AT MOONRISE.

Bow hushed and quiet the gaunt poplars spring
Beside the lake, ,

Where the song weary thrush. head underwving,
Is nestling half awake!

The warm gray lights of evening linger there

Or gently pass .
Along the (lappled water, and the air
No voice nor music has.

 

Low on the night‘s marge yonder, a big moon,
Clearing the blue,

Comes up and silvers the broad shades which soon
The bats flit darkly through.

And visions, born of fancy and «the night,

, Glide to and fro,

Move with dream feet amid the solemn light,
And softly come and go.

Across the moor—else silent over earth
And sky‘s wide range—
Steals the low laughter of two lovers‘ mirth;
How sweet it sounds, yet strange!
—-Si(lney A. Alexander in English Illustrated
Magazine.

THE DEVIL’S REVENGE.

It was toward the end of November;
the Imperial garden of Vienna was de-
serted: a sharp breeze was whirling the
saffron colored leaves, shrunk up by the
early cold; the rose bushes, tormented
and broken by the wind, let \ their
branches drag in the mud. Still, the
grand alloy, thanks to its covering of
sand, was dry and passable. Although
devastated by the approach of winter,
the Imperial garden was not without a
certain melancholy charm. The long alley
prolonged far away its reddening arcades;
beyond, the view stretched over the Prater
and the Danube; it was such apromenade
as a poet would have desired. ‘

A young- man was striding up and
down this alloy with visible signs of im-
patience; his costume, somewhat theatri-
cnlin its elegance, consisted of a frock
coat of black velvet, with gold facings and
bordered with fur, gray woolen printa-
loons, top boots, with tassels, coming half
way up his legs. He might have been 27
or 28 years of age; his pale and regular
features were‘full of finesse, and irony
lurked iii the creases around his eyes and
the corners of his month. In the uni-
versity, which he appeared to have quit-
ted recently—for he still wore the stu-
dent’s cap with oak leaves—he must have
plagued the Philistines, and shone in the
front ranks of the burschen and the foxes.

The narrow limit within which he cir-
cumscribed his walk showed that he was
waiting for some one—probably a lady;
for the Imperial garden of Vienna in the
month of November is hardly propitious.
to business rendezvous. Soon a young
girl appeared at the end of.the avenue.
A turban of black silk covered her rich,
blonde hair, whose ringlets had been
slightly uncurled by the dampness of the
evening; her complexion, ordinarily of
waxen whiteness, had taken a rosy tint
from the bite of the cold. Draped and
wrapped she was in a mantle trimmed
with marten skin; n'little terrier accom-
panied her—a convenient chaperon, on
whose indulgence and discretion you
could count.

“Imagine, Heinrich,” said the pretty
V'enncse, taking the young man’s arm,
“I have been dressed and ready to go out
for more than an hour. and my aunt kept
on with her sermons on the dangers of

 

-waltzing, on recipes for Christmas cakes

and carp with blue sauce. I went out on
the pretext- of buying some gray boots, of
which I have no need whatever. It is
for you, Heinrich, that-I tell all these
little lies which I am constantly regretting
and constantly beginning over again.
What an idea of yours it was to take to
the stage! What was the good of study-
ing theology so long at Heidelberg? My
parents liked you, and we might have
been iiiari'ied today but for that. Instead
of meeting on the sly under the bare trees
of the Imperial garden, we should be
seated side by side before a. fine porcelain
stove in a nice warm room, talking of the
future of our children. Would not that
be a happy lot, Heinrich?”

“Yes, Katy, very happy,” replied the
young man, as be pressed, under the
satin and fur. the dimpled arm of the
pretty Viennese; “but I cannot help it.
The theatre attracts me invincibly; I
dream of it by (lay, I think of it‘ by night;
I feel the destre to live in the creation of
the poets; I seem to have twenty exist-
enccs. Every role that I play makes me
new life; all those passions that I express
I feel. I am Hamlet, Othello, Charles
Moor. \Vhen one is all that, he can with
difficulty resign himself to the humble
condition of a. village pastor.”

“'I‘hat is very noble. But you know
that my parents never will have an actor
for a son-iii-law.”

“No, certainly, not an obscure actor; a
poor. ambulaiit artist, the puppet of man-
agers and the public. But a great actor,
C.;\'cl‘e(l with glory and applause, who
earns more money, they will not refuse,
however scrupulous they may be. When
I shall come to ask your hand in a hand-
some yellow coach, the varnish of which
will be able to serve as it looking glass for
the astonished neighbors, and a tall lackey
covered with gold lacc will let down the
steps for me, do you think they will re-
fuse me?"

