There is only one machine mill in
Morocco, says the liverpool Merc,tyu.
Ii belongs TO an enterprising citizen of
the United States named Cobb. It's
erection was utterly illegal. The
prejudice against the machinery among
the Moors is as strong as IL used TO be
among English hand-loom weavers.
Mr.. Cobb's application for the authori-
zation of his mill was rejected. The
prime minister would not hear of it;
the sultan absolutely forbade the new
tangled method Of grinding corn. Mr..
Cobb, however, went fright ahead"
He built his mill; he put in his ma
chinery. Only one finishing touch was
necessary. The grinding stones were
duly delivered at the wharf. But this
gave the authorities their opportunity
and they calmly impounded them. IL
was useless going TO the Moorish gov
eminent, so Mr.. Cobb applied to the
United States representative. He got
formal reply, informing him that,
since the prime minister and the sultan
had both forbidden the execution Of
the project, il would be idle for him TO
expect any assistance from the formal
representative of the United States.
The letter was all that Capt. Cobb
needed. He took IL 90 the local au-
thorities, who had HIS grinding stones
in charge. and asked them IL they
could read English. "Nol' Then
read this" cried Capt. Cobb. There
were the arms OF the United States;
there was an undoubted Official sig.
nature; and Capt. Cobb said he was
going straight ahead" with his mill.
Nobody knew what complication
might ensue II this determined Amer
lean were disappointed The stones
were given up, the mill was finished,
and the next time the sultan came
that way he sent all his corn to be
ground by machinery.

CHAPTER III.
Ia the Spring young mans fancy
Lightly tuIns Ia thoughts of love.

March set in mild and genial. and
then suddenly changed and became
intensely cold. Once more the earth
was covered with a white tleecy mantle;
once more the icicles hung in a thou !.
sand queer shapes and forms on the
gabled roof OF the old hall. Once
more the lake at Hadlow was frozen
hard, and firm, and smooth, and
thither daily came crowds OF gaily-
dressed g.r.s, TO skim and glide over
the clear dark surface.
Whyte Melville said that woman
meyer looks So well as in u riding hab-
it, but he might have altered his
opinion could he have seen Dorothy
skimming light as bird over the
frozen waters.
A high linen collar could never
show the delicate curve of her cheek
TO so much advantage as did the dark
costly sables that trimmed the ruby
velvet dress she wore, or a stiff tall hat
frame so becomingly the rudy auburn
hair as did the fur trimmed togue that
was perched SO coquettishly on her
bright head.
Her costume was perfect, tight and
trim no floating ends 70 endanger the
necks and buttons of passers.by.
The short skirt revealed the pretty
feet and curving insteps. Fur was
everywhere, save round the slender
waist. and the scette graceful figure
was set of TO infinite advantage by IL.
Her eyes were bright with the ex-
element and pleasure of the exercise,
her cheeks softly flushed. Among
many pretty girls she was the prettiest,
and Jack was decidedly of that opn-
ion as he held her hands and skated
swiftly along by her side.

bluff, hard riding, ox-hunting country
squires.

A Rich Gold Field.

The ground on which Philadel-
phia is built is claimed to be one
the richest gold fields in the world.
The only difficulty is that the field
cannot be worked. Nearly the whole
city is underlaid with clay to the
depth of about ten feet-an area
say ten miles square. A cubic foot
of clay, weighing 120 pounds, taken
from a depth of fourteen feet when
the cellar of'the Twelfth-street mar
ket house was excavated, was prac-
tically demonstrated to contain
seven-tenths of a grain of gold, or
one pound in 1,224,000. The ex-
pertinent was repeated with about
the same results with clay taken
from a brickyard in the suburbs.
Supposing the whole mass of clay
to be 4,180,000,000 pounds, (and
it is really much greater), the
amount of gold would reach in
value the enormous sum of 1885,
100000. The gravel is much richer
in gold than the clay, but there is
not so much of it. Undoubtedly
5000, 100000 worth of gold lies
within fifteen feet of the surface,
and still it cannot be used.-Ex.

GREAT BEER DRINKERS.

"Beer wagon drivers eat less and
drink more than any class of peo-
pie living" The speaker was big
brewer and knew what he was talk
ing about. eyes," he continued,
"the wagon drivers drink beer 50
frequently and so continuously that
they are almost constantly in q
drowsy condition. They drink ne
chanically, whether they want it or
not, and l never knew one to refuse
an invitation to have more. They
seem to think it is their duty to
swill all the beer they can put down.
They get into the habit at the brew
cry. Every brewery has what is
called tap-room, which is nothing
more nor less than free bar. Beer
is always on tap there, and the en-
ployees have free access to it, with
the privilege of helping themselves
whenever they please. Whenever
a breweryman goes to the tap-room
for beer he never drinks fewer than
two glasses. These are turned off
in the twinkling of an eye. The
men drink so much that they lose
their natural inclination to eat like
other people. They seldom eat a
hearty meal, bite now and again
between drinks being sufficient to
appease the appetite. There are
few brewerymen who drink less than
hundred glasses Of beer a day,
and I know of some who never go
to bed without taking in that num-
ber and twenty-five more. ."-Phila-

A CARGO OF CRIMINALS.

was enabled this morning to
inspect the internal arrangements
Of the Russian convict transport
Nizhni-Novgorod, which sails hence
this evening with 46O criminal de-
porters for the Russian penal Island
of Saghalien. The Nizhni- -Novgorod
is an iron steamer of about $500
tons burden and is specially fitted
as convict transport. With a full
compliment of convicts the vessel
carries 652. The more desperate
characters are manacled and chain
ed to iron staples in their berths,
from which they are released when
necessary. Among the 400 con-
victs carried by the Nizhni-Novgo-
rod about 100 are murderers. Upon
the greater number of these mur-
derers, in addition to their various
terms of hard labor in the mines
and quarries, will be inflicted upon
arrival, number of blows from
the knout, varying from fifty to one
hundred and twenty-five, according
to their crimes. Manacled and
crouching at the end of one Of the
cages was convict about thirty
Ave years of age. There was moth
ing particularly villainous in the
mans face, though it was by no
means we'll favored by nature.
What struck me especially was his
pallid look and apparently general
bodily languor. Several years ago
this man had committed murder
and was sent to Siberia for life, the
first FIVE years hard labor to be
worked in the mines. After the ex-
piration of his mine labor he man.
aged to escape and was only rear
rested after committing a second
murder. He is now sentenced to
mine labor in Saghalien for life, to
receive 1875 blows of the knout on
arrival on the island, and thereafter
to be chained to his barrow or hand
wagon for the first twelve months
of his sentence. In these cases
there is no Enchanting; the chains
are welded on the convict's limbs.

poor wretch will exist under the
conditions of his first years pun

has spent some years of official SER
