WAITING FOR SWEET REVENGE.
A Young POIander Keeping a Faithful
Watch Upon His Mothers Murderer.

A Young POlander Keeping a Faithful
Watch Upon His Mothers Murderer.
Fourteen years ago, says the Mount
Carmel PA Ne,os, Joseph COmoski, ST.,
died in Poland, leaving a snug estate and
Joseph ComosE, Jr., his sister and the
two cnildren's mother. The hours of
mourning had scarcely passed when Mi
chael ShamOlick turned his eyes upon
Miss Comoski. He wooed and won. To
possess the estate now became his unholy
ambition. The widow stood in the way
of the successful accomplishment of his
foul object. He meditated and finally de-
termined to resort to foul means for the
removal of his obstacle.
One morning the little Polish village
was excited as it had never been before.
Some one, during the hour of sleep, had
foully murdered Widow Comoski. Sus-
picion at once attached itself to the SON.
in-law. Pursued by the law and guilty
conscience, he fed from the land of his
birth, crossed the ocean and found en-
ployment in the mines of Pennsylvania.
Here he considered himself secure.
Joseph ComOski, Jr., though but boy
of fourteen years, swore sOlemnly to
avenge his mothers death, even should
the murderer seek the most distant spot
ON earth. In pursuance of this resolve he
babe tender adieu to his betrayed sister
and sailed for America. Fortune favored
the brave youth and after time he dis
covered his mothers murderer in Potts
vile. He at once made known his dis
covery to the Polish Consul at New York
and acquainted him with all the facts in
the case. The sympathy of the official
was enlisted in the boys behalf and he
promised his assistance. The boy kept a
watch over the murderer's doings, tracing
him from town to town. Finally the fu-
gitive was apprehended while engaged in
the commission of robbery and sent to
the Philadelphia Penitentiary for a term
of three years. The Consul in the mean
time had written to Poland and learned
of the correctness of the boys story. He
then secured the eXtraditiOn papers, and
the boy came to Mt. Carmel, where so
many of his countrymen reside, to work
while the three years were passing. He
found employment at the Pennsylvania
Colliery as an ash-wheeler. By his indus
tFious habits he gained the good will of
his bosses and was finally promoted to
foreman, a position which he now salts
factOrily fills.
The young man is scrupulously careful
in saving his earnings, and it was a
knowledge of this, followed by an inquiry
from an official, that led to recital of
Lhe ABOVE IaclS' Inc young udn ndS suC-
ceeded in keeping his secret from his
countrymen and this account will proba-
bly, be to them startling. He has collected
a snug little sum by his economical habits,
and, with fire in his eve, one day this week
remarked to our informant that upon the
completion of the murderer's term Of inn
prisonment the extradition papers would
meet him in the face and the villain should
swing from the Polish gallows if it took
every cent he earned at the Pennsylvania
Colliery.

GREATNESS AND THE OCEAN
How Some Scholarly Gentlemen at
tempted to stop the Tide.

How Some Scholarly Gentlemen At
tempted to stop the Tide.
A number of eminently proper and re-
spectacle gentlemen, who had conceived
an intense and glowing admiration for
themselves, and who felt that without
them this world would be dreary and
disappointing mistake, says the Youngs-
town (Ohio) Sunday Morning, went bath
ing in the ocean one fine summers day
They bathed, not because they needed a
bath. for they were without defilement,
but because they thought the ocean might
feel sighted if they never bathed as they
passed by. So for time they padded in
a mildly merry manner, in the surf, and
enioyed themselves as far as it was be.
coming and proper that such peerless gen.
tlemen should enjoy themselves.
Then with scholarly originality they
conceived the idea of holding back the
tide. So they clasped hands daintily, and
with the choicest of rhetoric and the most
elegantly cOuched sentences, they COM
manded the tide to roll back.
But the breakers roared, with laughter,
perhaps, and the tide came on and on,
and the scholarly gentlemen were tossed
hither and thither like straws; finally the
ocean rolled over them, and the tide
reached higher mark than it had reached
ever before.
The scholarly gentlemen, amazed and
mortified, scrambled ingloriously out OF
the surf, and, in so far as it is possible foI
such superior creatures to feel that un-
couth and barbarOus sentiment, ven
geance shone from their mild and scholar.
~ blue eyes.
sWe will taunt the thoughtless and
sacriIigious ocean," said they, with the
irreparable DETACHMENT we have accom-
pIished by leaving him. For surely we
have left vast holes to mark where we
stood.v
So they adjusted their Scotch pebbles
and looked for the holes in the ocean,
But there were none discernable, and
the tide was moving smoothly and pla'
cidly.

GIRLS WHO CAN SWIM.
A Popping Tom in Swimming School.

