I ' : i MYSTERY OF KASTlIAMPTOJi!' ? * The time has come when I am at lib- j ertv to make public one of the strangest." stories ever given to the world?a story j bo strange and romantic that if it were J not absolutely true it would be pro- i . nounced unlikely to the verge of impos- i j sibility. Its most minute details have I < been known to me for more than four i * years, but for several reasons it has not j j been permitted me until now to narrate ! them. j i I. It was April, 1S40. forty-five years ago. It was six years before the Mexi-! can war. "Where San Francisco, with t its 350,000 inhabitants, now stands, was c then, aud for nine years later, the little c Mexican settlement of Yerba Huena, * whither a young mau who wrote ''Two ! [ Years Before the Maat" went in a Bos- j * ' ' ' ...:a \ ion silip lor macs. JL?tJUver, mhu ito ! 50,000 inhabitants, was founded nine- { teen years after. We '-make history" so fast in this j country that forty-live years with us : count for more, indeed, in the world's progress '-than a cycle of Cathay." In this sleepy corner of Long Island, however, there has been precious little change for the better, and Easthampton was a more important place than now in this month of April aforesaid. It whs perhaps on just such a day as this?the sea as blue, the air as clear, the sails of the old windmills as active?that a highbred, di^nitied gentleman, about tifty years of age, walked up to the little inn followed by an attendant. In a pleasant voice, and with a Scotch accent, he asked if he could have ac- c comroodations. The landlord looked at ^ him with a certain hesitation. I "Is that man your servant?" he asked, j "He is," was "the reply. j "Well, he must eat at the same table ; with you." "I shall conform to your customs and > regulations," was the smiling answer. For five long veirs did this courtly j gcutlenian sleep in the cramped chara- j bers, breakfast, dine, and sup at the frugal board of this humble hostelry, j Then he became an inmate?fortunate j enough he was to find such good friends ?of the home of the Huntington family, and in that substantial house (it is the fourth from the old Presbyterian church, going south) he spent twenty-live years more. He was a man of marked piety and benevolence, of churni ng manners and j , address, of extreme culture, of rate social qualities. He had been the friend and i' associate of Jeffrey and the literary j giants of his day. He had ample means, ' and remittances came to him through a j chain of banks, ending in a well-known 1 New York house, who denied any j' knowledge of his personality or belong- j1 ings. ; 1 He led a blameless, n, lovely life, in ' 1 this <juict town. lie was the friend of 1 all. the comforter of the atfiictcd, the ' helper of the needy. Books and maga- 1 zincs in large <tore came to him. lie '1 versified the Psalius, and taught Latin to j1 the boys. A blameless and loving life 11 indeed; but a martyrdom, a living death. j j one would have said, to a man of his ; : tastes and antecedents. Think of it! He : remained, an exile, in this town for;; nearly thirty-one years?from early in his fiftieth to the end of his eighty-first year. In all this time he never saw the lace of a relative or an old friend. Me went at first on Sundays to the Episcopal church at Sag Harbor, seven miles distant, but he was instrumental in the building of the little one in Easthamptnn which we just passed; he contributed largely to its support, and he was made a iay reader, and for a long time conducted the ser- ! vices himself. With the exception of ! this church-goin^r at Sag Harbor, the only time in thirty-one years that this remarkable man parsed the limits of the little village was on the occasion of a single trip to Southampton, twelve miles | distant. The servant, a Scotch valet, i went to the West, and married. He I made his appearance at intervals, evi- i dently t<*. extort money from his old - master.'' ti;r? ! jyUIJMg >113 V..11.V W.v ... i this man successfully defeated all at- ' tempts to discover his identity. When he entered the little inn in April, 1840, : the name be gave was John Wallace; ' John Wallace he was to the end. and!1 John Wallace is the name which you I will find, under a cross and anchor, 011 j the plain white marble slat) in that south- i cm cemetery over which the old wind- j mill watches.

