who occupy bed together. Both are terribly
wounded, and their faces much disfgured,
They certainly do not look like such despera-
does as they are. Cole, who has bright red
whiskers, had his right eye bandaged, and
said he was suffering from seven wounds.
James had a fearful-lookl mouth, the lower
iawbone being shattered. The doctor would
not allow them to talk much, and as curious
peOple were passing in and out, | left them

their talk is sometimes delirious Both are
brave, never moaning, and are receiving every
possible attention.

A Chinese F@ftble.
From the San Frarclsco Call.


Fohi, in the course of hts wanderinps. com.
ing to village, Knocked at the door of rich
woman and begged PERMISSION to enter.
"What" said she, 'do you think | receive
into my house every rowing vagabond, No.
indeed it would be unbelitting a respectable
woman Go your way"
Then he went to the cottage of poor wo-
man. who at once kindly begged him to en-.
ter. She set before him the only food she
had, a little goats milk broke a piece of
bread into it, and SAID, May Foh bless it,
that we may both have enough"
She then prepared him couch of straw
and, when he fell asleep, perceiving that he
had no shirt, she sat up all night and made
him one out of some linen she had made by
her own hard labor In the morning she
brought it to him, begging he would not de.
spise her poor gift, After breakfast, she &C.
companied him a little way, and at parting
Fohi said, May the first work you undertake
last until evening""
When she got home, she began to measure
her linen, to see how much was left; and she
went on measuring, aud did not come to the
END OF IT until the evening, when her house
and yard were full of linen; in short, she did
not Know what to do with her wealth. Her
rich neighbor, seeing this, was sorely vexed
and resolved that such good fortune should
not escape her again.
After some months the traveller came once
more to the village; she went to meet him,
pressed him to go to her house, treated him
to the best food she had, and in the morning
brought him shirt Of fine linen which she
had had made some lime before; but all night
she kept candle burning IN her room, that
the stranger, if he awoke, might suppose she
was making his shirt After breakfast she
accompanied him out of the village, and
when they parted he said, May the first work
you undertake last till EVENING"
She went her way home, thinking the whole
time OF her linen, and anticipating its won.

gan to low. Before measure my linen"
said she, 81 will quickly fetch the cows some
water"
But when she poured the water into the
trough, her pail never emptied; she went on
pouring, the stream increased and soon her
house and yard were all under water; the
neighbors complained thar everything was
ruined; the cattle were drowned and with
difficulty she saved her own life, for the wa
ter never ceased flowing until the setting of
the sun.

What Daniel Deronda was Made tor.

Deronda disappoints us, therefore, but here
again little reflection must convince US tha
the author has succeeded in what she under
took. She never meant Deronda to satisfy Us
by English success; she created him for the
sole purpose which he abundantly tulfills
which is to give the Christian men and wo
men better and truer conception than is
common among them of the Jewish people
and of Jewish character; to restore the Jews
in a better sense than the material one il
which that restoration is commonly talked
Of; to give them their rghtful place in the
worlds regard, the place from which they
have been thrust out by ignorance, prejudice
and bigotry. Derondas end is matter Of
consequence in this view OF the subject He
has served the purpose for which he was ere
ated, and it Is as well to send him on Quix
otto mission to the East as to dispose of him
IN any other way.-N. Y. Post.

Up to this date we Hgure that l ,220 miles
OF railroad have been constructed in the L.
S. during 1876 THIS is more than twice the
mileage reported in 1870 TO the same time,
and third more than in the corresponding
portion of 1874 The progress during the
last three or four months has been especially
remarkable. By the middle of April only
SOs miles were reported; So that the second
four months If the year have seen three times
as much road built as the first four months
IL Is certain that the remainder of the year
will see a still larger monthly rate of increase
than the preceding months, and that the
amount of railroad construction for the cen.
tennial year will largely exceed that in either
1915 or 1874, indicating a genuine revival in
the railroad business, precursor Of revival
