An Eastern Apologize:

Jesus, says the story, arrived one
evening at the gates of a certain city,
and He sent His disciplesforward to pre-
pare supper, while He himself, intent on
doing good, walked through the streets
into the market place. And He saw at
the corner of the market some people
gathered together looking at some OBJ
ject on the ground, and He drew near
to see what 1t might be. It was q dead
dog with q halter around his neck, by
which he appearedto have bee1i dragged
through the dirt, and d viler, a more
abiect, a more unclean thing never met
the eyes of man. And those who stood
by looked on with adherence.
"Faugh!" said one, stopping his nose;
cit pollutes the airi" Chow long,"
said another, "shall this foul beast Of
fend our sight?" "Look at his torn
hide" said a third; zone could not even
cut a shoe out IF It," "And his ears"
said a fourth, call draggled and bleed
ing" "No doubt" said fifth, che has
been hanged for thieving." And Jesus
heard them, and, looking down compass
sionately on the dead creature, Hesaid:
Pearls are not equal to the Wilderness
of his teeth" Then the people turned
to Him with amazement, and said
among themselves Who is this?
This must be Jesus of Nazareth; for
only He could find something to pity
and approve even in a dead dog" And
being ashamed, they bowed their heads
before Him; and went each on his way.

Raised His Salary.

During one of his rounds through his
palatial hotel, the landlord of the Pal
mel House, Chicago, entered a room
suddenly and discovered a window
washer leisurely engaged in reading
q newspaper. Being very active him
self, he had no use for q lazy man, or
one who Sights his work. He dis
charged his washer IN the spot, and or
dered him to go to Che Office for his pay.
The man obeyed, got his money, went
to his room on the upper floor, arrayed
himself in his Sunday suit, packed up
his buds and descended to the servants
apartment to take leave of his former
associates. About this time Mr.. Palmer
entered; but did not recognize his
%quondam employee in his store clothes.
"Here, my man, you look as though
there was good work in you; do you
want a job?"
The ex-washer, somewhat surprised,
admitted that he stood in need of one.
"Can You wash windows?"
The man allowed that he could.
"Well," said Mr.. Palmer, Give Just
discharged a man who has been doing
that sort of work. I paid him only $40
a month, but if you take the place and
go rightto work, I'll pay you 49,"
The proposition was quietly accepted
and in half an hour the discharged en-
ploye was scrubbing away in the same
old room.

A Father. Triple Crime.

A horrible domestic tragedy has just
been enacted at Bloomington, III. VIM.
HOgg, one of the most respected citi-
zens of that place, and formerly a
wholesale stationer. has been respondent
for some time past over his business af-
fairs, which, it seems, had become so
complicated that bankruptcy wasinev-
liable. He went into the room where
his daughter Mary, aged nineteen, was
engaged in packing a trunk, and
while her back wa turned, drew a re-
yolver and fired one shot, the ball tax
ing effect in the back part of her head.
i~nficting a wound which will result
fatally. He then ran out of the house
and called for his son Willie, aged ten
years, who was starting to school, and,
after the latter approached, he placed
the revolver to shoot, but the boy
broke away, and, while only a few feet
away, Hogg fred, the ball passing
through the neck back of the left ear.
The murderer then ran into a small
woodshed near his residence, and fred
the contents of the revolver, two balls
taking effect in his head, causing death
in a short time. The tragedy has pro-
duced the greatest excitement in that
city.

The Chinese Wall.

An American engineer in China has
been making a fresh examination of its
"Great Wall" The dimensions have
been given so often that we need not
repeat them; but the structure, for a
distance of 1,728 miles, is carried from
point to point in a perfectly straight
line, across valleys and plains and over
hills, without the slightest regard to
the configuration of the ground, some
times plunging down into abysses a
thousand feet deep. Brooks and smaller
rivers are bridged over by the wall
while on both banks of larger streams
strong ianking towers are placed" Per
haps the Emperor Nicholas had this
contempt for obstacles in mind when he
solved the problem of the best railroad
route between st. Petersburg and Mos

ruler between the points on the map

in responding to a fire alarm, made a

TIE report comes almost daily of a
railroad accident in some part of the
country. An accident on the Balti-
more and Ohio resulted in killing one
tramp, Chester Lynn, and seriously in
juring five others who we're stealing a
ride on a freight. Eight or ten of the
cars were badly wrecked. The same
day, on the Pittsbnrg and Lake Erie
road, a freight train was thrown from
the track by running over a COW, and
rolled down a steep embankment, in
stantly killing a brakeman, G. G. Leman,
of Youngstown. Ohio, the only support
of a widowed mother, and seriously in
juring several others. The same day,
on the DAYTON and Michigan road, above
Dayton, Ohio, a highly respected old
gentleman, named Beezom, and his
horse and wagon were ground into a hor-
rible mass by an excursion train.

terrible sensations to the country it has
been cursed with for many a day.

two-year sentence in that institution,
charges that two inmates have been

under the management of Dan. Ken
needy, who is now Chief of Police of
that city, and the other quite recently,
under the present Superintendent of the
house. They were whipped, starved,
fed on rotten food and common
garbage, and confined in a horrible
place denominated the +" black hole"
connected with the institution.
The inmates, as a common thing,
have been fed upon embryo veal and
rotten meats, and beaten, oyerworked,
and confined in the dungeon without
mercy, and without regard to law and
justice, Their bread was made of horse
