GOLD IN GARRETT.
Another rich Find that viii Probably Amount to
Nothing

Another rich Find that Will Probably Amount to
Nothing.
A ripple of excitement was caused
in Garrett County, Md, during the
past week by the discovery of what
is supposed to be gold on "Negro
Mountain" The discovery was made
by Mr.. George Brandt on a tract of
land belonging to Mr.. G. W. Delaw-
der. The ore has been examined by a
gentleman who has been connected
for long time with financial insti-
tuition near the mining region of the
Northwest. He is inclined to the opin-
ion that the specimen is gold ore and
says if 1t is gold it is very rich. Mr..
Delawder has sent a quality of the ore
to have it tested. He owns large
track of land where the ore was dis
covered.

HOW IT GAME ABOUT,
Incidents Of the Contest That Led Up to the Pima
Happy Termination.

Incidents of the Contest That Led Up to the Pima
Happy Termination.
Assuming that the Senatorial prob
lem is happily solved by the nomina-
ton Tuesday night Of the two strongest
the candidates, discussion of means
by which that end was reached may
not be uninteresting.
On Monday afternoon the activity of
partisans Of Mr. Camden and Senator
Faulkner gave rise to rumors that an
important deal was about to be con
summated. Both sides held conferen-
ces in the evening, and the complica-
tons would have been fully and salts
factorily adjusted that night, but for
the candidacy of Mr.. Chiffon, which
was the disturbing factor. Mr.. Chiffon
declined to withdraw from the race,
but Tuesday another conference was
held by that gentleman, Mr.. Camden
and Mr.. Faulkner. The situation was
fully discussed and Mr.. Chiffon con
sented to withdraw his name. Then
the Camden people withdrew all OBJ
lection to holding the caucus Tuesday
| night. Col. McGraw stated to cor.
respondent that the reasons for the
compromise on the part of Mr.. Camden
| were the prevailing sentiment among
the people of the State that Mr.. Faux
ner was as much candidate in the
late election as Grover Cleveland, anC
that Mr.. Camden could with better
grace accept the unexpired term thar
Mr.. Faulkner. The Camden people
claimed to have majority ofmember'
with them, and showed a list of thirty
two men who were pledged to vote fol
Mr.. Camden. Mr. Camden called up
on Senator Faulkner, and told tina
gentleman that he should be reelected
as matter Of right and announced hi
withdrawal from the race for the full
term. There was no proposition mad'
by which the Faulkner support was t.
go to Mr.. Camden for the unexpiret
term in return for votes for Faulkner
but it was implicitly understood. Mr
Camden asked no promises from .Sena
tor Faulkner.

BOUND WITH HER SKIN.

NJ. Flammarion's Strange Legacy From Lady
Who Had Died.
A cable from Paris to the New York
Herald says:
NJ Camille Flammarion, the we'll
known astronomical correspondent of
the Herald, was some years ago the
guest at the country seat of certain
Count and Countess, whose name he
requests us to suppress. The Countess
was of foreign origin. Her husbands
seat is in the Department of Jura.
She was dying with consumption,
and became deeply impressed with NJ.
Flammarion's accounts of his scientific
flights to siderial regions. She became
imbued with his theory of the plurality
of inhabitable worlds, and this enabled
her to await the inevitably fatal term
ination of her disease with calm resig-
nation, perhaps with hope that death
might only prove translation to Mars
or some other planet or celestial world
In the due course of time Nine. Flam-
marion's visit came to an end. He re-
turned to his observory at Juvisy and
forgot in the absorption of astronomi-
cal studies all about his hostess at the
chateau and mountains of the Jura.
Some time ago package arrived at
! the observatory accompanied by let
ter in black-edged envelope. The
packet and letter were received by
Nine. Flammarion, who, on examining
the contents, found that the package
contained large piece of white skin,
very thick and most cold to the touch.
The letter read as follows:
Dear SRI hereby carry out the
dying wish of a woman who
strangely liked you. She made me
swear to send you the day following
her death the skin from those beauti-
full shoulders which you so much ad-
mired the evening you were bidding
her farewell. Her desire is that you
have bound in this skin the first copy
of the first work that you shall have
published after her death. | forward
you, my dear sir, this legacy as | had
vowed to do.
The letter was signed by a we'll
known medical practitioner of the Ju-
! ra.
"As a matter of fact" said NJ.
Flammarion. 81 had admired the
beautiful shoulders of the Countess on
the evening | last saw her, and when
she was III a decollete dinner toilet.
What was to do with the strange lega-
cy 4? | was tempted to send it back,
but on reflection determined to carry
out the wish of the dead woman,
whom | remembered with pleasure.
Accordingly | sent it to tanner, who
worked on it for three months, and he
sent it it back beautifully prepared.
I have just had my last work, "Terre
ct Ciel." bound with it. Here is the
volume"
The binding is not only unique but
exceedingly handsome. Omit is stamp
in gold letters the words:
Souvenir dune morte."

