ARREST or BELLE BOYD.
a Noted Woman, who was 81 y for the
Confectionery. in Custody for Forgery.
From the Galveston News.

From the Galveston News.
Belle Boyd, the famou: Confederate spy,
was arrested in Philadelphia, few days ago,
for utterring forged check on pawnbroker
for goods she had pledged, but was afterward
released on the money being refunded by
friends. This, it is alleged, is only one Of the
many crooked" operations in which she has
for some time been engaged. Some of the
merchants of Philadelphia testify to having
been victimized by the dashing Belle in vari-
GUS sums. On one occasion she visited a
grocery dealer and ordered goods to the
amount of Sill, in payment of which she
rendered check for SIS, at the same time
giving directions where the purchases were to
be delivered, which happened to be the resi-
dence OF one of the merchants very best GUS
toners. The check, of course, was accepted.
and the necessary changed returned;
but when the goods were taken
to the place designated and the lady
of the house refused to receive them
saying that she had not ordered them, the I'M
wary grocer became aware that the wool had
been drawn over his eyes by his artful Gus
toner. Another complaint comes from a
music firm, of whom Belle bought couple of
cal tastes. They were to be paid for in
HlOHtllly ulStdlllnCAlS, anu WHICH, lhS LII d PoJ
ment fell due the collector called every day
for week, but each time was unable to gain
admission into the house. At last, however,
becoming desperate, he succeeded in effecting
an entrance through force, but only to discover
that the piano had been pawned. Belle has
never been subiugated, perhaps, and feels that
she has the same right to raid upon the enemy
in times of peace as in times of war. This is
all wrong; She should learn to lay aside her
prejudices and ''let the dead past bury its
dead

NV Lady.
My lady is sweet and tender, and the charm

My lady is sweet and tender, and the charm
of her presence fingers
In the sun-warmed room of the air where
she kisses my lips and goes;
And my cheeks are all aglow with the touch
of her dainty fingers.
And my lips are sealed for love of her, but
she knows, my lady knows.
My lady Is true and tender. All, my heart
so staunch and tender
And am weak and trustees as the widest
wind that blows.
But love to watch my lady, as l love to
watch the splendor
That burns in regal glory in the exquisite
heart of the rose.
She knows my faults and follies, and the love
that grows and folds them,
And she gathers the careless words speak
and the pain that with them goes,
And close to her dainty bosom my dainty lady
holds them,
As she might the morns and fragrance Of
PASSIONATE summer rose.
Sometime the rose will wither, and the thorns
that live forever
Alone. she will wear in her bosom, wher
the leaves are curled and dead;
But the thorns she will take, my lady, the
thorns that live forever.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean The re-
publicans of California are more than usually
hopeful of winning the day in the next cleo
ton. Their recent slate convention was har
monious and sensible, entirely and emphati-
cally SO. The Distinguishing feature of the
platform was the Sunday utterance. The res
olution on the subject insisted that the Sab
bath should be observed as day of rest from
the ordinary labors of life, so far as practical
BILE, but distinctly conceded the right of every
IN. n to rest in his own way. According TO
Scotch ideas, the greater part OF the day should
be spent in religious exercises. According to
the German conception of Sunday, it is a
time for innocent recreation and social ameni-
Ties. The California platform is at once thor
uughly conservative and broadly liberal with,

IN A MAELSTROM.

A Scandinavian emigrant gives
the following account of a tragedy in
the famous Lofoden maelstrom. his
rustic patois of the fiords doubtless
being 'lost in the free translation" of
n Toronto reporter: A few years ago,
on delightful July evening, saw
body of Goldfish rise by the edge of
the whirlpoors outer circles, and i'm
mediately after the cod had risen
whale arose among them ans spouted.
The column of spray blown up like a
geyser attracted the attention of a
small fishing boat not loss than u
half mile distant, and knowing that
where the whale blew there was cod,
they pulled toward the spot. In the
boat was pretty old man and his
son, lad of about sixteen. They
had just come for the first time out
to the Lofodens, and now pulled
carelessly inside the circle. Their
boat began to move slowly around,
but they went on fishing unmindful
Of the motion. But the movement
increased, as every minute the circle
grew smaller AMI the swirl moved
faster. At length the truth dawned
upon the luckless old man and the
boy. A faint scream of terror from
the lad came over the water; they
grasped their oars and pulled with
desperation. But they were in the
meshes. 1t seemed as if some fiend
were dragging them to the vortex.
For a time they held their own
against the centerward force, but
only for while. The old mans
strokes became less steady, so did
the lads. The latter again rallied,
and was pulling with the desperation
of despair when his oar unshipped
and fell over. In moment it was
carried away. Then the two set up
wild, piercing cry, put their hands
up, praying to God for mercy-they
could not expect deliverance. In a
minute or two it was all over. The
boat was whirled round and round,
then her stern was seen to rise in
the air, then with all she contained.
she disappeared forever.

