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- ger in the Pension Office., - 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.

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.

" Keralyt Castle ? Thiu is running tato the lion's mouth indeed. Were the Count 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 homeless dog," Supper was otter Kerolyi Carel*, and the glottis had retired, but the Count him- self and one of his friends: Mood watching the storm from the ahelter of a turret.

" I wish we could have 'Lethally seen him dead, though. abet -fellow has more lives than a met, or ] couldn't have so often es - coped the hands of your Excellency, the best swordsman in Baegary." " Some mid Morltacz was better," grew'. 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 man." " Done I" said a deep voice out of the darkneee below. " Who'e there 2" cried Karolyi, peering over the battlements into the gloom. Come demi and you'll see," enewereel 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. on the stone floor, Any other man would have given himself up for boat; but not so 'Count Karolyi.

But Mor drew beck and fluog down halve:Tone "We bate been enemies," raid he, proud. ly, " but Mor Rues een tot !Alike an unarm- ed ram. Get yourself another mord, and we will begin again."

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.

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.
