CentiDedeS in India.

A correspondent of the Boston Com
noercjal Bulletin, writing from Bengal,
speaks with unmeasured disgust of the
creeping things found in that region
snakes, white ants, giant cockroaches,
scorpions and centipedes: "In Allep-
pey-a nasty, damp hole, with canals all
over, full of ducks, salt warehouses and
bazaar smells -I've counted ten orr dozen
centipedes on the walls Of single ROOM;
big fellows, from four to fourteen inches,
too, with their forty venomous legs. 1t
is horrible to be bitten by centipede.
They may crawl all over you without
hurting you, but if they get scared, in go
the barbed, poisonous, horny points of
each one of their forty feet, with an cleo
trio shock Of burning pain, and a ven
omous grab with the terrible jaws, and
then a move Of few inches and rope
tition of the dose, and so on. [ never got
bitten myself, but friend of mine, who
had been bitten, used to turn pale and
sick at the very thought of the horrible
agony. And it is not only severe pain,
for the centipede's bite, especially from
one of the older creatures, is frequently
fatal. "

Checker Championship.

The checker match for the champion
ship of the world and 5000, between
Yates, of New York, and Martins, the
famous Scotch player, ended at New
York recently in victory for Yates.
The match was of twenty days duration.
There were to have been fifty games
played, but Martins resigned after the
forty-ninth. The score made was :
Yates, B !; Martins, drawn, As. This
leaves Yates, at 10 years of age, the
champion checlzer-player of the world,
he having beaten Wiley five to one in
twenty-six games in April, 1876, and
two to one in a match of fifty games last
August. After twenty years Of rivalry
for the championship between Wiley
and Martins, their score stood twenty
two games for Wiley and nineteen for
Martins.

WONDERFUL ESCAPE.
Two Children's Terrible FalI--Heroic Deed
of Little Girl

OF a Little Girl
From the Halifax N. S.) Chronicle.l
The town of Pictou has just been the
scene of one of the most heroic deeds
ever done by young girl, and another
name has been added to the list of Can
ada's noblest heroines. Mrs. Capt. ivy,
a widow and tenant in one of the houses
OF Mr.. G. Z. Irving, on going out locked
IN the room her two children, Henry and
Alice, aged respectively 5 and 7 years.
About $50 p. m. they arose from the bed
AND lit the lamp. There was some fe-
male wearing apparel hanging on the
wall, and directly under was trunk On
this they placed the lamp, which imme-
dlately set the clothes on fire. and filed
the room with flame and smoke. The
children were naturally excited in their
dreadful position, hardly knowing what
to do. The little girl knew that the key
was in the lock, but how could she find
a way to go out and turn it to let her
brother out? She appeared to forget
herself entirely, and thought only of the
brother under her care. Alarm for her
brothers safety overcame all obstacles.
and she formed the terrible project of
jumping to the ground from The third
story window, The noble girl, instead
OF giving the alarm from the window.
was unable to wait. Her brother must
be let out immediately; she must open
the door, and SO she did; for, crawling
out on shelf fastened to the window.
and lowering herself the length of her
short arms, she dropped down to the
ground-a distance Of exactly thirty-ive
feet by tape measurement. The air
caught under her clothes in her descent
and broke the fall, otherwise she must
have broken some bones or been dashed
to pieces. She then rushed up the stairs,
but upon opening the door was Mortified
at the absence Of all signs of her brother.
Her perplexity found vent in cries as she
ran for help. In the meantime the little
fellow, scared out of his senses. did not
heed the command to stay until she
opened the door, but crawled out to see
where his sister had gone, and fell over
the shelf to the ground. Mr.. Thomas
Harris, passing by just then, heard the
groans, and by the light of match
found the insensible child. Upon carry
ing him up stairs he discovered the fire.
He Immediately gave the alarm, and car
ried the child into MI. Hamilton's house.
The boys face is considerably scratched
by the gravel he fell on, but the internal
injuries, so far as can beyet ascertained,
are not very serious. Had he fallen
slightly to either side his back must have
been broken or his head split by the
stair railing or the sharp angular corner
of a large box. Crowds have been look
ing up at the dizzy height from which
the one jumped and the other fell, and
cannot see how they we're not both
instantly killed. To-day the boy
has been able to walk round the room
and play while sitting on the bed. A
complete recovery is expected. The
arm and leg of the daring heroine are
slightly injured, but she feels no other
Ill effects from her perilous drop.

Bad Tobacco.

The United States Marshal at Chicage
the other day found himself in guam
Diary. For infraction of the Revenue law
he had seized 1000 pounds of damaged
leaf tobacco. Several times he tried to
sell it, but always there were no bidders.
Finally, he received orders to get rid of
it in some way. Accordingly he put it
on tug, towed it into the lake, and then
and there dumped it. The tug men
fished out some of it, but it proved too
bad fer smoking or for chewing.
