When the notorious James Robinson,
or "Jack Sheppard or he is known to
the detectives, was sentenced to three
years in the Eastern penitentiary, he
was advised to try to lead better life,
which lay entirely with himself. eyes,"
answered he, 81 worked three years in
your state prison, and 1 know as much
about shoemaking as l do about watch
es. They taught me in your prison to
be dishonest. My principal work was
to paste leather and pasteboard togeth-
er to make thick sole to impose on
the public. The man having the con-
tract was Christian, member of the
church, and at the time I called his at
tention to the pasteboard business he
was foreman of the Grand Jury. They
send me to the state prison to make me
honest, and that is the way they do it. j"

EVERY one is interested in the sun
sets and sunrises. which have delighted
the people of various parts of the earth
for several months. Every one is ask
ing why. One answer has been that we
are passing through portion of space
filled with cosmical dust but We have
passed through the same portion before
and have never witnessed similar phe-
nomena. Norman Lockyear, one Of the
most famous of English scientist, gives
another answer, which it seems to US is
more reasonable. He, like others, at
tributes the phenomenon to the presence
of dust in the atmosphere, but not cos
mical dust Mother Earth has produc-
ed the conditions, which give to us such
a beautiful picture every night and
morning. On August 26 an island 1900
feet high disappeared, the quaking of
the island producing sea wave 100
feet high. Sand, stones and vapor were
hurled to an enormous hight, and the
sound of the eruption was heard 1000
miles away. Millions of tons of matter
were hurled in the air, the heaviest re-
turned to the earth, the hghtest re-
manned suspended in the air. At first
the coarse particles entirely absorbed
the light and in the neighborhood of
the eruption there was total darkness.
As these disappeared the sun seemed
white and dim. When the finer parti-
cles only were left behind, blue and |
green effects were observed. Finally, |
enough only was left at a height of forty
or fifty miles to reflect the suns light
after sunset and to prolong the twilight.
Prof. Helmholtz has calculated that the
material in the atmosphere producing
the effect is about forty miles above the
earth. There are two lines of these
abnormal sunsets, one east and west,
the other north and south. from the
point of the volcanic eruption, and it
seems very probable that the upper cur
rents of the atmosphere have distribu-
led the dust hurled into the air at Java,
resulting in the sky glows which have
produced such universal comment.

THE death of General Humphreys
removes another of the gallant soldiers
who distinguished themselves during
the late war. He was not only brave
soldier in every sense of the word, but
also one of the most eminent engineers
in the United States. His career in the
army covers period of over forty years
active service. A native of Pennsylva-
MIA, he graduated from the military
academy at West Point in 1881, and
was assigned to the Second artillery.
In 1888 he entered the Typographical
engineer corps, and was promoted to
captaincy in that corps during the Mex
lean war. At the outbreak of the civil
war he was major in the engineer corps,
and was assigned to duty as colonel and
aid -de-camp ON Gen. SCOTS staff. On
the 18th of April, 1862, he was appoint
ed brigadier-general of volunteers, and
in July, 1863, he was promoted to be
major general for gallant and meritor-
ious services at the battle of Gettys-
burg. On August Sth, 1866, General
Humphreys became chief Of the United
States engineers, with the rank of brig
adier-general, which position he held
until he was retired, at his own request,
four years ago.-Bee.

The fact that Brigadier-General r.
s. Mackenzie, commander of the de-
partment Of Texas, has been relieved of
his command on account of temporary
insanity, caused BY nervous prostration,
and placed in the military asylum at
Washington, recalls to mind some sad
and interesting incidents in the history
of the Slidell-MacKenzie family, who,
it appears, have been the subjects Of
what seems TO be a singular fatality.
General MacKenzie's grandfather,
forty years ago, was naval captain in
command of the war brig. Somers in the
West Indies. 1t was claimed that
mutiny was discovered on board the
vessel, although no overt act had been
committed, and upon the testimony of
an informer, a young midshipman nam
ed Spencer was convicted of being a
ring leader by court on board the YES
sci. Captain Mackenzie ordered him
to be hung from the yard arm of the
vessel at sunrise next morning, and the
order was carried out. Spencer, who
was mere youth, was the son of the
then Secretary of War. The tragedy
created the greatest sensation of the
times in the United States. Captain
Mackenzie. upon his return to this
country, was arrested and tried by court
martial, but as the captain had not
over stepped the law, he was acquitted.
His cruel act, however, was universally
1t was argued that, as the
mutiny, if there was any, had been sub
dued, there was no good reason why
Spencer, if guilty of any crime, should
not have been kept as a prisoner until
the ship returned to the United States. |
Captain Mackenzie never got another
in the United States navy,
but despised of his fellow men he pass
ed the remainder of his life, almost en-
tirely without friend, in anguish and
remorse. NIisfortunes have ever since
befallen his descendants. One was kill
ed in a railway accident, having his
neck broken, and another was drowned
1t sea. The members Of the Slidell
branch of the family have all been over
come by sorrow, grief and want.
And now the grandson, General Mac
Kenzle, gallant soldier, who became
/ brigadier at the age of forty-the
general of that rank in the
insane a few days be-
ore his contemplated marriage. 1t
certainly is singular fact that ill-luck
las befallen the MacKenzies ever since
'oung Spencer was hung by order of
he old naval captain.-Bee.
