He was tried with others and acqaitted on the charge of bnrnjES tho steamboat Martha Wash ington to ! secure .insurance, and after Ward was sent to the penitentiary for a large bank forgery : Into the Walker Nioaragua expedi tion, made up for the most part of "men of strong character, tired of the hum drum of common life and ready for a career which might bring them the sweets of adventure or the rewards of fame," Kissane now, on coming out of tho penitentiary, threw himself "with all the abandon of his daring nature. He ar ' rived at Nioaragua Feb. 1, 1856. Un der an assumed name he was soon ap pointed 'and commissioned assistant commanding general,, with the rank of turgor, and ordered to take charge of the commissariat of the army. He showed such ability that Walker soon promoted him. For eight or nine months lie had the entire finances of the country in his hands, and but for his careful manage ment the filibustering scheme, it is con ceded, would have met an earlier de feat: j-.' :'. When General Walker marched to Kivas, ha left Granada, in charge of Kisiiane. ITho latter made sodden sallies on the neighboring haciendas, and, cap turing the wives and daughters of prom inent Kicaraguans, held them as hos 'trtges to be'exchanged for money or pro visions. Ho is repnted to have made a fortune in the sale of confiscated hacien das and vouc'uera. Under his direction cathedrals and convents and private dwellings were pillaged of gold, silver and jewels. The plunder, which filled six large cedar chests, was melted, packed in small bulk and shipped to New Orleans. Robed in priestly vest ments and carrying the holy eucharist, Kissane Jed a triumphant procession through the streets of Granada. His au dacity and bravery won him devoted followers. Few, if any, of bis compan ions in arms suspected his early history j Nevertheless the tropics did not shield him wholly from memory of the past. Recoguiziug in one of the yonthful fol lowers of the army the son of a man who had: testified against him in the Martha Washington case, Kissane had the5 young man arrested' on some trumped; up charge and shot down in cold blood. : At the collapse of the expedition Kis sane caused to be published in the pa pers accounts of the heroic death of .'himself under his new name.

I ; of Constantinople, a . Such men as the bludgeon men one does not often see in the streets of Con stantinople. Of the betterclassof Turks there vere ' none among them. They were of a class like the wharf rats and longshoremen of western lands. They were of all shades of color, from the white skinned Laz and Circassian to the brown and hook nosed Kurd and the coal black Nubian from Africa. , Their faces were a study of fearful passions. There were faces seamed and scarred like the head of a fighting bulldog ; faces distorted by malice and greed; faces seared as by fire, case hardened in ig norance of all except vice and ferocious as an angry tiger. Some of those faces burned their way into my memory and remained for days, a haunting revela tion of brutal iustincts and. beastly de sires whiob made one wonder how it was possible to have lived in safety for weeks in a city containing such men. These men Were not armed, in the common sense of the word. Some of them ; had revolvers, and the most of them had knjves. But they seldom used either, for awkward questions might be raised if the police were nailed to ac count for failing .to arrest armed civil ians on' the streets. Carrying ax helves, pickax handles, heavy clubs, like base ball bats; jagged fragments of broken Bcantling carrying anything that can crush the skull of man this horrible rabble flooded the streets of all Chris tian quarters of the city, like an all des olating tidal wave, silent but Irresisti ble. Their silence by day was almost as terrible as their howls by; night , They would be seen going along the street, when they would meet an Armenian who had ventured to attempt to reaoh his home. Without a word they would break in his skull and go on their way, entirely unmoved and hardly having spoken a loud word. If resistance was offered, theyj had only to say, "The Giaours resist!" and a horde of their fellows would come 'running from all directions to destroy one who had prov ed his seditions quality by daring, to re sist J a Mussulman.

