A Wise Young Fiancee.

New York Cor. Philadelphia Record.
| know of q young man who has a
tenor voice that, if it is heard in pub
lie in New York, will set the people
wild with delight. Some managers have
heard this young man, and have made
him offers Of a contract for as long as
he will sign it for $3.50 week; but
this young man has refused the offers,
and is singing in church and at an &C.
casional concert. Knowing how scarce
tenors are, and knowing what an ex-
ceptionalIy fine voice he has-there is
no one of the Italian opera who is at
all to be compared to hinl-I could but
wonder why he was not singing in
some of the light opera companies, and
l took the pains to ask those who
knew him what the reason was.
The answer was soon given. The
managers wanted him, would take him
in minute if they could get him, but
this young man is engaged to be mar
ricd to a yor1EE3man, and this young
woman made him promise that he
would not go on the operate stage.
She would rather they would live on
$50 or $50 week earned off the stage,
than to live on $3.50 or $500 earned
on the 81 ge.
W. young woman, said to my
. although you are not OF the stage
you know it's effects upon the average
young man. You know if your fiance,
with his beautiful voice and his fresh
young face, should appear before the
footlights he would be subjected to
temptations that it would take q pref
ty strong man to hold out against;
and you prefer that he should not be
in temptations way. Not only are
:he temptations at every hand, but
there seems to be something in the at
mosphere of the stage that takes all
the moral resistance out OF q mans
character and makes him an easy vic
tim to his surroundings.

Rather Lose Life Than Limb.
Erom the Boston Herald.

Miss Lena Solyel is a Swede, 20
years of age, employed as a domestic
in the family of Mr.. Adams, 223 West
Newton street. About $50 O'Clock
last evening, while returning from Rox-
bury on the East Boston horse car,
she alighted at the corner of fremont
and West Newton streets, when a
Brooklyn car going the opposite di-
rection ran over her left knee and
thigh. She was taken to the City Hos
pital, where it was decided that she
could not live unless the injured limb
was amputated., She positively refus
ed to have it taken off, arguing that
she was poor and friendless, and had
rather die at once than be g. cripple
for life. She was perfectly cool and
collected, and, although suffering Sc
we're pain, seemed as calm and reason
ed as philosophically about the rcmov-
al of her injured member as if it was
one of the most trivial matters posi-
BILE. AS the physicians have no au-
thority to force her decision, she Will
probably die, in case she docs not
change her mind.

A Three.Minute Geyscr.

fOTIaHQ OIcSOuldA.
Hoaxing travellers has always been
a favorite amusement with some peo-
pie who have been connected with our
transportation lines. There was
George Knaggs, President of the Cello
Lying Club, who has invented more
ingenious stories than can lie remem-
bered, but who has now turned a re-
spectacle and honorable citizen of
The Dalle,. How many have looked
with delight on the immense orchards
(of oak grubs) he has pointed to them
along the hills of Wasco County.
But there has arisen greater than
Knaggs, one who can lie in half a
dozen languages. Lately coming up
loud, roaring noise on the south side of
the river, and looking in the direction
of the sound, saw large column of
water rise to great height in the air.
An EXCITED lady, who inquired the
meaning of this phenomenon, was
told by the polyglot liar above men,
toned that there was a geyser over
there in the woods. But" said the
lady, II was along here q year ago
and I heard no mention of geysers:
son. was the reply. lit has only
lately broken out. It spouts every
three minutes after great roaring If
you will watch you will soon see it
again. Sure enough in a moment a
loud and prolonged roar was heard,
and then a huge column of water
flashed in the sun far above the inter-
vening trees. The lady was convinced
and was also delighted to have seen
this wonder of nature. AS the Orego-
,1i07a does not wish the Iowa editors to
be deceived by this romancer, it will
''give away the snap.' Capt. Ankeny
has long timber slide down the SIDE
of the mountain on the Prairie chan
mel. 1t is lined with railroad iron, and
the logs in descending it make a great
noise, and when the logs str Ike the
water they punch out a column the
full size of the log, just as the pth is
punched out Of an elder, and shove it
up in the air to great height. As
the logs follow each other down the
chute at short intervals the appear
ance of q spouting geyser is presented
to travellers along the main channel Of
The river.
