    Yellow Roses.
Us tho "old, old story" of youth and maid,
Inro memory's chasms, re-echoing low.
Of rich yellow roses a cluster he sent
In the long ago In the long ago.
A wee, dainty note in his heart lay hid
'Mong the buds concealed, like a fairy
sprite.
"At the ball," it read, "if with me you'll wed.
Wear a rose to-night wear a rose to-night."
Bewildered by light, by sound and sight.
With nascent hope bis spirit glows.
Now the heart beats fast, for she comes at
last;
But alas! no rose alas, no rose!
Without one word, unseen, unheard.
With smothered sigh and downcast eye;
With a check that burns and n heart that
breaks.
Ho passes by ho passes by.
With a breast that throbs and a brain on fire;
With a bated breath and a sudden start.
Her lover's "good-night" to the host she
hears.
Like a knell at her heart like a knell at
her heart.
Years many havo flown, o'er oceans un
known, Tho roaming he crcr remembers that day:
"Lang Syne" is sweet, onco more they meet.
Their locks arc gray their locks are gray.
' Tis a fancy interred in the tomb of our
years.
Youth has ever," he muses, "for age a
charm,"
So be tells ber at last, for the tempest is past.
And his heart is calm his heart is calm.
"Golden roses, as rich.as the oriolo's wing.
That day on my heart is engraven," cries
she;
"Buttheuote'mongthc roses, so carefully
hid.
Was no'cr seen by mc ne'er seen by me."
Then she lifts with care from a "casket
rare,"
Oft sunned by smiles, ort bedewed by tears.
The yellow roses, still treasured by love.
Thro those weary years turo those weary
years.
Silken corn of the sky's lightest blue she un
ties. Like a gem in the earth at the cluster's
core
Rests the dainty, triangular, sweet-scented
note.
Never found before never found before.
Ah! there's many a wreck on time's rough
ecu.
That tho world knows not shall never
know
And there's many a heart guards its faded
rose
Of the long ago of the long ago.

THE LOST RING.
Next to our own homestead my Kes
trel House. No farm-land was attach
ed to it. It was simply a park and gar
dens, built for a rich man's pleasure;
and in its midst stood a fountain, bund
ing over which a stone mermaid comb
ed hercarven hair with a carven comb,
using the basin for a mirror.
There had been a time when :l.e
water arose and played in showers all
over the mermaid's head and shoulders,
ran down her tresses and dripped over
her hands. Those who had seen it said
it was a pretty sight; but the machinery
was out of order, or, perhaps, had
been turned oil", ami it played no
more.
The house, handsome and picturcs-
3ue as it was, was all shut up; the win
ows barred and the doors fast; moss
covered its stone steps anil balustrades,
and the Mowers were all gone, save such
hardy bushes as took to a wild life
kindly, ami bloomed a little every
year.
"1 wonder they don't live here, the
people who own this place," my young
Uncle Morris used to say when he" spent
his vacation with us. "It's a jolly old
place; it's a shame it should stand like
that."
And then my mother would say:
'Something very dreadful happened
there years ago."
I hail heard that before. It was a
story I was not to hear, and I wondered
why.
All my uncle's vacation I trotted
about with him. and as he was fond of
fishing I took to lishing too. He gave
me a rod and line, and taught mc how
to put on bait and we used to go to a
line stream a long distance oil" and fish
together.
1 never caught anything, but he as
sured mc that I would some day, and
I felt very manly as I trotted away,
beside him with my rod over my shoul
der. The not always welcome care of my
mother and aunts relaxed, and I heard
it said that Ned was sure to follow
Morris everywhere, and to come home
quite safe.
My uncle's vacation was a very happy
time to me. When it was over a change
came. Feminine rule began once more.
I was forbidden to go to the river-sido
lest I should be drowned; and my
rambles were limited to our own prop
erty and the deserted park of Kestrel
House.
