LITB TOPICS TOCOHBD UPON THIS BVBMIMO. HurMbsM Tonne Lady Lecturing in Pari An Amwinn Pastor in Berlin! If tbe Harrisburg Tannic Men Went Cavairy Company They Hut Barry Themselves. From faroflf France from Par ee, in factcomes a copy of the Paris edition of the New York Herald of date Decem ber 2d. It is a unique publication which coven the news of the old and new world, and does it in a way that must be most satisfactory to its American readers. From the Herald GosbId learns that a Harris burg young lady has been distinguishing herself in a manner exceedingly creuit able, as her many friends here will be leased to learn.

The Herald says: "A few evenings ago an exceedingly attractive lecture was delivered at the in titnt Polvelotte in English, on 'Moun tains and Rivers of the United bvMlas Marie A. Kerno. a young lady 'from Harrisburg. and a graduate of Swarthmore College, Pennsylvania. The interest in the leoture was wen sustained throughout the evening." Mias Eemo'i lecture was one of a series of fourteen before the Institute Polyglotte began on November 10th and extending throughout this month, the lecturers being people of eminence as instructors.

It is a source of pride to her many friends in this city that Miss Kemp has been selected as one of the lecturers. Wb have received a copy of The Eng lish and American RegUUr, printed at Berlin, Germany, tor the benefit of English and American residents and tourists In Germany. Among the interesting articles it contains is a Thanksgiving sermon, preached by Bey. J. H.

W. Stuck nberg, D. In the American church In Berlin, on November 24th. Rev. Mr.

Stuckenberg is not unknown in Harris burg. Some years ago he attended the General Lutheran Synod in this city, and preached in the Market Square Presbyterian church. Some time ago, when a vacancy occurred in the pastorate of Zlon Lutheran church in this city, his name was prominently mentioned, but there was no assurance that he would leave his Sleasant home and prominent charge in terlin to come back to America, and therefore Dr. Stuckenberg's name was not presented. Be is an eloquent divine, a hard, earnest worker, and highly es teemed both in and out ot his church.

His position in Berlin is one that leads to many new acquaintances, ana men cans who have met him there speak in the highest praise of him. Thb young men of Harrisburg who are anxious to have a cavalry company in this city should be up and doing. Thus far they have contented themselves with signing ine rou ana announcing mem selves in readiness to be Inspected whenever Adiutant General Hastings shall ap point a time. That is not enough. They should hold a meeting and appoint Mmmlttu snv nf fan mpmhprfl WUJ kWVV wvmm cc visit Governor Beaver and Jutant General Hastings, and present to these officials their argument in favor of their claim.

This is necea sarv and should be done at once. The outlook is very encouraging, andHar risburg should take advantage of it.

The latest candidate for public favor in the way of type writers is the "World," a machine that is at once practical, rapid, simple and durable, and takes up but little more space than a lady's writing desk. These machines have been tested by the most expert writers who for years have used the old, lumbering type writers, and all agree that it is the simplest, easiest worked and easiest learned of all the type writes. It requires no experience to operate it, in fact it can be operated at first sight, so that there is no delay, no discouragement, nor hard work in learning how to write. This new tvoe writer costs but eight dol lars, or one twelfth the amount paid for one of the old makes, and does the work lust as neatlv and as well. It is the only i practical cheap type writer maae, ana when placed on the market immediately sprang into popular iavor, so mat ine manufacturers have had their hands full in supplying orders.

Danger In Wearing Sealskin daps. Chicago ournal. The recent cold weather has, 1 see. caused a great number of people to don their sealskin caps; and this has set me to ruminating on the subject or fur coverings for the head. There is no doubt that when we have zero weather and high winds combined it is absolutely necessary to have the head and ears well protected.

