The Captains Money.
A Tale of Buried Treasure, Cuban ReyoI,
 and Adventure Upon the Seas.

''I've got another man for you, Gap tain," he said. "He claims to be an able seaman; but, unluckily, he can't speak a word of English. But l thought, considering everything, you'd like to take him. He talks Spanish fast enough, anyway"
 This last acquisition of the agent was man of apparently fifty years of age. His bristly hair was grizzled, his shoul- ders were slightly stopped, and his forehead and cheeks were wrinkled. His face had the decided hue of the Spaniard. A great patch almost con- cealing his left eye gave rather an un- pleasant aspect to his face. He was not heavily built; his motions were alert, and he seemed strong.
 twill you take him, sir?" asked the agent.
 The Captain looked at this new sailor with no great enthusiasm in his face

 ''He is quite dead, sir.''
 ''Very good. Now you will see, MT.

Pigs That MILK Gov.

,. L. Grant, of Mapping, Conn.,, calls pub lie attention to his pigs. There are half . dozen of them. and they know more than all the rest of the pigs in Connecticut. MT. Grant was not aware how smart his pigs were until, having noticed that one of his cows gave less milk than she was wont to do, he investigated the mystery. He found that the pigs were milking the cows regularly. They were only eight weeks old. but they are long enopg gh by standing on their hind legs to milk tue COW, which is short, quito handily. The cow does not mind it.

Briton vorsus reuton.

London has begun 8 campaign against German competition, German clerks, Ger man goods and German working men, There has been signs cf an important movement in this direction several times in the last few years, but nothing serious has been attempted until now. In the "clty' and in the east end, where the German Is . formidable competitor, the agitation may become dangerous for the Teutons. The German works cheaper and yet lives better than the Englishman; hence the anger.

Charming excursion.

At this time of the year one of the most
delightful excursions that can be made from
the city Of Portland is that over the Maine
Central, through the White Mountains, to
Montreal and Quebec. The ripening of the
leaves has begun, and already the oaks and
naples are showing their golden and ruddy
splendors. The autumnal sun and haze
hang over the peaks of the presidential
range, and the seats in the observation cars
place magnificent panorama before the
travellers eyes. The tickets for these ex-
cursions run from tomorrow, the 10Th, to
Sept. 18th, and the cost of round trip ticket
from Portland, Cumberland Mills aud Lew
iston, is but So 80. The quaint old city Of
Quebec is .ull of attraction for the tourist
while Montreal Is not far behind in point of
interest. Be sure and take advantage Of the
opportunity afforded by the Maine Central.

GUARDING GRAND TRUNK TRACKS
Trains Run Slowly Where Two OBJ
structIons Were Placed.
Narrow Escape of TWO Trains on the
Steep Paris Grade.

Last night the long grade between West
Paris and Bryants Pond, on the Grand
Trunk, was guarded by men whose Keen
eyes were on the lookout for lurking Tram
wreckers and barriers on the iron' "h'ie
passing trains applied the brakes anu
rolled slowly down the long grace.
Twas in the darkness of Monday night
when the fast freight which leaves Portland
carly in the evening was toiling up this hill,
WHARF the grade is several miles In length,
that the engineer, leaning from his cab and
watching the two glistening lines of rail I'M
roll from the darkness into the bright circle
cast by the headlight, saw dark object
loom up in front OF him. A few quick mo-
tions reversed the locomotive and the train
was brought to standstill only a short dis
lance from pile of ties and old rails placed
across the track. Had the first train to pass
the spot been going down the grade at a
higher rate OF speed, crash in the dark and
then a plunge from the iron to disaster and
death would have been almost inevitable.
The obstruction was removed and the
freight proceeded. The down freight later
on passed the grade all right, hut when the
mail train, which leaves Golham, n H., for
Lewiston at $50 a. M, crept slowly down
the declivity, having been warned Of the at
tempt at wrecking, another obstruction was
encountered some distance from where tht
engineer Of the freight found the pile Of ties
This second obstruction was Of the sam,
character as the first.
The railroad men ara unable to accoun
| for the attempt. They know Of no troubl
which would make revenge for some act 0
the roads the probable cause. OF course
may have been the work Of would be trail
robbers. At any rate 1t seems evident tina
| the miscreants saw the first obstruction re
| moved, waited until the down freight ha
passed and then replaced their barrier il
time to catch the mail train. Fortunatel
| the last train had been notified and was nc
running at its usual rate of speed
