nefxinr snpsrstition.

Thirteen Philadelphia young men have
banded themselves together, if rumors
are true, in what timid superstitious ones
will call q suicide club. This Club of
Thirteen, as its name hints, has been or
ganized in contempt of almost all known
popular superstitions. The club meet
ings occur on Friday evenings, and
on the 18th of the month, in room 13
of a house numbered 13. The fiery
headed member is the first to enter the
hall, and all pass under ladder raised
in the room. On taking his seat the
president opens an umbrella handed him
by the cross eyed janitor, and sits under
it during the session. The sergeant-at-
arms opens the proceedings by breaking
q. looking glass.
A skeleton sits opposite the president
at all feasts and two black cats stalk
around the room. The walls are adorned
with peacock feathers. Every member
Is under solemn oath always to spill salt,
look at the moon over his left shoulder,

ney, walk between couples on the street

chase a raven and rent haunted house

A very curious case in which a hus-
band executed q will which had been
prepared for his wife, and tho wife exc
cuted will which had been prepared
for her husband, has recently been de-
cided 10y the general term of the supreme
court of this state. John and Jane Mel
son, being husband and wife, wanted to
make wills each in favor Of the other,
and employed William Cowie to pre-
pare the instrument, which he did in
due form.
The wills were read and placed upon
the table for signature. Each then
signed one of the wills, made the re-
quisite declaration as to the character
of the instrument and asked the sub
scribing witnesses to sign. After exc
cution the wills were sealed up in an en-
velope, which was not opened until after
the husbands death, when it was dis
covered for the first time that each had
by mistake signed the will intended for
the other. The wife brought suit in
the supreme court to correct her hus-
bands mistake in signing the wrong
will by reforming the language of the
will which he did actually execute, so
as to make it conform to that which he
certainly intended to execute.
Her complaint was dismissed at the
special term, however, and the appellate
branch of the supreme court holds that
the dismissal was right. Mr.. Justice
Martin, in the opinion of the general
term, says in substance that there is no
will to correct, because the husband did
not make any will at all. The instru-
ment that he executed was his wife's
will, and of no more legal significance
than If it had been blank piece of pa
per. No precisely similar case is re-
ported in this state, but there are Eng
lish and Pennsylvania decisions in point
adverse to the position Of the wife.-Al-
banY Argus.

Lost a Valuable Relic.

When the Army of the Potomac,
in the spring of 1869, moved into the
fortification at Manassas and Centre
vile, the boys spent much of their time
gathering relics from the battlefield of
Bull Run to send home to their friends.
One day a gawky member of the
Fourth New York brought in an unex-
ploded bomb and started to extract the
load before sending it away. He should
have taken it to an artilleryman, but in
stead took it to blacksmith shop and,
with a hammer and cold chisel, sat
down on the floor, took the bomb be-
tween his legs, placed the brass screw
at the point and gave it heavy blow.
The next instant the atmosphere was
dense with disintegrated blacksmith
shop. A section of the batting roof had
business over in another country, and a
chunk of the side wall went down to
visit the neighboring camp. Pieces of
iron and steel that were once tools took
an immediate vacation and fed to parts
unknown.
When the boys rushed to see what
was the matter there the man sat bolt
upright in the midst of the debris, with
his legs stretched out, a hammer in one
hand and a chisel in the other.
"Gosh," he said, as he slowly crawled
to his feet, 81 guess the folks 7 homell
have to get along 'thout that she'll"
The only injury that had been done
him was the singeing of his hair and
whiskers. He wasn't even very much
frightened till the next day.-New

a Thief I'm nisrnisa.

Aminer operating ON Sabe creek, Idaho,
for some time past has missed a great
deal of amalgam from his sluice boxes.
He determined to keep watch for the
thief, and several nights ago he saw a
calf nibbling grass near the boxes, often
reaching over the rim and drinking the
water that flowed over the riffier. He,
however, paid no attention to the ami
NAL. The theft Of amalgam still con-
tinued, and a few nights ago, when the
calf appeared, he shot it. He ran to
where the calf was lying and saw hu-

he had shot the thief. who had been
cleverly disguised as q calf. The miner
took the culprit to camp. and, much to
his surprise, he discovered that the thies

The fishing schooner Surprise, Captain

pose of prospecting tso coast of Alaska

of finding hanks where halihut could be
taken during the winter. returned TO

there was a prospect of iinding halibut
and setting travis in many places with
out success until ON the Sth of April, af-
ter rounding Cape Chacon, on Prince
Edward island, the most southwesterly
point of Alaska, the first run Of halibut
was encountered.
The fish were so plentiful and easily
caught that Captain Bell. foreseeing his
supply of ice was to run short, hove
away to the northeast and headed up

travis out, and the sea fairly alive with

how plentiful the fish were from the
fact that in two days Captain Bell, his

and packed in the ice ten and half tons
of halibut.-Portland OregoniAn.

Allianceman Butler speaiss at wilson.

Wilson, n. c., April 2l.-lSpecial. Mr.
Marion Butler. president of the State Farm
ers' Alliance. addressed here to-day large
audience. mostly OF farmers. on the various
questions agltating the people Of the State
lie came, he said not as Il partisan or cham
plOn of any party, but to speak 90 the people
of their financial troubles and of the abuses
of our present political system and to adyo-
cate measures of reform Ii WAS the
opinion of his audience. however. gathered
from few representative opinions. that his
speech was an indirect advocate of the Third
party. He is Il man of fine presence, good.
resonant voice, distinct and pleasant articu-
lation and is a very pleasing and entertaining
speaker. His address of over two hours in
length was patiently listened TO TO the end. He
scored the Republican administration, but
did not exculpate the Democrats of a share in
the blame for the general financial depression
The.bulk of his speech dealt with the fnan-
cial question and abuses of the money power
After Mr.. Butler had had his dinner your
correspondent held a long private interview
with him. Among other things gathered the
III erence that Mr.. Butler neither officially nor
AS private citizen is a man unreasonable in his
persistence. nor is lie willing TO have the ex-
listing status in the State government over
turned. In fact, the impression made was
that of q very clear headed and conservative
man, far more trustworthy and reliable than
Colonel Polk. whom the Alliance people them
selves distrust as unsafe" From here Mr.
Butler goes to Tarboro, where lie speaks to-
morrow.
