NEW YORK, Aug. Am the summer oi
1887 James Hunter, of Phiiadefphia,
startled the financial world by precip-
itate fight from the country after put
ting out forged papers to the amount OF
$l06, 200, was today held in $40, 1000 bail
to answer, having returned unexpect-
edfy on Sunday. When the steamship
Segurance arrived in New York yester-
day, it had on board the fugitive, broken
in health, his mind shattered and bear
ing but a faint resemblance to the once
honored business man who was head OF
the extensive mill firm of James and
John Hunter. John Hunter was re-
ceiver OF taxes and the firm was recog-
nized in business circles as one of the
most reliable in the state. The money
raised by James Hunter is supposed to
have been lost in western land specula-
tion- Physicians examined James yes
terday and had no hesitation in pro-
nouncing him incurably afflicted men
tally. Subsequently all the facts were
placed before District Attorney Graham
and he accepted bail. The return OF
Mr.. Hunter was 80 quietly conducted
that some members of the family will
have learned of It through the news
papers today. There is no doubt in the
minds of those who brought him back
that he never will be in condition to
stand trial.

Patching Up the San Marco Lion.

One of the most wonderful pieces of
mechanical work ever undertaken by
human hands has just been completed
abroad. The celebrated landmark OF
Venice, the lion of San Marco, has
during the past three months been great
ly missed from the top of the mighty
column of the Marcus place by strangers
visiting the City of Lagoons. Last year
when an examination Of it was made,
it was found that the statue had fallen
into more than fifty pieces, which were
liable to come down at any moment.
This discovery gave rise to desire OF,
the part of some of the city fathers to
transfer the original lion to the Civil
museum and to make for the column an
exact copy of the historical monument.
But the Venetians Were strongly op-
posed to this, and argued that the orig
inal lion should remain in its place.
Thereupon Signor Luigi Vendrasco de-
vised a plan to repair the damaged mon
ster. With infinite labor and care the
decayed statue was lowered to the
ground and its fragments carried to the
arsenal. The experiment by which it
was thought the loose pieces could be
reunited by a smelling process proved
failure. Giovanni contempt, one of the
finest mechanics of Venice, was called
in, and resolved to repair the fallen hero
by welding the pieces together in the
presence of several of the municipal of
fcers.
More than 250 screws We're used to re-
unite the separated pieces of metal, and
the cracks and interstices were filled
out with an inside lining of bronze.
This difficult piece of work was brought
to happy close with marvellous skill.
Nothing can be seen of the repairs ex-
ternally, and as of old the lion of San
Marco bids the stranger welcome as he
enters the beautiful City of the Doges.

One of the most clearly defined figures
in the sky is the Northern Cross, which
you will find at about o'clock now
directly overhead. 1t would be hard
for you not to identify it. The head of
the cross, the bright star Deneb, is
toward the northeast, and the foot, AL
bireo, is toward the southwest. Thus the
whole figure lies along the milky way.
The cross has no special NEUROLOGICAL
history, nor indeed has the constellation
Cygnus the SWAMI of which it is part.
But Cygnus is famous for containing
the star that is nearest to us of all the
stars seen from this hemisphere, sixty
one Cygni, as it is called. 1t is faint
star Immediately under Deneb and in
the direction of the Square of Pegasus.
The astronomers have obtained the
parallax of this star with something
like accuracy, and they find that it is
about 650,000 times as far from us as the
sun is distant from the earth.-Philadel-
phia Times.

There is one piece of real estate in
Maine which is entailed so far as such
property can be in this country. 1t is
known as Dundee, and is situated in
the town of Limington. In 1868 Francis
Small bought it with other lands from
the Indians, the original deed being yet
preserved in the family. Having de-
scended from father to son for several
generations, Humphrey Small purchased
a small section of his fathers land,
which he named Dundee, and he stout
ly affirmed that Dundee should remain
in the ownership of the Smalls forever,
and that it should be allowed to become
forest again. Twice he was offered
more than double its value, but although
hard pressed for money he remained true
to his declaration.
On the 29th of November this proper
ty will have been in possession of the
family 224 years, and to commemorate
this and also to celebrate the centennial
of Limington, which was organized in
179e, the family had reunion and pic
mic recently. Next year they propose
to celebrate their 225th anniversary with
larger gathering to include all of the
Small family that can be gathered to-
er.-Bangor Wing and Courier.

Looking After Her Kitten.

