Mft <?Wliat an industrious little thing you

riAs upon ine she would have to do withRS
So saying handsome Ida Minturn leans
MB \uMx head upon her white hand while she
HBP-^^^^^atches languidly her cousin's busy
Ogf^ movements.
HHM It is a sweet,arch face that Thalia lifts
to her as she smilingly answers: "Tired
HB already? Ida, I do believe you were born
to be a drone in the hive. Everything
MBS seems to weary you except going to par 9H
ties and?"
["Flirting, I suppose you vould finish
with. Well, you are notfai >vrong; and,
by the bye, Thalia, I have found a new
and delightful subject upon which to try
my powers of fascination. Pa should
have thought twice before he engaged
such a handsome overseer. To be sure,
he is rather cold and distant; but you'll
see yet how expressive I can make his
dark eyes look."
A delicate pink rushes to the younger
girl's fair face as she springs to her feet,
almost dropping her baskei of berries.
"Ida Minturn, I am ashamed of you!
Indeed, I was going to finish my sentence
in no such way.' I detest the very word
_ flirtation,and 1 do not believe Mr. Holmes
Bf- v would stoop to such a thing."
"Thalia, how seriously you do take
f things! If you could only sec how
dramatic you look?gory, outstretched
j tand and all! But here comes Mr. Holmes
/ himself. I believe I will tell him of your
HHM enthusiastic defense. I doubt not but it
|HR would amuse him."
f "Oh, Ida, please don't!"
HA And Thalia's cheeks grow to the deepest
rose as she pleads.
Un But there is no need for fear, as, with
Hun| merely a grave, courteous lift of his
BHhBH straw hat, Mr. Holmes passes on to
HmK where, in a distant part of the field,some
men are engaged at their work.
Thft trnldftn Riimmpr months flit pentlv
I by and it is not long before it is plainly
evident to all eyes but Mrs. Minturn's
1 how affairs are tending between the
handsome young overseer of the farm
- and the gentle young girl who for the
past three years has made her home with
ner aunt.
"I think he'feperfectly splendid!" Ida
says candidly, as with many blushes
Thalia confesses the fact of her engagement.
"But mamma will never consent,
and I myself think you're very
foolish, Thalia. Love is all well enough,
but I for one have too much ambition to
throw myself away on a poor young man.
I look for a coronet at the very least,
and you, with your pretty face, might
certainly do better."
"Better! Ah, no!" And Thalia's
face is more than pretty?beautiful?as
she speaks. "My Harry is noble and
good. "What could be better than that?
And if he is poor, I am too, but I count
myself rich in his love!"
Ida is right in prognosticating her
mother's disapproval.
" Engaged! And to a man not worth
a penny, and of whose family one knows
nothing about! Thalia, I am shocked.

"I am glad you are going, Harry,"
Thalia said, as* she finished reading.

and needing aid?his is a sad lot."
"I knew you would feel so, my darling,"
llarrv answers; and then, tbeletter
forgotten, they talk as lovers delight to
do, until the moments, flying br, bring
at last the dreaded time of parting.

Ida one evening coming into her cousin's

nature, She is growingmore accustomed
to the thousand dem?ads and forms of
society, but (hey we'T her infinitely.

