A VILE PLOT I ncarthed by Indian Guard at Wallace Winter Quarters. What is supposed to be a plot Io destroy the winter quarters of the Wallace shows, at Peru by tire, has just been un'arlbed by John Quince. an Indian, who was recently employed at the winter quarters as a watchman. A few nights ago about two o’clock, while Quince was making the rounds of the place, be discovered a men Crouching alongside the big frame horse barn at the north end of the winter quarters lot and when he ordered the ft How to halt or run the risk of being Billed, the crouching form made a dash for the cornfield which expends from the winter quarters to the Wabash river. Quince was not alow alout whip ping out his revolver and opening fire on the fellow, who scrambled over the fence and disappeared. Quince went to where the man went over the fence and there he found two bullets imbedded in the boards and with one was a piece of brown cloth, indicating that the intruder had had a narrow escape from being wounded. The next morning after the shooting Quince tracked the man to the Wabash river, where it appeared as if the fallow did not stop for the water and had gone on through to the north side. It will be reroemberd that one of the large barns was destroyed several weeks ago. Additional Locals Mrs. Carlus returned to Mon roe. after shopping in the city.

A NATURAL DIKE. Th. Volraalr t'urmatlna Alona lowrw of Full River. Nature I* full of strange frvnk*. and her agent*- rains, storms, wiuds uud even dust—produce results that might oftvu be mistaken for the works of human bands, though frequently on • colossal scale. Vulcanic activities are mighty factors. and through them some wonderful phenomena are wrought. One of these muy be seen along the course of Fail river. In northern California. This stream is of considerable sixe, and the work of nature’s gigantic forces may be seen between the upper uud lower cascade* of the river. It is what might properly be called a "volcanic dike." This dike extends for some distance along Fall river, near Its banks and nearly parallel to the course. It bear* close resemblance to a roughly constructed wall. The top of this dike is very ragged and the height of varying altitude*. In some place* It is twenty feet high and several feet in thickness, and again may be easily clambered over. The rock of which tills wall of nature Is composed is of a very porous character, bearing some resemblance to pumice stone, tbougli much more solid and of greater specific gravity. That entire region l» of volcanic origin and evidently was once the scene of great eruptive activity. Scoria and lava abound, though the face of the country la now thickly clad with timber and brush The dike begins and ends abruptly. The wall of the dike Is evidently the result of volcanic forces, and has no doubt stood for many centuries. It stands dear from clinging rock*. has a narrow foundation, with vertical walls, and is very straight. The mystery I* what forces of nature cou! 1 have piled up or left standing tills rock formation so uniform. Till* dike has puzzled not a few geologists who have visited and examined It—American Inventor. A FIERCE MERMAN. Brand of Marine Monster Virginia Sported In IdTU. B. H. Blackwell of oxford has pub Hated a careful reprint of • Au Account of Virginia; Its Sltaatk u, Temperature. Production*, Inhabitant* and Their Manner of Planting and Order Ing Tobacco.” it is. in brief, a pamphlet communicated to the Royal society in I'l7o by one Thomas Glover "an ingenious Fbirurgion.” who bad lived for some years in th? province. Mr Glover would seem to Lave reckoned the sea »en>ent among the inhabitants of the colony to judge from th* miuute accuracy of the following description: "A most prodigious Creature, much resembling a man. only somewhat lar ger. standing right up in the water with his bead, neck, shoulders, breast and wast. to the cutdta of his arm*, above water; his skin wa* tawny, much like that of an Indian; the figure of hu head was pyramidal, and slick, without hair, his eyes large and black, and so were hl* eyebrow*; bi* mouth very wide, with a broad, black streak on the upper lip, which turned upward at each end like moustacboes; bi* countenance was grim and terrible: bls neck, shoulders, arms, breast and wast were like unto the neck, arm*, shoulders, breast and wast of a man; bi* bands, if he had any. were under water. He seemed to stand with bis eye* fixed on me for some time, and afterward dived down, and a little after riseth at somewhat a farther distance and turned bls bead toward me again, and then immediately falletb a little under water and swimmetb away so near the top of the water that I could discern him throw out bls arms and gather them in as a man doth when be swimmeth. At last he shoots with his bead downward, by which means be cast tayl above the water, which exactly resemble 1 the tayl of a fish, with a broad sane at the end of it.” Mo Doubt of Ilia lloneaty. Deputy Sheriff and Chief of Police Alf Church of Woonsocket was known In his day as a man who was straightforward and blunt in all hi* dealings. One day a grocer went to Alf for Information ab>ut a certain Joe White, who had applied for credit and a book at bis store, and the following dialogue ensue I: "Good morning, Mr. Church." “Mornin’.” "Do you know Joe White?” ”Ves.” "What kind of a feller I* he?" “Putty fair.” "I- be honest?" “Honest? I should say so. Been arrested twice for stealin’ and acquitted both time*.” Beat Sot Always Beat. It Is a mistake to have the l»est. The rennins are two—one is ttjat directly you have the beat of anything you have closed an avenue to enjoyment, the enjoyment of waiting for a wish to be realized; the other Is that one becomes sorry for those ;>erson* whom one sees stumbling along with the Inferior article.—E. V. Lucas. Trade Snperatltlnns. Dressmakers will not “fit" with black pins, and regard it as unlucky to tack with green cotton. Milliners regard ns of happy augury the drop of blood falling on a hat from a pricked finger.—London Notes and Queries. The Hair Restorers. Dollie—He promised to send back my lock of hair, but be hasn't don* it yet. Mollie—That’s the way with these hair restorers—all promise and no performance.

