In his last illness Mr. lown6hend was attended by his brother, who is health officer in the District of Columbia. Mrs. Townshend and the two children of the deceased were in attendance at the death bed. Tho details of tho funeralhave not jet been decided upon, but it is i thought that the remains will bo interred ..inr the congressional cemetery, where his ,', mother is buried. i The news of the death of Representative Townshend reached tho Capitol shortly after his decease, and tho Sergeant-at-anns I immediately proceeded to the lliggs House, . to assist in making arrangements for tho 4 f nnerr.l. The flags in the Senate and Ilouse ; wings were displayed at half-mast out of respect to his memory. Tho death of Mr. .

THE REGENT RIOTS IX CHINA

They TYerc Precipitated by a Trivial Affray in One of the Public Streets, And as a Result Much Property Was Destroyed, the Town of Chinkiang Reduced to Ruins, and Foreigners Flaced in Peril Formal Promulgation of the Decree Permitting D'Aumale to Return to France. Facts Concerning That Alleged Brewery Syndicate Bismarck Has Arranged Matters Connected with Milan's Abdication. TIIK CII1NKIANG RIOTS. They Began with a Trilling Street Row The Town Reduced to Ruins. San Francisco, March 9. The steamship Belgic, which arrived here this morning from Hong Kougand Yokohama, brings the first detailed advices of the recent antiKuropean riots at Chinkiang. Chinkiang is a ruin. It has had many vicissitudes from the time when the first foreign residents lived in junks cn the north shore of Yangtze. By and by a concession was laid out, houses were built and the north shore abandoned, much of the land there being washed away by the river. Gradually it became a thriving cominunit3 with the belief that it would become the terminus of tho Peking railway and would supplant Shanghai. The trouble began, it is claimed, in a street row in which a Chinaman was knocked down by a policeman. This excited the mob, and their first act was to destroy the police station. Then thev made for the British consulate, where a Chinso inspector, who has not since been wen, is believed to have taken refuge. On the way they fired three foreign nouses. The Chinese general in command sent 3U0 men to protect the consulate. As soon as tho mob appeared the soldiers capitulated; some lied and others joined the mob. The consul's wife fled barefoot with her children from the back door of the consulate, while the mob, aided by the soldiers, sacked and burned everything. The missionaries' houses and a chapel nearly shared the same fate. The British consul himself was twice in imminent danger of death. The American consulate was looted and more houses were burned. The residents took refuge on hulks and the mob tried to follow them, but the connecting bridges were raised. The Viceroy telegraphed to the British consul that he was 6euding 2,000 soldiers to restore order. 1 he riot broke out again on Wednesday afternoon. When General Kennedy reached Chinkiang, he had the American nag raised at the United States consulate. The British ship Mntino arrived on Thursday and tired a salute to the British flag. Within five minutes after the firing of the first gun th Chinese in the settlement had lied in all directions. The United States steamer Omaha has been recalled for Corea and f one to Chmkiang direct. The North China )aily News says: "The chief lesson learned from this outbreak is that it will not do to believe that foreigners are in absolute security at any of the treat v ports. Such incidents as happened at Chinkiang may occur at any lAoment at any of the ports, and every port shonld be within easy reach of a man-of-war. The Chinese government will have to pay full compensation for the damage done. It is no kindness to the Chinese to withdraw the gunboats for fear of wounding their sensibilities, for in any event like this the loss falls ultimately on the government." It is feared that the accession of the young Emperor will bo accompanied by a recrudescence of anti-foreign feeling, as ho is under the influence of a tutor who is known to be a violent reactionary. The foreign residents who fled to the hulks stationed In the river subsequently went on board of a merchant steamer and were taken to Shanghai. One foreigner is reported missing. General Jones, the American consul, and British Consul Mansfield remained at Chin Kiaug, under the protection of a British gunboat, but sent their families to Shanghai. Among the foreign buildings burned were a British consulate, the British marshal's house, the Baptist chapel, and the houses of two missionaries. Rev. Mr. Hunnex and Rev. Mr. Bryant. The United States consulate and the Methodist chapel were not burned. The wife of the American consul hud to run for her life, accompanied by her children, being pursued to the river by the rioters. THAT BREWERY SYNDICATE. It Has No Existence in England, and Is Simply a Sharp Financial Trick. London, March 9. The Financial News says: "The articles in American newspapers concerning the desperate attempts of Englishmen to buy Amencan breweries amuse the English financial world. They appear to be the result of a combination of certain American brewers to boom their properties