couldn't his factory have been saved ?"
s'Perhaps it might responded the
mother; 'sfor it was believed at the
time that the fire would have been ex-
tingrlised if there had been sufficient
supply of water. There had been a Sc
we're drought that summer and autumn !;
and the rich were afraid to allow the
firemen to use their reservoirs.
At that time Jean Guyot entered ;
and, as he conversed with his wife on
household matters, jacques reclined on
lounge by the open window, absorbed
in thought.
jacques recovery was slow and his
suffering made a deep and lasting i'm
preston on his mind. Finally they
were compelled to use water SO muddy
and brackish that even the swine would
hardly accept it, save in the last ex'
tremity. The boys moral power came
to his aid, after the conversation above

conquer by patience what appeared te
have no other immediate remedy.

A California Story.

In 1850 young man named Osborn,
who had arrived at the mines from the
East. penniless and friendless, was
taken sick. He told his condition to a
fellow-adventurer named Hitchcock,
who was a little better off, and the latter
promised to g see him through The
promise was kept, and when, after two
months of illness, Osborn arose from
his bed, his friend handed him $3.50 to
bear his expenses and to procure tools,
saying to him, eff you ever get able
you can pay me back, but do not worry
yourself and lnjure your health in try
ing to make the money too quick. .
One year and half from that time Os-
born sent Hitchcock $3.50, with the
following note I'll pay interest on
friendship" His labors proved remu-
nerative, and by 1873 he was worth
$3.50, 200. While in San Francisco he
met and recognized his old friend.
When they parted, after several days
companionship, Osborn gave Hitchcock
sealed package, with the injunction
that it was not to be opened until ne
was on the cars. There Hitchcock
found that it contained deed for one
sixth of rich silver mine, with small
note containing the words 9 Interest
on friendship" Hitchcock has sold
his interest for $4,000.

A Floating Menagerie.

It is stated that party Of army Off
GERS, who have been engaged in mount
ing guns and otherwise putting the
gulf forts in serviceable condition, while
sailing through Mississippi Sound,
since the recent food, 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
shipwrecked mariners Among the
animals were seen rats, raccoons, opos-
sums, rabbits, alligators, and moccasin
snakes in uncounted numbers, all
brought down from the swamps and
marshes, perhaps from fifty to one hun
dred miles inland. The novel exhibi
ton had scientific interest, as it sug-
gested 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 in the silt AMI soft
mud, furnished the organic reD4..ins
which are preserved for ages in the
hardened strata. 1t was, doubtless, By
similar means that the fossils now
found in the solid limestones were en-
gulphed and preserved; and also that
animal life has been distributed over
portions of the globe.

An Important Invention.

One of the most important recent IN
ventions is that of Mr.. Thomas Crit
fifth, of Liverpool, Eng. 1t consists OF
a waterproof paint which forms firm
coating on the surface of the article to
which it is applied. By this means
the surface is rendered absolutely
waterproof, however porous it may be.
The material is consequently intended
not only for decorative purposes, but to
be applied as a waterproof coating to
the walls or foundations Of dwelling
houses or structures Of brick, plastered
wood, or iron 1t is also well adapted
for covering the bottoms Of vessels, or
submerged structures Of any descrip-
ton. Various trials have at different
times been made Of it. At Portobello
it was tried on some iron plates, and
these were immersed for three months
in sea water. At the expiration OF that
time the plates were taken up and ex-
amined, when it was found that they
looked fresh and clean as ever, and
quite free from seaweed and on some
of the enamel being scraped OFT, the
metal showed no signs Of rust, although
plates treated in the same way, only
other kinds of paint being used, were
both foul and greatly oxidized. Some
of this paint was applied to steamers
trading to Africa from Liverpool, and
these showed no signs of corrosion OF
their return. It's smooth surface gives
it sanitary value for the reason that
it defies the attacks Of the white ants.
The huts used for the soldiers III the
Ashantee expedition were coated with
it. Walls covered with it are smooth
and polished, and can therefore be
washed with soap and water or dlsln'
fecting fluids. This enamel is avail
able for painting the walls Of hospitals,
fever wards, etc., as the porosity Of the
plaster is entirely stopped, thus pre-
venting Infection from being absorbed
1t can be made of any color. Variou:
processes for preserving ships bottoms
from fouling have been brought befor,
the public; and patents on the subjec
are numerous. The earliest Of thes
was taken out in 1896; No. 81, b.
Charles Ardesolf, ''for new invented
composition which Will preserve ship
from the worms, insomuch that an.
ship may, by virtue Of the same, con
tinue at sea for four OF five years with
out receiving any damage from tn
worms" Since then various method
have been employed with greater O
less success. The chief merit claime'
by Mr.. Griffith, is that of simplicity o
application, as it is simply spread o.

