IN LOVE HEDw1N BOOTH,
A Foolish Girl Tempts Fate and
is Fortunate IN the Mans
Honesty.

Speaking Of the prosecutions of ac-
tors reminds me of very pretty
story regarding Edwin Booth. It
was while he was playing at the
Winter Garden that young miss in
her teens fell desperately in love
with him. She was the only daugh-
ter of wealthy parents, and night
after night she would make some
excuse to leave her home and 20 to
the theatre. She deluged Booth
with love letters, and finally he
wrote to her telling her to meet him
at the stage door at the end of the
performance on q certain evening.
She was there according to appoint
ment.
Booth handed her into his carriage
and gave some whispered instruc-
tions to the driver. The horses were
driven rapidly and in a few moments
the young girl found herself in front
of her own home. The carriage
stopped and Booth assisted her to
alight. Taking her arm in his he
walked with her up to the stoop and
rang the bell. It was late, and the
girls father, who had become very
anxious about her whereabouts,
opened the door. When he saw her
i'll the company of the actor he
started back in establishment. ''Mr.
-" said Booth very quietly, II
have brought your daughter home.
She has been very foolish, but she
has promised never to be so again,
and I would advise you to take bet
ter care of herr With these words
he turned and left. That young girl
is happy wife and mother now, but
she never tires Of telling the lesson
received from the great actor.-New
York Star.

Washington News Notes.

WASHINGTON, April 2l.-Indian
Agent Wilcox telegraphs to the
Indian Office that company of
rangers are now near San Carlos
agency, evidently intending to sur
prise the Indians. Their suspicious
movements are exciting the Indians
and it is thought serious results may
ensue. The agent expresses fear
that the Indians cannot be influenced
to act solely on the defensive and
says they should not be put to test.
Secretary Teller to-day directed
Agent Wilcox to inform the rangers
they must Lot surprise the Indians
and directed Wilcox to acquaint the
officers in charge Of the United States
troops with the situation, in order
that precautions may he taken to
prevent trouble.
BY direction Of the secretary of the
interior, the remainder of the lands
of the Otoe and Missouri Indian res
ervatlon,i i'm Kansas aul Nebraska, COM
prising about 5O,OOn acres will be offer
ed at public sale at the United States
land office in Beatrice -Neb., 10th May.
Senator VanWyck, who has been in
strumental in bringing about this
sale, asked Secretary Teller to send an
officer from the department to super
intend it. 1t is probable that Com
missioner McF arland, Of the General
Land Office, will 60 to Nebraska for
that purpose. The lands will be sold
only to persons who shall within
three months from the date Of their
application make permanent settle
ment upon the same, and each appli-
cation must be accompanied by an
affidavit as evidence of good faith in
this respect. The land will be sold to
the highest responsible bidder, at not
less than the appraised value, in so
acre tracts, and no one person will be
allowed to purchase more than 100
acres. :.
The money order system will be ex-
tended TO 1884 additional postotfices on
July lst, principally in the Western
and Northwestern States.

Backhanded People.

We shake hands as u saIutatiou; a
Chinaman shakes hands with him
self. He stands at a distance, and
clasping both together, he shakes
them up and down at you. We un-
cover the head as a mark of respect;
they keep their heads covered, but
take off their shoes for politeress.
We shave the face, but they shave
the head and eyebrows. We cut our
finger nails; they consider it aristo-
cratic to have nails from three to five
inches long. which they are obliged
to protect in silver cases. The Chi
naman's waistcoat is outside his coat,
and his drawers outside his trousers.
We blacken our shoes; be whitens
them. We have soup as a first
course at dinner, and desert at last.
They have desert at first and soup at
last. We want our wines ice cold;
the Chinese drink theirs scaldiBg
hot. We bury in the earth, they on
its surface. With us black clothing
is badge Of mourning, with them
white garments indicate the loss Of
friends. In that land of opposites it
is the old men VINO fly kites, walk
on stills, and play the shuttle-cock,
and to keep up their odd ways of do
ing things, they play the latter with
their feet instead of their hands. In
China women do mems work, and
men are milliners, dressmakers, and
washerwomen. With us the
right hand is the place
of honor; with them it is the left
hand. Ia dating letters we place the
year last, they write the year first.
They always speak OF the mariners
compass (their own invention) as
pointing to the south. We pay our
physicians when we are sick; they
pay while they are well, but as soon
as they get sick the pay stops. Here
men kill their enemies; a Chinaman
gets revenge by killing himself. We
use a soft pillow; they block of
wood. They launch ships sidewise,
ring bells from the outside, and actu-
ally turn screws in the opposite direc-
ton from ours.-Ch Christian Advocate.

