Brazilian Revolution.
--?- Brazilian Revolution. A COMMERCIAL GENTLEMAN INTERVIEWED. He Gives an Interesting History of Brazilian Troubles and Talks of Coming Warfare. A "Express" reporter on Thursday had an interesting conversation with a commercial gentleman who recently returned from Brazil, and who had had some exciting experiences during the progress of the revolution in the South American republic. "I presume we can rely upon reports of foreign news agencies that the revolution in Brazil is practically over?" interrogatively re- marked our representative after the usual social formalities had been gone through. "Well, as far as Rio and Rio Harbour are concerned, it may be said to be over," warn the reply. "You witnessed a good deal of the hostilities, and could, no doubt, unfold a tale of exciting incident and 'hairbreadth 'scape'?" I left Brazil some months ago, a short time before the battle of the Armaca., and, yes, I have had some exciting experiences." "Well, first of all, could you give me a brief outline of the history of the revolution, the primary causes of which have, probably, been forgotten by most newspaper readers, if they were ever familiar with them?" "The start of the business was this: Admiral Custodio de Mello was the Minister of Marine in the Brazilian Republic, and he and the Finance Minister strongly opposed the action of the Government in connection with the Rio Grande do Sul insurrection. It was reported that Admiral De Mello had been trying to suppress that revolution, and had done his best to bring' about a compromise. The President refused to agree to this, and seemed to be taking upon himself rather more than his" position warranted. This induced the Con- gress to pass an Act declaring Vice-President Peixoto to be ineligible for election as Presi- dent. When the matter came before him, however, he vetoed the Bill, but, the Congress insisting upon its being pa-ssed, Marshal Peixoto dissolved Congress. It was after this that the first overt act of the rebellion took place. Admiral De Mello himself is not a man of action, and he wasted a good deal of valuable time. Admiral Da Gama, however, who is a direct descendant of the great Vasco da Gama, when he took charge, ? with very small resources at his command, did wonders. Admiral De Mello is very much liked and respected by Brazilians, and has undoubtedly commanded the esteem of all the foreign fleets in the harbour. He went down to Santa Catharina-, and, although there was some dis- sension at first between the leaders of the revolution in Rio Grande do Sul, they patched up their differences and all joined against the common enemy. At present the Rio Grande do Sul insurrectionists are well on their way to Sao Paulo, and, as they have the sympathy of most of the people, the insurrection is far from being ended yet." "And how do you think it will end?" As far as can be judged, the feeling of every State in Brazil is ag-aanst the Vice- President, Peixoto. The position at present is rather a curious one, because the newly- elected President, who takes up his position in November, is known to be in sympathy with the rebels, and it is feared that Peixoto will try to retain power in his own hands, and, if pos- sible, assume a dictatorship. As far as Rio Harbour itself is concerned, the difficulties are over, because all approaches must now be made by land, a.nd although the rebels have the two best ships in the Brazilian Navy at present available, these ships they will require to pro- tect their communications with their seat of operations and for conveying supplies to their troops." "There appears to have been; a lack of protec- tion afforded to shipping in Rio?" "There were certainly some complaints about the protection afforded to shipping in Rio, but there is no doubt that everything wae done that could have been done. The Americans took strong steps, and perhaps it is due to their action that the movement in Rio Harbour was suppressed; but they are not likely to gain much after this business is over, because they have aroused a very strong feeling against them in all parts of Brazil and amongst all sections of the people." "Was the fighting as desperate as reported?" "The fighting was very serious, and I should think some 3,000 people have been killed in Rio since the outbreak of the revolution, while a good authority has estimated that the cost of the ammunition used was over three millions of money. The town of Nictheroy before I left was really nothing but a mass of ruins. One curious point about the revolution was that, although the rebel forces were so small, yet they created a feeling of great terror amongst the land forces, and, whether from sympathy or otherwise, no troops could be found who would undertake to storm any fortresses or island, although it might only be a few yards from the mainland. Preparations were made upon two or three occasions for assault, but the Government troops refused to embark. By the bye, I might mention that the means of traffic in the bay were found by English people, and it was their action alone which enabled Rio to be supplied with pro- visions as well and as loug as it was." "You say that Peixoto is not really popular among the Brazilians ?" "A feeling of dislike of Peixoto has been .growing for some time just, perhaps not so much on account of anything he has done, as on account of the lowering of exchange. In t-he State of Sao Paulo especially the inhabi- tants are very outspoken on the subject. This city, which is quite a new one, has had a simply marvellous growth, and contains estab- lishments that would be a credit to Paris. But people who have spent much money in building with milreis at 24 pence naturally feel sore when they find that by realisation "f their property they would sustain a serious loss with the milreis at tenpence, as at present. If one-tenth of the money spent on the revo- lution had been used to carry the drainage of Rio out to the sea the work, which it is estimated could have been done for two millions, would immensely accelerate the development of the country."

