neathen Gods in Her Ears.

A physician of my acquaintance was
called in recently to see an old lady who
resides in her own house in the Third
ward 1t was his first call, and he had
never seen the lady before. She lay on a
couch, neatly attired, with her gray hair
in a cluster Of small curls at each side of
her head.

She extended toward the doctor a small
leaden statue of Napoleon, such as used
to be sold on the streets years ago in a
little glass bottle.
"You drew this from your ear?' asked
the doctor.

found it perfectly natural. He didn't

A VERY PROPER PROCEEDING.

"0ld Peter Mueller was arresetd ves-
terday and locked up at the Twelfth
Street Station for violating one of the
State laws."- Chicago Tribune.
There is nothing strange in the fact that
a man should be arrested and locked up
in big city like Chicago. Such a thing
is daily occurrence; but certain cir
cumstances connected with this case
make it somewhat exceptional, if not
sensational. In the first place the offence
was cruelty to an animal-to one of the
noblest species, a horse. Though the
best of all that render service to mankind,
no other animal is SO cruelty treated by
some beings in human shape. Ill-treat-
ment of this noble brute is not an un-
known fact even in Johnstown; but we
regret to say arrests for the unjustlfable
offense are like angels visits, few and far
between.
The man guilty of the offense in Chi.
cago was not poor man dependent on
his daily labor for livelihood, and with
Insufficient means TO buy horse feed
bun OF, the contrary, is rated as million
aire, owning hundreds of thousands
worth of property. He is too miserly to
provide for his horse-feeding him on
offals such as cabbage stalks, potatoe and
apple peelings. The poor old horse he was
driving through the street is thus
described He was well on his way to
starvation His backbone climbed up
and down like mountain road, and his
ribs were as prominent as sign-posts.
The bones of his shoulders and hips had
forced themselves through the skin, and
the wounds had been terribly CALLED by
broken pieces of old harness while the
hairs in the main and tail werv matted to-
gether by burdock burrs.
And yet the owner, the rich old cuss,
made a terrible ado about the arrest,
claiming the horse was his and he had
the right to use him as he pleased. He
threatened vengence against the mer-
chant who made the information, and
against the officers who arrested and fined
him. But all the same, he suffered the
extreme penalty of the law.

DIsAPpEARANcE OF YOUNG LADIES.


For the past ten days Washington City
papers, the Washington Post especially,
have had from one to two columns of ar
ticles on the disappearance OF young
Miss Brown. The father and other mem
bers of the family, with the aid of her
Mayor and the entire detective force,
have searched the surrounding swamps
and dragged the Potomac River upon the
theory of suicide. Though seen at vari-
ous places in til. city on the day of the
disappearance, no satisfactory clew has as
yet been discovered. Inasmuch as the
family claim she is nice, prudent, mod.
est young lady of eighteen, with no gen
temen callers, they scout the idea OF
elopement; and, as she was so good and
obedient to parental authority, they
grow indignant at the thought of an es-
capade Of any kind. On the contrary,
however, the police think she has run off,
and possibly may be found in New York
in some place where she ought not to be.
Ii is difficult to tell what human nature
at times, whether il be in the form of
youth or old age; whether masculine or
feminine, is up to. Only last week a
young. lady Of good family mysterously
disappeared from New Jersey
town. Diligcnt search failed TO re.
veal her whereabouts, and just
us the family hnd settled down to the sui,
eide theory, the young lady made her APP
p4arance, telling thrilling story of out
rage and robbery. In her mnoceut way
she said she had been robbed of the $50 90
entrusted to her by Ler father for the
payment Of a certain debt, drugged and
left in dying condition. Part OF her
clothing was gone, and all in all she pre-
sented pitiable sight. But II day OF
two afterwards certain facts leaked out
that led her to confess that she had gone
to New York, spent all the money
pawned part Of her WARDROBE, and hid
sone of the things in certain sewer,
where they were subsequently found.
Instead of being a good, modest, limo.
cent young lady as claimed by her family,
she has proved herself up to doing very
wicked things, and liar of no mean
magnitude.
So on the whole, we will wait little
while before subscribing to the Miss
Brown suicidal theory.

