Singular Case Of Canine Affection.

A very singular case of canine affec-
ton has occurred in France. Some
time since, a mar named NORM was
killed by accident on a railway, and
since then his widow had lived alone in
q state of melancholy dependency. At
last, shs resolved on putting an end to
her sufferings, and determined to die
by hunger. To prevent her resolution
from giving way at the last moment,
she tied her feet and hands together and
lay down on her bed, where she a
found a week afterward quite dead. In
the same room was an old dog, which
was much attached to her deceased hus-
band, and had appeared fully to share
her grief at his less. The faithful AMI
NAL appeared to have OWNED her inten-
ton. and determined that their fstes
should be the same. for he was found
cured up on the pillow beside his mis-
tress, dead from hunger, although in
the room were found meat and water
for him, both of which were, however,
untouched.

Bismarck at Home.

Another brief sketch of Prince Bis
marck at home appears in tie London
Times, which says: Nothing is more
simple and touching than the respectful
and silent enthusiasm with which his
wife and children surround him. In his
family circle he lets himself be governed
BY their anxious tenderness. When he
leaves the table his wife or son brings
him his long clay pipe and lights it TOR
him. This first pipe smoked, a second,
all ready, is handed to him, and this is
afterward gently taken from him without
O third being brought. The prince
yields to this silent tyranny, which re.
iieves him of a portion of his personal
cares. His son Herbert told me, 4
have put my father to bed, for he too,
you see, ends by being tired He is
treated, indeed, by his family as a demi-
god, and cared for as IN infant. On
hearing him chat with his family n is
struck by the clearness with which he
expresses himself, the grace with which
he Stops to familiarity, and also by the
feeling of irresistible force which he in
spires, so that when once heShas said
anything it becomes a law"

Girl Blown Three.Ouarters of q Mile.

a Will
A correspondent, writing from Col.
umbus, Neb., says: Apeculiar incident
occurred here q few months since, the
particulars of which I have just learned.
It was on the daythe memorable cyclone
passed over Lone Tree and Clark's. The
sky was streaked in the northwest with
vivid flashes of light, and a terrible
rumbling sound made known that a
dreadful storm was imminent. A massive
black cloud was extending a whirling
finger toward the earth and sweeping
with great fury whatever came before 1t.
Jennie-a girl who was working at q
certain hotel here-was busy ut the
stove preparing for the next meal.
Hearing a rattle at the side door, Jennie
went to the door and opened it. AS she
did so she was caught from the door
way by the whirling wind and carried
over the house, turning round and round
in the air as she went; and after ap.
preaching the ground on the other side
she again arose and was taken by the
whirling wind over stores and dwellings,
q distance of three-fourths of q mile, be-
ing lowered 80 that her feet could touch
the ground as many as eight times dur,
ing the trip. Exhausted, but in an erect
position, she was at last lowered to the
earth as lightly as a feather would fall,
having received no material injury,
though almost frantic with fright. The
storm proceeded on its way leaving her IN
sight Of the town, andin half an hour she
again put in an appearance at the hotel,
where anxious friends were bewalllrg
her sudden and mysterious departure.

Yang Yeh lin is a Chinese actor, the
darling OF the tiny-footed daughters OF
the celestial empire. Some years ago
he won the heart Of the daughter of a
Shanghae mandarin and married her,
but he was subjected to inhuman tor
ture when the misalliance was discov-
cred, and was set free only when at al
most the last extremity. A few weeks
ago he revisited the scene Of his former
s%ufferings, and advertised bic willing
ness to accept an engagement to perform
at one of the native theaters. This
coming to the knowledge of the authori.
ties, he was again seized and thrown
into prison. A foreigner, commiserat-
ing his position, managed, by becoming
security, to procure his release, but only
on the understanding that he would
never be permitted to pursue his calling
in Shanghae, and that he should instant
~ depart. H..

The Young Wife,n Curse.

The coroner held an inquest upon the
remains of "Billy" O'Brien, shot by
Officer Jones. y As the officer
stepped down from the stand, where he
had gone to sign his statement, a loud

startled every one from their seats. 1t

The Two Roses.

Two roses once in my garden grew.
The one was brilliant and rich OF hue;
Proud Of her beauty and perfume rare,
She spread her sweets to each passing air:
The other, timid and chaste OF mind,
Shrauk from the kiss OF the tickle wind
Proud in the pride Of her virtue meek,
She relied the blush on her modest check.
Dazed with the glare OF her gaudy bloom,
Drunk with the breath Of her rich perfume,
I tended the one with cesseless care;
Imarked the growth Of each beauty rare,
And dreamed that all on some future day
Would own the power OF her peerless sway.
at length my flower that I loved the best
I sought to take and wear on my breast,
That won from her parent stem to part,
She might rest a while on my loving heart.
But fown Was tho lure Of her witching spell,
AS futtering to earth her petals fell;
Her heart was rotten and dead at the core,
And I knew that my foolish dream wac DER.
I saw how Door was the full-blown blaze
That had charmed my senses and won my
praise
And I thought at last Of the timid flower
Which had pinned unheeded for cooling shower;
But drought unslsked had her ife-sl ring
dried,
So, fading and faded. che dropped and died.
I saw too, now, with awakening eyes,
How near I had been to my longed-for plize
One-half of the care 1 had spent in vain
Care that had brought me but grief and rain
II spent on the rose that had pined away,
Would have reared a flower 30 chastely gay
That the joy of its countless charms untold
Ny care had repaid a ~thousandfold.
All q! now oft in the toll and strife,
Tho chances and changes, which we call life,
By. slight and neglect in time Of need
We kill the flower, and we rear the weed
Then when We see it, and know too late,
We blame not ourselves, but curse our fate,
For no solace have we on which to lean,
When we know what We long for might have
