An Old Fire Horses Good Memory.

Eleven years ago horse was pur-
chased for the fire engine Portland No.
2, on Munjoy Hill The horse was call
ed Old Tom, and it helped draw the en-
CINE for six years and was then disposed
of. 1t has been drawing an ash cart OF
late years, and the other day went by
the engine house. Engineer Loring,
who knew the horse we'll, since they
came to that engine in the same year
and We're there together for six years,
fell into conversation with the driver
and told him that he hadn't a doubt that
if the old horse was put in his old stall
and the gong was sounded he would
rush for his place in front of the engine
just as he used to do. The driver doubt
ed this and they agreed to try it. The
old horse, now IS years old, was put in
his old stall, where he hadn't been for
five yo,Ts. At the first sound of the
gong he started for his old place under
the harness in front of the engine. He
tried TO 60 quickly, but made but sor-
~ exhibition of nimbleness compared
with his former habit. Portland Press

A Negro Lightning Calculator.

Octavus Flannaghan is dull eyed,
ignorant negro of 80 years of age who
has wonderful aptness for figures. Three
years ago Flannaghan could not calcu-
late what two pounds of cotton would
bring if cotton was 5 cents pound.
Three years ago, however, while Elan
naghan was steadily cbopping cotton, a
sudden thought came to him. He turn
ed to the negro nearest to him and yell
ed out, A bale er cotton dat weighs
500 pound wen cotton is gwine at
3-16 cents, will fotch $35. 1884," Since
then Flannaghan has proved a prodigy.
He was given the following sum yes
terday: If one-third of is 8, what
is one-fourth of 20? Flannaghan' an
swer was ~. Flannaghan says that
God gave him his power The negro is
here with Clifton Newton of Demopolis,
Ala, who says of Flannaghan:. "The
negroes in the section of Alabama
where he came from believe that he is
afflicted with a devil, and will have
nothing TO do with him. He cannot tell
one figure from another on paper. >

moon had come up from behind rocky
island just over in the bay, and spread
a food of golden yellow light over the
silver topped breakers, rolling in over
a neighboring coral reef. 1t was SO calm
and beautiful that it seemed that all
that was wicked and bad had gone ont
Of the world, and yet death lurked just
at my friends elbow as he pulled I'M
