he had heard, and begging him to go
out to the Hall Immediately. Word was
brought back that the doctor had already
been sent for, and gone. This done, /
felt I hardly dared ask further questions
of any one just then. Yet the whole
thing seemed like horrid dream, hard
ly credible. We two sat up late into the
night in the little inn parlor-I absorbed
in the occurrence of this eventful even
ing, aud in painful anticipation of hear
ing more; A speaking not a word,
but glowering into the fire.
Next morning we were to make an
early start. Before the fall-in bugle
sounded the little bnstling landlady had
communicated to us all sorts of rumors
concerning the terrible event that had
taken place the night before. Clearly
the tragic story was all over the town by
this time, but the only coherent upshot
of the matter we could extract was that
the poor lady down at the Hall had gone
up to her bedroom Immediately after
dinner, and then and there taken poison
that they found her stretched on the
floor quite dead, the face turned to one
side, as 1t averted from something, and
with an awful, fearsome look upon it.
1t may be imagined [ was anything
but sorry when ] and my men mounted
the steep hill overlooking Moynetown,
on the road to our next billets, with our
backs turned upon the scene of this
CHASTITY and mysterious business.
[ never heard of the M family
again, nor did I ever revisit Moynetown.
[ believe there was an inquest and a
verdict of temporary insanity. A few
months afterward [ CHANGED to see some
thing in a local newspaper about Innish-
derry Hall being to let; and "that dread

talked of for a while in Dublin in a GER
tain circle of society. AS for A, be,
too, passed out of my observation very
soon after, as he applied for leave and
got an exchange. He never told me
more than what have told the reader
and never again spoke to me on the sub
ject.
l suppose some would maintain that
A was gifted with what in Scotland
is called " second sight" Be that as it
may, the mystery of how or why "the
devil stood behind that singularly beau
tiful and fascinating woman-an ac-
quaintance of an evening only-will, I
suspect, never be cleared up.

Dick Winship's Duel.
(From the San Francisco Post.

Speaking of Dick Winship recalls his
famous duel with the Frenchman at
Marseilles. Dick was then second lieu
tenant Of our Scorpion, stationed there at
the time, and as usual kept the whole
fleet and half the town on nettles
through his endless practical Jokes. The
slang expression for Frenchmen in those
days was "frog- eaters, and the wife of
a French captain of military having pre-
scented her lord with twins, Dick had the
nerve " to tender the happy father, at
a public banquet, stuffed group, con-
sisting of big frog holding on its knees
a couple of smaller ones. Of course
there was challenge, and when the
captains seconds appeared, Winship as
the challenged party, gravely insisted on
the duel being fought in the dark, with
pistols, one shot only being allowed to
each man. This new addition to the code
made terrible stir, but as Dick held
firm, the Frenchman was finally forced
to submit. On the appointed day, after
dinner, the principals were placed blind
folded and pistols in hand, in a room at
q hotel from which every particle of light
had been excluded. At given signal on
the closed door, the antagonists removed
their bandages to find themselves in alb
soIute darkness, listening to the beating
of their own hearts, and each afraid to
fire first, for fear of thus exposing his
location to the other. Dick quietly took
off his shoes, and feeling for the Chin
ney-in front of which he had taken care
to be placed--he crept up the hue, de-
scended through trap door IN the roof,
slipped into carriage and reJoined his
dinner party, which at once devoted it.
self to making night of it, in the high
est glee possible. The next morning
they returned to the hotel and opened
the room, which had been as silent as
the grave all night. Kneeling in his
corner, every muscle quivering with the
unbearable suspense, was the militia
captain, his auburn hair turned white by
the horrors of that interminabla night.

Bows in GERMANY.

Consul FlynH writes the Chicago News
from Chemnitz, Saxony, as follows:
Ii the German boys do not cut up the
pranks and perform the tricks of their
American cousins, they enjoy themselves
III way that is entirely satisfactory to
themselves. They nave, during tbesum-
mer months. In ali large towns and cities,
large swimming baths, constructed like
those in Chicago, where they flock in
large numbers IN the evening and on
Sundays. They can have all the fun of
this kind they want, including clean
towels and neat dressing-rooms, for
five American cents. Then gymnasiurns
and museums are well patronized. It is
rare thing to find Saxon youngster who
cannot perform on the horizontal bar, on
the rings, or OF the flying trapeze, feats
that would be creditable to profession
al athlete. The boys are generally well
developed, muscular and agile, ana good
health seems to take fancy to them.
In disposition they are as amlable as
girls-more amiable than some girls.
Their manners are pleasing. They are
polite and accommodating. They do not
swear, "chav " nor smoke. Fist fight
ing is not their liking, and vulgarity is
uuhHONA among IHoIu 1uoJ ire SotdLes
quiet, peaceabIe and good natured at all
times, while in the presence of their
elders they observe with astonishing pre-
cision and wonderful Judgment the laws
and regulations laid down for their guild
ance at home and In the schools.
The work which the small boy is called
upon to do in America is done here gen
orally by girls or full-grown men. All
dispatches are delivered by men in uni
form. There are no cash-boys, girls
generally filing such positions. Boys
are not called upon to run errands for
the public Able bodied men in uni
form, large enough to be trusted with
valuable packages, stand at every corner
and are ready to come at your beck or
call. The newspapers are carried and
sold by men. There are no newsboys.
No idle boys are seen in the street.
When they are not at school they are
learning a trade, and after business
hours they generally betake themselves
to some place where they can exercise
themselves, or they study their lessons
to be prepared for the early morning
class.
There are no street Arabs in any of
the German cities-no ragged urchlns,
no artful dodgers, and no "wipe.nip-
pers." There are no sooty-faced, bias
phemous bootblacks. In a word the
American small boy, of high or low de-
gree, would find his occupation gone,
whatever it might lie, If he emigrated to
Germany. He would pine away and die
of a broken heart.

