A San Francisco letter gives the fol lowing story of the man of mystery For twenty years Rogers has lived in this State, and no one to look upon his benign face would imagine him the char acter his many criminal acts prove him to have been. I saw him a few years ago at his country seat in Sonoma coun ty, surrbunded by his family, consisting of a wife and eight children, two of the latter being a step-daughter and son. The young lady is very pretty and a great favorite in society, and the step son is a model of propriety and well liked both by business and social assoc iates. His wife is a charming woman approaching the meridian of life. Time has used her kindly, much more so than the Colonel, who bares the trace of trouble deeply graven in his parch ment like face, and indicated by numer ous deep furrows which the odd sixty years of time have not unaided caused. He stands about six feet in height, is erect and has a soldierly bearing. His hair, or what there is left of it, is snow white, and a silky mustache of the same color adorns his lip. His eyebrows are bushy, and beneath them peer a pair of very restless steel-gray eyes. lie has high cheek bones and a receding fore head. The Colonel has surrounded him self with all the luxuries tliat money can procure, and is very proud of the elegance of his country seat. It is lo cated in the most charming part of the county, about six miles from the little town of Petaluma. The house which may more fittingly be termed a palace, is built of the finest of finished stone and stands in the midst of large grounds surrounded on all sides by grassy lawns, graveled walks and rare exotics. Back as the homestead stretch acres upon acres of the Colonel’s possessions, most of which is in vineyard, producing thousands of gallons of wine each year. It is through his wife that Rogers is connected with J. B. Hoggin’s family, with the family of Lloyd Tevis, and through these families with the Shar ons and Lord Hesketh, of England, who a few years ago married Flora, the youngest daughter of the late Senator Sharon. A very little fellow has a very lively tongue, and talks so much at meals that a recent occasion, when there were 10 be guests at the table, his elder broth er bribed him with a nickel to be still. Africa minutes of silence the little „k v wuispered anxiously to Ins brother, Arthur, Arthur, mayn’t I talk a cent’s worth V Voices From Eternity. “Great is my wisdom,” the old man said, “Great is my knowledge, and vast anl deep; The earth, and the air, and the ocean-bed Have given their secrets for me to keep. With years and honors my locks are crowned, And greater yet shall my glory be!” But a hand came out of the dark profound, And a voice from the depths of Eternity: “Let the pall be spread, And the mourners meet. A laurel for the dead, And a winding-sheet.” “Ah,” said the bride, in her beauty bright, Dancing in time to her light young heart* “We were wedded but yesternight, Never again in the wor.d to part.” But the hand came out of the chill March mist, And rent the lace of her wedding veil; The stars went out, and the winds were wist, And she heard the voice in the shadow’s wail: “A pillow for the head, For the bride is sweet, And a lily for the dead, And a winding sheet.” “I will build a palace so fair, so fair,” Said the youthful king in his royal pride, “That men shall call it bey on 1 compare, And its towers shall triumph o’er time and tide.” But the mighty hand from the dark was thrust, And his ermine robes and the crown of gold Were cast without in the way side dust, And the soLmn voice to the throne was rolled: ‘‘Candles for the head, And candles for the feet, A mausoleum for the dead, And a winding-sheet.” ‘I will sing,” said the poet, “a song so clear, So sweet and mellow, so long and loud, That, earthward turning an envious ear, The lark will pause in the morning cloud. ” But the hand came out of the twilight gray, And broke the strings of his lyre in two, And sealed his lips with a so il of clay, And the voice came down with the falling dew— “ln Heaven, ” it said, “Are songs more sweet; Roses for the dead. But a winding sheet.” “But by and by when the risen souls Go down in their graves for the crumbling clay, And the smoke of the burning world uprolls In the sunset fires of the Judgment Day, The sound of voices the sky shall fill, Os friends that meet, and of foes forgiven, Till the highest stars in the dome shall thrill To the b ended song of the blessed in Heaven: “Crowns for the head, And harps for the hand, • And a flow’ry way to tread. In the morning land. ” A JOKE JNDEED. BY MARGARET EYTINGM. Adrian Mosscroft was in, or very near ly in, the depths of despair. Every thing had been going more or less wrong witli him ever since .the first day of the new year. On that day an adroit pickpock et had relieved him of his gold watch and his wallet, the latter containing his sav ings for several months. I fact ; all the money he had in the world, for Adrian had not begun to save until he met Ethel Burroughs, the pretty buyer of the lace department cf an enormous up town establishment. Shortly after the loss of his fortune he was taken down to his bed with rheumatism, and there he remained for two months, and when he got up again he found himself out of a situation, the firm in whose employ he had been for more than five years having “gone,” as their errand boy expressed it and “busted with the biggest kind of a bust. ’ “What in Heaven’s name am I to do?” asked Adrian of himself one morning as he paced to and fro in the small room he occupied in Mrs. Hasher’s “home for a few select boarders.” “Os course I shall get another situation soon, but I am already in debt, which it will take me a long time to clear f.wiy, and—and confound it, I shan't be able to invite Ethel to go anywhere, or to give