Consultation Of the Cabinet

OonsuItat1On or the Cabinet,
! WASHINGTON, April 24.-At a Cabi
net meeting to-day, after short dis
cussion Of the rules of the civil serv.
Ice commission copy was given te
each member of the Cabinet for ex.
animation. There was some discus.
sion OF the question whether the Ma.
tional Board Of Health or the Ma.
rlne Hospital service should direct
and control the expenditure of SIOO.-
600 appropriated for the prevention
ana suppression OF epidemic diseases,
out no conclusion was reached. There
was also some informal con-
versation at the meeting to-day
with regard to the evidence furnished
ny the newspapers that persons in
the United States are engaged in urg-
ing and directing the operations Of
the dynamite plotters in England.
This conversation did not grow out
OF any official correspondence upon
the subject, for no document of any
Kind relating to it was presented; but
there IS reason to believe
that a hypothetical question
was framed and discussed. and
that the members of the Cabinet gen.
orally expressed their views as to
what the policy Of this government
should be in various suggested con-
tingencies which might arise out of
the manifest disposition of certain
Irish leaders to use this country as a
base for attacks by means of dyna-
mite and nitro-glycerine upon the En-
glish government and the English
people.

To Young Men.

A little common sense and good
advice will not DC wasted, hardly out
of place, even here. We do not know
| who wrote it, and here it is:
| Young man if you contemplate q
business career, you cannot look
after your habits too carefully. Your
aim in life is to be successful with
bad habits it is impossible to be sue
cessful or respected. Matters which
seem of small importance to you may
become in future the turning point
in your career, either up or down, as
they have that of mauy man before
you. In illustration OF this we print
the following anecdote as related in
one of the most prominent New
York dailies:
Horace 3. Clat1in, one Of the most
prominent and wealthy drygoods
merchants of New York, was alone
in his office one afternoon when a
young man, pale and careworr,
timidly knocked and entered. "Mr.
Claf1in," said he, II have been un-
able to meet certain payments be-
cause parties failed to do by ME as
they agreed to do, and I would like
to have $4,000. / come to you be-
cause you have been a friend to my
father, to my mother, and might bea
friend to me-"
"Come in,' said C!aflin, "come in
and have u glass OF wine.'
No" said the young man, II
don't driuk."
'Have cigar then?'
"No, never smoke.'
"Well," said the joker. II would
like to accommodate you, but don't
think I can."
VERY well,' said the young man
as he was about to leave the room, II
thought perhaps you might-good
day, sir"
Hold on" said Mr.. Clafiin, you
don't drink?"
mo"
Nor smoke, nor gamble, nor any
thing of the kink?"
"No, sirv'
"Well," said Mr. Claf1in, with
tears in his eyes, ''yeu shall have it,
and three times the amonnt if you
wish. Your father let me have $5,-
300 once and asked the same ques.
lions. No, thanks, [ owed it to you
for your fathers sake. |

Confession of a. Murderer.

DANvILLE, April 24.-William ID.
Dodson, arrested at Franklin juno
tion for the murder of negro, re-
ported yesterday, confessed to hiring
two negroes to bring him the body
for dissection, pretending to be a
physician. He carried the body into
the upper room of the house occu-
pied by himself, wrapped it in bed
clothing, poured kerosene over it,
fixed lighted candle to it and went
away. The mistake was made in
cutting the candle 50 long that the
house did not take fire during the
night, it being his purpose to burn
the house and have it appear that he
himself had been burned in it, that
the family light obtain the amount
OF a policy recently procured.