“I do not think they will. But who
says. IIOlill‘lcll, that you will ever come to
that? You have talent, but talent is not
sufi‘icicot; you must have much good luck
besides. By the time that you 'shall be-
come the grand actor of whom you 'spenk,
the best time of your youth will have
passed, and then will you be ready to
marry Katy, grown old, when you have
at your disposal the loves of all those
princesses of the theatre who are so joy-
ous and so gayly decked?”

“That future,” replied Heinrich, “is
nearer than you think. I have an advan-
tageous engagement at the theatre of the
Corinthian Gate, and the manager is so
satisfied with the manner in which I
played my last role that he has made me
a present of 2,000 tlialers.” .

“Yes,” replied the young girl, with a
serious air, "that role of a (lemon in the
new piece. I confess to you, Heinrich,
that I do not like to see a Christian as-
sume the mask of the enemy of the
human i'ace‘,'- and pronounce words of
blasphemy. The other day I went to see
you :it the Corinthian theatre, and at
every momcnthas afraid that a verl~
table hellfire would issue from one of
the traps where you were swallowed up
in flames of spirits of wine. I returned
home all confused, and I dreamed hor-
rible dreams. ’ ’

“My good Kat-y, that is all imagination;

to-morrow, too, will take place the last.

perforiiinncc, and I shall no longer put on
the black and red costume which so much
displeascs you.” _

“So much the better; my mind is aprey
to a vague feeling of alarm, and I fear
that the role which has been so profitable
.to your glory will not be profitable to your
salvation. i am afraid, too, that you will
contract - bad habits in the company of
those horrible comedians. I am sure that
you no longer say your prayers; and I
dare wager that- you have lost the little
cross I gave you."

llciiirich justified himself by showing
the little cross, which was still shining on
his breast.

\Vhile they were talking thus the two
lovers had arrived at the T0wer Strasse,
in the Leopoldstadt, in front of the shoe
maker who was famous for the perfection
of his gray boots. After chatting some

~ time at the door, Katy entered, followed

by her terrier, but not without having
abandoned her pretty, slender fingers to
the pressure of Heinrich’s hand.

Heinrich tried once more to get a
glimpse of his mistress between the dainty
boots and shoes that were symmetrically
arranged on the brass rods in the window;
but the fog had silvered the glass with its
moist breath, and he could only distin-

-uish a confused silhouette; then, taking
a heroic resolution, he turned on his heel
and Went, with deliberate step, to the inn
of the Two Headed Eagle.

t e a: a t c

That night there was in numerous com-
pany at the Two Headed Eagle;.the guests
Were of the most mixed description. The
Two Headed Eagle was one of those
blessed cellars celebrated by Hoffmann,
with steps so worn, so greasy, so slippery,
that you can not put your foot upon the
first one without at once finding yourself
at the bottom, with your elbows on the
table, a pipe in your month, between a
pot of beer and a measure of new wine.

Through the thick cloud of smoke, that
almost choked and blinded you at first, all
sorts of strange flguresappeared otters
few minutes. There were Wallachiuns
with their cafetan and Astrakhan cap,
Servians, Hungarians with their black
mustaches, caparisoncd with (lolmans and
embroidery; Bohemians with peppery 9931}:
glorious, narrow foreheads and probe

,osfes;'lionest Germans with laced coats;

artara with eyes turned up like those of

hinese; all imaginable populations. The
cast was represented by afut Turk coiled
up in a corner and peacefully smoking a
pipe of Moldavian cherry wood, with a
bowl of red clay and a mouth piece of yel-
10W amber. ' '

Everybody was eating and drinking; the
drink consisted of strong beer and a mi):-

 

t'iifcbf new red wine with old “TI—rite wine;
the food of slices of cold veal, ham or
pastry. - ~

Round the tables turned unceasiiigly
one of those long German waltzes which
produce upon northern imaginations the
same effect as hashcesh and opium on the
Orientals; the couples passed and repassed
rapidly; the women, almost fainting with
pleasure on the arms of their cavaliei‘s, to
the sounds of a waltz, swept away with
their skirt-s the clouds of smoke and re-
freshcd the faces of the drinkers. At the
counter some Morlaccan impi'ovisators,
accompanied by a player upon the guzla,
were reciting a sort of dramatic complaint
which seemed greatly to divert a dozen
strange figures, clothed in sheepskin and
coifed with tai'bouklis. _

Heinrich went to the end of the cellar
and sat at a table where were already
seated three or four personages of joyous
mien and merry humor.

“Ah, Heinrich!” cried the eldest of the
band; “mind yourself, my friends; fmnum
hath i it count. You know you Iltld It
truly diabolical look the other night; you
almost frightened me. \Vho would think
that Heinrich, who drinks beer as we do,
and who does not draw back. before a
slice of cold ham, could put on such
venomous, wicked and sardonic airs, and
that with a single gesture he can make a.
whole theatre shudder?”