'handsome, too, for she ha9 seen his picture.
I tell you what, Thalia, I feel itj
in my bones?as nurse used to say?that I
this young stranger will not return to j
his ancestral acres as unencumbered as
he comes. Some English girl will certainly
captivate him; and why should it |
not be your humble servant?"
By the time her cousin finishes, Thalia's
face is full of the amusement she
cannot repress; but Ida is too much engrossed
with her pleasant fancies to
notice or be offended. That same afternoon
the postman brings a letter to Thalia,
addressed in-bold, manly characters. She
has never seen Harry's writing, and yet
her liugcrs tremble, and her soft cheek
flushes, as she opens the envelope; for
something tells her whose hand penned
her name. Inside are only a few lines:
"Darling Thalia?(if I may still call you
so)?This day in which I write brines you
your twenty-first birthday, and the end of the
period of your probation, it you rememuer i
and still adhere to the words you said as we
parted, send to me a cluster of flowers like to I
thoso 1 took from you as a remembrance, and |
which I have worn ever since close to the j
heart tljat beats now as fervently for you,
and vou only, as it did then, three years ago.
Harry."
An address follows. The next mail
bears with it Thalia's answer. What it
is the reader may surmise.
The weeks glide by, and at length, to
Ida's delight,the day of the looked-forward-to
garden fete dawns. Ida looks
regally handsome. Thalia's quaint simplicity
of dress suits the girlish style well.
The afternoon is waning, and us yet no
distinguished stranger has made his appearance.
It is warm, and, a little tired by a game
of lawn-tennis, Thalia strolls off to a rustic
seat. Throwing aside her hat, she leans
her head upon her hand, and for awhile
luses herself in a happy day-dream. Suddenly
a step approaches, and a well-remembered
voice speaks her name.
AVith startled eyes, Thalia springs to
her feet to find herself drawn to a warmly-beating
heart.
"Do you know me, Thalia?"
"Yes," she whispered; "it is my
lover come back to me."
He laughs?a joyous laugh.
' My constant darling!" he murmured.
"And you still arc ready and willing to
leave you luxurious home and become a
poor man's wife?"
" We will not be poor, Harry, for we
shall be rich in love."
A look of almost adoring affection fills
the young man's earnest eyes as they
rest upon the sweet, downcast face.
"I nave something to tell you, little
one," he says, "that will surprise you. I
went to Ireland expecting to find a
relative, old, poor and needy; I found
an uncle, titled, and the sole representative
of a rich and powerful family. His
letter had been worded thus to try me.
He was in need, he said, of affection.
I found him waiting and longing to ex
tend to me the father's love I had never
known, and I stand here to-day as his
heir, waiting to claim the wife who
loved me when poor and obscure, and
who, I trust, will care for me just as
much in my. changed circumstances.
"You are a lucky lj^ii*fliffgfr'rTaa
says, when the truth mado known
to her, "and I think your case proves
that after all it does/juy to be constant
and true." /r
And much to 'her wordly mother's
chagrin a year latfer, instead of waiting
for the often-talked of coronet, Ida gives
her handsome' self, indifference and
listlessness left behind, to a poor young
bank clerk whose only claim to consideration
is an honest, loving heart.
Lepers in Iudia.
Lepers are met with in every stage of
misery in Iudia,says a writer in the Nineteenth
Century, They flock to the borders
of the Ganges to end their hopeless
lives on "holy ground." Pilgrims, they
crowd to Poorec to make prayers and
[ ?4r?: *i,? :,1 ~i T

nauth; and then, failing of their cure, |
they continue to haunt the neighbor- ;
hood, and form fresh centres of vice as ,
vile and detestable as the foul corruption
that pollutes and makes havoc of
their bodies. Often herded by themselves
at night, they are scattered during
the day along the roadway and in the i
bazars begging of the pitiful, and tilling j
with horror the unaccustomed strauger. j
Special hospital accommodation is pro- j
vided for them here and there; but in all
India, with its millions of people and its
over a hundred thousand lepers, the asylums
for the leper can be almost counted
on one's fingers; they are not a fourth, j
nay, not a fourteenth part of the lazar |
houses that England in the middle ages !
built for these despised ''children of St. j
Lazarus."
?
Lost Hi vers.
One of the most singular features of 1
the Territory of Idaho is the occurrence ;
of dark, rocky chasms, into which creeks
and large streams suddenly disappear and |
are never mor. seen. The lissures are
nld lava channels produced by the out- i
side of the mass cooling and forming a
tube, which, when the liery stream was ;
exhausted, has been left empty, whilst i
the roof of the lava duct, having at !
some point fallen in, presents there the
opening into which the river plunges and
is lost. At one place along the Snake,
one of these rivers appears gushing from
a cleft high up in basaltic walls where
it leaps a cataract into the torrent below. I
Where this stream has its origin, or at'
what point it is swallowed up is absolutely
unknown, although it is believed
that its sources are n long way up iu the
north country. Beside becoming the
channels of streams, the lava conduits
are frequently found impacted with the
ice masses which never entirely melt.
The Cook An Artist.
The chef of a leading hotel in New
York lately admitted a reporter to his
inner sanctum, and there confided to him
the great secret of the cooking art.
,l Everything in its raw state," says the
~ ~ ti Vinn a /lieh'nnfivo fnofA Hut. tho
UniUlU, uaa ? vugm?vt?.w vuuw,
cook's art is to bring it to the surface so
that it reaches the palate. The secret in
our profession is to supply flavors where
they are absent and to develop them
when they are there, just as the painter
makes his effect stand out from the canvas.
During the decade from 1870 to 1880
the population of the United States increased
from 38,000,000 to 50,000,000.
A like percentage of increase since 1880,
a period of four years, would give a present
population of about 56,000,000 of
people.

