The execution, at Madrid, of Otero
Gonzales, nineteen year old, for at
tempting to aaaassinate the King of
Spain, is described by the New York
Herald thus ! The prisoner was attired
in a black and violet rode, a round cap,
a scapularlum on his shoulders, his fet
tered hands grrsping an Image of the
Virgin. Several of the priests and
brotherhood entered the prison van
with Otero, while, others headed the
procession, with a crucifix borne aloft.
The crowd, which was still composed
chiefly of women, pressed around the
escort, and when it arrived at the
Plaza, where the scaffold was erected,
it could not have numbered less than
ten thousand. In front of the gibbet,
which stood on a low platform, was
the bench upon which the conv'ctsits.
Death is caused by the pressure of an
iron bar, which causes instant strangu
. lation. Two executioners from Valla
dolid had preceded the arrival of the
regicide. The ground was guarded by
a strong force of cavalry, infantry and
gendarmes with fixed baycnets. The
morning was beautiful and the sun
tided the wooded mountains in the
istance. When the regicide ascended
the scaffold he was deadly pale and his
hands trembled. The troops formed a
large square round the scaffold. The
executioners seated the regicide on the
bench and covered hi- head. At four
teen minutes to nine the signal was
given and the prisoner was parroted, life
8P-mine to be almost instantaneously
extinguished.
The second attempt on the life of
King Alfonso was made on the 30th
of December last. The day was unusu
ally mild and the streets of Madrid were
crowded with vehicles and spectators.
The king and oueen had been out since
three o'clock in a small phaeton drawn
by a pair of rather fiery horses which
Allonso had some difficulty in manag
ing. Toward dusk the king drove back
by the Puerta del Sol and down the
Calle Mayor, to debouch by the Armory
square, at the principal entrance of the
palace. J ust as he neared the armory
his animals grew uneasy, and he pushed
on to enter by the Puerta del Principe.
Behind him were two servants in plain
royal liveries, and ahead a single out
rider. Slackening the pace of his horses,
the king wheeled them to enter un
der the portico slowl. on account
of the bystanders. Just as the
horses haJ come abreast of the large
gentry box and while the sentinel was
presenting arms, a man sprang
out from the narrow spare between
the box and the wall of the
palace, and leaning on the carriage,
fired his first shot at the king. His
majesty stooped slightly, and. gathering
his reins firmly, deshed . tne carriage
under the portico as the queen uttered a
cry. clasping her partner's arm as a
Becond bullet whizzed past, singeingthe
hair at the back of the head of one of
the servants behind the queen. Then,
in his turn, as he pulled ud. King Alfonso
leaned down to see if his youthful bride
was nurt. Though shocked and alarmed
her majesty was able to alight, and he
slowly assisted her up the great stair
case. The would-be assassin, who was
immediately seized and ironed, proved
to he a youth of nineteen named Gon
zales. A Successful Female Detective.
For the past three months Nellie Mc-
Phearson, who has for some time been
in the employ of the St. Joseph detec.
tive agency, has traveled through the
West and Northwest on business con
nected with the agency here, and her
success as a " spotter " shows her to be
a remarkably shrewd woman. She is
about thirtv-two vears old. tall and
slender, with t'ark hair, piercing black
eyes nna altogether very stynsn and
attractive. Her latest exploit termin
ated in Chicago, a day or two ago, when
. she succeeded in getting the clinchers
on one of the deepest-dyed villains in
the West, and the leader and accomplice
of a gang of counterfeiters which have
lntf-stea this section lor tne past two
years.
Some months since the managers of
the Atf-hison, Topeka and Santa Fe.'thc
Chicago, Rook Island and Pacific, the
Chicago and Northern railroads become
cognizant of the fact that a great many
bogus local tickets had been set afloat
along their lines, and on application
Detective Murray, of Chicago was au
thorized to work up the job, and. ii pos
sible, bring the guilty parties to justice.
