CHILDREN IN PERIL.
Saved from Impending Death by a
Mothers Prompt Action.

James Welsh, who has ranch on TO-
Mile, came nearly being indirectly re-
sponsible for the death of child Satur-
day. He came in with q four-horse
team, and driving up to house at the
corner of Tenth and Garrison streets,
went in without tying the team. A
number of small children were playing
in the vicinity, who clambered up on the
wagon and one of them in play cracked
the whip over their heads. The horses
stated to run. All the children but,two
jumped. One of these was too terrified,
and one in attempting to jump became
entangled in rope tied across the end,
in lieu of an endgate, and could not
move either way. The mother of one
of the children saw the .four-horse team
start, and outstripped them In the mad
race. In her desperation, she reached
the rear of the wagon, disentangled the
child from the rope, and with her other
hand rescued the other little one, who
was crazed with fright. She could not
have done this only that the team hap
pened to be headed up hill, slope
covered with deep sand. The owner of
the team reached them moment later
and secured control of the reins. If the
horses had been headed the other way,
they would have made short turn on
Ninth street, overturned the wagon, and
dragged the child to death who was
fastened in the rope, and possibly killed
the other one.

The churches of the city were all
beautifully decorated yesterday, COM
memoratiye of Easter.
The Methodist church was decorated
with house plants and cut flowers.
Among the decorations were four Gala
lily plants, each having a number of
flowers. A Sunday school concert was
given IL O'Clock and regular evening
services at 80 O'Clock. k
The Congregational church was pret-
tily decorated with vines and flowers.
In the evening the church was packed,
on the occasion of children's concert.
There was choir of twenty or more
young ladies. The most pleasing num-
ber was the infant class of Mrs. Condor,
comprising about forty little ones, who
sang and spoke an Easter greeting.
The Christian church, besides flowers
and vines, was adorned with several
canary birds in cages, whose song gave
an added significance to the day OF
praise.
The Catholic church was likewise
adorned with cut flowers and plants,
and besides about 200 burning candles.

A Strange Plant.

In the island of Reunion is a plant
known as the wild orange, which pro-
duces a fruit, green at first, afterward
blush, and verging into purple as 1T
ripens. This has been tested and
found to make a beverage in every
way equal to coffee and at a much
lower price. The product is called
''mussaenda," and can be used
alone or mixed with pure coffee 1t is
announced that about twenty-four
thousand acres of this plant are now
being cultivated. 1t is most likely,
however, that chicory, more than cof-
fee, will suffer from the introduction
of ''mussaenda.'

re. THE INTEREST OF BOTH.
A Piece or African Despotism That PRE-
vents Overcharging.


) Kabarega, the negro king of Unyoro,
in Central Africa, is man who rules
his subjects with rod of iron. Like
all tyrants, he regulates their smallest
actions, and host of spies inform
him of any disobedience to his com
mands.
Among other things he has made q
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and
every deviation from it is severely pun
ished- An instance of this is given by
Vita Hassan in his book about Emin
Pasha and the Equatorial Province.
About a month after his arrival In
Unyoro, he bought fowl and paid
thirty cowries for it, while the market
price was only twenty-five. In that
part of Africa it takes about two hun
dred and fifty. cowries to make dol
lar. Soon afterward dragoman of
the king appeared. and brought back
five cowries with the message:
ga fowl costs only twenty-five cow
ries, while you have given thirty. The
seller has done wrong, and the king
will punish him; but he sends to you
the advice to be careful henceforth in
your purchases never to give for any
thing more than it is. worth, first of all
in your own interest, and, next to this,
in order not to disturb the Market

LEASING a WIFE
A Queer Custom Formerly In Vogue In
England.


Taking wife as one does a house
on lease has actually been done more
than once in England. A Birmingham
correspond ent in the Gentlenan's S Mag
azine, in 17sS, writes: s.Since residing
in this town 1 have often heard there
is d method of obtaining wife's sis
ter upon lease. 1 never could learn the
method to be taken to get wife upon
lease or,whether such connections are
sanctioned by law; but there is an emil
nent manufacturer in the vicinity of
this town who has had his deceased
wife'S sister upon lease for ninety
years and upward, and know she
went by his name, and enjoyed all the
privileges and received all the honor
due to the respected name of wife,
And as late as 1858, also in Birmine-
ham, which would seem to be espe-
cially given to the leasing of men and
women. woman who appeared in
court against her husband said in eyi-
dence that she was not living with
him because he was leased to another
woman, and the document setting
forth the terms of the lease was pro-
duced and read. But this agreement,
couched in imposingly legal terms,
the man and woman pledged them
selves to mutual exertion, by work
and by labor, and by following all
their business pursuits to the best of
their abilities, skill and understand
ing, and by advising and assisting each
other for their mutual benefit and adj
vantage, and also to provide for them
selves and each other the best supports
and comforts of life which their means
and income may afford

crossing a river was once displayed by
kaftir, who had for some time stood
watching the vain attempts of party
of soldiers to cross the stream at a time
when to ford it was attended by con-

their efforts with that sardonic express
sion remarkable among these savages,
he quietly raised heavy stone, placed
1t on his head and then walked with
perfect ease through the torrent to the

the small hours of this morning.
Every precaution was taken to keep
the caucus quiet. The men who control
did not want it noised abroad that they

this end in view many of them did not
appear on the register of the hotel, while
others who came in the evening left on

be definitely learned, but there is every
reason to believe that it had "a direct
bearing upon the elections this week. 1t
is understood also that trades and COM

gressional plums and several judgeshlps
and the Secretaryship of state figured
largely in the deliberstion.
