A Generous Miner.

After all, these Virginia City miners
have big, generous hearts. The other
evening one of them, who was finishing
up weeks spree in Frisco, stepped
out Of the Palace after dinner, and ran
against haggard-lOoking, shabby-gen-
teel woman who was weeping upon
corner. s'What is the matter, marm!'
said the miner respectfully. She told
him sad story-poVerty, sickness,
large family of children, nothing to do,
nothing to wear. {" Is that the best
frock you've gotP" said the rough fell
low, gently. She said it was. He felt in
his pocket. 1t contained one twenty,
which he had intended to devote TO wine
and wiekedness that evening. Stop
here moment, marm," and he lodged
around the corner and into a dry-gOods
store. In few minutes he returned,
and, pressing small bundle into the
poor woman's hand, disappeared with
the air of man who had done kind
action gracefully. The starving woman
eagerly undid the package. 1t contain
ed a pair of embroidered silk stockings.

own son. His first military success was
in the war with Montenegro. After the
passage of the Danube BY the Russian
troops he was appointed TO the post Of
Commander-in-Chief of the Army of
Shumla. After the fall of Shipka he
was replaced by SuIeiman Pasha.
France is represented BY her Minister
of Foreign Affairs, William Henry Wad-
dingtop, and by the Count de Saint VAL
Her The former Is Frenchiiied En-
glishman, educated at Cambridge, and
thoroughly English in his habits and
views. He is a profound student Of
numismatics and literary man of dis
tinetioE. He entered political life only
in 1871. Theirs appointed him Minis
ter of Public Instruction, post which
he has since occupied several times.
He has held his present Office only since
last October.
The Count de Saint Waller is d.
plomatist of the routine kind. He is
young (4S) handsome, elegant, and a
man of social culture. He has always
been in the diplomatic service. He
gained distinction as q Commissioner
of the French Government with the Ger
man army of occupation
} 1.-The two Italian representatives are
Count Corti and Count de Launay. The
former is Minister OF Foreign Affairs. the
latter Ambassador at Berlin. Count
Corti knows Turkey and the Turks well,
for he has lived at Constaniinone for
many years. The role of both in the
Congress is a secondary one. All they
have to do is to look out for their cOur-
try's interests in the Adriatic. The fate
of Turkey does not concern them at all.

Traps for Georgia FIeas.

Necessity is the mother of invention,
and in those parts. of orr State afflicted
with fieas, many novel and ingenious
devices have been resorted to as means
of getting rid of the pest. We publish
ed few days ago that a Cuthbert man
had, with partial success, tried covering
his limbs with varnish on retiring at
night and had captured Az Another
paper now gives the experience of a
gentleman of It's town who placed a
plate of ,molasses under house where
the animals loved to congregate, drove
little stake on each side, and then
fastened sheet of writing-paper in
vertical position over the middle OF the
plate. The fleas, true TO their instinct
to make for every thing white, began To
Jump against The paper and to slip down
into the molasses, from which they were
unable to extricate themselves. The
scheme was a success. The fleas were
thinned out. Now, 7 says the paper,
IS If it was some enterprising Yankee
who had made this discovery, he would
apply for patent and make fortune
out Of it. "-SGUaHlah (Ga.) Nes0s.

She Knew Her Business.

When Collins went home to dinner
Monday he found the house tenantless,
the cook stove cold, and there was a
lonesome look about that part of the
Monday washing still left in the tubs in
the summer kitchen. Hurrying through
to the back yard he saw his wife braced
against the fence, holding to the end of
a broken clothes line to keep the newly
washed garments from the ground.
"You've got here at last, have you?"
exclaimed the wife as she caught sight
of him.
"Yes, I'm here-what's the matter?"
he repeated.
"Here I've been holding this broken
line for over an hour-over a full hour,
sirl" she snapped. 81 was determined
to die right here before I'd let these
clothes DOWN."
"But why didn't you call some oneP"
he innocently inquired. "There's that
new family next door--the woman would
have come over in one minute
81 Woman next door, you big idiot,
you'll Hasn't she been peeking around
and peeking around for two weeks to
see my wash, and dye think I'd give
her chance to come over here and see
for herself whether the sleevs of my
nightgown were pieced down with un-
bleached cotton? You don't know any
thing, sir, and you make tracks for a
piece of rope, sir"
Well, swami" growled Collins, as
he 'stracked. ''-Bosios Times.
