Young Woman W~antonly Assaults d

great deal of excitement in front of the
Lyric Theatre in Hoboken last night by
smuggling a youth h she said had in

and was watched by a crowd of people
who were just leaving the theatre after
the last act. Altogether three parties
figured in the scrap" The third per-
son was John Gilday, a fireman connect
ed with No. 2 Engine. Th youth whom
the pugilistic young woman was thrash
ing was George Vatcky, son of Henry
Vatcky, a dead animal contractor Of
Union Hill. The name Of the woman
could not be learned.
The story of how the fight came about
is best told in young vatcky's own words
as foIlows:-"I was at the theatre and sat
about the middle of the balcony. saw
this woman standing in the rear talking
to a policeman. I don't know the girl
and never spoke one word to her. When
the show was over I hurried u to get
ahead of the rush. The girl came out
behind me-. We reached the sidewalk
about the same time. While I stood there
in the crowd / heard some one holler.

that the girl had SAILED in to do me. She
made a biff at me again, but ducked
and fell down. I was thunderstruck for
a moment and thought the girl was crazy.
1t angered me to see her soak me, but
I dfn't strike back because she was a
woman.
''As soon as / got on my feet again, a
man who I afterwards learned was Gill

CHARM FOR wAooPlNe COUGH.
Curious superstitions That Prevail
I'm Some Parts of Ireland.

Curious SuperstitiOns That Preva
I'm Some Parts of Ireland.
w. r. Fanu, a writer on some OF the
phases of Irish life, tells of two ways
in which the simple ~peasantry of that
country treat the whooping cough,
which is generally known among them
rs chin cough. One is this: If anyone
should be e riding on a piebald horse
the father or mother OF the person af-
fected runs after him, crying: you
hat ride the piebald horse, what's good
for the chin cough?" Whatever the
rider suggests is procured, and given
to the sufferer. This remedy is con,
sidered u very ure cure by the peas
antry, but is difficult to procure, as a
man riding a piebald horse is not met
with every day.
The other mode of curing the disease
is not considered SO certain, but can
more easily be procured, that is, pass
ing the child three times over and under
q donkey. Some donkeys are better
than others. remember, saysa Belfast
correspondent of the Lancet, a famous
one in the southwestern part of County
Down, in which the rustics had great
faith, and LIE Fanu tells of one in Coun-
ty Cork so famous for curative powers
that the owner, Ned Sullivan supported
himself and a large family on what this
remarkable donkey earned for him.
This man used to Pernmbulate the city
of Cork, and the surrounding neighbor-
hood with his donkey, crying out: "WiIl
anyone come under my donkey for the
chin cough?'
Two other charms which l have
known to be used in County Down for
this disease-and it is curious tina
whooPing coughs and erysipelas (the
rose, as the Irish peasants often call it)
are affections most treated by charms
are the administration to the patient
of two kinds of foods (solid and liquid)
obtained from two first cousins who are
married, and soup made from the tails
of mice. Staying, several years ago,
with an uncle and aunt, who were full
cousins, l was amused at the parents
of children with the whooping cough
coming to them for two different arti-
cles of food for their sick children

WAYLAlD AND KILLED.
Capt. Strong Shot From Ambush Seven
Times, Twice Through the Heart.

Lexington, Ky, May 9.-The famous
Captain William Strong, who has been
engaged in mountain wars ever since
he was mustered out of the federal
army in 1865, was assassinated this
morning near his home in Breathitt
county. The assassins had laid IN
wait for him several days at IL ''blind"
built near the roadside, behind which
were found scraps of provisions. He
was wounded in seven places, and
death must have been instantaneous,
as two bullets passed through his
heart.
Captain Strong was ~ years old,
but still robust and active and AS full
of fight as he was when he led a COM
pany of m-ountaIneers IN General Frank
Wnolford's intrepid cavalry through
the war. Shortly after the war closed

county, IN the killing of forty-five
men.
After Amos left the Captain enjoyed
an era of peace. When the Kuklux

three men were killed.
Several weeks ago Captain Strong
and Ed Callahan were cited to appear
before Judge Day, in Jackson, and in
the presence of the Judge they made
peace, shook hands and agreed to fight
no more.

