The dull yellow sunlight of the Eng lish autumn struggled vaguely tlirougl the bilken curtains. Shadows lurkei everywhere in the richly furnisliec apartment, but nowhere so heavily a: upon the faces of the two men wh< stood regarding each other with gloonr eyes. The younger, a strongly built handsome man of thirty, confronte( bis companion with a look of open re sentment. The other, double his age but erect and stately as a pine, return Ail bis witli nssnmod calmness His lip quivered perceptibly, however and there was an accent of rage in hi.? voice as ho said: "You appear to forget that you ar< my secretary, sir?my hired servant." " And you would intimate that I alsr forget that you are Sir Thomas Timer,' was the bitter retort, " one of tli< world's leaven and something better, bj Heaven's will, than we poor commoi: mortals. Therefore, because I was borr ?*i T i V,. Tilln-i*- I -T I t r plftlil JjUtvc x UUi uu mau u iui your daughter." "Exactly, sir," replied Sir Thomas; "your logic is excellent. My admiration for your talent is only equaled by my wonder at your impudence." " You speak according to your code, Sir Thomas, when you call my just assertion of the rights God has distributed equally among all men by so insulting a name. But in your supreme prejudice you forget one important fact. Your daughter loves me." " I do not forget that you assert it," was the sharp retort. " I do not be lieve it, lor jl nave a uener ujjujiuu vj. my daughter's good sense." " She has told me so," was the prompt reply, "and I can trust her." "Indeed!" said Sir Thomas, ironically. "It has gone as far as that ? It is high time that a grain of sense were cast into the atmosphere of foolery which you have brought into this house with you. There are laws in England made to protect weaklings like my daughter (rom scoundrels like you. Be . assured that I shall lodge you in the teauraHail if you presume to breathe a r^j^T^INp^ubject again during the of your stay. Now Talbot's face flushed hotly. You are a fool to threaten me," he cried, " when it is in my heart to put you and your pompous pride out of the world together." 11 T o /J vnr rmmViAT J. uavcu u a. j w* ? assassination among your virtnes," said Sir Thomas, coldly. " At the same time we will dispense* with heroics if you please. Come here at 'J o'clock this evening, present your accounts, receive your talary, and get out of the house within the hour, or?well, I will nol bandy words with you." Talbot glared at him fiercely for a moment, and then, as if he really feared that his temper would get the best oi ' him, he rushed out of the room. As he opened, the dpar a woman's dros> "whisked quicloy into an alcove in the corridor. In his excitement Talbol passed on, unconscious that there hac been a witness to his interview with Sii m. XUUAU09* At the foot of the stairs he was mei by a young girl, who approached hin with a pale and agitated face. Shi looked up at him anxiously, and seeing the heavy frown upon his foreheac shrank back from him murmuring tremulously: " What did he say, Luke ?" " Say," answered Talbot, harshly, " Ik .heaped insults upon me, and orderev me out of his house like a mongre dog." "Poor Luke," said a low sweet voic< behind them, and a tall, slender gir came to his side, and took his hand witl an air of coir, passion. "Yon are learn ing the hard lessen which is as old a the world, that love has more sorrow than joy in it." ' * " Yes, Parthenope, returxled Talbot more gently, "pray God when your tun comes the lesson may not be as bitte as mine." The girl dropped his hand and averte< her face in silence. One