BRISTOL'S WESTERN MAIL.
I
What Came of Printing an Interesting
Item About Spinsters.
Communications have lately been j
| pouring in in extraordinary numbers j
! upon the two youths who act respec- j
I lively as postmaster and postmaster's I
I clerk at the postoffice in Bristol. These j
missives were from many lone bachelors j
I in the far west, desiring the postal offi- •
j cials to procure for them the names and ■
I addresses, and, if possible, without re- j
! gard to cost, the photographs of some
! of the many maidens of whom these j
j same bachelors understand the popula
i tion of the town is chiefly composed.
1 A story concerning the astounding j
j numbers of maidens of an uncertain age |
! who resided on a certain street and with- I
in the confines of one short square in :
Bristol had appeared in The Record, and |
j the cause of the influx was at once ax- !
plained. This article hud been circu-
I lated far and near, and bad been copied
from one paper to another until the fame
of that Bristol square was widespread.
Many a lone bachelor, sitting partner- 1
less by some western hearth, devoured
the lines eagerly until tlieir meaning so
grew upon him that he could stand it no
! longer, but poured forth his desires for
a wife to comfort that loneliness to the
Bristol postmaster.
The Bristol postoffice is a modest in
stitution, and was at first so embarrassed
by these appeals that it knew not what
I to do, but finally, reflecting upon the
I wretchedness of those lone western
| bachelors, its largo heart so overflowed
j with sympathy that it bethought itself
jof taking the matter in hand. Upon
j consideration it was decided to post the
letters in some place not conspicuous,
but where the searching eye of the Bris
tol spinster would perchance light upon
them.
For some time after the posting of
these letters the Bristol maidens had
much need of stamps, etc., and dropped
in at the postoffice for every mail. In
' the course of a few weeks there was
j such an increase in the western mail
coining to Bristol that an additional bag
l bad to be provided for its accommoda
tion. At mail time a continuous line of
j bashful spinsters from the street in
' question was observed entering with ex-
I pectant faces and issuing with either
; blushes or with sighs.
The residents of Bristol know not how
i to account for the presence of such in
numerable hosts of unmated maidens,
unless it be that the buildings on the
i street—in so many cases resembling,
! with their porticoes and friezes, the Tem
, pie of Diana—have inspired in the fe-
I male Bristol breast a desire to follow
1 the chaste goddess' example, but soon
evidently this condition of affairs may j
be ameliorated.—Philadelphia Record, j
Drowning Scnsiition*.
I have had some personal experience
' in the drowning or being drowned busi
ness. St. Paul was thrice wrecked; I
j was tlirice drowned. I want to record
' for the benefit of those who feel like
I making the experiment that death did
j not come to me as "the gentle friend,"
but rather as "the grisly terror." From |
such an experience heaven forofend me
: evermore.
; The events of my life most surely did
come up before me, like a swiftly mov
| ing panorama, with awful vividness and
I startling reality. I did not call them
' up; they came; they thronged; they op
j pressed; they overwhelmed me. I will
I carry the remembrance thereof to my
grave.
| I was never hanged, though perhaps I
■ should have been, but I was three times
"drowned"—once beneath the ice when
! skating, once in the ocean, so completely
that the first attempt at resuscitation
j was abandoned, when it occurred to
some persevering friend to try again,
! with the happy result that I am still a
living, breathing, sentient being.
! The terrors of death have to my mind
always been one of the great deterrents
of sin, and he that robs death of its
frown is plucking out one of tho sharp
est stings of sin. Besides, will not the
Suicide club delight to learn for certain
the "pleasant and painless" road to
death! 1 have long believed that virtue |
only can make the bed of death "soft as !
downy pinions are."—Cor. New York I
Sun.
"Tho Largest Organ in the World." j
"The largest organ in the world" has j
an unfortunate habit of spreading itself
; over a great surface. It is in Boston, in 1
j Harlem, in a dozen other European
cities, in Garden City, in Brooklyn, in |
j Chicago. Possibly we may have it some j
time in New York. The great Harlem
organ has sixty stops and 4,088 pipes, j
Fifteen of these stops and 1,098 of the,
pipes are in the echo organ. It takes so
I much strength to play this organ that 1
the organist is said to bo completely ex- |
haunted after a performance.
I The organ in the Brooklyn Tabernacle !
i lias no stops and 4,448 pipes. The organ
in the Chicago Auditorium has 109 speak- i
i ing stops and enough mechanical acces- I
sories and pedal movements to bring the i
number to 176, and 7,124 pipes, besides
j sixty-nine bells. The echo organ alone
has 8-12 pipes.—New York Times.
' i Buttons and Combs Made of Blood.
! There is a large factory at a small 1
I town near Chicago employing about 100
I to 150 workers, which is wholly given i
, over to the manufacture of useful arti
cles from waste animal blood. At cer- '
tain seasons of the year this unique fuc- !
tory uses from 10,000 to 15,000 gallons 1
of fresh blood per day. It is first con- 1
, verted into thin sheets by evaporation
and certain chemical processes, and aft
erward worked up into a variety of use-
I ful articles, such as combs, buttons, ear
rings, belt clasps, bracelets, etc. Tons
of these articles are * i nt to uU parts of
the world every year from this "bloody"
Sucker State manufactory.—St. Louis
Republic. '
PROF. VENO IS HERE.