The SEA OF GALGLEE.

Riding :jy the foot Of Hattin over
the place where 700 years ago, Sala-
din anniAiiated the crusaders power
il Palestine" we at length reached a
ridge where we looked out on the
dlatan: hills Of Bashan. and down lar
below us upon dark blue pear or
halp shaped sheet of water, lying
snugly IN Il deep inclosure OF high
brown hills. Though less than 13
miles long and seven miles broad.
yet measured by the events it has
witnessed, it is a kind of Pacific
Ocean. 1t was the Sea of Galilee.
rs we moved over the long way
downward TO its level $50 feet be-
low the Mediterranean Sea-we had
time 10 grasp and fix its whole as
pect and surroundings. 1t lacks
boldness OF outline, for its hills
slope gradually back from the shore,
or leave a narrow plain, as at Gen
nersaret and Buthia. But the lights
and shadows lie sweetly on the hill
SIDES at night and morning; the
northern end is broken into pleasant
little bays, and Hermon looms
grandly up beyond, far OIL, yet seem
ingly near. The whole aspect OF the
lake is one that suggests the thought
and the lack OF beautiful homes. Il
was still long ride to the lake. The
region we were passing, once brimful
OF life and activity, WIS utterly for
5aken now. The entire lake Law
spread before us, and nearly the
whole OF its coast line, along or near
winch once lay the cities of Tarichca,
Iiberias, Hippo, Gamala. Gergesa,
Bsthsaida, Chorazin, Capernaum,
Magdala and Beth Arbel. OF these
cities, Tiberias once had its Senate of
800; Gamala was able to resist and
defeat Nespasian at the head of three
legions, and when captured by Yes
pasian and Titus it lost 400 in the
fight, and 5000 who hurled them
selves or were pushed down the
preclplces; while Tarichea, accord
ing to Josephus. was able at one
time to furnish 1880 for slaughter

representatives of all this strength
and activity We're the little cluster of
huts called Mejdei (Magadala) and
the shrunken Tiberias, with its 2OOO
inhabitants. From our path not a
vlstage of the other places could be
discerned. 1t was near sunset when
We entered I'ibcrias. We followed
the road through the gate. but could
easily have passed through the rents
in the walls. The now squalid city,
mentioned but once in the New
Testament, has been the chief home
of Jewish learning since the de-
struction Of Jerusalem. Here the
Jerusalem Talmud was completed,
and here is now what may be called
the present theological school of the
Jews.

JAY GoJLD's POWER.

Governor Crit,enden, Of Missouri,
IN an address 10 the people of Rich
mond, No, said:
Fully one third of the whole rail
way system of the country IS under
the control of Jay Gould. The rail
way system OF the southwest is under
his command. He controls-if not
directly, through others Union
Pacific. constructed at government
al cost of over S60,0O0.00O. He con-
trois the Wabash system. 1t is said
that If he had the management of the
Delaware q Lackawanna system or
the Erie system Of which NAV
fall into his possession at any time
he would have an unbroken railway
connection from Boston to the west
ern and southern extremities of the
country. Ike controls the elevated
system of railways in New York City.
He controls the entire telegraphic
system of this country, which places
the private telegraphic communica-
tions, the press and the markets of
our land under his supervision and
management. l call your attention
to the list of securities under his au
thority, which may impress your
minds with the power of this one
man to control the destinies of this
country.

The WOOL MARKET.

Perhaps it is safe to say that the
growing of wool upon the Pacific
slope is no longer considered as
profitable as iii years past. Land
has become more valuable, and the
vast tracts OF Government land upon
which the sheep were, heretofore, al
lowed to Craze without restraint, is
now being entered upon and cult
waited with grain or laid out into
graperies, orchards, etc. We have
now stock of wool in warehouse of
100000 pounds, and to a very con
siderable extent it is defective. or
short staple of the fall clip. At
present the few sales making are to
scourers, who are giving more atten-
ton to the business than heretofore.
There are no Eastern wool buyers
here at present. A good many clips
contain foxtail in small quantities.
and if but a dozen seeds are found
in sack the whole crop is con-
demned Wool growers will have to
change their shearing grounds and
fall ranges before shearing, after
coming out of the mountains. Fox
tail seeds are said to be more dam
aging to the wool than burs, and if
onr wool growers would keep woods
up to their high standard of excel
lenco, they must, in the future,
either shear their sheep in the noun
tains, or procure places in the valley
that are free from foxtail grass.