Senator Tabor.

Most everyone who voted for the
legislators who voted for Senator
Tabor, the shoddy Congressman
from this magnificent State, is now
brushing the hair off his head, or,
concealed in some quiet dell, he is
kicking himself around over the
damp earth. Mr.. Tabor, the great
statesman, orator and third-rate
boarding house keeper, who a few
years ago played stallion poker in a
bed-buggy boarding house, while the
wife from whom he is now divorced,
Gid the work and supported the en-
bryo statesman, logician and scholar,
takes it all coolly and with his COM
paratively new wife he smiles at the
honest voter and horny-handed con-
stituent who sent him to Washing
ton in order that the broad and beau
tiful State Of Colorado might blush
her toe nails off.
I used to think it hard that was
not bonanza man who could enter
good society or the penitentiary ac-
cording to circumstances, and who
might be Il senator or a son-of-a gun
whenever l chose, but now that I
have seen it tried l am content to la
Dor on through life without winning
deathless notoriety as q lecherous
congressman and thick-necked snoo-
zer who,-under the shadow of the
great national capitol at Washington,
tiaunts the tail of his $3.50 night shirt
in the face of the godde, of liberty,
spells cabbage with a k and don't
know the difference between the
Dred Scott decision and the statute
in such case made and provided.
Pm glad, though nature and cruel
fate have fitted me to walk in the
trail and in sixty cent
night shirt, that I am content.
Though l may not he so bewitehing
in the robes of night as Senator Ia
Dor is. / am not afraid that previous
and pro tenn wives will burst in upon
my childlike slumbers and wreck the
Oy of my existence. It may be only
! slight difference in taste but that's
he kind of social outcast that am.

1t the last meeting of the Phia-
| delpbia Numismatic and Aniiquar-
| ian Society, Henry Phillips, Jr.,
read translation Of wondeIfu! dis
covery, an account of which he had
received from one Of his Russian cor
respondents. The document set
forth that in December, 1882, on the
Euphrates, some $50 kilometres
north of the city of Alexanlretta, a
huge mound was explored and found
to contain Grecian sarcophagus Of
pyramida form, 45 metres high by
$50 metres round at the base. Sur
mounting it We're enormous masses
of rocks which had been carved into
colossal statuary and bas-relie;s. The
figures on the east and west si,;es
were Identical. The tum'llus was
the resting-place of Antiochus Of
Commagene 1894 b. c. and ex-
hibits the forefathcrs and tutelary
gods of bis house, the former i'm high
relief, the latter as statues. ALI the
ancestors are shown from Darius
Hystaspes and before each one is his
especial altar. A broad stone stair
way gives access to the summit Of
the mound, where there are five col
Ossal statues, each more than seven
metres high, of which Zeus OromaZ-
des is the central figure, at whose
right hand is seated King Antiochus
and around whom are the divlnities
of the law. At the north and south
ends of each row are lions and eagles.
The whole bears an incriptjon relat-
ing to the erection of the monument
and the institution of an order OF
priests and of yearly festivals upon
the anniversary of the birthday
and coronation of the monarch.

THE MISSOULA STAMPEDE.

A sort of wild and dunfounded stam-
pede has been raging from the east
ern portion of the Territory towards
the western for the past few days,
and the infection seems to be taking
hold of some in this locality. AS
gatherers of news, diligent effor,
has been made to get hold of some
thing definite and authentic for the
information and guidance Of those
who take interest in these mat
ters. The Missoula papers know
nothing about any marvellous dig
gings lying about loose in their i'm
mediate vicinity, neither does any
one living in that locality. 1t is
little singular, and not altogether
favorable to any substantial basis to
this stampede, that it broke out in
Bozeman. 1t has been suggested,
and the suggestion carries much
FEASIBILITY, that some possessors of
horse flesh have taken this method
to unload stock of cayuses. This
lnotnew to certain Bozeman PARTIES.
II 1t be true that rich plaeers have
been discovered, any such wild rush
thlther as marked the early history
Of this country is ill-advised. Every
intelligent human being must know,
II ne stops to consider, that the finder
OF any placers Of value at this day
VIII see to it, before he makes the
matter public, that lie has put his
discovery in shape, under the min
eral law act, to make his dis
coVery inure to his own bene-
H. The stampeder will then
nave the unsubstantial satisfaction
only of viewing rich ground guar
anteed to another by the laws of the
United States. If he enter thereon
hels trespasser, and if he extract
!nerefrom any of the precious metal,
he Is a felon. Under the present
laws Of the United States stampede
Is a folly, and with no more definite
knowledge than exists in regard to
w., Ine present stampede, to follow it is
lunacy.

