From the Springfield (Mass.) Republican.
remember certain frequent companion
when was boy of thirteen or fourteen years,
whom no one, however Indifferent to the
Sunday school standard, could have stretched
charity to call good boy. Yet there were
times when he would lay aside his impish
tricks, call me, nothing loath to go into the
woods, and for an afternoon be nearly per-
feet companion. He seldom talked, and
when he did, it was to notice some wild deni-
zen of the shades and tell of its habits. The
woods had never before been so full of life !;
| saw the little creature with his eyes. Some
times he would throw himself upon the mold
in a nook where the sunlight trickled through
the leaves, and with satiny strips of the
white birch bark between his teeth, utter a
curious wild ululation like the blending of
many forest cries, and it was strange to hear
the sudden chatter of the red squirrel, and
the rich toned, slower answer of the grey
squirrel, and perhaps the chipmunk's sharp
zip, respond to it. 1t was plain enough that
his call had meaning to those free citizens
of the greenwood. When Hawthorne's Won
derful romance of ''The Marble Faun" came
out, not so long after, it reminded me of this
exceptional trait of my not otherwise congen-
ial companion. He had strange familiarity
with snakes, too, and used to scare the timid
children half out of their wits by suddenly
liberating among them Kissing green or
striped serpent; harmless, to be sure. but not
at all comfortable thing for boy to pull
out of his bosom, next his skin, as this boy
did. I believe it was the snakes he really
had affinity with. Perhaps it is because feel
that it ought to be so, but it now seems to me
that the answers of the birds and squirrels to
his call were not friendly, but angry and re-
sentful.

A Leap Year Proposal.
[San Juan {Cal.) Herald.l

Not many miles from San Juan-not more
than tifteen-resides young farmer, who is
not over twenty five years of age. He has
considerable OF the requisite, the coin. Up
to within very short time he had led lone
ly life, but thanks to the year 1880, which
has proved his salvation, a young lady has
proposed to him and he is now enjoying her
society as his wife The following is the
way it was brought about: The young man
had every qualification for a good business
man, but, Notwithstanding all this, was ex-
tremely bashful and blushed clear to his ears
every time he caught sight of a young lady.
Moreover he imagined he was a fright to be-
hold, and no girl would condescend to look
with favor upon him. In fact it was his
opinion that he was destined to lead single
life of blessedness all the days he might wan
der about on this terrestrial sphere. One
day, however, he stopped at the house where
resided a lovely girl She had seen how shy
he was on every occasion and became in
fatuated with the peddler of apples and gar
den truck, and was determined that the ice
should be broken, as leap year had arrived,
which gave her every privilege in this parti-
cular granted to the sterner sex. The young
lady, therefore, walked up to him as be stood
by the WELL and, calling the young man by
his given name, asked him why be did not
get married. He replied with characteristic
non-esteem that he didn't think anybody
would have him. Why" replied the young
lady with great fervency, 81 will have you. d"
The young man turned red and stammered
by turns, but finally did manage to tell her
"All right" Arrangements were made at
once for the marriage ceremony, and in less
than week they were living together as man
and wife, happy as birds in a nest.

The Solid South.
New York Tribune.1


1t is of great importance to the Republican
party to make no fallacious calculation of the
chances of carrying any of the Southern
States, either with or without General Grant.
Whatever votes may be cast in that section,
it is absolutely certain that the Solid South
will be counted for the Democratic candidate.
People talk sometimes as if the policy Of
President Hayes were the cause of the total
suppression of Republicanism at the South,
and as if the mere nomination of General
Grant would raise it up again. We must not
forget that II was during the administration of
General Grant that the Republican party in
the South went to pieces. He carried seven
Southern States in 1872, with fifty-three elec-
toral votes and before he went out of office
the shotgun Democracy had virtually taken
possession of every one of them. 1t was un-
der the administration of General Grant that
the enormous Democratic outrages ere COM
mitted in the campaign of 1876, which con-
solidated the rebel South, dis:ranchised the
freedmen, nullifed the constitutional amend
ments, and came within an ace of securing
the presidency and reducing the country to
bankruptcy. When he took the presidency,
the Republicans had majority of more than
four-fifths in the Senate and nearly two-thirds
of the House. When he left it the Demo-
Gratis had nearly two-thirds of the House,
and States enough to give them certain con-
troll of the Senate within a short time.

