MOTHER'S WAY.
BY FATHER BTAJ.
(ft within onr little cottnee
As the shadows gently fall,
YVhile the snnllht touches softly
One sweet face upon the wall
lo we gather close together.
And in hushed and teuder tone
Ask each other's full forsriveness
For the wroni? that each has done.
Should you wonder why this custom
At the endinir of the day.
Eye and voice would quickly answer,
It was once our mother's way."
II our hoise be bright and chgery.
If it holds a welcome true,
Opening wide its door of greeting
To the many not the few;
If we share our father's bounty.
With the needy day by day,
"Tis because our hearts remember
This was ever mother's way.
iSometimes when our hands ffrow weary,
t )r our tasks seem very long ;
YYhcn our burdens look too heavy
And we deem the right all rone ;
Then we gain anew freh courage.
And we rise to proudly say :
"Let us lio our duty bravely
This was our dear mother's way."
Thus we keep lu r memory precious,
While we never ce.ir-'e to pray
That at last, when lengthening shadows

THE CHILD WITNESS.
The Arnolds lived in the old brown house
liidi you may yet notice at the right of the
road just as you enter the village of L ,
Pennsylvania, from the south. The house
stands back about ten rods from the road.

I should not speak so confidently ; it is five
years since I saw the village or the house,
and perhaps the awf ul tragedy enacted un
der the moss-covered roof one night may
have kept the house tenantless, and allowed
time to tumble it down.
One day, in answer to a telegram sent
from the nearest railway station to L , a
matter of a dozen miles, I rode into tho
quaint old village tin the top of the stage,
and at once rej r' ! "-voif to the town
authorities. Kvery inhabitant of the village,
even to the ragged urchin sitting on the tav
ern porch, carried a grave face and talked in
whimpers. Had I not known a double mur
der had been committed the night before, I
could have read some news almost as bail by
glancing at the faces of the towns-people.
While I was eating my supper at the only
hotel the town clerk and the president of the
village s:t opposite and told me the story.
Ii seems that Arnold, who was nearly sixty
year- old, had two sons in another part of
the State, and, wishing to divide up his
property before h;s death, had, a few days
before the murder, disposed of a farm and
same manufacturing interests in Pittsburgh,
realizing several thousand dollars in ea-di.
He intended visiting the sons and dividing
t he money between them, but had placed it
in the village bank until he should hi: ready
to go. Mrs. Arnold was old and g;ay-head-ed,
and the couple would have been all alone
had it not been for little Jack, as he was !
called, a child four years of age. The child
bad been abandoned by a woman passing
through the village, and the Arnolds had
taken it for company ; in fact had made pro ,
vision to adopt it. j
The night before, at '.'o'clock, a citizen had
j seen Arnold at his gate smoking a pipe. No
; one h ;ard any alarm from the house during
, the night, but about sunrise little Jack crept
' down into the village, his night-gown red j
with blood, and told the fii'i one he met, j
i "Somebody hits hit grandpa and grandma on 1
i the head with an axe."
There was an investigation and the aged
couple were found at their house dead and '
' terribly mutilated. The old man's head was
nearly split in two, and Mrs. Arnold had .1
' horrible wound in the temple, which had
I caused death almost instantly. The child
I was not in the least injured, but seemed to
have been badly frightened,
i This was the gist of the story I got while
eating, but I found that none of the sensa
' tional ioints had been overdrawn when I
; reached the house. The corpses had been
the subject of Inquest and h id been washed j
and placed in coffins, but the rooms ha 1 not j
been disturbed. A constable, had been i
present all the time to see that any clue
which might have been leit ot the murderer ,
should not be erased hy cureless hands or j
feet. !
The room where the tragedy occurred was
a double bedroom on the ground floor. It
contained two beds, one of which was occu
pied by the, (ihl man and little Jack. The
murderer had come in at the back door,
bringing along the axe from the woodpile.
He had passed into the bedroom, lighted a
candle which stood on the stand, and had
been some time in the room before using the
weapon. I knew this because the top draw
er ol the old bureau was pulled out, it con
tents tumbled over, and there were no bloody
fingermarks on anything. The three other
drawers were daubed with blood, showing
that he had searched these after the murder.