As I years passed by, aud the place was more and more frequented in summer by "city folks," curiosity spread, and grew apace. The most strenous elTorts were made to discover who John "Wallace was. One ; man bearing an old New York name,and j since dead, liad the ill grace to threaten ! him. He told liim that the "census mar- ' shal" was coming, and that unleis he told that functionary just who he was, he would be put in prison. After this -_* .u i_,? n interview iuu in..mutton found the poor old gentleman in a pitiable state, and le:irned of the threat just mad?. 'Give yourself no conccrn/' said he. "The 'census marshal' has been here. He asked your name. I told him. and he has gone." But on the night of the 30th or 31st of December, 1870, there came to the door a census marshal who could not be barred out, a messenger who brought at oncc a summons and a release. Mr. Wallace raised himself from his peaceful pillow?there was not even time for him, like Colonel Newcomc, to gay "Adsum"?his head dropped, and his eighty-first year, his lonely life, and Ihe year of our Lord 1870 came to an end together. One can almost fancy that even in the solemn moment when his soul left the weary body there any have come to him a Hash of satisfaction tint he had battled all the curious, intrusive disturber? of his peace.

Huntington (author of a charming ut- ? tie monograph uncut Easthampton and its ways in days jjone by, called "Sea ' Spray"), and 1 should count a pilgrim a_i,rc fruitful which gave liic the pleasure '< of their acquaintance. I found them at | ' ?im ?Jmn ,if mv visit eniovin<r a ' 1 green old aire, loved and respected by I 1 all. They told me much of great inter- I | est about .Mr. Wallace, and among other ! ' things they spoke of finding copies of j ' his accounts (of charities iu his native j I land) with the headings torn off. One 1 had been carelessly torn, and on it 1 ! found u name. I sent this name ; < with a mass of notes to my late I i accomplished friend Robert Mackcn- ? zie, h'si]., of Dundee, Scotland, author of | 1 "A History of the Nineteenth Century," i i and other interesting works. In a few J weeks he wrote me that lie was "on the I ] trail." In a few weeks more he sent me ( s what he properly called '\i very tantaliz- t iug letter." Said he, "I know the mys- . i terv to the very bottom, but?I may not i 1 tell you!" i c Not a little disappointed. I communi- : t :a!ed this information to a'circle of r iquallv disappointed friends.

Oil IMrartrd From n {'onlral Amrr- | icau Inse t -Oil* From liirita and | a Croniillli''* Fail. A resilient of this city who has a pen-1 diant for collecting rare and curious! ?ommcrciai products lias among his co!- j lection many specimens of oils of pecuiar production which are in use in vaions countrics, and which, while enter- j ng largely into the* domestic economy I ind business importance of those coun-j ries. are but little known, if at all, in the | L'nitcd States.

