Let me recall a trifling incident of My
shipboard Ufa—an experience small and
brief, indeed, hut vividly fresh and of
clearest and keenest outline in memory*
We were on the Afosambique parallels,
well to ths eastward; the wither hot,
the sky oopperish and the sea of a sal-
towiah blue, w+th a thick, slow flow of
swell as though the water was heavy
and sluggish with oQt a weak breeze of
wind blew off the port quarter; with a
sort of stingheat in it. like the bite of
the sun himself; and the ship under all
stnddingsaiis on that side went rolling
forward in a kind pf loathing way. ns
though alive to the trucks with instinct:
and I very well remember (he plopping
noise of the water as it fell from h^r
how like flinging bucketfuls of liquid
grease overboard.
It was about 8 o'clock in the after
noon when the thickness over the star
board bow died out along the horizon
there and showed the opaline clear to the
edge of the ocean, with a twisting and
glancing of yellow fires in it from the
sou. as tbough lines of molten brww were
slowly sinking in ik (t was than that a
Sfil Bras made out some three points on
the bow or thereabouts, apparently a
large ship, showing to her evurses with

As we slowly mas she showed like a
frigate apon the water, with her hand of

I see that ship now as I saw he* then;
her canvao bad the whitenaw of froth
touched by inuooshine; ahe ruea and fell
very majestically, her |s>rta bristling
and fading aa ahe leaned to the heave ■ «f

which 1 furtively employed on the mate !
taming his hark, 1 could distinctly

strolled forward oa to the forecastle to |
watch the very noble picture on the sea
line that wa* rendered sigmticaiit beyond
expmwtou by her appealing colors and
by the mutilation of her shaft A group
of cor Jacks stood against one of the
catheads, gazing too. I had not been
looking above three minntea when one
of them exclaimed in a hoarse voice;
'* What, the blazes! Is that there mock

Spoke, and sure enough i observed her to
be slowly melting oat, not as though a
fog were driving down upon her, but aa
a rainbow dies, the tints shining and
fadiqg and perishing, in a few mo
menta all was blank sea where she had
been.
There was an expression of dismay on
every wart-ridden, whiskered face 1
glanced at The captain, thee mate and
number of passengets were moving and
moping like goblins over the brass rail
at the break of the poop in Sfearch of the
amazing phantasm. It was, of course, a
mirage: hut it took all hands, from the
akipper down to the cook’s mate, some
time to realize it, so marreloua had been
the illusion, so substantial to the vision
that rolling and stately fabric, so exqui
sitely hod the painted mirroring of her
fitted the line of the sea. With some
fancy that the real object could not be
far off, the captain- continued to head in
the direction Im Which the mirage had
shone uatH the darkness came, when the
ship was brought to her eonrte afresh.
A few days before ve sailed from Cal

sel She had been some leagues below
the horizon on which her likeness was
painted, signaling for assistance to «n-
ethar ship seven or eight miles distant
from her. Had the qeahtr ef the at

Ipnger, no doubt we should have brought

not without a certain interest as betray
ing a Jaintm table but by no meaus rare
ignorance of the simplest Scripture
knowledge I was sent for by the
mother of twin boys, and soon arrived
upon a scene of the utmost squalor, dirt
and destitution. A three legged table,
a rickety chair and a bed on the floor
comprised all tin* furniture. .Dirt reign
ed supreme, and the ashes from the fire
place reached half across the floor. The
woman, with matted hair and a squint
which ipve her an evil expression, feared
her babies would die, and had at least so
much knowledge of Christianity as to
desire baptism for them.
~ When asked to name them she said
Chftt a* they wore twins she would like
them called Cain and Abel, whom she
supposed were the twin brothers of our
first mother. 1 pointed out her mistake*
and remonstrated, moreover, open the
name of Cain as unfit and of evil omen.
She knew absolutely nothing of the
fratricide. A girl of ten in the room,
upon my refusal of Cain, exclaftned:
“Have it mother!" I chose, how
ever, the name of David and put an end
to the discussion.—Cor. London Tit-Bits.

The Ballet Gift*’ Headquarter*. —
The most curious of all the agencies
is certainly the balled girls’ agency.
Thejre come alT the dancers of the conti
nent, and from thence they are shipped
off all over the world. The ballet is
considered to be in its decadence, but
that is a great mistake. There have
never been so many dancers as there ore
today. Perier hn 8,000 addresses on his
list The agency is an odd right when
the engagements are being made.
The rooms themselves axe on the
ground floor, three woe closets Into
which scarcely a score of people could ba
crammed; but the courtyard is large,
and into tin* there crowd some skty oa
eighty ballot girls, jdUy, noisy creatures,

Denver, Sept. 14.—Passenger train
814, bomni toward Denver on thoGray-
ment division of the Union Pacific rail
way was wrecked near Beaver Creek
station, and twenty-five passengers in
jured, five of whom will probably die.
The train was late and running very
rapidly. When rounding a sharp curve
the express car left the track and rolled
down a tiftoen-foot embankment. It
was followed x>y the mail and two pas
senger coaches, one of which turned
ever twice before reaching the bottom. *
The, train was loaded witE passengers,
many of whom were Knights of Pythias
returning from /the Knights of Pythias
state convention which was hold at As-
pe^brit week.

femrevnxE, Ga., Sept. 11.—The mur
der of Mr. Alfred Kennedy of this
county, has been explained. Ho was
decoyed from home by a letter last
Sunday week, and when his body was
found, it was in a creek eight miles
from Ms home, in a terrible state of
decomposition, with his right ear cut
off. There is a terrible gang of moon
light distillers in the region where ne
was'killed. Detective Kfllebrne disap
peared in that same region about two
years ago. Both of his ears were cut
off and sent to parties in this county,
oue of whom was Mr. Kennedy. II
will take fine detective work to break
np this gang, as they are well organized.
If the-governor will offer a liberal're
ward for the perpetrotors ot the crime
they may be captured. The citizens
have offered a reward of -fSOTfor the
guilty parties. That is insufficient, for
no detective is going to risk his life in
that section for that amount*
