I hare the same old story to tell. My con duct has been such again at any rate, that 8 what father eayt; and I've had to go up stain with him, and I needn't explain what that means It seem very hard, for 1 d tried to do my very best, and I'd heard Sue say, That boy hasn't misbehaved for two days; good gracious, I wonder what can be the matter with him!" There' a fatallity about it, I'm sure. Poor father! I must give him an awful lot of trouble, and I know he's had to get two new bamboo canes this winter, just because I've done to wrong, though I never meant to do it. It happened on account of coasting. "We've got a magnificent hill. The road runs straight down the middle of it, and all you have to do is to keep on the road. There's a fence on one side, and if you run into it something has got to break. John Krugor, who is a stupid sort of a fellow, ran into it last week head firsthand smuhed three pickets, and everybody said it was a mercy he hit with his head, or he might have broken some of his bones and hurt himself. There isn't any fence on the other side, but if you run off the road on that side, you'll eo down the side of a hill steeper than the roof of the Epucopal Church, and about a mile long, with a brook full ot stones down at the bottom. The other night Mr. Travers said But I forgot to say that Mr. Martin is back again, and coming to our house worse than ever. He was there, and Mr. Travers and Sue, all sitting in the parlor where 1 was behaving, and trvine to make things pleasant, when Mr. Travers said, "It's a bright moonlight night, let's all go out and coast." Sue said, ,40 that would be lovely; Jimmy, get your sled." I didn t encourage them, and I told father so, but he wouldn't admit that Mr. Travers or Sue xr Mr. Martin or anybody ccu'd do anything wrong. What I said was, I don't want to go coasting. It's cold and I don't feel very well, and 1 think we ought all to go to bed early so we can wake up real sweet aad good-tempered." But Sue just said, ''Don't you preach, Jimmy; if you're lazy just say so, and Mr. Travers will tine us out.'' Then Mr. Martin he must put in and say, "Perhaps the boy's afraid, don't tease him; he ought to be in bed, anyhow." .Now I wasn't going to stand this, and so I said, "Come on. 1 wanted to go all the time, but I thought it would be best for old people to stay at home, and that's why 1 didn't encourage you." So I got out my doubleripper, and we all went out on the hill and started down. I sat in front to steer, and Sue eat right behind me, and Mr. Travers aat behind her to hold her on, and Mr. Martin sat behind him. "We went splendidly, only the dry snow flew so that I conldn't see anything, and that's why we got off the road ana on to the side hill before 1 knew it The hill was just one glare of ice, and the minute we strack the ice the sled started away like a hurricane I had just time to hear Mr. Marlin sav. "Boy. mind what you're about or I'll get off," when she struck something I don't know what and everybody was pitched into the air, and began sliding on the ice without anything to help them except me, I caught on a bare piece of rock, aod stopped myself. I could see Sue sitting up traight, and sliding like a streak of lightning, and crying, "Jimmy, father, Charles, Mr. Martin, U my, help me." Mr. Travers was on his stomach, about a red behind her, and gaining a little, on her, and Mr. Martin was on his back, coming down head first, and beating them both. AH of a sudden he began to go to pieces. Part of him would slide off oi;e way, and then another part would try its luck by itself. I can tell you it was an awful and surreptitious sight. They all reached the bottom after awhile, and when I saw they wer not killed, I tried it myself and landed all right. Sue was sitting still, and mourning and saying, My goodness gracious I shall never be able to walk again. My comb is broken and that boy isn't fit to live.' Mr. Travers wasn't hart very .much, and he fixed himself all right with somo pins I gave him, and his handkerchief. But his overcoat looked as if he had sto?en it from scarecrow. When he had comforted Sue a little (and I must say some people are perfectly sickening the way they goon), he and I collected Mr. Martin all except his teeth and helped put him together, only I got his leg on wrong side