What the Sea Cast Up.
BY ABTHUB L. ME8ERVE.
It woh a bleak December night,and
and a great gale woa abroad over
sea and land.
Huge waves threw themselves with
mighty force against the great jag
ged cliffs aa though they would force
them from their foundations, \a for
ages they had been trying to do.
On the land the wind had better
success. Great trees were uprooted,
and the air vas filled with flying
branches wrenched off and carried
along on the blasts as though they
had been wisps of straw.
I twas a night long after remember
ed by the people a long the coast
and spoken of as the great storm.
That night in an old, large, ram.
bling house some half a mile from the
shore, two people were seated on
the hearth, listening apparently to
the warning of the elements without,
for some time had elapsed since a
word had passed the lips of either.
The house seemed somewhat un
stable, and with every blast it shook
and trembled as though it were
about to come tumbling down about
the heads of its occupants.
Strange and uncanny sounds were
heard coming from the room in other
parts of the building, as though un
seen guests were holding high revel
there.
The fire on the hearth burned fitful.
Sometimes it would leap high up the
broad open fireplace as if it would es
cape on the wings of the wind, and
then it would fall down and well-nigh
disappear, save the bed of glowing
embers scattered over the hearth.
The pranks of the fire sent strange
and grotesque shadows danc
ing upon the wall, taking all
manner of uncouth shapes as though
they were holding high carnival
The two figures before the fire sat
speechless and without motion. They
saw not the strange pranks and the
liberty the firelight was taking with
them on the wall. To all appearances
they were utterly unconscious of any
thing which was passing in the room
and unmindful of the warfare with
out.
One was an old man, gray and bent
with years. His hands clutched a
long staff which he had planted on
the nearth, and his eyes wide open,
were fixed on the glowing embers as
though he saw something which fas
cinated him among them. His face
was almost bloodless and as white
as the long thin hair which fell upon
his shoulders.
His companion was a girl of not
more than twenty years even if she
had seen as many. She was beautiful
as it was, but she would have been
far moie so had it not been for a tir
ed, weary look upon her face. It was
a discouraged look, as if all the hopes
of her life had fled away forever, and
what she saw before her was only a
dismal blank.
"Nellie," said the old man, at
length, but at that moment such a
blast struck the house that it would
have drowned a much stronger voice
than that of her companion.
"Nellie,'' repeated the old man in
a louder key, "don't you hear me?"
"Did you speak before,grandfather?"
said the girl, looking up into his
face.
"Yes," said the old man, queru
lously. "But you were thinking of
something or somebody besides me.
It is always so when I speak. .1
might as well be all alone."
"I did not hear you, grandfather.
The wind is blowing such a gale that
it is no wonder. W hat is it I can do
for you?"
"Nothing, nothing," replied the
old man, testily.
'jYes, there was, grandfather," said
the girl, laying her hand on the old
man's knee. "Tell me what it was.
You were at least thinking of some
thing. But listen a moment. Did
von ever know a harder gale than
this?"
Again the old house rattled, and
creaked, and groaned. The wincl
whisjteml if possible more like a fiend
than before, and above all was the
roar of the ocean as if enraged to
think that it could not engulf the
land and sweep everything before it.
"I've known many a bad night
since this roof has covered my head;
nights in which it seemed that the
waves would wash the old house from
its foundation. Alack, it is a pity
that it did not. I would rather that
it would have chanced to do so, than
to have lived so long, and then to be
turned out of it in my old ase by Si
mon Grover. But it is to be, and we
have only a week for it to shelter us.
Could I but have my wish the storm
would lay it low to-night, and fill up
the field and meadow so that it
would only be an expanse of drifting
sand."
"Do not talk in this way, grand
father. You shall not come to want.
You know that I have got strong
hands and am willing to work. We
will find a little cottage somewhere
hereabouts, where lean get work to
do at home, and we shall be happier
than we have been here for many a
year."
There was a pained and bitter look
upon the face ofthe old man. It was
evident that the words of the girl had
brought no comfort to his heart.