A strange natural phenomenon is the
pampero, a South American storm wind,
which is described by the author of
''Hearts of Oak" who first made its &C.
quaintance during a stay at Montevideo.
A light breeze had been blowing from
the northeast. but had steadily increased
in force, and brought with it the heated
air of the tropics, which, passing over
treeless pampa country, exposed to the
burning sun rays of clear sky, so
warns up the atmosphere on the shores
Of the Rio de la Plata that its effect upon
human beings is exceedingly bad
This state of things generally lasts for
a week, or longer, until the sitting heat
becomes unbearable and the inhabitants
are seen resting in grass hammocks OF
lying on bare floors, incapable of exer
ton. However. relief is close at hand
A little cloud mo bigger than mans
hand" is first seen to rise above the
water, then the heavens grow black with
clouds. and the battle of opposing winds
begins
The pampero advances with its artil-
ery well in front; forked flashes of vivid
lightning, followed by peals of thunder,
bear down upon the foe, who, quite up
to the moment of attack, is fiercely dis.
charging IFS fiery breath on thesurround-
ing regions The Inhabitants now climb
on the azoteas, or fiat roofs, to- watch the
struggle and to. .be the first to participate
in the delicious relief brought by the
pampero to their fevered bodies.
Far out on the river a curious sight
may be seen; the opposing waves. raised
b. the rival winds, meet like II rush Of
cavalry In wild career; their white horses
with foaming crests dash themselves
against each other and send clouds of
dazzling spray high in the air; this being
backed by an inky sky renders the scene
most imposing
Gradually the northeaster gives way
followed closely by its enemy, the pam
pero, which throws out sklrmishing cur
rents of ice cold wind in advance of its
final onslaught. Then comes the roar Of
the elements, and deluge such as no
one would willingly encounter, and
cooler weather is established for the time
being.

Shot On Iii. Companion, Gun Barrel.

N. c., six years ago, with S. S. Harris
and James Play, of that town. Harris
and myself were walking side by side,
when two birds were flushed at the same
time Harris was on my left and fired
at the bird on my right, | firing at the
one on his left. Thus cross firing, both
fired simultaneously.
Harris killed his bird. but / did not.
Harris said my powder was not good.
We walked on about thirty PAGES, when
Harris lowered his gun to extract the
empty shell. Suddenly he exclaimed:
"Look! the ends of my gun barrels
have bursted off.
We examined them and found they
were not bursted, but had shot them
off as smoothly as if they had been corn
stalks when we cross fired.
We walked back to the spot and found
five inches of his gun barrels lying there.

"Why, Peking, of course. 1t is often
spelled Pekin in the United States, but
nowhere else. In olden times China
had two capitals, Marking and Peking.
Ing is the Chinese word denoting capi-
tai. To distinguish between the two
places the northern capital was called
Marking and the southern one Peking.

OUR COUNTY TICKET.

We have heretofore endeavored to i'm
press upon the Democracy OF Cambria
county the Importance of turning out at
the approaching election and giving an
earnest support to the ticket. To-day we
relterate our call upon the Democracy
and emphasize that call with a plea for
our county ticket, which is thoroughly
good one. 1t is composed of active party
workers, and deserves the support Of
every Democrat, and we believe it will
receive it, There are always many in.
fluences, frequently trifting in their char
acter, which contribute to keep Democrats
away from the polls on election day. The
idea often suggests itself to the voter that
the ticket is sure to be elected anyhow,
and that if they do not go to the polls
their absence will not be missed, thus at
taching but slight Importance to their
individual vote. In the life of a soldier
duty leads to the field when the bugle
sounds and the drums beat SO it should
be in the life of the party man, and when
election comes and the party trumpets
sound the battle cry every man should
obey its call and rally to the support of
his ticket. No voter should remain away
from the conflict. His duty to his party
and the interests he feels in the success
of his principles should draw him like the
needle to the pole. The Democracy of
Cambria county cannot afford to lose
single vote.

An amusing hoax appears to have
been perpetratcd upon the foreign press
in the shape of letter alleged to have
been written by the present czar prior to
his ascension to the throne, to the famous
editor and panslavist leader, AksakoH.
whose widow died few weeks ago
The document in question. which bears
the date OF May 90. 1866, contains bitter
comments on the class Of courtiers by
whom the imperial family was sur
rounded, and compares the highest Of
ficers of state to contemplate lackeys.
The publication of the letter in question
has excited an immense amount of atten-
tion throughout Europe, and ii appears
to have been copied in almost every
foreign newspaper of any Importance.
The whole thing is, however, but hoax.
The letter in question, instead of having
been written by the present emperor,
was addressed in 1886 to Count Kotchou-
hey by the Grand Duke Alexander Paul
witch, who subsequently, assembled the
throne as Alexander | The coariiers
referred to in such bitter terms were the
ignoble favorites of his grandmother,
Catherine H. The original letter will
be found in the first volume Of the Life

