R&v. Mr. Moiuham, of New York, bus accepted a call to preach to and preside over the Catholic congregation at this place.

The Sociable on Thursday pvening was held at the Presbyterian church instead of at the park, the weather preventing them from using the park. The sociable waa well attended.

The Chatsworth Band have consented to give open air concerts in the park every Tuesday evening during the summer; all of which will be duly appreciated by our citizens.

Fred Osborn made his friend Jack Mor­rison a { resent of beautiful little mouse last Tuesday, and Jack with characteristic no­bleness returned the favor by sending Fred a fresh pig tail.

Barnard, of Bloomingtou, has sold the Stillwell property to L. T. Lamed for $5,000, taking the property now occupied by Mr. Lamed as part pay for the same. Possession to be given November next. The sale wus made last Wednesday.

Some one was mean enough to go into Peter Gerhart’s mill on Wednesday while that gentleman was nbsent and cut the backs out of a new pair of boots. We did'ut thiuk that Chatsworth could scare up such a contemptible rascal. A man so low lived as that should be tarred and feathered.

The quantity of pork and other improper food consumed is enormous and produces its inevitable results In innumerable types of disease, especially those of tho blood, exhibited in pimples, blotches, sores, etc., all of which however, yield rapidly, and surely to Dr. Bull's Blood Mixture.

Pat Murphy’s team of mules cam* very near ruuuingaway Wednesday afternoon. He had backed them up to Searing’s east coal shed for a load of coal, when they became frightened at a passing freight train and started for a lively run. The driver held on to them, and ran them into John Dorsey’s dray, when he succeeded in stop­ping them without their doing any damage.

Matches are made in heaven At least some of them are, and others are not. We were shown one of a lot the other day, that were made In Connetlcut, next door to the old wooden nutmeg factory. They were made to resemble an ordinary match, but instead of having been dipped in brimstoae paint had been used in such a way as to give the appearance of a No. m 1 Juclfer. The manufacturer, knowing what a weak­ness children have formatches to play with, probably made them for that express purpose.

Capturing Sea Lluai.Among the arrivals from the West yester-

terday were sixteen sea lions, uuderthe cure of Capt. Mullett; the general trapping- agent of the New York and Coney Island Aqiftriums. They were all iu excellaut condition, although somewhat noisy, and, while being transhipped to the wagons, which were to convey them from the Hudson River Railroad freight depot to their differ­ent destinations, they were the observed of many observers, chiefly boys. The sea lions among them a female with her young cub, “a very umoozin cuss,” occupied cages iu a special car which left San Francisco ten days ago. For the use of this the proprie­tors of the Aquarium pav $1,600, exclusive of the regular freight tariff', which is several hundred dollars. Two of the sea lions are to be forwarded to the Brighton Aquarium, England; two go to the Paris Acclimatiza­tion Society, two go to Amsterdam, and two to thejaquarium at Berlin. The others, in­cluding the cub and its dam, will be divided between the New York Aquarium and that recently established at Coney Island.

Capt. Mullet enjoys the distinction of having superintended the capture of every sea lion exhibited in the world. He was employed by the Aquarium Company to pro­vide a certain number of these animals for their establishment, and with carte blanche as to expendituses. Ho went to California, where he selected from among the raucheros fifteen of the most expert lariat-throwers, whom he took to the Pacific coast of Lower California, the expedition started from San Francisco on the 31 of March. Several days were passed in watching for the sea lions, the men spending their nights on the rocks. When a drove was sighted, their rendezvous was watched till the animals were asleep. At daybreak the hunters crept uoislessly to the edge of the water, and a lion was lassoed. The tightening of the cord around his neck awakened the lion, and he sprang forward far enough to allow another lariat thrower to cast the loop of his lasso over the animals flippers. Still another man was needed to secure the ami- mal’s tail, and in most cases the capture of the beast required the efforts of fifteen men. While two of the Mexicans were placing a lasso over the tail of a very fierce male lion he gaye it a jerk, and one of the men, named Lopez, was hurled over the embankment to the rocks below, and was killed. The other men refused to go near the sea lion, and the Captain was compelled to attempt lassoing the tail himself. While doing this the sea lion turned and hit the Captain on the shoulder, crushing the bone. When the lion was securely bound, he was lifted into a cage, which was placed in the water. This, in turn was towed to the vessle waiting and taken aboard. When the re­quisite number of lions had been captured the ship sailed for San Francisco, and the animals were transferred to nine special cars.—.Yetc York Sun.

It is rumored that the Pope intends testi- lying his appreciation of Mrs. Sherman’s zeal; in raising the largest subscription sent by the Romauists of any one nation in hon­or of his jubilee, by presenting her with the Golden Rose, with which only sovereigns, churches, or cities have been honored here­tofore. Indeed, it is said that only three times has Pius IX. given this honorable symbol to any one. One of the three he has so honored is Maria Teresa, formerly queen of Naples, to whom he gave it as a testimony of his appreciation of the kindness and aff­ection with which she and her consort, Fer- dinard, received him at Gaeta, when he fled from Rome in 1818. The Empress Eugenie received the second, and Elizabeth, empress of Austria, the third, The rose is made of gold of the purest quality and fashioned by a skillful artist. The fourth Sunday is set apart for the blessing of the Golden Rose by the sovereign pontiff, who sends it to a prince princess, church, or city ns a pledge of his paternal affection. It seems as far back as the eleventh and twelfth centuries the Popes used to carry a golden rose when walking in procession on Lentare Sunday, but antiqua­rians do not agree as to its origon .Alex­ander III. sent one toward the end of the twelfth century to Louis VII., of France, in acknowledgment of the services the king had rendered to the church. Pope Julius II sent one in 1510 to Henry VIII. By this record, which I have found in a Catholic work entitled “The Sacraments,” it will ha seen that if, the rumor is correct as to the Pope’s intention to bestow the rose on Mrs. Sherman, she will be the first individual in private life who has received so distinguish­ed an honor. — Graphic’s Washington Cor.

The Augusta (Me.) Journal tells it again iu this shape: “A young man from the country took his sweetheart to the circus in Hallowell on Wednesday. After viewing with open mouth the wonders of the me­nagerie, and making many comments on the ferocity of the ‘grave-yard robbers,’ and the huge elephants, the two proceeded ot the main tent, and soon were oblivious to all save the wonderful feats performed by the nimble sons and daughters of the ring. Presently, a sleek-haired, smooth-voiced, innocent-looking young man, bearing a tray of lemonade, approached them, and inquired of the young man if he would not accept a glass of cooling drink for himself and young lady oach. Jonathan supposing it was free, immediately took three glasses one for himself, one for his lady loye, and a third for another lady friend who was seated near by. When the glasses were emptied lie returned them and thanked the young man for his kindness, when to his horror he informed him that the price of 3 glassee of lemonade was 30 cents. He had come unprepured for any such drain upon his pocket for some time, he brought to light a small amount of nickels and handed them to the vendor of lemon-juice, saying: Here are 20 cents, which is all I have, and you will have to wait for the other four cents until your circus comes this way again.”

J ohn S hultz , Charles F. Lederer and John Bawlin were drowned near Ht. Joseph, Mo., on Sunday, by three independent i* mialtics.

The Dok’i Nobility.I tlnuk it won in ’50 or 51, when I

was crossing the plains to reaoh the gold holds. Tuere were only, three of os, and we were all the time on the lookout for IudianB. I believe the Mormons had only settled .\t Salt Lake about four years previous; and to cross the plains was iu those days u risky undertaking. We rode all day, and at night one always stood guard.

There was an awful silence in those i plains, and sometimes the silence weighed down upon us so strangely

■ that we would ride on for hours with­out speaking and you never heard even the barking of a coyote.

The air was rare and transparent, and the expanse about us level as a vast s*a, with occasional billowy heaves which one could see at a dis­tance of twenty miles. It was nearly always the same, except where the buffalo skulls were very thickly

! strewn, or where those queer Indiau I graves raised on polos stood out against the horizon, like odd black insects with very loug legs.

So we came at last to the head of the Sweetwater—then nearly a thous­and miles from anv settlement; and the skulls lay very thick there—thick as bowlders in a torrent-bed some­times; and there were little mounds all over the plain, and these mounds were all graves.

Each grave had a great buffalo or, elk skull—all white and bleached and ghastly-looking-at one end of it. I remember one of the elk skulls must have measured five feet between the tips of the horns, and the bone was white and dry as salt. And on every skull that was placed on a mound there had been written in pencil or scratched in with a knife, the name of the dead man below, such as “ William Rawlins, died 8 th May; 27 years, Pike county, Mis­souri.”

