Vigorous Blockade.
A certain educational institution not
O hundred miles from Albany has q
series Of very rigid rules relative to
conduct Of its students outside OF
school hours. One of these rules is
to the effect that no young lady
student must go out after dark in
the company Of q man, be he OF high
or low degree. This rule is en-
forced very strictly and the young
ladies are much in terror of the
penalties alleged to be inflicted
upon any unfortunate creature
caught violanting the rule. Re-
Gently, however, q young lady
student attended an entertainment
upon the invitation of a lady of her
acquaintance and was unfortunate
enough to be discovered by q grim

in question. The teacher was evil

people were Just behind her, how
ever, and saw her pause before the
boarding-house. They retired to
the shadow Of the trees and waited.

JUpsE poDp,s CRIME.

A CraeI Deed rerpetrssed by one
Of CIeveIand's Appointees.
The following account OF 9 brutal
murder by Pardon Dodd at Vernsl,
Uintah county. Utah. is taken from
a recent issue Of the Provo American;
Dodd and Crane and a man BY the
name of Coon were playing pool in
the saloon at vernal, owned by
Brown 4 Stinaker, on the afternoon
Of Friday, when the trouble 0

Crane was drunk, it seems, and dur

you can't pay for q game I will pay
for it, but don't steal the balls and

and used the most foul language,
which was all directed at Dodd, and
which be continued to use for
about two hours and O half. He

Beauty of American women's Feet.

American women have made Paris
their second home for SO long that
there is little to be said about their de-
meanor here. They are great favor
ties with dressmakers, and especially
admired for their little feet. The
French shoemakers say that they
shave down the lasts Of even the
Spanish women to fit the beautiful
American foot. A well-arched foot
looks better in a boot than in a shoe,
and it is sad to see a foot crumpled up
in a tight slipper and a too high heel
"a perfect piece OF Chinese deforin-
ity. To do Americans justice, they
do not have TO squeeze their feet to
make them look small, and the only
advice to give them is TO go to Eng
land for their walking shoes and to
learn to walk more.-Guide de Ia

"Well, that hardly comes under

it's more interestin' to my neighbors

The First Train from Paris.

Paris is making preparations for spe- ,lal jubilee of her own. A few weeks hence it will be fifty years since the first train steamed out of Paris and reached the suburb of St. Germain. The guard Of that train is still alive and has strange accounts to give of the journey and of the preparations for it It seems to have been scarcely such triumph for France, after all The engine, of course, was English, and the driver and stoker were English too. The engine ran on four wheels, and was a singular contrast 10 present locomotives, but the first class carriages were almost of the same pattern as that still in use on the line. The sec Ond class were open, furnished with cur tains to keep of the sun, and beyond the curtains nets were stretched to prevent too curious travellers from losing their balance and their lives.
 French taste asserted itself in the de- partments of costume and music. The guards had a uniform of blue, and guld buttons, and were supplied with hunting horns. Great importance was attached to the horns, which were to represent the comets used by the positions of the mail coaches. For a week before the first journey the guards carefully rehearsed c fanfare, which was tO be played with great spirit on the departure and just be- fore the arrival of the train. They have changed many things on French lines in fifty years, and among others have sub stituted railway whistles for hunting horns.-Boston Transcript.

THE rumors in Washington are that Acting Commissioner Stockslsger wouli be appointed commissioner of the gen eral land office to succeed Mir. Sparks seems 10 be without much foundation. EK-Senstor McDonsid of Indiana called upon Secretary Lamar the other day and spent over m hour with him, dur ing which he vigorously urged MT. Stockslsger's appointment The lstter's attempt tO kick over the traces some time ago. in the matter of signing the Omaha indemnity lists, rather set La mar against the red headed gentleman from Indiana, whom he had rather in clined to give Mir Mcdonald aay en- courRgement.
 The President, who is quite anxious to get @ good lawyer and business man at the head of the land office is very much wrapped up in the idea of carry ing Indiana this year and is slowly sue cumbing to the domineering of Senator Voorhees, who has been for some time clsmoring for Mir. Stockslsger's appoint ment, and at the same tune demanding that his nephew. @ mediocre young at- torney here. whose chief business is dragging around the departments after bis uncle, be made district attorney for the first district. Mir. Stockslsger, who IS a sort of dough man with @ predilic- tion for following the advice of the last counsellor. already has experience, but very lI'tle fitness for the place.
 President Cleveland, however. has got ibe Indiana fever so bad, ss 6 flippant politician expressed 1t, that be has reg ular Wabash "shake" every time sena- tor Voorhees, comes near the White House. and he will probably appoint Mir.

