A Dream Warming.

mail Parkersburg to Grafton. While
at work later in the oil region near

succession that his old engineer was
going to have q wreck. He sent word
to ssJ,ck'' about his dreams and warn

"Jack' had orders to meet a fast pas
senger coming west at Pennsboro. In

the station to wait for the westbouild

the train was stopped only twenty feet

: From the Cape to Cairo.

The business partner Of one Of the
directors Of the company formed to
build the telegraph line from the Cape
to Cairo has given a Pail Mall Gazette
reporter some interesting information.
Capital has been subscribed to the ex-
tent Of 100000, which is considered
sufficient to carry the line as far as
Uganda. The materials are now being
ordered in London, and will be shipped
shortly. The poles r to be of iron Of
light construction, in order to outma-
i've the white ants, who would eat
away wooden poles. From Salisbury
the line is to be carried to Tete, on the
Zambesi, and from thence to Blantyre.
There Consul johnson will report the
result Of his surveys as to the best
manner Of proceeding on to Uganda,
and the constructing party will have to
come to terms with the natives and
Arabs by subsidizing the chiefs and
others of influence. There will be moth
ing in the way Of impenetrable under
growths or rank vegetation to contend
with, as the line will avoid the low
country and keep to the high plateau
the entire distance. a

The corresponding n frcsD the upper
jaw Is bent into more than a COM

its outer face four inches, Of which less

AN ALGERIAN TRIAL.

A Celebrated Brigand Hired to As
s~assinate4 u Commercial Clerk.
A trial which has for some time past
been causing great excitement in AL
geria has come to a conclusion before
the Constantine Court of Assizes.
The details of the case are as follows:
In February last NJ. Flandin, a clerk
Jemmapes, the Maison Camillieri FIRE.
res, left his club at about 8 o'clock in
the evening to return home, when Il
shot fired full at his chest stretched
him dead on the ground.
AS M. Flandin was a man of very
gentle character, and not at all rich,
1t was difficult, then, to find q motive
for the crime. Two very much mutt.
lated fingers were picked up a few
yards from the corpse. 1t was .apparL
ent that the murderer's weapon had
exploded, and the discovery of the de-
bris Of an old pistol confirmed the sus.
picion. The police for a long time
sought a man with his hand mutilated
in the manner mentioned.
At length they heard Of an Arab
brigand Of the name of Ayachi Abdal-
lab, who was a terror to the whole
country, and an expedition against him
was organized. Ayachi Abdallah was
discovered among some ruins near
Lake Fezzarat. He had lost two fin
gers Of the right hand. At first he
denied his guilt, but finally confessed,
saying that he was ~instigated to COM
init the crime by NJ. Rambert, banker
of Phillippeville, and his partner, NJ.
Camillieri fills. ~
It appears that the year before NJ.
F1andin, cousin of M. Camillielf, had
determined the father to disavow the
debts which his son had contracted in
his partnership with M. Rambert, thus
depriving the latter of a wealthy sleep
ing partner. Flandin had written to
the Procureur Of the Republic, at Phil
hppeville, after this event, that lie any.
misfortune happened to him it would
be at the hands Of Camillieri fls and
Rambert. The murderer was promised
a sum of 500 francs when his task was
accomplished.
Finally the court condemned. RAM
bert and Ayachi Abdallah to death.
Camillieri, who was recognized as
dupe OF Rambert, was acquitted.

Well with the Mems.
Some Of our foreign friends are inclined
to make light Of the women's share in
the great Chicago enterprise, says Har-
per's Weekly. They say that much Of

what not-has been, not to use too fine
q point upon it, and to use q phrase
that the women ought to understand,
taken from the a little toe soon,
n that the participants would have
done better to wait until they had
something more worth showing. Doubt
less there is ground for this kind of
criticism, but the pebbles SEEM to us

exhibits, personal and other, maGe by

to be m~onotonously perfect of their

THAT a large, a very large, proportion
Of the speech and writing of males
on the subject Of the worlds fair might
have been better baked. Some Of it
might have been reduced to ashes with
advantage. And there is another side
of the question: 1t is not to be denied
that there is excellent work by women
at Chicago-antists, decorators, archi-

A R0rtIere, Made Of Shells.

A lady who spends her summers at
the seaside has collected about a BUSH
ell, more, or less. Of small, almost fiat,
thin, yellow shells, which abound at so
many points on the coast. With these
she this year fashioned a portiere that
is novel and pretty beyond description.
Each shell is pierced with a hot wire,
and then strung ON a delicate wire, so
that the narrow end of n is next to
the wide end of the other. A number
of strings were made in this way long
enough to reach from the floor to the
curtain pole, where they were securely
fastened to a strip of plantation cloth
Of the same shade as the shells.
Through the fretwork above this cur
tain is draped a length of sea-green In
dia silk. falling half way to the floor
on the right side.
A less ambitious woman has made q
curious scarf by sewing these shells
in artistic confusion on either end Of a
length Of Nile green silk, putting here
and there among them bits Of golden
brown seaweed. A fringe is made for
each end by stringing shells on green
embroidery silk instead of wire.-New

roads post-ofice Of Ivdnhoe, over which
IN Cleveland's administration, a Ger
man democrat presided. When Presi-
dent Harrison came into power Mr..
Hopkins had the democrat succeeded
BY q Teutonic republican, who. died
about a year and a half ago. His wife
was hereupon appointed postmistress.
On the day after election the German
democrat appeared at the postofice.
Cleveland has won" he said, with ac-
cents Of the fatherland and Of triumph
Delightfully."- mixed, 1.-THE post-ofice Is

Cleveland had been elected, and unsus-
pectingly believing that her official ca
reer was ended, did not object when
her predecessor brought a big wagon
a carted the entire contents Of the
post-of1ce over to his store. He has
been acting as postmaster ever since.
Mr.. Hopkins reported the facts to the
