"She had aged years in the short
twenty-four hours since her boy fell
victim to the treachery of one he had
befriended. She seemed stunned by
the tragedy. Here, for twenty years
and moro, she had lived in the full
knowledge that every hour Of each day
might bring her tidings that one or
both of her boys had met with 3 vio-
lent death, but when it came the shock
well-nigh shattered her reason.
"The ice box in which Jesse's body
lay was opened, and for full two min

vigor seemed to return, her bent figure

whether it was in answer to her
prayers am not prepared to say, but
certain it is that Charlie Ford never
knew an instant of peace from the day
that Jesse was shot. Unlike Bob, he
did not even pretend to conceal his
real feelings under an air of bravado.
Both boys were in mortal terror every
minute until Frank surrendered that
he would cross their path unexpectedly
some day and that their lives would
pay the forfeit Bob hid this fear by
assuming clustering boldness, which
at times he was far from feeling. His
was the stronger character of the two.
Charlie, on the contrary, passed his
nights in restless sleeplessness and his
geance. Even the short period Of Sc
curity which he enjoyed while frank
was In custody afforded no lasting
peace for him. As soon as Frank was
released the old terror returned with
renewed force, and so preyed upon his
nerves that he soon became a mental
wreck. It drove him to a suicides grave
at last"

The Naval Powers.

An official report of the instantly
available battle ships Of the six great
powers shows that of first-class vessels
England has Is, France 0, Russia and
the Triple Alliance 10, of which 9are
italian and 1 German. All the English
vessels steam 16L knots and upward,
. being 1875: none Of the French is over
1879 knots; while 9 of the Russians
are under 16, the third reaching 17.s.
In second-class ships England leads
with 10. France has 0, Russia and the
Triple Alliance II, of which Germany
owns and Austria 4. Here there is no
such superiority of speed on the Eng
lish side, tsree being under ID knots,
while no French vessel goes SO low -
that figure and all the Russians stesu

LIFE ON AN iRONCLAD.

Ordinary Gales Seem Like Hurricanes and
Existence IL . Continual Misery.
Admiral Won Werner, high authori-
ty in naval matters in Germany, de-
scribes in work recently published
the behavior Of armor-plated men-of-
war in a heavy sea. He says: Even
with q moderate gale and sea an
srmor-plated cruiser, if going against
the wind, will find herself in condi-
tions similar to those of a storm-at
least the crew will have that impress
sion. The movements of the stern OF
the ship are violent and exceedingly
disagreeable. The waves pushed by
the advancing prov sweep continually
over the ship from bow to stern. All
windows and portfolios must be closed,
and air reaches the lower decks, where
the heat increases unbearably, only
through the artificial ventilators. With
the exception Of the specially protected
command bridge, all the uncovered
portions of the ship are impossible;
thus the whole crew must bear rs we'll
Us they can the hell of the closed decks
On such ship no one can feel COM
Portable; and when there is storm in
which sailing ship would feel COM
paratively at ease, the crew of an
armor-plated ship imagines itself to be
in heavy hurricane which threatens
destruction at every minute. The long,
narrow forepart of the ship, which is
not borne lightly by the water, and is
rendered extremely heavy by the
mighty ram and the armored deck and
the cannon and torpedoes, forces the
ship in high sea to pitchings and roll
ings of such an extraordinary kind
that they cannot be described. The
crew of such ship is not only ex-
posed to mortal dangers, but in the
voyages they make render them ex-
tremely and dangerously nervous; the
mental impressions they receive wear

suppresstng Polish National Spirit.

Great indignation is felt among the
sculptors and art dealers Of Warsaw
over a recent rescr1pt of the police OF
that city. The guardians of the peace,
in obedience to orders from St. Peters
burg, visited all the stores and studios
and destroyed all the busts of the
Polish heroes, Thaddaeus Kosciusko
and Josef Powniatowski, which they
could find. The sculptors in the city
were obliged to send q written COM
munication to the city officials promis-
ing not to make bustsor statues of the
two men in the future. This is one
way Russia has adopted Of trying to
suppress the Polish national spirit. It

BENCH AND BAR.

