Tho extent to which political feeling

occurrence near London. Lady -Maidstone
invited Henry Lahouchcrc, tho
editor of Truth, to address a meeting at
of Conservative Homo Killers at her
residence. Unfortunately it happened
that she was living iu it place that she
rented from a rabid Tory. He heard of
the proposed meeting anihdecidcd to pre
vent it. Accordingly ho built brick
walls, erected barriers iu tho road, locked
the gates and did everything in his power
to hinder the gathering. Tho crowd that
gathered to hear Lubouchcrc, however,
were not deterred, but proceeded with
out delay to irruuili' all the walls, barri
cades, gates, etc., that the irate landlord
had constructed, after Which tho meet

Australia has a remarkable boy named

by his side. "This is tho child, your
honor," ho remarked, amidst much merri
ment. ' "Good gracious!" exclaimed tho
magistrate, "what height is he?". "Six1
feet six inches," replied the parent. "And
what's his age!" "Thirteen years and
nino months." "Well," said the magis
trate, "according to his ago he. comes
under the education act, though not ac
cording to his stature, so I must impose
a lino of live shillings." The Imy is de

THE 31AMATER.
A STOIIY OK INDIA.
' There were two entrances to the draw
ing room; this must be borne iu mind.
Tho house itself was old-fashioned, a
largo and many-gabled one, standing
quite alone and solitary in n spacious
garden; all the windows had been closed
and the jalousies shut ami secured from
tho outwidc; the tatty-grass, blinds on
tho piazza had been rolled up nnd put
away until another blazing morning
called for their refreshing shade.
The locality was near that part of the
delta called tho Siindorbuiids, through
which the Ganges expands its branches
as it approaches the sea a labyrinth of
creeks and rivers, of jungle and stagnant
water. The night was perfectly line,
but moonless; there was a heavy dew
rapidly falling, like a misty rain, fieh,
in hot countries, is a perfectly natural
occurrence.
I went into the drawing-room by what
might bo called the back door, as.it led
into the back drawing-room, and smaller
of tho two; the other, n far larger apart
ment, communicated with this one by
great folding doors of gold and white.
The back drawing-room was very full of
furniture, ' rather inconveniently so. As
I was carrying an armful of books, and
in my disengaged hand a lamp, I pro
ceeded, with tolerable security, though
slowly, but then, of course, I knew tin
room and could have gone to my desti
nation in the dark. What struck me ns
both curious and irritative was the fancy
that the room seemed more impeded than
ever with tho furniture dark, old
fashioned rosewood furniture, which
hud been made to match the piano. The
various articles looked as if they had
been dragged about the room. 1'ossibly
the darkness above and around nie helped
the illusion; anyway, they had the ap
pearance of having been gradually spread
toward the centre ot the room round n
heavy and solid table. It was this table
that 1 wished to go to. I walked very
slowly, partly because I did not wish to
spill tho books which I had spent the
last hour in collecting, and partly be
cause of nn unaccountably horrible! feel
ing which had come over me. This part
of the house was quite silent; indeed, it
was often so of an evening. My brother
had passed me on his way upstairs, hay
ing been all day at Madrepore, and no
doubt being tired had gone to bed.
There we're very few stairs at all, as the
house was practically a one-storied one,
rambling ami full of nngels, having been
built and added to at various times; hero
and there little staircases streamed out,
leading to long passages and unexpected
cupboards; the back drawing-room door
itself opened from a side-llight of five
stairs. As I had encountered two small
chairs and nn overturned music stands I
stood still for a second, looking for n
clear passage, and thereby holding the
lamp high and well iu front of me; as I
paused amid the complete silence which
reigned, an immense tiger slow ly crossed
the path of light, turning on me two
burning, yellow eyes, gleaming like vivid
topazes. I stood there in stiffened terror
and heard my heart beat. The tiger's
mouth was parted nnd running with
saliva; so wide was it hanging open at
the corners that tho serrated edges of the
lower lips were plainly visible. It glared
with a steadfast look of such grinding
cruelty, such conscious tuulignity, that
it froze my blood ami turned my limbs to
stone.
The tiger crossed the India-malting of
the room with a noiseless, swinging gait ;
as it appeared to have coino from the ob
scurity near tho piano, so. it vanished
into the obscurity beyond that is, out
side tho pathway of the lantern-light. 1
stood perfectly immovable, still clutch
ing the books with my left arm, still
holding the lamp before me, still gazing
at the place it had crossed, and appar
ently, forever seeing that awful look
upon the tiger's face. It seemed as it'
my eyes saw tho face, though 'my mind
hud rapidly suggested the fright fill prob
ability that tho tiger was behind me. At
the sumo time, by some dual menial pro
cess, it was holding out hope that the
animal had passed through thu great
folding doors into tho dark room beyond.
I have no remembrance at all of my mind
dictating the next action 1 pursued; it
seemed just an instinct indulged iu by th
body upon its own account and for itsj
own immediate preservation.
I laid the books very carefully down,
without Making the slightest uuiiect -sary;
noise or disturbing thu hand tha: hi Id'
tho lump, and then, raising with slow
effort one of thu heavy liirle chairs (hat
had blocked my passage, I sileniiy swung;
it on to lav shoulders and held K so lliatl!
it covered my head, then turned siowly
sidewise, with my mind impressed with,
the necessity of keeping the lamp as fai
ns possible behind inc. This struck lnci
at the time as clever and of unquestiona
ble importance in saving my life. 1
uiuuagcd to walk gently out of the room.
1 suppose 1 hud been iu it live minutes,
but it seemed like a weary hour.
As l dosed the door and locked it, my
brother unexpectedly came down the
passage and passed me on tho little flight
of stairs; he was rather iu a hurry.
"Godfrey," 1 called out to him, "do
you mind pulling the front door to in thu
large drawing-room as you go by?" It
seems strauge now, but. 1 cuuld think of
nothing else to say then, and 1 said it
slowly and quite naturally.
He assented and disappeared, mid I,
without noticing it nt the time, look up
the chair again, aad w itli my lamp as
cended the short, flight of siairs, and pro
