A year or so ago n little Girl living
near Rathboncyillc. ~ Y, village on
the line of the Erie railway, was pre-
scented with pair of doves. One day
three weeks ago, they were dying across
the railroad track when the male bird
came in collision with the Smoke-stack
of the Pacific express, which passes the
spot about I O'Clock in the morning,
The bird was Killed by the shock and
instantly thrown out of sight Of his
mate. The female circled about the spot
for q few minutes, in evident amaze
mcnt ut the sudden disappearance
of her mate. She then flow TO Il mile
post near 10y and for long time gave
uttcrancc to the mOUrniul notes char
actcriStiC of the dove. Suddenly she
seemed TO realize what had carried the
male from her sight, and she rose in
air and flew swiftly in the direction the
train had conc. She did not return
until about noon. She alightcd at her
cote, where she remained the rest Of the
day uIlcring her plaintiye cries. Next
morning, just before Z o'clock, she was
seen to fly away aud take u position
near the spot where she last saw her
mate the day before When the express
train came along she flew at the loco
motive, lowered about the smoke-stack
and around the cab as if looking for
her mate. She accompanied the loco-
motive for a mile or so and then return
ed 10 her cote Every day since then
She has repeated this strange conduct,
She goes to her lookout for the train at
precisely the same time each morning
and waits until the train comes along,
no matter how late it may be, She
never goes further than about mile
with the train, returning to her cote
and mourning piteously ali day.

Boys and Cigarettes,

Physicians and moralstS alike are
panied by the spectacle, growing more
common every day, of paIe-faced lads,
ranging in age from sixteen to twenty
years, who are putting their little lives
away in cigarette smoking. Day and
night they throng the streets, whr.a
the peculiarly offensive odor general
by cigarettes made o. cheap paper and
bad tobacco renders their smoking rs
obnoxious to Others as it is hurtful to
themselves. Every evening before the
door ( the theatres they raise a cloud
OF foul smoke that is equally injurious
to their own rickety constitutions and
to the noses of their victims. Doubt
less, also, they carry their perniciouS
habit into their homcS-whcn they are
old enough to do SO without risk of tho
spanking that they deserve.
The cheap cigarette is Il modern in
vention, and a peculiarly vicious one.
Twenty years ago when the cigarettes
all came from Cuba, and were wrap
ped in rce-paper, smoking them did no
great harm, Moreover being made OF
strong tobacco, only Il boy of stout
stomach could smoke more than two or
three of them at a time. But 10 meet
the boyish demand cigarettes are sold
nowadays both cheap and weak. They
are made of mild, often bad tobacco;
and for the most part they are wrapped
in ordinary white paper. Rice-paper
wrappings necessarily increase the cost
and the boy who wishes to prove by the
ordeal of smoke that he is not boy
but n man, much prefers the article
that he can get the most OF for his
money. Moreover, the boy does not
know the difference apparent to the
sight between rice paper and ordinary
paper; any more than he knows
that while rice-paper burns away with
scarcely any smoke ut all, common PIT
per burns with u foul smoke that cuts
like u saw into the chest and throat.
So he spends his pocketmoney on
cheap cigarettes and makes everybody
around him uncomfortable while he
smokes himself away into an untmely
grave.
OF course the boys do not mean to sin
against themselves and their neghbors.
They 10 not realize what u bad smell
their nasty little cigarettes make; and
they are very far from knowing what
serious injury the smoke from them in
i|icts upon their threats and bronchial
tubes and lungs. They smoke in inno-
ccncy, knowing not what they do, but
most earnestly believing that their
smoking makes men u them. Down
in the depths of then hearts the most
of them have n sincere affection for
smoking; and in the depths of their
stomachs they rot unfrequently en-
terrain q feeling of positive aversion
forward it. But they hang on to
their pestilent habit with a perSistcncy
that in better cause would be-
worthy of all praise; sitting the die
tates of conscience and asserting n bad
mastery over the rcbollions of the flesh.
And II reasoned with they answer in
The words o. dear John lecch's had

THE MICHIGAN yeREsr FIRES
A Sad Picture Of DeSolation. 0n1er.
ing and Death.

