BAFFLED CURIOSITY.
(Harper's Magazine.)

Miss J was on her way South
to spend the winter with some rela
tives. Her frienda Mr. and Mrs. H
were her travelling companions
as far as Goldsborough. where they
separated, Miss J. having about
a hundred miles more of railroading
to GO alone, as telegram received
at Goldsborough stated that her ex~
pected escort could not meet her
there. As usual, the passengers
were few, and Miss ! was the
only lady on the train.
The conductor was native of the
town to which Miss j - was tick
eted, and was very anxious to find
out who his fair passenger wac. His
rather officious offer to assist her in
finding her friends when she should
reach her destination were rather
coldly refused. He finally got des-
perate, and appealed to an ancient
gentleman 10 the car IA friend of his)
to assist him. Presently the old
gentleman crossed the car, took a
seat Immediately behind our fair
traveller and addressing her very pc
litely, said: "My friend Captain
P is very anxious to know who
you are 7"
Looking up from the pages of her
novel Miss = said "You didn't
tell him, did you ?"
He was SO thoroughly taken aback
that it was some moments before he
recovered himself to stammer. N no
THANK you" said Miss J.
gratefully, and cody resumed her
reading.

tired to the smoking car, and our
fair traveller was annoyed no more

THE WRECKED MBR.

The steamer City of Vera Cruz
which sailed from New York for Ha-
vana, and was wrecked near st. Au>
gustine, Fla, by a hurricane, lost
many lives aid much freight. The
pilots of St. Augustine, of which
there are FIVE, we're the first that dis
covered that the wreck had occur>
red, and, what was of more conse,
quance to them, the vast amount of
freight already beached and more
coming. They at once formed them,
selves into a joint stock company for
the time and went for that freight
with a vim on August 30th and 3lst.
They kept the matter of the wreck
profound secret, and it was Sc
cret well kept, for it was not until
the night of the 3lst of August that
the news reached the city. 10 the
meantime our industrious pilots had
worked both day and night like
beavers, having entire possession of
both beach and cargo. They man
aged to have many goodly piles
stored up at different points of the
beach worth thousands of dollars
Several trunks belonging to the ILL
fsted passengers came ashore in
good order, only to be broken open
and riAed. One evidently belonged
to lady of wealth, for it was filled
with costly silk dresses and clothing
of the finest order, and laces worth
many a dollar. A gold watch and
chain, also two valuable bracelets,
were fouod in dis trunk. In anoth
err trunk larR9 pocket book we'll
filled with bills vas found by these
fortunate pilots 10 fact, they had a
bonanza, and they worked it for all
it was worth, having gold watches,
diamonds, we'll filled wallets, elabor-
ate clothing and many tons of valua-
BILE freight as their reward. Indeed
the latter was in such vast proper
tions that teams we're employed for
several days in hauling their find,
and large lighters were filled with
the produce. As before stated, the
secret was faithfully kept Monday
and Tuesday, but when the matter
leaked out late on Tuesday night
the whole city was alive with excite"
ment. Everybody that had a boat
or could borrow one or press one in-
to service HE'D away to the beach,
nor was this wrecking fever confn
ed ito the Minorcan or negro, but
business men and clerks for the time
turned wreckers, and the beach was
throngod with anxious hunters for
the cast>up treasures of the sea-
Several bodies were washed ashore,
and, after being inspected and plum
dered, they were buried in the sand
on the beach. The corpse of a
young lady came ashore on whose
person was a dress of rich silk, and
Gu her finger was a valuable solitaire
diamond ring. She was also buried
on the beach, after being rihed of
her valuables.

A girl was found nailed to a plank

A girl was found nailed to plank
so that she could move neither hands
nor feet, and floating on the Yangtse
River, in China. Beside her was
the head of a Buddhist priest, and
some coins. An inscription said ::
This money is provided for her cot
fin when she is dead She belonged
to wealthy family, and two broth
ers, petty mandarins, used this cruel
treatment because she married the
priest whose head was on the plank
with her.
