A Successful Female Detective.

For the pas thcte months Nellie Nc
Phearson, WHO has for some time been
in the employ Of the St. Joseph detec-
i've agency, has travelled through the
West and Northwest on business con-
nected with the agency here. and her
success as a "spotter shows her to be
a remarkably shrewd woman. She is
about thirty-two years old, tall and
slender, with dark hair, piercing black
eyes and altogether very stylish and
attractive. Her latest exploit termin-
ated in Chicago, a day or two ago, when
she succeeded in getting the cllnchers
on one of the deepest-dyed villains in
the West, and the leader and accomplice
of a gang of counterfeiters which have
infested this section for the past two
years. ,
Some months since the managers Of
the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe, the
Chicago, Rock Island and Pacific. the
Chicago and Northern railroads become
cognizant of the fact that a great many
bogus local tickets had heen set afloat
along their lines, and on application
Detective Murray Of Chicago was au-
thorized to work up The job, and. If pos
sible, bring the guilty parties to justice.
He reported from time to time that no
satisfactory trail of the counterfeiters
could be struck, and finally Nellie Nc
Phearson was delegated to assist him in
the work. From the outset she was
suspicious of the detective himself, and
for three months she watched him like
q hawk, though pretending to fall des.
~perately in love with him. and more
than anxious that they should succeed
in their undertaking, IN order that they
might raise q stake" get married and
settle down. Sharp Us he wa the wo-
man fooled him. Last week the two
spent several days in St. Joseph, and
while Murray was working" certain
parts of the city, or pretending to be
rather, Nellie was closeted in the office
of her employers reporting progress,
which to say the least was ANYTHING
but favorable to the ''detective "-her
pretended lover, Mr.. Murray. From
St. Joseph they went to Chicago, where
a few days secret investigation placed
her in possession OF a perfect ~hirlwind
of evidence. and convinced her that
"Detective" Murray was the very mar
who had set a6oat the bogus railroad
tickets. Then she set the trap. gave
the detective an official surprise in his
room at the hotel, and as a result he
now plays checkers with his nos in a
Chicago jail.-&. Joseph (Mo.) Mews.

A Miners Adventure.

One of the most thrilling adventures
in the annals of mining happened at the
Zeile mine, near Jackson, California, a
short time ago. AT the morning shift
Nicolaus Noce, m italian, with a num-
Der of other miners. went to work on
the 240.foot level. Noce, it seems, was
separated from his companions. They
had been at work but Il few minutes
when the premonitory 8 mptoms Of \
coming cave, such Is the creaking of
timbers and falling Of small pieces Of
rock, told them that it WIS time to seek
safer quarters. In withdrawing they
were not forgctful of Noce, shouting to
him to get out of dangers way. He.
however, did not realize the nature OF
the trouble. The cries Of his comrades
conveyed the idea that something was
wrong, and lie rctreated toward the face
| of the tunnel. No sooner had he got out
of the way than the crash came. One
half of the ledge next to the hanging
wall came down with a laundering
sound, crushing the heavy timbers like
match sticks, the cave involving about
thirty feet along the ledge, rearing an
effectual barrier between Noce and his
,mpanions and liberty. It vas not
long before the awful nature of his stu
alton dawned upon Noee. He was cut
of in the tunnel. q lone prisoner in one
OF the rccessrs. of the mine, with hun
,ireds of tons Of rock and debris choking
up the only possible outlet from his cell.
From the cave the tunnel was sixty feet
in length, which would aford air fora
day or two. He was well provided with
candles. having two or three with him,
and he began to contemplate the pros
pect of having to >ubsist by eating them.
Meanwhile the escaped miners had COM
intoxicated with Superintendent Rose,
and within fifteen minutes a hundred
! meu were picking q tunnel to the rescue.
! About seven O clock in the evening an
M rture was made, and Noce crawled
out of bis tomb for a day."

The Sea Scavenger.

