down to me for just one thousand dol
lars. told them to make out the
deed while went home after the
money. I emptied my old stocking of
gold and silver, and found nine hund-
red and fifty dollars. I borrowed the
other fifty dollars without trouble at
the settlement, and straightway pro-
ceeded to the Office of Squire Simpkins,
where the deed had been made. The
instrument had been duly signed and
sealed, and when the Squire had as
sured me that the payment of the
money would make all safe and fast, I
handed over the gold and silver.
I observed that the name of John
Twist had been recently signed, and
asked Simpkins if Mr.. Twist was pres
ent.
"' He was presenta few minutes ago,
said Simpkins, 'and will be back again
for his money
Half an hour afterward I called at
the Squire's again, and Mr.. Twist had
just gone out with his money.
"There he is now,' said Mr.. Simp-
kins.
ct looked out of the window, and at
the door of the inn, was a man, in bot
tie green coat, just mounting the horse.
I recognized the horse, and I recog-
nized the man.
6" Who is that man. I said, he
with green coat?
"That,' said Mr.. Simkins, is John
Twist
In moment more the man in the
bottle green coat had ridden away, and
buttoned up within that coat beheld
my reverend guest! 1t rushed upon
me that the Rev. Paul Meekmore and
John Twist were one and the same per-
son!
A few days after, I took my Jumps of
white metal to man who was versed
in such matters, and asked him what
they were. He took the largest lump
and tested it. and said:
Pewter!
CT asked him if pewter was ever
dug out of the earth in that shape.
&C Well,' said he, 'sceing that pew
ter is an alloy of lead and tin it could
not be very we'll dug up unless some
one had buried it beforehand
Touching further explorations on
my Twist lot,' will not speak. l
will only add that have an old stock

- Arifed gun, weighing eighty-one
tons-by far the largest piece or ord
nance in the world-has just been COM
menced at Woolwich Arsenal, England.
1t will throw 1000 pounds weight, and
is intended for the iron-clad hafexi6le,
which will carry four of these monsters
in two turrets. She is to be constructed
to carry guns up to $50 tons weight,
when such can be made. She has Just
been commenced at Portsmouth, and
will be defended by twenty-four inches
of solid iron plating-which is at least
twice as thick as the armor of any ex-
listing iron-clad. She will be sea-go-
ing vessel, quite capable of crossing the
Atlantic.
