THE AMUNa KICKm

An interesting question has arisen in Randolph, Mass., as to the rights of property owners in the soil of the streets upon which their property abuts. The general doctrine is that the adjacent owner owns the fee to the middle of the subject, and the public has only the right of way so long as it is used for a street. In constructing a new street the selectmen of Randolph agreed with the contractor that he should have the soil which i was necessary to remove; but one of tliv owners of property on the street, disregarding the agreement on the part of the selectmen, has removed the loam from that portion of the street in front of his land. The contractor has brought suit and property owner s await the result with interest.

This great bell of Hung-wu, which has long lain half buried in the ground, has ah length been lifted by foreign machinery and hung in a pagoda built of iron by a foreign firm. According to prophecy, this bell was never to be lifted until China had entered upon a new career of prosperity. Gex Albekt Pike, the head of all the Masonic orders and rites in this country, is in his 80th year. He was born in Boston, and was graduated at Harvard, went west in 1831, served in the Mexican war, and was a Confederate brigadier in command of the Cherokee Indians, He is an old newspaper man, but has been practicing law in Washington for many years. Tb jst funds certainly are sometimes well applied. Thus, a fund of $20,000, bequeathed in 1860 by Jonathan Phillips to the city of Boston, the income of which is to be "annually expended to

adore and embellish the streets and

public places in said city," has given to the city fine statues of Josiah Quincy, John Winthrop, and Samuel Adams, and otherwise has been used for the adornment of the city. Two colored men, named Young and Garratt, have induced 011 colored men to locate upon Government land in Oklahoma, taking 160 acres each, 145,760 teres in alL They have laid out a town site near the center of the colony. The name of the town is Lincoln, located on the north bank of the Cimarron River, and is destined to be the corn ty seat, as they have five townships and are in the majority ten to one. " While the fishing schooner Hattie

D. was or thtf Banks one of her men ! caug ht a large halibut. The fish was of such large proportions that it took several of the crew to haul it aboard. ;

Upon opening the halibut a portion of a woman's hand, with the thumb and first and second fingers, was found in it. On the second finger was a plain gold band ring, on which were engraved the letters G. W. G. The ring is now in the Captain's possession. The only house ever built by George Washington at the capital city of the nat.on is still standing in Washington. It was originally a three-story brick, but when the street on which it stands was "graded two more stories were added, making it a five-story building, which is now used for a hotel. Some of the rooms are in pretty much the same condition as they were when occupied by Washington in 1792. A few old pieces of furniture are said to be stiJ secreted about the house.

In Bussia, Norway and Sweden, the people are wonderfully kind to animals and birds. A genuine affection exists between a man and his horse. The very sparrows will scarcely take the trouble to get out of your way even in "savage Bussia;" and once, when we had an al-fresco meal just outside of Copenhagen, the small birds were so tame thoy hopped around within a few feet of the table, and some of them took food out of our outstretched hand. All the horses in the North, though their coats are sometimes ragged and their shoes do not fit them with the nic ety we like and expect, are fat and well fed, and do long distances without much apparent effort. They are most intelligent, and will often, by low whinnies and other indications, show that they know what is being said to then, and keep up quite a conversation with their kindly and simple-hearted drivers. It would not be true to say that whips are not carried by the drosky men in Bussia, and by the directors of cariolles and other conveyances in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. But it would be true, and very much true, to say thatro London coachman or cab-driver would condescend to use one of the whips which are the custom in Northern latitudes with one of these you might tickle a horse if you tried very hard, but do what you would you certainly coald not hurt him.

