The qualities displayed by young
woman named Mary A. Keyes at the
late fire in Hanover street. Boston,
where the lives Of several firemen and
shop-girls were sacrificed, have
brought Miss Reyes into prominent
notice. The fire broke out in FIVE.
story brick building. occupied in part
by mattress manufacturer, where
large number OF g were employ
ed. The flames spread rapidly in all
directions, cutting off all escape, and
fifteen or twenty girls rushed to the
roof of the building with the intent
ion of throwing themselves into the
street, so craEed were they at the
danger that eucompassed them. Iu
fact, one young woman did jump
from the third story. But while the
excited crowd on the roof was pray.
lag for deliverance, OF from death at
the threatened leap, Miss Reyes sud-
denly appeared on the scene, and,
with remarkable presence of mind,
she succeeded in calming the fright>
ened girls who were surrounded
with imminent danger, and in few
moments crowd of gallant firemen
and as gallant citizens obtained 40
cess to the roof and succeeded in
placing their precious freight on terra
Frma. safe and sound. Admiring the
noble conduct of Miss Reyes the fire
department, few days after, pre-.
sented the young lady with 8 hun
dred dollar gold watch, and now
number of gentlemen have subscribe
ed sufficient sum to give her full
mercantile education. 1t is safe TO
say that that woman will make her
mark in the world. 1t pays to keep
cool. The frantic scene on the roof
of the burning Building deeply at
fected the great crowd in the street
below, and when Miss Reyes made
her appearance the change that took
place in the conduct of the girls was

Anecdote of Senators Pomeroy and

When, one day, weary with the
cares of State, the Senatorfrom Ken
lucky was SHOCKING In his chair, bis
name was called TO vote. A neigh.
Dor punched his ribs and said,
"Wake up, Mr.. Davis, your name is
called" Half unconsiously the Ken
tuekian rose and asked the Vice
President what they were voting on.
The Vice President explained that it
wasIa railroad bill in Kansas. Nv ell, /"
said Mr. Davis in that sbrill voice
and pointed manner of his, "what l
wan TO Rnow before | vote is the
amount Of stealing in this bill"
Whe:eupon the great and good
POmeroy arose, his tace beaming all
over with the smiles only q clear
conscience can produce, and said /:
"lf the Senator from Kentucky will
will permit me / will explain. I
hav' thoroughly Investigated the bill
sir, and / assure you if there is any
stesling in it / cannot find it.
"AlI right, Mr.. President" re-
sponded Senator Davis, "if the Sen a.
tor from Kansas can't find any steal
age, I'm satisfied there is none there. /"

How the Boy Arises.
tFrom the penburr New,l

Calling boy up in the morning
can hardly be classed under the head
of .'rsstimes, especially if the boy is
fond of exercise the day before.
And il is a little singular that the
next hardest thing to getting a boy
out of bed is getting him into it
There is rarely a mother who is a
success at rousing a boy. All moth
els know this; so do their boys.
And yet the mother seems to go att
in the right way. She opens the
s,air-dooor and insinuatingly OBJ
serves: Johnny" There is no re-
spouse. "Jchnny." Still no re-
Spouse. Then there is short sharp
John" followed a moment later by
a prolonged and emphatic "John
Henry" A grunt from the upper
region signifies that an impression
has been made, and the mother is
encouraged to add, You'd better be
getting down here to your breakfast,
young man, before | come up there
an give you something you'll feel"
This so startles the young man that
be imm ediately goes to sleep again.
Aud the operation has to be repeated
several times. A father knows moth.
ing about this trouble. he merely
opens his mouth 80 soda bottle
elects its cork, and the "John Hen :
ry" that cleaues the air of that stair
way goes into that boy like electric
ity, and pierces the deepest recesses
of his very nature. And he pops out
of that bed and into his clothes, down
the stairs with promptness that is
commendab'e. Ii is rarely boy al
lows himself to disregard the parent
al summons. Abolt once q year is
believed TO be as often as consistent
with the rules of health. He saves
his father great many steps by bis
!hougntfulness.

The aggregate amounts to fifty
three millions Of dollars In round
numbers. A large amount of capital
in this country is invested 10 the
brewing interest. In 1863 the pro.
duct of beer was 685 663 barrels,
employing a capital of SIS 855 sos 10
breweries, of s12 1888 10 malt
houses, and of s3b, 393. 060 in land for
the growth of barley and hops; max
ing q total Of sl05, 040, 663 devoted
to the production of beer. 1t is esti
mated that the present capital in.
volved 10 this business amounts to
not less than $3.50, 600, 900, and that
some 10000 persons In breweries,
malt.housss, and growing the raw
IN aterisl are engaged in beer pro-
duction. Between nine and ten mil
lions of barrels are the estimated
product for this year. This enor-
NOUS increase of prod uction shows q
corresponding increase of consump-
ton. The American people sre fast
becoming q nation of great grxzelers.
We suppose there is less harm in
drinking beer than brandy or whis.
Ky but it is better to drink neither,
except for medicinal purpsses.-M-

From Monte Cristo Mr.. Hazard

our hungry voyager waiting two

then aggravating police authorities

allowed TO crafty his raging appe-
tite. "What will you have ?" asked
the polite waiter, when, worn out
with hunger and vexation, he seated
himself at a cafe table. "Every
thing, any thtng-beer, bread fruit,
cheese-bring it all at once" was
the response; and the walters

with but small entrance of perhaps

scrub trees a board with the name of

lines in Russian. Well, the next day
we stood out to sea, in the very

NY children look stricken with grief,
Inc doors on the hinges do moan;
Nowhere can find sweet relief
once was a hght-hearted boy.
AZ gay az the season II spring.
NO troubles my mind did anney,
Like lark in the morning could sing.
But now in the decline Of my life.
The cold winter bfeez 90 DO blow.
Im LEFT and ssreft Of NY wife
cruel and heart rendering blow.
Kind sleep has forssken mine eyes,
Deep anguish has darksned my mine,
My heart palpiiatss with signs,
And with tears I'm continually blind.
How can survive this sad blow,
How can ct rid OF my grief.
My heart seems to waif With lite woe,
And nothing affords me relief.
| pray my dear Savior TO come
And strengthen my mind with his grace,
And dwell with me here In my home
And cheer with the smiles Of his q &c.
