He was fined 40 pieces FOR bringing
the case before the learned tribunal.
The story teller did not stop
here. With all the marvellous
sequences and limitations OF one
of the thousand and one tales, he held
his audience, eager to know the rest.
Ono of the excited crowd cried out in
Arabic, while murmur went through
the crowd: "What of the drunken
man? What of the burying OF the
live man? What has that to do with
it?" ....
"Well," resumed the story-teller.
"Well, the soldier-prisOner being re
luctant to leave so good % Judge, and
seeming anxious to say something, the
judge asked him TO talk.
"Oh learned Judge he said, you
are so wise that l wonder at seeing in
your bailiwick forbidden liquor and a
drunken old sot.'
"'Thank you,' said the judge. The
law is that forbidden things axe
lawful in cases of necessity. l ap-
pointed that venerable man to
test the spirits brought here for sale.
1t disguised him in his lawful duty.
Therefore, now know it's poisonous
adulteration. AS to the burial case,
the burial was ordered by the court,
for know that six years ago that mans
wife was married to another man ac-
cording to the statute, two witnesses
having sworn that the husband had
died at Bagdad. The husband ap-
peared, claimed that hewas not dead,
and advanced q claim for restoration
ofhis wife. / sent for the two witness
es. They stuck to it that they had at
tended the funeral and saw the man
buried. Therefore this is not a real
man, only his image or ghost. There
must be an end of trouble"
The soldier had some misgivings,
but dissembled them. He praised the
kadi's Justice and retired.

Glimpse of Four Murderers:

New York Letter:-."Gracious, but
there's QUARTET" exclaimed my COM
panion in q Broadway walk. / look
ed at the four persons who had excit-
ed his interest. They stood on a
Madison Square corner, and were
above the average in good looks, while
their clothes were fashionable without
being foppish, and they had distinct
gentlemanliness OF manner.
''Four murderers," said my friend.
He was wrong in his harsh character
iZation. He ought to have been sat
fed with the declaration that each OF
them had killed man. Thefact that
they were there alive was proof that
the law had not deemed them deserv-
ing of the gallows. They had gone
throught the ordeals of trials, and were
entitled to the full benefits of what
ever justification the iuries had found
in their behalf. Two were profession
al sporting men-Jeremiah Dunn, of
Chicago, the slayer OF jimmy Elliott,
and John Scannell, of this city, who
slew John Donnelly-and they were
out on the truitless errand of getting
license for the Sullivan
Mitchell sparring match. Police
Superintendent Murray had positively
assured them that the match could
not be fought without show license,
and the Mayor had emphatically de-
clined to issue one. They stopped by
chance in front of the hotel kept by
Ned Stokes, the killer OF Jim Fisk,
and on Stokes emerging, they asked
for his advice as to whether gleam
of hope was left to the enterprise, He
was telling that he saw none, when
along came General Daniel +. Sickles,
the martial avenger before whose bull
let Key fell, and they accosted him for
legal opinion. Sickles made brief
reply ,notcalculated to lift their spirits,
and passed on. But the sight of the
quartet was curious. Dunn had es-
capped punishment through plea OF
self-defense, and Scannell through
emotional insanity. After one con-
viction and capital sentence. Stokes
had once stood in the shadow OF the
cross-tree, but on second trial had
been sent to prison; and Sickles had
been justified by twelve men for rer
taliating upon his wife's lover. Each
believes himself innocent of any crime,
and am not reviving their cases to
condemn them, but merely to describe q
strange Broadway gathering.

OF horror and apprehension that took
possession of me as / watched thia
black fiend peer over the railing as he
drew from his breast pocket long,
keen knife.
This knife he whetted on the sole
OF his boot and then, with a diaboli.
cal grin, he began to noiselessly de-
scend the stairway. No words in the
English language could describe mu
anguish at that moment. i saw nv
other self, all unconscious of danger
walking about that dismal place. and
| saw the murderer getting nearer and
nearer, his tace glowing more devllish
every step he took. My heart seemed
to stand still, and became, as itwere
a helpless spectator of what promised
to be my own execution. The negro
had then reached the foot
OF the stairs, and, crouchinp
low, he waited until the vic.
TIM was within foot Of him and
sprang forward. The knite was aim.
ed at the throat, but it missed and
struck the side of the head. This saw
plainly in the mirror. At the same
moment felt sharp pain under the
ear. AS soon as the blow was struck
i saw my other self turn and grapple
with the dwarf, who dropped his knife.
The two figures swayed backward and
forward, sometimes right at the very
edge of the well, sometimes scraping
the walls of the apartment; and again
rolling over and over on the floor.

and as the struggle went on

Remarkable Case OF Abstinence
From Food.

Waco, (Tex.) Dispatch to st. Louis
Globe Democrat: "Your correspond
ent came into possession OF the facts
bearing on very remarkable case OF
voluntary abstinence from food,
coupled with an equally remarkable
exhibition OF vitality and life. Inc
case is that of Julia harris, aged IL
years, daughter Of the Rev. Mr.. Har-
ris, Methodist minister, who resides
in the eastern part of Bosque county,
near Fowler Station on the Texas
Central railroad. Miss Harris has been
in feeble health several months, and
it is just forty days since she
has partaken of any food. During
those forty days the only thing she has
taken in the way OF nourishment OF
food is an occasional Graught OF le.
monade, drank at intervals OF q few
days, declining water or milk. Az
efforts to persuade her to drink or eat
or force food into her stomach nave
failed. She does not want to eat, ana
states that when she gets hungry sne
will do so. The parents are greatly
distressed and fear her mind is Affect
ed. When her fast of forty days
commenced she weighed $50 POUNDS,
being remarkably fleshy and large
child for her age. Now she is greatly
reduced in flesh and growing weaker
every day.

For Tired Young Men Of Thirty,

From the Baltimore Herald.
The young man of thirty who COM
plains that he feels tired, has he'd his
day, can't keep up with the process
sion and the like, should call TO mind
the work of such men as Gladstone,
Oliver Wendell Holmes, BisInark and
a score of others arc doing, though
they have all passed the three-score
and ten years allotted to the span of
human life. All these men have
been hard and lifelong workers.

thousands have died and thousands
