Ebtp'l boat, made of sfoel, without nam or frames, anil in all respects a vast Improvement upon wood or metallic bouts, have been tried in various line and cargo teamen with ip-eatcst success. JiMt a pistons, back anil front plates of locomo tive and marine bailers are Htamped true to gauge from plates of wild steel, so are these boats pressed out. There are liy draulio prows which carry dies and stamps, ao that the Hhaie produced Is that of one hulf of a boat longitudinally. A plate of tbiu Sli'im'118-.Murt iu stel Is plnced in the press and comes out shuped. It Is then pluced alongside the opposite part and the garboanls and ends are riveted to bulb bur, which forms the stem, koel and stern. Another advantage which attends the use of steel bouts Is that they are much easier to pull or to sail, because the wet surface is so much less, as is also the skin friction, than is the case with woodei. boats. Weight for weight a small wooden boat is rather lighter than a steel boat, but a 11 rut clans ship's lifeboat made of steel is lighter than a similar boat if built of-vood. Ijtstly, Bteel boats are cheaper in the end. The boats are always available: they re quire no protection from ami are unaffect ed by the weather. I.iko all vessels built of steel, they require considerable atten tion to prevent oxidation, but this is easily effected with the ordinary appliance on board ship, and providing proper care is used a steel lioat, as a steel hull, will last for years. Shipping World. One Gambler's Mascot. There is a railroad man who has a novel method of raising money Hint is peculiar to himself, lie has no diamond to put In soak when luck goes against him, as it generally does, ami his llnal resort is an original one. Dollar by dollar his money goes across the grceu board and drops with mournful clink Into the tin box. But there is an end to all things, even to a railroad man's wages in front of a faro layout, and when the last likeness of the Goddess of Liberty has been nluceil on ace it seven the poor fellow cunts a despair ing' irlance at his companions at the board and at the dealer, and then reaches up and takes out bis false teeth. The dealer gives him a stack of white chips, and the play goes on. These teeth are a mascot usually, and the fellow quits with enough alieud to at least redeem his masticators. Occa sionally, however, the mascot loses Its charm, and then for a week or two the victim of chaico has to lire on "spoon vittles." But he's a Biort. Anaconda Standard. A Valuable Manuscript.

Samuel Parker of Hawaii, who was Queen Uliuuknlani's premier at the time of the revolution which deposed her from the throne, made a hurried trip from the islands to California recently on busi ness which he said was strictly privifts and concerning which he refused to en lighten the reporters. Before his depart nre for home, however, he gave out for publi cation a manifesto in favor of the restora tion of the monarchy, and it has been hint ed that this was no unimportant part of the business that brought him to the United States. Mr. Parker has long been an Interesting and picturesque lluure in Hawaiian atTuirs. He was born in Hawaii, and his mother was a full blooded native of high degree. His father was a llostoiilau, and the strain of American blood is shown in his siiierlor energy and vigor. He is a relative of the ex-cmeeu und the late Kalakaua, and uotn majesties placed the utmostdepentlencetip- on him in the vicissitudes ot their careers. He was one of Kalakatiu's most intimate friends, and no one else ever possessed so much of the late king s commence. Physically Mr. Parker Is a superb seo imen of manhood, and he hits the habits and manners of a prince. He owns a very BAMt'FL PAIIKKK. lurge estate on one of the smaller islands and lives In magnificent style in Honolulu, where in the old days be used to entertain lavishly. Hisgreat generosity and athletic habits greatly endeared him to the native population of the islands, and be has trav eled much and made friends and acquaint ances in nearly every part of the world.

