Tnn strangest dukl os record.
Two brothers, Auguste and Andre
Berui, tlie former aged 40, the latter 33,
both employed in the groat glues manu
factory at Haint Denis, nenr Paris, be
came enamored of Adolo Verged, a oook
at Villotte. She received the visits of
the brothers with much sang froid. To
her it was amusing to see first one,
then the other, come puffing and blow
ing in his desire to be the first to greet
her. Noithor would give in to tlio other,
aiul Adele had to escort them both out,
as neither would leave the other alone
with her. So terrible beoamo the jeal
ousy between tho brothers that they
would not spook with each other. It
had, however, to bo sottled at last.
Adele threatened that unless her court
ship oeased to bo mixed with hatred she
would hnve to ask the brothers to desist
from calling upon her. Tho brothers
met. They had parted from Adele, and
both confronted each other in one of the
great wine shops of the Saint Denis
quarter, so appropriately called by Zola
•J Assommoir.” They glared at each
other, and their friends saw at once that
mischief was browing. They finally
motioned to oach other to withdraw to a
table. They spoke low, but excitedly,
smoked quickly, and tlio blue smoke of
their pipes was hot.
“A duel! Yos. a duel!” This was
distinctly heard, and then the brothers
beckoned to .Tules Komi and Alfred
Poulier, friends of theirs. They had
decided upon fighting a duel, but not
with swords or pistols. It was to boa
duel to the death.
Two bottles of rum were put upon the
table. Two tumblers were set by the
side of the bottlos, and then this con
tract was made by the brothers in the
presence of witnesses :
“It is agreed between the brothers
Auguste and Audre Bemi to drink rum
until either is unable to drink any more.
The first who succumbs will consider
himself beaten, and surrender all claims
to Adele Vergeri.”
The contract was signed, the bottleß
tipped, and the tumblers filled. At first
the men drank slowly, but, as the liquor
began to excite their brains, they fairly
poured it down their throats. At the
ninth glass, Auguste, the younger of the
brothers, gave a yell of pain and fell
senseless. Andre Bemi then arose, and,
with a smile on It's face, turned to leave.
Hardly had he reached the door of the
cabaret when he threw up his hands and
fell senseless. He was quickly carried
to the hospital, but died shortly after
readfcng it of concussion of the brain
and paralysis of the heart. Auguste
Bemi, crazed by the ram ho had drunk,
recovered from his faint, ran madly
through the streets, until, reaching the
river Seine, he threw himself into the
water, and was drowned before assist
ance could reach him.
BOYS.
Some people imagine that the world
was made for men. All a mistake; it
was simply intended for boys to amuse
themselves in. Who enjoys life except
the boy, if we except an occasional girl
or two ? Nobody. Grown-up folks try
to think they do, and some really im
agine they do, but they are mistaken.
Men work themselves up into a fever of
excitement over an election. They
hold mass-meetings and get up torch
light processions of great length and
noisy roar, but do they get any fun out
of it ? Not a bit. It is the boys on the
outside who do that. They are the ones
who build the bonfires on street comers,
and they do a large share of the hurrah
ing. Men in a procession move along
as solemnly as though they were going
to their own funeral, if such a thing
were possible, but the boy who observos
them from the curb-stone, or who trots
along close to the Dram Major, £- all
animation and joy. He takes it all in,
and is the freshest one in the party
when the tramp is completed, no matter
how long he is in passing a multitude of
given points. No one gets such keen
enjoyment out of a play as the gallery
god. And ail circuses in the country
are gotten up with an eye single to his
special amusement. If we could be a
girl again we would prefer to be a boy.

A WOBV IS SB A SOS.
At the risk of being considered hard
hearted and unfeeling, I must admit that
unfledged writers have little claim on an
editor’s sympathy. He is too much their
victim to regard them kindly—unless
they are really talented, and know what
they are attempting, in which case he
will not withhold encouragement. Says
a contemporary : I long for some patent
method for convincing every man, wom
an, and child, who is poor, unhappy, or
wants pin-money, that they cannot rush
into literature peU-mell, and make mon
ey at will. Above all, I should like a
legal penalty imposed upon every one
who sends a “first effort” to me. It is
an equal “effort,” and by no means my
“first,” for me to read their poetry, and
for them to write it. I am fast becom
ing a misanthrope from the amount of
trash, garnished with neither sense,
grammar, rhyme, nor meter, that my
fellow-creatures perpetrate with a view
of fame and fortune. Will any one ever
convince this crowd of imbeciles that to
write even decently demands previous
cultivation, information, and common
sense ; or that real genius is like any
other diamond, and needs careful culti
vating and polishing ? I suppose not.
STRIKING BACK.
Just- as a Brooklyn citizen called his
5-year-old son into the house, a play
mate * gave the boy a slap in the face,
and he ran to his father for protection.
“My son,” said the fond father, “ when
a boy hits yon like that, you must al
ways strike baok.” “O, papa, I did,
I hit him yesterday.”

