Singular Act Of . Monomaniac.

For year past, at intervals of about q
month, a man about forty five years OF
age, of genteel appearance, fine figure,
and good, rational conversational powers,
has been in the habit of riding on the
ferry boats between Philadelphia and
Gloucester. He always brings q large
paper package with him, and US soon as
the boat gets fairly under way he opens
the package and drops its contents, piece
by piece, into the river. In this way
numerous articles of clothing, of good
quality, books of large size and expensive
binding, boots and shoes, new and partly
worn, have been committed to the tides.
At times he brings box of cigars, and
drops them, one by one, into the river,
until the box is empty. He was once
questioned why he squandered things IN
that way; his reply was that {" the tide
would, doubtless, carry them to some one
who would make good use of them"
The officers and crews of the boats have
become quite familiar with his person,
and whenever he comes on board his &C.
tions are watched with considerable inter-
est. No attempt has yet been made to
restrain him from committing these acts,
as he always appears self possessed, and
perfectly aware of what he is doing. His
last ride was on Thursday last, when on
the down trip he distributed to the waves
a general assortment of clothing from the
forward end of the boat The deck hands
tried to catch some of the articles with q
boat-hook as they floated past the stern,
but without result.-Philadelphi Ledger.

4 Brave Drummer Boy.

Col. Cyrus Leland, native Of Grafton,
in this State, now of Troy, Kan, who
raised and commanded the Fifth Kansas
Volunteers in the late war, relates the fol-
lowing incident: III
"In the spring Of 1864 we were march
ing along in broken, woody country in
Southern Arkansas, southwark, when one
day the infantry, about 200 strong, acting
as escort to my mule-train Of about 100
wagons, was moving just in advance of
it. A they passed . sharp turn in the
road by q corner of field-fence q strong
body of the enemy suddenly rushed out
from the timber and brush ard attacked
them, killing and wounding the officers
and some men, and two of the three mu:
sicians. Our escort was thrown into
confusion and ran back; so did the little
drummer boy, with his drum over his
shoulder. The head of my train was
just approaching the turn of the road,
but had now halted. Five of us-my-
self, clerks and orderly-were sitting on
our horses, revolvers in hand, as the in
fantry came running back toward US; but
the little drummer boy, on arriving at the
fence corner just before me, looked up,
bareheaded as he was, and, seeing us
and the train, at once wheeled around and
began beating the long roll, whichmeans
fall into line
The little blackhaired fellow played
his level best, and the flying men hear
ing the roll call, and seeing the brave boy
beating so furiously and resolutely, with
his face to the approaching enemy, be.
gan falling into line, and soon nearly all
Of them were in battle order and blazing
away at the coming foe. The drum,
however, could still be heard above the
din and battle of the musketrY. We dis
charged our revolvers at the enemy
across the corner of the field fence, and
the fire Of our now rallied escort was so
hot and effective that the opposing
forces soon retreated and ran into the
timber out of sight, leaving many dead
and wounded. I rode up to the little
drummer boy. and, patting him on the
head, told him he ought to have Cap
tain's commission, for he by his GOODNESS
and courage had stopped the panic and
saved the train from capture. WELL
said he, the long roll will stop panic
if anything will. '''-Boston Aduertiser.

Clerks In New York.

The chances of this class are poor
enough at best; but at the present time it is
marked by peculiar misfortunes. mem
ton this because just now the attention of
80 many young men is turned toward this
city. The number of new concerns open.
ing with the new year IL very small, and
the severest economy is practiced. Every
body seems to be under what they call
"the Centennial pressure" Clerks who
simply write, and are called entry clerks,
may be had at $500 year. Book keepers
are paid from $500 to 81 500, while sales
men in Stewards and the fashionable dry
goods stores earn from $S to SIS per
week. Some Of these are married men,
and how they live is q mystery. The
effort to keep up q genteel appearance by
making seedy and almost shabby clothes
hold out in service is suggestive Of q
painful degree of economy. often notice
this when going through frstclass stores,
and I feel how much can be uttered by
the attempt to keep up an appearance:
At present there are not less than 5000
professional clerks out Of employment,
and it is no wonder that 30 many young
men are found in the ranks of crime.-N.

Some Facts About Leap Year.

