A Gull Story.
Nv ilmingtnn Star. ]

A strange incident occurred Oh
board CT the hghtship off FRYING
Pas Shoals. During the prevail
ence of the severe storm Of the
12.h of September last, after the
darkness of night had set In, rem
dered doublv gloomy and torbidiug
by the howliEs; tempest that thur
dered through tho rigging, broke
with violence over the stanch
vessel, sent the salt spray III phos-
phorescent clouds over the very
masuheads, one vi the seamen Wa.
leaning his elbow upon the port
rail of the ship, watching the storm
as it ragged IN all its grandeur and
subllmlty, when a large black bird
dashed through the binding mist
and lit upon the railing near
where he was standing. He took
the bird, which proved to be an
ordinary sea-gull. all wet aud
drabbled by the storm, and WAL med
and dried 1t i'll his BOSOM, after
which he placed 1t i'll u little bed
lmprovIsed for the occasion, after
first feeding II, rs if it had been Il
little child. The next morning the
storm having subsidized, our seaman
turned the bird loose, of course
with no expectation Of ever seeing
II again. Very much to his sur
p re, lowev.r, on the.very next
NIGHT, at about the same hour Of
lis previous visit, the gull again
put i'll its appearance, alightlug
upon the rail If the ship as before,
when it was fed, caressed aud cared
for as on the occasion of it's first
call, aud from that time to the 9tn
lust, nearly two months, when the
latest Information was received
from the ship, the bird bad cou-
tinued It's nightly visits and had
been regularly fed and consigned
to its little bed" where it would
remain until released the next
morning. This is no fancy sketch
or draft upon the Imagination,
but it is an "o'er true tale" from Il
source entirely reliable aud trust
worthy.

LeprOsy in Lafourche.

There is question that fire.
qnently comes up for discussion
among citizens of Lafoarche, that
is assuming such proprotio ions that
it cannot be ignored much longer
with safety. That question is the
incnrable and horrible one of lep-
rosy. Some twenty years ago, as
our information runs, a person at
tackled with this disease settled on
the lower portion of Bayou La
fourche, which has spread among
the people until now there are
thought to be very nearly if not
fifty lepers in Lslfourche.
This horrible disease has been
one of the pests that have affli ted
mankind from time immemorial,
but which has never been preva-
lent enough in ANY one portion of
the United Ststes to excite any Be-
rious apprehensions. But at this
moment 1t is beginning to become q
serious matter TO the residents IN
tins part Of the State.
Our Representatives, to the Leg
islature should braug this question
up before that body at its next SEES
sion, in order to have an investiga-
ton, and if found necessary for flu
ture safety to iuaugurate steps to
eradicate that disease entirely from
the parish and the State. There
was said to be one case in this
town.-Thibodeaux Sentinel.

Yesterday as a citizen of Wood

smith to elevate a smokejack to
the roof of AN addition Oh the windy

to hoisting it atop of smoking

bundle under his arm came along,
halted. and soon came deeply in

Piled the citizen.
"And you wants to stop the

"Yes, l do"
Sand You think that smoke jack
will stop it?'
II hope SO"
"Well, now, I kin stop that
in ten rninits, and / won't hurt

he laid down his bundle.
IF you'll do it III give yon FIVE
dollars" rejoined the citizen. who
disliked the idea of disfguring his
chimney with the clumsy jack.
"Kin have tie kitchen for Ave
minutes 7" asked the man.
Yes"
The cook was instructed to va
cate and the old man took posses
sion. Removing the top Of the
stove he poured in enough water
TO put out every spark Of the five.
Then going out he cali to the
citizen on the roof:
"Has she stopped smokingl"
."Well, L don't see any smoke at

we hardly know which way to turn
or in which direction to look for
aid. No man or woman lives to
middle life without seeing some

come to the heart. Dear ones are

A Revival in kissing.

In the course of human events,
says the Philadelphia Times, Il
girl is certain to be kissed more OF
less-probably more-but it isn't
always that the fact gets before y
court and i'll newspapers, for all
that. Such things do happen
-ometimes, however, to the ever
lasting disgrace of men who 90
about kissing the wrong girl.
More than 4 year ago Thomas
Epply. of Lycoming County, kissed
Delilah Boswell. Della was bend
ing over wash tab at the time
doing the Boswell family wash, and
didn't think much about the mat
ter. 1t was an exceedingly lucky
thing for Thomas, because it would
be very much like any other girl
Infatuated with kiss to pour soap
suds over the offender or duck him
III the tub. After year, however,
Delilah suddenly revived the mem
CRY of the kiss in all its dreadful
details, suddenly blnshed, suddenly
grew awfully indignant, and in an
impetnous sort Of IA way concluded
to prosecute the man who had
taken the kiss, for damages. The
case came before the court Of quar-
ter sessions at Williamsport a few
days ago, and the jury-having
been around the wash-tub itself
some in it's time. probably decided
that Thomas was not guilty, and
that Delilah should pay the cost
This is a decision that decides, and
it is not only Il warning to pre-
cipitate young women who get in
dignant at nothing year after it
happens, but it gives kissing a fair
chance to revive along with the
threatened revival of general bnsi-
uess. The Lycoming County jury
has done the civilization of the age
a priceless service in asserting q
mans right to hat kiss, and plen-
ty of it.