A Proposition Before the British Parlia-
ment TO Abolish the Action.
New York Times |

| lNeW York Times
The question has recently been discussed
in England whether it would not be wise to
do away with the right of action for breach
of promise of marriage. At the last session
| of parliament motion was carried in the
House of Commons declaring that the action
ought to be abolished. except when actual
Decuniary loss had been incurred by reason
Of the promise, in which case the recoverable
damage should not exceed the pecuniary loss.
This sentiment is based on the allegation that
the right of maintaining an action for breach
of promise is often most scandalousy abused.
A recent case of this kind was cited in the
House of Commons. A woman sued cler-
gyman for breach of promise. She was 35
and he was IS years old. He denied that he
had ever promised, intended or wanted to
marry her. She procured a witness to cor
roborate her story. The clergyman was
mulcted in $3.50 damages. 1t was afterward
proved that the plaintiff was an abandoned
woman, who had been convicted of theft,
and had attempted to blackmail two other
persons by threatening actions for breach of
promise. In another case scOundrel brought
an action for breach of promise against q
lady for the sole purpose of extorting money
from her. And he succeeded, for she pre-
ferred to pay the villain $5, 900 to having her
letters read in court and published in the
newspapers. There is no doubt that this
right of action is subject to grave abuses,
and that it has given rise to many scandalous
cases. But, on the other hand, it is equally
unquestionable that, when properly used, it
is means of getting justice. 1t is remedy
that has been, and will be. generally sought
by women, who are certainly entitled to ade-
quate means of legal redress when they have
been wronged and injured by the arbitrary
breaking of marriage engagements. The law
governing such actions may need amendment
so as to prevent the evils which have -four
ished under it but the total abolition of the
right would cause more mischief than it
would prevent. An important reform was
made in the law in 1869. Prior to that time
neither of the principals in breach of prom
ise case could testify. 1t will be remembered
that the injured Mrs Bardwell was not al
lowed to tell In evidence of ''the revolving
heartlessness and systematic villainy" of 1.-The
ruthless destroyer of the Domestic oasis in
the desert of Goswell street," nor did the law
permit the heartless Mr.. Pickwick to explain
on the witness stand the meaning of his
''chops and tomatoe sauce" and warming
pan." The act of 1869 opened the witness
box to both plaintiff and defendant in a
breach of promise case, with the proviso,
however, that verdict shall not be recovered
unless the testimony of the plaintiff is cor
roborated by some other material evidence.

A Famous Leadville Mine Petered.

The stock of the Little Pittsburgh mine
suddenly fell from SIS to 70 on the news
conveyed by Leadville dispatches that the ore
reserves were practically exhausted. Mr.. T.
F. Van Wagenen, late Supt. of the Leadville
Mining Company, who was requested by
New York parties largely interested in the
property to make q thorough examination of
the mine, after doing so reportedby telegraph
as follows:
have made thorough underground ex-
animation of the Little Pittsburgh. The mine
is gutted except low grade iron, which is
being shipped to make show. In New
Discovery there are not more than two divi-
dends left Some of this is in very bad shape
through defective timbering. There are no
new discoveries and no immediate prospects,
1t is generally conceded here that the bottom
of the Little Pittsburgh has dropped out.
This is unwelcome news from the great
mineral district of Colorado. 1t creates at
once a distrust in the permanency of the
Leadville silver mines, and other properties
of probably immense value will suffer IN
consequence. The Little Pittsburgh w1s
stocked at $40, 600, 600.

THE ASIATIC VAMPIRE.

