ArrrMrlED TO KILL HIS WlrE

ATrrMr1ED TO KILL HIS WIFE,
CoIsid>i4oio excitement was Caused
throughout the city between ten and
eleven O'Clock this morning by a re-
port, which travelled like wild fire, to
the effect that Mr.. John Il. Greene, a
we'll known lawyer living on King
street, near Fsyette, had killed his
wife with Ratchet. The facts in the
case when ascertained, however, show
cd that the matter had been greatly
exaggerated, and that instead of hav-
ing been killed Mrs. Greene's wounds,
while serious, were in no wise dan
gerous. 1t seems that Mr.. Greene's
nervous system has beer uuder.a severe
strain for some time, so much 80 that at
times his gloomy rev los rendered
him capable of imagining the most alb
surd things. This morning his cogita-
tons caused him 10 suppose he was
about to fight p duel with his wife, and
that the conflict was inevitable, as
pistols had been ordered. With this
hsllucination in his head, he procured
Ratchet and seized his wife, who was
the only person in the room with him
at the time The terrified woman
screamed and endeavored to disarm her
husband, but she was but child in his
grasp, and in the scutlle she received
two cuts from the hatcnet-one on the
forehead aud another on the back of
the head Mrs. Greene'S screams had
in the meantime attracted the atten-
ion of neignuors, among whom was
Mr.. John Coleman, who ran into the
house and wrested the Ratchet from
Mr.. Greene's hand before he could
again use it. The injured lady was
subsequently, taken into neighbours
house and DR.. Jones was summoned.
Upon examining the wounds the doctor
found that Mrs. Greene had made a
fortunate escape, as her injuries were
not of dangerous nature. Her hus
Dand had 10 the meantime Quieted
down considerably, although he was
still possessed of the delusion that he
and mis- wife were destined to have
hostile meeting according to the code.
Lieutenant Smith, with Officers Spinks,
Hall and Deane, were soon on the
premises, aud in few minutes time
numbers of persons had assembled in
front of the house. Later Chief
Webster reached the scene and he
directed that Mr. Greene be taken in
custody until q commitment could he
prepared. Lieutenant SIN til sccordin,
placed him in buggy and conveyed
him 10 Jail, where he will be kept for
few days, or until be resumes his nor.
NAL condition. Mrs. Greene is
daughter of Mr.. Owen Carroll, of this
city, and the many friends of both
families deplore the sad affair.

THE "KAABA" AND THE HoLY
CARPEr.-The holy carpet"
which has Just been captured by
the Bedouins while on its way from
Cairo to the great mosque at
Mecca, is really a covering for the
"Kaaba," or "House Of the Sacred
Black Stone" that stands in the
courtyard OF the mosque. The
"Kaaba," which is Arabic for cube
house, is an oblong, massive struc-
ture built OF fine gray granite, with
a fiat root, and has the appearance
of a perfect cube; hence its name.
The only door is on the north side;
/. is about seven feet from the
ground and is coated with silver.
The Moslems believe that the orig
lnal kaaba was built in heaven two
thousand wears before the creation
Of the world, and that at the com
mand Of the Almighty, angels
walked around it in alteration.
Furthermore, they said that Adam
built the first kaaba on earth, on
its present site, directly under the
one in heaven. His sons repaired
it, and Abraham rebuilt It alter the
Deluge. He needed a stone to FIX
in the corner, so he sent Ishmael
out for one. The lad met the Angel
Gabriel, who gave him the famous
"black stone" which Moslems be-
lieve was once white but has be-
come black on account OF human
sins. Long before the time OF
Mahomet, the Kaaba was a place
of worship for the idolatrous
Arabs, and in it they had no less
than three hundred and sixty idols.
one for each day Of the Arabian
year. The Arabs are naturally a
most superstitious race, and when
Mahomet found, after destroying
the idols, that the custom of wor-
shipping and making pilgrimages
was not likely to cease, like a crafty
man he grated his worship on TO
his own ism" and now the pIous
Mussulmans still continue TO make
pilgrimages from all parts OF the
world to the shrine OF the old
Arabs. The "holv carpet is the
covering Of the Kaaba and is re-
newed annually, and is made at the
expense of the Egyptian Govern
ment, and is forwarded to them
with,great ceremonies. This year,
while being sent from Cairo TO the
great mosque at Mecca, it was
captured by the Bedouins, who are
holding it for a ransom Of 5000
dolls. It is made OF eight pieces
and the material is ofcourse, black
damask.

EXTENSIVE HATs.-Men's hats
are not as a rule expensive, even
when thsy take the unwonted
shape of a topper made of straw,
like that which Mr.. Rothschild
lately startled the House of Com
mons by wearing on a hot night.
The most expensive hat in the
world is undoubtedly one which
was presented to General Grant
while he was in Mexico in 1882.
1t cost $500 in gold. and is now to
be seen IN the National Museum
at Washington, and is the finest
specimen OF a Mexican sombrero
ever made. Perhaps the next
most expensive hat to that was one
which was sent to Mr.. William II.
Seward when he was Secretary OF
State in President Lincoln's Cabi.
net. 1t was OF the variety known
as Panama, and his South AmerI-
can admirers who sent it to him
paid b7oO for il. At one time
Panama hats frequently cost 6Ioo
but these are no longer made, and
cannot, therefore, be bought. Per-
haps the most expensive hat OF this
sort which has been made for many
years was one sold last year to
banker, who paid 6aa pounds tor
it. Hats as fine as these are COM
monty worn by the rich men in
South America, but ordinary NOR
tails have to be content with speci-
mems which cost at the most only
two or three pounds, Still, these
are very fine, and are practically
everlasting, for they can be cleaned
again and again. 1t is curious
that they are called Panama hats,
for they do not come from there.
They derive their name from the
fact that that city was at one time
the greatest market for them. The
finest are obtained at Payta, Peru,
and GuaYsquil. They are made OF
the fibre Of the pineapple plant, are
as soft as silk, and so plia9le that
they can easily be folded up and
carried in the pocket. Excellent
are also made BY the
natives Of Cuba.-HatferS' Gag

THE FIRST GAME OF DOMINoEs.
It IS not everybody who plays who
knows the origin of the game Of
dominoes. Two monks who had
been committed to a lengthy seclu-
sion contrived TO beguile the
dreary hours OF their confinement
without breaking the rule Of sill
ence by showing each other small
fiat stones marked with black dots.
By a preconcerted arrangement
the winner would inform the other
player OF his victory by repeating
in an undertone the first line Of the
vesper prayer. In process OF time
the two monks managed to com
plete the set Of stones and to per.
iect the rules Of the game; so that,
when their terms OF Imprisonment
had expired, the game was so in
teresting that it was generally
adopted bv all the inmates Of mon
astery as a lawful pastime. 1t soon
became popular throughout Italy;
and the first line Of the Vespers was
reduced to the single word "dom-
ino," by which name the game has
been known ever since.