and irresponsible company mongers who aro trying to advertise themselves among American brewers by claiming to represent an English syndicate. The scheme is to obtain such options as they can and then search for a purchaser, thereby securing desirable properties to hawk on the London market until they are unsalable. All tho talk about the Barings and other English houses being engaged in an attempt to buy American breweries is such utter nonsense that we are surprised that our American friends are deceived by it. Among the host of names of Englishmen mentioned as representing the syndicate, the name of Mr. Luke Bishop appears, but diligeut inquiry fails to develop the powerful capital ,ne is said to represent. The ouly American breweries yet sold in London are those which the trustees, executors and insurance corporations negotiated through their representatives, Samuel Unternieyer and Hill's Union Brewery Company. Since these sales, twenty breweries have been ottered to the trustees and corporations by the so-called agents of powerful syndicates, all of which have been referred to their American representatives and rejected as undesirable. Mr. Uutermeyer, on being intervieweo, declared that thr idea of a trust to control the billions of dollars invested in the three thousand American breweries was preposterous. The venders and their friends own half tho securities in the breweries, the sale of which has already been negotiated, American investors holding a large part. The thrifty poorer classes of Irelend own considerable iu f.Y-shares. Said Mr. Untenneyer: "If a syndicate exists in England, or elsewhere, which is looking after American breweries, neither I nor anybody to my knowledge is able to find it. It is a pure fiction. Capital can bo borrowed in Europe cheaper than in America. That is what has-been done, but tho public throughout the Uuited Kingdom has loaned the nionc3 No syndicate has had anything to do with it. It was done by advertising for money in the papers. The sooner brewers understand this the quicker their minds will bo eased." no lonc;kr as exile. Promulgatlou of the Decree Authorizing the Return of the Duke d'Auinale. Pakis, March 9. The Official Journal today publishes the decree authorizing the return of the Duke d'Anmale to France. The revocation by the government of the decree of exile wan approved by the Chamber of Deputies to-day. The Chamber, by a voto of 31 to 147, sustained the action of the government. 31. l'elleton opened the debate on the question of the revocation of the decree of exile against the Duke d Aumale. He objected to the recall of tho Duke, because. he said, it was not an act of kindness, but a political step. M. Constans. Minister of the Interior, iustified tho withdrawal of the decree. which, he said, was a useless measure. The government held that, by his three-year exile, the Uuke r Aumaie had been sufficiently punished. The Duke, M. Constans said, was exiled not because he was a pretender to the throne of France, but for addressing a disrespectful letter to the President of the Kepublic. The eovernraait, in i evoking Uw decree, of exile, did

not act from political motives, but merely desired to do an act of justice to an old soldier who loved France above ail things, and whose presence would in no way endanger the country. M. AndrieusantfFlouquet approved the recall of the Duke. Prince Henri Eugene Philippe Louis d'Orleans, Due d'Auinale, the fourth son of King Louis Philippe, was born at Paris on Jan. 16, 1822. As an officer in the French army, he rendered valuable services in the conquest of Algeria. When the revolution of 184S drove his father into exile, the Due took up his residence in England, where he remained until the overthrow of the second empire. He then returned to France, was elected a member of the Assembly and resumed his position as a general of the army. He acted as president of the courtmartial which condemned Marshal Bazaine to death for his alleged treachery in the surrender of Metz. Up to 1SJ9 the Due comniauded the Seventh Army Corps, and later he served as Inspectorgeneral. In 1883 he and other members of the Orleans family were placed on the retired list. In lSo the Deputies, in obedience to tho outcry against pretenders to the French throne, passed a law ordering the expulsion of the heads of families which have reigned in France. It was immediately enforced acainst Prince Na

poleon and bis son Victor and also the Compte de Paris. Under this law General Boulanger dropped the name of the Duo d'Auniale from the army list. The latter sent an indignant protest to President (irevy, and his expulsion immediately followed. The Due had a magnificent revenee later when he published that portion of his will bequeathing Chantillv, with its library and art collectionvalued at &S.00O.ooo to the Institute for the use of France. The Due was married in 1844 to Princess Marie Caroline, daughter of Leopold of the Two Sicilies. She died in WA leaving no children. The Due has been the least correct in his private life of his father's sons, and for some years after his return to France he was on intimate terms with Mils. Croizette and Leonido Leblanc, the actresses. