ment were chosen for the execution,
eight of whom stood in front and six
at the back. At sign the forward
eight moved silently to about five steps
from Misdea, while the reserve six
stood at ten steps from the first. Then
came moment of intense silence, then
at sign, the soldiers fired. Death was
instantaneous. Six balls had entered
the head, two the back. The body fell
forward, dragging the chair with it.
The chaplain tainted. 1t was i'm
possible to examine the skull, it being
completely fractured. The night be-
fore his execution Misdea wrote most
affectionate letter to hfs mother. In
the opinion of many this execution
was as great a crime as Misdea's. L
understand that this extreme rigor
has been shown Misdea because there
has been SO many cases of crime and
insubordination in the army, and it is
hoped that this terrible example may
have a salutary effect on the army In
general.

1t was in the year 1870 that Nicho
Allen first discovered anthracite coal in
Pennsylvania. The stories and tradi-
tions that have been banded down
about Allen show him to have been
kind of Pennsylvania Rip Van VIM
kle, lie had come down from the
Lake Champlain lumber region and
opened an inn on the summit of the
Broad Mountain. For time he led
vagabond existence, hunting, fishing
and numbering, while his wife attended
to the wants of thirsty travellers. In
one of his hunting excursions he camp
ed out at the foot OF the Broad Noun
tain at spot where a coal vein crop
ped out, and upon lighting a fire was
astonished at the intense heat it threw
off. He also saw that some of the black
stone had become red hot, He dug up
some of it and carried it home, when
his wife, more practical than himself,
pronounced it coal. They saw the coal
crop out in abundance, and visions Of
fortunes that might be realized out Of
of 1t flashed through their minds stimuli
taneously. So, disposiug of their effcts,
they loaded two large covered wagons
with the coal and set out for Philadel-
phia with the intention of marketing it
there and discovering its true value.
They drove along the banks of the
Schuylkill, sleeping in the open air at
night. At Pottstown three of their
horses died, and the coal was dumped
into the river. Wearied and disheart-
ened, the pair returned to the old place
at the summit of the mountain, and
shortly afterward Nicho laid his faith
full wife to rest over the coal vein that
had proved their ruin, and turned his
face toward the land of the setting sun,
where he fell beneath the tomahawls
of Tecumseh's braves while fighting
with Harrison's army in the battle of
Tippecanoe. The discovery he made
was forgotten for 30 years, when the
story of his life being revived rush
was made to the mountain regions.
The superiority of anthracite coal was
demonstrated, and soon the region
teemed with spectators and prospect
Ors.

In the middle ages, locks for church
and cathedral doors were often rare
specimens of art metal work. Elab-
crate scrolls, the images Of saints, and
other ambitious efforts of the true ar
tisan of those days, entered into the
design of locks which were really an
ornament to the magnificent doors and
cabinets of those times. A design for
the escutcheon surrounding the keyhole
frequently had the figures Of two guar
dian angels with outspread wings.
Locks of very curious construction,
known as "Apostle locks" were also
common in medi@val times. These
locks had on the front the figure of one
of the Apostles, and on touching the
hand of the figure the bolts flew back.
In the reign of Queen Elizabeth, one
Mark Scalist, smith, constructed
lock consisting Of eleven pieces of iron,
steel and brass, all of which, with pipe
key, weighed only two grains of gold
That great inventor, the Marquis of
Worcester, who flourished in the reign
King Charles l., devised lock con-
tanning steel barb, which was per-
fectly harmless so long as the right key
was used, but if wrong key were in
serted the barb sprang through the key
hole and ''caught the hand of the in
truder as trap catches a fox" 1t is
said that while the inventor was exper-
Imenting with this curious lock he was
scarcely nimble enough in removing
his hand, and was caught in his own
trap. At Willenhall, in Staffordshire,
which is great seat of the lock trade,
silver padlocks, the sides OF which are
much smaller than three-penny piece
are still made and are quite perfect in
their mechanism. Locks containing
single bells and even chimes, which
sound an alarm when tampered with
by false key, are among the modern
curiosities of the trade. Common pad
locks are largely made for the natives
of India and Africa at Walsall. A
lock and key complete are sold by the
maker for halfpenny, and merchants
abroad state that many of the natives
string these locks together so as to form
necklets, and wear them as ''charms." "

Green Tea.

