stood behind her and held the light
high; and what do you think my
mistress did then? She lifted the
gun to her shoulder, took aim, and
fired straight into the bundle those
men had left for master. She was a
good shot, I've heard say, as any
man. When she did so we heard a
dreadful scream, and the bundle roll
ed over on the floor, and the next
minute there was a great. red, wet
spot on it. Then we heard a groan,
and everything was still.

not do anything to help the poor

have strength to kill us. And how

with black brow and u fierce eye,
that made me know that but for his
broken leg we'd not have lived to
tell the story. And, indeed, he was
one of band of famous thieves that
had, somehow, found out that Mas er
Mullins had left his money with the
doctor, and that the doctor was called
away. He was to cut his way out of
the bundle and rob the house at
night, of course; and master and
Master Mullins said that if my lady

Just Learned She is Free.

Harriet Brown, COlOred woman,
has filed suit against Mr.. and Mrs.
Tompkins in Indianapolis to recover
for services as a servant in the family
for the past fifteen years. The woman
tells very remarkable story. She
states that she and her child came
with the defendants from Virginia to
indianapolis about fifteen years ago,
and that she and her child have lived
with them since. In Virginia the
Brown woman was slave, and when
she came with the defendants to In
diana she was left in ignorance as to
the change which had taken place in
regard to the social position of the
colOred people, still believing that
she and her child were slaves, own
ed by the people with whom they
had come, and that they were bound
to work for them without expecting
compensation. Mrs. Brown claims
that she has for some time been very
badly treated by her employer, and
this finally led her to give a sorrow
ful account of her condition and suf-
fering5 to a colored woman, still be-
ing in the belief that she was slave.
Of course, she was promptly enlight-
ed as to the change which had taken
place, and that there was no more
slavery. The result was the filing of
the suit for service rendered during
these long years, and it is said that a
suit tor damages will follow.

Paper slippers.

Paper slippers are the latest form in
which paper is introduced in nev inven.
,ions. An Englishman has patented 3
system of manufacturing slippers, san.
dals, and other coverings for the feet
out Of paper. Paper pulp. or paper
mache. is employed for the upper, which
is moulded to the desired form and size,
and a sole is provided made Of paper OF
pasteboard, leather board, or other
suitable paper material. which is united
to the upper by means Of cement, glue,
or other adhesive material. The upper
is creased, embossed, or perforated at
the instep and sides, which renders
them somewhat pliable, and prevents
cracking while in use.

A Yelled Mystery.

There 10 woman in the Treasury
who has attracted much attention on
account of the mystery surrounding her.
She has been In the department for
years--not less than ten---and though
she is marked bt everybody, I have
never met anybody who has seen her
face. 1t is the talk Of the clerks who
are brough, most in contact with her.
She Is woman Of magnificent presence.
a tall, fine figured and one of the most
perfect forms l have ever seen. Her
appearance is that Of a woman who
might possess remarkable beauty, but
she always has had her face enveloped
in thick veil. In the Office or out, at
work or walking through the halls, the
veil is never removed, and the effects Of
her inquisitive fellow clerks to peep
under it are vain. Many susceptible
young men, struck by her fine figure,
have quickened their steps to catch up
with her in the halls, only to find her
face hidden from sight. No one can
tell whether she is old or young, but
she is probably not "very either" The
motive for concealing her features is
not known. Whether like the "Veiled
Prophet" she seeks to hide vision Of
ugliness, or whether she has some other
reason, is a mere matter Of conjecture.

A Western Edyl.

A rather sad affair took place on Main

as harmless as maiden's prayer or a

guileless as blue.eyed bulldog asleep

A Texas Editors Description Of
a Kiss.

A kiss is said to be sweet, not because
it contains saccharine matter, but be-
cause a man doesn't know what else to
call it when he feels the effect travelling
through his system on a lightning ex-
press with no stop. over check. 1t is
safe to assume that man who attempts
to describe a kiss never had one; men
who have had kisses (not smacks) don't
want to talk; they just want to think
and dream and die with their boots on
So we have been told.

VanderbiIt,s Views,

New YORK, July 2O.-The Tribune this
morning prints an interview with William
II. Vanderbilt in regard to the negotiations
for a settlement of the difficulties between
the New York Central and the Pennsyl-
vania roads. Mr.. Vanderbilt said that he.
as yet, knew but little as to the details of
what had already been done in that direc-
ton, but added: Il am told that pretty
fair progress has been made and that no
serious obstacles have been found vet. but
matters are so complicated and intricate
that would not like to say whether /
think the negotiations will be successful OF
not"
In regard to the prevalent rumors that
some of his associates in his Pennsylvania
enterprises were unwilling TO abandon them,
Mr.. Vanderbilt said: Il don't know about
that, but l have rather favorable report
from Gen. Magee and Mr.. TwOmbly, who
have just returned from Philadelphia. The
South Pennsylvania is a good investment
and there is plenty of business between
PIttsburg and Philadelphia for the road. l
do not care, particularly, to give it up, but
whatever / do will be for the benefit of all
who are with me-fOr the public good, too,
when it comes to that matter. This railroad
war must be settled some time, l suppose,
and perhaps this summer is as good time
as any," In answer to the question as to
how much the Central would
GIVE FOR THE WEST SHORE
road, Mr.. Vanderbilt said: ''Well, / can
tell better when we buy it. The Central
can pay as much as anybody. guess, but
