TWO NEWSPAPERS,

In which all Advertisements appear for TOE PRICE OF ONE ISSUE.

THE ARMLESS WOMAN.

.We were reading in an exchange the other day of the marriage of a woman in England who was born without arm?, but who can use her toes with remarkable dexterity. She can sew, knit, crochet, use a knife und fork, and scratch her head with her toes with as much ease as more fortunate mortals can with their fingers.

After readiug the article we leaned back in our easy chair, closed our eyes and allowed our thoughts to go off on an excursion across the water. We followed that girl from the day when she first snared a beau until her marriage, and some of the meutal pictures we drew were indeed queer ones.

When her lover would call of couree she received liluias otuer ladies would, aud imagine bow odd it would be to see her reaching up her foot, taking his hai between ber too*, placing it upon tbe table aud motioning him to a seat. She would sit by bis side talking all tbe little nonsensical nothings tbat lovers usually talk, over and anon slapping him lovingly on the cbeek with tbe sole of ber loot when he would get off some joke at her expense. She spies a hair on bia collar, aud with a dexterity closely bordering on tbe marvelovs, reaching up with witching grace, takes* it in ber toes and casts it away. We can Bee her sitting there with ber fool in bis hand responding to bis tender snueezes, or coyly, toying with his whiskers with her taper toes. May lisp lie may hint ttlat he doubts her constancy, when, with an injured look upon her fair face, she puts ber foot on bur heart and assures bim thai it bests only for bim, that at every pulsation tbe bounding blood murmurs his beloved name Then be smiles, takes tbe lovely foot In bis hand, kisst-s it loudly and assures her that he was but jes ing, and tbat he would as HOOII doubt the purity of a bafoo as to doubt her love. If his uecfctie became loosened how race fully she would tie il with both out, tapping the tie neatly down with a big toe when the job was completed. We can picture he screaming with laughter and clipping her feel in gloe over some funny story, or wiping away the unbidden tuur wftn her toes at a recital of want and sullenng. When about to part he would *kis her and as« ber for just one loving embrace, aud with the light of love beaming

111

her eye she

would—but no, that is out of the question. We forgot for the moment her uu fortunate condition. He would have to do all tbe embracing himself. She would hand hlin his hut, escort him to the door, give bim a good night shake of the foot, aud then sit doWn by the tire and draw a beautiful picture of the day when he would tall upon his knees before her and ask ber for her foot and heart. Then sho would retire to her chamber, undress, sit down on the floor, and bury her face in her feet and say her prayers, as all good girls should, aud go to bud to dream of a future frescoed with bliss and dadoed with supreme happiness.

Aud the marriage ceremony! Of course tbe bride could not enter leaning upon the arm of the groom as is custom try, for it would be rather unipue and odd to see her hopping in on one foot as she might attract undue attention. They approach the alter and the ceremony begins. Where right bands are usually joined she must give him ber right foot, and at the words ''with this ring I wed." tbe peculiar clrcumstauces of the case would compel him to nlaoe the gold baud of love upon one of her toes. Of course it would tickle her and she might flinch and wiggle her pearly toes, but vhls need cause no seilous hitch in the proceedings. After the ceremony friends would crowd up and shake her fo«^ and rain down blessings and kind wishes upon her head, and under propi tlo'is skies they would set forth to-

upon the journey of life, foot in and. And if the union should be blessed with children how exhilarating it would be to sue her spank an obstinate young ster. She would snatch him up with her toes, lay him across her knee and whacst the holy delights out of him with the sole of her foot. Then she would release him, shake her toe at him sternly and tell him that if he over dlsob»y* her again she will make him think be "has been sitting on a hot stove lid. As to kticuiing dough for the morning bis cult—welt we will drop the curtain of curiosity and pursue ner uo further. Just let your imagination take up the thread where we drop it, dear rrader, and you will havo a bushel of fun. Imagine her doing the "Grand right and left," at a ball, for instance— DtUuih Tribune.

