SYNOPSIS OF THE STORY.

This story is supposed to be founded upon a
manuscript found in the papers Of Allan Quatery
main, which were given to the author as literary
executor. In it Quaterman tells the story of his
marriage
CHAPTER I.-Describes Adams first meeting,
when a child, with Stella Carson, at Christmas
gathering Steas dress caught fire and Allan
extinguished the flames Stellas mother was
Spanish and she eloped with a cousin. leaving
Stella with her father, Squire Carson. He de
termined to leave England on account of the dis
grace, and at about the same time Aan's mother
died and Allan's father took him to South Africa.
where Mr.. Quatermain became a missionary
among the Kaffirs. When Allan was 20 his father
died.

ton from my father. Put shortly, it
was to undertake a trading Journey of
exploration right through the countries
now known as the Free State and the
Transvaal. and as much further north
as l could go. 1t was an adventurous
scheme, for, though the emigrant Beers

territories, they were still to all practi-

Accordingly sold such stock and
goods as we had upon the station, reserv-
ing only the two best wagons and two
pairs of oxen. The proceeds invested
in such goods as were then in fashion,
for trading purposes, and in guns and
ammunition. The guns would have
moved any modern explorer to merri-
ment; but such as they were l man
aged to do good deal of execution
with them. One of them was a single
barreled, smooth bore, fitted for percus-

Pine Bark as a Diet.


 One article of subsistence some times employed by the Indians is only resorted to when they. are driven to great straits by hunger. Around Taaay O. the watering-places in the pine forests of Oregon and California the trees of FinuS ponderoSG may be seer stripped of their bark for space of three or four feet near the base of the trunk. This has been accom-. Plished by cutting with hatchet a line around the tree as high as one c0cld conveniently reach, and an- other lower down, so that the bark, seve~pd above and below, could be re- moved in strips. At certain seasons Of tbs year a mucilaginous film sep- arstes the bark from the wood of the trunk. Part of this film adheres to each surface. aud may be scraped of. The resulting mixture of mucilage cells and half-formed wood is nutri- tions and not unpalatable; so that, as a last resort it may be used as 6 de- fense against starvation. The fre- quency with which signs of its having been resorted to are met with is a striking indication of the uncertain ties and Irregularities of the supply department among savages.

 She was keeping "open house," and had made some preparation for receiv- in- her guests in the proper manner.

A party of native gentle men arrived, and, having given one of them a cup of tea, she placed this fine cake before him with an invitation to help himself. She then went with the others to another room, and was gone some time.

 How ths Star-FIsh Works Destruction to
 the Oyster Beds.
 A star-fsh is a unique instrument of destruction. The body is depressed and divided into rays like a star; the upper surface is studded with rough knobs, between which are the open- ings Of many minute tubes for the passage of water iu and out ot the body. On the external ed'res of the rays are stiff spines, which serve as protectors, and at the end of each ray is small reddish eye-speck. The mouth opens in the stomach cavity. It is very flexible and vii admit large mollusks with the shell, the hard parts beiSg ejected after the soft DOT tions are digested.
 A Norwich man picked up beauti- ful specimen at Watch hill a few days ago, but it lacked that sponge-like elasticity for which they are noted. He tipped up the stomach and out tumbled a big clam. shell and all. measuring four inches in diameter. The fish measured but five. But the most peculiar thing about the star-ish is its great power of regeneration of lost parts. If one of the arms or rays become broken off the fish will grow another; if fouro the five are lost it will live to reproduce them all; but If the five meet with. destruction the fish dies

 Millionaire Bankers.
 The house of Drexel arose in Phila- delphia somewhat earlier than that of Jay Cooke, commencing with a Tyrolese artist who painted pictures and shaved notes and currency. Upon careful foundations, writes Gath" III the Gin cinnati Enquirer, he raised house which at the decay of Jay Cooke seized upon many great occasions and, drawing in such men as NIT. Morgan, of New En- gland, began to play vast intermediate part between railroads and investment and general financial directions. The fortunes of the three Drexel brothers, though not as large as some fortunes in New York City, have been in tho aggre- gate probably $25, 100000 to $50, ,OOO, ,0G0. These bankers were wise in drawing young blood into their departments and buying experience as princes formerly bought great military commanders. The Drexels have recently absorbed the Stock Exchange of Philadelphia into their huge marble block which they have put up on Chestnut street op posite the old Hall of Congress, and be- tween that and the Bank of the United States, which still stands and is the American custom-house.

The Farmers Alliance and knights
of Labor closed three days session
on the 9TH inst. They decided to or
ganize a new party, to be known as
the Independent party. A platform
was adopted which includes the State
and national declaration of princi-
pies of the Farmers Alliance and In
dustrial Union and the Knights of
Labor, and demands that the curren-
cy be issued by the general govern
ment, to be full legal tender, to in
crease in volume with the increase of
business, and to be issued directly to
the productive industries without the
Intervention of banks of issue. They
demand railway transportation, tele-
graph and telephone service at actu-
al cost, and that the government own
and operate the same; the free and
unlimited coinage of silver, and the
adoption of an absolutely secret vot-
ing system, both State and national.

SALT LAKE TmBUNE: That is good
news from the Silver Committee that
came yesterday, that it had adopted
a resolution to the effect that, in case
satisfactory silver measure for its
full restoration as money metal
shall not be enacted, it will call a
National silver convention and unite
all the friends of silver, sink politics
and make the silver question the con-
trolling issue in future campaigns,
particularly III the Congressional dis
trlets, IN the next election. That is
the true business. There is moro
than one case in history where the
enemy presented an invulnerable
front until they found that their quar-
tiers were on fire in the rear aud their
rations were roasting, then what tho
cannon and sword could not accom-
plish the fire has. The Silver Com
mlttee have at last opened a FIRE in
the rear Of the plutocrats. They are
striking as Paris struck Achilles, in
the heel, and the army which was
considered invulnerable has really nj
vulnergble point, and while petty
larceny Congressman felt secure in
their seats they could be insolent
enough. When the prospect opens
up before them that the men who
placed them in those seats will, when
they appeal to them again, give them
the cold shoulder, the awful pos.ibli-
ty gives them a cold chill down their
backs. The business is working
pretty well. We shall yet have
silver bill during the present session,
and while it may not be unlimited
coinage, it will be something that
will lead directly up to that by natu-
raj laws, and silver men can afford
70 be satisfied with the situation.
