Clergyman asked, with q tremor Of emo
tion in his voice, MS he took the sick
woman's hand in his own. A shade of
patient thought crossed the invalid's
face, and by-and-by she said she didn't
hardly believe she was; there was the

been touched, and she did want TO put

Monday she would be about as near

TRISTAN D'ACUNHA is the name Of a
small group of islands lying midway be-
tween South America and the African
coast. Two years ago the ship Mabel
Clark was wrecked on one of these is
lands, and the crew kindly rescued by
the islanders, for which noble conduct
they received suitable reward from the
United States government. These island
ders are estimated at 100 in number,
mostly defendants Of one Hayes, an En-.
glish corporal, and one of garrison
placed there by great Britain while Ma
poleon was prisoner at st. Helena. There
have been but four deaths in thirteen
years, says the Foreign Missionary, and
no death in infancy has ever been known
on the island, even though ne vermifuge
or soothing syrup was ever known TO
those mothers and nurses. The creates
want felt there Is that of missionary o.
some clergyman, whose services are mucf
desired, and for whom not a few would
be brides and bridegrooms are anxiously
waiting. ... ........ ~...-

IT is reported from Hartford, Conn,
that gentleman of that city has near
ly completed carriage for use on Or
dinary roads, to be propelled solely by
compressed air. The shafts of course,
are omitted, but otherwise the carriage
will resemble those commonly used.
The machinery, in a very compact form,
is under the rear of the axle, and the air
will be taken into it from reservoir in
sufficient quantity to furnish motive

A COIN is III itself a history. There
was once lost city which owes its place
to COM. For over Thousand years no
one knew where Pandosa was. History
told us that at Pandosa King Pyrrhus
collected those forces with which he over
ran Italy, but no one could, put their
finger on Pandosa. Eight years ago q
coin came under the sharp eyes of a num-
ismatist. There were the letters Pan
dosa inscribed on 1t, but what was bet
ter, there was an emblem, indicative of
well known river. the Crathis. Then
everything was revealed with the same
certainty as If the piece of money had
been an atlas, and Pandosa, the myth
cal city, was at once given its proper
position in Bruttium. This silver coin,
which did not weigh more than quar-
ter of dollar, because it cleared up the
mystery of Pandosa, was worth to the
British Museum $1,000, the price they
paid.

Fruit in Washingt0n.


The arrivals of peaches, grapes, waternelons
and cantaleups In our city have been quite large
during the past week. The peach crop In this
section has been regarded as failure. but for
few days past our markets have been pientt-
fully stocked, ana the prices comparatively low
The prices ranged to-day at 80 cents to 81 50 per
box. Most Of the peaches which supply our
markets are brought in by country wagons;
some come up Oh river steamers and occasion.
ally large quantities come over the railroad
from Baltimore where there Is a glut In that
city, as has been the case for the last few DAYS
The crop Is generally short, and not OF a good
quality. Very few OF the country people I'M
deIstand the best manner OF putting the fruit
into market. For instance peaches are not
sorted with reference TO size nor varieties: but
are mixed, the bad with The good: hard and soft
cling and free stones; white, red and yellow
all together, thus keeping the price to
fixed standard, instead of a graded one
Grapes are beginning to be plentiful and prices
low, large proportion OF them selling for 50
per hundred weight, which hardly pays for
their cultivation and marketing. Many are
SOLD at these low figures for wine making. and
II Is said paying business is made OF it. The
prospect is that There Will be an abu nd lnce OF
this fruit. CantalOupS are plentiful and cheap.
