A correspondent in Siam sends us a roman
tic story of elopement and diplomacy in that
far-off country. There was an international
complication, with a woman at the bottom of
it; il is proposed to behead a Siamese noble
man who has been running away with pretty
girl, and there are numerous negotiations and
quarrels with a British gunbOat in the back
ground. The dispute is to be referred, it
seems, to Downing Street and it is to be
hoped Lord Salisbury may find himself able
to support the inalieHable right of man to
run off and get married, if he chooses to get
married in that way.
The first days work of the new tenement

a district for the Inauguration of the work

city. Both the inspectors and the tenants
need to become better used to this ordeal
especially the latter. 1t has seemed probable
from the beginning of the agitation that as
many difficulties would be placed in the way
of reform by tenants as by landlords, and
the first days trial demonstrated it.

Human Nature in Load of Wood,

There is better, more truthful por-
trayal of human nature in a load of wood
D. e., in tie way it is loaded, than in half
the "plays" we see, and for fear that
some one will not read the signs Alright,
an unerring guide is given. When the
outside of the load is straight, body oak,
and the inside crooked Eastwood and
elm, you may know the man who loaded
it is an honest, contiding soul who
wouldn't cheat his own mother, if the old
lady watched him too closely. Then
there is the load of solid oak; oak clear
through, except about sixty cubic feet of
daylight which the ingenious owner has
incorporated by a fanciful arrangement
of the less ethereal element of his load.
The business of this mans life is to sell
three quarters for four, and he most al
ways succeeds. The arrangement of this
load indicates rock bottom integrity on
the part of the owner. There are many
other kinds of loads, and the owner never
fails to hold the mirror up to his own ma
ture when he piles it on; but we skip
them all except one; scarce variety it
is and probably always will be. It is
composed of good honest wood, and there

Sir Humphry Davy.

It was in old Penzance, and amid the
old surroundings, that Humphry Davy
was born on the 171h of December, ITS.
just century ago. His father, Rober.
Davy, had been successful wood-carver
in his younger days, and by the death OF
an elder brother, a!terward became pos
sessed OF small estate called Varfell, a
couple of miles from the town. His
mother was certain Grace Millett, who
had been left orphaned of her parents in
one day, with two sisters to share her loss,
and with no one to look to for advice and
assistance but a cousin and the surgeon
who attended her father and mother in
their last illness. The estate to which
Mr.. and Mrs. Davy removed which Hum
phry, their eldest child, was some years
old, had been in possession Of the family
there is some ground for believing that that
the pedigree could be carried
much further back, if that could
serve to make Humpbry Davy mole ia
mour than he is. It is. however, quite
the other way, for we might rejoice to
know that both the Davys and Millets
"came in with Richard Conqueror," be-
cause, far down in the ages, there was
born ct their name and blood one whose
reflected glory lightens up these vague
ancestral shapes. Humphreys boyhood
was not unlike that of other children.
He learned to read quickly, and his IA
vorite books were the ;'Pilgrim's Prog
ress" and the ''Arabian Nights He
was robust and active. took naturally to
walking and swimming, fishing, and
shooting. In his rambles he began to
observe outer nature, collected minerals
and oars, with which Carnival has been
identified from prehistoric times, gath
cred natural history specimens thrown
up by the Atlantic. His preliminary
education finished, he was sent to school
al Truro: but partly from the character
of his master, partly from want of sys-
tenn, he wat lett much to himself. So,
though by his inheredt ability he was
distinguish in his classes, he
obtained no real training. and
his course of study was shaped
by himself. He read history and the
writings Of the Scotch philosophers; he
harangued his school-fellows on moral
SUBJECTS, Ut dmuSeu Luem VIII SLOrleS
compounded Of his favorite Orietal
myths and legends of Cornish fairies aud
pixies, which he learned from his grand
mother; he wrote their valentines, for
he had fertile and vivid invention, a
store of words. and a ready pen;he wan
dered by the shores of the bay, writing
poetry on St. Michael's Mount and the
bygone Druids, or declaiming his own or
another's verses against the lash of the
rushing surf; he argued on the mysteries
of ontology with any one who would en-
gage with him; but his master failed to
detect any marked ability, and confessed
that he could claim but little credit for
educating him. Dayy. indeed, congratu-
lates himself that at school he was left to
develop his tastes and powers pretty
much as he pleased. Good Words.

dent Paul had made the desperate leap.
Then Dick was in doubt whether his su-
perlor was alive or not. But following
the course Of the river as forlorn hope,
they had fortunately reached the ambush
IN time to save both Rose and Paul's
life.
Nothing now remained but to find the
treasure which Cavering had obtained at
such sacrifice, and many an hour of
anxious thought had Paul expended on
the subject. There was but little to
guide nina vague hint that might
mean nothing still, for the sake of the

ing OF the haunts of her father, and abso-
lutely nothing of great rock or cross.

