leased. From the Baltimore papers and
other sources we CLEAN the following ac-
count Of the circumstances which led 70
the arrest
"Wednesday, July nth instant, Mr..
James Cooley, Of Washington, purchased Of
young man q fms mare for SIS, the seller
asserting that the pressing need OF the
money compelled him 90 dispose OF the
animal az that price. Dir. Cooley became
suspicious and reported the case 70 Detec-
tive Joseph Mattingly, who called on the
seller of the horse and il is claimed that
upon requesting him 20 write the name
Frank Bowling, under which the horse
was sold found that he spelled il two o.
three different ways. When the detective
expressed surprise a. not knowing how 70
spell his own name, the yodng man said tae
name he had given was not his right name
and that his name was j. c. Russell He va:
then arrested, taken to the station house
and Sheriff Ching notified"
: The young man charged with this crime
is well known in our county under the
name of Gotten Russell. He says that he
did not steal the horse, that he can prove
that he was in Washington ora the day Tho
horse was stolen and that he bought ths
horse. We hope that Russell may be able
to satisfactorily explained his connection
with the affair aud that when the case i
heard he mag prove his innocence.

in America. NY driver wore nothing but
a waist cloth and turban and he took me a
mile for 2 cents. He twisted the tails of the
bullocks 10 make them go and / noted that
the horns OF his bulls were covered with gold
paper.
These bullocks are the sacred beasts of
India and they form in connection with the
water buffalo the beasts of burden of the
country. They plow the land and haul the
carts, and at Benares I visited a temple
where there were at least 100 of them in stalls
around a court yard and men and women
we're feeding them with flowers and praying
before them as they did so. They are the
most beautiful thing 1 have yet seen in eat
tie, With smooth, dove-eolored skins they
have all the delicate outlines of the Jersey
cow added to majesty of action and
grandeur of size, which makes them nobly
beautiful.
They have ears twice as long as our COWS
and they walk as though they contained,
as the Indians doubtless suppose, some of
the noblest human spirits of the past. In
contrast with them the water buffalo be-
comes uglier than ever. 1t is uglier than
the bippopotamus and is COW with wide,
fat, crirving horns, neck which comes
straightout from the shoulders, a belly
which is bloated and ill-shapen and a thin,
struggling, black hair, which looks more
like the bristles of hog than the hair of a
COW. They delight in wallowing in the
dirt, and they seem to have more of the pig
nature than the COW nature. Like the sa-
cred cows they are milked and worked and
the butter of both is q white, cheesey-like
mixture, which has none of the flavor of the
Jersey cream article.

wase. at Flfty Cent, Per Week.

Wages are terribly low and millions of
men in India live, marry and raise children
on an income of 80 cents week. This is
q good income for a family, and women
work in the fields for cents day. and
MANY servants get little more than a dollar
a month. The embroidery of India is
noted the world over, and there is as much
skill in the making of patterns and doing
this work on cloth with gold and silver
thread as there is in the art work of the
Western world. A good embroiderer gets
from 81 to So a month, and men working on
the railroads In minor positions get about
the same.
An American or German would starye on
such an allowance, but the Indians who
get this much grow fat. Among the
workingmen of the world they have
reduced themselves to the least number
of wants. They pay no millinery bills
and they never have tailor. They need
neither needles nor thread and it is against
their religion to drink. The Hindoo eats
no meat nor any animal fat and he lives
upon the cheapest Of rice and millet These
with vegetables and milk make up his diet.
and as rule he has not enough to fill his
stomach. Whenever the crops ail there is

A Pure Piece of Architecture.