A SERPENT'S CAST IF..
A Canada paper describes a singular
! mountain rock cave, thirty miles north
west of Winnipeg, Manitoba, where
every winter the snakes of all species in
the surrounding country resort for their
hibernal sleep.
Last winter some ef the convicts of the
| penitentiary were set to work to build a
wall around the entrance to the cave.
| When the time arrived for the snakes to
j seek their haunts they found their prog
ress impeded, and soon the strange gath
ering was increased by fresh arri
vals from the interior, until many
thousands of snakes were racing and
wriggling around the entrance, vainly
seeking an opening in the wall. Heads
with small eyes and red tongues were
projected in hundreds from every crev
ice in the rock, and a most unearthly
hissing was kept up.
On the occasion of our visit to this re
markable congregation of reptiles wo
were reminded of Milton’s description
of the legions of devils which were trans
formed into serpents, only in the pres
ent case the snakes were not so large as
those described by the poet, but the
hissing must have been equal to that de
scribed in “ Paradise Lost.”
One cannot wonder if Russian mag
nates fire afflicted with dynamite on the
brain, but it seems odd that the craze
should spread so far as to infect quiet
English gentlemen who live at home in
ease. Yet one of the big-wigs of the
semi-suburban town of Croydon had a
sharp attack of the malady, caused by
no less an occurrence than the delivery
at his door of a locked cash-box. Neither
he nor any of his family had ordered
such an article, and he at once suspect
ed a plot to destroy not only himself but
his belongings, so he conveyed the box
with unheard-of precautions to the local
police station. The men in blue of
course concurred in his view, and with
equal care took it to a neighboring iron
monger, who strung it up on a scaffold
pole and opened it in some mysteriously
delicate manner. The cash-box proved
to be quite empty, and had merely been
left by the übiquitous shop-boy at the
wrong liousej
TAKING JUJU AT HIS WOBD.
Says the master of the house to his
servant, as he prepared to lock himself
up in his study and work, “ I am not in
if any one calls, mind.” A quarter of
an hour later he rings the bell. No an
swer. He rings it again. Still no an
swer. He opens the door furiously,
and cries to the servant in the ante
chamber :
“Didyou hear me ring, you idiot ?”
“ Yes, sir; but you told me you
weren’t in, and I couldn’t think of taking
a bell’s word before yours, sir.”
WHAT TUB STABS TEACH.
One Sunday night we were sitting out
in the moonlight, unusually silent, al
most sad. Suddenly some one—a poetic
looking man with a gentle, lovely face—
said, in a low voice, “Did you ever
think of the beautiful lesson the stars
teach us ?” We gave a vague, appre
ciative murmur, but some soulless clod
said, “No; what is it?” “How to
wink,” he answered, with a sad, sweet
voice.— Burdette.