They were nearly all from Pike county,* Missouri, and we got tired of reading so many of them. There were other skulls lying along the road here and there with little sen­tences written on them in pencil, stating that so-and-so and so-and-so had passed by on such a day. We used to pick up a clean skull our­selves, once in a while, and write something of this kind on it, so that we might leave a sort of clue as to what had become of us, if we should get killed.

Well as wwe ere stumbling over the graves and reading the inscriptions on tjje skulls, I suddenly saw a great dog rise at some distance and slowly retreat to another mound still further off where he turned and stared at us. He was one of those huge English mastiffs, and must have belonged to one of the dead men. You could see through him, no starving wolf could have been gaunter, and his great pro- truding eyes had the wildest look you ever saw. He seemed to have lost his voice and his flesh together, and looked like the very phnntom of a dog We called and whistled to him, but he never barked—only stared at us with the same wild look. Then we went to the grave he had been lying on, and it was nameless—there was no skull except the long coffin-shape of the mound.

We tried for ever so long to coax the dog even to come and eat some­thing, but he would not come near us and would run off in a weak, shy way if we tried to approach him. God knows how long he had been there ! We remained a whole afternoon just to dig a little hole for water for the dog; you could strike water there at four or five feet, right among the graves. Then we left some crackers and dry food and rode away west.

As we went I turned and saw him return to .the grave and lie down on it at full length, as though trying to guard it. And I watched him, and watched him, until at last, when I turned in my saddle I could see noth­ing except the white skulls all behind me, and a few weird Indian graves on the edge of the horison where the night was creeping up.— Cincinnati Commercial.

Aboriginal Ruins.The ancient ruins which are scat­

tered all over this country are some of the strangest unwritten pages of history. Our fertile valleys have been densely inhabited and highly cultivated by an enlightened race of people centuries ago, while the ruins of 1 the houses, corralls, towns, fortifi­cations, ditches, pottery-ware, draw­ing, non-interpretablo writings, &c., go to show there have been many arts cultivated in those days which are now entirely lost to'the human race. Their houses are built of almost every kind of rock, from small boul­ders to the finest sandstone. Some of the finest of these ruins and the most perfect, are located fifteen miles up the Animas river, or about thirty-

imperial Idle at Ploiesti.The Emperor dwells in a pretty

seven-roomed villa—a journalistic friend of mine boasts with truth that he lives next-door to the Czar of all the Russias. Gen. Nepokoitschitzky the Chief of the Staff, may be met at any time walking between his own quarters and those occupied by the Grand Duke commander-in-chief, un­attended even by an aid-de-camp and with a great bundle of papers under his arm. Every passer-by may see Prince Gortschakoff sitting out in the open air on the raised door­step of his house, under the shade of shrubs growing there in pots, stooping languidly over one of the novels which are said to engross so much of his time. The Grand Duke Nicholas leaves his quarters and walks with his personal staff through tlio streets to a schoolhouse, the large room of which is used as a head­quarter mess. The other day and while dining in the garden of the Hotel Brofft, I noticed three young staff officers sitting b\ .. little table; The waiter desired to serve them, they wished to dine, but were anx­ious to do so in one of the pretty bosquets, and would wait till one was vacant, which was not then the case. They waited some time, and then fell heirs to the bosquet, and, let us hope enjoyed there Mr Broffl’s excellent cheer. An officer who happened casu­ally to join mo pointed out one of the three as the Grand Duke Nicholas the younger the Commander-in-Chief and the nepjiew of the Emperor. Having dined, the little party went quietly off to the theater, aoao of the House of Brofft being aware who was the distinguished guest. The same afternoon six staff-officers walked in­to the garden of the same hotel and demanded of Miller the accomoda­tion of six bed-chambers for the night. The house was full, but Mil­ler know three of the officers as pre­vious customers, atad told these lie would strain a point to provide for them. They accepted the accomoda­tion ; 1 the other thfiee went 'away t 6

live iffles below Animas city, in a large Jolley fifteen miles long by seven wide, on the west side of the river. OiThis valley has been covered with housings every o fsize the larg­est ones 300x0,000 feet, and about 300 feet apart. They are built of sand­stone laid in abode mud’ the outside walls being four feet and the inside walls one and a half to three feet. In the lower story port holes a foot square have been built for defense. There are rooms now left and walls for about four stories high still stand­ing. About the second story, on the west side, there has been a balcony along the entire length of the build­ing. No signs of a door are visable in the outer wall,and the ingress must have been from the top, in the inside there being passages from room to room. Most of them are small, from 8 x1 0 to 12x14 feet, the doors being 2x4 feet. The arches over the doors and port-holes are made of small cedar poles, two inches wide, placed across, on which the masonery is placed. The sleepers supporting the floor are cedar, and about eight inch­es tlroough and from twenty to fifty feet long and about three feet apart. A layer of small, round poles is then

E laced across the sleepers, then a tyer <N thinly-split cedar sticks then

about three inches of dirt, then a car­pet of some kind of coarse grass, which forms the floor. The rooms that were protected from exposure are whitewashed and ornamented by drawings and writings. In one of these rooms the impression of a hand dipped in whitewash on a joist is as plain as if it had been done only a few days ago. In another room there are drawings of tarantulas, centi­pedes, horses and men. One room in the eastern portion is quite a curios­ity, it being perfectly round, and must have been used as a hall. It is twenty feet across. In some of these rooms have been found human bones, bones of sheep, corn-cobs, goods, raw hides, and all colors and variety of pottery ware. The two large buildings are exactly alike in every respect. Portions of the building plainly show that it has been bestroy- ed by fire, the timbers being burned off and the roofs caving in, leaving the lower rooms entirely protected. The rocks these building have been built of must have been brought a long way, as nothing to compare with them can be found within twenty miles. All the timber used is cedar and has, at least, been brought twen­ty-five miles. Old ditches and roads are to be seen in every direction. In conversation with the Navajoes in regard to these ruins, they say their forefathers came there five old men’s age ago (500 years) and these ruins were here, and the same then as now and that they havs no record of it whatever.—Colorado Springs Gazette.

Misnomers.•; > o

Some of the articles in use in com­merce are so misnamed that persons unacquainted with them would form a ver yiucorreot idea of their charac­ter if they judged by the names giv­en to them. The following substan­ces are sam ples:

Black lead does not contain a single particle of lead, being compos­ed of carbon and iron. Brazilian grass does not come from Bx-azil, or even grow there; nor is it grass ut all. It consists of strips of a palm leaf (chaumeps ai’gentea,) and is im­ported chiefly from Cuba. Bui’gun- dy pitch is not pitch, nor is it manu­factured or exported from Burgundy. The best is a resinous substance pre­pared from the common fi-ankincense, and brought from Hamburg; but by far the greater quantity is a mixture of resin and palm oil. Cat-gut is not the gut of cats, but of sheep.

Cuttle bone is not .bone at all, but a structui'e of pure chalk, once em­bodied loosely in the substance of certain extinct species of cuttle-fish. It is enclosed in a membraneous sac within the body of the ‘•fish,’’ and drops out when the sac is opened, but it has no connection whatever with the sac or the cuttle-fish. Seal­ing wax is not wax at all, nor does it contain a single particle of wax. It is made of shellac, Venice turpentine and cinnabar. ‘Cinnabar gives it the deep red color, and the turpentine renders the shellac oft and less brittle. German silver is not silver at all, nor was the metallic alloy call­ed by that name invented by a Ger­man, but has been in use in China time out of mind. Kid gloves are not made from kid skins, but of lamb or sheep skins. At present many of them are made of rat skins. Meerschaum is not petrified “sea- foam,” as its name implies, but a composition of magnesia and water. Mosaic gold has no connection with Moses of the metal gold. It is an alloy of copper and zinc, used in the ancient musivum or tesselated work. —Boston Com. Bulletin.

Immorality at Harvard.The fleet-footed and nimble-winged

goddess Rumor tells us that of the class of 1877 of Harvard college a larger proportion than that of any previous class of the good old insti­tution lost their degrees from vari­ous causes. Rumor is not always careful; indeed, she vexes us often by misstatements, but in the present case she is probably well backed in her statement. She says that some­thing like a score of young men have to do their duty to the college, and after four years of time issue from the protecting arms not bearing the insignia of an honorable performance of the work assigned them. Where lack of ability exists, it is a misfor- tune, whei'e accident or sickness in­tervenes, there can be no reprobation but rather pity and sympathy; but whei'e laziuess, or worse still, crimin­al neglect occurs, only condemnation is the just due of the young men to whom the stigma applies. They have neglected holy and glorious oppoi-- tunities; have brought sorrow to their friends and parents; they have taken a crooked step on their enti'ance into the busy part of lif« More than one young man—we speak advised ly- lost his degree at Harvard this year on Recount of immorality. The facts patent to many in the city were also known to the college authorities, aud could not be overlooked. Now, we venture to say that a certain gang of performers wlio came to the city did some young men iiTeparrable injury —here is a proof of it, we more than opine. For a few days of license and frivolity— to use mild expressions— some students have sacrificed a title of honor. There is something rotten somewhere, for students of ten years ago do not remember recklessness and foolishness of the same kind as now exist or have existed during the past year. Recklessness and foolish­ness there were, but it did pot take the form of licentiousness and open defiance of moral lqws. For the* honor of dear old fiarvard will not the faculty make greater exertions to ascertain the cause of the trouble, and for their own sake and for tho grand army of lovers, graduates and sons of Harvard, Will not the classes of ’78, ’79, and ’80 make a change in the tone of the university ?—Boston Traveler, July 3.