who was sent to a fashionable school for
young ladies.
lie said when she left home he wondered
if she would acquire the airs and
affectations that certain vouug ladies that
he knew had by attending the fashionable

After being there a year he began to
flatter himself that his sister was proof
against such nonsense, when he received
a letter signed "Jessica," instead of Jessie,
as heretofore. In answering he
wrote something like this:
"Dear Sister Jessica: Your welcome letter
received. Matnaiea and papaica are well.

Killed His Child.
That there may be a world of pathos
n the apparently prosaic life of a policeman
is shown by the following incident,
elated in the Chicago Herald:
"Did you ever shoot any one?" The
speaker was a visitor at the armory, and
:he person addressed was a patrolman
ivho looked up hurriedly and walked
iway without an answer. "You see,"
said another officer, in explanation, "he
lad an experience once that he does not
ike to think or talk about. He used to
ivalk in the Twelfth street district when it
ivas called the terror district, and when
;hey had the murder bell there. When;ver
there was a shooting or killing in
;hat precinct the bell was rung, so as to
lotify all patrolmen that a crime had
)een committed, and make them more
.'igilant, if possible, in their search for
lesperate characters. One dark, rainy
light this officer obtained permission
rom the roundsman to stei) over to his
iome, a few blocks away, to get his rubier
coat, and while he was in the house
le looked into the room where his chilIren
were sleeping. "Wishing to have
)ne revolver outside of his coat he took
)ff his belt and laid the weapon on a bueau.
Just as he was about to strap it
)n he noticed that the hammer was down,
ind some way in trying to put it at half
:ock the thiug was discharged. A little
jirl jumped up from the bed with a red
jlotch upon her forehead, and crying,
"Oh, papa!" fell flat on her face. At
:hat instant the murder bell rung, its
;ones coming iuto the little house, deep,
ionorous and horrifying. This officer
:hought it was lor him. but it was not,
)f course. There had been a shooting
somewhere else, and the bell was ringing
'or a tough and not for the heart-broken
aoliceman. "Weli, that thiug pretty near
Irovc him crazy. The little girl never
spoke again, and she died inside

the father, but he never exon;rated
himself. A few weeks after
this he begged to be transferred from

Lady Lobbyists in Washington
The lady lobbyists, says a correspond
jnt, have played important parts in the
social life of Washington, especially since
the Buchanan administration. Some of
them have been the widows of officers of j
the army or navy; others have been the
Slaughters of Congressmen, aud others i
bave drifted here from home localities
where they have found themselves the
mbjects of scandalous comments. A
few of them have been beautiful, some
had scorched their wings on ill-lighted
torches, and they have generally been
very clever. It has been their business
lo so ingratiate themselves with Senator?
and Representatives as to control theii
votes on matters which they have been
paid to advocate or oppose. Failing in
this,they have sometimes managed to secure
the absence of opponents of the bills
which they have been retained to advocate
by ingenious schemes.' They looked
at every question before Congress from
a business standpoint, and their smilei
were for those whose votes were doubtful.
To them the highest compliments
and most honeyed phrases were thrown
away, for they knew their vanity. They
"meant business." The parlors of some
of these dames have been exquisitely
furnished with works of art and brie
a-brac donated by admiring diplomats.
Every evening they received, and in tho
winter their blazing wood firei were surrounded
by a distinguished circle. Soma
would treat favored guests to a game of
euchre, and as midnight approached
there was always an adjournment to the
dining-room, where a choice supper was
served. A cold duck, a venison pie,
broiled oysters, or some one exquisitely
cooked dish with salads and cheese, constituted
the repast, with iced champagne
or Burgundy at blood heat. Who could
blame the Congressman for leaving the
bad cooking of bis hotel or boardinghouse,
with nn absence of all home
comforts to walk into the parlor web
which the adroit lobbyist has cunningly
wove for him?

