A Cumous Lzttis asd What it Led To.???
One day the director! of the Bank of Eng
land were much perplexed and not a little
amused when the secretary read to them, at
their uinal sitting, the following iU-speltand
somewhat curious letter.
Two gentlemin of Bank England: Yoo
think yow is all safe hand your bank his aeafe,

body.???Jon Smiff.
The letter haring been duly .read, was as
might be expected, the topic of conversation
and suggestion for some little time. Some of
the directors thought it was a hoax. Others
thought that under the apparently ignorant
ly written letter a deeper mystery was hid
den; but all agreed that the safest way was to
put the letter with proper instructions into
the hands of the detectives. The detectives
looked grave. There was a plot at work they
saw; and with their usual penetration they
at once penetrated the deepest depths of the
inquiry.
There is a very large room underground,
where the hnge wealth of the bank is deposit
ed???millions and millions of English sover
eigns, bars of gold and hundred weights of
silver, with myriads of notes. The detec
tives, of course, knew that this room must be
the place which the writer of the letter had
designated as ???the great squar room." It is
full of treasure. Toe floor is of solid stone
pavement, and its walls, roof and door are of
wrought iron and steel.
All the night long detectives were secreted
in the room, but they saw nothing and heard
nothing, with the exception that some said
they heard, about 1 or 2 o???clock, a strange
noise they could not account for. The next
night was the same, and the next and the
next; and when the board day of the bank
came round the whole of the directors would
have treated the affair as an idle attempt
frighten them had not their attention been
more strongly called to the subject by the fol
lowing incident:
A heavy chest had been forwarded address
ed to the ''Directors of the Bank of England."
The chest was of course opened before them
at once???such a thing being very unusual???
and found to contain a large packet of most
valuable papers and securities which had
been safely deposited in the vault. With
them was the following letter:
To the Directors ol the Bank ot England:
Gentlemen???My husband, who is an hones
man, wrote to you last week and told you
that he bad found a way???which he believes
is only known to himself???of getting into
your strong room, and offered if you would
meet him there at night to explain the whole
matter. He bad never taken anything from
that room except the inclosed box. Yon set
detectives upon him and he took the box to
show that he could go there, whoever might
watch, if he choose. He gives you another
chance. Let a few gentlemen be in the room
alone, guard the door and make everything
secure, and my husband will meet you there
at midnight. Yours respectfully,
Ellin Smith.
This letter was more mysterious than the
last. The only thing that was evident was
that the writer, ???Ellen Smith,??? was a better
scholar than her husband, who styled himself
???John Smlff." The detectives were shown
the letter and acted accordingly. Of course
large square stone, which he found could be
easily raised. He listened for some time,
and finding all was silent, lifted up the stone
without much difficulty, and found, after
some little investigation by the light ot his
lantern, that be was in the strong room of a
bank. These men. like miners, can readily
determine the exact spot of ground nnder
which they are, and he soon had a clew to the
whole mystery. He told bis wife, who wss a
woman of superior education to bis own, of
tbs whole affair, and he then wrote, as we
have seen, to the directors.
Down in the sewer, he was able to bear all
their movements as well as it above ground,
and thus was not only able to know their
plans, but to frustrate them, and of conrse
could watch his time to remove the small bat
valuable box, to leave the letters on the table,
and to appear so mysteriously.
No one had thought of looking to the stone
pavement, which wss supposed to be eolid
and immovable, as it was knewn that there
were no vaults below, although the iron walla
and doors bad been carefully tested. Tbe
mystery was now cleared up and the man
well rewarded.???English Magazine.
A Lion Hunt.???In July, a few years sgo,
two fine lions made their appearance in a
jungle, some twenty miles distant, from the
cantonment of Itajcote, in the East Indies,
where Captain Woodhouse and his two
friends, Lieutenants Delamain and Lang,
were stationed. An elephant was dispatched
to the place on the evening on which the
Information arrived, and on the morrow, at
the break of day, the three gentlemen set off
on horseback, full of glee and elated with the
hope of a speedy engagement.
in arriving at the edge of tbe jangle peo-
neighborlng
hey rnigh
ronte of the lions, in cue they left the cover.
After besting about in the jungle for some
time, the hunters started the two lordly
strangers. The officers fired immediately,
and one of tbe lions fell to rise no more. His
compauion broke cover and took oil' across
the country. The officers now pursued him
od horseback ns fast as the nature of the
ground would allow, until they learned from
the men who were stationed in the trees and
who held up flags by way of signal, that the
lion hsd gone back into tbe thicket.
