New YORK NEwsBoYs.- One of the
oldest and best New York homes for
boys is in Park Place, and called The
Newsboys' Lodging house." Although
in the neighborhood Of Newspaper Row,
hardly majority of them are newsboys.
They are of all trades and professions,
from boot-blacks down to chance Job
bers." The clearinghouse has existed
seventeen years, and during that time
o2,5l9 different boys have lodged IN it
6,l7o lost and missing boys were restored
to their homes 6,009 have been provid-
ed with homes and employment; the
number of lodgings furnished has been
523, 48S, and meals 1896. The ex-
penses for all this has been S109,325, of
which the boys themselves have contrib
uted S2S,596 leaving an actual expense
OF about one dollar to each boy. The
boys pay for supper, lodging and break
fast SIX cents each, which creates feel
ing of independence among them, pre-
serving their selErespect. This does not
exclude, however, the very unfortunate
class of lads who have no money. About
one third of the applicants are of this
class.

D, you know, girls. what it is to be a
widow? 1t is to be ten times more open
to comment and criticism than any de-
moiselle could possibly be. 1t is to have
men gaze as you pass, first at you, then
at your black dress, and then at your
widows cap until your sensitive nerves
culver under the infection. 1t is to have
one ill-natured person say, | wonder
how long she will wait before she marries
again ?" and another answer, "Until she
gets good chance, / suppose" II is
now and then to meet a glance of real
sympathy, generally from the poorest
and humblet women that you meet, and
feel your eyes fill at the token SO rare
that it is, alas, unlocked for 1t is to
have your dear, fashionable friends con-
dole with you after the following fash
ion: ooh, we'll! it's a dreadful loss;
we knew you'd feel it, poor dear" And

marry again, and your widows cap is

FIERCE BATTLE WITH A HoRsE.-A
man pamed Pierce Andrews of Taylor,
Mich, recently purchased young horse
Wyandotte. In riding theanimal home,
Andrews gave him several whippings,
and thus when he arrived home home he
was tired out, and the horse was nervous
and excited. There being some goods
packed away in the stables, Andrews
took the horse in on the barn floor to tie
him. While so doing, the ANIMAL bit
him, and for this he was soundly bella
bored with the handle of broken pitch
fork. After being struck several times,
he broke loose and ran at Andrews, and
struck him down with one os his fore
feet. While in this position, the farmer
received bad injury from being stepped
on, but managed to get up and show
fight, still retaining possession of his wea-
pom. The horse reared, kicked and ut
tered mad neighs, and in a moment
struck the man down again. Andrews
fell so close to partition that the horse
could not get at him well, and here he
kept the beast at bay b. pounding its
legs with club. The people at the
house had heard the sound of the strug-
gle, and hired man and the family
were soon around the door. Asthe horse
seemed to quiet down little, the man
shouted to Andrews to crawl carefully
along to the door. This the far ner start
ed TO do, but had not crawled three feet,
when the horse pounced upon him again,
and this time dislocated his shoulder by
a blow of hoof. The horse then COM
menced plunging and kicking at every
thing, Jumping at An irews whenever
the farmer moved, and in this emergency,
seeing that he was likely to be killed he
shouted for the man to get the family
out of the yard, and open the door, sup
posing that the animal would then 90
out. This was done, but the horse plung-
ed out and in again with such rapidity
that the farmer could not escape, the an
imal making at him every time he
tried it. As last resort, the hired man
loaded an army musket with a fine shot,
and gave the horse the full charge in the
shoulder at short range. The beast went
down, jumped up, made few circuits of
the yard, and then leaped the fence into
the pasture and ran until tired out. An
drews was badly bruised in many places,
had shoulder dislocated, as stated, and
will be confined to the house for some
time. The horse received considerable
injury from the gunshot, but it is thought
a veterinary surgeon can heal the wound.

Aggravated Case of Reckless Sport


A certain newspaper man of this city
was presented with Henry rifle. This
rifle became his idol. 1t was seldom out
of his sight, and he could not sleep uu-
less it rested against the head of his bed.
On Sundays he was always out on the
hills with his Henry, and in short time
became so expert that he could decapi-
tate sage hen nine times out of ten
He once saw duck disporting itself in
lake somewhere in the eastern part of
the state, and, on bet, shot out both
eyes. The crack shot-lhis terror to
everything in the shape of game-being
invited to spend a few days with friend
residing near Carson City, packed up his
Henry and responded in person. Next
morning he wasupbright and early, and,
like second Steve Vernard, stalked
forth in search of game. A short walk
brought him in sight of pond in which
we're fine flock Of ducks. Creeping to
cover near the shore, he opened his bat
terry. Duck after duck. was stretched up
on the water, and still those remaining
made no attempt to fly away. Our MINI
rod was somewhat astonished at the tame
ness of the game, but no merciful thought
arose; on the contrary, he became, if
possible, still more blood thirsty. He
had just stretched out lifeless the last of
the flock of about seventeen ducks, when
the friend, whose hospitality he was shar-
ing, came running toward him for Heav-
ems sake to desist as he was killing the
whole of his favorite breed of tame
ducks. What did Nimrod do but turn
about and vigorously protest that he
thought the ducks were wild ones. At
ter this exploit he even had the cheek to
remain at the house of his friend whole
week, feasting on ducks every day.-Vir-
