SCENE OF T H E TKAOEDV.

The scene of the terrible tragedy was the new crib, which is intended to con-nect with the new intake. I t is a solid mass of concrete, 80 feet in diameter, and rests on the bottom in 26 feet of water. Surmounting this, above the water line, was a temporary structure of wood, in which was the machinery for tnunoling, supplying the "well" with fresh air and pumping the water out. In this building tho workmen s'ept and

their meals. The air chamber or "WfU" Is in the concrete crib below the \f4ter surface and is only 10 feet in di-ameter and 8 feet deep. I t ia a chamber between the crib and the shaft leading to the tunnel. There are air-tight traps at the top and bottom of the chamber. Com-pressed air is used in the workings in the shaft and tunnel. With the air chamber securely locked, it is said that the only air the men could get would be through a l}{ inch pipe which ran from the chamber up into the house which contained the machinery.

FIFTEEN MEN OAOED.

O In this chamber fifteen men were im-prisoned early Thursday morning. Water slowly advanced on them from the bottom, tho air space grew and less and finally the trap a t the top was opened. Water poured in on the imprisoned men, who were still alive, and only . three or four had strength enough left to sostain themselves a t the top. One by one their strength failed and they dropped into a watery grave. Ouly one man remained long enough to be res-cued by the life-saving crew. The bodies of the other fourteen men are in the well or washed out into the lake,

WIU, INVK8TIOATE. MILWAUKEE, April 22.—The bodies of

ten of the men who were victims of the crib disaster were recovered from the air shaft Friday and now He in the morgue. The remains of two other victims were picked up on the lake shore and are also a t the morgue. Two bodies are still missing. The bodies have all been identified. The bodies not yet recovered are those of Peter Socms, miner, aged 30, single, Chicago, and John McBride, ^engineer, aged 85, married, Chicago.

John William Thomas, assistant keeper of tho Wolf Trep light station near Norfolk, ' Va., which succumbed to ico recently, says ho had an ex-perience calculated to quicken his wits and open his weather eye. Mr. Thomas was alone a t tho station, which Is In twelve foot of water and three miles from the shore, and tho Washington Post finds It easy to appreciate the dreadful forebodings which filled his mind as day af ter day ho watched the thickening Ice, conscious as he was of the great, peril which environed him, hife distress signals unnoticed, with tha t vast field of Ice expending Its mighty power against the piles, and gathering additional strength every moment as It overlapped and piled up against tho doomed structure. To pray In such a crisis was a most natural thing to do, and pray he did, long and fervently," and he fools assured that his prayers wore answered, for It^vas not-very long before he descried In the distance tho smoke of a steamer, battl ing with the ice. Slowly she pro-oeded along until, getting abreast of the station, she was stopped b / t h e thick Ice, Although the steamer was some half mile out toward the ship canal, the nervy keeper deter-mined to abandon the stat ion to its Im-pending fate and make the effort to reach her. Getting upon the untried Ice he proceeded toward her. waving his hat.to at t ract the attention of those on board. W^ieh within balling distayce he called out lustily to the oflicer In command and was told to come aboard, which he did in safety. On leaving the steamer higher up tho bay for tho shore he broke through the Ice In eight feet of water and came nearly being drowned. Tradition has It that Wolf Trap1 derived Its name from the strand-ing of the British man-of-war Wolf on tho bar during the revolution. The lighthouse is ashore at the capes and the lenses are In Richmond. 1

STRANGE SOUNDS.

T h e L a r g e s t A n i m a l s I"lr>. No t A l w a y s l l avn t h o Loudetf t Voices.

It Is a matter of_common observation th-.it tiie loudest sounds aro not always ma le by t'.ic lorgist it l:na e. The roar of the .lou exaec-B inso roro -sn 'ES tlio cry of tho e ephun't , Anyone who had ouly heard, without seeing, a bull-frog might w.'ll suppose t .at its fearful voice, braiiriog the slfcn e of the night, must certainjy come from the throat of an aipmattof fontn^al/le dl..:ens ons.

