Son Of An African King.

Among the citizens of this republic
there is at least one undoubted son Of
royalty, says the New York T,iJ3ne,
in the person of the Rev. William j.
Barnet, pastor of the Shiloh (colored)
Baptist church, WilliamspOrt, Penn.
He is the son of once powerful Afri-
can king, Dumba by name. He early
came to the conclusion that a trusty
trade is "A valuable adjunct even to roy
atty, 50 he became river and coast
pilot at Sierra Leone, and while thus
engaged was converted 30 Christianity
and was baptized in the Atlantic
ocean. Then he was kidnapped, and
was being brought to New Orleans as
a slave when he contrived to escape at
Liverpool. From there he went to
California, and then back to Liverpool.
On his second visit to England Lord
Carney became interested in him and
had him well educated. In 1862 he
visited New York and Philadelphia,
and was sent to Sierra Leone as a Bap-
tist missionary. Returning to this
country after a year he became pastor
successively of churches in Brooklyn,
Newport and New Haven. After the
war he went to Richmond, and found
ed a strong church on Navy Hill, the
site of the old slave market. After
that he preached at Greenbrier, White
Sulphur Springs, Lexington, Staunton,
Charlottesville, Gordonsyille, North
Danville and Louisa Court House, In
all these Virginian towns he built up
strong and prosperous churches. He
has been. in Williamsport three years,
and has enjoyed remarkable success.
He is now only forty-three years of

The Phantom Ship.

The anchors weighed, the harbor past,
Away! away! the ship flies fast
The shippers vile is at his sidc,
In fear she scans the darkening tide.
"Fear not" quoth he; "thou'rt safe with me
Though the fend himself should sail the sea!
And merrily ho! the breezes blow,
Over the sea the ship doth go.
The sea grew black, the wind blew high;
"a ship A shipl" the sailors cry;
Down sank the blood-red sun in flame,
But nearer still the vessel came,
She had no sails, no oars, no crew.
But nearer, nearer still she flew.
One lone, dark man on deck they see,
They can hear him laughing mockingly.
The skipper stood with frozen stare,
His men were white with wild despair;
The tempest shrieked, the sea was flame,
And nearer still the strange ship came.
Down knelt the skippers vile and prayed,
"God of the sailors, send us aid"
Each stony sailor bent his knee:
"save us, o Lord! we cry 10 Thee'
Hurah! Hurrah the spell is done!
The phantom ship is gone, is gone!
The winds are fair, and fair the tide;
The skipper's wife is at his side.
He holds her hand, he cannot speak,
tear rolls down his rugged cheek;
And merrily ho! The breezcs blow,
Over the sea the ship doth go.

A Gigantic Enterprise.

The East and West India Docks
company of London has boldly en-
barked in a gigantic enterprise, for
which some commercial prophets pre-
dict a failure This il the construc-
tion of docks at Tilbury, on the
Thames, opposite Gravesend, of such
magnitude that the Globe says: "On
the whole, this dock extension
promises to be the most remarkable that
even London has ever witnessed, and
will leave all other ports in the world
far behind" They will have tidal
basin with depth OF forty-three feet,
and the largest vessels afloat will go
in and out without regard to the tide.
The contracts call for four dry docks
with total length of 1880 feet, float
ing derrick with lifting capacity of
100 tons, special wharves and abbatOirs
for the cattle traffic, $4,000 lineal feet
of quay berths, from forty to fifty
miles of permanent railroad tracks
and a large hotel for the accommoda-
tion of passengers. "Tilbury is GER
tainly at considerable distance from
London" says the Globe, "bdt with
the railway facilities to be organized, a
few miles more or less will really be a
matter of no great Importance, while
il is undeniable that, with the huge

"A detective recently said to a New
York reporter: "a man hired to shad-
ow a party or a shadow, as we call
him, gets about - day and expenses,
and is paid for the time he works. A
shadow is expected to watch a man
from the time he gets up in the morn
ing till he goes to bed, If it happens
that a party must be Swallowed night
and day it requires two men to watch
him. \ shadow must watch his man
closely without himself being seen o
allowing the party to find out that he
is being shadOwed. meet the shad-
ow, for instance, and tell him that he
must keep his eyes on a certain man
whom designate by brushing on the
shoulder with my handkerchief. Then
| enter a place. and as the man comes
out pretend to see a bug on his shoul-
der and brush it off. Then | 90 away,
knowing that until l give the word
that man will never be ont of the sight
of my shadow. The shadow takes
him to dinner and back to his place Of
business. Then to his supper, and
then down town in the evening. Then
it is that his hardest work begins. He
may have to suddenly hire hack at Il
big expense and follow the man out on
carOusing expedition. He finally
takes him home at night, secures a
cover and catches a little sleep himself.
The securing of a cover is sometimes
the most difficult part of the work, for
your man may live in an aristocratic
locality where there are no rooms for
rent. | have known our man Boland
to sleep night after night in a Goa
bunk on the street when it was nip
ping cold. There are in New York
certain banks and large corporations
that every year along about the hol-
days have each of their men shadowed
about a week. At the end of a week
a full report of the mans habits,
haunts, style of living, and even of
his weeks expenses, is given to his
employer"

Late yesterday afternoon, while profession

outer office, adjoining the operating room.
He stepped out to see what 1t was. The
room was naturally dark and he could only
get an indistinct view Of her.
She was young woman, with light hair.
He could not see how she WIS dressed, for
she had on waterproof CLOAK,
though it was not raining at the time. She
had bundle under her arm. He mistook
her for book agent, and when she asked
il she could speak to him for few
moments on business, he replied that he
was engaged and that he was about to go to
his supper. With that she left the office,
turning at the door and saying she fell
