Goldsmith Maid.

I gave $4,000 for her, and sold her
in about year-in '70-for $50, 1000. 1t
is hard to say what she would have
brought at her best. She has been
taken from the turf. She will have a
colt this month. who is the colt by?"
BY Gen. Washington, young stallion
of perfect form, great vigor, and fine
blood. He has the blood of old Lady
Thorne and Gen. Kentin his veins, and
was selected as the best partner for the
mare that could be found in tho world.
The colt will be worth $4,000 in gold
the day it is dropped. Of course, it will
be valuable; the world will look with
great interest to the performance of the
coming horse. If there is anything in
breeding, he will be wonderful. It was
not known whether the Maid would
breed or not, as she is % years old, but
when she was taken from the track a
gentleman offered to give 81 900 for the
chance of her breeding, and pay all her
expenses. Mr.. Smith, however, deter
mined to own the colt himself, and had
her put on his own breeding farm. The
colt will be born this month. She is az
vigorous, healthy and active as she ever
was.-Bxd Doble.

The aged lady who passed from life
in Baltimore few days ago, Nine. Pat
terson Bonaparte, was the heroine of as
romantic career as ever befell an
American belle. Married at the age of
10 to the youngest brother Of the great
Napoleon, she left her elegant home in
Baltimore, and as the wife of Jerome
Bonaparte became brilliant member
of Paris society. This was twelve years
before the battle of Waterloo, her hus-
band holding at that time position in
the army under his distinguished
brother. After Waterloo Nine. Patter-
son-Bonaparte attracted wide attention
in Paris from the most illustrious peo-
pie. Wellington admired her beauty,
Talleyrand complimented her, Nine. De
Stael called her lovely. She ever be-
heved that her husband, or some one of
her children, would become the ruler of
France, but he died before that day.
The age of Madame Bonaparte at death
was over 90 years.

AN extraordinary story is told con-
corning the late ruler of Afghanistan.
1t is said that the individual who has
been buried under the name of Shere
Ali is not the Ameer at all. Shere Ali
is not within that tomb. This story
comes from st. Petersburg. Shere Ais
death was wanted, and it was brought
about, or at least an event was which
was supposed to be that. The story
goes on to say that the real Ameer is at
the present moment confined in one OF
the very deepest mines of Siberia under
the name of Paul Volowski, criminal
lunatic, who Charters gibberish and fan
cies he is the Ameer of Afghanistan.

The cornerstone of a monument to
the Confederate dead was laid in CO.
lumbia, S. c., recently, and among the
many articles placed in the cavity were
some leaves cut from the day-book of
Hon. John Mckenzie, of date 1864,
showing the prices at which various ar
ticles sold at that time. Some of these
items are interesting; for instance, a
half-pound of candy was charged at
SO; seven oranges at $3.50; one
pound of hoarhound candy at SO; four
lemons at So; one dozen lady-fngers at
81; one-half pound of kisses at $1S;
three dozen apples at $12; one stick of
candy at so cents; one quart of chest
nuts al. 81; one pound mint drops at 500.

SERIOUS complaint is made in New
York city that correspondence from
this country to persons in Germany is
intercepted by the German authorities
and prevented from reaching its desti-
nation. Mr.. John Swinton, we'll
known author, journalist and Commun-
list, residing in New York, suspecting
that his letters were tempered with, in
stituted series of decoys in order to
establish the truth of his suspicious. OF
twenty marked letters sent to parties
in Germany Gas decoys), three only were
delivered to the parties addressed. The
supposition is that the German police
open, read and suppress the letters for
political reasons.

The census which is to be taken next

The census which is to be taken next
year will probably cost about 81 900, 900.
Many of the Western States have grown
so rapidly during the last decade that it
is necessary to determine their present
population in order to secure for them
an adequate representation in Con-
gress. Nebraska, for instance, proba-
bly, has to-day not far from 100000 in
habitants, and she sends only two mem
bers to Congress, while Tennessee, with
little more than three times that num-
Der of inhabitants, has ten members.
1t may also be mentioned concerning
Nebraska, that, while the average in
crease of the whole country in popula-
ton, from 1870 to 1880, is not expected
to be over % per cent, the increase in
that attractive commonwealth will, un-
questionably, be upward of 200 per
cent. The population of New York
will be about 100000, or within few
thousands of the population of the
United States in the first year of the
present century.

