the farm house, or riding on hoi-seback, his
medicines in the saddle-bags, arriving on
the ninth day of the fever, and cioming in
to take hold of the pulse of the patient,
while the family, pale with anxiety, are
Iqpkiiig on and waiting for his decision in
t'cgs.rd toftbe patient, and hearing him sav:
“Thank God, I have mastered the case, he
Is getting well,” excites in me,an admira
tion quite equal to the mention of the names
of the great metropolitan doctors, Pancoast
or Gross or Joseph C. Hutchinson of the past,
or .the illustrious living men of the present.
Yet what do we see in all departments?
People not satisfied with ordinary spheres
of work and ordinary duties. Instead of
trying to see what they can do with a hand
of five fingers, they want six. Instead of
UMtal endowment of twenty manual and
pedal addenda, they want twenty-four. A
certain amount of money for livelihood, and
tor the supply of those whom we leave be
hind us after we have departed this life, is
important, for we have the best authority
for saying: “He that provideth not for his
own, and especially those of his own house
hold, is worse than an infidelbut the
large and fabulous sums for which many
struggle, if obtained, would boa hindrance
rather than an advantage. The anxieties
and annoyances that those have whose
estates have become plethoric, can only bo
told by those who possess them. It w ill bo
a good thing when, through your in
dustry and public prosperities, you can
own the house in which you live.
But suppose you own fifty houses, and
you have all those route to collect,
and all those tenants to please. Suppose
you ba\ e branched out in business suc
cesses until in almost every direction you
have investments. The fire bell rings at
night; you rush up sta.rs to look out of the
window to see if it is any of your mills.
Epidemic of crime comes and there are em
bezzlements and abseondings in all direc
tions, and you wonder whether any of your
bookkeepers will prove recreant. A panic
strikes the financial w orld, and you are like
a hen under a sky full of hawks and trying,
with anxious cluck, to get your overgrown
chickens safely unuer wing. After a cer
tain stage of success 1 as been reached you
have to t rust so many important things to
others that you are apt to become the prey
of others, and you are swindled and de
frauded, and the anxiety you had ou your
brow when you were ea fling your first
thousand dollars is not equal to the anxiety
on your brow now that you have won your
three hundred thousand. The trouble with
such a one is he is spread out like the un
fortunate one in my text. You have more
fingers and toes than you know what to do
with. Twenty were useful, twenty-four is
hindering superfluity. Disraeli says that
n king of Poland abdicated his throne am!
joined the people and became a porter to
carry burdens. And someone asked him
why he did so, and he replied: “Upon my
honor, gentlemen, the load which I quit is
by far heavier than the one you see me
carry. The weightiest is but a straw when
compared to tout world under which 1
labored. I bare slept more iu four nights
than 1 have during all my reign. I begin
to live and te be a king myself. Elect
whom you choose, for me who am so well it
would be madness to return to court.”
