Mrs sparhawk,s Way.

Last autumn, shortly after Mrs Sparhawk
returned from the little village in Maine. says
the Boston Courier, where she had chosen, for
reasons Of her own-her reasons being appar-
emily never by any chance like those OF any
other living belng-tO pass month after her
return from the fashionable watering place
where she owns an elegant establishment,
friend went 70 cali In the course OF the con
vsrsatiOn the visitor made the harmless inquiry
whether Mrs. Sparhawk had enjoyed her visit
TO the village Ii Maine aforesaid.
20, yes. Mrs. Sparhawk answered.; Il had
very toierable time except for something
nasty that happened the last week we were
there.
She smiled and shrugged her shoulders so
signitca tly that the caller thought the nasty
thing must have been something most amusing.
and called up in advance an answering smile Of
sympathetic enjoyment in the jest which she
supposed was coming.
You see" Mrs. Sparhawk ran on, in her
careless drawl, the nurse was out walking with
the children, and she happened to go and peek
into barn door that was partly open-I am
sure do not understand what possessed her TO
do such a thing, my dear-snd there she saw
man hanging from beam; dead YOU know,
my love; had hanged himself. the silly fellow
DO you mean chat the nurse really found
man who had hanged hinlSelf:" the visitor asked
IN Mortified astonishment.
Il really do" Mrs. Sparhawk responded with
another sweet smile. She found him and then
she ran screaming home to me and dragging the
children through the dust so that they actually
had to be dressed over again"
But what did you do:'
20, there were no men about, so | took
knife and went right over to cut him down. l
thought he might not be dead. don't you know?
Sometimes they bring them to, though ] think
it is generally pity for they are apt TO be
bad lot, don't you think, my dearl'
But was he dead:o the caller asked, ignoring
the question.
20, yes, my love. Very dead, indeed. Bless
you, he had been dead day or two, l should
think"
but how shocking it must have been"
ii was little startling Mrs Sparhawk &C
knowldged in the same light and airy manner in
which she had told the tale. "Bur them she
added, as if she were throwing an entirely new
light upon the matter, 1T wasn't as if it had
been gentleman, you know, my dear. 1t was
only countryman that was too much given to
drink, you know; and really think he might
have arranged it so he could be found by a man.
L don't mind so much, but the nurse was
really quite upset, so that had the care OF the
children, l assure you, my dear, for almost the
rest of the day
The caller murmured something intended to
be taken as an expression of appropriate sym
patty, and then got away as soou as possible

The Nile.

Robert YuIee Toontbs in Chicago Ledger
Since the morn when first creation blushed in
Gods approving smile
AS he saw that "All was very good''-and the
stars sang the while
Side by side with the river of Time has flowed
the river Nile.
Through weary ages of the past these rivers
have rolled along,
Beneath the heathens' cruel curse, or the Chris
tans hopeful song,
Their bosoms oft bearing blessed freight, and
oft cruel wrong.
Untiring as Time, across the sands or in the
palm trees shade,
Resistless as fixed Destiny which may not be
turned or stayed,
Has flowed the Nile, while on its banks man
has ftourished and decayed.
With Time and the Nile proud kings have
played who then became their prey,
Their shores are strewn with the graves of the
worlds conquerors for day,
Now mingled with the desert sands that are
fewer still than they.
AS was the past of sin and death so the future
is to be,
And from the dead years we may build all com
ing history
But the Why of eternal Pain is the Makers
mystery.

Loves Chilling Baptism.

