Household SupersiitiOnS.

If the broom falls across the doorway
a stranger is announced
The hearth has from antiquity been
the most sacred corner of the house.
Hindoos and Mahommedans cannot
die in bed, and the dying Brahmins
must be carried to the banks of the
sacred Ganges.
The ancients dropped a looking glass
into the water, and OWNED the fate of
q sick person by the reflection of his
countenance.
The bridal bed must, in many parts
of Germany, be made out of the wood
of living trees, dead wood being omin-
Gus of evil influences.
Sometimes Il door will silently open
of itself without any visible cause. The
Eosgiens consider this an omen of death
to some one in the house.
The Devonshire maiden still stands
before the mirror, with candle in her
hand, eating an apple, and beholds
therein the face Of her future spouse.
1t is held in Devonshire to be disas-
trous to any one sleeping on feather
bed that has been turned" on Sun
day, and housewives carefully avoid
doing SO.
As to the deathbed, there is a
superstition in Yorkshire that no one
can die comfortably in bed, and diving
persons have been dragged out and laid
on the floor to insure them an easy
death.
In modern Greece the mama. or
baking oven, is invested with all the
ancient sacredness of the hearth fire.
1t is sacrilege to throw salt or other
injurious matter into it, or even to mock
or dtride it.
In NcT-samptonshire the straw is Ia
ken from ahe bed after death and
burned. If footstep is seen in the ashes
the next morning, as is sometimes the
case, the person whose foot fits it will
die next.
In Scotland, where old customs
fingered until late date, the fire
was extinguished on May Day. Easter
or s.. Johns Day. and relighted by
a brand from the fires kindled on those
days, as survival of ancient worship
OF the sun.

LONGING.
BY JAMES FRANKLIN FITFs1

There's an unfCrgotten story
OF tho days when we were young,
There's d sweet and blissful story
OF tie days when we were young:
OF the tines We went a-wooing,
Went a-hiliing and a-cooing,
Very snt hesrt-mischief doing
IL the days when we we're young
All, those seasons filed with glamour
Al, those days when we were younsl
All unvc yed with worldly clamor
Were the days when We were young.
blue eyes beaconed us to tender,
lurcd rs ON TO glad surrender
Uudtr skies OF yernal splendor
IN tie days when we were young.
Sang the birds their blithest measures
In the DAYS when we were young.
Doomed the Garth with greenest treasures
IN the DAVIS when we were young
Hand IN hand we walked together
All the lengths of Young love 8 tether,
Never qucrying US whether
We should ever thus be young.
Blest for aye the recollection
Ofthe days when we were youngl
Sorrowfui the re.rospection
On the days when we were young.
Wiser w, as we are oder,
Strongcr-bTained, and haply holder
Yet alack our hearts are colder
Than in days when we were young
And the weared souls that ponder
On the days when they were young,
Onward look with rapturous wonder
From the days when hey were youn5s
To tie time of Joyous greeting,
To the place of happy meeting,
With the voice of faith repeating
We shall evermore be young.

REGENCY In HOLLAND.
Probable Government Change the
Death of the King.

Probable Government Change the
Death of the King
LONDON, Jan. l5.-Private dispatches
from The Hague report that the general
idea there is that King William is dy-
ing. A regency is regarded as so inev-
liable that a cabinet council was held
to-day to discuss the question of calling
it into Immediate being and another
meeting will be held tomorrow.
The utmost anxiety is felt
about the Luxemburs succession,
which will naturally deyolye upon
Adolph, Duke of Nassau, but which it Is
suspected the King of Prussia may APP
propriate on the ground of ancient
claims OF the Orange heirship, which
the kings OF Prussia asserted up to the
time of the pragmatic sanction. The
Duke Of Nassau, who is only a few
months younger than the dying king,
hates and is hated in return by the
Hohenzollerns quite as bitterly as the
dispossessed Duke of Cumberland.

DUDLEY'S CASE DROPPED.
Probably No Indictment by the Indian
apoIis Grand Jury.


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 15.-The
Federal grand jury this morning asked
to be conducted before Judge Woods
for further instructions. The foreman
asked the court for instructions
touching letters written with an
evident intent to corrupt voters and re-
quested to know what additional proof
aside from the authorship of such let
ter or letters was necessary to establish
a conspiracy and justify an indictment.
Judge Wood instructed the jury that in
order to make "a case of conspiracy it
would be necessary to prove that some
one received a letter advising corrupt
action and that they acted upon the ad-
vice so received. This is regarded as a
clean and unqualified dismissal of the
Dudley case from the further considera-
ton of the Jury.

George Meadows was hung at Pratt

charge all day yesterday and all
last night. While Mis-. hellam,
his victim, was almost posi-
tive in her Identification this
morning just as she was yesterday, she
still asked the mob not to hang HIM as
she might possibly be mistaken. There
is little doubt that this was because she
shrank from the responsibility of saying
what she knew would cause certain
death, and the mob so regardedit. Itwas
proved at the coroner's inquest yester-
day that Meadows had previously as
