QUEER WHITE HOUSE VISITORS.
Oridltlra r I nenne Prr.pl who t'nll at the
Prrnldrntlnl .llaaalna.
Every now unl then nn item is pub
lished giving au nccouut of the autics of
nome crn&y porson who Amis his or her
wny to tho White hone. Not half the
calls of people of this dims nt the exeo
utive mansion rtro recorded. The visits
are almost the daily rule rather than
the exocption.
Among these is an old gentleman who
lives a short distance ont in the country,
near Bladensburg. Ue wears a large
Boft hat, Balt-and-pepper pants, and a
short black coat. Ilia eyes are blue and
mild, with nothing wild about them,
and his hair is gray. lie calls regnlarly
onoe in every two months. He comes
in the door solemnly. Being asked
what he wants, he replies, I havo
come to tnko my seat." He then tells
how he has been regnlarly elected
President and would have come to en
ter on his duties sooner, but work on
his farm prevented his leaving home.
The ushers talk to him seriously about
tho matter, and as a general thing he
Boon leaves perfectly satisfied.
A mau comes down hero from Penn
sylvania about five times a year. Die is
about thirty-five years old, and dresses
neatly and comfortably. lie demands
to see the President. The treasury and
the White house have been deeded to
him, ai d he wants the possession of
both. The last time he called he wore
a pair of bndly nsd up shoes, and got
slightly noisy. When put outside the
door he said : "I will submit this
time, as I do not wish to make Hayes
houseless; but the next time I come I
want no foolishness. I want him to
move out promptly. I hate to be so
harsh, but my shoes are wearing out,
and I must have my rights. Just tell
him how the case stands. "
A woman from Maine walked in one
day, in a dress like that of a Quaker.
She stalked 'into the east room and
spreading a large Bible which she car
ried nnder her arm on one of the win
dow seats announced her text and be
gan in a loud voice to hold forth on the
necessity of being born again.
A man from Ohio called a few weeks
ago. He had a theory that the world
was coming to an end in a few days, if
he was not made superintendent of the
naval fiservatory.iu view that he might,
by hiw'Knowledge of astronomy, avert
the impending collision of the earth
with all the planets, ne was promised
the position, and left satisfied.
A raw-boned fellow from Maine is
seen no more at the White house. He
used to be a regular visitor. He would
march in every morning, walk up to
one of the ushers, and hand him a let
ter. The letters were addreesed to R.
B. Hayes, from Ohio, President of the
United States, U. S. of Amerioa, West
ern Continent, White House, Distriot of
Columbia." These letters were always
opened, but were such scrawls that no
one could read them. This probably
suited the man exactly, as all he seamed
to want was to deliver the letters
promptly at nine every morning.
The goddess of liberty just stepped
down from the dome of the capitol," has
already been introduced to the readers
of the Star, She came back the other
week, and being refused admittance to
the President's room, threatened to
bring down her " reserves." These con
sisted, she said, of all the statues in the
old hall of representatives and that of
Columbus in the east front of the capi
tol, and of the group of the backwoods
man and Indian fighting.
A hard-looking male customer he
was about forty years old came in one
morning. "I am the man," he said in
a roar, who closed the rebellion. It is
a matter of necessity that I should see
the President." He was told that the
President did not receive visitors at the
White house. lie saw every one who
called at No. 414 Tenth street. This is
the number of the police station on
that street. The man went promptly to
No. -114 Tenth street and took a seat.
After sitting there a while the keeper
asked what he wanted. 'Oh The said,
" I have just called to see the Presi
dent." The keeper took in the situation
at a glance, and, saying, "step this
way," conducted the visitor into one of
the cells. As he turned the key in the
lx-.k Hie mau inside said : If the
President comes just show him right in,
will you?" " Certainly," said the keep
er, and went back to his desk Wash'

A Mule Kickgatauor Nitro-Gljccrinc.
There was a dinai-troufl and fatal ex
plosion of nitro glycerine and blasting
powder at Earlicgton, Ky., a mining
town fifty miles south of Evansville, one
night not long ago. The St. Bernard
coal company, in whose mines tho ex
plosion occurred, have of late begun to
use a small quantity of nitro-glycerine
with powder for blasting purposes. On
the night in question an old colored
man was ordered to carry some nitro
glycerine. He went to the magazine,
and, after getting a supply, left a can of
it sitting by the car-track till he could
deliver the charge. While gone a team
of empty cars came by, drawn by two
mules. One of the males kicked the
can of explosive matter, which instantly
exploded, blowing mules, cars and the
colored driver into atoms, and filling
the passage with debris and rubbish of
all kinds from the roof. Two seconds
later the blasting powder stored in the
adjoining room exploded with terrific
force. The shocks were distinctly felt
atMadisonville, Ky., three miles distant,
and were attributed to an earthquake.
The wildest confusion prevailed in Earl
ington, as it was supposed to be an ex
plosion of fire-damp, and there were
eighty men in the chambers beyond
reach. The whole city turned out, and
affrighted and weeping miners' wives,
mothers and children made a scene
whioh beggars description. The popu
lation gathered at the mouth of the pit
and made various attempts to enter, but
the volumes of smoke that rolled out
prevented, and for an hour the most
agonizing suspense prevailed. By that
time the miners began to emerge, as the
smoke decreased in volume, and the safe
ty of all was announced. Not one was
injured, though all sustained some ner
vous shock. The only deaths were those
of the driver and the mules.
From the debris of their coal mines
France makes annually 700,000 tons of
exoellent fuel, and Belgium 000,000
tons.