rarely sees si . wide a contrast between the children o the same parents as there was betweei the two daughters of Sir Thomas Ulrner Pearl, the younger, was small and fra w gile of figure, with large timid viole eyes, and pale gold hair. A sweet thing born to live all her life a clinging child and to be the meek shadow of those sh loved. Parthenope, the elder, on th other hand, was of grand proportion? gracefnl as a deer, with hair and eyes o a Moorish blackness. Her very move inents were expressive of mental strengt! and decision. In the old time she migh have been chosen by an emperor to b his royal mate. As she stood besid m.iu.i ?~ * J-Uiuut ULLMV, IIU?>CYCI, tuuiu strange air of submission in her atti . tude. " Help us, Parthenope, said th younger sister, clinging about her neck "You can influence our father where should anger him. Speak for us, m; sister. We love each other so." The elder sister looked down at he in silence. There was a pink spot ii each cheek, and a hard expression abou her pale lips. "What do you know^of love?" sh said, in a smothered voice. " All that a woman can know," sobbe Pearl. "Nothing," retumed the other, a] most violently. " Nothing of the agonj the bitter self-abasement, the utte hopelessness that have burned into woman's heart before now, and ma again. But," she said, with a sudde: movement, and a cold smile, " I mus leave the sentiment to you and Luke who are better judges than I. I wi] try what I can do with father to-night. "You are a true friend, Parthenope, said Talbot, warmly. "Friend," she echoed, in a Strang tone, " wait nntil the event proves m, friendship." And 6he hurried away, leaving th lovers to derive what comfort the; might from her promise of assistance In the vague hope that he might fin< Sir Thomas more favorably dispose* toward him, Talbot repaired to the bar onet's room that night at 9 o'clock. A he paused before the door to summoi his composure for -what was likely t< - prove an eventful interview, a strang< sound, proceeding from the room startled him. It was that of a low deej groan, followed by a heavy fall. As h( tt raed the door knob there was a mut tering of voices and the tread of hash footsteps within. On entering the apart ment a terrible scene met his gaze. Th< baronet lay upon the floor with tli< blood flowing from a deep wound in th< forehead. His open eyes and clenchec teeth told that it had been almost in stantly mortal. Near him on the car pet was a short bar of iron stained witl the old man's blood. It had evidently been nsed to pry up the window, whicl opened upon a low balcony, fron whence the perpetrators of tlie awfn deed had probably entered the roon and killed Sir Thomas sleeping in hi< arm chair. As Talbot stood bewildered and un certain how to act, he was startled b; a low cry behind him. Turning quick b lm beheld Parthenope gazing at he" father with wide and horrified eyes. ' He is dead," said Luke, hoarsely "They have killed him with one blo^i ! and escaped by the balcony into th garden. Quick, ring the bell and arous the house." She turned toward the bell rope as i to comply ; then paused and looked a him with a sudden mad gleam in he eye. " Tiiiko." she said, in a whisper, dror ping the bell-liaudle and coming clos to him ; "you were heard to threaten r.r father to-dav. You will be accused c this." "You cannot believe me guilty, gasped Talbot. " No," she answered, in the same lo\ voice, " but others will. Do what tell you. Close the window? * >ftly so Now take up that lmr of iron." Without understanding hei witliou even consenting to her command, hi rvVinirn/] liivr rrwlinnii-illlV. as