Whenever anybody is arrested in a
Russian city the fact is kept secret,
and every body who calls at the ar
rested persons house is also put un-
der arrest. One of the persons recent
ly arrested at St. Petersburg was a
physician in good practice, and it so
happened that at the time he was
captured a child was taken i'll in a
family which he was in the habit of
attending, During the night the
child's illness became so alarming that
the father went to fetch the doctor;
bnt on arriving at the house he was
seized by the police and carried of
in spite Of his protests. The mother
waited an hour or more, and finding
that her husband did not return, went
herself to the physicians house, where
she too was arrested. Meanwhile the
child remained alone in the house,
and on the following morning il
was dead.

WHERE SHE GOT The STOCKINGS.
I0k:ia, Japan, Times. /

lAV"'"' OuP""1 AWoo'
The prettiest and daintiest of
Japanese bellies, now in Europe, was
recently discovered in partial disha-
billie by some lady visitors, who were
captivated by the effect of the neat
and closely fitting tabi upon her tiny
feet, and pronounced them, after
leaving, just too awfully nice for
anything, while the contrast between
the snowy Wilderness of the linen
sandals and the peculiar delicate tint
Of the stockings beneath was perfectly
splendid. They easily procured the
tabi, but they seaached the city in
vain for matches to the lovely hose,
The new color was evidently rare
Oriental dye, which had not reached
the marts of Europe. In their dis
appointment they went to the Japan
ese lady and explained to her that
they had set their hearts on producing
their morning negliges the same COM
bination they had noticed on her feet
and ankles. Would she be 80 kind
as to lend them one of her stockings
to enable manufacturers to attempt
imitation7 And the little lady smiled
and gracefully whipped aside her
"unwagi, nakaji and skitapi," disclos-
ing that the admired stockings were
not the product Of some .jealously.
guarded eastern loom, but the dusky,
unadorned tegument with which
nature had provided her.

dVWWWt OOW0VtWUVWs
Two strangers from the country,
who had apparently come into the
city for the purpose Of witnessing the
the firemen's display, were going out
Whitehall street Monday evening.
Both were tall and angular, and both
appeared to be carrying a schooner
too much Of beer. They paused in
front Of a policeman.
"Mister," said the oldest ofthe two;
lis you seed anything Of a cart gwine
long by here-a cart with little
gray muel pullin' Of it''
The officer was about to disclaim
any knowledge Of such vehicle;
when the evening gun at tile barracks
went off with q bang.
"Nhat'n the dignati6n's that! I"
asked one, while both looked around
to see If anything had been torn up.
"Sunset," said the officer laconically
"Sunset!" they exclaimed.

"Well, dad blame me-" exclaimed
one, "ef she was to 60 off that way at
home wouldn't the old woman an gals
git up sail ?"
The other made no reply, but
finally, after some reflection, drew
breath of relief and remarked:
"Well, if she didnt break hef egg
that time IN be durn."

rection in which to point my pistol, as
well as if | had seen you. Besides, l
could hear you breathing where you
stood. You lost your chance in de-
layingyour fire. You wished to make

More than once the Major looked
appealingly at the speakers face, but
in those remorseless, sightless eyes,
there was no sympathy. And as the
labored breathing grew fainter, the
old man resumed his listening atti-
tude. At last all was still.
"He is dead" he said; and its
wonted expression Of sober melan-
choly settled on the old pan's face,
as, taking his companions arm, he
turned and walked leisurely away.

The edge Of journalism is begirt
with innumerable aspirants. Every
man and q great many women think
that the only qualification for journal,
ism is that which is necessary in writ
ing q private letter. It is the COM
monest thing in the world for people
who have never once welded the pen
professionally to imagine that they
would make frst-class European cor
respondents for influential Journals,
It is the commonest thing in the world
for young lady who has never in
dited anything more weighty than .
note Of invitation or acceptance, to
think that book reviewing and edi-
torial writing can be picked up in q
moment. The truth is, that even in
different writing in these respects ii
not the result Of a weeks study; and
that excellent writing in any impor-
tant sphere Of journalistic labor is the.
coming consequence Of years o.
trial and development. Few things
are more sadly amusing than to watch
the dreary failures that are made. It
is hard to impress, upon those who
tremble on the edge Of journalism
that, after all, the ladder they would
climb is a steep one, with many
rungs. They will not be persuaded,
though one rose from the dead to
convince them, and sooner or later
are swallowed up in the pitiless vor-
tex Of Bohemia.

ON TIME.
lShrereport Standard.

