A fitting close of the examples of ver-

which is related of a circumstance that
took place at trial in Lancashire,
England, where one Rev. Mr.. Wood was
called upon as witness.
Upon giving his name, Ottiwell Wood,
the Judge inquired Of the reverend
gentleman: "Pray, Mr.. Wood, how do
you spell your name?"
The gentleman replied:

Upon which the astonished lawyer
threw down his pen, saying that it was
the most extraordinary name he had
ever met with in his life, and after two
or three attempts declared be was un-
able to record it. The court was con-
vulsed with laughter, but the clergyman

VERBAL CURIOSITIES.
Feats in Rhyme and Prose
by Scholars and Wits.
SOME NOVEL VERSIFICAT1ON.
Ciphers and Anagrams-Alphabetic
Sentences-PrOse and
Poetry.

The composition of verbal curiosities
has always been favorite relaxation
with scholars, and many learned men
have amused themselves in this manner
in their moments of leisure. The follow
ing examples OF some of the most ingeni-
GUS OF these word puzzles are CLEANED
from multitude of sources and may be
found of some interest. One Of the most
noted of these productions is now said to
have been written by Rev. Il. Egerton
Warburton, although it was for long
time attributed to the late Prof. Whewell.
This enigma is based upon the near
identity of sound between "cipher" and
"sigh for ;" on the fact that cipher stands
for zero, naught, nothing; that cipher is
also motto or monogram, and that the
exclamation 0 (oh) is shaped nearly like
a cipher (0).
A lady who asked gentleman for q
cipher or motto is said 10 have received
the following reply:
UOa0. but o thee
OOno0, but 0 me.
o let then thy Omy D be,
And give back O0I thee,
Whereupon the lady not to be outdone,
responded as follows:
I'd o your o, but 0 U not,
20 am I, and can't your lot:
ind you 0, and your pain
But 0you o U in vain.
Many writer's have tried their hands at
univocalic verse, or lines in which only
one vowel is employed. One of the best
of these efforts is the ''i'' verse which
pictures the approach of evening:
Idling sit in this mild twilight dim,
Whilst birds in wild. swift vigis, circling skim,
Light winds in signing sink, till rising bright,
Nights virgin pilgrim swims in vivid light.
A favorite experiment has been the
formation of sentences containing the
whole alphabet. OF several specimens

SHOT HIM -FOUR TINES
A Negro Shot for Carrying Notes to
White Girl.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo-, April 20 Charles
Rowland, the leading contractor and
builder Of st. Joseph, and who for the
past three years, ending in 1883, repre-
sented the First ward in the common
council, yesterday afternoon shot and,
perhaps, fatally wounded Lewis Jackson,
a colored porter. The trouble originated
over notes that Jackson had
been carrying from some un-
known party in the city to Now
lands lsyear-old daughter. Rowland
found out that Jackson was carrying the
notes, and had him arrested. AT the mar.
shall S office Rowland threatened to kill
him unless he would tell the name.
jackson refused. and Rowland at that
time was prevented by the police from
shooting him. Late last night he
went into the marshal's office,
where Jackson was still under guard,
and put four bullets into his
body, two in his legs and two in his
breast. Jackson refused until the last TO
give the name of his employer. A charge
of assault with intent to Kill was made.
and Rowland released under 50. 600
bonds.

SYRACUSE, N. Y, April 29.-The
daughter of George Rath, a German
laborer, who lived in a shanty on the
Erie canal tow-path, was taken sick on
March Is with a cold which finally settled
on her lungs. On March 22 She ceased
to breathe, and her father, thinking she
was dead, made preparations for her
funeral. The girl was buried two
days later in the Yeddes cemetery.
The old mans sorrow at the loss of his
daughter and the fear that he had buried
her alive led him to dig open the grave a
few days ago. The cover Of the rough
colin was removed, the old man was
horror stricken TO SEC the body of his
child lying or its side with the face ter
ribly scratched and the hair knotted and
tangled over her ewes Rath became so
terribly frightened that he merely re-
placed the cover, threw q little loose
earth upon II and fled from his house.
The discovery by the sexton today that
the grave had been tempered with re.
vealed and verified the old mans stoiy.

A very interesting list is that of the
countries to which English beer is sent,
says the London Figaro. While Romania
showed its bad taste by only taking three
barrels all told. China reported S,127
barrels during 1888, and even France
1881. The fact that the small commun-
ty at Alden drank 4, PA barrels Of British
beer during 1888 only confirms the popu-
lar notion as TO the very arid and thirsty
nature of that sun burned rock. In
Egypt the contamination in 1888 of so
large a quantity as 9,2l7 barrels was
doubtless due in great measure to the
British occupation, while the thirty
seven barrels sent to Persia during the
past year were d btless intended either
for the shah's palace or the British en-
bassy. Who shall say, though, where
British beer will not penetrate next,
when five barrels were sent all the way
to Muscat, and no less than sixty-one Tin

this state, of the new dry dock Of the
Chesapeake Dry Dock and Construction
company and which has been completed
at a cost Of 1880, 600, marks a new era in

also have an important bearing upon the
ship building interests Of the country. 1t
is the initial step for a gigantic scheme
for the building of iron ships upon
southern soil, and for furnishing docking
privileges for the largest vessels afloat at
a convenient point near the ocean. The
docks, which are the largest in the coun-
Try, nave been over two years in con

DENVER GRAVE-IOBBERS
An Emissary Tries to Get a Ransom
for a Stolen Body.

DENVER, Colo, April 26.-About a
year ago James Greenway was taken i'll
and after a brief sickness died, leaving
considerable property TO his wife. Since
the death Of her husband Mrs. Greenwav
was accustomed to keep his grave in good
condition and to decorate it with flowers.
Yesterday, Mrs. Greenway visited River
side cemetery and was attending to the
flowers, when she noticed a strange wo-
man approaching. Surprising the latter
TO be there on a mission similar to her
own, MIS-. Greenway paid slight attention
to he stranger. When she finally looked
Up AND their eyes met, the stranger re-
marked:
What do you plant flowers on that
grave forf"
because 1T is the grave of my hus-
band, > was the subdued reply.
well, you need not plant any more or
give the grave any further attention, as
the body of your husband is not there"
"Wha. do you mean?" nervously asked
Mrs. Greenway, growing apprehensive
and casting a look of anxious inquiry at
the strange woman.
II mean Just what | say" was the cool
reply. Tine remains OF your husband
have been removed. If you considerthem
worth q small ransom I believe could
secure and return them. provided that
you keep quiet, and conditioned upon no
questions being asked"
Mrs. Greenway hurried to the sections
house and informed him what she had
heard, and an Investigation proved that
the body had been removed. The officers
were notified, but all efforts to find the
strange woman proved futile.