Sam Haskell, young man from Western
avenue and Nineteenth street, whose ambition
is to open a saloon, says the Chicago Tribune,
yesterday afternoon met his loved one, Birdie
Brown of 443 South Clark street, and accused
her of coquetry.
Sam, do you doubt me, " she cried.
"Avaunt, false one! You threw me over for
Amos. We part forever -
Il swear that have never ceased to love you
deeply, deyotedly."
Then prove it."
Come, then; if you love me as 1 do you we
will walk arm in arm into Lake Michigan and
there end our troubled lives"
IN go you, and the lovers linked their arms
and started for the lake, When the couple
arrived at the foot Of Peck court they threw
their arms about each other fingered for five
minutes and then plunged into the lake
Officer Gilman of the Harrison street station
saw the pair disappear, and, securing a long
pole with an iron hook stabbed Sam in the
pantaloons and dragged him ashore. Then he
fished Birdie out. Both were chilled. Sam was
taken to the Armory station. where he was
hung over the steam pipes. Birdie excited the
sympathy OF a woman who was passing and
who placed her in cao and sent her home

10 yrelIa walla Trar, dY.

! When private soldiers OF the regular
army violate the law to the extent Of break
ing into a prison and lynching prisoner it
is time 10 inquire whether limit in the
| lynching business has not been reached.
| The action of the soldiers stationed at Walla
/ Walla, Wash, last Friday in lynching a
| gambler named Hunt, who had shot Private
Miller in a quarrel in a saloon, should be
| thoroughly investigated aud the guilty
parties punished.
There was no excuse whatever for the
lawlessness of the soldiers. Walls Walla is
a large town, and her people have conf
dence in those who administer the law.
And from all accounts the laws are faith
fully administered.
Col. Crompton, who is in command at
Walla Walla, was informed by the sheriff
of the purpose Of the soldiers, and he took
what he thought wore sufficient precautions
to prevent the soldiers from leaving their
quarters About seventy Of them, now
ever, went to the Jail and threatened to
blow it up with dynamite if the doors we're
not opened. The sheriff yielded, and Hunt
was taken into the jail yard and shot to
death
1t is not to be wondered at that Col
Crompton regards the action of the mob as
a disgrace to himself and the army.
Soldiers are supposed to be the means for
enforcing the law and preserving the
peace. At Walla Walla they became law
breakers. And after killing Hunt they
threatened to kill two other gamblers and a
policeman. 1t is probable that they would
have carried out their threat had not Col.
Crompton taken prompt and effective
measures to prevent them.
The exhibition of lawlessness by private
soldiers at Walla Waila is likely to have
bad effect upon soldiers stationed in other
parts of the country. 1t may show itself in
characterization and disposition to disre-
gard regulations.
If the Secretary of War appreciates the
magnitude of the offense these Walla Walla
soldiers committed he will make them wish
they had let the law deal with the gambler
they lynched.

Bought a halter.

A new story is told of Oliver Walton, who in
his day was the greatest dealer in good horses
near Boston, says the Lewiston Journal On
one occasion he came into Maine and bought an
extra good horse for $780, The horse breeder
was one of the niggardly kind and asked: How
are you going to lead the horse away"
With that halter. to be sure, - said Walton,
busy counting out the money for the horse.
mo, sir, said the breeder, the halter don't
go with the horse, it belongs to me. | did not
sell you that"
What not let me have halter after have
given you your price for the horse?n asked old
Oliver What do you want for it,"
"A dollar, sir said the farmer.
"All right, said Walton. here is the dollar D."
He put the rest of his money in his pocket then
stepped quickly to the horses head and re
marked: Il will take the halter, but guess I
will not take the horse"
He took off the halter, let the horse go loose,
and the breeder had many a long day in which
to repent of his overreachiug

BYrneS' BraR.