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS. Rlsmarck Has Arranged Everything, and Mil an's Abdication Will Cause No Trouble. tCopyright, 1889, by the New York Associated Press. Berlin, March 9. Tho abdication of King Milan, of Servia, though not expected 60soon, was received here very calmly, having been long considered inevitable. In Foreign Office circles no fears are entertained that the event will disturb the existing peace, Princo Bismarck having taken precautionary measures to restrain Austria from any precipitate action, and Kussia naving an to gam uy maintaining a wait ing attitude, lhe news that Servia bad decided to reduce her army further restores confidence that no adventurous policy will be pursued. The Vossische Zeitung sees therein proof of the intention to follow neither the Austrian nor the Kussian policy, but that of Servia. TelegTams from St. Petersburg record the rejoicing over the abdication of King Milan of the Slav party, a committee ot which celebrated the event by a banquet at which the Servian minister and his staff were present. Immediately upon abdicating King Milan addressed a telegram to Emperor Francis Joseph, expressing in the warmest terms his gratefm acknowledgement of the friendship that had been constantly displayed by the Emperor, and beseeching his Majesty to preserve tho kindly feeling for Alexander. The Austrian ruler, in his reply, gave the desired assurances, and sent his cordial wishes to the new King and tho people of Servia. Parnell's Coming Speech. Loxnox, March 9. The grand national protest against the government's coerceon policy In Ireland, which for some time past has shown signs of increasing to a degree almost overwhelming, will culminate on Wednesday afternoon in a meeting In Memorial IlaU, where will congregate the leaders of all sections and factions of the opposition. At this meeting a resolution embracing ten clauses indicting the government will be submitted, and at a meeting to be held in St. James Hall in the evening they will be debated. Mr. John Morley will preside at the evening meeting and present the resolutions, which may have been passed at the afternoon gathering, to Mr. Tarnell. The Iri&h leader wiU reply in the speech of the evening, and it is expected that his address will be one of the most important he has ever delivered. It is noteworthy that Mr. Parnell. in his speech at tho banquet to Earl Spencer, at the Eighty Club, last evening, made no reference to the personal attacks which have been made upon him, and it is presumed that he has reserved comment on these for his speech on Wednesday evening. The Threatened Strike In Germany. Berlin, March 9. The threatened crisis in the relations between workingmen and their employers causes intense uneasiness in the manufacturing districts. A group of Breslau manufacturers, in the hope of averting the crisis, have already promised an Increase o f 10 per cent, la thewajces of their workmen. The authorities will maintain a neutral attitude in the struggle between capital and labor, provided It does not assume a political character. The strings, however, are all pulled by Socialist leaders, who are striving to bring about a general strike throughout the empire on the same day. Famine In Bohemia. London, March 9. Famine prevails to a distressing degree in the district of Winterberg, Bohemia. Twenty-four villages in the district are almost entirely without food, and 890 destitute families have been removed to Prague, where they have been housed and fed. The district councilors of Winterberg severely criticise Prince Schwarzenburg. the principal landlord in that locality, for having raised his rents 10 per cent., forcing his tenants to dispose of everything they could raise on their farms in order to meet his exactions. A Hint that Was Heeded by Wales. Paris, March 9. The Prince of Wales had intended to dine with General Galliffet last evening, at whose tablo he was Invited to meet General Boulanger. The fact of the Prince's acceptance of the invitation leaked out and was speedily communicated to the British Foreign office. Immediately it was hinted, in a delicate but unmistakably plain manner, to the Prince that he would better not keep the engagement, and he consequently sent his regrets and dined with Lord Lytton, with whom he went to the theater later. Foreign Notes. A party of 107 American pilgrims has arrived at Genoa from Marseilles. The Cologne Gazette asserts that the Czar is delighted at the abdication of King Milan. The municipal authorities have prohibited the Salvation Army from holding meetings in Berlin. The Rome Riforma announces that King Menelek, of Shoa, has formally declared war against King John, of Abyssinia. The Russian Nihilist committee has issued another manifesto to the fraternity, calling upon them to make another effort to throw off the yoko of tyranny. The apparent apathy of the Nihilists of late is evidently a blind. The publio prosecutor has compiled and sent to M. Tbevenet, French Minister of Justice, an indictment under the secret societies law against MM. DeRoulede, Richard and Gallian, oKlcers of the Patriotio League; Deputies Laguerre, Laisant and Turquct, and Seuator Naquet. It Is rumored that Archducess