THE PILLORY.
An English Writer's Reflections Upcn
Public Punishment.
Perhaps one of the few really demo
cratic institutions ever created was the
pillory. I do not say (hat it was a liu- ;
nunc institution, though it was cor- 1
tainly more humane than our system j
of silent Imprisonment. P.ut being hu- '
mane has nothing to do with being '
democratic. You may have humane ;
and inhumane democracies, just as
you may have humane and inhumane j
despots.
The point is that the pillory was a j
real appeal to the people. If it was j
cruel it was because the people wore j
cruel or perhaps justly indignant. The I
people threw dead cots (the less hu- j
manitariau, I believe, threw live cats). ;
but tliey could throw bouquets and ;
crowns of laurel if they lilted. Some- [
times they did. The argument about !
the old public punishments cuts both ;
ways. The publicity was an additional :
risk for the government rj: well as n;i i
additional risk for the |®f<oner, and 1
this is specially true of the executions
for treason. It was no small thing that |
half a million men might possibly treat ,
as n martyr a man whom the king was ;
treating as a murderer, that the prince |
iiad to concede to every obscure ruf- j
linn exactly what that ruffian probably '
wanted most—fame. —G. K. Chesterton j
in London News.
THE KANGAROO.
Its Hind Legs Are a Most Formidable I
Pair of Weapons.
The kangaroo seems poorly provid- !
ed by nature with offensive weap- 1
ons. Ills powers of biting are not |
formidable, and his fore paws are so j
weak as to seem almost rudimentary ;
members "112 little use. His hind legs j
are muscular and strong, but are an- :
parently of use only to assist flight ,
from his enemies. On those liind legs '
is found, however, a most formidable
weapon in the shape of a long claw it* j
hard as steel and sharp as a chisel—as
terrible to dogs as the scythe chariots |
of the ancients were to their enemies. 1
When run down the kangaroo, plac- !
ing a tree behind him to protect his |
rear, will seize in his fore paws such j
indiscreet dogs as rush up to him
and. holding them firmly, dlsembowl !
them with a sweep of his sickle-like i
claws.
Even the hunters themselves thus
caught in the viselike grip of an "old j
man" kangaroo of the larger breeds
have sometimes suffered in like man- j
ner and have now and then taken their
own turn at being hunted as the en- I
raged animals turned upon them and
attacked their horses with blind fe i
rocity.—St. James' Gazette.

drop in the rhubarb, a small portion ;
at a time, and cook until tender. Re
move from the sirup as soon as done

tected waters of Great Egg Harbor Bay. Absecon Bay, Lakes
Bay, Ludlam Bay, Great Sound, Grassy Sound, Cape May
Harbor and Sound and the many other inland waters, unrival

where the deep sea angler or thejthoroughfare fisherman may
indulge in his favorite sport till his heart is content.
If you love the salt sea air and the water sports which the
seashore provides, spend your vacation at one of the resorts of
southern New Jersey where accommodations can IK- had to fit

THE GREAT PHARAOH.
Horemhcb Did More Fcr Egypt, Par
haps, Than Any Other.
! Horeuiheb at the lime of Ids acces
sion was forty-five years of age, full
i of energy and vigor and passionately
anxious to have a free hand in the car
rying out of liis schemes for the reor
! ganization of tiie government. It was
| therefore with joy that in about the
year 1350 H. C. he sailed up to Thebes
! in order to claim the crown,
i Had he lived longer he might have
been famous as a conqueror as well as
I an administrator, though old age might j
retard and tired bones refuse their j
[ office. As it is, however, his name is
! written mirth ientiy large in the boo!;
: of the world's great men, and when in
[ died, about I3ir» H. 0., after a reign <•)
| some thirty-five years, he had done !
! more for Egypt than had almost m:y j
| other pharaoh. He found the country
i in the wildest disorder, and he left it
' the master of itself and ready to b
I come once mere the master of the en;
I plre which Akhnaton's doctrine <■. j
! peace and good will bad lost.
Uuder his direction the purged wo; - -j
i ship of the old gods, which for hiin
> meant only the maintenance of some
time proved customs, had gained the
1 mastery over the chimerical worshli |
| of Aton. Without force or violence lie I
! substituted the practical for the vision !
| ary, and to Amun and order his grate- I
ful subjects were able to cry, "Tlu
. sun of him who knew tliee nut lias vet. j

