Stabbing His Coat Collar.

Some years ago a story came from
Paris that criminal condemned to
death had been executed in novel
way, and without blood letting. The
culprit was bIindfolded and laid upon a
marble slab after being informed that
he was to be bled to death. A needle
was used with which to prick his arm,
and as the point touched him drooss of
warm water were sprinkled SO that they
ran down his side, and to the condemn
ed it appeared that he was bleeding to
death. In little while the experiment
proved success ul, and the man expir-
ed, such was the force of imagination.
A case somewhat resembling this
was brought before the notice of Police
Officer Jones the other day. AS he
passed the Vandalia building, he saw a
man lying on his back in the entrance.
The strangers hands we're crossed upon
his breast, and his legs were close to-
gether. AS Jones afterward said. "He
looked every inch a corpse" The face
was bloodless. The eyes were closed as
though in death. The handle of 81
acknife protruded from point between
the collar and the jugular vein. The
blade was hidden. Jones jumped to
the conclusion of suicide. He took
hold of the knife and drew it out of its
resting place. The blade was unsulelid.
Being aroused, the man said he had
attempted suicide. Instead of wound
ing himself, he merely stabbed the col
lar of his coat. Then he felt that he
was dying. Visions of father. mother,
and home passed through his mind, he
said, only for moment, and then he
became unconscious. He was perhaps
just entering the spirit land when Jones
called him hack.

The True Wife.

Oftentimes | have seen tail ship
glide by against the tide as if drawn
by some invisible bow-line, with hur-
dred strong arms pulling it. Her sails
were untitled, her streamers were droop-
ing, she had neither side wheel nor
stern wheel; still she moved on stately,
in serene triumph, as with her own
life. But | knew that on the other
side of the ship, hidden beneath the
great bulk that swan so msJestically,
there was little toilsome steam tug,
with heart of fire and arms of IRON,
that was tugging it bravery on, and |
knew if the little steam tug untwined
her arms and left the ship 1t would
wallow and roll about, and drift hither
and thither, and go off with the refiu-
ent, no man knows whittier. And so
have known more than one genius,
nigh decked, full freighted, idle-sailed,
gay-pennoned, but that for the bare,
toiliug arms and brave warm beating
heart of the faithful little wife that
nestles close to him, so that no wind or
wave could part them, would have gone
down the stream and have been heard
of no more.-OAter Wendell Holmes.

The political situation in nearly all
he southern states this year is full OF
nope and encouragement for the fu-
lure of that portion of the union. Sec
tionalism Is almost blotted out. The
solid south, ;" which for so many years,
if not generations, has been confront
ing a 'solid north" seems to have
melted away. The old party 'shib-
boleths" have lost their charm. In
nearly every southern state there are
what are called independent move
ments," not only against the democrat
ic party, but against the republican
organization. People and politicians
are divided on the tariff, on questions
of debt, taxation, state expenditures,
internal improvements, prohibition
temperance, currency. This shows a
healthy public sentiment. The southern
people are living in the present and
the future instead Of IN the dead and
dreary past. According to the present
outlook the next congress will contain
more Independent representatives rom
the south than 1T any period in It's his

Thirty Years without Food
London Times.

Samuel Bradley, and mother of Hon.
S. H. Bradley, was taking look at the
wreck of her former residence on
Union street, which had been partially
removed by the present owner, Mr.. X.
w. Evens. to the rear of the lot. Pass
ing along the foundation she saw the
base of brick chimney, the upper
part of which had been torn down. 1t
came into her mind that at the time
the chimney was built, about thirty
years ago, toad had been brlcked in
by one of the workmen, who said
at the time that it would live there q
good many years without food, air or
light. Curious 20 know what had be-
came of the toad, but scarcely excect-
ing to find any traces of it, she spoke

B0OTBLACK MURyEY'S SENTENCE.
n street Arab whose summer TOnr
Came TO Disastrous End.


