A STABBINs LOVER SENT TO THE PENI-
TENTIARY.-w illiam Anderson was placed on
tIial in the Kings county, N. Y, court of ses-
sions Monday. on the 18th of August he met
his betrothed, Annie Cunningham, near the
Grand street ferry, and pointing TO companion
who was with her, asked AnEie, care you
going TO keep company with her any more?',
Annie replied that the girl, Harriet Russell,
Lad never done her any harm, and she saw no
reason for quitting her company. Anderson
drew n pocket knife and stabbed Annie eight
times. Three of the wounds were serious. 1t
app, srs in the trial that Anderson and Miss
Cunningham still are engaged to be married,
and that they had been intimate friends from
childhood. As she was placed upon the stand
TO testify against her lover she refused at first
TO open her lips, and when given to understand
that she must tell all about the occurrence, she
said little as she possibly could, but the facts
were fully narrated by other witnesses. The
Judge Moore sentenced him to the penitentiary
for three years and SIN months. Anderson's
lips quivered and his eyes filled when lie heard
this sentence, and as he retired from the box
TO the cell adjoining the court room, Miss Gun
bingham threw her arms around his neck and
kissed him.

Fashion in Jewels.

Already turquoises so desired last win
ter, have dropped out of favor, and it is
not to be wondered at. Only the rage
for undecided tints could ever have
made them popular, and as that is wan
ing, the liking for them wanes also.
Their mixed green blue is becoming to
nobody, and their intrinsic worth not
being great, they will, doubtless, be
cast aside next season. Coral in all its
lovely shades is no longer the mode,
and charming sets at cost prices lam
guish unsold in their velvet cases.
Coral. though not a precious stone, is
one of the prettiest and most useful of
ornaments, since it can be appropriate
ly worn both on ordinary and full-dress
passing out of fashion, not so much be-
cause they are no longe: pretty, as be-
cause they have been so successfully
initiated in base metals, that people are
afraid of being suspected of wearing
French gilt. The handsome gold sets
are so expensive, that we think it better
and cheaper in the end to spend little
more money and buy set of coral, or
jewels which cannot be initiated, and of
which oneis not so likely to grow weary.
The setting of jewels this year is in
the lightest possible framework of gold
called, we believe, the blade
style-and distinctive figure is the
separating of the jewels from each
other so that the light may strike
through from every side. This is far
more beautiful and artistic than the old
form of clusters, and is destined to
high favor. The marquise, or long oval,
is the shape most in vogue for rings, as
well as pins, earrings and lockets, and
it is particularly becoming. Bracelets
are no longer mere golden shackles, but
are inch and half bands in all manner
of designs. Chain and link bracelets,
once the most admired, are not now
much worn.

A Conductor to be Trusted.

One day. before Cornelius Vanderbilt
obtained possession of the Hudson
River Railway, he was travelling, it is
said, from New York to Albany and
considering himself privileged charac-
ter, went into the baggage car to smoke.
He had been enjoying his cigar but two
or three minutes when the conductor
came along and informed him politely
that he must not smoke there. Van
derbilt said that it wouldn't make any
but the conductor was of q different
opinion-declaring that it was contrary
to the rules of the road.
"You don't know me" said the speak
er. "My name is Vanderbilt; T am
sometimes called Commodore. I gen.
orally do about as please"
81 don't know nor do care who you
are, Mr.. Vanderbilt. intend to obey
the rules. II you were ten times Com
modore l could not permit you to smoke
here, and you must go elsewhere to
finish your segar."
The loyalty to duty displayed by the
conductor pleased the ancient Cornelius,
and he went out, though not before he
said to the conductor:
"You are the right kind of man for
your place. You don't respect persons.
[ think of buying this road, and if do
you can stay on it as long as you like. "
Vanderbilt did buy the road and re-
tanned the conductor. He frequently
remarked that that man could be trust
ed that he was never mistaken in iudg-
ing of character, and that he knew from
the first that the conductor was sound.
The conductor stayed on the road for
five years, and in that time, as the story
goes, stole himself into pecuniary in
dependence. II. ...
So much for Vanderbilt's knowledge
of character. Evidently the conductor
knew Vanderbilt better than Vanderbilt
knew the conductor.

Leap for Liberty,

A Pennsylvania deputy sheriff, who
had prisoner in his charge in rail-
road car, the other day, left him for a
moment, and as soon as his back was
turned the prisoner deliberately jumped,
feet foremost, through the open window
of the car. He alightedin soft morass,
and was not hurt, for he Immediately
picked himself up and broke for the
woods at a gait quite rapid. The officer
noticed his sudden exit, and without a
moments hesitation jumped after him.
He brought up in the same morass, but
his efforts to recapture the fugitive were
somewhat impeded by the fact that he
pitched headlong into the mud and
stuck there. He SO struck that his arms
were imbedded nearly up to the shoul-
ders in the tenacious mire, and it was
therefore an impossibility for him to
bring his pistol into requisitlon. The
prisoner took advantage of this singu-
lar combination of circumstances in his
f~vor by making fresh squirt, and soon
disappeared in the distance. The train
was stopped, and the deputy sheriff was
fished out of the mud, but he declined
to enter upon further pursuit of the
prisoner, and continued on his home
ward route, the muddiest and maddest
man lately seen in the State.

