A Good Terrapin Story.

A man here started terrapin farm
down the bay and raised great many
thousands, says Baltimore correspond
ent of the New York Times One season
they were very scarce and commanded
tremendous prices, SO he sent down
an iron steamer to be loaded She
came back with 10000 terrapin, but
when the process of removal was
attempted it was seen that they
had had grand rough and tumble
fight and were locked, head and tail, in
one solid mass. They tried crowbars and
failed. Persuasion was likewise of no
avail, and scientists averred that while
a powerful blast of dynamite might dis
lodge few, it would not improve their
flavor and advised his selling the whole
mass as a job lot and letting the pur-
chaser remove them.
This was an idea and the rich old ras.
cal advertised his terrapins for week,
but got no bids he thought Of accepting.
Finally Boston man telegraphel that
he would take the lot at regular market
rates, provided that the owner would
lend him the iron steamer that held
them. This was gladly assem- ed to, and
all Baltimore crowded t. see the fun
when the Poston man would try to get
the terrapin apart.
The old skinfint received his money
and signed the lease of the vessel. The
Boston man had her drawn up on the dry
dock, cargo and all Then he had a fire
engine come down and pump he half full
of water, and added two hogsheads of
salt. Huge iron cisterns were then filed
with alcohol, with a bale of cotton in
each, showed under the keel and lighted.
In vain the miser danced and swore and
begged off his contract-the Eoston man
said he had bought the terrap;n and
leased the vessel, all at regular rates, and
couldn't get them apart, but that he was
not going to let any Baltimore sheiliish
zet ahead of him, if he had come from
Boston-not bit of 1.-THE was going to
cook 'em just where they were. And
cook them he did. The stew was canned
and sent to Boston, where it is used to

We have to give it up. The toughest
mosquito yarns come from down the
river. 1t is told of one of the crew of
the steamer Rocklelge, that after they
got into the inlet, when night came he
went to sleep in a stateroom, the win
dow to which was protected by a screen.
lie had scarcely fallen to sleep when he
was awakened by sense of suffocation--
the mosquitoes had throngcd the screen
and stuck their heads into the mcshcs
till they had excluded every particle of
air. He franticllly kicked out the screen,
and now he does not know whether he
would rather die of stuff )cation or
mosquito bites. Another veracious state
ment from below is that a young man
went to work for the fl st time on his
homestead, providing himself with a
good sandfy netting bar. The first
night he pitched tent, hung his net and
went to bed. For three days an | nights
he did not stir. TAc mosquitos ha so
thickly covered his net on the outside
that it was perfectly dark inside-he did
not know when daylight came Indian

A dispatch from Buffalo, August. 19, says:
Large crowds again wendell their way to
Niagara Falls. to day TO see Carlisle D.
Graham the first hero of the Whirlpool go
through this terrible dangerous piece of
water inihis. barrel for the second time. 1t
was announced that on this occasion he
would try it with his head and shoulders pro-
trudng He carried out his promise to the
letter, and promptly at o'clock was towed
out from the landing of the
Maid of Mist under horseshoe
fall He entered the barrel and was
soon adrift the cask bounding along as if a
piece Of cork At times Graham could
scarcely be seen, las the spray and foam would
dash over him, and it was thought when he
struck the rapids he would get completely in
the barrel until the danger was passed. He
did rot, however and when the barrel struck
the waves at the entrance to The pool, ant
where they rise to height of 80 feet, he gal
lantly kept his place, riding them safely and
going into the whirlpool with terrific speed.
Once in the maelstrom, he shot around and
around, when he was grabbed and towed in.
He says he mas had enough, and would not
go again for thousands OF dollars. He was
pretty well bruised, but not seriously. Ora
ham said he thought he would have been
drowned had he tried the lower rapids
A little later tragedy occurred which was
brought about through this craze for notori-
ty on the strength of feats at this awful spot.
James Scott, boatman, living at Lewiston,
thought he would eclipse all previous efforts
and go through in different way. He oh
tanned an ordinary life preserver and entered
the water at Thompson's point just below
the whirlpool, intending to go through the
lower rapids. One hour later he was found
dead at Lewiston. The affair created great
deal of excitement and cast gloom over tie
other part of the programme. 1t is now
thought the authorities will take the matter
in hand

to find them" The stammerer continued
his way. The wag, walking down the

The South American Nile.

