Alas ! the Hackman this Time.

A really pleasing incident is, strange
to say, reported from Anew York police
Office. An English gentleman arrived
at Jersey City and drove with his bag
gage to fashionable uptown hotel.
"What have I to pay?" he inquired OF
the Jehu. "Just sl3," promptly re-
piled that hackman. Now, custom
prevails in London, pursuant to an act
of Parliament, that in case of any dis
pute with fare the cabman must drive
to the nearest police court. The Eng
lishman, reasoning by analogy, and,
luckily in this case, told the man to
drive to police Office. Arrived there
the gentleman stated his case, explain
ing that he was stranger and simply
wished to pay what was right, according
to the recognized tariff. The Justice
said to this moderate-minded hackman
"You will drive this gentleman to his
hotel. Your fare will be altogether SO,
but before you go you will have to pay
S1.50 for the expenses attending this
most proper application" Let others
who are swindled by hackmen, says a
New York paper, follow this strangers

Remarkable Feats Of a Sleep Walker.

The queer freaks of a sleeping man
in st. Louis are thus related by the
Times: ga conductor Of street cars
named Leslie boards at house nearly
opposite The offices Of the car company.
The house is about sixty feet front,
three stories high, and Leslie's room is
in the top story. Adjoining the build.
ing is one of a lower attitude, the roof
Of Which Is about six feet below Leslie's
window. East of this are the car stables.
Between II and 10 o'clock one
night Leslie was seen, in his hight
dress, cutting up all kinds of queer
pranks on the roof of his boarding
house. He was here throwing serious
of flip. flaps, dancing backward and for
ward, and gesticulating in the strang.
est possible manner. He then walked
down to the caves of the roof, where he
seated himself, with his legs dangling
over the street. Jumping up, he march
ed along the edge of the roof to the
western parapet wall, which is only
brick thick, up which he walked to the
chimney, which he mounted and passed
round it. Coming down from this per-
ilous perch he walked over the roof,
stopping by the way to go through the
manual of arms, till he reached the
eastern parapet, from which he jumped
down to the roof of the low building.
Here he INDUCED in little tight-rope
practice, walking along the wire OF the
fire alarm telegraph, divesting himself
of his shirt while in this queer position
and throwing it down on the roof, the
crown meanwhile being in breathless
suspense at the danger in which the
poor fellow was. He then jumped back
on to the roof, resumed his shirt, threw
q frst-rate somersault, and slimbed
up to the roof ridge Of the house.
These sort Of evolutions were continued
without any apparent fatigue or thought
of danger for some time. He then
jumped down on to the stable roof,
some four or five feet lower, and
marched up and down the front wall OF
the building, some hundred feet in
length, going through the manual ex-
ercises the while in the most perfect
manner. He returned by the course he
had come, climbing the bare wall OF the
east end of the middle building without
any apparent difficulty, and making q
clean leap of several feet through his
window into his bedroom. A number
of the officers of the car company went
into his room Immediately, where they
found Leslie lying on his bed, evident
ly fast asleep, though with staring, wide
open ey es. After some difficulty he was
awakened from his stupor, but was un-
able to give any reason for his strange
antics, being evidently unconscious
that anything unusual had occurred.
His attention was called 20 his black
ened hands and bleeding feet, but he
could not give an idea as to how they
came in that condition. Altogether it
is one of the most extraordinary cases
of somnambulism on record, and well
worthy the attention of the scientific.

The Last Of Beau.

AS if it were not enough for Beau
Hickman, of Washington, who started
in life with SAC, 900 and died in the poor
house, his remains were not doomed to
rest even in Potters' Field. Soon after
the Beau's interment in Potters' Field
the body was exhumed, the legs dis
iointed at the hips, the head severed
from the trunk and skinned, the viscera
taken out and removed, with the e1-
ception of the heart, which was found
in the bushes near by wrapped in q
newspaper. An ivory-handled dissect-
ing knife was found in the neighbor-
hood. From appearances it is thought
the persons were frightened from their
work before they had completed their
plans.
Some benevolent gentlemen had made
arrangements to give the body a de-
cent xurial in the Congressional Gene
terry, and on the undertakers going to
Potters' Field to remove it the sick
ening mutilation was first discovered.
The remains, however, were collected,
placed in q new coffin and inferred at
the cemetery.

A Beautiful Picture.

The man who stands upon his own
soil, who feels, by the laws of the land
in which he lives-by the laws of civil
lied nations-he is the rightful and ex-
elusive owner of the land which he tills,
is by the constitution of our nature,
under wholesome influence, not easily
imbibed from any other source. He
feels, other things being equal, more
strongly than another, the character OF
O man as the lord of an inanimate world.
Of this great and wonderful sphere,
which, fashioned by the hand of God,
and upheld by his owner, is rolling
through the heavens part of his-his
from the centre to the sky. 1t is the
space on which the generation moves III
its round of duties, and he feels himself
connected by visible link with those
who follow him, and to whom he is to
transmit a home. Perhaps his farm
has come down to hi from his fathers;
but he can trace their footsteps over
the scenes of his daily labors. The roof
which shelters him was reared by those
to whom he owes his being. Some in
teresting domestic traditionis connected
with every enclosure. The favorite tree
was planted by his fathers hand. He
sported in boyhood beside the brook
which still winds through the meadows.
Through the field lies the path to the
village school of early days. He still
hears from his window the voice of the
Sabbath bell which called his fathers to
the house of God; and near at hand is
the spot where his parents are laid
down to rest, and where, when his time
has come, he shall belaid by his children.
These are the feelings of the owners of
the soil. Words cannot buy them; they
flow out of the deepest fountains of tie
heart, they are ife-springs of fresh,
healthy and generous national charac-

A Belgian Murder.

