Near Valdosta, Ga., are a couple ol

Poor old Dhuleep Singh is evidently
hard up, says the New York Tribune.
He has written to Queen Victoria asking
her ,o give him the famous Koh-i-noot
diamond or its market value in ready
cash. He wants the money to use in
India against the peace and integrity
of the Empire, a circumstance which,
coupled with the fact that the gem doesn't
belong to him any mors than to a score
of other Sikhs, makes his request seem
uncommonly cool. The son of the Pun
jaub Lion is in a pretty bad way.
THE BETTER CHANGE.
The road that hath no turning
Makes travelers sick with yearning;
To hearts where sorrows enter
Come joys that sweetest sing;
A world without a winter
Can never know a spring.
Man's hope no fear can fetter
Where best may yet grow better;
Faith builds no walls of granite
Where time is but begun.
And life, a changing planet.
Runs round a changeless sun.
Oh bliss of expectation!
Ob sweeter revelation
Beyond these fading pleasures,
Beyond these falling tears,
Where love’s new-given treasures
Grow never old with years I
Above all harm and hating.
Through pain of want and waiting,
Comes holy comfort’s wooing,
In words of heavenly breath,
‘•This grief is not undoing,
This dying is not death.”
Faith's martyrs, love's anuointed,
Hope’s toilers disappointed,
Shorn lambs to shelter slumber
From earth’s oppression passed—
All, with God’s star-crowned number
Shall find their meed at last.
To hold that future firmer
Is wise to do, nor murmur
Because its entrance only
Lies through the mortal gate.
The soul cannot be lonely
Where friends so many wait.
Death’s deluge boundless swelling,
May drift this transient dwelling,
When fear's foreboding raven
Hath flown across the sea,
The dove of peace my haven
Will find, and come to me.
And I shall rest securely
At anchor there, and surely
God’s hand will break my prison,
And I my heaven shall view
When, for His children risen,
He maketh all things new.

A TERRIBLE RIDE.
»—-■«™.
“Now then, Dave, I reckon that’s
about all. Don’t fergit theterbacker, an’
don’t fail ter inquire if thar's any letters
fur Abram Bartlett,” and glaring at Dave
over his great horn spectacles, Mr. Bart-
lett leaned over the counter and slowly
repeated the last clause.
“\es, sir,” answered Dave, struggling
hard to keep back a smile, for Mr. Bart-
lett s anxiety about letters was a standing
joke at Dagon’s Cross Roads, as he was
never known to have received one yet.
“And where are you expectin’ a letter
from, Mr. Bartlett?” Dave asked.
The storekeeper's brow wrinkled and
be hesitated between anger and amaze-
ment at such audacity. Before he could
reply the door opened and Squire Dagon
came in.
“Going to Wysanking, Dave?” he
asked abruptly.
“lies, sir. ’
“Now see here, my boy,” went on the
squire, pulling out a bulky-looking pocket-
book. “I think I can trust you, and I
want you to attend to a little bussiness
for me. I ought to go to Wysanking
myself to-day, but I find it impossible. In
this pocket-book is the money to pay the
loggers over in Powell’s Valley. There
are three hundred dollars in currency

uneasy for a minute. “Of course

squire put the ^ T Dave * ands pocket the

buttoned up the ragged jacket.
“I'll deliver the money all right, Mr.
Dagon," he said resolutely, as he started
toward the door.
"Now*, Dave,” called out Mr. Bartlett,
* ‘don’t fergit ter ax the postmaster if
there’s any—” but Dave was already out
of hearing.
“Dave Hunter is an honest lad,” ob-
served the squire, lighting a cigar. “The
mon ey will be safe enough with him, I
guess. ’
Mr. Bartlett took a pinch of snuff, and
drawled out slowly: “Waal, yes I reckon
he is - But he ’ s gettin’ impudent, squire,
1 indent.”
1 ue squire only laughed, and with a
cheery “good morning,” mounted his
horse and rode off to visit his lumber
camps.

