THE PODDLES FAMILY.

Poddles, Junior, had unfortunately an
ear for music two much so, in fact. In
this he bears no resemblance to Poddles,
pere, whose musical notions are so wage
that he can with difficulty distinguish his
iavorite air. "Old Dog Tray" from "The
Irish w asherwoman.'
Whenever Poddles, Jr., is relieved from
the laborious occupation Of devouring
bread and molasscs, he is either whistling
or singing. His repertoire of airs is ex-

the street musicians and concert halls.

Ian ARSENIC-E EATING GIRL.

Says The Troy(N. w. Times: A thir.
teen'year.old daugh liter of MIR. Fiagg, re.
siding near Whitehall, is exciting the at
tention of physicians and scientific men in
that vicinity. Some time ago Mr.. Flagg put
some arsenic on some bread and placed
it in portion of the house frequented by
rats. The bread suddenly disappeared,
and again and again other pieces were
placedlln the same locality, with theIsame
result. He finally determined to watch
and ascertain, if possible, what became of
it. He had not long to wait before he was
horror.stricken to observe his little daugh.
ter walk away from the place examining
her mouth with the poisoned bread. A
physician was sent for. and before his ar
rival the sobbing child made known to
her parents that she had eaten all the
bread that was prepared for the rats,
and that sheliked it better than anything
she had ever tasted. The physician was
surprised, and thinking possibly that the
drug might not be arsenic, he examined
and found it arsenic beyond doubt. To
still further test it he tried small guam.
tity of it on cat, which quickly sent the
animal into commissions, causing its death
soon afterward. What seems ,remarka.
BILE, too, is the fact that ever since the
child first tasted arsenic it has begged
for the deadly poison, time and time
again. About year ago the girl fell
sick with fits. Nothing would bring her
out of the commissions. In her quiet mo.
ments she would beg necessarily for ar.
sonic. The physician in attendance, be-
lieving that the girl could not possibl y re.

child devoured it with avidity, and in
less than three days she was as we'll as

Il PARISH INCIDENT.

In rural Presbyterian congregation in
the western section of Canada, the people,
for various reasons, were desireus of
change in the passionate. A meeting was
called to consider how the desired
change could be effected. All were agreed
that thong h the pastor was learned,
laborious, amiable, and excellent man, he
was exceeding prosy and uninteresting as
a preacher. 1t was resolved therefore
that deputation should be sent respect.
fully to ask him to demit his charge. No
one was ready to undertake the difficult
and delicate task. At last two elders
we're induced to 60 and talk to the minis.
ter about the matter. They went on their
mission with no little trepidation, but
were greatly relieved by the cordial man
ner in which the good minister received
them. He listened quietly to their hest.
tatingly told story. and at once acquiesc-
ed in their desire that he would resign.
Elated with their success, they fastened
to report the result to the people. All
were grately gratified at the prospect of
such an amicable arrangement; and feel.
ing some sense Of gratitude to the minister
tally for his ready compliance with their
wishes, they determined to present him
withsan address and a purse. A public
meeting of the congregation was held, at
which the pastor was invited to be pres
ent, an address was read to him contain.
ing strong expires ion Of appreciation and
gratitude for his manifold labors and of
strong personal affection for himself, and
the purse was handed to him as token
of their continued esteem.
On rising to reply, the pastor was deep
~ moved, and spoke with faltering
voice. He stated that, influenced by the
statements of the elders who had called
on him, he had resolved, at much expense
of feeling to himself, to resign his charge.
Pausing for minute, as if overcome with
emotion-not few Of the tender.hearted
bctraying their sympathy with him-he
went on to say that in view Of the affect
ionate and touching address he had just
received, so very numerously signed,
and accompanied by so generous gift, he
felt constrained to abandon his purpose,
and would therefore remain with them,
and devote his future life to the best in.

attached to him, and who so highly val
ued his humble services.
The reply was 50 obviously dictated by
generous simplicity that no one at the
time had the courage to rise and explain.
That minister is still pastor of the SINE
parish. The incident transpired some
ten or twelve years ago, and contains
good moral.