The Constitutional Convention of
Virginia of 1850 spent eight months in
the discussion Of one question alone.
1t is true that it was a vital question,
which had been mooted for a great
many years and the discussion Of
which had been the cause of calling
the Convention together. Not only
one, but several important questions
are before this Convention and al
though no one of them, OF even all
Of them together, ought to take eight
months, or anything like that much
time, to decide them, yet they VIII
necessarily consume time if they are
decided properly. This time the peo-
pie must not begrudge their delegates,
nor do we believe they will. On the
other hand we would say to the mem
bers of the Convention that their
constituents expect them to execute
their appointed work with as little
delay as is compatible with thor
oughness. We fear that the work
will not he completed before the
sickly season shall have really caused
an adjournment. But such a thing
as a recess was never dreamed of
when the Convention was called.
Every one thought that the constitu-
ton would be framed before the sickly
season should necessitate one. We
would, therefore, remind the Con-
vention how great would be the disap-
pointment Of the people at a contrary
result.

AoAsE OF HYDRoPHoB1A.
Terrible Death Of q Little Boy !
IN. O De,Nocrat.1


Capt. H. NJ. Hinman, on Tuesday
morning, lost bis son, a bright and
intelligent little fellow, under the
most distressing and affecting circum-
stances.
Last December the little fellow,
while on a visit with his mother to
some relatives, was bitten in the ear
by large but old and decrepit dog.
The wound was not Of q serious char
acter, and as it rapidly healed hi
very great alarm regarding it was
felt, and up to Saturday morning last
there was no indication that there
was any cause for uneasiness regard
ing it.
Saturday morning, however, the
little fellow kept his bed, complain
ing Of earache. His mother, remem-
bering the bite of the dog, became
alarmed, and remedies were applied
and DR.. Bailey sent for. DR.. Bailey
said there was no evidence whatever
that the pain in the ear resulted from
the old wound, and expressed himself
satisfied that the two had no con-
nection.
On Sunday the child manifested an
aversion to water, but this was at
tributed by an attending physician to
nervousness, as the child was other
wise doing well.
Monday evening his condition ap-
peared to be considerably and mate
rally improved; but Monday night
he became worse, and his symptoms
were Enthusiastically those Of hydro
pbobia.
DR.. Bailey was sent for, but being
unable to attend on account of sick
ness, DR.. Stille was sent for and did
everything he could, but without
avail. TO alleviate the sufferings Of
his little patient, who had by the
time he arrived been seized with the
most violent commissions.
The paroxysms are said to have
been terrible to witness, and when
they were on be struggled 90 that it
was with great difficulty he was kept
on his bed. At times he would be-
come quiet and recognize those
around, and once or twice turned to
his fond and devoted mother and
pleadingly asked her to cease tanning
him, as it hurt him.
He passed a night of terrible suf-
fering, and at eight o'clock in the
morning death came and relieved
him.
The news of his death will be a
terrible blow to his father, who is out
of the city. He was telegraphed for,
and an effort is being made to keep
the body of the dead child until his
arrival in the city, but it was found
necessary yesterday to lay away the
little form forever.

THE ARABIAN NIGHTS"
[Printers' Circular.


The original author or authors Of
the "Arabian Nights" are unknown;
nor is it known with any certainty
where or when the tales were written.
1t is believed, however, that many of
them, as well as the plan of the work,
were borrowed from a collection of
Persian tales, written few years af
ter the Hegira. The majority Of them
were written, beyond doubt, either
in Persia or Syria, in about ASA.
That they were not composed pre-
yious to that time is evident from the
facts that coffee is mentioned through
out them but three times, and tobacco
but once-and these references are
presumed to be interpretations. Had
these luxuries then been in use, they
would most certainly have been made
feature in every tale. TO Antoine
Galland, Frenchman, is the world
indebted for the first translation of
the "Arabian Nights" into European
language. He was born in 1916.
Having acquainted himself with the
Oriental language, he accompanied
the French minister to Constantine
pie, and then visited the Holy Land.
In 1865 he returned to Paris with so
many rare medals and antiquities,
that he was dispatched to that coun-
try again to collect manuscripts for
the celebrated Colbert. This was in
1879, and it was during this tour that
he probably came in possession of the
"Arabian Nights Entertainments
In 1862 the tales were translated into
French, and were sread in almost
every language. The original coflec-
ton is called the stories of a "Thotl.
sand and one Nights" but thus fa1
only five hundred and ty-eight
have been discovered, and only a pOr.
ton Of these translated.

BEATING A BANK,
How a Fort Worth Bank was Beaten Out
Of a Cool Thousand.
Fort North Democrat

