MASKED ROBBERS.

a Farm. House at West CharttoW, N. r.,
ENTERED by Masked Men and ROBBED

recent Dispatch from Troy, N. ", says
The farmhouse Of Thomas NJ. ana Alexander
Gllchrist and their sister, in the town Of
Charlton. Ssrstogs county, was entered by
Eve masked men. The inmates were gagged
and tound. Two OF the burglars went for
Alexander and forced him into the pantry,
where desperate struggle occurred, In which
Gichrist stabbed one OF the rob
bers with q two-tined fork, one OF the
tines breaking OF in the mans body. Mr. Gil
christ was badly injured about the head by some
instrument probably a revolver, In the hands
Of one OF the men. A pool OF blood was found
on the floor, supposed TO have been from tho
wounded man. Alexander was shackled, aud
Thomas was secured in the same manner by
two men, while the fifth took care OF the sister.
The brothers were then carried into tho cellar
and securely tied TO post. The sister was left
however, very plucky. She would not put her
hands behind until forced by three OF the men,
who placed revolver to her head. The bur-
glars were evidently well posted in regard TO
the house, as they went to q bed, lifted mp o
tick, and found The kew 10 the safe. They took
about $500 IN money, and fully S150,G In So
curities. Shortly after the men left the house
Miss Gilchrist whose wrists are very large,
slipped her shackles and liberated her brothers.

IN TEUT4N, BARBARY.

The street where we lodged was, as I
have said, clean but it was very mar
row, the line Of high whitewashed
houses on either side, presenting sur
face of solid wall broken only by small
grated windows. was entirely Moorish
in its character. Few other portions Of
the compact city were 80 clean. 1t was
market-day, the day We spent in Teutan,
and the best occasion for seeing the
country people and the life of the place.
The open squares and streets Of shops
swarmed with buyers and sellers aud
calm walters ON Providence. The crowd
had certain picturesqueness, but it
wanted the color of many Oriental popu-
lations, for the uniform dress is white,
or dirty white and dirty brown, and Of
very coarse material. The exceptions
are the Jews, who wear, as in Tangier,
black skull caps, and the few Moorish
gentlemen and rich shop-keepers, whose
voluminous turbans and amply flowing
robes of spotless silk and linen p,esent
the true Oriental type Of luxurious mag
nifcence. The guide-books are always
beseeching the traveller 10 admire the
Jewesses of Tangier aud Teutan. AS
these women go unveiled, it is easy to
do so. They use color in their street
apparel, a sort of broad embroidered
bands worn Jongitudinally on the dress.
Those past youth are usually rather
gross in form and face, but the young
women have regular features-some OF
them q faultless form, fine eyes and
good complexion and all Of them are
many shades lighter than the men. A
really handsome woman, however, is
usually such surprise to the traveller in
Africa, as she is in Southern Spain, that
he is apt to fall into an extrsvagance Of
gratitude for the sight The Moorish
women may be equally alluring, but
cover all OF the face except the eyes. 1
noticed here, as / had noticed on the
plain the evening before, that the
women wore short leggins Of red leather.
These are survivals OF the Roman fasci@
and are exactly such as were worn by
the Moorish women Of Granada, as may
be seen in o curious bas relief represent
ing the baptism Of Moslem women, after
the conquest, in the chapel Of Ferdinand
aud Isabella, at Granada.

THE ALHAMBRA.


The veritable entrance TO the Alham-
bra is nov buried within some later
buildings added to the original. But it
never, though Irving naturally supposed
the contrary, had q grand portal in the
middle. Gorgeous and SNOWY means Of
ingress would not have suited tn
Oriental mind. The exterior Of the
palace and all the towers is duh, blank,
uncommunicative. The Moslem idea
was to secrete the abodes of earthly bliss,
nor even 10 hint at them by outward
signs Of ostentation.
30 the pretty modern door cut for
convenience is not wholly out of keeping.
1t ushers one with sudden surprise into
the presence of those marvels which
have been for years a distant enticing
vision. You fiud yourself, in fact, wan
dering into the Alhambra courts as if by
accident. The first one-the Court Of
the Pond, or Of the Myrtles-arrays be-
fore us beauty enough and to spare.
But it is only the beginning. A long
tank occupies the center, brimmed with
water from a rill that gurgles by day
and night, forever, with low, half
laughing sob. Around it level plates Of
white marble are riveted to the ground,
and two hedges of clipped myrtle border
the placid surface. At the nearest end
q double gallery closes the court, i'm
posed on seven arches 80 evenly rounded
as to emulate the Roman, but upheld by
columns Of amazing slenderness and in
the spandrels are translucent arabesques
inlaced with fillets, radiating leaf points
and loose knots. Above these blink
some square windows, shut as with
frozen gauze by minute stone lattice
work, over fifteen hundred twisted or
cubed pieces being combined in each.
From there the women of the harem
used to witness pageautries and cere-
monies that teok place in the court !;
and over the veiled windows is rooted
balcony repeating the lower arches,
which would serve for spectators not
under ban of invisibility.
One of the most beautiful glimpses
about the Alhambra is that tnz<kpoeghs
east window, looking along the psZkpet
gallery to the Toilet Tower. Precipit-
GUS masonry plunges down among trees
that shoot incredibly high, as il incited
by the lines Of the building, and on the
Mountain Of the Sun the irregular lint
white buildings Of the Generalife--an
old retreat Of Moorish sovereigns and
nobles-are lodged among Expresses
and orange thickets. Within the ball
itself oil is cool, subdued and breezy,
and the smooth vault OF the larch- wood
ceiling, still dimly rich with azure and
gold, spans the area high overhead like
a solemn twilight sky at night.-Har-

