One of the most striking characteris tics of woman is her cheerful persever ance in looking under the bed for a man. No man in his senses ever looks under the bed for a woman; but there are millions of women in this country who would find it quite impossible to sleep in any bed under which they had not previously looked for a concealed man. Experience is lost upon them. The average unmarried woman of forty years of age has usually lSfcked under the bed at least 7,500 times without ever once finding the expected man, but she is not in the least discouraged by so long a course of failure; and it would be easy to find women of ninety years who still nightly search for the man whom they have never found. Miss Johnson, of Exanston, will here after be famous as a woman whose long perseverance has been signally reward ed. It would be indelicate to inquire into her precise age, had she not de scribed herself in a recent affidavit aa having been born in the year 1834, and we may therefore take it for granted that she is at least forty-three years old. If wo assume that she began to look un der the bed at the age of fifteen, it fol lows that she has performed that cere mony more than 10,000 times. Until last Friday she never found the smallest fragment of a man under her bed, but on that eventful night her perseverance was rewarded, and the loag-sought man greeted her astonished gaze. Miss Johnson being an unmarried lady, not wholly unconnected with the milliner's trade, and full of womanly independence, resides entirely alone in small house containing nut three rooms a kitchen, shop and bed room. Dogs she desjii.-jes and cats she mis trusts, while as for men she regards them as poor creatures who may possi bly have their uses in time of drouth. when water must be carted from the creek, but who, as a rule, make more trouble about a house than their necks are worth. Molding these views, it naturally follows that Miss Johnson lives alone, and the cool bravery with which she locks up her house at night and seeks her solitary couch, no matter if a hrst-class thunder-storm is in progress, has for years been the admira tion of the more timid of her sex. It was about 11 o'clock last Friday night when Miss Johnson stooped down and looked under her bed for a possible man, precisely as she had done on 10,000 previous nights. hether she was or was not astonisheu at perceiving a large sized man lying under the bed, with the back of his head toward her, will never be known; but at any rate she gave no sign of astonishment, and did not oven inform the man that she saw him. On the contrary, she resumed with great deliberation the nocturnal twisting of her back hair, and even softly hummed "Hold the Fort" with as much distinct ness as could be expected of a woman while holding a comb between her teeth. Her back hair being finally finished, she opened her window, turned down the lamp until it gave forth a dim mod est light, and then stepped gracefully into bed, but not to sleep. That sagacious woman was perfectly well avare that the man under the bed, not . suspecting that he had been dis covered, would creep forth with a view to plunder as soon as he found that she was asleep. The bedstead stood in tho corner of the room, and from the posi tion of the man it was plain that he would creep out at the side of tho bed. Miss Johnson, therefore, changed her usual manner of composing herself to rest, and lay, as she subsequently ex pressed it, "flat as a pancake," with her head projecting over the side of the bed at the precise locality where she ex pected the man to appear. For at least half an hour she lay perfectly still, watching for the man with a stealthy vigilance that would have done credit to an astutte and experienced cat. Not a muscle or a hair-pin of her frame moved, and her breathing was as slow and regular as that of a profound sleeper . At length the man, confident that ehe was asleep, softly begun to worm him self from under the bed , moving after the manner prescribed by way of penalty to the original serpent of the Garden of Eden. Little did he imagine that a pair of pitiless grey eyes were waiting for the appearance of his head, while a pair of lithe and nervous hands were ready to pounce upon his ears'. It was not many minutes, however, before each ear was suddenly caught in an in exorable grasp, and his head began to oscillate with remarkable speed between the floor and edge of the bedstead. Yon Moltke himself could not have surpassed Miss Johnson's tactics. She had the man completely at her mercy, and he was as helpless as though his head were in the stocks. At first his captor maintained a grim silence, but, after she had bumped him sufficiently to ease her mind, she addressed him upon the wickedness and folly of seeking to rob her. In