PERHAPS, BUT L GUESS NOT.

The Secretary Of the Lime-Kiln Club
announced O communication from Oba-
dlah Glassfoot, of New York, saying that
he was an enthusiast on the subject of
discovering the North pole, and adding
that he would be perfectly willing to
take command of anexpedition fitted out
by the colored race of America for such
purpose. He argued that the black
man had never yet done anything to en-
grave his name on the scrolls of fame.
and that this golden opportunity should
not be permitted to slip away.
Immediately upon the reading of the
letter Paramount Baxter arose and
offered resolution to the effect that the
Llme-Kiln Club at once appoint com
mittee of three, with power to send for
persons and papers, to discover the
North pole. The resolution was Sec
onded by thirty voices, and there was O
slight crook to the end of the Presidents
nose as he arose and said:
"Doan' some O you want a commit

ty-seven minutes to do thirty -four miles

I had shut the water off from both nv
pumps little distance back, when dis
covered what was the matter, and she
was now making steam finely down
slight grade. From less than 100, with
which we started over that ten-mile
stretch, she had 200 pounds before we
finished it; and, as the gauge indicated
no higher than that, and the valve was
tied down, could not tell how much
over 200 pounds she carried, but she Ger
talnly carried none less the rest of the
journey. And we'll might she carry
such an enormous head of steam, for, af
ter passing over that ten miles in eight
minutes, there lay ten miles of five-feet
upgrade, and fourteen miles of twenty
feet-to-the-mile depression between us
and G., and it was now thirteen min-
utes to II o'clock.
Now the engine was hot in earnest.
The furnace door, smoke arch and Chin
ney all were red while she seemed to
fly onward as if the very Evil One him
self operated her machinery.
| Six minutes carried us over that ten
miles; and we darted by the last station
that had lain between us and c..
Now we had fourteen miles to 60 and my
time showed fifty-three minutes past II
o'clock.
"H live." said I to myself, CT will
make it." And we plunged down that
twenty-foot grade with all steam on.
Persons who saw the train on that wild
run said it was so soon after they heard
the first sound of her approach, when
the strange object, which looked as if it
was q flame of fire, darted by, and then
the sound of the travelling died away in
the distance, that they could hardly
convince themselves they had really
seen anything. 1t seemed more like a
creature of wild dream than o sober
reality.
And now let mo tell you that no ell
gine ever beat the time we made on those
fourteen miles. Those great wheels,
seven feet in diameter, spun around Sc
swift that you couldn't begin to count
the evolutions. The engine barely
seemed to touch the track as she few
along and, although the track was as
true as it was possible for it to be, she
swayed fearfully, and sometimes made
such prodigious jolts that it required
considerable skill for one to keep his
feet. No engine could hold together if
crowded to greater speed.
Well, just as came to standstill in
the depot at C. the big clock doomed
out u, and the steamboat was getting her
steam on. Roberts got on board in time
and nothing to spare. But he saved the
money. he found it hid away in some
old boxes as Aldrich had directed him.

BAT shooting isa peculiar feature OF
California sport. In recent contest on
scott's ran4fl, at American River bridge.
there wera several matches, and finally
one for the championship cup, in which
Jackson defeated the previous bat cham
pion, Ruhatailer, by one bat-the score
standing Ruhstaller, IA bats jackson.

be unusualis IsSly, and, Tying like
iaoasz:sos. s'atn zsssss turn and twist,
caused the men ct the trap to miss fre-
quently.' Bet shooting, accordingly,
seems rather more like sport than butt
shooting, in which the marksnaan, lying
ON his back, with his head on his arm,
and his rifle poised on his toes, and with
careful sights, eims for some minutes at
fixed target, and then at last touches
the trigger. The California jackson,
who won the cup at bat shooting, is GER
tainly worthy to be named with the
Massachusetts jackson who achieved
the top score in Hydes team ct Wia-
bledon.

The District Duel.

Washington, Aug. 14.-An evening paper
states aulhoritatively that the duel already
mentioned in the,e dispatches was fought
near this city, but by parties who did not
belong here, and who came here for the pur-
nose, and left here as mysteriously as they
came, without leaving any clue which would
lead TO their Identification. Officers are still
at work endeavoring to discover the parties,
but SO far have been unsuccessful. The the
ory is advanced that the parties may be gov
ernment clerks away on leave, thus, in
measure, corroborating the story published
bv the Washington Post. AT all events, an
Investigation is being conducted in quiet

of Securing clue to the parties.
