and cried Of nights, but told no one, and
she lived single until she was 40. Then
one day, when she was up In the garrett,
she found a pair of red silk pockets in an
old box. She had missed the pockets.
They used to wear 'em outside, sir, which
seems funny now. She had missed them
and never guessed where they'd gone, but
somehow they'd been dropped into the box
that was carried up garrett that very
night. She'd not seen them for 30 years,
and she took them out and turned them
over, and letter fell into her lap.
1T was sealed, anu it had her name on
1t, and when she read it she found 1t was
an offer from this young gentleman, an
offer, sir, that she would have said yes to,
and thankful.
''She knew then that, being bashful,
he had slipped 1t into her pocket, and 1t
had been lost with 1t. Of course.
~ cried at first, Martha she said,
but afterward was glad, for knew how
we had loved each other. 1t was too late
to answer 1t, even II had known where
he was but I hoped some time he might
come back and know the truth. He will
never know now, Martha, she said, 'un-
less we meet in heaven And put the
little pockets, with the letter In them, un-

lit is very like story" said my great
uncle
He sat looking at tho picture for awhile,
and tho girl went on. The property was
left to charity, oil but "a legacy to her
self, and there was to be oh auction next
day, and she was cleaning up for it, and
then sho begged him to rest himself as
long as ho pleased and went about her
work.
When she had gone, Ruben Van Note
took tho miniature Of poor Priscilla Jan
from the mantelpiece and put it into his
bosom and walked away.
Doubtless the maid wondered long
whether that respectable old gentleman
could have been the thief or whether some
other had come In at the open door In her
absence.
But Priscilla's pretty face lay against
Ruben's heart until 1t ceased to beat and
have no doubt that IL lovers renew their
vows In heaven these two hearts have met

ss.: A LOST LOVE.

My uncle, Ruben Van Note, fell in love
with Priscilla Jan the very first time, and
as he was Lot the kind Of a man to waste
much time In courting he chose this way
of proposing.
Priscilla wore q gown Of m uslin, and
at tho belt hung two scarlet pockets, as
was the custom in those olden times Ru-
ben, having penned declaration one aft.
ernoon, took the opportunity (for he was
timid man) Of slipping tho note into one
of these pockets when she was not look
ing.
Then he tbok his leave and waited pa.
tiently for an answer. But none ever came.
Poor Ruben was not one to risk his
fate second time, and he ceased his
visits to the home of the JAMS. After
awhile he went away to England, and
NEWPORT knew him no more. He be-
came rather celebrated as O scientific man.
The bashfulness Of youth gone by, he
became grave, gallant gentleman Of the
old school, and he had his admirers even
among our sex, but he never fell In love-
and he never married.
At SO years Of age he took 1t into his
head to see Newport before he died. In
those years 1t had become fashionable
watering place. There were one or two
great hotels and plenty Of cottages The
sea view was as fine, the sea air as bracing
the girls as pretty as of yore, but they did
not wear painted muslins with poppies on
them nor outside pockets Of embroidered
silk.
Ruben Van Note strolled along the
beach and looked at the old tower and
sighed over the past q little. Then he
strolled up tho street to the house Of the
Jan family. 1t looked very much as for
merly, only the trees were large, and the
ivy vine quite covered the brick stable
with the pigeon houses on the roof. All its
windows were open, and woman was
dusting the shutters. When she came out
upon the porch to shake cloth, he spoke
to her.
"Does the Jan family live here ycti'
no asked.
Tho woman gave q long, slow shake of
the head and said:
"Tho last of the Jan family died three
days ago, Miss Priscilla Jan. / was her
maid. She was getting on In life-60
years old-and n delicate body always, but

Ruben stepped in and saw Priscilla, in
white and rcd, smiling at him from tho
chimneypioco. 1t was good likeness.

back and seated himself on tho sofa.

speaking aloud unconsciously.

THE QUEEN HALF CRAZY.
Reports in England of Her Queer Acts.

Especial to the New York Times.)
There seems to be no doubt that Queen
Victoria is passing again through ons OF
those phases of mi-insanity which re-
call that she is George Ill s granddaugh-
ter. These in the seventies were rather
frequent; of late years they have required
less often, but for six weeks now the
worst of the series has been giving every
body about Balnoral much az xiety and
ceaseless trouble. Rumors began to
cicrulate in London week ago that
things were wrong, and modified form
of them has been printed in Dublin, but
nowhere else, although pri vate letters
from Scotland show that it is common
knowledge there. 1t seems to have had
it's origin in the death of a young
nephew of John Browns, who had some
obscure post about Balmoral, but for
whom the queen burst forth in vehe-
ment mourning which took all by sur
prise. Since then she has been going to
his grave and to Browns in all wealth
ers, and doing other extraordinary things
of a crazy character, which it is impossi-
BILE any longer to ignore. The matter has
hardly yet become generally known in
England, and perhaps it will pass off
again without public mention, as in for
mer years.

Collector of Customs, Portland. Me:
Dear SirkOn the 18th instant at p.

Rye Beach, n Fl. and Halifax, Ms, was
suddenly interrupted. Tests taken from
each end show the interruption to be at
point about lat. AZ. 15N., long. 90. 20W.,
south of Browns Ba nix and was doubt
less caused by a fishing vessels anchor
dragging through the cable. My object
in writing is to ask if you will kindly
enquire now, and later oil, If any vessel
arriving at your port had trouble in rails
ing her anchor at the time and locality
mentioned? This is not with any view
whatever, to proceedings against the
captain concerned, on the contrary we
are always prepared to compensate own
ers for loss of gear injured while endeay-
oring in getting up their anchors to avoid
damage to our cable. 1t is simply for
the purpose of making more generally
known the position of our cable to cap
tains and owners by the issue of further
special notices and directions to ship
masters employed in fishing on the
banks off New England and Nova Scotia
coasts Any information you can afford
as to the best way Of effecting this OBJ
iect will BIO gladly received and apprecia-
ted by my company.
Trusting you will give this matter your
friendly attention, am, dear sir,
Yours very truly,

TO this letter Collector Deering at once
replied. assuring the Gable Company
that he would do all in his power to aid
them to get the desired information.
The collector has instructed the boarding
officer at this port to inquire of every YES
sci he may board if they have any knowl-
edge of this matter, and has aslo request
ed Capt. Henriques of the cutter Wood
bury to do the same.
In this connection the following
notice to owners and masters of fishing
vessels, issued by the Gable Company
will have general interest:
In order to avoid the danger of losing
their tackle. and also of damaging the
cables of this company, captains are re
ouested to give them a wide berth
Should any vessel, however, lose her an
Choir or tackle by reason OF coming IN
contact with the telegraph cable, and
will use every endeavor to save the same
from damage the company will-subject
to immediate notice being given at either
of the companys' stations named below
and full information furnished of the Cir
cumstances-reimbu rse the loss, subject
to adjustment, upon being satisfied of
the bonafiGes of The claim. The directors
in adopting this course confidently be-
lieve that masters OF vessels will do every
thing i'll their power to protect the cables
from injury.
AS means of verifcation and to en-.
able the tackle to be cleared from the
cable by the company's repairing ship, if
considered necessary, it is important
