AN OLD PROPHECY.

In 17l2 Mr.. Winston, an eccentric
Millenarian divine and astronomer, who
served as deputy to Sir Isaac Newton,
when professor Of mathematics at Cain
bridge, predicted that comet would ap
pear at noon Wednesday,, October l4ti,,
and that the world he destroyed by fire
on the following Friday. The comet
came, and had an extraordinary effect.
More than I'D clergymen were reported
to have waited on the primate on the
"Wednesday afternoon to request that
proper prayers might be prepared. while
thousands Of men. who believed that the
end Of the world was coming, married on
the Thursday the women with whom
they had been living. Many people en-
balked on the water, thinking they would
he safer when the end came, and Sir Gil.
bert Heathcote. chief director Of the bank
of England, issued instructions to the
fire officers to keep sharp lookout on
the bank Of England, on which there was
prodigious run, presumably by those
who thought that, albeit they brought
nothing into this world, they might be
able to take something out. The captain
of Dutch ship in the Thames threw all
his powder into the river. Winston is
only remembered now by his translation

mo F00LlNG,"

A Detroit lawyer had a call to 90 into
the country q few miles to attend case
on trial before country squire, and,
while jogging leisurely along in his bug
gy, he saw man come running across
the fields at the top of his speed. Di-
rectly behind him, aud armed with
stout stick, was q woman, and it was a
nip-nnd-tuck race to the fence. The man
reached it first, however. and as he drop
ped on the highway side, he called out
to the lawyer:
STRANGER, for heavens sake give me a
lift down the road for half mile!"
whats the trouble here" asked the
lawyer.
"Wlfe and have had another falling
out!" was the reply, as the man rolled
down steep bank to the buggy.
Tho woman at this moment reached
the fence, and. as she vas climbing over,
the lawyer inquired Of the husband:
care you fooling or in earnest?"
"lf you think Tn fooling just wait q
second" gasped the woman, as she
plunged down the bank, rolled over and
over in the road. and rose up with big
stone in each hand.
"Squat!" yelled the husband, as he
circled around the horse, but the lawyer
wasn't quick enough. One OF the stones
hit him in the back and the other grazed
his ear and hit the horse, and five or six
more were coming rs he struck a trot and
moved off, the husband hanging to the
vehicle and running behind. When n
safe distance away the lawyer halted and
looked back. The woman stood in the
middle of the load shaking both fists al
him, and the husband wiped the beads
of pcrspiration off his cheeks and chin
and said:
"Strangcr, Hammer and me never have
any fooling. When she's good natured
git one shirt week and two meals q
day. When she's mad one Of us has got
to light out, and wish next time you
come this way you'd tell me if there.is
anybody in Detroit who can make me a
pair of WINGS"

Bathing Anecdotes.

A young woman who was arrested
the other day for bathing in the Ser
pentine, in London, pleaded that il
was $50 very hot" and was &C ording-
ly dismissed by the amiable magistrate
with an injunction to cool off in some
more secluded spot. Mr. Labouchere,
after reciting a somewhat similar case
which has just occurred at Hurting
ham, where man who had been
bathing from boat and could not get
back to it terrified party of ladies by
lodging about from tree to tree in
quest of some means of capturing the
craft, calmly tells the following pleas
ing tale of himself:
"The same thing once occurred to
me at Venice. | had room on the
ground floor in hotel on the Grand
Canal About o'clock in the morn
ing everything seemed quiet, and it
occurred to me that | should like to
battle; so | jumped into the water
from my window. Having swum
about for some time, / thought | would
return to the hotel. What was my
horror to find that an English family
papa, mamma, and five daughters
had established themselves on the steps
of the hotel. There was no help for
it, so calmly landed, and, bowling re-
specially to the ladies, regained my
room. The next day | sat opposite
the family at dinner. They told me
what had occurred, and / deeply SYM
pathized with them in their Indignation
against those 'horrid and DISCUS ting
Italians"

ZULUS IN COURT.
A Zulu Chief Who Resented the IN
situation that He Was "A Thomp-
son street Niger
New ork Tribun,

