BET HIS CORK LEG. r. Quigley,
of Memphis, Tenn, is relic ofthe Sui
livan-Corbett fight. Last Tuesday he
sat in front of hotel wearing neatly
fitting suit of clothes and with money
enough on his person to pay a months
hotel bill. Yesterday he worked in the
assemblage for q sandwich. He was
walking with a crutch and cane, he
having but one leg, and was attired in
anything but stylish suit of clothes.
II never had to get down to this be-
fore" said he, but l was so confident
that Sullivan would win that l pawned
my cork leg that paid 5000 for, put
my best clothes in soak and bet my
roll, and as q consequence I'm on the
town with one leg and an old suit of
clothes and not cent in my pocket.
Sullivan was q chump, and so was John
Quigley, of Memphis"

HINDoo LEGEND OF ADAM AND EVE.
Jacolliot, in his "Bible of India" and
Ramatsariar's "Texts and Commenta-
ries on the Vedas" give the Hindoo le-
gend of Adam and Eve in substance as
follows:
In the beginning God created Adima,
the first man, and Heva, the first wom-
an, which completed life. He placed
them on the Island of Ceylon and COM
manded them never to quit their place
of abode, but to remain and propagate
their kind. In the course of time in
wandering over the island they saw
most beautiful land connected with
theirs by lofty peaks and ragged rocks.
The land beyond was most beauteous
to behold, being covered with stately
trees whose branches hung with fruits
ofevery variety Many-colored birds
fitted from bough to bough and made
perfect din of cver-changing music
Adima mote that this is directly op
posite to our biblical accounD tempted
and induced Heva to violate the COM
mand of their Creator and accompany
MIN 10 lile piIdulSe dCIOSS tuc IOChS
peaks. When they had crossed the
narrow neck of land which connected
their island heaven with the mainland.
they heard loud cracking noise and
looked around just in time to see the
i5thmus break in two and sink beneath
the water of the ocean. When it was
plain that their way back to their
island paradise had been cut off they
turned their attention to their new
home and found it land of sand,
thorns, rocks and brambles, its sup
posed beauty having been but mirage
raised by Rakckasos, the Spirit Of Evil,
to tempt them to disobedience. For
this act they were doomed to perpetual
labor and final death.
Apropos to the Note" of July %,
entitled "Where Was Adam Buried 2"
it may be interesting to know that the
Hindoos and the Ceylonese all believe
that Adam was buried in q cave in the
side of the mountain known as adams
Peak Island OF Ceylon.

DID Nor ENJOY CLUBBING.-A SEN
sational and somewhat peculiar homi-
eide was committed in Wayne county,
w. Va, on Thursday, Charles Main
ard, a very prominent citizen, being
the victim, and Ephraim Queen, his
slayer. A brother of the dead man,
Charles Mainard, induced daughter
of Charles Mainard to so to a party
Monday night against her fathers
wishes. The latter met Eph. Queen
Wednesday, and accusing him of aiding
in taking his daughter, compelled him
to get down in the road on his knees,
and while holding revolver at his
head with one hand he dubbed Queen
over the head with the other while
yelling to him to pray louder. Queen
watched his chance, grabbed the pistol
from Mainard and shot him in the
mouth, the ball causing instant death.

You CAN Now BLOW OUT THE GA:

You CAN Now BLOW Our THE GAS.
A western genius has devised an ar
rangement for preventing accidents by
the careless use of gas. On the inside
of each burner is valve attached to q
silver wire, which protrudes about one
third of an inch above the burner. In
order to light the gas all that is neces-
sary is to bring the match in contact
with the silver wire. This expands and
opens the valve by which the gas is ad,
mitted into the burner Silver is one OF
the conductors of heat, and it does not
take more than five seconds to light a
let. Blow out the flame and 10 seconds
later there is no odor of escaping gas
perceptible from the self-closing burner.