Upon this the three officers returned to tho
edge of the jungle, and, having dismounted
from their horses, they got upon tbeelephant
???Captain Woodhoiue placing himself in the
hindmost seat. They now proceeded toward
the heart of tbe jungle, in the expectation of
raising tho royal fugitive a second time. They
fonnd him standing under a large bash, with
his face directly toward them. The lion al
lowed them to approach within range of his
able
they were posted in the room, In the morn
ing they told a strange story. They said that
they saw a light at about 12 o???clock. It seems
ed to come from a dark lantern, bnt directly
they ran to tbe spot from whence the light
proceeded it went ont, and the strictest search
had discovered nothing.
The bank officials became alarmed. The;
however agreed to do what perhaps wool
have been wiser if done at first???viz., to de
pate a few of their number to visit tho vault
alone. So it wu arranged that three gentle
men should remain in the strong room all
night and that no one else should be with
them. Every suitable precaution was taken
when night came. The sentinel paced np
and down outside; the detoctives were not
far off; and, after the moat rigorous search
had been Instituted, the gentlemen were lock
ed in.
At last one of them, who paced the flood
rather Impatiently, beginning to think that
perhaps, after all, it was only a clever trick,
cried out:
???You ghost, you secret visitor, you mid
night thief, come out! There is no one here
but two gentlemen and myeelf. _ If you are
jin Jcstlthan in earnest that
he was ajra
nisasionuumeni, i
in reply, he heard a
yon have kept your t
Fat out your light, f
afraid, I glvo you my wdrd ot honor as
gentleman that the police are not here. Come
out, I say I???
It was mo.??? . ??? , ...
Major 0., for he was ^military man, ahoated
ont the absurd speech, for, as we have said,
he had begun to snspect that, after all, Borne
practical joke was being adroitly carried on,
as had more than once before been perpe
trated, and he didnotmnchlikebeingvlctim-
ized himself.
Hisastoniahment, however, was great when,
y, he heard a strange voloe saying: ???If
??? r word twill keep mine.
, for I???ve one, and then I???ll
come."
The major and his lellow-directori did not
like potting out the light, but they were not
coward*, and alter aome demur, it was done.
Where the voice came from was, however, a
mystery, for there were no hiding places in
the room, every side being of thick, many-
plated iron and steel; the ceiling was also of
the same material.
When the light wu ont they waited in si
lence, while the msjor grasped firmly in ope
hand a revolver and in the other held the
iautern and a few matches. For a little while
a low, grating sound wu heard, and then a
voice, evidently that of some one in the
room, said: ???Are yon three alone, snre?"
The msjor, who cared for nothing in bodily
form, .track a match, and instantly a crash
wu beard, and a low, smothered laugh.
When the match wu lighted nothing coaid
be delected???no one wes there.
Again the major called upon the mysteri
ous somebody to come forth, and again a
voice wu heard saying: ???How can I trust
you now????
Tbe major wu angry and bis companions
alarmed, and after trying in vain to trace the
point whence the voice proceeded, he ex
claimed: ???Well, we???ll put out the light
again; only come quickly and pat an end to
this bother.??? So uying he put out the light
again
sound wu beard, then the falling of some
heavy body, and the next instant a man wu
visible standing in the middle of tbe vanlt
with a dark lantern in bis hand. o f course
he came from somewhere, but the puzzle wu
???how? A ghost could not have entered
more mysteriously.
The man soon spoke for himself; and the
directors, who were etlll at a loss to explain
his presence there, listened in astonishment,
it appeared that be wu a poor man and ob
tained a precarious living in a strange way.
When the tide wu low it is tbe custom of a
certain class of men, unknown to refined so
ciety, to enter the sewers to search for any
article of value which may have been washed
down into them. It is a very dangerous task
and, of course,revolting in the extreme, bnt
they not infrequently find very precious
things bidden in the filth. This man wu one
of those strange adventurers.
One night he had dieoovered an opening
leading to some place above. There wu a
spring and then made a sudden dart at the
elephant, clnng on his trank with a tremen
dous roar and wounding him just above the
eye. While he was in the act of doing this
the two lieutenants fired at him, bnt without
success.
The elephant now shook him off; but the
fierce and sudden attack on the part of the
lion seemed to have thrown him into tho
greatest consternation. This wu the first
time he had ever come in contact with so
formidable an animal, and much exertion
wu used before hia riders succeeded in urg
ing him on again in quest of the lion. At lut
he became somewhat more tractable; but. u
he wu advancing through the jangle, all of
a sadden the lion, which had lain concealed
in the high grass,made at him with redoubled
fury.
