locking the door and placing the key in
his pocket, his new friends taking their
departure, and Mr.. Dupin adjourned to
Jean Baptist's bar-room, near by, to
get drink. 1t was about nine o'clock
when he entered the saloon, and soon
he was in conversation with the bar.
keeper, telling him the events of the
day. Tho bar-keeper advised him to go
back to his room, as something might
happen to his money, and Mr.. Dupin
followed his advice, only to find that
the door was still securely locked. He
went back to the bar-room, had a laugh
at the bar-keeper, took another drink.
and at $3.50 o'clock went home. Once
alone ha did not feel SO brave !;
visions of thieves and burglars
haunted his brain, and, driven al
most crazy by the responsibility
of having 1000. 600 francs in charge. he
went outside, purchased lot of candles
and sat up all night. The hours passed
slowly but daylight came at last, the
market-carts ratified through the streets,
and the city awoke. Ten o'clock, the
hour at which his new-found friends
were to come for their treasure, arrived,
but they failed to put in an appearance.
A half-hour passed slowly and still they
came not. Mr.. Dupin grew suspicious
and broke open the trunk. There was
No. 2's bundle of bills Just as they
had been left the night before. With
trembling fingers he unrolled the S2
United States note which enveloped the
package and found that it was but
bundle of worthless paper. His money.
of course, was gone. the strangers hav-
ing distracted it when the bundle of pa
pers was deposited in the trunk.
MIR. Dupin says his money consisted
of twelve 1,009-mark notes and seven
1,O00-franc notes, representing about
SIS, 900 in United States currency. He
describes the confdence-men as follows:
No. l, five feet ten inches high, black
mustache, large forehead, large nose,
dark eyes. black stiff hat, gray pants
and black coat; he appeared to be about
forty years of age, and is French. No.
2, beard just growing, small mustache,
blue eyes and brown hair; he is also
French, and is about thirty-ive years
of age, and wears dark clothing
The police investigated the case, but
have so far failed to find clue or
which to work; hence it is hardly
probable that the sharpers will ever be

Opening Royal Vaults.

Il happened to Dean Stanley, for var
ious necessary reasons. to be obliged to
open several of the royal vaults al
ways, of course, for adequate causes and
with royal permission. Thus it was de-
sirable to open the tomb of Richard H..
for indispensa. lie repairs. The common
story about his death relates that his
skull was cleft from behind by blow
from the battlesaAe of Sir P.ers Exton il
the dungeon OF Pontefract Castle.
1t was seen, however, that nothing of
the kind had happened to the body
which lies there inferred; and there are
some doubts whether Henry v. really
brought the corpse of Richard IL tc
London from Pontefract. and whether
the body which he exposed to view was
not rather that of Richards chaplain,
Maudslry, who is known to have closely
resembled him. The historic doubt on
this subject will never be solved. The
mode. in which the hapless monarch met
his death is II secret of the prison house
forever.
On another occasion it became neees-
sary to open several of the royal vaults.
to see whether it was true that the body
of James l. had been removed fiom the
Abbey by the Puritans. If this had
proved to be the case, there would have
been some small shadow of an excuse
for the base act of the Parliament OF
Charles IL in turning out of the. Abtes
the bod es Of Cromwell and his ad-
herents.
1t was most interesting to hear the
Dean describe the chaotic fulneSs, OF the
vault OF the Stuarts, which contains the
collins of Prince Henry, Elizabeth,
Queen of Bohemia, Mary of Orange,
Mary, Queen of Scots, ten childsan Of
James H., eighteen children OF Queen
Anne, Prince Rupert, Prince George o:
Denmark, and many others This
crowded Stuart vault formed a great
contrast to the ma; ;;estic quietude of the
Tudor vault, in which only Queen
Elizabeth and Queen Mary Tudor lie
side by side.
The body of King James was st last
found, very unexpectedly. in the vault
of Henry VII. and Elizabeth Of York:

