JOHN WEIsS, See'y.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-06-15

"I was with the chief when Lieut.. Pierce came in to report the matter" was the brief response, "and I came here to see your man. He is reluctant to tell what he knows without your consent. Could you have him leave the horses with your orderly below and come up here Q moment?"
 "Why, certainly, If you wish; but I can't see why" said Cram, surprised.
 "You will see, sir, in Q moment"
 And then Jeffers, with white, troubled face, appeared, and twisted his wet hat-brim in nervous worriment.
 'Now, what do you want of him?" asked Cram:
 Ask him, sir, who was the man who slipped a greenback into his hand at the ladies' entrance last evening. What did he want of him?"
 Jeffers turned a greenish yellow. His every impulse was to lie. and the detective saw 1t.
 "You need not lie, Jeffers," he said, very quietly. "It will do no good. l saw the men. can tell your master who one of them was, and possibly lay my hands on the second when he is wanted; but I want you to tell and to explain what that greenback meant"
 Then Jefers broke down and merely blubbered.
 "Hi meant no arm, sir. Hi never dreamed there was hanything wrong. Twas MT. Lascelles, sir. E said e came to thank me for 'elping is lady, sir. Then e wanted to see Mfr. Warink, sir."
 "Why didn't you tell me of this be- fore2" demanded the captain, sternly. ''You know what happened this morn ing"
 "Hi didn't want to ave MT. Warink suspected, sir," was poor Jeffers' half fearful explanation, as MT. Allerton suddenly entered the little hallway room.
 The grave, troubled faces caught his eye at once.
 "ls anything wrong?" he inquired, anxiously. "I hope Waring is all right. tried to induce him not to start, but he said he had promised and must go."
 "What time did he leave you, Mir. Allerton?" asked Cram, controlling as much as possible the tremor of his voice.
 "Soon after the storm brolSe,-about nine-thirty, I should say. He tried to get 8 cab earlier, but the drivers wouldn't agree to go down for any thing less than a small fortune. Luck fly, his Creole friends had 8 carriage ''
 His what?' "His friends from near the barracks. They were here when we came down into the rotunda to smoke after dinner"
 Cram felt his legs and feet grow cold and a chill run up his spine. "Who were they? Did you catch their names?" "Only one. was introduced as they were about to drive away. A little old fellow with elaborate manners-a M. Lasce1les."
 "And Waring drove away with him?' "Yes, with him and one other. Seemed to be a friend of Lascelles Drove off in a closed carriage with 8 driver all done up in rubber and oil skin. who said he perfectly knew the road. Why, what's gone amiss9"

ABYSSINIAN MONKS.
Their Life Seems Enjoyable to an
 English Traveller.
They Retain Third Century Customs and Have Most Remarkable Relics-The Famous Monastery of De-
 bra Bizen.

Abyssinia is a country of queer GUS toms and a strangely interesting land. The people are, for the most part, dirty and immoral, inferior in many respects to the Kafirs of South Africa, but they are Christians, and have retained in it's ancient simplicity the religion that was taught them in the third century.
 Among Abyssinians the man who kills a lion is popular hero, and is award ed the proud privilege of wearing about his head the name of the beast he has slaughtered, a privilege that is prized as highly as knighthood among Flu ropeans, and makes its possessor a man of mark to the end of his life.
 Some interesting, rare and exceed ingly valuable relics they are possessed of, too, or think they are. Here is an account of visit to the monastery of Bizen by J. Theodore Bent, who re- gently returned from Abyssinia:
 'We started off at break of day to visit the monks. It took us three hours to reach the summit, where the monastery of Debra Bizen, or The Church of the Vision,' is placed, and truly the name has been well bestowed, for no more lovely vision could be inn agined than the one which lay before us. We could easily see Massowah and the Red sea coast line, and the folds of rich blue mountains to the right and left of us as we stood on the pinnacle of the sacred mountain were glorious to behold.
 My wife and reached the holy pre- cincts unobserved. We were seeking out for ourselves a spot where we could repose, when down came the monks, mute with horror at woman having | approached so near. In vain we ex- postulated and pleaded fatigue, in vain
 we said we were English and deter mined to hold our ground. The monks sat around weeping and exclaiming: Better for us to die than to permit a
 woman to stay here.' Seeing their genuine distress, my wife permitted her objectionable and weary person to
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-06-15

be removed about a quarter of mile away.
 1.-The church is round and built of wood. It has inside two corridors around it where the vulgar may pene- trate, but in the square holy of holies not even the king may enter. The mysterious relics kept by Abyssinians in these innermost recesses claim ex' ceedingly bold origins. In one place they profess to have the original ark of the covenant, in another bag full of wind blown by the Holy Ghost on the day of Pentecost. At Debra Bizen our interpreter told me that they kept the picture of the madonna which Mon, elel, the son of Solomon by the Queen of Sheba, brought back with him from Jerusalem.
 ''The life of monk at Debra Bizen must be enjoyable enough. He wan ders about all day long in his white flowing robe and yellow cap, enjoying air of the most perfect freshness. He has his little stone cell or wooden hut beneath the shadow of the rock. He has his refectory, where he meets his fellows twice day at meal times-that is to say, when there is no fast on, and lasts in the Abyssinian calendar are many and rigorous. On festival days he is very busy chanting and dancing in the church. He never marries. He knows nothing of the world or its vices. His existence is a negative one he does neither harm nor good to his fellow creatures"

Al Chinasa pMarf.

There has arrived in Soochow a microscopic prodigy 20 inches in height, aged 51 years, and sporting flowing gray beard almost as long as himself The small man has a 'cocky" sort of way about him which is all his own, and is dressed in English fashion coat, hat, boots and all. He tells the gaping crowd of pumpkins who uncer. emoniously jostle the city swells in their eagerness to hear him speak that he halls from the dwarf kingdom oi the western ocean, and he emphasizes his information by flourish of bam- boo tobacco pipe which is much taller than himself. But when desired tc give a specimen of the language of the country of his nativity he regales his audience with a choice collection of English phrases, squcaked out in an uncertain tone of voice.
 Hasty Legislation.
 On the subject of national Legislation the following timely and wcll-ground- ed remarks are offered by the Youths Companion:
 "At a time near the conclusion of the session of the late congress the house of representatives appropriated twen- ty-four millions of dollars in one bill after an hour of debate. No oppor- tunity was allowed to offer amend ments to this bill There was no time for discussion or amendments Con- gress had been in session three months, but at the last moment the money of the people had to be be- slowed for various objects, which may or may not have been entirely worthy, at the rate of four hundred thousand dollars minute for want of time for longer consideration. Our forty-foul state legislatures and our one national legislature are alike in the respect that the most important business is generally done with a rush in the last hours of the session. Making the ex, | ception that the second session of each congress is too short for the deliberate | transaction of business, there is a uni | versal agreement that our legislating | bodies are in session a sufficient length | of time, altogether, to pass all the laws \ that are needed. The trouble is thai legislators do not make good use oi
 waste early in their sessions they mus do without at the end. For this statt
 of things the people are no doubt re
 sponsible, as they are for other mis
 deeds and failures of their representa-
 tives. If they exercise due care in thu
 choice of their. representatives, and
 hold them to strict responsibility l--
 ing sort of nasty and ill-considereC
 legislation and appropriation during
 the fatal last hours of the session."
