We were lying at Singapore in the biig Albatross, waiting to take on a few tons of freight for Liverpool, when an American named James Granger came aboard. He was a man in the prime of life, tall, stout and handsome, and he had a person al magnetism beyond any man I ever mei His business was with the cajptain at first, and he had a singu lar story to tell. He was a New York shipowner, he said, and had taken a trip to China and Japan in one of his own vessels?a brig called the Red King ?for the benefit of his health. Sire had been cast away eeveral months before in the China sea, and all hands lost save himself. He man aged to reach a small island, and after two weeks was taken off by a native craft and transferred to an English merchantman. A part of the island was sterile aad rocky, and amid the rooks he ono day found a robber's cave. There were, he contended, thousands of ' yards of silk and other valuable fab rics, boxes of pearls, chests of jew elry and kegs of coin. He had count ed out $200,000 in gold without counting it all, and he roughly esti mated his find to be worth $1,000, 000.. He was sure that the stuff had been hidden away for long years, and he discovered that portions had been taken from vessels which had mysteriously disappeared in the China sea years before. It was the cave of a band of Chinese pirates, and the entire band had been lost or captured at sea. He had with him two pearls, a diamond ring and sev eral gold coins as proof of his state ments. What Granger wanted was to char ter a ship to fetch away the treas ure, ard he had boarded us because he had heard that we were to dis charge cargo at Singapore and re- j load for Bombay. He talked with our captain for two hours, and then the chief mate was called into the cabin. The story was all gone over again, and theft I was called down. No man could tell a more plausible 6tory, nor could any one have de- i manded better proofs. The only weak point was that he was no mar- j iner and could not locate his island? : that is, we knew there was no such island as he described within 200 miles of the spot where he insisted it was. *, Had our captain been free to char ter I think he would have taken chances. Had the chief officer not ( been impatient to get home and marry and take command of a ship . I am sure he would have been ready : to sail a craft to the island. As nei- j ther would go, Granger turned to me. If our captain would release me, I was free, to go, and as I under stood navigation he need have no , f?ar that I would hit the spot aimed for. i Sailors hear a good many yarns about buried treasure and pirates' caves, and I was not ready to give an , answer offhand. I agreed to let , Granger have my decision next day j and be went away after swearing us ( all to silence. Then the three of us went over his story in detail to try j and satisfy ourselves. The result was that the captain said : "Well, it is the straightest story I ever heard from a castawaj*, and if , you want to go with him I'll release you. If you get the treasure, you can quit the sea; if not, you will not have lost so very much." j Next day I gave Granger my de- ! cision and went ashore with him. I found that he had plenty of money : and was in good standing with busi- ; ness men. He went to more pains than I demanded to prove his iden tity, and he insisted ou a written , contract that I was to have a gener- j ous share of the treasure. In the course of a week I got hold of a schooner which was for charter and ten days later had fitted her out for the voyage. I saw Mr. Granger two or three times a day during this time and grew to respect him very umcb. He seemed to me to be a very thor ough business man and was well spoken of by a la It was given out that our object was to search for other survivors who might have es caped, and as there happened to be .a. surplus of seamen at Singapore just then I had no tremble in secur ing a crew of first class men?all . English speaking. We cleared for a port in Japan and got away with a fair wind, and during the two weeks it took us to work up to the locality of Granger's island all went well with us. He had 1 located the Island as being about ?0 mil?