"THE HI.AIR DEATH.'* Aprn l Itn R>TUNI llif Plf linkf Fair •"witi t>iir-Thi' W*rld Drwlmrd- U.VIMXMKtO OratH*! The plagne in Rnssia Ibis .rear ha* •come, as before, from Tnrkey; bat the Russian autborili** seem moat active and energetic in measures to prevent its spread. Still, so dreadful is the pest, so inconceivable are its horrors to those who have not witnessed tbom, that it is not strange Austria, German v, and other •countries of Europe should Ire alarmed. While it is unlikely to make much ad vanoo toward the West, too great pre caution cannot IH> exorcised; and, what ever may happen, we have the comfort of knowing that in the latter half of the nineteenth century the best part of En rope and America ia free from petil of panic and superstition, and can meet any danger and death in any form with calmness and reason, science and phi - Joeophy. In later times the plague first ap peared dnring the fourteenth eentary, when it actually desolated the world. One of the names it then bore was the Black Death, from the black spots de noting patrid decomposition which, at one of its stages, marked the sufferer. The accounts then furnished are incom plete and inexact, as they necessarily would be at such an epoch of muni-civ ilization; but they are snfileieut to show a Mute of horrors and agony hard to ex ceed. The course and symptoms of the dreadful malady varied at different tunes and in different countries, and greatly changed toward the close (134K 51) of i:s ravages in Europe. Among the con oomitantsof the pestilence wore noticed palsy of the tongue, which became' black, as if suffused with blood; putrid inflammation of the Inngs; fetid, peetif eroos breath, and expectoration of blood. When it spread to Europe, fever, evacu ation of biOod, and pulmonary carbun cles proved mortal before other svwp toms had been declared. In well-nigh *ll histanees death ensued in two or three days after attack. Spots and tu mors were the sealsof doom which medi cal skill had no power to avert and many sufft rers anticipated by suicide. The riao and progress of the plague in the fourteenth century have not been clearlv or consistently related; bat there -wins to be no doubt that it originated in China. There is also concurrent tes timony that the co-operating causes ex isted and acted at least fifteen years bo fore anv outbreak in Europe, and are to bo sought as far back .as 1338, in a series of mighty'convoUiona of nature, which continued for twenty-six years to affect aud derange the normal conditions of animal and vegetable life. The precise date of the beginning of the plague in China is unknown ; but from 1333 to 1349 that country suffered fearfully from droughts, famine, floods, swarms of locusts and earthquakes that overthrew cities and leveled mountains, and these catastrophes were followed by the scoarge. At the same time the okler of things seemed to be reversed in Europe. Thunder-storms occurred in midwinter, ce formed in summer, tornadoes swept regions that had never felt them before, volcanoes, long thought extinct, blazed with fury, and waterspouts rise in placid seas. The mortality was hideous in the East and West, and it is believed that the great activity of the globe, accompanied by deo.mposition of vast organic masses, myriads of locusts, bodies of brutes and men, produced some change in the at mosphere hostile to life. It is said that, in the progress of the plague westward, the impure and poisoned air was trace able as it moved on laden with pesti lence and death. A writer of the time remarks : *' A dense, awful fog was seen in the heavens rising in the east, and descending npon Italy." The mortality, though no proper esti mate can be made in the absence of sta • Statics, was prodigions—supremely ter rifying. In Cnina alone 13,000,000 persons are asserted to have died, and in other parts of the East nearly 24,- 000 000 more. In Europe details were more exact. In London 100,000 souls perished. and in fifteen continental citiee about 300.000. Germany lost, it is eal related, 1,244 434, and Italy one-half of her whoie population. It is within bounds to ear that in all Europe not less than 25 000,000 people were slain by the scourge. Africa suffered ter ribly likewise, and it is believed that the globe was deprived during that cen tury of fnily from 70,000,000 to 75,000,- 000 human beings from ravages of the plague. The mere facts are appalling to the imagination ; the scenes of suf fering are scarcely credible, Death was