The rope wai then thrown over the lowe: branch of a tree and drawn taal. Then it wai loosened, and the leader* of the crowd began to parley with him. 44 Boys,' be answered in a pleading way " you don't know what yon are doing.

"Von 'plugged a ((rub ' and put it in Btrend'i wood-pile," laid Martin. " I have been paniihed for that in th* penitentiary. I have a right to live here and i inteiid to do >. You have no ri^hl to disturb me," be answered. The rope wai Main drawn tight, anc Olson waa- lifted from the ground, bat let down gasping for bruath.

A rush ai then nade for the doomed man. He waa dragged to the tree agaiu. and litre i.. men tugged at the rope till his head was i.iroed tightly against the limb.

A TALL VABM AkontMt AllfCMl i'rofur' Kip with Pour n mi, i n i A Bt, Petersburg deipatoh *ayi : Report! oom from a diitant village in Southern Rait i > of the performance* of the Count Xouroboff, a nobleman who poses as an amateur doctor and icientiit. lie wai recently arreited, charged with cruelty to children, but escaped thiough a tochnl oality. It appears that he bought four children 3 years old, from poor parents, stod confined them in separate roomi. Tbey were taught absolutely nothing, and were waited upon by a deaf and dumb attendant. They wsre plentifully lupplied with food, and the rooms were large and well warmed and ventilated, but they were allowed no clothing. In faot they were caged like bean. In explanation of hii conduct the count i xplained that he wai endeavoring to diioover what instinoti were natnral to the human ai.imal. It was proved that he never struck nfoitunate children, who developed into perfect wild beast*, unable to talk and with BO notions of deoeucy. They would bowl aod snarl and tear their food like animali. Bine* his trial the count boards hit protegee with different famUiis, and will educate and provide for them during the remainder of their lives. Men of loieuo* are interested in the problem whether they will be able to restrain the children from their savagery. LAND HI M. lit. Tweatv Thenwad Boomer* Cherokee Btrlp. Aa Arkansai City dsspatob BSJ i IBTIMI* the To night it is estimated that from the different pointi of entrance 40000 people have pained the border into th* Cherokee strip, and bait that number itaked their claims. All day long lines of canvas-covered wargons were cromung the border. For a mouth the boomer* have been gathering on the fron- tier. At all th* principal point* of assem- bly "boomer" Msooiationi were formed. It is tho general belief among the leaaeri that President Harrison will not iniiit upon tbsir removal when once the settlers are established on their olainit. The excite- ment here equalled ia intensity that which accompanied the invasion of Oklahoma a year ago. The invasion came with a rash. No one expected it. The tenanti of the strip, the Cherokee Live Block Association, and the agents were taken unaware*. Chief Mayei, of tb* Cherokee Nation, placed at the diiposal of the former a contingent of Indian police, but they were powsrlen to cope with th* invasion. Bo far at known the imall military force in the strip bad no tffecl in retarding the movement. The herds of cattle grazing on the strip Itam- peded at tbe tight of the invader*. A MOCK MABK1S.OB Which Tnrn* Ot 8erlontly For Former Hamilton Couple. A Fall River (Mass.) deipatoh of yester. day fe> s : Charles Perron and Louise A.

In a spirit of jest mock marriage wa* proposed, and these iwo volunteered to act the leading roles, md a ypang man named Bishop acted as be officiating party. Nothing more was thought of it until tbe young woman com- menced to be tormented by her associate* at the Laurel mill with the faot, and later scandalooa storiti oame to her ears. This worried her so much that ibe sought tbe counsel of the Dominican fatheri of St. Inn'i chnrcb, where she ii a communicant. Iu nil vised her that linee this folly had given rise to the scandal, providing the 'oung man WH willing, the couple ihonld e legally married. Perron was seen, and greed. 1 hu cate was submitted to Biihop larkii, who ODoiented, under tbe cironm- tenets, ti> give the couple a ciipensttion, nd so they were married.

