OX GOOD FRIDAY.
"Bcckson, I pray you, tell inanima tho
story uf your alike this ovoning, ns WO ata
alone. Hut do not skip any of it. Tell it
all."
And after obeying mamma's motion to
sit nearer her armchair, as she was begin
ning to bo a little hard of bearing, though
•he was lonth to luimlt It, ho commenced:
"After your war with tho Prussians I
was in Pari3 nnd remained there all
through tbeeommiino, from the lirst gun
thota to the devastation and ruin of the
end. And this lr. how It came topass: My
father, noxious that I should bernmo a
good French scholar, had placid me, as a
hoarder, just nftcr the signing of peace nt
an institution presided OVC* by priests, tho
Huurdalouo school 111 the li so d'Assus,
near the Luxembourg gardens. Then ho
hUll'Li'd foe Ciiimiiiiiu, vet bo guile foi : 6C-V
--evai months, all llis business Interests be
ing centered there. My companions called
too 'the American.' There were only 20
of us, alt nearly tho sumo ngc. A few of ns
—thu larger boys—were about 111 or 13.
'To tell the truth, wo were net killed
with overwork. Thero were no tasks to
bo studied after school or boys kept in for
imperfect lessons. The days passed in rec
reation, broken into by desultory studies
of half an hour's duration, during which
we could read or draw mops with colored
pencils. My great forle was shading
mountains. At mealtime we wero allowed
to talk in aloW Voice, und the kitchen was
not bad. In company with one of my lit
tlo friends we managed to escape tbo te
dium of the schoolroom very frequently,
and we reveled in the pleasures of tho In
firmary, which WAS presided over by Ulster
(iraelcuse, who tod us on cough drops.
What games of hide aad seek und football
we had in those days! The professors wero
not strict with us, and in order to be able
to run Witli more freedom, as they joined
us in our games, they tucked up their long
black skirts and disclosed their black cot
ton hose without tho least shame. Wo
laughed heartily ut them. Thero was ouo»
among them, Abbo Fontaine, whom wo
never could catch. Ah, those were indeed
good old times!
"But one day a scholar was withdrawn
from school without warning. Five left
the next day, 12 the duy after. It was iv
reality a case of protect yourself us beat
you could. At the end of a week only two
remained—myself and the eon ef a ship
plug mcrohapt. Then one afternoon bo,
like the others, was called to the parlor
and taken av.uy by a gentleman, Who
looked at his watch every 11 vo minutes, as
though fearful of missing the Inst train.
A baggage laden carriage waited ut tho
gate fur them. They hurried Into it, and
1 was left alone. Pardon me if I linger
over these trivial remembrances, but these
Imperishable futilities have remained so
vivid in my mind, so interwoven in this
story, that i could not pass them by in si
lence. A profound melancholy enveloped
the empty school and the silent corridors.
In the study hall tho ground glass win
dows were streaked with the mar!;s of pa
per balls und tho dust whitened desks dis
figured witli penknife scratches.
•'The largo buildings, which had echoed
with shouts of laughter a few days before,
resembled a war depopulated fortress. I
can still see the great oaken brums, from
which tho knotted ropes, shrunken by
rain, hung motionless, side by side with
the melancholy looking trapi tea in the
playground. Since tho dormitories .had
been locked up I had slept In a littlo closet
opening oil Abbe Blan's bedchamber.
Ono nftcr another the priests, carrying
small hand satchels, had deserted ua—
monsieur the superior, the first prefect,
the librarian and the Stewart!—every one,
in fitct. No one was left in charge of tho
bearding school but Abbe Plan, director
of studies. After letting me sleep until ('.
o'clock every morning he would como to
the side of my cot, pull off the covers, toss
up my bolster and in his jolly voico cry
out:
•• 'Deo Gratiasl Get up, lazy boucst'
"He had not delayed changing hia cas
sock for civil garment*, Which ho wore
without tho slightest awkwardness. A
dark- brown suit, a largo brimmed, soft
felt hot end a dark blue cravat wero his
doily cnstunio. And to sec hint in tho full
vigor of his 1!0 years, his short mustucho
and his halt worn quito long under his
bat, you woidtl bave sworn ho WOB sumo
{ray young rake, down from the heights of
Yauglrad, seeking to moke an Impression
on susceptible hearts. Wo wero out all
day, strolling along, trying to accustom
ourselves to tho strange tights in tho
streets.