CHARACTER IN THE FAMILY CIRCLE, Home life is the sure test of character. Let a husband be cross and surly, and the wife grow cold and unamiable. The children grow up saucy and savage as young bears. The husband becomes callous, peevish, and hard. The wife bristles in self-defense. They develop an unnatural growth and sharpness of teeth, and the house is haunted by ugliness and domestic brawls. This is not what the fanmiy circle should be. If rude to any, let it be to some one he does not love—not to wife, brother or parent. Let one of the loved or ©s be taken away, aud memory recalls a thousand sayings to regret. Death quickens recollection painfully. The grave cannot hide the white faces of those who sleep. The coffin and green mound are cruel magnets. They draw us further than we would go. They force us to remember. A man never sees ao for into human life as when he looks over a wife's or mother's gnva. His eyes get wondrous dear then, and he seea as never before what it is to love and be loved what it la to injure the feelings of the loved. It Is a pitiable picture of human weakness when those we love best are treated worst.

DEARTH OF ENGAGEMENTS.

YOUNG PEOPLE IN bOCIETY ALL FIGHTINU »HY OF EACH OTHER.

ANew York society writer asks: What has become of all tbe engagements? Generally one can bear of any number of them about this time of year—the result of Lenten opportunities. But engagements, and four o'clock teas, and several other pleasant and sensible fashions seem to have gone quite out of style. We heard one you n^ society man say recently tbat bethought young men nowadays were afraid to marry, to wbicb a s«ciety girl answered that she was perfectly certain girls were. There is more truth than poetry iivwhat be said, audit is no wonder tbat men areaftaid of what our girls seem to be. The saving clause is, they are not what tbey seem, but in many cases considerably better. It is ouiv the sbad JW of the real girl that young men see an unsubstantial fabric that dances, flirts and gabbles, sings a li: tie, plays a little, gushes and loafs a great deal, and altogether impresses young men with tbe idea tbat she is exactly tbe right person not to marry. She herself is a remarkable young person, if you consider tbe number of things she does well, and still has time left to indulge in the elegant idleness tbat impresses outsiders to such a damaging extent. Scarcely«a girl in stx-iety but does a fair amount of studying in one direction or aiiotber, a part of bee1 mother's. housekeeping, entertaining and duty visiting, more reading than she dare give herself credit for, and in many cases an astonishing amount of sewing. Toe girls wbo do»all this are tbe very ones to keep it to themselves it is idle people wbo are always lettingyou know how busy tbey are, and because tbey do not keep a sewing machine in their parlors and an ink spot on their fingers, young men take it for granted tbat "society girls are not industrious, or sensible, or studious. Taking things for granted is often another means of judging unjustly. The trouble, however, lies tirst with the girls themselves. It seems to be not that they object to being industrious, but to its being known that tbey are so, and is a perversity of tbe female mind tbat we acknowledge but cannot account for.

A GIRL'S IDEA OF A CARPET. Boston Herald. A frivolous youug lady demanded a voice with the rest of the family in tbe selection of a new parlor carpet. Indian designs and colorings figure conspicuously iu tbe new goods, as ttfb floral figures of light shades. In many of the new carpets tbe borders match, while the fasbiou of putting a large rug in tbe center of the room, with the polished or marquetry floor exposed as a border, has apparently passed its acme of popularity. Although rugs are sold as frequently as before tbey are oltener used on thresholds and hearths. Ingrain rugs are having a run. They come in all colors and resthetJc designs, some of ihem being clever imitations of tbe Kensington art carpets. But I began to tell a true story to illustrate tbe nicety of educated female calculation in producing the best personal effects. "I don't care so much about the colors," said the girl, "nor whether we get a regular carpet or a rug and most of tbe patterns may consist of small designs, if you like, so long as there are a few figures in it of oblong shape, and about eight by fourteen inches in size. really must insist upon those dimensions, and I want the outlines to be distiuct. Why am I particular about these points? Simply because my feet are rather large. My knowledge of art is sufficient to teach me tbat the eye judges of size by comparison. If my root is put out for view on or beside a tig tire In a carpet tbat is smaller than itself, don't you see that it shows for all its actual dimensions but if it rests on a distinct design of three or four times its own area, il is apparently reduced. So our carpet must have a few big flgures in it for my personal use. As soon as you have made tbe selection, I will know by the colors, how to make purchases of hosiery for the season. Tbe exactions of dress nowadays require harmony oj hues." .7

HOTEL SOUP.

