Years and years ago, when Chica go was in a state of infancy, and the World’s fair, with all its magnifi cence and grandeur, and the drain age canal, and trolley CaYs, and sky scraper buildings, with a hundred other wonderful things, had not even been dreamed of, and when nearly all the traveling and trans portation of every kind were accom plished by steamboats and sailing vessels, whioh plied up and down the great lakes, there were many singular incidents, not to mention accidents, which, if published, would make volumes of interesting read ing. Many of the steamers were com manded by good natured, jolly cap tains, who were nearly always on familiar terms with the passengers after tho first day out of port. Even the little children were made the ob jects of their attention in such a way that whenever the captain ap peared, it was a signal for a regular stampede to see who would ho the first to greet him. There was McFadden of the Madi son, Kingman of the Empire State, Stone of the Keystono State, Cham berlain of tho Planet, a Lake Supe rior boat, and many others, hut not the least of these and the most ec centric one of all was old Captain Blake of the steamboat Illinois. Poor man, ho was taken with chol era at the time it raged so fearfully in Chicago and other towns, and that was the ending of his eventful career. Of his early life there is little known except that he was a native of a seaport town of New England and had his first experiences of sea manship upon tho ocean. Ho was cool under all circumstances where the occasion required it and was re markable for his self restraint and dauntless courage in extreme peril. His manner was always reassuring to tho panic stricken passengers in a storm, no matter how higjj^the waves were rolling. He would say: “Son,” or “Daughter, don’t he frightened. We’ll be all right in the morning.” Ho addressed nearly all young people as “son” or “daughter.” There were occasions, though, where his wrath got the better of his self control, and then—oh, my, how he would swear! It was just terrific. Ho was of a portly build and had a commanding presence. One sum mer afternoon ho took a seat on deck, and feeling drowsy soon fell into a sound sleep. One of the boys, bent on mischief, lighted a match and held it as near the captain’s nose as possible. In a moment he jumped to his feet and shouted: “Bear up! Boar up! I smell .” The steamboats of that period had frightful habit of racing, and sometimes had accidents occurred, hut that did not put a stop to the practice. The rivalry seemed to consist more in getting into port ahead of time than to gain a reputa tion ftv speed. Captain Blake had a deep rooted dislike to the captain of the General Wayne and never lost a chance to make the Illinois get ahead of that steamer if possiblo. Yvhenever his boat gained the vic tory, his exultation knew no hounds. During one particular trip the lakes were rough tho whole distance from Buffalo to Chicago. The Illi nois was the first to leave port, hut the Wayne got ahead somewhere on Lake Huron. Then Captain Blake gave orders for more steam, and it was pot long until tho Wayne was left behind. The Illinois kept ahead after that and arrived at Chicago on time, landed the passengers and freight, loaded up again and was making the downward trip, reach ing Southport (Kenosha) just as the Wayne was putting out for Chicago, Captain Blako stood upon the how of tho Illinois and saluted the captain of tho Wayne in stentorian tones with these words: ‘There is a man in Chicago await ing the arrival of tho General Wayne!”—Chicago Tribune. She Insisted. I ran across old Job Holloway, the famous coach driver of half a cen tury ago, yesterday. Once I rode with him on the National turnpike through Virginia. There were seven passengers—six men and an old maid. The latter com plained of sore -throat one morning and inquired of f-he men' how-it could bo cured, Each said that he had been a victim at gome time or other, but had forgot ten how ho managed to get rid of it. Finally tho oldest man in the party said that he had a bad case when he was young, hut that the cure he' used wouldn’t do the old lady any good. At first she thought this was a reflection upon her age, but, being of a sensible mind, she determined to press him for his prescription. *‘ 1 But there is no use telling you, madam,” he protested. “It won’t do you any good.” - “I’m sure it 'will,'’ she urged, “Do tell me. J will certainly try it at once.” Thus driven to it, he said, “I just let my beard grow under my chin!” —New York Press. ;f you want cheep rnr vy real estate, call and see us. 3 will make it to your In terest , Yill make Bye year loans ;ight per cent.

