John Smith was only In danger of having his brains spattered over the surrounding real estate when Pocahontas rescued him with her love. The John Smith of Alaska was not only in danger of being killed, but of being oaten, wtaon the woman in whoso eyes ha found favor saved him. The Alaska John Smith, says the San Francisco Examiner, was not a titled explorer when he fell into the hands of the savagos, nor was his name John Smith. lie was only a common yellow skinned sea , cook. His name is Ah Wing, and there is nothing attractive about him. He is about as homely a mixturo of Chinaman and Malay pirate as could be found in a day's walk. Ilis Pocahontas answers to tho name oi Julio just now, but nobody knows what her Indian name was. she is a Ion' way from being Pocahontas' equal i beauty, and tho Siwash fcal.uros of gcr orations worn consolidated wiien he face was made. Still tlio romance is there. Ah Wing and Julie, now Mrs. Ah Wing arrived h"re on a n -xltiih schoon or several months Miff1, but have not gone into society vet. They rosido on Koss alley, in tUi'iimuv.vn, and submit- ted to an interview j.twdy. They only submitted V, it. they did not take part in it. and when it canio to securing the story of ilioh-love the reporter was obliged to obtain bis Information from a third parly, to wbo;:i Vinr li:ul c i-ilided it in explanation of his olf-ciLir bri.lo. Ah Wing, some nine yc:vc ivo, was a cook in tho employ of the Navy Depart ment, and was shipped north on the Jamestown. Whilo on tho Sitka sta tion Wing's timo expired or lio deserted just which is not quite plain and shipped aboard a whaler. The whaler was wrecked and Wing was cat up on an inhospitablo ieo-iloo. Julie was the daughter of a chief of a tribe of Indi ans, and, while hunting with her father, discovered Ah Wing, w ho was a noar dead from starvation, (told and ex posure as it was possible for him to be and retain life. For days and days Julio nursed him, and he dually rvcuv ered, to find himself the object of a great deal of attention on the part of the Indians. Thev could speak no Chinese or English, and Wing hud ne comprehension of thoir dialect, llo va at a los to understand the Polieit'tdc with which they fed him y.r.d i.io inter est they took in watching the iu-euinula tion of fat on his ribs. A, la-i. ih( horrid truth dawned upon him at l";isi eo ho says. They were going to barLeeiu and eat him. He attempted to escape, but was capt ured and returned to tho village Kisdput under guard. The fatal day arrived. Wing was informed by pantomime that an inciHion would be made in his neck and his life fluid allowed to escape into a soap-stone bafiin. He gave all up for lost, when ho was inspired by the sight of Julio in tears. lie made love to her. She comprehended and went to ask papa. The old chief was fond of his daughter and could refuse her nothing, lie issued an edict against baked Wing. The re mainder of the village protested, and tho chief was obliged to state why ho desired tho stranger's life preserved. Tho objectors gave in and Wing and Julie woro married in Indian style. Wing lived with tho tribe for some time, but never became very popular He was not much of a hunter, and pre ferred to lie around tho bouse, sewing with the women, to chasing polar bears, walruses, seals and the like. Finally he bad a chance to escape. A boat's crew came in from a schooner to trado for skins. Their cook was dead, and Wing begged them to take him away with them. Wing's father-in-law gave him leave of absence for throe months and sent Julie along with him to insure bis return. Thej aailod away, and after much ma rine wandering and transferring from one vessel to another, arrived in San Francisco. Wing had a taste for the needle and secured a job of tailoring. The faithful Julie proved an adept and bare Wing's labors. They still find tome difficulty in conversing. Wing knows a few words of English and a few of Indian.' Julie knows a few of En glish and a torn of Chinese. When thrlf ainMnilons become Mi HtAD CONTEST. at once, anu tno talk is very oxcmnu. There is a little Wing now, and ho is learning all three languages. Julio will not livo lung hore; sho al ready shows signs of consumption, de veloped presumably by tho unaccus tomed foul air. The story has been pretty well au thenticated, with tho exception of the intention of the Indians to eat Wing after killing him. Ilis own countrymen do not believe this part of the story, but Wing adheres to it sloutly, and the strongest tie between him aud his wifo is his gratitude to her lor saving him from such a fato. Voyagers to tho North slate that they havo heard of cannibalism among the Indians, but it hus always linen at tributed to isolated insUuii.