Almost an Abduction.

An attempt was made at the
residence of j.. H. Lambert, near
Milwaukee, ON Friday, to abduct a
boy, the son of A. w. Lambert of
East Portland. After the supreme
court had awarded him the custody
of his boy the child was taken to
his grandfather's, where he now is.
On Friday some children were
sent to play with him, and they
tried to coax him away far enough
from the house to allow those in
waiting to kidnap him. The attempt
failed by the timely discovery of
the plot. There is no doubt but the
scheme was the invention of the
boys mother, from whom Mr.. Lam
bert was divorced not long since, as
she had the custody of the child be-
fore the supreme court in a recent
decision changed the decree, and is
naturally desirous of getting him
back again.

A Phlegmatic Englishman.

In one Of the wars on the conti-
nent of Europe, in the last century,
in which England and Spain were al
lied, Geo. Lakewood, an English
soldier, was taken prisoner by the
Dutch, in company with 23 Spaniards.
Prince Maurice, who was in command
of the Dutch, ordered that eight OF
the prisoners should be put TO death
in retaliation for like sentence pass
ed upon eight Dutch soldiers not long
before. 1t was ordered that IL should
be decided by lot upon which of the
prisoners the death penalty should
fall. When the Englishman's turn
came, he drew lot which told him
that his life was spared. lie said
nothing but stood by to see the rest
of the dreadful ordeal. Presently,
two or three fatal lots having been
drawn, Spaniard stepped out to put
his hand into the helmet and showed
a great reluctance TO do so. He drew
back once or twice and seemed to be
under a great mental strain. "Arc
you afraid?' asked an officer. "No, "
said the Spaniard, "but / fear il Is

crash successfully were the steel
shod, terrible heels launched, each
time reaching the mark with arrow
precision and bone crushing force.
And then the jungle monarch was
seen running whimperingly around
the skirts of the arena on three legs,
and with his jaw hopelessly broken
conquered, defeated, and with the
sole object of effecting skulking es-
cape from his victorious foe.
The rejah made the sign by which
his favorite was permitted to make
good his retreat, and then, with a
bow to Col. Mohun, turned to go

you please, to formally announce that
the victory is with Nadgka, and my
little friend here is to continue undis-
turbed under my guardianship"
The potentate did so, with none of
the best grace, it must be said, and
then took his, s,departure with as much
haste as was ssstent with his au-
gust dignity.
1t was none too soon.
The white stallion, which had un-
til that moment remained proudly in
the center of the pit, suddenly reared
himself high in the air, with flashing
eyes and floating name, and then fell
upon his side-dead.
"Poor Nadgka! - commented Maj
Poindexter. laying his hand on Mo-
huns shoulder, on which the little bo-
gum was now sobbing as if her heart
would break. "See, his entire left

Dog Days.

The fact that more dogs go mad in
the winter and spring months than
in August has long been recognized
by all intelligent persons except
town councils and lawmakers. Hy-
drophobia is an exceedingly rare dis
ease, and the fear of it a relic Of SUI
perstition. Probably nine-tenths of
the animals shot for hydrophobia are
suffering from some distemper or
some common disease brought on 10y
neglect or i'll treatment.
The use of the muzzle alone is said
to drive some animals frantic, and
chatting and irritating them as these
instruments do, and limiting their
freedom to drink water in the heat Of
summer, it were hardly a wonder
should madness result from their use.
Mr.. Parritt, keeper of the Home for
Lost Dogs in London, in an expert
ence of seventeen years, during which
he took care of 2OO,OO0 dogs Of all
varieties Of breed and in all condi-
tions, reports that he has never met
with a rabid dog. All dogs received
by him in this institution, which were
for observation, but no case OF ra-
bies developed, sick, or suspected Of
rabies, were locked up apart itself.
Some of the keepers in this institu-
tion have been bitten again and
again, with no severer results than
the wounds, and it if said they have
not the slightest fear Of hydrophobia.
Dogs are, indeed unusually healthy
animals, and if fed with fresh, clean
food, and given plenty of pure water
and exercise, with comfortable and
well-ventilated sleeping-place, they
will continue healthy, even though

The Prodiga1 Daughter.

To the home of his father returning
The Prodigal weary and worn.
Is greeted with joy and thanksgiving,
As when on his first natal morn;
A ssrobe'' and a ssring'' is his portion,
The servants as supplants bow,
He is clad in fine linen and purple,
In return for his penitent vow.
But, ah for the Prodigal Daughter,
Who has wandered away from her home
Her feet must still press the dark valley
And through the wild wilderness roam'
Alone on the bleak, barren mountains
The mountains so dreary and cold
No hand Is outstretched in fond pity
To welcome her back to the fold.
But thanks to the Shepherd, whose mercy
Still follows the sheep though they stray
The weakest, and e'en the forsaken,
He bears in his bosom alway;
And in the bright mansions of glory,
Which the blood of his sacrifice won,
There is room for the Prodigal Daughter
AS well as the Prodigal Son.

1t has been observed that Washing
ton seldom smiled and never laugh
ed. This, however, is not correct.
One instance is mentioned by gen.
tleman, well-known for his veracity,
with degree of sang froid. At the
time the troops were encamped at
Cambridge, information was received
at headquarters that the English were
about leaving Boston to give them
battle. All was hustle and confu-
sion. The soldiers were strolling
over the town, and the officers were
but i'll prepared for the approaching
recontre. Some of the generals were
calling for their horses, and others
for their arms and among the rest
was Gen. Greene, at the bottom of
the stairs, bawling to the barber for
his wig. "Bring my wig,you rascal
bring my wig" Gen. Lee diverted
himself and the rest of the company
at the expense of Greene. "Iour
wig is behind the looking-glass, sir. /"
At which Greene, raising his eyes,
perceived by the mirror, that the wig
was where it should be-on his head.