Sbowod Signs of lVevtty Experience of , DSisslouarlos In India. -; t ' The most . singular audience that I ever saw gathered to listen to preaching was an audience of monkeys, says an India correspondent of the Boston Gold u Knle. .: : f::-: --O . -siV; When I commenced work in the re gion which I have now occupied for more than 30 years, I asked two fellow missionaries to join me iu a preaching tour in tie adjacent taluk, or county. We first went'Witb three native assist ants to the tajnk town, or county seat. Oar tents were pitched in a grove ad joining ' the town. We usually on onr tours went tvroand two to preach irTthe villages ; hut, this being the ialak toWn, and the first of our preaching the gospel in that region, we went' ia a body into the native city. Walking through the cloth, spice, grain aud iron merchants' bazaar streets, and then thronga the goldsmith and silversmiths' street, around through the temple street, and then through the street of Brahman residences, to adver tise our presence and incite curiosity to know whnt wo were about, j we finally took onr stand in the Brahman street, and all joined in singing one of the beautiful Teluga Christian lyrics and gathered an audience of interested lis teners. We stood upon a little raised platform on one side of the street against the house walls. The houses were all of one story, joined together like a city block, with flat roofs and a low parapet along the front of the roof. One of our native assistants road a portion from the gos pels, aud another preached briefly ; then one of my fellow missionaries followed, preaching more at length, while I watched the audience, to study the coun tenances of -the people among whom I expected to work. . I had noticed that behind the houses on tho opposite side of the Btreet there was a long row of trees growing in their bacii yards,- the branches of which stretched out over the flat roofs. Chancing to raise my eyes, I noticed many branches of these trees beginning to bend downward toward the roofs and saw the faces of some old jack monkeys peering out through the foliage. Soon somo of th'eui jumped, down and came forward to see what their "big broth ers'" in the street were about, as : they stood gazing so intently at these white men standing on the platform. Spring ing upon the parapet, they seated them selves, with their hind feet hanging oyer in front, and gazing with fixedness at the preacher, as they saw the people in the street doing. , r Other monkeys followed, until there was a long row of them thus seated on the parapet ; The late comers I could see walking along behind the parapet, look ing for a' place wide enough to get a seat Failing to find a wide enough place between two already seated mon keys, they would put up their hands, and, pushing each one sidewise, would seem to be saying, "Sit along- a little, please, and give a fellow a Boat," until the "bench" was crowded. The audience in the street, standing with-their backs toward that row of houses, did not notice the monkeys, and so their attention was not distracted by them. . i j : I had noticed that many mother mon keys had brought their babies to church with them. These little baby monkeys sat upon the thigh of the mother, while her hand was placed around them in a very human fashion, but the sermon was evidently ton high for these little folks to comprehend. Glancing up, I saw one of the little monkeys cautiously reach his tend around, and, catching hold of another baby monkey's tail, give it a pull. The other Jittle monkey struck back, but each mother monkey evidently disapproved of this levity in church, and each gave its own baby a box on the ears, as though saying; "Sit down I Don't yon know liow to behave in church?" The little monkeys, thus reprimanded, turned the' most solemn faces toward the preacher and seemed to listen intently to what he was saying. With the exception of a1 monkey now and then trying to catch a1 flea that was biting him in some -tender, spot, they thus sat demurejy until the preacher finished his sermon and until we had distributed gospels and tracts among the audience and bad started for our tents. Our "celestial audienceL" seeing our "terrestrial audienoe" dispersing, then,! and not until then, left their Beats and demurely walked back anil sprang upon ' the branches) ' again. Th ere were no "monkey capers" as the went. They were as serious as a congregation leav ing a church and sat upon the branches in a meditative mood as though think-: ing over what they had heard the preach er say. And thus we left onr unique monkey audience. .,'. " ; 4 - j : ; 4- . ,-): . f Sanitation In Asia. , j The appearance of plague at Bombay and Calcutta . has produced one good effect at all events. Before its advent those prosperous cities had come to be lieve that they had nothing to learn in regard to sanitation. There was a time when they were open to reproach in such matters as open sewers, polluted water, and what not. But by dint of liberal expenditure of money and energy they had made matters right and could even challenge comparison with Paris, Berlin and Vienna. When, however, the awful eastern scourge, after striking firm root at ' the western . capital, flew aoross the peninsula to the eastern, the public became a little doubtful as to whether sanitary precautions had been duly observed. First came inquiry, then dismay, indignation, wrath, as discov-. eryfojlowed discoSrery, each more ap palling than the last We refrain from giving particulars. Even to read these horrors is sickening. But a still more terrible question presents itself. If the two most cultured and wealthiest cities in Hindustan are in this dreadful con dition, what must be the state of less favored centers cf population in districts where there are few whites and many blacks?. Were the plague- to penetrate inland, it would, we fear, find many towns only too ready for its reception. London Graphic ' h Tbe Weddlns King;. '' i The associations called up by a wed ding ring are very touching, and it is the last thing that, even the poorest wife will part with. If it ever was consider ed a budge of servitude, it now is much more Eugge-stive of queeuship and sov ereignty. Au old Latin writer thus de scribes the ring: It is circular, because the mutual love and hearty affection of matrimony should be forever, their continuity remaining as unbroken as the circlet itself. It is an old and ex ploded notion that the ring is placed upon the fourth finger because a small artery connects with the heart 1 Ihe real reason probably is that the left hand is not used as much as the right and the fourth finger less than the other fingers. - - , The common oocklebnr of the coun try is simply the seed case of a plant , Its thorny hooks give it a hold upon fur or wool bearing animals or upon the clothes of men, and thus cause it to be transported to cqnsiderable distanoes.