-es of starva tion's necessity, and not habit. Watohee In Card Cues. Among the latest novelties in the way of card cases is a very dainty little one made of very finely dressed leather. In one corner of the case is set a tiny little watch. The effect of this is very pretty, and, besides this, the combina tion is a very useful one. Ladies are often put to a great doal of trouble in taking out thoir watches when on the street Carrying this little time-piece set in their card case or pocket-book saves them a11 this trouble, and then, too, when making calls they have a little Hentle reminder in their hands that they must not overstay their wolcome. Watches set in this way in card cases and pocket-books are much more popular than the bracelet watch attachment The novelty was imported from Paris, but is now boing manufactured very largely in this country. The cost ol these card cases and pocket-books it from seven dollars and fifty cents up. N. Y. Mail and Expross. Found a Roll of Bills. " He stood at a bar on Broadway s'lialc Ingdice with the bartender, says the Milwaukee Wisconsin, and, glancing at the floor, discovered a roll of bills. The room was full of men, and if none of them claimed the money the bartender would, so self-interest demanded that be should pick up the money without being seen. lie planted his foot upon it, and tossed the dice while he looked for an opportunity to grab the roU. When the bartender had "done" him a lozen times or more the opportunity same, and he heaved a sigh of relief as he shoved the roll into his pocket. He hastened to his office on the West Bide to examino his find. There was twenty two dollars in the roll just the amount le had put in a roll in his other pocket.

Leander married Sophia Merrick, Deacon Merrick's oldest daughter; a rich ohl aunt, ifter whom Sophia had been named, uied nd left :20,OiJ0 to S phia. so, us you will groe, Sophia was us eligible a young worn n as ever started in upon a patchwork uilt. Some folks said notably Hepsival Green, vho wore a pee-wee hat simply because she tnew that the pee-wee wus Leander's avorite bird some folks said that Sophia as high-strung, meaning thereby that ophia was neither so meek as Moses nor i patient as the good old patriarch who eeded cuticura. But when Leaudersaw Sophia's pretty face, or heard her sten orian contralto voive lifted up in the choir, irwhen (perchance) tho imaginative fac dties of his mind grappled and tiallied with he pleasing circumstance that Sophia had J0,000 in her own right then, ah, tirn .eander allowed, not secrotiy but openly id boldly, that Sophia was tbe likeliest rl in the township, and outside of the wnship Leander's acquaintance extended .ot. In spite, therefore, of the malic ious libels f the other women folks Leander kept pay ig attentfon to Sophia, and this sort of hing culminated, only and naturally, in a ;edding at which the orido's mother wept ipiously and the bride's father became jandalously hilarious over a dipperful oi ard cider. The day before the wedding eander made a modest effort to iind out .hat portion of her 120,000 Sophia meant to Hot to him as a dower, but at the mere uggestion Sophia went into hysterics and md to be cupped by the doctor before she vas brought out all right. So Leander nade up his mind to hide his time. Love is X famous begetter of patience and fortitude. It took Leander just about six months to Snd out that what folks had said about jophia's temper was not a libel; Hepsival Jreen had told the truth. Sophia was a ihrew. The most mortifying phase of the lituation, however, was that Sophia hung m to her $30,000 yes, she guarded and olung to that 430,000 as only an argus-eyed, briarean-handed woman can guard and oling. Leander had to work for his living, and that, ns some of us are painfully aware, involves an embarrassing lot of sweat and weariness. Still Leander did not repine ; it leemed as if that 120,000 danced like an gnis-fatuus continually before his eyes, illing his bosom with hope, if not confi dence. "All things come to him who vans,'' said Leander fool optimist that he Villi They had been married about six years when they moved to Worcester. Sophia had tired of country life; she pined for the noise, the bustle and the excitement of the jity ; so they moved to Worcester, where here are six trains a day each way. They .iad no children, but Sophia, having drawn l dividend on her Filchburg stock one ipring, bought a parrot for seven dollars, md