When it was discovered in New York the
other day that woman had been murdered
and horribly mutilated in one of the worst
of that class of hotels which bear an unen-
viable reputation, and that the murder was
in all respects similar to the series of muir
ders committed in the Whitechapel district
of London, few months ago, by an alleged
Jack the Ripper" Mr.. Byrnes, the chief
CT the New York detectives declared, SO it
is reported, that he would show the London
police that such murders could not be COM
mitted in New York without the perpe-
traitor of them being arrested. When the
New York murder was discovered the
conclusion was at once reached that
Jack the Ripper" had come to this coun-
try, and Chief Byrnes. with his shrewdest
detectives, started right out to catch him.
He hasn't caught him yet, however. He
has arrested two men, but the fact that he
has arrested two is pretty good evidence
that he hasn't very strong evidence against
either. 1t is known that the murder was
committed by only one man. The arrest of
two, therefore, is a confession that there is
doubt that either of them is the man wanted.
There Is, OF course, no evidence that the
man who committed the murder in New
York is the one who committed the murder
in London. The only reason for thinking the
London murderer Is in New York is the
similarity of the crimes committed in the
two cities.
When the murders were committed in
London there was great deal of excite
ment in that city. And extraordinary ex-
ertions were made to capture the murderer.
The ablest detectives in England were put
on the case, but they discovered nothing,
and Jack the Ripper" remains as much a
mystery in London as on the day his first
victim was discovered in Whitechapel. And
it would not be at all surprising if the iden-
tity Of the New York murderer should not
be discovered.

He Was Not Civil.

A man with a paint pot and brush was at
work on the front steps of a house on Third
street, says the Detroit Free Press, when pc
destrian halted and called out:
Hello! So you are painting, eh?"
The painter put aside his brush, wiped his
fingers on piece of a paper, and descended to
the walk to reply:
my friend, am sorry for you, but by keep
ing your eyes OPEN and always being prepared
to dodge the fool killer, you nay pull
through
''W-what do you mean"
You asked me it was painting"
Yes"
well, I'm not. I'm gravel-rooing these
steps. Can't you see the gravelY Isn't the tea
kettle right here? Can't you tell the difference
between gravel-coating and panting?"
The other looked at him for half minute
sized him up as the biggest man, and turned
away with

Butler on the Warpath.

About the maddest man in Massachusetts,
is Gen. b. F. Butler, who achieved so much
notoriety while in command at New Orleans
during the war Of secession. He is so mad
that he will not consent that his friends
shall meet in Faneuil hall, Boston, to ex-
press their indignation at the treatment he
received the other day from United States
District Judge Carpenter, who ordered the
marshal TO remove him from the court
room, an order which the marshal obeyed.
And the general will not even consent
that the bar association shall take
notice Of the judges act He insists
be shall be let alone to deal with the judge
in such way as he may think best, and he
says that if he fails to get even" with the
judge during his lifetime there will be found
provision in his will for carrying out his
plan for indicating the high privilege of
the bar.
Perhaps the reason the general objects to
a Faneuil hall meeting is that it might be
ridiculous farce. No doubt Judge Carpen-
ter has story to tell, and if meeting
should be held to express the feelings of
Gen. Buffers friends the judges friends
would be present and give their reasons for
dealing so harshly with Gen. Butler
Gen. Butler has faculty for getting into
trouble. Although he has the reputation
of being kind-hearted, and very generous
to the poor, be is overbearing and dicta-
torial in his manner. Even his friends find
it difficult to get along peaceably with him
unless they let him have his way in every
thing in which he Is interested.
1t is true that the conduct of Judge Car
penter appeared to be outrageous, and,
doubtless, was unjustfiable, but he must
have had some excuse for it, and when he
tells his side of the story it may appear that
there was no reason for an indignation
meeting of Gen. Buffers admirers in
Faneuil or any other hall.
But there is no doubt that Gen. Butler
will endeavor to make Judge Carpenter
feel his resentment for the indignity put
upon him. He is man who neither for
gets nor forgives. His assertion that if he
does not get satisfaction during his lifetime
he will impose an obligation upon his ad
illustrators and heirs to pursue the judge
Of a man he is.
The public is interested in the matter only
to the extent of being kept informed of the
progress of the warfare between the Judge
| and the general. Neither is so generally
respected as to make it matter of much
consequence which one gets the better of
the other in the fight.
