GOLD-FEvER DAYS.
Adventures of the ArgOnauts Who Set Ont
from New Albany, Ind.

Adventures of the ArgOnauts Who Set Ont
from New Albany, Ind.
A curious bit of the gold-fever times
of 40 is recalled by the venerable Will
liam Fogg, who is well known all over
the state as an old-time banker. Mr..
Fogg at the time was clerk on one of
the steamboats, plying out of New Al
bany, for that city was then a great
steamboat building and owning center,
and Indiana had the honor of owning
some of the finest vessels afoat, says
the Indianapolis News.
New Albany had the gold fever bad
ly, and it ran so high finally that five
hundred men, mostly young, banded
themselves together and prepared to go
to the newly-found Eldorado. They
built their wagon beds in the shape of
tightly-eaulked skiffs, so as to enable
them to ford any stream without diff
Guilty. This occupied quite considera-
bic while, but at last they were ready
to start. The boat they had chartered
to take them to st. Joe, Mo-, was ready
and they bade farewell On the day of
their departure New Albany, by com.
mon consent, made grand holiday.
Every factory, store and business
house was closed, and cannon fired at
sunrise to announce the event. Friends
and acquaintances marched with the
adventurers to the boat, and it was
mora as if an army went to battle than
9nything else. Bat the strange thing
was, that in that crowd of young men
there was an olG.man, named William
Benton, aged sixty-fve, whom every
body had tried TO dissuado from going,
and whom, everybody believed, would
leave his bones withering upon the
plains.
A couple Of years rolled around and
the survivors who could get back, or
were still alive. began to return.
Among them was Benton, and, strange
ly enough, he was the only one of all
that crowd who had anassed fortune.
He did it 10y teaming.

CURIOUS FUNERAL RITES.
A Greek Archbishop Carried to the Tomb
Ia Chair.


The death Of the Greek archbishop of
Corfu, which took place afew days back,
afforded an opportunity Of witnessing
the curious funeral rites accorded by
the Greek church to so exalted an &C.
clesiastic.
The archbishop was an old man, and
his death was not unexpected, says the
New York Journal For more than q
month the cathedral had been pre-,
pared for his sitting in state" The
breath was hardly out of his body
when the corpse was dressed in episco-
pal robes, and, without being embalmed,
taken to the cathedral and placed in
golden armchair, surrounded with
lighted tapers, with the miter in one
hand and the Gospel in the other. The
populace thronged to the church to
view the body and to kiss the arch
bishops hand. The priest desired to
keep the body there for three days, but
the authorities had to interfere for the
benefit of the public health. The
funeral was accordingly arranged for
the second day. The church bells
tolled continuously, the theater and
shops were closed, flags were hung at
half mast and the street lamps lighted
and draped with Grape. The whole of
the inhabitants, however, treated the
occasion as fete day, and
appeared 10 their gayest clothes The
! funeral procession started from the
cathedral at half-past eight in the
morning Three standard bearers with
church standards flying preceded it,
followed by about a dozen church
beadles holding lighted gilded lanterns.
Next came three town bands playing a
funeral march; then boys carrying ar
tifcial wreaths. Thirty-fve priests fol-
lowed on each side, and an officer of
the army holding a cushion with the
. Greek cross of the Saviour and the Rus
sian grand crosses of st. Anne. Then
came the corpse tied to the armchair
still holding the miter and gospel
carried by priests in gorgeous vest
ments, with the chief Greek of
iicials taking the place of pall-bear-

ers The men of the garrison, includ
ing the mounted battery and the crew
of Greek ironclad, brought up the
rear. On arrival at the cemetery the
body was taken into the church, and
from there to the grave, which was like
a small room. A stone chair had beer
built in the middle, on which the
corpse was seated, and a hanging oil
lamp was arranged from the arcf
above. When the body was lowered
and some earth thrown in, a salute o
twenty-one guns was fired from the
fort, as well as three volleys of mus
kerry over the grave. The banos ther
returned playing opera airs.

TO THE INTEREST OF BOTH.
A Piece OF African DesPOtism That Pre-,
vents OyerchargIng.


Kabarera, the negro king of Unyoro,
in Central Africa. is q man who rules
his subjects with a rod Of iron. Like
all tyrants. he regulates their smallest
actions, and a host of spies inform
him of any disobedience to his COM
mands.
Among other things he has made a
fixed tariff of prices for everything
bought or sold in his country, and
every deviation from it severely pun
ished. An instance of this is given by
Vita Hassan in his book about Emin
Pasha and the Equatorial Province.
About a month after his arrival in
Unyoro, he bought fowl and paid
thirty cowries for it, while the market
price was only twenty-five. In that
part of Africa it takes about two hum
dred and fifty cowries to make dol,
lar. Soon afterward a dragoman of
the king appeared and brought back
five cowries with the message:
"a fowl costs only twenty-five cow
ries, while you have given thirty. The
seller has done wrong, and the king
will punish him; but he sends to you
the advice to'be careful henceforth in
your purchases never to give for any
thing more than it is worth, first of all
in your own interest, and, next to this,
in order not to disturb the market"

Classification of Bats.

