THIS year of 1878 will be marked as one of great heat, tornadoes and pestilence.

NIAGARA FALLS is regaining its lost prestige. It has been more generally visited this season than for several years.

THIS weather is peculiarly favorable to the spread of summer epidemics. Show a sensible regard for your health by exercising care.

THII American Bible Society in printing a five cent edition of the New Testament, and so great is the demand that 1,000 are issued daily.

A DRUNXKN man at Milbury, Mara, shot bis employer, one day last week and his wife says it is her belief he was inaited thereto by reading one of Dennis Kearney's speeches.

BEN BVTLXB makes one good suggestion, at least. He favors a jury system so that a man cannot serve on a jury oftener than once in three years, thus breaking up professional jurymen.

GRANT and Key is to be the ticket for 1880, acoording to Assistant Postmaster General Tyner, who says he conversed with some of the leaders of the movement during his trip to Europe. Tyner Is suspected of wanting Key's place.

M. O. FROST, the editor of the Marshall Herald, has been sued for libel. S. 8. Whitehead, under indictment for killing Ryan, wants damages. In the last newspaper libel verdict we have aoted, the jury was out more than the editor was.

Iv it is true, as is reported, that Mrs. Tilton contemplates preparing a history of her experience with Mr. Beecher which she will leave for publication after her death, we sincerely hope that Providence will spare her life for along time yet. That is, if the document is to be based on her last published confession.

IT is something like "cracking a joke at a funeral," to try to make humor out of snch sad material as the yellow fever •oonrge. We allude to the headings in some newspapers over the dispatohes from the plague stricken districts, such as "Saffron Soourge," "Jungle Jack," and other alliterative lines.

THB Devil seems to have been turned loose this summer and to have in all parts of the country fiends in human shape all too ready to do his bidding. The columns of the daily papers fairly reek with tales of crime, that for devillah Ingenuity and diabolioal villainy fairly startle the reader.

THINK of IT—F586,000,000 a year spent for "drinks" In this country, and men talk of bard times. If this money was pot Into bread and beef Instead of beer and whiskey, hard times would vanish like the mists of the morning. Here Is something the laboring men can reform and when they do they will have done more for the comfort and happiness of their families than can be accomplished in any other way.

F. B. WILKIB, of the ChicSgft Times, who has just returned from Europe, thus soma up in a word his opinion of the Paris exhibition: The French de pertinent is the department of taste the "English department Is the department of praotioal strength the Russian, Norwegian, Swedish and Danish depart meats are the departments of crudity the American department Is the department of ingenuity."

ANOTHER name is added to the remarkable list of this year's big thieves. Charles W. Angell, secretary of the Fall man palace car company, baa disappeared (torn Chicago with a large aonrant of the company's funds. The pemible maximum of the loss sustained lsfm/XK), partly in cash and partly in aeeurities of the oompany, which were In Ms custody as secretary. Disreputable •octal relations are assigned as the gM»e of his fall. I

THERE IS unquestionably a tendency in human nature to rash from one extreme to the other. Business has been awfully depressed for a long time. The indications are that in six weeks from now it will be booming again. The great majority of people are always discounting the future. When business is good they make It better by their energy, enthusiasm, and eonidenoa. When time* are dull they make them worse by their Mam and their want of oonfi. denoa. The tendency now is upward *nd 'those are wise who set their sails /or the first breors

Ow Tuesday last a body of masked men, numbering about seventy or eighty, forcibly entered the jail at Versailles, in Ripley county, this State, and shot to death a prisoner named Thomas N. Boyd, who was confined there on a charge of attempted rape. The. man bore a bad character and had been once before convicted of the same crime.

THE Peoria Call's bead is level when it says that the meanest imposition on travelers is the continued exhorbitanl prices charged by the Pullman car company. Railroads generally would do simple act of justice to the traveling public if they would refuse to haul their cars till there was a reduction in prices. But then railroads might do a better thing than that, probably. They might provide palace cars of their own.5?

WHEN one sees all the beautiful and ingenious things made nowadays for the amusement and entertainment children—the wonderful picture and story books, the fascinating games, the endless mechanical toys, and thousands upon thousands of other contrivances that delight boys and girls of the present day—it almost makes one wish he had put off being born till a little later in life so that he might have the pleasure of playing with some of them himself.

