And then proclaims, with lofty brow.
Her mission is to be a lawyer,

When Father Noah braved the billow.

Scott Enjoyed Being Lionised.
Sir Walter Scott is an example of a
great man, who, en far as we can judge,
enjoyed paying the penalties of his
greatness, even in his hour of death. He
wr.ij frreat enough, bat then he was that
kind of a man. and the circumstances
among which he lived were favorable.
That was before the day of the penny
post, of the electric telegraph, of rail
ways and of the interviewer, and in his
prime he lived at Abbotsford, which is
equivalent nowadays to saying that he
lived at Joppa. He seems to have been
singularly free from the penalties of
greatness, which have enormously rn
creaeed since the Wizard of the North
went home, and such of them as came
in his way be seems to have heartily en
joyed. He apiwara now and then to have
relished being turned into a rare show,
and to being pointed at wherever he
wettt So Walter Scott. Indeed this be
ing pointed at seems to have been rel
ished by many men whose greatness was
undoubted. Thackeray seems some
times almost to have resented not being
pointed at. All the Year Bound.
The Story of "lUud.
Few people knew Tennyson and his
peculiarities better than did his neigh
bor Mrs. Cameron, the well known pho
tographic artist, who made a fine aeries
of character portraits by photography
to illustrate Tennyson's poems. The
history of her search for and selection
of models for these characters is inter
esting. Maud was a starving Irish girl,
who served her both as model and wait-
' ing maid.
The sequel to the story of Mrs. Cam
eron's Maud is too pretty not to be given.
When Mrs. Cameron held her exhibi
tion in London, Maud was sent np with
a chaperon to explain the pictures to the
public. A gentleman came in one day,
and after having asked several ques
tions left. A year or two afterward he
passed into the Indian civil service, but
before storting for the east he went
down to Freshwater and knocked at
Mrs. Cameron's door, begging for Maud's
hand. The beautiful Maud was willing,
and they were married. New York

As Anecdote of Benan.
' Benan while traveling alighted at
Naples. One morning a servant of the
hotel came to him and said that as she
had heard the preacher at the cathedral
make rise of his name many times, she
would be thankful if he would choose
for her a number in the lottery about to
be drawn. "If you are a saint," said she,
"the number is sure to be a good one; if
you are a devil, it will be still better."
Benan smiled and chose a number, but
he never knew if the servant was lucky.

The Cruelty of War.
An incident related in the biography
of Sir Provo Wallis, admiral of the Brit
ish fleet, brings home to the render the
cruel nature of war. It occurred din
ing the war of 1813. An Auiencun cap
tain had taken a tine Blnp to Linton,
where she had sold her cargo for the
use of the British army under Welling
ton, and received several thousands of
dollars in return, which were on board.
Meantime war had been declared, and
on her homeward voyage she fell a vic
tim to the British squadron. One of the
principal objects of her captors was to
obtain information. The American cap
tain was sent on board the Shannon
which afterward captured thefatnons
Chesapeake but was kept in ignorance
of the war and of the fact that he was a
prisoner. -'
He answered unreservedly all the ques
tions put to him, and Captain Broke.
who greatly disliked the deception he
had been obliged to practice, now felt it
difficult to make the prisoner acquainted
with the next step which must be taken.
At length he forced himself to say;
"Captain, 1 must buru your ship."
The American, overcome by surprise,
faltered, "Burn herf"
"Indeed I must."
"Burn her for what? Will not money
save herf She is all my own and all
the property 1 have in the world. Is it
war, then
"Yes," said Broke.
Both parties were painfully moved:
and the scene did not end without a tear
from each, but duty was duty, and the
prize was destroyed. Youth's Com

' - . A Feat in Writlns.
John 3. Taylor, of Streator, Ills., once
wrote 4,100 words on the blank side of a
postal card. This was sent to a Chicago
paper, which heralded the story to the
world as being the most wonderful piece
of nonwnrk ever executed. As a matter
of fact Mr. Taylor's effort has been dis
counted on several occasions, oeeuie,
the penman of Ottery 8t. Mary, Liver
pool, once wrote the following pieces en
tiro without the slightest abbreviation,
all npon a piece of cardboard & by 3
inches in size: Uoldsmith'a "Traveler,"
"The Deserted Village, "Essay on Edu
cation," "Distress of a Disabled Soldier,"
"The Tale of Azira," "Justice," "Gen
erosity," "Irresolution of Youth," "Frail
ty of Man," "Friendship" and the "Ge
nius of Love."
In the center of the card there was a
perfect picture of Ottery church, all of
the shades and lines being formed of
parts of the writing. As a kind of tale
piece he added the anthem of "God Save
the Queen," embellished it with seventy
two stars, fifty-one crescents and nine
teen crosses, finishing the whole by draw
ing a picture of a serpent which inclosed
the whole of the miraculous nroduction.
If you wish to ascertain exactly how
much Beedle's effort exceeded that of
Mr. Taylor, count the words -in the

