Madge’s Mistake.
“IVc start for Egypt. on Thursday.
old follow. I have not yet broken the
news to Madge, poor girl! But it will
have to be done without loss of time,
although I shrink from the ordeal."
The Speaker was a tall, handsome man
of perhaps five-aml-twcnty, with bright;
eyes and a dark, resolute face. He
looked every inch a soldier as he stood
beside his friend on the platform of
the crowded London terminus, where
they had met, each other after a separa-
tion of eighteen months.
“ Madge!" said the young officer’s
friend; “surely you are not engaged?
You, who were always so proud to pro-
claim yourself a. woman hater!"
“ Not engaged," returned George Eu—l
field, with a slight flash on | is bronzcd
check. “Not engaged, Le Roy; but
married. therc have you been all these
months not to have heard the news ?”
“I had forgotten how time passes,"
said Le Roy, hastily. “Of course, the
world has not been standing still since
I left. England with the firm determina-
tion not to open a. book or newspaper,
until I had regained the health and
strength I had exhaust-3d in long hours
of study. ” '
“And you have gained your object,"
said George, with friendly solicit-ado.
“ You are quite yourself again 2’" ,
Le Roy made no immediate answer;
but he turned his eyes away, that
George might not see the look of anguish
which had darkened them for a momcn t.
“I am better," he said at last, with
no trace of emotion on his fine face.
“I2am better, or I shouldhot have
takcn’up the old life.”
“You have really come home for
good,” said George, eagerly. “You
really mean to remain in England?”
“ch,” said Le Roy, abscntly. “ A
man cannot fly from himself. I have
come to the conclusion that the man
who seeks health in travel, had far
better remain at home.”
George felt that his friend was hiding
something from him ; but he would not
utter a. word to break the barrier of
reserve which his friend had allowed to
come tip/between them.
“ He shall tell me of his own free will,
or not at all,” thought George Enficld.
“ I will not try to wring his secret from
him.”
So there was Silence between them
for a time, as they strode up and down,
each occupied with his own thoughts. ‘
George was the first to speak, and his
ringing voico startled Le Roy, arousing
him from a painful rcvcry. He looked
up eagerly, meeting the eager gaze of
his friend.
“What is it, George ?" he asked,
apologetically. “Forgive me; but. 1
scarcely heard what you were saying. "
“I was only telling you that my
people do not approve of my marriage.
They have been cruel and unjust, and 1
could not think of letting Madge go to
them.”
“I am sorry to hear this,” said Le
Roy. “ It must be hard for her and for
you; she will not be quite alone, I hope.
Of course, your wife has her own
friends.”
“She has one Sister, ”returned George;
“but the two poor children willbc very
lonely when I am gone, Le Roy, and I
want you to extend your friendship to
them.” It. was a strange request to
make; but George could see nothing
strange in it. He loved his friend, and.
had every faith in him; he knew that
Wilfred Le Boy was the soul of honor.
“How fortunate that I should have
met you here,” he continued, without
giving Le Roy time'to speak. “You
must come to our little villa, and let me.
introduce you to my wife. You have an
eye for beauty and will appreciate my
good taste. Don't accuse me of egotism,
old fellow, until you have seen my
Madge.”
' They jumped into a cab, and as they
drove quickly in the. direction of George’s
home; the two friends fell to talking of
old times, and Le Boy was laughing
quite merrily when the cab drew up
before a pretty little cottage not very
far from Hampstead Heath.
A bright little maid with dark eyes
and rosy cheeks opened the door in
answer to George’s ring, and Le Roy
followed her into a quietlyj furnished
parlor, where a young lady was bending
over some needlework.
“Madge 1” said George, putting his
hand on hot shoulder, “let me intro-
duce you to the best friend I have in
the world—Wilfred Le Roy ; Wilfred,
this is my wife.”
They looked at each other, and a
sudden ghastly pallor came over Le
Roy’s face, while the young girl seemed
as if about to faint. Then with a Wam-
ing glance, as quick as a flash of light-
hing, Le Roy held out; his hand to his
friend’s wife, and expressed his pleasure
at making her acquaintance.
“ Where is sister. Bertie ?” asked the
unconscious George. “In the garden,
as usual, I suppose. I’ll go and look
for her."
And he hurried out of the room, leav-
ing his wife and Wilfred alone together.
