from a villains design some months
before while studying medicine at
Bellevue-what had occurred between
himself and father the day previous,
and of his determination to seek his
fortune amid the cold charities Of an
unfeeling world.
The next morning Frank took his
departure and started for Chicago.
From there he traversed the different
cities Of the Union, all the time keep
ing up a regular correspondence with
his loved one near Elmira. Finally
the letters return, the two ceased to
correspond on account of Franks
erratic movements, and for years
neither knew of the existence of the
other. Time sped along, and Marie
budded from sweet girlhood into
voluptuOus womanhood, and a short
time ago made her debut as a novelist
in a work that rapidly gained her
prominence in the world Of literature.
Frank likewise prospered, andh he, too,
has become a light in the field Of lit
erature.
On Monday last Frank arrived in
this city from Chicago, with a view of
looking after some business matters,
and registered at one of our
PROMINENT HOTELS.
The following day he entered the
ladies parlor of the hotel, attracted
thither by the dulcet sounds of the
opera of The Bohemian Girl, as they
rose from the keys of the piano. As
he was about to be seated, he noticed,
in a corner of the parlor, a lady
absorbed in her own thoughts.
For a moment he stood transfxed.
Approaching her, the lady raised her
head. A pair Of sap~phire-dark eyes,
shining under long, curled lashes, a
month red and dimpled as a baby's,
ana a mass of raven black hair-these
were what Frank Taylor saw as he
clasped Marie, his eager iance, in his
arms, the sweetest little apparition
ever greeted a lovers gaze.
In a few short weeks the merry
month of May will be here. Then the
golden throated songsters of the wood
and will make music on every bough,
,hen the merry church bells in a pretty
not far from Elmira will peal
iorth a merry welcome in cadence with
he best wishes of the many friends of
Frank Taylor and Mary Marquette in
honor of their union for better or
worse.

age gestures, aud Rowell, although he
did not finch, turned a triac pale. A
second time an officer removed the
drunken and dastardly offender, but
did not arrest him. He still led the
crowd around the central promenade,
following Rowolls progress and keep
ing up an indescribable din. A dozen
officers were within a foot of this
scamp as many different times within
ten minutes, and they heard his threats
and o%bscenity, and yet they did not
arrest him.
You English - -" said he,
I'll cut your legs off. Win this race,
God damn you, and I'll cut your heart
out. Boys, go for him let's kill this
-- of a Briton p
Finally a Herald reporter made his
way through the crowd, and said to an
officer in uniform and wearing a shield
who stood among it ::
Why do you not arrest that man ?
Have you not seen what he has been
doing 2"
What-what has he been doing?"
stammered the blue coat, somewhat
confused.
Is it possible that you don't know?
Have you been hustled around by this
crowd for ten minutes and brushed
against the fellows clothes without
knowing what is going on q?
The officer. who is fall stout and of
Of a ford complexion, blushed a beau
tiful deep scarlet, and, linking his arm
confdentally in that of the reporters,
he murmured, as he led him aside
See here, I'll make this arrest if
you say to. But-but-I know I've
got my uniform and shield on-but-I
I'm not on duty here, and it would
give me a heap of trouble. l don't
want to go down to court to-day, so |
would thank you if you would say no
more about it"
In the meantime the riot had pro-
ceeded, and at the urgent demand of
Harriman's hacker the seoundrel had
been expelled to the street. Even yet
he had not been arrested.
BY the time that this scene was over
the morning influx of visitors began.
The brutal crowd soon grew less dem
o~nstratiye, and as an offset of their
Villainy, the reputable people con-
stantly applauded Rowell and assured
him Of their respect and admiration.

WitOrPius Jx.

Many stories of the wit and fnesse
OF Plus TX have been told, hut the
following from the Fanfnlla Italy)
shows how this pOntif would wittily
e%xtricate himself from an embarrass
Ing situation. The famous danseuse
Fanny Essler went to Rome in the
early days of Plus ks pontifeate.
The admirers Of the danseuse desiring
to give her a souvenir, opened a sub
scription, which in forty-eigbt hours
produced 10000 francs,
1t was decided TO buy a crown for
about that sum from one of the best
jewellers. When about to give Il n
the danseuse, the subscribers, seized
with scruples, wanted 10 consult the
pope, and an audience was asked with
that view and which the Holy Father
willingly granted. The subscriber
who had the honor of explaining his
scruples to Plus TX, enlarged upon
the noble qualities Of the danseuse,
which mado her a very charitable and
pi0us person.
Plus TX answered 81 have no
authority to grant OF any contrary
command to give you on this subject.
At the same time it appears TO me
that you could have been inspired
with a better choice in your present.
In my simplicity as priest L always
thought that crQwns were intended for
heads aud aot for legs"
The crown wal given but f. Ess-
Ter, who had heard Of the pope's epi-
gram, distributed the value of it
through the priests to the poor of
Rome,
Plus TX having learned that part,
and some days later, meeting one Of
the subscribers to the CROWN, he said
to him:
"YOu did very we'll to give the
crown to this woman. She has proved
that she had more judgment Ia her
legs than there is in any one of your
heads"