first, and then 1 helped him home. This was why my father said that my conduct was -such, that his friend Xartin didn't seem to be able to come into his house without 'being insulted and injured by me. 1 never insulted him. It isn't my fault if he -can't slide down hill without coming apart. However, I've had my ilast suffering an account of him. The next time he eomes apart where I am, I shall not wait to be punished for it, but shall start straight for the North Tole, and if I discover it the ißrstish Government will pay me mor'n a million dollars, I'm able to sit down this .morning, but my spiritsare crushed, and I never stall enjoy Life any more. Sentenced to be Shot Farmer O wen's ob had been found asleof when doing sentinel duty, find he wu sentenced to "be shot. A telegrr m had been received oy nis latner, saying that the sentence would be earned out in twentyfour hours. XJr. Allan, the minister, called to do what he-eould to comfort ihe sorrowing family. During his isit a letter arrived; Blossom, the fanner's little daught er, opened tba door and received it. "It is fcom," was all she said. It was like a message from tie dead. Mr. Owen took Cüe letter, but uld not break the envelope on account of Lis trembling finger?, and held it Uward Mc Allan, with the helplessaees of a child. The minuter opened it, and read as follows: "Dear Father "When this reache? you I shall be in eternity. At flc-st it seemed awful to me; but I have thought About it so much now, that it Las no terror. They say they will not bind me cor blind tne, -L'it that I may meet my death Jike a men. I thought, father, that it might have been on the battle-field for my country, and that when I fell, it would be fitghing gloriously; but to be shot down like a dog for nearly betraying it to die for neglect of duty O, father, I wonder the very thought does not kill me! But I shall not disgrace you. I am going to write you all about it, and when I am gone, you may tell my comrades. You know I promised Jimmie Carr'a mother I would look after her boy; and when he fell sick I did da all I could for him. lie was not strong wken ordered back into the ranks, and the day. before that night I carried all ' his luggage, besides my own, on our march. Toward night wa went in on a double quick, and though the luggage began to feel very heavy, everybody eile was tired too,' ' And as for Jimmio

if I had not lent him an arm now and then, he would have dropped by the way. I was all tired out when we went into camp, and then it was Jimmy's turn to be sentry and I would take bia place; but I waa too tired, father. I could not have kept awake though a gun had been pointed at my head; but I did not know it until well until it was too late." 'God be thanked" said Mr. Owen. "I knew Brnnie was not the boy to sleep careless at his po?t.' They tell me to-day that I have a short reprieve time to write to you ' our good Colonel says. Forgive him, father, he only does his duty; he would gladly save me if he could. And do not lay my death against Jimmie. The poor boy is broken-hearted and does nothing but beg and entreat them to let him die in my stead. "I can't bear to think of mother and Blossom. Comfort them father. Tell them I die as a brave boy should, and that, when the War is over, they will not be ashamed of me a they must be now. God help me; it is very hard to bear Good-bye, father. God seems near and dear to me, as if He felt surry for his poor, broken-hearted child, and would take me to be with Him in a better, better life. To-night I shall see the cows coming home lrora pasture, and precious little Blossom standing on the stoop, waiting for me; but I shall never never come. God bless you all. Forgive your poor Bennie." Late that night a little figure glided down the foot-path to the railway station. The guard, as he reached down to lift her into the carriage, wondered at the tear-stained face that was upturned toward the dim lantern he held in his hand. -

