Three years ago he became ac-
quainted with an Irish woman
named Murphy, who had lovely
daughter of seventeen years named
Bridget, or, as va Samio calls her,
a" Beeae." The scion of the flow
cry kingdom fell a victim to the
ardent passion on first sight of the
fair damsel, and at once began the
siege of her heart, but unfortu-
nately for him Bridget had higher
matrimonial aspirations and re-
ceiyed his attentions with an open
repugnance. va Samio had firm

Remarkable Fidelity.

The bad deeds done in this world
much oftener achieve notorietv
than the good ones. We should
hesitate to infer that such is the
case, because there is more evil
done than good. 1t is more than
probable a result of the avidity with
which villainy is noticed, whilst
good conduct and honesty are ex-
pected of men as matters of course,
and hence are more rarely the sub
ject of special remark. Fidelity
and honesty are often maintained
under far greater opportunities for
wrong doing than have swerved the
men who become rascals from the
path Of rectitude. Occasionally,
and sometimes by accident, the
general public get knowledge of the
disinteIested and honorable dis
charge Of lifelong duties by their
fellow-citizens and neighbors, and
it is only these which elicit special
comment. Such an instance came
to light a few days ago. Some
thirty years back, John r. Town
send died in New York, leaving a
large estate, and appointed Samuel
L. Skidmore his executor, and Mr..
Skidmero recently asked to be re-
lieved Of his trust, on account of
advanced age. The representative
Of the estate declared in court that
during his long trusteeship Mr..
Skidmore had refused to accept ary
compensation, and he requested
that his accounts be accepted with
out audit. The New York Surro-
gate remarked that it was a bright
spot in the history of the court,
where so many have proven false to
their trusts, when a case was pre-
sented in which all interested In a
trust expressed themselves SO high
ly gratifed with its management,
and he directed the accounts to
be passed without examination.
Probably there are many instances
Of similar fidelity, but it is rare that
any one takes care of a large estate
for thirty years without compensa-
tion, and none should be asked or
expected to do so. When these
two commendable actions are Joined,
the fidelity and self-sacrifce in-
volved deserve more than a passing
notice.

chief objections to the electric light,
including the difficulty of keeping
the carbon points at the proper dis
tance, so as to secure a steady and
constant light, without the use Of
expensive and delicate adjustment
apparatus, have been overcome by
recent inventions, and it is now
claimed that the electrical light is
superior in all respects to all other
methods Of lighting. A machine
room in Sweden, one hundred and
twelve feet long and fifty feet wide,
is lighted almost as bright as day
by two electric-light lamps placed
at opposite ends of the building.
The cost Of the two machines was
about 5000, and the cost of run
ming them must be very small in a
room already provided with steam
power. 1t is hoped that some day
electrical lights, mounted on high
buildings, so that their direct rays
shall not dazzle the eye, and sufi-
ciently numerous to destroy each
others shadows, may be used for
Illuminating the public streets.

ner, while with his left he motioned
to the bride and groom to approach
him. The whole concourse arose,
and with shouts of gladness capered
around the priests chariot. This
he submitted to for a space of ten
minutes, and then, imperiously
waving his spear, commanded
silence. The groom was now di-
rected to PROSTATE himself upon
the earth upon his back and the
bride directed to place her right
foot upon his throat, which she did
evidentlp with reluctance. While
in this position the priest instructed
the groom that such was to be his
fate, trodden under foot by men,
should he ever prove untrue to his
plighted troth. He was then per-
mitted to rise and directed to ap-
proach the old chief, who placed a
spear at his breast, telling him it
would be his doom should he prove
untrue. He was next directed to
his father, who, producing a piece
of fishing line, informed him that
he would choke to death his off
spring should he ever prove un-
faithful. Then, to cap the climax,
he was directed to face the entire
tribe, who, brandishing their spears,
yelled at the top of their voices
vengeance on him in the event of
unfaithfulness. At this iuncture
the groom, apparently overcome
with emotion, dropped on the
ground, and, bowing his head to
the earth, cried, 81 will be true. "

A MNrksman's Difficult Feat.
Tew York Trihuna


A few hundred men met in Gil
more's Garden last evening to watch
Captain Bogardus' attempt to shoot
1000 balls by means of a double
barreled shotgun in 100 minutes.
The feat was successfully performed
in seventy-seven minutes and forty
seconds, Captain Bogardus missing
twenty-eight shots. A semi-circle
of tables, with a shooters position
at the middle; two traps, sixteen
yards distant from the marksman
and ten yards apart, with two large
piles of hollow glass balls and two
men to place them in the traps, to-
gether with a large white screen to
catch the shot and fragments of
glass, formed the seat of war. Capt.
Bogardus had two sets of barrels,
which he quickly aiternated as they
became too hot for use. His cart
ridges, of which he had a liberal
supply, were within easy reach of
his hand in a large case. In shoot.
ing be followed his own rule Of
raising the gun to his shoulder
after giving the order to pull the
traps. The two discharges were
almost simultaneous, and the glass
balls beneath his perfect aim were
shattered in rapid succession. 1t
was claimed that the charges were
restricted to three and one-hali
drains of powder aud the shot to
one and One-fourth ounce.
Shortly after s o'clock Captain
Bogardus took his station in his
shivt-sleeves. The first two balls
rose in the air, and two misses were
recorded. Then followed ninety.
eight hits, the first 100 shots end
ing in eight minutes. Gun barrels
were changed, and the second 100
began. Ninety seven hits were
made, and three misses, and seven
and one-half minutes consumed.
Thus the firing continued, the cap
tain averaging three misses in 100
balls; 500 hits were reached in
thirty-nine minutes. The thou
sandth bail was sprung after seven
ty-six minutes, the last hundred
shots having been made without =
single miss. The captain was then
twenty-eight balls behind bis score,
and that number Of supplementary
balls was sprung, and all of them
shattered. The last 155 shots,
counting these supplementary ones,
were made without miss.

