The American "AristOcracy."

Blackwood's Magazine has the follow ing In all the larger cities of the Uni ted States there is class which openly calls itself-and is openly called by others-the aristocracy; and the more modern members of it are endeavoring, as much as possible, to adopt the man. ners and customs of aristocracies in other countries, to contract matrimonial alli- ances with them, and to bow down before them. They put their servants into livery and emblazon the panels of their csrri- ages with heraldic devices, in which coronets and other insignia of nobility, and even of royalty, are visible.
 Some have purchased property abroad and call themselves by it's well-sounding foreign name others have adopted the names of noble families, and some have even gone so far as to assume foreign titles, which they use when abroad, and with the crests and armorial bearings of which even at home they stamp their note paper and decorate their dinner menus. The demand has become so ex- tended in this direction that two heralds offices have actually been opened in g fashionable part of New York to meet it. where coats-of-arms, crests and mottoes may be obtained to suit the name, taste rank and pedigree of the purchaser.

But to drag on board the wretched bird, with the hook transfxed into its stomach, throat or bill, simply to see the fun Of it's huttering, and then let 1t go with the hook still in it, is abomihable cruelty.

A French Miracle.

Father Bridaine was always poor, for the reason that he gave away everything that he had. One evening he asked for nights lodging of the curate of the village through which he passed, and the worthy man, having only one bed, shared it with him. At daybreak he rose, according to his custom, and went to say his prayers at the neighboring church. Returning from his sacred duty, he met beggar, who asked aims. "Alas, my friend, I have nothing P said the good priest, mechanically putting his hand into his brooches pocket, where, to his astonishment, he found something hard, wrapped up in a paper, which he knew he had not left there. He hastily opened the paper, and seeing four half crowns in it, cried out that it was mira cle. The curate soon after arrived there and Father Bridaine related the miracle with the greatest unction; the curate turned pale, put his hand in his pocket, and in an instant perceived that Father Bridaine, in getting up in the dark, ha6 taken the wrong pair of brooches. He had performed the miracle with the GU rates crowns.

Some Aboriginal Customs.

Nowhere, perhaps, do the young peo- pie begin to think of marriage at an earlier age than in Abyssinia. Parkyns states that he has seen brides of eight or nine years old, and boys at proportion ately youthful stage are considered mar riageable. Proposals are made to the girls father, and during the period of betrothaI, the young man is never al- lowed to see his intended wife even for a moment. Another curious custom prevails and one that would be accepta- ble in this country. If young man, for instance, wishes to be adopted as the son of one of superior wealth or station, he takes the latter's hand, and, sucking one of his fingers, declares himself his child by adoption, whereupon the new parent, although he should hold finan- cial position analogous to Rothschild's, would be bound to assist him to the ut. most of his ability.

Sad Story of City Life.

Recently, in a court of justice in New York city, the child of woman accused of stealing shawl died in her arms. This sad episode stopped legal pro- ceedings in that case, and Divine charity and mercy took the place of human law and justice. The case was dismissed ; the prisoners were taken out of court and immediately placed under medical treatment-all of them. The husband of the woman told where they lived and where there were four more starving little children. The police hunted them up. There they were in room almost destitute of furniture-no bed but an old straw mattress, no stove, anl not Q scrap of anything to eat. The children were taken out of the desolate den and the whole family properly cared fer. They are now in better condition, doubt less, than they ever were before. Whether or not they stole shawl IS a
 matter of no consequence now. The case has been plotted from the record. Mercy has indeed seasoned justice.

DRHTHER1A.-A physician at Thorn combe, in Dorsetshire, England, was re- gently called to attend some malignant cases of diphtheria which had broken out on large dairy farm. He began by using the usual caustics and astring gent preparations of iron but one morning, after two cases out of nine had proved already fatal from choking, the mother handed him an extract from an American paper telling of the use of sulphur as the most potent remedy to resist the fungoid growth. He immediately gave his patients liquid preparation Of sul- phur and glycerine, directing them to take several spoonfuls day and apply Q little to the nostrils with a sponge. The remedy proved eficacious, and the doctor says he has never since then lost a case in which he has employed it.

ENGLISH MATCH MAKING.-.The great est of matchmaking mammas on record in England was the last Duchess of Gordon. In an eligible. .eldest-son hunt her Grace stuck at nothing. She, her self, related how, when the eldest son of the Marquis Cornwallis fell in love with her daughter, she found that Lord Cornwallis objected on the score of there being lunacy in the Gordon family. Whereupon she went to him and said "I know why you disapprove of your sons marriage with my daughter. But just let me tell you something. There is not drop of Gordon blood in Louisa's body" This was not true j; but Lord Cornwallis believed it. Lord Bolingbroke said he never knew a man of real ambition-one who would sacri- fee everything for it-but here was 8 woman ready to sacrifice fair fame for it. The marriage took place.

LITTLE CHARLEY ROSS.
WHAT THE HALF-BREED vANDERPooL cLAIMED--A wELL-LAID sCHEME--sTATE- MENTs CONCERNING THE GUARDIANS OF THE BOY "CHARLIE.