A few questions and ready answers told him all, and no father could have cared more tenderly for his only child than he for our little Blossom. She was on her way to "Washington to ask President Lincoln for her brother's liie. She had brought Ben nie's letter with her; no good, kind heart, like the President's, could refuso to be melt ed bv it. The next morning they reached New York, and the guard hurried her on to Washington. Every minute now might be the means of saving her brother's life. The President had just seated himself to his evening's task, when the door softly opened and Blossom, with downcast eyes and folded hands, stood before him. Well, my child," he said, in his pleasant, cheerful toneä, What do you want." "Bennie's life, please, sir," faltered Bios torn. .Bennie! who is Bennie?" "Mv brother, sir. They are going to shoot him for sleeping at nu post. "Oh, yes, I remember. It was a fata sleep. You see, child, it was a time ol special danger. Thousands of lives might have been lost by his negligence." "So my father said," replied Blossom, gravely. "But poor Bennie was so tired, and Jimmie so weak, lie did the work of two, sir, and it was Jimmie'B night, not his; but Jimmie was too tired, and Bonnie never thought about himself, that he was tired, too." "What is this you say, child? Come here, I do not understand." And the kind man, as ever, caught eagerly at what seemed to be a justification ot an offense. Blossom went to him. lie put his hand tenderly on her shoulder, and turned up the pale, anxious face toward his. How tall be seemed I And be was 1 resident of the United States, too. A dim thought of this kind passed for a moment through little Blossom's mind; but she told her simple straight for ward story, and banded Uennies letter to Mr. Lincoln to read. He read it carefully; then, taking up pen. wrote a few hasty lines and rang bis bIl. Blossom heard this order given: 'Send this dispatch at once." The President then turned to the girl, and said, ''Go home, my child, and tell that father of yours, who could approve his coun try's sentence, even when it took the life of a child like that, Abraham .Lincoln thinks the life far too precious to be lost. G back, or wait until to-morrow; lien nie will need a change after he has so bravely faced death; he shall go with you." ' God bless you sir!" said Blossom. Two days after this interview, the young soldier came to the "White House with his little sister. He was' called into the Presi dent's private room, and a strap was fas tened on his shoulder. Mr. Lincoln then said, "The soldier that could carry a sick comrade s baggige, and die tor the act soun complainingly, deserves well of his ccun try." Then B?nnie and Blossom took their way to their Green Mountain home. A crowd gathered at the railway station to welcome them back; and, as Farmer Owen's hand grasped that of his boy, tears flowed down his cheeks, and he was heard to say, fervent ly, " 1 be lrd be praised.' A Roy's Thought. "I suppose 111 have to le very good now, grandma, because we have this baby, lor mother won't want her to be naughty, and she 11 very likely be so if I am. So said a lillle boy," looking up very earn estiv into his grandmother's face. And every one must admit the truth of what he says, that "it is very good reasoning It is well foe the young always to reraem her that they can not be good or naughty for themselves alone; for they will always influence someone or other to be like them A Sad Change. Truth's Companivus A manufacturing population tends stead ily downward, t least to a fearfully low level. It wa long supposed that the United States were going to prove an exception in th's respect.

The greed of corporations asks only tor pronts. .o matter how low the grade of workers, provided only the work is done. The life may be early crushed out of the employed, but are not their places kept always full? The poorer and more dependent they are, the more ready they will be to let their children work in the mill w&en they should be at school, or out in the sunshine at play. If things go on as thy are aw, it is only a question of tim when the UAnufacturmg population of New England shall be as hopelessly degraded as that of Ol J England. It is evident it behooves the State to stand between the corporations and their operatives. It can limit the hours of labor for all to what is physically safe.' It can, by means of qualified and honest inspectors, keep a sharp eye on all the inherent abuses of the system. Nine billions of pins were sold in this country last year, and the young gentleman who got his arm entangled around a young lady's want swears that he knows where they all went to.

