A Boy's Haut for Ofdoa.
Soon after Preeident Cleveland took pos.
section of the White House a little chap
about twelve years of age, named Howard
Fairfax Lee, obtained an audience, and
earnestly pleaded for an appointment in one
of the daparemente to moist in supporting
his mother and several brothers and sisters.
I The little fellow pressed his claim in such e
manly, straightforward way that the Pried.
dental interest was excited; and he resolved,
if the case proved. on exatnination th be a
worthy one, to assist the young office -seeker.
Howard le very small for his age, but is re.
markably bright and intelligent, and ex-
presses hit ideas of men and things in Ian.
guage that would do credit to a person many
years his senior. He lives beyond the city
limite, in the vicinity of Brightwood, and is
the eldest of four or five children. The
President smoke to SecretiwyManningrebout
providing a place in the Treasury Depart-
ment for the boy, but when the latter made
his appearance before the Secretary he was
pronounoed too smell to be of any material
value to the public service. Thereupon
Howard repaired to the White House, and,
wfth tears in his eyes, told the President
the result of hie interview with Secretary
Manning. Some one suggested to the little
fellow that he would probably be more
successful with Secretary Lamar. Off he
went to the Interior Department, where.
hefound the Secretary surrounded by a room-
ful of politicians and office seekers. He
finally got an opportunity th state hie case
to the kind hearted Secretary, who at once
became interested in hie story and promised
to help him. Day after day the youthful
applicant haunted the corridorc of the In-
terior Department and watched hie chance
to steal an interview with the Secretary
when the vigilant oolored messenger was not
looking. Finally the boy was taken sick,
and the Seoretary missed his visite to his
office. One afternoon last week the Secre-
tary, upon inquiry, found where the little
fellow lived and celled to see Wm. Find-
ing that the case was really a deserving one,
he informed the boy's mother that her eon
should have an appointment ta soon as he
was able to be About. The good new"
quickly restored Howard's health, and a
day or two ago he was appointed a meesen-

Escape of an English Ship.
The captain of the Duke of Devon:shire,
which arrived at Sydney on the 91h ult re-
ports having experienced for five hours the
roughest weather he ever met with in the
Gulf of Aden, Two steamers were observed
to founder at the time, but no assistance
could be rendered, as they expected their
own steamer to go down every moment.
The Duke of Devonshire was chartered by
the Governmentto take troops out to India,
but the order was countermanded at the
last moment. It was fortunate, as with
such a number of men on board the hatches
could not have been kept closed, and the
steamer must have inevitably foundered,
Dr Edwards, surgeon of the ship, gives a
thrilling amount of the passage through the
oyolone. He says that on the 3d of June
whilst going through thechannel, the ad-
vance of morning brought signs of steam-
pherie obanges, the weather became squally
and unsettled, and the sea rose with marvel-
lous quickness, huge waves rearing them-
selves perpendicularly, and breaking in a
mos in mid air. For nearly two hours no
man on board oould move for fear of being
blown away. The escape was regarded as

BY BAWD KER.
The sky was black as night, the ram fell
in torrent", the wind howled through the
swaying pines, while clap after clap of thun-
der awoke all the echoes of the rooky
which stetted to view ever and anon in a
blindieg glare of' lightning, only to vanialt
again m deeper darkness. It was a night
When no one who could help it would have
oared to be out upon the wild Hungarian
mountains between Nagy-Varad and Itsoloez-
var ; and ao, evidently, thought the tatter-
ed, half-starved man who was struggling up
the drenched and slippery hilleide,
"11 I had with me hell e: dozen of 'the
brave lade who lie deaul yowler," he growl-
ed, " I shouldn't need to elink into the for -
este like a hunted wolf. Where on earth
hey° I got to I wonder ? I must keep clear
of the villages, for every one knows me
here,"
Juet then a brigiterflesh than usual *how -

" Keralyt Castle ? Thiu is running tato

to guete that I was within his reach, my
head would be °tithe higheetof them turret',
iu a trice, warrant."
He turned as if te take flight, but in an-
othermoment faoed round nein, and setting
hie teeth doggedly, wentatreight up toward
the castle gate.
"Let liTni kill me if he likes," muttered
he. " A little =ore of chiswouli mon make
an end of me, and rd rattler die by a brave
man's hand than be starved by inehee like a

ed the Count.
" But although I've often coned blades
with him, one can t judge of a ram's:mortis-
manship in the thiek of a battle. If he
were alive now, and we could lusve a quiet
half hour together, with no one to diaturb
us, wed soon cattle which wasthe hotter

" Done I" said a deep voice out of the
darkneee below.
" Who'e there 2" cried Karolyi, peering
over the battlements into the gloom.

