A Story of Dickens,

When I was a girl Of about 1G
years Of age, says one of tho oldest
lnha bitants Of Broadstairs, during q
dreadful winter I was sent by my
parents, who were very poor, to
Ramsgate to buy myself a pair OF
strong winter boots. On my way
home the cold was intense, and,
holding the parcel close to me, I
found, when nearly at my journey $
end, that the boots had slipped out
Of the parcel and that / only held
the brown paper in my hands.
With my heart in my mouth,
ran back by the way I had come,
and, meeting a man whom I had
passed some time previously, asked
him if he had seen the boots, and
he answered, very gruf1y, "No"
Continuing my search, I met a
man in a dogcart, who inquired
what was the hurry. I told him Of
my loss. After telling him all my
story, he told me to jump up with
MIN, ana soon we overlook the man
whom ! had met before. My good
Samaritan interrogated him very
closely, and eventually it TUNED out
that he had picked them up.
Charles Dickens-for it was he
who had befriended me-then said
to him, IF you had been an honest
man, I should have rewarded you,
but as you are not a good horse
whipping is what you deserve. He
then turned and asked me if I had
heard ct Charles Dickens, to which
I answered No" Then, smiling
upon me, he said, "You will hear of
Charles Dickens one Of these days,
and you will then be able to tell
how he did kind action once in his
life. scotsman.

Indian Professional Dyers.

The number OF professional dyers
in India is fast diminishing. Aniline
dyes and cheap European goods arc
killing thcir trade. They are being
compelled to turn their attention to
new handicrafts, just as French
competition and the vagaries of
fashion caused the ribbon makers
Of Coventry to seek new livelihood
in the manufacture Of bicycles. Ami
line dyes have made every man lis
own dyer. Formerly the comp]i
Gated processes by which Indigenous
dyes were prepared made the dyer
specialist. -..=
Nowadays anybody can dissolve
the chemical powders sent out from
Europe and color his own clothes.
The aniline dyes are more brilliant,
and, to the native, they have the
superlative merit Of cheapness.
They are not SO fast, and they lack
the delicacy Of color which, Judging
by the specimens annexed to the
monograph, distinguish the Indian
dyes, but their gaudiness makes
them more popular and SO the fate
of the native dyer is scaled. Silk
dyeing, cotton dyeing, and carpet
dyeing are all declining. The fault,
it should be added, is to some extent
due to the conservatism Of the ma
tive dyers themselves. They persist
emily adhere to their crude methods
Of preparing their dyes, and show
lamentable lack Of ingenuity in pre-
pairing new designs. ns.-Bengal Gov

A Struggle For q Hat.

A struggle between lady and
gentleman for the possession Of a
hat was witnessed in Genoa not long
since. 1t was no ordinary hat, for
it had graced the head of Giuseppe
Verdi. That was why neither of the
combata2lts was willing to give up
the treasure to the other. A Roman
correspondent of The Musical Rec
ord explains how the hat came to be
in a railway station in Genoa.
Verdi had stepped from an incom-
ing train at a time when Marquis
di Rudini, the Italian premier, was
in the station. The marquis recog-
nized the musician, and requested
the station master to introduce him.
He greeted Verdi warmly, congrat-
ulated him on his fine health, and
wished him many more years of
life. He said he had never felt as
happy as he did that day in repre-
senting all Italy.
After taking leave Of the premier
Verdi went to the station buffet,
and on returning to his train forgot
his hat. This was an opportunity
not to be lost by two admirers of
the musician. They had boen watch
ing him long and now they stimuli
taneously sprang for the hat Both
reached it at once, one seizing one
side of the brim and the other the
opposite. A lively combat ensued,
and the two swayed backward and
forward in their desire to retain the
treasure. The lady came off vic
torious. "Ah!" she exclaimed tri-
umphantly. Nov I've got it, and I
intend to keep it!'
Her surprise was only equaled by

Expansion of Solids by Heat.

The expansion Of solids by heat is
exemp]itied in the following cases:
A glass stopper sticking fast in the
neck Of bottle often may be re-
leased by surrounding the neck with
a cloth taken out of warm water or
by immersing the bottle in warm
water up to the neck. The binding
ring is thus heated and expanded
sooner than the stopper, and 50 be-
comes slack or loose upon it.
In an iron railing, gate, which
during a cold day may be loose and
easily shut and opened in a warm
day may stick, owing to there being
greater expansion Of it and of the
neighboring railing than of the
earth on which they are placed.
The iron pillars now SO much used
to support the front walls, Of which
the ground stories serve as shops
with spacious windows, III warm
weather really lift up the wall which
rests upon the1n and in cold weather
allow it again to sink or subside.
The pitch Of pianoforte or harp
is lowered on warm day or in
warm room, owing to the expansion
OF the strings being greater than of
the wooden frame work, and in cold
the reverse will happen. A harp or
piano which is well tuned in morn
ing drawing room cannot be perfect
ly in tune when the crowded even
ing party has heated the room.-

The Grave Cure.

A celebrated physician divides:
fruit into five classes, each possess
ing a special curative value-the
acid, the sweet, the astringent, the
oily and the mealy.
Cherries, Strawberries, raspber-
RIGS, gooseberries, peaches, apples
lemons and oranges belong to the
acid fruits and have great merit.
Cherries, however, are prohibited
to those who have neuralgia Of the
stomach; strawberries and raspber-
ries are recommended to those Of
bilious temperaments and denied to
those in whom diabetes is suspected.
Of the sweet fruits the doctor
says plums prevent gout and articu-
lar rheumatism. The grape is given
the very first place. He is an
enthusiastic advocate of what is
known in Europe as the grape
cure, which provides that for sew
eral days the patient eats nothing
but grapes, consuming from one to
two pounds daily, with a gradual
increase to ten pounds. After a few
days Of this diet the appetite i'm
proves and an increased capacity to
endure fatigue IS noticed The
grape cure is especially suited to
persons who are anemic, rheumat-
ic, dyspeptic or consumptive.