Pope Pioiu IX, am^iis Predeeetnors.

n o r la n d yet. ST his vMierlble 4*oAtiff passed hiJFaSth y«ar last nfcnth, ami has reigned atthe head of the Roman Catholic Church thirty-one years. Iu earlier times it was a standing belief that no Pope would ever be permitted by the Divine Power to outlive, in point of temporal service, ■ M the years of Peter,” but Pope Pius IX, outstrip­ping all his pi'edecessoiu, his outlived “ Peter’s time” by six years. No other iu all the line of Popes—over 250 iu all—his over presided over his church for more than twenty-live years, and thia ifl only twfc or three instances uhtBide of St. Petor aud the present Pope. Of short tenns there have been yiquy—extreme brevity of power in ty-jung the oftieers of a number. Stephitt H. was Pope for two days o n ly U rb a n VII. for thirteen days; Boniface VI. for fif- teexr days; Pius III. for sixteen days; Celestin IV. for seventeen days, and several others for periods not exceed­ing a month. Duiing tho century of our Americau independence Rome has harbored six Popes, of which the present incumbent has used up neai'ly a third of the huxrdred years. The combined serice of Leo XIL and Pius VII., in this century, aggregated only seven years and a few days. The life of tho jxresent Holy Father is a curiosity iu the history of church Pontiffs; first in his long ; life, and second in his long service, hiving exceeded all others. Especially strange does this appear when it is known that iu early manhood Gi- ovani Maria Mastai-Ferretti (the real name of Pope Pius IX .) was a vei-y week person, physically, being a victim of epilepsy.

—Lord Chesterfield says that the Duke of Newcastle lost half an hour in the morning, and spent the whole day in running after it. This is a true expression of the career of a busy but inefficient man. He who is always driven, always in a hurry, • always late, and always with defici- enies to be made up, is very likely to be a failure. It is well known that the responsibilities of society are best and most easily discharged by those who estimate the value of small portions of time, who do things strictly in their proper season and place, who provide against contin­gencies and distribute their day iu reference to what is, as well as to whaa may be, required of them.— Jacob Bigelow.

Quick Time Around tne World.Tbe Omaha Republican prints

a letter from Dr. F. S. De Hass, American Counsul at Jerusalem, in which he gives an account of n tour be has made around the world in sixty-eight days of actual traveling time. Tbe letter is dated Jerusalem, May 10, 1877. The outline of tbe journey we quote, greatly condensed, in the following:

“Haring safely arrived at my post, I take pleasure in furnishing your readers, agreeably to promise, with a brief notice of my quick and success­ful tour around the world. Not counting tbe time I lay over at dif­ferent points, as these breaks in the journey could all have been avoided, I made the entire circuit of the globe in sixty-eight days, and but for heavy weather on the Pacific would have made it in sixty-two days. 'The jour­ney from Alexandria, Egypt, via Brindisi and Paris to London, and from thence to New York and San Francisco to Yokohama Japan. Crossing over from here to Canton, in China, took six days. A sail of ten days over the China Sea and through the Strait of Malacca, touch­ing at several points we have not time to notice, brought us to Ceylon, off the coast of Hindustan, and one of the richest of the East India Is­lands. Thence we sailed to Suez, in Egypt, which took twelve days, and from thence, in a few lioifrs, by rail to Alexandria, 25,000 miles—10,000 by water and 9,000 on land—in sixty- eight days, without any accident or detention of any kind.”

Since Saturday morning, says a dispatch of yester­day, there have been given out about2 , 0 0 0 pounds of sugar, eighteen chests, or 1 , 0 0 0 pounds, of tea, twen­ty boxes of cheese, twenty tabs of butter, 1 0 0 pounds of coffee, and other groceries in proportion. The average of pork per day has been twenty-five barrels, or over 5,000 pounds, and yesterday twenty-two quarters of fresh beef, weighing about 8,300 pounds, were cut up and distributed. Flower is plenty, but other articles are greatly needed in quantities to meet the demand. Cooked provisions are generally needed, as well as bread, butter, tea, sugar, milk—in fact, all necessaries of life, and the articles that comprise the ordinary food of man are need­ed.

hard times there iB much suffering. The number of the weary unemploy­ed is very large. Htrong and brave men wear out their hearts as they see wives imd children in want, and after months o f va in 1 Searching for employment too often are tempted to crime or maddened to suicide. Yet the land is broad enough for all, and millions of acres which will yield a sure subsistence to patient workers lie waiting for any man to till them. Our cities are overcrowded. The growth of rural populaion has been slow, wliilo the totops lian tf advanced with tv rapidity far exceeding tlie duPuilpA lor such ferr ic# at Cab be rendered at the centers of popula­tion. In 1850, the rural population of the Northern free States—the newer States, Kansas, Nebraska, Colorado, and tbe Pacific States not being included, of course—was 1 0 ,- 208,727, or 76£ per cent, of the entiro population of those States. But the changes since that time, as shown by successive census reports, have been remarkable, and indeed alarming. The following shows tho ttm qfytjw liping ;n cities and Ipwns, hrid in-the obuHtry; with the ^emula­tion of each class to tlie total popula­tion: c. ,•-<: i : ' 9Cities and towns, P er Cent.1850 . .3,131,675 23.51860 .. . .5,081,086 28.01870 .. . . 7,841,950 34.0

The same Services,manufactures, and other tasks per­formed iu cities and towns, which less than one-fourth of the whole population sufficed to perform in 1850, more than one-third of the entire population was struggling and crowding for opportunity to per­form in 1870. At the ratio of 1850, the population sufficing for the citibs and towns of these States should have been only 5,014,243 in 1870, and, though many changes in our industrial condition have justified some change in the proportion, it is indisputable that we have gathered by far too large a part of the popula­tion into towns and cities. There they crowd and crush each other, fighting desperately for the work which is not enough for all, and wast­ing no small share of the industrial force and productive power, which, rightly distributed, would add to the nation’s prosperity. Beyond all doubt this overcrowding of civic em­ployments, this • disproportionate massing of the population in places where hundreds of thousands must struggle in vaiu for the work, has been an important cause of recent prolong­ed disasters.

Tbe remedy ? Mr. Greeley taught it: “Go West, young man!” Look at tbe advertisements offering free of first cost millions of acres to actual settlers. A single company, the Union Pacific, is now offering 3,000,- 000 acres of rich land in Eastern Nebraska, in the great Platte Valley —“ free home-steads to actual set­tlers;” while the Central Pacific has been similarly advertising the La­borer’s Paradise; and yet the crowd­ing and crushing millions in Eastern towns still struggle, suffer, and die. Happily for them, thousands have found homes, permanent labor, and sure subsistence on these Western lands. There too, they have found a degree of independence which few can find where all the paths are over­crowded, and “ every door is barred with gold,” or opened only as a favor. Why it is that a much greater num­ber, warned by prolonged prostration in business, have not migrated from Eastern towns to the safety, indepen­dence, and prosperity of the W est­ern farms, who can tell ?—New York Tribune.