After his return to college my uncle
often wrote to mc. and 1 was careful to
reply, hunting up the big words in my
little dictionary, but it was humiliat
ing to confess that I was considered too
small to go a-fishing in the river.
However, one day an idea came into
my head which enabled me to obey my
relatives, and yet indulge in the sport
I knew my uncle thought so much of.
I resolved to fish in the basin of Mer
maid Fountain in Kestrel Park, and ac
cordingly I carried my rod and line
there. The first day I had better luck
than usual, ior I
frojr.
camrht a small green
I looked at him a moment, reflected
that his frog mother might be anxious
about him, and put him back in the
water; and I mentioned this in my let
ter to Uncle Morris, who replied that
there was no knowing what I might
catch next; but I caught nothing mora
But one autumn morning, when all
the red leaves were falling and floating
over the basin like little fairy boats, I
realized the fact that it was growing
too chilly to sit with pleasure beside the
fountain waitingfor a bite.
"Oh!" I thought, "if I could catch
something now, this last time! Some
thing to write to uncle about!"
Ami just then the little lloat bobbed
up. I had, perhaps, at last hooked a
lish.
Delighted. I carefully drew up me
line. Something glimmered upon the
hook. It was not a lish. However, I
hastened to detach it, and found it to
be a very handsome cluster diamond
ring.
Ignorant of its value as I was at that
time, I could not but admire it, it spark
led so brilliantly. There was no mini
at the bottom of the spring.only shining
white pebbles. It was perfectly clean,
therefore, after its bath, whether that
had been long or short.
"I'll give this to mamma," I said,
speaking aloud in ny astonishment,
and ashamed of having done so wheu
I heard the sound of iny own words,
because it was "like the baby." But
the next moment someone answered
mc
"You have found my ring," a voice
said in my car; "yon have found my
ring. At hist, at last, thank Heaven!"
1 turned.
The afternoon was drawing to a
close; the park was grey with shadow,
and misty with the autumn air; and
the figure of a woman near me seemed
misty, too a figure dressed in white,
with pale hair hanging to its waist in
curls, and a face that I could barely sec
was fair and delicate.
"Of such is the kingdom of Heaven,"
she whispered. "Child, take the ring
toMarmadukc KestreL Tell him that
Agnes did not lie. Tell him you found
it in the Mermaid Fountain. Tell him
Her voice grew faint She was gone.
Who is she? Where did she go? I
was vaguely terrified, and clutching the
ring, tightly in one hand, I began to
run, but looking over my shoulder to
see if she was following me, I stumbled
andfelL
Someone picked me up. It was old
Marmaduke Kestrel himself.
Sometimes I had seep t-:--"-
sadly through the park by himself,
though he lived a long ilit:iiu:fuff at
a hotel, and was ottcn abroad. Travel
ing for his health, people said.
"What is the matter, little one?" he
said. "Have ou hurt yourself?"
"No." I said. "The'lady frightened
me. She was she seemed to go out
like a candle. She said it was herring;
but she did not take it. She said 1 was
to give it to you, and say: 'Agnes did
not lie' Is she Agnes? Does she
always look like that? What did she
mean?"
Mr. Kestrel sat dowu upon the stone
scat beside the fountain, and held me
by the arms, and stared into my face.
"Tell me what you mean, bov," ho
said.
"I was fishing in the basin of the
fountain there," said I. "and I thought
I bad caught a trout, but it was no fish
at all, but a beautiful, shining ring.
See!"
I held it out to him as well as I could
with his grasp upon my arms, and he
let go of me and took it from ma Ho
peered at it curiously, and said:
"Your eyes are young. Read what is
engraved on the inside, child."
And with much paiti3, for it was
growing twilight, I spelled out these
words:
"To Agnes, from Marmaduke, 18 .'"
Then he took it from me again and
said:
"Go on."
"I thought it was a pretty ring," I
said, "and I would give it to mamma.
