The artillery evinced in their disgust at their removal to Qunisan by refusing to fall in, and in a proclamation they threatened to blow the Chinese authori ties away with the small guns and the Europeans with the big guns. Their noncommissioned officers, as usual, all paraded, and were sent for by Major Gordon, who asked them the reason why the men did not fall in, and who wrote the proclamation. They of course did cot know: and on Major Gordon telling them, he would be obliged to shoot one in every five, they evinced their objec tion to this proceeding by a groan. The most prominent in this was a corporal, who was dragged oat, and a couple of infantry who were standing by were . ordered to load, and directed to shoot the .mutineer, which one did without the slightest hesitation. The remainder were marched back and locked up for an hour, with the threat that if the name of the writer of this proclamation was not given, and if the men did not fall in before an hour had clupsod. the arrangement of shoot ing one in five would lie carried out. 'At the expiration of an hour the men all fell in, and the name of the culprit, who had run away, was given up. After that time we had no trouble, the men were thoroughly cowed and the noncommissioned officers the real of fenders dared no longer foster sedition. It is to be regretted, however, that one life should have been sacrificed, but this saved many others which' must have been lost if a stop had not been put to the independent way of the men.- Gor don's "Taeping Rebellion." Literally Death by Inches. A Los Angeles physician told us the other day that the most trying time in all his experience was during the past five weeks, when he stood hopelessly by and saw a poor ranchman near Puente die by inches of what is known as pro gressive paralysis. The patient was first affected in one big toe. . In a short time the limb was paralyzed to the knee. Two physicians were called, and all the known remedies were applied to stay the progress of the deadening attack, but in vain. Hour by hour death moved on its victim. The patient was propped up in an armchair and fully realized his condition. He awaited the end with the coolness and bravery' of a martyr. As the line of death crept nearer and nearer his heart he made calculations as to how much longer he could live. He said, "liow it has reached the body,1 indicating the exact place . with his. finger. In a little while he said, "It has reached the bottom of my - lungs." Another short wait and he said faintly, "It has touched my .heart." and he fell over dead. Pomona Express. Electricity to Succeed Horses. An electrical parcels delivery van, con structed by a London electrical com pany, is a compactly designed vehicle upon four rubber tired wheels, and is driven from a seat similar to that of an ordinary van.. Switches are used to set the motor in operation and to apply the braku, while a vertical wheel and end less worm tiro revolved to change the in clination of the front axle and thereby ,:the direction in which the vehicle trav els. The motor is worked by accumu lators of suflieierit power to run from "two to two hours and a half at a time and at the rate of six miles an hour. It is claimed that the use of electricity over horse power will show an economy as compared with horse traction, and the company will immediately put the van to exhaustive experiments upon the London streets as a parcel cart. It will carry about half a ton of goods. New .York Telegram. Dow a Name Originated. About 250 years ago Jonathan Meigs fell in love with a beautiful Quakeress. He was repeatedly refused, but he per severed in his suit, riding seventy miles every Saturday across a country infested with hostile Indians in order to pass the Sunday near the lady at "meeting." On . the last visit, as he slowly mounted his horse to ride away, the Bight of his de jected face touched the young lady, and lifting her hand she beckoned' to him, crying, "Return, Jonathan." The phrase was adopted as a Christian name in the family that sprang from the subsequent union, and a man named "Return Jon athan Meigs" has just died in Washing ton. Yankee Blade.

' Cruel Treatment of a Mother-in-law. In Dantzio two weeks ago the shop keeper Gode, from Pasewalde, was sen tenced to eight days' imprisonment fox frightening his mother-in-law, . Fran Weiss, with a telegram. Gode owed Fran Weiss money and she provoked him by writing for it. She had once ' warned -Gode never to Bend her a tele gram, as she "was so nervous that it would kill her." Immediately after re ceiving the dun from her, Gode tele graphed back, "My wife is dead." Frau Weiss fainted and .was ill for a week be fore she . learned that Frau Gode was well, and that Gode had sent the tele gram out of malice. Then she had him arrested and punished.

Sag-e'a Seoata Out ul m Job. ' A class of persons who hare suffered greatly by reason of the bomb throwing tragedy hare hitherto escaped the notice of the press. Mr. Sage was doing a large business in options or puts and calls, spreads and straddles. He was not so greatly absorbed in this specialty as he was in 1883. He was caught in the panic of that year and lost a good many hundred thousand dollars, and since then has been more conservative than he was before. Still, this business pas amounted to a' good many thousand hollars some days and has afforded a number of men an opportunity of . get ting a living. ' ' These men are typical ' Wall . street creatures. You see them hustling here and there, buttonholing men and whis pering in their ears. They are tireless. They know everybody who is likely to take a little flier. Sometimes as many as a score or more of them used to go to Russell . Sage every day and ask him what he would charge for options on va rious stocks and securities. Having got Sage's terms, they scoured the streets. professing to give tips, and in the course of a week would bring in - many cus tomers to Sage. Their usual commission Was one-eighth oft. per cent., and the smartest of them could make from ten to twenty dollars a day. They brought Sage a great, deal of business first and last. But these men have been sad eyed enough since the ex plosion. . This part of Sage's" business life is ended as much as though be had been killed on that day, and it is a seri ous question whether' he will ever ro eunie it. This has thrown these scouts and commission agents, upon their up pers. New,. York Cor. Philadelphia Press. An imprisoned Whale. The people around Dark harbor, Grand Manan, are somewhat excited over a big whale which got into the harbor and cannot get out. The whale ran into the harbor on Friday, it is presumed in pur suit of a school of herring. At high water there is only ten feet ' of water at the entrance, and. as the water runs in for two hours after high tide, his whale- ship, when he tries to get out after that, finds the water too shallow for him.
