The adjutant may be called a sacred bird;
but as this epitaph might be misunderstood
as if it applied to- Hindoo mythology, |
must explain that he is consecrated to mu
nicipal duty, and is sancti6ed by the pro
lection of the municipal law. Amy one who
kills an adjutant in Calcutta is punishable
by fine of a gold mohur, or thirty-two
shillings never found this law in the
statute books any more than / ever saw
that fabulous coin. the gold mohur, in its
original gold.
But there is no English magistrate in
Calcutta who would hesitate to impose a
fine of gold mohur on any one convicted
of killing an adjutant. One of my old con
temporaries in the old college of Fort VIII
liam was so fined, although he killed the
adjutant in his fathers garden, and his
father was one of the judges Of the chief
court of justice
There used to be tradition that the
British soldiers in the barracks of Fort
William once blew up an adjutant by in
ducing it to swallow marrow bone in
which there was charge of gunpowder
and slow burning fuse, but hardly be
lieve it--Longman's Magazine.

A wild Human Being.

Near the Goonitee river, in district
where wolves abound and are never killed
by the natives from fear of the ill luck
which their death will bring upon the vii
lage, native trooper saw large she wolf
leave her den followed by three whelps and
little boy.
The boy seemed on the best possible
terms with the old dam and the three
whelps, and the mother wolf seemed TO
guard all four with equal care. They all
went down to the river and drank, after
which they were chased by the trooper;
but they escaped over rough ground into
the den, the boy running on all tours quite
as fast as the young wolves. The man
then got assistance and dug the whole
party out; the wolves and the boy bolted
together, and the boy was caught, fastened
to a rope and led to the village.
He could not speak, but growled ano
snarled like young wolf, and tried to bolt
in every hole and shelter that was passed
After four days he was sent to an Englis
officer Capt. Nicholetts Though kindly
treated, he never learned to speak, ran
away from grown up people, few at chill
dren and tried to bite them and ran to ca
his food on all fours- But he was friendly
with a pariah dog, and would let it shar'
his food. He would suck up a who'll
I pitcher of buttermilk without drawing
breath apparently. He never laughed o
smiled, and destroyed all clothes givel
/ him.
Two and half years after his captur
he died, and just before his death spok
once or twice, saying his head ached am
pronouncing the word for water.-Londol

now given up the pursuit of houses and
lands and will hereafter fix his whole
attention ON houses not made with hands,

1t cannot be much too early now to
complete the organization of the Re

committee at least should get to work
and be prepared to submit plan of
organization at an early date. During
this period of comparative peace is the
proper time to prepare for partisan
war. With the aid of an efficient sec
rotary the club can be made to accom-
plish much good for the cause from the
day of its organization. The accom-

% has an editorial on the subject
"What Jim Hill Wants" in the course
of which 1t expresses the opinion that
ait rests with MIR. Hill whether Seattle

conclusion the PIT asks "What shall

ration is strictly correct, Mr.. HIPS
power has been grievously curtailed,
ruthlessly wrested from him by the
proud namesake of a siwash chief. II

are few communities, however pros
porous as a whole, in which there are
not some worthy people upon whom
misfortune has laid its heavy hand.
There have been, now are and doubt
less always will be some instances of
that kind here. That they have not
been more numerous and more griev-
Gus during the past few months has
been due in no small measure to the
Ladies' Benevolent Society, whose
charities have been as literally
as they have been quietly dispensed.
There is no Ostentation about their
work. 1t is simple Christian charity
in strict accord with the great com
mand of the Golden Rule. This is the
first time the ladies of the society have
made public appeal for aid, and it is
made in a manner which promises
great pleasure to all who please to avail
themselves of the entertainment offered
by way of consideration" for the
assistance asked. We should remem-
Der that nothing is 50 wholesome,
nothing does so much for peoples
looks, as little interchange of the
small coin of benevolence." Let us
give no opportunity for anyone to say
of the people of Fairhaven: They sat
in their pleasant homes, by warm fire
sides and well stocked larders, and
with look that hell might fee
ashamed of, drove the poor away un
almsed."

brake wheel to keep the rear section from

thrown off the car before the wheels and

What was left Of him was hurried upon
the engine to the station, fortunately very
near at hand. The stumps were ampu-
tated and dressed without an@sthetics, the
call being too sudden and summons too
hasty to procure them if the mans life
was to be saved at all Pat never uttered
a sound. Quivering with pain, white and
perspiring with agony, he never so much
as WINGED. Gangrene set in and the arm
had to be taken off above the elbow. But
the brakeman never uttered moan.
| Late one night, when he was still weak
from the second operation, the hospital cot

down. The patient fell to the floor, the
bandage was loosened upon his leg, th'

ton of the nurse Pat Conley would hav'

mans face was drawn with anguish. HI
was so weak from loss of blood that it grew
doubtful whether life could be coaxet
back into his frame. Everything tina
could be done was attended to at once.
Painting, sick, racked with inexpressibl
torture, the poor fellow looked up at tn
surgeon, who was compelled to stoop t
his pillow to catch the feeble words. In
whisper that was inaudible to the rest o
the room, Pat murmured; Doc, how-lonl

the union numbers $500 members, and
