On Sunday, Jan. 5, the Morning News
wiQ begin the publication of anew aerial
Btory, entitled, “The Great Mill Street Mys
tery,” by Miaa Adeline Sergeant, author of
“Jacobi’s Wife,” one of the most successful
of recent stories. “The Great Mill Street
My fiery" is a powerful story, and will ran
six months. It has been secured at very
eoneider&ble expense, and will appear
in the Daily and Weekly Morning
Ifrws. It can be safely said that it is one
ef the best stories that have been published
by the newspapers for a long time, and we
feel certain that it will be greatly enjoyed
by the readers of the Morning News.
Those who want to read it should subscribe
at once so that they will be certain to get
the numbers containing the first installment
of this great story. The story alone is well
worth the subscription pnoe of the Weekly
Morning Sews.
The Chicago Tribune remarks that the
democratic minority in the House is badly
split up. Thus far the democratic minority
has held together so well as to be able to
carry its point twice, with the help of a
fe sr republicans. It seems that it is the re
publican majority which is split up.
Anew cook has been selected for the
white bouse, and there is rejoicing among
the colored people of Washington because
she is of their color. Her name is Dollio
Johnson, and she has spent most of her life
as a cook in Kentucky. Probably she will
pit some appetizing southern dishes
on the President’s table.
"When Chief Justice Fuller was appointed,
to too of the paragraph®™ said that the su
pperne court bench would be “fuller” than
e rer before. In connection with that re
mark, Justice Blatchford cracked a jokelot
the other dap. He said that it was because
President Harrison hoped to keep the bench
•‘fuller” that a Brewer was appointed.
This country will hare a chance to see a
SOD of Queen Victoria next year. The
Di ike of Connaught, the queen’s third son,
will visit Canada in May, after which he
wtH make a tour of the United States. He
is now in Japan. He was in America
in 1880, and was so greatly pleased
with his visit that he wants to come to see
hi again.
The members of the Kan Francisco
Athletic Club aro in a flutter of excite
ment. They have received a telegram say
ing that Jackson, the colored pugilist, is
willing to fight Bullivan. They believe
that the fight is going to come off, notwith
standing Sullivan has declared that he
would have nothing to do with a black
pugilist. It must be admitted that Jack
son’s willingness to fight Sullivan does not
insure a fight.
Mrs. Fairfax, of Washington, who draped
her house in mourning for the late Jefferson
Davis, received a notice, decorated with the
regulation skull and cross bones, that if she
did not remove the emblems of grief at
once her home and all in it “would be
blown to perdition with dynamite.” The
threat didn’t frighten her. She sent the
notice to the chief of police, and tho crepo
on her house remained there until after Mr.
Davis was buried. Mrs. Fairfax is gritty.
Col. Dudley visited Indiana the other
day, for the first time since his “blocks of
five” letter was made public. It seems that
only Attorney General Micheuor knew that
he was coming. The attorney general, who
is also a prominent republican campaign
manager, met him at his hotel immediately
on his arrival, and they had a long and
confidential talk. Dudley told a reporter
that he did not fear arrest, but it was
noticed that ho kept himself very secluded.
Anew warrant for his arrest was issued,
but at a late hour that night it had not boon
placed in the bauds of an offloor. The object
of Dudley’s visit is not known. Some think
that ho is gon g to face the music, and
others that he is going to institute suit
against the Indianapolis Sentinel tor pub
lishing his letter. It is possible, however,
that he has neither object in view.
The Longshoremen's Strike.
The psotsle cf this city wo :ld like to know
why tta longshoremen refuse t> load ves
sel-! that are waiting in thi* port for their
cargovs? Business interests are suffering
greatly and the reputation of the uort is be
ing injured. Vessels mat are being de
tained here at great expense will not will
ingly come here again unless they are of
fered better rates than they can obtain else
where, and the longshoremen themselves
new! for the approaching Christmas season
the money they might earn.
Why the longshoremen have struck is not
very dear. They complain of nothing, so
far as their interests are concerned. They
are not asking for an increase in their
wages, nor do they say that their hours of
labor are too long. It would be interesting
to the public if they would come forward
and frankly give the reason for the course
they are pursuing.
