Nustyria were Interested in gardening and
gardeners, and as all the inhabitants of
Kobol-land sympathized with grifius. yell
OF derision arose from the crowd. But Alto
paid little attention to this, nor did he even
look upward to read the inscription. All
he cared for was to get down from the grit
fms back, and he continued to weep and
beg and pray that some man, woman, giant,
or even gnome or fairy would take pity on
him.
Now uprose Queen Millice, and as the
flying monster passed near her, she cried
out to him:
"Good Griffin, he has had enough OF pun
ishment beg that you will take him to
his tent and leave him there"
At these words the griffin turned, and
Alto began to pour out thanks to the young
Queen, but she did not so much az look at
him, and the griffin carried him to his tent
and dumped him off at the door.
The griffin's performance was much en-
joyed by those people OF Tanobar who had
a contempt for Nustyrans, by those Nus
tyrians who had a contempt for Alto, and
by those Kobol-landers who had a contempt
for human beings.
The entertainment of the next afternoon
began with, something of totally different

spelling bee, and the judges were learned
man, a wizard and the Queen of the Fairies.
As Millice had done nothing SO far, she
thought it but right that she should enter
this contest. Among the competitors were
Chamian and Lista, many persons attached
to the courts of the two countries, and q
miscellaneous lot OF kobol-landers.
The words given out by the judges were
generally very odd and unusual ones, and
good deal of the spelling OF the competitors
was even more odd and unusual. ALI the
afrites. gnomes, dragons, genli and other in
habitants of Kobol-land spoke the language
OF the adjoining countries. For if these
strange and semi-natural creatures could
not use and comprehend the speech of man
they would lose greater part of tie inter-
est which has always attached to them, but
as few of them knew anything about read

''Youp exclaimed Millice. 'Is it possi-

"Oh, yes'' said Alto, Strengthening him

As the young Queen walked back to her
tent. she could not help comparing Chamian
and Alto. Here was her cousin, caring
only for bodily exercises, taking part in
games with Iow-born competitors, and worse
than all, coming out second best. Gu the
other hand, Alto was not only Prince of
iutellect, hut man of most daring courage,
willing to undertake an unheard of feat.
In these reflections she quite forget the Incl

1490-THE DRAGONS TEETH.
OF Greece renown'd for its learning sound
, In the palny days of old,
What songs are sung what changes are rung
On the marvellous stories told.
They sowed heath with dragons teeth
And crop of soldiers rose,
Who, soon as stone amongst them was thrown,
Were changed into mortal foes.
1t hasn't appeared what import weird
Their seers to the fable attached;
But somehow, methinks, by the laws OF the
sphinx
Might the Greeian myth be matched.
Let nothing be flung the dragons among,
And an army in battle array
Arises. all spurred and waiting the word
To ride to the thick Of the fray.

A RIOT IN A STRIFE.
Workmen Numerically dubbed by
Eungarians.


PITTsBURG, Jan. 1.-The strike of the
Hungarian furnacemen at the Edgar
Thomson Steel works, at Braddock, Pa,
resulted in a serious riot this afternoon, in
which four men were seriously hurt aud a
dozen others we're battered and bruised.
The Hungarans quit work at midnight
and the plant was partially idle,
only about 100 men being at
work repairing the furnaces. About
o'clock crowd of wild strikers, armed
with clubs, picks, shovels, revolvers, bars Of
iron and every other conceivable weapon,
made an attack on the furnace. The men
at work were wholly unprepared for the
assault, but they bravely stood their ground
and bloody ri t was the result.
CLUBBED AND BEATEN.
The bowling mob of Hungarians used
their weapons freely and the men were
knocked down, clubbed, bruised and un-
mercifully beaten. The fight lasted nearly
half an hour. and when the Hungarians
were put to fight, it was found
that Michael Quinn, Andrew
Kramer, John Neason and Patrick Briggs.
all workmen, had been seriously wounded.
and at least a dozen others more or less in
iured. Quinn's injuries may result fatally,
but the others are not dangerously hurt.
THE SHERIFF ON THE SCENE.
The police about the works being unable
to quell the disturbance, the sheriff was
called upon. He swore in 200 deputies, and
will increase the number tomorrow if nee
essary. He ordered all the saloons in Braddock
closed, and will remain on the ground until
the strike is settled. The feeling against
the Hungarians is very bitter and serious
trouble is apprehended. Five of the rioters
were arrested tonight and lodged in jail in
default of 81 900 bail each.

the charges of bribery against members Of
the city council found indictments against
the following persons: Fred NJ. Hayes.
speaker and member of the lower house OF
councils; Dennis Bowers. member of the
lower house, and Louis Irvine, attorney for
the Eleventh street inclined plane company.

aud Bowers are for offering to accept bribe.
The indie ment against Irvine is for Offer
ing TO give a brfbs. The charges made
against members Of the lower house OF the
council, which led TO the investigation re-
sultipg in the indictments, originated with
the projectors of the elevated street
incline plans, and grew out OF
their failure to get the franchise ordinance
passed by the council after having
purchased the ground for their terminals
and made all other arrangements in ex-
pectation of getting franchise. The chief
hacker of this enterprise was Thomas Mil
len, a banker of Pittsburg, Pa, and his
agents in Kansas City, Mo-, Louis @. Irvipgs
his attorney, and W. A. Millen, his nephew.
