A Female Phenomenon.

Il in not generally known, but it ra, nevertheieMt, a fact, that on Lower Willow creek, not many miles from Butte, reskies a woman different from Bn other* of her sweet sex. She is l>rolMibly the only woman in ancient or modern times who, possessing the natural feminine ability to talk, studiously alwtatns, with a perseverance truly admirable, from expressing herself on any subject. For fifteen years, except on one occasion,she has not uttered a word even to her nearest relatives.' - Her organs of articulation are Crfect, and the friends of the strange iy entertain not the slightest doubt ofher speaking capabilities were she disposed to exercise them. It is the Impression of those best acquainted with the history of this phenomenal woman that her absolute refusal to speak results from a disappointment in love, while she was yet in her teens. Fifteen years ago, In the classic state of Missouri, Miss M , then a beautiful and accomplished girl of sixteen summers, became the object of a young neighbor’s affection, which she reciprocated with the full strength of her impulsive soul. He told his love, and they became secretlv engaged. But the news was too good and fraught with too much future happiness to keep, and it was accordingly communicated to the young girl’s pareats. Then for the first time in her budding womanhood, a cloud arose to cast its shadow on her so far contented existence. The parents, for reasons which they doubtless considered gissl and sufficient, sternly and relentlessly withheld their consent for the proposed union of two loviug hearts. More than this, they ordered tlie young gallant to cease his attentions, and their decision was irrevocable.

Soon after this the family moved to Montana, and since the day of their starting the young lady, now grown to a woman of thirty years, but still comely in form and feature and apparently intelligent, has not articulated as much as hall a dozen words. Her long silence is attributed to intense and abiding indignation at the sup|»osed cruelty of her parents in reftising to permit her marriage, and proliably conceiving words to lie useless and inadequate- to express the poignancy of her suffering, she concluded never to speak again, a resolution which she has adhered to so far with remarkable pertinacity. Khe lives with her parents on Willow (,’reek, us liefore stated-, occupies a a room by herself, refuses to see strangers, and* to all intents and purposes is absolutely dumb. Iler me'mory is strong and accurate for. one who neither talks nor reads nor takes other Intellectual exercise. Through the partition of her rodni, she will sometimes listen to the conversation of those in the adjoining apartment, and occasionally, several days after it has taken placy, it will be found on Kt in her room written out verm. A severe mental exertion is necessary to accomplish this feat, and the fact that she is capable of such exertion is regarded as sufficient evidence of her entire sanity. It is reported that Several young ranchers on Willow Creek, (convicted of her determination never to speak again,' have made matrimonial advances, but have been spurned. On the whole, the caAe is an interest ingone, the more so as she is still young, licautiful and intelligent.

The Boy Lincoln.

Fr.au the Louisville Courier-Journal. Lincoln’s early youth was spent in Spencer countyilnd., aliove Rockport, a beautiful little city crowning the abrupt elifts which frown over the Ohio river. He was faithful and industrious, but there was in him a latent indok-nee which made him fond of taking his rod to fish, or, with his gun u|K>n his shoulder, he would roam in search of game over the long, low hills bursting with the red clay. There are living at present several old citizens who know Lincoln well at that time. He was thoughtful, and his solitary expeditions probably gave him plenty of opportunity to indulge his meditative faculties. The description of his appearance then; his long, lank legs under an awkward body ; his.homely face upon w’hich the prominent nose* stood like a handle; his long hair dangling upon his shoulders, bring up instantly the picture of Jchaliod Crane in the twilieht, stealing over the hills of Sleepy Hollow to pay his court to Frances Katrina Von Tassel.

