W
WHEN 'I AM DEAD.
If I tomight were lying dead,
Would they who now with scoff and fear
Defame my life;would they draw near
. And mouth their scandals o’er my head?
Would they with malice venomed dart
Reope the wounds in my dead heart!
Would they whose burdens I have borne,
, To help them on their upward way,
.‘ Though I was weak and poor as they
' And needed favors in return;
Would they requite me when I‘m dead
With sorrow—or with scorn instead?
'I
If, looking down in my dead face,
They marked the lines of toil and care
And self denial printed there,
Which death itself could not eiface,
Would they not say, “she‘s happier far
Than we who have maligned her are?"
If sacrifice for others' need, ._.
If craving love where none is given, '; .
If these be sin in sight of heaven. 5,
Then I must stand condemned indeed; .-
But malice wrought on any one
Is evil I have never done.
And so, when I shall come to die,
This heritage of hate will cease;
And in its place the sweetest peace
Will brood aroum me where I lie,
And all my life of love and care
Will rise toward heaven like a prayer.
THE WITNESS.
During the month of February, 1853, Seth
Damon, of Acton, instituted an action at
law against Gabriel Butterworth, of the same
town, for the recovery of $30,000 of which he
claimed that said Butterworth had defrauded
him. The circumstances were these:
Buttel'worth owned and kept the principal
store in Acton, and though he had never been
regarded as an exemplary gentleman, his
honor in business had not been impugned.
Those who had the faculty of looking upon
the undercurrents of human actions decided
that he was a man not bound by honor, but
who understood the laws of self interest too
well to be guilty of small meannmes in bus:-
ness. What he was capable of doing on a
grand scale was not mooted until the occur-
rence of which I am about to speak.
Seth Damon had removed from Edson to
Acton in the fall. and had purchased the iron
works. Shortly after concluding the pur—
chase, he had a payment of $30,000 to make,
and late on a Saturday afternoon he arrived
from New York with the money, part of it
in bank notes, and part of it in gold. W'hen
he arrived he found that the parties to whom
the money was to be paid had left town, and
would not return till Monday. Mr. Butter-
worth had the only reliable safety vault in
town, and to him Damon took the $30,000,
asking permission to lodge it in his vault over
the Sabbath, which permisiion was readily
and cheerfully granted.
During Sunday night the people of the vil-
lage were aroused by the. alarm of fire; and,
upon starting out, it. was found that the
alarm came from Butterworth’s store, but
Mr. Butterworth had been active. He had
discovered the fire in season, and, with the
assistance of his boys, had put it out before
much damage had been done. Upon looking
over the premiSIs it was found that the fire
had not only been the work of an incendiary,
but that it had been set in several different
places.
“How forttmate,” said the owner, “that I
discovered it in season.”
But very soon another discovery was made.
The safety vault had been broken open and
every dollar it had contained stolen! Here
was alarm and consternation. Gabriel But-
terworth seemed fit to go crazy.
“For myself I care not,” he cried.‘ “A few
hundreds Were all I had in there; but my
friend had a great sum 1”
Immediately search for the robber or rob-
bers was instituted, and word was sent far
and near to all sherifi's and their deputies,
and to the police of the cities.
Now, it had so happened that on that very
Sunday evening, or, I may say, Sunday night,
I, John Watson, had been returning from my
brother’s, in Dunstable. I had left my hired
team at the stable, and on my way to my
boarding house I passed the store of Mr. But-
terworth. In the back yard of the store was
a horse trough, and, being thirsty, I stepped
around that way to get a drought of water.
As I stooped to drink at the spout of the foun-
tain I saw a gleam of light through a crevice
in the shutters of one of the store windowa.
Curiosity impelled me to go and peer through;
for I wondered who could be in there at that
hour of a Sunday night. The crevice was
quite large, made by a wearing away of the
edges of the shutters where they had been
caught by the books that held them back
when open, and through it I looked into the
store. I looked upon the wall within which
the safety vault was built, and I saw the
vault open, and I saw Gabriel Butterworth
at work therein. I saw him put large pack—
ages into his breast pocket and I saw him
bring out two or three small canvas bags,
and set them on the floor by the door that
opened toward his dwelling. As I saw him
approaching this outer door a second time I
thought he might come out, and I went away.
It was an hour afterward that I heard the
alarm of fire. And it was not until the fol-
lowing moz-ning that I heard of the robbery
of the auto.
