A MIT SONG. BT 110 WARD GLTJtDOW.

O May's the month for mating . for mating, for O Max wan made for mating, all under the lilac trees I There True Lore itands -waiting, a-waiting-, a-waiting; There True Love stands awaiting, his locks blown on the breeze! Tis true there are no roses, fair roses, fresh roses; 'Tis true there are no roues to wreathe around hit head; And he must wait for posies, new posies, June posies; And he muat wait for ponies, white and blue and red! But the purple is Love's token. Love's token, Love's token. The purple is Love's token, since young Adonis died. His heart must first be broken witn longings all nnspoken; Love's heart must Erst be broken against his faithful hide. ITntil he find that other, to clasp and kiss and smother; Until he finds that other that sweet heart that breaks (or him! That turneta Irom another, or mother, or brother; , And hearkenctii for his footfalls where the light is dim! Where velvet leaves droop lowly, droop lowly, droop lowly; Where velvet leaves droop lowly and purple blows are sweet; All in fcilencc holy, serene and melancholy. Lore lies down, forgettiug his pain at her dear feet! A CLEYEiriKKJTOR. (Boston Traveller. About twenty years ago the Hon. and Rev. Edward Lambert, a clergyman of the Church of Kngland, found that his health was growing infirm, a moral and physical languor stemed to take possession of him; that English melancholy which came, no one knows why or wherefore, and he could not shake it off. Young, rich, handsome, eloquent, sure of preferment in the Church what wai the matter with the Hon. and llev. Edward Lambert? He did what all Englishmen do when other remedies fail be crossed the channel. He thought be would seek the rays of the sun, that luminary, so scarce in England. Perhaps it was the'sun that he needed. So one fine day he sailed for France, and soon found himself at Kouen, where he stayed for some days, taking every morning a walk around the Cathedral, carrying a volume of Dante under his arm. One afternoon he walked up the Mont St. Catherine, and seating himself on the grass gravely 'devoted himself to the Divine Comedy. He had scarcely lost himself in Dante's stately measures when a stranger approached and in the most perfect courtesy addressed him, asking him if he were an Englishman, and, if so, if he would permit a lew minutes conversation. I wish to perfect myself in your language," said the stranger, smiling, 4,and I always seize every opportunity to talk to an Englishman. "You already speak the language fluenlly,' said Mr. Lambert politely ; oit down Monsieur." Resting on the turf, with a glorious view before them, the two young men soon found themselves talking glibly of the news of the day, of Dante, of religion, politics and the weather. The Frenchman was very agree able, well educated and up the times on all points. He immediately told Mr. Lambert that he was a doctor and practicing his profession at Kouen. It was natural that the young clergyman should speak to him of his own case, which he did freely, asking the Doctor's advice. The Doctor became extremely interested, and, upon xamining Mr. Lambert's tongue and pulse, gave him a prescription. They walked together to Kouen, and Mr. Lambert then noticed that the Doctor had a beautiful white dog, a pointer, which gamboled around his master's heels. They separated as they reached the city, the Doctor to go and see his patients, the clergyman to seek an apothecary, where he got his prescription prepared. The next morning the Hon. and I lev. Mr. Lambert wu better. The Doctor's prescription had made him sleep. It had given him strength; he felt aa appetite for breakfast. Months of treatment in London at the hands of the best physicians had not done th'u for him. lie wished to thank and remunerate the Doctor, when he remembered that he did not know his name. Instinct told him, however, that be might meet him again on the Mont SU -fcitharine. Ho, with renewed hope, health and energy, tu walked again to the top of the hill. In five minutes he was j oined by the French Doctor and his dog, who came bounding along with hi3 pointernose in the grass. The two men greeted each other with smiles and shook hands cordially. You have saved nay life, Doctor," said 3Ir. Lambert, with unusual enthusiasm. "Not at all, not at all, my dear friend," said the Doctor; "I only gave you a good tonic, which also made you sleep. I found out (what none of my English brothers in medicine seem to have found out) that you have nothing the matter with you. Your ystem needs a little jogging, that is alL Kailroad travel, my aear iriena, win soon set you up. Now, I dare say, you have been leading a very easy and sedentary life; now, haven't vou?" "It is true, I have." "Take my advice, travel, ride day and night; take no medicine except these syr. ups, which I shall give you; seek adventure, lead a more varied existence, and, my friend you are all right.' Now came the delicate question of money, and the Englishman felt for the proverbial guinea. He tendered it to the French Doctor, who laughingly pushed it away with a very soft, well-formed, white hand. "Never, never," said he. 'For so light a service permit me to make my advice a return for a lesson in English conversation. It was gracefully done, and the embarrassed Englishman put his gold back in his pocket. Doctor," said he, in a low voice, hesitatingly, "I am an Englishman, and I hate to be under an obligation ; you have lifted a load off my heart which has hung there tor six months; you have made a new man of me. Now allow me to be of some service to you. I leave here by rail at 1 o'clock tomorrow morning, for Paris; until then I am at your service and forever after. Can I do anything for you?" The Doctor reflected a moment, and looked at his dog. "I dont know, indeed; and yet I do happen to think of one thing. You might eave me a journey to Paris, which, with my engagements, is just now inconvenient. But it is asking too much, perhaps." "What how too much?" said the clergyman. 'Well, I have a number of sick people under my charge, whom I treat for diseases of the Drain. One of these is a veryrich woman, who is slightly deranged. I hope to have cured her. Unhappily she has determined to return to Paris, and I have no authority to detain her. I perceive that she will fret until this caprice is gratified. I must eo with her to place her in charee of friends, and I have Decn puuing on irom day to day, because I can not leave my other oatient. the duty of taking her home. Now if you would escort her it would be a jeal service,' said the Doctor. -Ü j dear sir, a crazy young woman, at

1 o'clock at night, and I a clergyman of the Church of England, said Mr. Lambert, for. getting his late gratitude. Oh, she is forty-ir my dear sir, and her mania is a very quiet one. She looks and acts like a sheep, poor woman, and she will scarcely speak to a stranger. I do not know that sne will go with you. The hour is rather early 1 in the morning but still I might ask her, and it will be a real favor to me." "Bring her along. Doctor!" said the clergyman, ashamed of his own reluctance; bring her along a sheep and forty -six; I will take care of your pat.ent to Paris 1" Talking in this way they reached the gates of the city. Before separating, the Doctor gave his card to Mr. Lambert. "Au revoir," said he, "and perhaps adieu, my dear sir. Let me hear from you from time to time; and I hope, if we never meet again, that you will rotain, as I shall do, an agreeable recollection of our acquaintance. 1 may not see you again, us my friend may not be wiliing'to go with you adieu." Mr. Lambert glanced at the Doctor's card, feeling anew the embarrassment of the possible night journey with an insane woman, and regretting hU proorfise, in spite of his gratitude, lie read on the card: "Dr. de La Belle, rue Antoine; No.

