When the Angol Smiled. A ohlld found an Angel grieving, and being asked the oause of her woee the Angel replied: "The funeral belle oall me to the bod- elde of e youth. Vice hM already found lodgmont in his heart, and I weep be- oauee I oannot pnrify his eonl before il enter* the presence of its Maker." Again the ohild found the Angel sor rowing, and again she made inquiry. "Death beckons me to the bedside oi a man in hie prime,” repliod the Angol, "and I fear for hie soul’s salvation. Ho had a heart of stone, and his deeds o( kindness were never heard of in Heaven.” The ohild walked forth once more, nnd again the Angel sat in a tearful meditation. "And will you never smile?” softly asked the child as she came nearer. "This time I am called to the dying bed ot an old man. He has lived his three soore years and ten, and the wlokedness of the world may have often tempted him.” The ohild fell ill and walked forth, no more. Fever-burned and pain- rooked, she tossed on her bod for many days, bnt one evening as the summer sun. was sinking away in the great blue, ooean the fever went away and the pains come no more. Then the ohild aeord the rnstlo of wings, nnd the angel itood beside her—not weeping and lamenting as before, but smiling aud radiant. “Why are yon here?” asked the child. “Because Death will soon claim yon.” "Bnt yon wept for the youth, the man in his prime and the old man,” "Aye I but a eonl without sin will be carried in- my arms to Heaven’s gates this night, and the eohoes of the rejoio- tag wifi be heard in the earth.” XILIiING A OAT. Mr. Boseen was troubled by a oat on a neighboring roof, and one night be jumped ont of bed and, picking np a pistol, started for the soene of action, waking his wile by his movements. “What’s the matter?” she inquired. “Oats,” he answered, briefly. “What have yon got in yonrhand?” "Gun,” he replied, savagely, "Oh, dear, take oare; take oore.” "Ogre, thunder I What do I want to take oaro fort” "Core will kill a eat, darling,” she whispered, and dodged under the oover, Editor—" ‘I Cannot Make Him Smile’” i. .coding title of her poem).

