SALTWATER GLOBOLEs.

1t is very probable that an addition to
the hospital will soon be needed. But few
more patients can be admitted until more
room is procured.
From reliable authority it is learned
that notwithstanding the extreme cold
which has prevailed the greater portion of
the present month, the swamps in the
woods are not passable with heavy loads,
for the reason that the ice is not strong
enough to hold the usual weight.
About o'clock Sunday morning an af-
fray occurred between Officers Mccarthy
and Erickson and a man named Ben
Shook. The latter had been drinking
quite freely all the evening, and had once
been ordered to go home by Officer Wal
tiers. Shook had somehow got the idea
that the frst-named officers were follow
ing him. AS he was going east on Bridge
square he called to the men, Come on"
using language that need not be given
here, but the officers started after him,
Mccarthy being in advance. When about
twelve feet from Shook the latter drew a
revolver and ordered the officers to stop,
to which, however, no heed was given. AS
Mccarthy grappled him his antagonist
nreC, pGt fortunately WlUnOuJ eHect. Lne
officers finally secured their man, but Off
Ger Mccarthy Will carry a crippled hand
for number of days to come, having
broken his knuckle in striking with his
fist instead of his club. But for the time
ly assistance of Erickson another shot
would have been fired. Both officers are
deserving of much praise for the manner
in which they discharged their duty, as
Shook was known to be dangerous man
when intoxicated.

FUN IN BEAR BOARDING HOUSE.

Tie BO0rdterS Hatn the EGndIady and Put
the NeiJhJOrhOOd 5n an UprOdr
The Philadelphia Times is responsible
for the following dago yarn: 1.-TWO Italian
brothers, with red scarfs around their necks,
encamped on Saturday night in boarding
house of their nationality on Spafford
street, below cambridge. The names of
the men were Lorenzo and Michael Pepitto,
and they looked as if they had not recently
INDUCED in a shave. A couple of brown
bears, who could dance polka for bis
cult, or on the presentation of a coin ele-
vate themselves into waltz,
together with the brothers, made
up the travelling firm. Mrs. Luccarini grew
very angry when told that she would have
to take bruin as boarders. After great
deal of talk she was inveigled into beIiev-
ing that by accommodating them she was
performing patriotic duty. She put
them in woodshed back of the house.
Yesterday morning, not being very early
risers, the brothers sauntered out at about
10 o'clock, with others of their kin, with
whom the neighborhood is fairly stocked.
They somewhat cruelty left their shaggy
companions in the uninteresting woodshed
to shift for themselves. These commenced
doing the latter thing by getting loose in
the clubhouse and chewing coal and licking
logs. Evening came on and they did not get
more substantial nourishmentn nor did their
owners come back. trife before 8
o'clock Mrs. Luccarini took shovel and
went to get some coal. She opened the
shed door noiselessly and began scooping
the darkness with the metal instrument.
1t struck bear steak. In one minute Mrs.
Luccarini was clasped in impetuous arms
and yelling for dear life. The bear held
on and she yelled on till horde of men
appeared in the yard. In the meantime
she was rescued; but the knights forgot to
shut the door.
A roar, flourish of bear claws and
paws, bound and the animals had pos
session of the field. The terrified board
ers rushed out of the house into the street
and listened in groups on the sidewalk.
Every now and then an
angry below echoed from the
deserted place, and the Italians
shuddered as they distinctly heard the
smacking of lips and the grinding of teeth
through soft flesh. "Rosa, Rosa, where is
my Rosa" cried a miserable woman; ''theJ
are eating her." She grew frantic as she
looked around for her child and would
have thrown herself against the door had
she not been prevented. The munching OF
meat grew more distinct, until the crash
ing in of window frame and the appear
ance of two large hairy arms caused gen
eral scatter. The bears were trying to get
out.
just then the Pepitto brothers were
sighted in the crowd, enjoying the fun.
They went into the house, captured their
pets and replaced them in the shed. 1t
was found that they had eaten a pile of
cold meat. Rosa was all right and Mrs.
Luccarini was furious.

