Robinson Crusoe was not specially
noted for his marine exploits. But
that fact is stranger than liotion is
exemplified by the appended nara

to this port, iu a littlo 35-foot craft,
drawing but two feet of water.
Captain Slocum is a mollcst gentle
man of about 45 years of age, with
sandy beard and a piercing blueish
gray eye, and would not be likely to
impress one as being the daring, in

"beachcombers" made for us, and
night coming on, I decided to push
on past Bimini. That night (Octo

crossed. The 29th we anchored near
Cape llomain light house. At day
light we saw the bark Heliss, of
tavanger, strandard on the shoal
outside, and stood out to her assist
ance. Two tteamers came and
towed her off at high water that
day.
For the next two days tho Liber

agreed to settle tht matter by fights

room. The men entered the room
and fought desperately for ten min

by friends who had hoard the noise
of the duelists.
Shortridge was found lying on
the floor cut and slashed iq a terri
ble manner, lie could not speak,
and died in a few minutes.
Dr. Nabors, when the door was
broke-i open, rushed out. into the
street. He was also cut in a fright

been made crazy, with pain. lie ran
down the street with his knife in his

him down with his fist. In falling

and he never regained consciousness.
Drs. Sadler and Davis worked with
him until midnight, when he died.

A good story ia gradually
leaking out in Bath society
circles at the expense
of a well known- lady, who has
very recently married. The
ceremony occurred in a church,
and the bride, that she; might
not soil her slippers nor catch
cold, drew on a pair of her'
father's white hose before
leaving the horsj. Arriving-
I at the church, in the excite
ment peculiar to novic2s on
such occasions, the bride for-'
got about the socks in which
her feet and slippers were en
cased, and walked to the front
of the church entirely oblivi
ous of her forgetf ulness. How
ever, all went well until the.
couple knelt at the chancel,,
Here it was that the.keen eyea
of the audience got in their
work, and there were a few,,
among others, who laughingly
espied those white socks in,
close proximity to the shiny
soles of the new boots of the
groom, and these thought the
joke too rich to keep jand so the

that the ton of cotton seeds was a
better ferterlizer and a better stock
when robbed of its thirty-five gal

the hull of the seed made the best
fuel for feeding the oil mil lengine.
And that the ashes of the hull
scooped from the en clue drift, had
the highest commercial value cs
potash. And that, the "refuse" of
the whole made the best and purest

an
of hltv thousand dollars a
year, the Yice-Presidenl thirty
thousand dollars a year, and
the treasurer live thousand
dollars. The president of a
varnish company, who was
introduced as an expert on
salaries, tated that the super
intendent of his compony re
ceived fifty thousand dollars a
year while the yearly business
did not exceed over three
million dollars. Another wit
ness stated that in companies
in which he was acquainted
the chief executive officers re

large corporation who, received
a salary of thirty thousand
dollars a year and twq othei s

for.a cansulatiou with an attorney
of this city regarding some patent
cases. Dmiug the conversation a
match to light a cigar was lacking,
and the Washingtonian remarked
that a piece of ice wonld do. The
New Yorker laughed and was incred
