The Cadi's Decision.

A poor Turkish slater, 81 CONSTANT
nople, being at work upon the roof OF
a house, lost his footing and fell into
the narrow street upon man who
chanCed to be passing at the time. The
pedestrian was killed by the conclusion,
while the slater escaped without ma
terial injury.
The son of the deceased caused the
slater to be arrested and taken before
the Cadi, where he made the most grave
charge, and claimed ample redress.
The Cadi listened attentively, and in
the end asked the slater what he had
to say ia his defence.
Dispenser of justice" answered
the accused, in humble mood, cit is
even as this man says; but God forbid
that there should be evil III my heart.
[ am a poor man, and know not how l
can make amends"
The son of the man who had been
killed thereupon demanded that con-
dign punishment should be inflicted
upon the accused.
The Cad1 meditated few moments,
and finally said:
ct shall be SO.
Then to the slater he continued
'sThou shalt stand in the street
where the father of this man stood when
thou didst fall upon him"
Then to the accuser he added:
land thou shalt, if it please thee, go
upon the roof, and fall upon the cul-
prit, even as he did upon thy father.
Allah is great

Broad and Narrow Gauges.

The Erie Railway has adopted an in
genious device to overcome to disad-
vantages OF the broad gauge, so far as
through passenger traffic is concerned.
The heavy drawing room cars and Sleep
ing cars Will be run upon turn-table,
on arriving at Niagara Falls-to which
place they can now go over the ext en-
sion from Buffalo: in building which the
Gould management got the better of
Mr.. Vanderbilt-where the cars, with
their inmates undisturbed, will be
raised from the trucks, turned around
a quarter circle, lowered again upon
narrow-gauge trucks, and rolled off up
on another track, all ready to take their
places in train as narrow gauge cars
and proceed to Chicago. This inge-
NOUS arrangement, which will employ
the hydraulic press as motor, will
require but two or three minutes, and
will be commenced as soon as the
spring timetable takes effect.

The New Oil Discoveries near 1itusville.

The Titusville Herald of yesterday
makes the following alluslon to the re-
cent discoveries of oil near that city:
'There is every indication of a great
rush of operators to the new oil field,
developed the other day, two miles
south from Titusville, and already ex
tensive preparations are on foot for
drilling a large number Of wells at the
earliest possible day. Shrewd calcu-
lators some time ago pointed out this
district as one which would yield pro-
life amount of oil, and most of the
surrounding territory has been bought
up for that purpose. The line of the
new Buffalo road northeast, and also
between this city and Tidioute, is an
other field in which most men acqualnt-
ed With the business of developing,
have the utmost confidence. and there
is every probability of that section
being tested at an early day. The
southwest producing fields at Parkers
have the disadvantage of being very
expensive to operate, the wells aver
aging, only fraction over four
barrels psr day: The cost of
sinking these wells Is fr6fa one-third to
one half more than is the case with
those in the upper districts, and they
are shorter lived. When large wells
are struck, they rapidly dwindle down
to diminutiTe proportions, and mere
fraction of them are Known to have
paid their first cost. With us, how
ever. the wells are more lasting, less
expensive in their first cost, aud average
much larger in their yield. The chances
Of tkakihg big strikes are also two to
one in favor dt tie northeast and inter
mediate districts. For these reasons,
the future preference will be given to
localities in this vicinity The Buffalo
road will also be a great stimulant ia
votable to opening up these fields, as
it will make iivihs cheaper, and enable
operators to reside with their families
in the metropolis of the region. It
will save heavy hauling of engines and
machinery over rough roads, and bring
coal, lumber aud provisions to the wells
much cheaper than is the case at pres
ent. The prospects of Titusville were
never brighter

Without the Mask.

Ar rtngal1aut editor of the San Fran
cisco Chronicla gives the following:
Looking over magallns which we
had Just borrowed from a young lad =
remarkable for good looks and the
power to make them tell, few sheets
of note paper dropped, but containing
sotae closely written lines. Impelled
by a hleafi spirit of curiosity, we read
them. They were literally "leaves
from diary" Here are a fen estraets:
MOnduy-Awful headache. Wonder
if Helen calls to-day. Know she is
dying to find out how my green silk
dyes. She has called and kissed me
twice. Tried to learn if Shanks visited
often. When [ sang the malicious
thing said: "Do, dear Emily, wrap up
when you go In the street this weather.
Your voice is losing it's clearness, dar-
ling" Wish she was dead.
Iuesddy-Gibbon called. Spooned
about dance we had at the calico ball
l looked down and twiste my elbow
It always makes me blush, that twist
They say he's rich, but was born fool
So much better for the woman that gets
him. Hope she'll make him cut his
nails. Sang Glove Not . for him, and
he grinned as sentimentally as bulbs
setter when tantalize him with line
He asked me to see Under the Gas
light . with him. l put him off, and
will go if Blinks does not ask me.
Squeezed my hand at the door. What
a Muggins!
Wednesddy-Old Mrs. Satchel
wanted me to go on charity trip with
her, and carry cold meat and crust
basket. Says she heard of my exer-
tons at the calico ball, and wants me
now to visit shirt maker down with
fever. The old fool can't see the dis
tinction between an affair like the past
event and poking about in nasty gar.
ret Told her | had neuralgia. Knew
she'll tell everybody am such a
"sweet girl.
This concludes the diary, or at least
the portion of it that reached our
hands. 1t is only glimpse into ia,
miliar subject-the vagaries of the fe-
male mind.

A Song for the Times.

Let haru tlDlCS dsSdI us,
Let poverty nail us
Like mystical horse-shoes to every old wall;
Let deep tribulation
And fierce desolation
Spread over all lands like a funeral pail;
Though empty our purses,
Though creditors curse us,
And quarters are squeezed till the eagles all howl,
Let's have merry faces,
Aud smiles for all places,
Remembering It's better to grin than to growl
What though banks are breaking
And - big houses " quaking
Lest one day undo all they ever have done,
Ou1 crossness can t mend it,
our weeping won't end it.
Why not take the bright side and call 1t all fun!
Will torfeite pleasures
Or inbece measures
Bring back our lost conhdence-hft the dark cowl
No, no to-day's sorrow
Brings no brighter morrow;
When things viii go bad, let us grin and not growl
But let us keep thinking
That though we sinking,
We can't go much further, because it won pay;
The old saw not forgetting,
That's cured lots'of fretting,
20 The hour is the darkest just before day.
Though vacant our purses
Though creditors curse us,
Tho quarters are squeezed till the eagles all howl,
Let's Keep merry faces
And smiles for all places,
For surely It's letter to grin than to growl.

On His Guard.

DIR. Chaplin told this story the other
day to illustrate the opinion some men
have concerning the effect of religion
A pious old Kentucky deacon, Deacon
Shelby, was famous as shrewd horse
trader. One day farmer Jones went
over to Bourbon county, taking his
black boy Jim with him, to trade horses
with Brother Shelby. After a good
deal of dickering, they finally made the
trade, and Jim rode the new horse
home
Wasn't your master afraid the dea-
con would get the best of him in the
trade2'' asked some of the deacon's
neighbors, as Jim rode past.
ooh no!'' replied Jim, as his eyes
glistened with a new intelligence
Massa knowed how Deacon Shelby
