No one saw the incident. The obese gent himself didn’t see it, but he felt that some- thing had happened and that he had arrived at a crisis in his life. A pained, startled expression rested for a moment on his face ; then with a 10W, plaintive wail of heart-breaking agony he half rose from his chair and clapped his hand on his stomach. He struck the oyster, but that coy creature was one of the most alert and agile of its species. It at once changed its base on feeling the pressure, and shied upward and across the {at man’s wide expanse of palpi- tating bosom, leaving a trail of arctic {rigidity in its wake, and took up new quarters in his left armpit. With a wild howl of anguish the unhappy proprietor of the oyster leaped two feet in the air, uttered another yell like a wild West Indian, and commenced to work his arm after the manner of e bag-pipe musician. The oyster got excited and started again on its travels, but was apparently unable to select a permanent location. After making several blind rushes it halted for a moment under a short rib near the spine to catch its second wind. Yet. It Made Things Lively for a. Fat Man in a Chicago Restaurant. Last night a fat man, wearing a low- nacked shirt with a tum-down collar three sizes too large for him, sat down to a table in a Clark street restaurant and called for a plate of raw oysters. He got them cold and juicy right off the ice, and, harpooning s fat one with his fork, he lifted it toward his month. But the slippery, slimy, chilly bivalve dropped off the fork before reaching its destination, oarromed on the fat man's chin, and then slid down inside of his shirt and nestled on his breast.

A Montreal despatoh says: A farmer from the vicinity of. Lachute, cuunty of Argenteuil, relates the particulars of a desperate encounter which a settlcr‘s wife named Leblanc has just had with a large bear. Mr. Leblanc had left the house and his wife went into the back yard to hang out clothes, leaving a 6 months-old baby in the house in charge of another child between 8 and !) yeais of age. Suddenly the latter came running to his mother and cried, “There is a big dog in the house; come quirk or be will eat the baby.” At the same time a small dog which had been left inside began to bark at a fearful rate, and Mrs. Leblanc all at once suspected what was the matter, as bruin had been prowling about the neighborhood for some time pre- viously, and she immediately seized a small axe and male towards the house. Getting to the kitchen, she saw an enormous bear smelling around the cradle, but hearing the woman approach the animal arose on his hind legs, and while he attempted to destroy the woman, she slashed and cut right and left with the hatchet, which was the only weapon at her disposal. In the melee the cradle was overturned, and as the infant fell directly in the rear of the bear, it was seized by the elder child, who had followed his mother into the room, and the littleone was immediately carried upstairs out of harm’s way. Mrs. Leblanc now felt that her strength was giving out, and that if help did not soon arrive she should be forced to succumb. Bruin, with one ter- rible blow, sent the axe flying out of the terrifizd woman’s hand, and was about following it up with what would probably have proved a fatal bl IW when Mrs. Leblanc fainted and fell to the ground. The enraged animal’s paw was placed on the prostrate woman’s breast, when two heavy bulldogs, followed by their master, rushsdinto the house, attracted by the screams of the mother and children. The dogs by themselves were too many for, bruin, but a ball from her husband’s rifle } put an end to the vicious animal, and when 1 his body was examined as many as fifteen gashcs were found that had been inflicted by the heroic woman in her courageous and , successful attempt to save her child. The brave woman is doing well. i The following advertisement appeared in yesterday‘s Buffalo News: L DIATELY, by young lady of culture, re- finement and wealth, a gentleman who will marry her Within a week from date; cause: she is obliged to :50 west on business matters and owing to circumstances which she will 0‘, plain (family affairs) feels she cannot. go undo her own name; wishes it understood this is purely a businebs matter; will marry gentle- man at noon and take 3 o‘clock train from town ; gentleman will never see her again and end of year Souk divorce on ground of decartion ; mir uompeusatinn to gentlamrm for use of name at and of year; have but; guntlmuan and those considering this entire-1y a bushings transaction need apply.