The officers now lost all hopes of keeping
their elephant in order. He turned ronnd
abruptly and wu golugaway quite ungovern
able, when the lion again sprang at him,
seised hia hind parts with his teeth and hung
on them until the affrighted animal man
aged io shake him off by Inceuant kicking. I
The lion retreated farther into the thicket.
Captain Woodhouse, in the meantime, firing
a random shot at him, which proved of no
avail, os the jolting of the elephant and the
uproar of the moment, prevented him from
inking a steady aim. No exertions on the
S ort of the officers coaid now force the tarri
ed elephant to face his fierce foe, and they
found themselves reduced to tbe necessity of
dismounting.
Determined, however, to come to still closer
quarters with the formidable king of quadru
peds, Captain Woodhonse took the desperate
resolution to proceed on foot in quest of him,
and, after searching about for some time, he
saw the lion indistinctly through the boshes,
and discharged his rifle at him; but be wu
>retty well conviucod that he bad not hit
llm, for he uw the lion retire, with tbe ut
most composure, into the thicker parts of the
brake.
Tbe two lieutenants, who had remained at
tbeontsldeof tha jungle, Joined their com
panion on hearing tbe report of bis gnn.
The weather wu intolerably sultry. After
ilnly spending a considerable time In creep
ing through the grass and boshes, with the
hope of discovering the place of tbe lion???s re
treat, theyconcloded that he had passed quite
through the jungle, and gone off In an oppo
site direction. Iteiolved notto let thelrgarae
escape, tbe lieutenants returned to the eie-
>hsnt, and immediately proceeded round the
angle, expecting to diioover the route which
they conjectured i
f the lion had taken.
Captain Woodhouse, however, remained In
the thicket, and, u he could discern the print
of the animal???s feet on the ground, he boldly
resolved to followup the track at all hazards.
The Indian game finder, who continued with
his commander, at lut espied tho lion in the
cover, and pointed him ont to the captain,
who fired, bnt unfortunately misaedhis mark.
There wu now no alternativa left bnt to re
treat and load his rifle. Having retired to a
distance, he wu joined by Lieutenant Dela
main, who had dismounted from his ele
phant on hearing the report of the gun. This
unexpected meeting-increased the captain???s
hopes of ultimate success. He lost no time in
ilnting out to the lleutenantthe piece where
he would probably find the lion, and said ha
would be up with him in a moment or two.
Lieutenant Delamain, on going eight or ten
paces down a sheep track, got a sight of the
ton, and instantly discharged his rifle at
him. This irritated tha mighty lord of the
woods, and be rushed toward him, breaking
through the bushes (to use tbe captain's own
words), ???I most magnificent style."
Captain Woodhouse now found himself
placed in an awkward situation. He wu
aware thai if be retraced his steps, in order to
pat himself in atbettcr position for attack, he
would just get to the point from which the
lieutenant had fired, and to which tha lion
wu making. He Instantly resolved to stand
still, in tbe hope that tbe lion would pass by,
at a distance of four feet or so, without preceiv-
ing him,as th eiutsrveniug covcrjwu thick and
strong. In this, however, he wu most un
fortunately deceived, for the enraged lion
uw him in passing, and flew at him with
a dreadful rear. In an instant, u though it
bad been done by a stroke of lightning, the
rifle wu broken and thrown out of the cap
tain's hand, bis left arm at the ume moment
being eelzed by the claws, and hia right by
the teeth of his desperate antagonist.
While these two brave and sturdy com
batants, "whose courage none conld stain,???
where yet standing in moral conflict, Lieu
tenant Delamain ran up. and discharged his
piece fall at the lion. This caused the lion
and the captain to come to the ground to
gether, while Lieutenant Delamain hastaned
out of the jungle to reload his gun. The lion
now began to crash the captain's arm; bnt u
the brave fellow, notwithstanding the pein
which this horrid process caused, had the
cool, determined resolution to lie still, the
lordly uvage let the um drop out of hia
mouth, and quietly placed bimulf in a
crouching poeltion, with both hia pawa upon
the thigh ot hia fallen foe.
While things were in this untoward situ-
ation thecapiain unthinkingly raised hia band
to support hia head, which had got placed ill
at ease in the fall. No sooner, however, had
ha moved it than the lion seized the lacerated
arm a second time, crashed it u before, and
fractured the bone etlll higher up. Thia ad-
ditioBtl memento mori from the lion wu not
lost upon Captain Woodhouae; It Immediately
pat him In mind that be had committed an
act of imprudence in alining. The motion*
leas state in which fie persevered after this
broad hint showed that he had learned to
profit by this painful k*on.