Madge leaned l ack in her chair, white
as tho laccwork that had fallen from her
slender fingers. I
“You won’t tell him i” she said, pitc-
ously, lifting her beautiful. eyes to \Vil‘
frcd‘s face.
Wilfred was silent just for a moment;
he could scarcely trust himself to speak.
But be controlled his anger by a mighty
effort, and said calmly——
“ Let the past rest—it is gone forever.
I wish to remember only that I am your
husband’s friend.” '
It cost him a great deal to speak these
words, for Madge had treated him very
badly in days'gonc by. They had been
engaged, and she had jilted him, 9;)
I
'filldiiig that his p 'ospe'ciis— were less
bright, than people had led her to imag-
ine. It had been a. secret engagement,
and he had never told the wrongshc
had done.
The worst. of it was that he loved her
still, although he felt that She was
unworthy of his love. Weak and fickle
as she had been, he could not help the
memory of the sweet past coming back
to him, when he looked at her beautiful
face.
“ Then you will keep my secret ?’-’ she
said anxiously ; “ George has such
strict ideas. He would be angry if he
know Iliad been engaged to you. “I
don’t think hc'would ever forgive me,"
“ You can trust my word, I hope,"
returned Wilfred, coldly—all the more
coldly because of the love he could not
not subdue. ,
And then he held up his hand “arr-.-
ingly, for he could hear voices in the
hall, and in another moment Georg».
entered the room in. company with a
young lady whom Le Rov had never
seen before, for she had been at school
in Germany when He had first known
Madge. ,
George introduced her informally to
Le Roy as his sister-indaw, and then
left her to entertain his friend, while he
took his wife out of the room to break
the sad news of his speedy departure for
Egypt.
She cried a. little, for although she
'did not- love her husband very much, he
had been kind to her when her father’s
failure and death reduced her and her
sister to poverty, and had given them
. both a home by making her his wife.
But for that, she reflected with a
shudder, they would have had to go out
into the world and work for a living.
Bertie would not have minded it; so
much, but: Madge had recoilcd from the
prospect of working for her daily bread
with horror.
They went back to the drawing-room
after a time. and Madge sat down at the
piano at her husband’s request, and
played for them; but she could not sing
—not while 'Wilfred was in the room.
She had liked him better than she liked
George, although her husband was
better looking than his friend, and the
old fascination was creeping over her.
If she had been a wise woman she
would have objected to be left 1mder
Wilfred’s guardianship; but unforttm-
atcly she was a very foolish one, and it
seemed to her a very pleasant arrange-
meat.
“It will be so nice for us to have a.
friend to look after us while George is
away,” she said. “ Will it not, Bertie ?”
“ Very,” returned Bertie, rather dryly.
Girl as she was, she thought Le Roy
altogether; too .young and handsome for
the responsibility he had undertaken. "‘
Bertie was very sweet and girlish,
with soft blue eyes, and a closely
cropped head that gave her quite a.
childlike appearance. Not; so brilliantly
handsome as her sister, perhaps, but
nevertheless a very pretty girl.
When George was on his way to
Egypt. Le Roy called daily at the cot-
tage, often staying to partake of after-
noon tea. with the two Sisters, who always
gave him a warm welcome.
“ He is very handsome,” said Bertie,
as she watched him riding down the
street; on his brown mare, after spend-
ing Ithe afternoon with them.
Something in the tone of her voice
and the way she looked after Wilfred
annoyed Madge, who had never noticed
how pretty her sister was getting till
that moment. ,
“Yes,” she said, “he is handsome,
poor follow !"‘ And as she uttered these
last. words Madge heaved a. Sigh.
“Why ‘ poor fellow?” asked Bertie,
quickly, turning to look at her sister.
“Because he will never marry. ”
“ How do you know that Y” asked
Bertie, caloric". “ Has he told you so ?"
“No; but I happen to know. - He
loved some one long ago, and he will
never forget her. "
“What can you know of Wilfred Le
Roy ?” incredulously. “ We'hove only
known him a few weeks. "
“I knew him before father died,” said
Madge, playing with her rings to avoid
meeting her sister’s steady gaze.
“And you let George think you had
never met before," said Bertie, slowly.
“You never loved him. If you had
loved him you would have been true in
spite of his poverty.”
