Samuels—How Two Sea Captains Aided a Lady to Escape from a Turkish Pasha From die Youth's Companion. Capt. Samuels, while waiting at Constan tinople for repairs on his ship Manhattan, became acquainted with a Swede, a Capt. H , whose ship was also lying in the har bor. One afternoon the two captains, with eight or ten others, were passing, as their custom was. through the street which led to the lauding whence they took tiieir boats to go on board their ships. Blank walls twenty feet high extended nOO feet along tioth sides of the street and inclosed the palaces of two pashas. Only the windows of the tipper stories could be seen. One of these windows was suddenly thrown open and a beautiful woman apjieared at it. She threw something over the wall and closed the window. It was a note and all the captains rushed to pick it up. Tic Swede pocketed it. On arriving at the landing he invited Capt. Samuels on board his ship. Once on board the note was opened by the Swede, who read it. and. with great agitation, handed it to Capt Samuels, say mg: “Read and tell me wuat to do.” Tim note was written in a good English hand and read as follows: “I know you are Christians and will save me from this life of degradation lntoaibed in this harem, 1 appeal to you to save me. God, I know, will open your hearts, give wisdom, and guide you to morrow night to a silken thread thrown from this window, near where you found my note. To the thread attach your answer. 1 >eath awaits discovery.” ‘•I will tnarry her if we rescue her and if she will consent I” exclaimed the romantic Swede, laying his right hand reverently on the ship’s Bible. He afterward kept his word. The two captains laid their plans. The next night they remained on shore, know ing that being suilors they could, with the aid of piasters, pass the gates of the streets, though Ihey were closed at night. The two captains, ap|>arently half drunk, staggered up to the guards, handed them I lUO piasters, and passed through the gate, • Each tarried the usual paper lantern and j was well armed. The thread was found | and their note of reply attached. The note I was pulled up. The note said that on the fifth night they would attach a strong line to the end of the cord, and to it a rope-lad ler, which she was to pull up. Directions were given a-s to how sue was to secure the ladder and descend it. The next night an answer read that the lady, assisted by a trusty eunuch, would provide the ladiler, which they must null toward them by a cord weighted by a silken purse containing jewels, it mlso bade them think well of the uaugor as death would lie the penalty if they were dis<s>vered. On the eventful night, the two captains reached the gate, apparently in a drunken condition, feed the guards as before, passed through, found the cord and the purse. The cord was pulled gently, ami drew down a la lder made of silk. The two captains put their weights u]>on it to keep it from swaying. A burden was felt upon it. and a min in a white tunic sprang from the ladder, muttered some thing, sprang up the ladder, and disap peared. Presently the strain announced that some one was descending. It was the lady. Hhe sprang to the ground, followed by tuc man, her faithful slave. Falling on his knees, he begged to be taken with her. It was impos sible, a- it would precipitate the discovery ol her flight. The lady was calm and the party passed through ihe gate, throwing a handful of piasters on the ground. While the guard van picking up the money Capt. Samuels locked the gate and threw away the key. Hearing tramping feet behind, they hur ried to the boat, pulled a- quietly as possible Vo the Swedish brig, whim was got under way at once, that she might be iu the Sea of Marmora beiore sunrise. Cant. Samuel returned to his own vessel and in a lew days sailed for Odessa. On his return he was warned lint to stop at Con stantinople, as he was suspected of a ding the escape of one of the wives of a pasha in the Turkish army. He ran by the forts, and received shots which did iiim uo barm. An Odd Royal Favor From The American Reointer \Paris). A good and authentic storv is told of a Gernm ( Diogenes.

Thu King went to see the oldest of Ins subjects and found him a hale and si 11 hearty \eieran of ldd, comfortably seat-sI in an old arm-chair, enjoying his inseparable companion—a short pitie. On the approach of ihe King he rose, and advauee 1 a few steps, but the King made him sit down, and conversed quite freely, whb him, the pipe, however, not leaving tli old man’s lips a minute. On parting, thi- King as ted him if he had any wish that he coul 1 gratilA . "So, Your Majesty,’’ was tne reply, ‘H thank you; I have every thing i need in this world;” “iluve you indeed!