everywhere ; it seemed to have usurped the place of life. All animal life was menaced ; birds, beasts, men. women and childr®, hosts of members of every nationality, savages, scholars, peasants, priests, princes, kings, of every creed, clime and race, were swept from the face of the earth. Rivers were conse crated to receive corpses for which none dared to perform the rites of burial; bodies were cast by thousands into huge pits dug for the purpose. Death stalked over sea as well as over land. The en tire crews of vessels were ki 'ed by the poison breath that infested the globe, i Ships freighted with pntrefyißg bodies drifted aimlessly and hideously on the Mediterranean, Black and North seas —not a hnman creature alive anywhere —and spread contagion on the shores whither the winds or tides bad driven them. Hope, peace, content, law, order, affection, naturalness, humanity, seemed never to have been. Ancient custom and the .need of companionship were for the time obliterated ; all was death, agony and despair, and by these the infected world appeared to be ex clusively and shudderingly possessed. The moral effects of the plague were not less drea linl than its physical de struction. Thousands perished from fear, which dissolved among the living all ties of kindred, all bonds of fellow ship, all links, of sympathy. Children fled from the polluted parents ; mothers deserted their helpless infants ; hus bands and Icrverß left their wives and mistresses to die howling and alone. Terror generated superstition ; the vir tuous and vicious alike made distracting and distracted appeals to a God who, they imagined, had sent tne pestilence to punish them for manifold sins. Crowds rushed to sacrifice their worldly goods to the church ; fanaticism swelled on every baud; women screamed to heaven for mercy ; men tore out their hair and scourged themselves until they had fainted from loss of blood that they might propitiate a deity whom they ac tually believed they had enraged. The world was mad with fright, suffering and superstition, and thousands who liad tried to stay the pestilence with prayer, declared that Gail was dead and hell had begun on earth. The horrors of the time were further heightened by cruel persecutions against the Jews, who had been accused of pois oning the public wells, this being in popular relief the cause of the pesti lence. The people rose in mad fury to exterminate the unfortunate Hebrew race, and slaughtered them by tens of thousands. In the inconsiderable city of Mentz (Germany) alone, near 15,000 fell victims to the public wrath. They were killed with steel and club, hanged, drowned, burned, and often barbarously put to death by every kind of torture. In numberless instances they took their own lives in masses to avoid cruelties of the mob, and in many communities every man, woman and child was sacrificed to insensate rage. To exaggerate the scourge, the panic about poison caused the wells to be closed. The people were afraid to touch water, and those who escaped the plague perished of thirst and terror. Society, rude at best in that day, was totally disorganized, and each means as might have been adopted to prevent or mitigate the stupendous evii were either neglected or nnthonght of, in the derangement and frenzy that pos sessed everybody, from the highest to the lowest. The influence of the plague and its desolation were so overwhelming that it frequently destroyed all honesty and principle among the survivors. Many were rendered callous, and many took advantage of the universal horror to indulge ♦bew worst passions, to plunder, murder, and perpetrate the most revolting crimes. There are, it is said, upward of seventy ways of making lightning rods. There are more than a million ways of lying about them. FOR THE 101 SO FOLKS. Th Origin of lh* Jompl-Jrk. Something like twenty years ago, a miserable brick honeo In a back alley wa the home of Archibald Ramsey, a Scotch carpenter. He worked down town in a shop, making cornices, mold itigs, mantels, and a variety of the more elalnirate parts employed in finishing houses. Everv eventug he t<>ok home isiekettuls, ana often handfnls also, of bits and ends from the shop. These oddly shaped fragments of soft, sweet-stnellihg pine furnished amuse j meat for poor little Alec, Mr. Ramsey's hunchback boy ; and when they had served this purpose, they were used as kindling* in the kitchen stove. There was a houseful of little Ram Iseys, of whom Alec was the oldest, and wiien he