But perhaps the m st remarkable case of vjcal power In an animal Is tha t related by a re ent traveler in the high-lands of Do'rneo- He was iaf-jrmcd by nutiv.-s t i n t they had hoard a tiger roaring In tho neighborhood. Su h news is always startling to a stranger in the jung'esof t e east and hardly less to the natives

An Investigation was*according"y set on foot, wrfioh«resalto.l in the discovery that the alanning roars had been emitte l by a toadl This tea lof Borneo, however, was y no means an o dlnary meal ie r of the faml y. It m asurejl no Vf ; fourteen and one-half inches round t e body.

That t h j natives should not have reeogalzed the true sou roc of the sound shows that tho exiatoace of such toads «vaa either un ;nown to thorn, or that , at any rate, they had never discovered the remarkable VAUI oapabllitlesof the an-Imals.

This MOttlls a story In Mr. Pates' ac-'ddWnt ot his travels along- the Amazon. Ar jqng the many sounds heard in tho dLpse Brazilian forests was a kind of loud metallic clank.ng, that sometimes rang through the trees, ami the origin of whfch Mr. Bates was Bnable to dis-cover. Whenever it was heard the na-tives cowered with fear, ascribing i t to a supernatural origin.

Bosslbly the noise was so loud that they misse'd the dl^overy of Its source by searching only for something of cor-responding physical dimensions.

"Paper read by W. H. Murphy ut the Farmers Institute: ;

The first principle of good roads Is good drainage; no drainage no road. Drainage is the fault of most of our bad roads, but wo must add something to help the drainage, we must grade our road-beds up so that the top of the road-bed is from 2i to 8 feet above bottom of drain, BO the road-bed will be fit for grav-el; and the most of our roads can be put in shape for grayel for abbut $100 per mile.

tfow for the gravel. We ftan gravel (^ur roads in good shape, hauling the gravel one mile for |275 per mile and by adding} to this am' unt fort.ny addition-al mile we can tell what It will cost, and as there is plenty of gravel in this coun-try I don't see any reason why we should not have good roads, for . good gravel makes good roads, we(know that by i x -perience; and I would recommend that the following law, that is now optional be made oompuUory, which will be found in Township Officers Guide, chap-ter 2, part 6, sect. 108, which reads aa followa:

The qufclifted electors of any township of this state, who do not reside, in any incorporated village, may. by a majority vote Of those voting, determine that the highway tax shall be assessed on a money basis and paid in money instead of labor, as Is provided by chapters £ and 3 of this act,—How. Stat.,1854. '

Now I think If this act was made compulsory, so that the work could be pi'operly and honestly done, there would be a great change for the better in our roads in a very short time. Also that there be a severe penalty for obstruct-ing the' road ditches io any manner whatever, as It has got to be a diaease with a good many to smooth and beauti-fy the looka of their places at the road-aide, at.the expense of tho road dltchea and so long as that ia done we cannot have go&d roads as thcAwater must have a chance to get away. We want a little change in the law and plenty of gravel and we will soon have good hard roads.

To have our statute books filled up with very fine roads, made hard and smooth, looks fin^ on paper, but it Is^iot worth a cent to haul heavy loads on, or to take your best girl out riding on. I think each fownahip should take care of their own roads and t» gravel aa fast as they can get the road in s'hape for It."

If you havd a long trip to take or heavy loads to haul, you should not de-lay too long, for the day draweth apace when the average path master (but master of jiotblng else in the road line) will gather together hla little group of old men and boys, colt teams, old wagons and plowa, broken acrapers, etc., preparatory to "working" on the road. Of course the old plow must be used, but not for the good of the roade, the central idea being to "put in as much time as possible. Thus tho 50 cent plow Is made to earn {?; $1 per day and to tear up tho high waya so as to make th^m almost Impassable for the balance of the aeason. As before stated If you have a long tr ip to take or heavy loada to haul you ahould not delay—for an attack on the roada will eoon be made all along the line.—Charlotte Tribune,

It takes eighty men and women to make a postage stamp. First the white paper Is cutlnCo thin sheets large enough for oi^e hundred atampe. The stamps on each sheet are counted twenty-six times to make, sure the 'number is correct. The printer counts and passes the sheet to the gummer; the gummer gums the back, and having cobnted, gives it to the perforator, who divides the stamps by rows of little holes, not forgetting to count. I t Is surprising how quickly and accurately the hands uaa work. Seven hundred milliona of postage atampa are made every year in the United States. -Ex.