Easy Lesson in Physiology.Supposing your age be fifteen or

thereabout. You have 160 bones and 500 muscles; your blood weighs 25 pounds, and your heart is 5 inches in length and three inches in diameter, it beats 70 times per minute, 4,200 times per hour, 100,800 times per day, and 36,772,200 times per year. At each beat a little over 2 ounces of blood is thrown out of it; and each day it receives and discharges about 7 tons of this wonderful fluid. Your lungs will contain a gallon of air,and you inhale 24,000 gallons per day* The aggregate surface of the cells of your lungs, supposing them to be spread out, exceeds 29,000 square inches. The weight of your brain is 3 pounds; when you are a man it will weigh about 8 ounces more. Your nerves exceed 1 0 ,0 0 0 , 0 0 0 in number. Your skin is composed of three layers and varies from i to J- of an inch in thickness. The area of your skin is about 1,700 square inches. Each square inch contains 3,500 sweating tubes or perspiratory pores, each of which may be likened to a little drain-tile \ of an inch long, making an aggregate length on the entire surface of your body of 201,166 feet, or a tile ditch for draining the body almost 40 miles long'

A correspondent at Saratoga in­forms us that Judge Hilton's order is applicable neft only to Jews but to all trades-people. And this order is being carried out. Formerly the Grand Union was a popular caravan­sary. Drummers displayed their wears and extolled the firm textures of the fabrics in the shadow of the grgnd piazza and in the front rooms of the cottages. The prices were as democratic as the pastrons. It was a busy mart, and many of tha best rooms were given up to the industri­ous people. All this is changed now, all silk-stocken exclusiveness is to hereafter mount the broad staircases and glide over tho stately halls. That the new order of things will be a success is foreshadowed by the fact that they were nearly double the number of guests registered yester­day that were on tne books at the same date last year.

their power to secure the hay crop at tlie earliest possible season. While the rains have tended to make the growth of grass exceedingly rank and heavy,’ they htiVe ^t the same time prevented tljaproper working of corn overhdlge u*tqntyf territory. So it has forced forward the growth of weeds to an unprecedented extent. Thus, hay-making and corn-plowing may both come at one and the same time.

While it is undeniably true that for feeding purposes, Loth for horses and cattle, and especially for young stock hay is altogether better if out when just out in blossom, or rather when the last blossoms drop their pollen, it is nevertlile8 8 true that farmers having a large area to mow cannot so time their work as^to cut the whole crop in its perfection. The best plan in such cases is to begin cutting at the earliest practicable time, so that the bulk ot the grass may be cut when just in its prime, leaving a small por­tion to be cut later, or when the seed is more fully formed. This may be reserved for fattening stock that are full fed with grain, and the earliest cut portion saved for young stock and sheep.

This is intended to apply especially to timothy and clover, the two great hay-making plants of the West; and the principal applies more fully to these, since clover, when grown among timothy, would be wholly out of condition for hay, if left until the seed of the timothy was two thirds formed. When grass is cut early the aftmath is much stronger, and thus two things are gained—better hay and thicker and stronger pastur­age for the fall.

Red top may be left later before it is mown. It has not so much stalk as timothy, and the bottom thickens as the grass ripens. In mixed mead­ows, the observing farmer will gener­ally so time his cutting as to get in his crop at the time the principal grasses comprising the crop are in their prime. For instance: If there be considerable blue grass, this should be allowed to get rfpe, for this grass thickens at the bottom as the top ripens to a greater degree than any other grass, and the top appears to suffer less from the weather than most other grasses; thus it may be left longer with grasses blooming later than some other varieties.

The real point in hay-making is to cut the meadow at such times as shall best conserve the natural juices of the grasses. Experiment has shown con­clusively that this point is gained when the plant is fullest of elabo­rated sap. This is at the time when the seed is just beginning to form, or immediately after the inflorescence. It will at once be seen that the proper time to cut any and all grasses for hay is at this time. It is true livery stable keepers, and especially public stables, as those where omnibus and street-railway horses are kept, and whose superintendents feed their teams principally on grain, like hay pretty ripe. So do those stables where cattle are fattened on still slop. For the farmer hay is best if cut when it will weigh the most, and this is at the time we have designat­ed ; or, say from the time when the seed is just beginning' to form; and bay cut at this time will, all things considered, give the best satisfaction. —Prairie Farmer.

A Chinese Giant.A veritable giant is on exhibition

on J street, between Third and Fourth. The giant is a shrewd, good-natured, and rather dignified Chinaman, who had donned a man­darin’* costume, and sits in a chair large enough for a summer house. He is the most maaeive man ever seettYn^hiB city. A large-handed man cannot encircle his wrist with one hand, and two of tho giant’s fingers make an ordinary hand stretch to encircle them. A man fi^e feet eight inches can stand erect under his outstretched arm and not toaeh it with his head. Ordinary men have to tilt their hats and look xipward to his face. He stands seven feet nine inches high, and claims he weighs 412 pounds. He is a finely proportioned man, not at all corpu­lent—is, indeed, hard muscled and compact in frame, and moves with tho ease of ordinary men.— Sacra­mento Record-Union.

THE FATAL MARK.All was gayety and bustle at that

deservedly admired and popular spa, Chaudfontaine, a spot more highly •rifted by nature than any other in Belgium. The usual circumstance of a marriage having taken place there, to the great amusement aud satisfac­tion of the visitors and immediate neighborhood and the real joy of the parties concerned, filled the persons congregated on the occasion with perfect ecstasy.

Jules Deviver, a subaltern in the French lancers, had left his division of the army in Spain, having received a severe wound at the battle of Sala­manca, which compelled him for a time, by the advice of his medical at­tendants, to seek the reviving air of his native bills, situated in the vicin­ity of Liege. Arrived here, he quick- lv recovered, and lmd already made up his mind to leave the neighbor­hood of Chaudfontaine, when he ac­cidently met Mile. Halliere, a Swiss by birth, who was here enjoying at once the pleasures of society and the advantages derived from the admir­able waters of the place.

To those who have frequented watering-places it will be unnecessary to dilate upon the ease with which mere acquaintances grow into inti­macies. Thrown continually iu each other’s society, free from the re­straint of city life, admiring beauti­ful scenery together, the best of feel­ings of their nature expanding with the clenr blue sky above them, can we wonder at the circumstances or blame the young lancer for falling violently, passionately iu love with the fascinating Marie (le Halliere?

To account for this, to reason ou it, is unnecessary. Suffice it to say that Jules became desperately enam­ored of the lovely girl, aud in less than three weeks found his suit not only approved but his hand accept­ed.* Mile, de Halliere had no oue to consult; no kind, affectionate fath­er, uncle or guardian to thwart her wishes. An orphan for many years, living on a limited but independent patrimony, received, as she usserted, from a small estate left to her by her father, she did not hesitate to pro­nounce a full affirmative to the warm solicitations of our hero (for Jules was a hero) to become his bride.

During their courtship, if the pointed and lover-like attentions of a youth to a young lady during fif­teen days may be so called, there were many who strove their utmost to mar the match. A prudent dowa­ger, a marchioness without a single sou, her only riches consisting of six ugly daughters, had whispered her advice to the lancer to find out first “who and what the young lady was before he further compromised him­self.”

Another female—a rival belle, I believe—ingeniously hinted that“Mile. Halliere always wore high

gowns to hide the marks of a certain royal disorder, to cure which site had doubtless sought the spa.” Another, a rejected suitor, swore “she was a widow, and that her name was assum­ed.” lint Jules laughed at these re­marks, and only loved her the better for the envy she excited. It is true, he sometimes wished that she would speak of her past life in less am­biguous terms, and as frequently be determined to question her on it; but when they met that thought was forgotten, and, with truth and inno­cence beaming in her countenance,

1 the young soldier thought it would l ie blasphemy to doubt her.

The result need scarcely be told; the morning on which this sketch

| opens beheld Marie, the bride, the beautious bride, of the proud Jules who after partaking of a sumptuous breakfast given by him to a large party of congratulating friends, start­ed off iu high spirits for the chateau of his old uncle, situated near Bruges,

' determined to linger some few days ou the road, and thus enjoy, iu loving

! selfishness, the uninterrupted society j of her whose very life he felt himself to be.

At about 1*2 o’clock on the first day the young liewly-irtarried couple arrived at Burges, having hurried past the many objects of interest which presented themselves on their journey, in consequence of most ear-

j nest solicitations to join their good old relative, whose handsome seat was at no great distance from the capital of western Flanders. Here they halted at the principal hotel, in­tending after dinner to set out for the residence of their uncle. To save time and trouble they joined the table d'hote which here, as throughout

j Flanders, takes place at 1 o’clock. By the time, therefore, that the lady had performed those little “agremens de. toilette” incidental to an appear-

I ance before strangers, the great bell ! sounded, and as Jules banded down his lovely bride, the already loud clattering of forks and spoons be­spoke the fact that the substantial meal was already begun.

On entering the room they found about forty persons seated, all greedi­ly employed in devouring their soup, scarcely deigning to look toward the stritngers who came in. Iu Frauce, under similar circumstan­ces, a dozen gentlemen would have risen to offer their seats to the lady.

In Belgium, however, the case is different; and each honest burgher

1 eats his meal, scrambling both for the best seat and daintiest dish, without the slightest attention eith­er to rank or sex.

It wan an unfortunate eiroum- stauco for the loving pair to be di vided thus earley iu their honey­moon, but so on the present occa sion they were compelled to be. Two chairs saloue stood unoccupied, and these were far apart while, if pos­sible to make the separation more disagreeable, they happened to be on the same side of the table, so that not even an interchange of glances could take place, no word pass, save for the benefit of a few stupid inter­vening citizens, a benefit which nei­ther party was anxious to confer up­on them.

