bare Legged Highlander.

Highland soldiers, so famous in Scot
sish chivalry, are among the most
priced of Her Majesty's army. Their
uniforms are quaint and striking. Tue
knees and considerable portion of the
legs are entirely bare, and they seem
quite comfortable even when other
men are shivering in pantaloons and
overcoats, They say that when they
are off on furloughs and for decency's
sake wear pants, they find them very
sdisagreeable and cumbersome. A regi-
ment of these Highlanders now occu-
pies Belfast and is frequently seen on
the streets. was told thatwhen it was
first stationed there the Irish boys and

with bare legs and kits but when the
riots broke out they found that the

Ten years ago visited Christchurch

colonial city, and it hardly surprises me
to witness the strides made in this "City
of the Plains" And yet one is some
what startled at the magnificent enter
prise everywhere displayed. Ten years
ago there was want of finish every

A VERY WICKED WIFE.

She Tried to Put Her Husband In IN Insane
Aavlum. But Failed.
The Vicstnik of Riga reports that
early in June there arrived in Riga DR..
L., with his wife, from St Petersburg.
The doctor was of feeble health, and by
the advice of his wife intended to spend
the summer in Marionhoffer, in Du-
belna The pair stopped at hotel in
Riga. Mrs L., who has an old widowed
sister in that city, very often absented
herself from the hotel. Every now and
then she tried to draw the hotel waiter
into her confidence, and to persuade
him to testify that her husband was
noisy, and that he treated her badly.
But the waiter would not, since he had
never noticed such department. on the
part of the doctor. One day she came
in carriage to the hotel accompanied
by stra niger, whom she introduced to
her husband as an old friend, who
would take them for . drive in
the suburbs The doctor refused
to take drive. The stranger
made a sign in the window, and two
strong men appeared. who wanted to
take him forcibly to the carriage. At
the noise that ensued the proprietor of
the hotel came in with two of his clerks.
The stranger told him that he was the
superintendent Of an insane asylum,
and that he had come to take the de-
mented doctor into custody. But he was
not allowed to do this Notice was sent
to the police headquarters A captain
and two men soon appeared, and instead
of the poor doctor his scheming wife
and the superintendent of the insane
asylum were arrested. On examination
it was found that the doctor was per
feotly sane. and that his wife and sister
in-law were planning to put him in an
insane asylum with view of getting
possession Of his property. The most
curious feature Of the story is that the
wife of the doctor is an elderly woman,
and had lived with her husband over
forty years, and had always been treated
with great consideration. Even now
the doctor refuses to prosecute her, and
for her sake he refused to make a COM
plant against her accomplish, the SUI

Deafness is caused by an infiamed con-

you have rnmbling sound or imperfect
hearing. and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in

Any Why Ont oft.

The Union has probably escaped trou-
BILE by laying its errors at the door of the
ARGUS and Sheriff SilYis. In its Moline
column yesterday morning appeared the
following:
The statement published a few days
ago that John Duden had been arrested
on the charge of embeZziement, is, we are
informed, untrue. Our authority was the
Rock Island ARGUS. which often obtains
information from Sheriff Silvs and we did
question its correctness.
The ARGUS acknowledges many cour-
tesies from Sheriff Silvis as a public off,
cial, but he has not been in the habit of
furnishing this or any other paper with
erroneous information. Furthermore. il
is not the habit of the sheriff to make ar
rests in Moline upon the strength of war
rants issued from Justices court,
though of course he is empowered to do
so, but such proceedings are usually left
to constables and police officers. The
warrant for Duden's arrest was in this
way issued, but before the arrest was
made and after the ARGUS had gone to
press on that day, a settlement was af-
fected by Duden and he was exonerated
of any criminal charges. The ARGUS so
stated the following day, and had the
UaiOn. instead Of depending upon an
other. pursued the case for further devel.
opments, it would have given to its read
ers the additional facts, and would not
have been obliged to make the humilat-
ing confession 1t did in attempting to lay
its own shortcomings at the feet OF the
ARGUS and Sheriff Silvis.
