Dreadful Child Torture.

y shocking case of child torture is re-
ported from Oldtown, Me-, a dozen miles
up the river from Bangor. Fred Sawyer
and wife, with two little daughters, 8 and
III years old, live in u little white frame
house on the outskirts of Oldtown. Saw
yer himself is not regarded rs a particu-
laily vicious man. but his wifeis q vefitable
fiend. 1t has long been known tothe neigh
bors that tho little girls were not we'll
treated, but last week it was learned
tint they were subjected almost daily to
shocking abuse, the Oldest, Myrtle, being
especially maltreated. Several persons de-
clared that they had seen the mother take
Myrtle by the hair, pull it from her head
in handfuls and then throw her violently to
the ground, while others have seen the UNI
natural woman strike the child across the
face with a club with such force rs to make
her unconscious.
Last Saturday night a mob surrounded
Sawycr's house with the expectation of
capturing him aud his wife. They were
too late, the couple having got wind of
what was going on and skipped from
Bangor. leaving the children behind.
The Oldest child presented n pitiful APP
pearance, her frail little body being COW
cred with cuts, sores and bruises, from
head to foot. The left wrist was broken
and the arm fractured. while the bridge of
the nose was smashed in as though by a
blow from n club. 1t was found that the
wrist and arm had been broken six weeks
before by the mother throwing the child
heavily to the ground md then kicking her.
No attention was paid to the chlld's suffer-
ings, the savage mother threatening her
with instant death if she did not stop cry
ing and, moreover, the helpless victim was
told that she would certainly be killed if
she complained to any one of her treat
ment. Not content with this, the tigress
actually sank her teeth repeatedly into thu
arms and body of her victim. The girls
clothing became glued to the flesh with
clots of blood, and the physician who was
called was obliged to use warm water to
remove the garments.

A Tell Tale Proposition.

The California papers are con-
sidelably excited over Palmer aud
he3s published card that they
VIII contact TO furnish an inch
advertisement in 185 rapers for
So. This is not quite SIX cents a
paper.
A war is being made AGAINST
ills advertising concern in Cali
fornia, and most Of the papers
there have ceased to have anv
further dealings wit he firm.
Palmer and Rey have made a
fortune out of the gullibility and
credulity of che papers. and the
duped publishers ale fl ally walk
ing up to the fact that they have
simply been a lot of suckers for
the p. & II. net.
At the next meeting of the New.
ada Press Association, this cues
ton will be taken up and an effort
made to consolidate Nevada with
California on this proposition, and
have Nevada papers deal through
the advertising agent of the Calf
ornia Press Association, John F.
Uhlhorn 1877 Montgomery street,
All advertising coming through
him is cash with five per cent dis

vertlsing is plate, type and roller

OF how cheaply they regard the |

Human Nature.

at the ~postoffice to another man who had a
fine hunting-dog at his heels.

To heel, Roger"
The dog fell into position with brisk
alacrity.
I'D like to buy a dog like that" said
the first speaker, ''but the trouble is, when
you find such a dog his wner will never
part with him"
You can have Roger for $50" said the
dog-owner. Il paid s75 for him when he
was 2 months old"

That's right" said the M coolly.
''You couldn't buy my dog if you were Van

You needn't depreciate him another point.

the white, glittering, cone-shaped thing

MARY, it was you, them?

How dare you think such a thing OF

Then she told him the story of Josephine
and her chance-found key-of how the
jewel had been taken away, and how she
had found it on the hall floor, where 1t had
evidently been lost out of her sisters
pocket.
Il picked it up and brought it to my

But she had run away, covered her face
with her hands, leaving the white topaz IN
his possession.
SO the matter came to an end. Mrs.
BeIlfeld and her elder daughter never
clearly understood how. Edwin Vain
wright was restored to the favor of his en-
ployers, and on a considerable increase of
salary became engaged to Mary Bellfeld;
and the white topaz eventually shone and
sparkled in the very centre of Mrs. Midas

longed.

AN OLD-FASHIONED DUEL.
General Reuben Davis Describes an En-
counter He Once Had With a Judge Who
Had Fined Him.

