When the enemy waa about to close on its victim a sailor fresh from foreign parts appeared on the scene, and, dragging from his much tattooed breast a rival pet in the shape of a marmoset, sent it to the rescue in a basket. The little cieatnre, half cat and half monkey, must have been acquainted alike with ita duties and the English language, for it did rot seize the octo pus, but, lay in? hands on the dog, was safely hauled up. to the distrust of the enemy and j v of friends.

Elizabeth Cady Srairrox is said to be tired of the lecture platform and ia about to leave it for gotW. Policewomen. few Tork Tuum. One Mrs. Blake has recently written a Jotter to a partially e-U emed con tem porary railing attention to the sys tem Hlc outrages on the sacred Dess of Worfl aft hood whfeh constant: per petratea by the police. When a drunken woman is arrested, she is arretted by a man ; dragged to a police station, where she is confronted bv a sergeant, who is also a man ; and- finally locked uu in a cell which is frrt;t!enly !0 elsrse prox imity to other cells occupied bv men. From the moment thit the policeman lays his hand, except in kindnes, on the intoxicaved woman to the moment when a ma culine jailer thrusts her into a cell, the sacrpdness of her oman hood is outraged. To remedy this pain fill StrttH Of thiHtrSi f ra ftlak-o ...Ml.KA... that a number of policewomen should be appointed, whose business it should be to take charge of women who arc ar nsted, and to fee that the sac redness of their womanhood is not outraged by subjecting them to the gaze or handling of policemen. This is a simple remedy, and it will, of course, te immediately adopted. ThBugh Mrs. Blakb Uontehta herself with demanding that policewomen shall employed at police stations in order to tafee charge of women who have been arrested, it is obvious that policewomen bhou'd also have the exclusive power to arrest offenders of their own sex. If (he sacred nees of woman must not Vw outraged at a police station It ought flot Id be Outraged in the street. We mflst, therefore, hive a double and bisexual police force. The policemen will arrest ma'e offenders, and the policewomen will arrest women, aod the arrest of axy person by an officer oi another sex must be declared unlawful. If women are protected from policemen, men must be proteoted from policewomen ; otherwise, the mate drunkard Will be liable to have the Sacredhrss of his ftaftbrjod .vjo'ated by having a policewoman's band laid ofl hw modest thoulder. The adoption of this plan would re quire the police authorities to double the patrols. Every policeman, when goine on doty, would be required to give his arm to a policewoman and pa trol his district in company with her. O her wise, there would be a difficulty in making prompt arrests. A policeman, finding a drunken woman disturbing the Peace, might respectfully request Her to wait While he called a pollceWo man to arrest her, but in all probability she Would not Wait, and atter taunting the officer with his inability to outrage the sacred ness of her womanhood by laying his hands upon ber, would retire to another precinct, if, however, the policeman and policewoman were to hunt in couple they would not only be able to arrest evil-dcers with prompt ness and propriety, but they would ex ercise an excellent influence on each other. The policeman would have his masculine nature purified and refined by association With the policewoman, nnd she would gain strength and firm ness of character from him. Just as Mrs. Beiva Lockwood has purified the atmosphere of the bar by becoming a laywer, woman, if admitted to the force, would purify and ennoble it to that ex tent that a policeman would exhibit the modesty and sweetness of a young lady. combined with the morality and manli ness of St. Paul. Joe Parsons' Adventure. Philadelphia Times.) Joe Person f was a Baltimore boy. and a little rough, bnt withal a good-hearted fellow and a . brave soldier. He got badly wounded at Antietam, and thus laconically described the occurrence, and what followed to some people who visited the hospital : "What is your name!" "Joe Parson?." "What is the matter?" "Blind as a bat, sir; both eyes shot out." "At what battle ?" "Antietam." "How did it happen?" "I was hit and knocked down, and had to lie al) night on the battle-field. The birht was renewed next dav. and I was under fire. I could stand the pain, but could not see. T wanted to see or tret out of the fire.

