A Monkeys Suicide.

One of the most novel deaths that ever
occurred in this section took place here
to-day, the victim of which was monkey
owned by Mr.. Rockwell Syrock. The
animal was quito u favorite with all the
children for miles around, and knew
most of them. For several years past
Jocko' owner has been in the habit of Wis
iting all the hanGinGs in this portion of
the State, taking the mischiovous animal
with him, who always seemed to take an
especial interest IN the horrible details of
such proceedings. On the 25th of June
Alex Howard, a negro, was to have been
executed here for the murder of OH old
man, but the Governor respited him.
The gibbet was erected and all the pre-
hminary arrangements made for carrying
out the negro's sentence, when the Elk
ecutive interposed his power md post,
poned it, Syrock visited the Jail with the
monkey. and examined these preparn.
tions. The animal seemed to be unusually
curious, and watched the scaff;old trap with
wistful eyes, Since that time he has
been playing hanging in his masters
barn. This morning he was found dead
suspended by clothes-line to one of the
rafters of the building. GOldSboro (N

IrIsb CRIMINAL Statistics Of a Year.


DIR. w. Nelson Hancock's bulky ':Blue
Book" giving the criminal and judicial
statistics of Ireland for the year 1879 has
just been published. The mdictable
offenses not determined summarily num-
ber S,0S9, being L. 130 more than in 1878,
while in the latter year the number was
631 in excess of the number in 1877.
The last year in which there was SINH
| lar increase was 1862. The increase OF
| ,12O was distributed over thirty-fve
county and town districts, the most
marked increases being 228, in Dublin
| City, 217 in the County of Galway, and
| 1914 in the County of Mayo. On the
other hand, Kildare showed O decrease
of 66, Cork East Riding 16, and Cavan
| IA. The number of offenBes determined
I summarily was 255, ,67O, being a decrease
| of 1850, of which decrease S,702 was
in punishable drunkenness-a result
which DIR. Hancock attributes to the
Sunday Closing Act. The statement re-
lating to the Landed Estates Court shows
that there was n fall in the average price
realized from eighteen and nine-tenths
years purchase in 1873 to seventeen and
seven-tenths in 1879. The average Of
the five years ended in 1876 was 1914. OF

Court ejectment suits increased from
5,942 in 1877 to 1901 in 1873 and 9,611
in 1879. The execution of the decrees
in these suits by the Sheriff increased
from l, ,995 in 1873 to2, ,676 in 1879. The
increase Of eiectment suits in the High
Court Of Justice was only in Con-
naught and 20 in Ulster, while in Lem

cuted was, 35,091, as against FL ,678 in
1878. The gross total of ejectment pro-
ceedings increased from 2,517 to 1926.
Of this increase of 1,009, no less than
928 were in ejectments for on-payment
of rent. The amount of compensation
for disturbance granted in Ulster, where
non-payment of rent does not forfeit the
right to compensation, was G5, 900, being
only G49 less than in 1873, while for i'm

Der of ejectments from 1,776 to 2,428,

A Heroine in q Fix,

used to know the late G.. P. r.
James, whose novels at one time enjoyed
q very largo circulation. One day I
called upon him, as we had agreed to 90
out somewhere together. L found him
dOlcfully seated over a manuscript. He
was not writing, but he was gazing at it
with melancholy despair. thought he
WAS i'll, and asked him whether this was
the case. No, he said, he was physically
well. What, then, was the matter with
him? [ anxiously inquired ct is my
heroine" he answered "I have got her
i'll such fix that can not extricate her
without slight violation of the rules of
propriety." "Then let her be improper,
and don't let us be late for the train" t
tlippantly said. "My dear FRIEND" he
replied, do you want to ruin me ? Are
you not aware that live by never allow
ing my hcroines to do anything to which
the most stringent mamma might object L?
If once the slightest doubt were raised
about my novels being sound reading for
the most innocent of school-room girls
my occupation would be gone" And so
we missed the train, but the heroine
emerged from the pages Of the novel q
model of all that O heroine ought to do
under difficult circumstances. London

The Man for Her to Love.