An Account of the Wonderful Work He
Did at Nuuticoke.
i Last night, at Smoulter's hall, Veno,
the wonder-worker, created quite a sen
sation. The hall was crowded, and
many were unable to gain accommoda
, tion. About half past eight, an old man
named Smith, living at 29 Sealpingtown,
this city, who was severely crippled
from rheumatism and unable to work,
hobbled on the stage as best he could
with a stout cane in his hand for sup
port. This man has been treated by
seyeral doctors but failed to get a cure.
! Where physicians fail, Veno succeeds,
I for in about half an hour the old man
re-appeared on the platform without his
cane, jumping and leaping for joy at the
sudden change. The man showed him
i self free from pain and stillness, and
I walked home without his cane.
Michael l'tak, from Centre street, Ply
: mouth, also appeared on the stage to tell
I the people about the miraculous cure
that had been wrought on him by Veno. :
I He had been completely crippled for |
i three years, and for nine monthscould not
work or waik about. It is now three
weeks since Veno treated him and last !
' night he showed himself to be able to I
walk as free and as easy as any man. He
; felt much stronger and able to work.
He was unstinted in his praises of the
• man who brought him back to health
and strength after so many physicians j
; had failed. Before Venn's liniment and '
i medicine were applied to him he was not
able to raise his right arm or stoop to
put on his boots, but is now able to do
both as freely and easily as he ever did,
and has no further use for his crutches
since Veno's very first treatment.
Noah Davis, at present living near
Providence, but formerly of Nanticoke,
was cured by Veno of sciatic rheumatism
about six weeks ago and is now working
every day. Many others in the neigh
borhood have been cured. Some of the
cures seem almost impossible, hut facts
are hard to deny and seeing is believing.
Veno has certainly shown himself to be
one of the greatest healing, wonder
workers of the present age. He stays in
Nanticoke until Saturday.— Nanticoke
Daily News.
Prof. Veno will be at the Cottage hotel
hall, Freeland, during this week. His
first lecture will he given this evening,
and all are cordially invited to hear
him. Admission is free.
Found a Petrifled Standin M Forest.
F. B. Scliemerhorn, geologist, who re
cently discovered the great glaciers in
Idaho county, has found a fossil forest
in the center of Custer county. In the
same locality he has discovered the pet
rified hones of a now extinct raco of men
and animals, which will bo sent to Chi
cago.
The forest covers an area of four
square miles, and the condition of the
ground shows that at one time an enor
mous flow of clay, which worked in from
the northwest, buried the tree trunks to
a great depth. This clay has turned to
stone, and no one can ascertain its true
depth without going to great expense.
All the trees in this forest have their
j tops broken oft* and stand from ten to
forty feet above the ground, averaging
about twenty-eight to the acre. Scliem
erliorn took the exact measurement of
some of the trees, and found tlieni to
average twelve feet in diameter on top
and sixteen feet in diameter at the sur
face of the ground.
How far the trunk reached through
the clay stone to the soil he had no
means of ascertaining. A branch which
had become detached from a tree and
! was lying about sixteen feet from it was
I three feet in diameter. From the size !
of the trees and their branches Mr. i
I Schemerhorn thinks they are a species of
I redwood, such as is found in California,
and attributes their fossilization to the
i clay, which, bearing a large part of
j mineral, and presumably coining from
some volcano soon turned the living
trees into monuments of stone. —Idaho
| Cor. San Francisco Examiner.
A Cow Inside of Log.
| Owen Glancey, of Summit, missed a
I very vuluable cow last week and spent
i several days looking for her without
finding any trace of her whereabouts,
j and bad about concluded that she had
j been stolon when one of his children
discovered the animal not over fifty
I yards from the liouso. She hud wandered
into a hollow cedar log, presumably to
I get into the shade, and in pushing her
I way for fifty feet into the log she passed
| through a place where it had splintered
I in falling, with the splinters headed in
! the direction she was going.
Of course when she attempted to back
l out her exit was effectually blocked, the
; splinters having sprung back. And there
she was, as securely confined as any pris
| oner in the penitentiary. When discov-
I ored there she had been imprisoned for
five days.
1 Mr. Glancey had to cut the log in
1 front of her before she could be taken
j out, nothing the worse for her experi
j once except for her enforced fast. The
cow weighs about 1,500 pounds, so the
size of the cedar timber- in that "ndck
of the woods" can be imagined.—Ehnira
(N. Y.) Chronicle.
A Great lioon to London Mechanics.
Nearly 000 young men and women have
i applied for membership in the splendid
new Polytechnic in the Borough road.
| The big institution must prove the great
| est boon to the densely packed district
in the midst of which it stands. It does
( one's heart good in going over the build
, ing to see the way in which Mr. Edric
1 Bayley and Mr. Evan Spicer, L. C. C.,
and other south London philanthropists
I have combined the usual "poly" fea
! tures—gymnasium, swimming bath, lab
oratories, carpenters' shops, photograph
ic studies, and so on, with excellently
equipped rooms for laundry work and
plain sewing,
| At a small coat the men's and women's
j clubroonis have been given an exceed
, ingly refined and attractive appearance.
For a deposit, of five shillings, to cover
breakages, the young chemists are to be
provided with a bench and cupboard
full of requisites, which is wonderful in
its completeness. In every department,
in fact, the same thoroughness is appar
, ent. Even the music class rooms have
j double doors.—Pall Mall Gazette.
