STRANGE UMBRELLA DISEASE.

The umbrella disease" is a strange
new affection. William Michaels. n
lawyer of Parker, Pa, has just re-
turned TO his home, after a seven
months unsuccessful stay in this CITY.
where he came in the hope of being
cured of this strange disease.
A few years ago Mr.. Michaels got
into the habit of carrying an umbrella
about with him everywhere, no mat
ter how favorable the weather might
be. The umbrella was no inconsider-
able weight, and the constant pressure
of the bend of the handle on the ball
of his thumb finally resulted in the
formation of callosity there. Short
ly afterward the ealloused part began
to sting at intervals, unfl gradually It
became SO that the pain was contin-
uous and almost unbearable.
When Mr.. Michaels came to this citv
eight months ago the first physician
he sought told him that his hand was
gradually turning to stone, and that
the only thing for him to do was to
udNV liz manu- oAApuldltu. Mlc0aelS
refused to give up hope, and went
about from physician to physician, un-
til when, a few weeks ago, his hand
had become as rigid and cold as mar
BILE, he reluctantly agreed to have his
hand amputated at the wrist. Now he
is relieved Of all pain.
A somewhat similar case occurred
in London a short time ago, when a
member of paliament had his hand
turn to stone from carrying a heavy
cane.
1t will be remembered also that the
since dead ossified man claimed that
his Justification began in his feet and
that the doctors attributed the cause
to the wearing of extremely tight
shoes. "Corns" are simply a modia-
cation of ossiiication.-New York Jour-
nal.

said the seaman, annoyed by the nau-

Something" reiterated Weston.
What is it? A church or windmill
going before the wind?"
Neither, sir-but boat adrift."
How does it bear, Ned?" asked
Hislop, starting into the rigging.
"On the starboard bow, about two
miles off,"
On hearing this the telescope was
resorted to, and we could plainly
enough see a white object, which the
fell, hid from us at times; and there
was great diversity of opinion, for
one of the crew maintained that it was
a harbor buoy adrift.
1T must have drifted long way to
have come here" retorted Carlton,
"and II you have your grandmother's
spectacles about you, wipe them clean,
put them on, and look again--for | can
see plainly enough that it is boat"
Then we shall overhaul it," said
Weston; "Hislop. prepare to lower
ours, and to lay the fore-yard aback."
The Eugenie's course was shaped to-
ward 1t, and when within a quarter of
milo the foresail was laid to the
mast, the brig hove in the wind, and
the stern boat lowered; Hislop, Tom
Lambourne, two other hands and
manned her and put off to inspect
and report upon what we could dis
cover. And so, with many surmises as
to wrecks boats getting adrift or be-
ing washed away from their davits,
and SO forth we pulled swiftly toward
her, all stripped to our shirt sleeves,
for hot West Indian sun was blazing
in a cloudless sky, and the air seemed
still and breathless.

the wind as possible without making
the canvas shiver
I could see the lights that glittered
in the distant villages that studded the
low but fertile peninsula Of SAVANNA.
All was still and quiet in the ship and
around 1t. Soothed by the solemnity of
the hour and the vast solitude of the
sea, my heart was full, and busy mem
DRY brought before me loved faces and
voices, places and scenes, that were
far away. in dear old England
The brig was gliding through the
water rapidly, but imperceptibly, and
almost without a sound; the men of
the watch were leaning over the bull
wark to leeward. and the air, the sea
and all aloft and below seemed to
sleep in the moonlight; not a reel
point battered on the taut canvas, and
scarce a wavelet rippled save in the
dead water astern that marked the
white wake of the Eugene.
Suddenly shrill and piercing cry
rang out upon the night, and Antonio
the Cuban rushed out from the fore
castle with the widest terror ex-
pressed in his black eyes; his visage
was pale and CHASTITY, and the perspira-
tion glittered like bead drops on his
clammy brow. With his bare feet he
stumbled over the chain cable, which
lay coiled up on the deck, for on that
afternoon we had hauled it up and
bent it to the working anchor.
He came running aft in his SHIRT,
brandishing knife in his hand, and
exclaiming in fierce and then implor-
ing accents:
who says I did it? Who dares to
say so?"
Then, letting his arms drop as he
skunk back to his bunk, we heard him
groan out:
"El cuchillo-el cuchillop' (the knife
the knife.)
Hence, under such circumstances, 1t
may easily be supposed that. among
the crew there floated strange and
dark surmises as to the past life of
Antonio ell Cubano.