was amnscd, so were the others, thus giving the overworked mother time for other duties. Alec was sixteen years old, and not taller than an average bov of ten, lie was very much deformed, ami had he lived in an age and country of king* seeking dwarfs and human islditiea for "court fools " or "jesters," he would have IHHMI a "pr a* to s >me iron -handed tyrant. His shoulder* were almost as i high as his head, his arms hung out loose and dangling, ami the rest of his i body was sbruukeu and slender to a most pitiable degree. But whoever, with a tender heart, looked into Ins great, questioning eyes aud noted Ins broad, fair forehead and his cleau, deli cate hands, would *.v>u forget the sad shape iu the nobility of the lace. I need not linger to speak of his studies, which, all unaided, he pushed along with stuve**; nor of his constancy in the Bitndav school, where he was a universal favorite. It is kbent his plav I with the bits of pino from the shop I wish to tell y\ju. Many a droll pile he built on the kitchen floor; many a fnnuv thing he whittled out to runuae the little oueo; I many a comical toy he tuade and gave | away to neighboring children. Often he said, and oftetier thought, " What can I whittle that will sell?" For only money seemed likely to bring him the changed life for which he longed. Once, when he sold for a few pennies a queer little piue trinket, his father stroked his silken La - r and said: " Ah, me puir bairuie, 1 diuua ken but ye may mak' your fortoon wi' your kuit'e." How that little piece of encourage ment rang in his car* and stimulated him to tiuiik aud whittle, whittle aud think .' One genial afternoon in May, Alee crept ont to enjoy the balmy air, aud, by the noise of a crowd of urchins on a vacant lot at a little distance, was drawn in that direction. Here be saw a color ed boy, named Jack, attempting, for the amusement of the party, all sorts of pranks m imitations of circus perform ers. Bareheaded and clothed iu striped red and yellow garments of coarse qual ity, the negro lad almost seemed made of India rubber. Alec watched kis capers in amaze mint. Never bvfoie u-u tie seen such antics, or even thought them possible. It was no wonder that the frail, stiff jointed little hunchback dreamed it all over again, as he did that night. The next morniDg his whittling genius took shape from this event, and before noon he bad produced a rude pine image of the negro—head, arms and legs loose ly hung with bits of broom-wire, and the whole curiously arranged, so that by working a string, it would jump, nod, turn somersaults, and go through quite a series of contortions. With colored pencil*, of which he had some cheap specimens, he blackened its head, neck, hands and feet, reddened its hp*, white eced its eyes, and rudely striped in yel low and red the body, all in imitation of the little negro gymnast. Before it it was completed, his younger brother, who bad been with him the day before, named it "Jumping Jack." And in the afternoon when he went to the vacant lot and exhibited it to the youngsters there, it vas not only universally but boisterously bailed by the same name. When he returned home, he brought, instead of the Jumping-Jack, £ silver half-dollar, for which he had sold the the toy to au eager, well-dressed lad of his own age. And not only this, but he had orders from the boys for half a dozen more ; to be made as soon as pos sib e. Oh, what a proud, glad heart be*} within that deformed little bodv of Alec's! How his temples throbbed ! How elastic his step! What flashing eyes ! What a skein of wild and hopeful talk he unwound to bis mother? So mneh money for his whittling, and a chance for more and more I Castles, sky-high and star-bright! But I have not told von all. That evening he whittled, .and the next day he whittled, and before night had ad ied to his capital three more shin ing half-dollars. The next day he doubled his money. The demand for jumping jacks increased. Boys came to the door, silver in band, to get what he hail no time to make. His grave Scotch parents began to hold serious counsel over the matter. If Alec conld find such sale for these pine images in that neighborhood, why, the whole city wonld require thousands; and what would sell elsewhere also. If they conld supply the market, a fortune might readily be msde. Scotch blood, once aroused and chal lenged, is sanguine and ventnwsome. Bat it would be uninteresting to re peat all the details ; so the rest of my storv shall be