Three Kisses.
Br CLARA B. Taowanmon.
I kiss the dainty fingers
And wish them good success:
May comfort sweet and order
Their skill and cunning bless.
I kiss the feet so tiny,
Unskilled to walk our ways,
And wish them patient courage
To tread life’s tangled maze.
I kiss the little eyelids :
0, Father, guide her sight
Until, all dimness over,
She sees thy perfect light I
A LITTLE COWARD.
That was what Miss Mcrivale had called
her that morning, when she trembled and
turned pale because the black mare reared
with her. She begged Sir Robert to take
her off, and stood in ignominious safety
while Agatha Merivaie mounted Stella and
rode ofi triumphantly down the avenue.
She was a coward. She did not deny it,
and was sometimes very much ashamed of it,
But no one had seemed to mind it, until
Agatha Merivale came, with herbold, dark
eyes and her dashing ways, her riding and
hunting; and everybody admired Agatha so
much, even Sir Robert! '
She almost hated Agatha! You see, until
Agatha came they-had been so happy at De
Rossett. Little orphan Madeleine .Leigh
had never been so happy in her life as here
at the hall with sweet Lady dc Rossett, who
was her guardian. and her son, Sir Robert.
They were so kind and good to her. They
pelted her and loved her so. And now
Agatha had come, and for two weeks had
monopolized Sir Robert and kept the house
in a turmoil of gayety, and laughed at-Lina,
and made her life wretched.
Lina’s maid reported that everybody said
Sir Robert was to marry Miss Merivale.
Lina made a stern resolve that she would run
away from the hall when that event took
place. Runaway! She would run away
now! Not far, though—she was too much
of a coward to venture far into the world
alone; but she would go away across the
fields to “Aunt Margaret’s," As she called
Lady de Rossett’s widowed sister-inlaw,
who lived in a quiet, comfortable house a
mile away from the hall. -
Mrs. Harrington was an invalid, paralyzed
and confined to her bed." She was rather a
grim old lady, and most were inclined to
shun her; but sweet, bright little Lina had
won her way into the old lady’s heart, and
was always welcome at the lodge.
Yes, she would run away to Aunt Marga-
ret’s, and perhaps when she was missed Sir
Robert might feel a moment’s uneasiness
about her. Seizing her hat and a light
shawl, she flew off across the park, calling
Leo, Sir Robert's pretty colley, to go with
her. Lina did not like to cross the fields
alone, being possessed ,by a great terror of
_ bulls; but with Leo she would not mind it
much.
Leo was calmly taking a nap on the front
portieo, but he started up and raced after
‘ her with a joyous bark. But at the little
gate that led from the park into the fields,
Lina was greatly disconcerted by an unex-
pected encounter with Sir Robert and Miss
Merivale, who camelaughing and talking
along the path, both looking bright and
handsome In the golden rays of the setting
sun.
She brushed past them with a hasty "Good
evening,” but Sir Robert turned . back to
speak to her.
“ Where are you going, Lina i" he asked.
“ To Aunt Margaret’s,” she answered, not
looking at him.
“Alone, Lina? Are you not afraid? If
you will wait a little whileI will go with
you," Sir Robert said, Ioofing down kindly
on the girl’s flushed cheeks and averted eyes.
“No, thanks,” Lina answered, hastily,"‘I
will not trouble you. Leo will take care of
me. And you would be late for dinner if
you went with me.”
“May I come for you, then, after din-
ner ?” Sir Robert asked.
“ Thanks; I am not coming back. I shall
stay all night,” was the hurried answer, and
Lina turned to go.
But Sir Robert detained her for amoment.
“Lina,"‘he said, in a low tone, “ what
makes you avoid me so lately ? What have
I done to offend you ?"
Lina raised her blue eyes hastily to his for
one moment, and then dropped them again.
“ I have notavoided you," she said, cold-
ly; “ you have been very much occupied
with—other people. There, I will not de-
tain you.”
She waved her little hand haughtily, and
walked away from him. He watched the,
'pretty, white-robed figure for a moment,
and then Leo came and fawned on him.
“ Leo! Leol” called Lina’s voice.
" Go, Leo,” said his master, and the obe-
dient dog trotted off down the path after the
girl.
It was rather dreary at the “ Lodge” that
evening. Mrs. Harrington was out of hu-
mor, because her agent had failed to call that
day to receive a thousand pounds that she
wished him to deposit for her. And Hark-
ins, her nurse and housemaid, let the servants
all go off to a fair in the village, “where
they will certainly get into mischief," Mrs.
Harrington said.
But when Lina had talked to her and made
her laugh a little, she forgot her grievances,
and chatted away very pleasantly. At ten
o’clock she declared she had laughed till she
was tired, and Lina must give her her drops
and let her go to sleep.
“There! the spoon is gone. Where can
Parkins have put it? Child, would you
mind running down into the pantry and
I would ring for
Perkins, but she told me she wanted to get
up some muslins this evening, and would
come up as soon as she had finished."
Lina did not altogether like to pass down
long stairs and silent entries leading to the
pantry, but she went, and Leo trotted after
her. As she stood in the pantry looking
around for spoons, with’no light but a faint
gleam from the hall lamp, a sound of low
voices caught her ear. .
The pantry was on the ground floor, Its
iron-barred shuttered window looking into a
garden. The sound was outside the window,
and Lina paused to listen. The first ‘word
that caught her startled car:
“A thousand pounds, and all the old wo-
man‘s jewelry and plate!” said a man’s
voice, in a husky undertone. .
“ Yes,” was the reply, in a woman’s vorce
...th voice, Lena knew, of Parkins, Mrs.
Harrington’s model, soft-voiced, lady-like
nurse—“ and there won’t be any trouble
about it,‘because I have let the women go
away to stay all night, and sent the gardener
s errand to Misses brother, 20 miles
03."