He reporW from time to time that no
satisfactory trail of the counterfeiters
could be struck, and finally Nellie Mc-
' l'hearson was delegated to assist him in
the work From the outset she w:is
suspicious of the detective himself, and
for three months she watched him like
a hawk, though pretending to fall des
perately in love with him, and more
than nnxious that they should succeed
in their undertaking, in order that tliey
might raise a stake," get married and
settle down. Sharp as he was the wo
man fooled him. Last week the two
spent several days in St. Joseph, and
while Murray was " working " certain
parts of the city, or pretending to he
rather, Nellie was closeted in the offiee
of her employers reporting progress,
which to say the least was anything
but favorable to the "detective" her
Eretended lover, Mr. Murray. From
t. Joseph they went to Chicago, where
a few days' secret investigation placed
her in possession ol a perfect whirlwind
of evidence, and convinced her that
"Detective " Murray was the very m:in
who had set afloat the bogus railroad
tickets. Then she set the trap, gave
the detective an official surprise in his
rorra at the hotel, and as a result he

Peruvian Temples of the Son,
Ol the early history of the Peruvians
we have but little knowledge, owing to
that barbarian policy exercised by the
followers of Cortez and Pizarro, in de
stroying everything belonging to the
tribes which they conquered. Like the
Mexicans, the Peruvians had advanced
in art, science and learning, under the
administration of successive wise rulers,
and their state archives contained his
tories ot their country, from the dawn
of civilization among them, to the period
of the conquest. But the superstitious
Spaniards committed these works to the
' flames, because of their heathen origin,
and we are obliged to depend almost ex
clusively on the truth of tradition for
the knowledge we possess of the history
of this people during the Inoa dynasty.
The most magnificent of all the Peru
vian temples was that ol the sun at
Cuzzo. .The mode of worship in this
temple was similar to that ot Heliopolis
in Egypt, where this great luminary
was adored. His golden image occu
pied a large portion of one sideot the in
terior of the temple, and before this the
worshipers prostrated themselves with
rich offerings in their hands, which
were received by the attendant priests.
Two orthree virgins, selected from the
first families in their kingdom, were in
constant attendance, whose duty it was
to make oblations of wine to the deity,
and chant hymns of praise to the great
Father of Light. Like other aborig
ines of this continent, the Peruvians
were nomad io tribes and gained a sub
sistence by hunting and fishing. Super
stitious in the extreme, their objects of
worship were aa numerous as those of
the Egyptians. .

Village Improvement Societies.
In his report, lately issued, Colone
Wright, chief of the bureau of statistics
of labor, gives some interesting state
ments concerning the work of village
improvement societies in Massachusetts,
ot which the Laurel Hill association,
located at Stockbridge, is the par'nt.
The object of this society, as set lorth in
their by-laws, is to improve and orna
ment the streets and public grounds of
Stockbridge, by planting and cultivating
trees, cleaning and repairing the side
walks, and doing su eh other acts as shall
tend to beauty and improve said streets
and grounds. Its work has been the
subject of many newspaper articles, and
its example has been the incentive for
the formation of many similar associa
tions in different parts of the country.
During its existence it has expended
$4,000 in carrying forward its work,
Elanted more than 1,600 trees and
edges, and built miles of sidewalks,
toot-bridges, etc.
From the returns made to Co'onel
Wright's bureau, it appears that 210 of
the 325 towns in Massachusetts report
the existence of twenty-eight village
improvement societies, having a mem
bership of 405. Instances of some of
the work performed by these societies
are given, to show in what directions
their efforts have been employed: In
Williamstown a hundred streets have
been put in order, trees planted, and
the village lighted. In Dwvers the
village common has been fenced ani
many trees planted. The society in
Slielburn has made sidewalks, planted
trees, ani lighted the streets. In Long
meadow, tree culture has been encour
aged, borders ut and trimmed, and
sidewalks repaired. In Westfield a
street six rods wide and over three
miles long, has been laid out and lined
with trees. In Carlisle the cemetery
has been beautified. The " Field and
Garden club," of Lexington, has fenced
many vacant lots. In Stow 180 maple
tteej have been planted. In Pepperell
trees have been planted, lights put up,
and courses of lectures have been de
livered. The organization of these societies is
.i very simple affair, as the less ma
chinery and formality to them, the
easier they are organized and the better
liiey do their work. N. E. Farmer.
