What a Damsel!

She was young and fair, and tear
glistened in her eye as she laid her curly
head upon his shoulder and exclaimed,
"Oh, George, think if 1 found you
did not love me / should die" "My
darling" he answered, passing his hand
gently round her dimpled chin, 81 will
always love you. Do you think / would
marry you if did not feel sure of it.
In few days, at the altar shall vow to
love you all my life, and 1 will keep my
VOW" A lovely kind of beatifc happi-
ness played for moment like sunshine
on her lips, and then she whispered,
ooh, George, l like to hear you talk
like that you have been so good to me.
You have given me diamond locket, and
a gold watch and chain, and rings that
an angel might wear outside her gloves
and not be ashamed, and if / thought
that one day you'd be sorry you'd given
me all these nice things and want them
back again, 1 should break my heart"
He held her gently against his manly
breast, and answered with q quivering
voice: "Oh, my own darling, there is
nothing on earth that could happen that
would make me repent giving you few
tokens of my love or make me want them
back again. She sprung from his arms
like joyous deer, she shook back her
sunny curls, and, with a whole poem in
her hazel eyes, exclaimed: "Oh,
George, you have taken load from my
heart I've come to say / can't marry
you after all, because I've seen some
body l like better, and thought you'd
want your presents back again.

London.

London is the greatest city the world
ever saw. Babylon, Thebes, Rome were
never so populous, while the largest city
in India Mt the present time contains less
than million inhabitants. Within the
borders OF the metropolitan and police
districts, a circle of fifteen miles, it is
computed there are at the present time
upward of four million persons London
is three times more populous than New
York, four times more populous than st.
Petersburg, twice as populous as Con-
stantinople, with two-thirds more peo-
pie in it than Paris, and one-fourth
more than even the hiving multitudes of
Pekin. All Scotland but equals it in the
number of its people, and half as many
Yorkshiremen again as are numbered in
their own county could find accommoda-
ton within its circle. Every eight min
utes of every day of every year a soul
goes out of London, and in every five
minutes of every day of every year new
immortal enters upon this scene of its
probation. 1t is at once the court, the
seat of Government, the center of fash
ion, the home of all the charities, and
the general rendezvous of all the crimi-
nal and desperate characters of the Unit
ed Kingdom.

HOmeric MNrriOrS.

The Montenegrin army is described by
correspondent of the London Times as
a mass of tatterdemalions. In the ranks
a majority are more or less ragged, and
the battalions in their ranks do not
trouble themselves much with being in
exact line or keeping any particular po
sition, although no army drill could Sc
cure more absolute obedience to any or
der. Life at the headquarters of the
Prince of Montenegro is an Homeric
study. When in the morning the Prince
appears, line is formed instantly, and
all uncover while he takes his walk up
and down the terrace. AS ne walks
along the line, now and then man runs
forward, catches the hand of his Prince,
and kisses it, dropping back into his
place and then another and another, the
ruler accepting the homage with man.
ner which has great fascination for the
supplemented folk-with smile, a
word of interest, in some cases ques-
ton as to their affairs; for he knows, it is
said, every head of family in his do
minions personally and by name, and
occasionally breaks his promenade to
enter into conversation more seriously,
or even to provoke general discussion,
when circle rapidly forms around him
to listen and take part. There is moth
ing servile in their manner even to him,
but the most unbounded reverence and
devotion. 1t is a favorite amusement of
his to wake up the emulation of the men
by talking to some one of them of some
heroic deed he has done, and provoking
comparisons, when contest of preten-
sions to equal or greater merit begins,
every man considering himself entitled
to push his claims, which he does in no
vainglorious way, but by recounting
what he has done. As they are sur
rounded by witnesses of the deeds, no
man dares to exaggerate his exploits, and
the crowd confirms. These are the
warriors who are now renewing in West
ern Turkey the battle which they have
waged with the Turks for four centuries.

Cause Of Headaches.

The cause of headaches has latterly re-
ceived much investigation. DIR. George
L. Stevens, OF Albany, has been at pains
to demonstrate the relation between dis
ordered eyesight and many nervous dis
eases, including headache. By means
of diagrams in the New York Medical
Journal he shows how difficulties in the
ordinary use of the eyes, arising from
far-sightedness, short-sightedness, and
other defects of the kind, must cause
continual irritation to the nerves. Es-
pecially is this the case with far-sighted-
ness, and numerous instances are cited
where patients suffering frequently and
severely from headaches have been en-
tirely cured by wearing spectacles suited
to their eyes. Other affections Of the
eyes result similarly, but the instances
met with in practice are fewer. There
seems to be abundant evidence that
several more serious forms of nervous
disease may be an outgrowth of such ir-
ritation.

John Mt the Auction.

The other morning, at an auction sale
on @ street, a lot of worn-out household
furniture was under the hammer, when
a Chinaman, who had been carefully
watching operations for some time, put
in bid of "two bittee" for an old di-
lapidated washstand. 1.-TWO bits-do /
hear the three?" shouted the auc-
tioneer. There was long pause, broken
at last by the Chinaman bidding again,
"Tree bite" The crowd laughed Mt
the Celestial for raising his own bid, and
the auctioneer, taking in the situation,
sang out "Three bittee-do L hear
four ?" and looked over at John. There
was another long pause, but at last go
bittee came frem the Chinaman, and
roar of laughter went up, in which even
number of old women joined 80 heartily
as to almost shake their false teeth out.
Still the auctioneer held on to the wash
stand, and the Chinsman, determined to
secure it, bid five, six, seven and eight
" bittee successfully and it was finally
passed over to him for 81. He received
it with a smile OF awful dimensions, re-
marking "Me ketchee washstand, you