, Qualities Necessary to Nake Good Judges
and Lawyers.
A judge must be fearless; for if
timid this weakness is at once taken
advantage of by sharp-witted lawyers,
who will do all they can to ''bluff'' him
into some unjust concession or unwill-
ing ruling, knowing his fear Of having
any unpleasant scene in the court
room, writes Eugene Macs in Home
and Country.
If the occupant of the bench has not
the courage to promptly and efectual-
~ sdielch these blusterers, the dignity
of the court suffers and the judge in
allowing lawyers to, edomineer over
him Is humiliated. Under such cir
eumstances reproof must be always adj
ministered when deserved, yet it must
be administered mildly, although
thoroughly, lest by showing his anger,
or giving vent to it, the court again
loses it's dignity.
A Judge should always be prompt to
check the ardor of legal windbags, who
bring up formidable stacks of sheep"
covered volumes, and cite authority
after authority in dreary succession re-
garding points concerning which the
court has already passed an opinion.
Above all things a judge must not be
imaginative, and should never allow
himself to be carried away by his feel
ings. His calmer Judgment and reason
must be his sole guides.
Let it not be imagined, either, that q
Judge, to per form his duties rightly,
must be either devoid Of feeling or In
spired by inhuman pitilcssness. On
the contrary, judge should be great
hearted, while impartial; merciful,
while just.
Mercy, indeed, is the laurel wreath
of the honor for the just Judge. In
every truth it is twice blessed-it
blesseth him who gives, and him who
takes" Often, when confronting
prisoner, whose first ofense awaits
sentence, the words of the court, aa
well as the sentence itself, may either
harden the poor unfortunate, or else
be the turning point for good in his
Me.

An Interesting Sight.

An interesting sight was Witnessed
by the visitors at Niagara Falls re-
GENTLY. It was the annual migration
of crows toward the south. This
usually occurs in early winter, but this
year, for some unknown reason, did
not occur until the list of March. The
crows passed southwark by the NIL
lion, and for two days the air was
black with them, and the noise Of their
cawing was almost deafening. When
they got to the falls the lit in large
numbers on the ice bridge and set up
q wild cawing. The sound echoed
against the walls of the gorge and
made tremendous noise. When they
were rested they arose with a loud
whirring of wings and continued their
flight. Many flew into the falls and
were drowned.

Millet's Widow and Fills Greatest Paint

A few days ago, writes the Paris cor
respondent of the Philadelphia Tele-
graph, there passed away from a
troublous life the widow of the great
artist, Jean Baptiste Francois Millet
1t is rather q commentary on the
strange ways Of this world, the fact
that the man whose picture, ''l'Ange-
lus," brought so fabulously high q
price, sold that and many other mas
terpieces for sums ranging from fifty
to two hundred dollars apiece, and
after toiling miserably and hopelessly
in the vain effort to earn money enough
to keep the wolf from his shabby door
suddenly broke down under the strain
and died Of malady brought on by
anxiety and privation, not knowing
that his fame would speedily be lauded
to the skies.
His family survived to see the apo
theosis of his glory; but whether the
fact of 1.-THE Angelus" bringing at sale
over one hundred thousand dollars con-
soled the artists widow for the fact
that, within a week after this amount
Of money had been paid for her hus-
bands work, she herself, then in the
depths of poverty, was elected from her
little house at Barbizon by the fore
closure Of q mortgage for two Thousand
dollars and, had it not been for the
charity Of her son-in-law, would have
been reduced to begging her bread, is
an unsolved mystery.

MORE POWERFUL THAN STEAM.
Marvellous Force Obtained from Musical
Vibration.

Marvellous Force Obtained from Musical
Vibration.
l, for one, believe, says q Boston
Transcript correspondent, that we are
on the eve of great era of applicable
Of steam and electricity will be rele-
gated to desuetude such as has over
taken the stage coach.
The grounds of my belief are based
not wholly on hearsay, but chiefly on
. curious experience. A few days ago
q young man living in the vicinity Of
Boston \ took me to his room and
showed me an apparatus which he had
himself constructed with amazing in
genuiSy and skill. The fundamental
primum mobile of this simple machine
was musical vibration. have no right
to describe the apparatus, but the force
produced in an incredibly brief interval
of time by means of a fiddle bow was so
enormous that there seemed to be no
way Of measuring it, and the chief diff
Aculty in the way of practical applica-
ton lay in the regulation of this
force, which, if directed full upon q
human being, the inventor believed,
would instantly vaporize his body. A
single drop of water confined in hol-
low stoll tube was resolved by q small
fraction Of this possible energy into a
motor capable Of running an engine, II
properly applied.
It is well known to all scientific men
that a cubic foot of atmospheric air
contains latent (if one might use the
term), or in suspension, force enough
to kill regiment. Musical vibration
seems to set free portion Of this en-
ergy, and it's resources are infinite. IT
once they can be regulated It will be
the simplest and most Inexpensive way
of doing all manual work, for 1t will
require no heat.
The young man who thought out this
wonderful series Of apparatus is self
made, not having had great advan-
tages OF education; but for pure genius,
I think. whether as q practical In
ventor or as theoretical experiment.
or, he will take high rank among the
great Of the world. -