ployed in the interment had wished to
show his scorn for the author of the

And the curly brown pates knd wondering

And the curly brown pates snd WONDERING
OF the inns that had made the clatter:
Then the mother just bringing in. to crown
Her banquet, q beautiful golden-brown,
Great roasted goose on platter.
A grabbed old man, to whom the sight
OF happy children gave small delight:
A hungry man who had come SO far
To a feast hts presence could only mar;
An iron-fisted miser,
Who would seldom afford himself fat,
Delectable Christmas goose like that,
Or indulge in q anything half & 60 E gocd-. cd.
And it certainly seemed that his presence
would
To say the least-surprise her
For he said to himself: "Her means are
spent
An, she hasn't a penny to pay her rent,
While this is the way she gOrges
Her ravenous tribe on the fat of the land!
I'll let her know that understand
Whose money pays for the orgies"
But, seeing the old man standing there,
The widow, seemingly unaware
OF his brow's severe contraction.
Perceiving only his thin white hair,
And his almost venerable air,
Wiped her fingers, and placed a chair,
With charmngly natural action;
Welcoming him with never a trace
OF guile in her smiling and grateful face:
Accounting this visit the crowning grace
OF his noble benefaction.
"Oh. SIR she began. 81 an glad you are

With quivering lip and starting tear
" To see what happiness" this was gall
To the stingy old wretch "you have given US

Since you were SO good" "Not l." he

With gentle, sweet insistence:
" 1t seems but a trifie to you, no doubt;
Such kindness as yours" Here he burst
out,

A thing that has no existence"
All. bou may say that, since you have

A goodness which you are too good to own!

Daggett's want Of Reverence.

A letter recently received from
Honolulu thus shows Minister Dag
gett's want of respect for the royalty
of that kingdom. AT a reception
some time ago in the Summer Palace,
Daggett was examining some oil
paintings aud pointing TO the portrait
Of a young, boy, he said to the Queen:
"Who is that little duffer, your
majesty?"
H'That," remarked the Queen, with
u tear %glistening in her eye, 'sthat is
n picture of our little son who died"
The only reply that Daggett made
was an unconscious, "Oh, hill"
At the same reception Daggett ask
ed the Queen whether she ever drank
whisky, to which she replied that
she occasionally slipped a bit OF it.
"Well, them" said our Minister,
'send your royal dsmijohn around to
the legation and you shall have a
gallon OF the best you ever Hoped
your royal lips over"
That's the kind of royalty they
have in the Sandwich Islands.

A New Windlass.

j. r. Staples, Of Frisco, Utah, after
many months of labor and hard study,
SAYS the Southern Utah Times, has at
length invented and completed a
hosting windlass (and has applied
for a patent on the same) the use of
which will have a tendency to revolu-
tionize the work of mine prospecting.
1t is pronounced by all practical and
experienced miners, who have exam
ined it and seen it operate, to be the
best hand hosting windlass yet in
vented. 1t has, among other proper
ties in its operation, the merit of fast
and slow motion, and is so construct
ed that one man can hoist from 600 to
700 pounds from a depth of from 800
TO 400 feet with the same speed asthat
of ~ ordinary windlass with a light
load. The fast motion is intended TO
be used for hosting men or anything
required to be hoisted rapidly. The
great and insurmountable difficulty
in prospecting heretofore has been,
that a greater depth than 100 to $50
feet cannot be attained with any de-
gree of economy by the 5 of the or
binary hand windlass. This difficulty
is entirely overcome by the Staples
windlass, as it car be used at any
depth, the rope working on an endless
principle. 1t has pals and other i'm
proved attachments which render it
as safe as any whim or cage now in
use. Parties owning mining proper
ty can now prospect the same to any
desired depth, without waiting for
years for capital to do the work, as
this windlass is within the reach of all.
Mr.. Staples is to be congratulated and
is deserving of great credit for the
success he has attained in inventing a
windlass, the princi )al points of which
are safety, power and speed.