All the party arrived at Bagamoyo at 11 o’clock yesterday morning. Major Wies- mann had rovided horses for Stanley and Emin, andp upon them they made a tri- umphal entry into Bagamoyo. The town was profusely decorated, verdant arches were built across all the avenues, and palm branches waved from every window. A salute of nine guns was fired by Major Wiesmann’s force, and the same number by the German manâ€"ol-war. All the officers of the expedition were sumptuously entertained at luncheon at Major Wies- mann's headquarters. The captain of the Sperber, on behalf of the Emperor of Ger- many, welcomed first Stanley, then Emin, and congratulated them upon their return to civilization. All the vessels in the roadstead were dressed in bunting. Many persons arrived here to-day from Zanzibar, among them being Nichol, who came on behalf of Sir William McKinnon, President of the Emin Pasha Relief Com- mittee; the English Consul, Mr. Churchill ; Judge Gracknell, of the English court, and the German and Italian Consuls. In the evenings banquet was held, and amid a flood of champagne the German Consul, General Steifensand, toasted the Queen of England, and Major \Vissmann toasted Stanley, calling him his mast-er in African exploration. Stanley, in reply, said he thanked God he had performed his duty. He spoke with emotion of his soldiers whose bones were bleaching in the forest, and remarked that with him and those 01 his party work was always onward. Ho bore testimony to the Divine influence that had guided him in his work. Then he said, “ Emin is here, Casita is here, I am here, and all the young gentlemen who went with me are here," and conclu led by thanking Major Wissmann and the Herald for their kindness in sendingY him stores. Emin Pasha toasted the Emperor oi Ger- many and Major Stairs returned thanks for Stanlay’s officers. Captain Bracken- bury, senior naval officer, toasted Major Wissmann. This toast was drunk With honors, the whole company joining in sing» ing, “For he’s a Jolly Good Fellow.” Stanley and his men will arrive here to- morrow by the Sperher, which has been specially placed at his disposal by the Emperor of Germany. Emin‘s people will ‘ come over in a British man-of-war. ‘ TERRIBLE ACCIDENT TO EMIN I’ASIIA. Emin Pasha appears to be utterly inoap~ l able oi shaking off the ill-luck which has pursued him for years. He is near sighted, and walked out of a window late tonight and fractured his skull. He misjudged the height of a balcony parapet, overbalancei himself and fell twenty feet. When found his right eye was closed and blood issuing from his ears. His body is terribly bruised. At this moment he is lying in a most critical state at Bagamoyo. All the doctors have given him up except Stanley’s physi- cian, Dr Parke, who remains with him and says he thinks he ‘may save him. Under the most favorable circumstances he cannot be moved for ten days. He is receiving every care and attention from Wissmann and his officers. Her Majesty’s ship Somalia, Capt. Fraser, has been courteouer placed at my disposal to convey men to Zanzibar. All of them who have stuck to me will arrive here to-morrow.

The following thrilling despatoh from Mysore, in India, conveyed the first news of an exciting event which came within an ace of diverting the succession to the British crown, for Prince Albert Victor, who is nowin India, is the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. Since the arrival of the young prince and his suite the greatest gaiety has prevailed in garrison and official circles here. A number of fetes of oriental splendor have been projected, reviews have been held, and the young prince, who rides well, has been much admired. Yesterday morning he rode over to the palace of 111: titular rajah to see the herding of the elephants, many of which are of great sin}. The prince had dismounted and advanced with a number of officers to get a closer view of the mighty animals as they were driven into the enclosure. One of the num- ber of the grcat beasts became unruly, and esoeping from the drivers charged directly upon the prince, who was standing apart from the rest. The prince was nearest to the elephant and did not at first see his imminent danger. A shout from behind warned him : " Run! run l" they cried. It seemed too late, for the trumpeting terror was scarcely four yards away. At this juncture Colonel Sanderson sprang forward, waving his arms, and darted be- tween the Prinoe and the elephant This brave aot disconcerted the beast for a moment, and he swerved in the direuticu of the colonel. The Prince, now-thorough] frightened, turned and ran like a hare in the direction of the grand stand, where he finally found rcfnge. Colonel Sanderson escaped by a miracle. Wnon this news was made known in London the greatest excitement prevailed over the narrowness of the escape of the heir presumptive. SJme p”op19 pretended to look on it as l more than. an. accidental incident, recalling the mysterious rumor which was circulated shortly after the young Prince started fur India, namely, that he would never return alive. This grew out of the report, um founded it is believed, that the young men was implicated in the nameless horrors of. the CleVelsnd street house hear Cavendish square. TWO of his household were in- Voived in it, and they have been dismissed The rumor that the Prince was damned to lifelong exile in India or a sudden dam]: there from tigers or elephants was sup- posed to represent a Spartan determinatiOu on the part of the Prince of Wales never to look on his son again. It is not true. The young Prince is to return in March.

