Walking slowly ,homeward, one raw
November evening, breeding over his
SORROWS rs was his wont, the sound Of
childish laughter Smotc on his ear.
With pang in hts bosom, he raised
his eyes To the building opposite. Tke
blinds were open, and within was a
picture that riveted his attention and
brought tears To his eyes. Nothing

nashlnr aside the tears that would
come, he hurried on. 4 solitary meal
followed and then 20 once more
sauntered out onto the street. The
winds blew more tiercely and the cold
was becoming more intense. An &C.
casional flake of snow was whirled
into his face, then as suddenly snatch
ed away. The night acc rded with
his mood and he almost laughed to
himself as the tempest increased.
Il shall go mad nj this rate, he
muttered at last and turned home
ward. \ sudden rift IN the clouds
flooded the earth with pale moon
light as he gained the gateway. A
dark object on the doorstep attracted
his attention. Bending down he saw
the white, apparently inanimate face
of a young girl. Her bonnet had
fallen off and the long jetty tresses
fell like mantle to her waist. Almost
reverently he lifted her into the house
and summoned Mrs. Kay (the house
keeper.) Some good for nothing
tramp, she grumbled SIS she grudging-
ly applied restoratives. AT length the
dark mournful eyes opened and the
blue lips moved.

accents that startled even the hard

Warren Vernon was man of most
tender, sympathetic nature, and his
own sorrow made him feel for others.
Pityingly he watched her desperate
movements. For time she seemed
utterly unconscious of all surround-
ings save the plate of food and fruit
before her.

Painted Wind from Far Dakota.

The hottest place in Chicago Sunday
was the Grand Pacific Hotel. The ro-
tunda and corridors were filled with per.
spring politicians, all buttonhoIing each
other and talking like men on quarter-
stretch. The Blame headquarters had
been removed to one of the ordinary din
ing rooms of the hotel. Badges and news
papers containing accounts of the life of

of every visitor. Occasionally a sur
charged orator mounted the tables and
deluged the crowd with spread-eagle eIo-
quence. One of these orators was Mr.. J.

EnO's classmate at Yale. When he was

him where he was from.

Bad Man to Marry-The Horse Whip as

The latest marriage in the monde artis-

band is man named ..,;uIlar. q viii
, ~rvr, ana this IA net the. first time that
he has had to do with 1ion-tamers. His
first wife was certain Nine. Lecuyer.
well known in all the travelling shows
and fairs of France as an adept in that
line, and as her husband had some money
they were able to mount a menagerie of
wild beasts on a scale that had never be-
fore been seen by the public Of the prov
lnces. The success of the show
was very great, and this fact
made Madame Boiler Lecuyer
so proud that she became unbearable and
rendered her husbands lot anything but a
happy one. When he Yentured to re-
mOnstrate she would answer that she was
the man of the house, that he was worse
than rs IS, as he did not even dare to
venture into the monkeys cage. To this
argument B0ulier could make no answer,
but one day when the 'Queen of the
Lions" as his wife called herself on the
bills, so far forgot herself as to box his
ears he picked up horse whip and went
for her. Surprised at this turn of affairs
the ''queen" sought refuge in cage con-
tanning three lions, but when she turned
round to taunt her husband and dare him
to follow her a cry of astonishment
broke from her lips. Carried away
by his anger Boulder had forgotten
his usual timidity and, whip in hand, had
followed her into the cage, where Ire pro-
ceeded to administer such a vigorous
horsewhipping to his better half that even
the animals were oyerawed and retired
into one corner. When he had worked off
his anger by this vigorous process, Bou-
lier began to look about him. ''HellOv'
he exclaimed, 'EWhy l am a lion-tamer
also; these animals are afraid of me-"
From that day he regularly accompanied
his wife into the cages, and never did one
of their beasts dare to turn on him, while |
to the end of her days he kept his wife IN
a wholesome subsection by liberal use
of the whip. When the "queen" died BOu- |
lier retired from the profession, but acct /
dent led him to the FOire aux pains |
d'epices few weeks ago, and there he |
was so struck with Mile. Nouma Hawa's |
exhibition that he secured an introduce /
ton, which was followed by an offer of |
his heart, hand and fortune.

AN Ohio court has decided that g
railroad company which discriminates
against one patron and in favor of an
other in the matter of freight charges
may be held to account for it under the
common law; or, in other words, that a
statute is not necessary to give the
courts authority to compel railroad
company to carry goods at uniform
prices for all persons. This is a some
what novel view; but it is not to be dis
missed on that account as an unsound
one. The common law covers a good
deal of ground, and it's relations to the
railroad business may be more definite
and practical than is generally under

A SENSATION PROMISED.

TORONTO, Ont, Dec. 24.-During last
winter and spring number of incen-
diary fires occurred in Georgetown and
vicinity, the sufferers being chiefly Off
GERS charged with executing the pro-
visions of the Scott temperance act.
Suspicion pointed to the notorious
Francis Sidey, belonging to Syracuse,
n. T., who confded to another party
that he had done the work at the insti-
cation of the liquor dealers. Sidey,
believing him unsafe, went to the
states. Government detectives got in
formation of his return last week and
succeeded in arresting him yesterday at
Lindsay. They took him to Oakville to-
day where he was indicted. He is
wanted at Cobourg and other places.
Should he turn Queens evidence, as ex-
pected, there will be a sensation.