Mr.. Cremony, in his ''Life Among the
Apschos," gives IN entertaining 90
oeant OF ladyS man with whom he
once enjoyed an Interview. "A tall,
strong, well-made and handsome young
dandy" he calls him; strutting about
with an air of very superior con-
sequence, displaying his colossal pro-
PORTIONS, his splendid leopard-skin sad
ole, CULVER, leggins and the like.
After awhile Sait-jah came swagger-
ing toward me, and said, in broken
Spanish: ''Our chief says you great
medicine; he says your pistol fires six
fames without reloading; he says you

70 the eye, so you can count the leaves;
ne says your guns reach great way
and never miss; he says a great many
ether wonderful things, which l can
mot believe. You have bewitched him."
Drawing six-shooter from my belt,
i pointed out a tree about seventy-five
yards distant, and began firing rapidly.
zach shot struck the tree, and blazed
of large fragments of the bark.
Salt jah was astonished, and made no
attempt to conceal the fact; but his adj
miration broke into emphatic express
sion when he witnessed the precision
and reach of our Sharp's rifles, and the
rapidity with which they could be
loaded and fred. His pride had evil
IDENTIFY received heavy fall, and his
lofty bearing was toned down many
degrees.
In my possession was the miniature
of young lady, whose graces of per-
son, cultivated mind and amiable dis
position rendered her one of the most
1ovable of Boston's fairest daughters.
Saitcjah happened to see this picture,
and asked permission to take a good
look at the pleasant features. The
miniature was placed in his.hand, and
his eyes seemed to devour its expressive
6neaments. Throughout the remain
der of the day he bored me with FREE
quent requests for another look, and
the next morning, as soon as the camp
was astir, he offered me his bow, ar
rows and splendid leopard-skin for the
picture.
The offer being refused, he added his
horse, and whatever other property he
might have; then, finding me deaf to
his entreaties, he took one long, last
look, vaulted on his horse, set off at
full speed, and rapidly disappeared in
the distance.

A young man who walked mp NftA
avenue the other evening wore stk
hat and an extremely long ''paddocks
coat He walked IN . listless way, -
1.-The had nothing in particular to do.
and as If he would not do anything
were there something to be done. He
seemed to take little interest in any
thing, unless it were to avoid tho little
puddles at the street crossings and to
keep his shoes from getting splashed.
As the young man walked along he
heard a loud shouting up the avenue,
and, looking in that direction in >
calm and deliberate way. he saw that
a cab horse was running away. The
horse was coming down the avenue at
q lively rate, and the driver, who was
clinging desperately to his box, was
yelling like Comanche Indian. .s.
When horse runs away in New
York. says the Tribune of that city,
there is an earnest desire on the part
of all the people in the street to take
a hand III the proceedings. What
happened in this case was inst what
usually happens. Two or three men
would run out into the street, raise
their arms, wave them violently and
shout. The horse would move little
faster, the cabman would yell more
Justify, and those who had run out in
to the street would add their cries to
the general hubbub. This happened
Mt REQ ular intervals
But the calm young man who strolled
along in SO leisurely manner was evi-
IDENTITY not going to interfere with q
runaway horse. He stood on the edge
of the sidewalk watching the galloping
animal come tearing along. OF a sud
den, however, a change came over him.
When the horse had nearly reached
him his form struighteped and he be-
came alert. st the minute when the
cab was opposite him he swung out
into the muddy street, and, running
like deer, was almost instantly at
the horses head. They ran neck and
neck for few seconds. Then the
young mans arm shot out swiftly, and
he had the plungiilg animal by the bit.
AS he ran he drew down the horses
head until the animal had either to
stop running or stumble and break its
neck. IL stopped running.
In the crowd which pushed into the
street was an impulsive old gentleman,
who nervously threw open the door Of
the cab. He assisted man who was
inside to alight, and then, selling him
by the arm, led him up to the young
man who had stopped the horse. He
was scolding the driver in mild voice
for being SO careless as to allow his
horse to get the bit between it's teeth.
"There," cried the excitable old
gentleman, in an admiring voice, lis the
young man to whom you are indebted
for saving your life.''
But the young life saver" said, with
almost drawl: mo thanks are neces-
sary. It's very easy matter to stop
a runaway horse" Then he stopped
over and rolled up his trousers, bowed
to the man whom he had ''saved," and,
regainilg the sidewalk, sauntered. up
