A STRANGE BATTLE.
ONB IN Wlliril MANY TO-DAY AICK
KNGAUKO.
A Motbrr’a l.ovr Ptin hire Ilrr lo Merc nuri
Overcame the (.mint Wolf.
Nothing but the wail of a child—a
child two yearn old—asleep on the l>ed,
and yet it broke out o suddenly, and it
had such a long-drawn quaver in it that
the mother atarti'd up with a scream.
A stove, table, bed, two or three
chain—a homo in which a weak woman
was battling with sickncas and poverty,
only asking for the baro necessities of
life, and yet finding the battle going
against her more and more ns the days
passed on. On this night there was not
a mouthful in that house to cut. A
hnngry mouse could not have picked up
crust or crnmli. The last bit of bread
had been given to the child at dimk,
and now as it wailed out tlio mother
clasped hor hands and gasped :
“If he awakes and cries for broad—
what then ?”
Weill What then? It was only a
square to the river with its cold, dark
current. She could say to the angels
in Heaven : "It was either that or
starvation,” and they would not judge
lror too harshly.
As she sat there with heating heart
and anxious fears, the dim light making
queer shadows dance about the room, a
low, fierce growl made her heart stand
still. The door had not swung open,
and yet a gaunt wolf had found its way
Into the room. It stood there with
blood-shot eyes looking into hers—its
red tongue lolling from its month and
flocks of foam falling to the floor. Its
shaggy fur was stained and discolored—
i(a yellow fangs clashing and grinding—
a spectacle to have made a hunter’s heart
heat like a caged bird.
It was tho Wolf of Starvation—tho
fierce bmte which never tires—which is
ever on the hunt for the helpless and
weak—which growls with delight us tho
wails of despair and hunger reach its
ears. It has scented its prey from afar,
and its fangs were shar]>onod to rend
and tear and devour.
For a moment the mother’s heart
stood still and she gasped for breath.
Then, as she realized the horror of the
situation, she rose up and cried out :
“You have come to drink the blood of
my child I I’ll fight you to tho death 1”
She had no weapon but the thin
hands which had toiled and ached for
long years—no hopes but those horn of
a mother’s love and affection for hor off
spring, but she sprung at the gaunt,
strong beast and the buttle begun. De
spair gave her strength—love steeled
her heart. The beast retreated with
fierce growls ns she sprang forw&rd to
dutch him, and ns she stood in the cen
tre of the room uho became a magnet
round which he circled.
Now he slowly circles to the right, his
red eyes watching her bony Augers, as
they nervously worked, and every hair
on his back standing up in anger. She
turns slowly, always looking straight
into his eyes—ready to clutch at his
throat when ho springs. Now ho halts
and glures at her, growling, sniffing—
flinging the flecks of foam to the right
and left and grinding tlioso horrible
iangs. Now lie circles to the left—
cringing, skulking, orawliug liko a ser
pent—watching to find her off her guard.
The child is aroused by the patter of
the beast’s feet and the labored breath
ing of tho mother, and he sits up a silent
w itness of tho scene. His face is whiter
than snow—his eyes are big with terror
—his heart chokes him.
Now the beast springs. With a cry
of rage and triumph ho springs full at
his prey, and the woman's hands clutch
his throat. Thoy weave to aud fro. Tliev
stagger this way and that. His yellow
fangH graze her flosli and draw blood,
and the foam-flecks are stained crimson.
Thu child looks on witli a fascination
born of horror. He hears the clash of
teeth ns the jaws meet—ho notes tin
fury of the vengeful eyes—his young
heart seems to be stabbed at tho sight
of tln> mother’s grim despair.
Buell a battle ! mien a prize if the
gauut, hungry beast succeeds—sueh a
victory if the strength of a fainting, de
spairing woman holds out to save the life
of her child. With a cry to Heaven foi
aid she calls up all her strength for oik
great effort and hurls tho lieast across
the room. Ho is baok again in a mo
ment, and now he circles to the right—
now to the loft—now 1"
A step on the stairs ! The boost halts
iu his circling, his oars work nervously,
and as the steps come nearer his growl
changes to a whine and ho slinks into
the darkness—away into space. The
door is thrown open aud Charity steps
within, food iu her basket and kind
words upon hor lips.