DULUTH'S WHEAT TRADE.

DULUTH, Mimi, Dec. 24.-At a meet
ing of the stockholders OF the Lake
Superior Elevator Company, in this
city, yesterday, it was definitely decided
TO build another elevator at Duluth for
the business of the coming year, with a
capacity of 100000 bushels. It is IN
derstood the Union Improvement and
Elevator Company will also build an
other of 100000 bushels capacity.
The erection of thee elevators has
been rendered absolutely necessary by
the proportions which the grain trade
at Duluth has assumed, and by reason
of the fact that the trade is increasing
so rapidly. Large transactions now
take place on change daily, and many
new members have recently joined the
Board of Trade. That Duluth is rap
idly coming to the front as a wheat
market is shown be the fact that during
the past season she shipped very nearly,
if not fully, as much wheat as Chicago,
and that she already has in store for
winter storage 100000 bushels, and
will have 100000 bushels in all.
When the new houses are completed,
her capacity will be 100000 bushels.

Naval HerOines.
from Notes and Queries. I

(From Notes and Queries.J
In 1912 her majesty's ship Swallow
fought two French vessels off Frejus.
It was on June Is, and after a most OBJ
stinate action she succeeded in driving
them both in under the batteries of the
town. The following anecdote, as mar
rated by one of the officers of the Swal-
low, is told at some length in the Naval
Chronicle, xviii, 1856: "In the gallant
and sanguinary action there was sea-
man named Phelan. who had his wife
on board. She was statioDed-as is
usual when women are on board in time
of battle--to assist the surgeon in the
care of the wounded. From the close
manner in which the Swallow engaged
the enemy, yardarm and yardarm, the
wounded, as may be expected, were
brought below very fast; among the
rest, messmate of her husband ICON
sequently her OWN, who had received
musket-ball through the side. Her ex-
ertions were used to console the poor
fellow who was in great agonies and
nearly breathing his last, when by some
chance she heard her husband was
wounded on deck. Her anxiety and
already overpowered feelings could not
one moment be restrained; she rushed
Instantly on deck and received the
wounded tar in her arms. He family
raised his head to kiss her; she burst
into food of tears, and told him to take
courage, all would yet be well,' but
scarcely pronounced the last syllable
when an ill-directed shot took her head
off. The poor tar, who was closely
wrapped in her arms, opened his eyes
once more, then shut them forever. =
Phelan and his wife were
sewed up in one hammock, and, it is
needless to say, buried in one grave. :"
The narrator adds to the pathos of the
above story, telling how, only three
weeks before, a fine boy had been born
to them, and how poor Tommy Jared
until they put into Port Mahon. The
sailors agreed she should have hun
dred fathers, but what could be the sub
stitute for a nurse and a mother ?"
Happily, there was a maltese goat on
board which proved as tractable and
faithful to its charge as the immortal
dumb foster-mother of Roman story.
In Rodney's battle with De Guichen off
the Pearl rock, Martinique, April II,
1880, there was woman on board the
Sandwich, Rodney's flagship, who
"foughta twenty FOUNDER gun, and
afterward attended the whole night up
on the wounded men,"

Gently sued the young man she had

Everything went well. Her attorney

THE SILVER AGITATION.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The agitation
of the silver question is having de-
pressing effect III all financial circles,
and the banks are becoming somewhat
alarmed at the threatened decline in the
price of silver and consequently of the
value of the silver certificates. The
banks in this city hold to-day enormous
amounts of silver certificates, upon
which it is feared. they can scarcely
realize full value unless a measure
passes Congress for relief in the shape
of the withdrawal of the 81 and So
notes from circulation and the suspen-
sion of the coinage of the silver dollar.
The people are only interested in
convenient and staple currency, con-
sequ 51ltly the banks will win, and some
thing similar to Buckner's bill will be-
come law before the adjournment of
this session. Yet. the bankers are
greatly concerned lest this relief shall
not be promptly forthcoming and the
state of suspense is annoying. The
fact that silver dollar is worth in the
markets to-day only IS cents in gold
would seem to point to the urgency of
some legislation in the premises.
Buckner's bill will come before the
committee on weights and measures
January 7, and the committee is hostile
towards 1t.

LIEUT.. SCHwATKA thinks Alaska is q
good Investment for the United States.
1t already pays nearly 5 per cent. inter
est on the purchase money of 81, 100000,
and it has great future before it. The
coast line is greater than that of all The
rest of the United States; its chief river
would reach from Salt Lake to New
York Bay; and, in short, this explorer
thinks that Alaska has an inexhaustible
store of timber in the south and facili-
ties on the Aleutian Island to furnish
beef for score of San Franciscos." In
other words, Alaska is a bonanza.
