A Crew of Deaf AIutes.

The schooner Mary and Belle is prob ably the only vessel in the world that is manned by crew that is deaf and dumb. The schooner is not a large vessel by any means, being about seventy feet long, but she is a neat looking craft and her decks, spars and rigging look in much better condition than those of many other vessels whose crews can speak the language to the queens taste. The captain of this craft, George Bennett, is a most intel ligent-looking man, apparently fifty years old. He is alive to all that is go- ing on around him and seems to enjoy his silent and speeches. life. The "crew," Charlie Malone, is also deaf and dumb. These two deaf and dumb men manage the stanch schooner Mary and Belle admira bly,. They are always on the lockout and sleep with one eye open, as good sailors always should. When they are caught in heavy squalls the captain cannot shriek out his commands but simply at tracts his mans attention by whistle and then tells him what he wants by signs, while he sticks to the wheel

Wrong Idea About Experience of Sales
 men Always on the Go.
 People who do not travel are in the habit of speaking of the lives of travel ing men as full of pleasurable excite ment. The travelling men say that it is almost unbcarably monotonous, says the Atlanta Constitution.
 q travel the entire south, from Wash ington to Texas" said travelling man to me the other day, "and am con stantly on the rail, and the monotony of it is making me grow old before my time. l have a pretty large territory, but would you believe it if 1 told you that I can wake pp at any hour of the night, no matter where 1 am, pull back the curtain of the sleeper, and tell what place the train IS approaching? l know the country so well. The dreary 1nonotony robs it of novelty or interest. I have been over the ground so often that believe I know every forest, ev- cry cotton patch and every crossroad on the entire circuit. The only compensa- tion that travelling man has in social way is in the fact that he meets people in every city that he visits and wher- ever he goes he finds friends. But he is off and away before he has time to enjoy their society. No, it's a big mis- take; the travelling mans life is fright fully lonely and monotonous."

PARDONlED FROM PRISON.

George Washington Root got some benefit from his name yesterday, for on the natal day of his great name sake was he pardoned from the peni- ltentiary, where he had been confined for manslaughter. His crime was the killing of San Francisco. millionaire, Richard Ferrall, in Nogales in '91. The circumstances were such as to make sympathy for Root and his sentence was light. It would have expired in another year. He is 70 years old, and has been faithful worker at the pris- on and insane asylum, where he has been employed under parole.

It Is Manifested in the Most Ordinary

 The gift of the Irish peasant for making expressive and humorous phrases is not by any means fiction of literature. The use of pat" phrases is natural to him.
 4 clerical traveller in Cavan not long ago asked a peasant how far it was to a certain village and was answered.: 1.-Two miles,"
 What! Only two miles?" said the traveller, who had before traversed the distance and found it long road.
 ''Well, your reverence" answered the peasant, ''it is two miles shtrong and rich, so to spake!"
 A somewhat similar story is told by one of Lord Zetiand's party, who were making inquiries into the condition of distressed district. They were cross ing lake; a gale was blowing and waves were flashing over the boat.
 The gentleman referred to had been assured that an Irish peasant, if treated well, will always agree with what is said to him rather than appear disagree able. It struck the gentleman that here was a good chance to put the assertion to the proof.
 'There is very little wind, Pat," he said to one of the boatmen.
 The answer came through the howl ing of the elements:
