Jtimne mere once uvea a young knight who had jast returned from the wars and married his cousin Yseult. The bride waa beautiful and yonng. The blended tints of the lily and the rose are not mor<j lovely than was the delicate bloom of the girlish chatelaine. After a time a baby son was given to the cavalier, and, as you may well think, this arrival made no end of rejoicings in the old chateau, for the new oomer was the one link that bound still closer the knight and the fair Yseult. All the friends of the happy oonple were now bidden to the estate, not for getting a certain magician who lived on the other bank of the river, and whose life had once npon a time been saved by the knight. Turning toward the frail creature after his baptism, the magician said: "Thou wilt be brave and love thy parents, long years will be thine, and great strength and riches, and great beauty shall not be wanting, but"? The monrioion r\ "But what?" aaked the whole circle of listeners, whose curiosity was raised to tbe highest pitch. "Bat thou wilt be a hunchback," was the sad answer. Yseult cried out, while her husband grew pale with anger. 1 " So it must be," said the magioian, spreading his hand toward the child. Yseult snatched up her bady?but it was too late?its little back was already deformed. 4 But the young husband and wife re- ; solved to hide their misfortune ; and the j . better to accomplish this, they prayed i e God to send them another son. In an-1 t other year their prayer was granted. The deformed boy was given entirely ' to the core of an old servant, who for '* tunately was devoted to him; so he grew apace in his poor, crooked way. n a? it. . i j iL oomeiimes ine oepuniiu prouu mum er, moved by an impulse of natural af fection, came on tip-toe to the door of the boy's ohamber, praying God to give her courage to embrace her son, but when she saw the little fellow with the hump on his back, crouched in a corner, she always sprang back, murmuring : "Was there ever anything so dreadful ? : I cannot, cannot kiss Lim!" " Who is the lady who looks in at my } door t" once asked the boy of the old \ servant. " Your mother," was the reply. " And what is a mother?" " She who brought you into the j world, my boy." "Why, thrn, does she not love me if ! I am her child ? It see us to me that ! she should care for her own flesh and blood." "She does not oare for you because | you are hunchbacked." " la it wrong, then, for me to oarry j this hump?" " No, but it is a misfortune, and i wrong doing is pardoned of toner than misfortone." " Then trcause my bock is round, in stead of straight, I am not to be loved?" "It seems uc, my poor child." " But you love me, though." " Yes, with all my heart." " Bnt why?" " Just because you are unfortunate.'* j 'And why do yon, a stranger, love j me for that wh ch causes my mother, j who should care for me most, to hate ' the sight of me?" JL iiC WUliU iO DU ilUiVlU, UkJ L/V/J "Then the world is like me, illy made," replied Herman, with a sad smile. As the boy grew, his infirmity also in creased, until he was frightfully deform ed, while hi* brother sprang up into a beautiful lad, so beautiful that they called him Phabus. This young gen tleman was quite aware of his good !?oks, and passed wholo hours in march ing up and down before a mirror admir ing himself. The little hunchback also looked in his mirror, but only to laugh at his poor plight. One day he saw some children playing in the oourt of the castle, and said: " I should like to play, too." " Go down then," said the old ser rant. The child ran off eagerly, but a few minutes after, ho came back, his eyes full of tears. " What has happened ?" demanded the old man. "They made fun of me and threw stones You see I am wound ed, but that is nothing. And then they called me a bad name?'Esop.' What does it mean i " Esop is the name of a man." " 0/ a wicked man. Is it not?" "No, Master Herman. Esop was a rery good man." " Why then did they call me Esop ?" " Because he was a hunchback like yon." "And his hump did not prevent his growing to be a great man ?" "No." " But what did he do ?" " He wrote fables, in which the man who was physically deformed made moral deformity ridiculous." " He was right. And was he born rich ?" " No, he was a slav " "Why, then, should I complain, I who am free and rich ? I want to read these fables, it will amuse me more than playing with cluldren who throw stones at me." T_e old servant started off to find the book of fables. The boy was so do lighted with "Esop" that for several nights he hardly slept Then he tried to expl in to his companion what he understood of the meaningof the fables, and the servant found that his ideas were very good. "So,"said Herman, "my hump does not prevent my understanding what this 1 great man meant." 1 "No, indeed." " Are there mere books like this f I don't mean my study books, you know t" ] "Oh, yes; there are a great many 1 more." I " You will bring me seme, then!" " Well, what shall I bring t" I " No matter, so that they are good; and, mind you, you must always call me i Esop." The servant obeyed, and little by lit tle Esop, as he was thenoeforward called, read through his father's library. He was content with his student life, j until one day, when he happened to see a handsome young knight, splendidly mounted, galloping across the oountry. " Who is that chevalier who sits his i horse so gallantly f" "Your brother." '' But I have never seen my brother." 