auses'and, were it not for you, gentleman
f tbe long robe, who should have more wit
nd honesty than to support and hold up
hese factious knaves by the chin, we should
ot be at the pass we are at." During' the
mous Western Assize Jeffreys condemned
vast number of persons to death for
artimpe.ting n the Duke of Monmouth's
hellion, of whom about three hundred
ere executed.
He was fond, as he put it, of "giving a

Titus Oates was bad from his earliest in -

There are few more diabolical crimes in
istory than that of Oates, who invented
e Popish plot which cost many innocent
d valuable lives, merely for the sake of
troduoing a little excitement into his life.
ccording to Oates's revelations, the Pope
ad planned to have Charles IL killed by
o doctors, two silver bullets, four Irish -

robbed several banks in the most straight-
forward and artistie manner. In the town
of Serildie they took possession of the po-
lice station and did the robbing in police
uniforms. ,
For more than a year the police in vain
pursued them through the bush. Finally
they planned a masterpiece. 13 was to mur-
der a man who had informed against them,
to wreck the train bearing a party of police
to the scene of the murder and then rob the
bank of Benalle. Each man wore on dan-
gerous expeditions a suit of armor weighing
ninety-seven pounds, made of old plough
shares.
The police special was saved by the pre -
Bence of mind of a schoolmaster. The
police besieged the outlaw e in a hotel to
which they had taken their prisoners.
Their armor prevented them from aiming.
It was a strange scene when Ned Kelly ap-
peared in the rear of tbe police and opened
fire on them with his revolver. Their
rifle bullets failed to penetrate his armor
and he laughed as they kept up the keit-
lade. Finally he was disabled by bullets
in tee hands and legs.
The outlaws in the hatel refused to sur-
render, but let their prisoners come out.
On the night of the second day the police
set fire to the hotel and burned the out-
laws in it. One had been killed early in
the day and the other twa shot themselves,
it is believed, when the fire began. While
the building was burning a Roman Catho-
lic priest, Father Gibney, rushed in and
rescued a wounded old man who had been
left in the building. NedKelly was hang-
ed at Melbonrne. His sister and brother
Jim afterwards exhibited themselves at
a music hall.

'ABOUT FALLING CATS.

A despatch from Paris says :—The
French Academy of Sciences spent almost
an entire day last week profoundly discus-
sing the question why cats fall on their
feet. M. Marcy ASA a paper and submit
ted 60 photographs depicting puss in various
attitudes while falling about five feet. The

making a series of desperate appeals for
succor ; then a somersault was turned with
more or lees grace ; finally the feline
reached the growth on its four paws, and
then with tail aloft bolted into 22 afe

Learned discussion as to the cause of the
phenomenon. M.' Marey thought the prob.
lem had been triumphantly solved by puss
in the first three feet of the descent. M.
/dilne Edwards, M. Berthelot, and others
maintained that the cat uses the haod or
other object causing the fall as a leverage
for turning round, but this did not agree
with the early photographs in which there
is no sign of rotation. M. Marcel, in The
Press suggested that intestinal movement
might accoune for the phenomenon. M.
Marey promised to continue his experiments

GEN. Wif.I.JAM ROOTH, HEAD eV TUB sALvATION, ARMY.
WILL FIGHT VIM
GENERAL BOOTH TO LEAD AN AT-
TACK ON CANADA.
An interested!: interview with the hotin-
der and Command er-ln-Ch Ler o k the sal-
vation Army—What Ito Has Done and
What He Win Do.
Generol William Booth, the founder of the
Salvation Army and its Commander-
in-Chief,was met with a flatteriug reception
in Canada not alone from the army, but
from all the churches. He has outlined
the plans for a campaign whieh he will
wage against the devil in seventy cities in
Canada and the United States between
now and the middle of next March. So
well has the campaign been arranged that
the General knows howlie will spend every
minute of his time until he returns to Epg-
land. He will hold in all 570 meetings.
Time has not dealt too unkindly with the
General. Though he looks every minute
of his sixty -fire years, and his hair and
beard are gray, there is still plenty of fire
in his voice and energy in his action when
he gets rousedwhile speaking of his life's
work. Elie eyebrows are still black.
"I consider my health 'wonderful," said
the General. ".L take care of myself, 1Vly
habits are moderate. In principle and
practice I have been a vegetarian for lateen
months, but before coming to this country,
not wishing to be unnecessarily. singular, I
returned to a meat diet. I shall live in
private houses while here, and I know that
nay hosts will probably prepare dishes for
me, and that they will be disappointed if I
don't take them. So, you see. I have back -
slipped."
General Booth was dressed in 'a scarlet
jersey, oovered -with a long military coat,
the collar of which bore the seal of the
army and the motto "Blood and Fire."
He wears a silk hat, somewhat like thet of
a Parisian boulevardier. He is tbe only
officer in the army who is allowed. to wear
this dress.
Like his son, General Booth speaks with
the accent of an Englishman from the
vicinity of Staffordshire or Lancashire. 't-
ie e term of speech rarely heard from the
lips of educated Englishmen. Occasionally
he drops an "h " or two.
SOME ACTIVE CAMPAIGNING.
Traveling as part of the staff of the
Napoleon of Blood and Fire is Colonel
Lawley, an officer of seventeen years'
etancling in the English Salvation Army,
who has voyaged constantly with the Gen-
eral. He /dugs solos, such as they are,
of his own composition and assists me in
prayer meetings," said the General, de-
scribing him. Colonel Nichol, a Scotoh
officer, editor of the English War Cry, of
the Social Gazette and of the Young Sol-
dier, which have a ornbined, circulation of
four hundred thousand, and Staff Captain
Taylor, a sort of official reporter, complete
the imported party.
The general's secretary read from a book
the doings of the chief since his arrival
on this side of the Atlantic. He has spent
824 hours in travelling, of which twelve
nights were in railway trains, and he has
gone 3,650 miles, showing that he didn't
go very quickly; he has made nineteen
short addresses, fifty.six long ones, devot.
ed 110 hours to business, written fifty let-
tere, granted raeventeen interviews to re-
porters and addressed 100,000 people.
General Booth outlined his social re-
generation se.hemee. In Great Britain the
army has 220 institutions, classified as fol.
lows:— Slum posts, 64; resete homes, 48;
ex-oriminal homes 12; food depots, 20;
shelters, ; laboileareaus, 19 ; labor fac-
tories, 17 ; farm colonies, 6; total, 220.
He says that seventy per cent. of "lost"
girls who are placed in situations by the
army are still saved, after three year. Poor
men who are "down," he thinks through
losing their chance, or through it2ness, oan
be lifted up if only there is sonie one to
lift then, I is not a crime te have
lost all oise lute, and to have to pawn one's
clothes. ,

