oucht to 10 ronluct their business that there
should be nothing which they desire to hide Or

All those which profess 10 be mutual claim to
bo doing 4 work of practical bcnevolence, to be
actnated BY other motives than the mere max.
Ing Of money, and to hold funds simply ns
trustees.
They are, therefore, subject to other consid.
erations than railway company or banking
corporation.
And nhenevcr any Of them attempts to conceal
the character Of the insurance contracts they arc
making with new applicants, tllat ATTEMPT
shor'd excite grave suspicion.
For some tfmc past tho agents Of the Mutual
Life~1naurancc Company have refused tu let

A Wildcat Loose in q Theatre.

There was fight advertised to come
off at the Alhambra Theatre, Sunday
afternoon, between an eastern fighting
bulldog, named Turk, and forty-two
pound wildcat, vicious brute, for 800
side-that is, the cat and dog were to
fight for their lives and men bet 800 q
side on the result. The fight was to be
followed by grand olio on the stage.
1t was an immense bill, and it drew.
In due time the cat was introduced
upon the stage and was Immediately
followed by Turk; but at the first kiss
of the dog the cat took to the audience,
and the olio, instead of being performed
by the troupe, was done by the specta-
tors, tooth and toe-nail accompaniment.
The first bound of the cat took it upon
the piano of the orchestra. The pawer
of ivory left the swelling strain unfin-
ished, and turned back handspring
over among the audience. The next
leap of the "varmint was at the con-
trabass, and both player and instrument
went down instanter with broken heads.
The cat fingered lovingly a moment
among the strings, as If to test their
quality, and then sprang out among the
audience. Then began an olio in dead
earnest, but not the one advertised,
although the fight was over. 1t con-
sisted of ground and lofty tumbling,
leapfrog, and such like feats of dexter
ity, all havinga single obiect--to amuse
the audience by glimpse Of sunlight
out of doors and under the free light of
heaven once more. It was perfectly
satisfactory as whole each player did
his best. Time-shortest on record
1:O9. Everything went off well, espe.
cially the audience. The cat was found
a few moments later looking out of one
of the boxes and waiting for an encore.

Choate and Webster.

Perhaps tho weight and power of
Webster's character we're due as much
to the hours he spent in the woods and
fields and on the ocean, chatting with
farmers or sailors as he was engaged in
hunting or fishing, as to the hours he
spent in his stady.
Now Choate, superior to Webster in
quickness of apprehension and imagin-
alton, was an indoors man. The larger
portion of his mature life was passed
in the sitting atmosphere of the courts,
or in what Milton calls "the sill air
of delightful studies ;" that IL, in his
library. He, of course, was not so
foolish as to neglect exercise ; but his
exercise was commonly confined to
long walks through the streets or
around the Common OF Boston. No
one ever enjoyed nature more intense
ly but he never sojourned with her
His friend Charles G.. Loring, one of
his competitors for the leadership of
the Suffolk bar, once invited him to
pass a summer day at his beautiful resi-
dence on the Beverly shore. Mr.. Choate
was full of enthusiasm as he walked
among the woodland paths or gazed at
the varying aspects of sky and ocean /;
he doubtless stored up in his mind
images of natural beauty which flashed
out afterward in many popular speech
or legal argument; but he exhausted
the capacity of the place to feed his eye
and imagination in half dozen hours
"My dear Loring," he said, in parting,
"there has not been q twentieth part
of minute since entered this terres-
trial paradise that l have not enjoyed
to the top of my bent but let me tell
you that should you contine me here
for q week, apart from my work and
books l know that I should die from
utter eanui. You are fortunate in be-
ing able serenely to delight in it day
by day." II he had been asked to pass
a fortnight with Webster at Marshfield
or at his New Hampshire farm, and
had accompanied him day after day in
his shooting or fishing expeditions, not
even Webster's conversation could have
saved him from being devoured with
an impatient desire to escape from the
monotony of such an existence. ALI
the eccentric originals OF the peighbor-
hood, whom Webster delighted in year
after year, he would have delighted in
for q day. and then dismissed them
from his mind as intolerable bores |;
the mountain or ocean scenery might
have enthralled him for few days
more; but the shooting and fishing, in
which Webster took such pleasure,
would have seemed to him ascandalous
waste of time, which might have been
more profitably bestowed on Eschylus
and Aristophanes, or Thucydides and
Tacitus, on Hooker and Jeremy Taylor,
on Bacon and Burke, on Shakespeare
and Milton.
In one particular Choate excelled
Webster-that OF constant high-bred
courtesy to men and women of all
ranks.-El,cin p. Whipple, in Harpers
Magazines.

