IL was the fourth night after our ship
wreck in the Cestos bay, on the 23d of July,
1885. and the two old masts of the poor old
Corisco stood gauntly up against the red
sunset out of the sullen waters that had en-
quilted her hull, while the few shreds of
rigging that had escaped the plundering

ing around the wreck like gadtlies all day
long, looked unpleasantly like strips OF
flesh dangling around halfpicked skele-

But even with this dreary mcmento be-

chance OF escape from the swamps and
jungles of this deadly region was the pos

DEER AND PANTHERs.-We noted the
other day, says Forest and Stream. the in
adequacy of the bounty on panthers in New
York The reward is not sufficient to in
duce hunters to undertake the arduous
pursuit of the beast The panther is
constant factor in the destruction of Adj
rondack deer. For the sake of the deer
supply, the panthers, should be system
atically pursued and destroyed, and the
bounty should be such as to encourage
this. In Vermont, a few years ago, num-
Der of deer were put out in the mountains,
and for their protection law was passed
which provided that none should be killed
before November, 1880. This time has
since been extended TO 1890. The deer
have increased and multiplied. The law
has been well observed. We know of but
one instance where it was violated. That
was the case of the fox hunters who started
a deer on Sutton Mountain, and after a
long chase finally killed it, But with the
new stock of deer has come new stock of
panthers, and the prospects are that the
| panthers will prove too much for the deer.
| The Vermont panther bounty IL The same
as that Of New York. SO. That might
! easily be increased.

The tide flows up. the tide flows down:
The water brims the creek, and falls;
A cottage weather. stained and brown
Lifts at the brink It's time worn walls.
Beneath the lowly window sill
A little bank Of blossoms gay
The wandering air with fragrance fill
sweeten the night and charm the day.
The tide flows up the tide flows down;
From the low windows humble square
A woman in faded gown,
With care-dimmed eyes and tangled hair.
Looks out across the smiling space
Where golden stars and suns unfold
Blue larkspur, the pied pansy's face,
SasturtiuIn bells of scarlet bold.
She sees them not. nor cares, nor knows
mans rough figure, noon and night
And morning. DER the threshold goes;
No sense has he for their delight
The tide flows up, the tide flows down;
In that dull house little maid
Lives lonely, under fortunes frown
A life unchildlike.and afraid.
To her that tiny garden plot
Means Heaven. She comes at eve TO stand
Mid mallOw aud forgct-mc-not
And marigolds on either hand.
They look at her with brilliant eyes,
Their scent Is greeting and cares;
They spread their rich and glowing dyes
Her saddened soul to cheer and bless.

INTERESTING RELIc.--We extract the fol-
lowing from the Monterey argus of octo-
Der 24th;
After Mexico declared her independence
of Spanish rule Governor Pablo Vicente De
Sofa summoned council of the principal
military officials and church dignitaries at
Monterey, and it was decided that hence
forth California was subject to Mexico
alone. In furtherance of this scheme, on
the 18th of September, 1884 Hijar. Director
of Colonization, arrived a. Monterey on
the brig Natalia, for the purpose of secu-
larizing the missions. During heavy
storm which occurred soon after her arrival

a Family of Hermits.

| A remarkable case of hermitage was dis
covered to-day by the health officers. In
an unpretentious residence on Blocker
street there has resided for n number
OF years n family by the name of
| Figee. The blinds have been securely
| fastened, and, as the neighbors have
never seen any of the inmates, no one
knew Of what the family consisted. 1t
was thought, however, that only the
man and his wife were inhabitants OF
the place. The manifest seclusion Of the
family occasioned the greatest interest in
the neighborhood, and a number of plans
were laid TO compel the man or his
wife to show themselves. Every plan was
fruitleSs, and not person in the neighbor-
hood ever saw the family or presence
OF either. number of philanthropic citi-
zens have called at the residence to in
quire if the inmates did not desire some
aid. In every instance they were an
swered by voice proceeding through
hole in the door, thanking them, but de-
Ginning assistance.
To-day the Health Officers called, and
they were refused admittance. They stated
that they were compelled to look into the
sanitary condition of the house. After
great deal of hesitation the door was opened.
The officers entered large room, well fur
nished, the only light entering through the
door, which had been left open. The her
init, who stood before them, appeared to be
a man about45 years Of age, OF pleasant adj
dress and dressed in a neat suit of
clothes. Upon entering the next room
the officers discovered a mother, sur
rounded by seven children, the Oldest a
boy about 70 years Of age. They were scat
tered in various parts of the room and
huddled together like frightened sheep
when the officers entered. The mother
was well dressed, and gave very intelligent
answers to all the questions asked
1t was developed that the man and wife
had resided there for number of years,
rearing and educating their family. The
husband spent most of his time locked up
in bedroom. The rooms were always
dark, and the children never permitted to
go into the yard or streets or be seen
by any one. 1t is thought that the eld-
est boy brings all the food into the
house before daylight in the morning
and after dark late in the evening. In re-
ply to the question as to what means he
had, the man answered that he was rich
and had everything he wanted, and that he
and his family only wished to be left alone
The house was neat and clean in every re-
spect.- Cleveland Leader.

GREAT GUNS.
Many Tons OF Metal Poured Into nj
Enormous Mold.
unidentified.