Eight In Part* Between Annrehlel* nnd Ka.Comniunl*t*. At a monster meeting of soclallets at Llmehouso Yard, London, a riot wn* caused by [Ki 11 co interference. Warrants bod been issued for the arrest of the speakers, but the crowd prevented several attempt* ot tho police, aud it wo* only after an hour’s fighting that they succeeded in capturing Hr. Hahon, secretory of tho Socialist loaguo and the steward of a German dub. They also arrosted six spectators. On the way to the police station the crowd followed the po lice and their prisoners, hooting and making repeatod rushes at them In the endeavor to release their friend*. The polloe, howevor, ■toad their ground well, making free use of their clubs and finally lauding tbeir prison ers in the lockup. Thousands collected in the court room when the prisoners were brought before a magistrate for a hearing. Tho constant of- fort* of a large force of police were requirod to keop order. Vociferous clioors grootod each woll-known socialist on hts nppenranco In the dock. Sevoral persous arrested f6r obstructing the police during the examina tion treated the affair with great levity. This roused the magistrate, who menaced them with luetant imiirleonment unless they maintained a quiet behavior. Several of the prisoners denied the charge ot disorderly con luot and accused the police of undue severity. Others maintained their right to speak In the open air, saying pov erty prevented their engaging halls for the purposo. Mahon doctored hotly that ho would continue to hold meetings in defi ance of the police. I)r. Avellng, the well- known socialist writer and colleague of Charles Bradlaugh and Mrs. Anne Beennt In their publications, appeared as counsel for one of the defendants. He accused the po lice of ferocious and hasty violence. He would speak nt Limestone again next Bundny, ho doctored with determination. The niagu- trata on this quietly remarked: "I would naviso you to do nothing of the kind unless you want to go to prison.” "I will sneak until tho prison doors close upon inel" repeated Dr. Avolliig. The magistrate denied that any question of th* right of free eiieech was invotvod. The prisoners were charged, lio said, simply with obstructing the public etreeta. One of tire prisoners wee discharged; another, who had assaulted a policeman, was sentenced to two months at hard labor. Kitta, one of the epeakere, was fined a sovereign; or, In de fault, sentenced to a fortnight’s imprison ment. Othere were fitted two sovereigns or given a month In prison. Paris has been the scene of a riotous affray at a meeting In the Bourse. A dispatch give* tb* following particulars: While Citlnms Jofferln and Allernano ware convening hun dreds of ex-communists inside the Bourse, •round a table covered with a red flannel tablecloth, for the purpose of drawing up a platform for the communist party at tho coming elections, hordes of anarchists burst Into the vast hall, howling and yelling the name* of their own candidates In a deafening chorus. The anarchists made a charge for the speakor'e chair, which was carried by etorm. Smashing the table to pieces and breaking up the seats, benches ami chairs, they threw I the debrie among tho crowd, causing much injury and Inflicting severs wounda Tne doors of the Bourse were thrown open and everybody rushed toward the placo of exit, the anarch ists and socialist* fighting fiercely with their flit* arid foot and with sticka Revolver shot* were heard above the noise of the molea, and the excitement, which was foar- ful, was increased by the shrieks ot the women. M. Georges Berry, the conservative muni cipal councilor, was seen leading out one of bis friends whoso hand hod been perforated by a bullet. Another mail was taken outside who had received a bullet in the nape of hi* neck, which was blooding copiously. Several other* received terrible injuries from the loaded canes aud the piece* of the platform and furniture tljfuwn upon them. Citizen AUentatio had Iris lip split, and a socialist hud bis jaw broken by a blow from the log of n chair or table. Others wore Injured by broken glass. After these occurrences an attempt was made to continue the meeting, with M. Chabert as chairman. He was assistod by the ex-communist General Kudos ami other notorious anarchists, all of whom made long and violent speeches, which were not heard owing to the vociferations of tlinso wim, un daunted by tbo provious proceedings, re mained in tho hull. The meeting brute up at S o’clock, but the rioting continued outside. Members of the different groups pursued each other as far as the Rue du Croissant, it slroet at tho back of the Bourse, where [JAnarckiete and many radienl papors are prlntod. Tho tumult was, however, promptly suppressed in this locality by the police, who appoarod on tbo spot in large numbers. oollisionTtsea. Two steamer* Collide In the I nglUh Channel—seventeen 1*1 vm l*o»t« A terrible colliuion, attended with nHuriout loss of life, has occurred in the English chan nel. As the screw steamer Brenda, of West llurtlopool, bound from Bassorah to Loudon, wan coming up tbo channel in the early morn ing she ran into a paddle steamer—tho Dol pliiu, of London. Both vessels were soriouHly damaged The captain of the Brenda, finding tho bow of bis vesBel was completely crushed in aud that she was making water rapidly, shaped his course for Dover, where bo re ceived prompt assistance from Lloyds’ agents, and was enabled to keep his ship afloat. Tho Dolphin did not fare so well. As soon as the Brenda had cleared from her it was found she was sink ing, and her captain, after ordering the boats to be got out, headed his vessel toward the shore, which was several miles distant. Tho Dolphin had not proceeded far when she sank. Most of her passengers and crew escaped in boats and landed at Kings town, but several jiersons were drowned. One of the passengers on the Dolphin, on being interviewed, said that immediately aftor the collision he found water bub bling up through the saloon floor. Rusuiug on deck, he informed the eap- tttin. An attempt was made at once to get out the boats, but they were lashed so firmly that they could not bo lowered for some time. One at last was launched. In uu instant the men, careless of the five poor women on beard, crowded in and Ailed it. An attempt wa* being made to lower other boats, when Mr. Phillips, the passenger, seeing that the vessel was sink ing, seized a life buoy just before he was swept into the waves. Several other passen gers had succeeded in getting into tho boats, though there was fearful confusion on board. When tho Dolphin settled and sank the Brenda steamed away, leaving tho victims of her imprudence to their fate. Seventeen of the Dolphin’s passengers and crew were missing. BHKEWI) CONVICTS.

Ten conviots escaped from the plantation of William Hearne, in Brazos bottom, near Gal veston, Texas, Monday morning, by outting the roof of the prison house. They made their way to the town, and entering the Montgomery house, while the guests were slumbering, stole the garments of the male members of the Htutts theatrical company, leaving the convict suits behind.

