a STORY ABOUT DIsaAEG1.-Thorei is
new story, Of which Beaconsaeld was
the hero while At Berlin. Tho hotel had
orders to place two beds in his room ,
soriewhdt to the hotels surprise, rs the
Prime Minister was known to be wid-
over. The servants of the hotel were
curious to know what use he would make
of the two beds, and during the first night
In which he occupied his room they made
the key hole the point of their observa-
tions. Bat the mystery was unsolved !;
rather it deepened into a darker one still
when the ehambermaid discovered the
next morning that both beds had been
occupied. Who could his room mate be q?
The searchers for the truth took their po-
sition at the door tho next night, and
more Fortunate than before, found an APP
erture in the door through which they
could watch developments within. Eng
lands Minister was lying calmly in one
OF tho teds reading the other was unoc-
cupied as yet. A quarter Of an hour
later 'hey made secord reconnaissance
Ihis time they were more successful, and
were more surprised than they had even
anticipated at the scene before thom Uis
Lordship was still reading. but in the
other bed. The explanation was disan-
p'intedly plain. On account Of the hen,

ADULTERATED SUGAR - a well-
known New York chemist assured a
World reporter the other day that 1t
could not be long at this rate when peo-
pie who use much sugar will be supplied
with tin lining to their stomachs. He
exhibited to the reporter several thin
sheets Of tin which he had extracted from
sugar. He said some of the adulterators
bought tin by the ton. 1t is cut with
muriatic acid. and used in both sugar and
sirups. He also exhibited samples Of
glucose, of which 25 to 80 per cent. is
used in sugars and rs per cent. in sirups.
Poor starch and -four are also used.
These adulterated sugars produce skin
diseases.

CLARA NORRIS at ono time was
playing Camille" in a Cincinnati
!heater. In the last net " Camille "
rises from her lounge and stoggsrs to
the minor. She regards her sunken
checks and wasted form, and says !:
tAh how changed | am. The doctor
has promised TO cure me. l will have
patience" While speaking these lines
tho actress was horrifed t. see in the
mirror the reflection OF n cat purring
but few feet behind her. She realized
that something must be done before tho
audience took in the situation, or the
entire effect o: the scene would bo lost
She turred shortly around, so as not to
frighten the cat, and took her in her
arms. She stroked her gently, and
with tears in eyes, exclaimed Poor
pussy how soft and warm is your
beautiful fur 1t is many weeks, is it
not, since | held you in my arms Z?
Some one else may soon take my place
And pussy you will not have your
mistress with yuu long" Win these
words she walked toward the wings and
set the cat free. The audience supposed
that she was only speaking the lines
of the play, and the scene passed off
| without any accident.

THE WALLED LAKE IN IowA.--The
greatest wonder in the State of Iowa,
and, perhaps, in any other State, is what
is called the "Walled Lake." in Wright
county, 12 m lies north of the Dubuque
and Pacific Railway, and $50 miles west
of Dubuque city. The lake is from two
to three feet higl er than the earlh's sur
face. In some places the Rall is ten feet
high, fifteen feet wide at the bottom, and
five feet wide on tho top. Another fact
is the size Of the stones used in construc-
ton, The whole Of them varying in weight
from three tons down to one hundred
pounds. There is an abundance Of slono
IN Wright county, but surrounding the
lake to the extent Of five or ten miles
there are none. No one can form an
idea MS to the means employed to bring
them to the spot or @hO constructed it.
Around tho entire lake is belt Of wood
land half mile in length, composed of
oak. Wi h this exception the country
is rolling prairie. The trees must have
been planted there Mt the time of build
ing the wall. In the spring Of the year
1856 thcre was n great storm, and the
ice on the lalo broke the wall in several
places, and the farmers in the vicinity
were obliged to repair damages to pre-
vert inundaton. The lake occupies II
ground surface of 2 800 ocres; depth Of
water as great as 25 feet. The water
is clear and cold; soil sandy and
Ioomy. 1t is singular that no one has
been able to ascert in where it goes, yet
it is always clear and fresh.-DuJuY1e

THOUSANDS OF MENNoNITEs Con-
ING.-It is anticipated that this year will
see the greatest immigration into this
country Of Mennonitcs that has yet taken
place. Some time ago ukase was Civ
en- out By the Gar of Russia that the
Mennonites were to be exempt from mil
tary services until 1880. As they arc a
peaceful people, holding views akin to
the Quakers, they have ever since been
coming TO this country by thousands.
They universally rent farms in the south
of Russia and are sometimes wealthy. In
1876 twenty families that landed at CAS-
tie Garden were worth together $50, 900.
As this is the Mennoniles' l-st year of
exemption from Iitary life in RUSSIA,
multltudcs of them arc preparing to come
hither. They are selling off their stock
and purchasing tickets for this country
1t is expected that at least IL, 600 Memo
mites will land at Castle Garden before
May next.-N. y. sun.

