Reggars that Ride.

lct Ni'HoldS lol Juiic'1
In San Antonio, queer-looking old
town in Texas, the streets are narrow,
winding, unpaved and lined with low,
thick-walled stone houses, having earthen
floors and fat roofs. On some of the
roofs bright flowers and feathery grasses
wave. Along the streets ride beggars
mounted on shaggy little donkeys, and
looking all around for some body to give
them aims. These fellows are great
brawny Mexicans, with fiery black eyes
which have a guilty look in them and
are very quick to catch sight of money.
If you toss coin to one of these beggars
nothing less than five cent piece will
do-he is sure to catch it in his hat, and
from there it will be slipped into some
pocket in his ragged clothes. Then he
will grin, touch his replaced hat, and
ride staidly on. ...
His home, which probably is in the out,
skirts of the town, is called "jackal,
and is built with upright posts, stray
boards, bits of cloth, and all sorts of ma,
terials, and thatched with straw. 1t con.
tains but little furniture, yet shelters
heaps of sweet-potatocs, garlic and red.
peppers.

Julia A. Moore, the Sweet Singer of
Michigan, is preparing poem in honor
of the one-huudredth anniversary of the
birthday of her famous namesake

done to abate the splendor of their en-
dowments.
Lavinia Goodell desired to practice as
lawyer in Wisconsin, but Chief Justice

THE DEATH PENALTY.

The result of four years abolition of
the death penalty in Switzerland has not
been satisfactory to the people of that
country. Crimes have increased at a
fearful rate and especially that of muir
der. So fearful has been the increase of
the latter crime that over thirty thou
sand people have signed petition to the
Federal Council begging that body to re,
enact the death penalty. The anti-capi.
tai punishment people claim that this in
crease of offenses is not traceable to the
abolition of the death penalty, but to the
large increase of poverty and wretched
ness of the past few years.
The Council after a full investigation
conclude that on these grounds fou
years experiment is insufficient to tes
