The Devils Sonata.
Old Magazine. 1

Tartini dreamed one night that he had made a compact with the devil, who promised to be at his service on all oc- casions and, during this vision, every thing succeeded to his mind. His wishes were prevented, and his desires fulfilled, by the assistance of his new servant. At last, he imagined he gave the devil his violin, in order to discover what sort of a musician he wss, when, to h;s grea. as- he heard him play solo, 90 singularly beautiful, and which he exe- cuted with such superior taste and pre- cision, that it surpassed all the music he had ever heard or conceived in his life. So great was his surprise, and 90 exquisite his delight upon the occasion, that it de- prived him of the power of breathing he awoke with the violence of his sensa- ticns. and instantly seized his fiddle, in hopes of expressing what he had just heard but in vain. He, however, com posed a piece, which is the best of ali his work, and which he called the Devils Sonata :" yet it was 90 far inferior to what his sleep had produced, that he declared he would have broken his instrument, and abandoned music forever, if he could have found any other means of

Then spurn il, and turn from it's pathway ofouicksand, though brilliant with blooms A, the last ye will find it awrathway
 Of curses, or hearses and tombs; Though the crimes that be crimson or carnal The babes on thy bosom forego, They will lie at the last in charnel
 All lampless and low. This life Is a tragedy ever,
 But over its awfullest years There shineth glory that never
 Goes out in tempest of tears; There be, that will never more perish,
 The beautiful, good and the true, And these be the things ye should cherish, While sense ye subdue. o. rare will our lasting reward be,
 And reach o'er the rim of the tomb, And never by shame nor by sword be
 Despoiled, nor cut down in its bloom; While ye who are led by the lying
 Sweet lures of the sense will be left Over many a cofin-lid crying:

They Were Brave Men.
lUnited States Democrat 1

For the first time since 1861, the Vir. ginia troops marched in segried colnmn up Pennsylvania avenue, commanded by General Fiiz Lee, than whom knight Tier os more gallant soldier never swung himself In saddle.
 Among the splendid galaxy of Amer. can cavalrymen, the long roll Of heroes, Hampton, Custer, pieasanton, Forrest, Stoneman, Rosser, Merritt, and score of others, there was never more splendid type of the beau "sabrcur" than the younger Lee.
 He and Custer were old classmates at West Point--fricnds bound together by . strong copgeniality of mind--tempeYa. mept and purpose.
 When opposed to each other on the blood stained fields of Virginia, many were the amesities that passed between them.
 @Look out Fisz, get your spurs shaY- pened, said Custer just before the ad- vance in 1883, and sent the message through the lines.
 1You are glorious fellow, Custer, take care of youSseIf.1 answered fNz, and then the two Led their dsshing charge,

 Such were the kindly messages sent and received, and when the ys!Iow-haired cavalry chiefsan rode to his death, there vas no more sincere mourner than his old foeman Fiiz Lee.
 Rosser was Of the same type of soldier. He made his Laurel Brigade, composed of men of the valley 1nd mountains, fa- mous for deeds of such superb madness as almost to defy bsiisf. His advances in the heat of summer; his raids in the depths of winter his dashes here, thsre, and everywhere, read like the chronicles of might esrandy.

 "He supported himself by his pen" replied Mir. Willis. "As poet, prose writer and journalist he won about equal success, and he lived exclusively the life of literary man, working with laborious fiaish, rare among the writers of that day, and he probably realized larger returns from his works than any of his contem- poraries. His style was particularly his own and easily recognizable. He was particularly delicious in the coining of new words and phrases, which have long since passed into popular usage. My brother possessed also what might be called gift for letter writing, and if would be difficult to find even the briefest epis- tie to friend without some sparkle of wit in 1t. As conversationalist, while living in England, he was noted as one of the most brilliant tallEers of London society.

ST., LOUIS, No., Oct. 2l.-A dramatic scene
occurred in the Jail last night when Samuel

Hugh, who is charged, under the name of
W. II. Lennox Maxwell, with the Prellen
murder. Theyoung man succeeded in con
trolling his emotions, but the elder gave
vent to his grief and had to be supported
during the interview.
When the prisoner was brought before
him he scanned him for minute and said :

spoke the old man staggered forward and

Maxwell sat with downcast eyes and an
expression Of annoyance on his face. He
asked no questions and volunteered no in

together and m hour later the old man
came out with the marks OF pain and agita-

The immediate local interest in the

paragraph in the New York letter in to-
days Philadelphia Ledger. 1.-THE Central
Labor Union may be little radical in its
sayings and doings now md then, but in
one respect tits doing n good work, which
everybody will commend, namely, pro-
teeting the working girls in their rights
wherever these are assailed. There are
probably 10000 of this class of indus
trials employed in various factories
and other establishments within
sight of Trinity Church steeple, and as
they are naturally quiet and unobtrusiye,
and withal disposed to put up with hard.
ships and even injustice rather than to
make public complaint, the labor union
is prompt to take up their grievances, and
where they have clear case, they usually
succeed in obtaining redress. The mere
knowledge of the fact that such body
is in existence with the disposition and
power to maintain working women's
rights, often restraints attempts to i'm.
pose upon them.'' ....

A Startling Publication i'm Boston
This Morning.


BosroN, Oct 26.--A morning paper
tells sensational story in connection
with the mysterious arrest of woman
here Saturday night. The prisoner is
said to be principal in q conspiracy to
murder a prominent young lady of the
West End. The young lady is
said TO be heir TO considerable
property and by getting rid Of
her the property would fall into their
hands. Some time ago the conspirators
started to put their plans in operation by
attempting TO poison her. Although the
young lady suffered considerably by the
infamous work, she finally recovered.
Her would-be murdereis decided TO adopt
other means of taking her life. Their
plan was TO have the young lady enticed TO
Baltimore, where the next attempt TO kill
her was to be made. They then hired
fellow of this city TO perform the work,
advancing him money to carry out their
schemes. This mans heart failed him,
however, aud no acquainted the police
with the story still pretending to his en-
ployers that lie was willing TO do their
bidding.
For two weeks the detectives hive been
watching every move made by the con-
spirators, and ON Saturday afternoon
they had such strong case against the
woman that they decided to arrest her.
The police are hard nj work collecting
evidence and very startling developments
are expected.

poverty seeks, here is the
place to find it, surrounded by
similar things that ought to
be seen before a choice is
made.
1t is tolerably well known
too what our system of trade
is-fair trade is the shortest
name for it. We consider
what we ought to sell an
article for and mark. it SO that
everybody can read it, while
the prevailing practice is to
mark with secret signs-what
is the secrecy for? So that the
seller can gauge his price BY |
the buyer, his knowledge, his |
conceit, his vanity, his money
tact, his money. The price of
furniture is generally made
from a study ofhuman nature.
Everybody knows it, and |
guards against it by going
about from store to Store
comparing and haggling. And
yet nlne-tenths of the stores
