Murder in the Sfreets.

The latest murder is fragrant and horri-
ble enough but as the criminal was taken
almost in the act, sthe case is without the
element of mystery and will not retain a
hold on public attention to displacs inter-
est in the outrage on the Stewart grave.
Perhaps, however, it will attract some atten-
ton, not in vain. to the queer world Of street
murderer were part. Migrants from all
parts of,the world seem to make up the
mass of that lower life, with a preponder-
ance of numbers ins favor of Chinese first,
and Spaghlo's countrymen or Levantines
next. In that world there are many
quarrels, and they are short, sharp
and decisive-for keen pointed
knife is to be found under every jacket-not
less under the jacket of the childlike and
bland John Chinaman than under that OF
the fierce and revengeful mongrel Italians
like Spagnlo. Drake was apparentlya bully
and q violent fellow-a sort of ''boss' in
the world OF pedlers-as may be inferred
from his administering knock-down blows
as discipline to those who refused to SUBJ
scribe for the benevolent purpose OF burying
his acquaintance. As between him and the
assassin he seems to have been an aggres-
sor, for the encounter which ended fatally
was clearly only continuation of the vio-
lent one of the day before but it is doubt
full whether in this relation there is any
element likely to make the crime less than
that of deliberate murder.

over Eatfng in Summer.

The Trenton Gazette says: All
the trustworthy hygienists and med
ical authorities are unanimous in re-
commencing fruits ana vegetables as
the best and appropriate food for this
season, and that the eating Of much
meat, rich gravies, etc, is carefully
to be abstained from. And yet there
is not one person 10 ten who carefully
and intel!igently follows this advice.
In hotels and boarding houses people
gorge themselves with meats and
gravies and pastry, and wonder how
it is possible, after such 8 strengthen
ing meal, that they feel so wesk, and
shaky, and nervous, and out Of sortsl
With nothing but good bread and
butter, and saucer of fruit for din
ner the next day, the same person
would have marveled still more how
in the world such slim meal gave
him strength and elasticity Of spirits
and improved health.
Depend on it, a very large proper
tion of the physical ills of life oope
from too much eating There IS bat
little danger Of pos eating enough
The trouble with nine-teaths OF ailine
and cbronical complaining city peo

one, and when tie prosecution had
closed, the young lawyer was just
about giving up the struggle with
out an effort. Suddenly be per-
ceived in the far extremity of the
courtroom his beloved and her pa

An Underground Forest.

The authors Of the newly publish
ed book nsmed "Two Thousand Miles

derful story about the subterranean
forests which they observed on the
prairies lying near the River Coneho
in the western part Of the State

thus the story rams, though you will
see no trees, yet you will often see
tender little switch of the mesquit
shooting few feet above the ground
Now, stop at one of these and strike
az It's roots with pickax. You will
expect nothing but tender, porous
roots but instead Of these, the pick
comes in contact with q heavy, solid
body. Surprised, YOU remove the
thin covering of earth, and you will
6nd a living log as thick as q mans
leg, extending you know not how far
Exploring further around the same
little shoot. you fad many logs Of tb
same size and an infinite number Of
branches extending from them. Thus
each little twig yields you from q
quarter to q half cord of fuel-wood.
not equaled for that purpose by any
other wood within my knowledge
Thus these ,reeless plains are filled
with fuel, almost equal in its supply
10 the heaviest forest. These shoots
do not increase in size, but after ct
tanning a certain dimension, too small
to be dreaded by an urehin, they Ell
ther stand at that or die and give
place to others. The branches Of the
large roots left in the ground speedi-
" supply the loss by other roots es
large as those taken away" Vari-
Gus theories are put forward to ae-
count for the existence of these IN
derground forests, but none cited by
the narrators Of the story are salts
factory. 1t is said by some that the
burning heat Of the sun has prevent
ed the growth OF the trees above
ground. Others urge the scarcity Of
rain in the region induced the phe-
nomenon; and again, that it is owing
10 the frequency Of prairie ires, which
consume the vegetation exposed 10
its effects. But the same Influences
have nowhere else produced the same
remarkable results.

der, with his left arm extended to its
full length, not less than s., 600 pounds,
the recoil from each shot making at
least ten pounds to be resisted, while
the shots that missed were not to

The doctor stood like q statue,
from his hips down, with his left foot
advanced about six inches The up

rnANsLArroxs raon uErNE.

Thou hast passed from life, and thou knowest i
not;
The Hight is quenched in thine eyes, 1 wet;
The rose-rei mouth, it Is wan and Eere,
And thou art dead, my OR dead dear.
One summer night, myself saw
Thee laid in earth with a shuddering awe;
The nightingale aated low, dirge-like lays,
And the stars came out on thy bier to gaze.
As the morning train through the wood defles
Their litany peals up the branching aisles;
The pine trees, IN funeral mantles dressed,
Moan prayers for the soul that Is gone to rest
And as by the mountain turn we wound,
The elves were dancing fairy round;
They stopped, and they seemed, though startled
thus.
With looks of pity TO gaze at US.
And when We came 10 thy lone earth bed,
The moon came down from the heaven o'erhead.
She spoke OF the lost one. A sob, stound,
And the bells in the far-away distance sound.

AFTER THE BALL.

The moon, sinking fast to the westward-
Just delicate crescent Of light;
The breeze, as it played through the elm
boughs,
Seemed to wish Us a whispered ''GcOd
night"
Some moments We fingered in silence
AT the gate, for how often We feel
That words can at best but too family
Our purest emotions reveal,
The fairest, airiest iancies
In my thoughts to purpose was grown,
As felt a slight, tremulous pressure
OF the arm that touched lightly my own.

"How the fiddler-confound hlm-succeeded
In catching my prettiest n.y."
