Bishop Spaulding, of Peoria, is
not satisfied with the training of students
at theological seminaries. They get
too much offs smattering "of the high

their duties as priests satisfactorily"
Hence he wants new institution found

leave the present seminaries, shall study
from two to six years longer.

The Boy WOLF

In his eminently interesting work,
entitled Jungle Life in india" Mr..
Ball has adduced good reasons for be-
lieving that the old classical story of
the rearing of Romulus and Remus by
a she-woH may be founded on fact.
This author cites the case of two lads
in an ophanage in Sekandra, near Agraf
who had been discovered among wolves
and in many ways shared the habits of
these animals. One of his stories is
supported by a letter from Prof. Max
Muller. 1t says: A trooper sent by a
native Governor of Chadaur to demand
payment of some revenue was passing
along the bank of the river about noon,
when he saw large female wolf leave
her den. followed by three whelps and
little boy. The boy went on allfours,
and when the trooper tried to catch him
he ran as fast as the whelps and kept
up with the old one. They all entered
the den, but were dug out by the
people with pickaxes, and the boy was
secured. He struggled hard to rush
into every hole or den they came near.
He became alarmed when he saw a
grown up person. but tried to fly at
children and bite them. He rejected
cooked meat with disgust, but delight
ed in raw flesh and bones, putting them
under his paws like dog. They tried
to make him speak, but could get moth.
ing from him. but an angry growl or
snarl."
Another instance is quoted as having
occurred at Chupra. A Hindoo mother
and father went out to cut their crop
in March 1643. The woman had with
her q little boy, who lately had been Sc
verely burned on the left knee. While
che parents were at work. the child
was carried off by wolf. Some time
afterward wolf with three small cubs
was seen about ten miles from Chupra,
followed by a boy. The boy, after
much resistance, was caught and rec
ognized, by the mark of the burn on
his knee. He could eat nothing but
raw flesh, and could never be brought
to speak. He used to mutter and snarl
but never articulated distinctly. The
pans of his knees and the points of his
elbows had become horny from going
on all tours with the wolves. In No.
vember. 1850, this boy escaped again
and disappeared in the jungle. Thus

snarling out the rebelious spirit natural to
him, and suggestively lowering his head and
drawing up his sleeve from his right wrist;

tumbled up to the deck as fast as they could.
''We didn't mean no harm, sir" pleaded those
who were nearest me. and who were forced to
linger.
No, the lubbers no harm! But If Bill Bow
ser had struck me down with his knife, they
would not have moved finger or tongue to
save me, or to keep themselves from the crimes
of mutiny and murder on the high seas. Yes;
that's what your merchant-seamen have come

Giving a Flavor to Meat.

From Land amt Water. r
The following amusing story, told me
by the late Bransley Cooper, was after
ward published in the life of his dis
tinguished uncle, Sir Ashley Cooper.
1t is stated that upon one occasion Of the
Athlete Club meeting at Mr.. Coleman's.
at the Veterinary College, he promised
Mr.. Norris, President of the Royal
College of Surgeons, who was a great
gourmand, that he would give him a
Joint of beef from Markham's and
ordered a fine sirloin to be sent on tn,
appointed day. The party met, the
promised beef soon made its appearance.
The host cut for his friend Norris one
of the primest slices, and soon, in ex-
ultation, inquired if 1t were not to his
hearts content. To this Mr. Norris
replied, 1.-The beef is good beef, but |:
is not my friend Markham's.n ''Poohi
Poohr" said Mr.. Coleman: "Tll swear
it is, Norris. for 1 called myself at his
shop and ordered it, and this morning
had it delivered at my house by his own
man; but l may be wrong, Norris; how
ever, to decide the matter, If you please.
I'll lay you u bet of q dinner for the
party that it is Markham's beef"
The butcher was sent for. Coleman
put the question: 'Mr. Markham, all
l have to ask of you is, was the beef
your man left here this morning your
own meatP" mo SIR" said he sit was
not. l have to make a thousand
apologies; for although you yourself
gave me the order ten days ago, Inever
thought of it till 1 looked in my book
this morning, when l knew / had MOTH
ing in my shop that would answer the
purpose. 1 therefore myself went to
every butcher in the market and picked
out the finest piece 1 could find. and 1
hoped 1t would prove satisfactory; but
the beef is not mine" Norris laughed
heartily at the successful display Of his
gastronomic faculties. and the whole
party Joined in the fun against Coleman,
who was generally SO sagacious in his
bets as TO make it quite a novelty when
he lost. The secret is this: Markham
was in the habit of buying stock much
older then butchers usually buy for GER.
tain Of his most peculiar customers, and
afterwards feeding it himself in some
peculiar manner before bringing it to
the slaughter-house. So superior To-
that of any man Of his day was his beef
considered, that many persons, of whom
Mr.. Norris vas one, would pay the
most cxorbitant prices for meat to be
supplied by him. Mr.. Norris was tho
grandfather of Lord Penzance and
several Of the Wilde family.