l.
A very respectable looking man,
who might easily be mistaken for a
retired granger, arrived in this city
early in the week and registered at
the Mansion House as ]. G. Ellis, of
Paramount, MINI. He made a very
favorable impression on the host, Mr..
Dunn, who introduced him to Messrs.
Kneeland & Harrison, real estate
agents. Ellis intimated desire to
make some purchases. Ellis init
mated q desire to make some pur-
chases in real estate, and for two days
was negotiating with them. He SEEM
ed to be very close, but represented
that he had plenty Of cash and verb
ally closed contract for one piece of
property, when he asked to be intro
duced to some reliable bank where he
would be safe in opening an account.
Mr.. *. then then took him to the City
National Bank and introduced him
to Mr.. Lomax, the vice-president.
(. He commenced his little play by
stating to Mr.. Lomax that he wanted
to draw draft on the Bank of Fair
mount, MIMI, for $4,000, desiring to
leave it with him for collection. Mr..
L. asked if they could do any more
for him. He thanked him, and said
he might drop in later in the day and
open an account, and left.
At 2:30 p. m. he dropped in again,
and desired to open an account by de-
posting an exchange draft on New
York for $4,000, which they could
place to his credit, at the same time
he wanted an advance of $1,000 to
close contract with Kneeland &
Harrison for q real estate purchase
that he had made. The cash was
counted out and given to him, after
which he remained ten or fifteen
minutes talking with Mr.. Nichols, and
asked him how long it would be be-
fore the $4,000 collection could be
heard from. He told him ten days.
He replied in an absent-minded way,
''that would be time enough" and
left. Later in the evening Mr.. L. met
Mr.. Kneeland and asked him if the
sale. had been made, and the money
paid. Kneeland replied it had not.
Mr.. L. smelt mouse for the first
time, and a search for Ellis found
him gone. He had sure enough
shaken the dust from his feet and left
his dupes to mourn his untimely de-
parture.
The exchange and draft were for
geries, as ascertained by telegraph.
The scamp is tall man, slim build,
dark hair, very little beard, has de-
lection in both eyes and wore a black
SLOUGH hat and silver chain.

A BLIND MANS DUEL.

Major BufOrd, called by way OF
eminence, the Major, was the most
noted duelist of the day. A dead
shot, a perfect master of fence, and in
his enmities utterly relentless, his
name had become a terror to all who
knew him.
In the midst of a knot of admiring
friends one day, the Major was dis
cussing his last affair, and compla-
Gently explaining how it came that
he mortally wounded his adversary,
instead of killing him on the spot,
when one or two gentlemen standing
within hearing advanced and struck
him in Che face. The spectators stood
aghast. What could have tempted
the stranger to rush thus markly on
his fate7 He was an old man. Al
ready, in appearance, had three score
and ten years passed over his head.
He must, indeed, have been weary of
life, whose brief remnant he was
ready to cast away SO recklessly.
The Major was astonished. The
very sudacity of the act struck him
with amazement.
els this provocation sufficient, or
must l repeat it 2 inquired the as
sailant.
The Majors first impulse was to
return blow for blow. But fierce and
violent as were his passions, he
schoolcd himself to complete mastery
over them, and a moments reflection
told him how bootless, under the cir.
cumstances, would be public brawl
The indignity he had received would
admit of but one reparation, and that
he determined to lose no time in
seeking.
"The insult is sufficient" he an
swered, with forced calmness. "You
will oblige me by naming friend.
And the two strangers took thei,
departure together.
At sunrise on the following morn.
ing, the principals and their seconds
made their appearance Oh the GROUND
selected. No one else was present
not even surgeon. The Major il
his own past experience, never hat
needed one; and his opponent, it wal
plain, was careless of the conse
quences.
There was no necessity for delay
The preliminaries had been settled
The parties were to fight with pistols
at ten PAGES, the combat to continu,
till one or both had fallen.
One condition had been insisted OF
by the stranger, which called an in

HAVE HOPE.
BY FATHER RYAN.

There never was valley without a
faded flower,
There never was heaven without
some little cloud,
The face of day may flash with light in
any morning hour,
But evening soon shall come with her
shadow-wOven shroud.
There never was river without it's mist
of gray,
There never was forest without its
fallen leaf;
And Joy may walk beside us down the
windings Of our way,
When 10 there sounds footstep, and
we meet the face Of grief.
There never was seashore without its
drifting wreck,
There never was an ocean without Its
moaning wave,
And the golden beams of glory, the sum-
mer sky that fleck,
Shine where dead stars are sleeping in
their azure-mantled grave.
There never was streamlet, however
crystal clear,
Without shadow resting in the rip
pies of its tide,
Hopes brightest robes are bOrdered with
the sable fringe of fear
And she lures-but abysses girt her
path on either side.
The shadow of the mountain falls
athwart the lowly plain, Q
And the shadow of the cloudlet hangs
above the mountains head
And the highest hearts and lowest wear
the shadow of some pain,
And the smile is scarcely fitted ere
the anguish tear is shed.
For no eyes have there been over with a
weary tear,
And those lips cannot be human which
never heayed sigh:
For without the dreary winter there has
never been a year,
And the tempest hide their terrors in
the calmest summer sky.
So dreary life is passing-and we move
amid it's maze,
And we grope along together, half in
darkness, half in light;
And our hearts are often bnrdened by
the mysteries of our ways,
Which are never all in shadow and
never wholly bright
And our dim eyes ask beacon, and our
weary feet guide,
And our hearts of all life's mysteries
seek the meaning and the key,
And cross CLEANS DER our pathway, on
it hangs the crucified,
And he answers all our warnings by
the whisper, "Follow Me"
