\ Young LADY BADLY BURNED. Miss
krug, aged sixteen, daughter of Mr..
Fred. Krug, the brewer, met with q
terrible accident last evening, which
came very nearly resulting fatally, had
it not been for most timely assistance.
She was engaged in her room in washing
her hair with alcohol; she was leaning
forward, with her long hair thrown over
her head and hanging down IN front Of
her, and while IN this position she came
in too close contact with amp in the
hands of girl, and the alcohol instantly
became ignited and blazed up. Hiss
hrug threw the Burning hair over her
head, SO that it hung down her neck
and back. Her hands, face and neck
were III moment very badly burned,
and her clothes also took fire, thus en-
dangering her life.
Her ngonizing screams immediately
brought to her assistance her father and
mother, who threw blankets around her,
and soon smOthered the flames. DR..
Peabody was at once summoned, and he
attended TO her suferings as much as
possible. The injuries are not danger.
Gus, although severe and very painful.
The burns viii probably mark the victim
to some extent. She certainly had a
very narrow escape from death.

A VALUABLE ANTIQUE INsCRIP.
TION.

In the Hippodrome at Constantinople
may still be seen the remains of ven
cradle trophy of the Persian war, the
bronze serpent which, with the gold
tripod it supported, was dedicated to the
Delphian Apollo by the allied Greeks
after the victory at Platsea as tenth of
the Persian spoil. On the bronze ser
pent which served as base for the tri-
pod the Laced@monians inscribed the
names of the Hellenic States which took
a part in repellng the barbaric invader.
The golden tripod persisted long ago in
the sacrilegious plumber of Delphi by
the Phocians, but the bronze serpent
remained IL its original until removed
by Constantine the Great to decorate.
with other spoils of Hellas, his new seat
of empire at Byzantium. Here it has
remained in the Hippodrome till our
the three heads of the serpent has long
since disappeared, but the list of Greek
States inscribed on the intertwined folds
of the body remains perfectly legible to
this day, having been fortunately pre-
served from injury by the accumulation
CT soil in the Hippodrome. This earth
concealed about two thirds of the SER
pent till the excavation made in the
Hippodrome in 1866, when the inscrip-
ton was first brought to light. As the
date of the battle OF Plataa was i. G.
479, it may be assumed that the setting
up of the tripod took place shortly after
ward. Thus the inscription would not
be later than B. C. 476. OF hardly in
ferior interest is the bronze helmet found
at Olympia early in this century, which,
as its inscription tells us, was part of a
trophy dedicated by Hero T., of SYRIA
cuse, after his great naval victory over
the Tyrrhenians, B. G. 474 If Olympia
continues to yield results as promising
as the discoveries which have distin
guished the first months of this enter
prise, We may hope that many similar
records of Hellenic triumphs may be
found in the rich soil Of the Altis.

A FESTIVE COWBOY.
from the Kansas City Journal

from the Kansas City Journal.l
Yesterday afternoon there came in on
the Kansas Pacific train a festive ap-
pearing cowboy. His face was smooth
and features quite the reverse of mascu-
line. His complexion was fair and eyes
were blue. But for his shape and the
fair neck which was exposed by the open
collar of the red wooden shirt he wore,
he would have beer taken for an over
grown youth, whose voice was Just
changing, and passed for sure enough
boy. He wasn't boy, however, but
well-proportioned woman of twenty-five
summers, who wore the inevitable high
heeled boots characteristic of the COW
boy. Her tightly fitting pants were
stuffed in the boot tops, and an old and
much-worn white felt hat, pulled far
down on the head, hid in part the straight
light brown hair, which had been cut
short to deceive.
This woman is native of Nebraska,
having been raised in the vicinity of
Omaha. Three years ago she was court
ed by Young man, who won her atfec-
tions, and who had promised to marry
her. The day for the nuptials had been
set and every preparation made for the
happy event. A day or two before the
marriage was to have taken place the
young man very suddenly and myster-
iously disappeared, no one knew how or
when. A few months after he had so
cruelty deserted her she learned from
an acquaintance of his that be had gone
down toward Texas, on the cattle range,
where he was herding stock. Learning
this much about him, she started out to
find him, not that she desired 10 become
his bride, as her love had turned to hate,
but she desired to confront hin, tell him
of his infamy, and then return to her
home. With this view she adopted the
costume of a man, or, in other words,
donned pantaloons, and started on his
trail. Through the wild country she
passed, often hearing of but never seeing
him. For months and months she has
stood upon the praries, heading cattle,
watching and waiting for him. Latter
" she has been at work near Clay Centre
in the capacity of a COW boy, riding
horseback as reckless and fast as any of
the boys. She has sat by the camp fires
with them and heard recounted the wild
scenes in the life of the COW boy and
never once was suspected of being a
woman. s few weeks ago she came up
with her falthiess lover in the vicinity
OF Clay Centre. Under some pretext
she induced him to ride with her away
from the others who were liearding. and
when out Of sight and out Of hearing Of
all others, she drew her revolver and
made herself known TO him. What she
did she refused 10 tell more than this.
She renla-ked ':I'u bet he won't tride
with another iris affections. I am
satisfied and am g. home" She left

