indulgcnt and loving husband. They had no
child, but still he kept faithful to his promise
to never take another wife. One day while
he was out. one of his servants came and
told him to go home, and to enter the house
by private way, open only to the servants.
He did 80, and went to his chamber to find it
locked. With one blow it was open, and his
dishonor was only too apparent. He was
armed, but he made no use of his pistols or
saber. lie simple addressed the man, who
was one of his intimate friends, and told him
that he could not leave the room until he was
paid. The man stared in hopeless astOnish-
ment and fear, when the Pasha demanded
five francs. The man paid it and gladly left.
The Pasha addressed no word of reproach to
his wife, but left the room. and commanded

for himself and wife. He remained alone

LOUIS RIEI, lately elected 70 the Dominion
Parliament from the District Of PrOvenchcr,
in Manitoba, stands charged With murder
most brutal and repulsive in its details. In
1870. when Riel was acting as President of
the Provisional Government, political pris-
iOner, one Scott, was sentenced by Riel to be
shot. A squad of six soldiers was detailed
to execute the order Of the six shots only two
took effect, and those did not cause sudden
death. This did not prevent his butchers from
placing him alive and speaking in coffin,
and mailing it. The shooting took place at
10 o'clock, and SIX hours later Scott wxa
heard to say: /" For God sake take me vst Of
here or kill me-" Toward IL O'Clock, thst
is after ten hours Of seony, . person gave
the finishing stroke WITH butche: knife On
the third or fourth night after uis the bot'y
was taken toward the Red River, 'o 4 po'rt
opposite the Riyer La Seine. Here it was
heavily frei0hted with stone and sunk to the
bottom of the stream.

The True Man.

Nine-tenths of the alleged inhumanity of
mankind is owing to their being deceived. If
people are sure of an accident or calamity,
crowds hasten to relieve it. BY veracity we
charm in conversation; by trustworthiness
we render friends loving and secure, and to
the general confidence of men in men, and
by thus strengthening the foundation of So
ciety, acquire the right to an analogous per-
sonal sense of worth and firmness. Truth
gives o sense of security to the feeblest man,
- iyon< dtss insecurity to the strongest. The
true maj has but one answer to give to inter-
rogaiors, one story to tell them, nobody's
face to fear

a Ms Stlfic0 Cat.

The floor of the County Clerks office was
day before yesterday covered with carpet
This carpet is of fanciful pattern and in it are
many high colOrs. About the office is cat,
raised in the place, and a stranger to any,
thing but naked floors. After the upholsterer
had finished his work the feline, Maggie by
name, came from the Office of the County
Auditor, Sheriff, or some other room about
the court house, and crying at the door, MIR.
Thompson, the County Clerk went and let
her in. Upon the door being opened, Mag
gle was about to walk in as usual when her
eyes fell upon the carpet She instantly stop
ped and gazed upon it as though petritied
with astOnishmcnt All the coaxiDg and pet
ting that could be done failed to induce the
cat to put her feet upon the carpet; she
would smell it, and if Il hair tickled the end
of her nose would spring back, shake her
head and prepare to elevate her back and
thickcn her tail. AT last she was caught and
carried to the center of the room, and, after
being sOOthed till quiet, was gently placed
upon the carpet. At first she Was afraid to
move, but presently began slowly to walk
about, smiling at the flowers in the pattern
and stepping high, like horse with the
string-halt, and whirling about with frigh-
tened look whenever the claws of her hind
feet caught in the thread of the fabric. At
length she got the better of her fears and be-
gan to examine the situation more critically
In the pattern of the carpet at intervals of
about four feet in all directions IS large
figure of q bright scarlet color. After eau
tiously smelling one of these spots, the cat
lay down upon it and rolled over and over,
much pleasure. She then went to
the next red spot and rolled upon il, and 30
on over the whole room, selecting the trighs
red epots and rolling ppcn then, untsl tEor-
oughly tiredUut. 6he paid NO attention TO

a remarkable movement has for some
time been going on in Persia, which indi-
Gates that even that country is not free
from religious tumult like that which has
been agitating so much of the more civilized
world. Trouble of no ordinary kind has long
been existing between the Grand Vizier and
the NICOLAS, but no explanation could for a
long time be attained. The Times Of India
now undertakes to say that all is due to the
origin of new creed, which seems likely to
produce y .nomentous change in the religious
future of the East This new faith,' known
by the name of the ''Alzdani, has secretly
but rapidly spread Throughout, the kingdom
of Persia. The creed supports doctrines
Zcdanltes do not believe in any pre- ohet They
only worship the Almighty. There are no
religious ceremonies stipulated fer the new
religion. The principal doctrines are praise
of the Supreme Being, truth and virtue. The
new faith has spread 50 far in influence that
several savans, nOblemen, and even Princes
have joined it. Now it appears that the pre-
sent Sabre Ann, or Grand Eizier, is also an
advocate of the new religion-a fact of
which the big Moolas and priests of Persia
appear to be cOgnizant. 1t need hardly be
said that these priests and kazees are afraid
of the consequences of the spread of this re-
ligion, which bodies destruction to the Mos
lem faith and practice. They now watch
with eager eyes the turn high officials may
choose to take. 1t was the Sabre Ann who
prevailed upon the Shah to visit Europe. The
natural deduction of this was that the Vizier
had, or for the matter of that may have still,
great influence on the mind of the Shah.
The priests and kazees see that were this
influence to be allowed % continue, the Shah
may in time be induced himself to embrace
the new faith. Why, Thea, the surest way to
avoid the difficulty was to remove the Sabre
Azm-and it is known how far they have
succeeded.