"A curse be upon the head of
Simon Grover!" he cried. "If it were
not for him f should not be turned
out of my home in my old age like a
dog. You know that I always
thought that it was he who stole my
strong box, when I was so sick as
not to know what was passing about
me. He sat up with me one night,
they said, and it must be then that
it went, although it was not missed
until days afterwards when I had
come to myself. He stole it, the mis
erable thief, and with it went all my
papers that showed my title to this
house and lands which I had from
his father. They had never been put
on record, as they should have been,
and the lawyer who drew them , and
the witnesses, are dead. Dead, all of
them. All this time he has let us stay
here for an evil purpose of his own.
He has seen you grow up into a
beautiful woman and he has meant
to have you for a wife. But, my girl,
you have your grandfather's spirit.
Better that we should beg from door
to door than that you should con
sent to his wishes."
Thegirl shuddered.
"I could not do it, grandfather,
even for your sake. It would be a
living death to me. I can work my
fingers to the bone, butto be tied to
that man would be horrible."
"You »hall ne* my child. I would
not have you comply with his wishes
for what iittleof life that is left to me.
Still I can't help thinking and speak
of it sometimes, and when there is
such a nicht as this, the impulse to
do soiB more than I can understand,
but we will say no more about it to
night. Let us try and talk of some
thing more cheerful."
And then Nellie, humoring his
whim, did her best to lead his
thoughts in another direction. It
was a hard task, as the firelight
showed when it illuminated her face;
but the old man did not see the look
of pain thereon and how bravely she
bore up trying to carry the burden
that had been imposed upon her
young shoulders.
The hour for retiring came at last,
and after she had seen him comfort
ably tucked up for the night, she went
into her own room. But it was a
long time before sleep came to her
eyes. The house again and again
shook beneath the fury of the blast
as though it meant to level it to the
earth. But it was not this nor the
roar of the ocean that kept her
awake. It was the thought of her
grandfather, and what she was to do
when Simon Grover turned tham out
from beneath the roof that had shel
tered her ever since her eyes had first
seen the light of day.
But at last she slept, and when she
awoke, the low, slanting rays of the
sun, as it arose from its ocean bed,
shone in through the window. The
storm had ended during the night,
and the only sound that met her ears
was the still angry roar of the ocean
as it dashed upon the jagged coast
as if loath to give up the assault it
had so fiercely made upon it.
She gave a weary sigh as she
thought of the long day before her,
and the future that stretched out so
blank and dreary before her. Then
she arose and dressed herself, for she
heard her grandfather in the outer
apartment. Soon after she joined
him with a smile upon her face, and
she was glad to perceive that his
despondent mood of the night before
had disappeared.
About ten o'clock that forenoon as
her grandfather was sitting outside
the door he called to her.
"What if it?" she said, coming out
to the spot where he was seated.
"There is a man coming up the
road yonder. Can you tell me who
it is? Your eyes are sharper than
mine."
"That is Simon Grover, grand
father."
•'That is who I thought it was. He
is coming to harass me again to-day.
Oh, the viper. How I wish that I
could crush him beneath my foot.
But alas, it is he who can do the
grinding now."
"Let him do his worst, grandfath
er. We know what that is and* we
can meet it. I don't want to see or
speak to the villain again, so if you
are willing I will go down to the
beach and wait until he has gone. I
can go down back of the house and
he won't see me if I go at once. From
where he is now his view is cut off."
"Go at once, Nellie. It is enough
for one of us to have to see him."
"I will be back as soon as he is
gone, grandfather. I shall know
when he goes, as I can see the road
from where I shall be among the
rocks."
With these words and a kiss on the
old man's cheek, she ran through
the house and out of the rear door
and took her way to the rocks with
the speed of a deer.
Once arrived there, and concealed
among them, she cast a backward
glance toward the house.
She saw that Simon Grover had ar
rived there and was standing beside
her grandfather. She suspected that
high words might be even then pass
ing between them, and she felt thank
ful that she was not there to hear
them. Her grandfather, she knew,
was amply able to make reply to the
man she so detested, and there was
little need of her being there to help
him.
She took a seat on alow rock a lit
tle back from the water's edge and
gazed out on the troubled waters of
the great deep, which had not yet re
covered from its encounter with its
old enemy the wind. The waves
came rushing in as they had done the
previous day but they were not so
large and violent as they had been,
for now, between the rocks arid the
farthest point of their advance, there
was a narrow strip of white sand
which lay drying in the sun's rays.
