Congressman Bedford, of Colorado.
has very thin voice, almost inaudible
across the House, and a nine-ycar-son
with an enterprisng Western spirit.
The other day Mr. Pelford tried in vain
to make the Speaker hear him in order
to offer bill. Little Sam bore the
situation as long as he could with COM
posture, then darting forward to the
area IN front of the Speakers desk, his
figure understood for his age, but 1.-the
as grasshopper, appeared in full view
before the Speaker and he called cut
amid the din: "General Keller. Cen
eral keifer! don't YOU see nv papa's
got paper he wants you to look at ."
The Speaker was amused at tn. bows
reminder, and promptly "saw" the
member from Colorado, who was per
to offer his measure The little
scene amused the House, however little
it suited the dignity OF the place.

Minnie Hauk, after making a great

in the company. Mapleson has found
the secret of managing bumptious sing

whole concern. Get half dozen
then If one grows refractory you can
just put another in her place. That

At 1t Again.

When John Sherman was Secretary
of the Treasury, he directed every eff

PRESS dispatch, dated Washington,
April 9th:
In the Senate to-day Mr.. Sherman

A Lucky Darkey.

Joe Meek is a lucky darkey, as is
demonstrated by his recent expert.
nee in mine discovery While out
hunting September 9Th on Old Badly
mountain, in the Barker country, he
stumbled OF to a ledge of silver ore up
in the region of perpetual snow. There
was eleven feet of snow covering it at
all points except where the discovery
was made. Here the snow had melted
away sufficiently to uncover the out
groupings.
He took a piece of the ore to Benton,
about sixty miles away, and had 1t
assayed. 1t showed $2.100 to the ton.
Meek's friends thought the assayer
was getting Off a good natured josh on
him, but Joe couldn't see 1t in that
light. He was advised by Mr.. Max
Waterman to go out TO his discovery
and bring IN the best rock he could
find. This he did, and Mr.. Water
man sent IL TO Milwaukee to have it
assayed. The return assayer's certifi-
cate stated that the ore went SO, 800 to
the ton. Then Joe got into a cold
sweat for fear some one would jump
his mine.
He had good reason. One morning
after the news was noised abroad he
went to his prospective bonanza and
found men stalking it off and claiming
that they had discovered it long
before. But as this was untrue Joe
with the assistance of his friends got
rid of the intruders. Subsequent
assays went still higher. The latest
news from the Joe Meek (for so it Is
named) is that its owner is packing
ore down the mountain two miles on
a mule and selling il Mt the smelter at
$3.50 per pound. So far Joe only has
a shaft down twelve feet, but he has a
well defined eighteen inch streak of
ore that in some parts is twenty-five
per cent silver. This mine is situated
in the Barker district.
Are the women of Detroit hard
hearted above those of other cities?
There have been recently begun in

bands who allege that their wives are

who alleges that Mrs. Leach has fire.
quently Threatened his life, and other
wise made his home unhappy; the
other husband is the Rev. Edgar l..
pastor of a hourishing and
Universalist church, who
also charges his wife with cruelty.
Here are two cases in high life. Let
hope that there are no more like
them, or the city of Detroit will be
summed by husbands who desire
peace and domestic safety.
The Penn's Grove record., 1882-02-11

Ella and Mr.. Leigh were at an upper
window, looking through closed
blinds at the scene. Gerald Cooper
with face darkened by frowrs, stood
leaning on the fence, ready TO make
bids for what he had calculated tc
possess more easily.
1t seemed to Ella that she must be
in a dream as the bidding grew more
animated. Could that old claw-legged
table actually be worth fifty dollars Z
Was the man who gave tive hundred
dollars fer the carved black oak side
board a maniac? Had she actually
heard a bid Of one hundred dollars
made for the high-post bed that
nearly filled the cottage bedroom?
Mr.. Leigh chuckled and rubbed his
hands; Gerald Cooper fumed and
fretted; and Elias eyes grew large
and bright as great possibility shaped
itself to a certainty.
The partnership!
Already she could count upon her
fingers than double the sun re-
quired. She could go back to Creyton
and give Harry the five hundred dol
lars twice told. 1t was too good to be
true. She must be dreaming.
She told MI. Leigh about the part
nership, a. they watched the crowd
stream away in the direction Of the
railway station, ard received his
hearty approval and congratulation.
~ will see what 1t realized" he
said. 81 stipulated for a ready money
sale. You CAD get away this after
noon, Ella, If you wish"
And Ella did get away, carrying
with her twelve hundred dollars, the
result of Mr.. Leigh's advertising.
"All expenses are paid, and this is
your legacy" the kind old gentleman
said to Ella. "Mr. Cooper ha two
tables, three chairs and a cabinet, that
cost him double what he offered you
for the entire lot"
And Ella did not give one sigh of
regret over the fact that she had not
one piece of that 'beautiful old furni-
ture" when she put the money into
Harry's hands, and told him the story
of her legacy.
But Mrs. Gerald Cooper heartily
echoed her husbands words of vitu
peration lavished on Mr.. Leigh, when
he wound up his story by saying:
"Ella knew nothing about old fur
niture. But for that old lawyers In
reference I could have bought the
entire lot for a hundred dollars, and
Elias lifelong gratitude for my gen.
crosby"
ITS just Ella Bowen's luck" Mrs.
Gerald said spitefully. III had any
idea that your grandmother would
make a will, I'd have gone TO Magno-
lila and nurssd her myself"

A Wandering Jew.
Universal Spread Of the Pathetic Legend.


