Jack had turned upon her pale, re-

willful, were quivering as they never

A Fight Under Water.

A curious case Of assault and battery
was lately brought before the police
tribunal at Marseilles. 1t appears that
q diver, engaged in investigating the
wreck Of vessel sunk in the port OF
that city, discovered an object OF some
value, which he put aside in corner
of rock for future disposition: re.
turning for the last time beneath tne
surface, he went to secure his prize, pu'
at that moment two other divers az
tackled him and attempted to wrest !
from him. A lively fight ensued, wnica

commenced, fifty or sixty feet below

WASHED ASHORE.

Bavside," as its owner somewhat
ambitiously christened the incongruous
aggregation of discomforts and wooden
balconies at the head of the little cove,
was one Of those numberless saltwater
summer refugees with which the shore
of Long Island Sound is studded.
1t was a quiet sort of place, and the
neighborhood was good but the most
remarkable feature of Bayside that sum.
mer was the presence of Nellie Martin.
Of course, there were other girls enough,
that came and went; but the steady
possession, week after week, Of even

and his managing wife frankly admitted
te each other that they could have at.

good lady; "those tall, thin people are

"But l rather like the old gentle.
man." responded her spouse. He's
q good fisherman, and he brings home
bis fish but don't believe he's rich"
"If they amt pretty well of" said his
wife, they've no business to have
spoiled Nellie to that degree"
And beyond all doubt, the willful
beauty had been spoiled "to that de-
gree" so that she frankly accepted all
male attention and devotien as no
more than her due, without the least
apparent idea that it could rightfully
demand repayment in more serious coin
than her own smiling approval.
TO do her justice, however, her fault
extended to her dealings with even the
children; and she seemed as happy
among the veriest babies that came to
up admirers.
Even when her pale.faced mother
chided Nellie on her behavior, she
could obtain no more than kiss oil
peace, and,
Nonsense, mamma; I'm sure il
won't hurt either Of them"
And Mrs. Martin shook her head Low
ingly, and held her peace, for when

Goldsmith Maid and Lucy.

The Boston Herald says that Gold
smith Maid made but one break in her
fast heat of 2:l62. "Mr. Hickok, the
driver of Lucy, offered to trot his mare
against any horse in the world, towagon,
for $1,000 or $4,000, and his defiance
was announced from the judges stand"
1t seems strange that this offer was not
accepted by Goldsmith Maid, as Lucy
has never beaten her heat during the
past year, and Lucy has lately been
beaten by Jay Gould, formerly Judge
Bingham, in 2:24i, at Philadelphia
Turf, Field and Farm.

The income tax was introduced in
England as a temporary measure, by
Sir Robert Peel, about thirty years ago.
He estimated that, at the rate OF a
penny to the pound sterling, it would
yield $3,5OO,O0O. Last year penny in
the pound yielded $500, 900, showing
that the wealth of the country must
have more than doubled since the tax

at an early hour the streets were

In order that all attendant might
