The largest steel sailing vessel that has ever entered this port Is loading at Port Richmond, preparatory to a voy age to Sam Francisco. The ship is the Arthur Sewall. Her dimensions are as follows: Length over all. .,H fevt; length of keel. .",20 feet; breadth of beam. 4." feet: I depth, feet ! Indies; gross tonnage, tons. She has lower masts, Ikw sprit, topmasts, amd some of her yards of steel. Her masts from keel to truck are is 4 feet long. She will spread about 12.IMK) yards of canvas when she has all sails set. Her ship .machinery is of the very Litest pattern for lalvor saving and convenience In handling. She has a crew of 31 men. which In clude a number of apprentices. Her commander Is Caipt. James F. Murphy, who has lK'en in the Sewall employ for years, and who Is late of the big wood en ship Shenandoah, now commanded by his son. Wilder Murphy. The appointments of the Sewall are magnificent and suggestive of some millionaire's pleasure yacht. On the poop Is the chart house. Mnlshed like the rest of the apartments. In white enamel. In this house is ai bed, lounge, desk, chart-table, amd drawers. It Is lighted by windows on aill sides. Aft of this is the wheelhouse, which aim ply protects the helmsman In bad weaither, giving him a "soft snap" over the man on lard an ordinary ship. On the main deck Is tho cabin. The first room on the port side Is the dining room with oak tables and chailrs. On the opposite side Is the saloon. Aft of this apartment Is Caipt. Murphy's com modious room, with brass bedstead, chairs and lounges. Then comes the bathroom amd then a storeroom for chests. Off the dining-room on the port side Is the well-arranged pantry, then two neat rooms for the Mrst and second olllcers, then three guest rooms, and way aft a room for spart saills. Further forwaird on the ship are the accommodations and messroom for eight apprentices. Then the engine room for repairing sails. Still further forward Is the forecastle, with accom modations for 21 men. Taken all In all she Is a ierfoot ship, so far as time, money, tho lx-st of la lK)r, and material can make her, and she Is undoubtedly the finest ship afloat. She is the third steel ship built by the Sewalls, the others lclng the Dlrlgo, 1S!H, aud the Frsklne M. Phelps, In 1S0S. She Is the largest of the three nnd work on another of the Fame dimensions has Just U'en legun. The forthcoming ship will bo about the same style and Mnish as the one here described with the exception of being a little decider and with the omission of a "whalcback" on the forecastle and poop.

Go, Cupid: pay to her I hue, That rosea fall and time Is fleeting. I wutch the dial's shadow move, And wait and wait to give her greeting. For youth In sunnhlne on the dial. And love 1 our un o'd, old story: The yearn may dance with lute and viol The shadow moves so end their glory! Go, Cupid: In-ckou with your wing. That sweetest chance may waft her hltlnr: For we must woo, remembering How fast Jlio roses fall and wither. And oft the dial long nw. The pavement mink with mossy edges. Saw Youth and Love meet all aglow, And whisper by the old yew hedge. Go. Cupid, tell the maid I prize. How many In the courtyard wandered. What laughing lips and wltehlng eyes. In love's delight their beauty squandered! The ruffs, brocade, and buckled shoes. How softly down the path they pattered With gallauts gay In old world hues. When crowns and kingdom little mat tered. Go. Cupid, sleep; your cheek Is pale; And we can woo among the sages; Romance Is but a weary tale Monotonous from nil the agis. My heart! She comes from yonder door; And time and shadows tilt forever: Why, there was never youth before. And love like ours, oh. never never! New York Tribune. SPONTANEOUS COMBUSTION Some ten years since I occupied aj house that had a small garden entirely surrounding it. The architect who planned It evidently believed In high rooms as necessary for our climate as each story was fully twenty feet from lloor to colling; consequently I could look down from the second story of my house Into the yards and rooms of my ueignoors on enner s (11i(.ultv inil n f.Ct . , . riM . avoid it. The house oi neighbors on either side without any fact, could not well on the right hand. a queer, old-fashioned ailTaiir aifter standing vacant a long time was ait length taken by an odd-looking old man. whom I saw going over It one day, and the next day It was occupied. Not being of a Paul Fry disposition. I paid little attention to my now neigh lKrs; only found them quiet. The old bouse had seal roe more noise ailvuit it than when vacant, and I congratulated myself that some man, with half ai dozen boisterous, romping children, had not taken It. Hut one day an old family servant remairktsl: "Miss Jeanette, dare's somethln' odd 'Unit dem folks what's done moved next door, shore, dore Is, honey; day's ony got a scrumpled up 1 olo nigger for a servant, and she's all a hump behind, and looks like olo Satan for shore; you never see do ole man and do ole woman at do same time; de day you see do ole man you don't see do ole woman, and do day you set de old woman do ole man ain't round, and dey don't p out any no whar, only dat old scarecrow goes do errents." "Now, mammy," said I to her. "you Just let our neighbors alone; they aire decent enough people, no doubt, and you need nut spend your time looking after their oddities; you have enough to do to look at your own." Old mammy shook her head. and. mumbling her words after a petted and spoiled servant fashion, went on with her dusting, and I let the subject rest. My attention lolng thus drawn to the them, I found myself looking out occa sionally from the windows on that side, noticing tho house and its in mates, and sure enough I never did see the two old people ait the same time. Hegularly as clockwork, every alter nate day I would see the old man, then the next day the old woman, but never the two together, just as if they took turns in keeping guard over every- j thing. They were an odd-looking cou- pie, snawy, pane, ami yei puny ami ' bloated; and as for the old negress, she ! was truly a daughter of