"At every step wo jostled against un
kempt soldiers, with comforters around
their necks and beards which had not
known the barber's caro for weeks, no
buttons on their cutils, nnd. taken alto
gether, a very distressed looking lot. Or
else wo met Vengeitrs Vermilion, F.-.n
chours Noire, light Infantrymen, with
cock's plumes in their hats; enfhnts dv
despair, zouaves of tho atmce d'Afrlque
ties oarrieFM —a dissolute typiflcation of a
Crawling, howling, patriotic drama of the
Boulovard dv Crime. Wo frequently on
countered national guard funerals which
surpassed any Mi-Carome fantasy.
"Following a rude hearse, draped in red
lings, which flapped mournfully in tho
wind, hurried in pcllmcll confusion gen
erals who wero literally covered with gold
braid, wearing high Hessian hoots nud
accompanied by women, whose heads wero
swathed in Madrashundkerchiefts, astride
heavy cavalry horses, which they lieut and
spurred incessantly, while lv year-old
trumpeters, with cheeks puffed out to
bursting, essayed playing tho 'Marseil
laise.'
• The crowd bowed abjectly to the gor
geous pageant. Tho abbe, With his back to
tho wjtll, In order to hide the slight rem
nants of his tonsure, doffed his felt and I
my cap. We were rewarded for our cour
tesy by tho many sympathetic glances cast
upon us.
"The first duys rolled by without giving
tho abbe any eau<?o for uneasiness. He
had prudently taken the precaution of pro
viding himself with fnlße pa]HTS, and his
position could in enso of necessity be re
dnced to tho following: 'A teacher, ot t!>
sous per day; ho hail been left in this large
boarding scbool in charge of tho only re
maining fioliolar, whose parents had been
unable to remove hi:n; ho was earing for
tho littlo fellow, looking to the aid And tho
protection of the commune, positive that
it would shield and save a son of free
America!' Besides his Imperturbable sail:?
bold saved him from many nn enibarrass

tbat it pleased him to play hide and sec.:
with daugcr. Ml two ortrwaea square* r;o
qUCSttOmd the nflerrs, found fntllf with
everything, always had the last word, oa
lent "»t!onsly bought the Bonnet Rougo or
the Pi re lnVhetic. Iti public he wus prod
igal ia the usool the word eltoyon.' Who
wottld havo suspect.-d, in this bragging
BOoffCr, the fervent retiring priest we knew
in retreat ? Tbe same whom I could sco
rial lay with half closed eyes on my cot
bed kneeling on his wooden prie Dleu dur
ing the hour* el the silent night, lost In
prnvcr and nicditntlon.
"Wo wore in tho hnblt of taking our
meals at a miserable littlo restaurant in
Ihe Buo de Ronnes, filled at all hours
with common people and workmen in
blouses, who hobnobbed noisily together
without paying any attention to us. Wo
always hail the Same dessert—an npplo
and three black nuts. I think thnt tho j
proprietress, a jolly sort of a woman, In n
trlcolored cap, rcoognltcd tho abbo tho
very lirst day, but sho hud a good face and
she invariably greeted us with n pleasant
smile.
••On the 10th of April—it fell on Fri
day, and Good Friday, too—after we bad
been seated at our table for a few mo
ments, looking over tho bill of faro, pre
paratory to ordering our breakfast, several
national guardsmen, who were drinking
beer at 11 tuhlo or two nway from us, scom
cd to lie whispering among themselves.
They cast suspicious glances In our dlrre
tlott, and excitedly shipping their thighs
raised their voices to 11 loud pitch, Snd
di uly ono of them, rising, stagrrored to
ward us, and touching the abbe's shoulder
with his dirty forelln;. W —he In the nil "Ul
timo continued to s'.atiy the llsli portion
of tho card without flinching—addressed
him in 1111 insulting totie of voice:
•' •Come, do not. lio to us; you are a
crow.' o slang phrase for priest.
*♦ ' More rhnn Mk*ly,' added nnnflipr
"And a third chimed in: •Certainly ho
is one. He dare not deny iti Come, preach
to us; wo will listen.'
"The abbe had never budged, had not
even mado a gesture. He looketl them in
the face jceringly, shrugged his shoulders,
ami in a laughing voice called out:
'•'Around, of drinks for theso bravo
men!'
" 'Xo,' replied the first speaker, 'no li
ters; o;:r thirst Is quenched—something
else! Since you are willing to treat us,
pay for somo folo gras' and join us. If I
remember rightly, today is Good Friday,
that's right—wo will see, no mistake, ns
to what he is!'
" 'Ah, bravO, that is good!' applauded
tho gallery. 'Hft, tbat catches him, Al
phonsol Con:c, feast with us, or wo will
cut off your head!'
