KncDrt Cbrrfapnndr.net Burton Gazette. I was sitting in that beautiful but unfashionable Washington square not many days ago, when I was attracted by an interesting family on a bench near me, consisting of a mother and three children.

They were conversing eloquently in some unfamiliar foreign tongue. There is very little English spoken in that park. The oldest of the children stood with his back to me, and seemed from his size to be about 8 years of age. The other two were, I should judge, 4 and" 5 years of age. The mother was a youngish woman, of ordinary size, and not bad-looking, nor was she badly dressed.

The oldest boy stood with is back to me, and I could not help remarking hswr CWrrent bis dress was from the two others. They wore pretty, childish clothes, while be was dressed like a man, in a frock-ooat and LVirby hat. While 1 was wondering if a child of bis years had sucb singular taste, or whether it vas a freak of the mother's, he turned around, to my astonishment, I saw that he was a man. Tom Tnumb is a giant compared with him Uts face was old-looking, that is, he might have been 30-odd, and he wore quite a suable mustache. When he wanted to sit dowu on the bench the woman lifted bim up, and his little legs stood straight out before him.

Altogether, he was an unpleasant-looking creature. At first I. thought the woman was his mother, though she did uot seem old enough for that; but, to my horror, 1 found out that she was his wife, foe the two little children called him "paoa" aud called her 'mamma," and he assumad the manner of a lather toward them, though they were quite as large as he. When they got up to go he climbed down from the bench and strutted off by the side of the woman, holding one of; the children by the hand, while she held the other. I noticed, as she turned toward me, that she wore an immense brooch at ber throat With bis portrait la it.

Could there be any love between such a couple, and how could such a father support such a family and so well, lor they were not poor bv any means, to judge by appearances. Perhaps he was the unfortunate son of wealthy parents; a friend who was with me, however, was quite sure that be bad seen the little creature on exhibition at a Bowery Maseum. THE LAST STRAW.

When the painters and whitewashes came, he braced up and smiled. ne sat down on tacks, found clothes-Dins in his Sunday hat, fell over flatirons and rolliug-pius, and yet contented himself with the thought that house-cleaning never lasts more than ten mouths of the year. The straw came when his wife asked him if he wouldn't please bring the big rocking-chair down-stairs.

He started down with it, walking was taken to allav pain. After her arrival, Friday, when under the influence of opium, the pet rat fell out of the bosom of her dress, where she was iu the habit of carrying it, ami was killed bv market men. The ladv savs she can not sleep till she has another pet rat, and bas started for New York to obtain one. Her father says the rat was perfectly tame and devoted to ita mistress, who is rational upon all other subjects except this pet and morphine or opium. She says she was robbed of valuable rings while under the influence of the drug, but added I can buy more rings but will give $300 to regain my darling rat." CURRENT GOSSIP, THE OWL-CRITIC.

eiryt N. M. Schoff, Aatt Arm.r, Miia known that the Doctor has never put this articlecinchona rubra before the world as a cure for the opium babit; but during his practice, in this city especially, he has been broujrht tnto contact with several parties who have been Its victims, and he has met with most successful results in treating it with 'cinchona. There are at present TWO CASE3 WHICH TJESEKTI SPECIAL MENTIOX, as they are of recent development, and one of the parties afflicted has achieved a sort of notoriety that has made ber name familiar to the public. A week ago last Sunday a woman who elves the 'name of May Hayes, and who bad lived a life not altogether after the Biblical precepts, perhaps, since her sojourn in Chicago, attempted suicide by jam Ding into the river from the Twelfth street bridge.

Shs was fished out and taken to the Cook County Hospital. She remained there Saturday last. Just after her unsuccessful attempt at taking her own life. Dr. D'Unger, noticing by the newspaper reports that she bad been a slave to the opium habit, announced in the press that he would willingly undertake ber cure.

