Lows FOR 4 CONVICT.
The Affection of Pretty Girl ssr u Jail
Bird.

Mr.. John I. Milliken, of Chester, ILL.,, Ia
responsible for the following overture tale of
love and misery, which goes to show that
even in the nineteenth century love laughs
at locksniiths. 1t seems that not long since
the Warden Of the Penitentiary secured the
services of Miss Kate F., young lady of
good social standing, whose accomplishment
were varied and whose personal charmes
were matter of universal remark. She was
to be governess to his children and was
treated as one of the family. Her arrival
and instalment in the Warden's house created
social uproar. The officials of the prison
and oil the young men in the town made
desperate efforts to establish themselves in
her good graces But one suffer went down
after another, and 1t seemed that her heart
was of adamant, as all efforts to make an
impression thereon were futile. Now there
was among the conyicts in the penitentiary
syoung man sentenced for forgery, who was
distinguished for his brilliant attachments
and pleasing manners, while in appearance
he was an Apollo. So capable did he prove
himself that he was made bookkeeper of the
prison, and as he displayed great musical
ability he was invited into the parlors of the
warden, where he established himself
great favorite as well by his manners as by
his musical attainments He seems to have
joined the army of worshippers at the shrine
OF the Egyptian. Venus, and with success,
for, while she was deaf to the addresses OF
all others, she turned a willing ear to the
handsome convict, and 40 well did he I'M.
prove his opportunity that in short time
she learned to love him with an ardor that
was as fervent as it was homogeneous. His
voice is described as being clear terror and
tenor voices, when joined TO other attrac-
tions, have been known TO play sad havoc
with hearts steeled against all othersweap-
ons 1t was observed that the handsome
convict took advantage of every invitation
to appear in the parlos, and the fair pre-
ceptress, upon such occasions, deserted her
charge and was wont to drink in every note
of the music and appeared to take lively
interest in the musician, but nothing was
thought amiss until one day when the con.
Wet and the governess had been alone in the
parlor the music died out and all seemed
quite in the house, when the Warden sud
denly entered the room. Accustomed as he
was to strange scenes, he was unprepared
for the realistic picture before him. The
Warden Immediately bnilt dam across the
course of true love, ordered the convict to
his dungeon cell' and invited the governess
to resign. She said she was proud of her
tenor's love, that sae loved him with
" Florentine, fourteenth century frenzy,'
and that he was in every way worthy of it.
The young lady has left her homo and the
Washers of the town severely feel the stigma
that has been placed upon them. They can
not see how young lady could overlook their
charmes and give her heart to a convict

ELECTORAL BRIBERY IN ENGLAND.


I do not think it would be possible to exag.
erate the amount Of bribery that was proved
In the course of these inquiries to have ex-
isted 1t was confined to no class-trades-
man, the squirearchy, the lawyers, and, by
no means insignifcantly, the clergy, all were
implicated; and cannot forbear TO add that
the amount of perjury necessary to conceal
it was by no means deficient. Even if re-
membered the details ii would furnish Meth
err amusement nor instruction to relate them.
] can, however, recall one case that amused
me intensely white-headed old gentle
man, the agent of one of the parties, was in
the witness box. He looked the very en-
bodiment of responsibility He was never
the-less subjected to severe cross-examina-
ton by the opposite counsel, who suggested
that he had been party to distributing
brides. At last he turned bis venerable face
to the committee, incipient tears being yisi-
BILE in his eyes, and making most effecting
appeal to them, asked, in voice broken by
emotion, whether q man who had lived all
his lifein the borough without stain upon
bis character ought to be exposed to the in
suit of such questions. Whether the CON-
mittee were or were not affected by this APP
peal cannot tell, but they unseated his en-
ployer, and know that the venerable gen.
tleman had actually received 500 sovereigns,
which he had distributed most honorably

HUNTING THE OSTRICH.

A writer in the Troy Times, describing
life in Buenos Ayres and vicinity, says !;
"While the city possesses many features of
a cosmopolitan civilization, there is plenty
of rough life and adventure on the frontiers.
Tho Indians, reinforced by deserters and
outlaws, require constant vigilance on the
part of settlers. Many young Englishmen
come out nominally TO engage in cattle and
sheep farming, but all the details are intrust-
ed to poems and the former spend their time
in continued round of hunting and advent
ure. Ordinary sport is to tame. They
must hunt the puma and jagular in the river
forests, fight banditt, and chase and capture
the ostrich with balls The same weapon is
often used by robbers for throwing and dis
abling the horse of their victim. Two heavy
balls are connected by thong, and with
this the hunter rides alongside as near as
possible to the ostrich, throwing the balls
great dexterity in such a manner as to wind
the balls about the legs of the bird, throwing
the bird down and often breaking its legs
The skin Of the ostrich, with the feathers
left on, and the hide OF the spotted iaguar
are priced as trophies, and make favorite
rugs for the feet OF the Argentine DANES.
Only the native ostrich is slaughtered in this
ruthless way, however. The African os.
trich, which has recently been introduced, is
farmed as carefully as sheep.

