 ty for Paying Rent.
 DUBLIN, Nov. 15.-Following are partic- ulars of the attack on the farmer Calvin at Castle Island, county Kerry, on Saturday night. Shortly after & o'clock five disguised men entered the victim's house and found Calvin, his mother, wife and two servants at home. The visitors were armed with muzzle-loading guns and had white handkerchiefs tied across their faces to conceal their features One of the party, a tall fellow, asked Calvin if he had paid his rent Calvin replied in the af- frmative, adding that all his neighbors had done the same. The leader then asked h1m coo1ly would he prefer to have his ears cut off or be shot. Calvin replied that he had only one life, and would prefer death to mutilation. The unfortunate man was then directed to kneel on the floor. The leader cried out, s'Take aim, fire, shoot him about the legs.'' Five shots were then fired and three bullets lodged in Galvin's thigh. He fell on his face and several of the attack ing party began beating him with the butt ends of their guns. The terror stricken mother threw herself upon her son to save him. She states that one of the guns was broken by the heavy blows administered The party then left the house.

 A Dime Novel ITragedy-Terrible Deed of
 an Amateur Border Hero.
 SPRINeFIELD, Nov. 15.-The dime novel mania was the cause of a fearful tragedy this afternoon, James Morrissey, aged sixteen, being shot dead by Fred Markham, one of his companions. The two boys, in company with third named John Brennan, thor oughly imbued with the Buffalo Bill spirit from constantly reading dime novels. cheap story papers and an occasional visit to the opera house to witness some blood curdling play, were engaged in miniature gambling at Markham's house in border style. They had extemporized money out of bits of paper. Morrissey had two shoe horns for reyolvers and Markham had resurrected rusty revo- lutionary revolver belonging to his father, which lay on the table beside him. Finally Morrissey shouted that the other two were cheating and that he ''had got the dropn on them, at the same time raising his shoe horns. Markham spurned the imputation, and raising his revolver fired, ssnot knowing it was loaded, :" and Morrissey fell mortally wounded. One of the boys ran for doctor and the other for priest, and on their re- turn were arrested. Not having time to ar- range upon 8 story, they each separately gave an account of the affair in accordance with the above facts. The shooting occurred about o'clock and at 5 o'clock Morrissey was dead. The affair has created great ex- citement.

VOLUME III.
The Absent One.

The summer sun is shining bright
Balmy and sweet the breezes blow,
FAIR Nature clothed in robes of light
Would fain her joy on me bestow;
But ah in vain the sun doth shine,
Charmless the breeze, the bird, the flower
For she who made them all divine
Has gone, and they have lost their power
Alas without her brilliant smile
The sheen of morn is midnight gloom.
Earth can no more my soul beguile,
My life is but living tomb;
Without her voice, the melody
Combined of all harmonious things,
Is only dissonance to me,
The sound of harps with broken strings.
Her eye is like the radiant star
That ushers in the dawn of day,
Through dangers night when sorrows mar.
A sleepless watch it keeps alway,
Till peace and safety come again;
Without it's beams dwell alone,
Forlorn among the sons of men,
My pleasure, hope and mission gone.
Come back my beauteous angel, come
And never more from me depart:
Oh, seek thy final rest and home
Within my loving arms and heart!
Together we will roam around,
And in the scenes before us find
The glories of each sight and sound
Reflected from each others mind.

FrencIl STORY.

A man was arrested for arson at Vile
neuve, provincial French town, and,
in the absence of any calaboose. was
clapped into the lower story of tbs
mayors vacant villa, which, having
grated windows, kept him safe. He
had hardly lit his pipe to indulge In a
smoke when along came a stout-looking
gentleman with wife, children an maid
who stop; ed TO admire the villa
What nice house." said the stout
gentleman. II should like to buy 1t.
'That's easy replied the prisoner,
from the inside; am the proprietor,
and viii sell at once, provided you pay
cash"
The negotiations began, the price was
haggled about and agreed upon. The
prisoner said:
"My wife has locked me up and gone
to Paris for the day; if you fetch lock-
smith from Joinvilla, and after an in
spection of the premises the building
pleases YOU, 1000 francs down and the
rest in three months will conclude the
bargain"
Three-quarters of an hour later the
locksnnith opened the door and the
prisoner had disappeared with the stout
gentleman's money in his pocket, while
the stout gentleman's family congratu-
lated each other and said:
"How nice it is to be ones own land.
lordp
The appearance Of the police about
nightfall awakened them from their
dream. Their dismay and the rage Of
the mayor, who viii probably have to
restore the money as punishment r
not sending the prisoner to the neareS
police station, can be imagined.

Another African Hunter.