fear. He could heir the mountain
rent brawling over tta rocky bed away
down in the ravine, and some birds were
chattering in the woods.
It was toward noon when he crossed a
small clearing that lay half a mile back
from the river. The ridge at this point
widened and formed quite a vast plateau,
Dave walked fast, and before long he
could see the end of the wood less than
a quarter of a mile away, and the great
pines that rose on either side of the slide,
He was still thinking of all the delight-
ful possibilities that lay snugly next to
his breast, and wondering if ever he
would be the owner of so much money,
when a gruff voice broke in on his reflec¬
tions.
“Hullo, Dave, me boy!”
Leaning against a great rock on one
side of the path was Black Mike, a worth-
less fellow, who had been discharged from
one of the camps nearly a week before,
and whom every one supposed to be far
away by this time. A broad griu dis-
torted his ugly face, and his hands were
thrust carelessly into his pockets.
Dave’s heart sank within him, but he
repressed all signs of fear, and with a
cheerful “How dy do, Mike?” he walked
past.
“See here a minit, me lad,” and Mike
stepped out in front of him. “I’ll
trouble ye to hand over that money, me
boy. You’re too young intirely to be
trusted wid such valuables.”
He leered at Dave with a chuckle, evi-
dently anticipating an easy victory.
Dave trembled as he realized how com-
pletely he was in the ruffian’s power.
“Be quick, now,” added Mike. “I’ll
not harm ye. Pass it ovdt, an’ go back
an’ tell ouid Dagon him an’ me’s quite
now. Hurry up, Oi say,” and Mike’s
smile gave way to a heavy frown.
At this critical moment, like a flash an
inspiration came into Dave’s mind, a plan
so reckless, so daring, that it nearly took
his breath.
Fhe money must be saved at any cost.
How could he face the squire and confess
that he had calmly handed it over at the
robber s bidding?
Quick as conceived, his determination
was formed. He must take the only
chance, but it was a desperate one.
“See here, Mike,” said he, “what’ll
the squire say if I go back this way?
Can’t you tie my hands behind me so
h ^r:„'h m d e a fl .f ,or itr
e« , „ ud
“Oi’ll be hanged if you ain’t a cute
one. I'll see if Oi have any cord,” and
he dove into his pockets with both hands.
Dave took one long breath, and like a
streak shot off down the road, with his
sled careering madly from side to side be-
hind him.
The very daring of the act nearly de-
prived Mike of his senses for an instant,
and with open mouth and staring e} r es he
saw the space between them grow big-
gcr and bigger. Then, with a terrible
imprecation, he dashed in pursuit, shout-
ing loudly: “Stop, ye thafe, stop, or
Oi’ll break every bone in yure body!”
Dave was making a desperate effort,
straining every nerve, and holding his
breath hard, but the infuriated Irishman
was strides coming on behind with great plung-
ing that were rapidly bringing him
closes
The bluff of the mountain was very
near now, and beyond the cliff line Dave
could see, far across the river, snow-clad
fields and scattered farms, and even a tiny
church spire, shining clear in the bright
moonlight. But before him, only a few
yards now, was that awful abyss, ten
times longer and steeper than any tdbag-
gan slide ever built, a great gully, gliding
almost perpendicularly down the rugged
face of the mountain.
Dave remembered with a shudder how
the great logs used to plunge madly down
the slide, turning somersaults at the bot-
tom, and churning the turbid tide of the
river into a seething caldron of tawny
yellow foam. Now the river was ice
bound from shore to shore,
The robber’s crunching footsteps were
close behind him. An instant’s delay
and he was lost;
He stooped, grasped the sled with both
hands and threw himself with a forward
motion heavily down the path,
As the runners struck the frozen snow,
Black Mike, with a wild cry, hurled him-
self on Dave’s back. The sled, freighted
with its heavy burden, shot rapidly down
the path, and darting between two great
pines, plunged sullenly over the brink,
Not a cry escaped its occupants, and
what followed Dave could never after-
ward speak of intelligently. When the
sled made the plunge he jerked his cap
partly over his eyes and held his head
down. He remembered the Irishman’s
heavy weight on his back, the long arms
that reached beyond his own and gripped
the sides of the sled. Then came a blind,
dizzy sensation, a roaring in his ears,
burning pains as of a thousand needles
piercing his hands and face, a feeling cap" of
suffocation. Next, just as his was