"which can-j lot but become :i valuable article of j ;cnerai coiutuerce as soou as its qualities , ire better known. It is extracted from j in insect which abounds in Central \merica, the name of which is niin. Nat- j iralists have given it the name of Coccus Vdipofera. It feeds on the sap of j i resinous plant of the spondias! 'ainilv, and its numbers in any | ocality are only limited to the extent i o which liiis piant is foun l. The iin- ! KHtance of the insect in the domestic rade of Central America is recognized : >y theextensive cultivation oft he particuar plant upon which i:s existence <ie- i >ends. This cultivation is made easy j yy the fact that a cutting from any part I >f a growing plant inserted in the soil, ! io matter where, at once takes root and ! *rows rapidly to maturity. The niin oliows quickly on the development of i is favorite feeding resources, and the J ilants arc completely covered in every j )art with the insects during the breeding season from the ground up. They hang o the plant by a long beak or proboscis, vliich they insert in the stalk and i tranches. civin^the plant the appearance i >f being driven full of peculiarly shaped acks. The niin is about the size of our j ose bug, and nearly one-third of its; mile is pure oil. The natives gather the ' >ugs in cloths, or cut the plants and :arry theiu with their thousands of insects ittached to the extracting places. The >il is extracted both by boiling in close 'essels and by pressure. The result is a hick, pasty grease, resembling lard ex- j ept in color. It requires a high teni-1 icraturc to melt it to a liquid. The oelting process changes its entire charcter. It is at first homogeneous, like astor oil, but dark-colored. As it cools t becomes light in color and granular, t will not sosidify under a temperature , f ten degrees It then becomes irittle, like suet. A peculiarity; f the oil is that it is not soluble in alcool. It yields readily to ether, hot or old, when it forms an oily liquid, such s you see in this vial. That is the ether olution of niin oil. It is soluble in tur-1 entitle, benzine and chloroform. The urpentine solution possesses qualities j I'hich should be of rare value in the I lixing of delicate oil colors. The com- j losition of niin oil is such that it wili aponify only after long and continuous >oilin<c in the strongest soda lye. "Xiin oil also has a high value as a arnish producer. Melted in a porcelain essel and the fluid kept at a high and ven temperature for an hour or so, durag which time certain volatile properies disaappear, a tough, flexible, varnish j ike residue is the result. It is but I lightly affected by a high degree of heat j r a low degree of cold. It is not solu- j le iu turpentine but ignited with tur- : entinc it yields a th ek. yellow gum? n nli-nrosin in fact?which closely re cmblcs a solution of India rubber. It rill retain a setni-lluid condition for! ays, and its adhesive properties are re- ! larkablc. The turpentine solution of j iin oil, run out in vessels to the depth j f the sixteenth of an inch, is changed j uto a solution varnish which is almost; (jual to shellac, andj liccomes very hard 1 nd clastic by exposure for a day or two 0 the air. The most porous filter paper 5 rendered absolutely impervious to, eater when dipped in the turpentine so- j ution of niin oil and then subjected to icat to volatilize the grease. Garments reatcd in the same manner an- mo-t efectually waterproofed, the coating deying most powerful solvents of oils. "This oil has not been applied to any I (radical use as yet except l>v the natives, | irincipally the Indians and mestizoes of ) he Yucatan peninsula, who use large i iuantit!es of it in mixing the pigments i hey employ, in household decoration ! nil personal adornment. The particular I irightness and transparency of the colors I iroduced by these inferior pigments in lie hands of primitive artists arc dtic to he use of this oil. It is used generally i is a drying oil in other parts of Central America, the turpentine solution being 1 superior mixture for that purpose.

A few days after the young ire hatched tliev become literally balls if fat, and arc described as being the nost curious looking creatures imagin-1 ible. The Indians invade the caves at he proper sea on, which is about this i irne of the year, and by the light of i orches discover the nests and knock 1 hem down with lonir poles, the birds onstructing their hatching place high tbovc the reach of depredating animals, j iVhen the fat is removed from the young )irds there is scarcely anything left but! heir tinv skeletons. The fat. is boiled j lown at once, tires being made at the j nouth of the caverns as soon as the raids >n their nests are over. The oil is run! nto earthen jars. It requires no further lurincation or refining, as its natural! itateis purity itself. It is limpid as you >ee it here. It is used both tor cooking aid illuminating purposes, and has been >ronounced superior to olive oil. It jurns in a wick with a white flame, ivhich emits no smoke. Kven with the larelesa methods of the natives the oil will keep sweet a year. "This." a bottle of thick, muddy | ;rease, "is crude penguin oil.

For the people in sandolas and canoes, so light that they were in momentary dan- j ?rl( ger of being overturned, screamed and ^ shouted to tlie gondoliers to make room I ? for them, while the latter in return bade m, them get out of the way. And all the j . * time those behind cried, "Forward!" and j. those before cried, '"Back!" for they had ! now reached the rope stretched from one i . ^ side of the canal to the other to keep the # course clear, and beyond which the fore- j * ?fliAir if/irlnlinra iiiu:a ^uuuuiin, iuuIIUU IUVI? j)?t down tlicir oars, were soon carried by j ' the crowd behind,pushing and struggling ! 0j for better places.

"A dietro!" cried the gondoliers ! ,v in chorus, but not one would move. ! Then the chief of police stood up in his j gondola and spoke to the people, none of whom, however, listened to what he j said. All were too busy pushing and j ^ screaming. It was almost time for the i racers to reappear, and every minute jjf more boats were being pressed beyond (ji( the bridge. 4,A dietro! A dietro!" j . cricd the policeman, with renewed vigor, j . "A dietro! A dietro!" repeated the gon- " dolicrs. But still no one moved. Then ^ the chief of police stood up again and ^ called out an order to a fireman iu a rear " gondola. The latter at once turned a | ' great hose on the crowd and began "j pumping away at his small engine. A ^ stream of water fell upon the boats. |.. There were loud screams of indignation V and then a rush. Men, women and chil- | P dren scrambled over the gondolas and , ia escaped iniuugu un- uiinun wwu.