Months passed on, and, on taking the
Times one morning, Wilfred came upon
his friend's name in the list of the
slain. It was a terrible blow for him,
as he had loved George with quite a
brotherly affection. '
Madge went into liystcrics when she
heard the news, but soon calmed down,
showing admirable resignation to he
loss. Bertie, indocd, seemed to feel it
the most. ~ -
Le Roy came as usual to the cottage,
and one day when he and Madge were
alone rather abruptly alluded to the
past.
“He can’t be going to propose al-
ready,” thought the pretty widow; and
deciding in her own mind to put him
off for at; least a. two! vemonth.
“ Madge," said Wilfred, ”when I
came here and found you the wife of
my friend, I thought ’I should go mad. ”
Madge muttered something about it
' being too soon to talk of such things,
but he did not appear to notice her.
“Yes," he went on, “I loved you
still. Forgive me. It was very wrong;
and I couldn‘t help it. And now-—" ‘
I Be paused for a moment, and Madge
colored hotly, forgetting her recent be-
reavement, and knowing only that the
man she loved was metaphorically at
her feet. ' ,
“And now ?" she said, softly, lifting
her eyes to his face.
“And now,” he returned in an agita-
ted voice, “ now I love—your sister.” 8
Mrs. Enficld's complexion never looked
more lovely—her checks were like roses;
but her eyes! well, they had rather an
angry sparkle, and her lips were slightly
compressed. .
“I am glad, very glad indeed,” she
said, with emphasis; “ If I were Bertie,
I should not care for a man‘s second
love; but, of course, everybody to his
taste.”
And with this parting taunt she walked
out of the room just as Bertie entered
it. The girl could not understand the
meaning of the angry look her sister
gave her. .
She did understand it, though, a mo-
ment later. when Wilfred caught her in
his arms and told her of his love.
After all, it was fortunate for all
parties concerned that affairs had taken
this turn, for a short time later on it
was found that; George Enfield’s name
should have been among the “ missing,"
and not; the killed;
Madge, to do her justice, was genu~
inely glad when she heard that her
husband had turned up, Safe and sound,
had never thought of being his friend’s
wife.
So n11 ends happily, and, for George
at least—where ignorance is bliss it is
folly to be wise.

CU “AN RA ILIVAYS.
About the only instance of competi:
tion which I have encountered in 'Cuba
is that between the two lines of ,milway
extending from Havana to Matanzas.
In general railway fare is phenomenally
high. The tariff from Havana to Clon-
fucgos on the southern coast, is $16 in
gold, and the railway company hold a
meeting not long ago to ascertain, if
possible, why the receipts don‘t exceed
the expenses. But a first-class fare, by
the longest of the two routes to this city
is only $1.10, and by the shortest $1.50.
Second and third-class fares are propor-
tionally cheaper. The long route has a
-train which pushes right; through in two
hours and forty minutes without stop-
ping, save two 01' three times at railway
junctions.
Tourists ordinarily make the trip out
by one route and back by the other.
A‘railway train in Cuba. is‘ not such a
curiosity as one in India, Burmah, 01'
even Europe. The rolling-stock was
manufactured in New England and
shipped here a few centuries ago. It
consequently has a. venerable but withal
familiar look to any-one whose experi-
ence runs back to the primitive sort of
coaches and engines that characterized
the early history of railroading in our
country. . -
It iS.i1i tho third-class coaches that.
you get the best glimpses into real Cu-
ban life.
You see the ncgroes and the China.-
men, and the poor Cubans and the
Spanish soldiers all mingling on a com-
mon level. You sec every peasant,
black or white, stow some live chickens
away under the seat, and you wonder, as
I have done a score of’times, why every-
body pcrsists in this curious habit. I
have seen two-thirds of the wealthy Cu-
ban passengers on a steamboat take
chickens into their first-class cabins.-
When the train stops at a station of
sometimportan'cc, in rush men and boys
with various kinds of native fruits for
sale, country cheese, lightning bugs,
and above all, lottery tickets. The
lightniu g bugs are principally purchased
by tourists as curiosities, for the Cuban
lightning bug, if he could be trained to
systematic illuminating habits and
brought into the United States, would
soon bankrupt the various electric light
companies.
