THE f ALMIGHTY .DOLLAR
Au UnglUhman's Opinion uf Its Worship la

I think whatovor bo said of tho wor-
ship of tho almighty dollar in America
it is Indubitaule that rich men ate re-
garded thero with loss envy and hatred
than rich men nro In Kuropo. Why Is
this? llcoauso their condition Is less
!lcd boonuso government and legisla-
tion dq uot take them more seriously'
than other people make grandees of
thorn aid them to found families and
endure. With us the chief holders o
property nro grandees already and
overy noh man aspires to become a
grandeo if possible. And therefore
on Kncllsh country gontlcmnn regards
himself as part of the system of na-
ture; government nnd legislation have
Invited him to dp so. jftho price of
wheat fnljs. so low tha his moans ot
expenditure are greatly reduced h
tells. VOU Chut If this lasts ha rnn not
possibly goion ns a. country guntlcraani
uuii every woii-ureu person among in
looks sympathizing arid shooked. An
American would says "Why should
he?" Tho Conservative newspapers
aro fond of giving us an an argument
for tho game laws tho plot that with-
out them a country gontleman could
not bo Induced to livo on his estate.
An American would says "What does
It mattor?" Perhaps to an English ear
this will sound brut-J; fc;-.; tha point Is
that the Amerin docs not take his
rich man so seriously us wo do Qurs
does not raako him Into a grandee; tho
thing If proposed to him would striko
him as an absurdity. I suspect that
Mr Winans himself tho American mil-
lionaire who adds deer forest to deei
forest. And will not sufibr a cotter to
keep a pet lamb regards hU own per-
formance as a colossal stroko nf Ameri-
can humor Illustrating tho absurdities
of tho flrlUsh system of property and
privilege. Ask Mr. Winans if he would
promote the Introduction of tbe British
gamo laws into tho United States and
he would toll yo-i with a morry laugh
that tho idea Is ridiculous and that
these British follies are for home con-sumption.-Ualthtw

THE BELL OF SAN MARCO.
A Wild Tnlo of n Strnnffo Span-
ish Murdor.
I tell you tho following dory an It
ivar tiltl mo bv a Sjinnbjh Jady not long
agpj nnd improbable as it may soem In
this ago of gentler and moro humane
principle it I s ncvenhelois true and
tho leading facta so well authenticated
HibL 1 fool obliged to concoal tho real
name. ot tho person and places con-
corned therein.
Hard by tho beautiful old church of
San Marco there dwelt nt tho beginning
of this century and honest bricklayer
Marco Gomez by naran. Ho was poor
uxccptlng In an upright and sunny dis-
position over ready to share what he
had of this world's goods wlta his
neighbor and day after day contentedly
eating his ga.ipae.ho and pra'slng Clod
nnd his patron 'flint for their manifold
incrcios to him a poar sinner a guile
loss happy nature such as ono often
and porhaps only finds among tho
lower classes In Spain.
Ono sultry morning In May Marco
war awakened by a sharp knocking at
tho doorof his tile-roofed cabana and
hastening to answer tho summons ho
started at tho appearance of twotmsked
men who told him hurriedly in courto-
ous though ncrcmutory tones thut
they desired his scrriccs In demolishing
and rebuilding a brick wall and bade
hlra take tho necessary Implements.
Having thon blindfolded him thoy led
him to a carriago stationed a few yards
oft Tho carriago set forth nt first slow-
ly and gradually nt a brisker pace.
Marco had by this tlmo partially recov-
ered his equanimity nnd tho promise of
a nmuncraL'on which to him sounded
like unbounded wealth further tended
lo restore his courage.
"Ah." thought he "I am to aid In
concealing a treasnro jwrhaps bag-t of
precious stones thoy say such things
aro often done. Well what care I for
precious stones? shall bo rich and
Maria la Gltanilla shall have a bright
new pair of oar-ribgs to sport at tho
fair." Thus buried In his pleasing re-
flections Marco hanllrtaqticcd how far
thoy hud dritrn. Very fur though for
It was fully half an hour since they had
left tho cabana. At length tho carriage
drow up and ho was helped out by his
mysterious companions nnd led Into
what ho though must bo a patio for in
tno siioncn ne r-nnui.iu-uirx .
a fountain and tho air was laden with
tno iraganca of orango blossoms. How
camo It that to Marco's fancy the gentle
rlpplo and low murmur of that fountain
wero as tho weeping and wailing of ono
In soro distress? Ho followed his
guides blindly across tho patio through
a masslvu gateway which clanked
heavily behind tbom up a staircase and
at last he was allowed to uncover his
eyes.
