flood night, sweetheart! It can’t be ten, I kaow;
That clock had better “go a little alow!”
I do not see how it can Fave the face
To take ‘ new deals’’ at such rapid pace.
Full well I know ten minutes have not flown
Since it struck nine! Good night, my love, my
“Good night, Chatlie!”
O yes: last night, while going down Broadway
Who do you think I met! Jack Gray!
Just home from Europe! You should hear him
talk!
Twould make a mummy laugh to see him walk
He struts arot-nd with sucha killing air,
Ha’ Ha! Good my love, my jewel rare!
“Goodnight, Chailie!”
0 Katie! wait, dear! I forgot to tell
You semething. Let me think! That s funny .
Well.
It's gone, and in a moment so am I.
My darling, how I hate to say good-bye'
Some fellows wou'd much later stay, I know;
But "ten’ your mother says: so I must go,
“Good night Charlie!”
Sometime, bewitching Katie- ah' sometime,

Good by” shall we consider obsolete.
No more will clocks strike terror to my heart,
And in exultant tones bid me depart.
Ab! now, like Cinderella at the ball,
I fly from happiness. Good night, my all!
—‘Good night, Charlie.”
Oh Katie, dear, ist too much trouble, think,
To get me a match* I could not sleep a wink
Without my smoke. It is a lovely night,

MART’S THAAKSBIVISR.
The last week in October !
As a general thing nature is not boun
tiful with her smiles, these short, dreary
days, when the world stands shudder
ing on the threshold of winter. But
this particular Monday was full of balm
and tunshine; tho air sweet with the in
describable perfume of colored leaves
which were drifted up along the road
side and collected in rustling layers un
der the stone foundations of Exmouth
Jail. Overhead the sky was blue as
sapphire; and here and there along this
wood path a starry wild-flower lifted its
purple eye, the last, lingering relic of
the golden September glow.
Dr. Fitch rode along the lonely bri
dle path, the sound of his horse’s hoofs
on the dead leaves reminding him
vaguely of the days long, long ago,
when he was a boy and scoured these
very woods in search of nuts, and hunt
ed squirrels and chipmunks with a de
light which moose and red deer could
not give him now.
“If one could only be a boy forever,”
said Royal Fitch. “Hallo! Who's
that?” as his horse shied at the sight of
a slender figure, sitting on a fallen log,
a few feet back from the road. “Oh,
it's you, Mary Trefoil I You got your
discharge this morning.”
Mary Trefoil looked up a dark
eyed, pallid face woman of two or
three and twenty. Doctor Fitch knew
her very well. She had been in Ex
mouth Prison three months for theft,
and during two of three months she
had lain nearly at the point of death in
the hospital ward, with a low, linger
ing fever. Doctor Fitch was rather
proud of the skill which had rescued
her from the jaws of death. He
stopped his horse and looked at her.
“Yes, sir,” said Mary Trefoil, spirit
lessly. “I’ve got my discharge.”
“And where are you going now?”
“I don’t know, sir.”
“Where are your friends?” he asked,
not unkindly.
“I have none, sir.” ■
“But this won’t do,” said Doctor
Fitch, noting the troubled light in the
girl’s eye, the deadly whiteness of her
brow and cheeks. “Look here; you
must go somewhere, you know. lou
can’t sit here. Can’t you think of any
place where they would give you food
and shelter for a few days, until you
get strong?”
Marv Trefoil shook her head. She
did not seem to be at all interested in
the question. Doctor Fitch’s horse
reached up his head and browsed on
the still green leaves of a wild grape
vine, which the boughs of a cedar had
sheltered from the early frost. Doctor
Fitch himself sat like a statue, and
looked at Mary Trefoil.
“A social problem,” he said, inward
ly. “And she must be solved, some
how.”
“Mary,” he spoke aloud, “can you
walk a mile?”
“I suppose so. sir.”
•Then walk along by my horse’s side.
I know a good old lady who wants a
girl. Prehaps you may suit her. She
need not know who you are, or whence
you came.”
“I didn’t put myself in Exmouth
Jail,” sullenly retorted Mary. “And I
have told one story from the beginning
—that 1 had nothing to do with the sil
ver. I don’t know how it came into
my trunk; I didn’t know it was there,
until the officer dragged it out before
mv eyes.”
“The law thought differently,” said
Doctor Fitch, who, as prison physician,
had heard these protestations of inno
cence from scores of lips before. “How
ever, that is not the question, we are
discussing just at present, Will you
try to deserve my recommendation i I
give you one?”
“Heaven helping me,sir, I will!”said
Mary Trefoil, evidently affected by Lis
kindness.
She walked beside the horse for some
little distance, until, down a side road,
which seemed to plunge directly into
the woods, they came to a grav stone
house, all mantled in scarlet creepers,
with a background of gnarled apple
trees, and the whir of a grist-mill sound
ing somewhere in the background like
the ceaseless hum of soniß gigantic
insect,
“Good afternoon, Mrs. Glover,” said
Dr. Fitch. “Have you suited yourself
yet with a girl ?”