Aparimouts of ilic Women?IIayic Spell*. The Turkish house, writes a Constau- A lople correspondent of the San Fran>co Chronicle, is double barreled, so to eak, to allow for the strict separation the sexes. Between the haremlik, or j mien's apartment, and the selamlik, sto habited by the men. there is a blank fid ill pierced by a single door, the key of >*ji licli is only in the pocket of the master bai the house. The selamlik is the official ja. sidence of the Turk. Here he receives n?i i visitors and spends his home business ' ,1U urs, and to its bachclor quiet he re- ^ftl es when the temporary equalities of c conjugal road jolt up his dignity in ^ nanner a little too heavy to be comrtable. But the haremlik is a diHertnt ing. Xo man enters there except the a ( ,-ncr, or an occasional physician. The in who meets the wives of a native cni end in Turkey docs so in the selamlik, lither they have been summoned for 'a.' e interview. But lady visitors, native tll,; foreign, have free access to the apart- 'en nts of the women, so there is little wa llinnliv in (rettint' e\a:st nicturcs of ...!. J O O I - v. U uir surroundings arid every-dav life.The tin irkisli house is usually a large,irregular wii >odcn structure, with a court within, ?tlJ d?where tho master can afford it?a ?h-wal!cd garden rambling up a hill p0. the rear. This of course is a dwell- <iai 5 of a well-to-do man. The poorer in* is=es live as they can in rooms where noJ b sexes mingle freely. Indeed, the a or alone have ' homes'' in the sense in the lich we are accustomed to use the Bel >rd. and the poorer they arc the more k,1< >^cl> do husband and wife come to- "el (her in plans for their mutual support tcj? d enjoyment of life. As the station of dol b husband rises, the wife bccomes wa )rc and more a luxury to be enjoyed alx him only when lie has no more seris business 0:1 hand, until, with the tlie Ifon )tio mninril-v nf bis hnrem never rlvi 5 him more than once or twice during bai 2 whole course of their marital exis- no.j ice. The selamlik is commonly small, Co] ntains few rooms and is usually poorfurnished. To Everything a Turk can spare is spent j beautifying his harem. This is always sjol ge and roomy, with unexpected cor- am rs and windows, and commonly a riv jntain or two pntterins away in the tin rooms. The furniture, in * E,u" I itk pean sense, is uncommonly scarce, the thn Iv approach to it being the long divans lie sofas that run the four sides of the cur am. The walls are usually painted or *,u iscced, and the upholstering is rich th in color and in fabric. The floors ing ; of stone or of polished wood, and are Krc lipcrcd to the bare feet of the fair in- th" ites by heavy carpets and rugs. Tables ^ d chairs there are none. Everybody is tro pected to sit on the floor or a divan, of i d all the meals are spread on the same ett>< el. There arc two bits of apparatus, i wcvcr, that servo to relieve the mo- j101 tony,the invariable embroidery-frame, 1 d a musical instrument that might plj ?ily be the missing link in the evolution . the piano. Outdoors the gnrclens arc jo] rfect masses of beauty, with rare plants ext d shady walks, and snug little summer- dat uses wherever there is a bit of view. <loi id it is hardly to be wondered at that a. ] 3 Turk is so interested in constantly il? ding to the attractiveness of his harein. j-ni ben he enters it and taclcs the door be- mij id him, lie pracrically shuts out every pe and trouble he has in the world. i;bin its inolosure lie is as near a god j lie can ever hope to be. "While there tioi never has to back up against a wall pla d wait, with a humble face and a chaf- j,M r spirit, till some bigger man than he ^ sses by. And if lie wants to exer- nie e his temper by prodding, up a slave the tli a club, there is no one to say him cr? y. Everything dane around him is 0j3 ajected with the sole idea of his grati- ten ution and amusement, and there is no AV< ,vc in Turkey so rash as to venture on Clc ving in a business message to him from I 3 outside world, no matter how press- j"], ? the communication might be. For pja is last is the unwritten law of Turkey, est A.:l Turks are comparatively tarly ers, and gene ally soon after sunrise ip 2 sleepers commence to siir, and then j 3 master of tlic house stretches himself sin d sits up and gets ready to make his is a let.

