A clerk named Stevenson, occupying
n responsible position in Buffalo, was
bonded by the Guarantee Company of
North America for $1,000. Hcwas short
in his accounts and skipped to Canada.
The company resolved to bring him back,
and the plan adopted was as novel as it
was ingenious Grove, a bright young
Irishman, was sent to make Stcvcnson's
acquaintance, and was with him nearly
month before an opportunity presented
itself where the dcfaultcr could be en-.
ticed to venture near the line. Exactly
in the centre of the Detroit River is an
island, which the boundary line divides.
Grove arranged fishing expedition with
his associate and the two men were to
row out in the river fishing during the
trip. Before starting, however, Grove
found the boat they were going to use,
and boring q small augcr hole il the bot
tom, tittc in a tight wooden plug. Full
of glec and Canadian rum, Stevenson
procured the fishing tackle, and little
dreaming that he was leaving his retreat
for the last time, rode out on the rip
plng river. When nearing the island
Grove made n ruSc of searching for
something in the bottom of the boat and
pulled out the plug OF course the men
must either drown or 20 to the island, as
the boat was rapidly filling with water.
They pulled toward the little patch of
ground and reached it just as the boat
sank. Stevenson clamb,rcl out and
unconsciouSly walked over the boundary
line to the American side, when Grove
covered him with slX-shootcr and sig.
nailed IN officer wAo had been stationed
within mailing distanc, on the American
shore. When Stevenson saw how clCvcrlv

The Garfield Family,

The Garfield home on Prospect street,
where Mrs. Garfield has lived since
President Garfcld's death, is empty and
for sale. Mrs. Garfield and her family
have gone to live at the Mentor farm,
where she says, she can find more peace
and comfort than anywhere else. Before
she went there the house on the farm
was remodcled and added to. Still, it
was much too small for the equipments
of the city house, and few days ago
private sale was held, at which a great
many things were disposed of at fabu-
lous prices. During thcunscttlcd period
Grandma Garfield went to her old
home at Solon, village twelve miles
from town, and near Hiram College,
where her boy was taught and taught
others. The old lady is pestcrcd almost
to sickness by autograph hunters, and
will attend to them no more. She is
strong and very clear of mind, as of old.
Since the removal of Mrs. Garfield to
Monitor grandma has rcjoincd her.
One reason why the house on the farm
was enlarged was the need of room
where President Garficlds effects and
papers could be placed. These have all
been arranged with the utmost care, and
placed in systematic order. The articles
in the memorial room of the Prospect
street house have also been removed to
a specially built room in the Mentor
home, and rare collection of tributes
from nearly every State in the Union,
and from nearly every civilized nation in
the world. Mrs.. GrieId's father,
Mr., ZeiI Rudolph, is with her. IIe and

with Judges Boynton and Hale of this
city, and is going to make a good, and
perhaps great lawyer. lie is a close
student, and has his fathers retentive
and legal mind.
Molly is with her mother at Mentor,
but often comes to town. She is Prcsi-
dent of the NEAL Mission Society, an
organization for missionary work in
Paris. Mrs. Garfield looks well, but
lives very quietly, and retains her gar

Making BasebalIs.

The interesting fact was learned by q
New York Mail and Express reporter
that the hides of about 1000 horses and
the skins of at least ten times rs many
sheep are cut up into coverings for base
balls in this city every season. BY one
manufacturer alone three tons of yarn
are used year for the insdci of base
balls. The hide and skin used is per-
fcctly white, being alum tanned, and
comes from Philadelphia. Out of one
horses hide the coverings for twelve
dozen balls are cut, and out of one sheep
skin three dozen. Two strips of the
leather are required for each ball, cut
wide and rounding at each end so that
they fit into each other when put around
the yarn ball. Each piece, for League
ball, is seven inches long, by two inches
wide at the rounded ends. The pieces
are cut with die. Old fashioned blue
Shaker yarn is used for the inside of a
League ball, which is wound tightly
around small rubber ball, weighing
exactly one ounce. The improved
League ball has now double coverings of
horschide, which is regarded as a great
improvement. 1t is also stitched with
gut The balls are made entirely by
hand and 1t requires no little skill to
shape them perfectly round. This is
done by placing them in an iron cup
about the size Of the ball and striking it
with a mallct at different stages of the
winding. Men do this work. they easi-
ly make ten dozen League balls in a day
and from forty to fifty dozen ordinary
basebals in the same length of time
Their wages arc 81. 80 Il day. Women sew
the coverings together on the ball; this
requires considerable skill and strong
finger muscle; they can sew from two
and a half to three dozen League balls
day, and from II to 1G dozen of the
cheaper grades; they are paid by the
piece, ninety cents dozen for the
League work and ten cents a dozen for
the Others. They earn about $12 u week.
The balls are scwcd with what is known
as Barkcr's flax, which comes in red, blue,
orange and pink colors. The finest balls
are scwed with pink. Horschidc cover
ed balls are made in fourteen different
varitics.

Does Gold Grow :!

Years ago wrote and published in q
London magazine an article in which
undertook to prove that gold grows
grows the same as grain or potatoes, or
anything else. | reckon | did my work
crudcly, not knowing anything about
chemistry or even the ordinary terms of
expression about such matters, and so my
earnest and entirely correct sketch was
torn all to pieces and laughed to scorn.
Well, l have at last found positive
proof of my general statement right here
In these mountains by the Pacific sea.
Briefly and simply, have found piece
of pcteriticd wood with little vein OF
thread of gold in it. How did that gold
get into this piece OF wood2 Was it
placed there by the finger Of God on the
morning of creation as men have claimed
was the case with the gold found in the
veins of the mountains! Nonsense!
Gold grows! Certain conditions OF
the air, or certain combinations of earth
and air and water and whatever chcmi-
Gals may be required, and then a rock, a
piece of quartz, or petriiicd tree, for the
gold to grow in, and there is your gold
crop! Of course, gold grows slowly.
Centuries upon centuries, it may be, are
required to make the least sign OF
growth, But it grows just as asserted
years ago. and here at last | hold in my
hand such testimony as no man in this
world will be rash enough to question: a
portion of Il pctnticl tree with thread
of gold in it.-JorQ"in Miller.
