Here my visitor ceased speaking, and

he must have conveyed my suspicion,

A Sea Yarn.

A remarkable story of sea life is told
by O Newfoundland correspondent OF
the Toronto Globe. The writer was
standing with some friends on cliff be.
tween Placentia and st. Mary's Bays.
There was no breeze and the sea was
quiet. Within few minutes the sur
face of the water became alive with
myriads of cod and lesser fish and while
the members of the party were endery-
oring to find an explanation of the old
occurrence whale came up near the
cliff. The huge fellows jaws were
agape and spouting a column of spray
like geyser. Something was the mat
ter with him. He evidently was trying
to get away and his struggles had fright.
ened the smaller creatures round about.
AS the whale drew near the shore the
men saw the fins and formidable weapon
of a large sword-fish and moment later
q thrasher, or fox-shark, fastened him.
self upon the monsters back. The
sword-fish was piercing the whale be-
low, driving him to the surface, and
the thrasher was giving it to him from
above, seeking to drive him below.
When the thrasher struck his huge an
tagonist the sound was dull thud, and
when, missing his aim, he hit the water,
the sharp crack was heard for half
mile. The waves were beaten into foam,
the whale trying to ply his tail upon his
enemies, but before he could get his
ungainly body into position they were
out of harms way and making a new
attack upon an unexpected quarter.
The contest continued so long that at
the point of battle the sea was colored
with blood, but the whale escaped
finally and the last seen of him he was
blowing in triumph five miles off the
coast. Many fishing crews rowed to
the scene of the action and were ex-
cited witnesses of what they declared to
be the most unique spectacle of their
adventurous lives.

she wore several wraps, but getting
warm IN the carriage, she presently
threw aside fur cloak she was wear
ing, and my eye was instantly attract
ed by handsome brooch she had on,
IN which was portrait.
Without appearing to do so, and
with sudden feeling of interest and
curiosity for which / cannot account, 1
managed to get q nearer view of the
portrait. 1t was the face of the young
man who had travelled with me the year
before when had lost my bag. was
SO certain of this that I resolved not
to continue my journey until [ had ac-
quainted the police with this fact.
The train stopped at Crewe, the
place where the young man had left the
train on our up journey the previous
year. Here the lady alighted-I did
also. A carriage awaited her at the
station. l secured a fly, and directing
the driver to follow the carriage, I dis
covered where the lady drove to. Her
own house evidently. She appeared to
be in an excellent position, and to be
wealthy.
I was not deferred by this discovery,
for l felt could not be mistaken about
face which, though I had certainly
noticed it only in a casual way at the
time, had nevertheless been stamped
upon my mind, and connected in such a
manner with the loss to me of several
| thousands of pounds.
went to the police station, told them
what had seen and what my suspicious
were. They listened attentively to
what I said, and then told me that I
must be mistaken that the lady in
question was well known, the widow
of an officer who had died just after
coming into q large property in the
county. She had two sons. One had
been in the navy, and had lost his life
in the wreck of the Royal Charter about
year previously. The other was ex-
pected home every day, and had been
away almost ever since the end of last
October.
1t was impossible, they said, to make
inquiries in such direction. Ill-satis-
fed and disappointed, found myself
compelled to leave matters as they
were but on my return to London I
wrote to the head of the police once
more, and reiterated my convictions so
forcibly that he evidently was i'm
pressed by what I said. The result of
my letter came, after brief acknowl-
edgement from the inspector, in the
visit of a gentleman four days after
ward.

MY LITTLE BOY THAT DIED.

Look on his pretty face for just one minute,
His braided frock, his dainty buttoned shoes,
His firm-shut hand, the favorite plaything in
it.
And tell me, mothers, vast not hard to lose
And miss him from my side
My little boy that died?
How many another boy as dear and charming,
HIS fathers hope, his mothers one delight,
Slips through strange sicknesses, all fear dis
arming,
And lives long, long life in parents sight
Mine was so short pride
And then my poor boy died.
I see him rocking on his wooden charger;
hear him paitering through the house all
day;
watch his great blue eyes grow large and
larger,
Listening TO stories, whether grave or gay,
Told at the bright flreside-
So dark now, since he died.
But yet 1 often think my boy is living,
As living as my other children are.
When goodnight kisses all round am giving,
/ keep one for him, though he is SO far,
Can mere grave dividei
Me from him, though he died?
So, while come and plant it oer with daisies,
(Nothing but childish daisies, all year round).
Constantly Gods hand the curtain raises,
And / can hear his merry voices sound
And feel him at my side
Ny little boy that died.

