MEN WHO ARE NEVER HAPPY, NOR ,, ALLOW OTHKRS TO BE.

Unslcy's Mngaslne.

The "grumbling husband," an individual who, of all his fraternity, has

[euara!lj the least cause for complaint, one ol those advanced pessimists who render existence as obnoxious as it is possible to make it to those who have tbp misfortune to share bl« earthly pilgrimage. It may be an affliction at tbe bast of times, but the grumbler makes it ten times worse. He will begin tbe day by abuslug bis breakfast and a man who scowls over his coffee, eggs, and the daily pap»r, may be pronounced as not likely to improve in temper as the hours advance. The in line nee of a grumbling woman is particularly depressing but that of a man a chronic

Is worse. We may expect to

nd some capricious brightness or ephemeral exaltation at times surmount her narrow minded morbid complaints, for women's moods constantly vary but all this Is diflerent* with a man. There is more of tbe "granite" in his composition. His Intuitions are duller, ana his sympathies loss active. Ho will take a positive pleasure in nursing his gloom. It may proceed from physical or mental causss, or perhaps Irom in cesaant disappointments, or poor digestion but the krumbling husband is in American parlance "a caution"—-the tuldH hop«leS'», selfish specimen of manhood We nan meet, disqualified jor society, unfit for home a dead weight on every one's aplrit.

He complained to his wife that bis nose pained him terribly, and be believed be was taking the eryslpe las. He began doctoring himself wub bread and milk poultices, but without success. His face began to swell rapidly and in less than three days it and his bead became twice their natural size, and lost all t»eujblance of human shape.

A physician was called in against the wishes of Truesdale. He found the man suffering terribly. His lips were drawn by tbe tension of the skin, and writhed themselves away from the teeth In unceasing pain. Tbs cuticle across the bridge of the nose and over the forehead was so distended with the mattery substance underneath that it seemed as if it must burst every moment. The eyes were swollen almost to bursting from their sockets, and were turned with pain until hardly anything but the whites could be seen. It was painfully evident that

I A TKRRIBLB POISON

Was slowly but surely permeating the man's whole system. The physician, after a careful examination of the unwilling patient, cut open kis skin from about tbe centre of tbe nose to the roots of tbe hair, and then made another cut across tbe^orehead almost from temple to temple. From these inoislops there oozed a fiass of loathsome, detestable putrescence^ so terrible in its stench that tbe attendants, save one^ ran from tbe bouse. Other incisions were made in different parts of the scalp, from which tbe hair had been shaved, and from these this terribly offensive matter oozad constantly, uatU the swelling was reduced, qad the head and face assumed nearly their nominal size. Attempts were tlhdn-inade to free the Incisions of matter by injecting water Into therri. It no

was iticed that when water was forced into the cat in the forehead it poured out of the holes in the scalp. As one of the attendants said, "it seemed aa if all the flesh between tbe skin and bobb bad turned to corruption and ran out." When Truesdale was told that he could not possibly recover, he called hia jvif© into the room and C0NFJSS8EDT0 HBR THAT HE ROBBED THE

He said he dug down to the bead of the coffin, broko it open, and taking his knife out around tbe neck of the corpse through the flesh to tbe bone. He then placed one of his feet on tbe breast of tbe corpse, and taking the bead in h's hands pulled and twisted it until it oame off by mere force. He afterward disjointed the lower jaw, and threw it where Fred Auer found It. He closed his confession by telling where tbe skull would be found under tbe straw in a certain manger in the stable. It was found theroand given up to tbe Platts family. The last three days of Trnesdale's existence were terrible, not only to himself but to those who watohed blm. The poison from some corpse (for it is believed he had recently opened several graves), which was communicated to his system by pricking a raw spot on the inside of the nose, appeared to course through every vein in his body. Not only was his person offensive to the eye, but the odor and beat of his broath was so offensive that it was impossible fortho attendants to wait on him properly. The breath was so poisonous that when one of the atsendants held his hand six inches from the dying man's mouth it stung the flesh like hundreds of nettles. Those who waited upon him were obliged to wear gloves, as it was impossible to wash the odor from their hands. Tbe day he died

