A Bankers Crafty Design.

Herr Hager, the wealthy German
banker, is the most punctual nan in
the world, and always carries a couple
of chronometers about with him.
Thanks to this habit he is a frequent
victim to pickpockets, as not week
passes without his losing one of his
watches. At first he had recourse to
all kinds of safety chains; then one fine
morning he took no precaution what
ever, and quietly allowed himself to be
robbed. At night, on returning from
business, he took up The evening paper,
when he uttered an exclamation of de-
light and at once started off to the
police station. This is what he had

SPANISH RAILROADS,
Their Rather Primitive Equipments and
Depot Facilities.

Their Rather Primitive Equipments and
Depot Facilities.
Some remarks not complimentary
have been made in regard to railroad
travelling in Spain. The roads are AS
yet but few years old, and they CORE
spond in their primitive means and APP
planes to the rude manners of the
common people. To begin with, they
are very slow. You consume day in
going a short distance that might
easily be accomplished in few hours.
In hardly any portion of the peninsula
are there more than two daily trains,
one of these carrying only second-cIass
passengers, and as comparatively few
persons travel first-class they must
go by that particular train or wait
twenty-four hours. Stop-over tickets
are never allowed, nor is passenger
ever given ticket to any particular
point unless the train makes all the
through connections. He may be will
ing to wait at some junction few
hours till the next train leaves, but no
such infraction of the rules is permitted.
He must either go back to his hotel, if
he has come to the station with the
idea that he could leave at that hour.
or take his ticket by some roundabout
route that he has no desire to follow.
Spanish ticket agents are uncOmmonlv
slow and stupid. Three trains may be
about to leave one after the other for
different points. You may wish to go
by the second or third. and having
cone to the station you take yourplace

less. The tickets are only being sold
for the first train, and that must be
dispatched before any can be sold for
the second. So you leave the line and
wait, and are fortunate if you are able
to get your ticket and take your place
before every available seat has been oc-
cupied. Even in cities of some size

often in one corner of the baggage
room. Station-hOuses are always dirty,
and agents and tickct-takers are often
unclean and take your ticket with fin
gers contact with which seems unde-
sirable. First-class coaches are about
as good as the second-class in France
and Italy, while the second-class are no
more comfortable than those of the
third-class in those countries. Cars of all
grades in France are cushioned and
warmed in winter, not as comfortably
as in America, but with chauferettes,
which are heated and placed in the
cars at certain stations. 1t is as cold
or colder in all the central and northern
parts of Spain, but no such comfort

crash of our store-house, lower down.
That was made of wood and iron. The
water made a clean smash of it and
washed off barrels of -four, meat, coal,
powder-everything in it-making a
total wreck! How our tent hung on
there is marvellous. But, as soldiers
know, stout canvas tent will outliye
any house, in gale, if strongly bound

"Well, gentlemen, when that second
wave went over, and we heard the
store-house go, we were thoroughly
demoralized. We jumped to get out of
the tent and, like half-drowned rats,
were all for climbing up on the highest
part of the rock And if Mr.. Ballan-
tyne had not had q cool head and
steady nerves, not man of us would
have lived to tell the tale; and it is safe
to say that no light would be shining
on old Tillamook tonight.

right where you are!' And he jumped
in the way of us when we tried to get
out past him. STEADY! steady! he
shouted. DO as l do. Down and

on the top of the rock, no man could
stand or live, but would be blown off.
or washed off in moment.
THAT saved us, doing as he babe us.
We hung to the ring bolts and kept in
the tent. Four or i've more of these
tlood-wayes broke over; but the tempest
decreased in violence after midnight,
and from that abated gradually for the
next twenty-four hours.
But it was a fortnight before the
cutter could cross Columbia Bar and
come down to us; and meantime we
had to live on the scanty supply of food
which, by Mr.. Ballantyne's prudent
orders, had been brought up in strong
boxes from the store-house that morn
ing and secured under tarpaulin in
the tent; we were even obliged to melt
ice and snow for water.
"At Astoria, the people had given us
up for lost, and a rumOr had spread

rock.

and went on till the thirtieth of Nav,
1880, when the site for the masonry
was cleared. During that time we had
blasted%f four thousand six hundred
and thirty cubic yards of rock.
During June, derricks and land
ing-stage for receiving the cut-stone
from Astoria were set up; and soon the
masons were busy. The cornerstone
was laid June %; and the lighthouse
was completed January 8, 1881, and on
the night of January 81, thirteen days
later, the light flashed forth over the
black expanse of the Pacific.for the first
time. In all, the work had occupied
five hundred and seventy-three days
from the date of its commencement.
''Altogethcr, it is noble piece of
work, and it is one of the few things ilr

And SO they married.
Nor did they once regret the step,

Proved rainbow bubbles.