overwhelmed in darkness, but the

Clearing the Atmosphere.
1 In his capacity of dramatic critic
Mr. J. Comyns Carr, the author, wrote
a notice of the play of"Charles 1.," hi
which Irving played under the man
j ngement of Mr. Bateman. His produc
■ tiou deeply incensed the manager. In
; order perhaps to find the opportunity
! of informing the critic of his disap
proval, the manager Invited him to a
| supper at the Westminster club on the
second or third night of the -produc
! tion. When he thought the fitting mo
; ment had arrived Mr. Bateman led the
conversation to the point at issue and
emphatically banging the table with
his fist, declared in the loudest of
tones that he did not produce his play
: at the Lyceum theater to please Mr
Comyns Carr. There was a moment'!
awkward silence, which Mr. Carr con
fesses he did not feel quite able to
break, but which was released by a
wit of the company with the happy re
tort. "Well, dear boy, then you can't
be surprised if they don't please him."
An Earl's Duel With a Butler,
About the middle of the last century
| the Lord Rosebery of that time was ir
1 Taris, and in payinc a call oue day h'
was received so rudely by the butler
that he complained to his friend of the
| servant's conduct. But the liutler had
been a noncommissioned officer in the
French army, and as such he chal
lenged Lord Rosebery to a duel. The
earl accepted, and two shots were ex
; changed without result. Rut Lord
Rosebery was angered at his own con
descension and afraid his antagonist
might lay aside his military rank and
resume his duties as u servant, thus
I exposing an carl to the reproach of
having fought with a butler. So he i
settled an annuity of £250 on the mar
on condition he did not return to do
mestic service. The condition was i
faithfully observed on both sides,
UN AM RIFLE
FIND W ill
! Now thai the river iB falling very
j low and the water is becoming clear ;
! the channel now and then reveals an
j ob.iect t,f curiosity over and above the
, big basß that may b3 seen disporting
' iheniselves.
Tiiis statement is abundantly borne
out by the experience (if .Toe Siaitl. the
I south side barber, who while watch
ins the bass discovered au up-to-date
araiy ririe half bnriel in sand of the
j river bottom. Yesterday morning by
means of a grappling irou ha secured
! tiie ritie and it may bs seen at his
residence near the foot o* Pine street, j
Mr. Smith in his several trips made
i daily over the bridge fiuds agcod deal
of entertainment iu watching the bass
that at intervals pass through the wat
,er under the bridge. Oa luesday his
nttentiou was atiraued by a scarcely
j definable si.ape on the river bottom
| between tiie second and third piers on
J the Dauville side, which ssemed to
suggest a gun partly buried in the
! sand. He did not give tiie matter much .
thought nntil yesterday morning when
| lie fancied that he could trace, under
i six feet of water,the outlines of a gun
■ barrel and a portion of gthe leather
' strap, both being c 112 the sort that be
| long to the modern army ride.
He hurried back to the Danville side
. and procuring a boat rowed out to the
: spot, where be succeeded in fishing out
| the rifle.
i A plate on the gun has the follow
ing: " U. S. Springfield Armory Model
I 15.'03. No. 100788."
How long the rifle may have lain in
the water can not be ascertained, but
if is badly corroded with rust, both
inside and oatside the barrel, while
| the woodwork is swollen. The gun
was evidently a valuable one aud with
a little cost cau no doubt be fixed up
as Lood as new.
'I he ritie is believed to belong to a
member of the national guard of SJll
hury, who is sai 1 to have lost his gnn
while i-rossiug the river brill?* on the
way home after participating in the
demonstration here oa Memorial day.
It would be difficult to imagine how
the gun came to get into the river and
conlii probabh be best explained lv
i the guardsman himself.