Old Mrs. Glover, an apple-faced mat
ron of six y, looked at them through a
pair of round, silver-trimmed specta
cles.
“No, nor I ain’t like to,” said she.
“Betsey Keene, she’s gone into the
milliner’s trade, and Lucy Hovey, she
“Well. I’ve broueht you one,” said
Doctor Royal Fitch. “Come here, Mary.
This is Mary Trefoil,” with a quick
glance at the silent girl. “I know who
she is, and I can answer that she will
do her best to please you and make
herself useful.”
“Indeed I will, ma’am,” said Mary,
in a low voice.
“Folks live about hen?” said Mrs.
Glover.
“I have no relatives,'' said Mary. "I
come from the northern part of the
county.”
“All the better,” said the old lady,
briskly. "You won’t have no follow
ers. Well, Mary, I won’t deny that I m
awful glad to see you, for I’m pretty
nigh tuckered out doing all the chores
myself. To-be-sure, my son Daniel
helps me, mornings and evenings, be
fore he goes to teach deestrick school
for he’s a scholar, my son is,” with con
scious pride. “And father, he does
what he can; but a man can’t do much
beside tendin’ grist mill in a place like
this. You look a little white and peak
ed, but—”
“Ob, she ll be all right in this puie
air, with plenty or your new milk and
home-made bread,” said Doctor Fitch,
cheerily.
And with a whispered word or two of
encouragement to Mary Trefoil, he rode
away.
On Thanksgiving day, nearly a month
later, he came back.
“Hello!” said Doctor Fitch. “Why
Mary, you look like a different crea
ture.
Mrs. Glover had gone to church with
her 803 Daniel and “Father,” all un
dismayed by the occasional flakes of
snow, which were beginning to flutter
through the air, and the howling of the
wind down the glen.
Mary Trefoil was tripping around
the kitchen, with an unwonted tinge of
color in her cheeks, and her soft,
brown hair parted from her forehead,
and a red ribbon tied at the side. She
stopped, with a milk-jug in her hand,
and looked at Doctor Fitch, brightly.
“I am like a different creature, sir,”
said she; “thanks to you.”
“So it’s all going right, eh ?” said the
doctor. “You like ht place?”
“I am perfectly happy here,” said
Mary. “But, oh, doctor, I have no
one to consult, and I’ve asked myself
the question so mary times over that
everything seems distorted in my eyes!
I wonder if I might dare to speak out
my mind to you ?”
“What on earth is the girl talkiWfc
about?” said Doctor Fitch.
“If I could only see the prison chap
lain—”
“Come, I’ll officiate as prison chap
lain, for the time being,” said Doctor
Fitch, good-humoredly. “Out with
your trouble! What is it?”
“Well, it—it isn’t exactly a trouble,”
confessed Mary, busying herself with
polishing the great red apples which
were to be the crowning glory of the
dessert. “But I think—l am almost
certain—that Daniel Glover is getting
fond of me? ’
“Hal—lol” said the doctor.
“Oh, doctor,” faltered poor Mary,
“ought I to tell him all ?’’
"Hold your tongue,” said the doctor,
brusquely. “A close mouth makes a
wise head! You say you are innocent
of all those chargee*”
“I was innocent!” cried Mary. “I am
innocent!”
“Very well,” said Dr. Fitch; “then
you are as good as he is.”
And,with a few kindly words, he rode
on.
But as Mr. and Mre.Glover were com
ing leisurely home from church, with
Daniel sauntering behind, a sullen-eyed
tramp slouched up to the former,
touching his cap.
“Be you the grist-mill man?” said
he.
“I am the miller, friend,” said Mr.
Glover.”
“Well, then,” said the dusty footed
stranger, “it is my bounden duty to tell
you that you’re harboring a prison-bird
in your home.”
“What?” cried old Mrs. Glover.
“I knows it, blamed well,” asserted
the man, “ ’cos I was in quod at the
same time she was. Theft for she, and
drunk and disorderly for me. And I
wouldn’t have blowed on her, but she
refused me a drink of cider, and would
not let me in to warm my feet. I ain’t
no tale-bearer; but there’s some things
as flesh and blood won’t bear.”
“He stalked on. muttering to himself,
while Mr. and Mrs. Glover and Daniel
stared at each other in horrified amaze
ment.
“Mother, is it true?” said Daniel.
“It can’t be,” said the old lad.y
“Ask herself,” said the miller,
grimly.
Mary met them at the door, with a
radiant smile. The dinner was all
ready; the humble array of silver and
china sparkled on the board; the fire
blazed upon the clean-swept hearth.
“I am so glad you have come back!”
said she. “Not that I was afraid to be
alone, but there was an ill-looking man
along just now— Oh, why do you
look at me so strangely? Is anything
the matter?”
“There is much the matter,” said
the old miller, sternly. “Answer me,
girl—”
“Father, you shall not be harsh to
her,” said Daniel Glover. “Come
here, Mary. Lean on me. Nay, do
not tremble so. What is there to be
afraid of* We all know that the brute
spoke lies!”
“Is it a lie,” faltered Mrs. Glover,
“that you—you were in prison?”
