VARIOUS RUMORs

VARIOUS RUMoRs.
St. Petersburg, May 20 while there is
every reason to believe the foundation Of an
arrangement has been laid between the
cabinets of London and St. Petersburg, q
small group Of persons who know what has
occurred MAINTAIN extreme reserve, and 1t
is extremely difficult to say how far the
various rumors are to be relied on
THE sTRlKERs.
London, May 20.-The Lancashire strike
districts have become comparatively quiet
There has been no rioting there since
Friday night. Everybody is looking hope.
fully for q settlement. The Oldham oper.
atives have resolved to submit TO a ballot
the question of resisting the proposed re-
duction of five per cent. The card room
operatives there have already accepted the
reduction, at the same time expressing the
hope that the employees will advance their
wages when trade revives. An unconfirm-
ed report is current 1T Blackburn that the
military at Cltheroe, Lancashire, fired ON
mob Of striking operatives. Blackburn
is greatly agitated and renewal of riotous
proceedings lie feared. The spinners have
resolved to reject the proposition TO resume
work on Alderman PIcker's terms
MOVEMENTS OF scHouvALoFF.
Berlin, May 20.-Count schouvalofi' ar.
rived here this morning. He was received
by the Emperor at noon. He will proceed
for Friederichsruhe to see Prince Bismarck,
and will subsequently, continue his journey
to London.
DON'T MEAN ANY HARM.
Russian official papers reiterate the state
ment that the movem. nts Of the army before
Constantiuople are not hostile or menacing.
A Pera correspondent says, this is becoming
the general conviction there though Thurs
day and Friday the movements caused a
regular panic. The same correspondent
also says that the strength and organization
of the Turkish army is now such that a
prudent general like Todleben would hesi-
tate to attempt coup-de-main while his rear
is harrassed by the Phodope insurrection.
PEACE PROSPECTS.
Constantinople. May 20.-Prince Laban-
off Rut tsian ambassador, to-day gave a re-
ception to the resident Russians, and in a
brief address expressed strong hopes Of
peace. He however recommended not to
be too sanguine, as the situation was still
one Of great tension.
lNCREDULoUs BERLIN.
London, May 20.-Uneasiness is felt at
Vienna about the prospect of an understand.
ing between England and Russia. Thie
feeling is not shared by the ministers, who
are thoroughly convinced of England's good
faith regarding the European settlement
Berlin seems incredulous about an amicablc
arrangement.

months ago. It is all for your sake, my
| love and you cannot be so unkind as to
refuse to cheer and inspire me in my new
endeavor. You did not save my life to
make me wretched, did you, Susy2'
Overcome by her affection and his earn
est pleadings, Susy promised ali he asked

of very quiet wedding.
For year they shared contentedly to-

brought them comfort; persevering
thought and labor brought them hope for
the future; and their true, strong love
always forbearing and never regretful-
brought them happy peace.
It was on the anniversary of their bridal
day
Are you happy, dear! Have you any
thing to regret?" asked Susy, as she bent
over her husbands chair and threaded
caressingly his auburn-red curls with her
tender fingers.
81 am more than happy, my wife; am
grateful to God for you and for this new
life that, believe has made me better

AS he spoke, small sealed package was
brought up to them.
From my uncle he observed, noting
the scrawling address.
They had not been friends since Agler-
mons second marriage. The old gentle
man had been pleased to stigmatize his
nephew a" Quixotic fool, and the world
was mostly Of the same opinion.

There was bur little more Of this con-
else aud direct epistle; but there were
tears in the husbands eyes as he clasped
in Susys shell-like ears and about her
lovely neck and arms the precious jew

said, Money is potent, but love is ON

The Record Of BMster--A Sled That Has
Broken Four Le0s.
Virginia City Chronicle. |