disastrous cyclone comes.fresh damage caused by tho drenching rain, which sot In Thursday evening and con-tinued all through the n i g h t Tho work of repairing and in some cases rebuilding wrecked buildings has been crowded along, but still there are many cases wflere It has be«n an Impossibility to re-pair the damaged property. When the rain, set In efforts were njade to cover up'exposed property with canvas, oil-cloth and tar paper, In fact any-th ing that would shed water. This temporary covering was soon blown away by the high wind which pre-vailed, and In Spite of all tha t could bo done torrents of water poured In and flooded all below. Men were busy all night long In their efforts to protect exposed property. , The Scharf tag factory stock Is In bad shape. It was Invoiced recently a t 140,000. Cook & llro vn, furniture, suf-fer hqavlly; also Hplbrook, groceries. Tho post office is afloat, and It Is almost Impossible to get into It for mail. I t Is estimated tha t the loss will be from 840,000 to $70,000.

DETROIT, A p r i l 21. — W e d n e s d a y night's rain and windstorm was general throughout eastern Michigan and was one of the worst experienced for many years. At Wyandotte "the storm be-came a hurricane and continued to rege until 9 o'clock Thursday morning. All the docks and boathouses which stood on the banks of the river were moro or less damaged, mos- of the latter being totally wrecked. The loss Is estimated at 118,000. t

At Oscoda the tremendous wind car-ried away a portion of Gratwlck, Smith & Fryer's Lumber company's dock, also Tanner 's dock, and with It 500,000 feet of white pine lumber, the total loss being over 87,000.

G R A N D R A P I D S , April 22.—Several Inches of enow fell Friday morning. Many young lambs and other stock have been killed throughout the county.

CHEBOYGAN, A p r i l 2 1 . — T h e s t o r m played sad havoc in this city. The new Cheboygan hotel was partly unroofed, together with mltny othor buildings; lumber was blown Into the river and lake, and the docks were badly dam-aged. The loss will amount to several thousand dollars.

ORIENTAL MAGIC.

F a k i r s W h o Come to L i fe A f i e r M o u t h s of K i i t o m b m u n t .

"The stories of the remarkable power of tho Oriental adepts to bury them-selves for month's have not been ex-aggerated in tho least," said Archibald C, Lewellyn, a Br I Ionian, whose ruddy tan and sturdy frame bespoke the ex-posure and trials of many lands, to the Washington News.

"When I first went to India some years ago, like every other white man I was absolutely Incredulous as to the ability of any man on earth to be hermetically sealed in a box and burled underground for six months, or six hours, for that matter.

"One day my dhlnga told me of a fakir who had jnst come Into tho little village, who, be said, could perform the f e a t After a great deal of ceremony and by dint of a liberal bribe we set alvnit to bury Ihe yellow-skinned old r:is3:il. lie was not a very lova*We objost, and I would have about as little tr n'blo on ray conscience in killing him as any human being I over saw. but *1 felt like an accessory to a murder as wo lowered him into a trench in my garden and heard the plunk of earth upon bis colUn. lie was swathed in bandages from bead to foot. He had drawn hira-f eif up lyto a ball, had rolled back his tongue Into bis throat, stuffed his ears and nostrils with soft wadding, and was apparontlv dead ten minutes af ter lie began bis ifnul preparations.

"I put a white guard over that grave night and day for six months. At the end of that time, as agreed, the natives gathered togctlipr and I sent for the •dcors of our mess and we dug him up. If I had seen Moses rcsurrcctod. If .luUu%CtC3ar wero t,» walk down Penn-sylvania avenue, I would not bo more aiitonlshcd than 1 was when I saw that fakir, lie was .covcrcd with mold, and. while perfectly inanimate, had not decayed.

The number of steps In the process of making a photograph which call for tho exordse of the same artistic powers that must be possessed by the painter will bo surprising, says a writer in the New England Magazine. Tbo artist-photographer must select his picture with reference to Its composition of lines, masses of light, shade and tex-ture. By his choice of lens, he deter-mines the width of angle or tho scope of the picture. In focussing and dia-phragming, ho divides his definition and his vagueness to suit tho require-ments of his sense of pictorial beauty.

