Lamond slipped off his shoes and crept along Uie wharf. He climbed on the vessel and hid himself to see further develop ments. Heavy packages continued to come up from the ship's cabin to the deck, and slings were lowering it to the small boats, when LAimmd, with load ed pistol in hand, rushed on deck and succeeded la catching E.

It is estimated that from 130.000 to f 10,000 worth of liquor are smuggled every year from vessels lying in the Schnylkiil river, there not being sutHcicitt night men to eover the territory. PluUdul phia Record. THE DECAY OFTHS TERROR. Ths Petulant Pop th. Bd 1U' Oum Punctuate Weetero Peaea Ko More. The Terror shows up once in awhile In some of the email town! of New Mexico, and is encountered in the cat tle country at rare intervals, but hi! occupation is gone. The march of civil ization has been too much for him. The once numerous and thrifty class have been thinned down until only a laugh ing stock is left I was in Cheyenne when Speckled Tom, Big Pete or Wild Charley used to come dancing into a bar room with a " ,-un" in either hand and sing out: "Now, then, hands upl" Every hand went up. "Mebbe thar's some catamount yere thinks he can take the twist out of my coat tails I"- , , A A. If there was he didn't come to the front "Hands down." Every hand dropped. "I'm taking up a collection fur the benefit of Bill Jackson's widder, and anvbodv who feels like contributing will be afforded an opportunity." We all felt like it Indeed, every man was anxious to part with a dollar or two. I saw four Terrors killed in that town, each 0110 dying with his boots on, and 1 was giving 0110 of then) a drink of water when he shivered, took a long breath, and died as he said: "I was a-trying to git up to ten, and hev stopped short at seven. I could tally ei(jlit on you, but I've lost my popper f 1 followed the Terror to Laramie, nnd manv an evciiinc as I sat in the ollice of tho hotel he entered, with cat like tread, and opened a sudden fusil lade on lamps, keybourd, ceiling and doors, observing at the finis: '"Scuse me, gentlemen, but it's just my way. If any of you don't happen to like my wuy, please mention it I' We always niude haste to assure him that his way was Al, full ieweled and extremely pleasant, and that we should feel honored if he drank at our expense. One night a boy from Ne braska, who was strange to our ways, and who had his ear barked by a bul let, hauled out and plugged the Terror plumb center. Ho expressed his sor row when too Into. I had my coat under the Terror's head when the death rattle came to his throut, and he whis pered: "It's mighty queer isn't it? I alius hated you fur them red whiskers, and I had dropped in to-night to fill you full of lead." I followed the Terror up the Guni son valley. He was eetting attenuated and losing his sin id. When he had a street row he sheltered himself behind a post, and when he "let go" in a sa loon mere was a suspicious uncer tainty in bis tones as he clicked his guns and said: "I'm just a-waiting fur some kyote to move an eyelash or stir his tongue 1" We not only mos'ed, out we even ventured to oiler him advice, and by and by the day camo when I turned a corner to find him dying at my feet I was loosening his neck band as he opened his eyes and said: "Downed by a durned bullwhackcr, who didn't know which end of his pistol went off!" I met the Terror for the last time at Custer City. I was sitting in a saloon when the door was kicked open with a great crash, and he appeared with a revolver in either hand. Ho had long hair, a big hat and a buckskin suit Ho hungered for gore not the sort adulterated with cottonseed oil and warranted No. 1, but the red blood fresh from the human system and served up in puddles on the newly mopped lloor. lie whooped, lie yelled. Ho cracked his heels together. Ho snapped his right hand gun, but it was a .jheap cartridge. Ho Bnapned the other, but there was only a (lull click: Then a small man with a bald head and bow legs and consumptive look came out from behind a curtain and knocked him down, and flung his guns into the street and whistled for a policeninn. Next morning I was in court when the Terror pleaded guilty, and added: "Your honor, I made a fool of my self. If you'll let mo off I'll go back to pushing a wheelbarrow at ten shil lings a duy." Poor Terror I I lament his down fall New York Sun. SAVED BY A DOGL Stanley' Dog "Randy" Catche a Guinea. Fowl When the Tarty la Starving. We were sitting conversing about our prospects, discussing the probabilities of our couriers reaching some settle ment on this day, or the next and the time that it would take them to return ; and they desired to know whether, in my previous African experience, I had encountered anything so grievous as tliis. "No, not quite so bad as tills, "I re plied. "We have suffered, but not to such an extremity as this. Those nine days on the way into Ituru were wretch ed. On our flight from Butnblre we certainly suffered much hunger, and also wliile floating down the Congo to trace its course our condition was much to be pitied ; we have had a little of something, and at least large hopes, and If they die where are wef The age of miracles is post it is said, but why should they be?

Elijah was fed by ravens at the brook Cherith, but there is not a raven in all this forest Christ was ministered unto by angel. I wonder if any one will minister unto in." Just then there was a sound as of a large bird whirring through the air. Little Randy, my fox terrier, lifted np a foot and gazed inquiringly ; we turned our heads to see, and that second the bird dropped beneath the jaws of Randy, who snapped at the prize and held It fast in a vise as of iron. "There, boys," I said, "truly the gods are gracious. The age of miracle! is not past," and my comrade) were seen gazing In delighted surprise at th bird, which was a fine fat guinea fowl. It was not long before the guinea fowl was divided, and Randy, its captor, bad his lawful share; and the little doggie seemed to know that he had grown in esteem with all men, and we enjoyed our prize each with his own feelings.

