THE GALLANT TWENTY-SIx.

Right bold we stand gallant band,
Full six-and-twenty strong,
And watch we've kept, nor ever slept,
These many ages long
Who enters Learning's broad domain
Must first our joint permission gain.
The prince and boor, the rich and poor,
Must on our favor wait.
Nor fiattering smiles nor cunning wiles,
Will open wide the gate
Who would these sentinels pass by
Must with our ancient laws comply.
The key we hold that can unfold
The brightest gems of earth,
And each young mind that seeks will find
Rich treasures spring to birth.
If first to us they bend the knee.

Yon famous sage, bent DER page
OF cabalistic lore, -
Came by this way in childhood's day
In tribulation sore,
And first his brilliant course begun
By wrestling with us, one by one.
The statesman grave the warrior brave,
The poet and the seer,
And they who've brought by printed
thought
To man smile or tear,
Paid due respect to Learnng's Guard
Before they reaped the worlds reward.
A countless throng still press along
The same well-beaten road,
For Learning hath no royal path
That leads to her abode
No highway has she opened yet
That goes not by the Alphabet!

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
Many Useful Lessons May BE Learned

One of the most admired of Amer

er less than eight. | eat regularly
and heartily and avoid everything
that would be apt to give me indi-
gestion. Indigestion is a powerful
foe to beauty, a greater foe than age,
as great even as worry. l walk every
day, rain or shine, and | wear a cord
ed corset waist and stout fiat-heeled
boots. l try not to worry no matter
what happens and l never tire my
self unnecessarily. My method is so
very simple few women would care
to try it. 1t has no balms or diets,
and l don't even go in for fancy baths.
A warm bath at night and a cold bath
in the morning are good enough for
me. On Sundays l don't have to go
to the theater, but | don't devote it
to lolling or receiving visitors. l have
my usual amount of exercise and then
devote most of the day TO manicure
and hairdresser. When ones hair is
five feet long and very thick it is not
an easy task to have it shampooed.
HOW do keep the same weight all
the time? Why, by vigilance and de-
termination. If l gain pound 1 i'm

ANIMAL BAROMETERS.
Actions of Sheep, Dogs, Horses and
Oxen Indicate the Approach of
storms and Rains.

Shepherds and others who spend
much time in the open air say that we
may always know when it will rain
by watching the ways of animals.
Thus. if donkeys bray more often
than usual, or if they hang their ears
downward and forward and rub
against walls, rain will come ON.
When cats sneeze and when, also. they
give up chasing their tails, look out
for rain.
1t will be rainy if the dog eats ,,rass
or is drowsy and stupid. Expect rain
when sheep turn their backs to the
wind and when peacocks squawk
grea: deal and when pigs carry straw
to their sites, or are very restless and
given to much granting, and when the
mole throws up plenty of soil.
Rain will come when horses stretch
out their necks and sniff the air. In
districts where bats are found it will
rain if they fly into the house or cry
much.
And should oxen lick their fore feet
or turn up their nostrils and sniff the
air or lie on their right sides we mar
count confidently upon wet weather.

ten o'clock at night. II you do you
will find Chinatown asleep. First of
all, you must know that the residents
of this little city within the greater
city represent the sporting Cinnamon
of New York. They are the merchants,
many of whom, although living in
dngy Easements, are the great impor-
tiers OF opium and silk, and are
wealthy enough to occupy mansions
on Fifth avenue; the gamblers who
win and lose fortunes with a nom
chalance that excites the envy of their
white brother gamesters further up
town; the bunco men and the members
of the murderous secret societies.
These are the people who will brush
against you as you wend your way
through the alley-like thoroughfares
You will find them crowdng in groups
of four or five in the middle of the road

which are only three feet wide, and are
reserved as passageways to the shops.
You will hear them talking in jargon
that CRATES upon the ears for the rea-
son of its unharmonious discords of
gutteral sounds. Uncommunicative as
they are to the foreigners, among
themselves they are a babbling flock of
magpies. Ten o'clock at night is the
hour when most of them arise. Mid
night is their time of greatest activity.

NEGRO LYNCHED;
He Was Strung Up TO a Tree by Mob
in MARYLAND.

BELAIR, MD, March 26.-Lewis Har-
ris (colored), who was arrested here last
night for committing a feioniouS assault
on Miss Annie McIlvaine, a recluse, was
iynched tonight.
Sheriff Kinart and his deputy fought to
protect their prisoner, and fired into the
mob. wounding two Of them, but We're
overpoWered.
The mob stormed the Jail, and, burst
ing open the doors. dragged the negro
outside, and to "a convenient poplar tree,
where he was hanged.
Miss CMcIlvaine was present with
revolver in her hand. and urged the mob
on to summary vengeance.
Harris crime was a doubly atrocious
one, because Of the age of his victim, and
the circumstances under which he
attacked her. She lived as a recluse,
near the railway station here. Early
Saturday morning she was reused by
knock at her door, and opened it at the
request of Harris, who pleaded that he
was crazed with toothacne, and needed
medicine.
When Miss NIcIlvainc, in compassion,
opened the door to alleviate his pain,
she was attacked. She is nearly sixty
years old.
From the time that Harris was dragged
from his cell until he was strung up he
is said to have spoken but one sentence.
That was: eff 7 did it, men, I was
drunk when did it"
1t had been expected that an attempt
would be made to hang Harris yester-
day, when he was to have been brought
up for "a hearing, but this was postponed
until to-day, and everything seemed so
quiet last night that the suspicious of
the sheriff were allayed, but he con-
tinued to keep a close watch. Shortly
before midnight it was announced that
a mob was on its way from Aberdeen, a
neighboring village, and 4 general move
ment toward the Jail took place. A flu
silade of shots were exchanged between
the sheriff and his deputies on the one
hand, and the mob on the other, result
ing in the wounding of Robert L. Bull,
of this place, and one of the crowd from
Aberdeen. whose name could not be
learned. The jail-door was finally fore
ed and Harris was taken out.
The mob hustled him to neighbour
ing door-yard, in which stood a large
poplar tree, and, placing moose around
his neck. flung the other end of the
rope over q limb. AS he was hoisted
from the ground the limb upon which the
unfortunate wretch was suspended snap
ped short and Harris fell to ths ground.
He was lifted up again, moaning and
grooming, and quickly hanged second

into the body. the loose end of the rope
was tied to a gate post, and the corpse
left hanging until this morning. when 1t
