Shrewd Detective Work.

When the $4,000 robbery was com
mitted on the United States Express
Company two years ago by James Gil
more, copy Of the Commercial contain.
ing an account of the affair fell into the
hands of one of the companys drivers at
Galena, III. He sat so long over the
paper as to attract the attention of the
agent, who asked him what he was read
ing, and the reply was given, can ac-
count Of the Gilmore robbery. / have
read it three times, and let me tell you
they will never find that money" He
LAID the paper down thoughtfully and
strolled out to the door, where he stood
leaning against post long time in a
meditative mood Not long afterwards
a $4,000 package was missed from the
GaIena Office, and the little incident Just
related recurring to the agent, ne re-
ported his suspicious to headquarters,
and the drivers arrest followed. Trial
came Oh and failure to sustain the
charge resultedin the prisoners acouittal,
who attempted to turn the tables by a
suit for damages by reason of false i'm
prisonment. This case also came to
nothing, and the driver, who for coLven
fence will be called Brown, after idling
about the town for while, disappeared.
Disappeared is not the word, as the man
from the hour of his dismissal was shad-
owed by detective during all of his
subsequent wanderings.
Brown, on leaving Galena, went West,
finally to California, and thence to a
point Oh the Southern Pacific Railroad,
where he bought out paper Of small
circulation for 500, which he ran for
awhile; but at last the irresistible long
ing to return home caused him to sell
out, and he once more appeared upon
the streets of Galena, after an absence
of year and half, but SO altered both
physically and mentally, that his init
mate friends scarcely knew him. Two
or three weeks later his untiring shadow
felt that the case was ripe, and procur-
ing search warrant, he went to the
house, and in the bottom of Browns
trunk his eyes were delighted by the
sight of the missing treasure. The bills
were in a weeful plight, mouldy and
damp, and stuck together in a matted
heap, a condition brought about by long
burial under ground. They were for
warded to the Treasury Department at
Washington, where, under careful man
ipulation by experts, the bundle was
found to contain $4,000. Brown after
committing the theft took $4,000 and
buried the remainder. On returning to
Galena he unearthed it, and it was then
in the condition described. Brown,
under the laws, could not be tried twice
for the same ofiense, but he was ar
rested on the charge of perjury and is
now serving ten years sentence for it

Burial in Naples.

Arrived at the gateway we are told by
the old custode" that the public is no
longer admitted to assist at the funerals.
"But l have an order from the Project. u
That alters the case" he said, as he
opened the door. For the last twenty
years, every time I have visited this
horrible spot have been told that new
land has been bought, and that the old
Campo Santo is to be closed. But all
that has been done is this:-Irritated by
the repeated protests of Italians from
the other provinces and Of foreigners,
the authorities have shut out the public
from a spectacle that is as difficult as it
is loathsome to describe. The enormous
churchyard is divided into 365 squares !;
in each square stone with an iron ring
in the center closes up separate hole
which is opened on the same day every
successive year. Thanking the church
on the left side of the yard are lot of
boxes left in the wall, which opening
downward, serve as temporary coffins.
In these were nine babies and little
children, each with flower in its mouth.
"And La Raffaele2" / asked. The
Raffaele used to give the little corpses
each a kiss, to send them more quickly
to Paradise. "Oh, we don't have her
now, as the children don't get buried till
the morning. AS he spoke, up came
the funeral car of the Royal Albergo del
Poveri. The flap of the car fell back
ward, leaden tray such as is used for
transporting slaughtered oxen was
dragged out, and the body of man,
dressed in natures clothing, was taken
up head and heels and flung into box
by the church wall.
Next came the carrozzone of the
municipality, all gilt and splendor, like
the Lord Mayors carriage, and out of it
was taken corpse-this time with some
clothing on it. He is particolare
said the guardian. And it appeared
that he had had the fortune 10 die
among his own people. Presently the
priest appeared, and hole No. 2l2 was
opened. The particolare was thrown
into zinc box, which, by means of a
crane was lifted over the open hole and
lowered down. Then came the car Of
the Incurabili, with the hashed forms
which had rendered their last service to
humanity on the dissecting table Of the
hospital. These we've pitched into the
hole on top of the rest; and above these
tomorrow morning, would repose the
dead little ones whose mothers had
placed flower in their mouths. "Basta!"
said my companion. And it will prob.
ably satisfy the veriest sceptic as TO the
miseries to which the poor of Naples are
subject to visit the Campo Santo Wee

How the Pyramids were Built.

