a stir of their arms, letting the butts
of their guns fall, and there was a bit
of silence.

people were in possession" I heard
Towland then, in surly and vexed
tone, reply. Nevertheless" he went

and could see by the wrinkling of his
side face that he was smiling-"I can
not recall that there is any rule against
boiling and barring. Suppose one
were intent on the capture of a slave,
for instance, must he needs let every
body in while he is about it? Slaves,
you are aware, are not common spoil,
as are goods and money"
NAY, this is all idle talk and away
from the purpose!" said Towland, i'm
patiently. "Open the door, and be
speedy about it, or the business will
reach further than words!"

Democrats should not now determine

serpents and more harmless even than
doves. Let them wait and possess their

l thought, 1--WE will not be cozened.

A THOUGHT OF REST.

In the white mansions of our God
Are the pleasures sweet and fair:
No soul that bows beneath the rod
Hath ever Borrowing there.
Each gale breat hes balm" and all the lost
No moreno more are tempeSt-tossed.
In the white mansions Of our God
We miss the souls despair;
Lilies that wither on earth's sod
Bloom in rare beauty there.
And pleasant there, to all our feet,
Are paths that lead to waters sweet
In the white mansions of our God
Are lights that eadfaSt beam.
Weary of all the way we've trod
Well lay US down to dream.
To dream dear dreams of peace and rest
Like children on a mothers breast.

LIKEWISE OF a DREADFUL DIS
COVERY.
''Senor," interposed Dona Carmen,
sit may be that l have thought of
something. My house is on the island
of Taboga. which is out yonder in the
bay. Could we reach it we might hide
in a certain wine cellar, which am al

mand of her wits n such a time. But
I fear your plan would not serve. For
one thing, where would you obtain a
boat? Our men must have seized them

She fa1tered moment. but again
her wonderful dark eyes lighted, and
she answered eagerly:
But the fisher village? 1 conceive
there must be boats there. 1t is above
half league from here, and 1 am sure
your bands have not gone so far. More

The Complaining Earl of Sussex Was
Given a Most ExtraOrdi-
nary Privilege.

To the earl of Sussex was granted
the privilege of wearing a nightcap in
the royal presence of Queen Mary. The
fact is mentioned in Miss Strickland's
Lives of the Queens of England" as
being one of the odd rewards bestowed
by Mary upon her friends after her &C
cession.
The earl was valetudinarian, and
had a great fear of uncovering his
head. Considering, therefore, that the
colds he dreaded respected no person.
he petitioned Queen Mary for leave TO
wear a nightcap in her presence.
The queen not only gave him leave to
wear one, but two nightcaps if he
pleased. His patent for this privilege
is unique in royal annals.
''Know ye that we grant to our we'll
beloved and trusty cousin and coun-
cilor, Henry, earl OF Sussex. license and
pardon to wear his cap. Golf or night
cap, or any two of them at his pleas
ure, as we'll in our presence as in the
presence of any other person within
this realm, or in any other place in our
dominions whatsoever during his life,
and these our letters shall be sufficient
warrant in his behalf"
The queens seal, with the garter
above it. was affixed to this singular
grant.
Three persons in Great Britain alone
enjoy the privilege of remaining COW
cred in the royal overwhelmingly.
Lord Forester, Lord Kinsale and the
master of Trinity college, Cambridge.

CHURCH SINGERS

There are about 1000 churches i'm
New York. OF this number about
three-fourths hire singers. The total
number which they employ is not far
from 5000. Fully 1000 of these are
re-engaged each year SO that the
5000 singers who flock during Decem-
Der and January have not far from
l'OoO places open to them. \ large
proportion of those who come seeking
positions cannot read music. The
salary for the comparative few who
can read notes is enhanced. One deal
err says he rejects three out of four
who apply to him. About 1000 apply.
The 500 whom he accepted he under
takes to find positions for and gener-
ally succeeds in the case of from 200
to 25O of them. 1t may be seen to be
therefore rather precarious under
taking for the young man. or young
woman, resident in a western city. TO

JUDGING SIZE.

1t is almost impossible to Judge the
size of an object which is 80 feet or
more in the air above the observer.
Everybody who has been in London
knows how deceptive is the appear
ance of the famous clock Big Ben"
over the House of Parliament. Look
ing at the dial from the Embankment
or from Great George street, it seems
as If man of medium size could das
lily stretch across the dial with both
arms. Yet it would take four pair of
outstretched arms to cross it. The
minute hand, which looks like an or
binary walking stick, is longer than
the height of two average men. The
figures on the dial are bigger than a
child three years old. Equally decep-
tive are the tunnels of the Atlantic
steamers. The tunnels of the Umbria
and Etruria are Is feet in diameter,
while those of the Lucania and Cam
pania are just 21 feet Each funnel
from the top of its junction with the
furnace is 1870 feet in length.

The Maui again takes the Claudine's
