The black was by far the best of the

slept, all three of us, in tent together;

beds for black fellows; and l found

Sharks Teeth.

[ would draw attenti.n to the opera
ton of the teeth of the shark on the
seizure of its prey. l recollect in Mich
olson's Zoology" a statement to the
following effect: &C The sharks have teeth
arranged in several rows, of which only
the outermost is employed, the other
rows seeming to replace the outermost
when worn out" In a recent visit to
the Cocos Islands I had many opportun-
tiles of observing these animals in the
use of their formidable weapons. In the
act of seizure the whole jaw is protruded
to distance varying according to the
size of the fsh) of several inches, the
innermost teeth coming into position
erect or semi erect, but as far as could
observe nearly all of the teeth came into
play. When on fishing excursions in the
lagoon, the sharks, which constantly
carried off the bait, were often caught,
and in order to extract the hook large
log, constantly carried in the boats for
this purpose, was threateningly present.

seized and held on to for as long as it
took to perform the operation of extrac.
ton. If, when the fish is quite recently
dead, pressure be made on the angle of
the jaw, it is easy to observe the action
of the rows of teeth ature.

Victor Emanuel Requested to Keep

The peasant population did little less
then adore the king, whom they looked
upon in sort of way as their private
property. He was not a man who in
ordinary times by any means liked peo-
pie taking liberties with him as persons
around his court were occasionally re-
minded to their cost, but the peculiar
conditions of mountain life and the
almost passionate loyalty of his Alpine
subjects placed his relations with them
ON footing of familiarity which would
have been impossible under other cir
cumstances. The peasant folk were
often known to tutoyer their king when
the get excited indeed, one day guide,
VINO thought that he was endangering
his life by carelessness in an awkward
spot on the edge of a precipice, went
very near to swearing at him. Another
time man who was carrying him on
his back across a swollen torrent and
was irritated bp his making some slight
movement, said in an audible whisper
/" 7eafesu bourich~ {" Keep still, you

At noon, as the sun came out, Mistress
Prudence appeared at the oven on the
green. She asked for Mr.. Duplan, and
the FrenchmaD smiled and pointed to
the earth. Even then she did not un-
derstand. Looking across the common
she saw the Count de Rochambeau en-
tering the war Office, and to him she at
once went.
Where is Mr.. Duplan?'
=" In his grave, Mistress Prudence"
She paled, but did not faint. She
stood like rock. Sc saw that the Count
de Rochambeau was not testing. The
count himself looked sadly at her, and
was about to tell her of the drunken
Jacques, made drunk by the mistress
own attentions, but she stopped him.
You are murderer" she said.
"You have killed brave and innocent
man without cause. You have killed
me. You trifed with me last night.
You care for women only to play with
their feelings. / hate you and all yours.
Oil why did you kill him, sir? He was
good man, and a noble man. Oil you
are all servants of satan. War! Is
this war? Then hate it. Better had
there been no war. Yes, better have
been slaves of the throne. But I tell
you, sir, you will never know whom you
murdered. If the constant thought that
you may have killed one equally gentle
with yourself may be punishment,
hope that it will ever rankle in your
breast. | have concealed the papers.
He asked me to keep them forever, in
case he was not released. They are
safely hidden. You will not find them
unless you pull the governors Office
down. Perhaps not then, and it will
not come down while you are alive"
Then she tainted, and an hour after
they carried her home in delirum.
:. In the spring when the snow was gone,
they found a flower or two planted
around the boulders over Duplan's grave.
No one ever saw any person plant them,
but every one knew that Mistress Pru-
dence had been there. Before the next
spring she was laid away in the old GEM
etry, near the Trumbull tomb (you may
see the slab over the grave to this day.,
and she never revealed the mystery.
Search was often made for the papers
without success, but there is no one who
has not heard the story who does not
believe they are hidden in the war office.
1t is said that the Count de Rocham-
beau subsequently learned who Francois
Duplan was, and that he was of gentle
blood.-NeU York San.

