The Story Of a Traveller

Travellers meet with many
incidents as well as accidents.
They endure many hardshlps
as we'll as to share the fat OF the
Land. Once upon n time a
young man who was travelling
from the cradle to the grave,
who sought fame, fortune and
relics, the latter Of which in,
cluded a wife. In passing
through the State OF Ohio he
accidently or otherwise. heard
of the little Dutchman IN
Napoleon. Henry county. be,
ing rather of an inqulsltive
turn of mind he began to n,
quire into the history of this
individual, when his curiosity
soon became excited and ie
resolved to call upon this self
same person, before he got very
much nearer to his grave. He
thought that he would here find
much valuable matter whie h
would assist him inaflling up
his very iiiteresting Diary, and
sane saoaah he traxeled not in
rain, bis widest imasinations
were tfers completely over
whelmed, and hewondered that
he had not earlier heard OF or
discovered this wonderful Foun-
tain where the Balm OF Lite is
annually dispensed to thous,
ands. Yes, where all the very
best and most popular medl-
cines known in the entire
world afe kept in their purest
states fdr the relief and cure OF
the afflicted and suffering, where
even the dying can be made to
feel thatthey have reached the
haven of rest. He not only
found here all the necessary
and proper remedies for restor-
ing the diseased and crippled
condition of the physical body,
but he found a large stock Of
the choicest food for the brain;
that which produces thegrowth
of the mind, viz: Books. These
were we'll selected and calcu-
lated for the young as we'll as
the old, And did the people
but know that to cultivate a
good healthy mind in the child,
will do more to develop good
healthy body than all the medi-
cine in the world, they would
invest more literally in good
books for the children. And
yet, nevertheless, this is a fact
which can and has been sue
eessfully demonstrated many
times by the best, scientists in
the world, This traveller was
much pleased with these two
stores IN one large building be-
ing 50 successfully managed for
the welfare and wellbeing Of the
human family, so much SO that
he has concluded to make Napo-
leon his future home, where he

Strange Proceedings in Davitts Case.

LONDON, Feb. 4.-Michael Dayitt, yes
terday arrested in Dublin on charge of
having violated conditions OF his ticket
of leave and brought over in a steamer
last night from Kingston To Holy head.
was this morning consigned TO the Mill
bank prison on the bank of the Thames.
about half mile below the House of
Parliament.
The steamer arrived at Holyhead
about an hour before midnight. Mr..
Davitt was in charge of detectives, who
went from Scotland Yard to make the
arrest. and accompanying were six de-
tectives from Dublin. On arrival of the
steamer the. party at once took a special
train for London. Detachments of po-
lice guarded all the stations on the route,
and a pilot-engine ran ten minutes ahead
of the train to secure an uninterrupted
transit.
The train arrived at Easton Square
station at 6:45 a. m. and Mr.. Davitt was
at once conducted TO the Bow street
station, where a magistrate, Sir James
Ingham, was sitting, in pursuance of a
previous arrangement, and who heard
the case privately at hat unnaturaIly
early hour for any kind of court pro
SNcuiis5o' ihSoO OSShpiCu JuJ d otiDIt
time.
Mr., Davitt, when arraigned, asked the
magistrate why his ticket Os leave had
been revoked, and was informed that it
was no question for the magistrate to
answer. Sir James Ingham then signed
the document committing Davitt to pris-
on, to which he was Immediately driven
in common police van, or BLACK
Maria"
At the hour when court is usually
opened great crowds assembled and
were chagrined to find the proceedings
ended and nothing to be seen. Sympa-
thizers with Davitt expressed themselves
angrily at the arrest, and particularly at
the summary way of disposing of his
person.
Millbank prison, in which Davitt
confined, is lonely fortress-like struct-
ure, surrounded by high walls Here or
elsewhere, he will have to languish for
seven years long, unless released, by the
present or some subsequent administra-
ton. The prison is extra guarded to
forestall all attempts at rescue.

LONDON, Feb. 5.-A story comes from
Edinburgh of an extraordinary outrage
committed in that city last night. Six
persons are reported shot. There is sus-
picion, not yet traceable to any definite
cause, that Fenianism is at the bottom of
the disturbances.
Michael Davitt, who was arrested on
Thursday and yesterday imprisoned at
Milbank Prison, was to-day transferred
to Portland Prison, in Dorsetshire. On
the arrival of the prisoner and escort at
Portland he was driven In carriage to
the prison. To avoid recognition Davitt
was dressed in citizen S clothes instead of
convict garb

AT a stormy meeting in Berlin the
other day, in which the Jews were de-
nounced as a people unfit to mix with
other races, a workman had the cour-
age to state that after seventeen years
hard work in Berlin, although Chris
tian himself, his experience was that
Jewish employers had, as rule, treated
him far better than his co-rehgionists."
He accordingly proposed resolution ''in
favor of religious liberty" The result
was that the meeting hissed him and
turned him out.
