I SUMNER'S STRENGTH, Tfce BeaLarkaUs phjr.lcal Pow.r. of she famous Senator. Mr. Samner stood six feet two Inches high without his shoes, and he vrm so well built that his height was ouly no ticeable when he was near a person of ordinary size. But there was a man ner about him, a free swing of the arm, a stride, a pose of his shaggy head, a sway of hU broad shoulders that gve to those who knew him best the idea that he was of heroic size. Then, too, there was something in the Intent look of his deep-set eye, his corrugated brow, the frown born of intense thought, and his large head, made to seem yet larger by its crown of thick. heavy, longish gray hair, all of which gare the idea of physical greatness; but with his frequent smile the set frown passed, his whole appearance changed, and his face beamed like a dark lantern suddenly lighted. His smile effected a wonderful trantfonna- tion in his whole appearance, and it set np a peculiar sympathy between himself and its rcctp"ent For one of his sedentary habits, he had extraordinary strength, and yet he was not an athlete. While in Wash ington his only exercise was walking, and as he believed it was the pace rather than the distance that Udls, when opportunity offered he would go at a rate that amazed beholders. Some persons attempting to join and keep cp with him only succeeded by taking an occasional hop, skip and jump, such as children practice when walking with their parents. Up to the time of his In- unes he walked much in Washington. for, as ho said, he could outwalk omnibuses, and give them long odds. Ue was hardly aware of his enormous strengthen was so seldom called into exercise. His books were packed in large boxes at the end of each session and sent from his rooms to the Capitol, only to be returned at the beginning of the next session. These boxes weighed nearly fire hundred pounds each, and were difficult to handle in passages and stairways, and ao were accompaniel by four men. Once when he was liv ing at Rev. Dr. Sampson's, one of these heavy boxes got stuck in the stairway. It could be extricated without damage to the walls only by lifting it over the banister. The four men failed to apply their strength to the most advantage. for they got in each other's way, and thus failed to move the box. The Sen ator, hatted and gloved, ready to go out. came down the stairs. Why don't you lift it over the rail?" said he. How can we?" answered one. "You have no idea of its weight" "Let me try," said the Senator.and, leaning over the rail, he seized the rope becket at the end of the box and lifted the latter clear of its entangle ments by one sure pull, splitting his g'ove, however, across the back. The men . were amazed; and he, a little embarrassed, said: "I didn't mean to lift it, only to try its weight;" and then went back for fresh gloves. Cormopol iiatu m m DRESS WELL, NOT GAUDY. Why Every Warns. Should Array Herself In Kent and Tasty Garments. The day will soon come," says a well-known leader of fashion, when it will no longer be a slur on a good wo man, old or young, to say she thinks a good deal of dress; she attaches enor mous importance to aesthetics." While it remains a good motive to give others pleasure and spare them disagreeable shocks, the rule, must hold good in every department of life. "The day will soon come when it shall be s recog nized duty to conceal what is offensive. when slight deformities of limb and skin shall be avowedly disguised by art and great and startling deformities shall cease to disgrace our publio streets. It is one of the duties of life to grease the wheels on which we drive as far as ever that- is consistent with other duties, and most people must judge for themselves how far that is. It is as easy to dress well as ill. since dress we must. Absolute uncon sciousness as to how she looks is im possible to any woman, since every eye tells her unbidden; therefore, indiffer ence to appearance is inculcated. It is natural to wish to please in all ways by kindness and a pleasant manner or, at least, not to displease. How deli cately Goldsmith distinguishes his two types of innocent and admirable wo manhood! Differently lovely, Olivia was often affected from too great a de sire to please; bourne even repressed excellence from her fears to offend' one vanquished by a Bingle blow, the other by efforts successfully repeated.' Very beautiful women are seldom vain. They are so used to their own beauty that they do not think much about it, any more than a man thinks much about his rank or profession when not engaged In his duties. The vain woman is the one who has been un fairly disparaged. Undue self-consciousness is the revolt against injustice and like all revolts is disagreeable. Were all women acknowledged to have each her points, personal as well as mental, and allowed to cultivate them in a sensible and simple spirit, there would be less envy and malice, less vanity and wasted time, and more in nocent pleasure throughout life. But a pretty woman who leaves her mind nncultivated her mind and heart for the sake of her body, that is the illus tration of the 'jewel of gold in the swine's snoutP' " Dry Good Chroni ele.