This came to the notice of the ladies connected with the Women's Christian Temperance Union, and they took steps to get the irirl but of the hospital and into a good boarding-place, where she could receive the treatment proposed. They were successful, and the minister inii of vie cinchona was begun at once, and with what results will be seen from the subjoined statements: A REPORTER FO.t TUB TRIBUNE SAW MIS3 HATES testerdav. She said during the conversation that ensued: I kave used opium, morphine, chloral, and hasheesh for five years; in fact, ever since 1 came to Chicago. 1 have been 60 addicted to it that I have nearly ruined ray health and endeu my existence by" means of these drugs. I felt the passion giowinr stronger and stronger, and found tiiat it requirea constantly more and more mombine to produce the requirea effect.

I have taken ninvty grain a day, and as much as forty crains at a dose. I never drank anv liquor. When 1 was at the County Hospital they gave me thirty grains only the day before 1 left the institution, but tht-y would not permit the cinchona to be administered to me. Saturday i left the hospital iuid took my tirst dose of cinchona, and I am now rapidly recovering. For three earslbad not eaten a breakfast, partaking only of a cap of eolfee.

Yesterda- and to-day I ate breakfast, and find my appetite becoming strong. I do of like this mediciue; it is not a pleasure to take it; but I am satisfied that it is accomplishing for me what nothing ever did bef jro.

WZ and 8u4 Cottage Grove This is not, and does not pretend to be; Very ambitious verse, but it has a touch and go, and the poem itself had a mrrv audacity which rigfitlv belouga to these Pmifore uavs. The applause which followed it, as tho speaker wound up with strident allusion to past deeds and misdeeds and future prowess, showed the appreciation of tbe bearers. The second change in the programme was what is known as the Ivy oration. This oration has formerly been delivered at the planting of an ivy, but as the ivy persistently gives up the ghost befor the term comes round, the little farce of planting it was given over, and the orator made satiric points upon this change, and discovered a pretty, sensible and acute perception in reviewing the position of THS BUMPTIOUS STCDINT who, upon leaving college, tninks the great world is bis oyster, already opened, and waiting for bim to swailow, but finds eventually that this oyster is simply waiting to swallow him. The spreads, owing practically to the largeness of the class, were carried out very magnificently, the Hasty-Pudding Club giving a fine 5 o'clock tea in their tent.

The old custom of the Seniors appearing in absurd and battered costumes at the grotesque farewell performances about the flower-decked liberty-tree was also set aside, and the young gentlemen scrambled up and over each otner's best clothes in their rush for the posey trophies. At the end of all, after the dancing in Memorial Hall, there were a series of illuminations, the last of which set the students frantic with delight, for it was a reminder of the most significant of all their student ways, a representation of a huge ribbon in crimson light with the Jolly "'Rah! 'Rah! 'Rah!" displayed three times in changeable fires, with a monogram In the centre containing the final 'Kah and '79! Four days later Commencement-Day puts the climax to these celebrations. It is interesting to notice that in the officers of the day one finds at these Harvard celebrations some of the mose prominent or the mature business men on the street. This is a fact which is rscrxiAR to harvard, and is something of Uie same spirit that brings forward the same class ot men on the patriotic holidays. It is certainly not the.

case at Brown University, nor, indeed, at any other institution that I know of. The officials, for instance, at the Commencement of '79 bad in their ranks as aids to the Chief Marshal such men as Mr. U. H. Ticknor, Samuel D.

Warren. W. Crow u-ingsbield, and others ot the like maturity aud importance in the active business firms of Boston. It would be curious to trace thoroughly the causes that have led to this result of unflagging interest iu the yearly reunions of Harvard. Something may be attributed the -inherited spirit, but there are causes beneath this which unite with this spirit, and which together have made Harvard world-wide in its fame.

It is significant to note some of tbe subjects of the graduating themes, in their practical, wideawake bearing uoon the present day. There were very few purely literary but The German Empire," The Beacousfield Diplomacy," The Commercial Agitation in England," were prominent, ONE YOUNG PILLOW gave Boston a raD in a shrewd paper on "Modern Idolatry of Culture," it was not the least of tbe interest to watch the hoary-headed graduates who had such a long background of experience as they listened to the youngsters who, desoite tbeir assertions that they fully realized their position of youth, Btill thundered forth their opinions diplomacy, with suspicious confidence. The twinkle in the older eyes, the ewilt exchanges of glances now and then, whep the young orator made one of his telling "points" and informed the audience what Beacons-field meant, or explained Bismarck's policy, was entirety kindly, though it said as plain as print, We were all of us just such bumptious youug chaps once, and thought, as you do, that we had got to the bottom-line of everything." Sir Edward Thornton, it is said, was very tnuch pleased with Cambridge and her famous college, and took bis nonorary degree of LL D. with very hearty apDreciation the, compliment. And 60 the seventv-niners breakup and depart with their "'Rahl 'Rah! still lingering joyfully in our ears.

