AN old physician died in Sedalia
Mo, the other day, who had among the
ornaments" OF his study, skull, the
history ofwhich is curious. Forty'three
years ago he had an intimate friend, q
young Polish officer; together they
shared the privations and the pleasures
of soldiers lite. In one disastrous
struggle his friend fell. and searching
out his remains he severed the head
from the body, prepared it, preserved it,
and ever after carried it with him in
all his wanderiugs.

THE NEW WORLD,

Gold closed in New York on the S1st at
1875.
A called meeting of members of the Repub-
lcan party opposed to the nomination of Gen,
Butler for Governor was held in Boston few
days ago. Among those present were II. L..
Dawes, E. r. Hoar, George T. Hoar, Speaker
Sanford, II. II. Coolidge, Ex-Speaker Jewell,
Adm Thayer j. NJ. Forbes, and Others. The
meeting was called to order by Judge Hoar,
who emphatically denounced the salary grab,
and pronounced himself as willing to do all in
his power to prevent the State from being car
ried for the author of that measure. A com
mittee of three was appointed to draw up an
address to the people Of the State.
An adjourned meeting of Railroad Man
ayers, Superintendents, and ticket and pas
senger agents, TO consider commissions, free
passes, ETC., was held in st. Louis on the Gath.
Resolutions were adopted declaring that nc
more free passes or half-fare tickets should be
issued after August l, except to officers,
agents and employees of roads. Twenty-one
roads were represented, two-thirds of which
are west Of the Mississippi River.
According to dispatch of the 25th, the po-
lice of st. Louis have reason TO believe that
the robbers of the Iowa railroad train are the
same that robbed the bank in st. Genevieye
Mo-, last May, the Russellville (Ky.) bank two
years ago, and the Gallatin (Mo.) bank, and
also committed several other bold robberies.

across the swollen streams in her way
until night set in, the deep forest sur
rounding her. Cold, wet and hungry,
she sought a place to camp, and by
good Fortune found an old camp, left by
the Indians, upon which about one-half
of the roof still remained. Upon this
she placed her little flock and then col
lected pine boughs and made rude bed.
Placing the little one in the middle, the
heroic girl stripped off her dress and
spread It over the children, then covered
them with boughs to keep them from the
chilly night air, and sat down beside
them, to watch through that long, cold
night, comforting the little one when it
cried, and speaking words Of cheer to the
elder one. The long, dreary hours of
night dragged slowly by, and at the first
peep of day she resumed her toilsome
march, and had nearly reached the first
settler when she met her parents return
ing. An elder and wiser head might
have found an easier way out of this
dilemma, but we feel certain that no one
could have acted drawer, or have endured
more than the little daughter of Thomas
Velfe.-- Wisconsin, RjUer Pilot.

Skill Of a POst-0ffice Clerk---SOme
Terrible "SpeIls."

Speaking of the Philadelphia lawyers,
the distributing clerk in charge of the
foreign letters which come through the
Chicago POstOflice was evidently cut out
for one; if not, his experience has been
such as to amply fit him for the profes-
sion of deciphering unintelligible signs
and hieroglyphics. Many of the super
scriptions which come through his hands
are among the most mysterious of cyphers
unintelligible from the writer's not know
ing what he wanted TO write, rather than
illegible through carelessness in writing.
When countryman of Gustavus Vasa,
for instance, still alternating upon his
native hills, sends letter to his brother
in this country, and writing from memo
ry, and n memory not much trained in
letters at that, superscribes it "Seederabst
lenco Ia" he has succeeded in mystifying
the average human mind considerably re-
garding the intended destination of his
mssive. Not at all the post-oflice clerk,
who at once sees that Cedar Rapids, Linn
County, Iowa" is meant. So, too, when
from the Bremen bag greasy packet
hutters out, addressed to "Hafte Lac Co,
ILL.," it is no doubt difficult TO discern,
after the letters of the legend have been
evolved from the chaos in which a stiff
llSb dnu'd NlildinOuS pen nave lclb tlSLl,
that the packet Is intended for some one
in Half Day, Lake County, Illinois"
and thither il therefore goes. But when
the only address to be made out from an
other-and that by no means sure, so
vague are the forms of the letters-is
"Chollyhutville Co Ill.," then it is that
brain tells in the distributing business.
Brains finally result in solution of the
palimpsest, and Joliet Will County, IL
linois," is the Interpretation thereof In
like manner, Verseaux incauque Co
Amerika" is superscription which could
have emanated from nowhere else but
Francois decided to mean WARSAW,
Hancock County" and it is found that II.
linois has such a town, in such county
so the letter is forwarded thither, and has
doubtless gladdened or saddcned the heart
of its object before nOW.=Lnkeside Rerielr

A Young Heroine.

