4 Narrow Escape.

Both the Czar and his uncle, the Elm peror of Germany, have twice narrowly escaped being shot but the deadliest and most nearly successful attempt upon the life of the former was of 8 more in- siduous kind, and is still known to only very few persons, even Tn Russia. There is in the Winter Palace at St. Pe- tersburg small " elevator" consisting of an easy-chair fixed upon stand, originally constructed for the Czar Nicholas, who was wont to mount in this fashion to his cabinet on the third floor of the palace. On one occasion, after state dinner, the present Czar, instead of taking his seat in the chair as usual, offered the place to lady of rank who had been friend of his mother. The Countess, fattered by the compliment, took her seat at once; but she had not risen many feet when the chain snapped, and down came the chair with terrific crash, finging out it's occupant upon the floor with broken limb and other seri ous injuries. The dismay of the con- pany was extreme, and all were loud in expressing their thankfulness that the Czar himself had so narrowly escaped catastrophe which, however, no one looked upon in any other light than that of very unfortunate accident. But one of the imperial pages, shrewd young fellow, who lad himself witnessed the catastrophe, had his own thoughts about this '" accident" and took the earliest opportunity of inspecting the broken chain, when he at once perceived that it had been sawn half through, close to the staple. The announcement of this discovery fell like thunderbolt upon the assembled grandees, and not mo- ment was lost in calling up the palace servants for examination, when it was found that foreign lackey, who had en- tered the service some months before, and who had up to that time borne an excellent character, had unaccountably disappeared. The affair, however, was hushed up, and to this day many per- sons who are acquainted with the story, consider the whole occurrence either i'm aginary or purely accidental.

Treatment for Burns.


 Dr. Waters of Boston, author of the alkaline treatment for burns, recently said in an essay read before medical society: Apply to the burned surface bicarbonate of soda, if it is wet sur face, in fine powder but if it is dry burn, use paste of bicarbonate of soda and water, or strong solution of the bicarbonate of soda in water, and apply to the burned surface. This relieves sunburns as we'll as burns from hot coals, melted sulphur, hot iron and steam. AL ways dispose the burned surface so that the blood can gravitate toward the heart if possible, as otherwise continuous pain may be felt, due to the dilatation of the blood vessels from the weight of the contained blood."f ,,ats.t, e;a.1.', s.f

stirred themselves, and in half an hou-
 full squadron of mounted volunteers
 was drawn up in front of the colonel's quarters.
 Reviewing them through window, he saw the company was composed ot farmers boys, dressed rough and hap hazard, but good horsemen, and fairly mounted; and about every other animal was followed by sucking colt.
 This was undignifed and decidedly unmilitary. The colonel said it wouldn't do. His indefatigable staff cleared the parade, and hived the colts in vacant lot hard by. Pleased with the alacrity with which his commands had been obeyed, the colonel emerged like the sun from behind 8 cloud, mounted his i'm patient war steed, and "parted like a thunder bolt" followed by his chatter ing troop.
 His appearance on the field was a stunning success, while the manoeuvres and grand review which followed, we may safely assert, were never surpassed by anything in that line before or since. After about four hours steady marching and drilling, the regiment was formed in hollow square, facing inward, and in- closing the colonel, staff, and escort Commanding Attention, regiment '" in a voice worthy of the occasion, the colonel took off his hat, wiped his dusty brow, and began speech which he had conned over for month beforehand.
 "Fellow-soldiers P said he-then hemmed and hawed and perspired in an agony of impotence. He could't re- member what came next. ''Attention, fellow-soldiers !' and he smote his empty forehead in vain. At that moment 8 sound of rushing feet and whirlwind of dust swept across the field, moving directly on the colonel's position. His military instinct was alert and equal to the emergency, and he shouted, in trumpet tones, 'Right about face Prepare to receive cavalry! Charge bagnets P But the feeble ranks broke and scattered like chaff before the rush of the Light Brigade. The colts had got loose, and their arrival raised such storm of whinnying, screaming, and horse laughter that the colonel was obliged to dismiss the escort for refresh ment.
 Recovering his equanimity, he then turned to the regiment. Soldiers, I was going to make you speech, but with all this noise and foolishness I lost it out of my head. All I've got to say now is-up in that big booth are two barrels of whisky for you to drink your colonels health. About face The enemy is before you Charge P Never was an order executed with greater alacrity. The booth was carried gal lantly, and the slaughter immense.

