A Famous Goose. An Interesting relic is preserved In a Rlass case in the Coldstream guards' orderly-room at Whitehall. It consists of the head and neck of a goose, around which is a golden collar with the in-Boriptionj "Jacob 3d battalion Coldstream guards." Beneath it are the words: "Died on duty." In 1838 a rebellion broke out In our Canadian possessions, and two bat-talions of the guards were sent thither to assist in quelling it. the battalion already mentioned being one of them. Both corps occupied the citadel of Quebec, and in their turn supplied the guards which were ordered to be mounted in different parts of the town and neighborhood.

Near one of these guards was a farm-yard which had much from the ravages of foxes animals (hat were at that period a great pest to the colonists and as the farm in question had been suspected of being the meeting place of the rebels, a chain of sentries was placed around it. One day the sentry whose duty it was to watch the entrance to the larm had his attention attracted by an unusual noise, and on looking toward the spot whence it proceeded, he beheld a line goose fleeing toward him closely pursued by a fox. His first impulse was to nave a shot at the latter; but this Would have alarmed the guard, and brought condign punishment on himself for giving a falsi alarm. He was compelled, therefore, to remain a silent spectator of the scene, while every step brought the reynard nearer to his prey. In the height of its despair, the poor bird ran iis head and neck between the legs of the soldier in its frantic endeavor to reach the refuge which the sentry-box could afford; and at the same moment the wily fox made a desperate grab at the goose; but too lute, for ere he could get a feather between his teeth, the ready bayonet of the sentinel had passed through his body.

The poor goose, by way of showing its gratitude to its preserver, rubbed ils head against his legs, and made other equally curious demonstrations of joy; mr could it ever bo prevailed upon to quit the post, but walked up and down day after day with each successive sentry that was placed there until the battalion left Canada, when the goose was brought away with m9. a reKim(mtal pet to England. Themost remarkable thing in connection with the story is that the goose in turn actually saved its preserver's life. Whether the former knew that the sentry was the same man or not, must of course forever remain a problem; but it so happened that he was on tiiat particular post about two months afterward when a desperate attempt was made to surprise and kill the unwary sentinel. It was winter time, and although it was a bright moonlight night, the moon was hidden ever and aron by the scudding clouds which seemed to presage an approaching storm.

In of darkness a sharp observer might have noticed the shadows of several men who, unobserved by the somewhat drowsy sentinel, were endeavoring stealthily to approach the post where he stood. Suddenly he beard, or thought he heord, a stnn.e rustling sound, and bringing his musket to his shoulder, he shouted loudly: Who goes there?" Not a sound, save the echo his own voice in the distance, and the sighing of the winter wind among the branches of the trees which stood in the deserted farm-yard, responded to the challenge Several minutes elapsed, during which the soldier marched up and down his lonely beat followed by the devoted goose, until, dreaming his alarm unwarranted, ho again "stood, at ease" before the sentry-box. This was the enemy's opportunity, and they were not long in endeavoring to proiit by it. Closer "and closer they stole up toward the post, the thick snow which lay on the ground completely deadening the sound of their footsteps. But just as two of their number, one on each side of the sentry-box, were preparing with uplifted knife to spring upon tho unsuspecting man, the bird made a grand effort, rose Bunuuujjr un us wings, ana swept round utotuujr.uuA wiui iremenoous lorce napping us wings right tho faces ol me woum-uo assassins.

It is observable that every year, as soon as the he its of summer commence, there is a large increase in the number of suicides among men, but not a corresponding accession in the voluntary mortality of women. Why men should, or rather why they do, kill themselves more then than in any other season, and why the cause, whatever it may be, does not operate equally upon both sexes, were questions propounded a few days ago to Edouard Seguin, one of the most distinguished authorities on mental alienation and neurology in this country. He replied It must be due, in a great degree, to what is burned in the vast furnaco called the sun. The quantity of heat we receive is certainly a very important factor in human actions. In the fifteenth century that fuct was glimmer-ingly perceived, anJ tho scientists of that day were on the right track.

