Five years ago lust summer, when J ellow juck phtyed such havoc in Rio aheiro, it wo* almost impossible to get men to ship for that port, and ipany vowels went out short handed, amoitg tticm the good ship Clio, of Baltimore, of which I shipped bout- sw&iii and acting second mate, said an old skipper to a reporter. There waR nothing remarkable about the voyage out We hud a good run, arrived safely, discharged our Hour and took in our coffee without hnving a man sick with the fever or anything else. Jn Dio wo nicked up a young Kng lishman, Ned Ilalpiu by name, a thorough sailor, who soon became a prime favorite with all hands. We passed Cu|mj St. Roque on (he homeward voyage, ono dark, squully nigh t with now and then a (lush of rain. The wind was southeast, and 1 walked the quarter deck, impatiently wasting for eight bells, llulpin was just coining down the uiizzen rigging, when 1 saw him swing fur over the side and peer earnestly into the sea. When ho dropped to deck 1 asked what ho was looking at He replied; “Well, Mr. Shelby, 1 either saw my twin brother swallowed by a shark, or I saw my own ghost and the ghost of a shark, und 1 never had a brother, so it must be uio.” I charged him with having rum in the forecastle and with drinking more than was good for him, and 'ordered him forward. Ho started, but as he reached the break of Iho half deek ho called me. “Thoro it is now,” ho said, pointing into tho water clear'longside. I looked, but saw nothing but the rushing phos phorescent foam as tho sous broke against tho vessel's side. I admit that I was somowhul im pressed by the man's earnestness, hut ordered him forward roughly, and, eight hells striking soon after, tho in cident pussod my mind. Tho nights for about two weeks were alternately squally und flue, uml every squally night Nod would see that iinuge. Wo madu a quick run with good weather from latitude 10 north to the C-upesof Chesapeake and would have forgotten all about tho matter had not Ned often said: “Boys, I’ll never see Baltimore." Whon tho white tower of Cape Henry oiimo in sight many n joke was passed regard ing Noil’s shark, but tho poor fellow ■hook his heud sadly and muttered: “I’ll never see Baltimore." A tugboat took us in tow and tho men wero aloft furling gullunt sails, when there was a cry und u splash of water, then a shriek of mortal anguish, and as tho cry of "Man overboard I" rang through the ship poor Ned’waa seen to sink beneath tho cdlm surface of tho bay, his lifo blood staining tho water around him, while tho dorsal fin of tho shark that for twenty years baa haunted tho Virginia cupes told the horritlod witnesses that Ned’s vis ion was true, and added but another chapter to the psychological mysteries that happen from time to time, and which no mnn can expluin.—Philadel phia Times. A Co mn for a Couch. The girl has at once courted aud de fied superstition, for while her toilet appointments, paper knives, etc., are all in horseshoe shape or have for handles the left hind foot'of rabbits, she has a weird, moon shaped clock from which tho ill omonedcuckoo an nounces the hours. Tho most horrible comer of the room sho rurely shows, for it represents an unfulfilled pur pose. When sho furnished tho room, sho decided to have a coffin in it, a la Bernhardt She went to an undertaker, was measured, selected the stylo of oasket and then told the undertaker to have it sent to her boxed so that no one would know its contents. The poor man was ns scared as Turn o’ Shanter when ho saw the witches at Allowuy kirk. His fair patroness be longed to a largo family, and ho knew he would lose all chance of future pa tronage if tho father got wind of it, so he went to him and told him of his daughter's strange freak.. Thero was a breeze in the house that night whon the father gave his daughter the choice of his money or her coffin. That is the reason ono corner of her room hat no tenant save a skeleton and a black draped dais which was to have held the coffin. The girl who designed this horror breeding room has been a belle for two seasons, and people seeing her childlike face would take her for an artless debutante.—Miss Grundy's Washington Letter.

