Music Kills A Mouse.

Cincinnati Sun.
A party of three gentlemen were en-
ioying musical evening, two being per-
formers and the third reporter, merely
a listener. The violinist, who was no
other than the distinguished 'cellist,
Michael Brand, played random improv-
sation while casual conversation was 60
ing on, when a small mouse was observed
to run from dark room into the parlor,
where the party sat. There was no de-
sire to harm the little creature, and he
was allowed to have his way. Mr.. Brand
stopped his playing, and the mouse i'm
mediately disappeared.
The gentlemen had heard stories of the
antics of so-called musical mice, - though
they believed none of them, and it was
resolved to try if something could be
done with the mouse, which seemed to
be attracted by the violin. Accordingly
the vioIinist again began to play, and
the trio was surprised to see the. animal
again appear almost Immediately. Com
ing to spot few feet away from the
player he lay down on the floor, his nose
between his fore feet, and remained thus
perfectly motionless. In minute or
two Mr.. Brand stopped playing. The
mouse did not move, and was watched
in silence. An attempt to arose him by
gentle touch with the violin bow did
not disturb him in the least, and it was
found that he could be handled quite
roughly without any effect.
His eyes we're open, and the quick
vibrations of his sides in breathing were
very plain, but ne seemed to revive slow
ly. He began to walk about with appar-
emit difficulty, tottering and unsteady.
He gradually recovered until he appeared
almost in his proper condition, when the
music was again begun. The first posi-
ton was resumed at exactly the same
spot. The player tried all manner OF
music, plaintive, and gay, piano and
forte, low and high on the strings, all
kinds of trills and double stops and
chords, but without any other apparent
effect. He played for several minutes,
when suddenly the mouse's form seemed
to be convulsed throughout. He fell over
upon his side, and, after few slight
kicks, became motionless again. It was
over with him. The music was stopped
and every effort was made to resusciate
the poor victim, but neither fresh air mol
any other means of restoration within the
range Of the party's experience accom-
plished anything.

Congress a; Great School.

Boston Traveller.
A gentleman from northwestern Ar
kansas tells the following joke on Con-
gresham Peel. Peel, it is known, is not
man of very high literary attainments,
but to appear well-read he processes to
have gloated over every piece Of itera-
ture that comes under discussion. Judge
Pittman, who is highly Intellectual and
well-read man, takes keen delight in
talking literature to Peel. Some time
ago, while a party Of gentlemen were
sitting around listening to some of Peers
experiences in congress Judge Pittman
asked:
"Peel, you have read Tennyson, haven't
your"
80 yes, yes, and like him very much
.sDo you Like Goldsmith?''
"Dote on him."
"What do you think Of his poem, Gold
smiths Maidz''
"By George, sir, it's the best thing he
ever wrote! I tell you what, Pittman,
going to congress whets mans appe-
tite for literature"

Interesting Articles brought Home Frsm
tho Arctic by an English Whaler.
London Times.
A series Of Arctic relics Of strange IN
terest has been brought homo by Captain
Fairweather, of the whaler Terra Nova,
of Dundee, and transmitted to the adj
miralty through Mr.. Leigh Smith. These
relics consist Of various documents in a
cylindrical tin case, which had been de-
posted by several of the Franklin search
expeditions 80 years ago, and state
ment left by Sir Allen Young, when at
Beechy Island in 1895.
Captain Fairweather says that he pick
ed up the documents in Prince Regents
Inlet under the following circumstances:
While lying at the foe edge in that in
let, about the middle of June last, he
was surprised to see several sledges with
natives coming of to the ship. He had
never seen natives in that quarter before,
and therefore thought that they had come
from Admiralty Inlet for the express pur-
pose of robbing the depots left by former
Arctic expeditions on Beechey Island ant
thereabouts.
The captain was also, with good reason,
surprised at the manner in which the ma
tives were dressed. Their trousers were
cut from 'Dreadnought'' cloth, serge and
wooden shirts and big pilot overcoats
supplied the place of usual Eskimo trap
pings, their outfits being completed with
English caps of various descriptions. 1t
did not require much acuteness on the
part of the captain to surmise where the
store was located from which the lucky
natives had been so literally supplying
themselves. Their sledges, also from the
depot, were. loaded with tobacco and
various other little Injuries, even down
to onion powder, the purpose OF which,
however, rather puzzled them. On ov,
hauling the sledges the captain was for
tunate enough to find the cylinder refer
red to and Just in time, as the natives
were about to use up the contents as
wads for their guns.
The Eskimo admitted they found the
treasure trove on Beechy Island, no
doubt in the Northumberland House de-
pot, familiar to all readers of Arctic travel.
They had also preached the rum casks
and the preserved meat tins, many OF the
latter, however, being bad. Tobacco was
what they seemed best supplied with, and
the crews Of the ships lying in the inlet bar
tered not less than 80 pounds from them.
Captain Fairweather is of the opinion
that the natives have cleared out Bsechey
Island depot of everything that would be
of service to man in those regions.