“Eh? why that is the reason Heinrich
is a great artist, a sublime comedian!
There is no glory in playing a role that is
in your character; the triumph, for a co-
quettc, is to excel in playing iiigcnucs.”

Heinrich sat down modestly, called for
a large glass of mixed wine, and the coin-
versation continued on the same subject.
On all sides it was admiration and coni-
pliments.

“Ali! if the great \Volfgnng Goethe had
seen you!” said one.

“Show us your feet,” said another; “I

' am sure you have :t clovcn hoof.”

The other drinkers, attracted by these
exclamations, looked at Heinrich seri-
ously, all happy to have the opportunity
of: examining closely so remarkable in
man. The young men who had formerly
known Heinrich at the university, and
whose names ho hardly knew, came up to
him and shook him cordially by the hand,
as if they had been his intimate friends.

.Tho prettiest valseuses as they passed

shot at hiui the tenderest glances of the
blue and velvety eyes.

One man only, seated at a neighboring
table, seemed to take no part in the gen-
eral enthusiasm; his head thrown back-
ward, he was thrumming distractedly
with his fingers on the crown of his hat a,
military march, and front time to time he

' uttered a sort of lluinpli, singularly dubi-

ous.
Tlic aspect of this man was of the

~strangest. although he was dressed like

an honest burg‘zicr of Vienna, enjoying a.
modest- fortuiic; his gray eyes were shaded
with green tints, and shot out phosphoric
lights like the eyes of a cat. When his
pale, fiat lips parted, they showed two
rows of teeth very white, very sharp, and
very wide apart, of the most cannibalistic
and ferocious aspect; his long nails,
shining and curved, took a vague appear- -
once of claws; but that physiognomy ap-
peared only by rapid flashes; to the eye“
that watched him fixedly, his face rapidly
resumed the bourgeois and debonair ap-
pearance of a retired Viennese merchant,
and you felt astonished that you could
have suspected of villainy and deviltry a
face so vulgar and trivial.

Internally Heinrich was shocked at the
indifference of the man. That disdainful
silence took away their value from the
panegyrics which his noisy companions
lavished upon him. It was the silence of
an old and experienced connoisseur, who
does not allow himself to be deceived by
appearances. -

At'iiiriycr, the youngest- of the company,
the wai-iiiest admirer of Heinrich, could
not endure this coldness, and addressing
the strange man, as if taking him to bear
witness to an assertion that he advanced,
he said:

“Is it not so, sir, no actor has ever
played the role of Mephi'stopheles better
than my comrade here?”

“Humph!” said the stranger, flashing
his green eyes and cracking his sharp
teeth. “Mr; llcinrich‘ is a young man of
talent, whom I esteem very highly; but
he is wanting in many things necessary
to play the role of the devil.”

And suddenly drawing himself 11p:
“llavc you ever seen the devil, Mr. Hein-
rich?”

He put this question in such a strange
and mocking tone that all the company
felt a. shudder run down their backs.

“That, however, would be necessary
for the truthfulness of your play. The
other evening I was at the . theatre of the
Corinthian Gate, and I was not satisfied
with your laugh; it was, at the utmost, a
sly laugh. My dear Mr. Heinrich, this is
the way you ought to laugh.”

Arid thereupon, (is if to give him the
example, he burst into a laugh so sharp.
so strident, so sardonic, that the orchestra
and the dancers stopped at that very in-

stant, and the glass in the windows
trembled. The stranger continued this
pitiless and convulsive laugh for several
minutes, and Heinrich and his com-
panions,..iu spite of their terror. could not
help imitating it.

\Vhen Heinrich had recovered himself,
the vaults of the tavern were repeating,
like a feeble echo, the last notes of that
broken and terrible laugh, and the
stranger was iio'lon’ger there. ‘ ‘

t e * at or *

Some days after this strange incident,
which he had almost forgotten, or which
he remembered only as n. joke of an iron-
icul bui'glier, Heinrich was playing his
part of the demon iii a new piece. In the
first row of seats in the orchestra was
seated the stranger of the tavern, and at;
every word pronounced he shook his head,
winked his eyes, smacked his tongue -
against his palate and showed signs of the
liveliest.- impatience.

“Bad, bad!” he murmured to himself.

