On his way to Wheeling in a private car, President I Buchanan made the usual wait at Oak land Station, where many persons as sembled to be presented to the chief magistrate. When Mary’s turn came, the exalted bachelor put the question to her that had served him throughout the ; interview: “And what State are you from, Miss?” “From the same state as I your excellency,” she quickly replied, “the state of single blessedness !” Over the great Los Angeles earthquake the communities down South are excess ively proud. They claim that a man at San Fernando was actually thrown out of his bed by the shock. That this is un true can be seen by perusing the follow ing dispatch: “Editor: Please correct the state ment in daily papers. My husband was not thrown out of bed by any earthquake. I threw him out of bed myself, and I’ll do it every time he comes home intoxi cated, and lies down at the foot of the bed and puts his muddy boots in my face.

A Washington correspondent says: The four blind musical brothers of Union- town. reads more like the caption of a talc in the “Arabian Nights” than a simple statement of facts. A family of this singular description have, however, been living in a suburb of Washington. Uniontown is a little settlement that has grown up across the east branch of the Potomac, within easy reach of the navy yard. It is a sleepy, tumble-down vil lage, whose chief claim to aristocracy is (he nomenclature of the streets, which bear the name of every President to Buchanan. Its chief citizen is, perhaps, Frederick Douglass, who owns a fine country place near the river's bank.

Of this numerous progeny all who were born with .sight died but one, a girl; and at present only five children are left, tlus girl and four blind brothers, named Janies, Ignatius, George and Alfred. They are all smart and happy, all are masters‘of some trade, and all are musi cal. When in a frolicsome mood, each in turn will play on the family fiddle while the others dance. One of the brothers is quite an accomplished musician, and supports himself by giving lessons on the piano. 'The others play merely for recre ation. Two are broom makers by trade, and make a broom which is famous through the neighborhood for its excel lence. The remaining brother is a cabi netmaker, with a special knack at coilins. Eaten by Goats Only. At about three marches distant from Suakin, in the valleys round the foot of Jebel Drus, the vegetation is unusually plentiful and varied. Together with the acacia are found a kind of thorny box tree, whose botanical name I do not know; a beautiful golden-tinted aloe with crimson blossom, in full flower at the time of my visit, and a singular-look ing shrub, often attaining the dimensions of a large apple tree, and called by the natives wishar, or ushar. Its botanical name is asclepia procera. The bark is whitish yellow and cork-like in texture; the leaves ovate in form, four to five inches long, and of a bright glossy green, and when broken exude a thick, white, milky juice, like that of the poppy or dandelion. The blossom is pinkish white, and produces a fruit about the size of a large orange, but grooved down one side like a peach. It is bright green in color and consists of an inflated skin. In the center arc numerous flat seeds, surrounded by a large quantity of silky-white fiber. The milky juice of this tree is used for poisoning arrows and lance heads, and if brought in contact with the eye causes immediate and vio lent inflammation of the most violent kind, which usually terminates in the complete destruction of the organ. The leaves are, I understand, used in the preparation of merissa, a fermented drink made from millet. It is a curious fact, that while all other animals carefully avoid even contract with the wishar tree, goats eat its leaves and fruits with avid ity, being the only creatures, I believe, who can do so with impunity.--(/wre- spondence London News. The Terrible Fate of a Brutal Negro at the Hands of a Mob. At the recent term of the Calcasieu Parish District Court a white man named Oscar Martin was convicted of an attempt to murder his father, whom he shot and wounded, and a negro named Lewis Woods was convicted of assaulting a negro girl. They were both young men, not more than twen ty-one years of age. While awaiting sentence they succeeded in escaping from jail, and took to the woods. A few days afterward Lewis Woods came up with a Mrs. Humphries, the wife of a well connected gentleman, in the woods at a point near Bear Head Creek, about thirty miles northwest of Lake Charles, and assaulted her. Martin does not appear to have been present at the outrage. The country was aroused, and the fugitives, who had kept together, were tracked and followed, and finally driv en into Texas, where a weekago in Jasper county, near Cairo, they were arrested by citizens of that state. The men were held until the arrival of dep uty sheriffs from Calcasieu, who took the prisoners and started by rail with them for Lake Charles. On arriving at the Edgerly station in Calcasieu parish, the train was boarded by fifty armed men, who forci bly took the mm off the train. It was evident that tl a mob intended to make short work of he matter. They start ed with the two prisoners for the woods back of Edgerly. Some of them had ropes and others shotguns, but it was reserved for the negro not to die either by the rope or powder and shot. He seemed to be indifferent to his fate, and trotted along in the middle of the mob as if he were the most un concerned man in the party. Not so with the white man. He seemed to fear the worst, and it was often neces sary to push him along in order for him to keep up with his black com panion. When the timber was reached the negro was quickly lashed to a tree, and the crowd began to pile fagots about him. While the work was going on he Pegged to exonerate his companion, the white man, who, he said, had no hand in the outrage upon the woman. “He begged me not to do it,” said the negro, “and that is all I have to 1.

