CRIMES CALENDAR.
ATTEMPTED BURGLARY.

Several nights since a man entered
the house of Major HOOD for burglariz-
ing purposes. He entered the room in
which Mrs F. G. Newman was sleeping
and finding, by throwing the glare OF
his dark lantern, that she had
awakened, he crouched in the
corner for some reason or
other, perhaps fearing TO move, not wish
ing her to give the alarm. Mrs. New
man was so much frightened that she
did not move, and after a while the
would be burglar crawled out of the
room to the south porch and quietly
dropped himself down the way he had
climbed up. He made good his escape. He
found an entrance by climbing over on the
south portIco and opening a window
which was protected only by a screen,
which was raised, giving access to the
window Mrs Newman had taken the
precaution TO hide her diamonds in her
slippers before retiring, and the proba-
bllities are that they would not have
been found even had she not awakened
by the glare OF the dark lantern in her

BURGLARY.

Late Thursday some hungry burglars
entered the grocery store of Hughes s.
Co. and carried away large quantity
of edibles. They gained an entrance by
boring large hole in the back door and
undoiug the latch and bolts. Tea, sugar
and coffee was proiusely scattered about
the store this morning, and there was
suspicious absence of cheese.
Quite a quantity OF sugar
coffee, tea, cheese, butter and pocket
knives was stolen. The police
were very active all day in ferrc,ing the
matter out and deserve credit for their
activity and prompIitude. One arrest
was made this morning

Rochosiar In W Harnlh

The 0atl1ng Quo and Its Inventor.
Rochester IN. " Herald.
The Calling gun is, OF all modern co.
gines Of war, most terrible. asked its
inventor, Richard Calling, not long
since, how he came 70 bend his mind In
such direction. WELL" he replied,
shifting his gold glasses, al was IN In :
dianapOlis during the war, and almost
every day walked through the union de-
pot. Sad scenes were on every
hand thcn-tamilIes all torn up
fathers, brothers and husbands going
TO the front, and, after q bit, many OF
their bodies coming back, when the
walls of woe were blended with the
cheers of recruits and the few happy
greetings of return. The terrible scenes
l saw, the agOnizing trials of paintings
and meetings, and the depths of despair
ali, shall never forget. II seemed so
terrible 10 me, this war, strife and
slaughter. that l became almost fascl-
mated by it's horror, and finally con-
ceived the idea of inventing a gun so
powerful and effective as an engine of
war that soldiers might in the main be
dispensed with"
This proposition, inconsistent though
it be, led the way, and the inventor
talked on as we smoked together In the
twilight.
"And did have time over that gun.
Previous to that / had invented a grain
drill for which had sold manufacture
ers rights all over the west, realizing in
the neighborhOOd Of $4,000 therefr0m.
l was pretty well fixed; when / com
menoed on the gun business my shekels
began to go. After perfecting the model
OF the original gun had a long
search in quest of an es-
tablishment adequate to their manufac-
turc. Finally, when six guns were com
plcted in the Cincinnati shop the works
were ired, doubtless by southern sym
pathlEers, and the whole was a dead loss.
The Cincinnati type foundry was my
next resource, and as the war had
thrown damper upon type founding
and the works were idle, the proprie.
tors made contract for another
hall dozen guns, When completed a
Chicago man on his way to Washington
undertook their sale. Secretary Stan.
ton wouldn't even look at them, howev
er. General Butler was the only mill
tary mAu who could be brought To see
merit Ut the invention and on his own
authority he purchased them at 81, OOO
each. UnluckilV for me my selling agent
tailed before accounting to me and
the sale brought me nothing. Gen.
eral Butler used the guns very effective.
ly In one engagement, when, the ammu.
milton being exhausted, the secretary OF
war peremptor!lV refused to furnish sup
plies, and the weapons lay idle.
81 made more guns, however, my
trtends' advice to the contrary. Now

one hundred OF them, and they are used

Good Farmers May Be Poor e-Keep'
ers.

