on arriving on the island, their conduct

on arriving on the island, their conduct
was at least inexplicable.
''n February, potatoes, and other
vegetables, mixed with pigs fat, formed
their daily food; but in March, that
food being exhausted, another visit was
paid to the plateau, and the goats were
then missed, which they had abstained
from shooting, but they shot several
pigs. At this time their one great com
fort, tobacco, failed, and this to Ger
man is more than we English should
feel; they tried to replace it by dried
leaves, but without success.
The dogs which they had brought on
shore broke loose, and played sad havoc
among the penguins, killing great
numbers, and as one was apparently
mad, the three were shot 1t was now
decided that the brothers should sepe-
rate for time, the elder to remain on
the plateau to provide food, whilst the
younger remained below to melt down
and store the fat, and attend to the
clearing, he want of salt prevented cur
ing the flesh. Three young pigs had
been caught and got down the cliffs
without injury, then secured to cask
and flowed round the point, but were
nearly drowned on the passage; they
were placed in a sty, and fed with grass
and what could be spared from the gar
den, and also with peng,iins' eggs, when
prOcurable.
cat the end of April, the elder re-
joined the younger, and III the attempt
to convey two more pigs round the
bluff, was nearly drowned; the pigs
We're. In June Frederic again went to
the plateau, and remained there until
the 18th of August; the brothers were
not altogether without communication
during that time, for, excepting when
the noise of the wind or surf prevented,
they could hold kind of conversation.
In June, July, and August they lived
on pigs flesh only; the penguins then
began to lay, and in their eggs they
had abundance of food"
Evidently, this precarious mode of
life could not last. The brothers had
made grievous mistake III not follow
ing out their original intention of set
Ting in Tristan da Cuncha, and subse-
quently they committed a serious
blunder III not taking the earliest OPP
portunity of leaving spot where they
endured II series Oh eAtTaOTulllaGy uaIu-
ships.
At length they had the good fortune
to be happily rescued. The captain of
the Challenger, when at Tristan da
Cunha, having heard that two Germans
had landed ON Inaccessible Island,
twenty miles to the southwest, two
years previously, feared they were III
difficulties, and went to their succor
The ship arrived at the island on the
10th of October, found the two unfortrl-
nate exiles, took them on board, and
carrying them off, terminated their
Robinson Crusoe-like existence.

RAILROAD RIOT.

A railroad riot occurred III Kansas
City, Kan, the ninth inst. The mayor
of that suburb published an ordinance
passed by the council, prohibiting GER
tain customs on the Kansas Pacific,
Missouri Pacific, and other roads in that
portion of the town, with reference to
crossing streets, etc. Another ordinance
provided for opening new street,
which would cross the property of the
Kansas Pacific and Missouri Pacific
Companies. When workmen and en-
gineers went to survey and grade the
street, they were met by large force
of railroad men, under orders to prevent
the work Of the city engineers. A par
ley was had, but the railroad force
would allow no movement toward the
work. Mayor Orbedason called out all
citizens capable of bearing arms The
riot act was read and work again at
tempted, but violent opposition was made
by the railroad force, and general
melee ensued. Bells and whistles were
blown, calling railroad reinforcements
from the shops. The mayors forces
worked rapidly and captured twenty
rioters and two engines which were sent
among them as modern battering rams.
The city officials won the field and held
1t, but things are still excited.

ago, greatly embarrassing the principal
contractor. This contractor owned sew
eral loc motives, employed in construc-
ton. One OF them was attached and
put IN charge of keeper in Vermont.
The contractor was DESTROYS Of obtain
ing the locomotive, to use it elsewhere
There was no let-up on the part of the
creditors, and the locomotive remained
exposed at the precise point where it
had been seized, and the keeper
placed in charge. The con
tractor resoited to strategy. He
sent up an engineer and fireman
with written request to the attaching
parties that they would allow the en-
glne to be fired up and worked, 50 as to
lubrcate the machinery and thus save
depreciation. The bait took, and the
Keeper was instructed to allow this
privilege. The engine was fred up. and
the keeper went on the experimental
trip until they arrived at a station near
winch there was a well-known saloon.
1t was proposed to step off for refresh
ments. The keeper agreed, the fire
man accompanying him. Meanwhile
the keeper kept his eye on the locomo-
tive, and seeing the engineer backing
and filling he thought all was right.
Suddenly the engineer opened the throt-
tie wide" and in short time was

A Scene for a Study.
LEAN INGELOM.

JEAN lNGELoM
White lay the snow over roof, over void
White hung the moon i'll the frosty sky;
And huddled sheep, that crouched in the fold,
Wore the white rainent dropped from on
high
But little window, rustic and old,
Cleaned cheerily red on the wanderers nigh
A painter passed on his way, that night;
'iWhat a scene for study y, the painter
said;
9: Fairly CLEANS that ruby light,
Iccles fringe it from overhead;
Oh moon, thou art ghostly! Oh world thou
art white!
I'll look in the window all warm and red
so he looked-but whatever his eyes might see
His pencil told not. his lips were dumb,
might guess. but who would listen to me!
And the days of the painter have told their
Would you know. you must wait till your soul
is free,
And YOU two meet i'll the world to come.
Here is the study the painter wrought;
little way off that window glows,
And the prints OF children leet ale Drought
Up to the doorway, athwart the SHOWS,
And the moonbeams fell like All afterthouSht,
And silyers their pathway who now repose.
Cold shows the world and the sky round about.
And warm breaks tina, ruddy light between;
OF the painter thought | need not doubt,
For long like his study his life has been
All long time his lot was to walk without,
From the one light apart, in wintry scene.
But 1 hope, where the white flakes freeze no
more,
| hope. where winter is over over and gone,
For the cold Of the night that went before
He almost forgets how he made his moan;
And almost forgets how they closed the door,
Aud doomed him to work III the world-alone.

THE FASTING GIRL.

The case of Louise Lateau, the fast
ing girl of Bots d'Haine, is creating
great excitement in Germany, and some
of the Rhine provinces are in such a
ferment that the matter was deemed Of
sufficient gravity for discussion at the
meeting OF German naturalists held re-
Gently at Breslau. Louise Lateau is a
girl who in her childhood showed extra
ordinary zeal in the practice Of her
religious duties. In 1866 she became
subject to ecstacies, and two years after
stigmata, that is, marks representing
the wounds Of Christ, made their APP
pearance upon her body, and
bled on Fridays. During the
last three years it is al
legged that she has only eaten wafer
daily and drunk two spoonfuls of water
weekly. Prof. Virchow, the eminent
physician and savant, who has treated
similar cases of fasting, is about to take
the girl into his institution, although,
as he says, cit has given him the great
est trouble, even perfectly organized as
his hospital is, to trace out the tricks
and shifts to which such persons as
Louise Lateau resort" The Professor
undertakes the investigation of the case
at the request of the leading Roman
Catholic newspapers, which regard it as
a miracle.

Upon adjournment of the ANIMAL
meeting OF the national association of
wooden manufacturers, recently held in
New York, the manufacturers of fancy
cassimeres assembled TO discuss the adj
visibility of a decrease in the produc-
ton of goods. The common feeling
was that the condition of trade demand
ed lessening of production, and, while
many objected to sign a paper agreeing
to this, about twenty-five mills, through
their representatives, agreed to stop 25
months. Very many of the companies
whose names are not upon the paper
have adopted the course advised The
necessity of such plan is felt by all
