A few of tbe little newdgirk are well known to down-town binM men. One little Italian girl, not more than atrett or eight years obi. has a pretty little trick of her own, which very often prove egcliv in aellinga paper or twinging forth the preaent of a coin. The hurried 4etria on Xmmhi street, near Ful on, k surprked to feel a oft little han cloe upon hk linger, and when be koks down a prettbnt dirty little face k turned juuUinglr up to hk. and the child who trok along beside him kidding hk finger ak: "Pknae buy a paper. mter?,p Kren a rough man dUlikt to break awav from the gentle grasp of tbe small finger and tbe conndkig smOe and soft voice of tbe child almost invariably effects a sale.

If the victim argues tbat he already ha a paer and doe not desire duplicate, tbe girl will sav: VelI, you didn't buy that one of me. mister. Please buy one of met''1 What become of tbe newsgirk k a question almost as abstruse a tbe problem relative to tbe disappearance of pin. One who frequents the ame local i tie down-town notices the same faces year after year, until they suddenly dkappear entirely from hk observation, and others take their places. But ther never seem to grow older, and as their newspaper trade does not lead to advancement, they can not be imagined to have climbed out of sigbt on tbe ladder of prosperity. One little girl who for several rears sold papers in front of Kash dr Crook restaurant in Park Kow had snmrient resolution to tudy telegraphy in her spare nomoots, and now she holds a position as operator in tbe Western Union building. Another newsgni who came under tbe writer" notice had one of tbe opportanitbss thai are utmally offered only in Sundar-chool book, but she failed t take tbe right advantage of it. Her story k not nomteresting: About five years ago. a newspaper reporter was piasaing along Park Rw. near Ann street, m use afternoon, when be observed a particularly gloomy small boy moodily counting a few pennies at tne edge ot the gutter witn a bundle ot papers under hk arm. While he wag thus enrmsred a depraved -and raned urchin, several years older and many siaes larcer, swooped down upon him. eixed hk pennies and bolted aero the street toward the Powt-ollce. The gloomy, small bor wixed him by the coat tailsor that portion of hk' coat nearest where tbe talk would hare been if ther had not. been torn oaT and was wafted with him aero tbe street through a labyrinth of hom. wagon? and street tsrs, screaming meanwhile at tbe top of ht voice. The depraved urchin wa so much jManovtd br tbe little fellow" . attentions that he'rroceeded to confer upon him a scientific wrnsjimg. and all tne other newsooy and girts m tne vicinity became interested and came over to'observe and ad mire. But before the thrashing had been entirely administered a tattered damsel of perhaps ten or twelve years appeared noon the scene, and. from the manner of the reception, it was ob nom that ahe was a person of son reputation and importance in affair ot a similar nature. "Wot" the row?' ,be mouired, elbowing her way toward tbe center of the Utrong. A score or voices tnformed her. At the sound of her voice tbe de praved urchin jmddcnry ceased hk pu gilistic opetntions. turned pale and made a violent effort to break through the crowd. The tattered dam?el caught sight of him. 'Take my papers," she cried, handing them to a conscienceless small boy. who at once bolted and sold them at Fnlton Perry, to hk personal aggrandizement. Tbe luckless fighter made sereral fruitless efforts to get out of tbe ring ami then becan to wail in anticipation of hk approaching doom, though be was older and taller than tbe avenger. The little Am axon grasped him by the hair and delivered a Series Of rWhta . j.i?3 .... nanwera upon an vomnmmmae witn ." much fervor tbat the life-blood streamed from hk noe and hk bellowing might hare been beard six miles away, while the rroun of small spectators howled with delUrht. Havinr Mtakbed him snfficienUy. the t4tered damsel let him go and turned her attention tohk little ncttm. Tne gloomy small boy was gloomier than ever. Hk nose was also Ueedinr, ami the little rirl who had avenged him of hk adversary irodnosd a vert dirty handkerchief and sent one of her maids of honor to dip k in the drinking-fonntain. Wot was he lfekin' ye ferf she inquired, tenderly. "lie he stole mv mv money,' sobbed the little fellow. The Amaaon at once looked surageh about for tbe depraved urchin, who, I dwmin dan'r past, was stanching I the flow of blooil from hk nose near ;i nehrhboring street-lamp, bowNnr dismally tbe whiht and rsael upon by an interested throng. Seeing her again descending upon him be scresiiued. cowered and fare himself up for lost. "Where's the kid's moueyr demanded the little Amaaon, in a terrible vote. "Here 'tis." cried tbe eulnrk, curing into bk pocket. "Don't lick me no more. I'll give it to you.' Tbe Amaaon counted it and asked the small buy if R was right. Thou she turned to tbe depraved urchin and sahl: "If you ever touoh ifcaafcL Jejuni JftJtfcfcs