A Cartons Pond.
Captain W. F. McClannahan called in
to see us this week, and we gathered
from him the following information
concerning the noted oil pond n ar Si
bine Pass. This body of water is be
tween three and four miles across, and
large enough to accommodate a large
number of vessels. It is about one mile
from the main shore to deep water say
twenty feet, and vessels drawing from
ten to fifteen feet can easily run into the
pond tor safety, when the wet among
the elements is waxing furioue. The
heavier the gale the thicker the mud at
entrance, and the moment the breakers
strike the mud, they subside, -as if by
magic. Vessels often put into this pond,
when storms are raging outside, and
when once safely anchored within this
harbor, the sailor can wk'i the decks of
his vessel in perfect safetv and laugh at
the storm raging in all its fury outside.
When the wind sets to the northeast,
fail can be hoisted and the vesse.
proudly glide out of its haven to the
open gu T and proceed to its destination.
It is thought that in a very heavy ga e,
a vessel drawing twenty leet of water
could push her way tlnough the chan
nel into this place of safety. The mud
in this pond when dry, cuts as easily aa
chalk, and burns well wln put in the
fire. It is a favorite resort for lumber
vessels plying between Calcasieu and
Galveston and other coast towns, when
storms arise. During the storm ot i75,
when so much damage was done to
property along the coast of Texas, ves
sels which put into the oil pond,
weathered the gale and put to sea, when
the 6torm subsided, having sustained no
damage. The body of water would be a
food study lor scientino men, ana we
ave some idea that there is some
sulphur aa well as petroleum in the
water that is similar to the sulphur
bath of Sour lake. If so, it will some
day become a favorite for rheumatic,
people, and being situated on the gulf
coast, will make it a desirable place, for
its accessibility to salt water, bathing
and beach driving. Beaume.nl (Ttxai)

late, as the man died in a short time
after the wound was made.

Fraudulent Trout,
Among the present fictions is the gen
eral belief that from now through the
season Fulton market will dis play on
marble slabs, on ice, and even alive in
tanks, genuine brook trout.
These spotted beauties are popularly
supposed to be drawn by experts from
their lurking places in small swift
streams on Long Island, ot up in New
England, or down in Pennsylvania, or
far away in the Adirondacks. But the
mass of them are taken by much milder,
not to say meaner, methods. And the
most of them, considered as brook trout,
and sold as such at one dollar a pound,
are simply fish frauds. There is noth
ing wild, or gamy, or br joky, or trouty
about them. They are an artificial
pond production, hand raised, liver fed,
fat, flabby and almost tasteless, and
their tameness, as Selkirk puts it, is bo
shocking that the boy who perambu
lates the pond edge with his panful of
cold chopped liver can lift out the fish
with his hands and throw them into
the bucket or basket, to be carried to
market.
These tame and wholly artificial
trout, thus bred and fed and fattened,
are neither fish, nor flesh, nor good red
herring, and the bigger and fatter they
are, the worse they are, the biggest and
best ranking in insipidity with the
common pond sucker. From the pond
to market, from market to gridiron,
from gridiron to table, and from table
to stomach, all the way through, and all
the way down, they are unmitigated
frauds.
What some people are very fond of
calling " culture "is alike fatal to the
favorite brook fish and to the Boston fe
male. While we highly approve of fish
culture in general as a means of pro
ducing cheaply a greater abundance
of solid lood, of its sort, it is folly to
suppose that trout so raised will retain
the wild, gamy lavor and delicacy that
distinguish the real and natural brook
trout. The literally artificial specimens
differ from the genuine fish as the seed
ling monstrosities do from wild stra
beirie. The preponderance of pulp and
water can never compensate for the lost
sweetness and flavor. When nature
feeds, it furnishes the natural flavor.