1 " He does not want to see you." i "And why!" " Because you are a hunohbaok." "Ah I I had forgotten. And where 1 ia Via ?nm!ni> frnm f " From the chateau that you see from the window." " And what was he doing there f" "He went there to make himself agreeable to the lady whom he wishes to marry." " And she loves him ?" " She will oertainly love him, for he is so handsome, and then he rides splen didly." "And is he wise?" "Not overmuch; indeed, he knows very little. Your mother has often told him that he was so beautiful that he needed nothing besides to make him loved." " At what age do people marry ?" " At twenty, if one wishes." " Well, I want to De married." I " To whom ?" "No matter whom. Have me some fine clothes made, and tell them to sad dle for me a magnificent horse. I am going to ride. So they made Esop a mantle embroidered with gold, and led but a splendidly caparisoned Arabian. He eagerly donned his handsome suit, sprang on his horse, and then started off to seek his fortunes. It was scarcely two hours after when the boy returned bitterly weeping, his elegant mantle sadly torn and oovered with mud. " What is the matter ?" my poor mas ter 1" oried his servant. " Oh ! I am very miserable." "What has happened t" " I have seen a beautiful young girl, rosy as the dawn, and serene as the star ry night. She was at her balcony when I passed, so I looked at her with eyes full of admiration. I joined my hands in supplication. I would have given my life for her. But when she saw me she burst into laughter; then I spurred my horse so fast that I fell off and rolled on to my back." " You have hurt yourself 1" " Never mind that. The laugh of the young girl has wounded me so that 1 feel nothing else. My friend, I want to die." " That is not possible. *f W h xr nnf. ?" ?" First, because you would be lost for killing yourself, aud then you have still many years to live." " Who says so?" "The magioian." "What magician?" Then the old servant told the boy the history of his birth and baptism, and the * * ? " -M 1- 11 iamuy couucii uver ma cruuie. j " What will become of me then ?' said poor Eop. "Shall I give you j some advice?" continued the kindly old r man. "As you cannot enjoy the pleas- t ures that your brother lives for, you r must seek comfort elsewhere; your soul j is pure and good though your bo<1y i" ( deformed, so if you learn the art of } charming through your eoul the best j men will envy you the gift." " Well, in my place what would you ? do?" "I would learn to play the flute." 1 "What, blow into a bit of wood like * blind becsror ! That would make mv ( checks as ugly as my back." " It is, however, a fine instrument." " But there must be others." "Yes; there is the harp." What is that like?" When the old man explained, Esop said : *1 Bring me a harp!" He soou learned to express himself in aong, while his fingers produced the sweetest musical accompaniments to the equally lovely voice. His heart would swell with the loftiest strains, while his sapphire eyes glistened with emotion. Grief hall made him a poet, and his love soon found voioe in delicious bal lads, written in praise of the young girl that he had seen on the balcony. When he finished Binging, hn would allow hia head to droop in his hands, while he dreamed. Some one knocked at the door. "Who sings here?" said a sweet voice. " It is I," said poor Esop. " And who arc yon?" " I am the elder son of the count." " Ah! poorohild, will you ever for give me?" said the retreating voice. "Who is the woman that speaks so sadly ?" demanded the young mrfn. "It is a repentant mother," replied f.ha uniTrnnt. ! "She repents of what?" " Of having so long neglected her ison." "It is my mother, then ?" " Yen, my po^r boy." "Ah! it is a blessed day! She speaks to me at last." Afterward, while Esop sat dreaming at the window, he saw the maids of the countess scattering flowers on his usual walk. The next day he took his harp and be gan a new song, but it was gayer than that of the day bofore. One might have thought that he was basking in his mother's smiles. Scarcely had he fin ished his song when some one knocked at the door. " Who is there 1" he asked. " I, your brother," replied a cross voice. "And what will you?" " I wish that you would be quiet. My ladylove is here, and yonr song will an- j noy her." Having said this, my Lord rilCJBUUtt renu UWU tuu gmuu cxuv/wu, where his father and mother, with the Lady Angelique, waited him. "'Where have you been?" said the young girl, poutingly. i "I have been to silence the fellow who was singing." ! " Why have you done that ?" " Because I thought the noise would annoy you." "On the oontmry,-I like it very J much. It is ravishing. Can you net i : sing like that ?" " No. Why should I?" "Because I am determined that I! ; will not marry you until you can." Phoebus did not know what to do, for I I it was simply impossible for him to put' together two ideas in a song, or to sing j a single note. Always thinking of his ! body, he had quite forgotten his mind. He was beautiful as a peacock, and stupid as a goose. All this time Esop was in tears, for it was venr hard that the moment he be gan to feel some pleasure in singing this brother should command him to refrain from it. Phoebus knooked again at the door. "Who is it?" said Esop. " It is I, Phoebus, yonr brother." "What do you want with me, now that you call me brother' for the first time ?" " I am oome to