New York is more puzzled TO know what
shall be done with its dead than with the liv-
ing. Neighboring cemeteries are so full that
funerals by rail are probability of the near
future.
-Krupp, the great cannon king" of Ger

hardy, and a very valuable game and food

Some idea of the tremendous power of
the waves of the Atlantic in storm may be
gained from letter which the constructor OF
the Calf Rock lighthouse on the coast of Ire
land, recently destroyed in a storm, sends to
the London Times He states that the rock
is from sixty to ninety feet high, and the
tower ninety feet above that, and yet the fury
of the storms on the coast was at times so
great that the waves in passing over the rock
hid the top of the tower for some two minutes
at a time.
The activity displayed in the building OF
railroads in the far West Is one OF the most
remarkable features of the present era of ma
tional prosperity. In a short time there will be
five through routes to the Pacific, where a few
months ago there was only one. These will
be the Northern Pacific Railroad, the Union
Pacific, with its extension now building 10
Baker City, Oregon, the Central Pacific, with
new Eastern outlet by way of the Atehison,
Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad, the Atlantic
and Pacific, now pushing rapidly westward
and the Texas and Southern Pacific, already

NO. 50.

"She said she wanted you 10 marry sailor"
said the young man, dejectedly.
"Only because there would be a chance of
his getting drowned. And she'll never lei nia
marry g0u-that is certain. II you didn't
know any better than TO bring such news
here, you might have asked some one who
did. Now you had better go and take of
those fxings, that make you look perfectly
horrid, and never come here any more" And
Ann Olive hounced out of the room, with
signs of approaching Mysteries. while the sail
or skunk out, miserable and detected beyond
expression. But as he meditated, a ray of
hope lightened his gloom. The sailors loss
might be Obed Welcomes gain.
On the next day and on several days there
after, Obed was missed from his accustomed
place in the store. He had gone to Northport
Hnrbor, and afterward to Boston, ION bust
ness" The nature Of that business was only
revealed when, week after his appearance
there in the disguise of a sailor, he boldly
called at the widow Prosser's.
The widow had shut herself up on the plea
OF illness, denying herself to all visitors; but
it was absolutely necessary that she should
play propriety, since Obed Welcome had had
the audacity to call ON Ann Olive.
Obed plunged at once into the matter at
hand. 81 suppose you heard that about the
Sunbeam p he said. 'There was a sailor
round here telling about it, l made inquiries
in Boston, snd-and-and I'm sorry to tell
you (that stuck in honest Obed's throat, but
he remembered that all was fair in love and
war, and forced 1t out)-'Im sorry TO tell
you, but it isn't the Sunbeam that Captain
Prosser sailed in. It's another vessel alto
gether-sailed from Baltimore. And she
hadn't been out but about twenty. eight days,
so don't know how they ever came to think
twas the old SUNBEAM" {"
The widow Prosser arose TO leave the room,
too much agitated to stay. But on the thresh-
old she turned.
81 never had any personal objection TO you,
Obed," she said. "I've always found you a
particularly agreeable young man. And there
are some uncomfortable things about marry
ing sailor So if Ann Olive has mind to
marry you, don't know but I'm willin'."