Some settle clown to the inevitable { sov ibruidery-frnmc, and bend their minds j (lt>? the working of fanciful eolored 9 tterns.

MANY LIVESJN" PERIL rerrlHc Fxplotlon on a Steamboat Sixteen Person* In ured. A Philadelphia dispatch gives the following particulars of an explosion on an excursion steamer that resulted in injuries, in some coses with probably fatal result, to sixteen persons: When the steamer S. M. Felton lefc her dock for Wilmington, Del., at 10 o'clock this forenoon she carried more than two hundred passengers. Opposite pier 8, South Wharves, the passengers an! crew were startled by an explosion which shook the boat frcm stom to stem, and when the smoke cleared away it was found that the entire forward part of tho vessel above the water-line bad been badly damaged and a score of passengers injured, many of them severely. The list of wounded comprised six een persons of both sexes, and several were injured so badly they wore not expected to recover. The wrecked upper works -took fire and a frightful panic ensued. This was speedily checked by the coolness of a number of men, who drove the women and children aft and prevented many frantic women from leaping overboard. Beside those seriously hurt a largo number were stunned by the shock. An incident of the disaster was the prcsenco of some sisters of charity, who seemed in no way excited or affected"by the terrific upheaval. They passed quietly anion-; tin shrieking passengers, searching ou: tho wounded, and in one case one of tho si.sters was seen to mako bandages out of her clothing. The promptness with which assistance came from all sides, from passing steamers and frcm shore, allayed the tmnic and prevent ?d the fire lroni spreading, t seems marvelous that half the people escapod death. Eye-witnesses say that at the moment of the explosion everything became nnvnlnnel in Hnrknfiss and the boat rocked as if in a heavy storm. The official report made to H. F. Kenney, superintendent of the Philadelphia, Wilmington and Baltimore Uailroad company, under whose supervision tho steamboat is unrated, sa}"3: "The head of the boiler was indented ainl cracked about a foot in length. The explosion is believed to have l?en caused by a cartridge of some kind placed under the head of the boiler maliciously," A TRIPLE TRAGEDY.

The engineer felt tho jar as be struck the quartet and returned to the spot as soon as possible. Tho two men wero dead, bnt Mary Granger, with both legs cut off above the knees and her loft arm severed at the elbow, was alive and conscious. She was taken to the Burbank house. She was even then perfectly clear in her mind, and told the story of the accident She saitl: "We did not see the engine backing upon U3 until it had s'.ruck the end of tho bridge. Carney was about in the centre, and Mr. Norton and I just ahead of him, while Bridget was a few feet ahead of us. When we heard the engine wo ran as fast as wo could. I heard Carney scream, and knew he had gone under tho wheels. Ben had in tlia meantime got behind me, and was pushing me along on the narrow plank walk as fast as he could. Another moment and his hand fell away from me, and I knew that ho, too, had been crushed. By this time I was within a foot of the end of the bridge, but just as I went to jump from between the rails the engir.o wheels caught my ilress, and 1 felt a numbness in my legs and arm. I did not know that I had been so badly hurt" Tho young woman lingered 111 agonv for ten minutes and then expired. !

