She Wantad Pink Cheeks.

There is a girl on the North Side who admires pink cheeks, but she will be careful after this where she gets them. On recent afternoon one of the carettes was being logged over the holes in the pavement of Rush street. At Huron street the wagon was stopped, and a young woman stepped ill and took a seat near the center of the car. She knew several of the women, and return ed their bows. She was pretty girl. fashionably gowned, and was on her way to a public rehearsal After sitting quietly for few minutes, she, in an apparently unconscious manner, put her hand to her cheek and gave it slight pinch. On her hands were black gloves. The day was damp and the slightest trace possible of the color was left on her cheek. Then she pinched the other one. A black spot showed. This she continued until Adams street was reach ed, and never woman spoke. When she reached the Auditorium, her cheeks were a good color, but not what she ex- pected Chicago Chronicle.

It IS very curious to observe the peeuI- far way in which these birds learn their lessons. When fresh word is being ae- auired, at first (though not always) the word is misealled, and the parrot will constantly repeat it, just like child practicing lesson, becoming perfect by degrees. Then, when quite mastered, the word is put away, as it were, at the back of its memory, to be brought for ward when required, two or three years sometimes elapsing before the occasion arises. Some easy words it is found ouite useless to endeayor to teach the bird for instance, for years the words 'sThank you" have been said to her when giving her food. but she never has once uttered them on receiving it. On one occasion though, on seeing some dellea- cy being given to the cat, she remarked in q reproving voice, "Thank you eGood morning" and "Good night are constantly said at the proper times, put heavy London fog perplexes her; she hesitates which to say sometimes, end iue the matter on a dark morning by ramarkinp, "Good night.

Her Story Is Very Ancient and Appears
 In Sacred Hindoo Books.
 The story of Cinderella is substantial ly the same as that told of Rhodopis and Psammitichus by Elian, who lived ln Rome i'll the third century of the Christian era. The story, as told by Elian, is that while Rhodopis was bath Ing. an eagle carried away one of her sandals and dropped it near the feet of Psamnitichus, king of Egypt. who, like Cinderella's prince, was struck by its dlminutive size, caused the maiden to be sought for, and married her when found Make the sandal glass slipper and add the ugly sisters for the sake of contrast and the stories are much the same. The glass slipper, by the way, is an acknowledged fiction, being in real lty a mistranslation of 'pantoufie en val" Ca fur slipper), and not Zen yerre.
 This, at all events, is what is claimed by Perrault ill his 'Contes de Fees. !" Both these stories have doubtless com mon origin, but it is necessary to go further back in the history of the litera- ture to find tito people who lived in period compared with which that of even Elian is quite modern. It is ill the Vedas, the four sacred books of the Hin doos, that the origin is to be found.
 After what has already been said, it will not be surprising to learn that Gin derella is q dawn maiden, her sisters being the powers of darkness, who compel her 10 wait upon them, keeping her hidden from sight. The dawn maid en breaks from her bonds, and capti- yates the sun, remaining with him for a time. But she cannot finger with him ill the heavens; she can remain only until certain hour Once she fingers too long, and, hurrying back. leaves on the path she has taken token of her visit ill the form of fieeey cloud, which had borne her aloft when she left the regions of darkness. The sun, deter mined to find her, sends out his ennis saries (the rays of light), but does rot find her until she appears before him as the evening twilight.

WIND AND SEA.

The sea is iovial comrade; He langhs wherever he goes; His merriment shines in the dimpling lines That wrinkle his hale repose; he lays himself down at the feet of the sun, And shakes a1l over with glee, And the broad backed pillows fall faint on the
 shore
 In the mirth of the mighty seal But the wind is sad and restless And cursed with an inward pain; 4ou may hark at will. by valley or hill, But you hear him still complain. he walls on the barren mountains And shrieks on the wintry sea; lie sobs in the cedar and moans in the pins And shudders all over the aspen tree. Welcome are both their voices, And know not which is best The laughter that slips from oceans lips Or the comfortless winds unrest. There pang in all rejoicing, A joy in the heart of pain, And the wind that Saddens, the sea that glad
 dens,
 Are singing the selfsame strain.

THE GOOD SAMARITAN IN CHINA.
He Would Have Been Likely to Get Him.
 self Into Trouble.


 One dark evening l was returning home from cali on one of our English neighbors in Taiyuenfu When not far from our compound, the road crossed all open space of several acres ill extent. Aa l Was finding my way along by the rather dim light of Chinese lantern nearly stumbled over the body of man who had fallen by the way. My first impulse was to take hold of the person and ascertain if help was needed, but for some reason did not, but hurried home to get aid Mir X was still with us and on hearing my statement said:
 Yes, l know. The man is dead, and it is fortunate that you did not attempt to touch the body. Should we now try to remove 1t or even to go to it we should no doubt be seen and at once suspicion would attach itself to us, and none could tell the consequences. We might cause riot before morning
 It should be said that this suspicion would not have been because we were foreigners, for native under similar circumstances would likewise have run the risk of being charged with the mur- der. The good Samaritan would have fared hardly in China, or most likely would have been suspected of doing the kind deed for some ultimate gain, while the priest and tic Levite would have been accounted lot hard hearted, but prudent.

BRISTLING BAY0NETS.
No Election for a United States Sen
ator was Had and Blackburn and
Boyle are Left Without job

The Kentucky legislature has ad-
journed for good, after sixty days
of disgraceful pickering brought
about by a half dozen sore headed
goldbug Democrats, who could have
settled the matter of electing a
Senator on the first ballot had they
been true to the party electing
them
They had turned over the state
to the Republicans by electing
Bradley as governor, and it seems
they were still Gent on heaping in
fanny on the state by either electing
a Republican to the Senate or keep
a silver Democrat out of the seat.
1t was found before an ADJOURN
ment was had, necessary to call
out troops to prevent blocdshed in
the very halls where law is manu-
featured for the protection OF lite
and property, 50 bitter had the
feelings b Come between the lac
tions OF Blackburn and those OPP
posing him,
The SenatH passed resolutions OF
crnsure on Goue nor Bradley for
calling out the troops and had the
resolutions passed by vote of IS to
4.
The last ballot called was a
silent one neither the Republicans
or Democrats answering to their
names, after which a sine die
motion was carried and the men,
bers sung the doxology, seemingly
in good humor one with the other
and passed out and took the
trains for their various homes.

St. Patrick's S Day,

st. Patrick day passed offquietly
Yesterday as far as John Barley
Corn was concerned. We did not
see a single man drunk or any
boisterousness on the street. Very
few Irish wore the green, but those
of other nationalities made liberal
display of this color. Heretofore
the saloons have decked their fronts
with evergreens, but they seemed
glad yesterday that they we're
allowed to open without putting on
any frils on the outside. AT night
a ball was given in honor of the
Saint, though history does not say
that Patrick was a saltatorian,
but to the contrary he went about
preaching against all frivolities;
teaching Just the opposite to our
latter day past times. The young
people did not stop however to ask
who Saint Patrick was, where or
when he was born on what great
good he had accomplished for the
world They know they wanted to
dance and the night of the 18th
was chosen to honor some one and
st. Patrick was the Saint where
honors were bestowed.
