His Audience.

A pretty story, which has, moreover.
the merit Of being true, is told Of a GER
tain professional singer. He had a beau
tiful tenor voice. of which he was apt to
take the best of care, so that when he
was crossing the Atlantic one summer
with a party Of friends, they Were M
surprised to find that he disappeared
from view every evening at just abont
the same time.
Afraid of the night air, sail one
with a slight smile.
Afraid we'll ask him to sing, prob
ably" said another, but no one cues
toned him. as he was known to be quite
immovable from his own way.
But when the last night on board
came, a delegation descended to his
stateroom to beg for a song or two, and
discovered that he was not there. They
looked for him in vain, until at last the
captain, who had evidently kept the
secret as long as he could, said, pointing
in the direction Of the engine room:
II think you'll find him down there.
that's where he's gone every evening.
Sure enough, when the delegation ar
rived at the engine room, they heard tn"
sound Of a guitar and a voice, and there
lolling against the wall, was the r~ecreant
tenor, singing his best for the delight of
the stokers, whom he had entertained
in this way for more than an hour every
evening during the voyage.-Youth's

A Telepathic Coincidence.

| had as a guest in my residence in
Jamaica a lady of unusual intelligence
who was very intimate with and mach
attached to Mrs. Beecher Stowe. They
frequently corresponded. She had q
dream in which Mrs. Stowe seemed t.
be occupied, singularly enough. i'll dig
ging the ground. and she inquired il
there was any foundation for this. From
the reply she learned that Mrs. Stowe
had been shortly before in Scotland on
a visit to the Duke of Argyle, and iIad
been asked to plant a tree as a memorial
of her visit on leaving. Here it is proba.
BILE that, besides the general sympathy
between the parties concerned. there
was some special thought. On Mrs
Stoves part, of the friend who dreamed
of her act. connected in time either with
the actual handling of the spade or with
the remembrance of her strange occupa
ton. Few people wOuld suppose such Il
coincidence to be purely accidental unless
from the apparent ilnpossibility for az
counting for it otherwise. - lackwoods

The Manufacture of Cans,

something like two dozen kinds, if. in

And there upon the trail Of spring.
Not death nor love nor any name
Known among men In all their lands
Could blur the wild desire with shame.

The feet Of straying winds came by:
And all my trembling soul was thrilled
To follow one lost mountain cry.
And then my heart beat once and broke
To hear the sweeping rain forbode
Some u in the April world.

Surely the wind is but the wind.

A PIONEERS EXPERIENCE.

At what is now Bradleytown, IA vii
lage three miles southwest Of here, On
n Of the branches of Sugar Creek, a
pioneer named Jacob Jennings lived 1OC
years ago and had near his pioneer
house a small blacksmith shop. From
Mrs. Samuel Matson, Of Chapmanville,
and John Jennings, of Sunville, some
interesting "reminiscences We're obtained
as related by their father, who was a
sOn of Jacob Jennings. The latter, at
his blacksmith shop. frequently smelted
and I'll into bullets rich lead ore sup
piled by the Indians. They made peri
odical trips to this place for that pur-
pose. Coming up from the Allegheny
river they made it "a point to reach his
home in the evening, there being usually
several in the party. They would be
allowed to stay and would sleep around
the tireplaces in the house and shop. At
daybreak they would strike northward
up the creek and would return a few
hours later with a stock Of the lead
product to be melted. No amount of
persuasion, Of barter or of purchase
price would cause them to disclose the
whereabouts of the lead deposits.
Fifty years ago, according to a mem
Der Of the family, Mrs. Robert Gillespie
and a daughter, then a little girl, were
lost in the woods, and during their wan
behring's found along a ravine an out
cropping of lead-flled rock. a piece Of
which. they took with them. After find
ing their way home they were unable to
find their way back with older members
of the family to the point where they
had found the lead. Various and con
tinuous searches have been made since
along the ravines in that section. one
enthusiast devOting a considerable pOr
ton of a year to the search; but aside
from a fragment weighing about four
pounds, and found in a field in Randolph
township, Crawford county, where it
had apparently been dropped. no lead
ore has been discovered

h section, comprising parts of
northern Venango and southern Craw-
ford counties, is about forty miles south
OF Cory, sixteen miles north of Oil City,
ten miles west of Titusville and eight
cen miles east of Meadville. There is no
doubt in the minds Of plenty Of entirely
rational people that somewhere within,
or continuously without, the region of
country which these towns bound, there
is a locality where an exceptionally good
quality Of lead ore may be obtained, or,
at least, the locality where ore of such
quality was obtained formerly by the
Indians, both for their own use and tC
sell or trade to the white settlers. As
the source Of this supply was carefully
kept a secret by the Indians-mainly of
Chief Cornplanter's tribe-and has neve,
been discovered, it is regarded as rea-
sonable to infer that it may yet be a
source of profit as to believe that it was
exhausted.
