IL Beyerle, wife of the junior editor of the Goshen Tinies, was buried at Goshen one day last week. Grippe was the cause of her death. It is said that down in Georgia there is a postoffice called Purgatory, and the postmaster's name is Godbethere. A petition signed by four hundred citizens of LaGrange county lias been sent to the warden of the Northern prison asking that Martin Hall be dealt with as leniently as possible. The Indianapolis Sentinel has aroused the disgust of many of its democratic brethren of the Indiana press by publishing an editorial under the caption, “The Party’s Peril.” The Sentinel is noted for its faculty of “slopping over.” Speaker Crisp has assigned Congressman Shively to the ways and means committee, the most important one in the House. The speaker did this as a reward foi Shively’s services as one of the leaders of the Indiana delegation in helping to land him into the speaker’s chair. It is quite an honor conferred upon the young statesman from St. Joseph county. It is reported that a certain man in this city hired a couple of little boys to carry a load of stove wood into his office and paid them for the job—in last year’s calendars. This looks like very strict economy to say the least.LaPorte Herald. There is an “economist” in this place who can lay the LaPorte man in the shade. This man hired a boy to drive*cows agreeing to pay him two .ents fpr the w .ri . and then cheated yth of *:

The foot-pad is getting in his work with his little sand-bag quite frequently in Indianapolis. About every night some one is victimized in the Hoosier capital by these chaps. Quite a number of Elkhart county farmers, who succeeded in laying up something for a rainy day, are moving to town, turning their farms over to tenants. Elkhart, Goshen and Nappanee are gaining a good many accessions in this way.—South Bend Times. The same is true of Walkerton.

• Scanlan, the actor, is insane and it is thought he will never again be able ;to appear on the stage. Insanity । seems to be the doom of a large per ‘ centage of the more noted actors of the : present day. The dangers and dissi- ; pations incident to a lack of home inthience is believed to be a fruitful cause of this trouble among theatrical people. Poverty and riches are comparative. A poor widow was so destitute that she could keep her little ones comfortable at night when the cold weather came only by warming boards for them to lie on. One of them, when the board had made her comfortable, asked. ‘-Mamma, what will poor children do who have no warm boards to lie on?” Warm boards were her wealth.—New Albany Tribune. Whenever you hear a man say, “There’s nothing in the paper,” you may set it down as a fact that he never reads more than the head lines and would not if the paper contained more reading matter than could be road in a month.—New Albany Tribune. . Yes, and as a rule these self-consti-tuted critics of newspapers couldn’t spell apple-pie or write a two-line item to save their lives. It is easy to find fault but considerably more difficult to originate.

The following advice is right to the point and well worthy of a thoughtful perusal: “Everything is your business that helps your employer’s business. He is seldom a fool, and if he keeps any record of work and its cost your efforts to save your time and his money will not be thrown away. Even if he is unappreciative, or does not know enough of your end of his business to realize what your doing for him, you must remember that every ***¥ k “U advance jou make height 'you make a’cfiange'oFsitiStjon. The man who knows the most and can apT ply his knowledge the quickest can always command the highest price, if not in one place, then in another. The man who only -works with the idea of knocking through his ten hours will be a drudge at his trade, and will grieve to see the youngster pass him in his race. Think while you work. Let head and hands combine.”

Ke Was Happy. He had a girl on his arm and was hunting the “license office,” says the Detroit Free Fress. When he found it and had drawn up alongside the clerk’s desk, he chuckled a bit and remarked, nodding his head toward the young lady: “See this gal, mister; she’s jest the biggest fool in ten states, she is.” “She doesn’t look it,” responded the gallant clerk, with a bow. “PT? s not; but she is. mister.” The girl gave him a tender little shake and told him to hush up, “Listen at her,” he said to the clerk with a chuckle; “listen at her. Don’t know nothin’ ’bout herself at all, she don’t. Wants me to hush up; but I won’t. Say, mister, can’t we get a license here?” “A marriage license?” inquired the clerk. “That’s what,” he answered, with confident pride. “For you and this young lady?’’ asked the clerk again. “You bet it an't no other, mister,” he said, slapping the clerk across the shoulders. The clerk made it out, handed it over and took the fee. “Didn’t I tell you she was the biggest fool in len states,” he said, as he stuck the license into his pocket. “Look at her, will you? Sl’ck as a whistle and as party as a yearlin’ calf. Got a 100aere farm, too. in her own right, and she’s goin’ to marry a feller like me. Now say, mister, did you ever hear of sich a fool trick as that?” and he chuckled till he shook all over. “Trotting” the Baby. The practice of “trotting” a child on, the kuee of the nurse or the mother, though it has the sanction of long practice, has not the sanction of compion sense, and should never be indulged, especially with infants. Treating the adult body in the ratio of corresponding strength, the exercise would be about equivalent to being ourselves churned up and down on the walking-beam of a good-sized steam engine. It has been very properly eaid that “gentle movement is as pleasant to the child as riding in an easily-running carriage on a smooth road to an adult; knee-jolting as ununpleasant and harmful as a journey over the worst corduroy roads.”— Good Housekeeping. Hard on the French Soldier. The French soldier is much agitated by the news that in time of peace, as in war, he must henceforth, when on duty, carry his heavy knapsack and other i amp accoutrements.