The schooner Fannie Chase, owned by Lewis, Chase & Whitten, of Portland, Me., sailed into port the other day wi;b something unusual in its cargo. Just outside the harbor thr lookout saw a Iecuiiar substance floating in the water, and hauled it on board to get a better view of it. Then it was seen that the prize was a lump of ambergris. It filled two-thirds of a barrel, and is worth $25,000. The owners of the vessel will tace half the prize, ad the crew, numbering tVfieon, will take the other halt Mrs. Feaxcis Hodgson Bubnett relates tho daily experience of most liter-

Cuffy's Horn. Some years ago in Georgia that band of Christians known as Ascensionists were having a grand revival. One day, when the meeting was in full force, a storm came up and a young ger.tleman who was out hunting with his servant took refuge in the church door. Being curious to see the service the two hunters crept up into the gallery and there hid in a place where they could observe without being observed. Come, Lord, come; our robes are ready. Come, Lord, come," cried the preacher, while all present gave a loud A men. n Mar&a G aba, whispered Cuffy, lifting his. hunting horn to his mouth, "let me give dem jest or e toot." fcPut that horn down or I'll break your head, replied the master in a whisper. The horn dropped by Cuffy's side, and again the minister cried; "Come, Lord, come, we are all ready for Thy coming. Come, Lord, come. "Do, Marsa Gaba do jist leiame gib 'em jist one little toot," pleaded Cuffy, wetting his lips and raising his horn. "If you don't drop that horn, Cuffy, I'll whip you within an inch of your life, whispered the exasperated master. "Blow, Gabriel, blow; we're ready for His coming. Blow, Gabriel, blow," pleaded the minister. Cuffy could no longer resist the temptation to send a wild peal ringing from end to end of the church, but long before its last echo died away his master and himself were the only occupants of the church. "lse ready for de lickin', Marsa Gaba." said Cliffy, showing every tooth in his head, "fur I 'clare to gracious its worf two lickings to see de way common farm cattle kin get ober de ground wid skeared 'scensionists behind 'eca."

Hoitott Truthful 1 not From fr. UUulJaraeh AVe laii3 the following items from the lastissuo of the Arizona Kicker: It Has Fallkx. Ml. Wanamaker has refused, to appoint, us to the postmastership of this town. The blow has At length fallen. Honesty, integrity, Mierit, intelligence and cntlmiasin have gone for naught. A wall-eyed, humpbacked ignoramus, who can't spell gum. and can scarcely add 2 and 2, is retained in preference. I)o we turn the other cheek? Not much! The first thing we did after receiving the news last night was to burn up a vest-which was purchased at Wanamaker's ten years ago. We shall never, never buy another dud from his establishment. We ask our friends to make the same resolve. The Nero must be brought to terms. His haughty form must be rubbed in the dust. He must be given to understand that the bulwarks of American liberty still tower aloft, and that no free-born American can be trampled on with impunity. Sic Semper tyrannic! Which means that we have camped on his trail. Painful Accident Together with about twenty other gentlemen, we were sitting in front of the Crook House last Tuesday evening, when the Tucson staga suddenly drove up, having unexpectedly arrived fifteen minutes ahead of time. One of the outside passengers had the appearance of a detective, and there was a sudden scatteration of loungers. It was laughable to see Col. Jones, Maj. Wickham, Judge Perdue, Prof. Wise and others tumble over each other as they broke for the sage brush. An unfortunate accident occurred in this connection. The Hon. Timothy S hooks, late of Indiana, probably believing that he had been sent for for barn burning, or horse stealing, fell over a bench in his hurry to abscond and beoke his left leg, and it will probably be two months before he will be able to be about again. A Possible Mistake C1. Keho Jones, who was pulled up to a limb by the boys the other night as a warning that no snide games will be allowed in any gambling house in thi- bailiwick, has called at the Kicker office to protect that we were mistaken iu the way we sized him up in our local columns. He showed us letters of recommendation from prominent parties in Washington, Philadelphia and New York, and he exhibited the Testament given him by his mother twenty-three years ngo and worn over his heart ever since. We may possibly have been mistaken in writing the gentleman upas a forger, embezzler, bigamist and escaped convict, and in encouraging the boys to pull his neck as a warning. It so, we ro very sorry. The only way he can satisfy us ot his integrity is to frown jpon anything like a skin gamo in his establishment in the future. Sole Agent. We have been appointed sole agent in this town for the Kentucky Hemp Company, limited, and will be the only one handling their famous "No. 0" rope. This rope as most of our readers are aware, is made for and exclusivelv used as neckties for bad men. It will stand the greatest strain, run easier, lit tighter, And give more general satisfaction than any other haugingrope in the market. No matter what sort of a neck a man has, this rope settles to the right spot at once. We sell it in twenty foot lengths at $2 per length, and where more is wanted the price will be made satisfactory. Give as a call before purchasing elsewhere.

