A FAIRY TALE.

A fisherman was living III humble
cabin with his wife Stora- One day aft
er having uselessly spent several hours
on the river ba,lk he suddenly pulled
from the water an immense fish with
gold scales and gold crown On its
head.
"Ah!" cried he. "Here'sa fine catch.
1 will take 1t to the king. He will GER
tainly pay me generously for it. % But
the fish said: "Give 2ac my liberty. l
am an enchanted prince and can accom-
plish any wish you may express.
"All right" good naturedly replied
the fisherman This is the first time I
have ever heard fish talk, and that i'll
itself is proof of your claim. .
Dropping the fish into the water, he
retained to his cabin 70 tell the adrcn-
turc to his wife 'sWhat!o cried she.
"Al:tll from that fish, who no doubt has
the power OF :. fairy. you demanded
nothing?"
"No.' said the fisherman. 1T did
not occur to ne. anyway, what couid l
have asked for:''
What she exclaimed. ''Whcn we
are here III y miserable cabin! You
might at least have asked for Il cottage!
Go back He is under obligations to
you. You saved his life. He can refuse
you nothing -
The meek ard humble fisherman WIS
not at all anxious to make the attempt,
but finally giving way to his wife's de-
termination he went to the waters
edge and called: Fish Of gold! Royal
fshn'
"why do you call n.o:'' asked the
fish.
ALAS, % replied the ri:nid fisherman,
81 am obeying luy wife, who does not
always think as do .
And what does she wish at present.
said the fish kindly:
"Ah, 4" lac replied sadly, "she is not
satisfied with our snail cabin and wishes
a larger one -
Very we'll Retura home and You
will fEd your wish accomplished. .
! In fact, in place of the miserable
cabin was I, beautiful, cottage. Stola
was sitting radiantly happy on q bench
in front Of the door. Taking her hus-
band by the hand, she said, Just come
and see how beautiful it Isl" There was
a bedroom, With u comfortable bed, x
Kitchen with Il complete assortment OF
cooking utensils, ;n::l near by & low
court, from which came the c:.ckle Of
geese and chickens. Thcn followed u
garden full of vegetables and an orchard
Of fruit trees is it not charminy:"
cried Stor;,.
Yes. indeed. : replied the as;onished
fisherman, ;,ad both heartily rejciccd i'll
their good tortune. Fifteen days later
Stola said to her husband: Il have been
thinking that we Were tco modest i'll
making cur wishes known. This cottage
is too small, and there is net L single
field Joined TO the garden should like
to have Il beautiful country residence.
"What folly cried her husband.

''Finally' said she enthusiastically
to her husband, here is Il burst of for
tune, here is power, here is happiness!
There is nothing more could wish "
''God be praised" " he feryently re-
piled.
A few moments later, with u grave
air, she took h i'm by tie hand, drawing
him into the cmbrasure Of a window
that she might talk to him unobse1ved,
and said to him, L am we'll satisfied
that I am queen, am contcntcd with

tranquility of my subjects, but some

ing. Hc must grant me this one addi-
tional favcr 1t will be the last.
The peaceful fisherman was stupcfied.
He could rot believe she spoke seriously.
But when she, IN Il resolute manner.
repeated her demand he declared he
would never take part in any such III
sanity
But, alas, the poo1. rlan had lot the
courage 70 resist the hcadstronS will OF
his comparison. After violent protcsta-
tions he again acquiesccd.
he Went il! fear and trembling to per-
form his strange mission This 1ilic the
tisl! regarded him coldly ;lnti SAID To him
in Il formidable Voice:

AS the fairy fish disappeared beneath
the water; li3" fisherman turned home
ward with bowed head to find his wife
dressed IN wretched rags and sitting
upon the doorsill of their old cabin, la
menting their lost wealth. tl.-Translated

NOT THE MALLORY'Ss CARGO.
PHILADELPHIA, March 20.--From
information received here to-day the
seizure of arms and ammunition We'd
nesday by the Spanish in Cuba is not
so important as the official dispatch
from Havana would indicate. The mu-
nitions seized were not those taken out
in the Mallory, but were from the
schooner ArkeTf. The Arkell was at
anchor at a place called Ell Verarado.
All the arms aboard her had been
landed save 145 cases of ammunition,
when the gunboat Caradad hove in

doned the schooner and hastily escaped
to the shore The Caradad seized the
Arkell and 145 cases of ammunition.
MORE ARMS FOR CUBA.
PHILADELPHIA, March 20.-Infor-
nation was received here to-day which
makes it probable that the steamer
Commodore has transferred her cargo
of arms and ammunition to the Ber-
muda Off Chincoteague, Va, yester-
day the Bermuda lay to while a steamer
which in all likelihood was the Com
modore, came alongside and trans
ferred a number of packages and heavy
cases to the fillbuster. 1t is also re-
ported that General De Soto, one of
the veterans of the ten years war, was
put aboard the Bermuda.

Negotiations Believed to be in Progress
to Settle the Matter.
WASHINGTON. March 20.-Senor
Andrade, the Venezuelan Minister, is
uninformed as to the progress of nego-
tiations favorable to his own country
in the boundary dispute, but since
President Cleveland's message TO Con-
gress, resulting in the high commission,
Venezuela is no longer inquisitive as
to the means pursued by the United
States to settle the matter, relying with
confidence upon the good intentions of
the United States.
simultaneously with the admission
in the House of Commons on Monday
last by Mr.. Curzon that negotiations
had been resumed which propably had
reference to the preliminary discus
sions of Embassador Bayard and Lord
Salisbury, full instructions reached the
British ambassador here, which are
understood to be of such scope as to
give him plenipotentiary powers to
reach an agreement with Secretary
Olney
Little doubt is expressed that Sir
Henry Stafford Northcote, who reached
here Sunday, will also be an active par
ticipant in the negotiations, to which
under ordinary circumstances the Vene
zuelan report would not be invited until
considerable advance had been made.
Beyond the fact that negotiations are
actually going on, which is now ad-
mtted by all the parties concerned. the
strlctest secrecy is maintained as to
any concessions made by either of the
interested parties.
