Has Plenty Of Geld and BeBH HeFd -
Go Hack 60 His Country.
The king, when he knew he was going
to be deported from his country, X
pressed his intention to commit suicide
rather than suffer such an indignity.
He had threatened to jump into the
sea, but was well guarded when taken
to the ship, and he made no attempt to
take his life. Once Oh board the steam
err he was very quiet and made himself
comfortable. His interpreter said the
king was not aware that 9 steamship
was SO large and that people could
be made so comfortable on board He
took great interest in the fittings Of
the vessel and particularly in the ems
gines and electric light.
Prempeh begged hard to be allowed to
go back to his country aud promised
never to do anything against the Eng
fish, or, as he expressed it, against the
'Great White Queen He had no idea
that the white men could do such great
things as they did.
In speaking of this he said he now
believed the white man could bring
the top to the bottom, meaning that he
could bring down the sky to touch the
earth. He said he was sure, Il he gct
back to his country. he would be very
obedient and would make everybody
open up the country to British trade
He was also willing to pay the indems
nifty the British wanted. The king and
his people were in charge Of a superin-
tendent of civil police, with a HOUSES
sergeant and six Houssas.
One Of the chiefs gave it ont that there
was plenty Of gold buried in Coomas-
sic, but it could never be found, he said,
except by themselves. They certain
" had plenty of gold with them.
The king went ashore at Sierra Leone
in a most gorgeous costume. The gold
ornaments, anllets, bracelets and other
articles displayed abont him were esti-
mated to be worth $1,000. BE also
wore a number of charms, the chief of
these being suspended round his neck.
Probably for the first time in his life
he wore trousers. These were of yell
low brocaded satin. A white and blue
mantle-like cloth was thrown over his
shoulders, and he wore leather sandals.
He was very cheerful on board the
steamer and seemed sorry to leave it.
A house has been appointed for the
residence of the late king and his fol-
lowers in Freetown. 1t is understood
that he will have more freedom thanhe
had in Elmina, but he will be under the
daily observation of the authorities.
Prempeh was received at Sierra Leone
by the Inspector of police and conveyed
to his new quarters, a very large house.
Little notice was taken of the king on
his arrival at Freetown.
Altogether there were about so peo-
pie in the party. King Prempeh while
on the BAHAMA showed he appreciated
good wines, but his preference was de-

A SEA ABOVE THE CLOUDS.

Extraordinary Superstition Once
Prevalent in England.
The curious superstition that there
is an ocean above the clouds is illus
trated by the following strange story,
by an old English writer: "One Sunday
the people Of a certain village we're com
ing out of church on a thick, cloudy
day, when they saw the anchor of a
ship hooked to one of the tombstones-
the cable, which was tightly stretched,
hanging down flum the air. The peo-
pie were astonished; and while they
were consulting about it, suddenly they
saw the rope move as though some one
labored to pull up the anchor. The an
chor, however, still held fast by the
stone, and a great noise was heard in
the air, like the shouting of sailors.
Presently a sailor was seen sliding
down the cable for the purpose Of un-
fixing the anchor. When he had just
loosened it the villagers seized hold of
him, and while in their hands he quick
ly died, just as though he had been
drowned. About an hour after, the
sailors above, hearing no more of their
comrade, cut the cable and sailed
away. In memory Of this extraordinary
event, the people of the village made
the hinges of the church doors out of
the iron of the anchor" 1t is further
stated that these hinges, 'are still to
be seen there;" a bit of evidence much
like Munchausen's rope wherewith he
ono climbed to the moor. If you
doubted the story, you were confronted
with the rope.
There is another queer tale about
this aerial ocean. "A merchant of Bris-
;ol," it is said, sset sail with his cargo
for ireland. Some time after, while
his family were at supper, a knife sud-
denly fell in. through a window, on the
table. When the merchant returned
and saw the knife, he declared it to be
his own, and said that on such a day, at
such an hour, while sailing in an un-
known part Of the sea-, he dropped the
knife overheard; and the day and the
hour were found to be exactly the time
when it fell through the window" All
of which was once implicitly believed
by many, and regarded as incontrovert-
ible proof of the existence of sea above
the sky. One is at a loss to conjecture
how that unknown part of the sea"
connected with the rest of it. A
physical geography showing this would
be no small curiosity.-Boston Post

Ca HAs MOVED.

Acquiring Information Concerning
Methods Of COLLECTING a Bill.
@When we moved into the country"
said Mr.. Changeofair, 81 almost won
dered at the absolute confidence of Che
boss Of the moving party. TWAS along
haul, two or three vans, and the bill a
matter Of $40 or $50, but they moved
everything out Of the vans into the
house, clean, before the boss driver pre-
sented the bill. l wondered what they
would do if somebody should say then
that he would call at the office and set
tie, or something of that sort. But then
i knew / was going to pay, that it had
been perfectly safe to get the stuff In
and collect the bill aftervard of me, and
made up my mind that they were keen
men. who knew people when they met
them whom they could trust, and whom
mot.
aWell, after some years we moved
back. Same concern moved us l. but
they didn't know us at the Office any
more than if they had never heard of
ms. Arrived in the city the men with
the vans-it was a different crew from
that that took us out-began Juggling
in the things just as the men that moved
us out had done in the country. Nobody
said anything about pay, and 1 won
dered again what would happen if they
got the stuff all in and then the owner
didn't pay. But they kept on hustling
the things in just as if they felt per
fectly easy and cur about that.
"After awhile the stuff was pretty
much all in, practically all but the piano,
and L wondered why they hadn't
brought that in before, because / had
seer it loaded and I knew it was one of
the last things loaded on at the very
rear end OF one of the vans. So 1 went
out to see, and there was the piano,
right where l had seen it when it vas
put aboard, at the extreme rear end of
the van, while all the stuff in front had
been taken out, carried around the end
of the piano and on into the house; in
front of it the van was empty.
passing through the hall 1 met the
head driver, the boss of the party, and
he, just casually meeting me in that
way in the hall, handed over the bill
for the moving, and ] paid ton the spot
Then, everything else having been
moved in, the whole gang tailed onto
the piano and walked it right into the
house.
-Of course, it may have only just hap.
pened that the piano wasn't moved il
until I had paid the bill; but this didn't
give me quite such a fattering opinion
of myself as the other way had, but il
more than confirmed my original opin
ion of the shrewdnsss and ability of the
van folks. They made few mistakes
and took even fewer risks."-N. Y. Sun
