"A violent seismic shock was felt
throughout Sangamon County, Illinois,

In Morgan county, Ga, negro
went hunting during the recent snow.
He discovered a covey Of quails hudd!ed

he rested his knee on the ground in

Charles D. French, pedler and hermit,
of Orono. Me-, blew the top of his head
off. He left the following letter: "To
the curious.-3.l5 p. MIN two hours I
shall be dead, shot through the head with
big charge Of lead {no poetry intended)
and be on the spook route to kingdom
come. Disease and poverty the cause.
However, no one knows I'm in a desti-
tute condition, but Pm in itjust the same.
Burn, boil, bake, buy and send my car
cass to the phosphate factory, just as the
humor strikes you. I'm weak, faint and
hungry, but know how to cancel all my
engagements with Mr.. Trouble and Mr..
Misery. Yours respectfully"
One of the oddities of life in the
Maine factory villages is the class of men
who can appropriately be called "house-
keepers" In almost any town where
much manufacturing is done numbers Of
these men may be found. If one calls
soon after meal time he will be likely to
find them with aprons on washing dish
es. At other hours they may be seon
sweeping up, making beds, cleaning
and washing the children, cleaning
house, or cooking. Whether any of them
do the family sewing is not so certain.
These men are housekeepers for the SIM
pie reason that their wives can earn
more working in the mill than they can,
and it becomes matter of money saving
to let them do it. Some OF them saw and
pile the wood in the shed, and do the
chores, and take care of the garden, and
do other mans work around home, as
we'll as the housekeeping, and the ar.
rangement seems to be profitable.
Evangelist Moody has good many
distinguished people in his congregation
in Washington. President Cleveland
has not come yet, although it is expected
that be will be at one of the closing
meetings this week; but Mrs. Cleveland
has been regular attendent, and she
stood up loyalty, too, with the other
Christians when Mr.. Moody asked them
to show their faith by this act. Vice
President Stevenson and his family and
most of the cabinet and of the supreme
court and their families have been pres
ent. Senator Black burn, of kentucky,
Is quoted in one of the local papers as
SAYING that be would gladly pay over his
senatorial salary to Mr.. Moody, week by
week, if he would only keep the meeting
up indefinitely. And yet the Kentucky
Senator has not hitherto been reckoned a
particularly pious person.
