pldn.t Know Its Value.

A few days ago | met u man from Bal
timore who tried TO persuade yne that
some people down that way do not know
as much about things pertaining to civ
iliZation as the average Indian does. and
he told me the story to prove it. Said
he: I'm very fond of horseback riding.
and go off on trips for week some
times. On one of these journeys
stopped for minute at drug store in
a Maryland village and flung the reins
of my horse to colored boy who was
standing ON the sidewalk. On return
ing thanked the lad, handed him what
supposed to be cent and galloped away
Half an hour later discovered that in.
stead of cent had given him a FIVE
dollar gold piece. had not taken much
money for my trip, and was quite a way
from home, and couldn't spare my
pocket piece just then; at least didn't
want to. turned back over the road
and re-entered the shop. Said l, Have
you seen anything of the boy that held
my horse here about an hour agoT
'.The druggist laughed. i guess said
he, i know what you have come for.
It's FIVE dollar gold piece, isn't it,
!" Yes" said /, a little surprised
Well, the boy came in here and
showed it to me, and asked if would
give him good cent for it, cause he
didn't know muffin bout dat kin o.
money" saw that there was mistake
and gave him penny for it,
You can guess was pretty glad at
the amount of ignorance there was in
the world just then. | refunded the
cent, poeketed my gold piece and rode
off. Brooklyn Eagle.

MADRID, April 4.-Great excitement
was caused here to-day by the discovery
Of al anarchist plot TO blow up the

tho conspirators arrived hero within

received information that two nnarch-
lists were conspiring with number OF
Spanish anarchists 10 blow up the pub.
lie buildings and the suspects were nc.
cordingly watched. Tho project against
tho chamber OF deputies was arranged
to come of on Saturday, a Fronchman
named Deval and Portuguese named
Fcirriha, intending to conceal n couple
OF bombs under tho seats in the public
gallery and then 10 leave before the
bombs exploded. Feirriha, however,
was taken Ill and tho attempt was post
poned until to-day at 1 p. m. r.,
Both conspirators lett their houses,
each carrying under his arm small
parcel in the shape OF bottle wrapped
In 4 newspaper. The police shadowed
them and kept them In sight until they
reached the cortcs building, where both
were seen to station themselves before
the door leading to the chamber OF dep
utics, by which the president OF the
senate, Premier CanovRs De CASTILLO,
usually enters. Tho police then do
cided it was timo to act and they at
onco proceeded to arrest the plottcrs.
Both were Immediately handcuIed.
WhcA searched they were found to have
in their possession conical bombs en-
closed in cast iron cases eight inches
long by three broad. The bombs have
not been carefully examined as yet, but
they appear to be loaded with enough
dynamite to blow up the whole cortcs.
