Last season the traffic in girafes was
unusually large. Two dealers in this
city went into it very extensively, one
Charles Reiche of 55 Chatham street
bringing in twelve, and another, Louis
Ruhe, Of SO Chatham street, eight more.
Mr.. Ruhe sent his to Central Park, and
there they were stabbed and properly
fed. He sold from the herd, from time
to time, until only five were left and
they, as they gained in stature, for they
were all growing calves, weakened and
died one by one. Post-mortem examine
tions showed a softness in the bones. at
the Joints, similar to the human disorder
of ricketts,. which was attributed TO i'm
proper nourishment of the animals just
after their capture. Mr.. Reichc disposed
of all but two of his animals before they
died. These two were put into Barnum's
menagerie and had grown to be ex.
| tremely fine specimens oftheir kind but
last week they both were seemingly
stricken with q cold, and, after few
days lingering, they died. .
! On the first appearance Of the disorder
the surgeon in charge toek active
measures for its relief. A mustard plas
ter seven. feet long was applied to TIT
throat of one of the animals and one 81
inches long 70 the throat OF the other
Later the animals were led alongside o
the Madison avenue wall of the Hippo
drome, ladder was raised, and an az
propriate boIus was placed In the mout
of each, but long before IL had reaches
it's destination the giraffes had returne
to their stalls and stretched thennselve
dead. For one Of them Mr.. Reiche ha
been offered $4,000.--Ne,o York Sun.

Dead In His Sleigh.

An Adams County, Pa, paper narrates
the following: Mr.. John Watson, Of
Hsmiltonban township, this county, met
sudden and singular death on Saturday
night last. He came to Gettysburg on
that day, driving two mules to a sleigh.
In the afternoon he drove to Cashtown,
and remained there until about eight
o'clock in the evening, when he started
down the tract for home. About the
middle of the following day, Mr.. John
Diehl, while going out the road toward
Scott's school house, saw dead man ly-
ing in the run some 800 yards from his
buildings. He at once reported the fact
to his father, who having known John
Watson, had no difficulty in recognizing
the body. As soon az arrangements could
be made il was conveyed to the family
residence, beyond Fairfield.
Death is supposed to have resulted from
n singular accident. The run kept open
during the cold weather, and banks o
ica formed on each side. The sleigh II
passing over the chasm must have givcr
sudden plunge, and striking tn
opposite side with such violence AZ y
dislocate HIS neck. There was no evidenc
Of struggle on his part, and the bod
lay on his back, in few inches OF water
with his hat on the bank. The mule
made their way during the night 70 MI
! Pitzer's on the Herring farm, but tn
team was not known, and its presenc
led TO no apprehension. 80 t'f

A little elbow leans upon your knee,
Your tired knee, that has so much to bear,
A child's dear eyes are looking lovingly
From underneath n thatch Of tangled hair.
Perhaps you do not heed the velvet touch
OF warm. moist fingers, folding yours SO tight,
You do not prize this blessing ovcrmuch,
You are ALMOST too tired to pray tonight.
But Il Is blessednessi A year ago
did not see a as do to-day.
We are 80 dull and thankless: and too slow
To catch the sunshine till II slips away;
And now II seems 80 passing strange to me,
That while wore the badge Of motherhood,
did not kiss more oft and tenderly
The child that brought me only good
And II some night when you sit down to rest,
You miss the elbow from your tired knee;
This restless, curling head from OF your breast,
This lisping tongue that chatters constantly;
IL from your own the dinped hands have slipped
And ne'er would nestle I'm your palm again;
IL the white feet into their grave had tripped,
could not blame you for your heart-ache then.

At little children cliagng to their gown,
Or that the foot prints, when the days are wet,
Are ever black enough to make thsm frown.
III could find q little muddy boot,
Or cap, or jacket, on my chamber floor;
] II could kiss a rosy, restless foot,
And hear Its patter In my home once more;
II could mend a broken cart to-day,
Tomorrow make kite TO reach the sky,
There Is no woman In Gods world could say
She was more blissfully content than l.
But, ah the dainty pillow next my own
Is never rumpled by q shining head;
Ny singing birding from It's nest Is flown,
The little boy / used to kiss Is dead.