Quail and partridge eggs batched under
a hen, with the birds brought up in
barnyard fashion, with barnyard feed,
come to the table with only a barnyard
flavor. On the other hand, when a hen
has hid away her nest in the woods, and
her chickens have raised themselves on
wild buds and berries, when subse
quently shot and cooked, they have been
found to possess a positive game flavor.
Even preserved game, as in England,
yearly degenerates, as it becomes tamer.
The venison becomes more and more
muttony, and the grouse greasier and
less gamy. These preserves rank with
real wild wood shooting pretty much as
the housewife's preserves rank with
tresh fruit.
People who imagine that they are epi
cures are welcome to pay a dollar a
pound for artificially bred and fed pond
fish, but if they fancy they are eating
the delicate, gamy, genuine brook fish,
their error is as wild aa the trout are
tame. New York Bun.
Professional Rivalry.
A man who had his coat on his arm
and his hat in his hand, yesterday, en
tered a butcher shop on Woodward
avenue and began :
" Say, sir, one of your blamed carts
knocked me down on Park street halt
an hour a o. and I'm going to have
satisfaction !"
" One of my carts? I guess not. Wil
liam! William!"
William made his appearance fiom
the back room and the butcher said :
"William, this man accuses you of
running him down with the cart this
morning on Park street."
" I don't think it," was the reply.
" Well, 1 know it!" shouted the man,
as he drew down his hat. ,
' Whereabouts on Park P"
" At the corner of High !"
"Ah! then, it couldn't have been,"
said the driver. " Here is the route I
took: I first went up Woodward
avenue, and ran over a boy at the cor
ner of Alfred street. Then I went down
Charlotte and took a wheel off a car
riage. Down at the corner of Cass I run
down a boy and a velocipede. I came
down Cass to Sproat, and out again to
Woodward, where I expect I ran over
two women and a horse, and then came
directly here. It couldn't have been
me, sir."
"Then who was it?"
"Indeed, I couldn't say, sir; but a
few doors above this is a butcher who
has three carts. If it was him he'll
own up and be glad to see you, for he's
keeping a record of the killed and
wounded to show off the rest of us.
You'd better try him, sir." Detroit Free

Rescued from a Watery Barrel.
The Toronto Mail tells the following
remarkable arn:
" What in the name of goodness is
that?" said a fisherman to his com
panion, as they strolled along the bench
at the eastern end ot the bay about 5 :30
the other morning
"What do you mean?" inquired his
compauion.
"Why," said the other, "you blind
fool, don't you see a barrel on the beach
yonder, with what looks like a pair ot
legs sticking qut of i' P "
Both insti ctively ran as fist as pos
sible to ward the object of their attention,
and sure enough, there was a barrel
bumpi g in the surf, with a man stuck
head first into it up to the hips. The
sai ors were not slow in hauling the
cargo ashore, and upon shaking the con
tents of the bariel upon terra rfima, they
were still further surprised to discover
that although the poor fellow was in
censible, lift) was not extinct. The bar
rel was quickly utilized, and the body
rolled upon it till the water was pretty
well pumped from the stomach. Then
by rubbing and applying restoratives,
the man finally recovered, but he gave
such a confine d account of hime.f that
nothing definite cou d be ttsi'ertained as
to his reason for being thus b trreled
up. Some hinted that he might have
been crammed into it and chucked over
board from some schooner, while others
suggested that perchance he might have
erawhd into tin search of shelter from
the stormy blast and had been blown
into the water. His escape, however,
from death was miraculous, because if
he had been allowed to remain in this
curious hiding place a few minute
longer the vital spark would have for
ever fled.
The Biggest Lie.
Bishop Selwyn was a benevolent and
kindly spoken man as well as a great
and famous one. He interested himself
much in the poor, especially in miners.
