The day had been a hot one even for India, and it was an unspeakable relief to everyone when the scorch ing 3un began to decline at last, and the lengthening shadows of the. tall palms along the river-bank told that night was at hand. And now the Ilindu inhabitants of the neighboring viliage, who had been lying motionless all afternoon under the shade of their reed-thatch ed roofs, or of the vast overarch ing banyan trees around them, came trooping down to the water in a body. Instantly the whole bank of the great river-so lovely and silent all through the long, burning day became all alive with noise and bustle. Children paddled in the. broad, still pools, or chased each other in and out of the tall, feath ery bamboo clump that grew along the bank. Women filled their earth en pitchers from the stream, or washed their threadbare clothes. Men began to scour their brass lotahs (drinking vessels,) or to kin dle fires for the cooking of their meals; while a little farther down the stre.Am, a group of young. girls. wading out into the shallow water, fell to splashing eich other with might and main, amid shouts of merry laughter. To any one accustomed to the ways of India, it would have seem ed strange enough to see, upon the wrists and ancles of nearly all the girls, and many of their mothers likewise, heavy bangles of solid silver, which any western lady might have been proud to wear. But the Hindu. peasants, to whom saving banks are utterly- unknown, have no way of keeping their money safe except by carrying it about with them in this fashion-a some what hazardous plan, it must be owned, in a country swarming with the most expert and daring thieves in the world. Suddenly one of the girls, who had venture'd a little farther out into the stream than the rest, dis appeared uder the water with a piercing shriek, as if dragged down by some overpowering force. A few bubbles that rose suddenly to the surface were the only token of her fate, while her terrified compan ions turned and rushed back to the shore as fast as possible, scream ing: "A crocodile? a crocodile !" Several dlays had passed before any of the village women dared to approach the scene of this terrible mischance. At length, one bolder than the rest, ventured in again, and the others, seeing that no harm came of her daring, began to fol low her example. More than a week passed without any accident, and everything was beginning to go on as usual, when, one evening, a second girl disappeared in pre cisely the same manner as the first. ?'he .$error Zwas now universal, and alT~ the best hunters of the vil lage set themselves with one ac cord to get rid of this destroying crocodile. Baits were laid, traps set,. men posted along the bank with loaded guns to keep watch for the monster; looking for him as they might, but nothing could be seen of him. Several days later the wife of one of the villagers wss . washing her white wrapper on the bank of the river, when it slipped from her hands and floated slowly out into the wide, still pool formed by the bend of the stream. The woman at once waded after it, and had just succeeded in clutching it, when she was seen by those on the bank to give a sudden start, throw her arms convulsively into the air and disap -pear under water just as the other two had done before. About three days after this last catastrophe, Mr. Henry Sparks, the British Commissioner for the Dis trict of Jungleywallab, was at work in his offce amid a perfect mound at annaqa. hahia -every now and then to wipe his streaming face % (which, despite the numerous pun kah, or swinging-fan, worked by his native servant outside with a s cord passed through a hole in the it wall. looked very much like a half- c melted snowball), when he was sud denly disturbed by a knock at the door. i -Come in !" cried he snappishly, s expecting the entrance of some Hin- 8 du farmer or Ieasant with a com- -o plaint as long and unintelligent as b an Assyrian inscription. But at