A Divided Family.

Five ragged, unkempt and weeping children were left orphans the other day by the death of their mother, widow who lived on Prospect street.. The father was killed at one of the depots about two years ago, and since then the mother had kept the family together by hard days work. Lack of food, expo- sure and worry brought on an illness which terminated fatally, and the child ren huddled together in corner of the room feeling awed and frightened, but yet unable to realize that death had made them waifs. When the remains had been sent away to Potter's field, 8 dozen women gathered and held whis- pered consultation.
 "I'll take one Of the poor things, though I've four children of my own,:' said one of the women.
 "And I'll take another"
 ''And I'll take one.'
 "And so will IT,
 Then there was the baby-a toddling boy, who had been rocked to sleep every night of his life, and whose big blue eyes were full of tears as he shrank be- hind his sister to escape observation.
 "I could take him." said one of the women, but I'm quick tempered, and the Lord will never forgive the woman who strikes dead mothers child"
 ''I could take him, but am old and will soon die," said another. s'When he had learned to love me, and I had come to look upon him as a son, death would separate us"
 A little girl not over ten years old, dressed little better than the other children there, crept into the group and heard what was said. While the women were looking into each others faces in silence the child reached out for the babe, patted his white head, kissed him, and said:
 "I will take this one. I have no brother, and ma and pa will let me keep him. He can sleep in my trundle bed, play with my doll, and they may put all the Christmas presents into his stock ings."
 The women protested, even as they went, and the girl ran round the corner and returned with her mother, who sanc- tioned all she had said.
 "Come, bubby-you're mine now r called the girl, and he laughed as she put her arms around him and tried to lift him up.
 By-and-by woman said:
 s'Children, you have now neither father, mother nor home. You must be divided up or go to the poor house. Kiss each other, poor orphans, and all kiss the baby P
 They put their arms around him, and hugged and kissed h1m, and they went out from the old house to go in different directions, and perhaps never again to meet all together.
 " Goodbye, Johnnie p each one gasped as they turned for last look at baby, and the little girl called to each one in turn:
 "Don't feel bad I'll give h1m lots to eat, learn him his prayers, and when he's big man he'll buy you all back r

Another Senatorial Wedding.

A Cleveland, Ohio, letter says :-The gossips have hardly ceased talking of the great Cameron Sherman wedding when another Senator comes here to be united to lady of Clevel and. For some time past it has been noticed that Senator B. K. Bruce, (colored) of Mis- sissipi, has made quite frequent visits to the city. He came, and putting up at the Forest City Hotel, spent his time, 50 far as could be judged, in leisure and in pleasant dr1ves around the city. It was known that he owned some real estate here, and that he was intimate with 8 highly respectable colored family by the name of Vosburg, to daughter of which ne was once engaged. After her death, about three years ago, it was claimed that his heart was nearly broken, and that he had given up all ideas of matri- mony in the future. But still the visits to the city continued, and the gossips would not be quiet. Finally it was mo- tlced that the Senator stopped more often at the pleasant house of Dr. Wilson, on Perry street, than business would natu- rally require, and the rumor began to circulate that he was paying his atten- tlons to Miss Josephine B. Wilson, the oldest daughter of the Doctor, and at length the story started that they were engaged. MT. Vosburg, the father of the former afianced of the Senator and his business manager here, was inter- viewed and denied the story, thus quiet ing the gossip for time, but now it is all out. The story was correct, and they had quiet marriage. Senator B. R. Bruce, the bridegroom, was born in Vir ginia in 1841. He received limited education, but was endowed with large degree of business ability. He removed to Mississippi in 1876 and became planter. He was elected to the Senate in 1875. Miss Josephine B. Wilson. the bride, is just "A years old. She is graduate of the Cleveland High School, Class of '72, and has been for a consider able time teacher in the public schools She is quite beautiful, and it requires much more than usual attention to mo- tice that she has any African blood in her veins. She appears to be common brunette, but close scrutiny will reveal her origin in her peculiar lips and hair. She has pursued her studies since grad uation to sucL advantage that she is said to be we'll acquainted with general lit erature and 8 fine linguist. Her broth CT, L. A. Wilson, Esq, is a well-known lawyer of this city. The ceremony took place at the residence of the brides father. No prominent guests were pres ent. The bride has received two fine presents, one fine diamond ring from the Senator, the other beautiful and costly gold watch and chain, with fine medallion locket from some unknown Washington party. After the wedding the couple left for New York, where they took passage for Europe. They expect to remain on the Continent for four months.

