Hor m Meet Um tiftaat Waif. Mothififf bat tho mil of ft child—ft child two jft*n old—asleep on the bed, ■nd yet it broke ont so snddenl j, and it hftd snob ft long-drawn quaver in it that the mother started np with a ■cream. A store, table, bed, two or three ohftirs—a borne in which a weak woman was battling with sickness and poverty, only asking for the bare necessities of hie, and yet finding the battle going against her more and more as the days passed on^. On this night there was not a monthfol in that house to eat A hungry mouse could not have picked up crust or crumb. The last bit of bread had teen given to the child at dusk, and now as it wailed out the mother clasped her hands and gasped : "If he awakes and cries for bread what then r Weill What then? It was only' M square to the river with ita cold, dark current She could say to the angels in Hesven: "It wss either t£i starvation,” and they wonTd not her too harshly. As she eat there with beating heart and anzions fears, the dim light making queer shadows dance about the room, a low, fierce growl made her heart stand still. The door had not swung open, and yet a gannt wolf had fonnd ita way into the room. It stood there with blood-shot eyes looking into ’best —itm red tongue lolling from ita month sad flecks of foam falling to the floor. Its shaggy fur was stained and discolored— its yellow fangs dashing and grinding— a spectacle to have made a hunter’s heart beat like a caged bird. It was the Wolf of Starvation—tbe fierce brute which never tires—which is ever on the hunt for the helpless and weak—which growls with delight sa tbe wails of despair and hanger reach ita eafs. It has scented ita prey from afar, and ita fangs were sharpened to rend and tear and devour. For a moment the mother's heart stood still and she gasped for breath. Then, as she realized the horror of the situation, she rose up and cried out: "You have oomo to drink the blood of my child t I’ll fight yon to the death 1” Bhe had no weapon bat the thin hands whieh had toiled and ached for long years—no hopes but those born of a mother’s love and affection for her off spring, but she sprung at the gaunt, strong beast and the battle begun. De spair gave her strength—love steeled her heart The beast retreated with fierce growls as she sprang forward *o dutch him, and as she stood in the cen tre of the room she became a magnet round whioh he circled. Now he ftlowly circles to the right, his red eyes watching her bony fingers, as they nervously worked, and every hair on bis bock standing np in anger. She turns slowly, always looking straight into his eyes—ready to clutch at his throat when he springs. Now he halts and glares at her, growling, sniffing— flinging the flecks of foam to the right and laft and grinding those horrible langa. Now he drcles to the left— cringing, skulking, crawling like a ser pent-watching to find her off her guard. \ The child u aroused by the patter of the beaat’s feet and the labored breath ing of the mother, and he aita up a silent witness of the aoenc. His face is whiter than snow—his eyes are big with terror —his heart chokes him. Now the beast springa. With a cry of rage and triumph he springs full st his prey, and the woman's hands dutch his throat Thov weave to and fro. Thev ■tagger 4his way and that His ydlow fangs graze her flesh and draw blood, and the foam- flecks are stained crimson. The child looks on with a fascination born of horror. Ha bean the dash of teeth as the jaws meet—he notes the fury of the vengeful eyee—his young heart seems to be stabbed at the sight of the mother's grim despair. Such a battle I ttuen a prize if the gaunt, hungry beast suooeeds—snob a victory if the strength of a fainting, de spairing woman holds ont to save tbe life of her child. With s cry to Heaven for aid she calls up all her strength for onv great effort and hurls the beast across the room. He is back again in a mo ment, and now he circles to the right- now to the left—now !” A step on the stain ! The beast halts in his circling, his enra work nervously, and as the steps come nearer his growl changes to a whine and he dinka into the darkness—away into space. The door is thrown open and Charity steps within, food in her basket an^kind words upon her lips. The battle is ended.—M. Quad. Att—H M dM Bsllmi Prto«s to Private advices from Turkestan stats that tha Grand Duka Nicholas, fading unhappy in his place of confinement, at tempted to flee to India on horseback but was overtaken and ^brought back. The Grand Duke Nicholas was tha bad boy of the Russian imperid family. Ha has been severs! times in disgrace be fore, and it wss on account of one of his escapades and his supposed.leaning to ward nihilist doctrines thst he wss exiled. He was a nephew of the late Czar, and was born in 1881. One night in the winter of 1871 there was s brilliant masked ball st the opera boose of Bt. Feteraburg. Among the company present was an American girl of extraordinary beanty, scarcely out of hex teens, yet a widow. Among the company, also masked, wss tbe Grand Duke. The couple became acquainted. The Prince was fascinated, and the re- spit was. that they were never parted afterward for two years and s half. The Grand Duke was, after this sdv«ntor% banished