SPOOL? COTTON,
ESTABLISHED 1812.
GEORGE A. CLARK,
SOLE AGENT,,.
400 Broadway, oNT- a
The distinctive features of this 8pool Cot
ton are ihat it is made from the very finest
SEA ISLAND COTTON.
It is finished soft as the cotton from which
it is made ; it has no waxing or artificial fin
ish to deceive the eyes ; it is the strongest,
smoothest and most elastic sewing thread in
the market ; for machine sewing lr has no
equal ; it is wound on
WHITE SPOOLS.
The Black is the most perfect
JTTEJT BZjACK
ever produced in spool cotton, being dyed
by a system patented by ourselves, ine col
ors are dyed by the
NEW ANILINE PROCESS,
rendering thetn set perfect and brilliant that
dressmakers everywhere use them instead of
sewing silks. A Gold Medal was awarded
this thread at Paris 1878.
We invite comparison and respectfully ask
ladies to givo it a fair trial and convince
themselves of its superiority over all others.
To be had at wholesale and retail from 1.
H. GATLIN, and at retail from all flrst-ass
dealers in ury uooas ana .notions.

Miss 51$ Darling, the actress,
who has just returned from her
European fcoar, gives the following
dramatic account of the misfortune
that attended her visit to the Catas
combs of Bar is :
:t tsirelhirtjtonoy nraa.
the party. Regardless of the gaido's
injunctions that we should keep to
gether on the penalty, of getting
lost, I wandered, unobserved by
any of my companions or the guide,
into a transverse gailery and after
leisurely deciphering the several
inscriptions that attracted my eye,
turned to .jnake an- exit j&sd rejoin
the pa?tyi, aV IX turned in the
wroDg direction aiidrdid iiot dis
cover my mistake until I had gone
some distance. Positive, at first,
that my cuurse wis correct,-1 hur
ried on without giving an alarm.
As soon, however, as 1 realiaad that
I was indeed lost you may be sure
that tny voice was exerted asJonly
a woman ia distress knows how to
exert hr- voice. I retraced my
steps in as much of a run as the
flame of my candle permitted, paus
ing at ev,3Ty opening I passed to
call and listen. The echoes of my
calls were- simply fiendish in the
way they came back to me. They
were far from human in tone more
like derisive howls uttered from
the cold, grinning skulls that wero
staring at me on every side with
their hidepus, sunken eyes, ls
these echoes only added to my trib
ulation I refrained from calling any
more. My voice was gone, at any
rate. The ghoulish atmosphere
seemed to defy any effort above a
hoarse whisper. Thus I wandered
from one gallery into another, into
caverns and out of them and back
into other galleries again, and all
the while going further and further
into thss most dangerous section of
the Catacombs, wherein visitors are
never conducted. I wandered this
way for nearly two hours. The silence-was
so oppressive that even
the squealing of rats would have
been welcome, but the Catacombs
are singularly free from this ver
min. So long as my candle held
out 1 kept heart and did not des
pair. When its flame began to
flicker and grow weak I lessened
my pace and carried the candle
closer to the ground to enable me
to avoid the skulls and ribs I was
constantly stumbling over. The
grond was so pasty it held my feet
so firmly at times that I imagined
some unearthly crawling creature
was attacking me. I emerged at
last from & narrow gallery into
what I thought was an enormous
chamber, but ita darkness was so
black that 1 came to a standstill
on the threshold, as it were. I
could not distinguish either floor or
ady
familiar skui s or bones.
The at-
mo?rhere va.-; r pntor
i:.i!s -
what I had yet ex; . H'-i c a j;,
place.