An old hotel cook has been letting out some of the secrets of the kitchen to a Cincinnati Enquirer reporter. He says the head cook, in making preparation for dinner, cuts off tbe heads and feet of the poultry, and trims out the bones and fat off the meat. These are all dumped into a kettle of water. Everything in the way of meat is thrown into this receptacle, and the heterogeneous mass is boiled up as soup for dinner. Say a guest calls for vermicelli soup. A ladle full is dipped from this common kettle into a dish, and a bandfnl of vermicelli, taken from a side table and dropped into it, gives it at lea»t tbo semblance of tbe kind ordered. Say it is tomato soup. A spoonful of cooked tomatoes thrown in in the same way will make the average guest think ho has received all be has ordered. So it is when beef soup, oxtail soup—in fact, all other soups are made by this process out of this kettle. Don't order soup.

ABOUT THE SlZE OF IT. Peoria Call. Mr. Ingersoll has been to another funeral, and all the newspapers have printed what he said on that occasion. His regular funeral speech might be simmered down to about this: "The man is dead and that is the end of him, except what grows up into trees and grass from his mould. He was not a Christian, but he was a mighty good fellow, and that shows that Christianity is fraud. Cover him up and come away." That is about the site of Ingersoll's regular speech on such occasions, garnished about the edges with the "green herbs," of "clinging vines," "sighing pines."

of "clinging vines," "sighing pines,* "weeping willows" and "dew be-sprent bloanoms." As "Father Tom" said of the Pope's wine, it is **good enough, but mortil cold." ——————a

CIRCUS COMPANIES PREPARING TO START OUr ON THE ROAD.

Philadelphia Press.

I In a short time several circus cOmb! nations, ail advertised a gigantic, and pmiuBning excellent attractions, but varying decidedly iu their degree of immensity, will open in Philadelphia. Like the frogi* and flies, a circus disappears from sight when cold weather seta in, and is not beard of again by the public, the small boy aud his sister, until the vernal sun begins to command attention and remind tne weather it is time to buy thinuer clothing. Where has the circus been during all tbe long mouth* of winter? Hibernating.

During tbe |ast Ave months there have been three prominent organization in winter quarters iu Philadelphia— Adam Forepaugh's, John B. Doris sand John C. O'Brien's. A pres- reporter's jaunt among tbem the other day brought some interesting facts. Though Phil adelpbia is tbe home of tne various proprietors, yet they are unanimous in the belief that this is tbe best city in America in which to spend tbe oa months and refit for the summer's campaign. "Why,' said one, "suppose 1 want new canvas, or poles, or hardware, or, in

anything connected with this

oranch of the show business, I can get it within a few squares. Iu New York 1 would just as likely have to go to tbe other eud of the city. Besides,* he continued, "feed is cheap here, and rents not exorbitant.' These reasons are ponderously strong with a manager who is passing through a period of all outgo and no income. Adam Forepaugb says tbat it has cost bim for repairs and running expenses since the close of last season $85,000.

But the winter is not an idle time with thecircus manager, by any means. A small army of artisans is kept busy as bees repainting wagons, strengthening traveling caves, making new tents or repairing old ones, ana repairing and freshening things up generally. One proprietor alone has used over eighty tons of paint and $3,000 worth of gold leaf. Some of bis men are portrait painters of a high order of talent. This same gentleman has a force of eight blacksmiths merrily pounding out horseshoes and wagon irons. Some of these, too, are bard at work puttingsboes on tbe horses, which are without while off duty.