OXYGEN AS A POISON.

In the progress of physiological
chemistry. further confirmation is OBJ
tanned of the poisonous effect of an
overdose of oxygen. This gas is so
important a constituent of the atmos-
phere, and so essential to health, that
most readers will be greatly sur
prised to hear that it can be q poison.
To breathe compressed air is danger
Gus, as some wor&men have expert
enced, and it has been recently
proved that thirty-fve per cent. of
oxygen in the blood acts as a rapid
poison. The quantity usually pres
ent in blood is about half of this.
Dogs subjected to compressed air fall
into commissions at pressure Of three
and nalf atmospheres, and at five
atmospheres they die. In many re-
spects the symptoms of poisoning by
oxygen resemble those of poison
ing by strychnine.

ABOUT HYEROPHOBIA.

In his late work ON the Influence
of the Mind upon the Body" DR.
Luke supports the hypothesis that
hydrophobic symptoms are often de
veloped without previous incubation.
In Illustration, he relates a notable
instance of a physician of Lyons,
who, having assisted in the dissection
of several victims of the disorder, i'm
agined that he himself had become
inoculated On attempting to drink,
he was seized with a spasm of the
pharynx, and in this condition roamed
about the streets for three days. Al
length his friends succeeded in con-
vincing him of the groundlessness oi
his apprehensions. and he at once re-
covered. DIR. Marx, German physi
clan writing to The Clinic, regards by
drophobia as morbid affection of the
Imagination induced by fear, and, il
support of his opinion. cites some in
teresting cases in which persons un
aware of the superstition have es
capped the spasms.

AN ENGLISH SOLDIER.

There has just attained his ninety
eighth birthday gallant old gentle
man, who to showing may claim to
be the "Doyen, or Father, "
Of the British Army. General
George Macdonald, Colonel of the
Bedfordshiro Regiment, was born on
the 10th of October, 1874, only three
years after tho surrender of Lord
Cornwallis at Yorktown, and six
wears before the storming Of Ismail
by Suvarof. In 1905, the year that
Trafalgar WAS fought, young Mac
Donald was appointed an ensign III
the 9th Foot, and accompanied the
expedition to Hanover, which Ma
poleon succeeded in wrestling, stud
of cream colored horses and all, from
the British Crown. In 1906 he joined
the British force in Sicily, whence, in
1911, he proceeded to.the Neapolitan
mainland, and was present at the
taking of lschia and Procida. In
1872 his regiment was sent to Spain,
and he was at the siege of Tarragona
1914 found him in Canada, engaged
in operations before Plattsburg; but
he was in time to get back to Europe
for the Waterloo campaign; and on
the glorious 18th of June, 1915, he
was thrice wounded-in the leg. in
the neck, and through the lungs.
This was a pretty good account to
show for ten years service. In the
Waterloo year, the "Father of the
British Army" was only thirty-one
years of age. Then came the piping
times OF peace. In 1871 he was Gov
ernor of Sierra Leone, and he after
wards became Governor of Dominica.
Gunshot wounds, malaria, and the
yellow fever have had no effect on
the fine old soldier, and he is alive
and, it is to be hoped merry-at
eight-and ninety years.

THE VINE IN CANADA Considerable
expectations are entertained by the
Canadians Of successful vine growing
i'll the more southerly portions of the
Province of Ontario. The total area
of vinyards is at present 1924 acres,
but it is not stated what proportion
of the product Is devoted to wine
making and what to table use. Al
though the cultivation of the grape
in such northerly latitudes on this
Continent seems a good deal like the
favorite jest of the free traders in
regard to forcing the production of
tropical fruits in Greenland, the ex-
port of Canadian wines is spoken of
as though it might become a consid-
cradle source of revenue.

CANNON HEARD FIFTY MILEs.-A
recent Ne,cs scrap says that 'the
sunset gun at Governors Island. New
York, can be heard at Freehold, N. j.,
81 miles away in an air line" An
important political event is recalled
to an old resilient by a similar acci
dent. A cannon fired here was heard
at Bloomington and the shots counted.
That is fifty miles by an air line.
j Ketcham was then in Bloomington,
his old home, heard the shots and
counted them, and on his way home
the next day he INQUIRED where tie
cannon was. He heard of none till
he got here, and was told Of the oc
casion, and the number of shots cor
responded to his count.