An 1rate German Paper.

| BERLIN, April 25. - The North
German Gazette makes very savage
attack on the United States govern.
ment in protecting the interests ol
American pork. The Gazette's arti-
Gle goes beyond the ordinary limits
of journalism and accuses the United
States of attempting to initiate the
conduct of England in forcing opium
, /, into China. The writer asserts that
the present prohibition of the impor-
/, tation Of American pork into Ger
many is for sanitary reasons which
the German government was COM
PEELED to take for the purpose of pro-
tectlng its subjects from physical
disease and degeneration much more
than the enforced introduction of
opium entails upon the Chinese. The
Gazette also makes an attack upon
the United States Minister at Berlin,
A. A. Sargent, and accuses him Of
having done all in his power to in
duce the U. S. government to retail
ate upon Germany by prohibiting
the importation into the
United States of all German
products possible to procure else
where until by reason consequent
upon bad trade the German govern
ment should be compelled to sue
cumb and withdraw all opposition
10 the introduction of all 4 merican
hog products The paper intimates
that Sargent has been doing this Sc
cret1y and processes to have been en-
.tirely ignorant of his being such u
powerful enemy to Germany's inter-
ests until the discovery was made OH
the arrival of certain American jour-
nails containing the Minister'S address
to his government. The Gazette,
coming to the specifications, states
that the German commercial journal,
H0ndels-Zeitung, published in New
York city, in its issue of March ~,
1888, published an article signed ~
Minister Sargent in which it be. lily
advocated such a system of retaiia-
ton by the United States upon Ger
many until the latter abolished its
laws against American
pork, as would actually amount to
reprisals which would be successful
to force American trichine
upon German consumers of pork
by precisely the same kind of argu-
ment as that which caused the opium
war. A correspondent was assured
at the office of the American Minis
ter that Sargent had never written
any such article as attributed to him,
and the onlv production upon the
subject to which his name could
have been appended must have been
his last report to the American State
Department, which was mailed at
Berlin on January 1st last. This, it
was claimed, contained nothing con-
retaliation, but was solely q
report made up mainly from extracts
rom editorials in German papers,
going to show that there was no basis |
for any restriction upon the importa-
ion into Germany Of American pork
IN the ground of Its Infection with
and that the best informed |
German editors believed that the
entire movement against American
pork was purely selfish and controlled
)y those dealers in German pork who
we're compelled to sell the native |
product much lower by reason of
competition.

Ex-Congressman Murch Explains

EX-COn&reS6man Murcn GApIsaAns
WASHINGTON. April 24.-Assistant
Secretary New, chairman of the Hill
investigating commission, received
to-day 4 long letter from ex-Repre-
sentative Murch, explaining his po-
sition with reference to the pending
investigation. The letter is for the
present withheld from the press. but
it is known that Murch makes sew
eral objections to the management OF
the investigation. Of these the most
important is that Assistant Solicitor
Robinson, who. as Murch asserts, is
partial to Hill, as allowed to sit as
member OF the commission. .,
When the objection was made
known to Secretary Folgei, M at
once conferred with Mr. Robinson OH
the subject. The latter said that
while he felt sure that he could act
Justly and conscientiously in the in
vestigation, he was heartily willing
to withdraw il there was the least
reason for such course. Secretary
Folger says a substitute for Mr.. Rob
inson will be selected. There rs no
doubt of the ktter's perfect integrity,
but in order that no charge OF favor
itism can possibly be made against
any membar of the comission.
