THERE is another story of the kid
MAPPING Of an American by Mexican Of
fcers and rushing him to prison on the
other side of the Rio Grande. Accord
ing to the story the alleged American
had been sentenced to work on the
streets in Paso del Norte for can at
tempt to steal" and had escaped
across the river and been pursued and
captured. 1t is well to be distrustful
of the statements that come to us
from the Mexican border about out
RACES upon American citizens, but
there is no doubt that Mexican officers
are very apt to ignore the fact that
their Jurisdiction stops at the bound
airy of Texas; and if it can be estab-
lished that in this case they crossed
the river to recover prisoner it may
serve as well as any other as the basis
for having an understanding on this
uestion.

How Academicians are Made.

How M. Balzac received two votes
when q candidate for the French
academy has been told by the Pays
in the words of Victor Hugo, who
says: son the day of the election I
set beside good-natured Pongerville,
the best of men, and l asked him point
blank: For whom are you going to
vote? For Vatout as you know
4 know so little of him that | shall
ask you to vote for Balzac.' 'Impos-
sible.' 'Why?' Because here is my
voting paper quite ready. Look here:
Vatout.' oh that does not make
the slightest difference And taking
two square pieces of paper, | wrote in
my most beautiful handwriting Bal
zac.' 'Well?' asked Pongerville. You
will see,' said l. The official who col
lected the notes approached us. I
gave him one of the two papers which
[ had prepared. Pongerville lifted up
his hand to throw the name ofVatout
into the urn, but g friendly tap on the
arm caused the paper to fall to the
ground. He looked at it, appeared un-
decided and as I offered him my Sec
ond paper on which Balzac's name
was written, he smiled, took it, and
dispatched it with g. good grace.

on train from Portland, on the Sd, Rich
ard Preston, the coal dealer OF Boston
alleged TO have absconded owing between
100000 and $15O,OO0. Mr.. Preston,
whose looks confirmed the statement said
he had just got up from sick bed in Port
land, in consequence of the statement pub
lished in the Boston papers. He said
he had neither gone to Canada nor
defaulted. He had been on business
trip East to raise money, and was
suddenly taken i'll at the Merchants Hotel,
in Portland, where he had 81 physician in
constant attendance. He said he was CON-
ing back to Boston to mee6 his creditors and
refute the statement published in regard to
him, and at his creditors meeting he would
show everything all right, and everybody
would be paid dollar for dollar.

Justin M Carthy's Interested Hearer
From the Boston Advertiser. ]


One Of his Justin Mccarthy IS i'm
promptu friends in the balcony last
Sunday night was inclined to take g.
still more active part in his support
whenever he saw g. chance to get in g.
helping word. He was an Irishman
from Ireland, and every word of the
speaker added fuel to his FIRE. He
cheered himself hoarse for Gladstone
and Parnell, and the simple mention
OF the hated Salisbury Or Churchill so
upset him that he wanted to get down
on the platform to whip the foes whom
the vivid words of Mccarthy ranged
before him in fancy.
He Kept up g. rafting accompani-
ment of "Niver !" and "Yis, surl" and
such small shot, and at length when
Mccarthy quoted a - unhappy phrase
of Lord Churchill about the Irish be-
ing willing to sit down happy and con-
tented under English rule, his friend in
the balcony bounded to his feet as if.
he had been lifted by bomb, and
shook his fist at the speaker with g.
cry that turned every head in the
house toward him, Il tell yez he's g.
lyur"
The crowd screamed with laughter
and cheered the [rishmap, who stood
like Ajax defying the lightning until
some one pulled him down by the coat
tail.
The happy coincidence of this single
headed chorus with McCarthy's best
hits recalls an incident In the rhetorical
career of one of our great orators.
Gossip has it that On one occasion
when delivering local historical ad-
dress near Boston, he had drilled a
corps of venerable survivors of the
revolution to rise when he gave the
cue, and thus enable him to bring in
al apostrophe, like Webster's with ef-
feet. But when he gave the cue with
tragic earnestness, g. row Of little boys
started up before his dismayed face
and piped out: "The old gentlemen
were tired, sir. and told US to get up
for them when you wanted 'em and
gave the word"

Something Curious In Connection With
the Recent Express Robbery.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. ga special
from Nevada, Mo-, says: Frank James,
the ext train robber, received the follow
ing letter yesterday, containing four
new bank bills:
ST. JOE, Mo-, Oct 31.-Frank James
Esq.-DEAR SIR: Please accept the inclosed
as a memento of the late Frisco train rob-
Der of the 25th. Yours truly,
JIM, CUMM1Ns.
The Enclosure consisted of four un-
signed National Bank notes, made for
the Merchants and Planters Ma
tional Bank, of Sherman, Mo. The
notes were one $40 and three $40
bills, the latter Of which had not been
detached from each other. The letter
was written in an evidently disguised
hand and was mailed from ST. Joe,
November 3. Manager Damsel, of the
express company, was shown the above
dispatch, and said that the detectives
were already following up the clue con-
tanned in it, but he did not know
whether the money stolen October 25
contained that received by Frank
James yesterday or not. He would
SC0rG6iA, however, DIS SOOu DIS pOSSl-
BILE. He had two theories in regard to
the affair. The real robber had sent
the letter to turn suspicion upon
James and put the detectives on g.
wrong track, or else some over-zeal-
Gus detective really thought that Jim
Cu1nmins and Frank James were one,
and wanted to see what effect the re-
ception of the letter and bank notes
would have upon him, and what dis
position he would make OF them. The
matter would be fully investigated,
and might lead to some interesting de-
velopments.

On the 5tll he withdrew his statement
made to lawyer for the defense, and
swore to another one. The prosecuting
attorney examined him and soon
became convinced that he was
lying. lis answers to many ques-
tions showed that he was not yet well in
formed about the locality of anybody, or
any thing connected with the crime. Later
the attorneys for the defense escorted him
to the scene of the murder. It is said that
he will testify to having seen some. hitherto
unsupported person kill DR.. Haddock, but
he stated no such fact to the prosecuting
lawyer. What little description of the muir
derer he vouchsafed to give them fitted
Arensdorf more closely than any one else
among the oonspirators. The defense is
making a great ado over Peterson, and
hopes to introduce him as an important
witness before the grand jury.

One OF Hermann's Tricks.
IFrom the WASHINGTON POST

From the Washington Post
One story he relates is worth repeat
ing. He was summecing at foreign
watering place, and was constantly
besieged by tie Countess Somebody to
perform some of his tricks. He plead
ed that he was, on his vacation, and
that he desired to rest. Finally she
cornered him in pavilion overlooking
the sea, and in the presence OF a large
company entreated Kim to show them
what he could do. "You have g.
beautiful necklace" be said at last;
"please let me have it" The ccuntess
complied, and Herman Immediately
threw the costly chain OF gems into
the ocean. CHOW dare you do that ?"
demanded the count, angrily.
Without replying, Hermann reached
forward and brought forth large
boouet from the inside of the gentle
mans coat. Handing it to the count
ess, he babe her openit. "She did, so, !"
SAYS Hermann, laughingly telling the
story, and right in the bouquet she
found her necklace. Now that was
real nice, wasn't it ?"

THE Southern rice crop this season
has been one of the best that has been
made for many years. During August
and September the much-dreaded gales
and freshets failed to put in an ap-
pearance. The dry weather helped
the planter to great extent, prevent
ing the rice from sprouting while
stacked in the field, and also from rot
ting while there. The quality of the
rice is very good. All the mills are
doing big business in manipulating
the rice.
