Paris and London Compared.

Paris interests me more, or at least en-
tertains me more, than London. It Is
more foreign, more brilliant in its shops
and drives IL more volatile in it's dispo-
sition. The climate, too, is better, 1t is
not quite 80 warm rs the day we sailed,
but the sky Is blue, the sun warm, IA
breeze blows and all Paris is in the open
air. The fog and smoke that darkened
London, and which make every inhabitant
a smoke consumer there, are both hap
PLY absent In Paris. Then, again, the
eating here Is infinitely superior. Eng
land is more c~eremonious, more dignitied,
and London is more ponderous. 1t strikes
me as a great physical and intellectual
force. Paris, per contra, is organized TO
minister TO the eye and ear and passion,
to physical enjoyment In its most stump
tnous and sensuous forms. While at thu
MetropQle gentlemen were expected to
wear dress suits every evening at table
d'hote and to stalls at the theatre, and
ladies to go without bonnets, and, as a
rule, to dress decollete; In Paris a dress
suit or q dress open at the throat are eX-
ceptions.
There are Americans here Mt this hotel
by the score. but it is "a wonderfully quiet
place when contrasted with the Mctropole
in London. The comparison is fair. be

of the very first rank The strawberries
here are phenomenally large and of su-
perb favor, and do not nave that hard
and insipid core that large American Der

from ours, and is decidedly better. AS

Wanted the Currency.

Some women have very queer notions
of banking methods. Two ladies went
into a Main street bank, says the Buff
falo Courier, and made 4 sight draft on
a Niagara Falls man for a certain
amount. They were not regular GUS
toners of the bank, and they were told
to CONF back in a few days and get
their money. They returned on Satur-
day and asked for their money.
"What money!"
THE money you said we could have
on Saturday."
II don't know you, madam; whom
did you see when you called before?"
"Some man."
Eyes, that's right" continued her
companion, Its just as she says and
they told her to come back after the
money"
what money was it?n
"We made a draft on a man at the
Falls on Thursday, and he told us we
could have the money on Saturday."
swell, it will take at least four days
to collect the money. He would have
one day in which to accept the draft,
and then three days in which to pay it.
And then one or two days more would
elapse before we heard from the bank
at the Falls"
well, that's nice. We want that
money. and l don't see why we can't
have it now. Wen go right down to
the Falls on the next train and find out
all about it," and they founced away
in high dudgeon with the bank.

And she would have told him that
she thought she did, and if he didn't
like it he could go and get another girl,

she wouldn't have taken any notice OF
the remonstrance. But he was a young

was going to take her to the theater,
and, knowing her popularity, he put a

DAKOTA EBwA
DEyLrsH DEEDS OF A HALF BREED

.FN --~ ELA@@
Dakota Furnishes Anethsr Declaealy Flshy
~ Of Crime.
For months q certain degree Of mystery
has surrounded the movements Of John
Laplant, a Sioux Indian half breed, on .
ranch at Willow creek, fifteen miles west
Of Pierre, d. T., near the old Deadwood
stage road on the Sioux reservation. lap
lant's ranch was formerly the stopping
place Of Black Hills travellers. Many peo-
pie who left Pierre for the Hills were never
heard from after leaving Pierre. A few
days ago Laplant was detected In cattle
stealing. A posse organized at Pierre to 60
ont and take the cattle. Upon peaching the
ranch the bird had flown, but the appearance
Of things looked very suspicious and they
returned to town and reported. The
sheriff, with a number Of citizens, proceed
ed to the ranch to make q thorough inves-
tigation Of the premises. The house was
first examined. In one room Of the house,
in front Of q bead, was observed what ap-
peared to be an opening or trap door. With
an AK this was pried ont and was found to
BIO hung on hinges, SO it would drop when
a cord was pulled, the cord extending from
a bolt under the door to q room occupied
by Laplant. Opening the trap door it was
found to be twelve feet deep and fourteen
feet square. Ladders and lanterns were
hastily provided and an examination OF
the cave was made. As soon az the
trap was dropped the stencil that arose was
terrible. The examination of the concern
revealed a number Of skHletons-twelve
grown human beings and two small ones.
No clothing wal found in the hole. The
only article that was found wa an iron
bar about two feet in length, which, it is sup
posed the fiend used to murder his victims
with after he had dropped them into this
hole. The ranch is in a lonely spot on the
bank of q creek ten miles from any
human habitation. Laplant has moi been
seen for several days. It is believed he has
fed to some Of the Indian agencies ON the
Upper Cheyenne.

Tell.Tale FOOTPRINTS.

In a letter to his friend Nj. Morritt,
of Rokeby Park, Sir Walter Scott tells
Of a somewhat curious method which
was employed in Galloway for the ar.
rest of q man who had put to death o
young woman. The crime had becr
committed in a wayside cottage, and
tho only possible clew was a footprint
on the clay floor of the humble resi-
dence.
Suspicion, however, fell upon q GER
tain individual, o young mar living in
the same village. But on mere sus-
picion only no arrest could be mads.
The local minister, therefore, adver-
tised from the pulpit that the girl
would be buried on q certain day, and
that all persons in the neighborhood
were invited to attend the funeral to
show their detestation of the crime, a.
we'll as to evince their own innocence.
He calculated that by adopting this
course he would be able to gather to.
gether every one in the locality.
When the people had assembled in
the kirk the doors we're locked by the
Sherif's order, and the shoes of all the
men were examined. BY this plan the
murderer-who was observed to dis
play great and fear-was
detected. a popularity in his shoe ex-
actly corresponding to a mark in the
footprint. Afterward the wretchea
man confessed.
Footprints, indeed, have led to many
arrests. Very few persons have feet Of
the same shape, and unless q man be
wearing a 9 pair of boots it is proba-
BILE that he would leave q footprint
with peculiarities of its own.-London
Exchange.
