A CHARMING LITTLE STORY.

The great American bird is under
every condition bird altogether, but
it usually focks alone on Wood river,
because its mates are as scarce as lady
partners at programme ball. That
eagles are birds of prey is established
by various stories in school readers,
where they are shown to have fre-
quentlv carried off in mid-air chill
dren, lambs, and other food ten
times their own weight, and disap-
peared with them into dim space
toward the SUBMITS OF the mountains,
where they store their grub for win
ter feasts. The largest birds OF the
eagle sDecies are found in the Wood
River mountains, and yet no mules.
nor cows, nor people have been car
ried away by them. The eagles OF
this country have often been known
to omit devourin2 weakly rabbits and
squirrels, and to have shown almost
human kindness. An event which
occurred ten days since at Fosters
ranch, above Haley, fully establishes
this trait OF the Wood River variety.
One Of the ranchers saw huge eagle
fiutter over the barnyard, interested
in fat turkey, and Immediately SO
cured his rife. The first shot broke
the eagles wing, and in its crippled
condition il wobbled and Topped
around uttering screams OF pain.
The man was watching the result be-
fore firing again, when he discovered
another eagle coming from distance.
It was evidently mate OF the frst
one. Like an arrow it flew to the
rescue, and examining the wound and
seeing it's mate could not escape, it
took hold of it by it's claws and beak
and flew to the mountain side, where
it laid down the victim OF the sportive
hunter.
During the past seven days the
men on Fosters ranch have noticed,
each day, that the mate carried food
to the wounded bird regularly, and
is yet feeding it upon squirrels, rab-
bits, birds and mice MIR. Foster
could kill the two birds any day, but
has refrained on account OF the affec-
tion displayed between them. A
small American flag will be fastened
about the wounded bird, and when it
again flies it will carry the emblem
Of freedom with it TO tie highest
mountain peaks. Wood River

THE SECRET OF MAKING MuMxIEs.

Two Pennsylvanians have applied
at the Patent Office for patent on q
recently discovered process of pre-
serving the dead supposed 10 be the
long lost Egyptian art. 1t is claimed
that, partly by accident and -combi-
nation OF antiseptic elements which,
If diffused through dead body, even
when it is in an advanced stage of
decomposition, will destroy all COR
ruptible matter and convert the tiesh
into caStilaginous state the den~er
parts, such as the gristly part OF the
ear, being converted into a hard,
horny substance, but natural in ap-
pearance. In one of their expert
ments the inventors, by the aid Of
electnGty applied ,he compound to
the body Of dead infant. Ten
weeks after the body had been re-
moved from all contact with the COM
pound the flesh had become like
rubber; the cheeks were full and
plant to the touch, and the ears had
become like polished horn. There
was not the slightest odor, and the
corpse seemed to have no more pro
pensities of decomposition than q
rubber doll. Whether the body will
remain in the plant state or whether
it will become hard like horn as the
denser parts now are, will probably
take more than one lifetime to de-
termine. From. the Washington

NARROW ESCAPES.

One or two cases of very mario y

CURED to me. During the kafr war,
which l have already alluded to /
several times accompanied large par
ties of troops sent out to intercept or
pursue bodies of the enemy, or to
destroy kraals or capture cattle. We
never succeeded in intercepting or
overtaking Kafirs unless they were in
strong parties and desired to fight,
and as we marched along by day the
Katirs in loose order and in parties
of two or three, would hang upon
our fanks and rear, showing them
selves upon the high ground, but
keeping out of the range Of our mus
kets. One night four Of us were sit
ting crosslegged round little fire
on which we had put our coffee kettle
to boil, and as we thus sat, q report,
followed by the ping of bullet close
over our heads, warned us that Kafirs
were prowling about This was fol
lowed by several other shots, which
struck the ground quite close to us,
but we were tired and cold and hun
CRY, having had no food all day, and
we were unwilling to lie down to
sleep on the bare ground with empty
stomachs. We therefore determined,
in spite of danger, to keep the fire
burning until coffee was ready; and
to hurry this one of lis stopped down
to blow the fire with his mouth, when
another shot settled the matter, for a
bullet passing between two of us,
smashed the kettle, and scattered the
embers about the head of the one
that was blowing the fire. How close
the bullet passed to his head may be
imagined. for it touched his hair.
There was nothing to be done but to
stamp all the embers out, roll our
selves in our cloaks, and light our
pipes to keep down the cravings OF
hunger AT the relief of the Resi-
dency of Lucknow the Colonel of my
regiment had two very narrow es
capes. As he was cantering from one
position to another, the motion of
the horse raised him little out of
the saddle every now and then, and
Just at that moment when he was
raised out of the saddle, bullet
passed below him, tearing the leather
open along the whole seat Of the sad

saddle he would have been horribly
wounded. Shortly after another
bullet struck the handle of his re-
volver, which was in a pouch attached
to his sword and but for the

mortal wound. Chambers Journal.