if be Wer magnetized by her fierce energy. Wliei lie had done as she directed she sntl denly sprang toward him and seizin] him by the arm uttered a shrill screar for help. In an instant the room wa filled with affrighted servants, and witl them came Pearl, nearly fainting. " Take him ! " she cried. " I accus him of my father's murder! See h has the weapon still in his hand." There was a rush, and twenty rougl hands seized him. He struggled vie lentlv to free himself. "What do you mean?" he exclaimed in horror. "Partlienope, you knoi that I am innocent. Why should yo seek to fasten this awful crime upo: me?" " I accuse you of my father's murder, she repeated, with a ghastly face. "Pearl," cried the unfortunate man" Pearl, for God's sake, look at me You too do n. t believe me guilty." Bat Pearl averted her eyes and sliran' _ back from liim in affright. j "You quarreled with my fathei to I day," she moaned. " Oh, Luke! Luke 1 how had you the heart to do it ?" a He ceased his resistance instantly. * I rn i ? :/j u TJ i j xaKe me away, ue s?m. jli r>u< j, believes mo guilty, who will have fait] in me! Pearl, you have broken m; j heart. Parthenope, my blood be oi your head, and may Heaven forgivi ) you!" With a sorrowful look at the sister: . ?the younger bowed to the earth witl , terror, the elder erect and facing hin 5 with an expression of mingled triumpl and agony?he was led away. j The unhappy young man soon hac reason to believe in his Own prophecy ) The bar had been found in his hand ' The motive for the deed was establishes ; to the satisfaction of the most charitably r disposed. The whole melancholy stor i of his love was made public, togetlie: i with his quarrel with the baronet oi mil ? .111 i nf <lir> rrmrrlpr Pnrilipnnno whose unaccTOiS^Me malice had fast ened the most danfSiUJg proofs upor him, testified to having^Ju^rd Lin threaten to murder her father, ancPH^ei evidence was supported by others. The case was plain. His own counsel was so fully convinced of his client's guilt that he barely made a show of defense. Talbot had little doubt of the issue of the trial, and cared still less. If Peail had loved him she would have believed in him, and he should have had the courage to make a manly struggle for his life. As it was, death seemed the happiest mode of ending his wretchedness, even if it nmst come upon the scaffold. On? m'rrht. as he sat moodily in his coll indulging in the gloomiest reflections, the grated door was flung open and a muffled female iigure entered. He stared up with a bounding heart; he hoped it might be Pearl, come at last to testify her faith in him. The woman flung back her wrappings and Parthenope, pale as some shadow visitant oi that dreary place, stood before him. He dfew back from her with a gesture ol disgust. "Are you here," he said, sternly, "tc mock me with the fate your own malicc has wrought upon me ?" " I am here to save yoa," ?he said, gently. i " I will not take my safety from youi hands," he cried, fiercely. "For souk evil reason of your own you have plotted . for my life. Take it; 1 will not bargair > with you." i "Luke," she moaned, "wretched a.' i you are, I am a thousand times mor< i miserable. Death is all that threaten! > you. I would gladly exchange witl , you if I might be vid of the burden o remorse and shame that is bearing m< i to the earth. You say true. I did plo [ to criminate you, knowing you to b< t innocent. I aimed to have your life ii j my hands, that I might save it and mak< i it mine. Ou-tka.evil impulse of the mo ; mont I put the bar in your hand am t had you accused of my father's death.

