IEarpcr's Fcrry.-The Washington

IEarpcr's Fcrry.-The Washington
correspondent of the St. Louis Post and
Dispatch writes that lIarper's Ferry de-
rivcs its name from Robert Harper, 4 ma
tive of Oxford, in England. He was born
about the year 1903, and, at the age of 20,
cmigrated to Philadelphia, where he pros
ccuted the business of architecture and
millwrighting. >In 11i7 he WAS engaged
by some members of the Society Of
Friends to erect church for that denom-
ination on the Opequon river, near the
present town of Winchester. While on
his way through the then almost unbroken
forests, he lodged one night with Ger
man i'm lonely inn on the site Of the
present city of Frederick, Md. This Ger
man, whose name was Hoffman, Informed
him that his best route was by the way of
the "Hole," where he would see some
wonderful sights. Harper adopted the
suggestion, arrived at the "Eole," fell in
love with the place, found man living
there by the name of Peter Stevens,
bought out Stevens with fifty British
guineas and settled there. The realty of
the place was in Lord Fairfax, and by
perseverance he obtained from that noble
man deed or patent. Harper settled
down there and establishes ferry; hence
the name the "IIole" ceased and "Har-
per's Ferry" doomed up into perpetual
prominence. Harper died in 1872 and
was inferred on his own property. His
mosscovered grave is to be seen in the ro-
mantle graveyard that overlooks the old
Gown.

acquires reputation for extra skill or
extra luck in finding whales, he is close
ly watched and followed. Go where he
will, the others are always close in his
wake, and for this reason the thirty odd
ships in the Arctic are generally split up
into seven or eight punches, each bunch
trusting to the guidance of some one
captain.
The whaling ships are the only
nursery for seamen on this coast. Owing
to the large number of officers they
carry, each ship has from 10 to II men
aft. They can afford to take large
proportion of green hands In picking
out sIch men, the Captains, who always
select their own crew, take care to choose
strong and healthy young fellows of
cheerful disposition, and plenty such
can be found here anxious to make a
trip to the Arctic for good food, COM
Portable quarters, and chance to make
from $50 to $75 month wages. Green
hands are always given a week to get
over seasickness before called upon to
do any work. Then their first job is
| to learn the traces-the ropes by which
| the yards are shifted. Some will learn
| thus in an hour, others take longer. In
the case of very dull pupils, the plan
adopted is to lock the forecastle and al
low no man below until the stupid ones
have learned to distinguish every trace
by its name. Then they are taught the
other parts of the rigging, and so by
degrees acquire q sort of rough seaman
ship, limited to knowledge of how to
reef, steer, and do the rough work of a
ship. On the homeward voyage when
there is little or nothing to do, some
Captains will organize class in naviga-
ton. and many man has taken his first
lesson i'll reading, writing, and arith-
metic on board a whaler. When these
green hands get back to San Francisco
they are eagerly picked up as ordinary,
and sometimes as able seamen, by the
merchant ships which from variety oil
causes are in state of chronic short
handedness. In this way the whaling
fleet turns loose about $50 indifferent
sailors every year. Good enough men
to do rough work, but totally ignorant
of the arts of knottiDg, splicing, and the
finer work of sailOrizing. If their first
season was a good one they are general
ly anxious to get back to whaling after
the miseries of voyage around Cape
Horn. If 1t turns out bad after one
long trip with wheat, they are ready to
try farming or some other dry land oc-
cupation. From all reports to hand SO
far, the present season in the Arctic has
been bad one, six whales being the
largest catch announced. But the ships
still had one month of open weather,
unless the season turns out to be I'M
usually bad, and perhaps the catch may
come up to the average.

Playing a Horse on the Ace.

The Denver Times tells this story OF
local life as follows: In party of poker
players here a night or two ago the con-
versation turned upon high stakes at
gambling, and then upon the queer
character of bets made in the presence
of the speakers in the past.
Mustang Joe. said one, 81 knew in
Texas. He made bis living by catching
and selling mustangs, and he was a
gambler from way back, too. Played
to win or lose, and, when short cards
were concerned, generally won. He
rode a beautiful horse he called Dan;
had him caparisoned as gorgeously as
lady at the Vanderbilt ball, with gold
and silver trappings, and had him
trained better than any circus horse [
ever saw. Joe had refused SIS, 600 for
him, saddle and bride. One night I
was watching a faro game in San An
tonic. The chips were S., and there
was no limit. Joe had Just come in
from Mexico with nearly 81 900 in cash,
and he was'playing. The ace and queen
seemed to be his favorite cards, and
$500 went ON every bet he made. He
finally got broke. Go on with the deal
I'll he back in a minute he said to
the dealer, Jack Bryant, and went out.
The next deal had just commenced when
Joe returned, and after him, harnessed
in all his bravery, stepped the horse

while the crowd looked with amazement
at the horse, which was gazing with
almost supernatural intelligence at the

"'He goes for 81, ZOO then. Dan ?
The horse reared himself at sign from
Joe, and one of his four hoofs the gam

Every one watched in breathless silence.
The card won. Go home, Dan, said
Joe, and the horse trotted out of the
room and to his stable. Joe sat, played
