MR. sLupag. HE MEDIUM.
The Poet Browning Detected an Imposi-
 ton on His Wife.

N'f'A Oh AhAs "ics
 Mir. Frederick Greenwood, in his per sonal recollections, written for the Realm" tells the following story: Every body who lives with books has heard that Robert Browning's 'Sludge, the Medium. reflected upon Home, and most people have also heard that the celebrated creature succeeded in bring ing Mrs. Browning under his influence completely. But the trick that unde- ceived her i've must suppose) is not so well known. It may have got into print, but, if so, I, for one, have never seen it, and tell the story as it was told by Browning himself. Home had been about the Brownings good deal, knew many people known to them; was, in his tea-party way, an agreeable sort of person; and there were Seances here and seanceS there; and said the poet, casting a vague look about the room to express his bewilderment, I don't know how it was. I did my best, but little by little he gained her over to believ- ing in him; how much to my distress, imariner After awhile Home found a vet more excellent way of working on the poor lady's mind. She had lost little child by death, and, her own wishes running out to embrace the promise, he began to hint that some day he would bring the little ones spirit into her presence. But he was slow in performing this spromise-naturally for, otherwise, he would have lost the ad- vantage of an excited expectation, often stimulated and as often baffied. At last an evening was named when the mothers yearning should be satisfied. In the customary way, light was shut out of the room when the three sat down, and the usual rap- pings and questiOnings and invoca- tiOns went on for a time, and then then the child's spirit was to ap- pear. And, sure enough, there did arise above the edge of the table some thing that was winter than the dark, that seemed to have a motion of it's own and the luminousness of living thing, and that might vertically be what poor Mrs Browning fancied it. But, conscious of her trembling state of mind, her husband was in another guess sort of passion. I suddenly sprang up, dashed my arm across the table, and took hold of-what do you think? The scoundrel's obscene footi- nakedr The flaming anger in which Browning finished the story-after so many years, tOo-left no doubt about what happened next to the celebrated medium-Home. He was instantly and literally kicked out of the house; his shoe and stocking after him, no doubt"

HORSES FASCINATED BY FIRE.
The Animals Seized with Strange Mad
 ness When in Peril.


 ness When in Peril.
 The panic that is inspired in the minds of horses by a phenomenon so strange as fire can be understood only by those who have witnessed fire in a large stable where numbers of horses are kept, says the St. Louis Globe-Dem- ocrat. The scene that ensues is one of the most frightful that can be conceived. The horses are rescued from the burn ing building with the utmost difficulty and only with the most serious peril to the lives and limbs of the rescuers. The animals go mad with fright, rear, kick and dash from side to side so wild ly as to make an attempt at rescue as perilous as an adventure on a hostile battery. When rescued they will often break away from those who hold them and charge back at full speed into the burning building, there to perish in the flames. They resist every attempt to take them out. They have been known to tear their rescuers with their teeth, to throw them to the ground and tram pie on them, to kick out their brains. As the fury of the flames increases so does the panic of the unfortunate ami mals. They scream out in their agony as the fire reaches their bodies, yet will they not for all that seek safety in the open air. They are crazed with fear, and yet remain to be burned to death when a ten seconds run would carry them to liberty. But they never make the run. and, as a rule. are burned. alive in their stalls, where alone they seem to fancy they can find security. There is but one way to get them out and that is to blind them with some convenient cover, such as coat or a blanket, and thus, unable to see the dangers about them, trembling in every limb, apparently ready to fall to the earth with fear, they may be led out. But the cover must not be too quickly removed from their eyes; in fact. it should not be taken off until the animals are out of sight of the burning building, otherwise they will break away from the persons leading them and, in spite of the stoutest eff forts at restraint, will dash back to per iSh in the flames.