Eleven. Mr. Lambert walked through the rue Antoine, and stopped at No. Eleven. It was a large, handsome . house, with the announcement in black letters on a brass plate, Docteur de La Belle. On arriving at his Hotel he asked the landlord it he knew Dr. de La Dell. I believe, sir," said the man civily, "that he is the best physician in Kosjo." At 1 o'clock in the morning Mr. Lambert waited with some anxitty in the depot the arrival of the train. The English clergyman rubbed his hands with great satisfaction for he did not care fort bis particular responsibility when some one touched him lightly on the shoulder. It was the Doctor! Seated on a bench was a lady in black, with her veil drawn over her face. "I have taken a coupe," said the Doctor, "so you will not be incommoded by other travelers. Here is Mademoiselle s purse, ticket and little traveling cache ; perhaps she will need something. Have the kindness to show her ticket to the conducter. I have telegraphed to Paris to her friends, who will meet her at the station. She is as quiet as a dove. Should you find her agitated, give her a drop of tbi essence on sugar; here is tne bottle. .Monsieur lambert, -Mademoiselle!" He then helped along the invalid lady and put her in the corner of the coupe. He then, after arranging her with great kind ness, stepped out, held Mr. Lambert by the hands, and talked with French effusion, as the officials hurried passengers out and in. 'I trust you will have no trouble, adieu," said he, giving a final word of kindness to his fair patient, and arranging her footstool. 'Oh, no! I dare say not,' said Mr. Lambert, bowing to the lady, and taking his seat by her side. "But what a powerful odor there is in fhis coupe will it not disturb the lady?" "Oh, no! I think not," said Dr. de La Belle. "I broke a bottle of cologne as I was helping her in. It will all disappear in a few minutes." The train departed; and Mr. Lambert, who felt exceedingly wide awake, and who found Dr. de La Belle's cologne very strong, tried to draw his fair friend in a conversation. She was separated from him by a high basket of flowers, the Doctor's last attention. The poor insane woman would not answer a word, and from her immovable calm the clergyman concluded that she was asleep. "V hen they arrived in Paris, he determined that she should speak. "Mademoiselle " said he, in a loud voice, "do awake and listen to me; 1 must leave you for a moment to go Und your friends." He sought a long time but could not find anybody who wanted a Ldy from Kouen. He came back to the carriage very discontentedly, when, to bis intense astonishment, ke found a crowd around the compartment where the lady still sat. He went forward to see what was the cause of the excitement. uAre you the man who traveled from Rouen in this coupoY" said a policeman. "Yes." "Do you know thut this lady is dead? You have poisoned her w ith prusie acid. She has been dead four hours." And the populace groaned. The clergyman was speechless with horror. He tried to clear himself with all the earnestness of an innocent man, but his 6tory was a most improbable one. The police found on him the purse of the poor woman, and a bottle containing prussic acid. It was the little bottle which Dr de La Belle had forced upon him in the train. Mr. Lambert, stunned, half dead, allowed himself to be carried to prison without residence he was past that. A day later he said: 'Take me to Kouen; I will unmask the villain; he can never face me." Two sergeants . de ville, with other em ployes of the police in plainclothes, attended this dangerous criminal to Kouen in the railway, and drove to the house of Dr. de La Belle. Mr. Lambert was sure that at the sight of his face the assassin Doctor would confess all. Dr. de La Belle was engaged at that moment and kept him some time waiting. "When at last the police began to be troubled the head sergeant bade them be calm. "The house is guarded, said he; "he can not escape." Presently there entered a calm, elderly gentleman, with spectacles, which he removed as he looked at them. "I beg pardon for keeping you waiting;," said he, "but did you want me? I am Dr. de La Belle." Mr. Lambert trembled from bead to foot. An abyss opened before him, of which he could not see the bottom. This was not at all the man whom he had met on Mont St. Catharine. "You are not Dr. de La Belle at all!" said the unhappy man. "I think I can prove that I am," said the suave old Doctor, smiling. Alas! everything was against him. The English clergyman had fallen into the mo6t terrible snare laid by the most accomplished villain. They returned to Faris. "I wish I could see Lim again with his white dog," said Mr. Lambert, throwing his hands in the air. White dog. did you say?'' asked the sergeant de ville. Some weeks passed and the police became convinced that Mr. Lambert was innocent, but they were yet waiting for the real villain. Mr. Lambert was taken, blindfolded and in the night, to a house, he knew not in what street, where he, however, was welllodged, and where he was always alowed to read and write, but was strictly watched. Shortly after his new incarceration a valet arrived with his clothes and asked him respectfully to make his toilet. A servant escorted him to a closed carriage and drove toward the Champs Elysees. 'Look at everybody who passes," said the servant. Mr. Lambert looked, but saw nothing. The next day the servant, elegantly