Horrible Calamity.

Pittsburgh, Pa, Dec. lO.-Thi-
morning at o'clock fire occurred at
Gibson Station, Pittiburgh and Erie
railroad, seven miles from here, in n
shanty where nearly fifty railroad
workmen boarded and were sleeping
at the time. Ten of the men were
burned to death, three more were
fatally burned, and four others manned
for life.
Twenty-three Of the occupants of
the loft succeeded in squeezing
through the openings, some with
underclothing on fire, others rushed
frantically across the room uttering
agonizing cries, but the smoke speed
lily sutfOcated them. The survivors
writhed in pain and shivered i'm the
frosty air. The sufferers were cared
for as soon as possible and brought
here on special train. All the men
lived in Pittsburgh, and their families
being notified of the calamity, the
scene at the depot, when the charred
remains reached here, was heartrend-
ing.
Tht names of the dead are Patrick
Foley, James Kearns, John Kennedy,
Michael Doyel, Michel Donahue,
John Reilly, Thomas Foster, John
Conners, John Duffy and Patrick
Clancy. The fatally burned are
Michael Morlin and Patrick Ford.
The manned are John Riley, Michael
Leonard, John Connolly and Hugh
McCune.
The men were sound asleep after n
very hard days work, and it was ow-
Ing to the great gain the fire had at
tanned before its heat awakened the
men, and to their utter confusion at
their situation, that the loss of life
was so great. AS it was no survivor
escaped entirely unhurt or with more
clothing than he had been sleeping in.
The building was Il rude board
structure, ,forty-three laborers sleeping
in the loft formed by the sloping roof
ana the two openings for light were
closed at night by sliding doors. The
loft was filled with straw and other
conbustible material and the structure
burned almost like powder. The
stairs leading to the loft were IL little
better than ladder.
The fire was caused by the explosion
of lamp in the kitchen. The keeper
of the house, who was up, aroused his
wife and the servant girls and they all
escaped. The keeper shouted to the
men up stairs, but the flames spread
with great rapidity cutting off all
means of escape that way.

Death of Col. John w. Forney.

Colonel John w. Forney died at his
residence in Philadelphia at $3.50 A.
NJ. Friday, December 8, 1881.
John Weiss Forney was born ut Lam
caster, Pa, September 30, 1871 In
1888 he became an apprentice in the
printing Office of the Lancaster
journal, and in 1887 editor and joint
proprietor of the Lancaster Intelligent
cerj I'm 1910 he united that paper
with the Journal. He removed i'm
1913 to Philadelphia, where he was
long the editor of the Pennsylrdnid,t,
one of the most decided of Democratic
joui nails. In 1851 he was chosen clerk
of the United States House of Repre-
sentatives, and was reelected In 1853.
Meanwhile his connection with the
Pennsyicanidn had ceased, and he had
become editor of the Union, the Demo-
cratic organ at Washington. He re-
signed this post in 1856, returned to
pennsylvania and was chosen chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee. In January, 1857, he was the
Democratic candidate for the Office of
United States Senator, but was defeated
by Mr.. Cameron, and on August fol-
lowing began in Philadelphia the pub
lication of the Press, an independent
Democratic journal. Although he
advovated the election of Mr.. Buch-
anan to the Presidency, he became n
determined opponent of his admins
tration when the Lecompton constitu-
ton of Kansas became the topic of
public debate, and he was again chosen
clerk of the house of represen tatives

Republicans. During the civil war he
gave constant support to the nation al
government. In 1861 he began the
publication, in addition to the Press

Postmaster James, Resignation.

Postmaster General james has
written and forwarded to President
Arthur his official letter of resignation
as a Cabinet official, to take effect on
the first of January next.
The friends of Observation-Disclosures
James deeply regret that he is COM
PEELED to leave the Postoflice Depart
ment in advance of the close of the
fiscal year. When General James left
Washington last Friday, it was with
the expectation that he could arrange
his business affairs in New York so as
to be able to remain in the Cabinet far
into the summer. A conference with
the directors of the Lincoln National
Bank, of which he is President, has
since convinced him that it would be
impracticable to neglect his private af-
fairs longer than the 1st of January,
and he has asked the President to ac-
cept his resignation on that date. Mr..
James successor will not be named by
the President until after the holiday
recess.
