At Bow street to-day, Ada MEME Sem
priere, alias Nina Jury, was charged be-
fore Mr.. Vaughn with being a convict on
license who failed to notify change of
address as required by the act. The pris-
oner was witness in the great Tichborne
case, and on the Goth day of May, 1876,
she was convicted of larceny from dwell,
ing house and sentenced to seven years
penal servitude. She was discharged in
February, 1881, and duly reported herself
as living at an address in Streatham. She
subsequently notified a change of address,
and should have reported herself on the
oath of May, at Old street station. 1t
now transpires that about three
weeks or a month ago, the prisoner went
to a woman named O'Grear, living in
Fountain court, and represented herself as
her aunt. She stayed there until yesterday:
(THesday), partly as a friend and partly as
a lodser, although Mrs. OGrear declared
that She knew nothing OF her. Prisoner
was arrested by Detective Gregory on the
present charge. Detective Sergeant Reader
how stated that the prisoner had been
traced from place to place for some months
in consequence of numerous complaints
that had been received by the Charity Or
ganization society regarding the prisoner
1t appears that she had obtained various
sums of money from different noblemer
and gentlemen, by means of what was de-
seribed by Mr.. Vaughan as being the most
fragrant Misrepresentation made by a
rank impostor, who had succeeded in living
upon charity for considerable time past
One of her victims was the Duke of Ed
inburgh, from whom she obtained e15 ON
the representation that she was known TO
his royal highness at Adelaide in the year
1867 as Miss Gordon, daughter of Colone
Gordon, and niece of Sir Dominic Daley,
governor of Adelaide. She states that she
had afterwards married a man named
Sempriere. II appeared that the earl OF
Kilmorey had recommended the prisoner
case to the duke of Edinburgh, after an in

Fgc0giug at The Cores Tait

1t was common in Skipton 60 years
ago, and even later, for men convicted of
such offenses as sheep-stealing very com
mon then) to be fiogged at the Gross and
at the cart tail. It was customary for the
unfortunate one to be dragged the whole
length of the main street and back. a
nonagenarian told me once that he remem-
bered man being logged in this way at
SkiptOn until he bled like stuck sheep"
The whipping of Migrants was a very COM
mon punishment here. About $50 years
ago, learn from transcripts of the West
Riding Session rolls, the magistrates as
sembled in Quarter Sessions ordered that
"a bedle shall be appointed by the consta-
BILE of Skipton for the whipping and pun
ishing of such rouges and vagabonds as
shall come into that place." and that his
remuneration should be 81 IS. Sd. yearly.
The infection of this punishment for an
other offense is thus recorded in the ae-
count book of one of the stewards of Skip

Colorado, which has been but a little
over one year in existence, is the most
prosperous and growing town west of
Fort Worth. It has two national banks and
bids fair to be the largest town in that sec
tien of the state. Its receipts of wool
dNring the past year were 10000 pounds
and its cattle shipments $4,000 head.
Abilene, which, perhaps, is the largest
wool-shipping point, received 100000
pounds of wool and shipped 691 ears of
cattle. The receipts of wool at this town
the present spring are estimated at 3OOO,-
600 pounds. The acreage in cuItiYation in
twenty-five counties contiguous to the
Texas and Pacific railroad west of the town
of Weatherford was 99,634 acres in 1880.
At tbs close of the year 1882, by careful
estimate, this average was increased to
100000 acres. The valuations ia these
counties for the purposes of taxation were
in 1880 $11 ,038, Ala, and in 1881 we're S15,-
O42,614, and proportionate increase was
maintained in 1882. II Taylor and Fisher
counties the valuation for the year 1882
exceeded the valuations for 1881 by 200
per cent, and in Nolan county over $50
per cent. The growth during the past
year Of the cattle and sheep interest in
this section of the country has been simply
immense. Sheep in vast Numbers have
been driven into these counties from
southern Texas, Mexico, New Mexico and
California. Texas can afford to claim
that she is the empire of the southwest
She will net $13, 100000 from the increase
of her sheep farms alone this year, to say
nothing of her immense cattle and agrl-
cultural interests.

tsrview with the prisoner, when she con-
WINGED his lordship that she was Mrs. Sem
priere, nee Miss Gordon, and alluded to
many things relating to the royal visit to
Adelaide in 1866, and spoke so unreserved-
Iy of the late Sir Dominic and Lady Daley,
their family, establishments, etc, Lord
Kilmorey had expressed an opinion that
no imposter could have been so convers-
ant with the facts alluded to. It.
however, transpired, upon a subsequent
inquiry at the agent-gererars Office,
that the prisoner was well-known i'm
poster and that, so far from being the
niece of Sir Dominic Daley, she was only
the widow of the head warden of the cen
yict prison at Adelaide, and had been In
England for years. She had represented
that her second husband, Sempriere, was
clerk in a government Office, but no one of
that name was known at Government
house. In addition to the above misrepre-
sensations it appeared, from the volumi-
nous correspondence submitted to the
magistrate for his perRsal, that the pris
oner had represented that she had arrived
from Australia at Alexandria on the 18th of
June last, accompanied By her husband
and son. She stated that they were On
their way to England to place their son in
business, but that on the 18th of juno Mr..
Sempriere and her son crossed the Square
in Alexandria from their lodgings and
we're killed by Arabs.

