his experience:
Reporter" Captain Boyton, you must

Captain Boyton-" Yes, sir, by the

White Doves and Death.

In q graveyard near Exeter, England,
was erected memorial stone having
these inscriptions:
Here lies John Oxenham, a goodly
young man. in whose chamber, as he
was struggling with the pangs OF death,
a bird with q white breas was seen.

Here lies also Mary O1enham, sister of
the said John, who died the next day,
and the same apparition was seen in the
room" Then another sister w&s spoken

Oxenham, the son of the said John, who
died child in his cradle 0 little after;
and such bird was seen futtering about
his head, a little before he expired.
which vanished afterward" At the
bottom of the stone there was: Here
lies Elizabeth Oxenham, the mother Of
the said John, who died sixteen years
since, when such a bird with 4 white
breast was seen about her bed before her
death" To all these things there were
respectable witnesses, whose names
were engraved upon the stone. Whether
it is in existence now, we are unable to
say. The stone was seen by the author
of the Familiar Letters" published n
London in IT23.

A Railroad Dropping Out of Sight.


A curious phenomenon has occurred
In the dropping out of sight of piece of
road near Ravenna, Ohio. About ten
years ago there was a settling in the
road. but no great change occurred until
last June, when, in a single night. that
whole portion eight rods) CRACKED

nearly ten feet. Then, like a grand
panoramic scene, it was slowly carried

A Wasp In His Slipper.

Says the Dallas (Texas) Herald:
There are times in the life of the small
boy when he feels very sad from the use
of 3 slipper or switch upon him. II
anything happens to the person who has
thus afflicted him, his joy is great, as
will be seen from the following incident:
4 gentleman returned home from his
daily toll, and had pulled off his boots
and was going to put on his slippers,
when howl of intense agony resounded
through the hall. The afrighted family
rushed to the door, and beheld their
papa heaving the shadows with wild
gestures and frantic gyrations.
Take it off, he shouted, and made a
grab at his foot, but missing it, went on
with the war-dance.
"Wa;ter!' he shrieked, aud started
upstairs, three al a step. AID, turning,
came back in single stride. "Oh, Pm
stabbed" be cried, and sank 20 the floor
and held his right leg high above his
head; then he arose to his feet with a
bound, and screaming for the bootjack,
he held his foot out toward his terrified
family.
"Oh, bring me the arnica!" he yelled,
and with one despairing effort he
reached his slipper and got it of, and
with q groan as deep as well and as
hollow as q drum, sank into a chair and
clssped his foot with both hands.
''Look out for the Scorpion" he
whispered, hoarseiy; I'm a dead
man."
The small boy was by this time out
in the woodshed, rolling in the kindling
in an ecstacy of glee, and pausing from
time to time to explain to the son Of a
neighbor, who had dropped in to see il
there was any innocent sport going on
in which he could share.
ooh, Bill! Bill" he said, you
wouldn't believe; some time to-day,
somehow or other, big blue wasp got
into the old mans slipper, and when he
came home and put them on-oh, Bill,
you don't know what fun I've hadm

TELEGRAPH RInnders.

A gentleman who had gone to the
country to find a summer location for
his family telegraphed to his wife.
"Home tonight" The wires rendered
this into Come tonight" and so the
wife posted into the country at once.
while the husband was making his way
in contrary direction.

reached Philadelphia-"Am at CONT

AN affectionate uncle was informed by
telegraph: MARY is to be buried on
wednesday. Come sure" Mary, who
llved IN Chicago, was his favorite niece.
and as he had not heard of Ter illness,
the sad intelligence gave him a severe
shock. He dressed himself in deem
mourning, and made hurried iourney
to the West to find a jovial party
assembled at Mary's wedding. The
wires had arranged for ner to be
buried" instead of married"
Probably the worst blunder ever made
was one that occurred in the case of 3
81. Louis merchant, who, while in New
York, received telegram informing
him that his wife was IL. He sent a
message to his family doctor, asking the
nature of the sickness and if there was
any danger, and received promptly the
answer: mo danger. Your wife has
had n child. If we can keep her from
having another tonight she will do
we'll" The mystifcation of the asi-
tated husband was not removed until a
second inquiry revealed the fact that his
indisposed lady had had a Chill
