Fatal Combat.

a ! la Z !
On the roof of the Cathedral, at Col
mar, says the Baroness Oberkirch, in
her Memoirs" there had been placed
a wheel, laid crosswise, as an induce
ment to the storks to build their nests
there. This is a custom throughout
Alsace, it being popular opinion in
that part of the country that these
birds are harbingers of good luck. The
storks had not failed to come, and from
the windows of our inn we saw the SOM,
ber profile of a parent bird standing out
in strong relief against the evening
sky, then Redeemed by the setting sun.
A brood of young storks were grouped
around the parent, that stood upright
upon its great claws. None in the nest
slept; it was evident that they awaited
an absent one, some straggler, perhaps,
and from time to time we heard their
wild and disagreeable cry. At length
we perceived on the verge of the hori-
zon, a stork with outspread wings, cleav-
ing the air with arrowy swiftness, and
closely pursued by bird of prey of
prodigious size, probably vulture from
the neighboriDg mountains. The stork
was frightened wounded, perhaps-
and the cries of those in the nest re-
sponded to the parents cry. We saw
the poor frightened bird arrive straight
over its nest and fall there exhausted
either by fatigue or pain. The other
stork then took her companions place,
and sprang toward the enemy. A fierce
combat commenced; the two champions
rushed upon enc another, uttering ter
rife cries. But the glorious instinct of
paternity displayed itself with incredu-
lous strength, and energy in the stork.
While defending herself or attacking
her gigantic adversary, she never for an
instant lost sight of her little ones that
lay trembling and terrified in the nest
beneath, but tried continually to cover
them with her wings. Atlength, too weak
to sustain an unequal combat, by a des-
perate effort she approached her branch
| formed nest, where lay the expiring
mate and the young ones yet unable to
take wing. She caught the nest in her
bill, shook it forcibly and turned it
over, dashing from the top of the tower
the objects of her affection, rather than
see them fall prey to their enemy; {;
then, deyoting herself singly, resigned
victim, she fell upon the wheel, where,
with blow of his beak, the vulture
terminated her existence. We were
touched to the heart by the sight of this
combat and this defense. To use an ex-
preston then in fashion, it was real
family tragedy. The Count du Nord
especially seemed as much interested
and excited as if he had been looking
on strife between two mail-clad war.
riors.

AT last an important stage has been
reached in the undying scandal of Ply
mouth Church. Mrs. Tilton is excom-
municated, and the sisters who eackled
pretty freely over her famous last con-
fession are doubtless happier. Perhaps
this will be the last the public will hear
for a great while of the painful story.
Let us hope it may. Even revenge can
hardly desire to stir it up indefinitely.

who could plan and execute scheme
stand the effect of it, and that they must
take the consequences. he accordingly
bound them over to the court of special
sessions.
On the same day, at Brooklyn, three
boys, aged, respectively, twelve, fifteen,
and eighteen years, were arrested while
picking the lock of building. One of
them acknowledged that they, with one
other boy, constituted a gang of thieves
who had been carrying on a system of
robbery for long time. The crimes
were planned by the Oldest of the gang,
and executed by the others.
At present large proportion of
crimes are committed by mere children,
and, as rule, they 60 unpunished. A
morbid sentimentality interests itselfin
behalf of juvenile criminals. 1t is as
difficult to convict a boy as woman.
If sentence is pronounced against one of
them, an effort is invariably made to
procure pardon. An incarnate fend
like Jesse Pomeroy is the recipient of
more favers than ever fall in the way of
ten thousand worthy boys. Many claim
that these Juvenile monsters are not re-
sponsible for the crimes they commit,
inasmuch as they inherit the depravity
they display. This may be true, but it
does not show that society should not Sc
cure protection against persons who can
not keep themselves from wrong doing.
Persons are not to be blamed for insan-
ity; still it is best for all concerned that
the unfortunate victims of this terrible
malady be placed where they can do no
harm. Persons like these juvenile
train-wreckers and thieves, who inherit
insanity mental or moral, or the desire
to commit crimes, should not be allowed
liberty to crafty their internal i'm
pulses or to disseminate them, by force
Of example, among those who are sane.
Misguided mercy to one of these victims
of inherited vice is cruelty to the whole
community.