BUT a few more days intervene before the bankrupt law cases to operate and good many men in embarrassed circum stances are improving the shining hours, On Monday last E. B. Martindale, prominent citizen of Indianapolis, and for some time past sole proprietor of the Journal, filed his voluntary petition, His liabilities are upwards of (300,000, secured on property estimated to be worth |500,000. It is said th9 bankruptcy will not affect the Journal in anyway, and the paper will be published as here* tofore. 'sr'6

THE Bloomington Eye mentions as one cause of failure in business the feet that so few men have even an ordinary knowledge of book-keeping, and it does not take a man or firm long to become thoroughly tangled in the affairs of business loosely managed. When parents neglect to see that tbeir Sons are welf qualified in this direction, they may well have fears for their safety in business pursuits. A young man who assumes the perplexities of a business with his education deficient in this par' tlcular, walks upon thin ice, and it is not surprising to see him go under.

THE yellow fever scourge Is daily hire not introduced. A man meets spreading over the south, and makirig its way northward. We have it on good authority that there are several cases in St. Lonls, although the papers there say nothing about its presenoe. Thecondi tlon of many cities and towns in the gulf states is inexpressibly sad and mournful. The people, by thousands, are fleeing from the infected districts, and pitiful are the appeals for aid in money, food, nurses and physicians. The northern cities are responding nobly to these appeals, and all possible means are being adopted to stay the ravages of the dread plaguy

IT would be a good time now to try that theory of the Florida fellow who presented a petition to Congress last winter setting forth that epidemics, among them yellow fever, could be driven out by atmospheric ooncussion, suoh as that produced by firing cannon. He claimed that he had shot the yellow fever out of a town in Florida by bom bardlng the air. His theory was that the disease was communicated by living germs floating in the air—a theory now held by Prof. Tyndall and other eminent scientists—and that these germs can be killed and thus rendered powerless by violent agitation of ttie air which contains them.

THB wonderful progress in steam machinery comes forcibly to mind when it Is stated that the first locomotive englue ever placed on track on this continent was "steamed up" and started just fifty years ago laat 8unday. The trial trip was mado at Hoepedale, Pa., by the Stourbridge Uon, an engine built in Stourbridge, England, and the oredlt for this pioneer enterprise belongs to the Delaware and Hudson Canal Oompany. Mr. Horatio Allen, now 77 years of age, and a resident of South Orange, N. J., was the first man who pulled the throttle valve on that day, and to whom the obarge of building the engine was intrusted by the company when he was sent to England.

HOWEVER widely opinions may differ eonoerning the wisdom and practicability of the so-called Grant movement, it cannot be denied that it has been managed very adroitly. Instead,of retiring quietly to private life on the expiration of his tertnof office, and sinking out of pubUo sight and thought as he would have done, the ex-President at once embarked on a wide tour of foreign travel, visiting the capitals and palaces of the old world and receiving the moet flattering retentions at the hands of kings and noblea. By this means the papers have been kept full of his sayings and doings, the public gam has been kept fastened upon him, and be has been able to keep himself aloof from all politick] enfangto» ments and dear of all responsibility for anything that baa taken place. Coming leisurely on through Russia, India and China, he will arrive in the United States just at the time when political parties will be on the hunt for available candidates for the presidency and will have the full benefit of the gnat fame be has been reaping in foreign lands. The plan has been shrewdly conceived and executed.

DIME NOVELS.

A few weeks ago an account was given this paper of a very singular affair which occurrM at the town of Milton, in New York, a young lady named Louisa Henser having been found lying the floor in a nude condition. A prosecution was begun against one Dr. Millsr, as one of the parties engaged in perpetrating the outrage but the prosecution wss mysteriously permitted to fsll through. Later developments show up the heroine of the supposed tragedy In rather a bad light. It is stated that the girl Louisa ran away from home some years ago and is a curious compound of romance and hysteria. She was passionately fond of reading dime novels and fed her Imagination upon them. Atone time she went to a drug* store and purchased a bottle of red ink, the contents of which she proceeded to swallow. She went into convulsions and frothed at the mouth. A surgeon was called In and when the had recovered sufficiently to talk she laid the blame on the druggist* clerk. The papers wen filled with the aflhir and Louisa's love of the sensational was for a time satisfied. Afterwards she lived with another Dually where there were two dangbteni nearly her own age. One night- the two daughters went to the rink, and on their return home at about 19 o'clock in the evening found Louise stripped naked,