ask a favor." "Enter." Phcabus shut the door, and though he had oome to demand a servioe of his brother, he oould not help laughing at the sad look of tke hunchback. "What can I do for you ?" said Esop, jently. " I want you to teach me to sing the 3ong that you have juBt finished." " The one that you forbade?" " Yes," said Photbus, blushing. " Why do you want to know it?" " Because the lady of my love will not marry me until I can sing as you do," "And who is this lady?" "Her name is Angelique." "How, doeB she live in the chateau ihat I can see from the window?" "Yes." "Then she is the young girl who laughed the other day, as I was passing inder the balcony ?" "Yes, I was there." "And you did not beg her to desist !rom laughing at your brother ?" " No, indeed; I laughed with her, pou looked so droll in your fine clothes irith that hump on your back." " And you really want to learn my long ?" "And why not?" " Because it is only the unhappy that ring as I do." "Good gracious! I don't to pay ;hat price for your songs." " But think. If you indeed wish to ring like me, I must give you my hump, [t is my music box." " No, thanks, I would be too ugly." Fhobus sought Angelique and told ler of the hard conditions that his brother had made if he wished to learn a sing. " Aooept them," said Angelique. "How, you are willing to marry a lunchbaokf" "Since it is the only price that he will ake for his gift." "But you will hate me when I am leformed." "Am I not beautiful enough for >oth?" said the girl, " and I do believe hat I prefer the beautv of intelligence o mere outward grace.' "But you laughed yourself at the mnchback when he rode by." " Yes ; but I had not heard him sing. 11 had, I should have pitied him first, md loved him afterward. Do you really ove mer" "Yes." " Well, go and learn to sing." " What a foolish fancy." "Make haste, or I shall never marry rou." Phoebus ran again to his brother. ' Give me your hump J" he exclaimed. " Why so." " Because you must." . " Does your lady consent to marry a mnchback?" "Yes." " Then I shall keep my hump." " Keep it?" " Certainly." " Bnt I want it?I must have it." " Not so. I have kept it through sor ow, and now that it promises love, I irill nnt r>ftrfc with it." " What do you mean ?" " You say that the lady will marry a ] mnchback, provided he sings as I do ?" " Yes." " Well, I shall not part with the inmp. I shall marry the lady myself.' Phwbus stood aghast Esop loft the oom and sought Acgelique, and, kneei ng at her feet, he sang his third song, uJJ of love an 1 tenderness. He sang of a lovely lake shadowed by he night, which felt the first rays of the norning sun, and which moved the loit srer on its banks to trust himself to its jentie rocking. "Before seeing you," he song said, "my soul was this sbad >wed lake, for all was dark in my life, fou are here, and now I smile as did the ake at the first rays of light." "Sing again," said the girL "You ire beautiful as Apollo the divine." The count and countess fell on their ? Ua#a?a 1>y ULAtfCO UCiUiO (UCli twj. At tliis moment Theos appeared sud lenly, after the manner of magicians. Do you see now, dear knight., why I jave the hump to your son ? If ho had lad only the gifts wished for him by his cinsmen he would have been like your >ther boy. This deformity was a mis ortune, and misfortune uluua <\iu make nen thoroughly great, for it constrains ts children to strive to overcome an un ;oward fate; a struggle which ends in j lower. Your child has suffered; his | sufferings have made him a poet. The beauty of his spirit has caused this poung girl to forgot his deformity of aody. Is the oharm in his face ? No, rir knight, it is rather in his mind and lis soul. When one reads delightful ooetry or grand thoughts, or when one istens to divine music, is it ever asked I the poet, philosopher, or musician be nandsome or deformed ? Esop was hunchbacked, Horace was blind, and both lrnve charmed the world as your aoy has charmed Angelique. Beautiful is Phoebus is, he can never match his brother in such a race. Bat I owe you i life, sir knight, and I wish to dis ;harge my obligation. Phoebus will have grace and beauty. He will don the irmor of his father and become a valiant lava lier, and ride forth and win re UUWI1* "And when lie returns he shall marry my twin sister," said Angelique. A week after Esop married Angeliqne. Theos stood near him at the altar, and is he turned to pass out of the chapel with hia bride the good magician laid a Land fondly on hia shoulder, and imme diately after the peasants who had come to see the wedding said wonderingly among themoelves: " What is this story that we have heard about an ugly hump ? Why, the beautiful young RDigiii is penecuy siraignt i The Turkish Provinces The ornelties praoticed by the Turks towards the poor creaturosinthe insurrec tionary provinces, not only in battle and in the places thoy have called their homes, but during their flights from their persecutors, are simply mon Btrouf. An eye-witness of one of these Btampedes depicts the soene in colors which revive the memory of modi?val horrors. He says: Often on the op posite banks Turks appeared, who pur sued the fugitives and fired at them. Balls reached them sometimes in the middle of the river, and even fell upon our road. With an opera glass I saw a boat full of women and children that Beamed to be sinking. At A gram I found that it was only too true, and there I also heard this other