Stephanie, the widow of the not much lamented Crown Prince Rudolph, who is now living in strict seclusion in the castle at Miramar, the formor residence of Emperor Maximilian, erstwhile of Mexico, is enceinte. The new of the lady's interesting condition Is hailed with delight at the Austrian court, and there will be great rejoicing if the posthumous child shall prove to be a son. Imitating Dr. Tanner. Springfield, 111., March 9. On the 25th of January Mrs. Paulina King, a colored woman of this city, had a 4,vision." in which she was commanded by the Lord to fast for forty days and forty nights. Being a religious fanatic, she entered upon what seemed to her a plain duty vith perfect faith that she would pas through the ordeal, and that the Lord would bo glorified. There ceenis to be little doubt that the order was carried out. For the tirst seven days she drank no water, even. Then the Lord appeared to her again and commanded her to drink. From that time on she took water until the J7th of February, but since then she ha drunk nothing until yesterday, when her long fast ended. The event was made the occasion of a feast and merrymaking, which attracted a great crowd to the court-house, where the feast was held. The negroes brought in food in considerable abundance, and Mrs. King made a good square meal of oysters, cold turkey, ham and other substantial, which she seemed to enioy greatly. During the progress of the affair ij mns were sung, talks made, and two or three negro women went into trances. When Mrs. King entered upon her fast she weighed about 113 pounds. A day or two ago she "tipped the balance" at eighty-nine. She is muchemaciated, but declares that she did not suffer a particle during her fast and had no desire for food. Her strength remained with her, and she did her washing and ironing and performed her usual household duties without inconvenience. She froposes now to become an evangelist and go ortn and do the Master's work in such tie Ids as He may direct. She is thirty-two years of age, and has a husband and two children. She commenced to have visions" about three years ago. fche is illiterate, but quotes Scripture freely.

THE CLATTOX ASSASSINATION. Judge Clayton Makes an Earnest and Impassioned Appeal for Enforcement of Law. Little Rock, Ark.. March 9. The Circuit Court of Conway county is now in session at Morrilton, and if the assassins of John M. Clayton and the Plummervillo ballot-box thieves are not indicted and convicted, it will bo no fault of Judgo George S. Cunningham or State's Attorney Carter. In his charge to the grand jury Judge Cunningham said he came to plead for law and order, and asked what it was that protected their wives, their children, and their homes in their absence on business or pleasure; what it was that protected their lives from murderers, their property from theft, and their homes from arson; and reminded them that it was the law, told them the people who lived in tho towns could easily summon aid, when needed, by beck or call, but that those who lived in the country had no sheriff, no marshal, no constable, no near neighbors convenient to aid them in trouble, but that their 6ole

reliance was on the law. "Law," said tho Judge, "is a rule of conduct, not for the poor, the weak, or the humble alone, but it is also a rule of conduct for the rich, the strong and the powerful; thatitisuniversal in its application, and should be enforced against all alike. An accessory is one who stands by and aids or abets the commission of an offense, or, not being present, aiding or abetting the commission of an otiense, has indorsed or encouraged it, and is just as guilty in morals, as he is in law, as the principal offender, and as a general rule is punished the same. Bear in mind this law. and you will have plenty of work to do in this county. You will have to investigate tho Cla3'ton assassination, and whoever aided or abetted, by word or deed, in that cowardly butchery should be dragged by the throat to justice. They should not be exempt from punishment be cause ot any standing or inlluence they may have in the community. I do not know who they are. I wish to heaven that I did. I would tell you: but. mind you, political assassinations do notorigiiiateinino minus ox men in tne numuiesc walks of life. Men who earn their living by the sweat of their brows, whose lives are poems of honor or industry, do not find it in their minds and hearts to conceive assassination; but it is conceived and planned by more inlluential. line-haired gentlemen who pretend to bo respectable. While the cowardly villiah who fired the gun that killed Clayton should be caught and hung, the nmin objeetof our search should be the dastardly conspirators who instigated it. Some men seemingly want to apologize for or extenuate the horror of this murder on, the ground of politics. They remind me, of the doctor who was a dead shot on fits, and every patient ho had he ., -tried to ' . throw him into fits. They want to throw it into politics. I tell you there is no Democracy or Republicanism in murder. ,M had as soon punish a Democratic murderer as : Republican murderer; land I want to appeal to you as Democrat to punish crime, whether the