In all that has appeared ia the public
prints there does not seem to be any issue
between'them and anybody els*, and no
legitimate excuse whatever for the strike.
All that appears on the surface is that there
is some trouble between the steamship
Thalia and her agents. The sgeuts claim
certain fees wnieh the captain of the Thalia
refuses to pay. The captain took
the Thalia from the control of the
agents, and then the stevedore of the agents,
who had been loading the Thalia, refused to
continue to load ter. All the other steve
dores of the fort also refused to finish load
ing her, and the captain of tne Thalia began
loading her himself with such assistance as
he could obtaiD. Then the loading of all
the other vessels in port was stopped.
But why was the loading of other vessels
stopped? What have the differences be
tween the Thalia and her agents got to do
with other shipping agents, other steam
ships and the longshoremen i Is the busi
ness of the port to come to a standstill
whenever there is a difference between a
vessel and her agents? Why not let those
directly interested settle their troubles in the
courts, or in any other way they may see
fit? Why should other agents, other ves
sels and other vast interests be made to
suffer because of an issue between them?
What a spectacle this port presents now!
The Thalia is putting her cargo aboard the
best way she can, and in the meantime
hundreds of longshoremen are sitting
around waiting for the job to be finished,
the business of other shipping agents and of
exporters is stopped, and steamships at a
heavy expense are waiting for their cargoes.
Is this a spectacle to be proud of?
We don’t kuow anything of the merits
of the differences between the Thalia and
her agents, and as far as we are able to
discover, those differences do not concern
the longshoremen. But if they think they
do, they ought to be satisfied, it would
seem, by refusing to finisa the loading of
the Thalia. What the public can’t under
stand is their action in injuring other ship
ping agents, other steamships and the busi
ness of the port, for something for which
the port, these other shipping agents and
sfceamshios are in no way whatever responsi
ble.
The whole city has a right to be indignant
at their apparently unreasonable action,be
cause the whole city suffer* from it. To
have the port locked up, as it were, when
there is no principle at stake, is, to say the
least, alarming, and justifies apprehensions
for the future. It is a condition of affairs
to which the business men cannot afford to
submit, and to which they will hardly con
tinue to submit. They can find a remedy
if they seek one, and they should set about
seeking one at ance. They cannot find one
too soon, if it is the purpose of the long
shoreman to put the business interests of
the port in jeopardy whenever they have a
notion to do so.
The Johnstown Charity.
The relief committee that was charged
with the duty of distributing the money
that was donated to the sufferers of the
Conemaugh valley disaster has completed
it* work and closed its books. The total
amount of the donations of which the com
mission hail any knowledge was something
over $4 ,000,000. There were, of course, many
hundreds of thousands of dollars distributed
by benevolent organizations and religious
bodies which did not pass through the
hands of the relief commission.
The charity is spoken of as the most
colossal one of modern times. Contribu
tions were freely made in every part of the
country for the sufferers, and largo sums
were sent to them from Europe. Only the
other day the ex-minister to Turkey, Mr.
Straus, in defending the Sultan of Turkey
against a charge that had appeared in the
publie prints, called attention to the fact
that the Sultan had contributed out of his
private purse several thousand dollars to
the Johnstown relief fund.
The work of the relief commission ap
pears to have been quite satisfactory. It
was subjected to considerable criticism for
delays in distributing money in its posses
sion, but in announcing the end of its work
it took occasion to sav that these delays
were unavoidable, and that if the distribu
tion had been made before a well-digested
plan for giving the money to the most de
serving, had been adopted tho large part of
the charity probably would have been
s*kure4‘by those least entitled to it.
It will be a long time before the Cone
maugh valley is as flourishing as it once
was. Johnstown, however, is being rapidly
rebuilt, and the most important of tho mills
and factories of (he valley are agaiu in
ojieration. The people are hopeful about
tho future, and doubtless within a few years
the great disaster will have been about for
gotten by all except those who were suffer
ers from it.