SCRUPULOTJa CONSCIENCES. Franklin, observing that a devout Catholic suffered from weakness on a fast day, mid that a oonsclenoe was often a very disagreeable possession. AJB the world is made up, sucoees depends on quick and rough calculations. Finehaired people wait toQ long for decisions. Spinoza, Kant, and ni^any such philosophers, in order to keep from bias, have eschewed marriage and4salariea so as to preserve the balance of independent minds. It is tolerably difficult for an average postmaster to speak his honest opinion of Grant or Hayes. Napoleon is reported to have said of his brother Joseph that he was too good a man to be a great man. If Simpkins sells eighty yards of cloth or thread for one hundred, his honest competitor will have a hard time to underbid him. It is to the ad vantage of honest dealers to hubt down the swindiersL A very tender conscience is in ordinary trade very much like tropical flower which needs the protection of a hot-house to live. As eiviliza tion advances such consciences have better chance. Bribery, drunkenness, highway robbery and slavery are not so prevalent as they were a hundred years ago. Free labor, sobef men, snd upright judges have a more equal chance for honors and riches.

There are some people, however, who have millenial consciences. They never can join a club, a church, or a party for some good object, because they smell something which offends. They mount compound microscopes before their eyes and die of thirst for fear they should swallow a tiny wiggle-tail which measures the one hundredth part of a line in diameter. They are too good to live, and they live too long for the good of others. They mistake a feeble and im potent judgment for samples of morality, and ignorant prejudices for religion They used to prevent Universalist Sun day schools from going to union picnics, for fesr the parental heresy would contaminate their youngsters. They shoul dered older heretics out of temperance meetings lest some line of the creed might be criticized. Such a conscience is mere plgheadness. It cannot be argued with, it must be laughed down The real difficulties in the way of walking through meshes of duty are great enotigh without inventing new ones.

GETTING ACQUAINTED. Did you ever think what a waste of life there is in walting'for formal introductions in obedience to the foolish laws of "society." Two persons stand aloof from each other for years because they

woman whom he likes at first glance, or vice versa, and the cold, hard laws of social life compel them to be strangers when they should be warm, personal friends. They feel themselves the victims of social tyranny, but have neither the manhood nor the womanhood to snap the chains which bind them. There is yet another class, who, after introduction, are difficult to become familiarly acquainted with for seme inexplicable reason. Once understanding each other they become firm friends, and are astounded that they suffered so muoh of Ijhelr short lives to be wasted when the time could have been spent in the most agreeable companionship. Such per sons, whether men or women, are never voluble, and are always modest. They fear to venture upon the sea of intimacy lest one or the other should be regarded as bold adventurers, and bow with formality when they-meet, and are as chary of their words as if each was an apple of gold. It may be said of such reticent people that they have an interior feeling of being misunderstood, and wonder why it is that traits of character are not seen and appreciated. Honest, truthful, without guile, they are privately astounded to think that such characteristics should be passed unheeded, by persons whom they think discerning. Well there is this comforting reflection when your thinking, silent lady or gentleman is understood, he or she is found to be possessed of a character specially formed for friendship, and for the perpetuation of the higher affections. Persons who overflow with talk, and are alwaya ready to smile and "bend the pregnant hinges of the knee,** do not, to use a familiar phrase, "wash well." They are everybody's friend, and yet nobody's friend, and have no ties that cannot be broken easily as a wisp of straw.

lying on the floor in front of the mirror, and in strong convulsions. Help was summoned, andwhen she was brought ontof the fit she averred there had been men in the room who had frightfully misused her. She was assured that no one but the inmates of the house had been in it that night, but held stoutly to her story. After one or two further incidents of an hysterical nature, Mr. Livingston refused to keep her longer, and she took up her residence with her sister st Milton. Presently the season for another sensation came round and the result wss the singular affair heretofore noticed. The repeated strange ao tions of the girl sre attributed to her eonstant reading of trashy novels and an inordinate love for the sensational. Cases illustrating the evil effects produced by this kind of literature are getting quite common. An eminent judge in New York City has expressed the opinion that much of the crime in .that place is due to the reading of the flashy and sensational weekly story papers publkhed there. They teach totally wrong ideas of life, and foster desires that are antagonistic to every principle of rational living, and by leading the youth of the land to the contemplation of brilliant achievements of pirates, robbers and othe£ criminal heroes, easily teach, them, to disregard the advioe of parents and teachers. There are upwards of twenty-five of these publications, with a circulation of about 400,000 copies, in New York City, not including dime novels, song books, Ac. The evil influence of these publications is almoist inconceivable^ and parents should be on their guard against it: .-•»

