A Timbuctoo Slave on Sale.

This girl was brought in by the Mo-
rocco gate, on the road from the City o'
Morocco. She was comedy of face and
figure, with large, dreamy, lovely eyes,
and streaming, long, black hair. He1
color was of the olivian type, which
showed the red blood coursing in the
veins. She was of medium hight, and
aged about 16 years. Four old Arat
dealers" CARRIED in all the glitter and
tinsel Of the Orient, guarded this girl
as if she were an Amazon of strength
and prowess. One old Arab in loud
voice cried out her merits and nation
al1ty as the group passed on to the cen
ter of the town.. Hating, the whole
party were suddenly surrounded by in.
tending buyers, both Christian and Pa
gan. They came up to. the crouchine
girl, pulled her arms to and fro, open:
ed her mouth and looked at her teeth,
made her stand erect and then haggled
over the price. "She worth $780," say
the Arab dealers in one simultaneous
cry. "but will let her go for $50 if you
take her now" Our dragoman trans
lates and tells how she will go to: Egypt

Quite q Row in WinnipeR.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Special: The city hal
been hideous all the evening with the shouts
and noise of an Infatuated mob Thursday, by
order of Attorney General Miller, John McCor-
mick, from Dakota, who was sent to
Jail for eight months for larceny, was
taken out in the jail yard, tied up to
a triangle, stripped, and amidst falling SNOW
logged with cato nine tails because he
made an attempt to escape from the guard
when the latter was not looking. Public In
dignation against Miller was SO great that :, 0OC
citizens assembled Friday night and burned
him in effigy, singing ''Hang Judge Miller to =
sour apple tree" A procession then formed,
marched to the jail, and demanded the person
of Mccormick, but the authorities would not
deliver him. The mob groaned and Kissed for
half an hour, and then went to the govern
ment building and demanded that Miller be
produced. Premier Norquay came out and adj
dressed the crowd, saying the government
would give proper account of it's position tc
the public in few days, when the blame would
be put on the proper shoulders. The crowd
howled for Miller, but it was announced that
he had fled the city in the afternoon. He was
seen to take train for st. Vincent, Mimi
Friday evening, when the mob was at the gov.
eminent building, military, with fixed bayonets,
marched up and attempted to dispense the
crowd without success

Why the Play Was interrupted

From the Cambridge (Md) Chronicle.
Some OF the nice children in the ave.
nue. recently proposed to surprise their
parents with dramatic performance,
with the distinct understanding that nc
adult was to witness q rehearsal or to
ask about the nature of the play, writ
ten by young miss of ten years.. who
was to assume the roll of heroine, as
sisted by lad of the same age. On the
night of the performance the parents OF
the children assembled in the front
drawing room. of one of the large resi-
dences and waited for the drawing aside
of the portieres with commendable pa
tience. The first act represented the
wedding of the hero and heroine and
the departure of the former to the wilds
of the west, where he was to reap his
fortune in raising cattle and mining.
This went off finely, and the portieres
were closed with loud burst of ap-
plause. A lapse of ten years was sup
posed to have passed between the first
and second acts, and when the latter
commenced the young husband had re-
GuTu0u, Auu Ills W11S, uOV ACOh4uSo uoJ
older, greeted her spouse in a formal
manner, and even asked him to remain
and dine with her, which he consented
to do. While seated at the table eating
ice cream the husband told how he had
ioiled for her wealth and acquired mill
ons, all for the sake of the dear wife he
left behind. This had such an effect
on the matron that she finished the ice
cream, sighed-to think there were n.
more on the table, and then addressed
her husband speaking earnestly and
firmly. "You> have done WE'LL" she
said, "but while you have been at work
T have not been idle. You. shall see
what I have accomplished" She
touched a bell, and q uninterrupted
bonnie entered the room leading a tod
ding infant. > year old, and followed
by nine others Of various ages, one for
each year of q married life. The actors
to this day do not understand why the
play was interrupted by shouts of
laug hter and applause from the fathers
and mothers who were present. AT
any rate, they say the play was = sue
cess, but the parents think it little
Frenchy in construction and plot.

