FOR THE HEATHEN.

How an Irreverent Saloon Heeper . . Was Taken In.. The other day, when the .wind whistled sad-toned jigs around the bat tery, a little old man entered a ‘saloon in that vicinity, and asked the barkeeper if he could leave’some tracts there. . “A .whole car-load, if you want to,” was the reply, ‘and the little old man placed a package on'a beer-table, and: softly said: ' 2 : , “There’s no cause greater than that of the hedthen. We should all contribute a small share to our worldly: wealth to shed the gospel light across the seas.” : -~ ! : - : A pair of boxing-gloves were reposing on a table, and the little old man |; felt of them and went on: ; ol “It-makes me feel sad tosee such sinful things laying around, when one glove might save a dozen souls in Africa.” : : oy Three or four of the boys had come in, and the saloon keeper winked at them and replied: . : ' “Do you “want to earn.ss for the heathen ?” . “Verily, I do.” ) ; 5 “Put on the gloves withsme, and knock .me known, and I'll iante up enough to €onvert a whole regiment of Atrican sinners.” o , {“The cause is noble, the inducement great,” mused the old man, as he toyed with the gloves. e "The boys encouraged him to go in, desiring to see him knocked wrong | end up, and he finally got out of his overcoat with the explanation: =0 4Tt really can’t be 4 sin to box for | the cause of the heathen.” The saloonist meant to'lift him over the table at the first blow, but it wgys warded off very handsomely, and the. little old man sighed: “Ah-~-um!. The heathen walk in wickedness, and they have souls to be saved.” 3l " “Look out, now!” cried the saloonist, as he got in a hard left-hander. = “Verily, I will, and I will give thee “one in return—for the heathen.” He struck.a- staggering blow, and the saloonist didn’t feel quite so. enthusiastic as at the start. He took the defensive, and soon had all the work he could do. - - ' “That’s another for the ignorant minds of the far-off shore,” sighed the little old man, as he knocked the saloonist against the wall. 0 There wasn’t any “science” about him, but he struck to kill, and his arms were flying around like the spokes of a wagon wheel. - : : " “Don’t crowd a feller,” called ont the saloonist, as he was being driven back, and he-got mad and pub in his hardest licks. He meant to smash the little old man’s nose as flat as a | window-glass, but he couldn’t do it. | He got in two or three fair hits, and { was beginning to regain his courage, when the aged stranger sorrowfully { remarked: : : «My friend, the heathen call, and I ‘cannot tarry much longer. Take this one, and. it may broaden your views on the heathen question. Receive this one in the spirit it #s tendered and you may be sure that $5 shall be a bea®on-light as far as it will go.” He' delivered two sledge-hammer blows, right and left, and the saloonist got the last on the ear as he dodged the first. He'went over in beautiful style, and as he slowly regained his feet he felt in his pocket for the wager. - : : . “If you’li come around here to-night and do that again, I'll double the money,” he growled, as he paid the wager. : e . “My way points towards Bosting, and I cannot tarry,” softly replied the: | little old man, *Let us part friendly, for I only boxed thee for the heathen’s sake. I gave to thee, thou hast given to the heathen, and now, farewell.”—San Francisco Call. - g e & f— A Widely Applicable Remedy. Few remedies are applicable to such a wide range of disorders as Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters, and this not be‘cause it has special properties adapted to the cure of each—such a pretense would ‘be manifestly absurd,—but on | acceunt of Its wonderfully improving |'effect ‘upon the general ;gne of the | system, and its alterative action upon | the organs of nutrition, secretion and | discharge. .~ Besides its well, known properties as a remedy for intermittent and remittent fevers, dyspepsia, | constipation, torpidity of the liver, | general debility, urinary and uterine | difficulties; it invariably proves to be | highly serviceable in overcoming an- | eemia, hypochondria, rhieumatism, in- | somnia, and many other disorders and | disabilities originating in poverty or | impurity of the blood, nervous weakness or over-excitement or an mlm ‘| fect performance of the. physical