Enormous Mold.
Bosros, October 16th.-The third at
tempt was made at the South Boston Iron
Works this morning TO cast the great 5i-ton
breech- loading rife gun ordered by the
Government, with what success is as vet
uncertain. The foundry was lighted
brightly, IA the white masses of flame in
the three furnaces cast their glare outside
the CRATES. One hundred and five tons Of
iron had been melting since Q o'clock last
night. From each furnace ran u long
trough. through which the iron was to flow
TO the center of the building, where a
receptacle was prepared to receive it.
From this receptacle two troughs led 10
the pit close by, in which the great
mold was erected. The gun is to be n
breech-l loading rifle with steel tube. It's
length will be 30 feet, and its diameter 2
feet at the muzzle and 5 feet at the breech.
The bore is II inches. and the gun is ex-
pected to carry charge of 265 pounds Of
powder, capable Of projecting 800 pounds.
The pit was dug in the ground over 40
feet in depth, with diameter of II feet.
This was lined with boiler-iron TO keep the
whole pit water-tight. Inside this boiler
iron a heavy brick wall was laid, making a
huge well. In this pit was suspended a
mold Of the gun, muzzle end down, which
bottom. A core arbor ran through the
center Of the mold to form the bore Of the
gun. The rough casting will be nearly
eight feet longer than the finished gun. In
the top of the mold were holes, and at in
tervals down the sides were openings into
which the molten iron could be poured.
The foreman gave his order at l2:f5 p. ~,
and his assistants at the furnaces seized
long iron pipes and began an onslaught on
the covering to the holes which were to let
out the seething iron. Suddenly loud
noise was heard like the discharge of a
small cannon. 1t scared the crowd but
didn't affect the workmen. After n dozen
punches Mt the opening of furnace No. 9,
IL was broken open and stream Of white
hot iron slowly coursed down the trough.
AS the aperture was enlarged the mass Of
metal began 10 flow faster and dashed
along sending up a shower Of brilliant
stars. Then the other two furnaces started
their streams. There was general rush
forward to gaze down into the pit. Each
man held his hat before his face to ward off
the heat, and cast one glance ut the flowing
mass of metal far below. retiring in a few
seconds with very red features.
For twenty-five minutes this scene con
tinued and suddenly there was "a burst of
flame reaching almost TO the roof. The
'HI'io Pi' Wa' eHf.ioPeu !" name. Inc
spectators iell back but did not leave the
building, Ihey thought 1t was all proper
part OF the exhibition; but the anxious
looks OF the workmen soon showed the
contrary. lieutenant Borap, after few
moments, called out Stand back there !
You mad better all go outside Nearly
everybody acted upon this suggestion. A
stream Of water was pouring into the cen
ter of the mold where the core arbor oc-
cupled the bore OF the cannon. This was

became total wreck. Atyery low tide the
outlines Of the hull may yet be traced by
the clinging seaweed and after stormy
weather pieces Of the old planking, torn
loose by the surging mass Of seaweed, come
ashore, and are carefully gathered up by
curiosity hunters. Notwithstanding its
fifty-one years burial in salt water and in
sand, and exposure to the rayages of the
toredo samalvas, most of the specimens
that come ashore are in pretty good state
Of preservation. The planking Of the Ma

bottomed: Several good specimens came

THE BELLS OF THE SOUL.

Within each curtniued heart bell
With golden voice aloit is hung;
'Tis said its tones more richly swell
In hearts that are no longer young.
They gently mark the flight OF years
That pass on joyous pinions by;
On youthful hearts and careless ears
The echoes all UNDECIDED die.
But borne along Times onward roll,
We catch mufiled minor strain,
Till through the chambers of the soul
More clearly rings the sad refrain.
The bells ring low when lovers part,
And have a hope 20 meet again;
But when love dies they rend the heart
With throbs of agonizing pain.
Ger ocean depths from distant lands
BY gentlest touch these bells are rung
And yet anon by shadowy hands
Across the grave the cords are swung.
For friends departing bear them bound
To other bella within their hearts;
And so their knells more loudly sound
As one by one our loved departs.
Oh, wondrous poweri Oh, magic belll
That vibrates through each human soul;
Its secret meetings none may tell
No hand its mystery unrol.
But in the land OF life and light,
Attuned in symphony sublime,
These mystic bells may all unite
In one grand harmony of chime.

The Hand-Grasp of the Various
Nations and Some Public People

The Scotch hand-grasp is the rough
est; the Frenchman shakes hands with
the tips of stiffened and drawn-together
fingers, which signifies that he walls
himself around with p~oliteness as with
q fortress, to keep off intruders. Never
expect anything. Of a person who shakes
a soft hand in a limp way. I-have had
a wide experience of false cordially,
which was betrayed by "old soldiers"
who, in battering through hotels and
boarding-houses, huve lost all woman
hood, by hardened diplomatists, by per-
sons thankful for past favors and hop.
ing for fayors to come, and by exhibit
ors at universal exhibitions wanting
puffs. An Italian, who, in all cases,
tries to hide his little game, hates to
offer his hand. To avoid doing so,
when he meets an Englishman, he rubs
both his hands slowly together, as if
washing them. An enthusiast about
ideas, principles and systems rarely puts
cordially into a handshake.
Theirs hand-shake, though brusque
and dry, was not unpleasant. That of
Gambetta contrasted with his apparent
openness and heartiness, and did not
express character. Clemenceau's is
nervous and rapid, and with a friend
very friendly. Grevy scans your face
in q good-humored way in holding
your hand. Madame Adams hand.
shake is that of a fearless and amiable
woman who wants to make O conquest
of every man, woman and child she
meets. 1t is counted improper for q
French miss In her teens to offer so
much as the tips of her fingers, wheth-
er they are gloved or not, to a gentle
man. The French lady shakes hands
in a pussy-cat style, and the German
frau in an honest. simple, motherly
fashion. Victor Hugo does SO in the
manner Of q grandiose statue, into
which, as into Galatea, the breath of
life has been breathed. When he has
to do with q lady he, with Olympian
majesty, tempered by chivalrous feeling,
takes her hand slowly, gravely, and
kindly, and, after holding it to his lips,
lowers it to a level where it was when
he raised it.--London Truth.
