Caught BY an Artists Sketch.

Arti't3 do not always devote brush
and pencil TO the portrayal of the beau
tiful; sometimes those potent instru.
ments are turned into weapons which
may reasonably be feared by evil doers.
A ready hand and brain arc possessions
likely to come t) play under any cir
cumstances; they may even COPE success
fully with brute force. This following
adventure is told by Mulroady, tho
artists
One bright, moonlight night, in my
student days, | was walking in a street
in the out skirt OF Lonlon, little bet
ter than country lano, when a man
came out OF the shadow throwl by a
large trcc and produced pistol ad :
dressed me ia the usual robber fashion
with, Your watch aad moaoyr
81 am poor artist,' sail 1; "see,
these are my drawings. I have no
watch-I have never been able to buy
one" 'Your money then-and be

the fellows face; it was worry white,
aud think he was moro frightened
than wa. gave him all thu silver I
had about me; he sail Good night"
civilly enough, aad started eff towards
London. made the best of my way
homo, and before l went to bed l drew
the mans face very carefully.
The next morning l went to Bow
street with my drawing, hoping that it
might be rccog. lied by the officers
there, but mol The face, they said, was
new to them. IF you lcavo the ike
ness here" sail the chief detective,
1--WE may perhaps como across the per-
son it represents" That very soon
happened-a fortnight had hardly
elapsed before I was called upon to
identify the man who had robbed me.
He had been arrested for murder and
was easily convicted-[Saa Francisco

A Shotgun,s Tremendous Load.

The Ordinary shotgun, however per-
feet it may be, il altogether too tam,
and ineffective a weapon for the pro-
fcssionai Potomac duca-hunter says
the Washington Post. II, must have
something that mowJ down the game
like a machine. Ho generally uses
what ho calls "big qua" the barrel
of which il from 10 to Is feet long,
aud which carries a pound and half
of shot and a half-pound of powder.
This engine of destruction is placed on
a sort.of pivot or rest il the bow of a
boat or skiff, with the muzz'e extend
ing overheard and the butt resting
against a packing OF rags or something
similar ia the bottom of the craft
The man who uses it lies down fiat
in the bottom and approaches the ducks
on the water by means of what is called
a 'creeping paddle" which is v-ry
short aud which is work cd by one hand
stretched over the side Of the boat.
When a point has been reached suffi-
cicntly near the ducks, some movement
ia made to frlghtou tn IN, and as they
rise in great nuttering black clouds the
"big Gun" is fired into their mid it,
sometimes kiIliag many dozan.
The rebouad of there guns Ia sn-As..s
that they sometimes throw fh5 skill
beck 40 feet, and even sometimes sink
it. The force of the rebound is caught
by the packing in the bottom Of the
boat, ard, as may be imagined, not
against the shoulder of tn, man who
fires it. Another device of similar
character, practiccd by Potomac mar
let hunters, is to arrange from seven to
10 old mu'ket barrels on the edge of a
boat and have tho triggers Of all Of
them connected by stri g which
when pulled explodos the cntiro set. In
this way as many as 200 ducks have
been killed at one fire, many OF them
canvas backs.

The Music of the Ancients.

The Egyptian flute was only a cows
horn with three or four holes in it. and
their harp or Tyre had only three strings;
the Grecian Tyre had only seven strings
and was very small, being held in ono
hand; the Jewish trumpets that made
the walls of Jericho fall down, were
only rams horns; their flute was the
samo as the Egyptian; they had no in
strumcntaI music but by percussion, of
which tho greatest boast made was the
psaltery, small triangular harp or Tyre
with wire strings, and struck with an
iron needle or stick; their sacbut was
something like bagpipe; the timbrel
was tambourine, and the dulcimer
was a horizontal harp, with wire
strings, and struck with stick like the
psaltery. They had no written music;
had scarcely a vowel in their language,
and yet. according to Josephu, they
had 200, 600 musicians playing at the
dedication of the Temple of solomon.