I was placed in a critical position, but I had
a duty to perform. I went to Mr. Damon,
and told him what I had seen; and also gave
him liberty to call upon me for my testimony
in public when he should need it. Until I
should be called upon I was to hold my silence.
While the officers were hunting hither and
thither Mr. Damon kept a strict watch upon
the movements of Mr. Butterworth, and at
length detected him in the act of depositing a
large sum of money in a bank in Buffalo.
Butterworth was then arrested.
This is the way matters stood when I was
summoned to appear before the grand jury at
Wiltonburg. I went there in company with
Mr. Damon, and secured lodgings at the
Sabine house. It was a small inn, well and
comfortably kept, and frequented by patrons
of moderate means. There were two public
houses of more fashionable pretensions in the
lace.
p It was on the afternoon of Monday, Feb.
14, that I took quarters at the Sabine. house,
and after tea I requested the landlord to build
a fire in my room, which he did; and be also
furnished me with a. good lamp. It was 8
O'clock, and I sat at the table engaged in
reading, when some one rapped at my door.
I said, “Come in,” and a young man named
Laban Shaw, entered, bringing his carpet
bag in his hand. This Shaw I had known
very well as a clerk of Gabriel Butterworth,
but I had never been intimate with him from
the fact that I had never liked him. He must
have seen the look of displeasure upon my
face, for he quickly said:
“Pardon me, Mr. Watson, I don’t mean to
intrude. I have come down to be present at
the examination tomorrow—summoned by
Bufierworth‘s man, of course—and I got here
too late to get a room with a stove in it; and,
worse still, I must take a room with another
bed in it, and with a stranger for company.
And so, may I just warm my fingers and
toes by your fire and leave my carpet bag
under your bed?”
He laughed when he spoke of the carpet
bag; but yet he did not know what sort of
faculty his stranger room mate might have
f .)I‘ getting up and walking off in the night.
Of course I granted him his request, and
he put his carpet bag under my bed and then
sat down by my stove, and we chatted socia-
bly enough for half an hour or more without
oncernlluding to the business which had
brought the pair of us to Wiltonburg. His
conversation was pleasant, and I really came
to like the fellow; and I thought of myself
that I had been prejudiced against him with-
out cause. At length he arose and bade me
good night and went away, and shortly after-
ward I retired.
I had been in bed but ,a little while when
another rap disturbed me, and to my demand
of what was wanted I received an answer
from Laban Shaw. He bade me not to light
clamp. He had only come for his night-
gown. He could get it in the dark. I arose
and unlocked my door, and his apologies were
many and earnest. He always slept in win-
ter in a flannel nightgown, and he had.
thoughtlessly left it in his carpet bag. He
was sorry, very sorry. He had thought to
trytosleep without it rather than disturb
me, but his room was cold, and—-
I cut him short, and told him there was no
need of further apology; whiiehe fumbled
over his bag, I wentto the stove to make
double assurance that the fire was all right.
I offered to lights. match for him, but he
said he had got his dress, and all was right.
He then went out, and I closed and locked
the door after him, and then got back into
bed
ButI was not toslecp. I had been very
sleepy when Shaw disturbed me. But an en-
tirely dilIcrent feeling possessed me now. First
came a nervous twitching in my limbs, a
"crawly” feeling, as some express it; that sen-
sation which induces gaping and yawning,
but which no amount of yawning could now
subdue. By and by a sense of nightmare
stoic upon me; and, though perfectly awake,
I). sense as of impending danger possessed me.
At length so uncomfortable did I become in
my recumbent position that I arcs-o and
lighted my lump, resolved to Iaplenish my
fire, and dress myself, and see if I could read
away my nervous fit.
My lamp was lighted, and us I returned to
the bedside for my slippers, my attention was
attracted by a string which lay upon the cur-
pet; a string leading from the bed to the
door. I stooped to examine it and found it
fast at both ends. I brought the lamp, and
took a more careful survey. The stringuwas
a fine silken trout line, new and strong, one
end Of which disappeared beneath the bed,
and the other beneath the door. In my then
present condition I was suspicious of .ovil,
and my senses were painfully keen. fishing
the hanging edge of the covcrlet I looked un-
der the bed. The carpet bug which Laban
Shaw had left there, partly. open, with
tho silken line leading out from it. What
could it mean? Had the man acci-
dently carried the end of the line away with
hisnightdress without noticing it? Idrew
the bag out from beneath the bed, and as I
held itsfi jaws apart I saw, withip, a double
barreled pistol, both hammers cocked, bright
percussion caps gleaming upon the tubes,
while the silken line, with double end, was
made fast to the triggers! And I saw that
the muzzle of the pistol barrels were inserted
into the end of an oblong box, or case, of
galvanized iron. And I comprehended, too.
that a very slight pull upon that string
might have dischargefi the pistol, and, there-
fore, that a man outside of my door might
have done that thing.
