A PATHETIC SCENE.
Caused by the Advance In Price OF Canary
Seed.


Seed.
''My poor little bird %
The reporter was passing low door
way on Gale de Estampa Andres when
he heard woman crying. Entering
the smoke-begrimed and narrow quar-
tiers, he found her mourning over a
dead canary.
"And it sang SO sweetly," she. broke
out when she noticed that she had q
sympathetic spectator.
The woman explained that the little
songster had died of starvation. She
had had the bird some time; it was her
constant companion. But she could not
afford to buy the food it needed. 1t
could not live on. any other. so its life
OF song had ceased
what food did the canary need?''
asked the newspaper man. lifting the
limp, downy creature to examine It.
ut wanted canary seed. That used
to sell for six and one-fourth cents q

woman, sobbing; lit raised then to
twelve and one-half cents. could nav
that" she added, ssbut during the past
few days it has gone up to three reals.
At first l managed to save money to
buy pound, but that soon went, and l
could not buy any more. / then offered
the bird lettuce, bisc lits, and even
some grains of wheat. The little thing
refused them, or at least took so slight
an amount that it commenced to shrink
and fall away. Turnip seed also has
gone UP to three reals in the Plaza. So
I had to watch my canary die without
being able to help it -
The reporter left the woman crying
over her bird.
It was an exceptional case. Few birds
refuse other food when canary seed is
not forthcoming, though all of them
prefer IL and it suits them best. Still,
all bird food is excessively high. Even
flies, that cost three cents a pound, now
cost eighteen cents. As there are hum
dreds Of poor people in this city who
make living by raising the birds, this
state OF the market strikes them very
disfavorably. The demand for canary
birds does not justify much Of an I'M
crease in their selling price, so the poor
people suffer. The matter may appear
OF small moment to some, but it IS an
important matter to these people, who
have for years depended on this indus
try for livelihood, and by studying its
various features have reduced the rails
ing of the birds to science, so that
the Mexican canary has acquired q
well-deseryed reputation in foreign
markets for its sweet voice and other
attractions.
The failure Of the crop of canary
seed in Germany, England and the
Canary Islands IS the reputed cause of
its high price in this city and elsewhere.

republic il Is said that it would thrive,

heard the planter blowing mp his
overseer for not having the hogs, that
ranged in the timber bordering the
swamp. out of the corn-field. The next
day the hogs got in again, and again
the overseer ''caught it johnson,

been renewed last winter. but there's
no chance to do it now and I insist that
you have the holes in it chinked so as
to keep the hogs out. or they win de-
stroy the CROP"
During this lecture two of the plant
er's sons rode up with the skin of
bear that they had just killed on the
edge of the swamp, near the corn-field.
Johnson's eyes glistened as he saw the
fresh skin. ..All right, Mr.. Parker, I'll
keep them hogs out Of the field now"
was his reply.
Every well. Don't you kill them,
thought
mo, I'll not kill them.''
That evening johnson succeeded in
tolling large boar into the lot. He
was penned and sewed up in the bear
skin.
The next day the hogs made their
regular raid on the corn-field, and then,
with AL hands present to witness opera
tons. the boar was turned into the same
field. Scared badly at his surround
ing" he rushed ut full speed for his
comrades for countenance and pro-
lection. ~
Terrified at the sight of an apparent
bear charging towards them, q stam-
pede ensued among his comrades, and
the finest scrub race occurred right
there that ever witnessed.
''Booh! boohr' was the starting sig
nal and away they went ut full speed,

the bunch ran. When the leading ones
got to tho hole In the fence. where they
had crowded in one at q time, few
got through in regular style; but the
balance were too much pressed for time
by the demon in pursuit to await their
turn-they charged the old fence, which
gave way, and into the woods, headed
in the direction of the swamp, holly
pursued by their handicapped comrade,
they disappeared.
Two yeas afterward while walking
down tie strand in Galveston was &C

FuLFlLLMENT OF DREAMS.