dressed, came again in aa open carriage,and

by the tide of the coachman sat a whit pointer aog. Mr. Lambert turned pale. Ymi have seen' that dog before?" said the sergeant. 'It is his dog," said Mr. Lambert. "Keep calm and look about you," said the policeman. But they looked in vain. They saw no master for the dog. ' On the night that crime was committed this dog was found in Rouen without a mas ter, said the sergeant. Later the prisoner was requests! to make an evening toilet,and was escorted to a grand ball in a magnidcent house in one of the best parts of Paris. "You are serving the ends f justice," said the sergeant to him. "Be pattent and observe the guests." He was presented to the lady of the house, who received him very graciously, and who introduced him to her younger daughter. He talked with her and looked at the guests, but saw nothing. Another week passed. He went to another ball, in the same company; his young host, Monsieur de F., seated himHelf beside him, and drew carelessly before them the curtains of a large window which filled half the room. It was not long before Mr. Lambert heard the well-known voice of the Sergeant of Police ( who, in the most irreproaccable of black coats and white ties, looked like a Con de or Montmorenci) talking to a gentleman near him, of hunting. "It i a long time since 1 have ollowed the hounds," answered the gentleman. Mr. Lambert darted from his seat. "It is helM said he. "It is Dr. de La Belle." "Be silent," said Monsieur de F.; "be silent," and he held him in his seat by main force. In a moment they were joined by the sergeant ue ville. I have heard him! It is his voice," said Mr. Lambert, trembling all over. "Perhaps we are all wrong," e&id k i imperturbable individual. "Stay here w uliout moving. I will draw the curuin. Look at every one who enters with a lady on his arm; wbfn the suspected passes, press my arm without a word." "Is it Monsieur de Bocage?" asked the host in a low voice of the officer. "Probably," said the policeman; he was a lover of the unf rtunate Blanche Villierj." At this moment poor Lambert, peeping from behind the curtain, saw the wellknown smiling lace and jaunty figure of the Doctor of Kouen pass with a line young lady on his arm. lie gripped the arm ol the officer. "It is he," eaid he, choking. The 6er geant de ville drew the curtain quickly. "The chain is complete," said he; "we only wait lor the dog. Mr. Lambert, vour imprisonment will be short. One more visit and you are free.' ' The next day a close carriage with the white pointer under the seat, called for Mr. Lambert. "I shall conduct you to his door, but you must enter alone, "said the friendly sergeant. "You are not afraid?" "Afraid," said the Englishman, I only desire to kill him." "No, no personal violence, please. You would ejvil a verry pretty job," said the officer. "Coachman, drive to the house of Monsieur de Bocage, avenue Josephine." When Mr. Lambert, pale as death, rang the bell of the inner door, M. de Bocage, a Parisian swell, just putting on his clothes, opened it himself. He started back, horrified, but soon compose! himself! "You wish to see me, sir?" asked he. "Yes, you wretched murderer!" said the Honorable and Kcverend Lambart, "I do wish to see you." M. de Bocage retreated several steps. "You are mad," said he. "I have come to unmask you. villain!" "You are deceived, my brave gentleman," said M. De Bocage, and reaching behind him he caught up a pistol and discharged it full in the tace of the Englishman. At this noue and the fall of the clergyman, who was stunned and blinded for a moment, the two sergeants and several policemen entered the room, accompanied by a white pointer, who leaped up and caressed Monsieur de Bocage. Down, Thanor. downP's&id the murderer, forgetting himself. "The chains complete," said the sergeant, joyfully. 