TIP and Jack.
BY NAOMI.

Tip was a. chicken, cunning little
white chicken with a black spot (about
as big as a squifrel'a eye) upon his
back. Cassie found him. che day out
by the sweet brier with his wee leg
broken, and peeping most pitifully.
His mamma and all his little brothers
and sisters were gone-had heartlessly
left him 10 bis .fate. / Oassie's tender
heart filled with pity and 30 she tender

swollen leg, made him . soft bed of
cotton by the kitchen fire and hence
forth Tip was household fixture.
He was very companionable fowl and
if by any chance all the family were
absent he would set up the most dis
NAL ycips until some one came in, then
he would suddenly become the most
contented little chick You ever saw.
Tippie, however, missed his mamma.
When the sun went over the western
hills to give the Chinese chickie's q
glimpse of day, then Tippie wanted his
mothers soft: warm feathers to cuddle
under. His brieht-eye would wink
and his little head would nod and then
he would be wide awake again and
some way he could not sleep we'll at all.
Jack saw, and understood the trouble

motherless little Tip, and so he put his
soft paws about it and drew it close to
his white breast 10 warm and filed with
almost human kindness. AT first Tip

would stretch himself on his rug, and

that institution for short time, it was
foun'l that decided insanity had been
produced by prolonged dissipation,
and the patient was transferred to the
asylum at Stockton. The Vallejo
Chronicle, noticing the circumstance,
supplies the following history of the
unfortunate woman: "Several years
ago her husband rain q small freight

He had been in the insane asylum
prior thereto. Afterward his wife
persuaded him to make a trip TO the
South Seas in q vessel he had pur

was convicted and sent to San Quentin,

murder: Some twenty-five years ago
Mighells was drayman in New Or

his future wife to church on the dray,
from whence they got off and were
married. During his insanity she got
hold of nearly all his property by deed,

A VERY pretty story is told respecting
the marriage of the Viscount de Berry
to Mile. Guillot,a Paris girl. During
the terrible times of the Commune tho
counting had gone on, until the Viscount
was locked up for refusing to join the
insnrrectionists. The lady insisted on
visiting him during his incarceration
because she was acquainted with his
mother, and the upshot of it all was
that she succeeded in dressing him in
the garb OF q workman, aud while she
engaged the attention of the guard he
made his escape. OF course tho only
sequel to such a story would be hap
Py marriage, and there the romance
doubtless ends.

gular Case.
From the New York Herald Of Wednesday,
Deputy Coroner Cushman yesterday
morning received information that
Angelo Bazini, child ten mouths old,
whose parents Qtalians) are living in
the rear of the premises 80 Mulberry
street, had died from the effects of a
quantity of oil of vitriol, which had
been administered in mistake for med
icine. DR.. Fossin, of Grand street,
had been applied to for q certificate,
ont, learning the facts of the case, re-
fused to give one. An investigation re-
suited in showing that the little daugh-
ter of Mr.. Bazini for some time past
had been suffering from q very sore
mouth, and last Sunday evening the
mother related the trouble to country
nan who CHANGED to pass by the door.
This man, whose name and residence
she does not know, spoke quite conf
IDENTIFY of his ability to cure the child,
and requested Mr.. Bazini to accompany
him to neighboring drug store and he
would get some medicine for the babe.
The two walked off together and OBJ
tanned bottle of liquid medicine. At
the drug store MIR. Bazini was told to
apply the liquid to the child's mouth
with feather brush, which was accord.
ingly done, the result being that the
mouth of the babe was fearfully burned,
also his face and the clothing on which
the liquid had been spilled during the
struggles of the little sufferer. II
is unnecessary to state that the second
application OF the mixture was unnec.
essary, as the first proved fatal.
DR.. Cushman examined the bottle
and found it to contain oil of vitriol,
Mr.. bazini thinks he can find the drug
store again without trouble, and Capt
Kennedy, of the sixth precinct, in
whose hands the matter has been
placed, will make strenuous efforts tc
find the man who recklessly, ii moi
criminally, prescribed tho mixture
which proved to be- rank and deadly
poison.
Whether the mistake lies. with the
unknown street doctor, or the drug.
gist who filed the prescription mus,
be determined by an Investigation,
which will take place as soon as the
suspected parties can be secured.

A Tradition DESTROYED.

Let us amend our traditions. It ap.
pears from an article in Petermann's
Mittheilungen on the consumption of
tea in China, that the notion that tea is
the ordinary drink of the Chinese is q
popular delusion:: "The people of the
lower classes" he says, " especially in
the Northern provinces, only know it
as a luxury, and drink hot water with
as much pleasure as the wealthy do
their infusion of green tea. The mid
die classes in the same districts use an
infusion of the dried leaves of certain
plants, and it is only the richer classes
who allow themselves the luxury of
drinking real tea. Even in the prov
inces where tea is grown, tea-drinking
10 not general: The plant grows on
hills often not less than q thousand
feet above the nearest valleys, the in
habitants Of which must therefore buy
their tea from the planters: Now, the
poor prefer to keep the copper cash
they would have to expend for this
purpose, and take hot water instead,
! or, what is more common, an infusion
Of the leaves of other plants which
kgro& wildsin.t heii fields. These facts
Esefm I'd leodsto the inference that the
use Of tea in China has arisen from the
aversion of the Chinese to drinking
cold wateb for: which d natural cause
might be found in the circumstance
that as q rule the. only water. they can
get is that which. has flowed over the
rice fields, and has consequently be.
come unhealthy through the absorp.
ton of decayed vegetable matter"

A Work on the FrancO.German War
Count Won Moltke's work on the
Franco. German war has partly seeu the
light. The first section, just published,
contains 200 pages of text, with maps
showing the position of the armies at
