A Northumberland Epitaph.

1t is said that after reading some OF
the inscriptions in "a churchyard little
girl asked her mother where the naughty
people were buried, and certainly on
ton. bstones it is the mere exception that
proves the rule to find such mixture OF
faint praise and frank censure as in the
following epitaph, reputed to be found
in Northumberland

to the mind of the emperor the oath which
he had taken when as a young man he
joined the C~arbona1 conspiracy to en-
deavor to secure the freedom Of Italy The
object of the triangular form of the weap-
on was that the lips of the wound made
thereby should close OF their oN1i accord,
and the bleeding be entirely internal, and
therefore beyond the powers Of the sur
geons to arrest.
Stambulof, the dictator of Bulgaria,

the very windows of tho palace OF Prince
Ferdinand, who owed to him his throne,
and who has left his assassins UNPUBLISHED

ma, Bourbon father of the present lex-
Duke of Parma, was murdered with dag
gers by assassins, who effected their escape
10 this country, one of them dying in .
Philadelphia hospital only a few years
ago. The predecessorof the present Prince
of Montenegro, Prince Daniel, and Lord
Frederick Cayendish, nephew of Mr.
Gladstone, brother Of the Duke of Devon
shire and Irish secretary, succumbed to
the knife, as did also tho Duo de Berri,
heir to the French throne, and father OF
that French king who as a child reigned
for a few hours under the name of Henry
v and was known throughout the re-
mainder Of his life as tho Count of Cham
bord. Nor should | omit in this list the
late Earl of Mayo, who was stabbed by q
natiye convict in the Andalnan islands
while viceroy Of India. Many more in
stances could be cited to show how far
more dangerous in the hands Of the assas-
sin is the knife than either pistol, rife or
even bomb. And once tho police, who
are as a rule selected from the less highly
educated classes, get this fact into their
somewhat obtuse heads crimes such as
shat perpetrated at Geneva upon Empress
Elizabeth of Austria will be less frequent
and rendered practically impossible.
There is 10 doubt whatsoever that in
order to deal with these anarchists and
foes to society, who constitute the chief
danger to the rulers of the world and who
furnish nearly all the successful or unsuc-
cessful assassins of tho latter, an entirely
different species of police force from that
now in existence is needed. The anarchists

Rudolph G. Slatin, a young Austrian
officer in the Egyptian army, entered tho
Sudan 10 years ago with a bright, promis-
ing military career before aim. Made gov
ernor Of Darfur, he made his weight felt
rapidly in that pioneer movement That
his government failed to support him, as
it failed to support Gordon, was not his
fault. He was not strong enough to copo
single handed with the great problems pre-
sented to him, and, like Gordon, he sue
cuinbed to the inevitable. That death did
net release him from the horrors Of the
region and the times fate alone decreed.
TO his ready wit he owed his salvation,
his ultimate escape from the fortunes
heapcd upon him. To his ready wit Eng
land owes her success at the Sudan today,
for without his assistance her efforts
might have been as sadly instructed as
they were once before, if indeed she had
made the effort at all.
Slatin Pasha fell before the fury Of the
Mahdist revolt. Darfur fell two years
before Khartum. To the fact that he
subscribed to the Mahdist creed and be-
came, or pretended to become, one of them
he owes his life. AS it was, he became a
prisoner and later a slave. During the
frightful days ia which the fanatics be-
siegod Khartum he was confined a few
miles away in Omdurman. 1t was then
he witnessed its fall, and there he heard
of the fate Of Gordon and his followers.
Though from a distance he viewed the
spectacle, its bloody memory will never be
erased from his mind.

BEST WOOD FOR CIGAR BOXES.
Dealers Insist Upon Having Spanish
Cedar Grown in Cuba.

There are something like $4,000, 900
cigar boxes used i'm the United states
annually, and about nine-tenths of that
number are made in this city, where
the trade rivals the clothing industry
in point of capitaS invested and the
number of people employed said
leading cigar manufactures. THE ma
terial out OF which our best boxes are
made comes principally from Cubn. and
is known as Spanish cedar The recent
war with Spain has shortened the sup
ply and increased the price OF the ar
ticle to such an extent that many box
makers whose stock of cedar was small

to use "A cheaper and less desirable

Attempts made to use cedar grown
in the United States for cigar boxes
have not been very successful. The
Florida and South American cedar
contains a peculiar gum that ineits
when the wood is exposed TO the heat
OF a store or house. and thus the labels
and sometimes the cigars in the box
are spoiled. OF course the smokers of
cheaper brands of cigars are less par