4 'Monsieur de Bocage, alias Dr. de La Belle, you stand charged with the murder of Mademoiselle Blanche Villiers, in a coup of the railway, which leit Kouen atl o'clock at night on the 13th instant, a crime which you sought to affix to this gentleman. (Throw a pitcher of water in his face; the pistol ball was drawn this morring while Monsieur de Bocage took his chocolate; he is not hurt.)" So saying, the sergeant revived the Englishman and tookMonsieur deBocago from his luxurious chamber toward twenty years of the galleys. The wretch looked back. "It was you, Thanor, after all," said he, caressing the white pointer. "Yes," said the sergeant, encouragingly. Had you but remembered to give the poor thing a pill of strychnine!" The Honorable and Keverend Mr. Lambert returned home much better. He had certainly taken the advice of his unknown medical adviser, and had varied his lite considerably. He never traveled in a coupe at night again with veiled ladies, nor did he ever quite get over the horror of having ridden from Kouen to Paris with a corpse. He had the curiosity to take the prescription to an apothecary in London, who analyzed it. "A powerful stimulant, sir," said he. We should not recommend you to use it very Irequently. Still, in extreme cases of depression it might be well." Mr. Lambert never lost his admiration of the French police. They were, he thought, a very accomplished set of actors. RKLIQIOl'S NOTKs A NO INCIDENTS. Twelve Chinese converts Lave been ordained to the ministry of the Church of England. Nine are still living and doing faithful service for the Churches. Baltimore Episcopalians are scandalized at Kev. Dr. Yanbokolin for preaching in a Presbyterian Church. He will be "presented." It is an odd sin in the Synod. A bill is pending in the Hungarian Diet to removo the disabilities of marriage between Israelites and Christians. It proposes to place such marriages on a civil One of the English Archbishops recently said in the House of Eords: "The narrow notions of all Churches have been their ruin. I believe that the Church of Scotland, though not as perfect as ours, is as true a Frotestcnt Church as the Church of England." The American Presbyterians and the American Baptists are the only denominations carrying on mission work in Siam. The Presbyterians work among the Siamese and the Laos, and the Baptists among the Chinese. The Presbyterians have a flour ishing orphanage in Bangkok, the Capital. The Christian Standard, in a mild controversy with its Presbyterian neighbor, the Journal and Messenger, on baptism and regeneration, puts this conundrum to it: "Will God damn a man on Account cf an

honest and unavoidable mistake?" The answer to that question, from an authority on

such intimate terms with tne Almignly, will be waited for with aa much anxiety as the promised edition of the revised Testa ment, The meanest Church ia the country has been found out. It is in the Stat of ermont. It is composed of well-to-do farmers who, seeing that their pastor gave an unusually large contribution to foreign missions, instead of taking the generous hint and doubling their own contributions, jumped backward to the conclusion that they were paying him too much salary and made baste to cut it down. The Church is now vacant, and the young men graduating from the Theological Seminaries should not delay their applications. Kev. Dr. Withrow, formerly of this city, but now of Boston, delivered a discourse on Church music, in his Church, on a recent Sunday evening, in which he spoke warmly about quartets. He said that he once exchanged pulpit services where the quartet during the services repaired to the vestibule: one went to the street corner and smoked, and another to a saloon in the neighborhood. He then said, with emphasis, that a minister or Parish Committee who allowed such a want of religious interest to exist should suffer with the quartet the disgrace thereof. He complimented his owa quartet and choir, and said that they were all Christian ladies and gentlemen and took part in all the services. ST. PETERSBURG. Melancholy Character of Life In the Kuslan Capital. Correspondence London Telegraph. I You may ascribe the sadness, the monotony and the silence of metropolitan life in Russia to the merciless asjK?rity of the climate; still. I would venture to point out that what is known as a "cold-snap" in New York City, although it does not last so long aa a Russian winter, rivals the intensity of that winter in its nipping and eagr keenness; and yet that there are very few open air siectacles to be seen in this working world more joyous than Broadway between A. T. Stewart's dry goods store and Tiffany's, on Union Square, about 4 p. ni. during a very cold Christmas tide. Also you may urge that St. Petersburg must needs be melancholy just now, under the dire bereavement which has fallen on its loyal population; and that all the fashionable world being in mourning tliey can not be expected to go shopping in the Nevskoi or the Great Morskaia; in short, that, for a seawn.all cheery life and sociality has been crushed out of the great city. But to this I would reply that I was in St." Petersburg not only four-and-twenty but five years ago; that it was the winter, and in the midst of the fashionable season, and that I found it externally a very dull and melancholy city. It will not cease to remain so, I should say, at all times, so long as it remains what it is His Imperial Majesty's Jail It is nothing more nor less than a huge prison, . with about 