Old Bazembee Makes Reputation.

Old Bazembee had returned from the
club the other evening, when, as he
hung up his overcoat on the hall hat
rack and prepared to 60 up stairs, he
heard such strangely-excited voices in
the front parlor that he paused to lis
ten.
A voice, that he recognized at once
as belonging to that fast looking young
Snyder he had warned Maria to be care
full about, said contemporary:
s'Peace, woman, and weary me no
longer by your reproaches. | tell you
the day of wedding with Alice Mon
tressor is fixed, and by heavens nothing
shall prevent my union!'
Could these words be addressed to
his own daughter? Yes, it was indeed
Maria's sob-choked tones that replied:
''This, then, is the reward for my sac
rifice, my devotion. Ruined and for
saken, you taunt me with your latest
conquest. Monster-cowardn
1t only required second for Bazem-
bee to rush up stairs and get shotgun
out of the closet. The next moment he
burst into the parlor with blazing eyes,
and, hurting the black-hearted betrayer
to the floor, he placed the muzzle of his
breech-loader at his temple, Kissing:
''Villain, swear to me that you will
make an honest woman of this poor
duped angel or I will strew the floor
with your devilish brainsp'
s.Hoorayr' shouted young Snyder,
sitting and clapping his hands. That's
way up. Magnif! Splendidr'
Beautiful, papa. Encore! Encore!
Bravor' added Maria, delightedly. 81
never saw anything better at Bald
wins"
s.Ehp What? I-er-erp' STAN
mered the bewildered parent, ground
ing arms.
1--WE were so afraid that you would
object to my taking part in the private
theatricals. Ma said you'd never listen
to it. But you act better than any of
us--doesn't he, Bobbv?'
''You bet," replied Bobby, fervently.
ssGuess you must have been an amateur
Macready once, SIR
Then Mr.. Bazembee coughed and
wiped his forehead, and mumbled about
his having seen good deal of that sort
of thing when he was young, and that
Maria must be sure to take in the mat
when her young friend had gone, and
then went up to bed and dreamed he
was playing an outraged community to
crowded houses all night.

Poison Rings.

Poison rings still exist, says London
paper, in many antiquarian collections.
They are generally of two kinds, one
intended as an engine of destruction to
its wearer, the other simply as 9. con-
venient receptacle or hiding place for
poison. Some years ago ring Of the
former description was purchased at a
sale of curiosities. Its device was two
sharp-pointed claws holding stone.
The purchaser, slipping it on his finger,
received slight scratch from these
claws; the points of which bent inward.
His hand and arm very shortly became
swelled and painful; doctor was sent
for. who pronounced the slight scratch
poisoned. Examination of the ring
showed that the claws were hollow,
and that 4 poisonous matter had been
contained in them; doubtless when first
made the ring would have caused death,
instead of merely inconvenience to its
wearer.
Rings intended to contain poison arc
frequently mentioned in ancient history;
it was common to carry one as con-
venient means of suicide. By such q
ring Demo sthenes probably destroyed
himself, and some historians say danni-
bal likewise M. Crassus, the overseer
of the temple of the Capitoline Jupiter,
being arrested on charge of purloining
some of the gold deposited there, broke
hollow receptacle of his ring with his
teeth, and fell dead on the spot. The
Emperor Heliogabalus is said to have
a collection of these poison rings among
his jewels.

The steamer White Eagle, OF the St. Louis

The river 1t p N. yesterday was twelve
feet, eleven inches, having been nearly station
airy yesterday. It's highest stage of last month
was thirteen feet.
A telegram to Capt. Johu H. Reaney from
Capt. Abe Hutchinson, agent of the st. Louis

carried away her starboard wheel and was
badly broken in the collision with the Hamil-

water on her larboard side and six feet on her
starboard side.
A neat little steamer, christened the Fury,
but registered in the governments river SER

as "No. 81 landed at the ST..

by Capt Rus. Ruley, late IN the st. Croix

BILE river man. Capt. Ruley began steamboat

had large experience as mate, pilot and cap
tain, for many years, his steamboatiug bust
ness familiarlzing him with the very sort of
work he has to perform in the river improve
ment service, to which he is q valuable acqui-
slton.

Nice Detective Service in NeU Orleans
Several murders have shown that
some, ii not all, of the detectives con-
nected with the New Orleans police de-
partment are scoundrels. Detective Har-
ris was appointed on the strength of
sklllful service as spy in the rebellion,
and he proved efficient when there was
sufficient incentive, for he got IS, 900 in
one year in rewards from insurance COM
panies for the detection Of incendiaries.
But he found still greater
profit in protecting gamblers and other
blacklegs. Hewas also accused of caus-
ing the assassination, in the interest of
some illicit distillers of a government in
former. Then his own turn came. He
refused to share blackmail money with
Detective Devereaux, who had aided him
in levying it, and in revenge Devereaux
killed him, escaping punishment because
there were no honest witnesses of the
crime That happened three years ago.
Detectives Dave and Mike Hennessy
were as bad as Devereaux in repu-
tation, one having been implicated in a
murder, and both competing with him as
blackmailers. Jealous quarrels arose,
and lately Devereaux was fired at in the
night The gun exploded in the hands
of the assassin, wounding him, so that he
was subsequently identified as an adher-
ent of the Hennessys. Trusting no
longer to others, they deliberately cor
nered DevereauX in saloon, in broad
daylight, and murdered him, but not be-
fore return shot had seriously wounded
Mike Now there is little talk of re-
forming the detective force.

The Austrian Emperor at Home.

