protruded about a foot above water. The propelling power was the muscles of the crew operating on a shaft by means of cranks. On the exterior there were yanes, or wings. that could be ad- justed at any angle by interior manipu-s lation, and when the boat was to move. on an even keel the vanes were kept, level. In order to descend at an angle of ten degrees the vanes were fixed at that angle and the propeller put in mo- ton. The resistance of the water against the vanes caused the bow to dip and the boat descended on an in- clined plane. By reversing the vanes the opposite direction would take the cury indicated how far she was under water at any time.
 After one more disaster the plan of manipulating the machine was radical ly changed by order of General Beau regard. While rehearsing for the at- tempt on the Housatonic the boat. dived under the Confederate receiving ship Indian in Charleston harbor, fouled a cable, and all on board perished The craft was recovered, and General Beau regard stipulated that in future she should operate on the surface as tor pedo boat. A torpedo which would ex- plode by concussion- was fixed on a spar at the bow, and two army off, cers, Lieutenant George E. Dixon of the Twenty-flrst Alabama and Captain J. F.

those present, he upbra1ds her, taunIs her, reviles her, demanding that she fall on her knees before him, as it seems indeed she would have done as, forsooth, half the danes of Paris would do to-day! Then, all of sud den, my lord director changes, and he craves pardon of the woman and of the regent, and so stalks off and leaves the room! And now then the poor creature walks to the table, would lift glass of wine, and so-'tis over! Twas like play! Indeed all Paris is like a play nowadays. Of course you know the rest"
 A gesture of negative came from the hand that lay in Lady Cath arine'D lap. The busy gossip went on.
 ''The regent, be sure, was angry enough at this cheapening of his own wares before all, and perhaps 'tis true he had fancy for the woman. At any rate, 'tis said that this very morning he quarreled hotly with MT. Law. The latter gave back words hot as he re- ceived, and so they had it violent enough. Iris stated on the Quinquem- polk that another must take MT. Laws place. But if MT. Law goes, what will become of the system? And what would the system be without MT. Law? And what would Paris be without the system? Why, listen, Lady Catharine! I gained 50,000 livres yesterday, and my coachman, the rascal, in some man. ner seems to have done quite as we'll for himself. I doubt not he will yet | build a mansion of his own, and per haps my husband may drive for him! These be strange days indeed. I only hope they may continue, in spite of l what my husband says"
 And what says he?' asked Lady ] Catharine, her own voice sounding to l her unfamiliar and far away.
 why, that the city is mad, and that this soon must end-this Mississippi bubble, as my Lord Etair calls it at the | embassy"
 1 "You did not tell me, Lady Emily | said she, with a woman's feigned indif- ference, what was the name of this poor woman of the other evening"" 1 "Why, so had forgot-and 'tis said that MT. Law, after Glf, comported himself something of the gentleman. No one knows how far back the affair runs, nor how serious it was. And in- deed I have seen no one who ever heard of the woman before"
 And the name?'
 "'Twas said MT. Law called her Mary Connynge."
 The big fly, deep down in the crystal cage, buzzed on audibly; and to one who heard it, the drone of the lazy | wings seemed like the roars of A. thou sand tempests.

he found himself was one or a suite in that magnificent Hotel de Soisson, bought but recently of the Prince de Carignan for the sum of 100000 livres, which had of late been chosen as the temple of Fortuna. The great gardens of this distinguished site were now filled with hundreds of tents and kiosks, which offered quarters for the wild mob of speculators which surged and swirled and fought through out the narrow avenues, contending for the privilege of buying the latest issue of the priceless shares of the Company of the Indies.
 The system was at it's height. The bubble was blown to it's last limit. The popular delirium had grown to it's last possible degree.
 From the window these mad mobs of infuriated human beings might have seemed so many little ants, running about as though their home had been destroyed above their heads. They hastened as though fleeing from the breath of some devouring flame. Sure ly the point of flame was there, at that focus of Paris, this focus of all Europe; and thrice refined was the quality of this heat burning out the hearts of those distracted ones.
 Law looked over this familiar scene, indifferent, calm, almost moody, his cheek against his hand, his elbow on his chair. What was the call, Henri,' asked he, at length, of the old Swiss who had. during these stormy times,

tillery battalion, volunteered to pune ture the Housatonic as she lay at an- chor Five sailors from the navy-Ar- mold Becker, James A. 'Wickes, F. Col lins, Ridgway and c. Sinpkins- also volunteered for the enterprise.
 About o'clock in the evening of the 17th the officer of the deck on the Housatonic was pacing to and fro scanning the water as far as it was possible in the darkness. Suddenly he. discovered what he afterward describ- ed as plank moving swiftly toward the ship. It was only 100 yards away, yet he hesitated to alarm the vessel over an object which appeared so in significant. The hesitation was fatal, for while the belated cry to quarters was sounding through the ship she7was struck just forward of the mainmast by torpedo which stove hole in her side below the water line The noble Housatonic sank in four minutes, car rying down five of the crew. The off, cers and the remainder of the crew climbed into the rigging and were taken off in boats.
 The mystery of the explosion which destroyed the Housatonic was not soly- ed until after the war. The ssplankn had disappeared, and even on the Con- federate side the affair was matter for wild guessing There were other Confederate '9Davids'' in the waters of Charleston harbor and hundreds of fixed and floating torpedoes in the channels. The men on board the Housatonic could give no account of what had happened beyond the story of the officer of the deck and the sudden explosion. The work might have been done by floating torpedo impelied by cogwheels, acting automatically.
 It soon became known that the scigaE boat had disappeared, yet she had been so 'unIucky in previous attempts that it could readily be believed this was only one more ghastly failure. But after the war the secret was cleared up by divers, who removed the debris from the channel While exploring the depths around the Housatonic they found a rusty iron machine, partially buried in mud and drifting debris. about 100 feet from the hull of the wrecked man-of-war, the prov pointing toward it. The machine was the miss ing "cigar boat" with the crew cof1ined inside
 The loss of the Housatonic was d warning to the Charleston blockading fleet to look out for trifes floating on the surface of the harbor. The Con- federates themselves took courage and increased the number of internal naa- chimes, but the Housatonic remained the chief victim of torpedoing until federate ram Albemarle in November. 1864.