It Comes from Philadelphia to New York on a Train From the Sew York S tar. The distinguished inventor. Mr. Keeley, of Philadelphia, whose motor has effected such a startling revolution in the world's industry, is stopping for a few days at the Clarendon Hotel, at Fourth avenue and Seventeenth street. He lias come to New York to rest from his invention* and to give liis stockholders a few days to count their dividend*. It may l>e given out as a fiction unknown to people in general, that tne Volunteer, during tie- recent rare, hail a Keeley motor aboard. This motor clearly proved it* superiority to the triple expan sion engine which the Thistle carried under keel. Mr. Keeley is in the best of humor over the perennial success of his inventions. The mere fact that stock in the Keeley Motor Company has gone up ‘J* - . a pound, and now leads the alie.i rags of Egypt by a quarter of a cent, lends a strong air of probability to the rumor that the Keeley motor is about to tie adopted by ail the manufacturers and owners of tall buildings in New York. Mr. Keeley remains suspiciously mysterious about his machine, which was pej-feoted tlitre months ago and is now, so to speak, readr for the retail market. It is said that toy Keeley motors of one-haif mule power, and strong enough to run a sewing ma chine. will, in a few days, tie sold by hand cart men on all the principal streets of the city. There is a rival inventor to Mr. Keeley in town. The Philadelphian was somewhat surprised to see at breakfast yesterday morning Mr. McGuffiu, of Fond du Lac, VS’is., the inventor of the McGuttin motor. Mr Keeley seowied across the table at Mr. M'-Guflin. Mr. McGuffiu returned the scowl with interest. Mr. Keeley disdainfully arose from the table and sought the smoking room. Interest in the McGuffiu motor at present Mir] lasses that in the Keeley motor, and the stockholders in the former enterprise are trying to unload their stock with that spirit of altruism which is often shown by the owners of an Arizona silver mine. The McGuffin motor is based on anew principle in mechanics. Everybody knows that butter is strong. Sometimes it is so strong that it is popularly said that it can walk. Litnburger cheese is universally ad mitted to be strong. Mr. McGuffin pro poses to take this rare strength which be longs to odors and apply it to machinery. He says that it will surpass Mr. Keeley’s force, and that with an ounce of Limhurger cheese lie can produce more power than Keeley can with a thimbleful ol ether. If the mechanical power afforded by the rise of a single tide in New York Bay might be utilized it would move all the machinery in the world. Mr. McGuffiu claims that if he could utilize the odors made in a single day in Hunter’s Point he could move all the machinery in the world and have plenty of power to spare. He nas invented a huge machine to bottle and apply as a mechanical power the enormous strength of these vari ous odors, which are now suffered lo go to waste. A series of huge sweeps, like those of a Holland windmill, gather these odor* into the central reservoir by a process which is a part of the mysterious secret of the in vention and inert pable of being under stood, just as Mr. Keeley’* ether and motor are profound secrets ami beyond the under standing of anybody. In regions where the air is absolutely puie ihe McGuffin moter may be run oil stale butter. A pound of ordinary packed butter would furnisti enough power to run a rolling mill for a week. A single ounce of Lira burger cheese would run all the facto ries and elevators in New York for a month. Oleomargarine would furnish still stronger power than either of the others for the new machine. Mr. McGuffin has applied for a patent for his new motor, and will trv to introduce it in .St. I Amis, Chicago and Pittsburg, where strong odors are abundant and free. Hunt ers Point will lie the headquarters of the new motor company in the East, and here most of its machines will be set up. It is confidently lielieved that the odors in Hunt er's Point will run all the machinery on the Atlantic seaboard. McGuffin motor stock is for sale. A Valuable Point. From the .Yetr York \tnil and Express. “Will you please saw this ring off my finger ?’ It was an old woman who made this re mark to a Broadway jeweler, and as the worker in gold and silver took the wrinkled, though fat and shapely hand in his, it trembled violently, and a tear dropped ujion the counter. “Excuse me,” continue the old lady, 1 “but it is my wedding ring. I have never 1 had it off since I married—forty-five years ago. 1 have refrained from having it cut, hoping that my finger might get thinner and that i could take it off without break ing it.” “And what if I can remove it without cutting;” inquired the jeweller. “But can you; ’ said slie, looking up in a half-credulous way. “If you can, do it by ail means.’’ Then the jeweler took the swollen finger and wound it run id from the top down wards in a length of fiat ruboer braid. The elastic cord exerted its force upon the tis sues of the finger gently and gradually uu til the flesh seemed to be pusiied down to i the bone. The old woman’s hand was then ' held above her head for a brief interval. Then the bandage was quickly uncorded and rewouu t a :out tile member. This was re ]ieated three times, and finally it was found upon uncovering the linger that it was 1 small enough to admit the ring's being re moved with ease. “I have never failed but once,” said the jeweler, “ami 1 have removed many rings from fingers even more swollen than yours. Do 1 enlarge tor it’ Oh, yes. I ask the same amount that 1 would get if the ring were left to W mended after being cut, s]. Thank you!” and as he turner! to his bench and the old woman left the store he added: “But alter all she might have done the same tiling herself. It’s not the work, however, I charge for, it’s the ‘know how.’” “Rough on Itch.” “Rough on Itch” cures skin humors, erup tions, ring-worm, tetter, salt rheum, frosted feet, chilblains, itch, ivy poison, barber’s itch. 50c. jars.