“It is no lie,” said May, tuning
deadly white. “I served a sentence in
Exmouth prison; but—but I never was
guilty! Circumstances were against
me. I—”
“Then,” sternly uttered the old man,
“you must leave this house.”
“If she*goes, father,” said Daniel
Glover, firmly. “I go with her. For
I trust her. I believe in her.”
“Daniel, are you crazy?” said his
mother.
At that moment, Doctor Fitch rode
up, looking flushed and excited, yet
pleased withal. He sprung off’ his
horse and walked into the house, look
ing keenly about him.
“Good people,” said be, “what is all
this about?”
“We have just heard,” wailed Mrs.
Glover, “ that our Mary is a—convict.”
“Pshaw!” said Doctor Fitch. “So it
has got around to your ears, has it?
Well, I have just hea. d that she isn’t.
I have come from the hospital ward.
A man was brought in, fatally wound
ed in a liquor saloon aflray. I exam
ined his hurts. ‘My man,’ said I, ‘if
you have any affairs to settle, they had
better be settled at once, tor you have
not six houis to live.’ Said he, ‘lf I
am dying, there’s one or two things I
would like to say.’ And then, in sol
emn confession, he said, among other
black and wicked revelations, that he
was one of the burglars in the famous
Chartens case— that he hid the silver
in Mary Trefoil’s trunk, when, at last,
he found himself unable to carry it all
away, she being seamstress in the Char
tens family, and entirely ignorant of
the whole thing—that he was too close
ly tracked to contrive to return, and so
she was convicted through circumstan
tial evidence, being, to use the wretch’s
own words, ‘as innocent as a baby’ all
the time. He is a dying man now, un
der the chaplain’s care, but he does his
best to right you, Mary Trefoil, in the
sight of the world.”
“Mary,” said the miller, “I was wrong
just now when I spoke up so sudden,
Will you forgive me?”
“Mary, don’t look so pale, saothed
Mrs. Glover. “Here—drink some of
this cold water.”
“Mary, dearest,” whispered Daniel,
as his arm stole around her waist. I
knew all along that you were innocent.
I knew you were too good and pure to
be aught else.”
Ana the last words revived her most
of all.
Dr. Fitch stayed to help them eat the
thanksgiving dinner which Mary pre
pared so daintily—the brown and
oleaginous turkey, the cinnamon-flav
ored apple pies the baked potatoes
and mince tarts, with the nuts and
spaikling cider afterward. And when
he rose up to go, he said, laughing:
“Well, and when is the wedding to
be?”
“At Christmas, please God ! ” Daniel
uttered bravely, while Mary Trefoil
cried out:
“Oh, Daniel, I never said so.”
“But I say so, and mother says so,”
chimed in Mr. Glover, senior. “And so
the matter is settled by a vote of the
majority.” .
“And I shall claim the privilege of
giving away the bride, said Dr. Fitch,
merrily.
And so he went out into the snow
and darkness, whistling gaily as he
And Mary, looking earnestly up into ;
her lover’s eyes, said, softly:
“Oh, Daniel, I think I never knew
before the true meaning of the name
Thanksgiving.”
“It does seem providential,” said old
Mrs. Glover, tenderly stroking down
I the bright hair of her daughter-in-law
elect, “that all this should have hap
pened on Thanksgiving Day.”
As if all things were not providential,
when Providence is over us all!
TORNADOES.
A Meteorloalcal atudj
Gen Hazen, the chief signal officer,
is paying a good deal of attention to
the subject of tornadoes, with a view
of obtaining so clear a knowledge of
this class of storms that some of their
evils may be mitigated. All who live
in regior e that are liable to be visited
by these destructive winds will be in
terested to know that Sergt. Finley is
about to start out to investigate the
track of the storms which swept over
Michigan, lowa, and Illinois on the 6 h
inst. Sergt. Finley has done some very
valuable work in this line. Last year
the signal service issued as one of its
papers an important monograph on
the character of the storms of May 29
and June <30,1879. The paper v. 'ery
elaborate, and there is now in p.css
another effort by the same writer,
which contains a tabulated statemeM*
of 600 tornadoes and some generaliza
tion from their facts, with suggestions
as to the method to be persued in the
investigation of storms. The 600 storms
cover a period of 87 years, and the
whole country. Their examination
leads to the conclusion that tornadoes
occur chiefly in the month of June.
They have occurred, however, more fre
quently in April than in May and Sept
ember than in August.