ONLY FOOD ENOUGH FOR A YEAR.

IfSupples were cut off Surplus Food Would last that
Length of Time.
The sulphus food supply of the world
would last, looking at the question
from the purely human point in view,
little over year, supposing vegeta-
BILE supplies were cut off and domestic
and food animals had to be fed on
stored produced. Men and beast would
exhaust this in about twelve months,
man, of course, slaughtering live stock
for food all the time, and so decreasing
the consumption of vegetable produce
by animals, The estimate does not in
clude fishing or hunting, and only APP
plies to civilized communities.

OYSTERS ARE VERY HIGH.

One Shrowd Boat Owner Gets $4,000 for Cargo
Of the Bivavos.
Oysters were selling in Baltimore
yesterday from S1.35 to S1.50 per
bushel along the wharves and the.
dealers had buyers in plenty at that
figure. A boat owner whose vessel
came up on Saturday with good load
on board and who was shrewd enough
to hold his cargo and to sell at the
highest figure, has realized on the car
go over $4,000, which is regarded as a,
phenomenally big price.

A Dream warning.

In 1877 fireman was dismissed from
service on the Baltimore & Ohio fast
mail, Parkersburg to Grafton. While
at work later in the oil region near
Volcano he dreamed three nights in
succession that his old engineer was
going to have wreck. He sent word
to "Jack" about his dreams and warned
him to be careful. The nextday "Jack"
had orders to meet fast passenger
coming west at Pennsboro. Instead Of
pulling up to the east end of the station
to wait for the westbound to take the
siding. Jack thought Of his warning
and stopped at the west end, a mile
away. When the westbound train tried
to stop at the east end the air brakes
failed to work, and the train was
stopped only twenty feet away from
Jacks engine, after the terrible sus-
pense of reversed engine, kissing steam,
flying sand and whistle screaming for
brakes. Jacks warning and conse-
quent precaution had saved an awful
wreck.-St Louis Republic.

A Queer African Race.

The Mandingoes, who inhabit a
tract of country in Africa, are strict
Mohammedans in religion, but, curious
" enough they still retain many Of
the superstitions of the negro race
from which they sprung. Consequent
ly their marriage ceremony is a
mixture of the two, and although it is
performed by marabout, or holy man
in the mosque, it contains one very
ridiculous element Next in impor
lance to the marabout is the bride
groom's sister, and when the marriage
ceremony reaches the point where the
visible bond. usually typified in civil
ization by the ring, appears, this sister
steps forward and In place of the ring
presents the lady with pair OF
trousers, which are Immediately
donned. The ceremony is concluded
by very mournful song sung by the
companions of the bride, who then
conduct her again to the home of her
parents, as owing to the extreme prob
ability of one or the other retracting
at any moment by reason of an un
favorable omen no house Is built until
the ceremony is completed. Polygamy
is the rule, but each wife has her own
house to keep her from quarreline
with the other wives. They are the
most tyrannieal wives in Africa, and
hating each other, band together
against their husband and rule hin
with rod of iron.
