The informal winter of last week
finished up with copious rain, which
has done much good in replenishing
the cisterns, and also doing great good
to the farmers fall cereals and past

though, is causing great deal of ill

perhaps in other quarters, especially

Some of our hunters claim to have
seen and shot at a panther last week,
but the story seems little incredible,
however, as others say it was only a
large animal of the feline kingdom.
Be that as it may, if a genuine .'pan-

be one to give it a wide berth.

The NJ. E. Church choir will meet

The Rooster in Politics.

Every democratic newspaper has on hand cut of "a rooster in the act of growing. This is invariably printed at the head of a column announcing a party victory. The custom originated in Indiana in 1S42, according to "Politi- cal Americanisms. There were doubts as to the result of the local election. The editor of the Indianapolis Sentinel, Chapman by name, was accused of pre- mature growing by the rival whig sheet, the expression ''Crow, Chapman, Crow," being used as a headline. Re turns showed that the alleged growing was justified, and MT. Chapman, in his next issue, printed for the first time the emblem that has become so popular-an evidently victorious rooster, with the legend We Crow" printed underneath. There are other versions of the rooster's birth, but the foregoing appears upon the whole the most trustworthy.

Passes in Russia.

People who think that the free pass business is carried to extremes in the United States should note how they do it in Russia. The Railroad Gazette says that the Russian railroads have been accustomed to give free passes not only to their employees, but to relatives of their employees, practice which may have been heard of on this side of the At lantic. The term relatives" however, has been found to be extremely elastic, and recently the Great Russian com pany put it's foot down and issued posi- tive orders that hereafter passes will be granted to no other relatives of em- ployes than their wives, though a trifing reduction of seventy per cent. on the prices of tickets will be made to the parents, brothers and sisters of em- ployes and of their wives, but all aunts, cousins and stepmothers must pay full fares. If your brother receives a sal ary of as much as fifteen hundred rubles (seven hundred and fifty dollars) from the company you can get your discount only on firSt-class tickets; if he has from three hundred to fifteen hundred you have second-class tickets; if less than three hundred rubles, third-cIass tickets.

A LoNG-TERM PRISONER.
Liberation of an Italian Brigand After a
 Confinement of Sixty Years.

Liberation of an Italian Brigand After
 Confinement of Sixty Years.
 The other day, after sixty years of imprisonment, part of which was passed in the prison hospital, the Italian brig and chief Domenico Nocchia was lib erated, and passed through Naples to Rome, where it is probable, as he has no living relative, that he will be placed in some asylum, for he suffers from asthma and disease of the leg.
 This old brigand chief, says the Phil adelphia Telegraph, was born eighty three years ago near Viterbo, where at fourteen years of age he killed the snydic and his brother, priest, be- cause he had heard they wanted to have him arrested After the murder he fled and joined a band of brigands. leading the life of highwayman and house breaker for some years, during which, he asserts, more than million francs passed through his hands.
 When he was at school previously at MontefiascOne he had been the com panion of Pope Leo, and, being a good arithmetician, was at that early age made to teach his fellow scholars. When he became brigand he used to dress like superior officer, and quietly frequent the towns of Piedmont, Tus- cany, etc. Of the Neapolitan provinces only the Abruzzi were favored by his visits. It was sweetheart of his who finally enabled the gendarmes to ar rest him without shedding blood. The price that had been set on his head was thirty-f1ve thousand francs, which the gendarmes gained.
 He was taken, together with five com panions, who were all beheaded; but Nocchia was saved by Prince Orsini, president of the senate, because when the prince had one evening been stopped and robbed by the band Nocchia had set him free and restored all that had been taken. Nocchia was, however, con- demned to prison for life, but he did not cease to commit crimes. In 1S41, being veXed with the reproaches of the chaplain because he refused to kneel and kiss the crucifix, Nocchia killed the priest by stratagem. July ?, 1855, he had been irritated by dentist failing to extract a torturing tooth, and had treacherously sharpened a large nail and killed the dentist with two stabs.
 In 1856, having made complicated calculation of all the expense of the Crimean war within ten days, while his prison companions had not been able to manage it in month, he gained a prize of fifty scudi from the command ing colonel. Twice he tried to commit suicide-once at Pesaro, where he swal- lowed blister that had been put on a companions arm, but, he said, without result, as it was as if he had merely eaten pastry. The second time he had cut vein ill his arm, but this, too, C..

HE LODGED THE WEDDING.

Why No Tears Were Shed When the
 Grenadier Guards Left Bermuda.
 ''The recent departure of the Grena- dier Guards from Bermuda did not cause many regrets among the island ers," said well-known Bermudian to representative of the New York World recently. Though the officers of the guards are the cream of the Brit ish military, they and all other swell soldiery have fallen into disrcpute down there owing to the treatment one of Bermuda's most popular young ladies received.
 ''When the officers of the guards had secured their entree into the best is land society this girl fell victim to the blind god, and everybody, from Gibbs Hill lighthouse to St. George, was glad to hear that big wedding with an off cer would result. The prettiest of trousseauX was secured at New York and all the arrangements for the cere- mony were made with great elabora ton. The brides father is rich and of social position, and the affair was to be memorable in the social history of the islands.
 "The night before the wedding the bridegroom gave a farewell dinner to his bachelor friends. In the morning he was gone. A ship that had weighed anchor during the night was supposed to have carried him off. He left no word and at first there was wonder.
 Ut was the first time such a trick had been played on a Bermuda belle, and it was something the natives could not forget. Gradually indignation arose which came to manifest itself in social indifference to the entire body of soldiery. This was why no tears were shed when the guards left Bermuda"

Wnnan and Her nIirrnr.

