"You don't tell ine so !" said "Thorpe "Well, but I've something worse than that. I might as well confess now that the bald place on the top of my head is not really my scalp, I've been trepanned. I have a silver-plated concern set into my skull, a -kind of sky-light. You lift it up and see down on the inside of me." ""I'm glad you mentioned it, my dear," said the widow, "for it gives nie courage to tell you that I have not a hair of my own on my head. I'm as bald as chande lier globe." ' - i - "Is that so ? .

"I'm very sorry for you, John, but it's sonic comfort that all my teeth are false too, and that I am perfectly blind in my right eye. It looks like a good eye, but it absolutely ain't worth a cent." "(ireat Heavens ! Why didn't you tell nie of this before V exclaimed Thorpe "But while we are on this sub ject, I will say further that I have chron ic torpidity of the liver, and that my breast-bone is disjoined so that it slicks out like a chicken's. How does that strike VOU T "0, I don't mind it," said Mrs. Botts, "because I have been bilious and dyspep tic for twenty years ; I have a wen on the, back of my neck, and besides I am one rib short. It was broken in a Itailroad accident, and the doctor had tocutinout. I'm subject to fi ts too." - f "This is horrible," said Thorpe. Mrs. Botts, I think you ought to have mention ed these things to me when I proposed to you. I imagined that I was addressing a womau, a complete .human, creature. But what are you, Mrs. Botts, you appear to me to be a kind of dilapidated old wreck, with not more'n half of the usual machin- er' about yon. It's a wonder to me you don't fal to pieces."

But you seem to be kind of strung together, so's if you should knock against any, thing you'd scatter all around over the carpet. 1 think vou ought to let me off." "Very well, sir, so I will. But let me tell you that I've got nothing the matter with me either. I only invented those stories to fry you, because I knew you were playing a game on me. Now I know you don't love me.

Improved Automatic Gate. William Nairn, Monterey, 111. This is an ingeniously constructed gate, which can le opened and closed by the occupant of a carriage without -requiring his mov ing fi om his seat. A weight on the side to which the passerby comes is raisedBy a cord, then the latch is lifted by a cord, when the" weighton the opposite side of the gate swings it open. After passing through, the weight which opened the gate is raised, which allows the other weight to close it. The Wadesboro Herald says that a man by the name of Wat.

The Lancet does not hejdi tate- to say tliat the practice of gathering neurotic people, at what are politely call ed' mce, ' for the pnrpose-'-of holding- converse with denizens of the spirit world, is so debiliating to the mind and so de bauching to the moral sense that it needs to bo stigmatized in terms at once trench ant and decisive. "To speak plainly, while strong-brained beings may indulge iu tins form of dissipation without more serious consequences than perhaps a trin, fling weakness of memory, minds of less robust mould may suffer severely. Any thing more perilous than the custom of permitting young jersons of either sex to participate in this abuse of mind power it would le deflicult to conceive." Particularly blamable, the Lancet thinks is the President td' the ''Psychological Society" and other patrons and leaders of ''the last new craze." They ought to know better than to give their counte nance and support to a pursuit in which weaker heads are in danger of being turn ed, to their permanent injury. Already mischief, perhaps irreparable mischief, lias been wrought. "Minds that have hitherto done wonderfully well in the world are showing signs of weakness The worry of trying to be quite sure whether there is a force outside the mate rial world, which will bridge over the gulf between the piesentjind the past those who now tread the earth, and those who have passed out of normal sight and hearing is beginning to tell on the men tal strength of some who have been lured into the toils of a psychology, which is no longer a science, because it lias 'cast adrift the principles of Nature and elects to run riot in vain imaginings and idle con ceits." These are hard words, but certain ly neither unjust nor unnecessary. As symptoms of mental degradation, the re cent actions and utterances of several once straightforward and sensible E'nglislj. scholars are surely painful enough to war rant any protest, however forcible, against the encouragement of such unsan itary pursuits and speculations. A TOWN BUILT ON ICE. A corresixiudent of the Detroit Free Press states that the fishcrnien on Saginaw Bay have elected a good-sized town of shanties far out on the ice. The dwellings are of thin wood, lined with thieh build ing japer, and are attached to runners so as to be movable from place to place. The town already boasts a hotel. From this structure, which is larger than any of the dwellings, the view is verjr aston ishing, the shanties dotting the surface of the bay in all directions. The nundK-r is now alMMit 300, and about 30 are arriving and being put up daily. The average number of occupants in each shanty is three men or men and boys, thus making, including the larger buildings and their occupants, not less than 1,000 persons al ready living on the icK There probably will be twice the number on the ice by the tiret of February jjind theycan remain there in safety until the middle of March. Teams are constantly engaged in gather ing together and hauling the lisli thus caught by the men, who lish through holes in the ice, to Bay City, whence they are shipped to all parts of the State. That all these people liud it sufficiently profit able to induce them to brave the perils and hardships attending this adventurous life, is proof that the aggregate revenue of the business must lie quite large.1 Fitly rears ago there wns a publication callel ''The Good Mann- rs Book.'

