A NARROWING TAIL.

Not long since Texas man read in
a paper that If string were tied lightly
around the root of mules tail, it
would. in case Of collie, give the animal
instant relief He tried tho remedy on
one of his own mules, and the doctors
say that the portion of the tail thus
isolated was soon swelled up bigger
than the mule. The Texas man says
the mule turned his head and saw his
monstrous tail, and got alarmed and
began to kick.
The FIRST kick drove the males tail
away out behind, but the tail immedi-
ately swung back and knocked the
mule forward little-the tail was SO
heavy. That made the mule madder
than ever, and it kicked like fury, and
1t only gave the tail more momentum
The tail, on its return, knocked the
mule abeut rod.
The mule looked around and didn't
see anybody, and kicked again. The
tail was there rs calm and regular as
pendulum, and it came back like q
steamboat running a race. That time
it lifted the mule ever the barnyard
fence; but the mule lit on his feet aad
struck out again as game as ever. The
tail fairly laughed as it caught the mule
on its launches and drove it down the
lane mile and half every whack.
1t looked like destruction to the
mule as mule and tail disappeared i'll
the distance but after three or four
hours returning cloud of dust was
seen, and soon the mule emerged there
from and WIS kicking as briskly as
ever, but the tail was totally used up
and gone. Net being able to offer any
more resistance, of course the mule
kicked himself back to the starting
point.

sons, the American missionary who, with
his servant, was murdered near Ismid,
was making tour in the mountains, and
encampsd by the roadside in the vicinity
of some zuruks, a ssmi.nomadic tribe.
Two Zuruk shepherds confessed they shot
thetwo travellers as they slept, and robbed
them OF their money, amounting to less
than S.. As DR.. Parsons did not reach
his destination at the expected time, and
a, his horses were found wandering about
the hills, his friends instituted search,
and the bodies were discovered under
some bushes. The authorities, hearing q
dispatch on the subject had been sent te
the British Embassy, showed more than
usual zeal, and by threatening wholesale
arrests induced the Zuruks TO surrender
the criminals, who are now imprisoned.
During half o century OF American mis-
sionary enterprise in Turkey this is only
the third case Of murder OF missionary,
and It is only just.to the Turks to state
that none OF the crimes proceeded from
religious ianatioism. The present state
OF public insecurity does not proceed from
fanatical feeling, but from wholly differ
ent causes, for which the Government Ia
mainly responsible. Among these may
be mentioned the system OF sending Cir
cassians, Lazes and other warlike refugees
into peaceful districts. A few days age
two large shiploads Of Circassians and La
zes landed In the Gull Of Ismid, near tn,
spot where DR.. Parsons was murdered. Al
lii Is pretty certain that no measures viii
be taken TO give these lawless Immigrant
means OF gaining an honest living, W,
shall probably hear soon OF other cases o
robbery and murder.

He was q member OF the convention
that reorganized the Government of the

The extensive planing-mill Of Arm

by FIRE tonight. The flames broke out
about .hali-past eleven o'clock. near the

The residence Of Julius Armstrong,
Henry Over, James Kelly aud others, in
proximity to the mill, were endangered by
the fierce heat aud were saved with diff

stroyed before they could be moved to a
place OF safety from the B. & o, railroad be-
side the mill. Had the air not been calm
the effect would have bean disastrous in
the extreme, US there are many frame
buildings within sufficient proximity to
have been ignited by dying sparks. As it

would indicate that 1t was of incendiary
origin, as no fire is allowed to remain in
the building over Sunday. The loss, it is
estimated, wilI exceed $4,000, and may
reach $4,000. Fhs building was insured
for about 81 ,0OO, the AMOUNT being divided
among several companies.
The building occupied by the mill was a

The recitals OF Mr.. and Mrs. ]. R. Scott
in City Hall, last week, afforded our
people most enjoyable literary treat.
The programme included Eve recitals by
Mr.. and four by Mrs. Scott, concluding
with lively comedy. II We measure the
merits Of the performance by the rapt at.
tention and keen enjoyment OF the
audience, the grade will be high. 1.-THE
Fall Of Pemberton Mills" descriptive and
pathetic, was rendered by Mrs. s. with
such yiyidness and depth Of feeling as TO
be painful. Tears were falling from the
eyes Of many. The picture was only less
thrilling than the reality. The "Exertlon
Party" by Mrs. s., WAS greeted with
roars Of laughter. She is TO the humorous
born; 1t Is her natl 70 element. Her forte
is clearly the pathetic and the humorous.
Mr.. scott's "Phaidrig Crohoore" was won.
derfully true to life, strong and impress.

cellent both in dialect and manner. The
entertainment is calculated TO amuse, In

and her success. m
