Comparatively few people are acquain-
ted with the Wilson fanny in New York,
and the public never hears oft, though
it had been dragged into more or less
eminence lately by the fact that the
heiress to the Aston millions is to mar
ny the eldest son of the Wilson's. The
engagement of Orme Wilson to Miss
Carrie Aston was not a surprise to peo-
pie who are acquainted with the family.
1t was exactly what everybody had ex-
pected te occur. The Wilson place is
next to the Astor's summer residence
at Newport, and from the time Miss
Caroline Aston was II years old her
playmate was young Master Wilson.
When they became of age they wereen-
gagged, as a matter of course. Miss AS
tor is neither brilliant nor beautiful.
She is quiet, has domestic tastes,
and cares little for society. 1t is said
that $50, 900 a year will be settled on
the bride by her family, and o like
amount will go to the groom from his
family. This will give the pair an in
come of $100,000 a year. Possibly
enough to buy the necessaries of life.
The extraordinary thing about the
Wilson family TO my mind is the man
ner in which they conceal the fact that
they are people of immense wealth.
No one ever thinks of ranking them
with the great wealthy families of the
metropolis, and yet they are million
aires many times over. They are very
exclusive. not at all prominent in socie-
ty, and their name seldom gets into the
papers. A friend of mine who was look
ing for an eligible building site for the
erection of a large structure up town
told me that he was perfectly amazed
at the amount of property the Wilson's
held. All over the city, and in the
most valuable portions, he ran across
big lots of land which belonged to the
Wilson estate. What an enormously
wealthy family the Astors will be in
the course of fifty years? Their pro-
perty now is estimated at something
over $3.50, 900, 900. The only son and
all three of the daughters have married
into families of extraordinary wealth.
They all know how TO hold on to it,
too.

the Surface Of q Jersey Inlet.
From the New Jersey Coast Pilot.
While your correspondent and a friend
we're sailing in Great Bay on the after
moor of July 16 they saw a huge water
spOut-the first even known in that
body of water. Our attention was at
first attracted by a violent connection
of the water, covering a space of prob
ably twenty yards in diameter. BY the
aid of q pair OF marine glasses we
watched it attentively during its forma-
lion, and as it pursued its rapid flight
toward the west we were enabled to
make the following Observations: The
body of water appeared to be leaping
and foaming with great violence and
was travelling at the rate of eight or ten
miles an hour. As it moved swiftly on
its course it gradually assembled toward
a dense, black cloud that overhung 1T.
Presently we observed the cloud to
change in appearance, a portion of 1t
becoming elongated and descended to-
ward the waters that rose to meet 1t,
and, as it drew the water up into it,
changed from an inky blackness to a
much lighter color.
The thing was now complete and con-
sisted of a mass of seething, foaming
water whose diameter had increased to
forty yards or more, to which was joined
a narrow funnel, which extended at
least a quarter of an mile upward, where
it united with the heavy, black loud
that still lowered over it. The funnel,
if such we may call it, at first ran down
in almost a perpendicular direction, but
soon changed in a double curve, and as
it swayed to and fro in the air IL pre-
sented the appearance of a huge rope
connecting the mass of water with the
inky cloud above.
The whole affair lasted, as neal as we
could Judge, for about fifteen minutes
when the upper portion gradually De-
came less dense until it finally dlsap-
reared, while the waters continued IN
agitation a few minutes longer. FROM
the time we discovered it until It's DIS,
solution it kept up the same rate OF spee9
had any boats been in its path 1t wonia
assuredly have meant destruction 10
them.

She must be made to understand clear
Iv hat he would have nothing to do
With her. and tonight he would start
for Paris enroute for some place, the
further from England the better.
The door opened. He shut the book
nervously. The apparition of the night
before doomed in the doorway. He
turned cold; it was worse by daylight
than in the evening gloom. He shut
his ewes for one second, and when he
opened them again they fell on the
sweetest, fairest face it had even been
his lot to see. Before he could recover
from his surprise the owner of the face
was speaking.
"Gen. Biddulph," she said hesita-
tingly, "please forgive me for disturb
ing you so early, but I could not rest
until / had seen you and a%pologized for
nv nonsensical rudeness last night"
The general looked mystifed. ITO
whom have 1 the pleasure of speak
ing?" he asked hurriedly.
Il am Dessa DAILY"
"Miss DAILY! But, surely-I-that is"-
please let me explain all, " said Miss
DAILY, quickly, her pretty face suffused
with bushes. ~ scarcely know how to
begin. when we landed yesterday
some people, friends of Mrs. Comyns,
met her, and when they we're gone I
learnt from her that there was a little
excitement about me, and-it was very
foolish of them-they wished to see
what L was like. They told her you
knew nothing about me, and a spirit of
mischief entered our heads, we deter
mined to play a little joke on you, and
pass off Sunda here" drawing the smll-
ing black maid forward, "as me. 1t
was very, very wrong, but 1 hope you
will forgive u.s."
The general drew himself up stiffly, and
looked decidedly grim.
at don't know what papa would say
if he knew how sh~ockingly 1 had treat
ed his old friend, continued the culprit,
her pretty head dropping gracefully;
"but hope-I do hope you will forgive
me-"
The general thawed. He took the
the little hand outstretched and pressed
it warmly.
"Who could resist such a pleader ?"
he replied CALAMITY, the vision of lovli-
ness before him dispelling his wrath.
"But-then you were not-scolding-
your maid last night?"
"No, no." laughed the girl gayly;
shat was part of my plot. l wanted you
to think l vas the most horrible crea-
ture in the world. Sunda acted that
scene all alone for your benefit"
"She was most successful" said the
general, dryly "but L will be even with
you yet, Miss Dessa, for the trick you
have played upon me. / might have
known bruce Days daughter would
have had a good spice of mischief in her
composition. 1t Is just the sort of thing
your father delighted to do when we
were boys together"
Dessa lifted her deep gray eyes to
his. "Then you have forgiven me?"
she said softly.
"Now-forever-alwaysi"
The generals ward was a great sue
cess.
