Young Dacre was an Englishman, and he lived with another artist, a young American as poor as himself, just I t liiiul the Curch of San Martino, in one tit thf oldest houses of old Naples. So poor were they that they could hardiy rer afford a model, so they Used to take it in turns to sit to each other. Cecil J'rn ip ami his friend Orlando P. Jones vr-re both rival artists but Dacre had rti nlilitiuhal talent he was a farceur rf the first water. He hadn't been six rnohtlis in Naples before he attended In fnro the committee of Monte di Miseri cord i a and suggested that they should pay his debts. "I am poor," he 6aid, "I am persevering, and I am deeply in debt so deeply that I can get no more credit. Pay my debts, give me a little cash to go on with, and you, gentlemen, will be doing your duty. That is your rniwn d'etre." Brit the committee laughed and bowed Mr. Dacre out, declining to accede to this very modest proposition. On an other occasion Dacre, becoming indig nant at the pertinacious way in which his movements were watched by one of his neighbors, who was accustomed to stare at him from his balcony opposite, drove up to his door late one evening in a street cab. The cabman got down from his box, and a female figure wrapped in a cloak was carried carefully into the house by the artist and the cabman; the two men reappeared in the street, the artist mysteriously placed his fingers to his lips, paid the cab-driver, and the rr.an diove off. The little drama was well lighted by the solitary gas lamp that stood in front of the artist's lodg ings. The inquisitive neighbor vas at his post and carefully noted all the de tails of the mysterious affair. At noon the next day four officers, ac rompanied by the neighbor, presented themselves at Dacre's room doer and knocked loudly for admission in the name of the law. nly at the third and very impera tne summons was the door opened by Orlando P. Jones. The supposed crim inal was discovered seated at his little tul le, on which lay a blood-stained dagger ; his face was buried in his liamls. "Signor Dacre," said the chief of po lice, "I call upon you to surrender, and I demand to search your apartments. This gentleman," said he, pointing to the informer, "detected you last night conveying the body of a dead or insensi ble female into this house." "The informer, being an Italian, im mediately struck an attitude. ' I yield," said Dacre in a broken vmcp; t lie proofs of my crime you will find in the next room." Two of the agents advanced and ffixed the supposed murderer by the aims. '1 should recognize her at once," fried the informer. "The poor creature wore a dress of blight bine color; I saw tht filo of it from under the cloak in hii-lj she was enveloped." 1 lie bedroom door was flung open by the le.ider of the little party. In the center of the room was a lay figure in a Mght blue dress; it was standing on its head. The police instantly released their rip"ner. "Let this be a lesson to you, sir," said I 'acre to his too curious victim in a vi:e of thunder, "when you dare to in trude upon the privacy of gentlemen and men of honor." And then Messrs. Dacre and Jones executed a very ferocious pas de tri omphe. A less sublime but equally ridiculous joke was perpetrated by Dacre upon an unfortunate old lady who had the mis fortune to dwell upon the second floor of the great house of w hich the comrades occupied the sky parlors. She was a devotee, her one harm less amusement being the keeping of two immense gold fish in a big glass globe on her bahrony. With diabolical ingenuity Dacre, by means of a piece of string, a bent pin and a small piece of meat, angled for the two finny monsters who formed the joy of the old lady's life, caught them, fried them in egg and bread crumbs, and then restored them to their onca happy and transparent home. In the Cafe Verdi, Cecil Dacre once mlmly declared, after. a rather hilarious breakfast, that he would cause twenty innocent citizens of Naples to be arrest ed within the hour. The Cafe Verdi is, k we know, situated in the Piazza del Martiri. Dacre went out and purchased v large ball of string; he made a loop ia 2e WW? g&23 ! the Italians. Producing a hug note-1 book, he courteously raised his hat to' the nrst respectable bystander. ! "Signor"saidhe, "will you, greatly oblige me by holding this piece of string while I take a few measurements? thank you so much." And then with strides