A Parisian Prisoner.
The end of all justice is or should be the
same, but the method of administration
differs greatly in civilized lands.
In the United States the judge lets the
district attorney and the prisoner’s counsel
do the talking, while he decides only on
the law of the case, and at other times
looks dignified and austere. In France,
however, the judge does much of the cross
questioning, and occasionally the passages
between himself and the prisoner are very
amusing, nor does he always get the best
of it.
Recently a vagrant was brought before
a Paris judge, when the following conver-
sation took place:
Judge—Prisoner, what were you doing
on the boulevard?
Prisoner—I was walking there.
Judge—How! At 2 o’clock in the
ing?
Prisoner—Exactly. I was walking, be-
ing too poor to ride.
Judge—But why were you out at that
hour?
Prisoner—It is a quiet hour. ’
Judge—Too quiec for honest men.
Prisoner—There is no article in the code
which says I may not walk in the boule-
vard at 2 o’clock in the morning.
Judge—Where do you live?
Prisoner—I decline to tell.
Judge—Why do you decline?
Prisoner—Because my many creditors
might learn and hunt me up.
Judge—One question more,
you do for a living?
Prisoner—Must I answer?
Judge—Yes.
Prisoner—I sell secondhand toothpicks.

A Tail of a Dog.
The following story is vouched for by a
gallant old officer now on the retired list,
but who before and after the war for se-
cession had spent many years among the
Indians in the far west.
About the time when chloroform was
coming into use the general, then a cap-
tain of cavalry, was stationed at Brent’s
Fort, on the Arkansas river, not far from
the site of the present city of Ryeblo.
There was a quantity of the arug then in
the fort medicine chest, and in order to in-
crease his influence over the superstitious
Indians the captain told them that he
could kill a man and then restore him to
life again.
On their shaking their heads in doubt
he proposed to try the experiment on one
of them. Of course they scowled a refusal,
and the Cheyenne chief, pointing to a
wolfish cur which he owned, said:
“Try on dog.”
“All right,” said the captain.
The dog was secured, and the captain
took it into a dark room and administered
chlorolorm. The dog was apparently dead,
and in this condition it was brought out
and exhibited to the astonished Indians.
In order to convince them that the dog
was really dead the captain cut off a short
piece of its tail and then applied nitrate of
silver to the wound to stop the bleeding.
Having beyond question killed the dog,
the next thing was to bring it to life. The
captain bore it back to the room and kept
it there until it had recovered from the in-
fluence of the chloroform, perhaps aiding
its revival by dashing cold water on its
face.
He then came back with the dog into
the compartment in which the Indians
were seated and placed it on the floor,
when with a wild yelp it flew between his
legs and darted out the door.
The Indians sprang to their feet with
a grunt of astonishment and followed in
pursuit, every one of them too much
alarmed to come back.
This was not the end of the affair. One
of the Indians in leaving carried with
him the severed piece of tail. Three years
afterward the captain was crossing the
plains with a small escort when he sud-
denly came in sight of a party of Indians
traveling in the opposite direction.
Each company ran to a little eminence
and scanned the other in order to find out
if they were friends or foes.
The matter continued in doubt till one
of the Indians raised his right arm, and in
the sign language indicated that he was a
good friend.
The captain advanced with his escort,
and as he drew near he noticed that the
Indian still waved something in his right
hand, as if it were a talisman.
On mingling with them the Indians
proved to be the Cheyennes who had vis-
ited Brent’s Fort at the time of the chloro-
form experiment, and the talisman which
the chief thought so potent proved to be
the dried tail of the dog.

