An Exacting Lover.

Dean Swift's recorded matrimonial
proposal is certainly unique. After tell
ing his lady love that he is too Just to
stand in the way of her accepting more
advantageous offer, he says he must ask
her few questions that he had long
since resolved to ask of the woman with
whom he meant to spend his life care
you in condition to manage domestic
affairs with an income of less than three
hundred pounds year? Have you such
an inclination to my person and honor as
to comply with my desires and way of
living, and endeavOr to make us both as
happy az you CAM Will you be ready
to engage in those methods shall direct
for the improvement of your mind, 80 as
to make us entertaining company for
each other, without being miserable when
we are neither visiting or visited9 Can
you bend your love, esteem and indifier-
ence to others the same way as / do
mine? Have you so much good nature
rs to endeavor by soft words to smooth
any rugged humor occasioned by the
cross accidents Of life9 Shall the place
in which your husband is thrown be
more welcome than courts and cities
without himr Surely never was lady
80 catechised by suitor for her hand.
When Jane Waring felt able to answer
every question in the affirmative, then,
and not till then, her lover says, 81 shall
be blessed to have you in my arms, with
out regarding whether your person be
beautiful or your fortune large. Clean
liness in the first, and competency in the
second, is all / look forp This unique
epistle ends" / singled you out at first
from the rest of women, and 1 expect not
to be used like common lover" Swift
was evidently enough very uncommon
lover.

A Highwayman's Wife.

A Dallas (Tcxas) letter in the Mont
gomcry advertiser says:
To-day, upon entering the Exchange
Hotel, saw lady sitting at the piano
and lingering it in really artistic style.
bowed very politely to her, and asked
for Mrs. Chiffon, who is boarding here.
The lady at the piano politely remarked,
"Walk in, sir, / am not acquainted with
the ladies of the hotel" and continued
playing her difficult music. This was
Mrs. Reid, whose husband belongs to the
gang of highway robbers in Western
Texas, and who recently robbed the mail
coach between Austin and San Antonio.
A reward of 1000 being offered for
Reid, dead or alive, one of his own gang,
by deception, induced him to return to
Texas from Kansas, and getting him
over the line in Texas, about six weeks
ago, deliberately shot his chief through
the heart, and, delivering the dead body
to the sheriff, demanded the reward.
Mrs. Reid was in the Criminal Court
here, giving her testimony in another
case against one of the gang, when the
telegram was received announcing the
assassination of her husband. Upon hear
ing it she arose, and standing on tip-toe,
she drew forth six-shooter and swOre in
sight of hearers that she would never
rest until she had taken the life Of the
betrayer of her husband. The assassin
left.the State few minutes after killing
Reid, fearing the other members of the
gang. Mrs. Reid, though a desperate
woman, is said to be highly educated;
she lives about nine miles from Dallas,
and frequently visits the city, generally
travelling AS heavily armed as any Of tn
gang OF which her husband was chief

Emperor william and Bismarck.

A stranger Sauntering in and out
among the lime trees of Berlin, said Mr..
Hepworth Dixon, may chance to meet
two men in earnest conversation, on
whom his eyes will fasten with screw.
A plump and veneia able mana soldier
from the tip of his gilt helmet to the
spur of his cavalry boot-salutes with
military quickness as you touch your
hat. Sedate, little in advance, and
listening with curious strain, he has the
outer presence of man to whom the
weight of life is not alone the load of
time. Though swarth with sun and toll,
his features have something in them
weird and mystical. 1t is a martial and
imperial face yet in the lofty look-too
lofty for a trace of ordinary pride-you
catch, by surprise of the imagination,
something of the pensive and accusing
spirit of monk. But even this fine
figure can not keep your eye from wan
dering to the partner of his walk.
Straight as pine and rugged as larch
is he; man in plain attire, yet martial
in his stride as though he also passed his
life in camp. A man with ample brow,
firm and massive chin, head all brain,
trunk all nerve, he seems to pour out
floods of strong speech, yet with an eye
so open and face so frank that he who
listens would not have him spare one
word. No dreamer, no selfsearcher, no
idealist is he; but one who clings to fact,
to science, to the rule of three. No
weakness fingers on that face; no doubt,
no superstition, no remorse. When
laughter ripples down his cheek, it is the
flash of light on metal, rather than the
play of flesh and blood. You feel at
once that what he does is right, in his
own eyes; that he will never need to JUS
tify his actions to himself.
That elder parsonage, martial, medita-
tive, doubtful of himself, dependent on
unseen powers, is Wilhelm of Hohen-
zollern, victor of Sadowa and Sedan,
first Evangelical Emperor on this planet.
That younger, though mature and sturdy
parsonage, is Bismarck, Chancellor of the
new secular Empire in Germany.

