The late Karon Lionel do Rothschild, the head 
of the English house of Rothschilds, was a man 
most generous In giving. Enormous as his Income 
was, It Is said that more than a tithe of It was 
applied In charitable works. He never proclaimed 
his charities, however, and often made It a condi¬ 
tion of aglft thatlt* should not be published. Bound 
as he was to his seat by physical suffering, which 
made hts manner varying and sometimes harsh, 
so that the temper of Baron Rothschild grew to he 
sotnethlug watched like the weather for its Influ¬ 
ences on the Stock Exchange, he found his relaxa¬ 
tion In giving, and his eyes glistened when he 
heard that his alms or Influence had been benefi¬ 
cially bestowed. 
Remember that a little Hop Bitters saves Big 
Doctor’s Bills, and cures when all else falls.

“Marlon," asked young B. J. K. Smith, hi that 
style which a big brother assumes when patroniz¬ 
ing a little sister, “do you know that the earth

Henry Van AiuhUig of Howells, N. Y., sold his

Mrs. Von Loir, being deserted by her husband In 
Cincinnati, decided to commit suicide. She laid 
herself on a bed and fired a bullet Into her head. 
The wound did not cause death, or even uncon¬ 
sciousness. After waiting awhile in vain for tho 
desired effect, she got a hand-glass, lay on the 
bed, and by means of the mirror shot carefully at 
her head again. Notwithstanding all this, she 
lived for several days. 
Alanson Stephens was a night watchman at 
Hunter's Creek, Mleh. Approaching his own 
house while on duty, he saw his wire aud John 
Howe sitting close to a window. They were plan¬ 
ning to elope, us he learned by eavesdropping. 
He shot Howe on the spot, but not fatally. Then 
he sat down and wrote a long account of the affair, 
the work occupying two hours, arter which he 
shot hLs wife, and killed himself. The wife will 
recover, but says she docs not deserve to. 
An aeronaut calling himself Count Henri de Gil¬ 
bert, was to make au ascension In Cincinnati. He 
stepped into the basket when all was ready, and 
then leaned over the edge to kiss Ills wife. Then 
he kissed auother woman, and so heartily that hls 
wife was furiously angry. Tho balloon was cut 
loose, and as it went up count Henri saw that hls 
Jealous wife and the other woman were lighting. 
The spectacle disturbed hls presence of mind, aud 
he permitted the balloon to collide with a chim¬ 
ney. A rent and collapse were followed by a quick 
descent, but the Count was only a Uttle bruised by 
the fall. Hls feelings, however, were seriously 
hurt. 
What’s the matter with the cUlldreu, anyhow ? 
In Boston, on Thursday afternoon, Owen Mona¬

Monday afternoon Joshua Squires, aged eleven 
years, ot KulUvaa, Tioga County, N. Y„ was shot 
and killed by a nine-year-old son of Gnluslm York. 
There appeals to have been no offense In this cose, 
as In that of Charlie Norris, the Rohrersvillo, Md., 
lad, who was shot aud killed by Lewis H. Miller, 
because the latter boy had l>een tmed. Little 
Frank Williams, a lad of thirteen years, has just 
been on trial at Aiken, 8. for the murder ot a 
colored boy who was known as Bulsy Bell. 
Corbett, the man who recently tried to assassinate 
several Catholic priests In New Orleaus, and who 
la now in prison, La a brother of the Duke of Edin¬ 
burgh’s assailant, on the 12 th of March, Isiw, 
while the people of the town of Wooloewooloo 
(It’s cheaper to whistle or grunt that name thuu to 
speak It), In New south Wales, Australia, were 
honoring the Duke of Edinburgh with a reception. 
Michael O’Farrol shot the Duke iu the left side. 
O’Farrel was hung within forty-eight hours, much 
to the regret of the Duke, who afterwards learned 
that the poor fellow had been more or less crazy all 
hls life. Michael had a brother aud sister, who 
came to this country after the Australian row.