AFRAID OF BEING KIssED.-A man
was once walking along one road and
woman along another. The roads
finally united, and man and woman,
reaching the junction at the same time,
walked on from there together. The
man was carrying large iron kettle on
his back, in one hand he held by the
legs live chicken, in the other, cane,
and he was leading a goat. Just as
they were coming to deep, dark ra-
vine, the woman said to the man, q" I'm
afraid to go through that ravine with
you; it is lonely place, and you might
overpower me and kiss me by force"
If You were afraid of that" said
the man, "you shouldn't have
with me at all; how can 1 posi-
ply overpower you and kiss you by
force when l have this great iron kettle
on my back, a cane in one hand and
live chicken in the other. and am lead
ing this goat? I might as we'll be tied
hand and foot !"
Yes" replied the woman; but if
you should stick your cane into the
ground and tie the goat to it, and turn
the kettle bottom side mp, and put the
chicken into it, then you might wick
eddy kiss me, in spite Of my resistance. +"
Success to thy ingenuity, o wo
man said the rejoicing man to him.
self; " / should never have thought OF
such an expedient."
And when they came to the ravine
he stuck his cane in the ground and
tied the goat to it, gave the chicken TO
the woman, saying: Hold it while 1
cut some grass for the goat" and then,
lowering the kettle from his shoulders,
imprisoned the chicken under it, and
wickedly kissed the woman, us she was
afraid he would.

cohol."
"Please explain the passage of food
and poisoned alcohol to the brain
again." said.
Well, when man drinks alcohol it
goes, like electricity, straight to the
nerve cells; thence to the eye through
the optic nerve; then to the brain,
making man talk lively; then to the
spinal centre, limbering the back; then
to the muscular system; and when it
finally gets to the stomach, he vomits.
Food goes just the opposite way. Food
goes to the stomach first, then into the
blood, then to the heart, and finally
through the arteries to the brain"
"Then red Peruvian bark stimulates
and builds up the nerve-cells until they
begin to receive nutrition from the
blood ?"
"Yes, that's it. The only credit I
claim is making this discovery and dis
covering the location of the disease
known as dipsomania."
How did you discover that red
cinch"na bark would cure drunken
ness p
Well, I first discovered it down in
Maryland, twelve years ago. An ac-
count was published in the San at that
time. had case of drunkard, Bill
Stevers, who also had intermittent
fever, and so tried red Peruvian bark
instead of quinine. TO my surprise, it
not only cured his fever, but he never
wanted to drink whisky afterward.
When he went into saloon and the
boys asked him to drink, Bill said:
II can't, boys. That dogon red
bark the Doctor gave me not only killed
my fever, but it spoiled all the whisky
in Maryland for me-" =
"What conspicuous cures in Chicago
can you refer to, Doctor?'
"Well, DR.. s. B. Noble. He had
the alcoholic disease. His nerve-cells
were poisoned. He was once President
OF the Illinois Dental Association. He
got to be a hard drinker. His mind
began to be affected. though scholar
and gentleman, beloved by everybody.
He tried red Peruvian bark three weeks
ago. He's we'll man now, and every
body in Chicago looks at his cure as a
miracle. DIR. Noble knows it was
disease, and don't object to be referred
to-"
I am satisfied that if the physicians
in New York will give DIR. D'Unger's
discovery a trial they will do more for
temperance in O year than Cough and
Murphy have done in all their lives.
1t is the first remedy ever discovered
that kills the disease and the inclina-
ton to drink at one and the same time.

Trapped by a Girl.