It seamed as though tha Puritan waa anxious to have tha cutter cross tha Una ahaad. If that woe her puipoee, It was accomplished, for the boats made their start thus: H. M. 8. U.

Tha weather gratified the Puritan’s friends at this ttma There was not such a large Hast of accom panying vessels a* on any previous days whan the yachts met, but there was still n goodly number of steam yachts and (team paeaangar boats, and tha latter were all crowded.

Jumbo, the *80,000 elopbant belonging to Bontum, woe killed on the Grand Trunk Air- Line track half a mile east of St Thomas, Ontario, the other night His keeper waa loading him along tho track to load him,when n freight train came up behind unnotioed and ran him down. He was injured so badly that he died in thirty minutes. The trtok elephant Tom Thumb wo* also injured,his leg being broken. Jumbo was probably the moat famous ele phant that ever lived, and at the time of his death woe the largest animal In captivity. He belonged to the African species, and woe about twenty-five years of age. Taken to tho London soologlcal gardens when a baby, as ho attained his growth ho was usod to con voy loads of children upon bis back about the gardens, and when so employed was perfectly tractable. As he grew older, however, he manifested an unruly de position when closely confined, and It wrut for this reason, It Is said, that tho coun cil of the zoological eocloty decided to sell him when Mr. P, T. Baruum opened negotia tions for his purchase in the oarly part of 1888. They feared that be would become pos sessed by the peculiar insanity to which ele phants at certain stages of lire are subject. When, however, the fact became known that the council had made a definite contract to sell Jumbo to Mr. Barnum lor £3,000, great indignation was expressed by the London press, and in a short time an extraordinary popular “croze” on the subject was developed In England. Jumbo became the chief topic of tho day, and his removal from the coun try was lamented as a national calamity. Every effort was made to prevent it, even in eluding an Injunction suit in chanoory, and the matter was brought before the house of commons The members of the council, roundly denounced as they were, adhered tc their legal contract, and late in March, 1883, Jutnbo wasombnrked for the United State# on board the steumsblp Assyrian Monarch. For weeks before the elephant's departure tho zoological gardens were visited by crowds ot men, women, and children of all classes of aoclety, who went to take a fare well look at Jumbo and to feed him with buns and other delicacies. Popular feeling ran so high that there were rutnore that a riot would take place when ha waa conveyed through the streets to the steamship dock, but the removal woe made in the early morn ing hours without causing any ,demonstrations except those of farewell. It la sold that the total cost of bringing him to tha United (States was 830,000, exclusive of the price paid for him. The height of Jumbo was eleven feet and a half. HU immense bulk was suoh that a front view of him was about us Imposing as a side view. Other elephants looked like pigmies boside him. His i runk for several feet after Uaviug'his head waaas thick os astout man’s body. When he lifted hil head and stretched his trunk upward, he could reach up twenty- six feet, or five feet higher than the largest ol the other elephants in his owner’s extensiv* herd. A HORRIBLE DISCOVERY. •towing tha Bonm of lino Bodies Molea from Cometorlea. A horrible dUcovory was made in China town, Bon Francisco, the other day. Infor mation was given the coroner that a fright ful stench was being emitted from a cellar In Pacific street. He went to tho cellar, forced his way in, and found the floor covered with human skulls and bones partly oovered with Utah in the last stage of decomposition. In an inner room the coroner found a number of Chinese engaged in boiling down the remains of other bodies, while sev eral other Chinamen were engaged in scrap ing the boiled bones and packing them in boxes ready for shipment to China, it U ee- m&tod that the cellar contained over 800 dead bodies, which have been token secretly from various ceme teries throughout the State. As an In stance of Chinese ingenuity it is said that those in charge of thesB operations, fearing that the etenen from tho boiling pots would be so great as to attract attention outside,had procured two living skunks, so that the odor ef the latter might overcome that of the former. The coroner has taken charge of all tbe remains Reports receivo-i from various quarters show that the recent withdrawal of one and two dollar bills from circulation by tne treas ury luis resulted in notes of those denomi nations reaching a slight preujtiuug THE NEWS.