"Do you suppose I'm such an ass," he
went on vehemently, "as to want to trans-
fer a lot of loafers, abandoned women and
criminals to my colony 9" Then he asked,
referring to the word "ass." "Do you
say that in this country ? " There was a
chorus of " /es." Then the General asked
that the word be changed to simpleton.
"In my farm colony in England I have
520 strapping fellows who work from six
in the morning to six in the evening every
day," he said. "They get a little money
and they save SOme of it, and they're court-
ing the girls in the village. They are be-
ing made into good men. They are the
product of our efforts, money, prayer and
love.
"It is not my intent to send only reform-
ed persons to the farm colony, nor to leave
them to their fate when they get there.
We shall have prepared places for prepared
candidates, cottages and spades and wheel-
barrows all ready for them, , the ground
owned by the army and rented to them.

igy scheme is vastly superior to that of
Baron Hirsch, and I ani not discouraged by
anything Herbert Spencer may have said
about such colonies.
"I do not contemplate founding my col-
ony in the States. I don't know where it will
be, but of ten colonies suggested to me,
representatives of seven have asked me to
ask for land in their borders. But I'm like
a man -with too many sweethearts, I
don't know which to choose."
APPROVED I3Y TRE QUEEN.
Then some one asked him what the
Queen of England thought of the Salvation
Army, and the General replied :--
"Oh, the Queen expressed herself favor-
ably on the question long ago. There is
not a Liberal in the present government who
is not in hearty syinpathy with me. In tact,
I don't know of any one of repute who is
opposed to me.
"As to the opposition to the Army on
account of the -noise it makes,that is dying
out. In religion there is the silent party
and the noisy party. We are the noisy
party. Some persons might make as
atrong„an objection against the 'silents' as
others do against the noisies. •
"Religion is a thing of the heart, not
of the intellect. The sphere of God is in
the heart. A man may have religious
knowledge and know what is rightbut still
cling to the wrong. If a man feels he will
manifest his feeling. I have seen men sit
iu chureh like things of terra cotta, but it
is not for me to condemn them, nor they
me."
"We are uncultured in the art of sup-
pressing our feelings. When we are happy
we laugh."
EIGHT BURNED TO DEATH.
•••••••••
Disastrous Piro lit a Tenement House in
New York—Terrible Fight for tire.
A despatch from New York se.ysi—Eight
people were burned to death in a five -story
tenementhouse at 216 West 32nd street
early on Tuesday morning. All of those in
the front of the house escaped, but while
they were being rescued a tragedy was be-
ing enacted in the rear apartments of tho
second floor, where Nathan Friedman, a
furrier, was making a mad fight to save his
family and himself from death. He awoke
to fina his bedroom full of smoke, and
picking up Esther, the youngest of his three
children, Friedman made his way to the
hall door, The flames had reached that
floor and the fire drove him dazed and half
fainting from the intense heat to thetkitchem
He called his wife and bade her follow him,
but the woman became hysterical and did
not obey. Friedman made his way toe corner
window, near which a slender iron ladder
ran from the yard to the roof. He rapidly
descended this ladder, expecting his wife
Would follow, but hardly had he
reaChed the ground when he heard her