GOT HI3 OWN SPOONS. The Experience of n Wealthy Bachelor In Buying Wert ill ug Present*. The amount of shopping for wed ding gifts that is going on is some thing tremendous, and the man who at tho club tho other day remarked that ho had concluded to be married, so that ho could shift to the shoulders of his wife the responsibility of mak ing dinner culls und of buying wed ding gifts, was answered by a groan of sympathy from all the bachelors pres ent. And the mention of wedding gifts recalls one of the bits of light hut somewhat amusing gossip floating here. "The tale tells,” as WiIlium Morris suys in beginning his new vol ume, "that in times," not "long past," thero was a wealthy and artistic bucli- elor in Boston who sent to an acquaint ance as a wedding gift a set of berry spoons of a fashion pcculiur and unique. They pleased him much, hut they did not please the bride at all, and, sire, therefore, quietly took them hack to the house where they were bought and exchanged them. In the course of the winter the gentleman went to the same jeweler to procure a wedding gift for another friend, saw and recognized tho spoons, bought and presented them, still un marked, to the second bride. She liked them no Ix-tter than did her friend, und, like her friend, she took thenn back to the silversmith. But in full ness of time the original donor of the spoons took unto himself u wife, aud then one of his friends who had not heard of the first repurchase welit to the jeweler and said to him: "You know what Mr. J. would like. Tell mo what to give him as a wedding present." "I think," answered the jeweler with a smile, "that lie must like these spoons pretty well, for lie lias bought them twice.” "Then ho shall have them,’’ was the reply; "but I really think it will ho well to liavo them marked this time, so that they shall not come back again." And so it enmo about that Ihouniqun and most artistically ugly spoons came into tho possession of Mr. J., who do- dares tliut they aits tho handsomest berry spoons that ho oversaw.—Bos ton Cor. Chicago Tribune. Employment for tlio Whistling Boy. Every Saturday morning u crowd of small boys gather about the door of a bakery in Columbia street. Tho temptation is a chunoe to earn fifty cents for a day’s work offered by tho baker. Tho small boy is employed to pick over dried currants and raisins, to removotho stems from them and cull out tho utterly worthless. But the linker does a little culling among the hoys before he employs them, and his niodo of selection is original and curi ous. As each urchin enters tho august aud aproned presence of the chief cook lie is usked: "Do you know how to wliisUe?" Tho smart little hoy, who is not as truthful us the Father of his Country and has not posted himself in regard to the civil service requirements of the employment ho seeks, unblttshiugly suys "Nawl" ho does not whistle, lie also does not pick ruisins. Tho next boy is both truthful aud posted. Ho answers the baker's question with a bar from tho classical McGinty over ture, and is immediately introduced to tho room within where with u score of others ho is to find engagement. When all tho boys who have passed the ex amination satisfactorily arc in their places the buker brings in tho bags of raisins and cumuits. Each boy is given n portion and told to whistle. The wisdom of the baker’s scheme is that as long us thero is music floating out from the lips of tho urchin thero could exist no opportunity for raisins and currants to float in. The scheme works well, at least while the ingen ious baker is present. Tho concert suf fers disorganization if ho chances to leave the room. His sudden reappear ance ou such infrequent occasions causes efforts to resume thut are pa thetic and distressing. If any one fails to understand tho difficulties that the emergency presents lot him fill his mouth full of dried currants and try to whistle.—Brooklyn Eagle. The Cermtopkrys. The reptile house at the zoo is pro vided with an anteroom «sf u cooler temperature, which is chiefly devoted to the exhibition of frogs and toads of many kinds. Among the former none is more curious than the ceratophrys, which is perhaps the most truculent looking frog that has ever made its ap pearance. Frogs are, as a rule, re markable for large mouths, but this creature is decidedly the leader among frogs in this particular. It has also a bloated appearance, which recalls that of a toad, and its eyes are overshadowed by small horns, which give it a remarkably evil look. When at rest it usually buries itself in the soil, but when annoyed in any way it swells itself out, like the frog in Aisop. Ou these occasions it actu ally harks with rage, and will, we arc informed, inflict a tolerably severe bite on any one holding it. This am phibian comes from South America. In a state of nature it is cauuibal, or something very like it, siuce it will de vour other frog-s without any com punction.—London Standard. A Diitiiifulibed Pertioiiage.

