^tumorous Department. His Real Name.?When Lord Randolph Churchill was last in America, he visited Philadelphia; and, while collecting statistics relating to State prisons of Pennsylvania, he was referred to the head of the State prison board, Cadwallader Biddle. Before calling upon Mr. Biddle, however, Lord Randolph fell into the hands of some wags of the Union League club. "You've got the name wrong," said one of the merry jesters; "it's not Cadwallader Biddle, but BWcallader Waddle." "Don't mind what he says Lord Randolph," exclaimed another; "the real name is Wadbillader Caddie." A third member took the ex-chancellor of the exchequer aside, and imparted to him in confidence that he was being gulled on all sides. imru-i n tlio "">>11111, llil'll, 19 liir uviuai iiuuik v> vnv prisons board chief?" anxiously asked the noblo lord. "The actual name," confided his false friend, "is Didbollader Widdle." And when Lord Randolph drove* to the prisons board that evening, he was so upset that he stammered: "Will you take this card into Mr. Bid? cad?wid?wad?did?dollader, what's his name??I mean the chief the board, but I forget his extraordinary nomenclature combination." "Long Tom's" Baptism.?Helen Gardner, the writer, tells this story of her early youth in Virginia : There had been a "protracted meeting" and a series of baptisms as the result. One of the candidates for a dip in the river was a huge Negro about 20 years old, who had been the terror of the neighborhood. The minister who wa3 performing the ceremony of baptism was a small man, and when "Long Tom" came wading out into the river he looked at him in uncertainty for a minute or two. But fiually, as if tackling a most unpleasant duty ; but still one he could by no means neglect, he reached up and seized the bulky convert by the "scruff of the neck" and dipped him gracefully into the water; but that was all. He could not bring him up again ; he lost his hold ; he stooped and tried to regain it, and soon they were both floundering in the river together. Finally they both got to their feet, and the Negro spluttered forth: "N-n-n-now jes' yo' 1-1-1-look ycr, Massa, s-s-s-somebody g-g-gwine to lose a b-b-b-blank fine Nigger some d-d-day ef yer d-d-d-don't quit d-d-d-dis yer foolin'!" Applying the Rule the Other Way.? A Chinaman, says The Christian Advocate, applied for the position of cook in a family in one of our Western cities. The lady of the house and most of the family were members of a fashionable church, and they were determined to look well after the character of the servants. So when John Chinaman appeared at the door he was asked : "Do you drink whisky ?" "No," said he, "I Clistian man." "Do you play cards?" "No, I Clistian man." He was employed and gave great satisfaction. He did his work well, was honest, upright, correct and respectful. After some weeks the lady gave a "progressive eucher" party and had wiues at the table. John Chinaman was called upon to serve the party, and did so with grace and acceptability. But uext morning he waited on the lady and said he wished to quit work ! "Why, what is the matter?" she inquired. John answered : "Clistian mau ; I told you so before; no heathen. No workee for Melican heathen. Tickled the Palate.?A bartender in the back room of a country store, in mixing a drink for a customer, accidentally poured in about two tablespoonfuls of turpentine. He discovered the mistake, but saying nothing about it, he filled the glass with whisky. The man drank the mixture, smacked his lips, and walked away. Pretty soon he returned and said : "Bill, haven't I alius been a good customer of yourn ?" "Yes." "An'alius tuck what you sot afore me without saying a word ?" "Yes." "Alius dun the best I could fer yer, Bill ?" "Uv co'se, Andy ; what the matter with you ?" "Wall, it's jisr this. Why haven't you been given me that good lieker all the time? Been er here drinkin' ever sense you started, and jis now is the furst time you've ever give up your best licker. Hand me out another drink like the one you give me jis' now, an' we'll call it souar." A Cheat Man.?Congressman John Allen, of Mississippi, is not the homeliest man in the house, nor yet is he the most handsome. Be that as it may, on one occasion he was stopping for dinner at the house of one of his constituents in. which there was a son and heir about 8 years old. He had been introduced to the statesman, and then took up his station at his mother's knee. "Now," she said to him, "if you are a good boy and study your lessons you may be a great man some day." "How great?" he inquired, boylike. "You may be a member of congress, ns Mr. Allen is." The