Prospect 'Of Riding from Cape Horn tc
 Cape Town by Continuous Rail.

Prospect of Riding from Cape Horn to
 Cape Town by Continuous Rail.
 It adds something to the zest of life if one has 8 healthy and active fancy to reflect that there arc people now living who may travel by continuous rail from Cape Horn to the Cape of Good Hope. The plan of a ''pan-Amcr ican" railway to connect the South American systems through Central America. with the systems of Mexico and the United States, is already well advanced. There are, says tho Review of Reviews, to be roads from tho Cana dian Pacific away up to the Peace river and Mackenzie valleys, and it is not very hard to believe that these may ultimately be extended across the Rockies to the Ulzon valley in Alaska, and continued finally to the narrow and shallow Bchring straits, across which a connection would be made with the Siberian road. Continuous rail travel from Siberia to Constantinoplc will soon have become an accomplished fact, and the link from Constantinople to Egypt may be expected quite conf- dently. At tho present rate of develop ments in Africa the construction of Q road from Egypt to the Cape ought to be realized within twenty-five years. The channel tunnel will, of course, have been built, and electricity or some still more powerful motive forceowill have superseded steam; so that the Cali fornians and Puget sound dcnizcns would naturally go to London by fast Alaskan and Siberian express. If they chose they might return by steamship. making the passage in two or three days from the west coast of Ireland to Labrador or Halifax. In view of all that has been dono in the past twenty five years such further development of travelling facilities Is easily within the realm of sober prediction.

''I shall find a way to induce Mrs. O'Gorman to come to terms if it shall really transpire that she is suppressing important documentary evidence" re- marked North, with trace of sllcptic- ism in his tone and manner. But be- fore proceed to any desperate meas ures wish to have some idea of what those papers contain. Come now, Den his, my good fellow, if you can tell a plain, unvarnished tale,' begin at once, and impart to me all that you know of this wonderful story"
 And lazily lighting a cigar, North settled himself comfortably in his chair to listen. But after the first few puffs he forgot his cigar and everything else in utter ,amazemcnt at the story that Dennis now related to him. When at last the rambling but consistent narra- tive was ended, North rose from his chair, tossing aside the lifeless cigar, and walked rapidly to and fro with half astonishmcnt and incredulity.
 Impossible! A fabrication on the very face of itv' he muttered under his breath, half vcXcd at himself for hay ing listened to such a story. And yet, what can this man hope to gain by such stupid imposition? And how could his story tally so perfectly with the few facts in my possession if they were not genuine bits of the same mosaic of truth? Stranger than fiction,' indeed, if it prove not to be one tissue of falsehood from beginning to end! I must go at once to Evansburg and see this O'Gor- man woman. She shall not refuse mo when demand those papers!"
 Pausing beside Dennis, North added, with his watch open in his hand:
 Glow far is it to Evansburg, my good man?"
 Tin moils, sorr, by the commits siOncrs' road" answered Dennis, eagerly pcrcciving North's intention.
 "The commissioners road?" echoed North. "Is that the only way to get there? Isn't it on the line of rail road?"
 Railroad, is it?" returned Dennis, with fine scorn. "Nivcr rail goes any where near it, nor a road, savin' the ono I mintioned to yer honor."
 "Then must drive over," said North, closing his watch aNd turning toward the writing-tablc where he had tossed his hat and'gloves on last entering the

The Ohio and Mississippi Rivers.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 24.-The Ohio river from Pittsburg to Louisville is falling and from Evansville to Cairo is rising, and the Mississippi river from CaiLo to New Orleans is rising.
 ShclI Mounds of Florida.
 A ships officer who has spent much time on the St. Johns river, Florida, thinks that he has solved the problem as to the origin of the shell mounds that occur along that stream. The river twists about in an extraordinary way, so that in many places a view along the water extends for only q few rods, but he finds that tall object or the smoke of a fire shown from the top of one of these mounds could be seer from those next below and above, and he believes that these cminences were Indian signal stations, by means ot which the natives were able to an nouncc the approach of q hostile for>> along the river, as the Greeks siGn&!cI the news of the fall of Troy to t!.o!i home cities by lights on the mount&!i tops, that were repeated from peak t.

DOWN THE STREET.

room. "And you, Dennis, must come with me. Just run down, will you, and call carriage. I shall be ready to start in Q very few moments. We must lose no time"
 Obeying this request, Dennis left the room with eager haste, evidently anx- ious to do everything within h1s power to expedite North's movements.
 When n few minutes later North madc his appearance on the steps of the hotel, Dennis O'Rcilly was already there with Q close carriage and pair of horses which he had been so fortunate as to secure from the Clement house stables.
 Although he was inwardly consumed with impaticncc, North laid strong restraint upon himself so that outward ly he was 0 model of cool. calm com posture. While his impulse was to spring hastily into the carriage and give the rein to the eager, impatient horses that were chafing under Dennis strong the pavement to exchange little tri- fling conversation with a passing ao- quaintancc (of Nolrs) who greeted him. It was while he was thus engaged, standing with one foot on the carriage step, that handsome victoria, driven by liveried coachman. came sweeping down the street, with an almost i'm perceptiblc slaclening of speed as it came opposite the Clement house. North glanced up carelessly and became vaguely conscious that Mrs. Maynard, looking like a queen in her rich velvet costume, was lowing to him graciously from the carriage. Vaguely conscious of this, because in the same moment his glance fell upon the lady who was seated beside her; and al1 his carefully assumed composure was swept away for an instant by tho violent start that he gave, the conflicting expressions that passed in lightning transition over his suddenly paling face. He never was able to recall aftcrward whether or not he returned Mrs. Maynard's salutation: his only consciousness was of gazing blanlIly after tho vanishing carriage with his eyes fixed upon that slight, graceful figure at Mrs Maynord's side and his white lips murmuring insanely l the one name:
 "Myral Myra!'
 He was rudely aroused from this mo- mcntary alteration by a wild clutch at his arm, and turning quickly he en- countcred Dennis O'Rcilly.
 What is the matter with you. O'Reilly2" North demanded, sharply, shaking off the brawny hand that was loath to relinquish it's clutch. Don't touch mo again. What has happened to make you lose your senses in this way?"
 Dennis scarcely seemed to hear these words. His round eyes were extended to their utmost capacity, his mouth was wide open, his very hair seemed to be suddenly electrified and on end with wonder and delight.
 Did ycz say her, Misther North3' he exclaimed in a voice that was hoarse with excitement. "The swate young Teddy In the lecrridGe, sorrP Och. Ma vourneen! It's Dinnis ns wul niver fur git yer swate loolxsl By me sowl. SOFT,

 North stood in stupefied silence for a moment, gazing at O'Reilly, but in reality seeing only that sweet, pale face whose beauty had gladdened his eyes for one cruelty brief moment after four long years of silence and mystery and separation. He was slow to recov- CT his usual sane judgment, slow to comprehend the significance of the words that Dennis had spoken. Then in rush the strange developments of the past hour, the strange confirmation of the past moment swept over him.
 Springing eagerly into the carriage and motioning O'Reilly to the drivers seat, he cried, in sharp imperative tones:
 "There is no time to waste, Dennis! Drive me to Evansburg as quickly as possibler'
