Paris Gazette. Yery small things agitate a small town. The question of dancing is being agitated in both press and pnlpit, down in Marshall. Up here, in the city of Paris, such small matters are not deemed of sufficient importance for argufnent. The people here believe In enjoying themselves, and even the ministers are willing that they should—they don't bother themselves about Buch small matters, but are satisfied with preaching Christ and Him crucified, and let the young folk# "go it while they are young."
Almost an Catastrophe.
The boy who drives the delivery wagos for Hobert, Root & Co., attempted to cross the railroad track at Tenth and Tippecanoe streets yesterday afternoon, when the horsegfell down on the track. An I. & St. L. switch engioe with some cars was approaching, ana the boy's cries called the attention of the train men, and the train was stopped within a few car lengths of the prostrate animal. The boy was thoroughly frightened, and will probably never again attempt to cross in front of a train.

No. 4, tbe morning train from Indianapolis, will arrive five minutes later than at present.
MORE MONOPOLY.
Mention has been made frequently of the negotiations between the Pullman and Wagner car companies, and it is now said that the death of Senator Wagner, of the latter, will have the effect of closing the negotiations. There can be but one result and the Pullmans will thus secure virtaal control of the entire sleeping car service of the United States.
NOT TRUE.
A letter to the Cbicsgo Inter-Ocean from. Mattoon aays: "Cardinal Woolsey has been offered his old position of chief tgain dispatcher of the Indianapo lis & St. Louis railroad, which he has accepted, and will remove his family to this place soon." Mr. Woolsey, who is chief train dispatcher of the Vandalia, states that this is his first intimation of such a thing, and that it is not true. He will remain where he is.
T' HERVEY'S STRAIGHT LINE. Joseph Collett is now in New York with R. G, Hervey, in the interests of tbe I. & E. Straight line, and the latest advices are that Mr. Hervey has about completed negotiations for the transfer of his interest in the road to Messrs. Collett, J. E. Martin and a syndicate of eastern capitalists. Some months ago parties became interested in the project of building the line, and sent west a committee, one of whom was a civil engineer of considerable note. This party went over the proposed line and were not favorably impressed, with it and so reported east. Their principal objection to the route as surveyed was that it would be too expensive in its construction. Tbe matter was dropped by these parties for the time being. President Hervey was given to understand, however, that if he would select a good route which could be built at an expense not to exceed $25,000 per mile, through Greene and Monroe counties, they would take hold of the enterprise and push it to completion. For some time past Morris Deirees and his surveying corps have been engaged in locating the line and preparing the profile and specifications, and which it is presumed have met with favor by the parties in question. If it is true tbat Messrs. Collett and Martin have become interested in the enterprise its success is already insured. An Express reporter recently conversed with a gentleman, thoroughly posted, who said that in Eastern railroad circles Mr. Collett is regarded as one of the leading railroad men of Indiana. His successful management of tbe E, T. H. & C., under the difficulties with which he had to coatjjnd, alone would stamp him as such. J.E. Martin, formerly president of the E & T. H., is also a very successful railroad mun, and should these two take a hand in the railroad game in question, tbey will undoubtedly play it for all it is wortb.

THE READING LINE.
NEW YORK, January 19.—Vanderbilt told a fritnd, yeMerday, that he had not sold a share of Reading, but had, on the contrary, increased his holdings. A private telegram from Gowan said that the McCalmonts had transferred all their Reading common et-?ck, 157,588 shares, and he understood it was bcing nold.

NEW ORLEANS, Jar. 19.—The flood waters from Big Black river are spreading in every direction. About thirty milea oi the Chicago, St. Lonis & New Orleans railroad «re under water, many culver to destroyed, much of the road bed washed away and it will probably be weeks before the through traffic can be resumed. No trains are running between Canton and Grenad?, a distance of eightynine miles. A dispatch from Goodman reports the lower part of the town inundated, the turnpike road destroyed and the bridge over Big Black river washed away.
A Mobile dispatch reports all tbe lower landing along tbe Tombigbee river inundated. Fifty-five feet cf water are reported at Tuscolooea, and still rising.