The battle is ended.—M. Quad.
Sand Which Sings in thf. Wind.—
About twenty miles south of Stillwater,
Cal., on Sami Springs Plat, at tlm foot
of the mountain, there is a heap of sand
about one hundred feet high and nearly
a mile across, which sings in the wind
and is constantly changing. It is thrown
by the wind, which there has a circular
motion, into a vast, round wall with a
hollow in the centre half a mile across,
which goes two-thirds of the way to the
liottom. • It is steep and hard to climb
to the top, and on the inside is even
more steep, so steep that no one has
ever dared to go down, for fear that the
loose sand would slide down and bury
them up. There are similar dunes on
the Sandwich Islands, on the Hebrides,
and on the Atlantic Coast

mother to her family of one boy and
four girls, who had been misltehav

(■RAM) DUKE NICHOLAS,
Attempt ul llie Killed l*rlnee to Keenpe tv
India.
Private advices from Turkostan state
that the Grand Duke Nicholas, feeling
Unhappy in his place of confinement, at
tempted to flee to India on horaeliack
but was overtaken and bronght hack.
The Grand Duke Nicholas was the had
•my of the Russian imperial family. Ho
has been several times in disgraoe lie
fore, and it was on account of one of his
eseaptuhs and his supposed leaning to
ward nihilist doctrines that he
was exiled. He was a nephew of
the late Czar, and was born in 18111.
One night in the winter of 1871 there
was a brilliant masked hull at the ojiertt
house of Bt. Petersburg. Among tho
company present was an American girl
of extraordinary beauty, scarcely out of
her teens, yet a widow. Among the
company, also masked, was tho Grand
Duke. The couple liecame acquainted.
Tho Prince was fascinated, and tho re
sult was that they were never parted
afterward for two years and a half. The
Grand Duke was, after this adventure,
banished to the Caucasus.
In tho lonely life of tho steppes the
exiled Prince looked about him for some
one to love. Fair ladies were naturally
scarce, but the Grand Duke ultimately
settled his affection upon tho exceed
ingly beautiful daughter of tho Police
Master Michaeloff, and married her.
When tho marriage was solemnized the
Prince scut an humble and penitent
letter to the late Czar, entreating his
sanction for tho nnequal match. It was
refused with anger, and tho Czar, as
a punishment for the offence, ordered
the young Nicholas to join the expedi
tion to the Amoor district for the ex
ploration of Contn 1 Asia.
Meantime the beautiful daughter of
the Police Master determined to tako
the business in her own hands, travelled
to Bt. Petersburg, managed to get an
interview with tho Czar and entreated
him to give his sanction to tho marriage
of his nephew. The imperial kinsman
could not openly yield, hut before the
young lady departed for hor home he
Treated her Countess of Orenburg. This
was taken us a proof that her appeal hud
made a favorable impression upon him,
anil when he died the Grand Duke wus
tempted to ask Alexander 111. to let him
return to the capital. Tho request wus
refused with scorn.
After this, the Grand Duko was al
lowed to return to Bt. Petersburg society
aud imperial favor. He took a promi
nent part in the Russo-Turkish war and
received several distinguished marks of
honor from (lie Dear. Boon after the
latter was assassinated ho again fell into
disgrace, and on April 5, 1881, was nr
rested in the village of Snblinv, on the
-ailway to Moscow, and interned in a
castle near Bt. Petersburg. He wus
suspected of political intrigues iu favor
of his father, and of furthering Nihilistic
plots to this end.
lie was subsequently sentenced to im
prisonment for life and was confined for
some time in the fortress of Pnnaberg.
