' Assuming that we are walking on the ocean bottom at the depth of over a mile, we move cautiously along in water Icy cold and suddenly are con fronted with a blaze of light and find ourselves in a field of light givers. Imagine a cornfield with stalks from two to four feet in height, the tips gleaming with light and waving gently to and fro. Such an appearance the fields of umbcllularia present. Above this forest of living lights strange and weird fish are passing which we recognize as forms that have been dredged from great depths by the Albatross, the Challenger and others. One, the chlasruodon, dashes by emit ting light from its own body, and, won der of wonders I we see It seize a fish five times Its own bulk and draw it self over it like a glove. : Its Jaws by a special arrangement separate, and the mouth Is a cavern of India rubber like possibilities. A similar fish, mala costeus, is of a rich black velvet hue, and as It poises we see upon its bead two large lights. One emits a golden light, the other throws out fitful green rays which have some hidden mean ing In the economy of nature. Some of the fish seem to be literal mouths. Such is the eurypharnyx, or pelican fish. The mouth is enormous, the bones of the Jaw being attsched to the skull by movable Joints, so that It has enor mous nowers of distension.

K. . , Thar To l Thai : A young man residing In the aorta era section of the city had been calling for some time on a young woman,' la fact he thoroughly enjoyed the com pany of her whole family. One evening he called and of the father who an swered his ring he made bis usual in quiry, "Are the folks in?" He was an swercd In the affirmative and asked to "step inr;;- .-;.;ro:vht;;i':'-:;; . He was ushered Into the parlor, and after tho old gentleman had engaged in conversation with him for about a quarter of an hour he excused himself, went out, and the eldest son next enter ed and entertained tho young man for about a quarter of an hour. Then an other brother and sister, and the young man's suspicions were - somewhat aroused when the ; mother took her turn. A little sister came next, follow ed In turn by. the family cat, which rubbed itself against the young man t newly pressed trousers, v, He gave a sigh of relief when, aftei an hour spent In misery, his sweet heart made her appearance. He begged of her to "put him next" to the Joke, and between her bursts of laughter she informed him that "since he was try' ing to court the whole family papa thought they had best take turns." v It Is unnecessary to say that he failed to see the joke and has ceased his at' tentlons. Reading Eagle. The "Necdlc'a Ere." A lady writes to me and asks what Is reallv meant by the "needle's eye In the parable of the rich man. I re member reading somewhere that it was the smallest gate that gave entrance to the walled city of Jerusalem and that a loaded camel had to be stripped of its burden and bend its knees to squeeze through.' And so a rich man had to give up his riches and come to his knees before he could enter heaven. It was Just one of the thou sand proverbs that adorned the moral teachings of the Jews and the eastern nations. The writings of Job and Solo mon' and . Confucius and Mohammed abound In' them, ? .k ; In the Koran Is found this proverb, The impious man will find the gates of heaven shut, and he can no more en ter than a camel can pass through a needle's . eye." There Is another In the Koran which says, "You will never see a palm tree of gold nor an elephaut pass through a needle's eye." Thase proverbs simply meant that it was Im possible. Strange to say, the world has long since quit making proverbs. All proverbs have come down to ns, even such ns "A rolling stone gathers no moss." "Poor Richard". left us a few, such as "A penny saved is two pence gained." Bin Arp In Atlanta Constitution. . Like taa Rest at C. "George, dear," she said a night Or two before the wedding, "do you think it nossible that our love and our mar ried life can become the commonplace, coldly practical love and life of the married Deople we see around us? uu, George, my heart would break If 1 thought so!" "But it will not be so." said George passionately. "We love each other too tenderly, too fondly for tnat. uur love Is not of the ordinary kind, my darling. and our lives will not be so. Ah. no. no, my angel; that can never be!" . And the other day she said: i say. Georire. how would Ton like port for dinner with apple sauce? You would? All rlcht, then, and don't you forget that feeding bottle for the baby or I'll send you back after It, and mind that you don't keep dinner waiting." And he. with a falling off or tne passion of ten years ago, replied: "All right, Lou, and I wish youd sew a bntton on the back part of those strip ed trousers of mine. YouH find them hanging over a chair In our room. Don't have the cork as dry as last time, and you watch the baby's cold That watering of the eyes loots use measles to me. Goodby. rearson s Magazine.

