BODIES NOT REcovERED.-Th bodies of
Douglass Corse formerly of this city, and
sydney Peacock, whose sad drowning IN
Florida on the 3;h inst, was reported IN the
GAZETTE lat week. have not beensrecover-
ed 80 far as learned. The Jacksonville Her.
aid gives the following account of the sad
affair Young Corse, whose father owns
an orange grove at Picolata, had contract
with the steam boat companies to light the
beacons on the river every evening, and
these lights are quite distance from the
shore. Friday evening the water was very
rough, but Corse, accompanied by Peacock,
started in row boat for the beacons. The
lights did not appear, and the young men
did not return. Saturday morning their
boat was discovered, bottom up, III cove
not far from Picolata, but no signs of the
bodies could be found. 1t is supposed that
the heavy sea and wind capsized them, and
that the Young men held on to the boat as
long as they could, and eventually let go
from exhaustion and cold.

Wornen's Newspaper Offices.

Women's Newspaper Offices.
A former printer, now well-known
journalist, said recently to a newspaper
man: There is newspaper field for
women which is very little cultivated.
1t is the conducting of local newspa-
papers, the weekly home papers Of the
country towns that give the events of
the locality in which they are printed.
want to tell you what I struck in my
travels when I was playing tramp
printer. 1t was in Massilon, Ohio.
There was an Office there where
weekly paper was printed, which was
conducted in all its departments by
women. The proprietors were two Sis
ters. They were both type-setters.
They had female apprentice. The
| elder sister was the editor, but the
younger one was a good local writer.
They had patent outside for the pa
per. All the rest of the work these
three persons did. They even ran the
press ON which they printed an edition
of 900 Or 1000. 1t was a power press. one
of the drum cylinder kind that turned
with a big crank. Occasionally they
sent out and hired man 10 turn this
press for them on publication day, but
often they worked the press themselves.
They We're none too rich and they saved
this expense, if possible. The peculiar
feature of the. Office was it's extreme
neatness. There was no piles of dirt
swept into corners. There was no 'pi'
under the stands that bore the cases.
There was pot Or two Of flowers in
each window, and a canary bird sang
in cage above the type-rack.4 The old
tramps ranging through the country
then used to go in and take a look at
the Office. 1t was different from any
thing else they saw anywhere. They
| used to shake their heads and go off
muttering. They never asked for work
They knew that they couldn' t.splt to-.
bacco juice one the floor of such an
office. There was nos.hell- box'in which
to dump their .pi, and It didn't seem
home-like to them. So they gave it a
wide berth. - Philadelphia Public Led

An Arctic ArchiDela.gO.

A correspondent of The San Francis
co Chronicle on board a ship bound for
Alaska, writes: Only think of it for a
moment. Here on the northern coast
there are islands, sown SO thickly that
many of the sea passages, though deep
enough for three decker to swim in,
are so narrow that one might easily
skim his hat across them. There are
thousands of these islands-yes, tens Of
thousands-I don't know just how
many. and perhaps no man does. They
are all shapes and sizes, and the major
ity of them are handsomely wooded.
The somber green of the woods stretch
ing between the sonber blue-gr Of
the water and the opaline sheen of the
sky forms picture-a momentary pic
ture-the chief features of which change
almost as suddenly and quite as COM
pletely as the transformations in a ka-
le:doscope. We are forever turning
corners. and no sooner are we safely
around one corner than three others
elbow us just ahead; now. toward
which of the three are we bound, and
will our good ship run TO larboard or to
starboard? This is a turn one might
bet on all day long-and lose nearly
every time. A tangle of tides. What
a bewildering cruise! Vastly finer than
river sailing is this Alaskan expedition:
Here is whole tangle of rivers full of
strange tides, mysterious currents and
surprises. Moreover, we can get lost
if we want to-no one can get lost in a
river. We can rush in where pilots
fear to tread, strike sunken rocks. toss
among dismal eddies, or plunge into
whirlpools. We can rake overhan ging
boughs with our yardarms if we want
to, but we don't want to. In 1875 the
United States steamer Saranac went
down in Seymour narrows, and her
fate was sudden death. The United
States steamer Suwanee met with a
! like misfortune at the entrance to
Queen Charlotte sound. Il is rather
jolly to think OF these things andsto
realize that We are in more or less dam
ger. though the shores are as silent Is
the grave, tho sea sleeps like a mill
pond and the sun sets with great die
nifty and precision. nightly bathing the
lonely northzin sensuous splendor.

Immediately this Was done i had To- lie

the possibility Of him detecting me.
And in this manner I pursued my man
for the distance OF at least two long
sdreary miles. Then. when he had
emerged from a painless meadow, he
stood alone still for moment. look
ing sharply around in every direction,
and entered a dilapidated-l oking fac
tory situated on the high road leading
to the village Of Branscombe. =.. s..s
81 I was satisfied he had another accom-
plice here, becauseshe used no. key, but
merely lifted the ponderous, latch of
the door and lugged his burden in. No
sooner had he disappeared from view
than ran with wild haste after. him,
and, placing my ear against the closed
door. heard the sound Of his footsteps
vanishing upon the steep staircase that
led to the room above, Fortunately
for my plans, he had not turned the
lock against me. SO ! noiselessly fol-
lowed him in.s
For few moments I hesitated what
to do. Then the thought struck me to
take off my boots and mount the rick
ETY. stairs. 1t was risky thing to do,
but how else. was to prove the SUBJ
stantiality Of the charge I intended to
make against him if did not pounce
upon the culprit while the stolen goods
were in his hands? I CROPPED my way
along the darkness of the lobby, and.
leaving my boots behind me, began the
ascent
The steps were worn and wooden,
yet all went we'll with me until I
reached the third one. from the land

followed the pressure of my foot.
simultaneously with. the sound came
the startled whisper of voice not far
from me, which caused me to halt and
stand motionless.

The dim light that was struggling
through latticed window of the room
shone full upon me, thus making my
discovery absolutely certain to anyone
who chose to approach me. At this
critical juncture rushed forward, and
at the next instant confronted the two
men creeping on tiptoe toward the
edge Of the landing above me, and I
saw the stolen wool lying at their feet.
Contrary to my expectation, they Offer
cred no resistance to me when I told
them l was detective, and charged
them. one with stealing and the other
with receiving stolen goods.
A few days afterward I had the sat-
isfaction of bringing five men to the
bar of justice. These were the guard,
driver and stoker of the train, with the
actual thief and receiver. They we're
condemned to various terms of impri-
sonment, the latter culprit receiving
the heaviest sentence of them all. He
was a small mill owner, and had but
recently escaped the jail for an act of
fraudulent bankruptcy.
