~1tutdiau Jtatt.Gmau. FRIDAY, JULY 3, 1884. SPECIAL CONSTABLE. Bow a Comedy Ended tn an AJ>J»llhl g Tragedy.' Two women, sisters, kept the,toll bar at a village in Yorkshire. It stood a.part from the village, and they often felt uneasy at night, being lone women. One day they received a considerable sum of money, bequeathed them by a. re. lation, and that set t.lte simple souls all m a flutter. · They had a friend in the village, a blacksmith's wife; so they went and told her with fears. She admitted that theirs was a lonesome place, and she would not live there, for one, without a man. Her discourse sent them home downright miserable. The bla.cksmith's wife told her husband all about it when he came in for his dinner. "The fools !"said he ; "how is anybody to know they have got brass in their house1" · "Well," said the wife, "they make no Westminster Abby's New Organ secret of it to me, but you need not go for What is practically a new organ, only to tell it to all the town-poor souls !" the pipes of the old instrument having "Not I," said the man; "but they will been utilized, was used for the first publish it, never fear; leave women-foll- time at Westminster abbey recently It alone for 'm aking their own trouble with stands muoh higher than the old organ, their tongues." · and all its action is on the tubular pneu" There the subject dropped, as.man an.d matic principle, and it has ·no trackers. wife have things to talk about besides It will be blown bv one of Otto's gas their neighbors. . engines.

The man's weight alone pre.vented it. The window was like a picture frame, and in that frame there glared, with lolling tongue and ~tarting eyes, the white face of the blacksmith, their courageous friend's villanous husband. She uttered an appalling scream, and flew upon the dog and choked him with her two hands. He held and growled and tore till he was all but throttled himself, when he let go and the man fell. But what struck the ground outside like a lump of lead was in truth a lump of clay! The man was quite dead and fearfully torn ·about the neck. So did a comedy end in 'an appalling and most piteous tragedy ; not that the scoundrel himself deserved any pity, but his poor, brave, honest wife, to whom he had not dared confide the villainy he meditated. FOREIGN NEWS. A. Few Items A.bout What is Going on ~ the Social. Business and l"olitical Worl · Since 1880 real estate in Japan has declined 50 per cent. Spain has recently shipped 4,600,000 vine cuttings and 3,000 young olive trees to Mexico. Two more St. Petersburg newspapers which publish fashionable gossip have been punished by having their retail circulation stopped. A new German expedition is about to explore the Congo territory· under the command of Lieut. Siegmund, who served with Mr. Stanley in the Naidi country. The official returns of the sa.lmon catch in England and Wales, la.st year, show that a quarter of a million salmon were taken, of a total weight of 1,418,000 pounds. For the year previous the total was 1,000,000. The arrivals last yea.rat Billingsgate were more numerous than in any other year since 1871. · It is reported from Athens that while the foundations of the new theatre at Pirreus were being laid the workmen came <J.cross indications of an antique structure, which it is expected will turn out to be a temple of Dionysius. The building operations have consequently been stopped, and the place is to be exbavated. · From a recent parliamentary report, showing tl1e number of illiterate · voters recorded a~ the British general election of 1880, it appears that in constituencies where there were contests, in England and Wales, there were 29,626 illiterate votes recorded out of a total number on the register of 2,148,622; and in Ireland 5,312 out of a total of 192,869. · A painful case of suicide is reported from l'aris. Some watermen found the bodies of a young man and woman, tied together, floating in the Seine. It was evidently a case of suicide; and from information afterward acquired it appeared that the couple who belonged to a respectable class of society, had been thwarted in their desire of marria.ge by the father of the girl, who had other views for his da.ughter. Thirty years ago a young woman named Cunningham left Sligo and married a sailor named O'Donnell, in Swinford. She afterward separated from him, and in America started a boarding-house, and died last year, leaving a fortune of over £10,000. Her sister has just been found in Enaland, after the next of kin had been ;dvertised for. This woman, who is in poor circumat.ances, comes in for the money. The J apan Gazette says: "Social circles have been agitated with t he proceedings in an action for slander brought by United States Consul General Van Buren against Mr. Tripler, an American resident. The trial took place before the United States minister, and although the slander was proved beyond a doubt, there being virtually no defence, and the calumny was of a very grave character, the damages awarded were $20 only." A Roman villa ha~ baen discovered at W oolstone, in the Vale of the White Horse, Berkshire, and some fine tesselated pavements have been disclosed. Several interments have also been discovered, apparently of the Anglo-Saxon period. The seax, or knife-dagger, is, strange to say, still attached to the girdle of two of the bodies, presumed to be those of Anglo-Saxon ladies. The excavations at Colonna, the village supposed to occupy the site of the Etruscan town of V etulonia, are showing good results. 