A Eamona YYnnden Leg.

A celebrated wooden leg has been dis
covered in an old Vincennes shop, which
was once a smithy. There is abundant
evidence that the relic in question is
the sham limb which replaced the leg
which Gen. Daumesnil lost in the big
wars of the first Napoleon. This rugged
old warrior defended the fortress of Vim
cennes against the allied army, and is
famous for having said to the invaders,
when summoned TO give up the place;
Bring me back my leg which you shot
of and you shall have my keys! The
wooden leg now found had been sent by
Daumesnil TO Vinceunas smith in order
TO be ''shod. as the general himself ex-

Tan Yard Murder" was Lafcadio Hearn' S
first assignment as a reporter on The Gin
cinnati Enquirer. The crime was COM
mitted one Saturday night in the latter
part of October, 1874. but was not discov-
cred until the next day. Andrew Egner,
his son and an accomplice, all employees
Of a tan yard, killed fellow workman
most bruJaily, using B pitchfork as the
weapon of partial slaughter. They then
carried the body, with the breath Of life
not vet extinct, and threw it into one Of
the furnaces There it was discovered
next morning half consumed BY the heat.
The Enquirer's force Of reporters ~
that time was small, and Mr.. Hearn, who
happened 10 call. was asked by Mr.. Cock

Very Tunnr. Indeed.

Two very humorous boys are in Jail at
Burlington, Ia. They had a tame crane
and a funny idea. The idea was TO catch
another smaller boy and hold him while
they made the crane peck at him. They
did this. and the crane pecked out one
OF the small boys eyes The Judge sent
the boys to Jail for fifteen ind thirty
days. When they get out the victim of
their humor ought TO organize a posse
and capture them and tie them up and
have lr;le fun with the crane himself

New York Sun: The Indianapolis

But to reconcile the democracy of the
Sun with the democracy of Grover

AT THE NJ. Il. CHURCH.
Obituary Sermon on the Leslie
Children.

Obituary Sermon on the Leslie
Children.
The Methodist church was filled al
most to OVERLOOKING at the morning
service Sunday. Clusters of plants
and flowers adorned the vicinity of the
pulpit. imparting spring; like fresh.
ness to the interior of that roomy ed
lfice.
The sermon on the occasion, preach
ed by Rev. A. w. Atkinson, was in the
nature of funeral discourse pertain
ing to the death of the four children
of Mr.. and Mrs. James Leslie, which
occurred last February.
AS "a text the preacher called atten-
taon to two passages OF scripture:
John 1891, which reads"J answer
ed alrd said;unto him, what do thou
knowpst not now, bat thou shalt know
hereafter" First Corinthians, 1879,
reading thus: For now we see
through glass darkly; but then face
to face; now ! know in part; but, then
shall [ know asrI am known."..
The speaker .relateds briefly .the cir
cumstapces. of that fatal visitation of
diphthsrta in thsSfsmily off, Mi. and
Mrs. Leslie, by, which ina few days
they were ,bereft of.fonr loved and lov-
ing children. 1t was u sore trial to the
bereaved ones, hut by it their ties to
and claims upon the heavenly: home
are sirsn@hened.: 1t wasIa- high trib-
ute the patents paid to their y four de-
parted. children @tren they said:
"fhey never gave us .cense for
sorrow. but only sought to make US
happy" The patience displayed by
| those Children. combined with their
keen realiZttion!of' the nearness of
death was spoken OF as very remarks-
ble. Their words seemed to mean so
much. Oar religion teaches us Fever
ence for the dead ;tifil it liz ilttink that
we should thus devote this Service to
these loved ones VINO i.iive gone rom
our midst. "Devout men carried him
to his burial was said of the first
Christian martyr, and seems so con-
sistent to follow. out this example in
selecting the deyout as pail bearers.
The question very naturally comes
to us, after seeing happy home be-
reft of the very ones who make ii
such. why are all these things?
But the answer to this God has not
seen fit to reveal. He has said wha,
was given in the language OF the text
One of the pleasures of heaven will
be the joy of learning more of: the dis.
pensation OF the providence of God
than He has seen fit to reveal to us
here. Christ would haYe our implicit
confidence, hence He leads US through
dark places wherein our. faith is tried
One of Gods plans is to show US this
is not our abiding place. The absent
members of this broken family do not
think of their departed brother ant
sisters as being here in Mitchell. They
are gone to some other. place. whicl
they feel an interest in reaching
Those boys are better boys for th'
thoughts they have and hopes the,
have of meeting the departed ones.
The trials and tribulations througl
which we are sometimes called to pas

would not be rounded out withou
them. 1t is not simply to have 3 say

fair, but saviour who can sustain u