prompted by curiosity to see where
She was going, she resolved to follow
her.
AT length Pascaline entered a Gem
etery. She knelt at the grave of her
mother, and after planting the rose
upon it, she exclaimed,-
"Oh, my mother, accept this pledge
of my remembrance. Receive this
flower which thou lowest so much, and
which my own hands have cultivated
for thee Intercede for thy poor
child, who is this day without protec-
ton or hopew
And with her tears she bedewed the
wooden cross which was the only
monument that marked the resting
place of that beloved mother.
The Ma 'chioness, moved to tears,
retired unperceived. The next day
Pascaline was preparing to leave her
home, when q welldressed servant
delivered her the following note, in
closing two hundred louis:-
"NIademoiselle, know all l know

asked how he should transmit them,
the Cardinal replied, In Penn's

such regular mode of correspond

seemed strange, and Hawkins, in a

According to this statement Quito

feet of it, or twenty-six less; Bouis

the measurement show only 1857 feet;
Orton, in 1867, found it reduced to

actually shrunk to 9256 feet. Onto,
it seems, had sunk 2406 feet in 125
years, and Pichincha 2l8 feet in the

appears, from definite determinations,
that it's crater has sunk not less than

He soon had none at all.
His tickle friends discovered this.
And then their worth they showed;
They left him, none cen paid the debt
OF gratitude they owed.
Ere long the man grew rich again,
Much richer than before;
And those who then received So much
Came now expecting more,
The man had oy this time, howeer,

And straight he sent them ali away,
With the large sum Of naught.

They leave US to our fate.

When friends are in request,
That those of whom we think the least
Turn out to be the best.

A BACHELORS WAGER.--A bachelor
lawyer at the Luzerne bar has
pretty cousin, at each recurrence of
whose birthday he is esteemed en-
titled to the cousinly privilege Of a
kiss, though he always has to fight
for it. Lately, the birthday having
gone by during business trip on
which he was away, he asked II he
might not have his kiss notwithstand
ing. To this she strenuously OBJ
jected. She paid no bills, she said,
when the creditor allowed payday to
pass without calling onher. He pro-
posed a game OF euchre, on which he
would stake a pair of gloves against
his cousinly privilege. She agreed
and she won. Then he staked a box
OF bonbons. She assented and won
again. Then handkerchiefs. stock
ings and other articles OF female ap-
parel and adornment were put up,
and the bachelors luck grew no bet
ter. They played eleven games and
she was victor in them all. Being in
Philadelphia few days later, the
loser called at a leading dry goods
house to make his purchases. It was
not difficult to ask for the gloves and
handkerchiefs, but when he came to
the stockings he was non plussed.
Finally he left it to the shop girl,
who sold him an even dozen pairs.

A TOWN OF NONoeENARIANs.

Occasionally. remarkable state
ment is made in the press OF the
country, often in an exultant way, of
the ages of the oldest inhabitants.
Here is one, but by no means com
plete, as it is given by a native of the
town only of individuals who have
come under his personal observation.
Portsmouth, r. 1, is rated with a
population Of 1000 in the census of
1870, and is probably no more popu-
lous now. Within her borders, it is
claimed, lived more nonogenarians
than in any community of equal
numbers in the country. Here are
their names and ages: William Man
chester, 101; John burlington, o.;
Elizabeth Braman, 80; Cynthia
Cory, 90; Henrietta Allen, 90; Mrs.
Sarah Gibbs, 9S; Mrs. Green, 90;
Bridget Cogswell, 90; Peleg Almy,
90; Mrs. Wilcox, 81; Ruth Barker,
9S; Ruth Cogswell, 90; Mary Slocum,
93; William Sisson, 93, and Margaret
Sisson, his wife, 92.
The following were the ages of
some residents of the town who have
died within few years and were
known to the Transcfpt informant:
Sophia Sisson, %; Lunice Sherman,
9S; Mary Sherman. 100: Annie SIS
son, 80; Mrs. Borden, 80; Peleg

Peleg Thurston, 96; Hannah Almy,

No attempt has been made to re-
call the octogenarians, yet the records
would doubtless roll up goodly
showing in 'his respect. Boston