A good story, in which two distin guished Louisianians and a no less distinguished Georgian figured some what conspicuously in a restaurant in Washington, D. C., was related to a newspaper man. Tho Louisianians were Hon. Thomas J. Semtnus and Mr. James Legendre, of this city, and the Georgian was Hon. Ben Hill, son of the late senator, and himself a prominent Georgia politician. The purty were en route to New York city to attend the centennial of the su- premc court of tho United States. On the arrival of tho train at Wash ington, D. C., the usual time for break fast was announced, and Messrs. Sein- mes and party, taking advantage of tlio opportunity thus offered, hastened to tlio nearest restaurant. Each or dered as his taste and' inclination prompted, and settled his own account. Messrs. Bemmes and Hill attacked the bill of fare to the extent of $1. and Mr. Legendre contented himself with a Bcventy-fivo cent meal. Breakfast ended, the three gentle men each handed the waiter a silver dollar—the exact amount of money due by Messrs. Sctnmes and Hill. Twenty-five cents were due Legendre, however, and this amount the waiter returned to him on his tray. Mr. Le gendre had enjoyed his breakfast, and being in good humor, replaced the quarter on the tray to "tip” the waiter. Tho waiter, placing the money in a gluss on his tray, passed it to Mr. Bemmes as a gentle reminder of what was expected of him. Mr. Scrnmes was, however, busily conversing with his friend, Mr. Hill, at the time, and in an absent minded sort of way quietly appropriated the tip money under tho impression, no doubt, that it was his change. The waiter was dumfounded, and Mr. Legendre, some what embarrassed, beckoned to him and dropped an additional quarter on the tray to soothe his feelings. This tho waiter passed to Mr. Hill with tho hope Hint he, at least, hud "caught on,” and that Mr.Semmes might finally bo brought to a knowledge of his mis take. But ho again ftiadc a serious error. Mr. Hill dealt with tho tip money just as Mr. Scrnmes had done in the first instauco and tho conversa tion proceeded in tlio ordinary way. Mr. Legendro was already out fifty cents in tho scheme, und was conse quently not further inclined in that direction, und before tho waiter could recover sufficiently to explain tho mistake tho three strangers left tho restaurant und wero on their way to New York.—Now Orleans Timos- Democmt. Trimming Olf Largo Kars. Modern surgery has not hesitated to cut a ucw nose out of the cheek, to loop up a drooping eyelid, or engraft tho skin of ono person upon another, hut it bus not until now given a man’s ears n setback. To Dr. William W. Keen, of Jefferson college, camo a brother physician to repair n job that had been badly done by nature's 'pren tice bund, so to speak. Tlio young man, for ho was only 19, was all ears; that is to say, his ears wero not only abnormally largo, but they (lapped in a painfully absurd manner. Tho surgeon proceeded to lay hare tho cartilago by removing the skin from tho posterior surface of the auri cle, and then excised a long, narrow pieco of tho cartilage—V shaped in cross sections, as if lie had run a min iature plow over the ridge on tho back of tho ear. Great care was taken not to cut clear through and thus causo n scar on tlio anterior surface. The edges of the eartilugo were then drawn together by catgut Btitches, iu addition to those in tho skin. This was done while the young man was etherized. Ho wont to sleep with long ears, aud ho awoke with short ears— very sore ones, and so intricately fas tened into position that for some nights he had to sleep fiat on his back. But whon tho wound had healed and the plasters wero removed he found him self possessed of symmetrical und fair sized care.—Philadelphia Letter. Wanted te Trice Tickets. There was u Hue ten feet long at the ticket window in the Hudson River railroad waiting room and tho police man on duty wn* busy reminding tho slower travelers to he brisk with their change, when a tall, thin, elderly wo man, with spectacles aud with a com plexion like a halibut, peered in at the ticket clerk and said: “What do you ask for a ticket to Pouehkoepsie?” "One dollar forty seven.” “Is that the lowest price?” "Only ono rate.” “Eliza Smith went up last month aud only paid one dollar and thirty cents." “There’s been no chauge, madam. Do you want a ticket?" "Would I save anything if I went to Peekskill, got off and bought an other ticket there!" “Costs more. Hurry, madam, there are others waiting." “Well, I only wanted to priee tick ets. I never kuowed Eliza Smith to tell the truth before and I just wanted to be sure that she hadn't broke no rec ord.”