He had acted as OvCrscSr here be-
cause he was needed. Some one less
capable would do now, for affairs
were running smoothly again, and
the Easton Mills needed his atten-
ton. And they said he had much
other property there, besides.
One mild, sunny day-an Indian
summer aftprnOOn-he came with u
carriage to take Miss Hannah over
to Easton for Il ride. They drove to
the mills and around them; then
about town. He drove slowly past u
large, stately house, suggestive of
gracious uses and generous hospital
tiles.

Lucky Jest.

The French author MurtinviIIr,
who began his career toward the
close of the last century, is said to
have owed the preservation of his
lie TO Il witty piece of auducity. He
was a hOyalist, and did not hesitate
to attack the French revolution and
its authorities. Presently, Ofcourse,
he was summoned to appear before
the revolutionary tribunal, with the
terrible EOuquicr at its head.
The revolutionary tribunals at
that time did not hesitate to send
everybody to the guilIotine who had
vcntured to attack them. Martini
vile expected to go with the rest OF
the victims.
"What is your name?" asked the
revolutionary judge.
"MartainviIle, " said the young aI-
thor,
"Martainville!!" exclaimed the
Judge. "You are deceiving us, and
trying to hide your rank. You are
an aristocrat, and your name is De
Martainvillp.
"Citizen President" exclaimed the
young man, Il am here to be short
ened, notlengthcned! Leave me my
namo.'
A true Frenchman loves witticism
above all things, and the tribunal
was SO much pleased by Martuin-
ville's grim response, that it spared
his life

Wonders Of the Dead Sea.

Missionary Herald.
One OF the most interesting lakes
or inland seas in the world is the
Dead Sea, which has no visible out
let. 1t is not mere fancy that has
clothed the Dead Sea in gloom. The
desclatc shores with scarcely green
thing in sight, and scattered over
with black stones and ragged drift
wood, form a fitting frame for the
dark, sluggish waters, covered with
a perpetual mist, and breaking in
slow heavy, sepulchraltoned waves
upon the beach, 1t seems as if the
smoke of the wicked cities was yet
ascending up to heaven, and as if
the moan of their fearful sorrow
would never leave that God-smitten
valley.
1t is a strange thing to see those
waves, not dancing along and spark
ling in the sun, as other waves do,
but moving with measured melan-
chOly, and seneing to the ear, as
they break languidly upon the rock,
only doleful sounds. This is, no
doubt, owing to the great heaviness
of the water, n fact well known and
which weamply verified in the usual
way, for, on attempting to swim, we
went floating about like empty casks.
This experiment was more satisfac-
tory in its progress than in its re-
suits, which were q very unCtuOus
skin and a most pestiferOus stinging
of every nerve, as if we had been
beaten with nettles. Nor was the
water we took into our mouth a whit
less vile than the nauseous drugs OF
the apOthecary.
That fish cannot live in this strong
solution of bitumen and salt is too
EObvious to need proof; but to say
that birds cannottiy over it and live
rs one of the eXaggcrations of travel
ers, who perhaps were not, like our
selves, so fortunate as to see a flock

Making Fun.

Salem, (Muss) Gazette.
Once when travelling in a stage
coach met ayOunglady who seemed
to be upon the constant lookout for
sonnet hing luu~habIr; and not con
tent with laughing herself, took great
palms to make others do the same.
Now, travelling in Il stage coach is
rather proSy business. People in the
situation are apt to show themselves
petvish and selfish; so the Young
lady's good humor was, for a time,
very agreeable to the travellers.
Every old barn was made the subject
of passing Joke, while the COWS and
hens looked demurcly ON, little
dreaming that folks could be merry
ut their EXPENSE Animals are not
sensitive in that respect. They are
not likely to have their feelings in
iured because people make fun OF
them: but when we come to human
beings that is quite another thing.

A little book of more than ordinary interest
has Just been published by Col. Hans MattsOn.
1t relates to the 2J0th anniversary of the
Swedish settlements in America and cont aims
valuable historical information from Old
colonial times. There is in it a fine picture
of the old Swedes church at Wilmington,
Del. one of the most valuable antiquities in
the country.
The eloquent and instructive address d"liv-
cred on the occasion by Hon. W. W. Thomas,
.Jr., is also given in full; and Hon. Pcnnock
Pussy, for many years a well known citizen OF
this state but now resident at Wilmington
contributes most interesting and finely
written historical sketch of the Swedes in
both hemispheres Less vOluminOus, though
hardly inferior in interest, are several letters
from persons in some way Unidentified with
the history and fate of the Delaware Swedcs.
Prominent among these. is the present SpCrC-
tary of state Hon. T. +. BAyard, who,
with feeling and evident pleasure. re crs
to the many ties that link himself and
his family to the Swedish settlements on
the Delaware. The secretary indeed traced
his ancestry on the maternal side back 0 q
Swedish lady who married Joseph Willing, an
Englishman from Bristol who owned the
land on which the first Swedish settlement
was made, and from whom the present city
of Wilmington derives its name.
The book is neatly gotten up. and in order
to defray the cost of publication a limited
number will be offered for sale Every student
of American history should read the book,
and it ought to be preserved in the libraries
of the country.
1t will be sent, post paid, on receipt of 81
per copy, or of s. for sin Orders should
be addressed to Col II. Muttson Capitol, St.
Paul, MINI.

10 the Editor OF The EVENING STAR:
Allow me, as a subscriber to your paper who
has never made complaint of any kind
through the press before, to enter a protest
against people being put to the inconvenience
i was caused last night. After retiring, about
1870 o'clock, smelt something like gas escap-
ing in the room. Feeling confident had turned
the gas of and then on again arose and went
all over the house in vain endeavor to find
the gas Jet that was escaping. / finally came
to the conclusion that il was not in the house
but in the air, and the only way to get rid of
the smell was to close all the windows which is
anything but proper on a sultry night. This
morning on my way to work was informed by
a car driver that the odor was from a large
tank Of the gas company, 18th and NJ street
southeast, and live fully three-quarters of
mile from where they make gas from oil in
stead Of coal. Now, don't know the merits
or dement's Of either, but do know that the
people in this city pay enough for gas as COM
pared to the cost in other cities to get the very
best. This is not the first time have been
tempted to write about this nuisance for last
winter. when visiting in the neighborhood of
the tank, saw the people compelled to close
their houses more than once for the same
reason, and / am confident there must have
been hundreds who suffered az did last night.

THE ELECTRIC LIoHT.-Tne work upon the
Schuyler electric Light plant here continues,
but 1t seems likely that the lighting of the
town by electricity, which was fixed at first for
the 4th Of July and afterward expected to take
place on the 10th Of August, will again be post
poned. Many OF the posts are up. There are
open holes on many street corners for other
posts, and the engine and boiler have been put
up in the dynamo house at the city gas works,
but none OF the wires are yet strung, and the
advance in the work does not justify an antici-
patton of electric lighting within ten days. The
town will, however, be Lit by electricity before
the close of August.