And then there was a lady there by
the fountain, fair, with long, light
curls, but like smoke or mist I could
not help being frightened, and she
said:
" 'It is my ring. It is found at last,
thank Heaven!' and words that Jesus
said in the Bible and then, 'Give it to
Marmaduke Kestrel and tell him you
found it in the fountain, and Agnes
did not lie.' Was she Agnes?"
He answered, "Yes," and stooped
down and kissed me, and went his way,
taking the ring with him, and I ran
home to my mother and told her the
story. She was frightened. She held
mc close.
"What was she, mother?" I ask
ed. "I do not. know," she answered. "It
is in our family to see strange things.
Perhaps you have seen one of them. Do
not talk about it. and say your prayers
to-night very carefully."
An hour or so after this my father
drove home lrom the nearest town in
his light trap.
"Something happened at ihe notel
this evening.'" he said. "Marmaduke
Kestrel is dead. He came back very
pale after a walk in Kestrel Park, they
think; and a fall was heard in his room
soon after. They found him on the
Hour beside his desk, already dead; but
lie had written on a paper words nearly
like these:
" 'I have doubted the purity of the
sweetest woman who ever lived. I Ail
them bury me near the fountain in Kes
trel Park, with the ring I wear upon 1113'
finger, and write iioii 1113' stone these
words:
" ' "To the memory of Agnes, moit
faithful and beloved wife of Marma
duke Kestrel, whose body lietii here, but
whose soul hath gone to ask pardon of
her he wronged in thought tor twenty
bitter years." ' "
And my mother, with a cry, clung
to his arm and told him my strange
story.
"What does it all mean?' I asked.
"Who was Agnes? What did Mr. Kes
trel do to her? What was it I saw in
the park? Was it a ghost?"
But my mother put her hand over my
mouth, and my father told me that there
were strange tilings and wicked stories
in this world that children could not
understand, but that Agnes Kestrel was
said to have died of a broken heart be
cause her husband was cruel to her,
and thought she had given away a ring
she swore .-lie had lost.
Afterwards 1 understood what this
story might be; but I cannot explain to
myself what it w:is that happened in
Ke&lrcl Park any more clearly than I
understood it in 1113' childhood.

Ifor the Animals at Lincoln Park Take
the C0I1I Weather Attempted Sui
cide. The effect of the recent sudden change
in the weather was nowhere more
noticeable than among the animals at
Lincoln Park. Those of them which
come from cold climates and delight in
frosts and chilling winds seemed great
I3 pleased with the change. The sea
lions have not been so actiie for months
as they were the other day. Bright and
early they were out splashing around
in the little lake which surrounds their
cave of rocks. Later they ate their
breakfast with apparent relish, and then
started out for a game of tag which last
ed for two hours.
"They don't like the warm weather
aud uiwa3s brighten up when it turns
cooler," said their keeper. "I think
an unusually long stretch of warm
weather would kill them. Sometimes
during the middle of summer they don't
cat regularly, and seem distressed. A
day like this puts them on their legs, or
rather, their fins, 'cause thev ain't jrot
legs."
The big polar bear, which has spent
hours aud hours during the summer sit
ting on a cake of ice and meditating,
was scrambling around yesterday in a
manner which showed that he had de
cided to take a more hopeful view of
life. The smaller bears, which had
pushed him around the last few months
before because he was too laz3 to knock
them away, were very much surprised
when he knocked a saucy cinnamon
bear half way across the den with a
swoop of his left paw. The keeper was
leaning over the iron fence when this
occurred and it made him laugh hcarti-
"Give it to him. Jack," he shouted.
"You've waked up now for the rest of
the 3car. Give the black fellow a sloog
behind ye."
Sure enough, big Jack turned quickly
and sent the inquisitive black bear
spinning head over heels.
"He's suffered dreadfully from Ihe
hot weather." resumed tho keeper.
