A few weeks later, Pederewski and the lady met in Vienna, and in the course of the conversation she showed the musician the flattering bauble, telling him that she prized it more than all her other treasures put together. "But madame," said the divine ignece, running his fingers through hia golden mane, "I never eat cherries; the one you found on the mantlepiece must have been left there by my servant 1" For years Female have wondered how Queen Vitoria managed to keep track of all the royal birthdays and marriage anni- versaries, as Her Mai eety is always most prompt in remembering these events and sending suitable gifte.

A man who mated 4,000 horses, and some say 40,000, wrote irt the Bible, "A righteous man angarcleth the life of his beast," Sir Henry Lawrence's care of the horse was beau- tieully Christian. He says: "I expect we shall lose Conrad, triougb I have taken so ertuch care of him that he may eome in cool. I always walk him the loot four or five, milesi arid as I walk myself the first hour, it is only in the middle of the journee we get over the grotintl." The retro* Shep- herd in his matchless " Ambrosia Nights" epeolts of the maltreatment af tbe horse as praoticel blaephemy, I do not 'believe in the transmigration of souls, but C cannot very severely de- nounce the idea, for when I see men who cue and. bruise and back and well is called a prize, " The prize of the high calling of God ' Christ Jesus." So what is right in one direction is right in another direction. And without the prizes the horse's fleetness and. beauty and strength will never be fullY devel- oped. If it cost $1000 or $5000 or $10,- 000, and the result, be achieved, it is °beep. But the sin begins where the betting begins, fax that. is gtinehling, or the effort to gee tha,t for which you give no equivalent, and gambling, whe- ther on a iarge male, or a small scale, ought to be deuounced of men as it will be eccursed of God.

Among others invited were some German princes, who happened to be late in arriving, and, losing th eir way in the vast thronnsearched in ram for the royal party. At last their carriage reached one of the bridges spanning the Basingstoke Camelot each end of which a sentry was posted. "Sentry," seed one , of the princes, addressing the raw recruit from the west, "can you -tell me where I shall find the. Prince of Wales or the Duke of Cambridge ?" The sentrypondered a moment and then replied: , air; I don't know meself where they are, but if , you ask me churn he'll tell you,for he knows all the pubs about here."

Terrible trime or an Alaskan ;Adieu Prompted by a Medicine Man. VierourA, B, C., Oct, 3.—That "murder wili out" le wen illustrated in the cue of the Kake Indian named Ahf Ghat, who is now e,prisoner at Sitka,and whose case will be tried by Judge Truitt at that official's last term of courb before retirement, owe a despatch from Victoria, B.C. .Abf Ghat was appreberided &ix weeks ago by Deputy Marshal Harry Wahine In Wrangle for implication iu the murder of Iwo traders on Kate Island about three months ago. The Indian was well known to the authorities through his ability to atow away more whiskey than any other member of the tribe, and also on account; of his fighting proolivities when drunk. On account of past deeds of lawlessness officers had long been looking for him, but had only recently become aware of graver crimea the Indian bad committed other than those -with which he had already been charged. Almost EL year ago &young Kakegirl was cruelly murdered, sat* being starved and beaten uutil death came ea relief. It was several mouths afterward before 11 became known, and then it was an impossibility to locate the wretches who were responsible for the infamous crime. A short time ago one of the Kalses in the Sidra, prison -upon seeing a new prisoner arrive, and with whom he was apparently at enmity, told the guards WE TALE OP MOititet. Aboutsten months ago Ahf Ghat had been taken ao ill that a medicine man was called,. When the sick man's family had piled up a stack of twenty blankets the Shama condescended tobeginhiaweird incantations. At tbe conclusion of the performance) he informed the patient that he was a very sIck man, and that his aisttr was the cause of io declaring her to be a witch. The Kalses have no religious belief what- ever, but in the regard to witchcraft their Id Bahl are the same as those of many other Alaskan tribes. They believe an enemy can by meane of spells and charme work out evils, shape destinies, and finally destroy those they wish to,whichbelief is taughtand encouraged by the medicine men of the tribe. If any one is sick he, upon propriti- ation, at once declares some person to be the eause, and that person must either confess himself it witch and promise to cease working injury upon the patient or he is put to deatid The Indians are still in a state of utter barbarism, and hold to the old belief, "An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." Upon the sister being charged with sorcery she was at once brought before her brother and the Shaman. She wildly protested her innocence, and upon her adhering to it ehe was bound and severely beaten. Several days passecl,during which she was given no food, and only enough water to moisten her parched lips. Seeing her determined not to acknowledge hersely a witch and responsible for his illness, Ahf Ghat struggled from the pile of skins which bad constituted his bed and PLIWORDincKNIFE into the beart of his helpless victim. The Rakes know to fear, even of death. Neither do they understand suc.h feeling as remorse. They have always remained on theirdsland uumolested, making their own laws and administering them accord- ing to their own ideas of juatice. If the murderers now incarcerated in Sitka are hanged they freely say they will kill the same number of white men before they consider things even. That this last ad. dition to the imprisoned Kake contingent will stretch hemp there can be no doubt providing he doesn't die by his own hand be the mean time. Despite all official denials, the practice of the 'medicine art" prevaile throughout all Alaska, and scores of unfortunate natives have, even in the short space of one year, suffered hideous deaths upon the decree of the medicine man that they had practised sorcery. With the force at their disposal, the white authorities cannot, enforce the law as it should be—to teach the native population the lesson they must some time learn. The hope of the entire Territory is now fastened upon the estab. fiehinent of an American army post in the fax North. With soldiers at hand, such, murdere as those *of Alif Ghat' s ateeount would be less frequent. ' Good Enough.
