Vhe Egyptian liave the credit of being
the first inventors of beer; they called It
the Feluslan liquor, because it waa first
made in Felusium, a oity near the mouth of
the Nile, about twelve hundred years be.
fore the Christian era. The porter, for
which London has become so distinguished,
was first introduced about the year 1750.
Previous to that time, the malt liquors in
general use were ate, beer, aud two-penny i
or else a pint, or tankard, of three-threads,
meaning a third of ale, beer, and two
peuiiy; Then the publican was obliged to
draw from three casks to serve one cus.
tomer. .To avoid this trouble and waste, a
brewer, whose name was Harwood, con
ceived an idea of making a liquor which
should partnke of the united flavors of ale,
beer and two-penny j this he called entire,
or entire butt beer, meaning that it was
drawn entirely from one cask, or butt. It
was soon discovered to be . a very hearty
nourishing liquor, suitable for porters and
other workiug people, whence it obtained
the name of porter.

Georgia has a country girl, daughter of
a "moonshiner" in the mountains, who,
when her father was arrested recently by
the deputy marshals, clipped out of the
back door, dressed only in the garment in
which the had been Bleeping, and made
for the mountain side with the fleetness ol
a young antelope. Bhe carried in hei
right hand a foxliorn, and fled through
the night like an pparition. Bhe, trip,

bare feet, soon reached (he top of the hill.
Once there, tdie turned, and, like a Rod

bugle born. It was "well nigh worth a
thousand men," for, as the eohoes of the
horn died away in the valleys of the night
armed men gathered silently but swiftly
to the call of the lightly-clad but stout
hearted bugler. They surrounded the
deputy marshals and compelled them to

AN IIXJUHY CVUIiS INSANITY.
A singular case of recovery from insanity
through an injury occurred recently in tha
New York Homceopathio Stato Asylum for
the Insane. A male patient twenty-four
years old, when iu a state of violent irrita
tion, sprang up to the gas fixture, caught
hold of a slender tubing, and swung him.
Keif with considerable force. The fixture
gave way and the patient fell, striking his
hed on tho stone pavement. Instantly he
arose, walked out of the ward aud gave a
clear account of the accident he had met
with. He had, in fact, recovered his mind,
though he suffered greatly from the exter
nal injuries to bis scalp. This case is not
alone of its kind. Some physicians have
tried to raise the question of the application
of sudden aud violent shaking of the head
to the treatment f insanity ; but, as the
question of the , dose is one of great diffl.
oulty, this heroic method remains optional
with the patientB themselves.

to tear in a hurry to get at its contents.

