It was nearly night. when suddenly We
heard the same uproar in the direction
of the landing, and the teams soon came
in. Where is Andrew?" asked Kirk.
@The blamed fool wouldn't come" an.
swered Bill, one of the men. He has
got pen all rugged out with long stakes
sharpened at the ends, and he's settin'
inside Is calm es if he was going to eat
his supper"
And here is twenty men agoing to
see him eat up for that creatures sup
per before they will stir to help him,
shouted Kirk Indignantly. Come, if
you are men and not towards, follow
me-"
We started with axes and crept eau
tiously through the bushes. What a
sight met our eyes. In the midst of q
mass of broken stakes lay panther,
still quivering, though quite dead, i'm
paled upon two of the sharpest stakes,
his round head battered to q jelly,
while Andrew stood near reviewing him,
and binding or trying to bind a deer
cash in his shoulder.
We'll, Andrew, you have done it,
shouted Kirk, rushing to help him.
@YawT answered the Swede, me feex

The brute measured seven and half
feet. Andrew was hero in more than
one camp that year. - Philadelphia

Edward Irving's VagarieS.

A statement made on the authority
Of the late Archdeacon Philpot, that
on one occasion Edward Irving at
tempted by prayer to bring his dead
child to life. has been stigmatized by
the Irvingites as an attempt to cast a
slur upon the character of great and
good man. But the circumstantial evil
dence of Mr.. J. Rate in a letter to last
weeks Record is conclusive. Some
sixty years ago Mr.. Rate was acquainted
with two brothers of the name of
Douglas, booksellers, and predecessors
of the present firm of Burns & Oates
"Of the two brothers, the younger was q
follower of Irving. He died of con-
sumption, but was fully convinced,
almost till the very hour of his decease,
that he should live to see the Lords
personal advent. After his death Mr..
Irving and some of his prophets came
to the house and attempted to. raise him
from the dead. This was told me at
the time by the elder brother. He said
to me that he felt deeply panied at the
conduct of Mr.. Irving and his friends;
for they laid to his charge the failure of
their attempt to raise his brother from
the dead. The cause they said was his
(the elder Douglas's) want of faith. -

Marriage Brokers OF Genoa.

In o letter written from Italy by
Dickens to the poet Rogers, which APP
pears in the biography of the poet, oc-
ours the following graphic description
of the marriage brokers of Genoa:
Do you know of the marriage brokers
among the Genoese? Sometimes they
are old wOmen-Iueer old women who
are always presenting themselves mys-
teriously at unexpected times like their
sisterhood in the Arabian Nights. But
there are men brokers; shrewd, hard.
Thoroughbred men of business. They
keep formal registers of manageable
young ladies and manageable young
gentlemen; and when they find very
good match on their books--or rather
when one of these gentry does-he goes
to the father of the young lady and
says:
"Signor, You have daughter to dis.
pose OFF"
Il have" says the father.
And you will give her $4,000
francs" says the broker.
"On fair terms" replies the father
~Signore," replies the broker, Il
know q gentleman with $4,000 francs,
embarked in business, who will take
SO, 900 francs and the clothes"
Clothes to what value" asks the
father.
Clothes to the value of 500 francs,
and gold watch, says thebroker.
His terms are too high; my daugh-
ter hasn't got gold watch says the
father.
But, signore, she has cast in the
eye," says the broker; "and a cast in
the eye is cheap at gold watch"
Say clothes worth $50 francs and a
silver bracelet, retorts the father. Il
admit the cast in the eye, and will
throw in the silver bracelet, though it
is too much"
I'VE couldn't do it signore, under a
gold watch" says the broker. 1.-The
young gentleman might have done bet
ter in his last negotiation, but he stood
for watch. Besides, signore, as a
fair-dealing man, you must make an
allowance for the ankles, which, says
the broker. referring to the books, ARE
thick, If l did rigid justice to my. en-
ployer, signore, and hand't personal
regard for you, 1 should require at
least 150, 900 francs for each leg"
On such terms the bargain is dis
cussed, and the balance struck, and the
young people don't see each other un.
til all is settled.

Saving a Life.

An old soldier, Lieutenant during
the civil war, was walking down the
street of town, when he was accosted
by fellow, half soldier, half beggar,
who made him a most reverential
salute.
God bless your honor.' said the
man, whose speech betrayed him for an
Irishman; God bless you, and long
life to you'll"
"How do you know me?' said the
lieutenant.
is it how do I know you, your
honor?" responded Pat. Good right,
sure, have to know the man who saved
my life in battle"
The lieutenant, gratified at this trib-
ute to his valor, slipped fifty-cent
piece into the fellows hand, and asked
him when.
God bless your honor, and long life
to you!" said the now doubly grateful
veteran. "Sure, an it was at Antietam,
when, seeing your honor run away as
fast as your legs would carry you from
the rebels, I followed your lead, and
ran after you ont of the way; whereby,
under God,'I saved my life. Oh, good
luck to your honor! 1 will never for
ret Won"

Fortunes FavOrites.