AN HEIR TO A THRONE A Chicago dospatch of last (Thursday) night says: When the court was oallsd to order for the further hearing in the Cronin case Mr. William Hynes, of counsel for the prosecution, took up the irgument to the jury. He arrayed facts to show that the line of defence had been organized before the murder was committed. There was evidence of that in Beggs‘ decliration that Cronin would turn up; in the sending of despatches to the effect that Cronin had been seen i1 Canada, and this defence was only thwarted by the discovery of Cro iin‘s body, which had not been bestowed ac cording to the programme. In thapre- sence of his dead body it cool! not be claimed that he had gone to England to testify as a. British spy against Parnell. But counsel for the defence even con- tested the i lentification of the body until Dr. Cronin’s clothes and his instruments were found. Then for the first time they admitted that the indentification was complete. THE DISCOVERY BPOILED THE DEFENCE. If the clothes had not been found per- haps the persons who sent the despatches would have been put upon the stand to testify that they had seen Dr. Cronin alive after May 4th, and so the defence had been reduced to the claim that it had not been proven that Dr. Cronin died of the wounds inflicted. The speaker reviewed the evidence of the medical experts to show that their evidence sustained the statement that he died of the wounds on his head. Then fol- lowed a review of the experts’ testimony as to the blood stains. Mr. Hynes next took up the alibi evidence in O‘Sullivan's case, and proceeded to show inconsistencies in it. He then said it was not necessary to claim that O’Sullivan was in the cottage when the fatal blows were struck ; in fact, it was better that he should not be seen by Cronin on his arrival there, for Cronin had been told that he was out of town. Mr. Hynes then analyzed the evidence concerning the time when the Hylands tes- tified that they drank with O‘Sullivan in Niemann's saloon, and drew the conclusion that it could not have been on the night following the murder. coucnms’s ALIBI. The speaker next turned his attention to Coughlin, saying that not only did Nie- mann swear that he drank with O‘Sullivan that night, but also that he was seen in that neighborhood by an ac {uaintance that afternoon. Both agreed that he wore a Prince Albert coat. Mertes, the milkman, saw the man at the Carlson cot- tage whom he believed to be Coughlin. But it made no difference whether Coughlin or O‘Sulliva'i was ever at the cottage, or whether either struck a blow, the gravamen was the conspiracy to murder. Mr. Hynes analyzed the alibi testimony for Coughlin given by his brother policemen, saying it was strange they should keep their know ledge to themse'ves till they came upon the witness stand. and noting that putting all their evidence together Conghlin stood immovable before the station fortwc hours. Then he took up the matter of the man Smith, who drove the white horse, and declared that Coughlin allowed the man to get away, and gaveafalse description of him to Captain Schaack, If the story about Smith, that he came from Hancock, Mich, was true, why was he not put on the stand ? Mr. Hynes said no one, unless he was the veriest car, would remain con- cealed when a man's. kindness to him placed that man under acousaticn of this * awful crime. Mr. Donohoe then read from legal works a definition of the term “ reasonable doubt," and a number of decisions touch- ing circumstantial evidence. Taking up the question of O‘Sullivan’s contract with Cronin, the speaker read decisions touching criminal intention This was to show that this circumstance could not be turned against O‘Sullivan, because it had not been proved that O‘Sullivan’s inton. tion was to use this contract to bring about Cronin’s death. O'Sullivan, said Mr. Donahoe, had no motive to commit this crime; he was not at odds with Cronin; Cronin never did anything to harm him; the absence of a motive must be taken into the account when making up the judgment. The contract was made openly and O’Snllivan freely confessed it, and told all about it to whoever asked, even after the murder. Mr. Donahoe paid mock compliments to the New York Herald correspondent Clancy, saying Clancy had over-acted the part when he imitated on the stand the trembling and nervous hesitancy of O’Sullivan when Clancy urged him to go to the station to identify Oronin’s body. The speaker argued that nervous- ness and hesitancy were no evidence of crime. They were merely matters of temperament. Two or three times during his speech Mr. Donahue referred to Mr. Hynes, of the prosecution, in denuncintory or sarcas- tic tarms‘ Mr. Hynes speaks next on |he side of the State. Mr. Donahoe then took up the case of O‘Sullivan and discusued the alibi evidence from various points of view, drawing the conclusion that it was incontestibly proved that O‘Sulliven could have had nothing to do with the murder. The speaker then re- curred to thecaee of Knnze, pointing out as evidence of his innocence the fact that though he anticipated arrest he did not run away, and decliring that it was not shown that Knnze knew any of the defendants except Coughlin and O'Sullivan prior to the