IN NEW YORRHARRoR

The writer was once becaimed at night
in catboat in Gravesend bay. The night
was intensely dark, so that the outlines Of
the hull of a big steamer whose lights
CLEANED through the blackness from where
she was anchored off toward Norton's
point could scarcely be seen. Suddenly q
rowboat appeared alongside the catboat,
and robust young man placed one hand
on the rail and gazed curiously up at the
faces of the occupants of the catboat,
which were visible by the light of the Ian
tern in the cockpit.
The people in the catboat were too as
tonished to say anything, and apparently
the man in the boat had nothing to say,
for after moments "sizing up" he showed
off, and disappeared as noiselessly as he
came in the direction of the steamer. His
oars were so completely muffled that they
made not the faintest sound in the row
locks, and he was so expert a rover that
the blades made not the slightest splash in
the water. The owner of the catboat mere
ly shrugged his shoulders and said, ooh,
it's only one of those shore fellows going
off to steamer after goods"
Altogether it was weird and ghostlike
affair, and savored of old time smuggling
and the romance thereof. Sometimes q
swift sailing vessel is used, which, ap-
preaching the coast, lays off and on until
night, and then putting into some obscure
harbor, lands a portion of its cargo and
sails away to some nearby port to enter and
discharge the goods on it's manifest.
The yacht Halcyon, wrecked on the JAP
anese coast, was at one time a celebrated
smuggler on the Pacific coast. Once a
schooner came sailing up Narragansett
bay, and at night put into a little harbor
on the Warwick shore, where she unloaded
large cargo. The goods were stored in
the barn of farmer nearby. A draw load
of foreign goods coming into Providence
from Warwick excited the suspicious of
somebody and arrests and seizures fol-
lowed. New York Tribune.

cast a gloom over The community:
l offer for the entertainment of
your readers the following idea
from a recent lecture delivered by
one of our literary lights, entitled
"Union of FOrces:"-
LET me assure the young men
of my race, that a red necktie. kid
gloves, a gold hesded cane and
patent leather boots, don't make
the man. Our distinguished
President Harrison has said a
cheap coat makes a cheap man
and yet it has been written by
some sage that "many a honest
heart beats beneath a ragged
Cheap coat" Cultivate the
brain whateer hefall you. Shirk
not your responsibility. Life's
curtain, Natures mystic VI hides
from view the sleeI ing millions
who shall in the wake of lime fill
the places you now occupy. Your
influence for veal or woe, sba'l
inefpceably remain to greet them
on entering life's portals. You
cannot, you must NOT, you dare
not prove false to your trust"

That mysterious Gulf Stream.

For years and years the absorptive
mind Of man has taken the Gulf stream
as an easy explanation of the vagaries
of the weather. That mysterious cur
rent has created cyclones; it has backed
up the winds to the Rocky mountains
and organized tornadoes; it has warmed
Europe, and it's recent shifting has
changed the climate of this land of ours.
These were the theories with which we
pleasantly and ignorantly removed our
meteorological difficulties. In the beau
tiful maps of our physical biographies
we saw the Gulf stream circling around
the body of water from which it takes
it's name, running in a wel-marked
body to the northward and stretching
out it's kindly arms toward the United
Kingdom. But now Mr.. j. W. Pedway
tells in the Forum that there is no
truth in it at all; that the Gulf stream
never gets into the Gulf; that while very
little is known about it anyway, it is
definitely ascertained that it does not go
to Europe or anywhere near it.

The Wrong Couple.

An Enaville (Ga.) minister of the gos-
Del had a rather funny bit Of experience
not long since, though he did not enjoy
it much at the time. He was called out
in the country to tie matrimonial
knot. When all was ready he stepped
out into the middle of the floor to await
the coming Of the bride and groom.
There was no music or extra display.
One couple marched in and took position
on the left, and another followed and
took position by the side Of the first.
Then followed another couple who
halted a little to the right. Not being
acquainted with them, the minister,
thinking the last couple were the candi-
dates for matrimony, turned and had
them about half married before the lit
tie lady, who stood blushing, sqai1ming
and choking, exclaimed: '.We amt the
marrying ones, it's that other couple
over there. !" 81,

The uour when Death Occurs.

From study of fifteen thousand
cases, extending over a period Of twelve
wears, DR.. J. F. Burns states in the New
York Medical Journal that death occurs
seemingly without any particular predi-
lection for any certain hor1: and that
the number of deaths for each hour is
very evenly proportioned, considering
the large number of cases taken and the
time covered. The only very positive
conclusions the author has formed from
the figures are ~ that the idea that
more deaths take place in the early
morning hours is an erroneous one; (2)
if stimulants are to be pushed in disease
during these hours the practice must be
justified upon some other ground than
to avert the possibility of danger sup
posed to be very probable at this period;

disease is not regulated by the same in

that govern the vitality Of healthy

kind, useful life of thirty eight years,

name was Jesse, and the one act which
entitled him to mention was participa-
tion in the funeral cortege Of the mar
tyred Lincoln. He was the last of the
six white horses which drew the hearse
containing the honored body along the
streets Of Indianapolis. His mate in
the proud but sorrowful lead Of the
tenn died eight years ago.
