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: m nn wh so ad be me ill o tte it nor a cret er si ia i cb ris ne ipt . ■is wri n in et no in to b od the of • lin not use ho a a o re of is the g la nt in! le I not ask you to trouble your brains |h endeavoring to read, that, but w ill show .•"a the solution at once.” , Jaking the paper by it* lover end the do •f'Uve wranpci it siiirally around the load (•erii jJ which lio had borrowed.

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.” Rough on Rate,” Clears out rate, mice, roaches, flies, ante, bedbug*, beetle*, insects, skunks, jack rab bits, sparrows, gophers. 15c.

( 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.

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 beef, with bread, butter, ole and other | goo ! things, came down at the lxildamea’ buUliufi. i CHEAP ADVERTISING. ok ceyFa word.