LOCUST I.BA YES.
As softly as the accents of love fall up
on the restless heart and awoetly soothe
its thirsting tenderness, now fall tlio
fairy suow-fiakes down from the veiled
heavens.
Sweet and silent messengers from a
sinless region I Who has watched you
descend on soft and foatliory wings and
not felt his hoart glow with an inex
pressible feeling, a spooohless love, a
kind of wild desire to gather you all in
his weary arms and fold you to his
heart, and in your purity to be baptized
and lose of liimsolf all that is earthly ?
Who lias not gazed into tho labyrinth
of your dreamy, downward dances and
felt his spirit mount hoavonward, in a
momentary delirium of ecstasy, upon
tho mazy stairway formed by your
downy wings ? lam watching you now,
and my heart borrows lightness from
your noiseless approach, and I feel in
tho depth of my heart that I love you
because you are pure. Sometimes I
have vaguely wondered whether the hu
man heart is capable of loving good be
cause it is good or not, but your coming
softens me into charity. I believe wher
ever throbs a human heart there you
have a lover ; though you may be dread
ed, you yet are loved.
Float downward, sweet wanderers,
and kiss the earth’s brown breast with
your soft white lips, and from watching
eyes wrap in folds of white the still, little
forms of fallen autumn leaves; fall
softly, oh I how softly, in that sacred old
burial ground on yonder hill, and cover
that little mound where sleeps our baby
darling, our little Maud, who was called
from earth while yet her soul was pure
as your wings are white.
Fall tenderly around the lonely hovels
of the desolate and poor ; kiss lightly
the little white feet that wander forth
and leave their prints on your velvety
robes, while the little outstretched arms
and tiny fingers are raised to catch your
light coquettish forms; gladden with
your merry waltzes the little, loving
hearts that want and poverty have failed
to chill. Beautiful snow! dance on to
the music of the winds; worshipful eyes
are watching you, and merrily-beating
hearts are growing wild with joyous
anticipations of the happy moments
you will bring them ; dance on, and rav
ish those eager, sparkling eyes with
your dazzling beauty; touch the hearts
of those who welcome you, and teach
them to follow’ you in your wanderings
to the haunts of the weary and home
less who are yearning for the sunlight of
hope and affection; who, though they
love you, are recoiling with dread and
death-like chilliness from even a touch
of your starry wings; who in life’s
utter darkness are starving for one re
viving draught from the waters of char
ity. Mbs. J. V. H. Koons.

Nothing on Earth so Good.
Certainly a strong opinion, said one of our
reporters to whom the following was detailed
bv Mr. Henry Iviischop, with Mr. George E.
Miller, -118 Main St., this city: I suffered
so badly with rheumatism in my leg last
winter that 1 was unable to attend to my
work, being completely helpless. I heard of
Si. Jacobs Oil and bought a bottle, after using
which I felt greatly relieved. With the use
of the second bottle I was completely cured.
In my estimation there is nothing on earth
so good for rheumatism as St. Jacobs Oil. It
acts like a charm.
SNAKE AND FBOG.
Many years ago, while in Ceylon, I
lived in a house in “Slave Island,” raised
on a high platform. The steps up to
the door had become loosened, and be
hind them a colony of frogs had estab
lished themselves. One morning I
watched a snake (a cobra) creep up, in
sert its head into a crack, and seize a
frog, which he then and there swallowed.
But the crack that admitted the thin flat
head and neck of the ophidian would not
permit of the same being withdrawn
when the neck was swollen with the ad
dition of the frog inside it. The snake
tugged and straggled, but in vain, and
after a series of futile attempts disgorged
its prey and withdrew its head. But the
sight was too tantalizing. Again the
head was inserted in the crack and tha
coveted morsel swallowed, and again the
vain straggles to withdraw were re
newed. I saw this repeated several
times, till, gaining wisdom by experi
ence, the snake seized the frog by one
leg, withdrew it from its coigne of vant
age, and swallowed it outside.— Nature.

One of the most remarkable traits of
this peculiar people in Alaska is their
aversion to salt, which they will not eat
in any form. I have seen them, when
offered a choice piece of corned-beef on
the vessel, taste it, and, on finding that
it had been salted, spit out the mouth
ful with a wry face and throw the re
mainder on the deck with disgust. No

be they eat it, raw’ and unseasoned, with

AS EMBABBASSED YOUNG MAS.
Tho Legislature had just convened at
the capital of lowa. Gov. Grimes had
arrived the night before, and taken
rooms at a certain hotel —at least so a
young aspirant for offioe from a distant
portion of tha State ascertained, as he
drove up and alighted from his carriage
at the steps of that public house. The
hostler throw off his trunk, and the
landlord conducted him to his room,
leaving the trunk in tho bar-room.
Wishing his trunk, tho young man de
manded to have it brought up, and, see
ing a man passing through tho lower
hall, whom ho took for tho porter, ho
gave his commands in an imperious and
lofty tone. The order was obeyed, and,
the man charging a quarter of a dollar
for his services, a marked quarter, that
was good only for 20 cents, was slipped
slyly into his hand, and was put into his
pockot by the man, with a smile.
“And now, sirrah ! ” cried the new ar
rival, “you lenow Gov. Grimes?”
“ O yes, sir.”
“ Well, take my card to him, and tell
him I wish an interview with him at
his earliest convenience. ”
A peculiar look flashed from the man’s
blue eyes, and, with a smile, extending
his hand, he said :
“ I am Gfrv. Grimes, at your service,
sir.”
“You—l—that is, my dear sir, I beg
—a—a thousand pardons 1 ”
“None needed at all, sir,” replied
Gov. Grimes; “I was rather favorably
impressed with your letter, and had
thought yon well suited for the office
specified. But, sir, any man who would
swindle a workman out of a paltry 5
cents would defraud the pnblio treas
ury, had he an opportunity. Good even