he commenced to pace the piazza. Of ourse a little crowd collected at once' Dacre selected another victim with- the same result. ''Keep it quite taut, if you please," and Me bowed politely. Within five minutes thirty individuals were holding the tightly stretched string, an immense crowd had assembled, Dacre had finished nil pacings, his string and the careful notes he had appeared to be making. "Be patient, gentlemen," he said, "I shall not detain you long." Then he disappeared, only to re-enter the Cafe Verdi by the back door to watch the re sult. He had chosen his time with considerable ingenuity, for he knew that the police patrol always arrived on the Piazza del Martiri punctually at noon. It wanted two minutes of the hour. Just at that time the peace of Naples was much disturbed by political demonstrations, which were severely put down by the authorities. The hour struck. Twenty policemen, headed by a sergeant, appeared upon the scene; of course they proceeded at Once to arrest the thirty, mysterious conspirators hti( were still innocently engaged in holding Dacre's string, Dacre and his friends watching the whole scene from the win-' dows of the Cafe Verdi with delighted merriment. j Bnt the master stroke of Dacre's in genuity was tho artfully arranged plan by which he obtained feloniously a sum of five pounds five sterling from Mr. Donald MacTaggart, of Leith. Mac Taggart was an ambitious young fellow of small talent, who had recently ar-, rived in Naples to study art. MacTaggart was well-to-do, excessive ly stingy, preternaturally ugly and pre posterously short. He was one of the "unco guid;' he wouldn't foregather with the other students, his ways were not their ways, and young Mr. Mac Taggart, of Leith, was shunned wheti hS WaS ndt made a butt of. MacTaggart had one grievance against Providence upon which ho constantly harped, it was his want of stature. It was this weakness of the young Scotch man's that the wily Cecil Dacre deter mined to take advantage of, and at the same time gratify his taste for practical joking. Cecil Dacre was in the want of xo very oaaiy maeea. lie was always in want of io, Dut the want at this partieu- lar time was more man usuauy urgent. One day the three young men met by accident in the Cafe Verdi. "That American doctor's a wonderful fellow," said Dacre, in a loud voice to his friend, Orlando P. Jones. ' "I won der whether he is a humbug?" Now MacTaggart was sitting at the table consuming a dish of macaroni with great gusto. "No, I don't think he's a humbug," said Jones; "they say he really does possess the secret of per manently diminishing or increasing the stature at will. I've noticed people who have been to him two or three times, and there was always an extraordinary difference in their height. It's very marvellous." McTaggart, who had drunk in the the conversation with greedy ear, now joined in with manifest interest. The two young fellows gave him a host of cir cumstancial details. "You ought to try him, McTaggart, at any rate," said the crafty Dacre. "Any change in your appearance, my Caledonian Apollo, would be a ben efit." "1 am thinking it would be very ex pensive, and I object to extravagance on principle," said the Scotchman. "Well, you could beat him down; now, at all events you could try," said Dacre. "Without a doot. I'll sleep on it," said McTaggart, and he paid for his breakfast and departed. It took the Scotchman a whole week to make up his frugal mind, and then he screwed up his courage to the stick ing point and informed Dacre that he should visit the American physician the next day. "D'ye ken where he lives, Mr. Dacre?' "Well, he lives in the same house as I do, on the first floor. He's a benevo lent old boy; you're 6ure to like him. Jones here 'knows him very well; the Yankees are almost as clannish as the Scotch, you know. You are sure to find him there at 3," and they parted. No sooner had the unfortunate Mc Taggart turned the corner than Cecil Dacre triumphantly executed a cellar flap breakdown, to the astonishment of the little crowd of Neapolitan bystand ers; then he bowed to his little audience, kissed his fingers to them, and started off as fast as his legs would carry him to his lodgings. The next day Cecil Dacro obtained the loan of his landlord's first floor for the day, and then he began to busy himself in a very extraordinary manner. He secured the services of the porter's wife