"A Story of BernRaarets.

A strange story is current about Sara Bern
hardt. Il is said that Sarah. wishing to get
all the impressions that can contribute to the
progress of dramatic art, obtained q perma-
nent card of admission 10 the hospitals 10
order to study the agony Of death. A few
nights before her departure On her European
journey she went to the Hotel-Dieu. The
doctor indicated the bed, No, II, and Sara
went and sat down by the bedside OF ayoung
Woman who was at the point of death. The
woman had her eyes closed at the moment,
suddenly she opened them, and seeing Sara
dressed in black, with her pale face, express
siye eyes and cadaveric cheek bones, she
was seized with terror, and stretching out
her emaciated arms, as if to push away the
artist, she cried ia h~eartrendering tones; All!
! know you, terrible apparation, you are the
angel Of death you came the other day to
take away one Of my neighbors; out ] am too
young, / will not die; BECOME terrible specter.
And while this terrible emotion took away
the girls last breath, Sara fell fainting at the
foot Of the bed.

But the judge did worry and fret, not only
over the danger Of bis daughter and money,
but blamed himself severely for his careless

Even among his graver fears for his broth

haunted him.
Il ought to be ashamed of myself to leave

PRISCILLA,

NV little love sits IN The shade
Beneath the shining roses.
and gravtly seWe in half q dream
The dainty measures Of her seam
Until the twilight doses.
Hook and long, yet have no care
To break her maiden muslng;
idly toss my bookaway,
And watch her pretty fingers stray
Along their task confusing.
The dews fall, and the sunset light
Goes creeping DER the meadows;
And still with serious eyes cast down..
She grayeIy aews her wedding gown
Among the growing shadows.
Ineeds must gaze, though On her cheek
The bashfuI roses culver
She is SO modest, simple, sweet,
That /, poor pilgrim, at her feet.
Would fain adore forever.
A heavenly peace dwells in her heart:
Her love is yet half duty;
Serene n serious, stllt ana quaiuts
She's partly woman. partly saint.l
This Presbyterian beauty.
She is so shy that ell my prayers
Scarce win a few small kisses;
She lifts her lovely eyes TO mine
And softly grants, with blush divine,
Such slender grace Ga this Is.
I watch her with q tender care,
And 10Y not free from sadness;
For what am / that / should taHe
This gentle soul and think 80 make
It's future days all giadness7
Can I fulfill those maiden dreams
In some imperfect fashion
/ am no hero, but / know
Love you, dear! the rest I throw
Upon your sweet compassion.

QannOn,s Case,

New York, 5.-HerdId'S Washington:
Mcpherson. prospective clerk of the next
House, is given as authority for the
statement that probably the names of
delegates will not be called till after the
House is organized. It is then probable
that when Cannon's name is called he
will be objected to by Page, Of California,
Haskell, of Kansas. or some other west
ern man. Then it will bring up the
question of who is entitled prineo facie
to the seat, Campbell, who has the Gov
crnor's certificate, or Cannon, who has
been placed on the rolls by the clerk.
A precedent was establish ed in the Forty
third Congress, when Cannon himself
mad the certificate and his right to be
sworn in was challenged by George R.
Maxwell, his contestant. Cox and Pot
ter, ofNe York, Hoar, of Massachusetts,,
Maynard, Of Tennessee, and others in
sisted that as Cannon had the certificate
of election from the Governor of the ter
ritory he must be sworn in, and it was
done accordingly.

board who attained prominence for theil

chise on the city, with Mayor Ksllcck,
took the position that their time did not
expire until tonight, and during the day
met and chose fire commissioners FOR the
ensuing term. The board also met and
elected fire commissioners of their own
choice. Mayor Blake, in tne course Of
brief and informal inaugural, suggested
to the board the propriety of giving for
NAL expression to its sentiments on the
Chinese question at an early day, with
the view to siding the California con-
gressional delegation, and securing de-

WONDERS OF DREAMLAED.-The
longest dream lasts less than minutes.
A man fell asleep as the clock tolled the
first stroke of twelve. He awakened
ere the echo of the twelfth stroke had
died away, having in the interval
dreamed that he committed a crime, was
detected, after FIVE years tried aud con
demned. The shock Of finding the hall
ter about his neck aroused him TO con-
seriousness, when he discovered that all
these events had happened m an inGnl-
tesnal fragment Of time. Mohammed
wishing to illustrate the wonders o
sleep told how certain man being q
Sheik found himself iorhis pride, made
q poor fisherman; that he lived as one
for sixty years, bringing up family apc
working hard; and upon waking from
this long dream, 80 short time has
he been asleep, that the narow-nccl
gourd bottle with water, which he knew
be overturned as be tell asleep had no
time in which to empty itself.

G&Accordlng TO the Nineteenth Cen

easing the consciences Of those who
hold that Saturday IS the Sabbath:
He recommends them to make voy-
age around the world, as Sir Francis
Drake did, going out OF the Atlantic
Ocean westward NY the Straits OF Ma
gellan TO the East Indies, aud then TO
the east, returning by the Cape Of Good
Hope homeward, and let them keep
their Saturday Sabbath all the way.
When they come home TO England they
will find their Saturday 10 fall upon our
Sunday, and they may henceforth con-
tinue 10 observe their Saturday Sab
bath on the same day with US.

VmrUEITs Own REwARD.-There If
nothing so noble aad tGae hing as a realty
spontaneous act Of generosity, after all.
The other day a rough, careless looking
stranger was walking up Mission street,
near Sixth, when he observed a lot OF
hoodlums clustered around the gate Of a
small farmhouse, in front OF which a
poor woman was weeping bitterly, sur
rounded by her terrified children. A
scanty array OF household goods on the
pavement showed that it was a case oil
ejectment.
"What are you abusing that woman
for :" demanded the imam from below,
addressing an ill-favored individual who
was carrying out the furniture.
II amt abusing her." growled the
landlord "she can't pay her rent, and
I'm going TO bounce the whole outfit,
that's all"
"Ive a good mind to bounce you, "
said the stranger, Indignantly; What
the amount she owes You 2"
"Twenty-two dollars"
"Here, take ii out of that" and the
angry man took outhi wallet aud handed
over 500 greenback
The evicter respectfully turned over
receipt and the change. Forcing an
additional Nv" on the happy woman,
the stranger walked rapidly away.
"Centric cuss, that said the house
owner, looking after the philaathropist,
musingly.
But the philanthropist SAID nothing
until he turned the corner, when he
murmured softly to himself, as he put on
little more pedestrian steam:
ats no use talking-vrtue is its own
reward couldn't have got another
such chance to work off that counterfeit
in year. - San Francisco Post.
