A Repentant Thief.
Richmond Register.

Last Monday morning, when Post
master Taylor went to make up his
mail, he found in the outside letter
box package, bearing the superscrip-
ton; please give this TO Mr. Hern-
don, written in a very neat and
legible hand. Mr.. Taylor took the
package to DR.. j. p Herndon, at
his drug store, who, upon eXamina-
ton, found it to contain, intacts, all
the articles of jewelry, consisting Of
a gold watch-chain, d diamond pin
and pair of cuff buttons, that were
stolen from his residence during the
ere there on the 18th of last Novem-
Der Dr. Herndon was very glad to
recover the jewelry, especially the
chain, which is priced much above
its intrinsic value on account of its
having been a bridal present from
him TO his wife. The pin and cuff
buttons are the property of Dr. Hern-
don's son, Mr.. B. NJ. Herndon, and
are worth $500.

THE MAHDI FIGHTS THE BATTLE ALONE
The collapse of Arabs rebellion
left the Mahdi to fight this battle
alone. So far, all circumstances have
helped him At first the mountain
4 tribes and inhabitants generally OF
the Soudan refused to place faith in
/ his divine mission, but by degrees
they discovered in him the attributes
of the true Mahdi and have ended by
convincing themselves that he is the
4 Simon pure. His disciples are said to
rely in part ON a book which cores
! ponds somewhat to the Apocalypse Of
the Christians, styled "El Gafr. y
This work should be of very com
prehensive character, for it is alleged
to indicate that Hahn Pasha, the
youngest son of Mehemet Ali, is the
lawful Khedive. The Egyptian Gov
eminent did more than anything else
for Ahmed Suleiman. If Cairo hal
taken no notice of the religious pre-
tension, it might have been allowed
to die out The Khedive'S Cabinet
adopted the opposite view. 1t hoped,
by denouncing Ahmed Suleiman as a
false prophet, to detach from him his
Moslem supporters, Instead of doing
so the fetvah had quite the contrary
effect Men suddenly awoke to the
fact that there was a Mahdi in exist
ence, and, hating the rule Of the =
tual government, quickly arrived at
the conclusion that he was the true
one.
Various other events have increased
the sympathy for Ahmed Suleiman.
Most of the Soudanese are Malkites
Sheik Alesh Mufh of their sect was
thrown into prison by the Egyptians
and died there under suspicion of poi
son. Desire of vengeance prompted
his people to join the Mahdi. The
treatment of Arab and the fact that
the English had to snatch him from
execution solemnly decreed even by a
fetvah, has created the impression
that the Egyptians were less disposed
to be lenient to the Mahdi's friend
than the English, who overthrow
him. A great ally has likewise joined
Ahmed Suleiman in the person Of
Sheik Elsnousi, who styles himself
the forerunner of the Mahdi, and,
what is of still greater consequence,
has at his back large stores of muni-
tons of war But after all, the sheet
anchor of Ahmed Suleiman is the dis
affection towards their own rulers of
the Egyptian people.

The Origin of the Potato.
Century

The potato, originally a South
American plant, was introduced to
Virginia by st. John Harvey in 1929,
though it was unknown in some coun-
ties of England $50 years later. In
Pennsylvania potatoes are mentioned
very soon after the advent of the
Quakers; they were not among New
York products in 1896, but in 177s we
are told of 1000 bushels grown ON
one sixteen-acre patch in this PROV
ince. Potatoes were served, perhaps
as an exotic rarity, at a Harvard in
stallation dinner in 1907; but the
plants were, only brough into culture
in New England at the arrival of the
Presbyterian immigrants from Ire
land in 1918. Five bushels were ac-
counted a large crop of potatoes for a
Connecticut farmer; for it was held
that, if man ate them everyday,
he could not live beyond seven
years.