Theke Is One. In answer 'to "Cor

respondent" last week, who asked if

there was a railroad line running through this town, we replied that if such a line existed we had never heard of it in the two years of our stay. We now desire to inform him that there is a line a branch of the U. P. Koad and that it runs two trains per day and gives excellent service. The manager of the line, Mr. Ben Davis, called at our office yesterday and handed us an annual pass over the line, and we take pleasure iu saying that the cars are of the best make, the fare reasonable and that the line has done much to build up our town. "Not Yet. We have often been asked why we did not establish a Daily Kicker, and many individuals have promised us their hearty support. In the first place we are now running under one roof a great weekly newspaper, a harness shop, a grocery, a feed store and a great boot and shoe house, and wo haven't much spare time, and in the second place when we have auy monev to throw awav well do it bv . establishing a school of philosophy for Indians. We've got a good thing as it is, and we don't sigh for the whole earth." Detroit Free Press. Mother-Tongue. A writer in Wide-Awake remarks upon the pathetic way in which a subjugated people cling to their native tongue. And it is true that a people can never be said to be truly conquered so long as they refuse to speak the language of the conqueror. The Welshthat subdued yet unsubduable people have never ceased to speak Welsh. You will be told that they have already ceased to gpeak it; that the use of the language is fast dying out; but directly you draw near the boundaries of that portion of Great Britain, you begin to hear it. It is a formidable language in print, but easily managed by the tongue. In many Welsh families, especially in remote districts, it is the only language spoken. And when, a few. years since, tbe decree went out from London that in the Board schools iu Wales only English should be spoken, it fell hard upon the little folk who knew no othertongue. Try as hard as they might to express themselves in unfamiliar English, the familiar household words would drop from their lips. So a plan was hit upon to make them cease to speak Welah. If a child spoke a Welsh word, a "token" was given him. What shape this "token" took varied according to the school. It might be a fool's cap, it might be a printed slip attached to the clothing, or it might be simply a stiok tiat was to lie on the desk. Whatever it was, he kept it until a Welsh word dropped from the lips of a

! second child, when it was y.jed on tt:

