and the Bonapartist leaders in Paris
have sent agents to that city to induce
him to sign the manifesto and author
ize its publication. He has been living
in comparative retirement recently. but
has kept a careful watch upon the
course of events.
The imperialists have been canvass
ing earnestly for supporters among the
deputies, but not with much success,
while the division between the mon
archists and the Bonapartists her to-
fore on common ground as opponents of
the republic, has grown and each now
shows considerable jealousy as to which
will profit by the difficulties of the re-
public.
Should the Bonapartists act it is ex-
ipected that they will attempt to strike
a blow in Paris rather than in the PROV
inces. They, ike the monarchists, are
being carefully watched and every
movement is reported to NJ. Eibot and

court declined to issue a writ requiring
the county clerk of Clay county to is
sue certificates of election to three re-

latter had their names twice upon the

A Sleep walking Sunday School Teacher.
A young lady of this place who il
treasurer of mission band in one of ouI
Sunday schools, and who had about
five dollars of the bands money in her
possession, quietly performed a feat the
other night that was quite dangerous.
The lady referred to arose at a late hour,
dressed herself, went to the bureau
where she had placed the five dollars
and took it to little room in the house
which the family did not occupy. Gath
ering together few old skirts she wrap
ped the money up in them and then Sc
curely tied it with a string and placed it
in dark, hidden corner.
After this was accomplished she went
into her brothers room, took his loaded
revolver and started for the yard. 1t is
not known just how long she was out of
doors, but the next morning the revolver
was found in barrel at the rear of the
lot. When the revolver was discovered
in the barrel it dawned upon the young
lady that perhaps some person had been
in the house and taken her mission
money, and she quickly went to the
bureau where she had the money con-
cealed. On reaching the drawer she
found that it had disappeared. A thor
ough search was given and the money
found in the place above mentioned

A ke1srKa0Ie Funeral.

James Johnston, the man whose back
was broken last summer by being thrown
from hand car on the Beech Creek rail-
road, died on Saturday at his home. near
Kyler's mill. Johnston was buried by
the township overseers of the poor. The
circumstances attending the burial are
noteworthy on account of the difficulties
attending it. Johnston's house is on the
right hand of Moshannon creek, in a
wild, lonely spot, remote from other
houses and almost inaccessible,
The only approach toitis by a narrow,
rickety foot bridge which spans the
creek, which on Saturday was swollen
by the recent rains to raging torrent.
The coffin had to be carried across the
bridge, and the task, after several at
tempts, was accomplished by making a
harness of straps fastened to each end of
the coffin and buckled around the shout
ders of two men, who by clinging to the
single handrail succeeded in getting
across, although the frail bridge swayed
and sank with their weight until the
swift current splashed over it.
After the body was placed in the cof-
fin the men started back. They found
that with the additional weight of the
corpse the bridge would not bear them,
and, after several Intellectual attempts
to carry it over, they finally got it over
by rigging harness to the stoutest man,
who then dragged it over with much
difficulty and peril. Z
There was no minister present, NO
mourners and no funeral services were
held over the poor fellows body.-Phila-
delphia Letter.

Real Babes In the Wood.

The two pretty little children of David
Wismer. of Quakertown, figured in the
role of the "Babes in the Wood" a few
days ago, but were rescued before the
birds had occasion to cover them up
with leaves. They suddenly took it in
their heads, while playing in the street,
to make pilgrimage, and set out with
no further preliminaries than the prince
in the fairy tales. They came at last to
the road at Perkasie. several miles
away, but still were unweary, and kept
on their journey over the hills. Wonder
ing farmers gaped at them as they
passed.
The little ones soon struck the woods
and wandered around among the trees
until dusk deepened into evening, when
they composed themselves complacently
for slumber beneath the overhanging
branches. Meanwhile the frightened
father had spread the alarm and was
fast on their heels. He traced his babes
to the woods, where he awoke them,
and took them home with him half
frozen. Philadelphia Record.

A Black Cat in q Courtroom.

Toward the close of the trial Of M. F.
Kerr, of Charlottesville, Ind, for forgery,
an incident occurred which, while anus
ing, demonstrated that the average
American still believes in the efficacy of
''signs." During lull in the proceed
ings strange black cat, with fierce,
glaring eyes, appeared in the doorway,
causing solemn silence to fall over the
assembly. 1t paused, looked about, and
slowly swishing its tail to and fro ad-
vanced toward the space between the
prisoner and the jury's box. The 81
lence became oppressive, and the judge,
lawyers, jurors and prisoner craned thedr
necks and with open mouths gazed OF
the creature.
Would the apparition approach the
prisoner to be touched? IF SO the man
was innocent and would be freed. :
After standing as if transfixed for Sec
onds it approached the prisoner, who
with a superhuman effort stretched
forth lis hand and touched the glossy
fur. Immediately the cat gave joyous

Goats and overcoats

A clothing dealer says that about one
fifth of the masculine portion of the city's
population go through the winter with
out overcoats. In most instances the
cause is the lack of money to make a
purchase, but there are men who are
able to buy but who refuse to wear a
top coat. Some of these prefer two or
more suits of underclothing to an over
coat. A great many whose occupation
keeps them indoors constantly invest
their money in street car rides on cold
days and get along well enough without
the big coat.