A Poor Wh3at Crop in Minnesota and Dako'.a. The Baltimore Manufacturers' Record, publishes nearly flvo pages of special reports, covering the whole South, from Virginia to J; Texas, showing that the prospects for the . crops and the outlook for business in the South are remarkably good. Not only is the j? aireago of tho cotton, corn and tobacco A \ crops the largest on record, but the .. . ,*f reports are almost unanimous in statins that tho yield of these crops, as well as of the smaller crops, excepting wheat, will greatly exceed the l)est crops ever before *3 produced. It is also shown that the crops nave been made at a lower cost than in any * preceding year, and the liens on crops for money advanced to the farmers is much less ra than heretofore. Regarding corn, some reports say that the yield will bo the best for years; others best v for twenty years, and many the best ever S known. It is thought by the United States commissioner of agriculture that the yield will bo not less than fifty million bushels more than last year. The cotton crop it is believed is safo for much the largest yield ever . > 3j made, and for at least 1,000,000 to 1,500,000 bales more than last year. Of tobacco, fruits, and vegetables, the crops are the larff- *1* cat over made iu tho South, while rice prom- -|fcs ises a splendid yield, and sugar u far more satisfactory ana profitable crop than in 1884. :,Ji Stimulated by the unprecedented crops, liudness :s already showing docided improvement, and the prosposts throughout the South . lor tail ana winter iraue art) rejx>rieu as uuusually good. Wheat in tbe IVorthwcat. A St. Paul (Minn.) dispatch says: . The harvest is completed iu the southern part of this State and Dakota, and is in full '5H swing in the north. The weather has been ;<!|S cool and pleasant, for tho most part, but *3 heavy rain was reported in the Red River valley yesterday. On low ground In that \-g section water is standing in the fields, and -fZ in some places machines cannot be taken into them. The wheat crop of this State is now conceded to be light and of very pcor quality. *3 The latest estimates place the total yield at ao,000,000 bushels, and many believe it will fall below that figure. Dakota will not have - - _i: -ga over 30,000,000 bushels, and it is doubtful if she has that much. The crop so far harvestod ' >1 doesnotturn out anybetter than expected,and ":S in many places in Southern Minnesota the -3 yield will be astonishingly light The best ,'ig wheat will come from the Northern Pacific roads and its branches, and from the Devil's ijfij Lake region in Northwestern Dakota. South- . "''.23 ern millers and others who have been expecting to get their supplies from Southern Minnesota will find it difficult to get as good r-V wheat as tney want The movement of spring wheat has not fairly begun here yet, although a few carloads have been l-eceived. It is not ex- V pectcd that the movement of the new crop will be very heavy at the start un- JEk less prices improve very much, as the farmers of the Northwest are gotting in better condition to hold their ^3 wheat every year, and experience last *50 year taught thein that they made the carry- ;$j ing charges and a little more by holding on. Large wheat handlers are credited with the 'jh intention of Jetting the bulk of early receipts go by here to Chicago, in order to Keep that ' ?3| market glutted and help boars to keep the prices down until they fire well into the Stocks in store at Minneapolis and St. Paul have shown little change during the week, having deerensed only o2,000 bushels at both 32 points. Receipts for the week. were only 155,000 bushels, agaiust 34.1,210 bushels the week before. Couutry o'evators are pretty . :^3j well cleaned out to receive the new crop, and 'yfji all the old wheat yet back is in farmers' hands. Tho elevator men aud the great v3j crowd of grain buyers throughout tho North- .."'*5 west are doing all th?y can to help the down- ~jm ward movement, as they want to start in on ;'4ti tho new crop at the bottom. STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. Thirteen Persona Killed and Miinr . ,% Hurt In an Kalian Farm Hoac. Tcr Cajetani is a little commune of tho Frosinone jurisdiction, near Rome, Italy. One day recently a party of farmers, men * and wom?n, were threshing corn on tho threshing floor in front of the farm of Mr. Ascani at that place. This spot was on tho top of a lihh hill, surrounded by rocks and precipices. There Is no house on the premises, only a little hut, looking like a sentry box at a distance. About sunset a furious storm burst upon the company of threshers. Tho > -J? small building couiJ hardly hold five persons * comfortably in the upper room, and fivo or six more in tho lower one. which is a sort of grotto. Tho laborers, both men and women, hurried to obtain what shelter there was, and those who got in tho building were packed ^ ,3 liko sardines in a box A board was hold. over tho door to keep out tho wind and rain by the shoulders of the men. Many who & could not And room inside stood with their backs against tho walls outside, under the gutters of the little roof. Suddenly a bolt of lightning struck tho little house, tearing tho roof and smashing tho door. The thirty-eight persons who had ' r: squeezed inside were all prostrated- Thirteen ? were killed and twenty-five badly wounded. >1'e iplo who had witnessed the disaster from a distance ran to the spot They found the bodies of the. dead scattered around, whilo * ,'^rS the wounded were moaning and crying for help. The sight was so terrifying that many rnn back again, and tho mayor of tho commune could not find any one who would watch tho coroses. So he had to do it himself. The neighoors were wild with terror. Doctors had to bo summoned from distant places to take care of the injured. Many of ' tho survivors became crazy, laughing, and crying alternately. A.
