RELEASED FROM PRISON IN TINE TO AT
TEND ANOTHER SISTERS FUNERAL.

A dispatch from Milwaukee, Wis,
SAYS; 4 particularly sad case is chroni-
cled by q special telegram from Madison
announcing the issuance by Gov. Rusk
of pardon to Mrs. Rebecca Merroot, of
Baraboo, and Mrs. Margaret NJ. Cody,
of Oak. The women in May last were
sentenced to two years In State Prison
for perjury. They are sisters and also
sisters of the wife of James Kirby, who
in June, 1884, was sentenced to five
years in the State prison for burglary.
On the trial Mrs. Merroot and Mrs-
Cody swore that on the night of tho
burglary Kirby was with them at Bara-
boo, where Kirby's wife was In labor.
This was proven to be false testi-
mony, hence their conviction. 1t SEEM
ed that Kirby had threatened their lives
unless they swore to an alibi, and they
were further urged into this course by
their sister, Kirby's wife, who said it
was necessary to save her life. The
case of the convicted women, one of
whom had babe In her arms when SEN
fenced, created much sympathy. The
Governor finally yielded to the enor-
nous pressure brought to bear on him
and issued pardons. One hour after
the Governor had signed the papers o
telegram came announcing that another
sister, with her husband and three
children, were burned to death at Nc

The Blind Chaplain of the House.

A Washington letter says: No Chap
lain within the memory of the oldest
Representative has commanded the re-
spect and affection of that unruly body
as DIR. Milburn does. His predecessors
were, without exception, tiresome and
slow. The morning prayer was invari-
ably delivered in a sing songy fashion,
and the whole performance bore the
perfunctiOnary air of a man trying to
earn his salary with as little effort as
possible. DIR. BIilburn's daily invoca-
tion is eloquent and brief The full,
rich tones of his voice fill the chamber
and the adjoining cloak rooms. Every
word can be distinctly heard During
the delivery of his prayer the members
rise to their feet and remain in that
position, reverently and respectfully,
until its conclusion. Such action on
the part of the members is all the more
remarkable when it is remembered that
in former times no more attention was
paid to the Chaplain or his utterances
than if he were q thousand miles away
Dr. Milburn visits the members of the
House precisely as other pastors visit
their Pensioners. He makes no dis
functions on account of political or reli-
cious differences. With the Roman
Catholics, of whom there are quite a
number, he is in every way as popular
as with the most orthodox of Protes-
fants. 1t is very evident that the rev.
ercnd doctor has created profound i'm
preston upon the rather unusual con-
gregation over which he is called to
preside, and that he may be regarded as
q fixture, so long, at least, as the DEM
ecrsts remsia Ia control Of the House.

nj. Pasteur on Rabies.

A young man who was bitten two
days ago by dog, a Paris letter says,
Immediately took it to the Veterinary
but as the animal did not appear to be
affected with-rabies 1t was returned to
the owner-a proceeding, in my opinion,
rather strange, for certain ly the animal
should have been kept under observa
ton at least for some days. The young
man, however, being naturally anxious
about himself, wrote to M. Pasteur
asking him to appoint an hour to re-
ceive him. The illustrious savant i'm
mediately replied by letter, and, as it
is rather instructive, l give it here In
its entirety: at is useless for you to
come. Every mad dog, whether it eats
or not, dies from rabies in few days
II it eats, death takes place little more
slowly, but it never exceeds eight or
ten days. In the interval it manifests
rabic symptoms. Confine the dog to
his kennel, where he must be fed with
precaution for at least twelve days
This had better be done under the
supervision of veterinary surgeon. If
the dog lives after the time indicated,
you may be assured that the dog is not
mad. Meanwhile you have nothing else
to care about than the wound caused
by the bite. This should not be neg
lected. The saliva of dog, even that
of a healthy one, contains microbes
foreign to tho rabic virus, and those
microbes might produce assesses, and,
in certain exceptional cases, septicumia.
In case the dog should go mad, come to
me without delay, and will apply. the
preseryative treatment for rabies"

Beavers as Builders.

I do not think, says Colonel T. W.
Higginson, the dams made by beavers
show as much ingenuity as their canals.
1t is much easier and safer for them to
carry their food and building material
by water than land So sometimes they
cut canal across the bend of stream
to shorten the distance Sometimes,
again, it is cut through the mud until
they reach firm ground for their burrows.
These canals are usually about three feet
wide and three deep, and they are some
times five hundred feet long. Any engi
neer will tell you that it needs good
deal of skill and ingenuity to decide
where to lay out such q canal as that,
and to cut it regularly, so that the water
shall flow smoothly through. And the
most remarkable thing of all Is that
they know how to combine the principles
of the canal and the dam, so that when
they come to an obstruction, such as
rock in the bed of their stream, they
Immediately make dam to secure tho
necessary flow of water. Successive
generations evidently work for many
years upon these canals, and can hardly
think of any thing else done by an
animal that shows go much contrivance.