For a little time my hands trembled so that
I dared not touch the infernal contrivanoe;
but at length I composed myself and went at
work. First, I cut the string with my knife,
and then, as carefully as possible, I eased
down the hammers of the pistol, after which
I drew it from the iron case. I had just done
this when I heard astop in the hall outside
my door. Quick as thought I sprang up and
turned the key, and threw the door open, and
before me. revealed by the light of lay own
lamp, stood Laban Show. He was frightened
when he saw me, and trembled like an aspen.
I was stronger than he at any time, and now
he was a child in my hands. I grasped him
by the collar and dragged him into my room,
and I pointed the double barreled pistol at
his breast, and I told him I would shoot him
as I would shoot a dog if he gave me occasion.
He was abject and terrified. Like a
whipped cur he crawled at my feet and
begged for mercy. His master .had hind
him to do it with promise of great reward. It
had transpired that my testimony before the
jury would be conclusive of Butterworth's
guilt, and Butterworth had taken this means
to get rid of me. In his great terror the poor
accomplice made a full confession, and when
he had told all, I released my grasp. Ho
begged that I would let him go, but I dared
not—my duty would not allow it. I rang the
bell, and in time the hostler, who slept in the
ofilce, answered my summons. I sent bill.
for an officer, and at length had the set-is-
faction of seeing my prisoner led safely
away.
On the following day the carpet bag was
taken before the grand jury and the iron case
examined by an experienced chemist. adstcd
by an old armorer from the arsenal. It was'
found to contain a fulminate of mercury.
mixed with bits of iron; and it was the opinv
ion of both the chemist and the armorer that
the power of the terrific explosive agent, had
it been ignited, as it was placed, beneath my
bed, would not only have been sufiicient to
blow me to atoms, but that it would also have
literally stripped and shivered to fragments
all of the house above it.
And a single pull- of the silken string would
have been sufficient to this horrible end! And
but for my nervous waking—my incubus of
foreboding—the destroyer would have come.
the fatal cord would have been touched, the
mine sprung and I should have been launched
into eternity as if on the lightning’s bolt.
And so Gabriel Butterworth did not pro-
cure the destruction of my testimony, but,
through that testimony, the grand jury found
cause for indictment of far graver character
than had at first been anticipated; and of
those graver charges he was convicted. Seth
Damon received back'the full sum he had in-
trusted to the false man's care, "and shortly
afterward I entered into business with him,
and to-day Seth Damon and I are partners.

to Idaho. 1 have not heard of him since.

The Growth of Chicago.
This growing, by the way, makes some
curious and expensive letting down of tucks
and piecing and destroying. Thus, some one
referred in my hearing to talk about selling
Honore block, and remarked that the prop.
erty was rather hard to dispose of because
“the building was not modern, and yet it was
too good to tear down.” Now this rather made
me stare. Honore block. a six story affair
cornering next to the postomce, was put up
after the great fire, being finished about a
dozen years ago, with a stone front, fine ele-
vutor and all things befitting, so that I had
known it as the crack business building of the
city. But now it is a dozen years old, and
not “modern.” The present way is to run up
eight or ten stories, have the interior given
more light and air than was known until re-
cently, and then put in two or three elevators
which seem to be modeled upon the machines
sometimes seen in circuses and called “cata.
pulls.” They must be worse for the nerves
than the catapults, though, for the circus men

Eldpers Sure Enough.
“There had . been anlaccount of an clog»-
ment in the morning papers,” said the com-
mercial traveler, “and I was thinking of it
when a couple drove up to the country hotel
and registered, ‘Mr. and Mrs. So-and-So.’ I
winked at the boys and said: ‘Herc’s for a
joke.’ The old hotel keeper was a very dear
friend of mine and took my word for gospel
truth, so when I said: ‘Look out for ’em! I
think I know ’em, and they are eloping and
they are not married,’ etc., you ought to
have seen the old fellow. Ho scowled and
lifted his chin, and wagged it up and down
half a dozen time, sort of as though he was
thinking it over, and then he walked off. All
the other boys in the house were put on to
the joke and we agreed to watch the old man
and see what he did.