When it'is time for the train to start a
wrinkled, emaciated Chiuaman rings a.
hand-bell letliargically, and the engine
pulls out.
The first-class car is put at the roar of
the train, and is nearly empty except in
the tourist season. On one railroad
there is a machine in the forward end of
each coach displaying a placard that
reads, “Proxima Estacion,——." It
would not b?) amiss if some of our rail-
roads thus announced to the eye as well
as to the car the name of the 'next sta-
tion, but I imagine some way would be
found in our country of having the
moving wheels of the car operate the
machine instead of sapping the life-
blood of the tired conductor.

THE TOBACCO 0F PARAGUAY.
No subject is more popular, none more
readily entered 'on. than tobacco. Much
is actually grown in Paraguay, and the
quality of the leaf is excellent, by no
means, in my judgment, inferior to that _
of Cagavan, or, to give it its commercial
title, of Manila itself. - But the art of
drying and preparing the leaf, no less
than that of making it up, when pre-
pared, into proper form, has yet to be
learned in Paraguay; both processes
are at present conducted in a very un-
satisfactory and haphazard manner ;
and the result is defective in proportion.
Unseasoned. unprepared, unselected, ..
badly dric !, worse rolled, Paraguyan
cigars only'avail to tantalize the smok‘ér
with the suggested contrast of what
they might be and what they are. I
myself, for many decades of years 3. ha-
bitual smoker, could easily recognize at
once the innate superiority of the wisp-
likc tobacco roll that no care availed to
keep steadily alight for five minutes,
over the elegant looking Brazilian—
labeled “ Havana"——cigar in my pocket
_ case ; while painfully made aware at the
same time of the artificial advantages
that rendered the latter preferable for
use to the former. The Government
that shall introduce a few skilled opera-
tives of the Arroceros factory and the
Gaga-yon tobacco plantations to teach,
by example and pract’cc, the arts of to-
bacco growing and cigar making to Par-
aguay, will deserve a public memorial
and a marble statue of the ‘handsomest
in Asuncion, as a. true benefactor prima-
rily of his country. and indirectly of
South America and the world at large.
For what blessing can excel a. good
cigar? At present of all the “ mystery, ”
to use an old phrase, of tobacco growing,
no less than that of cigar making, the
Paraguayans, whose education in this
really important regard has been sadly
neglected, are practically ignorant ; and
many were the questions asked me about
the cultivation of the plant, the proper
manuring of the soil, the harvesting and
drying of the leaf, etc. For attached,
and most justly so, as they are to their
own country and its usages, they are by
no means incurious as to what. is done
elsewhere, nor averse to adopt or copy
what may be suited to their require-
ments. Nor are the Japanese them-
selves npter scholars to useful teaching ;
though, happily for the Paraguayans,
the greater steadiness of their national
character would hardly admit of the
childish imitativencss and unwise parody
that has so much damaged and perverted
Japanese improvement of; late years.

THEY FOUND TEE BORE.
A pretty young momma, with a little
girl by her side _ nearly as pretty as her-
self, was being entertained by a male
stranger, who had struck up an acquain-
tance through the usual and always con-
venient. mediumship of the little girl.
The stronger did all the talking. He
was one of those men who think they
know everything, but only rarely get a
chance to tell it. The lady answered
only in monosyllables, The little girl
listened patiently and dcmurely for a
time, and then commenced to-fidget
around in her seat. Finally, as the
stranger stopped for a breath, she said:
“Momma, you've found one, ain’t
you ?"
“What, my dear ?”
“ Why, don’t you remember what you
told papa when he said you’d be lone-
some on the cars ? You said you’d find
some bore to talk you to sleep.”
Momma loosed out of the window,
and the stranger suddenly thought he
had better go into the smoking car to
find his friends. "
A female teacher was on very intimate
terms with the male teacher in the same
school. He was in the habit of strolling
into her room during the recess, and
chatting with the object of his affections.
His name was Smith. One day the lady
teacher endeavored“ to make the class
comprehend the omnipresence of God.
She explained to them that God was
‘ everywhere. “ Now, my dear children,
suppose you all go out of this room, ex-
cept myself; and I stay here. AmI
alone 'r" asked the female teacher.
“ No,” cxclnined one of ,tho . little girls;

'1‘]! E DE.) 1) SEA.