From the wide ocean before her,
her gaze came back to this little strip
of sand, and. half imbedded in it, she
saw an object which at once riveted
her attention.
It looked like a small wooden box,
almost stained black by the water,
and bound about by. a couple of
rusty iron bunds.
Evidently it had been thrown up
from the bed of the ocean by the
storm just over.
Her curiosity was aroused by the
sight and she looked about her to
find some spot where she could de
scend to where it was lying.
This she soon found, and in a lew
moments was standing beside it on
the sand.
The lower portion of the box was
but loosely buried in the sand, and
freeing it, she raised it in her hand.
It was heavier than she had thought
it would prove, but she carried it up
over the rocks and was on the point
of laying it down, so that she could
examine it, when, glancing up toward
the road, she saw Simon Grover go
ing in the direction of home at apace
which showed that he was thorough
ly angry.
She "knew that her grandfather
would need her now, and so with her
burden clasped in her arms she at
once made her way towards the
house.
She found her grandfather walking
back and forth before the door, his
face flushed as though his interview
with Simon Grover had been anything
but pleasant. »
"See, grandfather, what I have
found on the seashore. What do you
suppose there is in it?"
The old man started as though his
eyes were coming out of his head, and
shook in every limb.
"It's my box," he cried, as soon as
he could find his tongue. "Oh, Nel
lie, where did you find it?"
"On the sand, grandfather. The
storm last night must have cast it
up. But are you sure it is yours—
the one yoUr papers were in?"
"Of course I am, child. It is the
very box, sent back to me by Heav
en's mercy. Simon Grover, you have
lost the game you thought you won
when you stole this and threw it in
to the sea."
It was no small job to force open
the box, but at last it was accom
plished. Therein was a package of
papers stained by water, but con
siderably well wrapped in oiled silk.
Not a paper was missing, and the
box contained beside quite a sum in
gold.
The day on which Simon Grover
same to take possession of the prem
ises was a day of triumph for the old
man and his granddaughter. A law
yer had been sent for, and their
enemy brought one with him. It
took the two limbs of the law but a
few moments to see how matters
stood with Simon Grover, and at a
whisper from his lawyer he departed,
never to Bet foot in the old house
again.—Yankee Blade.
Striking Facts and Fignres.
The following facts and figures are
not only interesting but encouraging
as they show a large decrease in the
number and cost of strikes, lockouts
and othsr labor troubles:
There were 697 strikes Brad
street's in 1888, involving 211,841
employers a decline from 1687 of 23
per cent. If the number of strikes
and of 38 per cent, in strikers.
Against 1886 the decrease in number
of strikers in 52 per cent. Higher
wages or fewer hours were the causes
of strikes by 68 per cent, of the
strikers in 1888, against 62 in 1887.
Trades union questions were behind
the strike of 17 per cent, of the men
involved in 1888, against 22 per
cent, of the year before. Sympathetic
strikes almost disappeared last year.
About 45 per cent, of those striking
were in Pennsylvania in 1888,
against 32 per cent, in 1887. Only
38 per cent, of the strikers in 1888,
involking 50 per cent, of the whole
number who went out, resulted in
favor of the employes, against 42
per cent, of the strikes and 38 per
cent, of those involved in 1887.
There were 74,837 employes locked
out in 1888, against 46,000 in 1887,
of whom 82 per cent, were successful.
The number of day's labor lost by
striking and lock-out employes in
1888 was 7,562,480 against 10,250,
921 in 1887. If the labor be placed
$1.50 per man, the estimated loss of
wages to striking and lock-out em
ployers in 1888 would be $11,343,
720, against $15,380,881 in 1887, a
decline of 25 per cent.
The Bride's Outfit.
I remember the cime when no farm
er's daughter in the Mohawk Valley
was allowed to leave her father's
nome for another without her dozen
of sheets, pillow-cases, table-cloths,
towels, etc., and a goodly supply of
bedding, feather bed and pillows.
