Tried to Make 1t All Right.

The other day the passengers on q
Cass avenue car were startled by the
striking of a clock which a woman was
carrying home in a basket, says the De-
troit Free Press. Several smiles had be
gun to show on several faces, when a
man rose up and said:
"FeIlow citizens, this woman - the
owner of the clocks naturally embar-
raised over It's incident. know just
how she feels, and I, for one sympathize
with her"
He sat down and the clock began
again and struck five times. He got up
again to say:
s'While this incident may appear
laughable to some of you, it is a very
solemn occasion to the woman. We are
eny of us liable to take home a clock.
That clock is liable to strike on us. 1
hope none of us will forget that we are
ladies and gentlemen
He sat down, and the blushing wO-
man moved the clock as she fidgeted
about, It then revengel on her by
striking fourteen times.
Greatly, ladies and gentlemen" said
the man as he bobbed up for the third
time, 'this woman wonld give $40 note

A Voyage to Alaska.

H. G. Hutchins IS an elderly and jolly
Bostonian who stopped in this city a
few hours on his return from Alaska.
He is delighted with the trip, which he
says occupies eighteen days in sailing
from Tacoma. az remained upon the
same vessel all the way around" said
Mr.. Hutchins. GA man who wants to
fish, hunt and rough it, might find it
pleasant at Sitka, but [ didn't want any
of it. The voyage is delightful. The
boat follows the shore outlines closely,
winding in and out of the islands some
times so closely that it almost touched
the banks. The water was perfectly
smooth, except occasionally in rounding
a headland. The scenery is very at
tractive, reminding one somewhat of the
islands of the St. Lawrence. In June,
July or August would recommend this
trip as a very interesting and unique
one. It is light nearly all the time in
Alaska now. We could read paper

Remarked His Former Wife.

A rather romantic case was developed
in the Probate Court yesterday by the
application of Benjamin Keller for Ii
cense to marry Barbara Behrin3er. In
1881 they were married. Very soon af-
terward he went West, gong as far as
the Pacific coast, to work as teamster.
He told his bride, whom he left here,
that he would soon be doing well and he
would send for her. She would hear
from him frequently, and they would
live in fond anticipation of the time
when they would be again united and
live together as happy husband and
wife.
Time passed, but no word came from
BENJAMIN to his wife. She sought for
his address, bat could not get any trace
of the truant husband. She mourned
for him, but he came not, neither did he
communicate with her. She finally be
came weary Of her position in life as n
wife in name only. She had lost faith
in mankind and their VOWS of consistency.
She sued for divorce, and last March
was granted a decree on the ground of
wilful absence and neglect. She was
also restored to her maiden name.
Her astonishment was great few days
ago when into her presence walked the
long lost Benjamin. He was equally as
tonished W zen he learned he no longer
had wife, as she had been divorced and
restored to her maiden name. They had
Il talk together, he explained his silence
to her satisfaction, though he would not
tell any one else, and they agreed to be
married again. Accordingly he got Ii
cense yesterday, and Barbara Behringer
again becomes Mrs Keller, Cincinnati

BY Els OWN BLOODHOUNDS.
~
Adventures of Man Who Tried to
Catch = Negro Thief

A few days ago a7negro stole pair Of
I ants from John Norwood, salesman for
the Morris Mining Company at Reading.
Tuesday he came back to the store to ex-
change the pants for another pair. Nor
wood recognized them as being the sto-
len goods, and attempted to hold the
negro and have hirS arrested. The thief
jumped from the store and made for the
woods. Norwood snatched up his revol-
yer aud gave chase, just outside of the
yard the store keeper fired
at the negro, but the latter promptly
returned the fire, and for q few minutes
a lively exchange of bullets took place.
Norwood then sought safety by run
ming into patch of pokeberry bushes.
the red berries burst on his S irt caus-
ing his clothing to look very red. When
he discovered the berry stains, thinking
that he had been shot and that the stain
was the blood from his own
wounds he dropped his pistol and began
to yell ''Murder :" Murder at the
top of his voice. When several of his
friends came they explained to him that
he was not hurt and that it was only
pokeberry juice on his shirt and not
blood. Norwood became so enraged
then that he determined to catch the
negro mt almost any cost. He returned
to the store, and after securing three
bloodhounds started in pursuit
The dogs struck the trail, but after a
chase of nearly two hours the negro
backtracked himself, running nearly
one-eighth of mile over where he had
first gone, and crossed his tracks. For
some cause OF other the dogs were in
the rear of Mr.. Norwood. A few min
utes later they got on Norwood's track
and soon overlook him. The storekeeper
saw that he was about to be eaten by
his own dogs, so he ran for the nearest
tree. While climbing the tree for dear
life two OF the hounds came up and
seized him by the pants, which they
soon succeeded in tearing off their
wearer.
When Norwood reached the top of the
tree he was badly broken up and almost
naked. The bloodhounds stood at the
foot of the tree and bayed the prisoner
from five o'clock III the afternoon until
10 q. m. the following day, a duration of
seventeen hours, Norwood was found
by his friends f-e next day still in the
tree, with the dogs keeping him prisoner.
He was somewhat distigured, and had
little to say about the matter except that
he was heard to remark: ''Bloodhounds
will not do to rely on in every case, and
if | find those that kept me IN the tree
all night I'll kill the last one OF them"