“ But this girl that came toenight—what
about her ?” asked the man.
“ on, she will go to her room presently,
and stay there if she is wise. She'd be no
ranco anyway—a silly, timid little thing.
But it’s as well to let her get out of the way,”
said :Parkins, cooly.
“ But, see here, Molly, why not do ltnowr
Then we’ll have more time to get away he-
da light,” said the man. ‘ . ..
“TI tell you it’s not safe before 11 o clock, -

doa may some Wales to. Wait till half-
past 11, and thewest door here will be open.

you are to take me with y‘ou—your wife,
The voices grew“fainter. Evidently the
speakers were moving away from the house.
But Lena had heard' enough. Sick with ter-
ror, she leaned against the pantry wall a
moment, and tried to think. What did it all
mean ? Robbery! murder! ”d no help
near. Her first instinct was to fly out of the
h'ouse and across the field to the Hall. But
her absence would be instantly discovered,
she knew, and then poor Aunt Margaret
would be (alone with those wretchcs.‘ No,
she must not go; but to stand here idle
would do no good. She flow like a bird
along the halls and up stairs, Leo pacing by
her side. At Aunt Margaret’s 'door she
paused, and a sudden thought came to her.
She would send Leo home for‘helpl
“ Where is the spoon, child? How long
you staid. Good heavens! what is the mat-
ter ?" cried the old lady, as she saw the girl’s
white, terrified face. Lina began some
evasive answer, but instantly remembered
that Aunt Margaret must be told the whole
story or nothing could be done to save her.
She did tell it, and Aunt Margaret listened
in silent consternation, and then burst out
impetuously with:
“Good heavens; child!
run right home 7”
“Because I knew Parkins ‘would be up
here in a few minutes and find I was gone,
and then—”
“Ali, well. So you stayed to save the old
woman, if you could. What are you doing.
child? Why don’t you lock the door and
pile things against it? Good God I if I was
just able to rise out of this bed 1”
But Lina did not speak for a moment.
She had found a pcncil and paper, and was
rapidly writing a few words. When she had
finished-:-
“Now," she "said, “when Parkins comes'
tell her I am to sleep on her couch here in
your room, and she must go somewhere else.
I will be back in a moment. Leo !”
Out of the room she darted, and down to
the hall door, which she unbarred and passed.
through. Then, kneeling in the shadow of a
pillar on the portieo, she tied the note tightly