A TTPIOAL SOUTHERN BULLDOZER OF SLAVERY DATSi

Minneapolis Kirby wi

Mr. Ironbeck was an honest, straight forward, kind hearted German, wbo made friends of all he dealt with. One day as he was discussing the new country project with Kirby, and stating that the thing began to look doubtful, Kirby remarked to him, "Ironbeck. you have a great deal of influence in this county, and have it soley through tbe love that people leel toward you. You win by dealing kindly and justly, and doing as you would be done oy." But I have ten tiuios more influence than yon. I can accomplish results where you fail everytuno, and I rule people and make them do my bidding because they fear me. I havH not a single friend in this county, outside my own family, wbo would care a n, If I were to be killed to-morrow but, for all this they are afraid of Kirby, and dare not dery him If you, and the lawyers, will hand this county seat matter over to me, I will see it put through successfully." "All right, Kirby, go ahead," was the answer.

Kirby had a number of band bills struck off, Indicating that on a certain date he would address tbe voters of the conDty. He appointed '^mSetlngs in every four corners, hamlet and village. He

The answer was, "That is a matter between piymi and client. Why do yoa ask

"Because Kirby told me to say that he will pay y$u double tbe fee to drop him. "Say to Mr. iKlrby that he is not rich enough to brink me to betray a client."

Tim was sufficient for Kirby. He bad been defitd, and the man who defied bien "must go." Mr. Gray finally discovered that be must either leave Hemstead, or that he or the gentle Kirby must die. On bis family's account, and being a man offcome culture and refinement, he at last decided to leave town and open a law office in Houston, some fifty miles south of Hemstead. After a few months' reeldeuce and lucrative practice there, be was informed ooe morning, while walking past the office of* brother lawyer, that Kirby was in tbe city, armed to the teeth, looking for him and opeuly proclaiming ti«at he all tbe way from H«flki»lead to shoot Gray."

Mr. Gra e. n«?M:n©kiogfor company, was unarmed, hut his brother lawyer said: "Mr. Gray, step into my office and get my six shooter, asd g1"* for tbe scoundrel. It ia your only chance for lite,"

Gray took tbe advtee, and just as he emerged from tbe office, he saw Kirby, i««» than half a block away, about to enter a large store io search of his prey, not having discovered that the pursued had become the pursuer, and was close

one of tbe last

of that race of men born of the spirit of slavery, and now nearly extinct, who could, single handed, rule a whole township, or even county, by fear and force. His plantation was about four miles from Hemsteati, Waller coatity, Tttxsfe. Waller county is small and contains five or six postoffices. It was, I believe, at one time, a part of Washington county. At that period the county seat waa upwards of twenty miles from Kirby's plantation. Kirby did not like drive that distance to court every session, and be conceived the idea of making a new: county with Hemstead for the county seat. He laid bis plans to that end.and, engaged one or two politicians to cooperate with him. For two years the etfort was made, but defeated, by tbe people at the polls. This did not. discourage Kirby, but rather brought out tbe resources of the man. A wholesale and retail merchant of Hemstead, named Ironbeck, was interested in tbe matter, for local reasons, and bad been one of Kirby's best political helper?.

these bills to tbe house of every

voter in that part of tbe county he wanted to set off to form a new one. As the bills were delivered by "Kirby's men" and in Kirby'a name, it was platte ly understood by each recipient as an order1 from Kirby to be present at the meettng. Very few person* bad tbe oourage to disregard suoh arcr order from such a source and the ^eault waa, everybody turned out to hafr tbe dlctaor, who simply stated the'object of the meeting, and then requested every person present to sign a petition forcreatlug anew county, and they sigped it, to a man. These petitions, "containing the unanimous, fr& and untrammeled opinion of the voters" of the townships interested, were taken to tbe legislature, and the prayer of the citizens was granted, the county was divided, and thp American eagle once more went &> roost. And yet Kirby was not happy domain avaluab)

A few miles there lived a "nigger."

