That a man was being murdered in the street a block low. He could hear him loudly calling As the wicked blows were falling. And his keen detective instinct told him all he wished to know. By the sound his ear detected That the blows must be directed By a man with blind complexion with a blue and pontie eye. With his age a little bandied, Either right or else left-handed. And between four feet six inches and six feet four inches high. So he calmly sat and waited Till the noise had all abated. Then he strolled at leisure down the street, the corpse note. by means of clock-work machines in the large hotels and places of amusement. Guards were set upon the buildings metioned, fires were kindled at a given day, and the machinery was found, but little damage was done and public attention was not excited. Of course, all of these dispatches after being examined at the War Deparment, were sent by this valuable spy to Richmond. Later in the season thaspy made his appearance at Washington, with a piece of most important information, which was concealed in a letter between the two thicknesses of the re-enforcd of his cavalry trousers. It contained the details of a considerable invasion of Vermefrom Canada. The State Department needethis original dispatch for a case against Great Britain, but if it was kept, this valleable spy could no longer be effective. So it was arranged that he should be captured after he left Washington and the dispute sized. This was done; he was put in the Old Capitol Prison, where he was given a opportunity to escape. This he did, and appeared at Mr. Dana's room in the War Department, with a wound in his forearm, which he had inflicted himself, in order that his story, when he returned to Canada, might have a creditable basis. The escape of this spy was advertised in leading paper, and a large reward offered, but no person applied for it. He went to Canada again, and was back at the War Department in a short time with fresh dispatches. The war ended soon after, and the man was rowered with a position, and assurance of lasting employment in a War Department Bureau. As he did no remain long, Mr. Dana lost sight of him.

I asked all in the busy strife. "Hearts," said the maiden, shy and sweet, With happy eyes and blushes feet. The society belles smiled scornfully: "Hearts for you, but diamonds for me."

What is the difference between a lumberman's "caut" and a muloy cow? One can't hook but wood; the other would hook but can't.

Passenger on front seat—"That nigh one looks like a pretty good horse." Driver—"A kinder animal never lived." Passenger—"Kind! How so?" Driver—"He Kinder bites, and kinder kicks, and kinder wants to run once in a while." A number of years ago lived in one of the small villages of Ireland a Catholic family, consisting of man and wife. Paddy, like all his countrymen, thought they must have a cow; and the best offer being given by a Protestant neighbor, he concluded to buy the cow from him. On bringing it home, his wife, before milking, suggested that they should bless it by sprinkling holy water on it. At this time they happened to have a bottle of vitriol in the house, and Paddy, in his haste, picked this up, and sprinkled the cow well with this, instead of the holy water. The cow began to leap and plunge, and on seeing this the wife exclaimed. Vermont's Battle Monument. On the 16th of August, 1777, Col. John Stark defeated the troops of Baum and Breyer man at Bennington, and thereby won for himself enduring fame among the heroes of the Revolution. Last year New Hampshire set up at Concord a bronze statue of this gallant son of bears, and recently Vermont dedicated upon site of the battle—a shaft rising to a height of more than three hundred feet, and set upon a bulb which makes it tower still more conspicuously above the adjacent valley. This monument has been built by the joint contributions of Congress, a patriotic association, and the States of Vermont, Massachusetts and New Hampshire. Like Bunker Hill, Bennington has acquired a celebrity quite disproportionately to the forces engaged in the battle. Its real significance was less in the results visible on the field than in the blow it dealt at a critical juncture against a dangerous military movement. The British campaign of 1777 was based on taking possession of the line of Lake Champlain Lake George and the Hudson Valley, so as to catch in two the confederate colonies and separate New England from the rest. Gen. Burgoyne, with an army assembled in Canada for this purpose, moved southward through Lake Champlain,and early in July captured Crown Point and Ticonderoga, with great quantities of artillery and military stores. Then he drove St. Clair into Vermont and routed him at Hubbardton, while the supplies of the unfortunate American commander sent by boat to Shenandoah were also overhanded and destroyed. Gen. Howe at New York had meanwhile embarked his army and sailed to Philadelphia, whither Washington hastened to oppose him. Gen. Schuyler, in command in northern New York, had little but militia and the garrison of evacuated forts with which to confront Burgoyne, and obstructing the enemy's march by destroying bridges and felling trees, he retreated slowly towards Saratoga. Near that point Burgoyne learning that provisions were collected at Bennington,and needing supplies for his troops,sent out an expeditionary party under Col. Baum,Starkwith his militia,dell union his column and completely roasted it,taking its two cannon while Breyman,marching with a co-operating bodywas attacked by Col.Warner,aided afterward by the victorious troops of Stark,and was driven back with the loss of two more guns.About seven hundred prisoners were captured,and altogether the British loss amounted probably to a thousand men.It was a well-won triumph,and when the day was done Molly Stark was not a widow.The victory thus gained completely received the spirits of the patriots,the who up to that time had been uniformly driven back and defeated by Burgoyne,veterous losses in artillery and supplies.At last it seemed possible to check his bold march and destroy his army.Crippled by the loss of a thousand men and deprived of the provisions he had hoped for.Burgoyne's condition became serious;and,在 fact,two months later,a severe fighting at Bennington Heights,他 was forced to surrender his whole army.In the rejoicing over this greater victory,the part played by Bennington in making such a triumph possible was not forgotten.Congress pressed a vote of thanks to Stark,and it also made him a brigadier-general.Later in life it gave him a pension,and he continued to receive it.

