Chased by W Wolves.

That was great winter among the
scattered farms and settlements OF
the Upper Aroostooll Valley. Bitter
cold to be sure, but with just snow
enough to make the going easy for
man and beast. There never was
such a time for sleighing and for
bees Of all sorts. Never such win
ter for wild animals, either, and the
whole country was alive with bear
and wolf yarns. Trade was lively,
and the smart-looking store at Square
Four Corners could hardly ever be
deserted by both its owners the same
night, no matter what the frolic was.
That was the way the GOODNESS be-
gan between the members Of the
firm Of Oakcs g. Muplesop. If it was
Jim Oakes' turn to 90 out, Harry
Mapleson was sure he would spend
the evening at Squire Galbraith's on
the hill, and when it was the other
way Harry would scowl at his custo

in under the capacious shed at the

all the country round, that either
Jim or Harry might have been in a
manner contcnted, since they had 8
fair certainty that neither one OF
them would catch the Galbrath girls
alone.

ever, they let the mutual GOODNESS
grow, until now it was pretty evident
that crisis could not long be post.

WHEAT PROSPECTS CHICAGO, April
10.-The Times this morning publish
ed tclcgraphic report from Wiscon-
sin, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Mich
Ii igan and Minnesota, from which it
appears that spring wheat has been
bodily killed in many places, and that
less spring wheat is being sowed on
account of the lateness of the season
than usual. The average of wheat
seems to be very much less than last
year, though by saving tho product
of this year it will not fall below that
of last year. Indiana and Wisconsin
promise best for winter wheat, while
Michigan, Minnesota and Iowa do
not report favorably Grasshoppers
are feared in Minnesota, and chinch
bugs in Missouri. In Kansas there
is a disposition in all growing wheat
to rust. There is as much spring
wheat sown as possible, and with
favorable weather, prospects will un-
doubtedly be good.

of March last. He is still in the full

finished her domestic duties and read
her morning lesson, she sat down to

children, her delight was in an Or.

AFTER THE BALL.

They sat and combed their beautiful
hair,
Their long black tresses one by one,
AS they laughed and talked in the
chamber there,
| After the revel was done.
Idly they talked of waltz and quad
rille,
Idly they laughed, like other girls,
Who over the fire, when all is still,
Comb out their braids and curls.
Robes of satin and Brussels lace,
Knots of flowers, and ribbons too,
Scattered about in every place,
After the revel is through.
And Maud and Madge, in robes of white

The prettiest night goes under the

And the little bare feet are cold.

And out Of the bitter st. Agnes wealth

Curtained away from the chilly night,
After the revel is done.

While thousand lustres shimmering

In palaces grand saloon.

Men and women with beautiful faces,
And eyes of beautiful dusk.
And one face shining like star,
One face haunting the dreams OF each,
And one voice sweeter than others are,
Breaking in silvery speech.
Telling through lips of bearded bloom
An old, old story DER again,
AS down the royal hammered room,
TO Il golden gittern's strain,
Two and two they dreamily walk,
While an unseen spirit walks beside,
And all unheard, in lovers talk,
He claimeth one for his bride.
Oh, Maud and Madge dreamed on togeth'
With never pang of jealous fear!
For here the bitter st. Agnes weather
Shall whiten another year.
Rcbed for the bridal and robed for the

A California Horror.

Sometime In March two men, d. w.
Rover and j. w. Sharpe, went to Hum
boldt county, Nevada, to take charge of
a sulphur mine, which Rover had located
there. Sharpe represented the interests
of a Mr.. McWorthy, partner Of Rover's
i'll the mines. Sharpe had been ut the
mine but short time when Rover be-
came jealous of him, and it has since
been ascertained that he made threats at
the Humboldt House that he would get
even with Sharpe. A week ago last
Thursday McWorthy sent word to Rover
to meet him at Mill City, few miles
from the mine, with team to haul some
goods to the mine. Rover came several
hours after the appointed time, and
when asked where Sharpe was remarked
that he was not his keeper. McWorthy,
accompanied by friend and Rover, re-
turned to the mine, but could not find
Sharpe. He waited four days, and then,
Sharpe not putting in an appearance,
and satisfying himself that Sharpe had
not returned to Oakland, New orthy's
suspicious were aroused. Rover pro
tested the utmost ignorance of what had
become of Sharpe. McWorthy then re-
turned to Humboldt and swore out q
warrant against Rover, charging him
with the murder of Sharpe. The war
rant was given to Sheriff Nash, who went
to the mine and found Rover, who stout
ly denied all knowledge of the missing
man. A search was made in the hills,
and the Sheriff and McWorthy were hor-
rified to find portions of Sharpe's re-
mains secreted in different parts of the
surrounding hills. He had been killed
, with an AK, and his body cut to pieces
in the most brutal manner. His head
was found in sulphur bag, and his
thighs, arms, legs and body in separate
places, each limb carefully tied up in a
sulphur bag. About $500 in coin and a
pistol he had on his person were missing,
while his gold watch and papers were
found in his pockets. The footprints of
Rover's boots were tracked to every spot
where portions of the body had been
secreted. Rover has not been found

Old London.

London rs city of oders is not attrao-
tive. There are in the city fifty courts
and alleys, with 536 houses, in which the
intermittent water supply now furnished
is received either III ruinous old water
butts, often in the cellars, and exposed
to carnations from sewers or closets, or
in cisterns open to every kind of acciden-
tai or designed pollution. In one such
cistern, the report tells MS, "boys have
been seen to wash their feet :" and the
inhabitants of some of the houses ore
compelled to store water in open vessels
in their often crowded living and sleep
ing rooms, where in very short time it
becomes loaded with organic impurities
and living organisms. Cleanliness is inn
possible and disease is rife. Some of the
details are too disgusting for repetition,
but they are the inevitable results of the
water which has been described. Many
of these courts are inhabited by foreign
Jews, who are not naturally clearly in
their habits, but who in London could
not be clearly if they would and DIR.
Saunders protests "against the coward
ice and injustice of blaming for their
dirty habits people who are compelled
TO use the same scanty measure of water
times over for washing or for cooking
purposes, and who, if they are thirsty,
must 90 to a public hosse, because their