To these was added a cow, and
sometimes also a horse and a few
sheep. Of course it often required
some forethought and good manage
ment when the family was large and
the farm small, but it was no little
pleasure in such cases for the girls, as
fast as they advanced to a marriage
able age, to appropriate a calf or
some motherless lambs, and by care
and coddling raise them in readiness
for the possible event of their mar
riage. Likewise did they have their
pluckings from the geese to make
feather beds and pillows, and the
quilting-frame and spinning-wheels
helped them to the rest. These were
truly homely preparations, but in a
sense that is of far better significance
than ordinary bric-a-brac and em
broidery, which constitutes chiefly a
bride's belonging to these days. I
dare say that not many months
elapse before most young house
keepers wish their finery, »which was
thought so important at the time of
the wedding, could be transformed
into blankets or some other useful
articles. In a home there must al
ways appear a complete background
of the necessaries to make ornaments
show to advantage; and where pro
vision is not first made for the must
haves, there is a small chance of
their receiving proper attention.—

Counting the Motes in the Sunbeam.
Counting the dancing motes in a
bar of sunlight sounds like one of
those hopeless, never-ending taske
with which malignant fairies delight
to break the spirit of little heroines
in the German folk stories. Some
thing more than this, however, has
been achieved by modem science,
which is now able to count the par
ticles floating in any given portion of
the atmosphere, and determine what
proportion of these are dangerous
germs and what are mere dust. Dr.
Frankland's curious experiments
have shown us how to count the
micro-organisms, and now Altken, of
Falkirk, by a totally different method,
has been enable to take stock of the
more harmless but hardly less inter
esting dust motes. Thirty-thousand
such particles have been detected by
him in the thousandth of a, cubic inch
of the air of a room. In the outside
atmosphere in dry weather, the same
measurement of air yielded 2,119,
whereas after a heavy rainfall the
number was only 521. That this
power of prying into atmospheric
secrets will eventually yield very im
portant results must be obvious to
all. Among the most curious dis
coveries already made is the direct
relation between dust-particles and
fog, mist and rain.
He Brought Back the Candle.
Cincinnati has the champion absent
minded man. A gentleman living in
the suburbs went in a store on Wal
nut Street to make a few purchases.
The only light in the store was a
candle standing on the counter near
the money drawer. After making
his purchases he handed the proprie
tor a bill, and, after returning him
the change, the proprietor walked to
the rear of the store to arrange
something, when suddenly he was
left in the dark. He started toward
the counter, and, groping round on
it, found, not the candle, but the
change. It struck him then that
probably the man, in a fit of absent
mindedness, had taken the candle in
stead of his change. He started out
after him, and catching up with him,
he saw that he had the bundle in one
hand and the candle in the other.
After apologizing forthe mistake the
stranger took his change and gave
back the candle.
Signs of the Millennium.
From the New York Sun.
In eleven years from this time we
shall be living in the twentieth cen
tury of the Christian era. Some of
the Christian interpreters of the Bib
lical prophecies have tried to prove
by them that the millennium would
dawn in the twentieth century, and
that mankind would then enter up
on the enjoyment of a thousand years
of universal peace and happiness. It
may be so, though the signs of it are
not yet obvious to the unprophetic
eye.
Getting Square With a Brute of a Has*
band,
A certain little army surgeon, who
was stationed at Bungalore, had
selected a very pretty girl out of an
invoice who had been frightened out
on speculation. She was very fond
of gayety and amusement, and, after
her marriage, appeared much fonder
of passing away the evening at a
ball than in the company otthe little
doctor. Nevertheless, although she
kept late hours, in every respect she
was very correct. The doctor, who
was a quiet, sober man, preferred
going to bed early and rising before
the sun to inhale the cool breeze of
the morning, and as the lady seldom
came home till past midnight he was
not very well pleased at l>eing dis
turbed. At last his patience was
wearied out, and he told her plainly
that if she stayed out later than
twelve o'clock he had resolved not to
give her admittance.