“Well,” says somebody, "such overloaded
persons ought to be pitied, for their worri
liients are real and their insomnia aud their
nervous prostration are genuine.” I reply
that they could get rid of the
surplus by giving it away. If a man has
more houses than he can carry without
vexation, let him drop a few of them. If
his estate is so great he cannot manage it
without getting nervous dyspepsia from
having too much, let him divide up with
those who have nervous dyspepsia because
they cannot get enough. No! they
guard tbeir sixth finger with more
care than they did the original five. They
go limping with what they call gout and
know not that, like the giant of my text,
they are lamed by a superfluous toe. A few
of them by large charities bleed themselves
of this financial obesity and monetary ple
thora. but manv of them hang on to the
hindering supe fiuity till death, and then as
they are compelled to give the money up any
how, in their last will and testament they
generously' give some of it to the Lord, ex
pecting. no doubt, that he will feel very
much obliged to them. Thank God that
once in a while we have a Peter Coojier
who, owning an interest in the iron works
at Trenton, said to Mr. Lester: “1 do not
feel quite ea-y about the amount we are
making. Working under one of our pat
ents, w e have a monopoly which seems to
uie something wrong. Everybody has to
come to us for it, and we are making money
too fast.” So they reduced the price, anil
this while our philanthropist was building
Cooper Institute, which m thers a hundred
institutes of kindness and mercy all over
the land. But the world had to wait five
thousand eight bundled years for Peter
Cooper. lam glad for the benevole.it in
stitutions that get a legacy from men who,
during their life, were as stingy as death,
but who, in tbeir last will and testament,
bestowed money on hospitals and mis-
sionary societies; but for such
testators I have no rvsjieet. Tlioy would
have taken every cent of it with them if
they could, and bought up half of heaven
and let it out at ruinous rent, or loaned the
money to celestial citizens at 2 per cent a
month and got a corner on harps and
trumpets. They lived in this world fifty or
sixty years in the presence of appahiug
suffering and want and made no effort for
their relief. The ehaiitiei of such people
are tor the most part in “paulo-post future”
tense and they are going to do them. The
probability is that if such a one iu his last
will by a donation to benevolent societies
tries to atone for his life-time close-fisted
ness. the heirs at law will try to break the
will by proving that the old man was
senile or crazy, and the expense of the
litigation will about leave iu the
lawyers’ hands what was meant
fir the American Rible Society. O ye over
" righted successful busi oss men, whether
this sermon reach your ear or your eye, let
me say that if you are prostrated wth
anxieties about keeping or iuve-tmg these
tremendous fortunes, I can tell you how
you can do more to get your health back
and your spirits raised than bv drinking
callous of bad-tasting wator at Saratoga,
Homburg, or Carlsbad —give to God and
humanity the Bible 10 per cent, of all your
income, and it will make anew men of
you, and from restless walking of tho floor
at night you shall have eight hours sleep
without the help of bromide of potassium,
and from no appetite you will hardly be
able to wait your regular meals, aud your
wan cheek will fill up, and when vou die
tbe blessings of th we who but for vou
would have perished will bloom all over
your grave with violets, if it be or
gladiolus, if it be autumn.
Per imps some of you will take this advice,
but the most of you will not. And you will
try to cure vour swollen hand by getting
oil it more fingers, and your rtieuinutic foot
by getting on it more toes, and there will
be a sigh of relief when you ure go ie out of
the world; and when over your remains the
minister recites the win ds: "Blessed are the
dead who die in the Lord,” poisons who
have keen appreciation of the ludicrous will
hardly be aide to keep their faces straight.
But whether in that direction tuy words
do good or not. I aui anxious that all who
have only ordinary equipment be t.iaukful
lor what they have and rigntiv employ it.
1 think you all nave, figuratively as well as
literally, fingers enough. Do not long for
hindtriug superffuitie . Standing in the
Sresence of this fallen giant of my t xt aud
i this post mortem examination of him,
let us learn how much bet
ter off we are with just t e usual
band, the usual foot. You have thanked
God for a thousand things, hut I warrant,
you never thanked him for thoso two im
plements of work and locomotion, that no
one but the infinite and omnipotent God
could have ever planned or made, the hand
and the foot. Only that soldier or that me
chanic who in a battle or through machin
ery has lost them knows anything about
their value, and only the Christian scien.ist
can have snv appreciation of what divine
masterpieces they are. Sir Charles Bell,
the Engliii surgeon, on tbe battlefield of
Waterloo, while engaged in amputations of
the wounded, was so impressed with tbe
wondrous construction of Mie human hand
that when the Earl of Bridgewater gave
forty thousand dollars for essays on the wis
dom and goodness of God. and eight books
were written, Sir Charles Bell wrote his en
tire book on the wisdom and goodessoi L"<l
ns displayed in Hie human hand. The
twenty-seven bones iu hand and wrist
with cartilages and ligaments and
phalanges of the lingers all mado just ready
to knit, to sew, to build up, to pull down,
to weave, to write, to plow, to pound, to
wheel, to battle, to give friendly salutation.
The tips of its fingers are so many tele
graph offices by reason of their sensitive
ness of touch. The bridges, the tunnels,
the cities of the whole earth are the victo
ries of the hand. The hands are uotdunib,
but often speak as distinctly as the lips.