FRED CRIST A number of years ago there lived in one of the small villages of Ireland a Catholic family, consisting of man and wife. Paddy, like all his countrymen, thought they must have a cow, and the best offer being given by a Protestant neighbor, he concluded to buy the cow from him. On bringing it home, his wife, before milking, suggested that they should bless it by sprinkling holy water on it. At this time they happened to have a bottle of vitriol in the house, and Paddy, in his haste, picked this up, and spanked the cow well with this, instead of the holy water. The cow began to leap and plunge, and on seeing this the wife exclaimed, "Ough, Paddy, but she's got the Protestant in her strong!" People Talked About: Bismarck's hair is snow white. Emperor William has a sandy beard. The Queen of Italy has a $7,000 dress. John Cullerton, a Chicago porter, has retired with $100,000 in tips. General Butler trots around Pemberton Square as bright as the bouquet in his buttonhole. The widow of Hannibal Hamlin was his second wife, and was the half sister of his first wife. Senator Voorboes attributes his continued ill health to the prolonged night sessions of the Senate last winter. The late Mark A. Cooper of Georgia claimed that at 83 he had never had a headache or a pain in a muscle or joint. Ella Wheeler Wilcox concurs with Kate Field that all bachelors over 40 ought to be taxed, the net proceeds to be used for the support of maiden ladies. Mr. Lowell was far from being a rich man, but such property as he possessed he left to his daughter, while Harvard received such books in his library as it does not already possess. Sketch of a Union Spy. The most interesting page of "unpublished war history" that has appeared for some time is that contributed to the August North American Review by Charles A. Dana of the New York Sun regarding a clerk in one of the departments who, in February, 1864, asked that he be given a horse and a pass that would take him through the Federal lines to Richmond, in order that he might bring back information from the Confederates. His request was granted, and after an absence of two or three weeks, he reported to the War Department with a letter from Jefferson Davis to Clement Clay, the Confederate agent in Canada. He went to Canada and returned to Richmond two or three times without obtaining important information. At length, however, he was intrusted with a dispatch to Davis giving the details of a plot to set fires in several buildings in New York simultaneously. California's Wealth. The census bulletin on the assessed valuations of property makes a remarkable showing for California. Although we are the twenty-second State in the Union in population we stand fifth in total valuation, third in value per capita and fourth in absolute increase since 1880. Moreover we are gaining. In 1880 we were seventh in total assessment, being surpassed by Illinois and Indiana, which we have since beaten. While our population has increased by only 39.72 per cent our property has increased by 83.23 per cent. According to the assessment we have added to our wealth within the past ten years $186,524,291, which means in actual fact at least a round billion—a clear gain of $100,000,000 a year. The bare increase in our assessment is more than the total valuation of any State in the Union with a population no greater than ours. It is more than the entire assessments of Kansas and Nebraska combined, or of Arizona, Delaware, Florida, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico, North Dakota and South Dakota. We have $886158 worth of assessed property her head, while the average for the United States is only $38762. Fight in a Council Room. Coronado Beach was segregated from the city of San Diego about a year ago and the new municipality elected a Board of Trustees and other city officials. For several months there has been more or less feeling engendered in the council over municipal finances and the trouble culminated a few evenings ago in a free fight, participated by the councilmen, the City Attorney, O. H. McConoughy and his brother. The proposition was to cut off the salary of $30 a month. clock-work machines in the and places of amusement. not upon the buildings men- were kindled at a given day, minery was found, but little out and public attention was course, all of these dispatches, annexed at the War Depart- at by this valuable spy to Later in the season the appearance at Washington of most important informa- was concealed in a letter be- thicknesses of the re-enforce rossers.

