Enchnnaed for q Dog.

Mr.. Layard, the English Charge
d'Afaires at Constantineple, is the sub
ject of romantic anecdote in Figaro.
1t says that when he was twenty years
old and lounging through Messpotamia
he was captured by an Arab tribe and
made the chiefs cook, in which position
he was greatly admired, and called by
the women of the tribe I" the blue-eyed."
He did not enjoy his slavery, and after
a while managed to communicate with
his friends, and at the end of good
deal of talk the Arab chief consented to
exchange his prisoner for greyhound,
celebrated in that country for hunting
gazelles. His first halt on his return to
civilization was at the encampment of
Botta, who had been making longitude
nal excavations, and to his despair with
out result. Layard was struck by a
clever idea-to cut transversely. This
was done, and Nineveh was discovered.
That happy thought decided his voca-
tion-he became an arcbeologist. "The
only memory 1 don't like" says Layard
gayly, is that was once exchanged fol
a dog. My only consolation is in the
fact that a Selongui greyhound is con
sidered by Mussulmans as an especially
noble animal"

MPerfectIu Responsible p,
TERRA Haute Saturday Evening Mail. ]


One of the most trying creditors that
our business men have to deal with is
the man who is perfectly responsible"
None but the merchants and the build
ers, and the contractors know of the
large number making up the class we
are referring to men who have got
property together, and are entirely able
to pay their debts, and for that very rea-
son ought to pay them; but who actually
make their responsibility a reason for
not paying. "Ain't perfectly respon-
sible2" they ask. Of course that's why
you trust them-you think them respon-
sible and therefore you expect them to
pay when your bill is presented. But
they don't do it and appear to beofended
at your feeling disappointed; for are
they not perfectly responsiblef" Ger
tainly, certainly; but then what is the
good of a mans responsibility" if he
doesn't pay? That's the puzzle. A man
WHO'S not perfectly responsible "-who
has no real estate, no property-is the
man who is expected to pay on the nail,
while his more prosperous fellow citizen
is to be trusted an indefinite period.
This seems rather an upsetting of the
true state of things. 1t is not much sat-
isfaction to young man who has just
started in business, and needs to keep
his capital we'll in hand, to be told that
his customer is perfectly responsible"
which too often means, if it means any
thing, that he is man who can be sued,
and after a tedious delay, and much
trouble, and the recovery of a judgment,
can be forced by the constable or the
sheriff to pay what he ought to have paid
in the first place. The verbal promise
to pay of the wealthiest man in town is
not so valuable to the young merchant
as the poorest customers cash in hand.
If you are perfectly responsible" good
sir, it should be your first duty to pay
your debts promptly.

scissors points between the flannel
leaves, scolio'ped and embroidered, and
faded silks, which had once boasted all
the colors of the rainbow. Suddenly he
uttered an exclamation, and in the same
instant Milly dropped the scissors.
"Grandmamma, there is money here,

Grandmamma Kirke smiled serenely.
Chow many, Melicent?"
"Ten, grandmamma."
"Yes, yes, thought So" said the old
lady, nodding her head. cts all right.
Take them, Frank, and spend them as
you and Milly please; they are the old
grandmamma's gift"
"Ten thousand dollarsI" cried Millv.
"ob, grandmamma, you never told me
thisI"
Because I wanted you to depend on
yourself, my girl; but I eiways meant it
for you. Now leave n,s in quiet little
while; want to sleep"
And half an hour afterward Grand
mamma Kirke jiied.
"Ifs precious bore" said Mr.. Charles
Glare, Whe1 the strange story reached
his eaIs, as it was not long in doing, of
cou- -ce. Blakesley always seemed to
Fave all the luck. If I'd know'd about
| the money, don't know that 1 should
have objected to the old lady"
But Grandmamma Kirke's money was
better invested in Frank Blakesley than
in Charley Glare. Melicent did not re
gret her choice.

Buytng a Picture In, Parts.