won't I just lice vou. thowa' Pit 1ULyou till they call an ambulance,'' The rtrporter who witnessed thk sanrinary aflTair "wrote it up" forthwith, day or two later a gilded youth ap. peared at the newspaper ottice and desired to be placed in communication with tbe writer of the atory. lie told the .reporter tbat hk aunt, a wealthy and philanthropic maiden lady, h'Jil read the tale of the chivalrous little Amaaon. and desired to see bar with a riew to adopting her and giving her an education. Therefore tbe reporter and the gilded youth went forth to seek aer. They found her ht Ann street playing jrftcb-penny with four mglted boy. Tbk aoutewhat dampened the ardor of tbe gilded youth, who decided to see hk aunt again Wore brmgiaf a gambler into the family. Thai aunt was of tbe opinion that a course of Tbe Shorter Catechism would eradicate all desire for pitehCnvfrom the child's mind and imher with a preference for sewing patch-work wherein that estimable lady made one of the greatest mistakes of her IKe. The little girl wan infatuated with the kkut of going to lire in a fine house, and her parents, who had half a douen more children, were easily persuaded that it would be to her advantage. Tbe philanthropic lady took the ebild home, and she weehred a bath and a now outfit of clothing. For the tftnt day she was perfectly hppy with her doik; and but for 'the fact that she brought in a strange dog from the street and organized a fight between that animal and her benefactress' favorite eat in the parlor, her conduct was exemplary: The next morning she bad to be washed by main force, and before night he was pining for the Mreet and her old acquaintance). The following day she was inUerabk in spite of all attempts to aiu.4e her, and at night sba escaped, exchanged her dreM in a cellar in Ann street for one that allowed greater opportunities of ventilation and joined bier old companions. Sbn was twice taken back, and tbe last time she remained a month, but her spirit was too wild to lie tamed, and at present she k selling papers at the Brooklyn Bridge entrance. Her case U an extrordinary one, however, for numbers of little girk who have been taken from the street have grown up to respectability when adopted into comfortable homes. Many of these children earn enough to help out the domestic finances considerablv. One little girl ten years old, who H?lf papers in Park row told the writer that she made fifty cents forae days, and that she was enabled to pay her own tuition at a parish school, besides helping her mother. She is one of eight small children of a bricklayer who lives in a tenement bouere in 0k street, and he reads and writes remarkably well. But it k a hard life the little ones lead, and he who heeds tbe timid appeal: "Please buy a paper," may always feel that he 'has, not squandered hk money, even if he i&ould tell the -maU girl to keep the change from bk dime or nickel. .V. JT. 3avn. A NOVEL ORGAN. 9flBaV Mnt$9hi lfi) a9ttMv J HJpMMt t Wr(9 3fltCHaCl &t tit f HmR Threat. One of tbe greatest novelties shown at tbe Franklin Institute Exhibition in Phlladelphta k tbe vocalian organ. It has followed the process of producing sound which k peculiar to the vocal organs of men and animak, and by thk method great sonority, purity and strength are obtained by more compact means than those employed in the pipe organ. In tbe vocalian organ the wind k conducted into the wkwf chest, which represent the human lungs, by a wind trunk from the bellows below. Leading out from thk chest k a throat, resembling the trachea, and a short dktance within and across the throat is a peculiar reed, which performs the saws function as tbe vocal chord in the human throat. The ound produced by tbe vibration of the reed meets with a contraction a little distance further within the throat similar to that at the fauces, whence it enters into the mouth cavity. For low notes there are large' throats and reeds and months a foot square and for high notes proportionately short throats and small reeds and mouths. In each mouthcavity k a round bole, corresponding to the nasal opening of tbe human subject and performing tbe same function for tbe vocalian that the nostril does for the man, assisting the vibration and modifying or improving the quality of the sound emitted. Economy of space k one of the advantage of the vocalian organ, the equivalent of eight hundred notes or pipes being packed in a compass not much larger than an upright piano. The instrument has three banks of keys two and a half octaves of pctlals ajd twenty stops by means of which the sounds of all the instruments commonly imitated on nine orrans can be reproduced. The ad vantages claimed by the vocalian organ k that it remains in perfect tune. Pipe orrans beini subject to the influence of changes of temperature, their plteh va ries wttn neat or com. antt to tne re fined ear they are seldom in perfect tune. The merit claimed for tne vocalian k that certain of its stops are even finer than anv known to the nine or gan, ami that in the matter of power it m equivalent to the trine-orran. excent in the heavier bass notes, which, in the inventor's opinion, do not require a greater volume than that of the vocalian.

