TRAVELS OF AN EYE STONE.

The following remarkable incident has

seem almost incredible were il not for the
absolute veracity Of the gentleman MAX
ing the statement. Mr.. Rufus Miller
is a well known farmer of this town, liv-
ing at Mechanicstown, Some five or six
years ago, just before retiring, HIr. Mil
ler placed in his eye what is known as an
eye-stone, for the purpose Of removing q

taken from the head of a crab, ono being
found under each eY2 OF that crustaceen.
In the morning, when Mr.. Miller avoke,
ne could not find the stone. He made a
careful and thorough search, but 81 in
vain, and he made up h:a mind that it
was gone for GOOD. \ few weeks since
he f5:t Il hard growth on the little finger
OF his right hand. He showed 1t to some
friends, who concluded it was wart and
advised htn 10 let it alone. He did so
until about a week since, when it began
to be sore, and he commenced picking
at it. He soon found out that some hard
substance was under the skin, and, dig
giug away, he soon found his long lost
eye stone. He examined it so carefully
that .here can be no mistake. He now
recoilects that at one time he experienc-
ed a considerable soreness in his wrist
and supposed at that period the stone
was pressing in that direction. How this
bit Of carbonate OF lime ever made that
long journey without being lost or absor-
bed is q mystery. That it did so there
can be no doubt,

city, and examined some pistols, asking
for the largest calibre. He was shown
two smaller in calibre and only different

chased the pistol which he used, for
which he paid SO, he having in the mean
time borrowed $15 of q gentleman in this
city on the plea that he wanted to pay
his board bills. On the same evening
about O'Clock he took the pistol and
went to the foot of 18th street and prac-

He then returned to his boarding place
and wiped The pistol dry and wrapped if

Sunday morning, June 12, he was sitting

leave for the Christian Church, on Yer
mont Avenue, and he at once returned to
his room, obtained his pistol, put it in
his hip pocket, and followed the presi-
dent TO church. He entered the church,

without dagger Of killing some one else.
He noticed that the president sat near q
window. After church he made exami-
nation of the window, and found that he
could reach it without any trouble. From
this point he could shoot the president
through the head without killing any
one else. The following Wednesday he
went to the church, examined the loca-
etion and window, and became satisfied
that he could accomplish his purpose,
and determined therefore to make the
attempt at church the following Sunday.

president would leave the city Saturday,

PEACOCKS.

Peacocks says q writer in st. Nicholas,
have been demesticated fowls for a great
many years, but have not degenerated
or lost their original tints or shape as
have the barn yard fowls or ducks, and
to some extent the turkeys nevertheless
travellers tell us that the wild peacocks
are haudsomer than the tame ones. 1t
seems impossible. The peafowl is na-
tive of the Indian or Malayan archipelago.
Various parts of Java abound with them,
yet they are none in Borneo or Sumatra,
though these islands are close by. But
then some other birds of the family to
which the peacooks and pheasants belong
occur plentifully in Sumatra and Borneo,
anG are unknown in Java. On the main
land of Asia peacocks of some sort-for
there are half a dozen species-abound
from Southern India to the table lands,
and even through the high passes into
the forests and stepps of Thibet.
Our domesticated variety is the com
one Of India, where it is known as the
crested peacock. The peacock of Java
is different, ''the neck being covered
with scarlet like green feathers, and the
crest of different FORM" but the eyed
train is equally large and beautiful, The
remote Thibetan species has a lesser
train, and its general color is white, upon
which ornamental feathers are distribut-
ed in most striking manner. These
birds prefer wooded districts, especially
low, tangled, thickety forests, partly
cane and partly hardwood growths, cal
led ''jungles, and there they congregate
in large focks. One writer says that
from an eminence he once saw the sun
rise up more than thousand OF these
dazzling birds. What n sight that must
have been! How the level golden beams
Of light must have been reflected in a
hundred crossed and cleaning rays from
the trembling and iridescent plume8!
I cannot understand how any fore
ground to a sunrise could be devised
better than the waving green summit Of
a forest, covered with q thousand sway
Ing pcacocIls. The food OF these birds,
ike that Of the argus pheasant and other
fowls, consists Of seeds, small fruits,
buds, or the juicy tops of tender plants
and insects-particuIarly beetles. To
get this food, the peacock of course,
spends much time on the ground, and he
is sometimes caught there by being run
down with dogs, or by men on horseback.
He can make good speed on foot, how
ever. The nest is a rough little heap Of
grass and straw, placed on The ground,
and followed out enough to keep It's doz-
en- eggs from rolling away. The young
are at first as dull coIored as hen, and
it is only after the third year that the
male gets his full regalia,

Glaze Beresford, poor sinful Glare whom
we had always called by her second name
until we had forgotten that she, too, was
''Hilqrie.'
In her letter she told how she had
grown to hate and fear the man who had
been the hero of her thoughtlass school
days, and had lured her into that fatal
marriage; how her love for me and dread
of him Lad conquered all sense of right
and wrong, until his threat of exposure
had impelled her to commit the crime
for which Hilarie Greene stood accused.
She told how Hilarie had met her coming
from the scene of the murder and knew
her to be guilty; how she had agreed TO
keep silent that L might be spared all
pain and shame, and how, finding Hilarie
had won the love Clara had sinned for,
she had determined to seek rest and OBJ
livion in the dark waters Of the mere.
Need I dwell on the joy of that time
which followed when Hilarie's innocence
was proclaimed, and she was free to re
turn to the home she had never thought
to see again. She wept bitterly for poor
Glare, and devoted all her time to the
bereaved parents, until they grew to love
her as their saving angel, and as the
months rolled on, peace and happiness
returned to Beech Hall, and that was a
proud and blissful day to me when sweet
Rilarie Graeme became Mrs. Gerald
Forester.
The previous morning Hilarie had
blushingly placed in my hand scrap of
crumpled paper, in which was written in
Hilarie's delicate caligraphy few lines
containing passionate avowal of love

ADJUSTMENTS. A
The Musical Society Concert.