vain did tho man protest Uiat his motives were innocent, that he had mistaken the house, and had merely intended to take a quiet nap under his own bedstead, where the flies could not find him. Miss Johnson sternly told him that he could not make her believe any such nonsense, and that she would "let him know," and would also "show him." These threats were carried ouj by a renewal of the bump ing process, until the man yelled for mercy so loudly that the neighbors were aroused and rushed to Miss John son's house with the firm conviction that a gang of burglars had murdered that excellent woman and were quarrel ling over the division of spoils. It was not until a strong force, armed with clubs and hatchets, had recklessly en tered the room, that Miss Johnson sur rendered the captive, with the remark that the sooner they took themselves off the better, and that if any other man would like to lie under her bed she was entirely ready to knock a little sense into him. Thus this intrepid woman not onlv defended herself with the most signal success, but she pointed out the true way to deal with a man under the bed. Most women would have tried to poke the man out with a broom, at the same time requesting him to "shoo." There suit would have been to expose them selves to an attack at a very great dis advantage. Miss Johnson's plan, on the cntrary, places a man under the bed entirely at the mercy of a cool and cour ageousvoman, and those women who may at any time hereafter find a man under their respective beds will do well to imitate her example and share her well-earned glory. .Vetc York T.mes A woman named one nf hens Macduff," so that it may lav on. Dus His Grave and Died. ONE Of THE MOST REMARKABLE CASES OF SUICIDE ON RECORD. The Carmi (Mo.) Times has the fol lowing remarkable account of a suicide near that place: Again it becomes our duty to chronicle a death by suicide, and in this case tho determination to commit the deed seems to have been stronger than in any case ever heard of before. For a long time Mr. Elijah Brown, aged about sixty-five years, liv ing at Crooked Creek, has not been in his right mind, and has not only threatened suicide, but has made three at tempts to take his life the last one of which occurred last Sunday night and terminated in his death. About a year ago he attempted to shoot himself, but was prevented by a bystander. Seven months ago, when his son, James 11. Brown, suicided, the old man said he intended to do the same thing at the first opportunity. On Saturday night last Mr Brown's family sent word to Mr. David Harris to come over, as Mr. Brown intended killing himself. Mr. Harris went over and found Brown dig ging a grave by the side of that of his first wife, while a lighted candle sat on the side of the grave and a shot-gun was laid near by. Harris asked him what he intended doing, and he replied that he was going to kill himself, that he was digging his own grave and want ed to be buried just as he was found in the grave, without any coffin; asked Harris to do the shoveling in of the dirt, and to tell every one that he was in his right mind, and that all the world could not prevent his killing himself; that no one was to blame for the act but his own family. Harris stayed with him until the candle burned out, when both returned to the house. Brown at once got another candle, put some fresh caps on his gun, and started back to his dig ging. Harris then went home, and Mrs. Brown went out and watched the dig ging. The grave was finished about eleven o'clock that night. It is not known whether he attempted to kill himself -with the gun that night or not, although that was his first intention, as he returned to the house shortly after the grave was finished. Here he fixed a string to his rifle so as to discharge it himself, but for some reason he gave that idea up. Sunday he came to Carmi and purchased a drachm bottle of morphine, went home and carried some boards out to his grave to cover his body with, and then finished up all his preparations for death. About ten o'clock that night he handed his little grandson a twenty-five cent piece, and immediately swallowed two-thirds of the bottle of morphine. He lived until 5:25 yesterday evening sleping all the time. Brown was in comiortauie circum stances and appeared sound on every oth er subject. For the last year or so he has quite frequently said that he intended to kill himself. ThierV Last Moments. Theirs hud breakfasted heartily and was abouitobe served with dessert, when ho suddenly became motionless and stammered, "I am ill I can't breathe I am suffocat ing." His last words were addressed to Madame Theirs. Ho said, in reply to a question, "Oh, it is nothing, it will pass away presently." He leaves two wills one'bequeathing most of his fortune to his