A whole band of robbers was very
neatly trapped in La Carolina, Spain,
by the bravery of girl of thirteen, who
has become the heroine of the neigh
borhood. She is the daughter of q
farmer named Fueras, and is called
Caramita. The family consists Of the
husband and wife and daughter. The
farmer sold some cattle for 81 800, and
had the money in his house. A band of
robbers knew of the sale and the money :,
and laid their plans to rob the house.
After the farmer had gone out with his
workpeople, couple of strangers APP
preached the hOuse-a man travel
stained supporting woman who seemed
unable to walk any further. The man
explained to the farmers wife that he
was going to distant village with his
wife, and she. being i'll, had broken
down on the way. He asked permission
for the sick woman to enter the house
and rest while he went to find convey
ance to enable them to continue their
journey. Permission was granted, the
woman taken in, and the man left. The
sick woman partook of some refresh
ments, and the mother and daughter
went on with their work. Very soon
Caramita discovered that their guest
had on a pair of pantaloons, under the
gown. She communicated the fact to
her mother, unobserved by the visitor,
and the two managed quickly to slip
into another room, close and lock the
door. The visitor, left alone. and
knowing that his character had been
discovered, threw off his disguise, and
ordered the women to open the door or
die. The door was not opened, and the
robber began to cut through ii with
large knife. At length, he hacked O
hole big enough for his body, and he
began to crawl through it. The woman
tainted and fell on the floor. The brave
girl seized her fathers gun, which was
in the room, heavily charged with buck
shot, placed the muzzle against the side
of the man, now halfway through the
hole, and unable quickly to get either
backward or forward, and pulled the
trigger. There was an instantly dead
man and loud report. The other
robber lurking in the neighborhood
heard the shot and returned to the
house to find his comrades dead body
plugging the hole in the door and hang
ing there. Before he could remove the
body, which was held in the opening
by the girl, and enter the room where
the mother and daughter were, the
farmer came with force sufficient to
capture the other robber. Then they
sent for some police to take charge of
the living robber and the corpse. On
the person of the dead robber the
police found two pistols, a poniard, and
q whistle. The whistle was treasure
now, as there were doubtless more rob-
bers within its call. The police sounded
the whistle, and concealed themselves
in the house to await results. The
shrill call brought four more men into
the house, whore they were Gagged and
ironed, and all five were marched to
Jail in good order, and the dead robber
was buried. Little, black-eyed, Cara
mita saved her own and her mothers
life and her fathers money, made six
robbers fewer in Spain, and herself the
heroine Of La Carolina.-Sf. Louis Re-
publican.

GREELEY's CRITICISM Gree
ley was always friend to Bayard Tay-
lor, apd the latter used to say that
Greeley's rough criticism on some of
the earlier poems were not the least of
the favors received from the eccentric
journalist. He once laid q gushing
rhetorical poem, which had lately ap.
peared in a millinery magazine, on Mr..
Greeley's table, and waited to hear his
opinion Of it. The effort was signed
with his initials only. Presently Gree.
ley called to him. He was holding the
magazine in his hand. Pointing to the
poem with his index finger he asked !:
did you write thatg' 81 did, sir, !"
was Taylor's modest reply. Then Mr..
Greeley simply inquired, "What
makes you print such hog wash as
th&' ?" The young poet started ON his
vacation, not quite certain whether he
had been kicked by mule or blessed
by the best-hearted man that ever lived.

The most important piece of news,
in an industrial sense, that New York
has heard for some time, is that VIM.
81. Vanderbilt has made arrangements
for the establishment of line Of freight
steamers between this city and several
OF the foreign ports. New York has
long suffered from bad terminal facili-
ties. and the new line will make the ex
portation of Western products much
cheaper.

A pretty story is told of General Gar

A pretty story is told of General Gar
ibaldi apropos of his taste for letter
writing. Some years ago a poor man
came to Caprera with the intention of
settling down there, SO as to be near
his hero while gaining a livelihood.
He asked Garibaldi's advice as to what
he should do, as he was somewhat too
old for agriculture. The general re-
fiected for few minutes. then said :
"The paper and ink sold on the island
are detestable /; import from Livorna
some smooth paper. some good ink,
and some fine pens" The man fol-
lowed the advice, and though no one
on the island bought his merchandise
except Garibaldi, he got enough by
that to live on. Soon after. Victor
Hugo got to hear of the affair, and
ordered, his writing materials of the
same man, who is said to be now in
exceedingly prosperous circumstances.
Garibaldi's epistolary inclinations have,
therefore, their good side.
