SECRET CORRESPONDENCE.
Blind Docking- Document a That May
Hava Hidden Meaning:-;.
Fror. i the Detroit Free Press.
“Speaking of cipher writing," said a de
tective, rummaging among the pajiei's in
nis dusk,” here is one of the simplest J have
ever seen, and yet, unless you understand
the method on which it is constructed, no
doubt it will be a puzzler to you.'’
He pointed out an adveitisement in the
“Wants. Miscellaneous” column of a New
York lianer. Tbe advertisement was merely
the collection of figures given below, without
address or signature:
•• 334-mil4nf444a?U?S!RC4l4onul*B3Jl4a|
531014. , H23841i4i1''1’W4V5J431iU?1345131132!i5a83M
4*434444421 1218343231 14285.”
The reporter had given some attention to
the solving of cryptographs, but after puz
zling over the foregoing for half an hour he
had to acknowledge it was a notch above
" don’t believe that it has any meaning.
In my opinion it is merely an arbitrary col
lection of figure*.”
"If the thing is meaningless, why should
any man pay good money to have it pub
lished as an advertisement I Do you give it
up/
"Well, it reads;
" ‘Could not make it. Jack has gone to
Hoboken. Will follow by first train.
Kharp.’ ” . . .
"I will take your word for it, of coui-se,
but I can’t see now those figures mean any
thing of the kind.”
"bit down. Have a cigar and make your
self comfortable. I want to give you a few
wrinkles. The life of a successful detective
is not what the general public imagines it
to lie. Circumstances do not play into his
harpls in real life like they do in the detec
tive stories published in popular story papers.
Not a bit of it. Every great hit is the result
of careful study and painstaking, such as
would surprise you if you could be brought
to an adequate understanding of them.”
“All very good. But what has this to do
with making English out of this bunch of
figures f”
"It has this much to do with it. The
better educated class of criminals systemat
ically correspond with each other by means
of secret writing, and one of the first things
that a good detective must learn is the aid
of cryptography, or steganography, as some
call it. I just wanted to give you to under
stand that every slugger with a sledgeham
mer fist cannot be made into a detective.
There are some nice points in the business
that can be mastered only by brain work,
and this is one of them.
"The minute I put my eyes on that adver
tisement I suspected that it was written on
an old Greek method with which I am
thoroughly familiar, and which requires
that every letter be represented by two
figures. Someone letter previously agreed
'upon (which in this case I found” to be J)
is dropped from the alphabet, and repre
sented by two ciphers—-leaving twenty-five
letters remaining. These twenty-five let
ters are arranged in the form of ”a square,
thus:
12 3 4 5
a f 1 q v—l
b g m r w—:2
c n n s x—3
and i o t y—4
e k p u z—s
' “And each letter is symbolized by the
figures found by the intersection of a verti
cal with a horizontal row. Is that plain to
you;
“Not exactly.”
“It will be in a minute. To find the figures
for “a,’’ we take its vertical figure, which is
1; then its horizontal figure, which is l
again; putting 1 and 1 together, we have 11;
‘bj’by the same means, is found to be 12;
Sj is 11; ‘w’ is 53, and so on.
. “Of course, this square can be modified in
a hundred different ways, perhaps, by read
ing the figures backward ana placing 5'
over ‘a,’ 4 over ‘l,’ 3 over ‘g’ and 1 over ‘v.’
“There is another system of secret WTiting
upon which we have not touched at all. It
consists of the hiding of significant words in
a sentence of good English, and I know of a
case fn this city where’this style of writing
was used between a young lady and a gen
tlemen who had been forbidden by the
lady’s father to see her, and used to" such
purpose that the pair were married. Here
is one of the young lady’s notes. What do
you think of’it?”
The note was written in a ladv’s delicate
hand on a small sheet of gilt-edged paper.
The sheet was embellished at the top with
an embossed initial W., and the writing
was:
George: I wish you would forget me. I can
not ana will not see you to-night or again, in
the par Ivor at home, without papa’s permission,
which he tells me will never be given.
She reporter could not see much hope for
tho lover in the foregoing document until
his attention was drawn to some infinitesi
mal figures in the lower left-hand corner of
the paper, so small as to be almost invisible,
but when pointed out were plaiuly seen to
be 12, 12, 14, 15. 10, 19, 20, 21.
“Now read that note again, omitting
Every word but tho first, second, twelfth,
I'urteenth, fifteenth, sixteenth, nineteenth,
twentieth and tho twenty-first, and you will
find that it reads:
“ ‘George, I will see you to-night in the
park.’
“But that sort of thing is all child’s play,
bend mo your penen. and go and look
nut of the window for about five minutes.
' When you come back 1 will show you a
cryptogram written on a system that is ab
solutely indecipherable by those not in the
secret."
