down the Illinois went TO sleep, leaving q
stout fish line dangling in the water.
When he awoke his boat was fifteen
niles further up stream than when he
went to Il .er. A monster catfish had
swallowed the bait aud towed the boat
up the river.

A Black Prince.
sA AON NHOkA IT II NH@SS' From the London Daily News.

From the LOnQOH D6llf NcWs.J
 The sensation of the hour is the arrival in Paris of Prince Diowley Karamoko, third son of King Samory, negro chief of Upper Senegal, who signed away his in dependence last year. The prince is ac- companied by his marabout, his interpre- ter, two of his fathers ministers and other persons. He belongs to the tribe of Wolof Serrare, reputed to be the finest, the hand somest and the darkest race of all Africa. They profess Mahometanism, but withal have not yet entirely renounced certain fetichist practices The Wolots wear short trousers and kind of frock without sleeves, open at the sides. Their hair is plaited into several braids, and they have numberless amulets tied round their necks with leathern throngs. Prince Diowley has adopted the Arabic costume during his visit and conceals his amulets; but he still plaits his hair according to Soudanese fashion. He occupies apartments in the Grand Hotel, which the French government have retained for him at cost of twenty pounds day. The attendants carry about them all their excursions pewter jugs containing water for their ablutions.
 The presence of Prince Diowley Karamoko in France is regarded as favorable sign of the loyalty of those tribes of Upper Senegal which until quite recently gave the French troops so much trouble. Samory, his father is the wealthy king of vast Soudanese State, which he made by his prowess. He has sixty three sons. to all Of whom he has given lucrative and honorable posts in his army. The third, who is now here, is said to be his favorite and is designated as his heir The prince is seventeen years of age and is remarkably handsome and intelligent. He has learned a few words of French and understands good many more. He wears caftan of green silk embroidered with gold. He eats with relish roast me at. The mission will stay in Paris for about fortnight, at the end of which it goes to the autumn man. osuvres. high official of the admiralty

meant to watch Nilsson. About an hour after she became extremely fidgety and rest less. Frequent ejaculat1ons of discontent fell from her lips, and more than once she was heard to remark to her companion that she was nearly starved.
 "Is there no place, no farm house where I can get something to eat:" she asked of the agent.
 "If there was we surely would have found it long ago. It is an absolute impossibility for a man to walk even hundred rods in this snow storm, and the nearest house is nearly mile away" he answered.
 Presently, unable to bear her hunger any longer, and becoming desperate, sine arose, and walking rather sheepishly down to the rear end of the car, she asked Max Maretzek if there was anything, crust of bread even, left of their frugal repast. The qualification and satisfaction of the other artists may well be imagined when Max placed the sausage, cheese and wine before the prima donna, and the alacrity and astonishing rapidity with which she dispatched every morsel was tri- umph they had not experienced for some time. The next day when Nilsson was cosi- ly domiciled in her luxurious apartments at the Tifft House, daintiy picking at a morsel of tender chicken, she was heard to remark that during her varied experience public singer, she had never eaten meal that tasted so good and wholesome as that little mid night lunch of cheese and sausage in a lone some car on winters night.

An Interesting Arab Dance.


 The Arab quarters at Port Said consist of booths and wooden huts, and the bazaars possess for experienced travellers little inter- est or 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 skill, the other-graceful and clever, with handsome face of the old Egyptian type, worn hard and marked by life of vice-was prettily dressed in wide trousers of purple and gold, spangled jack ct and headdress of coins and beads, with jingling girdle of silver amulets.
 Asked if she could perform for us the "balance dance,' she consented to exhibit that well-known Egyptian pas for the mod crate consideration of two francs and a bot tie of English beer. The cork of this con- tribution being drawn, lighted candle was fixed in the neck of the bottle, which was then 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 accompani- ment of darabouka and rabab, she swayed her little body in slow rhythmical motions to the words of her song and the beat of the musiciaM
 ''I am black, but it is the sun of thy love which has scorched mel Send me some rain of help from thy pity. I am thirsting 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 advancing and receding, now clasping her hands across her bosom or pressing them to her forehead, but perpetu ally keeping the bottle and lighted candle in perfect equilibrium upon the top of her head. Suddenly she sank, with the change of the musical accompaniment, to the ground and-while not only maintaining the com pletest harmony of her movement, but even making this strange posture one of grace and charm-she contrived in some dexterous manner, without touching it, to shift the bottle from the top of her head to her fore head, and thus reclined on the mat, her ex- tended fingers softly skipping tte castanet, her light girlish frame paipitating from crown to feet, always in the dreamy passion ate measure of the love song.

