who happened to be passing in a barrel, seized
her around the body and she was severely
squeezed before the animal could be induced to
release her. On an action for damages coun-
sci for the bear excused his conduct on the
ground that he probably mistook the lady for
seal; but the jury gave the plaintiff $500.
Hereafter no lady wearing seal-skin jacket
can safely trust herself near barrel unless
she knows what is in it.
Princess Beatrice is sensible girl. The
youngest daughter of the Queen is still unfet

She takes exceedingly practical views of the
future, and notices with unaffected seorn the
puerile excuses of starveling Princes for max

their Incidence and their vices. She is moved
by feelings of pity and contempt when she OBJ
serves the desperate pinching OF the Marquis of
Lorne and Princess Louise to make ends meet,
and yet preserve high status in society; and
rather than become victim to any similar ar

woman from Mrs. Billy Florence, He says:
"Of medium height, with a pleasant, open

Their looked nor spoke in the typical American
way which fiction and the footlights have
made conventional. Tastefully attred in dark
silk, trimmed with black velvet, and wearing
bodice of white lace, little catarscts of which
fell over her arms from the sleeves of her dress,
she looked as thoroughly English as any of her
fair listeners, many of whom, before she ap-
peared ON the platform, had been audibly won
dering what she would be like, having appar-
entity an idea they were going to see anything
but thoroughly womanly woman. Scene af-

the audience with vivid reality. Miss Field
shows that she possesses capital mimetic pow
ers. Not only does the great prose minstrel,

A Pennsylvania has taught canary bird to
sing "Home, Sweet Home" in this way: He
placed the canary in a room where it could not
hear the singing of other birds, suspended its
cage from the ceiling so that it would see its
reflection in mirror, and below the glass plac-
ed a musical box that was regulated so as to
play no other tune bnt "Home, Sweet Home.
Hearing no other sound but this, and believing
the music proceeded from the bird it saw in the
mirror, the young canary soon began to catch
the notes, and finally got so that it sings the
song perfectly.

Well, here is an obituary as is an obituary
in the Indianapolis Herald: "He was man

his untimely end, however, we must not forget
that he was one of that dangerous class Of
genial swindlers whose loose ideas of right and
wrong have done so much towards making US
nation of thieves. An unmitigated rogue
wholly bad in everything, is much less danger
GUS than a man who coolly perpetrates the
most monstrous frauds, and yet, is not lacking
ia those virtues which make his felow-mer

The Fighting Around San Sebastian.

LONDON, Jan. 28-The Times correspondent
writing from San Sebastian summarizes the
results of the fighting on Tuesday as follows:
On the right and centre beyond Hermann the
Alfonsists were successful On the left if they
really seriously intended to penet rate to Vera
they were completely baffled. Gen. Moriones
returned to San Sebastian escorted by two bat
talions of troops and camped on the captured
positions.
The writer gives the following description of
the fighting on the Vera road: Up to o'clock
in the afternoon the Alfonsists seemed success.
of the great three crowned mountain where a
ties exchanged fire for an hour. At 4 o'clock
the Alfonsists attempted to advance W it'll the
bayonet, but they recoiled before the heavy
fire from the trenches There could see the
Car.ists Ieaving their positions and charging
down the hill after their retreating foes. An
intervening slope hid the combants from sight,
but from the nearer approach of the sound of
musketry and incessant fire of artillery from
the Alfonsist fort judged the Carlists were
following up their success.
The writer concludes: It Is generally believ-
ed that simultaneous movement is being made
in the province of Navarro and Biscay If so
very few days will prove whether the Carlsts
are ended or the campaign is to drag through
the coming summer.

CATARRH !!

A case of many years standing,
and so horrible that it caused TO-

one box of R&der's German Snuff,
which costs but 35 cents.
MoNTvILLE, Mass, March 49, 1875.
Gentlemen: must express my gratitude for the
wonderful cure as performed by your Reder's Ger
man Snuff. 1 had been afflicted with Catarrh for
many years, and it caused my hearing to become so
poor that was totally deaf tried many remedies,
but without any benefit but at last purchased
box of German Snuff, and its not only entirely
cured my Catarrh, but what was yet more wonderful,
my hearing was fully restored, and after having been
deaf for years. 1 can now hear as well as any one.
This Snuff should be spread broadcast over the land
for it will prove blessing to all who use it.
Yours very truly,
MRS. MILO STRATTON.
Suffering reader, don't get discouraged If you have
spent hundreds of dollars worthless trash withou
any real benefit, but remember that in this simple
