Just thin a prolonged cry of distress
came from the bottom of the well.
"Dum it!" said the negro who had
brought the others there, 4'I b'lieve ole

''Par yer go, Br'er Istim," said the
preacher, "ft cussiu' an' a sw'arin' at sich

In the ineuiitime the noise at the bot

stood i;i .silent awe listening intently.

"de debbel done drug 'in down wid 'im."
"O, my brttthrin," said the preacher,

and then the negroes till ran away, scat

attached to the windlass. I lis hands were
covered with blond, of which there were
glottts on his grim, weather beaten face
anil his llanncl shirt. Climbing high
enough to step on to the solid earth he
limped to a pile of bricks and sat down,

I ruouiug ms less, mmiering curses io mm-
seir. ljyami iy lie got up, anil picking
up a piece of rope lying near, wound it
around his body and descended into the
well, from which, after a little while, lie
emerged again and began to turn the
windlass. It seemed to task his strength
somewhat to wind the rope up, as if there
were a heavy burden attached to it, but
in time the big dirt fltb appeared, and in
it, tied tightly, lest it should fall out, was
a goat a big billy goat, only half of
which was in the tub, the hind truarlers
hanging over the sitle. Holding the wind
lass with one hand while he landed his
load with the other, t!e old well digger,
with :i few imprecations scarce mete for
ears polite, proceeded to unfasten the car
cass and drag it out of the way, after
which he sat down to recover his breath
Tiie old man had come at daybreak to
his work, and while awaiting the arrival
of his assistant, Isam, had busied himself
selecting bricks for the lirst corners of the
curbing. He then examined the windlass
and its appurtenances to see that the con
stant friction had done no damage, for a
load of bricks on a man's head is no pleas
tint reminder of his own carelessness.
There was an old biily goat roving about
the lot, a veteran with the beard of a
prophet, but Fumly hadn't noticed him,
ami while he was stooping over making the
knot, that attached the tub to the rope
more secure, the goat, as if curious to see
what he was alout, had come close up be
hind him. Whether he suddenly took it in to
his head that the old man, who in that
position appeared to be a tpaadruped, was
another goat, or whether lfe was moved by
the natural desire to butt when there was
a fair target te butt at, it is impossible to
decide, but certain it is his "rambunk
sious" instincts brought him up on
his hind legs in a belligerent atti
tude, from which lie came down
with a vim that sent the old
man down to the bottom of the well.
I'oriunuU'ly Fundy lauded on his feet, h
hnving, with that impulse which prompts
us to grasp anything within reach to save
ourselves, ctuight the rope and gone
down clinging to it, the tub pressed cut
in front of him and dragging against the
side of the well, acting as a break.
I Jul he had hardly reached the end of
his rapid downward journey when his as
sailant, like that famous heroine of Mother
(.oo.-o. memory, came tumbling after; for
t l-e impetus of the blow laid carried the
giver as veil as the receiver into the trap,
as fequently happens iu more important
affairs.
The water in the well was not as yet
very deep, and standing' in it he and the
old goat fought it out old Fundy, wirh
the aid of a clasp knife that he had in his
pockc-i, coming out victorious. Robert

Georgian and Circassian.
The Georgian has a beauty quite differ
ent from that ef the Circassian. The Cir
cassian is dazzling, queenlike and stately.
tSh.e has a fair skin. She is elegant in
form. She is kindly and gentle iu voice,
but lazy in movement and without spirit.
One i f her own sct has said; "There is
no soul hi a Circassian beauty; and as shi.
pillows her pure, pale check upon h.tj
Miiali dimpled hand j'oufeel no inclination
to arouse her into exertion; you arc con
tuned to look upoa her and to contem
plate her loveliness." The Georgian is a
creature with eyes like meteors and teeth
almost as dazzling as her eyes. Her
mouth do.js not v?a; the sweet and up
ceasing smile of hep less Vivacious rival.
Hut tlie proud expression that sits upon
her finely arched lips accords so well with
her stately form and lofty brow that you.
do not seek to change its character. "The