In his racy book, "Recollections of a
Mississippian, Gen. Reuben Davis gives
the following account of a personal en-
counter he once had with a judge who had
fined him for contempt:
"My patience gave way, and | felt my
self In a perfect blaze of sudden fury. |
had in my pocket a very fine knife with a
long, thin blade. AS I sprang to my feet
/ drew out this knife, opened it, and
threw it point foremost into the bar,
looking steadily at the Judge all the while.
My object was to induce the Judge to
order me to jail, and then to attack him
on the bench. The knife vibrated, and
the weight of the handle broke the blade
near the handle. General s.. J. Gholson
and several others ran upon the bench be-
side the judge, ordered the sheriff to adj
journ the court, and carried the Judge out
of the courtroom, while a number of per-
sons seized me. Judge
Howry being withdrawn, prudent men
among my personal friends condemned my
action, and appealed to me to let the mat
ter stop. | agreed to this. Intending to
pass straight to my hotel, | saw Judge
Howry come forward toward the place
where | was standing. / awaited his APP
proach, and when close to me asked him
Ill lit Hdu lHtouuou ny LIE lille W l1SuIG ule.
He said No" l then said that l had
been guilty of no offense to justify such an
indignity, and requested some explana-
ton. He replied, Il do not, sir, explain
my official conduct to any man" In a
moment | had slapped him in the face
with my open hand. By some accident a
claw hammer had been left on the floor
near by; he seized this and struck at me
violently, while | got from my pocket the
broken knife and opened it. The blow of
his hammer fell upon my head, cutting
through my hat and several files of papers
to the bone. | made another stroke at his
jugular with the corner OF my knife-blade.
This blow fell upon his jaw, and seized
him with my left hand by the collar and
pushed my head into his face. He struck
again with the hammer, breaking and de-
pressing the outer plate of my skull bone,
but not until | had inflicted three more
cuts upon his jaw. As we were pulled
apart he gave me the third blow. / went
to my room and sent the judge a message
not to leave his room unarmed, as | would

her missing husband. and became full of the
idea that the voice she had heard was a
communication from him at the moment
of death. She was corroborated In her
belief by learning, as the result of inquiries,
that he had made application for work at
a neighborlng quarry, but, being in liquor
at the time, had been roughly refused by
the foreman. The body for some time now
had been inferred, but In order to put an
end to her suspense the poor woman, hav-
ing got together a little money, started off
with the determination to have the body
disinterred. She reached the village, and
after some delay secured permission to
open the grave. With two or three men
as assistants she set to work. When the
coffin was opened the efhuvium was so
terrible that her companions ran and left
her alone with Ter dead. For twenty
minutes unaided she pursued her ghostly
task. The body had been decapitated by
the train, and the head. horribly mutilated,
was wrapped by itself in cloth. She UNI
covered it and recognized it by the teeth.
One of the stockings also she knew again
from having mended it with a particular
kind of worsted. Her worst fears thus
confirmed, she returned home in the depths
of sorrow. The aged mother of the man
was informed Of the Identification. and
mourning was being prepared for the whole
family when the crowning act of the drama
was furnished by a letter which has just
been received from Favre himself ~announc-
ing that he was at Winterhur alive and
well! The wife had, after all, identified
the wrong man. Who it is that actually
lie" in that lonely grave no one knows.
What would not Wilkie Collins have made
out of that midnight voice, the graveyard
vigil and the extraordinary d~enouement!

Likes and DisIikes.

Afhnities and repulsions are queer
things. Sometimes they allow analysis or
explanation, but just as often they don t.
Our likes and dislikes do not appear to be
our control, any more than that very
powerful emotional impulse toward a par
tlcular n which Is called love. 1t may
be SAID generally that where there is eS-
tsem there can't be any strong dislike,
though there may be no attraction. Yet,
clrlously enough, there may be love with
cut esteem. Women have been known to
love the most worthless characters, for
whom they could not possibly have any
esteem. 1t is an enigma after all. The
loss of faith In one might seem to shatter
affection in one but it doesn't. Affection
survives confidence. People are drawn to-
gether, whose tastes and pursuits widely
differ, by some n strong trait which they
hold In common, and persons of wonderful
identity of taste and psychological re-
semblances never contrive heartily to like
each other by a collision revolving around
some point of radical moral difference
which makes all the joint and kindred
quantities 60 for nothing. And so the
queerest marriages and the q~ueerest friend
ships are contracted on the one hand and
Ine apparently strongest antagonists
hndled on the other hand. No Balzac has
ever sounded this depth with his plum
met. There are instructive forces which
allure and repel, despite reason, philoso-
ply, and circumstance. 1t still remains
true, however, that there are a few mag
netic people whom all love. 1t seems as
natural for them to be sovereigns of hearts
as for Caesar or Napoleon to command the
enthusiasm of legions. No one inquiries
into the secret of their witchery, and all
acknowledge it, young and old, men and
women alike.
This is perhaps as great a puzzle as all
the rest.-Pittsburg Chronicle.
