Revenge is Sweet.

There was young man Of Sing Sing,
says the New York Tribune, but per-
hapsit will be best to make plain prose
statement OF this matter, though the line
runs to metre, in writing of r,mance and
war. He was jealous of his wife, from
whom he had been separated after two
days of married life, and when he asked
her why certain young man came to
see her SO often, he found himself sud-
denly slapped as to his mouth and kicked
as to his shins. Then he determined on
revenge. He did not shoot her or him,
nor did he take poison himself. He lay
in wait for the young man, angered him
by some remarks, and whom the young
man wickedly swore, the husband had
him arrested, and stood by in fend;sh
exultation while tho Judge fined him
two dollars for profanity. This was
safe and peaceable vengeance, and may
be commended to husbands OF fiery
and impetuous disposition, who may be
led. when their shins are kicked, into
some deed of terrible rashness.

A newspaper correspondent who has

the fact that Divine retribution is not

the future life is entered upon. He
says:

A CONFESSION.
(Erchange.)


Theodosia, the beautiful daughter of
Aaron Burr, married Governor Allison,
of South Carolina. She left Carleston
on Dec. 20, 1872, on the ship Patriot,
to visit her father in New York. The
ship was never seen after, except by
pirates. An old, worn out sailor, who
gave his name as Benz. F. Bendick,
died recently in an almshouse In Mich
iean. On his deathbed he called the
chaplain and said he wanted to relieve
his mind of terrible weight before en-
tering into the mysteries of the future.
He said that in his young days he sail
ed on piratical vessel and was one OF
the crew that captured the Patriot,
murdered every soul on board and
scuttled her. It fell to his lot to pull
the plank from under Theodosia ALI.
son and send her to the bottom of the
sea. He says she came forth from the
cabin arrayed lii white, holding Bi
BILE in one hand, and with heroic mier
took her place on the slender instru
ment of death, and without a shuddel
or culver of a muscle was precipi
tated into the waves. The noble, un

said, had haunted him all his subse

Secretary Chandler was pointing out
to the President the earth-works and

A FOUR STORY HOUSE WITH A FIVE
FEET FRONT.
How One Man Euched Another.
{ Galccston Ne,cs.

(Galccston Ne,cs.)
When Lexington avenue, in New
York, was cut through Eighty-second
street, few years ago, all there was
left of certain lot on the corner of
Eighty-second street was narrow
strip of land five feet wide and one
hundred feet deep. This was owned
by man who did not own the lot I'M
mediately adjoining it. The strip was
not of much value in itself, but was
valuable to the owners neighbor, as it
would give his lot a frontage Oh Lex
ington avenue. The respective own
ers could not come to terms on the
sale, and rather than give his neighbor
the benefit of his five feet of land, the
owner of the narrow strip has had
erected thereon house, five feet wide,
one hundred feet deep and four stories
high, which considerably reduces the
value OF the neighbor's property. The
new building, which has been finished
some months, is divided into two hous
es, each fifty feet long, and the en-
trance doors, of course, on the avenue,
as there is no room for door at eth
er end of the building. The law al
lows a building at the corner of a
street to have projecting bay windows
along the side, and, taking advantage
of the circumstance, the architect has
managed to plan house, which, while
peculiar in inside appearance, and
probably very uncomfortable to live
in, may find tenants. Without these
bay windows, or square projections
running from the foundations to the
roof, it would not have been possible
to build a house at all, for no room
would have been wider than three feet
Each house has, therefore, two ba,
windows, in one of which are the stair
and in the other one room about eigh
feet wide by fifteen feet long, upol
each floor. The long passage betwee1
the stair wall and the room is abou
three feet wide Each house contain
kitchen eight by fifteen feet, and fou
rooms, each of the same size but o
different floors. There are also niger
iously placed closets at each end of tn
building and under the stairs. Bot
houses are unoccupied. One is offere
for rent at $500 a year.