I 1 11 IV V ' ii.u uvuu vi viiaiiia.ii, By MAURICE TH0MP303 As for Prescott lie Cult sure that Rose till loved lii lis, and that she had acted under sumo st range necessity which for builohim to make any lniiiiries until such time as she should choose (or en lightening him voluntarily. Deep in his heart he susjiec'ted some connection be tween his unknown antagonist and the occurrumo ut the house, but his suspicion could not take any definite form. Soon after his recovery and return to camp ho was sent in command of a de tachment toapointopposite Whitumursh island, some six miles from Savannah, which would have prevented him from calling on Rose, even if he hud felt it the proper thins to do undor the circum stances. As Muyuard convalesced he proved himself a man of most cultivated uud in sinuating maimers. The master and the mistress of the Fenwicke mansion be came quite fascinated, spending a great deal of time in his company listening to bis well told stories of adventure by land and sea In many parts of the world. Even Rose, although she could hut cordially despise him, oftentimes lent captivutod attention to his narrations. He treated her with such marked and refined respect that it was Impossible for her to show her real foeling toward him, though the longer he stayed the more distasteful he became to her. For her father's sake she was vory kind in word and manner to this man, chatted pleas antly with him, pluyedond sang for him, even read aloud to him when he begged her to. She did not note the looks of ten der admiration with which he soon began to follow her, nor did she dream that in his heart he was permitting a passion for her to take deep and powerful hold. Ills face had been very handsome before the swordcut had left its livid streak, and even now it was impressive, if some what sinister, In its expression. With the cunning of a man whose nuture both by gift and truining makes him a detective he saw that Rose was n rebel, although not a word on the sub ject hod ever fallen from her lips in his presence. Her character, however, was a guuratity to him that she would not betray him, knowing that to do it would be sure to compromise her father in a very dangerous way. Feeling secure at this point, it pleased him to linger at the Fenwicke munsion after he was quite well of the wound from Prescott's sword. The seclusion here was perfect, the household atmosphere quite agreeable, and then there was Rose, whose tall, superbly turned figure and charming face were fascinating him more and more every hour. CHAPTER IV. On the 23d of December word came to Oen. Howe that the British fleet hud anchored off Tybee island. With the next tide it would come over the bur and take possession of the river. Little hud been done by the Americans to erect de fenses around the town. There hud been a Hue of earthworks, but this hud been suffered to full to ruins and was now practically useless, nor wus there time for auy rcpuirs. The coming of the enemy was as much a surprise as if it had been a sudden dojecut in the night. Before Oeu. Howe could uscertuin the number or position of the enemy's forces, and while ho was trying in vain to dispose of his own little army to the Wfc ltmtaa. tU guns Uagull to hut-., ter away savagely ut the bluff on Zirar deuux plantation, ouly two oi three miles down the river from Savannah. In a moment all wits confusion in the town and Its suburban settlements. The approach of a battle undur any ciruuiu stulices would have caused alarm, but now it wus, to a degree, a panic, with no wise management to control it. At first tills feeling did uot extend to the troops! on r ie contrary, they behaved well until their line wus broken and they were thrown into disorder Lieut. Prescott was detained by Gen. Howe to act on his stuff, wherefore it chanced to full to his lot to be sent in the direction of Governor Wright's planta tion just at tho time when Lieut. Col, Campbell ordered the attack on the American lines. He wus mounted on a fleet horse and bearing orders to Col. Elbert. His way lay along the edge of a swuiud through which the enemy wore making efforts to puss, and in which they were already skirmishing with some American scouts. Riding in greut haste and rather recklessly he pushed his horse Into a boggy place and was delayed foi many minutes in extricating him. In the meantime the British had attacked with great vigor, going right through the lines und completely routine tin American forces. Not only tins they were already across the swamp ahead ol him and wort rushing on toward tin-' city. Ho saw nt once that his olio chillier of escape lay in reaching tho Savannah Mid before it was fully in their posses sion. He knew the country perfectly ami so was able to choose the shortest uud snfest route. Putting spurs to his horse he made a dash for that point whore the road in question cut the Hue of old earth works. If he could pass there in advance of the British he could reach Savannah long before they