The official organ of the city of Palis contains the decree adopt ing the three children ot Oihvier Pam. The motive of that meas ure, as set forth in the preamble, is hat it is the duty of the city to take under its protection the chil dren of a man who resided for many years in Paris, and who was by hit acts aud wnttingß an ardent servant es the Xtaaocraey. A WESTERN GHOST STORY. The following strangb story comes from the city of Burling ton, lowa, and is vouched tor by responsible parties. There lives a few miles out from Burlit gton, in one of tne suburban towns, a merchant called Jones, who, every few mombs, goes ituo the city to replenish his stock of goods. Last May he wet to Burlington for that purpose, and arriving late iu the afternoon, went direct to the hotel he was in the habit of stopping at and registered He told the c'erk he wanted his old room, No, 34. and to have it all ready, as he would not be in until late, for he expected to visit (he different stores, select his goods, and then finish up so as to take the morning train for home The clerk told him he could have the room, but wonld have for a bed fellow a Methodist preacher, who had already been assigned to that room He replied that it made no difference so he would leave he door unlocked. He was out mak ing his purchases and came in very late—a few minuies after 12 o'clock, mid-night. TEe light was turned down pretty low, and he proceeded to undress and get ready for bed. Hi- noticed that bn bedfellow had nothing but a sheet over him, and, although it was Dot warm, it was not very cold, and ha conc'uded that, if a Methodist minister could stand it with a sheet as his covering, he could aud so he got in. He was almost asleep when he heard his door open, and, on looking up, saw a young man aud ludy enter and take seats on 'Lie opposite side of the room. They had hard ly entered when the young man commenced to make loveto the latest approved fashion—kissing her, and telling her he would die fur her, swim riveis and kill men. Jones says it got so amusing that be poked his bedfellow in the ribs to awaken him that he might enjoy the fun, thinking it would be as amusiug to a preacher as to any other mortal The preacher showed no signs of awakening, and the love-making went on sfronger than ever. He punched again aud again, bat failed to awaken his friend, At last the pair goi so far along that Jones could stand it no longer, and, af ter giving the preacher a kick in the side, raised np and pulled the sheet down off of bis face, so he could see. As he pulled the sheet down his hair stood on end and his face bl nched with honor, for there beside him lay the corpse of a beautiful woman with dark Lair, and wrapped in a shroud, aud a silver dollar on each of Ler eyes. When he recovered from the first shock he sprang from bed, and as he landed on the floor his face was as white he the dead body in the bed, and bis hair on end. The young man went out of the window, taking 'he sasn with him; the woman, with a shriek, tell fainting to the floor, /ones grabs bed the ahair on which were his clothes and started out. As he opeued 'he door he suw bis mis take, as the number was 24 in stead of 34. A few steps, taken in quick time, brought him to 34, and, entering, he made sure that his bedfellow this time was alive.. Ha didn't sleep, and rose earlv and went down to breaktast. Here, in the dining-room, (he a hole conversation was a L out the mysterious action of the corp-e. Some whe entered a few minutes after declated 'he body had never moved,Jas the dollars wexes'ill on here eyes. Others thought tie pair had fallen asleep and ihe man had a dream of a ghost, and rushing through the window, bad frightened the lady. Jobes never said a word, and this is the first time it has ever been told, and no doubt ihe mystery will now be cleaied up. * It appea rs that the body of the dead lady had been placed in No -24, and the young man and young lady were silting up with it. At 12 o'clock, midnight, as is ihe custon out West, ihe watcher* went down to the dining-room for a lunch, which had been spread for them, and daring their ab~ senee Jones, ui his harry, had «u- Our Own Section — H e Labor For ltn Advancement.

