. St. Sames Gazette, London.

A shocking murder was committed a fortnight ago at a monestery near the forest of Vranyo-Selo, in Hungary. The monastery, which was inhabited by eight monks who were believed to be wealthy, was attacked bv a band of brigands, bnt an alarm" having beeri given, a body or soldiers came to the rescue: The brigands endeavored to barricade themselves in the monastery and exchanged several shots with the soldiers, wno were more than an hour before they con Id force an entrance. When they did get in they found the monks lying gagged on the floor, but could rind no trace of the brigands. After the monks had been set at liberty, they informed their deliverers that the brigands had escaped by an underground passage leading from the cellar into the forest. The soldiers at once searched for the passage, while the monks went off to the chanel to give thanks for their delivery. The soldiers having explored and having failed to find the5 door of the passage came back to get one of the monks to act as their guide; but they were nowhere to he seen. In the course of further investigation, however, they found the deaJ bodies of the eight monks in a mall room, and the mystery was then solved. The brigands seeing that they could vnot escape, hadf murdered the monks and hidden their bodies in this room, having iirst stripped them of their clothes and put th m on thrtmselve?. Then they gagged one another to deceive the soldiers,and while the latter were searching the cellar they had made off to their fastness in the forest. : ; ; , -. . . . ' m

When Miriam was starred sue could

go q&ite a clip.

Over the closely trimmed lawn,

whose velvety furface gave forth no

sound as his feet pressed heavily upon

it, came a young man a strong, handsome fellow in the full flu3h,or straight flush whichever suits the reader best

-ot early manhood. Miriam did not see him, but the faithful watch-dog

did, and Came bouuding forth from his ken uel, grabbing, the young man blithely by the seat of the paiitsj and galloped awijy in merry glee to the back yard wiili his mouth full of gents' furit idling goods. . Fortuiiatyy for George W. Simpson the jocund day was swiftly waning, the gray-hooded night was spreading her sable mantle o'er all, including his p ints. Stepping still more softly over the lawn, he was on the porch and seated in a chair before Miriam was aware of his presence, and it was onjy wJhii . he,, spoke to her name in the dulcet toneS,thtt one only acquires by living in Chicago and trying V) talk while a tug H taking some, vessels tbr.mgh the river, that she kuew of his presence. Running quickly to him, she knelt by hist side, and placing her fair , young face close to his, said : "is it you, darMng?" Geojge never deceived a trusting he&rt. It is me," he said, admitting hii identity and lack of familiarity with LindlaylMurray at the same time. "I was so aw ful ly afraid you would not; come." continued the girl, "and papa acted as il he never would go, and really and truly I began to think that perhaps you had missed the train, and then ugain that you didn't love m- itt ail, dnd ever and ever so many d reatff ul , horrid thin gs that I was almost ready to cry. But you are here now, aren't you, darling?" With, a rib-cracsing )iug the young man testified to hi 5 presence. Then looking tenderly iu to the bU3 eyes, and kissing fondly the red lips, he

said : "Ate you sure you love me, little one?'; "Sure !" exclaimed the girl, starting to her feet. "Are you sure that you exist? Are you sure that the sun will rise to-morrow?" George Simeon did net reply. He had lived in Chicago many vears, ana had long since quit betting .n sme things. v "So sure," said Miriam, "as yoh pi anet that shines so- brightly in the eastern horizon will be there when another day shall have run its eource, so acre is it that my love fur you will never, can never, fade or fait tr." George liked this. He didn't know what horizon meant, and was a trifle buzy about planet, but when Miriam talked about theday running its course he was at home. He visited a running course every summer, and generally got his money on the wrong: horse. "I must test her love," he said softly ..to himself, and turning to the girl he said: "And would you prove your love, my own?" "Wou'd I, my darling? Try me; that is all I ask." Bending low over the tiny pink ear, George Simpson whispered into it a few earnest words, A rosy flush suffused Miriam's cheek as she ros, and without a word led George to her father's room.

On the 29th of September, 1;5, just sixteen years a ?o, .lames Baxter left Slone County, Michigan, with his wtfe intending to emigrate to Louisiana. Some place along the border be fell in with a man who gave his ns.me as It aac Young, and who obtain ed permission to join the Baxters:, as he claimed to be traveling in the name di

rection they were going.

