The papers entitled “Russians tho Enemy of English Trado,” uud “Tho Origin and Interpretation of Myths”—the latter by W. S. Gill—are,in their respective ** n ” s i Highly suggestive and interesting.

The illustrations are excellent and appropriate, and the reading matter is the best to be obtained. The num ber contains so many good things that it is difficult to tell which of the articles one likes best. “On the Tortugas'' is the frontis piece, and it is well calculated to hold the attention. Mr. Howells gives Part VII. of his "Opie Hugos” besides some interesting articles in “Editor’s Easy Chair.” Papers that will be read with interest and profit are “Buccaneers and Marooners of tho Spanish Main,” “A Native Publishing House in India,” “Hunting the Grizzly Bear,” a short storv entitled “A Fisher man's Mate,” “The Natives of Siberia,” and “Here and There in the South.” There are several excellent poems bet-ides a great va riety of miscellany.

A. AV. Grecly, who describes an episode of the Lady Bay expedition, under the title of “Our Kivigtok.” A feature of the number is the beginning of a three-part, story bv Joel Chandler Harris, entitled “Azalia,” and illustrated effectively by Kemble. Tho time of Mr. Harris’ story is I (STB, and as in bis latest success, “Little Compton,” the scene is in Georgia, and tho author avails himself of the contrast (not to say the attraction) between Northern and Southern characters.

THE MORNING NEWS: MONDAY, JULY 25, 1887. CAN ARSIE'S HERO. Money and Testimonials Showered Upon Arthur Robinson From the New York Herald. “Here, take these and keep them for me.” Bounding from the steamboat Julia, which had just arrived from Hoekaway, Arthur Robinson, the colored hero tf the yacht Mystery disaster in Jamaica Bay, leaped across the dock at Canarsie landing yesterday afternoon, and running up to Supt. Warner, of the Canarsie and Rocka way Beach railroad, addressed him thus and handed him two letters containing testimo nials. By the way, such things are being almost showered upon Robinson, “Helms a swelled betel. probably,” is a common remark. No, he hasn’t. There is no enlargement of his head and no evidence of any dilation as a result of the profuse and continued compliments and rewards. He is just the same modest, plain man nered Arthur Robinson now as he was tie fore he rowed to the rescue of the Mystery’s drowning passengers. Money, testimonials and medals have failed to produce vain and boastful feelings in his honest bogoin. SCORNING DIME MUSEUM OFFERS. Dime museum managers have offered him fabulous sums for a brief exhibition of himself. But no gilt-edged offer has yet tempted him. He does not aspire to even temporary fame and glittering glory through a dime museum or any other source. A Rocka way showman offered him s!!sofora week’s engagement: another one $75 for otio (Sun day, tut Robinson scouted both, and dis dainfully refused to become a curiosity. This Canarsie hero will soon be rich. Sev eral sulisoription lists are growing daily. The Herald lias received $9O for him. President DeWitt C. Littlejohn, of the Canflrsio and Roekaway Beach road, in structed Superintendent Warner to make Robinson a present of s'£s, and the order wascheerfully obeyed a few days ago. FLATTERING TESTIMONIALS. Among the testimonials that Robinson has received none has been more pleasing than contributed by the Life Saving Benevolent Association of New York, which comprised a check for $5O on the Bank of America, a silver medal and the following communication: Life Having Benevolent Association of ) New York. No. 51 Wall Street, V New York, July 80, 1887. ) Mr. Arthur Robinson: Dear Sir-We have the pleasure of sending to you tlie silver medal, together with a check to your order for $5O, awarded hy the Life Saving Benevolent Association of New York. The medal has the following inscription: “Presented to Arthur Robinson in recognition of his humanity and heroism in rescuing nine persons from the yacht Mystery, capsized and sunk in Jamaica Bay July 10,1887.” We are gratified to add that your activity and ability In saving so many persons from drown ing arc associated and mentioned with the good qualities which have characterized your everday life. These give promise that you will ever be worthy of the commendation which you now receive. We trust that the money will cheer and en courage you in honest labor, and that the medal will iKplbng kept as a pleasing memento of the event it commemorates. Yours very truly, W. IT. H. Moore, President. On the reverse of the medal is a represen tation in relief of a capsizing yacht and rescue. The medal was inclosed in a mo rocco bound case. MADE A LIEUTENANT. Admiral Edwin D. Ayres, of the Volun teer Lite Saving Corps, officially informed Robinson that he had been appointed a lieutenant in the organization and wrote this on the hack of the document: “I take pleasure in sending you this day a token of our appreciation in part for tlie noble action shown by you. Accept this with our best wishes.” An organization of colored tiooplo known as St. Mark’s Lyceum, of No. 14(1 West Thirty-fifth street, sent Carnarsie’s hero a set of complimentary resolutions. Members of a yacht club, whose head quarters are at Canarsie, are raising a purse of SIOO to be presented to Robinson. Other gifts ami testimonials are being prepared. By the time this work of re warding bravery is over he will be worth at least several hundred dollars, and have a brave stock of medals and testimo moiiials. A CHAT WITH THE MODEST HERO. A reporter chatted half an hour with Robinson Inst evening in tho depot at Canarsie landing and obtained his history. The preserver of nine lives wore a cuta way suit—the gift of a New York clothier —a white shirt, a checkered necktie and a straw but. He is a medium sized man, weighing not more than 140 pounds. His face is almost inky black. His head has a stubby growth of curly, woolly hair, while a slight moustache is visible. Robinson is remarkably quiet and modest and rarely talks without first being spoken to. “AVDiere were you born?” asked the re porter. “Aquia Creek, Vn.,” replied Robinson tipping back his straw hat. “How old are you?” “I diinno. 1 don’t remember the date of my birth. I guess I’m about 37.” “Can you rtad and write?” “No. I neber got a chance to learn. I was born a slave; my father and mother were slaves of Morgan Finnell, of Virginia.” “AYhen did you leave your father and mother?” “I think I was about ten years old wlion I ran away and got on board a sailing ves sel. I wasn’t big enough to do anything, but I soon learned how to cook. I have lived on lioats almost ever since, being em ployed as ciH)k. I never saw my mother and father after I left them, and don’t know whether either is living.” “Did you ever saye lives before the rescue in Jamaica Bay 4” “Yes, one. My sister and another girl Avcre on the AA’armassott on the Potomac River. I Has only a boy. The boat caught lire. The girls junqxxl over board and I jumped over, too, and saved them both.” “AVlien did you come to New York?” “About nine years ago.” “And you’ve followed the art of cooking on hi Kits ever since ?” “Yes; I’ve been working on Captain Joe Collins’ coal schooner, plying between Ca narsie and Perth Amboy, for several years past.” DIDN’T STOP TO COUNT THEM. “How many persons did you rescue from the Mystery. “I dunno; 1 didn’t stop to keep count. I was trying to save nil 1 could. lam slow in making up my mind, but when I once get ready I work in earnest. I never lose my senses. This is the wny it was in the Mys tery’s disaster. I saw that help was needed and I didn’t wait long is-fore going to tho rescue, I can tell you tlrnt.” Robinson is a modest and innocent look ing as a country child, but he possesses a Clear head and a lot of latent pluck thut is displayed when face to face with danger. He assured the reporter that lie docs not seek notoriety, would not accept any dime museum or other flattering offer, but sticks to his wal k as a cook. "Buchu-Palba."

