illustrated London News: In his
recently published treatise ON the an
thropoid apes, Professor Hartmann, Of
the Berlin university, tells q touching
etory of a large monkey which be-
longed 10 the Geological gardens Of
Dresden. Mafuca, as she was named
by Herr Schopf, the director of the
gardens, was a parsonage of polite
manners. She would blow her nose
with a handkerchief, put on her own
boots, wiring out the linen, steal keys
and open locks. She had q cup Of tea
every morning and one OF cocoa every
evening, and at any time would fill her
own cup or tumbler without splitting a
drop-suggesting at n % q sense of
propriety and Of appreciation of the
beverage. Her death was quite pa
thetic. After some years. experience
of the Dresden climate, she showed
symptoms of consumption; and, if un-
able to realize the progress of the dis
ease, she was quite conscious when it
was drawing to a close. She would
scarcely allow her friend DR.. Schopf,
who nursed her throughout her illness,
to leave her sight. When the end ap-
preached, feeling her forces ebbing,
she threw her arms round his neck,
kissing him repeatedly, held out her
hand ia grasp his. and fell back life
less.

door went up, a head in cap and curl
papers was thrust out and a female
voice screamed: "Police!" also.
1t was Mrs. Blinks firm in the con.
viction that burglars had arrived at
last.
A policeman heard the cries. He
summoned another. The usual course
OF events would have been a process
sion to the station house; but these
officers were men of great minds and
wonderful discernment.
One of them asked what was the
matterp"

cealed in a bed room Of my house,"
said Mr.. Blinks. II give him in
charge"
BAH" said the other. This is a
deep rascal. found him in bed in my
room, l live at No. 20. here. The rest
Of my family are in the country, and
I'm, so to speak, keeping house. jill
kins-l think you know me Officer"
"Why, yes, l know you very we'll,
Mr.. Jilkins," said the policeman.
1--WE spoke to each OF as you passed
me half an hour ago-said good even
ing. But this-this is MIR. Blinks, of
No. 22p Know him we'll, and he
passed me about an hour ago, singing
and quite jolly. You a either of you
make a charge if you like, but 1t seems
to me you'd better think it over"
Mr.. Blinks looked st Mr.. Jilkins,
down whose cheek a long scratch was
beginning to grow red red and whose
eye was b~lackening.
Mr.. Jilkins looked at Mr.. Blinks, on
whose temple was arising a large blue
bruise the size Of a hens egg, and
whose upper lip was pulling up like a
pin-cushion, and both tried to look
judicial.
"It's a mistake" said Mr.. Jilkins.
''This, l presume, is the effect of q
glass too much. You have entered our
house instead of your own, and ma
turally."
1.-The mistake vas owing to the sim
ilarity Of the houses, Mr.. Jilkins,"
said Mr.. Blinks. "But a gentleman
who had not taken a drop too much
would scarcely have taken me for q
burglar"
And then a plaintive voice descended
from the second-story window Of No.
%.
"Mr. Blinks will apologize in the
morning, l know, MIR. Jilkins. This
would not have occurred had he per-
mitted me to sit up for him. 1t shall
not ecu again. Come in dear.
Please, try not t. wake the baby"
What did Mr.. Blinks say thenp No
matter! Not what his parents and
sponsors would have expected him to
say when he grew up, after all their
careful teaching, I know. But he went
in and was very i'll the next day, and
Mrs. Blinks nursed him with many
signs. And the next morning Mr..
Jilkins sent in his dress coat and boots
in a parcel, and he heard himself
plaintively apologized for in the hall.
This was bad enough but it was not the
worst Of it.
Blinks knew then, as he knew after
ward. that he should never dare bid
Eliza retire to hor pillow while he was
out again. He never did. From that
time thenceforth Mrs. Blinks sat up
for him. More injured, more be-
shawled, becapped, crimping-pinned
and low-voiced than ever, until at
length he was quite subdued, and now,
at 9 every night, Eliza, with her own
hands, turns down the gas, locks the
front door and puts the key under her
pillow. Blinks stays out late M
more.

The history OF this case Is "a follows: On
the night Of Feb. IL while the family OF Miss
Aldridge, daughter Of an old and highly re-
spected resident Of Windsor, were absent from
home attending q church meeting, the house
was left In charge OF the young lady. Upon
the return OF the family she was found
hanging by her apron to a tree In the garden,
q gag In her mouth, and life nearly extinct.
She was cut down barely In time and for many
hours remained In an extremely critical condi-
ton. Upon the table 10 the house was found
q note written by the perpetrator OF the out
rage, saying that he had harged the girl In
order TO wreak vengeance upon her father.
The girls story is that che was summoned to
the door by q Knock and upon opening II was
immediately seiZed and gagged by a masked
man. The outrage excited great indignation
ana a reward OF over 81, 900 was offered by the
county authorities and private citizens. A phi

that the note was In the handwriting of Price

between the families for some time. Price has

imminent.

ST.. LOUIS, March 9.-The situation In rail.
road circles is practically the same. Great
difficulty Is experienced In getting passenger
trains In and out OF the city. The mail trains
only are given any assistance by the strikers.
Reports from all over the line show the COM
plete stoppsge OF all work. A report OF
trouble between the Knights aud engineers is
false. The most thorough sympathy exists
between the strikers and the engineers and
firemen. 1t Is likely, II necessary, that the
latter will join the strikers.

When Professor Frank Billings sailed
for France with the children from this
city who were treated by NJ. Pasteur, he
exhibited a lementable ignorance of the
French language to the passengers and
officers Of the steamship Canada. In
Paris he was likewise ignorant, and Pas
teur was somewhat surprised that a sci
enlist should have been chosen to ac-
company the expedition who could not

prised had he followed DR.. Billings-home
and heard him v in elegant and
mastery French with Mrs. Billings, who
is a native-born French woman. In fact,
the professor kept it mighty quiet in
Paris that he was a finished French
scholar.
He had a laudable object in view in
assuming ignorance. He went to Paris
to learn something, and knowing that
the Frenchmen are jealous of their Sc
crets he wisely concluded that he could
learn more by listening than by asking
questions. The ruse was successful, and
he came back the possessor of a great
