Sat On by a Smuggler.

A few miles from Lochnow is the
little harbor Of Daily Bay. Here
smugglerS had landed Il cargo of their
usual wares and these were carried
up the hill of South Cairn, waiting
till band of volunteers arrived with
string of packhorses to transport
them inland for distribution, says
the Boston Herald.
The Custom-house officer in charge
of the district received information
of their doings, and, hurrying to the
spot with the only coast guardsman
disengaged, he promptly effected a
seizure of the goods. The smugglers
skulked off and the one guardsman
was sent back to press men and
horses in the Kings name to carry
the precious treasure to Stranraer.
The officer, pluming himself not a
little on his alacrity, sauntered
sentry fashion round and round his
prize, which lay heaped before him
in rich protusion, his sword and i
brace of formidable pistols at his
side

preached the great man, wishing HIM
a good morning, to which he affably
.eplied and accepted Maggie's prof
fered hand. His arm was thrust up
ward and at the same time he waa
encircled by the SIRENS arms, and,
with a heavy fall, was thrown help
lessly on his back.
Maggie then sat coolly down upon
her victim and, having placed her
apron over his eyes, she held him
firmly down, as if held in vice.
At last, but only when it suited
her pleasure, Maggie released him
from her grasp. Bet when he looked
up not one of the articles lay 10 it's

before on the ground.

Tennessee OnYx-Caves.

"What 1 believe to be the largest
and finest onyx deposits in the
world" said Mr.. Philo B. Shepard,
! shave recently been discovered in
some caves in the Cum berland
Mountains of West Tennessee. 1t
has been known for some time that
there was fine quality of onyx or
chalcedony there, but the mines or
caves have scarcely been touched, and
recently my attention was brought to
the existence Of large caves in Andeer-
son County, the roofs of which are
bristling with stalactites OF onyx, and
in some cases, the columns reach to
the floor OF the cavern. ! found one
column IA feet in length, the top of
which is more than four feet in di-
ameter, and, I believe, an onyx slab
four feet wide by six long could be
sawed from it.
1.-THE onyx in these caves is won
derfully free from sand pockets and
oJher blemishes, and is more richly
cOlored than any / ever saw, and
seems to exist in unlimited quantity.
Onyx, as you may know, is formed by
the drippings of limestone, and in
early stages looks like prisms of glass
or frosted icicles hanging from the
roof, and countless ages must elapSe
before even the smallest cone of onyx
could form, while the large column /
have described must have been grow
ing since the beginning of time.
When the value of these stones be-
comes known to the world then
Tennessee onyx will be more widely
known than Italian marble, but as
yet only few samples have been
taken out" st Louis Globe-Dem-
Ocrat.

THE sHIPMAN's TALE.

Listen my masters. ! spake naught but truth
From dawn to dawn they drifted on and on,
Not knowing whittier or to what dark end,
Now the north froze them, now the hot south
schorched.
Some called to God, and found great comfort
80;
Some guasbed their teeth with curses, and
some laughed
An empty laughter seeing that they lived,
So sweet was breath between their foolish
lips.
Day after day the same rentless sun.
Night after night the same Implying stars.
Showing vast hollow spaces, and the sleet
Kissed, and the torrents of the sky were
loosed.
From time to time hand relaxed its grip,
And some pale wretch slid down into the
dark
With stilled moan, and transient horror seized
The rest who waited knowing what must be-
At every turn strange shapes reached up and
clutched
The whirling wreck, held on awhile, and then
Slipt back into that blackness whence they
came.
All, hapless folk, to be so tost and torn,
So racked by hunger fever fire, and wave,
And swept at last into the nameless void
Frail girls: strong men, and mothers with
their babes!
And were none saved? !
Ny masters, not a soul!
o. shipman, wofuI, woful is thy tale
Our hearts are heavy and our eyes are
dimmed.
What ship is this that suffered such III fate?
What ship my masters? Know ye not?-the
world.

Noteworthy Achievements.