According to the New York newspapers,
a daughter of Gen. Dan E. Sickles has
eloped with and married a bartender named
Dinham. A Fifth avenue girl, tho daugh
ter of an ex-minister to Spain, marrying a
bartender is a nine days’ wonder. It* sen
sational character will be increased when
it is remembered that Miss Sickles was
probably a member of Ward McAllister’s
400. The butler at Gen. Sickles’ home told
a Tribune reporter that the young lady was
not a daughter, hut a ward, of the general,
but other New York newspapers say that
she was his daughter by his second wife,
whom he marriod in Spain, and that one of
her sisters was married under romantic
circumstances.
The only matter of general interest in
the recent death, at Somerville, Muss., of
Mrs. Mary Tyler is that Mrs. Tyler was
said to be the heroine of tho celebrated
rhyme beginning “Mary had a little
lamb.” The Boston Transcript donies that
she was, but she has long been considered
so by people who interested themselves in
the matter. Mrs. Tyler was 83 years old,
and she was little Mary Sawyer when her
lamb followed her to school one day more
than half a century ago.
THE MORNING NEWS: SATURDAY, DECEMBER U; 1889.
The Gainesville Tragedy.
The killing of Ixmis Witouski, the
nay or cf Starke, Fla., by A. B. Thrasher
: a lawyer of Gainesville, Fla., in the latter
I city cn Wednesday, is unnecessarily clothed
! in a good deal of mystery. Our dispatches
! have given the facts as far as they are
known. Why the coroner's inquest should
: have been held in secret is about as myste
| rious as the killing. The facts will have to
come out some time, and why should they
not be made public now *
Louis Witouski was a prominent mer
chant of Starke, a* well as mayor of that
city. He was also a member of the board
of * oinirussioners of Bradford county. The
fact that no weapon was found upon his
person is regarded as satisfactory evidence
t hat he did not go to the lawyer’s office with
the purpose of doing any violent act. It
cannot very well be said, therefore, that
the lawyer shot him in self-dofense.
It is as-erted that a woman is mixei up
in the matter, and that the woman is a sis
ter-in-law of the lawyer. The woman was
recently an employe of Witousk i, and it is
*aiJ that he charged her with having been
false to the trust which he reposed in her.
He went to Gainesville to see her and get a
settlement, and threatened to make public
the charge which he made against her.
If this story is not true, it is very unjust
to the woman, and makes it clear that
everything known with respect to the trag
edy ought to have been made public at the
coroner’s inquest. The lawyer, however,
has made no statement, as far as we know,
and it is doubtless in hi! power to say
whether or not the story is true.
But whether the story is true or not, it
does not excuse the shooting. Unless there
are other developments putting the tragedy
in a different light from that in which it
at present appears, the shooting of Wit
kovski was unprovoked. He was invited to
the lawyer’s office, and was there killed.
, Hard Up for Senatorial Timber.
The republicans of the Montana legisla
ture are talking about sending B. Platt
Carpenter to the United States Senate.
Isn’t this a little premature ? If justice is
done, they won't send anybody to the
senate. There can be no joint ballot until
both branches of the legislature are organ
ized, and the prospect of organization
doesn’t seem to be very flattering.
Carpenter is the sort of a man likely to
be acceptable to a party that is willing to
profit by fraud. He has figured in quite an
interesting and not at all creditable way in
republican politics. He is the man whose
treachery made possible the nomination of
Charles J. Folger for governor by the re
publicans of New York in 1832. The
popular feeling was for Gov. Cornell, who
was about completing a term, but the
Arthur administration wanted Folger to be
nominated. Carpenter was a warm sup
porter of Cornell, whose canvass he was
conducting, but when the convention met,
he deserted him, induced the Duchess county
delegation to vote for Folger, and
secured Folger’a nomination. He was himself
nominated for lieutenant governor, and few
|*ople have ever doubted that his nomina
tion was a part of the reward for his treach
ery. These things are still fresh in the
memory of many people. The republicans
of New York were greatly embittered, and
Folger was disposed to withdraw from the
race under the fearful storm of indignation.
At the election, Mr. Cleveland received the
unparalleled majority of 192,000, and Car
penter’s vote wa! even less than Folger’s.
Spurned by his party. Carpenter was ap
pointed by President Arthur governor of
Montana as a further reward for his treach
ery.
