The officers and soldiers ! at Fort Adams had the opportunity on Wednesday to engage in actual warfare, and. improved the chance with great alacrity. An attack was made on the garrison in the after noon by huge whale, and all hands were called to repel the boarders. The whale is what is kown as a sulphur bottom whale which are plentiful on the coast of Maine,
 and was about 20 feet long. He was first seen by surgeon Horton's son on the upper side of the south dock. He gave the al- arm to the soldier at the hospital, who first attacked the whale with pistol, fir- ing good number of shots, but produc- ing no effect whatever. -er s ..t.-.
 The officers and men of the battery then gathered and made united attack, using sabers, guns, pistols, carbines, and, in fact, everything except field glasses were
 brought to bear on it. Some of the men jumped overheard and finely got 8 rope around him. A piece of gas pipe was then stuck in his blow hole. But he soon broke away, and as he swan around the front of the wharf, the port lauuch was backed in to him by Capt Leee, and he was cut into in several places by the propeller. The launch then started to chase the whale down the cove opposite the stables, where he was finely run ashore and killed. The scene was very ludicrous one many of the men at different times jumped on the whales back, only to be flung of by the creature. re.-ProVidesace Journal. s....t

It was on the San Jose train and two young ladies-one as serious and good as little nun, the other with black eye
 with the devils own glint in it-sat behind
 the youngest minister in town. The quiet one held in her hand purple pansy 80 large that it attracted the atten- | tion of the young minister. While he was still looking at it the train rushed into a tunnel.
 The black-eyed young woman grabbed
 the pansy in the darkness from her com
 panion, and leaning over dropped it into
 the lap of the godly man.
 When the train reached daylight again
 the young minister had turned, and, with the pansy in his hand, was glaring reprov ingly at the nun-like girl between whose fingers he had seen the flower. Her face
 was blazing, and her downcast eyes seem- ed to comics her guilt. The whole car snickered, and the malicious black eyed girl read her book unconsciously. =. That is why the young minister preach ed on the iniquity of flirting yesterday.-

A home missionary was preaching to frontier audience on the prodigal son. After he had described the condition of the son in rags among the swine, and had started him on his return, as he began to speak of the father coming to meet him, and order ing the fatted calf to be killed in honor of the prodigal's return, he noticed cowboy looking interested, and he determined to make personal appeal. Looking directly at his nearer, the preacher said, "My friend, what would you have done if you had g son returning home in sn6h a raised the calf" was the prompt reply.

An Insurance Clerks Good Fortune.

Hartford tClnn.l TIMES, Nov. Is.
1t isn't often that a young clerk sim In
his teens has sl5,00J placed IN his hands 10
do with us he plcasos, and to use as his
fancy may dictate, yet this was little
event that occurred last week To Roe
Grant, n young man who lives on Vine
Street with his parents and who is ON
ployed In the offices OF the Hartford Life
and Annuity Insurance Company, In this
city. Young Grant held one twentieth of
ticket ~, ,sjG, which drew the first capital
prize of s300Oo0 In the drawing Of the
Louisiana State Lottery Company ON the
10Th of October. Tho lucky young man
was questioned by ancwspapcr man and he
cmphatically denied having won the SIS
900, but he expressed himself rs being will
ing TO receive such sum. Since tho in
tcrvicw the newspaper man has learned
that Grant did receive the money, that Il
was paid To him by the manager Of the
Adams Express Company IN this city, and
that two supcrnumorary policemen guard
cd the house the night the money was kept
therein. All this YVES done wiihout the
knowledge of Grants parents, but when
they. too, found out how fortunate tho son
had been, immediate efforts were made 10
suppress Its publication.