*s to tbtt <*tst of the island of Hainan. My chart showed u clear sea for 300 miles in every direction, but in those days uncharted islands were heing reported every month and it wu* possible that the bit <>1' land <n; V/IflCh he hud spent ;i month had been missed in the surveys I was not at all disappointed, however, when we failed to find it. We overhauled junk after junk to De toJcl that no such island naa ever been heard of, and when at last I sat down with Mr. Granger to learn what we should do it struck mo for the first time that there was some thing queer about him. He did not betray the disappointment one would have expected, and I thought he glanced at m 3 in a furtive, cun ning way. I ask 3d him to go over his story again, and to my astonish ment he doubled on himself. He had said in the first place that his brig was bound to Japan when lost. He now declared that she was homeward bound. He got his days , and dates mixed ap, and if I hadn't concluded that he was under the in fluence of liquor I should havo thought him crazy As near as I j could figure out from the statements j ho made the Red King was between j the capes of Siam and the Philippine ! islands when caught in the typhoon and driven to the eastward. The Philippines are counted by the hun dred, large and small, and it would not have been at all strange had he landed on one of the westernmost. He agreed with me in my deduc tions, and the schooner was put about and ran to the south for three days. When we finally got among tho islands, the difficulty was in locat ing the right one. Granger had been swept ashore at night. He had land ed on one side of the island and been taken off on another. He claimed to remember certair. landmarks, how ever, and for ten days we threaded our way among the islands, and he took a long a:-?.d close look at each one. His queer demeanor passed away soon after our talk, and I found myself fully believing in him again. No man could havo heard his story and doubted it. He went into each minute particular, and you felt certain be had passed through all he claimed, and back of all were the souvenirs b > had brought away with him. It might have been on the twelfth day of our search that we came to his island; and the find ing of it gave me a queer feeling. There were no such landmarks as he described, ncr was the lay of the ground according to his description. It was a totally different island in size and appearance, but he stoutly insisted that it was the ono he had come in search of. We carried deep water to within half a mile of the beach, and then the schooner was anchored and we pulled ashore in the yawl. This was just after noon on a certain Wednes day. There would be plenty of timo to overhaul the island and get the more valuable stuff aboard before dark. Tho schooner was snugged down and three men left aboard, and it was only when the boat was I ready to set us ashore that I told the crew the nature of our errand. We had come to carry away a | great treasure, instead of looking for castaway sailors, and Mr. Gran ger authorized me to say that each man might look for a handsome present in gold coin when the plun der was safe aboard. This put ev erybody in good spirits, and Gran ger's demeanor was such that I had no doubt of beholding and handling those boxes and kegs within an hour. We landed on a sandy beach, and Granger headed into the forest with out hesitation. After walking for half an hour he began to recognize certain landmarks and said the j treasure was not far off. Just at J that moment we entered a woll beat- j en path and saw two or three goats, j He had never said a word about j there being gaits on the island, but j I did not give it more than a passing wonder. He cried out that some thing had worked into his shoe and for us to keep right on till we reach- : ed the rocks, and as he sat down and began unlacing his shoe we went ; ahead along the path. . We found no rock. We found oth- j er paths and saw other goats, and by ; and by we had crossed the little is- ; land and stood on tho beach. Gran- j ger had not yet joined us, and after j waiting 15 minutes I sent ono of the ! men back. He had not only gone tu : the spot where we left the men sit- i ting, but as far as the beach, and lie ' reported the yawl gone. All my sus picions were now aroused, and the crowd of us started into a run as we ! headed Lack. We reached the beach i to find the yawl gone, but next mo- j ment we sighted lier alongside the anchored schooner. As we were about to hail the crafi j we saw Grtinger and tho two men descend into the boat and shove off ! for the beach. His going aboard \ ahm.; was n matter to wonder over, j but I was thinking he might have a ; plausible explanation when the boat touched at a wooded point running i out below us :md the two men got : out. We could plainly see and hear ; that they werf forced out at the ! muzzle of a revolver. As soon as j they were clear of the boat Granger I threw an oar over and began scull- ! ing her back to the schooner, and i all our shouts brought no response j from him. >?n man but a sailor j could have used that sculling our a* ! lie did, and one and all remarked it. I What sort of a trick was he play- i ing us: Each man asked this ques- I ion of another, but no ?nie could , answer. When he had returned to j the schooner alone, his pretense was ! that he had forgotten something, '< but no sooner hud hi* reaehed the deck than he ordered the men into the boat. As lie was armed and look ed dangerous, they did in>t think it wise ti> resist. Well, here we were, idght of us. ashore on a sm;ill island and an in sane man in posses.