ANOTHER LIZARD IN A MANS SToM.
AcH.--A young man named John Nc
Donald, recently driver on the Forest
street cars, was suddenly taken severely
i'll few weeks since and was for some
time confined to his bed. His disease
was thought to be of serious character
aud was pronounced by physicians con-
sumption. Several days since he felt
somewhat better and sat down at the
table to take his dinner. While seated
there he commenced coughing and soon
choked in his efforts to extrioate some.
thing which had lodged in his throat
His face turned black and be fell from
his chair nearly exhausted. Another eff.
fort, however, brought out lizard four
inches in length, which it is supposed has
been the cause of his sickness. Mr..
Mcdonald is now considerably improved
and is in fair way of speedy recovery
He states that while .his regiment was
marching through Georgia on the Sher-
man raid in the winter of 1864 and '65,
be took drink of water from a spring,
and recollects distinctly that he swallowed
something which caused tickling sensa-
ton in his throat while passing down. He
also states that he has a number of times
felt similar sensation and firmly believes
that the lizard has been in his throat over
two years. Mr.. Mcdonald resides at
Riverside. -Detroit Tribune.

A MAN GARRoTTED IN CHURCH,
Joseph Kellen, an Irishman, whose family
reside in Winona, Mimi, but who has
been at work on the North Missouri Rail-
road, for some time past, arrived in St.
Louis on Monday morning. Desiring to
see friend on O'Fallon street, he in.
quired of two men whom he met on
Fourth street the direction thither. Thew
very kindly, as he thought, proposed to
show him the way, and while walking
along, kellen having taken little some
thing" was excessively communicative,
telling his new. made friends where he
lived, where he had been and was going,
and how much money he had about him.
Arriving opposite St. Patrick's church,
corner of Sixth and Biddle, one of the fell
lows told him it was one of the finest
churches inside in the United States, and
that he himself did tho painting. Ikellsn
went in on invitation, and, like good
Catholic, no sooner did he enter the
threshold than he knelt to give thanks
for the blessings vouchsafed to him
There was no one in the church at the
time but the three men. AS Kellen arose
from his kneeling posture, tho larger and
stronger of the two ruf6ans seized him in
tho true garrotiDg style, and in less time
than it takes to tell it, he was robbed of
his pocket-book, containing $40, and
passoge-tickets on the steamer Rob up the
river. Before he had time to recover his
equilibrium, the garroters had disappear.
ed. He at once repaired to the police
station, gave an account Of the procedure
and description of the scoundrels.
This is the first case Of the kind on re-
cord in this city, and for bold dash and
successful execution will compare favor
ably with anything in modern history
Chicago must look to her laurels.-&.

PASTE AND DIAMoNDs.-The celebra-

a bill sticker, and who had occasionally
followed tho same humble occupation
himself, being ope evening strutting in
a pair of glittering buckles, a bystander
remarked, that they really resembled
diamonds.
"Sir,' said Palmer, with some warmth,
81 would have you know, I never wear
anything but diamonds.

MY LIFE Is LIKE THE SUMMER ROSE.

BY RICHARD HENRY WILDE.
My life is like the summer rose
That opens to the morning sky,
But ere the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground--to die!
Yet on the roses humble head
The sweetest dews of night are shed,
AS if she wept the waste to see
But none shall Weep tear for me !
My life is like the autumn leaf
That trembles in the moons pale ray
Its hold is Its date is brief,
Restless and soon 10 pass away
Yet, ere that leaf shall fall and fade,
The parent tree will mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leahess tree,
And none shall breathe sigh for me
My life is like the prints which feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand;
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All trace will vanish from the sand
Yet, as if greving to elface
All vestige of the human race,
On thai lone shore loud means tho sea,
But none, alas shall mourn for me
