" 'A little silver,' I said carelessly. " 'Oh, how lovely. How much? " Only thirty cents.' I said, as though I was disappointed at not finding a bag of it. I wasn't disappointed. Never was so happy in my life. It was just enough to pull me through, and I reached home with ten cents, but I tell you it don't do to lean on your luck like that every day."

"I fcd a most extraordinary piece of luck last Sunday," remarked a young broker a day or two ago, "and for it I have been thanking a kind providence ever since. I invited a girl cousin to go down to Lcfig Beach for the afternoon, ' take supper there and return In the erly evening. After we started I discovered that I had somehow brought only $2.90 with me. I had one railroad ticket, but with another required,-tw- suppers, car fares and ferriage, figure as I wanted, I was just about twenty cents short. It was one of those horrible cases of nniling and joking without, and a sort of whited sepulcher within, wondering wildly how to pull through.

' ' . force, or three tons to the square foot-thu- s a surface of only two square sustains a blow yards from a heavy Atlantic breaker equal to fifty-fo- tons. In March of this year a heavy gale blew for three days and nights at Skerry-vol-e, washing out blocks of limestone and granite of three and five tons weight as easily as if they had been empty egg shells, in some cases throwing them en-tirely over the breakwater atPlymouth. Over 300 tons of such blocks were washed 300 feet up the inclined beach after being thrown over the breakwater and scat-tered about in various directions. One block of limestone, estimated to be of fifteen tons weight, was moved over 150 feet from a place in the surf where it had been firmly grounded since 1697, it having first been rolled in sight by the awful gale of the "Windy Christ-mas" of that year. This is quite a high sea record for 1890, showing that the gale of March 8 was the worst known on the Scottish coast for 193 years. Chicago j Times. Monstrous Power of Sea Breakers. From experiments made last month at Bell Eock an 1 Skerryvole lighthouses, on the coast of tfcotland. It was found that while the force of the breakers on the side of the German ocean may be taken at about a ton and a half to every square foot of exposed surfacf, the .Atlantic ride throw breakers with double that . . V ' . Lawlessness North and South. There is a familiar tone in the dis-patches which tell of the efforts of White Caps near Bangor to tar and feather somebody. "The sympathy of the people is so strongly with them," the reports say, "that the authorities will make no efforts whatever to prevent the carrying out of their threats." Such news sometimes comes from the south, and then it is generally seized upon by papers hostile to that sunny section as a text to point the moral that life and property are not safe down there, and that the authorities are in sympathy with the law breakers Jo such an extent that crime goes unpunished. Up in Maine, a good, respectable New England state, of course it's different The lawbreakers up there wear white caps, while those down south wear black ones. J Come, now, let's be fair. Shouldn't these little episodes in New England life teach us that human nature is very i much the same on both sides of Mason and Dixon's line? Wherefore pluck out ' the beam that is in the eye of our south-ern neighbors while we still have quite J a sizable mote bothering our own eye? j Boston Globe. j Black Hills Tin Mines. Joseph Hare, editor of The Tin Miner, of Hill City, S. D., in speaking of the tin mines at that place, says: "Hill City is situated exactly in the center of the tin belt, which is in the shape of a half j moon, and is about thirty miles in length and three miles wide. We are twenty-- ; eight miles from Rapid City, the near-- j est railroad point. j "The richness of these mines is Bimply wonderful, and one- - who has not been j there can hardly believe it, but I state a fact when I tell you that there is enough tin on the dumps and in sight now to supply the United States for live years. As soon as the big mill is started at Hill City we shall then be able to ship the tin ent in bars. Some of these mines have been pushed down 240 feet, and the deeper the richer. "The vein is eight feet thick and dips toward the east at an angle of about 45 degs. Some of the mines average 27J per cent, of metallic tin, and the whole ledge averages 10 per cent. The capital-ists interested are mostly New York and English men. The larger part of the j capital is furnished by New York men." HE IS STILLA TERROR. Armoy Knox and His Publishers A Truthful Story from the Pen of a Friend. "BUSST LIKE A TBOPIGAL ESEEZE." ' I The Law Against Contract Labor es More of a Paree Every Day , Bews Note?. New York, Nov. 5. No more re-markable apparition ever startled a staid and respectable book publisher in the dignified city of Boston than that beheld