Something had aroused the old man from
his sleep, lie had started to get out of bed
when struck by the axe. The old lady had
hfard the noise when the cruel implement
descended tin her head, the positions in
which the bodies were found bearing out my
theory. The night baa been chilly and little
Jack probably snuggled down under the
quilts, and had thus escaped harm, though,
as afterward shown, he had been a silent
witness of part of the proceedings.
The murderer had made a thorough search
of the house, taking his time about it. He
had first felt under the oid man's pillow af
ter money, and then under Mrs. Arnold's,
daubing his fingers with blood, and leaving
his marks on the pillows. I counted five
different places where he had rested his left
hand on the pillows while, searching with
his right, and in every case there were only
four daubs or spots. There should have
been five. He would not put four fingers
down and hold up his thumb. No; the
thumb on the left hand was missing cut off
at least at the first joint.
This was a due, and my subsequent in
vestigations pi ved that I was correct in be
lieving so. There w.w another thing. The
man had torn up the carpet of the bedroom
in several places ; had got out the bible and
looked between its covers; had taken down
and searched the clothing In the closet ; and
had been so cool and thorough in his search
that I knew he was no ordinary offender. A
common thief would have fled after com
mitting murder or at most stopped only long
enough to search the bureau. Whoever the
man was he had not secured a dollar in
money. He had, however, taken away an
old-fashioned cold watch belonging to Ar
nold, which was out of repair, and here was
something which, if found, might "prove a
good clue.
I did not expect to get much out of the
boy, owing to his youth. Taking him on my
knee, I made his acquaintance, gave him
some pennies, and then asked him what he
saw.
"You see," began the child, very gravely,
''I heard grandpa talking and getting tip,
and then I saw a big robber jump up and hit
him with the axe. Then grandpa fell down,
and the big man went over and struck
grandma. Then he looked in the bureau, on
the bed, in grandpa's box, in the cioset, and
then went off, and then I went to sleep."
I dreaded to ask him how the man looked,
for much depended on his answer. But he
was ready with his reply, and all my cross
questioning could not alter his statement.
''Big man red collar (necktie) on great
big breast pin red whiskers like Mr. John
son there shiny ring on his finger one eye
.most shut up."
I tried to make little Jack believe that the
murderer had black hair, and was a little
man, but he stuck to his story. Then one
of the constables talked to him about some
thing else for ten minutes, and then ques
tioned him as to the appearance of the man ;
but the story was the same as he told me at
first. Several of us wrote it down, and I
charged the child to remember it.
I was convinced that the murderer was a
stranger in that part of the country. No
one had seen him come or go ; no one knew
the hour of his arrival or departure, and lie
had left no clue behind nothing but my
theory that the thumb was missing from the
left band. I rode out to the toll-gates, but
j he had not been seen to pass. I questioned
: the stage drivers, hut they could give no sat
i isfaction. I went to the railroad station, but
! no one could remember having remarked the
; presence of a stranger on that night. The i
i murderer had arrived and departed tike a
bird. i
I was considerably discouraged in nut ;
; striking his trail, but I was determined to i
pursue the case until there was no longer j
any hope, or until I had found the criminal,
j Vi-iting Pittsburgh and Harri--burg I laid '
! my plans to trap him if he.tried to dispose of '
I the watch. I wrote letters to various offi
cials, and then I could do no more. For six j
months I had the case uppermost in my mind,
while transacting other detective business, '
j but I had failed to find the least clue. Then !
one day I got a trace. j
I was riding on the cars of the Pennsylva- ;
nia Central railroad, when I observed an oid !
! lady shaking a go!d watch in her hand and
then holding it to her ear to see if it would
run. Crossing over to her, I asked to look j
; at the watch and she handed it over with the
i remark :
"It isn't much good, but I don't know as
' it ought to be. My husband only paid ?10
1 for it."
' I found out that hername was Allen ; that
she lived within a dozen miles of where the
Arnolds had been murdered; that on the
', morning after the murder, as near as she
i could remember, her husband had purchased
the watch of a traveler on the highway, who
was looking for work and out of money.