The Welsh University,
_?. ?. The Welsh University, --+- FORMATION OF THE FIRST COURT, Only Two Vacanoies have Now to be Filled up in the Crown Appointments. Our special London correspondent writes — I am now in a position to give you the whole of the Crown nominations for the court of the Welsh University, so far as they have at pre- sent been made. It will be seen from the list given below that only two vacancies remain to be filled up. The number would have been complete but for the facts I mentioned in my communication earlier in the week. Lord Emlyn's reply has not yet been received, but it is earnestly to be hoped that he will not find the duties of his many important positions too great to make it impossible for him to under- take new work. His sagacity, experience, and great capacity for business would be invaluable to the other members of the new body. A tinge of sadness is associated with the other vacancy. It belongs to the illustrious Church- man who is hovering between life and death in his London residence. If it so happen that the position will not be accepted by Dean Vaughan—and no reply has yet been received -it is thought by some authorities with whom I have spoken that Major Jones may be nomi- nated. This, however, is not certain. It is safe to say that if the major is appointed it will mean some slight alteration in the list, as it is scarcely likely that the member for the Carmarthen Boroughs will be made member either for life: or for five years. I prepared you for the appoint- ment of a second lady. This is Lady Verney, who is a daughter of Sir Hay Williams, and married in 1868. The other names not included in my original list are the .Rev. Herber Evans and the Hon. G. T. Kenyon. This brings the Crown nominations up to eleven-, out of a total of thirteen. The names of the members, with their term of office, as supplied to me to-day at the offices of the Privy Council, are as follow — For life: (1) Mr. Justice Roland L. Vaughan Williams; (2) the Rev. T C. Edwards, D.D., principal of the Theological College, Bala; (3) not yet appointed. For five years: (4) Not yet appointed; (5) Mr. John Rhys, professor of Celtic, University of Oxford. For four years: (6) Mr. Lewis Morris; (7) Dr. Isambard Owen. For three years: (8) Lady Verney; (9) Miss Elizabeth P. Hughes, Training College, Cambridge. For two years (10) The. Rev, E. Herber Evans, D.D., principal Congregational College, Bangor; (11) the Rev. G. Hartwell Jones, M.A., Nutfield Rectory, Redhill. For one year: (12) The Hon. George T. Ken yon, M.P.; (13) Mr. D. Brynmor Jones, Q.C., M.P. It will strike many of your readers as singu- lar that, while all the Nonconformist colleges of Wales are represented on the court, the Church college at Lampeter is rigidly ex- cluded. The prinoipal of the Baptist College is cue of the members for the Cardiff Univer- sity College; the Calvinistic Methodist College. at Trevecca will be represented by Professor J. Young Evans, who is one of the thirteen mem- bers elected by the Guild of Graduates; and the Lord-President of the Privy Council h :;s thoughtfully provided the principals of the Theological College at Bala and the Con- gregational College at Bangor. Thus all the Nonconformist colleges are directly represented, but so far Lampeter College is unknown on the University Court. It is to be hoped, how- ever, that the list when finally drawn. up, will include Professor Owen, than whom Welsh education has had no warmer, firmer, or harder working friend. -?--?.-

A Cardiff Steamer Lost.
