A CHILD CATCHES A WEAsEL.-The
Newbury Journal of Saturday tells the
ft flowing story of adventure, the little
heroine being young miss of some
twelve years, the daughter of a farmer
residing near the village of Mount Hope:
while she was engaged feeding hen
and chickens at an early hour this morn
ing, q weasel made its appearance among
the brood, and seized one of the chicks.
The plucky little girl grasped the chick
en- and vainly endeavored to release it
from the fatal jaws of its ravenous enc
my. Bereft, in its eagerness for blood,
of fear, the weasel held on, resisting all
the efforts made to shake him off. De-
termined not to be beaten in the contest,
the young miss then seized the weasel
by the nape of its neck and ran to the
house, a distance of some two hundred
feet, making her appearance in the din
ing-room, where the family were seated
at breakfast, with it firmly clutched in
her grasp, her hands bleeding from re-
peated applications of its teeth and
claws. Here the family dog was called
in, but the weasel fastened its jaws into
the upper lip of his dogship, who with
bowls ofpain wildly ran about the room.
The distress of the dog-a great house
hold pet-again put the little girl upon
her mettle, and seized the weasel she
choked him off the dog, but only to
cause him to fasten his teeth in her
thumb, which he bit through and
through. Though the pain must neces-
sarily have been great, the child uttered
no cry of distress, but patiently awaited
until the grip of the weasel had been re-
leased by his being ehoked. The animal
was then killed.n

THE GIRL WITH THE CALICO DRESS.
BY R. JossELIN.

A fig for your upper ten girls,
With their velvets and satins and laces,
Their diamonds and rubies and pearl,
And their milliner figures and faces.
They may shine at party or ball.
Emblazoned with half they possess,
But give me in place Of them all,
Ny girl with the calico dress.
She is as plump as partridge and fair
As the rose in its earliest bloom;
Her teeth with the ivory compare,
And her breath with the clover perfume.
Her step is as free and as light
As the fawn's whom the hunters hard press
And her eye is as soft and as bright
My girl with the calico dress.
Your handles and foplings may sheer
At her simple and modest attire,
But the charms she permits to appear
Would set whole iceberg on 1re.
She can dance, but she never allows
The hugging, the squeeze and caress,
She is saving all these for her spouse,
My girl with the calico dress.
She is cheerful, warm hearted and true,
And kind to her father and mother;
She studies how much she can do
For her sweet little sisters. and brother.
Ifyou want a companion for life,
To comfort, enliven and bless,
She is just the right sort for wife. .
My girl with the calico dress.

AMERICAN SHARPSHoOTERss IN THE
RUSSIAN SERvICE.-Although it has
been generally suspected for some weeks
past that American soldiers were enter
ing the Russian service, nothing definite
regarding the matter was learned until
Saturday, when it became known that
number, probably twenty, of Burden IS
corps of sharpshooters sailed for Russia
four weeks ago, to take part in the Eu-
ropean struggle. The Burden sharp
shooters were formed in June, 1861, of
the best riflemen in the:United States,
and furnished with heavy muzzle-load-
ing rifles with telegraph sights attached.
AS an instance OF the ability of the men,
Joe Ketch, the Texan rifleman, the lea
der of the party which has sailed for
Russia, made fifteen consecutive bulls
eyes at 800 yards. Col. Burden is now
in the Russian service, and the negotia-
tions were carried on at first between
him and Ketch. When the Russian fleet
came here Ketch, with several others,
saw the grand dukes on board the fleet
and at their hotel. The arrangements
were satisfactorily made, and the men
left by the Cunard line and are now on
the Danube. The following sharpshoot-
ers, among others, accompanied Ketch !;
Henry Reddy, of New York city, Will
liam Woods, of Boston, Jack Sokine, of
Racine, Wis, Howell. Robinson, of
Pittsburg, Pa, Monny Wilson, of Low
ell, Mass, J. Carter Johnson, of Mon
treal, William Dyer, of Boston, and
John and William Taylor, of Buffalo,
N. Y. William Taylor was captured
before Richmond and sentenced to be
shot. He escaped the night before the
day set down for his execution. All
the expenses of the men to Russia were
handed Ketch on board the Russian
flagship, and he held numerous inter-
views with the Grand Duke Alexis,
both on beard the frigate and the atFifth
Avenue Hotel. The men took their
own rifles with them. St--

Once a careless man went to the cell
lar and stuck the candlein what he sun
posed was key of black sand. He sat
near it drinking wine until the candle
burned low-nearer and nearer, until
the blaze reached the black sand-and
as it was nothing else but black sand.
nothing happened.

When Congress street woman an
swered the door bell yesterday she found
a stranger on the step. He had bun.
die in his hand, smile on his face, and
he said:
Madam, can I sell you some fly. pa

"Does the paper fly ?" she ask ed.
No, ma'am, but it makes the flies
fly"
what do want the flies to fly for?"
she continued.
EVERY fly, madam" he was ex-
planning, whe she called out:
II want you to fly! I can get along
with flies better than with agents ~
but am not on the fly" he softly
protested.
''Our dog u.s." she grimly replied, and
so he was. He. flew around the corner,
the agent flew for the gate, the roll of
fly paper flew over the curb, and news
boy climbed tree box to be out of the
muss and shouted:
'She flew, thou fyest, he flied, and I
believe the dog got a piece of meat with
that coat tail. "-Detroit Free Press.

queer girls over about Ward. One of
them who resides in Steptoe Valley had
been receiving the attentions of young
man for about a year, but becoming inn
patient at his failure to bring matters to
a crisis, she resolved to ascertain his in
tentions. When he next called she took
him gently by the ear, led him to seat,
and said 'Nobby, you've been fool
in around this claim for mighty near a
year, an hev never yit shot off your
mouth on the marrin' biz. I've cotton
ed to yer on the square clean drought
