The progress of intelligence has af-

books. 1t is only in the very out-of-the-
way places that coins are to be picked
up for a song. The chief hunting.
ground, Asia Minor, is well looked
after by the dealers, and the private
collector has, of course, to pay them
their profit. The increasing in value
may be gagged by the following in
stance: A gold coin Of Mithridates, the
size of our half sovereign, fetched %
g%uineas in 1777. In 1917 it came to
the hammer, and was knocked down at
ESQ to a well-known collector. I'm

afterward appeared in a safe and he
had to pay 800 for that. Later on still
a third turned up, and that fell to his
bid at G100. Yet a fourth came to
light in 1910. The owner of the three
bid up to clio, but had to give in to a
bid of Glib from a rival. Fancy his

send an Important message 10 a certain
point three miles distant The way lay
through the village, and was dangerous,
as many French soldiers were skulklng
about. Conrad Won Rosenhain was
chosen as one messenger, and oddly
enough it fell to the lot of Colonel Won
Pleyel to accompany him.
at dark the two men set forth on
their dangerous errand. the elder know
Ing little of the hate for him in the
younger ones breast. On the way they
spoke little, and followed each other in
the darkness as well as they could. Pass
ing through a narrow gateway at the
end of the village street, Won Rosen-
hain's sword slipped and struck on the
| ground.
"Who goes there ?' called a gruff
voice in French, followed by the sharp
report of a musket.
Foolish fellow to waste his bullet
aiming in the dark |" said Conrad to
himself.
Outside the village the danger was
over, and Won Rosenhain, having van
dered out of hearing of his companion.
hurried on alone, delivered his message,
and returned to the camp. The next
morning, on inquiring for Colonel Won
Pleyel, Conrad heard to his establishment
that he had not returned. Wondering,
he set out again over the road that they
had trayorsed together on the previous
evening, and, as he neared the little
gate at the end Of the deserted street,
he saw to his surprise Colonel Won Pleyel
sitting on a bench beside a cottage,
1--WE were wondering at your absence,
| Colonel" he was about to say. but the
words froze ON his lips. Hugo Won
Pleyel was st~One-dead, shot through the
brain.
Won Rosenhain remembered with a
shock the striking of his sabre on the
ground, the challenge of the French
soldier, and the bullet fired. That bull
let had struck down the man whom he
hated above all O. hers on earth. He
had fallen upon the stone bench with
out a cry, and, supported by the wall of
the house, had sat in CHASTITY silence ever
since.
A successor was needed to fill the
post of the lamented Colonel von Pleyel,
and to Conrad Won Rosenhain's delight
it was offered to him as a reward for
bis past bravery. The first person to
whom the young man wrote of his ad-
vancement was the Baron o Rem
sthal, and the letter contained a formal
request for the hand of his daughter
Daphne in marriage. Daphre herself
replied with a happy glowing letter !;
and when the summer came the soldier
lover claimed his bride. Daphne in her
orange-blossoms was beautiful as an
angel, " the neighbors said.

A e or THE SEA.
sau the sea In a dream

saw the sea In a dream
Such a great, wide, des0late sea
Rooted by a dome Of blank lead sky,
Walled BY blank cliffs that lowered as high
With seabirds, like phantoms, lowering by.
] heard its terrible voice
As il spread Its long white arms,
Catching and clutching at the shore,
And falling backwards evermore
With a hollow moan and an angry roar,
Slowly, slowly il crept
To my feet with a cruel smile;
The seabirds Knocked and shrieked at me
Whittier, oh, whittier could flee
From the icy clasp of that awful sea?
/ looked on the stony cliff,
And then TO a pitiless sky;
There was ne help, nc succour-nonel
Never before had ! guessed or known
The meaning of that dread word "Alone "
No blessed human sound,
No faintest glimpse of Gods sun p!
Is it the night, or is it day?
/ could not move, nor think, nor pray,
But stared at Death, on the waters gray
Coming s~tealthily near,
TIL his dank breath was on M face;
And far away a lurid glow
Like lightning glimmered TO and fro
The gates of He'll swung open slow
terrible realm of Death !

