A reporter had reached the farmer the day before that AbsalomJimpsonweed had fished a pearl out of the Sugar river which be had sold for $400. "Who bought it?" asked Mrs. Timo- thy Hezekiah Jenkyns, who was skepti- cal. "I don't know," replied Timothy, "but the boys all say he sold it to a stranger for 8400 and he got it before he bad been hunting twenty minutes. Then Jimmy Jarvis found one that Le sold for 5125." se V cSs FOR SABBATH SCHOOL CHIL- DREN. BY GEO. STEWART, CLINTON.

McIntosh, at the Reserve, Regina, Northwest Territory, Canada, asking him to examine into the genuine- ness of an alleged divorce from his wife. Mr McIntosh stated that he had paid W. A. Reid, an attorney at De- troit, $200 for the document, and, de- siring to marry again, was anxious to know if it was genuine. Judge Reilly found no record of any such divorce having been granted and sent for the certified copy, which was plainly seen to have been forged. Inquiry for Reid then revealed the fact that he had left the city. The penalty for forging An official record is a .long term in State prison. Mr A. Seabrook, residitlg near Koni oka, reports that Thursday last a • thunder storm, which apparently was passing to the southward, suddenly vered and a tremendous downpour followed, accompanied by hail, which lasted three or four minutes. On going out after the storm had passed he found that of 50 acres of fall wheat on his farm , 'while little escaped serious injury from the hail, a large portion was nearly destroyed. Berore the storm the crop was a very even and promising one, but he thinks the yield will be reduced to about one-half. The bail stones were in many cases 1} in- ches in diameter, and an hour after- wards could be seen where thrown thickly together. Apparently the force of the storm was confined to a portion of his farm. At Milwaukee, Oregon, Daniel Harvey shot and killed his aged mother and then killed himself..

He has been superanuated nineteen years. For reasons of a private nature his wife and children do not live with him, but reside some- where in the United States. In Jan- uary 1889 he engaged a lady as house keeper, who, however, declined to keep house for him unless they were married He accordingly took her to Suspension Bridge, N.Y., where they were married. Immediately afterwards, he avers, they recognized the error that they had com- mitted and parted. He admitted com- mitting a legal wrong, but denied any moral guilt,on the ground thathe thought his first wife dead or at least had pro- cured a divorce. He was given a full opportunity before the vote was taken and Notwithstanding his age and past eervioe his case was clearly contary to the law of the Church, and was decided against him. , CONSUMPTION CURED.

"Wimmen never did know nothin' about business chances," said Timothy. "Josephus, hitch the blind mare to the old wagon, and we'll go down to Albany. Lizzy, don't you worry 'bout me. I'm goin' to make a fortune, sure. So Timothy and Josephus went wad- ing with a number of others. He hadn't expected that it would require any great amount of wading; he had expected to stand on the bank, rake out a clam, open it, and pull out a pearl. But he went tn. When he saw women up to their waists in water he felt that it would be a re- flection on his nerve and his democracy if he played the aristocrat and staid on the shore. So he went in, jerked up his rake, and found a clam. "Open It, Josephus 1" he cried. "Opea it quick, and see whether it's a $40 or a $400 pearl." stuck Josephus his b s big clasp knife Into It, and after a struggle got it open. "What is it?" asked Timothy excited - "Nothing." said Josephus. "0, you're mistaken," cried Timothy, and he dug his fingers into the clam and yanked it from the shell. "Well, that's funny," ho said ruefully. "I thought every one got a pearl the first time." Just then a rumor came floating doyen the stream to the effect that some one had just sold a pearl for $55 and Timo- thy went to work again. Hegot a pearl —a hinge pearl, some one told him. It was about as large as the head of a pin. Then he got another of the same sort, and finally a pearl that was not of that variety. Mrs. Jenkyus' eyes stuck out as she looked at the assortment. "What's they worth, Timothy?" she asked. "Mebbe $1.000, mebbe more," he re- plied. "-See those little ones. They're all hinge pearls. Man on the river told me that. Great demand for hinge pearls, Lizzie. Then that other one, that's pretty big. See?" "But it's such a crooked shape." "0, that'e all right. Man up the river sold one to -day for 855. "Who to!" "I don't know. Every one in the river was talking about it, though. 1 tell you, Lizzie, we're just going to have • 1 ci t, (� 1; ��c' .J SNAKES ON THE EGG SHELLS. A Wonderful Freak of Nature Caused by a Ben Being Charmed. A wonderful freak of nature, resulting from the charming of a hen by a huge rattlesnake, Is reported by Maj. Scheller de Buol, who resides just south of this city; on the line of the Burlington road, says a Galena, I11., letter to the Chicago Tribune. The major states that Friday last he bad occasion to search for a favorite hen belonging to his coop of rare fowls, and he found her near a pile of brush, trembling like a leaf and gaz- ing with strained eyes and neck trans- fixed at a huge rattlesnake, which ' lay coiled not four feet away, with head and tail up, ready for its fatal spring. Maj. de Buol had a hoe in his hand at the time, and lost no time in dispatching his snakeabip. He then attempted to "shew" the hen to the barn, but she could not be made to stir, and he ac- cordingly picked Ler up and carried her in his arms to the coop. The strangest thing about the incident above narrater is that for three successive daye there- after t r the hen laid an egg on the largo end of which was an exact representa- tion in miniature of the rattlesnake, the fiat bead, short, thick body, and button tall of this species of reptile being etrik- ingly apparent. Otherwise the eggs were perfectly formed and of ordinary THE MARKS ON THE EGGS. size. The coils or representations of the snake are raised a quarter of an inch frons the shell and are ' similarly formed on the inside, showing conclusively that it was the work of nature. The eggs were brought to the city and presented to Dr. E. R. Kittoe by Maj. de Buol, and are now on exhibition at Siniger's drug store, where they have been seen and examined by hundreds of people. The above is an accurate sketch of these most wonderful freaks in nature, but they must be seen to be fully appreciat- ed, as showing the effects of the power of charming possessed by the serpent, and particularly the rattlesnake.

"Why didn't you sell them at Albany ?" she asked. "Not much," said Timothy. "Only offered me $2.25 for the whole lot." "But every one else seems to be get- ting lots of money for 'em there." Timothy scratched his head. "That 1s sort o' funny, isn't it?" he Raid. "Now I recollect It; that fellow did say he'd give $2.25, an' we could both say it wad' $200. But they're all sharks. I'm goin' to send 'oro to Chi- cago." The last chapter of thio little story consists principally of a letter. It ran as follows: "Adelgitha, k1.. yer tell why I salted yer ter accomperny me ter this sickklud- ed spot? No, yer kin not. I will tell yer why.
