Harriet Thirsteth For a Divorce. Hattie Cory Miller has entered suit in the circuit court for a divorce from W. Harry Miller of the Ben Hur tableaux combination. Hattie states that it was b.tck in the halcyon days of '89 when she and handsome Harry plighted their troth and were marrried with all due pomp atad ceremony bj un adjacent 'Sqnire. Merrily rang bells and tho full blown roses nodded in the soft June zcphj vs as they passed out to that old iife which is the new. Merrily ran tho days away until the bread and meat was gone and the living question of where to get more arose. Harrj was never much of a selection the current
mathematician anyway and whon his blooming bride flourished an empty flour sack in his face and presented the question for solution, he ignominiously flanked. When Hattie's shoes wore out he volunteered the information that there were plenty more whore those came from but failed to suggest any method for their conveyance to Harriet. He was the same, in all things and wholly failed to provide. Along in January a year ago they parted and haven't lived together since. Harriet thinks her mothir, Mary Cory, would be a proper person to have the care and custody of the child, Master Edward Miller, and prays for a divorce and her maiden name. What is one man's loss is another man's gain and what is one man's meat is another man's poison.
Unpleasantness at New .Richmond, The Eastern exchange for the New Richmond bank failed to arrive there ast Saturday aud consequently the bank was short on Monday. The people who presented checks were told by the cashier that they would have to wait until the train came. This caused some inconvenience, naturally, and as was eminently proper in New Richmond, some little profanity. They do know how to swear out in that neighborhood, and never Einoe the days when the lamented New Richmond Times made its weekly appearance with a choice budget of criticisms, has tlie air been so deeply, d'irkly heavenly blue as it was l.iBt Monday. Some evilly disposed persons were inclined to criticise the bank officials and the whole thing had a climax when Mr. McCardle, the s'ock buyer, walked into tho drug store of Dr. Holland and was accused by him of trying to blast the fair reputation of the bank. Mr. McCardle's blood arose like the price of pork, and, utterine a wild
whoop he proceed to annihilate the pill vender. He did it, too, and so aroused public sentiment that the whola town took a hand and until the train arrived, with the awaited money every able bodied man in the place was engaged in shedding blood both actively and pns sively.
Card Party.
Mr. and Mrp. Gits Trnitt entertained a large company of friendB last evening at a progressive card party. The evening was very delightfully spent by those present and a sumptuous repast added not a little to the oujoyment of the affair. The first prizes were won by Mrs. George Abraham and Otto Carlson, the seconds by Mrs. Charles Gould and Newt Miller. The affair was in all points a succes and reflected great credit upon the entertainers.

A Deserved Enooaium.
We are pleased to anuoanoe that the Hon. Maurice Thompson has been selected as the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa poet this year. This iB quite a distinquished honor, not only to the gentleman himself but also to our commonwealth. On the shaky principal perhaps that nothing good comes out of
the wedding Nazareth, western men have been, to a bluohing large extent, ignored on these occaeions by eastern institutions. Ignorant of tha culture and literature of Indiana and the attainments of its poots, authors and writers, tho State has been overlooked. In referring to Mr. Thompson's issue of Harper's
Weekly says: Mr. Matinee Thompson is to be the *1 TK: T......
Harvard Phi Beta Kappa poet this year, and Gon. Francis A. Wf.lkw, of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, is the chosen orator. To be invited Ufpronounce the Harvard Phi Beta Kappa poem is thcAuwricau distinction which seems to bear closest analogy to carrying off the annual piize for poetry at Oxford. Most of the recent Phi Beta Kappa poets have been products and representatives of the effete East, and have been possibly rather distinguished tor general culture than notorious for a demonstrated ability to compose marketable verse. It is a matlor for congratulation that this year the society has reached out into the woolly West and got an untrammelea bard of a fresh type. It is to be hoped ami expected tli it Mr. Thompson will give it &ueh abundant encouragement iu this new de part are as to incite its committee to open negotiations with such other western masters a? Eugene Field and Whitcomb Riley. "The Woolly West" is a misnomt so far as Indiana is referred to. The woolly West is now nearer the setting snn, and as too far west is east the searcher after locality may perhaps find it now nearer the Atlantic seaboard.— Indianapolis Sentinel.
SHE HAD A SMALL CAPITAL.
the
Dot It Was liljj Enough to Give Widow a Start In I4fe. Mrs. K. was left a widow with tiro or three children. One of them died another, a dnusrhtcr, married a man that soon left, licr so that tho mother had to provide for the grandchild as well as her own family. This was difficult, and soon the stock of supplies got low, and there was no money in the house, on which, also, a mortgage had to be met, says the Boston Advertiser.
One day the 6on, a schoolboy, came Into say that Miss J., a neighbor, rather noted for being "close," had given him five cents for shutting her cellar door. This five cents seems to havs been the only capital of the widow and her little family, though I suppose she might have obtained more had she made her condition known to her prosperous i/eighbors. That would have injured the story, however, and I am glad that she did not get the loan, but invested her son's earnings in popcorn, as she by inspiration did'.
