The Rich Hill Review says there
is some very bad stories going the
rounds concerning one of their hither-
to prominent young ladies, and adds:
She is dependent upon her own re-
sources-fatherless and motherless
and has hard enough time of il
at best, we imagine. She had been
in Rich Hill but q short time, YET
has no other home. For the love oi
God and all that is pure, let her re.
trace her steps and halt in the ca
reer she has entered upon-providee
she is not basely belied. The cir
cumstances are against her.

The Rich Hill Clippers and Butler
Browns had a very interesting game
of ball on the grounds near the de-
pot last Friday. A very large crowd
witnessed the game; great many
citizens of Rich Hill being present.
It was very close contest requir-
ing the 10th inning to break the tie
and decide ;, who were the victors.
The score stood 10 to 8 in favor OF
the Browns. This makes even games
so that it will require another trial
to decide the championship, which
We presume will be played at no dis
tant day.

Butler Academy.

The Butler Academy, we are in
formed, will open about the middle
OF September The trustees of the
school have been in correspondence
with number of gentlemen in re-
gard to tho principalship, and from
what We can learn have about set
tied upon employing Prof. J. II.
Martin, of Ill, man of many years
experience in teaching, and who
has held many important positions
as professor Of some of the best
schools in the country. The trustees
are making every effort to push the
Academy to the front rank this year,
and the citizens OF Butler and the
county can rest assured that mono
but the best tutors will be employ
ed. For the past few years, owing
to circumstances for which the man
agers of the institution were not
wholly responsible, the academy has
not been what it should have been
in financial way and in attendance,
consequently the burden of making
up the deficiency in salaries has
pulled pretty heavy on a few who
have from year to year done their
best to hold up the school. The
citizens of Butler, feeling that 1t was
not just, and that the entire town
was, or should be, deeply interested
in the success of the school, decided
to chip in and assist the trustees in
any deficiency that may occur in the
guarantee of salary. To make the
academy success it requires some
thing more than money and qua: an
tee funds, and that is this: It re
quires that every citizen in Butler
should patronize and work for the
institution, and as the academy be
longs not alone to the people of But
ler, but to the county as well, it also
requires the patronage and assist
ance of the country people. By
patronizing the Butler Academy
you educate your children at home,
thereby saving the expense of send
ing them to foreign colleges; agar
they are under the eye of the parent
and their progress and conduct car
be seen. Patronize your hom,
school.

On the eth Of December, 1885, one Of the
American line OF steamers, the Lord Cough,
while On its way from Liverpool to Phladel-
phia, sighted Gloucester fishing schooner
in distress. The wind was blowing gale,
and the schooner, almost disabled, and with
three or four of her crew already washed
into the ocean, was flying the signal for help.
Capt. Hughes of the steamship saw the
fearful peril which rescuing party must en-
counter, but his call for volunteer WAS
promptly answered by the mate and crew
Of brave men, and preparations were made
for the desperate trip. To the astonishment
Of all, while the boat was being lowered, the
flag Of distress on the schooners mast was
hauled down
Perplexed at this movement, the hardy
rescuers hesitated, but it was finally decided
that the boat should go. With great difficult
ty the schooner was reached, and on her deck
were found twelve men utterly without hope
except from OUTSIDE aid 1t was necessary to
make two trips and the bold sailors Of the
Lord Cough took half the suffering men and
toiled through the wild waters TO their own
ship and returned as soon as possible for the
others.
When all were safe on the steamer Capt
Hughes asked the schooners master, Capt
George W Pendeton, why he had lowered
the distress flag. The reply Was;
I'VE saw that you were preparing TO make
an effort to save us, but we saw, also, that ii
was sea in which it was very doubtful
whether boat would live | said then to
my men: Shall we let those brave fellows
risk their lives to save oursf and they an
swered No" Then hauled down the
flag
The story is noble one on both sides
The men on the schooner were worth saving,
at all hazard; and the men on the steamer
were worthy to save them. -Cincnnati En-

When party Of guests enter the house or
the tent Of rich Moor one of the near rela-
tves Of the host is charged with the duty Of
making tea. He squats in one corner hav
ing on either side Of him large server or
platter Upon one Of these servers is mum
Der of cups, and upon the other a sugar bowl
box Of tea, a pile Of fragrant menthe
leaves, u copper apparatus for heating wa
ter and tea Urn The teamaker let's the
water to boiling with little fuel and then
pours the boiling water into his tea urn,
quickly adding to it some tea and some sugar
and allows the compound to steep a few mo-
ments. Then he pours out cup Of the tea
and tastes it, smacks his lips, shifts the odor
Of the liquid, and draws deep breath-all
with an air which says, II am going to get
this tea Just right.
The chances are that he does not find the
compound to his taste at the first attempt
for he pours the tea in his cup back into the
tea urn, adds little sugar or little tea, and
pours out another cup for a second test. This
process goes on, the teamaker tasting his tea
and pouring it back again, until he gets it
just to his mind Then the guests are called,
and If any one Of them does not finish his
cup, he is expected to pour it back into the
urn, for it is the custom in Morocco to take
three cups in succession, and the tea making
has to be begun over again. The first Of the
three cups offered is plain tea with sugar,
and the two succeeding cups are perfumed
with nrnthe or vervine. In preparing these
successive kinds of tea, the cups go back to
the teamaker, and change hands at the next
serving without any washing = Montreal

1t was excellent advice | saw lately given
to young ladies' urging them to marry only
gentlemen or not marry at all. A true
gentleman is generous aud unseltish. He re-
CARDS another's happiness and welfare as
well as his own. You will see the trait run
ming through all his actions. A man who Is
a bear at home among his sisters and dis
courteous to his mother, is just the man to
avoid when you come to the great question
which is to be answered yes or no. You
need not die Old maids. But wait until the
prince passes by. No harm in delay.
You will not be apt to find him in the ball
room Nor is he a champion billiard player
He has not had time to become cham
pion, for he has had too much honest earn
est work to do in the world | have always
observed that these champions were seldom
good for much else
Be wary in choosing, girls, when so much
IL at stake. Do not mistake a passing fancy
for undying love. Marrying in haste rarely
ends well. Do not resent too much the in
reference Of your parents. You will travel
long and far in this world before you will
find any one who has your true interest at
heart more than your father or mother
