His position is Q burdensome one.

A Knife with a History.

There is a gentleman living in this city
who has in his possession a knife once
owned by Jim Bowie, which was given
him by Juan Padillo, a man who left the
Lafitte band of pirates to follow the for
tunes of Bowie, and who is still living.
The knife is of tempered steel, the blade
sixteen inches long, with steel guard
and buckhorn handle. The handle is
dressed smooth where the hand clasps it,
and on one side is silver plate, one and
one-half inches long, set into the handle,
on which is scratched, in rude charac-
ters, "Jim Bowie" On the steel guard
of the knife, on the upper side, two
notches have been cut with file, which
old Juan Padillo said were cut to mark
the number of men Bowie had killed
with the knife. On the lower side of the
guard are three notches, which are said
to represent the number of Indians
scalped with the same knife. The knife
was given by Bowie to Padillo while
Bowie was resident of San Augustine,
Tex, and was presented by Padillo to it's
present owner in 1862, when the latter
succeeded in recovering from the Co.
manches ten head of horses, which. they
had stolen from Padillo's ranch, thirty
five miles west of San Antonio. Honey

An Improved Life Saving Net.

A net designed to be held beneath the
windows of burning building, SO that
the inmates in jumping or falling upon
it will not be injured, has beal patented
by Mr.. Malcolm Hunter. of No. 80 Dutch
Kill street, Long Island City, N. Y.
This net is preferably made about ten
feet in diameter, of Russian bolt rope
three-quarters of an inch in circum-
ference, and with three-sixteenths inch
outside galvanized grasping chain, but
has an approximately solid rope center
piece, with ropes radiating therefrom to
form the body proper of the net Each
of the radiating ropes is equal in length
to the full diameter of the net, and
they are SO intertwined and spliced with
short pieces as to make at the center a
compact, closely united piece. affording
great strength, while still designed to
act as cushion for body falling
thereon. The use of a grasping chain
instead of q heavy rope permits the net
to be folded into small compass. Sci

She an Sans in the best room"
Florrie had great, appealing blue eyes
and pale gold hair. Her complexion
was like a rose leaf and her mouth
shaped like Cupid's bow.
Of medium height, slightly built and
graceful in every motion, surely Joel
had shown good taste when he fell SO
desperately in love with her.
At 1 o'clock all assembled in the wing
room. They had laid the table with
snowy linen and bright glass and silver,
and adorned it with huge bunch of
asters, a present from Sam, for center
piece and for special greeting for Joel!
Everything was ready and so they
waited for Joel, and they did not know
who else, but expectation kept every
one silent excepting Sam, whose occa-
sional attempts at conversation met with
no encouragement from Myrtle, to whom
they were directed.
At last Florrie cried, He is coming;"
Mrs Pettigrew saw, at first, only Joel.
"Dear boy" she said, chow handsome
he's grown, and who-Cyril, be l
dreamin', or is that Jabez Reed walkin'
long side O Joel?''
''Yis, that's the old coot. | allus
thought Joeld do somethin' with i'm"
In reality, Cyril had never allowed him.
self to hope anything from Joel in this
matter.
By this time Myrtle had reached the
door, and admitted Joel, with Jabez
Reed, whom it proved to be. Joel gave
his sister a hug, and grasped hand
each of father and mother, while fond
smile told Florrie she was not unnoticed.
He was a strong, sinewy man, with
keen gray eyes, thick chestnut hair and
a straight nose. He had square chin
and firm we'll formed lips. His whole
face expressed strong will and deter
mination, but had, usually look of
serenity and good nature. Now, he
seemed to be keeping under control

Father" he said, turning to Cyril,
''Mr. Reed has called to make some nee
essary explanations"
Mr.. Reed was redder in the face than
usual, and had hang-dog expression
which die. not aid to his good looks.

 NEW YORK, April 11.-President D. S. Hammond, William s. Schenck, Frederick Waller, Capt. 0. H. Mcdonald. and score of other members of the Driving club of New York drove up to Fleetwood track yesterday afternoon and expressed their unbounded admiration at the superb condition of the course and the premises in general.
 Johnnie Murphy, the famous driver, sent a green horse @ half mile yesterday in 1:101s. This time was considered phenomenal in view of the fact that the horse had no pre- vious training this season. The owner of this flyer is said to be Fred Deitz.
 The stakes for the fall meeting of the Driving club, which will probably occur dur- ing the week of September IF, aggregate over SIG, ,000. The two principal stakes are the Fleetwood and Morrisania, each being of $5, GOO divided in four moneys. The former is for trotting horses that have never beaten 2:3O, and the latter for 800. The entrance fee for both of the above classes is 1-2 per cent. payable in four instalments. In addi- tion to the above stake races 4-year-old stake race for foals of 1885 will be given.
