BRfWERT or 4 PRIEST.

That was a brave act of the Catholic
priest Gather Adams, of BROOKLYN who,
seeing a young woman attempt to COM
init suicide by drowning, jumped from a
ferry boat and rescued her. When the
boat had got into the middle of the river
the woman darted through the crowd
that stood on the rear deck and leaped
over the chains into the water. In an
instant all was confusion on the deck,
women shrieked and men were bewil-
dered. Then it was that Father Adams
pushed through the thrOng and sprang
into the river. The tide was swift and
the drowning woman had drifted far
away from the boat. The man, with
strong, skillful strokes, pushed straight
out into the current, and caught her
just a. she was sinking for the last time.
Both were exhausted, there was no hope
ofsuccor from the ferry boat, and they
battled IN vain with the tide. Just as It
seemed a. II both must be drowned they
we're pulled on board fainting. They
were psuscitated with difficulty, and
then were carried to the shore. at was
an act Of charity" said Father Adams,
" 70 save the woman. Nay, more than
that, Il was an act Of duty to save her,
for our church teaches that one who dies

this respect he threw the more brilliant

Kossuth seems a shining visionary.

A Mysterious Pauper.

The Warrington Union at present
shelters an interesting being, known in
the district as the Mysterious Pauper.
Mr.. Moses Woods ON. p, for he has
quite right to the initials) has been for
four years mystery to his medical at
tendants and to the guardians. The ex-
traordinary thing about him is that he
clings fondly I'd stimulants and other
luxuries not generally supplied to PAU
| pers who are not mysterious. "When
these are taken from him., we read,
g his violence is almost ungovernable, y
and it is feared that he will do his neigh
bors mischief. He has therefore to be
removed to q separate room, where,
with his wine and other stimulants, he
must be pretty comfortable. It has oc-
CURED to him lately to feign insanity,
and he begs in most ptteous tones for
the loan of pistol or sword where

| Though it seems pity to annsy mys-
terious pauper by paltry restrictions, we
are told that his request to be accom-
nodated with sword has not yet been
complied with by the guardians. Though

to tear up his clothes and to break the
vessels in which his food is brought to
him. He often refuses to get up III the
morning, and, with views on the subject
quite opposed to those of the hardy
Norseman, declares that, as matter of
choice, s'he will die in bed" Some Of
the authorities have a. theory that Mr..
Woods is 'swanted by the police of his
native land, which accounts, they say,
for his disinclination to leave the house.
Other people will explain his delay by
the fact that he knows when he is well
off. Since the days of the Man in the
Iron Mask whose conduct in some
respects was like that of Mr.. Woods, we
have not heard of a prisoner, not to say
pauper, so mysterious, and so myster-
iously treated by his guardians. Lon

A Fatal CeOn- Hunt.

We learn that several negroes started
out to hunt coons near Harrodsburg, in
Mercer county, KY, one night last week.
A quarrel arose between two of the ne
groes in the woods, when one was shot
and killed. His friends remained and
took charge Of the body, while the rest
of the crowd proceeded with the hunt.
A little later one of the negroes climbed
a tree to shake down a coon. The negro
fell and was Instantly killed. The coon
fell among the dogs and terrible fight
ensued. In attempting to separate coon
and dogs another negro had his leg lit
orally torn to pieces by dog. He then
killed the dog. The coon next sue
cumbed to fate, and his death ends the
list of casualties during that coon hunt.
The murderer has been apprehended.

of visitors thought that the bare boards,
with their daily coat of yellow sand, had
been characteristic of the house from the
hour of its birth. There are few now
living to remember the first and most
famous of Limmer's walters, whose name
is perpetuated on both sides of the At
lantic by still favorite drink, in which
gin, soda water, ice, lemon and sugar
are the constituent elements. My name
is John Collins, sang the gay youth of
bygone age, head waiter at Limmer's,
corner of Conduit street, Hanover
square; my chief occupation is filing of
brmmers for all the young gentlemen
fir quenters there. TWAS to his vigilant
and characteristic prudence that some
of his young clients owed the possession
OF a loophole of retreas, which enabled
them to escape without passing through
the easily watched portal. 1t was not
unknown to poor Jack Mytton, with
whom many of the most racy stories sug-
gested by the historic iaaelSte of the
world famous tavern will long be asso-
ciated. There stands the table upon
which he mounted, seemingly three
sheets in the wind, in order to ley
against the winner of the Two Thousand,
Sir Tatton Sykes, for the Derby. When
his credit was exhausted and the hackers
accepted his offers to rs large an extent
as they thought it possible he could pay,
he ran upstairs to his bed room and re-
turned with several Thousand pound
notes in his hand, which he proceeded
to lay on what he called ready-money
principles. ct was not quite so drunk
as they thought, y was his explanation to
q friend who questioned him about his
proceedings on the eve of the race. The
ponderous frame of Capt. Sutherland OF
the Twelfth Lansers, is recalled by the
armchair which was specially built for
him, and in which he boosted that he
was 81 years old and weighed twenty
seven stone. The tavern which, as
guest-house, has probably run its earth
" course, and of which, before many
moons have rolled away, there will be
nothing but memories left, occupies a
space in the West End life of London,
which no other building in the metrop-
oils can SO adequately fill. Its three
Prince Of Wales feathers, with their con-
comitant 'Ich Diem, link us with the
voluptuous days of the Prince Regent.

fathers what the Turf Club, the Road
Club, Pratt's, the Victoria, and the Al

CANNES Meek in Snil It.

