A DISTINGUISHED Foreigner.

About a year ago.tMessrs. Charles
Reiche and brother brought five chin
panzees to the New York aquarium, of
which only one remains. Recently, an
other arrived from Central Africa, and
there was much curiosity to see how the
two creatures would act at their first
meeting.
When the stranger was put in the
cage, Tommy" the old inhabitant,
looked at him for a moment with some
little distrust, then he approached nearer,
and after a little hesitation threw one
arm over his shoulder in a manner that
was almost human.
They looked in each others eyes with
serious faces, and then, clasping their
long arms about each other, embraced.
Then they separated, and Tommy" ex-
tended his hand, which the newcomer
took and shook. Then Tommy" offered
the courtesies of his cage to the new
conner, gave him a part of his blanket
and the remains of his dinner.
When the new arrival was given his
first bath, he objected strongly, and
fought against soap and water and brush
and comb like an obstinate child, while
Tommy" looked OF in apparent glee.
At ten o'clock at night, the new CHM
panzee was wrapped up in his blanket,
sleeping soundly. and Tommy" with
his blanket pulled up over his shoulders,
sat n few feet away, watching him with
great solicitude.

To Preserve Health.

Never lean with the back against an y
thing that is cold.
Meyer begin a journey until breakfast
has been eaten.
Never take warm drinks and then i'm
mediately 20 out in the cold air.
Keep the back-especially between the
shoulder blades-well covered; also the
chest well protected. ,.,
In sleeping in cold rooms, establish
the habit of breathing through the nose,
and never with the mouth open.
Never 90 to bed with cold or damp
feet; always toast them by a fire ten or
fifteen minutes before going to bed.
Never omit regular bathing, for, un-
less the skin is in activec ondition, the
cold will close the pores, and favor con-
gestion or other diseases. =.
When hoarse, speak as little rs posi-
bic until recovered, else the voice may
be permanently lost, or difficulties of the
throat produced.
Merely warm the back by a fire, and
never continue keeping the back exposed
to heat after it has become comfortably
warm. To do otherwise is facilitating.
When going from n warm atmosphere
into a colder one, keep the mouth closed,
so that the air may be warmed by its
passage through the nose ere it reaches
the lungs.
Never stand still in cold weather, es-
pecially after having taken a slight de-
gree of exercise; and always avoid
standing upon ice or snow, or where the
person is exposed to a cold wind.

A TrOika Party in Russia.

A correspondent, writing from St.
Petersburg, says: This is the season for
troika parties. l had the pleasure of be-
ing invited to n party which was given
for of the distinguished foreign visit
ors at the winter palace. There are, by
the way, 5000 people, including servants,
now staying at the palace. A troika is a
vehicle which | do not suppose is ever
seen out Of Russia. 1t has two seats OPP
positc each other, each wide enough to
hold three persons. There is n tiny box.
into which the driver squeezes by climb
ing over the horses. These latter are
harnessed in n very peculiar way. One
in the middle is fastened to n pair OF
shafts. and he trots, while on each side
is 81 kind of Independent horse, who gal
lops. There are bells on the harness, and
one is supposed to spin along at therate
of something like twenty miles an hour:
Once outside the city, with a clear road
ahead of him, the coachman emits q Sc
ries of warwhoops, and starts the horses
off at q sweeping pace, while the occu-
pants Of the sleigh keep him up to his
work by yelling ut him at intervals. l
supposed they were calling him very
bad names, and was quite surprised
when it was translated to find the fol-
lowing endearing epithets had been used:
go. on, MY dove" go on, my
beauty !" and so on. The troika parties
generally 90 about half IN hours ride
from the city, and there they all take a
turn at the ice hills. When / stood ut
the top of the hill and looked down that
smooth precipice of ice, my heart failed
me, but:I was not allowed to back out,
and with many misgivings l got on the
sled and pitched off the incline. There
was q man who went behind on skates
and guided US. / remember to nave
dreamed once that I was falling down a
bottomless abyss, and certainly Thought
the dream was being realized In the few
seconds it took me to descend that hill.
Such a horrible feeling of goneness us
came over me I hope never to feel again.
Yet people do this for pleasure! 1t is
like reading accounts of murders; there
is q horrible sort Of fascination about it.
In any. case, it is the proper thing to 90
down the ice hills when one goes on a
troika party so, of course, we did it.
Then we all went into q sort Of restau-
rant, and after taking some hot tea we
listened to the songs of the Bohemians
and watched them dance, wondering how
they all happened to be so ugly. For sup
per we had many national dishes. One
was a soup made Of beets, which rejoiced
in the name of "batchuk," .or something
like that, and afterward we had bear
steaks and asparagus. The coming home
was the most delightful part of the ex-
cursion. Rushing through the air with
only the sleighbells and gay voices to
break the utter stiffness around us, tue
snow fields stretching away on either
side, the stars shining brightly about us,
and finally the Neva, across which we
sped. the long row Of lights up and down
the river on the side of the city, thede-
serted streets, and then home and a dis
tant clock striking five.

BY the Sea.
Ny hus-sysd pet with golden hi .

Ny hus-sysd pct with golden hi.
Is.sittins on my knee,
And gazes eagerly afar,
Across the beach, beyond the bar,
Where rolls the restless sea.
She puts her little hand in mine.
And laughs with childish giee.
To see the ioamirg pillows splash,
AS on the shore they flcIccly dash,
And glide back silently.
Bat while she laughs 80 merrily.
My heart is fur away;
And, rs look upon the shore.
Where load and long the breakers roar.
My sad soul seems to say:
The sea is like II human lite:
1t breaks upon the shore
o1ime. with Il rcsistlc>s might.
And. when the goal is just in sight.
Dies-to return no more.
And all along the shore of time.
Full many 4 wreck doth lie:
The pangs Of many a mad carouse.
Cfblnstcd hopes and broken vows.
Ofllappy days gone by.
Vet. while | muse in mourniul mood,
And gaze upon the sea.
My blne-eyed pet with golden hair,
Whose heart has never known u cafe,
Whose voice is music in the air.
Still sits upon my knee.
Her head is resting on my breast
Her eyes in slu.nbcr deep;
The same rough sea whose breakers roa
And inndly, ticrccly lash the shore,
Has lulled my child to sleep.

and others who had letters to mail, that
Postmaster Pyle had caused to be erected

depot, one for letters going south aud
the other for letters going north. The
keys TO the boxes are in the possession
of the mail agents on the mail trans.
Notwithstanding the convenience, the
arrangement to certain degree Is an in
convenience.
Persons who have letters for Balti-
more that they desire to reach that city
during the morning, should not place
them in the mail X at the depot All
letters placed in there previous 20 the
Delaware train, leaving at 0.15 a. M,
are carried down the Delaware railroad
and are sent back to this city on the
train arriving at LAG. The letters are
then sent down on the 1888 train and
do not arrive in Baltimore until some
time during the afternoon. The reason
assigned for this Is that there is only
one mail agent on the $50 Baltimore
mail, and he cannot leave the car u
sort the letters IN the mail box at the
depot. Persons who desire their letters
to reach Baltimore during the morning
should deposit them at the post Office.
