\ Fearful Story from the Wilds OF
North Carolina.

WAYNEsvILLE, N. c., May 2O.-Hen.
ry Carson and his daughter Kitty lived
IN . small house in the wilds Of Wau-
tauga county, half dozen miles from
any habitation. Old man Carson raised
enough cotton to supply the family with
the absolute necessaries Of life, and all
his spare time he employed in hunting
bears and other wild game. His daugh-
ter wss . very smart girl. general ia.
vorite among the backwoods swains,
half dozen Of whom were always at her
feet.
About three weeks ago Kitty sudden
ly and mysteriously disappeared. and
there were ugly rumors that she had
eloped with young storekeeper from
Murphy, against whom ii was known the
old man Carson had a grudge. Another
pmor was that she had run away with
q Italian who had been hurt ON the
Western North Carolina railroad. and
who. during his convalescence. had given
the young girl lessons on the violin
a When her fsaher was asked what had
become Of his daughter, he preserved an
eminous silence. Day before yesterday,
Mr.. Carson was tramping through one Of
the great nameles swamps OF the county,
following some fresh bear tracks. When
In . depression Of the swamp, whence
the water had but recently receded, he
saw the remains Of human body, the
entire upper half Of which. above the
waist, had been eaten away by wild
animals. From the cloting old man Car
son recognized all that was left of his
child.
He carried the remains to the nearest
settlement. 1t is thought that Miss
Kitty became entangled in the mire and
was unable to extricated herself, and
that while in this utterly helpless condi.
ton bears attacked her. All that part
Of the body above water had been
gnawed of, and evidences Of q severe
struggle were apparent ON every side.
the bushes having been torn down
and shreds OF clothing scattered
shout. The discovery created great
sensation. The father is thought to be
hopelessly insane through grief.
Mrs. Carson died some nine years ago,
since which time Miss Kitty, who was
about II, has been her fathers constant
companion, the greatest affection having
existed between them. The girls funeral
occurred to-day, and was one of the
laraest gatherings ever seen in Wautauga
county.

The Blue Pennant Girl.

With the brisk and nautical air of O
signal quartermaster of a crack flagship
of the United States navy, o trim young
woman standing in the center Of q rallied
enclosure at Wanamakers grand depot,
"bent on" blue pennant, similar In
shape to the distinguishing flag Of com.
modore Of the navy, and ran it quickly
to one Of the topmost rsfters Of the
great store.
Around the little quartermaster were
half dozen pennants of different colors.
"What is that done fort" was asked.
"Oh, that's the way we signal the girls
who act as guides through the store, "
she answered. "There are seven Of them,
each having her own signal, and when
that is flying, she knows she is wanted
here for orders. Here. is the young
woman Of the blue flag nowi" And as
she came up the fluttering signal was
hauled down.

Digging Wells.

The old way Of digging a well and
stoning it up SO as to leave it about three
feet in diameter, is a very good one
where the well is to be left open a,d the
water drawn up with bucket; but a
very poor one if it is to be covered an
the water raised with pump. If COW
cred, large space is left for dead air,
which often affects the character OF the
water, and makes it unsafe to enter the
well. When thus stoned up and a
pump used, the covering should be at or
near the water. But if pump is to be
used the better way is to save the cost of
stoning-dig the well in a dry time, and
put in cement pipe, after sufficient
quantity of water has been reached, and
continue the pipe to the surface, filling
up the we'll outside the pipe. The pipe
should be covered, but the quantity Of
air confined will be small, and as the
well cannot be entered no danger will
arise from that source.-Rural Press.

A Feat OF Telegraphy.

We have often heard OF the wonderful
line between this country and Tsheran,
the capital OF Persia, distance Of $500
miles, but we scarcely realized the fact
that good signals were obtainable through
80 great length Of wire until recently,
when we avaiied ourselves Of an invita-
ton from the Managing Director of the
Indo- European Telegraph Company to
make visit Of inspection. In the base
mept Of an unpretentious building in
Usd Broad street we were shown the
Morse printer in connection with the
the main line from London to Teheran.
The courteous clerk in charge Of the wire
informed ~ that we were through 10
Emden, and, with the same ease with
which one Of the "wires" from the city
TO the West End, We asked few
questions Of the telegraphists in the
German town. When we hal finished
with Emden we spoke with the same
facility to the gentleman on duty at
Odessa. This did not satisfy US, and in q
few seconds we were through to the
Persian capital (Teheran). There were
no messages about, the time was favora-
BILE. and the employees Of the various
countries seemed anxious to give us an
opportunity of testing the capacity Of
this wonderful line. T. H. N. (Teheran)
said; "CaM Kurraches, and in less time
than IL takes TO write these words we
gained the attention Of the Indian town.
The signals were good, and our speed
must have equalled fifteen words min
ute. The operator at kurrachee, when
he learned that London was speaking to
him, thought it would be good oppor-
unity to put us through to Agra, and to
our astenishment the signals did not fail,
and we chatted pleasantly for few
minutes with Mr.. Malcom Khan, the
clerk on duty. To make this
triumph Of telegraphy complete, Agra
switched us on TO another line, and we
were soon talking to native telegraphisi
at the Indian Government Cable Station.
Al first the gentleman ''at the other end
OF the wire" could not believe that he
was really In direct communicate with
the English capital, and he exclaimed in
Morse language: "Are you really Lon.