"But what was your object?" asket t Talbot, in wonder. 11 "Luke!" she cried, flingingliersel ? abjectly at his feet, " I love you. Se< r what an awful thing my love must l>< 1 when I can sacrifice every womanb , sentiment to it. But I do not care. I is too late to shield myself beliinc any false pretense. More than life ? or honor, or pride, I love you, a 1 I loved you from the day you enteret 1 my father's house. With some women Luke, love is a gentle emotion?al e meekness and submission.

But d< <t not mistalce me. I have nourished n< vain hope since that dreadful night There is no longer any hope left me ii i this world." r " Poor girl!" said Talbot, gently. " I this be true, God knows I forgive you 1 My own heart is sore enough to urge al 3 charity for you. I, too, have nothing f worth living for." i "Yes," cried Parthenope, "youhavi . a long life of happiness before you . blessed with Pearl's love. Weak as sli< t is, she has never been untrue to you , I have poisoned her against you unti , she could not but believe in your guilt e It shall be a part of my penance to re e store her to you." st "Then all will be forgiven and for ,f gotten," answered Talbot. "Rise, nr i- poor sister and be comforted." Ii " Comforted," she said, raising he: ,t tear-stained eyes to his, "where shall ^ e find comfort in this world ?" TT^ 1 1 _ ^ 1 e iiv siuupcu iu ruise mr up, am a would have kissed her, but she drev i- back with a bright spot in her hag gard cheek. e " Not now," she whispered; " not til all wrong is righted, Luke." I With bowed head and tottering stej v she left the cell. Three days later Tal bot was taken into court and formally r acquitted. a " Young mau," said the judge, will t emotion, " your life has been saved a the expense of a noble woman's. Go t< e her and thank her for the sacrifice a best you may, for your gratitndo ant d the world's applause are as nothing t< her." [- Fearing he knew net what, Talbo r, hastened to the Ulmer mansion. r surgeon's gig was standing before thi a ! door, and a weeping servant admitte< j him. He was led into a room where hi n saw Parthenope lying upon a sofa, am it beside her, holding one of her wai >, hands, knelt Pearl, her frail form shaking [1 with sobs. One glance at the whit< " j face and hollow eyes of the elder siste " , told the sorrowful story. " What has happened V" he exclaimed e " There is blood on your dress.' y " She has received a wound in tin | breast," said the surgeon, who stooi e gravely by. "She is beyond humai y aid-" i " I have earned my pardon, Luke,' murmured Parthenope, with a fain 1 smile. " Even you will forgive me now as Pearl has. for I have told her all There was good in my heart, even i it took en assassin's knife to find it. j knew you were innocent that night, foi 1 I saw that the house had been enterec by thieves, and my father murdered bj them. But I hoped by casting th< blame on you to bargain for your love when I could ofler you your life for it It was a mad hope. I might hav< learned how futile it must be from m? own heart. Af;er you were taken awa; . I searched the ground beneath th< window and found a coat which on< j of the villains had flung off in his ; flight. I recognized it as that whicl I had seen on one of two vagrant; who had been lurking about'the plac< during the day. I secreted it until nr time should come. But in my igno ranee of the law I had made a terribh 1 mistake. As your trial progressed ! l saw that my plan must fail, and unles 9 I made the whole shameful truth knowi j vou must die. I resolved to do it, an< - ! save you, as I promised you in th f 1 prison cell. But I was spared that f j Secure in your arrest and probable con r I viction, the murderer's instinct led tli 1 tramps to return to the scene of thei , | crime. I saw them both in the garde: v I again. Fearing that they would escap We before help arrived, I seized ono of e them. He struggled, but I was strong, and it wag. only by dealing me my death f that ho tore himself away. They were t quickly captured, and tho lesser vilr lain, to save himself from tho consequences of a double crime, confessed i? irlinlA. Tliis is the storv. Luke." 0 she added, faintly. "Now, if you had y forgiven the poor girl who has atoned if for her love and her guilt with her life, kiss her that she may die in peace." ? With tears in her eyes, Talbot bent and kissed her. Even with the act, v with a look of supreme love she breath1 ed out her soul upon his lips. Arising, l# ho looked sadly down at her, and said, in a low voice: I " Love is mighty, for good or evil. e God's peace be with her, for her love 0 was great." u And Pearl, hiding her tear-stained . face upon his breast, whispered: rr "As mine shall be." D II ^ s WISE WORDS. Ii That is the best part of beauty which e a picture cannot express. e finrnlv tlmf, nvpafhinc which comes from the soul most works on the soul. 1 The divinity of charity consists in relieving a man s needs before they are forced upon us. v Good qualities are the substantial u riches of the mind; but it is goodbreedn ing that sets them off to advantage. Childhood often holds a truth with its " feeble fingers, which the grasp of manhood canuot retain, which it is the pride _ of utmost age to recover. ! Be not diverted from your duty by any idle reflections the silly world may k make upon you, for their censures are not in your power, and consequently i- should not be any part of your concern. Give not thy tongue too great a liberty, lost it take thee prisoner. A word unspoken is like a sword in a scabbard p ?thine; if vented, thy sword is in an1 other's hand. If thou desire to be held y wise, be so wise as to hold thy tongue. The happiest lot for a man, as far as " birth is concerned, is that it should give him but little occasion to think much s about it. 1 A man who does manly work in the 1 world is respected, but he who trifles 1 away his time with toys receives the j world's contemptuous smile. The patriot is he who obeys his country's laws, and if they are oppressive j and unjust strives earnestly and within . the proper limits to rectify them. You tind yourself refreshed by the e presence of cheerful persons. Why not i make earnest effort to confer thatpleas( ure on others? You will find half the . battle is gained if you never say anyi thing gloomy. i Unselfish and noble acts are the most r I radiant, epochs in tlie biography of Vsouls.