nnd daughter, tho black eyed Pippa; they dusted, they arranged, and rearranged the big dismal reception room on the first floor. Dacre rushed out and borrowed a screen and pur chased a small bottle of turpentine; and then, in the bathroom, which opened from a little passage which was built in the corner where he laid the ecreen, he laid out at least half a dozen towels. Then he ran over to the oostumer's across the street and came back with a fur rot ds (tombrt a long gray beardj and GOLDSBORO, te-s2 u a those worn by the celebrated Dr. Faust in the first act of Gounod's opera. Pippa, her mother, and Dacre worked with a will, and the two women, with many gestures of astonishment from Pippa herself, took their departure, promising that everything should be ready punc tually at 3. Dacre ran up to the rooms of the medical student on the third floor and borrowed several of his largest and most professional looking books, which he placed in a row upon the writing table. Two gruesome looking anatomi cal preparations in spirit he also ob tained irom the Italian Bob Sawyer; with these and a human skull, procured from the same source, he decorated the mantel piece Then he put on the dress ing gowni the long gray beard, the velvet cap and the spectacles, and he looked a very tremendous specimen of a quack doctor. When the travestiment was complete, he went to the window and waited patiently for young Mr. MacTag gart. He was not kept long in suspense. The great bell of San Giovanni struck three, and punctual to the hour Mac Taggart appeared on the other side of the street. In the tnentltimfl Orlnndn P. .Tnnm nn his part had hot been idle, for he called upon at least a ddzen bf MacTaggftrt's friends and acquaintances, had a short interview with each, and he took his leave with each of the people he had so honored with a visit, laid his forefinger to the side of his nose and appeared considerably amused. As has been said, the bell of San Giovanni struck three. A rather timid khock sounded tipott the outer door of the first floor where Dacre was ly ing in wait. Dacre allowed it to be repeated, then he flung the door open suddenly. There stood MacTaggart. "Have I the honor of addressing the newly-arrived American physician?" he said. "Enter, my young friend," said he of the gray beard and green spectacles, in a loud but drawling voice. "Take a seat, inquiring strflnger, he continued, "and let me hear in what way I can be of use to you. You see before you.' he added, 4,the celebrated did Dr. Jacob Townsettd, a physician of world-wide celebrity & man, sir," he went ofl, "who has devoted rt long life1 prolonged by his Own skill far beyond the ordinary' human span, td the ahlelioratidn of the condition of the human face;" "I'm afraid I have CoWe td you on a fool's errand," said the patient Uneasily. "No man who consults me," said thfy doctor, "is guilty of an unwise act. I read your thoughts, young man," he continued severely; "my eagle eye de tects the working of your puny brain.' You are discontented with your stature.1 Say, is it not so?" The patient nodded. "Are you ready to submit to the treat-! ment, young man? Have you every confidence in me?" Tve every confidence, doctor," replied MacTaggart uneasily, "but I heard that your fees were high, and I thought, per haps, as I'm only an art student, ycrtt might consent to make a little reduc tion.'' 'lYoung man,'' said the physician in ah indignant tone, "do not trifle. Tho paltry honorarium I exact is but to5over the cost of the balsamic drugs used in the treatment of such cases; they have been procured from the deserts of Cen tral Asia, after the expenditure of much time, blood and treasure, but be assured, young man, that the trifle wrung from your parsimonious clutch will be im- mgdi&telv distributed difttely distributed by toe t9 the erviner pooh" ae6erving "And vou won t take ant tess?'' said MacTaggart, as he stretched out his re luctant hand and deposited five guineas upon the physician's table. "Is the pro-, cess very painful, doctor.'" he said. "There are two means of achieving the object," said the physician, who took no notice of the fee. "The one is pure ly mechanical; it is gradual extension; considerable physical rain has naturally tb be endured. The other course, which is equally efficacious and quite painless, is by means of a medicated bath, but no more than four inches increase in height can be obtained." "I