the g first glimpse of the person who en- p tered his face cleared at once. S< The visitor was a tall native, with a the handsome features and stately ti I bearing of' a Mahratta. His figure, rt nearly six feet in height. was so if! gaunt and sinewy that it seemed to be made of pin-wire, and his pierc- a] ing black eyes looked out from be neath the folds of.his white turban ci with the quick, keen. watchful p, glance of a practical hunter. w In truth, Ismail, the Mahratta, was well used to tracing other game bi besides deer or tigers. Over and bi above his occupations as scout, a hunter and government courier, lie fe was in constant request as a de- jt tective, and, for tracking down ti either a wild beast or a criminal, he a] had no equal in Bengal. Gliding into the room as noise lessly as a shadow, he made a low w salaam, and said in his own lan- n guage: h "May the humblest of his ser- 'o vants speak to the Sahib ?" (mas- hi ter.) : There was nothing particularly ti humble, it must be admitted, in the g speaker's bearing; on the contrary, T he held himself erect. and looked ci the Commissioner full in the face fi with the air of a man who knew his a own value, and had something to e tell which he felt to be worth hear- a ing; but Mr. Sparks, with whom Is- hi mail was an old acquaintance, ap- fE peared to understand these signs perfectly, and said: rc "What has Ismail to tell ? I am B listening." g "I have 1:!en at the village of tr Ramganj," answered the Mahratta, w laying a stress upon the la3t word. h, "Ramganj '-" echoed Mr. Sparks. to "Ah, to be sure;' the place where ti, that crocodile's been eating up so a, many people." et "Are you quite sure, Sahib" asked the Hindu keenly watching the effect of his words, ' that it was a crocodile that did it ?" The Englishr an started. and looked fixedly a. Ismail's immov T able iace. l 'That's how I heard the story told," rejoined he. "If it wasn't a g crocodile what was it?'' "Did the Commissioner, Sahib," w inquired Ismail. "ever hear of a crocodile being so nice in his eat- fc ing as to dc vour none hut women, and only such women as had plen- ci ty of silver bangles on ?"t Again Mr. Sparks gave a slight tart, and the sparkle of his eye showed that he was beginning to guess the ri ldIe, but he took care o1 to make no interruption, seeing s that Ismail wished to have the d pleasure of telling the whole story jle himself.I "I went to the village," con- b tinned Ismail; "and talked with W the yeople. Tben I dived into the i rner (my lord knows that I cai in find my way through water as well as through thickets), and at the bot- n< tom I came upon a noosed rope. fc The Commissioner nodded with the air of a man who. understood the whole affair perfectly, but still he said nothing. "The~ Sr.hib understands how it s was done," proceeded the Hindu. "When any woman worth robbing n< went into the water, the noose tan- mr gled her fect, and the robber hid- J~ den among the bushes on the oppo- fr site bank, dragged her down and w drowned her, and then plundered m the corpse at his leisure." "I see," said Mr. Sparks. '-Well,0 Ismail, you knoig there's a Govern ment reward of a thousand rupees it (500) for every murderer brought to justice; see what you can make i~ s ot the case." The Mahratta's black eyes flash- -t ed fire, for five hundred dollars is n more to a Hindu than five thousand to a white man, and such a chance n did not come to him every day. Hieh went out without a word, but Mr. te Sarr= felt untisfnad that there k rould be news of the criminal be :re long. Ismail plunged at once into the urrounding jungle, and traversed at a pace which few men ould have kept up over such round and in such a climate, till a e came in sight of Ramganj, hut g istead of entering the village he tl 1ruck down a by-path to the river, T Fam across, went slowly up the Y ri pposite side till he came to two ainboo-clumps close together, and h roping in the water besides them b ulled up a rope.