Concerning school exhibitions recently, I must give a little item which is SDecially in order I have before told of THB ROW THAT SOME PEOPLE SAW PIT TO MAKS about the morality of the children from the schools performing Pinafore at the theatre, and, indeed, the papers have fully reported the row. Well, the other day at one of the school exhibitions in one of the suburban districts one of the small "pupils gave for hts portion 6f the aforfr WpteseHtatWtf A'fcfeneral 6- ing round the circle of the wicked ons, and the "Christian matrons" have sent for Moody and Sankey to come back and preach to the School Committees and Educational Board. The suspicion that Boston bas been for some time going to the dogs on "Her Majesty's Ship Pinafore" is now a settled fact! But "As we sail, as we sail on our Deloved craft, we wicked ones, we find ourselves very comfortable, and send back a very jolly farewell to the minority crowd who stand ankle deep in the mud of prejudice, with their ears deaf to the siren strains of Little Buttercup, who is just now tuning her notes for the fogs of Newport, H.

AUTHOR OT THE WHISTLING XiAW. Indiana Corrtsvtm dec Cincinnati Oatte. At Union City tho other day I saw Sanator Cadwallader, tha now famous author of the Whistling He's a wealthy banker, and one cf the pubiicspirited citizens of the town. He owns a residence keeps bis servants and carriages, and entertains most handsomely yet, personally, Is so plain and unassuming in his' manners that he is vtry popular, and claims everybody for a friend. But the Whistling law has depressed him.

The close proximity of two or three railroads gives him do peace and every mail brings letters and packages, reminding hirn that else-whero the nuisance is quite aa insufferable. They come as jokes, but be enjoys not. His office is eradually filling up with tin whistles and dinner-horns. The people of Michigan City, inspired probably by Senator Winterbotham, have sent him a mammoth fog-burn, 6ix feet long, with a flange eighteen inches in diameter, and shaped like a cow's horn. It Dears a unique inscription, aud is suspended by an ox-cbain.

When blown it soucds like rattling thunder. It was sent iu care of the City Council, aud Is to be formally presented la the near future. Some of the letters received are very choice and expressive. In one day ha received a dozen postal-cards like the following: a the author of tha Whistling law. Am Imjurep Majt.

Highland Park, June 27.

Harper Cu aiming, then a young divine of unusual promise, made the acquaintance of Sarah Emmons in Boston, where be had been preaching for the celebrated Dr. Griffin, who pronounced bim the most elo-auent young preacher of the day. Mrs. Cu turning's rare beauty of person, and accomplishments of mind and heart, were a part of the family traditions.

Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, a writer of prominence in the last generation, bas a poem on the death ol Mrs. Cumming, commencing with the line "A being of beauty, she stood o'er the stream." 41. takes 42..

WILSOS, one of the visitors of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, aud the ladv who secured the present home for Miss" Haves, tmd has taken so lively an lnte'rest in her case, says she is confident that the is improved to an almost unprecedented decree for so short treatment. She would not hazard the opinion that the patient la cured, hut is willing to express the belief that a 6hort course of the cinchona will completely eradicate the desire for morphine, and restore the unfortunate girl to her normal condition. THE SECOXU CASB is that of Mrs. Belle Preston, formerly a resident of Peoria, 111., and who from once being a lady of fashion and high social 6tandiiur had fallen as far as opium and liquor could take her. Naturally a good woman at heart, with no depraved tastes, she has of late been furhtiug to free herself from the habits which eained such mastery over ber.

