lance. Upon his promising to go quietly,
the officer released him from the nippers,
when he struck his captor singing blow,

promptness OF the officer in replacing the

his name was Fritz Mooney. A charge

A SAD DEATH.-1n our death notice.
this morning, will be found that Of Miss
Belle Miller, sister OF ]. A. Miller, Of this
city. No doubt the announcement Of the
sudden end OF Miss Miller will be a pain
full surprise TO her large host OF warm per.
sonal friends and acquaintance.
Miss Miller was just entering upon the
brightest part OF her life, with every pros.
pect OF making herself blessing TO hui
manity by her warm sympathetic and
friendly interests in those with whom she
came in contact Loving and gentle in
disposition, she made herself sunshine
and help to all, and those who were Miss
hiiller's intimate associates, will find her
place difficult TO FIJI, as, by her genial dis.
position it was delight to be in her So
ciety, at home and elsewhere.
About April LIST Miss Miller's health
was such that her attending physician
deemed 1t best that she should travel in
the South. She went to Columbia, South
Carolina, and, finding that she was not
benefited, returned to Baltimore, Md,
June LIST, where she began rapidly to sink.
About week ago she wrote for her
brother to come after her, as she realized
hCi LlLho 90 oiOlbt ahu oho WiohON W W
at home during her last sickness. They
arrived in the city Tuesday morning last,
on the early train, since which time she
gradually sank until 1880 a. NJ, Thursday,
when she gently passed into brighter
world.
Miss Miller was for number Of years
first alto in the Fourth street NJ. E. choir,
and for years has maintained position as
the alto OF Wheeling. Her face will be
missed as well as her soft sweet notes Of
praise, which she delighted so much in
singing.
Miss Miller was true soul inspirator,
outspoking through the voice, her love, ad.
Grafton and thanks to the Great Father,
whom she delighted to serve by singing
his praise, TO the delight Of her many
friends as we'll.
Miss Belle was almost thirty years OF age,
and her bereaved and loving brother has
the sympathies Of q large host OF friends
in this great sorrow.
The funeral notice will appear in satur-
days paper.

Oddities Of Selfishness.

Mere amusing are the strange fancies
that some persons have as to what over.
worked men may be asked to do for
them. In the very thick OF the Amer.
lean war there came to President Lin
coin an Illinois farmer in q great state
of excitement about o pair of horses
that one of Lincoln's generals had 70.
Questioned for the war. The owner
was Of course entitled to compensation,
but somehow it had not come. Going
to the president, he told him his story
and was rather chagrined to be told
that it did not lie with him to pay the
money. "Then," says the farmer,
Twill you undertake to write to the
general and see that the matter is set
tied PROPERLY" Poor lincoln, who
never wanted story to help him in an
emergency, was ready for his visitor.
When was rail-splitter," he said.
there lived near us a smart young
fellow, the captain of a Mississippi
boat, who could steer vessel over the
rapids with wonderful skill, as hardly
any one else could. One day, when he
was grasping the wheel with his utmost
strength, at the most critical point OF
the rapids. little boy came running
up to him in great excitement and said,
Captain, stop your ship, my apple has
fallen overheard !"
In the "Life of Sir James Simpson
there are some curious notices of the
extraordinary things that patients in
the country would sometimes ask him
to do. Once gentleman wrote to him
asking him to send him copy OF the
prescription which he had given him
some years before, when the doctor
could hardly recall the man, much less
the prescription. Others would ask
him to go to Duncan & Flockhart's and
get them some particular medicine.
A very busy clergyman OF our &C.
quaintance, when over lead and ears
with many things, once got letter
from q stranger in the United States,
explaining that more than century
ago some one by the name OF c.
owned property near Edinburgh
which was believed to have been des-
tined by will in q particular way SO
that the relatives in America thought
they had some claim to it. He was re-
quested to inquire into the matter, find
out about the will, communicate with
the present owners of property and put
everything in train for just settle
ment of the claim. It would have been
reasonable for the writer to inclose q
bill for $500, but that, unfortunately
he omitted to do.-Wacmilidn'S MagG

4 Remarkable Ship.

For the last six years the Rev. G. NJ.
Ramus, rector of East Guildeford,
England, has held his invention OF the
polyspheric ship ut the disposal OF the
admiralty. This vessel, it is calcu-
lated, will skim the seas at the rate OF
forty miles on hour or more. The
principle of Mr.. Ramus's invention
consists in making the bottom of the
vessel a series of inclined planes. In
1872 Mr.. Ramus made q model, having
its bottom composed of two parallel
and consecutive inclined planes; or the
vessel may be described as made up of
two wedges, the thick ends OF which
are placed abaft the thin ends. There
is thus in the center of the vessel IA
ridge where the thin end of the stern
most wedge abuts against the thick end
of the foremost. Any floating body
thus shaped must, when driven fOrci.
bly, through the water, tend to rise,
and if the speed is high enough it will
rise on the surface instead OF driving
through the water. These facts were
demonstrated by some rough expert
ments mado in the presence of credible
Witnesses. The propelling power in
lese experiments was q six-ounce
rocket. In one trial the model, weigh
ing three pounds three ounces, ran q
distance of one hundred and five yards
in three seconds. In another it ran
four hundred and eighty feet in four
and onc-half seconds, the water being
rippled by a strong breeze, but in spite
of this the deck was found to be dry.

The Food of the Danes.

The Danes mostly make q substan-
tial breakfast about 10 A. M, and dine
at 3 in the afternoon, the cravings Of
hunger being subsequently allayed
with schnapps. beer and slices OF brown
bread and butter, covered with piece
OF smoked salmon or some similar
delicacy. Every true Dane delights to
begin the day with basin Of olbrod-
suppe," composed of black beer and
cream, with slices of brown bread
floating therein. It is said to be very
nutritious. The strangest compound
Of which it ever became our lot to par
take was called "Rumpsuppe," and
was composed of milk, rum and pre-
served cherries, made hot and whipped
into froth. At dinner commencing
with such dish. it may be supposed
that it was difficult matter to choose
what to drink. and the after conse-
quences may be imagined, but need
not be described. Several Danish
dishes look more peculiar on the menu
than they do upon the table, for in
stance, "Forloren Skildpaddle" (mook
turtle), "R1get Gaasebryst" (smoked
goose. breast), etc. The proverbial
honesty Of the Danes shows itself on
the tariffs in the restaurants. where
