The Boy and the Hot Chestnuts.

A small urchin just large enough to
wear pants, and probably with his first
pair on with pockets, stepped up to o
street stand and purchased five cents
worth of hot roast chestnuts. The chest
nut vender, plying his tender years, as
sisted his customer to empty the meas
ure into his little pockets. Soon the
nuts began to feel warm-they became
uncomfortable-they burn, and the Lit,
tie fellow could stand it no longer and
commenced to cry and dance up and
down with pain. The chestnut vender
tried to extract the nuts, but his hands
were too large to get into the pockets'
The cries and antics Of the sufferer IN
creased. The italian became excited,
and with commendable ingenuity seized
the boy by the heels and shook him,
head down, until the chestnuts rolled
out on the sidewalk. With tears OF Joy
the boy went in search of his mother.

Asiatic Doctors.

The first care of the Sart physician is
to study your general appearance and
ask you about your temperament. He
has learned in the "Tukhpatul Mum
iniu," the most common medical book
here, that you must belong to one OF
four classes, and his treatment of your
malady is governed accordingly. When
he has combined your symptoms with
your temperament, he will pull a bag
out of his pocket, or unite the scarf
which serves him :or girdle, and open
an assortment of drugs in twisted bits OF
paper, perhaps tasting and smelling to
find the right ones, and having chosen
the proper medicine, will give you the
usual directions about doses and diet.
The medicaments employed by central
Asiatic physicians are, in general, very
simple, being in most part vegetable
substances; but few animal matters and
minerals being used. They are usually
taken simply in the form of powders
and decoctions, and when mixed medi-
cine is used, the physician delivers the
substances to the patient and allows him
to mix them for himself. This not only
saves the physician trouble, but, in a
certain way, soothes the suspicious feel
ings of the patient, who might imagine,
in case he did not Immediately improve,
that he had been poisoned by the doc

A Dreaded Bandits Death.

The killing of the desperate bandit
Chato Alexandra was characteristic, says
the San Francisco Chronicle. He COM
manded four hundred men. He took up
a position at Huitzilac. Dol. Ugalde, Of
the Federals, attacked him, and after a
desperate fight, in which the Revclu-
tionists lost forty in killed and wound
ed, and the Federals fourteen killed and
eleven wounded. the Revoldtionists fled,
and their leader was shot through the
brain while tryingto escape from ahouse
in which he had taken shelter. Ohsto
Alexandra, whose real name was Aleian-
dro Gutierrez, had been made briga-
dier-general by Gen. Diaz. On one oc-
casion he kidnapped the wealthy Don
Santos Degollado. He asked his victim
what he would give to be released, and
Degollado replied that he would give
everything in his possession. He then
handed the bandit a gold watch, a sum
of money and other valuables. These
the wretch pocketed, and calmly taking
out his revol :r shot his victim through
the brain. His hands were red With the
hlead Of big nnuDtrymep.

From the North Pole.

The steamer Alert of the British Arc
tic expedition arrived at Valencia, being
the first land made since leaving the
frozen regionr. She parted company
with the steamer Discovery in the Allan
tic. Progress to the north pole was
found to be impracticable. Captain
Mares reports that no land could be dis
covered to the north of the highest lati-
tude reached, namely. eighty-three deg.
twenty min, but in other respects the
expedition was successful. The Alert
has gone to Queenstown, and Captain
Mares to London. All are we'll.
The Alert and Discovery left Port
FouIke on July 20, 1875, and entered
the ice off Cape Sable. After a severe
and continuous struggle they reached
the north side of Lady Franklin bay,
where the Discovery was left in winter
quarters. The Alert pushed on and
reached the limit of navigation on the
shore of the Polar sea. The ice varied
in thickness, being in some places l6o
feet deep. President Land does not
exist. The Alert wintered In latitude
eighty-two deg. twenty-seven min. The
sun was invisible 142 days, and tenn
perature the lowest ever recorded was
experienced. A detachment with sledges
was dispatched northward. 1t was ab,
sentseventy days. Another party rounded
Cape Colombia, the northernmost part
of America, and traced 220 miles west,
ward from Greenland, and also explored
far to the eastward. These sledge par.
ties met with no game, and suffered
from scurvy. Hans Peterson died from
frost bite. John Porter OF the Alert,
and James Hans and Charles Paul OF
the Discovery died on the sledgine e1-
No Esquimau1 were seen, nor were
any icebergs met with beyond Cape
Union. The expedition experienced
great difficulties In returning.

