HjndO0 Saints Tricks,

LOnuOn UlODe.
When lately returning from Bonn
bay to Indore, Mahrajah Holkar fell in
with q sanity old gentleman named
Jasawant Rao, of Ghoes miraculous
powers very strange tale are told. One
day the wife of wealthy native mer-
chant dropped her nose-ring while in
the act of presenting cocoanut to a
man. In vain did he politely request
the lady to pick up her jewel; she VOW
ed that she could not be gailty of such
profanity after it had fallen of its own
accord at his feet So Jasawant Rao
gave the ring to another woman who
happened to be standing by, and re-
turned the cocoanut to the merchants
wife, with directions that on reaching
home she was to battle, and then
break open the nut with her own
hands. These instructions being faith
fully carried out, the lady was reward
for her piety by finding her nose orna-
ment inside the cocoanut. Such is the
tale as related by a correspondent of a
leading native Journal, who evidently
believes implicitly in its truth. Nc
doubt, clever piece of jugglery.

her bent arms. One foot of the brass

takes place. Out runs the water from
a hole in the bottom of the cup under

not apparently penetrate to the inside,
and the stream never ceases for q mo-
ment until every drop is drained out
There is a small hole in the side OF the

A Lazy Woman.
CINCINNATI Gazette.

A very peculiar case came up in
Justice Schwab's court yesterday after
noon. The case was one IN which
J. S. Stokes had sworn out warrant
for the arrest of Mrs. Fenalson. the
wife of his partner in business which
they carry on at 6S8 West sixth street.
The woman it is said, had threatened
to shoot Stokes, whom she accused Of
tampering with her husband in such a
manner that that individual refused to
give her any money. In court the facts
were brought out on the testimony Of
the woman herself to the effect that
she had done no work for eighteen
years past, and in all that time has
sat in chair, having woman wait on
her, and more thanthat. she did not in
tend to work for the simple reason that
she got married for the express purpose
of acquiring a position in which she
would have nothing to do. The case
was decided against Mrs. Fenalson, and
when the justice told her that she must
give bonds to keep the peace, she re-
fused point blank TO consent. Accord
ingly she was sent to the county Jail.

The Cars Fright.


The czar is reported as completely
broken down. Correspondents who
have visited Gatschina recently, say it
is pitiable to see what wreck this man
of herculean frame has become since
his fathers murder. 1t was thought at
first he would defy nihilists, and when
he appeared once or twice at reviews
and other public ceremonies his brave
and manly bearing elected hearty APP
plause from the people, but since he
issued the proclamation of autocracy"
and called in Ignatief, Alexander III
has almost withdrawn from public view.
1t is not grief for his father, but sheer
fright. The shock of the assassination
completely Frustrated the czarina, and
her nervousness has affected the car.
His palace at Gatzchina is perfect
arsenal. Cordons of trusty Cossacks
surround the whole district, and the
palace itself is guarded night and day
by police and picked officers of the
line. The czar lives in state of siege.
All visitors, except high officers of state,
are seached, and at night there is a
password and countersign, not only for
the precincts of the palace, but for all
the roads approaching it. Like all the
Romanoffs, Alexander III is supersti-
tious. Just before the assassination, the
late cars household was upset by the
discovery of a dead pigeon in the main
courtyard of the winter palace, which
had been killed by an eagle. Gatschina
is now terrified by an omen of more
dire and sinister import. During a
storm of thunder and lightning, on
June 4. granite statue of the En-
peror Paul was overthrown and the
sentries guarding it killed. There is a
legend that
When falls Paul's column, dies the Gar,
And Russians upon Russia war.
The deed was done in eighteen-one,
And when twice forty years are run,
Wall, Russia, for thy crowned one.
And the car believes as firmly as the
most ignorant peasant that the prophe-
CIV was not fulfilled by the murder of
Alexander II, but that 1881 will witness
a civil war and the overthrow of the
dynasty. The court will soon remove
to Peterhoff, which has a small port at
the mouth of the Neva.

Put-up Job ON the Passengers.
Omaha Herald.