His neighbors, astonished and shocked
at his manners, applauded, and thought
to themselves that the gentleman was
very hard to please. '

At the end of the first not the stranger -
rose,'as if he had taken a, sudden resolu-

tion, strode over the big drum, the cym- .

bals and trombone, and disappeared
through the little door that leads from the
orchestra to the stage. Hciiirich,-waiting
until the curtain rose, was walking up
and“ down in the wings, and when he
came to the end of his short promenade,
what was his terror to see, as he turned,
standing in the middle of the narrow cor-
ridor, amysterlous personage clothed 'ex-
actly as he was, and who looked at hirn‘
with. .eyes whose greenish transparency
had a strange profundity in the darkness;
the white, sharp, wide set teeth gave
something ferocious to tire sardonic smile.

Heinrich could not fail _to recognize the
stranger whom he had seen at the Two
Headed Eagle, or rather the devil in per-
son, for it was he. ’

“Ah, ah, my young friend! you wish to
play the devil? You were very middling
in the first act, and you wduld decidedly
give a very poor idea of me to the good
citizens of Vienna. You will allow me
to replace you this evening; audas you
might interfere with me, I will send you
to the cellar below the stage.”

Heinrich recognized the Prince of Dark-
ness, and felt himself lost. Putting his
hand mechanically to the little cross that
Katy had given him, he tried to call for
help, and to murmur his formula of exor-
cism; but terror chokcc‘. him; he could
only utter a feeble rattle. The devil seized
Heinrich with his hooked hands by the
shoulders and pushed him by main force

through the floor; then he entered upon

the scene, when his we came, like a per-
fect actor,

His incisive, biting, venomous and truly
diabolic acting at first surprised the spec-
tators. What especially produced a great
effect was that sharp titter like t grat-
ing of a saw, that laugh of the damned
blaspheming the joys of Paradise. Never
had an actor attained such power of sur-
casm, such a depth of villainy; the audi-
ence laughed, but they trembled. All the
audience was panting with emotion;
phosphoric sparks glinted from the fingers
of the terrible actor; trains of sparkling
flame run from his feet; the light of the
lusters grew pale, the footlights shot out
reddish and greenish flashes; a sort of
sulphurous smell reigned in the theatre;
the spectators were, as it were, delirious,
and thunders of frantic applause greeted
each phrase of the marvelous Mephis-
topheles, who often substituted verses of
his own invention for the verses of the
poet, and the substitution was always
happy and accepted with transports.

Katy, who was in the theatre, was in a
state of extraordinary alarm; she (lid not
recognize her dear Heinrich; shc presuged
some misiortune with that Spirit of
divination which love gives.

The performance ended amidst in-
describable enthusiasm. - When the cur-
tain fell the public called for Mephis-
topheles with loud cries. He was sought
for in vain; but at lastascene shifter came
and told the manager that Heinrich had
been found in the cellar, where he had
probably fallen through a trap.

The hapless actor was taken up. His
clothing was; burngd in places, and 01}. his

situiuoe‘rS" wcrc‘ (leep scratches. They
spoke to him. but he did not answer. He
was dca(l.—Ii‘roni the French of 'l‘heopliilo

FISH IN THE DEPTHS.

Peculiar-lotto of . Deep Sea Denlzcns.
They Carry Their Own Lights.
“What an odd fish i”
An old member of the Maritime Exchange
‘ was exhibiting ina bottle one of the queer-
cst submarine monsters that the fancy could
paint. It apparently had no beginning and
no ending. One Could hardly tell where its
outlines left'off, and the alcohol in which it
was preserved began. It was like jelly.

 

owner, “that at the depth of 1,000 fatlioms,
the pressure upon a. fish or any other body is
equal to a ton to a square inch. These flab-
by looking fishes, that can be tied in a knot
at the surface, at such depths are firm bod-
ied and vigorous. \Vhen fish, apapted by or-
ganization to these depths, are brought to
the surface, frequently their bodies are rup«
tured, their viscera protrude, their eyes
start out and they present the appearance of
having suffered a frightful (loath. When the
fish ascends and the pressure upon his body
becomes less and less, the gases in its body be
gin to expand, and the expansion causes the
demoralized appearance of the fish. If the
fish could be popped up out of the sea in an
instant, it would probably explode with a
bang when it reached the surface.

“Just look at its jaws,” continued the ex-
hibitor. “When the fish are brought to the
surface most of them appear to be soft, pulpy
masses. The bones and muscles appear to be
feebly developed. The tissues seem thin,
weak and easily ruptured. These conditions,
implying muscular weakness, are apparently
inconsistent with the powerful shape of the
jaws and the i-apacious looking teeth of some
of the pi‘edaeious fishes.”

“How do they live?”