The following case was related to me
by Bishop of the Church of England
There was man who had officiated as
clergyman in large town for about
fifteen years. At the lapse of that
time it was accidentally discovered that
he was an imposter. A new Bishop
came, or the man went into anew diocese;
anyhow, the request came that he would
produce his letters of orders. Letters
of orders are rather precious and re-
markable documents; if once they are
lost they cannot be replaced. The
pseudo clergyman replied, expressing
his great regret that, in the course of .
removal, the letters had been hopeless
~ mislaid, but hoped that the length
of time during which be had served in
the diocese would be considered a
sufficient voucher. The Bishop wrote
back to say that he regretted
the loss Of the letters of orders, and
that it would be quite sufficient if he
gave exact dates, which would enable
him to refer to the diocesan registry.
The imposture then became known. It
was a matter of great anxiety to settle
what had best be done under such cir
cumstances. OF course very large
number of marriages had been per-
formed during these Is years not one of
which was legal. The first suggestion
was that an act should be passed max
ing these marriages legal. There were
objections to this course It was consid-
cred that an immense deal of pain would
ho causad nv tho prih1icafio,1 of tho ;nva
idity of these marriages, and that pecul
lar hardships would be done in the case
of children, where one or both of the
parents had died in the meantime, On a
certain evening there was solemn dis
cussion between the Bishop of the do
cese and the Home Secretary, the result
of which was communication to the
villainous false clergyman that, if he
left England Immediately and forevef,
proceeding would ne'tbe taken, but that
otherwise he would be prosecuted. -

Arkansas Traveller: ~ . -
An old negro, who lives near Bowling
Green. Ky, decided TO hold. what he
termeda celebration. He went to town
on an errand of preparation, and, going
to Mayor Henry. G. Hines; q large
grocery dealer, said: !.
- "Cap'n; we'se gwine ter haB er sort O
celebration and 'memoration down ter
my house, an my wife what am or
mighty oman airter fashun, sab, want
ed ter cit some O. desc heah blue an

The Mayor did not happen I'd think
that the old fellow meant wax candles,
but, pulling out drawer Of Roman
azre these the kind, .u,ncle2"
:"Yas, sab: yas, de's de kline, I thinks.

'Bleeged ter yer sab: Make dem

The old fellows dining room present:
ed gorgeous display. The Roman
candles were placed on the table in pol
ished sticks stolen from many an old
fashioned household. It was decided
not to light them until all the guests
should arrive. The old woman was an
engraving OF happiness; the old man a
crayon of pride.
The guests had all taken their seats;
when the old man and his wife proceed:
ed to light the wax candles.
"Dese heah wax lights" said the
host, WIZ thought ter be too fine fur e,
niger, but-good Lawd!", q
The room was filed with balls of fire
and, some of the candles ovefturning,
shot directly at the guests: Within
three minutes after the pyrotechnic dis
play began there was not negro with
in sight Of the house. The old man
and his wife stopped ina neighborine

"see what yer's DONE" said the old
fellow, breathing with difficulty. "Tole
yer not ter put on so much style; tole
yer dat de debl had his eye on yer"
Several days afterward the old negro
went into the store and said:

What Ed. Stokes 10 Doing-The
Slayer Of Jim Fisk.

