TKRRE HAUTE, OCT. 13,1877.
Los Angeles has bad a geometrical kind of a lawsuit in this wise: A bad a sick horse. offered to kill said horse for|5. When the fatal moment arrived B's nerves gave out, so he said to C, 'C kill this ere boas for me, and 15 in lawful currency will be thine.' 'B,' said C, *1 will.' So led the horse gently away to be killed. But, lieing a wise man and a prudent, lie thought that if be could restore the horse to health, it were better than death, so be administered
unto
him
sundry pills and potions, and ye horse recovered. One aay A saw driving deadboree, so called, and cried aloud, •Give me of my horse.' 'I will see thee apostrophe double x'd first,' remarked C, who was a man of fine mind, but indifferent moral culture. So A sued C, and the jury brought in a verdict in favor of the latter, and the plaintiff discovered, to bis sorrow, that A sometimes stands for ass, and for an uncommonly cute fellow.
The prisoners in the St. Louis Jail, es pecially the negroes, believe it is haunted, and are in ajstate of abject terror. A woman has died from the effect of fright. William Morgan, an old, insane negro, had been an inmato for many years. His wild, rolling eyes, bis hagsard face, and his spectral figure made Kim an object of awe. He was regarded as a wizard by the other negro prisoners, who eagerly listen *d to every word or bis wild ravings. The old man died and nervousness overcame bis followers. Then the death of the women added to the terror of the prisoners and to them the jail is now haunted by two ghosts instead of ono. Their situation has become really pitiable. They are oppressed by gloom,which grows deeper and deep* eras night comes on ana when darkness arrives, and the ghosts stalk through the cells, they are not only too terrified to sleep, but they break out in tbo wildest shrieks of agony and fear. They beg to be sent to tbe penitentiary, or any other place that is not haunted.
FBOF. SWIJJO commends the southern Methodist conference which has had the courage to suggest that pulpit orators should avoid 'a frequent drinking of water during sermons,' and should not 'finger the leaves of the Bible, nor pound the desk while preaching,' and that tbe congregation should 'wear costs to cbnrcb, and walk in softly—not like mules on a bridge.' Tbe incident reminds bitn, that In an Ohio circuit there flourished once, like a green bay tree, a Methodist preacher by the name of Bnrdsoll, who always showed his earnestness over a theme by tbe amount of clothing he removed during the discussion of the tf-xt. When tbe Sunday was rather warm and tbe text was a pretty good one, such as 'How can ya escape if ye neglect so great salvation?'this broth or would take off his coat early in the hour of the elucidation. As tbe terrors of tbe world, from which man ought to escape, wonld open up to his rural imagination, his long black neckerchief, wbich was more like a bandage for a broken limb than for a clerical decoration, would be suddenly unwound and be bung at ross tbe high box in which tbo elocution was takiug place, and onward would move tbe language, if not tbe thought. By the time this preacher bad reached tbe close, and was pounding tho Bible by way of peroration, there was nothing loft on the man except a few of tbe most essential articles of tbe toilet. f-
A HA NOTIFIED WOMAN:1 In ac&mp meeting In New York State a woman related ber experience in giving up certain articles of ornament and gay attire that she bad loved. She said thai at first she resolved to wear no more artificial flowers, gay colored ribbons, handsome silks, ear ornaments, nor bro*ches but one idol remained. It WHS ber wedding ring. At lost she reaolvod to throw ibis away too, and whan she did It the blessing of sanctificatlon oame. The Methodist says: "Asshe etood in the audience Velating the great change that had come over ber, she displayed an immense mass of false hair wound upon tho back of ber bead, upon whloh wn« mounted atop knot of a bat, neither protection from sun or cold, nor ornamental to behold. She disclosed beneath a halt ca»-t-off shawl a corseted w«lst which was mluced tosucb diminutive proportions as to appear painfully abnormal. She supported paddings,

Tbe hlgbt of this tower was somewhat over a foot. One single white rosebud lay on its top like an eagle on a haystack. Over ber neck and io«om was folded a lace handkerabtef. fastened in front by a bosom pin containing ber grandfather's miniature est in virgin gold. Her airy form was braced up in a satin drees, the sleeves aa tight as tbe natural skin of tbe arm, with a waist formed by a bod dice, worn oataide, from whence the skirt flowed of}, and was distended at the top by aa ample hoop.