LESLEY AND IRENE. BY MARY REED CEOWELL. Such a look as was on Irene Iredell's face such a piteous, hunted look in the intensely beautiful gray eyes such visible, desperate attempt at self-control, lest Paine Alliger should understand bow deeply his words had cot home. But Pine Alliger saw the white pitilul face, and the anguished eyes, and the proud, compressed lipa that were paler than he ever, had seen them sweet, luscious lips he had kissed again and again and rather enjoyed the knowledge of ha influence over her. She had been so proud at the first, so reserved and unapproachable, that Al liger had been immediately thrown upon entirely new rescourc s in order to form an acquaintance with her. Then very gradually, as an icicle slowly melts beneath the suddenly warm rajs of spring-like winter-day son, she had grown into something more than an acquaintance, yet leas than a friend, until by deg-ees it had grown to this that Paine Alliger had come to be all the world to her. He had been an ardent, pers'stent wooer. He had been just the oce man who ever c uld have hoped to touch Irene Ire-r-ells h art the flrt, the last, the only one and ore j won, h r icy hautt ur waa banish d forevtr towards bim, and she unhesitatingly gave him a'l the great love and adoration of which only such natures as hers are capible. There bad been one little, little month of bieasedne s. in which it seemed toiler so much of perfect content was com press, a that it was hardly le-s than dangerous to her after peace toaoc pt it. And then, suddenly, sharply, just like a flash of lightening from a sky apparet.t'y free of storm, because the dark, r lliog don Is only happen to be a little 1 eynnd one's range of v sion just so start) irg'y and unawares did it come to her Pa n't Alliser's deft ct on.

H was a thoroughly selfish man, and perhaps as handsome a man as ever , which two conditions so often go t gether. He was thorough!? refined, too, and so mercilessly crael in his aesthetic tasUs. He wa nasterful none other than a pr nee among his fellows could h .ve toccbed Irene Ire dell's heart and h had been eager and devoted in his chase after this girl's heart, more than was his wont. Bat now he was tired of it.

" It must be as vou 83?.-" aha said. broktnly Irene Iredell, the haughiir woman he ever bad seen in all his varied experience. "It bas always been as vou said with me, and if it is my fate to be left like ibie" Then, as if hr old pride rebelled against the outcry of Iter Women's scorned love, she sharply hesitated, compressing ber line till it tsemea to Alliger, as be stood watching every ex pression, every gesture, every shade of paling color, as a physician watches the ominous change on a dying man's coun tenance, that she never could part them again. But that old pride struggled oat in one swift, brief protest, and the com pressed Hps cfpened in obedience. "Perhaps I should be grateful to know this now. When you go back to the other woman, I wish you joy of her." But the sweet face was more dismayed and despairing than the voice was sax cast c) or the manner haughty. Then he Went away, with gentle, pity ing adieux, when Irene would far rather be bad been even rough and crael, so that she might have retained some memory of him that hurt her. But it was part of his consummate plan that she should only re men ber i im as he desired to be remembered; and when he got himself ont of the boose, on the road to the depot, on bis way back to Liesley May, somehow somehow he did not eni- y bis triumph for which be had neglected all other things; Eomehow there was a sarra tic echo in his ear as he thought of it " the othef Woman ; I wish yon joy of ber! ' Lesley May " the other woman " bonny and fair as a blue-bell, with her pale gold hair flowing down her 'boul ders front the Grecian fillet of pallid blueribb m she always wore her pansy blue eyes shining, her rosebud mouth waiting for Paine AUiger's ki-ses of greeting, and Paine Alliger watching her, as the carriage drove up to the cot tagegatefaDd thinking brw remarkably pretty and eirlish she was how daintily fr sh and charming. A sea-breeze was blustering, stirring her shining hair, swaying her blue lawn skirt, and bringing a faint carnation to her cheeks, that deepened aa Alliger sprang down from the carriage and went np to her the first time in six months she had seen him. "I did so want you, Paine," she said, half eagerly, half in tender ftp oof, after they had gone into tbe parlor large, high-ceiled, matting-floored, with lace drapery floating in the breeze. "And how do yon suppose it bas been with me, my aweet, all these weary, stupid weeks, with only your dear let ters to relieve the monotony of dry-as dust business?" Her head was nestled contentedly on his shoulders, his arm close around ber WalSt. "And is it all done, Paine all over with thia horrid business that has kept you buried in a wretched little town so long?-' A carious sensation thrilled bim at her question. "AU done with, my darling forever done ' A re you glad 7" And, between her w rapturous answer and his question, Irene Iredell's pale, splendid face, with its passionate, trop ical eyes, glided like an accusing ghost Aft r thatwell, Paine A I linger son dered what had come Over bim. All the bright, ardent summer-time he lingered at tbe seaside in L-sh y's com psn'y. She was bright, bonny, witc' -ing aa ever, and devoted to him; Lut It fretted him, angered him at first, lo find that be could not get rid of Irene Iredell's face. It haunted bim as a dream will haunt a dreamer. He seemed to have no power over bis will and imagination tu thrust tbe remem brance of her from him. Gradually he grew to c mrar.n ; hrr queenly ways w th Lesley's kittenish ones. Gradually he came to an appre ciation of tbe exqu site reli-a there bad been in winning such perfect treasure of passion as were deep bidden in her heart. And, in contradistinction, Lesley's ever-ready, ever-demonstrative affe -tion, that, curious enough, stemed somehow to pall upon him. While, three months before, he had told himself that, Irene Iredell's love, safely won, largely bestowed even witb ber delicious way of reserve, a'to palled upon him. Alliger was thoroughly nn1 appy. He had played with fire, thinking be bore the charm that would prevent tbe scorching; and Irene wss certainly be ing revenged; while that one powder flash of a speech she had irade ' That other woman; I wish vou joy of her!" ranked deep and hurtful. Jyof her!

