LONDON, May So.-The news from
America that the authorities at New
York refused to raise the British flag on
the queens birthday has caused de-
dided sensation, as il is generally consid-
cred in England as reflection not so
much on the queen as the English peo-
pie. In view of the fact that other for
eign flags are said to be freely exhibited
on the public buildings 1t is said that
the conservatives will make free and
effective use OF the incident as indicat-
ing distinct unfriendliness TO the En-
gllsh people where ever the Irish have
political control and as an argument
against granting home rule for Ireland

Mourning for a Pet Puppy.

Fortunes in California in 1s4e.

In 1S49 a youth named Glines, from
Newbury, Byfeld parish, Mass, re-
turned home from California with
sixty pounds of gold, worth $13, 1000.
He had come, he said, only to see his
gold safe, and was soon on his way
back to the diggings. The fever ex-
tended to Europe. A stock company
in Geneva was organized to freight a
ship for California. The round trip
was to consume four months, two
months of which were to be ,ex-
pended in digging gold, and it is ex-
pected, said the prospectus, that each
passenger will return with $780, 900
in his pocket. w. Sheldon in

GRATITUDE OF A SPIDER.
Protection from Mosquitoes of a Ma,
Who Saved the Insects Life.

Protection from Mosquitoes of q Man
Who Saved the Insects Life.
There is nearly always a crowd OF
blue uniformed men lettering about
the Central police station. The place
seems to have an attraction for them
when off duty.
One of the most entertaining story
tellers is Officer James Hendricks. ST.,
out 1t must be admitted that many
OF his narratives will not bear too
close an examination. Yesterday af
ternoon he was in his happiest mood,
and there was lively rafting of
rheumatic bones when he remarked
New Jersey is noted for its mos
qutoes principally. I have often
heard my grandfather tell of a re-
markable incident that occurred to
HIM near Newark. He had Just ar
rived IL the town and put up at a
small hotel where there were no
mosquito bars, and a man with a
leather skin would wake up and find
much of himself missing. My grand
father was not acclimated and his
flesh was as tender as love poem,
so he spent the afternoon wandering
about and wondering what he would
do when he met the winged soldiers
in battle array.
He was the softest hearted man
you ever saw. I've known him send
money to the starving heroine liz a
play at the theater, and once he
bought a pound of lard to grease a
squeaking coal cart wheel. The We
hlcle seemed to be in pain, he said,
and it brought tears to his eyes to
witness its apparent suffering.
while my grandfather was walk
ing along he noticed a large yellow
spider in the street. 1t was beau
tlfu creature and the old gentleman
paused moment to admire it's COR
geous coloring. Just then a wagon
dashed up and in another moment
the spider would have been crushed
to death beneath the wheels. At the
risk of his life grandfather stopped
the horse and bore the frightened
spider to place of safety.
Itseemed somewhat dazed and un,
able to care for itself, and he finally
put 1t in a little box and carried il
up to his room. There he whiled
away the time feeding it flies and
otherwise ministering to it's comfort.
AT length the supper bell rang, and
grandfather left his little guest
crawling about the room and having
a splendid time.
AT supper the tough skinned ma
tlves looked at my relatives delicate
features and exchanged wicked
wlnks. They thought of the feast
the mosquitoes would have. But he
went to bed, and all night long he
slept peacefully and undisturbed.
That spider out of pure gratitude
had woven web over the bed and
caught every mosquito that entered
the room. When grandfather awoke
1T was killing the few that were not
already dead. The story got out and
there was such rush to see the Won
derful spectacle that the landlord
charged an admittance fee and made
fortune out of it."
When he had finished, the silence
was unbroken, save by the jerky
ticking Of Captain Basler's Water
bury, as it struggled to make up the
fifteen minutes time it had lost in the
last half hour.-Louisville Post.

A WAR INCIDENT.
How Southern Sentry Discovered the
Enemy's Signal Fire.

4Ac" - SO0sAACEA sentry OlScOVereQ the
Enemy's Signal Fire.
The realities of war are terrible
and grim, with their untold suffer
lngs and voiceless pain; but often a
smile of the ludicrous breaks across
the stern visage, and the grim
wrinkles only serve to heighten the
d1mples OF laughter. In the glow of
the charge, when the cannon's roar
Is shaking the ground, and blending
with Its belching smoke in the wards
OF the dead and dying, we find flashes
OF wit frightening the gloomy back
ground, a happy salve to heal the
wounds Of war.
One of the most ludicrous instances.
combining the serious and comical,
occurred during the stay of a regi-
ment of southern infantry in a coun-
try town in northern Virginia. The
war was at its height, and the air
full of wild rumors of the contending
armies-nights of alarms and rushes
to horse, and days of anxious Skin
mishing, SO with the strain of work
and tension of anxiety the men were
ever on the alert.
One balmy September evening the
picket was posted and as the twi-
light deepened into night the soldiers
sank to rest in the clear harvest
moonlight.
On the crest of the distant noun
tains the golden crescent hung: be-
low quivered the sleeping meadows
IN the dim autumn haze. A death
like silence reigned supreme, broken
sometimes by the sentry's solemn
tread or the distant baying of dog.
Presently the moon sank behind a
bank of dark clouds, leaving only the
white tents, cleaning like tremulous
ghosts in the darkness. But out
from each bush's leafy cover sparkled
glowworm. Then about in the
shadowy gloom darted a few ti1nid
streaks of fiame-"lghtning bugs"
In the old southern tongue.
Suddenly an alarm sounded. A
wild call to arms rang on the soft
autumn air and in few moments
the camp was alive with hustle and
the bugle call ringing cheerily above
all.
When all were ready the men,
booted and spurred," We're drawn
out into the highway. Then the
colonel called up the sentry, who had
first given the alarm, to gather more
explicit details.

planned.
forward, march /" rang the order,
and the colonel added, ''Men, now is
the chance to win your spurs" Then
came the neighing of horses and the
trot down the dusty pike.
Colonel" whispered low voice
at the officers elbow, and the colonel
turned to see the picket at his side.
"Well, was the laconic response.
"Er-colonel," came the reply
slowly, 'er-I must er made a mis-
take, sir. You sees Use kinder near

wasn't no signal fire, but durn old
lightning bug"
And the moon broke out in a smile
from behind the piled up cloud banks.
