he levied blackmail on two ecclesiastics
and several rich widows, and at Monaco
engaged in saber duel with Spaniard, a
cavalry officer, whom he had cheated at
cards, and received the bad wound already
mentioned.
In two OF the blackmailing cases ne had
extorted money by assuming to have docu-
mentary evidence, which he had not. He
pretended to have letter showing an
intrigue on the part of priest and to hold
compromising correspondence written by a
widow of most pious assumptions. Having
learned, by dishonest diligence and pry-
ing ways, as well as by strange talent for
discovering evil in human nature, that
those persons had been guilty, he gained
access to them, and charged the guilt upon
them so audaciously and unexpectedly that
they confessed.
Karryminski had stained himself with
nearly every kind of villalny. and had a
genius for its perpetration. He was alto
gether professional, having constant eye
to evil.doing for mercenary ends. Easy,
winning, endowed with certain power Of
fascination, he exercised an extraordinary
influence, and totally prepossessed most
persons with whom he came into contact.
Men and women of marked individuality,
| Ike Goodwin, Archer and Margaret Roy
den, he often affected unfavorabiY. They
could feel, if they could not see, his moral
disorders, and none of his articles or ac-
com2lishments could delude them. But
marked individuality is SO very rare that
it may be said to be entirely exceptional as
spects mankind in genera.
The adyenturer had repeatedly been ar
rested, but had always managed to slip
through the meshes of the law. His ras-
calities were as a rule unknown until after
he had quilted the cities or countries where
he had practiced them. He had great skill
in disguises, and his culture and knowledge
of the world rendered him most formida-
BILE foe of society. He had become known
to the police of all Europe, and through
the police records Goodwin had been en-
abled to gather his information. He had
operated extensively in Paris and IN London
under many aliases and circumstances ;
had disappeared from Europe three or four
wears before Goodwin had begun his search,
and had not been definitely heard of since.
1t had been surmised that he had gone to
the East, and, nearly two years later, he
had been suspected of taking refuge in the
United States.
The London police, as the detective had
reported, had warned America of their
suspicion but the rogue had not been dis
covered. Goodwin had found out in New
| York the names of different people of dis
tinction in Europe from whom Barigues
had claimed to bring letters of introduction,
and in several instances he had learned by
personal application that they knew
no such man, and could not, there
fore, have given any such letters
they were unquestionably fOrgeries, as the
4 whole of Barigues' vile course had proved
him to be cunning forger of other mems
names and other mems characters.
After listening most attentively to Good
win, Archer said emphatically, you've
caught him, my dear boy. No doubt CT
that When Barigues gets his due, Harry
minski will certainly be hanged.

a Cat OPERA.

Once upon a time, and that time
dates back more than a hundred
years ago, there lived in Perth,
Scotland, poor unlettered Lad of
the name of Bisset. He must have
been born with a wonderful love for
animals and birds; in his eyes they
were very good''-friends and play
mates that could be trained to docile
ways, and in them he was sure he
could discover indications of greater
intelligence than others would give
them credit for. Necessity made it
imperative that the boy should be
to a shoemaker and for
years but small leisure came to the
lad; nevertheless, problems and
faneies filed his busy brain
One day, after be became a crafts
man on his own account, and while
at work at his bench, some old
friend read in his presence an &C
eount of the successful training of
animals by a man in a foreign
country. No one else who listened

'et was strangely stirred. Horses,
logs, monkeys, and, above all, cats, /

Public Opinion.

Let children be early taught to

lie opinion. Show them now the
world has always treated its great
men how it has stoned the prophets
crucified its Sayior-martyred its
apostles. Show how fickle-how
Understanding it is to this day
how ignorance speaks with the same
confidence, or even with more, than
knowledge-hOw the heights and
depths of the greatest minds are
measured at once by the conceit of
the smallest. Show how hard it is
for people to praise, how easy to
blame. Call the attention of the
young to the kind of criticism eur
rent of both men and things in this
much dreaded society, and let them
say, if they really seek excellence,
whether they ought to value such
criticism? When they have mas
tered any one subject, let them
listen to the fippant, trivial, con
ceited, shallow judgments of the
world of their acquaintance upon
it, and let them learn from that to
appreciate the worth of public opin-
ion, and judge whether the desire of
fame, based upon such public opin-
ion, is worth striving for, or ought
much to influence their motives to
action. To appreciate great man,
requires, il not one as great, still a
great man, and the judgments OF
the world, therefore, must be either
borrowed or erroneOus-more fire.

