The First Coaches in London.

In London riding was the only alter native to walking at the beginning of Elizabeth's reign, and lady never rode without six or seven serving men to carry attire suitable to the con- tingencies, and the means to repair toilet which might suffer on the jour- ney. To diminish this cost coaches came into use. They were introduced in 1864 by a Dutch coachman of the Queen, but we are told "a coach was a strange monster in those days, and the sight of it put both man and horse into amazement; some said it was a great crabshell brought out of China, and some imagined it to be one of the pagan temples in which the cannibals worshipped the devil. But at length these doubts were cleared and coach making became substantial trade. So rapid was the increase in coachs that i'll 1G01 an act of Parliament was pass ed ito restrain the excessive and su- perfuous use of coaches within this realm"

UNRAvELINe :, MYSTERY.
What q Slcuth-KOund of the Law
 Dead-Eye Dave, Discovered.

Dead-Eye Dave, Discovered.
 The sleuth-hound of the law, Dead Eye Dave, paused before the heavy oaken door at the end of the dark pas sage, says Judge. His trained ear de- tected strange sounds within.
 "Ah, hal" he muttered through his false whiskers. Gan this be their stronghold?"
 Glancing swiftly around, he stopped and placed his ear to the keyhole. The villains inside were evidently unaware of the detectives presence. Straining every nerve to the utmost, he heard the following:
 "Who deals? Oh, mine is It? Say, wouldn't we a-showed 'em trick or two if we'd had them spades? Well, now, you can gamble! Oh, ho! You lead hearts, eh? Well, that's mine, anyhow! Pardner, you can frcg that'n with ten-spotter What! didn't have it, eh? There! how'd ye like that? What! diamond? Never let up on trumps when you've begun on 'em, say It's yours, pard. Now, you fel- lows might s well loosen up and toss in your hands. We've got the cards eh. pard? All right Come on with your rat-killin'! What what! Well, by thunder! We lose, eh? Well, we ddn'y have any show at all. Not card worth mentioning in my hand Rotten {! Deal 'em up, somebody"
 The sleuth drew his arm across his dripping brow then, in voice quiver- ing with suppressed emotion, he re- marked:
 "Just as I thought! Those fellows are-playing whist.'
 With these words he stole softly away and was lost in the night.

Housekeeping Necessary.

The roomer in a London lodging house does not need to number the hairs of his head as precaution against theft, but he needs to keep careful ac- count of everything else, says writer in Public Opinion. An actor who had discovered his landlady's propensity for taking a portion of everything he bought numbered and listed his things
 One night he reused the household by shouting down from his attic demand for number eight"

MAHOGANY IN NEGRO CABINS.
But Collectors in Georgia Now Have
 to Take to the Svamps to Find It.

tO Take to the Swamps to Find It.
 Savannah, April 21.-Several of the curio shops in Savannah are kept by cclored men. They have attained con- siderable sagacity in the purchase of antiques, especially of old mahogany furniture, and they talk as glibly of Sheraton, Chippendale, and colonial styles, inlay, and veneer as their white competitors.
 Where do you reckon l find most of the old mahogany?' asked one of these dealers, pausing in the work of preparing Queen Anne bedsteal for the polish. "In the negro cabins. Not tie shanties in or near Savannah, nor those on the main travelled roads. All that furniture was picked up long ago.
 "Now we have to take to the swamps to find it. l frequently leave ny wife in charge of the shop while l go off on collecting trip for several days. I walk across the woods and fields, and find little old shanty some where off in a pine clearing, where the children may have but one garment apiece and sleep every night in ma Logany bed.
 Once 1 happened at such cabin just in time to keep a clawfoot bed stead from destruction. It was q chilly evening in spring, there was no fire wood at hand, and the man of the house was just taking one of the posts Of splendid colonial bed, which was in disuse in a shed, to the chopping block. A moment later it would have been on top of the cracking fat, pine kindlings in the smoky fireplface.
 ''The darkies know nothing of the value of mahogany. It came to them from their friends or the plantation owners, who put 1t away for newer lieces of walnut and maple. It went out of fashion, and so into the attics or the quarters, though the servants came into possession of most of it when ehc old homes were broken up after the wal.
 Any of this generation of negroes would rather have an up-to-date dress CT of pine wood brightly vanished or a white iron bedstead. have sometimes exchanged new furniture with them for the old pieces which collectors prize. That is always very satisfac- tory to the darky, although dollar or two of ready money will buy anything n his house.
 That is why the negro can secure the real old stuff down here better than white man. He understands the man. ners of the cabin and can live with the people. Even if white man succeeds in finding them in the marshes, the darkies would be distrustful and not likely to show him hospitality.
 Tt amuses me to see collectors from the North come down here hire car liage or q machine, and dash out on the country roads after old furniture and other curios. All that territory has been covered long ago.
 Indeed, although Savannah Is full of old mahogany, silver and porcelain, there is very little of it for sale, and what there is the owners know how t. value. I count, however, that I make about 700 per cent on the pieces that I pick up in the negro cabins in the interior"