Kansas has been most afflicted, and
notwithstanding the fact that the period
during which tornadoes have visited it
has lieen comparatively short. The
state has had 62 tornadoes from 1859 to
1881. Illinois has had 54 from 1854 to
1881. Missouri has had 44 from 1814 to
1881. New York has had 35 from 1831
to 1881; Georgia, 83 from 1804 to 1881;
lowa, 31 from 1854 to 1881; Indiania,
27 from 1852 to 1880; Ohio, 28 from
1828 to 1871. The states and territor
ies that have had only one each from
1794 to 1881 are Colorado, California,
Indian Territory, Nevada, New Mexico,
Montana, Rhode Island, West Virginia,
and Wyoming. The storms generally
occur between 5 and 6 o’clock in the
evening, although there is no hour in
the day that has been entirely free
from them. The average wid hos the
path of destruction is 1,680 feet. The
storm-cloud runs with a velocity of
from twelve to sixty miles. Hie wind
within the vortex sometimes attains a
velocity of 80 miles an hour, the aver
age velocity being 39.2 miles. Among
the most valuable suggestions of the
paper are those with reference to the
peculiarity of the movements of tor
nado clouds, contaning rules for arriv
ing at their violence. A tornado cloud
always has a center, and it always moves
forward from west to east. It may,
however, sway from side to side in its
progressive movement. Changes in
motion are sometimes very sudden. In
the event of a sudden change, the ob
server who is east or south of east of
the storm should move quickly to the
s r uth. If he is northeast he should
move to the north. If within a very
short distance of the cloud, the observ
er should run east bearing to the south.
This indicates the character of the di
rections which have been given for the
avoidance of the disastrous effect of
storms. The examination that Sergt.
Finley will make of the recent storm
will be very thorough, and Gen. Hazen
expects that it will add greatly to the
knowledge of tornadoes.
A Very Wise Bird.
A black vulture, known as the gallin
azo, is a very familiar object on the
Isthmus of Panama. One sees it every
where, perched on heaps of refuse, or
employed in its great service of clean
ing the streets by removing the carrion.
The gallinazo is of a uniform black,
but its head and neck are entirely de
void of feathers. The inhabitants of
Panama have a reason to give for its
baldness. At one time they say, the
gallinazo had feathers on its head.
After the deluge, Noah, on opening the
door of the ark thought it well to give a
word of advice to the released animals.
“My children,” said he, “when you
see a man coming toward you and
stooping down, get away from him;
he is getting a stone to throw at you.”
“Very good.’, exclaimed the gallina
zo, “but what if he have one in his
pocket ?”
Noah was somewhat taken aback at
the reply, and dee ) ,<d that the gallina
zo should be born bald in token of its
sagacity.

with irregularities and dyspepsia, the general
health begins to fail, and weakness nervous

A Baby Stolen by a Dog.
Selma Times.
Yesterday morning a negro woman
in East Selma placed a very young
child on a small pallet in the sun, where
the wind would not strike it, and went
to another part of the yard to com
mence her week's washing. Return
ing in a short while, great was her dis
tress and agony to find the child gone.
A diligent search, as she thought,
about the premises resulted vainly, and
the mother was on the point of dis
traction when a faint cry was heard
from the large dog-house that stood by,
a peep into which disclosed the baby
stretched on the dog’s bed, all right,
with the exception of a few scratches
caused by being draggged over the
ground, while the mischievous author
of the excitement, an over-grown bull
pup, looked calmly on, wagging his
tail in an unconcerned way.
Mr. Arthur B. Cohens, of Newport. Ky.. writes:
“I with to speak a g-od word for Dr. Guysott’s
Yellow Dock and Sarsaparilla. My wife suffered
greatly from a complication of diseases, ending in
a miscarriage, which for months confined her to
her bed. She had never fully recovered, and at
times complained severely of a feeling of bearing
down, while her periods were very irregular and
gave her great pain. Her physician seemed to
be doing her no good whatever. A friend recom
mended Dr. Guysott’s Yellow Dock and Sarsapa
rilla. From the first dose she began to improve,
and is now as healthy and strong as a young
girl. I think it is the best medicine m the world.”

ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
Ntrangely Interesting Career of a
Youna: American Becoming a
King'N Favorite.
A Stuttgart (Wurtenburg) corre
spondent writes: Almost like a fairy
tale reads the recent experience of
Richard M. Jackson, late consular
clerk and vice consul in the United
States consulate at Stuttgart, Germany,
whose sudden transition from the dull
routine of labors in a consul’s office, to
be not onlj’ the privy counsellor, hut
the favorite and intimate companion
of the king of Wurtenburg, has been a
nine day’s wonder, and has probably
caused more talk and speculation in
the kingdom of Wurtenburg, and in
fact throughout all Germany, than any
event that has happened for years.
That this rather strange procedure on
the part of the king to select for such
an important and trusty position as
that of privy counsellor a young Amer
ican, an almost entire stranger, should
have created an immense amount of
comment, and engendered much feei
ng and jealousy in German society,
was but natural, for the position was
of that high order, as court minister,
that it was coveted by thousands of
aspiring Germans—Germans high in
rank, high in social position, and Ger
mans with the blue blood of royalty
flowing in their veins. Before proceed
ing further with my story, a short bi
ographical sketch of Mr. Jackson will
not come amiss at this point. He is a
native of Steubenville, Ohio, and is
thirty five years of age. His father,
who was a farmer, was a relative,
first or second cousin, J believe,
of the famous Stonewall Jackson.