Last Sunday, as the eastern bound
Union Pacific express ran into the lit
tie mining-town of Hillard, Wyo., there
was observed man, who looked as if
he had all the bad elements of human
ity combined in him, bound tightly to
a telegraph pole near the depot, by
rope, two or three armed sentinels
standing guard over him, while a
second rope dangled gracefully and
significantly from the cross-trees. A
short distance from this group was an
other party in the act of burrying a
dead man. who, they said had just
been cut down from a neighboring pole.
The body was almost covered with dirt
and only the dead mans boots and
head, which was covered by 4 coarse
gunny sack, protruded. OF course,
when it was fully understood that this
kind of procedure was going on the wild
est excitement prevailed throughout
the train, and disposition was mani
tested by some of the "nerviest" pas
sengers to go out and rescue the poor
victim from the miners, and in fact an
expedition did go out and ask the
cause of this high-handed business.
They were informed that the men
were notorious horse-thieves, and had
infested that region for a long time, but
had finally been captured, and were
simply undergoing the sentence pre-
scribed for such crime by Judge Lynch.
To the philanthropic and humane pas
senger this seemed barbarism, and
they offered all the inducements in their
power to save the life of the remaining
culprit, and allow him at least a trial
byjury. 1t was whispered confidentially
that the miners liberated their prison
er on good round sum of ransom
money, and their merciful mission end
ed the passengers put back to the train
with light hearts, and received the
hearty congratulations of the whole
train, who lamented nevertheless, the
sad fate of the other thief, who passed
in his chips just few minutes before
the arrival of the express. The next
day when the eastbound express came
through the whole thing was given
away by the inhabitants of Hillard, who
pride themselves in having successfully
carried out one of the finest sells ever
perpetrated. The victim who had been
so ruthlessly planted, was nothing but
overalls and shirt stuffed with straw
and pair of boots. The fellow who
came so nearly being hung was nobody
but poor innocent tramp, whom the
miners intended to have little fun
with, and no intention whatever of
harming him. But report says that
Hillard resounded far into the night
with the unrestrained hilarity over the
success of their put-up job, until the
ransom money was exhausted. Here
after the conductor of the inveigled
train will not show his head in Hillard,
as he was one of the rescuing party,
and the worst duped of all.

arm round his wife, "this is the terrible

"Oh, Arnold dear, poor Mrs. Wode-

followed Winnie down stairs into the
conservatory, where they found Blanche,
a rather sad-looking, fearful beauty OF
seventeen, whom Winnie's brother,
Captain Verschoyle, was not altogether

out of the flower-pots and shaking the
diamonds from their roots.
Arnold looked at Winnie and smiled

went down to breakfast together, Blan-

beauty on the white cloth.

the diamonds; but though he was al
ways on the point of clinching a good
offer some how or other he never quite
achieved it, and already Blanche Wode-
house had been nearly month under
the Morton's hospitable roof, when she
rushed into Winnie's conservatory one
morning-now, since the finding of the
diamnods, become once more the
young wife's plaything-and threw her
self into her arms.
"Oh, Winifred, he asked me to mar

diamonds after all, he has quite enough
money for us both"

The Grand Qualities shown by the Wifi
of a Rascal

From the New York Times
The death in Jersey City of Mrs. Sa-
rah NJ. Hamilton recalls touching
story of wifely devotion Mrs. Hamil-
ton was connected with a highly re-
spectacle family. She was married to
Alexander d. Hamilton, whose family
connections were equal to her own.
Hamilton associated with politicians,
and eight or nine years ago was made
Treasurer of jersey City. He had been
in the Office trihe less than three years
when he fled, and it was discovered
that he had stolen $50, 900 of city bonds.
He was tracked through the country
till he was finally ascertained to be in
Mexico. Police Sergeant, now Chief
Benjamin Murphy, was sent to that
country to capture him. Mr.. Murphy
found that Hamilton had placed him.
self under the protection of Cortina,
the leader of a powerful band of
outlaws. He decided that this protect
ion would last no longer than Hamilton's
money, and he patiently waited in Mex
leo till the outlaws should turn the flu
gitive out from among Them, penniless.
He did not have to wait many weeks.
Cortina robbed his ward of all he had.
and then abandoned him. Murphy
brought him back to Jersey City. The
first person to meet him was his faith
full wife. She forgave him the disgrace
he had brought upon her and their
children. When he was arrained he
pleaded guilty. More in response to
to her entreaties than to any circum-
stances mitigating his offense, the
court leniently imposed a sentence Of
but three years imprisonment. Mrs.
Hamilton went at once to the Govern
or to secure her husbands pardon.
When she found she could do nothing
without a Court of Pardons, she impor
tuned everybody in her large circle of
friends to intercede with the court in
her husbands behalf. Size sacrificed
health and fortune in her efforts to get
him out. A year before his term of
confinement would have expired he
was released.
Mrs. Hamilton then placed the rem
nant of her little fortune in his hands,
and babe him make new man Ofhim-
self. HIS friends believed that he was
on the fair road to redemption, and
all gave him helping hand. He es-
tablished milk route that gave en-
ployment to three men, and yielded a
handsome income: but he soon fell
back into evil company. Selling out
his milk route he purchased saloon
on Grove street. There he started va
rlety show of the lowest character. He
practically deserted his wife for the
lewd women that performed on his
stage or gathered to witness the plays.
The police raided the place and arrest
ed him. Mrs. Hamilton sat in court at
his trial, acting the part of a faithful
wife, Notwithstanding his treachery to
ner During all this time Mrs. Hamil-
toms family and friends saw, with an
xiety, that her health was failing.
They begged her to discard him and
leave him to his fate. She turned a
deaf ear to them. Several years ago
Hamilton left home. The faithful wife
heard nothing from him. and her death
from broken heart is the reward of
her fidelity