THE FARMER DIDN’T BITE. He Had Soon the Elephant and Knew Trunk from Tall. A Middletown, N. Y., dispatch to the New York Times says: Darwin Davis, an old-fashioned and well-to-do fanner of the neighboring town of Norwich, tells of a re cent interview with a couple of affable strangers, as follows: “The other morning a man called at mv house and wautod to buy a farm. He said bis name was Dr. Milos, ami he lived in Rutland, Yt., and he wanted the farm for his sister, a rich California widow, who wanted to settle down with her children in this part of the country. His sister, he said, lmd a pile of money, and he inquired if the banks were sound around here. I told him I did not know much about any of the banks except the old Norwich Bank, and I considered that good enough to keep my money for me. lie said that my farm had been recommended to him as just the one he wanted and he had railed to look at it. So the doctor and I started off up the road to lflok over the farm. Prettv soon we were overtaken by a well {tressed and glib-spoken young fellow in a bilfegy, who hailed us and inquired how far it was before the road turned off to the left. I gave him the in formation he wanted, and then he got out of the buggy and canio up to us and began talking about a big advertising scheme he was working among the farmers for a firm in New Orleans. He said he was from New Orleans and was a nephew of Gen. Beaure gard, but he didn’t go into the Confederate army because he wasn’t big enough at that time. “Then he said if lie had time to spare he’d show us anew game of draw that was all the go down in New Orleans, so he pulled out four cards, three with black snots, and one with rod spots, and ho shufHea t hem up and turned them over face downward. The game was, he said, to puy a quarter and draw, and if you drawetl the red card and showed $5, then you got $5. Ho wanted us to try it, for the fun of the thing, and see what our luck would be. Dr. Miles drawl'd and got the red card first draw, and then 1 triisl it and got the red card the same way. “Beauregard said we had extraordinary luck, but he’d bet us $l,OOO against $5 in earnest, that we couldn’t both of us draw the red card again the first time we tried it. Dr. Miles took the bet and (lrawed, and got it, too. Beauregard said ho wouldn’t play no more draw with such lucky men as w'e were—he’d lost enough. But his firm al ways told him to be honorable and do just as he agreed, and ns ho had lost the $ 1,000 he’d pay it, provided that we could show that we were responsible and honorable and had $l,OOO to liny with in case we lost that amount. Then he pulled out a big roll of bills and commenced counting out the $l,OOO. Dr. Miles said he hadn’t got so much money with him, and offered a check on the Rutland Bank, but Beauregard said he must show the cash. Then tne doctor proposed that I should go to the Norwich Bank and get the $l,OOO and bring it there and show it, and he would give me half the sff'Oo he had won. “About this time I began to see a nigger in the wood pile, and the more I thought about it the bigger that darky got to be. So I said to Beauregard: ‘Young man, you might just as well put that money back in your pocket, for I don’t want it. I’ve seen the elephant, and I know which end iiis tail is on.’ With that Beauregard got mail and jumped into his buggy afid rode away. Dr. Mill's and 1 startl'd back toward my house and on the way I told him that I thought Beauregard was trying to play a confidence game on me and that he bud a hand in it. ‘Why, Davis,’said he, ‘how can you think sol I belong to the Presbyterian church up Rutland, and our minister don’t allow us to handle cards.’ Pretty soon Dr. Miles went away, and that’s the last I’ve heard about his buying my farm.” OFFICIAL MORTUARY REPORT Of the Clly-of Ha ran nail for Die Week End ing Friday, July 22.
