LynchIng a Sparrow.

In a business building there was a
bird-box built under the caves, and in
the box was large colony of sparrows
One day they made so much more than
their usual noise that a passer-by
paused to note their movements He
saw confused scuffling, and then one
sparrow, with a string around his neck,
was pushed out of the box. The other
end OF the string was fastened inside,
so the unluclzy bird was soon strangled.
From the fact that the others had pre-
vionsly attacked the victim, the affair
looked like deliberate execution, al
though It is din cult to conceive how
the birds coG!d tie the string around
the culprit's neck The probability is
that the bird became accidentally en-
tangled while the others were trying
to eject him, and thev took advantage
of the accident-Golden Days.

THE PEACE OF EUROPE.
France Pressing Little Bulgaria and this
Peace of Europe Thereby Menaced.


LONDON, Dec. 19.-The rupture of
diplomatic relations between France
and Bulgaria on the pretext of the ex-
pulsion of the French journalist,
Cadourine, now proves to be the initial
step of French diplomatic scheme to
ask the sultan to use his suzerain right
to interfere in Bulgaria in Russia's in
terest. Advices were received at the
foreign office that NJ Cambon, the
French ambassador at Constantinople,
had demanded and would obtain a
formal conference on the subject with
the sultan.
This development is no surprise to
Lord Salisbury aud his diplomatic al
lies in Vienna and Berlin. NJ. CAM bon,
in an interview with the foreign min
lister of the porte on Wednesday last.
was understood to intimate that, as
France had never recognized Prince
Ferdinand, the government of France
must look for redress to the suZerain
before taking directly active measures.
As NJ. Ribot must know or expect
that the porte will decline to interfere
in a question conceruing the internal
administration of Bulgaria, anxiety
pivots on what the French government
will next do The Austrian govern
ment, proba bly, acting in concert with
Lord Salisbury and Chancellor Caprivi,
supports the Bulgarian bureau. Aus
tria's agent at Sofia has melted Premier
Stambuloff to address a note the gov
ernments of Turkey, Germany, Austria
and England vindicating the expulsion
of Cadourine. 1t is known all around
that NJ Ribot does not care a straw for
the expulsion of the expulsee.
The st. Petersburg weekly, the
Vedomosti, after suggesting that it is
possible that France, failing 10 obtain
may blockade Bulgarian
ports, says that Russia would protest
against the appearance of French IRON
clads before Varna or Bourgas. If NJ
Ribot's policy results thus the peace Of
Europe is over.

JOHN G. WHITTIER address TO the poet
He spoke of their coming to congratu-
late him as friends and citizens of his
native town, honored in being his birth
place. They extended their hearty
wishes for a continuance of his health
and length of days and expressed the
pleasure of the club in meeting him
The mem bers of the club individually
presented their greetings to Whittier.
The poet, warmly appreciative of the
kind remembrances, replied in few
words, thanking his friends.
The gift of flowers brought by the
Hayerhill club consisted of superb pink
roses, tied with broad pink ribbon,
upon each end of which was painting
in water colors done by a member OF
the club. On one end was picture of
the old house ut East Haverhill in
which Mr.. Whittier was born. The
other had an excellent representation
of the old schoolhouse which once
stood near by.

still with crossed hand and closed eyes.
That day Pete's tools lay untouched
on the leather bottomed bench in the
shoemaking shop, while the dead
woman lay in the narrow diving"
room back of the shop waiting to be
cared for.
Pete put Sonny's nav away in
humblest fashion. Then he quietly led
the child back into the shop, and shut
the door on the neighbors inquiring
eyes
When Sonny piped out with a little
quaver in his voice: Sonny ahnts
nuzzer dink, Sonny dooz" and then
looked around bewildered in the
silence for his mother. Pete reused
himself and said gently: "Yer maws

so daddy" did all that was done for
Sonny.
In the hot summer days Pete smiled
and pegged busily away at the boots
and shoes.
Sonny as busily sat swinging his
small bare feet in the open doorway of
the little shop, or playing with scraps
of red leather Innings.
Pete fashioned Sonny with some
clumsy little aprons, and laced them
mp the back, like his shoes, with bits
of leather strings
Among the neighbors there was a
Voluble widow. She it was who had
been most voluble and officiouS in of
fers of assistance to Pete when ''Son-
ney's NAV died"
But Pete Peculiar had told her gent
ly that he'd ruther do for Sonny's
nav himself"
The widow did not understand, so
he had remarked spitefully to neigh

