A Pathetic Tragedy.

One OF those pathetic tragedies tha
touch the human mind deeper than th
most vivid pictures drawn by the pens Of
skillful noyelists, culminRted in Ohio.
About fifteen years ago there appeared
ut Shaker settlement, in that State, n
young mother with an infant daughter in
her arms. Tie mother Ind been de.
serted by one Of those cold bloodCd vii.
lains who throw aside n woman's price
less love as the plaything Of n day. The
Shakers adopted the mother and child.
The mother and daughter passed an I'M.
eventful life in their quiet Quaker hOre c
until few months ago, when the daugh.
ter, budding into womanhoOl, developed
u buoyAncy Of spirits that disturbed the
calm Shakers, and caused spirit Of un-
easiness III the circles. This feeling
grew, aud the young Shakcress evinced
n determination to shun the society OF
the cider members, and seek the CON-
pany OF younger and more agreeable COM
panious. The elders informed the
mother that she must send her daughter
into the world. This the mother re-
fused to do. They were then turned
adrift, with n few dollars Ill their pock-
els. After vainly looking for situations
where they could live together, mother
and daughter engaged room in hotel,
where they pNrtook Of deadly drug,
and both perislcd.

A Singular Whiin.

Miss Emma Mayo, Of Elizabeth, Nj,
llAs had n handsome collin made i'll Il
peculiar shape and style for her own
occupancy, enthusiastically comes to the
undertnkcr's and almircs it. 1t is Of
iron, is grained to represent oak, is six
feet in length by twenty.four inches in
width, aud in shape resembles WOOL
choppers wedge, although designed to
appear in tho shape of n keystone. The
lid bears raisel cross extending from
tho head to tho lower extremity. The
interior is lined with tho finest pearl col
ored satin, and there is pillow Of the
same material resting Immediately be-
meath the head Of the cross.
Miss Mayo says that she intends to re-
tain it until hor death, and requests that
her body be laid in it beside that Of her
father, in st. Johns Episcopal church
yard in Elizabeth. She is thirty years
OF ngc, is anlinble and rich, and deyotes
much Of her time to deeds Of charity.
Her father, Edwin Mayo, owned large
property in Richmond, which is still held
by the family. Her aunt is the wife ol
General Scott. Edward Mayo wat
buried in mummy casket, which con
formed rs nearly as possible 10 the shape
Of the human form. This probably sug'
gested Miss Mayo's whim.

wrote to Rev. Father Soethen for the
vacant position Of orgnuist ut the Church
Of the Holy Cross. Father NOetllen re-
pliod, md the result of the correspond

commencement OF tho present week.
Through the kindly Offices Of the priest
ritlner was installed in private family
near the park, whittier he moved his
luggage. A rehearsal was arranged for
at the church few evenings thereafter,
when TidnGr was to make his debut US
organist. The evening came, the choir
assembled, and everything was in rCadi-
ness when the new Orgauist arrived. He
was given a written score Of tho music
to be rclearsetl, and refused it, saying
lie read nothing but printed music. The
printed score was produced, but, Ns it
transpiretl, he was rs ignorant OF it as
the other. Finding himself exposed, he
sprang up, left the choir and church,
and disappeared. Tidner's motive in
soliciting and obtaining the position OF
organist when, as it would seem, he
knew nothing Of music has not trans-

Dead Soldiers Ring.

A touching incident has occurred in
connection with tho death Of Lieuten.
ant Reilly, who fell with General Gus
ter in TINT terrible fight on the
Little Big Horn, last year. At the
time OF the battle lie wore a seal ring
with his crest out upon it, and this, to-
gether with lis clothing, Ills sword, Ills
pistols, md all his belongings, WAS torn
from his dead body and carried away by
somo one Of the foo who had helped to
kill him. His mother, unable to secure
his remains, and longing for something
TINT had boon with him to the last, tried
in every way to recover it; she offered
immense rewards; she had ,fac.si,aitcS
Of the die made and sent to the different
agencies along the frontier, and she
wrote to all tho commanding officers in
tho Sioux country, describing 1t, and at
last she received official notice from the
War department that the ring had been
found. II was taken from the finger Of
one Of the !, 800 oheyennes who came In

Turks cannot be amalgamated with my
nation not protesting their own religion.
The Dulgarians and the Hungarians
were originally peoples Just rs distinct,
but have shown themselves capable Of

speaking the lecturer did not refer to the
Turks WHO speak French md dress in
the latest fashion, but to the mass. The
Turkish women are illiteratc, and have
no home circle. Turkey must not be
judged by what is seen in c Constantinople.
There, before the foreign ambassadors
and ministers, they do not show their
hnnd. The country is the place in which
to Judge Of Turkish rule, and there the
Christian bows down in terror. The
bankers and merchants and productive
population Of Turkey III Europe are
Christians. Christians till tho ground
and Turks collect the profit. Forall op-

dress. Occasionally the magistrate
deigns to say in explanation. Of some
cnornity greater than usual TINT it was

noted for their work. In regard to

4 Scheme that Won't Work.

Tho Burlingtyn HaVkcyc, speaking
OF the scheme OF shooting ramrO.ls with
string attachments into tho windows OF
burning hotels, observes: This is III
deed grand idea. The only drawback
to its practical operation is that terri
fed guest standing to n window, Shriek-
ing and llowling for help, would have
been very much surprised, and not great

himself suddenly transiixed with three

unless the fire department is vastly bet.

probability is that not IL window in the

road n few miles beyond Cnstrovillc, two
men rode mp to him from the brush by
the roadside. aud demanded his money.
Both hal their faces masked, but did

told him TO hold, that they didn't think
it necessary to draw on him, rs hc was so
young. He Ind $40 in his pocket, and a
considerable SUN in his boots. The lust
mentioned the robbers failed to find, but
took the $40. They then invited the
young man to step, into the brush and
lunch with them, which he, thinking 1t
safest to humor them, did, although. his
appetite was none Of the most raycnous.
About 100 yards from tho road the men
hail a good lunch spread, which they be-
took Of heartily, keeping their faces
masked, however. After the lunch the
robbers returned 81 to their victim aud
told him ho could SO. He didn't waa

other parts, that the sncezer is "catch-

il the use OF n sneeze? II throws open
the pores of the whole body, aud in

sneezes more than Misrepresentation is
readily induced in youth; an old man, on
the contrary, sncezes half dozen to n
dozen times with loud "catchogue. "
It is harder to set him perspiring. When
one is sitting by m open window, and
finds himself sneezing, nature tells him
he is taking cold. He should get up in.
stantly, walk about, and take full tum..

bank, toward which its head WIS pointed.
A few moments after, hearing great out
cry from frog, he looked again toward
tho spot, and saw what appeared to he the
same pickerel, with his whole length out
of tho water on tho bank, and frog in
his mouth. The frog screamed out lust

water with its prize, Of which 1t probably
made luscious meal. The observer sup.

two OF these are calves brought in from

them to tho river for water every day,

The buffilloes, from natural instinct arc