Friedman struck the bottom of the eellar

Rill and Joe.
Come, dear old. comrade, you anal
Will steal an hour from days gone by—
The shining -days whenva
life was no,
And all was bright as morning dew,—
The lusty days of long ago,
When you was Bill asia t was Joe.
Your name may flaunt a titled trail,
Proud as a cockerel's rainbow tail;
And 1521115 88 brief appendix wear
As Tam O'Shanter's luckless mare;
re; old friend, reraember still
That I am Joe and you are Bill.
You've won the great world's envied prize,
And grand you look in people's eyes,
With HON. amt LL.D.,
In big, brave letters, fair to
Your list, old. fellow! Off they gel
How are you, Bill? How are you, Joel
You've worn the judge's ermined robe;
You've taught your name to half the globe:
You've sung mankind a deathless strain;
'You've made the dead past live again;
The world niny call you what it will,
But you and I are joe and. Bill.
The chaffing young folks stare and say,
"See thee sld butter, bent and gray;
They talk like fellows in their teens!
Mad, poor old boys 1 that's what 83 means,"—
And shake their heads; they little know
The throbbing hearts of Bill and Joe.
How Bill forgets his hour of pride,
While .Toe sits smiling at his ado;
How-joe, in spite of time's disguise,
Finds the old schoolmate in his eyes,--
Those calm, stern eyes that molt and 1111

Ah, pensive scholar, what la fame? -
A fitful tongue of leaping name;
A giddy whirlwind's fickle gust,
That lirts &pinch of mortal dust:A few swift years and who can show
Which dust was Bill, and which was Joe!
The weary idol takes his stand.
Holds out his bruised: and aching hand,
While gaping thousands come and go,--
How vain it seems, this empty show!
Till all at once his pulses thrill,
'Tis poor old Joe's "God bless you, Bill!'
And shall we broth e in happier spheres
The names that pleased our mortal ears,—
In some sweet lull of harmony and song,
For earth -born spirit's none tee long,—
Just whispering of the world below.
Where this was Bill,.and that was Joel
No matter; while our home ie here
No sounding neme is half so dear;
When fades at length our lingering day,
Who cares what pompous tombstones sayl
Read Olathe hearts that love UR still,

To cherish a fragrant spot somewhere,

How could we live and not yield to despair,
Bereft of tbe garden of dreams
Tile fever of living, the pangs of care,
The hetes deferred, all the sorrows we bear,
Forgotten, are charmed to sleep in the air
Of the magical garden of dreams.
The eoveted things of life ate there.
In the tranquil garden of dreams ;
Instead of our one little life ot care,
There we live many Throe ideal and fair,
Great aims uplift ue, all things eve dare,
in tile magical garden of dreams.'

THE KIND-HEARTED MAN.
Ho Was „Deluded by His Syw.pathy fot
Beauty in DIstresals
A man had occasion to go the Union
depot yesterday afternoon to raeeb his wife,
who had been out in the country fora time.
When he got to the station he found his
train was half an hour late, and lbought
a paper and sat down on one a the
benches.
Not long after he had seated himself a
father pretty girl, who wore a pink waist
and had nice red oheeke and clear blue eyea
and who looked to be not over seven-
teen, came and sat dowo next to him. The
man who WAS waiting for his wife took a
casual look at the girl and went back to his
paper.
Pretty soon another pretty young girl,
wise also wore a piuk waist and had blue
tiyes and a fresh complexion end all that
sort of thing, came along and stopped. in
front of the first girl. The secoad pretty
girl looked as if she wanted to cry. She
said, with tremulous voiee "Why, Net-
tie, whil do you think'r The fare's a dol -
lair.
"A what ?" gasped Netties,
"A dollarl And she told us it was only
fifty dents, and I haven't got enough to get
the tickets; and, oh I doe, I don't know
what we will do."
She sank down beside Nettie and the twa
looked at the tiled fluor with very solemn
faces. - Presently Nettie looked up arid -
said : "I'll take a walk around the room.
Perhaps there is somebody here I know.'
She made the tour of the room and came
back with her face gloomier than ever.
"Nobody here I ever saw before," she said,
brokenly. 'The other girl sprang to her
feet. "I'm going to tell the ticket DIEU
Net how it is," she said. "Perhaps hi wil
take what we've got and let us send him'
the rest" She came back with tears in her
-eyes, "He won't," she said, sadly,
The man who was waiting for his wife
heard all of this, Hia heart was touched.
So he leaned over and said : "I beg para
don, but, ladies, I—that is—will you allow
me to help you in your hour of trouble V'
The pretty young girls etarted and look-
ed at the MAD with frightened airs. The
man hastened to reassure them that his
intentions were honorable, and, after many
protests and arranging for repayment and,
exchange a names and all that, he gave
the pretty girls $1.15, and tiler thanked
hini prettily and Went to get their alttin.
It so happened that the manse wife did
not dome on that train, and he went down
to another train in the evening. While
he wet sitting on a bench waiting for ,the
train he got to thinking of his afternoon
experienee, and conoloded that he had
done a right worthy act. Aahe was in the
midst of this train of thought a pretty
girl in a pink Waist eat down beside him.
Pretty /mon another girl, lookiug all woe-
begone, came along.. and said : " Why,
Nettie, What shall we do? The fare'ssa
dollar."
The man who was waiting for hie wife
got up aud walked elowly to the door. Lfe
had seen a great light. They were the
hams girla.
