Relentless Hate.

A most interesting case was on the
docket OF the central criminal courtin
London, England, few days ago.
For over two years ayounglady nam.
ed Agnes Harrison mas been the victim
of mysterious and relentless psrse.
cution. Some time, for weeks at q
time, and two or three times weekly,
she has been the recipient OF letters
and postal cords of an abominable
character. At other times tradesmen
would receive orders for goods pur.
porting to come from her and with
postal money orders enclosed. These
orders, when presented for payment,
would be found to be- raised by the
addition OF figures. The best detectives
OF Scotland Yard were put upon the
case. but found themselves baff1sd.
About six weeks ago, however, the
postmaster general received
letter from q young lady named
.Illingworth in which she SAID
she had forged postofice orders,
written libels upon postal cards, order

Two Policemen Shot While Trying To
Preserve Order.

About 10 O'Clock on the morning OF
the 18th inst, at Tonowanda, N. Y,
800 union men marched down the
river to A. Weston & SONS lumber
yard and began to throw clubs at the
men. The entire police force had been
stationed along the docks and yards.
They speedily arrived on the scene and
drew their guns and fred into the air
with the hope of quelline the crowd.
The union men also had shooting irons
and returned the fire with serious re.
suits. Officer John Martin was shot
through the knee Joint, and Officer
Frank Kinsley through the abdomen.
The police then fed for their lives.
The sheriff OF Lockport was called up.
on tor assistance and he came upon
the train accompanied by several
deputies. 1t was believed best to get
tue militia out, but Cap. John Somers,
OF the 25th separate company could
do nothing until communication was
had with Gov. Doyle. As result ola
conference OF the chief of police, the
sheriff, Capt. 6ommers and the lumber.
men, it was decided to attempt no
arrests until every precaution had
been made for a successful effort. 1t
is thought the bullet which strAck
klnsley was intended for Woods. Be-
ing foreman of the yard 1t is believed
ne was singled out by the crowd. He
had a revolver and was shooting when
q stone struck HIM in the head, telling
him to the ground. Deputy shsrifis
finally succeeded in quelling the riot.

Unheard Asides.

Many persons uphold theories that
cannot be maintained, but it is un-
usual to see any one promptly dis.
prove bis own theory, especially when
1t is an extremely good one. The
fabulist, La Fontaine, did this on one
occasion. 1t happened that he afford.
ed an exceptionally good example for
the other side OF the argument. He,
Boileay, Moliere, and several friends
were dining together.
The conversation turned upon the
drama, and La Fontaine emphatically
condemned the "asides" OF the stage,
the remarks and soliloouies for the
benefit OF the audience.
cit is absurd" he said; how can
persons on The stage be supposed not
to notice that every person in the
house hears distinctly?"
Presently he relapsed into one OF the
reveries which were habitual with him.
Wrapped in dreamy meditation he
was apt to forget where he was. Boi-
leau turned to his neighbor and re.
marked loudly, at must be confessed
that La Fontaine is a fool" Then he
harangued his neighbor opposite. ella
Fontaines remarks were idiotic.
WI hat does he know about the drama
anyway"
He continued IN this strain until
every one at the table was Laughing
except La Fontaine. Then the poet
reused himself.
What is it?' he said. "What is the
ioke?"
They explained to him that he of
persons should not condemn stage
asldes since he was the only person
present who had not heard the very
audible ones which Boileau had just
uttered.

A Different Sal.

Detroit Free Press: A certain fami.
~ had just moved i'll the CITY from
the country, and one of the members
OF the family was a long, Iank and
awkward boy in his teens, and of not
very ready wit. In hlsshort residence
IN the city he had, however, managed
to pluck up courage sufficient to have
best girl named "sal." A revival
was in progress at one of the churches
in the city, and theyoupg man and his
best girl were regular attendants. One
evening the young man cmae late and
owing to the crowded condition of the
church our hero was compelled to
stand, which he did, taking his posi-.
ton at the inner door. While there
ne concluded to search out and locate
his Sal. The contortions were yery
funny and the stretchings of the neck
and body were quite noticeable and
grotesque, but Sal seemed to excape
his wary eye. The attention of the
congregation and minister were direct.
~ called to his contortions, and the
minister thinking to stop the maneu.
'ei0 any oeo!e d PoluC Dy MS question,
stopped suddenly in his delivery,
pointed his finger at the young man
and said:
Young man, are you looking for
The question OF course astounded
the aforesaid young man and took
away completely thelittle wit he had,
and as he disappeared from the view of
the congregation he said:
"N.n-no, sir! It's Sal jackson!
The effective work OF that service
was over, for no minister can fulfill the
Scriptures and smile every time he
speaks the word "salyation."

forged letters, and committed other of.
lenses, and asked that she be not prose-
cuted upon her assurance that nothing
OF the.kind should occur again. In ex.
PLANTATION of her letter she said that
one OF her young gentleman friends
was suspected OF being the author OF
the letters and was on the point of be-
ing openly accused, and that. bad as
she was, she did not propose to see
HIM suffer for her wrong doing. Miss
lllingworth, who proved to be the
daughter OF people in good standing
and only II years OF age, was at once
arrested. She claimed, however, that
she Was entirely innocent, that the
letter had not come from her and that
on the contrary she had been the vic.
tim OF the same kind of persecution as
Miss Harrison. The treasury autho1i.
ties, however, claim that they have q
strong case against her, and some OF
the leading experts on handwriting
will besummoned as witnesses by both
the prosecution and the defence.

Curiosity.

Curiosity ls natural to man, beast
and fowl. in city or country. Young
Willie Oday, OF q Western city, went
on horseback fifteen miles through
the country to visit for the first time
farmers daughter. He was bashiul,
and hoped to 60 and come without
attracting attention. He went at full
gallop. The sun beamed on his eye
glasses. His boots shone. "He's 60
ing pretty good hickory" came q
voice from the right.
Willie turned. A man and three
boys, milking COWS ln barnyard,
stood watching, each with q bright
tin pal! in his hand. Three women,
taking clothes from line near the
house, dropped the basket and gazed,
their apron. strings tiuttering gently in
the wind.
Theroad turned south. Little BIRDS
from time to time flew from the
ground to the fence, and sitting on the
top rail, calmly watched the stranger
go by. Suddenly a herd of horses
way back in a field came laundering
up to the fence, pranclng, rearing and
neighlng They gaIloped along the
whole length OF the field, looking at
the horse and its rider.
At q big red house that stood some
rods from the road Willie stopped the
horse.
"Will you please direct me to the
residence OF Mr.. SPRING. he shouted
to a man at the door.
At once five faces pressed against
window-panes. The old gentleman
walked slowly down to the gate.
