“How was that?”
“Certainly.” •
“I was coming from New Orleans
on the (ieorge Cromwell in August
1S7J. Some time ago? Yes, but
the story connects closely with tlie
1,0w of half a minute ago. This
lady, then fourteen years younger
(as you will find if you count your
lingers), was brought to the pier
jnd as the vessel was about to start.
She was very beautiful. Her father,
a dapper little old man, with dyed
hair and moustaches, was most
affectionate in his parting with the
Jair young girl. Who was hurried
on board the boat. The gangway
was pulled ashore and we were oft'.
Now,she was the one beautiful wo
man among the passengers, and the
young men of the ship’s company
were anxious to make her acquaint
ance. She was shy and repelled us
all. Oil! you needn’t smile, I was
not so red in the face fourteen years
ago and she might have done worse.
Well, toward evening we got out
on tiie gulfot Mexico. It was quite
rough. My lady, the unknown
beauty, was helped on deck by her
ancient maid and looked very pale.
She was about to be seasick. I
knew the symptoms, though I am
never ill on the water. It probably
rained salt on the day I was born,
for I have tin affection for the briny
deep. Now, all of a sudden it oc
curred to me that my friends, Cap
tain Norton and Judge Weldon, of
Bayou Sara, had sent a couple of
bottles of flue old blackberry bran
dy to my stateroom for my use on
the voyage. Here was a use for
some of it.
TO A OOOI) PURPOSE.
“Iii a jiffy 1 was down in the cab
in, lmd borrowed a corkscrew and
nml had a bottle open. I carried a
small glass of tho excellent liquor
to the deck, and, approaching the
servant, said: ‘Excuse me, madam,
but the young lady appears ill. If
you will permit me, as a physician,
to prescribe for her 1 think this will
relieve her at once.’
“‘But you are not a doctor?’ ”
“True. I was just at that moment,
however. She was not what she
seemed any more than 1 was. But
to continue—
“Yes, go ahead.”
“The glass was accented, and the
result was that on the following
day I made every other man on the
ship unhappy by taking a little
walk on deck with the slender, dark
eyed girl. My God! she was beau
tiful then. It was my first attack,
and I was gone in a few hours. She
was very gentle, modest and lady
like. Her education lmd been well
eared tor—in a convent, if 1 remem
ber.”
“Well?”
“We were together very much.
Nlie evinced a decided preference
for me. I was flattered and—don’t
smile like that—happy.
ON DANGEROUS GROUND.
“One night, the last before we
reached New York, somebody pro
posed cards in the social hull. It
Mils agreed upon, and the game
was soon made up. Wo played
whist for atime. The other passen
gers came in, and as there was only
one table somebody expressed a
curiosity to know how the gamo of
faro was played. They wanted to
see the game anil play it ‘Just for
fun.’ The idea was not a had one,
but 1 kept still, don’t you soo?
There sat my pretty-faced creature,
just onposite and I did not care to
let her know that 1 had over seen a
‘lay out,’ You see, a fellow cannot
pass for a spring lamb, who lias
gambled on the green much during
Ids youth. But my friend Charley
Brown, ot Broad street, was not so
particular. Just as a taunt to mo
bo said, “Glvo me the cards; I’ll
keep the bank and deal.’ He soon
bad all of the clubs out of one of
the two decks of cards and had
Bain spread out upon the table.
I hero wore plenty of Ivory chips,
uud giving them imaginary values,
we distributed them among the
players. The very instant the chips
touched the fingers of that girl her
and beside
the lamp*in the lighted cabin. She
acted very strangely.
A ('UMAX AND AN AWAKENING.
“I moved to her side of the table
to give her such direction as 1 could
without exposing my knowledge
of the game—which was not incon
siderable. As the deal progressed
she looked vacantly about the table
from time to time as though seek
ing something that was not there.
I even heard her murmur once,
‘Who keeps the game?’ hut did not
attach any importance to the words.
en the cards were nearly all
lifted from the table (for of course
Charley had no box to deal from)
lie said:
‘“Are you ready for the call ?’
“ ‘Yes,’ said my companion rather
abruptly.