As strangers, therefore, they sat down to the table, consoling them­selves with the confident assurance that their separation could not con­tinue nbove an hour, and that then a thousand extra caresses might make up their lost portion of "love’s sweet interchangs.” Poor Jules, however, was too much enamored to set down philosophically and enjoy his meal with appetite. His eyes roved about him till they fixed, in some astonishment, to bis opposite neighbor, who, having coolly laid down his knife and fork, sat anxious­ly guzing at Marie. At first Jules thought it might be accident; some casual resemblance might have struck him; staring might be his habit, and the next minute his regard might fall upon another. But uo; his eyes remained riveted on “la belle Marie," and the bridegroom felt anything but comfortable.

Every man is jealous. I do not believe anyone who says he is not so; nor will I assert that some qualms of this kind did not arise in the breast of the lancer, who could not help supposing, from the contin­ued gaze of -his opposite neighbor, that he must have been a former friend, a flirt, a lover. The idea was distracting. Jules determined at once to put an end to his doubts; so, bending across the table, after some preliminary observation to his star­ing neighbor, he observed, with as much nonchalance as he could possi­bly muster:

“You appear to know the lady ?”"I think,” replied the other, in a

grave tone, “nay, I am sure I tlo ,” and then turned the subject.

This was anything but satisfactory

1 to the young soldier, for again theeyes of the stranger were fixed up­on his bride.

There is notLing more provoking than h limited unswer to a question by which we huve previously deter­mined to elicit a full explanation. There is nothing so painful as half- grounded suspicion. Jules fdiiud it intolerable, aud consequently press­ed his inqury.

“Are you quite certain you have seen this lady betore V"

i “As confident as that 1 now breathe. . 1 never forget a face I have once beheld. It is she, I am sure; I cannot be mistaken.”

“That’s very strange ! Where did you know her?” And tho question­er felt that his happiness depended on the answer.

“Thank God, I never knew h er!” quickly replied the stranger, with a shudder.

This was indeed a perplexing an­swer. The husband scarcely knew in what light to regard it. It is true it relieved him at once of all jealousy; but then, again, it implied a myste­ry, and from the stranger’s manner, evidently a dreapful one. What could is m ean! He determined to venture one more question.

“My question seems to call up some unpleasant recollection. Will you explain it?”

“If you particularly wish it, I will, although I confess I would rather drop the subject, At all events, I would not wish to do so while she is present.” ■

With this reply poor Jules was forced to remain content, though be felt that the rack itself would bring less torture than the agonies of sus- pence. Present.!}', to liis great re­lief, the well-satisfied party began to break up. One by one the plethoric burgers left the room; but Marie stirred not. Jules watched his op­portunity to give her, unseen, a sig­nal to retii'e. This she did; and iu less than a quarter of an hour more the lancer and the citizen alone re­mained.

“Now, then, sir,” said the former, abruptly turning round, “your prom­ised explanation.”

The stranger paused ere he re­plied, “I am perhaps wrong in thus satisfying the curiosity of one whom I never saw before, and more particu­larly so when I tell you that the an­ecdote I am about to relate involves most deeply the character of the un­happy female who has just left the table.”

The stroke of death would have been less agonizing than such an answer. Jules’ brain seemed to burn like molten lead. He could scarcely repress his agitation as be askod, with an almost sardonic sneer, “You were, perhaps, that lady’s lover ?”

“God forb.d!” solemnly ejaculated the burgher. “My tale is not of love. But as you seem interested, I will give it you in a few words. I had a very dear friend in Victor Rossoert. From youth brought up together, our mutual confidence was unbound­ed. Unfortunately, Victor found it necessary, for the arrangement of some mercantile affairs, to visit Ge­neva. Here, it appears, he met a merchant’s daughter,Adelaide Moran whose charming manners and lovely appearance soon won the heart of the enthusiastic voung man, and he wrote to me in all the triumph of au accepted lover.”

“I cannot really see what this has to do with the lady who was here just now,” impatiently interrupted Jules.

“It lias everything to do with her. JLiisten and you will agree with me. Victor, by a mere accident arising out of the jealousy of one of the la­dy’s former suitors, learned that she whom he thought so innocent, so good, had, long ere she had seen my friend, forfeited her reputation. There was madness in the thought, despair in future life, but honor de­manded the sacrifice; and the bro­ken-hearted young man, in a letter addressed to her whom he could not but still love declared his knowledge of her guilt and his resolution never again to see her. This letter written, he instantly started* off to join his friends at Dijon. To this spot she followed him, and having vainly for some weeks supplicated, urged and threatened him, with a view of mak­ing him marry hcifc she seemed sud­denly to relinquish her purpose, and entreated but to be his fnned. As such for several weeks she visited him. His health gradually deolined. In vain she tried to cheer him. He hourly sank; and, feeling death fast sinking on him, he wrote me. I started off soon after the receipt of his letter; but it was, alas, too late. When I arrived my much -beloved friend had been consigned to his tomb but not before a post-mortem exam­ination had taken place, from which it appeared he died from a slow,

subtle poison. Suspicion immedi­ately fell on Adolade Moran; she was seized and interrogated, but she wotild neither confess or deny. Cir­cumstances were scarcely sufficiently strong to justify a trial for murder. She was therefore brought before the court for the minor offense, namely, that of forging a vJ®l, by which it wonld appear lie loft'her all Ilia property. On this charge she was tried and convicted, Mittigating circumstances, however, were urged to save her from the galleys; and she was only condemned to stand in the pillory, and he branded on the right shoulder. This sentence was to be carried into effect the very morning of my arrival at Dijon, im ­pressed with horror, I attended near tho scaffold. The lovely but wicked woman was brought forth. Never can 1 forget that sorrowful face. Deeply imprinted ou my ip^uupiy, it can never be effaced. Judge, then, my surprise when I beheld Unit very woman, that identical female, the person who destroyed my friend, this day seated in yonder enair!”

Jules started up. His eyes dilat­ed with horror; he approached the narrator, “You are mistaken by an accident likeness; that lady’s name is not Moran, nor Adolade. Say you are mistaken,or the consequences may be dreadful.”

“ By the high heavens above, I speak the truth. But why this agi­tation ?’’

“Stay, stay but five minutes, and you shall learn the cause.”

And Jules Duvivier rushed from the room, leaving the worthy citi­zen to wonder at the interest he took in one certainly very beautiful but depraved. The time mentioned by the anxious bridegroom had nearly elapsed, when the communicative citizen was summoned to the apart­ment of the soldier. Unhesitatingly he obeyed the summons, and enter­ed with cool indifference into tho saloon, where he found the now almost convulsed youth, who pointed to a chair; then advancing to the door instantly locked it and placed the key in his pocket. Such strange conduct naturally made the burgher look about him. On the table lay some objects covered with a handkerchief; a sheet of recently written paper, and other things of minor importance. A door opposite led from the saloon apparently.to an inner bed-room; but this was closed. There was nothing, therefore, save the strange manner of the occupant to astonish or alarm the visitor.

For a moment Jules seemed to collect his coolness, then calmly spoke, at the same time lifting up the handkerchief and discovering be­neath a pair of richly mounted pis­tols.

“Sir, you have now entered on your death scene or mine. The per­son of whom you spoke to-day is my wife. If you have dared to assert a falsehood to me; if you have assailed aninnocent name with foul dishonor, by all the powers of heayeu you die, and that without further shift. If” —and the young man’s voice became almost dreadful to listen to—“if, I say, you have spoke tho truth, I pledge you my salvation you are safe. Speak not; answer me not. A moment more, and herself decides the fact.”

Thus saying Duvivier walked to the inner door, opened it, and led forth his bride, who seemed much surprised at the abrupt manner of her husband.

“Madam, I desire you instantly to strip off all covering from your shoul­ders.”

The poor girl, thus takeu by sur­prise, perhaps conscious of. her guilt, perhaps overcome by modest scru­ples, unwilling thus to unrobe before a stranger, astonished at the harsh­ness of him who only a few hours be­fore had sworn eternal love to her, hesitated and attempted to remon­strate.

“Nay, I insist! No words, I say !” almost shouted Jules.

“I beseech you, what does this con­duct mean? Nay, on my knees.”

“Do you then shrink ? I will prove or falsify the damned suspicion.” He flew upon her within tiger-like avidity, and tore off her upper gar­ments till her shoulders were with­out covering.

One glance was sufficient.Plain and palpable the horrid

brand appeared confessed. The ex­ecutioners iron had seared the mar­ble flesh, and left Ike damning remi­niscence of the harrowing crime for­ever behind.