Hix months later his sentence was com
muted to banishment to Turkistun,
where he has been for the last two years,
flu was given some employment in di
reeling the building of a canal iu Turkis
tan. Hast duly he w'as placed under
arrest for a short time for interfering
with the duties of the Governor of the
province.
DomesUo KeclpeH.
Hero arc two receipts for wnfflos ; one
for thoHe which can bo made and baked
at once, and the other for those which
are rained with yeast, and consequently
require several hours in their prepara
tion. Number 1 : 1 quart of sifted flour,
a pint of sweet milk, if it i possible to
have this part cream it will boa great
improvement, if not add a tablespoouful
of melted butter. Beat two eggs very
light, salt to your taste; a teaspoonful
of baking powder should bo mixed with
the flour. Tho batter when done should
be a little stitVer than for griddle cakes.
These should be baked at once. Num
ber 2: one quart of (lour, ouo pint of
sweet milk, two eggs, little melted but
ter, half a teacupful of yeast, or if the
oompreHsed yeast is list'd, a fourth of a
cake will l>e sufficient. When light bake
immediately. If the yeast is fresh these
will be ready to bake in two hours after
they are mixed.
A way to utilize cold buckwheat cakes
has been discovered by an ingenious
woman. Drop a lump of butter in a
frying pan, put the cakes iu, let them
brown on both Hides, pour a little milk
over them, and send them hot to the
table, and they make an entree that is
astonishingly good.
A quickly made dessert is this : Make
a batter as for common griddle cakes,
then add an egg, and some fruit, either
stewed or canned berries, drain the
juice from them, and stir them into the
batter; fry in a little lard and serve
with pudding sauce.
Anew way to make filling for layer
cakes is to chop half a pouud of
blanched almonds, half a cup of raisins,
and a small piece of citron very tine,
sprinkle powdered sugar over them, let
them stand well mixed for an hour,
then put between the layers of any rich
cake.

NOTES AND COMMENTS.
Darwinian theory: There is a boy in
Norristown who “sprang from a mon
key." The monkey belonged to an or
gan grinder aud attempted to bite the
boy.
Toobtiirr they were looking over the
paper. “Oh, my, how funny,” said she.
“What is it?” he asked. “Why, here’s
an advertisement that says : ‘No reason
able offer refused.’” “What’s so o<ld
about that?’’ “Nothing, nothing,” she
replied, tiying to blush, “only those are
my sentiments.”
A shabbily dressed woman called
upon one of our citizens for aid, claim
ing that she was in a starving condition.
The citizen looked upon her plethorio
form, estimating the avoirdupois of the
superfluous fat, aud answered, “You
don’t look like a starving woman.” "J
bnow it,” she whiningly answered, “I’m
bloated with grief. ”
Hollow htkk l mufti no, which has
come very generally into use in Eurojie,
even for such heavy work as steamship
propeller shafts, is found to very much
lessen the weight in proportion to the
decreased strength. It upfiears, for ex
ample, that a ten-inch shaft, with a hole
four inches in diameter, has its weight
reduced sixteen per cent., with a loss of
only 2.W per cent, of strength.

An Experiment. —ln a letter to the
London JHme a gentleman stute thut
experiment made with a view to inves
tigating the scattering of shot have con
vinced him that with an ordinary gun
and ainmuuiliou there is much more
scattering than people imagine; and to
this fact lie attributes many shooting
casualties. For this reason he publishes
the result of his experiments, with the
hope that persons who use firearms will
be more careful in the matter.
TwkNTY YEARS AGO BIRMINGHAM, AI.A.,
did not exist even as a village. Thu
present site of the city was an old worn
out plantation with a surrounding
mountain wilderness. Not a dollar of
capital was invested in the development
of its vast storehouse of hidden treas
ures. Now all is changed. Over $20,-
)()0,(K)0 capital is invested in the cool
and iron district of which Birmingham
is the centre. Its population—about
1(1,000 — is increasing, and the city is
growing rapidly.