At this the young wife, who, like
all pretty women, imagined he would
do no such thing, laughed heartily,
and from the next ball to which she
was invited did not return till half
past two in the morning. As soon
as she arrived the palanquin bearers
knocked for admittance, but the doc
tor, true to his word, put his head
out of the window and very ungal
lantly told his ^vife she might remain
where she was. The lady coaxed, ex
postulated, threatened and en
treated, but in vain. At last she
screamed and appeared to l>e frantic,
declaring that if not immediately ad
mitted she would throw herself "into
the well, which was in the grounds
not fifty yards from the bungalow.
The doctor begged that she would do
so if it gave her any pleasure and
then retired from the window.
His wile ordered the bearers to take
her on the palanquin to the well. She
got out, gave her directions, and
then skipped away towards the bun
galow, and stationed herself close to
the door against the wall. The bear
ers commenced crying out, as if ex
postulating with their mistress, and
then, detaching a large and heavy
stone, two of them plunged it into
the water, after which they all set up
a howl of lamentation. The little
doctor heard the heavy plunge, fol
lowed up by the shrieks of the palan
quin bearers.
"Good heavens!" cried he, "is it
possible?" and darted out to the
well in his shirt.
As soon as he had passed his wife
rushed indoors, locked, and made all
fast, and appeared at the window
from which her husband had ad
dressed her.
The doctor discovered the ruse, but
too late. It was now his turn to ex

for mercy, rendering none? The la dy

"At least, then, throw me my
clothes," said the doctor.
"Not even your slippers to protect
you from scorpions and centipedes,"
replied the lady, shutting the win

China Losing Patience.
The Boston Herald prints a JetteT
from Mr. Henry Norman giving a re
port of an interview which he waa
granted with the Viceroy of China
last November. We make this ex
tract: "Of course, I asked him about
the question of Chinese immigration
to the United States. 'I understand,'
he said, as nearly as I remember,
'that the newspapers have a great
deal of influence in America. Well,
tell them from me that I ask them
to refer the matter to their sense of
justice. They make professions of
dealing justly with all the world.
How have they dealt with China?
They refuse us citizenship, they suffer
our people to be murdered or ex
pelled by armed mobs, they shut us
out of their country, except under
certain severe restrictions, and then
when we agree to these they break
them off and exclude us altogether.
China has never done so false and
unjust an act as that. Yes, we have
agreed to a good many of these re
strictions, but we shall not agree to
any more. China is able now to take
her own position among Western
Nations, and she will do so. Shall
we retaliate? I cannot say. We are
perfectly able, and the temptation is
great. We shall not submit in silence
to outrage and treaty-breaking, but
I hope and believe Americans will see
how wrong they are, and alter their
recent laws for themselves. If not,
the United States and China will not
be friends.'"
Peddling Coffins;
From a Villette. N. M., Special.
A peculiar old man, known only
as Boxem Brown, has long made a
living by peddling coffins through
this territory. He travels with a
team of mules, a big wagon and
about twenty cheap coffins of as
sorted sizes. He goes thro.ugh the
country calling at each house and
asking in a matter-of-fact way if any
thing in his line is wanted. It is not
often he sells a coffin for immediate
use, but when a family contains an
elderly person or an invalid or a
large number of children, he general
ly suggests the propriety of provid
ing against all contingencies, and
the persons addressed are generally
quick to see the point.
"I know 100 men who have their
coffins in the house," he says, "and a
great many more who bave coffins
ready for other people. One day I
called on aman who bought a child's
coffin of me six years ago. He said
he never had occasion to use it and
he wanted to know if I couldn't trade
him a bigger one for it. That was
right in my line. I traded with him,
and made $3 by the operation. The
only time I was ever run out of place
was ten years ago down at Calaba
sas, where the greasers objected to
my knocking the end out of a short
coffin to accommodate the feet of an
unusually long dead man. They did
not discover what I had done un
til I had started for the next town,
and then they chased me for nearly
thirty miles, shooting and shoot
ing."

Til« Prince and Ik* Par*.
About Lord Tennyson's well-known
horror of publicity it is told that once,
when walking in his own ground«, he
was informed that some enterprising
tourist was looking down on him from a
tree almost over his head. The enthu
siast was soon brought down from his
coign of vantage. The laureate, how
ever, secured a page boy to keep off all
intruders in fnture, he being too short
sighted to notice them. Soon after this
youth had begnn his duties it happen
ed that the Prince of Wales walked
over from Osborne to see Mr. Tenny
son. Arriving at the poet's house at
Freshwater, he asked the boy whether
Mr. Tennjson was in. The boy, think
ing he smelled a rat, said: "And what's
that to vou if he is?" "Tell him," said
H. R. H., "that the Prince of Wales
wishes to see him." The knowing
yonth thereupon, not to be caught,
said: "Yon don't take me to be so
green as that?" and to empathize his
remarks he "placed his thnmb to his
nose and spread his fingers ont." The
prince, however, had parleyed suffi
ciently, so taking the young hopeful by
the collar he placed him aside and walk
ed into the house. —London Globe.

Buay Manhattan Island.
It is donbtful if there is a busier spot
in the world of the same si%e than Man
hattan island. With the year ending
with September the elevated railroads
of New York City carried more than
170,000,000 passengers. And that is a
passenger traffic only 4,500,000 less than
the whole traffio of the German empire
for the same time, with its 18,000 miles
of roads. In France, where there is
more travel, the record is 205,273,340
passengers carried over her 20,144 miles
of road, which is about 15 per cent
more than went np and down in New
York and wandered to and fro in it dur
ing the same time. In this country
during the same time there were carried
428,225,513 passengers over the 149,912
miles of road; but in this were included
the 170,000,000 of New York's intramu
ral record. So it appears'that this traf
fic wits about 40 per cent of the traffic
of the whole country, and it was carried
on thirty-two and one-half miles of
;nirty
track.—Indianapolis News.
A Twenty-Five Foot Giant.
January 11, 1613, some masons dig
ging near the ruins of a castle in Dau
phine, in a field which by tradition had
long been called the giant's field, at the
depth of eighteen feet discovered a
brick tomb thirty feet long, twelve feet
wide and eight feet high, over all of
which was a mammoth slab of gray
stone with the word, "Tlieutobochus
Rex" cut thereon. Upon opening the
tomb they found a human skeleton en
tire, twenty-five and one-half feet long,
ten feet wide across the shoulder and
fiye feet deep from the breastbone to
the spinal column. Each of his teeth
was about the size as those of a horse.
Prof. Silliman regards this as the most
remarkable authentic find on record.—

J. r. Tolaon'a Good Luck.
C adiden (Ala.) Tlmea -Ifawi, Jan. 17.
Learning that J. C. Toison, of the
firm of Toison Bros., shoe and clothing
dealers, of this city, held a lucky ticket
in the December drawing of the Louisi
ana State Lottery, a Times-News repor
ter called at his store last Mondav to
learn the facts. In reply to our question
Mr. Toison said: "Yes, sir; I held a
lucky ticket in the December drawing.
I have just returned from New Orleans,
where I went to get the money. I re
ceived three bills, two $1,000 and one
85,000, $2,500 in actual cash." There
porter asked how much he invested. Mr.
Tolson's reply was, "I spent $10 for ten
one-fortieth tickets. One of the tickets
No. 48 ,085 drew $100,000, and my part
amounted to $2,500," He said he would
continue in business at the same stand
where they lead big drives in shirts,
clothing, etc. Mr. Toison is a happy
man over his luck. He certainly ought
to feel very good on winning such a big
amount of money these hard times.

Heroic Mies Lawrence.
A herd of wild cattle was being driven
through the town of San Diego. A lit
tle child was playing in the street not
far from the spot where the cattle were
passing, when one of the bulls—a huge
creature with large horns—made a sud
den rush at the poor bairn. To add to
the terror of the scene the drover was
tipsy, and in trying to turn the furious
animal he fell from his horse. Warning
yells arose from the spectators ae they
beheld the terrible fate from which, as
it seemed, nothing conld save the child.
At this very moment a lady happened to
come into the street, and the noise of
the tumult at once attracted her atten
tion. She saw the child's appalling dan
ger at a glance, and immediately spransr
into the empty saddle. She succeeded
in catching up with the wild bnll and
threw her shawl over its head just as it
was about to charge the child. She
then, without leaving the saddle, lifted
the child to her lap and took it away to
a place of safety. This brilliant act of
bravery evoke round after round of ap
plause from every one who witnessed it.
