Hunan, known to Father Hoi, a great
traveler and missionary of that period,
while he was with the Indians on what
we now call the Pacific coast, was many
years afterward met by him in Asia.
Through many vicissitudes and strange
experiences she had passed from tribe to
tribe and place to place, always moving
northward, until she reached Bearing
strait, and there, having gone out in one
of the large canoes used by the seafaring
Indians of that region, in a great storm
they were driven across the strait to
wreck and death to all save her, and she

in the interior of Asia. She had not

A yonng dentist who opened an office
on Jefferson avenne finds a good many
discouragements. Bis first patient was
a thin young man wbo wore no waist
coat, and triced up his person with a
pink and yellow belt
There was a profitable hour or two in
the chair, during which the young den
tist told his funniest stories as he filed
and chiseled and bussed. At length, in
stead of filling np the biggest cavities
with gold and charging ten dollars
apiece, the conscientious beginner said:
"Shall 1 pnt in a soft filling, sir!"
"1 board,'' replied the exhausted oc
cupant of the chair briefly.
"Beg pardon," said the dentist doubt
fully. "1 asked you about a soft filling."
"Thunder and lightning," shouted the
patient, sitting up in the chair and pull
ing his mouth into shape: "1 tell yon 1
live in a boarding house, and if you've
got any gronnd glass, amalgam or rolled
steel caps use 'em. Boft filling, you
crazy coot; do 1 look like a suicide?"

The other caw is one of those atwhicb

is a pr&roerous busiueMs man living on At
lactic avenue. Brook ij-n, and a very ear
nest spiritualist. His daughter Carrie
died at the age of one year, out she fas
gone right on growing in the spirit world
and has recently brought ber 'picture as s
young spirit lady .to ber parent. Her
earth father tbus describes tbe spirit's ad
rent to his parlor '
"At first something white, intangible
and quivering appears as if coming througb
the carpet; then it assumes the form of a
lady's cambric handkerchief, expanding
as if .with difficulty until it assumes the
shape of an Infant's body and reaches the
height of two feet, after which it grows
rapidly and gracefully uutil it has devel
oped to tbe normal size It possessed in its
earth life, with features wearing a most
benign expression."
Carrie's portrait is not at all beyond the
talents of an earth artist, and an amateur
at that. It represents a fair average
young woman with a remarkably high
forehead and Ions; carls. Mr. Miller and
CABitll MHXUL

The record for cold weather for tbe
winter was broken Wednesday morn
ing, when the atmosphere was intensely
frigid. The air was so full of frost that
the appearance of a fog was given. Tbe
lowest paint reached by tbe mercury in

low sera. It required the thickest kind
of clothing and rigorous exercise upon
tbe part of pedestrians in the early
morning hours to keep comfortable.
At Shirley it was ii degs. below ten.

and the same relative report comes
from many other places in this vicinity.
Tbe weather was the chief topic ot son

siderably warmer, but there was a very
perceptible chill in the air, and late ia
the afternoon it was again quite cold.

Gen. Butler's voice is not so powerful
as it used to be. In fact it is difficult
to hear him a dozen feet away, though
be occasionally tires np and some of his
old time force presents itself. Be still
relies considerably on the sympathy of
tbe jury, especially when he is defending
a comely woman. Bis method of argu
ing his case is tbe same in substance as
it always has been. Plenty of wit and
humor run througb bis speech, and these,
with all toe pathos his case will permit
combine to make his always eloquent
pleas more effective. Bis favorite atti
tude while addressing tbe jury is to brace
bis broad shoulders against the clerk's
desk. Bis hands are deeply thrust into
into his pockets; he seldom gestures.