RICH GRADUATE IN CALICO.
Niece Inaugurated Wealthy Man'c
Campaign For Plain Gowns.
Miss Harriet Walker, a wealthy
member of the younger set in Welling

night when she appeared for high
school graduation in a calico gown. !•

believe in women wearing elabornt
gowns, and more to satisfy him than
to win the .<•"■» i which Mr. Wells gav
i his niece she, at. his request, agreed t

"My object," said Mr. Wells, "is t.
begin a campaign for more sensibl"
gowns :it commencement exercise-
Too many poor people spend compai i
tively large sums on such gowns. If
every one could afford it the custou.
would be all right."

Three Kinds of Cigars.
What is a Havana cigar? George

j cignrinaking on' the spot, once set forth
: that three kinds of cigars come from

cigars composed lnsldo of flitted
States or European tobacco Imported
into Cuba, with an outside wrapper of
Havana leaf; third, cigars brought
ready made from Europe, mostly from
Bremen and Switzerland, and re-ex
ported from Havana to Europe, where
they pay duty and tire sold to the un

IN REAL LIFE 1
After absenting himself from hi*
wife and family for twenty-one years,
John Taggart, formerly Kev. John
Taggart, a preacher in trio Methodist
Protestant church,and a modern Enoch
I Arden, turned up at the home of liis
wife m Hemloc.. township, Colombia
county on Friday,only to find that she
had been married for many years to
another and that her second husband,
John Van Horu, was now in the coun
ty j ail, serving a sentence following
his conviction of a crime in which
Taggart's sou was the prosecutor and
which implicated Van Horn's own ]
I daugiiter. Now after a fe*v days in his
I old home has again left for
paits unknown, stating ruat the talk
occasioned by his return was too much
for him to stand.
Stranger than fi.tion is this story,
involving a one time prominent man
of the cloth, and those upon whom he
depended. It was back in the winter
jof 188 i and 3888 that Taggart, then an
'active clergyman of the Methodist
! Frotestant denomination, wedded Eliza
I Ivey,daughter of Mr. and Mrs. George
Ivey, formerly of Bloomsburg, To
j them iu iB£B there was born a son,and
j then the tongues of the gossips began
I to wag. with the result that Kev. Tag
agrt threw up his charge and left,
! ostensibly to find work From that day
! until Friday not a word was heard of
him. H.- wife heard a report that he
had been drowned in the .Johnstown
fioed and never hearing of him, con
cluded that he had there met his fate.
I Thrown upon her own resources, Mrs.
{ Tagagrt came to Bloomsburg and se
! cured employment as a domestic in the
home of C. W. Miller, Esq., and after
; living there for a time, became the

Glen Lyon where Van Horn wan em
ployed a'ound the coa! mines and two
years later moved down to Hemlock
township. By her marriage to Van
Horu two children were born,a daugii
ter of focrteeu summers who iignred
in the recent ase for which Van Horu

, of age.
It was wit i the fatuity affairs in
this condition with the husband and

Taggart said that tie left his wife
and baby to seek relief from troubles
that were burdening liim and breaking
him dowu. He lost control of himself
and when he finally came to himself
i : he found that his wife had agniu mar
ried and rather than stir up any trou
' ble he allowed the matter to remain as
it was and to keep his whereabouts
unknown. He would nor have return

jof the trouble hi- family have been
having and he felt it was his duty to
render them any assistan i in hip pow
er During all thoso years:, he -:ated.
he had no commuuic itiou with his
wife and she supposed him dead and
knew nothing to the contrary until he
walked into the house last Friday
When asked where lie had been all
these twenty-one years he replied that

ha:', been almost every where—north,
south, east and west even a- far a-