Somc days he was an awful sight, sit
ting on a cake of ice, with his big red
tongue a-hansin' out I had to watch
him pretty sharp for fear he'd get a
sunstroke. If the hot weather had last
ed a week longer I'd had to get a barrel
of ice-cream for him, even if J paid for
it myself.
"Does he like ice-cream? Well I
should say he did. One day last sum
mer a young lady let fall a paper box
filled with it into the den. Jack got it
It beat honey all hollow, ana was
the greatest invention he'd ever struck."
The prairie dogs did not seem to care
a rap whether the weather was warm or
cold. They dodged in and out of their
holes with all their accustomed brisk
ness. The raccoons, badgers, wolves,
and foxes all enjoyed the cool wave,
and for the first day in two months kept
their tongues inside their months for an
hour's stretch.
The other side of the.. case was the
feeling geuerated in th nwnirait o.-
All the hairy little inhabitant had
chills, and altogether the3 were so mis
erable that they looked like a group of
condemned anarchists. The saddest
case of all was the little blue-nosed ba
boon from middle Africa. He shook
and shivered all the morning, whining
piteously. At 1 o'clock, having shaken
hands with all his companions, he
created a sensation by tiying to commit
suicide. In the cage was a pail of
water. With a parting shudder he sud
denly plunged his head into the pail
and held it there. The rest of the mon
keys set up a yell which attracted the
attention of a keeper, who rushed to
tbc cage. The suicidal baboon would
have uudoubtedly succeeded in taking
his own life before the keeper got to
him, but just as he was about to make
his last kick a big prehensile monkey
let himself down from a bar aud pulled
the little fellow out of the pail. Chica

AN ALASKAN G LAC IE It
A River Stopped Short and Turned to Ion
In Its Alabaster Bed.
Picture to yourself a vast river, two
or three miles in breadth, pouring down
from the eminence of au icy peak thirty
miles away a river fed by numerous
lateral tributaries that flow from every
declivity. Imagine this river lashed to
a fury and covered from cud to end,
fathoms deep, with foam, and then the
whole suddenly frozen aud fixed for
evermore that is your glacier. Some
times the surface is stained with the
debris of the mountain; sometimes the
bluish-green tinge of the ancient ice
crops out; generally the surface is as
white as dowu and very fair to look
upon, for at a distance we were about
eight miles from the lower edge of it
the eye detects no flaw. It might be a
torrent of milk and honc3. It might
almost be compared in its immaculate
beaut3 to one of the rivers of Paradise
that flow hard by thu throne of God.
It seems to be moving in majesty, and
yet is stationary, or nearly so, for we
might sit b3 its frozen shore and grow
gra3' with watching and even our dull
e3es could detect no change in even a
ripple of it A river of Paradise, in
deed, escaped from the gardens of the
blessed, out overcome by tho squalor of
this little globe it has stopped short and
turned to ice in its alabaster bed.
One evening about 8:JU o'clock and
the sun still high above the western
mountain range we found ourselves op
posite the Davidson ('lacier. It passes
out of a broad ravine and spreads fan
like upon the shore under the neighbor
ing cliffs. It is three miles in breadth
along the front and 1,200 feet in height
when it begins to crumble and slope to
ward the shore. A terminal moraine a
mile and a halt in depth separates it
from the sea. A forest, or the remnant
of a forest, stands between it and the
water it is 8I0WI3' but surety approach
ing. The fate of this solemn wood is
sealed. Anon the mightiest among
these mighty trees will fall like graiu
before the sickle of the reaper. We
were very near this glacier. We saw
all the wrinkles and fissures and the
deep discolorations. We saw how the
monstrous mass wound in and out be
tween the mountains, and crowded
them on every side, and rubbed their
skins off in spots, and left grooved lines
like high-water marks along the face of
the cliffs; how it gathered as it went
and ground to powder and to paste
whatever cams within its reach, be
coming worse and worse and greedier
and more rapacious as it creeps down
into the lowlands, so that when it
reaches the sea, where it must end its
course and dissolve away, it will have
covered itself with slime aud confiuiou;
it will have left ruin and desolation in
its track, but it will likewise have cleft
out a valley with walls polished like
brass and a floor as smooth as marble;
one that will be utilized in after ages,
when it has carpeted itself with green
and hung its walls with the tapestry of
its vine. Surety no other power on
earth could have done the job so neatly.