the unknown,
Down went the Count without 1;ec1tetion,
although, for all he knew, he might find
there a band of armed men ready to cut hie
throat. But all abet he found was the rag-
ged stranger alreadymentioned.
"Come in, man, whoever you are," ex-
claimed the Count heartily. "1 wouldn't
shut out a dog on a night like this,"
Before you Admit me, hear who I am,"
answered the stranger, proudly. " My name
is Mor Rem."
" What! not dead after all ?" cried Km-
olyi, in a tone of satisfaction -which might
well have surprised any one who knew that
this man was hie deadliest enemy. "Come
in !come in 1 We'll have a chance at last
of trying whiele of us is the better sworde-
man ; but I suppose," he added, with skean
glance at his enemy's haggard face and was-
ted figure, "that you're hardly in fighting
trim justnow."
"1 have not tasted food," answered the
mountain chief, "since my comradee fell."
"Two whole days, oh! Well, we'll soon
pat that to rights.. Just wait here for one
moment."
He ran upstairs, apologized for bidding
his friend goodnight, by saying that a Mall
had come to him upon urgent business, and
then returned to Recz, whom he led into
a small room on the ground.floor, and mit
such a meal before him as the hunted man
had not seen for many a day.
Mor ate like a starved wolf ; and when he
was at length satisfied (or rather when he
could hold no more the Count, who had
watched his performance with conaiderable
amusement, led him up to one of the turret
chambers, and teking the key out of the
door, placed it in his hand.
A momentary gleam of pleasure lighted
up Racz's worn face. He understood that
hia enemy was too proud to secure him by
locking him in, and he felt grateful for
the courtesy.
"Sleep well," mid the Count, as he closed
the door; "and to -morrow at daybreak
we'll try which of us can kill the other."
When the Count came th the turret next
morning he found his strange guest already
astir, and fairly started at the lattere alter-
ed appearance. After all his sufferings, one
good meal and one night's rest had sufficed
to recruit the mountaineer'siron frame; and
se he stood there, with the light of battle in
his great black eyes, and an elastio quiver
of repressed strength in hie long, sinewy
limbs, he looked a match for any man upon
earth.
The Count looked the door inside, and of-
fered the two swards that he had brought
with him to Race, who took one without a
word. The next moment the blades met and
the combat began.
Karolyi was a splendid swordsman, but
this time he had met his match. In vain he
tried countless feints and passes which had
never failed him before ; Mor's blade seem-
ed to play around him like a flash of light-
ning, meeting and baffling him at every
urn. ;The word e shot forth showers of
parks as they rasped together, and the
vaulted room echoed with the clash of steel,
the stamping of feet, and the hard breathing
of the combatants. .
Suddenly Mor attacked in his turn, and
for a few moments the quickest eye could
not have followed the blades as they darted
to and fro, rising, quivering, falling and ris-
ing again. All at once a 'sharp crash was
heard, and the Count's sword blade, broken
off within an inch of the hilt, fell ringing up.

Valid Excuses.
A Scotch professor has mule up hie mind
never again on any coneideration whatever
to tell hie students what a high opinion he
has of the "Dead March" in Saul. Music,
it should be explained, is the delight of his
declining years, and he peal the famous
march before everything. "11 a student,"
he explained one uoluoky day to his atten-
tive class, were to tell me that he had ab-
sented himself from a lecture in order to
hear the "Deadtlexch' in Saul,Iwould consid-
er the excuse valid." The rash assertion was
received with cheers. The next dav the
class was very thinly attended, and the
lecture interrupted by the entrance of the
janitors with notes. "Dear sir," these
read, "1 hope you will excuse my absence
to -day, as I am off to hese the ' Dead March'
in Saul." "Dear she—Having heard that
the Dead March ' in Sat,/ is to be played
to -day at the cemetery, I find myself unable
to stay away from it. Hoping you will,"
,eto. "Dear she—You will be pleased to
hear that, after your remarks of yesterday
on the subject of the Dead March' in Saul,
I have bought a flute," eto. The poor man
bore up for a time, but tbe notes of absence
went from bad to worse. ".Dear sir," they
began to read— "1 was yesterday so fas-
cinated by the Dead March' in Sala that I
propose making a earful study of this solemn
measure. In these circumstances I hope
you will overlook my necessary absence
from the lectures for the next few dap."
"Dear sir,—I regret that, on first hearing
it, the' Dead March' ha Saul made less im-
pression on me than I had expected. As I
would be reluctant, however, to judge the
piece by such slight acquaintance, I shall,
with your permaaion, attend tomorrow's
rectal." Worst of all—" Dear Sir,—We,
the undersigned, have pleasure in informing
you that we have joined a music -class for
the purpose of practising the 'Dead March'
in Saul. Unfortunately the practising takes
place during the hours of your lectures,
vvhieh will prevent our attendance at the
latter being as regular as we could have
wished."

Extraordinary Case of Rydrophobia.
A singular case of madness in a dog has -
occurred at Brighton, Eng., which will doubt
less engage the attention of the faculty. One
day a retired carpenter, Thomas Potten, of
temen's Gardens destroyed hinutelf by cut.
tam his throat, and the evidence pointed
to the fact that he was not of sound
mind, one of the family being au inmate of
the Hapiard's Heath County Lunatic Asy-
lum, and his own actions being of a charac-
ter which induced his friends to keep a watch
upon him. On the morning in question he
was suddenly missed, and found weltering
in hi:3,1)100d, which was being licked by an
Italian grey -hound belonging to his son, a
gymnast, who was training it for a series of
performances. It was with that end in view
constantly kept indoors, and could not have
been bitten by any rabid animal, and had,
previously to, the above circumstance, shown
no symptoms of rabies. Two days after,
however, the dog was found to be ill, foamed
at the mouth, was to all appearance going
mad. The owner, being of °photon that
many dogs were destroyed asrabid that were
not so infected, kept the animal confined in
the hope that he might benefit science there-
by; but, although properly cared for and
treated, the animal became so infuriated
that it was found nedessary for safety's sake
to destroy it, the animal being afflicted with
hydrophobisin its worst forme No other
solution of the dog's condition can be given
by its master than that it was infecten by
the blood of the unfortunate man who, in a
fit of insanity, had committed suicide.