brief. Alec's Sunday school teacher, who was a lawyer, procured for him a patent on jumping-jacks of every description; a rich old nncle of Alec's mother bnilt him a factory and started him in busi ness ; aa l, within a year from the after noon when the poor lad wondered at the pranks of the colored boy, jumping jacks from the FUmsey factory were selling in great numbers all over America. Truly Alec did "mak' a fortoon wi' his knife." To school be went; into a better honse, all their own, the family moved ; easier circumstances, better health, less weari ness, and ample means for doing good, came to the Ramsevs. But the best point in my story is that a fine asylum and school for hunchbacks, free to the poor, is one of the noble en terprises to which Alec has been chief contributor.— l. L. li'man, St. Nicho las. A Sad Case. As the overland train was passing Cheyenne, the attention of tlie passen gers were attracted by the lamentation of a poor Irish emigrant, whoso berth had been robbed during the night, and every penny of his scanty savings stolen, and whose family would therefore ar rive beggars in a strange land. The charitable passengers at once liegau a subscription which finally amounted to something over 8250. When the money had been handed to the sufferer, a pious, plausible-looking man, dressed in black and adorned with a white cravat, drew him aside at one of the stopping-places and sail 1 .: "My poor man, I am truly sorry for you. Your sad fate touches me deeply. I am myael! well provided with this world's goodn, however, and BO will give yon $"250 more. Here is a SSOO gold note. Give me the 8250 yon have and keep the rest. May hecven bless yon !" The poor Irishman did as requested with many blessings on the generous stranger, who insisted that the gift should not be made known. When the passengers reached this side of the bay the pious looking philanthropist was no where to be found, he having evidently gotten off at Oakland, for reasons of his own. The next morning the emigrant re paired to a bank to get his note changed. The teller picked up the bill and began narrowly examining it. " There —there is nothing wrong with the bill, is there?" gasped the poor fellow. [Now, tho clever reader has seen all along what was going to happen. He has read lots of just such incidents as this. It's the old—old story. Well— we'll see about that ] " Nothing in the world is the matter with it," said the teller, quietly, and he handed the man fifty tens. That ended it.— San Francisco News Letter. I APTAIK BUTTON'S TRIP. a T*.nr In Hl* Rt>er Sill • *• Alle gan** River, 1 real Oil Or* I* Mlta bars*. Captain Boyton, the celebrated swim mer, swam from Oil Oity, Fa., to Fitts j bnrgli, starting on a Thursday morning and reaching hi* deatiuatnm the follow ing Sntidav. He had expected to make the trip oi 132 miles with only oue stop, but tlieweathrr was ao sever* that he had to stop several times. He was in the water altogether atnmt forty one hours, and the trip from Freeport to Pittsburgh the It*.-! id Ins journey —i* described by the New York HrraUl in a Pittsburgh dispatch as follows : At ten minutes past five Boyton t>ok his paddle, ami, with a wave of his hand, plunged into the water, which was seething with the ice. He was fol lowed by cheers that went ringing dowu the river ami w<-re echoed back by the ravine*. The lonely swimmer made rapid time, although surrounded bv ice, and reached Tarentum, aland sti miles distant, at twenty-five minute* past seven o'clock. Here it was found that the water had congealed <>v. r hituin the chill eaily morning ami he was frozen almost solid. The suu rose **- giulimg to appreciate the sufferings that their " water hero " is nti ongoing, ami instead of the " Have su thiu', cap m|" it ii> now, " (lad bh -s you, cap in; I'd like to die for yon." No pen cau describe the intensity id feeling * it n its here; and old residents affirm that Pennsylvania has not beeu so much ex cited since the war. At Hnltou Roy ton *:- sighted :t half past eleven,making two miles iu over tw i hour*. When the swimmer came oppo site the village a perfect fleet id small locate came out to meet him. as he was observed to l>e painfully struggling to make a lauding. When in' rcache.l the shore a rejo>rter of the Oil City /k crick discovered that the captain P forehead was frozen white, and thereupon rnbbet it witli icennltl circulation was restore i Hoy Urn then said he wu - almost famish e.l. A short distance below Packetty he strnck