The Independence Beige surrenders
several columns to an account of the
trial of William Depauw, aged twenty
seven, for murder which seems to
have been committed out of sheer per-
versity. 1t occurred at Vilvorde, in
South Brabant, six miles from Brussels,
on the line of the Antwerp railway.
The victim, laborer named Lebrun,
was on his way home on Saturday night,
when, having INDUCED somewhat freely
in ale, half drunk, he laid himself down
under the shelter of garden wall in
the Ruesde PAvenir, and went to sleep.
A neighbor named Leemans passed
him about half-past 10 o'clock and tried
to wake him up, and he was found near
ly dead at IL, with his skull fractured.
A large stone lay near by, covered with
blood and hair from the head Of the
victim. On investigation it appears
that the accused, who was man of
great muscular power, found Lebrun
asleep under the garden wall, and out
of sheer wantonness picked up large
stone and hurled it with all his force at
the head of the slumberer. The neigh
bors were attracted to the spot by De-
pauw's rough command to the bleeding
man to get up, and the noise of his
heavy wooden shoes, with which, by
repeated blows he was trying to compel
the obedience Of his victim. 1T is
probable" says the Independence
Beige, by way of comment, "that De-
paw threw the stone out of sheer wan
tonness, and, seeing that the man was
mortally hurt, tried to get off with him
to some less public spot, with view to
hide the body"

Crop ESTIMATES CRIrIcIsED.-The fu-
tility of crop estimates is well shown in
the present harvest. know one far
mer who claimed Is bushels an acre,
even after he had commenced to thresh,
and another who would not have COM
promised for less than IL after his crop
was cut. Yet the first measured out
five bushels per acre, the other returns
three bushels of wheat for one seeded as
his actual yield. This in Eastern Vir-
ginia, where the average crop Of wheat
will scarcely reach FIVE bushels per
acre. The amount of straw is unusually
great.

J. L. Hadden, G. E., Ottoman engineer
of the province of Aleppo, had charge

at the residence OF Rashid Pasha, Min
lister of Foreign Affairs. Waking next
morning after the illumiuations, Mr..
Haddan discovered that he was totally
blind-the result of watching the elec-
trio light, which was one of extraordina-
ry power but there is some reason to
hope that in the course of time his sight
may be restored.

The Wrong Spring.

The following story is from Bartlett
Springs, California, where, as is well
known, there are a number of small
springs possessing various qualities.
The water of some is recommended for
drinking purposes, of others for tath-
ing, or for the cure of certain diseases
but the one to which our narrative re-
fers is small soda spring, the water of
which is considered an excellent drink,
and spring recommended for the cure
of corns.
1t seems that an old gentleman who
was troubled with corns made it prac-
tice to go to the soda spring every even
ing and give his corns a soak before
turning in for the night, under the i'm
preston that it was the corn spring.
The aristocratic visitors likewise made
it practice to go to the soda spring and
take drink before retiring, which was
usually little after the old gentleman
got Though soaking his corns. They
were rather fastidious in their tastes
and would very carefully rinse out the
cup before taking q drink, but one
evening one Of them happened to come
down little earlier than common and
found the old gentleman soaking his
corns as usual. The high-toned chap
Indignantly demanded what he meant.
"Ain't this the corn spring." meekly
inquired the old man. "Corn spring |!
This is the soda spring" "Well," said
the old man, 81 thought there must be
something wrong have been coming
here every night for a week and 1

A Battle In the Air,
Terrific Combat Between Two Rocky
Mountain Eagles.

Terrific Combat Between Two ROCKY
Mountain Eagles.
There was terrific battle between
two largs brown eagles in the vicinity OF
the lakes above Virginia, Montana.
When first seen the birds were soaring,
one above the other, at an altitude OF
perhaps three-fourths of mile, and
seemed on sail for pleasure. Present.
" the tipperinost bird, closing its broad
wings, shot downward like a meteor for
two or three feet, and with wild,
piercing scream lit fairly upon the back
of the other bird. Turning with the
rapidity of lightning the victim clutched
its adversary with talons and beak and
a fierce struggle ensued. The savage
wells, the striking of huge wings, and
showers Of falling feathers gave un-
mistakable evidence of the feroeity with
which the contest was waged.
AS they fought they fell earthward,
and when within five hundred feet Of the
ground they became disentangled, and
each swooped upward again. Now fol-
lowed an interesting trial as to which
should first gain sufficient altitude to
make another plunge. The circling OF
the smaller bird was rapid and close,
while that of his antagonist was made
with greater limit, and his ascension
was quickest accomplished. The largest
eagle was soon fully one-half mile high,
and some hundreds Of feet above his
victim. lowering in mid.air for mo-
ment, as if making sure of his aim, he
again darted down upon his enemy,
striking him as before with force that
seemed sufficient to kill of itself. Again
they grappled, and fought like winged
demons-whirling, falling, and striking
furiously for two or three minutes.
They were now near the largest Of the
lakes, and gradually descending to the
water. The struggles of the smaller
became less and less fierce; he was
getting weak, and was evidently nearly
Yanquished, while his more powerful
enemy seemed to wage the battle with
increased vigor.
Another moment and the conquering
monarch loosed his hold, and with an
exultant shout of victory scared up
ward. The battle was ended; his
prisoner, limp and lifeless, fell into
the waters of the lake with q splash,
and floated on the surface without
