I V .Truth Stranger Than Fiction.- Souie five years ago a wan named .Mills moved from the South to Brooklyn, New York, fcnd shortly after, becoming sud denlj enraged, struck his wife on the head with a bottle. She was in bed at the time, and in the morning .she was found there dead. Mills was arrested, tried, convicted of manslaughter, and sent to the Penitentiary the principal witness against him being a lady resid ing in the same .house. When Mills was released he returned to Brooklyn, sought out the maiden, who was still fancy free, courted her assiduously, and in time the two were married. Mills is now again under arrest for the probable murder of his wife, he having stabbed her in the breast with a knife. This is a remarkable case. The story, as Shaks peare presents it, of the successful wooing by Richard of the widow of the brother he had murdered, is regarded as the Strong presentation of an unnatural and improbable case ; but here is one of even stranger circumstances. In that case Richard was King, and a living King might be supposed to make an average woman of the period forget a dead hus band. But in the Brooklyn case the man was nothing but an ill-grained, intemper ate graduate of the Penitentiary, who lor no cause but pure cruelty struck his wife, and left her to die alone. The woman, who was aware of this, whose sympathy for her sex induced her to follow this man with the sword of jus- tice until he was safely locked within the prison walls, could not have been deceiv ed. She knew, and he admitted, that he had killed his wife, killed her without cause, or even a pretended cause. Yet . she married him. She went to his bed knowing that he there had killed his for mer wife. -Who can explain the mental process by which the natural horror of the woman for the wife-murderer was changed into that of confidinsr, affection ate and an admiring wife ? The papers state that she " is an estimable woman." So she may be; and Mills evidently thought that a woman who had witness ed the foul murder of a wife, and then 'married the murderer, was entirely too , estimable for this life, and should be translated to another. 1. Ten Commandments. The Ten Commandments adopted by the " craft," and expected to be followed : Enter softly. Sit down quietly. 3.' Subscribe for the paper. . 4. Don't touch the poker. , 5. Engage in no controversy. 6. Don't smoke. 7. Keep six feet from the table. 8. Don't talk to the printer. 9. Hands off the paper. 10. Eyes off copy. Gentlemen observing these rules when entering our printing office will greatly oblige the printers, and need not fear the devil. The ladies, who sometimes bless us with their presence for a few moments, are not expected to observe the rules very strictly; and, indeed, it will be agreeable to us to have them break the eighth as often as convenient. John B., of this city, is a most invet erate smoker ; in fact, John has been known to go to sleep smokin-r, and hare his pipe taken from his mouth without waking him. One day last week Uncle C. found a pipe, which he supposed to be John's and the old gentleman having .known him from the time when the memory of that much-respected individ ual, "the oldest inhabitant," runneth not back to, made a straight break for John s house, and seeing Mrs B., asked : "Is John dead?" "John dead!" exclaimed Mrs. B. "Why no. What in the world made you think so, Mr. C?" "Why, I found his pipe, and it was cold." Uncle C. dodged the broom-stick and will not be seen in that section again for ' some time. Knoxeille Press and Herald. ? A Strange but True Story. The . Newark Courier Bays : By the arrest of I chicken theives on the canal boat, as re ported yesterday, has been made public a 1 most remarkable fact, which would scarce ly be credited, were it not that a well known citizen substantiated the statement id the police court. Having found the chickens the policeman looked about for their owners. A man named Pierson, who lost eighteen chickens, stated that the thief also attempted to drive off a heifer from his premises, but as the ani mal did not move fast enough, he seized a stone and struck the animal, breaking : one of its legs. The next day the ani mal gave birth to a calf bearing the feat ures, eyes, etc., of a negro. Strangely enough the theif was a negro. J Sensible. Non-paying subscribers are thus talked of by a Western editor, who expresses our sentiments fully : " Wagons cannot run without wheels, boats cannot run without steam, bullfrogs can 'not jump without legs, or a newspaper carried on everlastingly without money, no more than a dog can wag his tail when he has none.