made il warm for the Apaches under

a good many of them. During the
latter part of 1852, a regiment of Fed

and the Confederate garrison at
Tubac was at once abandoned.
Upon the departure of these troops,
what people had located also departed.
and Tubac was again left without an
inhabitant; the overland stages and all
other travel had been drawn off; grass
grew up in the streets, and all of the
adobe houses crumbled into ruins.

characteristics Of Those who Reside
In Havana.

MI. Frank II. Taylor thus writes in
Harper's Magazine for April
Havana has a very large Chinese
population. Coolies were imported
until within a few years in great num-
bers, and sold under a contract for
eight years of service. When this
period expired the coolies naturally
gravitated toward the cities, and a
nucleus once formed, soon spread,
until whole sections are now peopled
almost exclusively with these Mongo-
lians, A few of them have accumu-
lated some wealth, nearly all are ia
dustrious, but with the great mass it
is a serious question as to the proyis-
ion for even the meager food which
satisfies their idea of living. Their
young men are fond of initiating the
ways, dress and diversions of the
Cuban blood" There is something
exceedingly funny, not to say gro
tesquely pathetic, in the sight of a
Chinaman peering out from the high
est of Piccadillies, and adorned
with a stylish silk hat, a zane and Law
ender kids. These young fellows
acquire all the vices, if not all the
virtues, of this cosmopolitan city.
The Chinese, too, have their theater.
The approach thereto is through dark
and narrow streets meagerly lighted
by a sickly light here and there from
saloons and eating-houses whose signs
are in Oriental characters. A little
hole in a stone wall, barely as large as a
~stove-pipe, denotes the ticket-ofice.
Our guide, intrusted with ample
funds, thrusts his hand into the mys-
teries beyond, giving vent to a torrent
of vocalisms Enthusiastically heathenish.
The demand for the best places creates
an evident excitement in the breasts
Of the dispensers Of tickets. 1t is
clear that the boxes are in very little
use at this establishment. Thus we
find ourselves, a moment later, look
ing down in solitary grandeur upon a
mass of mixed humanity which is too
much absorbed in the scene upon the
stage TO pay much attention to our
entry. The room, quite large, is
dimly lighted by candles set against
the supporting posts, and arranged
with an ingenious disregard of stage
effects. A number Of musicians keep
up a desultory din with horns, drums,
and cymbals, It's volume of intensity
rising and falling with the action off
the play. The drama itselfculminates
in frequent well simulated acts of do
nestle violence, giving the finely
formed athletic actors an opportunity
20 display surprising agility. All
female parts are assumed BY men. 1t
is understood that the most lucrative
department Of this home of histrionic
art is to be found below the stage,
where those initiated and we'll known
TO the proprietors may indulge in the
Chinese passion for gambling.

the case, and the boys at once offered
TO initiate him into a new order called
The Cavaliers of Coveo.' He was
told that it was twice as secret as Free
Masonry, muck nicer than Odd Fell
lowship. and the cost was only 81.
In case he had the toothachc he could
draw 50 per week from the relief fund,
and he was entitled to receive $40 for
every headache, and $25 for a sore
throat.
The young man thought he had
struck a big thing, and after eating a
hearty dinner he was taken into a
store-room above the barn TO be ini-
tiated. The boys poured cold water
down his back, put -four in his hair,
swore him to kill his mother, if COM
manded, and rushed him around for
an hour without a single complaint
from his lips. When they had finished
he inquired:
Now I'm one of the Cavaliers of
Coyeo, am IL"
You are" they answered.
Nothing more to learn, is there 2"
Nothing.
Well, then, I'm going to whip the
whole crOwd!' continued the candi-
date, and he went at it, and before he
got through he had his two dollars in
i%tiation fee back, and three more to
boot, and had knocked everybody
down two or three times apiece. He
didn't seem greatly disturbed in mind
as he drove out of the barn. On the
contrary, his hat was slanted over, he
had a fresh ive-cent cigarin his teeth,
and ne mildly said to one Of the barn
boys:
Say, boy, if you hear of any cavil-
lers asking for a Coveo about my size,
tell EN- I'll be in on the full Of the
moon to take the Royal Skyfugal de-
grees.p

fussiness which they imagine ftly
marks the evangelical season. If they
give a dinner party, they have two or
three instead of five or six kinds of
wine, as they would ordinarily have,
holding that the curtailment of wine
attests humility, and that sauterne.

an evening reception was given up
