THK lEWtBOY'S DEBT. Only ' yoTi Cnrtrtmas time, . , While pacing down a city atreet, saw a tiny, ill-clad boy One of tlie thounanoa that wo meet As ragged "aa a boy conld be. With half a cap, with one (food thoe ; Jdfrt patch ea to keep out the winds I know the wind blew keenly too : A aeweboy, with a newsboy lung. A square Scotch face, and honest brow. And eyea tnat liked to amile ao welt They had not yet forgotten how : A newsboy, hawking bis last aheeta With loud persistence. Now and then Stopping to beat his sti ffened bands. And trudging bravely on again. Denizing about among the crowd. Shouting hia " Extras" o'er and o'er ; Pausing by whiles to cheat the wind Within some alley, by some door. ' At last he stopped six pipers left, - Tucked hopelessly beneath his arm To eye a frmtercr'a outspread store; Here products lrom some couutry farm, And there confections, all adorned With wreathed and clustered leavea and flowers, While little fount.-, like frosted spires, Toaaed up and down their mimic showers. f ...... w- -. r -. . -. .jh He stood and gazed with wistful face, All a child's longing in his eyes ; ' Then started, as 1 touched his arm. And turned in quick, mechanic wise, Baiaed his torn cap with porp'e hands. Said, ' Paper, sir T World Harold ! Times !" And brushed away a freezing tear That marked his cheek with frosty rimes. How many have you T Never mind Bon t stop to count 111 take them all ; And when you pass my office here. With stock, on hand, give me a call." He thanked me with a broad Scotch smile, A look half wondering and half glad, I fumbled for the proner change, " And said, " You seem a little lad 41 To rough it in the streets like this." " I'm ten years aid thi Christmas time !" "Yonrname?" " Jim Kanley." "Here's a bill I've nothing else, but thia one dime ' Five douars. when yon get it changed Come to my office that's the place. Now wait a bit, there's time enough ! Ton need not run a headlong race. Where do yon live t" " Moct anywhere. We hired a atal-le-loft to-day, 1i and two others." " And yon thought The fruiterer's window pretty, hey ? Or were you hungry I" " Just a bit,"" He answered, bravely as he might, " I couldnt buy a breakfast, sir. And had no money left last night." ' And jon are cold ?" " Aye, just a bit. I don't mind cold." " Why, that is strange !" He smiled and pulled his ragged cap. And darted off to get the " change." So, with half unconscious sigh, I sought my office desk again. An hear or mora my bney wita round work enough with book and pen. But when the mantel clock struck five I started with a sudden thought, For there beside my hat and cloak lay those six papers I had bought. Why. Where's the boy, and where'a the '.change He should have brought an hour ago T Ah. well ! ah, well ! they're all alike! I was a fool to tempt him so? " Dishonest ! Well, I might have known ; And yet his face seemed candid, too. He would have earned the difference a If he had brought ma what was due. " But caution aften cornea too late." And so I took my homeward way, Deeming distrust of human kind The onlyl esson of the day. Just two days later, aa I aat, Half dozing, in ur y office chair. I beard a timid knock, and called. Ia say brnaq.ua faahian. " Who is there ?" An urchin entered, barely seven The same Scotch faoe, the same blue eyes And stood, half doubtful, at the door. Abashed at my forbidding guiae. Sir, it you please, my brother Jim To afee you give the bill, yon know He couldnt bring the money, sir, Because his back was hnrted so. Be didn't mean ( o keep the ' change ;' He got runned over up the street ; The wheel went right across his back. And t'other fore-wheel smashed bis feet. They stopped the horses just In time, And then they took him up for dead. And all that day and yesterday He wasnt rightly In bis bead. " Thet took him to the hospital One of the newsboys knew Hwas Jim And I went too, because, you see. We two are brothers, I and him. ; " He had that money In his hand, And never saw it any more. Indeed, he didnt mean to steal I Ha never lost a eent before I ' He-was afraid that yon might think He meant to keep it, any way X This morning, when they brought him to, He cried because he couldnt pay. He made me fetch h's Jacket here ; It's torn and dirtied pretty bad ; It's only fit to sell for rags, , . But then, yon know. It's all he had t " When he gets well it wont be long If you will can the money lent. He eaya hell work bis fingers off But what hell pay you every cent," And then be cast srueful glance At the soiled Jacket where it lay. No, no, my boy 1 Take back the coat, Tour brother' badly hurt, you say t - Where did they take him t Just run out And hail a cab, then wait for me. Why, I would give a thousand coats. And pounds, for such a boy aa he 1" ... , . . A halAiour after tula we stood Together in the crowded wards. Aid the nurse checked the hasty steps That fell too loudly on the boards. I thought him smiling In his sleep.' And scarce believed her when eh said, Smoothing away the tangled our from brow and cheek. " The boy ia dead !" '.rj T - i "v. v Dead dead so soon T How fair be looked t One streak of sunshine sn his hair. Poor lad ! Well, it Is warm in heaven : ' .ho need ef " change" and jackets there I :.,- And something rising in my throat Made it ia so hard tor me to speak, I turned away, ard left a tear Lying open his sun burned cheek. ,7 j ' t G" "k w- i sasT w4 I "7 1 -WSB 7 -." ' 5V .1V5CH law.: Partfenlars of tto Uaa(iB of Charles Reward tojr a Mob at Dei Moines, Iowa. From the Des Moines Bejister.J Mr. Wise says that at half-past two o'clock he was awakened by a knock at the door of his bed-room, in the base ment of the, jail. He answered the knock, supposing it was a policeman with a prisoner. As he opened the door, a large man, masked, i drew a hatchefupon him. Mr. Wisecanght him by the throat, but back of the vigilant was a large crowd of ten or fifteen confederates, who bore down upon him, pressing him back into the room, when, he was thrown upon the floor and tied hand and foot. A large man was left to guardhim, which he did with his knee on Wise's breast and a cocked revolver at his head. " - They took his keys from him. Not a word was said by any of them during their'encounter with him. They took tfee keys, and went directly to the