HIS FIDDLE TALKED FOR HIM.
An Old Negroes Proof That He Had a
Right to Carry the Instrument.

An OLD Negroes ProOf Ihat he Had q
Right to Carry the Instrument.
Several nights ago, as Patrolman Charles
Rommel was patrolling his beat he dis
covered an old darby walking down the
street with violin under his arm. When
he had gotten even with him he stopped
him and began questioning him. The
policeman was not satisfied with the ne
gro's account of where he had gotten the
instrument, and he placed him uuder ar
rest. The negro went on without word,
and at the station gave his name as James
McCloskey, says the Louisville Courier
Journal.
The next day he was presented before
Judge Smith. The policeman told the
Judge how he had seen the negro on the
street with the instrument, and he said
he did not believe it belonged to him. 1t
was fine violin, he said, and negro that
had no more money than this negro
seemed to have could not afford to buy
such a fine instrument. The patrolman
finally asked the Judge to give him two
days to look for the owner of the violin,
saying that he believed in that time he
could be able to locate its owner. The
time was granted him and the negro was
held over.
Yesterday he was again presented before
the court. Those against him tried to
make out felony case, as they said that
the violin was worth considerably over $40.
The violin was worth $40, or perhaps $5O
During the course of the trial the police
man told the Judge that the negro had
admitted to him that he could not play on
the instrument, and that was one reason
why he made the arrest, as he knew that a
man would not pay large sum for a thing
he could not use.
Up to this time the prisoner had re-
manned silent. He had sat with downcast
ewes and did not seem to hear what was
going on. When he heard this he suddenly
looked up and said:
"He's mistaken, yo' Honor. / didn't
say that couldn't play on the VIOLIN"
The Judge remained silent for moment,
and then asked that the instrument be
handed to the negro. A light came in the
darky's face as he took the instrument
into his hands. He looked it over carefully
and then fondled it under his arm. He
then took it from under his arm and began
to tune it. He had scarcely struck the
first note when the crowd in the court
room began to stir and move up closer to
the prisoners dock. In few moments
the instrument was tuned, and in the
sweetest strains the "Arkansas Traveller
echoed and re-echoed through the court
room. The crowd began to pat their feet
in time with the music, and the Judge had
to order the negro to stop playing. While
the prisoner was playing his hand trem-
bled and his eyes shone with an unusual
brightness. 1t was with reluctance that

The Gulf Stream.

The warmth of the stream is accounted
Tor by the fact that its waters are supplied
from the tropics, the tide waves acting on
the principle of an eddy, so it has counter
currents also. The theory rests upon the
assumption that the water is higher on the
east than on the west side of the isthmus OF
Panama. The continent of America is the
great dam of the ocean that forms the gull
stream. Place the continent of America so
IL VIII lie east and west, there would be no
gulf stream. If there were no other land
on the globe other than America there
would be no ocean currents except those
connected with America, but such is not
the case.
Africa has her nose in the way, Aus
tralia and New Zealand intervene, and
Asia is there to stop tides and make ocean
currents in the Pacific Ocean. So when
we find large bodies of land directly in the
path of the tides we find ocean currents
also. All large oceans have their counter
currents or eddies. The water that has
been carried west by the tides has to
return as currents to supply the de-
ficiency, thus imparting the eddy motion.
The tides and the winds, with the land
and its formations, will produce every
circumstance connected with the ocean
currents. The peculiar formation of the
land has a good deal to do about getting
up the Gulf misunderstanding American.

John Balm, an octogenarian, who had his
children, grandchildren and great-grand-
children with him; George Davidson, the
first secretary of the society, and Robert
sutherland. Among others present were
Colin NJ. Boyd, J. s. Webster, John Reid,
Christopher Chisholm, John II. Harris,
Richard Cratic, Andrew Wikie and D. r.

Notwithstanding the unusual heat,
dancing was kept up with vigor in the
pavilion all day, and the last item on the
programme, a highland schottlsche, was
concluded only few minutes before the
last train left for the City. Gregg orches-
ira furnished the music in admirable style.
The games were commenced shortly
before 1 O'Clock and were finished in ample
time to allow the participants to join their
friends; who were, as a rule, picnicking
under the shade OF the trees on the hill
sides. The most exciting event was the
tug of war, between the single and married
men, the latter winning.
Just before leaving anenthusiastic men,
Der struck up the familiar air of ''Auld

Your highly superstitious darky believes in

of the peculiar phrases used is "chucka luck"
which is equivalent to being all run down

him. Then he is unhappy. He will sit in the
broiling sun and boil and boil and boil until
his blackship is almost roasted asleep; when
he awakes, nanny gives him decoction of
stewed herbs, and if he only knew it the herbs
cured him of his out-of-sorts-his "chucka

Musical critics on this side of the chan

The Swiss of Asia.

An opening into one of the few remain
ing lands of mystery has been made by
the recent visit to the Afghan boundary
commission of two Kafrs from the country
OF the Sia-posh. This singular people, in
habiting the wild mountain tracts between
Cashmere and Cabul, cannot be conf
IDENTIFY traced to any exact origin. The
name "Katir," given by their Moslem
neighbors, only indicates they are not
Mohammedans; their other generic ap-
pellation, Sia-posh, has reference to their
clothing. Their actual origin and race
character remain unknown. Their total
number is vaguely estimated at 100000,
broken up into independent and often an
tagonistic tribes or clans, says the London
World.
Fair and blue-eyed, using chairs, drink
ing wine, and saluting by shaking hands,
they are fond of dancing and refresh them
selves with home-brewed wine. Here are
some Of the elements, surely, of European
civilization in this forgotten corner of the
East, and it is to be added that the Kafirs
use language in which both roots and
infections have often reminded inquirers
of Greek. On such grounds a theory has
been advanced that they may be descended
from Macedonian stragglers left behind in
the march of Alexander the Great from
Babylon to the banks of the Sutlei. What
is certain is that they have for ages de-
Tended the passes to their little Switzer-
land with rude weapons, but indomitabIe
resolution. The country is about equal in
size to the Glisons and the Valois to-
gether, and is believed to contain GUAM
tity of high and bold alpine scenery.
