Honors to the Brave A Goose Story.

On Wednesday an interesting fight
between two geese was witnessed in
vacant lot on Summer street, near South
Union. A flock of geese were engaged
in extracting from large 1nud-hole
such delicacies as are relished as food
by that festive bird, when a strange
goose made his appearance and began
quietly grubbing, evidently deeming the
mud-hole common property. For some
time the appearance of this stranger
was not noticed, but at last one of the
geese looked up and beheld the intrud-
er, and, walking to his companions,
seemed to communicate the intelligence
to them. A short consultation was held,
and one of the number approached the
intruder, and, as subsequent actions
proved, extended challenge for COM
bat. This challenge was promptly &C
copied, and the two began to fight, all
the geese surrounding the two cackling
fercely. For a period OF about ten
minutes the warfare was waged fiercely,
and at the end of that time the intruder
began to press his antagonist so hard
that he took refuge in fight. The in
truder, after following his opponent
short distance, returned to the specta-
tors and was received by them in ST.
lence. He raised his wings and strut
ted round, cackling all the time. The
whole crowd then followed the van
pushed goose, kissing and striking at
him with their mouths, and forcing him
away. The victorious intruder was
taken into full membership, their for
mer companion being banished. The
process of grubbing in the mud-hole
was then resumed with unwonted activ-
ity.-N0shUdlle (Te1a1a.) An,erjca11.

Collins as Souvenirs.

The body of the late Louis Napoleon
was brought to England in three COT
fins, the innermost one being of African
oak. This was inclosed by one of lead,
and both were protected by strong
chest painted black. The three were
left at Woolwich on the removal
of the body in a new coffin to
Chilelhurst. After the funeral they
were carefully taken to pieces, and
packed for preservation in large box.
Every piece was jealousy guarded, and
not a screw or a chip was lost. The
box was placed in an ambulancesswagon
and taken to Chiselhurst, NJ. Pietrie
and Baron Corvisart following in a pri-
vate carriage. The contents will be
distributed as souvenirs.
In another box was placed quantity
of South African grass, in which the
body had been laid, together with some
other discarded material. The whole
was then taken to one of the forging
furnaces and thrust in. In few mo.
ments not vestige of it remained.

The Products of Indigestion.

Inability of the stomach to act upon the food
is productive of serious and speedy mischief to
the entire bodily economy. The circulation
mes ana an grows poor pao
supervene; but, worse than this, the functions
associated with and dependent upon digestion,
sucl' as evacuation and the secretion of bile,
grow irregular. and the organs whose business
It'll to discharge those functions become badly
disordered. This disastrous state of things is
more readily and thoroughly rectifed with
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters than any known
medicinal agent. The stomach being invigor-
ated. the life giving principles of the blood are
increased, the system properly nourished, lean
ness and debility overcome and the bowels and
liver thoroughly and promptly regulated.

PRESENCE OF MIND.
How It's Possession by an Old Lady Saved
Her Life.

Her Life.
from the Long Prairie Mimi August
Peter Horner, of the town of Ward,
who committed suicide on Friday even
ing, was single man of about 80 years
of age, and lived on claim for the4last
seven years with Mrs. Dunkin, with
whom he had lived since he was boy,
and who is 50 years of age. They were
preparing to retire about 9 o'clock in
the evening, when he told Mrs. Dunkin
that their time had come to die-that
they must go that night or the next,
and that it might as well be then as
any time. She saw at once that he was
not in his right mind, and with great
presence of mind quietly informed him
that she would step over to Mr.. Sarif's 5,
their nearest neighbor, and get the
boys to sing awhile. He told her he
did not want the boys there that even
ing, and, before she could get away, he
drew an ak over her head, ard was
about to strike her dead. She uttered
prayer for aid, and he turned and
looked behind him, and at the same
time she slipped away from him. In a
moment he followed her, holding the
ak behind him. She asked: "Peter,
what have you behind you?" He an
swered: Nothing; let us 60 into the
house, She readily assented, and they
both started for the door, but she took

Of small out-building, and, as soon as
this was between them, she crossed a
yard-fence into field of oats, and crept
dowa into the grain as we'll as she
could, and listened for a short time,
thinking he would search for her.
While waiting she heard noise near
the house, followed by a groan, and it
is supposed that then is when he took
his life. Mrs. Dunkin, still retaining
her presence of mind in remarkable
degree, took off white handkerchief
which she wore around her neck and a
light apron which she had on, fearing
that they might betray her in the gath
ering twilight, and then made the best

went to the house and found poor

doorstep, rigid in death, with large

The Spread Of Nihilisln.

