A wedding on the top of Pike’s Peak was reported a few days ago. A Kentucky couple have taken an opposite course by going underground for the ceremony. Henry McCallister, accompanied by a small party, arrived at Cave City. Country wagons were procured at once, and the gay company, which included a Louisville clergyman, drove over the

John Baltersby, for twenty years the chief of living skeletons in the side show, has of late been uiissed from the ranks of the human curiosities. The reason is that from a weight of 57 pounds he has rapidly grown to 125, and seems hound to get fat. He is now running a blacksmith shop in Philadelphia. ‘‘Yes, sir,” he said to a Press reporter, with a sigh, “Othello’s occupation’s gone. I feel that fate has been unkind to me. It is simply frightful to a man who once could have a lantern shine through him; and what do you think was the cause of it? Nothing but an accident. Yes, sir. A miserable horse become frightened at one of the dummy engines and threw me out of the wagon, injuring my spine, hips, and shoulder. From that day I began to pick up in tlesh. and now I’m no card for even five-cent side show,” and the shadow of otlur ilays glared savagely at his un- { profitable legs. But Battershy is still a

The powder was placed in the big rock that has slipped down over the mouth of the cave, the match applied, every body got out of the way, and sh-bang ! it went —every body made a rush, hut the rock didn’t burst, and so the supposed skel— tons of the ancient tribes still lie smouldering within the walls of the mighty cavern.

It is an unprecedented success, said Mr. Chas. S. D’Arcambal, the wellknown Burdick House druggist, when asked for his views in regard to the St. Jacobs Oil; it is highly extolled, and is
giving general satisfaction.
A house was taken to pieces for removal, at Negaunee, Mich., and on the following morning nearly every bit of it was missing. A search among twentyseven familDs’ wood piles solved the mystery, and twenty-seven fines of $10 each were imposed. “‘Sellers' Liver Pills' cured me of liver complaint.”—D. II.

It seems that Charles Ilowlett, whom the Bloomington mob took out of jail and hanged for killing the keeper, had previously offended the people of the place by fooling them. Ho went there two years ago wearing good clothes and showing gentlemanly manners, and quickly became a social favorite. Me declared that he had no knowledge of who he was nor any recollection ofhis past life, being unable to even recall his real name. This intellectual peculiarity' won him great sympathy, particulary from the women, and the physicians discussed his case in a public meeting. Then the fact came out that he had long been a professional criminal, an 1 several thefts sent him to prison for trial.

Logansport (Indl Daily Jourual. I Bell more of St. Jacobs Oil, remarked Mr. D. E. Pryor, 112 E. Broadway, to our reporter, than of any other article of its kind, ami I consider it the best liniment in use. It has to my knowledge cured severe cases of rheumatism in this community. A man was paralyzed by a stroke of lightning at Highwater, Minn. Some of hii friends reasoned,that if earth would receive electricity from the buried end of a lightening rod it would iu the same manner draw out the charge which they supposed him to be filled. Therefore they dug a hole and covered him up to chin. He died in that position. AMERICAN LADIES. The first impression Sara Bernhardt received o f the American ladies manifested itself thusly: “Oh ! ze ladies, za are so beautiful, such clear complexion I nevare see before,” all of which is due to the universal use of Swayne’s Ointment for skin diseases, which insures a clear and clean complexion, and a healthy color. This recalls to mind the divine precept, “cleanliness is next to Godliness.” oct The cost of culchah has increased in Boston. Beans have advanced $1 a barrel

HOW WONDERFUL IS MAN!
Man as a physiaal, intellectual and moral being becomes most completely developed in alibis parts and faculties by using daily, at least, one dose of Brown’s Iron Bitters.

The Rev. Robert Matlock, who was a wild exhorter of note in Arkansas, found that Methodism imposed too m uch restraint upon him, and therefore invented a new sect, in which a belief in blood atonement was the peculiarity, lie soon obtained a numerous following and at the camp meeting which he held lambs were burned on altars. He was a queer speaker. and had a habit of calling sinners by name from the pulpit, with such descriptive epithets as “liar,” “knave,” and ‘‘thief.’’ Tom Miller was thus assailed, and he told the preacher that the abuse must he stopped. The two men met at a fair, discussed the subject a while, and agreed to shake hands; hut when Matlock extended his hand there was a knife in it, and ho stabbed Miller to the heart “as a blood atonement.” A jury declared the clergyman irresponsibly insane, and he was released. That was a year ago, and the next seen of him b}’ the pu^c was this week, when his body was found hanging to a tree. Friends of Tom Miller had caught and lynched him. But the new religion, called New Light, still survives.