A letter from Tangier, North Africa,
says that uo words can describe the cr?-v
city and the barbaric manner in which
justicc is administered in Morocco.
Like Tunis, there are in Morocco some
days in each week when the lowest and
most, humble of the emperor's subjects
may step before the despot and demand
from him justice against his neighbors
or against government officials. These
public receptions are the most interesting
sight in the capital of Morocco, for they
arc alwavs attended by the entire court,
~ rru?
mu miuj, tutu uiuwua ui jjuujmc. iuc
army, several thousand ragged, beggarly
fellows with crooked old guns and brt)kcn
swords, is paraded in three lines in
front of the imperial palace, forming a
square, open on one side. The sultan,
surrounded by a crowd of courtiers, generals,
and ministers enters the square,
mounted on a magnificent white horse in
gorgeous trappings. An attendant bears
the celebrated blue umbrella, surmounted
with a golden ball, the insignia of
the sultan's imperial dignity. The soldiers
present arms, the official and imperial servants
prostrate themselves, and the ceremony
begins. One afier the other, the
poverty-stricken, humiliated subjects are
led before the sultan. He rarely speaks
to them. After listening to their stories
or to that of the police authorities, he
makes his decision, or prescribes a pun
ishmcnt which is instantly administered
by a chamberlain.
Until quite recently every subject
brought into the presence of the sultan
had to bring him a present, according to
his means. Sometimes great quantities
of gold, jewelry and precious stones are
offered. The poor Bedouins from the
desert bring him sheep, dates, cheese,
large pots of butter and other articles of
little value. For the la?t few years the
sultan has not insisted upon these offerings,
but it cannot lie said that thosowho
come to him empty handed derive much
bene6t. There is no appeal against the
judgment of the sultan. If coudemned
to death, the delinquent will be executed
on the spot. Executioners are always
011 hand, and the most horrible
mutilations are committed in the
presence of his majesty and the entire
army. Decapitation is still in vogue,
but neither guillotine or swords are used.
A common butcher's knife or a large
dagger docs the scrvicc slower ana more
cruelly, but with ciTcct. Robbery and
theft are still punished by cutting off the
right hand of the criminal. Eyes are
torn out, ears, noses and feet cut off, and
the poor people mutilated in many still
more horrible ways. The detached parts
of tlie body are thrown to the dogs.
Confessions arc forced from the accused
by frightful tortures, by slowly roasting
their bodies, pinching, stretching and
squeezing, the same as in ihe eleventh
and twelfth centuries. It seems hardly
credible that this mutilation can still be
Eracticed in a country only a score of
ours distunt from the enlightened States
of the world, where ambassadors and
consuls of all the great nations reside.
England wastes thousands of pounds annually
in her efforts to suppress the slave
trade in Egypt and Nubia, but the carnage
committed daily by the sultan of
Morocco and his dignitaries is permitted
without protest.
Thejvendetta exisis in Morocco. Any
murder, committed either intentionally i
or by accident, will surely be revenged j
by the relatives of the deceased. Should
they not be able to kill the offender the
authorities will do it for them. Other ac- J
cidents which may happen to a Mussulman
by the fault of another are revenged
in a similar way. "An cyc.for an eye and
a tooth for a tooth" is still the law with
these semi-barbarians. Every traveler is I
shocked at the number ot crippies ue enencounters
in every part of the empire.
Mutiny is always punished by decapitation.
This is pracsiced to such nn extent
that the traveler often sees a dozen
human heads stuck on high poles over
the gates of cities.
The sultan is not the only one who indulges
in such cruelties. All his pashas,
governors, and caids follow his example