“Supper rang, and the party of traycling
men took seats at one table and left the new
arrivals to the sole occupancy of another.
The hotel proprietor, who helped serve at the
table, took his station as much as possible be-
hind the young couple, his eye all the time
watching, their every movement.
“ ‘Will you have some sugar in your tea i’ at
length said the young man to his companion.
as he passed the saccharine for her use. '
‘-‘ ‘No, thank you; I never use sugar in my
tea,’ was the sweet response.
“We were watching the old man as he stood
near them and heard this answer. He grew
about a foot in a second. 'He’s got a clew,‘
said I to myself. And it was a claw such as
would make the eye of a Pinkerton detective
sparkle. The idea of a. husband not knowing
whether his wife used sugar in her tea or not!
The old man didn’t linger long about coming
to a decision. He leaned over and said:
‘Young man, you leave the table. That
woman is not your wedded wife.’
“The couple never whimpered. The y called
for their'team and drove on. The lacst sur-
prised party in the afi’air was ours. We
hadn’t dreamed that we were so near the
truth. The next day the same pair
were arrested in a neighboring town andcar-
ried back to their homes. If I should tell
that landlord now that the Methodist minis-

FROMiPlSA TO NICE.
A Journey Through the / Earthquake
Shaken District of Italy.
That part of the Italian coast which was
recently shaken up by the earthquake is his-
torical. Posting 0!] the Corinche roadused
to be part of a liberal education. I made a
trip in the saddle once from Pisa, by Genoa,
and through Monaco to Nice, where my
gulled jade gave up the ghost, and I took to
the railroad It was a wonderful journey.
At the start it was in a pleasant country.
Then we came into the shadow of the Apen-
nines, in regions bleak and black with bandit
history. Ruins and poverty were on all sides.
Evcu the noble carriage road was advancing
In decay. The locomotive mooked us as it
went by, scaring the ghosts of Byron and
Coleridge, of Keats and Shelley, — Lever,
Dickens and the rest of the storied solitudes
through which we rode. All that was left of
their time and the remoter past was the beg-
These no locomotive whistle could charm
away. They stood guard, or squatted it,
along the road, much closer than the mile-
stones. I nevcr saw such horrible examples
of bodily deformity and mutilation in my
life as there. One of our party, a young
Neapolitan student, assured me that there
was a man in Naples who manufactured crip-
ples for this trade. He took children and
maimed and distorted them to order, and,
no matter how short nature's supply of mon-
strosities might be, contrived to eke it out. I
thought my pleasant fellow traveler was draw-
ing the long bow until years later, here at
home, I read in an Italian paper of the
breaking up of a cripple factory in his own
city, and the condemnation of the miscreant
who ran it to penal servitude.
The most beautiful part of the Corniche is
between Genoa and Nice. Here the tropics
girdle the temperate zone with fruit and
blossom. The Mediterranean is a plain of
sapphire, netted over with the white crests of
the breaking wavelets. The fishing villages
and the farm on either hand are like scenes
at the opera. The only people who work are
the convicts breaking stones to mend the
roads. You have plenty of company, for
there are winter i‘esorts all along from Sa-
vonatothe French border. Here the Alps
come down to the sea, and the foam frets the
feet of the eternal hills. They begin at about
San Remo. Ventimiglia is among them,
Mentonc, too, and Monaco is on a miniature
Alp of its own. It was at this point that the
earthquake did the least damage, according
toreports. It caused most harm in the Big
viera, as the street is called, from San Remo
toGeuoa. But the swells at Cannes, Nice
and Mentone had a dreadful fright—Alfred

The Formation of new.
The prevalent story of the formation of
dew is quite disarrauged by the observation
of Professor H. E. Alvord, who has lately
published a treatise on the subject. He em-
ployed nice instruments, such as have been
described by Sachs and Darwin. He found
that on clear nights, when the atmosphere
was I'nI'L-licll, the lighter stratum would be
easily pushed out of the way by the cool and
heavier body drawn by its weight to the sur-
face. The thermometer at four inches from
the ground would in these cases range from
6 to 10 dogs. lower than at four feet from the
poond.