“Now,’said Charley, ‘I will look
at the three last cards and t%ll you
their names. If you call the order
in which they turn up you will be
paid four for one. Seven, queen,
deuce.’
“Queen, deuce, seven, for $50!”
exclaimed Clairette, utterly ignor
ing me and almost elbowing mo
away as she laid hey money on the
corner of the queen.
“The deal was finished. She had
called,the turn!”
“Well ?”
“I didn’t speak. I was staggered.
I went out into the darkness of the
night and sought Captain Clapp, the
commander of the vessel.
“Who is that beautiful woman
whom you have seen me with so
much ?” I asked.
“Do you really want to know?”
“I must know.” •
“She is the daughter of Johnny
Pool, the king of New Orleans
gamblers.”
It was true. She did not appear
at breakfast. Nor did I. I have
never seen her since until now.
There was at least one very sad
heart that night. I don’t speak of
hers, but mine. And here she is
let’s take something.”

A Washinton letter to Cleveland
Leader says: A slender white whis
kered man sat near the fare box in
the upper end of an F street ear re
cently. He wore a high white l)er
by hat upon his head and his clothes
were of black broad cloth. A high
Henry Clay collar grasped his neck
and a pair black-rimmed spectacles
hung by a string upon Ii is vest. He
was chatting to a lady at his side,
and his black eyes sparkled, and a
most winning smile beamed over
his weather-beaten face as the con
versation went on. Tho car stop
ped, and I was surprised to see him
jump to his feet and walk rapidly
to the door. As my eyes followed
him they rested upon a little fair
faced hunchback on crutches
who was trying to get into the car.
I saw this slender, gray-whiskered-
bronzed-faced, dark-eyed man bend
over her and ask her where she
wanted to go. She told him, and
her face lighted up as he assured
her that this car was the right one.
Then addressing her with as much
courtesy as though she had been the
president’s new bride, lie asked her
if lie might net help her into the car.
She thanked him, and, putting his
hands under Iter arms, ho lifted her
up tho steps and placed her crutches
beside her. He tipped his hat and
then resumed his seat and conversa

Stop My l’apor.
Tho Sun and Banner, of Wil
liamsport says: After you get on
your ear and make up your mind
to stop your paper to make tho
editor feel humiliated just poke
your finger into water and then
pull it out and look for tho hole.
Then you know how you are miss
ed. The man who thinks a paper
cannot survive without his support
ought to go off and stay awhile.
When ho comes hack ho will find
half ot his friends didn’t know ho
was gone; the other half didn’t care
a cent, and the world at large didn’t
keep any account of his movements
whatever. You will probably’•find
something in your home paper you
cannot indorse. Even the Bible is
rather plain and hits some hard
licks. If you wore to stop your
paper and call the editor all sorts
of ugly names, the paper would still
he published. And what is more,
you will sneak around and borrow
a copy of it every day.
shelves by the tail, by a spider’s
web. The snake hung so that his
head could not reach the shelf be
low Hi in by an inch, and several
large spiders were then upon him
sucking his juices. Tito shelves
were about two feet apart, and the
lower one was just below the bot
tom of the cellar window, through
winch the snake probably passed
into it. From the shelf above it
there was a web in the shape of an
inverted cone, eight or ten inches
in diameter at the top, and concen
trated to a focus, about six or eight
inches from the underside of this
shelf. From this focus there was a
strong cord made of the multiplied
threads of tho spiders’ web, appa
rently as large as common sewing
silk, and by this cord the snake was
suspended.
Upon a critical examination
through a magnifying glass tho fol
lowing curious facts appeared: The
mouth of the snake was fast tied up
by a great number of threads,
wound around, it so tight that lie
could not put out his tongue. His
tail was tied in a knot so as to leave
a small loop or ring through which
tho cord was fastened, and the end
of tiie tail above this loop to the
length of something over half an
inch was lashed fast to the cord to
keep it from slipping.
