The Isle of Man.

There is patch on the Irish sea
called the Isle of Man. On Il sunny
day the highlands of Ulster. in Ireland.
and of Galloway, in Scotland, are visi-
bic from its western shore, and from
the summit of Snaefell mountain,
England. is seen fretting in the golden
haze across the sea. Small as this
island is, it has Il government of its
own, and a thrilling and eventful his
tory. Hawthorne found it out while
he was consul at Liverpool, and has
praised it iii his English Note Book
Scott gathered material for "Pevesil of
the Peak" from its romantic scenery
and legends, and Wordsworth com
memorated Il visit to it il Il sonnet.
In it, greatest length the island
measures about thirty-three miles, and
in its greatest breadth about thirteen.
In circumference it is seventv-fve
miles, excluding the sinuosities of the
bays; and it contains IL superficial area
of about one hundred and thirty thou
sand acres, or two hundred and three
square miles. Enjoying the benefits of
the Gulf stream, the climate is singu-
larry mild and genial, and there are few
other places in the world where the
difference between summer and winter
is SO slight. As to the healthfulness Of
the climate, you would find proof in
the native girls-rosy checked, active
and gleeful and the men are as stall
Tart, masculine and handsome a race
rs breathe sea air.
Most of the coast is rocky and wild,
hnar with tho Of fhn f,,rkI,1n,of
sea that surrounds it, and indented
with capacious harbors and innumer-
able creeks /; but in the north the land
sinks into low pasturage. and meets
the water on the glistening pebbles of
a smooth beach. The interior includes
nearly every kind of natural scenery
heather-clad, balsamic hills, plains
richly cultivated, wide reaches of
prickly gorse as drear as Yorkshire
moors, and the prettiest of cascades.
The enchantment of northern land
dwells in its subdued light and on its
mist-crowned heights.
Sleepy villages are perched on the
cliffs where once the beacon-fres of the
wreckers allured many q goodly ship
to her doom. In the bays where the
pirates hid themselves of old, fly the
white sails of pleasure boats The
present invaders are not Romans,
Picts, nor Scandinavians, but aggres-
sive tourists, bearing knapsacks instead
of eagles and walking sticks instead of
javelins. These confront you in nearly
every part of the island and the prim-
tive character of the natives is fast
changing under the influence of the
town manners which the visitors bring
with them Many of the supersti-
tons have been laughed away, but
there are not a few honest folks who
yet have steadfast faith in mermaids
and fairies.

The Bridegroom in the Most Recent Ro-

advertiser came in person to Richmond

Marvin, wealthy widower from the

with the beautiful character given of
the young lady that he had come on at

How Disturbances are Created by Care
less People in Stores.

From the London Canada Free Press.
1t IS matter of almost daily occur
renee in the city stores to have little
excitement caused by some lady Gus
toner suddenly discovering that she
has lost her purse. A bill of goods has
been purchased, the lady eonfdentially
reaches for her purse, elevatss her eve
orowS, draws Il quick breath, and an
nounces that it is not there. Then she
remembers having laid it on the count
er-posltlye about it-and can point to
the exact spot. She ewes everybodv
with suspicion. and the clerks hustle
around, turn over goods and parcels,
search IN the most unlikely places, and
give up IN diSpair. Then the flushed
and Illustrated customer suddenly recol-
leets that she left it lying on the corner
OF the piano at home, or in the next
store, while she was telling Mrs. Snider
how nice her new rag carpet looked
The other day dry goods clerk of long
standing, IN speaking to a Free Press re
porter about their troubles, gave an in
tereshng incident in connection with
purse losing, which happened directly
under his notice In this city. In Dun
das street dry goods store three ladies
were purchasing goods side by side.
One OF them hung her umbrella by the
handle on the edge of the counter and
went TO another part of the establish
ment. One of those who still remain
ed laid her purse on the counter, and
while making her purchases it was ac-
cldentally showed into the folds of the
upturned umbrella. When the clerk
tore of his oh oal- ~ l. 4 a.
for her pocket-book it was gone. She
had just laid it on the counter, and, of
course, the lady who had stood beside
her must have taken it. Nothing could
be clearer. In the excitement which
followed, the aforementioned lady took
possession of her umbrella and walked
out of the store, totally ignorant of what
was within it. A policeman was called
and amid much Indignation and grief
on one side and clustering on the other

stairs and searched Of course the
purse was not found, and she was allow
ed to go. Now for the sensational part
of the story. The umbrella was taken

taken home and laid away. A few DAYS
later the house was burned down. but
the umbrella among other things, was
saved. A few days passed. and then
one day 1t was hoisted and out fell the
missing purse. The lady remembered
the incident in the store. and on her
next visit to the city brought back the
money and had it restored to the own
er. In the period which interviewed,
the woman who had been wrongfully
accused visited the store daily for the
purpose Of ascertaining whether any
thing had turned up to prove her limo
cence. The story is vouched for on
the best Of authority, and is literally
true.
