Fanatics.

The visitor to Jerusalem may see the
young Rabbi, who believes himself to be
the true Jewish Messiah, walking unhurt
in the streets, although he has not yet
succeeded in gathering disciples Of his
own. Some years since he might watch
the poor sailor (once lightning struck
who, dressed in white, and staggering
beneath wooden cross some fifteen feet
high, announced himsalf as Jesus Of
Nazareth, and inscribed mems names i'll
his book of life; but that troubled brain
now lies NJ peace in the English grave
yard, and while at the grave head the
cross he carried has been fixed with
touching propriety, and is surrounded
W it'll that crown Of thorns which he Mt
one time actually wore. An American
prophet driving a wagon and married to
an Arab wife to the disgust of his lawful
spouse, who has appeared unexpect edly
to claim him, has taken the place of the
Englishman, and is equally tolerated by
the Moslem population. Within the city
itself, close to the Moslem quarter, fif-
teen American devotees await the appear
ance of the Messiah on Olivet, and pass
their time in prayer and song. Yet these
people are suffered to live unmolested,
and can walk the streets without fear OF
being stoned.-Blackwood Magazine.

many in his time as Mr.. Gladstone.
Suppose. for example, as these two pace
the sands at Cannes some afternoon this
week, the Prince, were to say: "Im sick
to death of this playing at work. I want
to have some share in political life. Can
not something be found for me?" and the
Prime Minister replied: well, sir, I'M
less we could make some arrangement
by which you could be permanent Vice
roy of Ireland. I see nothing, and sup
pose you would not do that" and then
the Prince were to rejoin Wouldn't I?
Ia be delighted to do it, and take my
chance of dynamite and daggers with the
rest. If Spencer can stand it, why can't
l? Even if am killed, there are the
boys, Alfred and Arthur" Why, in this
case, we can imagine that Gladstone
might produce another of those startling
transformation scenes which the public
has learned to expect from him. Wind
sor castle would frown, but the country
and her colonies would cry, "Hooray for
a plucky Prince. Only give him a
chance and you see he is as brave as his
brotherin-law Fritz.-N. Y. Times.

What the Prince Of Wales Night Do.

The outlook before the Prince of Wales
is not very brilliant. At forty two man
gets weary of the eternal round of soci-
ETY., and it may be believed and hoped
that the Prince is sick of the empty
headed ''set" of the past. and that bear
fights between his butts and buffoons.
Aylesfords, Cronmels, etc. have ceased
to have charms for him. But the career
open to the eldest son OF Duke is closed
to him. Nothing, as matters stand, can
change his position save the abdicstion
or death of the Queen. Indeed, he is
even worse off than his brother in. law in
Germany, since he has at least actively
and honorably participated in real life in
the army, from which the Prince of
Wales is kept back by etiquette and con.
demned to pass his days in christening
steamboats,, inaugnrating docks and open
ing new wings to hospitals-delightfu
tasks, doubtless, yet which, nevertheless.
must after while be apt to pail, and We
can we'll imagine that vista OF some
twenty years more passed in that fashion
may not be altogether cheering. And
yet the Queen is quite likely to live as
long as that, and those who know her
we'll assert that she will never resign; to
be Queen is. in fact, confirmed habit
with her, acquired very early, and
likely to be held on up to the last,
for We don't lay aside habits

Her Saturday afternoon receptions were
and every caller felt personally welcome
when held in her warm grasp or gazing
into her bright, sparkling face. The
presentations to Mrs. McElroy are not
followed, as heretofore, by introductions
to the several members of the receiving
party, and one wanders rather helplessly
along the long line of beautifully dressed
women, unless perchance some familiar
face causes momentary stop and snatch
of conversation. The woman of social
standing has hitherto stepped in the rear
of the receiving party, if she SO desired,
in order to witness the incoming human
stream or to meet the friends sure to be
gathered there; but the man who is
stationed at the end of the receiving line
guards the entrance of this desired
haven as effectually as the angel with the
flaming sword protected paradise, I'M
less, perforce, the person DESTROYS of

member or the party assisting in the en-
tertainment of callers. 1t may be per-
fectly correct and en- regle to enforce
such petty laws, but the effect is felt in
the stiffness and illness of the social
atmosphere and the small numbers in
attendance. Washington Capital.

The BetrONleti.