This is the man whom the Montana repub
licans want to honor. In the meantime,
what are they going to do with Russell
Harrison? Are Russell’s supposed manipu
lations of Montana politics to be barren of
personal benefit?
The St Louis Republic, attempts to show
that Attorney General Miller was not sin
cere when he deprecated violations of the
federal election laws at last fall’s congres
sional elections, and it produces a very
strong argument to show that he was not.
Mr. Miller, it says, had his attention called
to such violations in St. Louis, but .did
nothing to punish the violators. On the
contrary, he encouraged them by appoint
ing as district attorney a man who was
very active in raising the corruption fund
by means of which the frauds were ■perpe
trated. The Republic should know, how
over, that the attorney general did not re
fer to actual republican frauds. He was
striking at imaginary democratic frauds.
It seems that Mrs. Wilson Waddington
has not yet received her divorce. That she
has not is no fault of the defendant, how
ever. He has made no effort to prevent
her from obtaining it, and his actions indi
cate that he will be glad when she does.
The judge says that she must appear per
sonally in court before the case is decided,
and as she is quite ill, she will not be able to
do so for some time. The judge says also
that he wants New York to stop dumping
its divorce cases into Chicago. Tne best
way to bring about that rosult is for Illi
nois to make more stringent divorce laws.
Tho Philadelphia Inquirer said a few
days ago that the color line had almost
been obliterated in that city, but the In
quirer was mistaken. It was talking for
political effect. The truth is that the color
line is as closely drawn in Philadelphia as it
ever was. The republican newspapers of
the Quaker City may coddle the colored cit
izen, but, nevertheless, the colored citizen
knows that he is tolerated, aud not loved.
Ho doesn’t stop at the hotels, he doesn’t oc
cupy a front seat at the theaters, and he
doesn’t sit side by side with a white man at
a restaurant table.
The Rev. Dr. Rainsford, of St. George's
Episcopal church, New York, is said to be
one of the belt “shots” in that city. He is
so fond of hunting game that he sometimes
violates the game law, and a few days ago
ho was arraigned before a justice’s court
for having done so. Ho said that he did
not violate the law on the occasion referred
to, but that he had done so previously, and
he felt morally bound to pay the penalty.
The justice finod him $25 and costs. A
conscientious man like Dr. Raiusford can’t
afford to go huntiag out of season very
often, unless ho is quite wealthy.
The Massachusetts people who were so
enthusiastic over Mr. Cleveland in Boston
the other day should have shown a little
more enthusiasm for him at the polls last
November. The republican majority in
that state in 18S8 was considerably greater
than in 18S4. The unusual display of en
thusiasm for the ex-President at this time,
however, may possibly be owing to the fact
that Massachusetts realizes what a great
mistake the country made in electing Gen.
Harrison President.

From the Boston Herald (Ind.).
One of ihemoft eminer.: iurits in the coun

confirmed, that the position ** still vacant.
After a year * reflection and close observation,
the same eminent jurist observes that Chief
Justice Fuller is a worthy successor to the long
line of eminent men who have occupied this
proud eminence. This seem* to show that the
at.bfr second thought is the best, even in the
best of minds.
Congressional Dawdling.
From the Philadelph.i Times (Jnd.).
Tlii* habit of dawdling iway the first month
of tf.e session, which ha* liecorae a confirmed

Too Much Forgetting.
From the .Veto York Tribune.
United States Senator Colquitt, of Georgia,
delights in telling a story of his efforts at mis
sionary work among the Afro-Americans in the
vicinity of his home. He selected as a speci
men test “Uncle Gabe,” a former slave, who
had learned to read in a very crude way, and
to whom hs offered $5 if he would read the
Bible through to the end. Gabe accepted the
offer, and took away with him a brand new
Bible, and began his wrestle with the Scrip
tures. Two weeks later Gabe returned, Bible
in hand.
“Well, Gabe, how did you like the book?”
Gabe hesitated to reply and was pressed
further.
“Well,- Marse Colquitt. I tells you how it is. I
don’t like de book nohow.”
“Explain yourself; I don’t catch your mean
tog,” said the senator, "What part uf the Bible
did you read, Gabe?”