One day, coining on a company of the
latter, he heard them talking in a very
animated way, so loudly that he said to
them : " My friends, something seems to
interest you all very much; I heard
your voices quite in the distance; may I
inquire what it isP" To which they re
plied : " You see that copper tea-kettle
there t Wt found it, and were just say
ing that the one who could tell the big
gest lie shouid have it." "Oh," said
bishop, "I am aorry for that; I hope
you will never again tell lies. Tig a
tearful habit, and so unmanly. Why, I
never told a lie in my life." Wheieupon,
the four miners shouted in a breath:
"Give the governor the kettle I" all of
them thinking his assertion " the big
gest lis they had ever heard.

A Search for Thirty Tears.
Light has at last been thrown on a
mystery that hns been inexplicable for
over thirty years. The developments
are of a startling nature and concern a
man named Griffith, sexton of the First
Presbyterian church, Allegheny, Penn.,
who disappeared about that time. He
was addicted to habits of intemperance,
nnd it was supposed had run away
from his family and gone to parts un
known. After these many years it. has
been revealed that he was murdered.
The strange story, which comes from
what is considered a reliable source, is
as follows. Two butchers, when going
to Pittsburg with their meat in the dead
hour of tht night,in passing an old grave
yard on Point ot Hill, in Allegheny,
saw a dim light in it. Tin y approached
quietly and saw Griffith in the act ot
lifting a body out of a grave which he
had opened. One of them took in his
hand a piece of board and struck him a
blow, the edge hitting him on the head,
splitting the skull. He fell dead on the
body he was stealing. Being alarmed
at what they had done, they concluded
to fill up the grave on the two. holding
that the murder would never be known
In course of time one of the butchers
It ft for some other parts and there died.
The other became dissipated, and once
while under the influence of liquor stated
these facts to some friends, who eon
eluded to keep the matter secret, as the
occurrence took place many years ago,
and nothing but trouble could be made
out of it at this late date. This man
died a few years ago, the friends keeping
the secret until the present time.
The Sea Scavenger.
This fish is a species of mussel, the
Mytilus lilhophagus. It works much
mischief on the hulls of ships, and on
this account it is regarded by ship own
ers as an enemy, yet a Westminster re
viewer, quoted by Professor Simmons,
points o ut another action of this fish
more than equivalent on the side of ad
vantage. "Were the fragments of
wrecks and masses of stray timber, that
would choke harbors and clog the
waves, permitted to remain nndestroyed,
the loss of life and injury to property
that would result would soon fur ex
ceed all the damage done and dangers
caused by the teredo. This active shell
fish is one of the police of Neptune a
scavenger and cleanser of the sea. It
attacks every stray mass of floating and
sunken timber with which it fomos in
contract, and soon reduces it to hium
lessness and dust. For one ship sunk
by it, a hundred are really saved; and
while we deprecato the mischief and dis
tress of which it has been the uncon
scious cause, we are bound to acknowl
edge that, without its operation, there
would he lnlinitely more treasure buried
in the abysses of the deep, and more
venturous mariners doomed to watery
graves." .

Whence t'oine the Birds I
Alonx in cherry-time one wonders to
see so many robins in the orchard and
over by the hedgerows; to the thorns
of which droop branches deeply beaded
witli the bits of red ripeness. Where
do the birds come from in such flocks P
A dozen in one tree, a score in another,
and even a hundred cutting the air
around like arrows that are all throat.
How do they discover the cherry trees?
And isn't it surprising they should come
long leagues after them? But where
grow the cherries the birds do flock,
and this remembered it is not strange,
that 13,000 emigrants, mainly from the
famine-stricken districts ol Silesia and
Hungary, should have landed in New
York during the last three weeks. With
bread scarce and bayonets plenty, the
lower class Europeans turn to the New
World. They know there is a strong re
vival in our prosperity that America's
cherries are once more ripe and twice
as many of them are coming this year
as came last Philadelphia Times.

cured three bottles, aud before finishing the third
bottle found rnyaeir entirely eared, and bad not
another attack of scrofula for ntne years. After
Hint period I bad to get some more VEGETINE.
hut It quickly restored me to neaitn again, and I
have not had s third attack. I am sixty-nine rest s
old, sud slnos becoming aware of the virtues ol
yunr medicine, hare given it to my children ami
grandchildren, and have recommended It to my
