On March 22, 1895, Mrs. Minerva Beauchamp died, at her late residence, near Portland Mills, of cancer, after a long sickness and great suffering, aged 74 years. Miss Mary Gorham, who has been attending High School and boarding with Sheriff Glidewell’s family, returned to her home in Marion township, on Saturday. “Huh,” sniffed the boarder, ‘‘can you give Me a word to rhyme with hash?” The landlady smiling answered him: ‘‘Suppose, sir, you try cash.” The business man who argues longest and most loudly against the dividend paying qualities of newspaper advertising is generally the business man who has never advertised, or else he has advertised on the installment plan, with long intervals between installments. On Saturday morning a serious and most unfortunate accident happened to Mrs. Margaret McKee, at her home, in this city. She fell down the cellar stairs and fractured her leg just below the knee joint; the injury is a painful and severe one. Dr. George W. Bence gave her the necessary surgical attention. It is hoped her recovery will bo speedy. Jasper Henry gave a party of his school friends a pleasant outing, on Friday afternoon, by taking them to the sugar camp of D. L. Henry, North of this city, where they drank sugar water, sampled the boiling syrup, helped to make molasses and sugar, and each had a plentiful supply of the latter to enjoy—it was a novel and delightful experience for the

young folks.

In one of our neighboring counties several farmers have lately been caught on the bill board privilege racket. Two men paint a sign on the farmer’s fence and given him a few dollars to guarantee them that no one else will be permitted to paint sign; over them. The farmer is asked to sign a receipt acknowledging the payment of the money .in order that they can return the same to their employer. The receipt which he signs turns out to be a promissory note for

The accident is all the more sad owing to the fact that he is so young, and there only being himself and his widowed mother, who no doubt looked forward to the time when ho would be her only support. One of Greencastle’s girls received a proposal of marriage recently, and being somewhat surprised she blushed and asked for a week’s time to consider before answering. The time was granted and she put it in going to see her married sisters. One who used to be a belle’, had three children, did all her own work, and hadn’t been to the theatre or out riding since she was married. Another whose husband was a promising young man at the time she was married, was supporting him. A third didn’t dare say her life was her own when her husband was around, and a fourth was divorced. After visiting them and hearing their woes, the heroine of this little tale, went home, got a pen ink and paper, and wrote an answer to the young man. You may think it refused him but it did not. She accepted him and she said she would be ready in a

month.

Obituary. William Henry Cowgill, son of Elisha Parker and Mary Frances Cowgill, was born in Monroe township, Putnam county, Indiana, March 5, 1814; died at bis borne near Fillmore, Indiana. March 18, l8'.)5, aged 51 years and 13 days. Henry (). Cowgill. a grandson, the first 'to break the family ties, had preceded him to the grave just six years to a day. The deceased had been an invalid for over three years, which finally terminated in that dread destroyer, consumption. He was married to Mary Frances Sinclair, March 16, 1865. To this union were born three children Elisha L., born January 4, 1806; Richard S.. born March 24, 1873; Lillie L., born February 7, 1878. He united with the M. E. Church at Fillmore in 1875; having lived a faithful and devoted Christian for 20 years, and laid filled almost every office in the church in such a way as would best promote the cause of Christ. His family prayers are no longer heard, bur in our memories will live forever. He had made all preparations for death; called all his family around his bedside, and prayed for them just before the summons came; and asked th3 Lord to relieve him of his suffering. His last words were, “Remember my prayer.” It was ids request that “The Home of the Soul" be sung at the grave. He always bad a kind word for everyone, and his home was a home for everyone. A wife, two sons, a daughter, a daughter by marriage, a grandchild, a mother, four sister.- and a large circle of relatives and friends are left to mourn the loss of a kind ami loving husband, father, son, brother and Christian neighbor. The funeral occurred at the Methodist Church in Fillmore, the services being conducted by Elder Wood, assisted by Elders Goous and Williams. “Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord.” Oh! when will hopeless sorrow cease Upon the heart to prey, And when will heaven's descending peace So our cherished joys fade one by one, Our loved ones tall like withered leaves, The shaft descends—their breath is gone, And o’er their graves our bossonis heave. Relatives and friends, mourn not for him; He is with the angels blest, Waiting till the maker calls you Home to that eternal rest.