One of the most remarkable african
hunters who ever lived to return from
the wilds of that continent has Just
published an account of his travels.
The ordinary African traveller Of htera-
ture kills lions, tigers and elephants
without number; his t1usty rife never
misses fire at the critical moment, and
the cowaldly natives always run off,
leaving him in a plight from which he
rescues himself only by the greatest
address and skill. But this exceptional
man, DIR. Holub, was no such fellow.
He couldn't even hit baboon at short
range. His second shot at a monkey
went into his own hand, grazed his
mple and tumbled him out of the
wagon. A herd of horned horses came
near running over him. In chasing
some antelope he got in thorn bush
and nearly tore himself to pieces; he
came near shooting his own dog while
in ambush for hyenas on q moonlight
night; thought he hit gnu plump in
the head as it was drinking by night,
but could never find q trace Of the
beast wandered off with his gun, got
lost and suustruck and was saved by q
savage; tumbled into stream trying
to land three pound fish, and panic
seizing him while on watch for lions
he and his servant scrambled quickly
into tree, where they roasted till sun
rise. He was about three years learn
ing the use Of the rifle, and seven years
practice did not make him dead shot.
But he evidently learned to tell the
truth, which is more than African hunt
ing ever did for sportsman before

PREVENTION OF DISEASE. man can
do his own business the best. Hence,
it is safer to prevent disease by prop
er care of ourselves, living temperately
in all respects, using plain and simple
food, than to pay doctors bills. Es-
pecially is it easier to prevent the dys-
pepsia than to cure it, at least, cases of
long standing. Medicine will effect
little so long as we eat the richest and
most indigestible food; eat at all hours,
particularly at bedtime, or eat as if son

aid Of hot drinks in the shortest possi-
bic time. Dyspepsia is a certificate of
wrong and gross eating, ordinarily, or
Of too much mental effort robbing the

FOR THE LADIES.
The Prettiest Bride in England.

Frances Evelyn Maynard, the young
heiress who has Just been married to Lord
Brooke, eldest son of the Earl of Warwick
is one Of the most beautiful women
in England, and as generous as she is
beautiful. The wedding was the grand
est that London has seen for many
seasons, and was honored by the pres
ence of the Prince and Princess of
Wales, and several other members of
the royal family, Prince Leopold acting
as best man. The brides dress was an
improvement on the usual livery white
satin and orange blossoms, the front
being covered with old point and droop-
ing iringes of orange blossoms. The
veil was also of old point. Her only
jewels consisted of single row of ex
quisite pearls. The bridemaids were
twelve in number. Their Gainsborough
dresses were of white moire, the India
muslin fichus being fastened on the
bosom with large punches of Marshal
Mel roses, the bouquets also consisting
of the same flowers. The Gainsbor-
ough hats were made of similar material
to that in the fichus. The favors were
particularly pretty, consisting of daisies,
orange blossoms and maidenhair. The
brides travelling dress was of velvet, of
perfect shade of brown, the bonnet
and cape being of the same tint in bro
caded gauze. The queens present was
cashmere shawl. The Prince and
Princess Of Wales gave gold bracelet
with clasp Of magnificent sapphires
and diamonds. It was purchased at st.
Petersburg. There were several hun
dred presents, including some splendid
jewelry and valuable plate. Lady
Brooke's pet name is Daisy" and her
husband gave her wedding present of
a diamond collar with pendant daisies.

Gay Summer Dresses.

Red abounds in summer toilets, and
is shown in all materials. A French
costume, Just imported for Newport, is
of cross-barred batiste, in two or three
shades of red, trimmed with deep plait-
ings and draperies edged with black
Breton lace. Another dress for yacht
ing, or the mountains, or seashore, is
dark garnet wool as heavy as flannel,
yet as fine as camel's hair; this is made
with hunting jacket and overskirt and
has many rows of soutache braid of the
same shade for trimming. Large bows
and sashes of dark red satin ribbon are
used with white costumes of various
fabrics, such as nuns yelling, dotted
muslin and cream-white batiste. Very
pretty toilets of white wool have Span
ish lace plaitings and draperies of satin
surah in stripes of most brilliant hues,
or else in pale fade colors Mauve, or
pink, or lemon-colored Surah dresses
have two deep founces of white open
embroidery around the skirt; above
this is draped short overskirt and q
shirred round waist. A polka dotted
surah of dull red shades has pink satin
ribbon bows and facings Of pink on the
great ruche that heads the gathered
tiounce which is scalloped on the edges.
The loveliest white nuns yelling dress,
with pale blue embroidered dots on it,
has border stripes of blue, and is edged
with Russian lace. A pale blue satin
surah has large balls of darker blue,
with shading Of golden brown on the
edge of each ball; this has loops Of
golden brown surah covering the front
breadth, with alternate blue and brown
plaitings at the foot.