A Brigand at Bay.
Death of the italian Chief scalise.

Death of the italian Chief scaIise.
For the last six years the brigand
Scalise has been the terror of Calabria
on account of the boldness and cruelty
with which he has carried out his plans
of murder and plupder. While Gabri-
ELI, a police official, was at Gagliano
about the 1st of July, he learned
through spies that the robber chief
was then at the house of one Maria
Rossilia, his mistress and accomplice,
in Giiurigliano, the principal village of
the district. The police officer took six
soldiers with him to the spot indicated,
and surrounded the abode of the bandit,
In order to make escape impossible,
the soldiers and gendsrmes of the vii
lage were also called out and distribu-
ted around the house.
Scalise appeared at the window and
opened fire on his pursuers, who re-
sponded with two shots which struck
him in the head. He sprang back and
ran over the roof of the house to that
of neighbor, village official, in the
garret of which he intrenched himself.
While the captain of the gendarmes
directed the outside operations, four
men forced their way into the house.
Two of these-bersaglieri or rihemen-
stormed the room which served the
brigand as fertilization, but they fell
dead, pierced through by balls from
Scaliso's revolver. A third man was
wounded. None of the besiegers would
now venture in the house, and it was
determined to set it on fire. This was
done, and the brigand, seeing escape
cut off, surrendered. They started for
Catrnzaro, but as he attempted to
escape while on the road, his guards
were obliged to fire on him, and he was
brought in corpse. A broad scar on
his body showed where he had been
wounded in former fight between the
royal troops and eleven robbers under
his command. He had been cured of
this wound at the open hospital at
Giuriglano. He was only thirty years
old. He had handsome figure and
manly features, which bespoke unusual
courage and energy of will. Desire for
revenge, which has dyed the plains of Cal
abria with blood as often as it has those
of Corsica, first impelled him to choose
the forest as his home. His father, q
gloomy and defiant old man, had en-
couraged him to do SO, and the memory
of his brother, who, as bandit, had
fallen in a fight, acted rs an additional
incentive.
"Even the bloodiest stories" says
the GiOrnate CdLabrese, "take here a
romantic coloring. One should look at
the bandits jacket and notice how law
ishly it is adorned with silver embroid-
cry on velvet and with four rows of
silver pieces for buttons. Then. too,
Maria Rossilla is a very charming ap-
partition. She has been taken with her
mother and sister to the prison at Cat
anzaro. All efforts to root out brigand-
age in Calabria will be in vain while
there still exists the wide difference be-
tween the miserable and oppressed con-
dition of the hard working country peo-
pie and the brilliant and luxurious life
of the bandit. around which the glow
ing imagination of the people throws a
halo of power and glory" '.'

An Illinois Stock Farmer,

Here in Vermillion county a single
individual owns and manages 1000 acres,
while other farms of still greater magni-
tude may be found in adjoining coun-
ties. Mr.. John Sidell, of the township
bearing his name, has domain of 1000
acres. The tract is six miles long, and
varies from one to two miles in width.
Running through its entire lengthi is the
Little Vermillion River, skirted for two
miles with beautiful groves and clusters
of thickets. Three thousand acres are
i'll meadow, and as much more in blue
grass pasture, and the remaining 1000
is devoted to corn. Roaming over the
great pasture are 1900 cattle, 1000 of
which will shortly be shipped to NewYork
city. Mr.. Sidell has also about 1000
hogs on his place. The corn he raises,
together with thousands of bushels that
he buys annually, is consumed on his
farm. He employs about 40 teams and
so men. and has nine comfortable tene-
ment houses upon the plantation. There
are no public roads through his premi-
ses, but Mr.. Sidell says that it is high
way of itself. Wagon roads run through
the pasture from one end of the domain
to the other, with gates at the fence
crossings. The farm abounds in springs,
and is we'll drained throughout. The
proprietor of this miniature dominion
dwells in brick mansion of size and
surroundings corresponding with the
general magnitude of his comprehensive
undertaking. g.-DanUiUe Times.

His Gratitude,

The New Albany Ledger- Standard
tells of an incident which, if true, does
much towards redeeming our race from
the charge of selfshness. A gentleman
had assisted another to start in bust
ness, whereby he had risen from povety
and obscurity to wealth and distinc-
ton. Quite recently the daughter of
the benefactor was married. Her father,
not having kept pace with his protege
in the race for wealth, was unable to
bestow upon her any rich gift with
which to commence life. But the gem
tleman who, years before, had profted
by his benevolence had not forgotten
what he owed to him, and, considering
that it would be a delicate way of
acknowledging his indebtedness to be-
stow a present upon the daughter, held
many consultations with his family as
to what it should be. Unable to decide
it was finally concluded to make the
present in money and let her invest itas
she saw fit; and, while the Others
brought gifts of plate and jewels, the
grateful millionaire simply pressed in
the hand of the bride package of
money and departed. Imagine the
exultant Joy of the bride and her spouse
when, on unrolling it, the package was
found to contain dollar greenback.
