As a train on the Kansas Pacitic pulled away from the Seventeenth- street Depot a few mornings since, a tall, angular specimen of humanity took a seat opposite a lady passenger, and to all appearances was intently en-f;aged in studying her face. At first the any treated the rudeness with good-

natured indifference. But at last it be­gan to tell on her nerves. It was a pe­culiar and astonishing piece of imper­tinence. He apparently had the facul­ty of looking two ways at once. One of his eyes was restless, excited and roved in all directions. The other was tixed on her with a stony and undeviating stare. She turned her head away, but it intercepted her vision. She tried to hide behind a paper, but she felt that cruel eye piercing through the screen, and creeping with a stony look ail over her features. It seemed to bo picking them up one by one, and examining them with care. The thing became un­endurable, and she cried out to him fiercely: “ Sir, why do you look at me so persistently?”

“ Me, madam, why, bless my soul, I haven’t been looking at you.”

“ You have, sir—for a half hour or more your eye has been absolutely riv­eted upon my face."

“ I beg vour pardon, madam, but it’s this eye, is it not9” lifting his finger to his left optic.

“ Yes, sir, it’s that eye.”“ Well, madam, that eye won’t do you

any harm. It generally looks any way it pleases—it gives me a good deal of trouble. A great many complain of it. At first I thought they wero making fun of me, but I’ve found out different ly now. I’ve been knocked down two or three times for the impertinence of that eye. I would leave it out altogeth­er hut for the looks of the thing. I t ’s a glass eye, madam—only a glass eye. I hope you’ll excuse it. But, upon my soul, I’m not surprised that even a glass eye should feel interested in so pretty a woman,” and he brought his other eye to bear upon her in undis­guised admiration.

The lady laughingly accepted the ex­planation, and the rest of the journey was passed very pleasantly to both of them.—B o c k i/ M o u n t a in N e w s .

—At Atlanta, Ga., a few days ago, the police found a human body in an old soap factory, cut to pieces with a dissecting knife and in a horrible state of decay. Excitement was caused by a rumor that the body was that of an aristocratic lady who died a few days before.

—As Howard Holtzclaw, telegraph operator and railroad ticket agent at Warrenton Junction, Va., was return­ing home the other night from his office, he was waylaid, murdered and robbed of a watch, chain and money. His body was found next morning with a bullet-hole iu the forehead.

—A difficulty occurred atMorganton, N. C., the other day, between Dr. C. F. Cook and Charles DeKalb, two noted violinists, in discussing the merits of Wilhelmj’s performances. DeKalb in the altercation struck his companion on the head with a violin which lie had in his hand. At this insult Cook drew a revolver aud shot him dead. Both men are prominently connected, and- were intimate friends.

—A dreadful accident took place at- Valence (Drome), France, recently. An inhabitant of the town had given warning to the police that an attempt at robbery was to be made at his resi­dence, and some policeman concealed themselves in the house. When the man, who had gone out with his daugh­ter, returned home, the officers, mis­taking both in the dark for thieves, fired at them; the young girl was shot dead on the spot, aud her father was seriously wounded.

—A lad entered the city office yester­day and presented an order calling for the payment of twenty-five cents for his services in impounding a dog. The money was handed over, and then an officer asked whose dog it was. “ Mine,” said the boy. “ Yours!” ejaculated the astonished officer; “ why, what do you want to impound your own dog for?” “ ’Cause,” said the boy, “ ’cause, when dogs is twenty-live cents apiece I sells out every time. I’d rather have a quarter than a dog any time." — T o le d o ( O h i o ) C o m m e r c i a l .

—Two masked men entered the resi­dence of a German, named Claymer, near Clark City, Mo., the other night, and, finding only the women at home, demanded what money there was in the house. A diligent search failed to find any money, but the thieves took possession of a revolver belonging to Claymer and compelled the women to prepare supper, which they ate. Upon leaving the house they met Claymer re­turning home and demanded his money, which ne surrendered after being fired at. The men gave him his revolver, thanked him for his kinduess and left.

—A Boston romance, in which a hale and hearty man of fifty, and a slight, little woman a couple of years younger, figured, is reported. The two met on a rainy day, while hurrying with tilted umbrellas about their business, a col­lision followed, and the woman slipped to the sidewalk. In picking her up the man recognized her as an old flame. Thirty years before, when she was a Lowell factory girl, and lie a poor medical student at Harvard, they had loved each other. In 1849 he went to California and forgot the girl he loft behind him. He prospered in business, became rich, and married. Later his wife and children died, and in his lone­liness he remembered the Lowell fac­tory girl. A dream told him she was in distress. He hurried East to find her, but looked in vain till they acci­dentally met. She was a widow with two children, and in destitute circum­stances, but that is all over now.

An Irishman remarked to his com­panion, on observing a lady pass: “ Pat, did you ever see so thin a woman as that before?” “ Thin!” replied the other. “ Botherashen! I seen a woman as thin as two of her put together, so 1 have.”

Is Pork Wholesome!

We find a question raised as to the wholeeomeuess of pork, some parties declaiming against it as an article of food, etc. What a piece of folly it is at this late day to raise such an issue! Pork-eaten, comprised of about nine- tenths of the civilized population of the world, will scout at suoh nonsense. For all persons of active habits pork is just as wholesome as anything else and far more sustaining. It is true that if too much of it is eaten at a time—in other words, if people will make “hogs’* of themselves—they will have to suffer for it as an over-mess of other “ fodder.” To discard pork, would be to discard one of the main items going into our “ vital statistics.” What would become of the army and navy, of our merchant marine, of, in a word, the great moss of our population, if 7tork were to be thrown oyerboard? The idea is supremely absurd—the f a c t would be just cause for a s u m p t u a r y revolution. No! goon, ye p o r k - e a t e r s , among whom we n u m b e r o u r s e lv e s , with a craving stomach, boil or broil your hams, pickle your sides, cabbage and crout your chines, souse your pigs’ feet, and enjoy yourselves upon swine’s meat to your heart’s and pocket’s con-

the time required for tfflelent aid lo arrive, so the result of catarrh greatly depends upon the speedy use of efficient remedies. For over a quarter of a ceutury, Dr. Bage’s Catarrh Rem­edy baa been the standard remedy. The pos­itive cures It has effected are numbered by thousands. Each year has witnessed an In­creased sale. Its refutation Is the result of superior merit. If the disease ba6 extended to the throat or lungs, Dr. Pierce’® Golden Medical Discovery should be used with the Catarrh Remedy.
