session is neither possible nor desirable in
this world, love is never satisfied and jeal-
Gus always possible.
When a person tells you he is not jealous
he either confesses that he loves nothing or
else he lies. A discreet jealousy is to love
what a blower is to a fire. A mere spark of
affection may be easily famed into q glowing
flame by a judicious jealousy.
L have no recollection of a time when |
was not jealous. l hope l may never sink
into that anandrous apathy, into that as
phyxiating anesthesia, into which I shall
cease to be it. Often, too, 1 will confess it,
L have allowed the process of combustion to
go on until my peace of mind was gone, until
hate and despair chased each other through
the cavities of my heart, until all the world
turned yellow, and that horrible sickness of
soul, which no words can describe, passed
upon me. Oh, how 1 Rugged my misery and
barred my breast to the blood-oozing lips of
that vellicative vampire.
Othello teaches US the importance of main
tanning an uncondensed jealousy. If you
find this passion getting the better of you,
think of the lost wealth of Roderigo; think
OF the dead Cassie lying in the lonely street;
think of that pale form, with a sweet odor of
youth still upon it, ~lifeless, yet beautiful, on
the bedi think of that rough and swarthy
corpse upon the floor.

III OPIUM DENS,
How Young Girls Are Enticed Into These
Places, and What Follows.
NA.r vi -
New York Herald.

New York Herald.
The facts ascertained about the modus
operandi by which scores Upon scores of
girls have been lured to physical and moral
ruin are startling in the extreme. In one
den in Pell street, which is conducted by a
bag of the most depraved type, there have
been girls OF from ten to twenty years of age
ruined. In a murky back room, up a still
murkier fight of stairs, is the den, while the
front room serves as a sort of parlor. Here
1t is that little girls are induced to first taste
the fell drug which is intended to pave the
way to worse sin. The victim is coaxed up
stairs by some one who knows her, and once
IN among the haggard, slatternly young crea-
lures who have already been wrecked, they
are induced to try a pipe of opium. The de-
nights OF the trance are described, and the
girl tries out of curiosity. Her first few
pipes are smoked in a c~eremonious way,
with everyone looking on and urging. Then
ayoung Chinaman, who knows how to roll
the opium and fix the pipe, is introduced as
a companion. AS soon as the girl has be-
come addicted to the opium habit her ruin is
easily accomplished. And thus it is that the
mournful wrecks of g~irlhood sit in the dark
ened room in Pell streetand waste away their
young lives, helpless victims of the Chinese
denkeepers and their customers.
School Trustee Patrick H. Mcdonald said
that his residence was opposite to No. II Pell
street, and that he knew personally many of
the little girls who smoked opium in the
Chinese dens. Why" said he, 81 have only
to look out of my windows and into the
windows of the houses across the street to see
sights that are actually blood cu%rdling.
These Chinese dens are the most dangerous
places for young girls in the city, and the
system which they employ in decoying vic
tins is astonishing in its evil results. lam a
father myself, and | would not make charges
lightly, but one-half of the terrible iniquity
of Chinatown has not been exposed"

London Letter.
Sir Michael Bass, the great brewer, is now
very seldom seen in his seat in the House of
Commons, and it is wondered whether or no
he will put in an appearance to vote against
local option in the matter OF licensing the
sale of alcoholic liquors. The baronetcy was
conferred upon him as a kind of compensa-
ton for the loss he would sustain ESTIMATED
at $40, 900 per annum) from the transfer of
tax on malt to beer. Although the Prince Of
Brewers is not often seen in public now, the
memory of his many charities abides. The
profits on the manufacture of the national
beverage must be Sir Michael
filings money about as if it were dirt.
In addition to supporting every charitable
and beneficial work IN Derby and his own
neighborhood, he has presented to the town
public baths, a recreation ground, and a
splendid free library, at a total cost of nearly
ESQ, 900. Burton has also benefited by his
liberality. To this town he has given two
churches, with parsonage, schools, and en-
dowments, costing upward of go 200; also,
an institute and club worth about GAO, 900.
To Rangemore he has also given a church,
schools, and parsonage, at an expense of
about 913, 900. Great is the power of beer
and whisky. A brewer restored at his own
expense st. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin; a
distiller restored Christ Church and erected
the Irish Church Synod Hall, while a wine
merchant erected the chief Presbyterian
church in the same city.

Careful Investigation Required.
New York Times.