-?--?-- ?. A Cardiff Steamer Lost. -— SHE TURNED TURTLE LIKE THE VICTORIA." Captain Makes Grave Allegations Against Some of the Henry Anning's Crew. I The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamship Himalaya, Captain R. G. Murray, which arrived at Plymouth on Thursday ffom Australia, brought from Gibraltar Captain A. Gavin, of Cardiff, and seven of the crew of the steamship Henry Anning, of Cardiff, jvhich was abandoned in a sinking condition off Cape Finisterre, and is supposed to have turned turtle like the ill-fated H.M.S. Victoria. The Himalaya made a record passage, traversing the distance between Gibraltar and Plymouth in four days and sixteen hours, and the result was that representatives of Lloyd's and other bodies missed their passage. Captain Gavin was at first inclined to be very reticent, and refused to say anything about the occurrence, inti- mating that the reporters had better apply to his owners (Messrs. Anning Bros., of Cardiff), to whom he had sent full particulars. He reso- lutely, but politely, declined to answer any questions put to him until he was shown a letter from Mr. Lascelles Carr, of the Western Mail, and, answering in a bluff manner, he replied :—"I will tell you anything." In the course of a graphic narrative Captain Gavin said the Henry Anning was a schooner-rigged steamer of 1,059 tons register, and belonged to Cardiff. He had a crew of twenty all told, the majority of them being foreigners, The Henry Anning sailed from Novorossisk, in the Black Sea, with a cargo of barley, for Boston, Lincolnshire, on February 22, and experienced fine weather to Gibraltar, which was passed on March 6. Then the steamer encountered fresh northerly breezes to Finisterre, when the wind suddenly shifted to the N.W. and culminated in a gale. The seas ran very high, and the steamer laboured very heavily right in the trough of the seas. A huge sea broke over her on the port side, smashing the wheelhouse, carrying away stanchions, &c. With the great weight of water on her deck, a,nd before she could free herself, a second sea came on board, and with that she heeled right over. The water rushed in great volumes below, flooding the engine-room and stokehole and extinguish- ing the fires. The stokers and firemen became greatly alarmed, and there was almost a panic amongst them for lifebelts. They all ex- pected the ship to suddenly sink under them, and refused to obey the captain when he ordered them to go and re-light the fires to get up steam. Captain Gavin admits that he does not believe it would ha.ve been any use if the men had got up steam, as the ship was simply un- manageable, all her steering power being gone. But he was most indignant in respect of their conduct, remarking that they beh^red like perfect curs, and he had to kick several in order to get them to launch the boats, so cowardly was their behaviour. He did not draw a revolver because he could not get to his cabin, or he might have done so. When the casualty took place the Henry Anning was about 160 miles from Finis- terre, and at 9.30 on the morning of March 13 signals of distress were hoisted. Some of the crew became so dreadfully frightened that they actually lay down, as the captain termed it, lIke" maimed cattle." The only two who did not put on lifebelts were the captain and his chief mate, resolving that if the worst came to the worst they would swim for it. The Henry Anning was now heeling- over at a still greater degree, being at the complete mercy of the waves, and Captain Gavin had the discretion and forethought to get out the boats, fully pro- visioned. A rather sad occurrence followed. The port lifeboat in being launched got swamped, and two men, named P. Stacchiotti and William Schibowski, promptly juffiped into her and commenced to bale her out. Heavy seas were running, and, fearing the boat would get smashed under the ship's counter, they cut the painter, and the most remarkable thing was that the boat drifted dead to windward instead of to leeward. But these two sailors, whom Captain Gavin says were the best men he had, being trustworthy and responsible men, evidently saw the pre- dicament they were Ül, for they baled the boat out quick enough, and the last time Cap- tain Gavin saw them the boat had from 18in. to 2ft. of freeboard. They stepped the mast, but had taken it down again. The boat was then two and a half miles distant, and Captain Gavin says. the men are simply missing and not drowned. The boat was a good one, and there was plenty of water and tinned meat on board. Although the steamer which subsequently res- cued the captain and remainder of the crew steamed until dark in search of the "'missing