Welbey was warned by his escort before he passed it's limits that he would become the prey of de. mons. lie found it most winsonls country, full of luxuriant vegetation and picturesque streams. The first omen of danger perceived by Capt. Welbey was the sudden madness of one of his men. This unfortunate rushed into camp a raving maniac. Other cases of an equally terrible and dan. gerous sort soon followed. The Al ricans who formed Capt. Welbeys es- eort assured him that devils took hold of all who were watched by the Wala- mo inhabitants while they ate. H. himself, skeptieal regarding these amazing Statements, partook of meal before many Walamoans, who ob served him all the while, he declares

Must Not Speak Too Freely.
 The editor of a small provincial pa' per in Austria was in great difficulty to find fit subject for his leading article. having been too intent upon other business or upon pleasure to provide one The last moment had come and the editor WAS in despair. He tortured his brain in vain, when he suddenly was inspired by a happy thought and dashed off the lines: After carefully perusing the leading article written for the present number by one of the ablest of our contributors, we have ar rived at the conclusion that it may be misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack upon the gov ernment, We ourselves consider 1t to be perfectly innocent, but, as we arc unwilling, for our readers sake, as we'll as for our own, to have our news- paper confscated, we have very un- willingly, though, as we think, pru- dertly, resolved to withdraw the arti- eIe. This must serve as the apology to our readers for the blank space in our present issue.' The journal was pub- ished in the evening, and the sly ed. itor, after performing th!s little piece of st-atagem, left the office in higk humor. As soon as he arrived in the office next morning a clerk came up to hsm, with a doleful expression, and said, Herr Redaktor, the paper is confscated by the police!" For wha; reason?" asked the astonished editor. "Tor malicious ridicuie of the institu- tions of the Austrian empire by the omission of the leading article" ra- plfed the man.-New Yorf Press.

The protest fig remarks were taken amiss by thA Woman's husband, fight followed and then an arrest of tile pugnacious hus- band. It is not matter of any con. sequence whether lie or tbe other man was at fault for the serimmage; what IS at least interesting is the fact that the magistrate before whom the case has a right to enter railway carriage which is already full Those who take tickets at the starting point, be said, are entitled to seats snd tickets taken at intermediate sta- tians are subject to there being room for the holders. If the company issues tickets ill excess of the number of seats provided tic holders may bring an ac. ton for damages, wait for the next train or demand the return of their money. Persons in a carriage which Is full have legal as we'll as moral right to prevent others from en- deavor.--g to enter it and the sooner the pdblic understands this the bet ter, as no one has right to incon. venience passengers already in their places.
