A srnANGE sronT.-A North German

A STRANGE SToRY.-A North German
paper recently contained an advertisement
addressed to the heirs of Catharine Spelling
and her daughter Dorothy, both of whom
died violent deaths in Amsterdam in 1852.
Connected with the death of these two
women the following is related = The wild
Qw, Catharine Spelling, and her daughter,
Dorothy, were joint .pOSsessors OF dia-
and occupied a house by themselves on
HaEland ST., Amsterdam. One day in the
summer of 1852 placard appeared on their
Six weeks rolled around and still the pla-
OF the police we're aroused by the long abb
sonce of the women, and the house was
entered. The placard was found to be
fearful deception .the bodies of the two
women were found on the floor, their dia-
monds missing. and no clue to the murder
er and thief discovered. In July last the
house was torn down and in its destruction
came to light a circumstance equaling in
horror the discovery of the assassination
of the two lone women. Between the
house taken down and the adjoining one
was a space of about foot, and confined
In this narrow cell was found the skeleton
of man, caught midway between the top
and bottom, and on the ground beneath
him were found the diamonds, the bonds
and the money of the two murdered wo-
men. The assassin, ir attempting 10 es-
cape, had missed his footing fallen be-
tween the houses. and with strip of blue
sky visible above the high walls of his liv-
ing tomb, had starved to death.

Then one of the little girls took up the
story: ooh, mother, Tommy's picture will
be burned, and we can never get another.
Tommy's dead you know" she explained.
The mothers eyes grew misty, and SO
did the Germans and the doctors, and
many others. There they were in that old
/ deserted cemetery, a company of strangers.
: not one of whom had ever seen the others 5
face before, exchanging their confidence
and mingling their tears.
| All day long the fugitives poured into
this strange encampment, and by night
they numbered 80, 900. There was shout
ing, swearing, laughing, weeping, wailing.
There was paid -stupefaction, sullen si-
lence, and faces of black despair-every
kind of face except the happy variety.
The air was thick with frightful stories of
arsonj of men hanging to lamp posts; of
incendiaries hurled headlong into the fires
| they had kindled; of riot, mobs and law
lessness. There was scarcely a suburb
that was not reported to be burning mp,
and prairie fires were said to be raging
The fate of Sodom was believed to have
overtaken Chicago and her dependent
suburbs.
''There'sno safety here" said Mrs. Live
ly nervously as the flames approached the
cemetery. "Do let's get out of this horrid
place. What in the world do you want to
stay here for ?''
''My DEAR replied tile doctor with
twinkle, 81 don't want to stay here. We
are not certainly safe, but don't know of
any place where our chances would be any
BETTER

An Incident Of the Chicago Fire.

The wind had again risen to hurricane.
All around was a storm of 6rebrands, as
though the flakes in snow-storm had
| been turned to flame. Great sheets of bla-
zing fet-rooflng were driven overhead.
Everywhere timbers and masonry were
| falling; walls a half square in length came
| down with the thuuder's crash, and in such
| quick succession that the noise ceased to
be noticed. Thousands of frantic people
were pushing wildly in every direction.
The crowds seemed bewildered, lost, fren-
zicd. And what wonder? The world
seemed to be burning up, the heavens to
be melting; a star looked like a speck of
blood, SO that the whole canopy of heaven
when visible seemed blood-spattered. AS
the doctor was gazing at the terrible spec
tacle the cry ran from mouth to mouth that
all the bridges across the west branch of
the river were burned. There were thou
sands OF spectators from the West Divi-
sion who had come over to witness the
melting away of the South Side business
palaces. If the bridges were burned, there
remained but one avenue by which they
| could reach their homes. There were cries
of ''the tunnel! the tunnelP' a panic and
grand rush, in which everybody was
borne westward toward Washington street
tunnel. DR.. Lively found himself forced
into the tunnel. 1t was crowded with TITO
streams of wildly excited people moving

away from it. Most of these latter were
carrying articles of furniture and bales of
goods, or they were wheeling loaded bar
rows. Everybody was crowding and push
ing. Our doctor had made his way thro'
about cne third of the tunnel when sud
denly every light went out. The great
gasometer of the South Side gas-works
had exploded. He was under the river, in
the bowels Of the earth, in the midst of
that wild crowd of humanity, and in utter
darkness. ''There will be panic,' he
thought: call the weak will be overrun and
trampled to death. God help them and
help us allr' Then there came to him a
flash of inspiration: ''Keep to the rightr'
he shouted, ''to the rightr' 'tKeep to the
rightp' repeated an abetting voice. etc
the rightr' ''Keep to the rightP' 'Right

from one end of the dark way to the other
Then hush seemed to fall on the lips as
as though the hearts were at prayer, and
the two streams moved along like process
sions through the dark valley Of the shadow
of death.

THE BABY's FIRST ToOTH-Mr. and
Mrs. HARRISON had just finished their break
fast. Mr.. HARRISON had just pushed back,
and was looking under the lounge for his
boots. Mrs. HARRISON sat at the table,
holding the infant HARRISON, and mechan-
ically working her forsfinger in its mouth.
Suddenly she paused in the motion, threH
the astonished child on its back, turned as
white as sheet, pried open its mouth,
and immediately gasped, ''Ephraimr' Mr.
HARRISON, who was on his knees with his
head under the lounge, at once came forth,
rapping his head sharply on tho side of
the lounge as he did so, and getting on his
feet inquired what was the matter. go,
Ephrhim;" said she, the tears rolling down
her cheeks and the smiles coursing up.
''Why, what is it; Armethea 9'' said the
astonished Mr.. HARRISON, smartly rubbing
his head where It had come in contact
with the lounge. ''Baby-" she gasped
Mr.. HARRISON turned pale, and commenced
to sweat. ''Baby has-baby has got a
tooth ~ ''No 20 screamed Mr.. HARRISON,
spreading his legs apart, dropping his chin,
and staring at the struggling heir with all
his might. 'I tell you it Isl" persisted
Mrs. HARRISON, with slight evidence of
hysteria. go, o, it can't be,,' protested
Mr.. HARRISON, preparing to swear if it
wasn't. 'Come here and see for YOURSELF"
said Mrs. HARRISON. ''Opsn it's little
mousy wousy for it's own muzzer. That's
toody woody that's blessed little Jump
o. sugar" Thus conjured the heir open
ed its mouth sufficiently for the author of
its being to thrust in his finger, and that
gentleman having convinced himself by
the most indubitable evidence that tooth
was there, Immediately kicked his hat
across the room, buried his fist in the
lounge, and declared with much feeling
and vehemence that he could lick the in
dividual who would dare to intimate that
he was not the happiest man on the face
OF the earth. Then he gave Mrs. Harbi-
son a hearty smack on the mouth, and
snatched up the heir, while that lady
rushed tremblingly forth after Mrs. Sim
mons, who lived next door. In moment
had been shot out by a gun, and right
behind her came Mrs. II. at a speed that
indicated she had been elected from two
guns. Mrs. Simmons at once snatched the
heir from the arms of Mr.. III. and hurried
it to the window, where she made care
full and critical examination Of its mouth,
while Mrs. II. held its head, and tried TO
still the throbbings of her heart, and Mr..
! H. danced up and down and snapped his
fingers to show how calm he was. 1thav-
I ing been ascertained by Mrs. Simmons
| that the tooth was sound one and also
that the strongest hopes for its future
could be entertained ON account of its com
ing in the new of the moon, Mrs. HARRISON
got cut the necessary material, and Mr.
HARRISON at once proceeded to write seven
different letters to as many persons, un
folding to them the event of the morning
and inviting them to come on as soon al
possible. Netos.