Army of 40,000 Marching on Pekin. Bus elans Capture Strong Chinese Position. ' v Washington, Aug; G, The acting secre tary of state issued, the following state ment of a telegram received yesterday Irom Consul Jtowler al the Doo: "Consul Gen. Goodnow, in acablegram dated Shanghai, August 5, which was received at the department of state at 4 o'clock this (Sunday) morning, reports the receipt by Consul Kagadale, at Tien Tsin, of messages from Minister Conger and the secretary 'of the legation, Mr. Squiers, dated July 21, to the following "'AH well. No fighting since the 16th, by agreement. Enough provisions Hope for speedy relit. i "Mr. Goodnow adds that the director of posts, Sheng, bad on the 5th commu nicated to him an imperial edict, dated July 30, ordering Jung Lu to provide an escort for the ministers to Tien Tfiin when the ministers fix the date. The edict says the ministers can receive mes sages not in cipher; but, notwithstand ing this, plain messages were returned to some consuls on August 4." While the messages from Minister Con ger and Secretary Squiers bear date of July 21, the belief, founded notonlyupon them, but also upon collateral and later information, is that the legationers are yet safe from at least immediate harm. At present there is no means of knowing whether the ministers will accept the offer of the Chinese imperial government to provide an escort lor them to Tien Tsin, but it is surmised that they will prefer to remain within the British lega tion at Pekin until the arrival of . the allied forces. Should they leave for, Tien Tsin, In all probability it . would be be cause they regarded it the safer course to pursue. ' it is thought to n$not . unlikely that the Chinese , government may be very insistent upon the departure of the ministers, m the uoptrtnat u tney-can De gotten to Tien Tsin in safety the storm ing of Pekin may be averted. ARMY NUMBERS 46,000. Chinese Attack Tien Tsin Again But Are Repulsed and Driven Away. . London, Aug C 4 a. m. The Ameri can and British forces began the advance on Pekin last Thursday, according to a Tien Tsin dispatch, dated August 2. "The main body of toe allies," continues the correspondent, "marched July 80. Gen. Chaffee was delayed by difficulties of disembarkation. Gen. Dorward, the British commander, had no such obsta cles, and this delay is inexplicable. "The other foreign troops are now half waytoLofa. The force includes 20.000 Japanese under Gen. Yamachuchi, and IU.OOU uussians. The Biitisa force to tals 9,000, and the other foreign troops 7,000. We are weak in artillery. "On August 1 a strong force of Chinese from the native city attacked Tien Tsin. By a series of brilliant charges our troops drove the enemy from their positions. The native city is still defiant, and the allies are unwilling to march troops through its streets, as this would mean an immense slaughter.' When the Chi, nese saw so large a body of troops marching westward they apparently be lieved they would have an easy victory over those who were left." Tbo Japanese consul at Shanghai has received a message from Pekin saying tnat lien. Tung tun biang baa stopped all provisions going to the legations. Chinese messages assert that In addi tion to causing the execution of high functionaries of pro-foreign tendency, LI ring Heng has Impeached LA lions Chang.

Dis banded. . ''..:7 V'C'V;; Tb Newbern Naval Reserves reached Bayboro Sunday morning about. 11 o'clock. Everything was , found quiet and the Reserves returned borne, reach ing Newbern Sunday about midnight. 1 he flewhern journal sent a represen tative who learned the following partic ulars from reliable citizens in Bayboro:. As to the report that Sheriff Hooker was drunk on Saturday and led a crowd of negroes to attack the white people in the court house, the statement is made that the sheriff was perfectly sober, and instead of inciting trouble, used all his efforts to quiet the crowd. There were no negroes about the court house. The court bouse was open all the time during the canvass of the vote, and no attempt was made to keep any one out of the buildiug, and there were men representing both sides around all the time, and no disturbance took place. Tne examination oi the boxes of the Bayboro precinct, showed several bunches of legislative and county tickets, ten and 20 folded together. The folded tickets were not counted but a count of the bal lot showed 10 or 15 more than the poll book count. The precinct was thrown out. On count it is said to give fusion majority of 90 to 120. In all the precinct returns of the county, the legislative ticket was thrown out on account of jts size. After the Bayboro vote was thrown out, the fusionists, some 200 in number, left the court room and went to the grand jury room, where an effort was mads to pass resolutions condemningthe action of the board of canvassers. The more conservative around prevented such action. While there was a good deal of bad feeling prevalent, there was no drunken ness. There were enough conservative men present to prevent any assault, if at tempted, and before dark, Saturday, the people had gone home. The enure Democrxtic ticket was elect ed ty majorities of 40 to 50.

The suggestion attract ed several of the colored men, who cast their votes and then leaned over and kissed the ballot bcx in fond farewell. GEN. BADEN-POWELL WOUND ED.
