How Husband was | nst

The Boston Post tells this anecdote of
the late L. S. Foster: "When the late
Lafayette S. Foster was young and
rising lawyer, he wooed and was engaged
to young lady whose family enjoyed a
larger social prominence than his own.
The wedding day had been fixed and the
couple were talking over their prospec-
tive tour, as part of which young F'os-
ter proposed that they should spend
few days with his parents, who resided
III town some distance away. The
lady rather reluctantly consented, but
said: / will go with you this time, but
In future you must not expect my visits
to your parents to be very frequent.
Youmust remember that our associations
have been very different. Surprised
and shocked by this cold-blooded depre-
citation of the father and mother whom
he loved and honored, the young man
paced the floor the sport of seething and
conflicting emotions. Finally, taking
his hat he turned to the lady and said:
g / am glad have found you out in
time; you may go to the devil" The
rebuke might not have been choice in
style, but it was earnest in spirit.
Thenceforth their ways lay apart and she
was not the gamer.

Out of the Deep,

Another relic of the Spanish Armada
has just come to light on the northeast
coast of Scotland When that ill-fated
fleet, which bore in vain "the richest
spoils of Mexico, the stoutest hearts of
Spain, tried to escape from the foe by
running northwards, wild storm COM
pleted the work of destruction which
the English had begun. One of the yes
sells, the ST. Catharine, was wrecked at a
little creek, since known as est. CatLa-
rine's DUH" near Slams, Cd the rock
bound coast of Buchan, Aberdeenshire.
Recently one of the guns belonging to
the vessel was recovered from the sea,
where it has lain for nearly three hun
bred years. The gun is in an excellent
state of preserv alton. It is of,,malleable
iron, is eight feet in length, and the d.
ameter of the bore is four inches.
The gun had been loaded at the time
of the disaster, and the ball and wad-
ding are still there, occupying a space
of thirteen inches. This is not the
only piece of ordnance of the st. Catha-
zine that has been recovered. Lieuten-
ant Paterson, r. N, made a first at
tempt in 1910, and raised two guns.
One of these is now in the possession of
the Earl of Aberdeen. In 1876 the
Countess of Enroll employed a diving
party to search the site, and they were
rewarded with two cannons and an
anchor, which were sent to the queen
at Balmoral The gun taken out recent
ly is, however, the largest and most
complete of any yet recovered

The Origin of the ShyIock Legend.
From the n. Y. Graphic


Professor Graetz, the eminent Jewish
scholar, has written a series of articles
on the origin of the Shylock legend, the
first of which appears in the August
number Of the German Repository for
Judiac History and Science. The
first trace of it, says the author, is to be
found in Herbers' French versifcation
of Dolopathos, or the Seven Wise Men
of Rome, made for one of the kings OF
France. There we find that rich vas
sal of knight, one whose legs had been
cut off by the order of his feudal superb
or, offered the latter a loan of 100 marks,
on the condition that if this amount
were not paid by fixed time the vassal
should have the right of cutting out a
pice of the knights flesh. The knight
having succeeded in his purpose with
the money, forgot altogether to pay it.
The vassal out of revenge in
sisted upon his right. The Judge,
who was none else than the knights
bride in disguise, pronounced that the
flesh should be cut out, but no more and
no less than stipulated, otherwise the
creditor would forfeit his life. Herbers
makes the remark that this is an old
story, which the monk Jehans de Haute-
Selve translated into Latin. The same
story has passed into the "Gesta Roman.
Drum :" in another form. The first writer
who intoduced Jew of Mestre as the
creditor was Sir Giovanni Fiorentino, il
his collection of tales entitled "Peco
rone," composed in 1878.

Singular METROPOLITAN Facts.
from a New York Letter. I


Last week 1853 marriages took place.
The number of births dufing the same
time was 500, while the deaths were $40.
New York would soon be depopulated
were 1t not for the constant flow of emf
grafton. AS matter or hygienic inter-
est 1t may be added that during the same
time more than a quarter of million OF
persons availed themselves of the public
baths, of whom one-third were females.
These baths afford relief to that large
number who cannot get to Coney island,
and the benefit to general health is be-
yond an estimate. A boy of thirteen has
just been arrested for killing a child UNI
der five. The accumulation of boy
prisoners in the Toombs is one of the
saddest aspects of metropolitan crime,
and as the matron remarked tome, it was
=" distressing to see how little these mis-
cradle children realized their condition. "
Speaking of childhood, it may be added
that four boys came unattended from
Bremen, the oldest being only twelve.
They were met by their father who had
anxiously awaited their arrival. On one
OF the last warm days that preceded the
cool spell, 1000 drinks of cold water
was distributed by the moderate Drink
ing society, and the scene was enlivened
by pickpocket who recklessly tried his
luck among cartmen and laborers, but
soon found himself in the Toombs.