Even at the risk of telling what every schoolboy ought to know I will say that carbon- is ono of the commonest as well as one of the most remarkable substances in na ture. A lump of coke only differs from a piece of carbon by the ash Which tho coke leaves behind when burned. As charcoal is almost en tirely carbon, so wood is largely composed of this same element. •Carbon is indeed present every where. In various forms carbon is s in the earth beneath our feet and in the air which we breathe. This sub stance courses with tho blood through our veins. It is by carbon that the heat of tho body is sustain ed, and the same element is inti mately associated with life in every phase. Nor is the presenco of carbon merely confined to this earth. We know it abounds on other bodies in space. It has been known to bo emi nently characteristic of the compo sition of comets. Carbon is not on ly intimately associated with arti-. cles of daily utility and of plenteous abundance, hut with the most, ex- ANKLE DEEP IN SUGAR. quonoe. My voice—great God, how should my voice penetrate into tho parterre? I believe I might as well have said, ‘Loris, I love thee,’ as ‘Loris, leave me.’ Nobody would have known the difference. Add to this that there were continuous whispering and murmuring in all parts of the house, in tho boxes, in the galleries, everywhere, all the time, from the beginning up to the curtain’s fall. My heart, my head, my voice, they seemed not to belong to me. I had no power over them. I was thinking of him all tho time —of him alone. Next day—intermission. We played only three times a week. The newspapers gave their final decision. They said I had something about mo that attracted attention, hut my voice—well, half of what I had said they could not hear, and the other half they wore unable to understand. The following day we had our sec ond performance—‘Denise.’ Tho theater—that immense barn—emp ty ! Only three or four rows of seats were taken and to tho right and left two or throe boxes. “Comedy indeed! Is there any thing more tragic than life? And there hofore those footlights I pray ed: ‘O Madonna, savo my friend! Save him, for ho has a father and a mother whose only hope in lifo he is. Save him and take mo in his stead. Let me die. Let me lose ev erything—my renown, my talents, my future—hut save him.’ “Two days later, and all was at an end. And we continued, playing comedy. As for myself, I heaped success upon success, and every tri umph I earned increased my sorrow, made me more wretched. Why had heaven refused the offering of my poor self? “On tho evening of Diotti’s death day I played ‘Fernando, ’ and thon and there I became what I. am. Then and thero I felt for the first time that I had a heart; that I had soul and blood in that heart. Then and there I learned that life is not base; only sorrowful and hard to bear. This I felt.

Not ono in ten adults knows how to breathe. To breathe perfectly is to draw tho breath in long, deep'in halations, slowly and regularly, so as to relieve the lower lungs of all noxious accumulations. Shallow breathing won’t do this. I have overcome nausea, headache, sleeplessness, seasickness and even more serious threatenings by simply going through a breathing exercise —pumping from my lower lungs, as it were, all .the malarial inhala tions of the day by long, slow, am- plo breaths.

B.) It purifies and enriches t’ e blood, eiiruinatrs microbes, More precious than gold, more pro cious than rubies, tho diamond it self is no more than the same ele ment in crystalline form. But the greatest of all the functions of car bon in the universe has j T et to he mentioned. This same wonderful element has been shown to he in all probability the material which con stitutes thoso glowing solar clouds to whose kindly radiation our very life owes its origin. There is no known motal and per haps no substance whatever which demands so high a temperature to fuse it as docs the element carbon. A filament of carbon—and a fila ment of carbon alono—will remain unfused and unbroken when heated by the electric current to the daz zling brilliance necessary for effect ive illumination. This is the reason why this particular element is so indispensablo for our incandescent electric lamps. Modern research has now taught us that just as tho elec trician has to employ carbon as the immediate agent in producing the brightest of artificial lights down hero so the sun in heaven uses pre cisely tho same eloment as tho im mediate agent in tho production of its transcendent light and heat. Owing to the extraordinary fervor which prevails in tho interior parts of the sun, all substances thero pres ent, no matter how difficult we may- find their fusion, would havo to sub mit to be melted—nay, even to be driven off into vapor. If submitted to tho heat of this appalling solar furnace, an iron poker, for instance, would vauish into invisible vapor. We can now understand what hap pens as the buoyant carbon vapors soar upward through tho sun’s at mosphere. They attain at last to an elevation where the fearful inten sity of the solar heat has so far abated that, though nearly all other elements may still remain entirely gaseous, yet the exceptionally re fractory carbon begins to return to the liquid state. At tho first stage in this return tho carbon vapor con ducts itself just as does tho ascend ing watery vapor from the earth when about to he transformed into a visible cloud. -Under tho influence of a chill tho carbon vapor collects into a myriad host of little beads of liquid. Each of these drops of liq uid carbon in tho glorious solar clouds has a temperature and a cor responding radiance vastly exceed ing that with which the filament glows in the incandescent electric lamp. When we remember further that the entire surface of our lumi nary is coated with these clouds, ev ery particle of which is thus intense ly luminous, we need no longer won der at that dazzling brilliance which, even across the awful gulf of 93,000,- 000 miles, produces for us tho inde scribable glory of daylight.—Mc Clure’s -Magazine. - JUST ABOUT A BOY.