It is said, for instance, that he | can tell a five from a ten-dollar bill by I feeling the two notes. One of the brothers is married and has a large family.

An Instrument for Recording Speech Automatically. One of the most interesting exhibits at the Vienna Electrical exhibition was Gentilli’s glossograph, a little instrument by which speech is automatically repro duced as soon as it is uttered. A small apparatus is placed in the mouth of the speaker—in contact wi th the roof of his mouth, his tongue and lips—and, on be ing connect^ with an electro-magnetic rogiotoriu^- Wpparaluo, the bounds lire committed to paper. •. is constructed in such a manner as not to cause any in convenience to the speaker; neither is it Those words saved the life of the white man, and he is now in the jail at Lake Charles. When the pile of dry brush was al most as high as the head of the negro the match was applied, and soon the flames were seething and crackling around the doomed man. As they be gan to scorch his flesh his agonizing shrieks seem to penetrate the very heavens. It seemed to be the intention of the crowd to prolong his sufferings as much as possible, and some of the crowd, which had now increased to about 200, pulled some of the fire away from the victim. He begged them to shoot him—anything to relieve him from his sufferings. The sufferings of the man did not cease for fully twenty minutes, and the agony that he endured in that short space of time was more than pen can picture.—Maryland Democrat.

Y. Mr Curtin is a man who is known by every prominent detective and policeman in Ameiica, and he stands pre eminently in the front of his profession. Quiet and gentle manly in appearance and manners, he pos sesses a courage combined with marked phy- s,c fil powei’s, that make him the terror of evil-doers and the pride of law-abiding citi zens. Few people can realize, however, the ® 3 P° sur ® s , and even privations, to wh j c h th® members of every municipal police and fire department are exposed. Compelled to be on duty at uncertain hours, subjected to the most inclement weather, and often necessitated by the nature of their duties to protracted undertakings, they endure a ner vous and physical strain that is terrible, buch was the experience of Mr. Curtin in for mer days; and it is not surprising that he found himself suffering from a mysterious physical trouble. In relating his experience u representative of this paper he said: At times when I was on duty I woulI feel an unaccountable weariness and lack of energy. My appetite was also uncertain and my head seemed dull and heavy. I did not fully understand these troubles, but supposed as most people suppose, that I was suffering from malar a. 1 tried to throw off the feel ing, but it would not go. [ thought I might overcome it, but found I was mistaken, and J finally became so badly off that it was almost impossible to attend to my duties.

I v. eat to the druggist and was recommended to use Hunt’s Remedy, as it had been used with wonderful success in sei e al severe c^ses of dropsy and kidney and bladder aV c ions here in Bangor.

