ALLIGAToRs HATCEED BY A
HEN.-A lady residing at Cow
island, in Louisiana, and wishing
TO set a hen, went into q field ad-
joining her residence, where some
of her chickens had been laying,
and procured some seventeen
eggs and placed them under the
hen. When in the course of "hu-
man events,'' the chickens were
hatchcd, 10, and behold, there
came forth four small-sized alli-
gators. 1t is supposed that alli-
gators from an adjoining marsh
had deposited their eggs in the
field, and she, not knowing the
difference, placed them under the
hen. And what is more strange
the young alligators follow the
mother hen around the premises
as happy as Colorado beetle in
potato patch.

WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 9, 1880.

So Dora went home in the old
doctors carriage, and in his COM
pany and care. He laughed when
she apologized for their miserable
room. Pooh pooh !! said be. 4

first appearance in this world,
child. You hadn't even your
crown Of gold thcn. Poor enough,
forsooth Ycu needn't ever mind
me. Who's been attending mo-
ther 2
DR.. Charles Osborne,' she told
him timidly, and a blush stole over
her pale, beautiful face. Then as
she saw him start and give long
whistle:
DO you know him, sir2'
Heard of him. said the old
man, brusQuely. Smart fellow,
but poor. Well, we'll, your mo-
! ther is my old patient. You shall
pay him, and III take this case
! myself
He did. Took it to his own
/; luxurious house, thence to the
seaside-restored Mrs. Tremaine
to health at last, and surrounded
both her and Dora with every
comfort.
How are we ever to repay you? 2
the girl asked him, and his answer
fairly took her breath.
4 want a wife, said he as ab-
ruptly as usual. Your crown Of
gold is mine, Dora, will you give
sme all the rest ?
Poor DoraI What is crown
of gold compared to heart? She
had sold the first. After all, no
one seemed to want the latter,
she thought sadly. She had nsl-
ther seen nor heard of-and then
she checked herself and left
Charles Osborne's name unuttered
and reminded herself Of the debt
of gratitude to DR.. Gray.
1 owe you more than my life,
she sighed, but l have no heart
to give you. If my respect, es-
teem-if my deep gratitude will
suffice you:
They WILL said the old man.
4 believe you love me dearly into
the bargain. Will you give me
your hand, prsy?'
'Yes,' she sighed and placed it
in his reluctantly. He gave it a
sounding kiss.
Pretty little hand !! said be. i

you to that lucky dog, my ne
phewI' and be threw open the
door. Come in, Charley said be.

Pray, gentle being, give me heed,

Thee TO my heart-I know It's rash!

Upon thy neck and mild mustachc.
Why, tell me why, thine eyelids drop;
Why turn away so pettishly;
Say, why with fierce, tumultuous flop,
Thy bosom heaves coquettishly?
Ikrow;that thou s-t young and fair :
As tiny buds in early spring
But thon shalt be my constant care
Thou frail and fragile little thing!
I'll sew thy shirts and darn thy hose,
Thy victusls cook, thy fires will light

Each snowy, croupy, wintry night,
So surely thou'lt not tell me nay
And bid me, dying, quit thy side
Brace up; pull down your vest and say
ThatT may be thy blushing bride.

"A light nourishipg diet, and
good wine-that's what she needs,
said Dr.. Osborne, sorrowfully.
FsMedicine can do nothing here
He spoke oreovfully because
he knew right we'll that what he
was recommending was beyond
his patients power to obtain, and
his heart ached for the positive
despair that showed itself in the
face Of the listener.
A beautiful girl Of is or 90 years,
perhaps, upon whose youth the
blight of care and poverty had
fallen heavily. She was poorly
clad in black, and as she put
back her dingy veil with a white
and trembling hand, her large blue
eyes, full Of unsbed tears, roved
from the speakers kindly face to
the wasted, silent figure on the
bed again with whole history Of
untold anguish in their depths.
Doctor Charles Osborne, young
and tender Of heart, looking into
the sad blue eyes and falling each
moment more and more deeply in
love with their owner, impulsive-
ly answered their despalring gaze
as he might have answered spoken
words.
I would to God that my means
were equal to my will ! said be.
Il am but poor and struggling
physician, as you know; other
wise Jour mother would want for
nothing
The young girl bEpshed vivid
crimson suddenly, and drew up
her slight figure haughtily with
look Of offended pride. 1t was
only for an instant, however, the
next she held out her hands to
him gratefully, and the tears in
her blne eyes overdowed.
4 thank you for your sym
patby,' she said simply, 'and for
your constant care, but for which
she might not'-her eyes were
on the bed and her voice sank
low-'she might not, perhaps,
have been spared to me this long.
For the rest'-with a deep sight,
there be any way in the world to
obtain it she shall have wine.'
She stood for a few seconds,
looking after him, and listening to
his football as it echoed along the
bare staircase and hall she let
her face fall down on her hands
with a fearless sob.
Can poverty bring US good
gifts p she moaned. If so it is
only to torture US. In my power
ty 8 true heart has come to me,
but it can never be mine =
Then she went into the poor,
bare room, closing the door softly
after her, and bent above the
sleeping figure on the bed.

INJURED. And she Will die without
them. How can l get them
How? Alas! 1t was easier to
ask than to answer that. Every
thing they possessed that would
fetch . doIl4r had been sold, and
had she not spent almost the
whole of this weary day in trying
to obtain work and quite in vain !

A Young Heroine.

