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 Gautier. 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 “Listener.” 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 linen, which is not linen at all, but a French cotton that can be bought for twelve ,cents a yard, and is accessible only to great manu- factiu‘ers. It takes a high polish when laun- dried, and cannot be detected. Of course, it doesn’t wear. But no manufacturer produc- ing shirts in his factory in the regular way can afford to make and sell shirts for that price—New York Evening Sun. 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. -—Seientific American. ;. 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.

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. Application: Get an easy position when you sleep, it you have any choice between angels and gorgons. At midnight, seiz- ing a chair, I ran into the next room, re- solving to kill, at the first stroke, the rufllaii'who was murdering a member of my household. But there was no rufiian. The sweet girl had, during the day, been reading of St. Bartholomew’s massacre, and was now lying on her back, dream- ing it. all over again. When dreams find any one lying flat on the back, they cry out: “Here is a flat surface on which to skate and play ball,” and from scalp to toe they sport themselves. The hardest nag in all the world to ride is the nightmare. Many think that sleep is lost time. But the style of your work will be mightily affected by the style of your slumber.

Adam was the only man who ever lost a rib by napping too soundly; but when he woke up, he found that, instead of the twelve ribs with which he started, he really had nigh two dozen.

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.

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 present me with a brief statement of your case, stating by whom it was presented, I will obtain a rehearing of your case, and. if it has merit. will procure a. favorable settlement Many claims stand rejected before the department, when it only requires a competent attorney to. make them good cases.