—New York Tribune. A N«v Way of Booming. Many unique devices have been re sorted to for booming embryo towns, but that employed by the real estate pushers of a tledgling ou Puget sound takes the lead. Two professional wrestlers wero matched and the result of the contest telegraphed throughout the coast. It was not stated whether the contest was held under a big fir tree or on the tide flats. —Exchange. The Defense of Jiulnii. Every man who is a general readei has doubtless noticed how often, whei ho has been reading of a certain sub ject, lie run across the same subject ir. an unexpected place, and an incident of this kind brought to my attention a very curious fact, which was a revela tion to me. I had just finished W. W. Story's poem, “The Letter of a Roman Lawyer in Jerusalem,” in which Story presents the legal aspect of the case of Judas Iscariot, and suggested that in betraying the Saviour lie was only at tempting to give Jesus Christ an op portunity to declare and prove hitnself God, and that he only accepted Vne thirty pieces of silver to give his act the appearance of a betrayal for a bribe. I laid aside the pamphlet containing the noem and picked up a hook, in which I found uu urtieleon the ancient coins of the east, aud one of the first things I reud was that the “piece" of silver of two thousand years ago was the name of a coin, and that its value was thirteen cents. It did not require much calculation theft for me to see that the price which was paid Judus by the Sanhedrim for betraying Christ was only $3.90. Do you know this unexpected infor mation made Story's poem have a strange effect upon me? Btory points to the fact that Judus carried the pub lic purse and could not have been ava ricious, or else lie would not have been trusted with this fund for tho poor, for which he rendered no account to any one, yet ho betrayed his master for $3.90. 1 had always thought that "thirty pieces of silver” meant some lurge amount, mid the statement aston ished me when I read it, hut referring to n work on numismatics I saw that the “piece of silver” of Jerusalem was about tlio same value as the “ore piece" of Denmark, which is just thir teen cents, so I suppose tho statement is true.—St. Ixmis Glohc-Democrat. A VoiKloo That Fulled, Iii 1881 a criminal trial occurred in Sumter county, S. C., in which the defendant was a colored man by the name of Johnson, who had killed an other named Davis, the former having in liis possession a charm which had been given to him by an aged negro named Orange Isaacs, n voudoo con jurer, who assured him that it would protect him from all danger ns a result of his crime. The object of the mur der was to enable the criminal to marry the widow of tho murdered man. Tho charm given him by the conjurer was composed of beeswax, foxes’ hair, a little sand from the shoe of the person who was to be killed und a drake's foot, the whole being sewed up in a small cotton bag, wliiclr ho was to wear over his heart next to his skin. This, it was claimed, would obtain for him tho love of the woman whom he desired. In addition to this he was to get a charmed bullet which lie was to put in his gun and fire at Davis. Tho negro thus protected shot his rival, buried him and proceeded to take possession of the widow, who, as it appeared, was no wise reluctant. Tho body was found and various cir cumstances traced tlio crime to John ston, who was put on trial. The jury comprised nine whites and three blacks, and a vast throng of negroes surrounded the court house while the trial was goingon. Curiously enough, two of tho men composing the jury were taken violently ill and others hud to he substituted for them. John ston wns found guilty, and was sen tenced to he hanged. Three hours after the sentence tho shoriff of the county, whoso business it was to hang him—a robust man in the prime of health—dropped dead. The murderer was, however, executed.—Columbia Register. Tile Hudson River Bridge. The preliminary steps have been ta ken, and it is reasonably certain that the monster bridge, with its six rail way tracks, roadways, foot paths, etc., will in due time connect New York with Jei-scy City, Hoboken, etc. In structural arrangement it will resem ble that lesser work of Mr. Lindentlial, tho Seventh street bridge across the Allegheny river, but in its mammoth proportions it will dwarf even the giant cantilever bridge recently completed across the River Forth, in Scotland. It will enable the traveler to depart from or arrive in tiie great city with out recocvse to the ferry boats, and, as a scenic feature of the day, will com plete. with the Bartholdi Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn bridge, an Iincouipai-a. It- trinity. -Pittsburg Bul letin. A Rcmarknbl* Ftco. Col. John Van Aroian is said to have been the only lawyer iu America who, while assuming the guilt of de fendant at the bar, dared