i Comrade, Jacques showed Mistress Pru-
pence to her fathers door by the light of
his lantern, and, nothing 10th, went in.
The mistress herself mixed him a punch
of tremendous strength, which he drank
in her honor. Then Squire Strong in
sisted on another, and the minister sug-
gested that they drink to the cause, so
that by the time Comrade Jaques was
ready to 60 back to the camp he must
have had more than q pint of Medford
rum to warm him. The cold night air
from without and the heated rum from
within sent his brain at once into whirl,
and an hour after the sentinel took him
to his tent in state of the widest intox-
ication, in which he constantly sang the
praises of Mistress Prudence. They
found on nina at noon the next day the
Count de Rochambeau's remission of the
sentence of death.
At sunrise the sergeant and six weep
ing comrades, drawn by lot, led Duplan
through the snow, across the highway,
nearly opposite the old mill. He knelt
in the snow ON the bank and begged
them to stand not more than five PAGES
away. He calmly repeated a prayer,
and then turning to his comrades, said
in clear voice: "Aim for my heart"
and dropped the handkerchief. He fell
over in the snow dead, and by noon was
buried where he fell. His comrades
took from the stone wall a dozen or more
boulders and placed them in pile over
the grave. The little heap may be seen
to this day.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-Supreme
Court decision No. SO. New York Central
& Hudson River Railway Company, plain
tiff in error, VS.. Olga De Maluta Twaloff,
in error to the Circuit Court of the United
States for the Southern District of New
York. This case was carried up on awrit
of error from a judgment against the rail-
road company in an action to recover the
value of certain laces alleged to have been
taken from trunks of the defendant in
error while q passenger upon the cars of
the company and while her trunks were
in the company's charge for transporta-
ton as part of her baggage. The defen-
dant in error is Russian countess, who
was travelling for pleasure, and the laces
which it is alleged were taken from her
trunks are valued at $4,000.
The Court held on the view of the
whole scope and bearing of the charge of
the Court below, that no error had been
committed to the prejudice OF the COM
pany, or of which it can complain. The
judgment of the lower court is affirmed.
Justice Harlan delivered the opinion.
Justices Field, Miller and Strong dissent
ed on the ground that the 275 yards of
lace claimed by the owner to be worth
S75, 900 and found by the jury to be of the
value of $4,000, cannot, as matter OF
law, be properly considered as the bag
gage of passenger for which the railroad
company, in the absence of any special
agreement, should be held liable. Justice
Field delivered the dissenting opinion.
No. S42. ]. o. Tinstman, plaintiff in
error, VS.. First National Bank of Mount
Pleasant, Pa. In error to the Circuit
Court of the United States for the West
ern District of Pennsylvania. Writ of
error dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
No. 240. National Bank OF the Republic,
plaintiff in error, VS.. r. J. Millard. In
error to the Supreme Court of the District
of Columbia. Dismissed for want of
Jurisdiction. The Chief Justice delivered
No. 5, original. Elk parte Ira G. French.
Petition for mandamus denied. The

morrow, as the Justices made together

LONDON, November Notwithstanding
the apparent revival of the different
ical trades, far-sighted merchants are of
the opinion that substantial recovery
from the recent acute depression Is still
remote. 1t could scarcely be otherwise
after the prolonged stagnation, the almost
total failure of the harvests, the largely
curtailed commerce of the country, the
prospective tightness of the money mar
'ket and the lack of enterprise in the busi-
ness world resulting from these various
causes.
English journals allege that there is no
good ground for apprehension of serious
trouble with Russia, and argue the alb
sence of ostensible cause for any rupture
of peaceful relations. At the same time,
they admit that Russia's programme in
the East which seems to involve the
permanent subjugation of the Turcomans,
the occupation of Merv and threatening
demonstrations toward Herat and Ali
Khorassan-deman the constant vigi-
lance of England. They allege, also, that
the reinforcement of the British squadron
in the China seas is merely precaution-
ary measure, and not intended to provoke
similar measures upon the part of any
other Power.

bonds have been disposed

IRELAND.

LONDON, November 3.-The so-called
anti-rent and land reform demonstrations
in Ireland are rapidly degenerattng into
terrorism and mob rule. It sis reported
that in the County Mayo armed and dis
guised agrarian bands are threatening
vengeance upon all tenants who pay their
rentals. Placards warning and threaten
ing all such are nailed upon church-doors
in the nighttime, and terrifying symbols
are distributed through the neighborhood.
Many landlords are organizing Defense
and Vigilance Committees, and protesting
against the vilifications Of the partisan
press.
The Catholic Bishop of Cashel has sent
a vigorous protest to the government
against the proposed scheme to colonize
Irish peasantry in Zululand, and urging
that Ireland is the tittest place for Irish
men.
Peter Leary, who came over from Cana
da to investigate the truth of the reported
destitution among his countrymen at
home, has made a tour of inspection of
several Irish counties, making careful OBJ
servations of the real condition of things.
He reports to the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer that a famine is imminent, unless
the Government take immediate measures
for the relief of the people. The Chancel-
lor coolly replies that the whole subject
will be submitted to the Lord Lieutenant
of Ireland for investigation and reports
