LITTLE BIRD.
EDITOR GAzKrrE In your Issue Of last sun
day you sisis that It Il understood that the
Tobc Turner jury stood eight for conviction Of
murder In the first degree with imprisonment
for life, three for Armalcr term OF prison
mcnt and one for acquittal. Now. desire TO
state ~ foreman of the Jury that no such un.
derstanding' of the case Is authentic or rclia
bic, and that after the jury was discharged the
jury retired In a body TO their room and each
and every one OF them solcmnly pledged them
solves not to dlyulge or disclose how they stood
on the issue and as honorable men / know
we have all kept our said pledge sacred and In
| violate. 60 th the public can never know any
! thing about IL, except that the Jury failed 10
agree ON q verdict aud were discharged.
II. h. HOWARD,
Foreman OF the Jury.
1t will be observed that MIR. Howard
does not deny the statement of The
GAZETTE in regard to the status of the
| Jury, but contents himself with the some-
what indefinite remark that It's "under-
standing OF the case is not authentic or
reliable" 1t is not assuming too much
| 20 say that this assertion is made at a
venture. 1t is no doubt strictly true that
| Mr., Howard has not disclosed 20 any one
the inside secrets of the jury room
OF this much he himself is conscious-only
this and nothing more. In saying this
THE GAZETTE has no intention of re.
flecting on the other eleven gentlemen
who made up the jury. Mr.. Howard say,
himself that the agreement was not en-
tered into until after the verdict had beer
rendered and the jury discharged. Tc
convince him that The GAzETTE's state
ments were not made at random two
additional items are submitted.
1. On the first ballot IL votes were
cast for the conviction OF Turner of muir
der in the first degree.
q After the discharge OF the Jury two
of its members stated that they had i'm
portant disclosures to make to the mex
grand jury. This is a rumor.
The statement is entirely unnecessary
still, in Justice TO MIR. Howard and for til,
benefit of those who are not PERSONAL,
acquainted with that gentleman, 1t mus
be explained that nothing in this articl,
should be construed to reflect in any wa,
on him. His own integrity is too wei
known to require asseveration here. Tn
facts submitted in this connection ar
given because they are proper subject
for public information, and 10 convinc
Mr.. Howard that THE GAZETTE no
merely guesses, but knows.

Graduating at the Age of Twenty-six.
She Goes to Egypt.

Graduating at the Age of Twcnty-Six,
She Goes to Egypt.
The death Is announced in Cochin China of
Mime DR.. Ribart, female surgeon Of re-
markable skill, and whose career was very ex-
traorlimary, an experience that no other wo-
man has ever had Beginning as Il waitress
in little drinking shop Of tine Quarter Latin
of Paris, she passed, while still very young,
through the usual experiences Of Partisan
grisctte and became connected with n medi-
cal student who frequented the shop Her in
stinct was irresistible. No sooner did she come
in contact with his books and instruments
than she fell upon theman literaaly devoured
the knowledge they contained She ayailed
herself of his teachings, too and drew from
him everything he learned, 50 that by the
time she had reached the age of ri she pre-
sented herself for examination as surgeon,
and passed the ordeal brilliantly and triumph
antly.
She oon recognized the field that lay open
before her in the Egyptian harems, to which
male surgeons were not admitted, and where
women suffered unspeakable torments for the
lack of proper attendance. At Cairo she speed
lily established a large practice, and had every
prospect of doing well, but her habits of dis
D sllidNltu hA'l DsNll lbillIt
rooted and were uncunquerahle.
Her career of vice ended finally in an
Egyptian madhouSe, aud her sufferings in
that horrible place were as great as her ex-
cesses had been. After six months of this
severe but salutary regimen she recovered
her mind, but never forgave her heartleSs
and disreputabe Levantine friends who had
hastily thrust her out of sight and mind into
the hOI TOTS of an insane asylum.
Her career in Egypt was over, but she
coud not return To Europe, and nothing was
left her but the French possessions in Asia
She made her way out to the French colony
in Cochin China Here her talents and her
beauty, which despite the life she had led in
Egypt and her sutferings in the mad house,
had never failed her, won her instant recogni-
ton and she WAS in great demand among
women. The old queen mother of AMMAN
had been blind for years and hailed with de-
light the prospect of relief held out to her by
the French physician. Nine Ribart died
suddenly the day before the operation was to
be performed, the result, rs supposed, of the
strains upon her health which her Egyptian
experiences had entailed She was still young
and had prospects Of re,ieeminG the past, for
her talents in her difficult profession were
great and undoubted. Probably no Euro
pean woman ever knew so much of the inner
life of the harem in the east and its dark side
as this eX-grisette York World