Of cod liver oil. The skin after being
dried takes the polish and hardness

incline distance of 60 feet, and it
moved almost inch by inch. Some
times the schooner gained, some
times she stood still, and we expect
ed to see the sails fly away or tho
masts go overheard. Everything
held, however, and at the end of an
hour the hulk was SO far up the
beach that she would be entirely
clear at low tide.
We secured her in that position
and felt that the heaviest part of
our work was accomplished. Next
day we ran the schooner around
through an opening in the reef and
into small bay, to be left to care
for herself, and set up camp close
by the hulk.
We began work on the wreck by
clearing away the shells from her
starboard side and boring half a
dozen auger holes to drain the water
out. She must have been und er
water for 30 or 40 years to take on
such an armor as she had. In some
places it was quite two feet thick and
as tough as iron. On the level decks
it was thicker than on the sides, and
we put in two full days work be
fore we had them cleared.
It was not until we had the main
hatch off and saw that the craft
was in ballast only that we entered
the cabin. There was two feet or
more of mud and sand on the floor,
and shells and grasses had attached
themselves everywhere. 1t was only
small cabin, with three berths for
officers, and nothing OF value was
discovered. The between decks had
been fitted up for the mems quar-
ters, and here we found evidences of
what the hulk had been in other
days.
There were quarters for at least
so men, and we found cutlasses and
pistols and muskets galore, OF at
least the rusting remains. In the
sand on the floor we found skulls

JOSEPH JEFFERSON HONORS Will
MINGTON.
Americas greatest comedian, Joseph
Jefferson, rendered the ever-popular
rip Van Wrinkle" to a packed house
last night at the Grand Opera House.
That he has not lost to the slightest de-
gree his hold on theatre-goers, nOtwith-
standing that he is 20 years old was
evidentfrOm the rOusingwelcome he re-
ceived at their hands
as The applause was so great that he
had to promise that he would address
them after the performance, and every
one in the audience stayed to listen TO
him. Mr.. Jefferson came before the
curtain at the end of the last act, still
in his makeup as Rip, and said that
the city of Wilmington had a great
charm for him, and the reason for this
attachment to 1t was the fact that his
father was manager OF a Whining
ton theatre when the speaker was
a small boy. Sixty years ago he acted
in juvenile paris before the citizens OF
Wilmington, as while his father was
manager OF the house he was called
upon to play juvenile, or baby parts,
as they were then called, whenever one
was needed. In speaking of whining
ton he said that he told his son to-day
as they were coming into the city on
the train to keep look out for an old
building that he remembered when a
boy. That building was Old Swedes'
Church. He said that he expected that
the old church was completely gone
out Of existence, as he recollected it as
an old, dilapidated structure. But he
noticed that 1t had been repaired and
put in good condition, and he likened
the church to himself by saying that he
was repaired, or else he would not be
able at his age to still continue on the
stage. In reference to his rtiring from
the stage he said that he should not
retire as long as he kept his health ant

LETTERS FROM The PEOPLE
IRELAND.

To the Editor or the Evening Journal.
Sir: There is an island not 5000
miles away from London where war
does not exist, and where, neverthe-
less, men, women and children at this
moment are enduring sufferings as
great and as horrible as any recorded in
our consular reports from Cuba. But
not one word does official England ut
ter about the terrible scenes enacted
in Ireland. Nay, more, every effort Is
made to keep from the outside W Id
the fact that in time of profound p-- le,
in the most fertile land the sun shines
upon, people are dying from the want
Of food, but there is no attention of
Parliament to a state of things trace
able to English misrule. The English
members Of Parliament, prefer to
arouse sympathy for Cubans, who, by
having recourse to arms for redress Of
grievances, are themselves in a large
measure responsible for the calamitous
condition of Cuba. Many members
of the House of Commons and Of the
House Of Lords, who will shed crocc-
die tears over the sufferings or the
| Cubans, are literally coming money
from the accursed system OF Irish land
| lordism, that on more than one occa-
| sion has made of Ireland a veritable
/ charneI house. OF the evil results OF
/ that perniciOus system which is but
tressed by the English government, the
world seldom hears 'MagnanimOus"
/ England, that pretends to be shocked
| by the temporary condition OF Cuba,
\ which is the inevitable result Of armed
| hostilities, takes good care to conceal
| from the world the chronic state OF
| Ireland. She tries her utmost, to
smother the groans Of dying children,
| literally starved to death-little ones
| whose lives are sacrificed to the ty-
| ranny and despOtic power of landlord
ism. She extends no helping hand to
| those innocent victims of English rule
On the contrary, she insists that the
robbery shall continue, which has made
the slaughter of the innocent possible
/ and all the time she is doing this she
has the brazen effrOntery to arraign
Spain for not conducting war in Cuba
with rose water methods. The two
words plunder and famine sum uI
/ truthfully and without eXaggeratiOr
/ the present situation in Ireland. 1t is
| through no visitation of Providence
| that there are at this time thousands
| Of the Irish people in want of food
There was no lack of the bounties Of
| Providence last year except partia
failure of the potato crop, and that o
itself cOuld not and would not have
caused famine or distress. Ireland pro
duces other food. and more OF 4
than potatoes, and every year it pro
duces far more than enough to feeC

live in another country, and one-fourth

equal sum, $12,500,000, is carried off

more or less OF war drama. SO far
as clashing saIbres and rafting mus