A STORY OF THE SOUTH.
A Little Yarn Full TO the Brim of Ro.
nance.

About two years before the war, near
a pretty and substantial residence in
the vicinity of prosperous little town,
beautiful young girl, about fourteen,
was sleeping In a hammock swung from
two stately oaks in grove. She was
pretty picture of innocence and grace.
and won the admiration of the passers.
In meadow to the rear, fat, meek
eyed cow reclined in the shade, rumi-
mating the food she had gathered in the
morning. But what has the COW got to

ed; well, wait and see. Across the road
from the house, the girl and cow is a
meadow, with abranch running through
1t, and coming up the branch is boy
with gun. When within 100 yards of
the girl, and about $50 from the cow, a
bird few up and sailed in the air to-
ward the cow. The boy fired at the
bird, which flew on unhurt, but the
cow received pretty strong dose of
shot. She Immediately arose In fright,
dashed through the grove, caught the
girl and hammock on her horns, and
rushed with her shrieking victim about
the lot. The terrified girl became
silent, and the crowd of relatives and
friends in pursuit thought that she was
dead. The wild fury of the cow as she
rushed around soon tore the netting
loose, and the girl dropped unconscious
to the ground. She was picked up and
taken into the house, and on examina-
tion, only a few minor bruises were
found. The boy, thinking he was the
innocent cause of the killing of the
young girl, disappeared. All trace of
him vanished. 1t was thought that he
had persisted by his own hand; but
about six years after the war a travel
stained stranger was in the town inquir-
ing Tor persons, most of whom had been
swept away by the war. After a long
search the stranger found an old man
on a load of wood and in conversation
with him learned where one of the par
ties he was in search of lived, a few
miles out of town. He went there,
made himself known, and turned out to
be the boy of the gun. The people he
found were his father and his mother,
who had mourned him as dead for
eight years. The boy had been in South
America, got rich, and yearnrng for the
love of the old folks, returned to the
desolated home of his childhood, and
made his loved ones comfortable For
the first time then, hearing that the girl
was uninjured, he called on her, and
finding her pretty, good and a first class
home woman, he put in with a will, got
her heart as his own, and the old folks
consent, and has been for the last twelve
or fourteen years one of the leading
men of his section This Is fact

4 DINNER AND A KISS.


81 have brought your dinner, father"
The blacksmith's daughter said,
As she took from her arms kettle,
And lifted its shining lid.
ssThere'S not any pie or pudding,
So will give you this;
And upon his toil-worn forehead
She left childish kiss.
The blacksmith tore off his apron
And dined in happy mood,
Wondering much st the SAVIOR
Hid in his humble food;
Hhile all about were visions
Full Of prophetic bliss,
But he never thought of the magic
In his little daughters kiss.
While she with her kettle swinging,
Merrily trudged away,
Stopped at the sight Of squirrel,
Catching some wild birds lay;
And thought how many shadow
OF life ami fate we would miss
II always our frugal dinners
We're seasoned with q kiss.

Capt. Clarke's Career.

The San Francisco Bulletin says /:
Capt. Clarke, of the American ship
Frank N Thayer. the mutiny of whose
crew off Cape of Good Hope was an
nounced by telegraph last Saturday, was
the central figure in one of the most
prominent criminal trials in the history
of this city. He brought the American
ship Sunrise into this port in the sum-
mer of 1873, and shortly afterward was
charged by his crew with various acts of
cruelty. He and his two mates, Harris
and MalonPy, were tried by juries be-
trials being lengthy and attracting wide
attention. Clarke and his counsel in
81 ted that the charges had been magni-
fed by the press. On Oct. % Clarke
was convicted on seven of the fourteen
counts in the indictment against him. 4
month later the first mate was convicted
on "a counts for cruelty. The other
mate pleaded guilty. The captain was
sentenced by Judge Sawyer to fourteen
months imprisonment in the county Jail
and to pay fine of 1000 Mate Har-
ris was sent to the State prison for four
years, and Maloney to the county Jail
for two months The latter died after
three weeks confinement. Capt Clarke's
fine was paid and he was soon released
from Jail under pardon from President
Grant. Meanwhile his aged father had
come out from Boston and taken COM
mand of the ship, and sailed out of
port. Capt. Clarke's wife had sailed
with him on his voyage on the Sunrise,
and testified on the trisl, her evidence
being of negative character While
these proceedings were pending great
indignation was caused by the act of
the United States Marshal in conducting
the witnesses from the county Jail to
court room in irons. These were the
crew who had been taken into custody
to insure their testifying. The act of
handwriting them was denounced by