One sees this work in process and in
fresh completion in Alaska. The bald
islet yonder, with a surface as smooth
as glass and with delicate traecry along
its polished sides tracery that looks
like etching upon glass was modeled
by claciers not so verv main years ago;
within the century, some of them, per

glacier we are seeking, followed this
track and ground them all into shape;
every angle of action, of motion shall I

IDEAL EYES.
An Old rhlloRopher'rt Opinion of Different
Colored Optics.
"Character reading by the color of
the C3cs is a comparatively new study,
but is steadily gainiug in favor," said
an old gentleman the other day as he
sat on one of the benches in Madison
Square and watched the hurrying throng
go by.
"I've been studying eyes for the last
half-cciituiy," he continued, "aud I can
teil you that blue e3es, and brown eyes,
and green eyes, anil all the other kinds
were not made for nothing. They were
colored to assist people in read iue the
character of their owners, and a little
knowledge of what the different colors
denote will be found of great assistance
iu iifo."
"What do you consider tho most
beautiful eyes?" was asked.
"Well, they're very scarce," said the
old gentleman, letting his eyes wander
over the half-dozen faces before him.
"Not one here has cot the ideal eve.
It's a perfect violet or a velvet brown as
soft and gentle as a doe's. Violet eyes
are ver rare. I don't mean deep blue
eyes, but genuine purple eyes. Babies
have them sometimes, but I've only
seen one or two women with them, and
never a man. They denote too perfect
a character for that gentleness, intelli
gence, devotion, and boundless faith.
Those virtues aren't often found in one
person.
"Brown e3cs? Yes, they are plenti
ful, and physically perhaps the most
beautiful e3:e in the world. I think they
come next to violet e3es when they are
light enough to read feeling iu them.
Dark browu eyes are too deep. They
seldom mirror the heart feelings, but
are fine to look at"
"Gray i'3es are the most common in
the world;. so what in general do they
characterize in the opiuion of the eye
ologist?" asked a youth with a pair of
blue-gray orbs.
"Well, there are a hundred different
kinds of gray eyes, 30U know," said the
old gentleman. "Yours are one kind,
mine another. People haven't become
advanced enough to have more than
four or five colors to apply to eyes; so
any that aren't blue, or black, or brown,
or hazel arc called gray. You seldom
sec a real stupid person with gray eyes;
but the genuine gray that is always
found among highly intellectual people.
Steel-gra3 eyes with large pupils denote
intense feeling; blue-gray eyes are gen
eral among people with kindly hearts.
You never find a real mean spirit be
hind a pair of blue-gray eyes.
"I've made a study of real blue eyes,"
he continued. "They denote quickness
of thought, and generally fine physical
development, wheu thev arc large and
bright. About nine-tenths of our engi
neers, railroad brakemen, light-house-keejxjrs,
policemen, cadets, and army
and navy officers, and many others
selected tor physical perfection, have
blue eyes. Very few blue-eyed people
are color-blind or near-sighted.
"Hazel eyes denote musical ability
and grace of x!rson. Thoy are very
prctt) eyes too, ami then there are real
green oyi-s. They ant not no scarce as
is generally ii:q.iisi-d; but I haven't
made a close --tii.ly of t limn, or of yellow
eyes eilher. I h.vir I lie latter ant -rery

Secretary Itttimey' Adventure
Sergeant.