Came 10 Disastrous End.
There left st. Louis about two week
ago, hright-eyed boy, Is years of age,
named Nick Murvey Although so
young, he started away with his boot
backing outfit to see the beautiful
scenery of the East. Having reached
his destination and enjoyed his summer
vacation, he ihougt he would start
back for his home in st. Louis to see
his little brother and sister again.
Everything went right until he reached
Columbus, o. Having tired of riding
under the seats and between the bag
gage cars, he thought he would rest by
going into a box car and lying down.
So, going little way up the track OF
the Little Miami Railroad, he and an
other boy broke open a box car going
toward st. Louis. They both got in.
and saw that the seal was broken. Open
ing the door and stepping in, the other
gamin leaped out of the side window,
but Nick remained quiet. The conduc-
tor took him in charge, and he was
carried to Columbus and there tried
and sentenced to five years in the Peni-
Tertiary.
On being taken to the Penitentiary
he wrote a letter to his friend, in st.
Louis, also a member of the profession,
named Shirley, asking him to tell his
brother Pete, who is but II years old
and also bootback, to come up right
away and see him in the convict suit,
which he has on already. On receiving
the above letter the news spread like
wildtire among the boys, who all liked
Nick and thought it hard on him. His
brother will leave to. or. ow for Column
bus TO see if he cannot do something
for Nick. Although but 12years Of age,
he is going TO beat his way under the
seats TO get there, and when he does,
as he stated with tears in his eyes, he
will plead hard to the Governor for
a pardon, and if he does not succeed
he will leave him to his fate.
The boys face is well known in st.
Louis. He was very shrewd boy,
saving and industrious. Having no
mother or father, he commenced early
IN life selling papers and backing boots.
He was up in the morning early TO sell
and shine and the last to leave the
streets in the evening. BY hard work
he saved sum which the boys say will
reach about 5000. A well known Fourth
street business man mas it in his pos
session now. He has besides himself
living his brother Pete, who is ~ years
and can neither read nor write, and a
little sister, child of 10 years, whose
place Of abode is st. Bridget's Orphan
Asylum. He was very fond of her and
would often send her ont money cakes
and candy. His brother would have
left sooner; but, as he told the reporter
to-day, he had sent Nick letter and
put three-cent stamp in it and now
waits for a reply.

THE Indians of New Mexico have
transferred the seat of their operations
from our territory to that of Mexico,
where, it is reported, they are murder
ing and outraging the men, women and
children who are SO unfortunate as to
be in their way. The Mexican troops
are in pursuit, and their commander
announces that in the event of their
capture, no mercy will be shown to the
raiders. The authorities at the Indian
Bureau in Washington are in happy
ignorance of the reported insubordina-
ton of the Sioux. This Is the old story.
Those who are charged with the adj
ministration of Indian affairs never, as
a rule, know anything until massacre
has taken place and they have war
on their hands.

Jumbo and the Baby Take a Bath.

The baby elephant Bridgeport took
her first bath and Jumb) the first he
had in this country, the other day, at
Brattleboro, VT. A deep and shady pool
IN Milestone Brook, conveniently near
the circus tents, was chosen. The baby
came down to the water with dainty,
mincing motion, dipped her toes into
the brink, shivered and partly withdrew
and then, urged by the keepers prod,
plunged bodily in. Once in she seem
ed to enjoy the wetttng and swan about
squil ing ieUs of water with her tiny
trunk and giving shrill grunts of salts.
faction. Jumbo appeared later, and
entered the bath hardly less suspicious
ly. When the first chill was over, how
ever he dived in headforemost, raising
the general level of the pool several IN
ches and sending the waves rolling up
against the bank. He cavorted around,
threw a stream of water into the air
with his trunk, and then settled down
into his bath till only the top of his
head and ridge of his back were seen.
As he rose the water rolled from his
sides like cascades trickling over rock
bed. In the evening the rest of the ell
ephants were given a bath, and for few
moments the stream presented the ap-
pearance of pool in an East Indian
Jungle with herd of wild elephants at
play.