 ~ N the evening of Feb. IT, 1864, @ M the United States sloop of war W Housatonic was riding at an
 chor in the north channel of Charleston harbor. She was noble, new ship, one of the latest creations of the navy previous to the advent of the ironclads. With her quick acting screw propeller and her eleven big guns, she was a savage sentinel to be reckoned with by any Confederate ship seeking to pass in or out of the harbor. The adjacent waters were full of Federal blockaders, and every rod of vantage ground around the harbor was under the guns of the besieging army and navy. So effectually was the port blockaded that the Confederates pent up there resorted to the most desperate attempts to destroy the enemy,s war ships by internal devices.
 A companion vessel to the Housaton- ic, the New Ironsides, was twice at tackled by torpedoes, the second time receiving serious damage. Soon after the last attack on the New Ironsides a little boat was brought by rail from Mobile and accepted by the Confeder- ate commander, General Beauregard, for secret service against the block aders of Charleston. Beauregard was in advance of his time in advocating torpedo warfare, and although the new machine came to him with forbid.

ding reputation he put her in training to make war upon the Housatonic.
 The new David was originally in- tended to dive in the water like fish, but had no provision for storing air and on an experimental trip at Mobile suffocated crew of eight men before they could be rescued. On her arrival in Charleston Lieutenant Payne of the navy found crew of eight men will ing to risk their lives in second trial. One night while preparing for dive the wave of passing ship washed over the little boat, and she carried to the bottom the whole crew, Payne alone escaping.
 Payne raised the boat, cleared her of the victims and promptly secured an- other crew of eight for a third trial. She again went to the bottom in the same manner as before, Payne and two men escaping. The craft had earned a fatal reputation in Charleston harbor and was taken into Stone river, where she made several dives and came up all right. Finally, however, she stuck in the mud at the bottom of the river, and all on board perished. Once more she was raised, the dead removed-the fourth ghastly cargo from her iron bound hull = and brought back to Charleston harbor.
 Every disaster to the boat had some feature that was held by sailors in the secret to be warning for the future, and fifth crew volunteered for fur ther experiments. The machine dived beautifully and, barring accidents, would carry torpedo anywhere. Ow- ing to her novel shape this famous tor pedo craft passed into history as the ''cigar boat" Constructed of iron, she measured thirty feet in length and four in breadth, with a depth of six feet, approximately. Access was by two manholes covered by hinged caps and having bullseyes for steering purposes. While the vassn was afioat these caps

 Lady Kitty! Lady Kitty! Have you heard the news?" .r ...
 Thus, breathIess, the countess of Warrington, Lady Catharine's English neighbor in exile, who burst into the drawing-room early in the morning, not waiting for announcement of her presence.
 May. not yet, my dear" said Lady Catharine, advancing and embracing her. What is it, pray? Has the poodle swallowed bone, or the baby perhaps cut another tooth? And, for sooth, how is the little one?'
 The streets are full of it. said she. Have you not heard, reaI1y?"
 T must say, not yet. But what is it?"
 Why, the quarrel between the re- gent and his director-general, Mr. Law 1
 No, have not heard of it.' Lady Catharine sought refuge behind her own fan. But tell me- she continued.
 "But that is not ali. Twas the req son for the quarrel. Paris is all agog. 'TYas about a woman!"
 You mean-there WaS-a wOman?'
 SsYes, it all happened last night, at the Palais Royal. The woman is dead --died last night. Iris said she fell in a fit at the very table-'twas at lit tie supper given by the regent-and that when they came to her she was quite dead.''
 ''But MT. Law"
 Twas he that killed her!"
 Good God! What mean you?'' cried Lady Catharine, her own face blanching behind her protecting fan. The blood swept back upon her heart leaving her cold as a statue.
 Why" continued the caller, in her own excitement to tell the news scarce noting what went on before her. cit seems that this mysterious. beauty oi the regents. of whom there has been so much talk, proved to be none other than a former mistress of this same MT. Law, who is reputed to have been somewhat given to that sort of thing though of late monstrous virtuous, for some cause or other. MT. Law came suddenly upon her at the table of the regent, arrayed in some kind of sav- age flnery-for twas in fashion a mask that evening, as you must lnow. And what doth my director-gener do, so high and mighty? Why, in spite of the regent and in spite of all
