Leaves from a Note Book.

FROM Tie
An old man stumbled and fell near
the corner of Church and High streets
one afternoon last week. He was
bruised by the fall, and the blood
dripping from his face fell on the
tattered sleeve he painfully placed
under his head. He was unable to
get up. He was too old and weary
and week. Strong men gathered
around him and then passed on.
Other strong men and healthy men
and tall men came and stood by, gaz
ing idly at the PROSTATE form. Sew
eral ladies at respectable distance
asked if the man was drunk. Not one
hand was lowered to lift the bleeding
head, not a voice asked his name, not
an eve expressed sympathy. The
man lay still a moment and then
made q motion to rise-he did raise
| to arms length, almost to q sitting
posture. His hands slipped and he
| fell back to the pavement. The crowd
surged along the pavement. A young
man with scarcely more than the
adolescent down of early youth upon
his cheeks approached. He walked
faster as he neared the bleeding man.
! He kneeled, spoke few words and
helped the stranger to his feet. He
! looked around for assistance. The
strong men had gone with the crowd.
He wiped the blood away with HE
own kercheif and the two slowly
disappeared down the street, age lean
ing upon youth.

rushes out and gets a piece of half

leather trimmings, and cup OF

THE QUEENS WEALTH.
1t Is Enormous, and She Never Lost a
Penny bv Speculation.

Penny by Speculation.
It is believed that the Queen is the
richest woman in the world. OF the ex-
tent of her possessions only those few in
her confidence have positive knowledge,
but occasionally there is brough. to light
some little incident that confirms the
popular suspicion that her majesty has
most successfully feathered her own
nest. The Queen has always sur
rounded herself with the shrewdest
business advisers, and the man.
ipulation of her finances has
been intrusted to the closest hands.
It is said that she has never lost a penny
by unwise speculation. The amount OF
real estate she owns in London is simply
enormous. One block alone is said to
include both sides of the Quadrant and
Regent street, from Piccadilly circus to
Oxford street.-the most valuable prop
erty in the kingdom. Victoria began
her career as poor as the average Ger
man princess; the lesson in frugality
taught her by her excellent mother she
has never forgotten. She is provident to
the degree of parsimony. OF the extrav-
agance Of the prince of Wales she has
special horror, and it is said
that she locks up her wallet
and loses the key whenever she sees
her son and heir coming down the road
towards the castle to pay her call.
Few of you know that before she met
Prince Albert, Victoria had several af-
fdires de cgur. Lord Elphistone was her
first flame. He was young Scotchman,
tall, handsome and courtly. That she
was in love with him, Victoria did not
deny, and upon his part Elphinstone was
Iu of loH e
But such an attachment was wholly out
of the question. After vast amount
OF expostulation, scheming, threatening
and coaxing, Victoria was induced to
give up this first sweetheart, and the
handsome but poverty-stricken you,ig
Scot was packed off to the antipOdes,
where he was soothed with the govern
orship OF Madras.
Shortly after this Victoria fell in love
with Lord Fitzalan, handsome and
dashing young fellow, who, however,
seems not to have reciprocated royalty's
passion. Indeed, Fitzalan must have
been somewhat of loafer, for he had a
scandalous affair with a barmaid, and
would surely have married the wench
but for the prompt interference of his
father, who descended upon the couple
in high wrath, made a terrible scene,
and packed the young man off to Athens
as an agent in the diplomatic service.
This unhappy experience seems to have
taught Victoria the needed lesson. At
any rate she did not fall in love again
until her lethargic German cousin came
along, and when he did dawn upon the
scene it was a case of true and perma-
nent love-one of the most beautiful and
most touching examples of feminine
fdelity.-Cor. Chicago News.

ager, and will be assisted by staff of
resident managers, whose work will be
laid out by him. Then it. will be pos
sible to engage freaks of nature and the
usual museum features for this coast in
the east, for they will thus be booked
on the circuit for from four to twelve
weeks, and after closing their
engagement at the San Fran
cisco museum, they will be
turned over to Cordray's circuit,
which includes Portland. Seattle,
Tacoma, Spokane Falls, Helena, Butte,
etc. They can book the latter circuit
for four to twelve weeks, which will give
them from three to six months time on
the coast here, and will doubtless cause
great rush of the leading freak and
museum attractions now appearing at
the eastern museums. Several local
capitalists are backing the scheme.

Dra,s brought Gnelr DuaL up to the rigging of the Bienvenue, and rescued every one that remained. The poor fellows were almost unable to help ly, for hours to their perilous positions, and they were utterly exhausted.
 It was 9:15 p. m. when the lifeboat touched the wreck, and the work of talk ing in the poor wretches was as perilous as that of getting to them. The recep- tion on shore will be rem mbered for many a long day. Everybody rushed to cheer and shake the rescuers by the hand, and most generous attention was devoted to the victims of the storm. These were taken to Folkestone. Ten minutes after the Sandgate crew had succeeded in sav- ing the Bienvenue people, the lower life boat arrived.
 The bark T. P. Pfuger, from San Francisco for Bremen, was wrecked at Hastings. Her crew of seventeen and five passengers remained in the rigging five hours, while the life-savers sent rocket after rocket, with line attached, to the rescue. Several rockets fell short, but at length a line reached the vessel Thousands were assembled on shore, their sympathies more aroused by sec ing woman's form among the ship wrecked. tremendous cheer went up when it was seen that the line was fast ened. The crew behaved nobly, and the woman was the first to be sent on the perilous journey to safety. Nearly half dead she was hauled ashore. Then came two boys, and after them the men, the captain coming last. He was given an ovation.
 Two of the members of the Hythe life saving crew were drowned in the acci- dent to that boat, while attempting to reach the Bienvenue early in the even ing, others being rescued by the spec tators. It appears that artillery was also used in the attempt to throw a line to that vessel. Chainshot was dis charged from cannon at safe height, a cord being attached to the shot, with the hope that the cord would be carried over and fall upon the wreck.
 The number rescued from the Bien- venue is P. The lost are Captain Med dill, of Liverpool; two apprentices, the steward and d seaman. The sea swept as high as the m!zzen-top, so the strug gle to hold on may be imagined. The Bienvenue was bound from London to Sydney.
 At Dungenees, on the same dangerous shore, five vessels were stranded, one 8 foreign ship. The Dungenees lifeboat, in making effort to reach the vessel, was overturned and five of the crew were drowned. Two men from the stranded ships lost their lives in trying to swim to the shore.
 The schooner John Roberts of Port madoc, Wales, went ashore in the after noon near Brighton. Rockets failed to carry lines to the vessel. The crew were in the rigging and the vessel seemed about to break up. The Shoreham lifeboat did not engage 8 tug for the rescue, but was drawn to the scene by horses on the road, reaching the spot just five minutes after the vessel broke to pieces. The spectators were so angry at what they considered a lack of energy that might have proved fatal, that they m ade 8 hostile demonstration against the crew. Meantime the shipwrecked mariners had leaped into the sea and battled their way to the shore, with the assistance of volunteers.