shall be perfectly satisfied, doctor, with four inches." "Very good, young man, very good. You know your own business best. Ke tire behind that screen, divest yourself of vour apparel ; in a few moments all will be prepared. So powerful are the effects of the drugs, your clothing, were it exposed to the potent vapors, would be utterly destroyed. Strip, young man," said the doctor emphatically, ana he pointed to the screen. Mr. MacTaggart retired behind the1 screen, and did as he was bid. attd the venerable benefactor of the human rafee disappeared into the bathroom. The first thing that Dacre did was to empty his bottle of turpentine into the bath, and then he turned on the hot water till the bath was nearly full. "Are you prepared, young man ?" he cried in a loud voice, as he re-entered the reception room. "I'm quite ready, sir," 6aid Mr. Mao Taggart, from behind the screen. "I can smell the potent odors of the drugs, even here." "Don't trifle, boy," cried the Ameri can physician ; "take your watch with you, and proceed to the bath. You will find it very hot, and the odor of the East ern balsams is pungent; but do not let that deter you; enter it as speedily aa possible, for the hotter the bath the more rapid is the osseous change. Re main extended in that bath and perfect. y itilJ, and every five minutes 67 your N. C, THURSDAY, MAY 10, 1888. watch, and not more frequently oh anf account, let your head disappear be neath the balsamic film with which the surface of the water is covered. Do not speak, and breathe only through your nose. I will warn you when the process is complete." Mr, MacTaggart entered the bath room, with watch in hand. The odor of the Oriental balsams made him sneeze violently, the water was evidently very hot, and was covered by a thick oleagin ous film. But Mr. MacTaggart had paid his five guineas, and he was deter mined to have his money's worth. After a little time he entered the bath. Every five minutes his head disap peared beneath the steaming, oily sur face. In the meantime Cecil Dacre was not Idle. He rang the bell; Pippa and her mother appeared; the one carried a lit tle charcoal brazier and a flat-iron, the other ft very small Work-bag and a big pair of scissors. They laughed immod erately as they set to work upon the clothes of the young Scotchman. Three inches were cut off from th trousers' legs, the sleeves of the coat and of the shirt; Pippa's mother worked with a will with her needles to refashion the extrem ities of the garments, and as she finish ed each, Pippa herself carefully pressed the newly made seems with the hot flat irofi. Then the physician dismissed his two assistants, flung open the bathroom door and addressed the bather. "Come forth, young man," he said. "You entered that bath a miserable and rany specimen of humanity; you will eave it in all human probability, a well grown youth, ol prepossessing appear ance." Mr . MacTaggart did as he was bid. He dried himself to the best of his ability, but the balmy odors of the bal sams of the East still clung to his hair. No sooner was he dressed and had emerged from behind the screen than the mock doctor addressed him. "Young man," said he, and his voice was apparently momentarily choked by emotion, "behold the result of the won drous bath of Bokhara. There is a con siderable change, I think," he said solemnly. Mr. MacTaggart had evidenly grown ottt of his clothes; his arms and legs pro truded in a portentous manner. "Don't thank me," continued the American physician hurriedly; "don't thank me, but hasten home to bed to Sleep of the effects ot my potent medica ments." Mr. MaoTaggart bowed as gracefully E3 he could, and left the premises. Th6 teiy first person he met in the street was his acquaintance" Orlando P. Jones. MacTaggart's appedrflnee was sufficiently striking. His ordinary straight red hair was curly and extreme ly odoriferous from the effects of the turpentine. His face and hands were the color of a boiled lobster, and his eyes were bloodshot from the same cause. "Goodness me," said Jones, "I shouldn't have known you. What have you being doing to yourself ?" "Don't a k me,,r said MaoTaggart; "my happiness is too great for words," and his scarlet face was illuminated by a smile of celestial beatitude. Before he reached his own house he had at least met twenty of his acquaint ances. Each one interviewed him with & similar result. But the cup of happiness