There was once in this country youth
and handsome girl who had been court.
ing for many years, and were betrothed
to each other, and had pledged them
selves to remain faithful to each other
even after death.
Now it came to pass that the young
man went at last on long, long voyage,
and died in foreign lands, SO that his
sweetheart knew nothing of what had
happened to him.
Yet in tho night he returned to his ma
tive village, and entered the stables of
the young girls parents, and took there
from white mare, and rode her to
where his sweetheart slumbered with
friends at great distance off.
Aud the dead man rode to the door of
the house, and knocked upon it. SO that
the folk within were aroused and cried
out: "Who is there?'
\ ut is young man sent by the parents
of the girl who is living here to fetch her
h ONE"
,"Ah :" said the dead mans sweetheart,
"naamma must have sent him." For she
knew the voice.
"Aye," answered the horseman, "for
tomorrow is our wedding day."
She mounted upon the white mare be-
hind him, and they started. But on the
road the yong man said to her:
"The moon lights thee; death is with
thee-art not afraid ?"
MAY" she answered; with thee 1
cannot fear"
And he complained of a strange pain
in his head.
Blind thy handkerchief" she said +,
"around thy forehead"
He answered that he had none, ana
the young girl gave him hers, which he
tied around his head.
So they rode to the house Of the maid
ems parents, and she dismounted and
knocked upon the door, that they might
open unto her.
"Who is there?''
1T is l, your daughter, whom you did
send for"
"By whom ?"
"By my own betrothed rode hither
behind him. On the way he told me
that he had no handkerchief, and l lent
him mine. He has gone to the stable to
unsaddle our gray mare"
They went to the stable; and the be-
trotbed was not there. But the white
mares TANKS streamed with sweat.
When the young girl learned that her
lover was nowhere to be found, she
knew that he was dead and she died also.
But long afterward, when the body of
the dead sailor was disinterred in order
that the lovers might be buried together,
they found the maiden's white handker-
chief bound about the skull.

Ell Perkins on Buying Diamonds In
New York.

Since they have discovered diamonds
in Africa, they are getting too common
on Fifth avenue to be noticed. One
young lady, reported to be young and
handsome, wears lingering diamonds
in her hair. A Chicago lady, staying at

with her present husband two weeks
without getting divorce, wears diamond

CONGRESSIONAL.

In the Senate the 22d, after debate
resolution was adopted that 1t is the sense of
the Senate that whenever the internal revenue
tax on tobacco snuff or cigars is reduced or re-
moved. unless ample previous notice of the
time when the act is to take effect be given, a
proportionate rebate of taxes paid on stocks
on hand should be allowed. The bill to extend
the bonded period of whisky was then taken
Service bill came up as unfinished business.
Senators Beck, of Kentucky, and Malone, of
Virginia, had livelytilt during the debatethat
followed. The debate continued until adjourn
ment.. 1.-The House consumed much time in
mimportant talk, but finally got into Commit
tee on the Army Appropriation bill, which was
present, when the Committee rose and the
House adjourned.
In the Senate the 2}d, Mr.. Plumb called I'D
the bill providing for holding the term of the
United States District Court at Wichita Kan,
and it was passed. AT the close of the morning
hour the Civil Service bill came up as unfinished
business, the question being on Mr.. Pughs
amendment, providing that the present force
of the departments, except soldiers, etc., be
subjected to a competitive examination like
persons outside, and. to facilitate such examina-
ton, shall be divided into three classes Then
followed discussion which was prolonged
until adjournment and the Senate adjourned
until the nth. Without transacting any
business the House adjourned forthree days.
The Senate met on the 9th and at the close
of the morning hour the consideration of the
Civil Service bill was resumed, the question be.
ing on Mr.. Hawley's amendment prohibiting
the solicitation collection of political contri-

A FARMER residing near Elmira, n. Y,
recently undertook to ascertain as closely
rs possible the long-controverted ques-
ton as TO the cost of raising a pound of
tobacco. The Chemung Valley Tobacco
Club resolved to investigate, and after a
long and careful comparison of the state
ments of all the best and largest pro-
ducers of tobacco in that district, a
result was ascertained to be generally
accepted. The itemized estimate shows
the total cost to be $133.75 per acre by
the time the plant is ready for market.
Figuring on the basis of an average
yield of 1900 pounds per acre, the to-
bacco costs eight and nine-tenths cents
per pound. The fact is thus shown that
In that part of the State of New York
tobacco cannot be grown for less than
nine cents a pound and sold at profit
This estimate is for the cost of growing
the large seed-leaf varieties, and not of
the hybrid tobacco or the domesticated
Havana seed.

THIS country is not alone in its strug-
giles with defaulters and embezzlers, for
we are told that the City Council of
London, Canada, are investigating the
affairs of that municipality, and the
Special Auditor submitted lengthy re-
port of his examination of the books and
accounts of the city for the period of
thirty-six years, during which the late
John Brown held the office of Treasurer,
and he finds that in 1874 Brown stole S24,-
POI, and each year from that time to 1882
he stole public money until his robberies
amounted in the aggregate to about
$4,000. The Treasurer as soon as de-
tected saved the city any further expense
by killing himself.