For some time sne was at the Cook County Hospital, and was there treated for the opium'habit, and was discharged on the 5th of Mav as ''recovered." tShe goon felt the old taste for opium and liquor reviving, but, happening to meet Dr. Fenn, physicaa at the Erring Woman's Refuge, he gave her a bottle ot D'L'nser's remedy, which she beaau taking. The good iadies of the Temperance Union and a few other parties have taken an interest in her ease, and have hel ped her along. But for their assistance there is no teliinn what would have Become of her, as she was absolutely penniless. She has bad every inducement to go back to the old life of shame, but she has struggled against returning to those temptations which have so nearly ruined her existence.

Opium and liquor combined to bring her to the lowest depths. She told The Tribune reporter yesterday that she was rapidly improving under the cinchona treatment. She bad no desire to use the drug or liquor, and was satisfied that, were tier surroundings imoroved and she could see her way clear to future maintenance, she would not fear any return of the habit. Her continual mental auxiety was the only bar to a complete recovery. But she would endeavor to put all thoughts of her destitute condition away from her, with the hope that all thing3 might turu out right in the end, and devote her energies to a complete coaqucruig of the last tracea of the pernicious habits.

This lady is emphatic in her determination to lead a better life. She has passed through a terrible ordeal, but she is now, she savs, completely pureed and purified, and nothing- can tempt her to the old paths. Mrs. Preston is now under the especial and charitable care of Dr. D'Unger at the Palmer Bouse.

DR. D'CSGIR SATS that the victim of opium and its rations compounds accustoms his nerve-centres to act from the peculiar stimulus this dj-ug imparts. Unfortunately the nature of the drug is non-accumulative; that is, feeds upoi uself, each aose preparing the way for and fit tog the system to receive an additional dose. In time the nerve-centres refuse to act without, and call automatically for, this artificial food which they have been taueht to expect. Cinchona, as is well known to all medical men of intelligence, imparts a stimulus to the nerve-centres, but, instead of feeding upon itself, acts as its own antidote.

In other words, it is directlv the opposite of opium or alcohol. Being an acknowledged tonic and anti-periodic, its use, after the nerve-cells have been brought back to their normal condiiion, prevents a return to the depressed state which excites a call for artificial or unnatural stimulation. This view of the nature of cinchona, and its bearing upon cases of the kind here spoken of, will no doubt commend its future use, and make it the remedy that has been so long sought, and which will be a boon to suffering humanity.

BosTOK, June 20." Class-Day and Commencement at Harvard are the events of the month, aud maybe said in a certain sense to wind ud the social season, fora great number of Boston people, including families in Cambridge and the various outlying towns, do not think of taking their summer departure to mountain or seashore until after old Harvard's Class-Day and Commencement, foremost oT them have a son, a brother, or some other relative, or friend's son or brother, who is part and -parcel of these days. The Class-Day ot this year of 79 was specially remarkable for its high figure, it entered 250, a figure seldom reached by any class in any college. Of course such a class called out a large throng of guests, android. Cambridge was a scene of gayety, where yautb and beauty made more than ever a pageant that will make the Class-Day of '7'J a living picture which one will not 6oon forget. JA.

HarvariJ graduate wrote two years ago of ClasSDay, from his California home iu these glowing words: "What meagre description can do justice to the abounding gayety, theull, throbin life, the buoyant festivities, and the deep undercurrent of earnest thought and feeling, of a Class-Day, the last, the only elaborate social, entertainment of the undergraduate before be rushes forth into the thick of the outer worlal, HOW THH OLD GBADOATI, nnless his life has been sad and gloomy Indeed, looks back with kindling pleasure and a certain mournful tenderness at the sufficient happiness of those earlier entertainments, or rather that all-important, long-expected entertainment which marked the term ot his owu academic course And the charming Amelias, the loving Marys, the radiant Octavias, and the thoroughly enslaving Rebeccas that in ever-recurrent waves of sentiment and romance, sail in upon the auiet university town on this festal the pen must be dipped in colors of sunset that can hope to paint their varied charms." Mr. Mark Sibley Severance, who wrote this glowing remembrance of -the day in his romance of "Hammersmith," that romance which, as a record ot Harvard days, all the Harvard boys swear by," would no doubt have thrilled and responded quite as readilv the other day to the "rush" and the "'Rah! 'Rah! "of these boys of '79 as be did when be wrote thus lovingly of his own experiences. The weather of this dav of 79 was perfect, one of Lowell's promised das in good earnest, full of a sweetness and elasticity which made the oldest returning graduate bear the fatigues of the day with something of his youthful ease and enthusiasm. And amongst the guests present were Ralph Waldo Emerson, Sir Edward Thornton, Lady Thornton, and their two daughters. But Harvard boys were not to be dazzled by these youthful scions of English aristocracy in the presence of the lovely Boston and Cambridge beauties.

