Hartford Telegram.
There is a family residing on the
East side which owns dog, and quite
an intelligent dog at that. He is ever
causing them to wonder at his surpris-
ing and almost human knowledge. A
short time ago parrot was taking up
temporary residence with the family,
and the bird, like all others of that
genus, was very fond of crackers.
Previous to the advent of the bird
Nero could not be bribed to eat a
cracker, but no sooner did the bird ap-
pear than he developed wonderful
liking for the food. He could not seem
to get enough of them. After time,
however, the bird was carried away,
and from that time Mr.. Nero would not
look at a cracker.

Boston's Marriage Club.

Stevenson's Suicide Club, in which
that member who drew the ace OF
spades had forthwith to be put out
of the world by fellow-member,
produced its profoundest effect-as
all new ideas do-in the city Of
Boston, where similar club $50 /
am told) was promptly organized. |.
But in the Boston club, instead OF
being murdered, the unhappy draw
er of the fatal card was required to
offer himself in marriage within six
months after the drawing of the
lots. No restriction was placed
upon his choice of a lady, the only
obligation being that within the
appointed time he should, in good
faith, ask some woman to marry
him. The club in the meanwhile
was to be informed of the object of
his choice, and while one-half of its
members were to seek the lady out
and insidiously disparage her des-
perate suitor, the other were to leave
no stone unturned in their efforts
to persuade her of his shining vir-
tues. Whether or no the club still
exists / have been unable to ascer-
tain.-The Critic.

A Skull for q Water Pail.

There is a terrible story coming
from North Queensland about a
man who was lost in the bush. He
used up all his water and then drop
ped his "billy" in the agony of his
thirst. By and by, fortunately, he
came to water-hole where he slaked
his thirst and found the road again.
He had still some thirty miles to
go, however, and he had nothing
whatever to carry water in. Of
course it would have been madness
to attempt to travel thirty miles on
foot under North Queensland sun
without any water, so his ready in
vention came to his aid. He had
been Mortified a short distance back
by the skeleton of a man who had
evidently been dead several years.
He went back and got the skull,
plugged up the eye-holes with clay
and filled it with water. He then
tramped that thirty miles on the
water contained in the skull. Can
any novelist imagine a more CHASTITY
and frightful idea than this, for
which we can vouch.-Pall Mall

Remarkable Surgery.

There is one man in this city who
is a living example of how near a
human being may come to death
and be saved by modern surgical
skill. Lieutenant Charles A. Myers
was an officer in the late rebellion,
and at one of the naval battles was
in command of one of the guns on
board of the Monitor. A shot struck
the portfolio of the turret and filled
the interior with shower Of iron
and steel fragments. Myers was
knocked senseless and carried to the
sick room of the ironclad. When
examined by the surgeons it was
found that his skull, collar-bone,
one leg, both arms and five ribs
were fractured. Most of the sur
geons predicted his death within
twenty-four hours. A young physi-
clan of great ability and promise on
board took the sufferer in hand and
after a year of hard work brought
him back to health. Among the
many operations involved were the
transplanting of skin, the removal
of a rib and the taking away of a
large portion of the skull and its
replacement by a piece of ham
mered silver. The scalp has re-
grown over the plate, but still allows

His ValedictOry,

We admit that the thought had
gained place in our alleged mind
that we possessed the ability to edit
a paper, and had relentless fate been
less unkind might have succeeded
in bringing the public to participate
in the illusion, but we find that the
emoluments of the position are to-
tally inadequate to the support of
small but interesting family with
an appetite like a buzz saw, and
consequently are impelled to seek
means of livelihood that will JUS
tify the occasional expenditure of
quarter for some of the luxuries
of life. In view Of all these facts
and with the most pleasant social
relations with our late business as
sociates remaining unruptured, we
herewith tender our thanks for the
kindness of friends who have per-
mitted us to send them the paper
four months and charged us moth
ing for the privilege. We return
the editorial mileage tickets for
which we have paid in advertising
at the ,ate of 13 cents mile. We
bid farewell to the editorial prerog-
ative of working 36 hours day for
81 so week and the privilege OF
being cursed by one-half Of the COM
munity for the articles that have
been written to please the other
half. Wrapped in regret and a $40
overcoat for which we gave $35
worth of advertising, we turn our
back to the familiar "cases" and
forever eschew the deadly double
loaded editorial. With mingled
emotions of regret, relief and won
der how in thunder we ever had the
nerve to tackle the job of editing

our bow of adieu to its readers

Don't Read This Out Loud.

There is rather lively set Of
matrons and young girls in the staid
and settled City of Monuments,
who, since their eccentricities have
become historic, are known as the
"Brass Band" The matrons are
not all young. Some, indeed, are
in the sere and yellow leaf, and are
rivals of their own daughters. One
of these ancient bellies delights in
very decollete gowns and in dis
playing her withered charms to the
horror-stricken spectator. A society
man lately took this lady's daugh-
ter to account for some imprudence.
"But," she replied, "you know [
must keep up with mamma"
Every true" said the society man,

her, but you can't outstrip her."

CHANCES OF DEATH IN WAR.
At Solferino it Took an Average of
42OO Bullets to Kill Each Man.

No doubt many newspaper read
ers have seen the statement that it
takes mans weight in lead to kill
him in battle, and they may have
considered it to be merely rhetor-
ical hyperbole, suggested by the
fact that comparatively few out of
the whole number Of shots fired in
heat of battle take effect.
Marshal SAKE, says an exchange,
first made the assertion which forms
the base of the above, when he said
it would take 125 pounds of lead
and 33 pounds of powder to put
each of the enemy in the long
trench. Wild and visionary as this
may seem, it appears that there was
more truth than poetry in the re-
mark. With all the improvements
which have been made in the art of
war since the days of SAKE, Cas-
sendi, the French savant, proves
that the great marshaPs philosoph-
ical remark still holds good.
At the battle of Solferino, accord
ing to Cassendi's carefully deduced
calculations, a comparison of the
number of shots fired on the Aus
trian side with the number of killed
and wounded on the part of the
enemy, shows that 700 bullets were
expended for each man wounded,
and 4, 200 for each man killed. The
average weight of the ball used was
80 grains, therefore it must have
taken at least 1875 Kilograms or 227
pounds of lead, for each man killed.
Yet Solferino was most impor-
tant and bloody battle. In the
Franco-Prussian war the slaughter
caused by the needle gun among the
French soldiers shows how much
superior that gun is to the Aus
trian carbine; yet with that deadly
weapon 1900 shots were fired for
every soldier destroyed in the en-
emy's ranks. Verify there was good
foundation for Bogert's ungram-
matical remark: WAR is awful,
but the noise of war is awfuller.'