Circus horses must needs go by highsounding names and descend from a royal race, but tbe truth is tbe most come from Kentucky and England. Keen judges cull them from droves, and if tbey develcpe the necessary intelligence tbey are retained, and if not, disposed of as quickly as possible. For bareback riding the older horses are best as tbey get a steadiness of gait which a ttve-year-old lacks, though they are out in tbe ring as early as that age. The only employes who stay arouud winter quarters', besides the mechanical force, are tbe necessary attendants upon tbe horses and mouagerie. The room in which the tropical animals are is kept at a temperature of about sixty-five degress. Here is a collection of representatives of tbe natural history of many lands. A liquid-eyed RocJcy Mountain fawn which would lovingly lick a hand, and an African lion and 'Bengal tiger, either of which could crunch a mau's head, and wants to do it, have cages adjoining. Tbe lion-tamer, a quiet and undemonstrative man, and about tbe last person who would be taken for that perilous vocation,vouchsafed the following information

You can only ceutrol a lion by the sense of fear. He feels no iwv$ or, at least, not one in a score. When I go into the cage'of these lions I never think of being afraid. If I did I wouldn't live a minute. A lion can tell when one is afraid as quick as the person knows it himself. "My whip? Oh, well, that is just to remind him with.' It don hurt, but every now and then I hit him just to say *I'iu boss.'" "How can yon tell when a lion is angry?*

4-

By his ev»*s. Did you ever see a cat's eye in the dark? Well tbat is the WH

way

lion's eye gets when hes savage. The next thing would be a spring, only I drop him with a hickory club first. If you hit a lion on the ear he is very easily knocked down. But there must be no failure. Failure wben bo is angry is dead. Still, I'm not afraid. 1'vo been among lions since I was a boy. To handle tbem now is secoud nature to me."

The flying favorites of the circus ring are usually only engaged for the season, and they migrate like the birds. A large proportion of these performers are Europeans, and tbey have been bred to the profession from childhood. When mademoiselle trips airily and smilingly into, the arena, and bounds upon a flying steed, there are few in the great amphitheater who for a moment think of tbe long weary years of practice that have been necessary before her daring equestrian feats can be performed with comparative safety. When madamoiselle was a child of about seven, her patents, because her ancestors for generations have probably been in the usiness, began her education. She is taught to ride a quiet horse around a ring, with a belt around her waist, to which is fastened a rope running over a pulley, high up over the center of the ring. The other end of this rope is held by her riding master. The apparatus is technically known as a "mechanic." If she slips she does not fall, but oscillates in mid air, suspended by her preceptor's strength of arm. Circus horses have pulverized rosin sprinkled on them to prevent the performers slipping. By and by madamoiselle gains years, confidence and skill,, and she feels just as much assurance of safety as a hod-carrier does in mounting a ladder. In her flying leaps through rings, or when poised on a single foot, with her horse at full gallop, she is just as certain of her footing as the reader is on abroad pavement. When she falls in the arena it is usually the fault of the horse. It is a fact not generally known that many of these female riders are devoted wives and mothers.

HEY SETTLED. ore wrangling tbe other of tbem called out:

Two men

day, when one "I tell you I dont owe you no |6!w "I say voo do!" "Audi wont pay itP* "Then 111 sue you!"

At this point a pedestrian halted and inquired of the one: "Do you honestly owe him?" "Not a penny, sir!" "And will you sue him tor |8r* be asked or tbe other. "I will!" "Give him sa+en dollara," continued the pedestrian to tbe debtor—"give him seven and be glad to. If be sues bet rare of a verdict, and your expenses will reach at least ten dollars. Give him •even acd be thankful tbat you are besting two lawyers, a justice and a constable, six Jurymen and two witnesees out of their feea."

A satisfactory settlement cm the apot.

A FRONTIER LYNCHING. Did you ever see a lynching? A genuine Joaquin Miller sensation, stripped or its unreal mountains, impossible trees and unimaginable rocks, aud done out in tbe bare browns and reds of asullen spring morning in the barren, deso-1 late gorges of the Rockies? Just follow the crowd as it gathers at ilk postoffice, aud, at last, in silence and seriousness, moves slowly over tbe hill to the jail. Everybody knows there is death in tbe air.

The "solid citizens" stand ac the doors of their respective schools and see tbe "mob" go by, a mob in which are their sous and brothers. A dru-en Justice of tbe Peace, old 'Squire O'Mara, who tried to kill himself last week, brace* bleariiy up iu a doifway, and calmly, even smilingly, regarus tbe men who ae about to take law into their owu bauds. Tbey mouut the hill aud surruund the palisades wbicb fence in tbe peu where three murderers aud many tbeives aud "bums" are confined.