SECRETS OF THE HAND. Thins* That Are Hririded to <*• Touch of the HI I nd. The handshake of some people makes you think of accident and sudden death. Contrast thia 111 boding hand with the quick, skillful quiet hand of a nurse whom 1 remember with affection because »Le took the best care of my teacher. I have clasped the hands of some rich people that spin not and toil not and yet are not beautiful. Beneath their soft, smooth roundness what a chaos of undeveloped character! Ali th!* is mv private science of palmistry, and inion i tell your fottune it is by no mysterious intuition or gypsy witchcraft, but by natural, explicable recognition of the embossed character In your band. No* only !» the hand as easy to rvi-ognlze a* th* face, but It reveals its secret* mor* openly and unconsciously. People con trol their countenances, but the hand is under no such restraint. It relaxes and becomes listless when the spirit is low and dejected, the muscles tighten when the mind is excited or the heart glad. *ud permanent qualities stand written on It all the time. As there are many beauti** of the face, so ti:e beauti** of the hand are many. To ich ha* its ecstasies. Th" bands of people of strong individuality and sensitiveness are wonderfully mobile. In a glance of tteir fiuzer tips they express many shades of thought Now and again I touch a fine, graceful. supple wristeii band which spell* with the same beauty and distinction that you must see in the handwriting of svme highly cultivated people. I wish you could see bow prettily little children spell In my hand. They ar* wild flowers of humanity and their finger motions wild flowers of speech.— Helen Keller in Century. Vlrtne Which Command. Love. Should some women need encourage ment they may learn with interest that men are rather apt to be vain and that it is enough sometimes to be a good listener in order to tie a most successful hostess. The following typical anecdote proves this. Gomberviile, the old courtier, somewhat of a poet. too. was known to be paying a deal of attention to a certain lady of th* hotel de Rambouillet. One day some one had this conversation with him: "You are the ’cavalier servant’ of Madam ?” "Yes. certainly.” "Do you love her?" “With the most devoted respect in my heart." “Why? She is not beautiful.” “No." “She 1* not young." "No." "She is not graceful." “Not very." “She is not witty.” "No. not particularly." "Well. then, what is it?" “She can listen admirably ”—Professor Albert Sehins in Lippincott's Magazine. Anecdote, of Qntnn. James Quinn, a noted actor of Garrick’s time, loved to dine, and was often fuddled in consequence when he went on the stage. Once while playing with Peg Woffington, who was acting Sylvia, bis daughter, in "The Recruiting Officer.” instead of asking her. "Sylvia, bow old were you when your mother died?" be said “married.” Sylvia laughed, and being out of her cue, could only stammer, "What, sir?” "Pshaw,” cried the more confused Quinn, "I mean, how old were you when your mother was horn?” The body of Duke Humphrey was returned from Egypt embalmed In the rarest wine and the richest spices. Upon seeing this Quinn soliloquized as follows: Oh. pingv* on Eg .-pt's art*. I say! Embalm the d<a l! On ««n»ele»» clay Rich wine* and spices waste! Like sturgeon or like brawn eholl I Found in a precious pickle lie, Which I enn never taste? Let me embalm this flesh of mine With turtle fat and Bordeaux wine And spoil the Egyptian trade!