The Dead Sea is an old and decripit.
salt: lake in a very advanced stage of
evaporation. It has several feet below
the level of the'llltnlilerrmroan, just as
the Caspian lies sever-1‘ foot below the
level of the Black Sea; and as in both
cases the "surface must once have been
continuous, it is clear that the water of
oithcrsheot must; have dried up to a
.cmisiderablo extent. .l'lut while the
Caspian has shrunk only to eighty-live
foot below the .31ack Sea, the Dead Sea
has shrunk to the enormous depth of
1,292 feet below the Mediterrmrcan.
Every now and then some cntcrprishxg
Dc Lesscps or other proposes to dig a.
canal from the Mediterranean to the
Dead Sea, and so rc-cstablish tho old
high level. The effect of this very rev-
olutionary proceeding would be to flood
the entire Jordan valley, connect the So.
of Galileo with the Dead Sea, and play
the dickens generally with Scripture
geography, to the infinite delight of
Sunday school classes. Now, when the
Dead Sea first began its independent
career as a separate sheet of water on its
own account, it no doubt. occupied the
whole bed of this imaginary engineer’s
lake-spreading, if not. from Dan to
Beershcba, at any rate from Dan to
Edon, or, in other mrds, along the'
whole Jordan valley, from the Sea of
Galileo and even the Waters of Mcrom,
to the southern desert. (I will not his
8111!; the reader’s intelligence and ortho-
doxy by suggesting that: he may not be
precisely certain as to the exact position
of the Waters of Mcrom; but I will
merely recommend him just; to refresh
his memory by turning to his atlas, as
this is an opportrmity which may not
again occur.) The modern Dead Sea. is
the last shrunken relic of such a. consid-
erable ancient lake. Its waters are now
so very concentrated and so very nasty
that no fish or other self-respecting ani-
mal can consent to live in them, and so
buoyant that a man can’t; drown him-
self, even if he tries, because the sea is
so saturated with salts of various sorts
till it has become a kind of soup or por-
ridge, in which a. swimmer floats, will
he, nill he. Persons in the neighbor-
hood who wish to commit suicide are
therefore obliged to go elsewhere; much
as in Tasmania, the healthiest climate in
the world, people who want to die are
obliged to run across for a week to Syd-
ney or Melbourne.

SKUNKS IN '1‘]le FAR WEST.
The skunks are a nuisance in more
They are stupid,
familiar beasts, with a great predilection
for visiting camps to pick up any scraps
of meat that may be lying about. I
have time and again, known a skunk to
spend several hours of the night in
pcrsevoringly digging a hole underneath
the logs of a. hut, so as to get inside
among the inmates. The animal than
hunts about among them, and of course ,
no one will willingly molest it ;and it
has often been known to deliberately'
settle down upon and begin to eat one
of the sleepers. The strange and
terrible thing about these attacks is
that in certain districts and at certain
times the bite of the skunk is surely
fatal, producing hydrophobia, an d many
cowmeu, hunters and soldiers have
died from this cause. There is no wild
beast on the plains, no matter what its
size and ferocity, so dreaded by plains-
men as this seemingly harmless little
beast. Once a. number of us, among
whom was a huge, happygo-lucky
Scotchman who went by the name of
Sandy, were sleeping inn hut. when a
skunk burrowed tntdcr the logs and got
in. Hearing it move. about among the
pans, Sandy struck alight, was much
taken by the familiarity of the pretty
black-and-white little animal, and, as it.
seemed in his eyes a curiosity, took a.-
shot at it with his revolver. He missed,
and for a wonder, the skunk retired
promptly without taking any notice of
the attack, and the rest of the alarmed
sleepers, when informed of the cause
of the shot, cursed the' Scot up hill and
down dale for having so nearly brought
dire confusion on them all. The latter
took the abuSe very philosophically,
merely remarking, “I’m glad a didn’t
kill him myscl; he seemed such a
decent wee. beastie.” The, sequel
proved that neither Sandy nor the
skunk had learned anything by the
encounter, for half an hour after the
.“decent wee beastic” came back, and
this time Sandy fired. at him with fatal
effect. Of‘ course the result. was a
frantic rush of all hands from the hut,
Sandy exclaiming with late but sincere
repentance, “A. did no ken t’wad cause
such a tragadic."