boy looked Mr. Allen over carefully. "Well," he said, when he had finished his survey, "if they all look like that I reckon I ain't so particular about being too good." Ten minutes later he was chasing the cat up a tree with four hound pups, and the congressman wasn't doing anything to stop him. tST Bridget is an excellent cook, but like most women of her profession she is opinionated, and insists upon making all her dishes strictly according to her own receipts. Her mistress gives her very full swing, not only as to cooking, but as to the purchase of supplies. The other day her mistress said to her : "Bridget, the coffee you are giving us is very good. What kind is it ?" "It's no kind at all, mum," said Bridget. "It's a mixture." "How do you mix it?" "I make it one-quarter Mocha and one-quarter Java and onequarter Rio." "But that's only three-quarters. What do you put in for the other quarter?" "I put in no other quarter at all, mum. That's where so many sphiles the coffee, mum?by putting in a foorth quarter. B&F Mr. Jessop had a headache, and when he weut up stairs that evening with his little daughter, as was his custom, says the Worcestor Gazette, he concluded to take a dose of bromo-seltzer. Taking the bottle, he measured out two teaspoonfuls into a tumbler. Then he added the necessary water, and stirred the liquid vigorously. He tasted it as Mrs. Jessop entered the loom. "Hang the stufF! it wou't fizz," said he, and agaiu went to stirring the compound. Mrs. Jessop glanced at the bottle, smiled, and remarked, mildly, that she wouldn't expect much fizz from tooth powder. And Mr. Jessop thereupon looked up the right bottle.

THOUGHTLESS CONVERSATION. "Our busy tongues from evil stay." Is there anything more disagreeable than a babbling, thoughtless talking person, always annoying, but not always harmless? "In fact there is nothing makes me so much grieve Asthat abominable tittle, tattle Which is the cud eschewed by human cattle." Thoughtless speech, especially in small communities, is doing much to injure people, and places them in false positions. How unmercifully women arc slaughtered by the cruel criticism as often unfounded as it is cruel; and the one injured is powerless to help herself and must hear her wrongs in silence even though that silence condemns her. We have many people who will hear a remark and only know too well that it is innocent, yet they will retail it in such a manner that will cause hard feelings and inflict injuries that will last a me time, v/ne is uiten amazed at the conversation of well-informed and refined people who would revolt at the idea of being called a gossiper. If a woman dresses plain and does her own work, "she isa mean, stingy thing." Ifshe reforms, hires a girl and gives more attention to her dress, "she is an extravagant, vain being, who will soon hring her husband to ruin". When death and sorrow comes, if a woman is bowed down with her grief and remains at home, we will hear the remarks, "that is all put on," "she is not sincere," and "there is no use of her doing so." But if she should make her appearance in society sooner than they expected, poor woman, she is then considered "heartless" and every action is watched and criticised. As a rule, women are kind hearted, and when the test comes they will undergo any self-sacrifice to be of service to another, and it is a wonder why they I do not rise superior to the thoughtless, cruel conversation. Would they only remember that their own faults are standing out in "bold relief" which renders criticism of others ridiculous, and when we so dislike to be the subject of ill-natured remarks, why are we always so willing to ily at others; wej hurt them just as they would hurt us and i once more we find a place to apply the gold-! en rule. Our conversation may not be lofty i or eloquent; but it can be gentle and charit- j able without inalice, scandal or thoughtless speaking. Always considerate for the feelings of others and make no sweeping assertions that will injure our neighbors. A good cure for gossip is culture. A MODKh NORSK. A lady who was very particular about the habits and morals of her children engaged a nurse who came to her highly recommended. The girl proved a perfect success. The chil ?" ! (iren, who were noisy huh: uhw, wiumv quiet and obedient, and their mother marveled at the change. One day she noticed them lip-toeing about < the house, and calling the eldest one to her she asked her why they walked in that manner. "Nellie told us to, so we won't make any noise." "But how is it you remember so well what Nellie tells you ?"', "We're 'fraid of the trap doors," lisped a