forcibly hurled, it landed on Dr. Kiernan's
forehead, smashed over his bald head, and
trickled in yellow lines down his face. John
Feeney stood firmly held by two bailiffs.
He had hurled the missile aud was pleased
with his work. 10 was the overt act that
consigned him TO the insane asylum as
dangerous patient.

handed another egg to the bailiffs which, he
said, was not spoiled. That one he said he

aim.

This last overt act was deemed dangerous,

the fact that any court must regard him
insane in such an event.
Gen. Lieb and Mr.. Schubert were not
disposed TO prosecute him, but he had
weighed his grievance against the newly

WILL WED A KING.
The Destiny OF a Little Negro Girl
Now in Old Virginia.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16. In Louder
county, Virginia, not very far from Wash
ington, there is a girl who will some day
contract an alliance with a king. Her
dresses on that occasion will not be particu
iarly splendid, and for that reason, perhaps
the event has not attracted the attention
that such marriages usually do The truth is
that the girl is a negress, and the man she
VIII marry Is king of tribe in Africa.
She is at present being trained for her fut.
uIe position in African court circles. and
IS an inmate OF the family OF the Rev.
Jonn 3. Chester, a clergyman, who several
years ago was missionary to the west
coast of Africa. His wife became very
fond of young African girl while he was
there, and asked permissIon that she return
with them when they left the Dark Con-
unent. Her father, thinking the mission
airy was joking, gave his consent, but when
the Tune came for parting wanted 10 be re-
leased from his promise. Chester still per-
sisted in his request, and finally, as no
member of the tribe is allowed, undor pain
Of death, to break a promise, he had TO al
low his daughter to depart.
Ihe child was given the English name Of
Nellie, instead OF the unpronounceable one
she at first possessed. aud, although Chester
already had children Of his own. she was
treated as q member Of the family. Since
Nellie has been in the United States she
mas made great progress in her education.
and now, at the ago Of Is, is a model of
scholarship and politeness. She can speak
French and English well, and combines tho
winning ways of an American girl with
the politeress of Pnrisian. Nellie looks
much older than she really is, and would
be eligible TO marriage il she we're with her
own tribe. Since they came here tho
Chesters have kept up correspondence
With the parents Of the girl, who have been
delighted with the progress which they have
learned that she is making under her in
struotors. About month ago they re-
ceived a letter from her father asking that
she be returned TO Africa, as the king
wished TO claim his bride, The tribe OF
which she is a member isa polygamous one,
and Chester refused TO do this unless the
girl was TO DO the kings only queen.
The king, who is charmed with the stories
about Nellie, has promised to do as asked,
and it is likely that within few months
Nellie will be sent back to mount a throne
In her native land. She has had several
offers of marriage from negroes living near
her home, but she has refused them all. and
the king will find her heart-whole and
fancy free. African-like, she does not care
much for sentiment, and seems perfectly
content to wed man many years her senior

the ears of the watchful officer, who placed
Bolton under arrest and locked him up in

Here another difficulty presented itself.
There was no place to keep the chicken until
morning, so it was allowed to roam about
the corridors at will, where he grandly
strutted, until it met the station-house cat,
in search of q supper. OF course thero was

put to flight, with mutllated face and