New Ork 1flDUHe-
An excited crowd gathered in the
neighborhood of the Tombs police
court yesterday morning, to enjoy the
arrival of the two Zulu warriors. UNI
carlo, who thinks he had a hand in the
killing of the prince imperial, was to
be tried for assaulting John Toner, Of
No. 247 Elizabeth street, visitor to
Bunnell's museum. Toner remarked
that the warrior had adorned the shades
of Thompson street, and the Zulu took
out his revenge by flooring him. When
the carriage containing the chiefs drove
up, the crowd was SO dense that flank
movement was necessary, and the Zu-
lus were passed in through a side en-
trance. Umcarlo and Usaki are insep-
arabic as Siamese twins, and the pri-
soner refused to go to court without his
comrade. The warriors were dressed
in a refreshing summer costume, cut
extremely decoliette. Long black cones
were stuck through their ears, dancing
plumes waved from their heads, and
giTdles that seemed to be fashioned of
corncobs and gingerbread dangled from
their waists. The Zulus were boiling
over with anger, and as they entered
the courtroom they made the halls
ring with shouts of defiance and threats
of vengeance dire against the enemies
of the Zulus. Stamping the floor furi-
ously as they walked, shaking their
waving their shields aloft, they seemed
to be as terrible as an army with ban
ners. Manager Star endeavored to as
suage their wrath, but a threatening
movement caused him to beat re-
treat.
Reaching Justice Otterbourg's desk
the warriors cut few pigeon wings
pronounced a fry Grafton in Zuluese,
and were about to exhibit their must
cal resources when Mr.. Stone, the in
terprator, asked them to lay aside their
weapons and then testified in behalf of
the prisoner. He said that Toner ex-
perforated on the Zulu and dubbed
him Thompson street niger" and
the warrior therefore hit his tormentor
on the head. Toner had said his re-
mark was made to the girl he
had with him in reply to her
question as to the genuineness of the

of such epithets in Russia, he said af-
terward, would put the offender in
prison two weeks on a diet of black
bread and water Master Willie,
burlesque vocalist, sustained the Zulu's
story in every essential part.
Justice Otterbourg fined Umcarlo
80 and put him under $500 bonds to
keep the peace. The Zulu did not I'M
derStand the decision, of course, and
his happy expression of countenance
argued that the complainant was being
worsted. When it was explained to
him, however, he was furious because
Toner had not been fined, TOO. The
warriors We're equipped with their
weapons again, which they received
with childlike eagerness. AS the party
filed out of court the Zulus gave pro-
longed, viliainous howl, expressive of
their disgust at American justice in
general, and that of the Tombs court
in particular.

Punishment by the Cangue in China

This cangue is the main prop of the
Mongolian order-the stocks, pilory
and penitential cell of Kathay 1t is
merely a cage of crossbars, which are
sometimes of iron, sometimes of heavy
timber. The prisoners body is enclosed
in this cage, which reaches from his
knees to his neck; his head and limbs
are alone free, his hands being strapped
TO bar. Now it is manifest that a
criminal thus accoutered must be a
prop and support of his own portable
Jail. A captive of Atlas, he carries
about his own dungeon, and he cannot
lie down to rest, but must pass whole
days and nights on his feet, the poles
attached to the canguo prevent him
from lying down, while to the frame
work is fixed q placard inscribed with
the wretch's name, ofense and sentence.
A cangue NAV weigh 100 pounds, or
only twenty, but in any case it is q
dreadful punishment, kept on as it is
for periods varying from six hours to
six weeks. Imagine days and nights Of
cramps and sleeplessness, the harass-
ing stings of mosquitoes and other tor
menting insects worrying the naked
skin, and no hand to brush them away;
the scorching sun, and no screen; the
chilly night, and no covering; wearl-
ness, dizzy brain, limbs racked for dire
fatigue, fever, delirium, the pressure Of
the hard yoke on the CALLED shoulders,
the strangling collar, the agony of long
want of sleep, the thirst, the shame!
Men often go mad in the cangue, it is
said; they fall asleep on their feet, like
horses, from sheer exhaustion; they
perish, and are found dead in their
cages, like so many neglected wild
beasts in captivity. But the cangue is a
favorite punishment among the judges.

An Els Hunt in Oregon.