The pyramids are the tombs of the
early kings. Perfectly adjusted to the
cardinal points of the horizon, they diff
fer in breadth and hight, as is shown by
the measurements of the three Oldest, as
follows: /. The Pyramid of Khufa,
hight, 44O.75 feet; breadth, TAG feet;
2. Pyramid Of Khafra, hight, 447.5
feet; breadth, 69075 feet. 3. Pyra
mid of Menkara, hight, 203 feet;
breadth, 352.7S feet, The construction
OF these enormous masses has long been
an insoluble mystery, but later genera
tons have succeeded il solving the
problem.
As soon as the king mounted the
throne, he gave orders to nobleman,
the master of all the buildings of his
land, to plan the tomb and cut the
stone The kernel OF the future edifice
was raised on the limestone soil Of the
desert, in the form of a small pyramid
built in steps, of which the well con-
structed and finished interior formed the
kings eternal dwelling with his stone
sarcophagus lying on the rocky floor. A
second covering was added, stone by
stone, on the outside Of the kernel; a
third to this second, and to this even a
fourth; and the mass Of the giant build
ing grew greater the longer the king en-
loved existence. And then, at last,
when it became almost impossible to ex-
tend the area of tee pyramid further, a
casing Of hard stone, polished like glass,
and fitted accurately into the angles OF
the steps, covered the mass Of the Sc
pulchre, presenting gigantic triangle
on each of its four faces.
More than seventy such pyramids
once rose on the margin Of the desert,
each telling Of king Of whom it was at
once tomb and monument. Had not
the greater number Of these sepulchres
of the Pharaohs been destroyed almost
TO the foundation, and had the names Of
the builders of these whi,h stand been
accurately preserved, it would have beer
easy for the inquirer TO prove and make
clear by calculation what was originally
and Of necessity, the proportion between
the masses OF the pyramids and the
| years Of the reigns OF their respective
builders.

Famous Men and Cats.

Our domestic orites-cats-were
not highly thought of in the Middle
Ages. They We're then looked on as Sa-
tanic agents and were burnt alive. In
Paris every St. Johns Day number of
the abhorred animals were heaped up in
baskets and bags in the Place de Greve,
to afford an suto-da-fe, the Sovereign
himself setting fire to the pile. This
practice continued for long time, the
last monarch who ofiiciated in this man
ner being Louis XIV. The prosecutors
Of the feline race were, no doubt, ignor-
ant Of the fact that cats had been the
object of supersti,ious veneration in ear
ly times. In Egypt, for instance, the
cat was deifed, as the patron OF liberty,
and similar respect was shown it
throughout nearly the whole of the East.
The Turks still regard 'Tabby" as the
"cleanest" Of all animals; Mahomet him.
self, indeed, having had a great liking
for cats, it is only natural that all good
Mussulmans should profess the same af-
lection.
1t is not in the East alone, however,
that the feline tribe have managed to
acquire a secure and recognized position
in society. Many great men have had
an inordinate fondness for cats. Richie
lieu's special favorite was a splendid An
CORA: his furry confidents usual resting
place being his Eminence's table,amongst
State documents, books, etc. Montaigne
used to obtain relaxation by playing
with his cat. Colbert reared halt doz
en- cats In his private study, and taught
them, after a lengthy display of patience
to perform all sorts of tricks. Fonten
ellie was very fond of cats, and used to
place particular old tom" in an arm
chair and deliver an Grafton before him
We must not forget, too, thatfelis catu'
supplied Perrault with one of the mos;
attractive subjects of his stories, and
that under the pen Of this admirable
storyteller, "Puss in Boots" has become
an example Of the power Of work, in
dustry and savolr-faire.

The Kings Death.

Mr. Macready was fond of telling the
following story as his experience Of
American independence, exemplifed in
a western actor Of the sef-satistied kind
"In the last act of Hamlet said he, 81

who was rather Of Democratic turn of
mind, to fall, when stabbed him, over
the steps of the throne and on the right
hand side, with his feet to the left, in
order that VIXEN | was to fall ! should
have the centre of the stage to myself,
as betting the principal parsonage OF
the tragedy. No objection was made to
this request on the part of the ector;
but at night to my great surprise, he
wheeled directly around after receiving
the sword thrust, and deliberately fell in
the middle of the scene, just on the spot
where l was in the habit of dying. Well
as dead man cannot move himself,
and as there was TO time for others to
do it, the Kings body remained in poses

When I expostulated with his Maj
esty for the liberty he had taken, ne
coolly replied: Mr.. Macready, We wes-
tern people know nothing about kings,
except that they have an odd trick OF
doing as they please; therefore / thought
as was king, l led right to die
wherever 1 - pleased; and so, sir, l
fell back upon my kingly rights. from
which, you perceive, sir, there is no ap-
peal 1 RETIRED said Mr.. Macready, ste

Turkish and German Army Off,
GERS Cortrasted.