With our hands we invite, we repel, we
invoke, we entreat, we wring them in grief
or clap them in joy, or spread them abroad
in benediction. The malformation of the
giant's hand in the text glorifies the usual
iiaiid. Fashioned of God more exquisitely
and wondrously than any human meeliani
cisin that was ever contrived, 1 charge you
use it for God ami the lifting of the world
out of its moral predicament. Employ it
in the sublime work of gospel handshaking.
You can see the hand is just made for
that. Four fi gers just set right to
touch your neighbor’s hand on one
side and your thumb set so as ■to
clench it on the other side. By all its bones,
and joiuts, and muscles, and curtilages, and
ligaments, tlm voice of nature joins ith
the voice of God commanding you to shake
bauds. The custom is as old as tie Bible,
anyhow. Jehu said to Jehonadab: “Is
thy heart right as my heart is with thine
heart? If it be, give me thine hand.” When
bauds join in Christian salutation a gospel
electricity thrills across the palm from
heart to heart, and from the shoulder of
one to the shoulder of the other. (Shake
bands all around. With the timid and for
their encouragement, shake hands. With
the troubled and la warm-hearted sym
pathy, shake hands. With the young man
just entering business and discouraged at
the small tales and the large expenses,
shake hands. VV ith the child who is new
from God and started on an unending
journey for widen he needs to
gather great supply of strength, and
who can hardly reach Up to you now, be
cause you are so much Ia! ler, shake bands.
Across cradlesand dying beds and graves,
shako hands. With your enemas who have
done all to defame and hurt you, but whom
you can afferd to forgive, shake hands. At
the door of churches where people come in,
and at the door of churches where people
go oul, shake hands. Let pulpit shake
hands with pew, and Sabbath day sha e
bands with week day, and earth shake
bauds with heaven. Oh the strange, the
mighty, the un tetined, the mysterious, the
eternal power of an honest handshaking. The
difference between these times and the
millennial times is that now some shako
hands but then all will shake hands, throne
and foot-stool, across seas, nation with
nation, God and man, church millitant and
church triumphant.
Yea, the malformation of this fallen
giant’s foot glorifies the ordinary foot, for
which l fear you have never once thanked
God. Ihe twenty-six bones of the foot are
the admiration of the anatomist. The arch
of the foot fashioned with a grace and a
poise that Trajan’s arch at Beneventum, or
Constantine’s nreh at Home, or arch of
Triumph at the end of Champs Elysees
could not equal. Those arenas stand w here
they were planted, but this arch of the
foot is an adjustable arch, a yielding arch,
a flying arch, and ready for movemeats in
numerable. The human foot so fashioned
as to enable man to stand upright as no
other creature, and leave the hand that
would otherwise have to help in balancing
the body free for anything it choses. The
foot of the camel fashioned for the sand,
the foot, of the bird fashioned for the tree
branch, the foot of the bind fashioned for
the slijqiery rock, the foot of the lion
fashioned to rend its prey, the foot of the
horse fashioned for the solid
earth, but the foot of man
made to cross the desert, or climh the
tree, or scale the cliff, or walk the earth, or
go anywhere he needs to go. With that
divine triumph of anatomy in your posses
sion, where do you walkln what path of
righteousness, or wliat path of sin, have you
set it down? Where have you left t mark
of jour footsteps! Amid tne petrifactions
iu the rocks have been found the mark of
the feet of birds and l easts of thousands of
years ago. Aud (iod can trace out all tho
footsteps of your lifetime, and those you
nude lifty years ago are as plain as those
made in the lust soft weather, all of them
petrified for the judgment day. Oh, the
foot! How divinely honored, net only in its
construction, but in the fact that (foil rep
resents Himself in the Bible as having feet:
‘■The clouds on the dust of His feet;”
"Darkness was under His feet;” “Tue
earth is My footstool.” And repre
senting cyclones, and eiiroelydons, and
whirlwinds, aud hurricanes, as winged
creatures. He describes himself as pu ting
his foot upon these monsters of the air an I
