MR.. FIELDS DESCRIPTION OF A THRILLING
SCENE IN MTDoCEAN

But our work was not over. After landing
the cable safely at Newfoundland we had an
other task. to return TO midocean and recover
that lost in the expedition OF last year QS65).
This achievement has perhaps excited more
surprise shan the other. Many even now do
not understand it" and every day am asked,
How was il doneg'' Well. il does seem rather
difficult TO FISH for jewel 1T the bottom OF the
ocean 2lR miles deep. But it is not SO very diff
cult when you know how.
Once. on the 18th OF August. we got the
cable up and had iC in full sight for FIVE
minutes-a long, Shiny monster, fresh from
the ooze OF the oceans bcd-but our men began
10 cheer so wildly that it seemed to be fright
enej, and suddenly broke away and went
down into the sea This accident kept rs at
work two weeks longer. but finally, on the last
night of August. we caught AZ. We had cast
the grapnel thirty times.

WRITING ON THE SANDS.

Ny name upon the sand;
Nor cared to think how soon the race

But now-alas, that human pride
So slight a thing may quell.
With yonder words beneath the tide

May disappear as well.
And dare deem that all this strife
OF thoughts within my soul
These hopes with which my heart is rife
These longings for glorious lie
VIII find better goal!
Oh, coward. when the trumpet's cali
Is sounding in thy heart,
Pause not to basely reckon all
The risks TO triumph or to fall,
But forth-and act thy part!

Or barren stalks await
Mine autumn hours. Yet not in vain

Or grant the harvest late.

A SONG OF THE CABLE.

SUM- OF 1HE CABLE.
Come, listen all unto my song;
1t is no silly fable;
IT'S all about the mighty cord
They call the Atlantic cable.
Bold Cyrus Field. he said, says he,
Il have pretty notion
That | can run telegraph
Across the Atlantic ocean,"
Then all the people laughed, and said
They'd like TO see him do it;
He might get half seas over, but
He never could get through it.
To carry ont his foolish plan
He never would be able;
He might as well go hang himself
With his Atlantic cable.
But Cyrus was valiant man.
4 fellow of decision,
And needed not their mocking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his bravest efforts fail,
And ye; his mind was stable;
He want the man to break his heart
Because he broke his cable.
"Once more, my gallant boys" he cried;
Three timesr'-you know the fable:
9Th make It thirty" mUttered he,
"But what I'll lay this cable.')

A Boys Method ofAvoiding Bad Dreams.

~ 4DoF OF ANolNlnE tSau DreamGs
y friend has told us that during a long
period of his childhood he maintained
the habit of praying every night before
going 10 sleep that no bad dreams might
trouble him, acting in curious, unthink-
ing coincidence with good old Bishop
Ken, who generations ago reSorted to
the same expedient. To further his
prayers the little boy in spirit of phi
losophy beyond his years, would try 70
concentrate his ideas on all the most
humdrum things he could think of. his
thoughts usually settling ON the figure
Of an old Welsh landlord. small man
with a brown wig, whom he had &C.
casionally visited with his father. and
who, TO his childish fancy, appeared the
very personitication of commonplace.

FRANK LINGO'S FATI
The Supreme Court Denies His APPEAL
for 4 New Trial.
FUDGE WEsCorT DOESN'T GIVE Up,

CONFIDENT or the Innocence or HIS
Client tho Loyal Counsel Will
Carry the Case TO the Court Of
Errors and Appeals as tho Next
Move The Prisoners Agitation.
CAMpES, N. u, Feb. d. Francis
Lingo was refused new trial by the
supreme court Of New Jersey, at Tren
ton. Chief Justice Beasley read the
opinion. This case was taken TO the
supreme court on rule to show cause
why i new trial should not BE- granted,
on the ground that the verdict was not
in accord with the evidence in the case.
Justice Beasley had not prepared a writ
ten opinion. After carefully examining
the evidence, the chief Justice found
that the verdict was entirely in accord
ance with the evidence, and, therefore,
refused a new trial to the convicted, and
dismissed the rule.
The decision in the case creates great
surprise in this city.
Judge Wescott's Loyalty.
Judge Weecott has been much exer-
cised over the case since hast Tuesday.
He was almost positive of the result
from rumors of an authentic character
which came to him then. Il was gem
orally rnmorcd ON the streets Of Trenton
that the supreme court would decide
against new trial for Lingo. Since
then the Judge has been raclxing his
brain to decide on his new move In the
case # it Is possible to get the matter
before the court Of errors and appeals
Judge Wescott will get II there.
II viii not give up the fight as long
Is there Is q fighting chance for Frank
Lingo he declared.
IF ! could only get into my head the
impression Of his guilt would be salts
fed, but am IS positive Of his limo
cence as am Of my own, Judge Wes-
colt said fervently. Lingo win never
hang II there Il any possibility Of pre-
venting it,
Judge Wescott win do everything IN
his power to prevent the hanging Of the
man in. whose innocence he feels 50
sure.
Lingo's Disappointment-
Lingo's counsel claims that the evi-
dence secured since the trial, and which
would have been presented at new
trial, shows that Lingo u not the man
who was seen Ia the vicinity Of the spot
where Mrs. Miller was murdered.
In case the court of errors and appeals
sustains the decision OF the supreme
court, q last appeal win be made TO the
court Of pardons, and petitions win bt
spread throughout Camden county fol
signers, requesting the pardoninq
power to at least commute sentence
Of capital punishment to imprisonment
Lingo has been buoyed up with the
hope Of securing new trial, and when
notified by the officials Of the Camden
county jail that the court had decided
against him he retired to his cell and
refused to say anything, although he
was evidently much agitated.

1t remained for Assemblyman Hardin
to discover that there was no law ON the
statute books against carrying concealed
weapons. he accordingly introduced =
bill which provides That IT any person
shall be apprehended IN any city OF this
state having concealed on his or her per-

shall not apply to sheriffs, under sheriffs,
