Yesterday morning F. A. Wallace, a former
resident of this city, called at the residence of
his divorced wife, No. 292 South West street,
and asked permission to take their little eight
year-old girl riding. He was allowed to do SO,
and up to late hour last night he had not re-
turned. The mother. fearing that the child had
been kidnapped, went to the Capital Hotel,
where Wallace had been boarding while in the
city. and found that he had shipped his trunks
from that place two days ago. having made
every arrangement for leaving, and they had
seen nothing of him since morning. Wallace is
a travelling man. with his headquarters in Can
ada, and it is supposed that he has taken the
child to his home.

At midnight, the condition OF the wounded
woman was favorable for recovery. She was
resting comparatively easy, and the attending
physicians think she will recover. During
the excitement caused by the shooting,
the little daughter of James Carney, who keeps

succeeded in gaining admission to the house
where the wounded woman lay, and at sight of
the blood became SO .terrifeo that she was

home and during the evening had a number of
commissions, and it is feared by her parents that
she cannot Recover.

piece of confidential gossip that both the

At any rate there was in the Times, few

an editorial writer than the governor OF
Texas. The article referred to will bear
reproduction. Here it is:
Civil service reform may be all right as

President Cleveland's circular to Office
holders is certainly imperative in that
territory which includes Galveston, In
dianola, Corpus Christi and Brownsville
Hardly single crossroads political meet
ing can be held in that territory without
the customs employees or their retaineri
being present, and it is not certain thai
the legal machinery of that district is en-
tirely free from ENHANCEMENT in political
schemes. At any rate, some of the depu.
ties are known to be taking considerable
hand in political manipulations. Can
these things be and overcome Congress
man Grain like summer cloud? Are his
supporters likewise taking hand without
his knowledge? One thing is certain, a
number of the federal officials in his dis
trict are taking a good deal of dish in
the selection of candidates at democratic
conventions. Their efforts are not di-
rected against republicans, but against
democrats, and the people of that district
seem to have very little to say about the
matter. To be PLAIN, the conventions are
run by federal officials, and with parti-
san zeal which has traDsgressed the
bounds of decency. There will be reck-
oDing one of these days.
Now, this is a very serious charge, and,
what is more to the point, seems to derive
substantial probability from facts. For
instance, nearly every nominee for repre-
sentative to the Twentieth legislature,
from Galveston along the coast, and up
the river to Laredo, has been instructed TO
vote for the reelection of Samuel Bell
Maxey TO the United States Senate.
Maxey is northern Texas man, and ac-
cording to the customary sectional dis
play of favoritism the south and vert
should be nearly solid against him. On

AN EXTRAORDINARY TABLE.

AN En- fhAOhDlNA R1 liable.
From the Union Medcate.
The Northwestern Lancet gives space
to remarkable story taken from L'Uni
verse of February %, 1886, relating to an
attempt made to secure for the exhibition
of the Franklin Institute of Philadelphia
a most remarkable table at present in the
Pitt Palace in Florence. OF this table
&~L'Universe says: 1T was made by Gius-
eppe Sagatti, who spent many years in
finishing it. So far as one can see, it ap-
pears to be a curious work of marbles of
various hues, for it looks like polished
stone, and yet it is composed of the mus
Giles, hearts and intestlnes of human bodies.
One hundred cadavers were required to
make it.
"The table is round, one meter in diam
eter, with pedestal and four clawed feet,
n the whole made of petrified human flesh.
g The author of this work died fifty years ago.
After having passed through the hands of
three owners, the last of whom committed
suicide and sprinkled the table with his
blood, it reached the Pitt Palace.
NJ "Sagatti succeeded in solidifying the
bodies by plunging them into many mineral
baths. He obtained the cadaver from a
hospital. The intestines serve for orna
hents of the pedestal; the claws are made
of hearts livers and lungs, and preserve
Y the colors of those tissues. The table is
made of muscles artistically arranged;
around it are a hundred eyes and ears,
which produce the most strange effect.
THE eyes, it is said, seem to be alive, and
they look at you at whatever point you
place yourself. This was the most diff
cult work of the artist. He was satisfied
with his achievement and communicated
his methods to scientists.
"The last owner of this table, GiacOmo
Rittaboca, had placed it in the center of
his salon, and took pleasure in showing it
to guests, saying that it was the work of
an original sculptor; then in the evening
Me would explain it's real origin. One
Christmas night he had gathered together
some friends, and they were playing cards
on this table. Rittaboca lost and the
eyes of the table fascinated him; he be-
came pale, agitated; at last he rose and
walked about with hurried steps, then
came and sa down again and lost still,
disconnected by the fixity of the looks
which followed him. 1t was proposed to
change their place, and the importunate
eyes were covered over. 1T is useless he
(. said, and he told his friends the whole
history of the table made up of parts of hu-
Imam bodies. 1T is not marble, said he,