As the snake hung the length of
the cord from his tail to the focus
to which it was fastened was about
six inches, and a littlo above the
tail there was observed around ball
about tho size of a pea. Upon in
spection this appeared to he a green
fly, around which the cord had been
wound as the windlass with which
the snake had been hauled up, and
a great number of threads were
fastened to the cord above and to
the rolling side of this ball to keep
it from unwinding and letting the
snake down. The cord, therefore,
must have been extended from the
focus of the web to the shelf below,
where the snake was. lying when
first captured, and being made fast
to tiie loop in his tail, the fly was
carried and fastened about midway
to the side of the cord. And then
by rolling this fly over and over it
wound tiie cord around it, both
from above and below it, until the
snake was raised to the proper
height-, and then was fastened as
above mentioned. In this situation
the suffering snake hung, alive, and
furnished a continual feast for sev
eral large spiders until Saturday
forenoon, tho Kith, when some per
sons, by playing with him broke
the web above the focus so as to let
part of his body rest on tiie shelf
below. In this situation he lin
gered, the spiders taking no notice
of him, until Thursday last—eight
days after ho was discovered—when
some large ants were found devour
ing his “dead body.”

Graham succsssfully accomplished
the feat of swimming the whirlpool
rapids at Niagara, in which Captain
Webb lost his life. The trip was
made in a peculiar shaped cask,
manufactured by Graham, and
which was .placed in the river on
the American side, just below the
falls. When everything was in
readiness, Graham got into tho bar
rel and closed the manhole at Hie
top from within. At this point of
the river the current is very slight.
A small boat towed’ the tank out
into tho river to a point where the
current would catch it, and then
Graham was started on what might
have turned out to be ids trip to
eternity. The towing process took
only a few minutes and then tiie
stream caught the cask and started
it on towards the rapids and the
whirlpool. At first it moved slowly
along, then faster and faster, until
tiie mad current dashed it on with
its full force. The cask bounded up
and down over tiie great waves,
and several times turned a com
plete somersault, but generally
sneaking, the wider portion re
mained uppermost, although it
twirled around like a top. The cask
kept pretty well in tiie center of
the river, until it readied the whirl
pool, when it struck the strong side
current, and was carried swiftly
down, reaching the waters beyond
in safety. From here the journey
was comparatively quiet. Thecask
floated on towards Lewiston, right
side up, and all danger was passed.
It was picked up at Lewiston, about
live miles below the starting point,
and Graham crawled out of tho
barrel uninjured, with the excep
tion of a slight bruise on one arm,
which he received when passing
through the whirlpool. “When I
struck tiie eddies it was one contin
ual round of jerks, but I am not
hurt a bit.”
The Convicts In Dade Coal Mines Strike.
Atlanta, Ga., July 13,—A muti
ny has broken out among the con
victs in the Dade coal mines which
threatens to be serious. There are
in all at the mines about 500 con
victs, long term men, convicted of
great crimes and generally desper
ate characters. Yesterday morn
ing 120 engaged at the mines struck
and refused to work. No threats or
persuasion moved them. Col. John
I*. Towers, the principal keeper,
was telegraphed the situation, and
after consultation with the govern
or left yesterday evening for Cole
City. These facts were not given to
the press till to-day, in the hope that
the trouble was not serious. This
morning keeper Towers telegraphed
the governor that the convicts
would not surrender and dared him
to shoot. He apprehended trouble.
The governor ordered tho Gate
City Guard to he in readiness to go
to Cole City on a special train at a
minute’s notice. A later dispatch
from Col. Towers stated that he had
the convicts in a building and
would not need a further force, but
that there were only two ways in
which to subdue them—either to
kill four or five of the leaders or
starve them out. The governor
countermanded his order to the
Gate City Guard and advised Col.
Towers to. with-hold all supplies
from the convicts till they yielded.
This was the situation at dark. It
is generally believed that there will
be no further or serious develop
ments.
The Champion Crank.
New York, July 13.—Nicholas
Peterson, the champion crank ot
tlit' season, has started again for
Europe in a row boat. He has tried
it several times before, but as he
knows nothing whatever about the
the management of a boat, has al
ways failed to get more than a mile
or two before capsizing. He start
ed from Long Branch last Thurs
day on his favorite journey, and
was fished out nearly drowned
clinging to his upturned boat, after
lie had been soaking m the briny
waves for hours. He returned to
this city on Saturday not a whit
discouraged, though he concealed
his purpose of making another start
at once, and promised to report for
work at the stables where lie is em
ployed this morning. When lie
failed te appear a search was insti
tuted, which showed that ho- had
set out once more across the sea.
