Ono sultry day I had trampod six or eight ralloe through tho woods to look at my traps, and on my return to camp felt ao warm and uncomfortable thut I decided to take ono of tho boats, row out into deep water, and havo a royal bath and swim. Tho other follows wore all up tho brook trout-fishing, and I had tho wholo lake to myself. I rowed out fully a milo from tho shore, so as to got that grand sensation, which overy udvonturosome swimmer ?can unpreeiato of floating and diving in a hundred feot depth of water. Those who dally near shore know noth ing ubout this sensation. It is llko tho sensation which an oaglo or hawk must havo, poising und whooling, with a mile of transparent air betwcon itself and tho oarth. Great depth of wator buoys a swimmer up?muk?s hfm feel as if he had wutor wings, and oould circle, float und ulmost sloop on the wutor, us a broad winged bird does in the air. When I got into tho doopost part of tho lake, I threw over tho sharp-cor nered stono wo used for an anchor, attached to its hundred foet of stout cord, and proceeded to undress and make my first thrilling plungo. Down, down I wont into tho clear water, till its elastic rosistanuo, liko a cushion, stopped my body und drove it towuru tho surfaco again.? As I omorgod, blowing tho water from nostrils and mouth, I saw that a black storm cloud was coming up ovor tho mountuin behind tho camp ; but as yot tho sun shone florcoly from tho western sky, and I had no thought of giving up my delicious bath for a threatened thunder shower. I dove ropoatedly, floated, swam on tho surfaco and beneath tho surfaco, trod wutor and onjoyod mysolf in tho most luxurious fashion. Finally I started and swam a hundrod yards or so away from tho boat, with tho inten tion of seeing how many times I should havo to como to tho surfaco in retrac ing my course under wator. As I camo up after my first dive I noticed that that fresh breeze whieh precedes a storm was beginning to wrinkle tho lake with littlo waves, and deemed it best to got back to the bout as soon as Jiosslblo. But I was surprised to see low much farther away tho boat looked than when I first started to return to it. It really scorned a quartor of a mile off now, but supposing this to bo merely an optical illusion, I swam on with loisurely strokes, thinking to roach it in a few minutes. But after I had boon swimming for livo minutes, and tho bout seemed, if anything farther away than when I started, 1 bet an to suspoct something was wrong, and forgod ahead at tho top of my speod. All this while tho breeze was freshen ing, tho wrinkly waves were increas ing to small rollers, and 1 could hear the thunder muttering and rolling over tho hills behind mo. Suddenly tho truth Hashed 001*088 my mind that tho stone anchor whieh held my boat must have slipped from its loop and tho boat was drifting away from mo Tot-"n,, [oowasinit > speed ! It was a ''"V-? ?Oartling and disagreeable to say tho i^?Mt.. Out in the tho lake with ono ofvl.o. '"i'ing coming on, '*? *? ??> on every ttub of a tall and must have given it >omo painful wrenches, as the rollers tossed mo to and fro. Just as tho fury of the storm was abating we got into shallow water and once in a while I could feel my feet touch bottom. I held on, however, until the shore loomed up in sight through the rain, and then cast off from the bear with an audible " Thank you, old fellow," and lot him make his way to land first. I saw him emorge, dripping, from the water, climb the bank and disappear in the woods. For several minutes, however, I stood waiting, waist deep in water, until tho coast could be safely clear. Finally I vontured ashoro and lay down to get my breath and recover from my ex haustion. As soon as I folt able to walk, I started for camp around tho lower end of tlio lako, und reached its shelter just as the othor fellows, dronohod with their long walk through tho woods, camo in from trouting. I told them my story, but thoy thoughf I was guy ing them and rofusod to bolievo me until noxt morning. I went out and snapped both of my boar traps and hurled thom in tho woods. Thoy know I was spoaking in earnest when I had said that I had made up my mind novor to kill a bear, until bo first) tried to kill mo.?Chicago Tribune. TIIIO DOLLAR OF OUR. DADDIES Homo Fnets an to tho History of Silver Money. Tho silver dollar, which is again a disturbing oloment in tho financial prosperity of tho country, seoms to have hud a lot of troublo in its day and generation, und it is now getting buck at tho United States treasury with alarming persistency. Sumo of tho facts concerning it uro of immcdlato Interest und will boar summing up. Hero is tho chronological history of tho silver dollur; Authorized to bo coined, Act of April 2, 1792 ; weight, 110 