kissed his forehead, and a half sob escaped
her.
“ Is that you, miss?" said a smooth voice
from the hall. “Why, whatever are you
doing in the dark there i”
Lina sprang up as if she had been shot.
“I am sending the dog home," she said, .
speaking quietly, though the throbs of her
heart shook her whole frame. “ He is rest-
less here without his master. “Go home,
Leo—straight home, sir l”
The dog, with one farewell lick of her '
hand, bounded down the steps and vanished .
in the dewy darkness ‘of the summer night. ‘
“ Oh, God! let him go safely and swiftly,” '
prayed the girl in her heart.
Then she went in and helped Parkins bar
the door, and they went together up stairs. '
Aunt Margaret lay very quietly on her pil- 1'
low, but with her black eyes gleaming. .
“Perkins," she said, steadily, as they en-
tered, " Miss Leigh is kind enough to offer
to stay with me here to-night. She will sleep
on your couch, and you, my poor soul, can
go and get a good night's. rest in another
room."
Parkins was silent for one instant, and then
began a series of smooth, polite expostula-
tions, which no one would heed, and finally
the civil nurse prepared the couch for Lina .
and took herself of, observing sweetly:
“ If Miss Leigh will leave the door ajar, I
can hear a call from this'room, and will come
instantly."
“ Thanks, Perkins, but I hope I shall not
have to call you,” said Lina, speaking as
sweet as Parkins herself. '
Then, as Lina glided to the door as soon
as it was closed, she turned, with a face of
dismay, and whispered:
“ The key is gone! She took it when she
was fidgeting in and out with the sheets and
pillows.”
“There is a bolt besides,” Aunt Margaret
answered.
Lina gave a sigh of relief as she slipped
the bolt into the groove, and felt that she
had some little protection against the enemy.
“Now, child,” said Aunt Margaret, “can
you use a pistol ?”
“I never touched one in my life,” said,
I would try."
“ Very well. Take my safe key—it is un-
der my pillow—and unlock the safe.. They-
are just as my husband left them a year ago,
but Robert looked at them the other day,
and said that they were all right. That is
it. Put one-of them on the foot of the bed,
and if those wretches come, try, my dear,
to use it.~ Now put the other here, by my:
left hand. ‘ Thank God! I can use that a
little. Now, what are you doing ? Oh, yes ;'
pile up all you can against the door. There,.
you cdn’t move anything else. Now, come
here, little girl; kneel down by me, and let
us say our prayers together." .
With the old lady’s thin, pallid hand clasp:
ed tightly in her two cold, trembling little
ones, Lina knelt down there, and burying
her face in the pillow tried to pray. ‘
Her petition was not a very coherent one ;
it was only awild, passionate cry for pity
and help, and meantime she was listening;
with every nerve strained, for sounds from
the outside. Alamp burned in the room'.
On the mantelpiecc a softly ticking clock
marked the slow minutes. No other sound
broke the stillness.
Presently a sob shook the girl’s figu re:
She was thinking of Sir Robert and his ten-
der care over her.
Oh, if she had onlynot been so wayward:
and proud this evening, all would have been
well. He would have come for her, and
they would have been safe.
But surely,.sure1y,. he would come yet.
He could not fail-to find the note, and she
knew be'would come to save her. But yet
horrible doubts came to her as to_'whether
the note would reach him. It might be lost,
or Leo might‘wander about and not' get
home until it was too late.
Too late! Lina shuddered and sobbed
again as she thought what that ight mean.
Oh, it was hard to think of dying so help-
lessly, sohorribly, with help so near.
The long minutes crept on, and no sound
came until 11 o'clock had passed. The little
cldck softly chimed the half hour. Then,
in a few seconds, came a scund of stealing
footsteps in the passage, and the knob of
the door was softly turned. ‘ _
Breathless silence in the room. Then a
gentletap at the door. Lina clasped Aunt
Margaret’s hand convulsively, and the old
lady spoke. _ ‘
“ What is that l" she asked, steadily.
"It is me, Parkins, ma’am. Would you
ask Miss Leigh if she will kindly open the
door I’ I have the toothache, and want some
laudanum."
“What a devil it is!" whispered Aunt-
‘Margaret. Then aloud: “ Go down stairs
and get something, Perkins. I cannot trouble
Miss Leigh."
Lina hoped that Parkins would urge the,
point a little. Anything to prolong the par-
Iey and gain time. .
But a whisper in the passage followed, and
then a man’s voice: - '
“Ladies. there’s no use making a row.
Just open the door peacefully, and you won't
be hurt. We’ll break it down if you don’t.”
“What do you want ?" Lena asked, hop-
ing to gain-a little time. A new and gruff