wife and Mile. Dosne, and the oth er a purely p 1 : tical testament, which he had entrusted to the care of Barthelemy St. Hillaire. Meissonicr, the painter, who passed the previous Snnday with M. Thiers, with whom he had a lively diseussion on the merits of Delacroix, attempted theft to take a portrait of the deceased statesman, which the artist successfully completed after death. A cast of the face was also taken by M. Braun. M. Thiers keenly felt beauty in the animal and vegetable worlds. lie tended hisflowers as if they were living things. Anxiety for his humming birds Siricus'y preyed upon him at Torus and Bordeaux. Tears of joy one day burst from his eyes at Yersailles, when M. Charles Blanc took out of his pocket some tiny pots of fern which Fontain allowed him to carry off from the place St. Georges. Tho pair cf gazelles, sent him by the Egyptian Pasha in 1840, lived to an old age, and founded a dynasty. M. Thiers used to be irresistibly drawn in to the garden of his Ministerial resi dence to caress t t.em. He taught the doe to lie at his feet with her head against him when he was working at budgets and writing dispatches. His love of horses amounted to a passion. He had thought of writing a history of tho horse, to obtain materials for which ho overcame his aversion to the Due de Morney, one of the leading turfmen of the Empire. Ho used to speculate on the eloquent things the horse would uttenrf it could but speak. The Aba its. The intensity of the sun shine is reproduced in the Arab eye; the simoon is a terrible symbol of those guests of wrath which desolate the hu man soul. Luxury and indolerfce are their characteristics as well as fiery tem pers, and we are at a loss to reconcile one with the other. Our sky, bright as it is, is not to be compared with that of the East. After fifty days of desert travel I left it fascinated by the variety of its scenes. In its solitude it resembled the ocean, but it is sweet and refresh ing. Providence leaves none of the dtsert-places of the earth without some atoning quality. God has breathed up on the desert this sweet and cleansing breath. I could point out many traits of resemblance between the sailor and Bedouin. Both are free and roviog in their tastes. Among either you will rarely find a coward. I prefer here speaking of the wandering Arab as a type of the race. The Arab dialect, in which the Koran is written, is still spoken in its pristine purity in iEgirls, around Mecca. The Arab is brave, and his sense of honor irreproachable. He is devoted to the muses. I have no doubt that Christiain knights first learn ed their sense of honor and chivalry among the Saracens at the time of the Crusades. The law of protection is held in as much respect among the Aiabs as is the Koran. The pride of the Arab is his birthright, and dignity in his natu ral manner. The Arab is generous, and his hospitality is universal, the guest confers an honor upon his host, and the name of strangers is sacred. A Traveler in the East. "What i3 this sinecure that we hear so much about now," asked an up-town lady of her husband; "is it anything like the old-fashioned water enre?" He was a politician and replied it was a great improvement on that, particularly for coffers and other troubled with chest difficulties. It is only after the tooth is pulled that man sees what a great missed-ache he has made. Chicago Journal. 1 COURTESY OF BANCROFT LIBRARY, TrMTVTTP.TTY P.iT.T"P,DT'NTA . A father said of his boy, who had neglected his studies and become con spicuous as a Vladies" man "he's got all girled vp." The Springfield Hejiub lican thinks this is a remarkably happy and pregnant phrase, as descriptive of the vealy period of youth. We suppose it wouldn't do to say of girls at a simi lar stage, that they are all boyed tip ! How to Oct an Appetite. To a man or woman without an appetite, "the best the market affords " presento little or no attractions. The oooner such a hapless individ ual puts the gastric organ in a condition to en joy the edible comforts which a bountiful provi dence has provided, the more reason there will bo to feel grateful for the suggestion. To do this, invigorate the stomach with Ilostetter's Stomach liittrs, which will enable that organ to digest properly, and, since good digestion is the parent of appetite, give birth to a desire for food at the intervals appointed by nature. With chronio want of appetite are usually associated nervousness, biliousness and constipation, three evils which are speedily overcome by the Bit ters. All persons of a dyHpeptic or bilious ten dency should use this healthful tonic daily, or at least three or four times a week. A pursu ance of this course will soon insure ntul confirm a radical change for the better in the condition of tho stomach and associate organs.
