The other evening o boy about
eight years old, who had become
bewildered down town, and whose
ear had been nipped by the frost,
was taken to the Central Station to
get thawed out and cheered up.
The man in charge talked to hipa in
a fatherly way, put liniment on his
ear, and the boy seemed to be full of
grit. After time, however, the big
tears were observed rolling down
his cheek, and the captain said {:
A'Why, bub, I wouldn't feel bad. It
isn't much Of frost bite" "But it
shows, don't it? tremblingly asked
the lad. "Why, yes, little bit, but
1 wouldn't care for that" "Maybe
you w-wouldn't!" gasped the boy,
!'but you h-hain't engaged TOTO
be married as I am, and that makes
b-big difference !"--Detroit Tree

FIGHTING WHALE.-A corre-
spondent Of the Raleigh Observer,
writing from Moorehead City, coast
of North Carolina, says: On Tues
day there was the most exciting and
dangerous whale fight that has ever
occurred on this coast. It was with
some difficulty that the captain of
the crew could get his men to obey
orders. When the first bomb was
fred into the whale it failed to ex-
plode. This made the whale furi-
Gus, when at this instant he struck
one of the boats and knocked it
some feet above the water. The
captain then fired another bomb :;
this failed of explosion the fight
was still getting more furious. The
third bomb was fred and exploded
near the heart. This conquered the
monster. The blood spouted some
ten feet high, and as the crew
rushed up to stick their lances in
him, the blood fell in showers upon
them and their boats. The fight
was Witnessed by another crew
stationed about seven miles above
them. They looked on with delight,
only wishing they could get into
such bloody contest. The whale
was forty-two feet long and ex-
tremely fat. This fish will proba-
bly, bring about 5000.

A movement is on foot in Chicago
to do away entirely with the present
system of using gas to illuminate
the streets and substitute in it's
stead q dozen electric lights at diff
ferent points, with which, it is
claimed, the entire town could be
made almost as light rs day, and at
much less expense than the present
costly gaslight system. A similar
proposition is under consideration
by the Pittsburg, Pa, council for
lighting that city.

TOTAL ABSTINENCE SAVING WINE TILL IT
RIPENS.

There Is curious story about some native
wines which are extensively advertised nova
days. and have only recently been put upon
the market. DR.. Underhill, the well-known
grape-grower Of Croton Point. died in 1871.
Some OF his heirs entertained temperance
views of such extreme kind, that they were
unwilling to allow the stock of wines then on
hand to be sold or any more to pc made.
The grapes have sometimes been sent to
market, and sometimes left to decay upon
the vines. 1t is only now that the other heirs
have succeeded in arranging for a settlement
of the estate and the sale of the wines on
hand. Among these is n wine of the vintage
OF 1864, described as a Sweet Unio Port,
but suggesting the Imperial Tokay more
than any other European wine. and being
wholly unlike any other wine Of American
growth. It's purity. age and mellowness ara
fanciers have special interest in att it as s' the
Oldest native wine now accessible in any con-
siderable quantity. The whole stock is in the
hands Of the weil-known wholesale grocery
house Of the Thurbers.-M. Y. 7j76uue,

How they fade on vague memory's sight

And all Nature grows cold, like my heart in its

some legal limits to the wholesale

medicines. 1t was proposed that

honest qnachery npon vulgar SUI

position of their wares, anil pre-
vented from publishing mischievous
and mendacious advertisements
concerning them. Among the ex-
amples cited, inclueaeng sundry
chair restorers." which, in direct
contradiction TO their advertised
pretensions, contain poisonous
quantities of lead, the most glaring
one is largely certificated "Snre
Cure for the Opium Habit" which
is found on analyst to give two
grains of morphine to the dose,

that American apothecaries. most
of whom derive the larger part of
their income from the sale of these
secret nostrums, will join in the

The Smoke Nuisance.

The Journal of Chemistry says :- What is smoke It is made up of mi mute particles of unburned carbon; it is fuel thrown away. The torrents of black vapor from our chimneys and smokepipes contain thousands of tons of coal lost because we have not learned how to save 1t. The time will come when this will be reckoned as foolish as we should now consider it to shovel coal into the sea, as we used to dispose of the refuse from gas works, which has become the source of so many useful and valuable products. The chemical lecturer of the next century will tell his audience how long it was before the world learned to burn fuel without blow ing good part of it into the air. He will grow facetious as he describes the appearance of great cities perpetually covered with pail of vaporous black ness. "Why, in that dark ago." he will add, "their railway engines used to drag long streamers of dirty smoke be- hind them, and one could not ride in the cars without having his eyes and nostrils and throat filled with cinders and dust and, incredible as it may seem, this was tolerated for many years, the introduction of smokeless locomo- tives being one of the last improve ments introduced into our railway sys- tenn" And his hearers will say to them selves, "What terrible ordeal a long railway ride must have been in those old times"
