MOW INNOCKNT VKUI'LK ARK SOMETIMES roXVKTEIl AMI) IMl'llIKONEI). t'lilciiKu Trilmne. Since tho creation of tho world there has hardly been u crime committed' in which eircutiWancial evidence haa not played n more or lees important part in the detection of its author. That in many eases it has later been discovered innocent people have been made to suffer for the wrong doing of others is well known and occasionally persons aro found who insist that they would not vote to convict a pris oner even if the circ iimstaiicial evidence was very stroug. A lawyer and a doctor were discussing the subject a few days ago, and three illustrations were given in which grave mistakes wuro made. The first will perhaps be remembered by old residents of Chicago, owing to tho wide publicity which the ease obtained. Early one morning a young man crossed the Madison stieet bridge coming to his work iu the business part of the city. At that hour compara lively lew persons were astir, and there was probably no one within half a block of him ill either direction. Near the bridge there was a vacant space which led back to the river. The young man saw lying there, near the sidewalk, a pocketbook and picked it up. At ihat instant he hear! a pistol shot. While he was staudiug there, with the pockctbo ik in his hand, an officer and a 'number of citizens gathered n rouml him, having lu ard the report. Rack near lliu river they found a man in the lino of death, with a bullet hole ill his head. t)n his person were found letters bearing his uame and address. The young man was asked to show the pocketbook seen in his hand, and to his horror it con tained cards bearing ihe same inscription as the Idlers. He endeavored to explain how the propirly of Ihe dead man came into his possession, but he was not believed, and was locked up charged with murder and robbery. Ill a few weeks the case came to trial and (he young man told his'Btorybut it had no Weight against the damaging tes timony of half a dozen witnesses for the prosecution, who had seen the pocketbook in bis possession the morning of the mur der. There was uot a doubt entertained by any person in the court room as to the prisoners gnilt, and all that seemed yet to be done waa for the lawyers to make their arguments, the jary to convict, and the judge to impose 'Uteuce. ' Rut there Waa one witness yet to be heard who was hut expected by either side. A stranger who had hastily entered the room announced that he had just arrived in die city and bud something to say which must he heard, as il was of the greatest importance, lie was shown into the witness box. He said he was a brother of the dead man aud that he lived in Iowa. He feared that a great wrong was about lo be d .lie to an innoeeut mau, and had come to prevent it. What ho widied 1 1 do was lo present in evidence a letter ho hail received from his brother, writleu the evcuim: bolore his bodv was found. A bivnl bless silence en. sued, as ill a clt ar voice he read hw the whole all'iir h id b -eii planned by the one who waa now do id, how he had decided to end Ii'h eii.tenee in such a manner llint the insurance companies would raise no ob jection to paying the lull amount of ihe risks on hit l ie lo his family and brother; how he was to pl.ict bis pocketbook in the alley designated, where he could lie down some distance a'.iay, ci.J ulo lu l,,,u!l see it picked up thai would ba the signal for firing Ihe fatal shot; how a stout coril would be tied to the revolver, nitached to the oilier end of which would he a stone of Biiffoieut weight to drag Ihe weapon in to the river as soon as it had donu its fatal work and been rchtsaed t'ro.n his grasp. Such was the nminer of the death of the brother uf the stranger, and he could not be silent without morally being the murder er of the yoiin; man whom they were at tempting to convict. Then lollowed a seal eh in the river at tho spot where the tragedy was enacted, resulting iu the lo Tolver, siring aud stmio being fished up, confirming the conspiracy shown in the letter. ( f course the risoncr was released. Senator Edmunds will not speak to William E. Chandler, hut he will vote with him. He does uot consider Chandler a gentleman, but a Republican.

