JSt. at tecund-ciau matter. x irrEEN rears aero a depositor in the SI., drew some ruouoy, and as the bill, it was suspected that the deposi tor had been overpaid. He denied the Accusation, but suspicion attached to him until the other day, when a car penter, tearing apart an old counter iu the bank, found a mouse's nest, and in it the missing bill only a little muti lated. A Savannah banker says that in tho western part of North Carolina there are several counties amid almost inac cessible mountains of which there is as little known to the outside world as there is of Central Africa. No rail roads penetrate this region. The na tives have no idea of morality, live in a manner little above the lowest brutes And have absolutely no knowledge of the world outside their own communi ties. Polygamy is practiced with shameless openness and marriage cer emonies are rare. The pupils of American schooli will shudder at the thought of Bismarck's period of study, when, as he said re cently, that he had at school to work thirteen hours a day. It gave him no time to keep up his music, though he was and is, he declares, fond of it "above everything, especially Bee thoven. It is true I am not the man to take a ticket in order to sit and listen to music on a nanow seat, but I have always liked music at home. Up to my thirties, when I made the ac quaintance of my very musical life, I always regretted that I could not keep the mus-ic hour iu my plan of lessons." A gentleman from the West, spend ing a few days in Washington, called on his Congressman, who is also his townsman. The conversation turning upon hoi"e matters and home people, the constituent asked if it was true that Mr. , a department clerk from their county, was going to marry an heiress. The Congressman taid the engagement had been announced. "Is it a love-match?" asked the constitu ent; "or is he going to marry her for money?" "Going to marry her for her money, of course," answered the Con gressman; "and he makes no secret of it, either. I heard him speak of her as his financee right out in a crowd the other day." "I've often thought of you newspa per editors," said a well-known Detroit clergyman, "when some dav not feel ing especially in the mood, I found it exceedingly difficult to evolve my ser mon. It ha been and is still some thing of a mystery how on so short a notice as often happens, an editor will turn out a clvar, emphatic, and effica cious editorial which has the merit also of brevity and elegance. I know, by experience, that it is fairly easy to write acceptably when not limited by space, but what puzzles me is how ed itors set their ideas down so well and so completely in from two to six inches of space. I suppose it's all a matter of training and natural selection." Many years ago, a French gentle- ' man was invited to 5-o'clock tea at Bath, where the guests sat around the room in a stiff circle, holding their 1 teaenps in their left hands and eating hot-buttered waffles and chipped smoked venison with the fingers of their riit, from plates in their laps. Waiters handed abont tea and coffee, and the French gentleman, unaware that the position of the teaspoon in the empty onp returned to the waiter indicated whether or not it was to be replenished, politely drank fourteen cups of tea, and then, in de 'spair. pocketed the cup and sauoer, until the general rising of the com pany enabled him to rid himself of them. When a young man, the late Charles Bradlaugh was a strong believer in Christianity, and a member of a Bible class in the parish Sunday school. While thus studying the Bible, he ; came across one or two apparent con tradictions, and went to the rector for light.. But the rector was a stern man v of the old school, and, instead of help r ing the young man out of his difficulty, rebuked him severely for daring to find . any difficulty in God's book, and ad f vised him to believe everything he read in it without asking any questions. The advice was well meant, but it was the worst that could have been given in this-particular ease. The young man at once quit studying the Bible or believing in it, and the rest of his ca reer ia known to the world. ZHX BLTTE LAWS. Choice Hforsals From Ancient Colo nlal Code. " There has been some tense and a great deal of nonsense written about the "Blue Laws" of Connecticut, which some writers say were borrowed from the col ony of Massachusetts Bay, the laws of the colony being "blue" enough for any use. Most of these laws were enacted prior to 1640, a fact which will, to some extent, help to mitigate their severity. Below will be found some of the choice morsels from this old code : "No woman shall kiss her children ou the Sabbath or upon fasting days. No one sha 1 run on the Sabbath day, or walk, except rev erently to and fro in his garden. No one shall buy or sell land without permission of the Selectmen. A debtor in prison swearing he has no estate, shall be let and sold to make satisfaction. Whoso ever settrth a tire in the woods and that fire burns a house, shall be put to death for the crime. Whosoever shall briug cards or dice into this dominion the same shall be fined 3. No one can bo a freeman or vote unless he be converted and a member in full connection with n church. No food or shelter shall be of fered a Quaker, Adamite or other here tic. No Catholic priest shall be allowed to abide in this dominion. No one shall cross a river with anyone but an author ized ferryman." The following selections are from the Colonial records of Massachusetts, all of them being laws euueted prior to the establishment of the " Body of Liber ties" in 1640: "October, 1832 It is ordered: That noe person shall take tobacco publiquely under penalty of 2s. 6d. nor privately in his own house, or the house of another, before sti angers, aud that two or more shall not take it together, anywhere, un der the aforesaid penalty for every offense.