Biel ory teems with heroic sacrifices that they love done for fa.lier and mother, and well that it does, for they deserve it A little ineident occurred upon a Philadelphia street ear lbw other night that brought this thought forcibly home to the minds of passengers. Stopping at Areh street a little girl helped her father to his seat. Hc was a big, powerful man who would not. under ordinary eir- eumstances need any assistance of Ibis nature, but upon this occasion he had tarried too long at a near -by saloon. He was very much under the Influence of liquor. As they sat in the ear, one of the little girl's hands stole quietly into the broad palm of her father. A tear stood in either eye, for she knew her mother was worrying at home. A sick baby bad forced her to remain while the daughter was dispatched after the erring parent. After going several squares the little girl motioned to the eonductor to stop the car. He did an. She tugged at her father's arm and & reused him from his drunken stupor. \Come papa,\ she said, \we must get out hero. We are nearly home.\ The father pulled himself together and started to alight. It was a hard task for him and the little one was quiek to notice it. \Lean on me, papa,\ she bravely said, as she took hold of his arm. And n early borne down by the weight, the father was enabled to reach the street safely. The car passed on. Tears stood in the eyes of the passengers,as they quietly watched the pair pass out of sight in an adjoining street To \'Suffer and Be altvone- In other words, to exhibit fortitude when en- during bodily pain is, of course, praisewortny, but sufferers from rheumatism would undoubt- edly forego the praise which the exercise of this Spartan virtue calls forth.to obtain prompt and easy relief.

Married for Salad and Found It Peppered A learned Naglish judge asked a woman to marry him because she, knowing his weakness, had mixed a salad so artistically that he declared he could not live without eating an-. other. The judge soon repented his folly. Th, lady had a foolish nature and a temper which so tormented her husband that he would prolong the sessions of his court far into the night. \Gentlemen.\ he was accustomed to say, when counsel or jury murmured at the lateness of the hour, \as we must be somewhere, we can not be better anywhere than we are here.\ Hawerm'e litaste curia Nalere.\ Warranted to cure or mune, rebinds& Aaa druggist fur it.

TWO STRANGE HERMIT/4 OF THM P•Cl VIC 61-0EK Wild and Romaotle Life of Joseph Un- derwood. the Accomplished tkreelk ticholar Who l'referred a Hermit's Life - Mouth Portland's klyatery. USEl'Ii I' N DER - an eccentric nod very poor old man, was found dead in his hut, seven miles north- west of Pomona, near the Dalton - -canyon, California, the other day. lie had died of heart disease, from which he had long suffered. The old man probably suffered from lack of food during his last days. His coffin, that he himself had made from rude fence boards several years ago, was found beneath his bed. There are few men who have met with the great changes in fortune that the decea.sed did in his seventy-two years of life, lie was the WU of wealthy parents in England and SKETCH OF J08E1'II UNDERWOOD. was a student at Cambridge University for three years. lie came to the United States in 1843 with $10,000 and for several years added largely to his money in a boot factory at Buffalo, He was prominent in society in that city and was on friendly terms with such men as ex -President Fill - more and Lewis Allen, the uncle of Grover Cleveland. In some af- fair with a young lady in Buffalo young Underwood's character was SO injured that he lost his business and fled from Buffalo with only a few hun- dred dollarn, lie made another small fortune by lucky investments in the growing city of Chicago in 1859 and started for California with other young men who had the gold fever. Of the horrors of starvation, thirst, cold and heat of the seven months Underwood spent in coming across the plains he alarm; spoke with a shudder. He was several years recovering his broken health, and when he did he had not dollar. During sixteen years Under- wood made a fortune of about $7S,000 in mining in Nevada County, and then lost it all in a placer mining scheme in Yuba Connty. For a year or two he was so poor that he was helped by charity. Then he made a strike in some real-estate transaction, and for several years every deal he made in real estate waa successful. He had about 8110,000 in le70 and went to Europe. Ile traveled abroad for a year and be- came engaged to a young widow on the steamer that brought him back to this country, and married in Trinity Church as soon as they arrived. Under- wood was so flush with modey in those days that he gave the minister $1,000 as a marriage fee:. In leas thani six months Underwood and his bride had parted in great anger, and he gave tier St0,000 to leave him forever He returned to California and spent sev- eral years in Petaluma and San Fran- cisco, but his spirit was broken. He kat his money in a mine on the Com- stdock, and after more poverty made several thousand dollars in Tombstone, which he subsequently lost in real estate in San Diego. The last eight or nine years of Underwood's life were spent in the most abject poverty im- aginable. He lived alone in a hut and subsisted on money made from the sale of firewood He was the dirtiest and most unkempt person in Pomona Valley. Ile hated the World and de- spiiied everyone who had means. His only recreation was in reading a Greek Testament, from which he could re- peat whole chapters in the original book by memory. He has numerous consinis, nephews and uncles in Sacra- mento and Tehama Counties, but left no record of who they are or where they live. Two dollars will buy all the property the old man left A dingy cave with several thousand THE OLD iirituti ti a cans for a roof, a pile of grimy blankets and gunny sacks stuffed with rags for a bed, a few old cans and broken brick against the clay bank for a fireplace - this is the habitat of an old Inwn in South Portland, Ore. The cave is dug into the side of a steep bill. and is .iiniciently obscured by brush and trees to give the old man the seclusion ha seems to desire. To one acenatomed to the ways and con- ditions of civilization the cave has the appearance of a haunt of barbarism- & lair more It for the habitation of semi beasts than a tciman being. Yet it is the home of an old recluse, who has lived in it several years regardless of the fact that the land is not his own Who he is no One knows. He has been seen in the vicinity several times, but he invariably runs away when any one ap- proaches. The cave the old man lives in is now a marvel, considering the Itnplements he had to work with. The only tool he used was a broken shovel, tied with wires in several places, with a handle that once was a sapling fir tree ileybg a hola4bout 14 feet long, 10 feet W - ide and 12 feet deep, and as the bank is hard clay, the amount of labor he performed may beimagined. A Man with a good shovel could not remove such a quantity of earth in leafs than two or three weeks. The thou- sands of small cuts in the clay show that he took but a small amount of earth at a time, and gives some idea oi. the laborious task he had. The roof is made of a few cross -beams and flat- tened out oil cans, piled about twenty deep on top. Where he picked up such a quantity of oil cans is a mystery, as one dray could hardly carry them. The bedding consists of straw, old blank- ets, sacks and rags. It has always been a mystery who the old man liv- ing in solitude and seclusion is. lie has been seen several times, but he is never at home when anyone calls. What he lives on is as much of a mys- tery as his identity. He is described as a man about 55 years of age, 5 feet 2 inches in height,- with black hair and grizzly beard. USED A WHIP • Cincinnati Woman Castigates a Pretty Teacher in Her Lair. The Cincinnati Sixth District School was the scene of an almost unheard of incident the other morning. Mrs. Abbie Bistler gave Miss Emma Berk, a teacher,,,,,, of the F grade, a merciless horselwhipping, before her class. The 11 -year -old son of Mrs. Bistler, Weide- mar. was tardy for several days, BO that he was at last sent home for an excuse. His mother neglected to send one and the boy was suspended. Mrs. thstler was sent ice- by the principal, H. hi. Fick. She came into Miss Berk's room, and closing the door behind her said: \I have come to sett:e this mat- ter.\ Taen un- coiled a whip from under her cloak and began unmer- cifully lashing the teacher. The cries of this lady, min- gled with those of the children, brought the princi- HISS EMMA BERK. pal and several teachers to the scene. They finally wrested the whip from Mrs. Bistler and put her out of the school. The children could not be calmed down and it was necessary to send them home for the day. Miss Berk was baclP bruised about the face and arms. A Platers of the Test. Jean Jac Ines Rousseau, the eels. braded French writer, has told us in his \Confessions In a charmingly candid way, of his good and his bad manners, of his good and bad fortune, of his virtues and his vices. The por- tion of his life which he spent in the company of that virtuous sinner, Mme. Wahrena, forms the most charming chapters of all the \Confessions.\ It Is imposisible to chide her, equally 1131- SOCSIIMAU AND HIM.