Btay Tmtn.—An eccentric farmer
living in Ohio had a flwk of sheep that
had not been shorn for six years. The
wool has grown over their eyes and
is so long that it drags on the ground.
On being asked why he did not shear
his sheep, Mr. Sellers replied, “God
put the wool ou their backs to stay there
mid keep them warm, and I do uot pro
pose to interfere.” The flock ia a great
curiosity, and people come from miles
around to see them. Mr. Sellers never
shaves, cuts his hair or finger nails.
In Baokamknto, Cal., a father nail a
/oung man arrested and brought before
a justice on a charge of having offered
an insult to his daughter. When the
old gentleman came into court he saw
that there would be difficulty in securing
a conviction, aud asked the Court that
the proceedings lie dismissed, and paid
the costs. The old gentleman and the
defendant left the court-room together.
As soon as they reached the sidewalk
the old man collared the youth and gave
him a terrible thrashing. When ho
thought the boy lnid enough ho gave
hima parting kick, stepped back into the
court-room and said: “Judge you wit
nessed tho business; bow much is it
worth?” Tho Judge replied that he
thought $lO would be the right figure.
The old gentleman paid the coin aud
walked briskly off to his work.
Fool®, wito was hanged in Goblin,
is probably the last man who will have
to pay the penalty for complicity in the
Pheenix Park murders. His connection
with tho tragedy was something like
O'Donnell’s; he helped to kill Kenney,
who was suspected of having given in
formation to the Police about tho assas
sination of Cavendish and Burke. We
have yet to learn the fate of the other
Informers who betrayed their associates
in the I’lnenix Park affair. Tho British
colonies refused them a landing, ami at
last accounts tho English Government
had not found an asylum for them. Then
came the excitement about the killing of
Carey, aud under cover of that, they
have managed to disappear. Tho hang
ing of O’Donnell and Poole adds to their
chances of a long life, wherever they
may be.
The question of burning coal in wet
ir dry state is still being discussed iu
the English journals, a large amount of
loth theory aud practical information
being set forth. .One writer savs that,
although it is generally eoccoded to be
true that wet bituminous coal will not
produce as largo a quantity of steam in a
boiler us dry coal, there are few figures
to substantiate this. The results of a
series of tests, made recent ly w ith much
are, are regarded as having consider
able weight iu the determination of the
points involved. It appeared that a
mass of washed slack holding eighteen
per cent, of water and nine and uiue
tenths per cent, of ash, evaporated five
and seven-tenths pounds of water per
pound of fuel, while the same coal, with
only three i>er cent of water, made from
eight to eighth and five-tenths {rounds
of steam; making due allowance for
moisture by reducing to a standard of
like quantities of coal free from mois
ture, a direct loss of fourteen per cent,
s shown in using wet coal.

The Pathetic Nlorr o! a Victim of the liras,
“I wish that I knew of some way of
breaking myself of taking opiates. I
would he willing to go to jail—to do
anything, in short, so that I could be
placed in confinement until I had a
chance to cure myself of this terrible
habit. I never shall be able to do so if
I am left to myself.” These words were
addressed to a correspondent by a man
giving his name as George Johnson,
who acknowledged that he was a con
firmed opium eater. Ilis appearance
was a stHrtliug one. His face had the
aspect of a haggard corpse, his eyes
were hollow and sunken, but glittered
with a half-maniacal fire, while a ragged
growtli of short black beard aud long
tangled hair addeil to his wretched ap
pearance. His clothing was old and
dilapidated; a sagged coat was buttoned
up to his chin to hide a coarse, dirty
shirt, and a straw hat, with a pair of
brogan shoes, completed a costume that
would answer equally well for a tramp
or a footpad. Yet there was an air of
refinement that clung to him with all
his rags, and his hands, though soiled
and hardoued, were slender and delieate.
