What Island?

The smallest State in the Union has the
most trouble with its name. 1t has new
er been ascertained where, when, or how
Rhode Island received its name. Some
people think it was given to indicate
resemblance between the island in Mar
ragansett Bay on which Newport is sit
uated and the Island of Rhodes in the
Mediterranean Sea. Others are sure that
the name must have first been applied by
Dutch traders to an island in the bay as
"Roode Eylandt'' Cred Island), so called
from the color of its soil.
But whatever may have been its origin,
we know for a certainty-and that is all
Court Of the Colony ordered the name
Rhode Island to be substituted for the
Indian name Of Aquidneck. Since that
time 'ELittle Rhody" has heard the ques-
ton asked a good many times, "What
island?
It's name has given foreigners strange
ideas about "the smallest State in the
Union" Even in Canada, which is not
far off, Rhode Island is but little known.
A young man, who lives in Providence,
r. l., was once mortified while travelling
near Toronto at the ignorance shown Of
his native State. A Scotch lady, to
whom he had mentioned his home
startled him by exclaiming:
"Eh, lad, an island is't? Ye donna
look like an islanderp
Another lady, eager to learn all she
could about it, asked:
can how far from the main land, is it,
think?'
cit is not an island" was the youths
reply. cit is the main land itself. 1t is
a State"
"Young man." said the woman, stern,
ly, "you said Rhode Island, didn't you?
Well, if it is an island, it IS an island !;
an if it isn't an island, it isn't; an
that's all there is about it! Call spade
spade young man, an don't stoOp to
falsehoods."
The young man, somewhat discomft-
ed, fastened to explain to his severe
critic. After a while he succeeded in
convincing her of his truthfulness, but
not until he had called to his aid several
persons acquainted with the geography of
1.-THE States"
On another occasion, a gentleman
asked:
What is the chief employment there,
fishing?"
Rhode Island, sir?'' was the polite re.
ply, sis one of the New England States. "
"Ah, indeed! near Boston, then, is it
not?'
eyes, sir: only forty miles distant"
And this served to identify the little
State. Some people go so far as to call
Rhode Island "a suburb of Boston," and
yet Providence alone has population of
one hundred and sixteen thousand inhab-
itants.-Y Youth Companion.

A Singular Romance.
BALTIMORE, Apri

BALTIMORE, April 16.
1t seldom happens in real life that young
lady three years after being enveloped in
her burial shroud and placed in a coffin as
dead becomes bright and happy bride, yet
such singular romance has just been de-
veloped here.
A few evenings ago occurred the marriage
of Miss Mary Griffith, daughter of the late
John A. Griffith, former prominent mer-
chant of this city, and Mr. Vivian Neal.
The bride is a beautiful young Lady or
about twenty-One summers, and for the last
two seasons a belle in Baltimore society.
Three years ago when the young lady was
residing in Cincinnati she had terrible fall
down flight of stairs and received injuries
which were considered fatal. Several prom
inent physicians called to see her, and
pronounced her case hopeless. Ono
day the young girl gre@v much worse, felk
into a cOmatOse state, and, as it was thought
died. The body was prepared for burial and
exposed for two days in acasket to the view
of friends. The day of the funeral arrived,
and, at the appointed time, the carriages and
hearse drove up to the door. just as the
coffin was being closed it was noticed that
the life-like appearance of the supposed
corpse became more pronounced and there
were slight signs of returning Vitality A
physician was called, and after an hour or
so Miss Griffith returned to consciousness
The solemn gathering was turned into one OF
ioy The young girl recovered rapidly, and
has since been III better health than ever
before.

Artificial Coffee.

At the present low price of coffee it
would hardly seem the best time to bring
out new substitute, but NJ. Sornani,
of Pavia, in the Ann. ID Chin. GPpH.
Farm. ct Ned, announces that he has
discovered quite new and serious adul-
teration of coffee. which is being prac-
ticed by the manufacture of artificial
berries. These berries are composed of
the meal of beans and acorns, with chic
DRY and some quartz powder to bring the
mixture to the requisite specific gravity.
A dough is made of these ingredients,
which is cut by a special machine into
the shape of coffee berries, and after dry
ing has exactly their color. Sornani says
he has found as much as fifty per cent of
these artificial berries mixed with the
genuine. On roasting they take just the
same color as the genuine, but they are
discovered by soaking in water when the
false berries soon fall to Pieces.-Scie'a-

'And just thinkp exclaimed Kate,
''she was the sister, yes, the runaway
sister of these two dear old people OF
yours"
But didn't know that they had

