Like the shy character he was, Tom
rarely went into society. His poverty. too
and his life as hard working student, Tor
bade il so that he had never met MISS
Fleetwood before, although she was on
quite friendly terms with his sister lie
had heard his sister speak OF her often In
the highest manner. as woman possess
ing uncommon abilities, together with
large amount of common sense. From
which 1t may be inferred that Mrs. Carol
did not think that the two qualities were
always found together.
As Mr.. Fleetwood was talking with Mr..
Carol, aud as Mrs. Carol excused her
self Ia short time, Tom was lett 10 en-
terrain Miss Fleetwood He sat in his
chair awkwardly, debating within himself
as to what he should say to open the con-
versation, when Miss Fleetwood saved
him the trouble.
"How do you like the college, Mr.. Wal
lace Pr
Very WELL" replied Tom, delighted
that she had mentioned a subject that he
could talk about. From the college it was
easy to pass to books and literature. So
that Mrs Carol coming in to announce
supper, was agreeably surprised to find
the two earnestly engaged in going over
late poem by noted author.
The supper passed off pleasantly and
the evening was the most delightful Tom
had ever spent. When the guests had
gone, and Tom was alone in his room, he
thought to himself but did not say it, that
Miss Fleetwood was the most agreeable
person he had ever met. She had shown
II rare sympathy aud interest in his
thoughts and plans that did him much
good.
IL believe could work lifetime for
such a woman. he spoke half uncon-
sciously; but pshaw what's the use OF
talking. IfI-yes. if" he said rather bit

Silver Passing Safe Through the Pitts
burgh Riot.

Among the cars which were destroyed
during the prevalence of the riot were
ten or twelve which contained freight
shipped by the Pennsylvania Lead Com
pany of Mansfield. 1t was generally
supposed that all these cars contained
pigs of lead, and, in the surfeit of other
more valuable and more easily transport
ed goods, no one thought of loading
himself with this heavy metal. After
the fire, it was discovered that three Of
the cars contained pure silver, which
had been smelted at the Mansfield estab-
lishment, and which was on its way to
the Philadelphia mint. The silver was
in the form of pigs, little smaller than
pigs of lead, and, like the lead, it has
melted and run down between the ties
and in the cutters OF course there was
no effort on the part of the company to
dissipate the impression that the cars
contained nothing but lead, and as the
metals look much alike there were no at
tempts to steal any of the more precious
substance. The value of the silver that
was in the cars is not definitely known,
but the amount was several thousand
dollars. Pitts6uUgh Telegraph.

Soaring Away the Eclipse.

Soon after my arrival at Bagdad, on
the evening of the first day in May, as
we were dining on the terrace, we were
startled by a most terrific din. We
then noticed that there was a nearly total
eclipse of the moon, and upon consulting
an English almanac we found that it
would be "invisible at Greenwich, but
a total eclipse in Australia and some
narts of Asia" The tumult increased,
and soon the whole population seemed
to have assembled on the house-tops,
armed with pots, pans and kitchen uten-
sis. which they beat with tremendous
chatter. at the same time screaming and
bowling at the top of their voices. Ere
ouent reports of guns and pistols added
TO the turmoil, which was kept up for
nearly an hour, until they had succeeded
in. frightening away the jim, or evil
spirit. who had caught hold of the
moon. II was most amusing scene,
although it interfered seriously with the
succees OF our dinner. Our own ser