criminal is ' Democrat or a Republican; and if tho Democracy does this, it. will rule the country, and rule it forever. Ihis gToat government of oiirs is sending a fleet and about to.engage.in war with one of the most powerful nations of Europe because the rights of American citizenship have been ignored and violated in the Island of Samoa, 1,000 miles in the south Pacific. It is said our flag fails to protect our citizens there, whom it purports to;;and ought to protect. Now, I would be willing to sink every dollar's worth of property in this country to show that' that flag is not an unnecessary,, symbol or hollow sham, but to convince the world that in truth it does protect American citizenship everywhere they aro entitled to its protoction. What would you think of a man who would be found running around and inquiring about a man's politics who had been outraged in Samoa whether ; he was', a Democrat or Republican? A black man or a white man? The question would not be, 'is he a Democrat or a Republican! A white man or black man?' But, 'is ho an American citizen?' Andthe same jealous care ought to be exerted by the courts to protect them at home. For the love of justice, don't go out and indict some poor , fellow for not working the roads, when, peidiapv, his family need his services." or some poor, ragged mountaineer for killing a deer on Sunday to satisfy his hunger, and then march into cwirt with measured tread and Pharisaical look and say you found nothing against. these other men. Don't fool away your time after minnows when there are whales in 'siglit. If you must make a discrimination,'1 get after those prominent men tfndlpt others go. There is no man with three ndeap above an oyster who does not know that murder and assassination are the results, of the political methods that have been employed in this country to carry the late election, and the meanest man -in the country is the professed' 'politician who advocates or indorses such methods. You must 6top this' ballot-box stealing, farce and fraud, or the title tqyonr property will not be worth the paper it is written on. What does tho law say? ; The organic law and life of this' great Nation says these colored people have 'a right to vote, and, if they have no right to vote, where did you f et your right?: If thev have no right to bo Icnublicans, how did you get your rights to bo Democratstj.I vtmld urge on you as Democrats that the rght ot citizenship must be protected; and at every little precinct in this county, there 6hould be a free ballot and fair count. .-Politicians try to scare you with the myth and bugaboo uf negro domination. Vhe re have they dominated? No. sirs; it is 'merely an excuse for committing outrages on their rights which no sensible man could consider. Democracy means that the people shall rule, and we are told that it is undemocratic to denounce bulldozing, ballot-stealing and assassination. If this bo true then I am no Democrat. If apology for bulldozing, ballot-stealing and assassination constitute Democracy, then may the angels and ministers of God protect me from such Democracy! Now, gentlemen, I don't say that the people of Conway county aro responsible for these crimes, as a people; but 1 do sav the consequences are just the same. The world will hold you responsible. All the people of England are not responsible for the mistreatment of Ireland, nor are the people of Russia for the oppresion of Poland; bnt in the eyes of the world they are responsible." Sad Fate of Harry Mordt, Louisville, March 9. It was discovered, late last night, that at the fire in the Mammoth clothing house, yesterday afternoon, a young salesman named Harry Mordt had almost certainly been destroyed in the names. He was the son of Frederick D. Mordt, who is employed at the Louisville Hotel, and lived with his father in Jetfersonville. He was twenty-one years old. A peculiarly sad feature of his case is that he was to be married to Miss Annie liogers, of Madison, Ind., in a few months. Young Mordt was in tho habit of going to tho basement and eating his midday luncheon near the big furnace. Freanentlv, after finishing his meal, he would lie own for a few minutes rest. The last seen of him yesterday was at about 1 o'clock, when one of the employes in the store says be saw him lying on some of the goods boxes in the basement, apparently nsleep. It is doubtful if he ever awoke, and if he did, it is supposed he was suffocated by the smoke and heat before he could give the alarm. Nothing has been heard of him this morning, and all hope that he may have escaped has been jriven up. it will be some time before a search can be made for his remains, if. indeed, the tire has not entirely destroyed them. Double Tragedy at Kansas City. Kansas Citv, March 9. A sensational double tragedy, with a woman as the cause, occured in the Vienna Hotel, alnmt 10 o'clock to-night. I. P. Christiansen, proprietor of the hotel, wus shot through the head and fatally wounded by Wm. K. Bell, who had been employed a cook in the hotel. The murderer, nftereomnilttingthe deed, ran down stairs, and when he reached the sidewalk placed the muzzle of the still smoking revolver against hU own head and blew out his brains.

