ANOTHER OF THE MYSTERIES OF PARTS
A mysterious crime has just been div
covered. About ten days ago cab driv
er, named jacques Drouet, came in with
his vehicle and reported that he had
been stopped by woman, who told
him to drive to the bridge of Asniers.-
On arriving the woman told him she
had no money to pay the fare, but beg
ged him to take her gold watch and
chain. and she. having his number,
would come and redeem them. He did
SO, and showed the watch and chain
But soon after he left the service, in
spite of the e1postulations of his en-
ployer, and has not been seen since A
day or two ago the bocy of woman
young and elegantly dsessed, was found
in The Seine, and in her pocket was found
the number of this cabman. There
was no money or valuables. jacques
Drouet has been traced to Belgium by
the police, but if caught, it will not be
easy to convict him of the crime, all the
appearances going to prove that the
woman committed suicide.

A LESSON FROM TIE REDSKINS.
Galveston, Texas, Ne,cs. in reporting the
proceedings of the recent conference
with the Kiowas at Fort Sill, gives us
an excellent idea of one great cause Of
our Indian troubles, Santanta and Big
Tree, the two released chiefs, had each
been counseling peace with the whites,
when one old chief said: "For his
part he thought there was nothing like
lighting; for if they never fought they
never got anything for keeping at peace"
Many persons in thinking over this old
I. ,dian's words will arrive at the coneln-
sion that one great defect in our Indian
policy has been the system Of reuarding
robbery ard murder with presents Of
GOOD things. That we have besr, IN fact
holding out premium for the fea fhen
to 90 on the war patch, because they
knew that wien they came in again to
the reservation they would be loaded
down With gifts. We hope that this old
mans words have their weight with the
Indian Bureau at Washington.

| YELLOW FEVER AT CALVERT, Texas
The death of DR.. W. B. Field was not
unexpected by the deceased. When the
plague came, he pronounced it yellow
fever. He continued al the post of duty
until attacked and prostrated. He then
became resigned to his fate. Relief such
as he declared necessary came too late,
1t was a natural impossibility, he said,
fol him to recover. To the last he re
tanned his senses, aud sent for his broth
er Scott. He did not dread death, but
gave up his life unUurmuringly, having
sacrificed it in the service of his fellow
man. His was the last funeral in CAL
vert. Max Brennan, the foreman of
Hook and Ladder. Company No. l. with
eight other members of ths company, of
which deceased was an active member,
decorated the company truck and laid
upon it all that was mortal of DR.. Field.
The moulnful procession marched to the
grave yard. drawing the truck. On their
way they were stopped by colored
man, who rushed out of house occu
pied by Mr.. Brooks, q photographers.
and his wife, asking them to stop and
come in, as the lace of white man had
not been seen there for a week. They
halted, and some of thenf entered. The
sight that net their gaze was enough to
strike terror into stout hearts. Lying
dead upon a bed. covered with black
vonlit. was Mr.. Brooks. His wife, de-
lirous with yellow fever, was wildly
screaming, unconscious of her hus-
bands death. Such assistance as could
be rendered was freely and promptly
given. AS there were no sheets in the
house, some plain white cambric was
purchased in a neighb6ring store. The
party then resumed their march, bowed
down by the surrounding horrors, and
reached the graveyard. wh.re they in
tered their late friend AMI conpanion,
the beautiful service Of the Episcopal
Church being read over him by t. T.
Terrell. They left and separated to con.
tinue their work of waiting 7pen "a.

sEA husband in Salem recently over
heard neighbor remark with sympathy
that he was hen pecked. Of course, he
would have been less or more than man
if he had quietly submitted to this scan
d lous imputatlon, and he forthwith
took strong measures to prove its ground
lessness. He rushed home; he hurled
boot jack at his xifei he reduced to
fragments two of her best dresses; and,
as conclusive climax, he smoked his
pipe in the rurlor, with his feet on the
table in q basket of artificial flowers. II
is now generally admitted by the people
cf Salem that this gentleman isn't hen
pecked, inasmuch as he still survives

A KING IN HERRING. NET.-King Os-

preceded by tour among his subjects
in the fartherest north, by whom he was
most loyalty received. IL is noted thar
in the Norclande ne district he was asked
by some fishermen to me and ssee Il
large herring net they had spread out on
the sward, and the king good humorepy
complied with their request, but When
he was just in the centre u hupdf-a

ransom to get out of captivity, and was
then released amid bursts of mirth, in

~ When Ansclm Rothschild died,
in 1855, leaving an estate valued at thir.
ty millions of dollars, he evincsd the
generousness of his nature by bequeatE-
ing five hundred thousand dollars to
continue the aims he was in the habit
of distributing every week, as we'll as
for the distribution of wood to the poor
in winter. To the fund for giving a
dover to Jewish ma.dens, he left TWEEN,
ty-fve thousand dollars; to the fund for
the sick, MS well as to the Jewish Hospi-
tai, five thousand dollars each; TO the
Jewish school, twenty-five thousand dol
lars; and sums of twelve to fifteen huns
dred dollars each to several Christian es-
Establishments. To the clerks who were
more than twenty years in The employ
of the firm he left cne thousand dollars
each; to the juniors from one hundred
and fifty to two hundred and fifty dol
lars each, and many legacies to servants,
1t is said that he left to his godson, Sir
Anthony, Rothschild, Of London, ten
millions Of dollars aud an equal share
with Il Z other nepbews and nieces in
the residue OF the estate.

In HARD LUcK.-The schooner Good
Templar, which reached here last We'd
nesday from San Francisco, had hard
tire of it. She came off the dry deck
at San Francisco, in leaky condition.
which does not speak well COR San
Francisco mechanics. She then sailed
tor this place and got on ledge of rocks
outside of the Golden Gate, in a dense
fog. So far from being injured by the
accident, she came off the rocks tighter
than when she went on them, and is
now loading coal at the Newport Bank.
She was thirty-four days from s. n

APAN1C-STRUcK DEMONSTRATING
on this subject, understand that Pc
troleum V. Nasby, who las recently be-
come citizen Of Manhattan, has had
the misfortune to lose $4,000 of his
individual means by the failure of Kraus
Il Smith, private bankers in Toledo.
He is philosophic over his i'll luck, and
speaks in mock-heroic strains of the
manner in which the hard earnings of
the many years have been ruthlessly
swept away. He has no doubt, he says
that the firm is entirely honest, but that
!. is has had an unhappy destiny. Orig
inally their capital was $4,000, and
some strewd speculator in this city,
managed to get $25O,0oO out of them

" At a private party recently held
in Detroit, a boy tLoughtessly drew a
chair away from eorpnIent gentleman
who was about to seat himself, ther, by
letting MIN down on the floor in very
unpleasant manner. A msny laugh
greeted the unfortunate vic.im when
the "joke" was discovered, which how
ever, was soon changed into a murmur
of regret, for 1t was soon found that
the gentleman was unable to rise. He
was assisted into an adjoining room,
where physician, who was one of the
guests, ascertained that the force of the
fail had created rupture, the effect of
which will be felt through life.