think that the Hector needed rather
more attention, and additional guns
were brought to bear upon her. Now
there were lively times on the Hec-
tors deck, and Tom found out what it
was to be in hot fight on board of o
ship.
But the boy was not frightened:
That was not his nature. He rushed
around, carrying orders and attending
to his duties, very much IA if he was
engaged in IA rousing good game Of
cricket.
While he was thus employed, plump
on board came bombshell. and fell al
most ut the foot Of the mainmast. The
fuse in il was smoking and fizzing. In
an instant more il would explode and
tear everything around il TO atoms
Several men were ut gun near by,
but they did not see the bomb. Their
lives were almost as good as gone.
The Captain stood Just back Of the
gun. He saw the smoking bomb, and
sprung back. Before he had time to
even shout Look Quit" along came
Tom. He was almost on the bomb be-
fore he saw il.
1t never took Tom long to make up
his mind. We have seen that. His
second thought always came up long
way after the first ones. He gave one
glance at the smoking fuse; he knew
that it was just about to explode, and
that it would kill everybody round
about, and he picked it up and hurled it
into the sea.
When the Captain saw Tom stoop,
and grasp that hot, heavy bomb in his
two hands; when he saw him raise it
up, with the fuse spluttering and fz-
zing close to his ear-where, if it had
exploded, it would have blown his head
into pieces no bigger than a pea-and
then dash it over the ships side, so that
the fuse was, of course, extinguished
the instant it touched the water, he was
80 astonished that he could not speak.
He made one step, a Warning cry was
on his lips, but, before he could say
word, it was all over.
When Tom turne d, and was about to
hurry away on the errand that had been
so strangely interrupted, the Captain
took him by the arm.
"My good fellow said he, and, al
though he had seen much service and
had been in many fight, the Captain
could not help his voice shaking little;
"my good fellow, do you know what you
have done?"
"Yes, SIR" said Tom, with smile, II
have spoiled a bombshell."
and every man in this part of the
ship owes you his ife," added the Cap
tain.
If you should ever meet Capt. Tom
Black, of her Majestys ship Singer,
you might ask him about this incident,
and he would probably tell you that he
has heard about it great deal himself,
and that he believes, from what hap
pened afterward, that the affair of the
bombshell was a very good thing for
him, but that it was all over so quickly
that he has really forgotten almost all
about it.-John Le,Cees, I'M st. NichO-

Feb. 4 is the day on which the Chi
nese select one of their number to pre-
side over their Joss house. The dis
charge of fireworks constitutes an i'm
portant factor in the days observance.
The manner of proceeding is as follows:
The two companies here are permitted
to have each certain number of repre-
sentatives, and the feetest and strongest
men are generally chosen. These dele
gates repair to vacant lot at the rear of
the JOSS house. A stipulated number
of bombs, each one containing me-
tallic ring, are placed in charge of
committee. 1t is the duty of the COM
mittee to fire off these bombs one at q
time. When the explosion takes place
the ring contained in the bomb is sent
flying into the air. 1t is the desire of
the two factions to have their respective
delegates secure as many of these as pos
sible. When the ring drops there is q
general scramble on the part of all duly
authorized to obtain possession OF it.
After the bombs have all been fired the
two companies compare notes, and the
side having the larger number of rings
is entitled to elect Joss equivalent to
minister of the gospel with us) from
among their number.-NeuddG Tran

WHAT is Deadwood's gain will prob
ably prove Leadville's loss. A band OF
twenty-five highwaymen left the Da-
kota diggings some time ago, and have
turned up in Leadville, arriving there
in squads. At meeting held by these
road agents, the proceedings of which
were overheard by an emissary from
the Sheriff's office, it was decided that
operations should begin just as soon as
the deep snow melted away. A few
brilliant exploits will then follow, after
which the robbers will retire to the
mountains until the excitement abates,
when the raids will be repeated.

chased by st. Louis undertaken, who
proposes to wheel his patrons off to the
cemetery in it. He assures them that
no expense has been spared in making
this hearse thoroughly complete In

How Distance Mitigates Our Horror at
a Calamity.