Astronomical photography has accomplished many wonderful results, but nothing perhaps more surprising than its discoveries upon the moon. The moon is so near by, and has been so carefully studied with the most powerful telescopes for hundreds of years, that the astronomers had come to think that they knew pretty much all about it, or at least about the face of the moon which is turned toward the earth. But it turns out that photography possesses the power to reveal things upon the moon which cannot be seen by the eye, even with the aid of the best telescope. A careful study of the negatives of the moon made with the aid of the great Lick telescope has revealed the existence of many unknown objects there, including great crater mountains and rifts or chasms in the surface of the moon, as well as some of those mysterious objects that go under the descriptive name of bright streaks or rays. Near the great crater which we call Copernicus another crater of nearly equal dimensions is shown upon the negatives, although it is almost from the south. revolver, boldly attacked the gang. In his haste to get a shot at them he exposed himself and was badly wounded. His attack, however, and the shots fired by the conductor of the train, evidently rattled the robbers, for they fled just when they had blown a hole in the express car with a dynamite bomb. It is thought that seven men were in the gang. Several officers and a posses of forty fully armed men were taken to Ceres early Friday morning and started on the hunt for the fugitives at daylight. In many respects the crime bears a strong resemblance to the robberies of the Southern Pacific trains at Pixley, Goshen and Allia, all of which occurred in the lower San Joaquin valley within the last two and a half years. Hunting a Big Panther. A big panther is terrorizing the farmers in the neighborhood of Beaver Brook Mountain, Vermont, and a hunting party has been organized to capture the beast. He is a ferocious fellow, half as big as a calf and as active as a cat, and he stops in a cave in the mountain, where he was tracked by Henry Somers, who was in search of a lost calf. He found a lot of bones at the entrance to the cave and a part of the carcass of his lost calf. A big panther was killed over on the north side of the mountain last fall, and this one is believed to be one of its offspring or its mate. The panther has grown very bold, and during the past two weeks he has been frequently seen prowling about the back yards and farmhouses at the foot of the mountain, and last week a party of children who were picking berries on the mountain side met the animal in the woods, but they ran and screamed, and the panther turned tail and disappeared. He has frightened several people nearly out of their wits by his unearthly screams, but he seems to be a coward in the presence of a human being, for he has never attacked anybody. John Grilling, who lives just at the head of the mountain on the northeast side, was awakened by a commotion and the bellowing of a bull one night recently in a field The Battle Monument of August, 1777, Col. John the troops of Baum and Breyton, and thereby won for king among the heroes of Last year New Hampshire, a bronze statue of this bearers, and recently Vermont on the site of the battle to a hight of more than feet, and set upon a bill tower still more conspicuous adjacent valley. This been built by the joint congress, a patriotic association of Vermont, Massa-New Hampshire. Hull, Bennington has accurately disproportionated to engage in the battle. Its real loss is the results visible on the blow it dealt at a critical dangerous military movement campaign of 1777 was huge possession of the line of Lake George and the Hudson cut in two the confederated parade New England from the Burgoyne, with an army assembled for this purpose, moved Lake Champlain, and early Crown Point and Tecno-east quantities of artillery and then he drove St. Clair and routed him at Hubbard-and supplies of the unfortunate snarler sent by boat to Shenandoah also overhanked and destroyed at New York had measured his army and sailed to neither Washington hastened Gen. Schuyler, in command New York, had little but militia of evacuated forts with Burgoyne, and, obstructure march by destroying bridges, he retreated slowly toward point Burgoyne, learning that collected at Benington, and for his troops, sent out an army under Col. Baum, Stark, fell upon his column and led it, taking its two cannon; marching with a co-operating brigade by Col. Warner, aided to victorious troops of Stark, pack with the loss of two thousand seven hundred prisoners and altogether the British probably to a thousand men, triumph, and when theolly Stark was not a widow, thus gained completely regains of the patriots, who up to uniformly driven back by Burgoyne, with enormous army and supplies. At last it was to check his bold march in army. Crippled by the arm and men and deprived of the hope hoped for, Burgoyne's uneasy serious; and in fact, two