DEATH OF LITTLE ANNE MAY
Howard, Death has again insa
ded the household Of Hon. H. r.
Howard, of this city, his victim
this time being his bright little
daughter Annie May, aged 6 years
and 4 months. While her death
was not entirely unexpected, yet it
came as q shock and cast a gloom
aud ashadow over the home and
hearts of those who loved her.
This Is the third time within the
short period of two years, that the
Angel of Death with his dread
summons, has crossed the thresh.
old Of this happy homs. Little
Annie as she was endearingly call
ed by everyone, was a bright, in
telligent, vivacious child, the light
Of the household, and the pride
aud joy Of her parents hearts,
Winsome in manner, with an in.
tellec! far beyond her years. and a
tender and loving disposition, her
departure through the "sunless
Valley Of the shadow Of Death, " is
the more deeply deplored. While
her merry prattle will never more
gladden. the hearts of those who
loved her, and the football of her
little feet will never more be heard
in The home made desolate by her
death, yet let US think that she
has Just gone down in the garden
to gather flowers" aud that she
will sleep sweetly under the dais
les. To the chaslened hearts of the
borcaved parents We commend the
blessed words of our Saviour, "suf
fer little children to come unto me
and forbid them not for of such is
the Kingdom Of Heaven"

eral light tobaccos are also open to the
objection of emitting burning smoke,
owing to the large proportion of
wooden 6bers which they contain, not

English bird's-eye, and that the smoke
from these tobaccos is Of such high
temperature as often to cause slight
inflammation of the tongue, which

WITCH DOCTORS IN SCOTLAND,
1t seems that witch doctors still
flourish in Scotland. We are assured
that implicit belief in witchcraft is
not infrequently associated with osten-
tatiOus professions CT religion, self
righteousness and ardent Sabbatarian-
ISM" 1t is common, it appears, for
witch doctors to save fshing-smacks,
or give them immunity from the per-
Ills of the deep, which is done by spit
ting on the boat under cover of dark
ness; inscribing cabalistic characters
on it with a wand, and muttering
Gaelic incantations. The witch doc
tor is in great demand, too, for dis
eases of the eve. To effect cure it
is necessary that the professor of dem
onology should receive his fees before
hand, and should not see the patient;
he goes through series of contortions
and lamentations at home. And all
this witchcraft fourishes in religious
and educated Scotland,

His fine trip was over the

He INDUCED in an excursion to Los An

there was no railroad, aud the drivers
were to sharp for a stowawsy on the

then went down through Texas, visited
Arkansas, and brought up at New Orleans.
where he spent two weeks In the
city jsil, and lived better than ever before
in his life. He made Kansas City his
headquarters for while, taking a trip to
New Orlesns and another 10 Baltimore
meanwhile. He left Kansas City few
month ego and came through to Fhiis-
delphi a, and, after staying there awhile
rode in a coal car to Jersey City. He fell
in with the West Shore railroad employees
at that place, ard his knowledge of rail-
reading made him so popular that they
took good care of him until he got tired
and wanted change. He patronizsd the