AS from the o,,tward world you pass
Just where tap forest shirts the plain
An open book lies on the Rrass,
And there for years untouched has lain.
The leaves are yellow nov with age
But one may read in letters free,
As the wind turns the ragged page.
The blotted dname-PhiloSophy.
sTis said a student one day stood
Outside the bounds, when on him fell
The mystic power Of that wood,
And Love cast over him spell
Then long he strove TO enter there;
But guardian spirits in array
Prevented him, until despair
And made him throw the book away,
Had then, when he at length had cast
The stern Philosophy aside
Love bade him enter, held him fast
As conqueror Of Self and Pride
And now in dim, enchanted hooks,
Ruled by Love that never fails,
He seeks no sympathy OF books
Love whispers TO him fairy tales
Outside, swept by the wind and rain.
Philosophy, uucsred for, lies;
II cannot enter Loves domain;
1t was not meant for Paradise

The Lirhts In the Window.

A pair of worthless that used to prao-
tice before the Washington bar were en-
gagged in giving 'straw" bail and in
other ways securing the release of pris-
oners for a small consideration. They
rented room which formerly had been
a drug store, not far from the police
court, and kept light burning there all
night for the benefit of "late arrests"
who might wish to obtain bail rather
than spend the night in the police sta
tion. The druggist who had occupied
the place before them had failed to re-
move the blue and yellow bottles from
the window. One night two lawyers
passing up the street saw the light.
"Whose place is this?" asked one Of
them.
"Smith & Jones; felonies compounded
at all hours of the night" was the reply.

Fortitude Born of Love.

1t was in the year 1880, in third rate
city called Neufchateau, in the depart
ment des Vosges, France, about noon,
that we were passing, my father and
myself, in front of store where in ad-
dition to hardware a supply Of ammuni-
ton was kept for the use Of regiment
there Suddenly we heard a terrible ex-
plosion, and being either thrown or hay.
ing unconsciously ran, know not
which. we at any rate found ourselves
about twenty yards from where the ex-
plosion occurred, and could see part OF
the roof in the street.
We had hardly reached the building
when u man came out of it covered with
powder, his hair and beard burning, and
large pieces Of flesh hanging from his
face and bare arms. Never will forget
the horror of the sight; his flesh was
charred and his clothes partly burned
AS he reached the sidewalk he looked
around and called name | did not
catch. Receiving no answer he went
right back into that burning furnace,
and in a few seconds came out bearing
in his arms his child, girl of 6 or T.
Those nearer to him heard him say:
My darling, are you hurt? Oh, you
are hurt!" While the poor little thing
kept saying: mo, papa, am not hurt,
not at all; you are burning, think of
yourself, and yet the blood was trickling
from her forehead where the flying
debris made a deep cash. Both re-

The Sea and Progress.

From the Chicago News: Expert
physical gcog!aphers have claimed that
there is a close connection between the
relative extent Of coast line and c|ivillza.
ton. They have found that commerce
and good harbors go together and that
laws, learning and literature follow in
their train. There are many facts which
may be m~arshalled to support this theory,
AND yet there is nowhere that civilization
and progress have proved themselves
such arrant failures as on the sea and on
scaboard. The history of the last three
days vindicates the statement.
Fifty vessels are known to have been
wrecked in the recent storm, and the loss
OF life is almost beyond belief. All along
the Atlantic coast, from Hatteras 10
Fundy, the wreckage of ships and mer
is today coming ashore to Dear mute ties
timony to u failure. The ocean has
foled our art. 1t is as dangerous today
as it was when Paul was wrecked on
Malta. It defes as, and in its solemn
ebb and flow it is beyond us and
ABOVE us.
We have bridled all the elements and
made the earth our storehouse. We have
electricity, magnetism, steam and gravity
for our servants, but the sea eludes us.
We cannot master it nor foretell it. we
trust ourselves blindly to it when we
must, and escape from it thankfully
when we may.
Il is the last realm ef romance left in
the world. We put up our little futile
safeguards about its edge-lights that
reach out a mile or two, and lifeboats
that can reach across the breakers; but
these are nothing. A storm comes, like
that of Sunday, and all we can do is to
wait and count the dead that are cast
upon the shore when the waves are
through with them. The sea is a
standing rebuke TO our Aryan ecotism,
and until we conquer it our work will
not be done.
