Robert Stuart died deeply penitent
for his crime. : When his dream of am
bition had faded away, and he found
that his treachery had conducted him to
murderer's cell instead of placing him
on Kings throne, his conscience
awoke, and he bitterly regretted the
fearful deed that had brought upon him
SO terrible punishment.
He wrote to Ida, telling her of his
penitence and remorse, and beseeching
her to forgive him.
Poor Lady Ida the shock of finding
that he she loved was capable of so fearful
crime added to her anxiety lest he
should be captured; and her agony at
his dreadful death was more than she
could bear. She did not long survive

A Panther Fight-.-The Lively Times
They Have Out in Oregon.

Oregon is the scene of panther
Staying episode, which, as related by
the Butler Greek Enterprise, is
enough to make Fiction blush over the
audacity of Truth. A settler living
near SCOTS Mills set out to haul some
cedar timber, being accompanied by
children, little rat-terrier, New
foundland dog, and large bore rifle.
After leaving the main road panther
crossed the path and was quickly freed
by the dogs. Obtaining rest-aim, he
shot the beast dead. When lie re-
turned to the wagon the children
pointed out another panther behind
them in the path by which they had
come. This one was freed and shot in
the same manner, but sprang from the
tree and ran hundred yards before it
fell. Proceeding some distance fur
Their, the little dog freed o panther
two thirds grown. No. 8 was shot
dead. Before he had time to reload
he heard the big dog barking at
something about 200 yards off. On
going there he saw the biggest pam
ther he had ever seen-a very large
female. She was growing and snap
ping her teeth at the dogs. 1t was
difficult to get good shot, but on
firingsshe came down and ran off, the
dogs following. She was next found
OH stump about twenty-five feet
from the ground. He shot again, but
no vital part was struck. On looking
for q bullet, he found that he had>only
halfa bullet left with which to make
a successful shot or lose his game. His
patching was all gone as well, SO he
tore off part of the lining of his coat.
Taking careful aim, he fired. The
beast tumbled to the ground, and was
selzcd by the dogs. She had sue

Upon the weary shoulders of this dis
appointed and perplexed potentate
the burden of responsibility attached
to his exalted position has for many
months past exercised an all but in
tolerable pressure. Shortly after the
attempt made upon his life by Solo
vieff, the Cars earnest wish to resign
his sceptre to the hands of his natural
successor was successfully combated
by his near relatives. The terror and
anxiety he has experienced since he
reluctantly consented to forego that
wish are, however, understood to have
produced SO depressing an effect upon
his health and spirits that, under the
additional excuse Of his recent be-
reavement, he is about to recur to his
temporarily frustrated resolve. His
grief for the lost companion of his
life and mother of his children would
be accepted by his people as a better
reason than dread of assassination to
incapacitate him from attention to
state affairs. In his retreat ut Lavidi,
he enjoys some peace and safety,
though the most elaborate precautions
for his safety are taken even there, and
it appears extremely improbable that
he will again forsake that pleasant

Literary DanIIYiSlll.

A Young man is never more certain or
social success than the moment when
most other young men never mention
,him without saying that they would
like to kick him." AS Thackeray OBJ
served in the case of Pendennis, that
desire is the result Of envy, and OF con-
scious humiliation awakened on manly
bosoms. TO provoke people so much
is token Of superiority, and prize
of nonchalance. Nor is it social dan
dyism alone which thus irritates the
rabble of decent fellows who have
neither the vanity nor the impndcnce,
nor the strength of resolution to win
distinction. Literary dandyism is all
SO excessively annoying to the rugged
hodmen of letters, the rapid pic
turesque writers, the half or quarter
educated persons who crowd the press
and carry their farfago of ill-sorted
observations to an uncritical public.
These Industrious persons detest the
literary dandy, the man who minds
his periods, and regards the cadence OF
his sentences, and shuns stock illustra-
lions of quotations, as the social dandy

They howl at him as the little numer-
GUS street boys bully some small Eton-
ian with tall hat and broad white
collar, who has lost himself in Seven
Dials. This anTagonism naturally
breeds more excess in literary dandy
ism, till the prose of some critics is as
full of musk and millefleurS as the
handkerchief Of q popular preacher.
Both parties are hardened. i'll their
ways; the rough and ready pressman
becomes careless even of grammar, and
trots out his quotations from Macau-
ley's essays more vigorously than of
old. The prose of the exquisite begins
to die away in aromatic nonsense, and
his great genius tires itself TO death in
the hunting for rare exotic adjectives:
This picture from an British stand
point shines brightly also OH this side
of tho Atlantic and can be accurately
applied to American gentlemen OF
literary disposition and miscellaneous
ability.

