I aw employed by one of our largo
Pbilutlolpliiu commercial houses an a

made busiotsg v it its to the principal
rJTties of our sod adjoiulug Stolon.
Last summer, while on a visit to a
ooighboriog city, sod stopping at a
cosy botol there, tht folluwiog ludi
crous iocideut occurred :
Oa my arrival I registered my Dime

Alter the landlord bad retired, I

wtltten but a few lioes, whea I was
annoyed by a strange buiiios ol voi

ksrbolt of tbe door.
"Is it possible," I said to myself,
"that tbs residents or ibis bouse can
take lueh as interest ia my affairs, to

-1 walked aoislesfly to tbe door, and
suddenly opening it, I surprised no

I could not imagine what it eould

door, liko a young hurricano, I notic
ed that an elegant carriago had atop-
Eod in tho front of the hotel, and a
idy was getting out of it, but I was
in too great a hurry to pay much at
tention to her.
I was so much annoyod by thd un
accountable conduct of the people at
tho hotel, that I did not return until
late in tlio evening, preferring to
ntirchaso my suppor at a restaurant
Wbon I did return, tho landlord
again wolcoraod mo, and ORHiirod mo

Howover I concluded tu undress in'

and began to divest, mysulf of my

In moving my hand carelcsBly over
the bed, it caiuo in contact with a

thought of the latter possibility, my

"Urown, B;ul tho voico "why

I understood what was tho matter
now, aud I determined to havo somo
fun.
"Oo to sloop and don't bother mo"
said 1 1 "I wUlcomo to bod when I
am ready."
In a moment there enmo a piorcing
scroom from the bed, loud enough to
have raised tho shingles from tho
root It had the effect of bringing
the landlord into my room, with all
hia boarders trooping at his heels.
What was my dismay, wbon a light
was brought in to discover a beauti
ful lady sitting bold upright in bed.
and attired in a snowy whito gar
ment
" What do yon moan, sir, by en
tering my bed chamber," asked tho
lauy in a sovere who 01 voice.
" lea. and X would like to know
what you moan airt" said a stout
gentleman of my own ago, who came
tearing into the room at thai moment
like a wild hyena, flourishing a thick
cone in one hand, while in tho othor
be carried a carpet bag. "Who the
devil are youT asked this gentle
man, stepping up to me, and storing
me in the face.
"I am Mr. Brown, sir," said I, as
suming a most dignified expression
of countenance.
"And I am Mr. Brown," said the
other, scowling at me fearfully.
" That s a coincidence, said I.
u What were you doing in my wife's
room t" asked the man. That's an
other coincidence, hey t" "You are
mistaken, sir, Baid L "Your wife
got into my room. I engagod this
room early in the afternoon, as I con
prove by the landlord.
At this moment uie young may
who had claimed me as her futuor in
the afternoon, approached the lady
in tho bed and enquirod 1
"Tell me momma, which of those
gentlemen is my papa."
" Why, the good looking one, of
oourse, said the lady, "the gentlo
man with the side whiskers."
"Oh, how I have . been deceived 1"
criod the young lady, Suffused with
blushes.
"Yes, and I have beea deoeived,"
said the landlord, "for I took this
Mr. Brown - to be the other Mr.
Brown, and I let hhn have the best

