Brooklyn Belle Gives Her Sentenced
Lover a Farewell Embrace.
When John McElwee, sensational
youth of twenty summers, says the Brook
lyn Eagle, was arraigned on charge of
striking his sweetheart, Maggie Andrews,
a pert and pretty miss of 10, he wiped his
moist eyes with his coat sleeve as he
said:
''You see, Judge, me and Maggie has
been keeping company for some time. and
Pm 50 fond of her that | don't like to see
her at all free with other young fellows.
Last Saturday we took walk on Grand
street, and Maggie giggled and flirted so
with every fellow we passed that /
couldn't stand if. The more | growled
about it, the more she laughed at me. and
at last l got excited and just hit her on
the face with my open hand. She fell off
the chair somehow, and her head came in
contact with chair rung somehow.
That's how it happened, and Pm awful
sorry, sir, and l don't think Maggie will
press the charge against me.v
Eyes, l will" said Maggie, whose pret-
ty blue eyes were also filled with tears.
while an ugly bandage half hid her gold
en- tresses. Pm ready to forgive YOU.

think L can quite forgive you till know
you've had something done to you for the
way you treated me. / want to see some
thing done to him, judge"
Every we'll, them" said the obliging
Magistrate. "John, the offence you have
committed is a most unmanIy and brutal
one. We send husbands who beat their
wives to the penitentiary for three or six
months, but / don't know what sentence
could be too severe for young man who
thrashes his sweetheart. She should feel
thankful that she found you out in time.

ever, is her business. The sentence OF
this court is that you be imprisoned in the
county Jail for term of twenty-nine
davs."
Young McElwee cast a despairina
glance at Miss Andrews, who. for her
part, looked as though she wished She had
not insisted upon pressing the charge
against her pugilistie lover. The voufh
blubbered aloud, and tears fell very freely
from the blue eyes Of the pretty maiden.
They looked at each other for a moment.

THRILLING ALLHIs CUSTOMERS.
A Paterson Baker Announces that His
Last Batch of Bread was Poisoned.

A Paterson Baker Announces that His
Last Batch of Bread was Poisoned.
A well-known German baker of Pater-
son, n. j., named Richard Werner, ere
ated decided sensation Friday, says the
New York San, by going around to his
customers and warning them not to eat
any of the bread he had served the day
before, as it was all poisoned. Most OF
the bread had already been eaten, with,
out any serious effects, but as soon as the
parties heard the story many began to
feel pains in the stomach and grow pale.
They sent for their family physicians.
There is no telling what would have been
the result had not Werner subsequently,
again gone over his round warning his
customers that the devil was in their bread
and they had better look out for him.
Then it was discovered that Werner had
suddenly gone crazy.
His relatives say that for the past two
or three years, during the time he ought
to have devoted to sleep, he has pursued
the study of the subjects of Socialism and
Communism, and he has been considered
weak-minded, at least upon those matters
His friends took him in charge, but he
will no doubt have to be sent to the asy.
lum. Previous to his taking up the study
of Socialism he was a deYOut church
member, but he became a cynic, and
would not allow any of the members Of
his family to 20 to church. He is man
weighing nearly 800 pounds, and owns
considerable property.

CONGRESSMAN BUDD's CAREER.
How lie Advertised Himself Into Con-

Budd is the name of bright young
Congressman from California; says
Washington letter, who has fine head of
hair and fine brown beard, such as the
old masters gave the Saviour in their best
works. Budd, they tell me, is pining for
the genial climate of California, and does
not care to come back here again. although
he could do so easily, and is the only
Democrat who could. Budd lived in a
district which people had come to believe
was owned by Page, the stage driver, who
had forced his way through politics into
Congress very much as he used to force
his coach over rough places on the. road.
Page was neck deep in the star route
business, and was Chairman be-

OF the Commerce Committee which
brought in the river and harbor bill that
President Artuhr vetoed. | don't know

be series of jokes, practical and theO-
retical. 1t seemed fitting that it should
be crowned in this way with stupendous
piece of humor. Budd laughed with the

RUSSO-GERMAN FRIENDSHIP.
Its Illustration in the Discussion of tho
Egyptian Conference.