An Omaha lively-stable keeper owned
fine lot of coach dogs. These dogs are
white, with black spots all over them,
and are noted for their docile, not TO say
cowardly, dispositions. The dogs be-
longing to the livery stable keeper were
beset on all occasions by the other dogs
in the streets, and, as they were meek In
spirit, were as easily overcome as lot of

as..long as he could, when, one day, he
found large, white bulldog, and it i'm
mediately occurred to him what to do.
He bought that dog, took him to his
stable, and there kept him until he got
thoroughly acquainted with the coach
dogs. The bulldog was then sent to
the BARRIERS shop, and black spots were
neatly painted or dyed all over him, SO
that he looked like veritable coach
dog, with a somewhat short nose and
elongated lower jaw. The next time the
carnage was sent out this model coach
dog went along, and the. street dogs

TOnsoriaI Art aud Artists.

1t is amusing to find one of those ira
ditional jokes which everybody reveres
becoming reality. There, for instance,
is the story of the rivalry between two
BARRIERS in an English town who kept
reducing their prices until one of them
offered to shave his customers for moth
ing. The other, not to be outdone, put
up sign in these words, "What do you
think2 I'll shave you for nothing and
give you a drink Some of the BARRIERS
of New York have determined to make
their prices for shaving cents. Others,
afraid of the loss of custom, have not
only reduced their prices to cents, but
for this insignificant sum offer "a good
shave and good cigar, a good shave
and glass Of beer" and one atrocious
barber even announces "a good shave
and schooner of beer" AS general
thing we are in favor of reduction in
prices But the BARRIERS method is very
like cruelty to animals. The man who
smokes cigars or drinks beer thereby
obtains a decided advantage over the
man who does neither but it must be
confessed he runs a greater risk. In a
barber shop where you are shaved and
receive a cigar it would be bad enough
to be compelled TO inhale the poisonous
atmosphere, to say nothing of the stran-
gulation and expectOration that would
follow smoking one of the weeds. Then
we are afraid that the beer also, espe-
cially in the schooner establishment,
would be as dangerous almost as cup
of poison. Apart from all these risks,
it is well known from the traditional an
ecdote that BARRIERS always punctuate In
their heads, and that the famous sign
should have read: g What Do you
think I'll shave you for nothing and give
you drink 2" We trust that nobody
else will do anything so utterly absurd.
Even the barber is worthy of hie hire,
and 10 cents is little enough for shave
nowadays, especially when we consider
a tonsorial artists manifold duties to his
customer. 1t is expected of him that
he will talk his subject SO nearly to death
that he lives as if by miracle that his
up-strokes shall threaten his customers
nose and his down strokes his ear with
out touching them that he shall care.
fully scan the beard SO as always to go
s'against the grain, and that by all the
means in his power he shall minister to
the discomfort of the poor wretch in his
hands. Ten cents is little enough for
such desperate operation, and it is idle
to talk of a cigar or a schooner of beer
In such case.--NeaO York Herald.

means Of soap and water and broken

urbs, and get a sight, if only for five
minutes, of his mother.
On the following Monday, Bert, having
leisure hour, went to call on his new
acquaintance in Devonshire street.
Having climbed the two flights, he
found the door of the back room at the
right aiar, and, looking In, saw Mr..
Croker at desk, IN the act of receiving
roll of money from weIl-dressed
visitor.
Bert entered unnohced, and waited
till the money was counted and receipt
signed. Then, as the visitor departed,
old Mr.. Croker looked round and saw
Bert. He offered him chair; then
turned to lock up the money in safe.

From the way the old mans voice

children, perhaps.

What could Bert say
Again that afternoon he walked--or
rather ran-to his mother and, after
consulting with her, ioyfully accepted
Mr.. Orooker's offer.
Interviews between his mother and
his employer soon followed, resulting In
something for which at first the boy had
not dared to hope. The lonely, child
less old man, who owned so many
houses, wanted q home and one of
these houses he offered to Mrs. Hamp-
ton, with ample support Tor herself and
children, if she would also make it q
home for him.
OF course this proposition was ac-
cepted and Bert soon had the satisfac-
ton of seeing the great ambition of his
life accomplished. He had employ
ment, which promised to become a
profitable business Gas indeed it did in a
few years, he and the old man proved SO
useful TO each other) and, more than
that, he was united once more with his
mother and sisters in a happy home,