Bold Attempt at Robbery In Chicago.

A bold and desperate attempt to effect
heavy robbery of diamonds, watches
and money, aggregating in value about
$4,000, was made by two thieves, at $50
o'clock last evening. The objective point
was the private banking and loan Office
of G. @. Jerome, in the store on the
southeast corner of Monroe and Clark
streets. The thieves had evidently been
watching their opportunity, and, taking
advantage Of Mr.. Jerome's absence i'm
the rear part of the store, ono of them
smashed a large plate glass in the show
window on the Clark street aide, while
the other reached in the opening thus
made to snatch the valuables exposed in
the window. On hearing the crash caused
by the breaking of the glass, Mr.. Jerome
turned and drew small Derringer pistol
from his pocket, and pointed it at the
thief, who Immediately stopped down be-
low the sash. As he did 10 his coat sleeve
caught on the edge Of the broken glass,
and seemed to hold him for q moment.
Mr.. Jerome then ran to the doorway with
his weapon in hand, with view to catch
ing the fellow. But the thief was too
quick for him and ran south on Clark
street into crowd of people and escaped
with his companion, in spite OF the efforts
of astonshed pedestrians to prevent him.
Mr.. Mcdonald, a partner of Mr.. Jerome,
had left the store but n moment before
the attempted robbery, and had just
reached the opposite side of Clark street
when he heard the crash of the broken
glass, and ran over to catch the thieves,
but too late to do 20. He caught sight Of
one of them, however, and believes he
can identify him.
There were in the window eight largo
solitaire diamonds, valued at 5000,
81 800 in bank-notes, $500 in $50 gold
pieces, ten Howard watches, and other
property worth about $1,000. The
thieves obtained only $40 in money and
one of the watches, and but for Mr..
Jerome's prompt action would undoubt-
edly have secured the diamonds and a
large sum of the money. They used a
board about three feet long and tour or
five inches wide to smash the glass, which
is valued at about $3.50. The fragments
of the broken plate we're scattered about
the store and on the walk, and on one
portion remaining in the sash there are a
few blood-stains, showing that the thief
who 10 barely escaped with his life had
lacerated his arm as he dropped beneath
the window.
There were no police officers within call
at the time of the attempt, which was one
of the boldest ever made in this city.
Detectives are engaged in looking after
the thieves, with poor prospects of sue

Sea Telegraphy.

In 1901 Admiral Sir Home Popham
conceived the idea of making a diction-
ary, every word of which should be repre-
scntcd by group of letters, which should
be recorded by corresponding flags.
This system was introduced into the
British Navy, for the first time, in Mel
sons fleet, with which he fought at
Trafalgar. 1t is not generally known
that the celebrated signal of Nelson be-
fore that fight, england expects every
man to do his duty" was given by this
system. The injunction not only. bore
the moral significance then and since at
tached to it, but it was an experimental
trial of one of the greatest advances
ever made in sea-telegraphy.
The two plans described-that of
numbering flags in combination, to rep
resent set messages, and of lettered flags
for messages not prearranged-remain to
the present day; all that has been done
since is in the way of amplifcation of
detail. Which, however, this advance
had been made by sea in daylight, the
state of affairs on the ocean at night re-
maincd exactly the same as they were
in Charles IFS time. Lanterns in diff
ferent numbers and forms, constituted
in 100, in 1900, and, indeed until 1860,
the sole means Of telegraphing over the
sea at night.
The plan was singurarly defective, and
in no degree fulfilled the wants of ships,
yet many of the forms of lights used in
the feet with which James ii. fought
the Dutch continue in use in the navy
at the present moment. One particular
signal is worthy of notice. Two lights,
one over the other, was the order fol
the fleet to tack, in Charles lis time
Ever since that period, whenever fleet
has been at sea, this has remained the
signal for it to task, and it is so at this
moment. A great number of plans, al
ways without success, were tried, no,
only by the English, but by other Eu
ropean nations, to bring up the condi
tion Of telegraphy by night, at sea, tc
that which IL had reached by day.
