SHORT STOPS.
What the People are Saying
GBY Col. JAS. P. NEwcoMB.l

The intelligent, conservative
people of this city can only regret
that the discussion Of the great
question of sewerage and water
works has degenerated into per-
sonalities. Col. Breckenridge is
held up by one public journal as
a bold, bad man; while Mayor
Paschal is denounced in another
public journal, as an infidel, a
mocker of religion, because he made
mention of Gabriel blowing his
horn.

PARIS FROM MoNTMARTRE.-1n 10
other city can recall anything in it
self so sordidly picturesque as those
crawling heights, which lead up to the
Butte, SO wonderful is the vision of the
CITY which the Butte gives one. ]
know Montmartre chiefly by night; 1t 8
not a place for the day; and the vie"
of Paris which l am thinking of is the
view of Paris by night. When you
have climbed as high as you can climb,
ending almost with ladders, you reach
dreary little strip of ground, in which
a rouch wooden paling seems to bold
YOU back from falling sheer into the
a5vss of Paris. :,
Under wild sky, as like to see it,
the city floats away endlessly, vague,
immense vision of forests of houses,
softened by fringes of actual forests;
here and there dome, tower. brings
suddenly before the eyes definite 10
cality; but for the most part it is but
succession of light and shade, here tall
white houses coming up out of a pit OF
shadow, there an unintelligible mass OF
darkness, sheared through by an mex
plicable arrow of light. Right down
below one looks straight into the light
ed windows, distinguishing the outline
of the lamp on the table, of the figure
which moves about the room; while in
the far distance there is nothing but a
faint, reddish haze, rising dubiously In
to the night, as if the lusts of Paris
smoked to the skies.
Night after night ! have been up 10
this odd, fascinating little corner, mere.
ly to look at all I had left behind, and
| have been struck by the attraction
which this view obviously has for the
somewhat unpleasant and unimpres
sionable people who inhabit the neigh
borhood. Aristide Bruant's heroes ard
heroines, the lady on her way to S..
Lazare, the gentleman-who knows p
perhaps to La Roquette, they rest from
their labors at times, and, leaning over
the wooden paling, I am sure enjoy
Paris impressionistically.- Fortnsghtty

bunch of old fashioned four o'clocks.' 1t
was the first had seen in years, and at
once wanted to go back to my old home,
where they grew in two long rows in the
front yard. AS she passed up the aisle ev.

fears start in several eyes. AS went to
leave the train enc young fellow said, Did
you see the four o'clocks?' Yes We'll,

them in the front yard. And made up

nina one of the benches. AS soon as VIC
got chance We both followed the exam
pie of the rest and scuttled out upon the
landing. A small bottle of hydrochoric
acid caught Wilderspin in the neck, made
him yell dismally and turned his coat a
bright red forthwith.
There was method in the anarchist S
madness. He threw nothing more so soon
as he had gained possession of the labora-
tory, but proceeded to raid round and col
lect together all the bottles of acid, corro-
sive sublimatc, lunar caustic and so forth
upon the bench nearest the window. He
clearly meant to invest his arrest with pc
culiar difficulty, but Smith was still equal
to him. He had run into the storcroom
and re-emcrged with a hugo jar of that
most uncomfortable gas, sulphuretted by
drogen.
"Tako out tho bung and fling it in, 4"
said he, "quick!' and returned for the
pungent virtues of the ammonia.
We followed this up with a carboy Of
hydrochloric acid and the ammonium sui
phide gas only rivaled in its offensive
ness by the sulphuretted hydrogen.
The enemy scarcely grasped our import
until these vapOrs spread toward him and
merely lodged behind bench. In 30 sec
onds there was as unpleasant u conflict Of
chemical odors in that room as one can
well imagine, and the air was dense with
white clouds of ammonium chloride. The
enemy soon discovered our aim and tried
charge. As the jar of ammonium sui
phide went in and smashed on the floor
saw a small bottle fly toward me through
the wreck, but it missed the doorway and
knocked the blackboard over.
Stand out of the way!' shrieked the
anarchist, looming up through the rising
Cog and stencil, but we slammed the door
and shut him and his atmosphere in to-
gethcr. He tuggcd furiously at the handle
Ind hammered madly at the panel. l
heard him yell for mercy and fall a-cough-
ing. l thought we had beaten him and
would have opened the door had not Smith,
tearing n rush, restrained me. The an

trial in Bangor, Me-, in which certain
horse doctor was witness.
