UayeS an Early Riser.

A correspondent SAYS The President
at six o'clock in the morning is at his
desk in his sleeping apartment, enjoying
the pleasures of correspondence with
friends. In another portion Of the EX-
ocutivc Mansion Mr.. Rogers, the private
secretary, is Mt his desk, engaged in the
personal affairs which demand his atten-
ton. About eight o'clock they leave
together to enjoy the fresh air. BY nine
o'clock the President and his private
secretary breakfast with the family. At
the table are the President, Mrs. Hayes,
Mr.. Rogers, Webb Hayes, the two young
children and such guests as may be
visiting the Executive Mansion. After
breakfast they begin the duties Of the
dny. The stated hours of business are
from ten A. NJ 10 two 7. NJ, except Tues
days and Fridays, cabinet days and
Saturdays. At two T. NJ. the President
leaves his Office for lunch, after which
he sometimes returns 10 the cabinet
room 10 meet some personal or other
person by special appointment. The
dining hour is six T.. NJ.
All the rooms are filled with guests,
and at their table any friend of the fam
ily Mt hand is invited TO lunch or dine,
the rule being always to have all the
sents at the table filed, when there are
friends to fill them. After dinner the
President and Mrs. Hayes withdraw to
the reception room, or TO the library up
stairs, where Mrs. Hayes receives her
personal friends. The formal social
routine of the Executive Mansion, under
the present administration, will not be
determined until the proper time.

By an explosion of fire damp in the
Wgdesville colhery, lear POttsvIlle, Pa,
seven miners were killed and number
seriously injured. One Of the miners
Edward WeallrIm, a young Irishman,
who escaped unhurt-was standing on a
low platform beside the gangwav, SHOW
cling coal into a mine wagon, when there
came a rush of burning gas down the air
course. 1t came like flash, and like
flash the quick wittei fellow dropped of
his platform, and, falling full length on
the gangway track, grusped the iron rail
and held on for dear life The explosion
hurled the partly loaded car from the
track and dashed il against the wall so
rs to shield him from the flames. On
either side Of him men were roasted
alive at their work. Weakram lay still
but a moment, and rs soon as the force
Of the explosion had passed. jumped up
and ran along the passage to escape the
return draft, which he knew would bring
with it the deadly after-damp, in
which no man can breathe. His lamp
was out. and he had no time 10 light 1t ;
but he stumbled along in the dark, over
fallen timbers and the dcbris brought
down by the explosion, until he heard n
comrades voice and, reached a place
where he could breathe with comparative
freedom. The explosion destroyed the
yentilating appliances, checking the air
currents and filling all that part Of the
mine with carbonic acid gas, the "aiter-
damp or choke-damp of the mines.

Youthful BeggarS.

Two tiny beggar girls were brought
into a police court in New York city by
an officer, who found them begging in
William street. One was three years
old. the other six. They were poorly
clad, cold and wet from exposure 20 the
rain. Both Of them sobbed bitterly as
the Oldest told her little story: Father
and mother both out OF work, and the
family lived on what these two mites
could beg from down town restaurants,
and the earnings OF brother by boot
hlacking after school hours; occasionally,
also. the father found an "odd Job. "
The Judge asked if they would not like
to be in a good home, where they would
not need to beg. Both sobbed faster
than before. while the older replied 81
don't want 10 leave me mother" Ar
rangements were made to investigate
their case, and for the time being they
were sent home.

A Remedy for Diseases.

An OLD German, aged eighty, who had
all his lifetime suffered from short sight,
was one day Jogging to market on his
respectable mare, Dobbin. Dobbin
tripped on stone and flung her rider.
The old man fell upon n stone, which
pierced his skull. The dense vapors
which had obscured his vision so long
were enabled to escape through the
apertlhe, and, on his recovery, the ven
cradle gentleman had the sight of an
eagle. A cavalier was troubled with the
same infirmity. He saw large salmon
hanging up outside fishmonger's shop,
and mistaking it for young lady Of his
acquaintance, removed his cap and adj
dressed it with courtesy. Another youth
having made great fun of the mistake,
the short sighted cavalier felt himself
constrained, in honor, to call him out.
In the duel he received sword wound
over his left eye, and this completely
cured his vision.

ConStantinopie.

Coustantinople, the Turkish capital.
SO far as external appearance Is concern
ed, Is probably the most beautiful city
in the world. Situated nj the confluence
Of the Bosphorus with the sea Of Mar
mora, IL stands on the site Of the ancient
Bvzantium. The seven hills upon
which il is built ascend and then re-
cede from the shore, and n beautiful
green hill forms the background. View
ed from the sea, palaces, mosques, baths,
bazaars, domcs, turrets and spires tower
one above another in magnificent per
spcctive. But the magic Of the prospect
disappears on entering the city. The
streets are narrow, dirty and badly
paved; the houses vary in size and
shape, and are mostly built Of wood, so
that fires are frequent, and disastrous in
their effects whenever they occur. The
seragho presents n long range Of white
washed walls, relieved against screens Of
cypress and tamarind trees. 1t iucludcs
the buildings inhabited by the Sultan
aud his court, the harcm, or womcu's
apartments, and the public offices, which
are separated from the city by q vast
wall. and entered 10y several gates, two
Of which are Of magnificent architecture.
The number of inhabitants OF Constan-
tinople. including the suburbs, amounts
to about OO0 600.

A bull had knocked over in succes-

which was on the point Of again goring

had lasted but a few seconds, and a loud
cry Of horror burst from every part Of
the ring.
Everybody sprung TO his feet, from
King Alfonso in the royal box 10 the low
est rabble down near the barriers.
Shrieks Of anguish burst from the
women. while others covered their faces
with their hands or fans Men Of every
rank and age could not refrain from
uitering expressions Of dismay and con-
sternation, which were again renewed
when the wretched sufferer, after rising
TO his feet, staggered few steps and
fell down pale and covered with blood,
which streamed over his brilliant cos
tune.
The guards and soldiers had much
trouble in keeping the people from
rushing iato the ring and going from the
galleries toward the door at which the
wounded man had been carried ont by
the attendants. The confusion lasted
some time, and no one cared much for

Profitable "Damages. !"

A Hartford paper prints the following
railroad romance: 1.-THE industry of
railroading has developed some thrifty
characters. among whom former en-
ployee of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford road deserves high rank. He
was at one time ut work in the Spring
field depot, and while taking trunk ont
Of n baggage car from Boston he WAS
thrown over and hurt, the baggage
smashing art being reversed. The IN
iured employee suffered terribly, and
crawled around on crutches until the
Boston and Albany and the New Haven
roads united and gave him $4,000. He
was cured the next day. Shortly after
ward man ON the Boston and Albany
road was killed, and the company gave
his widow $1,000 The former cripple,
who had scored $4,000 already, soon
married her, and thus counted 50, 600.
He recovered his health so completely
that he was able again to work on the
railroad, but, finally, not being hurt
again within reasonable time, he re-
tired 10 a farm which he had bought with
part of the proceeds of his former ca
lamities."
