The Indiana Legislature convenes one week from to-day. The body of a man cut in three pieces and neatly done up in two packages, was lately found, stowed away in some large pieces of unused water-pipes, in a park in Philadelphia. The case is a mystery although, under the circumstances, the possibility of suicide would hardly be entertained, even by a Cincinnati private detective.

Hereafter Judges in the state of New York will use some such formula as this, in passing sentence of death on gentlemen condemned to suffer the extreme penalty of the law: “It is now the judgment of this court that on such a day, between the hours of &c., the sheriff of your county, will attach securely to your person the two business ends of a double back action electrical what-’do-you-call-it and then and there proceed hold open the thingamagee until you be just as dead as though you had been hung for it”

The progress of Rensselaer during the year *BB is a string that will bear considerable harping upon. Twenty-one new residences during the year, most of them pretty good ones, five of six made practically new; numerous smaller improvements, all over town, at an aggregate cost of several thousands of dollars; money and site secured and work begun on a splendid brick church;a flourishing building association, with a big capital stock, successfully organised; good fire apparatus purchased and a big, bold company organganized, equipped and fully diseiplined; a good and spacious building for a tows hall and engine house bought, paid for and fitted up and lastly a big and well endowed educational institution located adjacent to the town and be followed during the- present year by a still larger, but of a different character; veriy who shall say that Rensselaer is not a live town with a biilliant future in prospect?

Presidential Post-Offices.

The Indianapolis Journal,-of a late date, published a fall list of all the presidential post-offices in this state, 96 in number. It also gave the name of the present postmaster at each office, his predecessor’s n&me, the date of the expiration of his commission, the amount of his yearly salary and also indicates whether the former incumbent served out his full term or was fired out to make room for his hungry successor.

Death of William Grayson.

William Grayson, who lived on a small place near the river, about a mile and a half west of town, died last Sunday night, of eryesipelas and a complication of diseases, after a sickness of about two weeks. His age was about 35 years and he leaves a widow and two young children, to mourn his untimely death. The funeral was held Tuesday, at Barkley church, Rev. E. G. Pelley conducting the services. Interment was made in the Brown Cemetery, in Barkley township.

OBITUARY. Mrs. Belle Wairen, wife of Harrison Warren, died at her home in Newton tp., Thursday, De.c. 20, 1888, of lung fever, at the age of 29 years and 10 months. Her illness was brief. She passed into the happy beyond, without fear or murmur, to meet her God, whom she so sincerely trusted while living. The husband mourns the loss of a dear wife, four small children the loss of a kind and affectionate mother. Her many relatives and friends grieve the loss of one so good and true, and all extend their heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved husband and motherless children. v %♦

Portland’s Aristocratic Chinaman. Portland. Ore., has a Chinaman who Isas set up his own private carriage, and it would be safe to say that no other city iu America can say the same-, probably no city in the world can, for it is not customary for even the Emperor of China, or any of his grandees, to use horses or carriage. The man referred to is Seid Back, a well known Front street merchant, who was seen taking an airing in a neat road cart behind a quiet pony, which he lately purchased. Seid Back has not only invested in a horse and carriage, UuL-b::.< several pieces of' real (State in the citv; owns stock in several corporations which yield handsome dividends, ami is among die subscribers to the new hotel. lie is ♦ell known ind has good standing among business man.

THE YOUNGEST COWBOY.

A Wonderfully Developed Specimen ot 9 Younr, Amerien. z . n/.-. The youngest cowboy In the world is a phsent visiting this city, says a letter from Fort Worth. He is Logan Miilhad, a herd-owner in the Cheyenne nation, and he is just a month or so over 6 years old. The boy owns over one hundred head of cattle, has his own brand, which is duly registered, and he does fully as much of his own work as any boy of 6 years, has done, even in the West. This very juvenile patriarch is a son of Zach Mulhall, well knowm the cow country, and his father ft firmly convinced that such another young prodigy has not yet appeared in the grazing lands. The young geutlemap was formally put in possession of a herd some months ago He has had made for himself a little Winchester rifle and la special revolver, with both of which arms he is said to be very expert. The boy has his own bunch of horses and hires his own help—of course, under the superintendence of his father—and during the present spring he has everyday ridden a line of more than three miles.about his herd. This is a development of Young America which the herders in these parts do not believe can be equaled in any other part of the country. The boy it worth about $1,200 in his own right, anc bis profits will not be less than SSOO i. year, which is more than falls to the lot bl the average 6-year-old.

THE MAID AND THE VIPER.

An Exciting and Painful Experience witl a Snake. In the family of a settler who reside* some half a league from Paramctta was an invalid daughter of an extremely nervous temperament. She was sleeping one summer afternoon in a hammock swung between two standards in the shade of the piazza, when she was suddenly awakened by feeling something cold and moist clinging about hCr throat. She-put her hand to the spot and clasped the body of a snake just back of the head, and, with & horrified cry, wrenched with all het strength to wrench it away. This wastue first instinctive action of the moment, but so great was her terror that she speedily lost all consciousness of her position. Her baud, however, still grapsed the snake where she had first seized it, and with such convulsive force that the creature was rendered powerless. The cry of the terrified girl brought the father from with in the house, who instantly came to her relief; but in the fit which her fright in duced her hand slowly contracted about the creature’s throat with a force Which she could not possibly have exerted when awake, and, before her fingers were unclasped by the aid of a bit of hammock cord the reptile was completely strangled Fortunately the creature had not bitten the girl before she seized it and after that it was unable to do so. It is said to have been four feet long and of a jyoisonoui species. . ' < • Dumas. ‘ The daily life of. Alexander Dumas is a model of regularity. He is out of bed nt 6:39 in summer and not later than 7 o’clock in the winter. His first breakfast consists solely of a glass of milk, and the second which occurs at noon, is a very plain meal. He dines at 7 and is usually in bed by 10. ’ Every day he takes a walk of some length. All his work is done before 4 o’clock in th* afternoon.

Helping Her Husband.

It is often said that one difference between men and women is that with men second thoughts are best, while women are likely to be nearest right when they ar tor speak upon the first impulse; but there are some things which even clever women can not do perfectly without some preliminary practice. A woman whose husband is an editor one day said to him, “Type setting looks so easy, I know I could do it just as well as anything. Let me help.” Although Hanscom is his own compositor, he didn’t accept this offer at once. But his wife was in the office alone one day when a wedding notice was brought in by Mr. John Jackson. “Oh,” she said, gleefully, "I’ll iust set this up and slip it in the form, ana won't George be surprised when he sees it in print?” It therefore appeared as follows in the next issue of the paper: maRRIEo: at Tqe KeSponcE Of xhe BRI Des pahntsts on wenday eveng Bep! 78»| Mr!