men, nothing could be found of them. Captain Gavin however, is of opinion that the men have been picked up by some vessel, as they wer< right in the track, although up to date notbing- has been heard of them. After the loss of the boat, which was bilged through being launched from the weather side to leeward, Captain Gavin tried to get the steamer up end to wind, but the rudder refused to act. About half-past three in the afternoon the steamer Helmsley, belonging to West Hartlepool, and bound to Genoa with coals from Barry, hove in sight, and, observing the signals of distress, bore down on the Henry Anning and took off the captain and crew. At that time the Henry Anning was at an angle of 60deg., and Captain Gavin estimated that she would have t'urped right over in two hours. He believes that the White Star liner Naronic and other vessels foundered from being swamped in a similar manner to the Henry Anning. The Helmsley landed the crew at Gibraltar. Those who came home in the Himalaya, besides the captain, were Joseph Mudge, third engineer; Albert Wisberg, Albert North, Florentine Grasse, Robert Groning, and John M'Naily, firemen. The others have gone to London in the ship Meredyth.

"Well," said he, "you may count my out M eves I become a pai»ier, when it comes to asaaig dead men's bodies to make pictures with. I'd be afraid they would ccrae back again "Nonsense," said.

Ob- serve how I am using thts tube, for instance; upon this Frenchman's coat. Do you suppose any well meaning Egyptian would like to have hunseif cloming a foreigner in any such manner if he knew it "No, I suppos not. The colouring is rich, too," remarked Richardson, thrusting has haads deep into his pockets and surveying his friend's work with the eye of an uneducated critic. "And, by the powers that be, Fran- cis," he add sudd'-nly, "you've made -shat bE fellow a perfect likeness of you! Did you know it? He is your double." Knowlton shrugged his shoulders. "I had an idea his face wa.3 like mine," he answered, ""but, as that is a common trick of ours, I have not given it a second thought. What I am striving for is a srxxl picture, not por- trait, and I must realise something from it, too. By heavens, Richardson, it has come to be a case of dire ll'8c'essäy, and that's all there IS to it "Rent not; paid?" aaked his friend.

I'm dealing with a piece of a dead body," he said, colouring at Knowlton's pitying look, "and I should think you would do the same, believing, as you say you do, in transmigration and reincarnation, and all that sort of stuff. Suppose, for instance, that you were painting this picture with a piece of your own father's body, when he was an Egyptian, 10,000 years ago!" "Or, bett-er still," returned Knowlton, squeezing a fresh supply of the paint out upon his palette, "my own old time body, say!" As he spoke he touched the paint with the tip of one finger, and a shiver at the same time passed over him, leaving him strangely pale and shaken. "Yes, but—hello, what's wrong?"' exclaimed. Riebardson, noticing the change in his friend's race. "Nothing'—I don't knew-fl. touch of vertigo, that's all," returned the painter, confusedly. "I—what were you saying r" "Only that if your sapixxsition were so the contact of the two bodies—the new and the old-would make itself felt in the new." "Yes?" said Knowlton, smiling aigain and returning to his work. "But I do not believe in transmigration to that extent, my lear fellow. There is a line, you know, that even we fanatics have to draw, and I rather imagine it is somewhere near that point in this case. But, to change the subject, will you be at the Idler to-night as ijsual ? If Mrs. M'Gwiginn should happen to take it into her good old head to ask me to pay or skip out, I'll have to realise on some of my personal property, and as I don't know The best places in town I want you to steer me around. Won't object, will you ?" "Not in the least. My services are always at your disposal, and 1;1 be at the Club at half after seven or eight. And now I must i tear myself away; 80, until then,"—and the end of the sentence Was lost in the slight slam of the door as he went out. The artist listened until the echo of his friend's retreating footsteps had died into the murmurous silence of the great tenement in which he lived, and then, going softly to the door himself, he turned the key in it. Coming back to the table, he drew his chair close up to it and cast 20 furtive glance about the unhomelike room, and into the deep shadows that lurked in the cobwebbv comers. Then, with compressed hos and trembling hands, he drew a palette to him and gently pressed a finger into the little daub of mlimmy brown still upon it.

