Tho trip Of George Francis Train
around the world has recalled some Of
hiscccentricdoings when he was wealthy.
Nearly twenty-five years ago he was In
Denver and had called for beefsteak for
trealrfast, insisting that he wanted II
broiled. II came to him fried. He
abused the waiter and the cook, but he
got no satisfaction, and hnaily swallow
ing his anger and portion Of the steak
wandered out into the Office, where he
met the proprietor. The subject Of the
steak was discussed between them in
animated language for few minutes,
when Train suddenly asked: "Say, what
will you take for this hotd and get out
todayi You dent know how to run Q
hotel" The proprietor named t45, 900 a.
his price, which was figure far above
its real value. CAN right" said Train;
"Il take IL. Make out the papers at
once and Twill make out q check for the
amount" The hotel was duly trans
ferred TO Train, who discharged the
waiter and the cook, ran tho establish
ment for two weeks, called IN an Auo-
tioneer and sold out everything to the
highest bidder. When be settled up
with the man Of the red flag he found
that he had paid just t2o. 900 for thai

Missionaries Assaulted In japan.
The Pacific Mail steamship City Of
Peking has arrived, bringing files Of
newspapers from Yokohama to May 20,
from which the following Is taken:
During the past few months several
missionaries in the vicinity Of Yokohama
were assaulted and brutally beaten, the
injuries in one instance terminating IA
tally. First there was tho unrevenged
murder of the Rev. T. A. Large; then
the assault and reckless persecution OF
the Rev. J. Summers, followed by the
preparation Of wanton outrage ON the
Rev. Dr.. Imbrie on Saturday, May IL.
It appears that the Rev. w. lmbrie, d.
D., Of the American Presbyterian mis-
sion, in company with the Rev. j. L.
A,nerman, D. D., set out to witness Q
baseball match.
In entering tho field, however, the
former crossed o hedge, while tho latter
went around tho Enclosure to anter on
the other side. Thus the two were
separated, and II was during this period
that the assault took place. The mo-
ment the students deserted DR.. Imbrie
they saragely fell upon him. boat him
severely, and ono Of them cut o deer
cash in his check with knife. Dr. Inn
brio saved his life by flight. The out
rage was reported to United States Min
lister Swift, and efforts will be made to
punish the offenders. The Rev. Mr..
Summers was prosecuted to such an OK.

Thernopyl@.

This Is the place; the mountain bay
Is wild and stern and grand,
IA when the lion held the way
That barred his motherland.
Long years and change and earthquake
shock
Have wrought upon the scene,
Where once the sea waves Apped the roch
Are meadow lands grown green;
But Oeta still looms vast and gray
10 hide the setting sun,
And still the mountains bar the way,
And every way but one;
The sulphur springs still fume and How
Along the rough hillside,
And far-off Othrys veiled In snow
Sees where the Spartan died.
There is spirit hsunts the place
Mere mighty deeds we're dared,
Though time and chaDce have left no trace
And not grave be spared,
And climbing up the grassy hill
Where Sparta's lion stood,
The heart still answers 10 the thrill,
That marks the hero mood.
And as I read the page again,
That quickens from the dust
The tale of those three hsndred men
Who died to keep their trust.
I knew the fire was not yet lost
That nerved my younger age;
The shadow Of an eagle crossed,
And fell along my page!

A Gigantic Octopus.

The officers and crews Of the steamers
plying between Tacoma and Olympia
are on the lookout for an immense octo-
pus, or devil fish, which is reported to
exist in the waters between the mouth
of tho Nesqually river and Henderson's
inlet. The monster has been seen at
various times for o week. Tho men ON
the steamers are very backward In speak
Ing of It, fearing that others will attempt
to capture the prize. When last seen It
was lying on the water vigorously splaAb-
ing one Of It's thousand tails, and 1t look
cd to weigh at least cO0pounds. Itmeas-
ures from tip to tip, ~ nearly - can be
estimated, fully fifty feet Such fish

THE SENATE.

WASHINGTON. March 21.-In the SEN
ate, after MIR. Cockrell had presented the
protest of the Pork Packers association,
of st. Louis. against the bill for the in
spection of meats, which was referred,
the educational bill was taken up. After
brief remarks by Mr.. Bate, Mr.. Blair rose
to close the debate, He said he looked
upon the education of the colored people
as the solution of the race question. But
the white people constituted the great
mass of the nation, and on their condi-
ton depended the future of the United
States, and the future of the world. The
senate then proceeded to vote on the bill
and amendments. The first vote was on
three amendments offered by Mr.. Moody,
of South Dakota, to the effect that the
illiterate among the Indians shall be in-
Guided in the calculations. Mr.. Blair
said there was no objection to the
amendments. Mr.. Edmunds took the
opportunity of speaking to the amend
nents in order to defend the consti.
nationality of the bill. He asserted
that there was no moral or legal
obstacle in the constitution Of the bill.
He favored the bill for the effect il