This condition of India has been the same
for ages. The people seem to have always
been poor and the fabulous wealth Of India
has always been in the hands Of a few. The
English have their powerful grip on it now
and their palaces and luxurious residences
dot the face of the country. They squeeze
out OF the land just about the same amounts
that the mogul kings did in times gone by,
and here at Agra are the ruins which show
how India was ground down in the past.
Here is the Tai Mahal, the most beauti-
full and the purest piece of architecture ever
designed or built by man, which was erected
in the seventeenth century by one of the
mogul kings as a tomb for his wife,
1t lies on the banks of the great Jumna
river. Built upon a mosaic platform OF stars
of black and white marble, covering fully
two acres, it rises beautiful tower upward
for ia feet. Here it ends in turrets and
from its center springs great bubble-like
dome of white marble, inside of which
four-story house of so feet front could be
lost, but which is so regularly cut that it
might have been the work of Grecian
sculptor, and the proportions of which are
such that it seems in perfect harmony with
the great octagonal tower below.
The whole is a mass of fine stones and
white marble so inlaid and carved that it is
more like Jewel of mosaic than an archi-
tectural structure. Its doors are lace work
of the purest white marble. In its interior
there is enough of this marble lace to fence
in a city block. The whole structure is
marvel of workmanship, and Bishop Heber
has well described it in saying that its

in his native city. where. for time, he
figured as lottery office keeper, q writer of
pamphlets and attorney-at-law, under the
fresh alias of William Parke. But evil
days were falling on him. His mstchless
genius was unrecognized, and in May. 1774,
Lord Mansfield condemned him to Be fined
Fl, 500, and to remain in Jail until the fine
was paid, for cheating the excise. How he
escaped from Newgate history tells not. but
escape be did, and In 1880 was as hard at
work as ever in that final and fatal branch
OF art which was to end in his ruin. Sud-
denly, at the Bank of England, was pre-
sented e10 note, so perfect in engraving,

known only to one special department at
the bank, was wanting, and the note was
stamped with the fatal word forgery" the
punishment of which then was death.
Within month many similar notes were
found to be in circulation, but no trace of
the forger, who, for time, defed detection.

whenever passed, were presented sometimes
by boy, sometimes by an elderly woman
in black, sometimes by an aged gentleman
attended by footman. But, in every case,
no sooner wss the cash obtained than the re-
cipient disappeared, and left no trace of his
whereabouts. And all this time, when the
whole city was raging with the news of
some fresh forgery, Price himself would sit
in coffee house and calmly discuss the
whole affair.
In single week he, under the alias of
Mr.. Willmott-driving his own private car
riage-with the help Of clever boy, con-
trived to pass go e10 notes at various
fashionable shops, and even had the audac-
ity to call at q well-known bank and
get IA ESQ notes changed for seven

until they reached the Bank of England,
and were stamped as forgeries. Incredible

THE MAIN FACTS.
How the Wheels of Justice Were CIogEed
In a Kansas Town.

~ y @AttHset 1yWas
Time.l
A Kansas press correspondent, in carry
ing out the instructions to briefly confne
himself to important items, sent in the fol-
lowing:
"On the afternoon of the 10th inst, some
cowardly poltroon stole three ropes from
our citizens tree of Justice
"The tree stands on the river bank two
miles from town, and was selected by our
people, some years ago, on account Of its
three strong limbs at suitable height, and
the handy river facilities for the disposal
of the remains.
si''The crime must have been committed
sometime during the afternoon, for the
three ropes we've in use at 2 P. M, and
when two of them were again needed at s
P. NJ, they were missing.
''The wheels of justice were clogged for
nearly an hour or until more ropes could be
procured from town.
"a reward has been offered for the catch
ing of the thief, and the catcher will be
permitted to occupy the place of honor at
the citizens end Of the halter.
''There are suspicious that the thieYing
was the work of White Caps, as the two
men in the citizens hands at the time were
from the ranks of that order.
''The scales of the blind-folded goddess are
never allowed to get rusty in this section,
and our people are justly indignant when
ever any galoot interferes with their work.
ings."
The next day the following was de-
Epatched:
"The mystery is solved, and the ropes
have been returned In good shape. They
were not stolen, as was supposed, but were
borrowed by some highly respectable set
tiers, six miles up the river, whose pressing
need of them fully excused the taking.
Perfect harmony is restored, and the best
of feeling prevails.
''P. S.-There is grand opening for
few more rope-makers in this section"