ceeded along the passage to my own room,
walking slowly and iruardedlv. The
mind hud evidently been so shocked that
it had not recovered its dominant nwny
over (ho body, Upon reaching my ortrn
I'ooin, I put the chair carefully down and
sat. upon it. The lump I had placed on
the table at the same time. I sat there n
few seconds, feebly wondering which
room the tiger was In. Then I got up
with a sudden alacrity, took from its
case a large revolver, ami turned into the
passage again. In a minute or so I was
in Godfrey's room. Ho was half un
dressed. "What's the matter?" ho de
manded, with startled eyes. When I
had told him, ho took my hand nnd
wrung it. "You may thank God that
you are alive, old fellow." Then he
dressed hurriedly, took a heavy rillc from
n rack, and filled his pockets with cart
ridges. "Come along; stay, let me go
first; your nerves are a bit shaky yet." "
We crept out and awakened the punkah
wallah, nn old and faithful Hindoo,
whom my brother once nursed during a
dangerous illness a brave and trust
worthy man, who would have laid his
life down for Godfrey.
"It is the nian-ente;-'." said the Hin
doo, after my recital.
"Yon will come with us, ltamee?"
asked my brother. The old man smiled
as if tin? question were sierfluous.
"Will the sahib let his servant advise
him?"
"Yes, liunioc; tell me your plan."
As the Hindoo rapidly unfolded it, my
brother smiled dubiously at tho strange
idea.
"Cunning must be met with cuuuhig,"'
saiil the Hindoo.
"It'll take three hours to arrange," I
remarked.
"Three hours will bring the dawn;
now, who can see in the dark? not the
sahib, but yes, the tiger."
"Very well," said Godfrey, "let's see
about it at once." From the gardener's
outhouse we brought n roll of wire net
ting which had beu put there for fenc
ing iu a paddock a few days previously.
Together we collected urmsfulof shavings
the workmen had not cleared away,
quantities of dried leaves, rags every
thing wc could find soft and pliable; nnd,
having cut the wire into three square
lengths, firmly lashed them together, one
over the other. When completed, it was
the shape but rather larger than the win
dow in the room in which the tiger lay
hidden, and the doors of- which had been
locked. Our operations so far had been
conducted upo:i the veranda outside, near
the gardener's room ; we then rolled up
the wire netting and carried it rouud tho
corner of tho house to within a few
yards of the big window; hero it
was unrolled again nnd flattened out,
then upon its surface wo poured all the
shavings, rags, leaves and refuse we had
collected, and upon this muss smeared
n:id spread a quantity of lime left by the
workmen for tho morrow. This we
smoothed down ns well as we were nblo,
till the whole' mass assumed sonic con
sistency nnd clung to the interstices of
tho netting. Hanico next took some
stout twine and improvised a rough kind
of needle from a bamboo-cane. With
this implement he sewed all over the
mass of stuff, thus making a string-netting
which helped to keep the composi
tion in its place. So far, so good; the
most ditticult operation yet remained.
"Take my gun," said Godfrey to me,
"and give nicthe revolver."
".Sahib," whispered the Hindoo, plac
ing a restraining hand upon my brother,
"let ltamee complete his work is it not
his duty? If he fails he shall suffer."
"You foolish man," snid Godfrey,
"how can you do it alone?" With slow
and noiseless steps tho netting, looking
very like a large mattrcss.was carried ex
actly opposite the window and laid gent
ly down; then both retired ns silently as
they had advanced.
ltamee then brought from the out
house a ladder, and with a gesturmof en
treaty signed to my brother toj stand
aside und take his ritio in his .hand.
With bare feet tho Hindoo crepVup to
tho window again and reared thot'laddcr
against tho wall. Taking a coil, of rope
from 'his neck, ho deftly fastened it to
the highest wall staple of the outside
shutter. Descending, he quickly enlaced
the short stand in the netting, placed the
ladder on the other side, and rau the
thong through the other staple. For
the lirst tune he matio noise, but it was
unavoidable, caused by tho netting be
ing drawn upward till it hnugjlike a urcnt
curtain, covering the shutter'iind hiding
the window from us.
Godfey ami 1 stood ready to lire.
The Hindoo, perspiring nt every pore
descended the ladder, which ho lowered
and placed horizontally on the window
sill, and lushed it to the bottom of the
nettim; and again fastened that to the
two lower staples on cither side.
The thing was done; far away ou the
east the dawn w as breaking, above which
the morning star was slowly puling its
silver tire.
Hut, ltamee, the shutters are still-fas-
tened'.
hib, I unfastened them; they are
open the breadth of a man n hand ; pres
ently tho light w ill st renin through."
"Quick; fetch another rifle."
When he returned, I took the gnu and
gave him my revolver.
A light breath of wiud passed lnur
muring through the feathery crowns of
the slender cocoa-palms, two great
iqn-ais of litrht shot up iu the sky, some
where in the garden a turd sang the
sun hud risen. "Wait the. signal," whis
pered my brother; "now, Huinee." The
Hindoo knelt down and imitated the
bleating of a kid that had lost its mother.
At the instant ltamee sprang to his feet,
the silence was rent by a sundering
crash anil a sudden, terrific roar; the
shutters were torn from their sockets, u
great mass hurled itself precipitately
through tho window, and the tiger, with
its head und shoulders buried in the
lime-covered debris, was grappling in
maddened fury with an enemy he could
not seo uor make much imprcssiou upon.
Our guns were at our shoulders.
The uuiinal was twenty feet from us,
tearing up the graveled path, und coiling
itself in inextricable confusion iu the
broken netting and splintered ladder,
lianiee uttered a loud cry. Tho aiiiiual
hud freed its head, aud stood with its
bleeding mouth iu un enforced listening
nttidtide. lt!vus the moment Godfrey
hud waited fir, nnd he fired; The tigrf,
evidently not. seeing him, sprang nt the
window ngnin, but missed tho opening,
hurling itself against the wall nnd falling
on the broken shutters. At the minute
it alighted, I aimed nt the spot behind
the shoulder and fired ;" it gave a convul
sive leap nnd turned its bloodshot eyes in
our direction. Then Godfrey fired again
and told me to do the same.
"Back! back!" cried ltamee.
Tho animal had gathered itself to
gether and sprung forward Willi one
mighty bound, and rolled over with
a scream of dying rage.
When wo came to measure tho brute
afterward, we found it was fifteen feet
from tho nose to the tip of his tail 27n

