Curious contrasts frequently appear in
the newspapers. There was a case in
point few days ago which showed how
it is possible for people in this big city to
starve while not very far away food is
being thrown away because the market
Is hopelessly glutted. A column of the
newspaper in question was given up to
the description of the superabundance
of bluefish and the necessity of getting
rid of thousands of fish for which there
was no demand. In the next column
was long story of attempts at murder
by strikers who were homeless and hun
cry. Had they been able to refresh
themselves on the extra bluefish their at
tempts might have been successful. As
it was they did not do a great deal of
damage and the fish went to waste

Cats of Long Ago.

The piercing and cutting teeth of some
of the cats of long ago are the most per
fectly adapted instruments for cutting
purposes that ever were seen, being I'M
equalled by any manufactured tools for
such uses.
For example, there was the ''gompho-
dus, which was as big as the largest
panther and had two teeth in its upper
jaw resembling daggers, each five inches
in length AS weapons for penetrating
flesh they are unrivaled among carniv.
orous animals, recent or extinct They
are rather like the teeth of some huge
flesh eating dinosaurs, the terrible rep
tiles" Of the Mesozoic epoch. which had
cutting teeth that nothing could resist.
Doubtless this creature was inconceiva-
bly, bloodthirsty. Quite as fierce, how
ever, and even more formidable by rea-
son of its greater size, was the contem-
porary 'pogonodon, which was as large
as the biggest jaguar.

A DIAGRAM NEEDED.

EN- barrassing Effort of Two Young So
eiety People to Attend Wedding.
Not long ago prominent young So
ciety lady of neighboring city was stop
ping with friends in this city at one of
the leading hotels. There is nothing
particularly strange in this, except the
fact that she was here led to an extreme
ly unusual and amusing incident. Stop
ping at the same hotel was society gen.
tleman of large acquaintance. Not long
ago it happened that two wedding recep-
tons. both in high society, occurred on
The same evening That evening, as he
left the dining room of the hotel, the
gentleman who figures in this story met
the young lady above referred to, and
after an exchange of courtesies asked her
if she was to attend the wedding recep-
ton. She replied that such was her in
tention. He then asked if he should call
for her and received an affirmative an
swer
Promptly at o'clock a carriage rolled
up to the hotel entrance, young man
alighted, was whisked up to the first
floor parlors in the elevator and in few
minutes came down with the young
lady, attired in bewitching costume,
upon his arm. The carriage then sped
away to the northward and in a very
short time halted before a large resi-
dence in a fashionable part of the city,
from the windows of which many lights
streamed.
The young lady and her escort were
at once shown to up stairs rooms,
where they could divest themselves of
their outer wraps before descending to
the parlors. While the gentleman was
waiting in the hall for the young lady
she suddenly appeared with a scared
look on her face, and motioning him out
of hearing of every one excitedly ex-
claimed in a stage whisper;
500 you know where we are?"
"Why, yes, said the gentleman, with
a questioning look on his face. "We
are at Mr.. rs"
'Well, | was not invited here" said
the young lady, with growing alarm.
well, what did you come for them"
81 thought we were going to the re-
ception at Mr.. Ms. knew nothing
about this reception"
II knew nothing about that recep-
ton" said the gentleman. Il was not
invited there. supposed you were in
vited to this one"
"And just to think" exclaimed the
young lady, almost on the border Of
tears, my sister expects me at Ms.
What shall we dor
The situation was so funny that both
laughed. The young man had been in
vited to one reception and the young
lady to another, and neither knew that
there were to be two receptions on the
same night
"Tll take you over to Ms" said
/ he. At first the young lady thought she
would go, but changed her mind, and
both returned to the hotel to await the
coming home of the formers sister. A
consultation was held and it was decided
to keep the affair secret, but the story
was so good that first one and then an
other were put on.
The young man has registered an
eternal vow that the next time he in
vites young lady to attend a reception
with him he will furnish a diagram show
ing the name of the family and the
number of the house. - indianapolis

GRASS.

The rose is praised for its beaming face,
The lily for sanity Wilderness;
We love this bloom for its innguid grace,
And that for its airy lightness.
We say Of the oak, "How grand of girthl"
OF the willow we say, How slenderl"
And yet to the soft grass, clothing earth,
How slight is the praise we render
But the grass knows well in her secret heart
How we love her cool, green raiment,
So she plays in silence her lovely part
And cares not at all for payment
Each year her buttercups nod and browse.
With sun and dew trimming over;
Each year she pleases the greedy cows
With oceans of honeyed clover.
Each year on the earth's wide breast she
waves,
From spring until stern November.
And then she remembers so many graves
That no one else will rememberl
And while She serves us with gladness mute.
In return for such sweet dealings
We tread her carelessly under foot
Yet we never wound her feelingsl
Edgar Fawcett.

Carrier Pigeons in Franco.

France curious privilege, which is rig
idly withheld from Germans and Bel

Mr.. Tegetmeier in his curious lecture on
this subject, is on the strict condition
that both the birds and the senders are

to this authority, there are 600, 900 racing
birds, which in case of a war would be
put at the disposal Of the government.

They used, it is stated, to train them
over the south Of France, but that is

that in the event of war these trained
pigeons would be struggled into the in

A horror was averted at Monmouth,

structures about We're soon ablaze. The
shaft was soon filled with smoke, and
the sixteen men imprisoned below were
obliged to seek shelterin the Furthermore
recesses of the mine. where they lay down
on their faces to keep from suffocating.
There seemed no means of escape, and
the cries of the mothers, wives and
daughters were heartrending.
-Four brave men volunteered to go to
their comrades rescue, and were let
down an old disused shaft. Armed with
pickaxes and spades they dug an en-
trance through six foot wall of earth,
and one by one the nearly suffocated
men crawled through the small passage
way, over the burning debris, and were
hoisted up. When the last one was res
cued a shout Of joy went up from the
many hundreds who were gathered at
the spot. Some of the men were more
dead than alive when rescued, but all

Some of our Virginia Democratic cotem-

cause them some modification. The SUI
is not Democratic paper; it is thorough
ly independent paper, able and trenchant.
1t often has scathing articles On the Repub
lican party, but is IN no sense bound to the
Democracy by any party ties. Its course
is guided wholly by the will Of it's editor
and owner, and it is just as likely to be op-
posing the election Of Cleveland before the
campaign is over, as it is to be found sup
porting him. 1t is perfectly frank. 1t owes
no allegiance to the Democratic party, mol
to Mr.. Cleveland-whom it intensely hates
as it's nominee, nor as far as we know
does it profess any such allegiance. Their,
are always some excellent things to be cop

not be credited to it as a Democratic paper.
In 1884 it supported Gen. Benz. F. Butler.