‘‘l reads, sah. until I gite to whar Abraham
fergits Isaac, and Isaac fergits Jacob, he ferglta
Joseph, and den I reads no nioah. There Is too
much fergittlng to suit me.”

Down to the yellow bay,
A boy and girl at play,
He and 1;
Across the sea spring sunbeams glancing,
White waves in airy state advancing,
Joy in our light hearts dancing,
While hours slip by.
Down in the yellow bay,
A youth and maiden gay.
He and I;
Upon the sea the summer sleeping,
Up to the shore the soft waves creeping
Time to our young love keeping,
While hours flash by.
Down in the yellow bay
W T e took our cheerless way,
Heand I;
The shivering autumn wept and wondered,
As on the shore the wild waves thundered •
We know that we were sundered,
While hours rushed by.
Down in the yellow bay
There wandered yesterday,
Not he, but I;
Chill winter on the cold sea lying.
Upon the shore the long waves sighing.
An old gray woman crying
While hours wore by. —Alice King.
A Novel Episode.
The following, vouched for as being abso
lutely correct, is furnished to the New York
Herald by Btuch O’Brien:
“Several years before the war my father
judge Thomas }I. O’Brien, now of Colorado—
was a resident of Washington. The lady who
afterward became my mother lived in Wash
ington, and it was during their courtship that
the interesting episode occurred. My father,
who was an inveterate smoker, had just paid
an evening visit to his sweetheart, and upon
leaving the house produced a cigar for his
inevitable smoke and then discovered that he
had no match. Observing a man approaching
m the distance, my father walked on toward
him, and upon meeting the gentleman stopped
him with, T beg your pardon, sir, but will you
oblige me with a light*’ Without an instant’s
hesitation the gentleman reached his right
hand around to big hip pocket and drew out a
revolver, with his left hand removed the
lighted cigar from his mouth, placed the cigar
in the muzze of the revolver, and extending that
toward my father, said coolly, ‘Certainly, sir,’
In the glare of the lamp on the opposite corner
my father recognized Mr. Davis. At the time
referred to the sandbagger and footpad was
holding forth royally in the capital, and Mr.
Davis had simply been prepared for the gentry
who were in the habit of asking the ‘time of
night,’ or ‘for a light.’ My father accepted the
light thus offered, and some time afterward
uoon being introduced to Mr. Davis, spoke of
his nocturnal encounter, and through the gen
eral explanation and laugh that followed an
acquaintance sprang up that continued to the
opening of the war.” , ,
Same Mrs. Day.
From the New York Sun.
People who contend that all things have be
come new should take their stand in front of ttie
village store—the same village store of thirty
years ago-"whereyou will on sale a fine quality
of N. O. molasses and the very best makes of
crowbar* and calicos.” A woman drives up in
an old-fashioned buggy, after an old-fashioned
Dobbin, slips the bridle off his head, ties him to
a post with a rope, and then enters the store to
say:
“Good morning. Mr. Perkins. What's eggs
and butter worth to-day?”
“Butter is down, you know.”
“Pshaw!”
“Can’t give but sixteen for butter and fifteen
for eggs.”
“Sakes alive! but I’ll take ’em home first!
Peddler offered me twenty for butter and eigh
teen for eggs only yesterday.”
“Yes; but you had to take it in tinware, you
know. I’m giving you tbe going price; might
say half a cent more on the butter, being as you
made it.”
“Well. I s’pose I’ll have to take it; but that’s
awful. Bring it in.”
There's nine pounds of butter and eleven
dozen eggs, and she figures with him to be sure
it’s right.
“Can’t get over the low price on eggs,” she
observes as the sum total agrees on both sheets
of paper. “Sure you didn't mean 18 cents?”
”I’m a little steep even at 15, because 1 know
you want trade. What is it to-day?”
“Got bedticking?”
“Yes.”
“How much?”
“Thirty cents for the best.”
“Thirty cents! It’s amazing! I got a letter
from my sister down in Ohio yesterday, aud she
specially mentioned that the very best ticking
was only twenty-eight. We are thinking of
moving down there.”
“Isn’t that fine?” he queried as he flung down
a bolt.
