ODD FOLKS.

Odd people here and there are described in newspapers. Roxbury, Man., has an eccentric tramp who Uvea in a cave during the winter, and spends the summer In making begging excursions to neighboring towns. He never says a word, and bis dress consists entirely of old b.xttlegs, fastened together with leather strings. A small wagon, drawn by two goats, and containing a helpless, shriveled man, attracted attention in Hagerstowu, Md. He said that be bad traveled in that manner for many years and called himself "The American Tonr 1st He is entirely helpless. His wife sod four children accompany him, and attend to bis wants, getting their living by the sale of a temperance song and other small articles. Jeffersen Stevens, who lives near Sulphar Springs, Ky., concludes that be is gifted with peculiar powers, of which be lately gave a street exhibition. He held a forksd dogwood switch, like those used by wizards, in his mouth, and told the crowd to ask any questions they pleased. A pair of rtramps turned up at Des Moines, Iowa— Peter Carlisle and wife—who were on their way to Leadville from the Pennsylvania coal regions. They had pushed a handcart all the way, containing their haby girl and a few household utensils. Carson Carr, of Moodie, Cal., will on no account walk a step, bat always runs, no matter if the distance is only a few feet while Mrs. Main, of Chicago, will neither walk nor run, although physi.cally able to do either, because she tbiDks her legs will drop off if she stirs them. The story comes from Pittsfleld, Mass., of the discovery of a cannibal, who for years has lived near that city. HT says that early In life he ran away from home and went to sea. He was early in life shipwrecked on one of the South Sea Islands, where cannibalism was practiced and idolatrj? was the worship of the native?. How long he remained there he does not know, but he learned to enter into their savage rites with a good deal of zest, and he confesses Xo have acquired a taste tor cannibalism

MARiTA INFELICITY. In an editorial ou "unhappy marriages," inspired by the press cackle over the Coukling-Sprague scandal, the Chicago Journal, a grave and eminently respectable paper, thirty-six years old, says:

Now, what can be done or said to les8*n this amouut of married misery? Very litUe, if anything. Advice seems useless, but nevertheless we feel cons.raiued to give some. Married people, il thev would live together happily, must, first of all, have true love lor each other as such, without too much regard lor externals. We mean, real, oldfashioned, solid, geuuine personal affection—the "yours-till-death" article. Nothing—we repeat it—nothing under heaven can take the place of this. Marriage without thlB love Is a downright sxnal crime. "Better is a dinner oi herbs than a stalled ox with hatred therewith." A second consideration of great moment is that married people must not attempt to restrict by any abow of force or authority the formation of proper friendships and the promotion of social fellowship outside of the home ctrcle. Love is a silken cord at best, and force or compulsion of any ktud severs it instantly. The idea that married pnopie are not to enjoy any so 0 ty apart from each other is simply lustrous. Home must not be tamed into a cell to Immure the affections. Un1«»»the husband and wife cau win each her's cinstancy they mast be content to bear its loss. Certain it is that it cannot he manufactured or driven. This is the key note to a thousand domestio discords. Love and force are antagonistic in nature and association as fire and gunpowder. Remember, again, that jealousy ts the groat social devil. Kill blm every time he show* his head, even if you make your own heart bleed with the spear thrusts. Make royal cages in heart and houie for the two bears—bear and forbear. Resolve to get along peaceably, and make the best or everything as it cornea to band. Never dispute with each other about trifles.

Never try to pay off any old grudges. If you never loved the one you married, and never can, resolve to live and Buffer, or quietly separate.