"All the revelers had left their seats
and crowded around us, with distended
eyes, looking for the consummation of tho
farce. And a frowsy mason, with crossed
arms, hiccoughed:
"In the meantime an enormous slico of
pnto had been placed on the table, a nasty,
rancid, yellowish mess, swimming lv
grease, a large black truffle stuck in tho
top, the kitchen knife lying alongside of
it on a thick common plato. On all sides
curses were hearth
" 'No danger; he will not take a bite,
tie is too much afraid of damning his soul
forever!'
'■ Will ho cat it? Ho is not eating!
Warm him!'
'All at once the silonroof tho grave fell
upon the room, and you could have heard
the (hitter of a fly's wings. The abbe had
taken the knife. He cut off a slice, put it
on a plate and tranquilly ate it. Ho was
pale, but ho swallowed without any hurry
or outward sign of disgust. After several
moUthfula he rose and said in an icy tone
of voice:
'• 'Are you satisfied?'
"Then, putting on his hat and taking
mo by the hand, he paid his bill and went
out, leaving them stupefied with astonish
ment. Once In tho'strcct, he never opened
his mouth, and I was too much upset to
address a word to him, Tho weather was
warm, and somewhere a street band was
playing a German waltz, snd enough to
listen to. On tho curbstone a crippled
woman stood begging. Ho crossed tho
street to givo her alms.
"Still In silence, wo entered tho school
house. Ho went up the stairs which led
to our room; but, all ut once, on tho stair
case, his Strength gave way, and he burst
Into heartbreaking sola, his fnco pressed
against the wall, trembling and us weak
us a child. He cried out in the midst of
his paroxysms: 'My God, my God, It was
for tho littlo one who was confided to my
caro lhat I sinned! Pardon me! Pardon
me!'
' Then, turning to mo gently, ho sent
me away, saying, -Go piny and lcnvoino
alone!'
''I obeyed him, but as I descended tho
6tairs I hoard him ray: 'A priest, a priest!
And today is Good Friday!'
"Seme days later wo left the school and
found refuge with some friends of the nb
be's, and tbey bid us until the arrival of
tho Versailles troops."
My mother appeared to bo very much
moved by his story. In n low voice sho
Unthinkingly gave expression to the poign
ant regret of her life, "I would have loved
to havo had a son a priest, to have hod
him by me ns I closed my eyeson this lifo
und to have had hia prayers after my
death."
Then I felt that I must scold her:
"Como, come, petite mamma, no euch
dolcfulldoas beforo whist. Shall I turn
up the lamp? Shall I givo you somo sug
ar—two lumps? Now, do not hunt for
your spectacles; they aro en your nose."—■

Watching Them 3i«Uo Cigarettes.
Tlic most attractive spectacle ot the
many shops on Broadway is tho Turks
who make cigarettes in tbe store windows
of tobacco stores that deal in oriental
goods. Tbey are hired nt so much per
1,000 cigarettes, and it Is stipulated that
they rnnrt work In full view of pnssersby.
A woman and a man, the latter wearing a
bright red fe/, work together. The wom
an does tho most important part of tho
wcrk. She takes *a whlsp of tobacco,
kneads it into circular shape, wraps round
it a hit of stilt paper, puts a bit of rice pa
per already pasted above the stiff paper re
ceptacle, already full of shreds of tobneco,
arid by n deft movement with a stick
crowds tho tobacco from the stiff paper
Environment into tlte rice paper, and there
Is tho complete cigarette, burring the trim
ming at the ends. It is, to the smoker,
like tho seeing of his eteuk cooked on v
broiler to tho epicure. It just makes him
want t:, smoke, and as a rule ho steps In
tide, after watching the cigarette makers
awhile, and buys n package of tho weed. —

One day when tho streets wero very
slippery with ice a truckman tried to
got up to the gentleman's door with ri
heavy load. The horses, having no corks
on their shoes, struggled nnd slipped
about ii' i» desperate way without mak
ing any ronl progress.
Tho good humored Irishman went
out ami endeavored to assist the truck
man. At lust, when it seemed ns if their
united efforts wore nil in vuin, I'tit
looked np nt tho man and said, with a
grin:
"It's no use. Thim haorses ay yures
have unry a shoo thim —only ahlippew!"