YOUNG. From the Denver Tibune. Hearing that Brigham Young. Jr., nd his family had arrived from alt Lake and were quartered at ie American House, one of the ribune reporters took a notion esterday morning that he would in down and interview Mrs. Young. 'he scheme of interviewing Brig am was an old one-there would e no enterprise in anything of that ind, but te idea of a chat with the ife seemed new and brilliant. "Can I see Mrs. Brigham Young i the parlor for a few moments?" iquired the reporter at the office :unter of the American House. -Walk up to the parlor and I'll nd out," said Mr. Smith. The parlor was the largest the re orter had ever seen. It was eighty et one way and seventy the other, nd the ceiling was so high that the porter thought they must have to se a telescope to determine when needed wfitewashing. He sat :wn in a chair in one corner. Pret r soon a tall, stout lady entered ie room. "Mrs. Young, I suppose?" asked ic reporter. "Yes sir," answered the lady. "I have called, madam," said the ,porter, "to ascertain your views a questions involved by polygamy ad institutions peculiar to Mor lonism." "Ah, sir," said the lady pleasant r, as she took a seat, "I fear I shall 3 unable to gratify your curiosity. [y husband'has gone out for a walk; hen he returns he will doubtless D glad to advise you upon any >pic concerning our faith of which may be proper to say anything." "But I wish to obtain your views," s:plained the reporter. "Mr. Young as frequently been heard through ie press, wb'e ' wife has never een interviewed. May I hope, iadam, that you will accord the 'ribune the honor of being the first > convey to the public your-" ,-Did you wish to see me?" in uired a small, thin lady, who had tered the parlor quite noiselessly. '-Excuse me said the reporter, but Mrs. Young was the lady I sked for." "Well, I am Mrs. Young," said ie small, thin lady. "Yes," said the tall, stout lady, his is Mrs. Young, and so am I. 'his is Sophia, Mr. Young's fourth ife, while I am Margaret, his ser ath wife-he calls me Birdie." The reporter was considerably mbarrassed. He might have been appy with either, were tother fair armer away. "Be seated, madam," said he; [ have called to ascertain your Lews on the questions involved by lygamy and other institutions eculiar to Mormonism." "Oh, but I've nothing to say," rotested the small, thin lady; Brigham will be in shortly, and ayt be he'll talk with you." "But, madam," urged the repor r, "Mr. Young has frequently been aard from through the press, while is *ife-beg pardon, I mdan his ives have never-," "Who was it wanted to see me in ie parlor?" asked a red-haired, eckled-faced lady coming into the >om at this juncture. "Why, this gentleman is a repor r," explained the tall, stout lady md he has come to interview us' [r. reporter, this is Mrs. Lucy oung, my Brigham's second wife." Mrs. Lucy Young bowed stiffly id sat down on a hair-cloth sofa. "I'm not going to be interviewed," as said. "If there's any interview g to be done, Briggy's got to do "Hello, girls, anybody down here ant to see me?". The inquirer was a curly-headed, d-cheeked young lady, who came uncing into the room very uncere oniously. "It's a reporter come to interview i," said the freckle-faced lady. "A reporter? W hy, how funny !" claimed the curly-haired, red eeked young lady, laughing heart y. She sat down next to the re orter. "I'm one of the Mrs. Young," iid she, "but I mustn't say a word iat is liable to be printed. Brig ould never forgive me if I did. mn his fourteenth wife, you know, aI he's awful jealous. Oh,-there ou are, Emma. Come in dear. [ere's an editor who wants to in ~rview us.' Emma was another wife-the ighth. She was cross-eyed, but therwise comely to view. She 'as followed by Rachel, the third ife, who was" brown-haired and lue-eyed, and demure looking. 'hey were duly introduced. The porter felt himself called upon to ammence all over again. "Mrs. Young,'' said he, address ig the group, "I have called to as rtain your views on questions in olved by polygamy and other in itutions peculiar to the Mor ions." "Wouldn't it be better to call the ..t Or nS before we attampt to be interviewed?" suggested the eighth Mrs. Young. "'Perhaps so," said the reporter. "But-but-but how;many are there of you?" "Oh, we're quite a family," said the fourth Mrs. Young, and going to the parlor door called out: "Maud, Jennie, Clara, Rebecca, Harriet, Mabel, Ruth, Julia, Frances Mary, Caroline, Esther, come into the parlor, and bring the rest of us with you?" The reporter pinched himself to discover whether he was awake. There was no doubt about it. Mrs. Young began to stream into the parlor. There was every varie ty of her. She was tall, short, fat, leau, red-faced, pale-cheeked, plump, scrawny, old, young, sour, pleasant, vivacious, stupid, graceful, and awk ward. The parlor got crowded why don't they have bigger parlors at the American House. anyway? The idea of expecting a reporter to interview Mrs. Young in a room not more than Gx8! The air was stifling. The reporter felt as if he were going fo faint. He began to regret he had ever undertaken the novel task of interviewing Mrs. Young. "Oh, girls, girls, here comes