shocking Occurrence.

A letter from Raleigh, N. c., says !:
A monstrous thing happened here this
morning, in which bulldog fought
people who tried to rescue an idiotic
woman from a fire which YVES consuming
the house in which she had been placed
for safe keeping. Mary Ann Dolan was
the daughter of Pat Dolan, proprietor
of the College hotel. She was an idiot,
and was kept in a sort of coop in an out
house used as kitchen. She was twen-
ty-fve years of age. The cook had
gone out, leaving the door fastened and
the idiot in her coop. In some way or
other fire broke out, but the woman
might have been saved had not big
and ferocious bulldog stationed himself
at the door and fought the firemen like a
fiend, as if really possessed by the devil.
It was in vain that the men attempted to
enter the place; it was impossible to do
so. The dog would not bulge except
to snap and fly at the firemen. The
idiot woman seemed exalted or frenzied
by the fire, and danced and sang "The
prettiest little girl in the country" at the
top of her voice, and as gayly as posi-
BILE. After the flames were extinS uished
it was found that both her legs were
burned of, and nothing remained of
her head save the brains.

Albert EdMard,s Tour in India.

can Indian" who writes to the Lon
don Times noting the triumphal visit of
the Prince of Wales, says "The value
of the whole of the presents will not
much exceed forty thousand pounds.
1t may, however, be necessary under
this head to apply to Parliament for a
supplementary grant of eco, 900, there
by raising the sum of the appropriation
on account of the Princes personal ex-
penses from EGO, 900 to ESQ, The
value of the English goods ordered by
the Princes of India to furnish their
palaces for the reception of his Royal
Highness amounts, on careful calcula-
ton, in London alone, to fully ESQ, 600;
and the taste which the Princes visit
will create among the higher orders Of
the natives of India for English fancy
goods will, it is thought, permanently
increase the export of the productions
of English skilled labor-of the Sidonia
wares of London, Birmingham and
Staffordshire-to India. 1t is, in the
opinion of those best informed on India,
impossible to exaggerate the beneficial
political influence of the Princes visit.
He has completely won the admiration,
respect and loyalty of all classes. The
key to it is given in remarkable OBJ
servation of the Rajah of Vizianagram (:
His Royal ..Highness is to the Viceroy
as the Divinity to His symbol And
this strong tie, which the Prince of
Wales visit has created, of personal 10y
atty to himself, if wisely cultivated, will
do more than almost anything else grad
uauy 30 convert the feudatory Princes
and Chiefs into real pillars of the British
Empire in India"

the glow Of perfect health from within, true

OF all medicines which operate upon the system
through the medium Of the blood are neces-

tor-in-chief, DIR. Curde, some years
since, 10 yet more hue to-day than men
IL was written as the popularity Of the
instrument has extended, the number of
incompetent makers has Increased There
are now few articles in reference to which
the public in more deceived and imposed
upon than in parlor or cottage organs.
This is attested by thousands of such in
struments now standing utterly useless,
all over the country, which are but few
months or years old:
. CABINET OR PARI.oR ORGANS. AS
usual in such cases, the new and large
demand for these instruments has in
duced a great number of persons to en-
gage in their manufacture, some Of
whom are quite unequal to the business
they have undertaken. It requires
something more than the mechanical
skill of the artifcer in wood and iron to
make and prepare for use musical in
strument; and yet some have evidently
brought nothing eise to their aid in the
business. The result is that the country
is becoming filed with inferior and de-
fective instruments. Large sums Of
money are expended for valueless ar
ticles, and the people are defrauded of
their needed musical education. The
evil is intensified by the fact that these
inferior instruments are, on account Of
their inferiority, most industriously
urged upon the public. Because they
cannot compete with better ones in the
open market, they are pressed upon the
public by direct solicitations and be-
cause they offer larger commissions,
they are those most commonly offered
by agents and hawked by peddlers.
And as most purchasers are unable to
Judge the relative merits of these things,
the inferior articles are often bought
when better ones are desired, and would
be cheerfully paid for.
Induced by these considerations, we
have been at some pains to ascertain
what instrument of the many now So
Letting the public favor combines the
greatest amount of real exceilencies. We
have prosecuted this inquiry entirely
independently of aid or direction from
interested parties. The opinions of
some of the best musical critics, COM
posers, and performers have been OBJ
tanned, reports of experiments made in
the ordinary use of various instruments
in churches, schools, and families have
been compared, all of which with singu-
lar unanimity concur in assigning the
first place to the Cabinet Organ of Ma
son & Hamlin-a decision that cores
ponds with our own previously formed
convictions. n We have
written these things without solicitation
from any one, and without the knowl-
edge of those whose pecuniary interests
we may seem to favor. The interest of
our readers is the object we have sought
to promote. and in that inter-
est we have prosecuted our inquiries,
and we record our convictions. y

