The Impertinence of Beggars.

A lady, who is quite benevolent, says
that each person who solicits aims has a
peculiar style of his or her own, and that
that style is either made up OF gross i'm
pertinence or professional whine. She
has yet seen only few who did not in
some manner consider it favor to have
food or raiment given to them. One
youth always addresses those from whom
he solicits grutfiy as follows: "Guv me
some cold victuals." Another in a dole
full way says: "P-l-e-a-s-e MARIN,
give me penny to buy loaf of bread
for my sick mother" If penny is re-
fused she flrts herself away quite angri-
", and for several minutes bombards the
house with feminine imprecations. One
woman is always after clothing. She is
familiar with the name Of about every
piece of clothing a man, woman or child
would be likely to wear, and she makes
a separate inquiry in regard to each, as
to whether the lady has it to spare, not
being satisfied until she has gone
through the whole list, and in her mind
checked off each article, unless the door
is closed in her face. One day she was
given white skirt, and after looking il
all over she inquired: "Hain't you got
one with q ruff1e on to it? / think that
looks so much more genteel."

A PrecOciOus YOungstcr.

California youngsters are proverbially
precocious, says the San Francisco Post,
but it is q question whether the doings
of little ten-year-o in the city prison,
who halls from Chicago, are not the
brightest yet. His name is Charley Le-
vine, and, all alone, friendless and mon
eyless, he has travelled to this city over
land despite the opposing efforts of con-
ductors, station masters and the brethren
Of that fraternity. AS he sat on the
bench near the wall, his clothing in tat
ters, his feet encased in consumptive
shoes, and no stockings, and his head
surmounted by tremendous hat, furn-
ished him by some kind-hearted and big
headed immigrant, it was easy to believe,
from his resolute tone, that he had done
what was said.
How long were you in coming, Char
ley ?" said the Post reporter.

urday night, n come up here. Tn going

"How did you get here without any

"Oh, I jest jumped on the cars n

North Platte, but 1 jumped on again.
They couldn't keep me off. What did 1

had already travelled thousands of miles

CaDture Of Famous Brigands.

Writing of Sicily, says a correspond
ent. reminds me of the capture OF the
Alfani brothers, two famous brigands,
who were arrested i'll Palermo on Easter
Sunday. The two brothers, who have
been for some time the terror of Siciian
provinces, and on whose heads was set q
price of 81 900 each, ventured into the
city to pass the day with some comrades
and friends. Although perfectly dis
guised and surrounded by trusty friends,
the police in some mysterious way, dis
covered thai the brigands were in Paler-
mo, and an ingenious plan was laid to
capture them. Two police agents dis
guised themselves as peasants out for n
holiday, and strolled about the city I'M
til they got near the house in which the
brigands were feasting with their friends
When within ear-shot the pretended
peasants feigned to quarrel. Words ran
high, and the two made such noise
that the brigands came TO the window to
see what was the matter. They saw, as
they supposed, two peasants quarreling,
and, enjoying the sight, the brigands re-
mained to look on. At last the pretend
ed row reached such pitch that one of
the disputants drew revolver, upon
which the other ran away, and the
brigands' house being the nearest refuge
he ran directly into the doorway, his adj
versary with the revolver following in
hot pursuit. Meantime another part OF
the plan was being carried out. While
the noise outside was going on the house
had been gradually and quietly sur,
rounded by the police, all in plain dress,
however. and all more or less concealed,
except two, who, at given signal, sud
denly appeared on the scene, as if a.
tracted by the dispute. Seeing one man,
revolver in hand, pursuing another,
what more natural than that they should
in turn give chase? The first two rush
ed into the brigands' house, the Others
followed, whistle was heard, and still
other men appeared, and before the
brigands comprehended the situation the
room where they were was filed with
armed men.
Then, but too late, it flashed upon
them, and, although both brothers at.
tempted a desperate resistance, the odds
were too great for them, and they were
soon overppwered.
Pinioned and handcutfed to each other
they were brought out into the streets
of Palermo, where the report that tie
| terrible Alfani brothers had at last beer
taken spread like wildfire, and the peo
pie crowded into the streets, cheerinf
the police as they marched along witt
/ their prizes,