incident ? the same day a largo boat full of people reached the Austrian bank of the river after being fired at, all red with blood. On the steamer I was told that nine oorpses had been seen headless near Sviniar, between Brod and Gradishka. Beyond Donbitza I saw bodies floating on the water headless, and clothed in women's garments. People told mo that a few days before so many corpses had been floating about that the air was completely infeeted. Of refugees of this alass there are reported to be between 6,000 and 7,000 in the district of Ragusa alone. And theBe are perhaps tho most fortunate of all, Bince they are takeu care of by the authorities there and by voluntary corn r tit tees of ladies. La other districts the sufferings of the poor creatures are reported to be severe from famine, sickness and ex- ( flf posure. [E WILLIAMSBURGH HORROR. e Worklnnann Killed by Another and Chopped to Piece*-A Terrible Story. Ihe mystery of the murder of Wil m W. Simmons, the unfortunate iron irker whose severed head was found a Greenpoint lumber yard, has been and completely unraveled. The lrderis one of the most horrible in 3 annals of homicidal crime in this untry. In many of its features it will nind the reader of the Parkman igedy in Boston, although the present me possesses more ghastliness in its tlines. rhe unfortunate victim in this case, appears, was murdered by one of his low workmen, named Andreas Fuohs, the domicile of the latter, in the pres oe of his little step-daughter, and then 3 body was haoked to pieoeB and con ilfld in vflrions Darts of the two rooms uupied bythe murderer's family. William W. Simmons, the murdered in, had been, it seems, living a sort of uble life. Ostensibly he was a man correct habits, except that he drank jasionally, although not to excess, s wife and children lived at Derby, nn., where he visited them occasion al his work keeping him a resident Williamsburgh. He was free-hearted, id to ohildren and always spoke well his family, and seemed to idolize his n children ; but absence from them 1 broken down the barriers of virtue, 1 he had maintained a liaison with the le of the man who killed him. At least it is the assertion of his murderer. Dn Thursday Simmons left his house 1 visited that of Fuchs. He found > ^nnoioHnnr rvf "fSYlnVia ftTld hl'lt 'e, formerly a Mrs. Kehoe, and her tighter Helen, partaking of some 3r. In response to Fuchs' invitation, nmons also drank some of the beer. 1 then gave Fuchs money to get >re; he also presented little Helen ;h a doll he had purchased for her. ohs was gone but a few moments, and er his return they drank beer and indy, of which he had a quantity in ) house, until both the men and the man were somewhat stupefied, rhe statements of what occurred ireafter are somewhat conflicting, but s. Fuchs becoming intoxicated, was her husband and daughter taken to ], falling on the way and scratching r face. When she had been laid wn Fuchs returned to Simmons, who s then still more under the influenoe liquor, and pulled him off the ohair. len he was prone on the floor Fuchs ) ueok with a hatchet, and so killed q, tlio little girl witnessing^ the terri* i tragedy. When Fuchs found that victim had ceased to breathe, he Bent t child to bed and, taking a heavy nk of brandy, also retired himself 1 went to sleep. The body of the Lrdered man remained on the floor of ) kitchen, jnst where ,it had fallen in ith. The blood flowed from the flatly wounds inflicted by the hatchet til the oorpse stiffened and grew rigid f.Vio ailonf honr>* nf the niffht. Che acene was a peculiarly horrible s. On the bed lay the murderer in i drunken sleep by the side of his :o, who was also sleeping away the acts of her debauch. At the foot of j bed lay the innocent little child, ose dreams were undisturbed by the jadful crime her eyes had witnessed, nost too young to know that her step-! her had taken the life of a fellow lature, she lay there the only relief to i gloomy and horrible picture. In the ler room, only a few feet distant, the iy of the murdered man lay motion s in death. The silence of night was disturbed, and dreadful as the crime a, and loudly as it called for retribu n, no human voice was heard, and ) neighbors remained in ignorance of j tragedy which had just been perpe ted in their midst. The solitary liceman went his lonely rounds un lscious of the necessity for his action, 3 as he tried the street doors and tched to prevent crime, he little .im inHii that so crreat an offense against | i laws of God and man had been j icted. No man living knew of the me which was to horrify the entire nmunity on the morrow of its discov and the murderer slept his drunken ep unmolested and unharmed. Sel tn has so terrible a scene been pre lted, and fiction never realized its rrible features. File morning vliile Fachs was still e<;p, the child Helen, who is only ;ht years old, awakened her mother i told her what had been clone Dy ner pfather. She also told her mother kt had it not been for her own influ je she (Mrs. Fuchs) wonld have ired the fate of Simmons. Mrs. chs arose f*om her bed much excited, 1 on going into the kitchen was hor ed by seeing the oorpse of Simmons g on the floor, between the stove and > table. The woman, frenzied with rror and excitement, began to moan 3 wring her hands, exolaiming: " We ill all be hung; we shall all be hung." I >r cries awoke Fuchs, who immediate-1 got up and dragged the body of his ! stim