He now lay bleedingan.ddisaDieaunuerine
foot of a mighty and irrltate'd.enemy. Death
was close upon him, armed with every terror
calculated to appal the heart of a prostrate
and defenseless man. Just as this world with
all its flitting honors, was on the point of
vanishing forewer, he heard two faint reports
of a gun, which he thought sounded from a
distance; but he was totally at a loss to ac
count for them. He learned after the affair
was over that tbe reports were caused by hia
friend.at the outside of tbe jungle, who had
flashed off some powder, in order to be quite
sure that the nipples of his rifle were clean.
The two lieutenants were now hasting to
his assistance, and he heard the welcome
sound of feet approaching; but, unfortunate
ly, they were in the wrong direction, as the
Jion was betwixt them and him. Aware that,
if his friends fired, the balls would hit him,
after they had passed through the lion abody.
Captain Woodhouse quietly pronounced,in a
low and subdued tone, ???To the other side,*'
Hearing the voice, tbev looked in the direc
tion whence it proceeded, and to their horror
saw their brave comrade in bis utmost need.
Having made a circuit, they cautiously came
upon the other side, and Lieutenant Dela
main, whose coolness in encounters with
wild beasts had always been conspicuous, from
a distance of about a down yards fired at the
lion over the person of the prostrate warrior.
Tbe lion merely quivered; his head dropped
upon the ground, and in an instant he lay
dead on his side, close to his intended vio
tim.
Chinese Politics ???The Chinese have a
peculiar theory that the proper duration of a
dynasty should not exceed one hundred
years???a term which the reigning family has
already greatly overstepped. Besides this
slngnlarsuperatition. the Chinese have an
other deeply rooted idea that the line of de
scent has not been preserved Intact by the
reigning dynasty. A court intrigue, sup
posed to have oconrred during the reign of
Yang Chlng, the successor of Kang HI, Is
said to have occasioned the rumor, which
nowadays is widely credited. And so both
supersitlon and national antipathy have part
in the prevailing strong feeling against the
Tit Tsing dynasty, so that now it is not n lit
tle difficult to defloe the real position of the
people with regard to theirpreaentsovereign.
China is overran with secret organizations
whose real aim is the abolition of tbe Tartars
and installation of a Chinese monarch, ver
sus acmerus. The famous White Lily sect
of the northern and central provinces,as well
as tbe Triad society of the southern states,
have one aid the same object in view. The
raison d'etre of Chinese secret organizations
was origlnnlly not so much of a political as
of a tlieosophtc or Masonic character. Men
formed leagues together for the purpose of
practiciog certain forms and modes of wor
ship, ns well as upholding certain doctrines
which were at variance with the recognized
creeds of China. At presont these early
tenota have beon lost sight of, and Chinese
secret societies hold only to tho old formulas
of imation and craft in order to conceal their
true political character. They boast num
bers of members throughout the length and
breadth of the empire, and are a constant
source of anxiety and worrlment to the Pe
king authorities. The T???a-plng rebellion it
self, as well as many othera of less impor
tance, was the outcome ??f the White Lily
sect; the riots at Canton and the wide spread
sedition along tha Yang-tse. were due to the
schemes of the Triardists. No wonder, then,
that 30 000 troops are constantly employed
about the capital, or that the viceroy of Can
ton has to maintain bis thousands of Tartar
soldiers.???Yokahoms Gazette.
A Curious Biar 8tory.???George Swift, s
ranchman in the Grand valley, tells a story
which shows how unenviable is the life of the
stotk raiser in that wilderness. A abort time
ago Mr. Swift let his three year old daughter
ride upon his horse, and alter she had ridden
about forty rods from home he lifted her oil
the animal and told her to ran home. On re
turning abont an hour later be found that the
little one had not reached home, and, going
to the place where he had last seen her, ho
found bear (racks in the sand. A posse wss
formed, and all night was spent in searching
for tbe lost child.
In tbe morning, os tbe searchers were pass
ing a swamp spot where the undergrowth was
thick, they heard her voice. They called to
tbe little girl to come out of the bashes, bat
she replied that tbe bear would not let her.
The men then crept through the hashes, and
when near the spot heard a splash In the
water, which the child said was the bear,
They found her standing upon a log, extend
ing half way across the swamp, and itseemed
ns though the bear hsd undertaken to cross
the swamp on the log, being pursued, left the
child, end got away aa rapidly as possible.
She had received some scratches about the
face, arms and logs, and her clothes were al
most tom from her body, but the bear had
not bitten her to hurt her, only the marks of
his teeth being found upon her back, where