hearts. See! they are still alive. The
eyes speak to you. lena not endure them,
they make me mad. Then suddenly he
Aseized dagger, and before any one had

over the table and his corpse rolled upon
the floor. His heirs were glad to sell the

From the Pittsburg Dispatch
'sThe duties of an actress maid?" was
the remark of trim little lady yesterday
who had advertised for maid. "Why
that's something curious to make news
paper article about. Well, an actress
maid must be maid of all work. She
must know little of everything, and one
Inning in particular, she must have some
knowledge of dress-making. good
maid in this respect is worth her weight In
gold to an actress. She is a regular
money saver. You see it requires vast
outlay for an actress to carry full ward
robe of part dresses, and a good maid
knows just how by making an alteration
here and there to adapt costume to two
or three parts, and be able to change them
back again. Then a maid must have some
idea of hair dressing, and study what
will make her employer appear more eff
fective.
"She must be able to tell her mistress
when her makeup is correct. By this
mean that combination of grease, paint
and powder that adds to the appearance
of an actress when she appears before the
footlights. Aside from this she must keep
a careful eye on the effects of her mistress
and see that they do not go astray. A
good maid is jewel generally very hard
to find, and valuable accordingly. They
are paid all the way from $50 to $40 a
month and expenses"

Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight IN the back, loins and

are present, fatulency, uneasiness of the
stomach etc. A moisture like perspira-

THE GHAwA All DAMsEL's DANCE.

L
From Edward Arnold's "India Revisited
The Arab quarter consists at present of
booths and wooden huts, and the baZars
possess for experienced travellers little
interest of picturesqueness. In one of
them. however. we found native cafe,
where two Ghawazi girls were languidly
dancing before the usual audience of low
class Arabs and negro connoisseurs. One
clad in scarlet, was novice of no skillS
the other, graceful and clever, with a
handsome face of the old Egyptian type,
worn hard and marked deep by life OF
vice, was prettily dressed in q wide trous-
ers of purple and gold, spangled jacket
and head-dress of coins and beads, with 81
jingling girdle of silver amulets. Asked

sideration of two francs and bottle of
English beer The cork of this contribu
ton being drawn, lighted candle was
fixed in the neck of the bottle, which was
placed upon the crown of her black and
glossy little head. A carpet was next
spread upon the sand and, extending her
hands, armed with castanets, and singing
in high but not unpleasant voice to the
accompaniment of darabouka and rabab
she svayed her 1.-THE body in slow rythmi-
cal motions to the words of her song and
the measured beat of the musicians. II

which has scorched mel Send me some
rain of help from thy pity. l am thirst
ing for thee" The Ghawazi began with,
Arabic words of this tenor, keeping exact
time to her strain with foot and hand and
the tremors of her thrilling slender frame;
now slowly turning round, now softly ad-
vancing and receding, now claspiDg her
hands across her bosom or pressing them
to her forehead-but perpetually keeping
the bottle and lighted candle in perfect
equilibrium upon the top of her head.
Suddenly she sank, with change of must
cal accompaniment, to the ground and
while not only maintaining the complet-
est harmony of her movement, but even
making this strange posture one of grace
and charm-she contrived in some dexter
GUS manner, without touching it, to shift
the bottle from the top of her head to her
forehead, and thus reclined on the mat,
her extended fingers softly slapping the
castanets, her light girlish frame palpita-
ting from crown to feet, always in the
: dreamy, passionate measure of the ancient
} love song. This was really an artistic
piece of dancing, though the performer
: was only common "almeh" from the
Delta, bit the dance is, no doubt as old as
the Pharaohs, and every step and gesture
additionally handed down.