Cross-examination-Q When did this
conversation take place? A. | think it
was about the 10Th or 18th of March.
Mrs. Frances Scoville, sister to the
prisoner, and wife to his counsel, gave
her age as forty-fve. She said the pris-
oner is forty years old. He was about
seven years old when her mother died.
Her first recollection of Charles was
that he was troublesome child because
he was very active and smart. He was
sent to school when quite young-about
six years old. His father punished him
because he could not learn to talk, but
that made no difference. After his
mothers death he lived for year or so
with his grandfather, and then came
back to his father. Charles, when he
was twelve years old, lived with witness
for year in Chicago, where he went
to school. She recollected nothing Pc
culiar about him then except that he
was very affectionate and she was very
much attached to him. Then he went
to his father, and subsequently, when
he was seventeen years old, he came
again to live with witness, near Chi
cago. He attended school at the Com
mercial College, Chicago, and after that
he went back to Freeport, and from
there he went to Ann Arbor to at
tend school. She went to Ann Arbor
to see him, as she had been
informed that he was going on worse than
her father had ever done. She found
that he had abandoned his studies and
was giving his whole time and attention
to studying the publications of the
Oneida Community. She argued with
him for whole evening, appealing to
him to go on quietly like other young
men and to give up all that stuff. Her
appeals had no effect upon him, how
ever. and she made up her mind that he
was crazy. She told her uncle, who
lived at Ann Arbor, to pay no more at
tention to him, but let him go his own
way, as he was "clear gone daft" She
afterward visited him at the Oneida
Community, but could hardly have
any conversation with him as they were
not left alone moment together. She
noticed that he acted like a person who
had been bewildered, struck on the
head, or had partly lost his mind. She
could not learn from him whether he
wanted to leave the Oneida Community
or to stay there.
Guiteau's sister, Guiteau's brother,
and Guiteau himself were on the wit
ness stand in the trial Monday.
John W. Guiteau said that for years
he has not been on good terms With the
assassin, and he once struck his brother
and drove him from his Office. Guiteau
interrupted the witness to deny that
any blow had been struck.
Contrary Ito what Mr.. Scoville has
been trying to prove, however, the
witness asserted that his father was
not insane.
Several other witnesses testified con-
cerning incidents in Guiteau's life, and
gave their opinions of his sanity. One
said Guiteau was either fool or crazy;
another thought that his mind was
cracked. Fernando Jones of Chicago,
who had been one of the trustees of an
insane asylum, testified that Guiteau's
mind was unsound when he knew him
in 1878.
Guiteau himself was sworn as wit
ness Just before the court adjourned,
but all he did was to identify lot of
letters that he had written.

Girls and Spending Money.

Many girl is careless as to how much
money a young man spends for her.
Three and five dollars for a horse and
carriage he can poorly afford, perhaps;
yet she will go with him week after
week with no particular interest in him,
unmindful, apparently, whether he
earns the money or takes it from his
employers drawer. He makes her ex-
pensive presents. He takes her to a
concert, in going to which usually, save
for her pride and his gallantry, horse
car ride for ten cents would be fan
wiser than q carriage ride for several
dollars. A young man respects young
woman all the more who is careful OF
the way in which he spends his money,
and Will not permit too much to be
used for herself. A thoughtful and
well-bred girl will be wise about these
matters. - Woman's Journal.

What He Meant.

DR.. Gray, of the Interior, came home
from the Alps last month, picked up a
new volume of sermons by DIR. Lorimer,
and lighted on this soaring paragraph:
'Oceans roll and impetuously drive
their landward waves, and, dashing
surgeful waters against natures rugged
barriers, threaten to submerge the earth.
But all in vain their stormful rage and
mad ambition. Ragged, jagged rocks
intercept the lawless pillows and proudly
disperse their strength in irridescent
pray"
And then Brother Gray puts his Al
pine condenser on this rhetorical foam
thus: "The Doctor means to say that
Aater does not run up hill very far"