was rudely dashed from hia lips when his extremely plain and elderly sister, Miss Flora MacTaggart, on her arrival, addressed him in these indignant words: "Eh! Donald, man, is it fou ye are! or simply fatuous ? that ye have been making a Merry Andrew of yerseli by cutting dddn yer claithes." Ifl tftin the brother explained his visit to the doctor. Then the secret came out, and Mr. MacTaggart and his sister left Naples for Rome within the twenty-four hours. Belfjra via. After a Long Time. forty years ago Joseph Miles of Mil lerton, N. Y., married a neighbor's daughter and settled down td farming. He. got tired of this, and told his wife that he thought they'd better make a change. She objected, and, in fact, re fused to quit her old home. He said that she could do as she pleased, and that if ever she decided to live with him she'd be welcome, but he wouldn't re turn to Millertcn. So he left her and their boy. She made her home with her parents on their farm. The hus band fought through the war, then went to Sidney, N. Y., and began to make money. He acquired a snug little for tune but had no one to share it with. A friend who knew his Story went to Millerton, found Mrs. Miles living on the homestead with the boy, a mfln of 34 years, told her all about Josepbi and in duced her to consent to go to Sidney and join him. She didn't need much per suasion, and Joseph, too, was glad when he learned of the negotiations. The neighbors heard of .it, nnd the other night thronged to the railroad station to meet the train that brought Mrs. Mills. She didn't recognize Joseph, and he didn't know her; but after the introduc tion they seemed very happy, and have taken up wedded life where they laid it down thirty-two years ago. Chaska, the Sionx Bridegroom. Mary McHenry Cox writes: "Chaska, alias Samuel Campbell, the Indian who has gained so much notoriety by his marriage with Miss Cora Belle Fellows, at Big Bird's Camp, ne-r Fort Pierre, Dak., was a pupil of the Educational Home. He was admitted thero Dec. 11, 1884, and letnrnel home Feb. 15, 1886, on account of being threatened with consumption. He is a full blooded Sioux, about twenty-two years of age; tall and straight. He was not a bad young man, but, like all Indians, was not trained to work, though while at the Educational Home he learned the trade of house painter, and lefore he left was able to paint quite well. In ample jus tice to him we give it as our opinion that he can with proper training be made a useful citizen. We found him honest and willing to do all that was required of him." Philadelphia lAd'jtr. One of Lexingtan's society gentlemen consulted with me. "A young lady," be said, "has made me a proposal, this being leap year. I have promised to be her husband.

A private letter just received at Raleigh from Hon. Thomas J. Jarvis, Minister to Brazil, says: "My health is better than it was some months ago, but I am by no means as hearty and robust as I was when I was in North Carolina last spring." r A consultation was held in Raleigh by gentlemen of that city and other points, and it was the Unanimous opinion that the breeding of fine horses In North Carolina has assumed proportions which justifies and demands the formation of a State Breeders' Association. A call ia therefore issued for a meeting to be held in Raleigh on the 15th of May for the purpose of forming such association. News has been received at Raleigh of the suicide of James Davis, of Benton ville township, Johnston county. He was arrested on the charge of attempting to outrage his step daughter. He was tried before a magistrate and found guilty. He was ordered to be taken tb SmithCeld to jail. He asked permission to go to his house and was permitted to do so, a deputy sheriff accompanying him. On reaching the house he asked to be allowed to change his clothing. He went to his room, and in a minute the officer heard the rerjort of a rifle. Rushing into the room thn officer found that Davis had placed the muzzle of the gun under his chin and had pressed the trigger with his foot. The ball had passed through his brain and caused in stant death. BOUTn CAROLINA. Florence hopes to have the Southern shops of the Pullman Palace Car Com pany built there. John Hawkins, who robbed the post office at Newberry a month ago, was brought here from New Orlean, carried before United States Commissioner J. S. Rcid and admitted to bail in the sum of $2,000.