4 Musical Genius.

Says the New Orleans Times
Thomas EImore is the name of n seven
year old Florida boy, now at Sewanee,
Tenn, where his parents have been
spending the summer, who is said to be
musical genius of the Josef Hoffman
order. Alta concert given n few even
ings since he is said to have astonished
his listeners by his performances on the
violin and piano. An account says OF
him: 'fHe is just seven years old, and,
owing to his long curls, which he will
not allow touched, seems even younger.
When he was four years old his father
found him reproducing on the piano the
airs he had heard some one play, and
from that time until little violin was
given him he played accomplishments,
&C., when called upon. To see the little
fellow tuck his violin under his chin,
close his eyes, and proceed to make his
instrument speak is wonderful sight.
He plays either first or second violin,
changing from one to the other in the
middle of bar. He sits on his father s
knee and does the lingering while his
father manages the bow, or vice versa
His playing is full of soul and expires
sion, and especially accurate as to both
time and touch. He is of an old South
Carolina family, and his concert was
given to crafty his friends simply.

An Economical Dinner.

This busy time Of the year do you not
often wish for an easy way of getting a
good dinner with little troubled Let me
tell you what L get for my father and
eight brothers when am crowded with
work, and [ assure you that it is deli
cious, economical and satisfying. Into
two quarts of -four put four teaspoonfuls
of baking powder, sift and add one tea
cupful of lard; wet with one and one
half pints of milk. Roll about one half
inch in thickness and with it line milk
pan. One and one-half hours before
you make the crust cut three or four
pounds of veal into small pieces, drop
into boiling water and cook till very ten
der. When your crust is ready to bake,
season your veal, first removing the large
bones, with salt, pepper and butter the
size of an egg; then thicken with flour
and milk. Fill your pan with the meat
and enough of the gravy to cover; add
an onion chopped fine. Invert a cup in
the pan and cover with the upper crust;
bake half an hour in bot oven and send
to table to be carved there and served
with the remaining gravy.
When well made this pie greatly re-
sembles that made from chicken. In
fact an old hotel-keeper once told me
that the so-called chicken pie OF eating
houses was in reality made of veal with
slight favoring of chicken, and it seems
very likely.
Now for the desert I usually make a
rice pudding from the simplest and best
recipe of which know. It is this: To
one cupful of well-washed rice add elev-
en- cupfuls of milk; salt, sugar and nut
meg to taste and raisins if you like; bake
in moderate oven TIL like custard, us
ually from two to three hours.

EdisOn's monograph in England.

The expectation that Mr.. Edison's
monograph would soon be rendered
cloud speaking capable, that is to
say, of communicating its message to
several hearers at once without the inter
vention of tubes extending from the
instrument to the ears-has already been
abundantly fulfilled. Colonel Gouraud
received a large party of visitors recently,
in order to exhibit to them the second
instrument which he has received from
America, and which, eing furnished
with a sort of speaking trumpet from
which its sounds issue, is distinctly
audible to large group of persons. It
was accompanied by a set of cylinders
carrying the traces of much talking, as
well as of much vocal aud instrumental
music, and all these, when they were put
into the machine, yielded up their re-
cord with truly marvellous fidelity. One
cylinder has been impressed with the
habitual noises of Mr.. Edison's work
shop, and the listeners were entertained
by Succession of sounds produced in
the first instance on an anvil, with sand
paper, by sounding telegraph, and in
various other ways too numerous to
mention, Another addressed the COM
pany in Mr.. Edison's name, and in his
voice; while a third yielded up a song
from Faust, and fourth "The Bare
footed Friar, - the traces upon all these
having been made in America. Mrs
Shaw, the lady who is widely known as
"La Belle Siffleuse," was among the
company, and, after she had whistled to
cylinder, t c monograph was made to
reproduce her notes with astonishing
accuracy, and, presumably in conse-
quence of the intense character of the
vibrations, much more loudly than those
of speech or song.-LondoD Times.