Wonder of Creation The whole universe is a thought and that thought is the thought of God The foundation of all things is intelligent force auJ gooJness; these are found act ing in every department of nature, in the rocks, fluids, gases, animated bodies and everything that has being. The same expression exists everywhere, and we are therefore obliged to acknowledge a .Law giver a design, hence a designer. It we examine the crystal, we find it is the result of force. We may destroy . its organization, but can never destroy the force that gave it that organization. The world invisible is the most substantial of all. We can continue to take up plants. The seed always proclaims the treo and the fruit; even the leaves conform to the impress of the original seed. No seed will transfer its fruit to another kind ; each bears fruit after its own. The pear tree do not grow from the seed of tho apple, nor is the gosling hatched from the crow's egg. . The microscope discovers matters until it dwindles almost to nothing; and we find utility in everything. All this is not the result of chance, but shows a beau tiful Lawgiver. Force is the only sub stantial thing found in psture. It lies in its fossil state in the coal. - When coal is put in the furnace of the engine, it generates steam, but its only tho force of the sunshiue which came from heaven millions of years ago. ,The same is the case with gas ; it is the same light which was absorbed ages ago. By the power of chemistry we extract and use it again. Force and matter can never be destroyed. In force we find the infinite power and goodness of the Almighty. On the leaf of the maple we find the buds are exactly opposite each other;' and so in pears, one above the other along the entire tem. In others they differ in going round the stem once, twice, thrice, and so on up, which will be illustrated by numbers. We fiod this same plan in the solar system, which is formed of plauets placed in the same manner as the leaves on the trees. lie who placed tho leaves also cause the planets to revolve. They are held by the cohesive and centrifugal force, which is found every where. The force which organizes our own bodies is imponderable and invisible, surrounded by matter. ' The sun is a mass of matter in a high expanded condition. Sometimes the spots on the surface go out and after a while reappear. These spots are breaks in the volume of gas surrounding it. Some of them are so large that three worldslike ours could pass abreast through them, and yet leave 34,000 miles to spare. Our sunshine is caused by the reflec tion of the heat of the gas around the sun. There is no doubt but what the sun is a mass of liquid fire. The time will come when it will burn out, and then our solar system will also go out. The fixed stars are other suns constantly in motion, which move through space as we do. The crust of the earth was made by liquid cooling, and, strange as it may seem, the highest mountains are the new est. Tho Himalaya Mountains are a good example. -:Break-Xeck Insurance Co. Ev erybody should get insured against acci dents. No matter if you belong to one of the "best of families," accidents will happen. Get out a policy. The old proverb says, "Honesty is the best policy," but that was before accident insurance com panies started. Now the best policy is a policy in the "Break-neck." The other day a man in Chicago fell out of a fourth story window. He had no insurance, and consequently was killed. Another man ou the same day Jell out with his wife. He was" insured in the "Break-neck," and is ready to fall out am. A woman driving a spirited horse in St. Louis was run away with. Being in sured against accidents, she wasn't alarmed a bit, stopped the horse and came back safe. Her policy running out, she neg lected to renew it. Shortly after she was run away - with again. Her husband's partner ran away with her this time, and she hasn't come back yet. Don't fail to renew your policy, particularly it it is in the "Break-neck. ' At Dubuqe, Iowa, a man was kicked by a horse. The horse wasn't insured, and he got kicked back. rear Paris, Ky., a man, while engaged in running a circular saw, naa nis arms taken off. They consisted of a cavalry sabre and a. double barrelled shot gun. The man who carried them off had an accident insurance. And he hasn't been caught yet. In Utica, iN. I., a man accidentally got married. Being insured in the "Break neck," he will receive ?15 a week until he recovers. Andy Johnson writes from Tennessee, " 'My Policy has run out. Send me another by express. Near Portland, Maine, a poor man fell from a loft and broke his neck. He re ceived his insurance, 3,000, from the "Break-neck," with which he was able to set himself up id business, and is now doing well.: . .., : Our agent at Cleveland, Ohio, writes : "A lumber-horse ran away with a bob tailed wagon, and tipped in the street over a small woman and six elderly chit dren. : The horse began to cry and the wagon bled freely at the nose, but other wise the street is , doing well.

He then swam ashore, - sought out the agent, renewed his policy, and immediately returned to the river and sank a third time in a se rene and tranquil manner. A female lodge of Odd-Fellows is he ing organized at Toronto, Canada, " The Woman's Suffrage Convention have adopted a very effective way to keep the hall from being overcrowded. They charge a small admission fee; and it was rather amusing to see enthusiastic re formers last evenifig fetching up unex pectedly against the door-keeper, looking askanse at his financial apparatus and quietly edging off. They hadn't the pewter. r The late Col. I. O. Barnes, of Boston, well-known for his many quaint sayings, once gave his opinion of the millennium as follows: "Yes, gentleman," said he, " I believe in the millennium, and that the time will come when 'the lion and the lamb will lie. down together;' but, gentlemen, I think the lamb will be d bly scared the first night !" " Miss, let us walk in yonder beautiful meadow, where the clover is in blossom, and the amorous zephyrs play," "O, darn your amorous heifers, 1 see enough of them on dad's farm," she replied. At Doctor Mary Walker's lecture in Leavenworth, a man asked if she was the Mary that had a little lamb. A little girl ; repeating her Sunday school lesson, gave a new version to a familiar passage "Ye cannot serve God and mamma." In Chicago the doctors have agreed to charge $100 for cutting off a leg.

The best and tbe most popular companies will then be those that prom ise only equity, and render all that tbey promise, ana lurnisn tbe best security, with the most up rigm ana juaicions management." " By the Stock plan the full cash effect of the premium is immediately secured to the insured the Company taking- all the risk.