The Sclavonic race which now play to important H role in the drama of tbo nineteenth century first appeared on thu stage of Kurope in the sixth century, when they madn their first incursion Into the Roman Rmpire, and after bs ieging Byaantium made a league with the Emperors of the East. The new enemy which thus meuaoed the Empire same from Scytbkw and, following the Byaantine policy, tbe angs ware conciliated rather than fought, and tbe Kingdom of Servia conceded to them. The Sclavs were and are a fighting race. They spread themselves over tbe south and east of Europe, and they number at the present day fully a hundred million souk. Curiously enough, there is but one purely Sclnvie reigning family, that of Mecklenburg, for the Romanoffs are German and the family of King Milan may or not be anything, for lie k but three generations from a Dsnubian swineherd. Ancient Servia comprised Sclavonia, Croatia, Servia, Bosnia and Dalmatia, Bulgaria and Macedonia. It was erected under Stephen into an Empire, the imerial double eagle was blazoned upon its banners and a strong feudal nobility grew up in the laud. At the fatal battle of Kassava tiie Sultan A nut rath destroyed the Servian power in 1889, and his successor, Bajaxet, overran thu country, making it subject to the Porte. In 1801, under the load of Kara George, or Black George, a bandit and marauder, the Servians made a desperate struggle for liberty, only to be crushed finally in 1813. Milosch Oberonovitch took up the light and in 1828 he. was recognized by the Sultan as Prince of Servia. The present King is a grandson of the brother of Milosch. He was born in Jassy in 1854. He was educated in Park and called to the throne upon the assassination of hk cousin, Prince Michael, in Belgrade, in 1868. Milan married in 187.5 the daughter of a Russian Colonel named Keschko. Milan is by no means firmly planted upon the Servian throne. There is a strong pretender in the erson of Karageorgeowitch, the grandson of Kara George, who has a strong following: in the state. The Servian Legislature consists of two houses, the Senate, for whom members are named by the King, and the Skoupschina, which contains one member for every two thousand voters. Its powers are the same as those of the House of Representatives. The necessities of the case hare forced Servia to pay special, attention to its army, and there is probably not a better armed and disciplined force of its size in Europe. The military school at Belgradu has a continental reputation, and the forces of the kingdom are made up of good sclavic stock, ably officered. Servia has few large towns. Belgrade k the largest and the most famous, not by reason of its commerce or beauty, but because of the tremendous fighting of which it has been tbe scene for four centuries past. The best blood of Europe washed the ramparts of "high Belgrade" during the sixteenth, seVenteenth and eighteenth centuries. It was for years the high water mark of the Turkish flood. Few cities in tbe civilized world have undergone so many slegef , or can point to so many heroic defences. A sinsrular feature of the soeml state of Servia is seen in the character of their villages. which arealwys stretched over a lare tract, and newr nestled clo.e together as in otlmr countries. Villages con sisting of lorty nouses occupy a territory ten miles square. Agriculture k in a very primitive condition, and society k based upon the patriarchal idea. The people build their own houses, make tbeir own furniture and weave their own clothes. The great majority of the population are members of the Greek Church, although they acknowledge leadership neither in the Patriarch of Constantinople nor in the Rus sian Church. They follow the ancient rites, and the ceremonies resemble olosely those of the Jewish Church. In the cathedral at Belgrade this similarity is noticed more closely than elsewhere. Hebrew music is 'used, and a scarlet veil covers the holy of holiee, while the priests affect the costumes and beards of the Oriental Churoh. St. Louis Republican. u QUICK IN RESOURCE. Tact a Mere KaVetlve WeapeH Than Gun or Sword. Tact is sometimes as affective as force of arms, in an emergency, and the man who is quick-witted may find himself at an advantage over the one who is merely strong-armed. The history of Kansas, during its most troubled period, furnishes many an instance of rapid thought and clever resource. When, in 1868, the town of Lawrence was destroyed by bushrangers, and many inhabitants murdered, the heroism and tact of the women of the besieged spot were signally exhibited. Four of the attacking wretohes, crazed by drink, rode to a hotel in the town, declaring that they would shoot soato one, no matter whom. A yoiing woman immediately offered herself as a victim, coolly remarking: "They might as well kill me,11 an act of during which temporarily arrested their designs. Another woman whose husband wan particularly obnoxious to the hushrangers gave him opportunity to escape by noticing that the leader of the ganr uciaucii to miooi uini, auu uuru nis house, wore a rlower in his hat. "Good-morning," she said, cheerfully. "You have come to see mv flowers" The yard was full of thorn. "Tkey are fine!" said the man looking about, with evident admiration.

