An Attempt nt Robbery Oh tho b. and p.
Road.

Officer Kesrney, at the Baltimore and
Potomac railroal depot stated last evening
that he had received information through
several train employees of bold attempt at
highway robbery on that road by crooks
from this city. 1t appears from the state
ments that a gentleman from Philadel-
phia camo to this city aud drew
men followed him and entered the same car.
When tho train reached Wilmington one of
them grabbed satchol containing the amount
from his hand and threw it out Of the window
to his confederate and two other parties who
were in waiting. The owner of the satchel
sprang out upon the platform, drew his
robbers. BY this time crowd began to
collect and the highwaymen fed, leaving the
satchel behind. A brakesmsn on the train
captured the overcoat of one of the gang, and
it will be used as means of Identification.

THE TENDERFoor MINER.

Pctrifed Horse.
"a horse2 Great heavens, how did it get
there ?" We were all seated about the fire
in Duncan McCowan's cabin, says letter
from New Mexico to the Denver Tribune, and
some one-I cant't say who-was explaining
to rich young man fresh from one of those
eastern schools Of technology that annually
spawns on a defenseless world its shoals of
mining experts"-some ono was explaining
that in the Little Buck mine, which is Nc
Cowan's property, aud ono of the best in this
camp, tho workmen, while eXplo iting the
vein at a depth Of 100 feet or so, had struck
one of those frequent distractions techni-
cally known as horse.
There was present the pale, rich youth,
trying to look rough in q suit of brown vel
vet and pair of high top $50 boots, with his
yellow hair scrupulously banged on his
"alabaster brow" and an exquisite etruscan
pin in his scarf
"A horsew reiterated the expert; "now,
that's wonderful-was he deadP

Magee had been talking to him-"why, man,
it was stone"
"Aw, ya-as, see, petrhed you have the
upper cretaceous formation here, and petri-
factions abound in that everywhere. In
Colorado, now, they find most wonderful

me that 1 over heard of anything so very
wonderful as a petrfed horse and, le'me
see, was not that period-some 100000 or
100000 years back, i think it is held by
geologists to be-was not that long anterior
to the advent of the equine species? Ya-as,

Msloney, who is deveut Catholic, and
never drinks anything stronger than brandy,
had made the sign Of the cross when "the ex-
pert" began. The rest of the company cast
turtive glances of amazement at each other,
and were silent. No one had the hardihood
to outrage "the experts" conceit by explain
ing that "horse" is only an interru ption Of
the mineral vein by mass of the surround
ing rock, but as the fun seemed drawing to n
close by tho doubt that had arisen in tho
youths mind, Maloney leaned forward (he
looked as if he were strangling aud there
were tears in his eyes) and said, earnestly,
indeed, almost pathetically: Don't you
think it may be q species of seahorsc that
got left in the soft mari when this was
a soashore?"
Possibly quite possibly" answered the
expert with great assurance. ~ shall look
at 1t tomorrow. Don't let it get defaced.

Beware Of the vidd.r..p

Mr.. bud. Mobley Of Coffee county,

Weller's advice to "beware of the vid-
ders." Mrs, Judy McCook, a sprightly
widow, cast web Of fascination over
Mr.. bud and made him believe that she
loved him and would marry him.. Ditto
Mr.. Bird Mobley. Arrangements for
on early wedding were made by both
parties, and Mr.. Ps-i Mobley, to keep
things quiet, asked his betrothed to
meet him ct q certain point on the
Ocmulgee River and they would get
married. Meantime the other sutton
had his suspicious aroused, and at once
went to the house where the lady re-
sided and besought her to come out and
wed him. The lady shut herself up
and refusedsthei nvitation. The disap-
pointed wooer sat by the door, waiting
fol. day and his doom, but, to his sor-
row, when day came the house was
searched, Mrs. McCook was wanting,
and later information leaked out that
she had escaped through a window,
went to the river, and married Bird
Mobley according to promise.

Washington Letter.

A great fuss is being kicked up be,
cause some of the ladies at the White
House reception wore extremely low
necked dresses. That they do appear
in costume very much abbreviated from
the neck down there is no sert of dis
pute. That the wearers Of these low
necked costumes are well favored and
pleasing TO look upon, 4 have heard nc
one-at least no gentleman-complain.
1t is my belief that the uproar has been
created by some of the lean and hungry
ladies' who could not safely presume to
appear in similar rig, and that they have
communicated their opposition to decol.
lete costumes to sympathizing lady cor
respondents. That would be enough.
1t ought to be said that the wearers OF
the lowest dresses and the possessors OF
the busts that are really worth exposing
to a curious public, are the ladies of the
foreign legations. It is sometimes en-
barrassing to be obliged to stand by one
Of these charming; creatures, as she sits

No wonder the working classes are be-
ginning to feel dissatisfied. The more
the facts are scrutinized the greater will
the injustice appear. Twenty-eight
dukes in the United Kingdom possess
one'hundred andfifty.eight separate3es-
ttates, comprising nearly fonr million
acres. The other members of the peer.
age four hundred and ninety-seyen in,
number, hold one Thousand four hum
dred and thirty-fve separate estates,
embracing about ten million acres. OF
thirty three million acres in England
,andaWales, more than seventeen mil
hon acres are owned by q
body of men~which probably does
not exceed four thousand five hundred.
According 70 Hon. George Brodrick,
sS"hoSA VI MOrIpH OOlleHe, OA1OEQ,
nearly half the incldsed land Of England
and Wales is owned by abcut two hum
dred and fifty persons. The largest
landed proprietor amongst the peers Is
the duke of Sutherland, who owns more
than q million acres. His rent roll, how.
ever, is not as large as that Of some
peers with much less property; his in.
come from land amounting TO only 1885,
s75, while thu. Of the Marquis 81 Butte,
who owns only one hundred and sixteen
thousand acres, is considerably over Z
million dollars. The Dukeo Of Bucclauch
comes second to the Duke Of Suther-.
land in number Of. acres md second to
the Marquis Of Butte in size OF income.
His land comprises four hundred and
ffty-nine Thousand five hundred and
fifty acres, and his rent roll is about IL
10O. 900. The Duke Of N~orth,cnmber.
lands rent rollranks next, being $780,
600 and next to him comes the Duke OF
Devonshire, with about $25, 600 less.
The Earlof Derby and Earl Fitzwil.-

to about $70D, 600. Altogether there
are ten peers who each receive over
$50O,OO0a year from land.

ans are there, o dozen. of them, who

while he is,like them, Knight Command
Ell of tho Provincial Order of st.

than that. Heis knight Commander Of

Sham .sDptsessto To- sceistyssg

It is a wise and suggestive sayingt that
the Wilkie Collins puts in HE mouth of
one Of his characters: that one may live
comfortably on certain income named,
provided that she sdoesnot owe tlutieS
to society," How many q piece of ex-t
travagance is excused and glossedsSover
with the plea that really one is obliged
to do this or that-that it wouldn't look
well not to, etc. But who is really de-
ceiyed by the excuseso or the gfooiishf Mt
itself? There are homes that IRE made
wretched through this notion Of duty to
society which conflicts with duty to the
family. Ii every woman looked faith
fully to her work at home, lived within
her means, attended 10 eachrea obliga-
ton, there would be fewer disconnected
women vainly seeking for an outlet for
their surplus energy.-New York Post.