An Interference with the Cnnrca of True Love. The prapee* of a World'* Fair at Chi- cago iu lit'.'- baa already brought out nnm eruoa application* for (pace from inventors and manufacturer! who wiah to exhibit their deiigos and produoti. Many of them will d oabilefB be rejected ai unworthy of tbe high character of the proposed Exposi- tion ; but, aooordiog to the itattment of a newipaper paklished in a town of IlllnoU, a citizen of that place has invented an article which he confidently xpeoti will not only be an illustration of Weatern in- genuity, bat will also become a medium of protection to tbe peace of mind of the bead cf every household poaseased cf a marriage- able daughter. Mr. J. Madison Jones, tbe gentleman in question, has a daughter of whom any lather might reaionably be proud. Although tbere is DO likelihood of her ever being a 1'reiidential candidate, it may be reoiatked that ah* ii a good girl, and, ksted by the local nickel- in- the ilot machine, weighs 125 poundi. Among her aJruirery was a Mr. Benion, a prominent aileiman in tbe local dry good* More ; and Mr. Jones became luipioioui that when tbe to young people lat m tbe [arlor on Baa- day i> veiling*, the y oocnpud the tame chair. Now, Mr. Jones bad heard much about tbe spread of Socialistic ideas in this country, and while willing to admit that some ot these doctrine* had a show of reason on their tide, he oould not bring lf to the point cf believing in a "oummanity of chair." Accordingly, on vtral occmion* at the breakfaat table be hid warned bis daughter against beoom- u.g a convert to such a pernicioa* theory ; but, although ahe liitencd atteotivtly, and oint-liinei remarked very demurely " Yes, ptpa," aud " No, pp*i" he could not fael a^urcd that h had made a favorable im- prtiiion upon her. One Sunday evening, when Mr. Benion and Mill J'jni a weru in th* parlor, Mr. Jones ijuittly, ai be thought, made hi* way to ths room. On entering tb* door hu found Mr. Uerson turning over tbe love* of au album ou the marble-topped oei.tro table, while tbe yoang lady wa* ii.t-ntly gtising on an eugraving entitled NapoK-on Crouiog the Alp*," which hung on the wall juit above the Hove, ihere were two chair* in the centre of the room, about ten feet apart, and Mr. Jonn, muttering something about looking for bi* i|*>ctaclv4, rather aheepi*hly withdrew. But he waa still inspicioni, and on returning to the diuing room he bit upon a plan which he felt confident woold not only clear up all hng< nnij doabti in bis mind, but aliu bring him fame and fortans. Tne idea waa nothing more nor lea* than that of a patent adjustable chair, apparently liae tbe ordinary article, bat 10 aountruuted tliat onder an excel* of weight it would link to th* fljor, *u1 a whittle, worked by oumprcased air, would unit a khriek akiu to that from a steam calliope in a circus parade. For txample, iiiii Jonts, as ban litaily been naui, weighed U5 ponndi. Mr. liuntnu s weight wa* an unknown quantity ; but, Mr. Jones, wbo bad taken part iu local contents for guessing the w, i^lit of hcgo, sormifed that il should bo al least ICO pounds. Bo, having completed bn chair, he adjusted it on the ntxt Hnnday i.i^ht to bear a weight of -50 Iuna, placed it in tbe parlor, and retired 10 the dining-room to await develop- ments. About II o'clock Mr. Benson arrived, and hu and Mui June* went to tbe parlor. A few minutti only bad elapted when th* ullnnstf wai broken by a weird and mo*l uui'artbly tbriek. Tb* hirud girl, who had jukt returned from a meeting of Beooud Ad- veuiut* and waa lumptitioaily regaling li<nilt with cold beef and pickles iu the kiluhen pantry, hcaiJ tbe lar-spUttiug luuud, and, emitting almost as loud a . ii am, rushed into the > ard, mouuttd the wahr barrel, and, leaping ovor tbe fauoe, Ui.dcii iu a tub of olotnt* and water which ibe ntxt-door neighbor had prepared for tbe morning wash. Mr. Jonecraahed to the parlur and fouud th* chair in a Mate of col- il *", the ury goodi clerk on hi* back ou tli lluur, vaiuly ul a wing at tbe air, and Miti Jones Heated 1 urkub taihicn ou tbe carpet, with a daaed look on htr face and her uiuutb full cf hair i ind, frantically endeav- lugti r range the Pvyobe knot other luxuriant treaces. Mr. June*' triumph wai complete , bi* daughter wai too stunned to make reply to hi* objurgationi, and Mr. lluiron luoontiaeiitly Mod, leaving buhiud him his oaue and ovenhoes. Mr. Jons* ha* no doubt thai bis patent adjustable obair will prove one of the chief attraction* at the Windy City's Fair, and thai it will eventually com* into u*e in iv ry well-regulated household.