formed beyond any question or mistake that Mrs. Ga'.lus S.is laid an egg. Now, when the eggs ure hatched we have other and maternal notes. There is a deep, monotonous cluck! cluck! that is u warning to others anti a general admonition of the chicks to re main near, but it ts not a call. Note the difference when the mother ir proud cook fir<ls a worm. The ooek appears to be greatly ex ’ited, and lie pretends to peck at it, make the guileless liens believe that he is about to devour the bonne bouelie kltnsi If; all the time he is saying cut, cut, cut—come, come, come—rapidly, which causes the hens to rush pell-mell in his direction, to find in many instances nothing, being merely a device to call the flock away from some rival. But in the case of the mother the little ones always find some tidbit which she lias discovered. I will not attempt to produce the baby talk of the old him to her chicks, but it exists in great variety and is suggestive of tenderness, affection and solicitude. When tlie hen has her brood beneath her ample fold she often utters a sound like c-r-a-w-z-z-e of half warning and contentment. And when an intruder enters the coop after dark she niters a high, prolonged whistling note like w-h-o-o-e, softly repeated, iudicuth r e of wonder and slight alarm. If now the fox or coyote or other enemy seize her how quickly comes an entirely different cry—a scream of terror and alarm, c-i-a-i-a-i-o-u, repeated again and again, and so full of meaning that the owner, some distance away, reaches for his shotgun and answers

the signal of distress.

SPRING HINTS. Some Good and Necessary Advice at This Season. There are Some Things We Must Surely do. And This Thing is by far the Most Important of Them all.

Everybody needs a sprint? medicine a remedy w*i c’l will streuKtben and invigorate the system, and tone up the action of all the organs. The change from cold to warm wea:her causes a depression of the vital forees, resulting in weakened nerves, impure blood, ami inactive organs. Our esteemed correspondent, Mrs. A. 8. flould. writes us from Garland. Me., some facts in regard to this subject which will be ot great interest and value just at this season: ■Through the loss of my mother, the sickness of my husband, and the extra work which fell upon me, I was thrown into a condition of nervous and physical exhaustion. grew constantly worse. I cannot find words to espress that terrible feeling that existed through ::iy whole system a f eling of utter weakness and prostration, with strange nervous sensations. My right foot was so bad it was with great difficulty I could walk. I had to place my foot every way to keep from falling. My hands and arms were weak, numb and Prickly. I was very tired all the time. There was a heavy dull feeling in my limbs. Nights they seemed like lead weights. When out riding a mile distance, they would feel ns though 1 had lost the use of them. I would move my fiegers and arms to see if I could. 1 expected auy day to be found paralyzed. “Then I began to take Dr. Greene's Nervura blood and nerve remedy. The first bottle did not seem to help me much, but the second bottle did, aud made me better. I kept on using it.

NEW USE FOR AN ALARM CLOCK.

Employed by tho Old Man to Send His Daughter's lt<*iu Home. A young man stood in the portico of an apartment house in Washington park, Brooklyn, the other evening, and on the step above him stood a pretty girl, says tho New York Sun. It was late and the street was deserted. Despite the darkness it was apparent to the occasional passer-by that the young man hud the daintily gloved right hand v f the young woman within his own, \x hile his left hand rested over it like a cover to keep it guarded. Tho young inai. was apparently trying to say good night and the young woman evidently could not hear him, for she was 1 ending her head close to his. They stood in that attitude for nearly fifteen minutes and might have been discovered in the same pose by the gray dawn of the morning had not something intervened. That something was round and bright, and it came out of a sixth-story window. It descended slowly, the moonlight shimmering op its silvery surface and making it conspicuous. Soon it could be seen that it was on a string and was being lowered by an elderly woman. When It dangled over the portico there was a sudden bur-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-ring and the voting man and young woman parted like p.n overstrained hawser. The young man seized the round and bright object, which was still ringing, and held its face to the electric light. Tho hands on tho alarm clock were clasped at midnight. He raised his hat to the young woman, murmured two words in a low tone and disappeared. The alarm clock was hoisted up, but tho young woman was upstairs before it finally reached the open window.

National Hatreds.

King’ Joseph, in one of his letters, tolls his imperial brother of France that the people of Naples have begun to love their new sovereign and that they hate the old queen. To this Napoleon replies by cynically advising his brother not to believe auy 01 the nonsense talked by courtiers as regu ds populai likes or dislikes for particular individuals. They are mere evanescent expressions of feeling, upon which it is quite unsafe to depend. “What,” he adds, “one nation really hates is another nation.” We fear there is n p^fonn l truth in this saying. National hatreds are never obliterated, though they are

MRS. A. S. GOULD. ‘‘Now I am feeling well, can do all my work and Bleep well nights. I feel as though a great burden had been rolled away from me. I am doing a great amount of work every day and often walk, besides, as much as two

miles.