Thomas Velfe and wife, with a family
of small children, settled in this county
something more than year ago, and, be-
ing poor, they, after many hardships
erected a small dwelling and cleared a
few acres of land, but they were in the
wilderness, ten miles from neighbors. A
few weeks ago the father and mother lett
their family, consisting of girl aged
twelve years, one aged nine years, and
two other children, aged respectively
three years and thirteen menths, on a
trip to the settlement to get COW and
bring in some potatoes to plant After
the parents had been gone a few hours
the house took fire, and the Oldest girl
Immediately rushed to the roof with
water, but not being able to remove the
shingles she could do nothing to stay the
flames, which gained rapidly, spreading
on the inside of the roof, until, bursting
through, they drove her from her work.
The heroic girl now turned her attention
to saving her brothers and sisters. Com
ing to the door of the building, she found
that the child next to her own age had
got out Of the house, bringing the baby
with her, but the little three-year-old
had orouched under q shaving horse in
the further corner of the room. There
bSiAiS Nv Nil"hAOSi AAoOAi VIZ hlN was hlbp-
ping from the burning roof between the
child and the door, and when asked to
come out it refused to do so, saying, 81
am safe here-the fire don't drop here"
Our little heroine hesitated only moment,
but rushing through the falling embers
brought the little one to a safe place, both
having their clothes somewhat burnt
But now comes the hardest part of the
task before her. Scantily clothed and
with no food, she took the babe in her
arms and with the other children started
upon the trail for the settlement. After
gcing few miles, she encountered arapid
stream, swollen by the spring rains, so
that in fording It the water came up "a
her arm pits. She first carried the babe
across, and then the little three-yearold
and lastly, half led and half carried hel
older sister through the water 20 the
other bank. Three times during the
! remainder Of the day, she struggled

The following is from an Eastern
exchange: A young, good-looking and
unaccompanied country lass, of nineteen
or twenty Junes, drove up to hitching
post on Main street yesterday afternoon,
and leaping from the wagon tied her
horse by the bride and went her way up
Main street, to do some shopping. Pres
emily the steed began to manifest some
uneasiness for some reason, backing and
dancing around at a great rate. Several
bystanders, ignorant of the cause Of the
disquietude, were devising various means
for its alleviation, when a professional
horse iocky appeared upon the scene, and
with some "bunkum" announced that a
curb bit caused all the trouble. He then
adjusted a rein around the horses neck
and thought that sufficient to quiet him.
but afterwards he was again uneasy, until
finally the young lady herself approach
ed. Observing his restless movements
and their cause at a glance, she walked
quickly up to him, seized the bride, and
rolling up her sleeves to the elbow, thrust
her hand into the animals mouth, grasp
ed his tongue, and placed it under the bit,
where ii belonged, Instead of over it, then
turned to the spectators around and quiet
ly remarked that "she guessed he'd stand
now" Being temperance lecturers and
insurance agents they were not so much
ashamed as they should have been.

Chinese Philosophy.

In ancient times there lived a man
Shien. During travelling tour he had oc-
casion to rest for the night at a road house.
The weather. was insutferably hot, and
within the room mosquitoes swarmed by
thousands. Shien fortunately had pro-
vided himself with curtains, but unfor-
tunately the curtains were insufficient to
resist the enemy. His efforts to keep
them out were in vain, sounds of buzzing
in unpleasant proximity still continued,
and writhing under the intolerable tor
ment of their stings, his thoughts trans
planted themselves to his own peaceful
home, He reflected on the spacious halls,
cool couches, and the crowd of hand
maids to fan and wait on their lord; and,
continued he to himself, how is it that I
should have suffered one moment of enHui
in such paradise? Why leave to seek
pleasure and find misery abroad? Dur
ing these meditations he observed the
keeper of the post, who had no curtains,
pacing the room with the mosqitoes
swarming around him. But what seemed
to him inexplicable was that the man still
appeared to be in perfect good humor.
Shien, still writhing in misery, exclaimed ::
"My good fellow, you are one hundred
times worse off than myself, but how Is
it that while am in torment of mind,
you on the contrary seem happy?" The
keeper replied: Sir, l have just been
recalling to mind the position l was once
placed in; when prisoner, bound hand
and foot, was helpless prey to these
murderous insects, unable to move mus
Gle, they preyed upon me with impunity,
and the agony was unbearable 1t was
the contrast Of that horrible period with
my present condition that produced that
feeling of contentedness within me. Shien
was startled by the mine herein unfolded.
Would, he thought, that the world in
ordinary life would but daily keep in
mind, and carry out such principle of
analogy. How vast then would be the
result to man ?-Noyth China Herald.
