mails publish romantic story of IN Arab
girl who has been the leader in their
combats with the Turks. The girl was
the daughter of n chief, and was married
to a warrior of her tribe. who was mur-
dered by the Turks. The young widow
made vow to avenge his death upon
the soldiers Of the Padishnh. The Emir,
touched by the prayers and tears OF his
child, called upon the tribe, the whole of
the Bcdouin horsemen Of the Benz Kawas
rising in consequence against the demon
inatiOn of the Padishnh. The daughter
Of the Emir, armed like the men, and
carrying their banner, like Joan Of Arc,
was always foremost in their attacks up
on the enemy, closely followed by her
father the Emir, her brothers, and the
remainder OF the horsemen. The Turk
sh Government has set price on her
head, in order TO capture her and 20 stop
the slaughter of the soldiers. The Ara
bian poets have made the heroine the
subject of their songs, and she is now the
greatest parsonage in the district of Beder.

A ROMANTIC STORY.

Forty years ago there lived in Provi.
dence, within a stones throw from whore
Grace Church now STANDS, young man
of great intelligence and wonderful me-
chanical ability, who spenta little fortune
in the vain attempt ut making perfect
representation OF Russia iron, and after
a. many failures rs attempts in this un-
dertaking he became utterly ruined, 4
nancaIly. His ambition for the secret
increased Ms his fortune grew smaller, ard
when absolute want stared him in the
face he became possessed with the detor-
minution to accept of the only means of
obtaining one of the greatest secrets in
mechanical art, and to gain this he must
suffer penal servilLdc in the dungeons OF
Russia. The rulers Of Russia are the only
pI,sessors of the art of making what Is
k Iown rs glazed Russia iron, used oXten-
sively for all kind of stove and stove pipe
work, and which has for nearly century
b zen made within tho walls of Russia's
underground prisons.
None but life convicts are allowed to bo
initiated into the secrets of manufacture
OF one of the principal means of income
to the Russian Government, and when
once within its walls no ono need ever
hope for pardon, for none hns ever been
gra tied, whilo but one has ever boen
known to have escaped, and when the
door is once shut to the outside world it
is never known whnt has been the fate Of
the unfortunate. This, then, was the
Providence man's last resort for ginning
possession of the secret which had be-
come his only ambition. He left his home
for Europe, and the simple rumor of tho
attempted assassination of tho Car hyun
American, supposed 20 be insane, was all
mt was ever known 10 his friends Of
what became Of the ambitious mechanic,
n I'd as nearly half century had ratified
on since ho set out upon his pcrilous On
de'tak,ng, hardly person living will re.
member the circumstance which is hero
rec ,rded.
There is one person, however, in Prov
louce, who remem bers we'll the day the
hero of our sketch bade her "A fearful Iale-
we'll, promising that before she reached
her twentieth birthday he would return
to her and fulfill his promise. All thro'
these long years she has never forgotten
her promise to wait for her lover, nor
ceased to believe he would yet come for
her. She now lives within moments
walk of the chimes of Grace Church, aud
is still we'll preserved, aud her grace and
beauty make her far more attractive thnn
many whose years were the same rs were
hers when her lover separated from her
so long ago. Last week she received the
glad tidings from far away over the water
that he who had so long kept her patient
Iy waiting was on bis way to fulAl his
promise of forty years ago, and let US
hope ho may bring the secret he paid for
so dearly, and that he may live To sec
some reward for his great sacrilce.-

BRIsTOw on THE SOLID SoUTH.-Mr.
Bristow has been soundly beratod hy the
Kentucky Democrats for turning

be judged by this extract from a recent

bloody shirts to shake, but the Republic

and the South has yet given no evidence
that its borders are safe for n political
opponent, and that there will be no more
bloody shirts. There will be no occasion
for any military force when the Demo-
cracy see that they have no chance. They
will quiet down, and there will be no
bloody massacres at Hamburg or else
where. 1t is this delusive hope of pow
er that does the mischief. They have ex-
cited this dangerous hope by the norni-
nation Of a Socessioni-t for President,
and so long as they entertain q hope Of
his election, so long will thesectional an
imOsity exist. II the Democracy meant
fair, why did they not nominate War
Democrat Because they depended up
on the united South that is their boast.
We went South with our armies and left
u quarter OF n million dead, to dissuuder
II united South, and yet, in eleven short
years, under the banner Of Democracy,

South with arms let ~ now meet the

ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A KISS
The following amusing story concerning
the tragedian Edwin Booth, is published
in an exchange:
" Edwin Booth is proverbially opposed
to having his private trumpet blown, but
little incident of his overland trip is too
good to be lost. 1t seems that in the same
parlor car with the trugedian was lady
more remarkable for the loudness OF her
style and the oppressive gorgeousness OF
he" jewelry than for her refinement. This
water fly not only conceived the most
intense passion for the pet of the stage,
but took special pains to make itmanio t
-an interest that seemed to be only the
more irhamed by the apparent profound
indifference OF Mr.. Booth to her presence.
She repeatedly stated among other thing,
that she would give 500 to kiss that
divine Booth just now
" AT Omaha II poor emigrant attracted
the attention of the travellers as they re-
turned tn the car after dinner. He had
started for California but hid been robbed
while asleep, and was without funds to %
ON or even procure food. Our American
Hamleps generosity IN the days of hi,
golden fortune is proverbial. Mr. Booth

the poor devil 500 note. As he die

purposes. Take off the top, cut to the
proper shape, and fasten on a handle by

Trees and Raf,,.