M. de ", a well-known lover of pic
lures, bought at an auction sale last Feb
ruary a fine painting by Jan Steen, the
French master. 1t was carried to his
home in the Boulevard Haussman. The
other day, about four o'clock in the af-
ternoon, a well-dressed man presented
himself at the house, aud asked to see
NJ. de ", on important business. The in
terview was opened by his saying: "Sir,
you bought that picture" pointing to the
Steen painting, son February II. l
must have it. / know what it cost you,
and l have got together enough for you
to make handsome profit out of the
whole transaction. There are seven
thousand francs. Give me the Jan Steen."
NJ. de ", astonished, explained that he
did not wish to part with the picture at
any price The stranger smiled. "Do
you wantmore for it ?' he asked. "What
sum do you demand ?" Nothing.
refuse to sell it." Positively p cab
solutely." $50 much the worse" cried
the unknown, at the same time raising
his cane and bringing its head down on
the skull of NJ. de ", who fell stunned
to the floor. When he recovered con-
sciousness the picture was gone. 1t had
been cut from the frame. Upon a stand
near him were seven thousand francs.

N0cet LQtUSuit.

North Carolina has had a novel law
suit. 1t is a popular opinion that no
American citizen ever refuses an office.
But one Aaron G. Headen, of Pittsboro.
N. c., was duly elected town constable,
and refused to serve. Thereupon the
town commissioners commenced a suit
against him, in a Justices court, to re-
cover twenty-five dollars, the penalty
prescribed by statute for declining Office.
The suit passed up to the supreme court,
which ordered Headen to pay the pen
atty and costs. A similar case was never
known in that State.
Years ago when John Tyler left the
Presidential chair, he was SO unpopular
that his neighbors in Virginia elected
him road-master, as mark of their con-
tempt for him. Mr.. Tyler accepted the
Office. In those days the road-master
was in the habit of leaving the roads to
nature, and only when they became
nearly impossible, he called out the
planters to mend them.
Not thus. however, did Mr.. Tyler dis
charge his official duties. Hesummoned
the planters to appear by gangs Of
negroes, and worked given number Of
days on the roads. Whenever storm
broke up a road, the nearest planters
were called on to mend it. Never before
had there been such good roads in that
part of the country, or so much grum'
bling heard from the planters whose
slaves did the work.
At last tthey sent committee to Mr.
Tyler, to request him to resign. "Gentle
men," he replied, 81 have made it rule
never to decline a public Office, anc
never to resign one to which I was ap
pointed"

LOT AND RE1S0V.

tToung Love went sailing without fear
Upon lotus leaf,
Though Reason said, " Pray let me steer,
Or you will come to grief"
Then laughed the saucy god and cried,
You look teo grum and blue,
Go walk along the rivers side,
I'll paddle my own canoe"
So Resson, plodding on the shore,
Watched loves ffail shallop floating,
And thought" Though walking is q bore,
It's very risky boating.
Halo young imp, you will be wrecked,
Your bark is very frail."
But Love sang gayly, 81 expect
To have jolly sailI';
Keep off the rocks and catarst:ts,
They oft beguile stranger"
Quoth Love" A truce to stupid facts
Irather like the danger.
The stream is smooth, the sky is clear,
You need not come to measure
The crystal deeps through which steer,
Ny pilot shall be Pleasure ~
On with the tide did Cupid drift,
His hand at Reason kissing,
To where those sun-Ht waters swift
Swift down the rocks went Kissing;
A warning scorned, a danger spurned,
Of which he saw no token;
Loves lotus Leaf was overturned,
His fairy rudder broken;
The gossamer sail WIS torn to strings;
He seized on Pleasure, crying,
"Come let us rise Though drenched my wings
They're light enough for flying.
From yonder bark-to ruined whirled-
We shall escape in season.
III fly With Pleasure through the world,
And leave my wrec Ks to Reason"

ARABIAN, the village which the Rus
slams have captured, was formerly town
of about three hundred houses, but be-
ing destroyed by the Russians in 1855,
it now contains a smaller population.
1t is situated southeast of Batoum,
about two-thirds of the distance from
that place to the eastern frontier, and
near the northern frontier. The houses
are mostly under ground, method of
construction adopted on account of the
severity of the climate. Ardahan is a
kaza of Olta, and seat of mudir. At
the time of its capture the fortress was
dismantled by the Russians and the guns
taken away. 1t was, however, refortifie =,
by the Turks, and being commander by
neighboring heights was a atror. = posi-

Uttifstng the There's.

