A Pigeon with a Memory.


It seems really impossible to extinguish
the homing instinct in a good pigeon. A
wonderful story is told by pigeon fan
cying journal Of a French carrier pigeon
which was captured by the German SOL
diers during the siege Of Paris In 1870.
The bird was being carried in q balloon
from Paris to some point in the country,
whence it was expected to return to
Paris with message. It was taken to
the German headquarters and presented
to the commander, Prince Frederick
Charles, who sent it to his mother in
Germany.
Here it was placed in splendid and
roomy aviary, and carefully fed and
nourished; but although it was kept
here, living in the lap Of royal luxury
for four years, the French pigeon did
not forget its fatherland.
At the end Of that time the door Of
the aviary was left open one day. The
pigeon flew out, mounted high in the air,
flew about for moment, as If to find
the points Of the compass, and took
flight in straight line for Paris.
On the next day but one it beat its
wings against the entrance to its old
loft in the Boulevard de Cichy. There
it was recognized, and it's case being
brought to public attention it was hon
ored as q patriot returned from foreign
captivity. It remained at the Paris
Jardin discrimination until it died in
1878.

A Brave Little Girl.

Z -
II had an experience at Sedalia the
other day that gives me cold chill
whenever think Of it," said Frank
Hardcastle as be Joined a group Of story
tellers in the corridors Of the Lindell.
"My wife and five-year-old daughter &C.
companied me on my last trip. We Sun
dayed at Sedalia, and during the after
noon drove out to the cemetery. Natu-
rally our conversation drifted to little
daughter we lost year ago. One of the
first things to attract our attention after
we entered the cemetery was an open
grave, dug for child. We walked up
to it and stood for some moments look
ing at it. The memories it evoked were
painful indeed, and my wife broke down
and cried bitterly.
Little May took me by the hand and
led me out of earshot of her mother;
then she said, while her chin quivered
and her eyes filed with tears, Papa,
why don't you put me in, cover me up
and take mamma homer I was astound-
ed. bent down to kiss her, and she
whispered, Tell mamma goodby for me;
Ican't do it. The child actually thought
that we had come to the cemetery to
bury her and that she was standing be-
side her open grave. It was the most
magnificent exhibition Of nerve ! ever
witnessed. ST. Lnuis Globe-D Democrat.

Portland People.

We find the following in regard to two
Portland ladies in the Englewood Press
of Englewood, NJ. Miss Gerrish is the
daughter of A. F. Gerrish, Esq, of this
city:
Miss Gerrish has leased the two stone
houses of the Messrs. Romans, and after
the first of May will remove her school
there. AS a preparatory school to Vas
sar and other ladies' colleges, Miss Ger
rish's school stands very high, graduates
therefrom being admitted on certificate.
There are at present 10 students at Vas
sar and one at Smith who received their
preparation at the Collegiate school.
The Shakespeare reading. given by
Miss Mary Selden McCobb, Monday
evening at the residence of Mrs. Shep-
pard Romans. was much appreciated by
those who were present, The reading Of
Miss McCobb was spirited, natural and
pleasing. She showed a thorough APP
probation of the text and an under
standing OF the spirit of the author that
was pleasing to her auditors.

BosToN, January 22.-Lurher Loveitt
of Lincoln Centre Me-. committed
suicide at his place of abode in the rear
of 81 Oxford street, Cambridge, Satur-
day. Loveitt has been residing with
Mrs. Lucinda M. Loveitt, his cousin, for
the past three months. On several occa-
sions he was noticed to act queerly. Sat
urday afternoon he went to hisroom and
standing before the looking glass placed
the muzzle of a revolver behind his right
ear and fired, the bullet passing through
his head and out over the left ear, caus-
ing instant death. Since his arrival he
has done but little work. No reason for
the act except insanity. with which some
members of his family have been
afflicted.

Monks and Governor at Loggerheads.
A serious conflict has broken out in
the Philippine islands between the Span
ish viceroy. General Despujols, and the
religious orders = Jesuits, Augustines
and Franciscans-whose chiefs have tel
egraphed to the Madrid government that
they will leave the islands if the viceroy
be not Immediately recalled. These pow
erful orders have more influence over
the natives than the Spanish authorities,
and this influence the yiceroy attempts
to check
These orders prevented the Bible So
ciety from establishing depot in Ma
Mia, and they were the promoters of the
action Of the Spanish authorities against
the Protestant missionaries recently
maltreated and expelled from the Caro-
line islands, where they had been estab-
lished and flourished for upward Of thir-
ty years.-Cor. London News.

the verdict on the water question was

of service. The expenses of the investi-
cation foot up $148. 10. Half will be
borne by the city and half by the water

The heavy frost has made bad business
for the water company during the past
two or three weeks, and there has been
fear OF famine. In many places the
frost has been down five feet and service
pipes have suffered accordingly. The
main on Richardson street has been
frozen over a week and sixteen families
deprived of water. The steamers have
been placed in commission by the chief