The encceas of "My Partner* at the Union Square has been Unequivocal anJ instantaneous. It is one of the most poetic and the most brilliant of contributions to our stage literature. In "My Partner" the author has conspicuously succeeded, and has shown his capacity to write a drama of California life as replete with poetry and naturalness^ as brilliant in conception and powerful in execution, and as happy in theme and treatment, as any play which has engaged the serious attention of this public for some time.

In the February number of the North American Review, Prof. George P. Fisher of the Yale Divinity School, whose writings on tbe supernatural origin of Christianity and on ecclesiastical history are well known, comes to tbe defence of the Christian religion against the attacks of modern doubt and infidelity. No abler or more eminent advocate for the orthodox faith could be summoned into the controversy that has lately been waged on this high theme, and it is not too much to say that Prof. Fisher justifies every expectation by tbe vigor and clearness with which he handles tbe subject. Other articles in the February number of the Review are: "Do the Spoils Belong to the Victor?" by President Andrew D. White "A Remedy for Railway Abuses," by loaac L. Rice "Repudiation in Virginia," by Senator John W. Johnston and "The Lancet and the Law," by Henry Bargh.

The Amonnt of Heat Itinera Endue and How It Affects Them. A miner who has been for some months past working in one of the hottest sections of the Comstock, gave a reporter his experience of the heat which miners are often called upon to encounter. He says that, in working at points where the thermometer marks a temperature of 115 degrees to 120 degrees. great thirst is experienced. No ice water is too cold to be swallowed with a relish. Men go to the water barrel in which huge chunks of ice are floating about, and will take their picks and chop up the ice in order that the water may be rendered colder by being filled with fine fragments. Often this' does not satisfy them, snd they chew and swallow lumps of ice. The natural temperature of the human body—of the blood—is about 98 degrees therefore, when a man remains in a hot place for an hour, or even half an hour, his blood, and his whole body, becomes heated to a temperature of lib degrees to 120 degrees or whatever may be the temperature of tbe place in which he is at work. It is then that the miner begins to pour down ice water and eat ice. The strangest thing about tbe business is that it does not hurt any of the men. Often they swallow such quantities of the water that their stomachs will not retain It, and in vomiting it up it will feel cold in their mouths and against their teeth. All they do on such occasions is to swallow more of the same water, but more cautiously. When men are working in extremely hot places the temperature of the place to which they come to cool off—the cooling off station —is probably 100 degrees. This temperature, which would almost roast a surface man, appears cool to a man who has come from a place where the thermometer marks 110 degrees to 115 degrees In a place where the thermometer is 90 degrees the man will feel so cold as to Bhiver. Often at the cooling station, where the temperature is 100 degrees, tbe perspiration will ceaae and the man will begin to feel very uncomfortable. On leaving and going back to where the temperature is from 115 degrees to 120 degrees, as the perspiration begins to start, there is for a minute or two an intolerable itching over the whole body. As each closed pore reopens it produces a tingling sensation. However, as soon as there i* a free flow of perspiratioj all this trouble ~c£a9es, and the man feels quite comfortable, and so remains until his whole body— blood, flesh and. bones—again reaches a temperature of from 110 degrees to 120 degrees, when he becomes wild for ice water and ice. It is not a little strange —when we consider that 98 degrees is the natural temperature of the blood—tbat serious results do not follow exposure to a degree of heat almost sufficient to cook the blood in the veins.

A PASSING 0L0UD.
i, '-HOLMSLEY COTJBT, Yorkshire. DEAREST CONNIE.—Papa has at last given me leave to gratify my pet desire, and to get up some private theatricals. We are going1 to
Sere
lay the 'Lady of Lyons,' and we have no one that can act Pauline as you do so come, dear. I have secured a splendid Claude to play with you. The original Claude was never so handsome."
This was the letter that Constance Beresford read over her coffee, one morning, and four hours later, found her settling herself comfortably in a first-class compartment of the great Northern express from King's Cross.