TRIBUTE TO WOMAN. We have seen many beautiful tributes to lovely woman, bnt the following Is one of the finest we ever read: Place her among the flowery, foster her as a tender plant, and abe is a thing of fancy and waywardness—annoyed by a dewdrop, fretted by tbe touch of a butterfly's wing, ready to faint at tbe sound of a beetle, or the Tattling of a window pane at night, and she is overpowered Dy tbe perfume of tbe rosebud.* But let real calamity come, rouse her affections, enkindle tbe fires of her heart, and mark her then! How strong is lier heart! Place her in the heat of battlegive ber a child, a bird, or anything to protect—and see her, in a relative instance, lilting her white arms as a shield as her own blood crimsons ber upturned forehead, praying for her life to protect tbe helpless. Transplant her in the dark places of tbe earth, call forth her energies to action, and her breath becomes a healing, her presence a blessing. She disputes inch by inch the strides of a stalking pestilence, when man, the strong ana brave, pale and affrighted, shrinks away. Misfortune haunw her not. She wears away a life of silent endurance, and goes forward with less timidity than to her bridal. In prosperity she is a bud full of odors, waiting for tbe winds of adversity to scatter them abroad—pure gold, valuable, but untried In the furnace. In short, woman is a miracle, a mystery, the center from which radiates the charm of exist-
eno6,
TtfB MONOTONY OF EIFS." The general character is that of monotony. Whether we regard the life of man, or the life of beasts,«wo are struck by the same remarkable*' fact, that life, to all outward appearance, is a monotonous succession of scenes and movements—but all incidental. We wonder how the interest is kept up. But we never tire of going to bed at night, and we are very sorry when we tire of getting up in the morning. We never weary, except with regret, of breakfasting, dining and supping and yet these actions are repeated incessantly three hundred and sixty-five times in the year, with renewed excitement on every succeeding occasion. We take off our clothes once every day, and put them on once every day. We do this at nearly the same hour, in daily succession and when health is good the pleasure derived from so doing is not marred by tbe repetition of the act for the ebbing and the flowing of our bodily sensations prepare us, without any effort on our part, for all tbe vicissitudes of our existence. When hungry, food is agreeable when weary, sleep or rest is a treat when warm, cool air Is refreshing when cold, tbe pleasure derived from a cheerful fire is delicious. The excitement is kept up by contrasts and we purchase
youth, ana prosperity be weary. It is age, and weakness, and poverty that prepares us for death and even that comes easy upon most men, at last, like a sleep, and the heaviness ol the heart gives even the last sleep a welcome. ______________
HOW SHE PLAYED IT ON HIM. For some time past Thomas Stepp, a gentleman of color, has paid unceasing attention to Miss Ellen Hickman, also of color, at Stanford, Ky. Either by docree of the fates or some other reason, Miss Ellen failed to reciprocate the tender love or her admirer and strove on all occasions to avoid him. But Thomas would take no rebuff, so his enamorata agrued that if he would procure the license she would marry him. Inheriting nonw of tbe doubtful qualities of his ancient namesake, Thomas took ber at her word and invested the sum of fi.50 in a licet se, and having seoured the services of a preacher sailed forth to be made tbe happiest of men. On arriving at ber home he found everything in readiness, and tbe ceremony proceeded. The solemn words were spoken, and Thomas imagined himself a married man. But it seems that tbe faithless Helen had procured the services of a boy, whom she dressed in woman's clothes, and after having veiled him, made bin* take ber part in tbe ceremony. When Thomas found out tbe joke that bad been played on him he was frantio with mortification and rage—but unable to remedy matters he beat a hasty retreat, followed by tbe minister, who also felt that he had been shamefully victimised.

After the wonders that science has already aohiev w?, lie would be told who should say tVat this problem can never be solved. Unfortunately, we cannot hope for much from the improvement of our telescopes the increase of their magnifying power. The disturbances produced by our atmosphere are aggravated by every such increase. But when the problem of life in other worlds is solved—if it ever shall be—it seems safe to say that it will be by the attentive study or oar near neighbor.—[Gbarles W.

V9TIC VIRTUE A FALLACY. [Galaxy for October.] Most persona believe that dtiea are neata of crime, and we hear acrest deal of tbe wholesome, moral ana physical influences of rural life. This also is a m*re notion. There hi no more prolific neat of crime than a small community like that of which the Jnkes (including member* of forty families, it should be remembered,) seemed to have formed a part. There are many akMh nests scattered over the country. People of vi»nsitles oome dona and criminal propenai to sittaa

than they
could find at home. A very considerable
part, if not the majority, and habitual arimioataln cities are of rural or at least provincial birth and breeding, Tbe notion of superior rustic virtue is a mere notion.

The «Good Timet" When Forty-Five Bushel* offolaihc* Bought Myfht Yards p/ CQUco. v: [Qaleaburg I'rtM.]
Hie editor of the Proip distinctly recollects in 1841, when living in Chicago, of conversing with Authors who eatne to that city from DeKalb and Winnebago counties with loads of wheat (forty bushels was considered a load in those muddy times in the fall), and selling It for twenty-eight cents a bnshol. We have seen good milch cows sold in this State in the earlier days for from |5 to $10, the latter figure being considered an extra prioe. We have also seen pork sold in Ogle county for ninety ceuts per hundred pounds.
We visited the old battlo ground of Tippecanoe, near Lafayette, Ind., during tbe big barbecue in 1S40, and saw corn cribs half a mile long packed with good corn that had been offered for eight cents a bushel, and could Hud no purchasers and this on the Wabash river, with a good stage of water to the Ohio and Mississippi livers.
We know of one farmer by tbe name of Hunt who lived in Kane oouuty, near Geneva, in those early days, who took a load of potatoes (46 bushels) to Chicago and traaed tbe whole load for eighty yards of common calico. That was the best he could do with his 'truck/