Again the draper refused, and olinched his refusal by sayin, "Tell Kirby I do not wish ta seh the man at any price."

Kirby sent the messenger a $hird time, with orders to offer $1,800. V,Thia course on Kirby's part provoked'the "boy's" master, who said to his Agent, "Say to Kirby that he has not money enough to boy the map, and if I had a

rice for him. Kirby should not own anyway, if I could help It." Kirby's bulldozer answered, "Well I advise you to sell him Kirby has set bis heart on him, and it will be unsafe for yon to stand in tbe way."

From that day the slave's mftstor was made to feel that he oould not dwell in the same county with his enemy.. He was insulted by day» and shot at by night by some of Kirby's men, and given to understand that Kirby would "shoot him,on sight." Henoe be never went into public without oarrying bis electioneering documents. One day be met Kirby in Hemsteid.and the latter happened to be unarmed. Kirby did not realize tbe situation till he looked up and s*w a six shooter- about to issue a "search warraut" for his brains. He instantly tbrnst another man In front of him, and was saved by the human shield, as the by 11 at intended for Kirby was lodged in the forehead of aa innocent third party. Kirby then had his enemy arrested and tried lor manslaughter. A iawyer name Gray was retained by the defense.

Nobody felt badly wheti he died, and Heipstead country, wher£ for years, he had rnled by fear andporce, rejoiced at bis funeral.

UHCLS WltllA M. Detroit Free Press.

A year ago there was a quiet funeral Wilkiss street, and when it was over an old man called "Uncle William" was

on Wilkins

left without home or Mends, and with no means to help himself. Strangers said that he would have to go to the poor house, but when the trembling and half blind old man wiped tears from his eyes, a neighbor said: '-I will take blm into myhome and care for him a month, anyhow." "And then I will take him," added another. "And then my roof shall shelter him," said a third.

So the old man found friends. One. took him and then another, and he was well used. They were for from being rich. Their tables were lean and their beds cold, and sometimes the little that Uncle William ate was missed by tbe. hungry children, tout no one ever spoke unkindly to him or hinted that be was a burden.

One night last week, after tbe old man had sought his bed, and the children were asleep, a husband and wife sat down to say to each other that work was scarce, tbe rent behind, and—

Here they looked at each other in a shy way, as if they were ashamed of their thoughts. Tbe cold wind whistled around tbe cottage as if hungering to nip little toes, and tbe wife shivered and said: "He is so old and feeble—let us wait a few days longer." "I haven't a dollar left," mused the man, glancing at the cupboard. "But he eats only very little," protested the wife. "We have only a small house." "But he sits in the corner."

They looked at each other a long time without speaking. A vision of the poor old man battling with the fierce winter gale came to either, and stood between them with hands crossed in supplication. "He shall stay!" they whispered together, as they rose up and made ready for the nigbt, and the gale banged in at tbe doors as if oheated of its prey.

Morning came with its meagre breakfast. There was not enough for four, but it must do for seveftt *Qd tbe father iferoed a smile to bla^ece, aa he opened the old man's door ana called. "Come, Uncle William, you shall haVe the warmest plaee ana the biggest «Hbv" v..*-.

"Oh! he's dead—p«or old granpa is dead!" cried the children.

