was the greatest dey of all. Special
trains were run on the fifteen railroads
entering Indianapolis. These and the
regular trains were packed with human

the republican presidential candidate.
This unusual demonstration of an un-
usual campaign was called out by the
presence of Mr.. Blaine in Indianapolis.
He occupied the reviewing stand with
General Harrison, spoke briefly to the
people and in the evening addressed
them at length. In his remarks Mr.,
Blaine told his hearers that one demon
stration like that was worth five hundred
speeches. The visitors came from ell
sections OF the country in organized clubs
and as individuals. IL was a great day
for Indianapolis, Harrison and Morton
and the republican party.

Bitter's the bowels soon throw off the burden

Too Much for the Gypsy.

A gypsy fortune teller called at q
house al few daysago, and finding young
woman at home insisted in laying the
future before her. The young woman
seemed to fall in with the idea, and to
assist the soothsayer, related consider
able OF her past history. making the
details of narrowing love disappoint-
ment very prominent. This seemed to
interest the gypsy very much, as she
listened very attentively. Finally she
took the young woman's hand, and
after studying the lines closely, began
her story. 1t was q long one, princi-
pally devoted to the love affairs OF the
young woman, and the comforting in
formation was vouchsafed that event.
ually all would be well; that the cs-
tranged lovers would be reunited, a
brilliant wedding follow, the good
things OF earth showered upon them,
and, in fact, little chunk of the mil
lennium was to come their way. Then
the gypsy spoke as follows:
Zone dollar, please.
The answer came in about this way:
'!Not cent"
"Why notp" So
"You haven't told me word O!
truth"
Every word of il will come true"
At this point the young woman's
husband and one-year-old daughter,
who had been in another room, came
in to find the cause OF the mysterious
conference, and the gypsy beat hasty
retreat.

Beheading a CORPSE.

The China papers report a case in
which the body of a prisoner was be-
headed after death. He was salt
smuggler, who was concerned in des-
perate fight in the neighborhood of
Shanghai with the custom officers. He
was captured in badly-wounded con-
dition and died in prison. But as he
had been a desperate smuggler the
magistrate received orders from the SUI
perior authorities that the corpse was
to be decapitated. Nothing was done
during the festivities on tho cmperor's
birthday, but August 9th at o'clock in
the morning the magistrate, accompan-
led by the captain of the garrison, pro-
ceeded to the execution ground outside
the west gate of Shanghai City, where
a judicial table and two chairs were
ready for them. Tho coffin of the
smuggler was then deposited close by,
and after short pause, the magistrate
threw down bamboo slip, on which
the punishment was written, and the
executioner forthwith took out the
body and cut off the head. Tho latter
was inclosed in a small wooden cage,
which was sent to be exposed at the
scene Of the crime and the civil and
military mandarins, borne aloft in their
sedan chairs, each returned by n differ
ent street to their respective Offices
