BURIED ALIVE.
BY A. =. HILL.

A few years ago. sn inmate OF the
United States Naval Asylum at Philadel'
phia, who was then nearly ninety years
old. and has since died, told me the iol'
lowing remarkable story of peril:
In 1905, long beiare you had ever
thought OF coming to this world, young
man, was seaman on board OF a United
States frigate which was cruising in the
Mediterranean, and which, about the
irst OF March, landed at Alexandria
Egypt. The United States had for sew
eral years considerable trouble with the
Barbary States, growing out oi interfer-
ence with our commerce on the Mediter.
ranean by the usurping Bashaw OF TripoN
By way of asserting its rights. the
United States Government sent squad
ron into the Mediterranean, and it was
also determined to capture the city oil
Derne with land force. This force was
organized at Alexandria. by General
William Eaton, and consisted oil seventy
American seamen-of which | was one
few hundred Egyptians. and party OF
patriotic Tripolitans. under Hamet. the
e1iled but lawful Bashaw of Tripoli.
1t must be remembered that we were q
thousand miles east of Tripoli, and on
the sixth of March we boldly set out from
Alexandria TO march this long distance.
A portion of our way lay through sandy
deserts, and the march occupied fifty
days, though all of US were not destined
to reach the city OF Dsrne.
We were within few days march of
our destination. when something occurred
that prevented me from taking an active
part in the siege.
We halted, on q beautiful evening in
April, afler having travelled nearly the
whole day over a sandy plain whose
western boundary we had not reached
vet. All around US was waste Of sand.
but at the point we stopped, there was
little cluster of stunted trees. numbering
not more than fifteen or twenty.
Among my companions was sailor.
named Will Snyder. to whom was very
much attached. and with whom had
made several voyages. Many hundreds
of times we had taken our food together,
and every night during the march the
same blanket covered US.
. On the evening in question, when the
camp was beginning to grow quiet, Will
came 10 me and said:
Joe, I've found lovely place to
sleep"
"Where is it ?" asked.
"Out there. Don't you see that clump
of bushes7" and he pointed to dark
spot out in the sandy plain, apparently a
few hundred yards distant. "I've been
there. and the thick grass is growing

to leave, full of vague plans for helping
the sorrowing woman. and uncertain az
to the best plan 10 pursue. Fred's VIII
helped him out OF his dilemma.
Come here. father, and see these
lovely passion flowers; l want you
10 buy them for mother. She paid
ten dollars for the maplo.leavcs in the
library; and they are not hal. as pretty.
"Will you sell them, Miss Lncia?"
81 made them TO sell, sir; but
would like TO give them to your wife, as
you were papa's friend"
That is it. Well, well, some day
you shall make bud or two expressly
for her. But these were made TO sell !
and your papa's friend would like 10 be
the purchaser He gave her fifteen
dollars for the spray, aud begged her TO
iasten them securely in q box. or his
rogues would have them in fragments
before he reached home.
All the way home, their heads were
full of plans for helping Lucia and her
mother. At dinner Mrs. Bond heard the
subject discussed until she was not only
curious, but anxious. to see the maker OF
the beautiful flowers her husband had
brought her.
The next morning. soon after break
fast. Mrs. Bond paid Il visit to the widow,
and, sftsr long call, she went away,
saying 10 herself, "But for Gods mercy,
| might be in her place; and she is gen.
tie, patient, hopeful. l have learned
something to-day"
well. my dear" asked Mr.. Bond in
his CHEEKY tone, "how shall We help tho
Dinsmores?"
Harvey" said his wife. turning the
diamond on her finger restlessly, "woud
you think il wise to bring Mrs. Dinsmore
here, that we may have the best medical
aid for her? The child could not be
taken from her mother; and | am sure
it would be good thing for the boys TO
have girl in the house. That proud
little Lucia can give ms lessons in wax
work, If she likes. What DO you think.
Harvey?"
For answer, Harvey Bond crossed the
room. and held the handsome face oi his
wiic between his hands.
IL think. little woman, that the God OF
The widow and iatheress will bless you
for this, even US in my poor way do
now"
1t was all settled q. last. Lucia and
her mother went 10 the Bonds for visit.
" bile the invalid was being treated Tor
her spinal trouble; and. at the end OF
six months, Mrs. Bond begged her to
"remain always. and be to her the sister
she needed"
"Aunty Dinsmore" is bright blessing
TO them all. Mr. Bond has discovered a
bit OF trickcry in the settlement OF his
friends estate; and his keen business
eyes will make the most OF it.

Legal Redemption OF South Carolina
from Misrule.

Columbia, S. c., Dec. 5.-The action Of the
Supreme Court to-day virtually completes the
political redemption of South Carolina. It
gives the solemn sanction of The highest judi
cial tribunal to the validity Of the triumph
which the intelligence and property of the
State has struggled so long and so desperately
to win, and by assuring The taxpayers OF Legal
protection from further spoiation, removes be-
yond the reach Of the public pIuuderers the
five years Of good stealing which a prominent
carpct-bagger has declared still remains in
South Carolina.
1t is now certain that the Chamberlain usur-
patton will be absolutely poWeEless to bleed
the taxpayers under the forms of law, and eve
rybody is sanguine t!at the pledge Of General
Hampton, VINO publicly declared to-day that
he had been fairly elected and meant 10 be the
Governor Of South Carolina, will be speedily
fulfilled.