Just as she was seated to her satisfaction, she saw'enter the carriage just as handsome a man as her eves had ever rested upon, and he placed himself, unconsciously, in a most favorable position for her to scrutinize him, on the opposite side. She watched him arrange his traps then, as the train steiffife'd 6tit of the station, buried herself in her novel, "thinking what a Claude ho' would make."
For half an hour her book held her interest, then with a yawn she closed it, and fixing a wrap to pillow her head on, settled herself for a nap, drawing her veil over her face.
Her cap was not of long* duration, however, for she opened her eyes suddenly, to find the handsome stranger regarding her with an amused smile, that vanished quickly when he found his gaze returned.
The color rushed to her cheeks, and she quickly straightened up with a dignified air, but her observer had withdrawn his gaze so she returned to her book, unaware that the dark eye3 were still watching, their ownermuch amused at her dignity.
Soon he drew a little yellow-covered book from his pocket, and became so deeply engrossed therein that he did not notice the start of surprise Miss Beresford gave when she happened to glance up. "The Lady of Lyons!" she said to herself "how very strange, and he is studying it, too! Can it be, yes, it must be, the Claude Ethel wrote mo of! She yas right about his good looks but what business had he to laugh at me? I would like to shake him!11 Then the thought of shaking that great fellow was so absurd that she nearly laughed outright. With an almost unconscious sigh she shut her book, rearranged her wrap, and kept her eyes out of the window until her destination was reached. "Oh, Connie, how good o! you to come so soon! Your telegram mad$ me so glad that I had to come down for you myself," and Constance's friend, Ethel Devereux, kissed her, regardless of lookers on. She did not see one observer, however, and gave a start of surprise. '•Why, there's Mr. Armytage! He must have come by your train. Let me introduce you. Mr. Armytage, Miss Beresford, otherwise Claude and Pauline." "Is it possible!" and a pair of very grave eyes looked down at Constanco as she gave her iv?.nd. "Had I known it sooner, what a pleasant journey I might have had." "I knew it," she replied, "but you seemed to find it sufficiently enjoyable." "How did you know it?" he'asked, quietlv ignoring the latter part of her speech. "I saw your book and guessed tho rest." "Well, we mast not stand here all day," chimed is Ethel. "Sorry I can't offer you 3 seat, Mr.' Armytage, but I have only the pony phaeton. Yoa will be over this evening, of course." "I shall come with pleasure he replied. "Isn't he splendid, handsome, grand, Connie?" "Really, Ethel, you use strong language for oDe poor inan. Are you in love with him, dear?" "Oh, no I leave that to you. I did not write yoa the latest news, because I wanted to tell you myself, tbat I am engaged." "To cousin Frank at last? Oh, I am so glad! When did it happen?" "Just a couple of days before I wrote. XTQW win he-cousins as well as friends,
All
t/t' *•«&*•
fiave you nothing of the kind to tell me?" "Nothing. I havo had three proposal!! thin season, but all have been for my money, I am convinced. How I hate that money! Ethel,' if you love me, do not sneak oi! it, or tell a living soul here that I am an heiress. Do let me enjoy this visit at least."
It was three weeks later, and the eventful night. The audience was gathered in thelarge ball-room, and the play was in progress. At the end of the second act Claude and Pauline were called before the curtain, and having made their bows, they retired behind the scenes, apart from the others, where their conversation showed how they had improved their three weeks' acquaintance. •*Oh, Pauline! jf It were but true! If you were as truly mine, as Pauline of Lyons was Claude Melnotte's! But, like W£7*tat We I WjmKypti, like Pauline, hav$ beta Used to 3ypy Itoiry. Yet I love you, lore
he dj4 be beard ringing in hid ears her impassioned appeal: '•Claude, take mel Thou canst Hot givextfewe<h, title, station—but th.ou canst give me & true heart. I will work for thee, tend thee, bear with thee, and never, never shall these lips reproach thee for the past." It seemed as though she was appealing to him in earnest— as though the play were a reality. "Pauline, do you, did you mean it?" he asked, when they met again, and with a sudden blushing face she bowed assent. "Could I have done otherwise?" she asked him later, as they wandered through the grounds while others danced. "You were too proud to ask me, and I could not let you go, so I acted as my heart impelled, hoping you would read the truth, yet fearing.