to demand his acquittal on the ground of public policy. This was in the stock yards case, in which Rider was on trial. It seemed that the stock yards company lmd sent messengers to the peniten tiary at Joliet to obtain incriminating evidence, and had been afforded every facility for that purpose. In his argu ment to the jury Col. Van Arman de voted considerable time to a discussion of the growth and development of cor porations and monopolies, and the power they had acquired over offices and officers at the expense of the peo ple. He inquired if a crime had been committed against a private citizen whether such citizen would have been permitted the privileges exercised by the prosecution to secure a conviction as had been done in tho case under consideration. In concluding he de manded that though Rider might be guilty as charged in the indictment, the jury should find him innocent, as a lesson to corporations to respect tho rights of tho people.-—Chicago Jour nal. Sulphur for Fumigation. ’It appears that the prevailing meth od of disinfection by means of burning sulphur is considered by some of the leading bacteriologists as of less value than it has heretofore been considered, though Dr. Edson strenuously main tains the contrary. Dr. J. G. John son, on tho other hand, read a paper before the Kings county Medical soci ety in which he stated that he had proved the present system of fumiga tion as worthless for tho destruction of disease germs; that the fumes of burning sulphur do not penetrate woolens as disease germs do. He also stated that ho had propagated diph theria from the clippings of blankets after they had undergone a thorough process of fumigation by burning sul pliur. Dr. Prudden, of the New' York city hoard of health, appears to have come to the same conclusion, aud in both New York and Brooklyn currents of steam are to be recommended for disinfecting purposes instead of burn ing sulphur.—Medical Record. Two 04(1 Coincidence*. Capt. A. E. Anderson of the Hudson river steamer Mary Powell tells of two odd coincidences which lie “ran up against" ono day. His steamer was ly ing at tho foot of Vestry street, Pough keepsie, when a man hoarded her and said to tlio captain: "I have lost my trunk. I don’t know whether it was taken off this bout or not.” "What is your name?" u.skcd Capt. Anderson quite naturally. “A. E. Anderson," was the reply. "My initials and sur name exactly," returned the captain. "My full name is Ambrose Eltinge Anderson." said the stranger,' almost dumfounded to find the captain's name the same, letter for letter. The same afternoon Capt. Anderson was treated to another surprise. An elderly lady boarded tlio Mary Powell at Newburg, remarking to the captain as sho handed in her ticket that her name was Mary Powell, and that she lived in Philadelphia. This was too much for Anderson, who related to the lady tho coincidence of the morning, whereupon the two spent a full hour discussing coincidences, strange and otherwise.—St. Louis Republic.

Nearly thirty years ago a young Englishman named Robert Brown left his native town, Surrey, aud came to America. For several years ho cor responded with his sister at home, then the letters grew infrequent und finally ceased. When last heard from ho wus iu Boston. Tne sister wrote, only to have her letters returned through the dead letter office marked “Not found." Finally, us a last re sort, she addressed a letter to “Presi dent Harrison, Washington, D. C., U. S. A.,’’ relating those facts and ini ploring his aid iu finding her brother. This letter found its uddrefs. Instead of going to tho waste basket it was for warded to Mayor Hart, of Boston, with a request that he look Mr. Brown up. In u short time response came that Robert Brown was dead, and had left two sons, both prosperous young business men in Boston, and the news was sent to their aunt in Surrey.— Washington Post.

Instance of iui Earlier Condition. The Opistho eomus, a bird of the Island of Marajo, in the Amazon, is four footed when young. Its wing has two fingers, each with a claw, which drops off after a time, and these are^used in scrambling about. As the wings of birds are supposed to have been evolved from prehensile hands, this is, as Mr. F. E. Beddard states, “a curious instance of a partial retention of an earlier condition.”—New Orleans Picayune. George Schweich, of the firm of Ringquist & Schweich. Richmond, Mo., owns the table upon which the book of Mormon was written. David Wliitmer, the grandfather of Mr. Schweich, formerly owner of the ta ble, was one of the three witnesses to the divine authenticity of the book above named. For a long time the stealings of the operatives in the diamond mines of South Africa were, it is estimated, one- half of the production.