walking from pinion to pinion, saying:
“He walketh upon the wings of the wind,”
“Thou hast put all things under his feet,”
cries the p almist. Oh, the foot! Oive me
the autobiography of your foot from the
time you stepped out of the cradle until to
day and I will tell your exact character
now and what are your prospects for the
world to come. That there might be no
doubt about the fact that both these pieces
of divine mechanism, hand and foot, belong
to Christ’s service, both bands of Christ
and both feet of Christ were spiked on the
cross. Right through the arch of both his
feet to the hollow of his footstep went the
iron of torture, and from the palm of his
hand to the back of it. and there
is not a muscle or nerve or
bone among the twenty-seven bones
of hand and wrist, or among the
twenty-six bones of the foot, but it belongs
to him now and forever. Charles lire le,
the great writer, lost the joint of 1 1 is fore
finger by feeding a bear. Look out that
your whole hand gets not into the maw nt
the old Cerberus of perdition. Sir Thomas
Trowbridge, at the battle of liikerniann
lost his toot, and when the soldiers would
carry him away, he said: “Mo, Ido not
move until the battle is won.” 80, if our
foot be lamed or lost, let it be in the serv-
ico of our God, our home or our country.
That is the mod beautiful foot that goes
aboutputhsof greatest usefulness, anil that
tbe most beautiful hand that does the most
to help others. I was reading of three
women who were in rivalry about the ap
pearance of the hand. And the one red
dened her hand with berries, and said the
beautiful tinge made hers the most beauti
ful. And another put her hand iu the
mountain brook, and said as the e aters
dripped off that her hand was the most
beautiful. And another plucked flowers off
the bank, and under the bloom contended
that her hand was the most attractive.
Then a poor old woman appeared,
and looking up in her decrepitude asked
for alms. And a woman who lad Dot
tuken part in the rivalry gave her alms.
And all the women resolved to leave to this
b ggar the question as to which of all the
hands present was the most attractive, and
sliesaid: “The most beautiful of them all
is the one that gave relief to my necessities,”
and as she >o said her wrinkles and rags
and he • decrepitude and her body disap
peared, ami in place thereof good the
Christ who long ago said: “Inasmuch as
ye did it to one of thy least of thcs •, ye did
■' to Me!” and who to puicliase the rervica
of our hand and foot here on ea’ tli or int ie
resurrection state had his own hand anil
fool lacerated.

London, Sept. 12. —“No, dear lady, you
had spoke up for us, and we wa’nt a goin’
back on you. ” *
It was a strange assemblage and a strange
assembling place.
Through Old Ford and Tiger Buy, thread
ing squalid streets suggestive of garrote
robbery and East London tragedy at every
turn, in pitchy darkness, broken by the
glare of lamps from public house windows;
pel toil by the dismal downpour of a dogged
Briti-h rain; up u dingy court where the
houses leaned to meet one another over
head, up again a ragged staircase to the top
of a tumble-down building, into a large
bare room filled with eager woman’s faces.
Women gaunt, ragged, with kercliiefs
knotted loosely about their throats and hair
straying into their eyes. Women young,
pale, thin, undersized; girls who have not
eaten meat once a month in years. Women
older, whose youth was spent under better
co dltions, stronger in health, more vigor
ous, more resistant. Women rough-look
ing and rough iu tone one ami all. but not
without a cei tuin directness, a frankness
and an intelligence of their own, as if some
thing might ba made of them under whole
some life conditions.
Two or three of them are talking at once,
and they address a woman in a gown of
some sofr, gracefully fitting yellow stuff
wno sit-at it little table, fcibe is a woman
w.th a fine intelligent face which bears m re
marks of pain than of joy. Londoners call
her that atheist, that alien t > all which
church and state hold sac ed. but here she
is as a queen in her court, for this is Aunie
Besaut, and the others are Bryant A May’s
mulch girls, whose victory in their strike
la .1 month lias given such an impetus to the
organization of workingwomen in Great
Britain as the trades have never seen be
fore.
