JENKINS —_ Eee HOSTS AFFECTED. Paris Hospital Proving Small for the Victims. Complications ot Ailments in Berlin Proving Fatal. Paris, Dec. 25.—In consequence of the spread of the influenza epi- demic the hospitals are crowded and the authorities have been compelled to make extraordinary provisions for new patients. This has been done by the erection of a temporary pa- vilion on the grounds of the hospital Beaujon. In the scheol of the daughters of members of the legion of honor at St. Denis one-third of the pupils are ill and the schcol has therefore been closed. Dr. Germain See read a paper cn the influenza before the academy of medicine of this city, which was dis- cussed by othor distinguished mem- bers of the profession. He thought the academy should not encourage the opinion that epidemic was with out gravity. He said that the pa- tients were very apt to have pneu- monix or bronchitis in fatal form. Dr. Dujordin Beaumetz disagreed with Dr. See as to some points in the nature of the malady, but not as to the fact that it was notalways be- nign. He believed that the epidemic fever allied to the rheumatic affec tions. He had observed that it pre- sented two phases: First, a nervous phase, and that there was sometimes an eruption—a simple rash. The varieties in the disease were due to the predominance in a case of any one of these facts. Dr. Rochard suggested that the rash might perhaps not be a sort of disease. All concurred in the opinion that the disease is not harmless and in case of relapse the consequences are very serious. COMPLICATED BY OTHER DISEASES. Berlin, Lec. 25.—The public health authorities report a graat increase in the number of cases of influenzaand an aggravation of the disease with an increase in the death rate. The fatal effects are produced by compli- cations of pneumonia and laryingitis. In Munich the disease is increasing and the hospitals are full. The epidemic has appeared at Galatae, Bralia and Bucharest. St. Petersburg, Dec. 25.—The ezar has suffered severely from the prevailing epidemic of iufluenza. To-day he was too ill to attend the regular Christmas church services, and was also compelled to omit the customary review of the parade of The empress presided at the luncheon given in the Anitch- koff palace after the military parade. Lisbon, Dec. 25.—Influenza pre- vails to such an extent among the soldiers in the garrison here that it will probably prevent the proposed review Saturday on the occasion of the proclaiming of Dom Carlos es king of Portugal. The king is also suffering from an attack of influenza.

Albany, Mo., Dec. 26.—A well-to- do farmer of the name of Barney Fallis, living some twelve miles southeast of this city, was assaulted early this afternoon by Selus Harrod and his two sons and killed with an axe. The trouble grew out of a dis- pute with reference to the rental of afarm. The parties concerned in the tragedy are related and are among the most reputable farmers in the country. The murdered man leaves a wife and two children. The murderers were immediately placed under arrest. Consumpuon Cured.

Some Pleasant Reminiscences of the Ven- erable Emperor of Brazil. What an industrious old chap he was when here. and. for that matter, wherever he was. Joe Howard, ° writing of Dom Pedro. ‘ I had the pleasure of seeing much of him, and he was always the same court- eous searcher for information. He is a superb specimen of physical manhood | and of striking physical presence, being | six feet four inches in height and well | | proportioned. He writes and speaks j fluently English, French, German, Span- | ‘ish and Italian. Thoroughly demo-} cratic in character. his manners are simple and uneffected, and his tastes those of a rational and unselfish gentle- | | man, who cares little for the pomp and | \ luxuries of state. Details of etiquette never had any fascination for him, and a discussion with a learned man on some question of science or art was more pleasing to him than having to preside over a State ceremonial. Hence it is not surprising that he was never unwill- ing to yield up his scepter to other hands while he traveled where he could follow his own tastes with greater free- | dom. In 1871 he visited London, Paris, Flor- ence, Rome, Brussels and other European capitals, and in 1876 he came to this country. As indicative of his unassuming man- ner, it may be mentioned that ina Paris hospital he was taken for the spondent of a London daily | that gentleman sived tions and explanations intend Emperor. Dom Pedro made a sign toa | doctor who had found out his mistake not to say any thing about it.

He made nds rea and | the freedom and pe insistency and pertinacity with which he asked ques- tions, the evident intelligence and knowledge exhibited by those questions, attracted ch attention to him and made his visit more than usually notice- able. In Europe he roused Le Verrier the astronomer, from sleep soon after dawn. Le Verrier, who worked late in the night. was furious at being disturbed so soon after going to bed. The Emperor called on Hugo in the same informal manner and invited himself to pot luck with the great French writer. says i corre- | i] The personal popularity of Dom Pedro with his subjects has always been considered to be very gr After his recovery from a severe sickness a few years ago there were many demonsira- tions of public joy. During his late visit to Europe he was again stricken down and lay between life and death for some weeks. His restoration to health was again celebrated with gener- al public rejoicing. A little while ago his life was attempted, but the offender Was pronounced a lunatic. The growth of the republican senti- ment, however, in Brazil has long been an acknowledged fact, and no longer than last August the Conde d’Eu, the Emperor’s son-in-law, announced ina public speech that the imperial family were ready toretire at any time when it was felt that their presence wi peding the progress of the country.

