an Evil Omen.

Of the strange stories connected
with the melancholy fate of Alexander
ii. that have obtained currency since
following narrative, published in the
St. Petersburg Beehire, and alleged by
that journal to be in every particular
authentic:
One morning, about fortnight before
the catastrophe of the 18th ult, while
looking out of his bedroom window the
dead car noticed two or three dead
pigeons lying on the ledge of the bal
cony. As the imperial pigeons, like
those of the Piazza di San Marco in
Venice, are privileged birds, his Males
ty, displeased that they should have
been slain within the very precincts of
his palace, ordered an inquiry to be
made as to how they had come to their
death. 1t was soon discovered that q
huge hawk had taken UP. its quarters
in some out-ofthe-Way nook of the
Winter Palace roof, and emerging
thence every morning at dawn, it made
a regular practice of thinning out the
Emperor's flock of pigeons. Imperial
commands were issued that this invet-
crate columbicide should be watched
for and shot, but the hawk contrived to
evade the vigilance of the domestics
i charged with its destruction, and con
tinued to kill its two, three or four pig
cons daily with absolute impunity. A
powerful trap was therefore baited and
set for it upon the roof, and early next
morning it was seen from below, caught
by the leg, and struggling with all its
might to get loose Before the servants
could reach the spot to put an end to
the fierce birds agony, it had dragged
the heavy trap over the edge of the par
apet, and fallen with it upon the paving
of an inner courtyard, overlooked by
the imperial apartments. When the
Emperor was informed that the hawk
had met its death in this strange man
ner he appeared much disturbed in
mind, and observed several times to
his attendants that "the whole affair
was Of evil omen"

1t never pays to be impolite. A maj
dining in St. Adams hotel hit hi
neighbor with his elbow and didn'
apologize, and pretty soon the neighbo
jabbed his elbow into the offender
ribs, and the latter said "You thinl
you're smart, don't yer?" and thei
pretending to cut his meat, drove dig
into the other, and then they clinched
and it took four walters and the clerl
to get 'em apart, and they had to pa!
$27 apiece for broken crockery anC
furniture.

Somebody in Covington, Ga, has
projected new scheme for the pro
motion of matrimony. 1t is proposed
that an association of bachelors over
twenty-seven years of age be organized
each member paying SO into a COM
mon fund The first man that marries
will be entitled to all the money in the
treasury, when new assessment Of
SO each is to be levied upon the re-
manning members, and the struggle
will begin afresh to secure the spot"
Only twenty members will be allowed
to join and the last man in the process
sion will have to pay heavily for his
single-blessedness, just as the last man
in an assessment life insurance concern
finds himself left IN the cold.

Wilmington, (Del) Daily Republican.
Mrs. Adam Grub, 231 Walnut street,
has been a great sufferer for number
of years from. extreme pain in the feet,
something like rheumatism. She was
also very much troubled with corns and
bunions 1t was with great difficulty
that she could walk, and sometimes
when she would visit her husbands
shoe store or any of her children, she
could not get home again without assist
ance, and often when she was walking
along the streets she would be seized
with such acute pain that she was COM
PEELED to stop in at the neighbors on
the way until she got better. Some two
weeks ago she heard of the wonderful
cures st. Jacobs Oil was effecting, and
she at once commenced to use it and
experienced great relief Immediately.
The pains have left her feet and ankles
and the Inflammation has left the corns
and bunions. She is now tripping up
to her husbands shoe store and out to
see her children without experiencing
any pain.

So little Mia was brought to the
Commissioners house; the ladies put
a clean frock over her brown skin, and
she sat down to dinner with her new

The American did not answer, for he

FISHING ON THE RIVER.

Plenty of Black Bass Winch Have Been
hooked.
On Wednesday evening ex>Sheriif Amos
Croft and David X. Warfel, of the county
treasurer's Office, went fishing to Fite's
Eddy. They tished Oh Thursday and
part OF yesterday, and with Froelich Shoff,
their bOatman, caught 1O5 black bass,
eight Of the fish weighing Al pounds each
and twenty-five of them weighed from q
to 81 pounds each. The whole lot weighed
$50 pounds. This one of the largest catches
of fish that has ever been made
at this point by so small \ party. Every
body who is acquainted with the fishermen
knows that they know how to fish. They
sent plenty of fine bass around to their
friends and had lots to spare. These gen.
tlemen speak in the highest terms Of Fite's
Eddy as fishing point, and they think it
is the best fishing place on the river. They
stopped with Mr.. Clark Bostick, the we'll
known hotel keeper, an,l were treated in
excellent style by him. They had good
boats, good boatmen, plenty to eat. .togeth-
CT with good beds, and they had all the
fun that could bs shown them by their
genial host, who knows how to run
hotel.
Sheriff Strine never ':gets left when
he goes fishing, and his luck yesterday
showed it. He went to Columbia and
with Uriah Sourbeer went fishing below
the dam. They caught forty-nine black
bass of good size, and have very good
reason to be proud of it.
, E. II. Finn, of this city, who has been
at Rchobotll, Del, for several weeks, went
fishing with two friends the other day and
they hooked eighty five lake trout.

The Philadelphia Times says: Mot

notOriety rs was attained by the now with
cred beauty, Mrs Langtry. 1t would seem,
however, that at least one American girl
has caught the beauty" fever from the
other side. The st. Louis POST Dispatch is
authority for the statement that young
woman Of that city, Miss Nellie
Hazeltine, recently wrote to So
ciety correspondent of Eastern newspapers
recOuntins her numerous conquest ut the
White Sulphur springs, giving glowing
descriptions of her own dresses and request
ing that both c0nquests and dresses be set
forth to the extent Of at least two columns.
The st. Louis paper further states that
Miss Hazeltine's "pa" has just been
obliged to pay 81, 500 on account Of his
daughters Irritation with an actor, whom
the young woman addressed in several
gushing letters as MY sweet Pippo.' Ap-
parently Mr.. Curtis claimed too much,
unless, indeed, as all may we'll hope, the
St. Louis case is the exception that proves
the rule"
Our private information is that this Miss
Hazeltinc is just such goose rs the above
report indicates. Residents of Lancaster
who have met her declare her to be silly
painted creature whose little brain has
been completely turned by vanity and flat
