Il STORY OF a WOMANS DEVO-
TTOK.

I Twenty years ago, as the story
goes, there was a wedding. The
bride was of good family. and she
loved her husband with the charac-
tsristic devotion of a wife. But she
found herself grievousIy disappoint-
ed, for in time he inflicted a series
of studied injuries that eventually
ended in the loss Of her character
and separation. She drifted to this
city and became the proprietress Of
a house Of bad repute, in which ter
rible business she remains to the
present day. For years there has
fingered in her heart memories of
what she was and what she might
! have been bat for this wretch whom
at one time she owned as husband
and she had nothing but curses for
the irreparah!e ruin be had wrought.
The husband continued at his home
and prospered, and the world treat
ed him as an honorable man. He
surrounded himself with new domes-
tic ties. and apparently prospered,
bat the old saying THAT the mills of
the gods grind slowly, but they grind
exceedingly small" had an illustra-
ton in this case for with reverses
in business came disease, and disas-
ter followed so swiftly that in a few
years there was none so poor as to
do him reverence, Consumption
incapacitated him from making a
living. and the public hospital was
his only resort. There it was that
the deserted and cruelty treated
wife, whose life Of degradation had
been of his own making, sent for him
and he was brought here and is now
lying on his death-bed in a residence
apart from bis own, but surrounded
with every luxury that can possibly
smooth his descent to the grave.

attendant, and there is hardly an [

Mary had little lamb,

And everywhere that Mary went
The lamb was sure to go.
He followed her to school one day.

To see lamb at school.

Mrs. z. Taylor Lacy, of Reading, Pa,
has a number of pets. among which are
ringdoves, canary birds, white rabbits,
fancy stock of fowls, dog and land
tortoise. She said to reporter that she
g hardly knew which she thought the
most of, excepting it might be the land
tortoise, which she would not sell for
any money" She was stroking the
head of the tortoise with her finger, and,
as she spoke to it, calling it "my pet,
the shelled animal looked up into her
face and turned its head to one sid1and
then to the other, as if listening to and
understanding what she said. When
the reporter came close it quickly drew
back out of sight, into its shell, and she
remarked, e The little pet is afraid Of
strangers.
What do you feed to the little pet ?''
Bread and milk in bucket"

About two years. received it from
a friend in Philadelphia A cousin of
mine residing in that city has one that
makes peculiar noise when it wants
something to eat, and it follows men,
bers of the family all around the yard.
They keep it in the yard in summer, and
at the approach of winter it goes to the
cellar door, when some one opens it and
it goes down and creeps into the ground,
where it stays until spring.

The gambling hell at Monaco returns
within trife of S2.50O,O0O to its pro-
prietor. The princely revenue will be
short this year to the income of a grand
duke of Pumpernickel. One of the most
remarkable instances of lucky gambling
ever recorded has just set the crowd at
the little free city afire with envy. Early
in the. spring there was rumor of dis
aster impending over an ancient British
baronetcy, which has given heroes, poets
and lawyers to the country. The heir
had inherited $1,000, 600 debts, added to
a round sum he had raised at Accom-
mediation Bank interest. When the
usurers found their security a shadow,
and the mortgages discovered that the
successor to the title and estates had be-
gun by dipping the property further, it
was resolved to force payment Anoble
duke, whose name was much mentioned
in connection with the Glasgow Bank,
generously lent as much as deferred the
evil day. But the smash would have
come all the same, but for the wonderful
stroke of luck which befel the spend
thrift patrician at Monaco He broke
the bank three nights running. His last
coup made a round $500, 600, in addition
to the 100000 captured by him the two
nights previous. A

How Gen. Shields Was Cured.

The late Gen. Shields, at the battle of
Cerro Gordo, in Mexico, was severely
wounded while leading his men, but he
refused to quit the field. He advanced
to the charge, when he was struck in
the chest by a copper grapeshot that
passed through his lungs. He tell into
the arms Of Oglesby, at present United
States Senator from Illinois, and was
carried from the battlefield to all APP
pearances lifeless. Obituary notices ap-
peared afterward in nearly all the papers
of the country, so convinced were the
brother officers Of the inaPossibility OF
his surviving such a terrible wound
For weeks he lay at the brink of death
in the neiahborhood of the oattletield,
and his cure seems little short Of a mir
acle. The army surgeons had given hmm
over for death when 4 Mexican doctor
said he would live if he would Let him
remove the coagulated blood from the
wound. Shields, as kill or cure reme-+
dy. told him to try, and d fine silk hand
kerchief was worked in and finally
drawn through the wound, removing
the extravasant blood, when daylight
could be seen through the hole. He
lived to be hale and hearty man, freR
from disease or any inconvenience from
the wound. which was considered at thnt
time mortal.

