How CurraE Broke Down.

A successful man can well afford
to tell of his first failure, and laugh
over it. The great orator Sheridan and
the Prims Minister, Lord Beaconsfeld,
broke down in their first parliamentary
efforts; but they foersevered as every one
must who will triumph. The following
is Curran's description of his first APP
pearance at debating society:
{" I stood up. My mind was stored
with about folio volume of matter;
but for want of a preface the volume
was never published. l stood up,
trembling at every fibre, though re-
Numbering that in this was but imita-

Newfoundland Dogs.

Every one is familiar with the char
acteristics and appearance of the New
foundland dog, but few are aware that
it is a popular mistake to suppose that
to secure good specimen Of these no.
Bile animals it is necessary to send to
the country from which they are named.
In point of fact the pure breed is almost
extinct in Newfoundland, and there are
to be found there now in their stead a
race of mean-looking, shabby, cowardly
thievish mongrels, the degenerate de-
scendants of a once noble race, and as
different from them as the modern
Greeks from the heroic Greek of Homer.
Neglect, i'll usage, starvation and hard
work have wrought the change. Rather
more than two years ago an effort was
made to introduce another breed, the
celebrated Leonberg dog, the finest in
the world, a development of and a de-
cided improvement on the original
Newfoundland. The breeder of this
race is Count Esseg, of Leonberg, Writ
emberg, and hitherto his endeavors
have been crowned with success.

What an English Election Mob Can Do.

On Friday, the election day for Crick-
lade. holiday was granted to the men
employed at the Great Western Railway
Carriage Works, near New Swindon.
1t was at first thong hit that the election
would pass off quietly, but soon after
six o'clock the crowd became vicious,
and, starting from the lower part of
New SWindon, attacked each of six or
eight hotels and inns which had been
placarded with Conservative bills, and
by means of stones and bludgeons
smashed in the lower plate glass win
dows and the upper windows, and filled
the bars and the bedrooms with fiints
and bricks of every size and shape.
Most of the landlords had had warning,
and managed to get their doors locked
and their bars cleared of glasses and
jugs, and with their families and Gus
toners, secluded themselves under the
bar counters OR in small back rooms. In
one case the mob attacked china shop,
kept by Conservative elector. wrenched
off the bar of the shutters, which they
pulled down, crashed in the window
and did damage to the stock upstairs
and down to the extent of f40 or 900.
They then passed up to Old Swindon,
smashing the public lamps and the
windows of several private houses and
there attacked three or four well-known
hotels, and then they turned to the back
of the premises of the North Willis
Herald, the printing offices of which
were lighted up for the men who were
at work getting out the paper, and sent
stones through the windows and caused
the stoppage of the printing machine.
A body of policemen turned the roughs
out of the lane, and prevented their at
tacking the front of the offices in Bath
Road. After that the mob went again
to New Swindon, still smashing and
bowling as they passed down Prospect
Hill, and there continued the uprOar.
1t was now getting on toward midnight.
1t had been feared the disturbance, if
any, would take place at Cricklade, and
there the larger number of constables
had been gathered. But matters went
off quietly there, and the police were
despatched as soon as possible to Swim
don, where they arrived in time to ena-
BILE the local superintendent to tell the
mob in Regent street that if they did
not dispense and cease their violence
he should attack them. The ringlead-
ers sneered, and threw a volley of stones
at the police, who, about thirty or forty
in number. ran upon them, and after a
stiff struggle, dispersed them, and no
further attempt was made to continue
the riOt.-LO,1do21 TeEeqraDh.

Claude MeIn0tte In Real Life.

[ was recently told by young French
gentleman (the son of the Project of
La Rochelle) one of the strangest ro-
mances OF real life that ever came to
my knowledge. Some four years ago
a peasant boy who lived on a farm near
the town of Clermont-F errand saw and
fell in love with the beautiful daughter
of gentleman of good fortune and po-
sition, he being at the time seventeen
years of age and the young lady lust
sixteen. This new Claude Melnotte
was so madly in love that he went
straight to the house of the young girls
parents and demanded her hand in
marriage. The father treated the pre-
posterous proposition with good-natured
scorn. ''Come back when YOU have
an income of 10000 francs, $40, OOO),'
was his answer, land then we will see
aboutit." The infatuated youth took him
at his word, and forthwith set to work.
Now, one Of the peculiarities of the
town OF Clermont-Ferrand is scarcity
OF water. There is no river near it, so
it relies for its water supply on springs
and wells. Under these circumstances,
a spring is valuable piece of property,
and commands a relative high price.
SO the young peasant lover set off for
an adjacent mountain, there to search
for hidden springs. My informant said
that he had honeyconlbed the whole
side of the mountain with his works,
constructing at one point tunnel over
two miles in length. All this was exc
cuted with his own hands. He works
from dawn to dark, lives upon potatoes
OF his own planting, and never spends
SO much as sou upon a mug of beer
Every Sunday he goes to mass in the
town, after which he proceeds to the
house of his lady-love, TO ask if she is
married, or likely to be. On receiving
response in the negative he plods con-
tentedly homeward and starts out
fresh to his toll on the morrow This
life has continued now for full ten
years. Up to the present time he has
discovered three important springs,
each of which he has sold for $1,000,
but though now possessed of what for a
man in his condition of life is wealth,
he abates none Of the hardships of his
existence. He has one fixed idea,
to become the possessor of a
fortune sufficient to enable him to claim |
the hand of the object of his blind pas
sion. Yet no one who knows the part
les even imagines that the young lady |
will ever consent to marry him. She
is now twenty-six years of age, and is
pretty; refined and accomplished.
while he is coarse, unlettered peas
ant, without even physical confines,
as he is short, thick-set, with broad,
stolid countenance. What will be the
end of his dream. I wonder? My in
formant told me that the story was true
in every particular; he had himself WIS.,
tied the works, and entered the curl
ous tunnel. and been presented to this
new Jacob. willing to serve even more
than seven years for his Rachel.-Mrs.
Hooper's Letter to PHILADELPHIA Iele-

FOREVER NEW.

