To LEAVE THE CITY.-Among the
prisoners before the Mayor this morn-
was Alphonso Arlington. 1t was the
old story-domestic infelicity-in which
his wife and son testified to his bestial-
ity, in that he was drunk and disorder
ly and had thrown a beer keg through
q window. Alphonso cried much. He
generally does when in the meshes of
the law. He was fined So, but having
no money, he promised to leave the
city if released. The Mayor ordered Of
ticer McCuen to escort the delinquent
to the feryboat with the understanding
that should he put in his appearance
here during the next twelve months
he would be put on the chain gang.

the Confederate army, entering rs a private
in the famous Rockbridge artillery when he
was but eighteen years old. He was counted
one of the bravest and most tireless fighters
in the ranks. An interesting incident is re-
lated of how he met his father after a hot
battle i'll which young Lee had taken an az
tive part. The artillery was parkei i'll sn
open field the day after the first fight at Cold
Harbor. With the other members of his
company, Private Lee had sought rest be-
meath the cannon. One Of his comrades call

The Cost of n Billiard Ball.

The globe of ivory which is Knocked
about a table in a game of billiards costs,
if good quality, at least $40. This repre-
SCENTS its cost in money. There is, however,
a far more important and formidable ele-
ment in the price which has been paid for
if. The billiard ball of pure ivory repre-
SCENTS. as it lies white and glistenng upon
the cloth, expenditure of human life
blood as well as Of money.
Elephants tusks are brought down to the
African coast by caravans, generally in
charge of Arabs, which have been trading
in the interior. Very often they have
picked UP slaves as well as ivory. But
this phase of the matter may be left out of
the account.
1t is estimated that every large caravan
bringing ivory to the coast has cost more
than hundred and sixty human lives
through fights and murders in the course Of
the expedition. Thirty more men are likely
to have succumbed to feVers or other dis
eases and the fatigues of the march.
The hunting of the elephants and the cap
ture Of the ivory are very likely to have
caused the death of ten men altogether.
Such casualties are the rule in elephant
hunting rather than the exception.
An average tusk does not furnish more
than enough material for two good billiard
balls. Of course the remainder of the ivory
in each tusk is made use of In other ways;
a perfect cut billiard ball requires special
quality or so-called NERVE" which is found
only in one part of the tusk.
The chances are that billiard ball of the
first quality has cost at least one human
life: and there is not one such ball which
NAV not truly be said to be stained with
mems blood. They can hardly be consider
ed. therefore, cheerful accompaniment
to sensitive persons diversions.

A PRIZE OFFER.

Several weeks ago we told our young
readers to look for another prize offer be-
fore very long. The wonderful interest
taken in our other prize offers and the ex-
cellent talent developed by the boys and
girls for writing induces US to make an
other offer.
The schools have just closed and all the
boys and girls thinking about the holi-
days. Some already have their plans laid
out for the summer vacatlon-others are
wondering how they will spend the summer
months; but the minds OF one and all are
filled with golden dreams of the three
happy months Of the year, to which they
have all been looking forward during the
long school term.
Now, while the minds of the boys and
girls are filled with visions of the bright
summer days to come, and before they be-
gin to get tired of their holidays and al
most wish school would open again. we are
going to offer s. in gold for the best story
written about "A Summer Vacation" We
leave the rest TO the imaginations of our
young readers. The story must not be
longer than 1000 words. 1t must be written
without any assistance from amy one, and
a pledge to that effect must be enclosed
with each story. The name and address OF
the writer must be written at the beginning
OF the end of each story and the manuscript
must be written on one side of the paper
only. These directions must be closely fol-
lowed, and you should cut TINS out ana
keep it before you when you write.
YOU may write your story about anything
that the theme-"A Summer Vacatio
suggests, but it must be story Just go
off to a quiet place and sit down and think
about what might take place during sum
iaer vacation. All children are naturally
story-tellers, and if you will just give rein
to your imagination il Will not be long be-
fore you will have q good story in your
mind Then write it out and send 1t in to
compete for the S. in gold.
All stories must be IN hand by the 23d
of June. This gives you nearly three weeks
in which to think about and write your
story. This is an open contest to all boys
and girls under fifteen years Of age. Here
tofore we have offered separate prizes for
the bows and girls. This is offered for
both, and it will be good way to see
whether the girls really write better stories
than the boys.
