Her0ism Of Montenegrin Women.

Montenegrin women have the same
passionate attachment with the men to
family ana country, and display much OF
the same valor. Goptchevitch supplies
two most remarkable examples. A sister
and four brothers, the four of course all
armed, are making pilgrimage, OF ex-
cursion to a church. The state of war
with the Turk being normal, we need not
wonder when we learn that they are at
tackled unawares on their way, in a pass
where they proceed in single file, by sew
en- armed Turks, who announce them
selves by shooting dead the first
Of the brothers and danger ously
wounding the second. The odds are
fearful, but the fight proceeds. The
wounded man leans against the rock, and
thoughhe receives another and fatal shot,
kills two of the Turks before he dies.
The sister presses forward and grasps his
rifle and his dagger. At last all are
killed on both sides, excepting herself
and a single Turk. She asks for mercy ;
and he promises il, but names her maid
emily honor as the price. Indignant, and
perceiving that now he is off his guard.
she stabs him with the dagger
He tears, :; .lom her hand, 'hty ..osc,
and she ei;:s.cs the wretch over the preci-
pice, into the yawning depth below. The
second janecdote is not less singular. It'd
ings reach Montenegrin wife that her
husband has just been slain by party
under the command OF a certain Aga.
Knowing the road by which they are
travelling, she seizes rifle, chooses her
position, and shoots the Aga dead The
rest of the party take TO fig ht. The wife
OF the dead Aga sends her an epistle.
"Thou hast robbed me of both my eyes.
Thou art a genuine daughter of Tserna-
CORA. Come tomorrow alone to the bor-
der and prove by trial which of us
| was the better WIFE" The Tsernagorine
appeared, equipped with the arms of the
dead Aga, and alone, as she was
invited. But the Turkish woman
had thought prudence the better part of
valer, and brought an armed champion
with her, who chargedsher on horseback.
She shot him dead as he advanced, and,
Selling her faithless antagonist, bound
|her and took her home, kept her as a
nurse-maid fer fourteen years, and then
let her go back to her place and people.

EXPLOSION AT MINNETONKA. =,
Propeller Katie MayExplOdes Her BOile
and Goes to the Bottom.

On the morning of the Esd, the steam
er Katie May left Excelsior MIMI on the
the east side Of Lake M,nnetonka, with
an excursion party consisting of several
prominent citizens of St. Paul and Min
neapolis and took them over to Wayzata
when they disembarked and shortly there
after the steamer started out or her return.
About one mile from the latter place and
where opposite Guilds Point, the boil,
suddenly exploded and the steamer went
almost Immediately to the bottom. AT
the time there were five persons on board,
but only two (and these badly injured)
were picked up by tow boat which went
to the rescue. These were Howard Trum-
bull, the pilot and Edgar Seamans paint
er. The killed were Capt. Charles May,
the owner of the boat; Charles H. Stod-
dard, the engineer and Albert Seamans
painter. All these were married men the
last named leaving a wife and two chill
| dren and the others wife and child
| each. All three were we'll known and
highly respected citizens. ,.,s.. ~

was 90 feet long; was owned by Capt.

Mitchell and was valued at $4,000.

Mid.Air TelephOning.

In these days of telephony some inter-
est attaches to two old-time instances of
the transmission of sounds for great dis
tances, doubtless from some peculiar cleo
tria state of the atmosphere or of the
earth. The particulars are these: On
the morning of the battle of Bunker Hill
If the traditions of few years ago uni
versal in Berkshire, Mass, be true-the
booming of the cannon on St. Charles
was distinctly heard in various towns on
the Berkshire hills. At Lee it was first
heard by a man digging a we'll, who call
ed his neighbors, and they also heard it.
In Pittsfeld it was heard by many persons,
and more distinctly by laying their ears
to the ground. Captain Jared Ingersoll,
Hosea Merrill and others often spoke of it
in their latter days to persons now or re-
Gently living. In Worthington it was
first heard by three recruits for the army
resting by the road side with their heads
upon their hands and their elbows on the
ground. The second case was in 1922,
and is related on the authority of the late
DIR. O. S. Root, physician of high stand
ing and of more than ordinary scientific
culture. On the twenty-sixth of Novem-
Der in the year named, Samuel Charles,
an Oneida Indian, was hung at Lenox for
murder, and the Berkshire Greys, Pitts
field military company, acted as guard.
At noon of the day of execution DR.. Root,
standing on the hill at the foot of South
street, in PittsMeld heard the sound of the
drum and life so clearly that it seemed
within few rods. He went to the brow
Of the hill, expecting. to see. the company
marching up the side, but, to his surprise
saw nothing, although. the sound contin-
ued. it appeared afterward that at the
moment DR.. Root heard them, the drum
and fife, the company were marching
down Gallow's hill, in Lenox, six miles
off. On the same day party fishing on
Pontoosuc lake, ten miles north of Gal
low s hill heard the low strains of music
proceeding to the place of execution, and
then the rapid march played on the return
as clearly as though within few rods.
These we'll attested cases present fair
problem for Professor Bells solution.

Canadian Crop Reports.