Notwithstanding the frequency of acct
dents the mania for coasting continues I'M
abated, and each night the steep cross streets
are blocked with men, women and children
sliding down the hills. Last evening, about
O'Clock, Levi Bicknell, ex engineer at the
Joe Scates mines, and Schuyler Lancaster
started on ride down Washington street Oh
a sled known as the Buster, the largest and
swiftest in the town. Presently they began
to overhaul small boy sliding just ahead.
They turned out to avoid running over him,
and the big sled went crashing into the side
of building on the corner of Washington
and N streets. Lancaster escaped without in
jury, but Bicknell was knocked sense
less and sustained a compound fracture of
the right leg below the knee. The side of
the building was also crushed in. The sled
had an unexampled record. It is said that
it has broken four legs this season and
nearly dozen last winter.
At about the same time, boy named Ed.
Stein ran his sled into another just in front
of him. The pilot of the latter vas sliding
face down, kicking vigorously with his
heels, and STEMS face came in contact with
them. Result couple of front teeth
knocked out and his nose split.
Miss Maggie Timmons, a young lady en-
ployed in Madame Loryeas millinery estab-
lishment, also met with a severe accident on
Washington street, about 10 o'clock last
evening. The sled on which she was riding
flew the track. upset violently, and broke her
thigh-bone

Kansas City Times.1

4 Mile on Horseback Orer the Ms~~ouri
River.
kansas City Timesl
One of the most remarkable escapades of
modern times IS that of Henry Johnston, of
Clay county, who made swim over the Mis-
souri, river from Kansas City to Harlem. 1t
was the reckless and daring event of the age.
The Missouri river, opposite this city, is
about half mile in width, and quite rapid.
inasmuch as it whirls rapidly against the
rocky bluffs at this point after having rolled
restlessly from the mountains two thousand
miles above. 1t is one of the worst curves
IN the river, and one of the last places which
would be selected to ferry the river onihorse-
back.
1t was about midnight when the stranger
rode to the river bank near the bridge. He
was full of whisky and quite loud in his ex-
clamations of disappointment when he was
Informed that the ferry boat was not run
ming.
He rode from the bridge to point on the
river just above the first pier, and plunged
into the current of the Missouri river OPP
posite Broadway. It was not dark, for the
moon was visible, and the shouts of the reck-
less horseman as he urged his horse attracted
the police and the night watchmen. The
current was SO rapid that the horse and rider
made little progress across the river until
after the crib of the swinging span had been
passed. There was nothing to be seen ex-
cept the head of the horse and the head and
shoulders of the reckless rider; these could
be seen on the surface of the current as it
fioated by. The horse and rider disappeared
from this side long before any notice was re-
ceiyed that either had reached the Clay coun-
ty shore. But "blood will tell,' and the
mettle of Johnston's horse saved it's drunken
masters life.
About one o'clock Harlem was aroused by
cries for held on the river bank, nearly OPP
posite the school house. A man and horse
were found mired in the mud on the river
bank, and help was wanted. The river
bank at that point is slough of mud just
now, and the tired horse and its soE cred rider
were helpless and waiting for assistance.
Horses and ropes were brought, and, with a
united effort of the citizens of Harlem the
| reckless horseman and his brave animal
were taken from the river. It is the worst
case of mental alteration on record. John
ston is at home, under care of his friends,
but he will live in history as the man who
swan the Missouri river in 1nid-winter OIL
horseback.

A solitary lady was going up on Cass

ieved all the world at peace, when man
with handkerchief bound around his head

He was off the car by that time. He stood
in the middle of the street, and as the car
started he turned his head in and hoarsely
shouted

The driver made for him, and he retreated
to the curbstone. When the car started

Algernon Heath stood directly in its

"My little girl,'' said the voice Of her

love will bling us more happiness than

Business IIaxims.

Be silent when fool talks.
 Caution is the father of security.
 Great bargains have ruined many.
 Creditors have excellent memories.
 Tine sleeping fox catches no poul- try.
 Never take back a discharged ser want.
 Never speak boastingly of your business.
 Do not waste time in useless regrets over losses.
 He who pays beforehand is served behind-hand.
 No man can be successful who neg lcctS his business.
 Word by word Wcbster's big die tionary was made.
 If you would know the value of a dollar try to borrow one.
 Speak well of your friends-of your enemies say nothing.
 Give foolish talker rope enough and he will hang himself
 An hour of triumph comes at last to those who watch and wait.
 Ifyou post your servants upon your affairs they will one day rend you. It is hard for the hungry man to wait when he smells the roast meat. Do your business promptly, and bore not a business man with long visits.
 Never fail to take receipt for money paid, and keep copies of your letters.
 Law is a trade in which the law yers eat the oysters and leave the eli cnts the shells.
 Systematize your business and keep an eye on little expenses. Small leaks sink great ships.
