GENERAL PILLsBURY's NERvE.-In
sketch Of the life of the late Gen. Amos
Pllsbury, the Albany Express relates
the following interesting incident: About
that time $500 his father was appointed
Superintendent of the Connecticut State
prison, his son being the deputy; but in
1882, his father having resigned, Amos
Pillsbury was rendered the position, al-
though but twenty-five years of age. II
was in this institution, and almost quar-
ter OF n ccntusy ago, that desperate fell
low named Scott was confined for fifteen
years. He was determined not to work,
nor to submit to any of the rules, and
shortly after entering the institution no
nearly cut off his left hand to avoid do
ing any labor. But his wound WAS i'm
mediately attended to, and in less than
one hour afterward he was engaged in
turning crank with one hand. For this
he threatened to murder the warden on
the first opportunity, and in some way
getting hold Of razor he sharpened it
for the dread purpose. Hearing of this
Mr.. Pillsbury sent for him and COM
manded him to shave him. He eyed
the man steadily, seated himself in the
chair and the operation began, the pris-
oner's hand trembling the while. When
the shaving was finished, the Superin-
tendent said: ~ have been told you
meant to murder me, but / thought
might trust you." "God bless you sir.
you may !" replied the regenerated man,
broken down. From that
moment he became one of the best be-
haved criminals in the prison, was treat
ed well, and remained on his good be-
havior until Mr.. Pillsbury left. But
when the new warden was appointed,
Scott tried to escape, and murdered tho
keeper. For this crimo he was hanged
he year following, in Hartford.

AMONG the Russian legends concern
ing Christ the following is told: Some
times the sacred visitor rewards with
temporal goods the kindly host who has
Hospitality received him. Thus the story
of " Beer and Corn tells how certain
man was so poor that, when the other
peasants were brewing beer, and making
other preparations for the approaching
feast Of the Church, that he found his
cupboard perfectly bare. In vain did he
apply to rich neighbor who was in the
habit of lending goods and money at
usurious rates having no security to Of
fer, he could borrow nothing. But on
the eve of the festival, when he was sit
ting at home in sadness, he suddenly
rose and drew near to the sacred paint
ing which hung in the corner, and sighed
heavily and said {:
Oh Lord forgive me, sinner that l
am have not even wherewith to buy
oil, so as to light the lamp before the i'm
age for the festival I"
Soon afterward an old man entered the
cottage, and obtained leave to spend the
night there. After time the guest in
quired why his host was so sad, and on
learning the reason, told him to go again
to his rich neighbor and borrow quart
Of malt. The mujik obeyed and soon re-
turned with the malt, which the old man
ordered him to throw into his we'll.
When this was done the villager and his
guest went to bed.
Next morning the old man told his
host to borrow number of tubs and fiji
them with liquor drawn from the well,
and then to make his neghbors assem-
BILE and drink it. He did so and the
buckets were filed with such beer as nei-
ther fancy nor imagination can conceive,
but only a skazka can describe. The
villagers excited by the news, collected
in crowds and drank the beer and re-
joiced. Last of all came the rich neigh
Dor, begging to know how such wonder
full beer was brewed. The mujik told
him the whole story, whereupon he
straightway commanded his servant to
pour all his best malt into his well. And
next day he fastened to the we'll to taste
the liquor 1t contained, but he found
nothing bu. malt and water not drop
was there.-Russian Folk Tales, w. II.

THE POLAR BEAR.-The bear of the
Arctic regions does not hug like other
bears but bites at his opponent; and he
declines to eat his captive until life is ex-
tinct. Like a cat he plays with his vic
tim. Among the Esquimaux of Green
land he plays strange pranks, often creep
ing upon the hunter when busy fencing a
seal, and tapping him on the shoulder
with his powerful paw. 1t is then the
unfortunate mans cue to feign death, so
that when Brownie retreats few PAGES
to enjoy the prospect of his intended meal
the gun can be got ready before he re-
turns again to the attack.

CHICAGO is just now excited over an
aerial fire escape, the invention of Mrs.
Scott Uda. 1t weighs about four hund-
red pounds, and can be used to rescue
people from very high buildings. 1t is
also to be used as derrick. At public
exhibition in one of the stone yards few
days since, it elevated stone weighing
more than ton and half to fair height
and wheeled it around the yard, when it
again deposited its burden on the ground.
1t is thought that this power or combina-
tion of powers might have been used to
build the Pyramids in Egypt.

Florette believed everything that was

Whilst their reconciliation was taking
place, the baron and widow were plotting
to present Florette with ten thousand
