OTHER PEOPLF

»nd-

The Vanderbilt family is net some, but noted for good figures. It is said that General Butler has discovered, in collecting statistics for his message, that 65 per cent, of the money appropriated to the charitable institutions goes to pay salaries of officers.

Talmage says spanking children should be done coolly .quietly vigorously, and with the aim to let the lesson sink deep into their little hearts. A father who will jump up and knock a boy over with the dictionary must be prepared to see him turn out a pirate.

Two young men who started out from Salt£Lake City the other day,armed with pistol and escorted by seconds, to fight a duel, very sensibly threw away their pistols on reaching the duelling ground, and fought the battle with their fists. Probably the victor 'got as much satisfaction, and a great deal more peace of mind, than he would have experienced had he killed his antagonist.

Charles F. Freeman, who sacrificed his child in a religious frenzy at Pocasset, Mass., three years ago, and is now in a lunatic asylum, is regarded as having recovered his reason, and is likely soon to be released. "The child's life was lost," he says, "through ignorance and superstition. Knowledge and science have saved mine and restored my reason. I intend to be guided by reason through the rest of my life."

New York society must be in a perilous state. There were three divorces granted to ex-Fifth svenue belles

enness on the part of the husband, a second "because of the husband's cowardly and poltroon spirit," whatever that may siguify, and the third because oNase, it being shown that the hus band was in the habit of raising welts on his wife's back with a cane. Civilization must be at high tide in New York.

Beecher is the most notorious procrastinator in the literary record, hardly excepting Coleridge. Bonner's way of getting copy was to send a man over to Beecher's house with orders not to

leave

until it was finished. The messenger was met by promises to "send it immediately," but his reply was, "Thank you air, I will wait and carry it." He would take his sert and remain "patiently waiting, with a determination to stay all night, and Beecher, being thus compelled, would go to work and furnish the article.

—Mis. Roach, in the McKeen block, has received this week "a new lot of Feathers, and is selling Winter Millinery st cost. Order# for Dress sad Cloak making, promptly filled.

ABOUT WOMEN.

Twenty-seven women working in a gang were a sad sight at Atlanta. A somnambulistic girl got out of bed at Prescott, Minn., and walked across half a mile of ice and snow to the railroad station, elad in her night clothes only, and was waiting for a train when awakened.

A Green Bay man sold a horse and wagon and cow, in order to present his wife with $1,000 in gold on Christmas She waagj ust waiting for a lift of this kind to enable her to elope with a resident of Milwaukee.

The daughter of a wealthy Buffalo man quarrelled with him and left her home. A large reward was offered for her discovery, and the detectives soon found her doing kitchen work in a Detroit family. Her employer was loth to give her up, she had proved such an efficient and industrious servant.

At Hoosick Falls, Monday night, Mrs Dunham threw her arms around her husband's neck, exclaiming: "I thank God that we have had such a happy Christmas!" Her head sank upon his shoulder as he replied that he hoped they would live to see many of them, but she made no response she was dead of heart disease.

Boston is a queer old town. In some of the leading papers of that city, the aristocratic mercantile caterers advertise to supply ladies with the purest brandy and other liquors, that can be obtained in the market. It purports to be for the benefit of milady's nerves. Who knows but that before many years the beauty of the household will be the patron of drinking resorts and the husband the martyr of the family

LITTLE SMBMONS.

Choose a wife rather by your ear than your eye. He that grasps at too much holds nothing fast.

He that falls to-day may be up again I vmorrow.i As love thinks no evil, so enrey speaks n» good.

If it were not for hopes, the heart would break. A detractor is his own foe sod the world's enemy.

He that gives his heart will not deny his money. An hour of pain is as longa»» day of pleasure.

He that does you a very ill tu*a will never forgive you. How many things hath4,he to repent of that lives long!

Forget other people's faults by remembering your own. A man in passion, rides a. boon that runs away him.

He that shows a passion tells his enemy where he may hit him.. ,'