The house of commoifs now scruples | to adjourn on account of derby day; but ! In early times it indulged in a holiday i upon occasions which modern readers •must comuder still more strangely inad-i equate. Horace Walpole mentions in i his Tuemoirs that in March, the

house adjourned to attend a t Drury Lane theater, where Othello was to be

| acted by n Mr. Delaval nnd his family. Again,' in February, ' 1731. a bill intro-duced by Mr: Burke, with reference to

1 the civil list, was read a first time; but the second reading was deferred to that

j day fortnight, "because the 21st was to ' he a feast day, and the '2'Jd was the ben-! efitof Mme. Vestris, the favorite French i dancer at the opera."

Even when in session, says Clftim-bers' Journal, the hoUse was much given to amuse itself with petty or friv-olous incidents, as Is shown by some singular entries preserved in.the official records. Under date May. 1(504, it is noted that a jackdaw flfew in a t the window. This was considered ominous, and apparently i t proved n bad omen for tho bill 'in debate, as the measure was soon afterward rejected. Again, W3 -are told by the veracious state, chron-icler that in May, 1014, "a^log came into the houso, a strange spaniel, mouse-colored."

About one hundred and seventy years later it is recorded that another canine intruder entered the house, taking his seat before the speaker and alt the gov-ernment Not content to remain a si-lent spectator, the dog joined in the proceedings by barking loudly. Lord North, then prime minister, was speak-ing, and jocularly appealed to the speaker, saying: "Sir, I am interrupted by a new member." The dog, un-abashed, did not take the hint, but re-sumed his barking, whereupon the good-humored premier kept up the joke, protesting that "the new member had no right to -peak twice in the same de-bate." In much more recent times al-most equally trifling episodes have been known to relieve mightily the tedium of political contention.

"Johnnie, when will your sister be down? I'm get t ing awfully tired of waiting." said one of the homeliest young men in Harlem to his best girl's brother.

LANMKo.April 21.—The greatest finan-cial crisis Lansing has ever experienced was successfully passed Wednesday, and a feeling of conlldonee nnd secur-ity once more prevails. Tho run which compelled the Central Mich-igan savings bank to close its doors Tuesday caused the wild-est excitement among the depositors of all the other banks in the city, and it was evident that/ with the commence-ment of banking hours Wednesday morning trouble would be renewed. Realizing the condition of affairs, tho officers of all tho othor banks fortified themselves against a run by calling in a large amount of cash and deciding to take advantage of the. ninety days' no; tice relative to savings deposits.

When the excitement was at its height State Hank Commissioner Sherwood appeared a t the entrance of the bank-and assured the crowd that their interests would be amply protect-ed, that the bank was in bet-ter condition than it had been for years and had on hand sufficient

cash to pay every dollar of its demand deposits. He advised them to go about their business and let business proceed quietly. This had the effect of dispers-ing the crowd, and from that moment the crisis was passed. Not a bank in the city was thereafter disturbed.

Commissioner Sherwood has pro-gressed so far in his examination of the Central Michigan savings bank's af-fairs as to warrant the s tatement tha t the bank is entirely solvent and that there is no possibility of the depos-itors losing a dollar. The directors have decided to effect a reorganization with an increase of capital stock from 905,000 to 9200,000. Subscriptions to the stock of the reorganized institution have been solicited with flattering suc-cess.

Neither the iron works nor lumber company has prepared a statement of its affairs for publication. 0. M. Barn«5s, the mortgagee, is more than ever convinced of his abijity to suc-cessfully handle their busiress and pay dollar for dollar, and this belief is shared in by all the cred-itors and citizens generally. He has accumulated a fortune estimated at 93,500,000 to 98,000,000, and there is not a doubt expressed that he can pay dol-lar for dollar, should things shape themselves that it may be necessary to put up funds for the several enterprises iu which he is interested, anfi still have a fortune l e f t

One very humble officeholder of the | senate force will probably be left in his 1

accustomed place. John •Brown, the wood-carrier, is the most picturesque as well as one of the oldest attaches of tho , wimto. Ho wears a tall, shaggy cap; his clothes are the color of the wood he carries, and ^lis face has the same ma-hogany hue. On his back and shoul-ders is a hod, like a large brick hod. al- ! ways piled with such a load of wood i that his old frame bends under i t The expression on his face has become stolid i from hard work, and no one ever 1

catches him smiling. He tradges in nnd ont of committee rooms all day, 1

and-even on many a winter night till morning, to pile up tho wood tha t burns next day for the pleasure of sen-ators and their friends. There is an open fireplace in every committee room, as without this the badly ventilated parts of thecapitol would be dangerous in their dampness. John Brown tends all the fires on the senate side, and# steals in and out of committee rooms so quietly tha t he is hardly thought of; but Kate Field's Washington says he is an artist at his trade and can make a fire burn when no one else is able to. Lately a woodpile fell on him, breaking his leg, and a few people who had an idea John Brown was getting old and useless found it took two young men to do his work, and then they growled all the time because they had too much to do.