A very young heroine, Miss Esther
May Cornish Bowler, aged eight years,
has just been awarded by the Royal
Humane society. ITS medal and O hand
some testimonial explanatory of the
circumstances under which she SO brave
ly entitled herself to receive that medal.
She is the daughter of q gentleman living
in Blackhall, Avonwick, Ivybridge,
Devonshire, and she saved the life Of her
governess, Miss Bradshaw, who, when
returning from Sunday school on the
Both of November last, with the youthful
heroine and her youngest sister, turned
giddy and fell into pond six feet deep
with water Dispatching her youngest
sister to the keepers lodge, Miss Cornish
Bowden bent over the pool, trying to lay
hold of her drowning governess. This
she did, but in the effort she overbalanced
herself, fell into the pool and sank
Never losing her presence of mind, she
retained her grip of the governess, and
when she rose to the surface she still
held her by the right hand while with the
left she caught hold of some short BUSH
es. In this position they remained for
five minutes, the child calling for help.
Eventually q passing workman heard the
cries and assisted Miss Bradshaw and
the child out of the water The former
was much exhausted and partially in
sensible, but her brave little rescuer ap-
peared quite unconcerned

Turnino An Honest Penny,

"Old Billy Gray" used to do big
lump of the foreign mercantile business
of Boston. One day new salesman
was employed by Gray's firm. He had
heard much of Mr.. Gray's wealth, and
was every day expecting to see sleek
old gentleman dressed in the finest
clothes, with gold watch, chain, jewelry,
etc. This new salesman bought turkey
one morning and was looking out for
some one to carry it home for him. A
plainly dressed man asked hun how much
he would give him to carry the turkey
for him. "Ninepence." The bargain
was struck and the two walked down to-
ward State street side by side, the elder
carrying the turkey by its legs In one
hand. When the young mans home
was reached the turkey was duly deliver
ed and the ninepence paid as agreed,
whereupon the elder returned thanks to
the young man attended with the request
that whenever he wanted to pay nlne-
pence for the carrying of a turkey few
blocks ON the way he himself was going,
to just call on old Billy Gray and he would
be glad of job by which he could earn
ninepence so easily.

With view to the suppression of Nihilism,
the car of Russia has appointed "Comrnis-
sion Of Supreme Control with General Nell
koff as its chief. The imperial ukase abolishes
the Office of provisional governor general of st.
Petersburg, and gives to Gen. Melikof direct
control over all political trials had in the capital
in the military district of st. Petersburg and
throughout the empire. All local authorities,
governors general and town commandments are
placed under the jurisdiction of the head of the
commission, and all employees ii the various
departments are bound to afford him their en-
tire cooperation. Gen. Meikoff has issued a
proclamation. After referring to the indigna-
ton felt in Russia and throughout Europe at
the attempts on the life of the emperor, he de-
clared that the government is compelled to
adopt effectual measures for the suppression of
the evil threatening social order.

The Situation i'm Europe.

The North German Gazette says that when
once the belief is created among the Russian
people that an attack on the part of Germany is
feared it is only q short step from that point to
hostile excitement against a threatening neigh
Dor. If it be true that the Russian designs
against Germany, of which Gen. Miljontine, the
Russian minister of war, Is credited with being
the chief promoter, are only postponed until
France is ready, then fortifcation against a
peaceful neighbor may be regarded as Q sure
preparation for future aggressive war with
Germany. Neither France nor Russia has ever
been attacked by Germany, and the colossal
ornaments of these two states, which by COM
pulsion weigh upon the rest of Europe, can
therefore only be based upon an aggressive
policy

A FEW months ago q number of women who
were interested in relieving the wants of the
poor, and in the promotion of temperance,
opened 3 Scent coffee house in San Francisco.
The experiment was SO successful that the
opening of new establishments of the same
character soon followed, and four of these in
stitutions have been successfully conducted for
several months past. Hundreds Of poor persons
patronize these cheap cofee-houses, at which
a cup of coffee and roll of bread can be had
for cents. They have been SO ably and

A Terrible Affair.

Near Necedah, Wis, on the 18th ult., the
residence OF childless old couple named Car
men, caught fire. In climbing to the roof to
extinguish the flames, the old gentleman fell to
the ground and was rendered helpless. Mrs
Carmen managed to save a feather bed upon
which she placed her injured husband, and then
started for the nearest neighbors, about mile
and half away. When about half way she
slipped and fell, injuring herself so badly that
she too, was helpless, and during the night,
froze to death Sunday morning, February
22d, some of the neighbors found Mr.. Carmen
still alive and also discovered the remains of
his wife. The old mans legs were frozen above
his knees, and he would have persisted had not
hen laid an egg daily within his reach with
which he sustained his life.

Too muchimportance should not be attributed
to the recent Baltimore decision exempting COM
mercial travellers from paving license tax.
The decision turned upon special point in re-
gard TO q Maryland law, and is not of general
application. The only authoritive judgment on
the matter that has ever been rendered was in
the well-known case of Ward against the state
of Maryland, when the Supreme Court of the
United States decided that the law of the state
requiring non-residents to pay three hundred
dollars for license to sell their goods manu-
featured in another state by sample was uncon-
stitutionaI, sinceit Disseminated against citizens
of other states, in taxing them with a greater
sum for license than imposed on resident deal
ers. But of course state may make non-resi-
dents pay the same license tax as residents
This is the case in Texas, about which we hear
good deal of complaint among merchants.