She remembered that the man was a large
man, had red hair and full beard of the same
color, but could not say (hits he had observed
anything suspicious in his actions.
I found by ipiestioning that the strancrer
had continued on the road to the west, and
that if he kept on be must have struck the
railroad after an hour's traveling. I was
convinced that this was the murderer, and
that he had made a long journey on the
highway in order to baffle pursuit and hide
his trail.
But it was little comfoit to know it, as so
many months had passed that the man might
now be in Europe or under ground. I took
the lady's address, allowed her to retain the
watch I knew had belonged to the Arnolds,
and again I lost the case for several months.
I wrote over fifty letters, traveled three or
four thousand miles on the lookout for a big
man, and nothing came of it. But one dav
when approaching the village of Newficld,
New York, hy stage, two suspicious-looking
chaps pot into the vehicle, and they were my
only company. I knew them to be "Hash"
as soon as I saw their faces, and their talk
went to prove it. I pretended to be very
(leaf as soon as they got in, not replying to
any o their questions. I assumed the tone
of voice generally used by the deaf, held my
I hand to my ear, and moved over and ex
i pressed my regrets if I had offended them,
j saying that I could not even hear the rumble
j of the coach.
i "Oood '" exclaimed one of the men, as I
j sat down at the other end of the vehicle.
, "Now you can go on with your yarn."
Before proceeding the other one called me
j an old fool, a thief, a robber and various
other things, closely watching my counte
nance to see if I could hear his words.
"The old smooth-bore is as deaf as a
stone," he rel larked, having satisfied him
self as to my deafness, and then he went on
with a narrative which had been interrupted.
I soon ascertained that they were on their
way to Penfield, to rob a merchant. They
had everything arranged to commit the crime
the next night, and the one who "put up"
the plan gave all the details as to how the
robbery was to be committed, where they
would "i tin
to, and gave a guess as to each
one's share.
"What about Luke?" inquired the other,
pfter the plot had been fully discussed.
"Oh, Luke w ill be there on time," replied
the man. "He has kept devilish shady
since that business at L , but now wants
to make a haul and dig out for the far West,
You needn't fret we can depend upon
him."
Before Ave got into the village the men
tried me again, but I could not hear except
when they shouted in my ear, and they were j
sure that ihe conversation had been strictly !
private. While they put up at.the hotel, I j
went to the house of a deputy sheriff . intend- I
ing to remain concealed all the next day. I
had, of course, to state my business to the (
officer, as I must have his aid, and he, the
simpleton that he was, related the whole
story to his wife after they had retired.
Thus it naturally came about that next day,
while I was laying shady, but planning how
to capture the burglars, the woman was re
tailing my plans to the neighborhood. When
night came there were six of us ready to
pounce upon the criminals, but there were
no criminals to be found. The fellows had
got wind of the affair and were off, and I
had !o-1 Ihe second only reliable clue to the
Arnold murderer which I had ever been able
to fml. S me time after this, while in the
city of Rochester, I caught sight of a hand
resting on the window sill of a horse car a
large red hand. The hand was nothing
strange, but the thumb was missing.
I did not wait an instant to think. I
leaped from the car, entered the other, and
there sat my friends of the stage-coach on
either side of the owner of the hand "a big
man with red hair and whi?kers." They all
jumped up as I entered, but I hung fast to
I.uke and soon had the bracelets on him, al
lowing the others to get away. He had no
idea who I was, and I took care not to hint
at the charge against him until I had him
back at L .