celi where Howard was and where he was' in bed with his wife. They knew all too well what was coming, for the mob has its awful forewarning in its mere murmur, as the earthquake has its awful, terrifying warning, in its faintest rumble. Breaking into the room they surged up to the bed amid the frantic and agonizing yells of bis wife. As they laid hands upon their victim, his wife threw her body directly across his breast and neck, evidently thinking they meant to kill him there with powder or blade. ' She clung to him so desperately, - intertwining her self about him with such superhuman strength that the vigilants could hard ly unloosen her grip and reach the man. And it was not till Howard himself iron-nerved and dauntless to the terri ble last took hold of her arms and with his gigantic, strength pushed her back that she released her ; frenzied grip. He did this with the ejaculation, " Let me loose, and I will go with them, if I must," The rope was then put about his neck, and he was dragged out of the bed and across the floor out of the door his wife following him with ths most agonizing screams of rhich the human voice, in its direst agony, is capable screams which, S co field and Walker and the guards say, will never die from their memories, so full of terror and supplication were they. The door was slammed to as they went, and the woman was left alone in the palpable darkness, with no companion but the grisly horror which is worse than death. As he came out of the outer jail door five or six men had hold of the rope, and he trotted along after them, clad only in a short undershirt, holdiug his two hands in : front, grasped upon the rope. He trotted up the middle stairs, the route 1 taken, and when at the head ef the steps, more men grabbed hold of the rope, which jerked Mm down upon the floor. He was not given time to rise up, rt was dragged along through the hall, down the front steps, and along the serpentine walk,' aa rap pidly as twenty strong men could draw him. Mr. Gurney says he saw him as he was going up the middle stairs, and that he had not up to that time spoken a word that he or any of the rest had heard, and he was then turning black or purple in the face. The guards also say they heard nothing from him after he left the court-room, but the boys in the postoffice, who were awakened by the nrintr which was commenced afl f around the court-house about this time. say they never Heard such awful, terri ble, startling, agonized yells, nearly a dozen shrill, piercing, unearthly screams in quick succession. : Of the rest of the work little is known. All that was known that we could print, in the short time we had, was the dangling body of Howard, swinging with his face next the re morseless iron of the lamp-post, his form nearly naked, his legs all drag gled, and begrimed, and bruised, and bleeding, and apparently six or eight ballet-holes in his feet and the lower part of his legs. He was hung with a half-inch hemp rope, thrown up over the two iron arms just below the gas lamp, put around his neck double, with the knot under his right ear, and the two ends' of the rone tied, one to the front of the nitching-frame, back of him, th.3 ether to the top of the iron fence. -' . - A Curious Fish, J The Chinese fish of Paradise is de scribed as small, of a pale gray color, and with little about it to attract atten tion. As soon as the animal becomes excited, however, the long fins on the back and beHy straighten out and as sume a rich purple hue, tinted with green. The long and forked-shaped tail spreads into a kind of fan, and the stripes under the sides of the fiah be come yellow, red and blue, constantly 'changing in color. The scales seem to become opalescent, and reflect the light with the greatest , brilliancy; while the eyes seem to be illuminated with a bluish-green fire.' : ' The habits of the animal are as odd as its appearance. The males take charge of the young and build the nest. The latter , is simply a clot of foam floating upon the water, and is made by the fish rising to the surface and alternately absorbing and expelling the air, until a little cluster of fine bubbles,: hardly three-tenths of an inch square, is formed. The female then deposits her eggs, which are at once seized upon by the male, who carries them in his mouth to the nest. Then he watches their incubation, care fully guarding - and distributing them with wonderful sagacity evenly through out tne mass of. foam. . ; When they clot together he pushes them apart with his nose, and besides, keeps up a continual manufacture of bubbles until the eggs are lifted up above the water andjrest only upon theut sof t oouoh, As Boon as the embryos appear, his care is doubled. Me watches that, none escape, and in case some become separated he chases them, catches them in bis month and replace i them carefully in the nest. If one becomes hurt he removes jt from the others and gives it a separate bub ble by itself, apparently nursing it until it regains its strength. Washington Cnstems iron vm Airo. when David Crock ett was a member of Congress, and had returned to his constituents after his first session, a " nation" of them sur rounded him one day. and began to , in terrogate him about Washington. 1 . " What time do they dine at Wash ington, Colonel ?" asked on. I " Why," said he, " common people, such as yon, here, get their dinners at 1 o'clock, but the ; gentry and big nns dine at 8. As for the Representatives, we dine at 4; and the aristocracy and the Senate, they don't get their victuals tin 5." - " Well, when does the President fod der ?" asked another. . , " Old Hickory ?" exclaimed the Colo nel, attempting to appoint a time in ac cordant with the i dignity of the sta tion, "Old Hickory? well, he don't ame till next day. FINASCE AND TRADE. Review or the) Chicago Market for tne Week Ending Dee. tel. The market remains very qoiet, the de mands for favors being light. Grain a pecu lation and packing operations have been com paratively restricted for some time past, and the nsnal demands for loans from these inter ests are not on the market. Toward the close there was an increased inquiry from the gen eral merchandise trades. Bates of interest unchanged, 10 per cent, to regular customers, with 8 to 9 per cent, to favored borrowers.