PARIS, June IA Vienna correspon-
dent says that there are symptoms of a
break up of the triple alliance since the
interviews between NJ. De Giers, the Rus.
sian Minister Of Foreign Affairs, and
Prince Bismarck at Friedrichsruhe. The
mutual CoCfidence Of the courts at Berlin
and Vienna are ceasing. Indications OF
a secret entente cordiale between Russia
and Germany are found in the bril-
liant style in which Prince William
Of Prussia went on his mission to st. Pc

cOurtesles, IN the warmth of the welcome
Emperor William gave the CZarina
when she was passing through Berlin,

tween Emperor William and the Gar of

that it is reported that Prince William of
Prussia, during his visit in St. Petersburg,
arranged a project for a marriage between

Honors to DIR. Koch and the Physicians
who Accompanied Him to India.
A vote Of 1876, 600 marks, says the Herald,
has been unanimously granted to the doc
tors who have risked their lives in their
brave and thorough investigation of the
causes from which the cholera is sup
posed to spring, and that, too, in its most
unhealthy hOtbeds among the swamps of
India. The hero of the hour at Berlin at
present, is DR.. Koch, the President of the
commission, who has just returned from
India, where he has discovered the
cholera germ. He studied medicine at
Gottingen, and afterward pursued his
microscopic studies of bacteria at Breslau
under Prof. Cohn. Geheimer Rath Koch
some time as a conscientious and aecu-
rate observer, but to the non-scientitic
world his name was unknown until his
discovery of the cholera germ. 1t now
promises to be as famous as that of Jen-
ner or Harvey. DR.. Koch is to receive
100000 marks and the remainder will be
divided between his two assistants and
the analytical chemist who accompanied
the party. The grand banquet in their
honor took place on the 18th of May, in
the Central Hotel, Berlin. They had a
special audience with the Emperor, and
were lately at a dinner given on their ac-
count by the Minister of the Interior.
Germany has in former years suffered
much and frequently from Visitations Of
the cholera; it is therefore easy to COM
prehend with what feelings Of gratitude
and thankfulness any one must be regard
ed who can really help to ward off the in-
roads Of the disease.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-William Wal

dollars into the Southern delegate sieve in
the past ten days. He acted as the bank
er Of the project for the conversion of Ar
thur delegates into Blaine delegates. He
only succeeded in defraying the expenses
Of some of these Arthur delegates to Chi

sharp Arthur coOred man from LOuisi-

so much that he attracted the attention of
both the Arthur and the Blaine men. He
sGOn convinced the Arthur men that he
was not q Blaine man. Then they
drilled him in a story and sent him up to
Blaine. He was to say that he was
% Blaine man, but that he thought he
could labor for Blaine most effectively bv
seeming to labor for Logan. Blaine lis
tened attentiYely and then gave him
note to Logan, in which he was described
as a trustworthy man. The Arthur men
have a copy Of that note. Logan was
glad to see him. He listened to pleasant
story of what the Louisiana man could
do, but the Louisiana man said that he
was poor. He was not able even to paw
his way to Chicago. Logan said that he
was poor, but there was his friend, Will
liam Walter Phelps, political phian-
thrOpist of large means, who was i'm the
transportation business. Armed with a
note from Logan the Louisiana man went
to Phelps. Phelps gave him 800. He
showed it to the Arthur men and then
went on his way to Chicago rejoicing.

BORN DEAF AND DUNE.
But Talks and Converses Easily.

But Talks and COnverseS Easily.
The most remarkable case of deaf-mute
speaking in this country, and, perhaps,
in the whole world, says the New London
Conn.,, Bay, is that of Enoch Whipple,
nearly 60 years old, who resides at Led
yard. This deafman possesses quick per-
ceptions, with fine intellect. He meets
and converses with strangers, and they
never mistrust that he is deaf. The only
serious difficulty he encounters is a NOUS
tache which hides the mouth. He has
some trouble at evening time, especially
when the face is shaded so that be cannot
plainly see the movement of the lips. 1t
is then he spends much of his time read
ing, often orally, to his family or invited
friends. AT mass grove peace meeting
held at Mystic riyernearly two years ago,
he was introduced from the platform, and
spoke to an astonished audience of over
5000 people, who listened to the words of
one who was born deaf and dumb. MIR.
Whipple, of the Whippie school at Mystic
river, tells some amusing anecdotes about
himself He once met a stranger near his
home who asked him if there was deaf
mute in that neighborhood who had been
taught to speak; and he replied, 81 am
the man of whom you speak, and you can
judge for yourself" He was once con-
versing with a lady who did not know he
was deaf. Her face being shaded by her
bonnet, he had to get very near in order
to see her mouth. She, mistaking his
motives for rudeness, hurriedly left him
standing alone. They afterwards became
well acquainted, and had many a laugh
over the incident of the long sunbonnet.
Mr.. Whipple married a very estimable
lady, and she talks with him apparently
with as much ease as she would were his
hearing perfect.