I was early, the train would not start for some time, and I tried to reconcile mysolf lo patient waiting in the warm depot, where the cars stood. I had just begun to feel drowsy when I was roused by a gentle voice near me, saying: "That is the sunny side. You had better sit here." "I'll go in here," a joung voice answered. And I saw the mother and daughter, one tender and anxious at sending her child away alone, though it were for pleasure; the other, eager and impatient at anything which seemed like direction or guidance beeause, was she not old enough to go on her little journey alone? "That is the sunny side, dear," the mother repeated, gently. "I don't care! I like it," the young girl answered, rather fretfully. So the kind mother put down the parcels which she had carried upon the scat by her daughter, helping to arrange everything comfortably. When all was nicely fixed, the young girl's face began to brighten. She was anticipating a pleasant time. I could sec that in every look and action. She was not one of those seemingly fortunate young people who go to the seaside and mountains, as a matter of course, caoh summer, and have so much change and pleasure that the chief joy of looking forward k taken from them! No, this young girl's little vacation trip was the result of much planning and thought, some effort and self-denial, too, on the part of the affectionate mother. I could read it all in their faces, as the daughter's became bright again after her moment of impatience and fretfulness. I could imagine, just how the loving mother had .saved and economized had deuied herself, perhaps, some little treat so that her daughter might go away feeling "like other girk," on this little visit: 1 oouiu see now tney bad brought the one pretty new dress, and "fixed over" the old ones how the becoming little hat had made the girl's heart glad, and how, one after another, the ribbons and gloves and all the Ketty things, which a girl likes, had en added and packed carefully in the modest trunk. Ah, girls! perhaps you sometimes wish that you were rich, and could have all your longings gratified have everything that you care for, without any trouble or waiting! But you do not know how much real pleasure you would miss by remaining rich. To gain a thing, after patient and earnest effort, is more of a pleasure than to get it without any trouble. The little "extras," which come from economy and care, are much more valuable titan if they cost you nothing. A week of vacation, for which you have waited and planned, is worth more than a whole season to those who can go just when and where they please! Even the dear mothers enjoy their self-denials and labors for your sakes as I could see this mother did. No! do, not wish to be rich! But wish only and pray that you may be grateful to these dear parent who make such efforts for your happiness! As her mother began to speak the farewell words I could see how the ffirPs heart grew tender and sorry or the impatient words she had uttered. "Be sure to write to tne, dear, as soon as you get there." "Yes, mother, I will." And many another loving mocjage and reply were whkpered between them, so that I could not hear. But 1 could not resist the desire to watch over the top of my magazine that girl's face ae the good feelings all came back to her heart, and she regretted every fretful, impatient word she had efrer spoken to her mother. She was going to enjoy herself to have such a happy time! Mother was Soing back home to work on, every ay, just as usual, without any change or vacation i One after another, all that mother's loving deeds and words came to the daughter's memory all the effort so cheerfully made; all the long evenings spent in patient sewing ami preparation of her pretty wardrobe! And had she even Onco saW: "Thank you, mother"? Not once! it is so easy for girls to take such things, as a matter of course; so easy to neglect the little words ol gratitude which should make mothers heart glad! This girl' s face waa very fair to look upon as all these gentle feelings and memories came to her heart These are the things which make a girl pvetty, and this is the true beauty that neither age nor poverty can erer take away. Her bright eves rested fondlv on tba tdear molher'a face, and her reef- X

