The Friendly Horse.

A friend of mine told me a story little
while ago which interested me so much
that want to tell it to all my little
friends. This gentleman owned fine
horse, which was very fond of him and
would come from the pasture at the sound
of his voice, and follow him about like
dog. Well, at one time the horse became
lame and was obliged to stay in his stable
and not be used for many weeks, and it
was during this time that Mr.. G. became
interested to see how much the horse
knew and how kind his sympathies were.
An old cat had made her nest upon the
scaffold Just above the horses manger,
and had laid there her little family of five
kittens, to bring them up under good tut
tion suppose. She and the horse got on
nicely for some days. She jumped down
into his manger, and went off for food,
and then came back and leaped up to her
kittens again. But one morning she
rolled off into the manger, with her foot
bleeding, and badly hurt, so that she
could scarcely crawl; but she managed to
limp away on three feet and get her
breakfast; but when she came back she
was entirely unable to get up to her kit
tens, and what do you think she did. (My
friend happened to be there at the time
and saw this done.) She lay down at the
horses feet, and mewed and looked up,
and mewed and looked up, several times,
till at last, Pony, seeming to understand
her wants, reached doson, took the cat IN ms
teeth. and tossed her up on the scdfotd to her
kittens, who, / doubt not, were glad
enough to see her. This, Mr.. G. told me,
he saw repeated morning after morning.
/ Kit would roll off into the manger, go
and get her breakfast, come back, and be
tossed up to her family by the kind horse,
who must have understood cat language,
and been willing to listen to it. And do
not such lessons teach US, dear children,

How n Buddhist Priest Raised 50 900.

A Buddhist priest, desiring to raise
money for building temple at Suchau,
came to Shanghai for assistance. The
project of creating the temple had been
started ten years ago, but the zeal which
had raised $4 900 of the S13, 900 that were
requisite subsidized, and it was felt neces-
sary to resort to more energetic measures.
Priests were accordingly sent throughout
the province to beg assistance. The
priest who was detailed for Shanghai
labored for weeks without success. This
is evidently a dollar worshipping COM
munity. With a devotion more than
worthy of the cause he determined to
create a sensation, and thus excite interest
in his mission. He announced that he
would allow himself to be locked up in
a wooden box for seven days, during
which period he would remain in an up
right position without food or sleep. He
was accordingly placed in cage two and
half feet wide and five feet high-just
sufficiently large to admit him standing
upright. The bottom of the cage was
studded with nails so that his feet should
have space only between the nails TO rest
on, and couple of slight bars in front
formed a rest for his arms. The
native public were invited to prove the
genuine character of the modification by
they pleased, and about thirty people
brought padlocks of various kinds
and secured the door as many times
over. The cage was a close one, with
few open bars near the bottom
for the admission of air. The cage and
the enclosed priest were placed in a
temple situated on a great thoroughfare.
During the seven days throngs of people
passed in and out as spectators, religious
exercises being conducted meanwhile by
the priests of the temple. The poor man
endured his painful Incarceration with
remarkable fortitude, the only relief af-
forded being an occasional cup of water,
and he emerged at the expiration of the
seventh day looking little the worse. On
examination his pulse was found to beat
sixty-four, and was steady, while his skin,
though hot, was moist. After his release
the cage was broken up and sold piece
meal to the Chinese, every nail bringing
more than its weight in silver. The de-
sired result of calling forth liberal sub
scriptions was obtained, amounts from
$500 downwards being freely paid by
wealthy Chinese.-Stdngha Cor. N. y.

Improved Soap Bubbles,

Here is something about the art of blow
ing soap bubbles that will show the
changing colors of the rainbow, and may
be of special interest to some of our
Juvenile readers
Take three-qusrters of pint of water
that has been boiled and become cold, and
put into it a quarter of an ounce of Cas-
tile soap, cut up fine. Put this into a
pint bottle, and set it in a saucepan on
the fire; there let it remain an hour or so,
now and then giving it good shaking,
till the soap is dissolved. Let the fluid
stand quiet for the impurities and color
ing matter of the soap to settle; then pour
off the fluid and add to it four ounces of
glycerine, and your soap bubble solution is
ready. In an ordinary way you may blow
the bubbles easily with tobacco pipe,
but if you wish to attain scientific per-
fection, glass pipe can be employed with
better success. By adding a larger
quantity of glycerine, you may make
these bubbles so strong that you can play
battledoor with them.

