THE RETURNING BALL.
Peddler Who Invented Toy Which
 Netted Him a Small Fortune.

A Peddler Who Invented a Toy Which
 Netted Him a Small Fortune.
 For good many years, summer and winter, rain or shine, John Burke, stalwart Irishman, peddled goods through the city of Brooklyn, from Red Hook to Greenpoint, and from Fulton Ferry to East New York. He was known by all the children in the dls- tricts which he visited. He liked to see a good-looking girl, and he married three times.
 Catherine Burke was his third wife, and he married her because she had been in his employ during the lifetime of wife No. 2. Catharine was ambitious, and she induced John to make an effort to rise in the world. He engaged in the business ot a fakir and went about with little platform, from which he harangued his audiences. under his arm, and with little coal-oi1 lamp stuck on long pole, which served to illuminate the surroundings.
 John tramped through the States ot New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Connecticut and Massachusetts and W uOn SlOOO Ou HIS stand near the village tavern a crowd soon gathered about him, his oil lamp and his little rostrum. His talk to the rural public was full of the native wit of an Irishman, dnd he always got his hearers into good humor with his sallies and small talk before exposing his wares to their wondering gaze. <John had mind with an inventive turn and turned it to good account. He made a name for himself by inventing what is known as the returning ball, rubber globe attached to rubber. string, and cleared SS0,000.
 Then the Burke family rose from its obscurity and looked down from its financial height upon it's admiring neighbors. John Burke and his wife gave splendid entertainments to their particular friends, at which the punch bowl was frequently emptied, and many a reel was reeled and many a jig was jigged. Johns particular friends helped him to get away with large part of his wealth. What he had left he invested in big tenement house in York street with mortgage of Sl4,- 900. In September, last year, Cath arine Burke got decree of separation from her husband on the ground of cruel and inhuman treatment. Brook lyra Times.

A Pretty Story.

A very pretty story reaches us from Windsor. Prince and Princess Henry of Battenberg, were out walking in Windsor Park recently, and came across a woe-begone little boy sitting at the foot of tree crying his very hardest. The little man, on being questioned, admitted that he had wandered beyond the limits assigned him by his mother, and had succeeded in thoroughly losing himself. How to get back to the maternal apron was a question that sadly puzzled him. Prince and Princess Henry, Samaritan like, resolved on restoring the little wanderer to the fold, and set out with him across the park. As the boy was tired the Prince mounted him on his shoulder, and ESQ to Windsor" Before, however, reaching the maternal abode. Princess Beatrice took the boy into confectioner's shop and surfeited him with dainties, besides providing him with a huge bag of comfits for his stay-at-home brothers and sisters. The truant's mother was nonplussed when Princess Beatrice laughingly gave up her charge, and begged that he might not be punished. We fear, however, that Tommy got a skipping for his '.impertinence" in giving so much trouble to the Prince and Princess BeLfdSt Witness.

my brother bounded across the raft, drawing me W th him, and with deS- perate leap, only to be ventured in peril such as ours, sprang over the faihom- broad space of rushing water, on to the rock beyond. Another moment and 1 too had leaped it; and standing in com parative safety on that small but inn movable refuge, we watched the raft, whose fate we had so nearly shared, plunge over the foaming cataract, to be dashed into the deep chasm below.
 Still we were girt round by many dangers. A single slip might detach us from the rock, a single wave still sweep us over the falls; while looking land ward, nothing was visible save a few dark, jutting rocks, around which the river foamed. Their wet, slippery points afforded little hope of escape, yet it was our only one, and therefore must be tried; and with rigidly braced nerves and concentrated energies, we com- menced our hazardous task of leaping from rock to rock, closing our ears to the deafening roar, and our eyes to the hurrying current over which we passed, as we pursued our perilous way, until, by the mercy of Providence, the fourth rock brought us to the shallower water, through which we waded to land.
 The now rugged bank gave easy ac- cess to the land above; and few hours travel southward brought us to Lake Weno, where, to our surprise, we found our companion-rafts in safety, and learned that we had passed, without ob serving, the narrower but safe outlet to the river furnished by the Weno creek, and thus not only missed Jerome and the lumberers sent back to aid us, but encountered that most fearful incident of our lives, our escape from the Weno Falls -BaLlou'S Magagjnc.
