Had Met Her Mother.

The following really occurred at the
Bagshot bazaar, recently, in England:
A young gentleman thought he fancied
a certain article exposed for sale at one
of the bazars, and he was certain he
fancied the lady who presided at the
bazaar. He remarked, therefore, that
he thought that particular article very
pretty. The lady said: Eyes, it is very
pretty. My mother sent it.. '.Ahi

The young gentleman did not wait for
the last train from Bagshot.

Strange Phenomen a.

Many strange sounds, real or imag-
mary, have been heard in the working
of Natures processes. There has been
reported to exist on distant island in
the Bay of Bengal a phenomenon
known as the 'sBarisal guns which is
often heard at the beginning of rain
fall, and is like the sound of the firing
of cannon. An observer has decided
that these sounds are atmospheric and
in some way connected with electrici-
ty. Mr.. Horne, reporting on the vii
lagos of the Himalayas, describes ex-
ceedingly powerful noises heard in the
highest mountain peaks, to which the
natives can ascribe no cause Above

Growth of the Traffic in Frogs.

In spite of the prejudice existing
against the frogs, frog-eating has now
established itself firmly as an Ameri-
can institution. For a time it was con-
fined to the Eastern States, but soon the
hardy Westerner suceumbed to the GUS
tom of effete Europe, and Chicago and
San Francisco are as deeply in the mire
as Boston and New York. At E1gin,
H., there is a man who found 1t SO
profitable that he went into the bust
ness few years since of raising pc
culiar kind of frog for the Western
markets. While here in many cases
they are sold under fictitious names, it
is said that in the West they are served
up as fried frogs. A considerable inn
provement has taken place in this trade
recently, and dealer says there is
good demand for all that can be Sc
cured. Many restaurants and most of
the hotels have the delicacy, though
not on the regular bill of fare, only
serving to order. A large part of the
frogs sold here are native. but there is
curious competition on the part OF the
Canadian article In Canada the busi-
ness is conducted on large scale and
the industry, which lately received con-
siderable encouragement by the IN
creased demand, is at present very
promising Numbers of boys who have
become quite expert. spear the frogs in
the country ponds and streams and sell
them in the city to the commission
dealers, from whom they receive 5 to
10 cents dozen. The commission men
skin, pack in ice. and ship them to the
Northern and Western cities, where
the delicious tidbits bring them hand
some profit In this city the frogs are
sold generally by the dozen, and bring
from 20 to so cents. according to quail
ty. AS the demand increases the bust
ness will furnish quite a source OF rural
income. and thrifty Cape Codders might
consider this suggestion, as from per-
sonal observation it is known chat vast
numbers of frogs are there which now
| live to respected, serene and honored
old age. The subject of canning frogs
is now being talked of, and efforts are
being made to discover a good process
for this purpose.-Bostoaa Commercial.

Tba Defandant; Paws. ar Oourse.

A novel point was recently raised at
Thompsonville in this wise: A man
was sued, and on the day designated
in the writ for trial the Justice forgot
about the matter and neglected to at
tend. Both plaintiff and defendant APP
peared and waited the full hour. As
the law provides the Justice issued mo-
tice, had the case reopened, and after
a hearing by jury. judgment was rem
dered for the plaintiff for the debt and
all costs. The query was whether the
defendant was liable for the extra costs
of service for notice. The case was
submitted by only the plaintiff and de-
PENDANT, and ably argued on both sides.
A decision was rendered that as be-
tween those two the defendant should
be held liable. If the Justice had been
included as party to the arbitration,
no doubt the extra cost would in equi-
ty have fallen upon him. ford

The Star CAMILLA.

The star Capella seems to be earning
the title of the Comet Pointer. It was
used few weeks ago to indicate where
the comet that suddenly blazed out in
the northeast was to be seen, and now
it serves as a sky mark to show the
place of the new comet that is just
coming into sight. Capella has been
the usher for big comets before. The
star is very interesting on other &C.
counts. 1t is one of the suns that re-
semble our own sun in constitution,
but Capella, placed at the distance our
sun is from the earth, would appear al
most unendurably brilliant, while the
sun, with its fiery girth of more than
$500, 600 miles, would look like pig
my in comparison. Capella seems to
be slowly growing brighter. 1t is gen.
orally ranked as the second star in the
northern hemisphere. Arcturus alone
exceeding it in splendor. It seems to
have changed color, like Sirius. Some
of the ancient sky-gazers, and one as
late as the tenth century, describe it as
red. Now its light is brilliant, creamy
white. In mythology Capella repre-
sents the sacred goat of Jove.

A Small Fortune for a Lieutenant.

a young gentleman in this city re-
Gently received information that a let
ter bearing his name, with the prefix
Lieutenant was in the Post Office.
and he was requested to call and see if
it was intended for him. He went to
the Office accordingly, and stated that
lie had no right to a military or naval
title, although he had been Lieutenant
at a military school some years before,
and the letter might have been written
by classmate. The letter was accord
ing1y handed to him, and he opened it
and read it as follows: ssDeo4 SIR: Do
not think that your gallant conduct in
rescuing two ladies from drowning at
-. in 1873, has been forgotten. By
the viii of near relative of one of
them, just deceased, you are set down
for bequest of S27, 000.'' The young
man had never performed the gallant
feat thus recounted, and was reluctant
ly compelled to admit that he had no
claim to the letter or fortune. Whether
the right man has yet been found is