My arrival created much excitement, as
pursuit of the murderer had, from the first,
been deemed hopeless. Many contended
that I had not secured the right man, and
Luke professed never to have been in that
part of the State before. The child was sev
eral miles away from the village, but 1 sent
for him. It had been a vear since the mur
der. Little Jack had almost forgotten the
; circumstance, and of course the murderer i
! had changed some. ' But I had strong hopes j
I that the child would be able to identify the
j man, and I was not disappointed.
i Waiting until evening, I conducted Jack j
into a room where Luke and a dozen citizens i
! were sitting. The little fellow had no
I knowledge of what we intended, and for j
I some time did not see the murderer. When j
! he did, he uttered a loud shriek, ran to me
: and exclaimed : i
j "There's the big man who hit grandpa and i
grandma '" j
; Luke braved it out to the last ; even when '
! the purchaser of the watch testified to his !
identity he kept a bold face, and went to ;
some pains to attempt to prove an alibi ; but :
when convicted, mainly on the testimony of !
little Jack, who shivered and trembled at the
sight of the man, the prisoner knew he was '
done for, and cried out in anger: i
"Well, I am the man : I saw the boy's i
eyes looking at me after I bad finished the
old uns, but I had done enough, and could ;
not kill him, curse the brat! I now regret '
nothing except that I did not split his head ;
open I"
And standing on the gallows, about to be ;
launched into eternity, the man used bis last :
moment to curse the child-witness who had ,
convicted him of the awful crime.

THE WONDERFUL ATHLETIC FEATS OF I1A-
B A..TFK TL LSI HAM.
An entertainment of a novel character was
i given on March Cth at the house of Mr. Mor
, arjee Onculdas at Bombay, who invited a
large number of guests to witness some ex
traordinary feats of strength on the part of
; the celebrated Deccan athlete, Babajee TiU
i siram. Hie company, which included many
i of the h ading inhabitant!! of the city, sat in
a semicircle, at either point of which were
placed several pretty little native boys ar
ranged in brilliant anil costly apparel. The
; picturesque dresses of the native ladies who
were present, the white robes of the Parsee
gentlemen and the gay colors of Hindoo at
tire had a remarkably fine effect when seen
in conjunction with the beautiful surronnd-
After some preliminaries in the way of

ing satisfied the company that there was no
deception, the athlete, a tall, soldierly man,
' some twenty-seven years of age, and with
a magnificent development of muscle, pro
ceeded to crush a number of cowries between
the palm of his hands. lie completely
ground them to powder in this manner, nt
: tering during the process sharp, shrill cries,
' which were probably intended to express
the magnitude of his exertions. Then the
performer placed a cocoanut upon the head watt.h, and not leave tiie sh p without c t
of a boy. and, with what appeared to be a ! tinp it Her sister said she was sure it would
fearful blow, broke the nut in Pieces and
scattered the milk in all directions, without
strange to say, hnrting the boy in any way.
The next feat was breaking a stout coil rope
by simply pulling it. One of the most ex
traordinary parts of the performance was
the following : The athlete placed a belt
leaf between two of his fingers and then, by
pressing the fingers together, cut the leaf so
as to throw the upper part several feet high.
But the most startling feat was the breaking !
of a stone laid on his chest. The man lay j
down at full length on some chairs, and a
huge stone, weighing four Bengal mauds, i
' was placed on his chest, which was simply
i covered by a thin tunic. Tavo men then
I struck the stone some tremendous blows
with heavy hammers, and after one or two
! attempts, the block rolled of the man'scbest
j in two pieces. He next made several at
j tempts to break a coconut with a handker
j chief. Ilis mode of procedure iu this case
case was to roll the handkerchief tightly in
J the shape of a ball, and then to throw the
; ball upon the nut. Pulling a piece of sugar
! cane into two exactly at the joint, and bend-
ing a thick iron plate, were among the other
' feats performed.
The company then w vnt out on the halco
j ny, where the athlete cut a sugar-cane so as
I to throw up a piece thereof I V) feet high. It
' was done thus : A man held out a scimitar
! with the edge downwards, and Babajee
struck the cane upwards against the edge of
the sword, the piece thus cut off flying a
great distance into the air. This brought
the performance, to a close, and the perform
er was then presented with a handsome
j sbawl.

His wife replied, "In the pantry on the

Down he went, found the cabbage, got out
the oil, mustard and vinegar, cut up the cab

it all.
In the morning his wife noticed the plate
of cabbage where she had placed it the day

FOOD BY DREA5TS.