In another moment a sudden dusk filled the room, through which t'he familiar pieces of furniture and draperies seemed toO lose their familiarity and to take new shapes and colours unto themselves. He struggled to rise and cast off the strange stupor that overpowered him, but it was im- possible. Then came a faint, sweet odour which even then he recognised—the smell of cedar, myrrh, and Eastern drugs. He seemed to be in some lofty Egyptian va.ul<! or Knowlton shrugged his shoulders, "I have an idea he is your double." sepwlehre of the dead. Around him stood I still, gaunt- forms, that had thus silently stood for many thousand years. As hIS vision cleared, he seemed to be lying on a divan of velvet, that crumbled into dust as he touched it. One of the weird figures around him moved with a ghastly motion from its place and came nearer and nearer to him. He saw it was a mummy, with its head wrapping, j &u<i mfedons. QEixvra 1 rise, but, spellbound, met the. gaze of deep, piercing, terrible eyes, and heard a stern voice which said, "Oh, sacrilegious spoiler of the dead, thou who hast meddled with the dust of kings, beware, thy doom is fixed. Return to us, oh Arbaces, the destroyer, and as thou didst then in the age.s that are past so shalt thou die again." The figure seemed to fade from his sight, he heard a deep-toned gong strike the numbers slowly up to ten gradually tlie scene faded from his eyes, the blood rushed back to his head and brain. How long the terrible dream had lasted lie ooidd not know, but at last he awoke to life How long the terrible dream had lasted lie could not know, but at last he awoke to life again, and, struggling- to his feet, he stag- gered to the window, threw it open, and let the faint breath of air stirring in the court- yard far below sweep up past him into the dark room behind. The dusk was just falling over the city, and far, far below him he could bear the tenement's inhabitants of the iirst and second floors preparing their evening meal, singing and cursing by turns as the prepara- tion pleased or displeased them. The night air cooled his fevered face and refreshed him, however, and the great beads of perspiration that had gathered on his forehead were gone as lie turned back to the room again. "J am a fool 1" lie exclaimed, impatiently, "and hungry, I dare say. No wonder 1 iiiiagine things!" and catching up the worn, soft hat that lay beside his tumbled bed he hurried out into the hall and down the weary length of stairs to the street. But as he closed the door a small, heavy bladed dirk, upon a shelf directly over the spot where he had hastily shoved the un- finished picture and its easel, jarred by his haste, whirled slowly around until it rested upon the very edge of the shelf, where it balanced to and fro and trembled in the little breeze that still puffed in at the open window. 'N Morgan, the favourite story teller of the Bohemiaai Idler's Club, was talking as Richardson and the painter came in from their journey to the pawnshop, and the us^al audience of interested listeners was c-cuested about him. "It may may not have been a humbug, he was saying with a shrug of his shabby genteel shoulders, "but it was devilish queer any way you take it. I saw the man do it five times, too, and he failed but once." "What, do you call it—hypnotism?" asked a new comer. "I don't know; he simply says he sensitises the water and lets you call it what vou like. Firsts he puts the tumbler of plain hydrant water into one room, and he aad the subject go into another. He makes a few pas.-Js— that as, where the hypnotism comes in, 1 suppose—and once the man is under his control the professor walks into the other room and igtaada with bis hsuwla aver thai tumbler of.' water for perhaps a minute, not uttering a sound. Then he sends some of us into the room with the sleeping subject, and he stays with the rest of the witnesses. When every- thing is ready he tells one of them to take his penknife and thrust the blade carefully into the water. He does so, and we hear a muffled scream from the other room, as if the hypnotised man had felt the stab. This was repeated three times, and every time the subject screamed and twisted about in his chair, as if in agony, while the knife remained in the water. As soon as it was removed, the pain apparently ceased, and he rested quietly again. I was sceptical, of course," concluded the talkative Morgan, "and said it