The Galena Illinois) Gazette says: "a
young lady in the south part of this county en-
gagged herself to three different lovers. The
young men, on learning the situation of affairs,
had a fierce quarrel about it, which was kent
up for several months. Finally, concluding
that no good could result from continuing the
warfare, all three agreed to meet the girl and
request her to take her choice. At the an
pointed time the meeting was held, when the
girl quietly informed them that it was quar-
larly interested, and that they must settle il
among themselves. Whereupon they retired
and agreed to settle the difficulty by DRAWING
lots, which was done, and the winner married
the girl last week. The parties are respectfully
connected, and, by request of one of them, we
suppress the names. The bride declares that
she got the one that was her choice from the
first"

ANECDOTE OF MAXIMILIAN-A Vienna pa
per relates the following remarkable incident
in the life of the late Maximilian of Mexico:
- w hen he Was Austrian archduke he wished
to send ship laden with his table service and
travelling effects from COnstantinople TO Naples.
The captain of the ship, as the night was very
stormy, begged the archduke not to send the
vessel ont of the port then, as she would GER
tainly be wrecked The archduke, however,
would not listen to this, renewed the command
and declared that ne would himself 20 with
the ship, and show the captain that there was
no danger. The captain pleaded with the
prince, asking him not to come on board when
he (the captainl should put out to sea for, ac-
cUrding to all appearance, the storm would be

and make all necessary preparations for put

Maxilian waited patiently in the hotel for

nobody appeared. Finally it was reported tC

CAUTION TO BALD HEADs.-A certain ge-
NAL bald headed gentleman, while in Paris,
went one day to the geological Gardens. The
weather was warm, and he lay down on a
bench. Presently he tell asleep, and he was
aroused by strange feeling of warmth about
the head. An infatuated ostrich had come
along, and, mistaking his entirely bald head

Appletons' journal thinks that the wearing
of fine dresses by church going ladies' is not so
reprehensible a practice after ALL 1t says
Man and woman IN pure linen, in unstained
apparel, in choice personal adornment, have
sense as dignity and elevation which those in
slovenly grab do not experience. And it is no
particular sin if this sort of elevation is carried
a little too far. Pride, of course, often enters
into fine dressing, and. many women particu-
larly are fond Of Haunting their fine feathers in
peoples eyes but great majority love hand
some dressing in obedience to an instinct of re-
hnement--in consequence of that sense of per-
sonaI purity which accompanies the wearing of
choice apparel-and hence we see perfect con-
grulty in the we'll dressed crowds that pour
through our streets on Sundays, vending their
way to the place OF prayer. And our most
fashionable congregations, if exhibiting little
too much of ultra elegance, even it showing un-
mistakeably the presence of pride and vain
glory in too large proportion for the spiritual
welfare of the worshippers, have yet an air Of
sobriety, are reverential in manner, at least
conditions that seem to have been somewhat
different in former times

A HORSE CAR INCIDENT.-On my way
home my attention was attracted to young
matron, bearing an infant in her arms, and
accompanied by girl of ten, evidently her
younger sister. The lady was keen, wide
awake, and fully capable of looking out for
herself She occupied seat in the middle of
the car, while the Miss was seated directly op-
posite. The mother called on her companion
for "the bottle" which was in the bag that the
latter carried in her hand. As she opened
the bag, gay young swell beside her remark
ed to companion that he would like to see
all there was in that bag. Unfortunately for
him, the wide-awake matron overheard his
remark, and turning to the Miss, she piquant-
ly said: "Open the bag again, and let those
gentlemen see all there is in it." The Miss
hesitated. "Open it wide," she added, "give
them good look, and also, give them that
piece of cake if they will have it." Then
turning to the crest fallen chaps, she ironically
continued, SIS your curiosity solaced?" They
we've obliged to give sign ofassent, when the

In the course Of two or three blocks the lady
and her companion got out, and am salts

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-There is good
reason to expect that the Post Office De-
partment will soon be authorized by
Congress to issue for the public use pos
tai cards similar to those now so popular
in Germany, and which have been lately
introduced in the postal service of Great
Britain. These cards have place for
direction, name and place. They are
about 24 by 81 inches, with ruled lines,
and a postage stamp printed on one of
the corners. They will probably be sold
at two cents, and will find here, as in
Europe, abundance of purchasers. Kept
in the pocket book, message may be
written on them while on the street cor
ner, or in car or carriage. They may
be deposited in the nearest post t-box or
thrown into the mail car, and thus hun
dreds of messages will be sent by mail
which are not sent now, simply because
the materials for writing are not at hand,
or it is too much trouble to write letter,
which is always supposed to be more or
less formal document.

1 The Tribune says:


It is usual, we understand, to recite
the Lord's Prayer at tue commenceme ent
OF the morning session in most common
schools. This may be objected to by an
avowed atheist, but why by any other ?


That prayer is as purely deistic as any
ever made, we believe it is claimed by
the Jews as an in substance one used by
them long befor Jesus of Nazareth was
born; there is not trace of distInctively
Christisa theology found in it. We are
not insisting on it's use in our schools;


we are only urging the fact that it con-


tains nothing which Hebrew Or Deist


q Romanist or Rationalist, might not


heartily accept. Let it be no longer re-
cited where the majority prefer that it


should not be; but we are confident that


no enlightened conscience was ever Of
Tended by its repe tition.


AS to the use of the Bible in common
schools, we do not regard the reading


of few (or many) verses from the
Scriptures as an act Of worship. nor as
in any manner involving an assumption


that those Scriptures are divinely in


spired, or of any special authority.
Still, we'd force no ones conscience;


and, If there be a parent who objects


to the repetition of the Lords prayer,


or to the reading Of the Scriptures, by


his children, we would have them ex-

SUICIDE AT LOUISA CouRTHoUsE.-The
citizens of this quiet and pleasant little vii
lage were greatly shocked on yesterday
morning to hear that Miss Jane Peake, O
most estimable old lady, had committed sui
eide.


From what we could learn, her room
door was found locked OF about o'clock in
the morning by some of the inmates of her
house, and upon its being forced Miss
Peake was found dead in the bed. A bottle
which had contained laudanum, found
in the room, showed that she had
died by her own act. It is believed that this
was her second attempt within the last day
or 80. She was heard on Saturday to say
that she had lived long enough in this
world, and felt that it was time to
get out of it.


Miss Peake was about sixty years Of age
and lived with her sisters at the Court
house. The family was one of the most es'
teemed and respected in the village, and
her own high character caused great aston
ishment at the mode of her death.
