Tin driver, however, heedless of the hint kept to a very gentle trot. "I say, 1 say, my man," exclaimed the fare, with his head out of tin window, "drive faster than this."

SERPENT ENTERE _J ouble Murder Done in the Horn First Serious C For tho first time in all its romaut istory, Pitcairu Island has been tl oho of a murder, says tho New Yor ress.

All the in habitants of the island are desendant of the mutineers of the Bounty and c native women found there, except on 1 family, and that is a fuinily the hea of which is named Cofliu, and, c course must have sprung from Nan tucket. There are 141 souls on th island, and the families are tive i number. They are the Christians, th Youngs, the McCoys, the Buffets an the Collins. The president of the isl and is named McCoy. The Queeu c England is the "over-lord" of the isl aud, aud in the island church is a organ which she sent out to her "lo> ing subjects of Pitcairn Island in aj: preciatiou of their domestic virtues, according to the silver plate on th organ. But England seldom iutei feres with anything concerning th Government of Pitcairn. When Christian liad confessed hi crime, however, President McCo called a meeting of his "parliament, and, as there was no precedent b which to be guided, it was deciTled t imprison the youug man and appei to Etiglaud to seud out and try him So the man-of-war Royalist was sen ? to Suva in the Fiji Islands to get th d British "Judicial Commissioner fo the Western Pacific."

They did not | descend to the village again until not only the coast, but the offing, was well clour. But men and times are changed now on Pitcaim, and a visiting ship is warmly welcomed. The Parliament House of tho island is interesting, because in it is some ^ timber taken from the Bounty. This building has for windows two rows of portholes, which give it tho appearj. ance of a stranded ship. The house in which the president lives is the best I one on the island, and is called tho ' White House.