The Travelling Pubnc to Blame.

Perhaps collisions at sea between great steamships will become entirely impos- sible some day; but it will not be until the travelling public gets over its present hurry. If steamships came to full stop the moment the fog settled down on them, or just as soon as another fog horn than their own was heard, there would not be any serious chance of their coming to- gether. By code of signals under such circumstances one vessel might even ad- vance slowly while the other stood ready to back, until it was certain that they had passed each other. But this would be slow work, and the growing of the pas sengers at the delay would probably drive the commander to suicide or viO- fence. No, the public itself is not yet quite willing to travel safely.-New York Tribune.

A REGULAR howl against the proposed reduction of the tariff on lead is going up from the entire mining region of the west. The board of trade of Salt Lake has printed thousands of petitions which are being eagerly signed through all She mining regions of Utah. Montana and Idaho, praying congress to let the tariff on lead remain ss it is. Even that stsunch Democratic journal, the Mis- souri Republican. after coDgratulating the President on bis free trade message, mildly suggests that the lead interes: should be let alone for the reason that if the tariff should be removed the great lead interest of Missouri would be para lyzed. Should the tariff on lead be re- moved, there cen be no doubt that the west would be completely ruined. and even in this section, where most of the ore is dry, the effect would be felt quite seSerely-in some instances ne cessitatiDg The shutting down of mines and plants. The Enterprise is pleased to see that Anthony Joseph. cur Demo cratic delegate to congress, has come out squsrely sgsinst the tsrlff on wool, and now hopes that hs will look after the interests of his mining constituents with equal zeal and frsDkness. In his position on wool Mir. Joseph has shown thst he is with his people notwithstand- ing the principles of of his party, and under such circumstances be can hardly refuse to look after the lead industry 6. well.-Silver City Enterprise.

Result of Stage KneeIing.

'sHousemaid's knee has long held a recognized and honorable place among the ills which flesh is heir tO-honorable be- cause, as we know, ''Who sweeps a floor as for Gods law makes that and the ac- ton fine" The prevailing taste for emotional drama has developed varia- ton of this complaint which may be called leading lady's knee" Mrs. Kendall is the first victim, or at any rate the first whose case has been recorded. Lady Clancarty has to impOrtune, first her fiinty hearted brother, and then the more complaisant king, for mercy toward her husband. This involves such continual kneeling that Mrs. Kendall has been for some time suffering the pains hitherto held peculiar to houseInaids and nuns. She now kneels upon a cushion.-Pan Mall Gazette.

India's Professional Po,son.r..

Although the Thugs of India have been long since exterminated, Hindoo writer in The London Standard tells how they have been replaced by professional poison CTS. These people make use of a poison extracted from the seed of the ahatura, mixed with opium. and travel from place to place, now poisoning a travelling con- panion for his money, laborer for his oxen or q host for the valuables in his house. They are distinguished from the Thugs in that they kill women, children and pilgrims, which the Thugs would not do. The road prisoners are organized secretly, and great efforts have been made to exterminate them, but thus far with out success.-New Orleans Times-Demo- craf

p.fv,ng spanish Court Etioue,te.

The queen regent of Spain is knocking the blue laws of Spanish etiquette tO pieces at jolly rate The other day she called a meeting of the ministry at the Castle of Aranjuez. When the statesmen reached the gate of the park they found the qneen and the Princess Isabel waiting for them. The queen was in victoria and the Princess Isabel was in a drag and four The queen was driving. She in- vited Senor Sagasta to take a seat beside her, and the other ministers were accom- modated in the drag On reaching the castle coffee was brought, and the queen ordered cigars to be produced as well and offered to the gentlemen. The ministers seemed to hesitate. In all the annals of Spanish history no subject had ever smoked in the presence of a queen. The queen regent, however, gave the com mand, and the ministers, like dutiful sub jects, obeyed. Gold sticks and chamber lains have been ever since in hopeless despondency.-New York Tribune.