Here is an anecdote, writes
With
a corre-
spondent of the AUa I'nhfornian, which
I recalls an episode occurring to one of
I Secretary Eudicott's predecessors of the
I war portfolio. Secretary Ramsey of
j Minnesota. During the incumbency of
tiie latter gentleman lie indulged m a
trip down the Potomac river one after
noon on board Admiral Porter's splen
did steam 3-acht Falcon. Neariug Fort
Washington, some littee'n miles distant.
Secretary Ramsey expressed a desire to
inspect the once-famous fort, then, as -
now, in dismantlement, and garrisoned
oulv by an ordnance sergeant. So tho
sergeant
yacht made a landing at the pier, when
the United States a r 1113'. in the person
of 1 In; Tzy.Icd old ordnance sergeant,
hurried down aud forbade the party
from di-embarkiiig in terms more forci
ble than polite, flavored with an unmis
takable Milesian accent 1
Secretary RaiiiMsy, who is fond of a
joke, vainly expostulated against closing
approach to Aineriran citizens, but the
'Unite i States army" was obdurate and
said he whs acting under orders of the
secretary of war. After badgering him
awhile, to the intense amusement of the
company. Secretary Kainsey said: !
"Well, M-rgeant, 1 see you obey orders
striutiy, and as you are acting under '
uiitliorilv of the seerehirv of war. onlv .
the secretary cau revoke, or modify the j
order."
Exactly, gentlemen," sternly re
plied the old martinet "So you might
as well be off and not be pestering me
11113 longer."
"(ji'iiileiiieii.,,Haid Secretary Ramsey,
turuui 1 to his friends, "will ou kindly
picM-iu me to the sergeant"
S rgeaiit." haid Admiral Porter,
permit me to present the secretary of
war, your Micriur officer."
"Holy Moses!" cjuailated the veteran
as he brought his hand to salute. "And
this is thu M-crciiiiT, and why didn't ye
let me know before ye was coming? I
would have been reaity to receive ye for
insp;eliou."
The pink of military propriety was in
sore d:.ircs. He had not been entirely
poliie, and felt himseit derelict He
was. however, put at his ease bv the
secretary, and. the party ascended the
hill into the fort, and were shown
around the rapidly de.-aying quarters
and other objects of interest aud curi
oMly. '1 tie M-rgeanl. however, got his
ii:veii:e upon the secretary. Vhen
they apjuoachcd the magazine the ser
geant halted tiie party aud triumphant
ly Maid,
"Mr. Secretary, there is the magazine,
mid with tlxw respect, nil. I S:i3' ou
can't o :iio tiie m iaziiie; that is
:ijaiiii onli is and regulations. There
is just one place hen: over which you
have no antliority, sir, aud 1 can't show
you the magazine."
"Never mind the magazine," exclaim
ed the sueretrv. "You are entirety cor
rect, sergeant." Turning to iiis friends,
llr- su-reiaiy added very emphatically:
"H.ttig mc. ii the magazine is not just
the place where 1 don't want to go. aud
preler to give a miiihty wide berth."
Sure, tiiere's no powder in it Mr.
Sccrclarv. but 3ou can't inspect it, just
the same," was the parting shot the
hcrgcnut fired at the secretary as the
party withdrew.
DWARFED TREES.
Arts of the Chinese Lanlsrape Gardener
Pigmy Hearers of Fruit anil Flow
ers.
"Melican man him heap smlart; him
makce tlee glow velly big. Him no
saveo ma kec -tlee glow little. Chinee
maii do that; me tlell 30 u how do that,"
said Hop Low, a Chinese laudscapc
gardener f nsshly arrived from the Pacific
slope, in answer to inquiries about the
(leculiar dwarfed trees shown in Chinese
garden scenes.
"Chinaman him makce tlee any shape
him wants," continued the speaker;
"likce bell, likee closs. likee man's
baud. Me makce olange tlee likee man's
hand iu China. When him old him no
bigger than this," said the gardener,
holding his hand about two feet from
the floor, "and him havee nice glood
olangles on him. Me makce oak tlees
just likee samee."