Dr. Gustave Simon, the son of Jules Simon, has written an article on the ''Abuse of the Mirror," and in it is found this wholesome advice: ''The mirror has it's influence on health as it has on coquetterie. rThe nervous, faddy, hypOchondriacal woman creates mala- dies, and augments existing ones, in submitting to the domination of her mirror, which she invokes as a witness and consults as physician. If she can free herself from this, she diminishes her nervousness, her anxiety, her ab- sorption in herself, which compel her, by always looking into the glass, to an- alyze and question herself concerning the least changes in her face and the faintest sensations she may have. |. Briefly, the mirror should only tell you whether your toilet is neat, and whether you follow the rules of hy- giene." It is strange that some cunning inventor has not yet made a looking glass that would invariably present a gloriied portrait of the woman peering into it-a property more to be desired than the magic charm of the mirror used by Cornelius Agrippa.

Rig ScIlOOpera.

A great deal of transformation is be- ing circulated as to which is the largest schooner afloat. Everybody on the American coast thinks that the five masted schooner Governor Ames is the largest of all fore-and-afters, but this is mistake. The largest schooner in the last published government list is the Golden Age, 1,763 tons, built at Ab- bott's Bridge, O., in 1883, and hailing from Sandusky. The Governor Ames is the second in the list and the largest schooner on salt water. She was built at Waldoboro, Me, in 1889, halls from Fall River and registers 1889 tons. The Millie G. Browne, built at Camden, Me, in 1889, measured 1,596 tons, but, as she was lost on the first trip, she doesn't count in the present list. The four-master Tecumseh, 1,59O tons, built at Bath in 1889, is the third largest schooner afioat, and the John F. Randall, 1885 tons, built at Bath in 1889, is fourth in point of size. It is thought that the limit of size has been reached in this class of vessels, but there is a possibility that some ambitious down easter may yet produce a 2,000-ton schooner,

INSECT HORSES.
Ants Can Carry on Their Packs Many

Ants Can Carry on Their Packs Many
 Times Their Own Weight.
 A gentleman on the island of St. Croix instituted several experiments with ref erence to ascertaining the truth of what he had often been told of the ingenuity and apparent reasonings Of the ants of that beautiful island, says the New York Ledger.
 Having slain centipede which had been sent him by friend, he laid it on the window-sill within his apartment, where, though not a single individual of that mischievous race of vcrmin had been seen. to his great qualification, in the course of few hours, one solitary ant suddenly made his appearance through a crevice in the casing, att trasted probably by the odor of the dead body.
 Shortly after, having surveyed the premises, it disappeared, but speedily returned with host of companions, to whom the discovery of prize had un- occasionally been communicated; a more careful survey of the magnitude of the object was evidently instituted. The whole company then disappeared simultaneously through the crack, but an army was put in requisition, for the third appearance was multitude.
 Having mounted the care ass, exam ined minutely it's exact position and satisfied themselves that it was actual ly bereft of life and that no danger would be incurred from their premedi- tated operations, a new and unlocked for series of labor was commenced, bearing such striking analogy to hu- man reason, as manifested in what is commonly called ''contrivance," that, if there is no intelligence in it-why, the metaphysicians have in reservation an unexplored field of observation.
 Not being able to move the mass en- tirely, they divided themselves into platoons and cut the body into portions of about half an inch in length, which was effectually and skillfully done be- tween a late hour in the afternoon and the following night and each piece transported to their citadel through some contiguous aperture of sufficient diameter to allow the loads to pass.
 When the observer arose at daylight every part had been carried away ex- cept the head, which was really nov ing off toward the hole surrounded by an immense cOncourse of admiring spectators, probably on the qui vive, happy in the delightful anticipation of future feasts and revelings.
 On further scrutiny he found that the decapitated head was mounted on the backs of about a dozen bearers who, like a Roman phalanx with a testudo upon their shoulders, were marching off in orderly manner toward the same orifce through which all the rest had disappeared.

Angling in the Thames.

Last year was generally considered to be the worst for Thames angling that had ever been known, ass ertS a London correspondent. Perch and pike seemed to have disappeared, and large Dream, though numerous, were seldom captured. Barbel, again, which to the cockney are what salmon are to the northern angler, could hardly ever be induced to feed. Lately, however, the Thames seems to have recovered it's old reputation as a fishing stream. Dur ing the last few weeks large quantities of barbel have been taken at Staines, Sudbury, Windsor, Marlow and Ham, bledon. Some unusually large perch have also been captured. but it is doubtful whether the Thames will ever again be a good stream for perch-fish- ing, because the wash of the steam launches throws the young fry in hun lredS on the banks.

Looks Deceive.

When a man walks diagonally and slowly across a street with shoulders stopped, head bent forward, both hands in his trousers pockets and a generally dejected air about his person, it is no sign that he is sick at heart, discour- aged and perhaps reckless. I sew a man behaving in the manner described, says writer in the Detroit Free Press, and happened to know that clutched in either hand were legal tender notes representing over eight tn ousand dol lars net profit in a business deal he Ihad inst concluded and that he was feel Bg fairly well over the transaction.