into a dead water, known us L*v giui's Eddy, where the river wa frozen from shore to shore. Iu order to con tinue lna voyage he was compelled to break through about two miles of yonng ice with Ins paddles; while a terrific mountain wind drove the spray into his eves in hlindiug showers, where it froze fast. Added to tins it began to snow, and the agony endured by the brave is oulv known to himself. Just before he paddled from shore again a dispatch was handed t > him in the river eigne 1 by Mme. Anderson, who invited the half-dead man to go at once to the place she is walking in UJH>II his landing. Boyton'a answer to tins tool request was more forcible than elegant. At twenty minutes past twelve Montrose was reached, and au ovation was given in honor of the floating man as he pass ed by rapidly in order to reach Pitts burgh early in the afternoon. Rnt the village was noon left behind, and the ceaseless paddles carried Paul Boyton on through the ice to Hharpsbnrg, which was reached at two o'clock. The Amer ican flag was here placed in the bra** socket on hi* foot, and then began a re ception that lasted for four and a half mues to Pittsburgh. The flnug of can nons and ringing of whistles made the air hideous with sound, and soon the voyager came in sight of Pittsburgh. There are three bridges over the Alle gheny at Pittsburgh, and these were packed to suffoca'iou, while the roar of murmurs coming from tlie vast assem blage on either shore sounded like an ocean in the distance. Hundreds of small boats surrounded the captain, aud for a time nothing could be seen but the swaying silken flag. Finally, the steaming Caldwell swung out beside the captain to take him on board. It was seen that to land among the multitude would likely can** a ca tastrophe and a 1 >ss of life. Boyton re fused to get on board until he had reached Duqueane point, where the Allegheny river end*. Here he got on board at 1 venty minutes to four ami was taken to the ferry landing at South Pittsburgh under a full head of s'eam. A carnage was in waiting, surrounded by the police, aud Boyton was ferried across in the Manchester ferryboat to the Allegheny side from which he crossed the bridge to the Robinson house iu a close carriage. The police were com pelled to handle tlie crowds very rough ly in order to clear a passage from the carriage to the hotel door for the feeble and exhausted man, who walked up the stairs to his room glittering with ice. In a few minutes Boyton was stripped and laid upon the bed, where he reclined at full length, but little life left in him. His Angers were found to be frozen and his face was badly frost bitten. Besides this, his feet aud wrists were very painful. Found at Last. As a Mississippi nver steamboat came to a river landing, a tall, ungainly rakish looking fellow leaning against the woodpile attracted the attention of the passengers, one of whom, a talkative and conspicuous person, remarked to bis friends that he was going to have some fnn out of that fellow. Ho he stepped ashore when tlie boat landed, and with a great show of fierceness ap proached the fellow. Drawing a savage looking bowie knife h said : "So. old fellow, I've found yon at last Yon're the man that stole a dog of mine and I've sworn to get square with yon. I've been looking for you for a year." T'ue gawky lazily opened his eyes in wondering amazement at first as though ho didn't understand it Then catching sight of the laughing passengers look ing on from the deck betook in the situ ation. By the time "Hmarty" bad finished telling him how long he had been looking for him. he had taken ont of his pocket a fist like a sledge ham mer on the end of the arm of a windmill. He swung it once and knocked the man who had been looking for him plump into the river. Then resuming his place against the woodpile he raised his eyes to the deck and with a very lazy drawl inquired : "Is there anybody else on this boat looking for me?" The Story of a t'ow-Bell. A correspondent of the Cincinnati Oazclte sends the following story of a law case from Floyd oonnty, Ind.: " Mayfleld and Featlieringill were well to-do farmers. One of Mayfleld's rows dropped a bell from her neck, in the woods,that cost fifty cents, and was half worn, and was supposed to be worth twenty-five cents when lost. One of Featheringill's boys, in passing through the woods one day, found a cow-hell. Mayfleld claimed that it was his bell, and demanded it. Featlieringill refused to give it tip. Mayfleld than