This fish is a species of mussel, the
Mytilus lIhophagus. 1t works much
mischief on the hulls Of ships, and on
this account it is regarded by ship own
ers as an enemy, yet a Westminster re-
viewer, quoted by Professor Simmons,
points o ut another action of this fish
more than equivalent on the side of ad-
vantage. "Were the fragments OF
wrecks and masses of stray timber, that
would choke harbors and clog the
waves, permittedto remain undestroyed,
the loss of life and injury to property
that would result would soon far ex-
coed all the damage done and dangers
caused by the teredo. This active shell
fish is one of the police of Neptune-a
scavenger and cleanser Of the sea. 1t
attacks every stray mass of floating and
sunken timber with which it ..omes in
contract, and soon reduces it to harm
lcssness and dust. For one ship sunk
by it. n hundred are really saved; and
while we d%eprecate the mischiefand dis
tress of which it has been the uncon-
scious cause, VIC are bound to acknowl-
edge that. without its operation. there
would be infinitely more treasure buried
in the abysses of the deep. and more
venturons mariners doomed to watery
graves"

A Triple Tragedy.

while counting his money, was called
out of the room, leaving some banknotes
on the table. His little son, four years
old, began to play with the pretty pic
lures, and when the father returned he
found only small pieces left. In bis
rage he threw the boy violently upon the
floor. At this moment his wife entered
the room with her baby in her arms
letting the baby fall, she snatched the
boy and fled from the house with him,
but found no trace of life in him. In
despair she returned to the house and
beheld q new horror-her babe was @
lifeless corpse floating in the tub Of
water where it had fallen from her arms,
Overwhelmed by misery, the father
committed suicide by hanging himself

Perseverance and Health.

A man who inherits wealth may be.
gin and worry through threescore and
ten years without any definite object.
In driving, in foreign travel, in hunting
and fishing, in club houses and society,
he may manage to pass. away his time;
| but he will hardly be happy. It seems
to be necessary to health, that the pow
! ers of man be trained upon some sub
ject, and steadily held there day after
day, year after year, while vitality Lasts.
There may come a time in old age when
the fund of vitality will have sunk so
that he can follow M consecutive labor
without such a draught upon his forces
that sleep cannot restore them. Then,
and not before, he should stop work.
! But so long as q man has vitality to
spare upon work, it must be used, or 1t
will become a source of grievous, haras-
sing discomfort. The mar will not
know what to do with himself; and
when he has reached such a point as
that, he is unconsciously digging a grave
for himself, and ~fashioning his own
coffin.
Life needs q steady channel to run in
- regular habits of work and sleep. 1t
needs a steady, stimulating aim".a tend
toward something. An aimless life can
never be happy, or, for a long period,
healthy. Said q rich lady. to a gentle
man still laboring beyond his needs
Don't stop; keep at it," The words
that were in her heart were: If my
husband had not stopped, he would be
alive to-day" And what she thought
was doubtless true. A greater shock can
hardly befall a man who has been active
than that which he experiences when,
having relinquished his pursuits, he
finds unused time and unused vitality
hanging upon his idle hands and mind.
The current of his life is thus thrown
into a sluggish pool, and he beginst to die.

A Terrible Experience.

RaShneSS and care1eSnesS cause many
of the accidents by flood and field"
Men, in order to save a few minutes of
| time, or a walk of a mile, will take risks
that would brighten the president of an
accident insurance company.
An English gentleman, a civil engi-
neer, once passed through a terrible ex-
perience while looking death in the face.
The occasion Of it was his rash careless
ness in jumping from a railway car
while in motion. His residence was
neal the line of the railroad, but the
| station was u mile OF two further on.
| One night he was coming home in a
train made up of one passenger car and
forty or fifty freight cars. AS he did not
wish to walk from the station, be
arranged that, on approaching his house,
| the train should be slowed up, and he
would get out as best he could. On
arriving at the spot the speed of the
train was slackened to five or six miles
an hour. The gentleman opened the
car door and looked out. It was so dark
that he could not see the ground. He
Jumped and pitched upon a heap Of bal
la%st-stone. 1t yielded, and his foot
slipped. He fell toward the moving
train and tumbled into q hole eight
inches deep and almost under the rail.
His head ust fitted into this hole-a
tight fit it was, for a passing wheel tore
off his hat-while his body laid away
from the rail on the embankment. "Am
| safap" was his first thought. A car
passed over without touching him, but
rafting the loose rail joints SO as to jar
him terribly. Clank, clank, clank. and
the wheels of the next a shook him
again. AS he began to fee. safe the
thought struck him: "Wh-t if there
should be a loose coupling swinging from
a car" He listened painfully for the
jangling of a swaying chain. The cars
moved so slowly that it seemed ss if the
train would never be past. Then an al
most irresistible desire to raise his head
possessed him. He knew if lie did that
it would be slicedi in two. But ciinched
teeth and fists, and a prayer of agony for
strength TO resist the desire, hardly kept
his head down in that hole of safety.
The desire became intense. It over
mastered his reason and the fear of death.
He started to raise his head and saw 4
red glare. 1t was the "tail-lamp"-the
train had passed. His reason told him
he was safe. but to his brain a after
car continued to roll above him. He
raised his head, wondering how he
should feel when it was off, and tainted.
When he came to himself he stag gered
home and went to bed. 1t was long
before he left that bed, for brain fever
set in.