Commenting on the above the Indianapolis Herald says: Whether marital disconteut is on the increase, or whether the prying disposition of the press has recently exposed more of it to the public view, is an open question, bat there Is no doubt of the the feet that an appalling proportion of married men and women live unhappily, while to many matrimony is a perfect hell. A gentleman of oar acquaintance, who has for many years borne the galling yoke of an ill-assorted marriage, recently broke down in his determination to carry his burden uncomplainingly to the end, and, perhaps unwisely, went to a score of hi* friends, whom he supposed to be living happily, for advice. Confidence invited confidence, and be was shocked to find the same skeleton in •very household. It is true, as the Journal says, that "there is no sorrow on earthlbat can be compared for a momeot with that allent and oonsumlng misery which Is caused by the torturing

is that they love too intemperately at the start, and exhaust each other with the violence of their transports. It la the old story of electrical, affinities two bodies, one positively and the other negatively charged, by oontaot beoome both positive, and instead of attractlng, repel each other. Mueb of the sublime hate with which some married people regard each other is baflt on the ruins of a love which bordered on lanaoy. There are. ofcour ill-starred marriages In which one other of the contracting parties is devilishly mean and cruel, so essehti A talse, that anything like peace or ppitess Is out or the question very frequently two estimable people made miserable by a lack of the ts necessary to keep the fetters from afing. At the start they are will: to "eat each other up." They bill, rd coo, and make themselves rld!e ous in public. There is complete su render ana subjection on the part of tin woman, followed by satiety and disust on the part of the man. Too many sweets cloy the appetite. The woman who is wise—and mere are very few who are wise—never makes a complete surrender of herself, and oompels the husband to sue for her favors as a matter of grace instead of taking them as a matter of right. The stronger and more animal nature of man needs to be kept in subjection by a proper doling out of kisses and caressee, for it is only as a suitor that he is loving, tender, chivalrous and unselfish. As a master he is not to be trusted."

NEVER TOO LATE TOO LEARN. We understand that some commotion has been created in base ball circles by a recent report to the effect that Peter Cooper was practicing, and would enter the arena next season as pitcher for one of the league clubs. There is nothing strange or remarkable about this. 'Tin never too late to mend." There are many similar cases in history, a few of whioh, for the purpose of enoouraging old people, are given below:

Socrates, at extreme old age, learned to play on musical instruments, but the people in his neighborhood could not stand the racket, and he was arrested for ditturbing the peace. He was tried before a dikastery, composed of 557 citi-zen-judges, or jurors, found guilty, and sentenced to drink himself to death. He called lor hemlook, which did the business a little quicker but no more effectually than the whisky used for a similar purpose in these times.

Cato, at eighty years of age, learned the Greek language, and at eighty-five could ask: ••Cangry yougry talkgry Greehgryt" as well as any boot black in the land.

Plutarch, when between seventy and eighty, began the study of Latin. When in his eighty-second year be wrote to a young girl about his own age, "ego amo tuiand her big brother came around and put a bead on him for doing so.

Dr. Johnson applied himself to the Dutch language but a few years before his death. After studying it for some time he jumped up, threw down the book, and remaikea in emphatic tones, d—n the Dutch."

Ludovico Monaldesco, at the great age of one hundred and fifteen, wrote the memoirs of his own times. In conversation with us one day, be confidently stated that he should have written the memoirs earlier in life had it not required the first-hundred years to learn how to spell bis own name properly.

Ogllby, the translator of Homer and Virgil, waB unacquainted with Latin and Greek, till he was past fifty.

Franklin did not fully commence his philosophical pursuits till he had reached his fiftieth year.

Dryden, in his sixty-eighth year, commenced the translation of the Iliad, his most pleasing production, and took his first bath in the same year.

We could go on and cite thousands of examples of men who commenced anew study either for a livelihood or amusement, at an advanced age. But every one familiar with the biography of distinguished men, will recollect individual cases enough to convince them that if Peter Cooper wants to become abase ball playef he has a perfect right to do so, though whether it would be advisable, under the circumstances, we will not attempt to say. Sammy Tilden is not too old to become a horse jockey, though bis experience thus far in running has not been enoouraging. It is never too late to learn.