in different provinces and districts. As
in Tunis and Persia, the bastinado is the
most common punishment for slight offenses.
Frequently, however, several
hundred strokes are administered upon
the aoles of the poor offender's feet, causing
sometimes instantaneous death and
frequently making cripples for life.
The favorite punishment with the sultan
and the pasnas is the confiscation of
the offender's money and goods. If there
is a decision to be given between several
parties, justice is sold at auction. The
party offering the greater bribe
will always be the winner. Offences
against the government are i
always punished by taking from the j
oiienuer cvcrjvuiug uu jjusaco.iua, |
whether found guilty or not. Should j
any Moorish merchant or functiomry acquire
considerable wealth, he knows that j
he can live no longer in security. The !
sultan, master of his life and pioperty, |
cau take all from him when he least expects
it-, and he may consider himself
fortunate if his head remains upon his i
shoulders. This is why the whole country
appears to the traveler so poverty- .
stricken and so destitute of all progress j
and wealth. All the money earned in !
trade or agriculture is carefully hidden, |
for the least indication of wealth may j
bring misery and death upon its posses- j
sor. His house may fall in ruins; he j
will not have it repaired. lie may need
a new burnous, but he dare not buy it, |
lest he should bo thought wealthy. He I
will never admit his prosperity. He will !
complain of bad times or of the govern- |
ment, and speak of famine and misery, !
although he may have many thousand j
gold pieces hidden away. Frequently
this does not prevent the government of- j
ficial from discovering the hiding-placo
of his treasures by fenrful tortures. If i
any Moor wishes to destroy his enemy he j
denounces him as rich.
The taxes are collected in the same !
expedient and effective manner in which j
justice is administered. Whenever |
the sultan needs money he orders
all his p&shas to collect the tenth i
prescribed by the koran, and
to send him the amount required ;
within a certain time. These {
pashas pay themselves for their services !
I by doubling the amount; a policy which j
is eagerly followed by their subordinates. !
The poor, instead of paying the sultan I
Ins tenth, have to pay another tenth to j
j the.pasha, and a third tenth to the zap- j
I tich, the caids and showsh. This is but '
one of the many taxes imposed upon the
; Moors. Every date tree, cach pair of'
oxen, every sheep and horse is taxed, i
i Imports and exports of goods, sales of:
j merchandise, and business transactions
! of all kinds are taxed to the utmost. In- j
! deed, only a small part of the earnings j
j of the.people remain their own.
The interior towns of Morocco are not
inhabited by Europeans, nor do consuls |
1 reside iu them. Nothing remains for 1
| the oppressed but revolt. The emperor j
i keeps his regular army and his guards
, for the purpose of chastising such rebels. I
j As soon as he gets news of a revolt he '
. sends his troops to the town to plunder
| and destroy. Prisoners arc rarely per- j
mitted to live. Their heads are cut ofl)
. on the spot and sent to the emperor, who
j has them exhibited over the gates of the
! principal cities of his empire as a warni
mg to others. The emperor's army, I
, however, is weak, and the distances be
! tween interior towns are great, so that |
he is only able to control comparatively j
i small portions of his empire. The Ber- j
I bers or Kabyles in the mountains and the j
, Bedouins near the southern desert are |
i virtually independent.
A Rustic Rejoinder.
"How in the world can you content |
I yourself to live in this dead-and-alive j
place!" asked the city visitor of her!
country cousin. "I know I should die j
if I had to stay here."
"Well,"replied the rustic relative, "I j
i suppose I should, too; but then the city |
folks ain't here only a few weeks in the !
year, jou know."
The compensation of the postmasters
j in the United States amounts to over ;