murder. R::viewing the circumstantial eviaenco against Kunze, Mr. Hynes outlined the be- iicf of the prosecution that Kunze hal a. guilty knowledge of the conspimcy, but took no active part in the tragvdyc Mr. Hynes spoke of the lonely situation of the Carlson cottage, and said that to oonngct any one with entering it Within. a Week of the murder. either before or after, was to connect him with the crime. Concerning the knives found in Conghlin’s poasesaion, Mr. Hynee expressed the opinion that Coughlin did not suppose he would be arreeted, and thought his pocket was a. safe place to hide them in. There was only one chance in a million that any man would A Chicago despatch of Wednesday says: Wne n Judge McGonnell’s court opened this morning Mr. Donahoe, counsel for O’Sul- liven and Kunzeh began his address to the jury. He first took up Kunze‘e (use, arguing there was no apparent reason why he should conegire to 11111 Cronin, and that the identifications of him were incomplete and indefinite. Mr. Hynes Shows How They Spoiled a Pre-arramzed Defence‘ A GREAT JAM AT COURT. ORONIN ’S CLOTHES. RUNZE’S CHANCES In a deeply impressive conclusion Mr. Hynes asked the jury for a. verdict of their conscience, a verdict their judgment would approve, the court ratify, and God sanctify, to vindicate the law and commit the guilty to a just punishment. DEGGSI LAWYER SPEAKS. Mr; Foster then addressed the jury on behalf of John F. Beggs. He denounced the murder of Cronin as the 111 3st atrocious and cold-blooded ever perpetrated, but warned the jury not to let an innocent man suffer for it. Mr. Foster protested against the prosecution in this (use, and the spirit which engendered it. He said : “ No sooner was there an arrest made on account of this murder than war was declared by what had been termed the opposing camps in Chicago,‘ War to the knife, and the knife to the hilt.’ It has been kept up in- cessantly from that time to this. Not satisfied with the provisions of the statute, with the ability of the State Attorney and all his assistants, they must engage three or four of the most able c )unsel in Chicago â€"men whom ability to sway juries by their eloquence is well knownâ€"to assist them in this case.” After an eloquent l description of the prosp;r.ty of Ireland a ‘ century ago, and a vivid picture of its ‘ present condirvion under the “ insatiable1 greed of the English lain ilord,” Mr. Foster l asked if it was any wonder that Irishman j in this country organizzd to benefit their native land. He then read a few lines of, the speech delivered at Indianapolis during l the last campaign by Boggs, and a few 1 lines of the response which President ‘ Harrison made, “ That shows,” said he, “ what the President thinks upon the ques- tion of the loyalty of the Irish people in America.” Mr Foster then stated he had a very unpleasant duty to perform, because of certain expressions of his client during the life of a man whose soul is now in eternity. He said: “ The man who supposes or has supposed that Dr. Cronin while here upon eath was an angel in disguise is very much mistaken. Whether or not this Clan na- Gael is an evil organimtion, whose pur- pose was to send dynamite to England, the most active member in furthering the object of that society, whatever it was, was Dr. Cronin." The State Attorney objected to this,_and said he wanted to prove that Cronin was expelled beeauae be exposed the dynamite policy, and that he was opposing this policy at the time the ciroular Was issued. Mr. Foster said the action of Begge from the beginning of the trial had been an open book to the jury. He had nothing to conceal and had concealed nothing, and he himself told Judge Longenecker of the letters .which passed between him and Spellman. It was in evidence that Begge had sail Cronin had 11) business to be on the committee to try the triangle. Begg admitted it, and it was true. Cronin was prejudiced against Alex. Sullivan, who had caused his expulsion from the order. Cronin was an agitator, an organizer of rival camps, and had publicly denounced the triangle. Yet he was s :lected to act in the triple capacity of witness, counsel and judge to try the triangle. If Beggs is acquitted or given oulya short term of imprisonment. it will be mainly owing to the skilful manner in which his case has been handled. Mr. Foster has favorably impressed the jury from the start with Begge’ innocence, re- moved the prejudice which existed against his client, and conducted himself in court in the most exemplary manner. Mr. W. S.Forfeat 'ia sick at home and will not be able to follow Mr. Foster to- morrow. Allowing three days for the addresses of Messrs. Forrest and Mills, the trial willnot be at an end until next Thursday, unless the jury should remain out longer than is expected._ Yesterday was “society day” at the Cronin murder trial. Women of fashion and social prominence, bedeoked in dis.- monds and seslskins, touched shoulders with Clan-na-Geel sympxthizers in the common scramble to reach the objective point, Judge MoGonnr l’s court room Prominent citizens and bu-iness men took a. day off, and many were sorry they did. for hundreds of people were 19ft on the sidewalk when the court opened in the morning and afternoon.

