date, and so you shall not be at loss for the
reason.
The girl tried to meet her fathers eyes,
whereof the severity appeared intensified by
the spectacle rings that concentrated their
forces of fire and feeling; but to stand to
them hardly was an impossible feat; her
gaze went downward, and in scarcely au-
dible tone she replied: II do not NOPE,

Strangfeld, harshly. "What was the mean

no fear, my pretty. Thy father is stern, but

The girl refused to speak. Then Mr..
Strangfeld repeated his question, and her
lips turned pale, as under the pressure and
torment Of a thousand words which they
would not part to deliver, and one most tear
full, wildered, pleading look she cast around.
Her father watched her steadily, and with
all ever-deepening shadow Oh his face. Her

CHAPTER X.
THE ACTION.

At ten of the forenoon the Frenchman lay
plain on the sea, with colors flying, muske-
teers in her tops, and her bulwarks black
with the heads of her men. A big frigate
she was, of the graceful shape which the
British were all too slow to copy IN thelr
dockyards; and the Gallo cocks in her hem
coops might we'll have swelled their throats
with derisive screams when they beheld the
English sparrow sailing down to grapple
with the hawk.
The first shot fired came from the frigate,
when she was still out of reach of the Cleo
patra's guns Cuthbert saw the glance OF
yellow flame and the smother Of white smoke;
the ball whirled up u little pillar of froth out
of the sea close alongside, and then came the
report, dulling its sting against the winds
teeth.
"My lads" exclaimed Sir Peter Grahame,
standing at the quarterback capstan with
his hat in his hand, ''yonder ship Is the
Guerriere. None of the enemys ships has
done more damage to our peaceful merchant
men than She She is n big nut to crack,
but our heels are shod with British iron, and
we'll grind the kernel out of her yet. Hold
on all till you get your orders, then make one
man of yourselves. Now God be with us!'
A cheer like broadside was given; the
helm put over, the loftier sails furled and
the Cleopatra drove on toward her enemy.
Tho Cleopatra's flying jibboom pointed
due nmidships of the Gucrriere; then by length
of a spoke Was the wheel put over, round
swept the Guerriere's helm, that she might
rake the Cleopatra as she passed under her

"Jenny, ,ciu you ans,cer me or not9"
AS they went down the stairs there was a
lifetime of suffering in Jenny's thoughts.
For what now was she to do! Must she con-
fess under the crushing gaze of her fathers
eyes! Beyond her strength of voice, beyond
control of passionate weeping, would the
confession take her. Cuthbert would be here
anon-to-morrow, surely-and shift the heavy
load of her secret upon himself. And with
him at hand those stern eyes would not be
terrifying, nor the anger unbearable.
3Now, my girl" said he, his voice insen-
sibly softening under the beauty of his only
child, "speak boldly, and acknowledge the
trouble that has come to you. will tell
you," laying a forefinger on his thumb,
"when this habit Of moping first became Wis.,

her bulwarks in splinters. She looked to the
full as much wreck as the Cleol atra- And
if there is anything certain in naval history,
it is that, could Sir Peter Grahame have put
his brig on board the Frenchman, disorgan-
lied by havoc, he would have carried her.
SO let us fling the union jack over the valiant
dead, and with reverent gratitude thank God
that they were our countrymen.

GOD AND THE RIGHT.


Courage, brother do not stumble,
Though thy path is dark as night;
There's star to guide the humble
"Trust in God and do the right"
Let the road be long and dreary,
And it's ending out of sight;
Foot it bravely strong or weary;
"Trust in God and do the right"
Perish "policy" and cunning,
Perish all that fears the light;
Whether losing, whether winning,
'Trust in God and do the right"
Trust no forms of guilty passion,
Fiends can look like angels bright;
Trust no custom, school, or fashion; .
"Trust in God and do the right"
Some will hate thee, some will love thee,
Some will flatter, some will slight;
Cease from man and look above thee,
"Trust in God and do the right"
Simple rule and safest guiding;
Inward peace and inward light;
Star upon our path abiding;
"Trust in God and the right"

