Theno ix'ojilo will hardly, however, go o far as to celebrate the hundreltli anniversary of the tirst execii tion in Paris by the instrument of de capitation which the "Constituante" adopted on the motion or Dr. Gnillotin, who had Keen the machine at w-rk in Italy. The doctor's idea in introducing the lM)is de justice was purely philan thropise, for he wanted to do away with the blow tortures inllicted ujK.n crim inals. On May 27. lT'Ji, the hrtit crim inal, a highwayman, was executed 011 the Place do Greve, now the Place de THotel tie Ville. This is the date given by Larousse, but other authorities htat that Monday, April 2.", was the ItHUh amiiver.-iary of tho first executim by the guillotine in Paris. In any case the terrible instrument was destined to Iks busy during 170:1 on the heads of jK-rsons more illustrious than the common highwayman named Peletier. For this reason some of the modern sympathizers with the Terror ists. Huowsiiitr them to have the blood- i thirsty intention of celebrating the cen tenary or tho guillotine, wouia no inclined to fix the date of their com memorative ceremony on Jan. 21 next. There can he no doubt about that day, as it would be tho 100th anniversary of the execution of Louis XVI on the Fpot marked by the obelisk in the Place de la Concorde, as the spacious plot of ground once termed the Place Louis XV, and afterward the Place de la Revolution, is nowadays known.

Mr. John Older and partner were fish ing with their large net on the beach five miles lelow Pablo when they saw an immense dark object about 100 feet ahead come slowly out of the ocean and walk leisurely up on tho beach. They at once started to capture the monster, which proved to be a turtle, tho li!;e of which was never seen on tho lieach before. It measured 7 feet 0 inches in length and 2 feet 10 inches across the back. It had a beautiful black color on the back. The belly is spotted like a rattlesnake, and it will weigh at leaet 800 pounds. 1 he monster was .Vaulod up by JUr. unttona team, and can be seen at the Arcade. This no fit-li story, as will bo seen by the following affidavits: "We, the undersigned citizens of Pablo, do certify that the above account of the capture of the said turtle, or whatever it may be, is true.

A very slight and polite criticism in dulged in at the expense of a cavalry of ficer who was riding about a week ago at the horw bhow ha assumed the pro ixa tions of a serious event. The ofiicer in q.ier'.iou sent a letter to the writer sayiug that he could understand the criticising the horsemanship of jockeys and grooms, but that he had no business it p;t-s any remarks on that of "gentle men or officers." lie forbade tho jour nalist to mention his inline, ami wound up by adding vhat his sole right was that of the stronger and that he would prove it if the offense were repeated. Tho journalist in a second paragraph re marked that he did not think ho had acted improperly in criticising tho per formances of horsemen who rode iu ; public place to which admission was ob tained by payment, and, ref erring to the I letter, said he could not ladieve that it : had been penned by a French ofiicer, i and was convinced that it was a forgery. ! Thereupon the cavalry ofiicer sent two i of his friends to the journalist with a hostile message, and in the duel that ; followed he wounded him in the arm. He thus proved that he was "Le plus fort." But the affair is creating a great sensation, the prevailing opinion being that the argument employed by the ofii- cer was. to say the least, utterly illogi cal in fact, this unlucky episode has brought once more on tho tapis tho vexed question of the exjedieiicy of military men displaying their prowess at races and horse shows. Paris Cor. Loudon Telegraph. Will Live In GIumm House. At the city of Dinard, in the depart ment of Ille-et-Vilaine, France, there lives a man distinguished both for his originality of ideas and for tho fullness of his money bags. He has been speak ing and teaching for a long time ujon the necessity of men beginning to lead lives of greater purity, so that they need not be afraid of having all their deeds under the incessant supervision of so ciety. He is himself willing to submit to the trial aud wants to hnd others to do the same, lie has determined to have a three story house built all of glass. A dwelling of such transparency would not not only allow its inhabitants at all times a splendid prospect in every direction upon the beautiful country surrounding the place, but also expose the minutest details of the daily life of the people in the house to tho inspection of the entire city. The originator of the idea has found an architect willing to build tho house on condition that ho receives payment in advance. But there is 110 renting agent that will take the agency for it. If it is to bo a lodging house for bachelors, they say, thev may be ablo to do somethin; with it, but they cannot hnd a temale, thev think, that would consent to live in a glass house. Nevertheless tho old crentleman is determined to realize his idea. Chicago Herald. Uolug to Africa.