It is Monday night, the regular meeting
night of the newly organized Mutch Girls'
Union. There are nearly 700 names on the
Match Girls’ books and fully 500 of the
number are packed into the meeting room.
They r are not collecting dues nor 'uiking
over grievances to-night, for this is jubilee
evening. Five minutes ago three poorly
clad but sturdy women went awkwardly
down the aisle and awkwardly placed ii
Mrs. Besant’s hands a gold penholder and
pen, bought out of the earnings of girls who
hardly average 5 shillings aud (1 pence a
week, hut zealously- subscribed for as a
memorial of the tight that is over, the
union that is and the better times that are
to be.
One of them is speaking. She hesitates
and stammers, Bhe never addressed an au
dience before.
“We went to the ’Ouse uv Commons and
we told ’om we 'ns robbed of a penny in
every shilling. We marched the streets and
wo said as ’ow we’d never go back till they
stopped the fines. And they stopped ’em.
They ’ad to do it. We’nl got our pennies
We’m got ourunion. We'm gotthe biggest
union of women iu all Heugland. Weaio’t
got our wages. Some of you get 2 shillings
ha’ penny a week and some gets 4 stiillings
tu’ pence. Some get li shillings 8, but, there
ain’t one as gets over 1:1 shillings a penny.
We lived on bread and tea and niaybs a
bloater for Sunday, au’ likely to 'av tho
pboosy (phosphorus) jaw any day. But
we’m got our union. An’ now we want a
’ouse. We want a ’ouse where we can
come 'o nights, where we can do our bit sew
ing and our bit talkin’ and maybe our bit
singiu’ and the like; where folks like the
dear lady here,” turning to Mas. Besant,
“can come an’ talk to us and where we can
be a real club to ourselves.”
Such a cheering and waving of handker
chiefs as followed. The match gilds are
thoroughly waked up. They have the
largest trades union of women yet organ
ized in London, and they are to have a
union headquarters. With the money real
ized train the match girls’ benefit given by-
Grace Hawthorne at the Princess theater as
a nucleus, subscriptions are going rapidly
forward, and the prospects are that a heme
for the union, whero its business will be
transacted, where a reading room can be
opened, where there may be a piano anil
ri creation rooms, will be built in East Lon
don before winter sets in.
The match girls, in helping themselves,
have helped all the w orking women of Eng
land. The organization of trades unions
for women is not anew thing here. Mrs.
Patterson, the wife of u cabinet maker,
started unions in several trades fourteen
years ago. Through her efforts were organ
ized the Women’s Trades Union Provident
League, which devotes itself to the forma
tion of trade societies among women and
publishes the Women’s Union Journal as
its organ. Mrs. Patterson worked for
women’s ur ions while she lived and since her
. death a building fund, now amounting to
*4,000, has been started for the erection of a
memorial hall, which should be n good cen
tral office for the work of organizations iu
London.
The present secretary of the Women's
Trades Union loiagne is Miss Clementina
Black. Miss Black is a young and band
si me Englishwomen of the be.-t tvoe of the
rosy, clour-skinned, vigorous English breed.
She is a forceful speaker mill a cultivated
writer, whose influence would make itsnlt
widely felt in any work which she might
undertake.
iSiitiiig overa cupof tea it is curious how
one’s prejudices against lea melt iu this bar
barous climate-- green England,thou art wet
England, too—ou a rainy afternoon, high
up above the noise of High Holborn, Miss
Black ran over with me tbe records of the
women’s unions thus far formed. Through
the help of the league the women engaged
in bookbinding have been organized ill
London and in Dublin. The women tailors
have been organized m Ixmdon, Dublin,
Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester and Oxford.
Dressmakers, upholstresses, shirt and collar
makers and sewing machine workers have
been organized in London and Aberdee i.
Stay work has a union in Portsmouth ami
hosiery has one iu Leicester.
