Sage Virgins.

In a review Of q recent publication,
the New York sun critic incidentally
recalls the story of the three Misses
Cation, of Maryland:
Since their names and striking for
tunes have passed into history, we may
recall with profit, and doubtless without
reproach, some incidents of the tale. OF
course, most people have heard of the
felicities which befel the Misses Cation
in England, but few know what slender
portions they carry to their future lords.
Good looks (by no means superlatiye,
however) they had, and they un9ues-
~tionably were granddaughter of Charles
Carroll, of C~arrolltOn. OF accomplish
ments or culture of any high order they
could not boast, and rs to their estate,
real or PERSONAL---VERY. the husband IT
n Of them bestirred himself, rather
late in the day, to institute some eau
tious inquiries, that sardonic old gen.
tleman, their grandfather, could not re-
member any, present or prospective.
Neither had they powerful connections,
well placed about the court, or indeed
any facilities beyond q few letters of in
PRODUCTION supplied by az English ac-
q%uaintance residing in the States. A
modest outfit this, and yet these sage
virgins so trimmed their lamps and
wove their nets so cunningly that po-
tentates no less high and mighty than a
Duke of Leeds, a Marquis of Wellesley
and another scarcely less conspicuous,
fell prompt and unresisting victims. 1t
was the future Marchioness, they say,
who unlocked for her sisters the door OF
opulence and pOmp, and a pleasant
story is related of her first introduction
to the noble Lord, some details
of which those Of our fair
readers contemplating the conquest of
the British Islands may do we'll to in
wardly digest. 1t seems Miss Cation
was staying at a country house when
the Marquis arrived, and soon thereaf-
ter, yielding to a natural curiosity. the
young lady ascertained from az Obedi-
ent abigail the precise whereabouts at a
given moment of the distinguished guest.
BY an odd coincidence, ONE minutes
later, Lord Wellesley, who happened to
be in the library intent upon n newspa-
per, was considerably perplexed and de-

neck, two velvet lips upon his cheek,
and his ears saluted in delicious accents
by the words, "My dear, dear grand
father" Now, as a matter of fact, his
" courtly features bore small resem-
blance to the wrinkled visage of the
master of Carrollton; moreover, the IT,
tie of grandsire is not grateful to un-
married men of q certain age; but the
soul of the Marquis was too lofty and
generous for such considerations; be
sides, he had no time, for the piteous
confusion into which the damsel fell on
detecting her error, and which indeed
seemed likely to deprive her of her rea-
son, must have melted q heart Of stone.
When, with much pains and tender So
licitude. he had succeeded in calming
her agitation, and she, still bathed in
tripped lightly from the room.
the pulses of the gallant veteran beat a
reveilleto which his blood had been long
. stranger. Here, c~ertes, was the one
maid in all wide Britain whose artless
and simple faith might be
to love him for himself alone.

Massacre Of a Missionary Party in
Africa.

The Able Debaize, sent out by the
French Government, was, when last
heard of, on the way from Unyanyembe
to Ujiji. He is an energetic man and a
quick traveller. 1t is reported that be-
fore reaching Unyanyembe he came
into collision with some men of an
Unyambezi Chief, a relation and rival
of the present Unyambezi Sultan of
Unyanyembe, much given to highway
robbery. The Able found with these
men ten tusks of ivory which they had
plundered from an Arab caravan, and
were spying out his position in order to
bring down q gang of robbers upon
him. This ended in the Able killing
the men and taking the ivory to Unyan-
yembe. After this q party of the Church
Missionary Society-apparently under
MIR. Stokes-came up, but having dis
covered that the Chief Myungu was
plundering, they took the road by Ituvu,
and thereby avoided him. Another
church missionary party, seemingly
under Mr.. Penrose, fell into his hands,
and was attacked neal q lake or pool of
water, where the trees gave cover to
the enemy. Mr.. Penrose was killed,
also sixty-two of his men, chiefly Unyan-
wezi porters. but including ten Zanzi-
barians. Mr. Penrose is said to have
fought bravely, holding the robbers in
check so long as his cartridges lasted,
killing sixteen with his own hand before
he fell. Every thing was lost; and a
few days after the empty packing cases
lay OF the ground, and sixty-three dead
bodies were counted, including that of
. white man, supposed to be Mr..
Penrose.

Of HUMANITY"
The Vicar-G General himself, in \ letter
20 the authorities Of Detroit, described
the terrible ordeal in these words
Fear overpowered the community,
courage vanished. and enterprise ceased.
No arrangement whatever for the dread
ful event had been made, and the COM
mon council; having failed To obtain the
Capitol for that purpose. Detroit was
left without q public building it to tie
used tor cholera patients; Yet the press
ure of circumstances required some
place where the victims of the disease
could be brought and attended To-. for
the inhabitants were too much frighten-
ed to take care Of those among them
who were attacked by the pestilence.
The edifice known as Trinity Church
was, therefore, thrown open for that
purpose, and q temporary partition was
raised through the center Of the build
ing, in the four rows Of pews, and every
second pew was taken out To give room
for the sick patients, male patients be-
ing brought in OF n side and female
patients on the other side Of the parti-
ton. Thus the church was NJ once,
without loss Of time, turned into a hos

the time the p~estilencs continued raging

In that great battle with the plague

large sums OF borrowed money, which,
on account of the financial distress of
1886, he was obliged To make good, the
authorities Of Detroit being unable TO
refund to him the sums he had eX-
pended.

