A Strange Tragedy.


A curious tragedy was recent,

tears" On the day fixed for the exc.
cution Of the crime the peasant re.
pented, and, going to the intended
victim, confessed all that had passed.
The father made him promise to pre-
tend to his employer that the crime
had been committed, and he then wen.
before the Rabbi Joseph Beer, berore
whom he laid the whole matter.
After due deliberation. the rabbi dc.
termined to see the son, Informed him
that his murdered father had appeared

murderer whether he would appear be-
fore a terrestrial or celestial Jury,
Tne son, quite overwhelmed, chose

influential parishioners. { The father
was placed behind aourtain. The
prisoner having beer, placed Of the
bar, the judges rose, and the rabbi
solemnly invited the spirit Of the deal

The Uses Of Tails.

A very important function of The
tail of yak, cat, squirrel,and many
other animals, to which drew at
tention some years age, has escaped
the notice of Prof. Mivart, 1t lis that
tho bushy tails OF these animals serve
very important function in pre-,
serving their body heat during their
nightly and their wintry sleep. In
cold weather animals withbpshy tails
will be found lying curled up with
their tails laid carefully over their
feet like rug, and with their noses
buried IN the fur Of the tail, which is
thus used exactly in the same way
and for the same purpose as we use
respirators. l have q Manx tailless
cat, who cannot, of course, carry on
ihis function, but ho makes very
good substitute for it by using the
back Of one of n y other cats. When
lie cannot be so accommodated, he
sleeps with his hands crossed over
his face. "just like a Christian" as my
cook says-Ndture.

HoSEspALE. Pa Aug. 6-Wiilie
Bowen, aged nine years, is q slate
picker on the piers of the Delawar
and Hodson Canal Company at this
place. Two ~ponderous iron rollers,
one close over the other, revoise
slowly a Few feet above the boys
head where be vorks. A piece of
slate from the cosl thst il carried
from ecree 10 screen on endless can
vas belts got between these rollers
yesterday. The boy reached up from
the scafiolding on which he stood to
take the slate out His hand was
caught by the rollers and drawn slow
|ly in, until the little fellow was rais-
ed from his feet and was suspended
over the canal, ten feet above it.
Nearly half of his arm was drawn be-
tween tho rollers before his terrible
situation was discovered and the ma.
chinery stopped Before the boy
could be removed a messenger bad 10
be despatched TO the machine shop,
some distance away, for m~achinists
to take the machinery apart. This
required more than fifteen minutes.
All this time the lad hung suspended
by the crushed hand and arm, the
flesh being entirely torn away, ex-
posing the bones and cords. The
little fellow uttered a CRY nor
shed a tear. His father, an employee
on the pier, was q weeping witness
of the terrible scene, and the boy
kept saying, don't cry, father ;
they'll get me out all right" The
lads arm will have to be amputsted
at the elbow.

John, President Of The Freedmen,s
Relief Association of Kansas, from

en-: The tide OF i. ii ia o contin.
ues to How Dortnmstu in al almost
unbrokeE stream, and unless checked
BY quarantine regulations established
along the Mississippi there is no tell
ing just when is will stop. We find
it very difficult, with the means at
our command, 10 relieve the ~necessi-
ties of refugees, but are doing the
best We can, ard have thus far pre-
vented any actual suffering.
/, seems TO me the people Of the
North do not comprehend the msgui-
tude OF this movement, otherwise
they would certainly take greater
interest 10 the matter. So far our
association has extended aid 10 about
!. 900 destitute colcred people. W.
have obtained employ ment for them
aid placed them in such situation
that they are now self-sustaining, but
cost a great deal Of money. We
have received some aid from abroad
in fact, from certain sections of the
country quite liberal donations have
The city of Cleveland has
given 81 1900, but the great city of
New York. so far as l know, has not
given that many cents. What is
needed is money. Our funds are
exhausted, and whether we
shall receive further contributions
nothing bat the future can determine.
