A COSTLY EXPERIMENT.
Heavy Rollers Delay the Corona at
Port Los Angeles.

SAN DIEGO, June 19.-The steamer
Corona arrived from San Francisco and
way ports at 10:30 o'clock this forenoon,
sixteen and half hours late. The delay
was occasioned by rough weather at Port
Los Angeles, where heavy ground swell
in that roadstead tore the Corona loose
from her moorings again and again, break
ing all her mooring lines but one nawser.
They were spliced as often as broken, but
the work OF dischargng consumed twelve
hours. seven hours over schedule time.
Over $500 worth Of hawser's were des-
troyed in the operation of dscharging at
the great ocean wharf of the Southern
Pacific Company. Some of the officers of
the Corona attributed her delay TO the
breaking down Of her engines, but dis
gusted passengers told the real cause of
the trouble.

Saved BY a Spider.

One day Union soldier was fleeing
for his life from Confederate sharpshoot-
crs, says The Pittsburg Dispatch. At
last he saw hollow log, and needing
rest crept into it, feet foremost. His face
was but "a few feet from the open end.
Shortly after he got into the log large
spider came and spun his web over the
open log as much as to say, II will save
you" He spun his web round and round,
backward and forward, until network
was made. Then the spider disappeared.
A short time after the spider had left
the log, along came the Confederates.
They stopped close to the log where the
poor soldier lay nearly frightened to
death. He heard them say there is no
one in there, and they passed on. The
soldier stayed in his log until next morn
ing, when be made his escape back to
his fellow soldiers, and told them of the
good spider that saved him from the
hands of the enemy.

Befriended @ Tramp.

As reward for giving a meal and help
ing him on his way, G. L. Kreissing, Of
the Home Dressed Beef Company, Pitts
burg, Penn, has been bequeathed $12,-
600. A year ago Kreissing, while walk.
ing down Carson street, was accosted by
a stranger, who told a narrowing story Of
hard luck. Kreissing was on his way to
a restaurant, and taking the man with
him, bought him meal. The tramp re-
fused to drink liquor, and that caused
Kreissing to take additional interest in
him. After the meal, Mr.. Kreissing gave
the tramp his address, some change to
help him buy q ticket to his home in
Kittaning, and left him. A few days
ago Mr.. Kreissing received word from a
firm of lawyers in Kittaning, stating that
the stranger whom he had helped had
died and left him $12,G that he had
come in possession of few weeks before
his death. A singular part of the story
is that another G. L. Kreissing, living at
Lock Haven, has put in claim for the

A Cuban Mattress.

A woman who has been travelling in
the far South has a curious tale to tell OF
her experiences in Havana.
"The best hotel there" she says, ''is
very poor one to an American. When
we arrived we found that the only room,
with mattress on the bed was being re-.
served for some members of the Have.
meyer family. AS they had not arrived
however, the proprietor consented that ]
should occupy it. The much-vaunted
mattress was poor one of excelsior, and
one that would have scoffed at at home.
In Havana one may not be too particular,
as will be seen.
"My first night on the mattress was
disturbed by an occasional movement
beneath me which | could not under
stand, aud which cursory investigation
did not reveal. In the morning, however,
l searched more thoroughly and found q
slit in the mattress, and on exploring a
little deeper lively rat mother with a
nest of young ones.

The Champion Sportsman.

Delhi has been visited occasionally by
famous sportsmen, but not one of them
has as yet made such good bag as the
native shikari Moestafar The day be-
fore yesterday he met female elephant
with young one. He shot the mother
and then caught the calf elephant and
tried to fasten it to tree. Whilst do
ing this it commenced to ''trumpet' SC
loudly that two large elephants appeared
on the scene, coming to the rescue.
Moestafar, however, would not let go his
prey, and after shooting both elephants
proceeded to Locboeg Pakam, with the
young one, where it is at present. The
following morning he went back to see
the dead bodies and had the good luck
to find two tigers On the spot, both of
which he shot. Within two days he
therefore managed to kill three elephants
and two tigers. This man has alto
gether shot six tigers within a short
period. This happened near the thirty
second mile stone on the road to Per-
baaengan.-[Delhi Qndia) Courant.

Will Good Roads Pay?

