StDs most remarkable tale of the troubles

American citizen, and to run away from his

1t seems that Peter, whose name IS not
Peter at all, but some thing in which all the
letters in the alphabet are combined, was
born in a little hamlet in Sweden Ever
since he first read a translation of 'sRebin-
son Crusoe,'' at the age of ten, Peter had a
violent passion for the sea- One day he
heard of America. He asked how far of
this great land might be, and his father re
piled that it was on the other side of the
great Irish sea and across the Atlantic.
The next day Peter made up a little bundle
OF necessaries and started of to find this
glorious Ell Dorado. He reached Leis. a
small fishing port on the coast of Sweden

bark of about eight hundred tons that was
advertised to start for New York on that

Nothing More Than "a, LegaIized System
of Levyimg Blaekmail.
The world has hitherto bowed its head to
blaclmail for wedding presents Is it. asks
the London Standard, u merit IN a man to
WOO and win a pretty woman? Or is it
merit in a woman to captivate q gilded
numbskull, that they should Immediately
levy blackmail upon all their friends; aye,
and even their bare acquaintances! Doubt
less there IS a considerable amount of
shrewdness and perseverance displayed in
the pursuit; hence it may be considered
highly meritorious action when two young
! people succeed in the endeavor to make each
other miserable for life. But why should
we, who are not in the smallest degree
gamers by the interesting event. open our
sometimes sparsely-lined purses in order to
give either gentleman or his betrothed a
wedding present! If a man goes up to the
city daily for the purpose of making money,
the world says he is a shrewd fellow, with
no FOOLS flesh about him; and if by any
| chance he may make lucky coup upon the
stock exchange, or in whatever business he
may devote his labCrs to the worship of the
golden calf, his friends will either say he has
the iuck of Luclfer or perhaps that he is
hard-headed, steady worker, and deserves
his coveted prize. They do not rush off to
Regent street in search of some costly trib-
ute; rather would they expect him to bene-
fit them in some way in giving a little din
ner at Richmond or Greenwich. Why then
should man, because his friend writes to him
saying: 1" My darling Chriscable has prom

to discover what he shall buy as a suitable

sensible, and perhaps more heartfelt, if he
wrote to his friend and wished him icy of
his great good luck in winning the lady of
his loves Surely there would be more real
feeling in such course than in the little
packet which is sent straight from the sill
versmith's, with Tom Smiths or John
Jones' compliments. At any rate, there
would not be the feeling of loss attached to
the action which must in many cases render
the announcement of a friends bliss a sub
Ject rather of annoyance than of gratifica-
ton. There are few people who are not
glad to hear of a friends projected mar
riage,and perhaps there are few also who do
not feel the imposition of the wedding pres

Charles Whymper, the well-lznown en-

following storya few years ago: Il dined at
Alderman So-and-S1's last nigh and as a
mark of honor his eldest daughter was as
signed to me to take down to dinner She's

He,s Nersr without Money.

James Mcneil, of Cambridge, Mass,
carries in his leg piece of money which
has had strange history. When an eight
year-old BOY in Prince Edwards Island
Mcneil swallowed the coin while running.
Seven years ago he noticed what seemed to
be a ruptured vein in his leg in about the
spot where the coin now rests, and in .
year or two was able to feel little hard,
round bunch. 1t now lies under not more
than quarter of an inch of flesh and skin,
does not trouble its owner in the least, and
can only be found by pulling up the flesh.
Four or five physicians have examined the
projection and declare that it is a silver
coin beyond all doubt. Mcneil has been
offered one hundred dollars by doctor to
allow him to cut the coin out.