DEAD WOOD DEATH.
[Citcinnali Enqn rer Correspondence. As I was resting in a camp on the outskirts of Dead wood, a jolly -faced man came along and asked for a job He was told that every man was working for himself, and making poor wages at that, when be replied: 'Gentlemen, I haven't had one good meal in three weeks, I haven't been able to get a day's work I'm dead broke, and the curtain is going to ring down on this tragedy right here and right now!'
He stepped around the fire, pulled a revolver from a miner's belt, and then retreating back a pace or two, he said: 'Gentlemen, I'm going to bell I've starved aronnd tbe Black Hills for three months, and if there is any bigger hell than this I'm envious to see it! Excuse me for wasting ammunition, but here I go—crack!'
He put tbe muzzle of the revolver to his forehead and never kicked after the report. No man rose up to restrain him Alter a few minutes the owner of the re volver walked over and secured it, and, as he wiped a spot of blood off the barrel, he growled ou^: 'Blast his eyes!

A PARISIAN MONSTER GUILLOTINED^ SICKENING SCENE OF TERROR.
FARM, September ^Pierre Jean Welker, the odious aau«ssln of a little girl in tbo Rue STatiounl-sbo was eight, and bo strangled bef with her skipping rope, outraged her dead body and went to sleep, using her corpse aa his pillow —has beeb guillotined. Tbe warrant designated a^thfttoour "aboHt5:30 a.m." and somewharmfwr aldnl«bt tbe maobi no arrived and was noiselessly set up with wooden screws, only about one hundred ami fitly,persona b&iilg attracted to the oddestae military and police. Ono o( them was a woman. It was 4:48 wbuu M.-Koch had everything in working oid«*r and tried tho fall of tbe axe then ho and bis assistants, Jacob, tl»c el.i. of the detective service, and the abbe Crozrs, wbo hnsaccompaniedfto muDv score# of murderers to tb© guillotine,'and whose hack, No. 148, is as much apart of the procession as M. Roch's van entered tbe prison. Welker was a fearful coward, who had wept and moaned and torn Ids hair when sentence was passed, and when' he was placed in tbe condemned cell, but be believed the merciful talsehood that forty days must elapse before the carrying out of sentence, which jail attendants always tell to confiding prisoners and, thinking he had still souie time left to him. and also having faith that bis petition for mercy would be heard be had gotten over his terror, ate freely and slept soundly. So sonndly was he sleeping this morning that neither the opening of his cell door nor the light of the lanterns disturbed him. Jacob shook him by tbe shoulder, and the clerk said loudly, "Wake up, Welker, your petition has been rejected you mast prepare to die." A horrible sound, half tbe cry of a wild bgaat, half a death rattle, issued from tbe^Hflserable man's throat, and he fell back on bisbed convulsively biting the coverlet. "Have you anything to say? Do you want some brandy?" asked Jacob but Welker did not hear him, and lay raCtod by convulsive shudders. He was lifted out of his bed, and made a vain effort to draw on his trowsers. but he could not stand, and tumbled again ppon bis couch* Tho veins of bis forehead and "temples stood out like knotted his eyes were filmy, his jaw had fallen, and a cold sweat was pouring down his asby face. The abbe Crozes spoke to bim earnestly. Roch ask^d, "Do I hurt you?" as be bound his hands,put Welker made no answer, beard nothing, was as one dead. Indeed, the attendants were urged to make Tiaste or he_wonld die of fritzbt in their bands. Two of them bad to carry him out with his arms
walked backward before him to shut out the sight of the machine of death, but the merciful precaution was heedless. Welker knew nothing. His body foil upon the plank like a bag of sand, and a rnomert later the ax fell. Owing to the difficulty of placing the inert uody in position, the ax shored away the head diagonalty* taking off a part of the shoulder, and leaving apiece of the jaw attaci'od to the other. So large was the murderer's skull that it got jammed in the bucket into which it fell, and could onlv neahakeu out by pounding on the invert* ti vessel. It was 4:48 when the officers entered the prison to take out their man it was 5:06 when the ax fell, the time occupied being less than was taken in the cate of Billoir. Roch thinks that with all circumstances favoring him he can reduce the time to twelve minutes—that is to say, there will be for the criminal an interval of less than ten minutes bteween sleep and death. But how many ages of mental agony in those ten minutes!
At tbe Chicago market, the other dav, a pale fuced, solemn man took off his hat, smoothed beck his hair, and said: •My friends! we know not bow soon we may fall by the wayside. We stand We to day next week we may sleep with the dead. I feel that I have only a few more days to stay, and I wish sooo© of you would lend me fifty cents so that I can get