WHY AN wg‘x SINNED. A Touching Segne in a Kentucky . Couri-Roomr. ' ° | .{From the Elifon [Ky.] Witness.] ° . On Friday las isvé had quite a touching scene in our court house. Old John Garner, an dld, gray-headed man, was arraigned fofighe crime-of grand larceny—horse-st@aling. He pleaded guilty, and presénied himself to the jury in a brief and g’couch"i‘nél address. Hesmid:' 1 & . = et “GENTLEMEN OPTHE JURY:—I am an old man, and my race is nearly run; -This is the first tifae in'my life’l have. -ever been before gifinry. I have never even been a witnéss in a magistrate’s court. I was bomh in 1816, and have been a hard-working and 'a\'rx’lponest man all my life antil now. . Tam a _stranger to every pan in this house, ~except his honor who sits on that ‘befich. He hds known me for nine years, and he vill teil you I have been an honest man and a good citizen. This jury looks liké a set of honest and intelligent men, and I wish you to deal with me the best you can. I read in the paraéthat the prison at “Frankrorvis an awful place— Teis so crowded that one ¢in scarcely live there. From the accounts of: that place, 1 suppose litould not live there long. You see lam old and feeble, and I ask you todo the best you can for me. Gentlemen, if I could have got work I could have supperted my family, and not ‘been here. But I want to tell you~l am a very poor ‘man and have.to ¥ork to live. \gellf last year the times were very hard indeed, and I could not get work miuch of my time. lam a mechanic, and I went to Clarksvile, Fairview, and many other places, but I could hot get any work. 'Thé times were very | hard, as you all know, and buf few. men had money ¢ pay for labor, I traveled around tili I spent all I had hut a bed and a,ctair.. I was -tired and out of heart, ard my"family suffering for food andclothing. I heard then that I could gt work in North ‘T.ogan, and I sold my kit of tools to get my family up there. 1 paid $75 for my. tools in Louisville and had to sell them low. After paying for moving I had $l6 lefl. I gota place for my family for a liitle wliile, and started again for worf. I tried hard to: find it but could mt. I went back to my family broken down: in spirit, thinking I wouid have to starve or beg. Gentlemen, my little boy. about six years old, gdt in my lap and put, his little atms around my neck and asked me if the good Lord would let us starve. Ilove my family as well’ as any man, and could not think:of their starving.” i : . The prisoner became overwhelmed with emotion, and pausing for a few moments he pléad for aslight a. verdict as the jury could give him. The occasion was exceedingly solemn. The prisoner told lis story without reservation. Age and care had ‘whitened his locks and farrowed his brow. He \ had seen better days, but he was now a broken reed. The jury, the attorneys, the judge and the spectators were touched by the homely recital of. the supplicant prisoner.

The Jews are the healthiest and longest-lived people on the face of the earth. Their immunity from diseases of all forms is remarkable.— Even the great epidemics pass them by with the-infliction of a much lighter scourge than falls upon other races. It is declared that the cholera never chose one of them fot its. vietim, and, . in fact, the deaths from this malady have been so few as almost to " bear out thie assertion. Suicide is seldom practiced among them. It has been computed, from statistics returned in certain provinces of Austria and Germany, that, in a population of 1,000, 000, the proportion of suicides between the Jews and the mixed white races was as one to four. : o From data carefully studied, Hoffman found that, between the years 1823 and 1840, the number of stillborn among the Jews of Germany, was 1 in 89, and among other races as. 1 in 40. Mayer ascertained that, in Furth, the proportion of Jewish children who die between the ages of 1 and 5 years is 10 per cent.,, and of Christian children of the same age it is 14/ per cent. M. Neuville, calculating from the statistics of Frankfort, shows even a greater vitality existing ‘among the chiidren of the Jews. He alsg finds from his data that the av-‘erage-duration of the life of the Jew is 48 years and 9 months, while of the Christian it is 36, years and 11 months. “In the total of ‘all ages, half of the Jews borm reach the age of 58 years and 1 month, while half the Christiansborn attain the age of 36 years only.” One-fourth of the Jewish population live beyond 71 years, but the same proportion of the Christian population live only beyond. 59 years and 10 months. The official returns of Prussia give the Jews a mortality of 1.61 per cent., and the whole kingdom 2.62 per cent. While the Jews double their numbers ifi 4115 years, others require a veriod of 51 vears. In 1849 there was in Prussia 1 death for every 40 Jews, and 1 death for every 32 of the remaining population. « L L