younger child. "Hush, Sissy ! She said we wasn't to tell." "Trap doors!" exclaimed the mother, curious to know ; "whatdid Nellie mean?" The child being commanded by her mother, reluctantly told. "She said there was lots and lots of trap doors?that she made them herself, an'if we run and jumped we'd fall through into a; great, deep dungeon, and nobody wouldn't i never lind us again." "So," said the mother, "this is Nellie's | method of keeping you quiet ? How did she j get you to sleep at night ?" "Bears," panted the youngest one; "big! bears that are under the bed, and will come ! out an' eat us all up if we don't go to sleep." | "That will do," said the mother as she went out to dismiss the imaginative Nellie. She is now trying to teach the children enough natural history to prove that bears do not live under beds, also that the trapdoors were only naughty make-believes, designed by (he cunning Nellie. Tiik Moral Value of Neatness.?One of the serious mistakes made by mothers in training their children is in supposing that careful habits can be cultivated in careless surroundings. A ragged or worn carpet, so little valued by the mother that grease or ink spots can be left on it without causing comment may become a moral calamity. Tying the child up in a bib and giving it ! the liberty to spill its food when eating, is re- j 1,. r,?. t<iLlrt lifiLii< in tliHim>n nnd i IUi IMIH lUW.v | women whom we meet. A child who is: made to eat its food carefully in a room where . the furnishings are respected, where a penalty will follow carelessness, naturally acquires careful, refined manners. Many a mother spends more time repairing damages? j the result of careless habits, due largely to the furnishings in the dining room?than she : would need to spend in setting a table care-1 fully and keeping the room in order, so that j its order and neatness commanded the re- j spect of the children. The ounce of preven-1 tion is worth several pounds of cure in the ! training of children, and it is a pity that the I ounce of prevention is not administered in j infinitesimal doses necessary in early child-' hood, rather than in radical (loses neeessa-j ry to overcome the neglect in matters that are never minor?for manners and habits: mark the man.

TID11ATMIDMT. : ^ A THRILLING SKETCH. The city of Yicksburg, Miss., lmd always f been remarkable, even before the Civil war pave her a profound national interest. Many 1 years ago she supplied the class of writers J1 who furnish the substratum for most of circulating libraries with plots dark and dreadful enough to satisfy even the present craving for sensation. The place had been noted " since its earliest settlement for the belligerent character of its inhabitants, and the number and the atrocity of the violent deeds ( which stained its streets with the blood of . human hearts. It is not our present purpose, however to j sketch any of these more celebrated brute battles, but merely select, for the sake of its ! mournful moral alone, a solitary tragedy which was briefly chronicled by the press of the day, and which then Tailed from the rcc- 1 election of all, save one from whom the wri- " lor received nil the storv in all its partic- * ularity. She, of course, could never forget-. L To the latest hour of her existence, the * wife of the murdered hero wept at the sad reminiscence. fl In the year, 1827, a young lawyer, John * Thomas, emigrated from Worcester, in ? Massachusetts, to the State of Mississippi. 1 He was poor, had recently married a hcauti- * fill, accomplished woman, who had renounced ( wealthy parents for his sake, and hence was " anxious to better his fortune in as little time as possible. This consideration determined the legal adventurer to locate at Vicksburg, j then considered through the West as the paradise of the bar. In a very short time the new lawyer had ample reasons to congratulate himself on the choice of his position. Ilis bland demeanor, j studious habits, and, more than all, his elo- . quence in debate, won him a patronage, and ^ lie rose, almost at a single bound, to the first place in his profession. He was employed in all the land suits, and in most of the still t more numerous and equally lucrative cases of homicide, so that in the period of two years ' after his advent he had cleared the round | sum of $30,000. Let no skeptical disciple of j Lord Coke deem this statement incredible. S. S. Prentiss realized, cash in hand, $40,000 \ by his opening speech in Vicksburg. During his career thus far joung Thomas f was remarkable in one respect. He never ! t went armed, and although in the fierce and J fiery altercations of