In her labors- mperament as would thaw Brutus tory, as the celebrated painting by Charles Hue shows, she was as full of fun as science, and would pursue Rous- seau, and make him taste the nauseous drugs she had prepared. It was in vain to resist her, and there would be few of us. indeed, who would have fared much better under the same cir ruins lances. Dee't Throw Away Cooked Flak Instead of throwing away cold cooked fish, pick the meat from the bone with two forks and mince it very fine; mix it well with equal quantities of bread -crumbs and cold mashed pota- toes, and season it highly with pepper and salt; put the bones, heads and trimmings of the fish into a stew -pan with a bunch of sweet herbil, a little parsley, pepper and salt, and quite half a pint of water, and let it simmer for an hour. Make the minced fish, bread and po- tatoes into a cake or balls, binding with the white of a beaten egg; brush them over with the yolk, strew it well with bread -crumbs, and Sr .ro &solder. brown.

The other day I heard a queer idiom, which I herewith present to oolleceors of linguistic curiosities. The speaker was one of the ladies in the family of a government official who had been. serving his country abroad for a short time. \No said she, \we did not care for Europe. We thought it very dull. We were not bunched once during our whole stay abroad.\ The expression was so un- usual that an enterprising listener, bolder than the others, asked what it might mean. \What do I mean by 'bunched'\ repeated the first speaker in surprise. \Why no one sent us any flowers. What else could I mean?\ No Trouble to Remember It. \The password is Saxe. Now don't forget it. Pat,\ said the colonel just after the battle of Fontenoy, at which Saxe was marshal. \Sacks? Faith, and I will not. Wasn't my father a miller?\ - Who goes there?\ cried the sentinel after the Irishman had arrived at his post. Pat was as wise as an owl, and in a sort of whisper yell replied!: \Itae-s your honor!\ Look Out for Cold Weather But ride inside of the electric lighted, steam heated, vestibule apartment trains of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul rail- way and you will be as warm, comfortable and cheerful as in your own library or boudoir. To travel between Chicago, St. Paul and Minneapolis, or between Chicago, Omaha and Sioux City in these luxuriously appointed trains is a supreme satisfaction; and, as the somewhat ancient advertise- ment used to read, \for further particulars, see small bills.\ Small bills (and large prillei also) will be accepted for passage and sleeping car tickets by all coupon ticket agents.

When Hatton Wm Poet -Master- GemeraL When the late Frank Hatton was sworn in as post -master -general, one of his newspaper friends in Washing- ton sent out the following dispatch, which was considered by the subject of it the cleverest pan that had ever been made on his name: \'The admin- istration decided to -day to keep its Hatton in cabinet meetings for the remainder of the presidential term_ ...lf asked if it means anything, simply say the weather is getting colder, and the president is only showing proper care for the head of the poet -office department.\ \Pm going abroad next month; now if you were me what would you do first?\ \Why borrow the money to go, of course.\ Coen Cemmgle Balsam In the oldest and best.