A GuiItiesS Man Condemned,

In the year 1869 five men entered the
residence of clergyman named Schroe-
der at Wallvillig, in the Duchy Of
Luxembourg, murdered the servant, and
left the clergyman himself for dead. The
latter, however, recovered, and declared
that among the number of his assailants
he recognized a young man named Gillen.
Five men, including Gillen, were put on
trial, and all denied the crime. Gillen
even succeeded in proving that at nine
p. NJ, shortly before the commission of
the crime, he was in his bed. However,
Notwithstanding this and the efforts of a
very distinguished counsel, the case went
so strongly against him that he was con-
demned to death, and even his father adj
mitted that the evidence proved him
guilty. The sentence passed on the five
convicts was subsequently commuted to
penal servitude for life, and from the
time he entered prison Gillen refused all
consolation, and, it was noted, never
spoke to any of his follow prisoners.
Whenever an opportunity offered he
vigorously asserted his innocence. And
at length day arrived when this was to be
acknowledged. A few weeks ago one of
the other five avoved on his deathbed
the guilt of himself and three of those
condemned. AS to Gillen, he said,
he had nothing to do with it; we knew
nothing whatever OF him, before or
after" The government has ordered
Gillen to be discharged. He refuses a
pardon, and insists on his sentence being
reversed.

The Moons Speed Increasing.

1t may not be known to the world in
general that the moons speed is increas-
ing. Astronomers call the phenomenon
secular acceleration, and the fact has
been considered an established one ever
since astronomy took rank as a science.
Ancient observers, like Ptolemy, fixed
the acceleration at ten seconds in CEN
t,lry, and the estimate was considered
accurate by succeedin 6 observer Mod
ern astronomers have found reason for
doubling the accepted estimate, and Pro-
fessor Newcomb has made elaborate re-
searches into the matter. He communi-
Gated the result of his labors at the re-
cent meeting of the Academy of Sciences,
and proves by his data that the rate OF
increase is only six seconds a century.
As this is but six e-hundredths of a
second in a year, we need not borrow un-
easiness through fear of any disastrous
results during the lifetime of the present
inhabitants of the globe.

Fashion Notes.

The clingiug, slender style is the rage.
Drapery of all forms worn quite low
down.
Paniers are no longer fashionable. not
even small ones
The mirello sack is Just the garment
for travelling wear.
The shawl-shaped tichu will evidently
be quite favorite
The charming fichu having point in
the back is much admired.
Fichus with long pointed fronts tied
over the breast are q la MODE.
The italian collarette made OF valen-
ciennes lace is very handsome.
A rich collarette composed of shells
made of lace is exceedingly dressy.
Neck garnitures arranged in crepe
lisse are soft and pliable in wear.
Lace footing forms lovely finish for
the neck Of full dress toilet
Half handkerchiefs of silk, richly trim
med with lace, are quite the rage.
In regard to trimmings, fashion has
given wide latitude. The styles are so
confined to what may be called individu-
ality, that there is no standard, and yet
a sort of uniformity in expression is OBJ
served.
The rage for India galoons still con-
tinues, and will evidently figure very
largely for at least two seasons. There
is quite a large variety in this form of
dress establishment some is grave and
much is quite gay in style. The prices
are also varied none is very cheap, and
and none is very high.

4 Nevada Court.

The following are the ceremonies in-
cident to a term Of court in Churchill
county, Nevada: The Judge arrives at
the county seat, puts mp his team and
sends an Indian runner in search of the
sheriff and county clerk. The sheriff
and clerk arrive, and the sheriff, standing
up in his stirrups, proclaims: "Hear
ye, hear We, hear ye; the district court
of the Fifth judicial district in and for
Churchill county is nov OPEN" Then
the Judge bitches up his team, gets into
his buggy, and says: "Mr. Clerk, this
court stands adjourned for the term "
Then the sheriff and clerk and the Indian
sit down in the sagebrush and play In-
dian poker, and the Judge bids them a
pleasant good-bye and drives off.