The other day in Beekman street 4
motherly looking cat was calmly sitting
on the curb watching the antics of her
four kittens, which were having a glori-
GUS time rolling about and mauling one
another. The kittens kept at their sport
for some time. Suddenly one of them,
firing of further play, wandered away
toward a large paper bag that was fut-
tering in the wind on the walk. Nosing
around the bag he presently espied an
opening into which he crawled. The
attention of his fellows was soon di-
rected to the new attraction, to which
they speedily hastened, and entering
one by one the four kittens quickly
found themselves housed in this unusual
domicile. They made no effort to leave
it, observing which the old cat, who
kept an eye all the time on the maneu-
vers of her progeny, walked toward the
bag, smelled and looked within its in
terror, and seeing her kittens at rest she
picked up the parcel with her teeth, and
walking down the street disappeared in
hallway with the bag and her tots in
closed.-New York Sun.

speaking part was in "Editha's Burglar"

Edwin Arden, and in the summer of
1890 Baby De Grignau appeared with

lem. The baby actress joined the Ken
dals in October, 1891, and played with
them in "The White Lie" One of her
most successful appearances was at the
Actors Fund fair, where she created
such furore in running booth and in
selling pictures of herself that one gen
tleman gave her magnificent doll, and
others loaded her with candies and
sweetmeats. Julia remained each night
until the final curtain was rung down.
Baby De Grignau is fortunate in hav-
ing stanch personal friend in Commo-
dore Gerry. He pets her and tells her
the probable truth-that she will be-
come famous actress. She does not
dance or sing, SO the head of the s. p.
G. G. allows himself to admire her and
protect her. Julia's father is French;
her mother German-American. Nine.
De Grignau says the baby gets her dra-

tried opera, but gave it up for reasons
of health. The De Grignaus were we'll

she has no favorite part. II like them

The architectural standards of the
average man are the best buildings he
has seen. To show him the possibilities
of beautiful construction is to enlarge
his aspirations and make him dissatis-
fed with inferior jobs. He might cross
the seas and travel thousands of miles
without getting so effective an archi-
tectural lesson as he will get at Chicago.
He will not only see admirable buildings
there, but he will also see some pretty
bad ones, and having the good and the
bad side by side he will have so much
the better chance of learning which is
which, and wherein consists the excel
lence or inferiority of either.
The fair buildings have cost a great
sum of money, and most of them are
only for temporary use, but we miss our
guess and our hope if they do not prove
in the end one of the most beneficent
educational investments that have been
made in this country, and as lasting in
their ultimate results as stone and iron
could have made them. - Harper's

Swing Away, Baby.

Swing away, baby, in the tree top;
Though the wind blows, I've no fear that you'll
drop;
Should the bough break it won't matter at all
Others below you can catch in your fall.
Swing away, baby; your little fist
Shows how your forefathers used to exist;
In your wee fingers a Robinson sees
Proof that your ancestors lived up in trees
Swing away, baby: if your hand grows
Tired you can rest it by using your toes,
Ere boots and shoes have distorted the shape,
Due to the ancient quadrumanous ape.
Swing away, baby. Monkey and man
Both have been made upon one common plan.
One missing feature you'll live to bewail
Only a rudiment's left of your tail.
Swing away, baby, swing! You have not
Need of cradle, a crib or cot,
Mansion or cottage, or lodgings or fiat;
Trees, only trees are your true habitat.

The Coming Poem.

All motion is rhythm, says wise Herbert
Spencer,
A sage so immense that no sage is immenser
All the worlds wabble on with a rhythmical
teeter
And the universe whirls on its mystical meter.
The sage sees the stars, and their rhythmic
orbs show him
That the world is verse and the Cosmos
poem.
The torn sea that surges with wreck scattered
Beats out its great theme in tumultuous
strophes;
The blind winds that blow from the caverns of
chaos,
Or the zephyrs of twilight that sooth and allay
The rivers that leap from the high precipices
whose foam banners wave DER the startled
abysses,
Or the gay brook that makes the long lilies
grow sweeter-
All these, one and all, are part of the meter.
And all lives are poem; some wild and
cyclonic
With verses of cynical bluster Byronic;
And some still flow on in perpetual benson,
AS perfect and smooth as a stanZa from
Tennyson;
And some find huge powders their current to
And are broken and bent like the poems of
Pindar;
And some a deep base of proud music are
built on
The calm ocean swell of the epic of Milton:
And some rollic on with freedom COM Letter
In Whitman's chaotic, tumultuous meter.
But most lives are mixed like Shakespearean
dramas,
Where the king speaks heroics, the idiot STAN.
mers;
Where the old man gives counsel, the young
man loves hotly;
Where the king wears his crown and the fool
wears his motley;
Where the lord treads his hall and the peasant
his heather
And in the fifth act they all exit together
And the drama goes out with its pomp and its
thunder,
And we weep, and we laugh, and we listen

Several Strange Dreams.