A lady. closely veiled, hired, not long
ago, in the suburbs of Duna, a Russian
city on the River Dumburg, carriage,
and dumping box securely corded into
the vehicle, ordered the driver to stop at
shop where, as she said, she had to
make some purchases. The driver stop
ped and waited; but the lady did not re-
turn. Then he asked the shopkeeper to
allow him to leave the box. Permission
was denied, but on consultation, the
box was opened by the two men, when
the body of an infant was exposed. The
driver did not know what to do, fearing
that he would be arrested for murder.
The shopkeeper advised him to put the
box in the carriage, drive 10 the market
place, and leave it unattended while he
ate dinner, in the expectation thai some
one would steal the box. The driver
took the hint, aud the box disappeared.
Neither the lady or dead body has since
been heard of.

Roun,anfan Villages and People.

lJassy Correspondence Boston Journal.l
This section of Roumania between
Bucharest and Jassy, on the line of this
hideously constructed single track rail
route, is very populous. we stopped
every few minntes at villages of five
thousand, two thousand, or ten thousand
inhabitants. But what villages! VERIFY
the Russians will do we'll to begin elevat-
ing the Roumanians before they under
take their sublime mission of raising the
Bulgarians out of the depths into which
they have been thrust by the barbarous
Turk. There seems no independent
thought, no sense of energy among these
kinds. They are abased yet there is in
them the material of noble men. 1t is
simply their ignorance which crushes
them to the very earth. I was struck,
in passing long procession of water
carts on the Uhaussee, the principal
promenade of Bucharest, with the de-
graded types of the men driving the
scrubby little horses. These men were
not abused by vice or drink; they were
simply rustic clowns, completely devoid
of any knowledge of the outer world, of
their own, or the country's destinies-
good only to eat and sleep, and do their
dull round of daily work.
The villages generally consist of long
rows, interspersed here and there with ir
regular groupings of one-story matched
cottages, the doors and windows in which
are of the most primitive character
Some of these huts are whitewashed out
side, like the shanty of an Irish laborer
in America, and the window and door
frames are painted blue; but the mass
are undecorated and dirty in appearance.
The mud was so deep in some of the village
streets that the. villagers were picking
their way with staffs, trying quagmire
before they ventured to walk through
it, as they came down to the stations to
"see the train" Just above Pascani, 1
saw village the main part of which
was composed of rows of huts built
around three sides of square. In this
square there was not blade of grass nor
tree, nor any attempt at garden /;
there we're no walks, no pavements; one
dead level of stagnant mud stretched
from the door of one peasant to the door
of another peasant. In these huts, look
ing out upon this inspiring prospect,
stood the peasants with their. wooden
caps drawn down to their very eyes,
their long hair hanging in ringlets over
their backs, and their immense mus
taches permeated with the smoke from
their pipes and cigarettes. The women
we're so smothered in sheepskin cloaks,
made in ungracious form, that the poor
creatures appeared precisely as if they
had borrowed their husbands overcoats
that it was impossible to judge whether
or not they were pretty. Many of them
wear huge boots, which are, of course,
highly necessary in this muddy weather,
and to see them tramping across the
fields, one is entirely at loss as to which
sex they represent. The beauty of the
Roumanian woman has been highly
praised in song and story. Perhaps un-
der these humble thatched-roofs, and in
the midst of these muddy fields, fair
creatures are born, but it hardly seems
possible.

A PARIsIAN and his wife quarreled.
81 shall drown myself" she finally cried
out, exasperated. $50, if am all that
deters you," he answered. Still, he fol-
lowed her, and when she threw herself
into the Seine, plunged in and brought
her to land. As he was climbing up the
bank, however, he slipped back into the
river, and, being exhausted by his pre-
vious exertion, was unable to save him
self. His wife seeing his situation,
plunged in after him, but as she could
not swim, that was of no avail, and both
must have been drowned had it not been
for the timely arrival of some policemen,
who pulled them out. The pair went
home like two turtle doves.