Western trade and com merce had no more liberal or intel lieent natron thnn this same shah Persia lost a liberal ruler when the assassin's bullet laid him low. But this has naught to do with my story. I "One night the shah visited one 'of-the 'French theaters of the lower grade.' When he arrived, the house. was iuii. liie oriental monarcn re ceived the best the house afforded. but that was not even one exclusive box. The shah and his friends were ushered into one of the front boxes. In it sat f typical Scotchman, staid 3 fi -I - " uu euieuju asms race, m tne course of the evening a lithe limbed dan seuse capered nimbly ' unon the stages j Instantly the ehah was all attention. He feasted his eve on the gyrating form and even forgot his kinjgly. dignity m his admiration for the actress. Persia's proud ruler sat in front of the Scot, whowas the only occupant of the box when his party arrived. When his en thusiasm carried him to his feet, the Scot's vision was obscured. Shah or no shah, the Scot had paid to see the show, and see the show he proposed to do. - .' "Laying a heavy -hand' on the shoulder of the oriental despot, the j Scot said : 'If you ever come to Scot land, ask for MacKenzie, the laird of Kintoul. He'll show you better j things than Paris ever saw.' I "The earnestness of the Scot ifn pressed the shah even more than ! hi8,heavy hand. MacKenzie, the laird of Kintoul, was a name that lodged in his memory, the more be ! cause with it was associated tho promise of eights to the Persian yet unnnown. a lew months tnereafter it befell that the shah, ii the course of his trip through the British jsles, visited Scotland. The laird of Kin- tours invitation still rung in his ears.- Inquiry revealed 1 that Mac Kenzie was the head of a numerous and powerful clan, and the shah went out of his, course to meet him and remind him of his tiromise: ( "The highland chief is the soul of nonor. ie lelt complimented by the.visit and in duty bound to make good his promise.' The fair lassies for all the country round were as sembled in the laird's ancestral cas tle. . ive hundred young women tossed their slippers skyward at the first note of the Scotch bagpipe.

In my Dart of Scotland the nhah and his visit to the laird of Kintoul is still one of the subjects of neigh borly gossip." St. Louis! Globe- Democrat, No Wonder the Son Was Surprised. A 1- a meiourama was some years since piayea in a certain theater. the chief actor in which had made himself, from his overbearing con- aucx, aisiiKea , by one and all. In the last scene he was supposed to visit the tombs of his ancestors. In the center of the stage, upon a mar ble pedestal, stood the statue of his father. A heavy- fold of drapery coverea tne ngure. Enter Albert. "Once again," he says, let me gaze upon those fea tures which in life so often beamed with tenderest affection. Father, thy mourning son now comes to pay thee reverence. Let me remove the veil which from vulgar gaze shields the image of a once dear parent I" The drapery fell aside, and behold the father stood upon his headl The effect cannot be described. It was electric.- The 6houts of laughter which followed effectively nut an end to the scene, which changed to me next as quickly as possible, amid the bravosof the audience, the anger - of the manager, and the un controllable rage of the actor, London Tit-Bits. A Prophetess Confounded. One of the most diverting tales told in connection with the art of anagram making relates to a certain Dame Elean or Davies, wife of Sir Joshua Davies, says a writer in Lippincott's Magazine She lived in the time of Charles I and was a constant croaker and foreteller of evil. At length she made herself so ob noxious to the government that she was Qited to appear before the court of high commission. She fancied that she was gifted with prophetio powers, because the letters of Eleanor Davies formed the anagram "Eeveal, O Daniel. " This was not a good anagram, as it . used the "1" twice and did not employ the "s at all. She resisted all the efforts of the bishops to bring her to reason but was at last entirely defeated by a witty dean, who hoisted her with her own petard by making another anagram, not so complimentary to her prophetio in sight, "Dame Eleanor Daviesnever so mad a ladiel" This caused her to ooubt the reality of her own inspiration, and so utterly disconcerted her that no more was heard of her.
