The play looked to be a farce COM
edy from it's name, but when the first
act had been on for twenty minutes I
found that it was one Of the goriest
melodramas you can imagine. It was
full OF shooting and murders and throw
ing people over cliffs and all that sort
Of thing, and the company acted 50
atrociously that it was entertaining to
a high degree.
8 Blood ran in rivers all over the
stage until the last act Then the hero
inc, who had had dozen narrow es-
capes, and who had gone through all
sorts Of difficulties, but who had all
this time kept up her musical studies,
made her debut at La Scala. There
were two sets for that act. One rep
resented the stage of La Scala and the
other the green room. There was big
painted audience on the back drop,
and the heroine came out and pretend
ed to sing. &zI 5.-a> .,e
"Then the supes, who were in front
Of the painted audience, applauded en-
Enthusiastically and great punches of
flowers were thrown at the feet of the
debutante. The set was changed, and
the heroine was seen coming into the
green room with her arms full of flow
ers. The man who was playing the
stage manager stepped forward, shook
her hand effusively and said:
Madam, my dear madam, let me
congratulate you. You have taken
Milan by storm. You have sung like 4
nightingale. You are without doubt
the greatest .prima donna Of the age T.
"And then the greatest prima donna
Of the age dumped her flowers on a
chair, tripped down to the footights

A Sitting Duck Walled in by Bee.

A Sitting Duck Walled in by Bees.
A couple of days ago at the farm Of
G. w. Hutchins, seven miles from
Marysville, bee tree was found near
the east bank Of Feather river, which
was cut to obtain the honey. After the
tree was cut down to the ground an in
vestigation was instituted and the
honey located in a hollow half way
between where it was cut and the top.
On cutting open the body Of the tree
they secured about eighty pounds Of
honey, eleven duck eggs and a dead
duck. 1t appears that a wood duck
had formed cavity through hole that
was originally large enough to admit
her body. After laying eleven eggs
she had commenced sitting to hatch
them, and while doing so the bees had
filed the hole with comb SO that she
could not get out, and she died on the
nest.--Red Bluff Democrat.

AN INTERNAL MACHINE SENT TO
THE GERMAN RULER.
The Instrument of Death Detected
by Employees before It Renches the

Town In France. g6$ III

Berlin. Nov. 29.- Emperor William on
Saturday last, received an internal ma
chine from Orleans, similar to the one
which was sent to Chancellor Won Cap
riyi. The Internal machine sent to the.
emperor was accompanied by letter.
Both machine and letter were delivered
at the Office of the emperor's civil cabl-5
net. where some Of the employees be-
came suspicious Of the contents OF the
box, accidentally discovering its real
nature, and soon managed to render 1t.
harmless. Emperor William has not
yet been informed of the fact that an
Internal machine was sent to Chancellor
Won Caprivi, and consequently, it is be-
lieyed that the fact that al Internal ma.
chine was sent to him as well as to the
chancellor has not been communicated to
the emperor.
The French government has promised
all the assistance in tracing the persons
concerned in sending the internal ma
Chimes An experienced political de-
tective, Hontausch, is investigating the
case, but up to the time this dispatch
was sent no clues have yet been found
leading to the identity of the criminals.
AS in the case of the Internal ma
chimes sent to Emperor William, the
concealed explosive sent to the chancel-
lor was accompanied by letter written
in free, bold hand, covering page
and an eighth. From the postmarks it
was judged that both machines and both
letters came horA the town of Orleans,
in France. The letter which accompanied
the internal machine which was sent to
Chancellor Won Capriyi read as follows:

Confessea The Murder.

Alexandria, S. D., Nov. s29.-Ihe hrst
witness called in the Phelps murder
trial was Henry Schrader, the young man
who confessed to having fired the shot
which killed Mat Matson. He was with.
drawn to give the attorneys for the de-
tense an opportunity to argue the cues
tinH of admissihlity Of evidence: Sub
sequently the court decided the evidence
was admissible. Had it been otherwise
the state would have had no case
Christiana Matson, sister OF the murdered
nan, was called. Her evidence was to
the effect that shot was tired which
struck Matson in the face just in front
of the right ear He leaned forward
but did not fall out of the door. She
went to lift him and saw Schrader stand
ing with gun in front of the house.
She dragged Matson in on the floor and
commenced to fire out of the door and
windows with Winchester to scare off
any one who might be inclined to shoot
her. She also testified to the loss of
several cattle, and to the effect that she
lad watched Phelps and another man
steal a COW and take her across the
river She had him arrested for the
theft. sa&
Schrader was again called and his
matte. Phelps, ccording to his story,
was his evil genius. He worked for
him, and Phelps was always telling him
some tale of blood. Phelps related how
he had killed a soldier and an Indian,
bought Winchester and had him prac
tice until he became a good shot. He
complimented him as being crack shot
and a man of nerve. He told him how,
If the bottom, west of the island, was
clear, they could steal Indian cattle and
get them safely to the east side He ad-
vised him to steal team. After Phelps
was arrested for stealing cattle he began
to tell him how the Matsons must be
wiped out. got him to promise to way
lay and kill the girl, and promised that
if he would kill the brother and sister he
would deed him half of the island and
give him team. Phelps would go away
and tell Schrader to be sure and kill
them all before he returned. He lay in
ambush three times for the girl and when
it came time to shoot her, his heart
failed. Phelps would taunt him with
cowardice and say he was not half a
man; that he was missing the opportunity
Of his life to set such start as he Of
fered him. He played upon his Gu
ridity, his fears and his pride Each
time he we.lt to do the killing his heart
foiled him Firally Phelps gave him t..
! understand that if he did not kill the
Matsons he Phelps) would kill him.
Then he went to the house, and, after
firing the fatal shot, turned and fed.
Next day he was arrested. When he
came on for trial at Oacoma he pleaded
guilty.

