into their heads and kick them with
hob nailed boots in the sides. The
leader of the team took upon himself
to protest against this extreme meas
ure. He turned round, seized the
carriers arm with his teeth, tossed hum
to the ground. and irampled him with
his hoofs; then he seized him again with
his teeth and tossed him about. The
crowd and the police, which had looked
approvingly on while he tortured the
horses, interfered for the protection
OF the human monster, who was with
great difficulty torn bleeding and
mangled from the just equine resent
ment. He is justly punished; but surely
some penalty should be inflicted on the
railway company which sent out this
heavy load of coal to be drawn uphill
by three horses, when twice the number
would have barely sufiiced for the
work. The carter has paid his penalty;
let theirs now be inflicted. Why should
not the police be armed with fnll power

Curious Story About an Old Picture.


After the death of the late Silas Leon
ard, Ed, his personal effects which
were not divided among his heirs were
sold at auction by the veteran auction
eer, Geo. w. Jones. Among the rest,
a dilapidated picture was put up, but
received no bid. Mr. Jones said to the
clerk: "Put it down to me for 81 90"
tie put it on his shelf among other
traps in his store, and it lay there six
months, when two we'll dressed and
we'll appearing gentlemen came in to
purchase old relics. Mr.. Jones told
them he did not have any on hand at
present, but there was painting he
thought WIS old enough for anything,
and they took it and looked it over,
front and back, then asked the price.
Mr.. Jones told them So. After a few
minutes hesitation they thought they
would take it. They then asked Mr..
Jones where he got it. He told them,
and they then told him their story.
The picture was one of line of his
torical paintings, having the artists
name engraved en- the back upon cop
per, and was a missing one they had
been in search of for some time. They
knew it was in the country somewhere,
and began in New York, but all they
could find there was that it was bought
at auction by some one from Maine.
Then began the hunt; they visited
Portland and all other cities west Of
here; got as far as Gardiner, and were
told Mr.. Jones, of Augusta, kept old
relics, and the hunt ended. They were
very cautious III their movements, but
the finale was they sold the picture for
81 $40 in gold, when it was 20 per cent.

A FIGHTING TAR.
The American Sea Captain Who Cleaned
out the Queens ''Navee."
Boston Times.

Boston Times.
We have recently heard an interest
ing anecdote by which one can de-
duce novel and adjourn it into tale,
of how second thought SO often pre-
vents vast complications. There is a
Yankee skipper from Maine, well
known as coal trader, Capt. Pitcher.
He is like most Maine men, largely
proportional and powerful. Some
years ago he ran the Kranz from
Washington to Boston, but has been
abroad since, trading between this
country and the continent. As the
story goes, British troop ship, COM
manded by an irritable, impetuous old
duffer Of the queens "navee," was at
anchor in a foreign port. Captain
Pitchers bark was being piloted IN, and
through some Encouragement fouled
the jibboom of the troop ship, doing,
however little or no damage. The old
officer, in fury of rage, howled:
"Come on board, SIR"
The Yankee skipper, not exactly
knowing what to do under the circum-
stances, pulled in his gig to the ladder
of the troop ship and mounted to the
deck. He was somewhat startled when,
as he stood upon it, the old officer
called:
"Sentry, arrest that man."
The skipper was asionished, but
quickly answered: 81 am an Ameri-
can citizen. l am unarmed, but no
man shall arrest me-"
ARREST him, sentry. Don't you hear
me?" roared the captain.
The sentry advanced to seize the
skipper, but was met with a left-handei
that would discount pile-driver.
| Quickly the Yankee made for the gang
way, striking down every man who Ia
terfered, leaping into his gig, and
pulled off to his bark. Straight to the
American consul he went and put his
case before him. The latter told him
he would attend to the matter, and the
next day the skipper called. The
consul sat at the center of the table;
to his right was the English officer, no
other than Vice Admiral Sir James
Hope, K. G. b., in all the splendor OF
| full uniform.
admiral Hope Capt. Pitcher" intro
duced the consul.
Captain, l am delighted to meet
you," responded the admiral. "And
now let the war go on"
He spoke in the suavest manner, and
with the sweetest of smiles. The
skipper bluntly said that he thought
the English officer should apologize.
"Not at all; not at ali, no dear friend;
You came on board my ship, whipped
the entire queens navy, and escaped
without a scratch. Is that not sufficient
satisfaction? Don't let us have any
Alabama claim business, please don't
ask an apology; you are too good a
| fellow, / know to force it"
"Well, ADMIRAL" begun the captain,
greatly modified; "well, admiral, !
sorter guess that perhaps its all
right"
/ "Of course it is. We are diplomats,
and have some splendid brandy in my
cabin. These are excellent cigars; we
will adjourn to our brandy and cigars,
and our two nations will postpone the
war. If all of your sailors are like you l
should prefer that the var be indefinitely
postponed"

A Queer Craft for the Gar.


His Majesty the Car has ordered the
construction at Glasgow one of the
most curious vessels ever built. 1t is a
pleasure watch of some 1000 tons bur-
den, to be made of steel, and to he
driven by three bronze screws. The
lower portion of this experimental craft
will be shaped like huge fat-fsh, be-
ing almost as broad as it is long, with
sharp sides and pointed head and
tail. The imperial yatch will be exact
ly like brill, in fact, as regards contour
and dimensions. On the back of this
vast pleuro-nectid will be reared float
ing palace of halls, salons, boudoirs and
cabins, rising story above story, SO that
though the strange vessel will nowhere
draw more than fifteen feet of water
and this only when the screws are
submerged-she will tower out of the
sea high above the loftiest waves, which
are expected to dash and break in vain
against her enormous area and flatten-
ed bilges. The extraordinary model now
being put together by Messrs. Elder d
Co. is principally designed to abolish
that very uncomfortable movement at
sea which troubles Cars as well as
meaner persons, and we doubt not that
very special degree of stability will
finally be obtained. The circular
Popoffkas- though failures az men-of
war-have always proved remarkably
steady in seaway; and this prodigious
fat fsh of steel ought to ride almost as
placidly as a floating island, were it not
for that s'scend" of the ocean which no
vessel however big, has ever yet con-
quered. The Cars yacht viii carry
few light cannon, but if the design sue
ceeds, it is intended to build a fighting
craft upon the same lines. to receive
heavy marine artillery.

4 CaSi.Irnn InMn I.ens q

An Iowa landlord bound his tenant
with cast.iron leasing contract. which
provided that rents, whether due or to
become due shall be perpetual lien on
any crops and personal property of the
lessee, whether the same be exempt
from execution OF not" The legal force
OF this clause was made the chief issue
in a lawsuit. 1t was argued that con-
tract making subject TO seizure property
which the statute declared to be exempt
rom execution is contrary to public
policy. This is the first case of the kind
which has been before Iowa courts, and
the Supreme Court of that State recent
ly decided to the effect that the contract
was valid one.