emrred with a Mttk sorry toudetaoat at abe noticed bow thin and etolknto mother were going in her place! There was no more fretfulaesa ae me many careful last words were spoken to her; but she listened and aaswered all with smiling readiness. She kksed her mother good-bye, aad then watched her as abe left the car. The people were erowdiay in; the ket busy, bueilUtg minutes were rapidly passing. Yet nothing attracted thk young girl until she bad watched, wkh her head leaning from the window, and given a last loving Mnile and nod to the mother she was leaving. Then the bell sounded, the passengers settled themselves in their seats, and the tram steamed away from the depot. When I looked again at the young girl who bad' so interested me aJt the eager look of expectation was shining in her face tbe thought of the happy days before her, the long hours of summer sunshine, and tbe joys they would bring her in the home ef the kind friends who were te meet her at her journey's end. She was relieved, too, I knew, tbat time had been given her to make seme little atonement for her impatience, to say pleasant words and give pleaeent a miles to her mother before she left her. But I wanted to say to her, ae I say to yoK now, my young friends, that it k far better not to give yourselves th mtd for making any such atonement or expression of regret- Cheek the hasty, impatient words which come se readily! Think of that wondrous lore which your parents bare for you, which leads them to make many sacrifices, constantly, for your sakes. Receive all their admonitions and counsel with respect and oheerfulness. Never allow yourselves to be fretful or rose at their warnings and care for you. As the train carried thk young girl from her loving mother, I thought to myself: "It may be that she will never see her again!" There will oome a time, te many ef you, when that dear mother-face will pass from your sight for all the rest of your life on earth. Ah, then, happy will you Ik if you have no unkind or fretful words to remember, ne impatient actions to make your hearts ache when it k too late to" offer any atonement! Think well of thk, boys and girk! The little incident in the oars k a real one, and I have written it for your good JemiU Ilurrien, in Ji, T. Obserwr. "NANNIE." A Trae Mety aT the MWaebleTwat fiaaaac a Deattejr, Leo Fryer ami Jennie Cleveland were two little Engikh girls. Leo's real name was Leonora, but theyealkd her Leo "for short." These two littk girk were great friends; they were both tbe same age, lived in tbe same town and went to tbe same school. I wonder how many little girk who read thk storv have a donkev! Well, tney are just the funniest lk tie creatures, with long ears and shaggy coats. And I am very sorry to say they are like some littk girk aad boys, in that they hare very strong wills ef their own, and when they make up their minds not to do a thing, it k next to impossible to make them do it. Donkeys are not so often country as they are in England, where Jennie and Leo lived. There they nee them to ride upon as we de ponies here. Now Jennie had a donkey, and that donkey's name was Nannie, and every morning Leo and Jennk rode to school, one behind the other, on Nannie's back. When they reached the sehool and both had jumped off, Nannie would run across the green all alone to the stable, where she stayed till the littk girk were ready to go home. One beautiful day early in May, when the yellow primrose were m blosom; Jennie and Leo were riding home at noon-time as usual. They were brimming over with fun and laughter, as two happy little girls are apt to be. Nanny was jogging along as she was in the habit of doing, seemingly intent on no mkehkf, when suddenly, without the slightest warning, she threw down her head, kicked up her heck, and almost before they knew it, Leo and Jennk were in the hedge beside the lane which they were riding through. Fortunately it was only a hedge, where there were neither rocks nor stones, or our little girk might have been seriously hurt; as it was, they picked themsefves up and laughed until they could laugh no more. As for naughty Nannie, she had taken to her heels and was nowhere to lie seen. However, when ther reached home, Miss Nan was quietly graaing in the field as innocently ae though she had done nothing wrong. 1 ant glad to be able to tell you that Nannie was never naughty again, and day after da rode Leo and Jennie to and from school like a good donkey. Jennie and Leo are now women grown, with the wide ocean stretching its billowy waves between them, but a letter from the "dear old hone" telk Leo that Nannie still graze in the fields as of yore, though she k no longer able to bear a burden. rfsrfsAetMHIe A Navel Aseeciatkm.
