Cashier silcott Was Clever in His Crime.
WASHINGTON, December 9.-All the
attorneys consulted in regard to Cashier
SilcOtt state that of his many offences not
one is extraditable. II has been discov-

Half way down Ludgate Hill he was
stopped by hand on his shoulder. 1t was
a fellow Journalist of Fishers whom he had
seen at the latter's rooms once or twice.
"Why, Mr.. Lundy, you're quite a

for another six months But what's the
matter. man? Been i'll? You look half

Lundy shook the hand off, and spoke
with rigid jaws in the kind of measured
way which men use when they have been
drinking little and wish to hid the fact.
The last time | saw Mr.. Fisher" he
said, che told me the plot of novel; he
said he had invented it; he said l might

novel ever wrote. 1t will be the last.
He lied; it was not his"
And he pushed past the genial Journal
ist, leaving him rooted and gaping on the
halfturn toward the Bodega.

In the autumn of that year this same
Fleet-streeter, coming into Charing Cross
Station, met Mr.. Thomas Fisher coming
out, with railway rug and Bradshaw in
one hand Gladstone bag in the other.
In the same hand as the Bradshaw was

After the usual banalities Fisher broke
out, holding up the book.

It's by old Lundy You remember old
Lundy, surely" seeing a doubtful look
come into the others face. "You met

you remember? If. he makes good
thing out of it he ought to go shares
with me, for l gave him all the ideas,

"Yes," answered his friend in sub,

"Deuce he did should have thought
he'd have kept that dark
The man looked at him curiously.
Haven't you heard about Lundy,
Flsherw he asked.
"Heard-no-what Have you seen
him lately?'
II met him about eight months ago. He
told me you'd played him some trick about
that novel; he seemed half daft about
it. | didn't much like the look of him
when he left me. And next day the poor
chap was found cut to pieces on a railway
line out Acton way. When the book came
out-but how is it you don't know
There's a note about it, and all the pub
fishers say it beats Chloe into cooked
hat. Same ideas all better done, you

Fisher had stood like one stunned, his
fat face livid.

THE HARPER.

heard a grizzled harper, past his prime,
Rail out upon abuses of his time,
| Chiding most bitterly in rugged rhyme.
He stood beneath the shelter of an oak,
And, casting on the ground his ancient cloak,
Laid by his harp and like a prophet spoke:
REST thou, my harp, whilst compose my song:
God keep the right when men uphold the wrong
And guard the weak, for cruel are the strong.
While might and right unequal battle wage
| fling my numbers, as night his gage
Full IN the face OF this degenerate age.
A time there was, before this cycle dawned
When each mans promise was steadfast bond
And women then were true as well as fond.
But now we laBquish for the lack of truth
And faith unwritten brings day of ruth
And Woman's frailties are but slips of youth.
Return, religion, from far Afric shores.
Clasp hands and kiss DER uutorgiven scores,
And feed the hungry at thy chapel doors.
Steep not thy soul in sopcrific hymn
But seek the light that ages cannot dim
Christ is enough if you dare follow him.
A craze for gold now saps the public health;
And hoWeer won, or open or by stealth,
The greatest honors are the bays of wealth.
Within the walls Dives ruleth yet in state
In purple ease beside glowing CRATE,
While ragged Lazarus shieers at the gate.
And Justice, mightier than the king of kings,
Highest and hottest OF all earthly things
The shears OF time have clipped her stately
wings.
| Rusts now her sword, Once honored and re-
And with her eyes by golden fllets bound,
She giveth smiles where erstwhile she had
ffowned.
| Still fawning policy asserts her reign.
| And hattery welcome fair doth feign,
For petty influence or hope of gain.
| None now will break but for selfinterest bend.
We play the farce out to the bitter end,
And find traitor where we kissed friend.
! And what our ancestry did hold most dear
Truth-honor-virtue-th are shadows here;
The age is shallow, vain and insincere.
We have advanced, and yet when all is told
| The future aons still danger hold
| In love of power and in lust for gold.
| Aye call me fool-go build upon the sands,
| But underneath sightless Samson stands,
| Grasping the pillars with titanic hands.
And though the spirit of these days lie numb,
| A reckoning day of destiny viii come
| With man in Judgment tho the skies are dumb.
| There must be change, or history again
On times broad scroll shall write with iron pen:
All men are sovereigns and all kings are men
| hear the knocking at the outer door,
| see the footprint on the future shore
| BelshaZzar's weighed, as he was weighed OF
yore.
The storm will break with menace loud and
| long.
And men will rise ard viii in legions thropg.
And wrong shall perish at the hands of wrong
The future generations cry to me
| (Ah fateful day when it shall come to be)
| OH Father Time, thy slaves that were are free
Wild pesled his voice, the woods responsive
| rang
| A cold wind sharply in the branches sang,
And harp strings trembled with martial clang
| ] saw his knotted fingers sweep the strings
| His gray hair floating like sea gulPs wings
| And turned away, to dream of happier things.

which as preventive of the disease, as
well as means of relieving it, is well es-
tablished and amply attested, during the

'Tis night. No star shines in the sky;
The moon is hid; against the shore
The angry restless waves dash high.
Borne on the winds, human cry
Rings out above the oceans roar;
1t swells and then is heard no more.
'1is morning. A sad woman stands
Upon the wet beach, cold and gray.
She looks out DER the yellow sands,
And wildly, sadly wrings her hands
She sees, through the white ocean spray
A waye-wet sail, far, far away.
The sky is clear; the wind blows free
The dancing waves are b ue and bright
And those who live beside the sea
Go to their days work cheerfully,
With joyous hearts and laughter light,
Save she, whose son was drowned last night