but if Clay's could do what they said she
stood no chance. He inquired what they
said, and when told declared it id lie
asserting that no Mambrino colt ever had
or ever would do any such thing.
On the morning of the race Clay enter
tanned party of fifty at breakfast. Dur
ing the meal he said to Singleton, ''See
here, Singleton, you and are friends, and
1 don't want to see you lose your money.
1 know the $4,000 you have up with me
Will not affect you, but don't get rash and
make other bets, for have a sure thing"
'Well," replied the general, don't let
your friends aggravate me-"
One of the party spoke up: General,
1 would like to aggravate you to the extent
of basket of wine"
The wager was accepted, with another of
the same kind, and it ran around the table,
resulting in a general bet of fifty baskets
of wine.
When Singleton got out to the track his
trainer sent for him and advised him to
employ a man who was on the ground,
and who had the reputation of being
very expert driver. This he posi-
lively refused to do, telling Abrams that he
could trust him, and that he would rely on
none other. He then instructed him, if he
found he could beat Clay's colt, to give
Clay the first heat and win the two follow
ing. The track on which they trotted lies
by the side of the railroad, and the point
where the train stops is just at the half
mile pole. They got off we'll together.
The race was very pretty one the first
half mile. Just as they reached the pole
an engine on the track outside began to
blow off steam and its bell rang. Clay's
horse, having been trained here, paid
no attention, but SallIe Lees
head went into the air.
Fortunately she did not lose her feet.
Abrams brought down the whip three
times. Still she kept her feet, and came
to the three-quarter pole like frightened
deer. She had widened terrible gap be-
tween herself and Clay's colt, and as she
turned into the home-stretch her pace
seemed to increase. She came to the wire
like hurricane. Abrams forgot his in
structions about heats, and let her have
her head. She not only won the heat,
but distanced her competitor and won with
ease.
The excitement and enthusiasm were
indescribable. Singleton ordered the fifty
baskets of wine and enough additional to
give champagne to every lady on the grand
stand. He gave feee whisky to the entire
crowd on the track. His iberality that
day cost him heavily, but he went away
from Louisville $4,000 ahead, after pay
ing all expenses, and he hasn't bet dollar
on a horse race since that time.

CHARLES READE AND WOMAN.

The NoceIist Says She is Like a Man. But
Has Certain. Tendencies Which We CAL
WOmGnly.
Regarding women Charles Reade said
recently in an interview in the Philadel-
phia Prees: She is just like man, like
ourselves, but with certain tendencies we
call womanly. Like ourselves she ardent
ly desires love. She knows it is the best,
absolutely the best thing the world has to
give; that we are all born for love, man
and woman alike; that to lack this con
summate and supreme blessing is to lose
the best part of life. She desires above
all things to be wooed, and is
forbidden to WOO on her own account.
She conceals her own thoughts, yet from
her experience in hiding she is quick at
reading the thoughts of others. She is
satisfied with nothing less than she her
self gives, which is all herself. Her reserve
leads her, in the lower natures, to
deceit and falsehood. Her devotion,
which is part of her nature, leads her also
in the lower natures, to suspicion and
jealousy. She is always in the house,
therefore her mind is apt to run in narrow
grooves. The prodigality and wasteful-
ness of men are things beyond
her understanding or patience. She is
IMMERSED in affairs, and therefore IN der
stands nothing of compromise. She is
generally i'll educated, and therefore is in
capable of forming judgment, hence she
is carried away by every word of doctrine;
as. for instance, in matters ecclesiastical.
Knowing nothing of the early church or its
history, she believes the poor little ritualist
curate, who knows, indeed, no more than
herself; or on art, where for want of
standard she is led astray by every fad and
fashion of the day and worships sad-faced
fatnesses with rapture; or in dress, where
her taste being uncultivated,
she puts on whatever is mos
hideous and unbecoming, provided it is
worn by everybody else. This is the wo-
man present to my readers. Shei not,
at all events, 1nsipid-no real women are.
If she is artificial, the real woman shows
from underneath. What love most is the
woman whom fashion has not spoiled;
the true feminine woman, with her natural
passion, her jealousy, her devotion, her
love of admiration, her fidelity, her righte-
GUS wrath, her maternal ferocity, her mar
row faith, her shrewdness-ev her au-
dacity of falsehood, when that can serve
her purp pose, and finally her self-abneg a
ton. That's the woman that's the woman
I believe in. That is the creature that is

Just as Bubbles Burst.

One of the most singular events of the
season is the death of mule belonging to
Mr.. Benjamin Bailey, of Leary, Ga. The
animal, though twentythree winters and
an uncommonly cold autumn had passed
over his head, still retained cheerful and
lively disposition. Having been tarned
out to Craze on recent Sunday, and re-
joicing in the novel sensation of leisure,
he frisked about the pastures and even
ventured to spring down deep declevity
but he miscalculated his powers and fell to
rise no more. Examination showed that
the jar had dislocated both shoulders and
detached all the ribs from the spine. A
completer wreck has not been seen since
that of the one-horse shay.

about for some traces of the depredator
he came across duck that had been
raised by W. R. Massmeyer. Its head was
all that was visible. Its body had been
buried with the wings spread out, and the
earth had been tramped down. The duck
was still alive, although it had been miss
ing three days. 1t is evident that the wolf
had taken this plan to supply its future
wants, and had managed to keep the fowl
alive so that it would not spoil before he
should want it.