ON the local page mention is made of the arrest of John Smith for killing Bartholomew Foley. The latter had applied at Smith's house for something to eat, and because the table was not set out for bim became abusive and in suiting. Aiterwards when Smith bad left the house and his wife alone,* Foley returned and was trying to force an en trance, when Smith appeared and in flicted the Injuries which caused his death. 1/ Smith is a reader of the papers it is not to be wondered that in his rage he killed the man. Again and again mention has been made of the numerous and horrib)e outrages on women, which tramps are committing this summer. And the terrible business is increasing Not a day passes that the telegraph does not record one or more cases of rape and outrage of a character to make the read er sick with horror. In the country and thinly settled districts, it almost seems as if no man's wife, sister or mother is safe any more. A few weeks ago three tramps outraged a young lady teacher alone In her school house, and then cut her tongue out. A few days ago, at Brattleboro, Vermont, a fourteen year old girl was gagged and brutally out raged by one of these "unemployed workmen," within a short distance of her home. The same day an orphan in mate of St. Mary's Convent, at. New Bedford Pa., went to the spring for a pall of water, when a human devil sprang upon her, choked her, and dragged her into the bushes, and nearly killed her. About tbe first of August, two tramps in Henry oounty, Iowa, stopped at a farmer'a house and begged for their jdtap?r. Tbe farmer'a wife gave them an excellent one. Alter eating their fill they assaulted her, outraged her, and left her Insensible. Ber little daughter screamed and shrieked. They rolled the child tight up in a blanket to stop its cries, and it died from suffocation Adding to tbe list is not necessary. It could be continued indefinitely. We do hot know that Foley meditated any such villainy as above mentioned, but in view of the many outrages narrated it la not surprising that occasionally one o/:tb«i9 tramps comes to grief.

A CORRESPONDENT of the New York Tribune, writing from Reading, Pa., gives an account of a secret organisation known as the Knights of Labor, and lid to number already eight hundred thousand members in tbe United States. None but laboring men, in the strict sense of the word, are permitted to join tbe league, and merchants and professional men of every kind are excluded. The proceedings are all kept a close secret and the members are required to take a very strong oath. The avowed purpose of the organisation is to become strong enough to control the politics of the country as it slresdy does Luzerne county and other large tracts of territory in Pennsylvania, so the writer states, snd tbe cities of Elmirs and Corning in New York. It is stated there are 95,000 voters of tbe order in Pennsylvania and 45,000 in tbe state of New York.

THE sweetest little fish story of tbe season is told by Frank Abbott, of Burlington, Iowa. At Clear Lake dwells a little girl who takes a ride every day In small skiff drawn by two pickerel. They are regularly harnessed, and by means of a pair of lines she is enabled to guide tbem in any direction. The fish are three feet in length, weigh between seven and eight pounds each, and are very powerful. When tbe girl has tired of riding, she drives the pickerel to boat bouse, where they are unharness ed, taken into a eommodioua glsss squarium made expressly for them, and fed. When she goes to the tank to harness tbem for a ride, the pickerel jump almost into ber arms, so glad, apparently, am they to see her. This young solas has been offered 9MW0 for ber team.

A MIDGET,

A Wonderful Little Child Born ta Phil-

Philadelphia limes.

After ascending by a winding, uncar-

Bo.