Lassoinq a Puma.
(From the Prescott, Ark, Miner. ]


For some time past an old and gigan-
tic mountain lion has been playing havoc
with the young colts and calves of differ
ent herds around Walnut Greek, and so
great had the destruction of young ami
mails become of late that party of ex-
perts with the lasso, decided upon the
capture of the monster. Accordingly,
Ike Goodman, Dan O'Leary, and Mr..
Ambrose went out to where he was wont
to roam, and laid in wait for him. Mr..
Lion appeared every night; therefore,
they were pretty sure of their game;
they encamped near a band of horses,
belonging to George Cornell, and await
ed the coming of the "boss" lion in
Northern Arizona. just at daybreak
they heard the cry OF a young colt, and
knew that his lordship, the Lion, was at
his work Mr.. Ambrose and Mr.. Good
man saddled their horses and prepared
their riatas with a view of lassoing the
animal. They soon found their game
drinking the warm blood from 800
colt, when Ambrose threw the lasso over
the beast, holding him fast and secure.
The lion took in the situation and made
fight With one bound he Lit on the
rump Of the horse, ready to perform on
Ambrose the operation he had bust con-
Guided on the colt, when Ike Goodman
lasso was thrown over the lion, and in an
instant the gallant lion, which measures
eight and a half feet, was stretched out
longer than any rail that Abe Lincoln
ever split when he followed rail-splitting
for livelihood in the early days OF
Illinois. A costly animal has been dis
posed of, much to the peace of the colts
and calves and the owners thereof.

A Grateful Bloodhound.

The Detroit Free Press tells a re-
! markable story of bloodhounds graft
tude at Andersonville. The prisoners
were allowed to go out in squads,
strongly guarded, to collect fire. wood.
One day it was our hero's turn to go, and
for the first time since his imprisonment
he caught sight of "Col. Catchem, the
big bloodhound The Michigander
noticed that the dog limped painfully on
one OF his fore feet, but gave the matter
no special attention until, after being
out for half an hour, he sat down to rest
near one of the guards. The dog APP
preached the guard as if to ask some
favor, but was repulsed with an oath and
threatened with blow. He then skulked
around and came near the prisoner, who
saw that he had an old horseshoe nail
run into his foot With little coaxing
he got the dog near and finally
pulled out the nail, and the animal ran
away seemingly well pleased. Twelve
days after that, one night, about mid
night tunnel was ready. The prisoner
was a long time getting clear of the
nelghborhOod, and weak and starved as
he was, he was not more than two miles
from the stockade when day broke, and
:" Col. Catchem " was put on bis track.
When he heard the hound coming he
looked for a suitable tree to climb, but
failed to find one. Armed with club
he took his stand, and determined to
make fight for it. The dog recognized
the man, and began exhibiting every
sign of friendship. After few minutes
the pursuers were heard in The distance.
The dog at once trotted off in that di-
rection, and was shortly baying and
leading them over fictitious trail.
The prisoner pushed ahead for half an
hour, and was then rejoined by the dog,
who kept close to his heels or just ahead
of him all day, and lay beside him in the
woods all night. This position of guar
dian or companion he maintained until
towards night of the second day, when
he returned to the stockade. The
prisoner was then thirty miles away,
but on the fifth morning he was captured.
When he returned the hound met and
caressed him. From that hour to the
close of the war the dog would not take
the trail of an escaping prisoner.

A surgeon, who had been sent for with
out loss of time, arrived within quarter
of an hour from the time at which the
sting had been inflicted, only to find a
corpse, surrounded by horror-stricken
peasants. The deceased, an old soldier
attached to the kings grenadier regi-
ment, leaves wife and family to lament
his tragical and untimely end. He had
braved with impunity the thousand
perils of battle in two campaigns, to per-
ish miserably at last by the sting OF a