Vanderbilt’s Career. | Cornelius ‘Vanderbilt, in the year 1810, when only sixteen years of age, and New York had but 80,000 people, began his career as captdin of a sail boat which used to run from the beach at Whitehall to Staten Island, carrying passengers at eighteen cents each. From that day to this, through a period of sixty-six years, Vanderbilt has been steadily ' engaged in - carrying freight and passengers by land and sea, by steamboat and railroad. "His finst vessel was the Charlette, launched in 1815, by himself and brother-in-law.. With the Charlotte he coasted to South Carolina. In 1817 he was engaged as a captain of . a steamer plying between New York and New JBrunswiclg, N. J., at which: latter place Mrs. Vanderbilt managed to build a,hotel. In 1879, at the age of thirty-five, he was worth $30,000, and detérmined to start for himself. The first steamboat he ever built ' was' the Caroline, which finally went over the Niagara Falls.. To-day those who are most familiar with ' his affairs rate him at from $70,000,000 to $80,000,000. It is understood that the bulk of his fortune will go to his son, William H. Vanderbilt. Mr. Vanderbilt first married, in 1813, Miss Sophia Johnson, ‘the 'daughter of a neighbor living near his father’s farm; on Staten Island. She bore him ‘thirteen children. He married a second time, at the age of ‘seventy-six, a lady from the South, some forty-five years. younger than himself. =~ The old gentleman looks hale and hearty. ¥

Chopping a Dead Man’s Head off. The South Bend “Z7ribme’ says: There are ‘reasons for believing that the grave of the murderer and suicide, " John Dills, has been maliciously robbed by a Phrenologist named Robbins. The 7'ribune says one night last week Robbins/lectured near Jimtown, Elk‘hart.county, and-stopped with a fami“ly by the: name of Edelmann living near by: *That night he wanted some of them to go with him, promising to show them Johnny Dills. They declined the invitation and Robbins went alone, it is alleged to Dill’s grave. Throwing away:the dirt which covered the grave of the poor, unfortunate murderer and suicide, until he came tozthe.coﬁin, it was the work of a moment to smash the glass: which covered the face of the corpse, drag the already half-severed head through the hole in the coffin lid, cut it from the body, stuff a bundle of cotten and wool in the vacant space and fill up the grave. The next day it was suspect‘ed ‘that he had meddled with the grave, as he had asked permission of William Dills, and been refused. So Joseph Abbot, William Dills, William Washburn and others visited the grave, opened it and found things as we have described. ; i

[ Flecting Postmasters. . ' . A bill is now pending in the House of Representatives that proposes the | eléction of postmasters in every city ahd incorporated town by the pedple of the municipality, by i{?ballot..\ The election is to be held every four-years, concurrent with the Presidential eleo‘tion. ' The person.elected is to be, 'f'coimmissioned by the Presitdent “on. presenting the Postmaster: General’s certificate of election, and giving bend--as| now provided by law. Postmasters thus eleeted are to be removable for cause by the President and Postmaster General; and onsuch removaly or on failure to qualify according to law, the President is to appoint anoth-: er person to fill the vacancy until the next stated eleetion. i S Sugch-a law would doubtless relieve the Department of much labor and responsibility, in the matter of making the numierous appointments re-. quired by the postal service. It-islal-so probable that the people of.any city or town’ would be as well quali-’ fied to select suitable persons for.the office a{s the Department now;is under. the present system of petition and reeommendations. Q‘%g‘som«‘ﬁkesevery- other office, it would immediately fall into the povl'of polities.: Buat that would render the matter little less objectionable than the course now is, where appointments; are al- | most . invariably made on-political grounds. o < ien Re One result of 'the- elective plan weuld be 'to make postmasters somewhat more independent; and it would likewise, in a great measure, prevent. the postal service of the country from. being made’thé medium of electioneering for any particular Presidential nominee. It wounld moreover produce a spirit of greater wvigilance and ac=| eam mp@ation on the part of postmasters toWdrds Uierr vemetituaney, UpON whose votes depended - their. e_,Yécuwn- 4 and this is a consummation most devoutly to be wished in regard to that branch of the publiec service. :Their: fidelity to the requirments of the law | and the rules of the Department| would likewise be secured by reason of| the power of removéal for. cause | still held by the Department. It would give the elected incumbent the assarance of ati least a four-year term, provided he gave no cause. of removal in the meantin:e; pnd he could therefore | address himself to his duties with no misgivings of mind as td being ousted by the machinations of any rivals during his eleeted termr.. Upon the whole we do not see but that the people and the public service would both hq benefited by such alaw.—Exchange. | e i G BlE— P o A Deiightfal Legend, =