My neighbor thinks if he has two OF
three colonies they will furnish all the
honey for his own consumption, so he
goes out and buys few colonies. The
next question that arises is: "Where
shall they be placed? If l set them in
the door-yard, they will sting every.
body that goes near them, so I will
place them in a fence-corner back OF
the garden" Now what attention dc
these bees receive? None whatever.
When they swarm none of the family
know anything about it, or if they dc
it is only by accident that they fnd ii
out. If you ask how his bees are get
ting along, the answer will be: "AlI
right, | guess; have not seen them fol
a week or two" Suppose this farmer
has a small flock of sheep and turns
them into the woods, and does not look
after them any better than he does his
bee, what is the result? Miserable
stock, of course. I have my bees in
front of my kitchen, and if l am not
about the house the women see when
they swarm and notify me. When &c
from the house to the barn l pass be-
tween part of the hives, and my bees
are more gentle than if l did not see
them SO often.-Kd1asGs Bee-Keeper.

Nor MORE-NoT LESS.

Calm was the night, in that still autumn
And caimer still and colder were the twain
Who, parting then, might yet have kept to-
Had bride not stronger been than even
pain.
There were no bitter tears, no signs of sor-
No sad reproaches uttered at the end;
And, should they meet years hence or on the
morrow,
meets friend.
Oh! hooking words for those who once loved
Hencelorth to be mere friends-not less
Deep in each heart death-knell sounded
For love, deemed deathless in glad days of
yore
Not more than friends-the voices must not
Lest broken tones betray vain regret;
And on the lips the forced smile must not
To show how meath that mask, griefs lines
are set.
Let them take heed, lest any word be spoken,
To rouse some ghost from out the buried
past;
A strange spell fingers yet, and holds them
fast.
Not less than friends-but ahl the friendship
offered
Seems Of such little worth now love is done;
"Tis hard to take the hand thus coldly prof
ferred
And feel the tender, thrilling touch has
gone.
Gone with the day. when just one word was
needed
Those heavy clouds of pride and doubt to
lift;
But all in vain loves dying voice had pleaded,
Now far apart, each lonely life must drift.
And she will never know, at their next meet
ing,
How hard he fought an outward calm to
gain;
Nor will he see, beneath the friendly greet
ing,
How her true heart still yearns to him
through pain.

Shying Horses.

The practice in vogue among nine
tenths of the human family with horses
that shy or scare at some unnatural OBJ
ject by the roadside, only make the
horse worse instead of causing him to
forget the habit. When the horse
pricks up his ears and begins to show
signs of fright, the common practice is
to rein his head directly toward the OBJ
iect which has caused the fright, and
ride or drive him right up to it. Often
the lash is used severely to enforce this,
and the poor trembling beast is made
to walk right up to the object, be his
fear what it will. This adds doubly to
the frightful impression first formed
and rivets it in the animals memory,
and instead of being broke of the habit,
it becomes worse and worse every time
it is repeated. The best way to pro-
coed to get horse to quit such tricks
is to use every possible effort to divert
his attention from whatever he takes
fright at This is done by tightening
the rein next the object, then drawing
hard on the other, thus bringing the
head around in the opposite direction
and causing him to look away from the
scare-crow. By practicing this method,
it will be seen that the animal is made
to forget the object of fright. A saddle
horse may be broken of this peTnicious
habit in this manner with ease.
Driving horses are not so easily man.
aged, yet it can be done.-IoWG Home

Five months ago Pedro LANES. of

some property about twenty miles from
Havana, which was left him by his ia
Their. To pay the expenses of the trip
he decided to act as agent for Troy

and took with him the necessary sam
Piles. After his arrival at Havana he
was thrown into prison as a spy. The
military authorities would not or could
not understand that the boxes of lubri-
Gator were harmless and not for war
like purposes. He was sentenced to be
shot. Mrs. Lanes, hearing nothing of
her husband, sailed for Cuba with let
tiers from Secretary of State Carr and

her husband in one of them breaking

he would be shot as spy. She secured
his release, and the other day both