He placed his first kiss on her lips."-y "Good, and beautiful, and true," He murmured, as he looked in her happy eyes.
Three weeks more went by, and on the morrow, there was to be a general breaking up. Gerald and others had left the previous week. Constance was lounging in a big easy chair, in a dimlylighted drawing-room, when, at the sound of voices outside, she listened, on catching her lover's name. "Daring dog, that fellow Armytage. Think of his presuming to come up here and play the gentleman." "Wonder where he got the money?" "By gambling, most likely, as he dare not forge any more checks." "His uncle let him off too easy." "Oh, he did not want the name disgraced, so he hushed the affair up.— Pity he did, though, for the scamp, it seems, went to work immediately to entrap the heiress, Miss Beresford." "By Jove! he is handsome enough to Win any woman. Wish I had half his good looks. And the two young men left the room, little dreaming that their careless words had ruined a young life.
Constance Beresford sat like one dazed, for a moment, then rousing herself, escaped to her room. Had she been deceived? Was Gerald a forger— a fortune-hunter? It could not be, yet they had said so it must be true! What should she do?—what course pursue? No one but Ethel knew of her engagement. To her friend she need say nothing, as she was going home on the morrow, but to him! whatrshould she say to him! She could not see him she would not she would write to him, and at once. She must be proud, brave, unflinching, so she wrote: "You have deceived me, and I have found you out in time, fortunately, to prevent an eselandre. Make no attempt to see me, for I shall refuse to see you, even If you oome to the house. CONSTANCE BERESFOHD.
the winter long she suffered in silence, never having heard from him.— In the spring her favorite sister Maud died. This blow, with her other trouble, prostrated her utterly, and for weeks she was very ill. When she was able to bear the journey, they took her to Switzerland. In her fresher sorrow her love for Claude seemed buried and forgotten.
Two years and a half have gone. It is the London season, and for the first time since Maud's death Constance is at a large evening gathering, and, singularly enough, again heard a conversation between the veiy same voung men who had, long before, decided her course of life for her. "So Armytage has been sent up at last?"
4
'Yes, I knew he would be, sooner or later. You remember that summer we made a flying visit at Holmsley Court, when we thought he had been up there on the look-out for an heiress?" "Yes, I remember. Wo meant to scare him out of that rascally schcme." "Well, he wasn't thereat all it was the cousin. Deuced unpleasant his having another fellow's narac.i'
Is she going to faint? What makes tho room whirl round so? She half rises but falls back in her chair. "Can I assist you? Are you ill?", tod looking up she eees—Gerald Arpiytfcge standing over her. "Let me take vou from this heated room," and leaning on his arm, she walked out upon the cool balcony. "You have met with a loss since I saw you last you have been ill and away, and are sadly changed." he said, with evident feeling. "Yes I shall never be the same lighthearted girl. I am a worn all now." "Miss -Beresford, may I ask you a question P" "As many as you like," she answered wearily. "I overheard the conversation between those young men just now did you think I was the A. mytage they spoke of when you wrote me a certain letter?" "Yes I overheard a conversation between those same young men to that effect." "And you would not even let me vindicate myself!" "This is no time for reproaches it is too late to undo what has been done.— Let us go in." "One moment, Constance. Is it too late to undo the past? Has the time been so long that you have lost the feeling you once had *or me? I love you now as I loved you then, deeply, tenderly, lastingly you are the only woman I shall ever ask to be my wife, and I ask you now, as I once did long ago, will you marry me?"
For answer she places her hand in his the room swims it grows dark, as once before that evening only this time, as she feels his strong arms around hex. she really faints.
Here is a true story of a little girl, three years old, who was charged with breaking a flower from its stem. She said, "No, I didn't b'eak it." Still, the older person argued that she must have done it, for no one else had been in the room but she said, "Deed, deed I didn't." Thinking to make her confess, the older said, "Now, Ada, I see a sto-
Sin
your eve." Her reply was, "Well, at's one told the other day, for 1 didn't b'eak the ower." And it was found that she didn't. -5,

THE ASSASSIN.