toe latter. And so on through the session for the day. Whoever was so uu fortunate as to hold it when school closed at night, avos Hogged poor little fellow! However, the system, ns might have been expected, did not work ; it vas better suited to tho Dark Ages than to modern England. And so it was d. opped, and the small Welshman now chatters and recites in his own familiar tongua Clubbing Doesn't Kill. Capt. John Gunnor, in his further discussion of the New York police force in Medical Classics for August, says that the blow of a policeman's club usually produces contusion, especially when applied, as it generally is, to the body. In fact, ho goes on to say, for the purpose of disabling an opponent, o blow in the ribs is one of the most efficacious. It gives the recipient a sense of "goneness" in his inside, that takes up his entire attention for a few minutes to the exclusion of all desire to inflict bodily harm on the myrmidons of the law. Even after he recovers his breath he is more inclined to use it in denouncing police brutality, than to make any further personal experiments in that direction. If the blow falls on the head a contused wound may be produced. This, if severe, is sometimes accompanied by quite a copious hemorrhage, giving the wound a ghastly and sickening aspect. Sopaetimes, if tho stroke is given with great force, the wound may be not only contused, but also lacerate. This is about as much damage as the locust, or even the ebony or rosewood, is capable of inflicting; still when the weapon is swung with the full force of a powerful man excited by hand-to-hand lighting, or desperately defending himself against several armed assailants, a skull is sometimes fractured. A case of this kind is, at times, peculiarly dangerous, as tho following incident will show: A mail was brought to the stationhouse apparently with nothing worse under his hat than a "brick." There was no external appearance of any wound. He was partially unconscious, but revived sufficiently to give his name and address, and was put into a cell. In the morning he was taken to court, paid his fine, and was released He was about the streets for several day?, but, finally, was obliged to take to his bed and send for a physician, on account of trouble with his head. A close examination then, for the first time, revealed the fact that his skull was fractured. In spite of the doctor's efforts, the man died. This is, of course, a very unusual case, but it shows how great should be the care of tho surgeon in examining what may seem to be a slight wound, or no wound whatever, provided he knows that the blow has been struck. In the above case the fracture was not felt until inflammation had set in around it, and exudation had caused a pressure on the brain. This doe not generally occur until twenty -four hours have elapsed, and, as in the above case, it may not be felt for forty-eight hours or more. It is dangerous to neglect even ordinary contused wounds, erysipelas being liable to set in. The War is not Oven The war's hardly over yet," said a gentleman to the Talking Machine the other day. "I see by the papers that a man picked up a rusty army revolver on Marye's Heights, opposite Harper's Ferry the other day.. It had probably lain there exposed to the weather for a quarter of a century, yet when he went

to fooling with it it went off and shot him through the body. It is barely possible that a cartridge might remain good that length of time, but not at all probable. "Some five years after the war I was removing bodies from James' island, on the South Carolina coast, to Beaufort. They were the remains of U nion soldiers killed at the battle of Secession ville, in which the Federal forces were worsted. My escort was an Ex-Con federate officer who had been in that battle. We came to a small earthwork, hardly larger than a rifle pit. A lot of negroes were hoeing cotton near by and they came over to see what our party was doing. w 'Here,' said the officer, pointing to a certain corner of the pit, 'I planted a torpedo with a percussion exploder. It was merely a lager beer keg filled with gun powder "One of the negroes, out of curiosity, began to dig in the corner with his hoe. We turned and walked toward our boat. These cotton hoes are broad, heavy, long-handled affairs which the negroes use with considerable vigor and skill. We had hardly reached the boat before there was a tremendous explosion. Fragments of the negro were flying through the air, part of his body lodging in the trees. We turned back and found that the negro had evidently struck the percussion with his hoe, and the torpedo had exploded, killing him and two other field hands who were standing by. Repeatedly people were killed all over the South insimilar ways for years after the war. I remember of an old colored woman who had gathered four heavy shells from some battlefield. They had failed to explode, and she used them to support her wash-kettle over an open fire. One day the fire was unusually hot and the shells exploded. The first sent the kettle, clothes, water and ail into the next county; the second knocked down half her cabin; the other two promiscuously devastated the neighborhood. Strangely enough, the ld woman was uninjured, though she was within three rods of the fire when ihe battery let go." Washington Fost. Possible but Doubtful. Mrs. Solid, who is stout and not very tall, has a daughter who is tall and rather slender. Now. if there is anything about which Mrs. Solid is sensitive it is avoirdupois; and when the spirit of mischief enters one of her family it is apt to find this sensitive spot before its work is done. The other day this good lady's tall aud agile daughter took occasion to rail at her proportions, "I don't care, Julia' exclaimed her mother, "when you re as big as I am you'll be a good deal bigger."

