TRUE HEROES.

The Noble work Dose by the
Monks 81 So. Bernard and Their
Dog.
Iii is only within the past few days
that particulars have been published
in the Swiss papers Of q brave rescu
effected on Mount st. Bernard on
the night Of the last Sunday in No.
vember. While q violent snow
storm vas in progress Grand the
manager Of the hospice, noticed that
bis own special dog that was alone
with him in the room became very
restless, and made signs to him to go
out. He took the lantern and fog
horn and went out on the mountain
the dog leading him. In q very
short time he heard q call and
grooming, and, helped by the dog,
dug out Of the snow an Italian.
whom he carried on his back into
the hospice. The rescued man
stated that his father, two brothers
and another Italian, all journeyiDg
home with him over the pass. lay
buried in the snow. He had pushed
on to obtain help, pu. had been
overpowered by the storm. Grand
made ready and went out again.
This second search was more tedi-
u and led him further away, but
al last the barking Of the dog an
nounced q discovery. 1t was the
Italian stranger who was now saved
and carried up to the bosPice. A
third time Grand and his dog sailed
out into the tempest, and after q
quarter OF an hours search found the
others near where the second man
had been discovered. They were
quite buried under the snow and
almost insensible. He took the
most feeble on his own shoulder, and
with much difficulty conducted the
others to the hospice. 1t was now
past midnight, and his toilsome task
had now occupied Grand yer four
hours in q binding snow-storm.-

Among the burials in this city on

honored Laurel Hill Avenue Ply

ten years under the name of
"Splend," which is short for

weighing about fourteen pounds and
had made a big egg record. Had

eggs for ostrich eggs to collectors
without much danger of being de-
tected. She knew when it was

not only for what she did, but also

royal burial was accorded her.

A Deacon ON Dancing.

Mr.. Sutherland said he had at
tended an evening party given by a
deacon recently. and when the
=" music arose with its voluptuous
swell even his converted feet be-
gan to itch. He then realized the in.
sidious nature Of this fascinating
amusement, and he came away to
avoid temptation. He knew, he
said, . young woman about Is years
old who had an insane idea that she
would like to go on the stage. Her
father was q Baptist preacher, but be
had been so eager to convert his
daughter that he overdid the matter
and she became an infdel. Mr..
Sutherland decided to show the
young woman what the stage wal
like behind the footilights. he
sent q letter to Ned Hsrrigan, telling
his object. In due time he
and the would-be actress went
behind the scenes. They ar
rived just in time to see a
portion Of the scenery accidentally
fall and to hear q volley of oaths
which caused the girls face to
blanch. They went on, however,
and the young woman was literally
sprinkled with dust and decorated
with paint. Besides this, she got q
very good idea of what an actiess
was when she was Invested of her
nnery. The young woman went
away from the theater Disguised
with the ida which had so recently
fascinated her. and now she was the
happy wife Of q Csiifornian.-N Y.

Marcus Aurelius Smith is the

one would expect to come from

feet in height, with hair somewhat
unkempt, q mustache that droops
down over his chin and shirt collar.
and the general air Of . rustler from
away back. No one would ever
think of calling him Marcus
Aurelius and so his friends always
know him as plain Mark. He is
an incorporating Democat, and
that can hardly be wondered at, for
he awas born and brought mp
in Kentucky. where he lived
until he went out to Cochise
county, in Arizona, and began, as
all good Blue Grass Democrats do.
to hold office. He proved himself
a very fearless Prosecuting Attorney
for the county when he was elected,
although the hustlers and law
breakers had all supported him with
the idea that Mark would be easy on
tho boys. But he was not. On
the contrary. he made Cochise
county so hot and uncomfortable
for the stage-robbers, horse thieves
and COW branders who infested it
that he very soon brought the
county within the pale OF civiliza
ton and won a deserved reputation
for himself. Then the people sent
him to Congress, and they do say
the boys voted for him in order to
get him ont OF the Territory, If only
temporarily.-N Y. Press.

She took off their shoes and when

continued the rubbing process when
necessary. The parents gave up
their children as lost. but early Fri

George Bancroft.

When George Bancroft was born tho en- tire population of the Union was but 5,30S,-
 iS3, and at that time there was neither steamboat, railroad nor telegraph; the Span- ish possessions in America spread on both
 sides of the equator far into the temperate zope, over 50 degs. of latitude, and American statesmen feared that Kentucky
 was too far from tho seat of government to be held in the federation; Indiana contained but 5, 5,000 white people and Illinois as many hundreds; the United States was paying tri- Dute to pirates in Africa, France was in the agonies of transformation from tho first republic to the first empire, there was no such nation as Germany, no such kingdom as italy, and no other republic on the continent than this. Great Britain still upheld the slave trade, and America had no native
 literature save a few minor productions. Sixty-four years ago Bancroft published his first book, sPolitics of Ancient Greece" and avowed himself an advocate of universal suffrage and uncompromising democracy. At the same time he began work on his great history and the first volume appeared in 1884,. He was collector of the port of Boston under President Van Buren, secretary of tho navy under President Polk, minister to Rus sia under President Johnson and to Germany under President Grant. He founded the Naval Academy at Annapolis and issued the order under which the navy took possession of Cali fornia. And now his old age at Washington is diversified by long walks and daring horse back rides. Such 0 life gives assurance that the old New England stock (he is native of Worcester, Mass.) has not degenerated.
