SECRET HIDING-PLACES.
London standard.

London standard
In the north of Eng land, in Neither
hall, near Maryport, Cumberland, the
seat of the old family Senhouse, there
is said TO be real secret chamber, its
exact position being only known TO
two persons-the heir at law and the
family solicitor. According to pop
ular tradition the secret of the hidden
room has never been revealed to more
than two living persons at time.
This mysterious room has no window,
and, despite every endeavor to dis
cover it, has, it is said, defied the
ingenuity of every visitor staying In
the house. With this secret chamber
may be compared the one at CLAIMS,
the latter possessing a window, which
has not led to the naturalization of
the mysterious room. Many weird
stories have clustered round this re-
markable spot, one legend connected
with which has been thus described
The castle now again behold,
Then mark You lofty turret bold,
Which frow above the western wing
Its grim walls darkly shadowing
There Is room within that tower
No mortal dare approach the power
OF an avenging God l. there
Dread-Awfully display 'd-beware,
And enter not that dread full room
Else yours may be "A fearful doom.
A favOrite locality for these old hid
ing places was the chimney one
reason, no doubt, being that that they
were more easily contrived, and that
there was less chance of detection.
Thus, Street Place, an old house a
mile and halt north of Plumpton, in
the neighborhood of Lewes, "was the
seat of the Dobells, and dates from the
time of James |. The library, now
converted to 'baser uses Is adorned
with carved pilasters and with q
cornice which is deliberately lettered
with quaint Latin notices. Behind
the great chimney piece of the hall
was q deep recess, used for the purpose
of concealment, and there exists
tradition that a cavalier horseman,
holly pursued by some troopers, broke
into the hall, spurred his horse into
the recess, and disappeared for ever"
Blstmorton Court, an old moated
manor house in the Malvern district,
has a secret chamber on the left hand
side OF the chimney, which is opened
" AhOonS VI q spring. According I'd
Mr.. Symonds in his "Malvern Chase
this hidden nook once played a part
in the War of the Roses, when numer-
Gus persons were concealed there at
this troublous period. To quote a
further instance, when the Newcastle
Society OF Antiquaries visited Wall
ington in 1884, Sir Charles z. Trevel-
yam, their host, pointing to a secret
recess, remarked; "There is a priests
hole between the end of that cupboard
and the fireplace in the thickness OF
the wall. The recess is about eighty
feet long and rather high, and owing
to its proximity to the fire 1t is not
at all an uncomfortable place. The
last use to which have heard of its
being put Is when the family made
their usual migration to London, the
agent used to come down and put all
the family plate there, considering Ii
to be the most secG-e place." These
priests holes, 1t may be remembered,
were common in many country houses
three centuries ago, when the celebra-
tiop Of mass was forbidden. Those
families however, who neraiafad In

Samoan Policy,

DUBLIN, Feb. 2.-Mr. Dillon who was
about to start for Australia. has post
poned his tour, because he fears from
the present critical condition of Mr..
HOfBrien that the latter will die. Mr..
Dillon in this event will remain and as
sumo Mr.. 0'Brien's work in Ireland.
William OBrien was reported as some
what stronger last night, The governor
of Clonmel prison informed him that he
would compel him to don prison uni.
form at all hazards, and also that if he
refused to take food properly it would
be administered 10 him by artificial
means,
Last evening a number of sold iers
paraded the streets of Clonmel cheering
for William OsBrien. The affair caused
some excitement, but no violent disorder.
Mr.. O'Brien declares that he will resist
to the death all attempts to compel him
to wear the prison garb. The prison
doctor has ordered a quilt to be left in
Mr.. OBrien's cell, with which to cover
his nakedness. Mr.. O'Brien has in
formed the prison officers that he attaches
no blame to them for his treatment, as
he recognizes the fact that they have
acted under orders from the highest au-
thority, which they dare not disobey.

Hunting HOLSTERS.

For a seaside sport the visitors to a
Cuban watering place have devised the
safe pursuit OF Holsters. The author of
''The Pearl Of the Antilles" describes the
chase: =
For this sport a big barge is secured,
and after having been furnished with
carpets and rugs for the ladies' accom-
mediation we proceed to navigate the
shores and creeks of the harbor. Three
or four black fishermen accompany us
and bear long torches of wood, by the
light of which the ground beneath the
shallow water is visible.
Our prey is secured by throwing a net,
in the meshes Of which the lobster be-
comes entangled; but should this prove
Intellectual n long pole forked at one end
is thrust over the creatures back, and as
he struggles TO free himself from the
pronged embrace a nimble negro dives
into the water ard captures him alive.

ster comes on board and bounds among
our crew and passengers.-Youth's Com

The following story illustrates how
much mice love their tails: In Norwich,
Conn.,, the other night a young lady set
a mouse trap in her parlor-a trap that
was like a diminutive railroad round
house, with archeddoorways, and with a
delicate little loop of steel under each
doorsill tofly upand catch a mouse blythe
muzzle. The steelnooses snapped busily
all night, and next morning the lady
found five mice clinging in five of the
inhospitable doorways, and, what was
very mysterious to her, three long mouse
tails hanging from the three other en-
frances. She puzzled her head long over
the ~inscrutable problem. Why did three
mice visit her trap over night and DELHI
erately leave their tails behind them?
But there was no answer to it,. A very
bright idea, however, flashed into her
mind, and she set her trap again. Verify,
the three ~tailless mice came back to re-
cover their tails, and in the gray dawn.
of the following day the young lady
found three ~tailless mice dangling from
the trap.-Pittsburg Dispatch.

A Mountain in Motion.

A tremendous snow slide recently
came down the northern face of Castle
Peak, sweeping everything before it. Its
track can be plainly seen from a point
on Mount Scowden high enough to over
look the intervening ridge. Judging
from the furrow on the side of the mount
ain it must have been a terrific affair.
Starting near the suramit, it multiplied
in volume, taking rocks and earth to the
depth of many feet, AT the timber line
left not a tree standing for half a mile
along the base of the peak, Where it
finally stopped a young mountain Of
huge powders, EARTH and shattered
trunks Of trees, many of them three and
four feet III diameter, blocks e deep "a.
vine.-Territorial Enterprise.
