Dick lunged for the lad and unhoril him. Adam was stunned by the tali and lay but a few feet from the enraged beast, whose ter ribie bellowing indicated that he was thoroughly aroused. It seemed impos sible for any one to rescue young Fore paugh. The keepers ami trainers knew that the least motion would hasten the boy's death, and so stood speechless and aghast.

A Cooking Contest at a Fair. Miss Corson, tin- scientific cook, having passed through Utiio some months ago, the young women oi Hamilton eountv. in that State, got an id- a that it would be awfully nice to have n cooking eon tcsi at the county fair. S.a a space in the grounds was inclosed by means of a rope, and in the midst of a thousand si**.-tutors, who pressed the lines from every point of the oompass. Miss Mary Leehy. of Wyoming, rolled up her sleeves and pitched in. The judges (ladies, of course) pulled out their watches 3t the moment when the water began to boil in_ the kettle. 1*2.43 p. M . and sixty-five minutes later six persons sat down to a royal dinner prepared by .Miss Mary's hand. At the same hour the next day M iss Marv s contestant. Miss l'littsbe Hill, fried her hand.and inexactly fifty four minutes rang for the feast. The judges awarded the prize, an improved and the most valuable stove made, to Miss Leehy, because Miss Phoebe's din ner, though ready eleven minutes earlier, was inferior in quality. A Married Pair who .Never Scold. An ex-mayor of St. Louis agked his wife to sign a conveyance of some prop erty that tie desired to sell, and she sur prised and angered him by refusing, lie swore that, unless slu complied, ho would never speak to her again, and she was still obdurate. That was sixteen years ago, and although they had been a loving coupie, and have since lived in the same house, they hare never ex changed a word directly. Thev roomed apart, hut sat at the same table, and were never guilty of any disrespect to ward each other, save that of silence. When circumstances made communica tion between tiitm absolutely necessary, they respectively addressed their daugh ter, and she spoke for both. Their ques ions, so put, were always framed in the third person. The daughter died a short time ago, hut the parents are said to still decline to become reconciled.

Not a great while since a prominent physician of Denver, Col., was eallcd to attend a patient in the last stages o( w bat appeared to be consumption, but which, upon examination. Proved to be simply a wearing awnv of life- a decay of the energies of mind and lardy. A1 though well supplied witli money, the stranger was seemingly without friends or relatives.

After making a thorough examination of the case, the doctor told him thai a though he could timl no or ganised disease, yet lie was dying. " I know it." replied the patient. "Hut have you no idea of what brought you to this plight?" inquired the inter ested man of science. "11 is a curious phenomena.