Did the horror of that scene ever stir his soul to one moment of repentance, to make a clean breast of it as the last refuge of a guilty soul?" Mr. Hynes sacred Burke‘s flight and triangle of aliases in honor of the triangle whom he was serving; denounced war on defenseless men and women in Great Britain, and charged upon the triangle the sending of dupes into English prisons that embezzlements might be con- cealed.

It is printed in several colors. according to the denominationâ€"Youth’s Companion. To this generation, which considers the postage stamp almost as much a. necessity of life as food or raiment, it seems hard to believe that forty years have not yet gone by since postage stamps came into general nae in Europe and the United States. No doubtthie new baby stamp of Spain will be sought for, at least for a time, by thousands of stamp collectors for its novelty. It is quite sure, however, to be- come common. But within a few years Don Alfonso, growing so old that he may fairly claim to be “quite a big boy," will neefl a new postage stamp ; and then, per- haps, another and another still before he has become a man. So that people who preserve these stamps will possess a record in postage stamps of a young king’s growth from babyhood to manhood. The four-inâ€"hand is growing in favor and in Width.

Lettere which have recently arrived from Spain have borne a new postage stamp. marked with the effigy of the King of Spain, Don Alfonzo XIII. The fact in it- self is nothing at all remarkable, since the poztage stamps of every monarohical coun- try bear the portrait of its monarch. But the fact: that the King is less than 4 years 01 1, having been born May 17th, 1886, and the further fact that the. stamps of the kingdom have been marked with his effigy but a short time, makes the circumstance an interesting one. Never before, we be- lieve, has a postage stamp borne the por- trait of a baby monarch. There have been many child potentatee, but Don Alfonzo XIII. is the first baby who has reigned over a European country since the introduction of the use of postage stamps. m,u,: .- The lighter woads of thistle, ash and oak are successfully treated with ornate decora- tions in silver, and many artistic walking stick examples are thus secured.