When the late Mr. Seward purchased \ Alaska from the czar of Russia, says an B I exchange, he was not aware of the fact 3 i that he was getting with his countless ^ J fur-seals, fisheries, mines and icebergs [ | one of the greatest rivers in the world, 3 and now almost demonstrated to be of 3 greater volume than the Missisippi.

That the country . j contains mines of gold and silver, we i . may readily conjecture from the fact j that such mines exist on all sides of ! r i it. The river is navigable for hundreds j [ j of miles. It is free of ice from June to j September. Its banks are flanked bej I low with Indian villages.

I A Rat in the Telegraph Service, r I A telegraph inspector recently pressed into his service a rat under the follow. ing peculiar circumstances: It was , necessary to overhaul a cable of wires 3 inclosed in iron tubes. A certain length 1 of the cable had to be taken out of the ; i tube, and the men commenced hauling at one end without having taken the | ' precaution to attach to the other a wire t bv which it might be drawn back into , the tube after inspection and repairs. . The question arose how the cable was f to be restored to its proper place, and [ here the ingenuity of the inspector was r i manifested. 1 ' He invoked the aid of a rat catcher, j and, provided with a large rat, a ferret ? and a ball of string wound round on a , Morse paper drum, he repaired to the . j opening in the tube. The "flush boxes" ? were opened, and the rat, with one end of the string attached to his body, was j put into the pipe. He scampered away 3 at a racing pace, dragging the twine ? with him until lie reached the middle of i the length of pipe, and there stopped, i The ferret was then put in, and off went i the rat again until he sprang out of the 3 next flush box. One length of the cable was thus safe, and the same operation - was commenced with the other; but the 3 rat stopped short a few yards in the I pipe and boldly awaited the approach s of the ferret. A sharp combat here coma menced, and it was feared that one or 3 . both of the animals would die in the o ; pipe. But, after sundry violent jerks had been given to the string, the comi batants separated; the ferret returned to o his master, and the rat, making for the r other extremity of the pipe, carried the n j string right through, and so relieved e I the inspector from his anxiety. ...

I remember tlmt on my return t< France in a vessel which had been on i voyage to India, as soon as the sailor: had perfectly distinguished the. land o their native country, they became in i great measure incapable of attending t< the duties of the ship.

As we approached the disorder o their minds increased. As they hac' been absent several years, there was n< end to their admiration of the hills, th< foliage of the trees, and even the rock.1 which skirted the shore, covered witl weeds and mosses.

In nine cases out of ten they ar< willing to make a compromise for lifh or a hundred dollars, which some news papers pay rather than be subjected tc the annoyance and inconvenience o going into court. As a measure of pro tection against these harpies an amend ment to the libel law of Missouri is sug gested by the St. Louis journals. /. similar change in the statutes on tin subject here might be of very grea advantage to respectable journalism.? 1Veto 1 'irk Herald. Trees and Moisture. A report sent us by an undoubted an thority on the subject of American for estry proves that since 125 years tin necessary moisture of the soil in Nortl America has decreased seven per cent every quarter century in consequence o the wanton destruction of woodlands and that a furl Ik r continuance of thesi must most seriously affect the climate o the whole continent, to the great detri ment of health as well as the fertility o the soil. That the picture is not over drawn we can easily prove from the de cline of horticultural products. Fron many States in which but a com paratively few years since peaches wer< grown on free land this luscious frni has entirely disappeared, and man; other garden products with it According to the "Report upoi Forestry," Southern Indiana, unti shortly, had a regular peach crop, whili now it is the rule for such crops to fail almost the same is the case with regarc to the far more hardy apples and othe fruits. Light frosts in May and Jun< are no longer a rarity ; the wheat mar ket was in many places entirely killec by frost; in others from twenty t< forty per cent, was lost.