"I think I will pass for a smart old Indy, so much for Dr. CIreeneis Nervura blood and nerve remedy! 1 can truly say it has done wonders fv>r me. 1 cannot speak too much in praise of it, for it has been the greatest bless* to me. ‘‘I only wish other people afflicted with disease would try it—not one bottle, bat several, in or ler to give it h fair trial. I truly tninK iney would never be sorry. My earnest prayer is thi.t this wonderful remedy may g«> out into the wide world to sick and suffering humanity.” If you want to be perfectly strong and healthy, the best possible thing to do is to take this great rarer and strengthener. You can be cured quicker in the sprin; than nt any other season. You must take n spring medicine, everyone knows that, and Dr. Greene’* Nervnra blood and nerve r< is the best and most certain, because it It is not a patent medicine, but the prescription of the most successful living specialist in < .:rinc r nervous and chronic diseases. Dr. Grs« . . ot .V» West Hth Kt . Ntw York City. H • has tho largest practice in the world, and t his grand medical discovery is the result of his vt-t expi rience.

Emperor William's New I.aw. Between intervals of writing alleged poetry, lettering his people, interpreting tho desires of tho Almighty and fathering a large, interesting and constantly increasing family little Eil!ee of Germany lias found time to havo framed for acceptance by the German people ono of tho most extraordinary laws attempted to b<> put upon a statute book in the nineteenth century. Tho proposed act directed against tho socialists can ho stretched so that it will operate against everybody in tho German empire, at tho whim of any malicious

person whatsoever.

This law which William wants toram down tho throats of his people provides that if any man, woman, child or parrot in the wiiolo and holy German empire bo fonud uttering one word, publio or private, condemnatory of monarchy, prone rty, marriage or the family, that individual creature,drunk or sober,shall bo jerked before a magistrate and punished like a common criminal. A jury even is not required to dett rmino the accused’s guilt or innocence, but the magistrate may decide tha case like a common police court judge. In more serious liases a judge bears tho case instead of a magistrate. Under this law, if it passes, a man may no longer even joke about his mother-in-law or the kiteheu stovepipe. What tho German funny writers will do in that case is a mystery. If the free scaled German people submit to such a law as this, then they are

indeed very far gone.

Repressive and protective laws tho world over are enacted to preserve the useful institutions of society when they are believed to be in danger. Tho stiff bit act which William wishes to impose on his empire shows up the people of Germany in a frightful light if such a law is really needed. The logical rloduction leads tho concluoiousof tho outside world much further titan William doubtless intended or would like. Is it possible that the sacred institutions of marriage and tho family and tho almost equally sacred institution of property are in dangt r in Germany? It cannot be, especially with the high moral example set by that good family man,

William himself.

It must be that marriage, the family and property rights are maintained as inviolate in Germany as they ever were. Else what is tho world coming to? Tho small emperor who enjoys tho direct confidence of the Creator must havo become panicky and rattled in his mind.

The Electrical Review says the western Union Telegraph Company collected about $1,500,000 last year for telling the time of day. The Russia.fi Govenmienc lias sanctioned a telegraph line form St. Petersburg to the .Nlarmancoa8t,at an expenditure of about 500,000 roubles . Mexico’s great drainage canal, which is 30 miles long, will be open in about sixteen months. Its construction will cost something like $20,000,-

During March a series of articles, dealing with subjects that primarily concern the people ot California, but that are destined to to arouse interest throughout the country at large, will be published in Harper's Weekly. The first of those articles is entitled California's Great Grievance; the second is devoted to the subject of reform in San Francisco, and a third to the production of gold. Their author is Julian Ralph, the famous correspondent, whose investigations have been conducted at request of the Weekly. Another series of the lirst importance, the publication of which has just commenced, will contain the instructive results of a tour of the world, undertaken by the Transportation Commission of the Field Columbian Museum, for the purpose of collecting fn^rmatui, a:t-.i, r.s fa:’ as passible, eiUibiU.

A City Pay Roll. ' Tho cost of municipal government in Now York city is $12,000,000 a year, $1,000,000 a month. That of Chicago is not so very much less. Tho mayor of New York receives $10,000 a year, the* same salary as the governor of the state. The city has ou its pay roll more than 17,000 employees. These include, of course, policemen and schoolteachers. Tho mayor has at his disposal already $325,000 of public patronage. Certain changes in the state laws may bo made 1 v the new legislature, which will place $1,737,000 worth of patronage in tho lamas of the mayor. One of the proposed changes is tho abolishment of tho much abused system of police justice - Next to being piesidiut, therefore, tho best tii.ng is apparently to be mayor of Now

York.

The mayor has the appointment of sevarul offletrs whoso salaries are larger than his own. Ono of these is tho city chamberlain, who gets $25,000 a year. Another is tho corporation connsel.wbo has $12,000. Tho police justices, made famous and infamous through the investigations of tho Lexow committee, receive $8,000 a year each, and there are 15 of them. The innumerable host of commissioners, fire, police, dock, health aqueduct and otherwise, which Now York carries, get $5,000 a year each. Some of them have managed to turn a penny or two outside of their salaries. Thete ate in New York city 20 police matrons, who get each $720 a year.