Not, save In dreamland, can there be,
Neither In time nor eternity,

THE sad impression seems to prevail in
Boston and New York that the Greedy party
were compelled to resort to canibalism dur
ing the terrible strain of cold and starvation
in the arctic regions. We sincerely hope that
this charge may prove untrue. Though they
claim to have reached the most northerly
point ever attained, the seven survivors Of the
expedition paid dear for the honor. Now, if
it be proven that they ate the furnishing
bodies of their comrades, fame will whisper
low their names, and Sargent Ellison, who
died on the passage home, Will-if the i'm
preston now in the public mind be true--be
considered the most fortunate individual Of
the expedition.

distance, "was his home, and as we looked
we could see far away, the fog crawling and
curling up along the gaps Of the Blue Ridge
mountain, near one spur of which, as our
friend indicated, the great chief justice had
lived. Often he has come to my fathers
house, walking the distance of ten miles
without any sign Of fatigue, she said, and
my father has told us that Judge Marshall
loved every hill in the Blue Ridge. We
thought of Mary Howetts lines.
Hence is it that the lands Of storm and sun

driac. She loved to sit in darkened room,
was very nervous and hysterical.' Near
Judge MarshalPs town house there was an
open common, where the COWS of the neigh
borhood frequently congregated In the
midst of the herd there was a COW with a
bell the ringing of this bell, as the cattle
came near the house, invariably put poor
Mrs. Marshall into a spasm Of Mysteries
whereupon the aged chief justice would issue
forth to drive the tantalizing animals to
further distance" Often the patient old
gentleman was seen shouting and geStlculat-
ing in the wake Of the bell-cow, making a
vehement effort to drive her to the remote
edge of the common. A gentleman friend
who had been some years abroad, returned
to Richmond. He wished to call upon the
wife of his friend, the chief justice. He was
shown into the darkened parlor. Just as he
was about to profer his greeting he stumbled
over an ottoman Instantly the nerves Of the
hostess became unstrung, and she threw her
self back in spasm Of Mysteries The gentle
man was hurried away by the chief justice and
retreated, leaving the house without finishing

THE people Of Galveston last winter APP
piled to Capt Eads to undertake the work SO
long carried on by government engineers Of
increasing the depth of Galveston harbor.
Capt. Eads consented and will take charge of
the harbor Improvements, for which such
large sums of money have already been ex-
pended No doubt large ships will be able
to enter the beautiful harbor if the very sue
cessful system Of Capt Eads be carried out.
So much time, however, elapses before any
great work can be organized for action, and
Capt. Eads is now, to Judge by his appearance,
at least seventy-eight or nine; but to the
brave heart and the broad mind youth seems
perpetual. May time be granted to the reso-
lutte man to carry out all his great plans.
THE announcement that Miss Randolph, of
Virginia, will shortly publish biography Of
her relative, Chief Justice Marshall, will call
forth, no doubt, an eager interest in the
minds of the numerous admirers of that pro-
found lawyer. A thought of this biography
recalls a time when we were sitting one calm
starlit evening upon the potico Of Virginia

Bsrtholdi's Statue Is Ours.

PARIS, July 4.-The formal presentation
Of the statue, "Liberty Enlightening the
World" by the French Government, took
place in the Gauther workshops todsy. Mr..
Morton, the American Minister, received the
statue in the name of his government. Prime
Minister Ferry sent q letter saying he re-
GREETED that illness prevented him assisting at
the scene Of fraternity between the tive great
Republics. In heart and spirit he would
participate. De Lesseps said that France
under all governments had always been the
friend and ally of America. America now
realized that the Panama Canal was work
Of universal interest. The statue would for
ever pledge the bonds Of unity between
France and the great American people. Mr..
Morton, replying, thanked France In the
name of President Arthur and the American
people for the statue. He said he was charged
to assure De Lesseps, Ferry and the French
nation that the American people responded
with all their hearts to the sentiments of
friendship. The noble gift which that friend
ship had dictated would render the gratitude
Of the American people still more profound
and strong. He hoped that the statue would
remain for all time an emblem Of the inper-
isbable sympathies uniting both countries.

NEW YORK, July 90. L. Smith, mana.
ger Of the fiasco, and who for the past nine
months has had charge of the Sullivan com.
bnation says: "Just to think of Sullivan
saying that l knew he would not appear as
early as seven o'clock. He Is such an infer
nal liar you can't believe anything he says.
The truth of the matter Is just this: called
on him at five o'clock In the afternoon. He
was lying down, and asked Mrs. Sullivan If
she thought he was fit. She said he was In
better shape, in fact, than when he appeared
In New York before"
"Was Sullivan drunk ?" was asked.
"Of course he was; but didn't think any
thing of that, for he was drunk the whole
nine months we were on the road, but al.
ways braced up when before an audience. I
didn't hear from him until l went over al
eight o'clock to bring him to the Garden.
He said he was sick, and that the doctor told
him he shouldn't spar. told him he had TO
spar. Do you want me to get licked, he
asked. l told him no, but he had TO appear.
l thought when he got to the Garden he
would fight, for never before knew him to
shirk. did everything could. Mitchell
even offered to have light set-to, rather
than disappoint the crowd, but Sullivan
wouldn't hear of 1t. Until after eight I sup
posed everything was all right. Sullivan
lies point blank when he says he proposed
to turn over the receipts to charitable in
stitution. he is q liar from the word go,and
I've had more trouble with him on the road
than I'll ever have again with anybody"
