Gen. Campenon appears to have ust discovered that only ofilcera who have reen in active service can legally remain in tbe reserve or territorial army after the age of forty. The Count, who never was in active service, is forty-six. That he has long been allowed to bear a rank he is not entitled to, is the result of an over sight, and thus with the least possible fric tion a political necessity has been satisfied by the war minieter simply scratching out his name from the armylist of this year. —The death of Mr. Pilot, Madame Janauschek's husband, reeal's a story told by Nat Childs, of Bost'-n.wbo wasber it quite manager in this country last year.

When Madame Janauscbek arrived in Pbilrdelphia, one of her favorite cities, from Europe, in 1881, a well known local manager made a social call. Bbe made inquiries concerning a leading man who had supported her two yean before, snd was informed that be was dead. Mad ame Janauscbek expressed her deep re- vret.

Many of the old boys were there, and they kept each other alternately laughing and crying the bigger part of the day, relating, as they recollected them, the incidents in*the history of the com pany. Judge E. H. Potter, at one time, I think, the captain of the com pany, was present and addressed them. The Judge’s speech was able and for cible, and I might say that he has no ambition which might not l>e realized, were it in thopower of the members of the McDuffie Rifles to give it. The reunion passed off very pleasantly, thfere being plenty ofbread and barbe cue for every ono present.

Some weeks ago the attention of our household was directed to an old well some little distance from the house, b rather an imploring and pitiful bar] and howl of a dog. W. J. and others of the family went to the well and found a dog in tho well some twenty five or thirty feet deep. A noose was made and the dog pulled out. Some two weeks Jater our attention was again attracted by a similar bark and howl. This time much nearer the house, and we pro ceeded at once to see from whence the cry for help catu$, and sure enough, the identical canine was found in an other unused well near tho lot, thirty or forty feet deep. The ropes were again lowered as before, and when it was u|>on a level with the head of the anxious dog, he deliberately put his head in the nalter which was drawn, and when sufficiently tight was again pulled out, whereupon the tail was wagged in token, it seemed, of his grat itude for timely aid. On examina tion, an old turkey hen and a “fry ing sized’ 1 chicken, it was discovered, had taken quarters with the old fellow. The explanation as to the cause of the association of the trio is, that ^ho first named, and hero of the occasion, was evidently out on a foraging expedition. There was a china tree which had been blown across the well wbere Die turkuy and chicken roosted. He evidently missed his aim to catch his game, and down all went in the well. e~» TThttiTt is do ,, ““reI*Wnd or ..1.1 woman’s JSJ >r ‘T*re>l fiy » edentitic •. with a full taowlefir* of Ihe -f dkSSS. 0 * ,T.

The sea lioness in Druid Hill Tark succumbed yesterday to the foul water to which she wm confined, and died shortly alter 8 o’clock in the morning, an hour and a half after a large break fast. She had not nuuticated food since Thursday. Ordinarily she gave ■ snapping, grinding motion of the jaws before swallowing, but this wm recently omitted snd she bolted her food. She bad a very sore month for lonr or five days before her death. Af ter supper Monday night she got on shore, drew herself up injt heap, and wm evidently in great pain, trembling and shaking her flukes. When taking her lMt breakfast tbe wm still in I fearful condition, though she bolted flglt rapidly. In dying she wm taken with cramps and struggled from the land out to tbe deepest part of the pond, where she died in a great flurry hut without a cry. Grappling irons were brought into requisition, hut slipped from her glossy skin. Messrs, Bowcrsock and Fitzpatrick, of the park force, swam out, and diving to the bottom of the pond, about 17 feet deep, brought her up. Bite wm buried near the pond. The cub nursed hut on Monday even ing. He was terribly grieved st the death of his mother. When her body wm taken out he stood erect; later put a fluke on the fence and tried to scale it. It wm a hard thing to catch him. Messrs. Bowersock and Fitzpat rick swam after him for a long time, lie would nearly permit them to touch him, when he would dive and come up at the far cud of the pond. When lie got tired he showed tight. Finally, after being exhausted by the long-con tinued chase, he wm cornered. Cap tain Cassell caught him by the neck and held him until he was put in a sling. He was taken to the sheep pen and pnt in a brick trough two feet wide, two feet deep and eight feet long, with plenty of running water. Mack erel, cut np very fine, waa given him, but he would not swallow it, and spit it out. He was tried with s sucking- bottle like a baby, but bit it in two. He wm held, and about a pint aud a half of cow's milk put down hla throat. He shows tight, and is vicious. His mouth is full of teeth. He has grown ten inches in length since he came to Baltimore. He will have to be kept in seclusion for a few days. Notwith standing the rain yesterday, ladies, and children in carriages came in to seethe little orphan, but were not per mitted to see him. lie was in a sound sleep, snoring loudly, with an atten dant keeping llies'off him. The little fallow sighed heavily in his sleep. The failure of the park commission ers to have paved the pond in which the sea lions were kept is the subject of popular remark. About *30f; woold have covered the expense, sad ar rangements were made to hare the I-ond paved after the death of the first sea Uon, but they were never carried out. The tint sea lion died, like tbe one yesterday morning, immediately after a rain-storm. The drainage from tlio surrounding lands made the wat. r _ .in tho pond chocolate color.