The speculative mania seems to have sub sided, and there is but iittie inclination shown to speculate, either by local or outside opera tors. Indeed, aside from the wheat trade, none of the markets appear to attract any at tention from operators worthy of mention, aud the general trade is greatly depressed. Usually, at this season of the year we have seme shipping demand for grain, but now the prices bere are too high to admit of any ac tivity in this line, and the result is an accu mulation of the stock in store. The markets at the East are in an unfavorable condition, the scarcity of ocean freight room checking and restricting the export movement. Our stocks, although not large", are steadily in creasing, the figures published above showing a general excess of receipts over shipments, and this fact operates unfavorably on the market, aiding the "Bears" in forcing a low range of prices. The Shorts do not seem to have any anxiety regarding their future contracts and are apparently satisfied with the course of affairs, manifesting but little desire to cover their trades. Outside orders were more or less restricted. Spring wheat was moderately active at times, but generally rather quiet.

The general tendency of values was to a lower range, in sympathy with the weak ness in live hogs and a general desire to "bear" the market, there being heavy offer ings of pork and lard for future delivery. Cash product was quiet, trad ing being mainly for future delivery. MessTpork opened at 919.30 casb, and closed at $13.8718.90 ; February opened at 919.10 and closed at 919.17J ; seller March closed at 919.40 Cash lard opened at 912.90 ; closed steady at about the same price.