Bad Chinese BOYS In San Francisco

So far reference has beIsn had only to the
older class Of hoodlum MonSolians There is
another class, no less dangerous to society, to
be found among the Chinese boys, many of
whom are members of industrious families
The example set by the older -oughs is imi-
tated as closely as it is possible for those of
tender age - follow in the footsteps of their
elder cousins To he bad, thoroughly and
irrevoCably bad, is their highest ambition
They pick up American profanity readily,
and use it with a freedom and frequency that
would drive the most depraved American
hoodlum to despair. But it is not on their
proficiency in the use Of oaths or filthy Ian
guage that the young pagans rest their repu-
tation for wickedness. 1t affords them Ger
tain pleasure to mingle with the Sunday school
youths of their own race and fire off few
bombshells of profanity now and then, while
the Christianized Mongolians raise their eyes
in holy horror. But this is only fleeting joy
To sport a weapon of offense in the shape Of
q knife or pistol, and TO display 1t on all occa-
sions when the eye of the police is not upon
them, is pleasure smacking more of delight
full outlawry, and it is enjoyed to the full by
the bad young man in Chinatown. A knife
having four-inch blade and a short, thick
handle-one of those wicked looking knives
that cut both ways and must be carried in a
leather sheath-is the delight Of the Mongo-
lian hoodlum- The sheath is generally fast
ened to a strap about the waist, and is con-
cealed from view by the outer garments
Such knives have been found in the possession
of Chinese hoo3lums under 10 years of age
Il is, indeed, doubtful if the majority of the
class under discussion do not carry a weapon
Of this kind, and sometimes two or three, with
pistol 10 boot The more closely he resem-
bles walking arsenal the better the young
pagan is pleased with himself, for he can then
easily convince the Chinatown residents that
he is a very, very bad young man.-San
Francisco Chronicle.

SOphronia asks the origin of phrase sht
has frequently heard of late, viz: Read tn.
answer i'll the stars" We give its origin
cheerfully. 1t has nothing to do with astrol
ogy, as may be supposed The expression
originated during great naval battle in
which two men-of-war We're hotiy engaged.
The engagement had lasted several hours and
one Of the vessels was badly cut up. The
other bore down upon her to demand her sur
render, but the captain, officers and crew of
the disabled vessel had no thought of sur
rendering. They were resolved to fight 10
the last, fight while plank remained beneath
their feet. The other vessel steering along
side, her captain sprang upon the rail and
cried:
Il call upon you to surrender"
Never" exclaimed the other.
Then l will blow you out of the water
blow away" was the reply.
4 terrible broadSide poured in upon the
doomed ship, but it was promptly returned
although with much less effect.

The abyss of theological pedantry.
The subtle equities of this silent recip-

The integral designation of this Trinity.
The eternal Responsibilities.
The distracting impotence of inyalidism.
Nerdant with perennial resurrection.
Luminous nuclei, raying illimitably.
MOmentary seeming arises TO evanescent
views.
The same saturation of imagination.
An especial refined exploitation of soul.
Fruitful contemplation, grandly generic,
of man.
Capacious curiosity.
Yawned with irreconcilable divergence.
The thunderOus vOcferatiOns.
shower of suspicious portents.
Selfish aggrOgatiOnS of the cliqueS.
The vain folly of unselfsh Subiectivity.
The intrinsic, immutable, indestructible
element evapOrated.
That excessive elaboration which is the
ineditable precursor of corruption.
A sensual sophistry emaSculating ideal
knighthoOd.
A matter of tenuOuS reciprocity.

not tamp tie into place il just the right
way Merrill corrected him. II he saw a
coupling pin lying by the side of the track
he made row about it for somebody. One
day he stood on the station platform at
Milwaukee watching the wheel-tapper try
ing the wheels under the coaches The
Taper was an old Irishman, and Merrill
said to him:
why don't you hit the wheel harder?
You can't tell with such a tap as that
whether the wheel is cracked or not
The old man looked up and replied:
What the hot place is IT your business,
Id like to know"
Merrill smiled aud walked away. He
was too generous q man to take Ofense al
little thing like that. But another en-
ploye who had overheard the conversation
asked Pat if he knew who the man was he'd
been talking TO. OF course Pat didn't
know, an he didn't want TO know, either.

A young society gentleman of this city,
son of a prominent manufacturer, who
holds his position by reason of his wealth
and the fact that he belongs TO fine and
charming old family, rather than by any
mental brilliancy or social attainmentS of
his own, is determined to get married. His
mind is fully made up, and nothing could
induce him now to.relinquish the idea. To
the certain knowledge of the writer. he
has the names OF six girls written down in
book to whom he intends offering his
hand. heart and fortune, one after another
until one of them accepts him or else he
runs out of material. Three of the young
ladies are recognized rs society girls; the
Others don't affect 70 occupy positions i'll the
charmed circle. The writer knows each of
the six girls, and would be willing TO wager
pint of peanuts TO stick of ''tuitti-
fruitti" that they each, with possible but
not probable exception, will decline the
honor. Many who read this will undoubt-
edIy recognize who the young man is. and
the spectacle of his going down on his
knees and asking the girls consecutively to
become Mrs. --, er-ah-hiS wife, will be
as consumiagly funny to them as 1t is to
the writer

1t Isn't Fair.

1t strikes us that these Rutland peo-
pie are trifle cheeky, sa to speak, in
this matter of the quartermaster gen.
eral. Captain Morse would make a
good man for the place, no doubt, but
these other side of the-mOuntains folks
already have about all the state cleo
tive militia officers. The brigadier
general, adjutant general, judge advO-
cate general and also the regimental
inspector are all from the other side,
while the surgeon general and quar-
termaster general are all we have over
here, and now those greedy fellows
would rob us of one of these. To be sure
we have moderate supply of governors
colonies, but when war is declared we
want some real live militia officers to
depend on. 1t is admitted on all hands
that ST. JOhnsbury has the best COM
pany in the regiment in Co. d and in
stead of reducing our representation
among the officials it should be in
creased. Really, we cannot permit
Gen. Ide to be supplanted by Rut-
land or any other man. 1t isn't fair.
