If James is acquitted in Alabama on the Mus
sci Shoals robbery count, he will have to be tried
up at Mortified, MINI. but think he, will be
acquitted there without q doubt. Thew could
not convict him without the testimony of the
Youngers, and no matter what inducements
might be offered, the prosecution would not be
able to getthem to turn recreant to their old
comrade. Cole Younger is wonderful man in
ciates is something remarkable. During his
long incarceration in the Saltwater, Mimi,
penitentiary he has never let slip sing word
fortunate survivors of the gangs disastrous
raid. He is man of extraordinary courage
man who had any in
fuence whatever over Jessie James. Mr.. WAL
lace, the prosecuting attorney of jackson
county, told me a story illustrative of this.
One night, he said, the Jameses, Youngers,
and other members of the original band were
versation turned upon certain party, and the
result of a discussion of his recent doings was
the announcement by Jesse James that he
intended to hunt him up and kill him. None
Of the party, apparently, had any objections,
his murderous errand had died away, Cole
Younger quietly left the house, mounted his
horse, and followed. He caught up with jesse
and after ride of a few miles, stopped him
and said: Jesse, I want you to come back
home with me- Not till I've killed
-, was the answer. ''But you must not kill
him" Cole insisted, quietly, but with deter
mination that Jesse understood thoroughly. II
am going to kill that,man," Jesse answered,
wheeling his horse around and letting his right
hand fall upon tho holster containing his pis-

give some good reason Cole wby shouldn't )"
II give no reason, JESSE" said Cole, preparing
for what looked like an inevitable conflict. eff
you are bound to kill that man, you and I must
have it out first right here" The two despor-
ate men looked into one another's eyes for a
few moments and then Jesse turned his horses
head homeward remarking as they began to
gallop back together, 'Iguess you mean what
you say, Cole, let's go home"

naoustrous British Defalcation.

The crash and scandal attending the fight OF
fashionable solicitors, Messrs. Parker, prove
worse and worse upon investigation Both
members of the firm lived in sumptuous style.
Their clients we're from the wealthiest and
most aristocratic families of London and other
parts Of England, and the CONSERVATION was
Widespread when it was announced Oh March
5 that both members of the firm had fled, after
ing to their clients, and borrowing various
sums then reported to aggregate s2,5M, ooC
The total liabilities of the firm were shown
to amount to So, 800 900, while the assets were
virtually nothing. Less than onc-third of the
liabilities were secured and the rest will have
a total loss, bringing absolute financial ruin in
many cases. The indignation among the cred
itors is at fever heat and the sensation has had
no parallel since the failure of Morris Ranger,
the Liverpool cotton king. 1t is reported that
several bankers shared in the stock specula-
tons of the Parkers, using their depositor's
money and hoping to returnit out of the profits

Sad Fate of a Countess.

London Special Monaco has a CHASTITY SEN

A st, Louis Darkev in Calcutta,

A letter from Hon. j. F. Swift of San
Francisco, dated at Calcutta, India,
Jan. 10, says:
By the way, there is circus company
playing here now, and one of it's chief
attractions consists of a son of the great
Zulu king, Cetawayo. He is called
young Cetawayo"; sometimes on the
bills is posted up as Prince Cetawayo."
He has band of African lions, five in
number, most ferocious brutes, which
he claims to have captured in Zululand
and brought over here as q sort OF lord
ly or kingly sport. He is showing now
in Wilson's circus, and does certainly do
the lion tanning business in splendid
style. Van Amburg could not approach
Prince Cetawayo in making lions per-
form. He comes out appareled as an
African Prince, splendid and fierce be-
yond description. He makes
the monarch of brutes
Jump through burning hoops and over
flaming walls, and all that sort of thing
wonderful to behold. The circus is
near my hotel, and few days ago I
dawdled around there in the forenoon,
strolled into the circus ground, which
is on the great open square of Calcutta,
known as the MADAM" There was
baby elephant standing tied to post
which interested me, and I played with
the gentle thing for some time. AS 1
turned away I observed negro man
dressed in European clothes, lettering
about near by. He reminded me at
the first glance of Uncle Jake's boy
Whack so strongly that l couldn't help
speaking to him. AS got nearer he
looked more like Whack than ever. It
just seemed to me that if he should
speak at all it would be to say: ''Mas'r
Frank, you hain't got AIRY single dime
about you JUS now, have you?" But he
did not speak. He seemed, on the con-
trary, to look shy and disconnected as I
approached him, and to look furtively
around for a place to sneak away to.
But I was bound not to let that niger
escape me, for while he looked much
like Whack, he also looked, save as to
dress, which was all Whack, very much
like young Cetawayo, the son of the
Zulu king That it was either Whack
or young Cetawayo felt sure, and as
Whack was older OF dead, I thought I
would try him on the African prince, so
I satin to him: "Look here! amt you
Prince Cetawayo?" The negro looked
confused, and he answered.: "Dat's
what dey calls me on dem hand-bills
for sho. Dey amt no gettin' around
dat, mas'r. I amt a-goin' to deny dat
sab, I amt" "What part of Missouri
are you from?" said I, without giving
him time to think. ."St. Louis, sab"
said he, rather hesitatingly. II Thought
ESQ.," said I. what was your masters
name?" "W-was his name," an
swered Prince Cetawayo; he lived at
about Sixteenth and Carr. It was true
enough, and greeted him as country
man. It is wonderful how small the
world is getting isn't it?

The story is told of a doctor in New
York that he said to mcsmerist that
mesmerism was humbug. The mes.
merist touched the doctor on the nose
and told him it would grow cold and
not get warm until he asked to have the
cold spell removed. He laughed; and
went away, but it was noticed that he
kept feeling his nose on the sly. Then
he asked man if there was anything
wrong with his nose, and it wasn't an
hour until he went to the mesmerist
and asked him to remove she spell, as
bis nose felt as If it were freezing.