Most curious in origin of all noe
turnal insect hunters are the leather
winged bats, which may be regarded,
practically speaking, as very tiny
monkeys, highly specialized for tho
task of catching nocturnal flies and
midges, Few people know how nearly
they are related to us. They belong to-
the self-same division of the higher
mammals as man and the apes; theip
skeleton answers to ours, bone for
bone and joint for joint, in an ordinary
manner; only the unessentiai fact that
they have very long fingers with web
between as an organ of flight prevents.
us from instantly and instinctively
recognizing them as remote cousins,
once removed from the gorilla, The
female bat in particular is absurdly
human. Most of them feed off insects
alone, but few, like the famous vam-
pire bats of South America, take D
mean advantage of sleeping animals.

of mosquitoes, as they lie defenseless.
in the forest or on the open pampas.
Others, like the flying foxes of the
Malay archipelago, make a frugal
meal of fruits and vegetables; bute
these are persistent night flyers. They
hang head downward from the boughs
of trees during the hot tropical day
time, but sally forth at night to rob.
the banana patches and invade the
plantain grounds of the Industrious
native. The bat is lemur, compelled
by dire necessity to become flying
night bird.
TeIegraphing with Steam Whistle.
While Edison then boy, was living,
in Port Huron, he found one Of those
opportunities to distinguish himself
that seem to be always falling in the
wav of some men. The anecdote is re-
lated in ''The Life and Inventions of
Edison" recently published. 1t was.
near the end of an exceptionally severe,
winter, and the ice had formed in such
masses as to sever the cable between
Port Huron and the Canadian city OF
Sarnia. The river, mile and half
wide, was impossible, and multitudes
of people were greatly inconvenieneed.
Edison, who had just learned to tel
egraph saw a way out of the difficulty.
Jumping upon a railway engine, he be-
gan to whistle in the rhythmic cadences
of the Morse alphabet: "Hullo, Sarnla!
Sarnia, do you get what l say?" No an
swer. Again and again the short and
the long toots shaped themselves into
the dots and dashes of telegraphy, and.
finally some one ON the other side be-
came alive to their meaning. The an
swer came back, clear and eheery, and
communication between the two cities
was resumed

How Much Is He Horth9

OF all current questions, this is the
one most frequently asked. 1t is, in
fact, the great question of the day. No
body to speak of inquiries: SIS he hon
est?" 'Is he patrioticF Every body
puts the query: "What is be wopth?"
Money is not merely the commercial
standard of value, but too often the cri-
terion Of social position and the touch
stone Of character.

Miss wilkins New story.
(From the Boston journal.

Miss Wilkins has made departure
in publishing another story of New
England village life without first issu-
ing it serially. 1t is a story of Madelon
Hautville. who, though young and
womanly, stabs man who accosts her
in the road while she is returning from
a village dance at night. 1t proves to
be Lot Gordon, who loves her. While
she is leaning over him, Mortified by
her deed, his cousin, Burr Gordon,
whom she loves, appears. The sit
uation is certainly more like that of a
dime novel than like picture Of rural
New England ways, but the treatment
relieves it of any coarseness.
Burr Gordon replaces the knife in
the wound with his own hand, and is
arrested for the crime On the next
day Madelon announces his innocence
and her own guilt. She is believed to
be crazy and cannot induce Lot to say
she committed the crime. She ar
ranges TO marry Lot on condition that
he shall say the words which will free
his cousin from prison. The conscience
stricken Lot absolves Madelon from the
promise and commits suicide, an she
is in the end married to Burr, whose
previously intended bride scorns him
as murderer.
The novel is an exciting and thrill
ing story. We must admit that as we
read it, some Of the incidents seemed
highly improbable. The act Of Mad
elon's brother, who made her take his
big knife as protection on her walk
home, seemed dragged into the story
to pare for something which had To
be worked in some way, although il
was unnatural. Would a brother do
such thing or would young girl re
fuse escort, and walk out into the
dark and stab man who kissed her:
Still, leaving aside the somewhat
forced incidents there is much which
is excellent in the work. The CONVEX
sation between Madelon and Dorothy
Fair in which TIE former pleads her
)wn guilt is striking and tragic bit