The embryo statesman was full of spirit and fond of mad pranks. One old gentleman in Rockport lives to tell of the, last time he saw Lincoln. He was visiting the Lincoln home-? stead. and as he was coming away they found a tresspassing cow hang, ing about the gate. The cow had given the Lincolns much annoyanceby entering their garden and committing depredations. Young Abe was dressed in a suit of jeans, without any coat, as it was summer tijne, and on his head he wore a broad-brimmed white straw hat, part of which was cracked and broken. Finding the cow standing hypocriticaly meek at the gate, young Abt- leaped astride of her back, and, digging his Imre heels into her side, the astonished animal broke away down the road in a lumbering gallop. “The last 1 saw of Abe Lincoln,” the old gentleman relates fondly, “he was” swinging his hat, shouting at the top of.his voice and gallopping down' the road on that thunderstruck cow.” In the old country church near the Lincoln place is a pulpit which was made by Abe Lincoln and his father. There is a bookcase in the Evansville Custom House made by the same carpenters and taken there for preservation. ’ Near where the old house stood is a dilapidated corn-crib with rail floor, the rails for which were split by young Lincoln. Last fall a monument was raised over Nancy Lincoln’s grave through the efforts of General Veach, of Rockport. It is a plain slab with a plain inscription.

An Improbable Yarn.

“Guilty or not guilty?” asked the Galveston recorder. ' “Of course I’m not guilty.” “You went into this gentleman’s room at the dead hour of night with a false key.” “That’s just,so, but lam not to be blamed lor the false of the key, am I ?” ’ “No levity, sir. You found him fast asleep?” “So I did, and I didn’t wake him up, cither. My family doctor says it’s dangerous to wake up a sleeping man.” “I suppose it is,particularly if he had a six-shooter handy. You took the sleeping man’s pants and stole noiselessly down stairs and gave them to a confederate.” “That’s all so, except I didn’t steal down stairs.” “You mean you stole up stairs?” “No; I didn’t steal at all.” “You are doing seme tall lying now.” ,

“And I didn’t turn the pants over to a confederate, either. He was a union man all during the war.” “You admit you took the pants?” ; “Certainly. Judge; but if the truth has to bd told, I’ll just give it to you. I went and got those pouts merely to show them to my friend, who wanted to take a pattern of them to have a pair built just like them. I was going to take them hack when I was interrupted by the police. Do you suppose if I was a stealing man I wouldn’t be in official position.” The ease was taken under advisement. The wife of Elias Cummings (colored), living near Crankflton, N. J., has given birth to four boys. Mother and children are doing well.

Mrs. Sprague’s Coachman.

One of Mrs. Sprague’s coachmen has been talking, and tells a little that is of interest. He says: “I lived with Mrs. Sprague for a long time at Edgewood, her own farm, near Washington. It is a delightful place, and things went on pleasantly enough. Mrs. Sprague is a large hearted,handsome woman,and everybody about her is much attaeh,ed to her: her three girls and a boy are finecnildreu, and all the time we lived there, there never was any trouble. Sprague used to come occasionally to see the children, perhaps take a meal with them, and then go off. Well, I just know the great secret of this case, although it was a sudden discovery’. It was almost the Fourth of July, Mrs. Sprague said; “William, I want you to go to the Pier tomorrow,’ meaning Narragansett, and prepare for us to come on,’ ‘To-mor-row! I’ta impossible,’ I says. ‘No such word as impossible,’ says she, and go I had to in some shape. I took several horses, Shetland ponies for the children, and the boss road inare. “Still for several days she didn’t come, and one day when I was rubbing a horse down, a shabby old fellow walked in and says,‘Are you Mrs. Sprague’s coachman?' ‘I believe so,’ I says. ‘Well,’ says he, ‘I guess we don't want any coachman this season.’ ‘Oh.’l says,‘you don’t, eh? Well, I don’t think you know anything about it.' ‘l'm Governor Sprague,’ he says. ‘l’m Mrs.Sprague’s coachman,’! says, ‘and I take my orders from her.’ Well, next day I got a little note from her, saying there was trouble and I had better go,quietly. Of course I knew at onee what she meant, but I won’t say about it till I hear from the senator, I know this, that when I saw old Sprague, I didn’t wonder if such a handsome woman did go back on him.”

Romance of the Oil Region.

Tltusvilla World. Napoleon Rogers lived with his parents in the beautiful city of Titus ville, on the banks of Oil creek. Na poleon was young and ambitious. He was smitten with the charms of Lucinda Merkel. After an ardent courtship, he took his ease to Mr. Merxel, the father of the fair Lucinda. Adolph Merkel was a merchant,and had accumulated gold galore, while Napoleon was poor as an outside refiner. “No!” said the father, sternly. “You, who cannot support yourself, have no right to ask for the hand of my daughter. Go!” and he spurned him with his boot. When Napoleon struck the sidewalk, he turned with flashing eyes: “Mark j’ou, Adolph Merkel, the day will come when your miserable store will not be a peanut stand compared with one I shall own!” Young Napoleon disapjieared. Years rolled on., . Our hero had been toiling upon the Pacific slope, and had erected a business house in Chicago that was gramlbeyond compare. It was filled with rare and radiant-fcoods from the looms of every land. Napoleon had photographs taken of the inside and outside of his magnificent trade palace, and sent them to Adolph Merkel, who had refused him the hand of his daughter because of his poverty. FINIS. The store was mortgaged for more than it was worth; the goods belonged to another party; Lucinda was married to a red-headed oil-broker, and was fat and had twins.

Training Circus Horses.

“How long,” asked the reporter, “does it take to break a horse in?” , “From eighteen months to two years, for gbod anil i.ure pad-riding. Care has to b<‘ taken that he does not shy or break his gait, but goes round the circus ring at an even pace, so that the performer can do whatever he wants, by time. If this is not secured the performer can never tell where he is going to jump. Much, however, depends u|M>n what the horse is being trained for, all the best horses being used only for a special performance. Ln most cases. the riders, if they are experienced, train their own animals, and thus, when they are ridd n, they understand much better what is required of them. Ducrow, Madame Dou krill, Melville, Sebastian, Stickney, Cooke, Reed and the like all train their own horses and own them. This system of private training has only been in practice a few years. Managers of a circus, under the old customs, were always expected to furnish pad-horses, and those required for two and four-act performances, so that a performer going from one company to another w’ould always find a horse ready for him to mount, and in*a short time horse and rider would be able to understand each other. Nowadays some of the crack stars have as many as eight or ten horses of their own, most of them trained for a special, performance. They are very valuable, most of them being full-blooded, and imported from, England and France. Great care has to oe taken of them, as they are extrenriely liable to take cold after a ring performance.”

A Man of the World on Actresses.

Laboocbere to London Truth. Actresses live in a world of their own. They generally exaggerate every sentiment. Their real life is tinged with their theatrical life and high-wrought melodrama becomes a second nature to them. Few of them have a perfectly sane notion of existence; they exist in the feeling of the moment. They are generally incapable of taking an interest in the ordinary occupations of their sex; at one moment tney are in the wildest spirits, at another in the depth of despair, and those with whom they come In contact are in their eyes alternately either melodramatic villains plotting tneir destruction or those angelic beings that have no existence out of plays. If they are asked why they love or they hate, they insist that they are endowed with a peculiar instinct, and this instinct, which most people would call unreasonable caprice, they exalt as something far superior to practical intelligence and glory in being its submissive slaves. Tnere are certain qualities which go to make an actress, and most of them make a lunatic. All actresses are. of Course, not necessarily mad, but If I were on a jury empaneled to try an actress for murder I should approach the inquiry with the feeliug that nature had probably not l>een lavish to her in that harmony of intellectual |>ower which produces moral responsi-

Taxation and Education in Missouri.

The state taxes In Missouri are 40 cents on ths |IOO. One-half, or 20 cents, is for general expenses; the other half is for paying interest on the debt, and the debt itself, as it matures—and for no other purpose. These taxes are found ample for the ourpose, and are the only state taxes levied on property. Their proceeds constitute, together with certain licenses, the entire revenue. The free educational system of the state is steadily growing in extent and efficiency, and is at this time in a better condition than it ever was before. The number of children of school age—s to 21 years- increased from 676,153 in 1877 to 723,484 in 1880, and the total funds held in trust for school purposes in the state amount to |8,950,806; and in addition to the annual interest on these funds there are district taxes levied in nearly every county in the state for the support of the schools. The colored children of the state share in the general benefits of free education, and the Lincoln Institute at the state capital,

under the management of well qualified colored teachers, Is maintained for the education of colored youth in the higher branches of learning.

Elegance of Home.