NV York, September 1.-THE
following telegram was received this
morning by Mr.. Chas. P. Crosby,
President of the Michigan Fire Relief
Committee in this city:
PoKr HURON, Mich, September IA.
TO the Michigan Fire Relief Com
mittee, New York City: have just
emerged from the burnt district; have
travelled over rs miles Of roads in it.
The suffering and devastation is in
describable. In many places, as far as
the eye can see, along land once oc-
cupied by comfortable homes and
prosperous people, scarcely anything
is perceptible but whatseems a bound
less sea of ashes. from which arises a
sitting odor Of burning flesh and
bones. Blinded and FIRE craEed people
abound. Transportation is difficult
and supplies come through slowly,
especially at a distance from shore
and railway. A man is asked the
whereabouts of his wife and children
! and he stares wildly. He leaps at a
loaf bread and leaps away like a wild
| beast. Almost hourly names of addi-
tional victims ore added to the burned
and to the death list. The homeless
are thousands; the blinded, scorched,
crippled and deranged are very, very
many, j. S. MACDONALD,
Secretary of Committee.
MEMPHIS, September M.-The
don key donated for the ,eneft Of
the Michigan sufferers sold at auc-
ton for 800. He will be shipped to
Cincinnati and sold again.
MEMPHIS, September i4.-At a
meeting held this afternoon of citi-
zens for the relief of Michigan suffer
ers the committees reported that
81 500 checks for the same was for.

sUIrEAUING GUIrEAu.

On last Monday, Sergeant Mason,
of Battery B, Second Artillery, in 60
ing to the Jail with the guard relief,
approached the cell of Guitteau and
deliberately fred atthe assassin with
his rife, the ball grazing his head.
Mason at once surrendered himself
and gave aa reason for his &c.
"that he was tired guarding that
s-of-a--b Of an assassin. He has
been placed under arrest and will be
tried by military court martial.
Mason isa native of Virginia and
has been in the service some nineteen
years.
Guitteau was much dem0ralixed
by the occurrence and begins to feel
now the gravity of the wanton crime
he committed on the person OF the
President.
Mason's act lie unquestionably an
unlawful one, prompted no doubt by
the deep popular hatred which is felt
towards the despicable assassin Of
President Garfield.
We cannot consider Mason in any
other light than as . self constituted
executioner Of les taIioais, which de-.
mands an eye for an eye. 1t is only
to be regretted that Mason and hii
rifle were not at hand when Guitteau
fred on the President.
Mason's case 10 a novel one, the
solution Of which will be fruitful Of In.
teresting opinions.

TUESDAYS nIOT4NG IN NEW or.
LEANS.

The strikers, on Tuesday, made
New Orleans the scene of tumult and
bl0Odshed. Drivers of floats and la
borers were stoned and fred upon by
ugly customers bento mischief. In
some cases the men assaulted return
ed blew for blow and shot for shot.
One of these Jim Wilson, a colored
man, fred in self defense wounding
one John Linsky. Another driver
rode up Tchoupitoulas street pistol
in hand aud was let alone. At the
Natchez Press, Hugh Early, at the
head of twenty men armed with shot
guns went to his work.
The police numbering 223 men
under Chief Boylan, acted generally
with cOmmendable determination.
Near the steamship CALICO crowd
Of 800 men raised a disturbance to
prevent the work of loading from
going on. A volley Of scattering
shots were fred when all hands broke
in every direction, no one being
hurt.
Mayor Shakespeare, finally called
on acting Governor NeInery for as
sistance, whereupon the latter issued
an order placing the city under the
control of the militia, some 700 OF
whom reported for duty at their ar
mories.
Great excjtementpreyailed through
