of the firing, but afraid to venture out.
In the course of half an hour, how
ever, the street was again filled with
excited men and wild rumors, which
finally sifted down into the following
facts, as nearly as can gather them:
After the truce had been signed, the
Fogle brothers and their friends went

knew would necessitate the interior

till he responded, ,remarking to a
friend: "Well, we have to arrest
them;'' and, with posse of three or
four men, approached them. Coming
up to Northcraft, Chandler presented a
shotgun and ordered him to surrender.
Whether he refused to do SO or
not is not known. At any. rate,
Chandler fired and killed Northcraft,
and at the same time one of Northcraft' s
companions, who was on horseback,
fired at and killed Chandler. Several
other shots were fired, but, so far as is
yet known, no one was hit. North
crafts friends escaped. As soon as the
remains of Northcraft and Chandler

TIE DOCTOR's PURSUIT OF A SPECIMEN
When Il doctor wants q "specimcn" you
may pretty certainly count on his getting
it. The great surgeon, John Hunter, set
an example to the profession when he
bounded that poor devil of an Irish giant
Hunter wanted the giants immense skel-
eton, and the giant knew it. Every step
he took was observed by Hunterian de-
iectives, and finally, in despair, the shad-
owed giant tied q stone to himself and
quietly dropped into the Thames one
night. But it was no use A month
later his bones, neatly articulated with
wire, CLEANED white from Il dark corner
OF hunters private museum. And an
other fellow who was hunted like GRIM
inal was that New Highlander who had a
crowbar shot through his head while
blasting rock. OF course lie ought to
have died Every man before him who
had Shot Il crowbar through his brain had
Immediately died and allowed the coroner
to secure his regular fee. But this fellow,
although attended by half dozen physi-
clans, had refused to die. lie couldn't 90
from his door to the well for bucket of
water without meeting professors Of ply
siology from Boston and surgeons from
New York, and the entire faculty of a
Boston medical college surrounded him
when he walked down town. One morn
ing he was missing. For twelve years
the public heard nothing about him. A
short time ago an enthusiastic New Eng
land surgeon wrote to the managers of a
Boston anatomical museum that he was
on his way back from California with that
fellows skull in his possession. Once they
discover you have any anatomical pecul-
iarty, You will never get rid Of the doe

Waiting.

WITH waiting aud wishing our courses pave;
We wait Tor the port As we battle the wave;
lis waiting forever from cradle to grave.
altIng Tor morn, serene in its light
waiting Tor MONDAY SO brilliantly bright;
Waiting at eve for repose in the night
Waiting for zephyrs in springtime that blow,
Waiting for summer and flowers that grow.
Waiting for winter, and swift falling snow.
Waiting is ever the bosonl's refrain,
In moments OF pleasure and moments of pain
waiting, though stricken again and again.
Waiting in childhood for YOUTH joyous time;
"l'm waiting" says outh, "but Pl certainly clint
The top OF the ladder reaching my prime
In manhood awaiting the time when he may
Find rest on a calmer, happier day,
When age shall relieve from the Worrying fray.
Waiting when Fortune sheds brightly her smile;
When choice are the pleasures the pathway beguile
There always is something to wait for the while.
Waiting in poverty, anguish and grief;
Waiting Tor Heaven to send us lief;
FEELING the heart that the trial is brief.
Aye, waiting for joys that will never appear;
Waiting Tor voices we never shall hear;
Waiting for moments that never are near.
Waiting when shining and worn in the strife
With penitent throbbngs the bosom is rife
Waiting the dawn OF Il holier life.
Waiting at last for the spirits release;
Waiting resi- in the Dwelling of Peace,
Where waiting and longing forever will cease.

What the Diamond Did.

George w., of England, sent the IA
nous Pitt diamond as present in a
ring to the Persian ruler, Fath-Ai-Shah
The bearer of this costly ring, Sir Har-
ford Jones, was stopped in his journey
by a messenger from the court, and de-
sired not to enter the capital, where
French interests were then paramount.
After Sir Hartford had exhausted every
argument to show that he ought to be
received, without making any impress
sion on the Persian khan, he said:
"Well. if it must be SO, shall return,
but this must go with me-" and he took
from his pocket the beautiful diamond
ring which had been sent for the shah.
The sparkle of the gem produced a
magical effect; the khan no sooner be-
held it than he lost his balance, and fell
back from his seat quite out of breath;
then, recovering himself, he shouted:
"Stop, stop, Elchil May your conde-
scending kindness go on increasing
This alters the matter. will send an
express to the heavenly resembling
threshold OF the asylum OF the world j
swear by your head that you will be re-
ceived with all honor. Mashaliah II
is not every one that has diamonds like
the Inglis." He was "a good as his
word; the express courier was dispatch
ed, and Sir Hartford Jones entered the
city of Teheran by one gate, while Gen
Gardaune, the French envoy, was pack
ed off by the other.

The Flow of Speech.

Though we all employ speech, says
the Popular Science Monthly, yet we
differ in ease and agreeablepess of utter
ance. The voice is weak or powerful, as
determined by the mode of action of the
respiratory organs. The timbre is
shary, harsh, sweet or harmonious; this
is determined by the confirmation of the
resonant cavities. Whatever quality of
voice we happen to have naturally, is to
be preserved, though it may be improved
by constant attention to the ear, by
steady observation, finally by training.
s. eech does not flow from its source
with the same ease in all cases; here the
mind is master, and mental qualities diff
fer from one another to far greater ex-
tent than physical aptitudes. Some
persons express themselves without diff
iculty or hesitation-their thinking
faculty acts as continuous force; others
seem to grasp word or a phrase here
and there-their thinking faculty is
f1uctuating, confused, undecided. A
certain feeling of constraint produces
suffering, stammering. 1t used to be
supposed that suffering is the result of
grave defects of the vocal organs, but
such is not the case at all; this infirmity
has it's seat in the mind, and it may be
cured or mitigated by systematic effort.
It is shown by statistics that Provence,
Languedoc and Guiene contain greater
portion of stammerers in their population
than any other portions of France.
This statement, when L saw it, was a
surprise to me; it has always been
thought that no one could possibly fall
ter in his speech who was born near the
Gsronne