Secret of Gordon's Wonderful Power.
What was the secret of his wonderful
power? Much of it. lay iu his fearless
ness, much iu his swiftness of thought
and action, and much in what the Yankee
would call his capability in till things,
small ns well ns great. He could ride
and shoot and tinker nnd conduct cam
paigns nnd negotiate treaties, all with
unhesitating self-reliance. As a matter
of course such a man takes comniaud.
Gordon never lacked opportunities to
show these qualities. When steaming
quietly up tho Nile a monkey with which
he was playing fell overboard. In a
twinkling Gordon was iu the wuter after
him. Hy good luck tho crocodiles got
neither Governor-General nor monkey.
When a nugger was being hauled up thn
rapids some way south of Lado the cable
got away from the men on tho bank and
the vessel was swept on tho rocks. Nc
one would volunteer to go out and pick
up the cable and Gordon jumped into a
skilf and went ulone. To be sure tho
skill upset, nud the Governor-General
sat some hours dripping on n rock, but
his men had a lesson. On another oc
casion the garrison of one of the stations
was thrown into much anxiety by seeing
Gordon alone, rowing across the river to
the east bank, which in that region was
occupied by intensely hostile negroes.
I Iu landed, made his boat fast, and tried
by a display of beads and wire to induce
the savages to come anil talk with lnm.
They simply sat on thu hillside and
scowled. Finally Gordon shot a hippo
potamus aud paddled back, leaving the
beads on the shore and a hue feast of
hippopotamus meat iu the rushes. An
other man would have been killed. I
was amused to see on his table at Khar
toum handsomu spoons and forks with
his crest half effaced by rough scratches.
1 could fancy Gordon, vexed by some nu-
usuul flummery, seizing a rat-tail tile and
proceeding to put out of his sight one
more vanity. It was not that ho was not
proud of his family. On tho contrary, he
could pay a man no greater compliment
thuu to say "You are like a Gordon;"
but all the marks and signs of rank some
times became intolerable to him. ,Sc-W4-