"Nice girls enough," said one of these boys," in a critically disparaging tone, out not to be looked at beside our girls," and bis eyes went up to a group of CAMBRIDGE CUAKMKE3 whose loveliness had that touclj of the rose and the dawn which make the American girl in her early youth so exquisite a and the star that shines down all foreign competitors. Any Harvard graduate who may read this account will appreciate two new departures from two old customs on this day oi '79. The tirst, the treatment of the poetical theme. The usual Class-Day poem is not a little ambitious in its subject aud style, carrying even iu its humorous allusions a dignity which bas seemed to belong heretofore to the occasion, and which must be i'uvariablv carried out witn little change. But the poet of this year broke through all precedent and gave a very clever, though rollicking, bit of verse which opened funnily with a dialogue between the who were squabbling' in very mundanish fashion amongst themselves, while tliev meuded the stock ussis of the gods.

At the bight aud heat of this squabble the fair and sacred nine receive this dispatch, from Cambridge Wasted A muse on Senior's Dav. With wiaaom, wit, and playful banter: With what she will reply instanter. Signed with two figures. seven and nine. Uood signature." savs Erato.

It was decided bv Polyhymnia that It was not worth while to accept this invitation of the Cambridge Seniors, so "regrets" were sent, though ber younger sisters opposed this decision atren-uouslv. The upshot of it all is, however, that Polyhymnia carries the day, and the class ia left without the muse to sing for iL THB TOCSO GENTLEMAN by the name of Edward Hale, who has built upon this rollicking piece of burlesque, makes this conclusion of consolation upon the situation: -And whv should we not let them tit And work, and gossip on with peace And pleasure in the lasting leas Ot life they hoidt It was not fit That we snouid try with seeming To drag those charms of tnese, so old, So failed out. before the bold And mocking eyes of nowadays.

Mr. Hornaday, tha Rochester naturalist, gives the following description of his first Eiot at a tiger in the wilds of India After tracking the beast for half a mile. I looked through the clump of bamboos, and cure enough there was Old Stripes in all his glory, and only thirty yards away. The sun happened to be shining full upon him, and he was simply gorgeous to behold. He looked perfectly immense.

I was determined to have a shot at him, bit or miss. When I first sighted him ha was walking across tha bed of the stream, going from us. 1 raised my rifle and waited. He reached the other Dank, snuffed it a moment, and then turned and paced back. Just as he got to the middle of the stream he stopped short, raised his head and looked full at us.

It was then or never. Taking a very steady, careful aim at his left eye I fired, and without stopping to see the effect of my shot proceeded to reload with all haste. In fact, I fully expected to see the great brute come bounding round that dump of bamboos aud upon one of us, but I thought it might not be us be would attack, and while he would be clawing the scalp off one my men I could send a ball into his brain. I expected that my men would bolt as soon as tbey saw ma getting ready to fire. I should have done so had I been in their place, but they stood at my elbow like brave men, although totally unarmed.

When I had reloaded I looked again for Mr. Stripes, aud, sure enough, be was there. He was turning round and round where be stood, with bis bead bent round to the left, as though there was something the matter with his left eve. I waited until bis neck was fairly presented, then tired again, aiming to hit the neck low. He instantly dropped.

I reloaded, waited a moment to see if be was going to get up, then, with rifle at full-cock, and with the tiger carefully covered, we advanced slowly and respectfully. He was done for, and lay there kicking and foaming at the mouth, but soon became motionless, and I tried to realize that my first tiger lay dead at my feet. 1 tell vou, you will never be able to fully realize the immense proportions of a full grown tisrer until one springs upon tou in the lungle, or else lies dead at your feet. Ud to that time I had bad terrible doubts about a tiger being able to pick: up a man in bis mouth and run away with him asaloxdoes with a goose, but when I measured the great brute I understood bow it was done.