OLD-I-‘ASIIIONED DISCIPLINE.
One of the sons of old Ispwich, him-
self gray-haired, was thus relating the
the characteristics of the parental disci-
pline which he obtained in his youth.
“One evening, ” said he, “ I had come
under my father’s wrath, and he sternly
ordered me to go to bed. Bod was in
the loft of a log house, and I complained
I had no light.”
“ Go to bed in the Clark," was my
father’s answer, and I climbed the ladder
and made my way along the timbers, no
flooring being laid. A bright idea
struck me, and I thought I .could make
one more appeal against fate. I cried
down :
“It’s so dark I can’t find the bed.”
Quick as a flash came the answer.
“ Get as near to it. as you can and lie
down." ‘
It is unnecessary to say that the bed
was found and not lost again till morn-

PARIS MA R'KETS.
The Paris markets are probably tht
finest in the world. The IIallcs Ccn~
tralos were built on the model of t];
Crystal Palace, and though the other
markets in the various quarters of Paris
are not so large and so line, they areal!
managed on the same principles, and
are examples of what can be done when
a. people have an inkling that- they are
a. real society and that the common good
is'thc truest way of arriving at the indi
vidual good. This, however, cannot be
said of the scwaragc system as it; was
carried out in our neighborhood Itis
stated that there 'is beneath the city a
great network of scwars tunneled over
and kept in such a manner that. through
a portionlof it visitors are conveyed in
tramcars until they come to the great
reservoir under the B110 Royale ; but of
this apparently perfect system we reaped
no advantage. Instead, we were sub-
jected for two or three‘ nights every few
months to the primativo and barbarous
custom of pumping up the sewage into
great. cylinders, which were dragged
away by a team of horses. In lying
awake at night- always found that the
only time out of the' twenty—bur hours
in which there was absolute silence in
"Paris was about two o’clock in the
morning. Shortly after thisahour the
market wagons began to pass on their
road to tth—Ialles Cent-rates, where they
arrive about'threc A. M. They are there
unloaded by a. regiment. of nearly 500
porters, called “los forts do in Hallo,”
and who are only admit-ted after their
physical capacity and moral character
has been found satisfactory.
est care is taken to prevent bad goods
from being sold. The i11spccizorsweigh
and test every pound of butter. The
annual consumption of eggs in Paris is
said to reachwthc fabulous number of
250,000,000. Those brought into the
market are each inspected, and Similar
care is exercised Over the meat; what-
ever is condemned is covered with
quicklilnc and buried. Tho butchers‘
shops in Paris are models of cleanliness
and. good order, and instead of making
difficulties about small joints you are
readily served with any amount you re-
quire. There are many reasons for this
great superiority if compared with the
same -sort of shops in London—the
markets, the supervision of the author-
ities, the great cconOmy of French
housekeeping, and the practice among
Parisian housekeepers of doing their
own marketing. ' .

GEN. GRANT THE ENEllIY.
Only once since the defeat of the Old
Guard at Chicago did Gen. Grant meet.
the enemy face to face and get utterly
routed. That time the enemy was a'
New York policeman. It was on the
morning two years ago next winter when
the Masonic Temple was on fire. There
were great. crowds on Sixth avenue and
’in Twenty-third street, and Capt. Wil-
liams' men had formed fire—lines across
the street on either side of the Temple
to give the firemen a chance to work un-
- hindered. The crowd gave them plenty
to do, and when a. Short, chunky man
with a cigar sci; firmly between his teeth
and the huge collar of his top-coat
reaching above his ears tried, looking
neither to the fight nor to the lcft, to
hustle past one of the policemeff that-
guarded the Sixth avenue approach, he
was seized and unceremoniously bounced
off the sidewalk. The officer didn’t prod
him with his club as he probably had a
good mind to do,'but' as he got a. fair
grip on the 'collar of that. coat aiid
yanked its owner into the street, he gave
him some .wholcsomo advice, unasked,
on the subject of blockade running.
The man in the overcoat. answercd never
a. word, but jogged across the street,
both hands thrust into his Side-pockets
and the cigar sot withjust a Shade of
defiance in his firm mouth, and tried to
pass by Booth’s Theatre. But here
another policeman who had seen him
bounced across the street got; his eye
upon him, and was reaching for the tall
collar, when he was dumbfounded by
seeing his roundsman straighten up and
salute in military style: “ This way,
General! Make room there for Gcn.