A Disappointed Bridegroom.
AIUUDAL couple from one of our
neighboring towns, recently mar
ried, went to the thriving city of Kprlng
fleld, Ohio, on their bridal tour, They
arrived at the Lagomla House, in that
place, about 9 o'clock in the evening.
The bride waited in the Indies' reception
room while her liege lord went to the of
fice to register his name and for the
first time to write with it "and wife."
The polite clerk was notified of the fact
that he was a fresh and newly-married
man, and the bridal chamber waa ac
cordingly assigned them. The groom re
tired from the office accompanied by a
Bervant, and with his bonnle bride retir
ed to the bridal roero. In about half an
hour the agreeable clerk of the 'Logonda'
was surprised to eee the groom walking
Into the office and still more surprised to
Bee that he deliberately walked to an
easy chair In a dark corner, with a dis
appointed but a determined sort of an
Blr. The clerk waited for some minutes,
all the time wondering If there could so
soon have been a family row. He
watched the young husband closely en
deavoring to discover by his actions the
cause of him so soon and suddenly retir
ing from the chamber which contained
his fair young bride. But his watching
was in vain. There eat the groom In
the shadow of a pillar, quiet and calm.
Finally the clerk's curiosity became bo
great that he determined to Interview
the young man about the matter. Ap
proaching In a respectful manner he
said : .
" My friend, pardon me, but I don't
understand why you have so soon left
the bridal chamber. Has anything seri
ous happened V
'iOh, no," said the young fellow;
" Jennie Is an awful modest girl, and
she said she couldn't retire as long as I
was in the room. I told her that she
would have to get used to it sooner or
later, and that Bhe might as well com
mence the first night. But she said
no,' and pleaded so hard and with
such love looks that I couldn't re
fuse her, and at her own request left the
room and came down here."
" Well what are you going to do
said the curious clerk. " You don't pro
pose to sit here all night, do you V"
"Noslieel You bet I don't. Jennie
promised that as Boon as she got un
dressed she would turn the gas low aud
then ring the bell. As soon as I heard
it I was to go to my room. I will sit
here, and If you will please tell me when
the bell to my room rings I will be much
obliged, and I will go up." '
" All right," suld the amused clerk ;
" when your bell rings I will tell you."
Time rolled on and an hour passed.
The young fellow anxiously came to the
desk and inquired over and over again
"If his bell liudn't rung," and when
the auswer came, " No Blr 1" he looked
troubled and anxious. Finally he set
tled himself lu an easy chair, and Boon
the clerk heard his sonorous snores.
The night passed and daylight came but
the bell of the bridal chamber had not
so much as tinkled once all night. At
0 o'clock the daylight clerk came on
duty, and the groom who had been
sleeping soundly was awakened. He
rubbed his eyes yawned and stretched
himself, and in a confused manner, ex
claimed :
' Where am Ii"'
Then recollecting the condition of af
fairs he angrily said :
" Look here, Mr. Clerk, why in the
devil didn't you waken me up when
that 'ar bell rang V" ,
" Well sir, it didn't ring."
"Didn't ling V"
"No sir."
"Not once?"
"No sir, not once."
"What? not once durlmt the whole
night?"
"No."
" Well, that is dam strange. By
gosh, I don't understand this business.
I'll go to the room and see Jennie, and
find out what in the devil she meant by
keeping me down here all night," and
off he started.
At 12 o'clock be entered the dining
room with the bright-eyed Jennie on
his arm, and they eat down to dinner.
After the repast Jennie went to her
room, and her handsome and now hap
py husband repaired to the office " to
explain things to the clerk."
"Look here," he said, in a confiden
tial tone, "don't say anything about this
to any one, for Jennie feels awful bad
about It; but the truth is, she went to
turn the gas down low and turned it
out. This frightened her bo that she
jumped Into bed and pulled the covers
over her bead, and waa afraid to get up
again to ring the bell ; aud besides, she
didn't know where the bell was. Poor
girl she nearly cried ber eyes out about
it. I didn't like it very much at first,
but then she felt so awfully sorry, and
was bo sweet and nice, and made it all
right, you know ; bo I don't blame her.
She Bald I needn't leave the room to
night, and I don't propose to either, you
bet."
Home Entertainment.
TOHN, will you go over to the storo
U with me to-night and heur old Hill
White tell some yarns y"
"You must excuse me, Sam, but t
would rather stay at home evenings."
"Btayat homeV Why, I think the
evenings are the lonrsomest part of the
day. Father always takes a .newspaper
and sits and rends until he Is ready to go
to bed, and hardly ever speaks a word
unless he tells Johnny and me to shut
up and not make so much noise; Just
because we try to have a little fun,
while mother Bits and darusstocklngs.or
mends, and looks about as sour as father
does. If I try to study or read, and
tuov near to the light, she snys : ".There
Is no room for you there." Unless I
have a good light I do not care much
about reading."
"Well, 8am, I will tell you what to
do. You come over to my house, to
night, lnsteud of going to the store, and
lam sure that you will have a nice
time. Won't you comei"'
" Yes, I'll come, Just to see what makes
you think it so pleasant at home."
Promptly at seven o'clock Bam was on
hand, and as John's mother told him to
sit down, and pushed a low, cushioned
chair towards him, he thought to him
self that It looked real cozy iu there. The
square table drawn out Into the middle
of the floor so that all might Kit around
it if they wished ; the large lamp that
gave such a bright light that even the
old rag carpet that Mrs. Forest was afraid
would not last through the winter, look
ed better to Bam than did the new car
pet that his mother bad Just put down.
The fire, too, ceemed t3 burn better than
it did over in Barn's house ; how it did
snap and burn.
"That is a sign of cold, father," Bald
Mrs. Forrest, "when the fire snaps like
that," at which they all laughed at
mother's still clinging to the old signs.
"Come, John, where Is the book'r"'
asked bis father. John brought the
book, and then Mr. Forrest explained to
Bam what he had been reading, and af
ter they were all seated, mother with
her knitting, Dora with her canvas and
zephyrs, while John got out his crochet
woik; even if he was a boy of sixteen
years old, he knew bow to knit and cro
chet, and he was not ashamed of it,
either.
Then Mr. Forrest proceeded to read
how Mr. Pickwick, with his friends,
went to visit Mr. Wardle, and when be
came to where they were skating, and
poor Mr. Pickwick fell into the pond,
Bam laughed until his face was so red
and his eyes bo full of tears, that It made
every one laugh to look at him.
At half-past nine o'clock the book waa
closed until another evening, and Bam,
after having promised to come again the
next evening, went home and went to
bed happier than he had been for a long
time. Aa he Jumped into bed, he said,
aloud, "I wish my father and mother
were like John's. It was a great deal
better than listening to Bill White ; he
swears so."
Fathers and mothers, make the long
winter evenings pleasant aud happy for
the boys and girls. Let thein have
plenty of light, and get the good books
to read, and If they are a little noisy,
let it pass, and remember that those
same noisy boys and girls will soon be
men and women, and when they go
forth from the old home, they will take
with them the remembrance of happy
evenings when they were all together.
There are too many homes like Bam'a
and too few like the one I have been
telling about. Exchange.
A Pointed Lecture.
A GENERATION ago there lived in a
Western city a wealthy English gen
tleman, who was what is called "a high
liver." He drank bis toddy In the
morning, washed down bis lunch with
champagne, and finished a bottle of
port lor dinner, just as he had done in
England, though he complained that
heavy wine disagreed with him here,
owing to the climate.
He died of gout at GO, leaving four
Bona. One of them waa an epiletio ; two
died from drinking. "Good fellows,"
generous, witty, honorable young men,
but before middle age miserable sots.
The oldest of the brothers was a man
of fixed habits, occupying a leading
place in the community from his keen
Intelligence, integrity and irreproacha
ble morals. He watched over his broth
ers, laid them in their graves, aud nev
er ceased to deuounce the vice that bad
ruined them.
When he waa passed middle age, fi
nancial trouble brought him Into a low
nervous coudltlon for which wine was
prescribed. He drank but oue bottle.
Shortly afterward his affairs were right,
and bis health and spirits returned.
But after this time it was observed that
once or twice a year, he mysteriously
disappeared for a mouth or six weeks.
Neither his partner, wife or children
knew where be weut. He continued to
occupy the foremost position of trust In
hU native town ; but, at last, when he
waa an old grey-headed man, bis wife
was telegraphed from an obscure neigh
boring village, where she found hlm-dy.
lug of mania a potu. He had been ln
the habit of hiding there when the de
sire for liquor became maddening, anrl
when there he dratrk like it brute.
It la arecognl.ed physiological fact that
in many families dypHomaniu Is heredi
tary , as consumption Is in others. The
children of "moderate drinkers" almost
Invariable receive from them this heri
tage of ruin.. For them total abstinence
is the only safety. They Bhould avoid
stimulants as the consumptive does the
cold, or the scorbutic patient the heel
ing food, which are ceituln death to
them. ;
Isn't the above story a pointed tem
perance lecture to every diluker?