That slavery still exists in the Pacific ia evidenced by the fact that the steamer Jloneserrat is fitting out for a blackbird cruise, and will sail shortly for Gilbert island, whence it will carry a hold full of natives o work on the Guatemala coffee plantations. All this is to be done under the guise of an equitable contract. Last September the bn; Tahite, load ed with 100 Gilbert islanders, and noto riously a slaver, was blown off its course and put in at Duke's bay. Learning that it was likely -to bo seized, its captain put hurriedly to sea and the next that was heard of it was when sighted bot- torn up Oil tlie coast, an its crew ana carco havinsr perished. The same have planned the Moneserrat's slaving cruise, hoping to recoup themselves. There will be no dimculty in getting a cargo, as agents at the island are now at work inducing the natives to sign contracts. Washington Star. In a Florida Garden. Lovers of the beautiful, the beautiful in plant lite, snouia pay a visit to a garden belonging to a private house at the corner of Market and Church streets. To say that it is a blaze of color is to convey but a faint idea of it; scarcely a bare spot of ground is to be seen for the length of an entire block roses, pinks, calleopsis, phlox, pansies, sweet alyssuxn, all thrusting forward their claims for recognition.

Woodchoppers on Dr. Price's Lenape farm report that squirrels are very numerous among the trees. When the choppers began last fall there were several acre3 of trees standing and the squirrels were not numerous, but as the trees were cut, a few at a time, the little animals were driven from one place of refuge to another until all were gathered into a small space, and the lew remaining trees are filled with them. A man who had been working among them says some of the hollow trees are packed so full of squirrels that the tim bers creak every time the animals draw a deep breath. . In the morning when the men go out to work they are met at the railway tracks by the knowing little animals, which feel secure because tbe game laws protect them at this season. A gentleman who has seen them says that they do not offer to carry the kettles of the men, although they do not object to sharini? the contents. West Chester (Pa.) Republican. A Sad Story. A contemporary relates that there was a tragedy in the composing room of a Philadelphia paper the other day. The compositors were busy at their cases when one of their number, a young woman, fainted away, and she was con veyed to her home. Another compositor finished her "take,' which proved to be an account of a suicide in another city. There were forty compositors in the room, but this particular copy fell to this particular young woman, and the suicide was her affianced sweetheart. A Tame lii-kliii. Tlie extraordinary right of a duckling that has just shed its Hlull following a young woman about the house with all the alFection of a pet dog is a domestic wonder in the family of Mrs. Carr. Ever since Easter morn the neighbors have been dropping in to witness the spec tacle, and the fame of the Mti-iiihir at tachment has attracted attention nnong people who are interested m natural phenomena of every description. The little duckling has been m tne family since Easter Sunday, when u was brought as a gift to Mrs. Carr's baby daughter, Strena, aged four year.--, who was delighted with her new pet. The duck at once struck up a long friendship for the domestic, Mary Mc Cullough, and has been the young wom an's constant companion ever since. Whenever Mary speaks the duck re sponds with the piping salutation and waddles after the young woman wher ever she goes. The most astonishing thing about this freak of nature is that if any other inmate of the household attempts to induce it to answer, the webfooted prodigy maintains a solemn silence, but Mary has only to utter a word w'aen the quacking begins and is kept up until she has ceased speaking.

Mary's Claim. A little girl is reported to have died near the imaginary line in Oklahoma which divided the recently opened res- servations from the remainder of the territory just as the signal was given for the grand rush for lands. The child and her father were alone and unknown, hut the beauty of the one and the still, deep grief of the other moved the strong men of the frontier to acts of admirable sympathy. A runner on a swift horse located a homestead, and returning placed the fatlipr nf tlie dfifld trirl in nossession of it. The body of the child was trans-1 ported to the claim and buried upon it. Afterward it was discovered the re maining one of the unfortunate couple was absolutely penniless, and a purse of money wa3 given him with the hope that the claim will prove a haven of rest to him and that the homestead shall al ways be known as "Mary's claim."

Black snow lately fell in the canton of Geneva, Switzerland, a phenomenon which was once thought to -presage the black plague and other calamities, but is now known to le due to a fungus in the snow. A large contract for steel rails has been placed in Belgium in connection with the new Turkish railway to Salonika- This is thought to be an out come of the recent coal troubles in England. Death from Ingrowing Toe Nail. Some time ago there was published the story of the death of a Long Island physician from blood poisoning result ing from an ingrowing toe nail. A well known surgeon chiropodist said the other day to the reporter: "The death of that Long Island doctor is not the first I have heard of from the same cause. "The cause of the disease is comnfon and painful and usually directly trace able to narrow toed shoes. It causes pain as severe as a toothache and not infrequently, when neglected, results in blood poisoning. I know of an opera tion for ingrowing toe nail in an English hospital where the patient suffered so much pain that they gave him a-mixture of ether and chloroform. The operation was successful, but when it was finished the physicians found that their patient had died from the chloroform." New York Sun. To Preserve an Alpine Flower. The diet of the Tyrol last week passed a bill imposing heavy fines upon persons found selling any sample of the beauti ful but rare Alpine flower called edel weiss, which has been pulled up by the roots on the mountains. A similar act was passed seven years ago by the diet of Salzburg, with a view to the preserva tion of the edelweiss plant, which is threatened with extinction in the Aus trian Alps.
