THE NAUTICAL cor.
He Gives New Bedford, Mass the Palm
for Producing the Greatest Liar in the

81 have ran across some mighty big
liars in my time" said the Nautical
Cop" taking his eyes from an old circus
poster and turning them on the reporter,
"but l think the fellow who was entitled
to the whole bakery, l met in 1855. He
was an American, toO-a New Bedford
man, and an able-bodied seaman in the
barkentine Nautilus, of which / was first

land coast after sperm whales. On the
morning of July 4, Maple-that was his
name-suddenly disappeared, just as we
were about to lower a boat and start after
a COW whale lying in the sun about a mile
to loO'ard.
''He had been seen an hour before drink
ing the Captains grOg at the head of the
companion way, and we thought he might
be asleep somewhere about the vessel;
| but a thorough search failed to find him.
| We went after the whale, but she was too
smart for us and got away, and when we
reached the vessel again another search
was made for Maple, but with the same
result. When week had passed without
finding him we came to the conclusion
that the poor fellow had fallen overheard
and, being unable to swim, was drowned.

foot in a coil of rope, and the next instant
was struggling in the waves. Nobody

SHAPELY WOMEN.
A Few Points Worth Noticing.
Dsy.off r. Droaa


A staymaker, asked by reporter if he
ever thought of studying women's figures
with respect to their nationalities, deliY-
cred himself of the following:
eyes, the study is an interesting one.
English women, when they are young,
have the noblest figures, so far as / have
observed" said the manufacturer, after a
pause, ''but they get corpulent and
dowager-like after marriage, much sooner
than American women, after which they
may be said to have no figure at all.
English women, as rule, are less
ashamed of their figures when stout than
most other fashi0nables, and seldom
resort to tight lacing. Mrs. Lang
try is superbly shaped woman,
say what they will, and Is
fine specimen of English women in general,
though l believe she is only half English,
after all. Among fashiOnables the French
ladies are apt to be spare to scrawniness,
but they have such a natural talent for
making up and cOncealing their defects
that it is hard to judge of them. There
are some pretty figures among the Cuban
and other West Indian women, but they
are short, age rapidly, and soon grow
dumpy; yet such as have French maids
manage to make up well. Refined Ger
man and Irish ladies have fine figures on
an average. So do the Italian ladies. The

seen, are rOtund and essentially well
built. The best shaped woman, in every
respect, who comes into this store, is a
Hungarian, wife Of a musician in one of
our theatre Orchestras. Her waist, bust,
and shoulders are like sculpture. She is
TALL willowy, and statuesque, and her
walk is the melody of motion. She
doesn't walk at all, in the ordinary sense,
but floats over the ground. Her natural
waist measure is twenty-eight, and she
does not lace down an inch below it.
However. English figures average best"
'You have not said anything about the
American ladies'" said the reporter.
81 reserved them for the last, for, as a
nationality, there is most to be said
against them. American fashionable
women, though inclined to fragility as a
rule, have naturally excellent figures, but
there are no other women who so persist
emily deform and destroy what nature has
given them through tight lacing and gen.

freak of fashion. American women are
the most uncOnsciOnable lacers in the

the British feminine figures are the best

ReminIscence Of the war.


The presence of Gen. Hancock in town
during the week reYives many reminis-
cences of the gallant soldier. He always
had a quality Of being a little ahead
rather than behind in the execution OF
his orders, and the result was that mis-
command had great deal Of hard work
to do. From SpOttsylvania to City Point it
bore the brunt of the battle, and when,
after Cold HarbOr, Grant determined to
change his position to the south side OF
James river, the Second Corps was torn
and shattered almost out of form. With
what men were left, Hancock withdrew
from his hazardous position at Cold Har-
Dor and marched southwark. He was in
a serious frame Of mind and nearly heart
broken at the condition of his command.
He reached the river in advance, and as
he was standing upon its bank, staff
officer from headquarters rode up, saluted
and said:
General, where is your CORPSE"
Hancock looked up, and, with the deep
est regret in his tones. said:

A Boston Girls Reason
CWtCuUO ITtOUl
"KisS me again.

