' "' The Rev. Mr. Walker, of. the Orthodox Chunoh in iJelton, had prepared a discourse for his sinful congregation, upon the subject of endless pumshment. The para ble of the rich man and Lazaras was his basis, and -he 4umed the; anathemas of vrath at the black sheep of his flock as thugh he were 'an'" avenging angel, ' and. many members of his congrega tion felt guilty ; terrors. Tim Bates shivered in his shoes, and thought of the pile he had taken the- night before and told his mother a lie, and debated wheth er he should confess, or rcn he nsk of the punishmOTrt fulmina ted by, the parson;' iBut he did not settle the matter that time, for -the minister was suddenly broeght to a full stop in the midst, Of 4ns discourse, and -the congre gation elecrified, by a tremendous crash and report in their midst, as if - heaven and earth had come together. - ' -.

" The case of Abe Rotchschild, convicted in Texas of murder in the first 'degree, is interesting. - The 6tory, as told in the evicreiyces begins with the arrival of Bessie Moore in Cincinnati two years ago. Sbe was about twenty jcars ol4 and had considerable money, bu-t hor most oteworthy property was a large amber of diamonds, for which she had a remarkable liking. -She -ca-roe to be fcncftvn as Diamond Bess. Abe Roths -child was a noted Western gam bier- He fell in love with Dia mond iess, or 4or diamonds, or both, and proposed to marry her. She Beveral timea pawned some of her diamonds to .get fHoney for 4iim, but always managed to re deem them. Th? pair were mar ried about a year ago, jn Chicago. They went to Texas on a honey moon trip, she carrying the dia Tnonds carefully in her peoket They arrived at the Brocks house, Marshall, on Jan. 17, and stayed two davs. Quarreline rn their room was -overhearfl,:and Bess appeared to be defending her dia monds against seizure by her hus band.

A policeman having been call ed upon to 6hoot a dog in a yard, took a seat on a lence, drew his legs out of danger, and Temarked to himself as he took aim : "The seat of till .-vanity is the heart, and here goes." A cow in the lot beyond threw np her head and went galloping off around, and the dog trotted over the yard as if : perfectly . atj3om.e...,The officer got a good ready and 6b served: -f j " . - ' ' : 4The fear of death ia often as strongly exhibited in :beasts as in -man and their dying agonies have been known to bring the tears to the eyes of their executors.' -Dang 1 A woman who wa3 working up an old knot iu the alley, flung down the ax, put her head over the fence aud - warned the policeman that she didn't want to be bothered any more though she woulden't object to fats shoot ing up in the air it the pohco regulation required it. . . "Natural : history ssetts that the average life of a canine is four years," resumed the officer as he brought the revolver down agaiu "and that tbey are subjected to fourteen dinerent diseases. I will now take that chap right feehfed tbe -ear, penetrating skull a-ad brain, and causing death in from two to four minutes." The snaoke had scarcely lifted when a melon peddler whose horse was coming down the street at a sc rose up in his waggon, and called oat "If you boys don't stop shootin' beans at me I'll wallop the hull crowd, rich ones and all ! That 'ere last one just tickled my nose ! "Natural Jhist " began the officer, when the dog discovered a hole under the fence and slipped into the street and made on. ""tfatiral history," repeated the blue-coat as he dropped off the fence, "explicitly states that dogs rauftt stand still when being shot at, and if I didn't hit him, it's the ifaalt of education ." A Marrying Man. The Rev. John Madding, "of Brooklyn, sentenced to five years' imprisonment tor bigamy, in his confession to the judge wrote : "After my first wife died in 1873, I went to Philadelphia, where I became acquainted with Mary E. Rustel, uud married her. boon after my wife left me on account of my religion. J then went to Newark as a preacher of the gos pe3. There I became acquainted witfc an ki widow, wfo proposed marriage to me, and, after telling ber my cvrcmrmtarjces as regards my wife, who isbving, got mar ried to her. -She also left me. -I then went to Bradford, Conn., where I made the acquaintance of, a third woman, to whonie I was married. She found out the circumstances respecting my pre vious marriages, trad -oue morn ing upon i-etmrimig from work I feund that she also had fled. I then came to Troy, where I lonned ihe acquaintance 'of a servant girl, to -bm 2! was married. She fled from me. Learning that this .last person intended to haveracrrested I left Troy and went to Lowell, Mass. Icaree across a friend who introduced me to a young lady,and after some trere Keeping ; -her jomany I proposed. aud wastnarried to her. About a month after 6he was in formed of my previous marriages, and I had to leave Massachusetts. I then came to Winfield, L.

It is a most surprising thing to see a deer get up on its ; legs at home I mean, and when he would prefer to be alone. Watch a cow at the same operation. Laborious elevation of one end, theu of the other ; then a great yawn, and a cracking of joints, and a lazy twist of j the tail, au(i a mighty suort of -bonne satisfaction, aud' 6he -is ready to go to pail or pasture. But she don't budge, mind, with out the regular formula. How does a buck drive for pasture when you drive him up iu the morning ? Why, he lies with his four feet under him, and when he is ready to go it is like Jack get ting out of the box. The tremen dous extensor muscles contract with all the power and facility rest aud warmth have giveu them, and the plump body, like a well? inflated rubber ball propelled by a vigorous kick, flies lightly into the air. The simile is born out as it seems about to descend; light as thistle-down it uears ths earth ; another giant impulse from an uuseen p9wer crash and again it describes its light para bola ; crack bump thud thud thud each time fainter than the last, and your surprise is all that remains. Gamblers Locked in an Air- , , Tight Vault., Among the . desperate devices re sorted -to by the Cuicago faro bank proprietors to evade the vigorous 13 ids of the police, a favorite one is to lock up the inmates in fire proof vaults, which are supplied with ven tilation holes for this purpose,. Re cently, George Rankin's place was raided and seventeen players were bundled into tbe vault, the door locked and the police admitted. Hanking and a colored servant ; re maining outside. Instead of going away, as usual, on finding the room deserted, the officers, who were u to the dodge, sit down and waited. Noticing the ventilating holes, they stuffed paper into them, and again sat down and waited.) In about an hour the air in the vault becuue so vitiated that-Trfe prisoners became esperate, and from tbe inside came fiint cries: "Let us out, we are near ly dead." Even then 4he proprietor refused, for a time, to. i liberate them, and when he did, the seventeen in mates rushed out in a state bordering oa suffocation. One old man was early dead, and alf were "terribly exhausted. The confinement of seventeen men in an air-tight vault o-ily seventeen feet square was a dan g rous experiment, which faro bank patrons will hardly consent to try Again, ami its disastrous result will be of value in aiding jthe police in tiieir efforts to suppress gambling- ; nari'tt 7ri'iiiititiiifiitf -Host of People are Martyrs To sick headache, that infaUigible Symptom, -of a disordered stomach, Jiver and bove!s, .Many suffer from if as many as three or four times a week.