" You know well enough what we wants,
miss. We wants the thousand pounds and
So don‘t boa fool, but just open the door
peacefully, or you'll be sorry."
Lina sprang to her‘feet and seized the pis-
tol. .A flood of color rushed to her cheek
and brow. She had been insulted and
threatened, and indignation overpowered
terror. She went to the door and called out,
quickly and clearly:
“ You’re not coming in. I have sent for
help. Sir Robert and his men will be here
directly. I am armed, and if you do break
the door down, I will shoot you like a dog.”
A moment’s silence followed, then a coarse
laugh, and— '
“All gammon. She hadn't no one to send.
"Break the door down!” in Parkin’s voice;
and heavy blows began to fall upon the door.
It trembled and cracked beneath the battery.
A panel broke, and a man’s hand was thrust
in; the whole door seemed about to fall,
when—bang! bang! came two reports from
Lina's pistol, and a couple of bullets crashed
through the panels, and the besiegcrs paused
abruptly.
"Go away instantly,” called the girl‘s
voice, “ or I will fire again.”
“ One more rush, mate, and we are in,"
yelled the gruff. voice outside. .
What followed was wild tumult and con:
fusion—the crash of breaking panels and
bolts—the fall of the door and furniture Lina
had piled against it—shot after shot from
Lina’s pistol—a yell of pain and rage from
both of them. Tlfe door was down! One.
of the men was in the room. Lina had fired
her last shot, and running to the'bed, snatch-
ed Aunt Margaret’s pistol, and turned to
face the enemy. Suddenly came a wild
shriek from Perkins. Then a voice calling,
“Lina! Lina! I am coming," and Sir Robert
de Rossett hurled himself bodily upon the
ruliian outside the door, prostrated him, and
sprang into the room over his-body. And
this is what he saw: Madeline Leigh, the
"‘ little coward,” with blazing eyes and scarlet
cheeks, and a pistol in her hand, standing
.unflinchingly between Aunt Margaret and a
burly rufiian; and Aunt Margaret herself,
who had not 'turned 'in her bed for a year,
standing on her feet on the floor. Two

She put her arms round his neck after that, :that the burglar sprawled 5311591688 on the
floor. Aunt Margaret sank back on her bed
with a wild “Thank God I” and the little
heroine of the scene lay in Sir Robert’s arms,
in a dead faint.
“on, Robert, why didn’t you come soon-
er ?” shemurmured, half an hour afterward,
when she opened her eyes and met his.
t‘ Don't you know I came as soon as I
found your note?” he said. “ Leo went to
my room, and I found.him there when I
:‘cht the drawing-room, after 11 o’clock.
“Where are those dreadful men i’” Lina
asked, raising her head dizzily and looking
saround with a shudder.
“Never mind them, dear. They were
taken by the‘men who followed me. My
brave little darling! What a heroine you are! ”
Two months later, when Perkins and the
men were brought to trial, Aunt Margaret
walked into the witness-box, and gave her
testimony with grim directness and self-pos-
session. Lina gave her’s with much trem-
bling and some tears; but she looked
intensely lovely, and no one wondered that
Sir Robert was going .to marry her.
The crowd around the door gave her three
cheers as she left the court room, walking
between Sir Robert and his mother, and three
more for Sir Robert, and three more for Lee,
who followed them. ‘
And Aunt Margaret’s wedding present to
Lina was the thousand pounds and the dia-
monds that had been saved by the courage
of “the little coward.”
Annie Louise Cary and Her Sis-
ter.
From the Portland (Mm) Press.
Notwithstanding the announcment in yes-
terday’s papers- that Miss Cary would be
unable to sing in the evening, there was a
large audience gathered in the city hall to
listen to the other'ladies and gentlemen who
had kindly volunteered their services. Miss
Cary herself, attended by Messrs. H. N. J Ose
and A. W. H. Clapp, of thehospital direc-
tors, assisted by Messrs. H. F. Furbish, G. E.
Bird, and Fritz Jordan, received her many
friends in reception hall for an hour preced-
ing the concert, all of whom sympathized
with her in her misfortune and tendered her
their sincere wishes for a speedy recovery.
They assured her, as all our people well may,
from the Atlantic to the Pacific, that the loss
of her voice would be a national calamity,
for, be it remembered, we have but one other
to compare with it an the stage of the world
to-day, that of Mme. Trebelle-Bettini. 0f
the concert itself we have but words of praise.
The progam was selected, the singers were
all in good voice, there were no tedious waits
and no constant encores to double me even-
ing’s entertainment. Mrs. Ada Cary Sturgis
fairly astonished everybody. It is eight years
since she appeared at a public concert in this
city, if we are not mistaken, and her voice
seemed richer, more liquid, and it responded
to the will of its owner with ease and sponta-
niety that generally comes only' with the
greatest culture added to natural advantages.
As she came upon the stage, led by Annie
Louise, there was a tremendous burst of ap-
plause, and as Annie Louie presented her-
,slster to the audience, kissed her hand and
smiled, a great ball seemed to push itself up
into many a throat at the thought of her
many triumphts on that platform, and the
fact that she was delegating to another what
seemed her own by right. How charmingly
Mrs. Sturgis sang Balfe’s “Day is done ;"
with what drainatic simplicity and beauty of
tonb! But it was reserved for “Kathleen
Mavourneen” to stir old associations, and at
last, in response to an encore, the lady yield-
ed and sang “Jeannette’s Choice” in a man-
her that delighted all her listeners.
A man on a New Hampshire railroad ac-
cidently sat down upon a fellow passenger’s
hat and by some means was compelled by the
conductor to pay $4 for It. He then demand-
ed the “ruined” hat, which he had paid for
and was refused possession of it. His next
proceeding was to bring suit against the con.
ductor, and there for the time being the
story rests.