grains; fino noss, 802.4. Weight changed, Act of January 18, 18117, to 412i grains. Fineness changed. Act of January 18, 1837, to 1)00. Coinage discontinued, Act of Febru ary 12, 1873. Total amount coined to February 12, 1873, $8, 031, 238. Coinage reauthorized. Act of Feb ruary 28, 1878. Amount coined from August 1, 1878 to Deoombor 81, 1887, $288,205,357, (in eluding $1, 837 recoincd.) Total amount coinod to December 31, 1881), $8.17, .109, 239. Tho first silver dollar was put in circulation in 1704. "It was a crude design," says a his torian. "On the obverse, or faco of the coin, was imprinted the head of a young ludy fuciug to tho right: Her hub was flowing to such nn oxtent that sho looked as if taken in a galo of wind." In^jJUO Congress stopped in to tho aid of tho typical damsol and tied her hair up with a bit of ribbon. Tho fifteen stars were after this re duced to tho original thlrtoon In re cognition of tho number of States. In 1830 tho dosign was again ohanged, and tho silver dollar boro tho full figure of a neatly dressed woman in a tlowing garment. Tho designer forgot, ho wo vor, to put in tho thlrtoon stars and the coin was soon culled in. Any person now in possession of one of those dollars has u valuable souvenir. Tho now design bud tho ludy sur rounded by tho stars. It wus un im provement on its predecessor, but tho air of tho female figure was defiant and stilY. The dollar of 1838 was tho first art istic pieco of silver coined by the Uult Jed Statoo ' ' l< - ?????? A?\UT YK KOITOR'S Dili:AM. I dreamed the other night that 1 died and went on high, To the heavenly mansions far above the blue ethereal sky. Old Peter, standing at tho gate, in quired what I had been ; " An editor," was my reply ; said lie, " Come right straight in." And then, it seemed, I started?having nothing else to do? A bright and spicy paper called " The Heavenly What is New." I ran across reporters by tho dozen, oven more; As for printers, they applied for work by the everlasting score. m Tho " Personals" were plenty ; got 'em early, got 'em late Just kept a shorthand angel interview ing at tho gate. " Sooioty notes" wore oasy, too, tho simplost sort of things, Whero costumes just consisted of the M newest fads in wings." Subscriptions came like sixty; "ads" were abundant, too. But just before we went to press 1 heard a great ado ; In came tho foreman, frothing, and said he, "Your head ain't level; Howdy'o expect to run this sheet when we haven't any devil V" VAN BUHEN'S SPECIAL SESSION. How Congress Pulled tho Country Out of a Hole In 1S37. On tho 15th of May, 1837, while Grovor Cleveland was lying in IjIb erudle an infant, lacking threo days of being two months old, Martin Van Buren, ono of his Now York predeces sors in tho Presidential chair, pro claimed a special session of Congross for tho following 4th of Soptombor. That session was called that provision might be mude to allay tho financial panic that hud commenced Immodlato ly after Vau Buren's Inaugui'atlon, and that such moasuros might bo adopted as would restore public con fidence. Tho conditions thatdomandod that ex traordinary session wore nearly similar to tho conditions that havo domandod tho present extra session, though in somo respects they uro not entirely parallel. Thon as now tho country had ox poiionoed u succession of "booms "In speculative enterprises of all sorts, and there had been a frenzy of investinont in Western lands, in "cotton lands," in canals, in wild-cat banks and in all sorts of reckless gambling adventures. There had been a surplus in tho Gov ernment treasury of somothing like $40.000,000, and while this stimulated jobbery and extravaganco on the part of Congress, it became also a matter of distrust to patriotic statesmen, but no better scheme could be suggested apparently than that of depositing it among tho States according to their representation in Congress. A measure of this sort was passed in 1836, and by it tho surplus in tho treasury was to bo delivered on deposit to tho Stato Governments in four instulments. Tho money was in tho State banks, and of course had boon more or less loaned out. Throe instal ments were paid, but before tho fourth was duo the banks all over tho coun try suspended and tho crash came. Tho Genorul Govornmont instead of having a surplus found Itself with a doticit, and Congress was called that moans might bo provided to save it from bankruptcy. It was a a group of historic statesmen that assembled at that first session of the 25th Congress. There were in tho Senate Webster, Clay, Calhoun, Beaton, Silns Wright, Buchanan, Franklin Pierce, John J. Crittenden and W' C. Preston, a gallant South in, n'i of whom are and long will bo. 3 wore John Quincy Cilloy?remembered diappy duel a year Wise, l.i. M.