to the Caucasus. In the lonely life of tbe steppes tha exiled Prince looked about him for some one .to love. Fair ladies iffere naktndly scarce, but the Grand Duka ultimately settled his affection upon the exceed-, ihgly beautiful daughter of the Police Master Micliaeloff, and married her. When the marriage was solemnised thrf Prince sent an humble and penftfent letter to the late Csar, entreating his sanction for the unequal match. It was refused with anger, and the Czar, as s^pufftffttlent^fb^' the offenoey -ordered the young Nicholas to join the expedi tion to the Amopr district fox'the ex ploration of Central Asia. Meantime the beautiful daughter of the Police Master determined to take tho business in her own hands, travelled to St. Petersburg, managed to get sn interview with the Czar and entreated him to give his sanction to the marriage of his nephew* The imperial kinsman oonld not openly yield, bnt.'before the young lady departed for her hojne he ireated her Countess of Orenburg. This was taken as a proof thst her appeal had made a favorable impression, upon him, and when he died the Grand Dnka was tempted to ask Alexander IIL to let him return to the capital The request .was refused with scorn. ‘ After this, the Grand Dnke was al lowed to return to 81 Petersburg society and imperial favor. He took a promi nent part in the Ruaso-Turkish war and received several distinguished marks of honor from the Czar. Boon after the latter was assassinated he again fell into disgrace, and on April 5, 1881, was ar rested in the village of Bublinv, on the nilway to Moscow, and interned in a castle near St. Petersburg. He was suspected of political intrigues in favor of his father, and of furthering Nihilistic plots to this end. He was subsequently sentenced to im prisonment for life and wss confined for some time in the fortress of Dunaberg. Six months later his sentence was com muted to banishment to Tnrkiatan, where ho has been for the last two years. Ho was given some employment in di reeling the building of a canal in Turkis- tan. Last July be was placed under arrest for a short time for . interfering with the duties of the Governor of the province. Domestic Keefpes. Samp Which Bings in thk Wind.— About twenty miles south of Stillwater, Cal, on Band Springs Flat, at the foot of the mountain, there is a heap of sand about one hundred feet high and nearly a mile acrosq, whieh sings in the wind and is constantly changing. It is thrown by the wind, which there has a circular motion, into a vast round wall with a hollow in the centre half s mile across, which goes two-thirds of the way to the bottom. It ii steep and hard to climb to the trip, sad on the inside is even more steep, so steep that no one has ever dared to go down, for fear that the loose sand would slide down and bury them up. There are similar dunes on the Sandwich Islands, on the Hebrides, and on the Atlantic Coast. v , Duxvoovdhd: "Now,” said the irate mother to bar family of one boy and four, girls, who had been misbehav ing tbemaelvca, "I am going to whip you all," and she seised on Jimmie tc receive tha first inetsllmsnt of tha ahf. “la.

Number 1: 1 quart of sifted flour, s pint of sweet milk, if it is possible to have this part cream it will be .a great ;improvement, if not add a tablespoonful of melted butter. Best two eggs very ight, salt to your taste; s teaspoonful of baking powder should be mixed with the flour. The batter when done should be a little stifffer than tor griddle cokes. These should be baked st once. Num ber 2 : one quart of flour, one pint of sweet milk, two eggs, tittle melted but ter, half s teacupful of yeast, or if the compressed yeast is used, s fourth of a cake will be sufficient When light bake immediately. If the yeast U fresh these will be ready to bake in two hours after they are mixed. A way to utilize cold buckwheat cakes has been discovered by an ingenious woman. Drop a lump of butter in a frying pan, pnt the cakes in, let them brown on both sides, pour a little milk over them, and send them hot to the table, and they make an entree that' is astonishingly good. - A quickly made dessert is this : Make a batter as for common griddle cakes, then add an egg, and some fruit, either stewed or canned berries, drain the juice from them, and stir them into the batter; fry iu s little lard and serve with pudding sauce. A new way to make filling for layer cakes is to chop half a pound of blanched almonds, half s cup of raisins, and a small piece of citron very fine, sprinkle powdered sugar over them, let them stand well mixed for an honr, then put between the layers of any rich cake. .

The citizen looked upon her plethoric form, estimating the avoirdupois of the superfluous fat, and answered, “You don’tlook like a starring woman.” “J bnow it," she whiningly answered, “Pm bloated with grief." Hollow btxbl sharing, which hss ootpe very generally into use in Europe, even for such heavy work as steamship propeller.Bhafts, is found to very much lessen the weight in proportion to the decreased strength. It appears, for ex- ampie, ^hat a ten-inch shaft, with a hole fouT inches in diameter, has its weight ipdaoed sixteen per cent., with a loss of daly 2.66 per cent, of strength. Miss Mary M.