MT. Arthur Wouldn't Catch Fish on
 Sunday.
 tIa

From the w WaShlngton PoSt.
 President Arthur" said Senator Vest, ''is the most expert and graceful angler I ever saw handle rod, and have seen some of the best While we were doing Yellow stone Park, one Sunday, the President and several others besides myself rode ahead of the main party and reached our camping place quite early in the day. It was beau tiful spot, we'll shaded, with a splendid spring at hand and near the bank of a riv- er After we had dismounted I strolled to the edge of the stream, and on the oppo- site side in 8 hole just below little Till I saw a splendid trout playing. He was 8 magnificent fellow and seemed to be dis porting himself in the clear water-it was as clear as crystal-for his own amuse- ment. I called the others to come and have look at him, and expressed my re gret that I had left all my rods and tackle with the pack mules. One of the party re- marked that he had brought his rod along and he at once returned to the horses for it. In a few moments he placed it in my hands, and I rigged it and attached 8 fly. The President, with arms folded across his breast, was quietly watching the trout. As soon as I had the fly properly secured I extended the rod to the President, saying, WdHG you IO CdtCu ehau 1cllOn.
 "'No, mo- he responded earnestly, half turning away from me, I never touch 8 rod on the Sabbath
 tsI was determined that the President should have that trout: so I stepped to the edge of the brook, which was high and al most perpendicular, and pretended to make a cast or two. Pm no slouch with the fly and could have made the cast had I want ed to- After several iue&ectual efforts l again turned to the President, who by this time was eagerly alive to the whole pro- ceeding. and said: 'Mr. President, you must make the east. It is too far for me-
 'sThe keen instinct of the sportsman was fully aroused in him and his eyes were fairly snapping. He replied, Well, Vest, I'll consent to hook him, but I will not land him on the Sabbath. I passed the rod over to him. He stepped forward to the spot on which I had stood and made cast. It fell little short; but the next time he put the fly within two inches of the trout's nose and with swift dart the fish seized the lure. The President hooked him and turning toward he extended the butt of the rod in my direction and said hurriedly: Take it, Vest; take it quick; quick I won't land him on Sun day
 'I grabbed the rod and after playing the fish for while landed him. He weighed three pounds and a quarter, and the Pres ident ate part of him for supper.'

BREAKING WILLS.

The decision of Surrogate Rollins of New York concerning the will of the late Jesse Hoyt of that city is attracting much atten- tion. He admitted the will to probate and distinctly set forth the right of a man of sound mind and not unduly influenced by the persons about him to dispose of the property which he has acquired exactly as his wishes may dictate, provided they do not conflict with the law, no mat ter how caprecious or unexpected they may be.
 It is high time that this was fully and gen. erally understood, and the effect of this de- cision will be good. During the last few years the wills of many rich men have been contested, and often where there was no excuse for it, and, as the Boston Advertiser puts it: These contests have generally been accompanied by the parading before the pub lie of the family secrets, the disclosing of private troubles and the proclamation to the world of things which ought always to have been kept secret. Every act and every word of the deceased testator is dragged into court and construed in such a way as is expected to benefit the parties in the case. No more disgusting exhi bitions have been made be- fore the courts than those drawn out by such contests, and though the number of wills actually broken has been comparatively small, yet it is a fact that in many instances compromises have been made where there was evidently no legal necessity, simply to avoid the publicity and scandal which must have ensued had the matters taken the due course of law.
 The Hoyt case was one where contest was not justifable. Jesse Hoyt was several times millionaire; he had made his money in business, and had increased it shrewdly. He had a daughter, about whose ineapacity to be trusted with large estate there is no question. In his will he left her an ample provision, the income of about $1,000,0 ,000. She and the lawyers thought it would be good thing for them if they could get more So they went to work to break the will. It is good thing that they did not succeed

Wilson's Hunger.

y
 Many years Pgo, when Nilsson was under were playing in Columbus. As Nilsson was not in the cast on the last night of the en- gagement, she, accompanied by Max Maret- zek, Madame, his wife, and several other members of the opera company, took the early morning train for Buffalo, their next stop, expecting to arrive there that night. A heavy snow storm set in and the train moved but slowly owing to the numerous blockades. When they were within four miles of Buffa- 10 a freight train ahead of them was wrecked owing to a broken bridge This of course caused delay of several hours. The snow was still falling heavily; it was night and al though they were within sight of Buffalo it was impossible for vehicle of any kind to reach them. There was not house of any description within halt mile of them, and having had no supper they were naturally very hungry. To make matters worse it was very cold in the car. Mime. Nilsson, as may we'll be supposed, was not in the best of tempers.
 Max Maretzek, after ascertaining the full particulars of the wreck and realizing there was no immediate help for them, resolved to make the best of it. He always carried a little refreshments in the way of wine, cheese and bread in his satchel in case he should grow hungry between meals. He therefore improvsed a little table in the rear of the car, with the assistance of his agent, and placed thereon long roll of bologna saul sage, a huge slice of cheese, loaf of bread and large bottle of wine. He invited the entire party-Mme. Nilsson included-about eight in all, to share his repast with him They were all with the exception of the great singer, only too glad to accept, and lively though hungry party drew around the board. Mime. Nilsson gave one look at the cheese and sausage, and with disdainful curl of her lip she murmured, disgusting" and sailed down to her seat in the other end of the car where, wrapping her furs arouId her, she made a vain effort to sleep. The rest of the party cared little whether she ate or not, and while resenting her unladylike remark, they resolved they would ''fx her yet" Kind-hearted Max Maretzek cut a slice of bread and cheese and laid them aside, together with piece of the despised sausage and 8 glass of wine, and after the rest of the company had eaten they made preparations for their nights rest, but not to sleep.