“That is hard to say. To the absence of
light is due many of the most wonderful
peculiarities of the deep sea fish. Some of
them are totally blind, having no eyes at all
or mere rudimentary eyes. Others have
huge eyes, so organized as to collect as many
light rays as possible. Sunlight, it is said,
does not penetrate to a depth of 200 fathoms.
If there is any light there at all it is the
merest glimmer, and below that depth there
is absolute darkness.

“Now these deep sea fishes being cut off al-
together from the sunlight, many of them
furnish their 'own light. They have no or-
ganized gas companies, but each furnishes
his own light—carries a lantern or torch
around with him. They have organs that
emit a phosphorescent gleam and shed light
On their path. Some of them carry little
torches in the form of tentacles that rise
from the tops of the heads. Many of them
have regular symmetrical rows of luminous
spots on their sides.”—-New York Mail and
Express.

 

A Story for Vlvlsectlonlsts.

A physician, who was also a. professor in a
medical college, was engaged for a great part
of his time in the vivisection of animals. He
had a. little daughter of whom he was very
fond, who was tenderly devoted to him. Ho
resorted to all sorts of methods to prevent
her from learning of his chief occupation.
She grew to the age of 14 without any knowl-
edge of the fact. One day she was visited
by another girl, of her own age, who, with
tears in her eyes, said she had lost her white
greyhound.

“What shall we do to find her?” the visitor
asked.

“Oh, I know,” said the doctor’s daughter,
“we will go to the college and get papa, and
he will help us find her, for you know there’s
no time to be lost. ”

The two girls started for the Medical col-
lege. A careless ,doorkeeper let them into
the laboratory where the professor was at:
work. They saw two students standing over
a table, and the young girl’s father, the doc-
tor, was engaged in the work of dissection
upon a living dog, which was none other
than the lost greyhound.

“Lcdat” screamed the dog’s mistress.

The poor animal heard the call, roused it-
self and sprang away from its tormentors.
It was unable to stand and sank again to the
floor. The dog’s mistress screamed and
rushed away from the room. But the pro--
fessor‘s daughter remained, as still and pale
as death, her eyes wide open and staring at
her father. Just as he, looking up, perceived
what had happened, he saw his daughter
sinking down in a faint. He sprang to her
and seized her in his arms. She did not re-
cover consciousness for two days, and was
then in a terrible fever. Recovering from
the fever, it was found that she had well
nigh lost her reason. She will, the narrator
of . the story says, probably always be the
victim of monomanie.-—Boston Transcript

Manufacture of Cheap Shirts.

Shirts wearing a decent air are seen in
many a window marked at fifty-nine cents.
An inquiry was made of a shirtmaker as to
how it was possible to make and sell a shirt
with linen bosoms and cuffs for so Iowa
price. Here is the paradoxical answer: “It
isand is not possible. It is possible when
the work is done in institutions. Beautiful
work is done in the great charitable institu-
tions. Manufacturers are glad to employ
them. Shirts they can have made there for
twenty-five cents a. dozen. This cheap work

evils that the working woman has to contend
against. Shirts are also made by women in
their homes for twenty-five cents a dozen.
Such women are not self-supporting, but
they eke out their husbands’ incomes in this
way, and can afford to work for less than the
working woman. '
These cheap shirts are also slop work. The
cotton is weighted with lime, and when
washed could be used for a strainer. The
bosoms are made of What , is called union

The British Magazine Rifle.

The magazine rifle selected for the use of
the British army was recently put through
a series of tests to measure its accuracy,
penetration, range, etc. The dilatoriness of
the English seems to have stood them in good
stead this time, for while the Germans are
discarding the “Mauser-7036? magazine
rifle scarcely a twelve month after its adop-
tion, because of its caliber (11 mm), they
have benefited by the experience, and pin
their faith to a. caliber nearly one-third
smaller. The new gun weighs no more than
the Martini-Henry, which, modified more or
less, has been in continual use in the British
army for seventeen years. It has a detacha-
ble magazine placed in front of the trigger
guard and holding eight rounds, with one
”more rammed home in the breech, making
nine. 'When one magazine is exhausted it is
detached with a. single movement and an-
other snapped on. The powder is comprcSSed
on the Swiss system, with the result that
smaller and lighter bullets may be used. The
soldier will be able to carry , 115 rounds.
where before he had only seventy. Still bet-
ter, the trajectory is flat and the range
much greater than that of the old style rifle.

U31 tit Cure for w arcs.