New YORK, Dec. 19-Under orders

ington the special agents OF that de-
partment are examining all of the to-
bacco now in the bonded warehouses
of this city. There are $4,000 bales,
averaging $50 pounds each. Most OF
this tobacco has been imported as be-
ing cheap filing material, on which
duty of only thirty-tive cents a pound
must be paid, but the investigations
thus far made show that at least two
thirds of the tobacco is Of the finest

an envelope to Mrs. Elizabeth G. Porter,
in care of the Maurice Porter Memorial
hospital, Chicago, Ill
The letter ran as follows:

pital. You could have erected no more
lasting and useful monument to Maur-
ices memory than this hospital for

shoemaker, and Sonny, as the boy is
called, is very near to his heart
The little fellow met with an acci-
dent about two years ago. There has
resulted a complication of hip-ioint dis
ease with other troubles.
There will have to be an operation.
His father cannot give him the skillful
care he ought to have.
Can you take him into the hospitalf
If so, write me at once.
Your affectionate brother.
S. p. GILBERT, NJ. D.
A favorable answer came to the doc
tor.
So Sonny went to the hospital in care
of the kind doctor.
Pete stood on the platform and looked
after the receding train.
He had told the doctor in an anxious
whisper just before the train left that
"Sonny's NAV he'd alters lowed ter
give Sonny uh chance, an he wanted
Sonny ter hev uh chance sure"
The weeks passed by patient Pete as
he pegged on alone waiting to hear
about Sonny's chance.
There came a brave little scrawl
from Sonny.
Pete rubbed his glasses, drew the
light nearer, and began to slowly spell
out Sonny's words. They were these:

No man does anything well who does

blindness and not sight 1t is the stare

This Is the Opinion OF the English Press
Regarding Chill.
CALLAO, Peru, Dec 19.-The United
States cruiser Baltimore, which arrived
at this port on the evening of Decem-
Der 15 left for San Francisco Friday
morning. All on board were IN
reserved in their expression of IN
dignation over their treatment while
at Valparaiso and expressed the
hope that congress would sup
port President Harrison in his demand
for proper reparation and apology.
The tone of Minister Matta's dispatch
in reply to President Harrison's mes
sage is regarded with astoDishment
here and the probable course of the
United States government is dis
cussed in all public places along
the entire coast. The most con-
servative opinion of the English
press seems to be that the relations be-
tween Chilli and the United States aro
so strained that Chilli must retreat Or q
conflict is inevitable. The general i'm
preston is that Chilli intends 20 stand
by Minister Malta 1t is a well known
fact here that Chilians are trying to
enlist men for their fleet.
A dispatch from Valparaiso says the
New York Herald's editorial entitled
mo Occasion for War;" in reference to
the trouble, has been cabled to Chilli,
published in the leading papers and has
called for words of high praise from the
officials and public of Santiago and
Valparaiso Nothing will be mora
gratifying to the Chilian people than
the appointment of committee of the
United States congress to fully inyesti-
gate the relations between the two
countries and the question affecting

the blacl1ness Of night,
And cleft the pitchy dark in twin
With the gleam OF its herce headlight.
In a crowded car, noisome place,
Sat mother and her child;
The woman's face bore wants wan trace,
But the little one only smiled.
And tugged and pulled at her mothers dress
And her voice had merry ring.
AS she lisped: Now, mamma, come and guess
What Santa Claus IL bring"
But sadly the mother shook her head.

She pinned her stocking to the seat.
And closed her tired eyes,
And soon she saw each longedfor sweet
In dreamland's paradise.
On a seat behind the little maid
A rough man sat apart
But soft light Ger his features played,
And stole into his heat
AS the cars drew up at a busy town
The rough man left the train,
But scarce had from the steps jumped down
Ere he was back again.
And great big bundle Of Christmas joys
Bulged out from his pocket wide;
He filled the stocking with sweets, and toys
He laid by the dreamers side.

Though some from smiling may scarce re-

The child was surely right,
The good Saint Nicholas caught the train,
And came aboard that night.
For the saint is iOnd Of masquerade
And may fool the old and wise
And so he came to the little maid
In an emigrants disguise.
And lie dresses IN many ways because
He wishes no one to know him.
For he never says Il am Santa Claus"
But his good deeds always show him.