"I am a js-rfect slave to opium,” he
continued, “and I would hesitate at
nothing to procure the drug when the
desire for it is on me. I will lie or
steal. I heard a friend say once”—here
he paused and looked significantly at
the reporter—“that ho would kill a man
if neceasary to get morphine, and I
wouldn't blame him. I have fallen from
a respectable station down to what you
eee me, and there is uo telling how
much lower I will get unless I have
help. The amonut of morphine I can
take has not, I suppose, ever tieen
equalled. One time I took ninety groins,
and it did not injure me. I think by
graduully increasing the dose I could
take twice as much without danger.
When I can't get enough morphine to
do me any good I take crude opium or
chloroform. I knew you will hardly
believe mo when I say that in one night
I used a pound of chemicaled pure
chloroform by inhalation, yet it is a
fact. I have gone for three or four days
at a time without eating, iu order to liny
morphine or opium with the little money
1 had. lam only twenty-seven, but I
began using it when 1 wus but twenty
two. At that time I was a deacon in a
Jhrlstian church; I never drank, swore
or gambled. I was then the owner of u
retail drug store in Hickman, where I
remained all through the yellow fever
epidemic. Out of a population of 1,200
200 died, among them eight doctors,
but I came out of it healthier than over.
When the habit took firm hold on me 1
commenced going down hill. I lost my
property lost my health, my friends
and luy self-respect. I believe the
knowledge of it hastened my father’s
death; it lias beggared me, estranged
the girl to whom I was to be married,
aud it will prove my death. It hangs
over me like tiie blackest of nightmares;
it has taken possession of my every
waking thought, and usurped every
dream of night. The horror of my situ
ation has benumbed every faculty hut
that of dread, ami every day I grow
more keenly alive to my awful condition.
I would part with anything, even my
mind, aud he contented to live the re
mainder of my life iu a maniac’s ceil, if
1 could oulv lie clued.”
War Anecdotes.
Adjutant General Townsend, of the
U. S. Army, in his anecdotes of the civil
war gives us the billowing: “General
Townsend was at General Scott’s head
quarters when the dispatches came in
announcing the rout of the Union forces
in the Hist battle of Bull lion. In re
gard to the movement, by the way,
which ended so disastrously, the author
says that McDowell’s plans were ftp
proved iu detail by the President and
his cabinet, and by Geueral Bcott and
his stall. Among others to whom they
were submitted, General Fremont was
especially asked by the President if he
perceived any objection, or could sug
gest any improvement; not a word of
criticism, however, was forthcoming
from any source, anti the unlucky pro
gramme was unanimously sanctioned in
nil its features.
"Amid the panic and eonfusiou that
followed the defeat, General Scott was
at ull events, it seems, unwavering as a
rock. When reports were brought him
that the rebels were advancing unop
posed on Washington, and would soon
lie on the Long Bridge, the old soldier
would calmly look on the informant and
reply: ‘lt is impossible, sir ! We are
now tasting the first fruits of a war, and
learning what a panic is.. We must be
prepared for all kinds of rumors. Why,
sir, we shall soon hear that Jefferson
Davis has crossed the Long Bridge at the
head of a brigade of elephants, and is
tramping our citizens under foot ! He
has no brigade of elephants; he cannot
bv any possibility get a brigade of ele
phants.’ But though Soott kept his
head, hardly anybody else did, aud ‘for
a time,’ according to the anthor, ‘there
is little doubt that had a squad of men
mounted on blnek horses (the Virginia
troop of ‘Black Horse’ had beeu a bug
bear for some weeks) appeared on the
Long Bridge or iu the streets of the
city, there would have been u stampede
worthy of a dock of sheep.’”
Saved. —A onnd man crossing the
street the other day was on the point of
being run over by a reckless driver when,
at the risk of her own life, a beautiful
young lady ran to his rescue aud piloted
the poor man to the pavement. A rich
bachelor saw the transaction, and
straightway sought her out. was intro
duced, courted, proposed, was accepted,
and married the heroine. The effect has
Vveu wonderful. Hopeful young Indies
may now be seen standingin flic vicinity
of street crossings with one eye sesrebing
