THE SISTERS OF TROsKY.
A Bohemian Legend.
FROM THE GERMAN OF THEoDoR MUNDT.
TRANSLATED for the Democrat
THB sIsTERs OF TROsKY,

Translated for the Democrat
THE SISTERS OF TRosKY.
Sauntering through the isolated parts of
Bohemia one sometimes comes across a few
old legends, which, In trepldation, as 1T were,
like all memorials OF Professionalism, have re-
manned hidden for centuries, dust4covered
and amid the archives OF long-forsaken
castles.
Trosky was queer old nest, situated about
eleven miles from Prague. Two cOnical
rocks, not far from each other, rise perpendi-
cular1y from the earth and form the f0unda-
ton Of the most wonderful OF structures.
These rocks, touching at their bases, were
bound together in their centres by massive
double wall that inclosed the castle court,
On the submits of these rocks there arose In
olden times two turreted castles. One OF the
rocks towers far above the other and thus
increases their unique and bizarre look and
lends greater probability to the following
legend:
ago two sisters, widely differing in their
views, though they had both received the
same loving mothers teachings. The one was
O HUSTLE the other Catholic. They soon
found it impossible to live under the same
roof, for they quarreled by day and by night.
Happily for them the castles on the rocks
were still In an habitable condition The high
est rock had been ehristened by the peasants
"Paena," or the Maiden, while the smaller
one was called "Baba," or the Old Woman.
The HUSTLE who was still bushing maiden,
retired to the heights of the Paena; while the
Catholic, who was a widow, chose the Bahia"
as her home. When the HUSTLE leaned from
the turreted tower, and, In clear, bird
voice, sang worldly song that echoed far
over meadow and field, the CathoNe would
pray and count her beads. When the CathO-
lie tasted, the HUSTLE would place steam
ing roasted goose at the window. When the
Catholic wept, the Hussite swOre, and when
the HUSTLE prayed, the Catholic, it is whis-
pered, - swore! The winds that whistled
and blew fiercely about the rocks often swept
away their words, and the confusion became
all the greater, since they were then in reality
speaking to the winds. Sometimes they wept
at their inability to reach from one rock to
the other and with few vigorous move
ments Of the hands settle the much agitated
question. But you have probably already
foreseen that they met with q tragical end
Well it SO happened one day, as the sis
ters were gazing from their easements, that
another religious discussion arose between
them Their excitement became intense; the
Catholic asserted that her religion alone
could lead to eternal salvation. Hearing this
the HUSTLE sister, in blind fury, leaped from
the window, melted by the hope Of getting
one vigorous pull at her Catholic sister s hair
simultaneously the Catholic, unable to con
troll her passion, flew out Of her window
They both fell lifeloss-two sisters-mangled
emblems of religious fanaticism, and even
since the clinging voices of the rocks dolefully
whisper the strange sad story Of their lives.

weighed the two considerations in the pal
ance: ] would have firmly decided which L
preferred to retain at the expense OF losing
the other--the favor OF Hayes and John sheT-
man. or the seat In the Senate-and taen !
would have testified accordingly. Ii naq

John Sherman above the seat in the Senate,

ability. Of course no one supposes that hel-
logg, with all his reputed accomplishments,
and even with the advantages OF MS
has the reputation ~ of being the
most spontaneous liar in the country,
could more than remotely initiate the weird
and picturesque perjury of that wonderful
woman, But he could at least have signiffed
his good intentions. But It. on the, other
hand, had valued the senatorial seat more
highly, should have told the truth and
shamed the devil, upset Hayes and exploded
John Sherman. You see, 1t was one Of
those trying occasions when one has to
fish or cut bait But, as / read KEEL
loggs testimony, he seems to have
done q little OF both and not quite
enough of either He has not periured him
self enough to answer the purposes Of Hayes
and Sherman, and he has not told truth
enough to satisfy the men who will sit in
Judgment upon his status as a Senator next
spring; The consequences are not difficult TO
foretell He has made the common mistake
Of men who are too ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS him
self He will probably meet the common fate
Of SUCH At alf events he will unless he should
happen to redeem himself by more candid
and truthful testimony later on. A. @. b.

A Constitutional Convention.
tvermilion Merfdional.l


1t is q well known fact to the politicians Of
this State-We mean those who assume the
role of ''the leaders Of the masses" that a
large majority of the people are in favor OF
constitutional convention. They are anxious
that the present constitution, bequeathed to
us by Radicalism, be wiped out. Of existence,
and that one be framed in it's, stead
in keeping with the time-honored prin-
ciples and reform measures Of the Dem
Ocratic party. Reforms were preached to
the people from every stump by Democratic
orators during the last campaign as impera-
lively necessary to their welfare, and the
party being now in power, the people nat
uralfy look for some of the Compromised
reforms, and as they justly view the present
State constitution as one Of the very first
evils to dispose of, their demand is that a
constitutional convention be held and that o
new constitution be framed. This Is well.
known fact to the aforesaid g leaders" and
how they expect to longer dodge this fact we
cannot tell

THE SILENT STRANGER "A stranger
sat in the corner Of the car hence to New
York, in essy attitude, his feet upon n
large black trunk The gentlemanly
conductor, going his rounds, at the first
station informed the stranger that the
trunk must be put IN the baggage car.
To which the stranger nothing replied.
AT the second station the dispeased
conductor, more decidedly, told the
stranger that he must put the trunk in
the baggage car.
To which the stranger nothing replied.
At the hIrd station the vexed conduc
tor more imperatively told the stranger
that he must put the trunk in the baggage
car, or it would be put off the train.
To which the stranger nothing re-
piled.
A. the fourth station ;he irsts conduc-
tor had the trunk put off.
To which the st-an ger said nothing.
At the fifth station the Modified con-

him to remember that he had but done
what his duty required, and that he had
done it only after repeated warnings, and
that it was solely the strangers fault.

A UNFoRTUNATE SNEEZE.-This is
queer wsstf err to sneeze in. A woman
just coming from market boarded a
crowded street car and had to stand up.
She was chewing raspberres, when the
sneeze struck her like a streak Of sun
stroke, and she vociferated cschoo
cachoo The worst part Of the whole
business was that she cachooded table
spoonful of mashed raspberries on the
top of the scalp Of little bald headed
man who had taken off his hat TO cool
hmse He hastily wiped off the dessert
with a newspaper which he had in his
hand and got of the car, looking as sad
as Nubian lion undergoing tail-twist-
ing in circus cage.
