A Fatal Ring.

A curious story is related from Madrid
in explanation of the misfortunes which
have lately afflicted the royal house of
Spain. 1, eppears that the root of the
mischief Is fatal ring of quite medieval
deaoliness The lase King Alphonso XII
gave II to his co2sin, Mercedes, when ne
was bethroded to her, and she wore it
during the whole Of her short married
life. On her death the king presented it
to his grandmother, the queen Christina.
She died very soon after, when j. passed
20 the kings sister, the Infanta del Pilar,
who at once began 10 sicken and in a few
days breathed her last Alphonso then
handed II to his sister Ia Law, Christina,
the youngest daug liter OF the duke Mont
pensies; bat in three months she was also
dead. His majesty now resolved to re-
tain the baletul weiiu his own keeping;
but he, too, fell victim to its mysterious
msligpsucy. By order of his widow il
has nov been suspended By a chain
srouud the neck of the statue of the Maid
Of Almudens, the patron saint of Madrid.

Tnr disposition manifested by certain
members of the anti poverty society Of
Now York TO abolish their own poverty in
the laet cam paign was the burden of a
sorrowful address from DR.. McGlynn at
the quarterly meeting Wednesday. The
society has raised $500 for election
purposes, and placed the money in the
nands of workers" in each district, there
being $40 or more Tor every district.
But strangely enough some districts did
not cast single united labor yo.e, and
the total ballot did not reflect 10 great
degree any honest or dishonest applioa-
tion OF the SIS 500, The workers had evi.
IDENTIFY pocketed each hi- $40 or more and
shsn doubled their money by selling out
thair own votes to the enemy; az least,
this seems 20 be DR. MoGlypu's opinion
Moreover in his view, a "bood!e" eandi-
date for mayor (Coogan) had not helped
matters, for the taste % his money had
only sharpened the appetite TOR more.
The result was not such as TO encourage
the raising of more money for election
purposes by the society. Poor human
nature seems to be very much the same
whether engaged in abolishing poverty
through an poverty society or through
corporate rings,

SLAUGHTER IN THE SOUTH.
A Report That Four Negroes Were Killed by
the Waites.

WAHALAK, Missile is reported here
that three bands of five meE each who
have been hunting in the mountains for
the negroes concerned in the recent mas
sacro here have killed four of them, nam
ed Chesthsm, Wilder, MRury and Stennis.
Cheatham was shot in his own yard while
begging for his life. Msury in his cot
tege while converting with the vigi
lantes, and Wilder, who was union sol
der and fought with Grant at Yicksburg,
on the road to Wahalak. Wllders body
was buried in shallow hole, and stones
we're piled on it, Stenns was found hid
ing in an abandoned house, where he had
been nearly two weeks. He tried 70 de-
fend himself with an Ak and was shot
three times before he fell. Merchants in
this county are protesting against these
crimes, and have urged the sheriff to put
a stop to them, especially as it is believed
the trouble is simply local affair, grow
ing out of the general bad feeling against
the negroes, meny of whom own farms of
their own.

Tmg tribulations OF the women who
voted at the recent municipal election in
Boston have only just begun, for one de-
feated candidate for alderman has given
notice that he intends to contest the
scat of his suooessiuI rival, and general
contest before the courts is expected
The contests rest on the fact that the
women voted illegally for the Office Q;
alderman. This law gives them the priv
iege of voting only for members of the
school board. la Massachusetts, however,

posed % the so called Saxton bill. IL Is
now alleged that many women voted "'he

in consequence cast fraudulent votes.

ORIENTAL HASHEESH.
A Powerful Drug That Brings Sleep and

The romantic and beautiful villa OF a rich
Turkish merchant was my temporary homo
when travelling in the Orient in 1881, writes
a correspondent Of the St. Louis GlObe-De'a-
ocrdt. BY host, who spoke French fuentiy,
had furnished his residence with all the
spiendor and luxury one only finds In ORR
entail climes. Ny eyes were dazZled when
through an antique gate / entered the park
like flower garden, where IN midst Of trop.-
cal flowers and trees my aduiring glance
fell upon costly European statues, most Of
French and Italian artists, minging with
the enchanting beauty of marble odaIsques
and hours. Butterflies, the like OF which
had never seen before in our cold European
climates, spread their gayly-colored wings
in the air, and birds bathed their soft feath-
ers III the crystal-clear waters Of the large
and beautiful fountain. IL was a perfect
picture of fairylaud, dream-Ike and en-
chanting in its peace and quietness.

me through lofty halls, sweetly perfumed
and splendidly furnished apartments 20 the

he saIuted me and did the honors OF the
house with AL the ceremonious gaBantry
and grace Of the Turkish nobleman. Low
and soft velvet cushions were laid before

the attentive servants hitler and thithor.
Ny host ate but sparely, and drank water
out Of bis handsomely carved golden goblet,
while choice wines were served 20 ne.
The meal was over. The sweet scent OF
fine Turkish tobacco perfumed the atuos-
pierre, and a cup CT sparkling champagne
was handed 70 me by one or the slaves. In
honor 10 my friendly host drained the cup
and leaned back, contemplating the blue
ringlets Of SMOKE, which, blew from ny
cigarette up 70 the ceiling. a strange feel
ing Of drowsiness overcsns re. Low and
exceedingly sweet music sounded on my
ears, fair visions OF the beautiful gardens /

raised by annual subscription. The OBJ
ject of the association would be to avoid
interference with other charitable associa-
tons and to prevent applicants from re
ceiving assistance from various charities
at the same time, etc, etc. In short it
would be for the purpose of preventing
fraud and indescriminate street begging,
and to furnish relief only after personal
investigation had been made, etc, and
