Murderer Shot While on Trial.

On the 2lst of June a noted horse
thief by the name of James Douglas
was traced to small body of timber in
the vicinity of Thayer, Kansas, and sur.
rounded by the Sheriff and score of
men or more. He made u desperate
resistance, and fired on the party, and
succeeded in MORALLY wounding Sheriff
Rose, who died inside of twenty-four
hours, before he was captured.
On Friday, the 2Sth inst, Douglas
was i. the courtroom undergoing trial,
and Mr.. Ross, brother Of the murdered
man, who had but just arrived on the
cars, came into the courtroom, and
presenting a pistol in the rear Of the
thief's head, blew his brains out, the
ball from the revolver passing through
his head from behind the ear out near
the temple on the opposite side. A
profound sensation was created in the
courtroom at this sudden interruption,
but public sentiment soon sided with
Mr.. Ross, and the matter in all proba.
bility will rest there.-Kaxsas CITY

In Peru the longest ears are consid-
cred the handsomest, and as q great
mark of beauty in females. Some peo.
ple stain their teeth black and some
red, and in Ba que the women do not
consider themselves fit to be brides un-
til they have shaved their heads close
to the skin.
The Mexican women rejoice in low
foreheads and very thick heads Of hair,
the blacker the better, and the coarser
it is the higher the appreciation, while
the Italians venerate red, golden and
light hair. The Spaniards fancy slight,
slender figures in their women the
Italians, on the contrary, are fond of full
developments of limb and figure. The
Orientals and Westerns are also at com.
plete antipodes as to the manner in
which they interpret beauty and what
relates to it. The Eastern women use
yellow cosmetics, while the French and
English dread that tinge in their com.
plexion. The Asiatic, whether Of China
or Siam, is delighted with the olive skin
and high cheek bones of the Mongo-
liam women.-Halrs Journal of Health.

A Highly Educated and Talented
Family or Felines.

Ayoung lady friend OF ours, who is
not an old maid nor will ever be, pro-
vided our feelings are-well-respected,
has three educated cats, whose trained
instincts render them interesting
animals. One Of those cats will, when
she hears the door.bell ring, run to the
room of the lady, and in dulge in vari-
Gus gymnastics, such as archng it's back
and turning somersaults, apparently
expressing knowledge OF the enjoy
ment she must feel upon receiving a
CALL" Upon one occasion the young lady
went out driving, when the cat followed
the buggy as far as the outskirts OF the
city, when il was invited to and given
a seat in the vehicle. One of the other
cats, a William Warden, awakes his
mistress at a certain hour-before 10
o'clock-every morning, and itis danger
Gus for servant or any member OF the
family to enter the room before his
time. When a lady calls and William
sees her, be Immediately goes in search
of his mistress, bounding up stairs and
through every room till he finds her,
when he seizes her with his teeth.
Should a gentleman call. this cat finds
his mistr and makes such known by
mewing only. The third cat, which is
much younger than the rest, takes great
interest in music and goes into various
antics when ANY one plays on the piano.
When there is vocal music this cat will
prance about the floor, and occasional
" joins the chorus. Being rather hyp.
ochondriac, this cat likes mourniul
music, the sad strains Of which usually
cause the an imal to crouch to the floor
where it remains as if in deep sympathy
with the melody. The principal ano
certainly the most useful, If not beauti
full, habit Of these cats is catching mice
and chasing rats. Their owner resides
on North Summer street, and it is sale
the cats came from Spain.

Germany,s War Speculation.

The war expenses of the German
Empire, in its recent "raid" into
France, were $277 100000, while its
cash indemnity from France amounts
to $l,244, 900, or, including tax-pay.
ing value Of Alsace and Lorraine, to
81 ,44O,OOO,O This leaves a net cash
profit to Germany on the war of 81 1872.
100000, or nearly five millions of dollars
a day for every day of the war. The
utmost that had ever before been done
was to make war pay its expenses out
Of the enemy. But since the incursions
of the hardy and vigorous Cloths and
Vandals into decrepit and demoralized
Rome, there has been no such mag
nificent return even from wars Of con-
quest. The Franco.German war being
a war of self. defense on the part of
Germany, and of aggression on that of
France, the net result is all the more
astounding.