A young lady in town has been very much
troubled over a number of large warts on her
hands. She has tried every remedy she ever
heard of with the exception of having them
removed with the knife. And all to no effect,
until a last novel-remedy has done its work.
She claims to have got it from a gypsy

. woman. She cuts pieces of paper in squares
and large enough to cover a. wart. After
wetting them she plastered one of them on
each wart. When the pieces of paper had
dried she took them in the full of the moon
and placed them upon the ground beneath
the caves of a building, where the water could
drip upon them. After they had been thor-
oughly wet she placed them in an oven to
dry, and finally she placed them in the shape
of a triangle upon her hand and then thrust
her hand out of a third story window and
blow them off to the winds. In three days
the-warts had disappeared. She is so confi-
dent of the cure that she recommends it tool]
her friends—Daubury N ewil.

A LETTER DESCRIBING THE EXPE-
RIENCES OF A CONDUCTOR.

 

No Class of Men Itequiro More Grace,
Because None Have More Annoyances

to Suffer, or More Oiitruges l’rhcticcd

Upon Thom—A Conductor’s Dream.

SEDALIA, Mo., March Ill—The Rev. '1‘.
Dewitt Talmage, D.D., now in this city,
is making a tour of the west. He substi-
tutes the following letter for his usual
Friday'night talk at the Tabernacle in
Brooklyn :

Iii my excursions oil the railroads,
north, south, east and west, I am put
much in syiiipntly with the conductors.
Noclziss of men require more grace, be.
cause none have more annoyances to suf-

fer, or more outrages practiced upon-

thcin. One of them especially attracted
my attention. He had been on the train

all day, had met all kinds of people, re- ‘

ceived all sorts of treatment, punctured
all kinds of tickets. shouted “All out!”
and “All aboardl”till throat, and head,
and hand, and foot were weary. It would
be a long while before we would get to
another depot, and so he bagged .down in
the corner of the car to sleep. He was in
the most uncomfortable position possi-
ble. The wind blew in his neck, his
arm was hung over the back of the seat,
he had one foot under him, and his knee
pressing hard against a brass hinge. In
that twisted and convoluted posit-ion he
fell asleep, and soon began to dream.

It seemed to him, in his sleep, that the
car was full of (lisagreeables. Here was
a man who persisted in having a window
up, while the rain and sleet drove in.
There was a man who occupied the whole

seat, and let the ladies stand. Here sat a _

man smoking three poor cigars at once,
and cxpectoratlng into the beaver hat of
the gentleman in front. Yonder was a
burglar on his way to 'jail,”and opposite a.
murderer going to- the gallows. He
thought that pickpockets took his watch
and ruflians refused to pay their fare. A
woman traveling alone shot at him in. vol-

ley of questions: “Say, conductor, how;

long before we will get to the junc-
tion? Are you sure we have not
passed it? Do you always stop
there? \Vhat time is it?” Madam,
do keep quiet! “None of your impu-
dence!” “How far from here to the
junction?” “Do you think that other
train will wait?" “Do you think we will
get there in time?” “Say, conductor, how
many miles yet?” “Are you looking
out?” “Now, you won’t let me go past,
will you?” “Here! conductor, here! Help
me out with my carpet bag, and bundbox,
and shawl, and umbrella, and this bundle
of sausage and head cheese.” “’hat was
worse, the train got going 150 miles an
hour, and pulling the connecting rope it
broke, and the cars got off the track and
leaped on again, and the stove changed
places with the wood box, and things
seemed going to terrible split and unmiti-
gated SIllliSIl. The cities flew past. The
breaks were powerless. The whistle grew
into n fiend’s shriek. Then the train be-
gun to slow up, and sheeted ghosts swung
lanterns along the track, and the cars
rolled into a white depot, which turned
out to be a great marble tomb; and
looking back to see his passen-
gers, they were all stark dead,
frozen in upright' horror to the car
backs. Hearing by the man’s snore, and
seeing by his painful look he was having
iiii:1\vfiil,(li-0am, we tapped him on, the
shoulder and said: “Conductor! Turn
over that seat, and take my shawl, and
stretch yourself out, and have a. comfort-
able-nap.” “Thank you, sir,” he said,
and immediately sprawled himself out in
the easiest way possible. He began his
sluiiibci's justnszm express train glides
gracefully out of Pittsburg depot; then
went at it more earnestly, lifted all the
brakes, put on all the steam, and in five
minutes was under splendid headway. He
began a second dream, but it was the op-
posite of the first. He tlinugbtrthat he
had just stepped on the platform of his
car, and a lady handed him a bouquet
fresh from the liotliousc. A long line of
railroad presidents and superintendents
had come to the depot to see him off, and
tipped their hats as he glided out
into the open air. The car was
an improvement on Pullman’s best.
Three golden goblets stood at the end,
and every time he turned the spigot of the
water cask it foamed soda water—vanilla
if you turned it one way, strawberryif
you turned at the other. The cuspadore
was solid silver, and had never been used
but once, when a child threw in an orange
peeling. The car was filled with lords
and (luclicsses, who rose and bowed as he
passed through to collect the fare. They
all insisted on paying twice as much as
was demanded, telling him to give half to
the company and keep the rest for him-
self. Stopped a few minutes at,Jolly
Town, Glecvillc and Velvet Junction,
making connection with the Grand Trunk
and Panhandle route for Paradise. But
when the train halted there was no jolt,
and when it started there was no

