But the inspector was only joking,
and half an hour later he and Multi

for the lodgings of the missing NJ. La

too, though the name he had passed
under with his landlady was not La
Revanche, but Nontagnard. The lady
gave a very peculiar description of
him, and stated that the cab which
took away him and his baggage went
to Victoria He had not taken all his
luggage. and what he had left behind
demonstrated his identity with La
Revanche. 1t consisted of several I'M
charged bombs, q large bottle of sui
phuric acid and the materials for COM
pounding an explosive powder of great
strength Evidently he had left in a
great hurry.
To Mulligan was delegated the duty
of tracing the missing man The task
was no easy one, and for more than a
month his reports were not altogether
satisfactory He had traced La Re-
vanche to Paris, but there for long
time completely lost sight of him
One morning just after Inspector
Murphy had reached his Office at the
yard the door opened and il walked
Detective Sergeant Mulligan. Though
entirely unexpected. he was received
by his inspector without the slightest
indication OF surprise.

Mulligan nodded his head.

Mulligan shook his head.

asked Murphy, in q tone of disappoint-

NO; I had some trouble over that,
but in the end he admitted it himself"

French government refuse to arrest
him?"
because he's the young Comte de

two sisters were murdered by Roche &

The inspector looked steadily at his
subordinate for moment, then he
whistled to relieve his feelings.
What are they going to do with

He had given it all away, but she kept
her counsel until he said he had bought the
machine and would advertise for girl
"Oh, no need to do that" she said. II have

the quickest and best shorthand girl In

An Amusing Fire.

Barnum's museum, destroyed July 10,
1865, was one of the most amusing fires
that ever occurred in New York city. 1t
occurred in the daytime. Chief John
Decker was in charge, assisted by Orr,
Bates, Lamb Cleary, Everett and Sulli
van. Thousands crowded Broadway clear
up to Park place as well as Park row,
while the park in front was black with
people. 1t was fun to see the boys at the
outset of the fire bringing out Barnum's
old stuffed images and wax figures. One
fellow ran out with Henry Clay under one
arm and General Winfield Scott under the
other. Queen Victoria was dragged out by
the hair of her head. Mary, queen of Scots,
was tossed out of the second story win
dow, followed by Hicks, the pirate Head
Carpenter Walker of the theater, who was
also member of Engine No. 3s, that lay
in Ann street, got so excited that he fell
headlong down the main entrance stair
way with Napoleon in one hand and Walk
err, filibuster, in the other. Andy Pur-
ten, the old foreman Of Engine No. IA,
brought out two monkeys, one that gave
him mark that he carries to this day.
The happy family that attracted so
much attention in those days were deter
mined not to leave, the cage door was
thrown wide open and the birds and ami
mails punched with sticks to drive them
out, but few would accept their liberty
and were burned to death. All of the 100.-
600 curiosities were destroyed. - Western

American Theater Audiences.

Taken all in all, American audiences are
much more quiet and attentive than Eng
lish audiences, and the actors are nearly
always sure of a respectful hearing. Now
and then there is some annoyance occasion
ed by the chatting of theater parties in the
boxes as was the case one evening this
week, when the occupants of some of the
boxes talked and laughed so increasingly
and so audibly that they not only failed
themselves to follow the play, in which
they probably were not interested but pre-
vented those who came to the theater for
the sake of the play from hearing what
was going on on the stage, while the &C
tors were equally disturbed and could not,
Of course, do full justice to their roles

from whom we had borrowed it the day

a farmer whom we had always considered
a star subscriber. He had not missed a
paper or paid cent in seven years. But
when he saw that gun he waltzed up with
a $40 bill. When we got home, we found
a load of hay, Is bushels of corn and a
barrel of turnips, which had been brought
in by delinquents. If money will buy that
gun, we are going to keep it to make col
