AN Albany physician Of considerable
prominence has-or had until very re-
cently-an Office boy who developed a
fashion for staying out late o. nights. 1t
became quite customary for him to ring
the family up at midnight or later to let
him in. Finally the young doctor grew
tired of it, and when one night the door
bell rang in the wee small hours he re-
solved to take final, decisive step. A
pitcher of ice water was at hand, and
stalking to the window he opened it,
and tossing the water out he shouted :
"There, sir, to the deuce with you'll"
SO far it was all right, and this bit of
history would doubtless have been un-
written if it had not been for the fact
that the recipient of the icy shower
bath was not the delinquent office boy,
but gentleman living across the street,
who had come to summon the doctor to
his wife's bedside.

NOTWITHSTANDING the enormous popu.
lation of India, there are yet vast tracts
of uninhabited territory. According to
official returns, of the total area of 1854,
100000 acres under the direct admins
tration of England, only 152, 900, 900 are
under cultivation. A very large proper
ton of the remainder is returned as unfit
for cultivation, and the forests are cred
tied with 40, 900, 900 acres, but there still
remains no less than so, 900, 900 cultivable
acres as yet untouched by the pillow.

Esquimaux Executions.

The Esquimaux laws are as severe and
merciless as those of the italian Malta.
A traveller relates that for certain Of
Tense native named John Bull was con-
demned to death, but, in accordance
with Esquimaux law, not informed when
the penalty wouldbe inflicted upon him.
He was allowed to return to his home,
and he resumed his daily toll without at
tempting to escape. One morning, a
fortnight prior to the day his Judges had
secretly agreed upon as the date OF his
execution, the culprit's wife was notified
of his approaching death, but threatened
with the ca"ital penalty if she informed
her husband.
When the day arrived he was decoyed
out Of the village by two companions,
and, arriving at the place designated, he
was prostrated on his back; then the
leader delivered q short speech and
called on the man selected to advance
and stab him through the heart, while
he opened the victims clothing and
pointed out the place. The native first
chosen stepped forward, but became so
nervous that his Heart failed him and
second man was called upon to plunge
the fatal knife. Poor John Bull was
firmly held by the twelve assembled
friends, while he was literally butchered
and left on the spot of the terrible act
prey for polar bears and other wild ami
mails which infest the country. Officer
Jordan says the murderer often visited
the ships at anchor and was very careful
to avoid the presence of Captain Spicer,
whom he knew would be sure to wreak
summary vengeance on him were he to
know the circumstances of the death of
his faithful friend, John Chicago

dog. The bull was attached to bale
of cotton on which the negro was seated.
The bale flew onto the bulls back, and
the negro still retained his seat, filling
the whole village with his cries. Moth
ing, however, retarded the animals pur-
suit of the dog, until he collided with II
load of cane. After the collision the
street was strewn for rods around with
negro, cane, cotton, bull, broken har-
ness, etc. Nobody was hurt.

The Women Painters of Paris.

What vast expanse Of canvas is COW
cred with paint every year. M. Bou-
guereau tells me that, reckoning from
the number of artists represented at the
Salon, he estimates tina. there are fully
eight thousand professional picture
painters in Paris. Think of it Eight
thousand men and women trying to earn
their living with their brushesl If they
produce an average of six pictures each
in year, which is a low estimate. we
have $4,000 pictures annually turned
out in Paris.
OF this army of painters more than
one-thlrd are women, among whom is
scarcely one artist of Importance. The
"Women's Union of Painters and Sculp-
tors is a fourishing society, now seven
years old, and Boosting of more
than two hundred members: but on the
entire roll there is hardly a name that
would be recognized outside of Paris,
or, indeed, outside of limited part Of
Paris. Most of them are estimable wo-
men and personally clever. conscien-
tious artists. One great difficulty un-i
der which they labor pertains to secur-i
ing models. 1t is hard for them to get
any models at all, and almost impos-
sible to get models in the nude. The
young woman who thinks nothing Of
posing naked for a male artist, or for
roomful of young men at once, positively'
refuses to undrape herself for a woman
artist Male models are more obligingl
though only few Of them are willing
to pose in the nude for women. The
result Is that many women artists who
wish to paint nude subjects have to con-
tent themselves with copying from
other pictures and photographs. Chi

close of his term will remove to New
York and connect himself as president
of some of the large trust companies, in

THE advance of the Indians in pros

is thought they are by no means anxious
for the government to know how well
off they are. The Indian office has just

walton, near Puget Sound, have made,
according to actual measurement, 90
004 bushels of grain. Here is the grain
crop of one of the reservations that will
amount to nearly as much as the whole

have purchased five new Irvine binders,
for which the government contributes
nothing. How is this for Indian farm

Or all the men who have been in

interesting for the public to learn that
Gen. Harrison is the poorest, writes an
Indianapolis correspondent. As law
yer he has ranked high, but he never
had the pleasure of adding what Chi
cago lawyers would consider a large fee
to his bank account. The firm of Har-
rison, Elan & Miller has been among
the most prominent in Indiana, but its
head is poor man, and with all his
worldly effects included he is not worth
over 50, 900. This is little more than
he allows himself, and two-thirds of it
is invested in the family residence. The
only explanation offered by him for his
not being wealthy is that big fees are
not obtained in indianapolis. The city
has a population of 5000 and it is a
fact not generally known that it contains
but one millionaire. But there are
more people who own their homes in
this than any other city of its size in
the country, and this indicates a divi-
sion of wealth pleasant to contemplate.
There are not many so-called wealthy
men, either, and one reason for this is
said to be the disinclination on the part
of rich men to live here. OF all the
railroads centering here, but one of
them, the Lake Erie and Western, has
a prominent resident official. The
wealthy railroad men live in Cleveland,
Chicago, and elsewhere, where the gen
eral offices of their companies are, and
this is another reason why Gen. Harri-
son has not received large fees. The
Indiana people are not as well provided
for as Illinoisans and Ohioans, and Gen.
Harrison does not see how man can
grow fat by chewing cobble-stones.

have existed concerning Gen. Harrison's
election to the presidency. From almost
complete returns the Republican candi-
date has carried New York by a plurality
of about i, 200. His plurality in Indi-
ana will be close to 4, 1000. The Demos
cratic managers have given up hope and
concede their defeat by the above major
tiles. From reliable sources it would
seem that the Republicans have a slight
majority in the house of representatives.
hAnaoficial count may be necessary to de-
termine this, however. In Illinois Fifer,s
majority will be 1900. Both parties
claim California, but that state cuts no
figure in the result.
