Ma. BELLAMY's Looking Back
ward, the London academy violently
says, is -of an uglinsss so gross and

JOHN CAMERON, for whose supposed
murder John Marion was hanged at
Beatrice. Neb., March 20. 1887, has
turned up alive and well. Here is

ties can be cut.
TIE summer climate of Liberia,
where Uncle Sam maintains q minis
ter, is said to be trihe warm, and a
Chicago man has refused the appoint

some unhappy deniZen of sun-baked
Manhattan Island to exchange summer

The SaIton flood has afforded East
ern space-writers an opportunity for
working off upon an unsuspecting
public lot of weird tales concerning
the Colorado desert which in most
