ed Stage Robbery in Arizona.
Chicago Herald
i'Heard of Dick Fellows, the single-
handed stage-robber, haven't youpr asked
an Arizona ranchman yesterday. "Dick
is small man with light complexion, blue
eyes and light hair, aud the last man you
would pick out for a desperate. Well,
about two years ago had the pleasure Of
making Dicks acquaintance. Myself and
party were camping out near the mouth
Of Black Canyon. 1t was just after dusk
and as we were seated in circle telling
yarns Dick suddenly came in our midst.
'Wcll, boys, he said, i've lost forty two
thousand dollars to-day, but III buy the
whisky If any one win go for IT, con-
cluded he, throwing down twenty dollar
gold piece. didn't know the man then,
and not wishing to offend him volun-
teered TO go. When returned Dick and

Over on Daytons Bluff is school-house.
The school ispresided over by very pret-
ty and interesting young lady teacher, who
is a great favorite with the Juveniles In
trusted to her care, and the boy scholars
are constantly in turmoil as to which
shall have the privilege of escorting her
home after the close Of school. Last week
one sagacious six-year-old man determined
to be ahead Of his companions, and during
the afternoon be raised bis hand to attract
the teachers attention. When asked what
he desired he arose and in polite manner
asked the teacher II ''he might have the
pleasure of escorting herhome after school.n
The girls laughed, the boys looked cross
and the teacher accepted the invitation.

Referring to the fact that lady had
committed suicide after losing $50. 600
at the gaming tables of Monte Carlo, and
that this was the seventy-sixth case of
self-murder for a similar cause at that
place during the present season. The
Brooklyn Ea9le says
The Casino of Monte Carlo. the great
temple dedicated to gambling at Monaco,
is owned by joint stock company, with
a capital of $4,000. 600 francs. The
hereditary Prince, if not one of the COM
pany, is its patron, and not only makes
1t pay tribute TO him but sees to it that
none of his subjects who may have a
conscience give the gamblers any trouble.
None of the inhabitants OF Monaco have
access TO the tables, and their inter
est in the preservation of the pres
ent state of affairs is maintained
by their complete exemption from all
taxation and the large prices paid for
their lands. The profits of gambling
pay all the public expenses of the princi-
pality and have beautified and adorned
it TO a degree that can hardly be seen
elsewhere. There is not a stone in its
streets that does not represent some
spendthrift s ruin or some suicides grave.
There is not a flower that blooms in its
public gardens that is not tainted with
the smell of blood. Its casino and the
lofty palaces and hotels which surround
1t have been erected by the profits of a
business IS detestable and murderous as
the work of Italian banditti or the bri-
gands which hide In the mountains of
Greece. Monte Carlo is an institution
which should be suppressed with as firm
hand as that which was applied TO the
Carbonari Of Naples. Its existence is an
international wrong which demands the
attention Of the whole civilized world,
more particularly of America and Eng
laud, which contribute more money and
more victims to Monte Carlo than any
other nations.

As the packet Osprey, of westray, in
the Orkney Islands, was returning to
that place from the Kirkwall Lammas
market, and passing through tho Westray
Firth, the crew deserted a large shoal Of
whales disporting themselves in the
eddy of the firth The boat shortened
sail. and some of the passengers took the
small boat, and both boats tried to keep
them in toward the land. Large num-
bers of boats came Oft from the shore. At
a whale hunt the first boat come to is
taken hold of, despite the ownership,
launched and manned, and every useful
weapon is instantly secured, such as
scythes, knives, spears, etc. The shoal
is cautiously approached and sur.
rounded, when the crews, by loud noises,
drive the whales ashore. A boat con.
tanning some English tourists, who had
been out seal shooting, came on the
scene, and their guns wounded some of
the monsters, who ran straight ashore
the whole shoal following At this
iuncture the noise of the dying whales
gives strange impression TO the scene.
Ropes were produced, and the monsters.

The curious question has been asked
why oaks and elms are especially liable
to be struck by lightning. It was de-
clared in 1872 that the elm, chestnut. oak
and pine were the most often str ok in
America, and in 1860 G. j. Symonds
stated that the elm, oak, ash and poplar
were the most frequently struck in Ing