The American Sunday school Union will be fifty-seven years old on the 12th of May, and will hold its anniversary in Chicago. Lyons is a small place in New York State but the report from there is that 800 new converts have joined the Churches. The revival which has for some weeks been pro gressing still goes on. The l.T.OOO members of the Methodist Episcopal Church, raised last year, for benevolent and Congregational purposes, the sum of $13,äö2,045, which is about $8 for each member and probationer. At Mark's Creek, X. C, the Presbyteri ans support their Churches out of the pro ceeds of cotton grown on little patches of land set apart by each family for the purpose. Managed with system the plan pays well. The Irish Presbyterians are again discussing whether it is right or wrong for a widower to marry the sister of his deceased wife. They are no nearer the settlement of this troublesome question than they were when they began it, a great many years ago. There arc so few men who want to make matrimonial alliances of this kind that the discussion is a waste of time for most people The statistics of the Methodist Episcopal Church, shortly to be issued, will show that there are ninety-four Annual Conferences, an increase of three; 12.090 itinerant preachers, an increase of 400, and 1,742,023 members and probationers, a gain of 43,318. There were o9,:530 adult and 58,535 infant baptisms, there being a decrease of 3,888 adult baptisms. The total of benevolent collections was $'47,158, a gain of $102,410. Brother Kalloch, of San Francisco, recently give a Sunday evening lecture on suicide. It has been suggested, in view of the verdict acquitting the junior Kallocb, that the father should now preach on murder, his opinions on which subject could not fail to interest a San Francisco audience. The lecture on suicide was delivered during the trial of Kalloch, junior. Before beginning it Father Kalloch said: "A great number of my friends have wondered how I can preach twice each Sunday during the existence of troubles that they suppose occupy all my energies. AU I have to say is that 1 see nothing in the present state of affairs to prevent me from preaching, nor my son, for that matter, and he probably will deliver a sermon here before long." It is understood that the young man will occupy the pulpit to-day, in which event the rush for seats will be great. EXPRESSIONS. It is not what we read but what we remember that makes us learned. Young men who part their hair In the middle are losing their influence with tho fair sex. Patrick (dressing for a party) " Bedad, now, I shan't be able to get on these boots till I've worn them a time or two." Josh Billings says: ""When an ole man marries a young wife, the love in the t ransacks hun is alwuz on the one side, but the folly is equally divided." A young man who didn't like the color of his hair wrote toa chemist, asking: "What is the best dying receipt?'' The chemist wrote back: "Fool with an empty shotgun." A medical man says: "The ideas can not flow freely when the waist is squeezed." Perhaps not; but on Sunday evenings, when waist-squeezing is at its height, the young man doesn't care a cent whether the ideas flow freely or not. They only have ona idea in common at such times, anyhow. "Red as a rose is she:' Several gentlemen were standing on the corner of Galveston avenue, when one of the most fashionable ladies of Galveston passed on the sidewalk "Ahl" exclaimed one of the gentlemen, "what a complexion I There is nothing to beat it in Galveston. I am proud of that woman, I am." 'Are you her husband?" asked a stranger. ''No, sir." ''Her father, then?" "No, sir; I am no relation of her, but I am proud of her complexion. I am the druggist who said it to her. I made it myself." Galveston News. Ia First Love a Foil? Progress. "What man or woman living to-day but enjoyes the reminiscence of his or her first love happiness, though it does come unde the category of the follies of youth? And it is a folly to the extent that it so seldom proves a reality, yet withal an experience that fits one for the greater possibilities of maturer life. "We, as a rule, are not liable to wed our first loves, and, if the exception occurs, nina cases out of ten learn to regret they have taken the course out of rule, for as we love in extreme youth we worship an ideal, which as time wears on loses the glamour of bund idolatry, and displays imperfections or even latal to the anticipation of unalloyel bliss. For thii reason we ought to be thank ful, a? we often are, that Dame Prudjnce takes care of her babes in the woods. They may love in tbetr own way, bnt they jam: wait to marry, and waiting is but learning, and learning is wisdom. Heart speaks to heart, mind to mind, and they separat", he adoring elsewhere, and she los; in dreams of a future wherein her first love ha? no share, Still we must not rob first love of iti roseate tint, and that it has a wondrous power we all acknowledge, for we how we recur to it. how umeicsh it was, how absorbing and how eternal it seemed; ar.d iven n w that it is goae, and memory alone vibrates our heart strings, how sweetly it c ills us. Can you not see the grien of tte fields and the azure of the sky as they appeared to youthen? Modern love, even among young people, has somewhat changed from the primitive ideal of a first passion. There is more cal culation about it. Love affairs in these days have become more matters of science than of impulse. It has a begianing ,a second stage, and. too frenuentlv. alasl a period of de cline. Have you ever watched the progress of a truly first-class and first family and society" love affair If not it will pay you to do so, should you be fortunate enough to find yourself on time in auch a bon toa fash ionable circle. You will see a game played, analogous to chesa, for instance, deliberated! of thought,