AN OWNER. _^ngfer ^ldtad# ndsooaeel^y^u^ Makie," was receivf intw latter city last'

week. After a consultation between the chief of the office and his subordinates, the former official ordered tbe missive to be displayed through the glass window that some maiden with confidence in ber charms migbt step up and boldly demand her property. The Courier, which is one of the brightest little papers in Maine, by the way, says "crowds of women have looked at that envelope, but none has dared call for It. Maiden ladies in false teeth and falser hair have stood and gazed at the magic direction, and then walked meditatively up and down tbe corridors, endeavoring to muster up oourage to face the awfully penetrating eye of the man at thedollvery window. Handsome young women with rosy cheeks and laughing eyes have seen ft and speculated as to why it was not given to them without further delay. Young men with girls have urged their respective sweethearts to step up and ask for what is clearly their own. The amount of trouble and Worry which that little envelope has oreated in our city is simply incalculable. And meantime tbe fetter tahtalizingly hangs in the window, while the Cerberus at the delivery window, awaits with uneasiness and impatience tbe dreadful moment when some woman shall demand tbe troublesome document, and be shall be forced to compel ber to show cause, if any, why he should consider ber the party named in the writ."—Portland (Me) Argus.

DRS.STARKE* & PAlvs,-Gentlemen: It is contrary to nay rulee to give certificates to the many healing remedies that are advertised, but my experience with Compound Oxygen has been such that I feet it my duty to recommend it to all my acquaintances suffering from overwork and a tendency to pulmonary trouble.. In October, 1878,1 was in very poor health. My system bad been much overtaxed, soda oold contracted in tbe spring seemed to have taken permanent bold on my lungs. I bad had several slight hemorrhages, was troubled with a cough, and was much reduced in fleah. I was discouraged and my family alarmed at my condition. A friend in Boston sent my wife one of your little books, strongly recommended your remedy. I was besought to order tbe Home Treatment, and did so. I follow ed instructions faithfully, and in three months waa a new man. My troubled had almost entirely disappeared. Tbe improvement bad been quiet, bat sure and certain from tbe time I first begap its raw.

I feel very grateful to you for it,

and wish that I oould persuade alt snffering in a similar way to perseveringly ose your very simple and effective remedy. Business is very confining and and when I take oold and foal myself running down, I resort to Gem* pound Oxygon, and it is always prompt in its results. I

SAVED BY HIBBKAT1BS. 3En old lAkeSnperior trapper, ria tried Thomia Judeon, was onae suddenly surrounded by a band of fleroe radians from whom he expected no good. Wbue making free with his outfit, they found a pair of skates among bis other trappings, and were immensely puzzled to know what to make of them.

A funny thought seemed to occur to tbe hunter as he saw their curiosity, for his gray eyes twinkled merrily. "Ice moccasin," he said, putting a skate to his foot, and then made with hia hands the gliding motion that the feet take in sksting. "Ugh!" grunted the Indian chief, pointing to the narrow blade of tbe skate,

Eim

and shaking his head. As they

were near the ice, Thomas proposed to fasten them, on a young brave for trial. The Indians welcomed tbe plan with glee, for, though savages, they were great lovers of sport. Seleoting the bravest and swiftest young fellow, tbo chief bade him stick out his feet, which he did rather suspiciously.

The skates were soon strapped on, and the young buok helped to bis feet. The ice was like glass, and as he started to move, you know what hap-

ened* His feet flew out from under and down he came with a crack. Such shouts of laughter as the rest set up! The young fellow was gritty, and scrambled up to try it again, !ut with the same result.

The chief now signaled the hunter to show tbem how the things worked, Thomas fastened on the skates with reat care, picked up his rifle and used as a cane, pretending to support himself.

He moved awkwardly, fell down, got np and stumbled around, the Indians aU the time laughing and capering at the sport. Gradually Thomas stumbled a little farther away, whirling about, and making believe it was very hard work to keep his balance, until be was near tbe point where tbe smooth lake ice stretched miles and miles away.

Suddenly gathering himself up, he grasped his rifle firmly, gave a warwhoop as wild as the Indian's own. and dashed up tbe lake an arrow, skating as he had never skatod before. If be had disappeared in the air, the Indians couldn't have been more astonished. Of Course they couldn't hope to catch him over the glassy ice. aud they stood gaping after him, wondering more and more at the magio "ioe moccasins."

Nothing pleased old Thomas in after years more than to tell how be "fooled the redskins."—Golden Rule.