by Mr. James A Osgood who has recently been made the head of an " American publishing houso in London . . when Col. J. Annoy Knox, then a ten-derfoot front Texas, burst into Mr. Os--. good's office some years ago like a trop- - leal breeze. Even now, after the colonel " has been subjected to the restraining Influences of eastern, civilization for several years, he is what the boys call a "holy terror." His hat is a yard and a half in circumference, and the back of his neck is wholly hidden by his long "dark hair, while the clothes that he wears, although conventional in cut, are ' preposterous in pattern. He came east in search of a publisher and brought the manuscript of his first ' book with him. It was a little anecdote he had written about life in Texas, only a few thousand pages long, and the manuscript came on as extra baggage in a single freight car. It was the manu-script that resulted in the celebrated book "On a Mexican Mustang," which was afterward published by S. S. Scran-to- n & Co., of Hartford, and was still later republished in German, French and Spanish translations. At that time, however, Col. Knox was little known, and he went first to Boston . in search of a publisher. He took the precious sheets in a huge tin box, about a yard square arid eighteen inches thick, secured by a combination safe lock. Reaching Boston he hired a negro porter" to carry it around to Osgood's publish- - . ing house. The clerks were too much amazed at his appearance to stop him when he inquired where Mr. Osgood's private office was and calmly walked in, telling the darky to wait outside. ' He introduced himself, and bet ore Mr. Osgood could catch his breath he began telling stories. That gentleman at once became interested and chatted for half an hour before he thought to inquire what his caller's errand was. "I want to see if you will publish my book for me," said the colonel. "Have you the manuscript here?" ' asked Mr. Osgood. "Oh, yes," replied the colonel, and he called the porter in with the tin box. Before Mr. Osgood could recover from this second shock the colonel said, in an ' offhand way, "I can leave it with you till if you want to read it be-fore deciding." "Perhaps that will be just as well," gasped the publisher, and Col. Knox blew out of the door. The next day he returned, and was told that his book had been accepted, but that on, account, jpf other contracts the firm would not undertake to pub-lish it within about six months. "Oh, I can't wait so long!" he ex--- claimed. 'Til tell you what I'll do. I'll get you to lend me a nigger, and I'll take it away and try another pub-lisher." They lent him two, and he took the book on to Philadelphia, where he found another publisher, who, after the colonel had kindly allowed him twenty-fou- r hours to read the work, agreed to pub-lish it with copious illustrations. After his return to Texas the aspiring author soon began to receive proof sheets, and was greatly disgusted with the pict-ures that were inserted. He remon-strated with exceeding vigor, and the publisher wrote and asked him what he was going to do about it. Col. Knox did not answer this let-ter. He went to Philadelphia on the next train and culled at the office at an hour when he knew the publisher was out. There he spent a jovial half hour with one of the employes, and suggested that he would take the manuscript, which was all in the tin box, over to his hotel, as he wished to revise it a little. The clerk made no objection, and the colonel departed with the box. He never returned. David A. Cdktis. A Wild Cuban. ' The most interesting inmate of Bloom-ingda- le Insane asylum, however, is a young Cuban, whose family is an enor-- mously wealthy one in the city of Carde- - nas, Cuba. He has been in the institu- - ; tion a year, and has hnprovod so much , that his family intend to take him home ' shortly. j He is a medium sized man of 23 years, with soft brown eyes, curly brown hair i and a beautifully clear complexion. He does not speak a word of English, but converses fluently in Spanish and j French. When he first entered the place he was j wild, and severely thrashed several of the attendants. The minnte they turned ' their eyes away from hiin he would j ; pounce upon them with the agility and ferocity of a tiger, and punch and kick them until he was overpowered. Now i he has the quietest and most gentleman- - ' ly manners in the world, and receives all visitors with a courtly hospitality. New York Journal. A KUe Story. Some fishermen engaged in Belfast lough recently picked up a very large seagull which was seen approaching the boat with wings outspread, floating on the water, but quite dead.' The men were puzzled to account for the progress it made through the wter, as it went faster than the boat; but as it came near it was found that, wound securely round the body and under the wings, was a string or cordage, which on closer