Fblis, if looks . count for anything In reading charaic- i ter. j One night just alout 11, the old no- gross came rapping at the back gate and asked for me. Old mammy, who had often said: "Dat old nigger next dooh is hoodoo, sartiu," was really afraid of her, and said: "My mistress is jus' 'bout gwlug to bod; you can't see her, nohow, tonight," but tho old negress told her to come and ask me "If I wouldn't please come in for a few minutes; that master was on his day and mistress was took mity haul." As she wouldn't take no, mammy, much against, her will, did come aind deliver the message, and bidding her tell the old woman to go home and have the gate open for me to get In, I hastened to chaingo my dress for a loose wrapper and followed her as quickly as possi ble. I found the old lady lying on a low, narrow lounge In one of the lower rooms. Her husband was not present. She did not seem to notice my en trance, but. lying back with eyes wide open, staring straight before her into open space, a look of unutterable hor ror stamped upon her face. Approach ing her side, I laid my hand upon her forehead. It was clammy nnd had a sticky, cold fooling that was unpleas ant. She did not answer when I asked her where she suffered pain, but moan ed In a pitiful manner that made my heart ache to hoar. "Where is your master?" I asked the old negress. "In his room, mtstiss; dis is his day, and mlstiss day to watch him." "What on earth do you mean, aunty?" "Dls is his day to get drunk and mls tiss day to keep sober, but her last two days she's bin takln' brandy and all at once she laid down thar nnd don' Just like you see her, till I got scared nnd went for you, mam." 'Do you mean to say that your mas ter and mistress take turns In getting drunk?" "Yes, mam, I duz. lie gets drunk one day and she gets drunk the nex' day, but her last two days to keep so ber she's bin glttlng drunk, too, so she's had a whole week. She's bin drunk and it's made her sick, I reck on." Though thoroughly disgusted nnd ihocbel ex such a tale of horror, I still trow to help the hapless woman. "Get some warm water for a foot bath and we will undress her and get her into bed, and then you go into my house and tell mammy to send oue of the servants for Dr. Arnault to come at once." With the old negress help I gave her a bath, undressed her, nnd laid her up on the lounge; we could not get her up stairs to her bedroom; tho low, pitiful moan being all the sound that came from her lips, aud on her face seemed indelibly fixed a look of horror that fascinated me. I could not keep my eyes off of her as I set there aclne with her. While gazing on her I fancied I saw a faint smoke issuing from her mouth and nostrils, and, as I leaned forward, thinking fancy was playing me false, a pale, blue, lambent Maine came cr op ing from the mouth and played over her face and In a moment It seemed to gather over her whole body, the ears, the eyes, the hands, from the tips of her Mugers shot little Mames, the whole body was covered with the Mendlsh thing; the poor woman writhed in tor ture Indescribable, and an odor that was filthy in taiste and smell tilled the room. I could not move. I was utter ly paralyzed with terror, and when the doctor and the old negress entered my room I wais in a dead faint. They told me afterwaird that she nev er spoke, tiie doctor could not relieve her, nor arrest the Maine; water poured upou It increased it, and when the Maine died away there was nothing left but the burnt and charred body that crumbled ln-neatli the touch like so much cinder; and yet, strange to say, the bed on which she lay was not In jured by lire, but covered with a greasy soot that you could scarce wash off. New York News. Mr Walter Scott. The Hon. Mrs. George Fdgcumbe, who has Just died at Florence, was the daughter of Sir John Shelley of Mares Meld Park, ami nearly related to those other Sussex Shelloys of whom the poet was one, says the Westminster Gazette. She was the heroine of that touching little scene commemorated by Sir Walter himself In his "Dairy" for May, 182S: The London season was at its height, and Sir Walter was enjoying his full share of whait he calls Its "busy Idle ness." lie haul breakfasted early, as was his wont with that "good fellow" Hlchardson, had given Chantrey an other sitting for his bust, and had gone to a second breakfast In Chester square, as the guest of Lady Shelley. In the brilliant company assembled to meet him a young lady, the daughter of his hostess, asked him if she might have a lock of his hair. "Too good natured to refused," he allowed Miss Shelley to possess herself of the "thin white" keepsake, and gave her the kiss for which he had previously stipula ted. Mrs. Fdgocumbo would on occasions recall a visit she paid with her father. Sir John Shelley, in the '20s to Ablets ford. One morning, when, after break fast. Sir Walter had retired to his desk to add a chapter or two to "The Talis man." Sir John appeared, radiant, from the Tweed, whence he had land ed a magnificent salmon. At once Sir Walter rose, The Talisman," quite forgotten in what seemed the far more important task of weighing tho salmon. for wnlch the NvhoU, pfirty (Misg S,K, Wy ,K,nK omi) lUwen,h.d t0 the uitch en Sir Walter adjusting the scales and noting the weight with a dlgullusl solemnity the young lady never forgot. Equally characteristic and memorable were her recollections of the delightful evenings ait Abbotsford. when the greait poet and romanclst would un bend In the simplest fashion. Illustrat ing shrewd remark with apt, pictur esque anecdote. On the morning of the departure of the Shelleys Sir Walter conducted his young friend into the library, and, af ter some invaluable hints as to reading, in which history and romance had each their proper part assigned them, he took down a translation of "Ivan hoe" Into Kalian, and, having Inscribed her name in the book, presented it to her. This she always kept, as a re membrance of tho conversation that led up to the gift; and It was her pleasure and delight In after years to watch the Influence of the mighty au thor on contemporary literature.

