ANOTHER MAN GONE.

George Jones, mounted patrolman,
missing since the departure of the Aus
tralia on her last trip, is now in San
Francisco.
On the day of the departure of the
Australia Jones went aboard and got
solid" with some OF the crew by set
ting up the drinks. Then, as clinch-
er he stated that he had been sent by
the High Sheriff on a chase after an
embezzler. He did not know just
exactly where he was but that did not
make any difference. He would lind
out later.
Jones owed but very little in town
and his departure for the States is
viewed in the light OF decision from
a mind Influenced by Intoxicating
liquors. On this account, II is thought
that he will return home soon.

BOARDING WITH AN IDOL.
Castaways Live on offerings to
Heathcn Deity.
Trom the Colu...ll..... 5. d s.ate.l

Captain Murray Port Royal bar pilot
who has followed the sea since boyhood
and visited nearly every section OF the
habitable globe. is full of interesting rem
iniscences of happenings in distant lands
in which he participated The old pilot
is fond of relating an incident which oc-
cured near Calcutta, India. The vessel
which he commanded a fine clipper ship.
was wrecked in typhoon in the Bay of
Bengal and all hands, save himself and
two companions who succeeded in reach
ing shore in the ships gig. were lost.
The three exhausted men Immediately
sought food and shelter, and while thus
employed came upon an immense wooden
image which they correctly surmised to
be an Indian idol. Night was upon them
and the tired men bivouacked near by and
their attention was soon attracted by the
appearance of a score of low-caste Hin
docs, each of whom carried III his hands r
savory dish which he placed before the
inanimate gcd. After each native had de-
posted his offering with profuse signs and
words they departed. and when the hun
cry sailors we're satisfied that their
strange visitors had retreated for the
night they greedily dcvoured the boun-
teous repast intended for the idol. MUIR
ray and his companions remained in the
neishborhood for several days subsisting
nightly on the offerings brought by the
Hindoos as a tribute to their god and re-
naming concealed in the daytime.
one night about ten days after their
shipwreck two natives suddenly surprised
the three men while they We're in the very
act Of making their usual meal and light
ensued The natives proved no match for
the resolute and well-armed americans
and soon beat an ignominious retreat,
leaving the latter complete masters Of
the situation. The captain and his COM
panions. fearing that the natives would
return in force and massacre them, made
their way to Calcutta where they secured
passage in a hOmeward bound vessel.
Some fifteen years subsequently Pilot
Murray recognized in Captain Cole of the
shin Kirkum. which called here for car
go, one of his old companions in the ex-
citing encounter in far-off India. The
recognition was mutual and the two men
were delighted TO renew their acquaint-
ance after half generation.

THE DRAGON FLY.
He Is Among The Gamcst Insect
World GIadiRtors.

CFrom the New Orleans Times -Demoerat)
do you know that the dragon fly is one
of the gamest fighters alive?" said young
railroad man, who has Just returend from
weeks sojourn at a fishing club across
the lake. Every evening, out at our
place. We have been having great sport
watching pitched battles between big
brown mosquito hawks as the natives
cali them, and a smaller insect of the
same species. that can be distinguished
by its unusually large head and long, ta-
pering, dark blue wings. For some mys-
terious reason there seems to be deadly
feud between the two tribes, and a meet
ing is always a signal for mortal COM
bat. Before dusk deepens when they are
stiH easily discerpible against the sky, 1t
is very interesting to see ccunle of these
little giadiators get down to business.
AS soon as they can catch sight of one
another they charge, full tilt, the object
OF each fighter being apparently to land
on the back of the enemy, right behind
the head. II dragon fly succeeds In seiz-
ing his antagonist at that spot, it is all
over with the victim. They fiutter- slowly
together to earth, and the under fly is
always left dead where he falls. As near
iy as am able to discover, the victor nips
him through the neck with his powerful
mandibles. The most exciting part OF the
HgHts, however, is when they miss the
first plunge 1t is wonderful. then. to
see how they will charge and counter
charge and maneuvre to and fro in light
ming circles, without leaving space that
could be almost covered with the brim of
a straw hat You must witness one of
these battles royal to get any idea of
their ferocity and swiftness. AS gen.
eral thing. the little blue fellows were the
conquerors, and sometimes there would be
as many as twenty-five or thirty encoun-
tiers in the space of an hour
1 never before had occasion to examine
q dragon fly closely, and | was astonished
10 see what beautiful pieces of living
mechanism they really are Both species
that frequented our neighborhood have
four wings, one pair directly behind the
other, and their entire contour is remark
able for its slender elegance The wings
are semi-transparent. and are traversed
by tiny, irregular ribs, like a stained glass
window. The bodies of the blue flies are
deep. mottled purple with buff heads.
and the brown winged fellows are other
wise velvety black with a yellow spot
between the eyes They are the swiftest
and handsomest creatures that inhabit our
southern air, aud, by the way, their repu-
tation as mosquito hunters has not been
in the least overdrawn. They kent our
vicinity free from the pests. which we

fine twine and with fine meshes. When
they are set straight, at right angles to
the shore, the fish swim against them and
find that they can then go neither for
ward nor backward. being caught by the
gills in net too fine to let their bodies
through. They are taken OFF by the fish
ermen in boats. The jumping muliet"
is often caught at night by building
fire of lightwod in the bow of a boat iata
which the fish jump, being attracted by
the light. Hook-and-l fishing with
crab meat for bait. is carried on to

own canoes and are not employed by the
owners of pounds or purse nets. Fishing

portion of the colored people living in the
vicinity of Hampton Roads, several OF
whom own fish markets or wagons.

A Trial of Journalism.

(From the New York Commercial -Adyertiser)
Once there was a really radical paper
In London Il was, but the man who made
It now lives here and tells the tale. II
was one of those papers which are a trag-
edy. they represent the wreck of the en-
thusiasm of strong men who must find
the outlet for their apostolate. This
paper began by being at odds with all that
was established, and il had readers. But
as time went on the man who made the
paper drove off singly and in groups all
those who had begun by being his sup
porters 1t was found little too radical
for item. and they no longer kept step
with ITS newest march
"Of course l now can see that such a
paper was foredoomed to failure" the
editor said after he had recited the early
history of his venture. Il confess it was
pretty strong even for British radicals.
After the circulation had dwindled down
to the extremists ! succeeded in alienat-
ing about half of them by denouncing
social democracy as feudal oppression,
and the other half left me when at
tackled atheism on the score of its super
stitious tendencies. After that | ran the
paper as long as conld without any sub
