 { I now determined to go up. There were the pantry, the rooms of the officers and the Kitchen yet to visit, all doubtless con taining the dead; but the pumps were not giving mesair enough and was tired out. I opened the pantry door as passed, but saw no one. Walking aft, I swung myself over the rail, hung a moment and then dropped down. As I found my feet an arm was passed around my neck and a corpse settled on my shoulders. strug- gled to shake off the burden and another corpse confronted me, it's glassy eyes at my helmet window. I threw out my arm and my hand rested on the head of 8 woman, whose fingers caught at my glove as if to hold ne.
 I crept close to the screw, not afraid but annoyed, and in 8 moment could count twenty corpses. All were floating in up right positions, all swaying their arms and all looking at mo with their big eyes. I knew that some current had drawn them there and that they were harmless; but dreaded to move out, knowing that my ''wake" would draw them. The dead stood on all sides, as if an audience assembled to hear me speak. If pushed one back he took his place again or rose up and grasped his bony fingers at my head.
 But I moved at last. pushed away those in my path and had just left the ves- sel when light in front of me came the negro cook, 8 huge fellow, in his shirt sleeves and having in his right hand 8 large carving knife He gave me fearful shock, as he seemed to dispute my progress and dreaded his knife.

They grasped at my legs; they clutched at my arms; they set tied down on my shoulders, and shrieked for helpl struck at them; pushed them away, and jerked savagely at the floating dresses of the woman, feeling that they wanted to hold me down there!
 Running up the slope they all came after me, the negro first of all. I fought him back as clutched the anchor rope and gave the signal; but they pushed him at me again, and he felt over my face and at my throat.
 I remembered the knife and pulled it out He was grasping at me, and stabbed him again and again in my frenzy! The men hauled at the rope and went up, but the dead followed, drawn by the eddy. The negro came faster than the rest and his white eyes glared through the glassl l kicked him and he clutched my feet; ] stabbed him and he grasped at the knife! As I reached the surface he shot high above it, hourished his arms and then fell and foated with the score of others, one hand raised high out of the water and the knife glittering in the sun.

WHERE. LOVE IS SWEETEST.

Under the beautiful heavens,
 Under the stars gleaming light, Into the dim of the woodland,
 Into the hush of the night; With fingers entwined, and with hearts Responsive to laughter or sigh, Roamed we at gloarning together My beautiful sweetheart and l. Gainted the stars OCT our pathway, Shimmered the tremulous moon. Cleaned mid the grasses the fireflies, Katydids chirruped in tune; Coyly the zephyrs on tiptoe
 Kissed the sweet lips of each flower Our hearts felt the magical pulsing Of the balmy, mystical holsr. Up from the grasses beneath us,
 Down. from the foliage above, Borne on the wings of the zephyr,
 Laughed the gay spirits of love. Heart spoke to heart in the silence,
 With fervor in look and in kiss; Coursed through our veins the hot current Of thrilling and rapturous bliss. Sweet is the rapture that thrilleth
 While treading the maze of the dance, Or sitting at night in the parlor
 While quaf1ng the light of her glance; But for rapture and pleasure unrivaled, For thrills of supremest delight, Oh! give mo stroll in the woodland, In the hush and dusk of the night. J. Ryan in New York Saturday Review.

a Movement in That DireSion of the
People or the Tom.
A free school in Guyton, { continue all
the year, is what the wide wake citizens
want and intend to have.
The movement was star,d a few days
ago by circulating petitia to the town
authorities, and it has bee so numerousy
signed that the council on hardly disre-
gard it. The gratifying increase Of the
resources of the town, toether with small
specific tax upon the vrious professions,
and business enterpriseslt is believed will
yield sufficient revaue to enable the
authorities to meet thesxpenses of a free
school without any incease Of taxes.
Guytonians can nowboast of good school
facilities, most admirably conducted, but
they are not free to tls public, and are not
run generally all the year. 1t is thought
by many that if Gyton will make her
schools free to the citizens the population
will largely increase since new Corners will
see that they are I've, progressive people.

CHARLESToN's BANKS.
They are Dissatisfied With Controller
Ellerbee's Veto,

CHARLESTON, s. c., April 1.-The letter
Of Controller General Ellerbee vetoing the
action Of the county board Of equalization
in assessing bank capital has created q stir
in financial circles here, and the upshot Of it
all is that 1t will be war to the knife be-
tween the city banks and the state admins
tration. Bank presidents here say that
Controller Ellerbee is waglng war especially
on Charleston banks, with a view Of forcing
them to buy the new per cent. bonds
which the state is 20 issue to refund the
debt They declare that they will not sub
NIT, but will fight the case in the courts.
The members of the county board of equali-
cation are surprised at the veto. They say
they see no reason why banks should be dis
eliminated against in assessment, and
therefore, put them on an equality with
other taxpayers, aud assessed them at 81
per cent. of alleged market value of the
stock. Even at this rate the big banks
would pay taxes on value far above tie
par values of their stock.
