on my own account; and on the Sunday She two ladies, on my mothers invita- ton, came to our house at Pimlico, when, as matter of course, 1 saw them back to their lodgings.
 Equally of course, I called on the Tuesday to ask after their health, and one way and another I managed to see Antoinette about every second day, pre- tending that l had a customer for one of her pictures. I took it home and hung it up in my room, and then, pre- tending that had obtained an advance on her price, gave her twice as much as she asked.
 This business involved at least four visits to the Fleur-de-Lys court, and as many interviews with Antoinette. Un- fortunately, however, Mme. de Gex was always present on these oc casions, probably because she did not think it comme il faut for her jeune file of daughter to be left alone with a man of my age. Yet even though she had acted differently I doubt whether l should have found Antoinette as com plaisant as Minnie and Dora. To tell the truth there was namclcss some. thing in her manner-a combination oj LuoNlSSIS, NlSAIlIJ dAlIL ACSSANS made me rather afraid of her, and, al belt, she was always kind, I could moi hatter myself that she regarded me in any other light than that of an honored friend.
 This had gone on for nearly month, and l was more in love than ever, when one morning received a note from tn, under secretary requesting me to call at at the admiralty the following after noon.
 I obcyed the summons, though not without misgivings. l feared that it might portend separation from An toincttc, and had been so much taken up with her that I had forgotten all about the possible examination and had never once opened my Arabic grammar. Neither did my uneasiness grow less when the under secretary, who was en- gagged two or three deep, told me that Admiral Jones would like to see me, and bade one of the attendants to take me to his room.
 I had heard of Admiral Jones before. He was junior lord-of the old school and had the reputation of being hard, choleric and absolute-a little, broad set man with fiery face, bloodshot eyes, and pig-tail that reached to the small of his back. Not the sort of a

PERIL OF HE TRAVE.

Passengers Say She Narrowly Escaped GO- ing on the Rocks Off she British Coast.
 LONDON, Nov. 25.-Ths passengers by the Trave, just landed at Southampton, report that the ship had 8 narrow escape from being dashed on the rocks during the night.
 They had ssed the Lizard, and were proceeding through thick fog at reduced speed, which caused the strong currents to carry the ship out of her course.
 Shortly after 5 o'clock the passengers were startled by the sudden stoppage of the engines, and on reaching the deck they saw the great rock known as "start point" looming up before them, scarcely 100 yards away.
 Many of the passengers, especially the women, became hysterical, and a panic would have ensued but for the admirable behavior of the officers and crew, who soon succeeded in restoring confidence to the weak ones.
 The prompt response of the engines tc tho call to reverse was the only thing shat saved her from going on the rocks

After the admiral had asked me question or two about my previous services and my voyage in the Mercia, he looked at his watch again.
 "Damn the fellow!' he growled. 'More than ten minutes after his time; and he knows how busy I am. I told him when he called yesterday and left these books. Gadl I'll examine you my self. What book is this?" Ihad no difficulty in telling him. It was book which Dr. Joyce had often read with us-the Koran. "And this?''

 'The Thousand and One Nights" "Humphl You seem to read well enough. And now take this sheet of paper, and write down in Arabic: The | man who makes an appointment and does not keep it is damned son of a gun, and it would serve Poggi right to give him a round dozen for his want of punctuality.'"
 I could no more write this extraor- dinary sentence in Arabic than in Irish, but 1 had fortunately learned the Arabic alphabet, so I took a pen and wrote every letter of it, finishing up ! with few hieroglyphics of my own in- | vention.
 "You will do," said the admiral, al- most respectfully, as he glanced with puzzled eyes at the paper. "You can read at sight and write to dictation. Damme if thought you were half as clever. Do you know any other lan- guages?"
 "I know French almost as well as English, and some Hindustani." '"The devil you do! Gadl wish did! We'll, you are promoted to command CT, and will commission the Kangaroo, six-gun brig. She is ready for sea, and you must report yourself at Portsmouth and hoist your pennant not later than next Thursday"
 Here the door opened and an at tendant announced Dr. Poggi, a little man with a Jewish cast of countenance, \ who came lowing and scraping into the | room.

 SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 25.-Reoent re- ports of trouble among the natives in Samoa is confirmed by mail advices from Apia which have just arrived by ths Ateamer Monowai. A correspondent writing on Nov. 9, says:
 "The natives are fighting in the bay. The towns are all destroyed. No native houses are standing. European property 1s safe as yet, but the natives are threat sning to burn the white people out. Bus tness is naturally at 8 standstill.
 All the natives have now left the Bay of Pago Pago and are on the east end of the Island. Possibilities commenced on Tuesday, Oct. 24. The Chief Leiato and his followers made raid on the village of Aoa, killing four men and wounding one.
 ''On the 29th Fagatono and Aoa went to Pago Pago to endegvor to arrange matters peaceably between the contest ing parties, but on their approaching the beach the Fagassa people, who had joined the Pago Pago party, fired on the boats, killing two men and wounding three.

 Horse on the Track.
 CHICAGO. Nov. 25.-Jookey Kuhn was caught stirring up Little Crete with an electric battery at Roby yesterday.
 As the horses came to the post for the third race the attention of the judges was attracted by the unusual activity of the horse when he came in contact with Kuhn's heels.
 The jockey was searched, and under his jacket was found broad belt with cartridge shaped attachments, each of which contained an electric cell with wires running to the spurs.
 Nothing could be done with Kuhn un- der the rules, but the judges immediately amended regulations so as to cover the case

 Henri De Gex, and l had to tell and re- tell all that had befallen him and me during our too brief intercourse; for, though his mother and sister had, as surmised, heard of his death and that an English fellow-prisoner had made a strenuous effort to save his life, they had still much to learn.
 And, being quite willing to stay as long as l might, answered all these questions con amore, and, when they had no more to ask, gave an account, on hint from Antoinette, of my ad- ventures, for the most part in great detail, taking care, however, to say no more about Julie Carmine than was ab- solutely necessary, and of course noth- ing whatever about Minnie and Dora.
 Antoinette made coffee for me, French fashion, and the conversation lasted the greater part of the after noon. In the course of it I learned in- cidentally that, albeit they were not making a fortune, their circumstances were improving. Mademoiseue had sev- eral pupils; sho occasionally sold a pie ture; and madame was able to dis pose of so much of her embroidery as brought in few shillings week.
 Before going away mentioned that my mother proposed to pay them a visit and make their acquaintance; and Mime. de Gex, after repeating her thanks for my attention to her son, invited me to call again soon.
 I promised that I would, and on the day but one following 1 took my moth to sac them: on the next day l called

=. A FEW HINTS ON =.
ROMAN GOLD!

A wrong impression being preva-
lent among people as to what
ROMAN or YELLOW gold really is, I
deem a few words of explanation
necessary to convince the skeptical.
Perhaps ninety-nine out of every
hundred are under the impression
that Roman gold is a gold of itself,
different from ordinary polished
gold; whilst in reality it is the
SAME gold FINISHED in a different
manner. The process is very sim
pie:
After we have finished piece
of work, we anneal the article until
it becomes perfectly black it is
then immersed in boiling solution
for a few minutes, after which it
comes out bright yellow-This is
Roman gold. It is simply to eat
all alloy from the surface of the
work leaving the PURE gold in it's
stead. The thin coating Of pure
gold is necessarily brittle, and the
article being dented, it will very
often peel off, showing the black
underneath.
Since gold beads have been so
popular, scarcely a week has passed
but what we have been called upon
to make the above explanation.
The beads would be stepped
upon, baby would bite them, and
the outer coating would peel off.
The owner would be indignant, feel
they had been imposed upon, for
they had bought gold beads, and
these were only brass, or iron per-
haps, for were they not black
underneath ?
Perhaps our explanations only
partly convinced you of their gen.
uineness.
Please try to bear in mind the
above facts. Colored or Roman
work WILL wear off in time, and
must be recolored.
If an accident should happen to
your Roman Jewelry, do not worry
about it, and bear an i'll will to the
seller.
Remember that the guarantee Of
a responsible dealer is more to be
relied upon than poor judgment
and that we are always ready tC
back up our guarantee.
Very truly,
H. f. WICHMAN.
