sword. This reads lige another Car
diff giant story, but it is very ingen-
ious; and it is barely possible that
some day or other we may have pos
tive proofs of the existence of life
and intelligence in some of the myr-
lads of planets which inhabit space.
A microscopic examination of mete-
oric stones at Berlin revealed the fact
that they contain some sixty varie-
ties of the outer shells of coral in
sects, which, of course, establishes
the fact that they were attached to
coral insects which lived in warm
oceans of salt water. The water
must have contained lime, and islands
must have been built up above the
ocean as they are on our globe. But
that is, so far, the only trustworthy
indication we have that there is any
thing on the other worlds approach

TWO COMICAL INCIDENTS.

ing to the same kind of life we have
on this.
TWO COMICAL INCIDENTS.
A capital story is told in Partisan
circles to the discontinue Of a GER
tain physician of that city. He had
attended the only child Of rich par
ents, and had with the aid of Provi-
dence, saved the infants life.
A day OF two after her darling was
pronounced out of danger, the CRATE
full mother visited the man of sci
ence at his establishment.
Doctor said she, ''there are
certainly services which money can
not remunerate. Scarcely knowing
how to discharge my debt to you, [
have thought you might be willing to
accept this pocket-book, which /
have myself embroidered, as a tri-
fling token of my gratitude
Madam retorted the discipline
of Esculaplus, somewhat rudely,
''the practice of medicine is not a
matter of sentiment. Time is mon
ey, and we expect our time to be
paid for in cash. Petty presents may
serve to perpetuate friendship, but
they do not contribute to the cost Of
housekeeping
''Well, then, DOCTOR replied the
lady, much wounded by his tone and
manner, "be so good as to name the
sum at which you value your profess
sional services"
Certainly, madame. My charge
in your instance, is two thousand
francs"
Without further remark the lady
opened the rejected pocket-book,
which she held in her hand, took two
of the five thousand franc notes stor-
ed inside, placed them on the great
mans table, and quietly bid him good
morning. The doctor has not yet
recovered his equanimity.
The story was soon in circulation,
and of course it was not long before
it was turned to account, in a new
| shape-this time for more ludicrous-
ly to the disadvantage of an eminent
advocate than to the first sufferer.
A lady had just succeeded in gain
ing an important suit at law, and
was indebted for her victory to the
eloquent appeal of her counsel. The
medical anecdote had just become 8
general topic of conversation in the
drawing rooms and clubs of the capi-
tai, and his fair client, in token OF
her s'gratitude, offered him a cush.

and finally said: 'ISee here, you
know this won't do. I'll let your land
lady spend this money for some clothes
for the child, and I'll come in again
this evening" Mary broke down
completely at this. It was the first
sympathetic word she had heard, and
some people are sensitive, you know.
The next morning the doctor reap
peared. After the usual pulse and
tongue business he said: ''Mrs. Will

hearted woman.
II know it seems hard, my dear
child but after all isn't it better for

Well, to make long story short,
the doctor finally persuaded Mary to
consent. She was cold and hungry
and in distress. Should she selfishly
compel her little one to share her lot
when, with a word, she could place
her on plane of comfort, and even
luxury? The mother triumphed, and
the doctor hustled off to please his
wealthy patient-and earn another

A BEAR STORY.

The Leadville (Col.) Chronicle
vouches for this bear story: A few
days ago Mr.. Swift let his 3-year-
old daughter ride upon his horse, and
after she had ridden about forty rods
from home he lifted her off the ami
NAL and told her to run home. On
returning about an hour later he
found that the little one had not
reached home, and, going to the
place where he had last seen her, he
found bear tracks in the sand. A
posse was formed, and all night was
spent in searching for the lost child.
In the morning, as the searchers were
passing swampy spot where the I'M
dergrowth was thick, they heard her
voice. They called to the little girl
to come out of the bushes, but she
replied that the bear would not let
her. The men then crept through
| the brush and when near the spot
heard splash in the water, which
the child said was the bear. They
found her standing upon a log, ex-
tending halfway across the swamp,
and it seemed as though the bear had
undertaken to cross the swamp on
the log, and, being pursued, left the
child and got away as rapidly as pos
sible. She had received some
scratches about the face, arms, and
legs, and her clothes were almost
torn from her body, but the bear had
not bitten her to hurt her, only the
marks of his teeth being found upon
her back, where he had taken hold of
her clothes to carry her. The child
told her rescuers that the bear had
put her down occasionally to rest,
and would put his nose up to her
face, whereupon she would slap him
and he would hang his head by her
side and purr and rub against her
like a cat. Her father asked her if
she had been cold during the night,
and she told him the old bear lay be-
side her and put his "arms' around
her and kept her warm. Il believed
the little ones story" concluded Mr..
Swift, ''for there was evidence to
prove its truth, and [ never knew hel
to utter falsehood. Stranger than
fiction, is it not?''

4 CHICAGO, juno 14-Ex-Senator
Joseph E. Mcdonald of Indiana is
in this city on legal business. On
being asked whether the report that
Mr.. Thsmas A.. Hendricks had
agreed to place, him in nomination
for the Presidency at the coming
National Democratic Convention,
Senator Mcdonald replied: f15n
i 81 have net seen Mr.. Hendricks
to talk about the matter, but / have
it from his friends, who are like
wise friends of mine, that he is will
ing to perform that service for me" ="
s "There is NO doubt, then, Of the
correctness of the statement? p
"None at all, Sc far as 1 am able
to learn. Mr. Hendricks will very
likely be delegate at large from
'Indiana-that is, he can be if he
wishes to. / believe he does not
feel any delieacy in coming here"
Senator Mcdonald said that he
did not think the Democratic Cons
,vention would get in any trouble in
adopting platform by reason OF
differences Of opinion on the tariff.
He spoke modestly enough of his
own candidacy, but he conveyed the
impression that he was confident of
success in the absence of any prom
inent rival from the West. He in
timated that if the party did not see
fit to nominate him for President
he would take second place on the
ticket with any acceptable nominee.

So HARMLESS THE PLATFORM AND
THE DELEGATES TO CHICAGO.
From the Philadelphia Times

SARATOGA, June 19.-Last night
was an anxious season for the
leaders Tammany's, ,ultimatum had
stirred the Cleveland camp. A coun-
ell Of war was held. The situation
explained itself IF Tammany car
rled eutr its threats and returned to
New York without entering the
convention it ended the Cleveland
boom then and there. Without
harmony all was lost The county
Democracy must give way There
was no alternative, and they agreed
to allow Tammany equal represen~
tation in the convention without
forcing the State committee to stul-
tify it self. The Tammany delega-
ton was to enter the convention
and motion was to be passed as
soon as New York was reached on
the ron -call allowing them 81 dele
gates. This would leave 81 for the
County Democracy and net reduce
the 10 allowed to Irving Hall last
year. The agreement was to ,ex-
tend to the electoral ticket, the
State committee Eand to the delega-
to the National Convention, with
the slightest perceptibIe advantage
to the County Democracy en- the
electoral and the delegates Large.
The agreement extended no farther.
The Cleveland omen abandoned all
intention of forcing the Governor s
name on the convention. They were
to be satisfied with the passage of a
resolution indorsing his administers
ton and the sendingofan unpledg-
ed delegation to Chicago under the
unit rule. 1t. was all they could
get. By this they hoped to secure
a majority of the delegation anc