STANLEY'S WRATH.

Some Interesting Experiences of the Famous African Explorer. Frank II. K as son, In the Christian Union. The followine facts concerninc Henrv M. Stanley have never been in print, 'f hey were civen to me by William Bradford, the marine artist and arctic explorer. Iu the year 1873 Mr. Bradford, returned from his Greenland explorations, was in London, publishing his sumptuous volume on "The Arctic Keerions." It was brought out under the patronage of tueen Victoria at $125 per copy. At this time he met Stanley, who was in a towering rage. "He was iust back," said the artist, "lrom tindmg Livinestone. and was now very an sty at the cavalier wav in which he had been treated about publish ing his book through Murray. It seems that John Murray was away, and the partner present had received Stanley quite nonchalantly, and 6aid he was not quite sure whether they could publish his book or not, and. anvwav, nothing could be done about it until Mr. Murray's return. I said to him, 'Mr. Stanley, aro you particular to have Murrry publish your bookf 'No.' 'Well. 1 can tell von of some very good publishers, who, I think, would bo lad to publish it, and that is the linn of anipson Low & Co. Thev are publishing my book, and, I think, would be glad to get bold of yours. If vou wish, I will see them about it.' 'Do so, Mr. Bradford; I'll be glad to have you.' "So I went down and saw Mr. Marston, of tho linn, and said to him, 'Mr. Marston, would you like to publish Stanley's new book on Africa?' 'Yes. 6ir. indeed we As I was going out he 6aid, 'Mr. Bradford, do you suppose that Mr. Stanley is ready to consider an otter for his bookf 'I think 60, sir.' "I took Stanley down to see them, and Mr. Marston asked him if he was prepared to consider an offer then and there. 'Yes. sir well, Mr. Stanley, we will give $10,000 for it, and a liberal share of you the prohts.' " 'I'll do it,' said Stanley. And a happier. man you've seldom seen. 'Now, Mr. Stanley," said Mr. Marston. 'when can you be gin to furnish us copyf 'lo-morrow morn ing, sir, and every day thereafter till it's done.' 'Just one word more, Mr. Stanle3 Will 3'ou please say nothing about this for lour weeksf I've a special reason for asking.' 'Yes. sir. that 6uits me.' said Stanley. And so the bargain was closed, and Samp son, Low ct Marston have been Stanley's publishers ever since. "A few weeks later Stanley went in to see John Murray, and the following conversa tion occurred: 'Mr. Murray, I've come to 6ee aoont your pmmshing my boot Do you wish to!' 'Yes. I think that we mav be able to, Mr. Stanley. But we cannot arlord to give you much for it. as it is a kind of experiment. But we'll publish it, Mr. Stanley.' 'No you won't' broke in Stanley with an oath, and, turning on his heel, left the great Lnglisu publisher astounded at tho young ivirican explorers audacity. "On another occasion." sava Mr. Brad ford, I was sitting at a great banquet of tho British Association at Brighton. It was in the evening after the 'African afternoon,' so-called. Stanley had been down for a speech late in the afternoon after sev eral English geographers had spoken. But 1 noiiceu uuring ine second speech, Dy air. C. R. Markham: of the Royal Geographical Society, that Stanley's wrath was nsintr. The speaker, in alluding to Li vinestone. had just said a word reflecting upon him. As soon as Markham was done, Stanley, at two bounds, was in the center of the platform, and, leaning forward and stretching out his forefinger with concentrated scorn toward Markham, began: 'You easy chair geographers, sitting on your cushioned velvet carpets, what do you know about itf Livingstone, after a long, arduous, perilous march, says: "I think I have found the sources of the Nile." Bnt you, from the seclusion of your libraries, declare: "We know that he has not." What right have you to decide such a question!' And then he gave it to them hot. And yet in fifteen minutes he had them all ladies and gentlemen', on their feet crying: 'Hear, hear, hear!' The Baroness Burdett Coutts waved her handerchief, and even the Emperor Napoleon, who was present with the Empress Eugenie, arose and handed Stanley their card. I tell you, Stanley was the most scathing man I ever listened to when ho was mad over Livingstone. So, in the evening, beiore going to the ening, ueiore going to tne to him, 'Now, Stanley, keep Don't disgrace yourself, vord to-night.' For I knew banquet. 