Pasteur during the last two years. ^ The statistics given in the return are translated from a table suj)plied by M. Pasteur from the records of the Pastern* Institute. The returns ■ show that in 1887 there Avere sixty-four British sub jects treated at the Pasteur Institute. Of these, five died—viz : Loi’u Boneraile, who was sixty-seven years of age, whose limbs Avere bitten in ten places, Avhose wounds AA’ere not cauterized, and -whose injuries Avere received from a dog recog nized to be rabid by a veterinary sur geon; John Hagden, aged eight years, another victim, Avas bitten four times in the head by a dog reoog-nized to be •1 1 ^ . ------ •— iitai test; he Avas A N P t F children are dead, and all five of I vx H a U 1-1 them ceased to breathe on the 14th of October. The name of the head of this family is Joslma FrauMin, and their residence Glade Mountain, W est Vir ginia. Mr. Franklin says that he Avas a Confederate soldier, that he Avas cap tured tAvice b y the United States troops, and that he lost two brothers in the war; and that all four of these misfortunes occurred on the memorable 14th of Oc tober. In the neighborhood the family is regarded AV'ith superstition, and n o t a human being can be j>reAuiled upon to stay in the house or on the premises on — . t . 1 . 1 - As - v a v i i . 2 n l - a ^ bitten; Martin Cahill, ■cauterized; Albert Kirk] ed thii-ty, not am, aged five, and Frederick Lindly, aged tw'enty-fiA'e, both cauterized, but all three bitten by animals recognized to be rabid, died each within one month after being bit ten. In the year 1888 M. Pastern* had twenty-one British subjects under his care. No deaths occurred among them but one, a Avoman named Hei*minie Per- tolde, who Avas bitten on the 2d of De cember last by a dog recognied as rabid, is still undergoing treatment. I t is a Avell-known fact that the dying .-are often able to see the principal facts of their lives, which otherwise have ■been forgotten for many years, clearly -and accurately before tl^em. The reason for this clairvoyance a'* French doctor -ascribes to a sudden modification of the cerebral circulation, which can also be brought about by artificial means. Thus be tells of a case of a j>atient Avho Avas dying of consumption. He had already lost consciousness, Avhen, having been reviA*ed by two successive injections of one gramme of ether, the dying man slowly raised his head and rapidly pro nounced a string of AA’-ords, which no one near h im Avas able to understand, as they were Flemish. After some movements indicating impatience, he made a sign that he wished to write. A pencil and paper Avere then handed to him, and he wrote rapidly three or foiu* lines, also ip Flemish. Tliis man, who whs a native of Antwerp, had lived in Paris for many years' and never-wrote or spoke anything but French; but \v*hen dying, he seemed tp be unable to recollect that > language. Afterwards i t was found that liis pencil note was about a debt of $3.50, which he had bon*oAA*ed from somebody at Brussels in 1868 and which had never been paid.

Six ounces of snoAV and one-fourth ounce of dirt and sand were found iu the bottom of a dish. The dirt is very fine, something like emery, and conitain:5 particles that have a metallic luster. This dii*ty snow fell to the dej)tli of half an incli. The at mosphere at the time presented a pecu liar greenish tinge. There Avas a little Aviud bloAviiig at the time from the northAA'est, tliougl^ there seemed to be considerable wind higher in the air. Solid chunks of ice and sand are report ed to have been picked up iu various iplaees. T he eoi*pse of a white man Avas found beside the Baltimore and Ohio Kailroad, near Brandywine Bildge, Maryland. The face Avas mutilated, but the body was not. I t Avas first thought that the body Avas that of William J. Patton. The father recognized the body as that of his son, and h ad it removed to his home, where the coipse Avas washed to prejiare for hui*ial. The family was loudly mourning its loss, when Mr. Patton’s daughter gave the body a more scrutinizing look, and at once declared that it was n ot her brother. The re mainder of the family came to the same conclusion, although lained. T1 T he highest price on record for a postage stamp was realized recently in London Avhen an unused four-cent British Guiana stamp of 1856 w*as knock ed down a t auction to a dealer for $250. The same gentleman also bought a simi lar stamp, which had, however, been through the post for $190.