kiss me again.
Sibyl SartorIs spoke these words in a
grave, calm manner that Detokened the
serious import in which she held them,
and as Herbert HOldfast bent tenderly
forward and pressed his lips softly to hers
she looked up to him in the shy, cation
tlfe-back-fence fashion that had so
witchedIhim in the golden-hued days of
cOurtship.
There was no tint of deception in the
pure nature of this girl, and her very act
was the result of reflection, often pro-
found. Brought up i'm Boston she had all
her life been accustomed to put to its best
use the power of discernment which a
thoughtful mind gave her. Surrounded as
she was by the mystic influences of Emer-
son, the Concord School of Philosophy,
and several large warehouses where
mackerel were sold, it is small wonder
that when, standing on the threshold of
womanhoOd, she beheld suitors for her
heart and hand approach; she had
analysed with critical care the hopes and
fears of each-had subjected the character
of every wOOer to the rigid scrutiny of a
mind that, seated cross-legged on the
starry summit of psychological research.
looked upon man as only vivified pro-
toplasm, and the deepest emotions of the
heart as merely the Manifestations of a too
active nerve centre.
Herbert knew this. He knew that this
girl, the rounded curves of whose figure
and the dewy sweetness of whose lips
would have made an anchOrite leave his
job without pang, had naught of passion
in her nature. And so when be had COM
plied-oh, so gladly-with her request,
there stalked from out the banquet halls
OF his imagination, where they had so long
been unwelcome guests. the sheeted
ghosts of Doubt and Apprehen
sion. He knew now that Sibyl
loved him with love that
would never falter or fail-a love that,
securely built upon a foundation of
respect and admiration, was now crowned
with the large, rOOmy Mansard roof of a
deathless, neYer-changing passion. Her
words proved it. Never before had she
even so much as limited at a kiss, and
when he had sought to take one she had
submitted to his caresses more as a duti-
full wife than an ardent lover. But now
all was changed, and it was she who
sought the bliss that a large, well-regu-
lated, tory-and-basement kiss alone
can give. The thought was ecstasy.
"YOu love me better to-day, Sibyl," he
said, than you did yesterday. Is it not
so, darlihg?"
"No," she answers, standing there calm
and pulseless as clam at hight tide.
Then why" he says, ''did you ask me
to kiss yOu?1
Because" Sibyl replies, 81 desired to
ascertain whether or not you had been
drinking MedfOrd rum"

MISS IDA LEWIS. q
Home Life of the Grace Darling of
America.

NeWp0Tt Is. ~ Letter.
The Lime Reck Lighthouse, rendered
famous as the home of Ida Lewis, the
''Grace Darling of America continues
to send forth its friendly light ON the wa
tiers of Newport harbOr and Narragansett
Bay. The only occupants of the bit of
land where the light is located are Ida,
now a mature woman of about forty
years and much broken in health, and her
aged mother. Ida's only brother is mate
of a coasting vessel and absent from home
most of the time. Her only sister, love-
lY girl, died last November. The light is
under the exclusive charge of Ida. The
place is a model of neatness and
comfort. Pictures of the dead sis
ter and ether members of the fam
lily hang upon the walls, while articles
of bric-a-brac are neatly and systematic
ally arranged in various places about the
room. But. few call at the lighthouse
these DAYS and Ida and her mother lead
lonely lives there. Two large Newfound-
outside and keep off intruders during the
night. The grounds comprising the sur
face Of the rock have been fully improved.
The rough places have been platfOrmed
over, and the only spot of earth on the
place has been made into flower garden.
Ida, who draws a larger salary by 5000
than any other shore light-keeper on the
coast, Is also exempted from the new reg
ulatiOn requiring Hght-keepers to wear
uniforms. She has no objection to
the regulation if Uncle Sam would
furnish the uniforms, as he does
for those who enlist in the army. Ida
is probably among the last of the feminine
lighthouse keepers, as the department has
resolved henceforth to confine the appoint
ments wholly to the male GENDER. She
finds no fault with the treatment she has
Vently hopes that she may end her days at
Lime Rock, where she has made an en-
vtable reputation for bravery. She has a
name and place in history and will be re-
melubered long after she has been gath
cred to her fathers.