"ALAS, POOR YOKICK I
'I don't know what prompted co
do ir, but I picked up a skull and
threw it forward into the gloom in
front of mo. To my infinite tor-
ror I did not hear the thud of the
skull upon any ground until after a
few seconds, and then I heard it
away beneth me, accompanied by
a mumed rattle as though the Bkull
had fallnjn on and disturbed a pile
of others: at ?he bottom of a great
jh8een pic. 4nd pit it was over
one hundred and htty teet deep 1
was afterward told. Two- or three
step3 more and I might have 'gone
headlong down. 1 turned to go and
die somewhere else ; bnt as 1 turned
the light of my candle expired,
and nature gave way. 1 faint
ed within three feet of the edge of
that awful abyss. The chilliness
of the air revived me after awhile.
I opened my eyes. Was I blind ?
for I saw nothing. I threw oat
my arms, pnd felt only the slimy
mud in which I was lying. I turn
ed my head and my cheek rested
against a clammy skull. Oh ! my
God how I prayed for death. Once;
more 1 became unconscious, and I
lay for ! eighteen hours insensible.
It was fortunate I fell where I did.
Had 1 fallen in any of the galler-j
ies restricted to visitors I might
have lam undiscovered thirty days,
for. as i you are aware, the Cata
combs are on public view only once
a month. As it was I fell at a spot
frequented by the workmen dailyj
era ployed in the place. The pit
near me they used as a dumping
hole for refuse bone litter. Had 1
tumbled into that pit my body
would have been covered up with
tons of ghastly dumpings before the
search for me. would have been ex
tended io the awful, hollow."
RESCUED BY A WORKMAN.

in ' the direction of , the
sound. My face, clothei and arms
were so besmeared with mud that
he could not 'locaterl ma. jintiElI
groaned again. ' I must have been
a frightful object, with my hair all
matted with the slimy earth and my
eyes wide open upon him appeal-,
ingly. But he was a courageous
fellow to return my fixed gaze and
merely matter to himself, 'Suicide
and dead !' As he stooped oyer
me I managed to touch bis foot,
whereupon he atarted i;np, , .lit-a
spare, candle, placed -.it on" the
ground beside me, and tjien hasten
ed away. ''Oh, has he ..abandoned
me without killing me ?.; I cried to
myself. ,L swoonod again. When
next I revived I found myself being
tenderly carried by stalwart hands
up the steep main entrance steps
down which I had descended so
many hours ago. Although I was
perfectly conscious of the fact of
my rescue I did not- manifest the
least sign of life ; hence the news
paper reports to the effect that I -
had been found dead. It was ten
o'clock in the morning when I was
rescued ; 1 had been lost' in the In
ferno of Paris sinco two o'clock the
previous afternoon." ,
ALARM OF HER SEARCH.
"Had there been any search for
you instituted in the meantime r
the reporter inquired.
"JNone whatever, the actress
rejoined. "My companions knew
nothing of my misfortune until they
read in the next day's afternoon
papers. There were so many of
us, and we had been independ
ent in our movements in the Catas
combs, lagging behind or distan
cing each other, and dispersing un
ceremoniously upon regaining terra
firma, that my action could not
have been definitely noted. My
family were ignorant of my haying
gene to the Catacombs. I met the
party on the way there and was
persuaded to join them. There was ,
of course, no ' little commotion at
my hotel when I failed, to return
that evening. The police were no
tified and preparations made to be
gin, the next morning, to drag the
lliver Seine for my remains, on the
suspicion that 1 had been waylaid,
robbed and murdered and tny body
cast into the river. But the intel
ligence of my rescue obviated that
intention."
Miss Darling here brought from
an adjeining room the' once hands
some dress that she wore, on that
eventful night. It was stiff and
caked with mud, and irretrievably
ruined. : ; - ; , -
"This adventure of mine," tHe
heroine concluded, "ia.not likely to
befall any one else in the futurp,
for the guides have since been inn
structed to count their parties in
escort at certain points in the Cats
acombs. Some years ago-a'gentle-man
went astray just as I did. He
was found dead two hours subse
qently. 1 cannot conceive how9 X
survived, for I used to be a fearful
coward. If anything, the mishap
has made me bra?c'r.bat not by any