The reporter did as he was bidden, and
when th.e five minutes were elapsed the de
tective handed him a long strip of paper, on
which were written tire characters follow
ing. In the manuscript the characters were
written in one long column, but for the sake
of economizing space the lower half of the
column is printed here/ to the right of the
upper half:

A DOVER’S HARD LINES.
13oaten and Chopped With a Meat-
Saw by the Parents of His Girl.
From tire Philadelphia Press.
William Stanton, a tall young man, built
on fine lines, who lives down at Twentieth
and Federal streets, had his head repaired
yesterday. He at first thought he had run
his head agajnst a buzz-saw, but it was only
a meat-saw In the hands of tho irate father
of his girl. The vigilant father had used
the saw on the boycotted lover while the
mother of tbe girl slugged Stanton in a
vigorous manner.
The watchful parents are Mr. and Mrs.
J allies McCormick. They live at the north
west comei- of Twentieth and Eaton a
streets, where Mrs. McCormick, a matron
of stalwart build, carries on the business of
a butcher. There are three young Miss Mc-
Cormicks. dark-haired, buxom, good-jooking
girls. There have been many gallant lads
of the Twenty-sixth ward willing to be con
sidered friends of the two elder McCormick
lasses, but Billy Stanton and his brother
seemed to be the favorite admirers of the
girls.
Mrs. McCormick believes that it is her
undeniable right to superintend the court
ship of her girls, and she and Mr. McCor
mick made a “combine” and put a boycott
on the Stantons in favor of two down-town
youths who came nearer what Mrs. McCor
mick considers the ideal son-in-law. Wil
liam Stanton has a big bump of goaheadi
tiveness and he continued to call to see his
Miss McCormick. The mother told him to
never again pull the china door-bell of the
McCorrnick mansion.
Last Saturday night the dauntless lover
appeared at the house.
His girl was talking of summer picnics
with the “other fellows,” and the heart
broken but courageous Stanton turned to
go, w hen Mrs. McCormick caught him. He
was making a quiet and dignified retreat,
when Mrs. McCormick, it is alleged, struck
him and threw him into the roadway. He
went away, but the fates later in the night
drove him back. The other and more for
tunate lover had not gone home, and Stan
ton stood concealed behind an awning post
when Mrs. McCormick saw her enemy.
Reinforced by Mr. McCormick, she
defied tbe crushed but uncon
quered Stanton to come over to
the butcher shop. He went. Tho
sequel is now paid of the police records of
the Seventeenth district. He had only put
his foot on the pavement, when Mrs. Mc-
Cormick began to beat him with her
clenched hands. At the same time Mr. Mc-
Cormick, armed with a meat-saw, which he
used as a weapon, joined in the melee, cut
ting the unfortunate lover and mating the
blood run.
While Mr. Stanton was writhing under
the combined efforts of Mrs, McCormick
and the old man and the meat-saw, Stanton
heard the sharp report. He thought his
rival was shooting at him. An officer came
running down Twentieth street while Stan
ton, under the erroneous thought that a por
tion of his head had been hacked off, hur
ried away in an opposite direction. The
officer made no arrests.
CAPT. MIKE’S WONDERFUL DOG.
He Afford’s Some Very Strong Evi
dence of His Ability to Read.
Capt. Mike Lynarn, a well-known boat
man of Clifton, Staten Island, is the owner
of a wise and learned Newfoundland dog,
named Carlo. The skipper spared no pains
with his education, aud he delights to
puzzle and astonish green fishermen with
the tricks of the dog. The other evening he
took Carlo into a bateau, pulled out to an
anchored skiff, put the dog on board, seated
him in the stem, tied a straw hat on his
bead, and presented him with a long bamboo
fishing rod, which he took in his
mouth. Then the Captain rowed awav
from him in the bateau, and there the big
dog sat in the skiff, looking as melancholy
as a lone fisherman at the Romer Beacon
with an ebb tide, no wind, a setting sun, and
weak fish far away.
“Vot you (lakes for dot tog?” said an ad
mirer after Mike had called the dog ashore.
“He is not for sale, sir. I intend to keep
him as a family relic.”
“A mighty sokmart tog I tole you.”
“Well, he can read; but he can’t write
yet.”
“Reet! Ach, vat you gif me!”
“I tell you it is so, and, more than that,
he can read German just as well as he calx
read English. Come over here and I’ll prove
it.”
So they adjourned, accompanied by some
friends, to a larger beer saloon, where Ly
nam made one of the party put a number of
papers in a row on a table. “Now,” saidhe,
“thex-e is the Herald , the World, the Staats-
Zeitwng and the Sun," and he kept his hand
on the Sun, taking good care not touch
the other papers. “Now,” said he, “that
dog will give me the paper I call for. Carlo,
go over to that table and bring me the Sun.
