rc.or;ed to the e~xpedient Of a money
vote to bolster W their influence and
authority.

At a fire In the convent at
Limoges, France, on Nov. 10, 1888,
it was suddenly discovered that
one of the children of the girls
school there had not been rescued.
She was in a distant room, and
doubts were expressed of the abili-
ty to save her. A young lady said:
Il will try," and rushing between
the flames on each side of the en-
trance. She was regarded as lost,
but finally appeared with the child
in her arms. King Louis Philippe
sent her a gold medal, and young
captain in the army, who witnessed
her act, married her. The captain
IS now President of the French
and the lady is Nine.

A Little Rumpus.

In appearance he was a genteel
man, but a look of care had taken
a permanent lease of his features,
and wouldn't vacate foe any con-
sideration. He was walking brisk
ly down Central avenue, with head
down, buried in thought, looking
neither to the right nor left, but
with eyes bent in an absent stare
upon the pavement. Suddenly he
gave start, with a quick cry, and
jumped backward several feet, up
setting a fat woman who was bur-
ryiDg home with several links of
"wiener-wurst," which few out of

neck of shop-girl, hurrying by,

and landed them in the middle of
the street just in time to say "good
morning" to a dog that had sat
down to scratch his ear, which had
parted company with a bootblack's
slipper a moment before. The dog
at once forgot all about his sore
ear, and began to think about
breakfast. AS the fat woman tum-
bled she landed against boy who
had just picked up ten pounds of
ice to take inside. He laid the ice
down on the foot of portly gentle
man, who was so much pleased with
the attention that he gave the boy a
cane-across the back-making at
the same time an impressive little
presentation speech, full of DIS and
dashes. The boy, feeling unworthy
of so much attention, made q dive
to escape it, and upset a glazier,
who mourned over his broken glass,
and swore he would leave the crazy
