PURSUED BY A CARIBOU.

Richard Green. while cruising on
township 4, range 5, was the victim
of a singular attack, and one which
might have proved a fatal one but
for the rapid sprinting powers that
is told by the Caribou Republican,,
Mr.. Green was crossing on a small
lake when he saw tracks where
several caribou had passed. AS he
neared the shore he saw an enormous
caribou Che claims the largest he ever
saw, with immense antlers. The
animal was on the ice, and had
started to go from one point of land
to another. The caribou appeared
to be perfectly fearless, and Mr..
Green, who was armed only with an
axe, made a noise just to see what
would be the result. His curiosity
was more than satisfied. The
caribou stood and looked at him for
a moment, and then started sudden
ly at Q 10 clip for his human foe 1t
was then Mr. Green began to realize
that unless he could reach shore in
short order he might be seriously,
perhaps fatally, injured. All his
energies were bent on getting ashore
and behind cover before the animal
could overtake him. Fortuna tely
for Mr.. Green, a large tree was grow
ing near the edge of the lake, and he
had no sooner placed himself behind
it than the now thoroughly enraged
caribou stopped at the edge of the
ice, within two yards of the conceal
ed man, and savagely paved the ice
with his fore-legs. He acted in that
manner for a short time, and then
started back from whence he came,
while Mr.. Green proceeded on his way,
feeling thankful for his narrow escape
from a serious accident.

THE SEA SERPENT DEAD.

1t would be most indecorous to
doubt the sea serpent now that he
has been vouched for by a bishop.
1t will be remembered that a good
deal of trouble was caused in Lon
don not long ago by cable dispatch
from Australia which led to report
that the bishop of Adelaide had been
found dead by a sea serpent, or some
thing equally false and confusing.
1t now turns out that it was the live
bishop who found the dead snake,
which is described as being sixty feet
long, with head measuring five feet
and provided with two blow holes.
The jaws were toothless and the tail
resembles that ola whale. The bish-
OPP has forwarded written details of
his discovery to friend in Adelaide,
and in the presence Of so grave and
revered an authority skeptism stands
confounded.-[New York Evening
Post.

that he was a little absent-minded
and expected that he would not no.
tice it.
AS the noon hour struck the alarm
went off with a rafting crash,
and those of the class not in the
secret started and took in the joke at
once. There was a round of APP
plause.
The professor waited until the
alarm and the applause were over
and then said deliberately:
Young gentlemen, | thank you
for this little gift. l had forgotten
that it was my birthday. A clock is
something my wife has needed in the
kitchen for some time. 1t is very
kind remembrance on your part
The professor then went on to
finish demonstration interrupted
by the alarm, and it was ten minutes
later than usual when he dismissed
the class! He also took the clock
home with him and the boys never
knew whether he understood the
hint or not; but the probability is
that he did From the Youths

HE TOOK THE CLOCK.

Professor Green, of Brown Uni
versitv, was one of the best teachers
in New England, but he sometimes
became SO much interested in his
lecture that when the noon bell rang
he kept the class five or ten minutes
over the hour
Certain restless spirits in the class
thought they would give the pro-
lessor a gentle hint, so they bought
small alarm clock, set it to go off
precisely at noon and placed it on
the professors desk when they came
in to the next lecture. They knew

JENNY LIMBS NEAT COMPLIMENT

No American poet ever received a
more enviable compliment than one
paid to John Howard Payne by Jen-
ME Lind on his last visit to his native
land. 1t was in the great nation
al hall of the city of Washing
ton, where the most distinguished
audience that had ever been seen in
the capital of the republic was as
sembled. The matchless singer en-
tranced the vast throng with her
most exquisite melodies-"Casta
Diva" the Flute Song" and the
Greeting to America" But the
great feature of the occasion seemed
to be an act of inspira ton. The
singer suddenly turned her face
toward that part of the auditorium
where John Howard Payne was sit
ting, and sung Home Sweet Home"

TIFFANY d. co.'s FIRE DRILL.

The recent fire in Union square, New
York, gave the employees of Tiffany
& Co. an opportunity to practice their
fire drill. The first thing they knew
of the fire was when one of the clerks
saw smoke coming from Schneider
& Campbell's store. The clerk re-
port edat once to the manager of the
store, who at once ordered all the
doors closed and guarded except one,
through which the customers were
passed out as rapidly as possible.
Then the manager pressed an electric
button and gave the signal for fire
drill. There are $50 men employed
in the Tiffany building and every one
has his work in case of fire. In few
seconds every man was in his place.
Then the order came, Let down the
shutters. Instantly every window
was screened by the heavy iron blinds
Ready with the hose All hose out -
and in less than a half minute every
thing was in readiness to food the
building if necessary.
By this time the extra detectives
belonging to the firm had arrived
and the guards at the doors were in
creased. The work OF putting val
liable stock in the safes came next.
Ready at the cases." called the
manager, and every clerk unlocked his
particular showcase, slowed away
the goods in safes and locked them
up. The fremen were then admitted.
Manager Cook said that he antici-
pated no danger from thehames. "The
building" he said, lis absolutely fire
proof, land besides, by our hose system,
we could flood the floors the instant
there was necessity for it. The chief
danger was that water might get
int the basement and injure the stock
there. We have special sluices there,
however, to carry off the water in
such an emergency. They were not
used today, for no water got into
the building. Then, of course, there
was the danger from robbery, but in
very short time all the jewels and
smaller valua bles were locked tight
in Safes

BEETHOVEN AND JOSEPH III.