HOTEL LIFE FOR WOMEN/ Buffalo Courier. Speaking of the Conkllng affair, a gentleman who has boarded for years at one of the leading Broadway hotels, said last night that the general public bad no idea what kind of a life is led by fashionable women who board at hotels, and have nothing to do but kill time. "Any hotel barkeeper oan tell you," be said, "that the orders for wine from rooms occupied by these women are enormous. They are generally sent in the daytime, when husbands are attending to business down town, and the wine is always paid for at once. Who pays for it? Well, the visitors, generally. These IdleJwomen have a great many visitors, mostly men about town, club men, and others, with money to spend and nothing to do. They call when the bnsbsnds are away, and make theuuMive^ quite »t home. The women usually receive them in the parlors, and it is afterwards an easy matter to invite them to their rooms. Orders for wine and other refreshments are then sent down, and there is a high-toned carouse for aoouple of hours. Of course the visitors are careful to be out of the way when the husbands come home to dinner, and the women are equally careful to see that no trace of the pleasant dissipation remains. though If they have been too free with the wine they don't always sucoeed In hiding that."

ONE OF THE GREAT PLEASURES OF TRA VELINQ. Home Journal.

Part of the relaxation and pleasure of travel comes to most minds in the not having to calculate too accurately the exact expenses cf every day. The store that is to be spent in holiday making is known, and the liberal spending of It is a great pleasure to those who have had to exercise some self denial in the bringing of it together. No doubt there are some persons who never, not even on a holiday, lose sight of the joys of bargaining, and who will hesitate as to the spending of a shilling or a franc, till, to some of the members of the party, the whole pleasure is done away with. But, as a rule, it ts net so, and the comparatively easy spending of money in holiday time seems to ns to be one of its leasantest and most resting character

KATE BENDER.

TB E NOTORIOUS KANSAS MURDERESS IN JAIL IN NEW MEXICO FOB THE MURDER OF BER HUSBAND.

St Louis Special to Cincinnati Enquirer. (Sheriff Whitehall, of Grant oounti, New Mexico, is in St. Louis, en route for Indianapolis, whither he is taking a bright nine-year old b6y, named Joaie Granger. The lad is the nephew of Bishop Granger, of Indiananolis [The city directory contains no such name.—Ed. Jour.], and the sheriff is confident that the boy's father, who was the bishop's brother, was murdered at the instigation of none other than Kate Bender, who six years ago was the most odious woman in the United States. It will require no effort on the part of the reader to call to mind the Bender family, who for several years kept a human slaughter-house in the shspe of a little hoetelrie on a lonely Kansas road, about sixty miles from Fort 8cott. The tracing of a prominent citizen named York-to their house, and the discovery of his murder, led to revelations of the most horrifying character, and the grizzly old murderer with his inhuman family fled in great haste from the wrath which muBt follow the discovery of the graveyard which they had made all around their house. Whether they were overtaken and all lynched, or whether they really escaped and scattered, has always been an open question. The most fiendish member of the family was Kate, then a stout young woman, whose thews had grown great in wielding the hammer that crushed travelers' skulls. The story which the sheriff of Grant county tells has reference to Kate. He Bays that William F. Granger, the father of the boy now in his charge, married a wife in California, and when she died moved with his son William, a weak-minded, cruel sort ol a boy, to Fort Smith, Arkansas. A second marriage took place there, and Josie was the issue. He took into his family as nuise and servant a yonng woman who had been a domestic in a hotel, and who went by the name of Dora Hesser. The family moved to Grant county, New Mexico, and Dora went along. The second wife died, and on the 15th of last September Granger married Dora. Just the three weeks after that he was enticed into mountains by his own son, William, and a man named Parson Young, and the boy fired a bullet from a needle gun through the old man's brain. They dug a hole, jammed the body into a heap, and threw it in, then covered it up and stamped the (pound level. Going back home they divided the old man's possessions, amounting to about $5,000} Young taking one-third, William one-third, and the bride of three weeks one-third. The authorities suspected something wrong, and a sheriff went to the Granger house to arrest the trio. He found them all in led together, and hidden under the bed were the ola man's gray clothes, which Dora had chopped into pieces. William was closely questioned and finally acknowledged that his mother and Parson Young had fixed up th job on the old man and induced him to do the killing, the object being one of plunder. He led the officers to the scene of the murder, and the body was exhumed. Since then the belief has been growing that Dora is Kate Bender. 8he acknowledges that her name is Kate, and she knows a deal about the Benders. A young man who went to school with Kate Bender when she was about sixteen years old visited Dora in jail, and positively identified her as Kate. In her trunk was found about $500 worth of silverware, most of it marked "Gait House, Kentucy." The sheriff has her picture, and it represents a woman about thirty years old, with full, heavy face, large lowerjaw, very small eyes, and a mouth of a virago. The woman is still in jail, and will soon be tried. Meanwhile, the sheriff intends to give the little boy Josie, who is a very amiable, intelligent child, and who gives a graphic account of the murder, in charge of Bishop Granger. a

AN ACTOR'S PR A YER.

