A TRAMP CowED BY LADY.-The auda-
city of the nomadic rapscallions generally
known as tramps has often been illustrated,
but for pure impudence and brutality few
exhibitions have ever exceeded the act of a
vagrant who recently turned up at Athol,
Mass. In the course of his tramp through
the town this ruffian entered the residence
of young married lady, whose husband
was at his place of business, and applied for
food. His request was granted, and sub
stantial lunch placed before him. After
eating the lunch he demanded some money,
and the lady refusing to comply with that
demand, the ruffian showed his true colors
by threatening that he would take what he
wanted any way. Fora moment this threat
frightened the lady, but when the fellow,
thinking to frighten her still more, picked
up her little baby and threatened to
dash its brains out against the wall, mater

A JILTED GIRL KILLS HER RIyAL.-A
tragic affair occurred between 10 and II
o clock Wednesday night, on the main ave-
nue. of the ridge, near the premises of Capt.
Arthur Bailey. A negro man-whose
name we can not lcarn-had been paying
attention to Elsie Polite, girl Of seven
teen, but becoming enamored Of the charms
OF Susan Lindsay, left the gentle Elsie for
the more attractive Susan, whereupon the
rejected damsel became highly incensed,
and swOre dire vengeance upon the unsus-
pecting Susan Coniiding her secret to her
friend Harriet Pridgeon, and finding in the
sympathetic Harriet willing accomplice,
the pair started forth upon their murlerous
errand. Meeting the cause of her wrath,
Elsie drew knife, rushed upon her rival,
and stabbed her in five or six places, intiict-
ing wounds from which the victim died at
half past 5 o'clock the next morning. Officer
Guyson arrested the muTcress and her
companion. The murdered girl was but
fourteen years old. Coroner Burrell sum
moned a jury, who rendered a verdict of
willful murder against Elsie Polite. with

nal instinct nerved her to unwonted cour-
age and she seized pistol from a bureau
drawer, cooked it and aimed at the ruffian's
head The fellow looked for one moment
at the shining barrel pointed steadily to-
ward him, and at the pale but determined
face behind it, and he felt that he had met
more than his match in courage. Muttering
an OATH he laid the baby down again and
literally backed out of the door, the brave
weapon every step of the way. Then, as
she told her husband afterward, she caught
up her baby and sat down for good cry,
but this little womanly reaction did not
come until she had rescued her child and
thoroughly cowed its rutiianly assailant.

He Had the Pleasure.

He had been in the habit of standing
on the curbstone, in front of the church,
after service, and waiting for his girl.
As he prided himself greatly upon his
politeness in public places, he invariably,
even after their betrothal, stepped up
to her, and, dofing his hat, requested
permission to see her home.
The first time that they went to
church together after they were mar
ried, they were unable to secure seats
together. This, however, did not worry
him. He secured a seat for his wife,
and at once sought his old quarters by
the stove, and among some of his old
cronies.
After service was over, he absent
mindedly walked out with the boys, took
his old stand on the curbstone. With
flashing eyes and glowing cheeks out
came his wife. She would have passed
him in indignant and scornful silence
had he not stepped up to her as Of yore,
and raising his hat, said: Miss L,
may have the pleasure of walking with
your
He had the pleasure of knowing that
he was very much married, when she
exclaimed:
"You idiotic fool, put on your hat
and come along"

ANCIENT AND MODERN EYESlGHT.

ANCIENT AND MODERN EYESlGHT
A curious controversy has lately
sprung up in Germany as to whether the
eye in the human race has always pos
sessed the same delicacy as at present,
and whether men at allepochs have per-
ceived colors as we now distinguish
them. DIR. Magnus, an oculist, asserts
that primitive man had only a confused
notion of tints, and even did not recog-
nize them all. Thus, the ancients only
saw three colors in the prism, instead of
the seven which exist, and the sagas of
the North only speak of three in the
rainbow. The most luminous in the
spectrum-those which act with most
intensity ON the retina-are red, orange,
and yellow; blue, indigo, and violet only
make feeble impression; green occu-
pies an intermediate rank. Well, through
out the records of antiquity only the
red and yellow, so to say, are spoken of.
According to Pliny, painters only en-
ployed those two colors, with black and
white, to produce their finest effects.
The most valued tissues were dyed solely
in red and yellow. The knowledge of
green does not exist either in Sanskrit
literature or Homer, who, in describing
the verdure of the country, uses epithets
relating to other colors. A savant, M.
Geiger, asserts that he has proved that
neither in the poems of the Rig Veda
nor the Avesta, the Bible, the verses of
Homer, the Koran, or the ancient liter
AZURE of Finland or Scandinavia, is any
mention of blue to be found. In fact,
no word is to be traced in any of them
to designate that color. Therefore some
peoples must have existed for whom YER
dure was not green nor the skies blue.
Even at this day the inhabitants of
Birmah have great difficulty in making
distinction between blue and green.
Mr.. Gladstone, whose knowledge of
Greek is we'll known, is wholly of the
opinion of DIR. Magnus. We have no &C.
casion to say that these views are
strongly contested.

