PEELED to content themselves with hop-|
ping from roost to roost, or scratching
among the dry grass seed on the floor,
for they did not dare to venture out.
Night came early down, and, tired
enough of their confinement, the fowls
were willing to tuck their heads be-
meath their wings. as its hrst long shad-
ows appeared. Soon silence and sleep
rcigned but not over all. Red Cap,
the gobbler, was awake. His mind was
troubled. and he could not sleep. All
day he Ind noticed an unusual stir mp
at the house. People coming and go-
into the great barn. What was going

Suddenly new and terrible idea oc-
Cured to him. Quickly jumping to the

he had hidden certain kernels OF corn,
| ono for each day since Thanksgiving.
Hastily he searched for them, but in
vain. With wild gobble he awoke his
| friends.
"Save yourselves! Save yourselves!
Something is wrong! The corn by
which was counting the days has been
eaten! This may be the twenty-fourth of
the month! Tomorrow may bonded.

He was interrupted by loud banging
at the door; IL opened, and by the light
of a frightful lantern the terror-stricken
Red Cap and his friends saw two horri-
BILE boys enter.

poor turkey. christmas has comet

But It was too late. Seized In spite
of his struggles, brave Red Cap was
borne away together with two Of the
ducks, Dickey Daddles and another, and
five Of the hens, among them naughty
Henry Penny. Then the boys and the
light disappeared, the door was closed,
and the inmates of the house wero once
again left in darkness.

corner came the voice Of Miss Goose,
laughing scornfully.

"A peculiar disease known as milk
poison" has for some years past existed
in the section north of Huntsville, Tenn,
from the Milestone knobs to the foot Of
the ridge, embracing territory of sew
eral thousand acres. The cause of the
disease is evidently weed, and exactly
what it is the most able scientist has
failed to discover. Cows eat the weed,
become milk-poisoned, thereby trans
hitting the disease to the human race.
The symptoms of the mysterious disease
are continual thirst, great irritability Of
the stomach, prostration of the vital
powers, GOODNESS of the feet, and con-
stipation Of the bowels. 80 Chicago Times.

The PatrIarchoal circle.

CHICAGO. July 12.-There was parade
and review of local and visiting temples Of
the Patriarchal Circle through the business
portion Of the city this afternoon. There
were about forty bodies in the line repre-
scnting tho states of Illinois, New York,
Ohio, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Wisconsin, and
Minnesota and numbering in all about 500
uniformed knights. The uniform and regalia
of the members are very similar to that
of the Knights Templar save that a
purple plume is worn in place of the black
one of the other order Tho street display
was witnessed by great crowds, and was cred
table in many ways Few of the temples,
however displayed any brilliant marching
evolutions, and n number of them moved with
q ragged and uncertain front. The presence
of uniformed temples here develops the fact
that considerable body of the Odd Follows
refuse to recognize the patriarchs, and claim
that the Sovereign Grand lodge Mt its session
two years ago declined to legalize them on the
ground that it had previously authorized
a uniform degree for patriarchs, and
that while all its members are
Odd Fellows it is an independent organiza-
tion. Others urge that it is entitled to recog-
milton under the legislation of the grand
lodge two years ago. At the business session
to-day, owing to the opposition of the grand
lodge, it was decided to change the regalia in
some of its features The report of the secre-
tary shows that 35 temples were organized
during the past year, making tho total num-
ber 100, with total membership of 1000
against $500 one year ago.

BosToN, July 12.-.Tho evidence introduced
by Gov Butler in rebuttal in the Towksbury
hearing to-day was not especially important
DIR. J. r. Talbot dean of the Boston university
school of medicine, testified that he had paid
Thomas j. Marsh, ir., by check for bodies
from Tcwksbury. From November 1873
the number received was las and tho amount
paid S2,359 Tho books had been kept by tho
witness as registrar of the school
At tho afternoon hearing George h.
Skinner and Joseph O'Neill testified to
seeing the bodies of babies in the Har-
ward dissecting room. The first subject
O'Neill disscctod was baby. He had seen
the bodies of two babies at once IN the dead
room, and at the same time ono IN DIR. Dix
wallis arms. DR.. Lyons, of Fitchburg, had
bought tho body of a baby not more than a
year old while at Harvard. All tho dissec-
tion there was done dccorously, and without
offcuse to public decency
DR.. Wilson, of the college Of physicians and
surgeons, had eleven bodies from Tcwksbury,
for which he arranged with t. j. Marsh, jr.,
paying SIG for each. He had seen no money
paid to Marsh.
Lorenzo Fairbanks testified to erasurcs in
the books at Tewksbury, which he did not
pretend to understand the meaning of. The
last witness was Lydia Nj. Warner of Boston,
who has had the care of destitute babies for
eighteen years. She knew of u healthy child
being sent to Tewksbury, and returned in
two weeks with shpyilitic sore eyes. Counsel
for the defense wanted five minutes in which
to show that his infant never was at Tewks-
bury, but Gov. Butler objected, and the taxi
ing of evidence ended.
Tomorrow, tho last day, will be divided
between Mr.. Brown and the governor for

CHICAGO, July 12.-The Apollo command
cry of Knights Templar, lis strong, marched
out of their asylum at 6 o'clock this evening
in full regalia to enter upon what is possibly
the most pretentious pilgrimage ever contem-
plated by modern body of these Knights Of
the Red Cross and Black Plume. They were
escorted to the Michigan Central depot by a
large body of active members of Apollo COM
mandery, which numerically is one of the
strongest orders in the country, and special
escort of sixty will accompany them as far
as New York city,. where the main
body will board the steamer City of
Rome for Liverpool. 1t is expected
that the bodywill be sensibly augmented at
New York, making the total number enlisted
for the pilgrimage 165. The knights carry
with them their full uniforms, to be used on
occasional public displays and receptions.
The commandery has been notified that re-
cepton awaits the visitors in London at the
hands of the members of the order there
From that city the tourists will break up into