Arctic life
The one bitter drop in our cup of joy was
the monstrous, but irseparable curse of Arc
tic Summer life, the mosquito. He abound
cd, fiourshed, luxuriated, surpassed himself,
outmosquitoed himself, on the Kuloi River.
We were at his mercy our wells, gauntlets,
handkerehiefs, fapper, all were vanity and

sufficient was impossible We had foreseenall

other things, a woodpecker from home with US
to protect our faces while we slept but one
woodpecker would have been solemn mock

we're the historical flies sent to punish the
disobedient, obstinate Egyptians; they came
forth in order, and after three grieyous
plagues-the corruption of the waters, the
multitude of frogs, and the swarms of lice
had entirely failed. We are becoming con
rossenrs in mosquitoes we watch them
traverse our wells like figures on slides in a
magic lantern. There Is the yellow striped
vampire mosquito, with o triple fang to his
proboscis; there is the brown humpbacked
or camel mosquito, with legs of gossamer,
who appears to our vindictive eyes to be from
two to three inches in length; finally there
is the scorpion mosquito, very searching and
business like. We dislike him greatly, for he
wastes nc tilae, We know now that leather
is hollow delusion, and armof-plateq gauntr
lets are alone of avail. Sometimes q mos
quito comes and kills himself by squeezing
between our finger and thumb, sometimes
by flying against my fapper There are
moments, but 80 rare and delicious that | al
most tremble to describe them, when we
find q mosquito who has anchored himself
by the proboscis in our gloves-and we
watch the expression of baffled hatred in his
countenanoe with which he watches the apr
proach OF the avenging finger. o. the

PoLYoAMous pRosELYTERs.
a Pen Picture %; six Miserable NIormoa
Missionaries.

The Laramie Boomerie of June 22 gves
the following historical sketch.
Yesterday six Mormon missionaries from
Zion passed through here on their way to
Tennessee to convert some dirt eaters and
poor white trash to the beautiful doctrines
of polygamy and the glorious custom Of
tithing.
Number one was q young man with a
mouth like u railroad washout, and sharp
nose that extended ont into SPACE with q
good deal of vigor. 1t is rare that we find
q man with nose like q can opener who
has ability, but this man you could see at
once was an intellectual Hercules. for the
base of his brain hung out over his coat
collar behind like water blister
Number two was an old man with fringe
Of dirty gray whiskers that encircled the
lower part of his face and took the place of
clean collar He had broad, sleek brow
and sore eyes.
Number three carried shiny oilcloth grip,
which contained the baggage of the six and
lunch enough to last them to Omaha. He
seemed afraid all the time that the train
would go away and leave him, and when an
engine bell rang he would jump pretty near
ly out OF his clothes.
Number four was a weak-eyed man with
wide waste of freckles and holy oil, but a
head that looked as though it had been
picked too soon. He wore small boys hat,
and II was too large for him.
Number five was q blonde, who looked
sick and discouraged. He had either been
disappointed in love sometime or his corns
hurt him. for he seemed very miserable and
unhappy.
Number six was a little dried.up man, who
was travelling without brains, baggage or
grub. He went into the lunch room with an
emaciated quarter of dollar, and ate about
81 worth in the name of Zion, and slid out
just in time to dodge bung starter.
ALI these men had the same intellectual re-
finement of manner that Is so noticeable in
the Zulu, and the basement of the brain,
which is supposed by phrenologists to indi-
cate an abnormal longing to be betrayed and
ruined on the train without their knowledge
or consent, was quite prevalent and notice.

THE ooLoRED BARBER.
Some of His characteristics and PecuIiari-
ties.

The barber is man who does not abuse
the power hapossesses. IHa-has the power
to cut mans head off with more facility
than has any other man on earth, but he
seldom improves his opportunity, although
occasionally the temptation must be very
strong. We-haye often wonderedif BARRIERS
were not sometimes possessed with wild
impulse TO try il they couldn't cut mans
head off with one whack of the razor-an
impulse similar to that which sometimes
comes to a man when he is walking along
the edge ofa preeipice, and that prompts
him to throw himself to the bottom. We
have no doubt but that the shayers have
some such thoughts occur to them, especial
ly when they are shaving man who has an
impeachment in his credit, and who is liable
to "stand them of +" for the prize Of the
shave. We know that the shavee sometimes
thinks of it as possibility, as he lies back
in the chair watching the maneuvers Of
fly on the ceiling, and realizes that the bar
Der is trying to whittae clip off the end of
bis chin.
The negro barber Is not so loquacious as
the white barber. When he is scraping
around your lip with razor that you have
every reason to believe he sharpens lead
pencils and cuts strings with, he does not
askyou question that you are afraid to
answer fearing You may sacrifice piece of
your lip if you reply, but otherwise he acts
very much as the white man does He sub
seribes for the Police Gazette, and keeps it
ON his table for the purpose of tranquilizing
the mind and occupying the attention of the
customer who has been informed by the
barber that he is 'noxt," when there is re-
ally ahead of him two men who want to oct
shaved, and one who is desirous of having
his hair cut. He has dandruff eradieator,
a hair invigolator, and corn softener, put
up in bottles by himself, that he is not only
willing but anxious to sell. Between his
mirrors he hangs up tobacco advertising
chromos and richly colored pictures of
females dressed in gauzy and abridged gar
ments. He puts lather in your ear parts
your hair at the wrong side, and pastes il
down on your forehead, and usually sus.
ponds operations, while the soap hafdens on
your jaw and he discusses some matters of
a personal character with a barber who is
engaged on a bald-headed man at the other
end of the establishment.
In private life, the colored barber gives
tone to the society ne moves in. He Is
looked up to as an authority and as leader
of fashion. He is almost invariably
preacher or member of brass band.

II is very rare that you meet with Texas
beggar, but for cheek, he, or she, as the
case may be, has no equal. A woman, with
q snuff stick in her mouth, has been prowl

Her demand is based on her assertion that
she is widow, and her husband was ma
son. A kindhearted gentleman, whose as
sessment she had fixed at fifty cents, gave
her quarter, remarking;
"rve only got quarter"

onless yer come down to a cash basis yer
never viii have moro than quarter about