Oue corner of the jail is honored by a double row of slabs along ita sides, aud aruuud this corner cluster most of ihe tueu, according to their precoucerted plan, wuiie tbe'ringleaders go around to ihe wicket to interview Jailer Fish. Tuey kuow tbe answer they will get, for Jiiu Fisb is true as steel, and tells them they'll get bis prisoners after they've gotten tbe best of him, and not before. It's a dangerous game, but the vigilantes play to win at all hazards. Convinced of tbe firmness of Fish's purpose, they leave bim, gather ouce more arouud "Murderer's Corner,' and iu momeut the cracking of tiny, creepiug flames is beard, beuvy smoke stifles the wretched prisouers, and their cries and shouts form a terrible accompaniment for tbe short, sharp blows of detily wielded axes cutting into Jim Murphy's cell.

In ten nnnirtes he is out writhing, terror-stricken iu tbe grasp of a halt dozen men, some of wnom, possibly, asked him only last week for a'*iob." The jailer is forced to busy himself in releasing his other prisoners, aud has no time now to check the mob even il be could. But can this wretched, dwarfed, carrot-haired, sandy bearded and altogether villainous-looking rulttan be the dapper, black-browed gamble whose broadcloth was wont to be no blacker or smoother than his own locks? The transformation has indeed come, and the king of Secret Gulch stands revealed as tbe tramp who killtd the Frenchman on Cut-Throat Flat.

How curiously the boys stare at him as tbey hurry bim along to the old shaft on tho hill where once stood tbe wiudlass and hoist of tbe Mory mine, out of which Jim Murphy swindled the widow of its discoverer. The splendid new works yonder cannot help hHr miserable owner now, for it is at tbe mouth of the deserted shaft that be uietiis his fat«. The windlass chain still hold the bucket over tbe sullen water forty feet btlow, and a 200 pound weight is easily and quickly slipped into the bucket without Murphy's S'eing it. "Have you got anything to say before you die?" says Big Bill, aud for a moment all is silnnt. Tbe murderer's coal, bat and boots have been stripped from bim for tbe first time since be went to prison, three weeks ago. His small, greenish eyes look eagerly about for chance to escape, but two six-shooters stare him in the 4ace.

SCARCELY

He vents a volley

of oaths and imprecations, but begs no mercy, maiies no denial. "Jim Murphy, alias California Retldy," says Big Bill, "the vigilantes of Secret Gulch condemn you to instant death. You know why, and it's no use to take up time telling you." Half a dozen hands bind tbe still struggling wretch to the bucket, in which be is forcibly seated. Years ago be went down tbis shaft at night, secretly, when it belonged to John Rowatid's widow, to see what it bad at tbe bottom: and tbe next day be bought iu riches from the widow for a song. Now he Is to go down it again, in broad daylight, but never to come back.

Tbecbaiu is wound up, and now, over tbe yawning shaft and its black bottom of water, bangs the wretch, between earth and Heaven, au object to gods and men. At a signal tbe bandies of tbe windlass are released' from tbe bands tbat hold them, and, with the rapidity of lightning, the bucket,with its shrieking human freight, shoots downward to the very bottom, striking tbe water with a loud splash, but never staying its beadlong course until the very bea-rock below is reached.

After ten minutes the drippirg, distorted slimy body is hoisted to the surface and the remainder of tbe vigilautes' sentence carried out. Tbe renwinr oi the gambler king of Secret Gulch, at this writing, hang from the big telegraph pole in tbe Placer mines. Nobody is liJkely to cut it down soon, for on its breast is pinned a notice wbich reads as follows:

To all tbe thugs, thieves, cut-throata, horse thieves ana disreputable loafers of Secret Gulch: You are hereby given six hours to leave the camp, and warned by the example of Jim Murpby. We mean business, and shall execute tbe commands of 3-7-77.

Six hours have elapsed since the posting of tbis notice, *hicb now adorns tbe cburcb door and the saloon screens alike. The trails down the gulcbes and southward to Idaho are already lined with swift fleeing men, some of whom have diamonds and broadcloth, but no hats.— Correspondence Philadelphia Press.