ihto the bedroom, Baying as he I i so: "Oh, no; I'll make it all j :ht." The body being placed in the bed )m Fuclis ordered his wife to get iakfast, which being prepared the nily sat down to the table and ate Eirtily, nndistnrbed by the presence of 5 corpse in the next room or the blood it lay on tne floor at their side. As 3n as the meal was over Fuchs gather together some knives, a hatchet and aw, with which he ooolly proceeded cut up the body. His horrible work a unskillfully done, and as he hacked d hewed at the lifeless remains, his fe and step-child remained in the xjhen; but now and then the woman d child peeped into the bedroom and .tched the ghastly work with wonder j eyes. . To this they were prompted the sound of the tools used by the ?J? - * " Tnnlio /?nfr. f.Vio Vinrlv nn lrue r r? ao x~ uuu? ??? ?Mv ?r hid the pieces iu boxes and pails, and iced these nnder the bed and in other rte of the two rooms. The body thus disposed of for the ae being, Fuchs went to the shop and ied if he should light up the fire for 3 forge. Fe was told of ceurse to do but the fact of Simmons' absence s such a strange matter that he was rt instructed t? run arennd and see iere Simmons ^as. In a few momenta returned and said that Mrs. Beeck, th whom Simmons boarded, had not sn him since the previous evening at i? and that she did not know lere he was. Fuchs then went home, the work oould not go on without nmons' presence. That night the family again slept in it chamber, with the terrible evidence the crime around them, sleep having en obtained through drinking beer d brandy. Next morning work was jommenced on the remains. The skin a stripped off portions of the flesh, a entire trunk was flayed, the flesh cut ; the ribs and placed in a wooden pail, d legs and arms partially flayed were iden in an old trunk, while the abdo 5n and entrails were placed in a large i wash boiler at the foot of the bed. rs. Fuchs meanwhile, as if to deceive y casual caller, purchased a jar of ckled pork, which was ostentatiously splayed in the kitchen, so that if any ;ly questions were asked she could say at her husband was only cutting up a g to pickle, the resemblance to human ?h aiding in lhe deception. * The head, however, caused the great est trouble. Fucha did not know what to do with it, so, wrapping it up in a newspaper, he placed it in a basket, threw a brown towel over it and went out al;out twelvo o'clock, walking to Milton street, Gre?npoint, where h? carafullT placed the nead behind the pile of lumber, where it was discovered two or three hours afterward. Fuohs having gotten rid of the head, and hoping that he was unobserved, returned home, and after the purchase and drink ing of a quart of beer resumed his hor rid work 01 concealment by digging a hole in the hearth the size of the chim ney, the dirt from which he carried into the yard and carefully laid it along the front of the house. His wife objected frt li?a Aicroi-na thfl hole, but he showed her a quantity of oommon lime which, he said, would destroy the flesh when buried with it. Suspicion having been aroused Fuohs was arrested, when ?he horrible facts as related above were developed. He and his wife were looked up in prison. Intoxicating Liquors. Daring the discussion on the bill in the United States Senate to control the liquor question, Mr. Morrill (Bep.), of Maine, said while the whole question regulating the sale of intoxio&ting drinks belonged primarily to the States, he oould see that this bill was for the good of the whole country, and the in quiry proposed should be made. The government authorized the manufacture and importation of aloohofio liquors, and suroly Congress had the right to inquiro into a subjeot which brought revenue to the government. The inquiry piioui-1 bo maae as to tne morai, buuiuj, and eoonomic aspect of the lignor traf fic. The question was not a new one at all. At the close of the Revolutionary war, and for two or three decades after, the people of this country drank more liquor per capita than those of any coun try on the face of the earth, and who ever would take the pains to look into history, would see that it was in conse quence of the government raising a revenue from alcoholic liquors. In the year 1800 there were 18,000 retail licenses issued, and intemperance grew so that we were soon denominated over the civilized world as a nation of drunk ards. When the government of Qreat Britain encouraged the importation and manufacture of alcoholio liquors, retail shops were opened, crime was increased, and the prisons were filled. In this coun try a hundred million gallons were manufactured annually. Mr. Sherman?Besides the crooked whisky. [Liang] iter. ] Mr. Morrill aaked what became ef this great quantity ? It was used by forty million people, and by it they were poi soned. Pauperism, crime, beggary, want, and death were the result. Three fourths of the pauperism was attributa ble directly or indirectly to the use of infnriratine lianors. Congress had the right to inquire into the matter. The use of liquor was the gigantic orime of crimes in this country. Real Editors and the Other Kind, The Boston Post, in an artiole con cerning the crowd of Indiana people tinder the name of editors recently in Washington, soya: Editors cannot spend a great deal of their time in travel.' When they do they neoessarily part I with their profession. In point of fact the real journalist, or editor as some in