A REPROOF FROM WASHINGTON.
One day during the American Kevolu
tiou an officer, not dressed in uniform,
was passing on horseback by some mil
itary works that were being repaired by
a small squad of soldiers, and he found
the leader of the party merely standing
by and looking on at the operations,
which were being carried on with diffi
culty, owing to the small number of
men. The officer seeing the state of af
fairs, and that assistance wav much
needed, inquired of the man why he did
not render a little aid instead of stand
ing idle. The latter in astonishment
turned round, it is said, “ with all the
pomp of an Emperor,” and replied, “Sir,
lam a corporal!” “You are, are
you ? ” said the officer ; “ I did not know
that; ” and raising his hat in solemn
mockery he continued, “ I ask your par
don, Mr. Corporal.” He then dismount
ed from his horse, threw off his coat,
and not until he was tired out from sheer
hard work did the stranger cease to ren
der his assistance to the squad; and
then, turning to the corporal, he said to
him, “Mr. Corporal, when you have
such another job as this, and have not
men enough, send for George Washing
ton, and he will come and help you a
second time.” And, to the utter amaze
ment of the poor Corporal, he found
that the unknown officer who had ad
dressed him was indeed no other than
his own Commander-in-Chief. —Little

BEST AFTER EATING.
An English popular maxim says;
“ After dinner sit awhile ; after supper
walk a mile.” The two eminent pro
fessors, Claud Bernard and Kobin, once
made an experiment on the point wheth
er it is preferable after a repast to re
main in repose or to move about. Two
dogs of the same race and strength were
fed on the same food, and one was al
lowed to rest while the other was made
to move about. Then after the lapse of
an hour the two dogs were killed. The
one which had been allowed to repose
was found to have finished his digestion,
while the one that had been kept in mo
tion had onlv half digested his food.

A MOTHER'S BOY.
“Is there a vacant place in this bank
whioh I could fill ? ” was the inquiry of
a boy, os, with a glowing cheek, he
gtood beforo the President.
“There is none,” was the reply.
“Were you told that you might obtaiu
a situation here ? Who recommended
you?”
“No one recommended me,” was the
answer. “ I only thought I would
see.”
There was a straightforwardness in
tho manner, and honest determination
in the oountenanoe of tho lad which
pleased tho man of business, and in
duced him to continue the conversation.
He said : “ You must have friends who
could aid you in a situation; have you
advised with them ? ”
The quick flash of the deep blue eyes
was quenched iu the underlying wave of
sadness, us he said, though half musing
ly, “My mother said it was useless to
try without friends ;” then, recollecting
himself, he apologized for the interrup
tion, and was about to withdraw, when
the gentleman detained him by asking
him why he did not stay at school
another year or two, and then enter into
business life.
“ I have no time,” was the instant re
ply, “but I study at homo and keep up
with tho other boys.”
“ Then you have a place already ?”
said the interrogator. “Why did you
leave it ?”
“ I have not left it,” answered the boy
quietly.
“ Yes, but you wish to leave it. What
is the matter ?”
For an instant the child hesitated;
then he replied, with a half-reluctant
frankness, “I must do more for my
mother. ”
Brave words I talisman of success any
where, everywhere. They sank into the
heart of tho listener and recalled the
forgotten past. Grasping the hand of
the astonished boy, he said, with a
quivering voice:
“My good boy, what is your name?
You shall fill the first vacancy that oc
curs in the bank. If, in the meantime,
you need a friend, come to me. But
give me your confidence. Why do you
wish to do more for your mother ?”
Tears filled the boy’s eyes as he re
plied :
“My father is dead, and my sisters
nd brothers are dead, and mother and
[ are left to help each other, but she is
not strong and I want to take care of
her. It will please her that you have
been so kind, and I am much obliged to
you.”
So saying the boy left, little dreaming
that his own nobleness of character had
been as a bright glance of sunshine to

entered.