There are some legends so uni
versally spread through the popular
folklore of various countries, that
n naturally looks for their origin in
something more than arbitrary inven-
ton of local superstition. To this
class belongs the legend Of the Wan
dering Jew-that is, of an eyewitness
of the Crucifixion Of our Lord, o N
demned, for having insulted the
Saviour, to a joyless immortality and
a perpetual wandering over the face of
the earth.
AS early as the middle Of the thir-
tenth century the chronicle of Mat
thew Paris relates a story of an Arme
MAN bishop who visited England in
the year 1928, and being "iuterview-
ed" by some monkish clerks, gave SIS
| sensational and circumstantial answers
to the questions put to him as could lie
desired. He had seen the remains OF
Noah's Ark, preserved upon Mount
Ararat, and he had himself dined with
| the famous Joseph, said to have been
| preserved from the time of the Cruel
| fixion Of Christ, as a witness of that
| event.
The story Of the wonderful Jew, as
| related in the genial a~fter-dinner
hours, when story tellers are effusive
and listeners more c%redulous, was told
by his host as follows: His name was
| Cartaphilus, and he was Pilates door
keeper at the time of the trial. AS
| Jesus was being led from the tribunal,
the doorkeeper struck him a blow
upon the neck and said: $50 on faster;
why dost thou linger :" Jesus turned
and answered 81 go, but thou shalt
tarry until l come"
Since that hour Cartaphilus has
been waiting, and although he long
ago ackno wledged the errors Of his
ways and was baptized in the name OF
Joseph by A~nanias-an unfortunate
coincidence of names, though the per-
sonags who baptized st. Paul, aud
not the historical perverter of the
truth, is meant-the curse has never
been removed, and the unfortunate
man is still upon his travels.
He has been repeatedly interviewed
since his tete ,tete dinner with the
Armenian bishop, though he seems
later to have given a rather different
account of himself, asserting that his
name was Ahasuerus, and that he
was by trade a cobbler while he sup
pressed the incident OF the blow.
When asked about the events of that
remote period, he, rs is expected of all
good centenarians, shows that his
memory is unimraired, by giving ex-
act accounts of all that he saw and
heard, including a true and detailed
account of the Temple at Jerusalem.
1t ia a pity that those VINO have pre-
served the records Of these interviews
were not more precise In taking down
his descriptions, as it would have
saved much cost in exploration and
much heart-burning and antagonism
among archmologists, could the exact
position of Herod's Temple be ascer
tanned from the mouth of one who
had actually seen it. AS 1t is, the
question of the site OF the altar Of
burnt offerings rivals the large end and
little end of the egg controversy with
which Gullivsr has made US familiar,

Cholera in Mecca.

kilograms from Jeddah to Alexan-
dria mention that cholera in Mecca is
on the increase, and in three successive
days the mortality from that disease
amounted to nearly five hundred
persons.
The crowds OF pilgrims continually
pouring into the hottest city of Islam
from all parts Of the Mohammedan
world are continually generating dis
ease of some kind. Water In and
around Mecca is grossly impure
through filthy upper soil percolation
and such a thing as sanitation car
hardly be said to exist, miniature
mountains of rubbish and garbage
being allowed to gather in the thor
oughfares and tester in the narrow,
tortuous streets until the suns rays
have desiccated them or parish dogs
devoured them.
It Is therefore no wonder that pesti-
lence In one shape or another is con-
tinually lowering in the vicinity of
the Kaaba or Mohammed's sacred
black stone, averred by many Mussul-
man enthusiastic to be the stone upon
which Jacob dreamed his dream about
the ascent and descent of angels on
the ladder that reached from earth to
Heaven.

All that is known for certain about
cholera Is that it possesses marvellous
powers Of qualification and spreading.
Not much more than a century ago II

The Importance of this last Meccs

The total number of marine disasters
on the Northern lakes in 1881 of u
prominent character will not vary far
from 1852, an increase of 81 ove 1880.
None have been included below the
sum of 500. The total loss on bulls
and cargoes at a close estimate amounts
TO 81, 019, 800. Forty seven craft have
passed out of time, steam and sail, and
IS new have been commissioned. The
lost craft embrace 10, 1856 tons, which is
9,94S less than last year; valuation
1864, 900. The new craft embrace "a, 72S
tons, an increase over 1880 of 1904
tons; valuation, $500, $40. The number
of deaths from all causes is 500, one
less than last year. In this list Is In
cluded 212 lives by the loss of the Vic
toria, near London, Ont, and taking
in this number, the total is about the
same as in 1880.
The total number OF lives lost upon

The Abolition of Petticoats.

1t would appear that the doctrines
of woman's emancipation from the
trammels of feminine dress, pren-.
gated with considerable vigor by
strong-minded ladies in the United
States, have recently been enthusiast
tically adopted by an association OF
German matrons and maidens, which
under the significant title Of Cloth
ing League for the Abolition of Petit
coats" recently held its first meeting
in a concert room of the Brunnestrasse,
Berlin.
A chairwoman having been duly
elected, the proceedings were opened
by an eloquent speech setting forth
the inconvenience and disadvan-
tages, from a sanitary point of view,
of the flowing garments hitherto
deemed appropriate wear for civilized
females. This discourse pronounced
it to be a sacred duty of every member
OF the association to discard with the
utmost pronptitude such objectiona-
BILE raiment, typical of all the disabili
ties w~rongfully ascribed to woman by
her oppressor-man-and TO assume
in its stead "a dualistic covering for
the legs, as we'll as for the arms"
This daring programme Of action
was hailed with acclamations Of ap-
prevail by all save one, a Frau Peters,
who courageously stood up for the de-
nounced petticoat, upon the ground
that it was far more becoming than
trousers TO members of the female sex.
Her protesting voice, however, was
drowned in a storm of indignant
clamor, and a resolution embodying
the sentiments previously enuncisted
endorsed by an overwhelming major
ity of the fair leaguers.