Two weeks he traveled aimlessly, here and there, always hoping tn come across the Pale party ; a d the first letter be received from I.edey, that reached hiss on the topen Mutfnt Washington, one August day, told bim among the gossip, of a delightful acquisition to their party Mrs. and the Misses Kale sad a Miss Iredell, who had arrived at the hotel tbe evening he left.

' Don't psss me by this way, Irene, he said, impetuously, for she gave him the id est of bow-., nd detained her by laying his bend on her arm. She looked tip st him, haughty, angry, yet he could dot fail to see the pale, set look on her beam it al face. " This ia unwarrantable, Mr. AlUgsr. Remove your band." The same exquiri'e voice, whose con tralto tones set every nerve in rebellion against his fate. "Can you not understand ? You shall understand, Irene, that I have regretted that I ever allowed anything, say one, to some between us. I loved you when I gave you up. I have loved yoo every moment since. I have been to your borne, wherever I thought you might be. I tn corns to you now, Irene, Irene I to tell you no other Woman can, or shall cfrase between us! Irene 1" Re smiled fsiutiy. " You are woman," he said faintly. " No, she does not know," be went on, passion creeping to his votes again; " but she will know. I dare say I de serve to be thiown over by you, but Lesley May shall never be my wife, not even if you persist in your cruelty to us both ; for you love me you do love me and your heart bears me witnessof it. I will not marry Lesley May, because I do not love her. You will uot listen to me. and you do love me." A little shiver ran over her. Hia words were so masterful, as of old, and1 his influence over her had always been powerful. But she only smiled coldly, and bowed and passed, and left Alliger as no woman bad ever succeedd7 la making bim feel before. And, five minutes after he bad taken himself away from the spot whirr Irene bad left him, Lesley May crept slowly up from, beside the bugs upturned surf boat, where sbe had been sitting, think ing, reading aad dreaming sweet dreams, until the sudden sound of her lover's voice had startled her, and "Typhoid malignant typhoid," Doc tor Merselis said, very gravely to Mrs, Fales. " No doubt caused by impure water, imperfect drainage. Hhe will need strictest care strictest care ; and even then " Irene lifted her calm, lovely fsoe to his. " Is there Sanger that Miss May will die?" " Typhoids are always uncertain, my dear Miss Iredell, and in a measure in fectious; but I think, with proper pre caution, vou need not be personally alarmed" She silenced him with one of ber im perious looks. " I am not afraid, sir. I intend to offer my services as Miss May's nurse, if she is redly in danger, and needs intelli gent care. I am used to sickness." Nor had persuasions nor reproofs any effect upon her. She quietly went ber way, and took up her post at Lesley May's bedside ; end then, and only then, in the girl's ravings, did slie learn tbe woe, tbe anguish, tost was st the bot tom of tbe terrible illness. And as Paine Alliger had almost killed ber once, so now soother life hung in the b dance on bis account. While be, in such dismay and despair as be never dreamed he could suffer, passed his wretched dsys and nights, all bis thoughts centered on that sick-room, where the two women who loved bim were faee to face with Axrael. Aad then, one day, ibe news went forth that Mi-s Iredell had taken the fever; and thou One little month lster, when Pains Alliger stood alone on the rands, and knew never again would bonny I Lesley's soft arms twine around bis neck, be wondered hew it could be he erer had dreamed be did love her. And sgsin, as he tried In vsin to real ise that Irene bsd laid down ber beau tiful life to save her sister womsn's, it seemed to bim that no such punishment bad erer come to mortal man before ; and he went I is way. gloomy, d i shear t eued, eooscisoce-striiken. and unutter ably lonely, bearing a bu'den he could never in bis life lay aside; while they two were peacefully st rest, after their brief dream of bliss and bitter awaken ing. And who shall say theirs waa not tbe happier fate? A Ilessiested Hat. It is s great man who csn torn mis fortune into gladness. Jones did tnl.

When sbe arose tbst hat looked like a dried codfish in the la-1 stages of con sumption, if Jones had been sn ordi nary mortal h would undoubtedly have used language bordering on the profane. He did not ; perhaps be was unable to rise to the eminence of the occasion. He rushed borne witb that deasicsted bat. He cried out eagerly to Mrs. J.: "Here, dear, bow do you like it? Tbought I would rive you a specimen of ay taste for once?"