A letter from st. Petersburg which
has been received here says that people
in Europe have no idea of the develop
ment and power Of the Nihiist organi-
zation. For instance, it is a mistake to
believe it is superficial movement, and
that it has not taken deep root in the
Russian nation. It is true that the
chiefs come from the middle classes,
and it is significant fact that these
men should discover no other means of
obtaining liberty than that of force. A
plan has been hit upon and already ap-
piled for long time of propagating
their doctrines among the masses, and
more especially among the peasantry,
under the very eyes of the police, with
out awakening suspicious. Their sys-
tenn is this: None of their PROSECUTING
agents are allowed at first either to show
that they are skillful workmen or pro-
fess to understand agricultural matters.
Poorly clad, these men are sent to settle
in t-of-the-way villages to work there
at their trade for years without giving
the least hint as to what is the bent of
their political principles. They are ex-
tremely diligent at work, and preach, by
word and example, the greatest modera-
ton, especially in respect to the use of
intoxicating liquors, and usually marry
in the place. It is only when they have
thoroughly established their position
and gained q certain amount of infu-
ence over their neighbors that they be-
gin slowly and unostentatiously to pro-
mulgate their doctrines. It is asserted
that in this manner q net has been
spread over the whole of the Russian
empire, the meshes Of which are ever
thickening, so that it is even now i'm
possible to say how deeply this Nihilist
organization has taken root in the land,
and how widespread is it's development.
Naturally, the preference is given to
those places far from any of the great
thoroughfares and railways The Nj
hilists, with prudent foresight, have
chosen for their principal field OF action
those places which are the least liable
to the supervision of the political agents
of the Government. It is thus that
silently this active revolutionary party
proceeds with it's development, which
sooner or later must end in an irresisti-
BILE eruption. For the present it only
produces spasmodic outbreaks, ending
in high-handed and arbitrary repres-
sion. which only increases the evil in
stead of DISCRIMINATING it. The Nihilists
arrested already number tens of thou
sands.-Par5s Cor. London Standard.

EDWIN BOOTH.
The Great Tragedian Going to England

The Great Tragedian Going to England.
From the New York Tribunel
The most important and interesting
theatrical news that has reached us in
many day is the news that Edwin
Booth intends to act in London, and
that negotiations are even now in prog
ress, between Henry Irving and him
self, with view to his appearance IN
that city. Edwin Booth is our greatest
tragedian. He is in the prime of life /;
he has been thirty years an actor; his
name is associated with some of the
noblest dramatic undertakings that
ever were attempted; he has been of in
calculable benefit to the STAGE. equally
by his pure life, high principled con-
duct, dignity, integrity, and rare genius !;
he never has had an equal on the Amer
lean stage in Hamlet or in Richelieu he
stands alone in those characters which
are colored with romantic weirdness,
and of which the central attribute is
spiritual pathos; he has been accepted
in larger repertory of great characters
than any contemporary actor has even
attempted; and he is better actor to-
day than at any previous period of his
life. Edwin Booth on the London
stage, accordingly, will be very prom
inent and significant figure for he will
illustrate to the British public not
alone his own genius and accomplish
ments, but the condition of American
taste and scholarship with reference to
the drama in it's highest branches
That public has already seen our
greatest comedian. Jefferson, and has
awarded to him even higher rank
than was claimed for him here-not
hesitating to name him with the best
artists of the best school in France.
When it has seen Edwin Booth it will
fully understand to what degree of ex-
cellence the art of acting has been car
ried in the New World Mr.. Booth.
will go over next spring, and it is not
unlikely that Mr.. Irving, little later
in the same year, will make his long
contemplated visit to America.
Mr.. Booth acted in London in Sep
tember, 1861, under Buckstone's man
agement, in the Haymarket- appearing
DIS Ouy1Ock, OLE 'UlloS OVoTTedCu anu
Richeieu-and subsequently in Liver
pool and Manchester; but that was
eighteen years ago, in war time! Tt
will be very different now. Mr.. Booth
should-and we.confdently believe he
will-play great engagements in London
and the principal cities of the kingdom,
and afterwards in Paris and the dramatic
centers of Germany. His standard
repertory now includes Hamlet, King
Lear, Othello, Iago, Macbeth, Shylock,
Wolsey, Richard H., Richard III, Ben
edick, Petruchio, Richelieu. Paynes
Brutus, Bertuccio in the "The FOOLS
Revenge Ruy Bias and Don Caesar de
Bazan, and this list could be considera
bly, extended. It is an extraordinary
thing that any actor should have
attained to an even degree of excellence
in such wide variety of great charac-
ters. Mr.. Booth has done this-and, in
several of them, has risen to q lonely
pinnacle of eminence, peerless and in
comparable.