Albany kOre.J democrat.
One day last week T. P. Mcknight,
proprietor of the pleasure resort at
Lower Soda Springs, started out with
his son Charley to hunt for elk across
the Santiam from the springs. After
going few miles they discovered an
elk, and Charley succeeded in killing it.
They skinned it, and taking part of
the meat on their backs and covering
the remainder up, came home. After
coming home they thought some wild
animal might carry away the meat
they left behind before they could re-
turn for it next day, so Charley and his
little brother Clyde, taking their blank
cts, guns, and dog, started back, ex-
pecting to camp with it. Soon after
arriving at their destination they dis
covered a couple of elk, and by slipping
upon them managed to kin both. A
few moments afterward their dog COM
menced a terrible racket a short dis
lance off, and above the noise of its
barking could be heard the peculiar
sounds made by the calf of the elk
The boys rushed to the spot as soon as
possible and found a young elk calf,
probably about two weeks old. OF
course they feathereG on to that calf;
no boy would lose such an opportunity
to capture such a rare animal. But
they were not to get it without a strug-
gle. Hearing a noise close by, they
glanced up and were almost petrified
by seeing the old COW coming to the
rescue of her young. She was only
abou twenty or thirty feet away, and
coming like Nhirlwind. With her
head down and her hair turned the
wrong way, she was a sight to try even
the nerves of one of the old-time hunt
ers. No time was to be lost; a seconds
delay might result in the death of both
boys. But Charley was equal to the
occasion; grasping his gun he drew
sight on the animal, and shooting when
she was actually only about ten feet of,
caused her to almost turn a somersault
and lay at their feet dead. There was
an exploit equal to the many that our
readers have heard around their fire
siS of some Of the old hunters of the
west, for be it remembered that
marley is only Is years old, and small of
age, and Clyde is only Is. The
: dressed their game, camped out
night, and the next day they took

Lettuce for Young Chicks.

All kinds of stock like green food,
and it is especially desirable for young
poultry. Where the fowls have plenty
Orange it is no trouble to have them
supplied in that direction, but there
are breeders who have but little room
and keep several varieties, who are
compelled to keep their birds yarded
all thro ugh the breeding season, and
all poultrymen know how soon the
fowls will clear up every vestige of
grass in thor yards. To keep them
supplied with fresh sods is a good thing
but it either necessitates going some
distance for the daily supply, or soon
disfiguring plot of ground by taking
so much sod from it. Raising cabbage
for them is desirable, but it takes some
time to get it. The quickest growing
thing to raise is lettuce. In very early
spring a small hot-bed will start enough
to last until the sowings in the open
ground have grown large enough to feed.
Small beds can be sown, and if good
growth is kept up at first, the bed will
last quite while as the tops can be
cut off as wanted for the poultry, the
roots being left i'll the ground to sprout
more leaves and tops, which they soon
do if well cared for. The expense OF
keeping up small bed Of lettuce is not
very great. and from it the fowls can be
supplied with good wholesome greens
at time when other garden sass" is
yet in Itsinfancy. 1t is one of the best
things for pigeons in confinement, and
as many of our readers are pigeon fan
ciers, as well as poultry breeders, the
advice above given will be of two-fold
advantage to them. Breeders try it.

The Era of n Tvs.

CINCINNATI GaAet =
The wonderful acceleration in the
transmission of news which steam, and
especially electricity, have brought
about, is not generally appreciated,
especially by those young people whose
memories extend back no ~ ore than q
decade There is not town or village
in the United States within reasonable
distance of Il telegraph line that did not
learn of the Presidents danger long be-
ore nightfall on Saturday, and the
localities must be very few and remote
which have not heard the news before
this The same is true of the greater
part of Europe and many districts of
Asia and Africa. Were it 1871 instead
of 1881, Cincinnati would still be in
ignorance of Saturdays crime, and re-
main so for two or three days to come.
Looking back only to 1866, we
find that nearly q fortnight elapsed
before Lincoln's assassination was
known in England. In 1917, when the
death of Princess Charlotte, heir APP
parent to the crown of Great Britain,
sent such thrill through Christendom,
the news was first published
in the United States in the
interior town of Northampton,
Mass. A vessel, making an unusu-
ally quick voyage, had arrived at Brit
ish American port. One of the passen-
gers, who was hurrying southwark, was
interviewed while the stage stopped
at Northampton, by the enterprising
editor of the village paper. He inn
mediately printed the news, and thus
beat the New York and Boston pub
fishers. Such an occurrence, it is
hardly necessary to say, would be i'm
possible now. The whole civilized
world is bound together by network
Of wires, and every event of import
ance is known at each point almost
simultaneously.