If they are left exposed the ears may be frozen, and, even without that, the auditory nerves may be benumbed and paralyzed, for every one has noticed how exposure to a cold blast will make his ears ring. On the other hand, if one owns a fine sealskin cap he will probably wear it straight along from December to March; and during that period there will be a great deal of moderate weather, in which a sealskin is very much too warm for comfort. At such times the possessor of this article of luxury has two courses open to him. He can continue to wear his beautiful cap, in which case his head will be in a perpetual sweat and he will weaken his scalp and perhaps lose his hair; or he can lay aside bis sealskin and put on his hard hat, in which case he will have the finest case of influenza and catarrh on record. Any one who wears a sealskin cap should cut out this article and glue it in well on the inside of the crown Not Soon a Bad Lot.

A Record of Events en Which at Chicago Brother Ethel? Husband Seeks Divorce. Chicago. Dec. 19. Frederick Rowley filed a bill for divorce to day against Florence, his wife.

Frederick had a penchant for diaries and when he was married to Florence at Indianapolis oh the 24th of Mar. 1886. he invested in a beau tiful book, on the white pages of which each evening he intended to write the story of marital bliss. Some of these pages were submitted in the bill filed this morning, of which the following are sam ples: September 11th. 1886.

An Uptown Young Stan's Audacious Con duct on isowiing ureen. New York World. Two uptown young men were down at Bowling Green the other day on business. Their bad not been downtown in so long a time that many of the sights down there had the charm of novelty to them. While they were rrossi'" tbe street from the Vuoiup uincoa laey saw crowd of immigrants hastening around the corner of the Washington Building, Just around the corner the immigrants met a small delegation of friends, who from their dress and generally improved appearance seemed to have been in Amer ica for Borne time.

Almost instantly the immigrants and their welcoming friends fell to kissing one another. The uptown young men were much interested. "That's an uncommonly pretty girl," said one of the young men, a London dramatic author. "Look at that mouth I Talk' about your pomegranates. It's a rosebud, with suggestions of carnations." "Well," returned the other young man, a practical minded creature of audacious turn of mind, "Why don't you go and kiss it?" "What?" gasped his friend.

"Nothing Get into line and take your turn. "I'll do it." The London young man pushed his way into the crowd and seized the pretty girl's hand and drew her away from the clasp of a buxom immigrant. "My dear girl," he said in endearing tones, "how glad I am to see youl How are all the folks? Then he kissed her red, red lips once twice and turned away. The immigrants and their friends were stunned with surprise. The pretty girl was the first to recover her breath.

"Oh!" said she, with a gasp. "What a handsome young man!" The Under Dog in the Fight. The following poem has been cred ited to various writers and frequently published anonymously. Its author was David Barker, a lawyer of Penobscot county, who gained considerable reputation in his State by his poetical writings. He was known as the "Bard of Exeter," from the town in which he lived.

He died in 1879. I know that the world that the great big world From the teasant tip to the king. Has a different tale from the tale I tell, And a different song to sing.

Select the largest, freshest, firm fleshed and highly flavored oysters.

Drain and dry them on a soft white cloth or napkin; beat up some fresh egg with halt a gill of cream. Have ready a quantity ot bread crumbs made from day old wheat bread. Take your oysters, one by one, and dip them into the egg and cream mixture above provided for; then lay it upon the bread crumbs and coyer with the same, so that it shall be encased; now press it gently with the soft part of the hand, but do not flatten them, but manipulate each one tenderly and daintily, so that all shall come out as short, thick and plump as possible. As the oysters are crumbed bay them on a tray in single layers and set them aside in a cool place for half an hour before frying. Fry them in plenty of the best and sweetest leaf lard, made smoking hot, to a rich golden brown color.

This leaves them far more tender and with a much higher flavor than when fried to dark brown or, in other words, overdone.

