The First American Tale.

A New York letter to the Troy Times
says: Royal Tyler was not only the author
of the first American drama, but also
the first American tale. This was the
algerian Captive, " which went through
two editions, but is now very rare book.
1t has no plot, and was written to show
up errors Of the time J, and especially the
absurdity Of paying tribute to the Alge-
rines for the privilege of sailing in the
Mediterranean unmolested. It now seems
almost incredible that the United States
was once subjected to this humiliating
condition, but such is history. Our gov
ernment, however, eventually sent a
squadron to Algiers under Decatur, who
soon taught this nation Of pirates to re-
spect our flag. To return to the tale, /
may say that in early childhood came
across copy, and I well remember the
author mentioning that while yet lad
he was SO deeply interested in Pilgrims
Progress that he stuck pin in Apoll-
yon's eye in order to help Christian out
Of the fight" The author published
this book under nom de plume, and the
title page was: 'The Algerian Captive;
or, The Life and Adventures Of DR.. Up
dixie Underhill, Six Years Prisoner
Among the Algerians." The book was
popular, and Tyler might have continued
his attention to fiction, but the next year
q79s) Charles Brockden Browns first
novel appeared, and this checked ali
rivalry.

Street Thieves in Mexico.

That thieves are unusually audacious
in Mexico is shown by the following ex-
tract from City of Mexico letter to the
Boston Herald: The Raymond party here
were cautioned by somebody not to expose
their watch chains, and some of the gen
tlemen buttoned up their cutaways in
the streets, and this was not an unwiss
precaution, for the local pickpocket,
when he does operate, is most ingenious.
But then their are sharp pickpockets on
Washington street or Broadway An
elderly lady Of the party had her purse
taken at Leon, but she missed it instantly,
overlook the thief, woman, and charged
her in vigorous Saxon with the theft,
whereupon the woman slyly dropped the
pocketbook on the ground and innocently
pointed it out. About ten years ago the
German Ambassador, walking down the
southwestern sidewalk Of the Alameda,
very much like the fremont Street Mall
of the Common, was seized at dusk, by
two men, each grasping an arm in very
firm manner. A third man came in
front, and walking backward kept a
dagger pointed to the Ambassadors
throat, while one Of the other men jabbed
poniard just far enough into the plen-
ipotentiary's side to give him a sensation
of what might happen. Then the man
in front went through the Kaiser's repre-
sentative, taking all his money, his
watch and rings. The whole scene was
enacted right within twenty feet Of a
coach stand, and nothing but the. bold
ness of the rascals saved them. But, Of
course, the Ambassador did not think it
prudent to make any outcry. The
thieves were never caught.

Those who sigh because there is not
time enough in the twenty four hours for
one to do what he really ought to, in
these busy times, will he gratifed to
learn that the days are actually growing
longer. Said Professor Pritchett to a
St. Louis Globe Democrat reporter: eyes,
the days are getting longer-almost i'm
perceptible, however, the extension being
at the rate of two seconds in century.
This 'slow-up on the part of the earth
in its daily rotation is caused by the
tides, which act as friction brakes upon
the earth's velocity. Two seconds in a
hundred years is not much, but in the
impenctrable future their effect will be
felt.n

Louis Hahn, Of Pittsburg, Penn, is
well known there as "The Little Chief. =
Whenever there is an alarm of fire, tbs
boy, clad in the garb Of fireman, is al
ways seen dashing to the burning build
ing. He is almost monomaniac on mat
ters pertaining to the fire department,
and knows more about the department
than most of the fremen. He can do
what every member of the department
confesses himself unable to do, and that
is, to be given the number Of box, and
then tell its exact location and what en-
gine will respond to the alarm from it.
Time and again, when in an engine house,
this test has been made, and young Hahn
could never be deceived. He keeps
posted on every new box. In his room
he has fixed up several wires and gongs,
and often enjoys himself in practlcing
on them. So far has his fire department
proclivit;es gone that it is his great
desire to have a wire run to his
house and gong placed therein, that he
may hear each alarm of fire. He knows
every fireman and frequents every en-
gine-house.

The Laramie (Wyoming) Boomerang
has an account of some lakes in the Ticin-
ity of that city so charged with soda that
it accumulates in great quantities around
the edges, whence it is only necessary to
haul it away and work it up into COM
merciai forms. One of the lakes in the
immediate vicinity of Laramie has been
drained, and the soda is now being
worked up by company, but the supply
in other parts is practically inexhaustible,
and has as yet hardly been touched.

AS an offset to the immense fortu


As an Offset to the immense fortunes
in this country there are some famous
ones in Europe. The Barring Brothers
are nearly as rich and as powerful as the
Rothschilds. 1t is a half American
house, and keeps $50, 600, 900 'sready for
instantaneous use. The dead Duke oi
Portland left unentailed property worth
S12, 900, 900, and his entailed estates are
worth great deal more. The Gar Of
Eu il has an income of $40, 900, 600,
and Queen Victoria is very rich outside
her enormous pensions. The Dukes Of
Norfolk, Bucclelgh and Devonshire, and
Marquis Of Butte have rent rolls valued at
So, 900, 600 year, and the Duke Of West
minister is probably the richest man IN
the world. Rumor puts his income at
$50 minute, or over $36, 900, 900 a year,
an extravagant estimate, of course. But
he is very rich, the bulk Of his property
being in the thickly populated districts
of London.

The origin Of the still.

The manufacture of distilled spirits is
one Of the oldest of the arts of Oriental
civilized life, and is Of such remote an
tiquity that no specific date or circum-
stance Of its origin is recorded in history.
Neither has the name Of the inventor Of
the first distilling apparatus been handed
down to US. All we know about it is
that the Chinese distilled alcoholic spirit
from rice long before the Christian era;
that from China the art travelled west
to India, Arabia and Africa, and was
finally carried by the Moors or Arabs
to Western Europe, where it was first
practised and taught by Albucasis, q
Moorish philosopher, in the beginning Of
the twelfth century When King Henry
H., of England, invaded and conquered
Ireland, toward the close Of that century,
the people Of that country made and
used strong distilled liquor which
they called susquebagh," Or the water
OF life, and this ancient Irish name for
their national drink was finally changed
and abbreviated into s'whiskey.n On
the Island Of Ceylon, in the Indian
Ocean, the distilIation of ''arrack" and
other liquors, from rice, sugar and the
fruit of the date palm has been carried
on from time immemorial. When Cap
tain Cook made his famous voyages
around the world, the natives Of some
Of the Pacific Islands offered him alco-
holic liquors which they distilled from
the fermented juices Of tropical plants
and vegetables. Hence, if distilling
alcohol is crime, it is one in which all
the races and generations Of men are in

Invisible Clouds.

In the recent English tests Of light
house illuminants was brought out the
curious fact-of great practical as well
as scientific interest that remarkable
changes in the transparency Of the air
occur without any visible haze or mist.
Invisible clouds seemed to hoat BY, OBJ
scuring the lights for time; and it
sometimes happened that while the dis
tant French lights showed with unabat-
ed brilliancy, the experimental lights,
only mile and q quarter away, had
lost one-fourth to one-third their power.

WHEN MY SHIP WENT powN

/.
Sank palace In the sea,
When my ship went down:
Friends whose hearts were gold to me-
Gifts that ne'er again can be-
Meath the waters brown.
There you lie, O Ship, to-day,
In the sand-bar stiff and grayi
You who proudly sailed away
From the splendid town.

Now the oceans bitter cup
Meets your trembling lip;
Now your gilded halls look up
From Disasters grip.
Ruins nets around you weave;
But have no time to grieve;
win promptly, believe,
Build another ship.