New TRIBE OF INDIANS DISCOVERED.
A new tribe Of aboriginal Indians has
been discovered near the head waters of
the BRACES, who have been so quiet that
even their existence has heretofore been
unknown TO the government or any of
the whites. They have never asked for
ponies or blankets. Their tribe is called
the Plato and they number about
500. They have been living with the
Conanches, and have behaved like little
men. Very recently, however, they
have notified CO.. Hatch that they desire
TO go to Wesealaro Agency, at Fort
Stanton. They represented that they
are very poor, and that If they are trans
ferred it viii be necessary to furnish
them two or three weeks rations of beef
aad q military escort. They are to be
transferred and fed.

A TALE OF THE SEA.
IFrnm the New York World

[From the New York WorldJ
The Sailors Home, in Cherry street,
was filled last night with rescued seamen
from numbers of crafts abandoned at
sea, and all have a sad story to relate of
their hardships. Perhaps one case that
the crew of the schooner Scotia, which
were picked up by the steamer Anchoria,
Capt. r.. D. Monroe, from Giasg gov, on
the 31st of December. From the report
of the Captain it appears the Scotia sail
ed from st. johns, n. f., on the 10th
of December, for Catalina, distance
sixty-three miles, with a cargo of lumber
and shingles, but had proceeded but a
short distance on her course when she
encountered a terrific gale, which split
her sails to such an extent as to render
her unmanageable, and in that condition
she drifted at the mercy Of the storm
three hundred miles out of her course
When Captain Monroe discovered her
she was in latitude 44.42 longitude
52.13, and had been fifteen days out.
The crew of the schooner consisted Of
the captain and five men, who were in a
pitiable condition. Some We're so badly
frozen as to be almost helpless, but their
greatest suffering seemed to be for fresh
water. They had taken only taken two
days supply, and this becoming exhaust
ed, they were forced to scrape the ice
from the rigging and melt it, which af-
forded wine glass full per man day.
The shingles furnished fuel, and, having
some fresh beef on board, they boiled it
in SAL water, which enabled them to
satisfy hunger, but this only added to
their almost intolerabIe thirst. When
rescued, the schooner was fast sinking,
and the sea making a clean breach over
her, which threatened to enguif her ut
every moment. The men were with
much difficulty transferred to the steam
er, and every attention paid them by
the kind-hearted captain who landed
them at this port yesterday.

TRAINING CANARIEs. gentleman
residing at PhonixYille, says the Read
ing Eagle, of Queensland, Australia, has
several very fine canary birds to which
he has given much attention. One of
the birds he has taught to sing ssHome.
Sweet Home clearly and distinctly.
His mode of instruction IS as follows !:
He placed the canary in a room where it
could not hear the singing OF other birds.
and suspended its cage from the ceiling
50 that the bird could see its reflection
in mirror. Beneath the glass lie placed
musical box that was regulated 10 play
no other iule but 's1orne, Sweet Home. .
Hearing no sound but this, and heliev-
ing the music proceeded from the bird
be saw in the mirror, the young canary
soon began to catch the notes, and finally
accomplished what its owner had bsen
laboring to attain, that of singing the
song perfectly. This is an experiment
easily tried, and one We should be glad
TO know the result of from some of our
own bird fanciers if they make the ex-
pos;ment.

BRIGHAM'S WIDOWS,

A telegram from U tab informs us that
a lew mornings since Brigham Youug's
thirty-seyen widows, by an unfortunate
coincidence, lett their respective homes
at the same hour to visit the cemetery
and drop IL few tears over the grave OF
their late husband. AS they neared the
'silent city of the deal" strangers mis-
took the single ii procession for the
pupils OF female seminary out on
parade. The grief-stricKen widows
crowded around The newly made grave,
each claiming as good right as the
other to have the first weep, and pretty
soon the silent air was filed with !emale
voices pitched in ID terribly high key, anu
what should have been very solemn
scene eliminated in decidedly jaw-us
performance. The sexton visited the
scene OF The unpleasantnesss an hour
later, and picked up two bushels OF false
nair. Sometimes the telegraph lies, but
this story sounds plausible enough,
