Central America.

Yesterday we passed through what
was to all strange phenomenon in the
caribbean Sea. The water all about us
for a long time was red, then it bras ?heG
out in streaks into sca-grcen. For T..
short distance it was green, then deep
blue. <TEe Captain said in the nine
years that he had been sailing on these
waters he had never seen the water red
before, and he was visibly agitated
about it. He took the latitude and
longitude to report on his return. May
81 we came in sight of Little Corn
Island. 1t presented quite Il picturesque
appearance with tho cocOanut and
banana trees growing close to the
waters edge, here and there among the
foliage q little hut or tent peeping
through. That night we reached Blew
fields, 4 small settlement composed
chiefly of natives, there being only five
or six white families in the place. 1t
has fine harbOr, but is up the river
five miles, and we were obliged to an
Choir near the mouth and 60 ashore in a
sail-bOat. The people live in shanties
with matched roofs of cocoa palm, said
ShantieS consisting of one or at most
two rooms, bare floors, or the bare
grounds, and hammocks for beds. Many
of the inhabitants are very black and
others mulattO, some very gOod-lookinS
indeed. They are a very religious peo-
pie. The Moravians have a mission
there and quite good-sized church.
The women and children on Sunday
don their Sunday go-to-meeting clothes,
most of them white and look very neat.
We called on Il white lady, a Mrs. Smith
(the Smiths ave spread as far south as
Central America). She lives in Il neat
place, close to the waters edge. with R
broad piazza across the front and blinds
with very Ia &c Stats on both sides of
the corner room instead of windows.
The breeze sweeps through always dc
lightful and cool She sent out and had
two boys climb a tall cocoanut tree and
get us som" O. the fruit. They Knocked
OFF half-a-doZn and gave me some of
the fresh c"coan milk, which is con-
sidercd Il very nourishing drink. An
other nice drink here is made from the
sour APP green fruit the size of an
orange The inside is boiled. then
strained, swccleucd and cooled, and
makes Il drink similar TO lemonade.
We do not see any lemons in this couu-
try. The lines are used instead.-Cor.

THE EAIn or DEATH.


Death rode through the streets OF a town one
Astridc OF his old horse gaunt and gray;
And the frightened crowd, with hcadiung
Needless OF age, or sex. or creed,
JostIcd each other left and right,
In their haste TO hide frOmthe monsters sight.
Men who had often wished themselves dead,
Turned with the rest and trCmhlingly fed;
The young and the strong, the feeble and old
Over whose heads long years had rolled
The naughty and humble, the gloomy and gay.
Alike all hurricdIy FASTENED away.
Into his mansion the rich man hicd,
barring his gates on the crowd outside;
And claSping his idols with strong right arm,
said to himself: we are free from harm"
Then cautiously pccrcd from IA loo1-hole out,
To Sc what mischief old Death was about.
Outside The panic WAS wild ana high,
None Of III crowd wCr" ready TO die;
But they knew that if death on their steps
should gain.
PIeadings and pray crs would he all in vain.
One OF their number they knew must fall
And who could be spared the best OF all:
"Givc him old Trucman" some one cried
He with his limbs all twisted aside;
Ugly, and old, and crippled is he
Better take him than you or me"
And so. with tear in each sightloSS eye,
Poor old Trucman was left 10 die.
But Death passed on by the fricndlcss old
On past tho feeble who prayed as they ran
And into the rich mans mansion gay,
Needless of bolts, he made his way.
Not that he cared for the glittGring gold.
But he wanted a lamb from the sheltered fold.
Tho rich mans heart stood still with dread
As he heard the invaders terrible tread.
He folded an amulet rich and rare
Round the dainty form of each idol fair,
And Crici with ptfful, pleading breath:
Leave them alone! - they arc mine, o
DCath!'
But Death, with purpose cruelty planned,
On fair young form laid his icy hand:
BathCd the white brow with his own cold dew,
Pressed the lids DER the eyes of blue,
And bore away from the stately hail
The furCst ictol ;hnong them all.
q Death. thv victims man may choose,
And none can tell whom thou wilt refuse.
Youth is not safe from thy terrible power
Gold can not puI chase rcpricNc an hour;
The lofty AMI lnwly. the sad and the ga,
Alike must yicll to thy tcrr bic sway.