CHAPTER IT.

a dozen Years nave 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-
quaintance. Madam Guyot is lying on
the couch, and the old doctor is at
jacques side.
"Dear Jacques, I am going,' she
murmured almost inaudibly, " and yet
I would gladly have seen you and An
nette married before my death but
Heavens will be done" The son did
not reply. He knelt by the bedside.
and held his mothers hand in his.
cit was your fathers wish, " she con
tinued. "You were betrothed In early
childhood. Her parents died soon
after; and she went to live with her
uncle, who has never favored your
union" Jacques was still silent; and
she proceeded. "Since your illness.
the year of the last great drought, YOU
are much changed in character. You
have grown melancholy, and l have
tried in vain to bring back your natur,
ally cheerful temper. Remember my
last request Jacques; remember youl
duty to Annette"
In few days all was over, and the
Young man was alone in the world ano
yet why should he remain so? He hao
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 penurious; and people sale
he was constantly growing like hi:

garnet for fifty years, and died very
rich, before Jacques was born.
"He'n he aperfect old curmudgeon.

was entering the house in company with
a handsome young man. jacques hat

away from the house.

CHAPTER III.

"Here comes old dry-bones y cried
ragged boy to his mates, as they were
at play by the roadside. 1t was good
MANY wears after Annette's marriage.
"Give it to him!" shouted another,
as he picked up handful of mud, and,
after rolling it into ball, threw 1t at
an old man who was passing by. At
this the boys all began to follow the ex-
ample of their leader. Some threw
sticks some sand and dirt; and one or
two sent stones whizzing through the
air.
"He's an old miser!'' exclaimed one
of the lads. mamma says he 49,.
s.He is too mean and stingy to live,
said one boy, better dressed than the
others. "My grandmother says he
starved his mother fifty years ago, and
has hated everybody ever since.
A crowd of urehins had now gathered
around the old man, and some OF them
had picked up long sticks, with when

off his hat: and, as the man stopped to
pick it up, the well-dressed boy struck
his cane, and knocked it into the gutter,
Several dogs were in the crowd ana
the boys set them on the old man. AT
this iuncture carriage came up ; and
in it there were Two young ladies man

There was a knock at the front door.
Madame Guyot left the chamber, and
found the Doctor waiting to be admitted.
Afteg conversing for few moments
about the invalid, she asked, g Is there
NO means of alternating his intense sui

'But the water is exhausted, and the

said ''They are compelled to do so.

"No doubt of it." said the other,

revenue collector for the Mobile district,
chairman of the State Committee, called z.
q. Clarke. United States post-ottice agent, to
the chair temporarily.
a motion was made By delegate that
Satfold, judge of the Supreme Court, take the
chair. This created some delay and confu.
sion, but Mayer declared Clarke elected, and
be Immediately took the chair. In his
speech he said he was not in the interest OF
any ring and would not pack committees.
A committee on credentials was appointed,
and the Convention adjourned to p. n.
On reassembling, after somewhat turbu'
lent scene-Busteed and Spencer participa-
ting-the Convention adjourned until
O'Clock tomorrow to allow the Credentials
Committee time to report. The difficulty
seems to be to properly arrange the proxy
business. A great many counties have no
delegates here, and will be represented by
men from various localities in the State.
Owing to the peculiar superintendent OF del
egates by the State Executive Committee
(all white), very few negroes are delegates
The general impression is that the present
State officers (all white) will be renominated,
and that clvil.rlghts will be ignored.