The Finest Diamond in the World. France proposes to sell her crown jew els. Among them is tlie Regent, the finest ot the great known diamonds of the world. There are several that are j larger in the royal treasuries of Europe, and there are some few that are more i valuable, but there are none so beautiful. Almost perfect is this peerless st,.ue in a., rvspoe s. In shape, cutting, luster and color it may be pronounced fault- ; less, were it not for a small and almost . imperceptible *|ot, which is visible to tlie eye of an expert when the stone is taken from its setting. The history of the Regent shows through what varied adventures the his toric gems of the world have generally' passed. Found in the mines of (100 oonda, it originally formed one of the eyes of a famous idol placed in the pa goda of C'handenuagose, in Bengal. Stolen mysteriously by some unknown a. o-enturer.it passed from hand to liand until it became the property of Tliomas I'itt. tlie grandfather of the great Earl ol t hatharu, that gentleman liavirg pur chased it from a jewel merchant while in India for the sum of S&!,SOP. The Dukeof Orleans, when Regent of France, bought for mtljm. isiuis XV. and Iritis XVI wore it in their hats. Na pol- un I. caused it to be set in the hilt of his-word. For a long time, during the consulate and first empire, this j precious diamond was held in pledge by the stati banker, M. Vanierberglie. Whilst it was in his possession he adopted a novel method of keeping it safely. His wife used to wear it con stantly sewed up in a belt, while tlie warv banker exhibited to the eyes of i the curious a fine fae-siuile in paste of the celebrated gem. During the second empire it formed tlie crowning jewel ot a splendid diadem of antique form, en- 1 tirely composed of diamonds, which the beautiful empress wore on all grand o i:vsions of public festivity. Those who have ever beheld this peerless; stone blitzing like a star almvc that fair brow have never forgotten the sight. A full inventory of the crowned jewels of France was taken in 17hl by order of the National Assembly. Therein the Re gent is described as "a superb white . brilliant of a square form, with rounded corners, weighing 13fi carats, and valued at twelve millions of francs (#2.400,000)." The great diamonds of tlie world are generally ugly and lusterless, a* witness tlie Koh-i-noor. It is on.y the great French diamond that shows as regal in its beauty as in its size and value. A Remarkable Recovery. The recovery from a wound generally pronounced mortal, ami the restoration o'~ theor ran wounded to healthy action, occurred in the Ouachita country, in the case of an eminent citizen who filled the highest political offices in the State, and was always regarded as a leader oi the dominant political party. We refer to General Solomon W IJownes, who once represented this State in the i'nited States Senate. In a duel between Gen eral Downes and General Morgan—the weapons being rifles—General Downes wa- shot through the lung®. The ball which penetrated his body carried with it a piece of cloth in which it was the custom to wrap the lmlls used in the old-fashioned rifles. The hall was ex tracted. but the cloth remained and pro duced inflammation, which gave great pain and distress to the wounded gentle man. Hi® lungs, which had been pro nouncod before lie was shot as in a very unsound condition and had elicited the most gloomy apprehension of hit early decease from consumption."were much inflames! and irritated by the presenceof this cloth, which had |ierforated them, and thus increased and aggravated the violent coughing to which h" hail been subjected His physician thought there was hut little hope of his recov ery. and the general himself made pre parations for the early close of his mor tal career. One day, in a spasm of violent cough ing and copious hemorrhage from the lung*, the wadding was thrown up. and carefully examined bv a surgeon from this city, who astonished the afflicted gentleman by cheerily congratulating him on the event, as not only a relief from a cause of great suffering, but as furnishing grounds for a hone and le --lief uf the restoration of his kings to a sound and healthy condition. And so it proved, for General Downes lived thirty years longer, ahd was one of the most active and conspicuousof our pub lic inen and one or the most vigorous and successful political and parliamen tary speakers and advocates in the State. Veto Orleans Democrat. headline's Mammoth Sleeping Palace. Among the first in Leadville there hapj>ened to be a merchant who owe h mdled a wholesale business of three millions a year as a grocer in New York city. Failing there, he came to Lead - viHe penniless. But his sagacity seized upon thi® opportunity, and getting to gether sufficient funds, he built a vast died of skits and filled it with rows of bunks, two tiers higx. capable of ac commodating 500 sleepers nightly. His mattresses were thick and soft, his sheets clean, his coverings war in, the place well ventilated through the thousand cracks that gaped between the unseasoned boards. The proprietor was a man of large size and severe mien. He furnished a bed for fifty cents, and posted his rules: " No talking or laughing, or singins, or drinking." If a man cared to sleep him self and let others sleep. |,*e was sure of a good night's rest; if he made a noise lie was soon ejected and wit.'iout redress. Of course the Mammoth Slee ping Palace made money, as it deserved to.—Scrib ncr's Magazine. The people who have no aim in life do the most shooting.— Picayune. Preparing for the.Census.

McCoy then succeAied in get ting into a low manger, but it was not [ bigh enough to protect him entirely, and the animal stuck his horns into the man's hark near the kidneys, making a ghastly wound. Some men were near I the stable and heard the wounded man's groans. They went in and succeeded in getting the hull out hy taking hold of the . ring in his nose. The danger I rum wearing red in the presence of bullocks, as well as hulls, says a (Ky.) paper, was illus trated in the fate of a negro woman who lived in this county, on the Kus*eil road. alKiut seven miles from Is-xington.

A Female Gambler's Fafe. Educated, pretty and fashionably dressed women were not common in Ne vada City, Gal,, in 1&54. Therefore the arrival of Madam Dumont in that min ing town caused considerable excite ment, fori she was attractive in the three mentioned particulars. Besides, she was not more than twenty years . old. She at once hired a corner in a ! large saloon and opened a faro game. The novelty of a woman dealing the cards drew many gamblers to her table, and her success was so great that she goon opened a large establishment, where a dozen games were kept going | night and day. She gained the rrputa -1 lion of dealing honestly, was always 1 smilingly polite, and the miners liked I bi>r—even held her in considerable re- I speet. But her luck changed at last I from good to bad, and she Tost all her : money. She spent a few years in other j business in San Francisco, but could not I recover into prosperity.