sist, is personally about the least known , of. 8,11 living individuals who wield an equal amount of influence or perform an equal amount of work. The preacher appears weekly to the public in the - ? - -? sacroa aesK ; duo pnysicmu vjuki uu patients daily and talks with them ; the lawyer harangues juries and pleada with judges; the journalist alone is unseen and popularly unknown. He is content to see the silent but effective operation of his influence. It is his journal that speaks for him. He would as soon i think of prancing about the country and exhibiting himself to the public in dif ferent cities as he would of standing on the corners and hawking his own sheet. He would much sooner perform under Barnum at the Oentennlal than perch himnelf in the gallery of the United States Senate for exhibition. He is not in the habit of wearing a chalked hat, sleeping in free beds at hotels, promising puffs for his rations, or join ing a traveling troupe of men with fly intr hair or vounj? women with flowing feathers. His life is one of work, and not of excursions. When he goes forth to inhale the freBh air and bask in the sunshine of the outer world, no one is a greater stranger than he, and the last subject you can indue? him to talk about is a newspaper This troupe of Kjcsier "editors" isapaity that has been organized to see the country and feast on its products without having to expend a dollar. It is the other kind of oditors?the real editor?that hotels, railroad companies, Congress and poli tical managers would be only too glad to entertain. Glittering Poverty, A Washington letter writer says: A pawnbroker being indebted to a gentle man, and the debt remaining unpaid for some time, my friend went personally to collect his dues. Seated in the dingy counting-room he could, unseen, survey the front of the store. A lady entered, whom he at once recognized. She was married and stood high in social rank. Refusing to name her errand to the clerk, the principal was summoned; then iinr>lfl.<ar>irn7 a shininc oross. she explained that she must have $500 at once; that the cross was worth 81,200. Of course the man of loans demurred, haggling for the greatest advantage; then, finally giv ing her 8350, she hurried away with a haughty tread, but in nervous haste, lit tle dreaming who had seen her. That same evening at a brilliant party my friend met her. In her ears costly dia monds gleamed; from her bracelets they glittered again, and when the glove was withdrawn her hand sent back the light from splendid rings. Gay cliat and merry laughter passed back and forth till after some light jesting, to test her self-possession, my friend complimented her jewels and asked: " Where is that magnificent cross I have so often seen ?" Not a quiver of an eyelid or a deeper I flush on the cheek betrayed the lady as I she auicklv rorlied: "Oh, I broke it last week, and, not liking to have it re paired here, I have sent it to New York! I was vexed enough that it was not re turned in time for this party!" And fchat lady rides in her carriage, queens it over a home, has a husband who idol izes her, and children on whose pure hearts it is hers to write the lessons of life.

The Story of a .German Family 1b Missouri. A Sedalia (Mo.) paper says: There was told to TU3 a story, the truth of which we can Touch for, and the details of which are so pathetic, and yet so horrid, as to sound more like some witch's work than like the plain fact it is. It has known to but two or three persons until only a day or two since. Near Cambridge, Saline county, lies an island out in the middle of the Mis souri river. It is a large one, and its soil is fit for the raising of corn and mel ons and a few kinds of vegetables. Upon this resided a German family, Waggoner by name. It was oomposed of husband and wife and two very pretty children, aged respectively five years and ten. The old man had him a comfortable house built, and made his living by boat ing and by what yield a few sandy acres might give him. On* dav the hnsband of thia family never had some business on the mainland, and so he bade his wife, and children good bye, got into his boat and rowed across the stream, intending without fail to be back the evening of that day. This was on the morning of Tuesday. The night following, the mother of the family took sick with colic, it is supposed, and died. No aid oonld reach her, and there she was dying, ont on that lonely island in the night, and with only her two little children at her bedside. Anxiously must she have listened, with her hearing al ready deadened, for the coming of her husband, and wistfully must those little children have stretched their sight across the water for the return of their father. But he came not, and there in mid stream, and in the darkened cabin, those children were left alone with a dead mother. They could, of course, do nothing for themselves, and there wasn# aid in reach of them, so they had to let the body remain just as it lay in the last struggle of death. That night the cold came on, and bv morning the stream was blocked with ice, so that no skiff might cross it in safety. . The days went wearilj by, and the children, frightened ana iaragaea uv yond anything we may imagine, began to feel the want of provisions. There was a scant supply of them in the cabin when the father left, and they were now abont consumed. Most horrid of all the story, but no less the truth, the rats began