That heavy weight was still pressing on

Instinctively he reached for his breast

just beginning to realize the situation
when the sled plunged blindly into a
face, and then in some mysterious man-
ner, he never knew how' the crushing

then, for the second time that day, Dave
fainted. .
Black Mike was rescued by the aid oJ
boards, rather more dead than alive, and
was speedily consigned to a stone cell ir
Towanda.
That same evening Dave wafc escorted
back to Dagon's Cross Roads by an ad-
miring crowd, and in front of Bartlett’s
store was received by the squire himself,
who publicly called him a hero, anc
ended up by presenting him with t
pocket-hook that felt as heavy as lead,
As the squire stepped aside, Mr. BaVt-
left came out of his store,
‘•Dave Hunter,” he called out shrilly,
“did you fergit ter ax if there was any
mail fer Abram Bartlett at the postoflice V
The wild shout of laughter that arose
made the storekeeper's eyes flash nuclei
his spectacles, and in the confusion Dave
slipped off home. His heroism had re
ceived due recognition from the squire,
and he is now on a sure road to pros-
perity.
As for Black Mike, he .spent two years
in close confinement for his share in th(
adventure. No one ever knew how ht
discovered that Dave had the money that
day.
One summer afternoon long afterwards.
Dave visited the old lumber slide, and
as he looked into the dizzy gulf, he saw
what had caused that last great, crash
Half a dozen yards from the bottom was
a huge log, stretched directly across the
passage. The snow had backed up above
this, -and the fearful momentum had scnl
the sled far into the air, landing, strangi
to say, fair and square on its runners.—
The Argosy.
Derelicts.
The long journey made by derelicts—
vessels abandoned by their crew r s to drift
whithersoever the winds and currents
carry them—have lately become a inattei
of great interest. The American schooner.
W. L. White, which was abandoned not
far from the Delaware coast, drifted cleai
across the Atlantic, crossed and recrosseci
her own track many times, and finally
went upon the rocks on the Hebrides
islands, off the coast of Scotland. Shf
had occupied more than ten months in thf
strange voyage. Throughout that turn
she was a continual danger to naviga
tion.
It is the duty of a master of a vessel
who encounters a derelict on the high
seas, at a distance from shore too great to
make it practicable to tow her to port,
to blow up or otherwise sink the derelict;
but lately an abandoned steamer floated
about off the coast of South America
which no ship-master dared approach.
She had a great iron hull, her cargo had
taken fire, and the fire, after consuming
hef woodwork) still smouldered in the
hull for a long time. The heat kept othei
vessels at their distance.
In order to study more closely the
movements and directions of the ocean
currents, upon which so much of the
safety and celerity of navigation depends,
th 6 United States Hydrographic Bureau
has had printed a large number of blanks,
which it will cause to be distributed
amon g ship-masters sailing in all parts ol
the workL The blanks are to be filled
out with statements of the exact location
where vessels may be at a given time, and
then placed in bottles, which are to be so
sealed and weighted that only a part of
the necks will appear above the water, in
order that they may not be blown by the
wind. The bottles will then be thrown
into the sea.
Upon the bottom of each of the blanks
is printed a notice requesting the finder
to forward it to the nearest consul Of the
United States, or to the Hydrographic
Bureau at Washington, after affixing the
exact date and place where the bottle
containing the blank was found.
It is hoped that, in the course of time,
enough of these blanks,which are printed
in six different languages, will find their
way back to Washington, to establish
many new facts with regard to the direc¬
tion and force of ocean currents—

The Paris Bulletin de VImprimerie con¬

likely to interest your readers: “Whai

MURDER CASE AT CHICAGO, ILL.
B. T. Beggs, of Chicago, Ill., an attor¬
ney, is the reputed censor guardian of
the Columbia Club or Camp 96 of the
Clan na-Gael. It was in this camp, as
the story goes, that Dr. Cronin was tried
for treason in star chamber proceedings
and sentenced to death. The police have
for some days had their eyes upon Mr.
Beggs, and have been zealously laboring
to collect evidence enough to connect
him and his camp with the removal of
Dr. Cronin. “My belief is,” said Mr.
Beggs, “that the oath of the Clan-na-
Gael foibids me to disclose the names of
the officers or members of the order, or
its objects or proceedings. However, I
will tell you frankly that I hope the oath
of secrecy may be suspended until this
thing is c.eaicd up. if the Clan does
not acquit itself of all connection with
this crime it will be totally wrecked and
the Irish in American will perish with
it. I will say we have contributed about
$5,000,000 to free Ireland and $80,000
of it has been stolen and a horrid mur¬
der committed to cover up the theft,
and we will not contribute another cent.
But if the oath of secrecy should be sus¬
pended by the chief executive officer, the
order will instantly be acquitted of com¬
plicity in the crime.”