exam-ination they discovered was attached to a larg8 paper kite then flying above thorn at a considerable height The kite furnished the propelling power. The bird had evidently, while flying at Bel-fast, got entangled in the string of a boy's Trite, had been unable to extricate itself, and taking to the sea had been drowned in its efforts to obtain freedom, Exchange. j On an Ocean Racer. i An Ohio' clergyman thus writes of his experience on one of the ocean racers: "I have made my ' last trip on a racing steamer. We left thirty minutes ahead j of the Teutonic, and the npeed main-tained was terrific. On Saturday night the heat was so oppressive in the cabins ' that everybody had to go on deck, and it was found that the great speed had ' ' overheated the machinery, but there was no check until Sunday, when the ( passengers became alarmed, and the en- - gines were slowed down to allow the machinery to cool. If the speed had been kept np for a few hours the vessel, ' with all on board, would have gone to the bottom." i A New Refuge for Paris. By the death of M. Pruvot, a landed proprietor, who lived in the Boulevard de Courcelles, and left behind him a fortune of 90,000, the city of Paris has received a legacy of nearly 40,000. The testator left instructions that the chief portion of this amount is to be nsed for the construction and mainte-nance of a "Night Shelter for the Home-less and Destitute Poor in the Seven- - teenth Arrondissement," which includes the districts of the Ternfes, the Plaine-Moncea- u, the Batignolles and the s. He has also left a considerable sum for benevolent purposes among the young to ths town of Solesmes, where he had a residence. London Telegraph. Baltimore's Oyster Season. Oysters will not be plentiful until the middle of October, when the dredging ' season opens and the great oyster fleet, consisting of large schooners, pungies, bugeyes, etc., begins operations. A rushing business is then done about the retaii wharves, and the harbor front is alive with oyster merchants and men seeking employment. The lower harbor now is well filled with craft of every description waiting the opening of the dredging season, and the prospects are very bright. Baltimore News. , llrllliant Venus. VenuB, the fairest of the stars, shines like a young moon on September even-ings. She is visible almost as soon as the sun disappears, and may be seen at noonday by observers who know where to look. The time of her visibility is, however, lessened by her southern declination, which shortens her stay above the horizon. She reaches her greatest eastern elongation on the 23d, when she is as far east of the sun as possible, and begins to retrace her steps toward him, becoming larger and brighter as she approaches the earth until Oct. 29, when she reaches her greatest brilliancy.

One of the summer industries at Old Orchard beach hus been the gathering and the sale of "sweet grass," a kind of green thatch that grows quite plentiful-ly along the sea wall. It has a peculiar-ly rich odor and a small package in bu-reau drawers or a close room gives out its fragrance for weeks and months. One little fellow has peddled $35 worth of grass among the hotel guests this sea-son. Parties do a thriving business fill-ing orders for grass from all parts of the country.

New York, Oct. 2. The law against contract labor becomes more of a farce everyday. The investment of foreign capital in American'industries is being accompanied by the transfer of foreign labor. There is an army of English pot-ters at Trenton, of French and Belgian glassmakers on the Pittsburg gas belt, of Scotch quarrymen and stonecutters in the Massachusetts quarries, and of French and Swiss watchmakers in man-ufacturing jewelry establishments of the country. They go direct from Castle Garden or the Barge Office to their' place of labor the same as if no law on the subject were in existence. The little republic of Switzerland sends a never failing, but small, stream of people every year. Most of them are waiters, watchmakers and carvers; near-ly all are skilled workmen of the best type, and few if any are laborers of any sort. In this regard Switzerland is un-like any other country, the preponder-ance, of immigrants from all the rest being laborers. The increasing number - of Americans who visit Europe has so popularized the Swiss waiter, chef and steward on the one side, and on the other made the latter so well impressed with our countrymen, that we may ex-pect a larger accession of Swiss than ever before. Nearly all come over with good outfit of clothes, and seldom less than $200 in cash. Of the three Swiss types the French and German are the leaders in emigrating. The Swiss-Italia- n is far less ambitious, and even when he leaves his native town never goes umch beyond Italian Austria or the northern part of Italy. The number who rxc!i the United States seldom exceeds teu year. BlR Potatoes. George L.
