A Mule That Broke Up a Picnic.

On Saturday, in Talbot County, the
colored people gave picnic, to which
their friends in the surrounding coun-
try were invited. The forenoon was
passed in an enjoyable manner. The
dinner was all that could be wished,
and after disposing of it many engaged
in dance The fun continued for an
hour or so, when several shouts near
at hand caused all to run in that direc
ton, when a most ludicrous sight was
presented. A long meek-looking mule
had his ears set forward, and was do
ing his utmost to demolish with his
heels couple of bee-hives. The bees
were resenting the attack, and in large
numbers were singing him. This
caused the mule to kick more wildly.
Several persons attempted to unite the
animal, but came off with face and
hands covered with bees. By this time
the party we're forced to scatter on &C.
count of the bees, which were attac.--
ing all whom they met. All sought
protection in house. At last some
one succeeded in cutting the halter. and
the mule made dash. This broke up
the picnic. The mule had been Dor
rowed by a negro whom he had kicked
about year since, and for revenge, it
is supposed, the negro tied him near
the hives. Columbus (Ga.) Enquirer.

A City Of EarthQuakeSe

MANILA is the capital city of the
Island of Luzon and of all the Philippine
Islands. Is is the see of Roman
Catholic Bishop and is one of the great
emporiums of the East. Its aspect is
at once Spanish and Oriental; long
lines of heavily mounted batteries, SOM
Der churches, ungainly towers, and mas
sive houses of solid masonry minsle
with airy cottages, in groves of tropical
trees, raised on posts to permit the free
passage of the waters in the rainy sea-
son, and so constructed as, by their
elasticity, to offer some resistance to
earthquakes. In the main street, the
Escolta, are innumerable shops and
stalls and a motley population of various
races. Beyond the Escolta a swarm of
Chinese, Indians, and half castles appear
as goldsmiths and jewellers, painters
houses and cook-shops. Other suburbs
have their special characters. San Fer
nando is the seat of great cigar manu-
factories and Santo Mesa of a cordage
mandatory. At the Alcaiceria the Chi
nese sampans discharge their cargoes.
Fishermen and weavers inhabit the di-
vision of Tondo, and its gardens supply
the market with fruit and vegetables.
Malako is famous for its embroideries :;
Paco is inhabited by artisans and art
lists; convalescents resort for health to
Santa Ana and San Pedro Macati The
city was founded by Legaspi in 1871.
In 1915 it was nearly destroyed by an
earthquake. In 1862 it was taken by a
British fleet, and held for fifteen months.
Its Royal and Pontifical University of
St. Thomas is in the hands of the Do
minicans; its College of St. Joseph be-
longs to the Jesuits; the Escuela Pia be-
longs to the city and is for Spanish chill
dren alone. By the political changes of
the present century Manila has been
brought from state of comparative OBJ
security to rank with Calcutta and Ba-
tavia.

THE BEDOUIN'S REBOKE.


[ Ell
"A Bedouin OF true honor-good Nebar-
Possessed horse whose fame was spread
afar,
No other horse was half SO proud and strong,
His feet were like the northwind swept
along
In his curry ed neck and in his flashing eye
You saw the harbingcrs of victory.
So, many came to Nebar day by day,
Large sums they offered, and with grace be-
sought,
But all in vain-the horse could not be bought.
With these came Dahcr of another tribe,
To see If he might not the owner bride.
Yet purposclcss-no money, skill. nor breath,
Could part the owner from his horse till death.
Then Daher, who was subtle, mean and sly,
Concluded next, some strafa2em to try:
So, clothed in rags, and masked in form and
face,
He as a beggar walked with limping pace,
He fell, and PROSTATE on the desert lay.
The rise succeeded: for. when Nebar found
A helpless NAH in sorrow on the ground,
He took him up, and on the noble steed
Gave him place-but what a thankless decd
Said, You will never see your horse again"
"Take him." said Nebar, "but, for Mercy's
sake,
Tell no man in what way you chose to take,
Lest others, seeing what has hapP ed to me,
Omit to do some needed charity
Pierced by these words, the robbers keen re-
morse
Thwarted his plan. and he returned the horse,
Shame-faced and sorrowful: then skunk away
As if he feared the very light of dayl

FACTS AND FIGURES.

1t is estimated that the shipment
of peaches from Delaware this year will
reach 1882, 900 baskets.
1t is believed that over SO, 200, 900
a year are expended in private horti-
culture in Great Britain and Ireland.
In two years time the value of
lands in certain parts of South Carolina
has jumped from two dollars to ten dol
lars per acre.
The manufacture of sporting i'm
plements has assumed large proportions
in this country. 1t is estimated that
from 10000 to 0.000 sets of croquet,
100000 baseball bats. and 100000
base balls will be made for this season s
trade by single firm in Chicago.
The province of Buenos Ayres
counts 54.000,000 sheep. of which 49,
600, 900 belong to Irish settlers within a
days ride of the city. These flocks will
suffice, if necessary, to feed the National
Government army formany years, with
out counting 5000, 900 cows, which be-
long mostly to natives.
The destruction of Russia's grain
crops during the past two years has
been simply enormous. Statistics show
that the crop of 1879 was reduced fully
$50. 1000, 900 in value by the bad wealth
er and the various pests of the grain,
and it is now established that the show
ing this year will be still worse. The
exports for the first six months of the
current year are less than half those of
the corresponding period last year.
"A member of the Statistical Society
of London has computed the popula-
ton of that city as it will be at future
periods: In 1881 it will be 7,277, 900; in
20S1, 8, 63S, 900, and in 21S1, 9,O15, 600.
The population of England and Wales
together he estimates at 1873. 900 in
1901. at "a. 35S, 600 in POOL, at 127, 274.-
900 in 2101, and at 169, 081 200 in 21S1.
These figures are based on the theory
that the ratio of increase will dec inc
every decade as many per cent. as it
has declined on an average during the
past fifty years.
The number of marriages in En-
gland of divorced persons is not very
large, but it is steadily increasing. In
the year 1868 there were nearly III, 900
marriages, and only 40 were between
persons one or both of whom had been
divorced; but the report now issued for
1873 shows that there were 10Y such
marriages in that year among the 190,-
600, the total number. In the eighteen
years-186l -78-there were SS5 mar
riages of divorced persons. In 464 the
man was divorced man; in 4O5 the
woman was a divorced woman; in the
remaining 16 marriages divorced men
married divorced women.