HERON AMD HUNTER. ?
A Wounded Bird Nearly Kills a Man
in iltt Struggle foe Life. a
*A Beaver Brook (N. Y.) dispatch says: ti
"William Janeway, a hunter, had an unexpected
and very exciting adventure on Fri- ^
j day last, near tho head-waters of Ten Mile ni
river, in this county. Ho was hunting ot
: along tho margin of the stream, on tho look- j^j
out for wood ducks, and as he sat hidden bo- y
; hind an alder bush he saw a large blue heron tl:
: alight at the edge of the water, a short gun* )v
! shot away. Janeway fired at the bird, and
it fell to tho ground, where it; lay fluttering tv
j and struggling, evidently badly wounded, di
With the idea of securing it alivo tl
1 tho hunter laid down his prun and w
j ran to tho spot where tho heron was. st
i The great bird had struggled to its feet before vi
1 Janeway reached it, ana when it saw him sc
I approaching it turned and tried to run away, bi
| but was hurt so that it could not, and fell ui
again to tho ground. Janeway hurried on,
and bending over the heron to seize it, he al
was taken by suqirise to see it regain its feet ft
and place itself in an attitude of defense, a]
The hunter had never heard that tlieso u|
birds were courageous enough to attack any jc
one, and ho stepped forward to over- tl
power it. whon it sprang to meet him, si
and darting out its long neck, struck e:
] Janeway a blow in the face with its tl
) powerful beak that felled him to the ground in
i half stunned. He staggered to his feet and ui
i found that blood was streaming from a id
I wound in his cheek made'by tho heron's la
beak. Ho had no time to determine on what di
| it was best to do before the immense bird, F
, wnicii stood raoro tnan iour reet nign, new is
! at him again, throwing its body lieavily T?
I against his breast, at the same time strik!
ing him just above the right eye with its
] beak. Janeway fell again, anil the bird fol- o'i
j lowed up its advantage and attacked him as at
ho lay on . the ground The movements c*
i of the heron, although wounded wero al
so quick that it had given tho L
hunter a third blow, this time in the left eye, l*
before he could make any defense whatever, hi
Maddened with pain, Janeway sprang to his w
feet and, rushing upon his singular antagon- 8
1 1st, caught it with both hands about the neck, p
! Its strength was so great that, strangled as it in
; was by the- hunter's desperate clutch, it re- of
! quired all of Janeway's power to retain his th
i hold until the bird was forced to succumb, fr
, He held on its nock until it ceased to struggle di
, longer. Ho had choked it to death. He was Ir
' covered with blood and his left eye was blind- ri:
j ed. He hurried to the house of a lumberman ilc
! living near the spot. HLs cheek was laid open er
j to the bone where the heron had struck him wi
j first with its beak, and there was a deep holo qi
: over his right eye. The left eye was entirely p
j destroyed, and it is feared Janeway will loso y,