Thoy are In a largo squnre room
destitute of furnltnre nnd but dimly
lighted bj nn oil lamp standing on the
floor in the comer lly this imperfect
light Marco Is ablo to noto tho dress
and carriage of h-s companions cabal-
leros undoubtedly perhaps nobles of
high degree. Ono of those camo for-
ward while the other left tho room
and drawing a line on tho bare whito
wall showed him where ho was to toar
It down. Marco went cheerfully to
work and in spite of Its gre-t thick-
ness in less than halt an hour he had
opened a spaco about flvo feet square
according to instructions. Albeit a
httlo surprised at tho slzo of tho open-
ing Marco suspected nothing undl tho
door opened to admit tho man who had
previously left tho room but not alone
for this tlmo ho half carried half
dragged a young girl clothed in black
and so closoly veiled that her features
were scarcely discernible. Tho poor
girl was but half conscious; undoubtedly
sho had boon heaiily drugged but
nevertheless sho made somo faint resist-
ance Tho men strovo to smothor her
moans ouo holding her fast while tbo
othor covered hor mouth with his hand
and thus with many ffmuttored oath
thoy thrust her into the spaco just
opened. Tho holpless victim fell back
apparently lifeless. Tho petrified spec-
tator of this cruel scone was roused by
a threatening voice commanding him
to rebuild the wall. Tho wrotchod man
frozen with horror fell upon his knees
and implored morcy mercy for him-
solf and tho poor girl. In vain. Their
hearts were callous they know no
rucroy. liaising him roughly from tho
floor the two mon forced him to bejrin
his terriblo task.
"Oh genors for the lovo of God. kill
me but spare mo this terriblo crimol
Havo pity If not upon me. upon her!"
"Fool! do you not see sho Is dead ?
Do you wish to join hor?"
llut why prolongtth!s frightful scene?
Tho devilish work waa accomplished
and tho hapless victim of man's inhu-
manity consigned to a'livlng tomb. Llko
ono in a dream Marco submitted to bo
onco more blindfolded and led down to
tho court-yard; but hark! What was
that? The boll of San Marco striking
one! Yes there was no ralstaku; it
was the familiar sound Marotf had
loarnod to lovo tho great bourboll of
San Marco. Was ho dreaming? Hero
so far from his houso and yot It rang
out clear and loud and near rang out
hope; ind tho poor bricklayer could
icaroo restrain a cry of joy. Ah! San
Marco had heard his agonized prayer
In tbe fatal chamber a bo vo his patron
had heard and answered!
All night long Marco paces his Httlo
room; no rest for him tulght: ho must
not sleep sleep might bring forgetful-
ncss. He must remember . . . remem-
ber .. . Ah! what I this strango dlzzl-
noss? ... At length day dawns. On
hour moro and Wanw Is atnndlng bWow

. . "yes Sonor they once more led
mo down to the potto. Wo were not
without tnagfttcsct the city as 1 had
upjiveeu w at mat inorocne i neara.
nt wnst wm n l board
Oh my head!" . . . and Marco falls
back senseless. All day nnd all nlghfj
do tho ntithdritlos nlnke fruitless search
houso after hotwc nil over tho city;
In vain thoy must nectls give up In de.'
spalr nnd lcavo tho poor girl to hot1
fate. Marco lies dangerously 111 in do
llriuiri tended by his falthfdl nleco
Maria la Gltanilla who sits by his sldo
listening to his Incessant ravings and
froth tlmo to time moistening his
parched nnd feverish lips. Nota word
tloes ho say of tho event In which ho has
lust but played to Important a part.
Has ho fonrottcn?