China's export of green tea
to Great Britain last year was about
100000 pounds more than the previous
season, while only II, 100000 pounds
were sent to this country, against 49,
100000 in 1882. This latter falling off
is probably due to the act recently pass
ed by Congress prohibiting the importa-
tion of adulterated teas. A recent
report made by the Chinese custom
house also shows falling off in the i'm
portation of all cotton goods, except
American drills, which are said to be
pushing English drills out of the mar
ket. The English, however are send
ing better sheetings to China than we
are, and they thus succeed in keeping
ahead of the Americans selling them
in China the past year.

NUMBER "a.
Bangor's Golden Slippers.

Everybody in Mains is familiar wi
the baggy, yellow boots and shoes call
ed moccasins, which in winter form
the favorite footwear of our lumbermen
and farmers. These unique boots
have history which dates back to the
middle of the century.
The material is common leather, but
tanned in peculiar way. The princi-
pal ingredients in the tanning are salt
and alum, with a kind of oil. The
method is something of a secret known
to but few.
Leather thus tanned was first used
as lacing for mill belts. 1t was some
time before It's utility as boot and shoe
material was discovered. In 1851 E.
p. Baldwin, who kept a shoe shop in
Bangor, obtained some of the leather
from Pawtucket, and began the man
ufacture of the moccasln. In 1852 the
business had increased considerably in
Bangor, and a manufactory was started
in Oldtown. The work in those days
was quite crude, and far behind that
of to-day in style and finish. In
1856 another factory was started at
Bangor, and from this establishment
was sent the first pair of moccasins that
ever went west to Dubuque. Trade
was very prosperous until the opening
Of the rebellion. Then the business
languished, but in 1868 became estab-
lished upon permanent basis.
| In 1871 the mode of moccasin manu-
facture was Tevolutionized by the adj
vent of improved machinery and new
ideas. The cut Of the leg was altered
80 as to bring the seam, upon the side
instead of at the back, and the seam
which formerly made an uncomfortable
ridge in the leg, was superseded by the
Hat lap seam, Much of the sewing IS
let out at so much dozen pairs to
French Canadian families, who live in
the suburbs. The larger part Of the
stock still comes from Rhode Island,
but Bangor is the great centre of the
moccasin manufacture, as many pairs
being made here, probably, as in all
other places combined. At Red Wing
and st. Paul, Mimi, and Racine, Wis,
the manufacture is quite extensively
carried on, and it is from these places
that Bangor encounters the strongest
competition. Over 800 people are em-
ployed here, and the production, which
in 1881 was $4,000 pairs Of boots and
/ IL. 4.

manners In Sleeping Cars.

An observing person who has reason
to travel much In sleeping cars must
have been frequently moved by the
lack of reasonableness on the part of
travellers and officials. In some meas
ure to repair this deficiency and rem
der summer touring more restful and
comfortable the following hints are
thrown out:
To the conductor Sell the same
berth TO several persons, and let them
Fight it out as to who shall occupy it.
BE noisy, important, supercihous, in
considerate; act as if you owned the
car. This will make everybody feel
happy and safe.
To the porter Keep the toiiet-rooms
unclean and do not supply more than
one towel for three persons. If a pas
senger departs from the coach during
the small hours at night, call him up so
loudly and repeatedly that no one Will
remain asleep. If the weather be
warm, keep the fire going lively. If it
be cold, see to it that the fire goes out.
If there be good supply of dust and
cinders, arrange the ventllators so as to
let in as much as possible. In summer
be scrupulously careful not to ice the
drinking water. If party of Boston
teachers, coming out to see the great
West for the first time, get up at A
o'clock in the morning, make up their
sections with so much fuss and such
desperate slammlng and banging as to
awaken all the other passengers. This
will insure that their waking thoughts
shall be prayerful, especially after you
tell them that the train will be four
hours late reaching its destination.
To travellers, especially from "the
cultured East" to "the rowdy West" /:
Act as fyou owned the car from the
start. Your superior breeding will
thus be established, and no one will
question it thereafter. Talk loudly,
especially about the private and per-
sonal affairs of absent and unknown
people. Be sure to use slang so as to
escape the suspicion of being intellect
ual dudes. Monopolize the toilet
rooms. Give orders to the conductor
and porter in such style as will demon
strate that the emancipation proclama-
ton had no reference to white trash OF
to colored folks whom you may happen
to command. Put your feet up on the
the cushions of the seats, especially if
you have pretty boot. 1t will not be
seen otherwise. If you cannot sleep
during the night complain so noisily as
1 to have plenty Of company. Get up at
1880 in the morning, 'just to see the
wild West' and arouse your travelling
companions. Maintain an incessant
and boisterous conversation so as to
compel all the other passengers to get
up, or at least to lie awake when they
should be all asleep. Sheer at every
thing you cannot laugh at. Demon
strate in all these ways the superiority
of ''the cultured East" over "the row.
dy West, )" and you will add inestima-
bly, to the enjoyment and happiness of
summer travellers.

