A Teachers Cruelty Toward n Little Girl
Who Wouldu't Sit with the Boys.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 5.-Tony Laymiller is
teacher in country school in Stark county,
five miles south of Canton. He was arrested
yesterday, charged with assault and battery.
Mrs. M Oglethorpe is the plaintiff. She al
leges that her daughter Mary, II years old,
was pupil in theschool, and on Wednesday
last, for some trifing violation of the rules,
Laymiler. as punishment, ordered her to re-
move her seat to the boys side of the room.
This she refused to do, when Laymiller
threw her upon the floor, and tied heavy
cord about her wrists. He then dragged the
girl to the wall, and putting the cords over two
of the hooks used for holding wraps, drew the
girl up until her toes barely touched the floor.
In this condition she hung from 9 O'Clock in
the morning until $50 O'Clock in the afternoon
when her mother, having been told by one of
the pupils, hastened to the school and ordered
the teacher to cut her down, which he did The
girl, when released, was unable to walk, and it
is feared has sustained serious injury. Lay
miller gave bail for his appearance on Satur-
day next for o hearing.

PEN Picture of Edward O'DonOVau, One
of the False Prophets Victims.
New Orleans Times-Democrat.l

New Orleans Times-Democrat.1
Edward O'Donovan, who is reported to
have been one of the victims of Hicks Pa
sha's disastrous march into the Soudan, was
one of the best known and most adventur-
Gus of English special correspondents.
When q young man he became involved In
Irish political affairs and fed abroad. After
drifting hither and thither, and suffering se-
we're hardships in foreign lands, he started
off for Turkestan, and finally reached Merry
after a series of astounding adventures,
which he related in the columns of the Lon
don Daily News, and afterward more fully
in his book, "The Merry Oasis" published
in 1882. He was elected one of the khans
of Merry, and when he left there 1t was on
the understanding that he would endeavor
to secure political assistance against Russian
encroachments. ODonovau's career was a
more remarkable one even than that of STAN
ley. He was selected always for the most
dangerous expeditions, and being wonder
full linguist could, when disguised, make his
way into and out Of countries where discoy-
cry was almost certain death. The reporter
of an English paper who interviewed O'Don-
ovan in January last in his London lodg-
ings thus describes him in the midst Of bar
barrie surroundings: "Over the back of a
CHAIR is thrown great sheepSkln coat,
which is reversible. The fleece is long
and curly, while the skin has been
tanned with the rind of pomegran-
ates. On the ground is a native tobacco
pipe, description of hookah, knives of va
rious kinds are to be seen on tables and
shelves, while magnificent gold mounted
sword hangs on the wall. This was pre-
sented to Mr.. O'Donovan when he was.in-
vested as khan. On that occasion he was
also given a finely-wrought gold ring, which
he still wears, and another sword possessing
fine English blade and an Afghan mount,
the steel being inlaid with gold. It bears
the date of 1S40, and must have been cap
tured by the Afghans from the English, and
afterward was taken by the Turcomans
from the Afghans in the Khyber pass His
large leather riding boots, great coat,
whose sleeves are long enough to turn over
and protect the hands, and several other
garments made of undyed camePs hair lie

which he prizes most is an Irish frieze.

MONTREAL, Dec. 5.-There is great excite

Craig, president of the Exchange Bank. 1t is
believed that with double liabilities paid up
there will not be- sufficient by 80 per cent to
liquidate the liabilities. The banks share
holders are organizing so as to resist the direc-
tors being appointed liquidators, as they have
been exclusively elected on their own votes
and proxies of Craig. The president went

much for him. Admissions were made today

Louise have returned to England, the Indians

Mammals Picture.
BY MRS. MARY E. NEALY.

Written THE EVENING STAR.
"Mam-ma1n! Mam-nlaml'" the baby cries,
Pointing his finger, dimpled and small,
To pictured face upon the wall.
With the softest, gentlest eyes,
The face OF the mother who gave him birth,
But who lieth alone In her narrow grave,
Buried beneath the cold, cold earth,
Where autumn grasses wave.
10000! oo-oow the darling COOS,
AS he lays his face on the senseless glass
But the fair head lying beneath the grass
Wet by the autumn dews
Can hear no sound from these baby lips
AS the days, and weeks, and months 20 on.
Her ear is dulled by dark eclipse,
And her eye is shut from the dawn.
All, little darling! the time will come
When your heart will long for single word
From the voice that may nevermore be heard
In her happy earthly home.
But afar away In the shining skies
am sure that her spirit will watch for you:
That the love still lives in those soft brown eyes
Above yon ether blue.
For the love OF a mother for her child
Is an essence that surely cannot die,
While the stars shall beam In the evening sky
Or roses bloom in the wild.
And, guarding ever your future way,
And lowering over your cradle bed,
May her blessing fall by night and day,
Upon your fair young head!
Christmas Eve, 1888.