A Castle Garden. The following, from the pen of John W. Overall, of the New York Mercury

is the initiatory step towards spiritual izing Castle Garden: I Drop in at Cas ;le Garden. What a

promiscuous mmtiuUue ot people or various races, manners, customs and divers mental and spiritual peculiarities! Here and there are persons who seem to have little intelligence and small aspirations. Some, again, are almost brutal in their natures. They have been, storm-tossed and were glad to see the harbor light flash out in the bay. These people have entered a new world. They will scatter over tbe vast country, and those who are progressive go on the prosperous but toilsome road of life, while tiiose who are animal must learn that progress is the rule in this new land ar;d may go forward or be left in the mire of helplessness, Tho brightest, the most spiritual and intellectual

and the most affiliative came over in t-m cabin instead of the steerage. They will go forward rapidly. Now, there is,, so to speak, a vast spirit Castle Garden, all alive with disembodied immigrants pressing into another and a vaster new world. Disembodied means the dropping of the piesent personal clothing of flesh for the soul form and yet preserving both personality and individuality. Over the silent waters came these spirits of men and women to this Castle Garden. Thev are to scatter over the endless areas o:: the other new hemisphere. The progressive will go to the higher planes of life, the half-spiritualized to the lower planes, while the animalized, if not re-embodied for a further earth experience, go the lower planes. As all seismatic, atmospheric and personal disturbances in this' world seek rest in equilibration, so also every phase of progress in the, spiritual world has the same purpose. Our world is natural; the spiritual world is in every way analogous. Its people, scenery and institutions are similar to ours. It is but a higher ar d greater extension, and yet there are still higher and greater extensions called heavens. Does the immigrant to these United States wish to revisit his or her parent land? Do not such as car. revisit Europe? Are there :not attractions over the ocean? Immigrants come here to better their condition. The spiritual immigrant goes into the next world to better his condition. H e does not go to the other world voluntarily as he comes to America. Nevermind that; the fact is the same. Disembodied or disincamated spirits do return to our earth, and there have been millions of witnesses before and since Moi;es and Elias stood .on the Mount of Transfiguration. The earth will always attract many of them. Wouldn't Marry Them. A marriage that was a failure varied the routine of business in the Mayor's office yesterday. The bride-expectant was ll and wore a blue dress and brown hair and eyes, with sea-green ostrich feathers iu her summer bonnet. The young man who led her to the altar otherwise to the Mayor's desk was also 19, and wore a clean face and an expression f bashfulness, and a few other things. They had come from across, the border to celebrate their nuptials, he beiiug a Toronto stenographer, and she a belle of St. Catharines, Ont. They were asked the usual questions,, and it was learned that, their names were John B. McCann and Savah F. Robinson. During the examination Sarah smirked and poked John's shoes with her parasol, and hid behind the newspaper she was trying to read the wrong side up. Do your father and mother consent to your marriage?" asked the Mayor of tho groom. "I haven't any," was the reply. "Does your guardian? "I haven't any guardian." "What, no guardian?" 'No, I am all alone," said he, with a glance at the girl that meant he would not be so long "Do your parents consent?" to the young woman. "They wouldn't care if they knew." "You are both minors, under age, said His Honor. "That don't make any difference, expostulated the young man. " Yes, it does make a good deal of difterence in the eves of the

law. I'm inclined to think, went on the Mayor, " that this is an elopement; that you are off on a holiday and want to have a good time, so you think you'll get married, no matter whether you're orry for it after or not. No, I don't think I can perform the ceremony." 'Oh, go on. Y'ou might as well do it. It won't hurt you any, you know," T do not look at it in that way. 1 have to do what I think is. my duty." Well, won't you do it, th!m?" His Honor shook his head, and the couple marched out of the office, the would-be bridegroom with a backward wave of his hand as much as to sav,

THE WHITE SLATE TKaUE.