SU

A CURIOUS REMINISCENCE OF THE AMERICAN STAGE.

A correspondent of The Baptist Weekly writes: A recent number of The Baptist Weekly speaks of a French actor praying for success in anew piece. I am reminded of another case resembling this, which has never been in print, and was told in confidence by the actor himself a few weeks before he died. "Billy" Otis was, to use Laura Keene's own expression, the best "Lord Dundreary" she ever had, and he repaid her good opinion by a profound regard, which seemea after her death to para into reverence for her memory. It was he who, when hardly more than a mere boy, carried the invitation to President Lincoln to attend the theater on the fatal night oi the assassination.

Before his death, which occurred not far from four years ago, he left the stage and gave recitations, repeating whole play8 and carrying all the parts along, as well as giving shorter impersonations, re-

S'eene

roducing even the manner of Laura and other actresses, without unnatural affectation and with wonderful power. I once heard him render "Our American Cousin," and when he arrived at this point he paused and told the story of the sssassinstion as it was behind the scenes. When the shot was fired he was in the act of buttoning Miss Keene's glove as she was preparing to go on the stage in bridal costume. At first mistaking the shot, she %nt a request thst the carpenters should not fire pistols during the acts, and then, when the truth became known, rushed to the washrtand, saturated the whole front breadth of her magnificent bridal dress with water, which she wrung out in a vain attempt to resuscitate the unconscious victim. On the stage Miss Keene's influence was on the side of good morals, if not religion, and profanity was rigidly excluded even where, in the "School for Scandal," the whole point seems to lie in the word "damnably" as uttered by the deoeived and undeceived husband. It was remorselessly stricken out. "They will think badly enough of us let us give than no occasion.^ It was a secret known only to her that Otis was in the habit of oneriiqt a short prayer just before going on the stage, snch as, "O Lord help me through this act" Sometimes he would find himself upon the stage and his prayer forgotten, when he would step behind the scenes a moment and return, upon which she. understanding where be had been, would say (aside,) "God bless you, myboyP Not long after be confided this secret ol his life to me a fatal ncknesB seised him, and he soon went where he knew whether his prayer had been a real uttertaoe of {Christian faith or not.

BUSKIN'S IDEAL WOMAN. Home Journal. Raskin's notions about woman's dress were given in a recent number of The Home Journal. His views of the position women ought to occupy in society and in his Utopia will be read with not less interest. It will be remembered that he treated the aubjdbt of dress in no light spirit, bat considered it as an essential element in a scheme of life where refinement snd simplicity are to be allied in the highest attainable degree. Our raiment should be charming, made of the best material and with the soundest work, ornamented only with lovely and skillful bits of workmanship. Wemen ought to be pleasant creatures a room ought to be brighter for their presence in It. Their highest power and charm should be in a cultivated habit of sympathy. Ruskin is utterly opposed to the temper that would dress sisters of charity in gray snd dull colors. He is somewhat conservative and Asiatic regarding woman's role and influence "The end of all right education for a woman is to make herlove her home better than any other place that she should seldom leave it as a queen her queendom nor ever feel entirely at rest but within its threshold." To attain this right end of education the process is neither a cheerless nor a severe one. Ruskin, it is true, exaets from children of both sexes a habit of unressoning obedience and an essential understanding of the nature of honor. But to obey ana be truthful, he believes are instinct* of nature that, to be developed, need only proper nourishment and training. In the Utopia of Saint George's company theeducation of the little ones will have no lack of brightness singinf and dancing are held thereto be more important factors in training than learning how to read, write and keep accounts. The latter, indeed, in some cases (that of the poorer classes) may. be entirely dispensed with bat the former can in no case be ever spared. Dancing, decorously and rightly taught, is perhaps considered the most important of secular arts. Ruskin has no patience with languid paradises of sofas and. rockingchairs. A girl's bodily education ought to make sure that she can "stand and sit upright, the ankle vertical and firm as a marble shaft, the waist elastic as a weed and as unfatigable."

