Killed by an Earthquake.

The vale of Cashmere in India was
visited by Il terrible earthquake recent
ly, and the greater part of the city OF
Serinagur near the center was destroy
ed. The Mohammedan mosque in the
little town of SOpar, 20 miles north OF
Serinagur, was demolished by the
earthquake and 200 persons were kill
ed. Fifty persons are known to have
been killed in Serinagur. The shocks
came with great violence at intervals
of 10 minutes. When they were first
felt the widest panic seized the people.
Every one able to do SO rushed from
the tumbling houses, and fled to the
boats on the river and on the lakes, or
sought the open country. The terrified
inhabitants are now camped in the
fields that surround the town. The
damage throughout the yale is enOr-
nous. The loss of cattle alone is very
great. The affrighted people seem to
be utterly helpless, and succor is being
sent them as rapidly us the Indian au-
thorities can organize relief. Many of
the houses yet standing show large
rents in the walls, and must be RACED
to the ground. The shocks have not
yet ceased and this fact greatly retards
the work of rescuing the people pinned
down i'll the debris, and it is feared
many of these must perish before they
can be reached 10y the relief parties.

thanked them for all their good wishes,
more especially "Lady Margaret" as
he called her ; the mention of which
caused roars of laughter. The title has
chung to her from that day to this, and
letters are often addressed to her bear
ing that title. On one occasion she
said to the Premier, "Eh, sir, why do
you not come and live with us always,
where everybody thinks so much of
you, instead of going up to London and
bOthering yourself with those fellows
who will never let you alone? Why
not settle down here in your beautiful
home, and enjoy yourself9" "Well,"
said MIR. Gladstone, ''let me put you a
question. Why should you not sell
your horse and cart and give up trou-
bling yourself about this going to and
from Chester ?""Eh, but, "she answered,
''that is my work, and think if gave

over her with a sudden force that she
had been in the habit of driving her
husband from pillar to post at rail-
road speed and at the end of a broom
or dust brush. 1t might have worked
on his nervous system until he had
suddenly become insane. Horrible
thought! He might have committed
suicide.

All was gloom. She went to the bu-

was indeed a scene of desolation, when
suddenly the door of that horrible par

wife, ''and the dinner is all eaten up,

and she went out taking the children
with her.
How much of it Mr.. Skinner ever
knew it is impossible to say, but there
was an immediate and satisfactory
change that at first amazed and then
delighted him. He could lie down
anywhere when he was tired and his
wife would throw a shawl over him,
and leave him in peace. He has even
been seen to lie down on the sofa in the
parIor where he took his Rip Van Win
kle sleep, and nobody disturbed him.
Mrs. Skinner was at heart a woman of
sense, and when she realized that one
hair of that gray head was worth more
to her than all the pillow shams in the
world, she put the last one away i'll the
company of demented assortment of
supertluous tides. And they are
really and truly, and not in any ZOO
logical sense, il "happy family" now.

LangShan Hens Eggs.

A well-known Manchester official
some four or five weeks ago procured
in Londonderry sitting of Langshan
hens eggs for friend who wished to
send them to his brother, an up country
farmer. Before the eggs had been de-
livered to the mans friend a prominent
citizen, noted for his mischievous pro-
pensities, secretly purlOined them and
put in their place an equal number pro-
cured from neighbOring grocery. In
due course the eggs went north, were
set by the eXpectant farmer and in
three weeks there appeared eleven
snow white chicks instead of the look
ed for black Langshans. This led to
Investigations and discoveries and later
on the practical joker received from a
law firm a request to call and settle the
following bill.

Anecdotes of Mr.. Gladstone.

anecdotes about the English Premier,
mostly collected in the vicinity of Ha-
warden. Here are IL few specimens =
About forty years ago several haul
ers were employed in carrying pig
iron from Brymbo to QuecnSferry.
Among the number was one William
Griffiths, who is still alive. This man,
when going down 'Tinkersdale one
day, with his load of iron, was acc0st-
ed by stranger, who chatted very
freely with him. Among other ques-
tions, the stranger asked how much he
got per ton for carrying the iron.

NOrthrOp, like most other important
villages, has its carrier. This man
visits Chester once or twice week,
and carries all manner of goods for the
inhabitants of the districts through
which he passes. On one occasion he
brought a barrel of beer from Chester
to farmer living in Moor-lane, the
entrance to which is close to one of Mr..
lodges. Arriving ut this
spot he stopped his horse, and was
how he could manage to
get the barrel lowered, for he was to