ited pine stairway to the third story of 860 North Fourth street, a visitor was ushered into the room where dwell Mrs. Pinodua and her wohderful little baby. The room contains a small cook stove and serves as kitchen, bed room and parlor for the family, which consists of Mr. Pincius, his wife, a healthy, robust boy of eighteen months and the little mite of humanity whoee fame, although only fourteen aaya have passed since its tiny wail firat quivered on the air of thia world, has spread even beyond the limits of the great city in which it was born. The room was decently furnished, but the family are evidently very poor. Several persons besides tbe mother and child were present. They all seemed in excellent spirits. Mrs. Pincius, a pleasant faced, healthy looking German American, apparently twenty years old, stepped smiling to the bed and removing a small hem stitched handkerchief which served as a counterpane, proudly displayed the small specimen. 'It weighs just sixteen ounoes and perfect,' she said, carefully brushing away a fly which seemed disposed to settle on the little nose. 'Sixteen ounoes! It cannot be much,' said the visitor, doubtingly, Then, after a pause, a thought struck him, and he said: 'Ah, yes sixteen ounces, that's only a pound. I see," Tbe infant was asleep. Occasionally smiled the smallest kind of a smile. 'Just look at its hand,' said the mother 'and at ita nails, and look at its feet, auc you ought to see its eyes. Such greet, beautiful blue eyee. And see these she said, bustling-to a table and holding up some doll's things—a pair of socks of crochet work, about an inch lone, and a little lace cap, trimmed with blue ribbons, too small to fit a good sized ridge pippin. The visitor raised the tiny red nand on the tip of his little finger care, fully, so as not to break it or disturb the midget's dreams. Jts palm is no bigger than a dry goods clerk's thumb nail, and the Angers scarcely larger than the graphite in a reporter's pencil. To show tbe size the arm the mother took off her wed ding ring ands'ipped It over the child's hand and up to Ita elbow. 'Does this—this—this baby eat, and how?' said tbe visitor, blushing.

Eat! ha! ba! ha!' laughed Mrs. Pin cus, slapping her knees in glee,_as she est on the side of the bed. 'I guess she does eat. She hangs on me like a leech and never lets go as long as there Is drop left.' 'I am de

gran'fader,'

Se

said a slim, mer

curial German, who had sat, his black eyes sparkling with pleasure, while his daughter was exhibiting her prize. He could not restrain himself any longer, and he skipped about tbe room, gesticulating ana expatiating delightedly in broken English upon the wonderful small points of little Estelle. 'What is your name?' said the visitor,

The old German's manner changed suddenly. He became very grave and cautious. I don't vant my name in de paper,' be said, seriously. 'Not dat I am ashamed of de baby, for I am broud of it, but I haf udder reasons, I haf udder reasons, my friend.' 'And are you proud of it, too?'said tbe visitor, turning to the father, a decent looking young man, who up to this time had said nothing. 'Y-e-s,' be replied, with a sort of shoepish smile. Then, suddenly raising his head, with a different expression on bis fikoe, he said in a manly voice. Yee, I am proud of it, and I love it.' 'Dere has been more dan twenty-eight doctors here to see it,' broke in the

rand father 'and dey all say datltish greatest'vonder of de vorla, and dat it isb de smallest shlld dat vasever porn and lived, and more dan a dousand peo-

San

les haf been here to look at it. More tree hundred men, vimmln and schildren have been down dere in de street at von time, vaitlng to get ecbance.'. 'We haven't let any strangers in since Saturday,' said the mother. 'They filled the room so that it was too hot and close for tbe baby. They keep oomlng now all the time, bnt we don't let them come up stairs.'

The maternal grandmother, a middle aged, substantial-looking, well-dressed woman, was also present and seemed delighted with the little one. 'The only way,' she said, 'that we can aocount for its being so small is that it Is a gift of

Mr. Pincus is a baker by trade, but has been out of employment for a long time. Mrs. Pincus says that she enjoyed excellent health all the time before ner baby was born. It la aald that many of little Estelle's visitors have left substantial tokens.

HOW THEY LIVE

Among tbe various ways of making a living, a few of the queerest employ ments have teen compiled by some one who took tbe trouble to walk the streets of New York and take down tbe announcements on placards and signboards that particularly caught bis eye. Some of tbese are as follows: 'Sick dogs are medically attended by tbe week or month.' 'Birds to board.' 'Dogs' ears snd are cut in tbe latest fashion.' 'Cigar stumps bought at tbe bigheet market price.' 'Cross dogs taught to be gentle and well-behaved? 'Ladies'and gentlemen's feet and hands are professionally snd artistically treated by the lob or season.' 'Young ladies, oome in and learn the name and calling o* your husbands.' 'Round-shouldered persons made straight.' 'Perfect grace Is taught in twelve feesons, and satisfaction guar anteed.' 'Sore eyes In poodles effectual ly cured.' 'Ladles deficient In wardrobe fashionably dressed vry cheap bv the month or year.' 'Jtebtes or children hired or exchanged.' 'First -class funer sis thoroughly equipped.' 'Country theaters supplied with every necessary.' 'False noses as good as new, and warranted to fit.' 'Marriage certificates sre famished at once.' 'Black eyes painted over nestly.' 'Dress-costs furnished at reasonable rates,' and 'Trustworthy In formation given as to lucky lottery tickets.'
