A Very Fortunate Lord.

Lord Northampton is a vastly FORUM
ate parsonage. In 1873 his eldest son,
the late Lord Compton, borrowed e10.-
900 from the National Life Assurance
society on the security Of his reversion-
airy interest in an entailed estate. but If
he died before MS father (as happened)
of course the security was worthless.
The society proceeded to insure Lord
Comptons life for G34, 600, the under
standing being that it was to pay the
premiums and add them to the amount
of the loan, and the policy was to be
transferred TO him if ever he paid off the
debt He died three years ago, by which
time his debt TO the society had risen to
e14,000 The society therefore congrat-
ulated itself upon having made a profit
of nearly 100000; but, 10 and behold,
Lord Northampton as executor Of his
deceased son demanded the balance Of
ga, 900, and in spite of the agreement
between the society and Lord Compton
his claim has been sustained by the court
of appeal. The result is highly satisfac-
tory for Lord Northampton. who gets
nearly 600, 900 from fund which neither
he nor his son nor any of his family
paid penny to create.-London Truth.

Evil Island Antfcosti.

The island of Anticosti has always
held an evil reputation to mariners lying
close to the course of navigation to the
mouth Of the st. Lawrence. It's long,
low shores were the scene of many disas-
trous wrecks, and thesufferings of sailors
who succeeded in gaining the land were
grievous and terrible from the absence
of water and means of subsistence. Since
it has been properly lighted its dangers
have been greatly diminished; but from
the fact of its desolate and lonely posi-
ton and its absence of population the
island has long been the resort of char
acters who have found there a refuge
from justice.
1t is evident that of late years this
criminal population must have been
largely increased, for we now hear that
the wreck of the Idaho has been taken
possession of by gang of pirates, up
ward of 100 strong, who have set at de-
fance the Canadian cruiser Wakeham,
and that it had been necessary to send
her majesty's steamship Comus from
Halifax to cope with them. 1t may be
hoped that her operations will result in
the complete breaking up of this gang of
desperadoes, who constitute a serious
danger to the crews of vessels that may
be cast upon the coast.-London Stand

stone wall parallel with their course sep
arated the two battalons, and across their
| pathway was the Fifteenth Alabama, regi-
ment, another Confederate command, that
| faced about and wheeled out of line to re-

what he had in his front, and caught
/ sight of the re-enforcements given to
him by the First battalion, he lifted
! his sword On high as he rode,
and by this silent yet magnetic
signal ordered grand charge to cut the
way out. 1t was the boldest AID most des-
perate deed to be conceived of. There were
no more than fifty men in the two parties.
! Both battalions had lost heavily in the
ride. and detachments from each had gone
! their own way TO safety. The Fifteenth
! Alabama was disputing their advance; the
Fourth Alabama was behind them, and
along their left, between them and their
| friends on Big Round Top, were half dozen
Confederate commands ready in line. The
Vermonters rushed upon the Alabamians
savagely. The latter held their fire and
called to the riders to surrender. The re-
spouse would be a sabcr stroke followed
by an answering bullet. Capt. Parsons,
whose story of this fight is the fullest &C
count ever printed, was shot from his
horse, with the rife muzZle held at his
! breast and while he was trying to saber
the man who held it.
Farnsworth kept the lead in this bloody
race with fate, and with half a dozen men
was hewing his way toward the Union
lines when he fell exhausted from the loss
of blood from five wounds With the ruling
passion raging high, and his saber raised as

The most famous bull fighter in Spain
has just retired from his profession. His
name Is FrascCelo, and he is as rich as a

nineteen times has he been wounded

contrived TO pull through. All the time
he lay sick at his house in Madrid the no
bility and grapdees sent thrice a dav to
learn of his condition. His farewell ben

people. Twenty dollars was the price

A Feline Clock.

Every one knows that cats can see IN
the dark. and tae reason they can do SO
is because Of tie peculiar construction
Of their eyes. You may have noticed
that in a moderate light the pupil or
black part Of pussy's eye Is small and CT
G9 oval shape, while In a full glare OF
light it becomes narrow. Now in the
dark it expands to circle and nearly
fills the surface of the eyebalL This Pc
culiarity of the cats eyes is turned to
account in a curious manner by the
Chinese.
The Able Hue relates that when he
was travelling in China he asked his at
tendant what time it was. The man
went over to a cat that was quietly bask-
ing in the sun, and examining its eyes
told the able that it was about two hours
after noon, and on being questioned how
he knew that he explained that the pu-
pills of cats eyes were largest In the
morning, and that they gradually grew
smaller as the light increased tip they
reached their minimum at noon; that
then they began to widen again, till at
night they once more became large.
The good able was filed with admira-
ton for the ingenuity of people who
could use cats as clocks. But it must be
admitted that this way of telling the
time of day is rather a loose one, and
could only be trusted in very, very clear
and serene weather, for temporary gloom
or the darkness of a storm would sadly
derange your four footed clock and put
it all wrong.-Exchange

5000 infantrymen on their own ground.
Farnsworth gave the order coolly to tho
devoted men, Of whom be had just re-
marked 70 his chief that they were ''ton
good to kill" The battaIions passed out in
separate lines, in order to pass around tho
hill in front By opposite paths meeting on
the other side. The leader rode with tho
Third battalion, which passed to the right
of the hill The Second battalion had
a road and cleared fields to pass over,
but their movement was the moro
exposed, and a Confederate regiment
in front Of Big Round Top, the Fourth
Alabama, was faced about to meet them.
Taking a position on a hill the Ala
baInians found the VerEonters riding up
the slope, and in their haste to do some
thing fred volley over the heads of the
horsemen, who were but few PAGES away.
In making this movement the Fourth Ala
bama had marched to the rear of its bri-
gade line about three hundred yards, the
intervening space being wooded slope.
When the Second battalion of Vermonters
had passed the Alabafnians they halted
and reformed at the base of hill which it
was the object of the charge to carry, and
which if carried and held would take the
entire right Of the Confederate line in re-
verse. Toward this point the First battal-
son, led by Farnsworth, was now riding.
Their route led along a valley, on one
side of which, at the base of the hill,
was a stone wall, and Oh the other side
several Confederate regiments. Far ahead,
and on aprolongation Of the line CT the stone
wall, was the Fourth Alabama. Farms
worth charged along the stone wall in the
face Of the enemy, and under sharp fire
at close quarters. The ground was COW
cred with rock and INSTRUCTED with trees.
Pressing on toward DEVILS Den, where an
other Confederate brigade awaited them,
the troopers divided into sman parties, on
the principle of save himself who can"
They were now for within the enemy's
lines, and troops all along their pathway
had been aroused by the bold dash Near

them a volley. Farnsworth's horse fell,
and he mounted that of a trooper, and
with about a score or less of followers he
turned on the back track
When he reached the hill near where the
Fourth Alabama and the First battalion
of Vermonters had met in encounter, the
latter were mounting the slope toward the
track taken by Farnsworth on going in,
