Russian Horses

An English writer says A specially
of renoWn in Russia are the little horses
Of the Mushik. They are hardy in the
first instance, as everything is in Russia,
and they are quick and strong Two of
these little horses, hardly large enough
to be called ponies, will draw a pillow all
day with a pause at noon. They are
now largely exported (under the name
OF Litthauers) to Prussia, and in some
places have altogether dispossessed the
oxen of their old privileges. [ worked
with them on one Of the estates of Bar
on Pfuce. where they were fed upon
chaff of any description, even of lupines,
very successfully, condimented with
some potato refuse from the distillery.
In harvest time, when the little mice
had to work like brewers horses, I ad-
ministered to them some bran, and they
grew fat even under so unfavorable cir
cumstances. We soon had some twenty
more sent down, and so we would spare
them little, and send them into the
inclosure with the foals now and then.
Two OF them were able to draw the
Champion reaper all day long, and got
two pecks OF oats each as an encourage
ment. They, too, laid on flesh during
the time. mean to say that they are
the most useful animals for easy agri-
culture existing, as we used to work
them.

A ThirtY-seYen DAYS, Fast.

A man named Van der Veken was dis
covered, on the 18th instant, stretched
insensible on bed in a garrett in this
city. He was taken to the hospital and
then gave signs of life; but it was not
till the next day that he had strength
to speak. Then he asked what day it
was and on being informed that it was
the 18th of August, said: 81 have
been there these thirty-seven days" A
little latter he became better able to
speak, and in reply to questions, he in
formed the doctor that early in July he
had been suffering from a splitting of
blood. He was alone in his garnet, but
expecting that he would be better, and
not wishing to trouble any one, he lay
down on the bed. Here, however, he
found himself becoming so weak that he
could not rise, and though he tapped on
the wal, no one appeared to have heard
him. Near his bed was a pitcher of
water, and he was able, by means of a
small can, to get some out of it from
time to time. Little by little he lost
his remaining strength, until he found
himself unable to move. He could not
speak and his sight became dim from
time to time, until all power of vision
faded. Still his sense of hearing con-
tlnued most acute, and he says he could
detect the smallest sound, though ut
terly powerless to articulate a syllable.
He is now recovering, and it is expected
will, with care, be thoroughly restored.

A NIGHT IN A SIGNAL-BOX.

[ am the wife Of an ex-signalman on
the Uniform railway. His signal-box
stands high up, white and solitary,
above a charming country.
It is very hot in summer, when the
sun shines on the glass, and very cold
in winter, when the northeast wind
bowls around it, and whistles aerial
music through the telegraph.
It was an important lookout, for,
within mile of it, numerous lines in
tersected each other, over which, day
and night, trains were ever crossing and
re-crossing, with hairbreadth escapes of
collisions.
When John was counting me, he often
made me tremble about it by saying,
"Jane, that place is trouble to me !;
one day I know there will be a crash I
feel it. A man can't be always in health.
Even a signalman's brain will some
time become dazed and muddled and
then, if he makes a mistake, a smash
must come"
We were married, and John grew
brighter and more cheerful, and trust
ed he had forgotten that wretched pre-
sentiment of his about collision.
After SIX months, however, it re-
turned, worse than ever. He used to
read all the accidents; and, when any
of The officials were convicted for man
slaughter or discharged for negligence,
he would say, " That may be my case
tomorrow, Jane then what's to become
of you ??
/ am aware most men would not have
thought, like him, but he had the kind
est. most sensitive heart.
"John." L said at last, "why don't
YOU cult the situation, and get some
thing else?"
"Because married man should never
give up one employment before he's
sure of another"
"WeIl, then, dear, don't say any
more, or you'll make me as nervous as
yourself"
/ had hosrn to think about the cross
lines and NJ mail expresses as much as
John hims Ii, though [ wouldn't let
him know it. The signal box began to
haunt me, and I used frequently to go
up to the turn of the road and look at it
for nothing at ALL That idea of col
hsion was a monomania with joint
was becoming so with me.
A year went by safely, and, except for
that miserable thought, no two persons
could be happier than John and I, es-
pecially as we now had little daugh-
ter, who, for a while, banished Johns
dread, and we talked hopefully of the
future. Our prospects were better, for

Horrors Of the South African Gold
DiggingS.

