The Judge of Galician village
near Cracow. having learned that an old
peasant woman resident in his district
had won prize of three hundred llor
ms in the Cracow Lottery, bethought
him of a stratagem By which they
might be transferred TO his own posses
sion. Accord nglv. dressed as the
devil. he presented himself. as the
clock struck midnight, at the old wom-
an S lonely dwelling, aroused her from
her slumbers. and. in hollow voice
commanded her TO hand over her VIM
nings. The terrified woman at once
produced seventy-.ive forms, protest
ing that she had that day lodged the
balance in the Cracow Savings Bank:
whereupon the devil informed her, with
dreadful threats of Internal torment
should she fail TO fulfil his behests. that
he would return the following night at
the same hour 10 receive the remainder.
Next morning the poor old lady applied
TO tho savings bank for her deposit
The manager, surprised that she should
wish To draw it out SO soon after having
lodged il. inquired into her reasons for
so doing. and elected full confession
of her adventure OF the previous night.
When his Satanic Majesty called at
twelve p. m. for the balance of his per-
quisite he was received by two gem
darmes. who handcuffed him. marched
him of to Cracow, and there delivered
him to the secular arm. which will
probably disable him from playing the.
devil for some time to come.

which he is trying TO terminate just as
ours begins. Not long after | was
watching his and two OF his brethren 5
ovements the other day, pair of
blueiavs came into the yard here, and
both seated themselves on the low
limb of tall elm not far from my win
dow. They were pretty specimens,
with exceptionally soft and rich plum
age; and if they were not making some
calculations for the summer soon TO
come, then they were looking very
wise and discoursive over matters that
seemed not a particle less significant.
They are rare visitors n so close a
range, but the proximity of corn

may account for the unusual invasion.

little on the pockets of the fence which

had achieved the passage through it.
His foresight had served to keep him
fat and sleek. for no squirrel could look
as he did who had not put up rations
proportional to the strength and severi

was luster in his beadv eve, too, that
spoke of good heart and good cheer.
and n cordial relish in his enjoyment of
his new observations that assured me
all was well with him and his house

the Sd of March for his tribute to the

thousand WAYS that she can be trusted.
When anything new is needed-such as
a new kind of bug to devour potatoes.
or new and deadly animalcule to in-
fest pork-she produces it. And yet
when We perceive that there is an inn
mediate want of something, our first
impulse is to try to supply it ourselves,
instead of leaving the matter in the
hands of nature This timorous want
OF confidence is unworthy of intelligent
people, and deserves to be severely re-
buked. 1t has recently been signally
rebuked By nature herself. who, while
we were striving vainly to find remedy
for BARRIERS, has quietly produced a new
type of barber that is all that man could
desire.
Plans without number have been sug-
gested with view to checking the bar
ber's conversation and preventing him
from even abiding to tonic. The num-
Der of patents which have been obtained
for BARRIERS muzzles would astOnisa any
one who is not familiar with the records
of the Patent Office. None of these
muzzles has been thoroughly success
full. The first difficulty in the way of
the use of muzzle is that no barber
will Willingly put one on. He stands
on his rights as a citizen, and claims
that free unmuzzled speech is privi-
lege expressly secured to him by the
Constitution. There might. it is true,
be something accomplished if the Leg
islature would pass law making it
penal for any unmuzhled barber to ply
his trade. but it would be almost impos-
sible to induce any Legislature to pass
measure so purely phiianthropic and
so entirely devoid OF any pecuniary
profit TO the legislators. Moreover. in
the few instances in which muzzles
have been either peaceably or forciby
placed on BARRIERS 1t has been found
that thev did not prevent the barber
from making sounds intended for con-
yersation and quite as maddening. The
only way IN which to secure his COM
plete silence is to use muzzlc that her
medically seals his mouth and nose.
Such muzzle was tried in Chicago
some years ago, and with complete
success, SO far as reducing the barber
to silence was concerned. The trouble

THE NORTHERN PACIFIC.

The Willard Change In the Directory Made
Yesterday No Radical Changes to be
Made In Consequence, But President
Billings to Retire From Active Super
vision at His First Opportunity - The
Oregon and Washington Territory Divis-
ions to be Pushed to Completion.
New YORK May 19.-It was announced at
the office of the Northern Pacific railroad
company yesterday that full settlement OF
the differences between that company and the
Willard combination had been made. Willard
buys the stock of President Billings and his
friends, and consents to dissoln.
tion of the suit brought against
the company relative to its recent
issue of 100, 600 shares of common stock. In
consideration of these things Willard is given
control of the road. 1he first step toward
fulallment of this agreement was taken at a
meeting of the Northern Pacific company's
directors yesterday. The resignation of Jo-
seph Dllworth, of Philadelphia, and Johnston
Livingston, of this city, were received, and
Thos. F. Oakes, vice president and general
manager of the Oregon Railroad and Naviga-
tion company, and Iremus II. Holmes, director
their successors. Other changes will
likely occur. Although it is said
majority of the present board are in full
sympathy with Wizards plan, Willard does
not desire radical change in the present
management. His friends say he will be con.
tent tn fill any vacancies that may occur. 1t
is understood President L. Billings will give
up the care of his position as
soon as he can find it convenient
to do SO. At the meeting yesterday,
which was adjourned until to-day, q resolu-
tion was adopted, providing for extension of
the road from Kalama to Portland, and the
branch from Snake river to Tacoma.