could get there. True to his youth and the love which hud made youth doubly sweet to him Prescott no sooner set his face toward the town than he began to think of Rose Fenwicke. It rushed into his heart that fierhaps he had seen her for the last hue; and how vividly arose the memory of her pained and distressed face ns she stood before him that night in the door way, thrusting him back ami bidding him go away! And then, like some sud strain of nmsio out of tho distance, echoed again tho parting words, "Good-by, dear, dear Wayne." He felt a shiver run over him and he leaned forward in his saddle, urging his horso to its greatest speod. When he reached the road ami turned toward Savannah tho way seemed clear but he hud sped but a few rods ere an obstacle suddenly presented itself in the form of an olllcer wearing the British uniform uud mounted on a horse evi dently captured from some-unfortunate American. "Haiti" rang out the challenge, too late for Prescott to check his speed, even if he had desired to. "Halt!" and then their swords crossed with a keen clink as the lieutenant doshed by. A short, sharp nice, and Prescott felt that his enemy was gaining rapidly and would strike him from behind if he should not turn about at once. "Haiti" He wheeled his horse just in time to parry a slush which would have severed his head from his body. There was a ri.ltling fire of musketry to his left, while ou his right a light battery was bellowing vigorously He thought of Rose, in fact the thought had not left him, and as he closed with the heavy set and surly faced foe again the words echoed in his heart- "Good by, dear, dear Wayne." It was a short and desperate fight, in which both men showed superior horse manship and consummate command of the sword. The British officer was the stronger, otherwise they were well matched. Perhaps the American fought at a disadvantage, his main thought be ing to get away from bis enemy by any means and reach Savstinnh In Hm tr see Rose before the town fell Into Brit ish hands. The sole uim of tho other was to kill his doughty antagonist. On either side of the highway the ground wus soft, and tho combatants knew that if either were to penult his horse to leuve tho hard roudliod lie would beat the other's mercy; therefore the struggle lay largely In the muiiugement of their uniuiuls, which were now thor otighly excited and ulmost iinointrulla ble. Doubtless his enemy felt something like tho same spur to hasty notion, for be urged his horse closer and cut ami thrust with redoubled rapidity and force As yet neither hud been wounded, so vigilant hud been their fencing, lint the greut strain of managing their furious horses and ut the same time keeping up the increasing violence of their com but wus telling upon their strength, which hud been otherwise taxed to the utmost since early morning. In a set duel it might have been thought a cowurdly thing to do, but Prescott wus no cowurd, nor did he dream of cowardice when, its the Eng lishman's horse reared and plunged near, be struck it, with ull the force he could gather into his arm, right across the left eye. It reeled back and sprung olf the roadway into tho mire, where it vainly floundered nbout. The way wus not more thnn twenty feet wide and in some purts hud been strengthened by hulf buried palmetto logs, forming a sort of corduroy, very dangerous for the footing of the horses, whose springing and rearing and plung ing kept a sort of time to the rapid sword strokes of the straining men. Nearer and nearer came the scattered spray of the disordered army of Gen Howe, floundering along wildly, flinging aside guns and ubundoning artillery leaving everything in the hands of the victorious British. Lieut. Prescott knew that if he de luycd but a few short moments mushing with his antagonist ull would be lost to him. Wheeling his owu horse, the lieuten ant spurred on toward Savannah, well knowing that his antagonist could not follow. Two or three British tired ut him from a little swell to Iris left, but their bullets hissed over his head A little further on, where the road made a short turn, he thundered through u be wildered group of American soldiers, who, hutless and gunless, were panting and running ulmost exhausted. Why should those words keep ringing through his ears and echoing us if in the remotest distunce of memory? "Good by, dear, dear Wayne." He forgot the wrenching und strain ing, the fatigue, the ull but exhaustion of the struggle through which he had come; but with his bare sword gripped in his right baud, the reins held firmly in his left, he leaned over the pommel and strove to increase the speed of his foaming horse. He did not once think of the humiliation of defeat, nor did it occur to him that his duty might b along the line in striving to rally the broken and flying army of freedom It was like a fearful rebuke to him thut just after he hnd passed over a little log causeway u round shot, hulf spent, struck bis horse dowu under him CHAPTER V.

