His magic fingers wander DER tho keys
Silent, alas. to him for eyf rnore;
Though. like wave-music on q sun-kissed
shore, :
The tones float up in wondrous melodies.
o not for him the sense that bears the sound;
OF such sweet chords unto the inmost soul.
o no for him the solemn thunder-roil
Pealing, in sterner moments. far around.
Nor set for him to hear the piaudits loud:
Though turning in the pauses of bis theme.
As one awaking from a sonndless dream,
He sees the passionate gestures OF the crowd.
As an Holian Tyre when winds go by,
Wakes to the unseen airs and straightwsy
Though all un onscious of its own sweet
string.
Or as a forest pine in nights dim SHADE.
Waiiiug in strains that seem almost despair,
Yet knows not OF the means itself has made.
Or as a low-voiced stream beneath the moon,
Singing ia its midnight monotone ms .en;
Or a. a giisteninx fall. mid LEAKAGE green,
Flooding with melody the woods OF June.
Or as the solemn turret bell, whose tones
Strike the dull air ss VITA the bat Of Doom.
While the close gathered mouners round the
tomb
Strive not to vex the dead with futile means.
Yet who shall say that in his soul sublime.
Lifted 70 far above the common earth.
Come inner sens of joy may not have brth,
some music all unknown to things of time!
Some melodies which, floating through that
soul.
Upto the spirit world unconscious soar:
And. garnered in those realms for eyermore,
| May meet him when this earth shall cease to
roll!
| Denied to him tho priceless gift to hear
His own creations. All. what glad surprise
When on immortal strings th0ee chords shall
rise
Triumphant, as Eternity draws near.
| Greatest Of all. and though his star may shine
And earth be filled with gladness through its
beams.
Yet, in Gods ways. a life Of sadness seems
| The Nemesis Of gifts almost divine.

Stanley and Noe overlook a Turk who was

rode kept up with him. Stanley, who had
learned a little Turkish from a phrase book.
engaged the Turk in convsrsatios. and soon
the ~latter-with a motive that cannot be
expiained-dismounted from his horss and
rurhed toward Noe with the evident inten-
tion of assaulting him. Stanley, following.
raised his saber and dealt him a stroke that
would have killed him had he not been mo-
tectsd by pasteboard stifenInR within his
fez that broke the force OF the blow. The
Turk staggered but did not fall. Two other
strokes followed, and the men then closed.
apparently for a death struggle. The
Turk fought desperately and with n drawn
dagger tried to reach his antagonists heart.
Stanley, finding he could not free himself.
called ont TO Noe, ''Shooy him, Levi..
shoot him. or he'll kill mev' Noe raised kis
gun, levelsd it the Turks breast and pnIIsd
the trigger. But the rife did rot 90 of.
That morning, Stanley, after shooting NJ a

that no let go his grasp OF Stanley.

we must give them money or they would

Of course, could not accede to their wishes.
But they refused to believe we were without
means because it was usual for foreign
travellers to be abundantly provided.
"The first night of our imprisonment l
was taken out by three of the Turks and
treated in R shocking manner. At last,
band took US to Afium-Kar Hirsat, a city
about four hours travel from Chihissat,
where we we're again imprisoned and a
charge of highway robbery WAS preferred
against us before the cadi.
But, fortunately. the excuses of our
captors in committing outrages upon us
and robbing us of what little we had-our
arms, our passports and blankets and our
few extra acknowledgement an avenue of
escape and Stanley's genius was quick to
take advantage of 1t. He, himself, conf
IDENTIFY declared: Boys, I've got you into
this scrape and I'll get you out of it, He
did it most ingeDiously and ably. When
we were accused of robbery, with leonine
ASSURANCE, he made q counter accusation,
declared that we not only had not robbed,
but had been robbed, and that the truth of
| his statement might be verified by search
ing the persons of our accusers. There,
/ sure enough. under their garments were
found our papers and such portions of our
properly as they had been able thus to con

/ we're at once placed under arrest and con-
| veved to Broussa, a provincial city, nearly
| a DAYS journey from Constantinopie. After
| some delay and many adjournments they
| were all convicted"
During the pending of the trial, Stanley
| and his companions paid several visits to
| Constantinople reaching there Mt first des-
| titute, ragged and forlorn. Stanley was

caught upon a briar hedge and soon de-
stroyed it. The inhabitants of the neigh,
borhood became much excited in conse.
quence, and four or five men, evidently in
vested with some kind of police authority,
can,e up and, after some resistance on the
part of Stanley and Cook, arrested them.
During the struggle l escaped and made my
twelve miles. That afternoon Stanley came
back to Smyrna in search of me, and stated
that after l left, he and MIR. Cook had
been taken to a guard house where their pa
pers were examined, and that. after some
little delay. they were released"
Stanley's power over him Noe declares to
nave been absolute. Had he been his hyp-
Noticed subject he could not have been more
completely under his control. Henceforth,
Stanley required of him unquestioning
obedience, and soon after their depart
ure from SMYRNA said to him in severest
tones: "Remember, you are to do my bid
ding. II tell you to cut a mans throat
you do it.' An act of apparent insubordi-
nation soon after brought to the youth such
punishment as left no ground for mistak-
ing the significance of these words. With
out notice OF his intention Stanley led
him into a pomegranate forest. a short dis
lance from tho travelled road. He then
seized him, tied his hands, stripped off his
clothing and gave him Il sound switching
with a rod previously cut from one of the
trees. The lashes were administers at in
tervals during which Stanley recalled facts
in their past intercourse when his victim
had offended him; and at the end of the
castigation said ~comfortingly: Now, |
think you're a good boy, just the lad l want
for a companion. We will let the matter
drop. for l am satisfied 1.-TWO or three
days afterwards" Noe adds. "he asked ne
if l recollected that he had told me on gu
voyage from Boston to Smyrna thai he wa
going to give me a severe trial, and Oh
which would convince him whether I was

