occurred quite suddenly last Friday morning.
Jake was q part Of the press inStitu.ion-hav-

love of music is proverhial with the darkie
it comes as natural to him as sleep. We saw
one the other night with an OLD borrowed
fiddle, that he had been saving on for days

tune from it. Every spare moment that
could be devoted to this, to him, delightful
end, was spent in saving on the strings,
which were showing signs of frazelling out.
He had almost struck lie, or rather, a tune,
when the owner sent word that "dat fiddle

too bad; he had just reached a point; was
almost at the food which was to lead to for

A Profitable Days Work.

An instance of quick work, by which
pretty profitable wages were earned has
come to our knowledge, which wo think
worthy Of public mention, the names of
the parties being withheld by request.
Not long since there was employed in
one of the large shoe manufactures in
this city young lady whose duty it was
to fastcn the taps and soles of ladies'
boots together, preparatory to lasting
This is done after the tap and soles are
dinked out, by first passing and then Sc
curing them by two nails. One day q
gentleman was in the mandatory where
she was employed, and observing her
celebrity Of movement, raised question
as to how many she could prepare in one
day. One of those having the manage
ment Of affairs expressed the opinion
that she could do twenty cases in ten
hours. The gentleman first mentioned
could not credit this, and offered to
stake one thousand dollars against five
hundred that the feat could not be ac-
complished, The wager was accepted,
the young lady acquainted with the facts
and asked if she could do it. She replied
that she was willing to try, provided she
should have n share Of the money should
she win This was agreed to and the
task was commenced At twelve o'clock
on the next day she had eleven Of the
twenty cases finished and packed ready
for the laster, and at ten minutes inside
the ten hours the, task was completed.
The in 'redulous gentleman paid the wa
ger of one thousand dollars, and the
winner handed the young lady five hun,
bred Of it. This, together with the sum
earned by doing the work, made pretty
fair wages for one day, and any one can
see by little calculation that she had
to keep pretty busy. There were ii
each case sixty pairs, four pieces to {
pair, making two hundred and forty
pieces of leather to handle, and as many
nails to be driven. In the twenty cases
there would be forty-eight hundred
pieces to take care Of in ten hours, which
was done thus averaging four hundred
and eighty per hour, or eight in one
minute, This is an actual fact, and TIL

Kidnapping Extraordinary.

The Chicago Times gives the follow
ing Some dozen years ago, III quiet
village in the State Of Illinois, there
lived q young married couple named
Warrington. On the occasion of the
birth of their first child, girl, a woman
named Coulter was engaged as domestic.
In about three weeks after her contine-
ment, Mrs. Warrington died while her
husband was absent ut work, and upon
his return, he found himself not only a
widower, but chidless, as the nurse had
absconded, taking the child with her,
and no traces OF her retreat could be
found
A few weeks since Mr. Warrington
arrived at a small town in this vicinity,
and, while strolling through the princi-
pal street, met bright girl of about a
dozen years, in whom he recognized the
exact picture of his dead wife; but he
had long since given up the idea of ever
seeing lis child But after making a
few inquiries he became satisfied that
his daughter was living, with, as she
thought, hermother, in an adjoining city
THE woman had been since married, and
was now widow. He discovered the
woman, and was recognized in turn
The widow exhibited no desire whatever
to retain the custody of the girl, and
asked to be allowed n few hours to pre-
pare her for her departure. Mr.. War
rington called on the following morning,
and was informed that Miss Coulter was
not at home that she had gone out the
evening before, and had not returned.
Mr. Warrington is again on the hunt
for her, and will spare no pains to re-
cover the possession of his child.

The Famine in Persia.

The following account of the famine
in Persia is taken from statement made
at a public meeting recently held III
London to raise money for the relief OF
the sufferers
"The lamentable famine now raging
in Persia, and threatening to carry oil
hundreds of thousands of the scanty pop
ulation of that extensive kingdom, has
been caused by theunparalleled drought
which has prevailed throughout the
country during the last three years. ,
" la an area far exceeding that OF
Great Britain and France together, no
river Of any importance exists, and the
quantity of rain in the spring and sum
mer is insignificant. In ordinary years,
however, the fall Of snow between
November and March is considerable.
1t thickly covers the huge mountain
ranges which intersect Persia, and as it
mclts in the spring and summer it fills
the watcrcourses and small canals from
which the peasants irrigate their crops,
The soil in the valleys IS naturally for
tile, and little labor insurcs u large
harvest if only the winter snowfall has
been abundant. This, unhappily, has
for the last two or three years been sim
gllarly wanting; the springs, water
courses, and rivulets have been complete
ly dried up, the corn sown over and over
again has been wasted, the supplies IN
the country have been exhausted, and
famine, with disease in its train, is now
rapidly doing its deadly work.
"Thc population Of Persia has recent
| ly been estimated at about four millions,
q large proportion Of whom are Eclyauts,
wandering Tribes who correspond to the
Bedaweer of Arabia and Mesopotamia,
These Eclyauts principally inhabit the
southern and eastern parts Of the empire,
where the drought has been most severe.
Their means of subsistence depend
mainly On their focks and herds, which
have now in some places altogether per
ished, owing to the total want Of grass OIL
the mountain slopes and in the valleys
The most pitiful restitution and tho
most appalling mortality are the results
The towns have scarcely suffered less
At Bushire, where relief is most easily
afforded, and where much hashcen donc
under the auspices Of the British Resi-
dent, deaths by starvation are OF daily
occurrence. 1t is reported that the pop
ulation of Kazeroon, lately estimated a
ten thousand, has fallen during thcs'
days of visitation to one-ftth that mum
Der that in round numbers some foul
thousand have died of famine since thi'
time last year, and q like number hayr
fled the place A similar condition 0
affairs exists at Shiraz, Koomesheh, ant
more or less all over the large province
of Kirman and Khorassan, while even il
the less afflicted northern districts til
most lamentable distress prevails. 1t !
reported that in the city OF Ispahan aIon
no less than twelve thousand people hav
died of want, and more than double tina
