An Astontshsd Prince.

One Of the leading families in Stuttgart
gave . supper party, to which the prince
royal had been invited. His royal high.
uess arrived little before all the prepar.
ations for the feast were completed. OBJ
serving that he had arrived q little too
soon, he decided to take . short stroll in
front OF the house while da y light was fad
ing into dark. Suddenly q trim servant
maid bounded out Of the house and ran up
to the prince, to whom she handed parcel
containing, as it afterward turned out, Q
large piece Of sausage and some money.
and exclaimed under her breath:
You won't have to come to-day !;
we're having a large party; the prince
himself is coming, so, goodby till to-
morrow" and with that she gave his
highness q couple Of hearty kisses, aud
disappeared before he had time to get
word out.
A moment later he perceived soldier
in his cloak who was casting wistful
glances at the lighted windows Of the
house, and asked him IL his sweetheart
lived there, and on the mans replying in
the affirmative, the prince continued
soberly:
"Then this parcel must he intended for
you. The person who brought it sends
word that you are to come tomorrow,
she has no time to-day on account of the
party"
Much obliged; it's all right; I'll come
tomorrow, said the soldier.
"She gave me something beside, the
prince went on to say, "but l can't de-
liver you that"
"Oh. you may keep it and welcoms!r
rejoined the soldier. II have plenty here
for to-day"
Everybody at the party noticed that
his highness was more lively and good
humored than usual. He narrated his
adventure over the cigars and wine, but
exacted promise that neither the SER
want girl nor the soldier should suffer in
consequence Of the disclosure.

A vessel was blowing through the wa.
ters Of the South Atlantic, when cry Of
"Man overboard!" was heard. The man
at the wheel brought the ship up in the
wind, aud boats were lowered; but
by the time this was accomplished the
sailor was O quarter of . mile astern.
He kept up, however, and as the boat
approached. big albatross was seen to
struggle; then away went the bird, dap.
ping violently, towing the sailor along
the surface.
The men had to pull to gain upon it,
and then it was found that tho sailor
was uninjured, and perhaps had been
saved by the bird. He was almost sx-
hausted when the albatross flew over
him in evident curiosity; as it passed he
seized its feet. The bird, In its fear and
terror, was strong enough to tow him
along the surface at rapid rate.

A Mysterious Island.
.uExrc AN SEA CAPTAINS DISCOVERY ON
THE PACIFIC COAST.

The captain of a coasting vessel,
who arr ived at Guayamas, Mexico, re-
Gently ellis of a strange discovery made
BY him self during his last trip. He
traded up and down the coast, doing
busines among the inhabitants of the
island Ind coast villages between there
and San Diego, Cal. A heavy wind
drove him far out Of his way, and
when the storm abated he found that
he was so far out of his usual path
that he had lost his reckoning. He
was out of sight of shore, and when he
saw land bore down upon it and found
an island that was not down on any of
the charts. He sent the boat ashore.
and the men returned, saying no one
lived there, but that there were many
houses and evidences of the place hav.
ing at one time'been inhabited. The
captain then went ashore and found
that the island had undoubtedly been
swept by a scoprge of some kind.
There were numerous huts, but not a
living thing was to be found. An ex-
animation revealed the fact that the
former residents had died in such
numbers that they had not been bur
led The skeletons were lying around
the island where the people were when
death overlook them. In one hut
we're found the remains of seventeen
people, while in many others were the
bones of great numbers. They had
been dead for such time that the
bones were beginning to decay. There
was little to be found to show what
kind of people they were, but it is
supposed that they belonged to one
Of the island tribes which were SO
abundant in this part of the coast fifty
years ago. OF course, there can only
beconjecture as to the probable cause OF
the wiping out of an entire tribe, but
the knowledge Of the fearful sweep of
scourges on the islands leads to the
belief that pestilence swept off the
inhabitants.-Seattle WdSh.) Ielt-