A CRUEL PRAYER.
Mohammedans Plead for the Destruction
 of UnbeI.evers-

mOnammeuauS Bieao TOT the
 of UnbeIievers-
 The following is an exact translation from the Arabic of the official prayer of Islam, which is used throughout Turkey ana daily repeated in the Cairo ''Azhar- university by ten thou sand Mohammedan students from all lands:
 II seek refuge with Allah from Satan, the accursed. In the name of Allah the Compassionate, the Merciful! O, Lord of all Creatures, Oh, Allah! Destroy the infidels and pOlytheists, thine ene- mics. the enemies of the religion. O, Allah! Make their children orphans, and defile their abOdeS, and cause their feet to slip, and give them, and their families, and their households, and their women, and their children, and their relatives by marriage. and their brothers, and their friends, and their possessions, and their race, and their wealth, and their lands, as booty to the Moslems. O. Lord of all Creatures"
 In all the other religions of even the semi-civilized nations of the globe there can be TO prayer found to parallel this cruel appeal of Islam to the spirit of inhumanity. Bulgaria, Damascus, Leb- anon and Armenia may or may not be mere hotbeds of anti-Turkish intrigue; with such a national prayer Turkey stands self-condemned in the eyes of the world.

POLAR BEAR AND WAlRUS.
Strange Association Existing Between the
 Two Animals. F3

Two Animals. Fz
 old voyagers in Behring sea tell of strange association between the wal rus and the polar bear. The walrus furnishes the principal foood of this great carnivore, which is his deadliest foe, in fact, yet to see them together, as they frequently are encountered, one might think they were boon com panions. Lying upon the field ice will often be seen patches" of walrus con- taining from thirty to fifty, and with each of these groups will be found the polar bear. They all are apparently resting together in the happiesU sort of unity Occasionally walrus fops into the water and sinks leisurely into the depths, while others will be seen emerging the-efrom and climbing up on the ice.
 The bear becomes hungry and de- cides he will dine with the walrus that day. He rises to his launches and sways himself heavily upon all fours. After a yawn and stretch he Saunters to the nearest walrus and swings his power ful paw in a crushing blow on it's head, instantly killing the animal. He then proceeds leisurely to make com fOrtable dinner off the unfortunate ob- feet of his selection. This perform ance, apparently, does not startle the others. They continue to bask un- disturbed, seemingly indifferent to the fate of their comrade and awaiting their turn like stoics. The female wal rus with young, however, does not tol- crate the presence of the bear. She regards him with merited suspicion, and promptly takes to the water with her offspring on his appearance.

CUBA The Spanish Government Accused of Suppressing
 Information. REVOLUTION IN HONDURAS. England Finding an Excuse for
 Troubla With Hawaii.
REVOLUTION IN HONDURAS.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 15-The steamer Australia from Honolulu brings sdvices stating that Earl Kimberly has sent a decision to the British commissioner declaring that Richard and Walker are citizens of Great Britain and subject to it's protection. Both are naturalized Hawaiian citizens and were convicted of treason. The Hawaiian government will not admit they are British subjects and is willing to accept the consequences, but agrees to submit the matter to arbi- trstioH. The government steamer is patrolling Hawaiian waters to prevent the landing of arms for revolutionlsts.
 NEW YORK, May 15.-The Worlds Honduras special says that President Bogram has fled to escape arrest and that President Bonills has appointed many new generals. Among them are Zslaya and Blair, president and vice president of Caraeua.
 NEW YORK, May 15.-The Worlds Havana special says that it is almost impossible to get accurate news out of Cuba. The government surpresses all mail and telegrams containing informa- ton not favorable to its intersest. From the news brought from the interior it appears that all the small towns are at the mercy of bands of insurgents. The Spanish soldiers are afraid of them and citizens flee in terror or join them. Ma eco threatens now to burn all towns where the government has supplies.

