The Swans Party.

Aswan once wished to give party and
everything was arranged for it; but his
servant, the frog, made q mistake in the
invitations, and when the swan was
swimming about near the shore of the
pond watching for his guests, to his sur
prise there came the cuckoo, the swal-
low, the nightingale, the sparrow, and
the-duck. He had expected the duck;
but what could he do with the other
guests, who were not used to the water?
The duck waddled on, pumped into the
water and whispered to the swan: "What
kind of guests have you invited, god
father What can they do in the water?"
''That is just what should like to
know" answered the swan. my SER

trick. It cannot be helped now, so we
must be merry on the land. The gentle
men and ladies would all We drowned

So shey both went ashore and bade the
guests welcome, and the frog was imme-
diately sent off to find worms and beetles
so that the strange company might at
least have meat.
It was very unpleasant for the swan
andduck and it was very warm, so they
went to a cool place. At first the other
guests, the cuckoo, the swallow, the
nightingale, the robin and the sparrow
walked quietly with them, but they soon
fell into their accustomed ways; they
hoped and futtered first, then flew in
all directions.
"Where are they all, cuckoo, sparrow,
nightingale and swallow" said the swan,
impatiently.
The cuckoo, who heard his name
called, flew down, and said, proudly:
Here I am, what do you want?"
"Oh" answered the swan, 81 only

"That can have the honor of telling

A Brooklyn Heroine.

Miss Tillie Trimble, who lives with
her parents OF 80 Fourth place, became
known as heroine in that part of Brook
lyn yesterday. On Monday afternoon
she caught burglar in the house. AT
ter giving an alarm she grabbed him
around the neck and held him, with the
assistance of her mother, till police.
man arrived. Miss Trimble is q very
prepossessing young lady. nineteen
years old. She has regular features,
fine complexion and teeth, dark eyes and
a trim figure, but not a girl whom an
acquaintance would think could be de-
| pended on to capture the burglar
Now, tell me all about it, Tillie," re-
| marked her mother, when the reporter
called last evening. Her father puffed a
pipe, but all the time looked proudly al
his daughter. ''It was about ] 30 in the
| afternoon" began Miss Tillie, "when

It sounded like something dropping on
the floor. [ first thought that one of my
brothers had come home. I went ub to

of the parlor. There is q hall room
which is entered from the bedroom. The

and he ran after me. His big foot came
down on my right foot and hurt it badly.
He stumbled against the foot of the bed
and succeeded in reaching the hallway.
I fell down the stairs and he rushed
after me. I reached the street and
yelled, thief, robber 7 and ran back into

big brothers giggled, but she paid no at

''mother had him by the collar, and he
tried to break away, but we held on, and
he dragged us into the front courtyard.
He asked me what would take to settle
it and let him go, and said that nothing
but policeman would settle him with
me. Several men came to our rescue,
and finally Officer Cassidy arrived and
took charge of him. There were $50 in

THE COMET.
1t has Reached it's Nearest Ap-
prOach TO the Earth.

The comet has approached as near
to the earth as it will be allowed to
come 1t is now only 100000
miles away, whereas ON the I'd Of
September, when first recorded, it
was 94,00O,000 miles distant. Being
almost four times nearer, however,
has not made any perceptible differ
ence to its general appearance, eff
feet or value. It's tail is about as
IoEg as ever, but shows fainter at
the end, owing to its being turned
away from US, It can be seen ap-
pearing above the horizon shortly
after midnight, and the whole is in
full view before l o'clock Before
it entirely disappears, which viii be
in month or two from now. it can
be seen early III the evening.
Astronomers disagree rs to the
identity of this comet. some declar-
ing that it is an entirely new one,
never seen before, while many others
positively identity it as the one
which Newton observed so critically
and averred would not return for
seven or eight years, yet it came in
1843, again in 1880, and now, only
two years afterward, it comes again
Its speedy return is now propheciee
and also that on that occasion it viii

Utah Diamonds.

a S. l.. Tribune correspondent
says: Considerable excitement has
been caused by the diamond dis
coveries at place 20 miles south
west of Frisco. Charles Lamersdorf
has been gathering precious stones
for some months, and last week he
took several thousand of them to
Salt Lake for exhibition. 1t is
claimed that these are diamonds and
other stones when cut and polished.
The land where they are found
covers about 300 acres of wash or
gravel beds, and it is also asserted
that gold is found in the same
ground. A rush was made to the
place recently and the ground was
staked of. What will become OF
this we know not. and we are not
prepared to offer an opinion as TO
the nature of the find if there is any
value attached to the stones. Tiffany
& Co, Of New York, have had
specimens which they pronounce o.
value, and it may be that wher
depth is attained in mining, larger
aud better ones viii be obtained.
