When she went To dress for dinner She

The girl was his sister, and she had mis-
taken all.

What his parents would SAY TO hin he did
not stop to think. They would welcome
him, he kncW; his heart ached sorcly, aud
they would comfort AiGn; he was World

His proud beautiful love should torture
him no more. she had taken his heart in

SChcInC.

When | lived i'm Chicago n uuoer
chap invented 4 cheap way 10 make
files. a biz of hot steel went into his
machine. and the file was made al a
sing,c blow and fell into a tank II
strong mineral water TO cool. Then u
bare-armcd workman thrust in lis
hand and felt around and brought IL
up for inspection. The files thus
made were Il little imperfect, but were
good ones. aud he explained that the
machine was a small experimental
one. aud could not, of course, do per
feet work rs a large and powerful ga
chine would.
Capitalists went around and exam
cd the machine and saw him heat tie
steel IN a hand forge and put it in the
machine, and say the red-hot file come
ont and drop into the water. and they
tried the file with their hands on
iron which they had brought from
home, and found it excellent. The
only secret was the chemical water into
which the files dropped and which gave
them edge. a ;ompaay was formed
and money was paid in freely to en-
able the inventor to make a set OF
large machines, and when that was
done he disappeared.
1t was 4 fraud. He had bought
good files and defaced them little and
stocked his tank with them. His ma
chine stamped the bit of steel into file
shape and it dropped into the water
with the files, and his workman, who
was in collision, felt around and
brought up n file instead OF the steel.

SAN DIEGO, Cal, March S.-Many
people have left here for the gold fields
near Ensenada. in Lower California. The
workmen on the Cuyamaca, San Diego
and Eastern railroad have left in a body
for the mines, and work on the road has
been stopped. Steamers between San
Diego and Ensenads have doubled their
rates, but the rush continues, and stages
are now running overland, carving many
direct to the mines. The San Diego pa
pers state that the development covers
100 miles square, and that placer mines
are making "A great deal of money. Yes
terday S13, 600 in gold dust was brought
into Ensenada and San Diego. A major
lty of the California papers have urged
the people to be cautious about rushing
into the mines, owing to the fact that
many Of those recently reported in Cali
fornia failed to carry out the first indica-
tons Of wealth, but the people in the
southern portion of the state now believe
that a new and really profitable gold field
has been discovered.

P~AsOAG0ULA's WANTS.

We wish to call the special at.
tention of our Senators and Rep.
resentatives to the wants of this
port to the end that an appropria.
ton may be obtained for much
needed improvements.
1t is a well established fact that
this port is the most important
lumber shipping port on the coast
of Mississippi, and that a compare
lively small amount expended in
deepening the water on the bars
at the mouth of the river would
add vastly to its facilities for ship
ment and give a fresh impetus to
the lumber trade. We wish the
matter to be brought before Con-
gress and the matter pushed to a
successful conclusion at this SEES
sion.
Our port has a safe harbor and
excellent anchorage for vessels
drawing over twenty feet of water,
and the mills on this river furnish
quite One-half of the lumber ship
ped on this coast, and new mills
are being built and Others are in
contemplation, all of which will
constantly add to the Importance
of the place and render the demand
for increased facilities for ship.
ment, and the business connected
Herewith, imperative.
A comparatively moderate ap-
preparation, judlciously expended,
will render the Port of Pascagoula
the most accessible as well as the
most important shipping point
anywhere on the coast from Pen
sacOla to New Orleans. If our
Representatives in Washington
will only exert themselves this
may be secured.
In addition to this we need a
custom-house. AT present this
port, which does three fOurths of
the business has a branch office
and deputy collector. The Swed-
ish, Danish, Norwegian and Span
ism consulates are located here and
is right and proper that the most
important port should have a Gus
tom house where business may be
transacted at headquarters.
These important wants, thus
hastily mentioned, are urged upon
our congressional representatives,
and we beg the whole Mississippi
delegation to assist them in pro-
these things which are of the
Utmost Importance to the most i'm
'ortant port in the State.
