Warned Of the Awful Fate Of Friend
Robert BrOwning's Story.

Warned Of the Awful Fate of Friend
Robert BrOwning's Story.
DIR. Sarah Hackett Stevenson tells Of
an afternoon spent some time ago with
the poet Tennyson and Robert Brown
ing. The conservation turned upon pre-
sentiments and clairvoyance, and Lord
Tennyson, while unwilling to acknowl-
edge any belief in either, related re-
markable instance Of the former which
occurred to himself. One evening while
sitting in his study writing he seemed
to feel the presence of a very dear
friend near him. He was unable to
shake off the impression. He tried to
read and to smoke, but it was no use,
for it seemed that the friend was there
appealing for aid. This distressed the
poet. and he went ont and walked sew
eral miles, trying to dispossess himself
of the thought, but it was OF no avail.
He could not rid himself of it, and finally
retired only to dream of his friend as
being in great agony, and crying out to
him for relief.
Some two months fterward the poet
heard that the friend, who had been
an explorer, had been killed and eaten
bv cannibals, and that this had occurred
ut or very near the time he had been SO
troubled about him.
Robert Browning, who laughingly
said that his wife was the only super
stitious one in his family, then told OF
an experience he once had with a man
who claimed supernatural powers.
Browning discredited his assertions and
the man, wishing to prove that he could
do as he said, asked if he had an heir
loom of any sort about his person.
It CHANGED that Mrs. b. had provided
her husband with some new shirts,
which were made to be worn with cuff
l uttons. much to Mr.. Browning's dis
gust. and that morning he had ran
sacked the house for the necessary arti-
Giles, finally fastening his cuffs with a
pair of quaint old buttons which had
been given to him years before. He
showed them to the m an, who, after
looking at them carefully and examin-
ing them closely, took them In his hands
and told of dark room in a house
somewhere on the Island of Jamaica, in
which a powerful man was struck down
by three robbers, who took from him
every thing of value save these three
buttons, and left him there to bleed TO
death.
According to Mrs. DR.. Stevenson this
was literally true, though at the time
not even Mrs. Browning knew Of 1t, for
the buttons had belonged TO an uncle, .
planter in Jamaica, who had been muir
dered and robbed as the man described
The cuff buttons had been found and

BosToN, April 21.-General BENJAMIN r
Butler was elected as disorderly person
from the United States district court this
afternoon by the order of Judge Carpenter.
His ejectment was the result of a long
standing luminosity which has existed be.

mated in the action of to-day. General
Butler has been appearing for woman
charged with perjury, and early in the
trial the judge accused him of deliberate
falsehood A week ago he appeared to
make motion for arrest of Judgment in
the case, and was forbidden by Judge Car
penter to address the court either then or
at any other time. To-day he appeared
again and endeavored to make motion,
but, acting under orders from the Judge,
the court officials elected him. General
Buffers voice was very much affected, and
his eyes were full of tears as he exclaimed

He later returned, but the Judge had gone.

LONDON, April 22-Adyices received here
from Bathurst, the capitol of Gambia, the
British West African colony, seem to show
that Great Britain has another little war;
upon her hands. The native king of
Gambia it appears has for some time past
been in somewhat disturbed condition

or allowed to be committed a number of
depredations and abuses from which the
British colonists were the sufferers.
The British administrator or governor
of Gambia, Mr.. Gilbert Thomas Carter C.
M. g., put up with the kings conduct as
long as possible and finally the admins
traitor sent an envoy in the person of a
prominent English official, up the Gambia
river to the town which the native king
makes his headquarters. This envoy was
charged with the mission of informing the
King of Gambia that he must behave him
self and see that his subjects behave them
selves in future. or else he might expect a
visit of a disciplinary nature from the ma
rine forces of the Queen of England.

orders and communicated the admins
traitors views to the king. The latter,
however, does not seem to have been at all

his body were sent back to the admins

CHEsrERTowN, April 21.-What may
prove serious shooting ARRAY occurred
about noon to-day at the Queen Annes
end of the Chestertown bridge, which CON
meets Queen Anne's and Kent counties at
Chestertown. Thomas Primrose, aged
about go years, shot his son James, aged
about 20 years, in the thigh and legs with
a shotgun.
Mr. Primrose owns a small farm at the
Queen Anne's end of the bridge and for
several years has been in very delicate
health, so much so that his wife, who
keeps clearinghouse in Wilmington,
was compelled to spend much time with
him here. Young Primrose, who lived
with his mother, has for some time been
with his father who resides alone on the
place of late, Mr.. Primrose has been sell

After repeated warnings Mr.. Primrose
told his son that if he collected any more
money. he would shoot him. Fearing VIC.

Plooded it with a stone. Young Primrose
this morning sold a load of sand and col
leeted the money, and scarcely had he
taken, it before his father peppered him
from his waist nearly to his feet.
Or. Joseph A. Catlin was called and sue
ceeded in getting out so shot, which is BY
no means all. The doctor does not consider
young Primrose in any immediate danger
but blood-poisoning and erysipelas may
set in.

the young man over the head with a stick
while he was collecting money. The elder
