SnreWd diplomacy he succeeded in getting her

and UNNECESSARILY sweet TO the participants It
was shocking, but the fact is that the repast
was filed out by very cold bottle of "fzz'-as
all the swagger girls call champagne. By the
time the dessert was reached, the youth had the
girls consent to be his wife.
IF you say yes, " said the youth, II will have

the dish"
Il say yes!-yes-yes!" responded the girl
under the table, while they both sighed.
The promised dish was brought. 1t looked
very delicate and sugary, something on the
order of meringue, all puffy and white.

Young man, and please cut it in a very careful

The girl deftly slipped knife into the sugar,
Why, what's that?'' she cried as the whole

young man. open it and see if il is made to

The Corpse arose.

A friend Of John Bregan, who recently fell
dead near Twenty-first and Larimer streets,

one of toe cOroners assistants, who had been
working hard all day. lay down on a long bench
near the corpse, and, drawing sheet over him
to prevent the flies from boLhering him. went
to sleep. sssz
The dead and sleeping men were in the above
positions when one of Bergan's friends came in
TO pay the last inbutes to his friend. The fellow
little the worse of several good-sized
glasses of whisky, and on entering the
morgue asked TO see the remains of his friend.
The men employed there were busy at
the time, and one of them, pointing over to
where two forms were lying, said: There he
is. the visitor went over to tue bench where
Roberts was sleeping, and. giving him a hearty
slap on the stomach, said:
Poor Jack! 1t was only Gay before yester
hay was after asking him TO have drink wild

The blow awoke Roberts and he hastily sat

A Child's Tribute.

1t was one of the hottest of the hot days of
July that have just passed, says the Pittsburg
Dispatch. Not breath of air was stirring even
In the tops Of the trees. The sturdy little En-
gl1sh sparrows had ceased their sharp shrill
chrping, and We're painting in the shade. If
you look straight down the street you could see
a quivering of heat in the air, like that which
is often visible over hot stove. Everybody
walked slowly Fow of the drivers of
the the. vans ms, wagons and cabs urged their
suffered were the poor stoeet car horses They
went trotting and galloping by with their heavy
loads, which. on account of the heat, were
heavier than usual Many of the poor brutes
stopped during the day, staggered under the
whip, and dropped by the roadside. The cir
cumstance had finally become so usual that It
attracted but little attention and less pity But
of all the horses that died that cruel afternoon
one at least received a tribute as affecting as II
paid by an angel The animal had dropped in
the street. and had been rudely dragged to one
side, where it lay, rolling its Justified eyes,

gathered around shutting out what little air
there was. Hold on Cally,n shouted a

Just then a ragged little girl passed proudly

and This is Boston"

The little towns of New York, Chicago and st.
Louis dehghtedly tell anecdotes concerning
Boston which they believe to be funny. hut
which to us Bostonians possesses no element of
humor, says the Boston Advertiser. It is well
once IN while to tell story ourselves in order
that the crop of anecdotes concerning our citv
and our people may not die out, and that thew
may wear the appearance at least OF authepti-
city. 1t is said and my Informant is trust

of his wares. He hired an empty store on Ire

expeusively framed, and drawing card the
dealer placed 1t in the window. During the next

At length, after he had been here for a week or

Train Wreckars

No punishment would be too great for
those who were instrumental in wrecking a
train of eight sleeping cars on the New
York Central railroad on Friday The train
wreckers placed an obstruction on the track
for the purpose. it is believed, of wreckinga
freight train, not knowing anything about
this train OF sleepers, it being the second
section of the regular train. There came
near being terrible accident and great
loss of life. As it was, quite a number of
peol le were injured, but fortunately none
of them seriously.
Nobody knows who the train wreckers
are, but if it be possible to find them they
will be found. A number of attempts have
been made to wreck trains on the New York
Central since the strike on that road was
inaugurated, several of which came very
near causing great loss Of life. 1t cannot
be said that any of the strikers are the
guilty parties, because there is no evidence
to justify such charge against
them. and it would be unjust to
hold them responsible for 80
great a crime simply because they are at
war with the corporation on whose road
Oho was uOue. III Will Dc al
mitted, however, that it is strange that the
efforts to wreck trains have been made onlv
since it became evident that the strike
would fail
But even il the wreckers are strikers it
would be unfair to assume that all the
strikers approve of train-w recking. A man
who would attempt to wreck a train is
no better than q murderer, because
he knows that the chances are
that some one will be killed in the wreck.
If those who wrecked the train on the New
York Central are caught they should be
dealt with as severely as the law will
permit. To grant mercy to such criminals
would be to encourage train wrecking. 1t
is bad enough for those who have grievances,
or who think they have grievances, to
attack with murderous intent those who are
responsible for the wrongs of which they
complain, but when they attempt recklessly
to consign innocent people, men, women
and children, to horrible death they cease
to be human beings-they are simply devils
in human shape, and should be dealt with
| as such.

The Killing Of Gen. Rarrundia.

The impression in Washington is that the
state department is not wholly satisfied
with the course which it is understood
United States minister TO Guatemala. Mr.
Lansing B. Miner, pursued in the matter
which led to the killing Of Gen. Martin
Barrundia on the American North Pacific
mail steamship Acapulco, in the Gautemalan
harbor Of San Jose, and it is not improb-
able that be will be recalled. He may have
acted in accordance with what be believed
TO be the law, but it is asserted that he is
largely influenced in all he does by Gen.
Barillas, the president Of Guatemala.
The facts in brief are that Gen. Barrundia,
knowing that President Bariilas was at war
with San Salvador, aud believing that he
was having great deal Of trouble, con-
cluded to 60 to Guatemala with the view of
stirring up strife against him, he and Baril-
las being enemies. He took passage on
the Pacific mail steamer Acapulco,
with the inteltion of not landing
when he reached the Gautsmalan
port if he should not think it safe to do
so. He thought that he would not be mo-
Tested as long as he remained on board a
vessel flying the American flag. On the
arrival Of the steamer at Saa Jose, Presi-
dent Barrillas, knowing that Gen. Barrundia
was on board, demanded his surrender The
captain Of the steamer advised with Minis
ter Miner, and was advised by that official
that the Guatemalan government had a
right TO take Gen. Barrundia from the
steamer, and to kill him if be resisted. With
such advice the captain of the steamer
made no effort to protect Gen. Barrundia,
who resisted the attempt Of the Guatemalan
authorities to arrest him, and was shot to
death.
Those who are well informed in interna-
tional law say that Minister Mizner had no
authority to give the advice to the steam
ship captain that, it is alleged, he did, and
that he had no right 10 meddle in the matter
at all, except by direct instructions from
the state department. Senator Call has a
resolution pending in the Senate with re-
spect to the matter, and all the facts
bearing upon it, from official sources,
will be made known soon, probably. II Min
lister Miner permitted himself to be infiu-
enced by his friendship for President Barril-
las into doing something he ought not to
have done, be can not be recalled too soon,
and If the Gautemalan government had no
right to arrest Gen. Barrundia the President
SHOULD take steps at once toward holding
the Gautemalan government responsible
for It's failure to respect the American flag.

1t is alleged in specials from Atlanta that
Gov. Gordon has offended some of the al
lance leaders by appointing about 100 dele
gates from different parts of the state to the
Sept. 10 convention at Atlanta, to consider
the advisability of establishing direct trade
between ports of the south, and Liverpool
and other European ports. 1t is pretty safe
to say that nobody is very much offended
on account of the governors action. If the
direct trade idea is feasible one it can
easily be shown to be so, and in that case
there will be no opposition to it. On the
contrary, there will be every disposition to