This land must some day sustain a
population equal to its cxhsustess fertil-
ity says letter from the Argentine Re-
public to the Chicago Ns,os. Its great
Nile, the Parana, brings to it regularly
and annually untold wealth. There arc
only two great rivers on the globe that
rise in the tropics and flow out of them.
These are the Nile and the Parana.
When the sun travels II orth across the
great tropical seas he takes up vast car
goes of water and pours them out upon
the sources of the Nile, and it overfows
its banks. When he travels again across
the tropical seas southwark he takes up
vast quantities of water ana emptics
them upon the sources of the Parana and
it overhows, leaving incalculablc wealth
behind it. Thus these two great life
currents keep up their annual heart
throbs, responding to each other across
the equator. One is history, the other is
prophecy.

FOUND GUILTY
Of Murder in the First Degree.
Chicago Anarchists Hear tho Fatal Vcr-

A despatch from Chicago, Aug 30, says
every precaution was taken by the police to
prevent any uprising or demonstration of
any kind in or about the court room this
morning, when the jury In the Anarchists
trials should deliver their verdict, which, TO
some extent, has already been anticipated by
an eager public.
Very few spectators were permitted to
enter the court room. The relatives OF the
prisoners were, however, permitted TO enter
and shortly after o'clock the sister OF Sples,
accompanied by a young lady friend, mace
her appearance, She moved as though she
would proceed to close proximity Of the ehal, ,s

The verdict had already reached the crowd
on the outside, and while the jury was being

Tho Wooden Smoke Cure.

So much interest is expressed in the
cures of felons, bruises, etc., effected by
means of wooden smoke, that we give
the record of fresh case. Last Sunday
little child of five years old fell from
some high place upon his face and struck
three upper teeth entirely through the
upper lip. They had to be extracted,
but the agony of the wound was fearful.
His mother left him in some ones care
and went out to do her washing on Mon
day. She was told of the smoke cure,
and when she went back on Monday eve
ming applied it to the child. She took
the precaution to put cent upon the
hole in the inverted flower pot, that she
might regulate the smoke, and guarding
his nose and mouth from inhaling it, ap-
piled it to the wounded lip and the VOL
emily concusscd jaw. In ten minutes the
pain was much relieved. In an hour the
child seemed as we'll as ever, except that
the mouth was sore, and he could only
drink, not cat. Boston transcript.

ANOTHER FAILURE REPORTED.
A Devonshire Street Broker Unable &c
Meet His ENGAGEMENTS.

John c. Watson, broker, No 20 Devonshir
exchange by the president, on the 10Th, was
unable to meet his engagements. Mr.. Wat
son could not be found in Boston, but his
book keeper said that he probably was at
Nahant, where he is boarding IL is Just pos
s.ble that Mr. Watson is not aware of the
announcements it came about in peculiar
way. Mr.. Watson has been a bull in the stock
market The recent defalcation of Treasurer
Gray, the assignment of Mr.. Payson and the
arrest of Mr.. Smelling, caused sudden de-
cline in stocks and general unsteadineas
which effected the stock business very mate
rally and to Mr. Watson's injury. Mr.. Wat
sons book-keeper was seen at the office and
said: "When Mr.. Watson left here last even
ing for Nahant he told me that he did not
know whether or not he would be in in the
morning, as he was not feeling well. This
morning he did not come in, but sent his boy
to tell me that he would not be in to-day as
he was sick in bed at home Several people
with whom he was doing business came in
during thu morning and had to tell them
thatFhe would not be in and that he could not
meet his engagements. | knew that they
would have an advantage over other credit
ors by knowing the failure first, and so |
thought it was my duty to go over to the
sto~k exchange and inform the president
that Mr.. Watson could not meet his engage
ments, and let him announce it in proper
form for the benefit of all his creditors. This
was done in order that they could look after
themselves ] don't know whether Mr.. Wat
son knows of the announcement or not.
There has been no assignment made, but
simply an out and out failure. 1t is impos-
sible to say at present how Mr.. Watsons
affairs stand, and it will probably be several
DAYS before'the books can be overhauled."

The Power OF Perfumes.

II has been shown that the odorifer-
Gus molecule Of musk is inflnitesimally
small. No power has yet been con-
ceived to enable the human eye to see
one of the atoms of musk, yet the organs
of smell have the sensitiveness to detect
them. Their smallncss cannot even be
imagined and the same grain of musk
undergoes absolutely no diminution in
weight, A single drop Of the oil of
thyme, ground down with piece OF
sugar and little alcohol will commuui'
cate its odor to 20 gallons of water.
Haller kept for forty years papers per-
fumed with one grain of ambcrgris. Az
ter this time the odor was as strong as
ever. Bordenave has cvaluated mole
Guile or camphor sensible to the smell to
@,562, 5Si, O00th of grain. Boyle has
observed that one drachm of assafetida
exposed to the open air had lost in six
days the eight part of a grain, from
which Kell concludes that in one min.
ute it had lost 100, 12Oth part of 0
grain,