MI11 VI VII'.H l.Ot I'. HTUItltM. A young German carpenter was married to a pretty Rohcmian gill in Omaha the other day after a six months' courtship which must have been conducted entirely in pantomlno, as neither can speak a word of the other's language. The services of an interpreter were needed at the altar, but the young couple seemed as happy as if they had talked sweet nothings into each other's cars all their lifetime. Sam Peters is a good-looking young ne gro, who has been hauling watermelons into Quitman, (in , from his master's farm in lirooks county. On the way he always kept a sharp lookout for a pretty yellow girl who sou, climes flirted with him from the roadside. Last Monday, as he wus passing her house, she. cried, "Wiff I had one of dem tire watcrmillions." Sam said he would give her the biggest one in the lot if she would ride into with him, and she accepted. Ry the time they had reached town Mam had persuaded her to marry him; a preacher was hunted up and the knot was tied. A romantic wedding took place at Ed wardsville, Illinois, the other day, when Prof. James G. Duncan, of Vnndaliu, a widower, was married to Mrs. Lillie Car roll, of Springfield, a widow. The mar riage was the culmination of a scries of coincidences in the lives of the wedded pair. The Rev. J. R. Thompson, who performed the ceremony, officiated in the same capacity at Prof. Duncan's first mar riage, aud also ut Mrs. Carroll's first mar riage, and preached the funeral sermon ut the death of Prof. Duncan's wife uud at the death of Mrs. Carroll's husband. It was this strange fatality of circumstances which induced tho couple to seek again the services of Mr. Thompson. A pretty Nebraska widow, who had en soared tho affections of many respectable farmers livinjj near Wynian, was reccutlj ordered to leave the country by a band uf "regulators," under penalty of a coat of tar aud feathers. Nothiug daunted hvthe threat the widow bought a double-barrel shotgun Uud awaited developments. U hen the regulators approached tlie house to carry out their threat, the sight of aloaded gnu poiuled from ouc uf the windows de terred them, uud one ol (he number, iu ad miraiiou of the woman's pluck, advanced under a flag of truce, proposed uiuniage, aud was accepted on Hie spot. Then a parsou was culled ill, the marriage was cel ebrated, and the night woundup wilh a round of festivities. Henry Wytin, a bachelor from the West who was recently visiting his brother at Owen Sound, Out , expressed the decile one day to get married before his return. The day of bis departure had already been set, and lo expedite mat tell he offered his brother's wife a deed lo fifty acres of land if she wou'd get him a wile by the Satin- liny following ihfl date of thenff'-r. After exploring the town without success f'oi sev eral days, on Ei iday Mrs. Wynn met a Miss Melrose, who wos willing to accept the offer. She was unreduced to her prospective husband on Saturday evening just before ihe boat was leaving. A eon sultatlou was held, the pair was married on the spot, Mrs. Wynn was handed over the deed for the fifty acres of land and the bride and groom steamed away for their prairie home. A HI:AI.IM IC MKillT. Sam Johnsitig, an Austin, Texas, Color ed man, was hired by the celebration com mittee to touch off tho fireworks. The day after the Fourth Parson Whailgdoodlc Baxter, of the Blue Light Tabernacle, hap pening to call at Ihe Johnsigg mansiou, the latter saiJ bauteringly: "Did you see thcreworka last night, parson?" "I did, Mr. Johusing." ' I reckon, pars in, dat ar risl fire an' de yellen' ob de crowd sorter ten iiijed yer ob dat hell yer preach so much about." Hit did, Mr. Jobnsiug, fur a fao' perticulerly when I soed yer in de middle ob dc flames." Texas Sfjiingt. WHERE IS HEAVEN. This singular question was put to Sara Jones, the evangelist, by one of wealthy church members, in Georgia, whose cotton crop yielded liim some 820,0011 last year. "Where Is Heaven?" said the rich planter. 1 I II tell you wln re heaven is," said Mr, Junes. ' If you will go down lo the vil lage and buy fifty dollars worlh of grocer ies, put them in a wagon and lake theni to the poor widow on the hillside, who has three of her children sick. She is poor and a member of the church. Take with you .1 nurse and some one to cook their meals. When you get there read l'snliu xxiii, and kneel by her bedside and pray. Then you will find out where heaven is." Next day, as the evangelist walked through the village, he met the same wealthy planter, his face beaming with joy. He spoke after this manner: Mr. Jones, I have found out where Heaven is. I weut and did us you directed. We took up the wagon load of groceries, and the widow was completely overcome with joy; she could not express her thank fulness. As I rend the 2:ird psalm my heart was filled with thankfulness to God, and when I prayed the angels cumc down, and I thought I was nearer heaven than I had ever been before in my life. I left the nurse aud cook in the humble dwell ing, aud promised that she should never suffer us long as I could help her." HEmTcCED HER. William Cowlea took Miss Wiseman to church in Ilith township, near Cnrydon, I nd., lust Sunday night. During the ser mon he put his arms about the young lady as a beau docs on a Chicago street cur, uml the deacons of tho church piped him off that is, they saw him in the act. Miss Wiseman leaned back ngainst the bench and found its back h as hard. The deacons going beforo the honorable Court of common pleas at Corydon, Ihe seat of Harrison county, have brought suit against William Cowlcsfor hugging his girl in meeting. Upon u call ol the docket, on Thursday, it was discovered that the farm ers were in the midst of harvest, and that the Slate would suffer more if the sheavis were not garnered than it would if William continues to hug his girl. The honorable court, therefore, postponed this momentous action at law until such time as twelve jurors couid he summoned, who niiirht give the cause a hearing without keeping one eye on the weather. Every day ihe liberties of the young are more and more infringed upon Just think of a fellow's being jailed for the pleasant diversion of hugging a girl, and his owu sweetheart at that. Now if it had been somebody else's sweetheart it would have been right to have jailed him. but his own, never. AX KDITOIfS TKIHlliATIOX.