Remarkable Premonitions-The Death o
Friends Foretold.
This singular incident occurred on
the occasion of the late murder of Mr..
r. NJ. Stribling by i. E. Gladson, ut
Markham, Fauquier County, Va. the
former descendants of Chief Justice
Marshall aud of DIR. Strihlfsg, SO emil
nent for his treatment OF insane.
Two remarkable condolences have
been published in connection with the
killing of young Stribling, viz:
DIR. Walter Bruce. his brother-in-law,
native of Virginia, now resident at
Micanopy, Fla, late on Friday night
December 28th. awoke from sound
sleep, feeling that there was some mys-
FERROUS presence in his room, and got
up and lighted a lamp. Finding no
one, he returned to bed and fell into a
light sleep. and had a dream or vision
of his wife's brother, R. NJ. Stribling,
in deadly conflict, in which he had
his throat cut in horrible manner, and
was removed to store near by, placed
on counter, and after lapse of time
died from the effects of the wound. DR..
Bruce, though far from believing in
..isms,n such as spiritualism, visited .
medium in the town, who told him that
some awful calamity had befallen
young Stribling. The vision and its eff
feet on the mind of DIR. Bruce prevent
ed him from sleeping. Sure enough,
the next mail from Virginia announced
the death of his brother-in-law in the
exact manner and at the very hour he
had appeared to him.
A sister of the murdered man, who
was visiting relatives in Kentucky at
the time of his death, had also q SINH
lar dream, and while relating it at the
breakfast table was handed q dispatch
announcing its fulfillment.
The writer's brother-in-law furnishes
like experience. While on duty in the
British Navy in the Gulf of Mexico, he
saw the form of his father in dream
wildly presented. pale and CHASTITY,
though when he had lately parted with
him at Portsmouth, England. he was in
the vigor of his smanhood. The sue
oeeding mail conveyed the news Of his
death at the hour Of the occurrence OF
the sons dream.
The sacred Scriptures, as well a. hui
man experience of mankind, assert the
fact, If they do not explain the philoso-
ply, of dreams. Joseph, the destined
Prime Minister of Egypt, realized the
fulfillment of the dreams Of his bow

oLD-TIME SURGERY.
When It Was Thought = Wonderful Thing
to Shorten jaw.

When 1t Was Thought n Wonderful Thing
to shorten jaw.
A number of years ago there lived in
Wheeling a certain DIR. Hullien, who
became famous as surgeon. Some 0f
his operations were very brilliant and
decidedly awe-inspiring among tho
common people. One case in particu-
lar was thought to be unparalleled at
that time A young lady belonging to
one OF the best families in Eastern Ohio
was terribly disfgured by protruding
lower jaw. Hearing of DR.. HulIien's
skill as surgeon she prevailed upon
her father to allow her to go to Wheel
ing and see if anything could be done
to improve the shape of her face. She
went alone, and nothing was heard OF
her for two weeks except that she ar
rived there safely.
One evening as the shades of night
were gathering, really handsome lady
drove up to the gate in front of tho
farm house and asked if she could GET
lodging for the night. The well-to-d0
farmer said they did not keep holel;
besides, they were expecting their
daughter home at any time, so they
could not keep her. She said she
guessed she would stay anyhow, and
hoped out of the buggy. The farmer
thought she was an escaped lunatic,
and was about to shut and lock the
door in her face whep the house dog
came along and recognized the lady =
his young mistress.
1t was impossible to satisfy her pa
rents and sisters of her identity, so n
markable was the change in her ap-
pearance. In her pocket she had two
sections of jawbonc, each containing
three teeth, which explained how the
change had been made The operation
is quite common now, but. at that tiruo
it was rare. In this case there weee
three more teeth on either side Of IL
lower jaw than usual, and as they grew
they caused the jaw to project forward
At birth the lower jaw was but hiue
longer than the upper one. The SIR
geon merely resected the jaw on bch
sides by cutting out section on eifh6
side containing the extra teeth, cutting
out one in front to make the jaw NJ
rover and bringing the ends Of the
bones together. 1t was simple enOughs
but the country people laid awake 8
nights thinking and talking abont u.
