sagacity OF Horse.

The following extraordinary story of
equine intelligence and fidelity is taken
from Thompson's "Iistory of Montpel-
ier:"
mot far from the year 1906, Nr. Charles
Stevens, who lived on East HILL made a
horseback journey to Massachusetts, pass
ing down on his way from home, over the
bridge, across the WinoOski, about three
fourths of mile below Daggetps Mills
Village. During his, absence the bridge
had been stripped Of all the plank, prepar-
atory to replanking, or putting in some
new string-pieces. While the bridge was
in this dsmantled condition (Which con-
dtion was wholly unknown and unsus-
pscted by Mr.. Stevens), he reached home,
on his return from his journey, at late
hour on an unusually dark night, totally
unconscious that he had passed through
any peril in passing over the river, which
was only a mile or two from his house.
"'Which way did you come9 asked his
family.
"'The way went, of course
"'No, you couldn't; for the river is roar
| ing high, and there is not single plank
on the BRIDGE
"'Yes, 1 did come the same way and
over the same bridge; and you can't beat
me out OF it,

HETTY M1RVIN,

When the British and Tories attacked
New London, Connecticut, in IL, and set
a price on the head of Governor Griswold,
the latter fed to the town Of l., where
his cousin, Mrs. Marvin, hid him for some
days in secluded farm house. But at
length the subtle foe discovered his retreat,
and one sunny afternoon in May he was
routed from his hiding place by the tid-
ings that n band of horsemen were ap-
preaching to capture him.
His only chance of escape was to reach
the mouth ofa little creek which emptied
itself into the Connecticut River, just
above the entrance of the latter into Long
Island Sound. There he had a boat sta
toned with two faithful attendants hidden
beneath the high banks of the creek. The
distance from the farm, house to the boat
was two miles by the usual travelled road.
But little path across the farmers or
chards would bring him to the road only
a mile from the boat and save a quarters
length of his fearful run for life.
Just where the narrow path from the or
chard opened into the road, Ietty Marvin
sat with her dog Towser, tending the
bleaching of the household linen. The
| long web Of forty yards or more, which
was diligently spun and woven during the
long winter months, was whitened in May,
and thus made ready for use. The busi-
ness OF bleaching was well economical, be-
ing usually done by the younger daughters
of the family, who were not old enough to
| spin or strong enough for the heavier work
| of the kitchen or the dairy.
| The roll of linen was taken by the farm
or or his stout "help' to grassy plat, be-
side a stream or meadow brook. There II
was thoroughly wetted and spread upon
the green turf, to take the best heat of the
sun by day and the dew by night. The
little maiden who tended 1t would sit neai
it.
Thus sat Ietty Marvin, the young daugh-
ter of Governor GriswOlds cousin, when
her hunted friend sprang past her into the
road to escape from his pursuers. Hetty
was tmid child of about twelve years
yet thoughtful and wise beyond any of he
elders. She was frightened by tho head
long haste with which the governor rushed
across the meadow. But she quickly com
pretended the scene, and instantly quietet
her faithful Towser, who though a frienC
to the family guest, thought it becoming
TO bark loudly at his hurried steps.
Her wise forethought arrested the gov
ernor's notice, and suggested a scheme l.
delude his pursuers. "Hetty," he SAT-
earnestly, az am flying for my life; an,
unless 1 can reach my boat before an
overtaken am lost man. You see th

crowd, and the dead men being carried on
open biers to the grave, this arrow actually
stuck in the thigh of the predestinated vic
tim, of all which Lord Tarbups friend and
informant, Sir Norman Mcleod, was the
personal witness. But with regard TO this
and most OF these marvels, the question Is
continually arising, what useful end is an
swered by this faculty of provision, and Its
attendant abnormal powers2 We have the
same stumbling block here as In all our
recent exhibitions of naturalization and
the like. This is enough to rule all orders
of sensible and rational spiritual beings
out of the philosophy OF them, and this Is
one of the strongest reasons why their ex-
planstion must be looked for in some of
the yet occult forces of a mechanical science.
If Mr.. Fairfeld's "gray nervous spectre"
is TO clear up the whole wonderment satis-
factorly, 1t will be a very welcome aud
obliging spectre indeed.