They attributed to the celestial bodies the greatest.influence ur on the lives of men and while they went astray in their deductions for lack of scientific guidance to appreciate the bearings and causes of the facts they observed, they were still so far right in their observations that they demonstrated that the great revolutions, battles, riots and other bubblings of humanity took place in the hottest season. The heat fevers and excites men, and temporarily aggravates their conceptions of the vital importance of influences affecting their interests. Women, remaining more at home and under conditions of shelter, clothing and habits of life that render them less exposed to the depressing and exciting influences of the heat than men, are less seriously affected mentally by the temperature. I say depressing and exciting," because excitation and depression go together, the latter inevitably following the former by a law of nature. Well, in the spring, under the awakening and vivifying influence of the season, men have great expectations of love, of business, of social and political successes, etc.

When the time comes that the sun no Joneer shines upon them, but darts his hery beams, then the season of depression comes they have experienced failure, or success is at least delayed, or they foresee failure and their consciousness of either unhappy condition is increased, their reactionary power is weakened by the depression consequent upon their former excitation, ana they collapse into suicide. If suicide was absolutely due to necessity the want of the necessities of life there would be more in winter than in summer, for now the one who cannot eat a steak can fill himself with radishes, and he who cannot buy coal tor a tire may warm himself in the sun. We do not hear that in Ireland, when the famine was at its height, there were many suicides; but you have a good many in Paris, and even here in New York, where food is not scarce, and among those who have no difficulty in obtaining it. We cannot, therefore, deem want, and the desperation consequent upon physical want, its chief causes. No.

Its causes are mental. A man lorms calculations, and they do not come to tue point ot realization. Then he wants to end the struggle nnd be iiuppier 10 go to rest," as they say. I think, too, that suicide is rather in proportion to other forms of inaanitv. though I do not think that all suicides are Insane.

But it is a form of collapse, like insanity. Nov, there aro two forms of collapse due to a cause extremely prevalent to-dav. That cause is the enormous influence of the element of chance in the business of to-day in other words, to gambling in all its tortus. The intense attention nnon mental combinations, inseparable irom gambling in business, is liable to produce insanity. The tension informing combinations and plans in which one knows that chance is a great factor, and consequently a source of deep anxiety, striken directly at the brain, and the shock produced by sudden announcements of the failure ot those plans and combinations produces affections of the spine.

Diseases of the mind arc the results of the first; locomotorataxy and other affections the direct consequences of the Bccond. Suicide is but one of the conclusions of the miscarriages of the figures of the laboriously-formed plan or combination upon which the gambler of business has erected his hopes of the future. This form of suicid.l impulse which we have now had its homologue in the lioman empire. It is Know that the Romans destroyed themselves simply because they did notsucceel in the realization of projects thi had formed, and oue of the greatest examples of that was the philosopher Seneca. Having failed in educating a good emperor and produced only a scamp by his process, und having become very rich and mixed in all the gambling of the day which was much like what we have now he was tirst overtaken by paralysis, of which there is the incontestable mark in the drawing of tho mouth seen in all his busts and then, pursued by a nervous fear that the emperor would take away his life, he did away with himself.

And now a givat many men to-day are in that plight, their brains and spines racked by the alternate excitations and depressions of gambling, their nervous systems subjected to the strain of fear ot the future, and they give way, as is very natural. That women are comparatively very little subject to such influences is the great cause why the suicides among them are, at all times, but especially in the hot weather, fewer in proportion to the whole number thanjthose of men. Dr. Jared Linslv. one of New York's oldest and most highly respected general practitioners, who was formerly for many years connected with Bellevue hospital, says that he does not remember ever to have known a case of an attempted suicide in which if dpntn wai sufficiently delayed after the perpetration of the fatal act to permit an expression of a wish bvthe victim, tlicrn was not manifested an intense desire for life, a nassionate ree-ret tor i deed that had been done.

