appearances she will have little more
to complain of in a short time than her
unfortunate fellow-sufferer, man.
Ii may not seem gallant, but confess
felt a secret sense of satisfaction when
read Of the discontinue of Mrs. VIII
son, whose case l mentioned last week.
She was suing her husband for aban-
donment, and while she had silks ant
diamonds poor Wilson had only rusty
spring suit, and 1t was proved on the
trial that she threw his brccches out of
the window. The Judge was a wise
and just man, and he drew the line at
wives who threw their husbands
breeches out Of the window, so the de-
fendant walked out of Court free man
and the universal verdict is, most
righteous judgment.
Look your yellow covered literature
over and You will find nothing like the
attempt of young Adams to. .assassinate
and rob the cashier at Sweetzcr's dry
goods house, on Saturday last. To APP
preciate ii you have to take in all the
circumstances and all the surroundings,
and for superlativc, double-dyed, dia-
bolical villainy 1t is almost without
parallel in the annals of crime. Young
Adams was pious--a church member;
quite a shining light in the Young
Mems Christian Association; he was
never known to miss prayer meeting,
and was always on hand at Sunday
School and Bible Class; he could not
abide bad language and he would not
associate with the other clerks who said
''gol darn it, and "by Jiminy;' in
short, he was a model young man and
his employers pointed him out to the
other clerks as a sample of what boy
ought TO be. On Saturday morning he
went into the store so perfectly dis
guised that his best friends did not
recognize him, and with heavy iron
sash weight hidden under his coat he
laid in wait for the cashier, and as he
opened his safe he attempted TO assas-
sinate and rob him. Now recollect that
this was no midnight murder, but in
broad day in a store with two or three
hundred employees scattered about in
every direction. How he could ever
have expected to escape is incompre-
hensible. and yet the whole details of
the robbery and murder appear to have
been most carefully planned, and that
it was not success is no fault of the
young assassin. lie is now in Jail.
The authorities are going for the An
archists; Herr Most is in limbo, having
been dragged out from under bed in a
house where he had been concealed for
weeks. His followers have a most
wholesome respect for the policeman's
club, and are comparatively quiet.
The strikers have simmered down TO
zero, and the law is being vindicated all
around. The disturbances of the past
few weeks will not have been without
their value if they serve to show all
classes, high and low, rich and poor,
that the laws must be respected and
will be maintained; and that there is
not man in this land so high that the
law cannot reach him, and no man SO
poor that the law will not protect him.

HOW HE COULD TAKE REVENGE.

Life" said the cynic, life is not
worth living"
"No?" said the damsel at his side.
"Why?" -
"Life is bore. Human nature is so
tame, insipid, ridiculous, in all except
the vicious classes. Society in the ac-
cepted sense does not live, my dear Miss
Jones. 1t passes the time"
"And has lots of fun sometimes"
"Never. 1t believes it has fun; but
it's very sorry, stupid, dull fun. am a
cynic. People bore me to death. OF
course there are exceptions, such as
ou-but-others. They talk and talk
and talk, and IL sit and listen, and
think what empty, brainless things
men and women are. They weary me. "
"Well, why don't you take your re-
venge?"
"How?"
Talk back to them"
And the cynic grinned a sickly grin
and dropped the subject.

BTOadlril'S New York Letter

Special to the CARBON ADVOCATE.
The axe has fallen, and the first thief
of the Broadway gang has been con-
victed. 1t can be no matter of pride or
satisfaction to anybody that he has been
convic ed, but sense of burning shame
and deep humiliation that made the
conviction an imperitiye necessity. The
public was shocked beyond expression
when il learned that this man Jaehne,
who sat at the head of her Council
Board as representative of the city's
honor and credit, was a receiver of
stolen goods; and now from the sug-
gestive questions put by the prosecution
on his crOss-eXaminatiOn. it would ap-
pear that he was not only receiver Of
stolen goods but crossed the Atlantic
and Travelled as companion in Europe
with two Of the most notorious thieves
In the United States. But, terrible as
this revelation is il is some compensation
to know that in the midst of this official
corruption and crime, twelve good men
and true could be found who were be-
yond the reach of bribery and who could
hold the scales of justice with honest
and impartial hands.
This trial with all its nefarious and
indecent details cannot fail to awaken
the people to the danger OF large and

THE CAT AND THE BEE.