Next in importance to the training of bodily exercise and music come the uses of gardening. It is natural that stress should be laid upon gardening in the educational scheme of a company started for the work of the redemption of desert land and which holds "that the substantial wealth of a man consists in the earth he cultivates, with its pleasant or serviceable animals and plants, and in the right-ly-produced work of his own hands." Ruskin would give to every little maid, fes soon as may be, a yard or two square of ground, with tools suited to her strength for the culture thereof, and seeds for the sowing. Later on, a beehive might be placed in a suitable corner, and "the crowning achievement of her secular vir tues would be to produce in its season a piece of snowy and well-filled comb." For townfolk this crowning achievement of their daughter's virtue is a delightful picture that must, however, partake of the fate of pictures seen in dreamland. There is, nevertheless, much that is practical and beneficial in Buskin's hints on. the use of gardening, He would turn the garden to healthy, economical as well as educational purposes. He makes war against green-houses, and especially hot-houses. The object of gardening is to keep girls out laboring in the fresh air. He will have none of the "clipping, potting, petting and standing dileitanteiam in a damp and over-scented room." He would have vegetables grown in gardens needing the observance of seasons, coming to perfection in their own proper time, and with the rare annual taste of the thing grown in its due days. In gardening would come knowledge Of plants of best use in our country, ana the power would be given to teach others to "take pleasure in the green herb that grows for meat, and the colored flowers grown for ioy." On the subject of gardening and the refining and delight-giv-ing influence of flowers, the Master of St. Geoige writes many suggestive and beautiful pages. In the airangement of her life he would that every girl should give every day some spare moments to gardening, or, if she had no garden, to the care of flowers in pots, ana their pr 'tty arrangement in her windows. Indoor work next claims attention. Every girl should do daily a bit of housemaid's work, doing it so thoroughly as to be a pattern of perfection in tnal kind—a stair or two or a corner of a room kept polished lik a Dutch picture. Knowledge of cookery he holds to be an absolute necessity. A. woman should know "how to cook plain meats and dishes economically and savorily." Nor is her household only to profit by her profiiciency. She should acquaint herself with the poor, not as a patroness, but as a friend. She can then profitably and gracefully give those hints Dy wbicn the numble fare may be made more 5

BE SOMETHING.

It is the duty of every one to take some active part as an actor on the stage of life. Some seem to think that they can vegetate, as it were, without being anything in particular. Man was not made to rust out his life. It is expected he should "set well his part." He must be something. He has a work to perform which it is his duty to attend to. We are not placed here to grow up, pass through the various stages of life, and then die without having done anything for the benefit of the human race. Is a man to be brought up in idleness? Is he to live upon ue wealth which his ancestors have acqnired by frugal industry ts he placed here to pass through life an automaton Has he nothing to perform as citizen of the world A man who does nothing is useless to his country as sn inhabitant A man who does nothing is a mere cipher. He does not fulfill the obligations for which he was sent into the world, and, when he dies, he has not finished the work that was given for him to do. He is a men blank in creation. Some are born with riches and honors upon their heads but does it follow that they have to do in their career through life? There are certain duties for every one to perform. Be something.

THE CITY COUNCIL TBIP.

HOW THE HOOSIERS DID CHICAGO.

Chicago Times of Saturday Last Terre Hante, the "Prairie City" of Indiana, is located on the western sideof that state, near the Illinois line, on the Wabssh river. It is a pretty little city, nestled in a grove of maples of luxurious growth, mm! has a population of about twenty-five thousand people. It "boast*" of being the home of Hon. Daniel W. VoorhMS, one of the United Ststes Senators from Hooaierdom Secretary Thompson and other great lights, and taken all in all it is a decidedly go-ahead sort of a place. It is, however, assuming certain airs, which, if not laid aside at a very early day, will, in all probability, bring npon it the fate of the frog in the fable. It will swell up with its own self-import-ance and "burst." Last spring the people of the Prsirie City elected a Democratic Mayor in the person of Hon. B. F. Havens. Ben. in his wsy is a clever fellow, but his vanity is spt to lead him to forget the interests of the city over which it is his daty to exercise a guardian eye. He proposes, in his mind, to make the best Mayor Terre Haute ever had, not excepting Ex-Mayors Hickox, Edwards. Cookerly, Fairbanks and a number ol other good ahd excellent men who had the interests of the little city at heart when Ben. was a boy in Rush County.

