A Strange Story from Spain.

A strange story is reported from
Spain. A detachment of Alfonsist SOL
diers recently discovered in a secluded
part of mountain chain cavern which
was inhabited by robbers, who had tax
en- advantage of the civil war to ply
their criminal avocations. An alcove
was attached to this subterranecus pas
sage, the door of which the soldiers
broke open. They we're astonished to
find the department. decently furnished,
and provided with books, flowers, and
even a piano. In ar easy chair sat a
venerable old man. The soldiers in
terrogated him, but obtained only inco-
herent replies. It has since been ascer-
tanned, from the confession of one of
the robbers, that the old man was the
cashier of a banking firm at Burgos I;
that they had broken into the bank,
stolen the safe, and taken the cashier
with them, in hopes that he would as
sist. them to open the safe. During
their retreat, which was marked by
many adventures, the intrepid old man
succeeded in evading the vigilance Of
his guardians for short time,
and secreting the safe in place where
he would be able to recover it after
ward. When the booty vas missed, and
the robbers failed to u.duce the cashier
to reveal to them the place where it was
concealed, they revived the proceedings
of the famous cfau6ears by roasting
the feet OF their victim in order to ex-
tort confession. But the inflicted tor
lures had different effect. The man
got mad; and it was with the object Of
restoring him to reason that the robbers
bestowed the utmost attentions on him,
IN hopes that when he recovered his
place where the safe was concealed.

Miss BeckWith's Eive-Mile Swim, fr9ill
London Bridge to Greenwich.
From the London Standard.

From the London Standard.
A young girl named Agnes Alice
Beckwith, daughter of the professor of
swimming at Lambeth Baths, yester-
day accomplished the difficult feat of
swimming from London Bridge to
Greenwich. The distance is rather
more than five miles, and the time was
remarkably fast-namely, Lib. I'm. Abs.
Mr. Beckwith has been connected with
the Lambeth Baths for nearly quarter
of century, and for fourteen years
held the proud position of champion
swimmer of England. The heroine Of
yesterdays proceedings is but Il years
old, of slim make and diminutive sta
ture. The object was to decide a wager
of EGO to e40 laid against her by Mr..
Baylis, the money being deposited with
Bells Life. The event created great
deal of excitement, and all along the
route the progress of the swimmer was
watched by excited crowds on the
wharfs and barges. In addition to the
London Steamboat Company's Volun-
teer, private steam launch, and a row.
ing boat containing her father, the
referee and some half dozen others I'M
mediately interested in the result, a
perfect swarm Of boats accompanied
and indeed impeded-the swimmer the
entire distance. London Bridge was
crowded, as were the vessels and other
points whence view of the start could
be obtained.

A new order, requiring the conductors
of the Philadelphia Railroad to wear
satchels, in which all the company's
property in possession Of the conductor
is TO be carried about while he is on
duty, went into effect on Thursday.
The satchel is suspended on the right
side over the clothing, by broad band
passing over tie left shoulder. AS
might be supposed, this new arrange
hnent meets with great disfavor among
the conductors, who consider that it i'm
plies dishonesty on their part. The
satchels will, no doubt, be very I'M
comfol table things to carry around this
hot weather. Accompanying the satch-
ell are very explicit orders. one of which
is that all the tickets taken up are to
be dropped through an aperture just
large enough to admit them into COM
pa1tment which is locked, and the key
IS kept at each end Of the road to unlock
It. 1t is understood, also, that the con-
ductors will be required to wear uni
form in which there are net 1ny pockets
whatever.

How Thimbles are Made.

The manufacture of thimbles is very
simple, but singularly interesting.
Coin silver is mostly used, and is OBJ
tanned by purchasing coin dollars.
Hence it happens that the profits of the
business are affected instantaneously by
all the variations of the nations green
back promise to pay. The first opera
ton strikes a novice as almost wicked,
for it is nothing else than putting a lot
of bright silver dollars fresh from the
mint, into dirty crucibles, and melting
them into solid ingots. These are
rolled out into the required thickness,
and cut by stamp into circular pieces
of any required size. A solid metal
bar of the size of the inside of the
intended thimble, moved by pow
erful machinery up and down in bot
tomless mold of the outside of the same
thimbles, bends the circular disks into
the thimble shape, as fast as they can
is placed under the descending bar.
Once in shape, the work of Frightening,
polishing and decorating is done upon a
lathe. First the blank form is fitted
with rapidly revolving rod. A slight
touch Of sharp chisel takes a thin

same on the side, and the third rounds
off the rim. A round steel rod dipped
in oil and pressed upon the surface,
gives it a lustrous polish. Then little
revolving steel wheel, whose edge is a
raised ornament, held against the re
volving blank, prints that ornament
just outside the rim. A second wheel
prints an ornament around the center,
while third vheel, with sharp points
makes the lamentations on the lower
half and end of the thimble. The inside
is frightened and polished in similar
way, the thimble being in a revolving
mold. All that remains to be done is to
boil the completed thimbles in soap
suds, to remove the oil, brush them up,
and pack them for the trade.

