Kew Glover French Swindlers Did Up
Patient Of Pastour.

fotlonC Oh P8St0ur.
An honest provincial, suffering like
most of his tribe from ignorance Of
metropolitan 'ways that are dark" as
we'll as from dog bite, has been lately
victimized by what may be called the
"Pasteur trick" According to M.
Dangin's account, he had just arrived
from Moulins with his bitten arm in .
sling and had asked the way to the
Pasteur Institute from q policeman.
The guardian of the public peace told
him to take q certain tram, and hardly
had M. Dangin seated himself on the
top of the vehicle whom he was ac-
costed by glib young man, who, by a
strange coincidence, also had his arm in
sling, and said that he was going to
be injected with prophylactic against
hydrophobia at the philanthropic NJ.
Pasteur's establishment The new
conner directed the provincial to a
small hotel, and as it was too late to 60
to the Pasteur Institute he promised to
call for M. Dangin on the morrow. This
he did, accompanied by companion
who had likewise been bitten by a mad
dog, who descanted volubly and Wig
orously on the dangers which the three
Of them were incurring. "We may all
be stark, staring, raving mad in few
weeks" he said, IF NJ. Pasteur's in
lection does not work" In the mean.
time the new conner added that he had q
thousand francs in bank notes which he
did not care to carry with him, there
being so many bad characters about.
Upon this Peraud, the man who had
drst accosted NJ. Do ~gin, pulled out a
purse full of apparent bank notes and
offered to take charge of the money of
the timid person. Fears now smote the
mind of NJ. Dangin-the gentleman
from the countrywide also asked the
obliging Peraud to look after his
money, q request with which that in
aividual complied readily. All three
then proceeded to the Pasteur Institute.
M. Dangin, of course, entered first, the
other two affecting a slight delay in
their movements, and Peraud stating
finally that he would wait for awhile in
q cafe. The two rascals then decamped
with M. Dangin's money, but they were
captured-slthough the coin was not
and they have just been sentenced to
fifteen months imprisonment each

The eloq uence Of the grand old Sena-

Of greater intellectual caliber than their
successors; no one could say that Mr..
Hoar fills Mr.. Websters seat, that Mr..
Blackburn fills Mr.. Clay's, or that Mr..
Butler fills Mr.. Calhoun's. The style,

and intellect between the Senators OF

ifcations of leadership as the olden
Senators had, the Senators of to.
day are very skillful debaters
and diligent workers especially in
the committee rooms, where most of the
legislative business is prepared. Not so
strictly or narrowly partisan as their
predecessors, they appeal in this i'm.
proved age to q far larger audience, one
that has grown to be very highly en-.
lightened and developed, and they may
really be said to be compelled to speak
to and act for popularity represented
by the universal press, rather than by
the old time clapping spectators who
ruled from the galleries. The leveling
tendencies of this much more highly de-
veloped era afford less opportunity for
the rise Of towering ''talkers," and 50
Congressional leadership is imposed by
the Nation itself, by guiding public
opinion, by the many on broad lines
rather than by the few on narrow lines,
though, truly enough, however de-
veloped may be any age, there must
ever be room, in theory, If not in prac-
tice, for marking men on top, precisely

Two &c orgia Gentlemen Play Turn About

"Before the war;" said veteran COM
mercial traveller the other evening, Il
was travelling through the South. One
town in Georgia waiting for train time.
Suddenly man dashed past me out Of
the hotel with cooked revolver in one
hand and cowhide whip in the other,
and rushing up to gentlemanly look
ing fellow slowly coming down the
street, covered him with the pistol, cry
ing savagely: Fold your arms 1 am
going to thrash YOU
THE young fellow complied, and the
other began to rain blows all over his
face, neck and shoulders. The rough
edges of the strips of rawhide cut and
tore the flesh and burned like hot irons
But the victim bravely stood his ground,
showing only by his pallor and involun-
tary twitchings Of the mouth and eyes
the awful agony he was suffering.
Presently the other began to tire and
ceased to strike.
{" Have you finished now% calmly
asked the young man. -,.-.
"'Yes,' sullenly growled the other.
Then put up your gun
mo sooner was the revolver restored
to its place than, qui OK as flash, the
young man whipped from his hip pocket
q pistol of large caliber and, with q
look of fierce determination, cried:
Now give me that whip and fold your
arms
'And what a thrashing he gave him" +"
exclaimed the drummer. THE fellow
cried and begged for mercy and threw
his arms t. protect his face, but all in
vain. The avenger cut and cut until
he was tired out, then with q swift mo-
ton he turned the whip in his hand and
struck heavy blow on the temple with
the heavily-loaded butt. The man fell
senseless to the ground. The other
threw the whip down on his PROSTATE
body and walked into the hotel to wash
the blood from his face and neck