A pedestrian coming down Woodward avenue the other day met a pedestrian going up, as will sometimes happen, and the upward-bound asked the downward- bound, or at least tried to ask him: ““W-w-which w-a-a-way do I go to find B-B-B——" “To find what?” , “B-B-B-B—” “Do you want to find a street?” “Y-y-yes, sir.” “What street is it?” “Itis B-B-B—’ “You seem to be afflicted,” said the down-bound man as the other choked off.” “Y-y-yes, sir.’’ “If I were you I'd hold a peach stone ! in my mouth.” “Eh?” “Or I'd carry pencil and paper and write down my wants.” ““Y-y-you would, eh?” “Yes, sir.

Tale of a War-Horse. | Anofficer of experience, writing on the behavior of horsesin battle, says: When it comes to battle a horse seems to know every thing that is going on; but he does | his duty nobly, and seems to be in his element. He enters into the spirit of | the battle like a human being. He | Shows no fear of death, and it is singu- | | lar that if his mate is shot down he will ; turn to look at him and seem pleased. A horse in my battery was once struck by a piece of shell, which split his skull, so that one side was loose. The driver turned him loose, but he walked up by the side of the gun and watched the | firing, and when a shot was fired would | look away in the direction of the enemy, ; as if to see the effectof the shot. When | @ shell would burst near by he would | calmly turn and look at it. When he | Saw his own team going back for ammu- nition he ran back to his own place and galloped back to the caisson with the rest. When the Lieutenant pushed him aside to put in another horse, he looked at the other one sorrowfully while he was being harnessed up, and when he seemed to realize that there was no further use for him he lay down and died. j The Lieutenant strongly asserted that | he died of a broken heart.—London ; Court Journal. | selve frase x | strictly pay our debts, keep our promises RELIGIOUS AND EDUCATIONAL. | has been printed in twen nt languages to supply ing in Pennsylvania. thol ents at Yale have formed a socie led the Yale Catholic Union.

SAMPLES OF IRISH WIT. An Hour With a Jolly and Typical Queenstown Jehu. While waiti years ago, for he ‘s to arrive at Queens- town, re the ocean grey- hound upon wh I was returning from amer in Europe, accompanied by a Is ed off on a “jaunting” trip through the eity of Cove and its sur- rounding hills. Our driver was a typi- cal Coveite—indeed it would seem as if the slang term “cove” applied to indi- viduals of his stamp was derived from the quondam name of the latter-day Queenstown, since so many specimens of this class are to be seen upon the docks of her beautiful harbor. The trap in which we journeyed was quite suggestive of the famous one-horse shay. and the melancholy steed that, in response to the chirrups of our Jehu, dragged us wearily over the rough roads seemed so Jlaxe that it excited our com- ment and led to a wager between us as to the name to which the animal an- swered, when he answered at all. “I'll bet you a sovereign his name is Mic ~ T ventured. “Ill bet a pound his name is Denni retorted my companion, unconsciously dropping into what has since become a famous slang phrase. I queried, ‘what is your horse’s That depinds, yer honor,” returned he. ‘“Dinnis or Mickey, whichiver wan of vez goes halves on her winnin’s.” The bet was declared off, but Pat got lf-sovereign for his wit. The coin made him communicative, and he proceeded to regale us with some more or less startling reminiscences, among which he included an account of an explosion he had once witnessed, the noise of which was “thot loud it made me so dafe oi cudn’t hear it.” He mat one of his countrymen broke the news of acomrade’s death to the bereaved wife by asking her if the Widow Ma- sin, by another which I sus- pect he evolved out of his inner con- sciousness, and which was briefly as fol- lows: Pat called at the house of his dead brother, having been warned by his comrades to do his work delicately, and to prepare the widow's mind for what was to come before he acquainted her with her bereavement. *Top o th’ marnin’ to yez, Missus Me- Carthy.” he began. “Same to yez, Misther McCune.” ts sorry oi am far yez.

Moike did? Oi guiss not. No soorh loock!” It would not be surprising if Mr. Me- Cune felt that all his tact had been thrown away. Our driver, according to his own state- ment, was acquainted with a young Irishman who had sought a fortune if not fame in the Western Hemisphere, and concerning whom he was quite solicitous, uming that we had, of course, met with his emigrated friend. loike t’ hear well av the bye,” he said: ‘‘though oi fear he’s gone wrong.

When asked if he had ever visited London, our unique friend observed that he never had but once, and then only got as far as Dublin. That his business instincts were well developed Pat demonstrated by offering to sell us his horse and car for two guin- eas, promising to keep the turnout for us until we came back again. “And what will you pay us for the use of the horse, Pat?” I asked. “Two shillin’ a wake less than you pay me for dhrivin’ him,” was the ready response. Of course we sounded him on the rent question, and elicited the economically interesting statement that “‘rint wud be very hoigh,” if he paidit, but as he nev- er thought of doing so, he was not so sure that rent was so iniquitous a tax as some of his ultra brethren deemed it. Concerning his cart, he informed us confidentially that it never had been new; and to quiet our expressed fear that the horse would not live to get us | back to the dock, he assured us that he had driven him “twinty years, and he’s niver doied yit.” After parting with Pat, we called back to him from the tender on which we were steaming out to the ship: “See you later, Pat.” “That depinds,” he shouted. “On what?” “The time av day, sure.”—John Ken- drick Bangs, in Harper's Magazine.