At Ka Feng F u a private soldier was on guard over thirty boxes of bullets, AAdiich it Avas the duty of a petty officer to in spect tAvice a day. The soldier skillfully abstracted the bullets from the boxes, and was finally found out. Then the punishment began. The soldier was condemned to penal servitude for life and a flogging of a hundred blows. The petty officer, Avho h ad failed to inspect the boxes satisfactorily, was dismissed the service and received eighty bloAvs. His Lieutenant has been cashiered in order to be tried for connivance in the theft, and he has disappeared. And the military authorities in Peking are con sidering what punishment to inflict on the General in command. H ^ fsjattek ^ a faim er and kportsman living near the line of. Bour bon and Nicholas Counties, K y ., has Avitnessed an aerial contest for supre- , m acy between two eagles which proba bly eclipsed anything in the Avay of a battle between birds ever witnessed on the continent. Wliat he supposed were two small birds were seen at a great height and a quarter of a mile away ’ ting and descending and approach- nearer to him. They fought and (scended u n til they landed a t Ids feet. horse, and I had no trouble in reaching the spot Avliere the carcass hung. The last 100 feet of the way Avas a passage not over ten feet wide, betw*een high Avails, and the j>itcli was about the same as an orclinaiy house roof. As there w as no danger from the I n dians, and as I exjpected to have my hands full AAith the sled, I did not take my rifle. We hadn’t sighted a bear for foiu* weeks, and I Avorked aAvay getting a tinfre of doubt stout sled ■. ® J .1 __ without the slightest uneasiness. I wras about ready to start when I heard a “woof!” aboA'e me, and I looked up to see a big grizzly standing on a sort oi shelf about sevOnty-five feet uj) the mountain.

Mr. Barnum w-anted one the Avorst way, and had been on the lookout for one for many years, w'hen he heard that some natives in South Africa had caught a big felloAV in a pit, and that it h ad been sold to a German dealer in Avild animals. The dealer got an offer of $25,000 for it, and the offer Avas accepted. Ten thou sand dollars was to be paid Avhen the brute was safely placed on board the vessel that was to bring him over; an other $10,000 AA^as to be paid Avhen he arrived here, and the remaining $5,000 at the expiration of three months in case the brute lived. He am v ed here in good condition and was the centre of cm*iosity for seA^eral months. B u t he was so big and clumsy and required so much room that Mr. Barnum consented to rent him to am an named Berry, aa I io wanted to take him around the country exhibiting him.

It gi-ad- Tially came downAvard until she made it out in the shape of a white dove. It came on down gradually, making its giacefnl rounds shorter and shorter nn- \til it fluttered to her face and lit upon her shoulder. She then aAvoke and found it was but a dream, hut in a few days her child Avas bom. About a week ago she had another dream, but this time the snoAvy Avhite dove took its departure from her shoulder, and, fluttering around and around, it ascended higher and higher into, the azure blue until it Avas lost to sight. .On Friday morning last her child died.” I t h*as remained for a Virginia family to outdo all previous coincidences of a Bingular nature. The father and mother were married on the 14th day of October; they have had nine children, all of whom were bora on the 14th of October; five he killed one Avith a pistol and the other ■with a club. One proved to be a black eagle, which measured 6 feet, 6 inches from tip to tip of -wing. A SHOBT man is said to be quicker on trigger than a tall man, and. a man Avith a short name is said to came out best in a duel. ■ Col. Cash, the South Carolina duellist, used to say that in every regu lar duel fought in the United S t a t ^ the man \with the feAvest syllables in his sur name alAvays killed h is antagonist. He mentioned the eases of Burr and Hamil ton, Barron and Decatur and others, and said that it had been true ever since David killed Gobah. A feAv months later Col. Cash added to the record by kilbng Shannon in a duel. A n aged peasant at Klausenberg in TransylAunia, Avhen he went to an or phanage to ask aid for an ado]pted child, stated that he Avas 103 years old and that he had Avalked tAVO days’ journey from Ms natrie village. He rarely had tasted me%t, and had lived all his life on oat bread and corn porridge. He had not tasted Avine for years, because he had never the money to go to the village tavern.

She lies in a cradle made from a grape basket about a foot long, and elegantly upholstered in silk and satin of bright colors. T he oldest person m Brooklyn died lately. The deceased was Mrs. Mary Wilson McHaney, who was one hundred and tAVO years of age. Mrs. McHaney was a devotee of the pipe, and nobody enjoyed the solace of “a good smoke” with greater zest.