ANNUAL RACES OF PERSIA.
A Lively and Mercurial ' People-TIL.
‘ Armies of thofihah.
In Persia, at least, the annual races are a.
genuine godsend. Although given under
royal auspices, thm ram are (2331:: to all
alike; any one who plea-la can enter a racer,
and all, from the mendicaut to tho shah, may
look on, putting in practice the proverb that
a cat may look at the king. The streets are
thronged with spectators as coach after
coach wheels by to the races, aitcndcd by
scam of mounted attendants in groz'gwous
livories. The beautiful plum; c'l gates of
the city are black with nimble urchins who
have scaled the giddy heights to catch a
glimpse of the show. For once the strict
court etiquette seemed relaxed and covcrc g2:
and people meet on the me piano—tact o.
a common, a universal enjoyman
The Persians are lively and mercurial like
the Parisians, fond of splendor and display,
and they'will euduro much from a ruler who
fills their eyes with spectacular pageants. The
occasion is rendered more brilliant and useful
as well because of the great military Iwado
that is given on the final day of the races.
For it serves to stimulate the esprit du corps
of the troops and enables one to form an In-
telligible idea of the composition and dISCI-
pline of the armies of tho shah at the present
time. One sees there troops uniformed III a
semi European style and drilled in Europcau
tactics, and also irregular cavalry wearing
the picturesque costumes of other days, With
muskets seven feet long and spiked forks on
which to rest them in action.
Parks of modern breech loading artillery
are followed by batteries of small cannon,
carried on camels and mules, "from whose
backs the quaint artillery is fired, a method
that is not without value even now amid
some of the fearful mountain roads of Persia.
The cavalry is very finely mounted, and for
skill in evolutions or in keeping in the saddle
cannot be surpassed. A very odd feature of
this annual parade is the enormous fil or ele-
phant, which takes the load with stately tread
and covered with gay caparisons. It reminds
one of the times 10ng passed when Darius and
Chosroes maintained whole ranks of elephants
in the van of their victorious armies.-—S. G.

the waiters. A glance at the tables in the
west parlor served to explain the interpreta-
tion of a crazy tea, which had been prepared
for the company. Cold ham and tongue were
attractively arranged in cake baskets, apples
with toothpicks stuck in them, a la porcu-
pine, milk in gravy dishes, butter in pickle
dishes. sugar in celery glasses, paper napkins
modeled into hats, tents, ferules and other ob-
jects, cake in crumb pans and new dust pans,
gave evidence that the tables had been ar-
ranged to demonstrate crazine- at the first
glance.
But the appearance of the waiters when
they marched into the supper room after the
first table of guests had been seated was the
climax of the whole affair. They numbered
about twenty, and the most eccentric attire:
were displayed, which created long and con-
tinuous applause and laughter. The prevail-
ing idea had been to reverse the ordinary
custom of wearing clothing. Coats were re-
versed and buttoned behind, shirt fronts, cel-
lars, ties, and even pantaloons were so rc-
versed, and the head gear, consisting of a
mask at the back of the head, with a plain
mask for the face, was such an illusion that
one could not tell whether he was looking at
the front or back of a waiter, and, when try‘
ing to attract his attention, would often have
him turn about when he thought he was
standing feet toward the table. The lady
waiters had the best costumes and the most
fantastic attires. Several gentlemen imper-
sonated the “lady waiters.” The ladies were
not dressed in reverse. and several had some
very clever caricatures on the modern styles.

Punishing a Crime In Germany,
An ex-consul is reported as saying: “To il~
lustrate tho stringency of the criminal laws
in Germany, it is made a penal offense in that
country to strike a man who wears spectacles
or eyeglasses. A case in point occurred not
long ago, in which an American of Wealth
and excellent social position in our country
became involved in a trifling dispute with a.
German in one of their beer gardens. In the
course of the altercation be, for the moment,
lost his temper and struck the man, who wore
glasses He was not aware of the extent of
the offense which he had committed, but he
was at once placed under arrest, and was in-
formed of the nature of the law. He at once
did all in his power to right the wrong which
he had done and avoid the penalty. He caused
the man’s eyes to be examined by one of the
most celebrated oculists in Germany, who
pronounced them in good condition. He also
presented the man with a large sum of money.
about $1,500, with which to go into business,
All this was of no avail, however, as the ma-
chinary of the law, once set in operation, con-
tinued its work, and the American was con-
demned to serve two years in the penitentiary.