1 said your temper. Don't say a word to-night. this very Markham was cointr to nreside. Well, Stanley promised that lie wouldn't say one word. But they placed him at Markham's right hand. I sat across tbo table where I could -see him. Pretty soon I noticed that he and Markham were talking earnestly. Then the bulldog look came into Stanley's face. And then he jumped up and off ho went. "It seems that Markham had nrged him to speak, but Stanley had declined, when the following conversation ensued: 'But, Mr. Stanley, you must speak. That is the purpose for which they invited you here.' 'Is that the reason they invited me here!' 'Certainly, Mr. Stanley; we expect you to favor us with a speech.' 'Well, I won't. But' thrusting his hand deep into his pocket 'here's a guinea for my dinner' And olf he stalked in a towering rage." QUEER WAYS IN THE WEST. An Accident that Cost Springer a Good Citizen He Drank with Ills Flat On. Kansas City Times. "Theydo things queer in the West," said a cattleman in the lobby of the Midland. "1 remember some four years ago when Peto Burlison, then slleriil of Colfax county, New Mexico, killed Driscoll at Springer. Driscoll was range boss of the Triangledot Company's ranch, which is owned principally by Senator Dorsey, and was enjoying himself in Springer in the hilarious but unhealthy way peculiarly in vogue with cow punchers. Finally he concluded that a little game of "draw' was what he needed most, and he and Burlison sat down in a 6aloon in the harmless contest called freeze-out, whese the risk assumed by each was some $50. Most men didn't like to play with Driscoll when he was drinking, for, though one of the most generous, honest, and friendly men that ever left Texas, he carried as restless a sixshooter as up to date had borne the name of Colt; but Peto allowed it would be all right, so down they sat. "Well, sir, they hadn't played five minutes when each man jumped and pulled his gun, but Pete's got to going first, and Driscoll dropped. Of course, we all voluntarily felt a regret at losing a good citizen like Driscoll, but nobody could blame Pete. Driscoll didn't die for a day or two. an' as soon as he could talk he sent for some of the best men in town, and told 'em Pete was all right and to let him go. This was about the way wo figured it out ourselves, 60 we did as Driscoll said. It was a deplorable accident, though." "I remember another time," continued the same historian, "when Clay Allison was charging around lower Colorado. Clay was all right when he was sober, but tho minute he had a drink inyou couldn't call Clay real good society for anybody. On the occasion I was thinkin' about, the spring round-up was workin' the Las Animas valley, and, being neartown, a lot of the boys had gone down to West Las Animas to get drunk and loosen the boards in the dancehall iioor. Well, Clay came 'round about 9 o'clock in the evening, and came 3'elling into the dance-halh whirling his gun on his forefinger like it was a pinwheel. " 'My name's Clay Allison, an' I want every son-of-a-guu to take off his hat here,' he shonts. "Most of us pulled off our hats, and prompted by a generous public sentiment, started to laugh it olf as a joke, but up gets a man. sorter pale but grum, and allowed that all the Allisons that ever came from Tennessee couldn't make himtako his hat off. We all stopped laughing an' Rtood back, an' the signs seemed about right for some one to quit this world of vain regrets right thar. But Allison, after look in' him over a second, says: " 'Well, take a drink with your hat on, them' "We all got a drink, and Allison say: " 'Bowman, this yere small State ain't big enough for two such men as you an' me. Our trails are always crossin. an' one of us oughtt r moved a good while back. Now I'll tell you how we'll fix it. We'll put our guns on the bar and get over to the other side of the room. One of the boys will give the word, an' the man who gets his gnu first is goin' to play in big luck, an' the other won't be near so numerous around this dance-hall to-morrow raisin' dismites and bad blood among good quiet people.'