AY. A. Croirut has recent ly taken upth"

tcienti-ts pr-fer lo call il. Mr. ( '."oil'iit
has develnped eon-iderable skill in tin's

audience. Among others present were

Mr. Cn strut ren.arkeil that t!ir c:;jieri
iiicr.taiiou with ibi'igcrous drugs and
medicated compounds under scientific
conditions would lie postponed to another
evening, but he would immediately make
tcr.ts as to the vicarious commi. io:i of
crime. After performing so.:i" minor ex
periments and getting his subjects into a,
good condition. Mr. Croii'iit nttemplcd tin;
feat of compelling a fellow being' to com
mit a. crime by tiie force of his own will,
acting upon the will f that fellow being.
One of the subjects, a young woman ( m
ployed in the government printing oili.ee.
was told to go into the audience mid pick
the ladies' pockets. She manifested great
horror of the act and refused, but by an
impend ive command the mesmerizer in
tlritedhirto comply, and without much
display of ingenuity she go! a phantom
purse, not a real one, from- Mrs. John C.
Fremont. The experiment was not satis
factory as to the practical employment of
an agent.
Another sensitive, a clerk in a depart
ment, was mesmeri.ed, and Mr. Crohn i,
explained to him that in a house t.f one
of the neighbors, in an upper chamber, in
ii certain corner and a certain drawer iu
the dressing case was: a pocket hook which
contained x.YODO. He described the situ
ation tif the house minutely, the way to
go there, the arrangement of the dressing
case and so on, repeating it over several
times until the subject had the geography
impressed upon his mind. Then handing
him two keys he said:
"The larger key will open the front
uocr of the house and tiie smaller key will
open the drawer of Cue tire-sing caf-e in
which the pocket book will be found."
He told the young man that if he would
steal that pocketbonk ho would give him
the money. There was a. good ileal of dis
cussion between the mesmerist and his
subject concerning the liability of discov
ery and arrest, but when assured that
there was nor, the slighto.-t- possibility of
imyltody interfering with him, and t hat
there were no dogs about the place, he
consent etl to undertake the burglary.
Four or five gentlemen in the mom were
asked to follow the subject-mi his trip.
Due arrangements had previously been
made with a neighbor to place the pocket
book in the situation described. The
young mail ran out into the street, turned
the corner, and when he came to the
house described by Mr. Croff nt recognized
it at once by the description. He then
began to show the greatest degree of agi
tation, looking nervously behind till the
tree boxes and around the corners, and
finally jumped over the fence, saying to
those who accompanied him -as "pals"
of whose presence he seemed only half
conscious that he did so lest the gate
should make a noise.
Envoi's axd cvrriors.
When he reached the porch his nor von
ness seemed to increase, as well h:3
caution; but he unlocked and opened the
door quietly, crept into ihL haliway.
lt Hiked round all the corners and into :.ll
the rooms, found his way up stairs iu'o
the apartment described, drew out the
key, unlocked the drawer indicated a i d
found the pocket book." He was starting
away with it. when one of thoe v. li..- a.:
conipa'iiod him called his attention to the
fact that he had left the drawer open. : i: 1
that he had better restore tilings g -. h
found them. He replied that that was a
good idea, and doing so, put the hey iu
iiis pocket. He then crept around the
room, looking into other places, and when
asked why he did so, replied iha.t he was
looking for something else heSrould sterl.
One of the party suggested to him that it
was a bad phice t- steal ;. isytlnng trtt
money, for jewelry could, be traced while
money could not. This seemed to strike
hii.i as sensible, and he remarked that the
packet book wasill of bills, and he had
better be satisfied with what he had got.
Then he crept down stairs with great
caution, shut and locked the front door
carefully after him, and reaching the
street, started to run like a f: ighteue 1
deer. One of his attendant"- caught i:r.:i
by the arm and asked him where he was
going, lie said lie was going hisniy, b'li
the attendant suggested' ho must return
to Mr. Crotfut:s house and' give him his
share of the money. The mesmerized
thief stopped a moment ami said.: "Yes,
it would be mean not to give him his
share; he put us on to the job; we v ill go
back and deal square with him."
lie returned to Mr. Croiiufs nor. so,
handed that gentleman the pocket book

money, divided it equally between the
two. 1

As is the case with the sex iu all trop

early. As ilie age it' Pi the . enori i.g
is very knowing. At 11 she is i;g.f.:re.

plump. At .y she fo.-ls tin- neei'i f art. '.o

interesting for her beauty. Too moth
tlesh, with coiisoquer.t ct;arsen- s, is the
usual trouble. An anti-fat remedy ought

fellow. Yv'iien it was explained to him
that a small cslh ction of types of .Mexican
beauty was desired, he muled ami said
he would have to think about it. "Call
again to-morrow." Something like a

his ncquies.euee with a condition "no

from his large stock of negatives were se