A Princely Proposal.

The wooing of the Princess Stephanie
is described by a Brussels correspondent
as having been very practical. At an
entertainment at the palace, Rudolph
and the princess found themselves for a
moment alone. The prince, Selling the
opportunity, and preserving the courtly
style which is nowhere more rigorous
than at Vienna, said: MADAME, will
you have me for your husbandp" The
reply was simplicity itself: Eyes, mon
se~igneur." Your highness' answer
makes me very happy" rejoined the
prince ; and she added: "And promise
you under ali circumstances l will do
my duty" This was all. and they went
out together to rejoin the royal family,
when Prince Rudolph said to the king,
" Sire, with your majesty's permission
I have asked the Princess Stephanie to
accept me as her husband. Ihave the
pleasure to announce to your majesty
that my proposal has been accepted"
liam happy, monseigneur, to receive
YOU as my son-in-law," answered the
king. The princess political education
has been wholly conducted by her
father, and, speaking of her lately to a
high parsonage, his majesty remarked
"Ihave taught the princess that the
FIRST sentiment which ought to inspire
one when one is called upon to reign: is
respect for the will of the nation."-

What Came of Having the Roof Tarred.

A Boston mar, 80 says q p9per pup
shed in that city, had the fiat roof OF
9he L of his house tarreu the other day,
and when six or seven cats got on to it,
the following night. they co I'D yell and
arch their backs and try to get a pull on
all four feet at once, but they couldn't
lit themselves free and their signing was
frightful, and peoplein the neighborhood
began to chuck things at them, and the
owner of the house forgot about the tar,
and went barefoot and in his robe de mutt
upon theroofto chase them off, and pretty
soon he found that he couldn't stir, and
began to whoop and swear, and a police
man got a ladder and climbed on the roof,
and when he came up over the edge on
his hands and knees, he had to remain
in that posture and he used very EN-.
phatic language. Meantime the boot
jacks were falling in a shower about
and around them, and the mans
mother in-law, in looking out of an up
per window that overlooked the L roof.
to ask themif they were not ashamed
to be out on q roof playing cat at that
time of night, knocked her wig off and
it fell in the tar, and she rushed down
a flight and went out on the roof to get
it and couldn't pull the wig up, but got
her hand stuck to it, so she couldn't let
20 of it, and of course her position and
her bald head made q dead give-away
as it was quite light, when some one f.
nally came with boards for them to be got
on to when they were cut loose from
the tar, and the old lady did not feel q
bit worse than the policeman, who had
to walk through the street with the
knees of his trousers cut out and left
stuck on the roof and a great hunk of
tar stuck to each hand, and got a repri-
mand when he reached the station. And
the house owner himself, blistered his
feet trying to melt the tar off of them by
holding them up to a hot stove, and
when the cats were cut loose from the
roof and put on the ground, they tried
to gnaw the tar from their claws and got
their paws stuck in their mouths and
rolled about and yawled and carried on
so that folks thought they were mad
and killed them. And that householderss
mother-in. law hasn't yet got over jaw
ing him about that tar roof.