The following little story was
translated for the CALIFORNIAN by
Henrietta Marie, from lie Monde
des Artistes:
At the early age of sixteen Beetho-
ven was oreanist at the court of
Bonn on the Rhine. Macmillan,
elector of Cologne, then residing at
Bonn, became very much interested
in the young man, and one day sent
him to Vienna with letter of recon-
mendation to his brother, Emperor
Joseph. No sooner arrived at Vienna,
Beethoven went Immediately to the
imperial palace with the letter,
rather excited at the thought of
meeting the powerful monarch. The
young artist was introduced into
the palace and then into an ante
chamber where he met very ahable
person who asked him with smile
where he was going and whom he
wished to see.
Beethoven.
Have you sent in request to be
granted hearing ?"
mo, but l have a letter for His
Majesty, fromthe elector of Cologne. :"
Twill you let me see it?
The stranger read the letter and,
still smiling, said: You are a must
clan? Well, present yourself to-
night at Augarten, and His Majesty
will no doubt receive YOU"
"Ah!" replied Beethoven somewhat
distrustful, "are you personally &C
quainted with the EMPEROR"
Yes, very personally"
"Perhaps you hold an office near
him ?"
Certainly, shave him some
times"
Really, is he indulgent or severe ?"
1T depends. He is severe with
musicians"
Yes, yes, l know! he plays the
piano and violoncello and composes
sonatas. But between us, great
lords never carry on their artistic
studies very far"
1T is really true" replied the
stranger smiling.
Beethoven soon retired and that
evening went to Augarten. An in
tendant ushered him into a private
salon where two gentlemen were
talking. One of these gentlemen was
the one who sometimes shaved the
emperor. Great was Beethoven S
surprise on discovering that the So
called barber was the emperor him
self. Pleased at the young mans
surprise, His Majesty invited him to
extemporize few variations from
Zarastro, by Mozart. Beethoven
obeyed, and when scarcely through
was embraced by the other person,
who until then, had stood aside.
1T was we'll done! well done!"
repeated this person. 1.-The composer
who can so well interpret a musical
thought will himself become a great
master Of his art !"
perhaps" replied Beethoven, "but
the theme is so beautiful Mozart's
music is divine, and as for me, do
not know what in it is to be the
most admired, the exquisite form Or
accute expression"
You really do not know to whom
you are talking?" asked Emperor
Joseph"
mo, sire"
ct is to Mozart himself"

Monday night next at the Opera House
that excellent actor, Lewis Morrison, will
appear in the elaborate spectacular dramat-
ic production of Faust" 4 good compa-
ny, a car load Of scenery. and skillful ap-
plication of the last discovered effects of
electricity, will make the performance one
OF the most remarkable ever given on our
stage. 1t is impossible to render the great
scene on the summit Of the Broken, with
more realistic and dazzling effects than is
done by Lewis Morrison. The sight of that
scene alone is worth the money paid for ad-
mission. This production of Faust" has
proven an artistic success and is made
doubly so by the excellent acting of the star
and the company. The box sheet was
opened at Olivier S yesterday morning and
from the advance sales already made a
large and fashionable audience may be ex-
pected.

Fire at Basic City.

SHENANDOAH NORMAL COLLEGE IN,
RUINS.
At half past ten O'Clock Wednesday night
in Basic City the cry of fire was heard and
in minute the flames burst through the
top of the kitchen wing Of the Shenandoah
Normal College building. The wind was
still but the fuel of frame pine was dry
and the fire progressed with determined
rapidity. 1t seemed to have started neal
the roof from the pipe leading from the
cook stove, and so far had it progressed
When first discovered that all hopes to ex-
tinguish it were quickly abandoned. There
were about 40 students in the building
male and female) besides Prof Hoenshel' s
family consisting Of himself, wife and three
small children. Only about one-half of the
students trunks. clothing. &C., was saved
and very little furniture. The house was
owned by the Basic City NJ, M. 81. Co.,
and the loss. which is total one, is estima-
ted at $4,000.
The time of insurance of Prof. Hoen-
shells furniture expired Wednesday at 12
O'Clock, and lie made two visits to the
office of Mr.. Allen, the agent, Wednesday
evening to renew the policy, but for some
cause the policy was not written, although
the money was rendered, suit will likely
be the result.
The college has done good business, being
we'll patronized by students from all parts
of the country. By l O'Clock everything
had quieted down; Many Of the students
having been invited to The Brandon, Dr.
Griffith's, Prof. Sine's and other places.
Several who had. retired had to leave the
building in their night clothing.