Hoard of Wis consin is an old friend of New Or leans, notwithstanding the fact that his first acquaintance with the city ] and its attractions was made under peculiar circumstances. It was dur ing the time that tried men’s souls —when the forces of the Union were encamped at the outer gates and the Confederate troops were seriously thinking how best to get out of the warm location. General Lovell, who was in command of New Or leans when the Federals, in charge of General Butler, were knocking for admittance finally concluded that tho best thing to do under the circumstances was to evacuate and by his action turn the city over to the tender mercies of the opposed forces. Governor Hoard was among the Federals who constituted the troops of Butler, and when this general, with his soldiers, marched into the city, Governor Hoard marched with him. It was then that the govern or—ho was not-then a governor—re ceived his first impressions of a city .which at that -time-had achieved greatness among-, the commercial centers of the country. These im pressions have never died in his memory. - . “Why, ” said Governor Hoard, “I was ono of the most surprised men in the whole world. I had heard of fairy lands- in which the rivers ran wine and the hills were made of great lumps, erf sugar, hut I had never con ceived of a city whose streets wore knee deep in sweetness. Yet this was just the case when we entered New Orleans. I absolutely waded ankle deep in sugar, and that in the streets along the river. While the affair has become a matter of his tory I shall never forget tho sight. You see, the fact of the blockade of the port had caused a vast” quantity of the products of the south, chiefly sugar and cotton, to pile up in the city, and the inability of its owners to ship the stuff Resulted in the warehouses being filled to overflow ing. -When General Lovell realized thafho must give up the fight an<L leave the city, ho determined to ren der it impossible for the Union sol diers to make use of the accumula tion of stores. To this end ho gave orders for its destruction, and hun dreds of hogsheads of new sugar were violated and their contents cast into the streets jnst like so much river sand. It was a useless com modity for the time being, and great .masses of tho stuff were piled up where the destruction occurred. When wo marched into the section of the city ■where the sugar had been stored, wo literally waded in sugar. I never saw such waste in all my life in this respect, while all along the levee front wero tho evi dences of the burning of tho cotton which had been stored thero wait ing for an opportunity for shipment to Europe.”—Now Orleans Times- Democrat.

She got up and flung tho things into tho trunk— towels, tidies, books, anything that camo to hand. Then she sat on tho trunk, got it locked, popped into bed and was fast asleep beforo they got it out of the room.

Valuable Advice. A Boston woman, who had bought a mechanical toy of-a street vender and.found when she got home that if wonkln’t work got some valuable advice from the vender n8xfceday= she took it back. “J didn’t sell yojL that, ’ ’ brazenly,said fibe,vendct, “i0 I can’t change it, of course. I only 1 ’ began selling -toys, ’like that this morning. But I’ll tell yon what you ought to do. of the boys had had strict orders from his father never to share in the building of these fires, and, be ing an obedient boy, he never col lected the material for the fire or •contributed the matches. His fa ther had not forbidden him, howev er, to furnish soihe raw potatoes for a feast by baking them in the em bers. It was this consciousness of inno cence that made the hoy stand when a policeman hove in sight around the corner the other day. All the other lads skedaddled. Tho police man came up with a stride. “Did you build this fire?” “No, sir,” said the lad without the least show of fear. The police man began to respect, him, hut it would not do to relax his severity. “Whatchegotinyerhan?” he said sternly, and running his words all together to impress the boy. The boy began to see that the presence of the potato was prima facie evidence in the policeman’s eyes of guilt, but he was still con scious of innocence, and he replied frankly: “Just a potato.” “ Whatyergointodowi tbit? ” Tho full gravity of the situation now dawned upon the boy - 3 mind, and under tho sternness of the po liceman he saw that something had to he done. Visions of the jail that every boy dreads had begun to float before his eyes, and he made an ef fort to resort to desperate means. “Oh, I’m going to eat it.” “Do you eat