rose and made her way down the rickety
steps that led from the choir gallery.
When she got to the church door the
gentleman came forward out of the
dusk, and caught her two hands in his.
"Felicier" was all he said.
81 thought you were not coming back
for three years and now-I am so
startled !"
"Are you sorry, Felicie?"
"No," said Felicie, boldly.
They walked together toward Felicie's
home in the soft spring evening.
Chow gloriously you sing, Felicie r.
said Thornton. "But do you know that
little hymn usang last was my mothers
hymn p
sI knew it." said Felicie. s'Miss
Shepard told me 50. and taught it to
me and l have often thought would
learn to sing-much better than do
now-and sing it to you"
They fingered on the way home, so
that Miss Shepard was quite miserable
when they came In.
81 knew something pleasant was 60
ing to happen, Felicie said, sfor I felt
a bird singing in my heart all day.
In week people were saying
''Do you know Russell Thornton is
going to marry that pretty girl, with
the French name, who sings in st. Pc
ter's church ?"
The report was true.
'sDo brides ever select their wedding
presents p asked Felicie, just before
they were married.
81 don't know" said Russell, laugh
ing; ''but you may"
''Then give me that head of Apollo.
Oh, what lucky thing it was that I
unconsciously stole it I"

A Sub. Treasury Gold Wagon.

The New York Scientific American
says: The little, dingy-looking "gold
wagon" which has been used for twelve
years past to carry the money received
fer duties from the custom house to the
sub-treasury, has been retired from ser
vice. Sometimes it made as many as
dozen trips daily, carrying as much as
$4,000 glittering gold coin each time.
The money was usually put up in bags
of $40, 600 each, which were placed in
heavy oaken boxes with massive rod
iron handles. These boxes were then
put into the wagon-box and a lid with
clamps Of iron was locked down over it.
The wagon was pushed like hand cart
by two custom house porters, accom-
panied by an armed watcbman, whose
duty it was to see that the load of treas
ure was not interfered with by thieves.
The little used-up wagon has carried
in its time probably not less than
$500. 000, 900, or about a, ,500tons weight
in gold, and the dead weight and strain
Of the precious freight had rendered it
rather rickety and unsafe. In its place
new wagon has been purchased, with
solid wheels girt with iron tires half an
inch thick, painted a deep blue color,
and marked with the sovereign letters
II. S." in front.

Fashion Fancies.

Parasols covered with japanese Grape
are worn with gowns Of Japanese Grape.
The parasols with knots on the top
and at the end of the handle have been
revived.
Cut silk flowers with bead hearts are
substituted for muslin and cambria
blossoms.
Little girls kilt-plaited gowns have
rows of buttons down every sixth or
seventh plait.
The red shaded feathers seem to find
favor more rapidly than those of any
other color.
Cheap Japanese hats are again worn
this summer, but they are extravagantly
trimmed.
Olive and tea rose is one of the most
exquisite of color combinations for even
ing wear.
Arrasene is knitted into pretty hoods
for evening wear. It is as soft and be-
coming as chenille.
Pink linen undergarments trimmed
with black lace are fresh enormities in
Partisan underwear.
White Spanish lace scarfs, or muslin
scarfs with borders of Aurillac lace, are
worn in full dress.
The lily of the valley effect in chenille
fringe is produced by pressing the
strands at regular intervals.
The most fashionable size in Japanese
panels is four and half feet long and
five and half inches wide.
Batiste printed with bouquets of small
flowers is new and exceedingly pretty
for summer gowns.
Instead of a border some parasals
have band of bright plaid or bright
color about half way up the cores.
Printed cambria dresses for morning
and sateen for afternoon is laid down as
the rule for summer dressing.
The silk null used for kerchiefs and
collarettes this season is striped, and is
even more becoming than the plain.
Ties for travelling dress are about
four and one-half inches wide, and are
made of mixed silk resembling the
granite ribbons.
A wreath of flowers worn around the
crown of bonnet, and then carried
down to the front of the dress, is ex-
ceedingly pretty.
The mantles bordered with stiff deep
plaitings, like those on the lower edges
Of skirts, are uglier than any other out
side wrap.
The handkerchiefs to be carried with
brown suits have their edges button
hole-stitched in brown, with inner bor-
ders in colors.
Brides mothers now wear white.
plumed bonnets when they attend their
daughters to the altar, and look as gay
as the bridemaids.
The little silver-headed scarf pins are
replaced by those headed with stone
when worn with the little linen collars
in English shapes.
The Granny bonnet, worn by children
in the summer, is Of foulard instead OF
velvet or beaver. Its trimming is only
bow and strings:
Some Of the shaded ribbons have lace
like borders on their lighter edges.
When made up into bows white lace is
seWed On the dark edge.