Of tbe woman’s trades unions in London
the oldest, und next to tiie match girls’ the
largest,;is the bookbinders’. This was estab
lights! in September, 1874. It lias 50J mem
bers and supports a benefit club with a lee
of I shilling for adini sion, dues of 2 pence
weekly and payment of 6 shillings weekly
during sickness.
Next this in size comes the shirt and col
lar makers' with a membership of 800.
Hanking third is the ujiboistresses" with 200
names ou the hooks. The upliolstresseU so
ciety does not prosper. The women made
good wages in the days when lied "curtains
were urawu and puffed and chair coverings
were flounced and ruttl il and window cur
tain* were feurfiilly and wonderfully got
ten up. But with the tu-to for simpler fur
niture prices for upholstering have gone
down t ill in spite of their union tue women
are not making 10 shillings a week.
The Dressmakers, Milliners and Mantle
ilinkers’ Union is of fair strength, but is
exceeded by the new union of scientific
dreiscuttnrs, iiieniliers of which are required
to present a oertifloats showing t.ist they
have tieen taught regularly a system of out
ting by chart. This society has n giadua ivl
system of entrance fees according to ace,
and its members make tho best wages of any
women unionists in London, seldom t illing
below $lO a week, and sometimes, when of
exceptional capacity earning #1,5 10 a year.
There are threebranc les of the Ta loress’
Union in Loudon and the S -ciety of Chelsea
rieauis reuses is anew organization just
struggling into life.
The union b -sides their nractical work.
bring the women together fer excursions in
sunmie , concerts, readings and tea drink
ing in winter, Each i:a its office, where
me-tings are ht-id every Monday evening,
and winch, in some cases, is open as a read
ing room throughout the week. The Trades
Union League makes it its business to sup
ply the unions with information as to the
demand for working women iu different
trades; its keeps employment registers
open, manages a co-operative store, offers
defrauded women the services of a lawyer
to collect wages, uses its best efforts to pro
mote arbitration in cases of dispute, loans
books to women from a good circulating
library, and last but not least works for
cleanliness and bodily exercise by employ
ing a swimming teacher and running a
women’s swimming club.
In London, as in New York, the c-ffortsof
women to reap some of tbe benefits which
men have gained from organization have
enlisted the co-operation of some of the
liest known and most practical women of
the day. Mrs. Millicent Garrett Fawcett,
Miss Frances Bowel Cobbe, Mrs. Jacob
Bright, Lady Louisa Goldsmid, Mi s Helen
Taylor, Lady Duke, the Rev. Stopford A.
Brooke, and the Rev. H. B. Haweisare only
a few of those who are active in the work
of the Trades Union I*eague. The Countess
of Portsmouth has given money liberally
for tbe establishment of women’s union
headquarters. Lady Goldsmid has main
tained a seaside home for unionists’ vaca
tions and Lady lliike lias kept the libraries
well stocked with hooks.
Little has been accomplished, however,
in comparison with the efforts put forth.
The size of Loudon, and the difficulty for
working women, whose wages seldom ad
mit of train fares, of coming far after
dark, have kept the numb rs down. More
than this, the women of London, in all
trades, are pai 1 such woeful pittances for
their work ami tbe competition for any
work at all is so despairing that hope is dead
mthem, and they have no heart to combine
for their own help. Instead of uniting they
cat one another's throats by undercutting
rates, until in many branches women ore
working, both in factories and at home, for
less than a penny an hour. The more me.)
are thrown out of work the more essential
it becomes for w omen to support themselves
and their families, and the more impossible
it looks to them to sacrifice the chance of a
farthing now for a doubtful penny' by and
by. "If ye’ve no (i pence ahead, and the
man’s got naught to and >, ye must work for
what ye can get or starve, ye can no wait,”
said a woman to me yesterday, a w oman
who is a fairly good tailoress, and who
works sixteen hours a day for 8 pence.
The average wages of working women
over whole districts of London are, accord
ing to the agents of the Organized Chari
ties, less than $2 dll per week. A woman
who earns 83 per week is supposed to be
able to support and my school fees for two
or three children, and a woman who earns
$4 is reckoned bv hei neighbors opulent.