mind and. as he testified went bitterly,

mind, and, as he testified, wept bitterly,
and begged him to lend her $22, 900.
Just at this time DuZan's bankers had be-
come inquisitive concerning the use he
was making of his money, and upon his
refusal to tell them, they withdrew their
accommodations. He informed Mrs.
Glen that he could aid her no longer.
Young evidently looked to her to provide
the means to meet his maturing notes,
and when she found it impossible to eff
feet loan from DuZan, she found herself
at the end of the rope. She was COM
PEELED to close the account, and catching
the nearest way, she accompanied Young
and his wife on their ride her brother,
purchased by Abrams. Young and
his wife were murdered, and the murder
ers fled to indianapolis in the manner de-
scribed.
Mrs. Clem was first tried in the fall of
1868, and but for the obstinacy of Ger
man juror, who stood out for conviction
against eleven for acquittal, she would
have gone scot free. Upon the second
trial she was convicted and sentenced to
the State Prison for life. Her brother
Silas, who had testified in her behalf,
and had been convicted of dozen PERU
ries concerning his whereabouts on the
day of the murder, committed suicide in
Jail the night of her conviction, by cut
ting his throat with razor. Abrams
was then tried and convicted of murder
in the first degree-the proof of the pur-
chase of the gun by him few hours be-
fore the murder being clear and conclu-
sive; also his dividing the money with
Mrs. Glen after the murder. The Su-
preme Court reversed the judgment
against Mrs. Glenn, and gave her new
trial upon shallow technicality that led
many ignorant people to believe
that the court had been cor
rupted. Her counsel took change
of venue, and she was tried the
third time at Lebanon, Boone County, In
diana; that trial resulted in a divided
jury. The fourth and last trial has Just
been concluded by verdict of guilty,
with sentence of Imprisonment for life
Thus has ended one of the most remarka-
BILE chapters in the history of the criminal
jurisprudence of this country. We doubt
if even the celebrated Webster case fur
nished a stronger illustration of the eff
cacy and reliability of connected chain
of circumstantial evidence. At first it
was pronounced incredible that Mrs Glen
should have had any connection with the
murder of her two friends, but little by
little the truth came to light, until her
guilt was so clearly revealed that no in
telligent mind could doubt it after care
fully considering the facts.-S. Louis

THoueH tangled hard life.s knot may be,
And wearily we rue it,
The silent touch of Father Time
Some dav will sure undo it.
Then, darling, wait; "a
Nothing is late
In the light that shines forever.
We faint at heart, friend is gone;
We weep for grave is filing;
We trembie at sorrows on every side,
At the myriad waysm kHlingi
Yet, after all,
If a sparrow fall,
Our Lord keepeth count forever.
He keepeth count Wecome, we go,
We speculate, toll and fater;
But the measure to each, of veal or woe,
God only can give or alter.
Then why not say,
From day to day,
"Thy will be done foreverf"
Why not take life with cheerful trust
With faith in the strength of weakness
Doing the best we can to walk
With courage, yet with meekness.
Lifting the face
To catch Gods grace,
That lights the soul forever?
Forever and ever, my darling, yes,
Goodness and love are nndying;
Only the troubles and cares OF earth
Are sure in the end to go flying.
Fleeting as bubbles

And now" is sprite that tricks us ever,
Till 1t floats and is lost in the vast Forever"

A CLEVELAND woman not long ago
modestly requested her husband to go to
the dressmaker and tell her that she (the
wife) had changed her mind and would
have the watered silk made up instead of
the poplin, and "that if she thinks it
would look better with ten bias fiounces
without putting and box-plaited below
the equator, which should be gathered in
hemstitched gudgeons up and down the
seams, with gusset stitch between, she
can make it up in that way, instead of
fluting the bobbinet insertion and piec-
ing out with point applique as l suggested
yesterday" The poor man is now in q

One of the oldest April-fOol-tricks on
record is that perpetrated by Rabelias.
He was in Marseilles and destitute of
funds, but anxiously yearned to go to
Paris. 1t was the first of April, and an
idea struck him. He filled two vials with
brick dust and labeled them as containing
poison to be administered to the royal
family. He put these vials where they
would be discovered. He was promptly
arrested, and with great mystery. All
explanation was refused him. He was at
once placed en- route for Paris, and con-
veyed there with great expedition. Car
ried to the palace as traitor, he explain
ed the Jest The vials were examined,
and he was released amid general laugh

AFTER THE KISS

Vanishing anger and softened dismay;
A half-naughty little one, yearning to pray;
Unconsciously yearning, and sobbing the rest

Neither angel nor sinner all good to Withstand,
Only Gods little child with the world close at
hand.