John had remained undisturbed for years in his place, no one having tried to oust him, except once. Sergeant-at-Arms Bright onco found the pressure j upon him for places so great that in des-peration he decided to discharge John. He sent for him and the old wood-car-rier came shuffling in.

"Yo' want me, Mistah Bright?" asked he.

"Yes, John; I wanted to tell you I'm going to discharge you."

"Wha's dat, Mistah Bright? Dis-charge me? Oh, go 'long, Mistah Br igh t T ain't got time to talk wid you. Go 'long." And John Brown put on his cap, shouldered his hod and shuffled out, still muttering tha t he had no time to talk of "sich trifling nonsense."

Mr. Bright was surprised, but t h a t was the last attempt ever made to oust John, who is now considered indis-pensable.

A writer in tho Pittsburgh Dispatch f rankly confesses that he doesn't like men like the late "Squire Abindon" Baird any more than his neighbors do, but he cannot refrain from telling the following story which came under his own notice:

Jus t af ter Baird won the Derby wi th Merry Monarch in the jubilee year, he was accosted on the street one night by a pallid wretch who asked for alms. Bairddooked fixedly a t the gaunt fellow, whose eyes were dim and horrible to look into, and asked the man who and what he was. Ho said he had been an •engraver, but owing to partial loss of eyesight had gone down hill until ho was about a t the bottom. "Where do you live?" asked Baird. The man named a street down Whitechapel way, and Baird, hailing a four-wheoler, pushed the beggar and a man who had been with the squire into the vehicle and told the cabman to drive to the place. This

was early in the evening. About mid-night Baird turned up, looked grave and perfectly sober. He stalked up to a par ty of racing men, some of whom had witnessed his departure, and was greeted with numerous jests and ques-tions. Baird, in his heavy wny. gave back retor t for jest and swallowed a big glass of brandy. Then he called his secretary to one side and said: "Look here, I've seen something awful. A man, his wife and eight children living or dying in one dirty hole of a room and nothing to oat—and damme if they ain't honest yet. To-morrow I want you to go somewhere down the river into the country and rent a cottage for twenty years in the name of this fellow's wife and fix up an annuity that ' l l give 'em a Viit to buy bread and coal with. I can't get that woman's face out of my head, nor the children either, poor devils, and I'm blessed if thcyifihan't have a breath of fresh air and a chance to stay honest. You arrange it, mind you, to-morPow, and fetch me the papers to sign if I for-get it." .

While a gentleman was at his office desk a day or two ago one of those dis-reputable insects ran across the paper on whitjh he was writing. He Hipped it against the wall with his finger and it bounded back on the desk, lighting upon its back. I t remained motionless for some time, until it recovered from the shock, and then endeavored to get upon its feet again, but in vain. Smaller roaches passed by their pros-trate brother, evidentl}- without notic-ing it, but a larger one came along pretty soon, stopped, went over to the one that lay upon its back, straddled across it, and, giving it a#quick jerk with its forelegs, landed it deftly upon its feet, and the two disappeared to-gether over the *idge of the desk.

In an address to young men in New York the other evening a clergyman illustrated the importance of persistent agitation as follows:

In a can of milk bound for market were two frogs. One of the frogs be-came despondent and said: "What is the use of kicking any more? I'm going to the bottom," and he went. The other one kep t up a deliberate kicking/ and when tlv. can was opened at the end of the journey he was found to be alive. He had kicked so hard that he had churned opt a piece of butter, and he was floating on i t

Gentle hands had raised and borne her to the bed in the room she was evidently just about entering when suddenly halt-ed by some mysterious cause. Here, when restored to consciousness, an al-most hysterical attack of laughing and weep'ng had foUowed upon her prostra-