Galveston CTex.) News, Aug. 81.
CoRsIcANA, Tex. August "a, 1Ssa.-Corsi-
cana boasts to-day of two of the happiest
men in Texas, in the persons of Messrs.
John W. O'Neal and o. p. Wimber.y, the
lucky men who drew $1,000 each in the
louisiana State Lottery drawing of the 18th
instant. Each gentleman paid 81 for the
one-twentieth of ticket No. 1885, which
proved to be the number which drew the
capital prize of 100000. Your correspond
ent first sought Mr.. O'Neal at his restaurant
and asked to see the ticket. "Uncle John,"
as he is familiarly called, was slow to real
ize his luck, but after depositing his ticket
with the First National Bank for collection
and getting a receipt for the same he said
he began to feel like a ''bloated bond
holder"
Mr.. o. P. Wimberly, who kept snail
butcher-shop here, offered to dispose of h S
ticket for ''two-bits'' when he heard that
O'Neal had drawn the capital prize, but no
one would buy it. Imagine his surprise
when he found that he also held the lucky
number. He also deposited his ticket with
the First National Bank for collection.
The tickets were promptly forwarded to
New Orleans, the $4,000 collected and
placed to the credit of the happy men, less
the usual rate of exchange.

Two UNIQUE Landladies.

A friend of mine has been hunting
apartments lately, says bright London
correspondent, and he is overlooking
with stories concerning the rules and
regulations of these Temperance hotels.
called with him at one of them, and
after having inspected some sepulchral
apartments on the fourth floor We were
confronted by the stony-faced landlady.
81 don't think your rooms will suit
me, said my friend.
Here is the tariff and rules. Read
the testimonials in the back" replied
the landlady.
We glanced over the folder, and,
finding the prices by no means cheap
and extras abundant, we prepared
to 60.
and the gas is turned off at 12:15," said
the landlady, planting herself in front
of the door so that we could not escape
Suppose should have friend call
ing who happened to overstay the
hour?" queried my friend.

was the answer, land We allow no ales,
wines, or liquors of any kind in the
house."
"Not even if am sick and require q
drop of brandy?"
''Ginger is better than brandy for
Sickness" responded the remarkable
woman, and then launched into a dis
sertation upon the evils of taking spir-
its for medicine. She did not even be-
ieve in external rubbing with alcohol,
she informed us. The harangue was
getting tiresome, and my friend at
tempted to cut it short by saying pleas
antlv:
81 have no doubt that you use every
effort for the well being and comfort of
your guests, but, as said before, I
don't think the rooms suit me-"
eff you want the comforts of home
you can get them here, but if you want
bar you will have to go elsewhere"
snapped the apostle of temperance.
And We escaped.
One other funny experience We had
that afternoon was in large, handsome
house which displayed the familiar
sign, furnished Apartments" over the
door.
Our knock was answered by a neat
house-maid, and capital example of
the type of British matron made her
appearance. She smoothed her silk
gown gave twist to her cap ribbons
and greeted us pleasantly.
"You have apartments to let?' said
my friend inquiringly. Her face under
went a change.
Eyes" she answered shortly. "But
We don't take in Americans"
After some little conversation she was
pleasant enough in her explanations of
her reasons. and foremost among which
we're the facts that American sightseers
are irregular in taking their meals and
do not like to give the customary
weeks notice upon leaving. She was
good natured but firm in her decision.
But she stands almost alone in her po-
sition. Most London lodging house
keepers and tradesmen have no COM
Functions against taking in" Ameri-
cans to an unlimited extent.

So Was the Silver.

Yesterday afternoon she was sitting
with her back to the window cleaning
the family silver, and singing with her
voice away up to a concert pitch,
there's Land That is Fairer Than
Day." when suddenly a rich baritone
voice at the window took up the refrain
In the Sweet By-and-By," and con-
tinued to carry the air with her. She
wasn't going to sing with strange
choir. in that fashion, and she turned to
see who the accompanies was. There
stood a nice-looking, strange young
man.
Excuse me, Miss" he said, but YOU
do sing so beautifully 1 could not Eelp
stopping to listen. You are a profes-
sional musician, presume, Miss?
"Oh, no" simpered the girl; Il only
sing to amuse myself"
is it possible? Night trouble you
for dunk Of water, Miss:'
~No trouble at all, !" said the girl, and
she went to the pantry for a glass and
then to the ice-tank in the next room
for the water.
When she returned the singer was
gone. So was the basket of family sill.