The audience in attendance at the concert
given by the Musical society last evening was
much smaller than the entertainment deserved,
for considered in all its features it was one of
the best of the season, and ought to have filed
the Opera house to Its utmost capacity. II
was the first public performance of our musi-
cal society for the pastelghteen months, and
among those present were many who were
wont to be in regular attendance upon all the
concerts of what now seems like the olden
time. The opening overture, "Rakoczy," by
Keller Bella, was magnificent piece of instru.
mentation, rendered In style rs nearly
perfect as it could possibly be rendered by any
orchestra on the continent The other Or
chestral members were also every way com.
mendable. The male cantata by the Mendel.
ssohn club of Minneapolis, with tenor solo
by Mr. Nash, was admirably sung. The voices
are we'll trained, evenly balanced and excel
lently attuned, displaying the results Of both
a high degree of talent and industrious appli-
cation seldom found in an amateur musical
organization. Their succeeding numbers,
1.-THE Spirit of the Wind" and an Ave Marie
by Abt, with soprano obllgato and tenor solo,
were also executed in a truly artistic manner,
and the same can be said of the concluding
chorus with orchestral accompan iment The
singing of Mrs. Scott.Payne was not alto
gether pleasing, but the audience was an In
dulgent one and gave her hearty applause As
a whole the entertainment was thoroughly
enjoyable one, and 1t is to be hoped will be re-
peated at no distant day.

Detective O'Connor returned last night
from trip to Duluth, having in charge
q man named James McGrath, arrested
on complaint of q young woman named
Kate Kavanaugh, who charges him with
seduction.
The alleged offense took place last
Saturday at the Sherman house, and an
account of the affair appeared in Mon-
days issue of the GLOBE.
The young woman, who was raised in
Liverpool, and who is twenty-five years
of age, met McGrath last Friday in Chi.
cago, and he accompanied her to this
city. Upon their arrival they put up at
the Sherman house, where it Is claimed
Mc0rath made the assault. Miss Kava-
naugh was direct from the old country,
and She carried letter addressed to the
bishop Of this city After the alleged as
sault, which was made during the day.
time, McGrath accompanied the girl to
the bishops house, where she, first al
luded to the assault.
McGrath. left that night for Duluth,
where he Is employed to work as a me-
chanic. He did not resist arrest, and is
a mild-mannered, middle-aged and pre-
possessing man. He characterizes the
story as falsehood and AYERS that she
will not dare to repeat it in his presence.
He states that while en- route to this city
she conducted herself in a grossly i'm.
modest manner, and In a way that could
not be misunderstood. The case will
come up to-day.

Tho Dakota Freshe ct.

YANKToN, D. T., April THE Ice gorge,
which has been resisting the onward flow OF
water at this point for twenty-four hours
broke an hour ago, and The wateris falling
rapidly. Lower Yankton has been submerg'
ed since Monday morning, and the lower
floors of 200 dwellings, shops and mills were
covered from one to four feet. Much damage
has been done to houses, goods and buildings.
The steamer Peninah broke from her moor
ings as the ice began to move, and has
foated with the current mile, lodg-
ing on the railroad track, where she now
sits. Ii. diligence from the submerged
farming districts were received last evening.
Rescued parties have been found and landed In
places OF safety, and about 2oo persons res; res
cued who must have perished with cold anu
hunger had they not been reached. The good
work still progresses and hopes are enter,
tanned that nearly all the ice and water-bound
sufferers will be rescued. The weather re-
mains cold and the situation becomes more
serious daily. The fuel supply has been re-
duced to minimum, many kinds OF provis-
sions are running short, the freshet has swept
away thousands of cords of wood, and to-day
not single cord is for sale.
SORRY PICTURE.
YANKToN, April 7.--The waters Of the
food have rapidly subsided during the past
twenty-four hours and the Missouri is now
running within the banks at this place. The
bottom lands are still submerged, and
although nearly one thousand people
have beeu rescued from farmhouses
in the inundated bottoms in this county alone
there are number who have not been reached
on account of the impenetrable character OF
the ice, water and surroundings. 1t is
feared that this class will perish from hunger
and exposure before they can be reached.
The question of caring for survivors of the
flood, whose only possessions have been ut
terly destroyed, is of most serious character.
Thousands of people who had amassed COM
Portable fortune are left without so
much as clothes to cover them.
They are now being temporarily
subsisied at the expense of the counties, aided,
to slim extent, by private donations, but
these sources cannot,be relied on to provide for
their future wants.
At public meeting here, last evening, the
question of calling for assistance from the
generous and wealthy people of the East was
seriously considered. The work OF rescuing
is being pushed with increased determina-
ton, and no efforts will be
spared to save the lives of those imperilled. A
slight snow has been falling since early this
morning, and there has been sufficient wind to
seriously interfere with the work Of the res
cuing parties.