How Man and Wife met After Twenty Year
Separation.
ONE of those strange episodes in hu
man life which makes us sometimes
wonder at " the eternal fitness of things"
occurred last night at the Valb jo junc
tion. The tide being low on the arrival
of the Contra Costa, passengers for Val
lejo were compelled to make quite a de
scent from the wharf to the boat, and.
the ladies required the aid of the gentle
men present. A Mr. G., a grain specu
lator was doing the ageeable iu this re
spect, and one of the last ladles to de
scend was overburdened with a few
bundles, which he took charge of, and.
accompanied the lady to the cabin,
where they sat and engaged in conver
sation. The subject finally touched up
on the nativity of each, when It was
found that they were both from the
same town In Kentucky. The fact then
made each other more communicative,
when he enquired her name, which want
given aa Mrs. G. Immediately the mart
grew pale and excited and asked :
" You had a duughter had you not?"
" I did," she responded. " Pray how
did you know that ?"
" Is that daughter living ?"
" Bhe Is, and at present on a visit to a
frlend at Vallejo, where I am now go
ing." " Merciful heavens !" he gasped. "My
child I"
"Blr, what do you mean V said the
lady rising.
" Mean V" be excitedly replied. " Mean,
why I mean that that daughter i my
own child, and you are my wife!"
Almost overpowered at this confession
she plied him with questions and to
every one he returned a correct answer,
when she was convinced that the man
was. really ber husband, from whom sho
had been separated twenty years. It
seems that the twain were married at
Paris, Ky., in 185S, and in thirteen
months afterwards he went to Liverpool
on business. The vessel on which bo
took passage was wrecked and all ou
board were supposed to have perished.
The news coming lo the young wife's
ears she was utterly prostrated and was
ordered to California by her physician.
Arriving here she took up her residence
In Los Angeles. The husband waa res
cued from the wreck by a fishing vessel
and taken to some remote foreign port,
where he was thrown upon a bed of
sickness, which lasted some- fifteen
months. In the mean time he bad writ
ten repeatedly to bis wife, but received
no answer.
In his despair he concluded to risk a
journey across the Atlantio. Feeble a
be was he shipped before the mast on a
sailing vessel, and In due time arrived
In New York. From there he wrote
three times to his wife, but received no
answer. Almost frenzied at the thought
that she might be dead, and being with
out funds, be " faced" his fare to Ken
tucky,and shortly after arri ved In Paris.
Inquiries throughout the town assured
him that his wife bad disappeared a year
or so before, no one knew whither.
Borne said she had gone in search of her
husband, others that ohe might be dead
and others that she bad gone to Califor
nia. He sought the old family physi
cian, but he had left the town some time
before. Mr. G. then went to work as'
Louisville and made enough to bring;
him to California a year after his arrival
In Kentucky. He searched everywhere
for his absent wife, but without success
and finally gave her up as dead, and she
also bad mourned for his death. Neither
however, had married again, and last
evening on board the Contra Costa was
the first intimation either bad that the
other was In existence.
The now happy couple arrived here
last night, and to the surprise of the
friends of the lady she introduced her
husband, from whom she bad been.
separated twenty years. But imagine
his unutterable surprise and joy whe:
the mother led into the parlor a beauti
ful young lady, his own daughter,
whom he bad not seen since she was a
babe. Father,motber and child will leave
to-morrow for Ban Francisco, where Mr.
G. who Is now a comparatively wealthy
man, has his buines-.- ami where they
will liereafter reside. Vallrjn Chro7Mc,