A young lady, who says she is young
and handsome, writes: "The man for
me to love is vastly my superior; X
man who will compel my'spirit to bend
its knee to his who will command my
soul to stand still and shine on him, as
Joshua commanded the sun who. can
trample my will to tho DUST" etc. She
should have no difficulty in finding such
man-one who will not only command
her soul to stand still, but who will also
command it's owner to get up first in the
morning to build the fire, split kindlings
and carry up the coal, and whose Ian
gunge will make her hair stand on end
when he comes home and finds dinner
fifteen minutes late. There are lots Of
mon who will bend her spirit for her,
and also make her back bend over O
wash-tub, while they go down to the
saloon and discuss the best method Of
saving the country from the hands of its
political enemies. es.-NorristoaU Herald.

A Journalists Funny Position.

Once a funny thing occurred behind
the scenes that might have been still
funnier. 1t was wet, cold night, and
writer for one Of the papers with his
overcoat on, and his pants rolled up over
his top boots, and an umbrella in his
hand, and an old slouch hat on his head,
stopped q moment to have chat with
Pauline Markham, who was playing
"Stalacta. Markham was waiting be-
low the stage, standing on the trap that
was to bounce her into her fairy realm.
The writer got talkingto Polly, and they
got interested in the chat, and before
they knew it the trap had begun to go
up. Markham noticed it first, and cried
to the reporter, "For heavens sake, get
Oft" But getting off wasn't as easily
done as said. The reporter was pretty
tall md very clumsy, and thoroughly
scared, so he stood lookin' about him
like q fooll-goin' up, up, all the time,
But Markham at last-and just at the
last moment, too, gave the fellow shove
and knocked him off the trap. He struck
his head against the floor Of the stage,
and, then tumbled down on q coil OF
ropes. He might have broken his head,
or his bones, or his back but he didn't.
But it was a mighty close shave, and
Markham kept laughin' to herself oil the
| evenin, thinkin' how the audience would
have rOared to have seen that long, slab
sided fellow, with his dirty wet boots,
| and his rollcd-up brceches, and his slouch
hat, and his old cotton umbrella, comm
up out of cloud-land alongside of her,
in all her silks and satins and spangles,
as the queen of the fairies. .-SnodGy

Kissing.

The Cincinnati Times, in answering
the question, SIS it wrong for lady to
kiss O gentleman when parting, after he
has escorted her home In the evening ?"
says this is q question not devoid of diff
hculties, and we therefore approach it
with some degree of hesitancy. Kissing
was originally mode of salutation
only, and in some countries, we believe,
it is now restricted to that use. AS such
it expresses reverence or worship. 1t is
common, also, in this country and else
where to kiss the hand in salutation.
TO express alteration, various parts of
the body were and are kissed to distin-
guish the character of the alteration
paid. Thus, to kiss the lips is to adore
the living breath of the person saluted !;
to kiss the feet or ground, is to humble
oneself in alteration to kiss the gar
ments, is to express veneration to what
over belongs to or touches the person
who wears them. There are, nowadays,
various kinds of kisses, having various
meanings: "The kiss snatched hasty
from the sidelong maid" (Thompson) ;
kisses "likc grains of gold OF silver
found upon the ground, of no value
themselves, but precious rs showing
that mine is near" (Villiers); "the
kiss Of welcome and of parting-the
long, lingering, loving present one--the
stolen or the mutual one--the kiss OF
love, of JOY and of sorrow-tho seal OF
promise and the receipt Of fulfllment u
(Haliburton) the "long, long kiss, a
kiss of youth and love" Byron). The
kiss "of parting" spoken of by Hall
burton, IS the one under consideration.
Is it proper for Ii young lady to indulge
in it? On general principles we should
say that, if you have reason to admire
the gentleman who escorts you home,
and really feel like kissing him, do 50 !;
if not, refrain. If you love another, re-
frain. 1t might be advisable, also, to
refrain if tho old folks aro i'll hearing
