New YORK.. Dec. 8.
The evening papers have the following:
About two years ago, a daughter of Amos
Stillman, of Brooklyn, eloped with w. s.
Guild. Miss Stillman was only about
sixteen, while Guild was seventy. After
private ceremony, they skipped away
to Europe without the knowledge of
relations or friends. Things were not
Just what the young bride thought they
would be, and in four days she became
homesick and prevailed upon Guild to
return. When they reached the wharf
in New York, he hired coach and sent
her home to her parents, while he got
upon another steamer and set sail for
California. For one year he RENTED his
young bride ten dollars per week, and
then the remittance stopped. Now she
sues him for limited divorce on the
ground of abandonment. 1t is under
that he claims she abandoned him.
This morning motion was made by her
counsel for counsel fees and alimony. 1t
was opposed by counsel for defendant,
who said his client was in California and
would have to send affidavits to him.
The case was postponed.
Daniel Quigly, arrested late Saturday
night, was found to have on his person a
large quantity of jewelry and precious
stones, said to have been stolen from
Morrel's storage warehouse at the time
of the fire. Quigly had been porter at
Morrel's the past seven years. When
Quigley's house was examined to-day,
three trunks containing silks, laces and
satins, valued at $50, 900 were also found.
Another employee, Thomas Goodman, was
also arrested, and when his apartments
were searched valuable lace shawl was
discovered.

Rumors of tailed race of men living
in the interior Of Borneo have often been
heard, though probably no one seriously
believed them. Carl Beck, recent tarv-
eler in Borneo, was, however, assured by
some Of his native companions that such
race really did exist in the interior
somewhere about the upper course of the
Barita. Mr.. Beck tells us that, tempted
by large reward, one of his native guides
undertook to visit the territory Of the
chief of this so.called tailed race, and the
result was that the chief, feeling insulted
made active preparations for war. An
other messenger, however, succeeded il
pacifying him. 1t seems that the suit
in attendance on the Sultan Of Passir i
known as his "tail people" and out o
this it can easily be seen how all the res
would arise.

Charles Croker has found out that the
sure way to do good works is to do them
while in the flesh, and not through trus-
tees after shufiling of the mortal coil.
The will to do good, even dead mans
will, says the s. F. "Alta," frequently
fails of consummation. Mr.. Croker has
handsomely endowed the Academy Of
Sciences, and has expressed his intention
of seeing that the Veterans Home shall
not fail for lack of funds. The Alta is Of
the opinion that rich men who intend to
do benefcient things should do them
while they are still able to see and enjoy
the good results.

Late investigation of German scientists
have shown that the electrict ligh is not
only healthier than other methods of
illumination in leaving the air purer, but
that it increases the power Of vision in
some respects, especially in Distinguishing
color. Red, blue, green and yellow are
much more distinct under this light than
by daylight.

Then they trip along about half a dozen
steps, not altogether like Dlndreary or a
sandpiper. but somewhat resembling both.
Then one says, "Oh, dear - and reaches
down TO pick pebble out of her shoe, while
the other takes the opportunity To yell like
a pair of pantheTs. and then runs back with
all her might to the bath-house. Her mate,
Of course, doesn't get the pebble out OF her
shoe but gets several more in TO keep it
from being lonesome. Then the screamer
tiptoes down TO the Yelling place and says,
What a fool | was" The other comes
down, having secured a new invoice OF peb-
bles in the transit, and screams, What is
it?' As it is nothing but devils apron
string, and not snake, the screamer again
says, What fool and the other replies,
Il know it, = Then they laugh. But they
keep their eyes about them, and each mouth
is all ready to emit a scream. But this time
they reach the waters edge. A puDy roller

determined to do or die. Another wave
makes them finch and tremble and scream
just little; but they keep on until the water
reaches to what would be their knees if they
were men. Now they face each other, each
holding the two hands of the other ANY
body who has seen the firemen at work on a
hand-engine will understand the motion
readily. They keep this up for FIVE or ten
minutes, talking like a brace of parrots all
the time. till one of them screams with all
her might and runs to the bath-house. She
stops to remark that she knows she will die,
and looking down, sees the cause OF her
scare-s blade of eel grass wound tightly
about her ankle. Spunking up courage,
they again seek the water, and once more
the hand engine maneuyre is repeated.
Then one of them whispers, There's a
T. And the other says, IL don't care a
bit," and runs with all her might to the BATH
house. Then the one who has seen the man,
saunters slowly after, picking up shell or
two on the way. pretending to think there
isn't such thing as a man in creation. By
and by they emerge from the bath-house,
