Proud Ladies Driving q Cow.

Mr.. Nathan Lyon, of st. Paul, said
that Misses Emma Faber and Mary
Hendricks were too proud to stoop to
the duties of farmers daughters, and
promised them each a $50 silk dress il
they would drive or lead a COW through
the streets of the Minnesota metropolis.
Accordingly at high noon Miss Faber
took the COW in tow, with Miss Hen
bricks, armed with n broomstick, act
ing as rear-guard, and thus escorted
the animal down Third street and earn
ed their silk dresses. Another triumph
for fair woman.

The Evelina hospital in London,
founded in 1869 in honor Of his wife,
who died in 1868, by the Baron Ferdi-
nand de Rothschild for sick children,
was the scene of a very interesting fes-
tivity on the 18th inst. The poor little
inmates had their annual New Years
tree. Many We're able to run about
and themselves obtain the presents pro-
vided for them, while other little suff-
erers sat up In their beds in high de-
light surrounded by toys. Baron Fer
dinand himself was busy among them
distributing gifts and cheering the lit
tie people whose benefactor he has been
being assisted by many friends and by
the lady superintendent and nurse.

for any such sum-. Hunter endeavored
TO collect the money As soo a his vic
tim was dead, but before he obtained it
was arrested, convicted and executed.
Now Hunters brother and Armstrong;
family have made arrangements to en-
force the payment Of the s27, 200, or
perhaps to effect a compromise. The
companies will contest the claim by re-
fusing to pay anything. Armstrong;
brother holds that the companies, by
their culpable neglect to let Armstrong
know the facts, gave Hunter a motive
to commit the crime, and acted irregu-
lar in issuing policies for a sum much
greater than the Indebtedness. How
ever this may be, the result will be
awaited with Interest.

The proceedings were in German. Doctor Makk
said that the 80 600 Germans who reside in Newark
would do nothing to cause their countTymen in

he added we do not hinder the temperance and
religious people from observing the Sabbath, as
