A Five Dollar Bill.

An Indiana man had $5 national banknote chewed up by his dog. He sent two fragments of the note to the Treasurer of the United States and wanted good one in return. Treasurer Gillian refused to return @ good note, there being nothing to show that the other fragments might not be sent in for another new bill. The Indiana man then sent the two fragments back again, pinned to an affidavit he had made be- fore notary public, as follows: "Per- sonally appeared before me this day, -, who, being by me duly sworn, makes oath that the remainder of the bank-bill hereunto attached was totally destroyed by his dog; that he detected him in the act and rescued these rem nants, taking them from the dogs mouth, and that the remainder of this bill was chewed and swallowed by the aforesaid dog, and thereby totally de- stroyed. Subscribed and sworn before me- etc. This being considered sufi- cient evidence of the dogs voraclty and the Indiana mans veracity, the Treas urer sent on new note.

A Romance of the Plague.

The Memphis Avalo,ache says:-One of the thousand and one tragic incidents of the great plague happened at Holly Springs 8 few days since. A beautiful young lady of New Orleans was forced by her father to marry an old man she could not love. Preferring death to slavery, the young lady ran away and gave her services as nurse to the fever stricken at Holly Springs. After few days of devoted attention to the sick she was herself stricken. There was a male nurse for her. There was no feamaIe hand to soothe with it's gentle touch the fevered brow. But the noble Ridley was there to perform the last sad offices to the dying girl. Towards the last she said to him: ssKiss me-" As Ridley kissed her on the cheek, she ex- claimed: ' Kiss my lips,' which he did. She then said |" You are the only man [ ever kissed; kiss me again." While Ridley was in the act of kissing her she threw her arms tightly around his neck, and instantly expired. God bless the brave hearts.

Fever from Milk.

Dr. A. Carpenter stated to the Lon don Board of Health that he has known of case in which fever of the typhoid kind was distributed in consequence of the dairy in which the milk was kept being in communication with the sewers of the district, and it unfortunately hap pened that the communication was not trapped. The milk was kept in the dairy and in the basement, and the trap being opened and certain arrangements carried on with carbolic acid, many of the customers of that milkman returned the milk because it smelt of tar. That told himAa once the communication be- tween the sewer and the dairy was open, and that the foul air was finding it's way into the dairy and becoming ab- sorbed by the milk, than which nothing in nature is so capable of absorbing sewer gases. That dairy was the means of distributing typhoid germs, and yet the dairyman was innocent of mixing foul water with his milk.

The Custom of Understudying,

In Europe, more than ever in this country, the position of supernumerary in theatre has been looked upon as a stepping-stone to something greater, and there it is an almost universal prac- tice among those in this walk of life to understudy every part they think they can play, in every piece that is brought out, in the hope that some fortunate &C., cident may give them an opportunity to take an actors place and show what they can do. "Such accidents have hap pened and may again, each says to him. self. But their doing so is rare. It is related of one poor fellow in Parisian theatre that during fourteen years he had patiently understudied everything juvenile lovers, heavy villains, old men, eccentric comic characters-had even hmbered up his joints in readiness to take the place of Harlequin in a pan tomime. Still, no accident ever hap pened to anybody, and all his toll was in vain. At length he lost heart, and one night when he was not required in the theatre, sat moodily playing dominoes in a small cafe near by. There messenger from the theatre found him, and hur- riedly said to him:
 "Come, make haste, quick you are wanted; somebody is taken sick p
 "Aha!" !" shouted the long-patient one "my time has come at last ! my long-awaited chance Now I will show them what can do p
 He ran, excited and full of hope, to the stage-manager, exclaiming, (Which part is it? I know them all. I have understudied everything in the piece.
 "You are wanted to take the place of the dumb man who is seen sitting in a boat under the bridge"

The Massachusetts Prison Plot.

The letters discovered at the Concord State Prison, the Boston Traveler says, show that the plan to release the prison CTS there was as follows: The wife of Bowers, who lives in New York city, was to las agent for gang of twelve desper:~ men, accomplices of the pris- oners. These men, armed with revolvers and furnished with tools, were to enter the large gateway in the northern angle of the prison walls early some misty or cloudy morning, and overcome the guard. They were then to proceed to the prison quarters and effect the escape of their accomplices. The isolated sit- uation of the prison and the wildness of the surrounding country renders it ex- ceedingly probable that the plot would have been successful had secrecy been kept. Officer Rankin offered an explana- tion of his conduct by saying that he received the letters for the purpose of ferreting out the plot. The letters in question were written on white paper, folded in small compass. They were directed simply with the initial "B, !" and contained many cant terms in use among cracksmen. It is reported that McCarty, ,%'a notorious character from New York city, has been seen in the vicinity of the prison within fortnight, and 1t is known that very recently 8 suspicious looking and appearing char acter was loafng around the Concord Junction railway station making discon- nected inquiries about express trains.
 There is another report that plans were laid for the blowing up of portion of the prison-yard with powder, which occasionally remains in box cars on the side track of the railroad over night while in transit for powder company. It is now thought the five convicts who escaped on the night of September 30 had outside assistance, and by some that they were the perpetrators of the daring bank robbery committed in New York on Sunday.

Novelties in Fur TrImmin gs.

