LITTLE MARY's SECRET.

A resident of Peterboro street who
has little three-year-old daughter
named Mary, was sitting in his
library after dinner, when the little
one climbed on his knee.
Papa, do 90 love me?" she asked
very sweetly.
eyes, pet, very much indeed, I"
was the hearty response.
"Does 90 love me a whole house.
ful?"
Being assured of this, little Mary
became very demonstratlve, and her
father felt that her face and arms
were dripping wet.
"Halloo" he exclaimed. "been in
mischief, Nary"
"Papa, asked Mary, insinuatingly
can 90 keep a secret?"
Her father assured her that he
could. whereupon she whispered to
him:
"Me spilled finger bowl at dinner
me most dwon'd; don you tell
mamma, cause sometimes she's Just
horrid."

He was young and inexperienced,
and as he struggled to tell his love,
his tongue cleaved to the roof of his

a beautiful solitaire diamond engage

finger.

A TURKEY FOR ONE.

Our Lura's Uncle Roy is in Japan.
He used to take Christmas dinner at
! Lura's home. Now he could only
write her papa to say of box of
gifts had been sent and one was for
his little girl.
The little girl clapped her hands,
crying, 20 mammal don't you think
it is the chain and locket dear uncle
said he would sometime give me?"
No." replied her papa. reading
on, "your uncle says it is a turkey
for one."
but we do nor need turkeys from
Japan" remarked the little girl,
soberly.
Her papa smiled and handed the
open letter to her mamma.
Read it aloud, every bit," begged
Lura; seting her mamma was smil-
ing, too.
But her mamma folded the letter
and said nothing.
On Christmas eve the box which.
had just arrived, was opened, and
every one in the house was made
glad with a present. Lura's was a
Paper-mache turkey, nearly as large
as the one brought home at the same
time by the market boy.
Next morning while the fowl in the
kitchen was being roasted, Lura
placed hers before a window and
watched people admire it as they
passed. All its imitation feathers,
and even more its red wattles, seemed
to wish every man and woman, boy
and girl, merry Christmas.
Lura had not spoken of the jewelry
since her uncle's letter was read. 1t
is not nice for one who received
gift to wish it was different. Lura
was not that kind of little child.
When dinner was nearly over, her
papa said to her, "My dear, you
have had as much of my turkey as
you wanted; if you please, 1 will now
try some Of yours"
Mine is what Uncle Roy calls
turkey for one," laughed Lura. She
turned in her chair towards where
her bird had been strutting on the
window-sill, and added, in surprise,
"Why, what has become OF him?"
AT that moment the waiter brought
in huge platter. When room had
been made for it on the table it was
set down in front Of Lura's papa, and
on the dish was her turkey.
"Oh, what funp' gayly exclaimed
the child. ''Did uncle tell you to
pretend to serve it?"
Il have not finished what he di-
rects me to do" her papa said, with
flourish of the carving-knife.
But papa-oh, please" Her
hand was on his arm. "You would
not spoil my beautiful bird from
Japanp'
A hidden spring was touched with
the point OF The knife. The breast
opened, and disclosed the fowl filled
with choice toys and other things.
The first taken out was tiny box;
inside was gold chain and locket;
the locket held Uncle Roy's picture.
1t was turkey for one-for only
Uncle Roy's niece. But all the fam
lily shared the amusement.

Buckrag, who is very much of a

There may be spots where the shark
is more numerous than off New Guinea

minutes from the time the man received
the bite he was dead, and his body was
terrible sight to look at.
When we had buried our companion
in the sands we loaded our guns with
fine shot and went snake hunting. We
killed a round dozen of the collar
snakes between the tent and the spring,
and felt assured that the firing would
rid the neighborhood of any which had
escaped US. They had probably been
drawn that way by the scent of the blood
an dmeat. The tragedy had upset US both,
and neither was inclined to sleep that
night. 1t was we'll that we were in
wakeful mood. Ever since the Indian
Sea was navigated by European vessels
there has been more or less piracy. AT
this time almost every island had its
boss wrecker, who was no better than
pirate. While not daring to attack a
ship if she was caught in distress it
went hard with her. 1t was quiet,
starlight night, and was sitting outside
the tent while my comrade was lying
down in2ide, when l caught sound
from the water which alarmed me. As
rose up and advanced l caught sight
of a native craft stealing into the rip
from the lower side. She was from the
Pindoo Islands, to the north of US, and
was a spiceboat. She had single mast
and lateen sail, and during calm was
pulled by oars. | ran back to my COM
panion, and we crept forward on hands
and knees to discover the object of the
visit. Had the men been honest they
would have been talking or singing.
They would not have come into the
rip had they not known of our presence,
and the fact of their coming so quietly
BODIED i'll for US. The craft was grounded
about one hundred feet above US, and

YEsTFRDAY,s CoNVENTIeN.

The Democratic convention at Hartford yesterday was pretty solemn affair, and it was made harmonious only by the exercise of much skill. As it was, Brother Gallagher got in free trade speech, and the resolu- tions adopted endorsed the Democratic na-
 tional platform of 1884, and approved its de- mand for readjustment of the tariff !, regardfnl of our industrial interests and the interests of American labor against the cheaper labor of Europe. President Cleve- land was also warmly endorsed and the con- stitution of the United States was approved. We believe that a few Democrats who live in New Haven entertained hope that they could show that William H. Barnum hadn't much power and didn't deserve what he did have. But he didn't mind much about them and the delegation is satisfactory to him. Some Offensive partisans" were somewhat ''pernicious'' in their 'tactivity" before and l during the convention, but it is not probable that President Cleveland will hear about it.

THE PANAMA CANAL

It is believed that De Lesseps' latest lottery scheme, which has received the sanction of large majority of the chamber of deputies, will pass the senate and be approved by President Carnot. It is a very important matter, both for the French and some other people. De Lesseps will probably now get what money he wants to complete the canal. For he will, of course, make it appear that the French government is responsible for the completion of the canal and the protection of those who have put money into it. The bill allows the conversion of bonds previous ly issued into Q lottery loan subject to con- ditions identical with those now ratified, and thus the whole indebtedness of the concern may seem to be sheltered under legislative commendation. And when more money is wanted another loan must and probably will be approved.
 This turn in the affairs of the canal again calls attention to the relations of this country to it. The New York Sun sets forth the sit- nation in this respect follows: For the upshot of the new relation of the State to what originally was 8 private corporation being the assumption of moral accounts DlIlIy 10 FTeuCu clIlZSuS LOT the payment OI sum equal to one-half the huge indemnity imposed by Germany, for governments will find themselves pressed on the one hand to make good any deficit in the earnings of the canal company, and on the other to secure it's property against encroachments by the United States of Colombia or any other for eign power. It seems from the latter point of view that the virtual endorsement of canal bonds by the chamber of deputies seems i'm portant to Americans. For France will be almost irresistibly impelled to seek degree 1 of control over the Isthmus of Panama which 1 would be counter to our national interests and our treaty rights. Nor should we over- 1 look the possibility that the Bogota govern 1 ment might, in violation of it's obligations to us, be prevailed upon to cede to France a measure of ascendancy on the isthmus which would be practically tantamount to sover- eighty.
