Mrs. Arnold WIS showing a FREUD

was undergoing d g.rond and final coat
of inside paint, ,ti-d gave promise of
being estheticaliY beautiful, as the
decorative fervor of the age demanded,
the color being q delicate shell pink
like the inside of rose.
Isn't it lovely ?" said Mrs. Arnold,
admiringly, to her friend ''You see
this is an east room, and so it IS to have
the tints of the morning. Some might
think it too delicate for everyday use,
but | shall make that very deGcacy a

toddling behind her. ''Baby woc' t

''Baby won't" cooed the little one,
in its sweet idiOm, and giving it kiss
and admiring caress, the young mother
pointed out to her friend the beauty of
the window embrasure and the view it
commanded.
II shall sit here summer afternoons
with baby. Won't it be lovely Lace
curtains within and green vines without.
1t will be picture and poem both"
And they strolled on, leaving the
two-year old baby looking with far
seeing eyes through the pretty window,
and it was not the rosy tint of the paint,
nor the flush of childhood that spread
slowly over the little face, and sent a
tired little head to seek in vain for rest
on its mothers bosom. All thought of
the tributaries of beauty or art passed
from the mind of the young mother as
she saw her darling's fever-hushed
face, and she locked the beautiful east

a coIored man employed by Mahlon
Vail, at Newmarket, near Plainfield, n.
J., was severely injured few days ago
in an encounter with young stallion,
the property of Mr. Vail. The man was
leading the animal to the barn when it
suddenly sprang upon him and knocked
him down, and kneeling upon his body
began to tear his clothing and flesh.
Several bystanders came to the aid of
the victim, but were unable to drive off
the horse until a basket was thrown over
his head. This bewildered him so that
the man was enabled to get away and
start for the barn, but the enraged
animal made another rush at him, and,
knocking him down again, endeavored
to trample upon him. The bystanders
attacked the stallion with clubs and
stones, and finally stunned him.

Fishing for the BalOlo.

Only on two days in the whole year
do these creatures come to the surface
of the water. Ehe first day is in OctO-
Der, which is hence called Little
Balolo," when only few appear. The
natives know exactly when they are
due, and are all on the lookout for them.
They make their calculations by the
position of certain stars. After this no
more are seen till the high tide of the
full moon, which occurs between the
goth and 25th of November, which hence
takes the name of "Great Balolo,"
when they rise to the surface in count
less myriadS, always before daybreak.
At certain well-known points near the
reefs the whole sea to the depth of sew
eral inches is simply alive with these
red, green and brown creatures, which
form one writing mass, and are pur-
sued by shoals of fish of all sizes, which
come to share the feast with the human
beings. For several hours
there is the merriest sport and laughter,
every one bailing up the worms and try
ing who can most quickly fill his canoe.
All is noise, Scrambling and excite
ment, the lads and lasses each carrying
wicker baskets. with which they capture
the worms without carrying too much
salt water on board. As the day dawns
these mysterious creatures sink once
more to their native depths, and by the
moment of sunrise not one remains on
the surface, nor viii another be seen for
a twelvemonth, when, true to its festi-
val, the balolo viii certainly return.
Never has it been known to fail in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant, white
or brown. Nor is there any record OF
any one having seen one rise to the sur.
face on any save the two appointed
DAYS, which are known as the Little
Balolo'' and " Great Balolo. - II