The conductor had been his rounds, and taken a seat beside a very quiet and unassuming passenger. “ Pretty full train,” finally observed the passenger. “ Yes.” “Road seems to be doing a good busi ness.” “ Oh, the road makes plenty of money, but--” “But what?” asked the passenger, as the other hesitated. “Bad management. It is the worst managed line in this whole country.” “Is that so?” “That’s so. The board of officials might know how to run a side-show to a circus, but they can't tackle a railroad.” “ Who is the biggest fool in the lot?” “ Well, the superintendent is.” “ I’m glad of that,” said the passenger, as his face lighted up. “I was afraid you would say it was the president.” “ Suppose I had?” “ Why, I’m the man.”—Wall Street News. Mr. Kimball, the present vice-president of the Rock Island, took a seat behind two section men in a coach leaving Daven port for Chicago. The conductor came in and collected fare from one of High Food. It may be laid down as a great prin ciple that meat, fish or poultry in a state of decay cannot be eaten with safety, since symptoms of irritant poisoning have so frequently arisen from this cause. But a little consideration will show us the impossibility of drawing a hard and fast line upon this point. We relish venison which has partially undergone decay, while we at once reject beef or mutton in a similar condition. Again, poultry to be palatable must be fresh, yet we do not scruple to cat game which is far ad vanced in decomposition. There is no doubt that in many cases we are guided by our palates in determining what food is wholesome for us; for while many of us eat moldy cheese a Chinaman will swallow.bad eggs, and some races enjoy fish which we would consider putrid. Even as regards oysters, which are gen erally relished in proportion to their fresh ness, it is sometimes a matter of taste For example, it is recorded of the first monarch of the house of Hanover that he objected to the English native oyster as being deficient in flavor. It was private ly suggested by a shrewd courtier that the native oyster should be allowed to become somewhat stale before being brought to the royal table. The king at once recognized the flavor which had always pleased him so much at Herren- hausen, and gave orders that in future he should always be supplied from that par ticular bed. The absence of evil conse quences after eating food which has un dergone a certain amount of decay is doubtless due in many cases to the com- necessary that the voice, should be raised, as it reproduces a whisper as exactly as a shout; the only condition is a correct and distinct articulation. According to the inventor’s calculation it will be possible to write four or five times as fast by means of the glossograph hitherto been the quickest possible ev writer. At as has by first sight, it appears as if this invention were but an improvement upon Edison’s phonograph; it is, however, of a much older date. It rests, unlike the former, on an acoustic principle, and does not re produce the sounds in a microscopical form. The chief obstacle to the intro duction of the glossograph, says the Pall Midi Gazette, will be the difficulty in de ciphering the characters, but it is not im possible that with the help of a second automatic apparatus the characters pro duced by the glossograph may be trans lated into our common type-writing. The orthography would doifbtless appear strange, but in these days of phonetic spelling this might not be a long hind rance. Sitka Showers. After the scattered villages and trading posts along the shores of the archipelago, Sitka came upon us like a vision of metropolitan splendor, and the town full of moss-grown and weather-beaten houses Ap des as Food. From the earliest ages apples have been in use for the table as a dessert. The historian Pliny tells us that the Romans cultivated twenty-two varie ties of the apple. In these latter days we probably possess over two thou sand. As an article of food they rank with the potato, and on account of the variety of ways in which they may be served, they are far preferable to the taste of many persons; and if families would only substitute ripe, luscious apples for pies, cakes and candies, and preserved fruit, there would be much less sickness among the children, and the saving of this one item alone would purchase many barrels of apples. They have one excellent effect upon the whole physical system, feeding the brain, as well as adding to the flesh, and keeping the blood pure ; also, pre venting constipation, and correcting a tendency to acidity, which produces rheumatism and neuralgia. They will cool off the feverish condition of the system ; in fact, they are far better for these purposes than the many nostrums which are highly praised in the adver tisements, and are so constantly pur chased by sufferers. A ripe, raw apple is digested in an hour and a half, while a boiled potato takes twice the time. “So von fixneriancA, HsTio j«b«.-j-, v execution of your duties now, Mr ‘Curtin, “None whatever.