The celestial, who seemed in a com
municative mood unusual with his race,
u cut on to say that the dwarfed oak
bore acorns and that its wood was just
like that of tho tree of natural size.
Citron and bamboo trees were also
dwarfed, and fur this purpose the lucbee
tree was a favorite.
"How is this dwarfing accomplished?"
was asked.
Him velly easy," was the reply, and
the shaker described the process, which
consists briefly in covering a branch of
a full-grown tree with mold, and bind
ing the same on tightly with a cloth or
matting of somo kind which is kept
constant soaked with water. The
liners 01 the uranen tnus covereil soon
shoot into the mold. The branch is
then carefully cut from the tree, and
after the bandage is taken off it is plant
ed iu new earth. The fibers then be
come roots, and thus that which was a
branch on the parent tree becomes a
trunk, bearing flowers and fruit The
buds at the extremities of the branches
which are intended to be dwarfed are
torn oil" as soon as they appear, and b3
this means the growth of the branches
is arrested, ami other buds and branches
shoot out. After a certain time sugar
water is applied to the trunk of the
dwarfed tree, ami by this means insects
are attracted which wound the bark
aud give it the kuottcd appearance pe
culiar to old trees. When it is intended
to give any peculiar form .to a tree the
branches are bent into the shape nnd
retained iu it b3 meaus of pieces of
bamboo.
It is said that bamboo trees 'scarcely
four fecc high are frequently distorted
to represent dragons and other fanciful
creatures dear to the Chinese imagina
tion. These the informant above had-
never seen, but he smiled blandly and
said: "China cleat clounllic.

HIS LAST "SCOOP."
What a Reporter Did After a. Terrible Rail
road Accident.
It is not many years aero that Tony
B , the attache of a Central Iowa
paper, now defunct, rode out from a
Southern Iowa city one line morning
perched daringly on the brake of a flat
car that was attached to a "wild
freight," and loaded with iron rails.
He was like other reporters, made up of
vice and virtues only the first seen by
the world, the latter best known to bu
intimate friends. He bad been in
newspaper work for about six yean,
was thoroughly capable, and scored
more "scoops"" than were ever recorded
against him. This, in the eyes of the
city editor, insured his entrance into
parauisti.
To make the story short, forty miles
out -from its starting point the "wild" ,
freight, with a leap of madness and a
terrible crash, went through a bridge,
dowu sixty feet nnd Tony sitting on
the brakobeanu It was over in nn in
stant Such things don't wait for time !
to catch up with them. When the con- j
ductor of the train (the only one unin
jured) crawled out of thu wreck his eyes
fell first on Tony, lying across the side ,
01 a dismantled oox-car, on nis chest a
heavy rail, his legs crushed, and dying.
Beyond him lay a dead brakeman; the
engineer was buried under his machine,
and by a large bowlder was the fireman
with a broken bark. Tony was con
scious, and when the conductor reached
him asked for paper and pencil. They
were found in his pockets. Unable to
i write himself, he dictated this, angrily

let him aloncr

A farmer was secured, who carried it
to the nearest station. Then this boy,
true to his duty and not flinching before
death, suffering frightful agony, and,
while williug hands sought iu vain to
release him from his position, dictated
a "special" of 1,600 words to his paper.
, What he suffered no one cau ever know.
It was with difficulty that he could
f breathe, and every rasp cost him a
1 wrench of agony. But he held death
. back down to the last few lines. "The
killed were " and so on, ending
with the name of "Tony B , report
er." As he ended that his eyes filled
with tears aud he looked up wistfully
to the conductor, who had written the
telegram for him. and who himself
could not keep the tears back. "Tell
my mother," said Tony, "that I did my
duty; and, boys, rush that over the
wires for me. It's a -scoop.' " It went
, over the wires all right and it was a
"scoop." But before it was printed
, Tony was dead. St. Paul Pioneer

A Rich Yoang Man.