Schloss Godollo, says The London
Globe, once belonged to the Greek
millionaire, Baron Sina, and was pur-
chased from him by the Hungarian ma
ton and presented to the royal couple.
The main building is reserved for roy
atty and the members of the royal
household ladies and gentlemen in
waiting, the chaplain, tutor, etc., whilst
guests, of whom there are always
many, and ministers, and attendants
are accommodated in separate wing.
The brown and finely-wooded avenue,
connecting the upper and lower park,
is brilliantly lighted all night, for peo-
pie are continually passing to and fro,
guests coming and leaving by the train,
kilograms being received and dispatch
ed, arrangements for battnes made, and
dozen other operations tending to
lend this road an animated aspect day
and night. The cooks have to be at
their posts at A. NJ, for his majesty
takes an early meal at $50 before tax
ing himself to his shooting. The scene
of this very matutinal sport often lies
several miles off, and has to be reached
in dogcart, and the 60ttNe commences
at daybreak. His majesty never fires
on the quarry unless it is in movement;
if the deer comes slowly toward him
along the drive, and then, as often hap
pens, remains standing, Franz Joseph
does not draw the trigger till the ami
NAL has been scared and begins to
bound away. Then he lets fly, and the
aim is wonderfully steady, so that the
game hardly ever gets away.
By 9 o'clock the emperor is back
again at home and sitting at his work
table, whilst the courier, is already
waiting with the mornings dispatches.
The formidable pile is boldly attacked
by the king and his two secretaries.
Then comes the court, councillors, and
ministers, who leaves the monarch no
peace till his o'clock dejeuneT-a bot
tie of beer and half a bottle of red wine,
with plain cut off the joint, in the usual
menu-which is followed by a Virginia
cigar and more work till the clock
strikes 8. Archduchess Valerie, her
maiesty's youngest child, receives her
parents in her separate apartments
every evening at $50. The 13-year old
little lady does the honors with all the
grace and ease of the ''dame du mon
de,' and it is considered a mark of
great esteem for a guest to be invited
to this family circle. At 10 the emper-
OF goes to bed, no matter who is at Co.
dolIo. or what is going on.

A Pioneer Michigan Editor,

The pioneer editors of Michigan were
a frank and truthful lot of men, as can
be proven by an incident called to mind
the other day in connection with the
name of Mark Williams, who gave up
his life for better one not long ago.
Mark had a paper in Clinton County.
Ct was wee little sheet with 81 hundred
subscribers, printed the hardest way,
and the Office was so poorly supplied
that several different fonts of aype had
to be used to set up the reading matter.
One day the paper came out with q
fierce attack on a State officer at Lam
sing. He was called robber, liar,
thief, and various other epithets, and no
pains were spared to skin him and hang
his hide on the fence. About week
from that date Mark sat smoking beech
leaves and tobacco mixed in equal parts,
when a stranger entered. He was a
big, broad-shouldered man, with awful
fists and wicked eye. and he got down
to business by asking:-"Are you Mark
Williams?" ''Well, yes, suppose
SOL was the hesitating reply. "And
you run this paperp'' s'Well, kinder
run it, 1 suppose Every well, am
Mr., of Lansing, the man whom
you abused SO savagely in your columns
last week" s'No!' eyes 1 am, and I
propose to give you the worst mauling
western slanderer ever receivedH'
ssSay, are you really Mr.-P' asked
Mark. 81 am, of course / am, and
while I am taking off my coat, you
may give your reasons for publishing
that slanderous article.' 81 had two
reasons, sir" ''What are theyP"
'Well, in the first place, thought
you were little runt of a man, about
four feet high and about dead with the
asthma, and in the next place !! thought
the roads were so Internal bad that you
could never get over hsre." The
straightforward confession should have
saved Mark, but it didn't. The visitor
made o dive for him, took ont: q hand
full of hair. and when the editor jumped
through the only window in the office
be was followed and chased into an old
slashing, where he had to remain hid
den until midnight. That accident
planned his future policy, as he
one day explained:-"The editorial
pen is an ALFRED big lever, but | have
made it 9 rule for the last thirty years
never to abuse man unless think l
can lick him in rough and tumble
fight around the editorial ROOM"

Women Whose Husbands Gamble.

New Jersey Court of Chancery.l
That a husband CANDLES and does
not properly support his wife, in conse-
quence of which she leaves him, does
not constitute desertion by him on
which to decree divorce. 1t is re-
cognized principle that when a husband
treats his wife with such cruelty or vio-
lence that she is obliged to leave him
for safety, OF to avoid personal injury,
this compulsory flight amounts to de-
sertion by him, and if he does not seek
her and try to persuade her to return,
with promises Of amendment, such COM
pulsory leaving and consequent remain
ing away from him, if continued for the
requisite time, will be regarded as
equivalent to wilful and obstinate de-
sertion by him. But if she leaves him
because he CANDLES away his money
and does not properly suppsrt her, her
leaving him cannot be held to be de-
sertion by him.

sIndian Jim,' OF James Jacobs, q
famous hunter of the Seneca tribe, was
found dead in the woods of Totter coun-
ty, Pennsylvania, lately by party Of
hunters. He was 80 years old, and it
is supposed he died of heart disease.
During his life Jim took great pride in
wearing the typical dress of the back
woods. and was always seen in beaded
moccasins, buckskin breeches, doe
skin shirt, and velvet vest. He was
known far and wide, his trapping and
hunting territory extending from the
headwaters of the Lackawaxen river to
the Susquehanna and Delaware, and
embracing nearly one hundred square
miles of wooded country.