the bee went buzzing and humming
around the room.
"Oh, what a great big fy!' said a
young kitten who was playing !;
"what soft velvet coat he has! l

who was stretched out upon the
hearth-rug sit is bee, and bees
have stings, and if you NEEDLE with
it you will be sorry"
"Buzz, buzz, buzz hum, hum %
The bee was getting quite out of
patience, and made more noise than
ever. The kitten watched him with
increasing interest, and decided she
would catch him.
''But I'm not going to be disap-
pointed" said Frisk, cycling the old
cat, who now seemed to be fast
asleep, with some contempt; "moth-
er is always telling one something or
other, as if one had no eyes and no
sense"
And the next time that the bee
paused for a moment on the floor she
made dart at him. But the bee
was too quick for her, and flew high
up into the air, buzzing louder than
ever.
The old cat opened her eyes and
shook her paw at her kitten.
"You will get into trouble, Frisk,
if you do not leave that bee alone.
And she dozed off again.
The bee having flown round and
round, and banged itself against the
window, settled again close to Frisk
CHOW is my time,' said she to
herself, approaching very cautiously
and then, suddenly raising her paw
she brought it down upon the BET
with a triumphant ''Mew.'
But, alas! the NEW of triumph
was changed into a howl of pain
She had killed the bee, certainly, blu

HABITS OF FLOWERS

Flowers have habits, or ways of
acting, just as people have. / will
tell you about some of them.
There are some flowers that shut
themselves at night, as if to 60
TO sleep, and open again in the
morning. Tulips do this. | was
once admiring in the morning some
flowers that were sent to me the ev-
ening before by a lady. Among
them were some tulips, and out of
these, as they opened, flew humble
bee. A lazy, droning bee he must
have been to be caught in this way
as the flower was closing itself for
the night. Or, perhaps he had done
q hard days work in gathering hon
ely, and just at night was SO sleepy
that he stayed too long in the tulip.
A very elegant bed the bee had that
night. / wonder if he slept any bet
ter than be would have done had he
been in his homely nest?
The pond lily closes its pure white
leaves at night as it lies upon it's wa
terry bed; but it unfolds them again
in the morning. How beautiful ii
looks as it is spread out upon the
water in the sunlight. The little
mountain daisy is among the flowers
that close at night, but it is as bright
as ever on it's ''slender stem" wher
1t wakes in the morning. When il
shuts itself up it is little green ball
and looks something like pea. Blu
look the next morning, and the bal
is opened, and shows ''golden tut
within a silver crown"
The golden flowers of the dande
lion are shut up every night. The.
are folded up so closely in thei
green coverings that they look lik
buds that have never yet bee
opened.
There is one curious habit whic
the dandelion has. When the sun
very hot, it closes itself up to kee
from whiting. 1t is in this way she
tered In its green covering from th
sun. 1t sometimes, when the weatl
er is very hot, shuts itself up as ca
ly as nine o'clock in the morning.
Some flowers hang down the
heads at night as if they were no.
ding in their sleep; but IN the NOR
ing they lift them up again TO we
come the light.
Some flowers have a particul
time to open. The evening primo
does not open till evening, and hen
comes its name. The flower nam
four o'clock opens at that hour
the afternoon. There is a flow
commonly called Go-to-bed- at-noo
that always opens IN the morni
and shuts up at noon.

f(1oathl' Column.
IN BIRD LIFE AT
THE PARK.

The curious behavior of a shell
drake in the Central Park Geological
gardens has puzzled Superintendent
Conklin and the keepers, and is at
tracing much attention among visit
ors. When the two sea lions were
brought to the Park recently, this
sheldrake was the only one among
all the birds in the little inclosure
outside the lion house, where the sea
lion tank is, that took any interest in
the new corners.
The sheldrake comes from Austria
liza. where there are not any sea lions,
and is, therefore, unacquainted with
these monsters. Perhaps to this
fact may be attributed the strong in
terest he took in them for ever
since they were dumped into the
tank, he seemed to regard himselJ
their special guardian, and spends
the hours of each day in or near Its
edge.
He stands like a sentry, usually on
one leg, and at first attacked the other
birds, when they approached, with
such fierceness that they seem now
to have a wholesome dread of him,
and at times, when thirsty, sneak up
to the basin, take a hasty sip, and
scurry away as though they had
come to the belief that the tank and
its waters belonged exclusively to
the sheldrake. Now, there are in
this enclosure many large birds, such
as the pelican, stork, and bittern-
birds able to defend themselves but,
strange to say, they submit meekly
to the assumption of proprietary
right by this little wood duck, as if
by some unseen, but potent, infu-
ence directed. The ponderous, sleek,
and slow moving sea lions come up
to the surface now and then, watch
their little champion drive away in
truders, and then, after blinking,
sleepy-eyed, for few moments, fall
over lazily into the water and disap-
pear.
The sheldrake is not known among
naturalists as an aggressive bird, and
hence to see him fly furiously at q
great pelican, drive him from the
field, and then send a long-legged
sand bill crane scampering after in
evident alarm, is curious sight
While the sheldrake will allow nc
other bird to approach the sea lions
by day, he relaxes his vigil after
nlghtfall, when the sea lions an6
birds repair to the little house neal
the tank to sleep, and there is taci
understanding that the other birds
may then approach.
This sheldrake is of the sub-family
Anating and of the genera IadornC
(Leach) Casarka (Bonap.) The
species are to be seen on the ses
shore as we'll as on the lakes, feed
ing on marine plants, crustaceans
and mollusks. The note is a shrll
whistle.-Scientifc american.
