The Chicago Anarchists Trial.

In yesterdays proceedings in the trial
of the Anarchists the evidence rendered
by the prosecution was the most impor-
tant, but at the same time the least
sensational, yet offered. This, at least,
is the opinion of States Attorney Grin
nell. The prosecution occupied most
of the forenoon session in proving that
the riot at the Mccormick works May
3, was instigated by a few Anarchists
led by Spies; that Spies after, melting
that riot, wrote and circulated inham-
matory and lying accounts of the out
break, with intent to incite the work
men of the city to further riot; that it
was in defiance of the active opposi-
ton of the leadersAof the strikers that
Spies and his gang captured the meet
ing which Immediately preceded the
Mccormick riot, and melted that meet
ing to attack the non-unIon working
men; and. generally, that that riot was
directly the work of the Anarchists in
the carrying out of their plot to sack
and plumber the city, as described in
the testimony of the witness Moulton
the previous day.
The testimony presented in the after
noon clearly proved that Spies was the
writer of the mysterious "Ruhe'' notice
in the Arbeiter Zeitang, that being the
signal for the opening of the revolution
by the armed forces of the Anarchists;
that Spies and Schwab were directly
responsible for the incendiary screeds
in the Arbetter- Zeitamg; that Spies was
the author of the Revenge" circular;
that Spies, Neebe, and Schwab directly,
and the other prisoners indirectly. were
responsible for the circulation of MUIR
derous Anarchistic literature, such as
Herr Most's "Science of Revolutionary
Warfare; and that altogether the hay
market riot, the Mccormick riot, the
throwing of the bomb, the publication
of the alarm and Arbeiter- Zeitung, the
issuance of incendiary circulars and
proclamations, and the manufacture,
storage. and distribution of explosives
were all an integral part of general
and premeditated plot for the murder
or overthrow of the police force and all
law-abiding citizens and the seizure of
the city by the Anarchists.

The Rights of Mistress and Servant.

1t has been argued that the mistress
has special duties for which she should
prepare herself, that the maid also has
mistress ought to have consideration for
the rights of the servant, and now we
come to the proposition that the maid
should grant some rights to the mistress
and that it will be to their interest as a
class as well as individuals to acknowl-
edge those rights They can discern
that there is something radically wrong
in the present relationship, but they do
not understand the cause nor the
remedy. As class they are rowing and
restless, and do not remain long in any
place. They do not prosper as they
should in free country; that it is pos
sible is proven by the fact that some
remaining in the same place for years,
have, by care and prudence accumulated
the means of buying and improving
homes of their own. The greater num-
Der who hire as domestics, are constant
ly shifting from one family to another,
and in the interval between the changes,
must consume the fruits of previous
labor. Thus nothing is laid up, and
still worse no one to whom they hire
for a short time feels any special in.
tereSt in their welfare. If they are sick
or in trouble they can not look to any
former mistress for assistance Attach
ing themselves to no one they stand
alone in need. One who serves faith
fully for years, in one family, is gen.
orally sure of kind attention in sickness
or old age. The children grow up
loving such a servant and if they are
ever separated, she will still maintain
an interest and sympathy in their hearts
that will unite them in friendship; not
the friendship of mental or social equali-
ty, but that of love and kindness.
Much of the rowing disposition is
brought about, more by a dissatisfac-
ton with the position than the mistress.
1t appears unjust, that there is no more
equality of wealth and advantages; that
one must labor for support and another
1--we in idleness. But it is not work
alone that makes capital; skill, ingenui-
ty and intellect are worth far more. A
servant may work for years and even
by diligence can not accumulate enough
to buy an invention that cost a man
only thought If a servant have educa-
ton and intellectual power, she should
not remain in the position. but rise SUI
perior to it. 1t is happier to use all
ones capacity. But there is vast
difference in real fitness for higher
position and the imagination that one
is fitted for it, because it seems desira-
bic. Let a disconnected servant ask
herself if she has faithfully discharged
all the duties of an humble station be-
fore she aspires to one higher. Faith
fulness is the first stepping-stone to
advancement. Without it no position
is honorable Z. j. Gurley, in

Bitten by a Poisonous Lizard.