In Great Britain there were
two really noteworthy engineering
achievements during the year 1892
One was the construction of nearly
the whole Of the elevated railway
running along the water front of
Liverpool for about six miles, and
the other was the change of 200 miles
of broad-gauge track on the Great
Western Railway to standard-gauge,
practically ending ''the battle of the
gauges" The old track had rails
seven feet apart supported on longi-
tudinal timbers resting on cross ties
Before the actual change was made
the ballast was removed from the
inner side Of one of the longitudinals
and some Of the cross-ties were sawed
off to the requisite length. At mid
night, May 20, traffic was stopped.
the men commenced cutting the re-
mainder of the ties and shifting the
rail to its proper position for the new
guage. They moved the line inward
six or eight inches at a time tor a
length or fifty or sixty feet and then
worked back, moving it for another
six or eight inches until in its final
position. The track was then lined
up and surfaced, and the ballast re-
laid and tamped. The time required
to change this entire length of 200
miles, including many switches and
turnouts, was thirty-one hours, and
the cost OF the work. including alter
ations to rolling stock, is estimated
at about SIS, 600. 900. About 5, 900 men
were employed, divided into gangs of
twenty laborers and foreman. The
men supplied their own food. but one
OF the directors of the company. who
owns a tobacco factory, furnished
them with tobacco It should be
noted in this connection, however,
that much more rapid work of the
same nature has been djne In this
country. For instance. nearly I3, 900
miles OF track in the Southern States
were changed from f1ve-foot to the
Western Kansas world. [volume] (WaKeeney, Kan.) 1885-current, 1893-04-15
Fast Railroad Time.

Exceedingly fast time has been
made on some American railroads
within the past few years, in several
instances speed Of more than a mile
a minute having been attained. But
in nearly all these cases the runs
have been short, often covering only
a few miles For trip of nearly
two hundred miles, the record made
short time since on the Chicago and
Alton road between Chicago and
Springfield has rarely been equalled
never, it is said, on western road,
whether for long or short run. The
distance travelled in this case was 1876
miles, which was accomplished in 1876
minutes, making fourteen stops and
eight slow-ups. The train consisted
of seven cars, and was drawn by an
eight-wheel engine, the weight of
which is stated at SO, 900 pounds

paused and asked in a low voice, SIS

"You," answered Signor Philippini
from behind the safe. sis the Aunt
Sally business over?" and he came out
with long pole in his hand. He
used the pole to stir poor Atlas up
when the roars became deficient in
quantity or quality.
''The money ought to be here in
three hours. said Dick. '.Have you
got the back-door key?"
Philippini treasured him. Then
Dick took wild running leap at the
window; Philippine stirred up Atlas,
who roared Justify. Dick escaped
with his life and landed a breathIess
heap at the mayors feet. The mayor
raised him and said he should write
to her majesty and suggested that
Dick would be proper recipient of
the Albert Medal, and the vicar (who
had no money in the bank) indig-
nantly asked the crowd if they could
not trust a family which produced
scions like that. Several people
cried, Hear. heart" and told Mr.
Bradshaw that they never really
meant to withdraw their deposits.
Mr.. Bradshaw thanked them and
looked at his watch.
At half-past three, Philippini ran
up; he was breathless, and his shoes
were dusty from walking in the
country. At once he affected an
entry, amid scene Of great excite
ment. A moment later, he appeared
at the window and cried, in a terror.
stricken voice:
81 can't 'old i'm! I can't 'old i'm!
He's mad! Look out for yourselves"
and he leaped from the window.
The crowd fled in all directions, and
two boys were all but run over by
cart which was being driven rapidly
from the railway station to the bank.
"All right" said Dick to the sig
nor; "bring up the wagon" And
then, with great difficulty and con-
courage, the signor and
Dick brought an iron cage up to the
window and drove Atlas in. The
operation took more than an hour,
because they had to feed Atlas and
drink bottle of champagne them
selves before they set about it. So
that it was o'clock before Atlas was
out and the money was in and the
Sandhill and District Bank opened it's
doors for business.

manner in which Worth arrives at

years ago he received commission
for new fancy dress from a trans
atlantic belle-cart blanche as to
price, but it was to be absolutely
unique. The great man passed a
whole night dreaming vain dreams
and consulting with one of his col
laborateurs, but the inspired idea re-
fused to come. Worn out and weary,
the two artists stepped out on to the
balcony to smoke cigarette.