The American consul at once began efforts
for the release of the man, but it was not until
he had served eight months of his sentence
that the influence of the consul with the
emperor prevailed and the man was par-
doned.”—Chicago Herald.
Expense of fanning a Circus.
“N ow, there's the matter of the expense of
rum ing a circus,” said Mr. Cooke. “Few
people understand or know anything about it.
When they look at their bill and read the line
‘At an enormous expense,’ etc., nine out of
every ten of them smile incredulously. By
the way, all big circuses employ a man es-
pecially to write the programme and other
billing matter. Well, the general public, as
I said, looks upon all statements of this sort
as mere figures of speech. But I can show
you clearly that there is no particular fun in
owning or running a large circus, and that
there is little or no exaggerationin the figures
generally given as the expense of operating
the shows.
“Before we exhibit in a city at all the first
expense we incur isthat of advertising. This
department alone entails an expense of about
8800 per day. This covers all the outlay neces-
sary to bring the show before the public eye,
and the newspapers naturally get the lion’s
share of it. The mt is laid out in pictorial
paper for the walls and bill boards, in litho-
graphs for store windows, in bill posting,
livery hire, etc. You see, we 'bill’ every town
within fifty miles of that in which we halt,
and each country road or school district is
thoroughly canvamd byour bill posters and
mounted buglexs-the latter an innovation of
my own introduced a few years ago. These
buglers carry huge bundles of bills on horse- ;
back, and as they ride through the country,
blowing loud blasts at every farm or cross
road, they create a great'sensation. I have
often seen the farm‘hands leave the plow and
run a quarter of a. mile or more in the scorch-
ing sun to ascertain what was up, and then,
having found out, walk leisurely back read-
ing our advertisements.”—New York Cor.

Novel Idea in Advertising.
In France, the original idea of substituting
some fair damsels for the negroes, who, in
our land, and for a consideration, sandwich
themselves between two posters and perform
the functions of an ambulating siguboard,
was based on the Salvation Army. A
Frenchman, observing the quaint charm of
some of the young damsels in their odd
gowns and poke bonneb who ofiered tracts
to an unbelieving public on a street corner of
Paris, conceived the idea of utilizing femi~
nine loveliness as an advertising medium for
new costumes. The name and the addres of
the-modiste who creates the work of art are
introduced tastefully in some portion of. the
garment, and the advertiser, who is naturally
chosen for her aptitude in displaying this
chef d’muvre to the best advantage, prom.
enades to and fro on a frequented street, so
that all who walk may read.
There is nothing grotesque in the introduc-
tion of the advertisement, so that as the
costume is not impaired in its elegance, it is
perhaps the most effectual method of adveo
tising discovered in modern times. Fer it
seems that the Roman hippodrome had its
well filled beach of advertisers in the shape
of girls who were clad in the last fashion of
peplums and trailing skirts, to be studied and
admired by the excellent Roman matron,
who in this way was informed exactly where
'to shop OII the following morning. Fashion-
able and witty women III Athens performed
the mac role for compatriots of their own
sex—not gratuitously, of course, but receiving
proper compensation from the Grecian
modistc, who thus brought her wares before
the public. —The Argonaut.
Sparring by Ladies.
An opinion in support of the efficacy of the .
exercise comes from one of the leading
gen-ems of the day, who thus speaks of spar-
ring by ladies: “ If a lady engaged in theatri-
cal or operatic work could select but one of
the many accomplishments to which we as a
class are devoted I should recommend spar-
ring. The stately carriage, without which
none of us can hope to succeed, is made the
more easy by a knowledge of the principles
of boxing, and it comes, too, without any
seeming effort. The grace of motion that
some believe comes only after having spent
days and weeks with the foils or under the
tutelage of a dancing master is just as wily
acquired by sparring, and I thmk' in a much
less time. Our most successful actors and
actresses are them that include among their
other accomplishments that of the principles
of self-defense. Langtry, Modjeeka, Fanny
Davenport, Mary Anderson and others are all
adept in the art, and I am- glad to know that
the younger members of the profemionare
beginning to devote some attention to the
matter.”-New York Mail and Express.
It vhas awful good if you can forgif your