Some one had caught large hello.
derma and had tied it to a post, and
there was usually a crowd about it.
Among the lookers-on was a drunken
fellow who was amusing himself by
stirring up the reptile and telling the
crowd that he did not believe it was
poisonous. Some of the men took him
away several times, but at last he be-
gan to call everybody towards in
drunken fashion, and before any one
could stop him he thrust his hand into
the animals mouth and was severely
bitten. / never saw man sobered SO
quickly in my life. In short time he
began to feel sharp pains in his arm,
and before long it began to swell and
he was Obliged to lie down. He was
sobered completely. and though they
poured all the liquor down his throat
that he would take, it had no effect
upon him. Some one started for a
doctor that lived ten or twelve miles
away, but the man died where he fell.
right in the street in the middle of the
town, surrounded by crowd of as
white-faced men as you want to see.
He went into commissions. 1t was ter
rible sight As soon as he became con-
scious he would beg some one to shoot
him, and some were in favor of it. but
the majority ruled and he died from
the poison in less than an hour after he
was bitten.-SGn francisco Call.

now, being a resolute fellow, he deter
mined to risk his life in way which
none of his shipmates would have dared
to do, for the rescue of little Ben.
The mast was swaying like a whip
stalk, and he believed it would soon go
over; but this peril did not for a mo-
ment influence his decision. Unfasten-
ing the top-gallant-sail gasket, and cut
ting it clear with his sheath-knife, he
firmly clutched the rope between his
teeth. and descended the dangerous,
half-broken lee-topsail lift, clear of the
Stating sail. thus reaching the end of
the topsail-yard Fastening one end of
his rope to the spar, he secured the other
firmly about his breast under the arms.
Then he went down by the rope, hand
over hand, until he was at Ben's side.
put your arms round my neck and
cling to my backr' he shouted.
The child obeyed. when, cutting off
some of the rope which had held e
boy, he with it dashed him as well as ne
could to his shoulders. He then climb
ed the gasket by which he hung. and
thus with his burden regained the end
of the topsail-yard. Here he paused a
few moments to lash with some of his
gasket rope, which he now cut clear
from the spar, the little boy more secure
ly to his back. Next, ascending the
perilous lift by which he had come
down, he finally reached the top-gallant
cross-trees with his precious charge. 1t
had been risky work, for the mast,
swaying wildly, seemed every second
ready to 90, and he now fastened to
descend by the shrouds to the deck.
Scarcely had he reached the top when,
both lifts parting, away went the top
gallant mast; and although its falling
showed how narrow had been his
escape, yet he and the boy were now
out of reach from it, as it fell clear OF
them to leeward, dropping into the sea.
Two minutes later little Ben was in
his mothers arms, and, the next mo-
ment, the violence of the gale having
by this time abated, she could make
herself heard as she thanked him with
tears in her eyes.
"Ay,' said the captain. land well
does he deserve your thanks, for a
pluckier rescue | never witnessed.
Heaven bless you, ladr' he added, turn
ing to Tom, land may say that, never
again, while you are aboard this craft,
shall my hand be raised against your
The captain kept his word, and when
the voyage was over he used his influ-
ence to have the youth promoted to the
position of third officer aboard another
vessel, which he was to command. Pre-
vious to this, when all the other men
had been discharged from the Watch
light, Tom had informed the skipper
that the blow he had given the man,
with whom he had fought, had been
dealt to ayenge his speaking disrespect-
fully OF the captains wife He had not
informed the captain of this before, as
he did not wish to act the part of tale
bearer, and have the man punished,
even to save himself from logging.
The same nobility of character which
he had shown aboard the "Watchlight'
was afterwards exhibited in other ways
by Tom Winder, and this, together
with his skill as sailor, finally won for
him the command of as fine ship as
ever ploughed the deep.

NEUTRAL TONES.

