OLD LONDON STREET NAMES.
There Were 17 Frying Pan Alleys
 and ii Artichokes. ,

Houndsditch, the proposed re- christening of which is still being keenly debated, is survival of a great number of old time London street names at least as objection able.
 It had formidable rivals in Crack brain court, passage in Rosemary lane. Whitechapel; in Deadman's place, which was near Dirty lane, in Southwark; and in Cutthroat lane. which was "Ratcliff way" Then there was Bandyleg alley, close to the Fleet Ditch; Rotherhithe had it's Cuckold's court. Of Frying Pan all leys there were at one time IT; Hangman's Gains was near the Tower; Shock alley rubbed shoul- ders with Hockley in the Hole. and Sinking lane was malodorous neighbor of Newgate Market.
 Among other curious old world names, some of which may possibly still survive, were Gossips' row, Gutter lane, Farthing alley (three of them), Breakneck alley, court and stairs, and Artichoke, a name which occurred II times in Old London.- Westminster Gazette.

CAUGHT A SEA BAT
Strange Fish Taken in a Seine Off
 North Carolina Coast.

StAoAASS A ASAA AUAASAA AAA = SSAAAS SAA
 North Carolina Coast.
 One of the rarest specimens of the fish kingdom known to waters con- tiguous to the North Carolina coast was captured in seine at Mason boro Sound Monday by William Hew- lett, a fisherman The fish, which was brought to the city last evening, is what is called "the sea bat" and it is perfect reproduction of a leather wing bat on large scale. The fish is about fifteen inches long and about thirty inches across the back.
 Strange to state it had a thin threadlike tail about fifteen inches in length and on each side of the rear appendage were two perfectly formed gloved feet, with a smaller diversion having the exact appearance of thumb, with the other part of the hand mittened. The mouth of the strange specimen was about five inches across and on each side of the mouth or the under side of the body there were five "strainers'' or holes through which the fish is said to rid itself of refuse products resulting from the forage it picks up at the bottom of the sea. The top of the fish was dark slate color and the under part of the body was white.
 One old negro fisherman more than 70 years of age stated that this was only the second specimen of the sea bat he had ever seen in his long ex- perience as fisherman. The speci- men which had a truly uncanny ap- pearance, will probably be sent to the State museum at Raleigh.-Wil mington Dispatch.

 A group of miners lounged in the space before the front windows-fa- miliarly referred to by its habitues as "the amen corner'-chatting and watching the passersby.
 Suddenly she clapped her hand to her mouth to stife cry. 4 name had been spolien-thc name that was in her thought-the name of Hugh Stires. She leaned forward, listening breath lessly.
 T wonder where the young black legs been.' said one, peering through the windows. He'd better have stayed away for good, I'm thinking. What does he want to come back for, to a place where there aren't three men who will take drink with him?"
 Jessica looked about her an instant wildly, guiltily. She could not be mis- taken in the name. Was Hugh here, whither by the reriest accident she had come-here in this very town that she had gazed down upon every day for weeks? Was he? No. no; it could not be. She had not heard aright. But she had an overwhelming desire to satisfy herself with her own eyes. From where she stood she could not see the street. She bethought herself of the upper balcony.
 Swiftly she crossed to the hall door. threw it open and ran hastily up the stair.

CApCl lcuCcS. que udu always lived much in herself, and to her natural reserve her blindness had added. As a result her knowledge both of herself and of life had been superficial. The first bitter shock of her catastrophe seemed to burn up in her the very capacity for further poig- nant suffering. and she went through the motions of life alphabetically.
 Change of scene and the declining health of David Stires occupied fortu- nately much of her waking thoughts. After the first few months of travel he failed steadily. His citric acid moods were forgotten, his harsh tenn pers put aside. Hour after hour he lay in his chair, gazing out from the wide sun parlor of the sanitarium on the crest of Smoky mountain, whither their journeying had finally brought them. He had never spoken of Hugh.
 In time her flercer pain had dulled, and her imagination, naturally so im- portunate. had begun to seize upon her SuIlOuHulLSS. III tue SuIuUleE season the sanitarium had few guests, and for this she was thankful. Dr. Brent, its head, rallying her on her paleness, drove her out of doors with good na- tured severity, and when she was not with David Stires she walked or rode for hours at a time over the mountain trails. Breathing in the crisp air of altitude, her spirits grew more buoy ant. She fed the squirrels, listened to the pert chirp of the whisky jack and the whirring drum of the partridge or sat on a hidden elevation which she named ''The Knob" facing across the shallow valley te the s1e.n.
 The knob overlooked a little grassy shelf few hundred feet below, where stood a miners cabin, with weed grown gravel heaps near by, ia front of which tree bore the legend painted roughly on a board, "The Little Pay master Claim"

His hand was slightly cut and swollen. and the cIrclet would not come of. but by shifting 1t slightly he could see the white depres- sion made by long wear. The setting was an odd one, formed of the twisted letters II. s. Those naturally should be his initials, but there he stopped. He repeated to himself all the names he could think of, beginning with S, but they told him nothing.
 He looked himself over again care fully, refectlvely. He put out his hand and laid 1t on the spaniel's head.
 Its rough tongue licked his fingers. It held up one fore paw mutely and lamely. He drew the feverish, dirty little creature into his lap and exapl- ined the limp member. It was broken.
 Poor little beggar" said he under his breath. "So you've baen knocked out too" With his knife he cut piece from the lining of his coat and with a splinter of wood from the floor he set the fractured bone and wrapped the leg tightly. The dog submitted with out whimper and when he set 1t down it lay quietly beside him watch ing him with affectionatc canine solici- tude.

He was conscious only of motion-swift, swallow-like, IT, resistible-this and theracing pictures in his brain stenciled on the blur of night that closed around him. These pictures came and went-the last revel of the saints when he was Satan San- derson, Hugh sneering at his calling, Jessica facing him with unbandaged eyes, Hallelujah Jones preaching on the street corner. ..
 Something in Harry's brain seemed to snap. A tiny shutter, like that of camera, fell down. His hands dropped from the steering wheel, and, swaying in bis seat, he began to sing in a voice made high and uneven by the speed of the car:
 Palms of victory!
 Crowns of glory!
 Palms of victory I shall wear!'
 He sang but the three lines, for suddenly the car left the road, the in- Hated tires rebounded from the steel

P. H. Houston Dies at Age Of II.

Mr.. p. H. Houston died at his
home in this city, Nov. 8 at 2 O'Clock,
a. m. More than year ago Mr..
Houston was stricken with paralysis
at his home in Tangepaho, La, since
which time he has resided in Grenada.
His death comes as no surprise. He
was born in Tallahatchie county and
had he lived until December he would
have celebrated his list birthday.
Mr.. Houston was good man, a true
friend and worthy and reliable citi-
zen.
At the beginning of hostillties be-
tween the states, he went to the
front in company commanded by W..
Fl. Fitzgerald of Charleston which af-
teward became a part Of the 21St
Mississippi regiment. He followid
the southern flag with unfaltering
faith and courage until the cessation
of the war. At the battle of Gettys-
burg, he was twice wounded. In
1889 Mr.. Houston moved with his
family to Grenada, where, with few
years exception, he resided until the
time of his death. He was a member
of the Presbyterian church. He is
survived by a wife and seven children.
His remains were laid to rest in Odd
Fellows Cemetery Monday afternoon.

by a company of gentlemen in Erena-