“Dunno. So many cheats nowadays that you
can’t be sure of anything. I bought a tick of
you sixteen years ago come March, and it’s giv
ing away a-ready. Warrant the colors fast?”
“Oh, yes.”
’’Looks to me as if the feathers would work
through as soon as the starch got out.”
“I’ll warrant it.”
She wet a niece with her tongue, worked it
vigorously between her fingers, and after hold
ing it up to the light, remarked:
“I spec't I’ve got to chance it. You may cut
me off nine yards.”
“Ten is the rule, Mrs. Day.”
“I don’t keer. I can narrow it in a little. No
body sleeping on a bed knows whether there
are nine or ten yards in the tick. I’ve got a
piece around the house, anyway, and I’ll work
it in somewhere. You throw in the thread, of
course?”
“I suppose I’ll have to. Anything else?”
“I 'spect I’ve got to get a calico dress for
Cousin Martha, who’s living with us now.”
“Ten yards?”
“Ten land-o’-days'. Seven is a big plenty for
Martha. She’s slim and poor, and she don’t
want to carry anything extra around. Six and
a half might do.”
“Why Martha, is as big as Mrs. Perkins, and
she always takes ten.”
“Then she’s extravagant. I’ll say eight, but
I know I’ll have a hunk of cloth left. Do you
warrant this fast color?”
“1 do.”
“No starch?”
“Just enough to glaze it.*
“And you throw in the hooks and eyes, but
tons, and a paper of needles?"
“Oh, I couldn’t do that.”
“Mr. Perkins," she continues as she retreats
a step, “we’ve been trading with you for twenty
two long years, aud we've alius settled our bill
the last of each year.”
"I know it.”
“Ami now you want to be stingy with us! I
guess I'll drive on to Strongsville.”
“Well, I’ll throw them in, but it takes all the
profit off. Anything else?"
“Some nutmegs, I guess. Sell ’em for a cent
now?”
“Good gracious, no! Nutmegs are 5 cents
apiece.”
“I’ll never pay it. I’ll wait until Mr. Day is
going down to Strongsville. I’ve lteen told they
were two for five there.”
“They oost that. However, I’ve got a broken
one in the lot, and I’ll throw that in. Now,
what else?”
“Nothing, T guess. I've got to run around to
Hannah Jov’h to give her a cure for rheuma
tism iu the elbow, and while I’ni gone you can
empty ray crock and basket, nut the parcels in
the buggy, and get the bridle on old Jim.
Weather feels like a thunder shower, aud I
guess I’d better get home early.”

One feature of the French republic seems to
have been the thinning out of tne coulisses of
the opera. They have lost all their old-time
splendor, and they are no longer the rendezvous
for statesmen and men of fashion. The ballet
dancers also have become more reserved. In
stead of congregating in the foyer de la danse
they stay in their dressing rooms, where they
receive a few very parrientar friends. Those
who are still addicted to the coulisses are called
lompin*. The tompins are rather second-class
gommeux.
M. Zola describes his mode of working thus:
“I am as regular as clockwork. Every morning
I write four pages of manuscript, no more, no
less. That makes about 800 words, and is all I
can do in a day and do it well. As I take a year
for each one of my novels, you see I have plenty
of time at that rate. Of course a large part of
my work has been done before I take up the
pen, and what I write the first times goes to the
printers with few erasures. No, I never dictate,
but write every line of my books with my own
hand, like this vouez-vous. ”
The naming of vessels of the navy is regu
lated by law. Vessels of the first class are re
quired to be named after states, those of the sec
ond after rivers, those of tne third after the prin
cipal cities and towns and those of the fourth os
the President may direct. The law is not always
observed as closely as it ought to be. but in the
main it governs naval nomenclature to-day.
The first act bearing on this subject was passed
in 1819, and was suosequently amended by that
of 1858, to bring it in harmony with the changes
wrought by steam navigation.
Two extraordinary cases of somnolency
are exciting Berlin. A brother and sister have
suddenly been attacked with the disease. It
began with the elder, the boy who is aged 11,
and a few months afterward the sister was
seized. While playing and in school they sud
denly fall asleep; also, while walking, standing,
or speaking, so that they, do not finish their
sentences. On recovering consciousness they
continue with what they were doing when they
dozed off. For instance, in the street they
continue to walk on, and always arrive at their
destination.
