The little building in Brougham ter
race, Liverpool, in which the few Mos
lem worshipers t~hereabout gather to-
gether for prayer and to listen to SER
mons in Arabic and English is hidden
away in a garden, and it does not seem
that its congregation has ever lone any
thing to give offense, yet for more than
a month past they have been exposed to
persecution, and the ferment appears to
be increasing. On n recent Sunday, ac-
cording to a local report, the appearance
of the "Muezzin" in the balcony to give
the customary "Azan," or call to prayer,
was the signal for a great uproar from a
crowd of some 400 roughs, INDUCING in
the usual oaths and excavations and
throwing of stones and filth.
Several times, it is stated, the Muezzin
was struck. After he had retired the
disturbers burst into the mosque and
threw stones, one of which fell within a
few inches of where the little son of
Ahmed Quiliam Bey was kneeling in
prayer. These annoyances, it is added,
continued during the service, and the
congregation IN leaving were pelted and
struck.-London Public Opinion.

mother at Portland, Or, until ten years
of age. Then his aunt took care Of him for
seven years. After that he went to his
fathers ranch at Oakland. Money matters
formed the basis for a quarrel and Harry

his own language:
Il travelled about the state doing odd

messenger for the telegraph company. l

desperate, 1 Joined u stranger in breaking

The next day l suddenly came Upon the

When the stage disappeared and l had
opened the treasure box which the driver

ABSOLUTELY PURE
BowIe's Original knife.


Ten days ago Colonel John r. Davis,
of Mississippi, who had been a resident
of the Old Mems home since a year ago
last April, received a stroke of paralysis.
This was followed in a few days by an
other, and then a third. which proved
fatal.
The deceased was a cousin of jefferson
Davis, and during the war was the col
onel of a Mississippi regiment known as
the Tigers. Colonel Davis had in his
possession the original knife constructed
for Colonel Jim Bowie, who, though q
native Kentuckian, moved to Texas and
married the daughter of Ex-Governor
Veramendi. The knife was said to have
been invented while Colonel Bowie was
confined to his bed in Natchez, suffering
from the effects of a wound he had re-
ceived in a border fray. He was a man
of great mechanical ingenuity, and
whitfield it out of white pine as a model
for a hunting knife, which he sent to
two brothers named Blackman, in the
city of Natchez, and told them to spare
nc expense in making it. 1t was made
from a large sawmill file and afterward
perfected by an Arkansas blacksmith.
Davis, who was a young man at the
time, was present the first time the
knife, as perfected, was used in a duel,
and, as he described the scene, the par
ties cut the underbrush down and fought
to the death. The peculiar part of the
knife was that the end was poisoned, an
operation that cost Colonel Bowie ten
dollars. Cincinnati Enquirer.

A curiosity has lately been shot by Mr..
LIE Mortemore, who has a selection ON
Tinana creek, Queensland. He says it
is a sort of tree climbing pig. For "a
number of years the wild pigs have been
is that the original or common pig must
nave amalgamated to a certain extent
with some aboriginal animal, or that the
necessities Of climate, etc., have caused
the variety. The captured animal weighs
about 100 pounds, and is pretty fat, with
bristly brown fur, small black spots,
snout and ears like a pig, but the jaw is
furnished with front teeth like a rodent;
it has large CANNES and powerful back
grinders.
The fore feet are furnished with hook
like claws; the hind ones have two hook
claws on each hoof. The tail is thick,
about a foot long, and highly prehens2.5 ),
and in a state of rest is usually carried
in what is known as o Flemish coil. The
animal is als5 furnished with a pouch,
which it only appears to use for carrying
a supply of food in while it is travelling
to fresh pastures. The skin is saved and
will be sent to the marlborough exhi-
bition. Mr.. LIE Mortemore says the flesh
is excellent, and that it tastes Just like
veal and ham pie. He is sure there are
plenty more about by the marks on the
trees. In drought the animal climbs
trees and hangs by its tail while it gath
ers its food by the hook claws. He in
tends capturing some live specimens and
breeding from them.-Pall Mall Budget.