Fair Circassian ivmn Mill Sola to nppty Turkish Hftitiinft. lime. Paschkotf, w ho has recently visited the old city of Siuopoon the north era coast of Asia Minor, found there ft few wealthy Turks, the inmates ol whose household, she says, are beauti ful women of Gircassia. These favorites of the harem are attended not onlj by black slaves of both sexes from the Soudan, but also by older and less comely women from their own isountry. All are slaves, bought for trade good or cash, the more fortunate among them co live in luxury and idleness and the others to perform the menial services of the household. In spite of Kussia's repeated pjohibitions of the white slave trade of Gircassia it still seems to flourish. Some years ago it was reported that there waa euch a glut in the Circassian slave girl market in Constantinople that prices had fallen about three fourths. Mme. Paschkotf has given some attention to the means by which the supply of white slaves is maintained. r The trade would probably ceae entirely were it not that it is the highest -ambition of many a fair Circassian to become an inmate of some luxurious harem far away from her own land There is among the Circassians an unwritten law that no girl shall be sold without her consent, and the fact is that . many of them are eager to be sold, and so their fathers do not hesitate long to accept any tempting offer which tbe agents from the slave marts may make. As llussian subjects Circassian girla . have no trouble in journeying under the escort of their purchasers to Batoum, tho Black Sea port of the Caucasus. Only one to three are taken there at ft time by an agent, and, if need be, they oan assume to be members of his family. In the harem of some important Mohammedan at Batoum the destination of tho girls is decided, and in very small parties they are taken to one ot another market in the dominions ol Turkey. It has been a part of the policy of Bussia to profess respect for tb usage of her Mohammedan subjects. No surveillance worth mentioning is maintained by Bussia over the thousands of hareins among the Mohamme dans of that vast empire. It is there fore easy at Batoum to negotiate for the purchase and sale of these girls ; and so long as the trade is quietly conducted Bnssian oflicials seem to wink at violations of law of which they can not be ignorant, and thus the harems of Turkey are still supplied with their chief exn meats. New York Sun. A Wayward Child Wife. The strange actions of a pretty young girl, bedecked with diamonds and other gems until she fairly shone, and the petulant manner in which she treated the middle-aged geutleraan with whom she had arrived on the Santa Fe California express, attracted much attention at the Union station here last evening, says a Kansas City dispatch. Jihen the gentleman spoke to her she scolded him, stamped her foot and gave other expressions of anger. Finally she left him and went to another part of th room. A few minutes later on a women known as a procuress joinod her, and iu a few minutes the two started out of the waiting room. The gentleman called on Police Sergeant Burjgess and forced the girl to re-enter the ladies' waiting room. The gentleman then got the depot janitress to guard the girl from the adventuress, and told tbe following stnge &tory ; ! His name was Bobert Deering of ' Lexington., Ky., where he was amply provided with money and comforts. The girl was not his daughter, as all had supposed, but his wife, though she was not ret 16 years of age. He' had been a widower for several years. Two years ago he went to Los Angela for his health. There he became acquainted with Emma, his wife. A number of letters passed between them on his return home, and he went to California last spring to marry her. Shortly after their marriage his young wife be came restless, and once, after he had rebuked her about something, she ran away, taking withher a diamond neck lace valued at $1,000. which she sold for a trifle. He instituted search, found her, end persuaded her to return to him. H then showered upon her diamond ear rings, bracelets and other jewelry. Oa the train to this city 6he became ao quainted with two women, who ap peared to think a great deal of Iter, The porter on the train told him that these women were low poople, and he ordered his wife to leave them. She refused, but on his threatening to have the women arrested, he persuaded her to leave them. Before this, however, she gave them a small jeweled locket as a souvenir and her address. The child wife told the janitress that her husband was too strict, and would not let her do as she ploased. One Use for the Telegraph. A Chicago man used the telegraph the Qther day in an odd way. A iisi tor whom he had met frequently iu New York stepped into his office. H was business as well as inclination to be exceedingly cordial to the New Yorker, but for the life of him he could not recall his visitor's name. In the midst of the conversation the Chicago maa was reminded of a telegram he had forgotten to send. Pulling out a blank he sent the following to his New York house: u What's the name of Jcokin's head man? Cau't recall it He is hee." They chatted along for half an hour, when the answer came. It read "Siinp kins.H "And now, Mr. Simpkins, it is about about time for lunch," remarked the Chicago man. "We'll go ever to the club. I want you to meet some friends of mine there.