the forum he necessarily j J made some enemies, no attack had hitherto been ventured on his person. The athleticism of his keen blue eyes had doubtless warn- e ed the desperadoes that "the Yankee ora- j tor," as he was generally termed, could hit as hard blows in the court-yard as he did in * the court itself. However this may be, two ^ years elapsed, years, too, of eminent success, before the peaceable attorney was even insulted. Alius! this halcyon period was doomed toa change alike sudden and terrible. There resided at the time in the town a no- ! torious duellist, by the name of Johnson, y whose matchless prowess inspired universal fear. He had slain half a dozen foes on the public "field of honor," and as many more in private and irregular encounters. All the members of the "bloody fancy club" spoke j of Mike Johnson's feats with rapturous en- j thusiasm. liut all good men, all lovers of s peace, when the "brave wretch" passed, j' turned pale and were silent. , At the Muy term of the district court, 1S29, the grand jury, mustering extraordinary | courage, returned a true bill against Johnson for the murder of William Lee, an inofl'en- , sivc youth, whom he had shot down in a drunken frolic, under circumstances of pecu- ' liar aggravation. Thomas was retained by a ( friend of the deceased to aid in the proseeution, and notwithstanding the earnest advice j of his well-wishers to the contrary, appear- j ed on the trial of the cause?otic of the most exciting ever argued at the bar of Yicksburg. } On the last evening of the session, after adjournment, Thomas rushed into the presence J of his wife, with looks of such evident agitntion as to till her soul with overpowered s grief. ; "My love, tell me, in the name of Heaven, * what has happened?" she cried, pale as a , corpse, and shaking like a leaf in the wind, j "Nothing," answered the husband, think- j ing to conceal the most fearful part of the intelligence. "Nothing, only the murderer, | Mike Johnson, after his acquittal, grossly in- j suited me in the court-yard, and I knocked him down." "And he challenged you to fight him with pistols!"* almost shrieked his wife, anticipating the rest with the quickness of n woman's ( common-sense. 1 "It is even so," replied the lawyer, mourn- < fully. t "Oh, say that you will not meet him ! Oh, f swear that you will not turn duellist in this 1 Sodom of the South !" implored the wife, J throwing her arms around his neck, and t sobbing like a child on his bosom. i "There, do not weep now. I will not turn ? duellist, dear Emma, although I much fear < that the consequences will he my ruin." < "God will protect you from that hold, had < man.'' j1 The next morning it was known in Vicks- s burg that "the Yankee orator" had been i challenged and refused to fight. According- < ly, he was generally denounced as a coward? ( a word which at that day might he consider- t ed as expressing far deeper scorn than either i robber or assassin. As he passed through t the streets he was astonished to witness the c coldness manifested by his old acquaintances, 1 and even professed friends, while the great t mass of people seemed to regard him with ? ineffable contempt. "Yankee white liver," ? "boaster," "poltroon," were the sounds most11 frequently rung in his ears, especially when U near the groceries, and there was one on J < every terrace of the broken hills. j i The matter grew still worse. About a 1 week afterwards Johnson met his victim in 1 the public square, presented a cocked pistol U at his heart with one hand, and belabored i 1 him unmercifully with a cowhide which he ! i grasped in the other. Resistance at the mo- I nient was altogether out of the question, for j I the slightest motion would have been the 11 signal for immediate death. He thought of ' Emma and her sweet babe and bore the cas- j ligation in silence. After this clients deserted his office, and I gentlemen refused to recognize him or return j1 his salute in the thorougfares of business or ' during his morning strolls over the hills. ' Had his touch been contagion or his breath s pestilence, he could not have been more 1 carefully shunned. Another week passed, and the degraded i1 lawyer was in a state of mind bordering on ' insanity, and yet all the while he concealed > the mental torture from his affectionate wife. 1 One evening, in a more than common bitter!' and gloomy mood, as he walked through < 1 1 lie public square, he was again accosted by j Mike Johnson, with his cocked pistol in one | 1 hand and uplifted cowhide in the other.! I The assault was the more aggravating ash the place was thronged with spectators. j t "Coward and