To many people these salaries seem excessive and to tax payers who have the burden of government to bear the spacious plea of economy is made to in- duce them to favor 0 reduction. But the majority of the people who are in favor of this reduction have not stopped to snalyze these salaries, which would show that the salaries paid the Tucson teachers are in reality, less than those paid in other large towns where first class talent is desired.
 Last year there were but eight and a half months of school; and the teachers have Tot received all the salary for that time yet, and may never get it, owing to the law passed by the last legislature postpnning the payment of delinquent taxes.
 MT. Fully, the principal, st s125 a month, received for his years work the sum of sl,062.50 which, divided by twelve, the number of months in a year gives him @ ealary S88.54 a month. Surely this cannot be clslmed to be aD excessive amount to pay 8 man with the ability and education necessary to fill the position of principal of large school.
 The lady teachers who are paid SS0 a month received for their years work the sum of S680, which, divided by twelve gives them @ salary of $56 66 per month. Ths other lady teachers who are paid S70 month received s595 for their years work, which, divided by twelve, gives them an income of S49. .5S a month.
 Are these excessive amounts to pay educated, refined ladies. who have charge of our children many hours a day at the most impressionable period of their lives? Is this excessive pay for ladies who by virtue of the position they hold, are required to maintsin a position in good society with it's attendant ex- penses?
 It is the belief of your correspondent that the majority of the citizens of Tue son, being thorough Americans, and that the best way of training the child ren to be good citizens of our republic is to give them a fair education at the hands of competent and patriotic teachers are not in favor cf any step that will leave tendency to destroy the efficiency of the public schools, the main bulwark of our government, and without which vast numbers of child ren would grow up into ignorant and almost necessarily vicious men and women.
 As shown above, the pay of our teachers, at their present rate of com pensation IS not much above that of the house servant, Chinese laundrymen and day laborers, and If any material reduc- ton is made thelr pay will be reduced to that level. If the pay of teachers IS reduced to the level of servants and day lsborers it would not be long before

Are the Salaries of Teachers too
 High?
ED. CITIZEN:

ED. CITIZEN:
 There are many rumors floating around that the salaries of the teachers in the public schools of Tucson will be materially reduced the coming year and it is the opinion of many wellinformed people that the Board of School Trus tees will take such action at an early day, on the scors of economy. If the Trustees should take such action it will be the reverse of what the school authorities of California, and more par ticularly those of San Francisco, are doing. In that state and city, during the last few years, salaries of teachers have been steadily increasing, and as consequence they are getting the best edu cationsl ability obtainable. In San Francisco and Oakland the teachers are paid for every month in the year, includ- ing all vacations.
 As one taking an active interest in the welfare and efficiency of the public schools, your correspondent desires to submit 8 few figures which, in his opinion, will show the injustice of any reduction in the salaries of the teachers and also show that snch action would result in lowering the efficiency of the schools, and the salaries they receive nar month arc aa fOllowa.

that would bs the only kind of talent which would apply for such positions, and it IS almost needless to add that in few short years our public schools would be destroyed, and the splendid system of education built up by the exertions of brilliant men and women and at the cost of millions of dollars, which guarantee to every child, no mat ter how poor, sufficient equipment in the way of education to enable him to enter on the struggle of life with fair sh ow of success, the boast of American civilization, would vanish from the land and leave the powers of ignorance and crime triumphant.

Testament.
 It was once the good fortune of Harper's Bazar writer to read. in the island of Fayal, letter just written by a young lady of Portuguese-English birth who had been reading the New Testament for the first time. It was worth while to see such a letter, for many persons must have felt, first or last, with ThOreau, that it would be delightful thing for anyone to encoun- ter those wonderful narratives as fresh discovery, in maturer years, apart from all the too familiar associa- tions of Sunday school and sermon Such, as any rate, was this young lady's experience, and her statement of the result was at least little astonish- ing She wrote, ln her haif-foreign English, to an American friend in these words. "Dld you ever happen to read a book called the New Testament? If not, I advise you to do so. l have just been reading 1t one of these days, and I find it a very moral and nice book"
