How Danbury Woman Managed.

A HOT tempered Danbury woman who
finds considerable trouble in persuadlng
her husband to furnish kindlings, and
then is obliged to do it herself, read in a
religious paper, Monday, of how wife
induced wicked husband to become one
of the most affectionate and hopeful Of
men by being invariably calm and loving
with him. The story made deep i'm
preston upon her, and when she started
q fire that noon, she put pair of rubbers
among the wood. Then she tied a hand
kerchief across her nose, and went on
with her work. When the husband
reached the gate, he paused, fetched a
sniff that made hole in the atmosphere,
and then went around to the back Of the
house and fetched another sniff that had
an equally damaging effect on the atmos-
phere. He stared into the next yard and
up at his own house, and felt in his pock-
cts, and was about to go around to the
front again, when his wife thrust her head
out of the window and said, 'Why don't
you come in the house, you old fool?
Come in and get your dinner, and let me
read an article to you from the Christian
Secretary, you old rip! Come in and see
how nice it is to get dinner with nothing
to burn but rubbers, you whited sepul-
chre! Come in here, l tell you, before
lose my temper, and say what / oughtn't
to-" At this invitation he went in, going
upon the stoop and to the door very
slowly, but on opening the door, dissap-
peared inside with marvellous sudden
ness The neighbors say he was cutting
wood all the afternoon, and thinking OF
the religious press.-Dan5atry Nea0s.

absence he looked in the drawer, and was
astonished to find that the bills had been
unrolled and scattered over the bottom
but that none of them had been removed
Then he let his angry passions rise, and
loaded his revolver and laid in wait cx-
pecting to capture the thief, who he sup
posed had been hastily driven off while
examining the drawer. He remained at
his post all night and until daylight with
out observing anything, and finally con-
cluded to remove the bills and try SINH
lar experiment some other time. To his
unbounded astonishment, however, he
discovered that some of the bills had been
taken. His hair rose; then he cooled
down and grew madder than ever; then
he cooled down still more, and made an
examination of the drawer. Then he
found knot-hole at the back part. Next
he secured the services of a carpenter, and
soon found the nest of mouse, nicely
lined with bills Of various denominations
under the counter. In this place Of de-
posit he found not only one of the bills
he had marked, but also $31 which had
previously been stolen.-DetroitI Tribune.

THE NEW WORLD.

In Havana, on the evening of the I'd, while
party of Republicans were holding meet
ing in their club rooms, the Chief of Police
arrived and arrested about forty Of them and
placed them in jail. 1t is said they had been
notified that it was contrary to law for them
to hold meetings.
A report has recently prevailed that the
Geneva award of S15,5O0,000 had already been
paid into the United States Treasury; but a
Washington dispatch of the I'd says that on
inquiry it had been ascertained that prelim-
mary arrangements only had been made to this
end.
Treasurer Spinner has written letter to a
member of Congress on the back-pay ques-
ton, and SAYS: 81 doubt whether even the
covering of this money, without consideration
and without legal authority or warrant of law,
will place it beyond the reach of the parties
to whom it legally belongs. think it could
be claimed at any time hereafter, in several
ways. and even on the mere statement of an
account by the depositor, or by his heirs-at-
law, against the United States, for moneys had
and received. 1t is possible that you might,
yourself, by your last will and testament, will

ton, the love and affection you bore your ma
tive land"
New York dispatch of the I'd says: "To
day another counterfeit $500 greenback was
received at the Sub-Treasury, making the
third received since Saturday. 1t is believed
at the Sub Treasury that the counterfeit bills
came from the West and that there are but
few circulating in New York. The bills have
been examined by experts of the American
Bank Note Company and are pronounced by
| them to be the best counterfeit bills that evel
came under their notice. George W. Marler
of the Sub Treasury, says that the paper OF
which the forged bills are printed is lighter
than that of the genuine. He also says thai
the bills cannot be distinguished from tn,
genuine, but that the letters on the back arr
tinged with green where they should be per
fectly white, and that blue tint, peculiar tt

DURING the week or two past the pro-
prietor of restaurant on Griswold street
missed more or less money from his till
daily, and was finally compelled to sus-
pect some of the persons in his employ.
Accordingly, on Thursday evening he
marked a number Of bills and put them
in the drawer, and walking out OF his es-
tablishment by one door entered 1t by
another, so secretly that no one knew
that he was in the place. He was next
about to hide himself so that he could see
the money drawer and not be seen, but to
satisfy himself that the money had
not been disturbed during his temporary

ONE Of those people who consider
horse cars as spittoons recently entered a
Boston car, and inadvertently bestowed
his attention upon gentleman's boot. No
sooner had the boot felt the indignity than
it seemed endowed with sudden vitality.
1t attacked the expectorator until he madly
volunteered to give it satisfaction if it
would accompany him out of the
car for few minutes. The challen-
ger and the boot departed: the spectators
saw hats flying, and arms and legs spin
ming about with so much velocity that it
was impossible to tell who owned them.
After breathless time the outraged boot
was avenged and departed triumphantly.

In William X. Bliss new book OF

scribes as follows a " Lepers' Village -
There is leprosy in the Hawaiian
blood, but none OF it is to- be seen in
Honolulu, as those who are afflicted
with it are sent 10 the lepers' village, on
the Island of Molokai.
10 visit the settlement on Molokai.
which is about thirty miles east of Hon
olulu,. we embark on a clipper-schooner
bound to windward to bring down a
cargo of sugar from Lahaina-a town on
the Island of Maui, where lepers may be
seen i'll its one broad street.
AFTER rolling to starboard and rolling
to larboard all night long, the schooner
'heaves to at sunrise off the southern
coast OF the Island, and we are set ashore
from a small boat in the little harb or OF
kaunakaki.
The Island is green with vegetation,
but Is nearly deserted. There are less
than fifteen hundred persons on it, al.
though it contains one hundred and sew
enty square miles. As we ride on horse.
back away from the shore, up the ascen-
dingplains, in northeastern direction we
pass deserted garden patches, fallen walls
and ruins OF fnative huts, on which knots
OF long grass are waving like signals OF
distress.
Crossing succession of green hills,
we come suddenly to the brink of the
precipice Of kalaupapa, which looks
north to the ocean and is two thousand
fee high.
Below, from the foot of the precipice
stretches plain, diversified with hills
and wales, and reaching to tho dis.au,
shore, where it curves like scythe into
the sea, turning up white swath agains
the trade wind. The plain is covered
with luxuriant vegetation; but we car
see no lite on it. Here and there few
brown huts catch the eve. Far on the
right are dots of white houses. That i:
the leper village. A steep pride. patti
zigzags down the front Of the precipice,
and we must descend it. Under wreath
ing vines, white blossoms and swinging
trailers, which adorns and obstruct thu

horses step carefully and tediOusly. l,

ment. 1t consists of detached houses
enclosed by low walls or picket fenc es
standing in open pasture lands An,

banana trees and a winding brook give
picturesque appearance to the village.

the hower-covered precipice, which shut
