Senator vance's Story.

From the New York Tribune.
Senator Vance was discussing in group Of
democratic friends the other day the curious
reasoning one of his colleagues in the Senate
frequently INDUCES in. 'It is about a. salts
factory" remarked Mr.. vsnce, "as the reason
ing of the negro about his crazy old clock.
Being twitted with its jerky and spasmodic be-
havior, he declared that he could tell the time
of day by it as well as by any clock in the world
Yer see, boss said he, when de hour hand
pints to 4, and the mint hand to half-past IL,
and she strikes 9, den knows it's adzactly
o'clock That's the way Brother c. some
times reasons to demonstrate clear case of
cause and effect''

Sunday, December %, three-year-old child
of L. P. Oldson, of East Sioux Falls, ID. T., died
from dropsy, and preparations were made to
bury the child on Tuesday, but as the ground
was very slippery from the recent sleet storm
it was postponed until the next day. That
night the body showed evidences of returning
life. Color would frequently come into parts
of the body and then entirely disappear. There
were also other evidences of life. The funeral
is now indefinitely postponed until it is decided
whether or not the child is dead

A Priori Reasoning.

From the Boston Transcript
"And SO Smith kicked you? My dear sir, you
are mistaken. There is SO such thing as q
kick. The aggregation of atoms which con.
vention calls Smith was disturbed in some way
SO as to convey to your senses the idea that he
did something which we call kick, and you
received the force thereof. But logically
speaking, there is no evidence that he kicked
or that you were kicked"
II see. Now let me try it ON you"
'Ah, now you descend to a priori reasoning.
You'll excuse me if l decline to pursue the
subject further.

BRIGAND WHO MURDERED An ITALIAN NOBLE
MAN ARRESTED IN THIS COUNTRY.
Pietro Dinarvo, an italian brigand, who rob-
bed and murdered the Marquis Giulio San
duzz, at the latter's villa, near Torella, Italy,
in 1886, was arrested Thursday by Inspector
Byrnes' men, who found him at Stamford,
Conn.,, and he will be taken back to Italy, ex-
tradition papers having already been granted.
The marquis was very wealthy and noted for
his benevolence, and was killed while heroic
ally resisting three burglars, led by Dinarvo,
who had entered the villa and were riding the
stronghold. They secured over 100, 900 francs.
The affair made great sensation throughout
Italy. Two of the robbers were caught in the
mountains. They confessed and betrayed
Dinarvo, but he escaped from the country.
The New York police were notified, and after q

The Cost of Learning to Ride.

From the New York Sun.
The difference between what is necessary and
what can be expended to fit a man for lessons
in riding school is to be observed in any Of
the schools on any day. Scores of handles
spend hundreds of dollars each in order to use
s25 worth of riding tickets. They buy fancy
saddles, hunting boots, plated spurs, fancy
waistcoats, leather-seated knee breeches, espe-
cial coats, and regular riding gloves and whips.
But side by side with them and looking equally
well are more practical men, who make one sole
provision for the exercise and at a cost of less
than quarter of dollar. That provision is a
pair of straps on the bottoms Of the legs Of a
pair of old trousers which they keep hanging
up in their lockers at the school. With ladies il
is different. lady cannot take riding lessons
without riding habit, boots, and hat. The
only outfit worth having costs S1l5.

Detroit Friday, in Judge Hosmer's court, a
boy twelve years old and girl of eight stood
in a corner of the courtroom with their arms
tightly clasped around an old lady's neck and
screaming Justify. The case was an attempt
on the part of Christopher Craft to get control
of his children who had run away from their
stepmother to live with their grand
mother. The court decided that the
children must go back to their father.
Then the storm broke. The children broke
into such fierce yells that court had to be adj
journed. They defed every attempt to take
them from their grandparents. Lawyers pres
ent began to take sides, one bystander drew a
knife, to protect the children and riot seemed
imminent when Judge Hosmer hurriedly called
the court to order and said the grandmother
might have the children a day or two longer.
Then the boy and girl broke out into smiles
and ran out of the room.

WORD OF WARNING.

PASTOR AND ELDER FIGHT IN CHuRcH.-It has
leaked out at Columbus, Ohio, that at a meeting
of the officers of the Christian church last Mon
day evening the troubles that have arisen be-
cause of the bad reports concerning their new
pastor, Rev. Frederick Bell, eliminated in an
encounter between the pastor and Elder Finn.
Finn urged the dismissal of the pastor and
said he had letters proving him first-class
fraud. Rev. Bell. wild with rage, leaped upon
the elder and bearing him down between the
pews choked him until he was black in the face
They were separated and the meeting ad-
journed in confusion
