Other People.

The icemen are beginning to get their summer crop of lies ready. Owing to the paper boom, delinquent subscribers are being cut ofiF.—Ex.

Bob Ingersoll first lectured on "hell," then on "Burns," now on "Paine." A Benevolent Californian named Roh inson, bequeathed $40,000 to the destiwomen and children of San Francisco. IgJohn Randolph used to say that he would not give much for a man could not spell a word more than one way

A man at Marian, this State, chose seat in the crotch of a tree, sixty feet from the ground, as the place to com mit suicide by shooting.

Frank. E. Brownell is to have returned to him the musket with which he shot Jackson, who had just shot Col. Ellsworth, near Alexandria, Ya., in 1861.

Some watches iu a jeweler's window at Westfield, Mass, are marked: warranted worthless" This is retaliation *pon a dry goodsmerchant who is selling cheap watches.

Mrs. Conkling is said to be really heart broken because her husband will not be reconciled to their only daughter, who had the audacity to marry an excellent but poor man because she loved him.

It was a polite Frenchman in New York who committed suicide Wednesday,- first putting his table to rights and leaving on it a note running, "Mrs, Cooper, I am sorry to give you this trouble."

Anson D. Stephenson, a clerk, in Boston, has good cause to feel thankful that he was born with or cultivated an accommidating disposition. A young lady whom he frequently befriended has just died, leving him $50,000.

William McCabe, of Cynthiana, Ky., gave his age and feeble mother a Bound whipping because she bad unjustly punished him as a boy thirty years before. He said that as she was getting so old he might lose the opportunity to get even with her if he deferred the settlement.

Ind. Herald: Wendling will crucify Ingersoll at Terre Haute to-morrow night. He will do it on the secular cross. Ingersoll is making about |40,000 every year on his lecturers, and Wendling is accumulating at the rate of fl5,000. These belligerents ought to meet in open debate and end this expensive war.

William Franklin of Salem, Oregon, astounded his bride by telling her that he did not believe a husband ought to have any secrets from his wife, and therefore he would confess to her that he bad murdered several men. He assured her that he would kill her and himself if she revealed the matter. The love that she had borne thereupon changed to loathing, and she soon told the story. Next morning the couple were found dead, Franklin having carried out his threat.

On New Year's day a number of men in Hudson, New York created a fund by contributing $100 each, to be equally divided among them at the end of the year, with the provision that whoever should be proved to havo used profane language in the course of the year should forfeit his right to withdraw any part of the money. The whole fund, it is said, has already been forfeited, and as a result a mutual understanding has been arrived at by which each contributor draws out bte original $100. "Woodworker," an Indian chief, says he has never &en a gray-haired Indian in his life, and he has seen some over ninety years old. Itis becauseran Indian has no tumble, no worriment or anything that way. His wife chops all the wood, builds the fires, goes to market at daylight, stones tramps out of the front yard and blacks his boots. And he is not tormented by tax collectors, gas bills and lighting rod pedlers. Let an Indian

start a twenty-four column daily paper in a six column town to fill along felt want, and his hair would true gray in one night. -'-J

Mr. McKeehen was compelled, by the proximity of a loaded pistol to his head, to marry Miss Moore, at Leavenworth, Kansas. He then went into court, oon tested the legality of the marriage, and had it declared null and void. He then voluntarily had the ceremony repeated, It was the principle involved that he was contending for.

In his sernaon on the Tay bridge accident, the Rev. Dr. Berg of Edinburg, based his remarks on a quotation from Isaiah ix. 16. The bricks have'fallen down and we will build with new stone." The manufacturer of the bricks used in the building of the bridge is furious at this using of scripture to the detriment of brick makers, and vents his fury in a letter to the Scotsman. ,,

The employes of Keyes & Sykes will give a ball at Dowling hall on Friday 27th. Everybody should turn out and give the boys a lift, as a great many ol them lost all their toolB in the late fire, besides being thrown out of employment.
