UnprofessiOnaI Tramps.

The finest thoughts of many great
thinkers are undoubtedly the more or less
direct result of their communion with the
outdoor world. its strengthening winds
and healing sunshine Certain men of
incalculable influence over ideas and morals
have been constant lovers of country walks,
and it would be difficult to Overestimate
the effect of such solitary rambles on their
habits of thought.
1t is calculated that Wordsworth, in his
many years of Sauntering. must have
travelled a distance of 10000 miles.
What sights he saw during such pro-
longed and delightful wanderings, only
those who have the poet 5 mind and eye
can even guess.
Charles Dickens was confirmed tramp.
and no doubt acquired his experience of
life on the road from actual acquaint-
ance with all sorts of vagabonds and odd
characters. such as frequent town and
country lanes and highways.
One of the most remarkable of unpro-
fessiOnal walkers was Professor Wilson.
the .-Chrispher North of literature His
fine physique and great endurance
prompted him TO the performance of
wonderful feats. which seemed to him en-
tirely a matter Of course. He once walked
forty miles IN eight hours. and at another
time walked from Liverpool to Ellery in
twenty-four hours, a distance of eighty
miles 1t is good to think Of the long.
unwearied strides with which he swung
along. his blood bounding with healthy
pulses. and sending inyigorating waves to
the active brain.
Henry Fawcett also was a tireless
walker, and one who. when dep red Of
sight. did not for a moment think of re-
Enguishing this among many forms Of
exercise He was familiar figure on the
roads about Cambridge. and there Is no
exaggeration In saying that few men
blessed with ali his senses could enjoy
nature more thoroughly than he.
Southey. worn and proved upon by
mental application and the practical
auxieties OF everyday life, found his
greatest relief in tramping about the
country. listening for what nature had to
tell him. and learning eontentment from
her stability John Stuart Mill delighted
In pedestrian tours. and Charles Lamb.
though he loved town better than country.
was one who believed IN sweeping cob
webs from the brain by brisk and con-
tinuous walking.
All these men walked not merely for
profit. but for pleasure; and the profta-
because of their pleasure IN 1t. Their ex-
ample NAV be commended 10 all II Is safe
to say that whoever once forms the habit
of regular tramping viii never foregu it ex-
cept under some necessity.

II knOW!' erred Bertha. lit 5 about
the ring-I'm sure of it."
You had better show him in Sarah"
Discomposed by the mention of the
ring. and yet gratifed by a call from
Mr.. Fancourt, in whom she saw the
prospective Earl of AlphingtOn, she
rose as Sedley, who had already as
sumed the name of Fancourt, entered,
and returned his salutation with a
gracious smile.
You wished to see my daughter,
understand she said; these are my
daughters--Miss Dalton, Miss Bertha
Dalton. Pray be seated"
1t was now Fancourt'S turn to be sur
prlSed. for, as Lena rose. and the light
fell upon her face. he at once recognized
the beautiful girl he had startled by his
abrupt appearance in Alphington Park.
Her face. though so casually seen,
had remained in his memory ever since.
The second meeting he put down as an
other instance OF his good fortune.
\ considerable alteration had been
made both in his attire and demeanor
since that day, but whether for the bet
ter was doubtful. His clothes were of
the best, and his hair and whiSkers
had been under the hands of a skillful
halr-dreSSer, who had managed to tone
necktie, the coral studs, the flower in
his button-hole, the trinkets dangling
from his watch-chain, and his lemon
colored gloves were all out of taste and
out of harmony; while the mingled
awkwardnesS and swagger of his man
ner in his endeavor to appear at ease in
his new position We're equally obJec-
tionable.
He cast a glance of bold admiration
at Lena, as he took the proffered seat,
which made Bertha's cheeks burn.
Lena, however. showed no conscious
ness; she sunk back into her chair, only
turning it a little more toward the
light. Lena's was no stately, inacceS-
sihle beauty. She had way of sitting
with her head slightly dropped and her
arms folded carelessly, forming a pic
ture of gentleneSs and sensibility; her
very calmness and indifference had
something alluring in it.

Another London Horror.

Early Tuesday morning policeman found
the body OF a fallen woman lying at the cor.
ner of railway orch on Cable street, White
been cut off and carried away and the stom-
ach ripped open, the mites tines lying on the
ground. Police pass the spot every fifteen
minutes. Those on duty at night say they
saw nothing suspicious. The physicians who
examined the body state that in their opinion
the murder and mutilation occupied nearly
an hour 1t is surmised that the murderer
carried off the head and arms in bag. The
murder is the worst Of the whole series OF
Whitechapel murders. The manner in which
the limbs had been severed from the body
shows that the murdererwas possessed ofsome
surgical skill. The woman was about thirty
years Old Her clothing was shabby, and
she was evidently spirit drinker. The re-
mains have not be identified. The most in.
tense excitement again prevails in White
chapel. There was no blood On the ground
where the body was found, neither was there
any blood on the body. From this it is
evident that the murder was committed in
subsequently deposited under the railway
arch. The trunk was nude. A rent and
bloody chemise was found lying near the
body. The arms We're intact, but the legs
were missing. 1t is believed that the woman
has been dead for two days.
Although the murderis generally spoken
OF as the mysterious "Jack the Ripper" a
close examination of all the facts leads to the
conclusion that this murder is not by the
Ripper" The police and the medical men
familiar with the details of the recent Lon
don horrors of this class say that this last
murder must be classified with those known
as the ''embankment" murders, of which
there have now been four in all, Including the
one in which the headless body OF the victim
was recently discovered in Chelsea, and OF
which the head has never been found.

Terrific Storm Along the Atlantic.

Incoming vessels are anxiously awaited at
New York for news of the great storm at sen
which has been raging for the past few days.
That it has been the worst storm of recent
years is made evident by the high tides and
storm waves, which have done such great
damage along the Atlantic coast.
In New York city the cellars and first
floors of buildings along the wa ter front are
all flooded and the ferry boats are having diff
ficulty in getting into their slips. Repo rts
OF great damage done by the storm at
high tide all along the coast are
coming in and as the tide was higher than
ever known it is evident that an enorm Gus
amount of property has been destroyed
Along the New Jersey coasts the low beaches
were submerged and the railroad tracks were
injured. Thousands OF spectators watched
the surf which was the widest and highest
known in years
Atlantic City was completely cut off from
the man land Much of the b. ard walk and
many bathing houses have been ground up
into kindling wood. Several pavilions have
been lifted bodily from their pilings and de-
stroyed.
Reports from Coney Island show that the
storm was the worst ever known there and
all night long the waves dashed over the
breakwater at Manhattan and Brigh ton
B each with O tremendous roar. The marine
railway between tho two places was entirely
swept away. Tuesday morning not a vestige
of the esplanie was visible in front of the
Manhattan hotel, and the tide flows in and
out of the basement OF the building The
communication between the east and west
ends is entirely cut off.