This eastern boom -I mean the boom made by eastern '.people with money has started up some of the old dead industries of California. With the easy progress of civilization the good old industry of lying hud almost died out. It got discouraged, and so many wonderful things had hap pened elsewhere that it was hard for Ihe imagination to meet the necessities. It was easier lo give up lying to strangers al together, for even the most untriivelled easterner could ring the lull on the Cali fornia guide or stage driver. These gen try are now awakening from their lethargy and beginning lo make the Vosemite and other trips lively. A friend of mine from the East has just come back from the Vosemite and relates his expeneuce. The stage driver found out that he was se riously ufraid of snakes, and immediately proceeded to make his hair stand on end. "Venomous reptiles? You bet. I don't know what reptiles is, hut Ilium snakes vou can just bet your life is venomous. Why, ony day I was a cumin' down here drivin' a wagou when I catches sight of a snake in the brush, all ready for a spring. My horses starts an' 1 whips 'cm up fust to clear the snake, don't you see, aforo he could spring. Ho makes one clear spring, the snake docs, au' he misses the horses." ' That was lucky but you you " "Lucky! Vou bet your life it was lucky. He missed the horses, the snake did, but he stuck his fuDgs clean through the wngon." "Vou duu't say!" "I do say, and mebbe you won't believe it, a lac,' ho stuck his fangs clean through that wagon, an' that wagon it swelled all up so bad that we had to leave it by the wayside an' take the horses home." HINTS AND SUGGESTIONS. If salt is sprinkled around the edges of a carpet, when on the floor, it will keep away mollis. e White paint that has become discolored may be nicely cleaned by using u little whiiing in the water while washing. rianuels should bo washed in hot soap suds and rinsed in hot water containing soap enough to soften it u little. Starched shirts will iron easier if you let them dry after Nlarchiiig, so you will have to sprinkle before ironiug. Never wet the hair if you have any len iency to deafness; wear on oil silk cup when bathing, refrain from diving. A piece uf pointed whale bone or pine wood is uice to clean out corners. Wash your windows with a sponge and polish wilh tUsuc paper. Clean lump chimneys by holding them over tho spout of a ten kettle of boiling water, ihen wipe wilh a clean cloth. It will make them beautifully clean. Perhaps the reason of Boston's cultured people growing wild over Queen Kapioluni was because her skin is about the color of baked beans, rhiimknhr. It is said if feather beds and pillows bo left out in a drenching ruin cveiy spring, and afterwards exposed to the sun and nil on evciy side uutil dry, tiny will be much freshened and lightened. To keep cut flowers fresh for several days, fill a vase with clean sand; then add a liberal supply of charcoal. Imbed tho the stems of the bouquet iu this; water oc casionally. Chicago hilrr-Unan: The Cur of all the Russias would give ulmcit half of his Empire to bo able to skip out aud go fish ing with his wife like the President of the United Slates. Never pour milk, fat or oily substances into the ear for tho relief of pain, for they will soon become rancid and lead to itifiam matioii. Simply warm water will answer Ihe purKse bi tter than anything else. Silver becoming black may bu avoided by keeping that which is not often used in cauten flanuel bugs, with small bags about tho site uf a thimble filled fill with bits uf gum camphor packed in around the articles. h'or mildew, pour a quart of Iwiling wr ier on an ounce of chloride of lime. When it is dissolved add three quarts of cold wuter. Into Ibis put the garment and let it soak fur twelvo hours. If not very bad the spots will ooiiio out in less time. A HKRMO BY A PKAIr BOY. The still form of a little boy lay in the coffin, surrounded by mourning friends. A mason came into the room and asked to look at the lovely fuiv. ' You wonder llial I care so much," he said, aa the tears rolled down his cheeks. "One time I was coming down by a long ladder from a high roof, and found your litllo boy stand ing close beside mo when I reached the ground. He looked up into my face with childish Wonder, and asked frankly : 'Weren't you afraid of falling when you were up to high?' aad, beforo I had limo to answer, he said : 'Oh, I know why you arc not afraid; yo said your prayers this morning before you began work I' I had not piayed, but I never forgot te pray from that day to this." HOME INFLUENCE. Home! It's a theme llial could be dwell on indcliuitoly; and well can the wanderer uy: ''Long, be my mind witli such inemoiies tilled, As the use wliteli roses have once lieen lis lilled; Vou may break, you muy shatter the vu-sc 11 you will, Vet tlie scent of Ihn roses will cling round it