about this callow bird of song did the tendrils of her heart gradually entwine .hemselves. it was a gaudy but solemn nrd, was the parrot. For hours would it lit in the giit ring in its capaoious zinccage, staring dully into space and uttering no sound whatsoever. Suphiacalled itDinkety surely a most frivolous name for so cir cumspect a bird 1 1 Leander hue. lo use for parrots. As al ready intimated (advisedly and without prejudice,!, Leander's favorite bird was the pee wee, the tiny songster which, either caroling in its native bush, or crowning the head of a buxom rural maiden, is alike a joy and a thing of beauty. Leander saw noth ing to admire in the vulgar-hued, watch eyed and taciturn parrot. It annoyed him to behold that gloomy creature staring va cantly into space it annoyed and hypno- uzed him. "I shall wring its neck some- time," said he, but he never passed any such remark in the hearing of his wife. He respected Sophia's ieelings. There is, ac companying the feelings of a wife who is vorth $20,0110, a certain sauetity so well de iued and so sucred that no discreet hus )and will violate it. They had been married going on eight Vears, when Sophia up and died. Leander buried her and marked her grave with a simple marble slab bearing the ambiguous legend "At Rest." It transpired that Sophia h id left a will It was rather of a surprise to Leauder. Lawyer Bcebe filed it and proved it up in .he Probate Court. It was a simple docu 0ent. It left Sophia s entire fortune to Meander, in trust for tho parrot, and in the ' ?vent of the parrot's death from natura1 : auses the fori one was to pn.sa without re- ir, dy ana unostentatiously out ei i.er.iiuer unwary thumb or exposed wrist. i About this time another embarrassing complication arose. The parrot hud been young, but now it begun to mature, and all at once its palate and vocal chords devel oped functions of an extraordinary char acter. The parrot began to croak some-, what, and then it begau to mutter inco herently, and finally it begau to articulate and to phrase. One morning Leander was awakened by a voice calling: "Leander! Leander 1" He sprang out of bed terrified, shivering. "Morciful heavens 1" he groaned. "It is my wife--she has come back from the grave!" Then the voice called again and It was anmistakahly Sophia's voice: "Leander git up 1 Leander, git a move on ye !" It was not Sophia, however Sophia was iead and buried : nor was it, Sophia's ghost. It was Dinkety, the parrot. You see, the bird had not talked before, bocause it was too young to talk. As soon as it got old enough to talk it spoke the words most fa miliar to it- -words it had heard Sophia ding at and into Leander day after day, week after week, month after month. This was natural enough. There is nothing new under the sun. Diukety did simply what we are all doing. The task ol picturing Leander's misery were vain foi us to undertake. Inadequate to that task, we shall simply say that Leander suffered suffered for days, for weeks, for months, yet suffered in silence, foi the austere horrors of the probate court had terrorized him. Perhaps ah, who shall say perhaps he was somewhat buoyed up by the dim and twinkling hope that sometime (false word 1) his reward would be harvested in the death the natr ural but none the less righteous death of this wretched bird. At any rate, Leander bore his martyrdom mutely. "It must be," said Lawyer Beebe, ever and anon ; "it must be a sweet consolation to you to have this perpetual reminder of your sainted wife to hear continually the echo of deceased's voice and to leel that, al though she lives only in the spirit, the en dearing epithets with which Sophia's melodious contralto! caressed your ears are till preserved by this inspired bird. Leander, you are the blessed beneficiary of a special providence." Leander never made any audible answer to congratulations of this character. But hisf. ee spoke volumes, and even then tho sentiments that surged in his bosom were not half spoken. Meanwhile, Dinkety, the parrot, resurrected and revived Sophia in every particular except that of the flesh. A demoniac activity had now succeeded to that semi-comatose condition which charac terized the earlier years of the miserable bird. Sometimes it thrust its cerulean head ut between the bars of its zinc cage and ihrieked : "You think you're going to get my money, ehl Leander, Leander, I'll fool you yet I" At other times, standing upon its adamantine beuk and rasping the air with Its hornv claws, the grvttame creat- are cried: "Never marry for Jjrney, hen ffain but whv enumerate tfc r..

