A singular story of wholesale swim
dlers and inconceivable credulity
comes from Rome. About year
ago q young and beautiful woman,
believed to be an American and cred
tied with the possession Of On enor-
nous fortune arrived In the Italian
capital, accompanied By young man
belonging TO one OF the eldest snd
most distinguished Roman families
and By monkey. Shs had no other
travelling companions. Shortly after
her arrival she married to the young
aristocrat, whose name the Italian
papers conceal under the title OF
Signor y. The couple went upon
wedding tour snd spent money with
lavish hands. They selected the
city of Portico for their home, saying
that they wished to live 10 retire.
ment while waiting the complement
Of Madam's twenty-6fth year. when
she would come into possession of
her fortune aud would receive six
millions Of dollars. Every one was
ready to give credit to such al heir
esq. A Roman gentleman, in whose
villa the couple lodged, loaned Them
10000 frances and guaranteed pay
ment for 10000 frances worth of
jswelry which they bought in Naples.
They made debts among the Neapol-
itan merchants and bankers to the
amount OF 700 600 frances. 10 Rome
they victimizsd the shop keepers
heavily for diamonds. corals. costly
fars and other portable articles Of high
price. Nothing seemed too costly,
provided they could get credit for il.
They even had the handles ofparasois
and umbrellas set with costly stones.
They contracted to buy the Villa MIR
s6ori for 100000 frances, bought
seven carriages AMI 40 horses, ordered
a private railway car and q yacht.
Within year they managed to make
debts 10 the amount of half million
of dollars. The date fixed for pay
ment in all cases was the frst of
March. In February the couple
went to Paris and then to London, q
movement that seems to to have ex-
cited no suspicion among their cred

came that they had gone to America,
taxing with them an immense quan-
tity of baggage A few days after
a banker in Rome received letter

A Monkey Story,


Rather a good monkey story for little
folks this: There lives in the South of
France a man of wealth whose chateau
or country place of residence has around
it very tall trees. The cook of the cha
teau has monkey-a pert fellow, who
knows ever so many tricks. The mon
key often helps the cook to pluck the
feathers from fowls. On the day that
interests US the cook gave the monkey
two partridges to pluck, and the mon
key, seating himself in an open window
went to work. He had picked the feathers
from one of the partridges and placed it
on the outer ledge Of the window with a
satisfied grunt, when, lol all at once
hawk few down fn0Ea one of the tall
trees near by and b0F0 off the plucked
bird. Master Monkey was very angry.
He shook his fist st the hawk, which
took a seat on one of the limbs not far
off and began to eat the partridge with
great relish. The owner of the chateau
saw the sport, for he was sitting in q
grape arbor, and crept up to watch the
end of it. The monkey picked the other
partridge, laid it on the ledge in tho
same place, and hid behind the window
screen on the inside. The hawk was
caught in this trap, for when it few
down after the partridge, out reached
the monkey and caught the thief. In
moment the hawks neck was wrung,
and the monkey soon had the hawk
plucked. Taking the two birds to the
cook, the monkey handed them to him
as if to say, Here are your two
partridges, master" The cook thought
that one of the birds looked queer, but
he served them on the table. The owner
of the house shook his head when he
saw the dish, and telling the cook of the
trick, laughed heartily.

THE site of prehistoric town o +
giants has been found on the shore of
Lake Ontario near Rochester. An ex-
ploring expedition recently dug up over
two hundred relics on this spot, includ-
ing stone axes, arrow heads, human
teeth, broken pottery, tobacco pipes,
and other rough curiosities of a savage
people. Several years ago some twenty
skeletons were exhumed from the same
ground, every ono of which, when laid
in straight lire, showed a form of
twenty feet in height and upwards.
The discovery opsns up fruitful field
for the arch@olosyist. f

WHY SEEK THE NORTH POLE.
BY LYDIA. 4. RICHARDS.


The polel What seek they at the pole2
What prize for such as reach that goal?
Is ivory massed on polar seas,
Or slken seal in " open seas2"
Is empire sought, or pleasure, gold,
Or paths for trade, with gains untold?
Not these are sought through arctic main;
There's good, unknown to vulgar gain,
And Truth, as truth, has champions brave
As any Mars or MfmmOn gave.
The search of truth, and truth alone,
Has charms to sordid minds unknown.
To add one drop TO human lore,
20 prove one truth unknown before,
This this is ife-lmbition, meet,
AtOnes for failure, sneers, defeat.
An "open sea- they long have said,
Has North Pole centering in its bed;
And more when ships far northward 60,
They pass the drift and iceberg foe,
And reach a calm and open sea,
From iae formation ever free.
Yet none have passed this brumal line,
Which "Open seas" begird, confne
Is this illusion, fslse, untrue?
Must we reject the Olden view?
Shall youthful idols, one by one,
Still fall, till age, alas, has none?
A myth, that "oIen polar sea9'
myth? Then prove it so to be.
If not, then snowa perpetual fall,
As stone on stone build up the wall,
Till oceans, seas, rs vapor rise,
And northward drift to polar skies;
There sink as snow, to rise no more,
Till earth itself ia toppled DER.
When north pole bows to kiss the sun,
An era's passed, u cycles run.

Save cold, starvation, death, despairp

The Repeaters Heard OF in Florida,
From the Tallahassee Democrat, oct,s1s

we have good reason FOR stating that
the state is about to be flooded with
bullies from Northern slums and with so.
called detectives sent from Jacksonville
and other cities. Some of these will 60
IN the guise of Democrats who will be
supplied with money for the use with the
weak kneed. They are emissaries for
mischief, spies and prowling wolves and
should be watched with sIeepless vigil
apce.
The cry of fraud" which the Republi =
cans are now raising is only a blind to
cover frauds which they themselves con-
template. Florida is a Democratic state
and can only be carried BY the Radicals
by resorting to the same tactics which
enabled them to succeed in past elections.
This they know. They originated "tissue
ballots or little jokers" here and if not
watched will repeat the trick. We eau
ton Democraues inspectors to keep their
eyes open. They must not only guard
against ballot box stuffiue, but against
repeaters. This is favorite mode of
Republican cheating and it would not
surprise US If professional repeaters from
abroad are imported for service in Jack
sonvllle, and other tpoints cast In fact
we have reason to believe that large
force of these ruffians and shoulder htters
are nov on their way to Florida from New
Y ork and will arrive in q few days, If
our information is reliable as to this it is
to be hoped that the imported builies will
be made to regret the day they put their
feet on the soil of Florida.