Basqucs, Trimmed Skirts Etc.

Ladies with large figures must conine
themselves to smoothly fitted basqueS
and pOlOnaiSCS even for muslin, ging-
hams and percales, Us these need not
add anything TO the apparent size. The
short Marie Antoinette polonaise, with
q plated skirt, either tucked or edged
with embroidery, is Il graceful design
for organizes, lawns and ginghamS
This short bouffant polonaiSe, made
without lining, may lie smoothly fitted
to the figure by darts and side forms
low ov"r the hips, or else the front darts
may he omitted. and Il half-S;lSh of ribbon

UndCr-Hrm seams. and tied in front or
on the left SIDE. In the m ddle and side
form seam, some additional width is
added ON the tOurnurc. the fronts arc

the length is shortened 10y small loops

OF the goods edged with lace, OF
with embroidery. Gathered ilouuces
are more used this season than
they have been for many years,
and are seen in many instances on full
skirts in place of the tucks described.
They arc made straight when of wash
ing materials, and bias when of silk or
WOO. From onc-third to onc-L Slf their
length is added for fulincsS, the Sinner
fabrics requiring most fullnecT The
french fancy this season is to scallOp
the edges of gingham or lawn-flOunces
in ncedle-work done on the material in
button-hole stitching with cotton of the
same color as the ground, or in that of
the figure in the fabric. The more
general fashion here is to use white en-
broidCred and scallOped muslin of the
kind that is sold in bands scallOpcd on
each edge with waves above, or dots,
d ;amondS, or trellscd pattern.
When basque and apron Over-skirt
are preferred 10 a pOlonaise, a pretty
fashion is TO put five OF six narrow
tucks down each front next the button
holes, and TO take up darts between
these tucks. The back has square eff
feet, with p)aits added at the waist-linc,
and is quite short on the sides. When
the turks are not used, the fronts may
have two pieces of embroidery set like
n Pompadour square, with the scallops
inside extending down from the neck,
or else these pieces may be heightened
to outline Il vest. A belt of velvet or
of embroidery is worn with fitted
baSqUes. -Hu3Pcr' BGEUT.

French ana English Detectives.

In England we have curious but
very erroneous idea that il policeman
wears Il suit of plain clothes instead of
his regular uniform lie is fully able 10
find out all about any crime that has
ever been committed. \ greater mis-
take was never made. Not only to the
dangerous classes but to almost
every Londonrr who is anything of an
observer regarding his fellOw-men,
''plain-clOthes' officers, as our de-
tectivcs are called, are actually rs we'll
known as if they wore the helmet, blue
tunic and black leather waiSt-beIt of
the regular policeman. 1t is quite
otherwise in France. A French de-
tective has nothing whatever to do with
serving SUmmOnSCS or warrants. He
never arrests a criminal, but he points
out to the regular police where crimi-
mails are to be found. It is only on very
Iare occasions that he even appears as
witness against prisoner, and when
he docs 50 he assumes for the future
a dress and general appearance quite
unlike what he has hitherto borne. a
French detective who can not disguise
himself in such manner that his old
est friend would not be able TO reccg-
nize him is not deemed worth his salary.
He takes the greatest professional pride
in this art. In word, the French
detectives are the spies sent by
the army of law and order to find out
all about the enemy, that is constantly
waging war against life and property.
In England we have 10 similar set of
men, and what are the consequences?
Why, thatsIInleSs a murlCreT, burglar,
or other offender Is either taken red,
handed, OF leaves behind him some very
plain marks as to who-he -is"orwhere he

The Unfortunate Baggage Gentleman.