A popularity Of the present fashion is
that while all the neutral tones are seen,
such as undecided greens and blues and
reds that look faded by the sun, bright
and snowy colors enjoy, nevertheless,
their full share of favor. These varying
styles are SO admirably handled by skill
full dressmakers that it is difficult to de-
eide which will be preferred. At present
both are adopte and ladies of fashion
that have an extensive wardrobe have
these contrasting toilets for use on differ
ent occasions, according to fancy. They
bring into use the various tones of light
green. such as mignonette, Nile green.
ETC., and bright shades of yellow, such
as orange, Indian yellow, jonquiI. and
the different tones of lemon are as much
worn as red. This color was first seen
in the latter part of the winter on bon
nets, and now the fashion has extended
its use to dresses. Suits in yellow are
generally covered with some kind Of
lace in ecru, black, or seal brown or
with beaded net work. The parts of the
dress that are not covered with lace or
net work have arabesque embroideries,
usually in various shades of reddish
brown. Old mauve is unquestionably
gaining ground, both for bonnets and
toilets For skirts and waists it is en-
ployed under lace or some material in
open work. A number of the small
garments already described are lined
with mauve silk. When the mantles
are of some transparent tissue, forming
for instance an even net work. the
effect of this colored lining is most at
tractive, as the two materials have the
appearance of one.
A toilet of green surah and ecru can.
vas has the front of the canvas skirt
trimmed with green surah bows. A fan
shaped surah plating is down the sides
of the skirt. The redingote is of ecru
canvas, with red and green stripes.
Around the border is passementerie APP
plique work. The corsetet vest is Of
green surah. The narrow sleeves arc
taken in around the arm by bands Of
gray surah fastening down white gauze
puffings. -Neb0 York Times.

10 The Dandelion.

Dear common flower, that grow'st beside the
way,
Fringing the dusty road with harmless gold,
First pledge of btithcsome May.
Which children pluck, and, full of pride, up
hold;
Hish-hearted buccaneers o'er-joyed that
they
An Ell DORADO in the grass have found,
Which not the rich earths ample round
May match in wealth-thou art more dear TO
me
Than all the prouder summer-blooms may be.
Gold such as thine meier drew the Spanish
PROV
Through the primeval hush Of Indian seas,
Nor wrinkled the lean brow
OF age, to rob the lovers heart of ease:
tbs the Springs largess, which she scatters
now
To rich and poor alike, with lavish hand,
Though most hearts never understand
To take it at Gods value, but pass by
The offered wealth with unrewarded eye.
Thou art my tropics and mine Italy;
To look at thee unlocks warmer cline;
The eyes thou givest me
Are in the heart, and heed not space or time:
Not in mid June the golden-cuirassed bee
Feels more summer-like warm ravishment
In the white lily's breezy tent
His conquered Sybaris-tfAln l. when first
From the dark green thy yellow circles burst.
Then think of deep shadows on the grass;
OF the meadows where in sun the cattle
Where, as the breezes pass,
The cleaning rushes lean q thousand ways
OF leaves that Chamber in a cloudy mass,
Or whiten in the wind; of waters blue,
That from the distance sparkle through
Some woodland gap; and OF a sky above,
Where one white cloud like stray lamb doth
move.
My chidhoods earliest thoughts are linked
with thee;
The sight of thee calls back the robins song,
Who, from the dark old tree
Beside the door, sang clearly all day long;
And /, secure in childish piety,
Listened as if heard an angel sing
With news from Heaven, which he did bring
Fresh every day TO my untainted ears,
When birds and flowers and / were happy
peers.
How like prodigal doth Nature seem,
When thou, for all thy gold so common arti
Thou teachest me to deem
More sacredly of every human heart,
Since each reflects in JOY its scanty CLEAN
OF Heaven, and could some wondrous secret
show.
Did we but pay the love we owe,
Andwith a child's undouhting wisdom look
On all these living pages of Gods book

the chiefs and their men have been shot
to prevent further mischief and to save
the trouble of providing for them.
From San Antonio. Texas, it is report
ed that another revolution is imminent
in Tamaulipas, but Diaz evidently has
the upper hand, and the other fellows
probably had not heard of the disaster
at Eucicuida. The possibilities of Mexi-
can revolutionists have been greatly
minimized of late years by the railroad
construction and the incidental facili-
ties for moving troops, so that reports
of formidable uprisinss should be re-
