The truth Is 8 is petty disturber of the

He deserves the halter, or to be tied te

ty years for the public which resulted in
financial disaster to himself By his gen
erosity toward the completion of the N. s.
& 3. r. R., and for which he labored night
and day he lost sixty years of privstions
and labor, not even having . roof, which
he could call his town left to shelter him
This he bore with fortitude, having . ray
Of hope left, which was an investment in
some coal lands which was made several
years ago. With the numerous reverses
which were weighing him down, his last
ray Of hope was blighted some two weeks
ego upon receiving the Intelligence that
his stock had been lost and was worthless.
I his proved to much for his already over
burdened constitution.
Yes, Martin Berkey is dead but his

He Got Something Frisky.


SCOT something frisky?" he asked, as
he walk ed into livery stable, and
called for a saddle-horse; something
that will prance about lively and wake
a fellow out of his lethargy? I used
to ride the trick mules in circus, and
I reckon I can back anything that
wears hair" They brought him out a
calico-colored beast with vicious eye,
and he mounted it and dashed off.
Before he had gone two blocks the
animal bucked, crashed through high
board fence and plunged into cellar,
tossing his rider over the top of an
adjacent woodshed and landing him on
the ragged edge of a lawn-mower.
They bore him home, Strengthened him
out, and three surgeons came in and
reduced his dislocations and plastered
him up with raw beef. A few weeks
later he called at the stable and said if
they had gentle saw-horse with an
affectionate disposition, bride with a
curb bit and martingales, and a saddle
with two horns and crupper to it, he
believed he would go up in the haymow
and gallop around little where it was
soft and it wouldn't hurt him if he went
to sleep and fell off as he did the other
day.-B0It5nlOT Bulletin.

A ReDOrter'S Luck.

During an excursion from this city to
Niagara falls, and while at Cleveland, an
incident occurred which will never be
forgotten by those who heard of it. The
Kennard House, in that city, was crowd
ed with guests, when an eccentric and
witty druggist of Smithfield street ap-
peared late at night at the hotel Office
and demandeda bed. The clerks replied
that there were only two vacant beds in
the house-one wherein was CHARTERED
Pittsburgh morning-newspaper man,
and the other room wherein was Pitts
burgh evening-newspaper man, who
were with the excursion. "To tell the
truth, they are both pretty drunk; so
you may take your choice as to which
room you will sleep in" The druggist
said that on general principles he would
take his chances with the evening-news-
paper journalist, as he would doubtless
be so drunk that he would lie dormantly
quiet all night. He went to bed and
was soon sound asleep. The journalist,
however, awakened about II o'clock,
and, thinking it long time between
drinks, dressed himself unconsciously
in the druggists clothes, and sailed out
to make night of it. Ever and anon he
muttered, as he treated all present,
Funniest thing ever heard of! When
I went to bed last night I only had 25
cents to my name, and now I've got
over 800 Showing corpulent roll of
bills); and I'm bound to spend every
cent of it before morning" He did

One golden buttercup plucked then slowly turned
away,
With heart more soft and tender than for many
lonely day;
No call for bitter speeches, or sad upbraiding
here;
1 softly turned and left the dreamer, dreaming
there so drear.
The rest found were scattered some dead, some
worse than dead,
And it seemed all in moment that my haunting
pain had fed;
I felt a weight uplif.ed, then, off from heart and
- brain, sgsz&M
That so long had been pulsating with the fierce I'M
rest of pain.
And that evening when the first dim stars We're
dawning in the sky,
And the soft breeze soothed my weary brain with
loving lullaby,
stood and watched the far-of scene, as slowly it
unfurled,
And beneath the starry heavens there pardoned
all the world. 4

Wild Animals i'm Africa.

Although the gradual spread of the
population toward the interior of At
RIGA is driving the wild animals further
and further inland, and though they
are consequently difficult to reach in
the more inaccessible haunts to which
they have retreated, yet the larger wild
animals have, with one or two excep-
tions, scarcely suffered any diminution
from the advancing tide of civilization.
Ostriches have suffered, perhaps, most,
but only to exchange wild for do
nestle state. Elephants are frequently
seen within a short distance of the
southern and southeastern coasts.
Hippopotami are abundant. Even the
larger beasts of prey are by no means
uncommon, and tigers are especially
depredators.
II. the report of the diamond diggers
in the northwest are to be believed, a
new animal has lately made it's appear
ance as a candidate for the honor of
being chased by an enterprising sports
man. It is called by the bushmen or
