A dozen years have elapsed since the
events recorded in the last chapter.
Jean Guyot is dead His son is now a
young man of twenty three, and IS now
standing by the very bed in the little
chamber where we first made his ac-

duty to Annette.
In few days all was over, and the
young man was alone In the world; and
yet why should he remain so? He had
a comfortable house to live in; and his
prospects were better than those of his
class, for he was both industrious and
economical. In fact, he was already
known as penurlous; and people said
he was constantly growing like his
uncle, an old miser who had lived Ill
a garnet for fifty years, and died very
rich, before JacG;tes was born.
He'll be aperfect old curmudgeon.
said NJ. Pardee to his wife, as Annette
was entering the house i'll company with
a handsome young man. jacques had
just left, and was still visible, walking
away from the house.
What contrast - said Madame
Pardee. "And [ think Victor is mucl

the room, " / have almost made up my

Not long after, jacques received tn,

right; he Is Il miser, and never speaks
to any one, if he can avoid it.
''Do you know him grandma" said
one of the young Ladies.

How NaSuucz is ShackIed,

The California authorities stand III
wholesome dread of Nasquez, prisoner
as he is, and give him credit for great
skill III making escapes. The hand
cuffs devised blythe Sheriff of Monterey
county for use on him are thus de
scrlbed They consist, first, OF a
round iron bar about an inch i'll diane
ter, and two and half feet long. At
the upper end Of this bar - attached Il
small, stout ring. which passes through
a hole drilled in another iron bar. tif-
teen inches long and not quite as thick
as the first. The second bar is hori-
zontal, running at right angles with
the first. At either end of the horizon
tai bar are fastened two small heavy
rings. and Il wrist shacklo Of fine steel
The lock on these shackleS is of a very
peculiar and intricate construction.
When the prisoner wrists are confined
in them 1t Will be utterly impossible for
him to get his hands near enough to-
gether TO do any mischief. SO that the
possession of file or any other me
chanical tool would not enable HIM to
free himself. At the lower end Of the
perpendicular bar is another heavy
ring, to which IS attached on either
side a stout chain about five inches
long. Pendent to these chains are two
ankle shacklcs Of similar construction
to those for the wrist. The prisoner
will thus be able to use his legs IN
walking, but only to very limited cx-
tent. BY no possibility can he get his
hands and feet together.

sailing through Mississippi Sound,
since the recent flood, encountered a
remarkable scene. For miles were
seen logs. driftwood, and patches of
turf and soil floating out into the gulf,
filled with live animals, who chung to
their frail barques with the tenacity of
shlpWrecked mariners. Among the
ANIMALS were seen rats, raccOons, opos-
sums, rabbits, alligators, and mocca8in
snakes i'll uncounted numbers, all
brought down from the swamps and
marshes, perhaps from fifty to one hun
dred miles inland. The novel exhibi.
ton had It scientific interest, as it sug-
geStcd the manner in which, during
past geological periods, animals were
transported from regions far inland to
the mouth OF estuaries, and their bones
being entOmbed i'll the silt and soft
mud, furnished the organic remains
which are preserved for ages in the
hardened strata. IT was, doubtless, by
similar means that the fossils now
found i'll the solid limestones were en-
guiphed and preserved; and also that
animal life has been distributed over
portions of the globe.
