Three years since Mr. and Mrs. Z. M. Smith

John Gaviej*. who has recently been sent to 
the Indiana State Prison for life for the murder 
of a stage driver, haadiscovered that his iniquit¬ 
ous act was after all a means of grace. “ 1 stand 
tills day," be says, “ft redeemed Christian from 
sin. 1 believe If I laid not killed thill old Stage 
driver I would be in hell this day. 1 was drinlc- 
ett myself to death just as fast- as T could, and I 
was so drunk when I killed him I liked to died 
afterwards." 
After Susan IJ. Anthony lootured at Itipoti, 
Wis.,she wanted some recreation and amuse¬ 
ment, so she took a walk on Sunday around the 
graveyard there. While she was enjoying the 
Him noire of a tombstone, she heard a loi of little 
hoys saying, “That's her,” and slio thought 
‘•such is fame." Congratulating herself that 
even the children of Iho land knew her, she was 
accosted hyuo urchin, whoftald, “Say,ain’t you 
the old woman that walks up the wire outlie 
circus tent to-morrow ?” 
It is not often that, a man is called to suffer 
from a succession of bereavements such us have 
fallen to the lot of Ihe Rev. Dr. Woolsoy, Presi¬ 
dent of Vain College. Tn 1643 Im was called 
upon to bury one daughter and two sons during 
the same month. In 1863 he parted from, wife 
and daughter. Iu J861 " son and daughter were 
removed within a month’s space. In view of 
these singular providences, occurring at regular 
Intervals of nine years each, he occasionally re¬ 
marked that, although he was not superstitious 
at all, he dreaded 1870. Unfortunately his most 
gloomy forebodings must then have experienced 
complete realization, for not only it brother and 
a sister, but two favorite daughters were fol¬ 
lowed to the grave. But as One gold from the 
refiner's fire, his character becomes purer, 
nobler. Insuring ns well the veneration as the 
love of all who know him.

NEWS AND NOVELTIES, 
Some of the Frenchmen exiled from their 
country by Louis Napoleon, in 1651, and now 
resident in England, are about to suo him in his 
private capacity for damages for llicir long ban¬ 
ishment. li lssaifl that the amounts claimed of 
the ox-Emperor arc about £4410,000. 
An Illinois man who had his watch stolen 
from his pocket, and advertised that the tbier 
must return it if he would avoid trouble, re¬ 
ceived before 11 o'clock on the same day three 
watches, and a Idler promising a fourth if lie 
would send 635 and ask no questions. 
A physician of Springfield, Mass,, was hur¬ 
riedly called away trom Ihe dinner table recent¬ 
ly by n messenger who made the following re¬ 
quest There has a child fallen iuto a drain 
and got drowned; we've got the water out of 
him. and now ive want you to come and get the 
mud out of him." 
The purest river water known to exist, is that 
of the small Swedish river Lolta, which in 100,000 
parts contains loss than one part of mineral sub¬ 
stance. The Thames, at London Bridge, con¬ 
tains in iho same quantity of water front 69 to 
70 parts; the Seine, at Paris, from 33 to 34; and 
the river Jordan from 130 t o 131 parts of mineral 
substance in the same quantity of water. 
The I lend-masterships of the great public 
schools in England are very valuable. Eton is 
worth nbcail 630,000, willi a large residence; 
Harrow, ihe same; Rugby, about 630,000. In 
former days heud-niaslris usually became bish¬ 
ops. but they arc not so certain of miters now. 
Dr. Vaughn, the late head-master of Harrow, 
lias twice said nolo ttpi&copiiri, A rare instance. 
A Kansas billiard table is thus described: 
‘ First, in the middle of the floor was a largo 
goods box. on which was laid about a wagon 
load of sand-slone. Covered will) about eight 
yards of blue jeans. For pockets they had old 
boots, about No. 10; for cues they used old 
broken hoe handles; boiled eggs for balls, and 
to count this lovely game they used dried apples 
oil a clothes line." 
A Prussian officer of Uhlans, who was taken 
prisoner at the battle of Orleans, demands two 
hundred and lirty thousand francs damages for 
the cruel treatment he sayfe he Underwent at rho 
hands of the French aul Imril ies, and of lliemobs 
or the cities which Im passed through on his way 
t<> hi? plaoo of imprison mem. Bismarck says 
the claim fs well grounded, and that Ihe French 
government must pay it, 
Bi.ack bass have got into the Connecticut 
River accidentally. Two ponds, with outlets 
lending to the river at. points widely apart, 
which had been stocked with black buss at pri¬ 
vate cost, were carried away by a flood some 
two years ago, and the fish swept into the Con¬ 
necticut. where they have quietly domesticated 
themselves. Last year they hatched a large 
quantity of young, and this year have re¬ 
appeared on their spawning ground. 
Minister Washbpuni: recently visited the 
Archbishop of Paris m prison and tendered 
his good ofliees in securing a modification of 
the rigors of bis confinement. Tim Archbishop 
occupied a cell about ten feet square, contain¬ 
ing a small Iron bedstead, a table, one wooden 
chair ami a small window; Die covering of the 
bed was a horse blanket. Three books on the 
tuble, for the holy man lo road, were Ihe " His¬ 
tory of the French Revolution." He expressed 
his thanks to Mr. Wnshburne in the most touch¬ 
ing manner for the visit he had so kindly made.
