The Wrong Text.

The following funny story is told
in the last issue Of the Congregation
alist The Maine General Associa-
ton last week had q surprize. Aware
that the General Association of Con-
necticut was in session at the same
time, and being filled with brotherly
love and zeal, it caused telegram
to be sent to Connecticut in which,
with Scriptural phrases, it uttered its
loving greetings. MOI to be behind
hand, the Connecticut brethren re-
sponded, and directed its committee to
send to Maine this text:
The Lord bless thee and keep thee.
The Lord make his face shine upon
thee, and be gracious unto thee
Numbers vi. "a, %.
But when the good men who had
sent it went again to the telegraph
office to pour out their hearts by
wire upon the Massachusetts, Associa-
ton, also in session at that time,
the telegraph operator uneasily said:
81 hope there wasn't any mistake
about that other dispatch which went
to Maine"
No, indeed. What makes you think
there was ?"
Why, the gentleman there wanted
their message repeated, so as to be sure
that it had been sent accurately, and |
looked at the text, and it did seem an
odd one
"What text did you send2'

Arab BeY's Romance.
From the London Standard

The story goes that Arab Bey hates
the Khedive Ismail with an exceedingly
great hatred, and for the very best of
reasons. When Arab was as yet only
a Lieutenant he fel, in love with young
girl-Coptic or Arabic, we do not know
of unusual beauty. He succeeded in
pleasing her, and the family likewise,
when it came to pass that Ismail one
day saw by chance the girl, and i'm
mediately informed himself as to her
place of dwelling Ismail easily COM
PEELED the father to ignore Ara i, for
whose marriage preparations were
already being made; and the Khedive's
men carried the maiden off to the
harem. Arab dared to protest but his
protestations were received with con
tempt. He then showed SO dangerous
a disposition that the Khediye tired TO
pscify him by comforting upon him the
title and rank of Bey. Arab accepted
the position, but only that he might
use i: TO revenge himself.

who is 10 years of age. On Monday
afternoon, while in charge of the house,
desiring TO go on an errand, she care
fully locked the doors, and upon her
return was surprised that the front
door had been broken open. As she
passed into the parlor she saw man
ransacking bureau. Quietly she stole
into the basement, sent a servant for
an officer and then ran nimbly up
stairs. Gliding softly behind the
stranger she threw her arms around
his neck, shouting in the meantime to
give further alarm. The man did all
he could to throw her off, but without
success, and having dragged her to the
basement, was endeavoring to throw
her over the balusters, when Officer
Cassidy arrived. Miss Tillie then re-
leased her grip. The burglar made
another attempt at liberty by dashing
for the staircase and trying to trip up
Cassidy, but the policeman was too
quick for him. The fellow fought
wildly, but was brought into submission
by rap from the officers club, and
the "nippers" having been placed
around his wrist, he was marched to
the Butler street police station. Here
he refused 10 give his name, and told
the old story of being "hard up" and
having to steal to procure food. Cap
tain Leavy, while talking with the
prisoner, saw that he was making an
effort to hide something which he had
taken from his poket He seized the
thiefs hand and drew from it two skel-
eton keys which had picklocks on each
end. On being further searched sew
eral articles of jewelry belonging to
Miss Trimble were found in his pocket.
These evidences of his guilt having
been discovered, the prisoner gave his
name as David Henry and said he lived

What it Cost to Expedite"

eminent counsel for the prosecution OF
the Star reuters, declares that he re-
signed from the case because the
prosecution were not taking proper
steps to secure necessary new evidence,
and he predicts that the trial will end
in a fzzle. He does not think that
even the admission CT Walsh's testi-
mony will exercise any serious influence
upon the general issue. At the best Tor
worst ii is liable to injure only Brady.
Mr.. Walsh swore that when he called
upon General Brady for settlement OF
their financial accounts. the latter I'M

ROYAL HANDS FOR SALE.
The MarriageabIe Princes and Prin-
cesses in Europe

NCSStb III ENuEOUC
The Manchester (England) Guardian
in recent issue says: In accordance
with its annual custom the HeroH of
st. Petersburg has just published a
complete list of the manageable prin-
ces and princesses living at the present
moment in Europe. The manageable
age for a prince is from tweuty-four to
forty, and for princess from eighteen
to twenty weight. The former, therefore,
has sixteen manageable years as
against poor decade of the other. On
the other hand the number of eligible
princes exceeding that OF manageable
princesses. There are thirty-one of the
former and twenty-four of the latter.
Most of these princes ns t-lrally belong
to prince-ridden German. There are,
indeed, no less than twenty German
princes now on the marriage market.
In this list is not included any rep
resentatiye of the royal house of Prussia
the eldest son of the Crown Prince be-
ing married already, and the second
being only twenty years old. The most
eligible bachelor of the number is no
doub5 King Ludwig, of Bavaria, but
no more obdurate bachelor and mis-
ogynist exists. The rest of the Princes
are little better than Princelings, and in
mentioning one of them-Henry XVII,
Prince of Reuss-the chronicler from
whom we are quoting thinks himself
bound to add that though the princi-
pality is but small the Prince is uncom-
monty well off. The rest of Europe has
but poor supply Of Princes by the
side of Germany. France offers a
Bourbon in the person OF Prince Peter
d'0rleans, born in 1S45, and nov occu-
plying the humble position of Liedten-
ant in the French navy. Denmark

the Kings youngest son, Prince Waldo
mar. The royal house of Italy furnish
es that eligible widower, Prince Anna
doe, once King of Spain. Another
widower Of less eligible description is
Prince Albert, lord and master of tiny
Monaco. The Netherlands. Austria,
Russia and Portugal each furnish one
or more representatives to the list OF
princesses there is in the first place and
above all our own Princess Beatrice,
the only remaining unmarried daugh
ter of the Queen, now % years old.
Other Processes are to be found by
the wooer with the necessary quali6ca-
tons in Spain, Portugal, Holstein,
Hessen and other minor German prin-
cipalities. Lastly ifany one is bold en-
ough to WOO a new Penthesilea, she is
perhaps to be found in that defendant

Star Route Law.
New YORK Herald.

The star route proceedings have
reached stage which affords AZ en-
tertaining illustration Of one of the
curious retinements of the law or its
administration under which this case is
tried. Up to this point the most dam
aging testimony against the Jobbers has
been excluded by Judge Wylie, because
no conspiracy has been established.
Now the star route lawyers argue
that no conspiracy has been established
because the evidence produced does
not show that the ring conspired to
plumber the government. Thus when
Walsh took the stand to swear to the
significant convers alton in which Brady
is alleged to have demanded for himself
twenty per cent. of Walsh's receipts for
having expedited" his route besides
Walsh's contribution to the COMPRESSION
al fund, and to have informed Walsh
that this was simply applying to him
the same rule that had been enforced
against the other ring contractors, the
proposed evidence was objected to be-
cause conspiracy had not been proved.
The important testimony Of Rerdell
was excluded for the same reason. Now
it is claimed that there is no conspiracy
because there is no proof of its exist
ence. This will doubtless strike the
average lay mind, which sees in the
testimony of Rerdell and Walsh the
most pointed, if not legally competent
proof OF conspiracy, as piece of legal
jugglery which might be diverting il
the issue involved were less serious.
But the ordinary layman looks al
the mater from a common sense in
stead Of a legal standpoint. The pro-
ceedings to which we. have referred may
be regular enough in law, but should
the result be the exclusion of the most
significant evidence tending to show the
existence of a conspiracy and the con-
sequent finding that no conspiracy has
been shown, it will be pertinent TO in
quire whether the law cannot be made
to defeat as readily as promote the end
OF justice.