Jules now summoned all his forti­tude. He took out the key and threw it to the merchant.

“B egon e! lest madness make m e elose your lips forever. It were bet­ter, perhaps, to prevent their repeat­ing this tale o f flbame and dishonor.

But no; I have pledged myself to let you go unharmed, and I wifi not break my word. G o ! unless you wish to see ype do a and cruel justigei*' r

% hastily, rushedroom. n ^stairs to summon aid* He haded the last step when he heard the report of a pistol, before he could call assistance u second weapon was discharged, and a heavy fall shook the stair on which he stood. At once lie was surrounded by a crowd of in­quisitive persons, desirous to learn the meaning of theso sounds..'’By sounds alone lie could reply. They therefore one and all rushed up, forced opeu the door, and there, in­deed, beheld a sight of horror. Duvivier had shot his wife through the heart. Her warm blood flowed from her breast. Pity could not re­fuse a tear, however guilty the vic­tim might have been. Not so the destroyer, he had placed t lie pistol in liis mouth, and had blown away the upper part of liis head. Horror and disgust overcame the beholder as ho looked upon the dreadfully dis­figured remains of tho stern execu­tioner of the woman lie had loved so well.

Such is the brief story of those whose real names have been con­cealed. Tho poor man who by an unguarded observation caused the dreadful catastrophe has never since held up his head. Wliat makes the story more distressing is that circumstances have since come to light which have proved that Victor destroyed himself in consequence of remorse at having unjustly sus­pected Adelaide Moran, who conse­quently died innocent of all crime, after undergoing the most dreadful degredation; her only fault having been a want of candor toward her husband, a concealment toward one who should have shared her every thought. Such concealments, I have often remarked, have brought yeurs of misery to those who have foolish­ly persisted in them.

The Muggins Family.Silvester Muggins and family have

just left for Yeurupp, in the Cuuard Line. The recent rise in clieeze so inflanted Muggins and hiz pocket- book that it wu8 wuss than madness to stay on this side ov the Atlantik osliun enny longer. He took all hiz liye traps with him, which konsisted ov hiz only wife, two dauters, his on­ly son Ruben, and a sore-eyed lap dog, bought for the trip. They took a fustklass chance on the steamer, $ 1 0 0 in gold each, lap dog thrown tn. He will make tower ov Yeurupp, so he said before he started, and see Naples, if it kills him and tho rest ov the family. Silvester Muggins, and family, have stuck to the cheeze biz- ziness for 34 years, and have never been from home before, but having studied the gide books very cluss lately, they kno more about Yeurupp, then they do about their natiff land. The two dauters will come bak 3 years from now and hav 18 nu silk dresses each, and talk a few words of French, and Jerman, and the whole family will have forgot their nabors, and almost their natiff tounge. Ruben Muggins, the son, wont kno mutch ov ennytliing, but this waz alwuss natural to him. • Old Muggins himself, dont expekt to polish much, he iz too cheezy. The old woman will make hash ov things awfully when she gits back; she will tell her nabors all about the leaning tower ov Copenhagen, the Pautlieen ov Paris, and the bridge of sighs at Dublin, and every now and then will risk a French, or Jerman phraze, that will be decidedly cheezy. The Muggins never ought to hav gone to Yeurupn at all, they were industri­ous, and respektable enuff at home, in the cheeze bizziness; they will cum bak, simply disgusting.—JW i Bil­ling*.

A Gentlemanly Man.A quiet and gentlemanly farmer, a

man respected among his neighbors among whom he had lived for two years, while plowing in his field last week, at Shreveport, La., was set up-, on by a Sheriff and posse and at once secured. He was unarmed, and had no possible chance of escape. He said: “Gentlemen, I know what you want. I am the man.” The reason why he guessed so readily was, as he immediately confessed, because he had killed thirty-two men at differ­ent times in Texas. He said he came near killing another man the day be­fore he was arrested, and he was sor­ry he hadn’t, as it would have saved him from capture. After he was de- lived to the Texas Sheriff he invited the Louisiana official and his posse to come and see him hanged. They said they would be very happy to do so.— Exchange.

Bon of mine! the world before you Hpread* ft thousand aeeret snai««

Round the foot of every mortal Who through life’a long hlghw*y fare*.

Three especial let m« warn you,Are by every traveler met;

Three to Ur* tout might of virtue - They are Love, and Drink and Debt.

Love, my boy, there'* no escaping,Ti» tb» common fate of men ;

Father had i t ; I have had it—Hut for love you had not been.

Take your chance* but be cautious ;Know a *quab i* not a dove ;

Be the upright man of honor ;All deceit doth murder love.

As for drink avoid it wholly;> Like an adder it will sting ;

Crush th* earliest temptation,. flattHo pot_th# dahgr roUH thing.•ee the wreck of men around us—

Once a* fair and puro a* you—Mark the warning ! Shun the pathway

And the hell they're tottering through.

Yet, though love ho pure a u d gentle,And from drink you may he free,

With a yearning heart I warn von 'Gainst the worst of all the three.

Many a demon in his Journey Bunyan'a Christian Pilgrim met;

They were lambs, e'en old Apollyon,To the awful demon Debt!

With quaking heart and face abashed The wretched debtor goea ;

He starts at shadows, lest they be The shadows of men he' owes.

Down silent street* he furtive steals.The race of man to shun,

He shivers at the postman's ring,And fears the dreadful dun.

Beware of debt! Once in, you’ll be A slave forevermore;

If credit tempt you, thundor “No!”And show it to the door.

Cold water and a crust of broad May be the best you’ll got; ,

Accept them like a man, and swear—‘Til never run in debt 1"

PLANTED.

You would'ut have believed that such n rough-looking old chap could read at all, but after the train left St. Jo he pulled a St. Louis paper from his pocket, settled back in his Beat, and for half an hour he was busy with the news. All of a sudden he threw the paper down, uttered a wicked oath and, reaching forward, hd touched a fellow passenger on the shoulder and blurt­ed out:

“They are fools, sir, cussed fools!” “Who?” asked the astonished traveler. “Why, them newspaper men! Blast their

eyes! Can’t they takea hint without a kick ?” “What do you mean 7”He picked up the paper and pointed out

a paragraph, which read that old Bender, tb* Kansas murderer, had been soeu in Mary­land, and then growled out:

“I’ll give $10,000 to any man who ever gits eyes on old Bender, or any o' the rest of that fam'ly !”

“What do you kuow about the Benders?" asked the traveler, greatly interested all at once.

Tha old man chuckled as if greatly pleased but after a moment bis face grew serious and steru. Leaning over to get closer to the traveler, he whispered:

“I knew every' one a the devils, from the •Id nan down ! God never made a wtiss lo t! I lived up in Kansas within twenty miles o’ their private burying ground !”

“You did ?”“I did, and I’ve eaten more'n one dinner

in the room where they used to shoot their victims from behind a curtain ! Sometimes, when I git to thinking of me sitting at the table in that little room, and old Bender behind the curtain, not twelve feet away, ready to put a bullet through my head, why, air, the cold chills go over mo till it's like having a shake of the ager !”

“But he spared you ?"“So ho did, and I never could guess why,

'cept that there are five brothers of us, aud he might have argued that the other boys would make a sharp hunt if I was missing. Travelers who didn’t wear any better clothes nor I do, and who didn’t seem to carry nny more money, halted at the Devil's Hotel for dinner, and were murdered, robbed, and put under ground in less'n an hour !”

“Was there nothing suspicious about tho house itself—nothing iu the looks or aotions of the family to put the traveler on his guard?” asked the passenger.

"Yes, there was, and then agin’ there wasn’t. It was a lone house, with no neigh­bors to spy and meddle; but it was a handy place for one to stop and git dinnor. I reck­on that a hungry man, riding a tired horse, don’t be suspecting as much as a detective would. Old Bender wasn’t purty, but he’d pass muster as well as a thousand others out this way. The only mean thing about him was the way he got round. Ho didn’t pick up his feet like a man, but sort o’ slid here and there like a cat He didn't look ye in the face if he could get rid of it, but looked over beyond ye. Still, I’ve seen honest men.do the same way." .

“And thaihers?”“Well; less-see. 5there was the old man,

then theta Was an old she-devil around there who was alius knitting stockings and singing religious songs. She was fifty years old or more, and was probably his wife. Then there was a woman about thir­ty years old called Kate. She wasn't good lookthg nor bad looking, and nobody could have told what a bloodv heart she had. The papers said that she was Bender’s daughter, but I don’t believe it. Tho pa­pers hadn’t as many ways of finding out as I had. Some o’ them never mentioned the old woman nt all, and yet she was right ■fcoxe all tho time. Then there was one or two ohftps hanging around there moat o’ tho titne.- One o’them passed for Kate’s hus­band, hut I don’t believe they were ever married. I think the pair had laid in with the old man to open the tavern, help do the running of it and the murdering, and take half the profits. They were a reg’lar gang o' horse thieves, robbers and murder­ers, and nobody will ever know what rela­tion they were to each other.”