Jesuitism In Germany.

A Roman Catholic Professor OF the
University of Prague has written book
giving some interesting statistics about
the membership of religious orders in
Germany. He makes it tolerably OBJ
vious that the great Protestant Empire
is, in many parts, as much priest-ridden
as Spain or Italy. In Prussia, the Pro-
fessor's figures show that there is
one priest or member of a religious fra.
ternity for every 5S4 Catholics of all
ages in Bavaria, the proportion is one
for every 300, and for all Germany, one
for every 48l. Coming down 10 partic.
ular towns, the relative numbers Of
Catholic ecclesiastics and laymen are
still more surprising. Taking the adult
Catholic population Of Cologne, it seems
that out Of every los, there is one cler.
gyman. In Aix-la Csapelle there is one
ecclesiastic to every thirty EIGHT adult
Catholics; in Munster one to twenty,
and in Treves one to every ten! Such
data help US to understand how huge a
task has been undertaken by Prince
Bismarck in his struggle against Ultra.

An unauthentic story is that the
sheep in Colorado have long wool, in
which dust accumulates during sum-
mer. Then when the grass has gone to
seed the wind carries the seed into the
meshes of the fleece. In winter the
rain falls, the dust is turned to mud, in
which grass grows, and then thousands
of sheep may be seen travelling about
in verdure clad, and with their pastures
on their backs.

A New Haven dispatch says: John
Robinson's circus met with AN almost
irretrievable disaster on the New York
and New Haven railroad early this
morning The cages containing the
wild beasts, the tents, and all the para.
phernalia had been shipped IRON
Bridge port on a freight train to this
city.
As the train was passing under road.
way bridge, two miles west of the city,
the bridge fell. The falling timbers
first struck the platform cars, on which
were the cages. Twelve OF the latter
were smashed, and six Of the largest
were swept off in an instant, strewing
the track for several hundred feet with
their broken fragments.
The Gagged brutes thus suddenly freed
from their imprisonment broke loose in
every direction. The monkeys were
the first out, followed quickly by two
young lions and wildcat. A valuable
tiger, three striped kangaroos, and sew.
eral OF the animals were crushed and
instantly killed. Most of the eagles,
Of which there was a valuable collec
lion. flew away, as did also several Of
the smaller birds.
The train was promptly stopped, and
it was ascertained that four of the driv.
ers had sustained severe injuries. G..
N. Robinson, treasurer Of the company,
had narrow escape. He was asleep
in the ticket wagon, which was smashed
into splinters, scattering the money in
every direction, but he escaped without
- In 10
estimated at $4,000.
The rear car and its inmates escaped
uninjured. The spectacle at the instant
of the overturning Of the cages was
at once ludicrous and alarming. The
monkeys chattering and screaming
scampered up the sides of the broken
bridge, and seemed to enjoy the fun
The tigers, Blondin and Dick, after
tapping up the blood of several of their
less fortunate companions, sprang across
the ditch and disappeared. The bear,
crippled, limped off up the track, scar.
ing the engineer and fireman nearly
out of their wits. The conductor,
chased by a hyena, saved his life by
climbing telegraph pole at critical
moment.
The wolves dined off the smaller
members of the happy family, and then
disappeared in the same direction as
the tigers, and, it is feared, after more
prey. One of the large rattlesnakes
was cut in two, but his companions, a
dangerous boa constructor and two
smaller snakes, were last seen shooting
off in the grass toward the city.
AS it is known that several of the
most dangerous and blood-thirsty mem.
bers of the menagerie are loose, the
utmost CONSERVATION reigns here.