London Times a eentleman states that experiments made with a view to inves tigating the scattering of shot have con vinced him that with an ordinary gun and ammnnition there is much more scattering than people imagine; and to this fact he attributes many shooting casualties. For t^us reason he publishes the result of his experiments, with the hope that persons who use firearms will be more careful in the matter, Twbntt years aoo BiRMiroHAM, Ala., did not exist even as a village. The present site of the city was an old wom- ont plantation with a surrounding mountain wilderness. Not s dollar of capital was invested in the development of its vast storehouse of hidden treas ures. Now ail is changed. Over $20,- 100,000 capital is invested in the coal and iron district of which Birmingham is tbe centre. Ita population—abont 16,000— is increasing, and the city is growing rapidly. Stay There.—An eccentric farmer living in Ohio had a flock of sheep that bad not been shorn for six yean. The wool has grown over their eyes and is so long that it drags on the ground. On being asked why he did not shear his sheep, Mr. Sellers replied, “God pat the wool on their backs to stay there and keep them warm, and I do not pro pose to interfere.” The flock is a great curiosity, and people come from miles around to see them. Mr. Sellers never shaves, oats his hair or finger nails. In Bacrahcnto, Gal., a bather nad a /oung man arrested and brought before a justice on a charge of having offered an inault to his daughter. When the old gentleman came into court be saw that there would be difficulty in securing s conviction, and asked the Court that the proceedings be dismissed, and paid the costa. Tbe old gentleman and the defendant left the court-room together. As soon as they reached the ridowslk the old man collared the youth and gave him s terrible thrashing. Wh« he thought the boy had enough he gave him a parting kick, stepped back into the court-room and said: “Judge you wit nessed the business; how much is it worth ?” The Judge replied thst he thought $10 would be the right figure. The old gentleman paid the coin and walked briskly off to his work. POOLH, WHO WAS HANGED IN Dublin, is probably the last man who will have to pay the penalty for oomplioity in the Phoenix Park murders. His connection with the tragedy was something like ODonnell’s; he helped to kill Kenney, who wss suspected of having given in formation to the Police about the assas sination of Cavendish and Burke. We have yet to learn the fate of the other Informers who betrayed their associates in the Phoenix Park affair. The British colonies refused them a landing, and at last accounts the English Government had net found an asylum for them. Then came the excitement, about the killing of Carey, and under cover of that, they have managed to disappear. The hang ing of O’DonRell and Poole adds to their chances of'a long life, wherever they maybe. The question of bubnixo coal in wet jr dry state is still being discussed in the English journals, s large amoant of >oth theory and practical information being set forth. One writer says that, although it is generally conceded to be true that wet bituminous ooal will hot produce as large a quantity of steam in a boiler as dry ooal, there are few figures to substantiate this. The raaulta of a series of tests, msd#normtly with much are, are regarded aa having consider able weight in the determination of the points involved. It appeared that a mass of washed slack holding eighteen per o«Di of water and nine and nine- tenths per oenk of ask, evaporated five and seven-tenths pounds of water per pound of fuel, while the nine ooal, with only three per cent of water, mads from eight to eighth and five-ten tha pounds of steam; making due allowance for moisture by reducing to a standard .of like quantities of coal free from mois ture, a direct lorn of fourteen per bent, t shown in using wet ooal,.. WRECKED BY OPIUM. "I wish that I knew of some way of fateakteg myself of taking CfMm. I would be willing to go to jail—to do anything, to short, eo that I could be plnoed to oouflasment until I had n chance to oura myself of thk terrible habit. I never shell be able to do so if I am left to myself." These words were addressed to a correspondent by a man giving his name aa George Johnson, who acknowledged that ha waa a con firmed opium eater. His appearance was a startling one. Hk face had the aspeot of a haggard corpse, hk eyes were hollow and sunken, but glittered with a half-maniacal fire, while a ragged growth of short black beard and long tangled hair added to hk wretched ap pearance. Hk clothing waa old and dilapidated; a ragged coat waa buttoned np to hk chin to. hide a coarse, dirty shirt, and a straw hat, with a pair of brogan shoes, completed s costume that would answer equally well for a tramp or a footpad. Yet there was an air of refinement that clting to him with all hk rags, and hk hands, though soiled and hardened, were slender and delicate. “I am a perfect slave to opium,” he continued, “and I would hesitate at nothing to procure the drug when the desire for it k pn me. I will lie or steal I heard a friend say onoe”—here he paused and looked