\ Savage in Society.
From the London World.I

From the London WOrid.l
Where was it that | read the follow
ing charming story? In Saintine, l
think.
Some sort OF a savage-an Indian,
perhaps, came to Paris to live perma-
nently. He made study OF our ways
and customs.
In a drawing-room he had a discus
sion, and dealt to his opponent such
square logic and common sense as
tioored him completely. So much was
the adversary enraged that he slapped
the savage's face.
This is further proof" said the lat
ter, that you are rot right, for you
have nothing but brute arguments left
to you, and, enchanted by his last
victory, he looked around him with
an air OF triumph. In place of view
ing smiles, however, he saw only stu
petied faces and scornful eyes. Hewas
astOunded himself when. q gentleman
with grave air, face graced with
whlskers. and wearing the red ribbon
OF the Legion OF Honor, took him by
the arm.
"1ou are a stranger, are you not "
he asked.
81 am"
81 felt sure you were. You are not
familiar with our customs. After the
outrage you have received man OF
the world would send two friends to
demand reason from the assailant. -
what reason can | demand from a
man that has none?"
Reason, such as you think OF, has
nothing to do with it. To demand
reason simply means to propose single
combat with the sword or pistol"
Indeed How strange. | shall
conform with the custom immediate
ly."
A meeting was had, pistols being
chosen. The Indian, who was accus-
toned to hunt the tiger in his native
jungle, promptly inserted a bullet be
tween the two eyes OF his antagonist,
and killed him as dead as Moses.
Shortly afterward he was summon
ed to answer for it. A gentleman in
an official robe of red, wearing the
cross OF the Legion OF Honor, demand
ed the intilCtiOn OF severe punishment
on the ground that it is time to do
away with usages worthy OF the bar
barOus age.
The poor devil turned his head to
see this terrible accuser, and uttered
an exclamation OF surprise.
"Why," he cried, you're the very
man that told me | must fight or be
disgraced ~
"Silence!" exclaimed the president
of the court. The prisoner was SEN
fenced to six days of Imprisonment
and a fine of $40. When all was over
he called upon the advocate general
and said:
"What sort of a joker are you? 1t
was you who told me that l must
fight p
The amiable magistrate shook him
by the hand, smi,ingly:
"Of course; when l spoke to you in
that way it was as a man the world;
IN court spoke as a magistrate. Do
you grasp the shading?"
Faith, | don't"
"Well, you will by and by. You are
not quite used to our ways as yet"

KILLED By iy EAGLE,
A Little Child Carried OFF Near Toronto
and Partly DeYonred.


On the afternoon of the 18th, while
the wife OF Jean Baptiste Romilly, re
siding ten miles from Toronto, Ont,
accompanied by her 2-year-old child,
was feeding her fowls, a large bald
headed eagle swooped down and bore
the little one of in its talons. The
neighbors turned out with shot-guns.
but the only effect OF their firing was
to accelerate the eagles fight The
bird alighted on the top of a barn
mile away, and was seen n
make several strokes at the child :
head with its beak. The neiehbors
had got pretty close by this time, and
succeeded in frightening the eagIeaway.
The chiId's body was recovered but
life was extinct, a hole having been
made in its skull, and a portion OF the
brain devoured by the bird.

They Were Out in Force-The Republicans
Probably Victorious.
The election in Ohio on the13th was
for state and county officers, for 81
senators and 40 representatives of
the general assembly, and upon four
amendments to the constitution Of
the state, changing elections from Oc-
tOber to November, and one changing
the term of Office for township trus-
tees. Appearances indicate that the
whole state Republican ticket is eject
ed by from Is ,000to Is. .000piurality.
The legislature will be Republican on
Joint ballot, with a good working ma
jority in both houses. The vote was
heavy, and Republicans on the West
ern Reserve came out in full force,
everyone feeling it a duty to do all in
his power to bring the country back TO
Republican rule. This result will Sc
cure the election of a Republican
United States senator, and the early
enactment OF a law regulating the
liquor traffic. Another very probable
result of the election will be to elm
mate third-party prohibition from
Ohio politics.

Just if unsavory. There is certainly no
want of frankness in her "reminiscences
OF the petty German courts with their
sOrdid poverty, their stiff etiquette
and the unspeakable dirt that lay be-

beastly person whom pious England
cOmplacently called 'the first gentle
man in Europe"
This is the noble guise in which that
first gentleman appeared in the last
year OF his life: For years the king,
unnerved by the excesses of all
kinds, suffered from various NAL
adies-gout, dropsy, asthma, os-

The nervous system of the king had
become so weakened that he drank
brandy or rum without ceasing, often
eleven large glasses a day, besides
strong whisky punch, Justto keep him

StoCkmar brought Us the news that
the king had lost the sight OF both eyes,

The latest ncws from the seat of
war in Europe shows a complete
change in the aspect OF affairs. The
prospects of Bulgaria, thanks to Prince
Alexander's bravery and gencralship,
arc as bright now as they were gloomy
recently. An official report states that
the Soryians entered Brcsnik on
Wednesday. The town had been
abandoned by the B%nlgarians, who, in
their haste to get away, left eight guns
behind them. The capture of Brcsnik
leaves that route open to Sofia. The

Later news confirms tho tidings of
the great victory wOn by Prince Alex

account, although they first denied it
Prince Alexander, however, feels the
need OF assistance, and has given up

Bulgaria is dcnuding the Turkish
frontier of troops and is sending all
her available forces to combat the
Servians. The public are allowed to
go to the depots en- route to sec their
relations and friends. Many Of the
villagers tramp long distances and
wait at tho dcpots several hours, and
IN some instances whole days and
nights, to SEQ their friends and give
them flowers and presents. Prince
Alexandcr's success before SliynitZa
has revived the courage Of those going
to the front, and they undergo extreme
hardships with remarkable fortitudc.
In many cases they arc compelled to

Six of the implicated persons, one OF
whom it Ia claimed is John III. Dickerson,
the former superintendent. have furnished
row OF cottages at Colonial Beach with
chairs, curtains, carpets, etc., stolen bodily
from the pension office. The buildings
were constructed in large part Of lumber
belonging 10 the government and they
were put up by employees Of the Office. A
detective is now looking up matters at Col

A friend Of Dickerson was advised b,

and the money was divided among the