An English emigrant, writing from
6rdsoane, gives a sad picture of the
sut1er1ngs OF those who went out to the
Palmer gold diggings. "Since the
18th of March, !" he saws. "I have been
very Ill, out now, L am thankful to say,
l am perfectly recovered. Since I last
wrote l have had something fearful to
undergo, and am one of the lucky
ones to escape as [ have. Hundreds of
poor fellows have lost their lives, and
what fearful deaths some of them have
had Some died from starvation, some
were drowned, others were killed by
blacks, and hundreds were carried off
by dysentery. Even grass and rotten
horsehesh were eagerly devoured.
There were three others who started
with me-. One died, and the other two
are now in hospital, and it is doubtful
whether they will ever recover. We
were nearly shipWrecked, and to save
the vessel we had to smother seventy
SIX horses among which were three of
mine, worth 975. Anyhow, managed
to reach the gold field, and in one day L
got ga los worth Of gold and the fever
with it, After being unable to walk or
scarcely stand for about ten days, I
started to walk back to the seaport
2OO miles. All the provisions [ had to
carry me down were six pounds of -four
and four ounces of tea-neither sugar
nor anything else. I counted twenty
three fresh graves on the road, all OF
which had been made since I went up
about a fortnight before. Some had
been travelling alone, and had lain down
and died and there the bodies lay till
the next traveller came along, and if
they were not too much decomposed,
they were buried if too far gone, a few
branches were thrown over them, and
there they were left. My expedition
cost me 914O, and I got "a los in
retnrn "

A Squirrels Leap.

Recently little red squirrel, having
been pestered considerably by the lads
above the saw-mill of Eben Webster &
Co., on Marsh Point, Oroso, took ref
uge for life by running up the large
brick chimney near the mill. By cling
ing to the corner he kept foothold so
we'll that he succeeded in reaching the
very top. Here he found himself upon
the iron cap, 1861 feet from the ground.
AS more and more of the waste stuff
from the mill was added to the furnace
the chimney grew hotter, and his situa-
ton became more and more disagreed
BILE. He tried to descend upon the side
OF the chimney, but, after getting down
a few feet, gave it up, turned about and
went back. BY this time the chimney
top had become so hot that he must
leave it, so, after looking about care
fully for few minutes, he evidently
made up his mind that he must leap to
save his life, and this he did, spreading
out his legs and balancing himself SO
that he struck the ground about fifty
feet from the base uninjured, and i'm
mediately scampered off and secreted
himself under a pile of boards little
distance away.-Bangor (Me.) Wing.

He Thought He Loved Her, and then
He Wasn't Sure about 1t.

Joe - was freshman at Cornell
He had long felt preference for Miss
Carrie -, of Toledo, and when he
came home for the summer vacation,
and they went rowing on the Maumee
one evening, the stiffness of the
water, the mellowness of the moonlight
and the enticing solitude were too much
for Joe, and after holding Carries little
hand awhile, and trying to teach her
how to row on the same seat with him,
which Carrie found quite difficult
especially as the oars were of the spoon
fashion-he succumbed to the democrat
izing influence of the scene and pro-
posed, and before he could say Tom
Collins he had pretty girl sobbing in
his arms.
sit will be three years before 7
graduate. Can you wait until then,
darling? ?"
Carrie was twenty lone, Joe nineteen.
She seemed little bit startled, but
said, :" Yes, love-"
Joe had had time to think about it
now, and there came into his mind a
faint suggestion that he might have
been just trife premature, and he
wondered if he really loved Carrie.
''Father thinks I had better take a
couple of years at the Yale Law School
after [ get through the literary course"
he faltered. A piteous expression was
on Carries face, but it softened into
one of calm resignation as she sighed,
Yes, love-" But he heard her whisper
family to herself, give years!' His
guilty conscience confirmed the sus-
picion that he did not adore her as he
should. He commenced with desper-
ate calmness, and ended with shrek ::
Uncle says that ! must finish off with
four or five years at the German Uni
versities, and then I aOd1at several
gears to travel :"
Carrie looked wild and tainted. She
has concluded she won't wait.