John Callaghan was a well-to-do farmer,
residing in the County Cork. He was a so
ber, steadv man, and had never leen known
to be behindhand in paying bis rent. Though
his farm was not very larcre, still, by good
management, he was able to support his
family comfortably out of it. There came
one summer, however, that the weather was
so bad that nearly all poor John's crops
failed, so that when rent-day came he bad
no money to meet it. There was only one
thing to be done under the circumstances
he must sell some of his stock. lie regretted
much being obliged to do this; but lie had
no other alternative, if he wished to retain
his farm, for the agent was a very hard man,
and would soon turn him out if he did not
pay punctually. So the next fair daj John
tool: two of his lest cows and some fat hogs
to sell at the fair. He spent ail day there
trying to get a good price for them, and at
,ast he succeeded in doing so. lie was very
tired on bis return, and looking so ill that
his wife remarked it to Mm. Assuring her
that it was nothing but over-fatigue, and
that he would be all right in the morning, he
told her he had sold the cattle very well,
having got fifty pounds for them, which was
enough for the half year's rent, and some
thing over. He went to bed immediately
after his supper, and soon fell asleep. Next
morning, however, his wile wondered why
he. did not answer her when she spoke to
him. At first she thought he was in a faint,
and fent at once for a doctor, who pro
nounced him dead. It was supposed that
the anxious state of his mind, and the over
fatigue he had gone through, had hastened
his death, his heart having been affected for
some time past.
Poor Mrs. Callaghan got such a shock by
this sad occurrence that at first she did not
; think of looking for the money her husband
: said he had got at the fair : but as the rent
, was due, and accounts came in for the funer
al, she went to the place w here her husband
I usually kept his money. Her search was
fruitless; no money was there. She looked
; in the pockets of the clothe s he had worn, and
' in even' press and drawer in his room. It
; was all in vain. The fifty pounds could not
: be found anywhere. Could he have lost it
on his way home? Or had he been robbed.'
1 Perhaps so. He certainly said he had got
' the money : but she had not seen him with
' it. It may have been onlv promised to him
I by the parties he sold to : but that was not
: likely. The poor woman was in a bad way,
and spent all her time in searching for the
missing money, and could think f nothing
. else. In a few days the agent was to call
i for the rent; and if she could not pay. she
and her helpless little ones would have to
I leave their dearly beloved home, and either
I beg or starve. Such was the s. ate of things
when the very night before the expected
1 agent's visit, Mrs, Callaghan dreamed that
; l.er husband came to her, and told l.er that
she would find the fifty pounds pit tied to
the paper behind the lo king-glass over the
: chimney-piece in the bedroom. He put it
theie for safety, he said, fearing the house
might be robbed, as it v. as known he brought
i the money home with him, and he thought
it would be safest there. The moment Mis.
I Callaghan woke she went over to the place
j mentioned by her husband in her dream,
and found the bank notes in the exact posi-
tion he had described.
A young lady had a present of a very valu-
able watch. One day, however, it suddenly
, stopped, and not wishing to meddle with it
herself, she took it to a watchmaker to have
' it repaired. In a few days she called for it.
but it was not done ; so he said she would
come again in a day or two. That night she
dreamed that the watchmaker's shop would
be burned next evening; so early next
morning she asked her sister to call for the
not be ready. "No matter," she said ; "get
it for me as it is, done or not. Don't come
hack without it, for the shop will be burned
this evening ; I saw it all in a dream last
night."
Immediately after beakfast her sister w-T.t
for the watch, but was told that it was not
yet mended.
"How long will it take to do it?" she
asked.
"About an hour," the man answered.
"Very well, then," she said, "I will wait
for it."
So she sat down, and waited patiently un
til it was repaired, for her sister was in a
most excited state of mind about it. and
would have been greatly annoyed had she
returned without it.
That evening at seven o'clock the house
took fire, and the flames spread so rapidly
that it was impos.-ible to save anything : and
had the watch been left there, it v.ouhl have
been destioyed.
A friend who lived in the country had for
some time past been missing things. That
; there was a thief in the house could not be
i doubted, but who it was it was impossible to
j find out. Bread, meat, butter, bottles of
i wine, etc., all disappeared in 'he most un
; accountable manner, and always in the night.
