The Romance OF a Portmanteau.

IRe Romance OF lOrtm0nteau.
A man presented himself at an inn in
Valenciennes, France, and made re-
quest to he admitted, together with a
very bulky portmanteau, which he car
ried on his shoulder. The woman of the
house, having allotted to him second
floor room, offered to help him in carrying
upstairs the burden, which seemed too
fused, on the ground that it contained
articles Of q very dehcate and fragile
nature, and that he could trust it to no
one but himself. He, however, requested
leave to deposit it in a corner of the
tavern until, after resting and refreshing
himself, he should be disposed to carry
it upstairs. When the hour arrived for
closing the house, the portmanteau re-
NAMED still below, and the woman, on
entering the room to put up the shutters,
looked at it, and to her horror perceived
that something moved within it. So
great was the terror that she sank down
speechless and breathless in chair, and
in that position was found by o gen
d'arme, who came to protest against the
late hour at which the place was kept
open. As soon as the cause had been
explained to this minion of the law, he
forgot the primary object of his visit in
his curiosity to explore the mysterious
piece Of luggage, and, drawing his sword,
soon solved all doubts by cutting open
the leather. He had no sooner done 80
than stout man jumped out, pistol in
hand, and fell upon the gen d'arme; but
the latter was on hia ouarf1. and uaed his
weapon with good effect The baggage
and its owner were both accordingly
arrested forthwith, and are now mourn

Brave Women.

The extraordinary courage Of the Al
banian women has been displayed over
and over again in the history of the
country; but one of the most celebrated
instances was that recorded of the branch
OF the Albanian people represented by
the Soliotes, when they were beaieged
by Ali Pasha in 1892. The Suliotes
formed semi-independent confederacy,
comprising sixty-six villages, in the
districts of Margariti, Paramythia and
Janina. Up to the time Of Ali Pa
sha they prided themselves on the
regularity of the payments of their
dues to the Porte. But the in
trigues of the cunning old Veil, who
wanted to get the whole of the spahilik
of Suli into his greedy hands, soon
reused the people into rebellion, and
they commenced their glorious and
heightened war against the far-greater
resources Of the renowned Pasha. The
latter, by means of the duplicity of
which he was such consummate mas
ter, had intrapped Tzavella, one of the
Sullote heads of houses, into his power,
and then laid siege to the town Of Suli.
He endeavored by bribes to induce
Tzavella to turn traitor. Cunning here
met his match; the crafty Suliote pre-
tended compliance, and even left his
own son, Foto, in Ali Pasha's hands as q
hostage. He returned to Suli under
pretense of betraying the town, but no
sooner had he arrived than he sent
letter of defiance to the Pasha. Ali
then assailed the town, and it was here
that the heroism of the Albanian women
became so conspicuous. Mosko, the
wife OF Tzavella, and mother of Foto,
showed prodigies Of valor during the
siege. She broke open some cartridge
boxes with hatchet, and then loaded
them on the other women, and, rushing
into the trenches, distributed them
among the Suliotes. Ali threatened to
roast alive her son Foto butts replied
she was young, and could have other
children, and that she would eat q bit of
The roasted flesh of her son rather than
betray her country.-Black,oood's Mag

Two Children Commit Suicide Toeether


Our Hungarian contemporaries report
peculiarly painful case of double sui
eide committed by two shepherd boys,
respectively aged 10 and II, near Karls-
burg. These lads were in charge of a
flock Of sheep turned out to Craze on
some grass land abutting upon the
Harrisburg -Arad railway, and had been
several times reproved by the watchman
stationed near their pasturage ground
for allowing the sheep to stray on the
line. On the 9Th inst, just as the Arad
express came in sight, several sheep had
wandered down the embankment and
were in imminent danger of being
crushed by the train, from which, how
ever, they were rescued by the timely
Intervention of the watchman in ques-
passed, called up the boys and told them
that he would have them severely pun
ished for neglecting their duty and his
repeated warnings. The terrified lads
held consultation together as to how
they might escape the threatened PEN
atty, and speedily came to the conclusion
that the best way of getting out Of their
scrapewouldbe to drown themse Ives.
One of them had just had new hat,
adorned with gay peacock's feather,
given to him, which he sold for 13 kreu-
zers to little peasant girl, who had
been at play with the boys when the
dreadful menace of punishment was i'm
parted to them. With the price of this
hat he purchased some small loaves,
and the three children sat down by the
Maros to hold their Pamona," or
death-feast, and, this being terminated,
the boys climbed the parapet of the Ma
ros bridge; their tiny playmate counted
aloud, "One, two, three,' and at the
word "three" they sprung, hand-in-
hand, into the river, sinking immedi-
the surface of the rapid stream was
partially covered.-Loedon Telegraph.