At such prices it is impossible that, unionism
should take easy root. tSuoh workers have
no power to resist. Within the past week I
have talked with women boxmakers, fur
pullers, umbrella workers and needlewo
men, who barely make t! pence a day, 75
cents a week. Any trades union must seek
them. They have no time to seek it.
The most hopeful branch of the Trades
Union League’s work just now is the pro
posed consumers’ league. Parlor meetings
have been held by several wealthy women,
with the object of obtaining pledges from as
many buyers as possible to deal with houses
which will pay better rates for production.
It has been the policy of the league for
some time past to publish monthly lists of
shirtmaking, dressmaking and millinery
firms which pay fair wages to seamstresses.
It is now proposed to extend this plan by
getting a sufficient number of promises
from rich buyers whose trade is valuable to
warraut a direct appeal to the shops to raise
the rates of needlewomen. The plan is in
every respect similar to that proj icted by
Miss"lda M. Van Etteu for the Working
Women’s Socioty of New York, and is one
which will put the sympathy of women for
their working sisters to a practical test.
The action of tbe match girls has put new
life into trades unionism for women and it
is hoped to see many other organizations
spring up in their track. As Miss Black put
it iu her talk with me: “The employer is
not always au ogre, and while one man in
competition with others cannot raise wages,
there are many, who, if women combined
and pressed an advance all along the line,
would be glad to make it.”
Au advance is sadly needed here to bring
the working woman up to the meat stage
of civilization. At present the London
working girl is not a carnivorous animal.

A Rare Find.
From the Albany (Ga.) News and Advertiser.
W. A. Bunch, who resides in W'est
Dougherty, on the Davis place, made a
strange discovery last Saturday. He had
occasion to go through a hammock near his
settlement, and was followed by his faith
ful dog that shadows him wheu he is at
home. In passing near the fence the dog
flushed a partridge and pointed another.
Upon walking up, Mr. Bunch heard the
cheery chirps of little chicks anil saw two
with the female bird, which flew' away
with all the slow of distress usually mani
fested by partridges with young.
The two little chicks, which seemed to be
thriviug, were ciught and taken to the
house, where they have since been kept aud
are doiug finely.
When asked if there were no young
partridges visible, Mr. Bunch replied:
“No, there were no young birds about. I
watched carefully, fori wai unable to ac
count for the very unusual occurrence, and.
to satisfy my curiosity, I examined thor
oughly for young birds, and touud none.”
“How do you account for the singulai
fraternization?” asked a News and Adrer
tiser scribe.
"Well, sir, I confess that I was at first
puzzled, and I investigated to see if it were
possible for two chickens to have been
adopted by the bird, but I could find iu no
way that that could have been likely.
Upon reflection, it seems to me that the
most possible solution of the mysterious find
is that the partridge nested near the house,
and some hen, in ranging far from the
premises, discovered the spot wi#h a nest
egg and laid two eggs in it and changed her
range. When the time came for the
partridge to set, she went at her business
without knowing what was in store for her.
The incubation period for chickens is twen
ty-one days, while for birds is twenty-eight
days. On the twenty-first day the two
lien’s eggs hatched out and the mother bird
left her own prospective brood to care for
what she doubtless thought the preternat
urally early two.”
She Gave All She Could.
from the Ihomaxville (Ga.) Times.
FYauk Winn stepiwd into the limes office
yesterday and said:
“Here is a half dollar,” banding us a
standard silver coin offthe realm of that de
nomination, "which an old colored woman,
Mary Houston, wishes sent to the yellow
fever sufferers in Jacksonville. She could
notsliep last night for thinking about tho
distress there, and rose this morning deter
mined to send this small sum, saved from
her scanty earnings, to the people of Jack
sonville, hoping that it would bring a little
comfort, help and relief to some sick one.”
“Aunt Mary” is au old lime house ser
vant, kind and ueutle, and with a heart as
white as her skin is black. The old woman
has done what she could, and her reward
will be as great as the rich millionaire who
sent a check for *12,000.