Guiteau again thanks the Court of Appeals of New York, on General Principle*.
Contianatioa of Scoville's Remarks —Some Sore Lack of .imiahilItj Between Counsel.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 19.—^Court opened at the usual hour. As soon as Guiteau reached his seat he delivered himself of the following speech with a pompous effort at oratorical effect: '-The decision of the New York Court of Appeals comes with so much force at tbe present moment that I desire to call attention to it. It comes with great grace from the Empire State, from that grand old State of the Republic, the State that sends forth brains, the money and commerce of the nation. It is a great step forward of the law of insanity. Hitherto the law has been that the burden of proof was on the defendant but the Court of Appeals with grand magnanimity says that ue burden of proof-Is on this prosecution to prove tbat the man not only committed the act, but also that he was sane at the time he committed it. In the name of justice, and in the name of the American people, and in the name of the American judiciary, I desire to thank those gentlemen ot the Court of Appeals of the State of New York."
Scoviile immediately resumed his argument, reading from the evidence of several witnesses who were at the depot and saw the shooting and subsequent arrest of Guiteau, his object being to show that the prisoner was perfectly calm and cool and in condition of nerves and intellect at variance with the hypotheses of sanity under such circumstances. bcoville again complained that the prosecution had failed to call Detective McElfresh to the stand whose evidence would have been of service to the prisoner.
Guiteau—"They came to my cell and tried to draw me out. I talked with them a little and told them about Deity and my inspiration and now they suppress all that evidence. That shows the iniquity of this prosecution and God Almighty will curse every ane on this prosecution, in my opinion." After a short pause, the prisoner edded, "That reminds me to say that Judge Porter has been pretending to be sick jor two days. 1 hope it will be providential to keep him sick. I hope the Lord will take him down below quick and then send for Corkhill."
As Scoviile proceeded Corkhill made frequent, and as the speaker evidently thought, slighting comments, until finally, becoming irritated, he turned upon tbe District Attorney and denounced in scath ing terms his unfair conduct, and instanced his presentation as evidence in this case of a letter written by the prisoner and which he (Corkhill), had intercepted and mutilated by cutting off the signature and such portion as he thought might benefit the prisoner. "A thing,' said Scoviile, 'which was never before permitted in a court of justice, not even upon the trial of a civil suit."
Col. Corkhill, sneeringly—"That's your opinion merely, Mr. Scoviile it amounts to nothing as a fact."
Scoviile—"Well, let it be my opinion I presume I am entitled to one, and so is the jury."
Guiteau, with energy—"It was a friendly allusion to President Arthur that he cut out the mean, dirty whelp."
As Scoviile continued, counsel for prose cution frequently interrupted him and a running fire was kept up between tbe counsel for some time. The speaker disclaimed as his main motive the desire to shield the prisoner for tbe honor of the Guiteau family. His greatest desire was to save an American nation and the American judiciary from the disgrace ot' hurrying to the gibbet an insane man. Allowing to the evidence of Dr North the speaker charged^ that this was another instance of the unfairness of the District Attorney. Without the slightest evidence or reason for so doing he bad asked a witness, "Were you ever indicted for a crime V" and the fitness had responded quickly and frankly, "No, sir, and I never expect to be."
Col. Corkhill—"I happened to know the man well." Scoviile—"All the more reason why you should not thus gratuitously insult him."
Corkhill—"Well, I tried him in this court. I remembered his face when he took the stand, and I found afterward tbat he was here on an appeal from the police court"
As the audience laughed at this point scored by the District Attorney Mrs. Scoviile became very angry and complained in audible tones of the District Attorney's "meanness", as she termed it.
The hour of recess having arrived Scoviile conferred for a moment vith Judge Cox as to how long a reoesa should be ordered, the audience began 1o arise and Guiteaui mpatiently called out, "Your Honor, we're waiting on you ain't you going to announce recess?" At this the crier raised a laugh by 'calling out "Well, come along, we'll have a recess.'