Like most farmer’s sons young Jackson
passed his early years on the old home
stead, tilling the soil during the sum
mer moths, and in the winter attend
ing the village school, where by close
application to his studies, he became
an excellent scholai, and laid the found
ation of what promised to be a bril
liant and useful life in the future. He
afterward entered one of the Ohio uni
versities, and continued his studies
with success for a season, but, having
a great passion for music, and wishing
to visit Europe, he left college without
graduating, and came to Stuttgart, in
Germany, where he entered the con
servatory of music, which has made
the Wurtemburg capital so famous.
Here he made rapid progress ss a
pianist, and by hard, diligent study
soon acquired the German language so
to speak it fluently and to write it with
out hesitation.
It was in April last that the king
first, through the medium of a corre
spondence, invited Mr. Jackson to be a
member of the royal court of Wurtem
burg. The proposition was a great sur
prise to Mr. Jackson, whose only ac
quaintance with his majesty was by
occasionally meeting him in the streets
or in the park, on which occasions he
would politely raise his hat, and his
majesty would as politely return
the salute. The proposition, al
though so tempting and ac
companied with the king’s earnest
wishes of its acceptance and the prom
ise of many courtly favors in the fu
ture was at first hesitatingly entertain
ed, nor was it accepted until after sev
eral weeks of careful deliberation, and
the signing, on the part of each,
of sundry important and careful
ly worded documents. Several person
al interviews were held in making ar
rangements, in addition to the corres
pondence that was going on, at each of
which the king’s interest in the young
American rapidly increased, and, to se
cure his presence as member of this
court and as a personal companion, he
was willing to bestow on him the high
est honors of his realm. Of course it
all ended in Mr. Jackson’s resigning his
vice-consulship and his clerkship in the
consulate, and at once entering upon a
new career. One pleasant morning in
May last,one of the royal coaches from
the king’s stables, with coachmen
and footmen resplendent in royal liv
ery, was seen standing in front of Mr
Jackson’s modest boarding-house. A
large crowd gathered in the streets and
on the sidewalks to see for whom it was
in waiting. Was it for the king himseh
or some member of the royal family ?
In a few minutes Mr. Jackson makes
his appearance and takes a seat in the
coach, the footman closes the door with
much ceremsny, the driver cracks his
long whip over the backs of the hand
some blooded horses, and the young
American—who is now an Ameri
can no longer, having renounced
his nationality and sworn al
legiance to the king of Wurtemburg
and the emperor of Germany—is borne
away to his new home in the royal pal
ace. An elegant suite of five apart
ments, luxuriously and splendidly fur
nished, are awaiting him. Footmen,
valets and servants, gorgeous in their
scarlet liveriss, with gold and silver
lace trimmings, are in readiness to wait
upon him and to run at every beck and
nod. Surely was ever fairy tale more
fully realized than this? And Mr. Jack
son did not enter upon this new life
for a few days or a few weeks or a few
years, but for life, with a handsome an
nual stipend guaranteed—more than
sufficient to meet all his requirements.
There being no vacancy in the court of
Wurtemburg the position of “reader to
his majesty” was created, to meet the
emergency, for the first time in this
court. But two other of the crowned
heads of Europe have court readers —
Queen Victoria and the emperor of
Germany—and the creating of this new
office in the court of Wurtemburg for
Mr. Jackson was considered an excep
tional honor and compliment. He had
not been long installed in his new posi
tion before court recognitions and fa
vors began to flow in upon him.
The king of Holland, a life-long
friend and brother-in-law of tho king of
Wurtemburg, presented him the
“Knight’s Cross of the Golden Lion of
Nassau”—the order of the house of
Luxedburg. The king of Saxony who
was visiting his royal colleague in Stutt
gart, was so highly pleased with the
young American that he bestowed up
on him the “Knight,s Cross of the Al
bert’s Order.” The Emperor Franz
Joseph, of Austria, who was staying
with the king of Wurtemburg for a
few days at the latter’s country palace
at Friedrichshafen, on Lake Constance,
become so interested in his royal
friend’s protege that he invested him
with the very ancient “Order of the
Iron Crown of Austria,” one of the
highest and most honorable gifts that
the Austrian monarch can confer on a
subject. During the month of August
the king made Mr. Jackson his privy
councelor, and conferred upon him the
title of “Geheimer Hofrath,” and on
the 11th of September—the birthday
of Queen O Iga—he gave him the
“Knight’s Cress of the Crown of Wur
emburg.” Since this last gift Mr.
Jackson has been made a baron. The
list of orders and titles already given
and conferred stops here for the pres
ent. To what number they will in
crease in the future, time only will tell.
Seldom if ever has an American re
ceived such honors and such marks of
royal favor. Mr. Jackson’s duties in
his new position are not onerous
or burdensome. Most of bis time
he spends in company with the
king, and during his (the king’s) walks
and rides is his almost constant com
panion. When his majesty makes
long or short visits to his country
palaces at Bibenhausen, Fridrichscha
fen, Wilhelms, or Berg, when he goes
on hunting excursions to various parts
of his kingdom or out of his kingdom,
he is sure to be accompanied by his
new privy counsellor, who has be-
I come as much attached to his majesty
as his majesty has to him. He dine;
with the royal family, and his traveling
expenses arc paid wherever he goes.
Certain horses in the royal stables are
at his command, and he has but to ex
press a wish to have have it gratified.