Vashti is a beautiful Persian cat living in

and until within a week queen of the mansion.
A visitor came, bringing a parrot. Vashti saw
and immediately felt a hungering desire for
parrot flesh. She approached and prepared for
a spring, when she heard in amazement the
sound as of a human voice issuing from the
cage, and her ears were shocked with a torrent
of oaths such as hud never before been heard in
that well-regulated household. The horrified
cat fled from the room, which she has never
since been induced to enter.
According to the best London authority the
secret of King Milan’s submission to the Re

does he depend on the Servians for his income
but he owes nearly 81,(00,000 ami his creditors

marriage with Madame Christies, the about-to
be divorced wife of liis former secretary by
whom ho has been most completely enslaved.and
as she is a clever woman, full of tact and finesse,
and with great force of character, it may safely
lie predicted that she will rule him firmly.
The term “Johnnie,” which was originally
coined in London, is now very generally used in
New York to describe the peculiar class of
pallid youngster who hang around stage doors
and frequent burlesque theaters. The distinc
tion between a Johnnie and a dude seems to be
that the former has money, while nothing is
needed to equip the latter but a silver-beaded
stick, a cigarette, considerably ill health ancl a
vapid smile. The Johnnie is also an improve
ment on the dude to the extent that he has an
object in life beyond cigarette smoking, even
if that object is the worship of a stage di
vinity.
Roscok Whitcomb of Waldo, Me., has a shep
herd dog which he prizes highly. One day last
week a colt that was fastened by a halter got
his feet through tne stall and fell in such a
manner that he was choking to death. The
dog was in the barn, saw the trouble, and, run
ning to the house, caught Mrs. Whitcomb by
the dress and attempted to pull her out of
doors. The dog would run toward the barn
and then catch Mrs. Whitcomb by her clothes.
She finally went to the barn, arriving just in
time to same the colt. Mr. Whitcomb said he
had been offered SIOO for the colt, and he feels
very grateful toward the dog for saving the
animal's life.
The observatory at Peking is the oldest in
the world, having been founded in 1279 by Knbla
Khan, the first Emperor of the Mogul dynasty.
There are still in it three of the first instruments
of observation. These were used for the obser

be used when, twenty-two years hence, this
comet agaity appears. The oldest observatory
in Europe is 'tlmt-wOunded by King Frederick
111. of Denmarkr,qn the island of Hveen, in the
Found, and when the famous astronomer Tycho
Brahe carried out his celebrated observations—
among others, that of the “bright” star in Cas
siopeia. The Paris observatory was established
in 1671, and that of Greenwich three years
later.
Charles Kellogg recently shot a very pecu
liar-looking bird near his grist mill on the out
skirts of Great Barrington, Mass. No one
seemed to know to what species it belonged,
and it was sent to a naturalist in Boston, who
writes as follows: “The bird is a Florida gal
linule; its native place is in the south, princi
pally Florida. This bird was hatched this year,
and it is not unusual for young birds to leave
their place of nativity and travel in the opposite
direction from which they should. You can
consider this bird a decided prize on account of
the locality from which it was taken, as it is the
first recorded instance of one being found in the
Berkshire hills.” The bird has gray plumago
and is web-footed.
The latest version of “The girl I left behind
me” comes from California. In this case the
young man did not seem to realize the girl's at
tractions until he got across the continent, and
then, after a year or two of hard work in Cali
fornia, and with the prospect of wealth before
him, he bethought himself of a young lady who
used to be a schoolmate of his in Maine. He
wrote to her to see if she had forgotten him.
She hadn't, and cordially answered the letter.
The return mail brought a proposal of mar
riage, which was accepted. A ticket for Cali
fornia <uime next, and though her friends did
not quite approve of the journey, the young
lady started. Unlike some who have made
similar trips, she liked both the farm awaiting
her and its possessor even better than she
thought she did before she saw them. The
wedding came next, and everybody was happy
at last accounts.