The Oman ElrenInce.

a writer in the Decorator and Fur
nisher pays this tribute to the open
hreblace, which is now coming into
prominence as an old fashion revived:
Even when it flashes from a rude
cavern Of brick and mortar, fire may
be regarded as the eye Of an apart
ment, giving cheer snd animation to
whit might else be cold aud ifeless
1t naturally attracts the human eye,
and is therefore a fitting spot about
winch to group objects Of attractive
ness and beauty. Antiquity Of decora-
tons is not amiss, so let the designs be
cheerful, but let not admiration for
antiquity betiaY us INTO admiring an
tiauity for its Own sake. Select what
is beautiful and useful in it, for a
catholic spirit is thespirit Of the times,
but do not, as one house owner of my
acquaintance has done, hang the an
cestral pots and kettles upon a crane
over the drawingroom fine, showing
them complacently to visitors asthings

Over $50, 900 Worth OF Property StO-

New York Herald.

SO far this winter more than 100
wagon robberies have been reported
to the police, most of them being from
express wagons. The value Of the
property stolen is estimated at more
than $40, GOO but although Inspector
Byrnes has had ali his detectives out
none Of the thieves have been traced
The frequent robberies have made
the express men very watchful, On
Saturday night Thomas G. Prime, a
driver for Adams Express, left his
wagon at the corner of Mercer and
Prince streets, but at the door Of the
building he was about TO enter he
turned TO see that his wagon was all
right. He saw man standing on the
wheel in the act OF stealing from the
hood a package Of featkera worth $50.
He seized the man and held him till

were a number of state editors here
last week, and / enquired among them
what Reds degree OF popularity was

the Tribune had absolutely recovered
the confidence of all factions of the
republican party, and gave satisfac-

No Use for the Sleigh.

The recent snowfall in Washington
recalls to the mind Of Pittsburgh
Dispatch writer the experience Of
Hon. Hamilton Fish, who when Sec
rotary of State, had a fine sleigh sent
down there from New York. The day
it arrived there were ten inches of
snow on the streets Of Washington,
and the stablemen worked half the
night to get the sleigh ready for use
next day. Before daylight the wealth
err grew warmer, and by 10 in the
morning all the snow was gone, and
no more fell that winter. "Oh, well,
said Mrs Fish, well use the sleigh
next winter" But there was no snow
next winter, and the handsome sleigh
was finally sent back TO New York
without ever having been used.

influence Of the High.Heeled Shoe on
the Future of the Race.

An alarmed student of Darwin and
Herbert Spencer has written protest
against the shoes that are worn by
women and girls. He has perfect
faith in the theory of the modification
of animal forms to fit particular uses
and regards high heels set in the mid
die of the feminine foot gear as dan
gerous to the harmonious develop
ment of the race. These heels are so
tall and are set 50 far forward in the
fashionable shoe, that the foot in
walking is tilted up into an unnatural
position, so that the modern woman
goes along on her toes with a mincing
gait. TINS sort of thing, says the
angry scientist, can have but one re-
sult-theye will be an abnormal de
velopment of the feminine toes and
an elimination of the feminine heel,
or at least a reduction of it to a mere
documentary form. The crowdlng of
the toe nails will tend to imbed them
in the flesh, and in the course Of time
they will doubtless become extenslle

The committee ON public lands will

cided whether his consolidated bill
proposing a general forfeiture of un-
earned lands shall be reported, or
whether it will be better to separate
the subject into FIVE different bills.
He thinks the latter course will be
pursued, and that five bills which
will restore at least $4,000, 600 acres
to the public domain-will be favora-
bly, reported early in January. He
thinks there are at least %, 900, 600
acres, as to the legality of the forfei-
ture ~ which there can be no ques

never been turned. One of these is the

Present Happiness.

The great secret of gaining bappi-
ness in life is to enjoy the present.
To be doing one thing and thinking
of another is a very unsatisfactory
mode of spending life. Some people
are always wishing themselves some
where but where they are, or thinking
Of something else than what they are
doing, or of somebody else than to
whom they are speaking. This is the
way to enjoy nothing, and to please
nobody. 1t is better to be interested
in inferior persons and inferior things
than to be indifferent with the best.
A principal cause Of this indifference
is the adoption of other peoples taste
instead Of the cultivation of their
own, the pursuit after that for which
we are not really fitted, and to which
consequently we are not really in
clined. This folly pervades more or
less IN all classes and arises from the
error of building our enjoyment on
the false foundation of the worlds
opinion, instead of being, with due
regard to others, each our own world.
