M Warren Street, New Yorll DANGER INDOORS ON A SHIP. ! Steamship and llattlMililp nalkhewd Mot Worth a Much a They SWam. On all first class passenger steamsbipi and on all lurge warships a great per centage of the total cost Is spent direct ly and Indirectly on bulkhead or on what these bulkhead necessitate. Ho passenger would willingly make a voy age iu a liner which wn not known to have a oellulur structure, and no gov ernment wonld think of building a bat tleship or crulner without bulkheads. Yet it is a fact well known, at least to all seafaring men and shipbuilders, that these bulkheads, strong aud perfect In themselves, are precisely as safe and efficient as the doors In them and not wblt more so. The door a at present oonstrnoted and operated are notoriously bad and dangerous. Tbey bavo been the direct and known cause in the lo of many live and many good ships and are doubtless chargeable with many mora ships on the list of "missing and unac counted for." It is astonishing to tbe expert to see the general pnblio and even seafaring men so ready to accept tbe prevailing superstition about tbe safety of bulkheads. Tbe best possible bulkhead without equally good door, operated on a safe system, are about a good as a chain with a link missing. Tbe history of marine disaster bas taught os this if it has taught os any thing, and yet we go on crossing the Atluntio iullueriof nioob vaunted safe ty aud bragoiug about invulnerable bat tleships, apparently witb implicit con fidence in this bulkhead fetich. There should be as few doors as poa-' alble, and some very able experts con tend that there should bo none. On tbe other band, most captains and chief en gineers say tbey must have doors. Man- ifustly the only wsyont of tbe difficulty J is to gut safe doors, safely operated. ! The number of watertight door and batches on a first class buttlesblpisover ' 800, and there are nearly 800 valve and gate connected witb ventilating, drain ing and flooding tbe bull and involving tbe safely of the ship. It will there fore be seen that the systematic control and operation of these devices is a mat ter of no mean importance. It tukes about 110 men to look after these details aluue iu response to a col lision alarm under the present condi tions, sod it is a matter of very grave doubt on tbn part of thone beat informed as to w hether the sujnuie efforts of these 110 ii en run attend to doors, hutches uud vulw'S quickly enough to suve tbe ship.

Tbe bouse of Hobeuzullein possesses a family talisman. Since tbe time of tbe Elector John Cicero, who flourished toward tbe end of tbe fifteenth century, eacb ruler bas, wben possible before dissolution, banded to bia successor a scaled packet This contains a ring in which is set a black stone said to have been dropped by a huge toad on tbe oov erlot ot a prinoess of tbe family just as she bad given birth to a son. Frederick tbe Great found the riug in an envelope, which also inclosed a memorandum written by Frederick I, stating its value and its mode ot transmission. Sobnei der, tbe librarian of William I, declares that be saw tbe packet banded by Gell ing, tbe treasurer, to bis royal master ou aooesslou, and further asserts, that be read bis account of tbe talisman to tbe emperor, wbo fully confirmed it St James Gaaette.

Blr4 Wbter For Wns, Of course Webster wa in demand by tbose who could afford to pay for bis service. A sharp Nantucket man is said to have got the better of the great defender of the constitution loan amns in g way, however. lie bad a small case which wa to be triad at Nantncket one week in June, and be posted to Webster's offloe in great haste. It waa a contest witb a neighbor over a matter of considerable local interest, and hi pride a a litigant wa at sake. He told Webster tbe particulars and asked what ba would charge to conduct tbe case. ' "Why," said Webster, "yon can't afford to hire me. I should bave to stay down there, be wbole week, and my fee wonld be more than tbe whole case is worth. I couldn't go down there for less tban 1 1,000. I oould try every case on tbe ducket a well as one, and It wouldn't cost any more, for one case would take my time for tbe entire week anyway." "All right, Mr. Webster," qnlckly responded tbe Nantncketer. "Here's your $1,000. You oome down, and I'll fix it so yon can try every case." Webster waa so atuostd over tbi proposition that be kept hi word. He pent the entire week in Nantucket and appeared on one lide or tbe other in every case that came np for bearing. Tbe shrewd Nantucketer bired Daniel out to all bis friends who were in liti gation and received in return about $1, 000, so that be got Webster's services for nothing and made a good profit to boot. Huston Herald. An Vnblased Char(. A group of lawyers were telling sto ries in tbe corridors of tbe city ball tbe other day, when one related a tale of a Justice of tbe poaoe in one of tbe south ern states where tbe narrator lived in bis earlier days. A case waa being tried before a jury in the justice' oourt, there being a large number of witnesses on both sides. Tbe lawyers contended fiercely aud tbe trial dragged on until tbe taking of evidouoo and the argu ments before tbe jury bad been con cluded. "Well, gentlemen, are you through?" asked tbe justice, addressing himself to tbe lawyers. Upon tbeir reply in tbe affirmative be then addressed himself to tbe jury, aayiug: "Gentlemen, it ia cow tbe duty of tbe court to say something to yoa. Yoa have beard tbe evidence of many wit nesses aud bave beard what tbe lawyers bave said. I will suy that I know all tbe witnesses and know them to be such dixreputuble persons tbtt it will not be neoesNiry for yoa to pay any attention to what tbey bave said even under oath. Not oue of tbetn is to be believed. As for tbe lawyers, tbey are sucb scoun drels you need pay no attention to what tbey have said, aud aa for tbe two liti gants, tbey are so mean it doesn't make auy di-Ttnce which one of them gets the worst ot your decision.

A story of Lincoln told me by tbe man to wbom it happened (since dead) is aa follows: At tbe breaking ont of tbe civil war Captain Tompkins of the battery of ar tillery, state of Khode Island militia, stutioued at Providence enlisted with bis entire oouiiuaud and left at onoe for Washington. Hoon after bis arrival bia battery, together witb other troops, waa reviewed by tbe president in front of tbe White House, and Captain Tomp kins, proud of bis battery, brought it past the president in the very best shape be was capable of doing and at once re turned to be presented to tbe president as was done witb all tbe other offloera. When tbe captuin was presented, Lin coln said loud enough for all near by to bear, "Captain, your battery is certain ly a very pretty battery in fact, the prettiest battery I bave ever seen," and thou iu so low a tone that no one but tbe captaiu beard bim, "but I must say, captaiu, I bave seen very few bat torioa," New York Times.

On nearly all sides of the towu are big suit works, witb tbeir engines pumping hundreds of thou sands cf gallons of brine every week. At a depth of some 200 or 800 feet are immense subterranean lakes of brine, and as the cout cuts of these are pumped and pumped away tbe upper crust ot earth is correspondingly weakened and the result is au occasional subsidence.