' brought in from the woods. It measured e<
j nearly seven feet from tip to tip of its wings, it
Those birds are rare iu that locality, although 3,

lildings were perceptibly shaken and plaster
taken from the walls. A second shock was

lildren, and prisoners were frantic with
arm at many places and people rushed out
! their houses and stores.
Cleveland, Ohio: At 2:50 o'clock this
'ternoon an earthquake shock was felt
iroughout the city. Many large buildings
rayed slightly to and fro, and hundreds of
:ople rushed into the streets anxiously inliring
the cause of the sudden vibration,

ont of the signal office were noticed to sway
msiderably. The compositors in the Plainidler
office experienced the shock, and many
impositors lelt their cases, thinking the
liluing was going to tumble. The shock was
ilt in the interior of the State, and it 4ppirently
extended over a large territory. Bin
orth AmfajL-rst the shock was felt at afl|ut
40. In Bellefontaine it was also netBed
lortly before 3 o'clock. From Cecil comesthe
port: "A violent shock of earthquake rocked
us town at 2:17. throwing' goods from

;hers, and in a few instances occupants of
jilduigs were terror-stricken by the in visile
force. The Vanco block is one of the
ghest buildings in the city, and in
ie upper floors the vibrations
ere so pronounced that the occupants ran
ito the nails on the lower floors. The sensaon
induced a feeling of lightheadedness. In
vo of the public school buildings the chil-cn
were almost panic-stricken and one of
lem fainted. City Librarian Do Hooper
as the only statistically inclined obirver.
He reports seventeen distinct
ibrations, lasting four or five
iconds. All high buildings were shaken,
nt the visit was unsuspected by the great
lajority of people.
Wheeling, West Va.: At 2 :.r?2 o'clock this
'tcrnoon a severe shock of earthquake was
ilt in this city. The movement was most
3 pa rent to inmates of tall buildings, the
[)per floors of which swayed sufficiently to
a- lamp shades, swing pictures from
10 wall, and displace lignt articles on
lelves. Many people supposed a boiler
cplosion had taken place, and
lere was considerable excitement and much
iquiry as to the location of the accident;,
util the real cause was explained. The
otiou was from northeast to southwest, and
sted from three to five-seconds. No serious
image has been reported. Bellairj, Martin's
erry, Bridgeport, Cadiz, St. Clairsville,
teubecville, Barncsville, and other points in
astern Ohio report about the same state of
fairs.
Cincinnati, Ohio: A few minutes before 3
clock this afternoon tha telegraph operator
; the Bee Line station, in Cincinnati, rejived
dispatches from the operators all
long that road from Cincinnati to Lafayette,
ad., inquiring if the earthquake shock hat
;t;ii ieic in Cincinnati, and stating that it
id been perceptible at the offices from
hicb the inquiries were sent About
o'clock, Cincinnati time, the operator
;rccived a slight tremor in the
g. The same tiling was noticed in vim
llees in tho city, but was not attri^-^H
ie earthquake until telegraphic
om the West had come in. It w^qotte
ffcrent in some of Uie suburbs of Cinotaieti,
i Clifton the agitation was so violent as to
ng bells on tables and in some instances at
>ors. In Cumminsville, the northwestn
ward of Cincinnati, the tremor
as felt so distinctly as to cause
uito an alarm, not only in the
ublic schools, whero the pupils were
rith difficulty kept in their seats, bat also in
rivato houses. The shock was so slight in the
usiness part of the city as not to be noticed by
majority of the citizens. The time of the
irthquake, as reported by those who noticed
;, varies from 2:30 to a few minutes after
, and the duration of the shock is variously
jported frcm ten to twenty seconds. Adices
from Indiana report tbat the shock wai
sit at Seymour a few minutes before 3 o'clock,

i Lawrenceburg, IncL, about the same time.
11 the latter town the shock was so violent as
jjiej^ecognized by every one as that of an
firthquuke. It. caused great alarm in the'
?hool-house, which 'va? -soon yacated
y the pupils. The clock was" th. own
x>m the shelf. Many of the children in
leir frantic endeavors to get out of tha
uilding jumped out of the windows of the
>wer story. No one was hurt, however,
he tremor, where it was not sovere, rembled
that caused by a heavily loaded
agon passing along the street or a railad
train rustling by. The indications are
at the wave passed from southwest to
>rtheast.
Toledo, Ohio: Reports from various points
this vicinity show that the shock of earthmko
which occurred this afternoon was
lite general throughout Norlhwestern Ohio
id Southern Michigan. Tho duration of
e shock was from ten to thirty seeds
and tho course apparentfrom
southwest to northeast,
was most violent at Defiance, Ohio, where

The Trainer and the Tl?er.
A somewhat sensational incident
marked one of the performances, recently,
at the Cape menagerie at St.
Etlennc, near Paris. Agop, the wellknown
trainer, had scarcely entered the ^
cage of one of the tigers when the feroiMniiQ
hrnto snranc tinon him and beiran .^1
worrying him with tooth and claw. The
audience scrcamcd with horror, and a
general rush for tho door of the tent begau.
Agop, however, kept C?Qlr andin ^
spite of some fearful laceratiiiUaJ^over
tlic body and great loss of bloodTouglit '
with such determination that ho finally J
overcame the tiger, which crouched at I
his feet. Not content with this victory,
Agop was loolhardy enough to force "it
through its usual exercise, to the won- ^ .
dcrmcnt and admiration of the crowd, r ^
wto had stopped momentarily in their [
flight. The tamer then left the cage,
and all torn and bleeding Jus he was proccedcd
to that continuing a lioness?
which had formerly made a meal of
Fernet, one of his predecessors in the
perilous situation. He entered the cage
totally unarmed, and succeeded in putting
the lioness through. her habitual
jumps, after which he left the cage.
Agop then had his wounds dressed. l. ;