"Stop thar, parson," said the groom

"These 'uns." shouted the groom
drawing his pistol.
The parson, seeing the movement,
fired through his surpliee and the
groom dropped dead, winging the par
son as he went down. There was a
lively fusilade of perhaps 80 shots.
When the smoke cleared away half
dozen men were Oh the floor. The

Clay wanted for his Kentucky stock farm.
All his offers were rejected, until one day
the commodore said, ''You can have him
for your lot opposite the White house."
Done" was Clay's reply, and the animal
was shipped off to Kentucky. The COM

Tie Glenn Newspaper.
LPniladelphia Printers' Circular.

There is growing feeling in healthy
communities, against journals that make
it their special object to minister to per-
verted taste by seeking out and serving up
in a seductive form disgusting and licen-
tioGs revelations. There is good reason
to believe that the clean newspaper is
more highly priced to-day than it was four
Or five years ago. 1t is also safe to pre-
dict that, IS people in all ranks of life
who protect their Own, at least, from coll
tamiration, become more conscious of the
pernicious influence of certain class OF
Journals, called enterprisiRg because they
are ambitious to serve up dirty scandals
they will be careful to see that the journals
they permit to be read in the family circle
are the class that never forget the proprie-
ties of life. Already men and women of
refinement and healthy morals have ,hGd
their attention called to the
pernieious influence of bad litera-
ture and have made cOmmendable
efforts to counteract the same by causing
sound literature TO be published and sold
at popular prices. These efforts are work
ing a silent but sure revelation. The best
authors are more generally read to-day
than at any previous day. The sickly
sentimental story paper and the wild rang.
er and pirate story books are slowly bu-
surely yielding the field to worthier claim
ants. In praise of the decent newspaper
it may be said that where it has place in
the family and has been read for years BY
young as we'll as old, it has developed such
healthy tone and such discriminating
taste that the life nature of the slams has
40 admirers. Fortunately, the number OF
such families is increasing in the land and
as they increase the journal that devotes
itself to sickening revelations of immoral
ity will be compelled to find its supporters
solely among those classes who practice
vice and crime, or are ambitious to Learn
to follow such ways.

A Snow Storm III Wales.

In Wales, during snow storm which
covered Great Britain, train was lost
and was sought for by bodies Of men on
horseback. Finally the top of it was
discovered protruding through a snow
drift sixteen feet deep. The imprisoned
passengers had suffered from hunger
and cold in the unkeated cars for eight
cen hours. 1t took a day and q kalf to
dig out the train. The passengers sllf-
fered fearfully from the exposure. The
lack of appliances for clearing the
roads involves an extraordinary ex-
pense, of which some idea may be con-
veyed by the fact that to reach one
train it was necessary to shovel away
snow from six to eighteen feet deep for
distance of over five miles. In spite
of experience the English railway au-
thorities seem to leave Snow storms out
of their calculations. A snow storm ap-
pears to strike the ordinary English
man at home as something not to be
resisted or handled by anything less
primitive than broom or hand-shoveI.

Some idea of the rapidity with which
northwestern Texas is being settled can
be gathered from the following statement
of the growth of the towns on the Texas

fore the advent of the railroad one year
ago there were but one or two towns in
that district of country, and they were
mere hamlets. Since then the towns of
Gordon, Cisco, Baird, Abilene, Sweetwa-
ter, Colorado and Big Springs have sprung
into existence. Several OF these are now
large and important towns, and all of
them growing rapidly. The population
and sales of merchandise are given as fol-
lows:

Il Smart Little Miss.

On Wednesday last her mother sent her
with kerosene can to obtain oil at the
corner grocery. On the way she met one
of her boy playmates and asked him if he
did not want to GO to the matinee, and the
response was a prompt Eyes" "Come
along, then" said she. The two went to
one of the theatres and she bought two
front seat tickets, rendering in payment
S. bill. The little girl dragged the
oil can, her escort evidently lack
ing chivalric courtesy. They enjoyed
the performance greatly. After
1t was over the girl, carrying the can, led
the way to Tilliaghast's saloon, where she
ordered lee cream and two chickens. The
attendant tried TO persuade the child that
one chicken was sufficient, but she was firm
in demanding two, saying: 'We want
enough to eat" A chicken was furnished
each. The girl demolished hers and the
;ce-cream, but the boy stopped at the
ehiekep. The Young Riss settled the bill,
and the two trzdged homeward, she carry
ing the can, which she had filled before
reaching home. To the questions of her
mother as to where she had been che gave
evasive answers, and said nothing about
her escapade. Not so with the lad, how
ever, he went %ome and related his ad-
venture. He to / what fine time he and
the girl had, where they had been and
what they had eaten. His mother, wish
ing to test the truth of the matter, took
him to her neighbours house, where the
two children were faced. The girl was
indignant, and with tears liz her eyes,
snapped out: ''Wher I take you to ansther
matinee, let me know it, The boy sheep
ishly hid himself behind his mother, while
the girl was led of TO bed.
