Sea Lions In Central Park.
The eight sen lions at Central Park,
New York, are just now attracting much
attention. They were captured about a
month ago on St Paul’s and St George’s
Islands, off the coast of Alaska, and ar*
rived here last week overland from San
Francisco. The animals made the jour
ney in big crates, reaching their destina
tion in just six days and eight hours.
Thoy were badly frightened by their trip,
and would not eat anything at first, but
they were nevertheless the eight happiest
sea lions in axistenoo when they were set
free in the cranes’ pond at the Park and
found that the water was really wet
They plunged into the pool one after an
other as fast as they were released, and
speedily congregated in the centre, where
they poked up their long, shining noses
like dogs barking at the moon, and bel
lowed “Owl ow! ow!” Then they turned
over and over like acrobatic dolphins
with big flippers, and made the water
foam until they were tired with their ex
ertions, when they reassembled in the
centre of the basin and rubbed noses and
caressed each other in their excess of
ioy. There is a nioe little house on- the
banks of the basin filled with soft hay,
and the ground for some distance around
the house is liberally strewn with hav.
But the lions at first preferred to huddfle
together in the basin where nobody could
get a good view of them. Keeper Peter
Shannon tried to rout them out with a
long pole, but his efforts only resulted
in setting the aea lions like
tigers. Several expedients were tried
with a similar result. Finally Herman
Beiche produced a family umbrella, and
holding it toward tha lions, opened and
shut it as fast as he could. The lions
gave a terrific chorus of “ows,” which
they changed to a prolonged snarl of
“b-r-r-r,” and with awkward, ungainly
flounders clambered over the sides of the
baain and flopped along the bank in great
haste to eaaape from the umbrella.
Keeper Shannon says that if the lions
try hard they can climb over the iron
fence that surrounds the pond. There
are four pairs. The largest bull weighs
between QOO and 900pounds and is about
ten yean old. The smallest female, or
cow, as the females are generally called,
is about half as heavy as the heaviest
bull and about half as large. The bulls
are dark-brown, and the females axe of
a beautiful light-brown oolar. They eat
fresh herring. Probably two pain will
be aant to Geonany.-—IrOuiui
^ Attachedto the United States Mail serv
ice is a corps of sharp-witted and keen
eyed detectives, whose exploits are seldom
recorded in the columns of the newspa
pers, but who perform no small part in
the safe conduct of the postal arrange
ments of the country. The men vriio
compose the corps arc known as poetoffice
inspectors. They are sometimes con
founded with the agents of the United
States Secret Service Bureau, but are in
fact of an entirely distinct and separate
organization, having not even a remote
connection with the latter.
New York is the most fruitful field for
the postoffice inspector to exercise his
genius. The headquarters of the corps
was formerly situated at the southeast
corner of the Federal building, up one
flight of stairs, but recently, on account
of the public character of the situation,
the bureau was transferred to two laige
apartments on the fourth floor, where the
work of the office is carried on free from
the noise of the street and the intrusion of
the public.
Every complaint which comes to tha
postmaster of letters which have never
found their destination is referred to the
inspector for his thorough examination.
Not a day goes by in which there are not
several complaints of this description, and
consequently the inspector’s hands are full
with the hundreds of cases which ac
cumulate so rapidly as to overburden his
desk.
It is said of & great express company
that it never permits a dishonest employe
to go unpunished, even if it should re
quire years of high-priced detective skill
it which to hunt him down, no matter
how small may be the amount of loss
which the company has suffered. Rec
ords show that this express company has
pursued a thieving servant for twenty
years before a capture was effected.
The United States Government is scarce
ly less relentless with the robbers of the
mails, but it seldom takes so long a time
to corner the culprit. There is no branch
of public or private industry where die-
honesty is so certain of ultimate detection
as in the United States postal service. A
single theft may possibly escape notice,
but a succession of thefts will make the
thief a apprehension but a question of
time.
The postoffice inspector is always a
quiet, gentlemanly person. His dress is
that of a well-to-do business man. Thera
is nothing about him of the detective of
fiction or the drama. He is familiar with
the faces of hundreds of the subordinates
of the office, few of whom know him <
by sight. His presence is always
dreaded.
One of the inspectors attached to the
New York postoffice told a New* reporter
the other day some of the methods used
in the detection of criminals in the i
ice. The narrator is a tall, slender per
sonage, of perhaps forty years, who has
passed the major part of his life in the
postal sendee, having been ir. the postof-
nce in Boston, in the railway mail service
between Boston and this city, and later
an inspector in charge of the Southern
division of the department. A keen,
dark eye and shrewd Yankee face are all
that distinguish him from the thousands
one meets in elbowing one’s way through
crowded Broadway. He said:
“When a clerk or letter-carrier once
begins to pilfer from the mails he never
stops until arrested. Upon that fact de
pends the certainty of his apprehension
sooner or later. The chief weapon upon
which we rely for catching the criminal
is the decoy letter, in which is inclosed a
marked bill or bills. I could tell many
an interesting experience in that connec
tion.”