Artificial waterways are so far from having gone out of fashion that thirty- seven ship canals are now under any or are contemplated in different parts of the world, besides the sixteen already in exist- v ones. That from Manchester to the Mersey, which has been described in the Courier, will be opened in 1891. It is proposed to enlarge the old canal from the Clyde to the Forth from its present depth of nine feet to a depth permitting the passage of the largest vessels. Another canal across Great Britain is proposed between the Tyne and Solway Firth, and one across Ireland between Galway and Dublin. 0n the continent a canal is in process of con- struction across Holstein which will cut off the passage around Denmark, and others are talked of to connect Brussels, Brnges and Paris, respectively, with the sea. One is proposed across Italy, and a great scheme contemplates the construction of one to connect the Oder and Danube, and a short one between the Don and the Volga, thns connecting the Baltic Sea with the Caspian. Canals are suggested across France, cutting off the passage around Spain ; from Acre to the Jordan Valley and thence to the Red Sea ; and from Antioch to the Euphrates, and thence to the Tigris. A canal originally begun by Nero will soon be opened across Greece, and Lesseps has obtained a concession to construct one across the Isthmus of Malacca. In the United States a ship canal is under way across Cape Cod, and others are contem- plated tc connect the Delaware and New York Bay and the Delaware and Chesa- peake bays. Acharter has been granted for one across Florida. They Bear the Portrait; of the Baby King.

SYANIS El POSTAGE STAMPS. A Present For a Husband. Fashions for Men. " When Mr. Gladstone rose to speak, his frame, which is almost massive, seemed to defy the inclemenoy of the place. When he commenced speaking he grasped the lapels of his coat in an awkward manner, and hesitated more than you would expect in such a veteran of parliamentary debate. But as he grew more earnest, all appear- ance of awkwardness passed away, there was no delay for choice of words, and the audience listened spell-bound. He had a peculiar way of drawing back the corners of his month just before beginning to speak, as if he were trying to get a purchase upon the sentence he was commencing. When- ever he made a humorous point the smile would linger on his face but for a moment. He spoke with intense, almost fierce earnestness throughout the address, and during the hour and a half that he talked there was no sign of breaking in his voice, which was remarkably clear for a man of his age.” St. Andrew's University, called by the London News “ the oldest and most inter- eating and poorest of Scotch Universities,” has received s. legacy of £100,000 from an old graduate.

In fact, John left his bountiful mother a. round quarter of 3. mil- lion, but his generosity was tempered by his brother, to whom he gave the power of modifying the gift. Hitherto the profes- sors of St. Andrew's have been poorly paid, and it has even been hintedâ€"but this is probably a little humorous exaggerationâ€" thot they have been paid partly in stringy fowls It is to be hoped that as the " plain living” improves the “high thinking " will not sulfa: a decline.

How the ” Grand Old Man ” Impressed a New Yorker. ANew Yorker thus describes his first glimpse of Gladstone: “ On a raw after- noon late in Ootober I was standing on a street corner in the little village of Saltney, a suburb of Chester, with several hundred men, women and children, all of whom were looking up the long avenue that led to the city. The houses were decorated with bunting, and across the street hung a banner, “ Welcome to Saltney.” A shout suddenly went up from the crowd as a car- iriage with a single horse appeared at the end of the avenue. ‘ “ The top of the carriage was thrown back, and in the back seat, alone, sat Gladstone, who had come to this place to perform the ‘ neighborly duty ’ of opening a free library for workingmen. With his hat in his hand, the venerable statesman was bowing and smiling to every one. The first thing that struck me was the koan, quick glance of his eye, which seemed to take in everything. As he stepped from the carriage Iwas surprised to see how ereot he stood, with what vigor he walked to the committee rooms. ” Yes,” was the reply, “ if it's cold weath- er and the Scotch is hot enough.” “ The pudding is not very good.” “ Ah, but we can afford to ignore the pudding when we consider the sauce.” â€"A stove pipe out at the elbows often causes a great deal of trouble. â€"“The good die young " applies most em- phatically to chickens.