Death of an Old Actress.

Mrs. A. Drake, an actress closely
identified with the American stage dur
ing the first half of the present century,
died at Drake Farm, Oldham county,
KY, last Thursday, at the age of 70
years. She is described by the Louis
vile Courier-Jouraal as the leading act
ress of the West and Southwest for the
ffty-two years ending in 1868, when
she made her last appearance, in Gin
cinnati. Among the literary and politi-
cal celebrities of her earlier days she
was held in high esteem, and she was
fond of recounting personal reminis-
ces connected with them. Her acting
was remarkable for it's power and in
tensity, and she was chiefly noted for
her Lady Macbeth, Margaret Of Bur-
gauady, Madame Czarenaont in I" A
Mothers Vengeance Evadae. and
other similar parts. Her maiden name
was Denny.

A Lost Hour.

4 golden hour on a summer morn,
When half the world was STILL
1he dew was fresh on the new-mcwn hav.
And the bridal veil of the fair young day
Hung Ger the purple hill.
The sheep-bells tinkled across the slopes,
Sweet as elfn chime;
Butterflies fitted athwart the down,
Bees went murmuring busy and brown,
Over the fragrant thyme
A languid calm and dull content,
Silence instead of speech;
The wind sighed low, and the lark sang high,
But the golden hours of our lives went by,
And drifted out of reach.
We both went back to an eager life;
But in its pause to-day
The CLEAN of that golden hour returns,
And my jaded spirit frets and yearns
For one chance swept away.
The years creep on, and the heart grows tired
Even of hopes fulfilled;
And turns away from the worlds strong wine
With fevered lids that must ever pine
For that pure draught We spilled.
And yet perchance when our long day wanes
Gage hath its joys late born
We shall meet again on the green hillside,
And find, in th e solemn eventide,
The hour we lost at morn.
Good Words.

New Use for Postage Stamps.

Philadelphia possesses an old woman
who has for years been sick, whom a
doctor offered to cure for $500. This
sum of money the woman was unable to
get, SO the doctor informed her that for
l 10000 cancelled postage stamps he
would effect the cure, The old woman
at once set about procuring the stamps.
and, it coming to the ears of the boys
ard girls of the high school and of the
schools in Manayunk and Germantown,
they began to help in the attainment OF
this much desired object. One girl has
already handed over 1900, and others
are even ahead of that figure. "The
1000, 600 stamps, when collected, are to
be pasted on pedestal and exhibited al
the Centennial"

A Remarkable Case.

s writer in She New York Ledger
states that during the summer of 1888
a young man named Halt, of Wilton,
Fairfield county, Conn.,, who was a
devoted student, and who had been
striving very hard to keep up his collie
giate course of studies and teach at the
same time, was suddenly deprived of
his reason and memory, dropping back,
mentally, upon the plane of absolute
infancy. His father, the Rev. Mr.. Hail,
was for time almost beside himself
with anguish at this fearful stroke.
The death of loved one would not
have been SO hard. He sent his son to
Hartford. bu5 found no relief there. He
was recommended to send the young
man to DR.. Chaplain, of Cambridge,
which he did.
DR.. Chaplain made critical examlna-
ton, extending over two weeks. when
nis report was that there could be no
present relief. But" said he to the
father, ssbetween the ages of 35 and
40 think there will he change in the
condition of your son. And he then
explained that the brain was toe much
expanded for its cranial cavity; but that,
GS bIi0 ul1uO. LII 1to E1CoCAo OoANAAoAo1,
was necessarily at rest, nsture might
perform her own cure. The chances
were that before the unfortunate stu
dent should have reached the age Of 40
the substance of the brain would con-
tract, restoring it to healthy action.
The sn1ious father and family found
but little hope in this, yet they waited
patiently, taking good care Of his son
meanwhile. Nineteen years had elapsed
from the date of the visit to DIR. Chap
lain, when Mr.. Halt came down one
morning from his chamber and asked
where his books had been put. They
were given to him, and to the great JOY
of his friends, it was soon apparent that
his reason was restored. He resumed
his studies of mathematics and the
classics, just where he had left them,
and showed no break of intellect. There
was no trace on his mind of the long
blank in his life, nor of anything which
had occurred during his dark years, and
it was some time before his father
dared to tell him that he was almost 40
years of age.

The Color Of the Sea.

The Mediterranean is noted for its
bright and deep-blue color, when I'M
disturbed, though probably it does not
differ much from the ocean in that re-
spect. Prof. Tyndal attributes this
tint to minute particles in suspension,
the existence Of which be proved by
optical experiment. Carpenter found
by filtration that these particles were
inorganic, and much more abundant
than in the Atlantic. According to Adj
miral Smyth, greenish tinge is pre-
valent in Inc Adriatic; it borders on
purple in the Levant Basin, while the
Black Sea often has the dark aspect
from which it derives its name.