No. 2 F.ed Cobs Oats Where Hair Comes to a Head, t A correspondent of the Philadelphia Press writes : "I have recently learned some interesting facts respecting a man ufacture in which every female head throughout the land is interested, namely, the preparation of human hair and its transformation into switches, ringlets, etc The largest- establish ment of this nature in the world exists in Germany. It is situated in a town called Wetzlar, in the valley of the Liann. It is the depot to which travel ing collectors of hair bring their wares to dispose of, and so extensive are their transactions that their wares are ar ranged in bales, each containing three and four hundred pounds of hair. These bales each contain a heteroge neous mass of human locks of every shade and texture, from raven black to flaxen blonde, from horse-hair coarse ness to silken fineness. This is the material in . the rough, and very dirty and disgusting are often the peasant grown tresses when brought into the factory. But fear nothing, ladies, fair, respecting the4cleanliness of your alien locks ; all the hair is thoroughly boiled before being placed in the hands of the work girls, of whom 600 are employed in this establishment. The hair, when dried and smoothed, is then carefully sorted according to color and length. Good brown hair of average length is worth about $15 per pound ; the highest priced hair is pure white, long tresses of which are sold, not by the pound, but by the single hair, each hair being valued at about half a cent. The most valuable of the natural hues' is pale gold ; a switch of that color was dis played, valued at nearly $100, even in that wholesale mart. The great curi osity there was a switch of light brown hair measuring six feet in'length, and for which $100 had been paid to the original owner thereof ; this unparal leled braid is not to be sold, but is to be reserved for exhibition at our Cen tennial." Yotr get the same accommodations, more attention and better fare at the Sherman House, Chicago, now than under any previous management of that excellent hotel, and for less money. In times like the present these are impor tant considerations. Thebb is so Death. If it be true thit Nature abhors a . vacuum, it Is equally true that the Great Creator ab hors death and glories in life. There is really no such thing as death the term is a misnomer, used to designate the changes which occur in life. liife, eter nal life, is created by the laws of Al mighty will-power, which are as immut able in their application as is the exist ence of the Creator himself. When God made life, he made everything necessary to sustain it, but left it or man's progressive intelligence to dis cover, convert and utilize.

Walker's California Vin egar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the na tive herbs found on tho lovrer ranges of the Sierra Nevada mountains of Califor nia, the medicinal properties of whieh are extracted therefrom without the us of Alcohol. The que3tionr ia almost daily asked, "What is the fiauae of tho unparalleled success of j.egar Bit-TERst-' Our answer is, that they remova the cause of disease, and the patient re covers his health. They are the great blood purifier and a life-giving principle, a perfect .Renovator? and; Invigorate? !"f the system Never before in th history of the -world has a medicine been eompooutied poHsossing the remarkable qualities of Vinkqab Bitters in healinir tb sick of every disease man w heir to.

Grateful Thousands proclaim Vrsr egar Bitters the most wonderful In rigorant that ever sustained the sinking system. . : ,. , , No Person can take these Bitters according- to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not de stroyed by mineral poison or other means, and vital organs wasted beyond repair. , , .. .; Uiuous, Kemittent, and Inter mittent l evers, which are so preva. lent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri,.

James, and manv others, with n their vast tributaries, "throughout our entire country during the feummer and Autumn, and remarkably so during sea sons of' unusual heat and dryness, are-, invariably accompanied by extensive de rangements of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal. viscera. , In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a pow erful influence upon these various' or gans, is essentially necessary. There is no cathartic for the purpose equal to Dr. J. Walker's Vinegar Bitters, as they will speedily remove the dark colored viscid vmatter with which the bowels are loaded, at the . same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring tho healthy functions of the digestive organs. Fortify the body against disease ly purifying all its fluids with .Vinegar Bitters. No epidemic can. take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or indigestion, Head ache, Pain in the Shoujtiers, Coughs, Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sdur Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpita tation of the lleart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the region of the Kid neys, and a hundred other painful symp toms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertise ment. ... , . . ... . - i . .

Inflammations, Mercurial Affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, Sore Eyes, etc. In these, as in all other constitutional Dis eases, Walkkr's Tikegar-Bittkrs have shown their great curative powers in the most obstinate and intractable tases. For Inflammatory and thronie Ilhenniatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the .Blood, Liver, Kidneys and; Bladder, these Bitters have no equal. .Such Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood. Mechanical Diseases. Persons en gaged in Paints and Minerals, such ast Pluinbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters, and Miners, as they advance in life,, are subject, to paralysis iof the Bowels. To guard, against this, take it dose of Walkkb's Vin egar BittiCks occasionally. " j.