was all chicanery, but after seeing the thing half a dozen times, I felt differently, and I must say that it is extremely peculiar, if not mvste-rious." "What had the subject to say for himself when he came to ?" asked Richardson, who had joined the group. "Very little, except that someone had tried to stab him and bad succeeded three times in sticking a knife into his baek, he thought." "And did he know of the tumbler of water and its bearing all his hallucination ?" He had taken only a few steps, however, before he stopped suddenly and clutched con- vulsively at his breast, while an inhuman shriek, shrill and piercingly loud, burst from his lips. For a second he swayed there in the silence that followed—for every man in the room had heard the scream, above t) e talk and laughter, and had turned to see what it meant—and then his knees bent, and lie fell heavily upon the roughly carpeted floor, an insensible mass. A young physician who had been chatting near the fireplace hurried forward as Richardson did the same, and kneel- ing at the stricken man's feet he tore open the shirt and put his hand over the heart. "He is quite dead, gentlemen," he said in a- moment, in answer to the inquiring looks of "He is quite dead, gentlemen," he said in a. moment, in answer to the inquiring looks of those collected about them. Then he got to his feet and brushed the dust from his trousers. trousers. As he rose in the solemn silence of the terrified bystanders they heard a clock strike the hour ten. The next morning, after hurried arrange- ments had been made for the funeral by Knowlton's Bohemian friends, Richardson had occasion to return to the studio. The body lay upon the bed beneath a sheesfe, tlie early murniiig light drifted in through the broken blinds, and fell across it with an uncanny effect. He went to the bed and, turning the sheet back, looked down .into the still feature-' of his dead friend. A curious ex- pression rested 011 them; a solemnity of awe, and an almost terrible yearning look of sorrow, which tihri&ed Jm Reverently he covered the face of the dead, and as he turned from the bed his eye fell on the easel, where still stood the uncompleted picture he had only been criticising the day before. He recoiled in horror. The heavy bladed dirk had fallen from the shelf where it had barely balanced, and, striking the canvas, had stabbed the central figure (the man who bore the curious likeness of Knowlton) uirough the heart. Hastily turning back to the bed, he bared the bosom of the corpse. As he did so, it appeared to him that, indistinctly at first and at last with livid sharpness, he saw a scar above the heart of his friend, exactly where the dirk had stabbed his pictured like- ness but as he gazed at it it disappeared, "It must have been my fancy," he muttered; and covering up the dead again left him to his eternal rest.
HE SIMMERED.
HE SIMMERED. "It seems to me," said an old cattleman re- cently, "that Bat Masterson has a reputation for bravery when possessed of :1. six-shooter that is not wholly deserved. One instance of which I was an eye witness I will relate. Masterson's younger brother engaged in a fight with a cow puncher named Jack Sayers in Trini- dad, Colo., and beat Sayers over the head with his gun, Sayers being then unarmed. As soon as Sayers could get a six-shooter he returned and nearly beat Masterson to death with it. Then, learning the vengeance of Bat, he jumped on his horse and left town. When Bat heard of the trouble he immediately went in search of Sayers, and not with a pair of opera glasses, either. Not finding his man, he declared ven- geance against Sayer's friends, and was parad- ing up and down the street with a six-shooter in his hand. No one seemed disposed to dis- pute his right to the town until Bill Cook, who is now Marshal of Clayton, N.M., came up and surveyed the scene. Cook asked where the Trinidad Police where, and was informed one of them wanted the job of arresting Bat. Someone suggested that Bill take Bat's gam away from him. Bill said he had no authority in Trinidad, but for the sake of old times would try him a, whirl. Walking up to Bat, he caught him by the shoulders, and a,s he whirled around jerked his gun out of his hand, at the same time telling him he didn't allow any 'ope' man to run that town. Bill warned Bat to simmer down or they would mix. Bat took the a.dv'ce and left town on the evenina- train." 'ók-C'?

