An Extraordinary Traveller.

Many persons, both in this colony
and elswhere, will remember Mr..
Christian F. Schafer, an eccentric Ger
man traveller, and regret to hear that he
is dead. Mr.. Schafer was native OF
Hesse Cassel, and Notwithstanding a
weak constitution and the malforma
ton of his spine, he always had strong
desire for travelling. His ambition was
to visit every country, civilized and I'M
civilized, and it is stated that he trav-
eled through France, Spain, Switzer-
land, Italy, Turkey, the Holy Land,
China, Japan, America, New Zealand
and Australia. The largest portions OF
his journeys were performed on foot,
and he boosted that he had walked nearly
10000 miles. He collected large
number of autographs Of eminent per-
sonages, which he used to be extremely
proud of, and took them with him wher-
ever he went. Travelling without
money, he relied for assistance upon
charitable persons he met on his way.
He frequently maintained a merry tramp
on bread and water, but Free Masons,
Fellows, and members OF other
friendly societies lent him aid generally,
and railway and steamboat companies
often gave him free pass to help him
along. Hisexperiences were, of course,
varied, and one of his intentions was to
describe them in a. book. When
Schafer was in Sydney few months
ago he was taken i'll, and the Masonic
body raised funds for sending him
home, On reaching Melbourne, how
ever, ais mind gave way, his passage
money was refunded, and he was put
on shore. He made his way back to
Sydney, and as he did not get better
was sent to Callan Park Asylum, where
he died. 1t is thought that he had a
sister in the United States.-Sydney

Noisy Places for Nests.

Birds, like individuals, sometimes
perform curious freaks. Two years ago
a pair of sparrows built a nest in the
great gong at the Philadelphia and Erie
Railroad Station, at Williamsport. The
nest was built on a cross bar near the
center of that celestial instrument, and
it mattered not how loud it was rung or
pounded by the operator, they did not
show any surprise or alarm, but rather
seemed to enjoy the deafening noise it
produced. After they had finished their
nest and got fairly to housekeeping,
pair of belligerent blue birds made war
on them, and after several desperate
battles succeeded in dislodging the
sparrcws and driving them away, when
they took possession and raised brood
of young birds in the gong. This was
remarkable part of the curious freak, as
sparrows are not generally dislodged by
other birds, but usually drive them
away and take possession themselves.
The following year the blue birds came
back again, took possession of the old
nest, and commenced preparing to 60
to housekeeping, but the nest was torn
down and the birds driven away on ac-
count of the dirt they made. This year
pair of sparrows are busily engaged
in building new nest in the gong, with
the evident determination of inhabiting
it during the Matching season. AS they
seem to have such curious fancy for
the noisy instrument, they will not be
disturbed. Near by the gong large
lamp is suspended from the ceiling, on
the top of which pair of robbins are
now busily engaged in building a nest.
They do not mind the Lighting of it at
night.-Pittsburgb telegraph.

THEIR FIRST AND LAST QUARREL.

"Well, L dOnO as QO!
And they had been just six weeks
married, these two.
Pretty Sally Masters and VIII Gray
were poor people; he was farmer, and
she had worked in a factory in Lynn.
It was like new life to her to get
out into the sweet country, but she
knew nothing at all about farm work
and cared less; it was all new to her,
and at first was very hard.
Then she had a quick temper and a
quick tongue, and Will was the only
son of widow and had always had his
own way.
His mother was dead when he mar
ried Sally. or he could not have brought
a wife home to the lonely farm, for it
would not support three people as yet,
though Will worked hard to make it
pay; and the year before he had received
five hundred dollars from railroad
company for the right to run their road
straight through his front yard.
This seemed fortune to Will, and he
thought very little Of the road being
only a few rods from his door, in COM
parison with the money which enabled
him to buy a wood-lot bordering on his
farm and piece of meadow on the 9th
er side.
But when Sally came there she COM
planned good deal of the noise the en-
pines made, and scolded to think the
wagon never could come up to the door;
for she was afraid to cross the track in
it, and the barn lay on the other side OF
both road and railway.
However, thing that can't be cured
must be endured, so she set herself to
the endurance.
But butter-making and cooking were
worse troubles to her, and to-day Will
had grumbled at the specks in the but
ter, and pushed his plate away at break
fast because the buckwheat cakes were
50 sour. Sally mad been afraid they
would freeze in the pantry, so she set
them on the shelf above the stove, and
they were spoiled.
How she wished that she had had a
home and mother to teach her home
duties, instead OF being an orphan ever
since she could remember and working
so many years in a factory.
But will never thought Of that; he
fancied woman knew homework il
she did not know nything else. and he
had to take long drive to-day and
should miss the good breakfast he real
" needed, and he felt very cross.
He pushed his chair back and said:
81 can't eat those things''
"Well, you no need tor snapped
Sally, who was just ready to cry but
would not show it for the world.

to 60 thirty miles on, and I'm goin'
over to Mystic to-day"

Now Phrony was pretty. bright
capable girl, Wills own cousin, and ne
had never thought of marrying her,
She was just like his sister, for till very
lately Uncle Dan had lived on the next
farm, and the children had always
played together.
But Sally had met sophronia, before
and after her own marriage, and In hel

For he does just what say.

river and immediately started to give the
alarm. In a few minutes the fire depart
ment were on the ground, but by the time
1t had arrived the fire aided,by high wind
from the southwest, had made such rapid
progress that the bridge was wrapped in
flames and in less than half
an hour the whole. structure
fell mass OF ruins into the river, leaving
nothing standing but the granite piers upon
which the bridge was built.
When the flames reached the Richmond
