She wrote in a quaint old hand, but the boy could muke out every word, and onee when he wrote that her writing was imâ€" proving, she felt all the pride which a schoolâ€"girl conld have shown. He improvâ€" ed as well. By and by he wrote "Detroit" plain and fair, and he took extra pains to commence his "Dear Mother" with a great fourish, ind to add something after the words ‘"Your son Dan." There was no letter the next Tuesday, and the two exensed its absence, by sayâ€" ing that Dan was getting ready to come home. That was early in February, and he was to come about the first of March. The next Tuesday there was a letter, but the handwriting was not like Dan‘s. It was a strange business hand, and the clerk felt a clull go over her as she turned it over. It might bo good news, but she feared not. "Mother‘ came in at the regular hour, and she turned pale as she took the envelope. Her fingers trembled as she opened it, and she had to wipe the mist out of her eyes before she could deâ€" cipher a word. She hadn‘t read over four or five lines when she utterred a moan and sank right down, like one crushed by some aw‘n! weight. They liited hber up Those letters were food and drink to the old lady, and she seemed actually to grow younger. Little Dan had many friends in the post office, and had the mother been ill, any carrier would have hunted till‘midâ€" night to find her, and hand her the looked for letter. Three or four weeks ago when she opened her letter she wept and smiled as over the first. Dan wrote that he was coming home fora week and her hcart was full. She said she‘d have the cottage looking like new for him, and she‘d be at the depot to welcome him first of all. Everybody felt good with her, and the lady clerk was to go up some evening and have tea with Dan, and praise and encourage him, for the more kind words a boy can have the better will he seek to do. The Lady clerk rose up to look after the old woman, and when a sccond letter came she was looking and watching for "mother" a whole day before the letter was passed out. "I hope so too," added the clerk, and after that the two were friends. Someâ€" times the letters were far between, and when the old woman would worry over the delay and the big tears would fall, the lady would almost shed tears with her. "Mothâ€" er" would epen her letters at the window, and if Dan was feeling brave hearted and getting along well, both would rejorce, and both would be auxious if he ever comâ€" plained. "Thanks! It‘s from my boy Dan, and you don‘t know how much good it does me [" "It‘s from my little Dan again," cried the old woman as sho noted the superâ€" scription. â€" HMe‘s in Buflalo, learning a trade. He‘s only & bit of a boy, and there wasn‘t a show for him in Detroit, beside he was running out at nights and going to the bad. I sent him away, and he‘s working hard and trying to be good, God bless my Dan! I‘m alone widow with only him to loye, and I hope he‘ll be good." The old lady felt so good that, with tears in her eyes and trying hard to smile, she put her head into the window and said : One day, a yearor two ago, a funny looking old woman, wearing faded garâ€" ments, but having & tidy look and a mothâ€" erly face, appearedat the window and askâ€" ed for a letter. There was one for her, sent from a distant city, and anyone could have told that an unlearned boy directed the envelope. â€" There was a little "d" in "Detroit," with a big "T" to the end of the word, and it seeried wonderful that the letter ever reacued its dest.n ition. You see, the people at the post ofiice soou recognize faces and names, and after a man or woman has appeared at the genâ€" cral delivery window three or four times, they are pretty well known. It is a real pleasure to hand over letters to some,while the clerks care little for the calls of others to get hold of their epistles.