At the volusfest in Stuttgart, during
the month of September last, an im
mense concourse of people gathered to
witness the spoils, and also to get a
sight of the emperor of Germany, who
was to be present. On entering the
ground? of the race course the king
rode with the emperor in a carriage
drawn by six black horses, with out
riders in crimson livery. Following
th e royal carriage was another drawn
by four elegant horses, with outriders
in the same livery, seated in which
was Herr von Jackson, with three offi
cers high in rank in the German army,
in full uniform. In addition to the
gifts of orders and titles Mr. Jackson
has frequently received from the king
testimonials of his friendship in the
shape of rare and beautiful books,
paintings and diamonds.

What a Jefferson Darky Rescued From
the Waters of the Mississippi.
New Orleans Times-Demoerat.
Several pieces of the ill-fated steamer
Golden City, burned near Memphis
the other day, drifted past here last
night. A boat, very little scorched by
the flames, was caught by Mr. Emile
Schroader, of Algiers, and a small por
tion of the plot house was found by
some negroes ashore on the levee at
Greenville.
Bob Williams, colored, who works on
the old Preston place, half a mile
above Camp Parapet, Jefferson Parish,
while engaged picking driftwood in
the river, about dusk yesterday even
ing, met with something of an adven
ture. He was j ust about to tie a rope
to a piece of scorched wreckage of a
steamboat that was drifting by in mid
stream, when an animal, which must
have been crouching low on the tim
ber, and completely hidden from view,
sprang into his skiff. Williams, and
his nephew, who accompanied him,
tumbled over each other into the end
of the boat at the appearance of this
si range visitor, which, in the growing
darkness, they perceived to be a large
and fierce-looking beast. The boat
drifted down stream nearly a mile be
fore Williams recovered sufficiently to
advance to the middle of the boat and
secure the oars, which the boy had
dropped in his fright. Finding the
animal very docile, his courage gradu
ally returned, and resuming the oars,
he rowed direct for the shore. A
elcser inspection by moonlight showed
a large animal, nearly twice the size of
a Newfoundland dog, of a dingy, dirty
color, with its hair much scorched, an
eye lost by some accident, and its flank
bloody from a recent gunshot wound.
It was docile, apparently frightened
into timidity, and groaned' piteously as
it lay at William’s feet.
The skiff reached the levee at the
foot of Monroe street, in Carrolton,
and Williams and the boy disembarked,
followed, to their surprise, by the
wounded beast. It was then after 8
o’clock, and the levee was nearly de
serted. Some negroes, however, living
in the shanties standing just against the
levee, came up, observed Williams’
capture and discussed it. As all of the
Oarrollton negroes have been at a cir
cus one time or another, none of them
hesitated to pronounce the beast a full
grown lion, notwithstanding the fact
that much of his mane had been burn
ed off. At the corner of St. Charles and
Carrollton avenues, near the car station,
the crowd had grown so large and boist
erous as to attract the attention of Offi
cer Mean, who came up to see what
the matter was. The officer threaten
ed Williams with arrest as a disturber
of the peace, and when shown his queer
capture drew his weapon and was about
to shoot it, when Mr. Branston, a well
known gentleman of Henry Clay ave
nue, stepped forward and offered to
take charge of the brute making him
self responsible for any damage it
might inflict, gave Williams $lO for his
claim, and marched off with the lion,
which he had secured with a rope, fol
lowed by a mob of men and boys. The
“king of the forest,” as docile as a lamb,
limped along dumbly behind his new
master to the Carrollton Hotel, which
had been closed for some weeks. The
keys of the hotel were obtained, and
the beast placed in a dog-house in the
garden, secured only by a slender rope.
The news had in the meantime
spread over the town, and more than
100 persons begged so hard for a peep
at the brute that Mr. Branston finally
consented, and the garden was thrown
open to the public. Considerable
trepidation was exhibited at approach
ing him at first, but all were soon won
over by his docility, and several per
sons summoned up courage enough to
touch the beast, who did not seem in
the least to be disturbed by this.
George Fairchild, one of the visitors,
declared that he knew the lion well,
having traveled over six months with
it in Stowe’s Philadelphia Circus, just
lost on the Golden City. The lion
known as Nero, was one of the attrac
tions of that show; he was only eight
years old, extremely ferocious, and was
reported to have killed a keeper, Geo.
Regard, at Beaufort, S. C., last winter.
The aninal must have escaped from
his cage in the burning vessel, and
floated down to this city from the scene
of the catastrophe.
Mr. Branston kept anopen lion show
until 10:30 p. m. when the visitors
were dismissed and the lion shut up in
the dog house, a negro, well armed,
being stationed at the door to prevent
his escape.
The beast will remain in his present
home until the Woman’s Industrial
Association of Carrollton, to whom Mr.
Branston intends to present him, can
secure proper quarters.
“Nero,” might be giade the begin
ning of a zoological garden at Carroll
ton, such as Louisville, St. Louis, and
Cincinnati possess. It is very doubtful
whether his former owners would have
any claim over a beast rescued in this
manner.
Save.