And SO they braved the sea OF life
And rOwed together.
And by and by the sun broke forth,
showing them peaceful haven,
In which to rest and seek the Joys
They long had craven.

While Autumn falling did but bring
Still richer treasure.

AN OLD SALTS LAMENT.

His Views Upon the Accomplishments Of
Modern Tars.
''Goin' to sea is not what it used to
be, by q long shot, and the sailor of
to-day can lead gentleman's life If he
chooses" said an old seaman, recently,
as he sat in ship chambers store on
South Delaware street, putting at very
strong and highly-colored clay pipe.
He is tall and angular, and gave up the
sea several years ago to become a land
lubber, although his face and hands
still show the effects of long exposure.

tinued. - sailor who shipped before
the mast had to be an able seaman.
There was mono O. your lubbers as there
are nowadays. One-hah of 'em as goes
to sea now don't know fore from aft,
and if they were told to go up aloft and
clew up sail they'd stare at the Cap
tain or mate with open mouth to find
out what he meant. Now, when I was
a sailor. and goin' from here to Frisco
and other points. if we got ahold O. one
o. them coves we'd beat knowledge
into him. If he couldn't do able sea-
mans work we'd put him down for
ordinary seaman's duty, aud if he
couldn't do that we'd start him right
at the beginning and beat him through
until he'd become as good q man as
there was in the crew.
Things is changed, though, since

in this country and the United States
Commissioners make things easy for
the sailor, and that's why I say he can
lead gentleman>s life. There was no
goin' to law when I was before the mast.
When row sprung up on board ship
it was always settled with marlinspikes
and Delaying pins. and the man who
could walk after the fight was over was
put down as the winner As it is now
in this country, if Cap'n has bad
crew and looks at 'em cross-eyed
they'll have him up before q United
States Commissioner quicker'n light

right, s'poee, and it what good peo-
pie call civilization, but then it don't
make good seamen.
"Why, it's only a few days ago that
I was talkSn' to Cap'n, and he told
me that in all his crew there was not a
man that he could trust at the wheel
outside of his mates. He had run afoul
some bad weather, and he and his mates
had to serve their times at the wheel
through it. all, as every one of his crew
said they'd never handled q wheel, and
didn't know anything about it. That's
a sample of the men as ships before the
mast now and is called Sailors

over the old seaman's countenance as

himself quietly back in his chair and

MARRIAGE STATISTICS.
Tho Most Marrying People Among the
European Nations.

Vh0 N0OSC m1ITylnS fcOple among the
European Nations.
The English are a people much given
to matrimony. Not only is their aver
age annual marriage rate higher than
those of all other European countries,
with the exception of the German and
Austro-Hungarian Empires, but, says
the Register-General, they also marry
at an earlier age than is the case in any
other European country excepting Rus
STA. In Russia very large proper
ton of the marriages are between boys
and girls under twenty years Of age,
and it is stated that no less than from
sixty to seventy per cent. of the con.
scripts, who can not be over twenty.
one years of age, are already married
when they come to be enrolled in the
army. The explanation given of this
strange anomaly by NJ. Pietro Seme-
now is that in Russia the population
contains an enormous proportion of
small agriculturists, who are in the
habit of marrying their sons at as early
an age as possible (the legal age being
eighteen for males) in order to secure
an additional female laborer. Putting
aside this exceptional case of Russia, it
will be seen that in no other country
of which the statistics are given is the
proportion Of either males or females
who were under twenty-five at the
time of marriage SO high as in Eng
land. Very young brides, brides that
is to say under twenty years of age,
are proportionally more common IL
France; but with this exception, and
of course that of Russia, the figures
for England in each of the first two
columns, both for males and females,
are higher than that for any Other
country. = Chicago Isterios.

NAsHvTLIR, TESS., February 49,
In the Circuit Court to-day Mary Phil
lips recovered judgment for $1,000
against the Nashville, Chattanooga
and st. Louis railroad. Her husband
was killed in 1882 in an accident on
that road, due to the negligence of the
employees OF the company.
THE POST NOTES.
The opinion is generally entertained
that the State will be defeated in the
suit now pending to compel the State
to fund the post notes OF the
Bank OF Tennessee. The act
Of the General Assembly Of 1885
provides for the redemption OF these
notes of $500 and $1,000 dated Septem-
Der !, 1881, and the small notes Of less
than S., but not less than 81, by the
issuance of certificates payable one
fifth each year for, a period of five
years, and receivable for taxes and
other dues to the State. Fractional
currency of less than 81 is
not eXchangeable under the act.
The final clause of the act pro-
vides that the certificates shall
not be receivable for county or munich
pal taxes. 1t was under this provision
that County Trustee Sneed refused to
accept the tender of $4,000 in these
post notes from the American National
Bank in payment of taxes.