With some molasses she had left in the jug the citrn was soon made into fifteen of those sticky but enticing cornballs which have coaxed many a copper out of a schoolboy's pocket. The town school was close by, and before noon they were all sold for a cent apiece, and the little capital trebled. "Quick returns and large profits" was the maxim of this merchant, which seems to have worked well in this instance. At any rate, after fourteen years of trado in the village of Plymouth, at the old stand, Mrs. K. is now the owner of her own house, without a mortgage has money in the bank has educated her children (her grandson is now fourteen years old), and has very much increased the variety of her merchandise,
NO NAME TO CONJURE BY.
United States Malt Had to Give Way to a Big Teamster. '•'Yes, I have some funny experiences on the road," said a New York drummer, just in from a trip through Texas and Mexico, to a New York Recorder man. "Not long ago was goinff from Eddy to Roswell, N. M., on the stage coach, myself and the driver being all on board. We met a great many teamsters loaded with goods from the railroad towns for the interiors, and I noticed that every one of them made the stage give the road. I asked the driver what made him do it, telling him that the law requires everything else to give the right of way to the United States mail. 'Now,' I said, 'the next wagon we meet you keep the road and I'll do tho talking.' 'All right, boss, ef yoii say so,' he answered, smiling peculiarly. "Well, we met the next wagon at a very bad place in the road, and the driver, obeying my instructions, stopped.
I put my head out of the coach and called out to the teamster in front of us that ho must turn out, as this was Uncle Sam's mail. 'The teamster went down into his wagon box and, whipping out a big Colt's revolver, said: 'Looky here, young man, I'll have you to know that this ain't no kintry uv plug hats, an' that Uncle Sam don't travel this road an' ef he did by hokey he'd haf to give the road when he carried the lightest load! Now, I'll give you jist one minit to get out'n my way!'" "Well?" asked the listener, seeing tho narrator pause, "what did you do?"
The drummer smiled. "We got," he answered, "and had thirty seconds to sparo."

JURY SYSTEM IN FRANCE.
An AiiHtrnlian Knllot l'lmi Obftci-Teil Whil* a Verdict Is ISclng Itc&rhed. The assize court, is composed of an assize judge and two assistant judges, according to the North American Review. The jury are seated in the courtroom to the right of the judge. They have no special costume, but wear their ordinary dress. Sometimes they appear in blouses. The prisoner faccs the jury. They ask no direct questions, but may interrogate the prisoner or witnesses, through tho judye, on any point likely to afford them information, and may also demand to see all articles offered in evidence by the public prosecutor to prove the prisoner's g-uilt- They hear the argument of the public prosecutor, who pleads for the indictment which he has prepared, and then those of the defense, and form a truly enlightened opinion from the depositions of the wit•iiesseb on both shies. When the trial is concluded the judge, in the presence of the court, reads,to the jury the questions which are submitted to them and reminds them of the duties which tliey are to perform. In the center of the room is a long table with six separate partitions or boxes on each side. At the head of the table is a box for the foreman, containing a wooden urn.
From the moment the jury enter this room they are alone. The foreman puts the questions to them and they discuss them. The jury is -lsuaUj- divided into two almost equal c:raps. There are the indulgent ones, who answer the most incontrovertible evidence with the everlasting "What does that prove?" and there are those who, even when the crime is but ill-proved, declare that society must be rid of such people." The foreman finds it hard to seize the opportune moment when the jury are almost agreed in their readiness or reluctance to vote one way or the other. Then he states the question anew. The jurymen seat themselves at the table, each in his box, where he cannot see what his neighbors write. One by one they rise and place their folded ballots in the urn. The form of the ballot is: 'Upon my honor and my conscience I declare that," eto.
CHINESE RAILROAD OFFICERS.
More Interest In Velvet and Varnish Than in the Science of Railroading:. The Chinese officials on the railway are the nominally responsible, parties, and they are Chinese officials, a term which to anyone who has lived long in China sums up nearly all that can be said about them, says Macmillan's Magazine. The railway in all its parts and stages is to them a strange and inscrutable thing, whose mysteries they are slower to learn than their uneducated fellow-countrymen, owing to their minds being already saturated with a kind of lore which has no points of contact with the novelties introduced by the troublesome foreign devils. They detest the whole undertaking, which does not even provide such means of enrichment as any purely native work would do. Custom renders it derogatory to them to handle any implement heavier than a hair pencil, and what is necessary to bo done by officials is simply intrusted to their servants.
At the head office things are scarcely better. The directors are men who .have been forced into an unwelcome position, who have no feeling for the substantial success of the railway, and no appreciation of workmanlike excellence, but who are always ready to ITsten to any dilettante who can talk superficially of velvet and varnish and show from illustrated advertisements in what respects the Chinese trains como short of some ideal Brighton express or
Philadelphia flier, especially when the glib foreign gentleman hints at the profuse lubrication which railway promotion demands in other countries and which is only compatible with lavish cost.
