A Novel Bird Trap.


A Washington pedestrian, reports q
curious incident of the effect of warm
weather upon the asphalt pavement. 1t
was 2 20 O'clock when ! sparrow flew
down to catch grasshopper. The
grasshopper didn't move, for the good
reason that its feet were stuck fast,
and before the sparrow was through
eating the morsel it was i'm a like condi-
ton. Its mate flew oyer its head and
about chirping piteously aud flew down
to rescue its better half. 1t, too, upon
resting its feet in the tar, was stuck fast.
If sparrows were like men all the feath-
cred tribe in that tree would have flown
away without hearing of the piteous
cries of their kindred. But they didn't,
but one by one they flew down to the
rescue and one by one their tiny feet
stuck in the tar, until at $40 O'Clock
the reporter counted seventeen sparrows
stuck fast i'm the concrete.

Mrs. Charles has for years been
great sufferer from neuralgia, and at
one time was attacked with congestion
of the brain. From q gradual failing
sight,the lady three or four months ago
lost entirely the use of her eyes and be-,
came, as it. was thought, hopelessly
blind. Expert medical attendance failed
to effect any relief, and gave the lady
little hope of ever regaining her sight.
Recently the sudden and alarming cry
of "Fire !" rang Fl om the lips of one Of
her daughters. Realizing her immi-
nent peril, it seems that, in the despair
with which a drowning man grasps at
a straw, the lady made an effort to open
her eyes. The long unused nerves re-
sponded to her will. The alarm proved
to be without foundation, but the fright
it caused restored sight which physi-
clans had given up as hopeless. In an
interview with physician the reporter
learned that 1t was more than proOaDle
that during the long time Mrs. Charles
had suffered from neuralgia the optic
nerves had become weakened and a loss
of nervous current had ensued which
was partially restored by the sudden
shock which the fright produced. The
lady is now enjoying comparatively
good sight, and the impression prevails
that she will fully recover.-San Fran
cisco Call.

\. - q Q b.
kilispatch from FREDERICK Md, 70
wednesdayss BEltimore 1maiFn, says
'aFrederick A.Markey, Jr.. By Frederick
A. Marley, his father and next friend,
has brought suit against Charles w.
Miller postmaster at Frederick, for
SANDER, in the sum of ten Thousand dol
lars. The suit was entered upon the
docket of the Circuit Court
Of this county. Capt. james McSherry
is Mr.. Markey's counsel, while Mr..
Miller has retained VIM. p. Maulsby,
Jr.. to defend his cause. The action
grew out of n charge made by Postmas-
ter Miller against young Markey of en-
bezzling thirty dollars while clerk in
the postofiice, which position he held
until last Friday. Since this charge
has been made it transpires that there is
shortage In the postofflce funds of
nearly nine hundred dollars, which has
gotten away, it is alleged within the
mast few months. Postmaster Mi Her
claims that three hundred dollars of his
private funds have also disappeared, but
by what means he knows not. Young
Marley is not charged with taking any
more than thirty dollars, but he stoutly
denies that charge, He has always
borne a reputation above reproach, and
though charged as above, there are
many people who believe him entirely
and are satisfied an inyestiga-
ton will prove him so. 1t is quite
likely an investigation of the postoffice
affairs will be made at once, and uatil
that is done and'a report made, nothing
can be definitely known by what means
the shortage has occurred. The bring
ing of the suit aud the alleged shortage
in the postotiice are the all-absorbing
topIcs In this city just now, and the de-
velopmenls of the case will be watched
with considerable interest. The parties
are all well-known citizens i'm this COM
and Mr.. Marley is a member
of one of the Oldest families of the
county," .s.;

Don't Eat in n Hurry.

A health journal says that people
ought to take three-quarters of an hour
for dinner. This is well if there is
enongh dinner to hold out so long. Tile
penalty for hurrying meals, as most
people do. is a grievous attack of dys-
pepsia. In. such a case you will have to
resort to Browns Iron Bitters for cure,

The Presidents Tart Letter.

A New York Times special says that
few days ago President Cleveland ap-
pointed to a judgeslip man who pre-
scented petition numerously signed.
Shortly after the appointment was made
the President received letter from one
of the persons who had signed the petit
ton. saying that the writer had signed
the petition simply to get rid OF the
man, and that he had never expected
for an instant that the petition would re-
ceiye any consideration. Mr.. Cleveland
promptly sent him the following reply:
. EaEopTIyE MAANsIoN'
WASHINGTON, Aug, ], 1883,
DEAR sIR.-I have read your letter OF the
9th nit. with amazement and Indignation,
There Is but one mitigation to the perfidy
which your letter discloses, and that Ii FOUND
in the fact that you confess your share IN IL.
don't know whether you are Democrat or
not, but II you are the crime which you con-
fess il the more unpard9nable. The idea that.
this administration. pledged to give the pep
pie better government and better officers, and
engaged In hand to hand fight with the bad
elements Of both parties, should be betrayed
by those who ought to be worthy Of implicit
trust is atrocious, and such treason to the
people and to the party ought to be punished
by imprisonment.
Your confession comes too late to be OF I'M
mediate use to the public service, ana can
only say that while this is not the first time
have been deceived and misled by lying and
treacherous representations you are the FIRST
one that has so frankly owned his grievous
fault. If any comfort is to be extracted from
this assurance You are welcome to IT, 81. f..
Yours truly,
