II is not to sweep the house, darn

him to witness the use. Sucl,

wants with a wife, is her compaui-

political excitement ran high.
While IN market onc morning Mr..
BollIncyer became involved In al

a rabid Republican. Brown drew
a pistol and shot Dollmeyer dead.

Last week ragged man, having

der his arm, entered the shop Of a
pork.butcher, aud called for d sau-
sage. When he came to pay for II
however he discovered that he lad
no money with him, and leaving
his fiddle rs y pledge, hurried
away to obtain some. Hardly had
he left the shop when a well to do
stranger entered the shop to make
some inquiries as to bis way. lie
preceiycs the fiddle on the counter
looms at IL, and takes II up and
cries cxcitcdly:

III cami sell 1t, replied the pork
butcher; "it does not belong to

"Fll give you 1000 francs.''
Same reply. The stranger slow
" and reluctantly lays down the
precious instrument, gives the
pork butcher his card, and saying
that he will be found at the Grand
Hotel and give 1000 francs for the
fiddle IL 1t is brought there, re-
tires.
The proprietor of the Snadiva-
rius returns, and pays for his saus-
age, and Is about to depart when
the butcher offers to buy the fld-
die, offers him fifty francs-one

This last tempting offer proves too

The Sea Otter.

The sea otter is found in greatest abundance at the Saanach island. The food is mostly clans, muscles and sea urchins, which they manage to secure by striking two shells together, held ln the fore paws. When broken they suck out the contents. Grabs, fish, and the tender fronds of sea weeds also form their food. Unlike the seal they are not pulygamous. Hunters say they are very playful, and that they have seen them on their backs in the water and tossing a piece of seaweed up in the air from paw to paw, and apparently enjoying the sport of catching it again before It fell into the water. The mothers sleep m the water on their backs, with their young clasped between their fore paws. If surprised, she clasps the pup in her arms and turns her back on the danger. They are extremely wary, and hunters when they go to Saanach island avoid making a fire or scattering refuse food. Ther sufferings, encamped for weeks on 6 barren island with no fire. and the thef- mometer below, zero, are very great. The sea otters will take alarm from Q fire kind1ed four or five miles to wlnd- ward of them, and Prof. Elliott says that the "footstep of man must be washed by many tides before its trace ceases to alarm the animal and drive it from land ing there should it approach for that purpose" One method of capturing them is by "spearing surrounds" This consists in surrounding Q sea otter with a party of men in fifteen or twenty ca noes. One canoe darts towards the an imal, which usually dives. The canoe stops over the point: where he sunk, while the others range themselves m circle half mile wide around him. Within fifteen minutes or half an hour he reappears, and the nearest canoe moves rapidly toward him, which com pels him to dive again before he can re- cover himself. This process being re- peated, often for two or three hours, the sea otter at last suffers so much from m, terrupted respiration that he IS hlled with gases and cannot sink.

Disease from Soap,

. Soap is so universally used at the pres ent day that it seems almost impossible to do without it. It may appear sur prising to lea1n that soap is not an un- mixed good, and that some of the worst diseases have originated in, or at least been carried about by, the too frequent use of some kinds of the article. Man ufacturers care but little what lngre- dients they employ so long as the article they bring forth has the proper amount of perfume or the requisite capablllty of producing suds with little rubbing. In this manner vast amount of diseased animal matter, taken from beasts which have died of putrescent maladies, IS em- ployed.
 Soap fat is we'll known in the manu- facture of the soap, and owing to its condition and the imperfect way in which it is refined, it sometimes con tains most deadly poisons, which, by friction upon the skin, are introduced into the pores, gradually soak into the blood and develop into some local affeo- tion for which no cause can be assigned. Typhoid fever has been often produced in this manner, it is ascertained posi- lively, but the most common form m which this soap poison has made itself felt is in the production of diphtheria. It has hitherto been an inexplicable fact that while doctors have been urging great cleanliness to avoid this disease, 1t is precisely where this has been most shown that the disease has made most ravaees. Boards of health have been constant in their efforts to prevent diph- theria by urging cleanliness, with a re- suit that is already known by the con- stant increase of death.
 It has also been feund that large proportion of the soaps now used are made from putrid and filthy grease ob- tained from tenement houses, jails, hos pitfalls and public institutions, and which no possible process can remove Of their impurities and render fit for human use. The medical faculty of Paris and London have already sounded the keynote oi warning in this matter. Alarmed at the increase of disease transmitted from i'm pure soaps, they have impressed on the people the necessity of only using soaps of tested purity. The annual mortality
 of children, which is now so great, ls
 also attributed in large part to this in
 discriminate use of soap. The sensitive
 and tender skins of the little ones more
 readily absorb the poison and disease transmitted by the soaps referred to
 Wise legislation is needed on this mat

A Living Chain.

The Sonoma Democrat is responsible fer the following story: A special dance was in progress s.t Rrunsen's ranch, Green Springs, in the lower cad of the county, and after the dancing had got well under way two young men, named Totn Adams and Joe Russian, stepped out, intending to visit neighboring house for the purpose of procuring cigars for social smoke together. The night was unusually dark-absolutel nothing being discernible foot distant Consequently tho two men proceeded slowly, trusting to their knowledge of the locality to carry them to the direo- tion they wished to take.
 Suddenly, and without the least warn ing whatever, their feet slipped from under taen, and the next instant they felt themselves plunged downward, neck deep in slum and water. They had fall en into an old shaft, dropping at least forty feet from the edge. Fortunately both fell on their feet, and the mud in the bottom prevented their being bruised ih the fall. A new danger, however, i'm mediately presented itself, namely: in the ouicksand. Both made desperate efforts to keep their heads above the water, but in doing 50 nearly suffocated from immersion.
 Adams at last caught hold of @ projec- tion on the side of the shaft, and al though possessing but ono arm, sue oeeded in holding on until Russian climbed over him and reached the mouth of the shaft. Russian then called for help, and the party at Bruncen's was soon on the spot. No ropes were pro- curable, and something had to be done immediately to save Adams from death in the bottom of the pit.
 Men think very rapidly in cases of i'm mediate da1ger, and one of the crowd around the top of the shaft proposed that the most muscular foriil them into chain, and drop into the shaft. This was acted upon at once. The heaviest man was held by one urm by several men at the mouth of the shaft, and a second man sliding into the shaft, cling ing to his waist. A third man did like wise, grasping the second mans waist, and each successive hak in the human chain did likewise until the bottom was reached, and Adams dragged from his awful predicament. Through the mu- tual assistance of Adams himself and his | friends he managed to leach the top completely exhausted, as were his brave rescuers.
 It was indeed narrow escape for both young men from horrible death, and a ere litab'e action on the part of those who undertook in this novei and danger ous manner to rescue Adams.

An Honest Convict.

AtDes Moines, Iowa, g few months ago, in moment of passion, young man of upright character, named Morris Spangler, killed mate with whom he had hitherto been on friendly terms. It was believed there were extenuating circumstances which would prevent a verdict against him, but he was con for two years. He asked leave of the sheriff to visit his parents, who lived a few miles from the city, promising to return so as to go with the other prison CTS on the day when they were to be removed. The sheriff accepted his promise. He went home, and bade all his friends and schoolmates farewell, leaving with them various keepsakes, gathered together his school books. and returned promptly, and was conveyed to prison. He took his books, saying he should make man of himself while he was there.