I That none (if the servants lefl the bouse at
i nii;ht was an aseeitained fact, and it was
: equally certain that no one entered from
; without. How, then, were the atticles cr.n-
veyed away? And by whom? These were
questions which puzzled Mrs. M , and
' caused her a good deal of anxiety. At length
! the dreamed one night that she was stanflirig
j in the garden, and looking toward the house
I she saw in the moonlight a man's figure g'.ide
j up the avenue and stand under the window
; of one of the servants' room. Presently
j the Avindow was softly opened, ami a basket
i well filled with provisions was let down by a
j rope. The person below untied the basket,
and quickly disappeared among the sur
rounding trees. The rope Avas then drawn
un and the window very gentlA cUe-ed. On
j awaking next morning. Mis. M told
her husband of her strange dream. It made
j such an impression on her that at length she
I persuaded her husband to watch in the gar-
! den that night. So, accordingly, lie and one
j of his sens stationed themselves in a little
! cuniinei hniisc in the -'iirdell. which com-
mantled a view of the window in question,
I may as well mention that neither of them
had the least faith in nrv kind of dreams or
visions. What, then, was their astonishment
when they beheld the very figure described
by Mrs. M glide softly up the "I venue,
aiid stand under the window, which was
opened and the basket let.down, all exactly
as she had told them '. Before, however,
the man bad time to make otT, they rushed
out and seized him. lie was brought into
the house, and the police sent for. They
immediately recognized him as a very bad

woman who was his partner in gHilt was his
mother. Thev we.e both tiied at the next

A F01M.0TTI..N AM'ECT OF THE ITiSH
(JlESTIOX.
One of the great evils of our dealing with
Ireland is that we have persisted in ro kern
ing hei according to Enrlish proJ;'nle-; and
ideas. Not thus have we dealt with India,
or French Canada, or even the Isle ( f Mn,
and the Channel Islands. The J.inil tenure
of Ireland was altogether different from that
of Eng'and. The land 'ii-'oi'ced to the e.j t.
not to the chief, nor to any of li's va-ii4.
This was forgotten or ignored v hen the 'unit
of chiefs were declared forfeited and ur i:i'-d
to fresh landlords. It w..s Tpit a n.t. re e!as
which the confiscations disinheritc. am up
rooted from the soil, but the emit:- of
Irishmen; and these still cherish t'.u tisiii
tions that they are the lawful owners nf tl.
i land.
! And as if it were not enough to hruc
( voreed a whole nation frmn the fo'! l i b
pave it birth, and which f riiit be lop?-. :l to
it, the ingenuity t,f Knglisli Matecaft f'Hir.il
other means of completing the luitt of lie
land. Till Queen Elizabeth's reign fie Irish
had a flourishing trade in supplying F.ngi.vud
with cattle. This was supposed to depreci
ate rents in England, and Irish rattle were
accordingly declared by act of Parliament
"a nuisance," and their impfrtnt'"n tins
forbidden. Thereupon the Itish killcj their
cattle at home atid sent tl.ein to Kng'anu as
salted meat. This provoked another iict of
Pariiameut, forbidding in perpetuity the im
portation of ail cattle from Ir'iMid, "I'ead
or alive, great or small, fat 01 lean." Nev
ertheless the Lord Lieutenant appeak-u to
Ireland on In-half of the sulTereis from the
great fireof Lon Ion. The IrKh were wretch
edly poor, and had no gold or iiver to snare,
but they sent a handsome contribution in cat
tle. This cift the landed interest in Eng
land resented in loud and ancry tones as "a
political contrivance to defeat the prohibi
tion of Irish cattle." Driven to their v.irs'
ends, the Irih t in ned the hides of th'-ir cat
tle into leather, which they expoited to Eng
land. But here too they were ha filed by
English jealousy. Then they took to seep
farming, and sent excellent woo! L En jl.iud.
Again the landed interest of England took
alarm, and Irish wool was declared contra
band by act of Parliament in the reojn of
Chaiks II. The Irish then manuf .i' t ured
the raw material at home, snd soon drove a
thriving tiade in wooh n stuffs. Th- r.'ann
faeturers (if England tlureiipni to e up