Dr. Halaxaa. I never saw a garment too fine for man or maid; there never was a chair too good for a cobbler or a cooper or a king to sit in; never a house too fine to shelter the human head. These elements about us—the glorious sky. the imperial sun-*-are not too good for the human race. Elegance fits man. But do we not value these tools for housekeeping a little mure (han they are worth, and sometimes mortgage a house for tirt* mahogany we bring into it? I had rather eat my dinner oft the head of a barrel, or dress after the fashion of John the Baptist in the wilderness, or sit on a block all r.iy life, than consume all myself before I got to a home, and take so much pains with the outside that the inside was as hollow as an empty nut. Beauty is a great but beauty of garment, hoiise and furniture are tawdry ornament compared with domestic love. All the elegance in the world will not make a spoonful of real, hearty love nor will whole shiploads of furniture, and all the gorgeousness all the upholsterers in the world can gather.

Brightening Tinware.

One of the best things I have ever tried for keeping tins bright is waterlime. This is a soft brown substance that polishes metals without scratching the surface, and is very cheap; Also rub your tins with a damp cloth, then* take dry flour and rub it on with your hands and afterwards take an old newspaper and rub the flour oft, and the tin, will shine as well as if half an hour had been spent in rubbing them with brick-dust or powder. Another good thing for brightening tinware is common soda. Dampen a cloth and dip in soda and rut) the ware brisklv, after which wipe dry, and it will look equal to new. To prevent the rusting of tin, rub fresh lard over every part of the dish, and then put in a hot oven and heat it thorougly. Thus treated, any tinware may be used in water constantly, and remain bright and free from rust.

How English Wives Keep House.

English wives, high and low, keep household accounts in a way that would surprise many American women. Every penny spent in the house goes down in the “housekeeper’s book,” with w’hich every mistress of a household is provided. Every bill is filed away carefully when receipted. In fact, a perfect system of order prevails, which enables every man to know’ exactly what it costs him to keep up his home. In that country every expenditure is made to bear its proper relation to the income received. House rent must be only such a percentage, table outlay so much, servant’s wages so much, children’s schooling so much, alms-giving so much, and if at the end of the year it is found that the income has been exceeded these people immediately proceed to t educe items in every department. The general style of their living remains dbout the same, but it is necessarily not quite so genuine.

The Inter-State Commerce Bill.

Naw York Hera'd. One immediate result the consolidation is likely to have; It will help Mr. Reagan to pass through congress at this session the inter-state commerce bill. It will strengthen the vote for the bill in the house and secure it some influential friends in the senate, who have hitherto held aloof from it. There is a sudden feebng in the air that this regulation of corporation may very likely become at once a great anil leading public • question, and that the popular side will be that of very decided interference and regulation in such manner as to protect the public rigorously against the constant selfish schemes of a few capitalists, who play with public interest for the mere object of doubling and redoubling their millions.

Ventilation.

The temptations to close rooms and lioor ventilation begin now to increase, [t is cheaper to heat a room which is entirely shut up, if fuel is only considered; but if doctors’ bills,'loss of time,and shortened life aud medicines are taken into account, there is not much economy in the saving of fuel by shuting out fresh air. Fashion sometimes stumbles into a good path, and the revival of open fire places is an instance. The poor city children, who are thrown like shuttlecocks from the terrible schoolroom to the almost as terrible playroom at home, get scarcely enough fresh air in their passage from one to the other to keep them alive, and they fall an easy prey to the foes, scarlet fever, diptheria and the like, which now go stalking about. This warning is nothing new, neither is the evil; and while the evil lasts we must keep giving the warning.

Benjamin Harrison, the great grandfather of the new senator from Indiana, was sent in 1774 as a delegate from Virginia to congress. From that date until his death, in 1791, he was prominent in public affairs, being a signer of the declaration of independence, twice a member of congress and three times gdvernor of Virginia. His son, General William Henry Harrison, served his country, both in the army and in cjivil office, from 1791 until 1841, when he died, one month after taking the oalh of office as President. President Hairison’s son, John Scott Harrison, was a member of Congress from 1833 to 1837, and died a year or two ago at his home in Cincinnati. General Benjamin Harrison, the new senator, was born August 20, 1833, at his grandfather’s home at North Bend, Ohio, some fifteen miles below Cincinnati, on the Ohio river.