Anecdotes Of MIsarn.

The true miser loves too look al
his gold, in which he finds more
beauty than elsewhere exists in
the universe; consequently, when
Sir William Smith, wealthy Eng
liSh miser, was at seventy years Of
age, deprived Of his sight, he felt it
to be q terrible affliction. He was
persuaded by Taylor, the celebrated
oculist, to be couched who was, by
agreement, to have sixty gpineas il
he restored his patient to any degree
of sight. Taylor succeeded in his
operation, and Sir William was
enabled to read and write without
the aid of speclacles during the
rest of his life. But no sooner
was his sight restored than the
baronet began to regret that his
agreement had been for so large
a sum; he felt no JOY as Others
would have felt, but grieved and
sighed over the loss Of his sixty
guineas. His thoughts were now
how to cheat the occulist; he pre-
tended that he had only Q glimmer-
ing, and could see nothing dis
tinctly; for which reason the band
age on his eyes was continued a
month longer than the usual time.
Taylor was deceived by these mis-.
representations, and agreed tc
compound the bargain, and accept
twenty guineas instead of sixty
Yet Sir William was an old bach
elor, and had no one to care Of
provide for. At the time Tayloi
attended him, he had a large estate

The rate of flight is different in
different birds. In the time of
Henry ", King Of France, there
was a famous faIcon-a species of
hawk-that was trained to fly from
Fontainebleau to Malta, a distance
of 1850 miles, in the short time of
twenty four hours. Other birds
have even greater power to sustain
themselves for long periods in the
air. Thus the frigate, or man-of-
war bird, is sometimes found on the
Atlantic a thousand miles from the
shore, flying in various directions
in search Of food, so that he must
have flown much more than thou
sand miles in getting there, and
probably flies as much farther in
getting back, making, probably, a
journey of four or five thousand
miles without any rest. 1t has been
said of this bird that it never visits
the shore except during the season
for Matching its eggs, and that it
sleeps while posing itself on its
wings at great hight. Besides all
these various arrangements to keep
the bird long on the wing, there is
still another Of a remarkably inter-
esting character. You know how
a fire balloon is made to rise by
heating the air in it with
a small piece of sponge filled
with alcohol, and set on fire, so that
the heated air is ever rising under
it and lifting it higher and higher
in the air. The air thus heated is
expanded and made lighter in the
balloon, 80 that it is crowded up by
the colder air always getting be-
meath it. Now, there is something
like this in every bird that flies.
The natural heat Of the birds body
is greater than that Of a man. For
instance, the heat of the human
body is ordinarily about 80 degrees,
while that of flying birds is from
LOG to 112 degrees. Now this great
heat of the birds body expands the
air in the lungs, the bones, the quills
and forefedthers, and air sacs, so
that it makes it easy to keep ahoat
in the higher regions; and as eagles,
hawks, and other birds of prey eat
animal food alone, and as this has
more heating properties than vege-
table food, the bodies Of such birds
have a higher temperature, and so
are able to keep longer ON the wing
than those birds that live entirely
on seeds. Hence, we never see those
seed-eating birds flying so high and
remaining so long in the air as the
others that eat flesh.

FLORIDA nnck hunting

Cor. Courier. Journal.l
OCALA, FLA, March 29.-How
they kill ducks on Lake Wier is
known all over Florida, but from
some cause | did not hear of it
until l had been in the State several
weeks. But SO soon as l heard of
it | struck for the noted place to
see the show. Between Lake Wier
and Little Lake there is neck of
land thirty feet wide by half a
mile long. The duck hunters.
sometimes as many as twenty, are
strung up and down this neck of
land. There they stand in wire
grass up to their necks, armed with
long poles, having strong lines
about six feet long with four-ounce
balls of lead attached to the little
end of the poles, ready for the
sport. Other men, who are called
grabbers-I suppose because they
grab the dead and wounded-line
The beach with their little boats.
About a half an hour by sun, the
ducks begin to come from a large
section of country to roost on Lake
Wier.
Heaven alivel The ducks, the
ducks! l hope l may never see the
back of my neck again if l had
ever seen such a sight before. You
have seen a swarm of bees on the
wing; it beats that all "to hollow"
After the ducks get to passing the
"neck" good, they look like dark
cloud moving for several miles out
on the lake. There are more ducks
right on and about Lake Wier than
in the whole States Of Georgia,
South Carolina and Alabama com
bined.
And the noise Please don't say
anything to me about fuss. have
heard whole army trains of wagons
passing over a turnpike, "the roar
of cannons and the rattle of mus
kerry" / have heard storms on
the waters. But 81 will Just be
Joe Bradley and cry for mush," if
| ever heard anything to equal the
noise the ducks made flying over.
The evening l was there they killed
and wounded 1900, and did not get
them all, either. A large number
of these fowls are consumed by the
people living on and around Lake
Wier. The wounded those not
too badly hurt-have their wings
cropped, and are turned in a small
lake, with high plank fence
around it, made for the purpose.
The rest Of the ducks are dressed
and shipped, it being a fine source
of revenue to the place. The duck
season begins about November 1st,
and lasts until about the middle Of
March. 1t is worth a thousand
dollars to see the sight.