Once more the sweet unrivallcd spring
Makes green the grass about our doors;
In living light the phoebe scars,
And, thrilled with life, forhears to sing.
Yet those broken notes belong
Sweet ecstasies, too deep for words,
For we must leave to eager birds
That which we fail to put in song.
Though no new tidings she may hear
me same with each succeeding May
Yet must we listen and obey
And find immortal passion there!
Though hills are green, and country ways,
And were since Life and Time began,
There comes anew to every man
The hope and power Of April days.
SO might these eager lines contain
A breath OF spring that stirs me through;
The springtime is forever new,
The April sunlight and the rain.

A Dear Kernel That Biddy Picked.

The Cincinnati Commercial relates a
most curious case of diamond robbery,
and how it cost gentleman twenty.
eight dollars to stoop over and look
into hen-coop.
A Mr.. Hawthorne, who came hero
from New York few days ago on a
visit, had an experience on Broadway
yesterday which is simply unparalleled.
Setting off his very handsome dress was
q 5000 diamond pin, the diameter of
which was about half an inch.
While sauntering up Broadway lie
stopped in front of Haggerty's produce
establishment and bent over q pile of
coops to watch the antics of some of
the chickens which were feeding. The
diamond caught the eye of silly fowl,
"a hen, of course-and darling its
head between the laths. it seized the
gem. Unfortunately the fastening was
not what it should be, and a sharp jerk
tore it loose. The hen swallowed the
diamond, and Mr.. Hawthorne's attempt
to catch it gave it such fright it
rushed among the other chickens and
lost its identity, 80 fur as he was con.
cerned. He went into the store to COM
plain and was delayed somewhat
When he came out again the coops had
all been moved, and Hawthorne could
not even recognize the 5000 one.
A conference was held with Mr.. Hag-
gerty, and it was agreed that the only
way to make sure of the jewel was to
kill all the chickens in all the coops.
This was not q great undertaking, for
the house supplies hotels with dressed
chickens. and would not have much
trouble in disposing of the lot. So
Haggerty agreed that if he was allo wed
twenty five cents dozen for killing i'm
mediately, he would find the diamond.
The coops we're carried to the dressing
room and the seventy-two dozen chick
ems were killed. The eight hundred
and fifty eighth chicken had the dia-
mond carefully slowed away inside,
and Mr.. Hawthorne gladly paid
eighteen dollars for the killing, and ten
dollars to the woman who found the
diamond,

Gratitude Of an Elephant.

A story comes from Tenbury, Eng.
land, where menagerie has been pay
ing visit, which illustrates the well
known character of the elephant fol-
humane feelings in q remarkable de-
gree. Among the animals was q very
fine female elephant, called Lizzie,
which was attacked with violent tit OF
collie. and suffered intensely. A local
chemist, whose success as an amin al
doctor is we'll known, treated Liz
zie" and saved the animals life. On
the procession passing the chemists
shop on Friday, the elephant immedi.
ately recognized her benefactor, who
was standing at the door of the shop,
and. going to him, gracefully placed
her trunk in his hand. The chemist
visited the exhibition at night, and
met with AN unexpected reception from
his former patient. Gently Selling the
doctor with her trunk, the ele
plant encircled him with it, to the
terror of the audience, who expected
to see him crushed to death, bu
Lizzie had no such intention, ant
after having thus demonstrated hel
gratitude by acts more eloquent Rthal
words, she released the doctor from
her embrace and proceeded with hel
appointed task. The elephant seem,
to possess Q holier sense of gratitud,
than some people do.

The Peddler and the Sheriff.

Several years ago travelling vender
of small wares was arrested In u certain
county in Virginia. and sent to Jail for
peddlipg without license. The Sheriff
of the county being cognizant of the
case pitied the poor fellow and procured
his release; and as he was almost PEN
niless he not only freed him but gave
him few dollars as capital to begin
with anew. The peddler went his way,
and was no more heard Of in that re-
gion. Years passed; and by and by
our centennial came, when Sheriff t
concluded to come north, and see some
friends and visit the "great exhibition"
So, having made good his resolution,
and while passing along the streets Of
P on his way to the great show, q
man rushing from certain establislfn
ment and Selling him by the skirt s2ttI
luted him somowhat in this way: .'Ohi
Excuse me, sir! SurelyVou are Sheriff
=, from R county Virginia ?"
The sheriff answered, ~ have filed the
Office you speak of. and that is my
name. but who are you, pray "Who
am ?" rejoins the stranger with emo.
ton. "Bless your dear heart! Do you
not KNOW tno pooC PeouAcE you ouSo
let out Of Jail down in your county,
aud to whom you gave few dollars to
start within" "Ohl ! think I do re.
member something about that" says
the Sheriff, "but that happened long
ago; and can it be possible that you
are the man 2" g. am the very man,
Sheriff T. God bless you sheriff,
am the very identical man; and to your
generosity owe all that am worth to-
day. Your three dollars have made
me worth over thirty thousand! Oh!
what can I give you? Or, what can /
now do for you here to-day for l don't