But Holden had known her for s u y e a n and felt well assured she was not of the stuff that Is easily stricken with terror. With every confidetn* in her veracity in general he did not iu the least believe lier now. The more lie studied tbe matter he felt^that she waa hiding something from tnem one and all. even from Jennie, whom she dearly loved and whom ordinarily she frankly trusted. It was evident that Jennie too, believed, as did her husband, the doctor, that there was something behiiul it all. But Jennie was gone. aud. exivpi possibly Roife, there was no one to aid him in his search af ter the truth Rolfe's heart was now so shrouded in its own gloom that any phas^, of tragedy seemed credible. Rolfe evidently wanted to know Holden's suspicions or surmises, and again and again led up to the sub ject: but of all men iu the garrison much as he esteemed him. Rolfe sHeined hardly the man to make a confidant of now. Was he not Nita's avowed though rejected lover?

Of course, no time had been lost in making investigation on the night ol the occurrence. Even while the doctor and others were raising the IIIICOUHCIOUS girl from the floor, half a dozen officers were scouring the premises for signs ol intruders and had found absolutely nothing. The room occupied by Miss Guthrie in the doctor's house was imme diately. to the left at the bead of the stairs. The hall was broad, tbe landing roomy. It waa one of the oldest sets of quarters at the post, and an oddity in its way. Entering the door of the reai room on the east, three windows ap peared. two opening at tbe back and one at the side. The two at the back looked out over the roof of the reai porch. It waa perfectly practicable for any one with a ladder to have clam bered

i to this roof, and. had the blinds been , open, peered in the windows at theocca i pant But there was no ladder. What I was more, the blinds were tight shm and bolted on the insido The shades within were drawn down, and the bice curtains looped over each.

Between them stood a long, old fash iorM mirror above the toilet table draped with lace curtains very much as were the windows themselves No one from without could have been visible to any one within No one within could have been seen by any one without. Moreover, the Holdens' cook—an indom-itable Irishwoman—was on the back porch at the moment of Miss Guthrie's fright saying good night to Corporal Murphy, who had long been Kathleen's devoted admirer, and both stood ready

But to the trained physician it was evident she had received a severe shock Despite her pleadings Dr. Holden .had re fused to allow her to attempt the )onr ney until three days had elapsed, durine which lime, though she laughed al nun and laughed at herself, her condition toutinued so nervous and excitable thai he would not permit visitors to nee bei This was pretty hard treatment, thonghi her jnany lady friends at the post, Wit he was wise and they could only obey When the evening came for the depar ture a large conringent ladies and ofii cers both, assembled to say farewell, and Nita, Mrs. Holden, each of the children and even the nurse could have bad two or three escorts to the train. Bnt no one had opportrnity to say mnch to the cen tral figure of all this sympathetic inter est. Only at the hist moment did she appear, and was ushered almost instant l y t o the waiting carriage by Holden

doctor had turned his attention to the window s t **•* side, and here there was possibility of explanation.

As has been said, the Holdens' house was one of the oldest at the old frontier tort, bul so solidly and substantially had it been built that, when others were con-demned and ordered replaced along the

decorated it were ordinarily closed ex-cept when thia. one of their two guest chambers, was occupied. Shades and lace curtains similar to those at the rear windows draped it within, so that from the interior this side door presented al-most the same appearance as the win-dows themselves, and it stood directly opjtosite the hall door

But Miss Guthrie had become enthusi-astic over the lovely view down the Pawnee valley from that sitte gallery. She waa frequently to be been there. She had gone ont for one farewell look as the valley lay flooded in the light of the full moon, and this was immediately after changing her dress. SL.* was exclaiming over k- beauty as arrayed for her jour ney she came dancing down the stall's to join her hostess and tho excited children in the parlor She suddenly missed her gloves, remembered that she had left them in her room, had scurried up the stairs, had reached the landing at the top, but never entered her room at all, when there waa heard that awful shriek of terror and a heavy fall Holden at the instant was in his ywn room, the rear room on the opposite side of the house, and was changing his best nnl-. form into something more suitable for a run down to-tbe railway

This had delayed him u second or two, so that' lirewsttr and Randolph, two of the most acuve of the junior officers, were foremost at his beds as he flew np the stairs His first care was for Nita, but the youngsters had bounded into the room and out ou the gallery, as though expecting to overtake some intruder there. The side door was wide open, the shade pp. tho lace curtains drawn apar t If any one had been in the roo;:i escape to the gallery was easy enough, b it from there there was practically none except by a leap of fifteen or twenty feet !o the hard ground below. No one ha l run out. either front or back, for Murphy: nd the Irish cook were at tthe rear on : ;e east side, the rushing swarm of offict.-s at the front- If any one had hidden there escape unobserved was well nig!; impossible. No one was found—no trpce of any one. Indeed, when N ita was per-mitted to talk she vowed that no one hyl been there. She herself had I ft the blinds, door and curtains open as she came in from the moonlit gallery, had turned out her lamp and desceuded the Blaira. The gallery doorway could not be seen from where she fell, and as all was darkness in the room itself, how could she have seen any one?