An Aged Trunk sat back in the dark
corner of the car and refused to bulge
when the baggage gentleman called
him out. The baggageman in great
wrath advanced and seized the venera-
BILE Saratoga by the handle.
Gently, friend, gently" said the
Trunk, ''that thing you have hold of
was not made to lift by"
But the baggageman gave it Il yank
that pulled it out by the roots, and
then, with violent language, he up
braided the trunk for not holding on.
81 have nothing to do with getting
out this baggage" replied the Aged
Trunk, my sole mission and duty in
life is TO get on the wrong train. Fail
ing in that, l am content merely to go
to the wrong hotel, although l would
prefer to lose my check and get lost en-
tirely. You will find the remaining
handle at the other end"
The baggageman walked around and
caught hold of the surviving handle.
By placing his feet against the end of
the trunk and holding on with both
hands he was able to pull off this one
in three strong pulls. Then the Aged
Trunk closed its eyes, leaned back, and
simply said:
And this is where 1 must get off,
too"
The haggageman wept He had now
to stoop down, put his arms around
that trunk, pick it up bodily, and carry
it to the car-door. lie did SO, but in the
exertion broke mis- back in three places.
He determined that he would not die
so he hurled the now help
less trunk upon the iron-bound trunk
that awaited it. Then, as he heard tho
awful crash that announced the ruin he
had wrought he sank to the floor of the
car, saying:
Il die happy

said, sadly:
''Missed yer tip, Bill"

JOHN GORDON AGAIN GOES TO CROREH'S HALL.
The next morning, when John Gordon
reached the corner of the road at which
stood CToker's Hall, he met on the
! roadway, close tothc house, Il most dis
reputable old man with n wooden leg
and Il red nose. This was Mr. Baggett
or Sergeant Baggctt, rs he was general
" called, and was now known about all
AlcsfOrd to be the husband of Mr.. Whit
tieStaf's housekeeper For news had
got abroad that Mr.. BaggGtt was about
TO claim his wife. Every body knew it be-
fore the inhabitants of Croker'S Hall.
And since yesterday afternoon all
Cookers Hall knew it. He was stand
ing close TO the house, which stood y
little back from the road, between nine
, and ten in the morning, rs drunk ~ a
lord. Though he had only one leg of
the flesh and one of wood, he did not
tumble down, though he hrandished
in the air the stick with which he was
accustomed to dispOrt himself The
Sergeant had come out on tho road
from the ward into which the back-dOOr
of the house opened, and seemed to
John Gordon as though; having been so
far expelled. he was determined 10 be
driven no further. and he was accOmpa-
MED, at distance, 10y his wife. Now,
Timothy Baggrtt," began the unfortu-
nate woman, you may Just take your.
self away out of that, as fast as your
legs can carry YOU, before the police
comes to fetch YOU
My lcgS.f Whoever heard fellow
told Of his lei Is when there was one OF
them woOdcrt And as for tue pcrlice,
l shall want 3ho pcrlice to fetdh my wife
along with MP. | amt a-gO}ng TO stir
out of this place without Mrs, B. I'm
Il hold man, and wants Il woman to look
artCr me. Come along, Mrs. B. Then
he made a motion as though to run af-
ter her, still hrandiShinG the stick. But
she retrcatcd, and he came down, seated
on the pathway by the roadside, IS
though he had only accomplished an in
tended manCuvcr. Give me n drop o.
snnmat, Mrs B., and don't mind if ]
stay here half an hour longer" Then he
laughed loudly, nodding his head mer-
rily at the bystandcrs.
All this happened just as John Cor
don came up to the corner of the road,
from whence, by 4 pathway, turned the
main entrance into Mr.. Whittlcstaff7d
garden. He could but see the drunken,
rel-nosed man, and the old woman.
whom he recognized as Mrs. Whittle-
staff's servant, and crowd of idlers
who followed Sergeant Baggett up to
the scene OF his present exploits. Crok-
cr's Hall was not above mile from the
town, Just where the town was begin,
ming 10 become country, and where the
houses all had gardens belonging to
them, and the larger houses a field OF
two. Yes. sir; master is at homo. If
You please to ring the bell one of the
girls will come out This was said by
Mrs. Baggett, advancing almost over
the body OF her PROSTATE husband.
Drunken brutei" she said, as she
passed him. He only laughed, and
looked around upon the bvstanders
with triumph.
