Trying to Buy Back His own Body.

This queer story comes from Massa-
chusetts: A man who lives in a suburb
of Lowell is seeking to have deed given
by him twenty years ago recovered. The
deed conveyed his body to surgeon now
pIacticing in Great Falls, N. H., for the
sum of ten dollars and other considera-
tions, possession to be taken ON his death
Since the deed was made the giver has
made fortune in South America and
has decided that he would like a Chris
tian burial. The deed provides that the
body shall be dissected and the skeleton
articulated and presented to medical
university. The lawyers have decided
that the deed holds good and that the
only alternative is to buy off the doctor.
The giver of the deed has made a big
offer, but it has been refused.

Instlnct OF the nressenger Pigeon.

Upon what the messenger pigeons
wonderful faculty of finding its way
homeward over great distances depends,
opinions differ. Some ascribe it to an
exercise of highly developed intelligence,
others to an almost inconceivable per-
fection of sight, and yet others to In
stinct or intuition. The fact of the
matter is, it is one of those mysteries of
nature that perhaps will never be reveal
ed, and stands side by side with the ac-
ton of the grilse or young salmon, which
finds its way back unerringly to the
same stream that it left nearly three
years before as tiny par.-Denver Re-

To Prevent counterfeitinp

1t is curious to observe at this day
the complicated geometrical patterns in
which some of the ancient Roman seals
ire designed. Enthusiastically for the pur-
pose of defeating the ingenious counter

engraving and printing try by similar
means to multiply the forger's difficult

by the fact that the coins of the civilized

FROM SAN SEBASTIAN TO BILBAO,
SPAIN.
BIZ REV. VIZ. Fl. GoLfcK

The ride by train from San Sebas-
tian to Bilbao is one Of the most
beautiful in the world. / have re-
Gently crossed the American CONT
nent from Boston to San Francisco
twice by different roads; I spent
the notnhs Of last July and August
in riding on horseback over the
wonderful group of the Hawaiian
Islands, my birthplace, and ] may
safely say that no more beautiful
country have 7 seen than this that
il traversed by the railway from
san Sebastian to Bilbao, Spain.
Many know of the grand beauty
Of the scenery as you advance by
the railway on the ever rising road
through the winding valleys fianked
by noble mountains, past Hernani
and Tolosa and VilIafranca, over
the lofty bridge that spans the glen,
in which nestle the baths Of Beetle,
and on to Zumarraga. Bot COM
parativeIy few know Of the charms
Of the country through which the
narrow gauge railway passes from
Zunarraga to Durango and Bilbao.
Having left the main railway to
Madrid, at Zomarraga, the road
rises quickly out OF the valley and
suddenly plunges into the face Of
the hill that rises back Of Zumarra.
ga. a few moments Of darkness
and the train emerges on a high
level overlooking the valley Of Yer
CARA, down which, far away the hor
izon is bounded by The serratet
peaks Of the mountains beyond Du
range and near Bilbao TowarC
Durango mountain spurs with sharl
ridges project into the valley from
every direction az far as the eye ca
reach. How can the train find ii
way safely down from this eagle
perch to the safe banks Of tn
stream that CLEANS in the sunligr
far below! With the instinct Of
living thing it clings to the noui
tain side but holds ever onwar
with a slight decline-aud tn
solves the problem.
The narrow gauge permits Il
slurpest curves ever made by a pa
senoer train. In and out it win

