SAWED IN TWO BY TRAMPS.

From Naples, a small lumber siding
on the Great Northern road, about
forty miles east of here, says Spo-
kane wash correspondent of the st.
Louis Globe Democrat, comes the
the story which, for iendish cruelty,
has but few equals in the annals OF
crime.
Jacob Herzner was the owner of a
small sawmill at Naples, where he
lived with his wife and son. There IS
no neighbor within half a mile of the
mill. On Saturday last the son John
went to Bonner's Ferry, and upon his
return home in the evening he was
confronted with sight that froze his
blood with horror. On the floor OF the
mill he found his mother lying in a
pool of blood, nearly dead, and few
feet distant, bound to the carriage
used in conveying logs to the circular
saw, was his father, dead, having been
sawed in two. The son applied such
restoratives as were at hand and sue
ceeded in bringing his mother to con
sciousness, when she painfully and
with much difficulty related to him
what had occurred
About 4 o'clock in the afternoon she
was sitting in the house, which is but
a short distance from the mill, alone,
when two drunken tramps came to
the door and demanded food, at the
same time using very offensive Ian

the door before they could get in.

unarmed, he was savagely attacked
by the men, and after a terrible
struggle. in which the tramps were
badly bruised, Herzner was knocked
senseless.
In order to cover mp their crime
they hit upon the plan of putting
Herzner on the log carriage and saw

LAID BY THE FABLED ROC.

A large specimen of the egg of the
tabled roc of the Arabian Nights" or
Aepyornis, as the extinct gigantic bird
of Madagascar is called, has been Sc
cured by j. Proctor, of Tamatave and
Princes Square, W., who has brought
the curiosity to London. According
to London exchange it was discover.

sea within twenty yards of the beach.
and is supposed to have been washed
away with the foreshore, which con-
sists of sandhills, after a hurricane in
the early part of the year. The child,
like 'longshoreman of the Antipodes,
opining that the egg had value,
showed the unusual piece of fioatsam
about with view to sale, and it thus
came into the hands of Mr.. Proctor.
The egg, which is whitley brown in
color and unbroken, is fine specimen,
80 1-2x28 inches, and an even higher
value is placed upon it than upon the
egg of the great aux, which lived
within the memory of man. The
Brobdignagian proportions of the egg
are better demonstrated by compari-
son with the eggs of the ostrich and
crocodile. An ostrich's egg is about
seventeen inches by fifteen inches, and
the contents of six such are only
equal to one egg of the Aepyornis.
The measurements Of the egg of the
crocodile are normally nine inches by
six and one-half inches 1t would re-
quire the contents Of sixteen and one
half emu's eggs to equal the contents
of this great egg. or 14S eggs of the

HISTORY OF "SPARTACUS."

Talking with a correspondent OF
The Boston Herald, the Rev. Elijah
Kellog of Harpswell, Me-. thus de
scribed how he wrote that favorite
defamation of school boys, Sparta
Gus to the Gladiators:"
at was while I was at Andover."
said he, smiling as the remembrance
OF the event came back to him. 1--WE
were required to prepare speeches for
our rhetorical exercises, and after each
man had spoken he was subject to
criticism by his fellows-and their
comments weren't always so compli
mentary as they were pointed. Then
the professor would follow with serious
criticism, and he always found faults
that needed correcting.
$50 these speeches came to be look
ed upon with dread, and at last [ made
up my mind that I'd try to get some
thing, SO different from anything we
had had and SO interesting that it
would hold their attention too closely
for them to think abont points on
which to criticise me, and SO l would
get off free.
''Well, l wrote 'Spartacus.' When
began it worked just as had expect
ed. They were SO taken by surprise
that they never thought of anything
but the speech. You could have
heard pin drop at any time when 1
was speaking, and they did not re-
cover until l had finished and had
come down to ask for criticism.
Then Prof. Payne turned to the
students and inquired: what crit
clsm have you to offer, gentlemen
there wasn't one of them who had
word to say, for they were all thinking
OF the piece and hadn't noticed any.
thing else.
"Hentlemen,' said the professor,
we are not here for theological dis
questions nor for learned arguments.
but these exercises are purely rhe
torlcal, and, gentlemen, that is rhe
toric.'
Then turning to me, he remarked:
l could criticise you, kellogg, but I
don't know whether it would do YOU
more good or harm, and so, on the
whole, l think I will say nothing
So" added the old gentleman, with
a chuckle, Il escaped criticism"
