The Frenohman Gave Up tho Seats.


can interesting little incident &C.
CURED at the Theatre de Varieties, 4"
writes New Yorker travelling in France
to an acquaintance in this city. A young
Missourian, accompanied by lady,
found to his annoyance that his seats
had been appropriated by military
looking individual. He explained the
situation to the attendant, but that func-
tionary was too frightened to do any,
thing in the affair, and the American
learned from bystanders that the in
truder was Capt. c., famous duel
list and bully of the Cuirassiers.
81 am sorry to disturb you, monsieur"
he said, walking to the captain, ''but
you have my seats"
The reply of the captain translated
into Fourth ward patois would be,
"What are you going to do about it?"
Nothing now" quietly replied the
son of the States. 81 have a lady with
me. But as you leave the theatre to-
night l shall shoot you through the head.
Good evening""
While the American was returning to
the hotel with the lady the cavalryman
left the theatre and took the express
train for Munich.-New York Tribune.

LANDING THE SHORE END.
An Interesting Description of How a

An Interesting Description of How a
Cable Is Secured on Land.
We steamed of and anchored as near
IN shore as we could get. opposite the
place intended for the landing place. All
was now activity ON board. No sooner
were we at anchor than couple of boats
were dispatched for the beach, with a
party of men and the necessary tools
and implements for use on shore. On
board both picking up and paying out
gear were being made ready for action,
as they both played their part in land
ing the shore end huge coils of rope and
number of collapsed air balloons made
their appearance from below.
These balloons were inflated with air
to their full diameter of three or four
feet. and the quarter deck of the Dal-
malta began to assume the appearance
of giants toy shop. Meanwhile the
shore party had firmly anchored to the
beach two large "spider sheaves." or
skeleton iron pulleys These were placed
some two or three hundred yards apart,
forming two angles of parallelogra1n,
OF which the bow and stern sheaves of
the ship made the other two.
A rope was now carried from the stern
OF the ship to the shore, and, passing
round both spider sheaves, brought back
to the ship and taken over the bow
sheave to the picking up gear. The cable
was made fast to the rope and paid out
slowly over the stern, the picking up
gear meanwhile heaving in on the other
end of the rope, and so hauling the cable
gradually ashore. The rope was wound
four or five times round the big drum of
the picking up gear, steam was turned
on, and the drum, rumbling and rever-
berat1ng, hauled the rope in. Aft the
cable was wound four or five times
round the paying out drum, also revolved
by steam in order to ease the strain,
which. with about mile of rope out be-
tween the ships stern and her bow, is
something considerable,
AS the cable leaves the stern the raison
d etre Of the air balloons becomes APP.
parent. At intervals of about fifteen or
sixteen yards one is securely dashed to
the cable, and in this way the cable is
aoated from the ship to the shore, and
not dragged along the bottom to run the
risk of being damaged by rocks. An
other advantage is that, if the cable is
sagged by cross current or tide, it can
readily be Strengthened by stopping the
paying out and heaving in at the bows.

A Banyan Grove.

Near Clifford station, on the Staten
Island railroad, there is peculiar piece
of woodland, a spot where the roots Of
the trees all attach themselves to the
trunks at from four to six feet above the
level Of the ground, giving to the stumps
an odd, spidery appearance. The soil of
the vicinity is very porous, which lends
weight to the opinion that the banyan
like grove has been formed by the action
of frost and water.-St Paul Republic.