still," l''ew of us can withstand the influence of home. It should he the youth's ideu of purity his father just and honorable his mother iiugeli", and his sisters sweet and amiable. The woman that a mau, bionght up among ladies, chooses for his wife is sure to bo a lady. Sho may bo of lowly estate uud humble origin, yet she will be refined. He has had his model al ways before him. His tuste has been fashioned instinctively by the fact that his mother and sisters are rcfiind aud have all the uecessary elements in their natures that go to make up the perfect la dy. His conduct through life will lie bet ter for the. influence uf a refined home One fact that pareuts ought to realize is, that it is as much a part of their duty to provide cheerful, happy homes for their children us it is to educate them. If they arc to leuru that there are unhappy mar riages in the world, that there aro quar relsome and discontented people in it also they should at least not learn it from the example of their parents. The mother should not be the one to initiate her son into the wiles of a coqoctle, by her extrav- ogant dress and artificial ways. How can ha bo expected to choose u good wife when the conduct of his sisters teaches him that women are shallow, vain and conceited? It is because of such training as tl.is so many men's lives are failures. The wo man is greatly to be commended who selects for her husband the man who di sires his home f r rest. It is the man with many .n'ercsts cud engrossing occupation, the man with a place o maintain in the world who enjoys home the most. MMlllUlii; Ml IMoKMITI'IOK.

Tim alarming tliseasH of tltia country iit nui'vous duliility and prostration. It goc under ninny Hitmen but it in i-sshii. tittlly tli flume complaint. Hospitals ami private institu tion for nervous patients are crowded. The average of life in the United Mutes w tie creiwing every year. Sudden deaths from nervous collapse among our business, profess ional nnd public men are so freijiieut as scarcely to excite remark. The majority of sui cides, committed without ap parent reason, or under so-called "depression of spirits," are really prompted fy nervous prostration, which in a fruitful source of insanity nnd crime with all their grief and horror. These facts are startling. They threaten the very life of the nation. They assail the springs of its power and pros perity. Th'-y wreck manhood's strength anil woman's useful ness and beauty, Every one should know the causes. What are they ? The answer is easy and terribly plain: Our vicious personal habits ; our careless anil lawless eating and drinking; the in tense mental and physical strain arising from our mad race after money, jiosition and influence; the fears and struggles of pov erty ; the use of narcotics and stimulants; our fashion of turning day into night and night into day; and, briefly, our desperate willingness to pay any price for an hour's pleasure or tweeess. So we burn life's candit at both ends nnd till the luimtic asylums and the graveyards. The disease from which we suffer ami die is, in plain Eng lish, Xrrroii lhjjtcjMtt, as it is seated iu the Nerves aud in the organs of Digestion, Assim ilation and Nutrition. Healthy digestion being impeded or des troyed, the whole nody, nerves' included, is (itenilh starved; even when there is no emaci ation to tell the sad tory. Nervous prostration sends out iu warnings: headache in the morning; a persistent dull heaviness or aching at the base of the brain ; waket illness ; loss of appetite and disgust with food ; loss of mental energy and interest iu ordinary duties and business; restlessness and anx iety without any assignable reason; eructations ; bad breath; foul mucous on the teeth ; occasional giddiness ; palpitation of the Heart; sal lowness of the skin; coated tongue and gradual failure of strength and Ambition The remedy is a total aban donment of the habits and cus toms which cause the disease in each individual case and the use of Shaker Extract of Roots (Seigel's Syrup to cure the mischief already done. This great remedy, prepared by the Shaker Community of Mt. Leb anon, N. Y., is especially adapt ed to eradicate Nervous Dys pepsia. To do this it acts directly and gently but power fully upon the d'lKOiilered stom ach, liver and kidneys, restor ing their tone and vigor, pro moting the secretion of bile, ex peHing waste matters from the system.and purifying the blood. I'tMi the nervoun system Shalwr A'.Tcrficf(Seiger8Syrup) acts as a wife aud wholesome anodyne without the slijhtcit narcotic effect, and then leaves the nerves to regain their nat ural tone and strength through its wonderful influence upo the function of nutrition. It is safe to say more nerv ous dyspeptics have been re stored by it from the depths of misery to a fresh enjoyiuejnt of life and labor than by ny or all other foxma of trejiiuent combined. . .-.