A GAY young Widow of Baltimore the
other day gave. out that her sister was
dead, and, accordingly, the house was
darkened and no one presumed to intrude
upon. the afflicted widow. Several days
elapsed but there was no funeral. Finally
the landlord went to copdole with his
tenant, but had to climb the back fence
to gain entrance to the premises, which he
found totally deserted. The afflicted
widow was in arrears for rent, and under
the protection of black Grape and dark
ness had carried off her household effects
to parts unknown.

Ho,o Ned Caught a Robber.

n SOou many years dSO, 1uo idHily VI
a country storekeeper in Eastern Mary
land, having on one occasion a houseful
of Company to lodge, sent their two
boys to spend the night at the store.
The elder of the two was smart lad of
sixteen, named Ned. They made up
snug bunk behind the counter, and were
much pleased with their new quarters.
What happened afterwards, the younger
brother tells in recent number of the
Missouri Republican:
We soon talked ourselves to sleep, and
had been sleeping perhaps for several
hours when we were awakened by a
grand crash of some description, and l
was prodigiously frightened.
"What is that, Ned ?' 1 anxiously
whispered.
"Hush, lie stillp' he replied, as he
raised up and lisened intently. Two or
three crashing blows on the window
shutter with some heavy implement left
no room for doubt on the mind of any
person of even limited information as to
the nature of the sounds.
"What is it, Ned 3' I reiterated.
81 think it is robbers trying to break
in," he replied.
l had read little about robbers
principally Italian bandits-and the word
psqa meaning to my ears full of horror.
I thought of nothing else but bein
gagged and carried off to cave bound
hand and foot, and being subjected to
all sorts of barbarities. Terror nearly
oyerpowered me in the darkness and
stiffness when every sound in nature
seemed hushed except the occasional
crash on the window. and the loud beat
ing of my own heart, every pulsation of
which sounded to me like the blow of a
sledge-hammer, and when my brother
rose to go toward the window which was
being so rudely assaulted, 1 would have
screamed had not my voice been par
alyzed by fright.
As Ned advanced towards the window
7 listened with suspended breath to dis
cover what wsuld happen. He had
scarcely got in front ofthe counter, mov-
ing softly and silently, when the robber
got the window-shutter open and found
the sash already raised, the season being
warm.
Just beside the window stood barrel
of tar on end, with the head out for con-
venienee of dispensing it, and as the rob,
Der, after pausing moment TO learn il
all were quiet, had balanced himself
across the window-sill in climbing in,
Ned scooped a handful of the tar and
suddenly smeared it over the marauder'i
face and eyes. The intolerable smart tc
his eyes from the acrid and penetrating
stuff caused the robber to utter a shrill
cry of pain as he fell to the ground out
side of the window, where he lay writh'
ing in pain ard unable to make even an
effort to get away. An outcry soon
brought plenty of people to the spot and
he was carried off to prison.
Ned got a good deal of credit for hi
GOODNESS in the emergency and for hi
shrewd plan of capturing the burglar
but he disclaims any merit as to ths
latter, saying that in feeling round fol
some weapon with which to strike th'
fellow, be accidently ran his hand int
the tar, and just happened to think wha
a good joke it would be to dab it into hi
face and eyes, without any thought as tt
what the result might be.

THE Arizona Indians have weakness
for cremation. Among them when a
husband and wife get at that point where
in a civilized land separation in bed and
board is considered desirable, the grand
council of the tribe sits on the case and
condemns the couple to be burnt to-
gether. When, moreover, mother dies
in childbirth, the ofspringis is burnt alive
on its own responsibility. No mission
aries.

AN Oriental diplomatist writing in the
New York Times says the policy OF
Alexander of Russia is not the policy of
Nicholas. The spirit of the govern
ment of Nicholas was repression, that of
Alexander is development. Nicholas
wanted to occupy Constantinople; Alex
ander is only anxious that the Turks
shall hold it no longer. Nicholas sought
the annexation of all the European
Turkish provinces; Alexander only
wishes to disintegrate the sultan's en-
pire by aiding the provinces to becom
independent states.
