and yonng masters, but no boys.
Years ago, when America could boast

the country. Y Rugged lively, nnbi-
tious boys. They played horse, rode
down bin, kissed the girls, broke colts,
traded jack krivcs and were we'll

apples. took care of cattle, did chores
for their board while going to school,
cut cord wood, trimmed applctrecs,
plowed corn and worked their way to
manhood. Nt aaf aat4
They knew how to sharpen fence
posts, shear sheep, milk COWS, kill
hogs, clear lands, cultivate farms and
work their way TO honorable manhood.
When they became men they did not
fade like sixpenny curtain calico, but

From Justin McCarthy's Letter to the New

From Justin McCartbys Letter to the New York
Mail.
The Queen has gone to-day to pay a
visit to the Emperor Napoleon at CHS
elhurst. Meanwhile a distinguished
connection of his Imperial Majesty has
opened a dressmakers' shop in New
Bond street, London. The Princess
Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte announces
Ito the nobility and gentry of Eng
land that she has started an establish
ment tor superior and djstiRgue
dressmaking, that she has "tbe latest
fashions and novelties from Paris, 'and
that Ian early inspection is invited. p
This lady is the wife of that Corsican
| Maupfat whose murder of The Young
French journalist preluded the fall of
the Empire as that of the Duchesse de
Praslin did the fall of Louis Philippe
monarchy. Pierre could not obtain per-
mission from the Hmperor~to marry
the lady, SO he married her without
permission. remember the CORE
spondence which took place between
| the two illustrious cousins on the sub
ject, and which was found III the Tuil-
!eries after the crash of Sedan Pierre
| begged TO be allowed to marry the lady
of his choice, because-f desire to put
1t very modestly-because, although he
stated with touching simplicity he had
| not originally contemplated a matri-
moDial bond, yet he was now anxious
to make his children legitimate The
Emperor would not hear of such q
thing When man has the honor
of bearing such name as yours" he
writes, there are proprieties which
one is bound to respect" Pierre
returns to the charge. He urges
that the lady Is tf b1ameless conduct,
although of humble birth and then.
unluckily losing his temper, be re-
marks that if the Emperor did talk of
mesoliiunccs there are other pcSotii-
uRces in the family which are good
deal less respectable. This allusion, |
presume, must have settled the matter.
The Emperor fatty refused his consent
and closed the correspondence. So

she is firm and fast his wife. don't
know whether the name and the title
will draw much custom to the dress
making establishment in New Bond
street.
There are probably a good many
ladies in London to whom the chance
of having their dresses cut ont and tried
on by any sort of princess whatever,
would be powerful temptation. Per
haps the Imperial exiles may buy off
the irrepressible cousin, and close up
the shop for the sake of the family.
Perhaps the announcement is only
made with this hope Anyhow, [ do
not suppose the patronage of the En-
press Eugene Will be given to the new

they can succeed in catching snail by
the horns and throwing him also over
the shoulder after the May dew, this is
accounted to be most favorable omen.
If the same snail be placed upon slate
as it crawls around it is supposed so in
dictate the initials of the future hus-
bands name.
The month of May was formerly ush-
cred in by the Scotch by curious
ceremony called the Beltane." This
was a time of great mirth, and there
still exists an annual fair known as the
Beltane Fair.
A town in Perthshire is called ssTille
Belteln, i. e.. the eminence of the fire
of Baal. Near this spot are two Druid
ical temples of stone, with a well close
by, which still retains an odor of sane
tity among the superstitious. Upon
Belteln Bay they gather here make
fire, and prepare custard of milk
and eggs. They also knead cake of
oat meal, which is baked upon heated
stone, and after the custard is eaten
the cake is divided into as many pieces
as there are persons present, ore of the
pieces being blackened with charcoal
The bits. of cake being then put into a
bonnet, the company are blindfolded,
and the person who draws the blacken-
ed piece of cake is considered as de.
voted to be sacrificed to Boal, and is
obliged to leap through the flame three
times.
In Ireland the ceremony of Beltem is
performed on the Dist of June There
the fires are made upon hill top, and
every member of a family passes
through the fire to ensure good fortune
for the ensuing year.
This resembles the ancient rite to
the Palilia among the Romans, and if
seemed strange that such vestige of
heathenism should have come down to
the nineteenth century. The month
of May way once esteemed as especial
ly favorable to the curing of diseases,
IN those days when monarch was re-
garded with so much reverence by his
people that the simple touch of his roy
al hands was considered to be cure
for all ills.
Charles III. issued a proclamation
that he would heal the afflicted In the
month of May, and at the stipulated
time, great numbers hocked to the city
of London for that purpose.
It is an unfortunate fact that modern
sovereigns seem better reared in the
art of creating evils than dispeiling
them.
But as bigotness and narrow minded
ness have given place to more liberal
belief, the old superstitions clustering
around the month of May have faded
away like mists before the sun.
Men pass continually away-but still
the seasons come and 60, the face of
the earth is forever changing, and yet
forever returning to that from which it
is changed.
And thus, though the dark storms of
Winter Cypress us, we know that Ma
lures laws are immutable-that the
skies will clear, the sun shone bright
again, and the flowers bloom once
more-and SO there is a consolation for
every sorrow

A Mule DeYOurinS Sheep.
The Versailles Mo Gazette says

The Versailles (Mo. Gazette says:
Mr. Fred. Jones, residing some eight
miles southeast of this place, Is the
owner of thrifty, four year-old mule.
One of his neighbors, it appears, has
been gradually missing his sheep, and
supposed that the dogs or wolves were
devouripg them; not in the least
placing suspicion on the mule, 1T, as a
matter of course, was not watched.
This work went on until one day last
week the children were returning from
school and beheld the mule; he was
engaged in making meal on sheep and
grass alternately-that is, a bite of
% mutton" and then a nip of grass.
Our informant states that on hearing
the sheep bleat, this mule will leave its
kindred and go in search of its prey.
This, of course, will be denied by a
great many as being reliable; but our
Informant further states that the mule
has been watched by it's owner and 9TH
ers, and find facts as above stated.
This queer" member Of the animal
kingdom has been placed in lot in
order to prevent it's further destruction

A STRANGE MURDER.

of the New York Herald.