Young was about 30, very plausible, and quickly ingratiated himself in the good graces of Baxter an d his wife. He confided to his companion) everything regarding his fluaneJal resources and future plans,and Baxter, hi return made a similar revelation. Among other things, he informed the young man that he had sold his farm for $2,000, and that he carried the money, in $20 gold pieces, in a belt strapped around his waist, Some time after this the emigrants camped one night at a point between

Dyke's Mill, La., apd Magnolia, Ark. The spot selected for a camp was at the head of a lonely glen, whieu was shaded on either side by tall pines and thickly carpeted with luxuriant grass. A spring of clear, cold water gushed from a ledge of rocks halfway dewn the glen, and a number of fallen pine logs furnished ampJe material for fuel. ..

Young, to quiet her fears, as he expressed it, started down the glen, saying he would hung him back. The woman waited i npafciently. One, two, threo"hours went by. yet neither appeared. Mrs, Baxter was how thoroughly frightened. She called loudly for her husband, but received bo response. Only tlie echo of her own voice came bach to her, lorne on the nirht wind, which swefct ..clown the valley and through the tops of the swaying tree3. She ventured down the glen, trembling, calling, listening; but she neither heard nor saw anything. Both her husband and his companion had disappeared as com iletely as if the earth had suddenly opened ami swallowed them up. Alioost distracted, she returned to the camp, where she paded to and fro

until morning came; then, laoun ting one of the horses, hastened to the near

est house, and soon had a body of men

scouring the country in eearcb of the

missing men. The search was coutin- .

ued nearly a week without finding any trace of Young or Baxter,' when it was

abaudoned. The men engaged iu it told Mrs. Baxter bluutlv that the af

fair was preconcerted between the two

men, and tnat her husband Had heartlessly deserted her... The wife so

strangely bereft would uot accept this

theory. She insisted that her husband

had been murdered bv Isaac Young,

rnd that time would show that she was not mistaken. ,

Acting 6tt this imposition she re

turned to her former ho'file, ard gather

ing ail her available means, instituted a thorough search. She advertised,

employed detectives, scattered haud bills with' aenrrtte descriptions of her

! husband and Young, btlt all to no pur

pose. Nothing came of it, and the affair seemed a mystery which nohu man skill could unravel.

Years went by, and still she re

A Classic Drunkard. If the Providence Journal states the fact correctly, the barkeeper was about to close up. He had said so several times,and had put out all the lights but one. The old fixtures had shook the sawdust from their feet and reluctantly directed their jfootsteps homeward. Only a stranger appeared, a dark, sad dened man, who sat demurely oil a stool and kept his thumbs revolving around each other like white mice turning in a wheel..When the coast was clear he stepped up to the bar and said softly : "May I whisper a word in your ear? ' . "You may, mister, if you vill be quick about it," replied the drink-maker, with his hand on the lamp-screw. ."I want you to fill me a flask of your best whisky for family sickness," said the stranger, drawing out an ancient wallet, with twenty fathoms of leather string wound around it, a well-worn wallet that looked as if all the waves and billows of bad luck had beat upon it, and gone over it and through it, rn1 flattened it and washed it out clean. The barman filled him up a pint, shoved down the cork until it squeaked, wiped the bottle dry and sat it upon the counter. The autumnal air is ge tting a trifle tartisb," soliloquized the stranger. "Would you have any obieotions to my taking a little liver padder from my bottle?" . , , He diled the tumbler qnile full, took it as he did paragoricin the days of his infancy, and then, remarked "Perhaps, on the whole, as the night has far wotted, and my family are on their spiral springs and in their trundles, you had better put my bottle away on the upper, shelf, and when Phoebus Apollo begins to center his golden prancers along the avenues of the purpling east, I will call for it, and you may then assess me the appropri ate amount of ducats." The barkeeper sprang over the bar and began to kick iiim. "What !" he said sweetly, "you kick me after I have drank? Don't you know better than that? Biick me with both feet I cannot feel you even then. Before I look that glass, if you had but shook j'our fist at me you would have wounded me hurt me; but now I scorn the physical punishment. Good-night," he said, as he stood on the doorstep. 1 I see by the shadow on the sidewalk that you have kicked me again. You should remember, my irascible publican, what the dear old poet said : 'Fate cannot harm rue now, I have dined to-day.' St. say. J. I have drunk to-night. Good-night, tavemer! How much the sparkling firmament looks, like a far-off city, lit up for a festal night! Farewell! I shall aee you later.