Out on the gallery, of course, any one

would have been revealed, thanks to the brilliancy of the fnll moon, almost as in the broad glare of day: but one had to be at the hall door or in the square room Itself in order to see the gallery at all. and Nita declared, as before, that she had not reached the door. What she fanciod was a ghost, bathed in a pale, cold l igh t was probably the white curtains ot the rear windows. Bnt the light—whence came that? .

In many of oqr cities and large towns the most noticeable structure is (the government building. There are now nearly four hundred such buildings scattered through the country. The number has been greatly increased in recent years, and the expenditure for construction has become a large an-nual item in the appropriation bills of congress.

In 1691 the amount expended on this account was more than four million eight hundred thousand dollars, which was one-fifth as much as all the ordi-nary expenditures of the government in 1840. This great extension of the sys-tem has taken place gradually, but the policy seems now to be firmly estab-lished.

Within proper limits, says Youth's Companion, it is an extremely reason-ble system. In a little town the rent of a corner in a store for a post office amounts to almost nothing. The town grows, and the post office requires larger quarters—a whole floor on the street level in the center of business. The town transforms itself into a city, land and rents increase, and the expense for the hire of a building, which must

WORDSWORTH ON WOMEN.

The Oreat Poet Did Not Like Literary Women.

Wordsworth indulges not infrequent-ly in caustic remarks on women who write, towards whom he always re-tained a rooted objection. I t is said that after Miss Martineau took up her residence in his neighborhood, this ab-horrence to authoresses sometimes took sUch active expression tha t tbe deaf lady was frequently obliged to see what she could not hear, and, perforce, to recognize tha t her presence was un-welcome a t Rydal Mount She herself, however, cmakes no mention of any-thing of the kind, wheif alluding to the Wordsworths and her intercourse with them.

On ono occasion, says the Cornhill Magazine, a f te r unsparingly condemn-ing a work by Miss Sedgwick, be con-cludes his criticism thus: "Such produc-

PBOVKUIIS. — A proverb is a short pithy sentence often repeated, express-ing a well-known t ruth or common fact ascertained by experience or observa-tion. The Hebrew term for proverb, Mashal, denotes properly a representa-tion. a statement not relating solely to a single f ac t hut standing for or repre-senting other similar facts. It means a comparison, and it is highly probable tha t all proverbial sayings were a t first literally comparisons. l)r. Oort con-jectures tha t some of our proverbs were originally current amonjf the people a s ^ ' riddles. Such, for instance, as: "What is sweet as honey?" Ans. "Pleasant discourse, for it is sweet to the soul, and a medicine to the bones" (10:24); "What is worse than meeting a bear?" Ans. "Meeting a fool in a fit of folly" (17:12). A proverb Is a large amount of wisdom wrapped up in the fewest words. It isa fortune in a single diamond. The genius, w i t and spirit of a nation are discovered in its prov-erbs. They arc the salt-pits of a na-tion; treasured preservatives against corruption. The wit of one—the wis-dom of many. The Spaniards. In whose language they abound, call them "Lit-tle Gospels."

The reason for this is, perhaps, that in the early days government buildings were chiefly fo r the offlces of collectors of customs,- who are under the secretary of the treasury, and only incidentally for post office use.

No doubt the eagerness of communi-ties to obtain a costly and ornamental building a t the government expense has caused this system to be abused. At-tempts have been made to lay down certain conditions which must be satis fled before a town or city shall be deemed to need a government building.

Thus, i t might be required t h a t the population shall be so many, or t b e re-ceipts of the post offlce so much, or that ; feet away.