protege of the proud Richard Clavering,
received the homage of the assembled
crowd.
When the acclamations had ceased,
the orchestra began a soft symphony |;
and then through the building echoed
the clear, pure notes of voice that
sounded far away-a dreamy, mystic
voice, full of hope, of doubt, of pain.
Nearer, still nearer it sounded, and hope
half drowned the doubts and yet a
plaintive sorrow seemed to remain. 1t
came nearer, and the sorrow was half
expectant, trembling glimpse of some
thing better; and then suddenly the
strange voice broke forth in triumphal
strain, the listeners held thef breath as
the wondrous notes rang out upon the
air and then died away.
Fer moment adeadly silence reigned,
but it was for a moment only; then the
building vibrated with a crash of enthu-
siasm that came from the music-crazed
audience. Men rose in their seats, and
hundreds flung the floral tributes at her
feet.
In one of the boxes, above the one
where the music master and manager
sat, an old, odd looking man waved his
handkerchief and cheered, with great
tears falling down his wrinkled cheeks /:
and Camilla looked up to that one box,
and gave him the only smile that crossed
her lips during the night.
But at last the curtain fell, and Ca
milla, weary and worn, went off to the
dressing-room. Some one stood in the
shadow of the side scene, and when she
asked perr-:ssion to pass, caught her
by the hands and drew her out into the
light.
Camilla, little Camille, it is you ?
Have been listening to my little girl
all this glorious evening3 Speakto me |
I am bewildered and blind"
"Mr. Clavering! When did, you
come? Oil I am SO glad, SO happyl"
she exclaimed.
Are you glad? Are you happy ?
Oh, is this my welcome? Have you
waited for me, my love, my darling?"
She put her hands over her eyes muir
muring.
"You do not mean your words. / am
dreamingl am madl"
You are here wide awake, Camilla,
and am asking you to love me and to
be my wife,"
She drew him away for a brief mo-
ment, and laid her head within his
arms, Then she passed into her dress
ing-room, and she put out her hands
saying:
"Oh, Richard, take me away. am
soul sick of all this"
And you will only sing"
In your nest. Come, we must not
forget Uncle Paul. He is waiting in
the box for me-" Uncle Paul, cried
Camilla. "Why, you naughty boy, you
are fast asleep. Come, it is time to go
home. Ahp5
She started back, with a cry, for the
hand she touched was icy cold, and fell
back, stiff and helpless.
Camilla, darling, come away. I will
attend to him.
ooh, Richard"
Hush, love. He is beyond US now.
Those strains of music have carried
him to heaven, from whence they came. !"
. The poor old man was dead. With
the consummation of his hearts wish, his
quiet, unpretending, unofending life
had passed out into the new existence.
There were loud growls in the music
loving world, but nothing ever came of
them; for Richard Clavering removed
their singing bird so defantly that few
knew the cause of her fight; and now
she sings only to him.

Young CoYille,s Diplomacy,

IDanbury News
Mr.. Coville's niece, an estimable as
we'll as pretty young lady, has been
visiting him for some time. Shortly
after Fer coming clerk in one of Dam
bury's leading stores made her acquaint-
ance, and became at once her devoted at
tendant, very much to the delight Of
young Coville. The clerk is very fond of
good tobacco, and smokes an admirable
cigar. The portion of it that is not con-
sumed when he reaches the house he leaves
on the porch until he comes out again.
The third or fourth time he did thisyOung
Coville detected the move, and lost no
time in possessing himself of the luxury,
with which he retired to an out-of-the-
way place. When this had been done
several times, and several times the
clerk had secretly felt for and missed
his cigar, he began to grow suspicious
| and uneasy. Perceiying this, young
Coyille awoke to the fact that some
thing must be speedily done to counter
act the smokers discretion, and the best
way to do it was to SO completely in
volve him in the meshes of love as to
| make the loss Of an unfinished cigar a
| matter of no 5cc0unt Whatever. With
this view he put himself in the Young
mans way at the store, The bait took.
"How's Minnie?" asked the clerk,
anxiously.
"she's not very WE'LL" said young Co
vile.
"Why, what's the matter7''
al don't know. Iguess you know that
better'n do" answered the youth with
afacetious wink.
"I knowp
al guess SO. Oh, she's gone on YOU"
"ShP cautioned the clerk, looking
around to see if they were unobseryed.
"What do you mean, Billy" And he
blushed and looked pleased.
"Why, you see, she's as chirk as can
be when you're there, but when you amt
she's all down the mouth. She don't
fix her hair, an she won't see anybody,

1t was an awful combat, and each was
taken home on shutter, and quito bed.
A week later, friends brought them
together, and made up the quarrel, and
the suits were all withdrawn.
A fortnight afterwards, Poddery dis
trained McGlue for his fees, and left
an empty house. -
On the same day, Hopkins sold Rol-
Inns out, COW and all, and he had to be-
gin the world clear over again.

The great heart Of the music-loving
public was agitated with mingled emo
ftions of Joy, pride, establishment and
awe. A new songstress had been criti-
cised, picked over piecemeal, ground
down to the finest point, dissected, ex-
Amined through the most perfect mi
froscope, and pronounced perfect! And
pow the manager of first class fashion
patronized theater had engaged her for
an almost fabulous SUM, as the world
was tohear her voice.
= The night came. The theater was
crowded from pit to roof. The orches-
ira pealed forth a grand overture, the
expectant crowd filled the air with per-
fume, and soft murmers of whispering
voices and rustling silks arose in sub
dued sound and then the broad cur
tain rolled up and displayed the ele-
gantly-ftted stage.
Suddenly there was hush in the vast
building, and eyes grew bright with
eager anticipation as from the wing
came the debutante.
A tall, graceful girl, with cleaning
shoulders and white, perfectly shaped
arms: with crown of purple black
hair upon the regal head; with great
eyes scanning the crowd, and then with
almost childish shyness yelling them
selves beneath the long lashes; mouth,
soft. tender and beautiful, and cheek
as fair as the pure white satin of her
sweep robe; and they had seen the
long talked of and highly y-praised beauty
1 A roar like the rushing of distant
waters sounded in her ears, and then
swelled into thunder; and coming