The j i HJart'old was a rough wooden structure, painted j 3 Hack, consisting of a liigh platform, upon which were three posts, each with a chain and j nancies, and one long horizontal beam, with j iron rin;?s for ropcsf supported by two perpen- I 1 dicular posts. In Iront was a low platform for I t t'ho officials. Tlie large plain around was cov- | ered with snow and ice, which was melting in | * title warm sunshine. By 8 o'clock many j 1 thousands of people had collected around the ; j jiain and swarmed in the various streets leading to it. Ten thousand troops kept them lack and formed two squares around tho gali lows. First were the Cossacks with couched j lances and then detachments of the guard. The infantry was massed in deep columns, leaving one side of the inner square open for tho 3 passage of the condemned prisoners and escort. The cortege entered the eastern side of the plain a few minutes before 9 o'clock, having passed through some of the principal streets on 3 the way from tho fortress. ? Tlie condemned criminals were seated high j in the center of two-wheeled platforms, tightly | 3 strapped to iron rods, with their backs toward tlie horses, and having on their breast large 1 cards with tho word "Tsareoubiest" (murderer of tho czar) in black and white. Surrounding x them was a strong escort of Cossacks and infantry, with drums anil fifes playing a lively 9 tune and preceded by mounted gendarmes. | i The condemned persons were dressed in black j 9 and wore a sort of black hood, covering their ^ heads and shoulders. On the first tumbril sat 1 lUissakoft' and JeliadofT, both of whoso features I >' were nearly concealed by heavy hoods. .Telia- | r doll's dark, piercing eyes seemed to shine with j even intensified brilliancy and defiance as lio j looked on tlie scene around him. On the second j tumbril were seated Kibaltschitisch, Sophie j i Peroffsky and Michailoff, tho woman occupying ! the middle scat. Of these three the features of i f Sophie IVrotTsky were alone distinctly visible, I her extraordinary high and broad 'forehea'd | being unshronded by the hood. Her slightly J flushed face betokened great mental excite- ! nient, but there was no sign either of fear or ,1 remorse. General Beeanoff, with the cxecu- j tioner and his four assistants, was waiting j e under the scaffold. I The condemned were unbound and led up th< | srnps.

While the clerk of the senah read the sentences the civilians uncovered and II ofiieers saluted. During this formality fivi ( priests in purple caps litouuted tie- sea Hold ate' e presented the cross, which all the ciindcmiic' reverently kissed. The prisoners were then alf lowed to kiss each other, and a word or twi j a passed bi'tweeu them, but the beating of tin j, drums, which now began and lasted until tie execution was finished, drowned every othe: sound. The prisoners were then placed nude: the beam. I .aeh prisoner's head was coveivi with a white hood attached to a kind of sack, j l aeh one, beginning with ltussakofT, was led t- j tin- top of a small stool with steps. 1 The rope v.as drawn tight around one of tie [ J s ipporling beams and tho culprit was left ti j u strangle by the stool being withdrawn from I uniler.

Benjamin Disraeli wa< ' liorn in London, of Jewish parents, on the | ! twenty-first of December, 1.M05. His father was i Isaac Disraeli, known as the author of several : literary works, among them the famous ' ('uri- i ' | osities of Literature." He received his first j - education from his father and private tutors, j I ' Then he studied for the bar in the oflice of a ! i solicitor, who took such a fancy to him that he j proposed to make him heir to his practice. Hut ( A notwithstanding his bright prospects he tired | e of tho legal profession and devoted himself to i literatim). At the age of nineteen he visited j Germany, where he remained until lH'ifi, when i i he returned to England and published his first i B novel, " Vivian Grey," which created a sonsa- i lion and was translated into the principal Ian- I j. guagea of Europe. His great ambition was to | obtain 8 seat in parliament, but it was not j gratified until his thirty-second year, when he s was chosen as a representative of the borough j . of Maidstone to tho first parliament of tho reign of Victoria, having been twice defeated, j 1 Up to this time ho had published a , number of novels and other works. His } ii first speech in parliament was a failure and was t shouted down by the members. But it was not long before he was hoard, for in 1839 already * lie made a Bpcech which was listened to with n profound attention. Soon afterward ho published a live-act Spanish tragedy, the "fount y-.vTv_>' .'-"TV'"* - AJarcos." Tho name year ho married tho widow of Wyndham Lewis, to whoso sweet and noble character he testified by dedicating one | of his novels to his "perfect wife." Ho was | now looked upon as tho leader of tho half literary, half political party then gaining pronii- I nonce in England. Ana his savage attacks on j Sir Robert Peel for his free trade policy now ; caused Disraeli to he looked upon as one of the I chief members of Parliament, and in 1849 lie became the leader of the conservative party. In March, 1852, when Lord Derby was at the ; head of the administration, Disraeli was made chancellor of the exchequer and a member of the privy council. The same year he went out ' of office with Lord Derby, in December. After < Lord Palmerston's downfall, in February, 1858, he again became chancellor of the exchequer under Lord Derby, who was succeeded in June of the same year by the Pulmerston-Ituasell cabinet. During this administration, as wel! tfr during the following Kussell-Gladstone ministry, he led the opposition in the Commons. ! He again became chancellor of the exchequer under Derby in I860. The Earl of Derby re- J signed in February, 18158. Disraeli then bo- j came prime minister, which post he retained ! until December, 1868, when he was succeeded by Gladstone. In 1870 lie published "Lothair," which reached a circulation of 80,000 copies in j this country. The peerage offered him in 1808 lie declined for himself, but he accepted it for his wife, who became Viscountess lieaconsfield.