The inspector then took from a ca
pacious pocketbook a $1 United States
Treasury note well marked in blue ink.
“I have,” he continued, “caught ten
thieves with this particular bill. Some
how, I do not know why, there is a cer
tain fatality connected with marked bills,
and if I put one marked - and two un
marked bills in a letter which is stolen,
the thief seldom spends the one which is
sure to cause his dctectron.
“I lost the other day, however, a $1
bill which caused the arrest of over forty
clerks and letter-carriers. It was literally
covered with private marks. I placed in
it a decoy letter with one marked bill to
catch a fellow attached to an uptown
branch office. When I arrested the man
I found this note I have in my hand, but
the other was gone. I offered to give
him $10, if he would tell me where he
S ient it, but he refused.”—New York

Quite a Disturbance.
A newspaper printed at Dolores, Ar
gentine Republic, which is situated near
the Yolcanio region, gives an account of
a mysterious shower of stones which fell
near that city a few weeks ago. The
stones are said to have fallen as thick as
hail, and varied in sized from a pebble
to a respectable sized boulder. Incal
culable damage was done to the crops,
tall trees were shivered to atoms, barns
and out-houses were demolished, and
many domestic ftnimnl* were killed. In
some localities the ground was covered
with the bodies of wild geese and hawks
which appeared to have been killed dar
ing their flight in the air. Several i
son were struck and tadly injured w!
at work in the fields, and in the city it-
self, which missed the violence of the
shower, one dwelling was wrecked. The
stones are said to have fallen continu
ously for more than a minute.
Daniel in the Lion’s Den.
A rich old speculator imagined that he
knew all about art, whereas he was ai
ignoramus in regard to everything, ii
fact, except in making money. This old
fraud determined to make a valuable
present to his son-in-law, who was a
preacher.
It was suggested to him that an oil
painting representing Daniel in the Lion’s
Den would be very appropriate, so an
order was given to a painter to produce,
the work of art. It was almost finisl '
when the old speculator was called to
spcct it. It represented a cross sect
of the den with Daniel walking ab
among the lions. «7hen the old man
saw the picture ho refused to take it.
He insisted that if Daniel was in the den
neither he nor the lions could be seen
and the artist had to cover the lions an<
Dan with a thick coat of blade paint.
When the son-in-law was presented
with the picture he was somewhat dazed
to know what it represented.
“It represents Daniel in the Lion’s
Den,” replied the art critic.
“But I don’t see either of them.”
“That makes no difference. They are
in there. I saw ’em myself.”—From the
German, in Sifting*.
A Bomb Test.'
The inventor of a new kind of bomb,
for which a patent is pending, came to
see the Commissioner of ’Patents at
•Washington. He brought with him a
specimen bomb, which was enclosed in a
pasteboard case, and he showed it to the
Commissioner’s Private Secretary, Mr.
Will Montgomery. The inventor said
that it would go off as soon as it touched
water, and this spedmen would make a
noise when exploded like a fire cracker.
The Private Secretary had some curios
ity to see the bomb tested, and sent out
and procured a pail of water. When
the bomb was thrown into the water the
effect was startling. The water
forced up with violence to the ceiling,
and feU in a shower pretty well all over
the room; while the noise of the explo
sion sounded like the report of a cannon.
As soon as the few spectators could wipe
the water aut of their eyes, they pro
nounced tha test a success.
labor. Th ese men are of i Q __,
from a youth of sixteen to men bowed
down by three score years and ten—men
whose sentences range from one to fifty-
five years, while others have been sen
tenced for life. What is still more re
markable, the “lifetimers,” as they are
called, are said to be the most contented
and best workers, and those who in a
free state are laiy, indolent and averse
to labor of any kind are the most relia
ble and industrious. The secret of all
this is the fact that the quality and ser
vice of their food and the limited privi
leges they enjoy are dependent npon
their behavior and the amount and
quality of the labor they perform. The
eating department of the prison is divid
ed into three grades, and is designated
1 the prisoners as the “bean table,”
iull beef” and “mutton chop.” The
dining-room for the (< beqpffiplsle” is fit-
> with tables consisting of a single
about ten inches wide, upon which,
about every three feet, is securely nailed
a tin dish containing pepper and salt.