Special ?There is a fair chance that South Carolina will havo a Democratio Col lector within the next two weeks. Tho papers for nearly all the other States have been sent to Buzzard's Bay for Presidential inspection and Mr. Carlisle thinks that the papers in the South Carolina caso will be the next to | be called for. Tho indications are that Ben Perry will be tho lucky man. A strong fight has been made against him, but he has fought hard back. While the other candidates havo left their cases in tho hands of their friends, Perry has re mained in Washington looking after i his own interests. Next to Perry, Mr. , Daniel Thompkins has possibly the I strongest showing. Ho is backod by Senator Irby. and tho President has repeatedly said that this ofHco belongs to tho Senators and thoy will havo tho appointment of the man. Lucas and Bratton have scattering endorsements, but neither of thorn arc sufficiently strong to turn tho Senators down. Representative McLaurin scored a hit with tho onomies of Cleveland in his speech on Mend ay night. Ho dealt with tho President with the gloves off. Ho arraigned him for breaking his plodgos and challenged his Democracy. It was the most ultra anti-Clevoland speech made sinco the extra session opened. Tho speech was unfortunate In one respect as Mr. McLaurin snoko as if reprosonting the whole State on the subject. It would lead one to think that tho entire State was opposed to tho President. As a free coinage oration, however, it was forcible and had its offect on tho avering. Ho almod his blows well and struck 6quaroly from tho shoulder. Captain Shell's accident cloarly ovinced ono thing, that ho is not only rospectod in tho Houso but dooply loved. There is scarcely a Representa tive who has uot called to inquire after his condition, and the morning after tho accident the tenderest ex pressions of sympathy wore hoard on every side of the House. Captain Shell, with tho exception of Major Brawley, stands closer to tho Presi dent than any othor member of the delegation in tho House, and will got about as much in tho way of patronage as tho Senators thorasolvos, while his opinions are always taken by Speakor Crispi in all mattors pertaining to South Carolina.?Columbia Journal. ?Hero is an original snake story which comes from Rome, Ga. Mr. Hughes bought a small sized rat trap with an opening but no oxit. It was "jhtly closed, and could hold only a few of tho rodents. Tho first night ho caught a good many ; tho next night ho woko up, hearing a groat commo tion in the trap. Ho supposed he had ono or maybe two large sized murines, and1 without striking a light made his way to tho trap and pioked it up. He could feel what ho thought was a rat, and tondorly lot his hand Ho against it. When he made a light he still folt tho moving body, and glancod toward it. As he did so ho dropped tho trap. Whether he yelled or jumped out tho window will ovor remain a Bocrot buri ed deep in his bosom. To put it gently, ho was surprised. What ho had so tenderly allowed to rub him was a ground rattlesnake With great courage and tho reptilo in a cage he succeedod in ending its ex istence.

The moat familiar objects about us are often leust under stood, and probably few can answer Die question, "What is gum arable, and whence does it come?'' In Morocco about tho middle of November (tbut is, after the rainy soasou) a gummy juice oxudos spontaneously from the trunk and branches of the acacia. It gradual ly thickens In tho furrows down which it runs, und assumes tho form of oval and rounds drops, about the size of- u pigeon's egg, of dlTerent colors, as it conies from the red or white gum tree. About the middle of December the Moors eiicump.on tho borders of the forest, and the harvests last a full month. Tho gum is packed in large loather sacks, and Is transported on the backs of camels and bullocks to seaport for shipment to different coun tries. The harvest occasion is made one of great rejoicing; und for the time being tho people almost live on the gum, which is nutritious und fpt tening. Such is the commercial story of this simple but useful article. Fits, dizziness, hysteria, wakoful ncss, bad droams and softening of the brain quickly ourod by Magnetic Nervine.