When Mayor Strong's reform administration of New York city went Into oMlce General Collls was made commissioner of public works. After Van Wyck was Inaugurated as mayor he made the Insinuation that General Collls had boon grossly negligent of his duty. In reply he got a letter from the doughty old general stating that if such insinuations were again cast up on his character he should hold the man who made them personally re sponsible. For fear that the mayor might not understand his Mrst note, ho sent a second, in which he made it plain that he meant to chastise Van Wyck if the offense was repeated.

Admiral Dewey did not look with favor upon their arrival, for to his mind It means impaired ef ficiency in some of his best oilicers. They came, however, and before the outbreak of hostilities between the In surgents and the Americans, dauces and yacht excursions In the bay and up the Paslg river became quite fre quent, even the admiral himself giv ing a large ball on the Olympla. He, however, always maintained his posi tion, and no woman was allowed aboard ship when she went to sea or during the subsequent period when the fleet was in battle array around Man ila bay. One charming young woman, en gaged In newspaper work, drew heav ily on the different ships' Junior ofll cers. It became quite a dally prac tice among the olllcers to, in turn, take her driving in the cool of the after noon. As the principal drives of In terest lay In close proximity to the Mrlng lines the excursion was not without the element of danger so deair to the heart of both oflicers and ven turesome women. The admiral looked on for some time In silence, but event ually mooting the fair charmer one day, reproached her for taking such risks, thinking perhaps in this way to stem the practice so rapidly becoming popular among his men. Tho young woman promptly replied that she was not at all afraid of bullets when pro tected by one of Dewey's oMlcors. "Well," replied the admiral, "if you do not object to being killed I have nothing to say; but I can not spare any of my men." Leslie's Weekly. Yerklon f the IIlMe. No one has kept track of the number of versions or editions of the Hlblc. Attempts have been made, but they hare failed. As some one has said, It Is a pity that some one hasn't copy righted It, for it would have made his fortune. There is a near approach to it in England, however, where the Ox ford university has a monopoly of printing the Hlble, but this is made of little effect by the fact that any anno tations give a publisher the right to get out an edition of bis own. The marked New Testament comes only a little more than 000 years after the Mrst complete translation of the Bible Into English, which was made about 13S2, and is known as the Wycllf Hlble. Printing was introduced Into England by Caxton in 1477, but the Mrst complete edition of the New Tes tament was not published until that of William Tyndale In 1525. The printed Hlble in English Mrst appeared In lu3." and was the work of Miles Coverdale, who translated the Swiss-German ver sion of Zurich (ir24-'2l). These early versions lacked the virility of the King James version. The Bishop's Hlble, published in gaive a familiar pas sage in the Isalms, thus: "God Is my shephearde, therefore I can lack noth ing; he will cause me to repose myself in pastures full of grass and he will leade me Into calm water."

I mot my Mrst love in State street the other day, and actual ly shivered to think that the only thing that had kept me from being his wife was the fact that he had neglect ed to ask me. He is married to a little toil-bowed woman, and when we met he Introduced her with on air which said as plainly as words could have spoken: " A poor thing but mine own. "He was coarse, unkempt, arrogant, and he surveyed me with that slow glance as If he realized that he had overlooked a bargain. Oh, it was in tolerable! I hated him for himself, for his wife, for shattering my Ideal. For ten years I had loved a creature of my own girlish mind. A godlike man, high-minded, gentle, unselfish, and beautiful. That he had not loved me was my sorrow. Then we met, and my idol crumbled at my feet." The girl laughed mrvtmsly and the other women looked at each other.