Brig. gy !" cried one of the -ladies who had teen looking out the window. "Where? where?" screamed the rest, rushing pell-mell to the win dows-there were seven of them and craning their necks to get a look at their husband. Such a scrambling and bustling never were seen before. Mrs. Young pushed, crowded, slapped, and scratched one another in tLeir attempts to secure a view of her liege lord. "See, he threw a kiss at me," ex. claimed Mrs. Young. "He didn't, either! It was for me !" cried Mrs. Young. "And immediately the rest of Mrs. Young indignantly asserted the kiss was meant for her, and then ensued a war of words, in which such endearing epithets as "You sadey jade," "You pert minx." "You mean thing," and "You cross old hen" figured conspicuously. The reporter crept wearily away from the scene. As he tottered through the hotel office Mr. Smith stopped him. -1 hope you succeeded in getting the interview you wanted," said Mr. Smith; "I did the best I could under the circumstances, but the fact is, quite a number of Mrs. Young have gone out shopping and others were feeling too much under the weather to receive callers." THE QUEEN'S EXECUTION ER. The late William Marwood, the queen's executioner, was born at Gouleeby, near Hornscastle, Eng land, about sixty-three years ago, says the New York World, and resided there up to the time of his death. He was a man of fine phy sique, about five feet eight inches tall, and weighed nearly 180 pounds. He received a good education, and was a Wesleyan preacher previous to assuming the position of hang man. He was a man of pleasing address, with iron gray hair, and his appearance was very unlike the ideal hangman. Marwood succeed ed the celebrated Caicraft as public executioner, and since assuminlg the position has hanged more than 100 persons, among them fo males. The way in which Marwood became hangman is interesting. Twelve years ago, when Calcraft was retired, Marwood went before the government medical depart ment and asked for the position, saying that he had a 'system by ghich he could cause instantaneous death to the condemned, and being quii,e an anatomical student he convinced the department that his system was superior to Calcraft's, and he was given the place. His first hanging was that of a man named Horry, who had been con victed of wife murder. On another occasion he hanged four sailors who had committed murder on the high seas. He also bad charge of the hanging of the men 'condemned to death for implication in the Phcenix Park murders. Marwood was a most pecnliar man and was of the opinion that gny muan hanged by any other than his system was a victim of crnelty. His knowledge of anatomy led him to change the ropes used by Calcraft, and he of ten asserted that a man hanged by him suffered no pain. When Calcraft was public execu tioner he used a rope but three feet long, and when he had drawn the bolt it was his custom to seize, the hanging man's legs and swing on them until-eertain that death had ensued. "That,'' said Marwood on' one occasion, "ied me to increase the length of the rope to nine feet which length secures a much better result. The way I do it the neck is quickly dJi!ocated, the spinal cord broken and the air pipes closed. Thus the lungs cease to perform their functions, and artificial apo plexy is produced so that death is almost instantaneous." In 1880 Marwood visited this ontq, and while in Raw York ADVERTISING RATES.

There he held a ehort conversation with Chastine Cox and Pietro Balbo, whr were then under sentence of death. and he looked them over closely from a professional stand point. Ile also inspected the gallows in the yard and its appliances. He prononnced them semi barbarous, and esplain. ed that the system in vogue in this country caused a man needless pain. Some time ago Marwood under took to deliver a lecture on "The Times." It took place in a hall in Sheffield, and the people, who ex pected him to say something of his professional experience, flocked to the hall, which was crowded'a min - ute after the doors were openid. He disappointed them, however, by speaking of the Bible, which he said "is the book of England', greatness," and reviewed mankind in general. He said: "The wheel of time is constantly casting people into eternity." "Yes" cried a wag, "and so is your rope." Marwood's lecture was a failure, and his audi ence discovered it before he did and clamored for the return of their money, and with wild yells greeted the retirement of the executioner. On one occasion some disagree able remarks made in parliament respecting a bunglin execution at Durham brought Murwood down to London, lobbying members of par liament. After an interview with the home secretary, he favor ed the house of lords. with a visit' and after leaving the strangers gallery distributed his autographs written on parliamentary note paper, accompanying them with his carte de visite. Inspector Dunning took the higman and his friends in tow and with difficulty piloted. them through the central hall, where a dense crowd of legislators had stop ped to have a look at the man who had probaby sent more of his fellow creatures to eternity than any other living man.
