A the same instant a slight noise was
heard in the women's gallery below, and
as some of us bent over to ascertain the
cause, we saw one of the bamboo ratings
torn from its fastenings and light figure
fill the opening and leap lightly to the
ground. 1t was Numah, a nautch girl,
whom the king had just bought from the
dishonest nautch walah, with whom she
had agreed to dance for a certain time
Her home, her lover, were now lost to her
forever, and she sought to save the poor
mans life at the cost Of her own.
The king saw her as soon as any OF us
and an expression of terror crossed his
face, but Immediately gave way to fero.

her intentions.
Arrived within arms length of him
Numah sank upon her knees, crossing
her arms and oowing her head as IN SUBJ

A silence like death reigned through
out the place, broken at last by the graf
ing sound of the horses hools, as cauti-
ously moving them, he approached her
step by step, and finally stood directly
over her, his head grazing her shoulder,
while nostril, eye and ear were evidently
alert to satisfy the mind of their master
Ma halla he will not hurt her, ex-
claimed the king; and indeed the man
eater had no intentions of so doing, for
he was now resting his chin on the girl S
shoulder, and whinnying with satisfac-
ton.
Numah, more surprised than any one,
raised her head, looked in the eyes of the
animal, rose cautiously to her feet. and
laid her hand upon his name. The man
eater whinnied again and rubbed bis
head against her shoulder.
An irrepressible burst of applause filled
the royal gallery, raised by the European
spectators. After an lnstant's hesitation
it was joined by the king.

Capillary attraction in the soil-Mr
Armsby's studies on relation Of soils to
water, at the Connecticut Experiment
Station, have proved that the most i'm
portant feature III evaporation is capili-
arity; that is, the rapidlty with which
the soil permits water to rise in it to
supply a deficiency at any point, and
hence to keep up supply to be eyapo-
rated from the surface. In general, the
finer the soil the greater the capiliarty
down to a certain degree Of smallness of
particle 1t IS, OF course, that the pores
may be so small as to retard the motion
Of the water As regards texture, close
packing would, like greater fineness, tend
to add capilarity, until the pores become
SO small as to retard the flow. In loose
sol. great deal Of water may evaporate
from points below the top. Commonly,
tie looser the soil is the more surface
will itexpose TO evaporation.

No party was ever moro thoroughly
pledged to accomplish q given thing
than Is the Democratic party to elect

campaign, from the first speech of
Gov. Hendrix to the last ballot thrown
on election day, was fought on that

Senator Thurman yesterday wrote
to the Ohio Democrats, who will as

not be with them. He had been Sc
lccted to speak Oh "Jackson Dcmocra-
cy." No one could have done tho
subject more complete justice. 1t is
to bc-regrctted that the Senator felt
compelled to decline, especially as tho
deciination must probably be taken as
showing that ho will pcrsistcntly re-
fuse to be tho Democratic candidate
for governor Of Ohio.
The decision made on Monday by
the Supreme Court, in polygamy
case from Utah, is blow to the sur
yiying "twin relics of barbarism" Of
which we heard 80 much twenty
years ago. 1t is to the effect that the
laws Of the United States, forbidding
polygamy in tho territories, are con-
stitutional. One Reynolds contracted
q marriage in Utah aginst the anti
polygamous laws Of tho United States
made for such cases. Prosecuted
therefor, and the decision Of the lower
court being against him, he took the
case to the Supreme Court OH appeal.
The effect of the decision can but be
great and important on tho relations

The Fight in 1880.

A prominent Republican, whose
name is not given, tells the New York
UtraM correspondent that Grant will
bc the nominee of that party in 1880,
because he is a necessity. "We may
not be able to elect any man," says
this candid statesman, "but We ocr-
taiiiiy Cannot elect anyone except
Grant. The Democrats have but few
mon who could carry tho country
against Grant. can think of only
three, Bayard, General Hancock and
Randolph, Of New Jersey. With cith-
cr of these they can win, in my judg-
mcnt, and don't know of any one
else they have" Republican hopes
are centred chiefly in the belief that
the Democrats will blunder, as they
have so often done before.
The trouble is not, as this Ropubli-
can claims, that the Democratic party
has not brains enough to go straight,
but because it has no recognized
leader. Every Senator and Con-
gressman strikes out q course for
himself, and when one blunders, tho
whole party is made to bear tho
blame. Werc they but half as well
drilled rs tho Republicans they would
capture the government without any
trouble. 1t is to be hoped that pru-
dent counsels will prevail for the next
two years, at least. In order to sue
cccd it is necessary not to frighten
the capitalists who control the sinews
Of war, aud who are naturally prone
to go for Grant. It took Andrew
jackson with all his ability, stub
bornncss and prestige eight years to
overcome the United States Bank
and it is bad tino for tho Demo
cratic party to fight the National
Banks now. Its policy should be to
mako no enemies until it is firmly
intrcnchcd in power. Then it car
turn its attention to tho banks if il
thinks them dangerous. This is moi
an opportuno time to open new
financial issues. Let us fight 70,
constitutional liberty. That is al
issue broad enough, and one tha
should win. Let lis beat Grant. II
is necessity.

lie had served several years most
acccptably, but declined a reelection
to the iorty-sixth Congress. At the
same time the report comes that Alex
Stephens, who was reported rs dan
gerously i'll on Monday night, has
recovered and will be in his scat in a
few days. Previous to his recent
attack Mr.. Stephens had been contin-
cd to his room for weeks from the
effects Of a fall which came near kill

brink of death oftencr than all the
rest of the leading men Of the coun-

seen half a dozen hale aud hearty
Congressman die. The only possible
way of accounting for this mystery is
that "thc Hon. a. ii. Stephens takes

colleagues didn't.