General Training Day.
PORTE oRAYoN IN HARPERs.


 Under the old militia laws all able. bodied citizens between the ages of eighteen and forty-fve were liable to military duty, to be organized and drilled after the system of the Baron Steuben, adopted by act of Congress, 1792, for the regnlar army and militia. This was suspended in 1921 by the "General hegulations, compiled by Major General Scott Company officers were elected by the enrolled privates of their respective districts, regimental officers Dy the company officers, and general officers by the General Assembly of the Commonwealth.
 Preparatory and for three days immedi- ately preceding the general muster. the officers of all arms were assembled and drilled together as light infantry con- pany, commanded by their field-oficers. They were instructed in the manual of arms, company tactics, regimental maneuvres, and wound up by a ceremonious rehearsal of the part they were to play in the, grand review next day. v&& .
 How we school-boys leaped at the first tap of the reveille, eager for the realiza- tion of our golden dreams How hope- fully, we scanned the eastern horizon for assurance of clear day! With what mlserly delight we counted over our stock of coppers, boarded for the occasion, and calculated their equivalent Tn cakes. beer, and sticks of taffy How doubtfully we considered the worn effipv or "Georgius Rex" on a coin we had found in dirt pile, and wondered if we could pass it on old Murquhart for & gunger Then how we watched the dusty roads as the wild mountaineers came dropping in to swell the buzzinp swarms, already gathered around the taverns, groceries, and street corners And with what sublime emotion we mingled with the crowd, saw the plumed heroes hurrying to and fro, as with ceaseless -dub-dubbing, sound of bugles, waving of banners, flashing of swords. with "the thunder Of the cap tains and the shouting," this incoherent and refractory mob was at length marshaiied into some semblance of a line of battle Then the march afield with it's exciting accidents and incidents several hours of tactical manoeuvres such as we might imagine Sitting Bull and staff would execute with a berd ,f bufaloes. Then the return of the dusty thirsty veterans of the days campaign and the final resolution of martial organization into storm of drunken anarchy and fsticuff fights. For besides the prescribed military duties, it was well understood that general muster day, being reekoned among the dies no,a in civil law, afforded the people con- venlent- opportunity for settling all the standing accounts, ,jealousies, r1valries, quarrels, horse trades, and swindles of the current year, after their own fashion i: and the solution of these difficulties by whiakey and judicial combat was con sidered quite as satisfactory as 8 resort to lawyers, and far more economical For all Pin all, it was day worthy of six months eager anticipation and six monthR of pleasant remembrance.

That day had at length dawn ed, and promised brilliant realization of our hero's long-cherished wishes. But, as usual, one thing was wanting. It was cavalry escort.

ENTERTAINMENT FOR THE BENEFIT OF THE