A CHINESE MATHEMATiCIAN

Chingfoo, the, highly educated Chinaman,
rather got away with young profess
or at Greencastle the other evening.
During the course of the evening, Mr..
Wong stated that among the Chinese
mathematicians were hired at four dol
lars per week, and were not as goood as
the most ordinary men here. They do
this work by machinery, as it were, and
it is the dirty Ia Dor of the empire.
When MIR. Wong first came to this coun-
try, to enter college, he was told that it
would oe necessary to study mathematics
two years.; he at once told them he knew
mathematics better than those who were
to teach him IL this particular branch.
Illustrative Of this, Wong, in his address
at Browns, Hall, offered to foot up several
columns of figures. For convenience, his
manager, Mr.. Watkins, was to name the
figures but the young professor of math-
ematlcs of Ausbury,, who was present,
thought, he saw Jaw there, and at once
came to his feeI1.* He asked:
"Wllyout sir, allow me to give you the
figures = .;r...<..

and he named sum upon sum, not going

"That' $ all, - replied the professor, "get

MIR. Wong stood smiling, and when the
professor" had Strengthened himself IN
and said, CHOW begin,'' he quietly re-
marked,

This before the astonished professor had
time toiget half way up the first COL
"But you re- not through already" re.
marked the professor.

was the response; and ne read them. the

T.: He did SO and the astonished profess.
or was forced to admit that it was right.
The professor was sastounded, and was
forced to admit that Mr.. Wong did know
something about mathematics.
The mandarin stated that he was not
an extraordinary mathematician, as com.
pared to some Of the educated Chinese.
The professor afterward called on Mr..
Wong at the hotel.

,DANSEUsE AND PRINCE.

The young duke 81 Reichstadt, Napo-
leon H., delicate in health from his
birth, had never sesmefscapable Of feel
ing the. least interest in life. Nothing
could rouse him from profound indiffer-
ence and melancholy that penetrated his
whole being. He distrusted rybody;
was unwilling to go into society. 1t was
thought that if his affections could be en-
listed his mind would assert itself. A
number of tho fsirest young women
about the court was presented to him,
but their charms, their Establishments,
their conversation, their passion, real or
feigne3, moved him not a jot. He turned
from them in WEAKNESS, and begged to
be excused. Some sagacious functionary
suggested that the ballet queen should be
introduced to the forlorn youth in the
guise Of peasant, in the hope that she,
so accustomed to conqucsts, might con-
quer even him. The plan succeeded to q
charm, and Louis fell in love With the
seeming peasant girl. She pretended to
reciprocate his love, never intimating that
she was not ignorant of his birth and 20.
sition. nr,t:~
Day after day, they met in the gardens
of the palace; then they extended their
excursions on foot and in carriage, until
a new spirit and new life became his.
He made her his contidant; he told her
his bitter past, the dependency; of the
hope and joy she had been the first to
awaken in his nature; that she was the
one human being in all the world he
loved or cared for. In the midst of this
idylic life, the duke being one day in the
city, felt inclined to visit the theatre.
That evening he sat listless in the box,
hardly needing the performance, scarcely
noticing the ballet. until all the figure of
brightness and beauty bounded upon the
scene. He was all eyes and animation at
once. He had never imagined so marvel
GUS likeness to Marie. Could he be
mistaken? Heleveled his lorgnette again
and again. The vision of the lover could
not be deceived. The truth and the
whole truth soon flashed upon him. His
Marie and everybody's Fanny were one
and the same. The glass fell from his
hand the poor boy turned deadly pale.
and might have swooned in his seat had
he not been taken from the theatre and
driven home almost insensible. The next
morning the story was all over Vienna.
Louis never saw Marie more. The little
hope and faith he had she had aroused;
after that cruel trick he fell once more
into himself never to hope again. He
did not live very long. The very night
he died she was dancing in a crowded ani
applauding theatre. She had forgotten
all about him, but she still remembered
the 10000 forms that had been paid her
for deceiving him. 5z'

ed to be guilty Of the girls assassination.
The bloody knife he identified as his, and
his affirmation that it had been forcibly
wrenched from him by the murders who
robbed him was not at all credited.
But what motive could he have for
such crime! He was young man of
good sense and excellent character, &C.
cording to public repute. 1t was i'm.
possible that he could have had any emo
tions of jealousy connected with this
woman Of the town. He could not have
intended to rob her, for in her purse,
loose pieces Of gold and silver and some
jewelry, were found lying about the room
when thej police took possession. Be.
sides he was q brave soldier, one Of the
bravest of the intrepid 23d Demi- brigade,
and had won by gallantry and good
conduct his rank in the 3lst Regiment of
the Line, although he was but twenty
seven years old. Surely he could not
have stopped to be the assassin and rob.
Der of woman.
The little memorandum book seemed to
suggest motive for the hideous crime.
He was madly infatuated with gambling.
In five months he had lost 5,439 francs.
Altogether between the proceeding June
and the date of the murder, he had lost
$500 francs, which were 5000 more than
his pay amounted to. So great had been
his infatuation, and so bad had been his
luck, that few days before this tragic
event he had been compelled to pawn his
watch.
In addition to his pay, the book showed
only that he had received two bills of ex-
change, for one 1000 francs each, and in
the unhappy light in which he now stood
it was promptly surmised by the author.

money by crime-perhaps by such horrid
means as the murder of the Holland girl.

to have saved up considerable sum Of