villain!" exclaimed Jolm-h son, "did I not tell you that I would cow-j I hide you every week, until I whipped thejt courage of a man and a gentleman into your s Yankee hide?" t "I am no coward," retorted Thomas, in i a hollow tone, so unearthly fierce and wild : t that it caused every hearer to start. At the ? instant his lips were lived, and clinched between his teeth until the blood ran. His eyes In were red as a mad dog's, and the muscles of | < his face quivered; but his body and limbsjt seemed to have the rigidity of marble. i ' "lie will light now," rung in an eager,1 whisper through the excited crowd, as they 1 saw the terrible tokens of the fiend aroused? j1 the fiend which lurks, at different depths, in ( all human natures. "If you are not a coward, why will you j not light ?" asked the duellist, somewhat struck, in spite of his thorough desperation, hardened in the hot gore of a dozen murders. "I will light you if you wish it," was the loud, ringing answer. "Then you accept my challenge ?" "I do. Will any one present he so good as to act as my second?" inquired the lawyer, addressing the spectators. I For a minute or two no one spoke, so great was the dread of the arch-duellist, Mike Johnson. "Will no one in such a mass of generous men he my second?" repeated the lawyer, in a louder tone. "I will," said a shrill trumpet-like voice ' on the outskirts of the crowd, and a tall ] commanding form, with hravery written on j his hrow, and the eagle's eye heneath it i made his way to the centre of the scene of ( contention, and stood close fronting Johnson, with a smiling glance, before wliich the ( latter, for an instant, quailed. i The question "Who is he? Who is he?" imitated among the lookers-on. Bill no me could answer; no one had ever seen dm before, and yet everybody could have worn to his courage, so bold, yet tranquil res his bearing. "Who are you ?" inquired the duellist, re-I overing his presence of mind. "Astranger from Texas." "But who will vouch for your respecta ility ?" "I can give you vouchers sufficient," rcilied the stranger, frowning till his brow uoked frightful; and then stooping forward, ic whispered something in Johnson's ear, utdible to him alone. "I am satisfied," said the duellist, aloud, nd trembling perceptibly. "Colonel Moron, will you serve as my friend?" The individual last addressed gave his onsent. "Now let us adjourn to some private room oarrange the preliminaries," remarked the tranger; and the principals and seconds eft the crowd, then increasing every minitc, and excited nearly to madness by the i.w.t- / mviliiicr evenls of (he hour. 1111.rw viu?......n ? - The meeting took place the following light, in a dark room, with the door locked, ind the two seconds on the outside. The irineipals were placed in opposite corners if the apartment, which was 20 feet quale, and each was armed with a large lowie knife?110 more. It was midnight? i night without moon or stars. Black litchy clouds involved the sky, and a slight nist rendered the shadows of the earth more ntetise. Hence the room where the duel vas about to begin was wrapped in rayless larkness. The combatants could not even ice the blades of their own knives. At first they both stooped and steadily unied and took oil' their shoes, so as to make he least possible noise in walking over the loor. The same thought had struck both if them at the same time to mananivre for 1 he vantage-ground. Thomas moved in a circle, softly as a cat, iround the apartment, till he got within a exv feet of the corner where his enemy had icon placed, and then paused to listen. For our or five seconds he could hear nothing 11 the grave-like silence but the quick beats if his own busy heart. Presently, however, here crept into his car a scarcely audible ound, as of suppressed breathing, in the :orner of the room which he had previously eft; and then he knew that his foe was tryng the same stratagem. The ruse was reicated thrice, with a like result. At length, Thomas concluded to stand perfectly still md await Johnson's approach. Motionless low himself, and all ear, soon he could disinguish a soft rustling noise, like the drop)ing of fiakes of wool, circling around the loor and gradually advancing toward him. At last, when the sound appeared within ibout three feet of the lawyer's position, he inddenly made a bounding plunge with his cnife, aimed in the dark air, where he suplosed the bosom of his foe to be. His blade itruck against that of the other, and a few sparks of lire rolled at the fierce collision md fell expiring on the floor.J And then, for an instant, the seconds wilh>ut the door heard a sharp ringing