Going Softly.

s. u mskes no moan above her fade flowers,
Sle will not vainly strive against her lot,
P4tient she wears away tbs slow, sad hours,
As if the ray they had were quite forgot;
While stronger fingers snatch away the sword
And lighter footsteps pass her on tho ways,
Wedding submissive to the stern award
That said she must 80 softly all her days.
Sue knows the pulse is beating quickly yet,
She knows the dream is sweet and subtle
still,
Tbst struggling from the cloud Of past regret,
Ready for conflict live hope joy and will;
So soon, so soon to veil the eager eyes,
To dull the throbbing ear to blame or
praise,
So soon to crush rewskening sympathies,
And teach them she goes softly all her days.
She will not speak or move beneath the doom,
She knows she had her day and flung her
cast
The loser scarce the laurel may assume,
Nor evening think the MONDAY glow can
last.
Only, oh, youth and love, as in your pride
OF joyous triumph your gay notes you raise,
Throw one kind glance and word where, at your
side,
sne creeps who must go softly all her days.

An African Kings Reception.

Colonel @. O. Long, of the Egyptian
army, now visiting with his family
friends in st. Louis, gives the following
account of his reception at the court OF
King M'tesa, to which he had pene-
trated with two attendants only: MY
reception by thisstrange and mysterious
king was unique. Covering the hilltops
that characterize the mountainous dis

withdrawing Leisurely.

The Elko (Nev.) Independent tells
the following: While travelling through
Arizona in 1849 with an exploring party,
we made our camp one evening near 8
canyon, the bottom of which was cover
ed with fine sand that had dritted from
the neighboring plains. While employ
ed in arranging our camp, the botanist
of the expedition, DR.. B., wandered
some distance in pursuit of plants. He
returned shortly and reported that there
we're Indians near at hand. He was as
cool as O cucumber, ard didn't show any
sign of anxiety or alarm. In answer to
our hasty inquiries, he replied that
while he was engaged in examining a
fossil specimen he heard grunt behind
him, and on looking around discovered
an Indian who had seized his gun,
which had been placed against a rock.
The Indian drew bead on him, and In
retaliation he drew his revolver and
sighted the Indian, retreating at the
same time toward the canyon, which was
close at hand. Neither fred. On reach
ing the CANYON he walked leisurely into
camp. A party Immediately set out to
deter mine the possibility of danger, and
discovered two Indians and squaw.
After capturing them they examined the
vicinity in which the doctor had met
with his remarkable adventure. They
found his footprints, which signifed a
cautious retreat to the canyon. But
alas for the frailty of human nature;
his footprints in the canyon were eight
feet apart, by measurement, and not
exactly Indicative of the leisurely man
ner in which he had approached the
camp. The doctor acknowledged the
corn, and remarked that that was about
as leisurely as he ever wished to walk
under similar circumst ances.

A. Romance Of Real Life.

near the junction OF what is now Nortf
First street and Hennepine avenue
Not successful in business at that time
the young husband, whose real name
was John Felix, though he bore the
most tender affection for his young wife
as the sequel shows, started for the fal

wealth and independence. Here be re-

war. when he enlisted. While in the
army he met comrade who told him ot
the sad misgivings of his former wife
and of her marriage (who, for some
reason, had never heard from him.
though he had written several letters) tc
a second husband. Felix then informed
his comrade that he should never return
to bis home until he had acquired theln
dependent fortune he had first unsuc-
cessfully striven to obtain. Upon the
close of the war he once more turned hlt
sorrowful footsteps toward the West

tory, his flock grew in number, and for

could desire, and he was, most naturally,
as time passed, overcome with the de-
sire to visit once more the spot where
his happiest moments had been spent
About six months since he wrote to hif

side near Minneapolis, and received the
letter. The boy, who was an infant al
the time of his fathers departure, and
never knew him, could not understand

who instantly recognized the writing.
and, with a woman's nature, her hrst
love so dwelt in her heart that she told
her second husband, without mo-
ments warning, that she could live
with him no longer. John Felix, after
an absence of over eighteen years, re.
turned to st. Paul, and having learned
that she who was once his wife was
keeping a boarding house on First
street, Immediately went thither. He
called and recognized her. He appealed
to her charity by telling her that he had
