A Pitiful Case of Destitution.

The Wilmington (Del.) Gazette tells the
following pitiful story; While busily en-
gagged in serving his numerous customers,
on Saturday morning, butcher in one of
our market houses observed a poorly dressed
anxious-looking man siding cautiously up
to his stall, and casting longing, hungry
eyes upon the joints and steaks so tempt
ingly displayed. Carelessly keeping an
eye upon the man, and pretending not to
observe him, the butcher soon saw him
hastily snatch up piece of steak, slip it
under his coat, and dart out of the market
house. Without making any fuss, the
owner of the meat beckoned to policeman
who happened to be standing near, told
him what had occurred, and directed him
TO follow and arrest the man with the
meat. The officer soon came up with the
culprit, but being curious to know what
motives induced the act, he followed the
man to his home, in the western portion
of the city. He arrived at the house a
minute or two after the man entered and
looking in at the window, saw sight
which entirely unnamed him, and caused
him to relinquish whatever thoughts he
had previously entertained of making an
arrest. There, seated around the room,
were several wretched-looki children
devouring, with furnishing eagerness, the
raw meat which their father had just
brought in. SO great was their hunger
that they could not wait for the meat to
be cooked, but devoured it in its raw state.
The officer hurried back to the butcher
and told what he had seen. The tender
sensibilities of the latter were touched by
the recital, and seizing basket, he placed
therein some fine pieces of meat A call
upon his fellow butchers, and statement
of the case, soon filed the basket, after
which a small sum of money and the meat
were then taken, and in as delicate man
ner as possible presented to the poor man.
He accepted them thankfully, with tears
of joy and gratitude, and related the mo-
tives which impelled him to act as he did.
Out of money and out Of work, he was
driven to desperation at the suiferings of
his wife and hungry little ones, and left
the house that morning with the determi-
nation to obtain food, or be sent to prison
for the attempt.

The Midnight Initiation at Cornell.

The New York SIN continues TO treat
the death Of young Leggett, Of Cornell
University, who recently fell over preci
pice at Ithaca, New York, as the result
Of the terror he was subjected to in his
initiation into the mysteries Of the Kappa
Alpha Society Of the college. A letter
from Ithaca, N. Y to that journal describes
the scene of the initiation as follows:
The theory generally accepted here,
and which is Endorsed by most of the stu
dents who are not members of the X. A.
Society, is that Leggett was taken to the
gorge to ffighten him. He was blindfold-
ed with an elaborate arrangement Of straps
and buckles, so that he could not possibly
get glimpse of his surroundings until the
moment came for the grand terrorizing.
Some Of the students went down under the
overhanging cliff and fixed the colored
lights. The pharaphernalia for the mas
querade had probably been arranged by
those who had previously arrived. Hor-
rible masks and costumes of devils were
donned. Then the fires were lighted, and
the victim was led to the very verge of the
cliff. At signal, like the firing Of gun
close to his ear, or some equally uncxpect-
ed aud bewildering noise, the blindfold
was snatched off With the noise still
ringing in his ears, and held by two fell
lows in the garb of demons, the scene be-
fore him was calculated to inspire the acme
of terror in boy already bewildered The
glare of lights flashed up from yawning
gulf at his very feet, dazing his eyes that
had been so suddenly uncovered. Demons
danced and howled, with firebands waved
above their heads, around an empty cof-
fin. Every device that could heighten
terror was displayed. The horrible scene
was so suddenly flashed upon him, and
was so far beyond anything that he had
expected, that for an instant in his bewil-
derment he forgot that it was all farce
Recoiling from the counterfeit hell that
yawned at his feet he toppled Lee and
Mason, who were holding him, and the
three fell over the precipice."

An English paper credits Western
exchange with the discovery of a new and
interesting scheme. Itbeats Panch which
once said their extravaganza was smoking
cayendish out of the best family teapot.
One Professor Manlessel would lay on to-
bacco smoke in the manner of gas. The
tobacco is to be burned in large retorts.
The smoke is to pass to large bell-sloped
receptacles. Then it is to be cooled, puri-
fed and scented, and favored to the taste
Of the finest Havana In every house,
where the tobacco is ''laid on there will
be meter Any room in the house can
be supplied with prepared smoke. For
smokers in the street the professor has iu-
vented India rubber bags, fitting tight to
the chest, which, when inflated with smoke
greatly improve the masculine contour.
The smoke thus provided is to be free
from nicotine, and will be furnished at a
reduced expense.

A ToURNAMENTEss.-AW Washington
letter says:-A number of young ladies of
Prince Georges county, Maryland, near
this city, propose giving a tournament very
soon that will surpass anything of the
kind ever seen in this part of the world.
We would like to be witness when this
wonderful exploit of female equestrianism
is performed. Just think of beautiful
girl, mounted on the back of fiery steed
lance in hand, dashing at the ring 2.40
speed, with flowing hair streaming back
on the breeze, her lovely bosom heaving
with excitement like the surging pillows Of
the ocean in storm, her eyes sparkling
like two of the brightest planets in the

pearly white teeth are flashing like ocean
foam Imagine all this, if you eau, and
then you will have but faint idea of what
this female townaJom promises to be.