An UnsOlyed Mystery.

More than five years have elapsed
since the assassination of general Prim
in the streets of Madrid, and the GRIM
inal proceedings which were then insti
tuted against certain individuals sus-
pected of completely in the crime have
dragged their weary length until now,
and threatened to continue in the same
state of languor until judges and accused
disappeared from the scene; but very
curious incident occurred few days
since in court that may conduce to
elucidate the mystery in which the affair
seems at present to be impenetrably
shrouded After few words spoken by
the Promoter Fiscal Attorney GENERALLY,
the prisoners were about to be conducted
back to prison, when one of them, Jose
Lopez Perez, requested leave to say
few words. The permission having been
granted, he stated he had for long time
waited patiently for good opportunity
to throw some light into what was at
present utter darkness, and that he con-
sidered that day as the most suitable
that had yet presented itself for the
purpose. That as far back as 1873 he
had asserted that if his personal safety
were guaranteed to him he would make
most important revelations, and that
now, before the Judge and the public,
he begged to reiterate that if he were
placed in prison in which he could con-
slider himself thoroughly protected
against any attempts ON his life, he would
reveal Northumberland secrets that
would bring to light and punishment
the real assassins of Gen. Prim. The
Judge here interrupted him with the
observation that such statements in that
form were out of order and could not be
admitted, and SO the matter ended for
the time; but such an extraordinary
declaration has naturally provoked
much curiosity, and newspapers, al
though they dare not comment as they
might if there were complete liberty
of the Press, have devoted some atten-
ton to the matter, so that the Judge
may consider it his duty to sift the mat
ter thoroughly. If the prisoner has
really anything so important as what he
limited at to communicate, one would
think he would be sure to find some
means of imparting it to the public; at
any rate, another clark mystery" has
now been added to the many which have
of late caused much sensation in Spain.

Cyprus.

Cyprus, continues the geographer, is a
beautiful island about sixty miles from
Syria, and the same distance from Asia
Minor. 1t is one hundred and forty
miles long by fifty miles broad, tapering
toward the east Olympus, now Santa
Croce, in the center of the islands, is
seven thousand feet high; there are few
rivers, and those dry in summer. The
inhabitants number about one hundred
and eighty thousand chiefly Greek
Christians. The climate is cold in win
ter and hot in summer, and there is little
rain. The snakes are vicious, the
spiders venomous, and the tarantulas
deadly. When there is favorable wind
the grasshoppers migrate from the con-
tinent and eat every green thing to be met
with. Nikosia is the capital; it lies in
the center of the island, surrounded by
mountains. Famagusta, on the south
east coast, takes the place of the ancient
Salamis. Larnaka, on the south coast,
is the residence of the European con-
suls, and the seat of trade. Cyprus is
famous for its earthquakes. 1t exports,
cotton, wine, salt, corn, opium, turpen-
tine, silk, fruit, and carobs-these latter
consist of succulent pods.

The Pleasures of Savage Life.

Tattooing, the court dress of the state
of nature, has obviously its discomforts.
But even the most ordinary processes of
the savage toilet are more disagreeable
in savage than in civilized society.
Millions of our fellow-creature shave
with stone razors. The thought is a
stupendous one, proving, among other
things, that when primitive man has an
ideal, when he thinks it is the thing not
to wear beard, his sense of duty is all
powerful, and he shrinks from no incon-
venience. Probably sharp shell makes
better razor than the edge of flint,
and bronze is, no doubt, still better
than either Yet even in the bronze
age the barbarian who would have a
smooth chin needs good deal of resolu-
ton. Travellers describe the brave
throwing himself on the ground and al
lowing tradesman to shave him almost
without groan. When the business is
done the tradesman lays down in turn
and endures the BARRIERS Office like a
lamb. Moreover, as good society often
demands sharp filed teeth, as we'll as a
clean shaven face, the agonies of the
fashionable are increased by one of the
keenest of minor torments. The dis
comforts of savage love affairs and
marriages are sufficiently well-known.
They do not greatly differ from what is
endured by civilized people who intend
to enter the state of matrimony.