violent that the point went some distance

Connecticut Peaches. '
‘—
A SINGULAR PEACH TREE DISEASE THAT IS
HIGHLY CONTAGIOUS.
Twenty years ago, or even less, peach
' growing was an industry of no little magni-
tude In the Connecticut Valley. just. as to-
bacco growing is now. The fruit, was large,
handsome, and of excellent flavor, equalling,
if not surpassing, the best fruit of Maryland
or Delaware. Theprincipai reason for this
was the short life of the trees. Five years
of hearing was about the average, and then
the orchard had to be replanted. Unless the
grower possessed land enough to keep from
1,000 to 1,500 trees in hearing all thc'time,
he would lose three years between the death
' of the old trees and the time the new trees
came into .full bearing. For several years
Mr. William Platt, of Newtown, has had a
peach orchard in full bearing. He saw that
there was money in the cultivation of the
fruit, and began to demonstrate the truth of
his ideas. He succeeded so well that he at-
tracted much attention from fruit growers.
and among others of Mr. Oliver M. Crdsby,
the special reporter for Fairfield county of
the agricultural department, who has near
Danbury, near Lake Kenosha, one of the
largest peach orchards in the State. He has
now 1,500 trees growing, set ten feet apart.
The New York Sun gives a description of
Mr. Crosby’s methods, and says: 2
A deadly enemy to the peach tree is the
peach borer. Borers will kill a tree in two
seasons. A gentleman in Georgetown, Ct.,
last season discovered one of the parents of
these pests just emerging from a peach tree,
and caught it. He preserved it in alcohol,
and many fruit growers went to see it. It
is a winged insect, similar in appearance to
a wasp. It takes advantage of any knot,
sear or excrescencc on the tree to deposit its
eggs. From the egg is hatched the borer in
the shape of a worm. The Georgetownman
in trying to devise a remedy hit upon the use
of fine woven wire‘ cloth. He takes a piece
four by six inches, and setting it on the
ground wraps it tightly about the trunk, so
that it reaches up aboutst inches; then he
ties a piece of twine around it to make it re-
tain its shape. As the tree grows the mine
is broken, .but the wire protector remains
close to the bark, expanding as the trunk in-
creases in size. This has proved so for an
effectual barrier against the pests. ,
The worst disease to which the peach
trees are subject, and. which annually kill
millions'of trees in Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia, is called the “yellows,” from the
appearance ol the tree. It is said to be
caused by poor soil, and to follow the wesk=
ening of the tree by too heavy crops. '\The
nature of the disease is not exactly known.
It has been proved, however, that it is highly
contagious. It is said that in cutting down
and rooting out a tree suffering from this
disease, it should not be allowed to touch a
healthy tree, for by the Contact of a diseased
branch the blight maybe communicated. It
is also carried allover an orchard by the
pruning knife. When a tree is in the first
stages of the disease, fine, needle-like
branches grow out from the trunk and main
limbs. A cure is said to be effected by put-
ting coal or wood ashes around the base of
the tree in liberal quantities. Prevention is
better than cure, however, and it is prevented
by keeping the tree healthy, and by good
feeding. -
Yet another danger to peach trees in this
latitude is the liability of the trees to blos-
som too early, and the subsequent blasting
of the blossoms by the early cold storms.
The means of preventing this, Mr. Crosby
afilrms, is to keep the frost in the ground as
long .as possible. He effects this. by heavy
mulching and coal ashes.
Some growers allow the trees to bear all
the fruit they will, under the notion of the
more fruit the more money. This is against
the theory of Mr. Crosby.‘ His plan is to
allow the fruit to set, and as soon as it be-
comes the size of a small walnut he picks off
the outside sets. This throws thqstrength
of the tree into the remaining sets, which
become as large as two ordinary peaches and
of better flavor, and consequently command
a higher price.
In brief, Mr. Crosby's method and precepts
are: Keep the tree as short as possible, not
over eight or ten feet at the outside; keep
the branches pruned, so as to render “them
short and stocky; when the fruit is nearly
ripened mulch the trees heavily to keep in
the moisture in the hot, dry months and the
frost in the spring; until the trees are three
years old cultivate by planting sweet corn—
grain crops are highly injurious; after the
third year keep the ground open and soft by
the use of the plough or hoe. When the
fruit is gathered, he says, one advantage of
having low, stocky trees will be seen. The
fruit is more easily picked, and hand-picked
peaches only are worth marketing.
The varieties Mr. Crosby recommends are,
for the first early crop, the Waterloo, and a
new peach known as Briggs’ Red May; for
the second early crop, the Alexander, Ams-
den, and Foster. The latter is the largest
peach grown here. For staple varieties the
Mixon, Morris White and Stump are the
best. The latest to ripen is the Smock.