her any bouquets, or candles, or books, or any thing else. By jovel I’ve a good mind to ask Aunt Tamasin for a loan. She must be pretty well off, for she used to tip me generously when I was a boy. I’ll do it,—l’m auro she’ll let me have it —and pay her back as soon as I can.” He had just come to this conclusion SAVANNAH, GA.. SATURDAY, MAY 28.1887. when a maidservant knocked at his door and handed in a letter. He tore open the envelope, took out the enclosure and began to read: “My dear nephew’,” he repeated slowly. “Why, this must be from Aunt Tamasin. She’s the only person I’m nephew to. What a strange coincidence 1 In a moment more I should have been writing to her.” Then he went on with the letter. “I am very sorry to be obliged to ask of you the favor lam about to ask. You, as well as all the rest of my relations, have always thought I was rich, al though I have lived all my life in a very simple manner. 1 have never said any thing to the contrary, for 1 have found that being thought rich secures for one a great deal more attention than one would receive if supposed to be poor—a lamentable fact, but a fact nevertheless. ! But this is neither here nor there. Can i you give me twenty-five dollars? If you I can I want them at once. Your mother’s only sister, TAMASIN BROCK. Pippintown, R. 1., April 1, 1886.” “By Jove!” exclaimed Adrian when he had finished reading his aunt’s letter, “wants help from me, and I just on the point of asking a loan from her. Poor old auntie. I wonder what can be the matter. She used to have enough to live on comfortably, 1 know, and how good she was to me when I was a little motherless boy. I ought to be ashamed of myself for not having been to see her for the last five years. Haven’t even written to her. Suppose she thinks I’m a selfish wretch and have forgotten all her kindness. But 1 haven’t and she’s got to have that money. My mother’s only sister and my only aunt. Yc.'i she’s got to have it. But where is it to come from?” Then his eyes brightened as they fell upon his spring overcoat, care fully spread over the back of his chair. “I’ll sell that,” he said. “Jim Turner wants one. He’ll t ike it, and I’ll wear my winter one till warm weather, on ' account of* the rheumatism, I’ll tell the boys. Ha! ha! who’d ever thought I could have a merry thought in connec- j tion with*that pain fiend, the rheuina- | tism. And I’ll pawn my dress suit and I my sealskin cap. I have never pawned j anything and have always declared that I never wouNl, but in this case I must fly to my uncle to get help for my aunt.” He was as good as his word, and that very afternoon a check for $25 went.to Aunt Tam. The third of April dawned bright and i clear, but the air was undeniably chilly I and Adrian’s winter overcoat did not feel at all uncomfortable. And so he was saying to himself when, coming out of the front door of his boarding house, he ran against the postman. “Another let ter for you, sir,” said that functionary. “From Aunt Tam again,” soliloquized Adrian as he glanced at the hand-wr.t ing, “acknowledging the receipt of the check, I suppose; hope it reached the good old lady in time.” He opened the letter—he opened his , eyes—he opened his mouth—he stared like one suddenly gone demented, for this is what he i ead : “You Dear Young April Fool—l received yours dated April 1 with five : and twenty inclosed. I know how you i raised it. I have a spy in the same house I with you. All your misfortunes since the beginning of the year are known to ■ me also, but known to me only lately, or you should have heard from me before. I ‘Now is the time,’ thought I, ‘to try if he ' has really any kind remembrance of his old aunt.’ Ifind you have, and I return you five and twenty dollars with the in terest that has accumulated on them since yesterday.. Go to the City Bank and you will find there awaiting you I $1025. “From yours affectionately, ‘AUNT TAM.’ Pippintown, April 2, 1886.” —Detroit Free Press. Desperate Courage. On the outbreak of the Sepoy mutiny against the English, in 1857, shocking cruelties were perpetrated. The English residents of towns within the limits of the insurrection were massacred; in deed, all India was in a fever of excite ment. Colonel Leevin, in his “Fiy on the Wheel,” says that the magistrate in | charge of the town of Banda narrowly escaped with his life, at the beginning of the excitement. When the storm burst, he was the only European left in j Banda, the other residents having alreadg sought refuge in Futtehpoor. Thi Nawab of Banda, although at heart it sympathy with the mutineers, yet pre served to the last an appearance of loy alty. The magistrate had been informed that a rising was imminent, and wen to the Nawab to exhort him to use al possible influence to quiet the people. Even as they sat talking, there reached them a murmur from the town without, swelling into a shout as the tumuli came nearer. A dead silence fell in th< room, and on locking up the magistral saw that the Nawab was smiling. IL knew then that his only hope lay ir prompt action; so, drawing his revolver, he seized the Nawab by the collar and placed the muzzle against his forehead. “Is a carriage likely to be soon ready for me to depart?” he asked, quietly. “Yes, yes, Sahib; one is now ready,” vociferated the affrighted attendants. “Then we will go at once.” Without relaxing his grasp of the Nawab’s collar, they emerged from the palace, and the imm-nse mob outside hushed their clamor, in terror for the life of their Nawab, and in amazement at the daring of this solitary Englishman. “Now,” said the magistrate to the Nawab, “tell them that if I hear a hoot or an insult, or if any man’s hand is raised against me, that moment will be your last.” The Nawab entered the carriage with him, and they drove off, no one daring to interfere. At