How They Bobbed the Marquis.
In the old range cattle boom days,
when money from foreign lands was
pouring into the west like water, there
were a good many sharp tricks prac
ticed in delivering cattle. It is recalled
that the Marquis de Mores, who tried to
cut such a conspicuous figure as a rovo
lutionizer of the American meat trade,
and who later became notorious as a
duelist, was badly sold. While in Da
kota he bought 10,000 head of cattle
from two Englishmen, . They were first
class cattle and cost forty dollars ahead.
When these two Britons delivered the
cows they worked one of the neatest
"skin" games that was ever heard of.
Medora, yon know, sits in a valley, with
table hinds en each side.
Well, the Englishmen ran 5.000 head
of cattle in on the marquis and collected
for 10,000. The way they did it was by
running the same 5,000 twice aronnd the
hill. De Mores never "tumbled" until
he had paid his $(00,000 and the merry
cockneys were bound for Bomb Amer
ica. It was a clear steal of $200,000, but
the marquis didn't make much bones
about it. He had plenty of money and
didn't care. Chicago Drovers Journal,

The Strange Romance of Itobbery on
the llordor.
"Arizona banditti" Is a phrase taking
enough for the headline of the moat lurid
article or the title of the most thrilling
dime novel. Unlike most lurid titles, bow
ever, it fnlls short Instead of exaggerating
the actual fact. There is probauly no other
region of enual area in the world so well
suited for outlaws, and if there ever was a
time when the rugged cunyuns and wild
wastes between the Gila and the San Juan
did not harbor land pirates it was before
the Aztec occupation of (Humboldt says)
the Twelfth century.
Certuitily the oldest Mexican Indian tra
ditions and tlio subsequent written recordn
tell the same story, but the latest case of
really romantic interest is that of Ramon
Ortiz and Manuel Unjalva. Ortiz was
born in Seville, came to Mexico and took
part in the Maximilian war on the side of
the ill fated monarch, under whom he held
a captain's commission. Upon the dis
banding of the army he lien to Arizona,
accompanied by the Mexican Grijslvn,
who was a soldier under him. From that
time on their hands were against every
body, and everybody's hand against them.
ItAMON OltTIZ. MANUKL UHOALVA.
In 18"9 the driver of a privttte express
was murdered about thirty miles south ot
Phoenix and $50,000 in bullion from the
Tiger mine taken, besides a few huwireil?
in greenbacks, It was soon learned that
the robbery was the work of Ortiz, Gri
jalva and an unknown Mexican whom foi
some reason they had induced to join them,
and then the long chase began. Years
after tirijalva was shot and mortally
wounded in Silver City, N. M and the
pursuers had the address to impose one of
their number on him as a priest. Grf jalva
confessed everything, willed his share of
the bullion to the church and described
minutely the old adobe house by the side
of which the treasure was buried in fhoe
nix. Highly elated the pursuers returned to
Phoenix, but the old abolies were gone and
handsome residences aiul new streets cov
ered that section. There was much dig-
ging, but to no purpose. Last winter
the story was published that Ortiz had
died in Hermosillo, Mexico; the priest who
absolved him was found, and in due time
all thestorynot told byGrijalvacameoitt.
It appeared that they had buried the
money in Phoenix as a temporary measure
only, expecting to return and take It to the
mountains, but were so closely pressed
that they had to flee to old Mexico.
In a few years Ortiz returned tndisguise,
and though he spent a week in Phoenix
things had changed so that he could never
locate the spot where lie buried the gold,
and fearing to excite suspicion by diggiug
he gave it up for the time aud ventured
into Sonora aguin, where, though aged, he
again engaged in his formemccupiition of
brigandage. When at Hermosillo he was
taken sick from Hit old wound and died.
So the treasure is lost forever, unless some
lucky man strikes it in digging a welt or
sewer, and if he does the chances are seven
teen to one that he will keep very still
about it, and so the world will never cer
tainly hear of that mow.
The aultan of Morocco.
ft is generally stat ed and believed thai
the sultan of Moroc co, like the czar, is
at once the temporal and the spiritual
head of bis people, but this is not quite
true. Though one of his many titles is
that of "guardian and commander of
the true believers," this authority ii
very shadowy at least as far as the
Kaironin is concerned and the sultan
had an opportunity of judging some three
years ago of the danger that might re
sult from his interference in purely
church irovornment. for some reason
or other he commanded that the mokad-
dum, or chief trustee of the university
an office which has been hereditary in
one famil" since the death of the Tu
nisian Fatnia be dismissed.
This was done, but within three days
there arose such an outcry and hubbub
at the sultan's attempt to exercise un
wonted authority in church matters that
he verv wisely bethought mm to an
nounce that in a dream the apparition
of his sainted father had appeared to
him and requested him to reinstate the
mokaddum. The mokaddum was rein
stated, and the sultan has never inter
fered again in the affairs of the univer
sity. Fortnightly Beview.
Injuries from Carbolie Aeld
Warnings are given in a German
medical journal against the injury to
skin, and even bone, which may result
from the long continued use of weak
say 8, 1, or even 2 per cent. carbo-
lized applications, especially upon perron-
eral portions of the body, such as the
fingers. This effect, it is asserted, is due
in a small measure to the action ot car
bolic acid upon the vasomotor system,
but in the main to its destructive effect
upon the red and white blood corpuscles.
This induces, partly in a mechanical
and partly in a chemical way, stasis,
first in the capillaries, and, if the actum
of the drug be continued, then in the
larger veins and arteries, with the result
that the nutrition of the part is inter.

