A Bachelors Paradise.

There is only one Territory Of any
size, and never has been but one, oc-
cupied by any considerable popula-
ton, from which woman is absolutely
excluded. Yet such a place exists to-
day, and has existed for centuries.
AS far back as history reaches, to ali
females it has been forbidden ground.
This bachelors Arcadia is situated on
a bold plateau between the old PEN
insula of Acte, in the Grecian Archi-
pelago, and the mainland. Here, IN
the midst of cultivated fields and ex-
tensive woodlands dwell a monastic
confederation of Greek Christians
with twenty-three converts, and
numbering more than seven thousand
souls, and not one OF the monastsries
dates from later time than the
twelfth century. A few soldiers
guard the borders of this anti-female
lands and no woman Is allowed t.
cross the frontier. Nor is this all:
the rule is extended to every female
creature, and from time immemoriaI
no COW, mare, hen, duck OF goose has
been permitted to make acquaintanc0
with hill or valley of Mount Athog
Territory. A traveller was startled bV
the abrupt question: {" What sort OF
human creatures are women ?n The
very idea of woman, whether as mo-
ther, wife or sister, is almost lost. To
all WOman-hateFs; to bachelors of
over forty years standing; to all men
who seek refuge from the wtIes and
ways of the opposite sex, this region
can be safely recommended as ha-
ven of refuge.

BRUTALLY CLUBBED BY A POLICEMAN,
Which Sergeant Of tho Twenty-first is
ResuOnsihle for This9

A disturbance took place on Thursday afternoon
In East Thrtysecond street. between three brothers
named O'Connor and some other parties. ohicer
McInnerny, OF the Twenty first precinct, heard OF
the AFFAIR and came running up. without waiting
to inquire much into the merits OF the trouble, as
to who was in the fault who was not, he at
tempted to arrest one Of the O'Connor Drothers;
the others interfered when the officer beat one OF
them on the head and body so ferociously that he
had to be taken to the station house. When he got
there he was almost unconscious, yet he was
not sent to the hospital, but detained
at the station house all night and lay stretcher
in the ofcers room, being In too dangerous q con-
ditiOn to be placed In cell. Yesterday morning
he was taken to the YOrkville Police Court, where
he gave his name as jeremiah O'Connor. His con-
dition was shocking as he was brought forth from
the prisoners box, and Alderman Plunkitt, who
was on the bench, thinking he was about TO faint,
told him to sit down. He had not the appearance
OF a rowdy, but ON the contrary was rather an In
offensive, middle,aged looking man The Alderman
condemned the clubbing OF the man, to that extent
at least, and discharged him without demanding
word OF explanation. Is said that charges are to
be preferred against the Oflcer before the Commits
gi0ners OF Police.

murdered his wife. The constable went In search
OF h!A, and found him sitting on Newbaum's stOOp'
Just after taking q drink. When the Deputy Sheriff
arrested him he asked for his authority, and he
showed him his badge, telling him that he suspected
him Of having murdered his wife. He at nrst re-
fused to 60 with the officer, but seeing that the
people were excited and threatened to lynch him
he went peaceaby. He denied having beaten his
wife, but aouaittad that he pulled her by the arm
from his house to the street, sOout hundred
yards.
Yesterday Coroner Watts began the inquest on

foreman Of the jury.
Mrs. Sarah Evils was the first witness; she saw
Kerrgan go on his own steOp, take his wife by the
hair, and drag her about one hundred and fifty
yards into q grass field; he then jumped on the
body several times and struck her In the face; he

Coroner Watts committed Kerrigan to await the
