Tho living skeleton of San Francisco
sde-sbow went out for a walk on railroad
track A locomotive knocked him down
and ran over him. He arose and continued
his walk. The four inches between the
cowcatcher and the ties had been sufficient
for his thinness. He was incidentally well
advertised, but paid for It In bruises and
scratches.
The Toronto Evening Neacs settles the
Egyptian question as follows; "Arabi is
like the DEVILS pet, whom Milton represents
az saving. NV sentence is for open war
The Khediye is like Belial, War, therefore,

Ira Fletcher, self exiled from his native
village in Maine by disappointment In love,
rosmed for forty years, and then yearned
for a sight OF his home. He was received as
one from the dead. But all about him was

youth were dead. This saddened him, and
he brooded over It. A family gathering was
in preparation In his honor, when he left his
friends and fed, apparently indifferent

A New York paper says that artificial
trout raising is pronounced fat failure as
a commercial operation. Ten or dozen
wears ago there was a sort Of fever on the
subject, and great numbers of men in the
East made ponds and bought eggs fry, ex-
pecting to get rich, but the results are in
significant. The attempts were particularly
! numerous on Long Island, but hardly any
preserves now exist except few maintained
| as luxuries by nabobs. One OF the most sue
cessful is that of the Southside Club, which
furnishes sport for ali of the 100 members
who want it, and has 5000 or 1000 pounds
for market each year besides.
One of the most notable decorations worn
at the recent christening Of the youngest
heir to the German throne was the Order of
the Golden Fleece, which cleaned upon the
breast of Prince Frederick Charles. There
are no new specimens of this decoration
made nowadays, the old ones being handed
down from knight to knight, the name Of
each successive owner being engraved on
one of the links. 50 it happens by strange
| freak of fate, that Prince Frederick Charles,
the Red Prince, q liberal minded but earnest
Protestant, wears the very chain once be-
slowed by Philip II. upon that stern and re-
lentless prosecutor Of heretlcs, the Duke Of
Alba.
The Hon. Lyman Barnes, one Of the lead
ing attorneys and best-known citizens Of
Wisconsin, went to Florida three months
ago for his health. 4 few weeks ago he
left his hotel for a short trip across the
country, and on the way had to cross a
swsmpy piece Of land infested with alliga-
tors aud wild animals. He never arrived at
his destination, and it is thought that he
fell a victim to some of the dangers he had
to contend with. Three Of Mr.. Barn !
most intimate friends have left Appleto
for Florida to ind him, dead OF alive, and
| ascertain what may have been his tate, but
not much hope exists OF ever sgaln seeing
him alive.
The correspondent Of the Vest African
Exporter does not fear to say that Prince
Ausah, who denied that 200 girls had been
massacred by the King Of Ashantee, is not
to be believed. TIE Prince is an Ashantee
/ by birth, and one OF the royal blood 1t Is
| not likely, therefore, That he would be apt
/ TO give Trustworthy account OF what re-
| fleets dIscredit both upon himself and upon
! his country. The King of A'hantee is
known to be bloodthirsty and cruel mon
! arch, ard, as the correspondent who Is
quoted inmates, there is no reason to
| Question the truthfulness Of the charge just
brought against the King.
20 guard on tAe Southeastern Railway
of England is due the credit for a novel
scheme for collecting funds for widows and
orphans of railroad employees. At his sug-
gestion an Intelligent dog, which has been
appropriately named "HelD," travels upand

will mutely soliciting aid. He is carefully
looked after ana fed by the employees. and
readily makes friends with travellers He
wears handsome collar setting forth the
object for which he is travelling, and re-
