tlLovE God , pay pew rent and mind

SIBERIAN cats arc the newest agony
in pets. A Siberian cat has a cold and
searching voice , and is a valuable addi

ADVICES from Washington are to the
effect that the administration offered
the late General 3IcClollan the post of
minister to "Russia , which he declined ,
and that on ihe day of his death Mr.
Cleveland had determined to appoint him
on the civil .service commission at a sal
ary of thirty-five hundred a year. The
general was spared that humiliation at
least. Journal.
IT is the opinion of the"receiver of the
firm of Grant & Ward and of the attor
neys 'who prosecuted and convicted
Ferdy , that Ward has concealed some
where from one to one and a half mil
lions of money stolen from General Grant
and other victims of his confidence game.
It has been developed from the books
that Ward never made an entry of the
money he got out of General Grant from
time to time on one and another pretext ,
but salted it down for his privy purse.

VEGETARIANISM has spread and is
spreading very rapidly in London. Ten
years ago it was difficult to find an avow
ed vegetarian , but now more than two
thousand persons refresh themselves at
vegetarian restaurants. Within the last
Few weeks two new places have been
opened , pledged to provide a vegetarian
dinner of three courses for thirteen
cunts a price which is , of course , a very
tempting one in the metropolis particu
larly and the number of dinners served
! as increased until now it has reached
about eight hundred daily.
IT is not gold or gods that makes a
man wealthy. The best wealth is of the
leart , enlightened mind , a loyal con
science and pure affections. He is
wealthiest who has the largest stock of
wisdom , virtue and love j whose heart
) eats with warm sympathy for his fel-
ow man ; who finds good in all seasons
ind all men. The generous man who
> ities the unfortunate poor man who or-
lers well his life , the loving man who
clings to his family and friends , the
tudious man who seeks instructions in
ill things , are the truly wealthy men.

THE women who look well in short
lair are few in number and hard to find.
? he average female skull is not , when
aid bare by the ruthless hand of thede-
troying barber , a thing of beauty nor a
oy forever. The average female face
ivine , when shorn of its background of
ilken tresses , looks too often like an
unripe and undeveloped carrot. The
ivcrage female ear will not bear up un-
er close inspection , although it may be
arge enough and vigorous enough to
trike out independently and fearlessly
from the head. Theface of a woman
loses its charm and becomes the mug of
an underdone boy. Chicago Mail.
SOME ladies and gentlemen of Pitts-
burg are organizing a society for the pro
tection of married women , the chief ob
ject being the creation and maintenance
of a fund for the prosecution of wife-
beaters. Such an organization with a
large membership roll would do good ,
indirectly as well as directly. The col
lection of a trifling admission fee from
each member and the designation of an
even smaller amount as dues would raise
money enough to pay for counsel in
many such cases , and the awakening of
public opinion on the subject that would
follow the announcement of the move
ment would tend to encourage the courts
to make the sentences of convicted wife-
beaters as severe as the law allows. It
might even result in the passage of a
law making the penalty severer.

Hemerty is a favorite with .so many people is

prompt and effectual cures of coughs , colds ,

it to any other. Sold by 31. A. Spalding and
