When the Atlantic cable was lost in
'65 do you remember that the Great
Eastern and the Midway and the
Albany went out to find it2 Thirty
times they sank the srapnel two and
a half miles deep in water. After
awhile they found the cable and
brought it to the surface. No sooner
had it been brought to the surface
than they lifted a shout of exulation,
but the cable slipped back again into
the water and was lost. Then for
two weeks more they swept the sea
with the grappling-hooks, and at last
they found the cable and they brought
it up in silence.
THEY FASTENED IT THIS TIME.
Then with great excitement they took
one end OF the cable to the electric
ian's room to see if there were really
any life in it, and when they saw a
spark and knew message could be
sent, then every hat was lifted and the
rockets flew and the guns sounded. I'M
til all the vessels on the expedition
knew the work was done and the con-
tinents werelashed together.
Well, my friends, Sabbath after
Sabbath gospel messengers have come
searching down for your soul We
hook OF Christ's gospel. Again and
again we have thought you were at
the surface, and we began to rejoice
over your redemption; but
at the moment OF our glad
ness you sank back again
into the world and back again into
sin. To-day we come with this Cos
pei searching for your soul. We
apply the cross OF Christ first to see
whether there is any lie left in you,
while all around the people stand,
looking to see whether the work will
be done, and the angels OF God. bend
down and witness; and oh! if now we
could see only one spark OF love and
hope and faith, we would send up q
shout that would be heard on the
battlements OF heaven, and two
worlds would keep jubilee because
communication is open between Christ
and the soul, and your nature that
has been sunken in sin has been lifted
into the light and Joy OF the gospel.

How the Natives Entrap Salmon
and Other Fishes With Engenious
Contrlvances.
Shut up in a drawer at the National
museum, where nobody has the priv
ilege OF seeing them, is curious col
lection OF decoys, says the Washing
ton Star. Perhaps the funniest
among them is. pup seal about q
foot and a half long, quite artistical-
ly carved out OF wood. It's little paws
are folded across its chest and it is in
tended to float on it's back upon the
water just as it does in real life.
However, it is not meant as decoy for
mother seals, as may beimagined, but
as a float for tying a hsh line to.
Fishes recognizing the innocence Of
pup seals in general, are not likely to
suspect that one would dangle a hook
and line to catch them.
This is an Alaskan decoy, OF course.
The natives OF that region employ de-
coy ducks made OF wood in similar
fashlon-not to attract veal ducks
within reach OF arrows or bullets, but
as floats merely. To the floats, set
swimming in the river, lines are at
tached, with hooks and bait for sal.
mon. No ordinary wise salmon would
be afraid OF duck. So these fishes
bite eagerly at the lures suspended
from the counterfeit birds in the wat
er and are caught. Another very
queer decoy in the drawer is O. fish,
cut out OF wood and painted white.
No label states, unfortunately, pre-.
cisely how it is employed, although it
it is certain that it is counterfeit in
tended to attract some big fishes. Big
salmon could swallow prey OF such
size ard it may be designed as bait for
them. Think, however, OF the disgust
which would be felt by any scaly orge
at finding that he had taken in
a wooden fish one foot long.

The Baby and the Savage.

In the bone caves OF the south of
France have been found figures OF
reindeer, mammoths, and men scratch
ed on horn or ivory, and evidently
executed by artists contemporary
with the Elephas primi-genius. The
men are represented with short. bent
legs, and seem to stand or walk in a
STOPPING manner, with the body bow
ed slightly forward from the hips.
Now pass your hand down the back
OF any infant OF under ten months old
and feel the spine at the loin or lum-
bar region, where in the adult modern
man the back is hollow or concave.
You will observe that in the babe it is
convex like that OF quadruped, Ia

perhaps get on its legs with the sup.

A royal dinner is not altogether a
joyous and festive affair if one may
trust the report Of an English period
ical, which states that there is always
little more conversation than usual
at the royal dinner table when Lord
Salisbury is present, as he is a great
favorite with the Queen, but wise Wis

rufus accounts by Special master Thos.

terruption since the beginning, and
considerable progress has been made.
The investigation arrived at that
point this morning where it was
necessary to take the testimony of w.
Il. Woodruff relative to certain scrip.
1t will be remembered that in Decem-
Der, before Woodruff went out of
office, he redeemed $l2,966 in State
scrip with currency. The scrip show
ed on its face it had been redeemed
several years before. Concerning
this and the peculiarly mutilated scrip,
which received so much notice during
Bays trial, Maj. Woodruff was asked
TO testify this morning, Special Mas
ter Simms and counsel on both sides
agreed that the proceedings be with
held from the public, anu therefore all
reporters were excluded from the hall
where the investigation is pending.
