The story comes by wire that Spain
is much disturbed by the presence of
the United States ship Maine in Hava-
ma harbor. but why, none of the dis
patches indicate or give the slightest

American citizens; If she affords them
the protection that Is their due under
the treaty we have with her, and which
her subjects enjoy in the United States,
the Maine will prove as harmless In

Animals ON the Stage.

The number of animals who make a
living on the theatrical stage is very
large indeed. Just now eight English
fox terriers are delighting all Paris with
the part they take in La Jeunesse de
Louis XIV" and there is no doubt that
they are the men Of the moment"
Dogs, it seems, are the best animal
actors, and cats are the worst. Only
last year st. Bernard died, for whom
an American theatrical manager had

have been excellent actors one of their

through failure. Moliere himself was

Moliere played Sancho. Some minutes
before he had to appear on the stage

Moliere on his back, dashed wildly
among the actors on the scene, and the
fiasco would have been complete had not
Moliere saved the situation by shout

a strange Incident.

A correspondent of the Clinton. Hunter
don county, Democrat, writes the following
strange incident:
"At the battle of Monocacy, Maryland
during the Civil War, shell from the
enemy carried away the arm of a soldier
belonging to the 138th Reg. Penn Volun-
teers Upon the hand he had worn large
seal RUG The soldier was picked up, car
ried to the rear and later to the hospital
where in course of time he recovered aud
was mustered out at the end OF hostili-
ties. Recently the 1873 had reunion at
Monoeacy, when a group of the veterans
met a resident of the place, and in the
course of the conversation asked him if he
had ever found upon his land any relics OF
the battle which he would sell to them.
Yes said he, I have a number of relics
and one very curious oDe Come up to the
house and l will show them to you" After
showing them a number of trifes which he
had picked up at various times, he said
But the most curious is this one; and
going to another room, he brought a skele-
ton arm, within the hand of which was a
birds net and upon one of the fingers a
large seal ring. One Of the veterans, iu q
trembling voice and with an agitated man
ner stepped forward and. examining the
ring, held up his empty sleeve, saying,
That is mg arm that lost by shell upon
this battlefield The owner OF the place
then proceeded to tell how it came into his
possession. Some few years after the war
his little son, after the manner of boys,
climbed tree to look for birds nests, and
came upon this skeleton arm holding the
nest Naturally the child was frightened
and running to his father told him of the
strange circumstance. The father promptly
invesiga ed, and, carefully detaching the
lost member, carried it to the house, nest
and all, and had preserved it ever since as
curiosity but willingly relinquished the
CHASTITY relic to its rightful owner, who
brought it to his home in Pennsylvania.