The dog went over to the table, ran his
noso along the papers, and brought the Sun
to Ills ix ms tor to tne great amusement of the
pax-tv.
“Ach,” said the first admirer and would
be purchaser, “dot is blain genoof. De dog
he see you mit yoxxr hand on de bapper.”
“Nonsense, man, didn’t you see him read
ing the names of them all befox-e he took up
the right one/ But I’ll put him out, so that
he can’t see. Carlo, get out!”
The dog went out.
“Now he can’t see,” said the Captain.
“You shuffle the papers around any way you
please.”
“Dell him to geef me do Staats-Zeitung
now ven ho conies in."
“Certainly: hut you must give him a
chance to seo It. Ho is near sighted, and tho
Captain went over to the table and arranged
the papers to the satisfaction of his friend.
Then ho called to the dog. “Carlo," said he,
“go over thex'e aud bring me the Staxits-
Zeitung
The dog nei’forraed the feat without the
least difficulty.
“Acbl” said his admirer, “it moost pe
some drick about dot. No tog can inset.”
She Was Frank.
From the Boston Transcript.
Tho prettiest thing about childhood is the
innocence of its admiration of itself. A
little girl of his acquaintance is a child of
marvelous beauty, with the fairest of com
plexions, the bluest of eyes and a mass of
silicon white hair. The universal admira
tion of these attributes of hers has neither
escaped her attention nor made her vain.
The other night this fair Little Margherita
attended a children's party, and after tho
ix'turn home her brother spoke in admira
tion of a little girl he bad seen there, and
whom he pronounced very nit*.
“All little girls are nice,” said Margherita,
gravely, “fra nit*."
There was uo more vanity in this declara
tion than in the proteat which the same
child made when it was proposed to bind
her hair entirely within her bonnet one
day when she was being sent out of doors to
1 “lion't tie it up, mamma," she said, “be
cuuup the people that go by won’t seo my
hair, and they’ll be disappointed.”

INGALLS' DIPLOMA.
. (
He Got It by the Skin of Hi* Teeth, but
tho Collego Now Honors Him.
Front the St. Paul Globe.
“Vice Pxx'Kident Ingalls hud a n'crow es
cape about getting a diploma from his alma
mater," remarked a St. Paul gentleman who
tvaa a formev classmate at Williaius College,
where ho was one year ahead of the late
President Garfield, “and the circumstances
■which led to it may prove of interest. Near
Williams College, in tho town of Pittsfield,
Mass., thex’e was a young ladies’
seminary known as the . Maplewood Insti
tute, and one of the practices of the good
preceptress at tho head was to give her
charges an airing among the Berkshii-e
Hills in a large omnibus. By a combi
nation of cirrunxstaxiees, one day a
bus load of attractive femininity
pulled into the staid old college grouuds,
and fate led them pa*t West College, in one
of the rooms of which was located Sopho
more John J. Ingalls. He bad pixivided him
self with a large tin boni, anil as the fair
schoolgirls passed his quarters he gave them
axx outoux-st of melody with his liorn that
stirred the whole college. Nothing was
said at the time, but a few days later, when
the class of which Mr. Ingalls was a member
assembled for the customai’v xhetorioal ex
ercises, President Murk Hopkins entered
and took a chair on the rosti'ura. Tapping
the thumb of his left hand with his eye
glasses—a favorite habit, by the way, when
he wanted to scold a delinquent—he cal tel
attention to Student Ingall’s breach of
decorum, and accused him of not being
averse to blowing his own horn upon every
occasion.
“Undex- this castigation from the vener
able President, Ingalls remained quiet, but
he was terribly enraged, and everybody in
school knew taht he would only bide bis
time to get even. And it camo on gradua
tion day. According to usage he had pre
pared an essay, which he entitled ‘Mummy
Life at College,’ and this was submitted to
one of the professors for revision. Natur
ally, it had to be toned, and when the manu
script was returned to Mr. Ingalls the roast
telling points, Recording to his idea, were
eliminated. Finally he was called upon to
deliver his essay before the assembled mul
titude on commencement day, and to the
horror of pi-esident and faculty ho an
nounced as his subject ‘College Mummies.’
In a keen sai'castic manner, for which he
has since become foremost in the United
States, he paid his respects to his tutoi's and
peixiistetl in finishing bis remarks, although
repeatedly told to stop.