Mr.. Stephen Favill, of Madison, Wis,
in an article on highways, says: ''But
the question of whether or not it will pay
to build and care for our country roads
is fortunately not all theory. But the
practical demonstration has been worked
out. England, France, Germany, and
many other of the European countries
have solved this problem to their entire
satisfaction, and some parts of our own
country have tried this matter far enough
to prove that as a business venture it is
one Of the very best for the farmers.
There has been no general taking hold of
this matter in this country as in Euro
pean countries, but some of the States
have laws allowing counties to bond and
borrow money to build roads. My time
will allow me to give only one or two of
the many good results that have come
from good roads. In Union County, N.
j., the road improvement fever got hold
of the people, and they expended $780,
900 in matchmaking their roads, and
the testimony Of those best qualified to
know is that the increased valuation of
their lands would more than six times
nav the cost. Just one case of a man
owning 1913 acres that he valued at $65
an acre and could not find q buyer at
that, had, since the advent of good roads,
refused $500 an acre for the whole tract.
| do not claim that all land would be ad-
vanced in price at that rate, but am
confident that the increase in the value
of our farming lands that would follow
the advent of good roads in our State
would very much more than pay all the
cost of building them, to say nothing of
the convenience and luxury of having a
road that could be used at any season Of

A Great French Prison.

"Mazas Prison, in which the French
Panamaters are incarcerated," said P.
G. Fouse of Philadelphia, 'is one of the
meanest and dreariest on the face of the
earth. Each cell is about eleven feet
long by 81 wide and less than nine high,
and the only light is admitted through a
small pane of roughed glass. TT 3prison

overcoat there all the time at this season.
cit was of cell in Mazas that Victor
Hugo, who was one of the first to enjoy
the hospitality of this prison, said that
'one's first impression is the darkness,
ones second the cold.' Each cell is
fitted with a small table, stool which
is chained to the wall, hammock bed
and small quantity of in-plate uten-
sils.
'The hours in force at Mazas are a.
follows: At 7 o'clock the bell rings foI
prisoners to rise. Half an hour later a
warder opens the cell door, by which
time the prisoner must have swept his
cell, folded up his hammock and be
ready for inspection. The warder hands
him his loaf of bread and fills his jug
with his daily allowance of water. AT
8 o'clock his first meal of vegetable soup
is served, meat soup being only allowed
on Sundays and holidays.
cat 8 o'clock the second and last meal
of the day is served to the prisoners.
It consists ola gamelle of beans or lentils,
meat being given only twice week.
At o'clock the bell warns prisoners to
get their cells ready for the night, and
at 10 o'clock all lights are put out.

himself for three quarters of an hour

In that year the number Of trade,

Vnarles Observation-Disclosures of England'A
Attitude During the War


Attitude During the War.
But especially toward Great Britain
Mr. Sumner felt his strongest, posi-
Oily his most bitter, resentment.
Reared in the study. of her history,
hAed with respectful admiration for
her great men, learned in all the de-
tails Of her constitutional existence,
sincere follower of the liberal school
from which her greater glories
spfing, and, so to speak, enamored of
those aboktionists who, long before
his day, had trodden the path upon
which he had walked uDflinchingly,
Mr.. Sumner, it may be said, felt, as
regards that nation, which had we'll
nigh openly declared its hostility of
the Unions cause, a sentiment Of love
betrayed.
How was it possible that Lord Rus,
sell, the impregnable bulwark of the
abolitionist cause in England, had be-
come in 1852 an opponent of Ameri-
can abolitionists? 1t was always
with bitter sadness, though never
angrily, that Mr.. Sumner exple ssed
AahoSii as dldlHS ulIc tAlSUlUS Itld-
tons between the United States and
Great Britain. TO his mind that ma
tion was guilty of great moral
wrong, and owed those who had suf-
fered therefrom a manifest. atone
mept.
Such was the feeling which inspired
his speeches, at times eloQuently pas
slonate, on the existing intercourse
between the two Anglo-Saxon nations.
On reading them one can readily un-
derstand what explosions such fiery
words wou.d provoke on the other
side of the Atlantic. A challenge of
war was thought to be concealed I'M
der them. The orator was even &C
cused of exciting the worst of feel
ings and of appealing to the darkest
of hatreds. But in all this English
public opinion was mistaken. Mr..
Sumner only considered that Lord
Palmerston, Lord Russell and their
colleagues had wronged the United
States, and it was by appealing to
higher sentiments that he demanded
Justice of their successors.