Remarkable Developments nj . Salt
Well In Western New York.

The Vacuum Oil Company OF this
CITY. says the Rochester Democrat, has
for some time past been engaged in
sinking Q salt well at lie Roy, and the
enterprise has been watched with no
little curious interest. There were no
very decided results, however, until yes
terday afternoon, but the demonstration
was lively enough then, and for \ few
moments the frightened workmen were
under the impression that their drill
had pierced the Internal regions. Short
IL after IL O'Clock the depth Of 40 feet
was reached when gas appeared in mod
crate quantities, but gradually the sup
ply increased, and at 2 O'Clock IL came
out with such q rush that il was igni,ed
by the fire in a coal stove, 10 feet dis
tant from the mouth of the well. The
house in which the men were working
was instantly filled with flames and they
barely escaped with their lives. In a
few seconds tie woodwork caught fire
and the destruction of the entire derrick
seemed inevitable, but the gas was fol-
lowed by q rush of water whichrose to a
height of 50 feet in the
air, quickly e~xtinguishing the
flames. Then followed alternate
floods Of gas and jets of water, each one
holding its own for about a minute and
q half before it gave way TO the other.
The water had q strong sulphuric taste
at first, with q slight appearance of salt,
and as the supply of gas commenced to
diminish the flow of water increased.
BY degrees the water became less sui
phurous and more thickly impregnated
with salt, until at half-past 5 O'Clock it
wss a strong brine, spOuting TO a height
of 20 feet. Steadily increasing at half
past Z O'Clock, it reached an altitude of
ITO feet which it held. The bore of the
well is eight inches, and the casing TAX
ing up about an inch leaves an opening
of seven inches in diameter from which
the solid stream is thrown high in the
air. At the latest reports last night the
field in which the well is located was
flooded with brine and yet there was no
indication of a cessation of the deluge.
What the result will be, of course, no
one at present can tell. Perhaps salt
will be found, and ii not maybe the gas
a be utilized for lighting and heating
purposes.

Saw.mill Speculation.

A gentleman nsmed David Barnes, of
LoveIand, Col, heard Of the great scar
city of lumber and the plentiful supply
of logs in this camp, and having an eye
to business he purchased a sav-mill for
$1,000 and started for Leadville. At
every station along the route he heard
we'll authenticated reports of the rapid
rise in lumber, each furnishing 8 new
incentive to hurry his team.
Mr.. Barnes and his saw-mill headed
into Chestnut Street yesterday after
noon, when he learned that lumber was
in demand at $50 per thousand, and at
that price none to be had in the market.
He ordered his team to halt while he
made some inquiries about location, etc
and when he returned to issue march
ing orders he found a party waiting TO
see the man that owned that mill"
SIS this your mill, sir?" said of
the party.
"Yes SIR"
"Going to use it YOURSELF"
"Tbat's the calculation"
"What does such q mill cost"
"Paid $1,600 for IT,"
swami to sell it?"
"Don't care"
"Well, whatM you take for it?"
"Irl take $500"
"Reckon you didn't come up for
your health?"
"No, -ir; come up to saw lumber.
Drive on, boys"
"Just hold on 3 miuu.e," said the
purchaser; "friend, if you viii step
over to the bank LII give you 8 check
for the money"
Marching orders were countermsnded
BY Mr.. Barnes, and in i've minutes he
pocketed his $1,000, making q cool thou

THE MORRILL, TWINS,

"No boy or man," said the Doctor,
"accOmplishes SO much in life as the
one with the bulldog jaw and set pur-
pose-in short, the quality of holding
on"
"N-no," hesitated the Colonel. "And
yet, the success of these strong-willed,
obstinate fellows depends altogether on
the track on which they run. They 90

"Well, he was q classmate of mine
when l went to q distant school, up in
the mountains in Vermont.
"There were two of the Morrill, boys
-twins-James and Jack. Red-head-
ed, ugly fellows, so much alike that
their mother scarcely knew them apart.
But Jack was an easy, good-tempered,
noisy boy, while James was silent, slow,
and almost as sure as death itself.
"Janes had few ideas, and as few
friends, but he held to them both with
q tenacity which I never saw equaled.
"One day, Mr.. Ruddiman, the teach
er, accused James Morrill, of some mis-

He walked ont of the school, and

after that, moved to Boston, and James
