SITTING Bulls war club is now in the posses
sion OF an Ohio editor. 1t is vicious looking
weapon about two and half ct long, and
bears the signs Of hard service. In the eaFy
or business" end Of the club a short buffalo
horn is firmly imbedied The old chief gave the
relic originally TO Eiroy Post. the artist. who
made two large paintings Of the Indians favor

The LATEST FAD among the equestriennes is
to ride one day to the left side. the next TO the
right. Since Mrs. Jenness-MiIler sounded a
trumpet aud informed women they we're in
danger of growing lopsided by not riding man
tashi there has been much anxiety felt over
the situation Of affairs. The physicians and
the foreign barons who run our riding acad-
emies have evolved this panacea for onesided-
ness.
The RIGHT HONORABLE the Earl of Rosebery
is deemed lucky man by the public at large,
for by the proving of will Of his late wife, it
+ found that he gets a sum equivalent to
S3.5O0.OO0 In addition to the fortune which
verts TO the children, but which is settled on
MIN, and which at the time q their marriage
amounted to 81 900 900, sum the late Lady
Rosebery inherited from her father, Baron

PHILIP SEIBKRr was married in Ohio. at the
close Of the war, to the girl who waited for her
so dier's return. In 1858 they were divorced,
Seibert going to California and she to WiscOn-
sln, where she again married. Seibert also
married in California. He was widowed few
years ago aud started back east with his son,
and by the mereSt accident met his first love
and they were again married, she having been
widow numher Of years, LETT with MARI ge-
able daughter, with whom young Siebert fell in
love- and Christmas ttey were married. The
question now arises as to how the two families
are relat d to each other.
a STRANGE light has been seen one-half mile
south of Coatsville, says the st. Louis Republic
The light is seen at 8 o'clock in the evening
anu has attracted the attention of a large num-
Der OF our best citizens. 1t is described as a
rolling ball of fire, which appears to be the
headlight of a railroad engine 1t crosses the
railroad and stops in an old orchard and grave
yard, It travels about three miles in its course
and disappears in the ground. The light is seen
to rise fifty feet high and then come to the
ground Fifty people have watched the ghostly
light at one time. 1t does not travel in the
same place at all times. 1t travels on a high
plain within five miles OF the Charlton river.
1t is creating great excitement here and peopls
are coming IN large numbers to see it. The
scientists are investigating it. but have not
come to any definite conclusion and the spirit
uallsts believe that it is the spirits of the dead
from the old graveyard.
THE common people in England speak all
sorts of dialectic denominations but with the
exception of perhaps one man in 10, 900, they do
not speak anything that bears any respectable
relation to writ en- English The English drawl-
ing burr is quite as unintelligible and not half
so musical as that brogue of the Irish which the
English are so fond of ridiculing. 1t is, on the
whole, nearly as easy for American to UNI
derstard French porter as an English one, and
IL Jhe trenchman pretendS to speak English, he
speaks IL hundred times better than the Lon
doner does. When 1t comes TO proper names,
names of streets, or anything which cannot be
guessed from the con- ext. the average Londoner
IS as ute " unintelligib to the ear unframed
TO the monstroSities Of his pronunciati N as if
he spoke Choctaw. 1t is a thousand tiles that
the English cannot be taught to speak the
American language, which is a hundredfold
more clear. more ell giant and more consistent
imam the tongue spoken IN England.
THERE has just died in Bombay, 1ir. Byramiee
Jeejeebboy-it is pity he had such an awk-
ward name-a broker and company director,
who seems to have devoted by far the larger
portion of his great possessions to the service of
the state. All his life long he has been found
ing schools and dispensaries and endowing
provident funds. Among the latter class Of
oenefacrions is one that sounds strange TO Euro
pean ears-the Calcutta Zoroastrians' corpse
bearers fund. His school endowments are
more Occidental In character-R medical school
in Poona, &4,000; ditto at Ahmedabad 42OyO
and so on. Like Sir Sydney Waterlow here at
home" MIR. Jeejsebhoy gave UP his own estate
10 the corporation or bis town for public rec
reatton ground, and gave money besides to i'm
prove the approaches to it. He also gave the
government, free Of charge, some land they
wanted for new road at Poona. And. finally
in his will he has left more than $50 0oO for the
education of Parsee children. Probably there
is no community in the world where such in
stances Of public llberality are so frequent as in
the ParSee community Of Bombay.
THE Listok of Odessa reports an interesting
instance of conjugal felicity. wealthy land
owner of one of the suburbs of Odessa married
woman OF 80 years, while he was So They
lived peacefully to 2ether for short time, but
soon they began quarreIing and often ex
| dulged themselves in a fight, by which the good
lady got worsted. She had an arm dislocated
and was sent to the hospital, where she re-
NAMED about three weeks When she got well
again she went home. Her husband meeting
her at the entrance, asked with a smile: Are
you quite well aSain, my dear" 20, dear,
yes answered the woman. II am so far re-
covered that feel strong enough to send you
to the place from which ! am coming" And
before the husband had time to appreciate the
full meaning OF this answer he was lying bleed
ing on the floor with his Jaw broken. He is
now In the hospital occupying the bed which
was vacated by his wife. He fatty refuses
however, to bEf9g action against her in the
court, or even to seek separation from her
such little troubles between husband and
wife" be said. speaking with one side OF his
mouth, must not be taken SO seriously in
practical life."
The Minneapolis (Minn.) Daily Tribune re-
Gently illustrated its editorial page with a por-
trait of Philip B. Winston. prominent demo
crat. who was elected mayor Of that fourishing
city in November last by an overwhelming ma
Jority. MIR. Winston is q native of Hanover

CHAuNCEY NJ. DEPEw carries 100000 iusur
ance on his life. When he talks about insur-
ance his text is something like the old woman's
declaration that care killed the cat" Mr.
Depew declares that it is anxiety tlat kills most
men, or rather which prevents lem from liv-
ing out their natural length of days A." This
anxiety is mostly for the family he will leave
behind b M and when man mas comfortable

he can live on and on as long as it was intended
he should live by his Creator. Although Mr.
DeDew does not have any anxiety to bring him
down to the grave in hurry, he is quite partic-
ular in his habits of life When he
was last in England he consulted the
great medical authorities to know now to attain
longviety, and he regulates his eating with due