with nothing left to chance. If there is sentiment, and there is aometimam 'twill lie where you'd least expect to find it, say the lover will tee it in the mode of his lady's coiffure, the perfume she affects, the delicate pink, polished half-moon of her fingernails, the cut of her dress, shape of her bonnet, or languor of her pose.- This diet suffices for the earliest stage of a modern lover's existence. Then coiaes a sort of artistic study; I might call this the aesthetic period, as we liye in an artistic stage. Like the Frenchman, out modern lover conquers by the most subtle flattery and the most delicate attentions. He sets a mirror before his mistress, which blots out all defects and heightens all beauties, and professes to understaRd her every motive in 6hort, becomes her own best interpreter of herself. To this spiritual devotion ia added the generosity of an adoring prince, whose favors consist of rose bouquets when roses are a mine to the florist, of theaters, operas, petit soupers and petit coupes, quiet strolls in shady nooks, or a day's recreation amid the reptse of leafy woodlands, when he smokes a cigar, and she makes a show of crenelwork. She is well dressed and he is well dressed; indeed, this couple never in any way shock the proprieties of life, and herein we find the one virtue of an alliance with little heart, much calculation, and more determined, advantageous results. In such an Aristotelian drama marriage generally follows in its course of progres-.ive development as a third stage, and then, well look at the marriages of to-day, my friend ; see how the gray will mingle with the shining locks of youth, how quickly the autumn must fallow the promises of spring and the joy of summer, how the cold, chaste moon has given place to darkness, and the speculative lover has bocome the indifferent and oft tyrannical husband. Where now is that keen knowledge of the wife's inner thoughts, the sweet flattery that appreciates her tasteful attire, and alas! where are the bouquets, the Eoupers, and the coupes? These are little trifles she may accept f.-m her geutlemen friends, who are always ready to wait upon dear old Jack's wile, and whose idea ot point d'honor is about as blunt as the sword supposed to govern their own principles of life. "Who says we are not following foreign fashions, foreign manners, and foreign morals? "Why, we are even losing the sweet experiences of love's young dream, which, according to the poets, is not always folly; "lie 1 i child and she is child, Id their kingdom there by tho sea, Bnt they love with a love that is more than love, He and hi Annabel Lee." So, be it folly or fiction, and it likely to be both, "Would we ahnn if we could? In loath I almost doot.t It! Faith I'd rather bear its sting Than have li Ted oiy ilfe without It:" First love is doubly a folly when we allow it as a frost to disturb the present If you have married Midas, and he disappoints you, and your thoughts involuntarily turn to your old love. Da Vere, remember, it may have been worse with you, while now you still have De Vere as your ideal, and Midas as a stern reality. Cheer up, dear hearts, those who are wasting away on the wreck of a broken youthful love; lile and love are still waiting for you. The moral of a story is always written by experience, and that will tell you that no affection, however small, is ever wcrthless; it teaches, even in its loss, and will also declare to you that the only love which ever endures is that coming from disciplined hearts for rational creatures, who are not the shadowy delusions of our youth, nor the idols of our own worshipful creations. Thank Heaven, we American women know little of that ferocious jealousy that so characterizes the French lover. Our women, as a rule, are faithful and our men honest, and what a Frenchman would call wisdom and knowl edge of the world, we look upon as base suspicion and jealous skepticism. He is un convinced, even if he ''finds out" nothing; he thinks only that he has been tricked, and that madame is more artful and more skillful than himself. Fortunately their women are accustomed to suspicion, and regard it as an integral part and necessity of love. They expect storms, and when they are ended laugh and shrug tehir shoulders, dry their eyes, and say, M.Mon Dieu, quel homme." They never think of resenting what we would feel as an insult, and they manage