Why Printers are Philosophers.
Printers are not only the most intelligent
class of artisans or mechanical manual labor-
ers, but they are also notable for their habit
of taking a philosophical, if not a cynical view
of human life and its ordinary and. extraor-
dinary belongings. A real old typo is rarely
astonished or seriously disturbed by any-
thing, and if there' is a hole in anybody’s
armor he is pretty sure to find it; if there is
a flaw in the human machinery the printer
will detect it, and not seldom his comments
thereon do savor of cynicism. A writer in
the Boston Traveller, in cndeavéring to
explain this, says: ' -'
“I stood within the composing room of a
great daily newspaper. .There was nothing
to delight the eye—no pictures, statues or‘
sumptuous furniture. Serious looking men
were standing before their cases so fixedly
that nothing less than the falling of the roof
would have distracted their attention. Scarce-
1y a sound was audible but the faint click of
type falling into place. I never before real-_
izsd so forcibly the cause why newspaper
printers are, it is said, naturally cynical. To-
day they setup the type that tells the world
of rejoicing .and festivity; tomorrow the
same type is made to proclaim disaster and
mourning. The same type which carries to
10,000 homes the inaugural message of the
ruler of 50,000,000 people has not time to
lose its sharpness before it is employed to re.

ANTI-Manama Puma—Another plant
possessing anti-malarial properties is receiv-
ing public attention. This is the jussieau
grandiflora or floating plant of the bayous
and lower lakes of Louisana, which has been
long observed to prevent the development
of malaria in regions peculiarly-adapted or,
its generation. The claim isput'fo‘rth for it
that it purifies all stagnant water in which It
grows, that the lakes and bayous, inhabited
by it are singluarly pure to the sight, taste
and smell; and that to its presence, and l s
unoubted hygienic or health preserving qual-
ities is to be attributed the remarkable ex-
emption of the people of lower Louisana
from malarious or miasrnatic diseases. v. It 'Is
also stated that in the region thus reputedly
preserved from such diseases there are more
stagnant waters and swamps than in any
other part of country,
' Malaria»: (1‘
‘ manna. .
. The'report of the State Board of Heal
for J une says: _ -
The most interesting feature in the renew-
ed. prevalence of malarial diseases is the dif-
ference of behavior in regions lately invaded
and in those where it has been‘prevalent for
some years. In the former the cases are
quite often more numerous, and are clear
cut cases of chills and fevernlasting afew
days, and recovery complete until after a
longer or shorter interval another similar at-
tack occurs. In the latter gengrally the cases
are much less in number, butof a severer
type, or of a more chronic nature; the types
are constant here if the frequency be nearly
the same. Thus in Hartford we have one
death from congestive chill, three from ty.
phoid—malarial fever, a blending of the newer
malaria with the indigenous typhoid, which
form of malarial disease, although sometimes
the first that appears, is more often an indi-'
cation of the increasing strength or the .ty-
phoid type and the decrease of the malarial.
The variety called malarial fever is ‘slill‘a
farther weakening of the distinctive periodic
type; two deaths are reported from this
form in New Haven, while in Meriden two
deaths are reported from congestive chill,
one from malaria and one from typhoid fe-
ver. The increased frequency of typhoid
fever has already been discussed, still its ap-
pearance side by side of malarial fevers 'of‘
marked type is very peculiar. ,
The spread into new territory is steady,
but not rapid or uniform. It is=interesting to
watch the repetition of the now familiar
phenomena which are, chancteflstiqof the
appearance of malaria in new fields and the
There is no more interesting and important
question for this part of the country than the
ultimate cause of malaria.
Congestive chills are reported also from
several other localities whére malarial dis-
eases have been prevalent for years, but the
prevalent types in these regions are typhoid,
malarial fever, dumb ague and chronic mala-