George Gould, in his own right, is a
rich man. When his father bought him
a seat in the stock-exchange, five or
aiz years ago. and started him in the
stock brokerage business as a member
of the firm of Washington E. Connor &
Co.. (iould was given an out-and-out
present of $500,000. He is credited
with astuteness iu speculation. He is
out of the brokerage business now, and
for his service as confidential clerk to
his father he gets an allowance quoted
in Wall street at $20,000 a year. He is
no spendthrift, though to "some extent
he has patronized the sporting world.
He Ls a member of the New York Athle
tic club. He has a fine stable of horses,
of which he is especially proud. It has
been common report among the leaders
in Wall street, or those, at least, who
may plausibly lay claim to some share
in the business secrets of Jay Gould,
that a plan was developed by Mr.
Gould last winter, during the pendency
of his southern railway strike, by which
he proposed to elevate George to a
prominent and independent place in
the financial or railway world, probably
as me president 01 one 01 the big uouid
corporations. The anxiety of Mr. Npr
vin Green to get out of harness tiaa
been thought the opening of a prospec
tive avenne for the millionaire's son.
Now that "the boy" such is his father's
favorite designation is happily wedded,
the plan of last winter may hasten to
maturity.
George is now, and has been almost
since he became of voting age, a half
dozen years ago, a director in many of
the great corporations controlled by his
father and Russell Sage. He is a vice-
E resident in some of them. People who
now him well and aro not overmuch
given to toadyism, aver that he has
remarkable business faculties. His
father trusts him a good ways; he did a
vast deal 01 the work that was done at
this end of the line during the Missouri
Pacific strike troubles. His father
thought it would be a waste of the young
man s time and energy to send him
through college, but he hooked him
tight to a tutor who knows all the mys
teries of arithmetic, and George is prob
ably one of the best and most thorough
accountants in New York. Likewise he
is a practical telegrapher; bo knows
how to run a typewriter fast as his
father cares to dictate, and withal is
somewhat expert as a stenographer. It
is his boast that he could earn a living
as a newspaper reporter if he ever col
lided with the need of it Just now he
is not expecting to collide.

Ono on a Bishop.
Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, a
man warmly esteemed by all sorts and
conditions of men, and even more so by
children, was making ono of his episco
pal visitations, and was the guest of the
rector 01 me pariau ue was visiting.
The rector, who was a rigorous man in
the trainiug of his children, had a little
boy six years old, who was a great
favorite with the Bishop, and of whom,
in turn, the Bishop wus much beloved.
Sunday afternoon the Bishop and tbo
boy were left alone for a while in the
rector's study, and were chatting com
fortabh. "Let us look at your picture book?"
said the Bishop.
"All right" said the boy.
He brought the picture book, laid it
on the right-reverend lap of bis guest,
and then went furtively back and closed
the stud3 door.
"We'll have to do it on the sly. Bish
op, you know!" said he with a grin.
The next Sunday the Bishop preached
a magnificent sermon on the sin of
overrighteousiiess.
Professor Lcinaistre. of Limoges, de
scribes a new disease which is at the
present'time quite prevalent among the
school children of France. It is known
amonsr the common people as perleche,
and is contagious, it consists ia an
abrasion in the corners of the mouth,
which becomes little ulcers aud some
times bleed; it lxsts from two to four
weeks. The description given of it cor
responds to what is commonly called in
this country a '-cold sore'' or "fever
blister." In the sore Lcmaistre has
found a microbe, which he calls strep
tococcus plicatilia. Thcao have been
found in drinking water, and it is sur
mised that they have been transferred
to the lips of a person, thence to the
edee of a cup, and thus all who used
the cup became affected. Professor
Lemaistre has examiued the 5,500 chil
dren who attend the thirty-two schools
of Limoges, and has found 312, or one
in seventeen, affected with tho disease.