Priilo liaised the Valuation.
A certain young married lady in Min
neapolis, Minn., is thoroughly imbued
witli Minneapolis ideas, and is nothing if
not loyal to her native city. While she
knows all about housekeeping, and can
mnke n dollar go about ns fur as nny one,
when it comes to muuicipal affairs she is
nt sea.
When the assessors were nt work one
of those officials visited the lady's home.
Iu stating his errand the assessor ex
plained that, he was getting the accurate
value of all the property iu the city, und
from the way the pupulation had increused
and real estate jumped he was suro tho
assessment would show u prosperous in
crease for Minneapolis.
That cuuglit the young wife, and, not
knowing the whole truth, sho believed it
her dutv to help swell thu valuation by
placing everything owned by herself aud
husbiuid nt the highest possible figure.
That sho was lavish in her estimate of
values there is no doubt, and a more sur
prised man than her husband was would
lie hard to find when ho received uotico
that ho would have to pay n tux on per
sonal property valued at ljll.000. Of
course he kicked, und finally hud the sum
reduced to iplOOO, which is even more
thuu ho expected to be assessed for.
It is sate to say that if nn assessor
would cull on that woman now she would
tell him that tho furniture was only
rented, ami that there was a chuttel
mortgage on the stove. Ht. J'mil Mule.
A Wonderful Mino'.
Mr. L. H. French, who has recently
returned from Alasku, saw tho wonder

lias been named "Sileut City." It is
occasionally visible in the summer sensou
from certain points in Glacier Hay. He
describes it as follows,
"About live o'clock on the afternoon
o f uu early July day we suddenly per
ceived rising above thu glacier over iu
the direction of Mount Fuirweather what
at first appeared to be a thin, misty cloud.
It soon became clearer, and we distinctly
saw a spectre city moving toward us.
We could plainly see houses, well defined
streets and trees. Here und there rose
tall spires over huge buildings which ap
peared to be ancient mosques or cathe
drals. "It wis a large city, one which would
contain at least one hundred thousand in
habitants. 1 have seen Milwaukee
ninaged over Lake Mulligan, and this
city appeared considerably larger than
(hut. it did not look like it modern city
more like an ancient Kuropeaii city. I
noticed particularly thu immense height
of the spires.

THE KENTUCKY .SHAKERS.
A SMALL COLONY OF THE DISCI
PLES OF ANN LEE.

