A New York fashion writer

The barrooms of Texas are required by law to be closed from 9

Hartford, Caan. The Legislature is about attempting to force all railroad companies to provide conplen that will work withont a man betweea the cars, and the Commissioners, to whom the matter was referred, invited this unique compe-
knowledgement that lie owed him 130, and soon after, when McLean Shaw's name was called, the prisoner said quickly, "I haven't seen Mr. Shaw fer several years. I'm glad to see him. I owe him $50,"

It is a circus to see aa editor with a five-
dollar bill, a ciear conscience, and a ckan shirt. Such sights are reserved tor the fa
vored iew. It is a circus to see s pretty eirl with no
paint or whitewash on her face, and no
tunny Busmen tn her nair.
It is a circus to aee a politician who
does not claim to love every man of bis
consmuency setter titan ne loves sour
mash, and who win not sell himself for
a reasonable check.
It is a circus to see a business man who gets rich and wean himself out in the service of bis customers without advertising. It is a circus to see a business man
asleep in front of his door, no customers inside, and a double column advert issmont in his home paper. It is a circus to see a highly moral man approve of "clean literature' in a county newspaper, and the very next moment gobble and swallow low-necked slander and short-skirted gossip by the car-load in the Cincinnati Snqnirer. This is the
commonest kind of a circus.

The following clipped from the SoUiarf ef December 6, 1861,
is self explanatory : A rare natho
locks! spedmeo was praseated to-
the Indiana Medical College yesterday evening by Dr. H. B. Lowder, of BsoomfMM. which was taken
from the body of ttorad-Dorries at
nose oMrtem some time since.
The specimen consisted of the en
tire homan stomach, badly diseased. Dr. Lowder briefly described tbe
ooryJttioo of the organ, withont ex
Bremtas? anv opinion as to toe na
ture of tbe disease; after which Professor Harvey spoke at length ia regard to tbe specimen, and pronounced it esnceroua, stating that tbere was no doubt but that the patfent's death was caused by cancer af tlttvafswtaeh. Guiteau's trial has developed, in Ha latest stsge, into a convoea-

Nashville Jacksonian : A few
weeks since as James Rogers
and Justus Morse were on their
way to Bloomingtoa their attention was attracted to what seemed to be a large black snake. Morse says to Rogew, "What does that mean? A snake with no head and two tails P' On examination it was discovered that a snake about four feet and a half in length was swallow

tbe same species, and bad succeeded in swallowing it about eighteen i aches. The 4 foot snake was evdently laying in his winter's supply of "grab." The snakes were killed on the spot.

Nearly all tbe medical journ
als and and scientific societies favor cremation and yet but few corpses
are cremated. A here eeems to be
something in the idea at which hu
manity rebels. Call it superstition, a false religion that teaches of a physical, bodily resurrection, or what not, the fact remains that however much we may theorize and urge others to practice it, when it comes to cremating our own dead we falter. It will take long years and persistent agitation to accomplish the adoption of that system oi'
disposing of the remians of the dead. If large hospitals and pub
lic bodies of every kind would
adopt it, their example would help
to familiarize tbe public with tbe custom. In this way it might, after awhile, come into general use.