The pope’s letter of January 3 to the Irish C atholic bishops has been published. It amounts to no more than an expression of the lively interest the Vatican takes in the welfaie of its faithful and devoted people in Ireland and a request that the bishops shall use their influence to allay excited feelings aud keep the influence of passion from lighting the flames of sedition. It Is the opinion of his holiness that the Irish people are more likely to obtain what the wantby adopting a course that the laws allow, an avoiding offense, than they will by an ultra and revolutionary one. Moderation, submission to thorn; In authority, cte., are enjoined. The letter contains nothing either new or alarming, gnd Is not Hkelp to have much Influence with those who are committed to the land reform agitation.

An angel was descrilx‘d by a certain excitable person at the Seventh Day Adventists’ tabernacle, Battle (’reek, Mich., on new year’s eve. It appeared at a large window, and was distinctly seen for at least a minute. The attention of those present was attracted toward it by a brilliant light which streamed through the window. It is described as dressed in flowing white garments, with a halo about its head from which radiated the most brilliant light—so bright that those who looked upon it were dazzled, being unable to take their gaze from it until it disappeared as suddenly as it appeared. r The following Is an epitaph from a tomb near \ e real Iles: “Except in 1859 during which for several days she took lessons on tha piano, her life was without a strain?'

Tide Marks.

It was low tide when we we o the beach, and the great gray rocks stood up bare and grim above the water; but high up, on all their sides, was a black line that seemed hardly dry, though it was far above the water. ‘What makes that black mark on the rocks?’ I asked of my friend. ‘Oh! that is the tide-mark,’ she replied. “Every day, when the tide comes in, the water rises and rises until it reaches that line, and jn a great many years it has worn away the stone until the mark is cut into the rock.’ ‘Oh!’ thought I,‘that is all, is* it?’ Well, I have seen a great many people that carry tide-marks on their faces. Right in front of me was a pretty little girl with delicate features and" pleasant blue eyes. But she had some queer little marks on her forehead, and I wondered how they came to be there, until presently her mother said: ‘Draw down the blind now, Carrie, the sun shines right in baby’s face.’ ‘I want to look out,’ said Carrie in a very peevish voice. But her mother insisted, and Carrie drew the blind, and turned her face away from the window. Oh! dear me! what a face it was! The blue eyes were full of frowns instead of smiles, the pleasant lips were drawn up in an ugly pout, and the queer marks on her forehead had deepened into actual wrinkles. ‘Poor liitle girl,’ I thought, ‘how badly you will feel when you grow up, to have your face marked all over with the tide-marks of passion; for these evil tempers leave their marks Just as surely as the ocean does, and I lave seen many a face stamped so deeply with self-will and covetousness, that it must carry the marks to the grave.’ ‘Take care, little folks! and whenever you give way to bad temper, remember the “tide-marks.” — Selected.

Poisonous Waters of the Sea.

•j Savannah News. The Tampa (Florida) Tribune says that “the high tides on the new moon last week brought up to town the poisoned waters which has been killing the fish in Tampa bay for several weeks past. Down at the wharves and along the river hanks last Saturday fish could be seen dying in considerable numbers. The nigh tides also brought up a good many already dead, so that it was quite disagreeable near the river or bay shore on account of the stench from dead fish.” The Tribune further reports on the same subject that “the dead fish left on the shore by the high tides had become such a nuisance by Monday morning that the authorities had to have them gathered up and buried. Major Rawles had to have the same thing done in the garrison. We hardly think that we exaggerate in stating that fully one hundred barrels of dead fish lined the shore within the corporate limits and the garrison grounds.”

Why They Do It.

People have been led to commit suicide by various causes. Many a young man has killed himself in despair because a girl has jilted him. Not long ago a Texas man put a bullet through his brain because he thought he had killed his mother-in-law; he did not propose tobehungi for that offense. In the same state a grown-up girl shot herself because her mother whipped her; and a boy of thirteen killed himself because "his cruel parents refused to allow him to <narry the girl he loved. A North Carolina young lady drowned herself because her father failed of an election to the legislature; a twenty-year-old youth of "the same state shot "hintself because his fattier would not al-| low him-to lie abed in the morning; and a woman took a fatal dose of Paris green because her neighbors gossiped about her.

Landmarks.

Eastern fields were not divided by hedge, or wall, or ditch, so there was much danger of confusing the separate properties of individuals.

The injunction not to remove a neighbor’s landmarks was therefore of the utmost importance.— English Paper.