The great Interna tlonal fight between Jake Kilrain, ex. amateur oarsman, of Boston, and Jem Smith, the champion of England, took place to day on Souverain Island, in the river Seine, a short distance from Rouen. It was a great surprise to the backers of the Englishman, for, after fighting 106 rounds, occupying two hours and a half, darkness put a stop to further fighting. Referee Atkinson states that he would announce the time and place lor continuing the fight, but the men subsequently agreed to draw their stakes. Kilrain bad best of the fight all through.

He won first blood in the eleventh round, and gained first knockdown in the eighteenth round. First round Kilrain threw Smith; Kilrain led off on Smith's stomach; Smith led for Kilrain's body, but was short. Duration of round, flfty flve seconds. Second round Kilrain planted a vigorous blow on Smith's stomach. Smith responded with a sharp blow on Kilrain's fcrehead.

Time, twelve seconds. Up to" the tenth round the advantage was all with Kilrain. Ia the eleventh round Kilrain landed a number of effective blows on Smith's ribs and nose, drawing blood. A claim of blood for Kilrain was made and allowed. From the twelfth to the fifteenth round the exchanges were all in favor of Kilrain.

Kilrain pummeled Smith severely about the chest and ribs and agctn visited his nose, drawing copious draughts or bicoa. jsven ngnung then ensued. Smith hit Kilrain warmly about the bacs in tne thirteenth round, and Jake leveled up matters by dealing Smith a terrific blow with his right and knocking him clean off his feet. Kilrain split Smith's lip. From the nineteenth up to the ninety sixth round Kilrain had everything his own way.

He knocked Smith down repeatedly, hitting wherever he pleased. Smith became very groggy, and looked one time as if he would faint from pain and loss of blood. He responded bravely every time to the call of time, but as soon as JU1 rain would rush at him went down to avoid punishment. lhe rounds were all short and savage. the longest being the fiftieth, which lasted two minutes and fourteen seconds.

From the ninety sixth to the 106th, the last round, Kilrain thrashed Smith around as he pleased. Ho struck him repeatedly scout the head and body, getting away without a return. Darkness" then set in and Referee Atkinson postponed the fight tor tne time being. Tne American contingent urged that the fight proceed by candle light in a barn, but the English sports would not consent. Smith's ears were badly cut and swol len.

The right side ot his race was tern bly bruised. Kilrain had a lump or two on his forehead and bis left eye was nearly closed. Otherwise he was in good shape The tight lasted two hours and twenty minutes. At a conference of the pugilists it was decided to make the fight a araw. Smith's powers as a wrestler did not stand him in such good stead as his back ers hoped for.

He only threw Kilrain twice during the battle, and Jake tossed him heavily once by way of evening up matters. Kilrain weighed 176 pounds pounds upon entering tne ring, and Smith 182 pounds. Smith evidently had concluded that was too rruch for him, and Lis "wards 011 hope in avoiding defeat was to pro long tee right In every way conceivable until darkness intervened. His tactics. however, were rapidly exhausting him.

and it was plain long before the fight was oraered stopped that ne was a gone man. Another ten minutes, it is believed. would have settled the fight. The referee decided, however, that it was too dark to continue and ordered the men to their corners. A hasty consultation followed between the referee, the backers and sec onds of the men.

Kilrain's friends see ing that their man bad the best of it. clamored to have the fight go on. At one time it looked as it a row would occur, but the more aggressive spirits of the mirain crowd were finally persuaded to abide by the referee decision. a The Farmers are for Protection. Philadelphia Press.

While the Pennsylvania State Grange did not deem it advisable to make any declaration by resolution on the tarifl question, its views may be pretty well understood by the fact that Leonard Rhone, Victor E. Piollet and R. H. Thomas, ot that organization, will form a committee to go to Washington and protest against the removal of the tariff on raw materials and the admission of wool, iron and sugar free of duty. These men will represent the agricultural senti ment on the subject, and nothing can better snow the feeling of the farmers re specting Mr.