to seek the corpse of the dead mother, and when the husband return ed, a week from the day of his depart ure, who can picture the horror that befell him as ha entered his once happy home and found his wife lyiryr there with her face half eaten off with the ver min, and his little children almost starv ing. The Eaflof It. Prof. Ordronaux, New York State commissioner of lunacy, and l)r. Gray, of Utica, made an examination of Scan nell, who was recently committed to the ' Utica insane asylum, and filed their cer tificate in the county court of Oneida county, a day or two since, that Scan nell was not insane. This will of course secure Bcannell's release, inasmuch as only the order of a judge of the BUpreme court is necessary to put into effect the decision of these experts. John Scannell's brother, Florence ! Scannell, was shot in 1870 in an affray in J Thomas Donohue's saloon, lingered for - ~ 1 - * t-i- ? M Jl | a year, and nnany aiea 01 xua wuuuu. John Scannell was for a while under sus picion of having shot his brother acci dentally, a suspicion only dispelled by the post mortem, examination. Scan nell pursued Donohue for the murder of his brother, and after two attempts to kill Donohue, succeeded the third time, in November, 1872, in a pjolroom on Broadway, firing five shots and in flicting several wounds, of which the first was probably the fatal one. He j was tried the following January, and the | defense was insanity, caused by the I death of his brother and his own rela tions to that death. The jury disagreed. Owing to the engagements of his senior counsel, and to other causes, his retrial was deferred until he became the oldest prisoner in the Tombs. He was tried for the second time last November, and the same defense being interposed, the jury found him not goilty on theground of insanity. Under, the law of., the State Judge Barrett, before whom he was tried, sent him to the State asylum as being insane. Ho will now be re leased. : About Horse Races. The New York Herald, in an article on horse racing, says: A horse is of little use that cannot carry a man of ordinary weight, and it is sheer nonsense to prate about racing for the advancement and improvement of the breed of the thoroughbred horse without he can be bred to carry a man weighing one hundred and fifty pounds or more and run fa3t also. It is a his torical fact that a three-year-old thor oughbred, Copenhagen, bore the Duko of Wellington on his back for twelve hours on the last day of the battle of Waterloo, and when the French were beaten and Wellington dismounted the colt came near kicking the duke's brains out by letting his heels fly over the great general's head. Of such colts is this country much in need at the pres ent time, as too much attention has been wasted on the breeding of fast short dis tance runners, instead o? having them, ?* 3 A" Aftww tw/Ji'Mlf. <171/1 j as we siua ueiuie, i?j wmj ^v. I run too. A liorse that can run with one hundred and fifty pounds on his back four miles in eight minutes is an infi nitely superior animal to the one that could run a mile in one miiiute" thirty nine and one-half seconds, as Longfel low was said to have done in the first mile in the race for the Saratoga cup with Kingfisher. And it is probable that Longfellow would not have broken down in his rao-; with Harry Bassetthad the weights been what a four-year-old will have to carry next summer, as it has been demonstrated that it is the pace | and not the weight that breaks down the forelegs of the racer. Compnlsory Education. ! Tlie superintendent of truancy in New York city reports that the cases of 10,189 "truants and non-attendants" have been looked into during the past year; of these 1,690 had no residence that could be found, and 4,800 were de tained at home by poverty or sickness, | leaving 4,194 habitual truants residing | at home. Of this number, 2,597 were j returned to school; 1,121 who never i went to school were placed in school (mainly in industrial schools), and only I fthnnfc sixtv were obliged te be committed | to public institutions. ! Thus nearly four thousand children, growing up in ignorance and exposed to all the temptations of a vagabond life, were placed in school and brought under regular discipline. The report shows that einco the law was put in exe cution the daily average attendance of the public schools has risen 6,515, and that of the industrial schools 1,009, making a total number of 7,014 children who have been taken from the ranks of the ignorant, and compelled to take the first steps in acquiring knowledge. The expense of fchna gathering in these 7,600 children to placeB of education has been $H,356. THE STORY OF A MAN'S LIFE. The Illustration being that of a Cu? Fresh la the Mind* ef All Reader*. There we some lives, says the New York Evening Pott, whose history is a profitable story. A poor man with a large family, for whom he could scarcely find food, removed some years ago from Whitehall, New York, to the manu facturing town of Ware, Massachusetts. In his abject poverty, however, he cherished one treasure, a bright boy, who to a quick and active intellect added a winning address, which made him a " -A L.'