150,000 Jailers in civil and military uniform to look after about 500,000 prisoners, of whom a tithe perhaps may be legally or illegally desirous of having a free Constitution established, while the remaining nine-tenths do not know what a free Constitution is; are not fit to enjoy its privileges, would not know what to do with a Constitution if they got one, beyond setting forth, much more swiftly than their own troikas, tarantasses, or kibitkas ever traveled post-haste to the devil, mundanely speaking. That was a very striking act of horsemanship at Astley's in the olden time; the courier of St. Petersburg riding six horses at once; but it is enough to make one shudder to think of Ivan Ivanovich's riding, as he can ride at present, even one horse of the constitutional breed. But is the Capital of kussia to remain a Jail? If you doubt its being one, go there and see things for yourself. Try how you like having your letters opened in the Postoffice, and your telegrams subjected to the revision of the official censor. See what effect is produced on your temper by being continually subt'ected to surveillance and espionage, or by eing worried in your hotel bed-room by the passjort clerk attached to the establishment, who is continually wanting to know how you effected an entrance into Russia, and how many days longer you intend to stay in that agreeable country; whether you have ever been there before, and what reasons brought you there the last time of your coining; and why the foreign oflice passport you brought with you was issued by Lord Derby instead of Lord Granville. I tested the stupidity of a gendarme on the frontier by showing him a very old passort figned by Lord Clarendon four-and-twentv years ago, and he was perfectly satisfied. i inally, I should be anxious to know how you would like to liv in a city into which it is prohibited to introduce two of the most important of the daily newspapers published in London, and where your Punch, Illustrated London News, and your Graphic when you are permitted to receive those journals are found to have passed through the official censor s di rty paws, and to have been mutilated anQ defaced by him now by the entire excision of a jortrait or a cartoon, now by the blocking or stamping out with some filthy black compound of some article or paragraph which has been found obnoxious in the eyes of censorious and inquisitorial authority. Yes, St. Petersburg is His Imperial Majesty's Jail, with a vengeance. Vhen Peter the Great created this essentially artificial city, and which will go by the board some day, with its more rotten systems of tyranny, stupidity, and conuption, built on piles in the middle of a morass, he did so with the avowed intention of having "a window looking into Europe." But his successors, in the insanity of their selfish despotism, took good care to guard the window with a triple row of bars. The, innocent pigeons which make the streets of St. Petersburg beauteous even at the ugliest of times, have thus much in common with Sterne's starling that they might be continuously repeating the complaint of that memorable feathered biped. "We can't get out!" the Petroolitan pigeons, un feathered us well as feathered, might dolefully cry. Private Cares and Griefs. Wtii. Makepeace Thackeray. Thus, oh friendly readers, we see how every man in the world has his own private griefs and business, by which he is more cast down or occupied than bv the affairs of any other person.

Another Conference of Virginian Readjusters was held here last night; the main trouble is the Beadjusters can not get any promise from the Administration of Federal patronage for use in the camjaign. The President und Secretary Blaine have both expressed themselves in favor of the maintenance of the regular Republican organization in Virginia. Mahone called on Bob Ingersoll, this morning, to get his influence with the Admiidstration in favor of the union of the Republicans and Keadjutiters, but the trouble seems to be as stated, that the Readjusters want to control the Federal patronage, and to rill the State ticket with men of that iarty. Some of the Democratic Readjusters. it is said, are opposed to supporting a mixed State ticket, and they want the Republican votes for the Read just er ticket; besides thee, there are numerous leading Republicans of Virginia who oppose the condition and warn the Administration that if made it will disrupt the Republican party in that State for good. Mahone in a Fix. IWashington Dispatch X. Y. Woill Mahofle was not in the Chamber when the announcements were made, but when he came and learned what had been done he seemed very much perplexed and to a friend sunimeil up the case with an air of great concern in these words; "Well, this places me in a devil of a fix." Subsequently, when he had conned the matter over for publication, he said that he did not intend to take sides. He wished well of the Republican