A Walking Fish.

A queer fish called the walking
goby' or the hopping fish," is found in
the Indian ocean, as we'll as along the
shores of West Africa. Crowds of these
curious creatures, resembling tadpoles
in their outlines, bask in the SUI on
a muddy shore and scamper off on be-
ing disturbed. Many of them keep the
ends Of their long tails dipped into
water, while they lie on the sun-heated
mud, or sit on the Mangrove roots, and
Prof. Haddon has suggested that there
may be an organ of respiration in the
endsof the tail, additional to the sim
liar organ in the gills. A more recent
investigator, DR.. Forbes of Liverpool,
thinks the fish are able to store a suf-
fcient quantity of water in their gills
TO maintain aquatic respiration during
their prolonged absences on the shore.

ALICE mircHsLL.s LIFE.
The Slayer OF Frcda Ward y Hard
Worker In n Tennessee Asylum.

Worker la n Tennessee Asylum.
IT. is said by one Of Alice Mitchell's
attendants in the insane asylum at
/. livar. Tenn. that she is one OF the
mos: useful women in the asylum;
that she works harder than any at
tcudant in the wards. She scrubs the
floors, washes the dishes and assists
in every way in keeping things in
order; that she shows the greatest
interest in the patients, especially
the old one To whom she is
tenderiy kind. She has never been
heard to call Freda Wards name or
speak of that horrible murder, which
from its cold- bloodedneSs has caused
the whole world to resound her name.
She occupies n cell just exactly like
those of other patients. without one
comfort more. bat she is allowed
to eat at the attendants table.
where every deiicacy is provided for
her by her family. She is n good mu-
stefan, and when she is not at work
passes her time by singing and play
ing. Her father and mother visit her
very often, and always take her out
driving. Each time she appears on
the streets of Bolivar the people seem
eager to catch a glimpse of her. She
has never shown any symptoms of in
sanity except in fits OF anger, which
are very seldom, but, said the attend
ant, there is no installing that wild
CLEAN of insanity at those times. She
is one of the most viOlent-tempercd
women in the world. and the attend
ants consider her dangerous outside
of the asylum. When asked how Of
ten she had seen her in these moods,
the hesitating reply was: t"Only
once" The attendant appeared to be
very fond ofher, and says she does
not believe she remembers anything
about the killing of Freda Ward.

Pagani, whose form was almost spec
trail, seemed e have his frail existence
suspended by a thread, which the
slightest shock might sever. The physi-
clans ordered solitude and absolute re-
pose, therefore he removed TO the villa
Lutetanea in the Faubourg POISSON
Mere. 1t was an excellent establish
ment and stood in a large park-like
garden. where the patient could ENJOY
either solitude or society at choice. A
great charm of the place was Lat every
n lived as he pleased; in the evening,
either retiring to the solitude OF his
apartment. or joining in the games,
music and conversation held in the
drawing-room. Pagani preferred pass
ing the evening il quietness and retire
ment. There was plenty of gossip
about him in the drawing-room and
three or four censorious cid women fell
on him tooth and nail.
Ladies'" began one, have you seen
this great musician? He salutes no one
and never speaks a word. He takes
his bowl of soup in an arbor in the
garden, and then hastens away ii any
one approaches. What IN oddly he
must be-"
That's part OF his malady," said an
other. People say that there is some
terrible mystery about his life; some
love story, l imagine"
"Not at air. added a third. "Pagani
is a miser; there's no mystery about
that. Do you remember the concert
which was organized in favor of the
families who suffered from the mum
dation of ST, Etienne? The great vio-
linist refused to take part in it be-
cause he would have to play gratui-
tously. Depend upon it, he fears that
were he to mingle in u society, he
might be asked for similar favors."
In the entire household Pagani never
exchanged a word with anyone except
Vicette, the housemaid who attended
him. She was q cheerful. innocent
country girl, whose prattle, when she
served his meals, amused him.
One morning Vicette presented her
self with a sad, dropping countenance,
and served breakfast without utteIing
a word. The musician noticed this
change in the young girl and ques-
toned her about it.
Whats the matter. my child? You
look sad. Your eyes are red; some
misfortune has befallen you, Vicette?"
80, yes, sir"
Would it be indiscreet to ask you
what it was?"
Pagani fixed his great black eyes on
the girls troubled countenance.
Come" he said. Il see how it is.
After having made you a thousand
promises he has quilted you, and you
no longer have any tidings of him"
"Ah, poor fellow! He has quilted
me certainly, but it was not his fault"
How is that?"