Midnljfhtl Suddenly Marco Is silent.
the ravings cease. Ho rises from his
couch and with firm step and set face
crosses tho threshold of tho door.
Maria follows; there is a look In his
cics which prevents her from trying to
hold him back. Sho can but follow-
tremblingly nnxlotuly. As ii Impelled
by some Irresistible force Marco goos
swiftly forward past tho cliim-h and
down a by-street nntll ona of tho
principal thoroughfares Is reached. Ho
pause before' n magnificent houso Ol
Moorish architecture; tho masslro
oaken door is wjar. Marco pushes It
gently open ami they fled themselves
In a yiafio. A beautiful fountain plays
softly in tho center surrounded by
blossoming orango trees. The huge
Iron curiccfas or gntM lead ' to the dif.
fctciit parts of tho mansion. The dell
c.ito marblo arches gleam white In the
moonlight
Muttering to himself Marco goes
straight to tho pilddie gate and strives
vainly with eager and trembling hands
to move Its heavy mass. Maria b
Gltanilla is clc;o by his side.
One! tolls San Marco's Iron tongue.
Marco shudders; his hands drop pow-
erless by bis-side
"Mr.tia she Is there nbovol1' And
ho falls heavily forward.
Tho rest of tho story is shrouded In
mvstery. Whether those gloomy walls
gavo up their dread secret or not was
novcr known. Tho family to whom vho
now dqiortcd mnuslon belonged were
rich and powerful An edict was Is-
sued anil stringently enforced forbid-
ding nny talk upon tho subject Somo
urroits were made the transgressor
punished and thus tho sl.Ty was sootl
forirotU'n.
Tho groat heiress of this X ?s died
suddenly and tho next of kin never
els med hi own. Marco lived to a
ooil old ago. but tho strain had been
too great and ho never fully recovered
though tho neighbors say that at tho
sound of tho great bell of San Marco
tho light of reason kindled In his eye
only to fude as tho last stroko cr-ascd.

A CAT DONATION PARTY.
The Experience of lUt-Tormeoted Fam-
ily In Montgomery County.
An incident occurred a fotr miles
from Norrlitown tho other day within
Montgomery County which fairly ri-
valed in ludtcrousness tho ImnMnary
experiences of Max Adolor's (tonsho-
hocken married couple who celebrated
their Iron wedding and whoso frionds
presented them with two hundred and
fifty pairs of flat-irons which had bees
bought at the liquidating salo of n foun-
dry s stock.
Ilio matcrfamilias who may bo des-
ignated as Mrs. Smith is a garrulous
good-natured lidy. who retails hor tri-
als to all sympathizing visitois. Her
principal grievance lately bits Wn th.
Tapaciousncss of a colony of rats that
took possession of tbo houso. Figura-
tively speaking tha family "havo had
rats for breakfast rats for dinner rats
for supper and rats for a night-cap at
bed-time.
All her friends and she has many
had heard about her rat troubles when
sio gavo a dinner-party" About twenty
peoplo wero Invited. Tho first arrival
got out of a carriago and also took out
a bag.
"My dear Mrs. Smith how do you
do? You nro much troubled with tats
and bo anxious for a good cat that I
thought I would bring ou a coupla of
cats. Hero they are .and tho bg be-
ing opened a Tom and" a Tabby leaped
forth and ran around the yard.
Tho second guest brought u cat The
thin! brought a couple of cfda. The
fourth brought a very young kitten.
Tho fifth brought a naw family of kit-
tens. Tho sixth brought a bag full of
back-alloy cats from Philadelphia
whoso appetites accustomed to fat
sower-rats might ho expected to result
In tho annihilation of scrawny little
country rats In ulmost no time. The
seventh guest brought two quiet old fire-
side cats. Tho eighth brought a beau
tlful Maltese In short every ono of
the twenty guosts brought nt leait one
cat and generally several.
Tho lion and hostess began to look
dubious when tho tenth guest arrived.
On the fifteenth arrival they began to
wonder which would eat most tho
guests or the cats. On the nineteenth
they meditated killing somo of tho cats
to feed tho ether rats. On tho twentieth
arrival thoy felt like putting somo rat-
poIon Into tho food of Iho guosts.
