A Tale Of Chicago.

He occupied delightful quarters IN a
genteel boarding house not more than a
million of miles from the corner OF
Wabash avenue and Eldridge court.
The old dweller in Chicago, knowing
perfectly the general character OF its
different thoroughfares, may doubt that
there is such a thing rs a boarding
house anywhere in the neighborhood /;
but he was exceptionally good-loOking.
and decidedly dapper, and perhaps was
taken in for the sake of his company
so it is not material about the boarding
house theory.
He patronized the barker and the
boot-blaek with great regularity, and
ordered from his taller quite as.often as
he paid his bills. He was pretty man,
very pretty, with profusion of cusls,
plenty of perfume, and a very winning
way. He was lavish too-that is, Of
his company and he parted with it
readily to ladies.
He shone as beau, and women dotted
upon him. It is even thought that they
sometimes tore each others hair ont in
lively controversies concerning him.
He was so nice, so distingne, so, TO sum
ND with that feminine climax, so per
fectly splendid.
Now he showered his attentions upon
an eligible blOnde-again upon an en-
eaeinE brunette. Wouid he marry
was the mental question which the
ladies propounded to themselves. And
every appearance indicated that If he
got a good chance he would. So young,
so gay, so deboniar, he couldn't be
widower, and happy would be the wo-

affections and lead him in rosy chains to

NUMBER 4.
The Death AGONY.

Death is usually preceded by a
growth of phenomena that has received
the name of the death agony. In most
cases of disease the beginning of this
concluding period is marked by a sud
den improvement of the functions. 1t
IS the last CLEAN springing from the
dying flame but soon the eyes be-
come fixed and insensible to the action
of light the nose grows pointed and
cold the mouth, wide open, seems to
call for the air that fails il the cavi-
ty within is parched, and the lips, as If
withered, cling to the curves Of the
teeth. The last movements Of respi-
ration are spasmodic, and q wheezing,
and sometimes q marked gurgling
sound may be heard at some distance,
caused by obstruction of the bronchial
tubes with quantity OF mucus. The
breath is cold, the temperature of the
skin lowered. If the heart is examined
we note the weakening of its sounds
and pulsations. The hands, placed in
its neighbOrhoOd, feel no throb. Such
is the physiognOmy of a person in
the last moments of death IN the greater
number of cases that is, when death
follows upon period Of illness Of some
duration. The death struggle is sell
dom painful, and almost always the
patient feels nothing Of it. He is plum
ged into comatose stupor, so that he
is no longer conscious of his situation
or his sufferings, an1 he passes insensi-
bly, from life to death, in manner
that renders it sometimes difficult TO
fix the exact instant at which a dying
person expires. This is true, at least,
in chronic maladies, and especially in
those that consume the human body
slowly and silently.
Yet when the hour of death comes
for ardent organizat great ar
lists, for instance-and they usually die
young-there is quick and sublime
new burst of life in the creative genius.
There is no better example of this
than the angelic end of Beethoven,
who, before he breathed out his soul,
that tuneful monad, regained his lost
speech and hearing, and spent-them in
repeating for the last time some of
those sweet harmonies which he called
his Prayers to God.
Some diseases, moreover, are most
peculiarly marked by the gentieness
of the dying agony. or all the ills
that cheat us while killing by pin
pricks, consumption is that which wears
longer for us the illusive look of health
and best conceals the misery, and the
horror of dying. Nothing can be com
pared with that hallucinatiou of the
senses and that livingness of hope which
mark the last days of the cOnsumptive.
He takes the burning of his destroying
fever for a healthful symptom, he forms
his plans and smiles calmly and cheer
fully on his friends, and suddenly some
morrow of a quiet night, he falls into
a sleep and never wakes.-PopulGr

A Short Session Predicted.

Old members Of the house begin to
predict q short session. The ground
for this prediction in the fact that there
is no surplus in the treasury to be leg
isIated away. At best, fOur-ffths Of ali
the bills introduced look TO the expen-
diture of publie money, directly or IN
directly; but as there is no money to
spend beyond what is absolutely neces-
sary to meet the requirements Of the
regular appropriation bills, It follows
that all this mass Of Legislative pro
positions viii have TO 90 over until next
session without definite action. The
folly of spending time upon measures
which cannot be passed, however meri-
torious they may be, for rant Of money
TO pay the demands they make upon
the treasury, begins to be apparent.
Beside the empty treasury, there - an
other circumstance that viii help 70
shorten the session. All the members
Of the house will have to 60 before
their constituents for reelection next
fall, and all are therefore interested in
making as economical q showing as pos
sibIe Of the results Of the sessions

The Dead of 1873,

The death-roll of 1873 is long one,
and embI aces the names of many emil

ers who have died, and whose names are
familiar the world over, the following
are the most prominent The Emperor
Napoleon Sir Edward Bulwer Iiytton !;
Adam Sedgwick, the English geOlogist !;
Macready, the great tragedian; John
Stuart Mill, the economist Ratazzi,
the prominent Italian statesman Clara
Mundt, the novelist, better known as
Louisa Muhlbach Sir Edward Land

II is said by those who have com
pared the lists of prominent dead FOX
1873 with those of 1882 or 1851, that
though the mortality among distin-
guished men has been very great, it Is
not 50 large as la those years. and per
haps not 50 great as ia Others that might
be mentioned. However, this may be,
the roll is a long and painful one, and
contains many names whose owners
have not only the plaudits of their
own country, but the admiration Of the
world.

Following a Buck TO Sea.

During the camp hunt on st. James
island by some of our citizens, an incl
dent occurred which is perhaps without
a parallel in the annals of hunting, and
deserves to be recorded. A large buck,
closely pursued by that famous stag
hound, old Ring, belonging TO Mr.. Hop
kins, took water and headed right out
to sea; the dog, without hesitation
boldly followed him IN his voyage over
the g dark and treacherous waves.
They were watched with intense inter
est by the hunters until each was a
mere speck upon the surface Of the sea,
and until they were finally and tctosln
lost to Vies0. After some time, when It
was supposed that both dog and deer
had found q waterY and perhaps q
bloody grave. IN mortal combat, or been
deyoured by shs ks. q small object was
discovered, which proved to be old