PIERRE, S. D., March 16.-Judge
Gaffy has sustained the demurrer set
up to the answer made by the Prohibi-
tionists in their effort to test the legal
ity Of the repeal of the prohibitory arti-
Gle of the constitution. The answer to
which the demurrer was sustained set
up that article "a is yet part of the
constitution, and liquor sold cannot be
collected for; that the question of re-
peal was not correctly submitted by the
legislature; that it was not correctly
placed on the ballot, and that 10000
voters did not express themselves on
the question. The demurrer states
none of the answer is a sufficient de-
Tense against the collection Of a liquor
bill, and this is sustained. This leaves
the Prohibitionists no nearer a settle
ment Of the legality of the manner Of
repeal Of the prohibitory question than
they were before they attempted to get
at it in the defense of a liquor bill suit.

stood to have been the treaty with
Nicaragua. Secretary Sherman has IN
der consideration the negotiating of an
other treaty, such as was negotiated
by Secretary Frelinyhuysen, which was
withdrawn at the beginning of Mr..
Cleveland's administration. Secretary
Sherman, when discussing the Rodrig-
uez letter against the old Nicaraguan
bill, indicated his desire to negotiate
a treaty on the old lines and supported
the stand taken in the letter The
probabilities are that, if a new position
is taken on the canal question, it will
be on the lines of the Frelinghuysen
agreement. Secretary Sherman's long
connection with the senate led him to
consult the senate before any definite
terms of agreement were made.

NAVAL PROMOTIONS.
Three Ranking Officers to Be Re-
tired in a Few Months.


WASHINGTON March ia num-
Der of important changes in the navy
will occur within the next few months,
in consequence Of the compulsory re-
tirement, on account Of age Of the three
ranking officers, viz: Rear Admiral
George Brown, commandment at the
Norfolk navy yard, who retires in June;
Rear Admiral J. G. Walker, chairman
of the lighthouse board who retires on
the goth inst, and Rear Admiral F. M
Ramsey, chief Of the bureau of naviga-
ton, who retireS early next month. The
names are given in the order of senior
ity. The three retirements will result
in the promotion to the grade of rear
admiral of Commodore Miller, COM
handing the navy yard at Boston;
Commodore Montgomery Sicard, COM
manding the navy yard at New York,
and Commodore Matthews, chief OF the
bureau Of yards and docks. The ex-
animation of these officers has just
been concluded and their names certi-
fled to the president for appointment to
the grade of admiral.
1t is expected that Capt. w. S. Schley.
now in command of the New York. who
has been ordered to this city for duty
as member Of the lighthouse board
in place of Rear Admiral Walker. re-
HeVed, will succeed to the chairman
ship Of the board vacated by that of
ficer, Notwithstanding he is junior in
rank to Gen. J. M. Wilson, corps OF
engineers, u. S. A., who is also a mem
Der of the board. While the latter might
be entitled to the Craftsmanship on
account Of his uperior rank, it is not
likely that he Will be a candidate for
the office for the reason that his oner-
GUS duties at the head Of the engineer
department Of the army would not
permit him to give it the attention de-
manded Of the incumbent. Although
there are three army and three naval
officers ON the board, the chairman
ship has always been regarded as prop
erly belonging to the navy. There is
considerably more uncertainty concern
ing the prospective assignments to the
vacancies at the head of the Norfolk
navy yard and the bureau of naviga-
ton, but it is expected that the last
named detail will be announced in a
few DAYS.
