The Diamond-Eyed Wild

A widow lady in Brussels
having lost one of her eyes
through accident, caused it to be
replaced by an artificial eye o1
glass. There would, of course
have been nothing remarkable in
this if the eye had been glass and
nothing more. But the lady was
not content. with an ordinary
feature, and "out of a spirit of
coquetery, and with a view of
giving greater brilliancy to the
Ieyeball," she had it set in dia-
monds at "a, considerable cost.
The fame OF, the precious eye
not only spread through Brussels,
but even attracted to the widow s
side a skillful adventurer from
Paris. This man, after a career
of swindling in the French Cap
ital, had, it seems, decamped,
and was not long in making ac-
quaintance with the heroine Of
the artificial eye. The sequel
was such as might have been an
ticipated. The opticians -chef
Feurer was accustomed to re-
pose in a particular place when
not worn by the fair owner, and
its intrinsic value proved too
tempting to the. stranger guest.
He once more decamped, carry
ing off glass, diamonds and all,
and was next heard of in a
shop in the Rue de la Paix, where
he sold the interesting work of
art for $50 francs. The jewel
er and his assistant examined
the article with some curiosity,
and while they were thus engag-
ed the thief took the opportunity
of clearing a few more trifes eff
the counter. The shopkeeper.
was able to give a description of
him to the police, and he was ar
rested a day or two ago at the
Northern Station, and is now a.
waiting his trial.

length and a half ahead; at the
250 the distance had widened
into FIVE lengths and the OK still
gaining. But the old saying,
"Ihere's many slip 'twixts the
cup and the lip" was never truer
than in the present case, and
when within a dozen yards Of the
winning post his oxship became
tired and made up his mind to
stop. Accordingly he planted
his front feetand refuse to bulge.
Moral suasion, profane abuse,
physical ill-usage, all, separate
or combined, failed to move him,
and the horse trotted quietly
past and took the race, the OK
never reaching the winning post
at all. That minute the stock
sank from 81 900 a share down
to 1-64th of the value Of the OK
intrinsically as meat.
Many efforts were afterward
made to coerce the bovine into a
trot, but all enticement and per-
suasion, gentle and otherwise,
failed, and he never trotted again.

soon seemed to move in its many
coils, and then the men saw that
the ball was a mass Of snakes.
The warmth revived the dor

of the ball was soon covered
with rattles, which swayed to

the blowing of wind through the
dead leaves of Il tree. What
seemed at first a gordian knot
began to unravcl. The tails
protruded more and more, and
as the snakes unlocked their in

MY HSLAND HOME
BY JESSIE FERGUSON BROWNE.

Far, loyelier far than all beside,
Tho all were fair TO me,
Art thou my pearl, my oeean-pride-a
NV home within the sea.
No other lands however fair,
Shall tempt my feet to roam;
To leave the spot Of all most dear,
Ny own sweet Island Home,
They lure me not, your mountain scenes
Those scenes so wild and free;
Forever fair, can they compare
With my Home beside the sea?
Ny home beside the silver tie
Of the bright and sparkling sea
Away, away, and sing no more
Of your scenes so wild and free.
Ny spirit turns to the restless deep,
To all that love so well; sweep
Where the chaInless wings Of the tempest
With high, exultant swell.
Yea, lovelier far than all beside,
Tho all were fair to me,
All thOu my pedtI, my OSOdh- piiuC
My home within the sea.
Away from the world of care and strife,
Where fraud and ambition reign;
AS free from it all pass my life,
AS the sea- bird that skins The main.
Those peaceful realms I'll ne'er forsake,
While Neptune rules the sea;
Ave leave me but nv Island Home.
And the world you may have for me.

Pretty, and Possibly True

A pretty story is told in st. Pc
tersburg. A Government func-
tionary living in the outskirts of
the capital died a few days ago
in utter destitution, leaving be-
hind him motherless and without
friends or relations two little
children, one a boy of seven and
the other a girl of three. Left
in the house alone, without mon
ey or food, the boy did not know
what to do to get bread for his Sis
ter. AT last, urged by the little
ones tears, he wrote on a piece
of paper "Pleas, God, send me
three eopecks Ga penny to buy
my little sister a ROLL" and went
to the nearest church to slip it
into an alms-box, believing, in
his simplicity, that the prayer
would reach heaven through this
medium. A priest passing by
observed the child, on tiptoe try
ing to thrust the paper in, and
taking the paper from him, read
the message. Returning home
with the child, he took the little
ones to his house and gave them
the food and clothing they need
ed. The following Sunday he
preached a sermon on charity,
in which he referred to the Incl
dent, and afterward went round
the chuch with a plate. When
the offering were counted it was
found that the congregation had
given 1900 roubles, or nearly
700.

The Negro Exodus.
A Statement from One Who Made
Observations.

Observations.
Lexington (Ky.) Transcript
The people of Kansas are get
ting alarmed over the recent
heavy immigration of negroes in
their State. About four years
ago we were in the western por-
ton of Kansas, and saw the first
black wave that reached that To-
cality. 1t was composed Of Ten
nessee darkeys, many Of them
entirely destitute, and who had
barely enough money to pay
their fare to the New Eldorado.
The whole matter of negro i'm
migration to Kansas was gotten
up by land agents, and for the
enriching of their purses.
Brown, who is a land agent,
and gets SIG fees for locating
each head of a family or a home
stead, sends an agent down South
to stir up the negroes and induce
them to this particular locality.
When they arrive Brown takes
them in charge, locates each one,
and if there is one hundred fam
lilies, which is often the case, he
gets just 81, 500 in cash. After
he gets the money he has no
sympathy for the poor negro but
gives him the shake. This is
the mode of operation by these
land agents, as observed by us,
and we call the attention of the
colored people to these facts.
We have seen these things with
our own eyes and know them to
be true.