The harbor police are looking for
him with tiie expectation of finding
him before morning capsized as
usual. Peterson is a Swede about
forty-five years old, with 1>1 ue eyes
and sandy hair, whiskers and mus
tache. He is gifted with manias,
believing, among other things, that
lie lias been cheated out of untold
wealth.

Tt is wondered by some people
how tho president of the United
States can pay out of his salary the
numerous expenses attached to ids
office. These tire separate appro
priations. Besides the president’s
salary of $50,009, tho estimate pre
sented to congress this session ask
ed for $3(1,004 additional to pay the
salaries of his subordinates and
clerks. Ilis private secretary is
paid. $3,230; his assistant private
secretary, $2,250; his stenographer,
$1,800; tlyo messengers, each $1,200;
a steward, $1,800; two doorkeepers,
who each get $1,200; four other
clerks at good salaries, one tele
graph operator, two ushers, getting
$1,200 and $1,100; a night usher,
getting $1,200; a watchman, who
gets $900; and a man to take care
of tires, who receives $801 a year. In
addition to this thero is set down
$8,000 for incidental expenses, such
as stationery, carpets and tho care
of tho president’s stables. And
further on, under another heading,
there is a demand for nearly $10,000
more. Of this $12,500 Is for repairs
and furnishing tho White House,
$2,500 for fuel, $3,000 is for tho green
house, and $15,000 Is for gas and the
stables. The White House, all told,
costs tho country, in connection
with tho president considerably
over $125,000 a your, and at that
rate is cheaper relatively to the
work done than the service of con
gress.

How to Dress for Cremation.
The incineration last Tuesday of
the body of Mrs. Emily Codman, of
Long Island, at the crematory near
Fresh Pond, makes, the forty-ninth
cremation since the erection of tiie
building last December. . The di
rectors of the company are contem
plating the addition of important
improvements to the crematory, to
meet the increase of custom. A
glass urn of about the size of a gal
lon and a half, filled with a white
powder, attracted considerable at
tention yesterday. It was in a
niche in tho wall, and contained
the remains of a body recently in
cinerated.
“IIow is the body usually dressed
before being put into the fur
nace?” was asked the manager in
charge.
“Well, that depends,” was the an
swer. “We usually burn the body
just as it comes to us. Sometimes
tlie deceased is dressed in most
costly garments and incased in a
magnificent collin. All is consum
ed. It is best, however, to dress the
body in plain, white goods. Tiie
bones are better bleached then.
Black rather interferes with the
bleaching process.”
It is reported that crematories
are soon to he built in Texas, De

Mr. Dunlap said In conversation recently:
“About four years ago I had a severe attack
of rheumatism, which completely disabled
mo for a time, and which developed Into
what is eommonnly Called ‘chronic,’ attack
ing me when least expected, and laying me
up entirely; incapacitating me for any kind
ot business, and causing me as much trouble
In a day as should bo crowded In a lifetime.
After one c f my most severe attacks, and
when I had just got able to hobble around, I
met Mr. J. M. Hunnicutt, an old friend, and
lie said lie could make a remedy that would
cure mo, and by gracious, lie did. I took two
bottles of his stuff, prepared from roots and
herbs, and I have never hud a twinge of rheu
matism since. The medicine was not pre
pared for sale at that time, but was manufac
tured by Mr. Hunnicutt for his friends.
About six months ago it was determined to
place It upon tto market, and a Arm wus or
ganized for tliat purpose. Two weeks ago, In
the midst of my Buffering, I noted In one of
their advertisements that it was good for kid
ney troublesalso. I knew It would cure rheu
matism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles
at once and determined to give It a fair show
at a kidney disease of long standing. It may
seem extravagant, but the llrst day’s use gave
me relief, and before I had completed taking
one bottle my disagreeable symptoms had
entirely disappeared. I have used two bot
tles up to tills time, and I have not felt a trace
of my disease for a week.”