The request Of the Porte to be allowed
to serd number of Turkish officers to
Germany to complete their military ed
ucation having been acceded to, twenty
of the pupils who have passed the exam
nation at the Military School in Oen-
stantinople satisfactorily are at once to
proceed to Germany to be instructed in
the practical duties Of their profession,
and to visit various military educa-
tional establishments there That the
Turkish officers will derive great benefit
from their sojourn with the German
troops is very certain hut apparently
it is feared that, at first at all events,
the newcomers may not receive very
warm welcome from the officers of the
regiments or corps to which they may be
attached.
The position Of an officer in Germany
is VIGOROUSLY very different to that Of
an officer in Turkey. The officers of the
German army are almost without excep-
ton of good family, well educated and
often men of considerable intellectual
attainments. In Turkey, on the other
hand, the officers of the army are as a
rule the sons of smaller tradesmen, arti-
sans, Or subordinate officers A Turk
of good position will rarely allow his
son to enter the army, preierring that
he should join the diplomatic service OF
become one of the officers of the Porte,
since by adopting either Of the latter
careers he will obtain much higher pay
and more rapid advancement. Conse-
quently, while IN Germany the officer is
careful with whom he associates, and
otherwise imposes many restraints upon
himself, the Turkish officer goes about ,
in the most frayed and shabby uniform, |,
smokes his nargileh contentedly in the
most miserable cafe, in company with
porters and Iaborers, and IN every way
does just what pleases him and best
suits the generally impoverished state of
his finances without offending any one,
or dreaming for moment thar he is
giving cause of offence, 1t is therefore
feared that officers OF such different
habits of life may no: at first agree very
well together.

AN UNHAPPY PRINcEss.-Almost
every week / notice foolish and servile
assertions that Princess Louise is de-
lighted with Canada, and that anything
TO the contrary is a mischievous inven-
ton. That the Princess dislikes either
the people or the country is false, but is
perfectly true that she very much dis
likes her residence there; and it would
be odd if she did not. An eminent
Canadian said TO me- last week "Of
course she does, and everybody knows it
and understands it; there is nothing to
resent in the fact. The Princess is
separated from her family, has none of
her friends near her, and is inevitably
out of the court swim" which, to those
who have been accustomed to court,
is an intolerable deprivation. As to the
visit of Her Royal Highness to this
country, it was quite sudden idea, and
was resolved On after Prince Leopold's
accident, and Her Majesty's command
for his immediate return. | hear that
the Queen has expressed her desire that
the Princess should 90 back to CansAs
as soon after her return from Germany
as may be convenient 10 her.

Useful Monkeys.

At recent meeting of the Asiatio
Society of Bengal, Mr.. L. Schwendler
gave an instance of Langular monkey
(Semnopithecus entellus) having been
taught to do useful work. Mr.. Schwen-
dler's Trustworthy informant" was Babu
B. Pyne, a member of the government
telegraph department The ,Batu says
"Some years ago l had Langula:,
which, when standing erect, measured
fully two feet six inches. The animal
was very powerful and could easily pull
a punkha measuring eight feet in length.
1t was male, and even when young
showed disposition to be savage. The
older it got the more savage it became.
Seeing the great power this monkey had
l wanted to utilize it. and therefore III
tended to employ it for the purpose Of
pulling punkhas. The teaching l effect
ed in the following manner: The mon
key was tied by the waist close to a
strong pole, so that it could not move
either backwards or forwards, or right
or left. Both hands were tied to rope
attached to punkha, which was regu-
larly pulled from the other side by a
man. Thus the animal had to sit in
one place, and could not move its hands
up and down with the punkha rope In
this way the monkey in a comparatively
short time learned to pull the punkha
by itself, and was so employed by me for
several years. 1t always kept in first
rate health, enjoyed its work immensely
and did it equally we'll, if not better
than coolie. During the rains it suf-
fered from fever, and ultimately died.
Putting now this trained monkey in the
place where the man used to pull the
punkha, and a new Langular where the
trained monkey formerly sat, 7 attempt
ed TO teach successfully four more mon
keys, two of which were females. 1
succeeded perfectly in teaching the
males, but was quite unsuccessful with
the females
Mr.. Schwendler said there is certain
amount intelligence required to do this
work, since their arms in their up and
down movements, have to keep time
with the swinging punkha. Mr..
Schwendler mentioned some other in
stances in which the display of intelli-
gence by monkeys had been noticed. In
particular he mentioned case in which
a monkey, which had sustained fall
from trusting to rotten branch while
swinging on tree, had been observed
afterward to examine the branches of
the tree, and to break off those which it
found to be rotten. Some discussion
ensued as to whether the monkey in this
case was the result of intelligence, and
some of the members present were Of
the opinion that it might have been the
result simply of anger caused by the
fall. Mr.. Schwendler, however, stated
that he had for long made the habits of
animals study, and that he was con-
WINGED Of the fact that monkeys were
possessed Of much intelligence; and he
vouched for the authenticity OF the state
ments made IN the paper read regarding
the monkeys which were taught to pull
punkha.