T.. was burned to the ground, and also a saloon adjoining. The hoiel was rented by a'mau named August McLean, and it is thought by the people in that vi cinity that he set it on fire from mo tives of revenge. An unknown man was consumed in the building. A fatal collisiou occurred at Bren ner station, on the Atchison db Ne braska railroacl. A pasteneer train coming south crashed into the rear of freight, telescoping the caboose, which was occupied by six traders on their way to Arkansas. John orth was scalded to death. Wm. Robinson was serijusly scalded and will probably ic T. McEldosrney, Chas. Pullman nd A. F. Wilcox wore badly scalded. AuguetSpies, Adolph Fiwher.AdoIph Engel snd A. T. Parsons, the anar chists, were barged at Chicago. A pe tition with eleven miles of signatures was presented to Gov. Ogletby, praying hat the condemned men be reprieved. The request was granted in the cases of Michael Scwab and Samuel Felden. Meantime Louis Linnet bad committed suicide by blowing bis bead off with a fulminating csp. The other four paid the penalty of their crime on th scaf fold with remarkable coolness. Eneel, arKms, Fischer and Scwab weie rinlers. The Canadian Pacific overland sleeper, leaving Vancouver, and pas senger car were thrown off the track, tumbling down an embankment thirty feet high at a place between Grassette nd Otter, about ball way between Port Arthur and Cartier. The cause of the accident was a broken rail and the fact that the train was trying to make up lost time. The drawing room car was lull ot sleeping passengers, and considering that the car was a com pete wreck, it seems providential that beyond a few cut. and bruises all escaped uninjured. A Montgomery, Ala., special tells a horrible story of the burning of two colored men. They had assaulted a young white woman, and were cap turt-d by a poese of farmers. The young woman identified them on sight. A trial was had and the people decided that the two men should be burned to eath. A log pile was built on the tide of a public road, and the negroes were chained each between two heavy logs and then the four logs were chained together, bo that the wildest contor tions of the wretches could not shake them. A Ere was kindled, which roon blaz d up and enveloped them. Their wnthings and ecreainn were not heard long, fur the flames soon put an end to ife. The trouble with the Crow Indians is ended. Gen. Ruger gave them one hour and a half in which to consider his demand to surrender. They re fused, and a red-hot skirmish then re sulted, in which Corporal Charles Thompson wjs killed, Private Eugene M alloy slightly wounded, and I rivate Clark thrown from his horse and his shoulder dislocated. A running fight ensued, the Indians retreating, some lo a peaceful gathering near the agency, and others crossing the river and tak ing to the liills. "Sword bearer" made a final stand at the crossing of the Lit tle Horn, about one mile b low the agency, in which, he and probably three of his followers were killed. ' Swordbearer's " body was brought in to camp, but the other Indians are only reported dead. Most ot the Indians circled about and returned to the agency, mixing with the oilier camps. There are now supposed to be from twenty to fifty on the outside. At St. Louis an explosion of gasoline in the rear cellar of Michael Newman's grocery store, lifted the two story build iDg from its foundation and dropped it back again in a mass of rums, be neath which were buried twelve per sons, lney were wionaei Newman, ared 62 ; Mrs. Newman, aeed 40 Mamie iwnisn, aged Is ; Nellie New man, sged 15; Katclnewman, aged 11; Eddie Newman, aged 13 ; Charles De vere. Mrs. Charles Devere, Hattie Brown, of Columbus, Ky., Cuatles Elf- ferd, Miss Bryany, and Mrs. Bergeley, The explosion was followed by a fire, which was with great difficulty put out by the firemen. They then began the search for the dead. All of the up stairs was occupied as a tenement. Newman and his family lived over the store. The force of the explosion was terrific. . An entire block of buildings north of and across the alley from the building in which the explosion took place was gutted by the blast. The Newman block was crushed in and was covered by the roof, which had settled down upon the ruins and formed barrier through which the rescuers had to cut awav the beams and walls which impeded their progress. In the same building lived Charles Devere, traveling salesman, and his wife. Vis iting them was Miss Hattie Brown, of Columbus, Kentucky.

Ceffinberry, of Union, was thrown from a bueey by frightened team in Grand Ronde valley, and so seriously injured that he died the fol lowing night. The L Grande- GaseUe comments on the accident as follows : The mortality cauaed by runaway teams and fsactious horses in this county is something frightful, there being almost an average of two persons killed every year in this jf y, and the death rate from this source seems either on the increase than otherwise. Akno Morris, engaged at a logging camp near fine creek. Baker county, was killed instantly and horrible man gled and crushed by the falling of a tree. He had just commenced logging that day and had driven bis ox team to a standstill near the tree he was about to fell. The tree was ready to fall, when the oxen started up, and fearing they would get in barm's way, he attempted to stop them. He had only gone a few steps when the tree fell on him, striking him in the back tnd bead. A young man named Gal.