"'Be keerfui of the piano when yott .' shoot, boys,' said the dance-hall man, as ha vacated the bar in deference to a reasonable fear of stray bullets. 'The guns were put on the bar, and the ' duelists got over to the other 6ide of the room and waited for the worth " 'Go!' yelled some one, and, with the word. Bowman made a jump like a cat. and had both pistols before Allison got fairly started. "'H wdovou like the color of it!' he gritted, as he turned the muzzles oa the helpless Allison, and his forefingers twitched and quivered in murderous anticipation on the triggers. "You're the best man. Bowman,' said Allison, as he held up both hands. "'Give me a gun, some one yelled one of the girls in anecstacy of rage and terror. 'Give me a gun. 1 won't stand an' see Clay Allison shot down like this.' And she tried to get a pistol from the belt of a bystander. ' 'It is all right, Jim he said, as he held t her back; 'this is a fair tight. Clay made; the game himself, and he musn't kick if he finds the ante a leetle high.' " 'If I didn't know I was the best man ' said Bowman, and his eyes looked bad. 'I'd drill you right now while its my way, bnt I don't have to kill a man with his woman ' looking on. So we'll quit right here, but don't come bulgin 'round me no more " 'It's a square deal all round, every one is satisfied, an' the drinks is on the house said the bar-keeper as he came back to his post. "That ends it. Mice Bowman afterward was a sherill" in New Mexico an' was always reckoned clean game. Allison has done lots of shootin' and had lots of fun since, and is now running his ranch in the Pecos valley." A Man In the Kitchen. Good Housekeeping. A mother carefully taught her sons many details of work usually considered the sole firovince of girls, and concerning which oys generally grow up in utter ignorance, Theywashed and wiped dishes, learned to . prepare plain meals, had practice in sweeping and dusting and putting to rights, and ' were taught to patch and darn neatly and 1 to sew on buttons. Some of them learned I

something of the "higher branches." When they went out into the world they had frequent occasions to bless the mother for these useful accomplishments: and when they became heads of heuseholds. they had, an intelligent practical knowledge of the, details of the work of which their wives! had charge, and were able to make the bur-l den easy in many ways where another man would have made it heavier. No man worthy 01 tne name permits his wife or any woman in his house to perform the heavy drudgery of carrying coal and wood, caring for furnaces and stoves, moving stoves or heavy furniture, beating carpets, and so on. But this need not be the limit of a man's usefulness about the house. There is no reasonable reason why a man should not be able to broil a steak, boil or bake potatoes, cook an egg, make coffee or tea and prepare other articles of food should an emergency arise to make it desirable (and such emergencies do often arise), and do it, too, without turning the kitchen and dining-room topsy-turvy in the operation. Some men can and do accomplish such work, and even make biscuits, griddle-cakes and tho like. A woman whose husband is in the habit of "taking hold" when needed in housework has been heard to say that she would rather have him to depend on in case of indisposition or other emergency than any girl that could bo hired. He does not interfere when there is no cause for it, but he saves labor for his wife and expense for himself, and he is not at all ashamed of doing it nor afraid to undertake it. No man need be; rather anv man should be ashamed of nn- : 1 1 : j i u a. 1 1. perform any ordinary household task oa occasion. The Use of Coffee. Detroit Tribune. I am an advocate for coffee," said a wellknown phvsican, "that is, in black coffee J drunk alter dinner, for physiological! reasons, 1 ou see, the digestive organs are over-stimulated bv highly-seasoned viands, and the strong coffee retards their action. It should, however, be drunk without sugar or cream." For making black coffee nee a heaping tablespoonfui of corteo to each cup of boiling water. This is supposing the 6mall cup measure is used. Two-thirds cup of Java to one of Mocha is a good mixture. Pour the boiling water on the coffee and setback for fifteen minutes where it will keep hot but not boil. This will nour off clear with out using anything to settle it. If a French filter-pot is used the coffee mnst be ground 1 to a powder and ground freshly every morning, ami especial care should be taken to keep it closely covered so that none of the aroma or volatile oil can escape. A Water Inebriate. Pittsburg Piiatcri. The jail in Morris county, New Jersey, boasts of a dwarf less than four feet high, . who probabPy drinks more water than any I other man in the State. Formerly he was? tho champian whisky drinker of his dis- . trict, and for habitual drunkeness and disorderly conduct he was committed to the. jail some weeks ago. At first the sudacn cutting off of his customary allowance; of strong liquor almost prostrated him. Recently, however, ho has developed ' a passion for water that is morepronounced than , his old craving for whisky. He drinks, it is said, a gallon every night, and accosts the first keeper he sees in the morning with a demand for more. During the hours of daylight he requires from eight ti ten quarts to assuage his thirst, and still complains of a dryness of the tonsils He says he never felt in better health ia his lite. A cotton and wool flannel, although it, will wear and look much better when prop ' erly cared for, yet if neglected it will not 6how it one-half as quickly as the all-wool, nor will it look as badly.