.l. lavonce in me zactury m wiuuu no d. The boy was industrious, faithful in his attention to business, correct in his habits, and he had the other virtue ?scarcely lees highly esteemed by the persons around him?of close economy. He saved his money carefully, not that he might lay a foundation for businaas prosperity, but that he might secure a liberal education and fit himself for the ministry of the gospel. In the church to which he belonged, as in the factory, there were friends on every hand ready to help him in his brave struggle and enoourage him in his honorable ambi tion. Promotion in business came quick ly. After he had left the factory and ao oepted employment in a merchant's shop, his former employer continued to assist him in his efforts to rise. Present ly he began to exhort in the meetings of the church, and in 1860 lie became an ordained minister. As a minister the young man gave rare promise of useful ness, adding to his gifts as a preacher the lees common talent of a good organizer and manager of church work and church business. The war coming on, the young man, Ezra D. Winslow, entered the army as a volunteer, and pjterward became a chaplain, first in the army and later in the navy. Then came his first step downward.^ The young'man dreamed of wealth and resolved to seek it by short roads. He was emotionally religious, and there is little room to qaestion ther sinoeritj either of his faith or his piety ; but he lacked, what so many others lacked, a * ' - -L?j_ na oaiance wneei 01 Biumjr wi<ogix?j. seems never to have been a oonsoious hypocrite, or to have preferred dis honest to honest courses; but his thirst for riches was consuming; and when wealth seemed within Ms grasp his moral nature was not strong enough to resist temptation. Stock speculations are not necessarily dishonest, and stock gambling is only a form of stock specu lation. The yoang chaplain was idle on board his ship in the harbor of San Francisco. The time was one of specu lation, and suddenly made fortunes were not uncommon things. He could go ashore when he would, and going daily the chaplain presently became a shrewd if not an unscrupulous gambler upon the stock exchange. He mad* and lost money in large sums, and having onoe caught the fever he never recovered from it. After his retirement from his chaplaincy and from the active work of ministry, lie sought both the appearance and the reality of wealht. He -was not oontent with the steady ways of legiti mate business, bat tried to compel cir cumstances and hasten the ooming of wealth by every devioe ^known to the commercial world. His transactions were often questionable, sometimes sus picions, but ho adroitly avoided ex posure, and for a time at least kept within the strict letter of the law of honesty, even when transgressing its spirit. His downward course was not volun tary, ezeept in its first stops, and his dishonesty was never the result of a de iberately formed purpose. He meant to make money, and this purpose was stronger than his other resolution to be honest; not strong enough, perhaps, to overcome conscience at a botfnd, but ' -i_iri.ii _ i? aoie to nnaermme u iibue uy utuo. a. other and still more fatal fact existed. His thirst for wealth was equaled by Ms desire to seem wealthy, and spending money more rapidly than he oould fair ly make if;, he found himself obliged, in some sort, to resort first to questionable and finally to boldly dishonest methods of getting the means with which to maintain Ms state. He was still a min ister, preaching occasionally. He was a business man with large interests. He was a chosen agent in the promotion of ohurch and charitable work. He had been recently a legislator, and he was counted a rioh, able and respectable oiti-_ zen. He was all that Ills birth and the" circumstances of his boyhood had not promised, and the temptation was strong to maintain the standing he had; woo, even though its maintenance should require the sacrifloe of the char acter which was supposed to be its foundation.., Once or twice, latterly, he was de tected iq doubtful pecuniary transac tions, but the secret was kept. Once, at least, a bank president discovered that he had forged an indorsement upon a note for a large amount, but the re spectability of the culprit was suoh that trie felony was compounded, and the matter hidden from the public to that public's sore injury. The men who ought then to have sounded a warning w?jro silent, and the now wholly un scrupulous swindler, still preaching oc casionally to other sinners, scattered his forged paper in every direction. Now he has disappeared, with his family, eail ns is thnnahfc. for Rotterdam, and I his viotims suffer without a remedy. The publio lesson of this man's life is a plain one. By neglecting to secure adequate extradition treaties with the governments of every civilized nation, we hold out to such men as Win slow the promise of escape and immunity in a safe and oomfortable retreat, without which they would think twioe before en tering upon such courses as his. The personal lessons of Winslow's life scarcely need pointing ont. His whole history, here briefly detailed, is a , sermon which cannot be easily mis j understood. Bad Boys, A certain parson, who is also a school fo<u*Vi?r handed a problem to his class in mathematics the other day. The first boy took it, looked at it awhile, and Raid: " I pas3." Second boy took it and said: "I turn it down." The third boy stared at it awbilp, and drawled out: " I can't make it." " Very good, boys," said the parson, " we will proceed to cut for a new deal." And the switch danced like lightning over the shoulders of those de praved young mathematicians.