Tho True Ta,le of William Toil. Boomerang. William Tell ran a hay ranch near Bergelen about five hundred and eighty years ago. Tell had lived in the mounttunsall his Yi and shot chamois and chipmunks, with a cross-gun till ho was a bud man to stir up. At that time Switzerland was run principally by a lot of carpet-baggers from Austria, and Tell got down on them

about the year 1307. It seemed that

Tell wanted the Government contract to furnish hay at forty-five dollars a

ton for the year 1306, anil Gessler, who

was controlling tho patronage of

Switzerland, let the contract to. an

Lady Tricyclists?London Cor. Chicago Tribune. - American visitors to London this season can not fail to have noticed the number of ladies exercising on tricycles, not only in retired suburban neighborhoods, but a'so in the most crowded thoroughfares. Medical men have given this new feminine pastime their unqualified approval, and they declare this form. oV exercise to be in every way desirable. Of co"se the great question of dress arises; oid an enternrisine: firm of lady tailom have

just patented a most ingeniously con

trived costume, wmcu, wuue.- it may be used for or.imary wear, is specially adapted to meet the requirements of those Of the fair sex who adopt the tricycle as a mode of locomotion. When the l?.dy is seated on her tricycle, she bas merely to draw a pulley which gathers all the superfluous fullness ot the skirts out of the way of the wheels, aud, by letting down a fold concealed by the overskirt, an extra lengtla of seven or eight inches is obtained in the front, which aftords ample room for the working of the knees and effectually cover sthe feet. This ingenious and becoming costume is appropriately named t'ue -"Velocipedi eune."

A story comes to us from Bloomington. Allegheny county, Md., to the effect that a few days ago a freight engineer on the Baltimore and Ohio Bailroad had a "felling out" with his sweet-heart, who lived at or near that place, and that the damsel in revenge oiled the rails on the track in front of her swain's traiu which wasatruggliug up the seventeen-mile grade; It is 8aid.to .have taken the locomotive proper, the "helper" and several tons

ot sand to overcome the-effects of the

girl's stratagem. ...-m . m

Lotto? to Chicago Inter-Ocean. An elegant looking young lady arrived at the Grand Union last Sunday evening. When she entered the large office, which was well filled with gentlemen, Quite a stir ensued, and the general query of "ho is she?" followed, for that she was "Somebody" uo one doubted. Tall, elegant in figure, supple, and graceful 15 h'e movements was the newcomer. She had lovely face, lit by starry brown eyes, shaded by long curling lashes, and' under delicately penciled (nature's pencil) and sweeping brows, her nose was slightly aqui line, her mouth a thread of scarlet vel

vet, and he? complexion white rather than fair, was without a tinge of color. She wore a handsome', traveling costume and not very appropriately showy diamond jewelry. According to the nodular verdict she was the most beautiful woman who had yet been seen in Saratoga, and when she left the officb there was a promiscuous scramble for the register, wherein the unkn'own fair bald inscribed her name. Manly Curiosity was rewarded by finding the autograph "Miss Katherine Btokes," followed by iSfew York City. There were a; gocd many "men about town" piesenf,vho prided themselves upon -knowing who was who in in the great metropolis, but this time they were piqued while con-

i fessing their ignorance.- very soon it

transpired that the new arrival was hard to olease. None of the rooms

vacant suited her fancy.and finally she decided to take one of the expensive cottages belonging to' the' hotel and facing on the beautiful garden.