jerk. The track. was always clear,
no freight train . in the way, no
snow bank to be shoveled—train

always on time. Banks of roses on either
side, bridges with piers of bronze, and
flagmeu clad in cloth of gold. The train
went 300 miles the hour, but without any
risk, for all the passengers were insured
against accident in ii. company that was
willing to pay four times the price of
what any neck was worth. The steam
whistle breathed as sweetly as any church
choir chanting its opening piece. Nobody
asked the conductor to see his time table,
for the only dread any passenger had was
flint of coming to the end of his journey.

As night- came on, the self adjusting
couches spread themselves on either side;
patent booijacks rolled up and took your
boots ofl‘;' unseen fingers tucked the
(laiiirisk covers all about you, and the
porter took your pocketbook to keep till
morning, returning it then with twice
what you had in it at nightfall. After‘a
while the train slackens to 175 miles an
hour, and the conductor, in his dream, nu-
Iiouiices that they are coming near the
terminus. More brakes are dropped and
they are running but ninety miles an hour;
and some one, looking out of the window,
says, “How slow we go!” “Yes,” says
the conductor, “we are holding up.”
Now they have almost stopped, going at
only seventy miles the hour. The long
line of depot lamps are flashing along the
track. On the platform of the station are
the lovers who are waiting for their be-
trothed, and parents who have come down
to greet their children, returned with
a fortune, and wives who have not
been ,able to eat or drink since their
spouse went away three weeks before. As
the cushioned train flashes into the depot

* and stops, wedding bells pea], and the

gen g of many banquets sounds, and white
arms flung about necks, reckless of mis-
take, and innumerable percussions of at-
fection echo tnrough the depot, so crisp
and loud that they wake the conductor,
who thought that the boisterous smack
was on his own cheek, but finds that he
is nothing but a bachelor railroad man,
with a lantern, at midnight getting out
into a snow bank.

A FAMOUS OLD PRISON.

~ CRAWFORD’S PEN PICTURES OF .THE

INTERIOR 0F NEWGATE.

England's Once Noted Prison Now Merely
at House of Detention — Ventilation,
Light and Dryness—Colls, Chapel, Exe-
cution Shed and \Vhipping Post.

Newgate is the most notorious prison in
England. Its history is connected with the
story of the crimes of this kingdom for the
last 800 years. The present prison, was built
toward the close of the last century, but it is
upon the site of the original prison where a
Newgate has stood since 1070. Newgote has
held in its long history every kind of victim
of the law. It is at the end of the Old Bailey,
very near Smithfield, where the martyrs to
fanaticism were publicly burned.

The exterior of Newgate resembles an old
fashioned fortress. Its walls are of a rough
gray stone. They have become nearly black
by exposure to the sooty atmosphere of Lon-
don. There are but few windows in the out-
side walls. The muin buildings of the prison
are in an 'interior court not visible to the
public. The principal entrance is most for-
bidding. '-The. lower half of the door is a
locked and barred square of wood surmounted
by sharp iron spikes. Just above this is a
network of iron. Over the door hung chains
and balls, symbols of the old Newgate.
There isa blackened board at the right of
this door upon which is now placed the offi-
cial recordof an execution when it takes
place within this prison.

Newgate has been the scene of every form
of execution. The breaking on the wheel,
the drawing and quartering, and every kind
of old fashioned torture has been tested 'to
the full extremity of barbarous law within
these blackened walls. Today Navigate is
used as a prison of detention for criminals
who are to be tried at the Old Bailey. If
they are sentenced to death they are kept at
Newgate and executed there. If they are
sentenced to penal servitude they are trans-
ferred elsewhere.

The other day, through permission from
the home secretary, I visited Newgate. [I was
turned overto one of the chief warders, a
man who has been in Newgate for thirty
years, and who has assisted at thirty-five ex-
ecut-ions. He was tall, broad shouldered,
with regular features and a full, long brown
beard and flowing mustache. He looked as
dignified as a colonel in the Horse Guards.
He spoke good English, without the slightest
Cockney accent, and did not drop one of his
h’s, which is more than can be said for the
attendants at Windsor castle.