A gentleman has received letter from Towanda, Pa., giving some details of the new story tegarding the finding of Charlie Ross. It seems that there is tribe or community" living within nine miles of Towanda composed of mixture of half-breeds, negroes and whites, who have lived there nearly @ century, and they are kpAwn as the Pool family, and the locality where they re- side is known as Pool Hill. Many years ago half-breed settled there and mar ried squaw. His name was Wander pool, and from that couple sprung the tribe referred to. About five hundred persons compose the tribe, and they live by themselves. One of them goes by the name of Nelson Vanderpool, who is sort of "go between for negotia- tions between the tribe and the outside world. He is the one who has been corresponding with MT. Ross. This man Vanderpool and MT. Ross had an interview Tuesday night, when Wander pool made the offer that if MT. Ross would put in the hands of responsible parties named the reward of $20, 900, or whatever the reward was, he would pro- duce the child Charlie Ross, and If the child was not fully identified he would pay all the loss and expense that MT. Ross had incurred in visiting Towanda.
 Vanderpool is slim, tall and has a face indicative of cunning and shrewdness. He acts as lawyer for his tribe. He says he can produce the the boy, but when asked if he had ever seen the child replied in the negative, but he says he knows his so-called parents and has talked with them. He says that the woman and the man who have the child are not aware that any negotiations are pending for the recovery of the child, and he dare not let it be known, as secrecy is the only way to save the child's life, because those who have him threaten to kill him should they hear of any attempt to rescue. He says that this couple have wandered for years In this way, and whenever they heard of any attempt to rescue they would leave for another part of the country, and this is the way they have lived since the child was stolen. But he claims they are now in circuit where he can soon put his hand upon them if the reward is secured to him. This Is the story that he is only acting for others, but any one can detect that he is the principal mover in the whole plan that he knows far more about the mysterious couple than he pretends. It is so far well laid plan. One thing is certain, MT. Ross cannot be triAed with, and he IS evidently on @ search that will be slfted to the bottom.

THE SAUSAGE MAKER, ma]

THE SAUSAGE MAKER.-Sausage mak- CTS are objects of general suspicion, and when it became known in the neighbor- hood of Charles Pizzola's sausage fac tory, in San Francisco, that he was buy ing cats, the excitement was intense. The story went that boys had captured dozens of cats for him, and that, when ever one was sold to him, he cut off its tail with clever, stuck the stump into apail of salt, and then turned the maim- ed brute into room, from which it never came out alive. A cat with it's tail cut off is believed to fatten quickly; so the conclusion was that Pizzola was fattening cats for sausage. He was arrested on charge of cruelty and fined $25 but he proved that he had bought only four cats, and had put them to catching rats in his factory.

Socialism in Berlin.

Hitherto the Prussian Socialists have rarely shown any collective interest in the municipal elections. Now matters appear very different, and the Social deputy Hasselmann announces a new paper. During the last ten years e number of votes given in Berlin for So- cial Democrats have steadily increased, as follows: 1867, 69; 1871, 1,961; 1874, 11,971 1877, 31, 522 1878, 1886. Ac- cording to the suspended Berliner Freie Presse, s4, 900 pamphlets of Socialistic tendency have been sold in Germany during the past year. One central com mittee in Berlin had transactions to the amount of a1O, ,0OO. and had paid @, 700 for printing paper alone.

THE GIRL SHE LOVED.
FEARED SHE HAD BEEN sUPPLANTED IN HER AFFECTIONS BY ANOTHER.

A letter from Pocomoke City, Md, gives an account of the fatal shooting of Miss Ella Hearn by her intimate associate, Miss Lily Duer. Both girls moved in the highest social circles, were aged IS, and were pretty and we'll educated. The attachment of Miss Duer for her friend was apparently of the most ardent nature. She was constant wis., itor at MT. Hearn's residence, and her manner toward Miss Hearn was of the most affeoionate. character. -.
 The scene of the shooting was in Miss Hearn's sitting room, on the afternoon of Nov. 5. Miss Duer called, and after meeting Miss Hearn in the tenderest manner, expressed to her belief that her affections had been supplanted by Miss Ella Foster, with whom Miss Hearn had also been on terms of intimacy. A few minutes afterward Miss Duer drew a pistol from her pocket and fired. The ball entered Miss Hearn's face, and it was never extracted. As Miss Duer seemed to be overwhelmed with grief, and declared the shooting to be acciden- tai, no action was taken at the time by the authorities.
 Miss Hearn died last week and an IT, quest has since been held, at which it was shown that she accused Miss Duer of shooting her Intentionally, and that she had on previous occasion attempted to take her life.
 Dr. Truitt testified that he was sum- moned on Tuesday, Nov. 5, between 4 and o'clock, and found Miss Hearn conscious, but excited. StmuIants were necessary, which when given her were the cause of her resting comfort ably that night. She remained about three days in that condition. For the first week she was delirious. Miss Hearn told the Doctor that she followed Miss Lily Duer to the door. Miss Duer asked her if she loved her. Miss Hearn re- piled playfully, "No." Miss Duer then drew pistol, said that if she repeated that she would shoot her. Miss Duer then drew back two paces and fired. Dr. Smith also testified that he ascribes the death of Miss Hearn to nervous prostra- tion, caused by the shock produced by the shooting.
 James T. Hearn testified: On the afternoon of Tuesday, after the shooting he asked his daughter if the shooting was accidental. She declined to answer. The next day he asked again. She again declined, and turning away began to weep bitterly. A few days afterward she volunta rily said that she followed Miss Deur to the door, where Miss Deur accused her of loving Miss Ella Foster better than she did her. Miss Duer tried to kiss witness's daughter, and in doing so fell, and then jumped to her feet in an excited manner and fired. Ella said she did not expect to recover, and there | fore wished witness to know the circum- stances. Miss Duer affirmed in the most positive manner that the shooting was accidental.
 The verdict of the jury was that Miss Hearn came to her death from nervous depression, caused by shot from a pistol in the hands of Miss Lily Duer. Miss Duer has given bail in $2, 800 for trial. Public sentiment is about equally divided as to whether the shooting was accidental or not.