Neither did l." reioined Kate; "but
it seems that years ago, when they were
ali young tOgether-I heard this part of
the story afterward, from a relative OF
the family-our dear little Quakeress had
a lover. He was an intimate friend OF
her brothers and they had all known
each other ever since they were children.
Well, the day had been fixed for the
wedding and everything was ready. The
morning dawned bright and clear, the
guests had all assembled, and the bride
Cant you see how like a fair sweet
flower she must have looked y stood wait
ing in her snow white dress, but the
bridegroom never came.
"Ihe younger sister, too, had suddenly
disappeared, and tidings came few days
later that the two had been clandestinely
married in some distant city"
There were tears in my eyes as I looked
down upon the old homestead and caught
breath from the crushed box in the
garden-border.
at was a great shock to the brother"
continued Kate; 'indeed, he seemed to
feel it all, quite as much as his twin sis
ter, who was, of course, the one most
deeply injured. He has never married,
but has just devoted his life to her, and
the two have always lived together in
the old home. They have often tried to
learn something of the hayward sister,
but all to no avail. And now, isn't it
strange? After all these years, two poor
little waits, by curious train of circum1
stances, suddenly appear and drift right
back Tito their own especial haven"

days are growing short and bleak, and
my neighbOrs spend but little time in
their garden.
A broad, old-fashioned cradle, the very
one, indeed, in which the brother and
sister themselves were rocked, has been
brought down from the garnet, and the
room just opposite my window, the sum
NEST, pleasantest room in the whole
house, has been taken for the nursery.

heads cuddled down on either shoulder,
The brother has just come in, and stands
behind her chair, looking down upon all
three with fond, admiring gaze.

A Murderer Whs Ate the Bodies Of His
Victims.
LAKE CRY. COL. April rs.

LAKE CRY, Col, April 10.
The jury in the case Of Alfred G. Packer,
charged with numbering five companions in
the San Juan country in 1872, returned a
verdict of guilty. A motion for a new trial
on the ground that the murder was commit
ted on an Indian reservation, and that there
fore this coart has no jurisdiction, has been
made.
A partysOf six men organized in Utah in
1872 to prospect for gold and silver in South
ern Colorado. While in the vicinity of the
present site of Lake City, binding storms
coming on, they lost their way and the food
gave oat. For days together they lived on
TosebGds. The men became desperate and
some erazed. While his companions were
in this condition Packer deliberately fell
upon and butchered the whole party, and
forseyeral weeks lived on flesh cut from
tfS5ir bodies.
Packer, in the course Of the trial, related
the experiences of the party from their set
ting out in Utah, closing with the most sick
ening details of the murder. and subsequent
feasting on human flesh, claiming the killing
was done in self-defense. The evidence
shows that each member of the party, ex-
cept Packer, possessed quite large amount
Of money, upon which the ghoul has since
been living. After nine years wandering,
he was captured a few weeks since near
Fort Fetterman, Wyoming.

Some time ago Percy Howard,
bright little boy, was charged with steal
ing a diamond pin from lady in Wash
ington, in whose house he was employed.
He has parents in England, and Judge
Smell agreed not to imprison him if he
was sent to them. This was done, and
the boy left with a cloud upon his good
name. A few days ago, says the Wash
ington Post, the lady who charged him
with being a thief found the pin wrapped
up in a piece of paper and laid in
cSsket where was kept the family silver
The discovery vindicates the boy, but it
comes too late to make amends for the
wrong which was done him.

MOTHER IND CHILD.

Bitter blasts and Vapor dim
What had they TO do with him?
Spring, though she was far away,
Took dominion for q day,
Filled the air with breathings SOFT
Bade skylark sing aloft,
When we laid him in his bed,
aClOudless blue above his head.
It was not for him to reach
Manly height, and thought, and Speech
Not to climb untrodden sleeps,
Not to search out unknown deeps,
Not through warning 10y and pain
Kingliness of soul to gain.
He had only baby words,
Little music, like birds,
Sweetly iuaruculate,
Nothing wise, nor high, nor great.
Sunny smiles and kisses sweet
White and softly childish feet
qCurls that floated on the breeze
We remember him for these.
They are weary who are wise.
He looked up with happy eyes,
Little knowing. little seeing,
Only praising God by being
oh, the life we could not save!
Do not say, above his grave,
That the fair and darling face
Was but lent little space
Till the Father called him back,
BY an unknown hOmeward track.
No, though Death came darkly chill
Babe the beating heart be still.
Touching him with fingers cold
What was given still we hold;
Though he died, as die the flowers.
he for eVermOre is ours.
Ours, though we must travel soon O..
Onward throug Life's afternoon;
Shadows, falling long and gray,
Gather round the western day,
And our twilight visions show
How the years shall come and go.
Little maids, with tangled curls,
Change to slender, dreamy girls;
Chubby roguCs grow tall, and then
Go their way as bearded men.
And the mother stands aside,
With an ache beneath her pride,
And q sorrow mid her joys,
For the vanished babes and boys:
SO the earlier gladness wGnes-
But the little one remains.
For house that once has known
THY feet on stair and stone
Steps that never more shall sound,
Feet at rest beneath the ground
Keeps remembrance of the dead,
And the music of their tread.
Not at MONDAY, busy, bright,
ONLY in the quiet night,
With 81 thrill of sweetest pain,
Comes that music once again,
Heard in stiffness and apart
Echoed from his mothers heart.