At the incoming hour, in the afternoon
when the days work was done, some
times in the morning before the rocks
whirred and complained, the occupant
was about putting on touch here
and there which no master mechanic
could give.
Then the rains beat upon 1t; and the
hail pitted it; and the hoar frost whit
ened it; and the sun blistered it; and
the great clouds of smoke from the
factory near by blackened it and chung

The other house had been moved
from a fashionable quarter of the city
and settled down by the one which was
born there. 1t wasn't exactly a new
conner, for it was old in it's design and
build, and SCARED in many places. 1t
had lost it's fortune, like some of the
people you have met. And it had
adapted itself to circumstances by NOV
ing down into a section where the So
ciety reporter would be wonder.
Still, in it's faded attire, in it's ill
shape, it was more pretentions than the
other. It was the shabby genteel arm
in arm with the commonest, poorest
peasant in the cheapest store clothes.
These two houses became acquainted
the day before Thanksgiving. That is,
the house which had formerly stood
in the fashionable quarter was moved
into its present quarter in the dusk of
the evening before the day of thanks.
The little house that was so severely
plain, so unpretentious, and that had
Lever been anything else than what
it is at this day said to the new ar
rival:
you look tired. 1t is too bad to be
moving at this time when everybody is
at home, or ought to be, enjoying him
self and giving thanks. Won't you
come over and eat dinner with us to-
| morrow and get acquainted? We
haven't much, but it is our own. We
have earned it, and although what we
have is plain it hasn't come at the cost
of anything except a few aches and
pains of the body. They are nothing
It's the pain and ache of the heart
which hurt and which make people
thankless. Won't you come? You will
be so welcome"
The old house from the fashionable
quarter looked down upon the little one
and replied: Excuse me. had rather
stay by myself on such day. 1t is
very kind Of you, but, really, you should

mediately resumes its line of flight
after trimming the object it is unable

say, a ball turned from its course by a

body and then passes out, resuming it's
exact line of flight, if enough Of its

THOUGHT HIM A JUDGE.
A French Artists Experience With

A French Artists Experience With
Two Women I'm Dalmatin.
A French gentleman who visited Dal-
matia, in Austro- Hungary, tells how he
uncOnsciously posed as q native digni-
tary. He visited the police court of
Zara, the capital of the country, one
day to take some sketches Of the Dali
matian peasants who had been sum-
moned from neighboring villages as
witnesses in q case that was being
tried. Among others he sketched two
fne-looking old women.
Each wore on her head large snow
white turban, trimmed with red rib
bons, with great braids Of false hair
tied with green ribbons. Their broad
silver girdles were orna1nellted with
uncut jewels. They stood with their
hands clasped, motionless and appar-
emily frightened about something-I
could not tell what.
Later the judge called me to him and
told me that the two old peasants who
had posed for me an hour with such
apparent good will had come to him to
make a complaint. 49,
They had solemnly related how "a
man had kept them standing for an
hour looking at them sternly and writ
ing all the time, and finally that he had
given them each a form, but had not
passed sentence upon them"
The poor old women had thought I
was a judge, and that while l was
studying them to catch the expression
of their faces and the pose of their
heads, I was trying to read their hearts
and discover if there were any guilt on
their conscience

Farrasut's Personal Appearance.

Farrasut's Personal Appearance.
Farragut had never been seen by the
crew, and Jacks curiosity on the sub
ject was considerably aroused He
CO me alongside in a shoreboat alone
and unnOticed, assembled the starboard
gangway ladder with a light, active,
springy step and nervous manner;
shook hands with the officers, glanced
along the spar deck and up aloft; raised
his uniform cap, which was incased in
a glazed cover, as he gained the quar-
ter deck, over which foated the stars
and stripes, and disappeared in the
cabin.
Capt. Farragut was at this time sixty
three years of age, fifty-tWo Of which
had been spent af1oat in the service of
his country. He was below the aver
age height and slim in figure, weighing
about 13O pounds, and smooth shaved.
The top Of his head was quite bald,
which fact he tried to conceal by comb
ing side hair across it, or, as the sail
ors termed it, by making the after
guard perform topmen's duty" His
manner was dignifed but unassuming;
his features were pleasant in express
sion but could darken and froWn ON
inously on occasions. He wore the
plain uniform of a captain, the frock
Of which was buttoned at the termina-
ton Of the lapel. 1t was a popularity
Of Farragut's that he would allow his
coat to fly open, and only on special oc-
casions would he button it, as regula-
tions demanded, and then only for q
few moments.
1t may appear a strange statement
to the general reader that the first i'm
preston Of Farragut on the crew were
far from favorable. Safe within the
boundaries of the berth deck, the men
commented upon the appearance Of the
''old man," as every commanding Off
Ger is termed, be he sixteen or sixty,
and the general verdict was disap-
pointment in the 'cut of his jib." Sail
ors arrive at their conclusions quickly,
and are generally correct in their esti-
mates of the officers placed over them;
but in this instance, where Farragut
was disparaged on all sides as a leader
and fighting man, their Judgment was
wide of the truth. They had yet to
learn of the rare qualities lying DOR
mant in Farraguts nature.-Blue and