The Wicked Child.

They don't let dogs nor children 60 in

sofa, so nobody could see me; and Mr..
Boyce came in, and Miss Jackson she
said one day that children was wofse
nulsances than dogs. And Mr.. Boyce
and Miss Jackson came in and sat down
on the sofa, and he said, "Oh, Louisa, I
do love you so much" and then he
kissed her: I heard it smack. And
then she said, "Oh, Thomas, I do wish I
could believe you; don't you never kiss
anybody else?" and he aid, "No, dear

A Joke on a Bish0D.

A good story is told of a well-known
Episcopal Bishop. The Bishop is very
staid, glum sort of a good man, and the
last one in the world to enjoy joke, e.
pecially one on himself. A waggish
friend, meeting him in car, astonished
him by exclaiming, after reference to
his high-ch1lrch principles:
"Why, Bishop, hear that on Easter
you appear in your pulpit with o crown
aud PALM"
"What!" exclaimed the Bishop in as
tonishment. "Nonsenso! You know
BETTER"
eyes," repeated the other, with a
crown on your head and palm in your
hand"
"It is ibeli WHO could have start
ed such story?" responded the dis
tlnguished prelate, warmly. "Bu
pshaw it is idle to talk about it; it is 81
absurd"
The conversation was changed, but
the Bishop did not forget his friends
words; they preyed on his mind and
worried him; he was afraid the ibelous,
atrocious report would get into the pa
pers, and then it would become a popu-
lhily -accepCeu 1act WHICH tnere WO1lO DC
no denying.
He sought for his friend the next day
at his Office, for the purpose of learning
the origin of the outrageous story; but
the other, who is considerable of wag,
sorely vexed the spirit of the accom-
plished prelate before he would make
any satisfactory explanation, and then,
with laugh and a twinkle Of the eyes,
he exclaimed:
"Why, Bishop, haven't you a crown
on your head, and palm in your hand?
See !"
The Bishop was so much pleased with
the explanation that he succeeded in
raising a laugh; though the expression
of fierce solemnity that settled on his
features, as he left shortly after, leads
his friend to believe that he did not thor
oughly enjoy the joke.

Remains Of Gothic Architecture.

A most interesting discovery of q
beautiful vestlge of Gothic architecture,
in excellent preservation, has been made
beneath the house at the southeast cor
ner of Leadenhall, and directly opposite
Aldgate pump, in London. The arches
and vaults in the basement have hither-
to been used as storehouse for wood
and other materials, but the extreme
beauty of the architecture, particularly
the sculpture and granting, led to an in
vestigation. After the most diligent re-
search, it was ascertained to be the re-
mains of a chapel dedicated to St.
Michael, and is designated by old his
torians as "next AID It appears
to be of very great antiquity, having
been built by Norman, prior to st. Kath-
crime, of the Holy Trinity, in the reign
Of Henry I. and his Queen Mathilda, Of
Boulogne, about the year 1108, and is
now nearly $50 years old. Tho chapel
consists Of pillars and arches. Its length
from north to south is 48 feet, and its
breadth from east to west 16 feet. The
walls are constructed with oblong blocks
of chalk, similar to those of Rochester
Castle. The arches are of stone. the
keys of which are beautifully sculptured
with knots and other devices, and exhib-
it at a glance the skillful masonry of
our ancestors. The chapel has been
filed with soil and rubbish nearly to the
capital of the pillars. From the ground
to the crown Of the arches is 10 feet, and,
allowing the shafts to be buried Is
feet, gives height of 20 feet to the in
terror of the building. The iron hinges
and easements are still attached to the
walls, from which circumstance it is con-
jectured that the structure originally
stood on the surface, but that in subse-
quent years the ground outside was
raised gradually until at last the relic of
past ages was completely buried. At the
southern extremity there is an appear
ance Of an arched passage in the direc-
ton of St. Katherine's docks, the site of
which the priory of st. Katherine's
formerly occupied.
