Holtzclow, who iias just fieen sent to the Arkansas peni tentiary for five years on a charge of for gery, was conducting a revival when ar rested, and, indeed, was in the act of im mersing converts in a stream near his church. At tiic trial he pleaded guilty, because an Illinois sheriff was in the room with a warrant for his arrest for bigamy. The Washington Post quotes the com missioner of Indian afTairs as insisting that Geronimo must be put to death. “The president,” he says, “will probably acquiesce in whatever proposition Gen. Miles makes for disjiosing of the mur derer. 11 is proposition will doubtless he a court martial, which will not fail to award a death sentence. There is no doubt that the public sentiment of the country demands the death of Geronimo." A likeness of Geronimo in a western newspaper is stated to be a copy of a photograph of a member of the Cincin nati Commercial-Gazette staff, with a few feathers stuck in the hair. After all there are many features in common be tween the western newspaper man and the Apache Indian. Both will slaughter, both will steal and both are credited with a hankering after firewater. In the canton of Zurich in Switzerland there is a law which requires the pro prietors of lanrj to catch two quarts of cockchafers every third year, when they are supposed to appear. If any proprie tor fails to respond he is fined quite heavily. It was officially announced thnt 1880 was the cockchafer year. The proprietor.- are in despair, for the cock chafers have not put in an appearance, but the law is imperative. Chahi.bxton ha- her quota of mean men. A rich alderman, whose palatial home had just been completed at a cost of between $100,000 and $200,000, and es caped without serious damage, has ids horses in tents, while his poor neighbors are shivering on the outside. One of the wealthiest men in the city, who hits lost about jwO.OOO of his $1,000,000, has raised the rent oil all his buildings 25 per cent. ___________ Tumo; is no ambiguity about the fol lowing, which appeared as an advertise ment in a western exchange : "My wife Jennie ran away, or was taken away from me a week ago. The person who returns her I will shoot on the spot." There is a matter of fact sort of a vein in that man’s composition. He is evi dently not hankering after human ghore, for lie proceeds to give everybody fair warning. He knows, too, when he is in luck, ami don’t intend that his good for tune shall be spoiled by any after awk wardness or unappreciated generosity on the part of anybody. The man who saw the sea serpent in the Hudson river, and which the papers have had so much to say about, has had three separate attacks of the same dis ease since, ami is now lying at the point of death in the hospital. It is now get ting so that every time a man has the delirium tremens, and sees an extra large snake, especially if he huppens to bo taken while in the vicinity of a body of water, the newspapers immediately turn back to their old files, and after hunting up a sea serpent yaru, change the dates and the names of the place and publish it. The day is coming when it will be a penitentiary offense to publish the old- time yarn. THE IM’Ll'KJCK OK POOD. As strikingly illustrative of the correct ness of the saying that “everything grows by what it feeds nn,” and as show ing also how the physical nature and texture of every creature is influenced by tlie character and quality of the food of which they partake, we quote a sentence from the reports on Fulton market, as follows: "Tbe superior Uavor of Welch or Highland mutton is beyond all doubt due to the aBmatic plants which abound on the pasturage of these hilla and on which the sheep feed. The hills In Wales are thickly covered with wild thyme.while th Me In the Highland* are flio Ol lady's mantle and other or imatfc herb* which are seldom, if ever, found in other pastures." It is common to speak of food as being assimilated by the pr.x-es- of digestion and converted intoanimal -uhstumes, hut it appears from the above quotation that the assimilation is not altogether in one direction, but is rather mutual. So that food, not simply nourishes, but goes fur ther and stamps its quality into the very blood and hones and flesh of the living creature who partakes of it. In certain grazing grounds in Missis sippi there is a hitter weed, upon which if cattle fattened for slaughter feeds the beef will he so hitter that none hut an exceedingly hungry man can eat, and he to his sorrow, as it has all the hitter taste of quinine before it is digested. It not only ha- this effect ii|>on the milk, as has I often been observed in this city, hut also the meat, and while the weed serves only as so much green food for the beast, its flesh becomes assimilated to the nature and quality of that food. Now man is a dual being, having a mind as well as a body, and while his laxly is possessed of a digestive labora tory, so the mind also is endowed with digestive capabilities peculiar to its ethe- rial nature. And aa it is true of the body, that it grows, and becomes assimilated to things upon which it feeds, so the mind is goserned by the same law. If man’s body is fed upon that which is hitter it will partake of that bitterness; if the mind of man feeds upon that which is low, filthy and groveling, it will be come of like quality. It has been remarked that when hus band and wife have for a long period dwelt together in unanimity of thoughts and aims they become in all things the tlie exact counterparts of each other. It has been observed that Great Britain in sending governors out to her numerous provinces, and especially into India, haH sometimes placed in these trying and im portant places men of mediocre ability; hut after handling for a long series of years great questions of state, the minds of these men of moderate mental calibre would grow and expand to a point of greatness. Many men who are not horn to greatness become great hy growth— great subjects having been their mental pahul^n. A man horn to greatness may become a mental pigmy, or finally an imbecile, from the lack of strength and nourishment in tlie food which tie pro vides for his mental digestion. PREACHERS’ SONS. A Bible peddler struck Vigo, Indiana, the other day and called upon the son of a Methodist min ister, whom ho found without a Bible in his house. The |>eddler tried his best to soil him one, ami the result was that he got fired out bodily. That peddler was evidently new in the business, and iiad never called on a minister’s son beiore. After he has traveled a few years he will shun tbe house of a minister's son as be would the latter end of a mule. As a general thing the son ofa minister has so much religion pounded into him when he is yonug that the sight of a Bible has a tendency to make him tired, hence the absence of the good book in the house.