There are highly nervous or sensi-
tive individuals who think they are ben
Gifted by insulating their bedstead from
the floor. Their experience leads them
to believe that without insulation their
magnetic forces are drawn off. They
have tried it both ways. Without in
sulation they arise in the morning feel
ing a sense of lassitude and an inability
to enter upon the duties of the day.
With insulation they arise full of en-
ergy and ready for any task. The insu-
lation is effected by using either thick
plate glass or pieces of rubber under
the feet of the bedstead. There are
those whose sleep is not only more re-
freshing but more unbroken when this
plan is pursued. We would therefore
commend this experiment to those who
are either wakeful or unrefreshed by
sleep.-Dr. Foote's Health Monthly for

One day recently, as one of our
prominent business men was about to
enter his favorite resort for dinner. he
was accosted by an individual with q
decidedly careworn expression who
begged that he would assist him to get
something to eat. AS the man looked
like a worthy object of charity, the
gentleman told him to go in. and directed
the waiter to give him twenty-five cents
worth of food and charge it to his
check, when, noticing humorous look
on the walters face, he asked him what
the hungry man had ordered. The re-
ply was, "Five glasses OF lager.

"A ten-year- boy, legs were
recently out off by train of cars at
Dubuque, Iowa, was too plucky to make
any fuss over the incident. When the
little fellow was taken home his legs
hung limp, but he did not complain.
Not tear stood in his eyes, but the
tender look he gave to those who stood
by his side told plainly that he was suf-
fering great agony. After the Doctor
had dressed his wounds he called his
parents, sisters and brothers to his bed
side, kissed one and all, and left tear
upon their cheeks. A second time he
called his mother to his side, placed his
arms about her neck and said: "Moth-
er, I am going to die in a few minutes.
Please forgive me for not minding you"
With this the little fellow fell back, and
as the mother said, /" Yes, my angel"
and took another look at his face, she
found him beyond all pain.

"A valuable dye has been produced
from camphor by DIR. w. H. Gregg, of
Elmira, N. Y. The only color that he
has been able to produce thus far is yell
low in variety of shades, but he hopes
to produce scarlet and carmine. The
special features of the dye, aside from
its novelty, are its brilliancy and the
peculiar fastness of its colors. Boiling
for hours in strong soap solution
barely turns the shade of cotton treated
with the dyes. The color will remain
good even after the fiber has been de-
stroyed.

The claimants to English estates
will be interested to learn that in the
parish of Kelsale, in Suffolk, there is a
property known as the "Kelsale House
Estate" consisting of mansion, two
farm houses, and 440 acres of land. On
this estate there is no known owner,
agent or occupier. No person is upon
it, and no labor of any kind has been
expendeduponitfort helast eight months.
The houses are uninhabited, and the
land a waste. The taxes are unpaid,
and the 1.-THE rent charge is not collect
ed. There are 100 acres of pasture land,
but so full of mole hills that the grass is
worth little except for feeding purposes.
The arabic land is a picture to behold :;
it presents a scene perhaps never before
witnessed, but often imagined, when
thinking Of Goldsmith's Deserted Vii
lage." Thousands of wild flowers now
in full beauty give an idea of fairyland.

A Dogs Achievement.

H. s. Lapham has owned q canary
bird and small cur dog about three
years. The two pets have, in fact.
known each other intimately all their
lives, and they have been on uncommon
ly cordial terms considering the radical
difference in their respective natures.
On Wednesday last the bird escaped
from its cage, and very soon after the
dog disappeared. When Mr.. Lapham
opened his front door yesterday morn
ing there stood the dog with the truant
canary in its mouth. Remarkable as it
is the bird was alive, and it now &C.
cupies its old quarters, not particularly
"chipper," it is true, but still in passa-
bly, good health. - Detroit Free Press.

1t is shown by statistics relating to
the years 1872 to 1879, that, while the
total income of the population in Prus-
STA has not diminished, the large and
very large incomes have fallen off, and
medium incomes have increased. The
fear of q progressive accumulation of
wealth in few hands seems to be
groundless, and the real core of the ma
ton, the middle class, is extending and
gaining strength. The buying power
of money in the country, after having
undergone an almost unbroken diminu-
ton from 1852 to about 1874, seems
in the subsequent interval to have be-
come steady, and even to have partly
risen.