Curiously enough, no one appears to have
discovered the Mott-street infamies except
certain p~hilanthropists of Irish nationality,
and these nave only made the discovery
within a few days. Even the parents of the
''one hundred or more little girls who have
been made moral and physical wrecks by
means of opium do not seem to have sus-
pected that anything was the matter with
their children. Although we are told that
the scenes of infamy in Mott street are per-
petrated openly and in broad daylight, the
police have apparently been ignorant of
them. 1t has been left for two or three ener-
getic Irishmen to discover the horrible prac-
tees of the Cinnamon, and as they have
also discovered what nobody has yet suspect
ed, that every Chinaman carries a knife or
revolver and uses it upon the slightest pro-
vocation, we are indebted to them for our
first knowledge of the desperate and blood
thirsty nature of the savage Chinaman. The
police authorities ought to inc out the truth
of the charges made against the Cinnamon
without delay; otherwise we may witness an
outburst of mob violence against them on
the part of the ignorant Irish which will be
as disgraceful to us as were the outrages COM
mitted upon alleged disseminators of the
plague in Milan during the middle ages to
the ignorant Milanese.

GENEROUS BUT ECCENTRIC.
How james Gordon Bennett Treats His Em-
ployes.
New York Letter.

New York Letter.
The Herald employe strikes a very good
thing when he has the luck 10 get into the
good graces OF the proprietor of that paper.
Mr.. Flynn, the managing editor, was a re-
porter on the Herald a few years ago. One
day Mr.. Bennett saw a in his columns a news
report of a matter in which he was ~particu-
larly interested. The report pleased him
very much, and he inquired who wrote it.
Flynn was the young mans name, and Flynn
at once received a present of a gold watch
and chain, 800 in cash, and a leave of alb
sence for six weeks on full pay. A while,
afterward he was made managing editor of
the Telegram, and after two years good serv-
ice there he was promoted to the managing
editorship of the Herald. There are proba-
bly, twenty superannuated employees of the
Herald whose declining years are comforted
by liberal pensions from the Office, and some
of them draw full pay. Bennett subscribed
$10,0 900 to the benefit fund for his printers.
The fund is large enough to permit the pay
ment of $500 to the heirs of a Herald printer
when he dies, and when he is sick he receives
a weekly allowance. A few years ago the
autocrat of the Herald sent one of his city
editors On a six months trip to South Ameri-
ca in pursuit of health, and paid all the ex-
penses. He came back q we'll man, but fell
from grace soon after and was discharged.
Bennett is impulsive but not sympathetic in
his liberality to his men, Last year, while
strolling around his composing-room one
night, a type-setter seventy years of age at
tracted his attention. He called the old man.
to him., made a memorandum of his name,
and remarked; "Pll have to get you some
thing easier to do" OF course the old man
was very much elated, but he has had plenty
of time to subdue his spirits, as he has
never heard OF the matter since.

Wooden Pavement in Paris.

Lucy Hoopers Letter.
The Champs Elysees are to be made more
delightful than ever to drive upon. The new
wood pavement, which extended only half
the length of the avenue, has nobly stood
the test of the wear and tear of an entire
winter, and so it is to be laid clear up to the
Arc de Triomphe. This new pavement has
been put down by an English company, the
process being an English invention. 1t diff
fers very much from the American pave
ments of that kind. and must cost horribly
to put down, but it's endurance is now be-
You'd a doubt, having been fully tested in
London, where it has been in use on the
Strand, the most thronged of the larger
London t~horoughfares, for over four
years. The process of putting it
down is as follows: The ground is at
first excavated to abouta foot in depth, the
earth thus removed being carried away. A
layer of stones broken to about the size of
walnuts, and mixed with cement, is then
laid down.. On thisa second coat of cement,
about an inch in thickness, is carefully
spread. The blocks, which are previously
prepared by being saturated with some
%resinous compound into which tar APP
p~arently enters largely, are set upon this
cement; they are six inches thick by a foot
in length and three and a half inches in
breadth. A space is left between each block,
and after they are laid a thick preparation of
tar is poured over them, followed by a
second application, this last being of fine
gravel, Finally, the interstices are filled
witt cement, and the process is at an end.
The roadway when finished is only slightly
c~oncave, the rise in the center not being
Yery great.

A Rattlesnake with Two Legs.


EdUT HWVHTU DVU.
In a letter from GAINESVILLE, Judge Tong
relates the following, told to him by one
who never told a lie" and whose v~eracity is
undoubted in this city, where he has ac-
quaintances; James T. Miller, a good, re-
liable citizen, who says he has several eye
witnesses to prove the truth OF his statement,
tells ne that he has killed a most remarkable
rattlesnake. On March 10Th, while going
from Deer Valley to his home on the Sweet
water, he trod on the tail of a snake. He
was not trying to get up a fight either. How
ever, the reptile accepted the challenge, and
delivered heavy blow on the leg of his enc
my. The thickness of boot leather saved the
friends OF Miller the trouble OF attending a
funeral. Miller then killed the snake, and
upon examination found that it had two legs
about six inches from the end Of the tail.
were of an oblong shape, each with six toes. "

A Novel Combat.
Iowa State Register.