signifloantly at' the reporter—“that he would kill a man if necessary to get morphine, and I wouldn’t blame him. I have fallanfrom a respectable station down to what you see me, and there is no telling how much lower I will get unless I have help. The amount of morphine I can take has not, I suppose, ever been equalled. One time I^ook ninety grains, and it did not injure me. I think by gradually increasing the dose I oonld take twice as much without danger. When I can’t get enough morphine to do me any good I take crude opium or chloroform. I know you will hardly believe me when I say that in one night I used a pound of chemioaled pure chloroform by inhalation, yet it k a foci I have gone for three or four days at s time without eating, in order to buy morphine or opium with the little money 1 had. I am only twenty-seven, but I began using it when 1 was but twenty- two. At thst time I was s deacon in a Christian church; I never drank, swore or gambled. I wae then the owner of s retail drag store in Hickman, where I remained all through the yellow fever epidemic. Out of s population of 1,200 200 died, among them eight doctors, bnt I came out of it healthier than ever. When the habit took firm hold on me I commenced going down hill I lost my property — lost my health, my friends and my self-respect. I believe the knowledge of it hastened my father’s death; it has beggared me, estranged the girl to whom I wy to be married, and it will prove my death. It hangs over me like the blackest of nighti it has taken possession of my waking thought, and usurped every dream of night. The horror of my situ ation has benumbed every faculty but that of dread, and every day I grow more keenly alive to my awful condition. I would part with anything, even my mind, and be contented to live the re mainder of my life in a maniac’s cell, if I could onlv be cured,” IVar Anecdotes.

Army, in his anecdotes of the civil war gives us the following: “General Townsend was st General Scott’s head quarters when the dispatches came in announcing the rout of the Union forces in the first battle of Bull Run. In re gard to the movement, by the way, which ended so disastrously, the author says that McDowell’s plans were ap proved in detail by the President and his cabinet, and by General Boott and hk staff. Among others to whom they were submitted, General Fremont was especially asked by the President if he perceived any objection, or could sug gest any improvement; not a word of criticism, however, was forthcoming from any source, and the tmlocky pro gramme was unanimously saaotkmsd in all its features. "Amid the panic and confusion that followed the defeat, General Boott was at all events, it seems, unwavering as s rock. When reports were brought him that the rebels wore advancing unop posed on Washington, and would soon be on the Long Bridge, the old soldier would calmly lock on the informant and reply: 'It is impossible, sir! We srs npw tasting the first fruits of a war, and learning what a panic is. We mnst be prepared for all kinds of rumors. Why, sir, we shall soon hear that Jefferson Dark has crossed tbe Long Bridge st the head of a brigade of elephants, and k tramping our citizens under foot 1 He hss no brigade of elephants; he cannot by any possibility get a brigade of ele phants.’ But though Boott kept hk head, hardly anybody else did, and ‘for a tune,’ according to the author, ‘there k little doubt that had a squad of men mounted on black horses (the Virginia troop of 'Black Horse’ had been a bug bear for some weeks) appeared on tha Long Bridge or in the streets of the city, there would have been a stampede worthy of a flock of sheep,’" Saved.—A mind man crossing the street tbe other day was on the point of being run over by a reckless driver when, at the risk of her own life, a beautiful young lady ran to hk reeoue and piloted the poor man to the pavement. ▲ rich bachelor saw the transaction, and straightway sought h* out, wm intro duced, courted, proposed, wae accepted, and married the heroins, The effect has bean wonderful Hopeful young frdka may now be seen staadtof to the viehrfty of street orosslngs with one eye seafehing for stray Wind man, sod the other on the lookout for a rich bachelor, for it would be a terrible bote to taekk the oU blind man without the riah bauhelor be tog around. laid no attention to tbeae annoying troubles, attributing them to overwork, ana rwortinx to a eta* of b sr or a milk punch, whicn would for tbs Urns in vigorate and relieve my weariness After awhile the stimulants ojmmenced to disagree with my stomach, my weariness in creased, and I was compelled to resort to other means to find relief.

I stated my case toan ther physician, and be advi-ed roe to take five to ten drops of Magende's solution of morphine, two or three ti ne* a day. for the weakness and distress in my stomach, and a bins pill every other night to relieve the con stipation. The morphine produced such a deathly nausea that 1 coul 1 not take it, and tbe bine pill failed to relieve my consti; ation.

It was natural that while in this condition i should become hypoehondrical and fearful suggestions of self-destruction occasionally presented themselves.