Cleveland's tariff rolicy. They are not influenced by the false sug gestions that protective duties are in the interest of monopolies. In truth, the strongest protests against the free 'trade propositions in the message have so fsr come from the farmers. A Terrible Cyclone. A destructive cyclone visited Arm strong Acadeaiy, I.

Eastok, Dec 19. Examinations are now in progress and the term closes on Wednesday, when the Christmas vacation of two weeks begins. Daring examination week the college wears an en tirely different aspect from that of ordinary times. LIghu are lit in the dormitories till the wee small hours of the morning, and the Sabbath Is desecrated by more studying than is seen on week days during the term. But the most dreaded aspect of examination week is the face of a man to whom you owe a bilL Be he board man, wash man, coal oil man or what not, he is sure to appear and make a raid on the remnants of an almost exhausted exchequer.

The term which is drawing to a close has been an eventful one. The accession nl npv olnrfpfita nnntn.ll r. iraiernmes lounu plenty or desirable men among them The literary societies made their usual effort to secure new members, but with unequal success, the Washing, ton securing three and the Franklin one. The football season has been one of rare success. The directors, of whom Mr.

Frank 1. Snodgrass. of IJarrisbunr. is one, labored faithfully and efficiently to put a strong team in the field and thev succeeaea. The ecason opened with some victories over small colleges, such as Dickinson, Swarthmore, Haverford and Rutger's; but the first important game was a defeat.

Lehigh beating Lafayette 10 4. This was the only defeat ever suffered by Lafayette at the hands of Lehigb, and the referee was largely responsible for it. Bat the game with the University of Pennsylvania followed soon after and they were beaten on their own grounds by a score of 20 0. On the day before Thanksgiving the return game with Lehigh was Elayed and the previous defeat retrieved. bigh was beaten 6 0, and Ltfayette, having defeated every Pennsylvania football team east of the Alleghenies, had won the State championship.

i ne term nas also seen numerous leas important events. such as the Hallow e'en celebration, the meeting of teachers' institute in Pardee Hall, to the great enjoyment of the flirtation loving students; the fantastic gymnasium drills of the senior class, and the episodes at the be ginning of the term. The excitement and work of the term have been very wearing on the students, and all are looking forward to a pleasant vacation, which shall include a Merry Christmas and a a OyKB TUB BIVEK.

During tho last week his name has been more discussed than that of any of the more Erominent candidates in Washington. It 1 claimed that his nomination would be the strongest that could be presented to appeal to the business interests ot the country; and, also, that he is probably the only man whose nomination would recall to the front the Old Guard with Conkling at its bead. Blaine is confessedly weak the commercial, financial and business interests of he country, and Cleveland is undeniably stronger than his party with that im Gortant element. Cameron, it is be eved by many, would give the party the greatest strength ust where the party most needs strength, and just where Blaine is weakest; and the growing ap prehensions as to Blaine's availability have made Cameron much more seriously considered as a possible candidate than is apparent on the surface here. A Saloon Keeper' Victory.

Judge M'Allister. of Chicago, yester day decided that the city ordinance prohibiting the sale of liquor to minors was void. A few days ago Oscar Matthia. who keeps a concert saloon, was arrested for Belling wine to Linnie St. Clair, a six teen year old girl, who was abducted by a young man whom she bad met in con cert saloons.

Matthia applied for release under the habeas corpus act, and was discharged. The judge held that the portion or tho ordinance which revokes a saloon keeper's license on a second offense is unconstitutional. Among the grounds lor this opinion are that the general corporation act does not give the City Council power to pass such an A laeky Woman. At about 1 clock yesterday morning a bomb to which a lighted ruse was attached was thrown through a window into the dining room of Dr. Canfleld's residence, at Stanstead.

Que. Mrs. Can field hearing the crash and the hissing of burning ruse, sprang outol bed and suc ceeded in detaching the fuse. Tho bomb contained enough giant blasting powder to wholly demolish the house and kCl all the inmates. Dr.