AVho .loin I lie Community.
.Iut whore the dimpling vales of the
blue grass region melts into the rich
broad tobacco fa-Ids of southern Ken
tucky is the village built many years
ago by the Shakers, a curious religious
sect founded by an Knglish woman
nnincd Ann Lee, to whom was revealed
the saving grace of celibacy, and com
munism. It was, perhaps, owing to the
fondness of Americans for new creeds
that the doctrine found its warmest ad
vocates in this country, and thnt there
are now sonic twenty communities of
Shakers scattered over the I'niou.
The community iu Kentucky, the only
Southern State in which Shakcrism ex
ists, was founded iu the wake of a great
religious movement which swept over
the State some eighty odd years ago, and
which had as one of its peculiar features
a curious nervous manifestation of which
old people still speak with nwe, but
which went by .the undignified ami de
scriptive name or "the jerks." According
to the traditions of that time business
anil amusements were alike suspended.
The jovial Kcntuckians forebore for a
season to either race horses or swap them,
barbecues and burgoos were unattended,
and the entire country gave itself up to
the consideration of its soul. It was
then that the presence of some spiritual
power was made manifest by the sinner
"under conviction being taken l.y a
violent nnd painful twitching of the
nerves and muscles that thrcatned to rend
every bone asunder and made the long
hair of the women crack like whip cords.
Of course ii this haniicncd so long ago
that when people talk of it the oldest in
habitant has the floor: but certain it is
that as this religious excitement began to
wane missiouarits from the Shaker com
munities of New York and Ohio came to
Kentucky nud fotiud a harvest ready for
gathering.
" Taking the vows of celibacy, the idea
of giving up husband and wife, houses
and lands, of owning everything in com
mon and doing daily menial work from
exalted religious motives, seems to have
appealed strongly to heaits already aflame
with spiritual enthusiasm, and so the
Shaker eoniinuniiy in Kentucky was com
posed of some of the best blood and
wealth of the State. In u short while
the village was built, with 4000 acres of
rich blue grass and tobacco land rolling
off from it, and with stores and mills and
factories that not only supplied their own
wants, but yielded a handsome revenue.
For many years all went well. Under
the broad ' brimmed Shaker hats
were shrewd business beads that directed
the affairs of the community. The mem
bers worked faithfully at their tasks, aud
Shaker preserves and blankets and seeds
gained a deserve! reputation for excel
lence, but by and by the wise men died
oil, and 'sharpers found the unworldly
littl" conimunily only too easy to victim
ize, and thu Shakerlown of to-day is
hardly what it was fifty years ago.
Such, at least, was what they told me
the other day, says a correspondent of
the I'lniiiiiit,' w hen I drove up tin-broad,
grassy street of this quaint little village,
and looked about me. The air was ful
of the; haze of Indian similiter, ami ii
seemed the quietest and peacefulest spol
ou earth. Scattered up and down the
street were the big, bare, barnlike house:
iu which the families of fifty or more re
side, each house under the rule of a head
man and woman and each provided with
its own dairy, poultry, house garden,
etc. Here w as the store, there the church
or meeting-house; under a broad row of
maples was a walk of white stone, anil a
w ind mill made a point of color against
the forest that skirted the orchards und
meadows.
The big, bare halls of the houses were
scrupulously clean, as were the rooms
opening off of them - the- men's apart
ments being on one side and the women's
ou the other. In the dining-rooms were
two heavy tables, at one of which tin
women cat after they have served the
ineu. In all household arrangements tin
men are considered first and one could
but wonder that a woman should have
started a religion that put her own sex at
such obvious disadvantage. It might
just as well have been the work of a man.
There was a hum of gentle voices ou
the ail, and following the sound we
found ourselves at the great preserving
house where the women were busy stir
ring masses of aromatic quinces slowly
stewing iu burnished copper kettles over
a furnace lire. It was almost the last of
the preserving season, but packed away
in the cellars w ere tiers aud tiers of glass
jars
of ruby cherries and plums, and
peaches ami pears floating in their owu
gohh-n juices a hive of sweets which
one would think would be a standing
temptation to the very young Shakers
who have not vet learned to overcome
the appetites of the- world.
The numbers of pretty rosy children
playing about seemed somewhat out ol

Of happy harvest meadows, and tho grasses

When my dreams come truo when my

Than any lily horn of pride that blossoms

And so it is I know my heart w ill gladly web.