party, and had faith that differences would in some wav be ad justed, although he did not now see how that was to be done and had no plans to propose. Still later in the day Mahone relapsed into nernlexitw for unon hearing from s-v. eral Republicans whom Democrats had led to believe a reorganization of the Committees would be the next move, he exclaimed piteously: "Then, in the name f God, what is to become of me?" Time is Money. Galveston News. A policeman found a very well dressed stranger from San Antonio, who refused to give his name, sitting on the curbstone of Galveston avenue about 4 o'clock in the morning. The policeman asked him whv he didn't go home, or some such question, to which the young man responded: "lam going to get out of this town. It's noplace for a live business man like me. It's too slow, too slow." "What's too slow?" asked the policeman. "Everything is too slow. Here it is 4 o'clock in the morning and there is no saloon open yet, I've lost three solid hours waiting for business to open up. Time doesn't seem to have anv value to a Galves ton man. It ain't that way where I live. They keep open all night." Death front Suffocation, Ci.EVEi.A3iD, May 25 At Alliance this forenoon some little girls playing around the Thomas coal bank discovered the body of a man at the bottom of the shaft which was being sunk to a lower room to permit the escape of gas. Giving the alarm a crowd collected, among them a young man named George Reed who before he could be stopped jumped down the shaft to the rescue, and almost immediately tumbled over insensible. By the aid of" hooks the bodies were soon afterward recovered, but in both caes life was extinct. The first victim proved to be John Thomas, proprietor of the bank. The cause of death in both cases was suffocation. How to Tell a Hallet Girl's Age. "Clara Reil," in Cincinnati Enquirer, "Do you see that old thing in the second row third from the end'." asked my chaperon of Xiblo's Garden during the recent revival of the "Black Crook." I saw that the dancer she meant was a robust, mature and considerably gnarled structure with gnarled legs. "Notice the notches on her legs," she whispered. "There's one for every year she's been on the stage. She was in the balletof the original 'Black Crook' seventeen years ao, and her legs were as smooth us could be I've watched her from year to year, and the notches are reliable." Chatted by Small-Pox iu a Hearse. Springfield Republican. The team carrying the remains of Patrick Shea, who died of small-pox, at North Adams, ran away at ter the body had been placed in the hearse and while the men who were to carry it were in the house getting the dead man's clothes, about forty persons had gathered on the Marshall street bridge, some rods distant, to watch the proceedings, and when the wagon got near enough for them to discover what was in it they stampeded in all directions. Several Persons Kitled by a Boiler Explosion. Memphis, May 24 This afternoon at 5 o'clock a boiler in the foundry of T. L. Risk A: Co. exploded, killing W. H. Helder and Ed Hopkins, and seriously injuring Frank Cubbins, John Adams and Johu Hoyt. The Jury incpuest returned a verdict of gros carelessness on the part of the owners for employing an incompetent engineer. The cylinder of the engine was blown over the County Jail and through a brick wall 100 yards distant. The engineer in charge at the time of the accident was a youth lifteen years old. Ohio's Campaign. Washington, May 25. Among the many Ohio politicians the coming campaign in Ohio begins to be a subject of interest. Several prominent Ohio Democrats said to-night that the Stalwart and auti-Stalwart light in New York will not have any effect upon the Republican party in ( hio. One Ohio Democrat, who is always prominent in every campaign there, said there are so few Conkling Republicans in Ohio that they amount to Bothing. The funeral of Colonel Thomas A. Scott took place yesbrday with services at the house at Woodburn, near D;irby, and at the grave, in Woodlands Cemetery. The family, pall-bearers and friends assembled at the house about 2 o'clock. The olliciating clergymen were Rev. Wru. Bacon Stevens, I). D.. Bishop of the Diocese of Pennsylvania; Rev. Charles A. Manson, D.D., and rector of the old Sweeds Church at Kenysing, and Kev. Mr. Swope, of Trinity Church, New York. Tiic Fort Wayne Sentinel says: So far as heard from, the Conkling gang seems to be having the best of the Republican row in New York, both city and Stale. The State Central liepublican Committee have declared in his favor. This state of things reminds us of the party that went after wool and came back shorn. In attempting to split "the Solid South" the Republican party has split itself. In the moment of its expected triumph over a united Democracy, it finds the ground slipping from under its feet, and iu President left to the help of Democrats to keep him from sinking.