“The papers had an awful story to tell when it came out,” said the traveler.

“Sp they had, but they didn’t tell it bad enough. Thdso’ pale-faced chaps with lead pencils over their ears didn t get around here to see the worst of it. I tell you, sir, there never was Buoh a gang of cutthroats iu this country. They had been killing away, and killing away for years. Leastwise, •omS of the bodies had almost gone to dust, and it takes time tor that. When a man .came along there who looked to have mon-

#y they popped him over, no matter w^eth- j er he was a stranger or lived only a dozen i miles away. The bodies were buried down cellar and arouud the house, aud I 'sped that wo didn’t find half 'o them. Wien they first com uenced killing they probably took the corpus further away to bury 'em, •ml were more careful to cover up all signs. I’ll give my word that the gang put over tweuty travelers out o’ the way.”

"And what finally aroused suspicion against them?”

’ “Well, several things. The chap who j passed for Kate's husband had too many ! horses to sell. They got reoklesa aud left ! revolvers, riding boots, fancy overcoats, and | other such things in sight. Then Senator j Anthony’s brother was murdered there, and ! the crowd who was on the hunt for hiru tracked him to old Bender’s to a dead cer­tainty. The old man stood up as bold as a lion, and even asked them to search the house. If they hadn't been blurted they would have found two corpses iu five min­utes search. I wasn’t with that party, but I was with a second, aud we got around there that night. The Benders had taken the alarm and made tracks.”

“Isn't it curious that the family could have escaped the country, when hundreds of men were on the lookout for them?” ob­served the traveler.

“Wall, yes,” slowly replied the strange old man.

“And how do you account for it?”He chuckled and looked out of the win­

dow. There was an interval of three or four minutes during which he chewed at his tobacco. Finally he said:

“They wont find old Bender in Maryland, nor in Mexico, nor any where else on top the earth, and they needn’t to look for any o’ the rest o’ the gang.”

“Are they dead ?”“Purty likely they are, stranger ! When

you see any more newspaper items about any of the Benders turning up, you jest ax yourself if corpses can turn up aud walk around!”

“When you and the others discovered that the family had fled, what did you do ?” asked the traveler, hoping to draw the old man’s secret.

“Sat right down and sucked our thumbs, of course !” ho chuckled. “That’s what we did; but some of tlm rest had more pluck. They started out on as plaiu a trail as they wanted to foller, aud before sundown there wasn’t any further use of any body hunting for the Benders.”

“Why?”“Why? What’s the use o' looking for

anybody after they have been shot full of holes and planted ? I reckon that the old woman quit knitting and singing religious songsjeH about daylight! 'Bout that time, also, that she-devil Kate aud that hoss thief of a husband pulled hair and called each hard names for the last time. The stranger who was with the family might have been a hoss thief, a preaoher, or an angel, but I guess our boys didn’t wait to ask many questions.”

“Aud old Bender himself?”“I guess he didn’t get away, stranger ! I

guess there are meu in Kansas who could dig up what’s left o’ him without much trouble ! Law is good enough in some cases, but in other cases it is 'bout as well to plaut a fam’ly in sandy sile and not have any fooling around!”

“And that’s the reason the Bonders have not been discovered?”

“Purty much the reason, I reckon, though folks can keep on looking if they want to !” —Sew York Sun.

The Blessings of Baldness.

lScythians, who herded with their mares, were examples of barbarism and long hair. Nothing so much surprises the untutored savage of America in an encounter with the white man, as the discovery, when he draws his scalping-knife, that there is no hair by which to lift his trophy of victory. Bald­ness is not Inown to barbarism. It is a token rather that men have departed from the in­fancy of races and individuals.

How many of the world's great men have been os bald os the dome of Mont Blanc ? The old Hebrew prophet, who commanded the l>eura to come up and devour the chil­dren of derision, knew the virtue of bald­ness and the veneration due to it. He lived among a semi-barbarous people, who had mistaken notions about the absence of hair, but he gave them an awful example of the consequences of deriding it. and they seem to have profited by i t The statues and busts of the philosophers and orators, the poets aud statesmen of the best periods of Greek and Roman history, Hhow a majority of them to have been wholly or partially bald. Julius Cassar himself wus ns bald as • whetstone, and the Antonines were not afflicted with much hair. Indeed, from Adam himself down to the Adams family, which is in the line of presidents of the nineteenth century, intellectual force and smooth skulls are physiological concur­rents.

There are no concealments about a bald head. You measure it as readily as you do au open countenance. It resembles the naked truth, and there is an houesty about it, a solidity of dimensions, a modulation and undulation of surface, and a positive and impressive character that makes it an object of profound abmiratlon to the sculp­tor aud architect. The barber may sham­poo and polish it, but he cannot mar its fair proportions. None of his artistic whims and caprices can be expended upon it. There it stands, smooth as an apple, massive as a dome, substantial as a rock, and written all over with the evidence of cool reasoning aud highest thought. Con­sidered from a proper point of view, the wonder is that civilized man does not rather rejoice in baldness as a token of greater development than seek to hide it as an in­firmity of nnture.

Baldness, too, has its practical advan­tages. But for his long hair, Absalom might have routed the hosts of Joab, aud sat in the seat of his royal father. The cavaliers of King Charles’ time cultivated long hair, but they were no match for the short crops of Old Ironsides, who, if not bald, simulated it, and in so far indicated political and social advancement in civili­zation. In the narratives of executions by the axe and the sword, there is in nearly every instance some preliminary account of the catting and clipping of hair. It is rare in history that we hear of a bald-headed man being executed, and who ever heard of one being hung? Baldness indicates wis­dom, coolness, deliberation, thought, and development of the high mornl and intel­lectual qualities, which phrenology locates in the top of the head. The tonsure of the priesthood in the Catholic church shows the ecclesiastical appreciation of the value of baldness as an aid to spiritual and intel­lectual expansion.

All those and many other considerations which will suggest themselves to the reader should lead him to exclaim, “ Rejoice, young man, when the days of thy youth are over, and wisdom seals thy crown with the seal of nakednoss. Rejoice iu it as a man­darin in Ihh cap of three buttons, and be happy that the hairs of thy head have been numbered and no longer trouble thee.” Blessed are the bald-headed. — Cincinnati Commercial.

When a mau makes the appalling discov­ery that his crown-piece is gradually assum­ing the aspect of the renowned Uncle Edward’s, he gives undivided attention at his morning toilet to the disposition of his scant “ knotted and combined locks.” The ingenuity by which they are manipulated so as to conceal the area of hopeless aridity and the retreat of hirsute vegetation below the snow-line, is often more artistic than the elaborations of a professional hrfir-dress- er when summoned to assist in the decora­tion of a bride.

It is said, but we do not know with what truth, that unmarried men make this dis­covery at a later day than those who have added doinestiq to the other duties and joys of life; but this must be because the latter roalize the prayer of Burns, and are able to seo themselves as others see them. It is not unnatural that a wife who is assured by a watchful husband that gray hairs have made their appearance among her shining tresses, should mark with secret satisfaction the In­creased but no longer remunerative applica­tion of strange stimulating and restorative compounds to the lid of his vanity-box, and discern in the increasing quantity of ma­terial supplied each day for the interior of elastic pin-cushions, an assurance of the inevitable hour when a small and lustrous disk, perhaps, of no larger diameter than a brass button, shall appear upon his crown, the glistening centre of an ever-enlarging American desert!

A discovery of this importance is at onoe trumpeted to the household and communi­cated to such near and dear friends as it may bo safe to intrust with so rare a delica­cy. The poor man may hide tho work of the pruning-knife of time from his business friends and acquaintances, and even suc­cessfully conceal it from those who go in aud out of the sanctuary with him, but to his family the portentious fact of baldness can not be hidden by any device of tonsori- al art. The bachelor, having no monitor but his looking-glass, and seeing only the front of his umbrageous crest, may go ou for yStirs tts unconscious that he is cultiva­ting a space of cleared land as Uncle Sam is of loss of timber on the public domain. But when, in fumbling around with comb and brush, ho perceives that there is a space over which the brush passes with indifference, whether its back or bristle be applied, ho, too, accepts the fact, and seeks, like his married fellow, to give as littlp conspicuity to it as his diminishing reve­nues will allow. i >■

But people who ore reluctant to oonfes* their baldness, and indulge in the illusion? excited by hair-restorative advertisements, do not consider the subject philosophically. It is Thackeray who tells the little poge that “ curly gold locks cover foolish brains.’- Luxuriant growths of hair are indicative of childhood and savagery. Baldness is a sigq of civilization. The Egyptians, with whom historic civilization commenced, shaved their heads that thoy might' ho bald. The

R o b e r t D a l e O w e n 's M a r r i a g e .