But never came harm from a sOrrowful kiss

GREELEY MEETING ON SATURDAY EVENING
The first public political meeting at Newark Of
the Campaign, was held on Saturday evening, by
the Greeley Democrats the number present
was less than had been expected as it was in
tended to make grand demonstration.
John O'Byrne was the first speaker, and de-
voted large share of attention to historical re-
searches concerning Holland and Hollanders
turning afterward to Ireland and then attacking
General Grant. He said very little about Gree
ley. At the close of his speech three cheers
were given for O'Byrne, and upon his asking for
three for Greeley there was response from
the small boys present very few men joining
The second speaker WAS Mr.. James l.. Vallan-
digham, of Butler county, Ohio, who has been
visiting his former home in Newark. He is an
impressive orator, but chose his discourse in
iudciously, there being entirely too much in it
about Greeley. The feeling of the meeting
sympathized very little with ardent an express
sion in behalf of Greeley At one point he al
luded to the Dean Straight. Outs and was deri
eively replied to from some one in the meeting
Mr.. V. called also for "three cheers for Honest
Horace Greeley" but there was no response the
people standing silent
The meeting, on the whole, was not great
success, but considering the lukewarmness OF
the Democrats, about Newark, for Greeley Mr.
/ j. W. Choate, who was instrumental in getting
| il up, deserves credit for his zeal.

HIS CONTEMPT AND DISREGARD FOR OUR CITY
PRISON AND ITS IRON sHAoKLEs.
One day last week we noticed the escape from
the city cells of two boys, Thomas Davis and
"Reddy " August and the subsequent return oi
the latter. Davis, however, was not arrested
until Saturday evening, when he was returned tc
his former cell and ironed with heavy chain And
shackles to the floor in the same manner In
which they do prisoners charged with terrible
crimes.
Young Davis who is fast gaining the notoriety
Of Jack Sheppard for jail breaking, having en-
joyed his freedom for several days, did not ap
preciats confinement, aud accordingly set his
wits to work to invent plan of escape. Not
desiring to work in the dark, or probably not
caring to take any unfair disadvantage of his
keepers, he postponed the attempt until daylight
and it was about s o'clock yesterday morning
when the escape WAS made. Commencing on hi
shackles and chain, defiance was bid to thei
puny strength. and the ring which held him b,
the leg to the floor broken asunder a. il nothing
more than a rotten reed. This much accom-
plished, the next thing to do Was to get out oil
the cell, which he was not long in doing. The
former place through which he escaped wal
sought and found to prove available. Crawling
through this hole aud holding his chains in hi'
hand Davis leisurely walked away from his cage
aud made good his escape. The chain ant
shackel was found along the railroad, near tht
foot OF 7th street, by an officer, yesterday bu
their owner, is not yet captured

CEREBRo SPINAL MENINGITIS. disease which
during the Spring and Fall OF II proved so fatal
to thousands Of horses in and about the city OF
New York, has made it's appearance in Whining
ton.
A valuable horse owned by Mr.. Stafford, who
resides near Hare's Corner, was drlveu to this
city on Friday evening last, and left in care of
the hOstler at Gibson's stables, on Sbipley. near
4th street.
During the evening the animal was attacked
with the disease which terminated fatally within
twenty-four hours.
Prof. Fallows. a young veterinarian, who has
permanently located here, and who has had no
little experience with the above malady. being
called after several others who were unable to
decide as to the true nature of the disease,
Immediately pronounced it genuine C Sc of
cere5ro spinal meningitis, Inflammation oI the
brain, and spinal cord
1t is to be hoped the disease may not spread.
for when it has declared itself il is generally
fatal, and medicines are of but little avail. Gem
eral symptoms are coughing up little slimy
matter, difficulty in swallowing, twitchng OF
the muscles of the shoulders and neck, pulse
from ~ to 3O legs and ears warm After three
or four hours they are unable to rise and will
lay quiet until death eusues which takes place
from twelve TO twenty-fOur hours after trst
taken.
In New York, it was mostly contiued to horses
particularly with horses left unblanketed aud
exposed TO draft or strong current of air, after
being worked hard.
Cleanliness and proper care will do much
toward Cheering the disease altogether.