The City of Orizaba, with its $1,000
to 10000 inhabitants, looks poor, in
rather unpleasant contrast with the rich
verdure which surrounds it, wanders
up the banks Of the pretty branch of
the Rio Blanco which flows through it,
and even stands forth in its paved
streets. But it is well worth seeing for
its tropical products. Behind the
town rises dome-shaped mountain,
which obscures the Peak of Orizaba-
the beacon of mariners approaching
Vera Cruz, although it stands 100
miles from the Gulf. Close to the city
on the south appears a loftier height,
cloud-topped during the whole of my
stay in Orizaba, and prominent object
in the eastern horizon from the edge of
the plateau beyond Esperanza. There
are two or three second-rate hotels in
Orizaba, but at any rate preferable for
stopping place to those in fever-infeo-
ted Vera Cruz. Nearly every roof in
Orizaba is made of red tiles, whose ap-
pearance is novel for Mexico and also
not little attractive. The stream is
spanned by several handsome and sub
stantial stone arch bridges. No Span
ish public works in Mexico are more
noteworthy than that of the bridges.
Many of them might almost have been
brought from Spain bodily, so closely
do they resemble the arches with which
travellers in the mother country are
familiar. The railway has handsome
modern station at Orizaba, and tram
cars run to the principal street, on
which the hotels are situated.

The Gamblers Were Driven out.

Four Sayoyard chimney sweepers at
Toulouse, in 1851, having finished
everything In the way of their profess
sion, and not having a penny left, took
a resolution to enlist for soldiers. Ac-
cordingly they received ten Luis-d'ors
each, but the officer thought it neces-
sary, by way OF precaution, to lock them
in kitchen with some flagons of wine.
AS long as the liquor lasted they were
quiet enough, but when exhausted they
began to think of making their escape.
They were not long in settling that
point. There was large chimney be-
fore them, which they mounted with
their usual dexterlty, and being fairly
got to the top, they held council,
when it was unanimously resolved to
go down another chimney. In going
down the first tumbled into great fire,
out Of which he jumped covered with
SCOT, followed by his three companions.
The place happened to be gaming
house, and the company, taking these
adventurers for so many devils, ran
down stairs as fast as they could, leav-
ing their money, to the amount of 49,
900 livres, behind them. This the Say
oyards seized, and in an instant re-
mounted the chimney, running over
the tops of the houses, and descended
again into their apartment, Just as the
officer opened the door with some pro-
visions. They offered him his money
again, with handsome profit, which
he accepted, and they returned to their
country thus enriched, and highly de-
lighted with the adventure.

Min Allah,

Such of the Egyptian peasants
as have received some little culture
know that the waters of the Nile come
from the Gland of the dark menu
from the mountains of Abyssinia, In
the year 1874, at the time of the war
with Abyssinia, it happened that the
Nile was slow to rise, and the opinion
was expressed that the King of Dabeseh
was fulfilling an ancient threat of
Ethiopian kings to lead off the Nile be-
fore its entrance into the Red Sea. Burt
the inhabitant of the more isolated in
land villages has not even such lights
as these. Should you ask him as to
the Nile and It's origin he would, with a
grateful smile towards heaven, answer,
simply, "Min Allah ~ that is from
God, or from haven.

him such warm reception, and her

Of the old one, and to recount to
amused listeners, long after the war,
her story of Governor Tryon's recep-

sLANDER.

Twas but a breath
And yet the fair good name was wilted,
And friends once fond grew cold and stilted
And life was worse than death.
One venomed word,
That struck its coward, poisoned blow,
In craven whispers, hushed and low
And yet the wide world heard.
Twas but one whisper-one,
That muttered low, for very shame,
The thing the slanderer dare not name
And yet it work was done.

And yet 80 mighty in its power,
A human soul in one short hour
Lies crushed beneath its blastl

A Curious Relic.

There is a curious relic of Gustavus
Adolphus in the possession of private
family at Augsburg. tits an embroid-
cred collar, said to have been worn by
the King at ball, and now kept in
glass, together with the following note:
-s'This collar has been worn by Gus
tavus Adolphus, King of Sweden, and
was given as a keepsake to my beloved
wife, Jakobina LAUDER, who, at the
time of the Kings sojourn in this town,
was the most beautiful among the mai
dens. His Majesty deigned to dance
several times with her, but on his be-
coming too familiar she 'collared' him,
and as a reward for this act of valor re-
ceived the collar he wore that night. "