-' In November, 1687, the records do creed that "all former laws aninst to bacco are repealed, and tobacco set at liberty." After it was "set at liberty" the people seem to have overindulged iu the soothing weed, for the next year we read in the order of the General Court that "finding that since the repeal of the laws against tobacco it is mora abused than before, tho court therefore orders that no man shall take any tobacco in the fields, except on a journey, or at meal times, under a paine of a tine of 12d. for every ollence ; nor shall he take any to bacco in or near any dwelling house, barne, corue or hay-rick as may likely endanger the tiring thereof; nor shall be take tobacco while stopping at any inn where the muster thereof may take offence at the same." Swearing al!o had its drawbacks in those good old days, as may bo seen from the following, taken from the Massachu setts Hecords of September, 16;S6: " Robt. Shrotehose, for swearing 'by the bloud of God,' was sentenced to have his tongue put in a clyft stick and to stande so by the space of haulfo an hour." Virginia, not to bo outdone in the "Blue Law" line, enacted a few of her own. Here is a sample taken at random : "What man or woman soever who shall rob any garden, being set to weed the same, or willfully pluck up any root, herb or flower, to spoil, waste or steal the same, or shall pluck grapes or steal ears of corn growing in the field, the same shall be punished with death." St. Louis Republic. Concerning CoaL. "The power of a tuition in this ac of steiim depend on two mineral products within its national I oundnries," l'lof. I5i( kmore said, "and those minerals arc not the precious gold and silver, but the common iron and coul. The United states is blessed in this particular. It has 100,000 square milts of coal beds, of which 100,000 square miles may be easily worked. To ;et an idea of the probably inexhaustible supply, compare America with England. Some years npo an in vestigation was made to ascertain how long the supply of coal would last in that country. The drain upon the mines there is not alone for the manufacturing iu Sheffield, Manchester, London, and the other cities, but English coal is ex ported to far-away countries. ''In iS?4 the output of the mines of the world was 000,000,000 tons, of which England furnished 12.), 000,000 tons, or about one-half. Investigation showed that the supply, within 4,000 feet of the surface which was available, was so great that at this average of 125, 000,000 tons a year it would not be exhausted for 1,120 years. England has a coal area of 12, 000 square miles, while in the United States the area is 120,000, or ten times as trreat. Consenuentlv. if one-half the output for the world were to come from mines in this country, at the rate of con sumption when the investigation was made, the supply would last 11,200 years. But it has been found that as the world grows the consumption of coal increases in a geometric ratio, so that this period cannot be counted on as the time when the supply will be ex hausted. It is enough to say that the supply in the United States is practically inexhaustible, and that as a coal-producing country the United States is without a rival." New York Times. 'It Cannot Be." The following is from the pen of Georgo D. Prentice: "It cannot be that earth is man's abiding place. It cannot be that our life is a mere bubble-, cast up by eternity to float a moment on its waves and then sink into nothingness. Else why is it that tho glorious aspirations which leap like angels from the temple of one's heart are ever wandering unsat isfied? Why is it the stars which hold their festival around the midnight throne, are set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory) And, finally, why is it that bright forms of human beauty presented to our view are taken from us, leaving the thousnnd streams of affection to flow back in Alpine torrents upon our hearts? There is a realm where the rain bow never fades; where the stars will be spread out before us like the islands that slumber in tho ocean: and where the beautiful beings rhich psss before us like shadows will stay in our presence foreran" ;'' 'i:;V:':i: A.GREATBAB&AINI 327 ACRES WILL BI SOLD AT A GREAT SACRIFICE!

Truth A trout atnnog-rnpnwra. 1 am almost ashamed to tell people I belong to the profession, there has been so much raid and written about the 'fair typewriters,'" said a steno grapher to a New York Herald reporter. "The comic papers make pictures of them aud in the newspapers nearly every day there appears some squib re flecting on women who get their living as stenographers and typewriters. From my experience, and I have had consid erable, most of this is mere trash. Men who hire stenographers usually have plenty for them to do, and I have never teen a man yet who bronght any woman nonsense in conflict with his business. I know quite a number of girls who are doing this work, and their experience is just like mine. "I once lost a good job because tho wife of the man who wanted a steno grapher had made him promise he would not employ a lady. She had been read ing all this rot in the newspapers, and had naturally come to the conclusion that we formed a dangerous class. A woman with a husband like that ought to chain him up so she will know where lin in. Mnn in antivn business life as a ! rae 8Ubordinat9 everything else to their business. Any disposition of a female employe to encourage flirtation on the part of himself or bis clerks, or even his office boy, would meet with a pretty prompt dismissal. On the other hand, a woman who works hard and earns whatever salary she gets is usually too independent to tolerate any familiarity on the part of those with whom she is thrown n lnjnMa OftntnoL" A Wee Ethical Qnestlon.
