A Black Regiment.

The famous "Black Regiment" Of
Arabi's forces was the Oldest in the
E gyptian army and has seen service on
American soil. It was founded by the
famous Mehemet Ali, the founder OF
the present dynasty, and is composed
exclusively of black Soudanese and
Barbarins, none Of whom are under five
feet eleven inches. 1t was with these
that Mehemet Ali repeatedly beat the
Turks, and it was with these again that
he defied England. These men are
hated by the Egyptians, who, being
afraid of them, have tried in vain to
disperse them and disband the regi-
ment. Mehemet Ali himself, also Said
and Ismail Pashas, repeatedly tried to
get rid of them, and when Napoleon
Ill, finding that Frenchmen could not
live in Mexico, asked the Khedive to
lend him his Black Regiment, the lat
ter was only too glad to oblige him,
hoping that by sending them across the
Atlantic he would not only gain the
friendship of the great French nation,
but would free Egypt OF the terrible
blacks at the same time. The Khedive
was, however, mistaken in this, as the
famous Black Regiment maintained its
reputation in Mexico and fought SO
gloriously that they obtained special
terms on leaving the country.

Incredible, But True.

The rapidity with which Texas

wonderful, and the number of water
melons that he is able to absorb on the
shortest notice, battles the numeral
system. Not long since, when water
melons were fashionable. an Austin
gentleman bet friend that hired
colored boy could eat forty-pound
watermelon in four minutes. The boy

which was granted. On his return, he

Newly Married.

It is said that brides and bridegrooms
seek to conceal their recent metamor-
phosis from single to married life by
Stimulating either the demeanor Of old
married people or Of unmarried people.
Several years ago, it is reported, there
has a very painful revelation Of this
depravity Of the newly-married. One
day large hotel piazza was occupied
by what, at first glance, would have
been thought to be fifty bachelors.
Suddenly their apparent meditations
on the loneliness Of single life were
broken by the words from side door,
which came playfully from woman's
lips, "Hubby, deafl" Thereupon forty
nine Of the loungers leaped to their
feet with amazing swiitness, and re-
sponded, lovingly, "What, my darling 2

Time and the Maiden.

little girl rock'd in fairy boat,
By the waves of the river of life afioat.
And her golden tresses and laughter gay
Floated back on the breeze as she sped away;
And she gaily cried to the boatman gray,
''Ply faster your tardy oars, pray,
And bear me away from this blossoming wood
To the beautiful leland Of maidenhood."
The maiden's isle has been reached and
passed
Still on and beyond is her fond gaze cast,
As she cries again to the boatman gray, rr ,
'Ply faster your tardy oars, pray, ~
For my lover is waiting by yonder shore,
With silded bark and golden oar;
Love sits at the helm to cheer and guide,
And he waiteth for me, his chosen BRIDE"
Oh, love, what beautiful freight hast thou
The bark is laden from stem to PROV,
And the mother gazes with loving pride
On her mate and the dear ones who throng her
side;
Yet still she cries to the boatman gray,
''Ply faster your tardy oars, pray, EeFf
For Wealth, and Fame, and Honor await
My loved ones when they shall reach mans
estate"
And now the river is deep and wide,
And branches flow from its either side,
And the children to man and womanhood
grown, az 1agl l 4laA
Are launching forth in boats of their own.
And the mother cries, with sudden fear,
"Oh, tarry, gray -boatman, yet longer herel
Why hurry on with such speed pray?
You are bearing my loved ones all away"

Dreams of the Past.

Fair dies the sunset, so golden and tender,
Wistfully charming our spirits away;
So all the gladness and pleasures and sad
ness,
All that is beautiful never can stay.
Yet as the sunshine that near us at MONDAY
Seemed not 80 lovable, winsome and dear;
SO all the joy and the love and the friendship,
When far away, more enchanting appear.
They who have labored well love the nights
coming,
Gladly they wait more beautiful morn,
All of the good we have loved is immortal;
Out of the sunset the sunrise is born.
When in the twilight we long to look back
ward,
Then; oh, come back again lovely and clear,
Sweet as a sunrise that brightens forever,
Dreams of the past once again, oh, appear

A LUCKY LARCENY.

Mr.. Courtney was the uncle of two
nephews-the one brothers and the
other a sister's son. These two were
his next of kin and legally entitled, in
case he died intestate, to inherit his
property.
Edward Horton, his dead sisters son,
was decidedly his favorite, and to him
the uncle decided to give the bulk of
his estate.
Charles Courtney, the other nephew,
Lad inherited large fortune from his
father, and moreover, by his uncle's
will, was entitled to succeed to that left
to his cousin in event of the latter dying
without issue.
Old Mr.. Courtney was one of the
halest OF bachelors when it was sud-
denly announced, not only that he was
dead, but that foul play was suspected.
A post mortem examination demon
strated that he had fallen victim to
poison, and it was circulated that the
hand that administered it was the hand
of his favorile nephew.
The public mind was naturally both
surprised and shocked.
It was not until Edward Horton had
been fnlly committed for his uncle's
murder that was retained to get up
the defense.
His own statement was, in substance,
this:
A physician had called in to see Mr..
Courtney on the occasion of some ap-
parent slight illness, requiring some
simple remedy, prescription for which
was handed to the prisoner to have
made up.
This the latter carried to we'll
known, competent druggist, whU had it
put up in his presence. The medicine
consisted of three white powders, each
wrapped up in a separate scrap Of
paper. and the whole enclosed in q
single wrapper. They were to begiyen
at intervals of an hour, and had re-
NAMED continually in the prisoners
possession until the first was admins
tered, which was done by himself i'm
mediately ON returning from the drug
gist's. Mr.. Courtney grew rapidly
worse, and when, at the expiration oi
an hour, the second was administered,
the symptoms became so alarming that
messenger was dispatched for q ply
sicisn, who, on his arrival, declared that
the patient was suffering from the effect
OF poison. An examination Of the re-
naming powder disclosed the fact that
it was pure arsenic. 1t was too late fol
any antidote to be available, and in less
than an hour death bad relieved the
sufferer. An autopsy Of the body and
an analysis of the contents OF the
stomach left no doubt as to the cause
Of the death. The presence Of the
arsenic in u necessarily fatal quantity
was indicated by every known chemical
test. 1t was further admitted by the
prisoner that he alone had access to his
uncle's apartment, or had handled the
medicine from the time it was com.
pounded by the druggist till the coming

and bordered with soutache and small
buttons set very close together. They

casaquins and dark royal blue French
casaquins will also be worn but most
effective and becoming of all will be
the white Vatican tunics with black

trimmed with broad black velvet ribbon,
with deep collar and cuffs Of velvet to

a mail which was dispatched from San
Francisco at O'Clock last Monday after
noon. 1t was five days and four hours In
transit, which is the quickest mail service
ever performed between San Francisco and

overland mail made close connections with
the Pennsylvania railroad limited express at

arrangements made by Postmaster Pearson

Company, tug, In charge of Superin-

October 20, two days ahead Of schedule