She Was Doing Penance.

bun8lO Express.
Shall the Episcopalian clergyman,
when he goes to the opera, wear the
single-breasted frock coat of clerical cut
or put on the secularly fashionable eve-
ming costume? Opera has religious
countenance in this city nowadays, de-
spite its wicked stories, ballots and char
acterizations. Rectors have refrained
witnessing dramatic performances exceps
on rare occasions; but they may In pro
priety, so the new usage sage says, 60
to the Metropolitan opera house or Acad-
envy of Music as often as they please.
Thus the problem of proper dress is up,
and no official ruling has been made.
The mind of young minister was di-
verted from his professional coat the
other night at the Metropolitan by the
more charming clothed belle with whom
he conversed between acts.
"Do you believe in doing penanoew
she asked.
"Under some circumstances it is BEN
efcial discipline" he answered, resuminS
a pastoral gravity that had become some
what relaxed.
"Pray excuse me for turning this box
into sort of confessional" she murmur-
ed, "but the matter weighs on my con-
science little, and do so want your
advice. It rained yesterday, and I didn't
attend the Sunday morning service"
II missed you from your pew" he let
a tone of sentiment get into his voice.
'And here I am at the opera the very
next night, though it is raining much
harder"
'That is palpable," and then had to
turn his eyes away from the fair vision
in order to become the grave, soul-solic-
itous pastor.
"Now, regarding you in your profess
ional capacity" and she gazed up ravish-
ingly into his face, II think it right to
tell you I am doing penance for my fault.
The gown have on has been worn by
me already at two balls and formal
dinner. Everybody in society knows it
on sight. At home lies bran new and
awfully beautiful dress, finished for this
occasion. Besides this mental infection
have caused bodily torture by draw
ing my stays an inch tighter than
usual over strip of raspingly coarse
flannel. You comprehend the severity
of my self-punishment. What do you
think of it?''
The young man expressed his views 30
incoherently that it would be useless to
quote his language.

A German saloon-keeper on Third
street has dog that is most dissipated
canine. The dog is slowly but surely
drinking himself to death. He not only
looks on the beer when it is amber, but
risks sight when it is stale and fiat. He
watches the trough directly under the
ice chest where the beer kegs are placed,
and when the trough becomes filed with
the amber-colored liquid the Incorporate
animal will lick it up. He refuses water,
and drinks beer morning, noon and
night. After drinking heavily he will go
to sleep, and as the first thought on wax
ing up seems to be of beer, on he goes
directly to the trough and satisfies his
thirst. He is becoming quite corpulent,
and is a confirmed old drunkard. His
only apparent amusement andenjoyment
in Life are to drink and sleep.

A dispatch from Winfield says: The
bonds to the Florence, Ell Dorado & Wal
nut Valley railroad have been voted al
most unanimously ini Cowley county.
This insures the building of two through
lines to Texas, one from Arkansas City
south; and the other from New Kiowa
southwest. The Santa Fe via Emporia,
Ell Dorado and Winfield, and the South

This puts Winfield on two great through

Lemons for Biliousnesa.

Medical World.
The lemon treatment OF biliousness is
quite fashionable at present. Most peo-
pie know the benefit of lemonade before
breakfast, but few know that it is moro
than doubled by taking another at night
also. The way to get the better OF the
bilious system without blue pills and
other drugs, is to take the juice OF one,
two OF three lemons, as appetite Graves,
in as much iced water as makes it pleas
ant to drink without sugar, before going
to. bed. In the morning on rising, at
east half an hour before breakfast, take
he juice of one lemon in goblet Of
later. People must not irritate the
stomach by eating lemons clear, but di-
luted properly, so that it does not inn
tate the throat, and taken on an empty
stomach, the improvement is marked

With reference to the recent killing of
Captain Crawford, the Apache fighter, by the
Mexican troops, it is claimed that it can be
shown to the satisfaction of any congress
sioual committee that trade has been con-
stantly kept APP by Mexicans with the hostile
Apaches; while every obstacle has been put
n tie path of American commands sent into
Mexico in pursuit of the renegades. When
ever possible, officers are arrested and thrown
into prison. From the most reliable infor-
nation there is not the least doubt that the
murder of Captain Crawford was premedi-
tated.