Iowa State Register.
On Sunday the reporter was invited to wit
ness a peculiar combat between a huge cater
pillar and a small spider. The caterpillar,
III its early spring perambulating, had an
tagonized the spider by encroaching upon its
territory, and as a consequence it became
fast to the spiders silken web. On discover
ing this the spider set to work and complete
ly bound the caterpillar to the board by COW
ering it with additional webs until it could
not move. When the reporter was called TO
witness the combat the spider was busily en-
gagged in trying to murder its fuzzy foe. But
the caterpillar's fuz saved its life, as the spi-
der could not bite it's body, because it could
not get its mouth down to the flesh.
Through a magnifying glass the caterpillar
seemed g helpless victim, and its ugly head
was drawn back into its fuz like a turtles
head unde its shell, and it seemed in mortal
terror as it squirmed in vain to free itself.
The spider was running lengthwise over its
foes back, and probably feeling sorry that it
didn't have a spear or revolver; but at all
events the caterpillar was eternally caught
and must starve to death, even if it could not
be killed. This being the situation, the gen.
tleman at length took a toothpick and
touched the caterpillar, causing it to strug-
gle desperately, while she spider fed to its
parlor in a crack near by, and did not show
itself again. The caterpillar was released
from its environment by the toothpick
splinter, and not stopping to play "possum,"
as is usual with its ilk, made tracks for cater
pillarville, or some other safe retreat, where
spiders are unknown and do not so deity
entrap Bohemian crawlers.

A Curious Canyon.


Mr.. J. P. Farris, who has been travelling
for some months in Arizona, tells of a GU
rious canyon situated near Holbrook. A
small stream called Silver creek empties into
the Little Colorado about ten miles south of
Holbrook. The stream runs in a southeast
erly direction. After travelling up it a short
distance he found it inclosed by p~erpendicu-
lar walls nearly fifty feet in height. He fol-
lowed the stream a distance of nearly thirty
five miles, and at no place could he find a
place where he could get down to the water.
The walls were straight, and formed a regu-
lar box canyon, the distance from the water
to the top varying from forty-ive to seventy
stream was covered with fine grass, and in
places with stunted cedar. He found in sew
eral places broken pottery, but no ruins or
other signs of former habitation by the In
dians. The distance from Holbrook is short.
He thinks tourists woul be we'll repaid for
their trouble in visiting thisn natural curl
osity.

NOT TO BE CLASSIFIED.
Very Mean Men.

1t is chronicled of the Duke Of Marlbor-
ough, that when in the last stage of life and
very lnfirm, he would walk from the public
room in Bath to his lodgings on a cold, dark
night to save Cd in chair fair. He died
worth 81, SOC, 900.
1t is recorded Of a Sir James Lowther that,
after changing a piece of silver in Georges
coneeshouse and paying Cd for his dish OF
co1ee, he was helped into his chariot (he was
very lame and infirm) and went home. Some
Tune after he went to the same coffee-hOuse
on purpose to acquaint the woman who kept
IL that she had given him a bad halfpenny.
and demanded another in exchange for it.
SIR James is stated to have then had about
44O,OO0 per. annum coming in, and. was at a
loss whom to appoint his heir.
Sir Thomas Colby, an official high IN
othce, shortened his existence by his passion
ior TINS worlds goods, as appears by the fol-
lowing anecdote: H rose in the middle of
the night, when he was in a very profuse
persplration, and walked down stairs to look
Tor the key OF his cellar, which he had mad
Vertently left on a table in tine parlor; he
was apprehensive that his servants might
seize the key and rob him of a bottle of port
wine, instead of which he himself was seized
with a chill and died intestate, leaving 600
OoO in the funds, which was shared by five
or SIX day laborers, who were his next of
KIN" Marvellous good luck for his poor re-
~lations.
or William Smyth, of Bedfordshire, when
nearly seventy years of age, was wholly de-
prived of sight; he was persuaded to be
couched by a celebrated oculist, who,
by agreement, was to have sixty
guineas if he restored his patient
to any degree of sight. The
oculist succeeded in his operation, and Sir
William was able to read and write, without
the use of spectacles, during the rest of his
life; but as soon as Sir William perceived
the good effects of the o~culist's skill, instead
OF being overjoyed, as any other grateful per-
son would have been, he began to lament the
loss las he called it) of his 60 guineas. His
contrlyance, therefore, now was how to cheat
the oculist. He pretended that he had only
a glimmering, and could see nothing per-
fectly, For that reason the bandage on his
eyes was continued a month longer than the
usual time, By this means he obliged the
oculist to compound the bargain, and accept
OF 20 g%uineas.
A coyetous man thinks no artifce too
mean which he may legally practice to save
his money. This misery knight was an old
bachlor, and at the time the oculist couched
him is reported to have had a fair estate, a
large sum of money in the stocks, and not
less than $4,000 in his house!
