Startling Testimony in a «»* Insurance Caso at Pittsburg. Pittsburg, Nov. 18.—In the United States circuit court the case of the Peo ple’s Fire Insurance company against D. W. H<v’t was placed on trial. The case involves about $120,000, There are sixseen similar cases against Holt, which will probably be decided by this one. The present suit is to recover $3.- 500, paid to Holt on a fire insni a ice policy. Holt was a lumber merchant in Philliiisburg, Pa., and had a largo lumber yard. Some time ago it was destroyed by fire and Holt recovered $120,000 insurance. He had bi*:»n in sured for $125,000, apportioned vmong a number of insuTMtc ’ companies. It is now claimed by the plaintiff that Holt net fire to, or caused to be set on fire, the lumber, to get the insurance; also, that by frand he made his books show that he bad on hand about twice as much lumber as he actnally had at the time of the fire. A. B. Carpenter, a former employe of Holt, was placed on the stand, and his testimony was of a highly sensational character. He testified that Holt .ia i iustrnoted him that, when he wa- nr?- -ting liis daily returns to the book keeper of the num ber of feet of lumber, he was to in crease the amount er.ch day until the entire amount given ma-le the total aLout twice that on h i. This done, he said that Holt had i> d* a proposi tion to hint that if i n would fire the lnmber he (Holt) would give Lira a quar ter interest in the br.si ess and 10 per cent, of tho insurance, which proposi tion he agreed to. Witness then ex plained how he prepared boxes satu rated with oil to fire the yard, conclud ing as follows: "On the night of August 21, 1882. Holt came to me about 7 o’clock and told me that it was time to finish the work up. Holt then left," said the wit ness, "and I fired the boxes. ” Carpen ter then tohl how the crime bad preyed npon his mind, and he could get no rest day or night from a guilty conscience; how it had transformed him into an old man, his sufferings finally becoming so great tha't he sent to the sheriff and confessed all. * J Pi'rim-ntal stations and fanners’ in ’“Ultra established, h:ul effect on local lax levies, caused reform bal- «t la v .o i,. p vi.-ie 1, has increased state J'protiriatiuii for schools, fostered free NncHtioii. etc. i ru; he'.nand copies of a pamphlet, J^gaiiMtorv of what the order has Cw >'i'!>lishi> 1, has been printed for dis- "i “ i new territory and territory ;“. re tin* order is weak: ( following resolutions were u l i'i"<ti»g the president of the i* r t‘,‘ S a ' e< n, ' t *° appoint any corpo- yn l.cv vi ;. to a judge-hip. ^ M'os'.ng the opening of the Colutn- 1 »xp isiuon on Sunday. ..

Dresden was recommended to me as a place both cheap to live in and of fering unusual facilities for art study. I accordingly went there. Without a chaperon? Certainly. 1 was to be a per son of affairs, and what was a business woman to do with so costly, not to say inconvenient, an appendage as a chape ron? All winter I studied and copied in the gallery, and when summer came 1 took the little steamboat which runs up and down the Elbe, bowing its smoke stack so deferentially to all the bridges, aud hunted up picturesque castles to sketch. Lieben-felsen” was the beantifnl old scbloss I fell specially in love with, so 1 finally persuaded an old conple who lived near it to take me to board for a few weeks. They had rather a nice lit tle honse and a garden that sloped down to the water’s edge. There, under the overhanging treys, I used to sit for hours gazing np at the massive towers just on the other side of the castle wall. Now and then a feeliug-of loneliness swept over me, and my heart yearned for some of the pleasures of my joyous past One morning 1 asked my landlady if any of the numerous German laws would be infringed if 1 should go iu swimming At first she declared I would drown ini mediately, bnt when 1 assured her that I had known how to swim since a child, she finally consented, with a protest as to the general nnnsnalness of American behavior. How refreshing it was! What happi ness to plnngo fearlessly into the cool, clear water! Not a living soul was to be seen; not a sound to be heard. Suddenly a great splash startled me. I felt my bathing dress seized between the shoul ders and myself dragged vigorously out of the water npon the bank. I was thor onghly terrified, bnt fortnnately made no resistance. As I looked np an enor mous head appeared and a large pair of eyes gazed inquiringly into mine. I had always loved dogs, bnt this mon strous disturber of my peace was so for midable that 1 dared not move. He, too, was motionless; and 1 read on his collar the name, "Hector.” At last 1 raised my hand very’ gently and patted him on the neck, and to my infinite relief 1 per ceived a slight vibration in the tip end of his tail. Just as I was wondering how far 1 dared presume npon that friendly symptom he lapped nis rough tongue all over my face. Then I sat np and laughed, and he jumped and frolicked, as large as a yonng lion, as gentle as a kitten. Presently 1 tried to go back into the water, bnt to this he forcibly objected and I was obliged to submit. When returned to the honse be accompanied me, to the terror of my hostess. "He belongs np at the scbloss,” she explained the yonng graf is away traveling, and almost ail the servants are afraid of him.” Poor fellow, I thought; he has been lonely, too; that is what we read in each other's eyes. After that Hector and were inseparable. He came every day and we explored all tlie surrounding country together. I am sore be thought —yes, thought, just as mnch as yon or can think—that he saved my life a:; consequently ought to appoint hims my guardian. To me he seemed liite a living link to the beautiful old castle, a protector and faithfnl friend. One morning as we were returning from a long walk 1 saw advancing that always novel sight to American eyes, a woman and a dog harnessed together, dragging a cart. In this instance the cart wap fnll of vegetables. It was evi dently a market fratt taking produce to town. Now Hector was a true.knight. valiant, loyal and gentle, bnt lie pos- aiso that other characteristic of kuighthood, he brooked no intruders; and no sooner did one of his kind appear than be challenged him to combat. 