The necessity of having one year in
four with a single day more than the 9TH
ers is founded upon the fact that the rota-
ton of the earth around the sun is accom-
plished in 365 days, five hours, forty eight
minutes and forty six seconds, or about
eleven minutes less than quarter of a day.
Julius Caesar, when he attempted to cor
rect the almanac, made the mistake of ig-
noring the eleven minutes, and misun-
derstanding Of the imperial decree fixed
the leap year one year in three. Augustus,
eight years B. G., ordained that for the
next twelve years there should be no leap
year, and thus corrected the error for the
time. But there were the eleven minutes
which, as the centuries rolled on, became
hours and days. The Council of Nice, in
A. D. 1926, brought the sun and the alma
mac into harmony, but left the perplexlng
eleven minutes unprovided for, and it
thus went on for twelve centuries, when
Pope Gregory XIII, finding The sun ten
days behind the calendar, ordained rad
ical cure, enjoining that the ten days be-
tween the Sd and the 10Th of October,
1882, should be struck out of the alma
nae. The different nations of Europe
adopted like course, one after another,
Protestant England being the last to con-
form to the Pope's bull, in 1852, when the
English calendar dropped eleven days, in
September, which had then accumulated.
To prevent errors in future, it is necessary
that three leap years shall be omitted in
each 400 years, and this is managed by
making the omitted years the even hun
dreds, that are not divisible by 400. So
that 100 nor 1900 were, and 1900 will not
be a leap year, but 1000 will be, as 1900
was.
In transposing from "old" to "new
style" the time must be taken into &C.
count; the farther back we 60 the fewer
days it takes to make it right. The Pill
grims landed in Plymouth Dec. II and,
as the error was only ten days, the cele-
brations of that event should be on the
21st and not the 22d. The days of the
week were not affected by this change.
The fact that leap year gives unusual
prerogatives to the gentler sex who are
matrimonially inclined is not of astro-
nomical origin, but may, nevertheless, be
worthy of the most profound masculine
respect.-Atlaoaukes Wis.) Netos.

Accidental ShOOtings.

Scarcely week passes that the papers
do not chronicle deaths from accidental
shooting. During the last week two or
three occurrences of this character have
been telegraphed to the Inter- Ocean, and
more will undoubtedly follow. Some one
playfully points an old pistol or dilapi-
dated shot gun at companion, and pulls
the trigger. Who would have thought
the gun was loaded? And yet it goes off
and buries its ounce or so of lead in the
heart or brain of the victim. And though
this story is reported, over and over and
over again, and the instances where such
blind carelessness has resulted fatally
have been multiplied until every school
boy must have heard OF them, the acct
dents continue, seemingly unchecked,
and the number of deaths from such
causes bids fair to rival or exceed those
by railway accidents.
The law does not hold guiltless persons
who take the life of another in this man.
ner, but its provisions are rarely enforced
owing to the indisposition of the public
to punish an offense committed without
malice. 1t is question, however, if pen
alties, and severe ones, will not have to
be exacted before this idiotic practice Of
tritiing with deadly weapons shall be
done away with. Last week boy who
was frightening his sister with an old
gun managed before he had ended his
trolic to send charge of buckshot en-
'irely through her body, killing her in
stantly. Monday a boy pointed an old
pistol at his little brother and snapped it,
when, much to his surprise, the
weapon went off, tearing the child's
skull to pieces and bringing instant
death Yesfardav at Fort Woxno onotI,
er boy of sixteen years was playfully
threatening to shoot, when the weapon
was discharged and the load buried in the
brain of the victim OF this pleasant pas
time. 1t reads most aggravatingly to see
appended to all these accounts the state
ment that the innocent" cause of the ac-
cident is NEARLY crazed with griet' 1t
is small consolation to the agonized par
ents of the murdered child that the care
less fool who has robbed them is distressed
at the accident. The fact is, lads of the
age named have no business with firearms
of this description. There are thousands
Of boys in Chicago who are in the habit
of carrying pistols in their pockets and
tourishing them around the streets, and
with which they will one of these days
commit acts similar to those mentioned
above, or perhaps worse. In fact, it is
only short time ago that case of this
kind occurred right in the heart of the
city. 1t is the duty Of parents to prohibit
and prevent the carrying of firearms by
their children, but if they do not do this
duty then the police should look to it. 1t
is certainly time that these constantly re-
curing accidents should end.-Chicago

Crime In Rome.

A Rome correspondent describes a re-
markable series of tragedies that has re-
Gently taken place in little town twelve
miles south of Rome. Two young peas
ants who had been friends fell out about
a love affair, and, IN fit of jealousy, one
drew knife and plunged it into the body
of his rival. Death did not ensue, but The
one who gave the wound was condemned
to imprisonment. The punishment of the
law did not satisfy the passion of the CON-
panion, and he swore to take his life with
his own hand as soon as the condemned man
should come out Of prison. 1t was not
long before the opportunity was presented.
He waited for his adversary in by-road,
and fired at him twice. but neither of the
shots took effect. Failing thus in his at
tempt at revenge, he went to seek conso-
lation from his own father. Il have not
succeeded in making away with him." he
said, with sadness. Take courage, my
son." responded the duhful parent :;
"leave the matter to me; I will find way
to kill him." And thus twas done: Two
men were found in the neighborhood OF
character bad enough for the commission
Of any atrocity. To them the father said ::
II have need that that young man shall
be put out of the way, and will give you
fifty scudi to do 1t, and here are twenty OF
them as earnest money" 1T shall be
done," was the response, accepting at the
same time the terms and the advance
money. The two men were friends or
companions of the intended victim. They
sought him at once and invited him to
drink with them, and succeeded in reduc-
ing him to intoxication. Then, each of
them taking him under the arm, they con-
Quoted him outside the village. They
laid him down to sleep in aretired place
to be used for taking his life. They
whitfield the ends of two grape-poles to
sharp points, and these, one on the one
side and the other on the other, were run
with force into the great veins of the neck,
killing their victim Immediately. The
result of this remarkable vendetta has
been the arrest of the murderers and their