Imagination ministers but grudging-
ly to the feeling of sympathy between
man and man. We need to see the
CHASTITY spectacle of mangled remains,
to hear the groans of agony and the
shrieks of despair, to have some men
ace of loss or danger brought home to
ourselves or those with whom we have
some bond of connection closer than
that of the universal brotherhood, in
order to realize the horror of a great
disaster and feel for its victims. The
touch of nature that makes the whole
world kin is one of universal selfish
ness. Perhaps it is beneficent provi-
sion that saves us from the strain upon
our sympathies, which would make life
miserable if we were forced to share in
all the sufferings and calamities of the
race.
The appalling disaster that overlook
the Hungarian city of Szegedin was
full of multiplied horrors, and had it
taken place on the Passaic river it
would have filled the columns of our
newspapers almost to the exclusion of
everything else, blanched every cheek
with sense of awe, filed every heart
with pity and dread, and made every
task but that of succoring the hapless
victims almost impossible. But it is
5000 miles away. It touches not us.
We read of it with sort of istless
wonder at the magnitude of the calam-
ity. but the most sympathetic nature
fails to be at all deeply or keenly af-
fected by the recital And vet human
life is as precious in Hungary as in New
York. Death and bereavement are as
pitiful there as anywhere; loss of home,
of friends, of relatives, and of the
means whereby men do live, brings the
same pangs of suffering, the same DESC
lation, and the same blight upon ife
A city of 10000 inhabitants is over
whelmed in the tremendous flood of
waters, as the dikes that held the swollen

Nearly 10000 houses are swept into
ruin, hundreds upon hundreds of their
occupants are drowned, and the rest
are driven out in the cold winter night
in terror and dismay, to seek refuge
from the pitiless flood. The neighbor-
ing country is submerged, 1000 farm
houses are swept away, and seasons
crops well-nigh destroyed. There is
pitiful suffering from lack of shelter,
from want of food, from death in fear

consequences of the terrible misfort-

The latest census statistics from the
Hawaiian islands show rather alarm
ing state of affairs. The Chinese on
the islands have increased 70 per cent
in six years, and now number one
tenth of the whole population of the
kingdom. In the same time the native
population has decreased nearly 8 per

that they will soon overshadow the ma

THE FLINT ASYLUM.
Both the House and Senate commit
tees unite in recommending these ap-
preparations for the Deaf, Dumb and
Blind Asylum at Flint, for each of the
years 1879 and 1880: Total for each
year $40, 100; special appropriations are
also asked for to the amount of $4,000.

report that there has never been an en-
ploye of the board or in the asylum re-

SUBJECTS FOR DISSECTION.
House bill No. 20 provides that the
bodies of poor persons or convicts in
the poor-houses, jails, or houses of cor
rection, which may be required to be
buried at the public expense, shall be
sent to the University of Michigan or
the Detroit Medical College for dissec-
ton, unless, before the body is shipped,
any relative of the deceased shall re-
quest that it be buried, or unless the
deceased was traveller. Those in favor
of the bill urged that those who are
supported at the public expense during
life should contribute to the public
good after death. This method Of pro-
curing subjects for dissection seems
more rational and just than the present
system of grave robbing.

LANSING, April 4, 1879.

Az write to-day the halls Of legisla-
ton seem lonely and deserted. The
Michigan Solons are taking recess in
order to 60 home and vote next Mon
day. They have now drawn pay for
more than ninety days labor, but, as a
matter of fact, have not been in session
sixty days. Last Saturday Senator
Huston very sharply rebuked the Sen
ate for its frequent adjournments and
leaves of absence. The rebuke was not
received in kindly spirit, but it cannot
fail to result in good.
The machinery of legislation is so COM
pick and uninteresting to the masses,
that it is often quite difficult for news
paper correspondent to hold the atten-
ton of his readers. Again, there must
OF necessity be some repetition in ones
correspondence, as matters of legis-
lation are so often recalled before they
become laws. But Notwithstanding all
this care and red-tapeism, many very
silly, unwise and unjust laws are en-
acted. Aside from the appropriation
bills this Legislature has little business
to transact Some skirmishing has been
done around the liquor, interest, and
Industrial School for Girls bills, but, as
yet, the big guns have not been brought
out. After the spring election, next
Monday, we may hope that the mem
bers of the Legislature will take the
liquor bull by the horns.