To say that she repulsed him is to miss all the force of statement necessary to the simple truth. Sho scarcely spoke, nor was her manner in the least vehe ment A look, u gesture, a slow turn ing away as from something unspeaka bly despicable and vile, perhaps the sin gle word. "You!" uttered scarcely above her breath, but with an emphasis that con veyed the last refinement of disgust and abhorrence, at ull events there was no margin left for even a shadow of hope. Never before in his life had he felt small, weak, insnflicient in the presence of an emergency, no matter how formidable. Rose turned from him with just that deliberate dignity of movement which gave greatest effect to her beauty and walked away, the embodiment, us he felt, of incomparable stateliness. grace and purity He shrunk into himself, so to say, and tor some momenta after she had gone his mind wus vacant and his whole nature shriveled. Of course with sucli a man this was tint a passing state of discom fiture und disorder, the result of surprise more than of anything else. He, witli ull his shrewd insight, had not dreamed that she could summon at n moment's notice the power to crush him like this. More over, the exhibition of calm, superb, ab solutely commanding dignity so added to her charm that he felt a great joy in it, even while collapsing under its serene weight of contempt Large, ulmost giguntcsque in stature, with the suppleness of health combined with the strength of ajustly proportioned and thoroughly trained physique, lie ral lied quickly from a wound, whether of the body or of the mind Tho stupor of surprise and discomfiture soon passed from him, and with a sinister smile he yawned and stretched himself us if shak ing off a light nap 'Confound the girl!" he exclaimed, 'confound the girl! She is Btumiing, amazing, bewildering!" He walked back and forth, chuckling to himself, his face quite red, mid the (lender scar gleaming on his cheek like a tongue of flame. Minute beads of sweat gleamed ou his forehead, un.l his lurge shapely hands actually shook as he nervously rubbed them together. It was while he was thus pulling him self together after Rose's departure that Muynard received from tne hand of a servant a note written in cipher thut in formed him of the approach of the Brit ish fleet In a moment he hud forgotten everything sure the mission nHn which be bad come to Savannah. With him not even love could stand in the way of the grosser enterprise which he regarded as duty Making a few quiet and hurried prep arations be vanished from the mansion without a sign or word to any of its in mates, and went to coufer with some of his Tory coadjutors. The purpose wus to fire the town in the rear of the Ameri can army, just at the time when the battle should fairly begin, and follow this up with a snow of attack upon the handful or guards left to keep order in the streets. The plot was well laid and must have been successful had tho moment ever come to put it lutoiqierutiou; but before anything certain could be gathered after the British hud landed the scattered and utterly demoralized American army wus already fleeing in every direction. Soon enough the advance of tho victori ous invaders poured into the town. When the buttle begun Mr, Fenwicke wus at one of his plantations some mih in the country. By the time he conld have his carriuge tnude ready and be driven Into town the British were there rushing up aud down the streets and committing every outrage known to a uiorceuury uud utterly conscience less soldiery. Defenseless citizens were bayoneted, houses were pillaged, women outraged, negroes beaten with clubbed muskets, drunken Hessians reveled in til manner of debauchery, tlU BR OONTINUBD.I Craad Opara toiler Dlulcultlas. The hushing down of appluust during tho progress of a Wagnerian opera" ap peared rather to disconcert Mr. Lassalle, who, ou making his first appearance this season in "The Flying Dutchman" at Covent Garden lust week, was received absolutely without a hand. Between the acts, however, he was accorded as much applause its he could have desired. The performance of "Tho Flying Dutchman" must have been considered a strange one by any members of the Wagner party who niay have bit'ti present. Some of the urtists, in accordance with Italian pre ledent, sung to the footlights instead of to each other, the bund, conducted by tho Italian Mr. Manciuelli, went at it with vigor, the drummer particularly making a night of it, while the hitches in the Btngo arrangement were often very laughable. To see several men walking in the trotigh of the sea pulling ulong the gi gantic phantom ship of the Dutchman, culling to each other "Get on!" and "WhouP'as thevessel from time to time struck on a rock, was amusing enough. Mild wagers were laid that the Flying Dutchman would never get to land at ull, and indeed Mr. Manciuelli laid down his baton and stopped his bund while the ship was being maneuvered. It wns not tho fault of Mr. Lassalle, for he clearly conld not be expected to walk the waves. In the last net, too, the ship absolutely refused to smash up, and it was left still swimming the ocean when tho curtain finally fell. London Figaro. A 1 resh IVurd on Iced Drinks, "At this season it will be in place," writes a physician in a paper on house hold chemistry, "to say f omething as to the wholesomeness of tho extremely cold water, tea, lemonade, etc., which are to extensively used in this country. It must be acknowledged that medical men are not iu possession of facts sufficient to form a positive conclusion, and many adopt the opinions which agree with their desires. It cannot bo denied that one may become a toper in noniutoxi ennts as well ns in intoxicants and that it is easy to creato by habit a strong de sire for frequent drafts of very cold wa ter. "With sotiH) persons the perspirativa function is eo uctivo tho effect is less serious, bub. iu the majority of cases these abundant cold drafts disturb the stomach, nudf it would certainly be bet ter if one could learn to be satisfied with water nt a temperature of 00 degrees F. rather than 40 degrees and to limit somewhat tho amount taken.