In one of the oldur manuals of the
common council of New York there ap
peal's an interesting directory of this
city for the year 1005, Then there
wore exactly twenty streets and a po
ulation f Sill, Broadway at that time
was De Hecre strain (the principal
street). The Battery was Aon do Stramlt
van de N. Revcir. Wall Btreet was De
Waal, Pearl street was De Perel straat,
Whitehall street was De Winckol straat,
William street was In de Omits valley
(In the smith's valley), and Broadway
above Wall Btreet was Buytcn de Laut
Poort (outside the land gate). All of
the residents were of Dutch extraction,
with the exception of one whose 'name
appeare in the list aB Jacob, the French
man. There were Roosevelts, Beokmnits, De
Peysters, De I'nys, Van Cortlandts and
Verplancks in those days. Clams, oys
ters and fish formed the principal food
of the settlers at that period. Occasion
ally in the spring New York was visited

A Hoy Who Liked to Out Wood.
One of the strangest cases of somnnm.
bulism occurred some fifteen years ago in
an Oxford county village. The boy hero
of the story was noxt to the oldest of a
large family. As not much was to lie made
on the farm In the winter, ami nthor work
is not easily obtained in a small place, the
father aud the oldest son had gone early in
the fall to a distant state where laborers
werosenreaand lalxirwell paid. Tiiesupor
vision of the farm fell upon poor Ned, and
a conscientious llfctlostevmrd he was. After
great baskets of dried leaves, gathered
mid much sport in the woods, huii heaped
tin the great bin, ami the house Had been
snuglvtucked up in evergreen boughs, Ned
cut and hauled the great enrd wood sticks
into the yarti for "workiiigup." One night
he had been too tired to attend to sawing
and splitting, and he went to lied worrying
about it, riot that thero was any real need,
for the piazzalike woodshed was closely
lined on three sides with carefully fitted
wood; only he disliked to have one day's
work rim into the next.
About midnight Ned's mother, hearing
unaccountable Bounds below, stole into
Ned's room and found he was not there.
Greatly alarmed, she continued her search
until Bhe reached the woodsuea.
"Ned, Ned!" she culled, but received no
response. Wonderitigiy the mother ap
proached almost iieurcnoiigli to touch him,
still lieunld not a word.
Glancing again at him she saw the boy's
eyes were shut, and, having been some
what used to his walking in sleep, tnougnt
she would see what Ned would do. Care
fully he placed the cord wood stick on the
sawhorsc, took down the saw and actually,
with both eyes closed in sleep, sawed wood,
and was about to take down the ax when
his mother thought it timetoawaken him.

A Very Valuable Diamond.
A wonderful diamond Is now iielng cut
in Antwerp, which is said to lie the second
largest in the world. At present it weighs
474 carats, but when properly cut it will
be reduced to 274 carats. It will then be
rather larger than a pigeon's egg, and only
slightly inferior in sl.e to the "Great Mo-i
gul," the celebrated Persian diamond. At
present there are no rumors as to the prob:
able purchaser of the stone, but a faint
idea of Its value may lie gained from the1
cost of cutting it, which is no less than
1,I0.