The Globes reports of the crop pros
poets Of that country are not very encourage
ing, and shows a decided falling off, It says:
Reports of fall wheat are generally excellent,
and more than the average crop may probably
be counted on, if no unfavorable change takes
place before the harvest which will be early
this year. Spring wheat is perhaps a shade
less favorably spoken of, and both fall and
spring wheat but more particularly the latter,
have suffered by the frost which at the latter
part of last week did very large amount of
mischief. Barley will yield smaller crop
than for many seasons. Less barley has been
sown, farmers being tempted by prospects
Of realizing high prices for wheat, and the
want of rain has been felt in the growth of the
plant The frost also affected it to some ex-
tent Barley crops will therefore be below an
average. Oats have suffered considerably
from want of rain, and will be a short crop in
many places.

The President Anxious to Visit the
South.

The President, in an interview with
Col. Heating, editor Of the Memphis Appeal,
said he was very anxious to visit the South
and meet in their homes the leading men Of
that section. He felt satisfied that the spirit
of fraternity between the sections were rapidly
gaining in strength. He thought the people
ofthe South should encourage the immigration
of vigorous and cnterprising men of the North.
The President was DESTROYS of hearing as to
the progress of education in the South, partic-
ularly among the colored people. He remem-
bcred when professors of Oberlin College,
Ohio, went South to teach negroes, wrote
back accounts of inhospitable treatment in
that section, but the accounts from there now
were of different character.

One Hslf OfNarblehead Mass. Destroyed.
A fire in Marblehead on the morning of
the 2Sth swept away nearly the entire bust
ness portion OF the town. The fire began in
the stable Oft Hathaway house, and spread
with alarming rapidity to the hotel and other
buildings. All the large shoe manufactures
but three are in ruins. These were mostly
large wooden buildings, filled with machinery
and furnishing employment to hundreds of
men and women. The Eastern railway de-
pot, six or seven passenger cars, and a num-
Der of freight cars were burned. Over forty
dwelling houses were consumed, and the oc-
cupants saved but very small portion of
their furniture, and families only the clothes
they had on, in escaping from the burning
buildings. Seventy two buildings in all were
consumed. 1t is impossible to make an esti-
mate of the loss or insurance.

THE conservative position of the Southern
Democrats in the House causes much specu-
lation. But it is easily accounted for. They
have got brains in their heads. They know
that Gov. Hayes is to be President and have
no desire to force needless quarrel with him.
Feeling that he will pursue wise and liberal
policy toward the South, that his earnest
wish is for the pacification of that unhappy
section, they do not propose to commit them
selves against the policy simply to crafty the
Northern braggarts who once led them into
trouble and then deserted them. The posi-
tion of Northern men of ability and conserva-
tive tendencies is not so easily explained.
The course of Mr.. Thompson of Massachus-
etts for example is subject for wonder with
those fair-minded men who have heretofore
regarded him with approval. His constitu-
ents have reason TO rejoice that they rejected
him last fall.

THE Shoe and Leather Reporter has these
remarks concerning, its specially, remarks
which apply with much force to nearly every
other branch of manufacturing: With the
market almost bare of stock, and dependent
for supplies on coming receipts, the true
policy is to rest contented till the leather sold
has been worked up and new wants are de-
veloped. 1t is utterly useless to attempt to
force sales, and the urging of merchandise
upon buyers who have no possible use for it
is one of the surest methods of causing de-
preston and checking business. Nothing is
accomplished by it except the defeat of the
object in view, and an injury to all parties
concerned. Already the actual wants of the
manufacturers are making themselves felt in
the market Inquiries are coming from both
Europe and home consumers, and it is plain
we shall not have long to wait for better
business. Some purchases are made from
day to day, and there is every promise of their
increase. But it would be unreasonable to
look for any rush. The prospect is that the
trade will sell in such parcels as manufactur-
ers actually need for immediate use, and ex-
perience teaches that this takes as much
FEATHER in the long run as is disposed of in
these violent spurts.

BY common consent the extraordinary per-
formances OF the Democratic majority in the
Hc cuse have come to be called circuses.
Whether the title was suggested by the num-
Der of clowns, or by the ease and celerity
with which the Democratic members reverse
their positions, or by the crack of ring-mas-
ter RandalPs whip, is not certain. Probably
all contributed. One of these circuses was
given yesterday. 1t was free show and like
all free shows very cheap. The champion
clowns, Cox and Knott, were sulky, and re-
fused to make fun for the multitude. The
ring-master declined to let the great hoop
feat be performed, and the quarrel provoked
by his refusal afforded the only entertainment
of the day. As the performance of the hoop
feat had been announced on the bills as the
great feature of the show and advertised in
all the newspapers of the country as sure to
come off on that day the audience very
naturally felt itself swindled. The promise
was distinctly made that the whole Demo-
cratic majority, over hundred in number,
would simultaneously jump through the pa
pered hoop labelled electoral bir' and land
safely on their coursers. This was not done,
and the spectators were enraged. The sym.
pathies Of the people will be with them, and
a troupe which so unblushingly breaks its
promises to amusement-seekers cannot hope
to escape popular condemnation.