latter severe fighting at Bennis forced to surrender his part played by Beningham a triumph possible was Congress passed a vote of Kill, and it also made him a Kill. Later in life it gave him no continued receive it Another discovery, also arising from inspection of the negatives made with the Lick telescope, relates to the wonderful system of bright rays surrounding the most perfect crater in the moon, Tycho. This extinct volcano is some fifty-four miles in diameter, and is surrounded on the outer side of its lofty walls by a comparatively level region, some twenty-five miles broad, of a much darker hue than that of the crater itself or of the surrounding country beyond. The hundreds of great streaks which radiate from Tycho like the spokes of a wheel, varying in width from ten to twenty or thirty miles, and in length from a few miles to nearly 2,000 miles, have always appeared, when viewed with a telescope alone, to take their rise from the outer edge of the dark rim The panther has grown very bold, and during the past two weeks he has been frequently seen prowling about the back yards and farmhouses at the foot of the mountain, and last week a party of children who were picking berries on the mountain side met the animal in the woods, but they ran and screamed, and the panther turned tail and disappeared. He has frightened several people nearly out of their wits by his unearthly screams, but he seems to be a coward in the presence of a human being, for he has never attacked anybody. John Grilling, who lives just at the head of the mountain on the northeast side, was awakened by a commotion and the bellowing of a bull one night recently in a field about one hundred yards from the house. There have been several cases of cattle stealing in the neighborhood, and Farmer Grilling's first thought was that a thief had ventured into the field and was being killed by the bull, which is an ugly creature. Awakening his hired man, he seized a club and hurried out. Instead of the thief he expected he found the bull engaged in battle with a strange, catlike animal. There was a new moon, and it was light enough to discern the animals across the field. Mr. Griffing sent the hired man back for a gun, while he crept stealthily forward under the shadow of the stone wall which enclosed the combatants. Then he witnessed a thrilling spectacle. The bull had its adversary at bay, and was endeavoring to catch the animal on its horns. But the smaller animal sprang aside each time, and the bull dashed by and turned and charged again, bellowing with rage at its disappointment. At length big cat tired of such play, and as the bull charged again it darted past, then turned, and with a bound lauded squarely upon the bull's back. The bull, snorting and bellowing this time with pain as well as rage, dashed across the field, endeavoring all the while to shake off the burden. But the animal clung to its foe, sinking its claws into the bull's flesh at every step. Just as the bull dashed toward Farmer Griffing's hiding place the man approached with the gun, and the strange animal, catching sight of him, jumped from the bull's back and a moment later was gone in the darkness. The bull was terribly lacerated and was shot. One night last week Mr. Somers, who discovered the panther's hiding place, went into his yard very late, and the same strange animal darted away from the chicken coop, and with a scream that awakened everybody in the house, cleared a clump of bushes higher than Mr. Somera's head and ran off in direction of the mountain. A party of boys went up to cave the other day and found a lot of bones of various large and small animals and a heap of chicken and turkey feathers and pieces of woodchuck fur. They did not venture too near the place. The animal has created such fear that women are afraid to go out of the house at night, and keep their windows closed for fear the panther will enter their houses. A Brakenman's Wild Ride. Frank Bishee, a brakeman on the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad, recently took the fastest ride he will probably take in this world. He rode on top of a freight car from Haydenville to Hospital Hill, Northampton, a distance of six miles, in five minutes. The car was "kicked" down the line, but went too far and struck the down grade. Bishee put on the brake, but it didn't hold, and the car dashed over the rails at a frightful speed. At one time when the car had not reached its fastest rate, the express on been uniformly driven back by Burgoyne, with enormous army and supplies. At last it was to check his bold march in army. Crippled by the men and deprived of the hoped for, Burgoyne's serious; and, in fact, two other severe fighting at Bemis forced to surrender his body the rejoicing over this part played by Benningham, a triumph possible was Congress pressed a vote of killer, and it also made him a killer. Later in life it gave him the continued to receive it in his ninety-fourth year. In battle, which so happily lit up the