Children who have a little money
ought to practice saving something.
Many boys and girls of to-day hardly
know a higher use for any money that
comes into their hands than spend it
for some foolish thing as quickly as
possible. To such, a lesson of self-de
nial and economy is important. As
go the boy’s pennies and dimes, so,
very likely, will go the man’s dollars
and hundreds, by and by. Without
having the spirit of a miser, the per
son accustomed to save has more
pleosure in laying up than the spend
thrift ever knows.
The way to keep money is to earn it
fairly and honestly. Money so ob
tained is pretty certain to abide with its
possessor. But money that is inherit
ed, or that in any way comes in with
out a fair and just equivalent, is al
most cettain to go as it came. The
young man who begins by saving a
few dollars a month, and thriftily in
creases his store —every coin being a
representative of solid work, honestly
and manfully done—stands a better
chance to spend the last days of his
life in affluence than he who, in his
haste to become rich, obtains money
by dashing speculations by the devious
means which abound in the foggy re
gions which lie between fair dealing
and fraud. Let the young make a note
of this.
“Home, Sweet Home,” is the last
thing played at the President’s recep
tions, and it is said to give warning,
like the cock’s crowing in “Hamlet.”
PRESENTIMENTS.
Ab InveNtiKation or the Cause of
Those Hark Forebodings Which
Make Powerful Men Weak.
Golden Rule.
Much apprehension has been oeoasior-eJ
throughout America from the announce
ment made by Profearor Proctor that the
return in nineteen years of the great
comet of last summer will cause the des
truction of the earth. But while people
are becoming so strangely exercised over
this announcement, an event of far more
serious importance, which is taking place
to-day. seems to be almost wholly over
looked. The nature of this most vital
subject can be best explained by relating
the following experiences :
Bishop E. O. Haven, known to the en
tire land, was unaccountably awakened
one night out of a sound sleep, and lay
awake until morning. His mind seemeil
unusually active, and he not only reviewed
his past life, which had been an eventful
one, but laid extensive plana for the fu
ture. He did not feel especially ill, but
could not account for the unusual activity
of his brain, nor for the restlessness
which teemed to posaiss him. In the
morning he had but little appetite, but
was apparently well in other respects. In
a few days, however, he began to feel rest
less and morbid, although he tried earnest
ly to overcome the feeling which had
taken possession of him. But try as he
would the shadow of some evil seemed to
follow him, and he was conscious of a gra
dual sinking and wasting away of his
physical faculties. He had been an earn
est and diligent worker, and in hia zeal
frequently over-taxed his strength, and
being absoroed in bis duties failed to ob
serve the common symptoms with wkioh
he was afflicted, thus permitting the work
of destruction to go on unheeded. But
the end finally came in a most peremptory
manner. Shortly before his death he
wrote a letter—the last one he ever indi
ted —in which he speaks as follows A
belief that death is near affects different
minds differently, but probably all who
are in a fair condition of physical and
mental strength instinctively shrink from
it with an indefinable dread and horror.
A dying man ia no more able of himself to
foresee his own destiny or the destiny of
those he leaves than he was before he be
gan to die.”
The recent sad and sudden death of
Hon. Clarkson N. Potter is one of the
most serious warnings ever given in the
long list of innumerable cases of fatal neg
lect. It is not sufficient to cay that many
other brilliant men, including Everett,
Summer, Chase, Wood, Wilson and Car
penter, were swept away by the same fatal
trouble. The question is, were these men
sufficiently careful of their health, and
could have been saved? The Albany
Arfus, in speaking of Mr. Potter’s sudden
illness and death, says:
“One of the physicians who attended
Mr. Potter here was interviewed this
evening. He stated that Mr. Potter’s in
ability to oonvetse had for some time
served to baffle the physicians in their
efforts to determine the root of his illness.
It seems, however, that Mr. Potter, some
two years ago, suffered a slight attack of
kidney disease. Unwise dependence upon
a robust constitution and naturally per
fect health, and neglect of proper cloth
ing, doubtless sowed the seeds of a disease
that needed but some personal neglect as
that of Tuesday morning to develop.
From the symptoms at first shown,
it was thought that his only trou
ble was nervous prostration ; but his
long continueuce in a semi-conscious state
led to the belief that his illness was seat
ed in a chronic difficulty more mysterious
and dangerous.”
Up to the latter part of last year Mr.
Edward F. Rook, a member of the New
York stock exchange, was doing business
in Wall street, New York. He had
everything to encourage him, and make
life happy, but he was the victim of un
accountable uneasiness. His experience
as described by one who knew, was as fol
lows : “At unexpected times, and on oo
casioßs when he had the greatest reason
to feel joyous he was irritable and haunt
ed with strange feelings of discontent. He
endeavoured to check these feelings and
appear pleasant, but it required 8 great
effort to do so ; after which he would
again relapse into his former morbid
meod. This feeling continued fora num
ber of months, when he became conscious
of an added sensation of lassitude. He
was tired even when resting, and although
experiencing no acute pain, had dull, ach
ing sensations in his limbs and various
parts of his body. Shortly afterward his
head began to ache most frequently and
bis stomach failed to digest properly.
