A THIEVING BRIDE.
Newly Welded Couple Arrested the
Eve of Their Bridal Tour.

FREDERICKSBURG, Va, Jan. 20-A few
days ago Alonzo Lynch was married near
Bowling Green, Caroline county, to Miss
Isola Abbey. The parties were of good
social position, ard the wedding was largely
attended by the best people. AS the happy
couple were about to board the northern
train on their wedding tour they were ar
rested by detective on the charge of steal
ing 1000 from James Wright, an uncle of
the bride. Their friends were indignant at
the arrest, pronounclngit it an outrage but the
officers insisted that they knew what they
were about They were taken to the hotel
parlor, and the detectives insisted on search
ing them. This was done, but no money
was found, and the officer was about to re-
lease them when a lady friend present, con-
fident of the brides innocence, suggested
sarcastically that the officer had better look
in her hair. 81 believe | will" said the Of
ficer, whereupon the bride turned pale and
said "Oh, don'tp' Please don't! l have not
got it there" He hair was worn in heavy
coils. She took it down amid tears, and
neatly coied in the heavy braids of her black
hair were $130 in greenbacks. Subsequently
the rest of the money was recovered. The
bride is only nineteen and pretty. When the
newly-married PAR left the house after the
ceremony the uncle from whom the money
was subsequently stolen threw an old shoe
after the carriage for good luck.

Red Cloud, the Indian chief, who wit
messed here yesterday the execution of a
negro murderer, thus gives his views of the
white mans civilization to a National Re
publican reporter:
What did you think of the white mans
method of Furnishing murderers?' asked the
reporter.
"Heap good" said the red pilgrim. "Kill
very quick" And as he said this he pressed
his fingers to his throat and snapped them in
imitation of the drop.
5aIow does it compare with the Indian
method of scalping?"
Heap better" and as he said this he
turned to his comrade and conversed with
him in the Indian tongue, and both shook
their heads wisely. He also informed the
reporter that he was very much pleas ed with
the working of the scaffold, and said he
thought the white mans way should be
adopted by the Indians.
When asked if the hanging of Shaw was
the first he had ever seen he replied in the

MINISTER WEST vICTIMIzED.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-An evening

British Minister. About two weeks ago
Lionel Sackville West, the British Minis
ter, was visited by Zell Hoover, a we'll
known character. in the police circles If
this city, and informed that his residence
here was about to be blown to atoms.
"How?" inquired Mr.. West.
"Why," said Hoover, "there are in this
city quite large and respectable mum,

fixing, if they have not already planted,
dynamite around your house. | know
whereof speak. I think 1 can find out
all about it."

would assist me in finding all about the
matter" said Mr. West.

Hoover.

Give hundred dollars. | will have to
employ some help.
This seemed to satisfy Mr.. West and he
pail the money then and there. Hoov
er lett and employed two of the ex-de-
tectives to assist him to find the dynam-
tiers who were preparing to blow the
representative of Great Britain out OF ex-
istence. The employment of the ex de.
leCtives of course was a mere blind on
the part of Hoover, who has put them up
singly to rob Mr.. West. The two ex.de-
tectives, armed with letter from Maj.
Morgan called OH Mr.. West and learned
that he paid to Hoover quite sum of
mouey for his services in preventing his
residence and family from being blown
to kingdom, come by the dynamiters.
The ex-detectives told Mr.. West that, in
their opinion, he had been gulled; that
there was no truth in the story at all, and
that Hoover had been playing similar
Awindling tricks on people in this city for
years. The Minister inquired what he
could do with Hoover, and found that he
could probably have hin. arrested and
taken before Judge. But it would be
very hard to convict him of the offense,
whereupOn the Hon Lionel Sackville
West concluded to let the matter drop and
his money go.

HISTORY OF THE ALPHABET.

"The Origin and History of the English
Alphabet, was the title of an interesting
lecture recently delivered by Gen. Sir
John FL. LEROY at the Workingmen's
College, London. He said the source of
the English alphabet might be found in
the writing of people who lived in the
hills of Northern India some 5000 or 1000
years ago. AS the time went on those
people were scattered from their native
abodes, and many of them took up their
residence in Syria, the people of which
country adopted their method of writing
a thousand years later the merchants of
Phenicis carried on business in every
part of the then civilized wsrld, but, find
ing that trade could not be carried on to
any very great extent without some meth
Cd of communication, they searched for
some suitable characters for writing, and
those used by the Syrians being the best
obtainable, were adopted. The Phe-
niciaEs carried their newly found alphabet
to the Greeks, from whom it was adopted
by the Romans We now use the Roman
alphabet with slight notifications. In
passing through the hands of so many
nations the alphabet had undergone a
great change; thus When it left the Indian
Mountains each letter represented syl-
liable, of even an idea; but when it ap-
peared in England each letter was only a
part of syllable, and that only part of
an idea.

THEY WE'RE NOT STRANGERS.

Not long ago stood by the death-bed
of little girl. From her birth she had
been afraid of death. Every fiber of her
body and soul recoiled from the sight of
it. Don't let me die"she said; "don't
let me die. Hold me fast. Oh, / can't
CO." Jenny" said,." you have two little
brothers in the other world, and there are
thousands of tender-hearted people over
there who will love you and Jake care Of
ysu" But che cried out again despair
ingly: Don't let me GO; they are stran-
gers over there" She was little cOun-
try girl, strong limbed, fleet of foot, tan
ned in the face; she was raised on the
frontier; the fields were her home. In
vain we tried to reconcile her to the
death that was inevitable. "Hold me
FAST" she cried, "don't let me co., But
even as she was pleading her little hands
relaxed their clinging hold from my waist
and lifted themselves eagerly aloft; lifted
themselves with such straining effort that
lifted the wasted little body from its re-
clining position among the pillows Her
face was turned upward; but it was her
eyes that told the story. They were filled
with the light Of Divine recognition.
They saw something plainly that we could
not see; and they grew brighter and bright
er, and her little hand quivered in eager
ness to go where strange portals had open
ed upon her astonished vision But even
in that supreme moment she did not for
get to leave a word of comfort for those
who would gladly died in her place
'Mamma," she was saying, mamma,
they are not strangers. Pm not afraid"
And every instant the light burned more
gloriously in her blue eyes, till at last it
seemed as if her soul leaped forth upon its
radiant waves, and in that moment her
trembling form relapsed among its pill
lows and she was gone.