The taste for fur trimmings has greatly increased, and in order to match the various colors and cloths of cloaks an of costumes nearly all the furs in use are made into borders for trimming. A single wide border is thought more ef- fective than two or three narrower bands of fur. The low-priced fur trimmings begin with the soft and pretty coon- skins, either brown or gray, at fifteen to twenty-five cents yard. The coon trimmings, at seventy-fve cents up to $4, are really very dressy, and the nicer qualities are used for fur-lined circulars and cloth suits the fleece is so long that pelt an inch wide gives border of three inches. The familiar black marten bor- ders are very effective, and cost $1 a yard and upward. One of the most fashionable furs for borders is the black and brown beaver, or castor, as the Parisian fashion writers call it. It comes in bands four or five inches wide, with all the long hairs plucked out of it, and a velvet-hke surface, or else unplucked, with the stiff hairs left out; in either case this handsome dark border is fit to trim the richest fabrics, and costs $3 a yard. Silver points or single white hairs are sewed in, and it is then called silvery beaver, and considered still more dressy; this costs $5. The lynx furs in gray, black, and 6leute-which has blue shades are very fashionable long heeces for trimming. The light, long, gray lynx is $8 yard. Black lynx is colored, and has silken gloss in four-inch borders it costs $3 to $5. The silver blue or 6leute lynx is very dressy. The other furs, both plucked and unplucked, make dark rich borders, especially for fine wraps. The chinchilla borders are as fashionable as the sets just described, and are very expensive, though they vary, according to their quality and depth, from $2 to SIS yard. The va rious fox furs also show great range in prices. The exquisite silver-fox bands cost $6 and upward for bands scarcely an inch broad on the pelt, and the blu fox is also $6. The gray fox is cheaper, and may be colored to match suits. It makes an excellent show for the expense, which is from $1 to $4. Black fox is a soft, silky, elegant fur, costing from $6 upward. For wide borders the black genet is commended, at $3 yard.
 A novel trimming called Toulitza is black cony-skin dusted on the points with silvery white paint. The effect is very good, and French modistes use it for trimming very elegant silk cloaks. It costs from $1 to $3 yard. The new Marguerite trimming is clipped cony :, with white hairs inserted in clusters that look like snow-fakes. There are also many fancy mixtures of feathers and fur, such as edges of chinchilla with 8 stripe between of gray ostrich feathers or of the blue-green parts of peacocks' feath- CTS. Unplucked beaver bands have the golden eyes of peacocks' feathers ar- ranged down the middle. Cocks plumes are bordered with black fur bands Bazar.

The Game of Gossip,

This is an old game, children; one we played years ago, but there is lesson to be learned from it even if it is old ; and wehope that while it may afford you amusement, you may also learn the lesson it teaches. A number of little folks-say fifteen or twenty-sit around the room in a circle. Then the leader, whoever in the circle may be appointed, whispers, very rapidly, 8 complete sentence-not too long or too short-to her right hand ne1ghbor. The sentence whispered so rapidly is not likely to be clearly enunciated, or fully understood by her listener, but the latter must use her own imagination and make sense out of it, and then whisper it to the next one, and so on to the last one, who whispers it to the author of the sentence, who rises and repeats aloud the original remark, and the way it has been returned to her after it's wandering. The two sentences are generally entirely different. Gossip is good name for the game, isn't it, children? ? Sometimes we hear things that somebody else has said about us j; we do not ask for an explanation, but we stop liking that person we stop sharing our pleasures with her; we give frowns for smiles, etc., etc. When you hear such remarks, remember this little game of Gossip, and recall how easy it is for remarks to get twisted and changed, and that perhaps your little friend said something good about you after all. Anyway, it isn't fair, little girls and little boys, to condemn Tn this wholesale manner without seeking an ex- planation, and giving our supposed enemy chance to right himself if he can,

Ease Attainable by the Rheumatic.

Yes, although they may despair of relief, it is attainable by rheumatic sufferers, for there is remedy which carries off, by means of increased activity of the kidneys-important channels for blood purifcation-the acrid element to which pathologists the most emi- nent attribute the painful symptoms-a theo- ry completely borne out by urinary analysis. The name of this grand depurent is Hostel ter's Bitters, preparation likewise celebrated as a remedy for constipation, which causes contamination of the blood with the bile-and a certain means of relief in dyspepsia, fever and ague, and nervous ailments. It is, per haps, the finest tonic eXtant, and is highly recommended as medicinal stimulant by distinguished physicians and analysts, who pronounce it to be eminently pure and very beneficial. The press also endorses it.

AFTER MANY YEARs.-Capt. Charles B. Porter sailed away from Boston twenty-five years ago, leaving his sweet heart, Amelia Hollis, behind him. While voyaging on the other side of the world he received the news that she had married another. He was crushed by the disappointment, and never returned to Boston until last year. Then he re- ceived note from Amelia requesting him to call on her. He went, and was told by her that she was widow, that she had plenty of money, and that she had never ceased to love h1m. Of course 8 marriage ensued. Up to this point the story is pleasant one, but there is a disagreeable sequel. Porter had be- come drunkard. He and his wife quar- relied, parted, became reconciled, and parted again and now Porter has con- mitted suicide in an insane asylum.