Much rushing of waiters and porters ensued. Two large trunks were

carried In, ham'pagne was - uncorked,

and an elaborate inncn ordered, and half an hour later two basfeetS of flowers as big as card tables arrived in. for her. i When she entered the vast dining room for dinner late that evening a sensation followed. In place of a dusty traveling df ess, the superb pink silk velvet, wi'tn' a lonlg train, that gave added heigBt and tf-ghit$ toiler figure. It was decoliette and showed1 a beauti

ful neck aud arms glittering with diamoildsf The dress was trimmed with quantities df lace, embroidered with silver, and in her darhy wavy hair the 1 lady wore a pin k camelia. She walked slowly down the avenue of shiuing wltfcr and dinner tables, thoroughly enjoying tlfo effect of her apparancSa. Everybody wa lyirzled

At. the same time she was evident f nfteT ; to hotel life, and knew how to make the waHeis wTalk. Ttie longer I looked at her the more convinced I was that I had seen that lovely face before, but where no amount o:f brain racking- would: tell me .. , ... . . Suddenly, While noticing her fctrong white handsi Cohered with rings almost

and as Yte departed tffe unconsciously gave a sotft of eiu6k , .with her tongue, as people do in driving.

It is, no exaggeration to say that the gentlerrieS Weht dray over her, and when ever she left her apart men is a throng gathered around her at a respectful distances Every time she was seen it was iu a different toUet, always costly, but sometimes a little too showy. Early Monday eveniug she ordered a coupe and went out to drive. Soon the vehicle returned empty, and when the driver was questioned by a foung banker, who flattered himself oh haying the talents of a Lecocq, the man replied that the lady had gone to Coup's circus. That settled the quesiionof her respectability, but nevertheless it did not deter a large number of the infatuated from following her footsteps. The great tents were crowded to suffocation, for that queer thing called fashion permits everybody to go in Saratoga. Tte Grand - union party looked in vain for the solitary Charmer, who eyeii in a Crowd could not escape the eye. She was nowhere to be seen, and perforce they must content themselves with the show. At laat "the gorgeous and magnificen fc pagean ty introducing numberless knights and brilliant, beautiful women," was over, and the baud struck up a stirring galop; the velvet curtain of the green-room was drawn, and out dashed a noble black horse, bearing on his bac k a lovely girl, in sii ver spa ngled white tarleran with a snowy plume in her hair. Behold the beauty of tne G::ind Union known to the public genevaHy as "pretty Kate StokeS.f Some people in the audience, felt raiher sold : some of the grand dames

GUITEAU'S INSANITY.

His Former Wife Interviewed the Subject She Expsesses

on the

Opinion Sane.

that He Was Perfectly

Leadyille (Col.) Herald., Now that the murdered President, after all his wTeeks of patient suffering and hoping against hope, has been laid in God's silent acre, until the last trump shall summon all men to rise and meet their Maker, attention naturally turns to his red-handed and cowardly assassin he who has made the people of this great nation feel that deep and heartfelt sorrow which only the loss of some near and dear one can cause. It is now pietty generally known that Guiteau's delenso will rest on tho plea of insanity, both before and at the time of shooting. It is also extensively known that a former wife of Guiteau's, who was divorced from him some time since, on the ground of cruelty, is at present residing; in this city. Surmising that this lady might be able to enlighten the public mind a little as to Guiteau's sanity, a Herald reporter called upon her last evening at her residence, on East Second street. Knocking at the door of the modest little dwelling, the re-

stock Mere absolutely their own, and their expectation is, that other holders, observing a decline in the price will, bef come alarmed and sell also, thus putting down the. price still mere and frightening still other- hold ers. They intend, of course, to buy enough at the lower scale of nuotations to deliver back what they

have borrowed, pocketing . tho difference. It sometimes, though rarely, ; happens that a few persons, discovering what the bears are about, and believing that they (the bears) are strong enough to stand a heavy loss without breaking, quietly by up all of a particular stock that exists. In order that the price may not be forced up while they are themselves buying, they lend stock

freely to the bears, and thus encourage the latter to sell. When they have secured all, or nearly all, of the particular stock that exists they call in their loans. The bears are then compelled to buy, and since no stock, or very little, is ior sale, the price can be forced

up to any figure at which the corueiing party choose to put it. That is what has happened to Hannibal and St. Joseph. The Shorts" mtrst come up and settle on. such terms as may be dictated to them. The last resort ivto leave the cornering party saddled with the whole issue of the stock in question, Whether they make or lose by the operation, will depend upon whether they can extort from tho bears more than enough to compensate them ror the loss they may incur in rebelling the stock to the general public. Most commonly tho cornering party, as well as the cornered, lose money which has gained meanwhile by the multitude, who have taken advantage of the high prices to sellout. For vhi3

reason corners have latterly been of

rare occurrence, J