ITS CHARACTKB.—The Book of Prov-erbs belongs to what modem critics call the wisdom literature, including Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes and Solo-mon's Song. It approaches human things and things divine from quite another side ithau the Prophets or the Psulnis. It is the philosophy of practi-cal life. It is the sign to Li that the Bible does not despLse common sense and disaretion.' It impresses upon us in : the most forcible manner the value of in-telligence and prudence and of a good education. Above all, it insists over 1

Pleaanma of U i e In India.

A band of poisoners is believed to be a t work on the railways in the North-west Provinces, says a Bombay paper. There have been during the past few months a large number of deaths in carriages among the native third-class passengers traveling on tbe East Indian railway. The bodies are handed over, by the railway authorities to "he police, who dispose of them as expeditiously as possible. In most cases there is little or no property found, on the bodies, not even railway tickets, and generally they are found in an empty carriage. These facts do not appear to have awakened thc suspidons of the police, or perhaps they have recognized their incompctenee to prevent or detect such crimes. As, however, the native passen-gers contribute over ninety per cen t ol coaching receipts, i t is high time some efforts were made to afford them pro-tection for their l ife and property.

TOBACCO-LOVING ANIMALS.

Cariona EITecU of t h e S m o k e o n Variooa Qnadrnpeda.

In the Berlin zoological gardens, Prof. Baul Meyerheim. a painter of animal life, has been trying the effects of the f ragrant weed on various deni-zens o l the gardens, with results as novd a s they are undoubtedly amusing. Chiel among the subjects ol his experi-ments was the brown bear. He de-darea, .according to J 'earson's Weekly, that the "common brown bears" arc genuine enthusiasts fcr tobacco.

"V.'hcn I pull my cigar smoke into their cage," he remarks,- "they rush to thc f r o n t rubbing their noses and backs against the bars through which the smoke has penetrated."

T h c p r o f e s s o r , w i t h s o m e t e m e r i t y . once experinented on the lion. The creature was asleep, and this was the moment sdocted for puffing a volume of tobacco smoke in his face. Did he a t once wake up with a savage, growl, lash his tail, and, springing a t the bar. shake the massive iron?

N o t a l a l L He awoke and "stood on his legs," which seems a natural-enough j had existed before his day,and then made att i tude to a d o p t and "sneezed power- them his own. Nor would it be strange fully." Then he qpietly lay down on if to the earlier collection of Solomon his ride and "elevated hia no>e fcr a sec- other proverbs had been added, just as ond doee." I t may be news to «ome to the new Webster's dictionary tha t now

hcrcncc to thc politbal economy and spirit of that collection of apothegms and essays would do more to eradicate from a people the causes of extra va-gance, debasement and ruin, than all the contributions to political economy of Say. Smith. Malthus and Chalmers together. The book, as a whole, may be called the book of divine common sense: tl .al is. a book of instruction con-cen.ing behavior in the common trans-rvti^ns of life, in which the thought of God and of liL; continual presence holds the chicf place. While no Christian can "help seeing the poetic foreglcam of Christ in the great monologue of Wisdom in chapter S," yet other parts of the book furnish abundant justifica-tion of t a a t type of ChrLstianity which accepts but does not dweU on forms, so bent is it upon moral applications of the religious prindple. They show tha t the fear of the Lord is quite com-

| patible with a deep interest in average : human life and human nature. I t ! charges us not to love God less, but man 1 more.

ALTUOB.—A large number of the proverbs are evidently by Solomon, as

1 the inscriptions state. But this does I not exdude the idea that Solomon

may have gathered much from previous , wisdom. Tbe human race did not ex-j ist a t least 3,000 years before his time I without coining many proverbs. So

A Story of * FUb'a ICemarkable Tenaci-ty of Life.

Dr. Shirely Palmer tells a fish story tha t is calculated to make the members of the S t Louis Hunting and Fishing association (to use a strictly original expression), " tu rn green with envy." By some book or crook, hook no doub t Mr. Palmer came into possession of a fine brace of tench. They were a live-ly pair of finny beauties when the doc-tor took them home with the idea of slaughtering them for his Sunday din-ner. Placing them in a pail of water he put them into the larder and thought no more about the matter. That night a t midnight he was aroused, so he says, by a groan proceeding from the afore-said larder. Inspection of the room ex-plained the mystery. One of the fish had sprung from the basin or pail and lay gasping upon the floor, every now and then uttering sounds similar to those which had disturbed Mr. Palmer.
