A Portuguese Heroine.

A correspondent of the Pail Mall
Gazette ct Lisbon vouches for the truth
of the following narrative, which he
translates from the Diari0 de Noticias:
At the distance of one kilometre from
the village of Fratel, near Niza-i. e.,
on the frontier of Spain and Portugal,
near the town of Portalegre-Therts /
Maria, who was carrying her husband e
dinner to him in the fields, was told by
little shepherd boy that wolf was
prowling about the place.
Wishing to see one for the first time
in her life, she put down her basket
and climbed up to high place to
which the boy directed her. There
she saw the animal in the act of devour.
ing lamb.
The shepherd boy began shouting
and throwing stones, to see whether
it would let go its prey, and the wolf,
in it's fury, then attacked the poor little
fellow, jumping up at his face, tearing
the flesh from his jaws and throwing
him upon the ground.
The woman, seeing the boys immi-
nent danger, in an impulse of heroic
self-devotion, ran on the wolf wholly
unarmed, seized tight hold of him, and
then, after struggle, contrived to
blind him with stone, and eventually
killed him.
Meanwhile, the boy whom she had
rescued ran, wounded as he was, to seek
help in the village. While several of
the villagers were coming up, armed
with guns, stones and sticks, to kill the
beast and save the woman from it's
fangs. she was returning to the village
covered with blood, and with her arms,
hands and face terribly wounded.
She said that at times she was on the
point OF being overcome, but contrived
to keep the animals throat in the close
hold Of her left arm, while hitting him
hard on the head with a stone which
she was able to pick up. She was taken
to the Mia hospital.
It is with regret that all will read
what have now unfortunately to add
that exactly q month afterward the
poor creature died there of her wounds.
She has left eight children, six of
whom are very young, and distracted
husband to mourn her loss; but she
found comfort in her last sufferings,
and under the pain of such a parting,
from the recollection that she had given
her life for another. The English and
Portuguese have sent some G22 as q
small consolation to poor and indus
trious family who have to mourn u no.
BILE heart taken from them.
In a postscript, written two days
later, the correspondent says: Il am
sorry indeai fO have tn add IN tho
narrative that the little shepherd boy
for whom the brave woman sacrificed
her life is dead also. She was allowed
to console her dying hours with the be-
lief that she had persisted in saving a
life. But it was not to be so. The poor
child died in the terrible suferings of
hydrophobia. Besides the subscrip.
ton raised on behalf of the bereaved
husband and the orphans, another has
very properly been started to erect a
monument at Mia, so that such deed
may not be forgotten"

The PATRIOT SPY.-Captain Hale was
Just of age when he was hanged in New
York for being found within the British
lines with important information con-
corning the English force and plans in
his possession. He was native of Gov
entry, Conn.,, and was born in ITS.
Educated at Yale College, he was a
teacher in New London, with the ulti-
mate purpose Of entering the ministry,
when the news came from Boston of
the battle of Lexington. He was one
of the first to enlist few hours after
the news was received, and he encour-
aged others to enlist. us march
Immediately" he is on record as say
ing, "and never lay down our arms un-
til we obtain our independence" The
next morning the New london COM
pany we're on the road to Boston. Some
years ago an effort was made to induce
Congress to make an appropriation for
a monument to Hale's memory. 1t was
unsuccessful. Then the women OF his
native town, Coventry, with the aid OF
small sum granted by the State Of
Connecticut, collected money enough
to erect monument. 1t is simple
granite shaft, forty feet high; it bears
his name and the dates and places OF
birth and death, and his dying words

The New York Tribune says: The
most striking feature Of the will Of the
Prince Imperial is the strong pride in
the name of Napoleon and the real faith
in the cause. He urges his mother to
remember that so long as there are
Bonapartists the Imperial cause will
have a representative, and that the line
will not end with him. He adjures her
to defend the memory Of his great uncle
and his father, and expresses a hope
that the time may come when the bodies
of the three Napoleons may rest to-
gether in the tomb now tenanted alone
by the founder OF the family.

First Look In u Mirror.

The effect which the sudden seeing of
themselves rs others see them had upon
several Siamese women is narrated by
lady.
A few weeks ago company of Siam
csc women came to see me and to look
ut my house. They consider it great
etreat if 1 invite them through my
rooms, and let them look at my bed, my
tables, my chairs, my pictures and
nick-nacks, and especially if they can
on my bureau.
One or two of those who came had
been here before, and they were telling
of how they looked in the glass, till the
others were all anxious to see too, so
they gathered in q crowd and stood be-
fore the mirror.
One quick look, and then surprised,
startled cry, and some of them hid
their faces, others jumped away, and
some looked about to see who was
really there.
They had never seen themselves be-
fore, and did not know how miserably
they looked, with their black teeth and
naked bodies. They drew their scarf
over their breasts, and tried to hide
from the sight of themselves.
One turned and said to me, eve are
very hateful-looking don't you think

did not tell them 1 had always
thought so, but I said,-
"Now, since you know how you look,
is it any wonder that we always tell you
to wear more clothes, and to quit chew.

Some of them would not be induced
to look the second time, while others
stood and stared.
PICKING GEEsE.-Picklng should be
done in close room or every breath
OF air will scatter the feathers and
down. Having taken up your bird,
draw long stocking over its head and
down on the neck to prevent its wreak-
ing its vengeance on you by its merci-
less biting.
: The wings are formidable weapons, al
so. and must be held or their blows will
leave many black and blue mark as evil
dence of their power. Pick when the
quill of the feather is ripe, that is, clear;
while the feathers are developing the
quill is filled with bloody matter, which
shows their unfitness of picking. When
picking take all the small feathers, leav-
ing all the large ones, except four or five
under each wing, which must be left to
keep the wings from dropping. Take off
the down only in warm weather. The
number OF times to pick geese in a
season depends upon the climate. The
rale we have given above will enable
any one to determine when the feathers
will do to pluck. Keep the geese in a
warm place when they are out of wafer,
II the weather IS cool after picking.
The young goslings might be picked
when their feathers are grown and ripe,
and yet grow out in full in time for
fattening for the holiday market. The

a Hitch Between Officials.


The District Commissioners and the account.
ing officers at the Treasury Department are at
loggerhcads again about the same old trouble
of rendering accounts. Comptroller Porter
notified the Commissioners few days ago that
no more money would be advanced until they
settled their accounts, and then they had
$4,000 to their credit on the Treasurer's books
The school teachers, having been paid IN
checks went TO the Treasury last Saturday to
draw the money. Everything worked smoothly
until the funds gave out, and then came a ilut-
ter and excitement among the ladies, which
the teller found difficult to pacify Later in
the day qn arrangement was made by which
the Commissioners had $4,000 placed to their
credit, and the remaining checks will be hon
ored to-day. Before another payday rolls
rognd it is to be hoped that the Commissioners
and Treasury officials will have settled the
disputed points now existing and cease giving
annoyance to parties not responsible for their
troubles.