Grant I” The crowd and the bluecoats
made room at once, and the General,
with a nod of recognition, jogged on his
way toward Fifth avenue in the snow
and slush, looking neither to the right
1101' left, but followed by a hundred
eyes, among them the policemu-n’s who
silently thanked his stars for his narrow
escape from giving the (ix-President a
taste of his club as a blockade runner.

Swedish anglers say that if a woman
strides acrosn tho rod no trout. will be
caught that day. The fishermen at
Preston Pans, if on their way they meet
a pig, at once turn back and defer their
cmbarkation; the evil bodes ill for their
fishery. In the Orkncys fishermen on
going to son. would consider themselves
exposed to imminent danger if by acci-
dent they turned their boat. in opposi-
‘tion to the sun’s course. It is also
thought a bad omen to turn the prow of
a boat toward the shore. They believe
that for anyone to say “ Good luck” to
them when starting is. ominous; also
that pins found in a church and made
into hooks get- thc best fish. Tackle,
they say, stolen from a friend or a
neighbor, will secure better fortune
than that bought with money—m. species
of larceny more profitable to the fisher-
man than comfortablc to his friends.
The Cornish fishermen have a super-
stition that if a. white hare frequents
the quays at. night. a. storm will arise.

Tun 12.001; OF DEATH;
The records of Libby Prison are now
preserved in the Government archives
at Washington. They are in a big flat
book two inches thick, about three feet
long, and two feet wide. Its paper is
black as when it first flowed from the
pen. In the book more than 17,000
patients are entered, and the record
shows thatlabout 15,000 of them left
the hospital for the grave. \Vholc pages
show that the prisoners died on the
same day of their entry to the hospital,
and the diseases which are recorded
opposite their names are those of
dysentery, etc., diseases which arose
beyonddoubt, from the poor condition
in which they were kept.

SLAv r; u bdrm-(f. " it?" AFRICA.
We discovered that this horde of ban-
ditti was under the harden-drip of several
chiefs, but principally under Karcma
and Kiburuga. They had started six-
teen months previously from Wane-
Kiruuda, about thirty miles below Vinya
Njara. For eleven months the band
had been raiding successfully between
the Congo and the Lubiranzi, on the
left bank. They had then undertaken
to perform the same cruel work between
the Biycrc and ‘lVanc-Kirundu. On
looking at my map I find that such
a. territory within the area described
would cover 16,200 square miles on the
left and 10,500 on the right bank, equal
to 34,570 square miles—just 2,000 square
miles greater than Ireland—inhabited
by about 1,000,000 people. I was per-
mitted in the afternoon to see the
human harvest they had gathered——
rows .upon rows of dark nakedness,
, relieved here and there by the white
dresses of the captors. There are lines
or groups of naked forms upright, stand-
ing, or moving about listlessly. There
are countless naked children, many mere
infants, and occasionally a (how of ab
solutcly naked old women bending under
a basket of fuel or bananas, who are
driven through the moving groups by
two 01' three muskctecrs. I observed
that most all are fcttcrcd; youths with
iron rings round their necks, through
which a chain, like one of our boat
anchor chains, is“ rove. securing the
capt'vcs by twenties. The children over
ten are secured by three copper rings,
‘thc mothers by shorter chains, around
whom their respective progeny of in-
fants are grouped, hiding the cruel iron
links that fall in loops or festoons over
their mothers’ breast-s. After realizing
the extent and depth of the misery pre-
sented to me I walked about as in a
kind of dream, wherein I saw through
the darkness of the night the stealthy
forms of the murderers creeping toward
the doomed town, its inmhtcs all asleep,
when suddenly flash the light of brand-
_ishcd torches, the sleeping town is in-
volved in flames, while volleys of mus-
kctry lay low the frightened and aston-
ished people. The slave traders admit
they have only 2,300 captives in this
fold; -.—.yet they have raided through the
length and breadth of a country larger
than Ireland, bearing fire and spreading
carnage with lead and iron; 118 villages
and forty-three districts have been
wasted, out of which is only educed this
scant profit of 2,300 females and children
and about 2,000 tasks of ivory! To
obtain these 2,300 slaves they must: have
shot a round number of 2,500 people,
while 4,300 more died by the wayside
through scant provisions and the inten-
sity of their hopeless wretchcdness.