twelve miles distance from the city, the magistrate had a horse waiting for him, in case of a sudden emergency; so here he left the Nawab, politely thanking him for the pleasure of his company, and rode off unharmed to Futtehpoor. Increase of Sound by Echoes. Sound is much increased by the echoes in a closed vault. In a cave of the Pantheon, the guide by striking the flap of his great-coat makes a noise like the report of a cannon. The same phenom enon is found in the Mammoth cave of Kentucky. In the cave of Smellin, near Viborg, in Finland, by throwing in a live animal terrible noises are heard. Pliny tells of a similar cave in Dalmatia where the falling of a stone raised a per fect storm. Fingal’s cave, in the island of Staffa, presents another remarkable phenomenon. The end of this cave is dark and gloomy, and may be compared to the channel of the church, while the basil! *c columns may be likened to the organ pipes. At the extremity of the giotto, and near the level of the water, is a small opening whence come bar monious sounds which are produced by the sea rising and falling.—Nature. Persian Jewelry. As goldsmiths and jewelers the Per sians are expert, an 1 jewelry is by no means the exclusive luxury of the rich. In the first p'ac: it is cheap. Tne most skillful jewelers are glad to work for two shillings a day and the profit they can make on the very small amount of solder they are permitted to use. The Persian seldom buys his jewelry ready made; he orders it. When the various pieces have been cast or cut out from the metal supplied by the customer, they are brought to him for inspection and carefully weighed. Then the article il put together, either in the customer’s own house and under his eye or under the supervision of his servant. Then it is again weighed, then chased and finished, the filings and waste being collected and credited to the customer. —[Chicago Tribune. Earthquakes in this Century.

For that very painful affection, in growing toenail, the simplest measure of of relief which has been advocated is th© application of tannin. One who has had many years’ experience with it uses a concentrated solution (an ounce of per fectly fresh tainic acid dissolved with six drachms of pure water, with gentle heat), and has the soft parts around the nail painted twice a day. Two cases re cently had no pain or lameness after the first application, and went about their work immediately, which they could not do before. After about three weeks of this treatment the nail hud grown to its proper length an I breadth, and the cure was complete. No other treatment of any kind was used, though formerly he introduced lint under the ingrowing edge iu such cases. Heep the Body Erect. An erect bodily attitude is of vastly more importance to health than most people generally imagine. Crooked bodily positions, maintained for any length of time, are always whether in the sitting, standing or lying posture, whether sleeping or waking. To sit with the body leaning forward on the stomach, or to one side, with the heels elevated on a level with the hands, is not only in bad taste, but exceedingly detrimental to health. It cramps the stomach, presses the vital organs, inter rupts the free motions of the chest, and enfeebles the functions of the abdominal and thoracic organs, and, in fact, un balances the whole muscular system. Many children become slightly hump backed or severely round shouldered by sleeping with the head raised on a high pillow. When any person finds it easier to sit or stand or walk or sleep in a crooked position than a straight one, such person may be sure his muscular system is badly .deranged, and the more careful he is to preserve a straight or upright position, and get back again, the better. [Chicago Health Journal. A distinguished physician has made the remark that if his “patients would make it a rule to eat a couple* of good orang s before breakfast from Febtiury to June his practice bo gone.” While such a statement Wan be taken literally, there can be no doubt that the more general use of good ripe fruit in the early part of the day would be found beneficial and often prevent illness. Fruit has the composition of a perfect food, containing all the substances re quired for the bo<y. Every one knows that it is a deficiency of the stimulant action of the liver that causes billious ncss. The acid contained in fruits is a much better correction of this trouble than medicine, and come the nearest to a perfect physical development when we rely most upon the food which nature provides for us. From the ripe juicy strawberry iu the spring to the purple grape of the fall we have a constant suc cession of the most healthful of food substances. The real place, however, for fruit is at tne beginning of the meal an t not at the close. It cannot be looked at as a luxury, but as a thing on the side of economy. Strong Affection of Pigs. Pigs, says a writer, have been re peatedly known to attach themselves to individuals or to other animals, and to show the greatest docility, gentleness and affection. Mr. Henderson, the writer of a well-known work on the swine, relates that he had a young sow of good breed so docile that she would suffer his youngest son, 3 years of age, to climb up on her back and ride her about for half an hour at a time or more. When she was tired of the sport she would lay herself down, carefully avoiding hurting her young jockey, who habitu ally shared his bread and meat with her. De Dieskau also cites the case of a wild boar which he caught very young, and which formed such an attachment to a ycunglady residing in the house that he accompanied her wherever she went and slept upon her bed. This affectionate creature fretted himself to death on ac count of a tox which had been taken, into the bouse to be tamed. NO. 32;
