A Hermit's Queer Home.


Though County. Physician Hewlett, Of
Newark, is convinced that there was
nothing mysterious about the death of
Roswell p. Wilkinson, who was found
dead in a floating house boat on the Pas
sale River, Captain DAILY sent some men
down the stream to search the curious
craft for the money which the saw-fler
was know to possess when alive. DR..
Hewlett says that the mar must have
had a congestive chill, followed by a
hemorrhage of the bowels, and that to
these two causes were due the contorted,
livid appearance of his face and the flow
of blood with which his couch and cloth
ing were saturated.
Wilkinson was an expert boat builder,
and his floating dwelling was an ingeni-
piece of workmanship. The officers
found it tied up to the bank Just above
Browns shipyard. That part of it which
lay in the water is about twenty feet long
and ten feet wide, built of substantial
timbers. On one end of it a pine flagstaff
lowers twenty feet high.
The house on the boat is about 16 feet
long. 8 feet wide and 6x feet high. 1t is
fitted with windows and blinds and is

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Mockery never degrades the just.
Onefibis oft the. cause of ten more.
The poorest are the most charitable.
Let none wish for unearned gold or
honor.
Let nothing be undone which ought to
be done.
Small profits, little risk; large profits,
great risk.
Do not be benevolent with other peO-
PIES money.
Better to die at the post of duty than
10 live elsewhere.
Employ no one to do what you can
easily do yourself.
Whatever power there may be superior
to nature it is safe to say if man would
prosper he had better be obedient to her
laws.
We often hear the phrase: "Put not
your trust in princes" quoted from the
Bible, but the rest of the verse, ''fOr they
are men, is overlooked.
To be the friend of sovereign you
must be without passion, without ambi-
ton, without egotism, clear sighted and
far sighted; in short, not man..
A person who Is satisfied to appear great
can accomplish it by initiating another
who is really great, from the courage to
act Independent and enjoy a conscious
self respect.
Information is but the pretence of
knowledge, for it may convey deception
and untruth, while to know Is only posi-
bic by the sense Of experience, which is
never untruthful.

Once upon q time car containing gold
and silver coin was burned on its way
from the mint to Washington, and in the
ruins the searchers found two silver dol
lars held firmly together by 4 ten-cent
piece. The coins were badly discoIored
and twisted, but nearly in the centre of
one Of the silver dollars was imbedded
shining s. gold piece as bright and per-
feet as when it came from the mint. The
explanation given by the Eorwalk,
Comm Hour is, that Just at the right
time the gold coin dropped upon the
silver, the latter still in a half melted
state. The queer relic is the property of

Flerce ronarees Of fhn nesert

The Tonaregs of Algeria are a peculiar
race Of people. They live principally by
brigalidage andlsying tribute on caravans
thas cross the desert. They are SUP
posed to be descendants of a people that
in prehistoric times emigrated from Asia
or from Europe to the southern shores of
the MEDITERRANEAN and were gradually
crowded southwark into the desert.
They are Of swarthy aspect. tall.
vigor 1us, supple and quick and energetic
in movement. Their only clothing is
blouse and pantaloons of red or blue
cotton and fitted close to the figure.
On their breast is a sort of white scarf,
over which Is a belt of red leather sup
porting the cartouch box, which is of the
same material. The head is covered
with Il turban fastened about the forehead
with band Of black stuff, while black
vest conceals the lower part of the face,
Leaving little but a prominent nose and a
pair Of unamiable black eyes.
All are armed with a long barbed lance,
which never leaves their hands, two
hanied sabre and poinard. AT their
saddle hangs a double-barreled gun
and q shield Of antelope hide.
Thus equipped and mounted on their
camels Of the species known as mehari,
which they guide with great dexterity,
they present an imposing appearance and
recall the knight Grant Of the Middle
Ages.
Their Appearance is threatening, and
It is not surprising that their less warlike
neighhors regard them with appre-
hension.
The Torareg mounted on his mehari
leans against the high back Of his saddle,
and pulling his legs about the cross that
that forms its front, places his feet on the
animals neck, and guides it by gentle
pressure of the toes on one side or the
other. Trained from its earliest youth
10 this manner, it responds promptly and
turns in the direction desired, leaving its
rider the free use Of his hands to WELD
his weapons
The female Tonareg guides her camel
in the same manner, and some among
them are so expert that they can play
lively air on the mandolin and compel
the animal to follow it in dance move
ment like a well-trained circus horse.
Owing to the scarcity of water, the
Tonaregs never wash themselves. Their
filth becomes hereditary, even exceeding
that of the most squalid tribes of Ameri-
can Indians.-Nelo York journal.

} Every revival Of religion recorded in the
kible, marks the Independent, seems to
1aye been a revival of personal righteousness
among Gods own people. No amount Of
outward prosperity, no increase of numbers,
10 new and attractive forms Of worship can
possibly make up for or take the place Of the
faithful conformity to the whole will Of
God on the part Of those who are called by
His mime. The sooner the ministers and
churches recognize this fundamental truth
and necessity and bend all their energies
toward the bringing about Of such a revival,
the better it will be for the church as SUCH

Hor One-Armed Nam BuIIt a House.

On Highland avenue, Maiden, stands a
large and handsome stone house, which,
having been in process of construction
for the past four years, has at last ar
rived at completion, and is now pointed
out by the inhabitants as a standing wit
ness of what the skill and industry Of one
man, alone and unaided, can accomplish.
The builder is a one-armed man, Mr.. C.
o. Blomerth, who has been a newsdealer
In Maiden for the past thirty-two years.
When seen yesterday afternoon he re-
lated the story of the work as follows:
in 1856 l started to build a house,
and as l had previously built a small one
alone, determined to build home for
myself and family on which no labor but
that of my own should be expended, and
l have at last accomplished my task, the
only help have had being to have man
mix my mortar. The house is built of
rough stone, of such size that a single
man could handle them, laid in red NOR
tar, and is three stories high. The trim
mings are of orick, and inside the stone
work is a complete wooden frame house.
The roof IS made of roofing paperfastened
together with a composition OF my own,
which is also used around the chimneys
and in various other places instead of
lead or tin. In the second year of the
work, while busy near the roof, fell a
distance of thirty feet, and was so badly
injured that I could do nothing more for
a year of course, my one arm has been
n severe drawback, but have managed
by various devices and liberal use of
nails, to get along very well. I have
built all my own scaffolding, and put in
without help the roof timbers. 1 paint
everything thoroughly before putting it
up, so that after finishing have not had
the trouble of stagings and ladders to
paint high places. Fhe house Is large
and commodious, and IS filed with many
odd little ideas of my own. 1t also COZ
tains some interesting relics; my front
steps are taken from the Universalist
church here, and are the same steps that
I set up on that church thirty-fve years
ago. when 1 had two hands

There is both money and fun in sword
fishing. a few years ago few fished for
the big, wiley, wicked and solitary pirate
fish of the ocean; then smacksmen chased
him in their swift crafts for the sport the
novel cruise afforded to idlers at summer
resorts, who paid 81 a head to see the
fishermen stand up to a swordfsh and
stick harpoon into him. Finally, since
the dietary merits of broiled swordfsh
were recognized, swordfishing became a
steady and lucrative vocation.
New London, stonington, and espe-
cially Block Island are the home Of
swordfshmen. To open the swordfshing
season it is necessary only for a smacks-
man to fix q board walk up to the end
of the bowsprit, where a little cage is
erected for the harpooner to stand in and
lash a long-tailed harpoon along the side
of the bowsprit; then he is ready to