Three hundred years ago, says the
GALAXY, the heart of American civilixa-
ton lay in Q high valley of Anahauc,
meaning ssthe region Of WATER" or "the
lake country, where now the Republic
OF Mexico has It's Capital. Less than &C
miles long and 40 wide, it is somewhat
comparable to the Valley of Salt Lake,
In Utah. from the southern end of that
sheet Of water. Like that valley, 1t is
surrounded by noble mountains, snow
capped. This seems q small area to be
the home of several fiercely -cDhtending
nations, but such il was in fact. There
are misty accounts of civilization there,
and to the southwark, from the sixth to
the fourteenth century of our era, which
was In some respects at least OF higher
grade than that of which we shall pres
emily speak. But some cause swept that
away, and the authentic part of Ameri-
can history begins in 1926, when the
Aztecs, hard pressed by wal like neigh
bors, established themselves ON the
swampy shores and on some low islands
in the lake. IN io tiuos rgl 49,. =,
In the midst of this swamp they built
their first hut temple, and around
it rose within three centuries verifable
Venice, though lacking the Venetian de-
velopment of art. In Cortes' time it
was said to contain $4,000 houses and
300, 900 people. Around the lake were
fifty other towns, one of which is said to
have been larger than Mexico. Aque-
ducts brought water from the hill of
Chapultepec, fountains played in the
squares, gardens and menageries gave
the city lounging places, and canals,
threaded by thousands of canoes, con-
tributed to its life. Palaces and temples
literally rose on every hand, and, though
the architecture was not imposing, the
extent of the former was such that the
harem contained 5000 inmates. and one
of the halls was large enough to receive
an equal number of men
The means by which the Aztecs rose
so rapidly from the position of half
fugitive people to that of dominant
race is not well understood, though
line of ambitious Kings and the restless
activity of the people must explain it.
Their position in the midst of lake
made their capital secure, but otherwise
they seem to have been on about the
same footing as their neighbo-s. All
were restless and warlike, all practiced
cannibalism, and all sought the favor of
their bloody gods with equal persistence.
The most that can be said is that the
tribes of the Mexican Valley fought
among themselves; that in most fights
some one is victorious; and that in Ana
hauc the Aztecs were the conquerors.

