meet of justice, writes "Sub Rosa" in
The Washington Capital, he asked only
one favor of his successor, and that was
to retain certain lady clerk. He gave
his reasons why, and they contain mater
ial for a romance. When he was young
er man, he said, he was very much in
love with a girl who refused to marry
him, presumably because of the dis6g-
urement of his face. She gave no reason,
but he always supposed that was her
objection to him. She married someone
else, and he lost sight of her until soon
after he became attorney general, when
he received letter from his old love
congratulating him upon his appointment.
He answered the letter with an inquiry
as to her circumstances and condition in
life. She replied that she was a widow
with small income, but many and pleas.

rendered her position in the depart
ment of justice, which she accepted, and
which Atty. Gen. Garland has assured
her she will retain as long as he is in
authority.

LOST MARYLAND CITY.

One hundred years ago there were six
thousand residents in st. Mary's City,
Md. To-day there are two houses here.
One is an Episcopal church, and the
other is prosperous female academy.
st. Mary's City is in st. Mary's county,
in the southern part of the state. 1t is
pleasantly situated on the st. Mary's
river, branch of the Potomac. Last
summer st. Mary's City celebrated its
250th anniversary. 1t was at st. Mary
City that Lord Baltimore and his party
landed when he settled Maryland. To-
day there is but one family residing here.
During the school season there are about
fifty young ladies here. There are but
few signs of the lost city. Here and
there, there are yet to be seen traces of
the foundation walls of the little city that
was; but even these are about obliterated.
At this place was built the first state
house in Maryland. Years afterward
Annapolis was made the capital. The
outlines of the old state house are still
visible. Many of the imported bricks,
which came from England, were used in
the construction of the church that was
built many years after the capital was
changed to Annapolis. Others were used
in building the Academy. Imported
bricks were used in the construction of
many of the original houses in this
country. They are about one third long
err, half-inch wider, and a half inch
thicker than the modern made brick.
They are also much harder, and have
more the appearance of stone than the
red clay brick which is now in use. i.
The mulberry tree under which Lord
Baltimore offered prayer upon his arrival,
81 years ago, still stands, though great
many branches have been cut off, from
time to time, to be worked up in canes
and other relics, so dear to Marylanders,
as well as to some others.-COr. Hartford

A GAMBLERS FIND.

HOW "DEALER" FELT ON PICKING UP A
$1,000 BILL.
Talking about finding money!" said
Old Sport, ''would you believe me if [
told you found 81, 900 one time ?"
"No; but tell it, anyhow"
"It was in Washington, Dee See. The
occasion was the Inauguration of Grant,
and there were 100000 people in the
streets. I saw small green thing lying
on the pavement, and something prompt
ed me to pick it up. Ordinarily
wouldn't stop to pick up things on the
street, but this time thought I'd chance
it. After picking the green thing up l
thought it was patent medicine ad-
vertisement, and was on the point of
throwing it away, but l wasn't very busy
Just then, so l unrolled it, and when [
saw it was 81, 900 bill l was scared to
death. Il was dealing bank then, and /
didn't know what to do with the find,
because l couldn't take up any excuse for
the possession of so much of the filthy.
The main guy would swear that l was
holding out on him, and there would be
the devil to pay; and you can bet it
would take the whole of the 81 900 to
pay him. So l took the bill to my
boarding house and stuck it between the
covering of my trunk and the outside.
l looked at the paper for several days,
but couldn't see any advertisement for
lost $1,000 bill. / didn't dare get it
changed in Washington. because it would
soon be noised around that had big
roll, and the Snap would be given away.
Each day I would reoonnoiter around the
old trunk to sec If the bill was safe, and
I'd change her from place to place. The
fact that the loss was not advertised led
me to suspect that the blooming bill
might be counterfeit, and | was in a
terrible stew. But held on to it. One
day l went over to New York and took
the bill with me. At last | screwed up
my courage to slap the bill down on the
counter of bank, and asked TO have it
changed. The dealer, or rather cashier,
grabbed it up and squinted all oyer both
sides of it, and imagined everybody in
the world was looking at me. Mind you,
this was three months after had found
the bill: After cycling the bill for few
seconds the cashier laid it aside, and I
didn't know whether he was going to set
the dog on me or what; but he ciinched
on to fistful of $50 bills and counted
out twenty of them which he handed to
me. So that was all right. Well, felt
pretty gay, and went down to Sandy
Hook, and from there to Long Branch,
then back to New York, over to Phila-
delphia, and once more to Washington.
That night l played faro and got broke. !"

OBEAHISM.
A JAMAICA INDUSTRY MORE PROFITABLE
THAN sUCAR REFINING

A JAMAICA INDUSTRY MORE PROFITABLE
THAN SUGAR REFINING.
While visiting prominent lawyer 10
Kingston, writes correspondent of The
San Francisco Chronicle, was struck
by the extraordinary actions of colored
servant, who, instead of entering boldly
through the middle of the open door,
skunk close to the posts and along tie
wall of the room, continually looking
over his shoulder as though in dread al
some unseen but formidable power. On
inquiry, found that this man, pro-
fessed Christian, of good education and
fair attainments, believed himself to be
the victim of oheahism,-that is to say,
of witchcraft His master told me that
he was pining away in sheer fright, ana
that unless the spell could be removed,
or. rather, unless he could be assured of
its removal, he would in all probability
die In little while. Although obeahism
is punishable with five years penal SER
vitude, it is widely practiced throughout
Jamaica, and numbers among its believ-
ers are otherwise intelligent people.
AN instance has recently occurred near
Kingston in which the hero of the story
is now suffering the extreme penalty of
the law for this practice. He is full
blooded negro, Dy name Daniel Hilbert,
and eighteen months ago came to the
neighborhood with nothing but the
proverbial halfpence to bless himself
with. He is now worth $50, 900. which
he amassed in the following simple man
ner: Processing to have discovered a
spell by which he could convent an other
wise vafueless connection into specific
cure for all diseases, he retailed the mix
ture to the credulous negroes who cane
from all parts of the island at the price
OF a dollar a bottle. To enhance the
mysticism of the business, HILBERT rarely
stirred from squalid rush hut which he
erected in mangrove swamp. AS he
dollars came in he threw them with IN
apparent reckiessness into an old kero-
sene tin, and when that was filled the
silver was deposited in small sacks ald
cast upon the ground. When he had
amassed considerable sum this re-
doubtable empiric constructed small
sugar-works, but, finding witchcrlft
more profitable than sugar refining, he
returned to his former vocation, aid
would in all probability have been still
pursuing the same but for the insarven-
ton of the law. At first sight five years
penal servitude may seem very heavy
penalty for playing upon the credulity IF
fools, but it should be remembered that
many cruel and secret poisonings hive
been traced to the practitioners of obeah.
ism, and so prevalent is the custom that
none but the severest measures would be
liable to check its use, which in spiteof
all attempts at suppression is still ve,y
general, especially in the mountainous
and interior portions of Jamaica.