Popping Tom in a Swimming School.
One sensible preparation some of us
have made for the season at the seaside
we have learned to swim. Several swim
ming schools have been fashionable here
in New York during the winter and
spring.
The one which l visited had big pond,
and | had great fun in it, after getting
rid of the last lingering fear that there
were peep-holes round the sides. Tha
costume epjoined upon us-and to vary IL
made one seem prudish-Was a single
garment reaching from neck to hips, leaY-
ing the arms and legs bare their entire
length. The place was adjacent to Fifth
avenue, and dozens of the incest girls in
town used to go there for a swim every
day. They made a lively scene, / can tell
YOU, though scarcely spectacular, in a
theatrical sense, for it was cold, uncom-
promising daylight instead of calcium
that glared on the swimmers. And it
must be confessed that the skin woven OF
silk is finer than that nature produces.
The exhibition of shins--if they had be-
Ionged to heifers wouldn't have been sala-
BILE for soup-would have been further
disseminating to any Peeping Tom with
ideal notions. / am not libeling the ply
steal CONGREGATIONS of the pupils at all.
The fact is that the excessively thin girls
did most of the standing on the brink,
while the plump ones kept submerged.
Flesh floats and bone sinks. Therefore
the fat ones found it easy to spend an hour
in the water without restingmr hile the
skeletons bumped and shiyeN around
the tank. The upshot of the training,
however, will be some surprisingly expert
swimming this summer at Newport and
Long Branch

"MAIDENs ROCK"
The Multitudinous Legends of Lovers
Leaps.

Leaps.
There are $50 " Maiden's Rocks /" in the
State of Michigan alone, says the Free
Press. That means lots of different places
where beautiful Indian maidens, with
their sylphlike legs and graceful Shout
ders and beautiful faces preferred to leap
from the rocks to be welded to horse
thief whom they could not love. We don't
blame 'em one bit, although it would have
been less trouble to choke themselves to
death or step on a Tattlesnake.
Wisconsin has 800 Maiden Rocks, Iowa
$50. Illinois 1877, Indiana go, Vermont 56I,
and we were counting up the total the
other day, and found the figures to be
IL, 1862, with Idaho and Washington Terri
tories to be heard from. Thirteen thou
sand eight hundred and sixty-two Indian
maidens softly stole from as many wig
vans at shutdown and climbed to the top
of as many rocks. Their old bull-dozing
dads beheId them and called to them to
come down and get some paregOric, but
they sang their wild death chants and
flung themselves on the cruel rocks be-
low.
One thinks of it with sadness. The
maidens hadn't Orter done it. Had they
waited a week or so they would have en-
tireIy recovered from the feeling and adj.

guing that an Indian husband with a
broken nose and IA ponies could take the
cake over a love-sick youth without a
second pair of socks to his name.
We are now preparing in this Office the
sad story of the Indian girls leap from
Maiden Rock. The same story answers
for the entire 1892 maidens. Each one
persisted for love in the same sad way,
and the father of each died Of grief. Owing
to the recent reduction in the price Of ink
we can furnish these sad tales at the low
price of ten cents each, or three for q
quarter. They are warranted to fit any
scenery, stand in any climate, and cause
old ladies to sob and young ones tC
shiver.

along her vineclad forests and around the
sweet indentatiOns Of her beautiful coast,
TO the great JOY and satisfaction Of thou
sands. No street car ride will ever COM
pensate for the loss Of a reinYigorating
walk through the fragrant woodlands Of
spring and summer.
Lastly, Savannah may still line her
whole sea-coast to the Altamaha with
cOast-line- railroad, following the inden-
lions mainly, and crossing to the beauti-
ful islands when practicable, and thus
secure facilities Of egress and ingress TO
the CITY that would soon build up that
now almost waste and deserted but salu-
brious and fertile section of islands and
mainland as large as the State Of Con-
necticut. Splendid residences would soon
line the coast and crown the thousand
poetic hooks and corners along the bays
and Inlets of the region, and yearly in
cre2Sing truck farms would spread away
70 the interior, to redeem a once almost
classic land from Incidence and barbarism.
What has Savannah TO say that while
she has been looking far away over the
distant hills and valleys for trade TO I'LL
her vacant warehouses, full fifty miles of
territory in three-Quarters Of a circle
around them lie almost wholly unde-
FelOped! There are many cities in Europe,
and some even in this country, larger
than Savannah, whose growth and pros
perity depend upon the industries of much
smaller areas. What shall we say, then
Can it be that her tradesmen are ''one-
idea" people, having an eye to catch what
little trade there is, but none to reach out
and create? OF all the cities Of the Union
Savannah ought to be ahead in this par
ticular. Her very settlement was under
taken for the purpose Of planting indus
tries TO foster British trade! What better
investment could be made than TO so
beautify and improve the city as to induce
those who visit to make it their home, and
TO provide its tributary territory, espe-
cially its immediate vicinity, with such
facilities as shall fully develop its re-
sources and concentrate its trade upon
the city? Seed-time ever comes before
the harvest, and the crop must be we'll
cultivated before it can be expected to
yield a profitable return. Would it not
be well for the leading citizens and capt.
talists Of Savannah to reflect a little on
these things! LOCAL.