Marco PoIO's of Them Reads
Like One of SInhad'a Tales.


1t is in this kingdom hat diamonds
are got; and L will tell you how. There
are certain lofty mountains in those
parts; and when the winter rains fall,
which are very heavy, the waters come
roaring down the mountains in great
torrents. When the rains are over, and
the waters from the mountains have
ceased to flow, they search the beds
of the torrents and find plenty of dia-
monds. In summer also there are plen-
ty to be found in the mountains, but
the heat of the sun is so great that it
is scarcely possible to go thither, nor
is there then a drop of water to be
found. Moreover, in those mountains
great serpents are rife to n marvellous
degree, besides other vermin, I'M this
owing to the great heat. The serpents
are also the most in exist
ence, so that anyone going there runs
fearful peril; for many have been de
stroyed by these evil reptiles.
Now among these mountains there
are certain great and deep valleys, to
the bottom of which there is no ac-
cess. Wherefore the men who go in
search of the diamonds take with them
pieces of flesh, as lean as they can get,
and these they cast into the bottom of
the valley. Now there are numbers of
white eagles that haunt these noun
tains and feed upon the serpents. When
the eagles see the meat thrown down,
they pounce upon it, and carry it up
some rocky hilltop, where they begin
to rend it. But there are men on the
watch. and as soon as they see that
the eagles have settled, they raise a
loud shouting to drive them away.
And when the eagles are thus fright
ened away the men recover the pieces
of meat, and find them full of diamonds
which have stuck to the meat down.
in the bottom. For the abundance of
diamonds down there in the depths of,
the valley is astonishing, but nobody
can get down; and if one could, it would
be only to be at once devoured by the
seTpents which are so rife there.
There is another way of getting the
diamonds. The people GO to the nests
of those white eagles, of which there
are many, Inc find plenty of diamonds
which the birds nave carried off with
the meat that was cast into the valleys.
And when the eagles themselves are
taken diamonds are found in their
stomachs.
So now I have told you three different
ways in which these stones are found.
No other country but this kingdom of
Mutfli produces them, but there they
are found both abundantly and of large
size. Those that are brought to our
part of the world are only the refuse,
as 1t were, of the finer and larger
stones. For the flower of the diamonds
and other large gems. as well as the
largest pearls, are all carried to the
great khan and other kings and princes
of hose regions; in truth, they pos
sess all the great treasures of h world.

GERMAN COURT BALLS.
The Waltz In still Danced mt til
Court of StuttEart.

The waItz Is StiH Danced mt the
Court of Stuttgart.
A few years ago the minuet and the
gavotte were. the special dances of the
Berlin court, the kaiser himself having
taken a special fancy to them. Some
how they did not find much favor in so
ciety, IS young people prefer waltzing,
and, after all, the old-fashioned dances,
like a good many ~old-fashioned habits,
are all very we'll when the actors are
dressed in the clothes of the period and
resemble in mode of thought and car
rage of body their great-grandparents.
But few young people are TX their
forefathers. There was some reason for
the introduction of a fanciful and pic
turesque dance at the grand festivals of
the imperial court, especially as very
special rules prevailed there. 1t is well
strongly objected to waltzing, and so
does the court of Berlin. The conse-
quence is that a kind of gallop was in
vented for Berlin-a two-timed move
ment, danced to the music of the waltz,
but moi at all resembling the old deux-
temps waltz. In Mecklenburg the waltz
is never danced at all at court, the rea-
son for this being, as it is said, that the
Grand Duchess Marie does not like dane
ing. Moreover, almost everywhere at
German courts the slow waltz was
looked down upon as bad style. Good
style depends upon the leaders of fash
ion, and so the slow waltz has been pro-
nounced as the correct kind to be
danced at the court of Stuttgart this
winter. Both the queen and her step
daughter are very fond of waltzing;
her majesty has ordered hat the waltz
is to be danced slowly at the court balls
now, as is the custom in Vienna.-Lon-
don Telegraph.
