A Remarkable Swan.

Visitors to Pine Grove Cemetery. at
Milford, Mass, are much surprised to
see swan standing on grave near a
child's rocking-horse. The swan utters
a shrek if any one attempts to approach
the grave. Some years ago the mate to
the swan died, and soon after the rock
ing-horse was placed on the newly-made
grave, when the surviving swan immedi-
diately stationed himself as protector
over the horse. IF the father of the little
boy that is buried there approaches, the
swan makes no cutlery, but no one else
is allowedto approach thespot Recently
the horse was taken away and painted,
and while it was absent the swan took no
notice of the grave, but passed its time
on the pond or in the house, but when
the horse was replaced the swan took
up its position by Its side, thus showing
that it was the rocking horse and not the
grave that was the object of its vigil. Tt
is rumored that the trustees ordered the
horse removed, but the owner Of the lot
refused to comply with the command be-
cause his son had requested that it
should be placed above his grave.

The Slave Trade In Egypt.

Notwithstanding the laws, treaties and
DEGREES for the suppression of the slave
trade in Egypt, and even the activity
displayed by the Egyptian Government
for its extinction, dispatches recently re-
ceived at the Department of State from
our Consul General at Cairo would seem
to prove that the inhuman traffic, al
though not carried on as openly, is piled
as energetically as formerly The slave
trade is carried on by the Arab caravans
which, while nominally trading in legiti-
mate merchandise between Egypt and
Darfour, in Central Africa, run the slaves
into upper Egypt to the city of Assiout
generally, on the Nile, about $50 miles
above Cairo, where the Ilybian range of
mountains run nearly down to the river.
The slavers secrete the slaves in the an
cient grottoes and tombs in these mount
aims until they are disposed Of and
distributed q throughout the country.
The activity of a young Swiss attached
to the American Mission at Assiout re-

Of s35 Arabs, charged with being slave

More Case Than Cure.

A Hartford doctor, now deceased, was
wont to boast of his skill in curing
cancers, and he invariably alluded to a
most difficult case he treated In another
town. &C. Most remarkable case" and
the doctor would close his eyes in a
seemingly deep reverie as he uttered the
words, and then he would repeat them
two or three times in gradually receding
tones Of voice, like the falling cadence of
a dying echo most remarkable case;
most remarkable case. The old doctors
manner was such as to leave the impress
sion that the cure was quite as remark
able as the case.
On one occasion gentleman who had
cancer on his face, had pretty much
made up his mind to visit New York for
treatment, when he happened in to this
Hartford physicians office, and was SO
impressed with the remarkable ease !"
that he concluded to- be doctored at
home, and, went to the. DOCTORS office to
make arrangements for the operation.
The doctor was out on professional bust
ness, but his wife answered the bell, and
the cancer patient got into conversation
with the lady, and among other things,
innocently asked how that gentleman out.

New York. Here is a parallel case: A
doctor had discovered an. infalible
remedy against the cancer. He lately
undertook splendid case, treated it
splendidly, and buried it ditto. While
lecturing to his anatomical class, he said:

to you, by the examination of the proper
organs, that my patient died cured. . =

Oriental Physicians.

The Oriental physicians are the great
est quacks in the world. Take the fol-
lowing specimen of their profundity:
An emir, supposed to have the henedi-
tary gift of healing, prescribed for pa
tent, an npholsterer, lying at deaths
door with the typhus fever. The next
day he called to see his patient and
found, to his astonishment, for BE, had
given him up, that he was much better.
On inquiring into the. particulars, the
convalescent told the emir that. being
consumed with thirst he had drank a
pailful Of the juice of picked cabbagel
s'sAllah is greatp cried the emir, and
down went the fact on his tablets.
The doctor was soon after called uDon
to attend another patient, dealer in EN-
broidered handkerchiefs, who was III of
the same .disease--typhus fever. OF
course he prescribed pailful of picked
cabbage juice. The next day he heard
CHAT the sufferer was. dead, whereupon
he made the following entry upon his

There should have been. an answer to
the letter in about two weeks if she was
like other women. But two, yes, three
weeks and more passed by without a
word. The fire died out on our hearth,
as the hot summer came on swiftly, and
was not renewed. March surrounded
us and revealed wonders to the limited
New England experience which barely
becomes acquainted with the sun Of the
extreme Southern States. April came
and, going out into the past, left thirty
perfect days behind. Lower Texas
bedecked In a suit Of green, not laid on
as a remnant, but with a lavishness al
most wastefnl, smiled in your faceat
first and then laughed aloud, her notes
of JOY bubbling from a thousand Threats.

some, but intense to those whose ears
were attuned to it. The very earth at

It was just opening May when came
from the postofice one evening and laid
down before Jackson the letter he
had mailed weeks before. It came from
the Dead Letter Office that morguesso
so many hopes and in the same mail
was paper from what had been his
home town, together with letters for N.Y.
self. He was playing on his violin when
[ came in, but stopped at once.
do not think that at first he felt so
deeply sorry that it had miscarried as
did, but he was perplexed all the even
ing long, and could not understand why
the letter had not reached her. He sat
several hours turning the letter over and
over, noting the different post marks,
but not offering to re-read what he had
written, and evidently trying hard to
grasp the situation fully. He gave a
deep sigh at last, and, without getting
up from his chair, laid the letter by.
though still in sight. He then took the
home paper and scanned its meager coll
umns carelessly, looking first, as one
Always from his former home does, at the
list of deaths and marriages. They were
few and of no special interest to him !;
but as he glanced over another column,
devoted for the most part to small town
talk, he must have seen this paragraph,
for he fell forward on bis face like one
about to- die if not already dead, crush
ing his violin beneath him, its deep
moan joining discordantly with the
hooking boot of the screech-owl far out
in the darkness.
We regret to learn just as we go to press to-
day that Mrs. Henry T. Goodwill, wife Of our
esteemed townsman of that name, died last
night after brief illness of three days. The
circumstances of her death were peculiarly
painful and most distressing. Mrs. Goodwill
has been married less than year, and viii be
remembered by many of our readers as Miss
Esther Barton, who lived until she was mar
ried at the home of Thomas Jackson, brother
of the late William Jackson, Sr. She was a
lovely woman, and the grim destroyer has in
deed slnote heavily. Our heartfelt sympathies
are with the husband in this his dire extremity,
his hour.ofg trial