A few weeks ago Mayor Havens, with the common council of Terre Haute conceived the idea of a visit to Chicago and St. Louis, ostensibly for the purpose of looking into the sewer system of the two cities, but in reality to nave a good time away from under the eyes of their constituents. How much the pleasure trip will cost die taxpayers of Terre Haute is not known at present, and in all probabilty never will be. Suffice it to say, that about one week ago Mayor Harrison received a note from Mayor Havens informing him that a delegation of aldermen under his generalship would visit Chicago on the following Thursday for the purpose above mentioned, and that they would pay their own expenses while in the metropolis of the west. This proposition to "pay their own expenses" caugnt Chicago's economical mayor, and he foithwitn submitted the good tidings to the common council at their meeting last Monday night. That body decided to "accept the invitation," and thereupon appointed a committee of three to meet the visiting aldermen and their mayor at the depot at the expence of the Prairie city.

In the meantime the "Tall Sycamore of the Wabash," Senator Voorhees, arrived in Chicago one day ahead of the Terre Haute officials, and, discovering that Chicago did not tumble to the gentle hint thrown out in the way of a "feeler," in Mayor Haven's communication in regard to expenses, he passed on through the city to Monmouth, leaving the junketing party to do Chicago without his Senatorial pretence.

The Committee appointed by the Com mon Council of Chicago met the following prominent8 from Terre Haute: Mayor B. F. Havens, Aids. McCutcbeon, Polk Harris, Harrison, Frisz, Apman, White, Clutter. Beauchamp and Regan. With the party were City Attorney Allen, City Engineer Simpson,Asst. City Attorney Anderson, and Messrs. Harper, Lamb, Whiteman, Stuemphel, Cooper, Kelly, Scudder, Smith, Robertson, Allen, Durkan and last but not least Uncle Isaac Beauchamp, who began voting for Gen. Jackson in 1828, andis still keeping at the good work. On yesterday morning the party, with Mayor Harrison, Alde.^ Cullerton and McAuley, and Supt. Williams of the sewerage department, for pilots, started at 11 o'clock from the Pacific hotel in carriages paid for by the visiting aldermen to take in the sights of Chicago. They first visited the Halstead street and Milwaukee avenue viaducts, and after inspecting these, they drove out Dearborn avenue to the water-works. This caught the Hoosiera at once. Back to Terre Haute they would go and build similar works, was the unanimous conclusions of the entire crowd. Ed Cullerton nudged Mayor Harrison in the ribs and suggested that the next stopping place be Fish Miller's. From the water-works the party drove out the lake shore drive to Lincoln park, and from thence back to the city and over the main streets. At 3 o'clock p. m. they returned to the Grand Pacific hotel for dinner. At dinner was where Sam. Turner got in his work. 8am formerly kept tavern in Terre Haute, and he understood exactly the wants of his guests. He had provided a huge watermelon, with a bottle of ginger ale, for each man, and it is safe to say that Sam on yesterday increased his popularity with his old-time friends. Mayor Harrison joined in the dinner snd got away with his share of the melon. After the repast a vote of thanks was extended "Our Carter," the committee of aldermen, Superintendent Williams and Mine Host Turner, of the Grand Pacific, for the princely manner in which they had entertained the visiting aldermen at the expense of the taxpayers of Terre Haute.

The party were highly pleased with the improvements of Chicago, and left on the 7 o'clock train on last evening for St. Louis to inspect the "big bridge'' at that city, with the view of building one over the Wabash when tkey return. At a late hour in the day Senator Dan Voorhees put in sn appearance, and left with his friends over tne Alton road.
