Wreckers of Hatteras Coast.

fourteen miles off shore. To my surprise
the thread was intact. The whistle had
been unscrewed and quietly dropped over
board ia six or eight fathoms Of water.
A Government detective was sent down
and stayed for weeks among the fisher
men along the beach, but he did not un-
earth any clue to the perpetrator, and
the reward of S400 that was offered for
the recovery Of the whistle and informa-
tion leading TO the conviction of the mis-
creant who removed It was alike inoper-
ative. This lens. which throws the light
for distance around, was removed just
previous to the la't storm, and was no
doubt done In the hope that the beach
would be strewn with wrecks. This
beacon. you must recolltct, is only II
quarter of mile from the southern ex-
tremity of Cape Ilatieras point and is
used by coasting vessels as guide
through the Slue channel--a dangerous
bit Of navigation. But the scoundels

A Railway Ladder.


Marshall Pass, by which the main
range Of the Rockies is crossed, is a
great railway ladder. ! do not propose
to describe it-a whole article by itself
would be needed for that. At its foot
you are 5000 feet above the sea level; at
its summit you are 10000; yet on either
side weather-beaten peaks rise nearly
1000 feet above your head. II you will
carelessly toss a cord down upon the
floor toniy guarding against its making
any crossed loops) you will have fair
idea Of the way the track runs here. II
il always n steep grade upward,
but then 10 attain the regularity OF
ascent the train must go away up to the
head OF the deep indentations, and skirt
the outermost rim of the headlands.
There are no tunnels, except the sem.
biance made by the long snowsheds; few
deep cuttings or bridges. II is simply a
winding trail, accomplishing, by many
and devious turnings, the required as
cent Of 2l7 feet 10 the mile. shown by
Q straight line on the profile from the
Arkansas plains to the summit Of the
pass, and down again to the valley Of
the Tomichi on the western side. Some.
times you can look out OF tho window
at two or three tracks below and two
or three more above-the steps you
have come and those which re-
main; but intervening links are in
visible, and you wonder how you are to
attain those SUCCESSFULLY higher levels
From one spot on the western slope six
OF tllese tracks are seen at once down the
opening made by q great ravine which
the road crosses and recrosses This
side il a Kaleidoscope OF far-reaching
views, changing with each moment, for
your headlight turns to every point OF
the compass In Its doublings; and while
yon admire the sky kissed heights above,
you may turn aud trembe at the awful
depths just below. 1t Is n railway in

Closed Out Business.

Had you heard that Blinker's shoe
business was to be closed out?" asked
Smallman of Pillscoat the other day.
mo. You astonish me. What is
ups l thonght Blinker was one of the
most solid and capoble business men in
Bloomington"
THAT is what everybody thought, but
. sort of medical council was held at his
store this morning, and he was pro-
nodnced absolutely incapable of contin.
uing his trade. Why, he cannot even
sign his name any more"
'Is it possible always suspected that
he WAS little weak"
"Yes, he is totally incompetent. He
cannst tell twenty dollar gold piece
from q copper cent"
"Gracious! What is the matter with
the man, have half expected his mind
was deranged for some time; but tell me
what ails him!'
"He is Dead" Smallman solemnly re.
piled, and then Pillscoat began to realize
he had been led into making an ass Of
himself.

A Letter of the Poet Keats.

In one Of the letters to his sister he
says, expressing a momentary high feel.
ing: "Oh, there is nothing like fine
weather and health, and books, and a
fine country, and a contented mind, and
diligent habits of reading and thinking,
and an amulet against the enemies, and,
please heaven, little claret wine out of
cellar a mile deep-with few, or a
good many, rataiia cakes--a rocky basin
to bathe in;" and he enunciates much
else, tapering off into series of rollick-
Ing whins, and ending with about thir-
ty.six lines Of doggerel rhyme. But
Keats always had u breezy way OF
ratiling off his wishes and feelings in
his correspondence, of which we will
give but one more sample. 1t is from
one of the letters to his sister written
from Winchester. He says; 81 should
like now to promenade round your gar
dens (sl-apple tasting-pear tasting
plum judging-aprico nibbling peach
scrunching = nectarine sucking - and
melon carving. | have also a great
feeling for antiquated cherries. full of
sugar -cracks--and white currant tree
kept for company. | .dmired lolling on
lawn by water.lilied pond, to eat
white currants and see goldfish; and go

There is not hope for that--one is sure
to get in some mess before evening. -