WILD COLLEGIANS.
A Whole Princeton Glass suspended--Pun-
ished for BulldoxIng the Faculty.


princeton IN. J) Cor. New York worldl
There has been custom mt Princeton
College for some years past, among the
outgoing Freshman class, of anticipating
the assumed rights of the Sophomore
year, and of making it as uncomfortable
as possible for the incoming class while
they were undergoing their examinations
for entrance. These annoyances never
consisted of anything more than few
amusements, such as "right-lefting"
the pseudo Freshman across the campus,
for which process all that is needed are
about dozen loud-tongued "Sophs I"
and timid Freshman. The "Sophs,
when a new man is espied, will begin to
chant their pecan, fright, left, right,
left" and so on, keeping time with his
steps. If he gets what in college par
lance is termed ga case of the grins, {"
their fiendish object is accomplished if
not, they give it up and await another
victim. In the catalogue it is announced
that all candidates for admission are re-
CURED to register their names with the
President on the evening before the ex-
animation. This gives good opportu-
nifty for the "Sophs" to insinuate that
the newcomers are Fresh :" to this
end they assemble in full numbers in
the neighborhood of DR.. McCosh's res
ldence, and form regular gantlet,
through which the candidate for col
lege honors has to pass, and, by
the time he gets into the Presidents
mansion, if he is not convinced of his
verdancy it certainly is not owing to the
fact that he has never been assured of
it. In this custom the class of 80 were
so demonstrative that they brought out
the venerable DR.. McCosh from his
study, who warned them to Immediately
dispense and let the incoming men alone,
but neither this nor the presence of the
grim-visaged proctor had the desired
effect, and the thing continued.
On the next day the same thing was
carried on as the 81 men were going into
Examination Hall. In this bulldOzing,"
the faculty and the $50 men were not
of one mind, and consequently some
thirty-two of the latter were ordered to
leave town before Monday noon. On
Friday night the $50 men, having fin
ished their examinations, serenaded their
several tutors in style more boisterous
than musical, interspersing among other
certain songs uncomplimentary to the
faculty. This was the straw that broke
the camels back. On Saturday night
the whole class of 80, numbering almost
hundred men, were summoned, sus-
pended from college, and required to
leave town by noon Monday. If any of
them were seen here after that time a
longer suspension would be the result.
This is the first time a whole class has
been suspended from this college, and as
a consequence there is a great deal of
excitement over the matter A member
of the faculty told the WOrld CORE
spondent that this extreme measure had
to be adopted in order to check the
growing evil, which was injuring the re-
putation of the college. 1t was having
the effect of keeping men who were
naturally timid away.

Why Farragut was {" Lashsd.v

The press has frequently spoken of an
incident in Admiral Farragut's life which
in the popular mind adds to his we'll
earned reputation for gallantry. In a
well-known painting the Admiral appears
dashed to the mast of his ship in the
midst of the Mobile bay fight. The
question why the Admiral took that I'M
usual position has often been asked. but
as far as / know the true answer has not
yet been given. / have now read atten-
lively a charming letter from Mrs. Bart
lett, to Portsmouth IN. H. journal.
Mrs. Bartlett, who met the Admiral at n
ball given in his honor, availed herself.
during pleasant conversation, of an in.
terval to inquire why he dashed himself
to the mast His answer, as given by
that lady, is incomplete. He was dashed
to the mast, as she relates, to protect
him from being precipitated to the deck
by casualty. He had another reason for
the flashing which she does not mention
He needed the free use of his hands. in
one OF which he held his speaking-trum-
pet. But the Admiral's object or reason
for going aloft instead Of remaining on
the quarterback is still a mystery.
And yet that reason, as he gave it to
me, very much in the spirit of his CONVEX
sation with Mrs. Bartlett, was a very
SIMPLE and yet very satisfactory one.
In his former battles below New Orleans
and up the Mississippi river he had been
seriously embarrassed, once by the con-

Killed While witnessing Holiday
Sports.

At the athletic games mt Cornwall on
the Queens birthday, Mr.. r. r. Nc
Lehman, the champion hammer-thrower
OF the world, after repeated solicitations
from those present to give an exhibition
of his power and skill as a hammer
thrower, decided to accede to their re-
quests. Several parties were sent out to
warn the crowd to keep back, and, every
thing being announced in readiness, Mr..
McLennan took up the hammer, a twelve
FOUNDER, we are informed, and, after
swinging around with it five or six times,
sent it spinning through the air dis
lance of about 800 feet. AS soon as the
hammer left his hand all eyes were turned
in the direction in which it was going,
as it was evident it would fall in the
crowd at the southwest corner of the
field. The people at that end of the
field were seen making effort to get out
of the way, but alas they were not all
able to escape. A shrek of horror went
up from the crowd when the hammer
was seen alighting among them and
striking young girl. All rushed to the
spot, fearing that it was daughter,
sister, or some friend that had been
crushed beneath the hammer. It was
soon made known that the victim was O
daughter of Michael Kavanagh. The
ball struck her on the back of the head,
completely smashing in her skull. Those
who were near by say the girl never
moved muscle after the hammer struck
her. The blood poured out of her mouth,
nose, eyes and ears. She was about ID
years OF age. The tears poured down
poor McLennan's cheeks when he was
informed that the girl was killed. OF
course no blame could possibly be at
tached to him. He had not been in the
habit of throwing the hammer for some
years, and had very little idea of the dis
lance or direction it would go. Had it
gone in the direction he intended, it
might not have reached the crowd