The remains of huge glaciers have
been discovered cn the east side of Wind
river peak, Wyoming Territory, and on

twelve in breadth.
Intemperance Among Women.
Dr. Stephen Smith, of New York,
who has given much thought to the
subject, says : Thoughtful medical
men frequently express mnch appre
hension at the prevailing tendency of
women, and especially yonng women,
ti indulge in the nse of alcoholic liquors.
The causes of intemperate habits among
the wealthier class are twofold : The.
first is social wine-drinking customs.
These exert an especially strong inKn
enoe npon young women. At the period
of budding womanhood the nervous sjs
t )m is peculiarly impresnible, and any
thing which produces a state of nervous
exaltation will, if repeated, readily be
come a fixed want. No one except a
physician can fully appreciate the bus
o sptibility of young ladies at the age
when they are conventionally intro
duced to fashionable society. There is
scarcely anything so liable to impress
the nervous system at this time as mild
but exhilarating wines. Confirmed
habits of drunkenness may now now be
formed, bnt nermanent imnrAsninm d
made which will never be lost, and
wmcn roo oiten revive at some later
period and make sad h
character and domestic linnninona a
sjcond exciting cause is the prescription
oi uiuuuouc Btimujants oy pnysicians.
Referenoe is not made to the scientific
uses of alcohol in medicine, but to the
reckless habit of recommending utimu-
ianis ior an me trifling ailments of
women. The physician, wearied xith
the importunities of patients, recom
mends wine or beer, brandy, or whisky,
a prescription easily made and gener-
uunijf uuwpueu wun.
The effects of intemperance upon the
constitution of women are of the most
decisive character. Intemperance tends
to shorten life more in woman than in
man. Competent authority gives the
average duration of life of the intem
perate, after drinking is formed, as fol
lows : Among mechanics, working and
laboiing men, eighteen years; among
tr.id ers, dealers and merchants, seven
teen yearp ; among professional men and
gnt) euien, fifteen years; among women,
fo irteen years.
The ills of women acoustomed to the
habitual use of alcoholic beverages are
innumerable. The effects of intem
perance upon the mental faculties of
women aro not lens disastrous than np
on the physical system. It very
rapidly brings her will power under
its subjection, and often before her
friends are aware that a habit has been
formed Bhe is already its helpless and
hopeless victim. She will resort to every
device to secure its indulgence. It de
stroys her purity of thongtt and makes
her indifferent to the good opinions of
others. The use of alcoholio beverages
by women is a growing evil which de
serves the most serious consideration.
The evil is not limited to the individual,
but perpetuates itself in her offspring,
and thus leads to the degeneracy of the
race. In England, where wine and beer
drinking is more common than in this
country, the voice of the medical pro
fession has been rained against it. The
reform must begin in the home and
social circles.
Iowa'g Walled Lake.
The greatest wonder in the State of
Iowa is what is called the "walled
lake," in Wright oounty, twelve miles
north of the Dubuque and Paciflo rail
way, and 150 miles west of Dubuque
city. The lake is from two to three feet
higher than the earth's surface. In
some places the wall is ten feet high,
fifteen feet wide at the bottom, and five
wide on top. Another fact is the size
of the stones used in construction, the
whole of them varying in weight from
three tons down to 100 pounds. There
is an abundance of stones in Wright
oounty, but surrounding the lake to the
extent of five or ten miles there are
none.
A French Taper's Joke,
A young and rich American lady,
with her three children, boarded one of
the Mississippi steamboats which have
the dangerous habit of enjoying a little
racing when a conple of them are
careering np or dowu the stream.
"Captain, I will make the tripwilh
yon ou one condition give me your
word that yon will not race.
" Madam, I pledge my word."
They 6tart After half an honr an
other steamer begins to overhaul the
first. The lady rushes frantically to
the captain.
" Captain, d'yesoe ? d'ye see?"
" leu, madam."
"And will you endure it? Will you
allow her to give yon the go by t No I
Impossible ! You will at least try."
"Heavens I madam," replied the cap
tain, coldly, "I don't race, but if I did
I have no more wood to pile on and show
her our heels, unless "
"Quick I quick 1 What is it?"
" Unless I burn one of your chil
dren." "Very well, captain," she cries,
straining over tho railing and looking
wildly at the advancing steamer ; " hur
ry up ! Burn the biggost I" Paris

There is now living in the province of

Buffer from it as many as three or four ti i en a
week. Tboy do so needlessly, for Hoatetter'g
Stomach Bitters, by toning the digestive or
gans and regulating the bowel and liver, re
moves the cause, and dispels the painful symp
tom. The intimate sympathy between the
brain and the abdominal region cansos the
slightest disorder to be reflected, as it were,
in the organ of thought. The reform insti
tuted by the Bitters when the digestive, secre
tive and evacuative functions are in a state of
chaos, has other and more benefloial results,
viz.: the complete nutrition of the whole phy
sical eoonomy, the restoration of appetite and
repose, and an increase in the power of the
system to resist diseases of a malarial type.