ria. These varieties are ‘qug often reported
as less amenable to treatment than formerly,
more persistent, oftencr fatal.- Thebeural-
gic complications are peculiarly obstinate.
alth'ough rheumatic affections are about as
intracticable. The only consolation is that
there is apparently afading out of the type
and a slow but significant movement in the
direction of an entire cessation of the disease.
There is no question in the causation of
disease as yet unsolved 'of more practical
importance than that relating to the agencies
which cause malaria, although the theory of
its production, by minute organisms vacte-
moi of one or more varieties, is exceedingly
plausible, and very probably true. Still it is
not yet proven, and so we are as yet uncer-
tain whether the first cause is of a chemical
nature, a liquid' or gaseous poison, the result
of putrefactive decay, with a certain degrte
of moisture and temperature, or minute mi-
csoscopial living germs." The cessation of P
the systematic study of? this subject by all'
the aids modern science affords~ just inaugu-
rated by the National Board of Health, in
connection with our own State Board of
Health and those of New York and Massa-
chusetts, rendered necessary by the recent
action of Congress restricting the work of
the board to yellow fever, small pox and
cholera, is very unfortunate to say the least.
The need ofsa central power to collate and
compare the different results of individual
work, sift out the crudlties, and complete
the work by the accumulated results from
each field, is very evident. Such work can-
not be done by co-ordinate powers; there
must be a head.

Eloped During Her Honeymoon.
A Whitehaven correspondent states: “For
nearlya fortnight past some extraordinary
rumors have been in circulation in West
Cumberland relative to‘ Mr. Burns-Lindow,
who, asone of the wealthiest men, largest
owners in the district, an err-high sherifi ‘of
the county, a magistrate andppintended candi-
date in the Conservative interest at the next V
election, may be described as a very promi-
nent member of society. About the middle
of last week it was stated in Whitehaven that
Mr. Burns-Lindow was ill in London, and the
ofilce of one of the firms in which he is
largely interested was besieged by purges
making inquiries out of friendship or curl si-
ty. The“serious indisposition"report seemed
to hold its own pretty well up to the be-
ginning of last week, when more curiosity
than ever was excited by another rumor to
the effect that the sick man had gone off to
Germany to arrange ’ about a large contract
for pig iron. On the 19th ult. Miss Coiling-
wood was married at Irton church, near
Whitehaven, to a widower from Renfew-
shire, Mr. H. R. Babington Peile. The ac.
casion waspone of unusual brilliancy, the’cer-
emony being most elaborate and impressive,
and the rejoicings afterwards in the parish
on an extensivescale. The breakfast over,
the newly wedded pair departed with the
good wishes of all for Drigg railway station
on their way to the Grange, which place
they left the following day, Thursday, April
30th, for London. The week following Mr.
Burns-Lindow appeared on the scene in Lon-
don and met the bride and bridegroom and
accompanied them on Thursday night to the
Haymarket theatre. On the following day
the bride left in the afternoon for the pur-
pose, she said, of visiting a friend in the
north end of London, and it was‘arranged
between them that her husband should call
at 10:30 p. m. to fetch her home. It was
during this interval that, it is stated, she met
Mr. Burns-Lindon? nnd sloped with him -to
the continent, via Dover, where they stayed
a shdrt time at the Lord Warden Hotel, and
then resumed the journey to Calais, where
they managed to bathe inquiry by leaving no
trace of the route next taken. Before leav-
ing London Mr. Burns-Lindow obtained from
the London and Westminster bank. who are.
agents for the Bank of Whitehaven, £10,000
in notes. The sum of £29,000 was settled
upon Mrs. Peile on the evening prior to her
marriage, and Mr. Burns-Lindow was trustee
underthe marriage settlement. The worst
of the affair is that . Burns-Lindow'is a
married man, and his wife and six children
are now with his cousin near Whitehaven.-—