The horizon began to clear a little.
and I law the light But I deter
mined to got to the bottom of this
mystery, so I button-holed the Lwd
lordj and drew him into a corner,
wliere I put "a few leading questions,
as the lawyers say.
I learned that the other Mr. Brown
was a wealthy individual, who lutd
boon traveling in Europe for several
years, and hod not soon his fnmily for
a long time. During hia absence his
wife died, and he took another part
ner to his bosom, and wroto homo to
his family that he would return im
mediately, and bring his brido with
him. ,
His arrival was anxiously looltcd
for, his children residing at tho hotel
where I was putting up. That rs
ttbhshmont was in anus for tho
event;
'Brown hod left his children when
they wore so small that they could
not remember , him, and what was
more strange, ho never sent them a
picture oMiirnsolf. so tho only way
they eould indentify him, was by his
naiuo. What moro natural than for
them to sitpposu mo their father, on
my registering my namo T When I
looked into tho matter I could oven
forgivo tlio landlord for his blunder.
On tho misUko being explained to
tho other Mr. Brown, ho acknowl
edged that I will not to bo bliuuo
and volunteered treat t champagne,
and oysters. I respectfully declined,
and departed for another hotel, where
I was tho only Mr. Brown.
Wild Mutes ol .vi on roe.
A few months ago wo published
the story of two wild children being
discovered in tho forests of Pennsyl
vania back of l'it'ston, and of their
nubsoipicnt exhibition in Soranton,
by an itinerant showman. Fresh rev
elations haw been made, verified by
the 1'ittston, Voiitt, embodying the
following facts :
It appears that upon the discovery
of these children, tho good pooplo of
I'ittHton convey to their homo a wa
gon load of provisions. Immediately
after they wero kidnapped and taken
upon a showing tour by ono Robin
son, represented us a scurrilous clutp.
Whilst with this showmnn. they lived
in constant fear of his abuse, us was
evidenced by their shrinking demean
or whenever ho approached. Tho
projectors of tho show lost what lit
tle they hud, and being condemned
by tho people, nnd often threatened
with violence if they did not leuvo
towu ( they then returned tbo chil
dren to tho forest home from which
they wcro abducted. The provisions
left them by tlio 1'ittston people
hud been removed, uud tho father
and wild mutes depended upon herbs
for nourishment Xow aud then tho
father would go out among tho citi
zeus and get food for their tempora
ry necessities, but through tho cold
winter months they lived without a
stitch of clothing, nnd without even
a liro to shako and tremblo by. They
were next taken under tho "humani
tarian care" of Frank l'helps, an El
mini shoman, but wero again re
turned to their native woods iu tho
coldest of winter. A third party
then attempted tovxpibit them, but
Billy, tho boy, ubout twenty-two
years of age, was so ugly they wero
compelled to return them. I low they
survived tho winter is incomprehen
sible. In tho Spring they eat the
moles of tho field, this food being
their support from actual starvation.
V ith this food their temperaments
havo becomo more ngly and irrecon
cilable. Thoy havo frequently at
tacked their almost helpless father,
who bus been tho only witness of
their demoniac violence. But tlio
girl, Molvina, being well formed,
strong, athletic, and swift as a deer,
has generally eluded the final result
But tho boy s temper eventually bo
came desperuto indeed, and ono day
hist week while in a lit of murderous
Eoroxism ho stabbed at her vitals,
ut she suddenly shrank back from
hor assailant her wild mute brother,
and was iu tho act of turning round
to run, wbon ho stubbed at hor again,
this timo cutting hor knoe badly,
from the effects of which sho died
and was buried on Sunday.
lho family is still domiciled in
their mountainous home, destituto
and starving. The mother is some
what respectably connected, and has
absented herself from her home now
for about a year. Tho family is com
posed of nine children, seven of
which are quite intelligent lheso
two mutes are the oldest 1 and we
uudestond the younger tho children
the brighter the intellect The fath
er has written a pluintivo letter to
the editor 01 tlio 1'ittston Comet, ask
ing information of his wifo, who he
states is a victim to tits of temporary
insanity, unable at those times to
appreciate dot meuus or recugiuxe
her duties as a wife or mother, even
denying her husband. He also re
lates the tragical fate of his daughter,
stating that he was absent from home
at the time of the assault 1 the girl
caught cold in the knee which caus
ed it to swell and rot inwardly, and
almost literally to rot away.

Wonders ol the Lightning.
A flash ol lightning ruthet through

from the earth to th s moon lo one

man's ncrrci to transmit to tbe brain
aa impression of a stroke of llhtninf
anJ what time hns the brain le un
derstand such a erah f Absolutely
dodo! The flash occur, and in si
lence tnd darkness a lifu cut off. Ex
perience bears out thi doductiati, fr
I'ror. Tyolall in his "Fragmsnti of
vScienco," irivcs tho following circu:u
star.co : "On June 80ih, 178S, a tol
diur in tho neighborhood of Manhcim,
being overtakeu by ruin, placed him
solfuudoftt tree, benoat!i which a
woman had previously takei aholtcr.
Ho looked upwarl b soe whether tho
branches wore thick ououli to alTtrd
the required protection, and in doing
so was struck: by lightning an 1 fell
senseless lo lho earth. The woman at
bit silo experienced the shock In her
foot, but was not struck down. S line
hours afterward tht man rtvivjd, but
rcinc-mbon nothing about what oo
currcd.iave the fact of Iui looking up
at the bruocho.e. This was his Iu dt
act of coiHcioiHtion, and ho passod
from the conscious t j tho uuconiciims
without pain."
Prof. Tynlull rtlatos thus his own
experience : "Some time no I hap
pened to stand lu tho prvsenco of a
numerous uuJicuoo, with a buttery of
fifteen large Leydeo jars charged be

oa my part, 1 touched a wire le.iJing
from the buttery, aad tho discharge
went through my body. Life was ab
solutely blotted out for a very short
sons.iblc'iotcrval, without a traco of
pain. In a loeund or to conscious
