a Brave Deed,
[From the London Daily News


Some pessimists are constantly assur-
ing us that modern conditions of life have
ruined English courage. The manufac-
turing classes, who live In crowded towns
and work in a mechanical way in an
atmosphere far from fresh, ought, of
course. to be the feeblest and most
pusillanimous of their race. It is
evident that shepherds and fishermen
have q great advantage over townbred
people. The air in which they lead
more or less adventurous lives increases
their strength and courage. But a
mechanic at Birmingham, James Muir
raw. has just done as gallant an action
as anv man ever risked his life to attempt.
fire broke out in small house where
a laborer lives, near the birmingham
gas-works. Murray saw the flames
shooting through the window, and did
not stop to consider how he should be-
have. He broke open the front door
and dashed in through the smoke which
had stupefed the laborer, his wife, and
his three children. Murray, alone and
unaided. carried all five persons back
through the smoke into the open air,
returning from one journey after another,
though the flames beat him back more
than once, aud he was nearly suffocated
bv the smoke. Such resolute courage
in 40 excellent cause is quite beyond
praise. and is comforting besides, as
showing that modern life has still left
among us the ancient courage.

A Startling Prophecy Fulfilled.
washington Corr. Boston Trayelle

Washington Corr. Boston Traveller
The other day while party Of Wash
ington newspaper correspondents were
seated In the Office of Judge dvocate
General Swain, there walked into the
room neatly dressed colored woman.
She looked the general firmly IN the
eye, and asked: " Have you found any
more work for me, sir ?" Gen. Swain
replied that he had not. The'woman
turned abruptly around and left the
room as mechanically as she had entered
it. Gen. Swain then told who she was.
He said: This woman came to my
house the night before President Gar
field was inaugurated, from South Caro-
lima. She persisted in seeing me, and
when she came In che entered precisely
Ga you saw her here few moments ago.
Looking me full in the face, and
never taking her eyes from mine,
she said she knew that President
Garfield was to be assasnated,
speaking earnestly and without any hes
itation. She said the President would
be killed the day following, while on the
way to the capitol TO take the oath Of
from South Carolina to inform me of it.
vi course Olu NOT Dell6F6 IuaO there
was any plot to kill the President, but /
could not help being impressed by the
woman's earnestness. A few days after
the 4th of March she came to me again,
and l called her attention to tho fact
that the President had not been killed.
She said that was true, but that he
would be assassinated before long. Her
calls numbered some half dozen or
more before Garfield was shot by
Gulteau, and about ten days after that
she came again. I had been so busy
in my attendance upon the President
that [ had forgotten all about her and
her prophecy. When she entered my
room / recalled both with q fash, and
you can imagine that I was somewhat
startled. She said quietly that her pre-
diction turned out to be true, and, of
course, acknowledged it. Since then
have secured odd jobs for her now and
then to do sorubbing in the public
building"

THE OLD FIDDLE.


We little know the thoughts that sweep
Each heaying human breast,
As on life's toilsome march they near
The SOUNDS they once loved best.
The cricket with his shrill refrain,
The thrush at close Of day,
The cowbell swinging in the lane,
The bleat4ng far away,
The partridge drumming on his log,
The tree toad in his tree,
The yellow hammers fest spring note,
The hum of early bee.
The moaning winds. the beating rain,
The sift of drifting SNOW,
AL these are sounds that will bring up
The thoughts of long ago.
But of them all, each one but brings
Some part of life's young riddle;
While none calls back SO many things
AS one good, we'll tuned fiddle.

English Razors.

The London Times says that the
Sheffield razor trade has been very brisk
for nearly two years, and the razor
forgers are agitating, though in very
friendly way, for an advance of ten per
cent. in wages. A "spurt" was given in
the razor trade in similar way Just be-
fore the Egyptian war. On the soldiers
kits being examined it was found that
they were deficient in razors, knives
and forks A large firm in Sheffield
were asked by the Government to make
several thousand razors in certain
time. The firm replied that they could
supply from stock if the Government
would take the ordinary pattern; but
the authorities insisted on having their
own army razor. The order was then
divided, and the numerous forgers, who
work at little wheels in the picturesque
Rivelin Valley and other suburban parts,
were offered three pence per dozen more
to get the work out in time. The offer
was accepted, and the soldiers had their
razors in time.
In the days of the late Mr.. Roebuck,
a Sheffield manufacturer made the re-
mark In his presence that the British
soldier shaved himself with a razor
which was delivered, in case, at four
and half to five and half pence. Mr..
Roebuck expressed some incredulity,
but the manufacturer whipped one out
of his pocket and showed it to the right
honorable gentleman, who took posses
sion of it. The chief cause of the pres
ent activity in the razor trade is the sud-
den change in the American demand,
which is now ali for hollow-backed
raZors.
Another kind is made, not for shaw.
ing, but for razor fights. 1t is very
loose in the blade, which can be sud-
denly thrown back, and held between
the fingers for dash at the face. This
razor is said to be almost entirely used
by negroes, and large numbers are sent
to the United States. The Sheffield
water is said to be essential to the max
ing of good razors. Several years ago
company OF razor grinders who went
to America took barrel of Sheffield
water with them; but the barrel, of
course, could not last forever. What
ever the cause, the making of razors
remains a speciality of Sheffield manu-
facturers, and almost q monopoly.