Remove HIS Dfiu w lie
Correspondence of the New York Herald.
RICHMOND, Va, May S.-The intelli
gence of the murder of Sam Hite by
Daniel Davis, at Lockleyen township,
Lunenburg county, yesterday, has
created o,:ite sensation here, owing
to the antecedents of the victim, and
the murderer, and of the circumstances
that preceded and attended the tragedy.
Especially has the latter become noto-
rious On account of the profanity of his
utterances and the avowed irregularlty
of his life, he being one of those pecu-
liar individuals who treat women after
the fashion of the Turks and Arabs, and
believe the marriage ceremony bore
and a nuisance.
There lived on Davis place negro
woman, unmarried, who had number
of children. This woman's sister mar
ried the negro Hlte, shortly after which
the woman herself died, the expenses
of her funeral being betrayed by Davis.
1t would seem, however, that he ex-
pected to make good this outlay tOm
the effects which the dead woman left
Hite claimed them on account of his
wife, and being refused permission to
remove them, placed them III a cart at
night and was making off with them.
Davis followed, and, overtaking the
man IN the road, demanded their re-
turn. The negro refused to carry them
back or surrender them, and, it Is said,
cursed Davis, who struck him on the
head with his stick. The negro, in re-
taliation, struck Davis with heavy
piece of single tree On the arm, after
which the latter drew his pistol and
shot Hite dead, four balls
taking effect on his person.
Davis was arrested, but for some
reason was soon discharged. Appre-
hensive that trouble was to come of the
matter, he at once commenced prepare
tons to escape from the country. He
concealed himself near his house when
party of white citizens came to arrest
him. Seeing from MS concealmeDt
some of the men who had formerly ar
rested and afterward released him, he
felt easier, and when they had gone he
ventured out. Another party was, how
ever, close behind, and soon command
ed him to halt and give himself up. He
refused to surrender, when man
named Black fired on HIM, inficting
tive serious wounds, one III the hip aud
another in the arm. He was then Sc
cured, and has been closely guarded
ever since.
The affair has excited great interest
in the county, and the examination be-
fore the magistrate is looked forward
to with a great deal of interest, more
particularly because the white man is
the delinquent. Justice Will, however,
be certainly melted out.

IT is astonishing how patient some
towns are under affllction-the town OF
Warren, Ohio, for instance. 1t was
almost totally burned in 1916. 1t had
another serious fire in 1919. 1t suffered
from like cause in 1854, when it lost
half of one its most important streets.
In 1860 it had a noble great fire, which
cost from $500, 600 to $500, 600. Since
that time it has had various minor
burnings; and, if there had been any
wind on the morning of the 3D. inst,
great would have been the loss-S4OO,
600 instead of $4,000. The best of il
is that the town has fine steam fire

NV soul to-day is far away
Sailing the Vesuvian Bay;
NV winged boat like bird ahoat,
Swims round the purple peaks remote:
Round purple peaks it sails, and seeks
Blue iniets and their crystal creeks,
Where high rocks throw, through deeps peAo"'
duplicated golden glow.
Far vague and dim the mountains SWIM
While on Vesuvius' misty brim,
With outstretched hands, the gray smoke stanus
O'erlooking the volcanic lands.
Here Ischia smiles DER liquid miles;
And wonder, bluest of the isles,
Calm Capri waits, her sapphire gates
Beguiled to her bright estate
heed not if my ripping skin
Float swift or slow from cliff to Gin;
With dreamful eyes my spirit hes
Under the walls of Paradise.
Under the walls where swells and falls
The BAYS deep breast at intervals
At peace lie, blown softly 10y
cloud upon this liquid sky.
The dav. SO mild. is Heavens own child,
With Earth and Ocean reconcled :
The airs around me steal
Are murrluring to the murmuring keel
Over the rail my hand trail
Within the shadow of the sail.
A Joy intense, the cooling sense
Glides down my drowsy Incidence.
Her children, hid the cliffs amid,
Are gamboling with the gamboling kid;
Or down the walls, with tipsy calls,
Laugh on the rocks like waterfalls.
The fishers child, with tresses wild,
Unto the smooth, bright sand beguiled,
With glowing lips sings as she shlps,
Or gazes at the far-off ships.
Yon deep bark goes where Traffic blows,
From lands of sun to lands of SHOWS -
This happier one, its course Is run
From lands of snow to lands OF SUM-
O happy ship to rise and dip,
With the blue crystal at your lip
o happy crew, my heart with you
Sails and sails, and sings anew.
No more no more the worldly shore
Upbr aids with its load uproar,
With dreamful eyes my spirit lies
Under the walls of Paradise.
