A Remarkable Accident

Helena, Ark, Sept 10.-A most remark
able accident, which will probably result
fatally, occurred in this county q few
miles from here to-day. A man named
George White was shooting at a tree with
pistol. A little gire about y years old
was holding young baby in her arms at
a point as much as 20 feet out of the line
OF the pistols range. The mother of the
children coming up about that time, un-
dertook to take the baby out of the little
girls arms. About this time White fred
and struck the tree. The ball glanced and
struck the woman in the wrist, passed
through, and into and through the girls
hand into the abdomen of the child. II
was extracted, with slight hopes of the
child's recovery.

years ago "Sarah Henderson" was a
wee fodder, the pet and tyrant in a
highly favored family, and Nancy
Washington was the trusted and
pampered NANNY" whose especial
duty it was to guard the little girl
from harm. But the war stripped
master" Perry of his wealth and
scattered his slaves, and little by
little the family became broken and
separated. The daughter of the
Shareholder reduced to poverty, con-
tracted a marriage for which her
earlier training had not qualified her,
and in the end fell into sin. Mean
while, her old nanny had lost track
of her, and, being in the full eujoy.

Hit The Wrong Building.

"ASout fifteen years ago, when ]
was in the lightning rod business in
this state," said Detroit insurance
man, the other day, to q Free Press
man, as he slowly slipped his ginger
ale, "we got job on farmers big
barn in Nankin township. We had
had hard work to get him, as he was
an unbeliever in the virtue of the rod
but he finally consented, and We went
ahead, giving him the most solemn
assurance, of course, that his harm
would be protected beyond question.
We had just finished work when a
thunder storm was observed coming
up, and he remarked that it would
be good time to test the rods. We
put our team in the barn, but pre-
ferred the house for our shelter.
"Well the storm came along, and
as it reached us there was flash and
a bang, everybody got shock, and
when we came to look out the barn
was on fire in a dozen places. Be-
fore we could get the team and
wagon out it was too late and they
burned with the structure"
"How did you explain it to the
farmer ?" was asked.
"We didn't explain it at all. He
did all the explaining. He got down
a shotgun and explained that if we
didn't get beyond range before he
could count fifty he would open fire.
We got, and we never even went
back to claim the iron work of the
wagon"
Gould the rods have been value
less ?"
Certainly not"
''Then how did it happen p
81 think it was an error of judp-
ment on the part Of providence. l
think the idea was to strike the house
and kill me and my partner J"

During the French maneuvers a cap.
tain wishing to buy wine, by order OF
the general commanding, for distribu,
ton in his company, failed to obtain
such. Thereupon he requisitioned it
from a country gentleman, who, as he
was obliged to do, furnished the wine.
This gentleman afterward sent in his
bill to the government for the value of
the wine, as he was legally entitled to,
but instead of receiving his money,
t~hreerevenue officers calledon him and
took proceedings against him because
he had no right to sell wine.
By the law of the country the pro-
p%rietoris obliged TO part with his wine
when il is requisitioned. By the same
law he can claim the value from the
government as if sold, but by the same
law again he is punishable for selling
wine without a license. We also hope

The Growth of Trees.

In the parish of Winfarthing are
two magnificent oak trees, one of
which is known as the ''Winfarthing
oak" the other is little inferior to it in
magnitude, but appears to have been
generally passed over in favor of the
more celebrated tree first mentioned.
These trees were inspected by Robert
Marsham, +. r. s., the friend and cor
respondent of Gilbert White, and a
great agriculturist, in the year 1874
and he has left in his diary accurate
measurements of both.
The larger tree measured at that
time IS feet 7inches in circumference,
and the smaller just 80 feet. In the
year 1874, when these trees were
measured according TO Marsham's
method, the larger tree was just 40
feet in circumference, and the smaller
80 feet. 1t will thus be seer that one
tree had increased II inches in 100
years, whereas the other had remained
in statu quo.-London Standard.

The Parisians, though they are a

banks Of the Seine for hours, with a
hook and line, waiting for bites that

over the parapet, patiently watching
another who sat on the river embank-

IS the stranger came up, the man

and said, with a plying expression on
his face:

What They Eat In TImbuotoo.

The people of Timbuctoo live on the
whole very comfortably, in an eco
nomic sense, and DIR. LEM saw very
few signs OF poverty oil beggary among
them. They have three meals a day.
The first at 9 a. m, consists of small,
new baked wheaton loaves, ''of alto
gether excellent quality" pieces of
which, In eating, you successfully dip
into dishes of honey and fluid butter.
The main meal, at 3 p. m, is composed
of two, sometimes three courses, sup
piled by kuskus, vegetables, mutton or
beef, poultry and pigeon. Everything
is tastefully prepared.
But what are kuskusl They are
made of the Hour of wheat, barley,
maize or even negro millet. The
meal is moistened then, by a peculiar
movement of the palm and the fingers
1t is twirled off into small grains. 1t
u next dried in the sun. The kuskus
are not cooked, but steamed by being
put into an earthen pot riddled with
small holes at the bottom, which is
placed yer another filed with water,
resting IN the fire. Emptied into a
dish, the kuskus are strewn over with
saffron sauce; then flesh and vegeta-
bles are tastefully scattered over them,
and they are eaten with the fingers Of
the right hand-though it requires
some practice to carry them to the
mouth without dropping any.
Fish is relegated almost exclusively
to the negroes, and a person has sunk
very low who will eat any kind of
fish. The evening meal, between 9
and 10, consists generally of rice
mingled with small pieces of meat.
No spirituous liquors are drunk; the
solid food is washed down only with
water, taken from the calabashes-

ODE TO A BUTTERFLY.

Thou spark of life, that wavest wings of goldI
Thou songiess wRnderer mid the songful birdsl
With natures secrets in thy tints unroned
Through gorgeous cipher, past the reach Of
words,
Yet dear TO every child.
In glad pursuit beguiIed,
Living his unspoled days mid flowers and nocks
and herds
Thou winged blossom liberated thingl
What secret tie binds thee to other flowers
Still held within the gardens fosterinEl
VIII they too soar with the completed hours.
Take flight and be like thee
Irrevocably free,
lowering at will DER their parental bowent
Or Is thy luster drawn from heavenly hues,
A sumptuous drifting fragment OF the sky
Caught when the sunset its last glance imbues
With sudden splendor; and the tree tops high
Grasp that swift blazonry.
Then lend those tints TO thee
On thee to float a few short hours, and dief
Birds have their nests; they rear their eager young
And fit on errands all the hvelonE day;
Each heldmouse keeps the homestead whence 1t
sprung;
But thou art natures freeman-free to stray
Unfettered through the wood
Seeking thine airy food,
The sweetness sptced on every blossomed spray.
The garden one wide banquet spreads for thee,
oh, daintiest reveler of the joyous earth
One drop OF honey gives safety,
A second draught would drug thee past all mirth.
Thy feast no orgy shows,
Thy calm eyes never close,
Thou soberest sprite to which the sun gives
birth
And yet the soul OF man upon thy wings
Forever scars In aspiration; thou
his emblem Of the new career that springs
When deaths arrest bids all the spirit bow
He seeks his hope in thee