Rev. Louis E..Charpiot died in Boston last
:week. He was for several years pastor of
the church at. Trumbull and is remembered
as an eloquent preacher. He was at one time
also a candidate for the pastorate of the
First Presbyterian church of Bridgeport.
The Religious Herald published at Hartford
in its issue of July 27 speaks of him as fol-
_Iows: “Rev. Louis E. Charpiot, for many
years pastor of the Congregational church in
Stratford about twenty years ago, died at his
. residence inBoston last week. For a num-
ber of years- past he had. been an active
worker in the cause of temperance. In a
funeral address Rev. Mr. Mallalie'u briefly
referred to the noble battle the deceased had
fought against an acquired appetite for
strong drink, which grew upon him uncon-
siously.and‘of his final triumph. He was
at Mount Aubum" '

Circling swallows cheep;

Mists o’er meadows creep. ‘
Still the mother shades her eyes beslde tho

Who stands silent by.
Not one word is spoken as that mother shuts

But now see knows why Jenny and the cows
came home so late!

The Nun’s Peril.
The Kenwood convent, near the Hudson,
river, about two miles from Albany, has re-
ccntly been supplied with a telephone. One
of the sisters urged the mother superior to
try it. The latter, after some hesitation,
consented, and was told to call “hello.”
That form of salutation did not please her,
but she conienled to employ it after boing
1 assured that it was’the invariable method of
calling up the central office. No sooner had
she uttered the word, however, than she
ejaculated in some perturbation, "Why, a
man is talking with me.” “Yes, madam. it
is a man, but be is two miles away," replied
“the young fellow in the central office. This
first experience with the telephone caused
considerable amusement both within and
without the walls of the convent.
A missionary of the American Sunday?
School Union reports to a lady teacher in
Bethany Sundaycchool in New York city
the appropriation of the generous. gift of her
class to a little Sunday-school at Fort Aber-
cromhie, Dakota, in the form of one of the
beautiful libraries of the union. The super-
intendent is a noble woman, of Norwegian
parentage, an earnest Christian, the life of
the aches]. He says; “Within the month I
“ have organized schools at four other places"
in Dakota. holding gospel services in them—
the firstever held in two of them." This
good work is thus breaking up the fallow
ground in many frontier settlements and
casting the seeds of life and of churches upon
the virgin soil.

A gentleman from Hartwell, Ga, sent on
to :the Great Western gun works and pur-
chased a small parlor rifle, with 1,000 cart-
ridges of the smallest size, the bullet being
about the size of a duck shot. He went over
to Benson's millpond frog hunting, and
found a very large frog of the masculine
gender sitting on a stump just above the wa-
ter. He shot twentyseven times at him,
when his frogsbip lost has bdance and
dropped into shallow water. Upon taking ’
the frog out it was found that he had swal-
lowed 'twenty-six of the bullets, catching
them in his mouth, supposing them to he
files. When he went to move, the weight of
the lead carried him overboard, and when
taken out he was not dead but awful sullen.
Western guns work frogs very slowly in this

Colonel Tom Clark of Brooklyn, once
owned a cat on which he showergd all the
affection of his bachelor heart. And the
shower look the shape of a pound of mince
meat every day. One morning the colonel
noticed that his feline namesake had wasted
away to a mere skeleton, and immediately be
summoned his boy Bill to appear before the
bar. “Didn’t I tell you to give that cat a
pound of meat every day?” asked the color.
nel. “Yes, sir, and that's what I give him
every morning before you’re out of bed,” In-
swered Bill. “I don't believe a word of it.
My gopinion is that you either pocket the
money or eat the most yourself. Bring me
the scales and the cat.” The scales and out
were brought; the latter was placed on the
former and Tom and the marker stopped at
the one pound mark. ”There," exclaimed
the boy in triumph, “didn'tI tell you I gave
him a pound of meat this morning?"
"There’s the pound of meat sure enough 1’"
said the colonel, striking his chin. “But
