CAST UP BY THE SEA.
Romance of the Waif Who Became
Hamilton Fish.

Newark Sunday Call.
The attainments, exalted character
and craftsmanship of Gen. Grants late
Secretary of State, Hon Hamilton Fish,
are so indisputable as to presuppose a
long line of honored ancestry. Yet that
honored gentleman's career began in i'm
penetrable obscurity. Not even his cor
rect name, birthplace or origin are or
probably ever will be known. 1t was
before the time of signal service or life
stations that a vessel was wrecked in a
terrible gale on the Jersey coast, at q
point exactly south in the air line from
the city of Newark. When the wreck
ers arrived, vessel, cargo, crew and pas
sengers were beyond human aid. Dead
bodies were washed ashore amid frag-
ments of the wreck.
Among the supposed victims was the
body of an infant which almost miracu-
lously appeared to show signs of life.
Restoratives were applied and it was re-
suscitated 1t throve and grew, and
being adopted by some fisherman was
called in honor of its resurrection from
the waves preserved Fish" No clue to
its parentage could ever be obtained. 1t
appeared plainly of Anglo-Saxon origin !;
but of what nationality or condition in
life has never to this hour been discov-
cred. The boy finally entered ship

craft and in time became Gen. Grants
premier. While nothing absolutely is
known as to the origin of the family, yet

robed when rescued from the waves in
dicated wealth and presumably noble
birth. The irrepressible tendency of both
father and son to rise to exalted posi-
tons. which tendency is illustrated also
in the remarkable case at first referred
to- furnishes additional evidence of the
fallacy of the declaration, so far as it re-
lates to intellectual status, that "all

A Curious Electric Freak.

Chicago Journal
Quite curious freak of an electric
character occurred in the telegraph de-
partment of this office the other day. A
package of lead pencils bound with a
paper band were lying between two of
the telegraph keys. All at once the tele-
grapher noticed a small spark coming
from this paper band. The sight was a
novel one to him and he called in an
other member of the staff to witness it.
They watched it for a minute or two
and satisfied themselves that if left as it
was it would soon cause a blaze, and the
package was removed. This goes TO
show how fire might possibly occur
and its origin never be explained.

Merchants Who Thought They Were
Being Robbed ofTheir Goods.
New York Journal.
The members Of a large dry-goods
| house in Broadway recently sent to de-
tective and told him that they suspected
they were being robbed by the foreman
Of their salesroom. Detective Fuller put
several men on the case, who bought
! thousands of yards of goods of the sus-
peCted foreman. No report of the pur-
chases was made to the firm by the fore
man. The members of the firm wished
to have the man arrested. The detective
demuTed.
"Why not prosecute him ?" asked the
! merchants.
Because he is not stealing goods" re-
piled the detective.
"How can that be-" said the mer-
chants. did you not buy goods here !?
Did you not pay for them: Aud were
not the sales kept from us and no money
ever paid to us:'
Il will tell you how it is, replied the
detective. 1.-The man is stealing your
customers. He does this by the aid of a
confederate"
How"
"A customer enters your store, looks
at samples, and buys aquantity of goods.
The customer then leaves. The foreman
sends his confederate to a factory with a
correct sample. The man buys az many
yards of goods as the customer has or
dered and delivers them to him, as if
they came from the store. The foreman
and his confederate buy these goods at
| the factory with their own money and
make the ordinary profit on them. They
make sales in your store and substitute
their goods for yours in delivering the
cloth sold You cannet arrest them for
stealing your customers.
The foreman was questioned and adj
mitted that the shrewd detective had
fathomed his method. He showed bills
of sale which he had received from the
| factory.

Boston Transcript
A machine has been patented which
promises to render the torpedo still more
effective. Hitherto there has always
been great element of uncertainty in
the action of marine explosives, and not
unfrequently they have completely falsi-
fed the calculation of those who have
employed them. The torpedo has, in
deed, sometimes proved more destruc-
tive to those who used it than to the enc
my against whom it was directed. The
new machine is called the torpedo
guide" and it is claimed that it can con-
troll, with absolute certainly, the action
of the explosive at distance of three
miles.
AS the torpedo is launched on its er-
rand of destruction, thin insulated wire
is put off, and, as the wire Immediately
sinks, communication cannot be destroy
ed by the enemy. The operator controls
the movements of the torpedo by trans
mitting negative or positive current Of
electricity, and the guide" is so con-
stTucted that the attack can be directed
to any given point with mathematical
precision. Even if the ship from which
the torpedo proceeded were moving in
one direction, and the vessel attacked in
another, the torpedo could still be en-
| ployed, with deadly certainty.