In small gully running into the side
OF precipltous hill, hugh rock was

secretly repaired to the spot prepared to
underearth the buried gold; and noting
the extremity of the shadow cast by the
rough cross. the two men commenced
their labors.
They were crowned with success, and
tour large canvas bags of gold dust and
nuggets were dragged forth.
1t was the fortune of Rose Clavering
and Paul, with his escort, conveyed her
to the nearest military post, where she
was to remain until he could obtain leave
OF absence, and travel with her to the
East IN hopes of finding some of her rela-
tives.
Months elasped before he was enabled
to carry out his plans; but when he
reached Chicago no trace of the name of
ClaVerlng remained. The machinery of
the police and law was put in motion,
but with no satisfactory result.
Every moment Of his leave was ex-
pended in the search, and when he
sought Rose, at her hotel, his heart heavy
and sad with the prospect of parting with
her, she listened with silence to Paul's re.
grets at his failure to find her friends,
but started impetuously to her feet when
ne added that, with the dawn of another
day, ne must return to his post and duty.
Her face flushed and paled as she strove
in vain to speak, her bosom rose and fell
convulsively, and but for the strong arm
OF the officer Rose would have fallen to
the floor.
His visit was prolonged. What passed
between them Is known only to them
selves; but soon after the war department
received First Lieutenant Paul Welch's
resignation, and in place of returning to
his post amid the savage Sioux, he en-
gagged double passage for the more congo
NAL climate of Europe with Rose as his
young, blushing bride.

THE FALL RIVER STRIKERS
A Noisy but Harmless Disturbance.

A Noisy but Harmless Disturbance.
FALL RIVER, July 21.-The most serious dis
turbance which has occurred here since the
present labor trouble took place tonight. A
woman with her son came here from Warren,
r. l., this afternoon, and the latter a weaver
was given work at the Merchants mill, and the
mother given tenement in one of the Co.'s
houses on Plain street. About o'clock in the
evening the women in the neighborhood began
to make threats, and rocks were thrown at the
house and windows broken. The woman com
planned to the police and two officers were sent
to guard the house. The crowd continued to
increase and the officers decided it advisable to
remove her to safer quarters. AS she went
through the streets the crowd rapidly increas-
ed until about 1000 men, women and BOYS had
gathered ON Bedford street at the north end of
Merchants mill, and also opposite the office
where VIII number of new spinners, including
Tour VINO arrived Jn1S afternoon, were quarter
ed. Another crowd about half the size assem-
bled at the South end Of ti.o mill = Rocks were
freely thrown and one OF the special watchmeh
at the mill was considerably hurt Ten police
cant to the mill, who succeeded in
quelling the disturbance. No arrests.
Large crowds also gathered in the vicinity of
several other mills in the same section, but no
attempt was made to create a disturbance, and
at 1910 o'clock the city was reported quiet. A
large number of spinners arrived today, and
although the Union spinners succeeded in get
ting several nobfticks to leave town yesterday
the mills have made decided gain. The Mar
raganset mill which shut down thesfrst day af
ter the strike, and which has been the only
mill stopped for the past three weeks, resumed
work this morning. Among the spinners who
have gone to work today are several of the old
help, although no union spinners are reported
among them.
The Daily Record, an evening paper, which
has been published here for six months, died
tonight. The alleged cause was the failure to
get support from advertisers, in conseq uence
of dull business brought on by theistrike.

THE NEGRO EXODUS.
Forced Stoppage of Relief Measures at
ST. Louis

Forced Stoppage of Relief Measures at
St. Louis.
ST. LOUIS, July 21-Several weeks ago the
President of the Western Sanitary Commissions,
james Il. Yeatman, undertook the temporary
relief of negro refugees from the Soulh The
old Eagle foundry, near the landing, was fitted
up with hunks and cooking facilities, and those
who came from below found haven until
such time as they could get to Kansas, or find
homes in and about st. Louis. On Saturday
evening this refuge closed. There were about
a hundred refugees still stopping there, and
they moved their baggage to the levee and
camped for the night. On Sunday these and
hundred more who came up on the City of
Alton left on the Kinney for Kansas. Later,
the Grand Tower arrived with party from
Bolivar, Miss. No place was provided for
them, and they camped on the wharf. Mr.
Yeatman says the closing of the Refuge was
necessitated by failing funds. He undertook
the work, thinking the exodus would be of
short duration, and those who did come could
be relieved at comparatively small expense. 1t
was purely work of philanthropy with him.
Instead Of failing off, he says the exodus con-
tinueS as strong as ever. and there is no pros
pect of its stopping. He has expended over
$4,000 in simply giving temporary refuge, He
has no more means at hand to continue the
work, and appeals to the city authorities in
vain. He says an effort will be made to in
form the negroes in the South who may be
contemplating emigration that they must not
expect any help in st. Louis.

W. e. McHenry, one of the Directors of the
Board of Trade, has suspended, caused by the
heavy decline in wheat and provisions. 1t is
bought its wheat at an average price of 81
cents The storage and other charges amount

cents bushel profit; but it made the most of
its money on options in the spring. The Chi

lett, VIM. Young & Co., and latterly by

prospects, and information regarding the

its wheat.
