ice across the -Missouri river at
Bismark, over which heavy trains
passed. There was some risk in
this sort of enterprise, as will be
seen by the following from a St.
Louis journal :
The trains had been runninir
through water and Uoating ice two or
three feet deep. Hie cab of the last
locomotive to cross was nooaea, anu
the engine tipped to one side, but by
Btrange good luck the crossing was
safely made. A train of twenty cars
dashing through a river was an unpre- j night with him. The stranger was a

Roman Catholic coun-
treis in the world are Protestants,
who were once school-fellows in
the Latin Quarter, Paris. Thirty
years ago the principal of the Kel

scholars, one of whom attracted at

for the joyousness of his nature.
Time has gone on and these two
scholars have made their way in
the world. They have forgotten
their old relations and their brother-
ly emulation, but the old professor
has not lost siMitof th m. He has
followed them in their careers, and i

to-day he has the pleasure of say-

The older is Richard Waddington.
The younger is first minister of a

The good professor who measures
distances with his heart, and notk;ad:: one to wolllfel. i,0NV any womai
with compasses, is as proud of the can have patience enough to puzzle lie
Premier of the little province as he ;
is of the first minister of the great
republic; and, in quoting these two
examples to his pupils in a paternal
address, he has said to them: "My
children, follow in the foosteps of
Richard Waddington and llenri
Gustave Joly."
The assassin of the Frankfort
(Ky.) judge admits the killing, but
justifies it on the ground that the
judge deserved death, and even
has the hardihood to declare that
he killed him in the fulfillment of
an oath made on the grave
of his sister. On his sister's
grave he " swore to win the case
or die with her." He seems to
think that the obligation to fulfil
his oath someway excused the
murder of the Judge, whose decis
ion was against him. t is about
time for Kentucky"' to take her as
sassins and apologists of assassina
tion in hand. All accounts agree
that the Judge was a man of un
questioned integrity, and the gov
ernor in :i proclamation declared
that he was able, incorruptible
and impartial. But the assassin
cannot be made to realize that ho
has committed ,a crime.
Baxter Springs was the centre
of the Kansas cattle trade ten
yars ago, and $230,000 was bor
rowed on bonds for public works.
Afterwards the place lost most of
its business and population, and
has just bought in the bonds for
815,000. .
In a report on the penitentiary,
a member of the Illinois legisla
ture says: " We think that the de
sire of hK people of Illinois is, if a
man is guilty of murder, 'hang
him;Mf'not,iheii snd him to the
-penitentiary for a term of years

A patent wind-mill man is taking the
farmers of Dayton county in by mak
ing agents of them and taking notes of
them in the usual swindling manner.
With all the attention the newspapers
give to the exposure of these sharps,
and with all the warnings they give to
farmers, there are a class of fools who
are ready to bite at any new fraud
that comes along. Such people are
not entitled to the least sympathy for

the substantial farmers of the valley.
These farmers now want to know if
they signed a contract, or a note, or if
they deeded their farms. They say
they do not know what they did sign.
Such swindlers and scoundrels should
be severely punished.
Joel Tillman, living near Chehalis,
was taken in and done for not long
since by a stranger who remained over
handing him an innocent looking piece
of paper on which to write it. Joel
suspected no trick, and after giving
the stranger a warm shake of the hand
the two separated, feeling that it was
well that they had met. The sequel
to all this is, that when Joel gave the
stranger his address he simply signed
an order for six hundred gate rollers!
The rollers have come to hand and
Joel will have them to pay for. Yet,
Joel Tillinau is considered a smart
'man.

find in an eastern exchange a counter-
Par,fc of J1"3 dlous counterpane,

counterpane. We appreciate industrious
women, but we want to see them learn
to turn their industry to good advantage.
There is nothing to commend, in worth
less work.
We have often expressed our opin
ion on this subject in language similar
to the above, and every year confirms
us more fully in the belief of its
correctness. In the first place, use

much need of useful employment is

is not only to the interest of every
individual mother, but to the interest
of posterity to prevent, result from the
cramped position of the worker, who,
defrauded of God's blessed sunshine,
sits for weary daTs and weeks and
months, cutting, and fitting and sew

useless bits. Yet other days are spent
days of discomfort and general disor

stretched in frames, suspended from j
the coning or supported by chairs,
and the needle, propelled by a fretful
energy, glides in and out, lacerating
thumb and finger as it goes, tiring

of the body is further contorted to
make a good. u reach," and after all, a

Danbiiry Seta,
One of the plumbing establish
ments of Danbury took in a new
jour the other day. He vas -
from a hamlet over in New York
state a little hamlet where lie
had worknff with his lather. Xhe
day after his arrival there was a
burst in the water pipe of a house
on Pine street. He was told to go
over there and attend to it.
Seeing the owner of the house
in the shop, he went up to him and
got the particulars of the break,
and then he made ready his tools
and started.
Just as he was passing out of
the door the proprietor saw him.
"Where are you going?" he
almost screamed.
The new man told him.
"Do you mean to tell me that
you are" going up there to fix that
pipe without examining it?" he
gasped.
"Why I am going to look at it
when I get there," said the new
man.
"Merciful heaven!" ejaculated
his employer, catching hold of the
desk to support himself. "Can it
be possible that you would do a
job at one visit? Don't you know
your trade any better than that?
Have you no pride in your busi
ness? Why, you'd ruin the entire
community in less than a year."
And the speaker burst into tears.
As soon as he grew calmer he
explained to the new man that he
should first visit the house, make a
thorough examination of the build
ing, get the lay of the streets, find
the location of the nearest hydrant,
go up on the roof the house, and
then return thoughtfully to the
shop for his tools, keeping an ac
curate record of his time.
When Pius IX. was Pope, Fanny
Els3ler visited Home, danced and set
the public crazy. In forty-eight hours
the gilded youth, her admirers, had
subscribed 12,000 francs and bought a
splendid crown to be presented to her
as a testimonial. When the time
came for presenting the danseuse with
it, one of the subscribers, an excellent
' young noble, obtained an audience of
the Pope, and asked if there would be
any harm in the presentation if the
Pope had any objections. "I have
neither objection to make nor advice
to offer," said His Holiness, "but it
does seem.to me that you might have
picnHtiponirniore apjiropriate gift,
ln.my simplicity as a priest, I have
always thought the crowns were made
for heads and not for legs." The
crown was duly given to the dansuese,
who meanwhile had heard of the
Pope's saying, and promptly sent the
value of the gift in money to the parish
priests for the poor. Pius IX. heard
of this in his turn, and when next he
met one of the subscribers to the
testimonial, said to him: "You were
tpiite right in giving that woman that
crown she has just proved that there
is more sense in her legs than you
had in your heads."