What Makes the Man ? "Little Dan." POETRY A Very Sain Srory,.â€"The Toronto World teils a sad story of death and disâ€" grace in its issue of Tnesday. Last Sanâ€" day a woman, known to the police as an old offender, went into a shanty for proâ€" tection. ‘The inmates granted her request, and the scanty food in the house was shared by the people with the unkappy outcast. She complained of being sick and of having no friends and was hceard to moan, now and then, "Oh, that I were a child again at my mother‘s knee." These words were taken as the half mad ravings of a drunken woman, and little heed was paid to them. On Monday she went out, and returned again in the evening, when she was told to lie down on the floor. On Tuesday morning she was picked up dead. An investigation will be held. The police, who knew the poor unfortunate very well, say that in herlife she belonged to that sad class known as "street walkers," and that she was very drunk on the night that she lay down on the floor of the shanty in the rear of William street. She was the daughâ€" ter of one of the wealthiest men in‘Toronto, and some years ago she danced with the scion of a Royal House, in the parlors of one of the most prominent men in the Queen city. "She is lying toâ€"day," says our contemporary, on a plank, supported with cordwood,her nakedness barely coverâ€" ed by the poorest of cotton rags." What a striking commentary is all this on inhm-\ Ezx. In Russia all the sons and daughters of princes inherit their titles. ‘They are conâ€" sequently as plentiful as sparrows. It is said that there is a village where every inâ€" habitant is a Prince or Prineess Galitzin. The title of prince in Russia is about equivâ€" aleat to that of eequire in Englaud. The richest man in England is tne Duke of Westminster, his income being $3,500,â€" 000 a year. W. II. Vanderbilt, ot New York, has at present an income of over $5,000,000 a year. The late Baron Rothsâ€" chill was worth over $200,200,000. ‘The late A. T. Stewart was put down as worth $100,000,000, Jacob Astor, New York is supposed to be half way between Stewart and Vanderbilt, Judge Hilton, Mr. Stewâ€" art‘s szccessor in business is reported to be & $20,000,000 man ; J. Gould, $25,000,000; Edward Green, New York, $20,000,000 ; and a goodly number of New York, milâ€" lionaires from that down to the single milâ€" lion. No oty in the world, cutside Lonâ€" don and Paris, can beat New york for milâ€" lionaire men. Bartus® Crerx, Mich., Oct. 20.â€"A few days ago, as was stated in the Interâ€"Ocean, Conductor A. 8. Parkerofthe Grané Trunk Railway, who regides in this @ity, by an accident lost a leg and an urmt the Stillâ€" well station,. ‘The members severed from , the body were left lying by th@ side of the , track, while the body was imme&ntely conâ€" ; veyed to South Bend for medical assistance As soon as he recovered consciousuess he l be began to complain that his right arm was in a cramped condition. His attendâ€" i ants, kuowing that his arm wasimany miles | away by the side of the railway track, paid | no atteution to his complaints, thinlking | him out ofhis mind. _ He still continued ‘ his assertions that the fingers of his right | arm were doubled under his hand, asking l assistants to send and get his arm at Stillâ€" well. By his speech they saw that he reâ€" realized the accident, and a telegram was sent to Stillwell to send the mutilated nrm‘ to its owner. The request was carried out and the arim sout to him by express. So soon as it was taken up off the ground, a few moments after the telegram was sent, Parker remarked to his assistants that his arm was all right now, that they had picked up. Every time a person took a hold of it along the route Parker would sperk of it, and ery out with pain when it was roughly handled, and whenever any of his attendâ€" ants touched it while it lay in the next room to him be knew it as quickly as though tho arm were still attached to his body. The messenger who got the arm said that he found it just as Parker had said it was, with the fingers cramped un-' der it,. This is one of the most singular t yet wellâ€"authenticated cases on record, I where a man could feel in an arm which was cut off and lay manymiles from him | and which had been cut off many huurs.i The physicians are baffled to account for ; it, and can only class it under the head of| the unexplainable phenomenal mysteries | which are met with in the study of nature. | â€"Special Correspondence of the Interâ€"| Occan. j No more letters commencing "Dear Mother" came for the dead,and the trembâ€" ling hands which used to linger fondly over the words, "My dear hoy Dan," are folded over a lifeless breast, there to rest until the angels unclasp thein. without a tenant.

The letter sail that he had been taken suddenly ill, and that nothing could save him, the blow was too heavy for one with her grey lmirs and broken, and in a week she was in her grave. and took her home, the letter clasped in the stiC fingers, and though she came out of the faint, after a while her heart was Strange Sensations The story is full of lessons.â€" heart, aud her little cuttage is <â€"â€" 4@# 6â€"â€"_â€"â€" Rich Menâ€" ++ & ++ ] ’ life, * g , | And every day add to the bliss of your wife." , f’I'hoy aro the benefactors of mankind in the , | diminution of human suffering and in the | prolongation of human life; but they are y ! sometimes represented as if they wers the | enemies of the human race.

