MISCELLANY.
THE ORIGINAL /" HoopLums.p

A writer in the San Francisco Examiner
says that the word g hoodlum" is purely
California production, and was coined and
first used in San Francisco In the begin
ming it was far more respectable in its mean
ing and application than at present. The
name was first applied to themselves by an
organization of reputable youngsters, mainly
sons OF gentlemen. Every one knows the
tendency and habits of boys, especially in
cities and towns, Of segragatine themselves
INTO gangs and running together in special
crowds. These gangs, or crowds, generally
have local bounds, take names from their
locality or other circumstances, and often
adopt among themselves signs and signals
by which to know or summon one another.
which are Masonic to themselves. Some
twenty years or more ago the youth of San
francisco were divided up into these rival
ana often hostile gangs. Among the best
known OF these were the Happy Valley
Urowd, the : Sydney Ducks" tn Cali
fornia Street Crowd" and " Washington
Street Crowd 1t was often the case that
when boy got outside of his crowd bounds
he was guyed, imposed upon and forced to
ny to his own crowd for protection against
violence. youngster who belonged TO the

and imposed upon. This caused the Wash.

members The meeting was held in an old

posed to call it the Voodoo Society. but Mr..
F., now a well known printer, objected.
and claimed that the proper word was Hin.

was finally adopted. After adopting signs
OF alarm, summons, recognition, &C., il was
suggested that they adopt q language or
form of expression by which they could talk
among themselves without being understood
by outsiders. 70 effect this it was decided
that they would add the syllable 3" lum " to
all words used in conversation with one an
other IN the presence of others. For in

selves Hoodoolums, and spoke of each other

ALGiERs From THE SEA.


OF all the towns on the Mediterranean be-
tween Tunis and Tangier there is mono so
calculated to enchant the traveller upon a
first view as Algiers, both on account of the
beauty of its natural surroundings and the
unfamiliar and striking confguration Of the
city itself. He has taken, let ii be supposed,
the usual route from the north through
France, and in mid November is flying south
with the last of the long lingering swallows;
he has escaped the storms of the Gulf of
Lyons; the dreaded Levanter has not neces-
STATED run into Barcelona, the Balearic
Isles are passed just as the sun is rising and
playing at bo.peep with the vast swell of
the dark blue sea when within few hours
he becomes aware of his proximity to the
sun. The sea Gains perceptibly, and
through the fresh cool pir como warm watts
from the south that do not al first seem to
mingle with the common air. but wander
freely and treat it as foreign element !;
everything on deck becomes by degrees hot
to the touch beneath the uprising sun Sud-
denly, due south over the bows of the
steamer, in the pale purple atmosphere, are
seen two distinct rays of light broadening
fanlike upwards from the steady solid line
of the deep blue sea. These shafts of light
that break the continuity of the horizontal
ether are thrown off the white houses,
domes and minarets Of Agiefs; and, even
as the moon is fed from the exhnustless sun,
so does that city, spread terrace and cres-
centzwise on the steep sides of its hills,
borrow an ineffable splendor of light from
that luminary A little further run Of the
steamer and long line of purple mountains
is revealed, at first appearing veritable
coast, so sharp is the contour and so intense
the color and then, in moment, the city
itself is seen rising in dazzling radiance
above the sea, white with almost binding
intensity, and forming picture too brilliant
to be scanned with ease, if it were not for
the dark blue hills and luxuriant vegetation
of its immediate background and its incom-
psrnble setting Of mountain and sea. As il
is, colored lenses are brought into requisi-
ton by the passengers those who were
sceptical as to the phenomenal sun of Africa
are gladly convinced; the Danish lieutenant
forgets to abuse Bismarck, and the Polish
lady, who has been relieving the tedium of
the voyage by endeavoring to compel the
crazy piano in the saloon to express the sub
tleties of Chopin's nocturnes, dons veil of
diaphanous texture; and everyone shares
in that nervous excitation which the Algeri-
an air never fails to effect in Northern tenn
peraments. 1t is difficult to conceive any.
thing more alluring, more Enthusiastically
beautiful, than the view of Algiers from the
Mediterranean under such circumstances;
it appears as a triangular mass of white
buildings That have apparently been charged
by some enemy ON the hills behind, and
have stayed their precipitate flight into the
seq with picturesque abrubtness. -AagaEine