-ion of the an chored sehooia r. und a council last ing an hour did not brii g any sal is faction. The man had firearms, and we haa only our Knives, it woma have been no trick at all to swim off to the schooner but for the sharks. Look where you would, you could see their dorsal tins cutting the wa ter, and it would have been rank folly to swim 30 f Get from the beach. After awhile we retired from the beach and took a tramp over the is land. We found fresh water and fruits, but no signs that the place had ever been inhabited by man. The goats numbered fully 200, and the original pair had probably been landed by some whaler or had floated ashore from some wreck. As the weather was warm we were not so badly off, but of course we were anxious about our position. Granger was certainly insane. He could not run away with the schoon er, but he might sink her at her moorings or set her on fire. He re fused to show himself or answer our hails, and when night came I was inclined to believe that he might have committed suicide. Wo made our beds on the grass that night and slept soundly enough, and when morning came and Gran ger still refused to answer our hails we began the work of building a raft to float us to the schooner. This work was carried on around the point; where ho had landed the men, and by noon we had knocked to gether a structure which would float at least four of us. If this raft were dragged around the point, the tide would set it down on the schooner, but we had to wait until 10 o'clock at night to get both darkness and tide in our favor. Then I selected three men to accom pany me and started off. If Granger were on the watch, we were sure to meat with a warm reception, but crouching low on the ratt we drift ed down on the schooner's broadsido and were not challenged. Five min utes after getting aboard wo found him hanging by the neck in the cabin, and the .state of the body proved he had been dead for hours. Who was Granger? I discovered that he was not the New York ship owner of that name. He had been cast on an island, but the Red King was not wrecked. He had proofs with him in the shape of pearls and coins, but where was the island? He had paid a round price to charter the vessel, but seemed to have no other object in view than to trick j us. He had over $5,000 in cash among his effects, and although it was turned over to the authorities at Cape Town they havo never found an heir to it. We believed he had been a sea captain, but the lists showed no such man for years past. No man could say ho was insane, but why did he commit suicidei A score of other questions might be asked, but they would throw no light on the mystery. I sailed the schooner back to the cape and made a report of the case, and though 20 years have passed away the real identity of tho man has not been es tablished or his singular conduct ac counted for. That ho was an Ameri can X am sure, and he seemed to know all about New York, but not one cf the advertisements regarding him in the American papers ever brought a reply. He simply came and went and left a mystery behind j him. Tho Origin of Tallyho. As quaint a mixture of words and interjeetivinal cries as I have met | with is in an old French cyclopedia of li&i, which gives a minute de scription of tho hunter's craft and prescribes exactly what is to be cried to The hounds under all possi ble contingencies of the chase. If the creatures understand grammar and syntax, the language could not be more accurately arranged for their ears. .Sometimes we have what seem pure interjcctional cries. Thus, to encourage the hounds to work the huntsman is to call to ! them, "Ha halle, halle, halle!" j while to bring them up before they I *re uncoupled it is prescribed that j he shall call "Hau, hau!"' or "Hau, tahaut!" and when they are uncoil pled he is to change his cry to "Haul la y la la y la tuyau !" a call which suggests the Norman original ^ of the English tallyho.?Primitive | Culture.

The people make ancestor tables, on which they write j the names of the spirits they wish ! to keep in the tables, and then, be- \ fore them, they burn incense and a kind of paper money which is sup posed to be the money of the spirit world. They also burn clothes and beautiful paper houses, on some of which they spend h year's work.