Daft Willie Law was the descendant of an ancient family, nearâ€" ly related to the famous John Law of Lauâ€" rieston, the cclebrated financier of France. ‘ Willie, on that account, was often spoken | to and taken notice of by gentlemen of disâ€" tinction. Posting one day through Kirâ€" caldy with more than ordinary speed, Daft | Willie Law was met by Mr. Oswaid, of Dunnikier, who asked him where he was going in such a hurry. â€" "Gaun ?" says Wilâ€" lie, with apparent surprise, "I‘m gaun to my cousin Lord Elgin‘s burial." "Your, cousin Lord Elgin‘s burial, you fool ; Lord ; Eigin‘s not dead," replied Mr. Oswald.) "Ah! deil ma care," quoth Willie, "there‘s | sax doctors oot o‘ Embro at ‘im, and they‘ll ' hae him dead afore I win forrit ;" and off | he posted at increased speed." A physiciâ€" i | an, finding a lady reading ‘T‘welfth Night,‘ | Isuid, «‘When Shakespoare wrote about Paâ€" j , tience on a monument, did he mean doeâ€" tor‘s patients ?" _ "No," she answered,"you | don‘t find them on monuments, but under i them." "And is it really true that I shall trecover ?" asked a patient of his doetor, ‘“quu.]libly." answered the man of mediâ€" | cine, taking from his pocket a paper full of : \figures. "Ilere, look at the statistics of Iyom‘ case ; you will find that one per cent. | | of those attacked with your malady are | | cured." "Well ?" sald the sick man, in a| | dissatisfied manuer. "Well, you are the one hundredth person with this disease that I have had under my care, and the fim! ninetyâ€"nine are all dead?" In all this the | unexpected turns of thought tickle our fanâ€" , |ey with curious images, or produce within " , us various emotions ; but they do not make | any change in our estimate of them, or afâ€" j feet our confidence in them. Again they | are more skilled in the science of medicine , ‘ and conversant with the practice of mediâ€" i cine; but they are sometimes represented | as if they were ignoramuses in the art of | healing, and in some cases perkhaps not without cause.â€"Professor Grainger Stewâ€" art delivering an addross to the graduates in medicine in the University of Edinburgh | the other day, told of a practitione who, when asked forty years ago whether he beâ€" lieved in phrenology, replied, "I never keep itâ€"(he had a shop)â€"and I never use it, but I think it bighly probable that it giâ€" ven frequontly, and in liberal doses, it may be useful in irregular gout." Is this not a | case of extiaordinary professional ignorâ€" ance? Is it rare or common ? ‘There is no doubt but that there are a numher of most unskilful physicians, the canse of this may be attributable to went of expericuce. ‘ Ae illustrative of this we give the following:: A short time ago & certaln man received : ‘cut in the leg with a table kuife from a infuriated drunkard. The wound was tied up by his friends, and the nearest physiciâ€" an summoned in the meantime. | ‘The man of medicine, after a eursory examination of the wound, prescribed a lotion for it, and left. By the next day the wound had beâ€" come very painful, and the patient, losing all faith in the prescription, sent for anothâ€" er physician, who condemned the previous treatment, bathed the lotion from the wound, which he tightly bandaged, and orâ€" | dered the patient to rest it until the inflamâ€" | mation, caused by the lotion had gone down. | In a fow days the man was well again end | / at his work. Had he continued the lotion, | he believes he would have become a fit subâ€" | ject for an explatory and practical lecture | before a few dozen medical students on the | art of amputating a leg. ‘The second inâ€"| stance to which we would refer is that of a | lady in an adjoining village, who was conâ€" |! fined before her family physician could arâ€" | rive from town. A resident physician was / summoned and attended her, but so badly | ! did he perform his duty as to call for the | ‘ strong censure of her family physician, who | | chanced to meet him the same evening. |‘ Further. An English medical journal says: , 1 **A doctor was summoned to aitend a poor l * woman at Sheffield who was lying daugerâ€" , ously ill.

All on board perished with the exceptton of a son of the eaptain, who in an almost exhausted conditicn was picked up by a boat from the shore. Over 106 people saw the crew drown, but were unable to render any asâ€" sistance; had there been a lifeâ€"boat all would likely have been rescued, but the storm was too great to venture out in anyâ€" thing else. Among those who perished is Mr. John Hamilton, mate. He was halfâ€" brother to Mrs. Thad Conklin,of this place, a tour of the United States, his primary object being to look up a proper place of ettlement for a large number of Seottish fumilies who intend emigrating to this country next year,and who will be assisted by caupitalists in Scotland with money to purchase the land and the necessary farmâ€" ing utensils and seeds; and his secondary one tolook out for the investment of a large amount of surplus capital now lying idle in Glasgow.

Frank Biddenbangh, a wealthy young man liyving in Batesville, Ohio, came home late one Saturday night intoxicated, and entering the room where his wife and child slept assaulted them with an axe. His wife‘s skull was crushed and his son‘s throat cut. He then went to the room where Mrs. Stephens, a visitor, and her child and servant were sleeping, and killed Airs. Stephens and the child. The servant girl sprang towards the door, but was knockâ€" ed senseless and loft for dead. Recovering consciousness she gave the alarm. In the morning the murderer was found in a tobbaeco house with his throatâ€"cut, but not fatully.

A couple of men then come along "spacing." They run a line along the road a certain distance from stukes placed in the centre of the track by the ‘oompmy'l engineer. To this line they put one end of all the ties and place them equal distances apart, leaving double the space here and there where there are not sufficiâ€" ent ties; in these extra epaces ties are plac» ed after the rails are laid, the olject being to get the engine along as fust as possibl«. } Following the spacers is a boy with a stick about two feet long and & piece of red clal} The stick is marked at about cigl:teon in ches from one end.
