but dancing IN 4 ballroom under q snowstorm
is not so familiar. This, however, was what a
party OF friends found themselves doing not
long ago in Sweden. The circumstances are
thus described in a foreign paper: During an
extremely cold night, but with the sky clear
and the stars shining, large assembly were
gathered for ball in sweden, and in the
course VI the evening IT became so hot IN the
room that several ladies tainted. An officer

The war against middle men, which
so ragged in the West few years ago, is
about to be emulated in the East. A
national company has been organized to
buy beef directly from the cattle growers
and supply it to the consumers at much
lower prices than have heretofore been
thought possible. Several shops have
been opened ythe company in Baltimore.
and now the experiment is being tried In
New York, In the former city tie price
of beef has been lowered about 20
per cent. and the same reduction is ex-
pected to be effected in the New York re-

We are glad to congratulate Gen. Gordon
on his success In his canvass for the nominal
ton for The GOvern0r4hip of Georgia. Ac-
cordlnG to the latest reports he has defeated
Maj. Bacon, his rival, and is sure of a nomlna-
LlSh which means election. Gen. DrdOn was
not cn'y one Of the bravest Of Confederate
soldiers, but he has been one Of the wisest and
most conservative of the public men Of the
reconstructed south. II he shall make as
good Governor as he made a Senator. Geor-

pride in him.

Damage to Public Works.

The temporary abandonment of work
on rivers and harbors for want of money
to continue them has no doubt caused
loss of hundreds of thousands of dollars
to the government. In the Savannah
harbor, for instance, damage has been
done to the jetty partly built from Oyster
Bay Light to Turtle Island to the amount
of several thousands of dollars. If work
on the lefty had been continued from
the time the jetty was begun until it was
completed there would not, IN all proba-
bility, have been any damage at all. Every
day that work is suspended the damage
becomes greater. The same sort of dam
age is being suffered by other government
works in different parts of the country.
II this condition of the public works in
rivers and harbors is brought to the at
tention of the President, it is not easy to
see how he can deem it advisable to veto
the river and harbor bill, even If his in
clination now is to veto it. It
may be, however, that he has
no intention of vetoing it. He certainly
ought not to have. If the public improve
ments in the rivers and harbors are aban-
dOned until Congress can pass a river and
harbor bill next session the damage they
Will suffer will amount to millions of dol
lars

There are growing apprehensions in
Europe concerning the spread Of cholera
this year. IL is generally believed that
the pestilence is raging in the southern
part Of the continent to much greater
extent than has been made public. There
seems to be no doubt that 1t exists in an
epidemic form at several places on the
Adrlatic. This is a good time for the
health officials on this side Of the water to
redouble their vigilance. 1t will be much
easier to keep cholera out OF the country
than it would be TO get rid Of 1t aftes once
getting established here.

Roaring Pemaquid.

Pemaquid Point, near Damariscot-
ta, Me-, has been said to be, in q gale
from any point ofthe compass between
the southeast and southwest, the
toughest point on the Atlantic coast.
1t isliterally out to sea, and the winds
of the Atlantic, rolling in from 5000
miles of ocean withoutlet or hindrance
break with explosive roar upon its
bastions of stone, which are worn into
endless forms by the attrition and
abrasion of ages. 1t is very rarely
that any point OF the mainland pos
sesses all the conditions of an uninter-
rupted breaking place for the wavesof
the ocean. Outlying rocks OF islands
on the conformation Of the adjacent
coast usually break up or check the
course of the waves long before reach
ing the mainland. Nothing lies be-
tween Pemaquid Point and the
broad Atlantic, and even in the calm
est mood Of the sea the roa Of the surf
upon it's walls is remarkable. When
the s~outherly gale is on the spray is
flung hundreds of feet in the cir. The
noise is deafening. Huge pieces of
rock are broken from the projecting
walls and thrown up on the bank.
Pemaquid lighthouse stands on the
promontory several hundred feet back
from the edge, with the house Of the
keeper adjoiningit. The lights at least
300feet above the sen level. Yet in a
sontherly gale q few years ago a large
stone was hurled by the waves through
the thick glass Of the lantern, and the
spray came down the chimneys of the
house in such quantities vs. to extin-
euish the fires.
History and legend also lend their
attractions to Peniaquid. No part of
the country was earlier known to voy-
ayers. The ships Of Pring, Weymouth
and Gilbert had plowed these waters
long before the settlement Of James
| town, and Pemaquid was the rival Of
Plymouth and Boston as q metrop-
oils in the infancy Of New England.
The old fort at the harbor was for
nearly a century on the disputed terri
tory between Massachusetts and
Acadia.-Rockland Me- Courier.

neighborhood of Kings Cross. Here
the pretended solicitor stopped at q
door, which he opened with a latch
key.
"Ahl" said Carter to himself, II
have you nowl"
He waited a few moments, and then
knocked at the door.
1t vas answered by q dirty, slip
shod girl.
docs Mr.. Williamson live hereY"
inquired the young
"No, he doesn't"
tWasn't that Mr.. Williamson who
came in just now-Mr. Williamson, OF
Peterborough"
"No, it wasn't. That was our first
floor, MIR. Cromer. You've made O.
mistake"
so / have. Beg pardon, I'm sure"
and Carter turned away.
From Kings Cross he went straight
to Scotland Yard and narrated his ex-
periences. That night Mr.. Livesey re-
ceived a visit which caused him some
surprise-and so did Mr.. Cromer. No
sooner was the latter gentleman nthe
hands of the police than he confessed
II WnOl6 matter.
MI. Mason had known Cromer, who
was a scoundrel with a respectable
appearance and a plausible manner,
for some time, and had selected him
to be his tool. He had sent poor
Crump to the docks on the afternoon
before the morning when the check
was missed; he had come back to the
office after the clerks were gone, and
had then opened Crumpss safe with
his own key and abstracted the blank
check. This check he had himself filled
up and signed with the firm signature
in the usual way, SO there was little
wonder that the cashier at the bank
paidit without any suspicion. Hehad,
no doubt, calculated that the bank
would have to bear the loss; but, asit
was, he had cheated Mr.. Livesey out
of two thousand pounds, for, as he
himself had but a third share in the
business, only one thousand out of
the three had to come out of his wv
pocket.
Mr.. Mason saved his partner the
trouble of trying whether he could
make him criminally responsible for
what he had done; for when the police
went to look for him he had disap-
peared. Probably he hads seen Robert
Carter following his accomplice, and,
scenting danger, had saved himself
while there was time. 1t turned out
afterward that he had been speculate
ing largely on the Stock Exchange and
was sorely in need of money to pay
his losses. 1t was some consolation
to Mr.. Livesey to think that his dis
honest partner had not profted much
by his theft.
AS for Walter Crump, he was offered
his old place, with an apology and q
handsome present to boot; and hestill
keeps the books which he had so long
under his care. He has not quite
overcome his prejudice against Robert
Carter, and he always regarded it rs
hard thing that he should have to owe
his reputation and his deliverance
from poverty to that particular young
gentleman. However, as things were
he could do no less than inform Carter
that he had done him an injustice,
and that he. would be happy to see
him in the evening whenever 1T suited
him to call. The color came back to
Armies cheek and the light to her eyes
when she heard the good news; and it
was not many weeks before she be-
came the promised wife of the young
man who discovered the secret OF