replevinod it, and then commenced a lawsuit that absorbed the farms and personal estate of the contestants. Not being able to pay lawyers' fees any longer, the lawyers refused to serve in the case, and the lit igants were compelled to compromise, which they did by each agreeing to pay his own costs, which amounted to over 81,500 a Hide or au aggregate of over 83,000. ___ Words of Wisdom. Absence destroys trifling intimacios, but it invigorates strong ones. For him who does everything in its proper time, one day is worth three. The truths that wo least wish to hear are those which it is most to our advan tage to know. Despise no one, for every one knows something which tbon knowest not. He who finds pleasure in vice, and pain in virtue, is a novice both in the one and the other. To know a man, observe how he wins i his object rather than how he loses it; for when we fail, our pride supports ns —when we succeed it betrays ns. What is the difference between hope and desire? Desire is a tree in leaf, hope is a tree in flower, and enjoyment is a tree in frnit. !

V MIMS si PsHltrv anil has*- The Tuwn and I'ountry remarks; Almost fabulous are the estinratca ' given in various quarters, of the tnlriu sic value of American poultry to the people of this country. At the same time, a Urge majurity of those who read and consider themselves well post ed as to details of the natural wealth of tins laud either oonecive this Hem of poultry to t>e a very insignificant mat ter, at the l>et, or else they know noth ing of it at all. Yet our farmers, the suburban resi dents of cities, and thouaanda of men and women all over the United States, are at the present time engaged, in greater or less degree, in the cultivation of and truffic tu good fowls, and in the sale of dead poultry and eggs. Millions of dollars are invested in this business— in one way or another. And estimate# are made by competent au thority m recent years, baaed upon computation, that uhe total annual value of poultry in this country and the eggs produced ty our yearly aggregate of domestic fowls, reaches au approximate value to that of either eottou, grain or slaughtered beef. As au isolated sample of the large consumption of egg# vn one city, we quote from the Boston Herald : "The traffic in egg* carried on by Boston commission house#, and the immense quantity annually consumed iu this State, as*times a magnitude which, at the first glance, mav seem improbable if not impossible. The approximate re ceipts of eggs in this mark, t for the year IS7B, Lave twen as follows : 1U7.6Z7 cases, containing i'A doxeii each, 43.G0C) casn-s. containing 100 doxen each, and 17,783 barrels, containing 70 dozen eaeh.

Sev eral day* ago he aaid to hia wife: " Maria, I want you to look over that broadcloth vest of miue and put new buttons on it, 'cause I'm going to ucnrxi party to-night, and it 'll pay me to look a little sprucor than common." , " But, Ely," answered Mrs. 8., "I haven't auy buttons to match that vest; and"— " Blame it !" broke in Blnmmer, , "the idea of a woman keepiug house as long as you have, an' pretendin' to be < out of buttons. By George ! I b'lieve 1 you'll ask me for money to buy 'em with next." And then old Blnmmer i shfxk his head threateningly and de parted down town, leaving Mrs. B. i looking after him with peculiar ex pression in her eyea. That evening Blnmmer hurried , through hi* supper and began arraying himself for the card party. Presently | he called for the broadcloth vest, anil Mrs. 8., with marvelous promptitude, handed it to him. He took it, hastily unfolded it, and then, as his eye took in its complete appearance, he stood as one traustlxed. It was aix button vest, and there wore six buttons op it, and the dazed optic of Blummer ob -ervod that the first, or top one, was a tiny pearl shirt-button, and toat the next one was a brass army overcoat but ton, with G. 8. gleaming npon it. and i that number three was an oxydiwd stl- 1 vor affair, aud that tinmlier four wss a 1 horn button, evidently from the back of one of the Puritan fathers' coats, and then came a suspender button, and . there, as tho dazzled eyes of old Blum mer reached the bottom button—a poker chip (found in Itlnmmer's pocket) with two holes punched through it—he gave a snort that made the chandelier jingle. There is, after all, n fine sense of humor about Blummer, and lie laughed till he cried. And there won't be any button ruouey grudged in that household hereafter. " Jliat Old More Jorkln*."