The story of Mr. Owen’s marriage is a re­markable one. His wife's maiden name was Mary Jane Robinson. They were mar­ried in New York, April 12, 1832. No one performed any ceremony; simply a con­tract was drawn up by Mr. Owen, which Miss Robinson and he both signed in the presence of friends andfl witnesses. It said:

We contract a legal marriage, not because we deem the ceremony necessary to us, or useful in a rational state of public opinion to society, but because if we became com­panions without a legal ceremony, we should either be compelled to a series of dissimulations which wo both dislike, or be perpetually exposed to annoyances origina­ting in a public opinion which is powerful, though unenlightened, and whose power, though wo do not fear or respect it, we do not perceive the utility of unnecessarily braving. We desire a tranquil life in so far as it can be obtained without a sacrifice of principle. . . . The ceromony, too, in­volves not the necessity of making promises regarding that over which we have no con­trol—the state of human affections in the distant future; nor of repeating forms which we deem offensive, inasmuch as they outrage the principles of human liberty and equality by conferring rights and imposing duties unequally ou the sexes. . . . Of the un­just rights which, in virtue of this ceremony and iniquitous law tactics gives me over the person and property of another, I cannot legally, but I can morally, divest myself. And I hereby distinctly and emphatically declare that I consider myself, and earnest­ly desire to be considered by others, as ut­terly divested, now and daring the rest of life, of any such rights, the barbarions rel­ies of a feudal aud dispotio system, soon destined, iu the ouward course of improve­ment, to be wholly swept away, and the ex­istence of which is a tacit insult to the good sense and good feeling of the present com­paratively civilized age.

This conveuont was kept with religious fnlelty until the last. Mrs. Owen died iu August, 1871. “All grief which convulsed the features," says Buskin, “is ignoble.” Robert Dale Owen, who had deeply loved Mb wife for forty years, had the heart to con­duct the funeral services at her gravo. Ha said on this occasion!

An individual well known in London by tho name of “Memory-Corner Thompson,’’ was remarkable for an astonishing local memory. Iu the space of twenty-four hours and at two sittings he drew from memory a correct plan of the whole parish of St. James. This plan contained all the squares,streets, lanes, courts,passages, mar­kets, churches, chapels, houses, stable*^ an­gels of houses, and a great number of oth­er objects, as walls, parapets, stones, trees, etc., and an exact plan of Carlton House and St. James Palace. He made out also au exact plan of the parish of St. Andrew, and offered to do the same with that of St. Giler, St. Paul, Convent Garden, St. Clem­ent aud Newchurch.

If a particular house in any given street was mentioned, he would tell at once what trade was carried on in it, the position and appearance of the shop and its contents. Iu going through a large hotel, completely furnished, he was able to retain everything and make on inventory from memory. HeEossessed a most mechanical memory, and

e could, by reading a newspaper over night, repeat the whole of it next morning. Ho died in February, 1813, at the age of 86. Mr. Paxton Hood knew a man in London who could repeat the whole of Josephus; and William Lyon, like Thompson, could read the Daily Advertiser overy night aud repeat it word for word the next morning.

Mithridates, King of Poutus, had an em­pire in which two-and-twenty languages were spoken; yet it is asserted that he had not a subject with whom he could not con­verse in his own dialect. But iu later times the royal linguist has been eclipsed by the late Cardinal Mezzofanti, who died iu 1845*. He had » wonderful memory for the reten­tion of words, aud with a gramatical intui­tion which has never been properly ex­plained. He went on acquiring' languages till, at the age of 70, he could converse in upwards of fifty, besides having an ac­quaintance with at least twenty mero.

He was at home iu both of the dialects of the Basque language, the most difficult in Europe; also, iu the different dialects of German; with Englishmen he never mis­applied the sign of a tens*. Besides the foregoing, he was so far master of at least one Chinese dialect that he delivered a set speech to Chinese students at the Vatican. So conversant was he with all the dialects of each tongue that he could at once detect the particular country, proviuce or district to wliicli the speaker belonged.

He himself was upon several occasions mistaken for a native of totally different countries. According to hi* own words, as related to his friend Cardinal Wiseman, his method of studying a new language was to read straight through the grammer, and when he had arrived at the end he was mas­ter of the whole. He never forgot any­thing he once heard or read. — < /lumber's 'fournal.

The grain-king of the Pacific, if uot oT the United States, is Isaac Frielander, of this city. He is of Hebrew parentage, a gaunt, awkward, plain-looking man,of slash­ing gait, and one whose form towers above all others iu the street. He is nearly seven feet in height, and is about 55 years of age, I should judge. He is the pioneer in the buying and shipping of grain and produce from California to foreign ports. For near­ly twenty years he has been iu the business. Year after year he has paid hundreds and hundreds of thousands of dollars for wheat. He has annually shipped three-quarters of the wheat crop of this State to England. His business is conducted ou the most co­lossal scale. Several times he has met with reverses, buthe has quickly got upon his feet again. JPfew weeks ago, owing to the financial depression and stringency in the inouoy market, he went under. His liabil­ities were two millions of dollars. With the advance in wheat he has been able to compromise with his creditors at tweny- five cents on tho dollar, and has so far re­covered from his temporary embarrasment as to be able to resume business. He is a- mau of great business oapneity and sagac­ity. In his stupendous operations he con­trols the freight market, and gives employ­ment to an immense fleet of ships.—>San Francisco Cor.

—A special car, filled with Chicago aud Alton high joints, left Chicago on Monday for the summer trip of inspection over the branches of the road. A thorough survey, lastiug about a week, will be made. Presi- deut lllackstono, General Huperintendent MoMullin, and a number of the directors are aboard. A decisiou on the matter of building a broad-gauge branch to tho Mis­sissippi river via Wvoming and Galesburg, and terminating nt Burlington and Keokuk, is anticipated on the return of the inspec­tors. Tno building of this important feeder of Chicago, and of the Alton and S i Louis rood, would seem a foregone conclusion.

The bite of a mad dog is properly dread­ed. If it occurs, rub for ten seconds a pointed stick of the nitrate of silver into the wound. It acts as a caustic and neutrali­zes the poison. This is said to lie an infal­lible reined It should be done at once. The dog manifests the disease—hydropho­bia—by a pecbliar brilliancy and wildness of its eyes, and then it soon froths at the mouth an<\Ynaps at any object near it, has spasms about the throat, and dreads fluid It is alarmed at objects unseen bs others. A cat may go mad and make a wound as severe as a dog, and should be treated the same way. The bite of an animal qot mad is severe ami often dangerous. It is usual­ly a lacerative wound—a torn wound, that is longer in healing thau others, and very apt to cause lockjaw The nitrate of sil­ver neutralizes the poison; even if the ani­mal is not rabid its bites and its scratches produce bad wounds, A fi lend of four­score years was bitten by his own cat, seem ingly for the fun of it: but it cost the voner- able man the paralysis of the bitten hand ever after. If a child be bitten, send for your M. D. who may treat.

The scratches of an animal demand the same attention aa do biles—warm poul­tices, or wry warm water Fomentation in some form soothes and quiets, and inclines the blood, that otherwise might stop at the scene of the disaster to pass on iu its wont­ed course.

Bees sting on provocation, or, possibly, iu self-defense. The hornet’s sting is said to penetrate deeper and deposit a more vir ulent poison than any other But in all hees the minute amount of fluid deposited in the areolar tissue is very acid and poison­ous, and should be neutralized at once. Ex­tract tlie sting by forceps or tweezers, ap­ply, can de cologne, alcohol, or aqua am­monia, or strong soap. If the wound swells apply a hot white poultice, or a sponge sat­urated with suds. Examine peaches ori # 1other fruit, lest a bee be concealed within it and ultimately sting the throat For the

j biles of bugs, fleas, gnats or iilosquitoes, apply can de cologne or camphor water so as to convert the itching into a slight smart­ing, or apply fresh lard or olive oil.

The usual application is the water of am nionia If the insect stings or bites the vi­cinity of the eyes or the lips or the inner mouth, apply the water of ammonia by­way of a camel’s hair brush. Should swell­ing occur apply a white bread of oat meal poultice, sprinkled with soda Onion or tomato jpice are said to be useful. It is to keep the wounded person as quiet as

“How much?”“A two dollar tax, that is, too-dolorous