Common report describes Newgate as
damp, unwholesome and badly lighted. This
is incorrect. It is a model prison so far as
ventilation, light and dryness are concerned.
The cells are large and high. They are
heated by hot water pipes, and are as com-
fortable as a prison should be. Prisoners in
Newgate who conduct themselves well are
entitledto an hour’s daily exercise in the
court yard. Refractory prisoners who refuse
to submit to ordinary punishments are given
twenty-four hours in the dark cell, witha
diet of bread and water. The warder showed
me one of these dark cells, and kindly closed
me in it for a moment to give me an idea of
this kind of punishment. ‘ The cell was so
closed out from the light that I could not see
my hand directly in front of my eyes. The
warder said that this form of punishment
was not at all appreciated by prisoners who
had never undergone it. He never saw a
prisoner who dreaded this punishment for the
first time, and in the history of Newgate
punishment no prisoner, however bad, had
ever placed himself in a position to receive
this punishment asecond time. Twenty-four
hours albne in absolute silence and darkness
breaks and cows the most stubborn spirit,
and if continued much beyond this limit
would inevitably lead to madness.

The cell of the condemned prisoner is near
the dark cells. It is a large room, double the
ordinary size. It contains a plank bed, upon
which a light mattress is laid. There are
two or three religious inscriptions upon the.
wall. A table, a. stool for the prisoner, and
two for the warders, who are always with
him day and night from the time he is con-
demned, compose the furniture. Execution
follows a sentence very swiftly in Englaivl.
The utmost period of delay does not go be-
yond a month, and often execution takes
place within ten days after asentence. There
is no appeal to any one except the home sec—
retary. He alone has the power to stay the
execution or to commute a sentence. It is
very rare that he interferes. The odds are
ninety-nine to one that a. man sentencedto
death in England will be executed.

From the call I walked with the warder to
the chapel of the prison upon the first floor.
This is a handsome, old fashioned chamber,
high, well lighted, and finished in dark
woods. In the center is a lofty pulpit. Upon
the left of this is a gallery box for visiting
justices. Around the room upon the right
and left are cages or subdivisions behind
strong iron bars, where convicts used to sit.
Those who are on trial sit in front of these
bars. There is an upper gallery arranged
with slats for female prisoners. These great
wooden slats are so turned that the women
can see only the preacher, and not one of the
prisoners. At the right of the pulpit is a lit-
tle black chair, the seat of honor in the
chapel. This is reserved exclusively for
prisoners under sentence of death. Formerly
there was a pew for this class.

After leaving the chapel I walked with the
warder around to the place of execution.
The prisoner marches from his cell through
the prison wing'into a narrow court and
around this court, not one moment’s walk,
to a. wooden shed made of unpainted pine,
which is built in a. corner of the court against
the prison walls. This shed has a cement
floor with a wooden trap in the centre. Over
that is a simple beam across, from which
hangs a rcpe. The only furniture in the
place is connected with the trap, whichis
worked bya black iron lever. There is a.
commission now experimenting in Newgate
as to the best methods of hanging, so as to
secure a breaking of the neck when the trap
drops. In one of the large rooms looking on
to the court where the execution shed is there
is kept the whipping post. Under the Eng
lish law any attempt to rob a person accom-
panied by personal violence constitutes the
technical offence of .“garroting.” This is
punished by from twenty-five to fifty lashes.
The men under sentence for garrotingare
seated upon the black box with their legs
fastened upon what was an old pillory post.
Their arms are fastened above their heads.
Then the lashing is well laid on until their
backs,are,completely cut to pieces. Tito
warder said that there was no object in giv-
ing more than twenty-five lashes. After
twenty-five lashes the men were numb and
felt no more pain. He said that it was a
most effectual form of punishment, and
reached a clam of street rufiianswho cared
nothing for imprisonment. London swarms
with this class of criminals, who are now
pretty thoroughly restrained by the whipping
post. There is no form of punishment so

-much dreaded by these men as the lash.

This room where the whipping post now is

was formerly used for prisoners when they

were kept together in numbers instead of

being given separate cells. People im-
‘risoned for debt used to be kc t he: e.—T. C

INCREASE YOUR PENSION.

Many pensioners borne on the rolls are entitled
to a much higher rate of pension than they now
receive. In a great majority of cases in which
pension was granted for disease, the pensioner is
entitled to an increase of rate. and in most cases
where it was granted for wounds or injuries the
disability increases each year. As time passes the
disability of all classes naturally increases. Many
were at first rated too low, and it often occurs
that pensioners are unjustly or erroneously re-
duced by examining surgeons. A pensioner is
entitled to increase on a disability not set forth in
his original declaration. The pension laws are
more liberal than formerly, and better rating can
be had for many disabilities. I make a specialty
of Neglected and Rejected Claims. and if you Will