There are three ways of working placer ground, as the gravel beds or valley bottoms are called. They aro panning, rocking and sluicing, j A pan is a broad, shallow dieh of iron or copper. The miner throws in a shovelful of sand and gravel, fills the pan with water and then with a twisting sifting motion works whatever gold may be therein down to the bottom of the pan, where it tends naturally on account of its greater weight. As he sifts the miner tips the pan gradually and works off the gravai and sand until he sees what is caught in the lower edge of the pan. The pan is a most essential part of the prospector's outfit. It gives him his clew, and it is .easy to pack. A rocker is quite too large to be paoked about when prospecting. It is a labor saving improvement on tho pan, with greater capacity and can be worked with an easier motion. It is a box 3 feet long and 2 feet, wide, made in two parts. The top part is shallow, with a heavy iron bottom full of holes a quarter of an inch in diameter. Beneath this in the lower half of the box is a heavy cloth set in an in clined plane, sloping eight inches in the length of the box, or about three inohe8 to the foot. Sometimes there is a series of these inclined planes, one below the other, sloping in op posite directions. The whole is mounted on rockers like a cradle. When the rocker is set up conven ient to the "dirt" and the neces sary water, ho fills the top compart ment with gravel, and then rocks with one hand and pours in water with the other. When the washing is done, the nuggets will be found in the top and the dust collected along the blanket. Tho finest dust, in grains too small to see, will be in the mud at tho bottom. If quicksilver is mixed with the mud, the gold will unite with the quicksilver to form amalgam. The amalgam, which is like putty, is put in a buckskin bag and squeez ed. Tho quicksilver comes through the pores of the leather and leaves the gold in the bag. The blankets have to be rinsed in a barrel every now and then and the contents of the barrel treated with mercury. Sluicing is the most effective way of all, and is done always whenever there is sufficient headway of water and lumber can be had for making the sluice boxes. Sluice boxes, or troughs, 6 feet by 10 by 12 inches, are run end to end, something like stovepipe. They ta per a little to allow the end of ono to fit into the end of another, or else one end of each box is fitted with a ; collar. The bottoms of the boxes have slats and gratings in them to } catch the particles of gold. A sluice runs from a dam down j along the route most convenient for throwing in gravel from the "pay dirt." There is no rocking or twist ing sifting necessary, as the force of the water stirs up the gravel euf- j ficiently to give the gold a chance to j settle. The men stand alongside the sluices and throw in gravel witn a | strewing swing and are careful to | avoid splashing. When enough gold has collected, \ the water is shut off, the gratings j are taken out and "cleaned up," j ready to begin again. Sluicing is : three times as rapid work as rock- j ing.?New York Press. Necrne? und Cotton. The negroes of the south had the ' best of training in varied fields of j labor under skillful and intelligence ; managers. In those regions where . a diversity of crops was planted they j became expert farmers. It is a gross ! error into which many of our north- j era friends have fallen in thinking j that the negroes are poor laborers. ; They may be wanting in skill, but j it is to bo doubted whether any oth- 1 er laboring population on earth ever produced results from agriculture so large, so constant, so magnificent : and so remunerative. And this is true of the negroes in the south to- j day. When we reflect that upon their labor in the cotton fields millions of operatives in the old world are abso lutely dependent for employment ! and sustenance, t heir value as labor- i ers becomes at once apparent and ] decisive. Destroy the negro labor , of the south and the cotton supply | would be reduced so low that the 00,000.000 spindles of New England and Europe would rust in their sock- j ets and the clank of a million looms would cease. There would lie a dearth in the goods that practically clothe the world, anil a blow would be given to the business world that would shake it from center to cir cumference.?Southern State?