The New York World furnishes descrip-
ton Of the South Asiatic Vampire, a living
specimen of which was recently received in
that city. 1t is the veritable ''breath-sucker"
so much dreaded by Asiatic natives. This
rare creature, perhaps the only living speci-
men of the kind in this country, is about one
and half feet long, has a pair of piercing
black eyes which shine like diamonds, a
double row of sharp worries similar to those
of the weazle, and its powerful wings when
stretched its full length measure two and a
half feet from point to point. The vampire
hangs suspended from bar, in the centre
of the cage in which it is confined, by a pair
of formidable claws, and when in position
of repose resembles closed umbrella. Its
body is covered with comfortable coat of
brown fur, while its beautifully -proporlioned
head, which has a remarkable similarity to
that of diminutive black-and-tan terrier
dog, is surmounted by pair of large shell.
shaped ears. This strange creature is almost
totally blind during the day, but at night its
little eyes twinkle with astonishing brilliancy.
The vampire is kept in temperature of
about seventy degrees, In order to conform
as nearly as possible with the climate of its
native home.

A Hermit's Fight with q Bear.
New York Tribune.l

New York Tribune.
A bear story, of which hermit is the hero
is recounted in special dispatch from Bus
kill to the Philadelphia Press. Old man Shell
don had no companions, and his lonely cave
is several miles from any house. He has no
weapon save knife, which he manufactured
by rubbing an old file on a stone until it be-
came sharp. A few days ago the hermit
went out in search of firewood and was alb
sent about an hour. When he returned he
was amazed to see large black bear crouch
ing in one corner of his underground abode.
Before he could get out of the cave however,
the bear sprang toward him, dealing him a
hard blow on the shoulder.
Sheldon drew his knife and stuck bruin in
the neck. but the wound only infuriated the
beast. He again attempted to retreat, but
the bear renewed the attack. The hermit
then endeavored to deal him another blow in
the neck with the knife, but the weapon
glanced and severed one of the animals paws.
Sheldon succeeded in getting out of the cave,
where the struggle was renewed. the bear
getting him in his embrace and nearly hug
|ging the life out of him; but the old man was
|plucky and drove the knife into the moster's g
Iheart, killing him instantly. AS the bear fell
dead, sheldon tainted, and was found uncon-
scious, several hours later, by party who
had set out from the village to visit his cave.

Mr.. G. was pastor of Baptist church in
a certain town in one of the Western States.
He had been on very bad terms with his
flock for some time. They abused him when
ever they could find occasion, and he recipro-
Gated with equal readiness. Before his con-
tract with the parish expired, he received the
appointment of chaplain at the State Prieon.
Elated at this lucky opportunity of getting
rid of him, the congregation came in full

RAILROAD MARCH.

Tramp! tramp! the siege of the gravelers
Circles the Gate of the Mountains to-day;
Down through the vista long line OF travellers
Follow their footsteps, as flowers the May;
the cheer for the waste and fen
Waiting to bloom meath the conquerors sway!
Cheers for the good wire that brought up the order
forward the iron rails over the border!"
Clang! clang the signal bell cheerily
Rings and glad echoes float over the land;
False prophets only will shake their heads dreary,
Beating the air with wind-broken wand.
Wheel into line again, riders and wagon men!
Who cares to lead, when in union we stand?
Lend hand loyalty speeding the order:
Bring up the iron rails over the border.
March! march the year of our jubilee
Dawns on the air of this stormy spring tide;
Hearts shall grow young to-day, flags fling their beauty
free
Gree ing the track up the pleasant divide.
Montana, mountain queen! put on thy grassy sheen,
Glory of cactus, and shine as a bride;
Silver spikes, haste to the work in your order;
Drive home the iron rails crossing the border!
On on the land shall no welcome know
Gadder than shouts of your victory won
Gray rocks have gifts for you valleys in summer glow
Lavish their wealth in the wake of the sun.
Cheers for the railroad men cheers for sturdy pen
Linking with iron all nations as one;
Lovers of commerce, of progress and order,
Cheer for the iron rails over this border!

SENATOR WINDOW has introduced bill to
create national savings banks. 1t provides
for the establishment, under the authority of
the Comptroller of the Currency, of saving
institution for the receipt of deposits, on
which an interest shall be paid at the rate of
three per cent per annum, and those deposits
shall be secured by ninety per cent. of their
value in United States bonds, held in trust for
depositors by the Treasury Department. The
bill merely extends the national bank system
SO as to include savings banks, but does not
allow them to issue.