For yean past there has been an t.l i tha mind of lliuny VOUPg peO- Die that there lives a man somewhere who will give $1,000 for 1,000,000 can- celed Dostuire stamps, in remying w a youthful correspoiiuini, -v cuse Herald says; "Tin canceled postage stamp myth, for such it must really be culled, has been current among American juveniles for nearlv twenty years. In many households throughout the land it w believed in as unquestioniugly as the Hindoo de votee believes in Brahma or as the Mahometan hi tho prophet of Allah. Somewhere there is a person eager and willing to puy $1,000 for 1,000,000 canceled stamps, and in many pluccs industrious collectors have been en gaged in the fond endeavor to gather up the necessary 1,000,000. No one has ever stopped to inquire the mean ing of 1,000,000, or to figure for a mo ment how long a time it would take for one person to collect 1,000,000 stamps. . "An enterprising youth in search of stamps would think if begot a hun dred a day he would bo getting a great prize, and yet at thut rule it would take him nearly twenty-eight years to gain tho coveted million. Suppose he could collect 1,000 a dnv everyday In the year, it would still occupy nearly thrco years of his time, and then it would take nearly as long a time to count them out to tho person paying the money for them, and there would be very little time left either for eating or sleeping, much less doing anything elso in the way of duily du ties. Thus it may be seen how foolish tho idea is that with great industry, a million stamps could be collected in many years and then recounted to a purchaser. And yet it seems like something that could be accom plished. "A fow years ago a pleasant story went the rounds of the papers telling how some young person, engorly de sirous of obtaining this $1,000 for his education, went tho rounds of the business offices, told his needs and gathered up all the stamps in innum erable waste baskets. In this way he obtained 1,000,000 of stumps, and, as tho story goes got the $1,000. But if oue critically examines the talo it will be seen what an impossibility it is. To sever tho stamps from the envel opes, to count and bunch them would take a very largo amount of time. The most industrious worker could not possibly do this work ut the rate of one stamp a minute, but supposing he did . - f UO IU1S, it wouiu umy oo ut iuu raw of sixty an hour, or ubout 600 a day, for an ordinary day's work. At that rate it would take nearly five years to xnnnt fliom Tlmn if tllPV hllll to be counted again to the purchaser, it would take another five years." Wall of File. The Persians have a proverb to the effect that "a small fly will upset a big man's stomach." When tho small fly is multiplied by millions, he is un doubtedly a brave man who will at tempt combating such a host Fort Tel-el-Kebir, on tne day after tho bat tle there, in 1882, presented a remark able gathering of flies. The fort seemed to be covered with a dark pall. At about 150 yards dis tance from this dark mass, I heard a loud, humming noise, and as I ap proached nearer, tho sound increased in volume, until it became a rour. It came from a wall of flies, one milo long, ten yards high and forty yards wide; this pall represented a hue of dead and uuburied Egyptians. To go round tho flaiikof tho fly wal. was out of the question, so I put spurs to my pony and urged him through. The brute several tunes refused to stir, frightened by tho hum and noiso. At last, I mauaged to get him "head on," and never shall I forget my passages through those forty yards of flies. They presented such a firm front tin t I could feel a pressure, heavy enough to compel me instinctively to grip the saddle loser with my knees. I had to close mouth and eves, and it was no easy matter to endure tho stench emanating from tho mass. My pony was so terrified thut I could not stop him until we had got far beyond the black mass, and into the clear des ert air again. I looked behind me, now and again, as I continued my journey, and there, in tho blazing sun, hung the same dark pall. St James' Gazette. "Coil s TV 111 Be Done."

Pander (rum Coal Oil In Rummer, A frightful succession of coal oil ca lamities again compels attention to ths fact thut in hot weather the product! of petroleum become increasingly dan gerous. As the tenieniture rise ill these products, from the heaviest enub oil to the most volatile naphtha, ei pimd rapidly and give off gas that, mixed with the air, becomes explosive. When cold these fluids do not evapo rate, and dealers in koiwene illustrate the safety of their high test illuminat ing oils by throwing a lighted match Into a vessel filled with the article which they especially recommend. That can be done as long as a low temper ature is carefully maintained, but the Instant the temperature reaches the point where evaporation begin thou danger threatens. Gas is generated, and as It spreads abroad fills the vicin ity with an explosive compound which, coming in contact with fire, communi cates In flashing combustion with the body of the fluid, and an outburst ( flume follows which it is almost impos sible for any humnn agency to deal with. This was undoubtedly the cause el the calamity to the tank steamer Ham and Knrts, as it was of the similar ca tastrophe resulting in the destruction of the steam schooner Louis Bucki at sea. The gasoline accident at Almond and Adams streets was of the same churacter, and was attributable, J were the others mentioned, to the ef fect of the hot weather on petroleum products. The accidents to oil tanki by lightning are duo to the same agen cy, electricity exploding the ga gen erated from tlie oil, and the flash net ting the tank on fire.
