China's Worst Foe,

From the Omaha Bee.
The people of China fear the plague worse
than they do war. When the war ends
with their defeat they can purchase peace
but the slaughter of the plague goes on IN

its terrible ravages. War is bad, but a
plague after the war would be almost I'M

The messenger on express car NO. on
the run between Reno and Ogden had
rather queer experience. When the train
was passing Iron Point, in the eastern
part of the state, he heard voice calling
him by his given name, asking, "What
was done with the corpse?" lie was at
once as though glued to the car floor, and
the package of letters he was sorting out
dropped from his hands
Not human being was in the car but
the messenger, and in moment or two
he recovered from his establishment enough
to think that some one had Struggled into
the car at the last station and began mov-
ing the trunks to find the concealed indl-
vidual. He was busy moving the trunks
when. in the same voice, he heard some
one say. sob, you might hunt till dooms-
day, but you could never discover the mys-
terious individual who is addressing you
The messengers hair was now standing
on end and he was unable to even carry
his own weight, much less anything else
The trip was made from Iron Point to he

senger says he wants no more OF car NO.

What to Read.

The difficulty of finding something to read
in an age when half the world is engaged
in writing books for the other half to read
Is not one of quantity but quality, so the
question what shall | read?" inevitably
suggests the parallel query, What shall
not readY" The wisdom of writing, &C
cording to Mr. Lowell, consists of knowing
what to leave in the inkpot. Applying the
same truth to reading it may be said that
he who reads most wisely is the reader
who knows what books to leave uncut. If
the number of books eXtant in the time of
Solomon was so great as to call for com
ment, Carlyle has far more reason to bewail
the prolific press of today, Still undaunt

turnal providers delivered a determined
attack on the party. The bridegroom
was knocked down by the aggressors, and
the bride slipped and fell. The battle
ragged furiously in the dark for several
minutes, and the arrival Of the police, in

received by them, and not knowing who
struck them in the obscurity, arrested
the bridegroom, and despite his protests
carried him off to the lookup. There he
had to pass the night and was only re-
stored to his disconsolate better half the

began, he gave up his office at La Rochelle
and retired to Charities.
From the time that the revolution began
Gueau de ReverseauX devoted his atten-
ton exclusively to preserving his own safe
ty. He wrote no letters he would receive
no letters; he saw no visitors and paid no
visits; he spoke to no person and allowed
no one to come near him. 1t would have
been impossible to be more prudent than
he was.
However, he wanted some sheds built
on his farm near Charities and ventured to
consult II carpenter. The carpenter told
him that he could not undertake the work
Immediately, as Gueau de ReverseauX
wished, because most of his wOrkmen were
drafted to join the army at once
Gueau de ReverseauX replied: 1.-The
workmen need not 60 They can send sub
stitutes."
This remark was heard by the work
men, but only the first phrase made any
impression on them. They reported every
where that NJ Gueau de ReverseauX, who
must be good authority, had said that they
need not 90. The news went to headquar-
ters that Gueau de ReverseauX declared
that the drafted workmen need not obey

be conspiracy, and he was condemned to