THE CHEF OF THE MoDocs.-We
stopped at the edge Of the field 10 feed
our horses, and at our invitation Bogus
Charley came out and we talked with
him about the present condition and
prospects of the tribe. He speaks Eng
lish quite well and understands readily
ordinary conversation. Like all the
Indians we saw, he seemed shy and 81
lent. answering our questions freely but
making no conversation himself. He
told us there were l55 in the party that
came here ITO the Inl ian territoryl in
1873, but that they had dwindled now by
death to 100. In answer to our inquiry
ifthoy were contented, he said, sadly,
"Oh, we'll, / expect we stay here now.
We no get back" "But don't yoG like
IT here?" mo, VIC not like it," he said.
"Too many die. We come here one
hummer fifty fve-we only one hummer
now. All over there" and he pointed
To the burial place over on the hillside
half n mile away. There was an exquis-
ite tenderness in his way OF saying this,
and his 'only one hummer now" was so
full OF gentleness and gravity and though
he plainly did not aim at any effect be-
yond answering US, he did really touch
the feelings of us all. Then when we
asked him if he wanted TO go back to his
old home among the lava beds, his eye
Just frightened little and turned west
ward with the far-away look Of home
sickness and longing, and he said, g es,
] ike to go back; my sister there, my
friend there.n l was much interested
in this chief, Bogus Charley. Other In
dians complained or begged, were sullon
or naughty; either posed or groyclliag.
This man with felt hat, blue shirt and
overals, without bead or feather or n
touch Of color, an utterly uEheroic per
son in appearance, with no effort at dis
play or attempt to excite sympathy or
admiration, seemed to me great, great in
the simplicity of his talk, his unstudied
eloquence, his profound natural patEos,
his dignity without haughtiness and
grace without afIectation, and greatest Of
all in the phiIosophic resignation with
which he accepted his fate with hardly n
murmur or complaint. As ho stood
there on little emincnco overlooking
the corn fields, his arms folded and his
little figure limned against the sky, not
looking at us as we drove away, it was
not difficult to picture in him heroic
Last Of the Modocs. He had said little,
but the tone and manner OF what be did
say so impressed me that for while !
did feel as though this man represented
an hggrieved and despoiled race, and
that l, as representative Of the race that
had wronged him, had something 10 be
sorry for. N. Y. I1fdUHc.

it to the astonished customer, informing
him that between the time of purchase

KILLED BY A METEoR.- Leonilas
Grover, who resided in the vicinity of
Newton, Fountain County, Indiana, met
his death in q way that is probably with
out parallel in this or any other country.
Mr.. Grover was n widower, living on
lis farm with married daughter and
her husband. On the evening referred
to, the married couple had been on II
visit to some neighbors, and upon re
turning at a late hour. entering the house
found everything, TO all appearance, in
usual order, aad supposng that Mr..
Grover had already retired, went to bed
themselves. Next morning the daGeh-
ter arose, and having prep ared breakfast,
went To the adjoining room to call her
father, and was Mortified to find him lying
upon his shattered bed a mutilated corpse.
Her screams brought the husband quick
ly to tho bed room, and an inspection
disclosed ragged opening in the roof,
directly over the breast Of the up 'ortun-
ate man, which was torn through as ii
by a cannon shot, and extending down
ward through the bedding and floor; hol-
es showed the direction taken by the
deadly missile. Subseqent search re-
vealed the fact that the awful calamity
was caused by the fall ofa meteoric stone,
and the stone ITSELF weighing twenty
pounds and few ounces, avordupois,
and stained with blood, was unearthed
from depth of nearly FIVE feet, thus
showing the fearful impetus with which
it struck the dwelling. The position of
the corpse, with other surroundings when
found, showed that the victim was asleep
when stricken, and that death, to him,
was painless.