Tho announcement thut an influential syndicate has been formed in Brixton to send an expeditionary force of pickpock ets to the World's fair is a little belated. Gratifying to national pride it will be no doubt us showing that English spirit of enterprise still springs fresh und vig orous in the Brixtonian breast. But from tho point of view of commercial speculation it is to bo feared that the syi.dieute has been as completely whipped by American firms as huve all previous exhibitions by the White City. Consid ering that tho ashes of Christopher Co lumbus were ull but stolen on the very opening day, uud that the czar of Rus sia's jewels and the queen of Italy's lace have disappeared outright, we gravely doubt whether English competition will Imvo much chance. Obviously native talent has every advantage of local knowledge, and though we could see the adventurers cross the Atlnntio without a sigh we should advise them in their own interest to confine their operations to the narrower sphere of Brixton.

Now Butler proposes to make Mont gomery's rain company pay the damage. The same storm caused a washout on the Santa Fe line, and a terrible wreck followed, in which an engineer was killed. The wife of the dead engineer will also bring suit against Montgomery for $10,000 damages. Kansas Cor. Phil adelphia Press. An Old Faaliioneit Sleigh.

THE SOCIAL JAPANESE, Tlialr Thaalara, Ilramatlo I'arforniaimai ml Man anil Huenlc KITaela. The Japanese are an essentially social and active minded race, much resembling the l'eloK)nniilnn Greeks of old times. Wheu nut employed III study, commerce or agri culture, they seldom appear content to lounge away their leisure, but want to enjoy themselves definitely ami in society. Kvery where Hie traveler conn's across plo nlc partlea, water parties, dinner and tea parties; gardens, tea houses, temples, all nfTcr facilities for merrymaking, and the fninpuiiy can not lie licensed on such occu sl'insof taking Its pleasure sadly, for every member thereof Is rhiillerliig, laughing, aiming and doing his or her Is-st to muke mutters go olf cheerily. Among the favorite entertainments of the populace, dramatic iierforiiiitncca have always held a high place, and a great ac tor Is fully as much appreciated among the Japanese as among ourselves. We had an opportunity of swing Dunjolo, com monly called the "Irving of Japan," iu one of bis principal characters. The building in which the performance took place, though built of wood and slightly decorated, is, iu ninny resiectM, not unlike a good sized London theater. The floor of the house Is divided Into little square boxes, In which kneel tho audience, men, women and children. From the main en trance to the stage runs a gangway, some what elevated aliove the floor. This is called tho flowery path and serves not only ns n means of access to the lioxea on either side, but also ns an approach by which some of the principal actors makes sensat lonal entrance on the scene. A large gallery, divided like the par terre, ruusaround three sides of the bouss and is reached from un outside balcony. Kuropcuu sKvtator taking seats iu the gallery are nccomniodutcd with chairs. The main difference tat ween an English uud a Jupaii"c stage lies in the fact that the whole of the center part of the latter, w hich 1 1 of cnnslderublosize, is round and turns ou a pivot. The scenery runs ncross the diameter of the reversible part; so while one scene is before the audience mint her Is being set behind, anil when wanted is simply wheel ed a roil nil to the front. This certainly saves a great deal of time and scene shift ing, but might lie difficult to manage with the very elulsii'Hte adornments demanded by a modern Kuropeun public. Japanese scenery is sufficient and historically cor rect, mid for Indoor scenes, nt least, fur less furniture Is required than with us to truthfully represent n native Interior. To remove the linp -illinentaat the sides, or anything which has to be taken away during the progress of u scene, little blnck figures, with black veils over their fuces, like familiars of the Inquisition, come iu aud are supposed to lie Invisible.