How TO WAKE UP IN THE MORNING.
The duke OF Wellington always slept on
an iron camp bedstead eighteen inches
wide. "When a man wants TO turn over"
he says, at is time for him to turn out"
The Emperor Nicholas did the same.
Mr.. Owens says the principle is well
enough, but 1 think the detail is wrong.
Sleep itself is far too important to be
made uncomfortable. My old friend Ros-
sitter fixed his alarm so that, at the preor-
dained moment, the bed-clothes were
dragged from the bed, and Rossiter lay
shivering. have myself somewhere the
drawings and specifications for a patent
(Which never applied for) which arranges
a set of cams and wheel-work under the
bedstead, which, at the moment appointed,
lift the pillow end six feet, and deliver the
sleeper on his feet on the now horizontal
footboard. He is not apt TO sleep after that.
Rossiter found another contrivance that
worked better. The alarm clock struck
match which lighted the lamp which boiled
the water for Rossiter's shaving. If Rossi-
ter stayed in bed too long the water boiled
over upon his razor and clean shirt, and
prayer book his mother gave him, and
Colerldge's autograph, and his open pock-
ct book, and all the other precious things
he could put in basin underneath when
he went to bed so he had to get up before
that moment came. Old and NeiO.

FiAinr In Rurned NIoncr.

II will be remembered that few weeks
ago northern express car was burned
near Washington. The government alone
had 5,75O,OOO in it, and the private proper
ty amounted TO nearly half as much, in
cuding jewelry-enough TO fill seven
safes.
Up in one of the sunny, well-lighted
rooms of the United States Treasury De-
partment at Washington, four ladies from
the Treasurer's Office are at work ON these
charred treasures, and their process is one
of the most Interesting features of the SER
vice. All the safes were transferred from
the cars to the treasury, and committee
were selected from those most expert at
such work. First the private safes were
opened, and in these were found about
100000 worth of diamonds, a hundred
watches, old gold and silver coins, and
alas for the course of true love-a pack
age of love letters and a tress of pretty
brown hair. Picking out the valuables
was comparatively easy work, for though
many of the stones had fallen from their
settings it was not hard to find them. The
gold was bleck kened.
The money in the government safes is so
charred that at a breath 1t crumbles and
yet 1t is expected that four-fiflhs of IL will
| be deciphered. Each little shriveled piece
| is detached with thin knife and laid on
rough blotting paper. There the ladies ex-
anime 1t with magnifying glasses, and af-
ter deciphering as much as possible they
paste it, face up, on a strip of thin paper
and so, bit by bit, whole note was pieced
out. 1t is such trying exercise for the eyes
that those engaged in it can work only
three hours at a time and on bright days
The trust reposed In them is great, for the
money is delivered directly to them, anG
remittances made on their report without
further questioning. After the terrible
fire of October, 1871, Chicago sent two hun
dred safes of burnt money, aggregating
at owners valuation, Sl64,997.9s. 1t cam,
in sheets, in bundles, in tiny packages
rumpled and crushed as careless hand
had pushed them into side pockets o
purses. Each little parcel was swathed il
cotton as carefully as if it were the mos

packages were unrolled, it seemed reall.

such cinders. Yet out of that Sl64, ,997. 90

it was redeemed. Eighty-three cases, con

edge or culture, and formerly they were
absolutely inaccessible to all educative and
civiiizing influences. The first missionary
who gained access TO them was a Mrs.
Mullens, an English missionary, the
daughter and the wife OF missionary, and
herself born in India. Calcutta was her
home, and throughout her life the daugh-
ters OF Bengal were the objects of her
Thoughts and labors. The entrance which
she succeeded in gaining into the zenanas
opened the way for others TO follow, and
Miss II. G. Britain, sent out in 1861 by the
Woman's Union Missionary Society of
America, has become known throughout
Christendom by reason of her efficiency
and success In this peculiar and difficult
field Of labor. An entering wedge into the
zsnanas is afforded by an offer to teach the
inmates how to sew, and especially how to
do fancy-work and embroidery for their
husbands and children. Access once thus
obtained, it is not found difficult to en-
brace the occasion for affording other in
struction, both secular and religious. The
women are like children in their iguo-
rance, and are eager for instruction and
improvement. In connection with this
teaching in the home, which has already
done much to break down the high-caste
notions, and to give TO women larger lib
erty as well as larger knowledge, schools
have been opened for children, and an or
phanage founded ; and the method inau-
gurated by Mrs. Mullens and prosecuted
so successfully by Miss Britain, is now
adopted by most If not all the boards which
have missions IN Indla.-Hdrper's Mag