The Turk retreated afoot in the direction
whence he came. Stanley fired two shots
after him from 4 revolver taken from his
saddle-bags and mounting n of the
Turks horses and telling Noe to mount the
other, he led off at a gallop. crying out to
Mr.. Cook, who Just then came in sight,
'Ho! for the mountains" The fuRitives
kept their horses going at full speed for a
distance of fifteen miles, when they and the
riders were alike exhausted n obliged to
encamp for the night.
Meantime" continues Mr.. Noe, 'the
Turk had not been idle. He collected a
force of eight or ten men and started in hot
pursuit of us; and just before dark when
Stanley thought that all was safe, we were
startled by the yells of our pursuers, who
captured us, bound us with ~lariats, con-
veyed us to Chihissar, and there held us
prisoners for four or five days. during
which we were subjected to cruel torture.
Each day we were drawn up over the
limbs of trees by ropes and lariats placed
loosely around our necks to compel US to
give them money. At other times they laid

quest of adventures. He was accompanied
on this Quixotic journey by a lad of the
name of Lewis H. Noe, now 4 respected
citizen of Sayville, l.. l. Like Ulysses,
"they Travelled far, visited the capitals of
many nations, and endured great suff< rings
on land and sea-"
Mr.. Noe first made Mr.. Stanley's ac-
quaintancc in 1864, when the former was a
boy Of 15 serving az ~commodore's nessen-
ger on board the United States frigate Min
nesota, Commodore Joseph Lanman, then
lying in Hampton Roads. Stanley had en-
listed as a sailor, but by reason of his
marked ability and skill as n penman, he
had been made ships clerk. He WAS, even
then. full of aspiration for adventure. and
had stored his mind with tales of mystery
and marvel. He urged Noe, as soon as they
should leave the service, to accompany him
in a tour through Southern Europe, a pro-
posal that Noes somewhat romantic nature
made him eager to follow. The period of
final discharge being yet a long way of,
the youths became impatient. and Noe SAWS
that Stanley planned their desertion when
the Minnesota put in for repairs at Ports
mouth. N. H. This, he adds. was done
by merely affixing the commodore's name
in excellent fac simIle, to = pass by which
the pair were permitted to leave through
the 'navy yard gate. They vent directly
TO New York, and Noe visited his home on
Long Island, intending thereafter to return
TO the ship. But, OF the way back. he met
the wicked Stanley in New York, who dis
suaded him from returning by picturine
the disgrace and punishment that awaited
him. He suggested, however, as an ~alterna-
tive and means of raising the wind, a frol
icsome experiment in the then popular pas
time of bounty-iumping. But Noes necl
and his feelings were alike tender, and con
science. quickened by the vision of "a hsltel
and a youth dangling at the end of it. lit
erslly made his flesh creep. He declined
the suggestion. and leaving New York

VIM. Walter Phelps Puts 1t on His Table
in Berlin.
BERLIN, March 1S.-Owing to the untir-
ing efforts of Mr.. Phelps, United States
minister here, Chancellor Won Caprivi has
removed the embargo placed on American
cattle landed at Hamburg, and 1t Is likely
that Phelps will be able to obtain removal
of the restrictions placed upon the impor-
tation of American hogs. Already 800
American beeves have been landed at Ham
burg as an experiment. Phelps, at a series
of dinners which he has given at his resi-
dence here, has given his guests American
beef, and has thus far introduced it's use in
the families of many distinguished men,
bers of fashionable circles of Ber-
lin. In turn Hamburg local Of
ticials are making costly per-
manent improvements in landing facilities
now at the disposal of importers of Amsri-
can cattle. The object of the Hamburg
officials in making the improvements re-
terred to is to encourage and develop trade
in American cattle. Chancellor Won Cap
livi is now considering a point made by
Minister Phelps, who asks that American
hogs be allowed to land in the same man
ner and under the same inspection az
American CATTLE. The interview with Sec
retary husk, of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, in which he is quoted
as saying the United States "does not ask,
but demands the repeal of the hog ~restric-
tions,'' is largely quoted in the hostile
press and may delay matters.

LONDON, March 1S.-The Times in an
editorial CHI the New Orleans tragedy says:
at is all very we'll to r%eprobate the resort

as these what way is there for emancipating
the community from an intolerable tyranny
excepting by a resort to violence? The law
requires q trial by jury and the trial by
jury has been reduced to a farce by the
knowledge possessed by every iuryman that
if he convicts a member of the Malta his
really a misuse of language to speak of a
resort to violence. The standing rule IN
New Orleans is the result of violence and
all Patterson and his followers nave done
is to accept the condition prescribed by the
Malta.

when the courts are dominated by GRIMM
ais whom they expect to punish nothing re-
mains but to go back to the first principles

out of a window. In Detroit she was al

She and Hayes were in Philadelphia last
October. They presented a lump OF gold at
the mint and got 1865 for it i'll $40 pieces.
Next day they visited the jewelry store of j.