jealousy, smooth over difficulties by flattery, aRd amuse by their wit. What would fire our pride into open rebellion but tickles their pride, and gives them an opportunity to prove their skill in taming the raging fury of their Othellos. So if first love be a folly let us cling to it as such, foster it in young hearts, and nurse its sweet memory in heart) whose beats art numbered. The illusions of life are few enough, and if the decree of fashion will permit we send in a petition to her Majesty the "Dame:" "Grant us a long life to love s young dream.w Finding Ills Speech Where He Iont It. Biddeford Times. About ix years ago Mr. LIbby. of Bux ton, went down in the Pool and went out fishing with a party. Soon after they started he bepan to crow hoarse and to be slightly pressed for breath, but he thought it was caused by dampness and fog that was rising from the water. He steadily grew worse Until he could hardly whisper. About noon the party landed on one of the inlands to cook their fish and eat their dinner, und Mr. Libby, who was standing beside the tire, found himself unable to speak. The party went home the next day, deeply deploring the condition of their friend, who showed no nigns of improvement. tor three years Mr. Libby remained in a mute state, communicating to his friends by means of a slate. Mr. Libby was prevailed ujon to go down to the rool again to go tishing, and the party with him landed on the island where three years before he had lost his speech. They built a fire and proceeded to dinner, and as Mr. Libbv was walking round after dinner he slipped on a small tone and fell on his side. When he arose he found himself able to sneak as well as lie ever could, and he continued to speak and have full power of speech until his death, which occurred about two years after üis recovery ot speech. A QaaJcra Dilemma. A I.hiladelphia anecdote forty years old. but possibly new to cold type, is told by a correspondent of the Boston Commonwealth. The subject was the venerable Lroniwell Barnard, a member of the Society of Friends, and sl.iiier of the sloon Union. of Nantucket, then being at a Philadelphia wharf. Barnard was promenading the quarterdeclc, when a schooner falling out of the dock fell afoul of the Union and the schooner's Captain began to swear vociferously. Of course it didn't do any good, and a Barnard took no notice of it, the Captain yelled in a perfectly audible voice that he was an old shad belly, prefixing a participle that is usually considered to be eminently profane. Mr. Barnard couldn't stand this, so he called down the main hatchway to the mate: "Zimri! Zimri! come on deck and talk some of thy language to this man alongside. Fresh Water Spring In tho Atlantic. ISavanaah. News. One of the most remarkable displays of natnre may be seen on the Atlantic coast, eighteen miles southeast of Kt. Augustine. Off Metanzas Inlet, and three miles from shore, a mammoth fresh water spring gar; gles up from the depth of the ocean with such force and volume as to attract the attention of all who come in its immediate vicinity. The fountain is large, bold, and turbulent. It is noticeable to fishermen and

others pajsing in mall boats along near the shore. For many years this wonderful and mysterious freak of nature has been known to the people of St. Augustine and those living along the shore, and some of the superstitious ones have been taught to regard it with a kind of reverential awe, or holy horror, as the abode of suernatural influences. When the waters of the ocean in its vicinity are otherwise calm and tranquil, the upheaving and troubled appearance of the water shows unmistakable evidences of internal commotions. An area of about half an acre shows this troubled appearance something similar to the boiling of a washer woman's kettle. Six or eight years ago Commodore Hitchcock of the United States coast snrvey was passing this place, and his attention was directed to the spring by the npheavings of the water, which threw his ship from her course as she entered the spring. His curiosity becoming excited by this circumstance, he set to work to examine its surroundings, and found six fathoms of water everywhere in the vicinity, while the ppring itself was almost fathomless. Our Alleged Centenarians. Anthony Thornton, who lives in Virginia City, is 104 years of age and still in excellent health. James Gales, a colored man. died near Urbana, O., on the 23th inst. Papers were found that placed his age at 12ö years. It is said that Mr. and Mrs. Lnke Carroll, who reside in Franklin Township, Marion County, Connecticut, are aged respectively 105 and 106 years. Hawleyville, Conn., claims to have had for a resident the oldest person in the State, in Mrs. Honora Grifling, a native of Ireland, who died in Hawleyville on Fridav, aged 104 years. For the past two years Lewis Rockwell, of Honesdale, Fa., has been a pauper. His relatives, with whom he used V) live, celebrated his centennial anniversary by turning him over to the Poormaster. Abaer Webb, of Baltimore, Md., is in his ninety-ninth year, and still hale and hearty. He was born in Connecticut, but sient most of his youth In Georgia. He has three Hons living, and a large number of grandchildren and great grandchildren. The parents of Thomas O. Keegan, who live in Mahanor City, Pa., died at the age of Hi and 108 respectivelj. His uncles all lived to be very old, one passing the century. Mr. Keegan had ten brothers ami sisters, none of whom died at less than eighty years of age. One sister reached ninety-six. Mrs. Miller, who residf at Nineteenth and Tasker streets. Philadelphia, claims to

be 105 years of age, and delights in telling now slie cooked the break last of George Washington, and put oread and butter in his sachel as he left the house and went off to fight, and gained the day. She also says that the same morning she saw him kneeling behind a thorn bush with his open Bi ble belore him, praying. At Starrucca. Pa., on Wednesdav.