A Red Day of Terror in Faris—How the
Mob of Sept. 2, 1792, SIew\Every Ec-
clesiastic Within the Walls of the Car-
melite Convent.
[Copyright, 1892, by American Press Associa-
tion.]
Among the historic buildings that were
the scene of one of the most horrible acts
of the red reign of terror in France and
which still remains intact is the Carmelite
convent. This place is now known as the
“Chapel of the Martyrs,” and the sight of
it reproduces to the imagination the fright-
ful scene of the massacre of Sept. 2, 1792.
Everywhere about this somber building
the shadow of death is felt. Still scratched
on the convent walls may be read tlie
words in which the caged priests, doomed
to the fury of the bloodthirsty mob, bade a
philosophic farewell to life.
After the mob, hoarse with shouting
their insane cries for vengeance .against
everything that represented law and order,
had slain every priest to be found in the
churches or streets of Paris, one of their
number, his arms dripping with the gore
of his victims, called out:
“There are no more left in sight; let us
go to the convent of the Carmelites!”
Infuriated with blood, they rushed
through the streets shouting:
“Vive la nation! Mort aux refractaires!”
The shouts of the mob smote the ears of
the old bishop of Arles, who at once called
the priests about him and led them in,
chanting a vesper hymn.
The mob broke down the iron gates as if
the bars were laths, and meeting the old
Abbe Salius he was instantly shot. With
a fortitude and self denial that speaks well
for their devotion to their superior, the
priests tried to divert the fury of the mob,
who were in search of the bishop, to them-
selves. One of them was asked if he was
not the bishop of Arles, but as he bowed
his head and made no reply the human
tiger who asked the question took it for
granted that he was, and plunged his red
sword into his heart.
At length the doomed bishop was found
and the leader of the crowd called out to
him:
“Are you not Bulan of Arles?”
“I am,” was the reply.
'“Ah, villain! It is you who have caused
to be shed the blood of so many patriots in
the city of Arles,” said the man.
“I have never done harm to any man,”
replied the bishop calmly.
“Well, I am going to harm you,” re-
joined the assassin, and he aimed with his
saber a blow at the venerable prelate’s
head. The first stroke fell short. The old
man did not move, but stood with hands
clasped and upraised face, as if in prayer.
A second blow was more effective, for it
stretched him lifeless on the earth.
The bishop had scarcely fallen before a
dozen ruffians leaped on the body. One
seized the golden crucifix and tore it from
his neck, and others took the watch and
purse and held them up with shouts like
trophies*1 of their sanguinary triumph.
Not Well Posted.
There is no class of men who love a joke
more than the clergy, nor do they hesitate
to tell it even at their own expense.
The Rev. George St. Tiger, vicar of Hast-
ings, recently deceased, was a man noted
for his eloquence, piety and keen' sense of
humor. He made it a point to get ac-
quainted with all his parishoners, rich and
poor, and so great was his memory that
once seen and spoken to he never forgot a
name or a face.
One Good Friday he noticed close up to
the front of his congregation a poor look-
ing old Woman whom he could not recall
ever having seen before.
While he was describing the Master’s
agony at the crucifixion the old woman
appeared to be profoundly moved, and as
he grew more eloquent she fairly sobbed
aloud.
Feeling that he had made an impression 1
on the old woman and hoping to improve
it, he hurried to her after the services were
over, and after shaking her hand he said:
“I am glad, my friend, that you liked the
sermon.”
Judge of his astonishment when the old
woman asked:
“Oh, sir, how could you go for to tell
sich an awful story?”
“But, my sister,” he replied in surprise,
“I told the truth.”
“And how long ago did you say it was,
sir?” <
“It was more than eighteen hundred and
fifty years ago.”
“So long as that?”
“Yes, quite as long as that.”
“Thank the Lord,” she responded, “it
was so long ago that it don’t consarn us.
And don’t you think, sir, that after all it’s
comfortin to think it mayn’t be true?”

So terminated one of the most frightful

grievance, are sure in their excess to mis-
take a cruel and murderous license for

THE MOB FELL UPON THEIR DEFENSELESS
VICTIMS.
While this dreadful scene was being
enacted in the main hall the remaining
clergymen rushed into the oratory. Ad-
dressing them in a calm voice, the Abbe
Deprez said:
“The end has come, my brothers; let us
die here at the foot of the cross!”
At these words all knelt down and be-
gan to utter the prayers for the dying. In
this position they were found by their
murderers. In a few minutes all were
slaughtered and the white pavement of the
chapel was covered inches deep with blood.
All this occurred in less than fifteen min-
utes.
During this slaughter a revolutionary
French officer came on the scene and tried
to stay the hands of the assassins.
“No, no!” shouted the leader of the
crowd. “There are others hiding in the
church and in the garden! Let us make
saints of them while our swords are still
hot!”
With their long pikes they prodded be-
hind the bushes, stabbed through the beds
with their swords, and shot three men to
death whom they found hiding behind the
altar.
In their wild hunt the mob reached the
choir loft, and here a shout of savage exul-
tation announced that the bloody searchers
had made a discovery.
The bishop of Saintes was in the loft, not
for the purpose of saving his life, but in
the hope of hiding from the fiends the
lives of some twenty youths who had been
preparing for the priesthood.
A man named Violette seated himself
on the organ stool and shouted out:
“Listen, all! I am a magistrate, and I
command that all these wretched culprits,
■who pretend to believe in God, be brought
before me for sentence!”
The mob fell in with the humor .of this
hideous burlesque on justice, and a dozen
red hands were laid on every wretched
prisoner.
“Pierre Louis de la Rochefoucauld!”
shouted the mock magistrate, and at once
the bishop of Saintes was dragged before
him.
“Do not tarry with me,” said the bishop.
“I only ask that you let me follow my
brothers, btit save these children,” point-
ing to the youths.
“No, no!” shouted the mock judge. “If
I spare them they will grow up to be
priests or bishops and to believe in God.
The day of liberty and reason has come.
Let them die together!”
With a wild* shout the bishop and the
boys were led down to the chapel and made
to stand before the blood spattered altar.
At a word of command from Violette, who
watched from the gallery, the mob fell
upon th^ir defenseless victims with their made so much noise I couldn’t hear a word,
