The Strange Key OF Death.

About 1000 stranger named Tebal-
do established himself as a merchant
in Venice. He became enamored of
the daughter of an ancient house, and,
asking her hand, was rejected, the
young lady being already affianced.
Enraged, he set himself to plan r.
venge, and, being skillful mechani-
clan, he invented formidable weapon.
This was large key, the handle of
which could be turned easily. Being
turned, it discovered q spring, which,
when pressed, sent out from the other
end of the key needle of such fine
ness that it entered the flesh and
buried itself there, leaving no external
trace. With this weapon Tebaldo
waited at the church door till the
maiden he loved passed into her mar
riage. Then, unperceived, he sent the
slender needle into the breast of the
bridegroom, who, seized with a sharp
pain from an unknown cause, tainted,
was carried home. and soon died, his
strange illness battling the skill of the
physicians. Again Tebaldo demanded
the maiden's hand. and was again re-
fused. In few days both her parents
died in like mysterious manner. Sus-
picion was excited, and on examination
of the bodies the small steel instrument
was found in the flesh. There was
universal terror; no one felt that his
own life was secure. The young lady
went into convent during her mourn
ing, and, after few months, Tebaldo
begged to see and speak with her, hop
ing now to bend her to his will. She,
with an instructive horror of this man,
who had from the first been displeasing
to her, returned decisive negative;
whereupon Tebaldo contrived to wound
her through the CRATE. On returning
to her room she felt pain in her
breast and discovered n single drop of
blood. Surgeons were hastily sum-
moned. Taught by the past, they cut
into the wounded part, extracted the
needle, and saved her life. Tebaldo
was suspected. his house was searched,
the key discovered. and he persisted on
the gallows.
There is a tradition that Duke Fran
els of Padua had poisoned key of a
similar character which unlocked his
private library. When he desired to
rid himself of an obnoxious member Of
his household or suite he would send
him to bring certain volume from his
bookcase. AS the key was turned in
the lock out shot a poisoned needle,
stabbed the hand of the holder and in
stantly shot back again. Examination
of the hand revealed only small, dark
blue spot, but in few moments the
person grew strangely giddy, and
would b. found on the floor, apparent
ly in fit. In twenty-four hours he
would be dead, and verdict rendered
"apoplexy."

The following telegram has been issued:
To the members of the Knights OF Labor.

eTal secret meetings in the city OF Philadelphia,

Dor has departed or diverged from the original
designs when organized in 1862 TO the destruc-
tion OF the principles OF selfgovernment lying
at the base OF American institutions. As the
order OF the Knights OF Labor was founded for
the purI ose OF abolishing poverty by securing
to the laborer the fruits OF his toll, aid as We,

noting that theory which widens the
SUIT age, is jealous of the rights Of the
States, end insists on the rigorous en-
forcement OF every constitutional limit of
the Federal powet." This is true in part
ouiy. There is no record of any political
organization called "ths Democratic par
ty etilier than 1928. The present
organization of that title took its
name just sixty years ago and no
more. Calhoun was its master spirit
AID infused his principles into its blood
The great central principle of the
Democracy always has been State SOW
ereignty and the RIGHT of secession. rather
than national sovereignty and indissoluble
unity. That and hostility to internal rev.
enue taxes. especially on whisky, they
undoubtedly owe TO Mr.. Jefferson. As for
W
with Mr.. Jefferson, who did not bestir
himself TO make voters out of nom land
holding Virginians. Nor has it been with
the Democracy, which fought tie Repub-
licans when they made the colored man a
vote, and in the cotton States has thus
far succeeded in multiplying the constitu-
tional amendment and laws which make
the loyal black man the political peer of
the white rebel. The Democratic plan of
widening the suffrage, as seen in opera
ton in New York, Cincinnati. and Chic1-
90. has been to have the broadcast possible
field for the work of rereaters and men
holding forged naturalization papers.
On State sovereignty and hostility to
cologed men alone has the Democracy been
consistent. On all other issues il has been
on all sides of the fence. Once it was
against internal improvements; now it
favors them. Once it fought and de-
stroyed United States bank; now it ac-
quiesces in the national bank system.
Once it fought the creation and issue of
greenbacks, but when they became badly
deprecated ut the end of the war it de-
handed large enough issue to pay off"
the natioaal dod, and opposed all meas
ures for their redemption in coin or the
resumption of specie payments. Now it
PRESSES to be pleased with both. Now it
says il is for free trade and the internal
revenue tax on liquor, but those whom it
calls its leaders were not always hostile
to protection. Jackson was for high
tariff b IL, and Calhoun favored protection
while he thought it benefited the South,
and no protective tariff was ever more rad
ical than the embargo of jefferson and the
war which followed it, which transformed
New England from commercial into a
manufacturing community. But with all
its mutations there is one thing for which
the Democratic party has been steadfast
and persistent-its love of Office and
partisan spoils. Chicago Tribune.

Things 10 BE Avoided.
! betray egotism.

Do not betray egotism.
Avoid argument in company"
BE alert to avoid absence of mind.
Never interrupt the person who is
speaking.
Avoid all remarks intended to have
double meaning.
Fault-fnding, though gentle criti-
cism, is not in good taste.
Avoid beginning conversation by
an allusion to the weather.
Do not be satirical save in defense OF
yourself against impertinence.
Do not ask to have a sentence re-
peated unless You actually failed to
hear it. Many persons have con-
tracted the careless habit of saying
"What ?" "Eh?" and the like.
Avoid using the word "she' or "he,"
accompanied by nod of the head or
Jerk of the thumb in the direction Of
the person spoken of, but speak the
name of the lady or gentleman.

Gov. Warehouse Commutes the Long Sen
tencc of "Bill " Ryan.
Jefferson City MOI dispatch1

Bill hyan. the train-robber, has been
granted Communication of his twenty-five
years term by Gov. Morchouse. The Gov
ernor's reasons for granting the commuta-
ton are:
William or Bill Ryan was member OF what
was known rs the James gang He was but a
boy, and came of an honorable and respected
family OF jackson County He was no doubt
guilty OF violations Of the law, but from state
ments in the petition submitted and from other
information L believe he was the least guilty
member OF the band. nun who was much
de per stepped in crime and who was more
guilty on these specific charges was pardoned
out o. the penitentiHry TO convict him. and he
has been punished more than any member OF
the gang. Justice therefore, demands that he
should receive this clemency.'
Ryan has been confined in the peniten-
tiary since Oct. 1G. 1881 He was convicted
of completely in tho Blue Cut train robbery
on the Chicago and Alton Railroad i'm 1881.
The testimony on which he was convicted
was given by Tucker Basham. IA member Of
the james gang. who was pardoned out OF
the penitentiary by Gov. Crittenden in
order to secure the conviction of Ryan.
Ryan s conduct as prisoner has been ex-
celent. For some time after his incarcera-
ton he did clerical work for one of the shoe
companies but was attcrward transferred
TO the cell buildings which he had charge.
Ryan will be n free man April rs. 1889.
