WHO LOST THE MONEY?

There is one honest man in the world, as is evident from letter which Assistant Postmaster Cruikshank handed an AeE- HERALD man last night.
 The letter is a poorly written one, and from the tone of it it seems that the writer has found s6O and pair of spectacles be- longing to some person about some of the coal mines near the city.
 The letter was received yesterday, and reads as follows:

THE present Christmas is certainly much more prosperous and happy one to the workingmen of the Birmingham dis trict than last Christmas. A year ago our industries had not recovered from the stag nation of the panic and the strangulation of the strike. There was want and destitu- ton in our midst. Charity was freely dis pensed on every hand, and charitable citi zens who were blessed with an abundance of this worlds goods vied with each other in relieving the prevailing distress. Now the furnaces are turning out more iron than ever before, and the mines are taxing the capacity of the railroads to carry their out put, and peace and plenty abounds. Of course there are still individual cases of want, and these will be assisted bounti- fully and gladly.

ALONE On THE NORTH SEA.
The Peri1ous Voyage of an Old Woman
Shut Up In a Cabin.

The Peri1ous Voyage of an Old woman
Shut Up In Cabin.
One of the most extraordinary voyages
on record was that made by an old woman
from the Shetland islands to Norway some
years ago. The woman, whose name was
Elizabeth Mount, had gone to neighbor-
ing island to consult doctor, and the
skipper of the Columbine, a fishing craft
of 81 tons, offered her passage home.
Elizabeth accepted, but the little vessel was
soon forced by stress of weather to put
back. Proceeding to sea again, the Column
bine again met heavy weather, during
which the captain was knocked overheard
by the mainboop. The three other men
forming the crew proceeded to his assist
ance in a boat, and Elizabeth was left
alone on the smack. She endeavored to
reach the deck, but fell back to the floor
and was knocked senseless. The three men
reached land safely, but saw nothing OF
the captain. The Columbine meantime
drifted out to sea helplessly, the solitary
passenger remaining below, fearing to go
on deck. All night and next day the smack
was tossed about, and about O'Clock on
the second morning ran ashore on sandy
beach.
The pAee where the Colu1nbine came to
land af:.5i- it's erratic voyage across the
North sea was the little island Of Lepsoe
on the coast of Norway, IL miles north OF
the fishing town of Aalesund. Elizabeth
looked out of the hatchway and saw some
boys, who ran for assistance, and shortly
several fishermen appeared. One, with a
rope around his waist, walked into the
sea. but was several times beaten back.
At length he succeeded in reaching the
vessel and climbed on board and was
quickly followed by companion. Mean
time Elizabeth by desperate effort
climbed out on deck, where she had not
been since she had gone on board. The
men found her sitting almost helpless.
Their language was unknown to her, but
they gathered that the woman was the
only living creature on board. By means
of a rope from the shore and with the as
sistance of the recurring waves the vessel
was pulled as far up on the beach as prac
ticable and made fest.
The fishermen put rope around the
woman's waist and threw it to land. They
next lifted her over the bow and gave her
hold of the rope by which the vessel had
been drawn toward the shore and which
was there held taut by willing hands. Sus-
pended in midair this woman of so years
scrambled hand over hand for distance
of several yards until relieved by two men
from the shore, who, standing up to their
middle in the water, caught her in their
arms. She was carried ashore nearly dead
with terror and exhaustion. The people
gave her food and rest She gained strength
rapidly, and it was not long before she
found herself at her old home. Detroit