Two elephants and a pair of drome daries were landed from the Liverpool steamer "Wisconsin at New York the other day. The animals were destined for the Central Park menagerie. It has always beerr customary to open one of the ports and allow the animals to walk down the gangway to the dock, but for some reasons the ports of the Wisconsin were sealed up, and it was necessary to Vinist tliA unimftla anhore in a laice box made for the purpose. The falls were rigged from the yard-arm, and into the box the dromedaries were unwillingly driven. The door was bolted and the box was hoisted out and carefully deposited on the dock. This wlas fun, for a dromedary weighs about as much as a horse, but lifting out two tons of elephant flesh required more care and caution. The planks were knocked oil* one side of the pen, and Metzel, their keeper, prod in hand, nimbly ran in among the elephants and fastened a rope to the collar of Fanny. The sailors caught up the slack, and with many jokes hauled away in earnest. Much prodding was necessary to persuade her to enter the box, and at last, with an angry trumpet, she lifted her hind feet in and the door was quickly closed upon her, Meantime, Metzel was obliged to leave "Vic" alone, and the^brute, hearing his mate's cry, gave a blast that was heard far and wide and rushed angrily out of the pen and down the deck. The stampede among tlie snip's crew, viewed irom a point of safety, was indescribably funny. There were about fifty men collected on the deck watching the process of boxing' Fanny," and the sight of " Vic " bearing down upon them, with trunk curled in air, sent them tumbling over one another and scrambling in every direction. Ono of the fugitives crawled out of the brute's path barely in season to avoid being trampled on. Metzel dashed after him, aud after much swearing in German and much use of the prod, drove him back to the pen. Fanny was hoisted ashore in safety and chained to a ring on the dock. Vic was more troublesome, and preferred being half strangled to death to coming out of his pen at the end of his rope. He suddenly changed his tactics and hurriedly \ backed out again, putting the sailors into a scamper. When the pair rejoihed one another on the dock there was much rabbin tr of trunks to express their re-! joicingr " Why a Glass Eye was Unsatisfactory, j There was an old Swede who had an ! eye operated on by Dr. Holmes. The j sight was gone, and the doctor recom- : mended the man to get a glass one, j adding: " It will look just as well as the other." The Swede thought the , doctor meant it would " see" just as j well, and he was tickled. When the I socket of the lost member healed up ho j came around, and after a few trials got! a splendid fit. He looked in the mirror, i and turned about and admired it, and ; was niightly pleased. " That's good," | said he, "just as well as the other. How ? much?' They were fifteen dollars, but j he didn't mind the price. He paid, and j after another examination before the ; glass started for the door. Just there he ! struck another mirror and an idea, j Standing on the door-mat he gazed into the mirror. Then he put one hand over j the artificial eye. Chuckling. over the result he next put a hand over the j good eye. With a howl of rage he came running up through the door and said: . " Why, I can't see out of this eye a bit." j The matter was explained to him, and lie then detailed the doctor's conver- i sation with him on the point. It was no good, the trade was off, and the old man j went out as mad as a hornet, saying, as he slammed the door: "I don't want' any eye I can't see out of."?

A Trapper's Death. Chris. Haltman, a trapper, who lived j alone in his cabin a few miles from j Moscow Mills, in Wasco county, Oregon, j recently sustained a rupture while chas-! ing a buck. Ho crawled through the forest for several hours, and succeeded | in reaching the cabin. Three weeks later his nearest neighbor having called, found Haltman in a dying condition. He faintly told of the accident, said " I'm nearly gone" and not long afterward gave up the ghost. All the avail- . able surface of fioor and wall within his reach was written over in charcoal.