HER DANDER UP.
HER DANDER UP. She came swinging down Connecticut Avenue with the fin de siecle stride, garb, and air. Ambling sedately by her side was a huge, tawny mastiff. Her cheeks were agiow from the kiss of the bracing air and the vigour of her movements. She looked well bred from crown to heel; she looked happy and bright and well-groomed and healthy, and was a daughter of wealth, for her plain gray suit was tailor-made and, to the initiated, a costly raiment. Suddenly a fair-sized bull-dog darted out through a gate anH sprang upon,.}^ mastiff. K&ZT'i SSSSciS, sms. seized, 0 ythe foreleg, and the girl sprang back, turned, and made two steps, as if to run. Then she faced about and walked back to within a few feet of the fighting animals. The bull-dog had secured a firm hold on the foreleg of the mastiff, who floundered about unable to break the hold of the fierce little beast. They rolled over and over, and the bull-dog hung on like death. A burly negro happened along about this time, and, thinking to release the big pet, raised a spade he was carrying and ap- proaehed the dogs. He was about to bring it down on the bull-dog's head when the girl shouted: "Let those dog-z; alone. Don't you strike either one of them. If that big dog of mine can't witip that little bit of a thing I won't own him." Probably encouraged by the sound of his mistress' voice the mastiff managed to seize the bull-dog by the throat. The latter gasped and released his hold, and the now thor- oughly infuriated mastiff wcfulld doubtless have soon killed his smaller foe. The girl, satisfied as to her champion's prowess, now did an unusual thing. She walked and seized the mastiff by the collar and attempted to pull him away. Failing in this, she did a much more unusual thing. She got two matches from the coloured man. She struck one of them on the sidewalk and then delibe- rately thrust it under the nose of her pet. The effect was instantaneous. The mastiff quit fighting and sprang off. The darky ran up and seized tihe almost dead bull-dog and lifted him over a fence, the fin de siecle girl patted the victor for a minute, and then the pair went swinging down the avenue again, both very well satisfied with their adventure. ?

HE WAS CURED.f
HE WAS CURED. f A travelling vendor of patent medicines once put up for the night at a wayside inn. On learning his profession some workmen agreed among' themselves to have a little fun at the expense of the quack. So one of them, who thought himself the wit of the company, got into conversation with him, and eventually asked him what he professed to be able to cure. "Experience, sir, has taught me to cure any disease," answered the quack, looking his questioner full in the face. "Then I should be much obliged to you if you will cure me of my complaint," went on the wit. I "Oh, yes, I will cure you. What is it you are suffering with?" "Well, first of all, I am an awful liar; secondly, I have last my appetite; and thirdly, I have lost my memory. "Oh, well, I can make you all right if you will promise faithfully to take twelve of my famous 'premier pills,' which are quite harmless." "I promise." Twelve large pills were accordingly handed to the wit, who took them rather reluctantly. "Well, how did you like them?" said the quack, as the last one disappeared. "Why, there is nothing in them but tal- low," replied the wit. "I am pleased to learn that they are so efficaoious." "What do you mean, sir?" "You say that my pills are nothing but tallow. That is quite correct. I made them from a candle. So you are no longer a pre- varicator. Then, again, your appetite must have been suddenly improved to enable you to enjoy such a dainty mea.l; and as to your metmory I warrant you'll never forget taking those pills as long as you live." The workmen had their laugh, but not at the quack's expense.