Gath differences of opinion will
always exist as to the extent of provoca-
ton he received from Fisk. Fisk had
become 9 very dangerous man in his
community, and was perfectly unscrup-
ulous about meeting an opponent, and
he had confederated with number of
desperate outlaws and many corrupt
lawyers and judges, who wonld take his
money and use justice itself to punish
his private enemies. He was the pre-
cursor of nearly all the swindlers we
have had for the past fifteen years in
New York. He would seize the prop.
erty of any railroad he could by force,
and break open it's safe and steal fthe
books and papers. He systematically
debauched. the judiciary and took judges
among bis women, of whom he kept
swarm One of these women, whose
jealousy was aroused, turned against
Fisk, and in the effort to send Stokes
to Jail he met that young man while
proceeding into a hotel to meet some
females, and IN few hours the most
notorious character of this country had
passed away.
The feeling in New York against
Stokes WAS tremendous for q while:
and the newspapers of that day, many
of which were subsidized in the inter-
est of Fisk, the employees in many cases
being on his pay lists, turned in and
endeavored to drive Stokes to the gal
lows. Stokes conducted himself during
the different trials with both anxiety and
dignity. His relations with Flsk's wom-
an operated against him in a certain
large class which, did not much regret
Fisk's loss. He paid the penalty, how
ever for these things, and his wife OBJ
tanned a divorce from him. With the
exception of his white hair he preserves
his full bodily strength and health ;.his
skin is of a rather quicksilvery tint, his
eyes are dark and playful, he probably
weighs about 100 pounds, generally
dressed in cool, summer style, and
does not say much of his own reminis-
cences of an exciting nature, and has
apparently made up his mind that GER
tain things are predestined and cannot
be avoided. It is sign of the elastic
nature of this country the way he has
been able to recover certain amount
of friendship and public support, and
finally united himself with one of the
most successful men here and with q
distinguished capitalist.
It is understood that Stokes, after
trying in variety of ways to make mon
ey, met Mr.. Mackey in California, who
liked him for the danger he: had passed,
for the hopeful vision he took of life:
and for his unaffected off-hand man
ners. It was soon rumored that Stokes
had acquired an interest in the Hoffman
house, but this seemed to be denied
for awhile. Then the gorgeous bar
room there was opened, and it was
understood that this belonged to
Stokes. After time it became clear
that Stokes was alarge part of the Hoff-
man house. Almost everybody who
enters there desires to see him, and a
good many want to know him. He takes
life just as it comes, resents nothing,
understands why some people might
have hostility to him and if he gets a
rebuff now and then the probabilities
are that in the course of time the Offend.
ing person will come around and be
paci6ed.

Death Before A Camera.

II suppose" said Cincinnati pho.
tographer toa Tines-Star man, when
was learning my trade in a country
town of this state, had an experience
won't forget until death. The boss
had gone out for days hunt. Bust
ness was slack and he knew the othe,
boy and myself could run the shop. I
had made few tintypes and consider
ed myself natural operator. To run
the gallery for day was bliss, and I
was anxious for a sitter; before 9
o'clock I got everything cleaned up,
bath and plates in order, and sat in the
front window awaiting customers. An
old man came in at II a. m. He was
right from the country; had mud on
his boots, and all the other testimony.
He was 'goin' west to his darters and
wanted picture to take with HIM, you
know I knew all about it and soon
had him in the chair, the iron clamps
behind his ears and the camera gun
aimed at his gray head. He was quite
nervous about something and asked me
to wait. I want my picture drawed of
to look like this he said, as he pulled
tintype of young man from his pock-
et The same pose like, you know
he said, as he told me that it was his
son who had been killed at Stone River.
He was dear good boy, he was said
the old man, with a weak voice and
sigh-'and I'll soon be with him.
II got him in position while he still
held in his hand the dead boys picture.
I went through the usual ceremony,
telling him, All ready now, right still,
and as I took the cloth from the table
turned my back to prevent any en-
barrassment. In thirty seconds said,
THAT will do He moved. You
may rest now,' I said, but he sat still,
and held the precious tintype as il
wrapt in thought. Thinking that he
was deaf, 1 touched him on the should
er. Still he did not move, and I no.
ticed fixed stare in his eyes. He was
dead. He had died in the chair and
had the negative of dying man. OF
course I got help and sent word to his
friends. The doctors said he died of
heart disease. I developed his picture
and started as saw the face of dead
man look at me from the collodion coat
ing. It vas nervous day for me
can tell you, and have always beer
careful with old people.
"Talking about love affairs in photo:
graphs, I had funny experience some
time ago. A woman, handsome and
determined, had picture made hold
ing pistol to her head, as if about to
commit suicide. This she sent to he1
lover, who was probably getting tired
of her. Underneath the picture she
wrote: If you don't I will. He under
stood. It had it's effect, for III two
weeks made group picture Of them
both, and she was attired as bride. !"
"Women have their vagaries, even
for pictures?"
"Well, should say so. To them the
picture of lover is very dear. A young
woman who became infatuated with q
drummer had me print a picture of him
on the flesh or her arm. We can pho
tograph- on flesh very nicely now, and
I made good print I fixed it
thoroughly, and she went away happy
A month later she came back with
bushes and wanted it taken off. Her
lover had turned out to be a married
man, and of course she hated him for
his cruel deception. However, she
wears it yet, as I told her to let it wear
off,"
