A Familiar I.ansn In n Chin.

An exciting story Ia brought by the
overland mail from Calcutta. The vessel
Glenarvney," when leaving the Straits,
took on board one Of the largest spec-
mems Of the black panther, The animal
was secured in mn iron cage house suiii-
clently strong, IL was thought, for it's
conveyance to Calcutta. When In the
Straits Of Malacca, screams were heard
from the passengers in the tween decks
numbering some three hundred men,
women, and children; these were follow
ed by rush upon deck The panther had
got clear Of It's cage and found its way
dssn 10 the tween decks. II had been
disportng itself over the PROSTATE forms
of the three hundred slumberlng passen-
gers for some minutes before its presence
became known. Every available means
of exit were thrown open, and all the
passengers got on deck in safety, when
the matches and companions were again
closed, and the panther left in undisputed
aud solitary possession Of the tween
decks. One man alone appeared to have
suffered from the claws of the animal, a
large strip of skin and flesh having been
torn OF his back Various accounts OF
the behavior of the animal while below
were given by those who had seen him
but most concurred in saying that, after
gamboling over the sleeping bodies as
described, when the alarm was given and |
the shouts and screams were raised he |
had made one or two frightiul springs .
from one end of the deck to the other.
1t was concluded that the animal must
have jumped out of the port into the sea,
for he could not be found The steamer
arrived next at Penang, the passengers
settled down in their quarters as before,
and she started the same evening for Cal
cutta During the night some boutswan's
stores were required from forward, and
one of the Chinese lascars was sent down
to get them, when he presently returned

sent for his breechloading rifle and can
tridges, and went down the hatch by M

if the beast really was there it should be
got on to the deck and rc-enact the alarm
of two nights before. On reaching the
deck of the store-room and looking round,
Captain Bolton saw the large yellow-lit
eyes Of the animal glazing down from the
top of some spars slowed along the ships
side, and by and by, by the dim light adj
mited by the port, could make out the
outline of the body, when taking as steady
an aim as he could for what he considered
the center of the animals body, let fire.
When the smoke from the discharge
cleared away, the two yellow eyes We're
still glazing down from the same direc-
ton; second cartridge having been
supplied the rifle was again. raised, and,
the second discharge of the piece,
Captain Bolton had the satisfaction 10
near the heavy body of the animal come
down on to the deck at his feet ,
The animal measured seven feet eight
inches in length.

BoyYETs.-Parisian bonnets show high
soft-crowns and small fronts, and are. in
fact, distinguishable from round hats only
by their faille ribbon strings. Those OF
black velvet are entirely without color;
fallle bow rests on the puffed crown, and
ostrich tips ornament the left side. Even
ing bonnets are of the palest shades of
royale and pretty fashion Is to form
them of three puffs going around the
frame, as if on q round hat, the centre
nlled in with ostrich tips and loops Of faille
that droop over the back hair.

Spring Costumes and Cambrics,

Domestic cambrics in spring coors are
already Displayed upon the counters of the
large stores, says New York fashion
journal The grounds are white, with
hair lines of color or black crossing each
other to form squares, blocks or diamonds,
and the simple regulation stripe. These
goods always make a neat, pretty aud
serviceable dress.
Gray cashmereS in many tints are to be
brought out for spring suits. There is the
blue gray, stone and steel colors, with that
peculiar shade of brown verging on the
green. This beautiful, soft material grows
in favor, and for spring overdresses
nothing will be more popular.
Black alpaca suits are already being
made at the furnishing houses for spring.
They are made with polonaises of various
designs, but we think the " Marguerite"
will have the preference. The skirt be-
hind is draped with bows, while a row of
bows fastens the front. 1t can be edged
with fringe, or ruching of the same, but
in msny cases it is left plain.
A handsome dress lately worn at a dav
reception consisted of train dress of light
blue Irish popin, trimmed with folds of
the same, pIped double with black velvet
and white satin. Black velvet polonaise
and mutf trimmed with silver fox and
dnchesse bonnet of light blue velvet orna-
mented with soft gros grain ribbon, and
light blue and black feathers.
\ light cameo tinted silk has founce
and tunic bordered with lovely flower
pattern, natural foliage, embroidered in
various colored silks; below is rich fringe
to match the silk, and above is ruched
heading.
A coquettish addition to any house
dress is the "lnez iichu, whether it be |
intended for evening or ordinary home
wear. For the former purpose it may be
prettily made in dotted lace, trimmed |
with lace and an appropriate heading, or
in Swiss or organdy, garnished with |
. standard platings or Fittings.

A SINGULAR STORY "A strange story
of swiudling and malpractice comes from
Detroit. A couple of doctors sporting
the name of "The Twin Doctors" have
been performing surgical operations and
prescribing medicine solely for the plrr-
pose OF obtaining money. Among others
they visited farmer who had bow
about nine years old who has been a
cripple for three years past, the cord of
the right leg being drawn up The doc
tors no sooner saw the boy then they
said they could cure him for S25, and so
they strapped the boys crooked leg to
straight board, but as the pain was ter
nble, and they found they could not
bend the leg to any extent without the
poor little fellow fainting away, thew
sad they would cut the cords at the
back of the knee, and then, they asserted,
they could straighten the limb at once.
The father fortunately was aware that
such an operation would ruin his child,
paid the men the S25, and in his own
words told them to "clcar out" These
brutes deserve State prison, and we are
glad to hear the authorities are after
them.

For the man and woman who purely

by the law Of justice. marriage is not
not a state of bondage. Indeed, it is
only when they become by this out

its full significance. Thereafter they
can be fully devoted to each others
interests, and avowedly chosen and
intimate friends. Together they can
plan life's battle, and enter upon the
path of progress that ends not with
life's eventide. Together they can
seek the charmed avenue of culture,
,and strengthened by each other, can
brave the worlds frown in the rugged

THE FOUNTAIN OF YOUTH.
BY KATE CAMERON.

Would you find the tabled fountain
OF which the ancients tell
Would you try its magic waters'
Would you test the fairy spelli
Let me whisper you secret:
Ifyou never fret and scold-
IF you are always kind and gentle,
You never can grow old.
For though time may trace its burrows,
And aye bring silver hair,
II ysu are joyous good and loving.
You always will be fair;1
The heart that is warm and trusting,
No winter can make cold;
And with summer in your spirit,
You never can grow old.
Ifyou lack the charm of beauty.
Or the rare gift of grace,
You may still have something better
A chS5.ful, smiling face;
A face that will carry sunshine
Where all was dark and cold;
And while you make others happy,
You never can grow old.
