to give you chill to note his wicked

When Finch saw this shark he said
he would drive him away. The cap

Finch waited until the officers were off
their guard, and then went overheard
off the ice bow with a great splash
There was a wild cry from the crew

up and laughed and swan around the
stern of the ship. The big man eater
had backed off about twenty feet at the
splash. but TWO others, almost as large,
had come up on the quarters, and there
lay the wlckedest fish in the Atlantic
ocean. Everybody shouted and ges-
tured, and half dozed ropes. ends
were thrown to Tom, but he would
not mind us. He suddenly sank below
the surface and made bee line for the
big fish, and, to my surprise, the old
fellow darted aside to escape the col

1t is truth to the letter that Tom

hour he padded about in the water and

A piece of blubber was tied up in an old
coat and dropped overheard, and he
made dash of a hundred feet and
bolted it down like a flash. He then
took up his station off our quarter, and
not over thirty feet away, and the

long leap right at him. The shark
went off like streak and we saw him

But relief came at last.
General Harrison very sensibly CON

enquiries with view to ascertainin,

The medicines were preparations O

for generations among people living IL

a rean of natural coke, lately discov-
cred in Utah, is described by Prof.
Wheeler, of st. Louis. The coke is
produced by the combined action of
heat and pressure caused by an eruption
of volcanic substances through the coal
bed, which lies in the vicinity of Pleas
ant Valley, Utah. On either side of the
dixie formed by the eruption a mass of
the natural coke has been formed, but
not in sufficient quantity to be of prac-
tical value. 1t is, however, valuable
scientific discovery, since it is the first
instance in which this substance has
been found in the West. Coal taken
from portions of the same bed beyond
the influence Of volcanic action pro-
duces but very inferior quality of
coke when treated in an ordinary coke
oven, from which it is inferred that
the heat and pressure which produced
the natural coke, which is equal to the
best manufactured, must have been
much greater than that Of the oven.
Natural coke has been found before IN
the Alleghenies, but this is the first time
it has been discovered in the Rocky
mountains.

DRINK IN THE STREET.

Drunk, your Worship" the officer said:
Drunk IN the street, sir" She raised
her head
A lingering trace Of the golden grace
Still softened the lines of her woe-worn
face,
Unkempt and tangled her Itch brown
hair,
Yet with all the fnrrows and stains Of
The years of anguish and sin and des-
The child Of the city was passing fair.
The ripe red mouth, with lips COM
pressed
The rise and fall Of the heaying breast
The nervous fingers, so taper and small,
Crumpled the fringe of the tattered shawl,
AS she stood in her place at the officers
call.
She seemed good and fair, she seemed
tender and sweet,
This fallen woman found drunk in the
street.
Does the hand that once smoothed the
ripple and wave
Of that tangled hair lie still i'll the grave?
Is that mother who pressed those red
lips to her own
Deaf to the pain Of their smothered
moan?
Has the voice that chimed to the liSping
prayer
No accent Of hope for the lost one there,
Bearing her burden of sin and despair:
Drunk in the street-in the gutter found
From passionate longing 20 crush and
down
The soul of the woman she might have
To fling off the weight Of fearful dream,
And awake again il the homestead hard
by,
And wooded mountain that touched the
sky;
To ilger awhile on the path to school
And catch in the depth of the llmpii
pool,
Under the willow shade, green and cool,
A dlmpled face and a laughing eye,
Ard the pleasant word of a passer by.
Ye men with sisters and mothers and
wives,
Have ye no care for these women's lives:
Must they starve for the comfort they
never speak?
Must they ever be erring and sinful and
weak
Staggering on with weary feet,
| Stained in the cutters and drunk in the
street?

Senator Vnncc's knowledge Of
Scripture.
Templar.

Vance is a North Carolinian, now
in his 50th year, and in his tenth
year in the Senate. Before he was
elected to the Office lie now holds he
had served two years IN the house
and had held number Of offices in
his native State, and had rendered
valiant service to the cause of seces
sion, rising to the rank Of major
general. He was in Lees army at
the surrender at Appomattox. Vance
is rather large in build and heavy In
form, with silverY white hair and q
stubby mustache of the same color.
His voice is rather rapish and nasal.
and he might be regarded ss down
East Yankee from the tone of his
speech but he is Southerner, with
all the Southern ,raits strongly
marked in his character. His humOr,
of which he has a very abundant
fund, is Of the Southern type Vance
evidently comes from family that
WAS very religious and devout. His
language at many times is striklngly
like that of the Bible. Phrase after
phrase of his speeches are we'll
known texts of Scripture. His
SMILES are often derived from Holy
Writ and there IS strong religious
coloring IN all his remarks. The
principal characteristic Of his mind,
however, is his humOr. He is the
funny man of the Senate. He has
an inexhaustible storehouse Of anec.
dotes which he relates cleyerly and
always with aptness. He has light
ened up the dull and dry details Of
the tariff with humor and wit, which
has many times provoked hearty
laugh in the Senate; but his assault
on the system of protection is hard>
| II regarded as serious. 1t is gOOG
humored and sophistical. Vance is
Southerner iD his politics. There
is no taint of mrgwumpery about
him. During Cleyeland's admins
tration his chief occupation in The
Senate was to ridcule and make
sport Of the civil service system
which Cleveland had promisei to
support. Vance select2d his choices
stories to illustrate what he consld
cred the ahsurdities and incoDgruitie;
Of civil service reform.-Charlott'

Want Of Courage.

A great deal of talent is lost to
the world for the want of q little
courage. Every day sends to the
grave number Of obscure mon who
have only remained in OhscurIly be-
cause their tir.'dity has prevented
them making the first efort-a1d
who, If they could have been induced
to begin, would, in all probability,
have gone great lengths in the career
Of fame. The fact is in order to do
anything in this world, that is worth
doing, we must not stand shivering
on the brink and think Of the cold
and danger, but jump in and sCram-
BILE as we can. 1t will rot do to bc
perpetualiy calculating risks and adj
iusting nice chances. There is such
little time for over squeamishncss st
present, the opportunity so easily
slips away, the very period Of his
life, at which man chooses to ven
ture if ever, is so confined, that it
is no bad rule to preach uD the nee,
essity, in such instances, Of little
violence done to feelings, and of ef-
forts made in defiance of strict and
sober calculation. Whatever your
hand fuds to do, DO with all your
might.-Selectea.,