1 j his knightly powers had been duly es tablished, and he quieted down in a deferential sort of way, as if be were only consenting to it on my account Tben tho market woman began to wail that her wares were spoiled and she might as well go home; but when I gave her some money, and the gentleman kindly added some too, she harnessed herself and her dog again and resumed her journey. Then I turned to thank my preserver. Hector, whose collar 1 still held, was restlessly dragging me forward, so we walked on together. I am so sorry,” I began, "that my dog should have made snch trouble.” He smiled. "Happily," he said, "the damage was not irreparable.” "1 am very mnch obliged to yon for interfering jnst now,” I went on rather excitedly: "it gave me a chance to bring Hector away.” It 'rfas courageous of yon to do it,” he replied. "He is a huge beast for yon to defy.” "Well.” 1 protested, "he would not hart me. He is such a noble fellow, and we are very fond of each other, Hector and L Indeed, he has been my best friend all summer.” He looked down on me and smiled again. "1 am glad of that,” he said, ‘for Hector is my favorite dog.” This, then, was the count, and I had been claiming his property. No wonder Hector had qnieted down at his voice! He ninst have read the disappointment and mortification in my face, for we had jnst arrived at the castle gates, and Hec tor had bonnded away into the grounds, when he raised his military cap with graceful courtesy and said’ "Fraulein, we shall let Hector choose between us. If he prefers yon I shall never claim him. and shall moreover admire his taste.” He walked toward the gate while 1 went on; but Hector rushed ont past him to me and whined pathetically, then he ran back |o the count and stood defiantly in his pain; To hnwor him his master came out again, aud I turned and faced him. Hector's joy was unbounded. He jumped aronnd ns both wildly, and showed by every sign iu his power thai he had no intention of "cleaving to thi one and forsaking the other.” It was si. evident and so amusing that we both laughed heartily, wiiich seemed to estab lish a friendliness at once. He is determined we shall not part fraulein: will yon permit us both to ac company yon home?” They did so, an>. on the way 1 assured the conut of my in testion to return shortly to the city, when he wonld probably have his favor ite’s undivided affection again. The next morning, when I took in.' accustomed place out under the trees Hector soon came trotting gayly along the bank, holding in his month a smuh object of dark blue and red cloth, whicl he deposited at my feet. I picked it up it was a military cap! You may call it accident if you like, and say any dog wi! pick up a hat and carry it off, but yoi will see how mistaken you are. Afte; awhile Hector’s tail, as he lay at my side, began to hammer the ground with grati fied thumps, and I looked np question-- ingly. The count came toward us laugh ing—to g*-t his cap, lie said, but he must have forgotton itis purpose, for he staid to watch me sketch, and the next day hi came again, and the next. 1 did not return to Dresden as soon as l had intended. Indeed, I finally decided not to return at all, but to make my home in the beautiful old castle. I had always been opposed to American girls marry foreign noblemen, and the count had bad, he told me, a most disapproving opiuion of American girls in general but, you see, Hector had made up his mind—yes his mind, not to spare either of os, and he is such a fine fellow, we could bnt acquiesce in the matter.—Our Animal Friends.

In the prairies of the west there grows a plant which proves of great valne to the wanderer. It is described as a dwarf variety of the osier, is perennial, attains usually a height of 3 feet 6 inches and has a head of yellow flowers. The help it renders the traveler arises from the fact that the long leaves at the base of the stem, which are placed, not flat as in plants generally, but in a vertical posi tion, present their edges north and south This peculiar propensity of the foliage of this plant is attributed to the fact that both surfaces of its leaves display an equal receptivity for light All the other known varieties of its class are characterized by the presence on the lower surface of their leaves of from twice to thrice as many respiratory ves sels as are contained on the upper sur face. which is therefore the more send tive of the two to the influence of light. But both surfaces of the compass plant are clothed alike with an epidermises ceptionaiiy receptive of light; and the same instinct of its leaves that prompts tl.-ni to rviji irc nn equal distribution of i . f j at upon cither surface causes them to assume a vertical position and to point their edges dne north and south. Trav- rb-i-H on dark nights are said to feel the edges of the leaves to ascertain the points of the compass when no other means are available for helping them on iheir way. Longfellow refers to the compass piant in “Evangeline.”—Brook lyn Ei«gJe. Dinah’s Prayer.