raw potatoes?” said the policeman, relaxing a little and not running his words together in a terrifying way. His manner gavd the lad a hope, and he replied with a cordiality that secreitly amused the cop, hut the end of which the lad could not foresee. “Oh, yes, I eat ’em. You see, I like ’em.” “Where do you live?” asked tho cop, turning his head to hide a smile. The hoy told him, and hoy and cop went over to a basement door. To the servant who answered tho ring the policeman said: “Does this boy livo lioro?” “Yes, sir.” “Well, now, then (very stornly), I charge' you on your he uor, tell me truly, does this hoy eat raw pota toes?” The policeman was nearly burst ing with laughter, and the servant stood there in blank astonishment. The hoy was wildly desperate. He was surely booked for jail, all be cause ho had been honest enough not to run when tho polioaman came. The only one who could save him was that servant. He must give her a tip, and quick as a fla sh he spoke before the girl could ask: tho police man what he meant: “Oh, yes, you know .1 eat ’em, don’t you? Why, yon can both see for yourselves. I like ’ei n. I eat ’em, skins and all.” Then the hoy smashed .his teeth into the potato, and that Brooklyn cop was mean enough to stsmd there and make the boy eat half of it. The cop could endure its no longer, and with a laugh said: “See here, youngste f, if I catch you eating any more of. them things I’ll send you up sure..” And thon he rolled off. The worst of tho, experience to that boy was not 1 As fright nor the lecture his fathe c gave him to the effect that itwou' jd have been better to tell the truth r fin. the way through, even after he b' joame scared, nor the inconvenience tl»e raw potato caused him, hut the fact that since then when ho tarns trp his nose at some dish at tho tablo his parent says: “ Wol 7 ., I gneas that any hoy who likos raw potatm js can eat that dish or go without.” All of which illustrates tho truM 1 of tho fact that sometimes, especial ly for hoys, it does not pay to tell a lie.—New Y'jr): Sun. in cog.” and mixed himself in such companies and conversation as he thought proper. One night, his boot requiring immediate mending, he was directed to a cobbler. Unluck ily it happened to he St. Crispin’s holiday, and, instead of finding the cobbler inclined for work, he was in the height of his jollity among his acquaintances. The emperor ac quainted him with what he wanted and offered a handsome gratuity. “What, friend, ” says the fellow, “do you know no better than to ask any of our craft to work on St. Crispin’s day? Was it Charles V himself I’d not do a stitch for him now. But if you’ll oomo in and drink to St. Cris pin, do and welcome. We are as merry as the emperor can be.” The sovereign accepted his offer, but while he was contemplating their rude pleasure, instead of join ing in it, the jovial host thus accosted him: “But I suppose you are some courtier, politician or other, by that contemplative phiz. But he who or what you will, you’re heartily wel come. Drink about. Hero’s Charles V’s health.” “Thon you love Charles V?” re plied the emperor. “Love him !” says the eon of Cris- i pin. “Aye, aye, I love his long r. e- ship well enough, but I should love him much moro would he hut tax us a little less. But what the devil have j we to do with politics? Round with | the glass, and merry he our hearts!” After a short stay tho emperor, took his leave and thanked tho cob-1 bier for his hospitable reception. “That,” cried he, “you To welcome j to, but I would not havo dishonored ■ St. Crispin to havo worked for the j emperor.” Charles, pleased with the honest; gxiod nature and humor of tho fel low, sont for him next morning to court. Ono may imagine his surprise to sea and hear that his late guest was his sovereign. He feared his J joke on his long nose would he pun ished with death. The emperor, however, thanked him for his hos pitality and as a reward for it bid him ask for what he most desired and take the whole night to settle his surprise and ambitiqp. Next day he appeared and request- crown upon it. That request was granted, and, so moderate was his ambition, the emperor bid-him make another. “If,” says he, “I am to have my utmost wishes, command that for the future the Company of Cobblers shall take the place of the Company of Shoemakers.” It was accordingly so ordained, and to tliis day there is to he seen a chapel in Flanders adorned round with a boot and an imperial crown on it, and in all processions the Company of Cob blers takes tho place of the Company of Shoemakers. — Pittsburg Dis patch.
