Nav and Paw.

Watch Hill Letter in New York Tribune.
The following dialogue and conclud-
ing remarks were one of the features
of recent midnight in one of the
hotels here:
"Ma?'
"What, dear"
as that you, MAJ"
eyes, dear"
"Pa?''
"What, dear?'
Good might, ma"
Goodnight, dear"
Good night, pa"
Goodnight, dear"
The dialogue had been repeated at
intervals of fifteen minutes for two
hours, when an elderly man in the
adjacent room, who had been trying TO
sleep all that time, rolled out of bed
with thud, climbed up into the tran
som. and, putting his head cut, shouted
at the top of his lungs: "Yes, it's me,
NAV, and it's me, paw; now 60 to sleep,
you little brat, or I'll come in there and
chew You up" Five minutes later a
holy calm brooded over the house, and
no sound was heard save the last sob of
a weary wave telling its story TO the
smooth pebbles of the beach.

Smart Widows al SaratOga.

1t was a Chicago lady who won $500

viii chever you like Ladies are getting
to be very fond of betting. and they
are always pretty safe in their ven
lures, since they never pay If they
lose, and several of them have made
some "lucky hits" already this season.
1t is the fashion now, not only for
ladies, but the children have also their
betting books, and are as expert in
making enteries therein as any follow
er of the turf. II took Chicago widow
to enveigle bewitched old widower
into betting a pair of thoroughbreds
against box of cigars. The widow

write is this moment dashing by be.
hind the thoroughbreds on her way to
the lake, with another man by her
side. These widows are the most art
full of creatures, and Saratoga is full
of them. There is one pretty and
lively woman of this species here who
has two engagements on hand at
present and several others impending.
she wears two engagement rings on her
little fingers, which would be emba ris-
ing to most feminines, but not to this sly
widow. When lover No. l sits at her
side it is his ring which glitters softly
upon her finner. The other ring is
tucked snugly away in her belt. And
if she has no time to remove the ring
she turns it artfully around so that il
appears an Insignificant rim Of gold TO
which nobody could object. This wild
ow, as may be supposed, has numer-
GUS correspondence from love smitten
youths, and her collection of original
love letters is something unique. The
other day she dropped a package of
letters from one of her sweethearts
and rival lover picked them up.
This was rather troublesome for the
widow, but, as usual, che found her
way of escape. There CHANGED to be
another woman with the same name
as her own in the place, and she de-
clared the letters belonged to her, and
actually sent them TO her, having first,
however, arranged mattars with her
namesake by making her a valuable
present.

Losses by Fire.

According to the figures published
by the Commercial Bulletin and Insur-
ance Chronicle, 1882 has been 80 far an
extraordinary year in the extent of
ravages by flame throughout the coun-
try. The estimated losses for the first
eight months foot up more than SOL
600 900, which is more than 5000, 900
in excess of the total for the same
months Of last year and nearly 81 0O0,-
600 greater than the average loss for
the corresponding period of the four
years ending 1881. The July record
Of losses were higher this year than
ever before, except in 1866, the year Of
the Portland fire, and the August record
higher than in any recent year, except
1881. The destructive progress made
by flame in the past five years is shown
by the fact that The estimated losses
for August have increased from less
than Sc 100000 in 1873 to 100000 IN
1882, while the aggregate losses for
eight months have grown from $46, OOO,-
600 in the former year, to more than
SCI 100000 in the latter.

The Duke of Sutherland has under
taken a rather interesting agrarian
movement on his Scotch estate. He
has broken up the sheep farm of Kin
brace, which covers A, 900 acres, into
nine holdings, which are to be, or have
been, let on favorable conditions. Most
of the grazing area of the Scotch up
lands is in holdings of 10000 to 10000
acres, and, therefore, available only for
heavy capitalists. The Duke began
improvements on this part of his prop
erty five years ago, when some 1900
acres we're brought under cultivation,
and have been so far titled that they
now yield prodigious crops. In carry
ing out this new experiment the land
lord will supply houses and fences, and
the tenants will be left free to use their
capital in the purchase and care Of
their stock.

THERE is a good deal of Illusion about
the rise Of the Nile. 1t seems to be
thought that for few weeks the delta
and the valley of the Nile are lake,
and then that they are a muddy
swamp. The water of the Nile flows
into canals; from thence it is pumped
every morning, as long as the rise lasts,
into small rills, which permeate the
fields, which are thus irrigated every
morning. The water evaporates every
day, leaving in the evening dry mud.
Thus, except in some low-lying dis
tricts, there never is an expanse of
water or mud.

THkRE are two popular notions say s
the New York Sun, that, though they
contradict one another, have adher-
ents throughout Christendom. One Is
that which is called natural death
takes place with the ebb of the tide 1,
the other, that it occurs after midnight,
in what are called the small hours be-
fore dawn. The records show, as
might have been expected, that the
Black Rider, who respects neither age
nor worldly condition, is Indifferent in
timing his visits. In New York last
week the greatest number of deaths
took place at IL o'clock in the day,
when there we're seven; but there were
five deaths in each of the
hours of 3, 4, z, and 10
O'Clock in the morning and 8, 4, and Z,
O'Clock in the evening. Four persons
died at five O'Clock, six o'clock, and at
nine O'Clock in the morning and at one
O'Clock and six o'clock in the evening,
and three persons died at each of the
hours of l aud . o'clock A. NJ. and s,
10, and II O'Clock P. M. There hap.
pened to be no deaths at five o'clock in
the evening. There were ten more
deaths before noon than after it.
More than half of those who died
we're children under five, of summer
ailments. Hotels were the scenes of
10 deaths institutions, 40; tene-
nents, 400. Only one death on the
sixth floor of a house is recorded,
though they were 179 on second floors.
The death rate is put at 29.71 in 1000,
but the board of health estimates the
population at 1,2S4524, which is ac-
cording to popular belief, quarter of
a million less than the actual number
of people in the city.

weak at one time that / could not leeVe

admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said l had "A hole in

doctors and medicines. l was SO far
gone at one time a report wen around

my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but l got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and gratif-
cation, / commenced to feel better.