The beans and other rough food are
served on tin plates, and knives and
forks are not provided. The food is
wholesome, but it must be eaten in the
most primitive style, and the prisoners
are not allowed to speak to one another
daring meal time. All new prisoners
are placed at the “bean table,’’ and it ia
not until their excellent conduct and in
dustry commends them to the manage
ment that they are promoted to the “bull
beef table.” Here the fare is more
varied, the prisoners axe seated at tables,
furnished with wholesome beef, vegeta
bles, &o. This is quite a step in ad
vance of the “bean table,” and many
prisoners never get beyond it. The
••mutton chop table” is the height of the
prisoner’s ambition. Here he is seated
at a regular dining-table; he has a full
complement of dishes, though all are of
tin; he has a knife and fork; the table is
furnished with casters; he has a mutton
stew, stewed beef, meats in variety,
vegetables in season, and is allowed to
converse freely with his fellows. It is a
distinction he is proud of, one that he
has worked hard to obtain, and one that
he will maintain, no matter how hard
the struggle. The prisoners are treated
kindly; the “mutton chop” men are
shown great consideration by the officers,
and from this olass little or no trouble is
ever experienced, for an infraction of
the roles sends them back to the “bean
table,” from which they find it difficult
to again obtain irhat they have lost.
A Famous Detective.
James Jackson, the famous State detec
tive, resides in Sing Sing, and is generally
in attendance at the prison. His duties
are to examine carefully the face of every
convict as he enters, and to scrutinize
every visitor in order to prevent any dia-
chaiged convict from seeing his pals.
Occasionally he has to make long jour
neys in pursuit of runaway prisoners or to
identify criminals convicted in other
States. He never makes a mistake; if
once he looks a man in the eye he will
know him under any disguise, as he tells
his man by the look of his ey es» Once an
escaped convict had his noae pared
down one-third, bat Jackson detected
him at once, notwithstanding this remark
able change of feature, air. Jackson
is about 5 feet 8 inches in height, about
85 years old. of a light and sinewy build,
with black nair ana piercing black eyes,
and is altogether remarkably handsome.
He knows about 10,000 criminals, and it
is simply wonderful that be can distin
guish the features of every one. On his
long journeys he eats very moderately
and always takes one Brandreth pill at
nightj When much fatigued by the jolt
ing of the care on bit tiresome tripe he
uses two Allcock’s Porous Plasters on
the small of the back, which give him
renewed vigor and quickly relieve him
of all weariness. These are the only two
remedies he uses, and he attributes his
vigor and remarkable health to Allcock’s
Porous Plasters and Brandreth’s Pills.—

Killed by a U. S. Shell.
A Nagasaki journal has been received
at the Navy Department, giving an ao-
oount of the bursting of a shell and the
killing of a number of Japanese there.
The shell was fired from the United
States steamer Omaha in target practice
within the shore limit prohibited by the
Japanese Government, and was found
on the beach by the natives after the
Omaha had sailed from Nagasaki. The
Japanese journal says the United States
Government will no doubt pay any rea
sonable indemnity to the sufferers.
Although it would soem impossible
for the men on the Omaha not to see
the settlement on the island of Ikesh-
ima, her big guns blazed away, and the
first ball, a solid shot, fell npon the roof
of a school house, and passing through,
dropped hack of one of the schoolmast
ers who was eating his midday meal.
The man was so frightened that he
fainted.
The Omaha’s guns continue''", their
firing, and the balls fell near the natives’
houses. The inhabitants fled to a cave
on the eastern side of the island, where
they remained till the firing ceased, and
then came from the cave and gathered
up two of the missiles. ‘One of them

In the Spring
Nearly everybody needs n good medicine. The
purities which have accumulated In the blood dur-
in? ihe cold months must be expelled, or wfc
mlMdayscome, and the *ffect of bracing air Is lost,
the body Is liable to be overcome by defaUlty a
serious disease. The remarkable success achieved
by Hood's Saraparil a, and the many words of praise
It has received, make it worthy your eoxtfldenoe.

Onok over Che tar ai its entrance from
the Gulf, the Suwanee River holds its
wav with a deep current, in places of
forty feet, far up through the forests of
the beet hard pine in the State. It is
the Penobscot of Florida. It has soma
good laud upon it where plantations
nave heretofore been made, but -after a
while generally abandoned. The dark
river has, too, its romance, as being the
place which gave rise to the melody
whioh, like **Home f Sweet Home,” the
affection of the heart will never let go.
For it was here that a French family in
the time- of Louis XIV came over and
settled upon the Suwanee and made %
plantation. After a while the father
and mother and all died save one daugh
ter, who, disheartened and desolate, re
turned to France, snd there wrote,
adopting In part that negro dialect
which she had been familiar with on the
plantation in her girlhood, a farfinw
tribute to “the old folks, at horns” in
their graves in tha far-off country.