WHEN TT RAINS.
by JANIS W. RILEY.


When it rains, and with the rain
Never bird has heart to sing,
And across the window pane
Is no sunlight glimmering;
When a pitiiess refrain
Beings tremor to ,he lips,
Our tears are like the rain
AS il drips, drips, drips-
Like the sad unceasulg rain as It drips.
When the light of heavens blue
Is blurred and blotted quite,
And the dreary day to you
Is but long twilight;
When il seems that ne er again
Shall the sun break its eclipse,
Our tears are like the rain
As it drips, dripS, drips-
Like the endless, frie ndless rain as It drips.
When it rains! weary heart,
Oh, be of better cheer
The lead en- clouds will part
And the morrow Will be clear.
Take up your load again,
With prayer upon your lips,
Thanking heaven for the rain,
As it drips, drips, drips -
With the golden bow of promise az it drips.

They Immediately returned to the
apartment where the Queen and her Ia
dies had passed the time of their alb
sence in the most agonizing anxiety and
suspense, and, tearing up the plank,
beheld the unfortunate monarch stand
ing below.
A demoniac yell burst from the con-
spirators at the sight. and two of the
rufians sprang down and threw them
selves upon him.
James was unarmed, but, wrenching
dagger from one of his assailants, he
dealt him blow that laid him dead at
his feet, and then, turning to the other
assassin, he defended himself calamity
aaainst him, when Grahame descended
and stabbed him.
Weakened by loss of blood, unable to
make any further resistance, the King
sank on the floor of the vault. calling
on his enemy to have mercy on him.
"Thou never hadst mercy on those of
thine own blood, or any one else, there
fore thou shalt find no mercy here" re-
piled Grahame, plunging his sword into
the body of his sovereign.
The vault was now filed with con-
spirators, and the unhappy Queen,
throwing herself on the senseless form
of her husband, sought to shield him
from the blows with which his brutal
enemies gratiied their hatred by infict-
ing. It was not until she had been
twice wounded, and now become insensi-
BILE from terror, pain and distress, that
she could be removed from the body.
The approach of the guard alarmed
the conspirators, who sought safety IL
fight; but Grahame had fulfilled his
oath the King was dead
The horrible deed excited the utmost
indignation against its perpetrators
among all classes in Scotland.
The King had been blamed by many,
although without cause, for being I'M
necessarily strict and severe in the adj
ministration of justice, but his dreadful
death caused all his faults to be forgot
ten.
So universal was the popular feeling
against the conspirators, and so unceas-
ing and energetic were the efforts made

While yet His voice In thunders rise,
We know He'll watch while angels sleep.

He knows our thoughts; before our mind
Had scarcely formed them, they arc His

It is plain that the great 'divided skirt 'ques-

tee of specialists, sitting with closed doors.
Without being prudsh, 1T is possible to feel that
the combatants are going into physiological de-
tails to an extent hardly compatible with jour-
nalistic discussion. What may be the verdict of
the experts we do not pretend to say, but to
Judge from an article In the Lancet the 're-
formers are not likely to have the doctors on
their side. ''If women" says the medical
journal. please to unsex themselves in dress as
in habits of life and silly exploits of possible,

energy, they may be left to compass their dis
comfture without more than an ordinary warn
ing; but when they appeal to the canons of
health In support or defense of their vagaries it
is necessary to show the appeal is inadmssible
But while deprecating the ''divided SKIRT" the
Lancet Is all for the disuse Of corsets and the
excessive weight Of the clothing worn by
women On the latter point, at any rate, all