AS HAMEL OF HER. In traveling, chance words and incidents sometimes open to us who'e volumes of frapedy For ex., pit, bi'-e t! i ‘t ments noted some yean ago by a passenger ou a railway train in the Wes', on which afrtal accidr n( occurred. A little blonde womau very much over-dressed, was lans guidly nibbling cake and sipping champagne ai her lunch in t) e paiace-car, when her husband en tered. ‘Daisy,’ he said, - vour mother is getting on ihu train.’ •Oh, good gracious, where*’ she exclamed, angrily. He pointed to a tall, ungainly woman in shabby cloth-s, going into a second-class car. Mlad I not butter bring her into this car?’ h« said ‘There are some rough fellows • that o».e.’ ‘Does she know we are on the train?’ ‘No/ •Then never mind. I can’t in troduco mamma to the Schallers,’ glancing at at me of her compan ions The train rushed on, and the womau who had mauied out ol poverty iiUo a fashionable set» while she laughed and jested wi.h her new friends, wore an uneasy face that -bowed her terror lest her moihei should disgrace her Her husband said presently: ‘Your mother will want lunch, Daisy. Suppose I' ‘Oh, lei nor alone! She always takes a brown-paper parcel with ehuncks of bread and Bologna tau age. She likes that sort oi thing.' An hour or two later a jarring crash resounding through the cars. Women sbiieked, and men rushed to the door as the train stopped. A brakenian met them. ‘Keep your seats, gentlemen. Broken rail only.’ ‘Anpbodj hurt?’ ‘Four or five people. One old lady’s a-dyia’. I heard her callin for her daughter that's on the train: ’Maggy! J/aggy!’just now’ Take ketr, ma’am!’ as a little wo man rushed past him. The old lady lay oa a ctay-bank Some men were holding her ten derly enough. A physician, who happened to be on the train, kneeled beside her. Her daugh ter threw herself dowL and drag ged her heard upon her breast. The woman's lips were opened, and ber eyes started as if Beach ing for some one. But she did not call for ‘Maggy’ any more. ‘Do something!' cried her daughter, wildly. Make her speak to me! Mother! mother! it is Maggy! Maggy!’ Madam,' said the doctor, ‘you are too late!’—Youth’s Compan ion. A London paper asserts that the highest velocity yet imparted to a cannon ball is 1.626 feet per second, equ il to a mile in 3:2 sec onds The velocity of the eart h a. tbeexuator, due to roti tior ou its axis, is 1,000 miles per hour, or a mile in 3:6 seconds; thus, if a cannon bill were fifed due west, and could mairtain .its initial ve» ocity, it would neat the sun in its apperaut journey around the earth. The litigation in w aich Myra Clark Gaines spent the most of her life did not end with her death. By one will, dated,four days before ber death, she bequeathed the bulk of ber estate to her son’s widow and to ber deceased daugb ters husband—about SIOO,OOO ercb. Another will was presented by a Mrs. Evans, dated one day before her death, giving one-third of her estate to M r s. Evbds, and the court admited the first to pro bate, a decision which has been confirmed by the Supreme Couit. IN THE COUNTRY LAWYER’S OFFICE. He wanted justice.

A Cincinnati, Ohio special says: People living near Wade and Denman streets, in the West end, bavo for a week or iwo been sub jeoted to singular annoyances On lhat corner is a lumberyard oc cupying marly a square, in which stands an old building, the lower s ory of which is used as a stable. For a h'Dg time this spot has been the home of vagrant dogs. The news of this resort would seem to have spread among the city can’iies, for their liutni ers nave constantly increased, parlic ularlv during the cold spell, when there seemed to be hundreds io the vicinity The dogs are, of course, always hungry, and, bav ing beeu hunted by the bad bovs of the neighborhood, are making the place very dangerous for pass era by In one eving. a day or so ego, a dozen persons were bitten one of whom, Mi-s J/cNutt, had her leg horribly mutilate !. Bhe was carried home and has been )y;ng in a critical condition ever since. The dogs take refuge un der the barn and lumber piles when pursued, and sneak out to bite when unobsetved. Several policeman visited the place Mon day, bu: were unable to do any Lhiug. The neighborhood is thoroughly aroused and so fir as women and children are concern ed, completely terrnized. At nighi a perfect pandemonium reigns, and darkness is rna</ e hedious by ibe growls and fights of ibis singula' aggregation of an imated vagrancy and cusseduess. A movement is on foot to demol ish die barn and lumber piles and exterminate the vicious dogs, os it is feared some of them may have the rabies. The dogs might oasily be poisoned, but in that ea-e more or less would oie un derneath the lumber, where their bodiescould not gei at, and an un bearable stench would be created. A BOY WHO UNDERSTANDS ’EM. The other morning u boy about 14 ye.ys of age knocked a' the door of a bonne on Brush street and asked the woman if she didn’t want the snow cleaned off the walk. ‘How much !’ she cautiously la qnired. ‘Thirty cents.’ •I won’t pay it It you want to do the work for ten cents you can go ahead.' Ho leaned on the handle of his snow shovel anrt looked thought ful, and she finally queried : •Well, what do you say.’ ‘lt’s just as that woman arcurd the corner told ms,’ he replied. ‘I shoveled off her enow and she gave me 50 cents. I told her 1 was coming to ask yon, and she said ’ T don ( knew her. W r hai bus iness is it ohsrf’ ‘Yes, but —’ ‘What d;d she say V ‘She said I’d get left- She said that any woman who wore a plush sacque and p iss it off for a S3OO sealskin would be mean enougli to go out nights and shovel her own enow.’ ‘Boy !’ whispered t e woman as she 'urned white clear around tta nock, I want you to clean off the snow. Wuen you are 'hrougb I’ll gi»e you a silver dollar, and 1 want you (o go around and tell that woman th it any one who buys and wears dollar store jewel ry and fourteen shilling nboes Larin't got sense enough to fall off a bob tailed car.’ In the old days it was the duty of English coronets io holl in quests n< t only on deaths, but on tires, burglaries and robberies. Inquests on fires are Bull held in Northern lerland, and it is now proposed to reintroduce into Lon don the ancient ‘crowner’s quest law in the matter of fires. The pi pular toy on the boule vaids of paris has been the Cri du Blugare, a bit of copper tube, to one end of which covered with I parchment, a stri g is attacked^ ; and when this is diawn through tne finger the instrument emits a I sharp sound, now resembling the croaking of the raven and now ibe 1 sail of (he partridge.

Instances have been known of bubi. s yet in tbeir swaddling clothes who would dig course on all manner of topics. Tn be snre, the drift of their remarks had to be interpretted by a loud mother, but no oue would dure say that baby didn't talk. 1 myself hour 1 a year-old child say a great many things the other day.
