Lepers in the Himalayas.

The death of Father Damien has
drawn attention to leper settlements in
various parts of the world and it is we'll
not tooverlook English men and women
who, in India and elsewhere, are prov
ing to be true friends OF the leper, says
the Pail Mall Gazette. "a few days
ago." writes correspondent of Man
chester paper,"I met Rev. Henry Coley,
of Almora. He says there is a leper
settlement near him, in the Himalaya
mountains, where there are on an aver
age lO7 inmates, in addition TO others
who even in their misery prefer free
dom in their own village homes to the
more regular comfort provided in the
asylum. Referring to these lepers, Rev.
j. Hewlett, M. A., who like Mr.. Coleyl
labors in connection with the London
Missionary society, says that recently
he welcomed to church fellowship nine
ty-six of these lepers, who, under God,
owed all to the instruction given and
the brotherly help shown by another
Englishman, Kew. John Henry Budden.

The Curious side of Life.

An undertaken in Madrid, who lived
over his shop, one night gave a grand
ball. At the height of the festivities
a gentleman in full evening dress joined
the company. He danced with the
hostess and her daughter, he danced
with the guests. He seemed to enjoy
himself thoroughly. The undertaken
thought he recognized the face, but
didn't like to be rude and ask the
strangers name. By and by all the
guests departed and only the unknown
was left.
"Shall send for cab for you?" said
the host, at last.
mo. thank you; I'm staying in the
house."
Staying in the house! Who are you,
sir?"
"Why, don't you know me? Pm the
cor pse that was brought in this after
noon."
The undertaken in horror rushed to
the mortuary chamber, where in Spain
il is usual for the dead TO be removed.
The coffin was empty. His wife and
daughter had been dancing with a
corpse.
But it turned out that the gentleman
had only been in a trance, and had sud-
denly recovered. Hearing the revelry
above, and being possessed of "a keen
though ghastly sense of humor, he had
got out of his coffin and joined the fes-
tive party. He was presentable, for in
Spain the dead are generally buried in
full evening dress.

DIED LIKE A DOG.
The Merited Death OF a Blood Thirsty
Murderer.


Julius Schlauss, the janitor of Gcrmania
hall. in this city, has received fui ther news
OF the horrible murder of his little daughter
and four otiers near Helena, Mont, of
which an account appeared in THE BEES
dispatches two weeks ago.
BY private letter from one Of the detec-
tivcs, who is working up the case, Mr.
Schlauss learned that two of the supposed
murderers had already been arrested One
of them is a man who was formerly cook for
one of the murdered families, and the other
is u notorious western crook named
Wilber
The murder occurred about the middle Of
June on the Judith river, not far from
Helena Mont, two men, two women and
Schlausa' little fve-ycar-old girl being the
victims. They were killed whi'e in camp for
the purpose of robbery. The bodies were not
found until June 20. The day following the
finding of the bodies WILDER was arrested
for the crime and the evidence of his guilt
was so strong that the unfortunate man
hung himself in his cell
An eyewitness account of the murderers 6
suicide says: 1T was Il blood curdling termi-
nation of the career of the wretch who
in tho history of Montana. The spectacle
was one that none who would wish to see
again. Hanging as though transfixed to the
iron bar of his cell was the body Of the muir
derer. He had torn wide strip off his
blanket and tied it as u loop near the ceiling
of his cell. For a hangman's rope he tore q
strip off his pillow slip which was made of
new and heavy cotton. With his silk hand
kerchlef he tied his right wrist aud ankle to-
gether. He then put his head into the pre-
pared moose, his body still reclining on the
bed. He put his left ankle into a slip knot
and tied his left wrist to it. Both feet were
drawn up so they would not touch the floor
when he fell. He then rolled himself off his
bed ana was soon dead.
"Rumors were rife that WILDER. had been
lynched until the particulars of his suicide
were known, for all knew that he was dan
gerous character and had led y life Of
crime"
Detectives from Nebraska have been EN-
ployed by relatives of some of the murdered
people who formerly lived in this state and
IL seems very likely that all who were i'm
plicated in this horrible deed will soon be
brought before the bar of justice.

A Ride Across Europe.

A correspondent in Paris sends me
an interesting account of Lieutenant
Asseyeffs ride from Lubni, in Poltava,
to the Paris exhibition, says the Pail
Mall Gazette. He is only twenty-five
wears old. When he determined to go,
to Paris he followed the Gar Nicholas'
method OF laying out route, with u
difference. He did not use ruler; he
took thread, and stretching it across
map from Lubni to Paris, marked of
his route in straight line. Then he
started on horse back alone. Lieutenant
Asseyeff rode one horse and led another.
on the Turcoman system, riding each
horse on alternate days. Ono stecd was
half English and half Don Cossack, the
other was Of pure Russian breed. He
rode on an average little over fifty
miles u day, and covered the whole dis
taacc in thirty days. The cost OF rid
ing across Europe with u couple OF sad
die horses was only ESQ, or about 20s a
day. If it can be done as cheap as this,
equestrian tours will become common.
The Elliott family will be the leading
feature at the Eden Musce the coming week >.
This interesting family will appear upon
