Then the princess would become i'm
patient, and would exclaim "Niy hand

prince would fasten his spur into it,

A Fiendish Woman

Mr. and Mrs. X. of Pittsburgh arc
believed to have lived as happily togeth-
er as man and wife commonly do in th cir
social position. Some time ago Mrs. X ;,
with or without reason, began to fancy
that Mr.. X. preferred Ida d. to herself.
This young girl had, for while, kept
house for the husband in the temporary
absense OF the wife on a visit TO rela
tives.
One day Ida received message from
Mrs. X, requesting her to call at her
house, as she (Mrs. X.) had letter
from the conntry for her. In the after
noon Ida dressed herself in her best
clothes and went to Mrs. KS house,
where she was met at the door by the
woman who kissed her, inquired particu-
larly about the state of her health, and
piioed her in the most comfortable chair
in the room, an armed rocking chair
Mrs. X. offered the girl refreshments.
which were declined, with a request for
glass Of water. This was at once
bEought by the amiable hostess, who
herself took drink.
The woman then went into an adioiu
ing room, from which she speedily re.
turned with a strong cord of rope ar
ranged in the form of moose. Smiling
and talking pleasantly ali the time, she
stepped behind her visitor, and, drop
ping the moose over her head and arms,
with sudden jerk. she soon bound the
young girl helpless to the chair 1da,s
feet were next tied to the char.
Now" said the woman, "you shall
see how [ avcnsc my.clf," whcreupon
from the table drawer she took n p,r or
shears, n large knif, anl revolver, all of
whicl i'm lcncnts she sp:eal upon the
t'Llr bsiore her victim by this tine
ready to CANT with terror.
The tormcnror's next step was to cut
OF the gi,l's hair as close as possible TO
the skin leaving only single handful
on the top of the head for the purpo, SC
ms she explained, of facilitating the
subsequent operation of scalping. The
girl screamed and called for help as
loudly rs she could, but the house stands
in lonely place, and no dclivcrcr ap.
paarcd.
After cutting off the hair, Mrs. Y.
brought looking glass that Ida mi -;ht
see the change produced in her features.
As the girl begged for release, saying
that she was freezing, she was told with
a plentiful application of mocking cpl
thcts, that she would be warm enough
before She got away.
Mrs. y. then put the poker in the
stove, and while calmly waiting for it to
become red hot, she told her victim what
she intended to do with it. First |
will burn your eyes out, etc., etc, And
she really began to execute her threats,
but when she was trying to blind the
girl, the latter, by super human effort
succeeded in releasing one of her hands
with which she seized the glowing poker
and for while arrested the monster in
the preparation of her crime The in.
corruption made it necessary to rchcat
the poker; and in the meantime the
unlooked-tor return of her husband was
all that saved the girl from prolonged
torture and death at the hands Of Mrs.
Y.

After them.


The Frenchmen who we're swindled by
the old Memphis and FL paso Railroad
Company are anxious to have q settlement
with Gen. Fremont and his associates in
that magnificent swindle. We sincerely
trust that they may bring these gentlemen
to terms. The infamous transdatons in
Europe in connection with the Memphis
and Ell Paso concern have weakened the
confidence Of foreign capitalists in all
American enterprises; The fact that Free
mont hos been identified with the former
schemes for southern Pacific Railroad
has been one of the chief clogs in the way
Of the Texas and Pacific organization 4.
Col. Scott stated while in this city that he
had refused to identify himself with the
enterprise until it was thoroughly purged
Of the Memphis and Ell Psso element; and
that the very first thing tho fnanc ial
agents Of the Company in Eur ope had to
do was to show that the Texas and Pacific
was an entirely new and distinct enter.
prise, and had not the most remote con-
nectiOn with the Fremont concern.

Cleopatra Dying.

Glorious victim Of my magicl
Ruined by my potent sped,
From the world 5 imperial station
Have dragged thee down to hell F!
Fallen chieftain! unlhroncd monarchl
Lost through undoliug love for me
Fast on shades Of night eternal,
Wings my soul It's flight to thee
Cesar shall not grace his triumph
With proud EQypts captive queen
Sootbed 10 sleep by pspic kisses,
Soon my heart on thine shall lean.
Soon my lie, like lotus blossoms,
Swift shall glide on CharOns stream
Clasped once more In thy embraces,
Love shall vi endless dream.
Iris Chairman Bind my tresses
APlace the crown above my brow
Touch these hands and take these kisses
Anthony reproyes not now.
Gods my lips breathe poisoned vapors
They have struck my Charmaian dead /
Foolish minion burst proceede me
Where my spirits lord has fed
None shall greet his smile before me,
Smiles for which barrer life
Coils of llades speed the summons
Which shall ease this bosom's strife
renounce my crown-my kingdom
For one moment at his side
0ctalavia's tears may prove her widowed
llaonntrn's stjll hia bride
See, my courage claims the title
Closer pressed the aspic fangs,
Memories OF his loved cnresses
Sweeien now these deadly pangs.
Honor, manhood, glory's teachings,
Ali he bartered for my smile
Tw ined his hesrl-strings round my fingers
Vibrant to touch the while.
Followed,fast my silver rudder,
Fled from Cesars scornful eye.
Needed not his bleeding honor,
Glad upon my breast to lie
Then shared him in my meshes,
Bound him with my willy art,
From the front Of conquerin5 legions
Snatched him captive to my heart.
Wild his soul at my caresses
Weak his sword OF my command
Rome with fury saw her mightiest
Bowed beneath womans hand
Noblest of the noble Romans
Greatest of the Emperors three
Thou didst fling away kingdom
Egypt gives herself to thee
Sweet as balm, most soft and gentle,
Drains the asp my failing breath
Anthony, my lord my lover
Stretch thine arms TO me in death,
Guide me through these deepening shadows
Faint my heart and weak my kLee--
Glorious victim Ruined hero
Cleopatra dies for thee

Lincoln s Silk Hat.

Those who witnessed Lincolns first in
augura,ion will not soon forget one little
scene which then occurred. The Pre- sident
elect came forward upon the platform
prepared at the east front Of the Capitol,
with his natural awkwardness increased
by tho momenlous circumstances OF the
occasion and by q gorgeous wardrobe, in
which it was evident he felt exceedingly
uncomfortable. The stiff dress-coat, vest,
and pantalocns of black broadcloth were
enough Of themselves to disturb his NELL
tai and physical equanimity, but 10 these
were added other membranes, IN the
shape Of brand-new silk hat and a pom
derous gold-headcd cane. The cane he
managed to put away in n corner, but the
disposition of the hat perplexed him
greatly. 1t was too good to throw away,
too nice, as he thought, to rest upon the
rough boards; so for q minute at least,
poor Lincoln stood there in the gaze Of
assembled thousands, graspng the hat
desperately and seeking in vain fora safe
place to deposit it. Douglas, who sat i'm.
mediately 10 the rear, saw the embarrasss
ment of his rival, and rising, took the
shining beaver from its sorely bothered
owner and held it during the delivery of
the inaugural address. 81. LOU, R,pub.