curves and sinuositieS of the noun
tain side lin and out, in and out.
Now we run far into the heart of
the mountain, following the side of
the bold projecting spur. Ever on
the descending grade we run out of
the shadows of the shaded nook on
to the sun-bathed TANKS of another
ridge, until far out on the outer
edge of the ridge. The sides of the
hill fall precipitously below our car
riage windows; the ridge is so sharp
how can we swing around its
bold and narrow face! Surely no
train ever before followed mountain
goat along such paths-can we?
No! the little locomotive, although
it clings closely to the hillside, can
not attempt this. 1t suddenly turns
into the seemingly solid face of the
mountain, darts through the rock
and emerges on the other side of
the ridge upon smiling glen be-
tween the mountain spurs and upon
the ever widening vistas of the
charming valley of Vergara.
Now on this side, now on that of
the frequent valleys, the railway is
continuously making gu 8" and
as es" that bewilder the mind and
hopelessIy throw one off from all
points of the compassion no
sooner are we going north than we
are pointed south, and while one
| moment we are rushing west, sud-
| denly we find ourselves facing the
eastern sun from which we had
been fleeing. Running along the
side of narrow valley, we could
almost "toss biscuit" upon the
railway on the other side, going in
precisely opposite direction on a
slightly lower level, and along
which we will soon be steaming,
after having "turned" the head of
the glen up which we are now
going.
Now the church towers and the
roofs of Vergara, an old Cariist
town and once important educa-
tional centre, comes into view, its
houses nesting by the side of a
stream that tumbles foaming and
sparkling down the valley. The
| fine old Roman road winds along
the valley like strip of white rib
bon boFdered by green and russell,
and the streams are frequently
spanned by beautiful stone bridges
only wide enough to let one cart
pass at a time, with three, or four,
| or FIVE arches Of unequal heights,
the road rising to the spring of the
highest arch, on the rim Of which
the path rises and falls.
at length Bilbao is reached.
This city is ever increasing in com
mercial and Industrial importance,
thanks to the fountain of riches In
its iron mines. Along the banks ol
the Nervion, for eleven miles from
. the city to the sea, new factories
are constantly rising. Smoke from
scores of chimneys marks the sites o.
, the shipyards, where iron-clad ship
of war are being built, Of the furna
ces for smelling the iron ore tina
abounds in the surrounding noun
tains, and Of the great rolling mill
that make Bessemer ste1s @nd stee

Lieut.. Haydep,s Quick Trim.

Lieut. Everett Hayden, U. 8. n, was one Of
the passengers on the Lahn, at New York yes
terdny from Bremen. This lucky ship reached
port just in time to escape the new quarantine
regulations, and her passengers were allowed to
land after only few hours delay. To illustrate
the efforts made to suppress the news Of the
cholera in Hamburg, not . thing was known
about it the day the Lain left Bremen, August
%. although the London papers received at
southampton the following day were FULL Of it.
Mr.. Hayden went over for the sake Of the
ocean voyage, and was ashofe onlv an hour and

The scare means the loss Of millions of dol
lars to the great transatlantic steamship COM

Of the Hamburg line, left New York yesterday
with only six frst-class passengers instead Of
about 800, her usual complement These six
ought to receive plenty Of attention on the
voyage, g they have scventy-thrss stewards TO

RECIPROCITY THE SUBJECT.

what 10 Expected to BE the Line OF Mr.
Blainc's Coming Letter.
1t is expected that the letter Mr.. Blaine is
said to be preparing a. his contribution to the
republican campaign literature will be on the
subject of reciprocity, and that he will take the
grounds that the highest necessary measure Of
protection should beyielded only in consideration
Of reciprocal favors from foreign countries,
and that always in the reduction Of tariff duties
the reciprocity plan, which he advocated when
the Mckinley bill was under consideration by
Congress should be adopted. It is thought that in
this connection he viii call attention to what has
been accomplished through reciprocity and
point out future possibilities. He is expected
to make the basis OF his attack upon the demo-
cratic position that by their policy of reducing
the tariff they would abandon the weapons 70
be used in compelling foreign countries to do
commercial Justice to the United States.

THE LETTER OF ACCEPTANCE.
Points 1t IL Expected That President Har

rison Will Touch Upon.
There is great deal Of speculation as to the
probable contents Of President Harrison's let
ter Of acceptance. It is assumed as a matter of
course that the tariff will be the principal ques-
tion discussed and that there will be strong
defense of the Mckinley bill, with especial
reference to the reciprocity feature, with a re-
view Of what has been accomplished under it,
and general defense Of the republican pro-
lection policy.
1t is said that the President will not avoid the
'force bill' question, but will refer to it in
such manner as not to admit of its being
made an issue in this campaign.
With relation to financial questions it is said
that he will take strong grounds against the
democratic proposition to restore the state
bank currency and will present the republican
party as the defender Of honest money. He
will probably touch upon the record of the re-
publican administration and republican Con-
gress.