THE ALBATRoss.
The Bird Tint Is Found in the Wake Of
ship.

ship.
Albatrosses are generally seen more abun-
dant in the wake of ships, when the wind is
ahead. This may be caused by the slow
rate at such times the vessel is progressing,
but think the most likely explanation is
that the wings of this bird nre so shaped
! and placed that they are more like sails
than wings, and are calculated to sail " close
to the wind Added to the port and star
board tacks that the bird can make as well
as the ship il is in company with, the alba
tross has the power to tack obliquely upward
and downward in the air, which allows o
double zgzag progression. 1t appears very
seldom on the coasts of our State only four
| instances are known to me by reliable au-
thors, and only two specimens were known
to build nests and breed in Louisiana. The
eggs are of beautifully clear white, with
conspicuous silvery reflections, of q convex
form, and about as large as those of the
ostrich. There are usually three, and the
| nest is built with caleerous marine produc.
tions, chiefly coral and, as coral reefs are
nowhere else found but on the eastern coast
of oceans, neither on the Pacific nor the
west coast of Africa, it is certain that they
will not breed in those regions. The nest
is of the size and shape of q large clothes
basket, and kept close or secret in being
entirely submerged in sea water, between
impenetrable reefs or hardened marine
heaps, secreted by polyps. The nest, on.
the outer side, becomes often covered with
thick salt crust, which the sharpest knife
can not remove. The bottom of the nest is
filled up with large white feathers and bosom
downs of some unknown sea birds-perhaps
from the East India archipelago is
laid, rs in bed, with pillows and quilts of
soft, white feathers and downs. The open
ing of the nest is provided with an elastic
trap, constructed of some glutinous marine
matter, to open or close suddenly when
heavy ocean storms occur, or other dangers
approach. The albatrosses follow vessels,
and are sure to appear soon after dinner
time, to pick up the scraps thrown over
board. Their fight is very rapid and grace
fully performed, apparently without effort.
while their narrow and extremely long
wings give them peculiar appearance.
They often alight and rest on the water, in
mid-ocean, but easily overtake steamers
going twelve miles an hour.

A. MAN AND HIS WIFE HUNG
BY VIGILANTS.
FOR THE MURDER OF A LITTLE GIRL
A HORRIBLE CRIME SPEEDILY

AVENGED.
Denver, Col, Jan. 21.-Some
three months ago Mary Rose Mat
thews, bright, winsome little girl
of ten was adopted from the Denver
Catholic Orphans Home by Mike
Cuddihie and wife, living on aranch
ten miles from Ouray, small min
ing tewn i'm the Southern part of
the State. Last Saturday morning
little Rose suddenly died, and was
buried by the Cuddihies in distant
part of the ranch. The little girl
was cruelty treated from the first,
the neighbors said, and her mysteri-
Gus death and hurried burial arous-
ed their suspicious, and the coroner
of Ouray was notified. He immedi-
atsly repaired to the ranch, found
the grave, and exhumed the body,
when unmistakable evidences of a
cruel death were revealed. The
body was covered with knife wounds
- one leg was broken, the skull
crushed and the limbs frozen. She
had no doubt been driven out in
the winter storm to die. Cuddihie
and wife were Immediately arrest
ed and put in Jail. Friday they
were tried and found guilty of muir
der. -a.
About one 0 clock yesterday morn
ing n band of masked men went in
10 the hotel where Cuddihie and bis
wife were temporarily held in Gus
tody, overpowered the Sheriff s
guard, and took the prisoners away.
They both cried loudly for mercy,
but as they have ever been deaf to
the pleadings of little Rose for
mercy, 50 the vigilants closed their
ears to the cries of the prisoners.
They were taken outside of the
town limits, where the woman was
hung to the ridge pole of a vacant
| cabin, while her husband was strung
to the limb of o. tree on the opposite
side of the road. Their work being
done. the vigilants retired quickly.
The bodies were cut down and
buried by the Coroner to-day. John
Carroll, Cuddihie's brother-in-law,
was arressed with the others, but
for want of sufficient evidence was
allowed to 60.
This is the first instance of a
woman being lynched in Colorado.
