A Dramatic Incident.

The slave dealers extend their activi- ty even to the very doors of Biskra, the headquarters of the order of the War Hor Monks of the Sahara, and one of the most dramatic features of the cere- mony of the consecration of the monks was when Cardinal Lavigerie led to the altar 8 little brown girl, barely nine years old, who had succeeded in conceal ing herself and in effecting her escape from a slave caravan passing through the desert few miles to the south of Biskra. A sudden movement of the child caused her -to drop something that she was holding concealed beneath the folds of her djebba. The venerable prelate bent down and raised it from the ground.
 It was 8 small, dusky hand-the hand of the little girl who stood beside him, and which in sheer wanton cruelty had been cut off by her captors Hold ing it aloft, and pointing it southward toward the great Sahara, while with his own hand he raised the child's arm, so that all present could see the man. gled stump, the cardinal exclaimed, in tones which seemed to ring forth as a clarion: 1T would to God that all Flu rope could see this little handl May it serve to direct your line of march.

Afraid of Meat Pies.

Mr. Candler, of Georgia, told a good one on himself the other day. Our ing the campaign in Mississippi" said he, Eve were short of rations, and one of the boys and myself were out for aging. We had only gone a short dis tance when we met 8 couple of young boys coming toward camp with some pies. They were chicken pies, the boys said, and we purchased them without hesitation.
 sWe paid the boys and sat right down and began eating, for we were as hun gry as wolves. Just as we had about consumed the pies we heard the boys quarreling over in the woods about the division of the money. Listening, we heard one of the boys, in whining voice, say:
 "Now, Bill, gol darn your soul, you've got to give me half that money, for you know them puppies was half mine.'
 Well, in about half a second we were the sickest Confederates you ever saw, and from that day to this have never been able to eat any kind o1 meat pie. Washington Post.

Educstion of Women in India.

The native women of India have no education whatever, except what they now get from the Zenana missionaries, and it is quite pathetic to see gray haired, toothless old women struggling to learn the alphabet of their own lan- guage.
 But in spite of these rigid old cus- tomA founded on the barbaric idea might is right" the true worth of women will always come to the front. The most beautiful piece of architect ure in the whole of India (and as re- gards perfect symmetry and pure sim plicity of design, the first in the whole worlO is the tomb of woman, built by her husband, the Emperor Shah Jehan.
 The famous Tai Mahal is of pure white marble, and beneath the perfect shaped dome lies the tomb itself, which is richly carved and inlaid with pre- cious stones, as are also the interior walls The emperor had the grave shut in by four large gates of solid sil- yer. Four tapering minarets keep guard over the dead queen, Moor Jehan Light of the World), and the whole building stands on a marble platform, and is surrounded by gorgeous trop. ical garden.

A Glimpse of the Upper Island.

The work of bridging the deep chasm between Washington Heights and )ne Hundred and Fifty-fifth street s .tion of the elevated railroad goes forward rapidly. The face of the earth west and south of the new ball grounds looks as if an earthquake had visited the vicinity or some gigantic subterra- mean explosion had hurled rocks and trees in the air and left them piled in picturesque heaps against the hillside. One of the most striking views to be had anywhere on the island is to be seen from the edge of the bluff just east of One Hundred and Fifty fifth street and St. Nicholas avenue after night fall
 Far down in the valley below the lights of nunnberless passing craft are to be seen redected from the waters of the Harlem, while the noise of scores of trains on the New York Central speeding along the farther bank of the river, their hundreds of lights flashing back and forth and the bells ringing on the night air and mingling with the cries of the guards at the elevated sta tion nearer the bluff, combine to form a spectacle that causes the observer to involuntarily wonderwhat would Mime. Jumea, Aaron Burr, Alexander Ham, lton or any of the other residents of the Heights a century ago think could they stand on the hill for five minutes and see,ittau. New York Tribune

Damaged.

Some years ago, when railroads were still novelty in the west, a wagon load of country people came ten miles to look at Q railroad engine and a train of cars. None of them had ever seen such sight, with the exception of one old and loquacieus man. He had Tot only seen ''injine" before, but had ''rid behind one."
 He was naturally the great man of the hour, and perhaps was to be par doned for putting on some rather con- ical airs of self importance.
 With his friends following close at his heels he walked all around the en- zine, enlightening them in regard to it's workings and the value of steam in general
 ''Now, this is the steam chist, and this is the cowketcher, and these are the drive wheels" he said, touching everything he named with the end of q queer old cane of twisted wood, until an old lady, evidently his wife, said:
 Don't tech thing pa, don't. There's no telling what harm you might do."
 The old gentleman paid no heed to this admonition, but went on touching the various parts of the engine.
 'This is the driving shaft, and this, of course, is the b'iler, and this''-
 At that moment the engineer, in a spirit of mischief, blew the whistle with loud, unearthly screech, which caused the examining party to fly pre- cipitately with shrieks of alright.
 Shaking her finger reprovingly at her husband the old lady said, in tone of dismay:
 ''There, now, pa! I told you you'd do some mischief with that meddlin' cane. I s'pect we'll have it to pay for. Somethin's bust sure. I ain't goin' nigh the thing againw-Youth's Com panfon.
