marked my fellow traveller, "and here you can
get as good a lunch as anywhere in Delaware"
We walked on the platform together and re-
marked a forcble odor, pungent and indeed over
powering.

confessed that recognized it as perfume qfri-
caine, but didn t admire the odor much.
Then my guide bade me remark large white
dog that was promenading up and down the
platform giving utterance to the most singular
cries. Says he, " that dog is an institution in
Middletown. They don't much mind the peach
crop failing, but the death of that dog would
hurt them powerful. That dog appeared here
one day unexpected. The old railroad couduc-
tor had died that morning of eating peaches, and
then the dog came Tis thought there is some
connection between them. The dog sort OF
murmurs and looks for somebody, but that is
only some passenger that has been fearfully
overcharged. It's thought the dog wants 10
pay him back"
'But," said " do you really mean that that
big, whining dog is the ghost of dishonest
conductor?n u
"Yes,n said my kind informant, That's
what they say. He never eats nothing lie
walks night and day groaniug and murmurng
as you see. His face looks like II conductors and
for my part | don't see any objection to the
story"

away the WEAKNESS of travel and | accumulated
stores of knowledge useful to all.

Lablache's debut Sssa.s marked by
an adventure which might have
ended fatally, and indeed his saliva
ton SO impressed the greatest Of
basso singers as being absolutely su-
pernatural and miraculous, that he
made public offerings to q shrine Of
q popular Madonna, which are still
shown in Naples. His first appear
ance on any stage occurred just after
the congress Of Leybach, and the
king Of Naples had butthen returned
to his dominions after an absence Of
some years. lla
magnificent fetes were organized
in his honor, and among others a
pageant was arranged at the st. Car
10 Theater, in which young Lablaehe
was to appearas Jupiter, part for
which he was well fitted, both on ac-
count Of his fine presence and rich
and powerful basso voice. He was
to descend from Olympus on q bank
of clouds supporting, the throne'on
which he was seated, holding an
ivory scepter in his hand and wear
ing a golden diadem in his splendid
and flowing black hair, Thunder
announced his coming, and flashes
of lightning preceded him.
But suddenly q frightful screaming
was heard, the king rose in horror,
the queen tainted, ladies cried out
in terror, and men rushed to the
stage to avert, if possible, the APP
palling accident which menaced the
new singer. The clouds had not de-
scended ten feet ere the machinery
gave way and Jupiter fell through.
Fortunately, however, a strong iron
wire or rope caught his cloak and
his weight made it uncoil, so that it
let him down by degrees uninjured
to the ground. But the most awful
spectacle greeted him oil the while
he was descending. One Of tho
workmea had also fallen through
when the accident took place, and he
fell upon strong iron spike which
supported the scenery, and which
pierced him straigh through the body.
Now it 50 happened that the wire
which saved Lablache in some way
or other got entangled in the feet Of
this poor wretch, SO that every move
ment made by Lablache told upon
the unhappy creature ON the spike,
and he was driven down right under
him, bowling and screaming in the
most appalling manner, while his
blood squirted all over the great
basso. Whom the two did reach
land, Lablache's hair IA fact) was
perfectly white, and tie workman
dead, They had taken between ten
and iiften minutes to get down; the
audience, meanwhile, looked on in q
state Of terror easier imagined than
described, As
The king of Naples, initiating Sex
tus v on a,similar occasion, had the
courage at very early period Of the
adventure to cry out; "If I hear
any one scream or shout again I'll
mark that person and have him
shot" This order silenced the peo-
pie, and Of course prevented the
singer from losing his presence of
mind. Once safe, Lablache knelt

Nolan was interested without trial,

his opportunity when the Justice was

ly what they were, bnt before he was
able to reply the clerk answered fol
him that they were an order TO show

dered the bearer to be committed for