—Exchange. The man who wrote the above is a bar barian, and ten to one he doesn’t know enough about preachers’ sons or I he Bible,or anything else that’s good, to tell the difference between the Songs of Solo mon and an Italian opera. We can al most see the old dime museum freak as lie sits with his chin on his hands, pon dering alternately on how to slander preachers’ sons and how to beat his gro cer out of another ham. Of course the peddler was new in the business, and of course he got fired out. Any peddler who knows enough to count the mile posts on the road ho travels knows, better than to try to sell a preach er’s son a Bible. In the first place a preach er’s son generally knows the Bible pretty well hy heart, and the part he doesn’t know hy heart he is generally going to learn next year. It is probably true, as the peddler stated, that there was no Bible in the preacher’s son’s: house, but that only redounds to the voting man’s credit. He knows what a precious hook the Bible is; he knows how much his godless neighbors and the heathen need it; lie knows it would lie a waste to keep a Bible idle in the house of a preacher’s son, where it had already accomplished its grand mission, anil he wanted the peddler to take it on with him and place it where it would do the most good. Taking a Bibledo a preacher’s son! Why it’s carrying coals to New Castle; it is selling wool to a sheep, it is toting water to an ocbtiu. After that Indiana peddler is kicked out of a few more preachers’ sons’ houses—kicked until he eats his meals off a mantel piece as a matter of choice—he will begin to learn how to call not the righteous, but sinners to re pentance. And now in all seriousness, this ques tion of‘he depravity of preachers’ sons had just as well be settled for good and for all. It is a joke so old and so uni versal that ignorant people in certain dark cornel’s of tlie earth are beginning to believe that preachers’ sons really are worse than other people’s, ft is a well- known faet that the majority of the laity are awfully exercised over the salvation of preachers’ sons. We have known a layman to beseech a preacher’s son, aged twelve, with tears in his eyes, to turn from his evil way and reform from the frightful habit of bathing on the Sabbath, while the lachrymose old layman’s own son, aged twenty-five, was at that very moment en route to a Sabbath evening cock light, with a rooster under each arm and' a quart bottle of colic-cure in his pocket. Anybody except a preacher can tell you how to raise a preacher’s son. Judging from the size of the average minister’s salary, the laity and the world at large are trying to reform the preach er’s son* hy regulating the minister's sal ary. The idea seems to be that hy keep ing the preacher’s family an. conse quently the preacher’s son on half rations he can he weakened and starved into the ranks of the good—that is to say, brought to the throne of grace by influences which operate on the stomach instead of the heart. This is a very popular method, and was so com mon from the start that no one man or congregation can claim to have origi nated it. It is true that now and then a preacher’s son goes to destruction. But lie is vitiated and ruined hy contact with laymen and outsiders, while hi- fatheris trying to earn the half of his sal ary he gets and the other half that he doesn’t get, by saving the sons of lay men who are going to the devil “In the path their fathers trod.” As a rule preacher’s sons have the worst show and make the most of it of any hoys in tlie world. They are lx>rn with a bad name, hoi n under the upas shade of the lying aphorism about preacher's son.-, which follows them like Nemesis and * clings to them lik«_ the fabled shirt of Xessus. Their slightest peccadillo is proclaimed from the housetops, while the crimes of other men’s sons are “covered up’* by “influence.” .Some years ago a man col lected statistics and figured up an average on the morality of preachers’ and lay men’s sons. Figures do not lie. The figures showed that the moral character of preachers’ sons is twenty per cent, better than that of other people’s. There are millions of people who ought to quit tobacco longenough to put that little item in their pipes and smoke it. SOT A HIGH CHARGE EITHER. The following clipping from the Bos ton Beacon is both quaiift and exhilarat ing, expecially the last sentence. When Boston was Fanny KInibie’H home and her summers were spent here and there in rural Massachusetts, she engaged a worthy neighbor to be her charioteer during the season of her country sojourning. With kind-hearted loquac ity he was beginning to expatiate on the country, the crops, and the history of the people around about, when Fanny remarked, in her imperious, dogmatic fashion: “Sir, I have engaged you to drive for me, not to talk to me.” The farmer ceased, pursed up his lips, and ever after kept his peace. When the vacation weeks were over, and the dame was about to re turn to town, she sent for her Jehu and his bill. Running her eyes down its awkward columns she paused. “What is this item, sir?” said she. “I cannot understand It.” And with equal gravity he rejoined: “Sa ,: s, $5, I don’t often take it, but when I do I charge for it.” That man was right, only he ought to have charged her fifty dollars instead of five dollars. What right has a pretty woman to engage a man—and he a coun tryman,at that, and she a city girl, to hoot —to ride near her and then pompel him to he dumb ? When that countryman agreed to coach her about over the country, it Was in his mind as a part of the agreement that he would say as many pretty things to her as the cheerfulness and talk-provoking situation might suggest. And then to he compelled to ride in silence and not hear the music of her voice, and the merry, ringing laughter, which he. if allowed, could provoke, was hanassing. He was right not to take' such “sass” without charging for it; and who would not like to shake his manly, honest paw, after resenting the injury in such a delicate hut practical way ? A CARD.