The bulletin of the Torrey Botanical
Club contains a suggestive paragraph in
reference to the influence of trees upon
rain and atmospheric moisture, as shown
by the experience of the Island of Santa
Cruz, in the West Indies. This island
is said to have been a garden of fresh
ness, beauty, and fertility twenty years
ago; it was covered with woods, trees
were everywhere abundant, and rains
were profuse and frequent. The recent
visit of a gentleman who had known the
island in its PALMER days revealed a Ia
mentable change, one-fourth of the isl
and having become an utter desert. The
forests and trees had been cut away,
rain-falls had ceased, and the process Of
~desiccation, beginning at one end of the
island, had advanced gradually and If
resistibly upon the land, until for seven
miles it had become as dry and barren as
the seashore. Houses and plantations
had been abandoned, and the advance Of
desolation was watched by the people,
wholly unable to prevent it, but know
ing almost to a certainty the time when
their own h~abitations, their gardens, and
fresh fields would be a part of the waste.
Indeed, the whole island seemed doomed
to become a desert. This sad result il
owing entirely, according to the BELIEF
of the inhabitants, to the destruction Of
the trees upon the island some years
ap0.

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate, May %, A. W. Barnum, the
new Democratic Senator-elect from Con-
necticut, took the oath of Office. A petition
from A. NJ. Clapp, Congressional Printer,
was read to the effect that he was an officer
of the Senate; that great injustice has
been done by a Committee on Printing
in the House of Representatives; that
the books of his Office are detained from
him by that Committee, and that no oppor-
tunity was given him for an explanation
of the charges before that committee. 1t
was moved that it be referred to the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections, with
instructions to inquire into the truth
of the allegations. Adopted. A communi-
cation was received from Secretary Taft sug-
costing that the appropriation for asnagboat
for the Western rivers be increased $4,000.

Hoo they Hang Men IA. CHINA.


I observed one mode of Chinese capt.
tai punishment known as the Cage"
The cage used was between two and three
feet square, and oyer six feet high. Near
the bottom was a close floor of plank.
The four sides were open work of plank
pailings. The planks composing the
cover were made to fit around a mans
neck, close enough to hang him, but not
close enough to strangle him. The con-
demned man was put in this cage, his
head projecting above, the cover fitting
around the neck, and under his feet a
number of bricks. one above the other
just enough to enable him to stand on
tiptoe. When this position from weari.
ness became uncomfortable, his only relief
was to hang by the neck. The design is
to make a man suffer as much as possible,
but not to kill him too quickly. Usu-
ally, after a criminal has been standing
thus for a day OF so, one Of the bricks
is removed, and then another, until he
hangs by the neck altogether. 1t is said
that a strong man ordinarily will endure
this torture for several days before life
becomes extinct.
On the present occasion death was
fastened more quickly. The man was
put into the cage on Sunday afternoon,
l believe, about n O'Clock. / heard Of
it on Monday morning, and went over
to Annoy about two o'clock in the after
noon to see him. He had been dead fol-
some time. The guard said that he
died just before daylight; that he was
conscious of having committed great
crimes, and had fastened his own death
by kicking the bricks from under his
feet.

Dear SSr-Your medicines, Golden Medical
Discovery, DIR. Sage's Catarrh Remedy, have
proved of the greatest service to me. Six
months ago no one thought that I could pos.
sibly live long. 1 had a complication of dis
eases; s~crofula, manifesting itself in erup-
tions and great blotches on my head that
made such sores that / could not have my
hair combed without causing me much suf-
fering; also causing swollen glands. tonsils
enlarged, enlarged or "thick neck,p and
large and numerous boils. / also suffered
from a terrible Chronic Catarrh, and in fact
l was so diseased that life was a burden to
me. / had tried many doctors with no ben
eft. l finally procured one-half dozen bot.
ties of your Golden Medical Discovery and
one dozen Sage's Catarrh Remedy and COM
menced their use. At first l was badly dis
couraged, but after taking four bottles of
the Discovery l began to improve, and when
1 had taken the remaining / was aoen. In
addition to the use of Discovery / applied
a solution of Iodine to the Goitre or thick
neck, as you advise in pamphlet wrapping,
and it entirely disappeared. Your Dis
coyery is certainly the most wonderful blood
medicine ever invented. 1 thank God and
you, from the depths of my heart, for the
great good it has done me.

Most medicines which are advertised as
blood purifiers and liver medicines contain
either mercury, in some form, or potassium
and iodine variously combined. All of
these agents have strong tendency to break
down the blood corpuscles, and debilitate
and otherwise permanently injure the hui
man system, and should therefore be dis
carded. DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, on the other hand, being composed
of the fluid extracts of native plants, banks
and roots, will in no case produce injury,
its effects being strengthening and curative
only. Sarsaparilla, which used to enjoy
quite a reputation as a blood purifier, is a
remedy of thirty years age, and may well
give place, as it is doing, to the more posi-.
tive and valuable vegetable alternatives
which later medical investigation and dis
covery has brought to light. In Scrofula or
Kings Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Fry
sipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scrofulous
determinations, Indolent Inflammation, Mer.
curial affections, Old Sores, Eruptions of the
Skin and Sore Eyes as in all other blood
diseases DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery has shown its great remedial powers,
curing the most obstinate and intractable
cases. Sold by all dealers in medicines