Then he sat down and waited develop
ments. After a short pause a diploma was
handed him, but to his amazement and cha
grin it was a mere blank so far as any testi
monial of merit was concerned. But Ingalls
again outwitted the faculty, for previous to
delivering his speech he had visited the col
lege treasurer, paid his bill and obtained a
receipt which included a certificate of grad
uation as a Bachelor of Arts. To tins he
called the attention of the faculty, adding
that if they persisted in refusing him what
was his by rights he would at once ixxstituto
a suit against the college. A few days later
he was made happy by receiving a properly
signed and authenticated document show
ing him to be a graduate of Williams in
good standing. This took place in 1855, and
twenty-five years later he had a greater re
venge when hLs alma mater not only chose
him to deliver the annual oi-ation, but at his
close conferred upon him without solicita
tion the degreee of Doctor of Laws.”
THE FIFTH CONTINENT.
What is Going on in Australia—A
Glimpse of Melbourne.
From the San Francisco Examiner.
A. S. Mandei-s, of Manders’ Press Agency,
Australia, an institution corresponding to
the Associated Press in America, is in this
city. Mr. Manders is a native of Melbourne,
and some months ago started out on an ex
tended tour of the world.
“Four San Francisco cable roads,” saidhe,
“which were introduced in Melbourne some
time since, are a great success. The cable
system is well liked there, and nearly all the
conductor, gripmen, and others of the force
who went from this city to s-tart the enter
prise are yet with it. This is the only cable
road we Have, but other cities will soon adopt
the system,
“There is noxv in Australia 30,000 miles of
railway. In Victoria alone, which is the
smallest of the provinces, we have over
10,000 miles. We have one continuous line
of 2,000 miles from Adelaide to Brisbane,
through the colonies. Some of the roads
make verv fast time. The express trains
from Melbourne to Sydney make the whole
distance of 600 "miles in seventeen
hours. Australia is as largo as the Ameri
can Union.
“Melbourne, as tho leading city of the
colonies, with 400,000 population, {s rapidly
advancing, while Sydney, which is next in
size, with 800,000 people, is equally pros
perous, "but perhaps bettor known to you,
since it is tho terminus of the Oceanic
Steamship Line from San Francisco. The
other colonies now have close on to 200,000
apiece.
“Our cattle-raising iu the gi-eat grass re
gions is very extensive, yet it differs some
what from tho way it is carried on in the
United States. We t'ence*our x anges, or sta
tions as they are (ailed, and with American
patented barbed wire. Australians are
always on the lookout for new things in
America, and they speedily adopt them.
The proprietor of a station is called a squat
ter. He may have 30,000 or 40,000 acres in
his station, but whatever he has it is all
fenced. Some of these ranches are 2,000
miles away from market, and take many
months to drive their cattle through. Tlie
law prohibit* cattle being driven Lister than
four miles a day, or sheep more than three.
The recent ruins have wonderfully Im
prove.! the crops. Wool ha* gone up 50 per
cent.
“Living is very cheap now in”Australia.*
Workingmen can get good board and rooms
at the hotels for *2 50 per week. Bank
clerks and such persons can get such a* they
want for $3 50 to $4, while the very best is
not over $7 50, 1 hardly think the
chances of making a fortune quick are as
good, though, as they are in America. I
think this is the best country I ever saw for
that.
“What surprises me most in America is
the immensity of your hotels, and in fact, of
all your building's. ‘ You do everything on a
grand sea!*. But I was surprised, too. to
find that at the Ureat Union Depot hotel ut
Kansas City at which 1 stopped there
was not a bat h in the house. Every little
cottage in my country has u hath. It
differ* greatl j' from England in this re
spect. Australasia lias about 2.000 daily
and weekly papers; Australia lias 1,596
alone.” _ _ __ _
A Witchcraft Caao.
From AU the Year Hound.
One of tho most extraordinary witchcraft
cases ever presented, aud in aft respects a
typical one, was tried in 1673 at the Morpeth
Sessions, though whether it ever wont up to
tho Assizes is uncertain. It would seem, if
one can believe tho evidence, that quite a
party of wit •ho*, with a wizard or two,
were wont to hold their “snbbat” iu the
neighborhood of Morpeth ut Hiding Mill and
elsewhere, whereat tue proceeding- we it of
the strangest. It wn* the custom of these
beldame* to repair to the meeting places,
mounted soxnotln.es upon wooden dishes, or
even egg-sliells, but oitener upon victims of
tho human kind whom they had saddled and
bridled. Arrivod nt the ununllowrel place
they were met by their ••protector," f. c., tho
devil, with whom they held a high feasting,
ho sitting, according to one, in u chair "like
unto bright gold.” it was sufficient for tho
witches io swing upon a rap,- which hung
there from the beams a very general char
acteristic of such stories in order to bring
down upon the table whatovor was needed.
It ia upou evitlouca that, at one of tlxese un- i
holy meetting*, a cajion with the broth in
which it had been boiled, a isittle of wine,
a oheeee, a quarter of mutton, a piece of