"I will bear it patiently," said Leander to jluiself. -iiy time wid come; the parrot will die a natural death and then the tao.OOO (hall be mine. I shall be happy then rich ind happyand 1 shall have a parrot for linner every day !" But one morning while Leander was read ng a newspaper he turned pale and .rembled violently. His eyes caught au trticle headed "Facts About Pan ots." The irticie started out in this wise : "At a re nt meeting of the French Academy Prof. Achilla Savin-Brillait made the interesting rtatement that ornithologists were now agreed that the life of the average parrot exceeded one hundred years." Leander gasped; just then he heard s voice his Sophia's voice rasp out in file ike tones of exultation: "Never marry for money, Leander never marry foi money 1" Leander gave it up then and there. Hf gathered himself together, proceeded to t jheap lodging-house, routed a room, turned 3n the gas, went to bed, and died miserable of a broken heart. By chance as be de parted from his own house he left the front door open and a vagrant cat, wild with hunger, entered and afier a three hours' battle vanquished DiDltety, the parrot, and ate it. So, after ail, Diukety died the death natural to parrots, by which we mean a violent death, which, we aver, ihmdd be natural to parrots even though ornithologists and probute courts hold otherwise. The minister who preached Leander's funeral sermon was very eloquent, for the estate paid handsomely for it. "Ninthly," said the minister, Hve draw this lesson from the life of the deceased: Never to" But why quote the minister, since you who have read this true narrative must cer tainly ere this have gathered the mora hereof Chicago News. 1500 Will be Given For any oase of rheumatism wliich can not be cured by Dr Drnmmond's Light ning Remedy.

Some of them look as if they had made a mistake and gobbled up a woman that ought to have been some other man's wife, and some women a good many women look like victims of some kind of a mistake. It is not un common, says the Chicago Herald, to see women dressed with all respect to the latest designs sent out by Worth or Felix, while the husband seems grate ful that he has enough money left to buy even "misfits." This attracts no particular attention, but one's heart will get to aching for the little pallid faced and meek-looking woman who wears a plush cloak and alapaca dress, while the husband is radiant in fresh new suits, tan-colored gloves, silk hat and red rose in buttonhole. I spent an hour in with the pale-faced woman and radiant husband yesterday. It was in a steam car. There were four chil dren with them, the oldest about six years. . Tl wife had on, in addition to the plush ctbak, a rusty black hat and gray veil. The children were dressed beautifully. How they loved her! One little fellow came back to kiss her about twice in five minutes. It was "Oh, mamma, isn't that lovely?" and "How long will it be before we are there, mamma?" and "Are you glad we are going?" and "Dear mamma." She gave them some fruit. They would not eat it until mamma bad a "bite. " The father was radiant, and dignified and grand. . He never got a kiss, nor a "bite," nor a glance from those four children. He paid their fare and looked out of the window. He had his fine clothes, but the mother was rich in aU the love that could fill little hearts. Good Looks.

More or less sportive artifice enters intn the narrv-and-thrust of law yers' combats in court. Faney the drollery of a man like Webster playing upon the word "doctor." Ilurper'b Magazine says: Daniel Webster, when in full prac tice, was employed to defend the will of Roger Perkins, of Ilopkinton. A physician made affidavit that the testa tor was struck with death when be signed his will. Webster subjected bis testimony to a most thorough examination, showing, by quoting medical authorities, that doe tors disagree as to the precise moment when a dying man is struck with death, some affirming that it is at the corn men .ement of the disease, others at its climax, and others still affirming that we begin to die as soon as we are born. "I should liketo know," said Mr. Sul livan, the opposing counsel, "what doc tor maintains that theory." "Dr. Watts," said Mr. Webster, with ffreat gravity. The moment we begin to live We all begin to die." The reply convulsed the court and audience with laughter. All free.

To-day there are less than 500 head of tbe animals in existence. There are but eighty-five head of wild buffaloes, 804 alive in cap tivity, and about 300 under the protec tion of the Government in Yellowstone Park. There is also said to be about 650 head in the British possessions, north of Montana, but this is rumor. Of the eighty-five head of wild buffaloes which are known to exist, twenty-five are in Texas, twenty in Colorado, twenty-six in Wyoming, ten in Mon tana and four in Dakota. The statistics have been carefully gathered by the officials of the Smithsonian Institution, and it is absolutely known that the number stated comprise all tbe wild buffaloes of the world. The skeletons of the numerous herds of a score of years ago are bleaching on the Western plains, a tribute to the powers of tb American Nimrod. Woman' ( u iucc ai Forty. I don't cure if I am an old maid,1 said a charming woman. "If I wait till forty I'll be bound to make a brilliant match." This sounded startling at first, but as she went on to explain, her theory seemed quite likely. "Men marry women every day," she said, "who are faded, old and of dubious fig ures, when they might marry pretty young girls. But the girls didn't know how to manage them. So experience) won in plact of youthful ignorance." Bow the Dnaheee Musi e4 Zt. The orthography of our great-grandmothers was uncertain.
