HE LOST SAMMY.

Be Oumm Up for . Little Tina Has Il and Tells
The Bartender All About his Wan
dsring Under the Gas
Light

It was Just half past eleven o'clock
last night, and the bar-tenders about
town were busy as bees dishing out the
last rounds Of drinks to the boys before
closing down for the night, when the
swinging-doors Of popular saloon were
burst open, and there slowly came into
view a young man who had evidently
been taking in the sights Of the town.
He was well-dressed-or rather he had
been well-dressed, first Of the night, but
when he came through the doors into
the brilliantly lighted saloon he looked
rather the worse for wear. His white
neck-tie was unfastened, there was dirt
on his plug hat, his garments generally
were wrinkled and mussy, and his eyes
had that peculiar expression seen TO
perfection In the countenance Of dried
Goldfish. Our friend made his way glee-
fully, but somewhat wobbly, to the bar,
braced himself In front Of it, and, after
a series Of hilarious chuckles, addressed
the bartender:

The young man from B'lar stopped
suddenly. He gazed anxiously about
him. He took his chin between his
thumb and forefnger and rubbed 1t re-
fectively. He scowled and looked
troubled, as If he had forgotten or
missed something. Finally 1t came TO
him what 1t was.
"Whezz Sammy?" he exclaimed.
After moment more OF puzzled re-
Election, he slapped his hand on the
bar, and said:-
"SeIs 1t; Tha's sells 1t; Sammy's got

And as the clock struck twelve and
the light was turned out, the young
man from B'lar went out to see what
had become of Sammy.

A Wise Request.

WASHINGTON, August 20.-At the re-
Quest OF the Latin American Bureau OF
the Worlds Columbian Exposition, Car
dinal Gibbons has requested the proper
officers OF the several religious orders
of the Roman Catholic Church both in
Europe and America to cause their
archives to be searched for historical
records being upon the discovery and
settlement OF the new world. 1t is
known that every ship that left Spain
beginning with the first voyage OF Col
umbus carried among its crew a priest
or friar, and that these missionaries
made voIuminous reports to the heads
of their different orders, very few oil
which were ever published. 1t Is be-
believed that the archives OF the
Church are filled with valuable histori-
cal material.

How the Pyramids Were Built.

A moneyed man, who was looking
yesterday at the process Of laying an
artificial stone pavement in front Of
one of his many properties, startled
the friends who were standing about
him by remarking: 81 believe that
the Egyptian pyramids were built in
just that way" Pressed for an expla
nation, he said that while he had never
been in Egypt he had read the works
of all Psychologists, including Brugsch
and Piazzi Smyth, and had never found
in any of them theory which would
satisfactorily account for the manner
in which the pyramids were construct
ed. sNow," he said, "you must re-
member that the pyramids are built of
stone which bears no resemblance to
anything found within five hundred
miles of their location. 1t is incredi-
BILE that the Egyptians of four or five
thousand years ago should have pos
sessed the mechanical ingenuity to
move these enormous blocks of stone
from the granite quarries of Abyssinia
or Syria to the pyramids. Is it not
much more natural to suppose that the
ancient Egyptians possessed the secret
of making artificial stone, and that the
pyramids were constructed by layer
upon layer of Nile River mud, harden
ed by just such processes as we EN-
ploy to make artificial stone2 1t is &
much more plausible explanation o
their construction than the laborious
and unintelligent suppositions that the
stones were carried across the deser
to form the foundation and base of tn,
pyramids. | fairly believe that tn,
Egyptians of the Christian er;
understood the manufacture of arthcia
stone, and that they built the pyramids
out of it."

There is only one way to cure deafness
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inhamed
condition of the mucous lining of the

gets inhamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and when
it is entirely closed, Deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be
destroyed forever nine cases out OF

Ben Butler at Sea.
now HE SAVED HIS VESSEL AND MEN
FROM SHiPwRECK.

A characteristic which is the espec-
ial mark of Benjamin +. Butler is his
fertility of resources and eXpedients.
People know this mainly through the
fact that in his law practice he is 50
, often able to find some flaw or some
! crevicc through which to extract a
client whose case would be almost
hopeless in the hands of anybody
else. But this ability to find a way
, out has marked his whole life even
, from boyhood, any one who reads his
book will be struck by it. In every
difficulty, even though he might not
adopt the prescribed and proper solu-
ton, he always was able to make one
, of some sort. This is we'll shown in his
! adventure on the shoals off Cape
, Hatteras, when bound for New Or
leans during the civil war.
Owing to the carelessness or treach-
cry OF his ship captain, his transport
steamer, the Mississippi, ran heavily
upon the shoals. She had several
regiments of soldiers on board. and a
storm was coming on. The shore
was a dozen miles away and the boats
were sufficient to take off only 4 very
small part of those on board. The
captain was Il traitor and the mate a
''dote," as Butler says in his forthcom
ing book, and there was no one on
board who knew what to do. An
anchor had been dropped, but the
vessel rolled upon it smashing a great
hole in her bottom. Luckily the ship
had water tight compartments, but the
water poured in so rapidly that 1t soon
filed the forward compartments up to
the sea level.
The lives of hundreds of men were
dependent upon the immediate action
of a man who knew nothing whatever
of seamanship.
! Butler ordered out company oi
soldiers, with instructions to shoot the
first man who tried to lower boat
He set others at work by lightning the
vessel by throwing overheard every
thing in the order in which it could
best be spared. The ship was lying al
right angles with the shore and he sent
men out in boats to find channels by
sounding and to mark it by anChocing
pork barrels from which he had
emptied the pork He kept a solid
body of men running back and forth
the whole length of the vessel in order
to keep her rocking SO that she might
not settle in the sand. He found out
by the nautical almanac just when the
tide would serve. When after anxious
hours, he knew the tide to be at its
height, he ordered every sail set, and
the instant they were sheeted home,
he gave the word for the engine to be
started at full speed.
The ship had been resting part way
! over a narrow shoal. The combined
force OF sail and steam drove her a
few feet farther on, and then the
weight of her water.loogged Prov
broke down the bank of sand and she
slid forward into deep water. Such
heartfelt cheers as went up Butler says
he never heard before or since.
