shrek of woe, she and the infant simultane-
ously fell to the floor. The letter, written
in almost an illegible hand and filled with an
abundant amount of phonetic spelling, con-
tanned the following startling words:
Your sons wife is a niger. He mar
ried niger. am her grandmother, and /
am what they call mulatto. You would
think she is white, like you white folks, but
she amt. If you don't believe me come
and see me. send my address,
A name, number and the name of street
were at the bottom of this dynamite hand
grenade. OF course when the old lady re-
covered from her swoon she refused to be-
lieve that the note contained the truth.
However, when the husband heard of the
contents he Immediately began a strict IN
vestigation, and when the facts in the case
became so convincing that the wife could
deny no longer, his young and charming
brunette treasure, with tears of anguish In
her beautiful dark eyes, confessed, in her
husbands arms, that colored blood did run
in her veins.
1t seems that the old mulatto woman gam
bier was his wife's grandmother. His wife's
grandfather was white man, and her par
ents were white, her mother having been
more successful at deception in this line
with her husband than the young wife had
been with her young broker husband. The
DeautlIul brunette Vile then certainly had
very slight negro element in her physical
makeup. 1t appears that the old colored
grandmother had for years obtained "hush
money from the young wife which she
spent on her ruling passion-gambling
The old mulatto was the woman who had
SO amazed the frequenters Of the low gam
bling bells of the city. When the young wife
refused to give the old woman money she
would threaten to write OF tell the secret to
the aristocratic mother in law.
At last the wife, tired out and disheart-
ened by the frequent demands on her purse
by the old female gambler, absolutely re
fused to give her any more substantial
wealth, never even dreaming for moment
that at that late day the old woman would
carry her vile threat into execution. But,
in an evil hour, the old female gambler did
so, with the dire results stated. As the
young wife refuses to give up her husband,
and as her attorney, one of the leading law
yers of this city, declares that under the pc
culiar circumstances of the case the mar
rage is legal, it is stated that the young
broker, goaded on by his indignant mother,
win institute suit for divorce at an early
day. In appearance the unhappy wife re-
sembles the average pretty American bru-
nette, and no one not conversant with the
facts as here given would suppose, even for
moment, that she had slight mixture of
colored blood in her veins.

THE dreadful accident which occurred in
New York school-house, whereby seven
teen children lost their lives, furnishes a
terrible illustration of the importance of so
constructing school-houses that egress from
them shall be easy, and of providing them
with proper means of escape, SO that when
fire occurs or an alarm of fire is given, the
children can be got out of the building with
safety and dispatch. These children who
were killed in New York were crushed to
death in frantic struggle to escape from a
building which had been so constructed as
to be perfect death trap, and which was
totally unfit for the use to which it was put
We wonder if there are any school buildings
in Portland of that particular kind.

How to Hold a Teaspoon

The Hon. Grantley Berkeley tells the fol-
lowing amusing story Of old Lady Clermont,
who used to be constant ruest at the
Brighton Pavilion in the days when that
singular edifce was the abode of royalty and
roysterers. Her physician had recommended
moderate use of stimulants to supply that
energy which was deficient in her system,
and brandy had been suggested in pre-.
scribed quantity to be mixed with her tea.
Il remember well," says Grantley Berkeley,
who vas child at the time, "having my
curiosity excited by this 10 me novel form O
taking medicine, and holding on by the back
of chair to watch the moduS operandi.
Very much to my establishment the patient
held liquor bottle over a cup Of tea and be-
gan to pour out its contents, with peculiar
.purblind look, upon the back of a teaspoon
Presently she seemed suddenly to become
aware of what she Was about, turned up the
spoon the right way, and carefully measured
and added the quantity to which she had
been restricted. The tea so strongly LACED"
she then drank with apparent gusto. What
seemed inexplicabe to nv ingenious mind
was the unvarying recurrence of the same
mistake of presenting the back of the spoon
instead of the front. The gravity with which
she noticed her apparent mistake, without
attempting to conceal it, and her little ex-
clamation OF surprise, so invariably uttered,
amused me so much that when she Quilted
the Pavilion the best part of the days enter
tainment seemed to have departed with her.,

Thezuni Women Raging with Jeal.
OI1SV


An unexpectable result of the visit of the
Zunis and Frank Cushing to the east, is that
all the Zuni women whose husbands took
the trip, are as jealous as Barbary hens be-
cause Pedro Pine says the plainest white
woman he saw in Washington was hand
somer than the prettiest zuni girl. The stout
old fellow, now nearly 90 years old, has
been RECALLING the pueblos with stories of his
adventures, and the marvels of the white
mans ways, till be has earned the reputa-
ton of being the biggest liar in the nation
But he only mischief yet observed is this
arousiDg of the women. Pedro's wife doesn't
seem to be troubled, but his sons wife is
making herself very unpleasant. The young
man was quite ladies' man in Washington,
and wore good many trinkets that had
been given him when he went back. Mrs
Stevenson, who with her husband of the bu-
reau of ethnology visited Zlni last autumn,
asked the young man what had become of
the trinkets, and he confessed with some
feeling that his wife had confiscated them af-
ter hearing Pedro's stories of the Washing
ton womens attentions TO him. This is
another proof that the Zunis are not much
like other Indians-no such story ever came
back from a Sioux tribe after their braves
had returned from Washington.