This one is from the Kansas City
Times: Arthur Regain, little boy of
years, who has been in the habit of rid
ing Mr.. Spence's livery horses to the
creek, would have been drowned one
day last week, had it not been for the
animal he was riding. The creek was
very high, and the boy rode the horse
into deep hole or dam, and was thrown
over the horses head into the water.
The horse caught the boy by the back,
carried him to the bank, and then started
for the stable. Mr.. Spence, becoming
alarmed, ran to the creek and found the
boy, who told him the story, and upon
examination of the boys back he found
the marks of the animals teeth in the
clothing of the Lad, as well as very red
marks in the flesh.
And this one from the Boston Traveller.
Mr.. Ezra Tirrell, an aged resident of
Weymouth, has for many years been a
constant attendant on Sabbath services
at the Old North Church in that place.
He owns a horse of unexceptionable
moral character, which, though not lay
ing claim to rs great an age as his pos
SCISSOR, still is venerable with the weight
of years. This horse has carried his
owner and family to church SO many
times that he appears 10 have been thor
oughly indoctrinated into Il q orthodox
custom of church-going, and also seems
to recognize the proper day and time for
such journeys. Several Sabbaths since,
as the family were not in usual health,
Old Roam was given leisure day; but
when the bells for meeting began to
ring, true to his principle, or doing
honor to his training, he started off
alone, called moment at neighboring
house, where his master usually took in
another passenger, and proceeded on his
way to church. He took his accustomed
stand there, staid during the service,
and was escorted home at the close by
one of his obliging neighbors, apparently
with duty performed.

A Terrible Night i'm the Snow.

On Saturday Thomas f. Watson, a
young man of twenty three years, who
had been In this valley on q visit, started
to return to his home in Round Valley,
about six miles north of this place. A
Lad named Minor Wallace concluded to
go along, and the two started on snow
shoes. They assembled the mountain
north Of the town without especial diff
Guilty, but, after turning the summit, one
of Watson's snow shoes dropped off,
compelling him to wade in four or five
feet of snow. This he did distance
down the hill until the boy lost one of
his shoes. Then Watson took the re-
naming two shoes and tried to carry the
boy, but he soon found it impossible to
proceed In that manner. Night was
coming on, and Watson appeared to give
up. Although they were little more
than a mile from Wallace's place the boy
could not induce him to make another
effort to go there. Sinking down in the
snow he commenced TO beat himself.
deplore his situation, and beg the boy
to lie down by him that they might die
together. The boy started off to Wal
lace's to procure assistance, but after
proceeding short distance with much
difficulty he found place where the
uplifting of the roots of a tree had
formed shed, under which there was
little snow. He then returned to try to
get Watson in there before leaving him,
tramping down the snow to enable him
the better to get through but he could
not induce him to move, and after an
unsuccessful attempt to drag him, he
watched with him until he died. At
break OF DAY he started for home, and
at about o'clock Sunday morning he
reached Wallace's house. Lassen (Cal. }

morning, the quantity being not less
than seventy tons, which was sent up
from Liverpool on Saturday night. The

Fashion Fripperies.

Puffs are much used in arranging the
hair.
Buttons are small and of the dress ma
terial.
Front darts are short, to make the
bosom seem low.
The standing collars of dresses are
higher than ever. ID
The handsomest silk suits have bro
caded overdresses.
The new polonaises and overskirts are
80 long as almost to conceal the skirt
worn beneath them.
The fashionable dog collar in Paris is
band of black velvet ribbon holding an
antique medallion.
Cambria suits are prettier trimmed
with ruffies. Ruffies look better when
done up than plaitings.
The backs of many of the new waists
are cut in eight pieces, the seams of
which run to the shoulder seams.
Brocades, stripes, serge effects and
plain colors all appear among the inn
portations of French dress goods.
American percales compete with the
French goods in fpeness, color and
finish, and are much cheaper.
A stylish fashion is to slash the back
of basques at intervals and fill in the
slashes with fan pleatings.
The fashionable lace sacque is short
in the back and long in front. The
sleeves are coat-shaped. The bottom of
the sacque is cut in slashes.
The earrings most sought for are made
with the hooks set quite low down on
the drops, 80 that when they are in the
ears the hooks are not seen.
Buy laces in preference to fringes for
dress trimmings; the fringes are soon
out of fashion, the laces never are, but
will answer for trimmings for years.
Lace strings are used for ladies' bon
nets, ribbon ones for misses or young
girls. Both ribbon and lace strings are
seen in the capote bonnets of older
women.
Basques are still made. as cuirasses,
with sleeves matching the skirt and con-
trasting with the bodice. The coat
sleeves are frequently made of two ma
terials. York Sun.