A 0naer Chickan.-

Mr.. David Fishel, of this city, is the
proud and happy possessor of queer
fowl that settles for all time the question
of hens teeth. There is probably hardly
a reader of the Herald that has not at
some time during his or her life stopped
to think whether hen had teeth or not,
and then have laughed for entertaining
the question. Itmay be safely said now
that the laugh is on the other side.
There is hen that has teeth. and Mr..
Fishel has the hen. The teeth are not
very large ones, it is true, but can be
plainly seen when the chickens mouth
is open, and look very much like a
baby's first Two or three inciSors. There
are none on the lower jaw (for the ami
NAL seems to have jaws), but its, affec-
tionate owner, who, by the way. seems
to regard it very much as most men
would regard baby, says that he hopes
it Will in time develop more mastieators.
The hen is somewhat giddy, as yet not
being quite year old, and was born
and raised in Ohio, arriving in this city,
with a large invoice of her sisters,
cousins and aunts and an occasional
uncle. about week ago. She fell into
Mr.. Fishel's hands in the regular way of
business. and has for the past three days
occupied with pride and becoming self
possession a large show window in his
shop. She has no bill, and her head is
something like monkeys, with fore
head. The nose and nostri1s are very
like humans, and the cartilage of the
nose is soft, responding freely to the
finger touch.-NeaO York Herald.

Falling Thirteen Hundred Feet.

Three miners in the Savage mine at
Virginia City, Nevada, started up the
shaft Just as the six o'clock morning
whistle blew. They were Nicholas
Dickmon, John Champion and T. X.
johnson. They had worked all night.
When fifty feet from the surface and
1900 from the bottom of the shaft they
rang for the cage to stop so that several
articles might be thrown into a COM
partment. Dickmon and Champion
were leaning with their backs against
the wall plates and their feet on the
cage. Suddenly without warning the
cage began to 60 UP. The feet Of the
two men were thrown upward in an
instant, and both slipped backward be-
tween the cage and the timbers. Cham
pion caught one of the braces Of the
cage and saved himself, but Dickmon
fell the |, 800 feet to the bottom of the
shaft. johnson says that when Dick
mon was falling he uttered not word,
but gave him a look that he will never
forget till his dying day. When his
body was recovered by the men working
below it was mangled beyond the possi-
bility of recognition. The left arm and
right leg were severed from the trunk,
the abdomen was shockingly lacerated
and the head was utterly annihilated
The. body was gathered up piece by
piece and placed in sack, in which it
was carried to the surface. The acci-
dent was brought about by .blunder
on the part of the engineer at the mouth
Of the shaft.

A Morphine Eafer,s PET.

A lady offered 800 reward for the re-
covery of a pet white rat in Syracuse
IN. 7. paper. The reporters learned
that she was a morphine eater, and on a
visit to her father, q respectable gentle
man Of Syracuse. The drug was taken
to allay pain. After her arrival, when
under the influence Of opium, the pet rat
fell out of the bosom of her dress, where
she was in the habit of carrying it, and
was killed by market men. The lady
said she could not sleep till she had an
other pet rat, and started for New York
toobtain one. Her father says the rat
was perfectly tame and devoted to its
mistress, who is rational upon all other
subjects except this pet and morphine or
opium. She said she was robbed OF
valuable rings while under the influence
of the drug, but added: l can buy more
rings but will give $500 to regain my
darling rat

A Trick Of the ClairYoHants.

In drawing out the facts of personal
or family history, clairyoyants do not
always ask direct questions, but rather
make statements with an implied inter-
rogation, to which the victim, often
times entirely unconsciously, responds
by word or look or gesture, or perhaps
by all three; and, at a later stage of the
interview, these secret facts are artfdlly
given back to the victim, who has no
recollection of having previously i'm
parted them, and will not believe he has
done so, but prefers to believe that he is
in the presenceof divinity NJ.
1t is not only possible but easy for a
practical adept to draw out in this way
minute and elaborate details OF secret
family history A few years ago, while
connected with one of the public insti-
tutions of this city, | made number of
experiments in this line. | told the
patients afflicted with various forms of
nervous and allied disorders not to tell
me about their symptoms, nor give me
any facts in their cases, but to let me
tell them; and then / would proceed to
indicate, after the manner of clairvov-
ant, the locality of their maladies and
the history of their troubles. In the
majority of cases / was successful, and
made out the diagnosis to the satisfac-
ton of those who sought my advice,
and with good reason, for nothing that
could do prevented them from telling
me, although asked them no questions !;
unintentionally and unconsciously, they
would guide me at every stage of the in
terview. By little practice any one
could easily acquire this art; and long
study, such as professional clairvoyants
bestow upon this subject, develops great
skill in thus managing and deluding the
unwary and pert.-Scri6ner.

Little by Little.

One step and then another,
And the longest walk is ended;
One stitch and then another,
And the largest rent is mended;
Onebri upon another,
And the highest wall is made;
One fake upon another,
And the deepest snow is laid.
So the little ceral-workers,
BY their slow but constant motion,
Have built those pretty islands
In the distant dark-blue ocean;
And the noblest undertakings
Mans wisdom has conceived,
By oit-repeated efforts
Have been patiently achieved.
Then do not look disheartened
q Ger the work you have to do,
And say that such mighty task
You never can get through;
But Just endeavor day by day
Another point to gain,
And soon the mountain which you feared
VIII prove to be plain.
"Rome was not builded in day."
The ancient proverb teaches;
AID nature, by her trees and flowers,
The same sweet sermon breaches.
Think not of far-of duties,
But of duties which are near;
And having once begun TO work,
Resolve to persevere.