And if there is any one tuing which the venerable doctor hates and contemns abnvn nil other things, it is a pistol, which he says is so handily used by men in moments ol depression with fatal effect beyond hone of recall. It is his hiiHf tnat suicide is seldom a premeditated act, but in almost all cases the instantaneous result of a momentary immilnn. New iork Bun.

The Famine in the Caucasus.

It appears from the Russian newspapers that the famine in the Caucasus and in some other provinces of Russia is of an unprecedented severity. The Moscovskia Vedomosti reports the following case: in the village of Khoji-kent, of the Elisavetpol province, an Armenian, Mirza.with his wife and four children, had been starving for sonu time. His neighbors, equally destitute, could not help him. One day, after a fruitless search for food, he returned home, where lie found his wife in tears and iiis children crying aloud for bread. In sheer despair he flung himself into the flames of a large oven, after kill-in his wife and children.

Thus in a moment perished a family of six persons. The incident is reported officially. A correspondent of tho liussky Courier writes to that journal from Baku as follows On my way to Shemakha I met many inhabitants who were plucking up grass and eating it. A sack of grass is sold here at three rubles! As to the cattle, they perish by hundreds. J.

he Obzor says: J. he governor ot the province of Erivan has received the following dispatch from the chief of the Ordubatsky district: "The population of the district are starving; they have begun to feed upon the grass." The governor has sent orders to a rich pro prietor to feed the people until the government supply arrives. The Orenburgsky Listok says: It is harrowing to look at the starving population and ruined cattle raisers of our province (Orenburg), but the sight of dying cattle is heartrending, too." The Iiusskia Vedomsti says: In the village of Nicholaevskoy two peasants were starved. The Caucasus says The inhabitants of many villages of Elisavetpol province have no provisions whatsoever; the women and children are wandering 1 in the fields and digging roots. The Smolensky Vestnik says: The peasants of the Briansky district have had no flour for some time past; they are feeding upon bran mixed with ground bark.

The Saratovsky Listok says: The inhabitants of the Nouvouzensky district are happy over the discovery of a new food. They collect seeds of different sorts of grass, grind them and make bread. Though very bitter it allays hunger. New Orleans papers state that from the present outlook a magnificent crop of sugar will be harvested this season in Louisiana. Some Very Old People.

News. About three miles cast ol that place there is a chain ol hills, commonly known as the Preak-nfss mountains." They are a spur ot the Blue Ridge. These hills contain large quantities of iron, and consequently are magnetic. They are, as it were, a gigantic lightning-rod. If a shower comes from the west with an impetus sufficient to drive it over the magnetic influence of those mountains, it reaches Paterson, after rallying like demoralized armies, and bursts on Paterson with redoubled fury.

But it it is a genlK' shower, impelled by moderate wind, tnese mountains attract it and it follows them around to the northward as it the range of hills were a track and the shower a train of cars. The switching oil' the track of a shower in a curious phenomenon. The lightning can be seen playing with the tops of the mountain like gigantic pyrotechnical grasshoppers.

Charcoal, laid fiat while cold on a burn, causes the pain to abate immediately; by leaving it on for nn hour the burn seems almost healed when the burn is superficial. And charcoal is valuable tor many other purposes.

Tainted meat, surrounded with it is sweetened; strewn over heaps of decomposed pelts, or over dead animals, it prevents any unpleasant odor. Foul water is purified by it. It is a great disinfectant, and sweetens offensive air if placed in shallow trays around apartments. It is so very porous in its minute interior, it absorbs and condenses gases most rapidly. One cubic inch lo fresh charcoal will absorb nearly one hundred inches of gaseous ammonia.

Charcoal formB an unrivaled poultice for malignant wounds and sores, often corroding away dead flesh, reducing it to one-quarter in six hours. In cases of what we call proud flesh it is invaluable. It gives no disagreeable odor, corrodes no metal, hurts no texture, injures no color, is a simple and safe weetner and disinfectant. A teaspoon-ful of charcoal, in half a glass ot water, ofien relieves a sick headache; it absorbs the gases and relieves the distended stomach pressing against the nerves, which extend from the stomach to the head. It often relieves constipation, pain or heartburn.