'fhey are directed by the archreologist, Leidro Falchi. The necropolis is of large extent, and will take yeara to e:x:plore. The clay and bronze objects are of very rough workmanship, and . are worthy of study as evidence concerning the earlier races of Italy. Crime seems to be on the increase in Japan. On April 28 seven men were attacked on the highway and murdered, robbery being the object. On April 24 three armed men broke into the house of a sick merchant of Fuchu, Kanagawaken, killed the master and his wife, tied up the rest of the inmates, and, setting fire to the house, escaped. 'l'wo children were burned to death. The motive for this crime is not known. wni·d of £50 has been offered by one of tho directors for the discovery of the guilty person. The train that followed the onll to which the accident occurred contaioed the Grand Duke Sergius and Duke Aloxander of Oldenburg and the minister of railwa.ys and communications, Admiral Possiet, who was on his way to Moscow in a special train at the time. An event which reminds one of medireval times occurred late in Madrid. A carriage with two gentlemen drove up to the house of a maaon, and desired the man to accompany them immediately on pressing business. He complied, and made no objection to have his eyes bandaged on consideration of an ample douceur. Ultimately he found himself in a room wh.ere a lady was lying, gagged, bound, and weeping piteously. The mason was then threatened with a terrible death unless he built up with bricks the alcove in which this woman was lying. His story is that he had no choice but to consent, and that he was afterward conducted back to his house.with the same precau· tion as before. He lost no time in informing the police, who are now searching for the place of the crime. The success of the children and grandchildren of the first railway builders in achieving high social position in England is commented on by the London Vanity Fair in connection with the fashionable entertainments lately given by Lady Brassey and Mrs. Mackenzie. This success has been achieved in spite of the fact that, with the single exception of Mr. Albert Brassey, not one of the descendants of the great railway people has formed an autocratic connection. In the case of the Brasseys the sterling qualities of Sir Thomas and the literary and social accomplishments of his wife, have made them welcome guests in the most select intellectual and fashionable circles, and ii is said to be an encouraging sign that brains now readily find an entrance into assemblies where pedigree was formerly the only passport·. King William of Holland, and with him a strong party of the people, are decidedly opposed to the choice of a German to occupy the throne in case of the death of the crown prince. Durin~ the recent visit of the king of the Nether lands to Brussels, his majesty, making a speech at the last gala dinner at court, turned to the generals present and spoke of the Belgian army in most flattering terms. Ha.Jf.in earnest ancl half in jest, he· added; "If ever-necessity compelled, the DutchBelgian army united would give the enemy some unpleasant moments." The Berlin prints have already noticed the remark, and one of the prints, commenting thereon, says that in using the.£\~ words William III. could only have cop.· templated the possibility of a violation-Of the Bdgian neutrality by France in ap.other war with Germany. "It is clever," says the Paris ~oi;, "to point o.u~ your neighbor when it is felt t hat suspicion attaches to yourself. At Brussels, as well as at The Hague, it is well understood that danger for the Netherlands will not come from the south; but it is more to be feared from the easti,rn side. It is not toward Paris that unquiet eyes are directed, but toward Berlin. The hypocritical insinuations of the print in queetion will not succeed in deceiving either the Belgian or Dutch governments." M _ _ _ _ . . . . . . , . , ,_ _ _ __ __ _ _ ODD FAC.'l'S. In Lubec, Me., 4,340,000 boxes of "sardines" were put up last season. It costs not less than $33,000,000 annually to support the doge of the United States. H. H . Buell, of Manhattan, Kan., getting out of money in Chicago, had himself boxed up and expresseU home. The most remarkable known echo is that on the north side of a church in Shipley, Sussex. It repeats twenty-one syllables. The cotton crop of Texas last year was worth more than the cotton crop of the entire United States in 1843. Forty yea.rs ago the few settlers in Texas lived on game. To-day the State contains more than 10,000,000cattle, sheep, horses, · I mules, and swine. One of the largest and most prolific Marechal Neil vines in the United States belongs to a florist of Cambersburg, Pa. It has yielded more than 10,000 rosebuds in the last three years, and they sold dur- ' ing the winter at $15 a hundred. To-day it has not leas t han 2,000 buds upon it. Health anc!_!lappiness.