memorable campaign worthy of the lofty obelisk placed upon the field, another historic event to add richness of the recent celebrities in 1791 was admitted that she can unite a cenization with the honors victory. The billotin on the assessed valuation makes a remarkable show. Although we are the initiate in the Union in population in total valuation, third fifth and fourth in absolute $80. Moreover we are gainers were seventh in total surpassed by Illinois and had since beaten. While taxes increased by only 39.72 property has increased by $32.33 The assessment we have added within the past ten years which means in actual fact at billion—a clear gain of $100. The bare increase in our asso-ciation than the total valuation of Union with a population no less than it is more than the entire Guinea and Nebraska countryside, Delaware, Florida, New Mexico, North Dakota state. We have $86.58 worth forty her head, while the United States is only $387.62. A Council Room. Men were segregated from the town about a year ago and the city elected a Board of Trusty officials. For several years been more or less feeling the council over municipal trouble culminated a few free fight, participated by the City Attorney, O. H. Meiss brother. The proposition the salary of $30 a month Traun Robbery. The Southern Pacific Railroad near Modesto was the scene last Thursday night of another bold and desperate attempt at train robbery. The Los Angeles express when seven miles south of Modesto was stopped by several masked highwaymen, who forced the engineer to halt the train and then assist them to break open the express car. They showed the nerve and skill that comes of experience, and no doubt they would have looted the treasure in the express car had it not been for Railroad Detective Len Harris. He, though armed only with a 32-caliber spectacle of the negatives made with the Lick telescope, relates to the wonderful system of bright raya surrounding the most perfect crater in the moon, Tycho. This extinct volcano is some fifty-four miles in diameter, and is surrounded on the outer side of its lofty walls by a comparatively level region, some twenty-five miles broad, of a much darker hue than that of the crater itself or of the surrounding country beyond. The hundreds of great streaks which radiate from Tycho like the spokes of a wheel, varying in width from ten to twenty or thirty miles, and in length from a few miles to nearly 2,000 miles, have always appeared, when sawed with a telescope alone, to take their rise from the outer edge of the dark rim surrounding the crater, but the Lick negatives show that some of the streaks at least pass through this dark rim and extend clear up to very walls of the crater. The suggestion that these mysterious streaks had their origin in the volcanic energy of Tycho when it was still an active crater, is strengthened by this evidence that the streaks actually reach to the crater itself. These discoveries are likely to give renewed interest to the study of the moon's surface, and while it is perhaps too much to expect that a great deal of light will be thrown by astronomical photography upon the question whether evidences of the present or former existence of life upon the moon can be detected from the earth, yet there can be no question that a new method of attacking the many problems that still remain to be solved concerning a character and condition of our satellite has been placed within the reach of astronomers. Skunks are altogether too plentiful in Connecticut. The gentle beast having overrun the country pastures and fields has peregrinated into the cities, and urban experiences frequently striped with unpleasant incidents. In Middletown the other night a young gentleman and young lady strolling along High street met a curious looking animal, dressed in black and white plaids, that troficked near the curbstone, and the maiden called "Passy, pussy; come here." The young fellow was unsophisticated, too. The queer beast trotted up to the lady's side, and she made a motion as if to pick it up. The couple do not speak to each other now. Liberal Translation. Many years ago, while some excavations were going on near an ancient church in the northern part of Ireland, a large stone was uncovered bearing a queer inscription in Latin. The church had been dedicated to a saint and missionary known by the simple name of Nucatus Ambulans. The inscription was as follows: I Sabillas Heres ago, Fortibus us im: Aro Nosces Marii he brex Votis linem pes an dux. Some wit who saw the stone observed that though not versed in antiquarian lore he could give a translation. In sound it is ridiculously like the Latin words: "I say, Billy, here's a go! Forty buses in a row. No says Mary, they be trucks. What is in 'cm? Pease and ducks." Lady (who has a spasmodic idea that she can learn German)—The genders bother me dreadfully. Now in German the "telephone" is feminine. Why, do you suppose? Husband (after concentrated thought)—Possibly because it talks so much.