Upon whom does Fame bestow her
rewards? Rarely upon those who
deserve them. Does conscience APP

most intimate friends with respect
to our characters? How, then, can
we expect the world or posterity to
do justice? and praise or blame that
is not discriminating and just, who
would value?

Pasturing Wheat.

out of twenty thousand dollars sat
alone in a criminals cell, out of
which daylight had faded. Cover
ing on his hard bed he pictured to
himself the world outside, full of
warmth and light and comfort.
The question came to him sharply:
How came you here? Was it
really for the stealing of that last
great sum-"
Yes and no.
Looking back twenty years he
saw himself a school boy, ten years
old. He remembered one lovely
June day-with the roses in full
bloom over the porch, and the
dress his mother wore while at her
work, and the laborers in the wheat
fields.
Freshest of all he remembered
his Uncle John-such queer, kind,
forgetful old man! That very morn
ing his uncle had sent him away to
pay a bill at the country store, and
there were seyenty-two cents left,
and Uncle John did not ask him
for it.
When they met that noon, this
boy, now in prison, stood there I'M
der the beautiful blue sky, and a
great temptation came. He said
to himself, ''Shall give it back, or
shall l wait until he asks for it? If
he never asks, that is his lookout.
If he does, why, l can get it again
together"
He never gave back the money
a theft of twenty Thousand dol
lars brought this young man to the
prison-door, but when a boy he
turned that way years before,
when he sold his honesty for seven
ty-two cents.
That night he sat disgraced, and
an open criminal, in his chilly cell.
Uncle John was long ago dead. The
old home was desolate, his mother
broken-hearted. The prisoner knew
that what brought him there was
not the mans deed alone, but the
boys.
Had the ten-year-old boy been
true to his honor, life now would
have been all different. One little
cheating was the first of many, UNI
til his character was eaten out,
could bear no test, and he wrecked
his manliness and his life Elk

of movement, such perfection OF
pawtouch upon a dulcimer, that
performance was decided upon, and
was advertised in the Haymarket
Theatre as 1.-The Cats Opera. At
this exhibition, all his trained ami
mails were pressed into the service;
a delicate leveret created a furore
by playing very skillfully upon a
drum with his hind legs. Birds,
too, rs trained vocalists, Joined in
with wonderfully modulated tones,
forming an orchestra as rare as 1t
was amusing. Canaries, linnets
and sparrows learned to spell the
name of any person in company, to
distinguish the hour and minute of
time, and perform other equally
strange feats. A solemn, slow paced
turtle, one of his popular troupe,
was taught to fetch and carry like a
dog. The grand finale of some of
these strange exhibitions was a
contra-dance, executed by six brist,
ling turkey-cocks.
The skillful manager reaped a
golden harvest but through all his
successes one thought dominated in
Bisset's mind; and he was won't to
say to his friend, the long-ago un-
believing ones, ''See for yourselves
the results of sympathy, gentle
treatment and persistent effort"

Spoiled.

The world is full of spoiled chill

hood with all the disagreeable
qualities fostered in childhood vet
rampant The spoiled woman is
not a pleasant companion, and is
not beloved by her own sex, for the
reason that she is always talking
about herself, her belongings, her
furniture, her dress, her iewelrv.
Animals and children, she protests,
all fall in love with her at first sight /;
and she has an infinite host of
stories that illustrate the awed at
tachment with which she has in
spired unruly urchins of eight, the
passionate loyalty which she has
stuck into a little monster of fluffy
seltlshness in the shape of pet
poodle, and the mute subordination
with which she has thrilled cocka-
too whose strident garrulity nothing
could previously check, Then of
course there are the unusual nara
tives of the male conquests she has
made. No matter what the subject
Of conversation may be, she con
trives to bring it around to her

friends grow utterly weary of the

The practice Of turning hungry
cattle upon the public highways to
steal or starve must give way before
the wheel of progress and the adj
vent of more just appreciation OF
the rights of property. Grass,
whether wild or cultivated, is as
much the property of the owner of
the land on which it grows as is
corn, wheat, cotton, or any other
produce, but hitherto our laws have
required the landowner to guard
his grass by a most expensive fence,
or have it dispastured by his neigh
boris stock.
