CALLING the ANGELS IN.

We mean to do 1t. Some day, some day,
We mean to slacken this fevcred rush
That is wearing our very souls away,
And grant ta our g0adea hearts hush
That is holy enough To let them hear
The footsteps Of angels drawing near.
We mean to do it. Oh, never doubt
When the burden of daytime droil is DER,
Well sit and muse, while the stars come
out,
As the patriarch sat at the open door
OF his tent, with heavcuW ard gazing eye,
To watch for the angels passing by
We see them afar at high noontidc,
When iiercely the worlds hot Hastings
beat;
Yet never have hidden them turn aside
Ard tarry n while in converse sweet;
Nor prayed them to hallow the cheer we
spread,
To drink Of our wine aud break our bread
We promised our hearts that when the
stress
OF the lfc-work reaches the longed for
close,
When the weight that we groan with hin.
ders less,
Wen loosen our thoughts To such repose
As hanishcs cares disturbing din,
And then-we1l call the angels in.
The day that we dreamed of comes al
length,
When tired of every hooking quest,
And broken in spirit and shorn of strength
We drop, indeed. at the door of rest,
And wait and watch a. the day wanrs on
But the angels We meant TO call are gone

A Texas Scorpion.

There ia n species of singing scor.
pion found in the river bottoms OF
Western Texas, whose method OF
propagation is not spoken of in our
text books on natural history. Imme-
diately after the birth of her young
the female places them in basket
shaped receptacle on her back,
where they at once attach them
selves aud commence sucking her
blood. OF course the mother soon
succumbs to this uniilial treatment
and begins to droop. The young
are by this time sufficiently nourish-
ed to demand more substantial food,
and they kill their mother and
devour her. Should one Of the
young ones become detached from
the living nest it is at once killed
and toasted upon by the mother.
Thus it seems that while the fe-
male willingly sacrifices her life to
her offspring, yet she does not hest
tate to kill them should they he 80 de.
void of instinct as to refuse to re.
main where she places them after
birth. While this is going on the
male parent stands about evidently
choosing the job" The entire pro-
ceeding illustrates a remarkable
phase of nature, and is worthy OF
the attention of scientists and low
ers Of the wonderfui.-Corpus CHRIS

SHOCKING 0UTRAGE.-Tbe testimony 10 the
case OF Patrick Mcnamara, James Shugre and
George Lowry, charged with assault on Miss
Minturn Cheney, in the trial in the police
court, last Friday, took an unexpected turn,
and the details of one of the most daring and
shocking outrages ever perpetrated in the Dis
trict-and thai is saying a great deal were
narrated by Miss Cheney. Ii appears that she
was anxious. through womauly shame, TO con-
ceal the fact that a rape was committed, bat
the sharp questions of the counsel for defense,
on cross-examination, brought out the story.
Miss Cheney and preacher named Lighter
were walking over the commons in the
vicinity Of North Capital and NJ street last
Tuesday night. when they were assaulted by
gang OF rufiians. Mr. Lighter was taken
away from tue young woman and bad beaten.
Tue young woman was taken in another d.
recton, and despite her prayers and protests,
thrown to the ground and pistol was held to
her head while six OF the ruiiians accomplished
their vile purpose. When these facts were
made known By the young wonan's state
meni In the police court the Indignation against
the prisoners was great.
la The police court yesterday, as the young
lady was unable TO appear, upon the su question
OF the court the counselfo the prisoners waived
further heariug, and the prisoners were sent
10 jail In default Of S5, 600 bonds each.
The three prisoners who are positively iden-
tilted by Miss Cheney are young men of d most
brutal appearance. The spot where the out
rage was committed was the scene OF an at
tempted outrage under very similar circum-
stances about four months ago. These com
nous are frequented by gang OF young des.
peradoes who hesitate AZ no crime. - Wdsh

A Card to the Public.

Having oeeu indicted by the Grand Jury Of
Montgomery county, at the March Term VI
the Circuit Court sill in session, for ualrC-
fully and ieiyuiiy dstaining in nay Possessis1,
for more than sixty DAYS after the day upoa
which it is made by law my duty 10 pay the
same, the June installment OF the revenue
levied and placed in my hands for collection
by the County Commissioners, for the use OF
the public school fund and the Commissioners
OF Rockville and for negleetiRg to pay the
same 10 the County School Commissioners CT
their Treasurer, aud 10 the Commissioners Of
Rockville or their Treasurer, desire 10 make
a brief statement 10 the public.
called this day upon the Treasurer Of the
School Commissioners, at his Office, and re-
quested him TO inform me whether there was
anything due him from me, stating hat was
prepared then and there TO pay him any such
amount. He stated that be bad issued orders
on me for little more than the amount due
from me 10 the present time; that be had heard
no complaints irom tue holders OF the orders
and declined to receive any thing from me,
AS he had no claim upon me for anything.
The orders given by the Treasurer on me have
always been respected, and when presented
have in every case been paid 10 full or in part.
found upon calling upon the Treasurer of
the town OF Rockville, yesterday, that there
was due from me 10 him about $500, which
paid then anc there in full. As ! had ad-
yanced upon the orders Of the Town Csnnis-
sioners about the same amount FOR 1917, some
twelve months before it was due, dill not and
do not now consider my yself At all dere.ict in
my duty towards them.
DO not at all fear the result Of the indict-
meut against me,and would quietly await that
result for my viniication as public officer,
but that sensitive regard tor nv reputation
for Integrity and efficiency, never before ques-
tioued in my native county or elsewhere, in
duces me 10 make this statement, that my
felew-cilizens may know the actual facts in-
volved. ! confidently claim, at the bar Of
public opinion, now upon ihe above state
ment Of facts, full vindicaiion Of my charac-
ter as citizen and public officer.