Prof. Alexander Graham Bell and his
cousin, DIR. Chichester Bell. have recent
| ly made very remarkable discovery,
which they think is quite as important
as the transmission of the tones
Of the human voice through
the telephone. They have dis
covered that falling jet Of water or
fame of gas burning in room repro
duces every word spoken and every
sound uttered within given distance.
When two people join in conversation in
a room in the evening the gas which
burns above their heads repeats every
word they say. and sounds uttered in
the vicinity Of flowing water produces
vibrations.
To o reporter Of local paper Profess
sor Bell showed glass disk, upon which
appeared spiral streak composed Of
tiny little shade lines, placed together
or farther apart to make up the variation
Of intensity. The surface was one Of de-
preston and elevation. This, Professor
Bell said, represented sound waves.
When the plate was revolved upon a
pivot and the depressions and eleva-
tions conveyed to the ear by
mirophone, there was a repetition
Of the conversation then recorded as dis
tinct as when it was delivered. The un-
dulate surface representing sound waves
was produced by photography. Profess
sor Bell says that If any one will go to a
water pipe and turn on the faucet sothat
the water will fall IN stream to the
ground, that water can be made to re-
port the conversation taking place in its
presence, and stream register every
sound within hearing OF it.
The great object OF the inventors was
to record by photography or otherwise
the vibrations in the jet of water which
correspond to the sound waves; the re-
suit OF words spoken in the vicinity; to
keep the voice on record, bottled up, as
ii were. for any length of time. and
then when called upon to let the record
speak This, Mr.. Bell says, has been
accomplished. The water, or liq-
uid Of whatever kind it may
be, is colored with bichromate Of potash.
If II were perfectly clear it would not
answer, because the light used in photo |
graphing would pass through without
resistance and no record would be made
on the tablet. Tho water is colored for
photographing, and the jet is made to
fall obliquely on glass plate. The water
spreads Itself on the glass plate and runs
off. 1t is the water so spread out that's to
be photographed as it passes. Words
spoken cause the jet of water to vibrate,
the vibrations in the jet cause correspond
ing vibrations in the LIN of water as it
breaks and spreads on the glass pla te and
runs of. A ray Of light is passed through
that film and through the glass plateto a
sensitive tablet behind. The sensitive
tablet receives the impression of every
vibration while the speaking continues,
the jet keeps running, the flim keeps
passing over the plate, the recording
tablet keeps moving, and the light pass
ing through the film to the tablet makes
a record OF the speech far more accurate
than any verbatim report. These scien-
lists do not consider their invention per-
feet, but they are at work improving it.

The Sacramento papers are bowling
themselves hoarsc over the fear that the
navigability of the streak of mud
through courtesy called the Sacramento
river-will be impaired if water is taken
out Of any of its tributaries for irriga-
ton purposes. For thirty-six years
miners have taken the waters OF that
stream and its tributaries for mining
purposes, and the right has never been
questioned, except that in using the wa
ter they must not send down debris and
fill up the stream; but just as soon AS
mining stops, and it is proposed to use
the water for irrigation purposes. it will
never do.
The Placer County Republican, pub.
lished at Auburn--a fvuit country-hits
the nail squarely on the head when it
says: "rhe water of the streams belongs
to the whole people for irrigation. be-
cause irrigation is many times more inn
portant to them than navigation. Crops
will not grow without water, but after
they are produced there are many de-
vices by which they can be transported
to market without the aid of boats. II
everything be given up to navigation
there will not be anything to navigate. y

The phenomenal 'hot spell" last
month did considerable damage to the
grape crop in some vineyards and in
certain localities, bu. those who have
followed the plan Of stalking their
vines report that the precaution proved
effective. Vines tied up in this way
shield the grapes from the direct heat of
the sun. Stalking also permits Of closer
cultivation. Senator Routier, of this
county, whose vines are staked, expects
crop Of six or seven tons OF grapes to
the acre this season. Thorough and
skillful cultivation always tell in the
vineyard. II is interesting to note that
none Of the Senators vines are irri-
gated.