A River of Hot Water.

The great Sutro tunnel, cut to relieve
the celebrated Comstock mines at Vir-
ginia City, New, Of the vast quantities
of hot water which is encountered in
them, affords an outlet 70 $4,000, 900
tons every twenty hours. Some of
the water, as it finds it's way into the
mines, has temperature Of 1875 degrees,
while four miles from the mouth OF the
tunnel the temperature ranges from $50
to 1876 degrees. To obvlate the incon-
venience which would arise from the
vapor such a vast quantity OF water
would give off, the flow is conducted
through the entire tunnel, four miles, In
a tight fume made of pine. At the
point of exit the water has lost but seven
degrees of heat. Sixty feet below the
mouth of the tunnel the hot water is
utilized for turning machinery belong
ing to the company, from whence it is
carried off by tunnel LOO feet in
length, which serves as a waterway.
Leaving the wasteway tunnel the water
flows to the Carson River, mile and a
half distant. This hot water is being
utilized for many purposes. The boys
have arranged several pools where they
indulge 4 hot baths. The miners and
others use it for laundry purposes and
arrangements are being made whereby
1000 acres belonging to the company
are being irrigated. 1t is proposed to
conduct the hot water through iron pipes
beneath the surface of the soil, near the
roots of thousands of fruit trees which
are to be planted and in q similar man
ner give the necessary warmth to num-
Der of lighthouses to beused for the prop
agation of early fruits and vegeta bles.

Trout Trapping in Colorado.

Those pot hunters who take trout from
Colorado streams resort to one Of two
agencies for that purpose: the trout trap
and giant powder. When the latter is
used, "a small stick of the explosive. with
lighted fuse, is thrown into the water.
It sinks and explodes stunning great
numbers of fine trout. The aggregate
weight of the fish that rise to the surface
after one explosion has been as great as
two hundred pounds. When fishermen
are detected in such understandable
operation they are fined $50 and cost.

OF the anchored water-lily, thing divine,
Unfolding its dazzling snow to the kiss OF morn.
Think Of the delicate perfumes borne on the gale,
OF the golden willow catkin's odor OF spring,
OF the breath of the rich narcissus waxen-pale,
Of the sweet peas fight of flowers, OF the nettles

Strange that this Hfeless thing gives vine flower,

RAIL ROADS AND GROWTH OF CITIES.

People who growl and grumble when
a new railroad is proposed, for fear the
projectors will lose money" eyenthough
it comes not out of the pockets OF the
GROWERS, and who fight an enterprise
worth millions of dollars per year, be-
cause it may delay some mans buggy a
few moments, will do well to ponder on
the following table taken from Brad
streets, showing the growth of cities,
especially inland, since railroads made
it possible to export commodities upon
which town dwellers could work and
subsist. Not only has transportation
made such large cities possible, but II
has made famine impossible, save by
q failure of crops in the greater part OF
the civilized worth at one time. The
railroad has become the most potent
factor in the civilization of the world,
and even the Apache will not long be
able to resist its advance. He must
either reform or vanish from the earth.
People began to crowd into cities III the
sixteenth century, but 1t was only III
seaport townsor on large rivers, and the
inhabitants of the interior were forced
to trade in the most limited and priml-
tive way, and while the country, for
want Of market, languished, people
were forced to do without what
were then deemed luXuries, but
are now regarded as necesSarles
of life. Notwithstanding some
good people lament the apparent de-
cadence of morals in large cities, yet,
upon the whole, it is more than Proba,
bic all the attendant accumulation OF
vice is more than counterbalanced by
the good resulting from the close COM
munion of the towns. People living
isolated have stronger prejudices i'll ia
vor of bad laws, if covered with the
hoar of antiquity, than people in towns,
whose FEELINGS are daily stirred by the
spectacle of the injury wrought by such
laws, and nearly all the really great re.
forms of the past century and hall
were stirred in cities. During the last
half century the population in the prin-
cipal cities of Europe has increased more
than in the five centuries preceding.
The following statistics show it:
