LONDON, April s.-Despite the painfully

cles in the papers about the Duke OF Al.
bany the truth with regard to the circum.
stances Of his death is creeping out. II is
now universally acknowledged that the
prince is dead because be was allowed, for
the first time in his life, TO go out alone on
spree. Intoxicated with his unusual
freedom and accustomed all his life 10 re.
volt against the idea that he was an invalid
he lived as fast as be could, danced fur.
iously, stayed up all night, drank pretty
freely, and so brought on fatal iii OF that
epilepsy from which he suffered all his
life. Lsbouchere, in Truth, is the only
Journalist who tells even little OF the
real facts, and goes so far as to express re:
gret that the sickly prince was ever allowed
TO mary. Society is quietly laughing in its
sleeves over the Cstentatious woe OF the
Prince Of Wales, as it is notorious that he
rather disliked his brother.

Struggle In the House.
WASHINGTON, April S.-A fierce contro-
versy is anticipated in the House over the
pending propositions declaring the forfeit
ure Of railroad land grants. The bill, which
provides for the forfeiture OF about:thirty-
seven million acres of the Northern Pacific
grant, will probably create the most bitter
contest, and it is thought long debate will
ensue on this proposition. 1t is not only
the most important of the forfeitures, but
involves more legal questions than do the
others. The consideration Of the bill de-
claripg the forfeiture of the grant to the
Oregon Central railroad may be resumed
Thursday, unless crowded over by the
Keifer- Boynton report, which Mr.. Hopkins,
Of Pennsylvania, will endeavor to have
considered.

CHICAGO, April S.-Mrs. Anna Schock,
arrested two months ago at the instance OF
the Humane Society, is on trial in the
Criminal Court for alleged cruelty to
children under her charge in the Home"
at La Grange, near this city. The inmates
numbered about twenty and ranged from
six to fourteen years of age. A number
were left at the Home by INDECENT

largely by public subscriptions. The
prosecution offered the testimony OF the
attending physician and former
employees which teRded to show
that the children were almost totally un.
cared for, that the Home" was horribly
filthy, and that the basement where the
children were compelled to pass the great

stable for a COW. One witness declared the

The ClOister.

The cloister was really the living.
place of the monks. Here they pur-
sued their daily avOcatiOns, here they
taught their schools, they transacted
their business, they spent their time and
pursued their studies, always in society,
cooperating and consulting. and. as a
rule, knowing no privacy. But a monk
always Lived in a cell!' / think you
will be inclined to object. The sooner
YOU get rid OF that delusion the better.
Until Henry II. founded the Carthusian
Abbey of Witham, in 117S, there was no
such thing known in England as
monks cell, as we understand the term.
1t was a popularity of the Carthusian
order. and when it was first introduced
it was regarded as startling novelty
for any privacy or anything approach
ing solitude to be tolerated in mon
astery. The Carthusian system never
found much favor in England. The
Carthusians never had more than nine
houses all told; the discipline was too
rigid, the rule too severe. the loneliness
too dreadful for our tastes and for our
climate. In the thirteenth century, II
mistake not, there were only two mon
as.eries ir England in which monks or
nuns could boast of having any privacy,
any little corner of their own to turn
into, any place where they could en- osr
the luxury of retirement, any private
study such as every boy nowadays, in
school OF any pretension, expects to
have provided for himself, and without
which we assume that nobody could
read and write for an hour. Ninete%sA

A Good, Healthy Snake Story.

In North Carolina there is reptile
known as the joint snake. When at
tackled it flies in pieces, each piece TAX
ing care of itself. A darky attacked
one of them the other day, and to his
utter amazement it broke all up, each
section jumping off in different di-
rection. In the course of an hour he
returned that way and was utterly
amazed again to see it all together ex-
cept the tail piece. After waiting few
minutes he saw the tail coming up to
Join the body, taking sharp. quick little
Jerks. It came nearer and nearer until
within a few inches of the three-quar-
ter snake, when it gave sudden jump
and hitched on in its proper place with
fuss resembling the popping OF cap:
The darkey knocked it 70 pieces several
times, and each time it came together
again. He carried his amusement too
far, however, in throwing the tail part
of the snake across the creek. just to
see, he said, chow long it would take
it to catch up but it never caught up.
The snake, with its three joints. was
carried to the house, where new tail is
beginning to grow to replace the lost
one. A gentleman who knows much
about tn s singular species says head
will grow ON the detached trunk, and
there will be two snakes instesd OF one.
