What's this, Quartermaster--q quar-
reling with the passengers? And who
are you, sir, who talk so big?"
Ihe seaman answered, while l hesi-
tated, doubtful how to act. ...~.
"A second class, sir, who's been
a-trespassing up here constant, and I'd
my orders, sir, from the chief officer to
watch him."

before turning out my light I climbed

and with him was the United States
marshal. When they heard Of the es-
cape Of the ccnspirators, they hurried
back to New York, but for the moment
We're unable to come upon the track Of
the .fugitives. Snuyzer is still hopeful,
and as his employers have put him ex-
clusively upon this business do not
doubt that some day he will have an
interesting story to tell Of their pursuit
and capture. The duchess had been
abandoned, but we owed her too much
gratitude to trouble or interfere with
her. l gladly liquidated Messrs. Sara
bands charges and have placed myself
entirely under their protection.
For the rest it is enough to say that

No one, Mrs. Fairholme most of all,

for the summer and autumn in q

Where Beggnrs May Ride.

Horses are so cheap in Auckland
that pedestrianism ltds fair to become
extinct. The postman does his rounds
on horseback. The butcher, a huge
basket slung over his arm, canters up
with ordered provender Schoolboys,
two frequently sharing a mount, ride
to school, where a paddock is reserved
for their ponies. Even the lamplighter
performs his duties perched on an
ambling nag, while the droves of live
stock passing along the roads are al
ways under the cure of 4 mounted
escort.
When an outdoor man is sent on an
errand that would entail walking a
quarter of mile, he Invariably spends
ten minutes in catching a. horse that he
may ride. But more ludicrous than all
else was it to see a sweep, his atten-
ton to the kitchen chimney completed,
canter off on his nag, with the bag
of SCOT perched on the saddle before
him.
AS an instance of the topsy turvy
state of things antipodean it may be
mentioned that it is considered smart
er to drive in a hired carriage than in
your own trap.-Blackwood's.

Advertise In Your PnDer

No paper could live on the money
paid for it. by subscribers. 1t gives
them more than it gets from them. II
pays editors. reporters, correspondents
printers, pressmen, paper makers, ink.
makers, landlord, coal dealers, gas.
makers, etc. more than it's subscribers
pay it. 1t expects to cover it's expenses
partly by selling it's advertising space.
If any persons want to use the pub
licity that the paper has for sale and
on which it depends in a measure for
its living, subscribers or not subscrib.
ers. justice and business principles re-
quire them to pay for it. After giving
subscribers more than their moneys
worth it could not also give them free
advertising. If it's publicity is worth
having, it's worth paying for.-Weekly

The Goat.

Originally the common or domestic
goat was native of the highlands of
Asia. Naturalists generally regard it
as having descended from an animal
found in the Caucasus mountains and
the hill country of Persia, called in
the Persian language the pesaHg.
Among the Greeks and the Romans
the goat was sacrificed to Bacchus be-
cause Of it's tendency to injure grape
vines by eating the young tendrils and
leaves. All the species Of goats are
natives of the old world. The Rocky
mountain goat, so called, of North
America really belongs to the antelope
family. .:.~.~ .

Justice In Haiti.

Judicial procedure in Haiti Is in Ger.
tain instances not untouched by hu-
NOR. A Haitian owed a trader $2S. A
judgment requiring the Haitian to nav
$4 a week into court was given, and
the trader was to send a messenger
every week to the magistrate for the
money. In due time he sent for the
hrst lnstallment and was informed
that the Haitian had not paid up, but
that he should be thrown into prison
for his failure.
! Three weeks passed with the same
result. One morning the Haitian came
TO the traders store. He was, he said,
O. poor man, much married. a man to
whom, therefore, expense came. What
good, he asked, would accrue to the
trader if he, the poor man, was thrown
into prison? Let the trader forgive
him his debt and earn thereby untold
rewards in a future state.
After some talk the trader gave him
a letter of remission, which he went off
to present to the magistrate. The af-
fair was settled, but the Haitian was
struck by the bad grace with which
the magistrate dismissed him, and he
forthwith returned to the trader and
asked him if he had received the So he
had already paid into court. The trad
er looked surprised and said he had
received nothing.
'Then, since you have RENTED the
debt, that So is mine," said the Hal
tian.
Accordingly, he went off to the court
to present his claim. The magistrate
at once committed him to prison. A
consul who had heard the story asked
the magistrate what the Haitian was
sent to prison for.
"For contempt Of court" was the
reply,

Held Up by HIghwaymen.

An 1S-year-old youth from Princess
Anne named Washington Finch was
held up and robbed on Talbot street
early Sunday morning by three negroes.
The highwaymen obtained 50 in cash
and everything else but the clothes the
young man wore. In endeavoring to
free himself from their clutches Finch
was dubbed on the head and stabbed
in the hand with knife, and choked
by two of the negroes while the third
ransacked his pockets.
He went to the station-hou where
his injuries were dressed. The wound
in his hand was of such q nature as to
require several stitches to close the gap.
The police will endeavor to catch the
perpetrators of the crime but up to this
writing no arrests have been made.