"Talking of Indiana and thoir strata
gems, '' said D. A. Marston, lately of the
United States cavalry, "they are past
masters in the arts of skulking and de
ceiving. An Apneho will lie behind p.
soapweed on the open prairie, and you
may rido past 200 or 800 yards away
and never br.vo tin idea that thero is !■
redskin within 50 miles of you Utiles*
ho decides to fiflk a shot nt yoa. As yov
pass tho tsonpwcod ho works Ids body
around so as to keep it always in lint
with the plant and yon. Even on tl:r
open prairie, with no moro shelter t.'.nt
that affordiul by somo little inequality
of surface, ho will sift dust ovor hi
body, flatten himself out, frtco down
ward, against tho ground, and lying a
motionless as a stono Will cscapo flu
Observation of any except sharp nut
practiced eyes. Sometimes in a group od
cactus or Spanish bayonet, his bncl:.-k:
garments blending with tho hues of the
plants, his face find neck concealed b>
tho head oi n Spanish bayonet, ho wili
stand liko a post, indistinguishable to
tho inexperienced eye, oven nt close
quarters, from tho grotesque plants
about him.
"A queer experience of this kind oc
curred to mo iv niy sorvieo in Ari/.ona
during General Crook's, last campaign
ngninst tho Apaches. Tom Mcrrinm of
my troop and myself wero detailed to
carry dispatches from Camp Bowio to
Camp Graht, up on tho Rio Benito. It
was *i dangerous servic-u at ilini iiine,
and wo had to keep a sharp lookout and
bo ready to light or run at a moment's
notice, for thero was uo knowing at
what point on tho routo tho Apaches
might not ho lying in wait to jump us
as wo came nlone;.
"Wo wero ou our return to Camp
Bowio and had just crossed the wooded
canyou where (ho cold spring is and
■wero coming out npon tho open prairio
that stretches down to tho San Pedro
river, when through tho branches of a
low treo I saw what I took to bo an In
dian on tho plain, about a half milo
ahead. Eut on spurring my horse for
ward so as to get ft better look nothing
was to be seen save tho bnro prairie,
with no sign of man or boast upon its
expense.
"As wo rode along I spoke of the
matter to Tom, who laughed at what ho
called my scare, which ho said caused
mo to sco imaginary Indians. Wo ennio
oppesito a low, gray bowlder upon the
prairio 200 paces or so from tho trail.
" 'I don't remember ever tohavosren
that rock before,' said Tom, who hid
been over tho route several times. 'How
in tho dovil did it get there? I'll ride
over and taho a look at it!' And he
reined his horse .and rodo toward th:
object. I followed him, a fow yards be
hind.
"His horse had ecarcely taken a dor
en steps when tho seeming gray nick
moved slightly upward, aud thore came
from its lower edge a flash and report
with tho sercam of a big caliber ball
that flapped Tom's coat with its wind
and caused his horse to plunge so and
denly that Tom, ono of the best riders
in tho troop, not being on fho lookout
for such a happening, was thrown. At
the same instant an Apache leaped from
beneath the gray blanket that had serv
ed him to masquerade as a bowlder and
ran liko a deer for the onuyon, leaping
to left and right us he went toavoid the
shots that Tom and I sent after him
from our repeating; carbines.
"Wo knocked up tho dust abont his
feet nnd nindo him do somo tall dodging
to the whistling of onr bullets, but that
was all, for wo didn't hit him. Tohavo
chased him Would havo been folly, first,
because wo wero bearing dispatches iv
haste und needed the last ouuco of rc
servo force in our horses, and, secondly,
because with tho start he had wo should
not have overhauled him in his run for
the canyon, into which wo could not
havo followed him. Ho wo took tho trail
rgaiu aud redo onr way with another
Wrinkle added to our expericnoo of In
dinn trickery and cussedness."—Now

Terrible Torturo In Maroeco.
A chargo had been laid nt Mulni
Omar's door—that of having ordered
tile music of tho drums and fifes to
ccaso on tho occasion of tho announce
ment of Mului Abdul Aide's succession
to tho thvonc. On tho playtrs refusing,
his highness sent a slave, who enforced
silence by splitting up tho drums with
a dagger. For this act of treason lm
was afterward punished by having tho
flesh of his hand sliced, the wound fill
ed with salt and tho wholahaud sewed
up in leather.
It ia a common belief that this pun
ishment causes mortification to set in, |
and that the hand decomposes, but such I
is not tho case, for by tho time tho j
leather woars off tho wound is healnd, I
tho result being thai tho hand is render- i
cd useless nnd remains closed forever. J
It is a punishment not often in tiso, but
is sometimes done iv cases of murder or ;
const tint theft, as, without in any way
injuring tho health of the man, it pre- i
ventn his committing the crime n Second j
timo or for the hundredth timo, as the j
case may be. It is a punishment that j
cannot bo applied except, by the sultan's t
order..-. —Blnfltrvc nod's Magazine.
