relic of the raid is the son of Captain

Illinois and aged nearly twenty-seven.
He was the product of Cooks marriage
with the daughter or niece of n canal
lock-kooper, who had employed Cook,
after he ceased to teach school Mt Har-
per's Ferry, to open and shut the lock-
gates, Cook being then so poor that he
was reduced to one ragged suit of
clothes, although he was the brother-in-
law of the Governor of Indiana. He

EooLINo THE CLERKS.
NOW Clever wag Had Lots Of Fun at
the Expense of His Friends.

The ease with which clever wag
can sometimes fool those who deem
themselves very keen was exemplifled
this afternoon. Last year Assistant
Secretary of State Adee attempted to
take photograph Of several buildings.
His colors ran, and the result was that
his proofs presented group of build
ings falling in every direction. The
walls Of some were bulged out and
others falling in. He had some blue
prints made of the remarkable produc-
tion, and to-day one of them was passed
around the departments. Tho print
was passed off as taken from an instan-
taneous photograph of tho earthquake
at Charleston. 1t was stated that tho
first shock awakened the photographer,
and he got his traps together, rushed
into the street, and got an excellent
negative of the second shock. All OF
the officials and clerks believed the
story Some of them went into u sci
entiiic dissertation over the blue print.
They all cndeavored to explain why
the buildings on one side bulged out
and on the other appeared to be falling
inward. At last one of the clerks,
laughing at his befooled companions,
called their attention to the fact that
the earthquake occurred at night.

ST. MARY,S BELL
Tho Pathetic Story Which Has Made 1t

The Pathetic Story Which Has Made 1t
Singular Among Bells.
The city of Breslau lately celebrated
the five hundredth anniversary of an
occurrence which was memorable in
the history of the town, and is known
wherever German poetry finds home.
The bell which hangs in the southern
tower of st. Mary Magdalen's church,
and is named 'St. Mary's bell," but is
usually known as 1.-THE poor sinners
bell, rang out morning and evening
on the 18th of July to remind all who
heard it that it was cast on that day
five hundred years ago. Next day,
Sunday, the preacher reminded his
congregation of the pathetic story
which has made it singular among bells
how, when all was ready for the
casting, the bell founder Withdrew for
a few moments, leaving boy in charge
of the furnace, warning him not to
meddle with the catch that Sc
cured the seething metal in the
caldron. But the boy disregardcd the
caution, and then, terrified on seeing
the molten metal beginning to flow
into the mold, called to the bell
founder for help. Rushing in and see
ing what he had intended to be his
masterpiece ruined, as he thought, an
gered to madness, he slew the boy on
the spot. When the metal had cooled
and the mold was opened, the bell
was found to be an exquisite work,
perfect in finish, and of marvellous
sweetness of tone. Coming to his
senses, he recognized his bloody work.
and straightway gave himself up to the
magistrates. BLOOD for blood" was
the law; he was condemned to die, and
he went TO his doom while his beauti-
full bell pealed an invitation to all to
pray for 1.-THE poor sinner" whence its
name. w. Muller has enshrined the
sad story in ballad of touching SIM
plicity:

WONDERFUL CURES.
Two Persons Walking About In tho Flesh
With Bullets In Their Brains.

With Bullets In Their Brains.
Two remarkable and wonderful cases
of recovery from bullet-wounds have
lately taken place in the British me-
tropolis. In one case-that of n girl
who was shot by her lover-the bFllet
is deeply imbedded in the heal. too
deep to admit of any operation; yet
the patient has been discharged from
the hospital convalescent The other
case was one of attempted suicide, the
sufferer having shot himself in the head
with revolver. In this case. too, the
bullet is still in the brain, and in such n
position as to prevent the operation of
extraction. In spite of this the pat ent
has been discharged from hospital care,
and it is said that he suffers no incon-
venience from the consequences of his
rash act. A curious coincidence in
connection with these cases is that both
shots were fired the same day and that
both cases were treated at the London
Hospital. "The times have been" "
says Shakespeare, .that, when the
brains were out, the man would die. Z"
The poet puts these words into the
mouth of Macbeth when that wicked
King sees the ghost of the murdered
Banquo rise before him. In the cases
just cited we have reality which no
poet could equal in romance. People
walking about in the flesh with bullets
in their brains are certainly far more
wonderful things than specters. These
marvellous recoveries from what few
years ago would have meant certain
death must be credited to surgical skill
and the modern antiseptic method ot
treating wounds.

or eight Confederates were tore to
pieces. Some had head off, another
his arms. one the lower limbs and one
the whole viscera torn out. There was
one young, fair-haired youth whose
chest was laid open. His silk under
shirt and well-titting boots indicated
that he was the scion of some wealthy
family. His features showed no traces
of pain. He must have died in less than
a minute. The sight was sickening;
but it was war, and there's nothing on
earth to be compared to it-civil war,

How Bishop Pontoppidon Described the
Mythical Monater In 1IaI.

Mythical Monster In 1877.
This account of the sea serpent e
from Bishop Pontoppidon's Natural
History of Norway published in
London, A. d. 1867:
"The sea snake is q monster seldom
seen, even on tho coast of Norway,
though this coast is the only place in
the world where it is seen at all. In
my inquiries about this monster | have
hardly spoken with any intelligent
person born in the manor of Norland
who was not able to give pertinent
answer concerning it and strong as.

the traders coming yearly to Bergen
think it as ridiculous to doubt its exist.
ence as that of an eel or cod. We
have the statement of Captain Laurence
dc Ferry. Commander in tho navy,
who disbelieved in it till he was con-
vinced by ocular demonstration. His
statement is in substance as follows:
That in very calm, hot day in August,
1746, being in boat with eight rowers
at Juleness, while reading, he heard n
noise among the men and observed that
the helmsman kept off from the land.
On inquiring the cause he was told that a
sea snake was before them. He or
dered them to come up with it, which
they did, though afraid. The snake
passed by them, and they tackled to get
nearer to it. As it swan faster than
they could row the captain discharged
q gun at it and the snake Immediately
sank without rising again, and as the
water about it appeared thick and red
and as the distance was small, the cap
tain thinks it might have been wounded.
The head which it held more than two
feet above the water, resembled a
horses. 1t was gray, with quito
black and very large mouth. had black
eyes and long name. Besides the
head and neck they saw seven or eight
folds of the snake, which were very
thick, and as far as they could guess
there was the distance of fathom be-
tween them. Two of the rowers, in
habitants of Bergen, deposed in court
on the 22d of February, 1851, to the
truth of the statement"
There is more of this account of
sea serpent to be found in tho fourth
volume of a work published in Lon

ages. Discoveries. and Travels, printed
by j. Knox" The volumes are in the