No one can be more dissatisfied at the result than I am, and those patriotic gentlemen-who supported thejmeasure in Congress. And perhaps it is well enough, to call attention bi ietiy to the condition of the country j. .before the Elec toral Commission bill passed, nnd what would have been the result; if it had hot passed. i . - .-- It is very certain that Tilden was elect ed, but it is equally certain that the Re publican party, sustained by almost the whole of its members, had determined to count the three States of Florida, Louisi ana and South Carolina for Hayes, upon the ground, as they expressed it, that the Republicans wen? not allowed to vote in those Suites. We know tliat this was an excuse for the fraud, but nevertheless it was believed by !a large number, of the people who are members of the Republican party, and served to arouse its determina tion to sustain its leaders. It was a con spiracy gotten up by Chandler and a few other men, but in such proportion and in uch details as commanded the following of the body of the Republican party. The advantage they had was that the Return ing Hoards of those States made their re turns in favor of Haves' election. Whilst you, and I, and all good people believe that these Returning Hoards are political machines, devised and organized lor tne perpetration of Republican fraud and vil- tiny, yet lluyw-arc institutions of the Mates in which they tire existing, clothed with legal authority conferred upon them for the purpose of giving sanction to their venalitv. Under the claim that, the Re turning Boards bf States had given a pri ma facie cast to, Hayes the Senate had de termined to act, and by its authority and power, such as it claimed, declare Hayes e lected, ami installed him in office. To the consumation of so mean an act they were sustained and backed up by the Res ident ol the L nited btares. and all his Cabinet, with all the power of (he govern ment and the entire body of the Republi can party with a lew exceptions. Un the other hand, we know that, lilden was elected, and when the day came for Con gress to count the vote, the struggle would have been lietween the-41ouse and Senate over these three disputed States. The House would have insisted tliat they should. bo counted for Tilden. The Sen ate would have insisted that they should be eounted for Haves. In the absence of any joint rule or agreement each House would have lieen left to act for itself in casenoairreement could have Iwen made and the result Would have been that the Senate would have declared HayeA elect ed. and the House would have elected Tilden. This would have pi-odneed most fearful and dreadful civil war unless one side or the' other had backed down.' Acting from my place,-!.-believed that no civil war would take place. I did not think this at first, but I gradually came to the conclusion when I saw an evident disposition on the part of Northern Dem ocrats to conciliate, compromise and make an agreementof almost any kind, rather than go to warl It is true that the Dem ocrats of Indiana, Illinois and Ohio in Congress were resofute and firm ;"but it is, after all. very dimbtftiHrJrrTher they could have gotten any large portion of their men To have left their woi k at home aud gone out to fight to put any man in office. Nor am I disposed to lielieve that a very large portion of the Republican people desire to fight ; but nevertheless the power of en forcing the decrees of the Senate was more complete than 'if an army on both sides had been raised. For with the whole power of the government sustained by 25,- 000 troojis, a little rellecttoti will show to you that it would have !een but a little while before the old cry of "Rebels! rebels! trying again to destroy the government,'' would have been raised, and we of the South would have been left abme, fight ing again against the whole arm and mw er of the other side.
