A Touching Story.

A touching story of seif-denial and
heroism ON the part o! little child was
revealed yesterday to the officers of
HammoEd-s!reet Station. About I
O'Clock in the morning the mother of
Mamie Fahey, a girl seven years OF age,
living at eos East Pearl street, went to
market, locking in the room Mamie and
her baby sister. as is the necessity OF
poor women who have no means to pay
for watching their children. The little
child found some loose matches, and in
playing with them set fire 20 her dress.
The flames burnt OFT her clothes, ami her
body, from the feet 20 the neck to :.
crisp; and then having accomplished
this cruel work, died out. When the
mother returned at s o'clock the child
was still alive, and able to speak. The
mother asked her why she did not cry
for help. The little ore answered, 81
was afraid Of waking the baby" In a
few moments she was dead.

UnsOeiability ut Table.

At French or German public table,
everybody. whether stranger or acquain-
lance, drops at once into conversation.
The fact is recognized that cOnversng
dispels stiffness and cOnstraint. and
thereby adds relish to the meal. People
regard each other as mutual aids for
the half hour. No claim of after ac-
guaintance is made, and the company
may part, never possibly to meet again.
At the American n tea restaurant
table where strangers are placed OPP
po,ite each cther-all is dreadfully
constrained, stiff and disagreeable. The
more ladies, as a rule, the more re-
strsint. No one feels at liberty to speak
to the other party or parties. The more
silence the more curiosity and specu-
latiOn regarding each other. Eyes are
busily stealing glances, and the least re-
mark dropped is caught up by greedy
ears. Everyone feels under the other
critical inspection. What talk there
may be is hidden away in sort of a
low-vOiced fashion from the others.
Sometimes curiosity takes the unpar-
donable liberty of suspending its own
speech to hear what others are saying.
A days meals eaten at a motel under
This inspection of curious and con-
strained eye and ear is enough to bring
on a fit of dyspepsia, through the con
segment mental strain and irritation. II
is time we copied something of French
or German ease of manner in our trans
cicnt intercourse at the hotel table.

An Interesting Visitor.

Says the Bodie Zeal. Nems: William
Mcdonald and family, consisting OF
wife aud two boys, living in a log cabin
in Pine Nut Valley, were suddenly
startleda few nights since about mid
night by the sudden crashing inofrhe roof
and large pile Of dirt that commenced
falling on their bed. The old man
jumped up and lit his candle to investi
gate, and found two huge, shaggy limbs
astraddle one of tie tafters. Having no
gun he sliced sharp axe, and, getting
his family away from the bed, with
single blow at each he severed them
from the body, the animal in the mean
time roaring with rage and pain and
unable to extrieate himself from the logs
and poles that held him a close prisoner,
out scattering the dirt covering of the
roof, and making general havoc of the
cabin. In his struggle one of the rafters
broke, and the family made quick work
getting outside of The house; rife
standing at the door the old man grabbsd

loaded. They concluded to build big
FIRE, and when fairly burning, the glare
and heat attracted the animal to the
door, that proved to be monster CHINA
mon bear. His growls and grOans were
frightful, and the old man finally raised
his rife within ten feet of his head and
fred, and the huge brute was dead.
Going back into the cabin IRE was
soon made in the fire place, and the
work of cleaning up the debris conf
menced. At daylight the bear had been
skinned and quartered, the cabin cleaned
up, and the work of repairing the roof

Titles by the Yard.

There are at present in Europe 719
princes and processes, each having
claim more or less remote to a crown.
The one with tine greatest number of titles
is the Emperor of Austria, Francis
Joseph. In addition to his title as En-
peror, he is nine times king, once arch
duke. four times margrave, five times
cunt prince, twice prince, and many
times count and lord. His cartts de
riste makes the fortune of photograph
ers. The King of Portugal has eighteen
first names, his eldest son hcs twenty,
and his youngest twenty-nine. One of
the kings of Portugal, according to a
Spanish story, got lost in the woods
while hunting. Coming late at night
upon little country inn, he knocked
and demanded shelter. The landlord
put his head out of the window and
asked who was there. His Majesty
replied by giving all his names and
titles. Excuse NE, sir" said the land.
lord, 81 haven't room in my house for
81 many people," and he shut the win
dow and left the King out in the
cold. The title of King Of Jerusalem is
borne by the Emperor of Austria, the
ex-King of Naples and the Prince de
Lusignan. A similar conflict exists be-
tween King Oscar of Sweden and King
Christian of Denmark, each claiming to
be King of the Goths. Oscar also calls
himself King of the Wends, and
Christian King of the Vandals. The

Mr.. Hardy is a young man of thirty
three or thirty-six, who started life in
an engineers office, but, as Sir Walter
Scott abandoned the law, so Hardy left
surveying and conveyancing for some

A Letter without an owner.

A letter, postmarked Bangor and ad-
dr.. ssed "Io the Handsomest Young
Lady at Rockland, Maine, was received
at the postofiice in the latter city last
week. After aconsuitation between the
chief of the office and his subordfpates,
the former official ordered the missive to
be displayed through, the glass window,
that some maiden with confidence in her
charms might step up and boldly demand
her property. The Courier, which is
one of the brightest little papers in
Maine, by the way, says crowds OF
women have looked at that envelope,
but none has dared called for it. Maiden
ladies' in false teeth and falser hair have
stood and gazed at the magic direction.

down the corridors, endeavoring to

which that little envelope has created

Con taGlOus Diseases

Mr.. G.. w. Wescott hands us an
interesting speech by Hon. P. e.
Hayes of Illinois, in the House Of
Representatives, April 18th, on the
above subject. In view of the fact
that millions of dollars are invested
in domestic animals, and that hun.
dreds Of thousands of dollars have
been lost in late years by the diseas-
es commonly known as hog cholera
and pleura-pneumonia, it becomes
the thinking portion of the commu-
nifty to be on the alert for means to
stay the ravages Of these plaques,
and if possible stamp them out. To
awaken proper interest in the matter
it may be stated that in England,
from 1S40 (when the cattle plague
made its appearance) to 1869, the
number of deaths among cattle,
caused almost exclusively by this
disease, is estimated to be 5,549, $50,
valued at not less than s4O0, GOO, 600.
A reasonable estimate Of the loss to
England, in actual deaths, and time
asd money expended In attempting
to suppress the disease, is $780,
100000.
In cattle alone the United States
have five and a half times ss many
as England, and if the disease sho'd
secure q like foothold here, our loss
will be commensurstely larger
reaching into scores of millions OF
dollars each year, and in a few years
summing up as much as our nation
al debt.
Those who have had any expert
| ence with contagious diseases amons
| stock will readily acknowledge th'
| importance Of vigorous action o.
