TIE Tragedy of GIenlucc.

A few years ago the writer found his
way along the curying shore of Galloway
to the cottage of grim old Scotch
woman. Grace McCredie. She was the
survivor of what had become famous in
| Scotland, and had become known be-
yond the bounds of Scotland, as the
Glenluce murder. To find Glenluce you
had to cross the Solway and turn to the
| left towards the Irish Sea. But when
you found it, and had spent an hour IN
visiting the ruins Of the lovely abbey, it
was easy TO find Grace and the house
where that midsummer tragedy had
taken place, for half the horror Of
the crime-never yet explained or
traced to its true perpetrators-was
that it broke in upon the long summer
night OF one Of the Quietest villages in
rural Scotland. The house where 1t took
place was-and is-in the centre of the
village, close TO the post-oflice. Its in
mates all slept in the two rooms on the
ground floor, and of these two the back
room opened into the front one, and
could only be reached through it. On
the night of May 81, 1850, Grace. then
an elderly woman between sixty and
seventy, went to bed in the outer room
or kitchen. But before she did so James
Milligan, the old man for whom she
acted as housekeeper, had gone to -est in
the inner apartment. The only other
person III the house was young girl,
who assisted Grace in her household du-
ties, and who usually crept in and slept
in the bed behind her. This night all re-
NAMED quiet till about ! o'clock, when
the wakeful ear of age was reused by
what seemed to be q football, and Grace,
rising on her elbow, asked, "Who is
there ?" The answer was heavy rain
Of blows from an axe or Ratchet, and the
old woman, struggling out of bed, crap
pied in the dark with her armed assall-
ant He spoke no word, but strove to
free his right hand, and went whiTling
about the room in deadly wreStle with
his victim, who now, faint with loss OF
blood, tried 10 escape from the room.
Two heavy blows laid her moaning and
sense.ess on the threshold, with cash in
the shoulder and others on the arm and
face. In the room within deadlier TRACE
dy had already been enacted. Milligan
was even now lying there PROSTATE on
the floor from blows Of the same axe
and when, quarterof an hour later, the
borfor-struck villagers burst into house
filed with smoke and flame, they were
too late to rescue the old man. But
Grace recovered consciousness and
fought with death for six weeks as she
had fought with the murderer, till, long
before our meeting, the Grim Feature
confessed himself badly beaten. And
now she sat bolt upright on one side OF
her fire, her black cat winking
on the other, wiry Meg Merrillss
figure, gaunt and gray, and told
the story with slow emphasis
which passed into shudder when speak

unavenged. For Grace was not only
angry, but suspicious. 1t was not clear

man from the South had in making ali |

The Elephants.


The origin Of the great proboscidian
race in general, and of the mammoth
and elephant group in particular. like
the early history Of Jeames de la Pluche,
is "wrOp in obscurity." All we can say
about them with any confidence is that
they form a comparatively late order OF
mammals, whose earliest recognizable
representative in geological time is
the monstrous deinotherium, an
aquatic animal with long
trunk, and with two immense
curved tusks, projecting downward
paradoxically from his lower instead OF
his upper jaw. The deinotherium makes
his first appearance upon this or any
other stage IN the Mioceno period but
As he couldn't, Of course, have appeared

already a fairly specialized and highly

f1r granted that his earlier ancestry,
though ancient aud respectable in
its own time, had long passed
away, leaving not wrack be-
hind, so far as yet known. in the matter
OF tangible geological vouchers These
unknown ancestors, in all probability,
gave birth during their earlier and more
plastic stage-for species, like indi-
viduals, are most readily nodded in
their green youth--to three main family
branches. The senior branch produced
tue deinotherium, vast brute, who,
finding the world too full 10 hold him
about the close OF the tertiary period,
demised suddenly without issue, lessing
the honoTs Of the family in sdbse-
quent ages to the junior members. The
second branch produced the mastodons,
huge creatures OF elephantic outline and
majestic tread, most Of them with tusks
both in the upperand lower jaws, though
the under pair were always the smallest.
The third branch produced the true ele-
plants, including both our modern In
dian and African species, as well as the
mammoth himself, and many other extinct
congeners All the elephants proper
have but one solitary pair OF tusks,
and that pair is quite correctly located in
the upper jaw instead of the under one.
Thus is evolution justified OF al her
children. The trne elephants made their
first appearance, so far rs known, in the
Pliocene period--that is 10 say. the epoch
immediately preceding the Great Ice
Age in Europe and America. They

writer affords glimpse Of M extraordi-
nary feature of the coliery work at the
port of Nsgasaki, few miles distant
from the mine. Not less than 5000
women are kept upon the staff Of the en-
terprise for the purpose OF filling the
bunkers of vessels there arriving. The
method pursued is peculiar TO Nagasaki.
Lighters carrying the coal come along
side the ship to be supplied, and with
each of them is a regiment OF women
and girls. These form themselves into
the loop Of chain, connecting the hold
OF the lighter with the deck of
the steamer. In moment the
hands and arms OF this chain
begin TO move with surprising rapid
ity and the precision OF long practice ;
and little bags full of coal pass up one
side of the loop, aud the same bags de-
scend the other side empty. There Is
not a seconds delay. The business goes
ON with lightning like nimbleness, amid
the laughter and chatter of the cheerful
workers. The results achieved are most
remarkable. UEder favorable circum-
stances as to receiving capacity, a vessel
can have 400 tons of coal put into her
bunkers in a hour, and the neatness OF
the process is scarcely inferior to its
CELEBRITY. Such an organization would