I lyivc seen wolves show more boldness in the pursuit f dogs their favorite food, according to my experience than on any other occasion. Setters and retrievers are very frequently snapped up within 100 yards of the sportsman, and in broad daylight, when shooting in thick forest; and wolves will prowl round the villages at night, and come right into small towns after howling puppies. The peasants seldom show fear of them, and an old woman 1 knew ran out once, in the lightest of garments on a bitterly cold night, only . armed with a piece of tin and stick with which she struck it, shouting loud to drive off three marauders who howled under her window, whether they had come in the hopes of finding her dogs outside. Some watch-dogs, however, know the enemies, and defend themselves most bravely, and I saw a big mongrel Newfound land who showed honorable scars gained in sanguinary fights with wolves. One fine morning 1 met a young wolf trotting down the high road in such a peaceful, inoffensive manner, that I took him for a large dog, and so lost my chance of a shot by not get ting Demnd covert in time. A Noble Bed Man. IFort Smith New Era.1 ' John Chupco, Chief of tht Seminoles, one of the five civilized tribv-s of the Indian Territory, died on the 17th of February last, at t' . . 1. : l .til., c ; i t pneumonia, in his sixtieth year. John Chupco, or Long John, as his fellow soldiers in the Union Array used to call him, was born 1h Florida, and came West after the surrender of the Seminoles under Billv Bowlegs, John Jumper and other noted Chiefs . in the early part of 1.850. He waa pnncipal Chief of the Seminole Nation continuously during the last fifteen vears. and a professing Christian. He was like a father to his people, wise In the council, the friend of the widow and the fatherless, and earnest in the worship of God. When the Rebellion broke out he wisely and patriotically joined the Union forces, and served all during the war amid great suffering to his people, who were driven from their country by the Confederate forces. Physically he was one of the finest speci mens of. his race, six feet seven inches tall. straight as an arrow, and of dignified and courteous bearing. In him the people have lost one of their best friends, a wise counsel lor and a prominent man. Peculiar Fingers. lElmlra (N. Y.) Free Press. There is a well-to-do farmer living in Oramre County, near Warwick, who has a peculiar trouble every winter wij his hands. As soon as the first cold wind ernes in autumn his lingers and thumbs up to the union with the hand appear narly as white as snow, while the hands and wrists, by contrast, are a deep blood red. In winter his fingers feel like icicles; in fact, so little does the blood cir culate in them that there is but little feel ing in them. Curiously enough, while his fingers are almost bloodless his feet are always glowing with warmth, so much so that he seldom wears stockings. And one cold day the past winter, when he froze one ear and a portion of his face, and while his fingers were as rigid as marble his feet, cov ered only with his boots, were glowing with heat. J Celebrity in; Chicago. Chicago is trying in her humble way to hold second place to Cincinnati in the field of high art criticism. It happened recently that Theodore Thomas gave a concert in Chicago on the same night that Salvina acted at one of the Theaters. Instead of B lacing the tame heading ot "Music and the rama" over the two performances, as an unambitious Eastern newspaper would have done, the Chicago Times displayed in large type the stunning headline: "Tom-and-Sal."