We do not believe that the conn- j try will ever be free from rabies until far moro stringent measures have been adopted. The danger arises mainly from stray curs of un certain ownership and from dogs which, although they might be claimed by somebody, are not prop erly cared for by their proprietors. We should like to see the dog tax in creased in amount, with due indul gence to person who require dogs for purposes or persons who require dogs for the issue of receipts in the form of collar badges, the color of which might be varied every year, j and which would enable a policeman I to see at a glance whether the tax for any particular dog had been paid. If it had not, the dog should be summarily destroyed. By the strict enforcement of such a system we should obtain a state of things analogous to that which ex ists in Norway, where not only is rabies unknown, but where the dogs seen in the street are handsome, well bred and well cared for ani mals, not sufficiently numerous to be the nuisances they often are in London. The Norwegians adopt very stringent precautions with re gard to dogs imported into their ter ritory, insisting upon ample certifi cation of health, and also, we be lieve, upon a period of quarantine, and, even in that most democratic country, we have never heard that the control of canine hygiene is vest ed in local authorities, which would be liable, in this matter, as in many others, to oscillate between unrea soning indulgence and unreasoning panic.?London Hospital. A Korean Procession. The procession of the king was led \ by the general of the vanguard, su- : perbly dressed, supported by retain ers on his led pony and followed by crowds of dignitaries, each with his train, soldiers, men carrying aloft frames of arrows reaching nearly across the road, and huge flags of silk brocade surmounted by plumes of pheasants; servants in rows of 100 in the most delicate shades of . blue, green or mauve silk gauze over white; halberdiers, grandees, each with a retinue of banner men ; rows of royal banner men, carrying yel low and blue silk flags emblazoned; cavalrymen in imitation gold hel mets and mediaeval armor, and tiger hunters wearing coarse felt black hats with conical crowns and dark blue coats, trailing long guns. With scarcely a pause followed the president of the foreign office, high above the crowd on a monocy cle, a black wheel supporting on two uprights a black platform carrying a black chair decorated with a leop ard's skin, the occupant of which was carried by eight men at a height of 8 feet from the ground. * * * After this, borne high aloft by 40 bearers clothed in red, in a superb chair of red lacquer, richly tasseled and canopied, and with wings to keep off the sun, came the king, whose pale, languid face never changed its expression as he passed with all the dignity and splendor of his position through the silent crowd.?"Korea and Her Neigh bors," by Mrs. Bishop. - Daudet, Deodat, David.

"I always feel it a duty to go to funerals and show my re spect for the dead. " The two moved on, but their conversation started a train of thought within me. Is it always a tribute of respect to go to funerals, irrespective of persons, as I am aware this woman does? No matter what the rank of the deceas ed, or how slight her acquaintance, whether private funeral or not, rain or shine, her presence may be count ed upon. It may be gratifying to the vanity of some to bave a large crowd at the funerals of their beloved dead, but to most sensible people the occasion is too sacred and the sorrow too real to care for the sympathy of casual acquaintances. Friends' faces are always welcome during bereave ment, and it is dutiful and beautiful to express a word of hope when most needed and to accompany the stricken ones to the last resting place of the dead. But what about the living around us, who are full of life and ambition, or those bur dened with sorrow none may guess? Why not give them "a glad good morning," or an hour or two of your society at a time you feel they must be lonely? Wait not until death comes and then rush to the fnneral as though you had always been a most cherished friend. I like it not?this custom prevalent in small towns which permits any and all to attend the funerals of those to whom they are almost unknown and whose motive for going is often only curiosity.?Housekeeper. A Simple Developer. "Throw your complicated devel opers out of the wiudow; us? pyro and soda and give your plates a chance. When you find what will develop, use it even if it is green cheese." This was the advice given to me by a professional photogra pher several years ago, and, follow ing his suggestion, I have saved money and secured a greater pro portion of good negatives. Here is the formula as he gave it: In distilled water dissolve sal soda (ordinary washing soda) until the hydrometer test is 30 degrees. In another bottle dissolve sulphite of soda until tho hydrometer test is 40 degrees. To develop, take equal parts of each, and for a properly exposed plate add 8 grains of pyro to 8 ounces of the combined solution. ? find that after a little practice I can measure out the pyro in a small wooden mustard spoon without weighing it, and, knowing the plate I have to develop, make each lot favor the particular plate. For testing I use an ordinary hy drometer that costs 40 cents. In mixing tho solutions, they can be made in such quantity as desired. I have not attempted to give the method of developing or the treat mon t of over or under exposed plates, as this will be nearly the same, no j matter how the formula of a pyro j developer may differ.?New York | Mail and Express. banking Ifltellhreuce. _ He wanted a position in an Austin j bank.