of steel, 1 groan, a fall, and all again was silent as he tomb! The duel at midnight had ended, nil how ? They were appalled at the hor ible question. Waiting some minutes, and hearing nothing nore, Colonel Morton and the stranger premred a light, unlocked the door und cnter;d. The spectacle was most affecting. There ay the bloody corpse of the duellist Johnion. mauirled dreadfully, and above it stood lie erect and imposing form of the lawyer Thomas, unhurt, not a cut on his skin nor a ent in his clothing, hut weeping as if his leart were broken. He started hack as the (lashing light da staled his eyes, and growing pale as the dead it his feet, exclaimed, in accents ofimmea.su able anguish, "Oh, (Jod ! how shall I endure o meet my dear wife, with this murderous ;ore on my hand ! Such stain would delile he very gates of heaven, and blacken the loor of hell itself!" He did, however, afterwards meet Emma ind her babe; but we shall not attempt to mint the scene. A week subsequently he ,vas shot to pieces in bis own oiiice, while miployed in writing after night. The assassin was not known, but supposed to be a younger brother of the duellist Johnson. The stranger who acted in the combat is the second of Thomas was indeed, as ic said, from Texas, and then traveling hrough Mississippi, and was the bravest nan, perhaps, that ever drew the breath of ife?James Bowie, who fell only with the all of the Alamo, when his red knife was lrunk with the blood of the Mexicans.

Life is uncertain. Death is one of the few things that is absolutely certain. The continued possession of | property is uncertain, and the only means that! lias yet been devised whereby a person can pro- j vide with reasonable certainty for those who are dependent on him alter he is no longer present to look after their well fare, is insurance in a well managed life insurance company, society or association. The growth of the M I'TUAL UKSERVE has surpassed that of all other organi-1 zrtions of the kind in the history of life insurance, and it stands today without a peer. ITS PLAN IS THE CORRECT ONE. It furnishes (lilt Edge protection at less than half the cost charged by level premium companies. It has been doing this for nearly 11 years, and is more able to do it today than ever before. It is growing stronger and stronger everyday. Its new business for the first seven months of 1811-1 amounted to more than $4J,550,000, which is a gain over the same months of 1893, of $11,7411,000. It has already paid $1,770,000in death claims since January 1, 18114. Sound, practical, business men appreciate the Mutual Reserve. Kelow will be found a statement and an opinion of the association from Mr. George Ii. Riddle, of Xcno. Zkno, S. ('., June 20, lslu. To Whom it May t 'oncern: I have been informed that an agent of a cor-! tain old line life insurance company trying to do j business in this section, has been making an unwarranted use of my name in his elforts to { induce citizens of York county to buy his high 1 priced insurance instead of that furnished by the Mutual Reserve Fund Life Association, of New York, in which he knew I was carrying a policy, lie has made the statement, so I am reliably informed, that I had dropped my policy in the Mutual Reserve and taken one in his. The statement is without a shadow of foundation, as I never so much as thought of such a thing. I took my insurance in the Mutual lie-; serve because its rates were less than half those charged by the old line company in which I i l..wl tuili/.i' fin<1 vi'ltmli T ilnniDPil i (? , ... ,t, .. , and because I could n??t lind tho slightest evidence that the Mutiiiil Reserve was not entirely honorable, relialile and prompt in meeting its obligations, except the statement of old line agents, and that didn't amount to anything with me. I have every reason to believe that my insurance is of the best quality and expect to continue to carry it. I have had the policy nearly two years, and in that time have saved ?224 in premiums, notwithstanding the fact that I was j three years older when I insured in the Mutual! i Reserve than when my policy was issued in the i old line company. I make the foregoing stateI ments because 1 consider them due to the Mu- j ; tual Reserve, to Sam M. and L. (leo. (Irist, its agents, and to any who are likely to be inlluenced by the use of my name in the connection in which the too zealous old line agents have been using it. In conclusion, I will say that I unreservedly endorse the Mutual Reserve, and I am convinced that its insurance is the kind peo-: pie should have whether rich or poor?absolute protection at the lowest possible cost. <?.