FUN IN AFRICA.

RICH ACTORS.

There are very few rich doctors, and
lever rich actors. John Owens was
rich. He made his money by saving
and lost IL in speculation. Joe Jeffer-
son made fortune by saving. He rarely
spends anything, yet more rarely gives.
Edwin Booth is coming money. He had
much at one time, sunk it, with much
more belonging to his friends, went into
bankruptcy, TO the grief OF his creditors,
rebegan to work and save, and is now
holding on to every dollar with the grip
ofavarice. Charles r. Thorne, through
the death of his wife's father, will enjoy
the income Of a handsome estate, about
500, 600, 1 hear. Robson, having
mascotte in the person of William II.
Crane, has made and kept small fort
une. Mckee Rankin and his wife have
a solid foundation. Meg ,ie Mitchell
and Lolita Crabtree are we'll OF. The
reports of Mary Anderson's money are
exaggerated. She will have fortune
In time, If she saves her cash, but she
hasn't it yet. Lester Wallack would
not cut up very fat. Now what others
are there with money? You can't tell
them. I certainly cannot. The impe-
cuniosity of literary men is well known,
and an editor with a dozen new shirts
would be treat for sore eyes. Actors
spend their money freely and accept the
stern behests of poverty cheerfully. 1t
is absurdly claimed that they are over
paid. That's nonsense. In the first
place actors don't average $50 a week,
and in the next place they get that only
in the season, which averages thirty
eight weeks out of the fifty.two. They
really don't get more than $35 or $40 on
an average-the best of 'em. / think
they are underpaid. But if they are
overpaid how is it with the women {?
They get less salary and have larger
outgoes. How so? Why, if an actor
has dress suit and three or four ordi-
nary costumes, he's well equipped for
the season, but the women have to dress
each new part. A dress.coat is Dress
coat in one play as well as another, but
an actress can't wear ball-dress, or any
other in fact, in two plays. Then, too,
mems attire costs less. Women must
dress Ia mode, and as a rule have a
different costume in each act.--Mew

THE FINEHESs OF ELECTRIC POW.

But if our giant is thus q prodigy both
OF strength and Of application and con-
centration of strength, let it not be sup
posed that he resembles other giants in
an unfitness for work that is refined and
delicate. He is no numbering, clumsy
mass OF power merely, too rough-handed
for work that requires sensitive touch,
and too gross in perception to be able to
separate the coarse from the fine. Pow
eriul as he is from the merely mechan-
ical point of view, his powers in regard
to minutie are quite as marked, and, il
possible, more marvellous. The hand
that is SO weighty has touch as fine az
the most delicate woman. 1t can catch
up and repeat along long conductor
the most minute vibrations caused by
the human voice, reproducing them with
most perfect accuracy. 1t can grasp and
magnify the vibrations of the movements
OF the tiniest insect, SO that they become
audible to the human ear. It can de-.
tect the most infinitesimal speck Of met
al in any substance, and disclose its
presence unerringly. It can record per-
manently the rhythm of the feeblest
pulse. 1t can measure in degrees so
close that it is difficult to put them down
on scale the variations in the heat of q
body. 1t can detect trace OF moisture
to which drop is as the Pacific ocean.
1t can act with such rapidity that by its
aid photograph can be taken in the
five-thousandth part Of second, 10 that
several distinct pictures OF horse can
be taken in successive stages of one
bound. II can correct clocks long dis
tances apart to the tenth Of q second. It
can move in motions 80 minute and rap
Id as to resemble the vibrations of an
insects wings. 1t can take the cast Of
the most delicate molding without los
ing shade Of its perfection. 1t can re-
cord the variations Of the speed of bull
let from the time it moves from the
breech until il leaves the muzzle of the
gun. There is almost no limit to the
minuteness Of its action or the refine
ment to which it can be brought