A farmers wife dreamed that she was
walking near the house of rejected
lover-one O'Flanagan-attended by a
beautiful hound, of which she was fond,
when raven dashed at him, killed him,
and tearing out his heart flew away
with it. She next imagined that she
was running home, and met funeral,
and from the coffin blood flowed upon
the ground. The bearers placed it at
her feet, opened the lid and exhibited
her husband, murdered and his heart
torn out. She awoke, as might be ex-
pected, in great terror. But here fol-
lows the most incomprehepsible part of
the narrative. Her husband entertained
an idiot cousin in the house, and he in
doggeral rhyme repeated the very same
dream to a gossip to whom the farm
er's wife had related hers.
That very night the farmer was muir
dered, and the next morning the poor
idiot, to the horror of all, exclaimed, as
he rose from his bed: "Ulick"-Ulick
Mcguire was the farmers name-''is
Kilt! Shamus dhu More kilt him"
lShamus dhu More O'Flanagan-big
Dlack Jamesl land buried him un-
der the new ditch at the back of the
garden. L dreamed it last night-every
word OF It," Search was made at the
spot indicated by the dream, and the
body was found with the skull nearly
cleft in two. In the meantime O'Flan-
agan absconded and enlisted, but was
subsequently arrested, confessed his
crime and was executed.-Pall Mall

TiNTAGEL.


Low is laid Arthur's head,
Unknown earth above him mounted;
by him sleep his splendid knights,
With whose names the world resounded.
Ruined glories! flown delightsl
Sunk mid rumors of old wars!
Where they reveled, deep they sleep,
BY the wild Atlantic shores.
On Tintagels fortressed walls,
Proudly built, the loud sea scorning,
Pale the moving moonlight falls;
Through their rents the wind goes mourn
ing.
See, ye knights, your ancient home,
Chafed and spoiled and fallen asunderi
Hear ye now, as then of old,
Waters rolled and wrathful foam.
Where the waves, beneath your graves,
Snow themselves abroad in thunder!

A Change of Taste,

When he was youth and she was maid
Full oft would he declare
He loved to see her charms displayed
In setting rich and rare.
The costliest lace, the gayest plume,
The quaintest broidered stuff,
The choicest fabric of the loom
Was hardly choice enough.
Years pass, and Angelina's life
With Edwin's now is blent,
And-he husband, she wife
His tastes are different.
Simplicity, he says. is best
Away with vulgar showl
She shines the fairest when she's dressed
In eight cent calico.

The Years.

The years are all alike. With childish laugh
ter
They follow butterflies with endless wings;
They peep into the birds nests; they look after
White lambs and other pretty little things.
Then in the first flush of their youth they
bring US
Shy gifts of violets in gallant way;
And ah! what charming, low love songs they
sing us
From leaf green shadows where the wild
doves stay.
But somewhat later they show bearded faces
And sway the scythe and bear the shears
about
In the hot fields, and quite forget the graces
They had of old-as others do, no doubt.
Still later they go out for us and gather
The scarlet fruit in, and the yellow corn,
Or walk about the withering woods with rather
A faded look, and sigh and seem forlorn.
Then they sit still and watch the diving embers
Behind the curtains in some pictured room,
While each one somewhere in his heart re-
members
The dew, the summer moonrise and the
bloom.
Then comes the last night watch, the lone
some tapers,
The few tears of the many prayers quick
said,
The black lined columns in the morning pa
pers,
And, yes-the many virtues of the dead

You hadn't ought to blame a man fer things

An yet there may be an undertow a-keepin of

He may be tryin faithful fer to make his life

An yet his feet git tangled in the treacherous
undertow.
He may not lack in learnin, an he may not
want fer brains;
He may be always workin with the patientest

An yet go unrewarded, an, my friends, how
can we know
What heights he might climbed up to but fer

You've heard the Yankee story of the hens
nest with hole
An how the hen kept layin eggs with all her
might soul,
Yet never got settin, not single egg, trow;
That hen was simply kickin gin hidden un-

There's holes in lots of hens nests, an you've

To see the eggs a-rollin where they hadn't
