The champion liar lives in Pike
County, Pa, provided somebody has
not put an end to his existence since
he perpetrated this whopper: A
farmer from Pike County, Pa, hear
ing ola large pumpkin exhibited at
a fair in Orange County, procured
some seed from the specimen and
carefully planted it. He succeeded
in raising but one vine. hut this
proved quite enough for his purpose;
for, although this yielded but one
pumpkin, it was OF such IL size that
it was sufficient to provide food dur
ing the fall. and during the winter
food and shelter, for his herd of Ave
cows, whose milk supply was such
that it taxed all the energies of the
farmer and his large family to care
for it.
The vine, that had covered the
farm, was found to yield IL fn~ir-sized
log OF very good lumber between the
leaf points, SO it was cut up. hauled
to the river and in the spring RATED
to market. The pumpkin was seed
less, SO it was the last of it's kind.

unique stable when spring came sud.

with shoes, hats and coats off, swan
with the seine poles towards shore.
None of them were we'll acquainted with

panic followed. The seine was

Strader became entangled with Meader

current, while the other three succeeded
in reaching the bank. All the men
drowned were well-known citizens near

Colorado transformers.

BRUSH. Colo, July 19.-The whole
country south Of here is completely in.
tested with young grasshoppers of the
locust species. the same that laid waste
Kansas aud Nebraska years ago. They
seem to be increasing daily, and are
now SO numerous as to drive sheep and
cattle before them, being an inch deep
in some places. Alfalfa and unripe
grains are being completely ruined.
Should strong northeast wind arise
within the next few hours, sufficient to
change their course, it would turn
them into a less fertile and less densely
populated region, which would be a
great relief and answer the teryent
prayers of the settlers. The advanced
one have reached Beaver Creek, aud
millions are floating on its surface. The
stream will probably hold the larger
body of them in check short time until
age develops their WINGS yet no small
obstacle seems to impede their progress.

Other Worlds,

By means of the spectroscope q
very wonderful discovery has been
made respecting Sirius. Astronom-
ers had noticed that this star was
in rapid motion through space, and
it was found that year by year it
was changing it's position in the
heavens, traversing in about fifteen
hundred years a space equal to the
apparent diameter of the moon. at a
velocity of no less than twenty miles
per second. Ofcourse, by actual OBJ
servation the only motion capable
of being detected would be that
which was square to the line ofsight,
so that although Sirius appears to
us to move across the heavens. he
may really be travelling in a slanting
direction, either toward or from us.
No one would ever have expected to
be able to tell whether a star was
approaching to or reccding from
us, yet even this seemingly
insolvnhlc problem has of late years
been accomplished by the spectro-
scope. DIR. Higgins, our greatest
authority on this subject, having,
identified certain lines in the spec
trum Of Sirius us those of hydrogen,
found on comparison that these we're
displaced in such q manner as to in
dictate that the star was receding
from us. 1t has been estimated that
this recession, combined with the
thwart motion of twenty miles per
second, gives as the actual move
ment OF Sirius in space u speed of
about thirty-three miles per second.
These. then, constitute some of the
chief items Conformation about Siri-
us at present within II knowledge.
There seems to be no doubt
that, in common with other suns, he
has his system of planets circling
round him alter the n OF
u own sun; and what q sys-
tenn! Vast as ours appears, it is
dwarted into insigniticance compared
with a system whose ruling orb is
5000 times larger than that which
does duty for us. There seems, also,
no reason todoubt that these planets
are intended to be the abode of life;
it may be that at the present mo-
lei non of them present any signs
of life, but think we may safely in
fer without improbability, that each
one of those worlds has n destined
period in it's development during
which life, similar to that which now
prevails on our planet. would be in
existence. What Il world such u one
would be, in size perhaps not inferior
to that of oul sun, himself q million
times large than our earth; and it
may be that as this Sirian world is
80 vastly superior to ours in size it's
inhabitants would be on a scale in
proportion to it's dimensions, u race
of beings of such intellect and civiliz.
alton compared with whom we are
but savages.-Chambers Journal.

Extraordinary Discovery of a
Ring.

A %servant-boy vas sent into the
town with a valuable ring. He took
it out of it's box to admireit, and,
passing over a plank bridge, letitfal'
onamuddy bank. Not being able to
find it he ran away to sea, finally
settled in a colony, made a large
fortune, came back after many years,
and bought the estate on which he
had been a servant. One day, while
walking over his land with a friend,
he came to the plank bridge, and there
told his story. 81 could swear, said
he, pushing his stick into the mud"
to the very spot on which the ring
dropped" When he withdrew his stick
the ring was on the end of it.-Notes

A physician in charge of a we'll

"There is one infallible test either for
the approach or presence Of lunacy.
If the person whose case is being ex-
amined is seen to make no use OF his
thumb, if he letsit stand out at right
angles from the hand, and employs
it neither in salutation, writing,
nor any other manual exercise, you
may set it down as a fact that that
PERSONS mental balance is gone. He

behind IL plausible demeanor."-Phil-

the more we enjoy the character OF
the man who makes things go along
smoothly and without squeaking.
A Fourth avenue a was rumbling
up the avenue; the day was cold, and
the door opened and shut to admit
and discharge passengers with an
agonizing groan that rasped the
nerves OF every n who heard it. At
Thirty-fourth street a new conductor
jumped OH the car, and the man who
examines the register opened the
door, which gave a peculiar ag-
onizing shrek. The new conductor
put his hand in his pocket, took out
a small oil-can and oiled the track on
which the door slides and the rollers
on which it hung, saying to the former
conductor, who still stood on the
platform, 81 always carry an oil-can:
there are so many things that need

though a man evidently past middle
life, his cheeks were ruddy and his face
free from lines?