A SENATOR/S STAGE RIDE.
Senator Sherman enjoyed a. break-
neck ride down Siskiydus Mountain on
2 his stage journey between Bedding and
Roseberg, Ore. The Ohio statesman
had pro-erupted a seat with the driver to
get a. better view of the splendid scenery
on that. elevated divide. The pace from
the summit was a tearing one, and the ’
steep, narrow grade made the ride ap-
pear particularly hazardous. The Sen-
ator suggested that he could view things
better at a slower gait.
“ Got. to make time, ” replied the J chm,
brusquely.
“ I assure you that I am in no hiu'ry
at all," exclaimed John, casting his eyes
down the precipitous, crooked roadway.
“But I am,” retorted the reckless
whip as he let the nags out another
notch.
Sherman was scared. He had reason
to be. Others had been scared before
him, and more are sure to find them-
selves in the same fix. A second later:
“Driver, pull up. I just as leave—in
fact, I prefer to walk down this place.”
“No, you don’t, Senator. I’ve got
three minutes to reach the valley, and
I’m going to make it or break a. leg.”
The lively six-broncho team sped
recklessly ahead, Sherman holding on
with might and main.
Turning. a sharp curve, the swing-pole
suddenly snapped. For a few moments
things looked squally. A single lurch
might send the coaCh over a 300 feet:
precipice.
“Keep your seat," cried the Jehu,
who, with brake and reins, quickly
brought his team to a standstill.
A little later Sherman was holding the
lines, his foot braced on the “holdback,”
while the driver was down among the
cattle splicing the broken swing bar.
All was in order again presently, and
the Senator, reassured as to the entire
safety of the twelve-mile an hour canter
down a forty-five pitch grade, kept his
place to the bottom; without a quiver.
Thinking it over now, Sherman says
it. was the most exhilarating stage ride
he ever experienced, and he wouldn’t
mind making the trip overland from
California a second time, just to take in
that interesting piece of Star Route
expediting down the Siskiyous.
CONGRESSRIAN LA “7 LER‘S LOBSTERS.
When Congressman Lawlcr of Chicago
made his first visit. to New York, some
years ago, a friend invited him to a
restaurant, where they called for soft-
shell crabs. Lawler had never seen any
before, and did not. know what they
were. He liked them, however, and a.
few days afterward, wishing to rcgalo
himself again with some of the tooth-
somc crustaceans, he hunted up the
restaurant, walked ‘in, and sat down at;
a. table; but he had forgotten the name
of the food he desired. Looking over a.
bill of fare he saw “lobsters." He
called the waiter and said: "Waiter,
have you any lobsters?" “Yes," said
the waiter. “Bring me a dozen,” said
Lawler. “A dozen!” exclaimed the
waiter, in astonishment. Lawler saw
that he had made a mistake, but he was
not going to admit it. “ Confound you,”
he said, “don‘t you suppose I know
what I want ? Bring me a dozen.“ The
table was cleared of everything that was
on it, and Lawlcr pitched in. He ate.
all be possibly could; called for a‘ glass
of brandy, looked up at the waiter and
said: “ Waiter, I was not as hungry as
I thought I was. How much is the
bill ?" “Fourteen dollars and fifty
cents," replied the waiter. “Why, it. is
not as much as I thought it would be,”
said Lawicr. “ Here, you needn’t mind
the change," and handing the waiter
$15 M12. Lawlcr walked out.

DISTINCTIOSS IN BEING ICICKED.
The Arabs, clever horsemen as they
are, are quite as liable to accident as
English grooms. But the Arab likes to
be kicked by a thoroughbred horse, and
cannot endure to be put to any pain by
.5111 animal whose pedigree is at all do-
fective. An English surgeon had been
setting the broken leg of an Arab, who
complained more of the accident that.
had befalleu him than was thought be-
coming in one of his tribe; this the sur-
geon remarked to him, and his answer
was truly characteristic. ‘ ‘ Do not think,
doctor, I should have uttered a. word of
complaint if my own high—bred colt, in
a playful kick hndbroken both my legs,
but to have my leg broken by a brute of
a jackass is too bad, and I will com-
plain." ~ ' ‘
