An Earthquake Year.

This will be known as an
earthquake year No great catas-
trophe has occurred in scouse>
quenCe of the terrene commissions
but they have been strangely
frequent We hear Of them in
Canada, III the South, in Mexico
in Italy, in India, and We know
that in japan and the East Indies
the earth's surface is normally
agitated, SO that the people dc
not get their nights rest if the
trenor DUETS down. In that case
it is like the stopping of the
screw On an, ocean steamer: it
wakes everybody up. The worst
damage that has been accom-
plish d is in Calcutta. This city
appears to have suffered as great
ly and much in the same way
as Charleston Brooklyn Eagle

lieutenant.
Like an angry lion that is des
feated in his object, blackboard
gathered all his native forces
together and made final lunge
at Maynard, The young man
saw the glare of his opponents
ewes, and knew that that moment
was the most critical of his life.
He did not cringe, however, but
met the pirate in the full career
of his onslaught. The blow OF
the freebooter was successfully
parried and Blackboard stagGcr>
ed. Before he could recover
himself, Maynard's knife had
found his vitals, and the great
corsair fell dead upon the deck.
BY this time all the pirates
who had boarded the vessel were
dead except seven. They begged
for mercy and obtained it. May
nard and his gallant crew then
boarded the pirate vessel and
forced the remainder Of the band
to submit just as burly negro
was about to cast a hrebrand ms
to the magazine of powder to
blow up the ship. The negro
was seized and the catastrophe
averted. The living members OF
the band, thirteen in all, were
bound and confined as prisoners
in the hold.
Maynard ordered Blackboard S
head to be cut from his shoulders.
He had the ghastly object placed
upon the bowsprit of his vessel,
and with it sailed up to Bath.
| While there he received the con
gratulations of many people who
came to see the head of the man
Who had terrorized North Caro-
lima waters SO long. After a short
stay he sailed away to report at
Williamsburg, where he was re-
ceived with great honor by Coy
ernor Spotswood and the coun-
Gil Of state. The thirteen prison
ers were shortly afterwards ar
) raigned before the court Of the
) province of Virginia and given
a tair trial. They were all con-
victed and hanged. In the prog
ress OF the trial evidence was
: taken from one man relative to
the finding of the French ship
mentioned i'll former paragraph
of this article He described how
the boat was boarded, her crew
put to death and the prize secur-
ed. Blackboard, however, was
) beyond human punishment.
Thus the southern colonies were
rid of a band of outlaws that had
exacted tribute from nearly all
nations for thirty years.
1t has been often said that
Blackboard and his gang buried
quantities OF gold and silver at
different places along the shores
of Pamlico river and sound.
Man. people have been SO foolish
as to dig for these hidden treas
ures with the hope of attaining
sudden wealth. The traveller
along those localities often sees
excavations which are said to
show the continued exertions of
the money diggers. This is a
waste of time, for it is not at all
probable that Teach ever buried
any money; or if he did resort to
that method of concealment, it is
very unlikely that it remained
buried after his death. He had
adherents upon land who assists
| ed i'll the concealment of his
stolen gains. AS soon as Teach S
death became known these land
adherents made a division of tn e
treasure in their hands, and dug
up what was hidden, as was nat
ural for them to do.

Is A Crab A Bug Or Ar Animal?

At present the Calcutta courts
have a very curious case to de-
eide. A hshe1woman having
been arrested for breaking the
claws of a crab to show her Gus
toners the quality of the meat,
was brought before the court,
and her defense pleaded that as
a crab was not an animal it
could not come under the law
for the prevention of cruelty to
animals. AS the creature can
hardly be called vegetable or a
mineral, the awful responsibility
may develope upon the Calcutta
judge of creating a new king
dom, under which to arrange the
great moliusk family.
There is more Catarrh in this
section of the country then all
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pro-
nounced it a local disease, and
prescribed local remedies, and by
constantly failing to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it
incurable. Science has proven
catarrh to be'a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls

Lonr-DIstnnce Riding.

For riding long distances, the great
secret is-lseep an even, steady pace,
and cut down the stops. Order your
meals to be ready beforehand, if possi-
bic, and avoid strictly any unnecessary
delays on the way, such as stops for
altering the position of saddle or
handles, which should be placed abso-
lutely right before starting, dismount-
ing to ask the way-which ought to
have been made perfectly familiar by
previous riding over the whole course,
part at time-or pauses to extract
small eatables, etc., from bag-all
things that may be wanted should be
carried in light basket fixed upright
on carrier, and easily unfastened with
one hand while riding, says the Irish
Cyclist. The comfort and ease of a long
ride depends immensely on the proper
management of such small details as
| the above.

rHE suspENpER SIGN.
One wny of Telling That Man IL
Ceffiuu Old.


Getting Old.
"There are many signs indicating
that old age is coming on a man." re-
marked an aged gentleman to Wash
ington Star reporter, "but one of the
surest is when he finds that his sus-
penders have q way of slipping off the
shoulders. At first he thinks there is
something wrong with the suspenders,
and he tries to remedy it by tighten
ing them up. For awhile this cures
the trouble, but IN little while there
is more slipping and he gets a new pair
of suspenders. Even they slip off and
make him feel uncomfortable. After
awhile he discovers the trouble is not
with the suspenders but with himself.
AS years roll on a man he gets more
and more round shouldered, and unless
he has his suspenders braced up by
connecting them with band behind
the shoulders he cannot keep them up.
l remember, some years ago, hearing
two very prominent men speaking OF
the fact that they were getting old.
One of them was at the time vice presi-
dent of the United States and the other
was a leading senator. What makes
you think you are growing old@ one
of them asked of the other. I found
it out was the reply, AS soon as I dis
covered that my suspenders would not
stay up That has been my experience
also,' came from the questioner. Neith-
er of the gentlemen referred to had yet
reached his seventieth year, but they
had both discovered they were growing
old by the same incident in their lives.
l have never known it to fail. After
o man reaches sixty his shoulders grow
round steadily, and by the time he is
seventy-five his shoulders have lost all
their original size and formation"