Being told that he was suffering from
malaria he consulted an eminent physi
cian, who informed him that his kidneys
were slightly affected, and gave him medi
cine to restore them. v But he grew worse
instead of better. He then consulted
other eminent doclors of another
school and was informed that he
had a brain difficulty somewhat in
the nature of a tumor, but in
spite of all efforts to the contrary he
continued to grow worse. At this time
bis condition was terrible. What were at
first simple symptoms had developed to
terrible troubles. He was flushed and
feverish, constantly uneasy, and yet al
ways weary. He had an intense appe
tite one day and very little the next. His
pulse was irregular, his breathing labored
and every moment of existence was a bor
der. These disastrous symptoms con
tinue)), his face and body became discol
ored, his heart was irregular in its action,
and his breath came in short, convulsive
gasps. He grew constantly w»rse not
withstanding the utmost precautions of
his friends, and finally died in the great
est agony. After his death an examina
tion as to its aciual cause was made, when
his brain was found to be in a perfect con
dition, and the reason his of disease was
an entirely different nature.”
The experiences which have been cited
above all had a common cause, and were
each the result of one disease. That dis
ease, which so deceitfully, jet surely, re
moved the people above mentioned was
Bright’s disease of the kidneys. In the
case of Mr. Rook, the examination after
death, while showing the brain to be in
perfect condition, revealed the terrible
fact that he was the victim of a alight
kidney trouble, whieh had gone on un
checked until it resulted in acute Bright’s
disease. The leading physicians and
scientists of the world are fast learning
that more than one-half the deaths which
occur are’ caused by this monstrous
scourge. It is one of the most deoeitlul
maladies ever known to the human race.
It manifests itself by smptoms so slight
and common as to seem unworthy of at
tention ;>nd vet these very insignificant
symptoms are the first stages of the worst
complaint known in the history of the
world. Thousands of people h»ve died
from troubles that are called heart dis
ease, apoplexy, pneumonia, brain fever
and similar diseases, when it was, in fact,
Bright's disease of the kidneys. The rav
ages of this disease have been greatly in
creased from the fact that until recent
years no way was known to prevent its be
ginning nor check its increase when it had
become fixed once upon the system.
Within the past two years, however, we
have learned es more' than four hundred
pronounced cases of Bright’s disease,
many of them much worse than those
above described, and most of whom had
been given up by prominent physicians,
who have been completely cured. The
means used to accomplish this end has
been Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver
Cure, manufactured in Kocheiter, N. Y„
a remedy that has won its way into the
confidence of the public solely upon the
remarkable merits it possesea. As a re
sult, it is more widely used and thorough
ly praised than any medicine which has
ever been before the American public.
Indeed, there ia not a drug store in the
entire land where it cannot be found.
Although Bright’s disease is so common
in cities, it is still mere prevalent in the
country. AV hen eminent physicians in
the largest cities are not able to recognize
Bright’s disease, it is only natural that in
the country, where there are few physi
cians ol any kind, and those few so unac
quainted with the disease as to call it by
some other name, it should rage terribly,
and yet unknown to the ones who are suf
fering with it. Thousands of people can
look back and recall the death of friends
from what was supposed to be some com
mon complaint, when it was really
Bright’s disease, and no one knew it.
The terrible pleui-o-pneumonia, which
has been so dreaded, is usually the result
of uremic or kidney poison. Lung fever
can be traced to a similar source. Most
cases of paralysis arise from the aame
difficulty, as well as innumerable fevers, i
lung, throat, head and bowel troubles. A
’ vast number of ladies have suffered and
died from complaints common to their
sex, called, perhaps, general debility,
when, eonld the real cause have been
known, it would have been found to be
Bright’s disease, masquerading under an
j other same. In marked contrast to the
sad eases which have been above de
scribed are the experiences of many prom
inent people who were as low as any of
the persons mentioned, but who were re
markably restored to former health and
vigor by this same remedy. Among this
number are the following prominent
names: Col. John C. Whitner, Atlanta,
Ga.; B. F. Larrabee, Boston, Mass.;
Gen. C. A. Heckman. Phillipsburg, N.
J.; Rev. D. D. Buck, D. D., Geneva, N.
Y.; Dr. F. A. McManus, Baltimore, Md.;
Edwin Fay, Davenport, Iowa; Rev. A.C.
Kendrick, LL. D., Rochester, N. Y.; J.
8. Matthews, Portland, Mich.; C. W.
Eastwood, New York; Dr. A. A. Ramsay,
Albia, Iowa; Chancelor C. N. Sims, D.

Marinette, Wis.; T. 8. Ingraham. Cleve
land, O.; Henry T. Champney. Boston,
Mass.; Elder James 8. Prescott, North
Union, 0., who is a prominent member
of the Shaker community, and many
others.
To all caudid minds the force of the
above facts must come with special power.
They allow the importance of promptness
and attention to the first symptoms of dis
ordered health before disease becomes
fixed and hope departs. They show how
this can successfully be done, and that the
dangers which await neglect can only
with difficulty be removed.
