Klnpnton ig an old town acoordlnff to our New World fanner of computing age. In the year" 1M)2 an earthquake entirely destroyed the jrreater part of Port Uoyal. and the panic-stricken folk, flueing thence to the main inland from the plufruo that followed, gathered to gether upon the Hhores of Llffuanea, where a little settlement of thatched huts marked the spot on which King ston was afterward to arise in her glory. It has no such wild history as the moth er town; its romance is mostly that of the luxurious prosperity of merchant prince and sugar kingr; Yet, thanks to the pirate and slaver, it is not altogether-devoid of auother sort of story. Nowadays we read in the crumbling docks and hoary warehouses a voiceless history of the busy, prosperous times of which "Tom Cringle" tells, when Mr. L and bis brother merchants traded sugar and rum and log-wood and pi mento for the gold and silver of the Spanish Main and the flour and corn of America. We read in the rickety tumble-down houses that helplessly crum ble to decay in the heart of the town the same silent history of the days when those merchants entertained their guests with princely hospitality every thing in good style, wine superb, turtle, etc., magnificent, and the com pany exceedingly companionable." There we read of the time when rich Jews livod in Oriental luxury, and romance tells a story of a party of wild roisterers rambling in their cups through the streets at night and trying to peep into the lie brew's house at the private doings with in, and of how one was caught by a bevy of beautiful Jewesses, bound hand and foot with embroidered silken scarfs, and beaten, by way of punishment, with pearl-handled fans soon tod with musk and rose-water. All this was very fine and pretty and romantic, but there was a reverse to the picture, dark, stern, terrible. The rich people lived morrily and luxuriously, but underneath the surface two hun dred and fifty thousand wretches groaned and writhed in one of the most merciless servitudes that the world ever saw. There are other things to be seen in Kingston that speak a different his tory than that told by once noble houses now crumbling to ruin things that speak of sullen cruelty and mortal agony. In the museum of the town there hangs in one cornor an iron frame now rustinr into decay. The framo is ex actly the shape of a human figure, and the iron bars opon upon hinges and 3lo.se with a padlock. In the band that arches over the head is a ring, and in either hoel a long, sharp-pointed spike. It is the terrible "cage" of which now and then we catch a mention in the records of the Blave courts, where we hoar tell of hapless condemned wretches Inoloaod in its iron grasp; and hung by its iron ring from some gallows in the sight of all. Not only in tradition, but In actual rocords, we hear tell of such a miserable oreaturo hanging in the "cage," dying for days in tho shrivel ing glare of the sun, starved and torturod andbuffotlud by tho wings of tho filthy vultures that hi'Mly waited for the eyes to glaze before they were at work.

Once this tongue of land was bounded by a strip of white coral beach, and covered with a growth of wiry grass; now it is nearly smoth ered under a thick growth of mangrove thickets, pierced by narrow canals that run here and there through the tangle, and dotted by little lagoons, in the lonely waters of which herons and peli cans and frigate-birds live an almost un disturbed life. ; The name by which that point of land is known indicates its history with a terrible brevity; it is "Gallows Point" There in the old days of seventy-five or a hundred years ago a gauntvJiideous framework stood in the Bight of all, and almost always between the upright posts one or more dead pirates hung in chains, swaying slowly to and fro in the breeze, with hollow, sightless eyes turned now toward the white-winged ships, and now toward the long neck of Cagawaya, while buzzards, the "John Crows" of Jamaica, sailed solemnly round and round in the air above, their silent following shadow now and then flitting across the gray stony brow be neath. Every one quotes Tom Cringle's Log in Jamaica, and it is, perhaps, with all its exaggeration, the best guide-book that that can he found of the island. The author lived in those days, and saw most that he describes with his own eyes. In one part of his story he describes twenty-five Cuban pirates strung up at Gallows Point in one morning. -Howard Fyle, in Harper's Magazine. The C apital of Hrar.il. If you have occasion to mention the capital of Brazil and wish to be exact you must say Rio de Janeiro and pro nounce it Reeo day llay-nay-ray-oh. That is pun-American. It means river of January. Tradition says that when the Portuguese mariners who discovered the Brazilian coast passed through the narrow gateway to the harbor, and saw the beautiful hay in the amphitheater of mountains surrounded by eternal verdure, they thoughtthey were enter ing the mouth of a river that would lead them to the enchanted land. When they discovered their mistake they wore so disgusted that instead of naming the river . tffter our Saviour or one of the saints, they simply christened it the river discovered in January. However tho city has a street called. "Street of Good Jesus," and others called St. John tho Baptist, St. John the Evangelist, etc. Indianapolis Journal. l'owdttrrd Camphor for Colds. Camphor in various forms is frequently recommended for cold in the head, al though Dr. George Johnson and others long since indicated the dangers attend ing the use of concentrated alcoholic so lutions. The following method of ap plication is suggested by a Swiss phar maceutical journal, and certainly has the merit of simplicity: A jug is half filled with boiling water, into which a teaspoonful of well-powdered camphor i thrown. A funnel-shaped paper cap is then placed on top of tho jug, and a hole torn in it just fitting the nose. Tho camphorated steam is inhaled through the uoso for ten or fifteen minutes, tho inhalation being repeated, if required, every four or live hours. If the patient resolutely persists with the inhala tion, in spite of its unpleasantness, it is said that three repetitions will always effect a cure, however severe the coryza may bo. . - THE PATENT OFFICE. How Uncle Ham Protect the Interest! of Hit inventor. Next April tho Patent Office will be one h undred years old. It was the work of Thomas Jefferson, who was an in ventor himself. The English, to their credit, did not destroy the Patent Office when they captured Washington during the war of 1812. Before 18:s it was in embroyo, and there was but little sys tem, but in that year the first commis sioner was appointed, but afire unfortu nately destroyed over 2,000 models and many valuable papers. Many of the models were replaced in after years. There was another fire in 1877, which made sad havoo in the model-room, where there was an accumulation of over 200,000, made of wood as dry as tindor, and only needing a spark. This los awakened the authorities to the benefit to be derived from photolitho fraph, which has grown to be an im mense business, as nearly 23,000 patents are granted every year. The applica tions ' come in to the commis sioner by the scores every day. The financial clerk then collects $15 for the entrance fee, and then puts the model on its course through the -office, and com plaints are many that this process is rather slow. If the drawing is defect ive, the inventor is notified. After ex amination, if the device is found patent able, the examiner forwards the papers to the issue division, where they are ar ranged and sent to their respective di visions. There are thirty subjects of in vention, divided into eighty-eight classes, and assigned for examination to the thirty examining divisions of the of fice. The patent is then allowed, and the inventor notified of its allowance upon receipt of 8J0, the final fee. The drawings are then lithographed, and the specifications printed. The voyage is a long and tedious one, sometimes requir ing years. Over 3,500 patents have been granted to ladies. Of these the novelist, Blanche Willis Howard, has patented a bath shoe. Shoe and Leather Review. A UNIQUE WREATH. Tire Widow or a Connecticut Man Perpetu ate. III! Memory. A unique piece of handiwork has just been completed by Mrs. Sophia Lara- more of this eity, who is now approach ing her seventieth year. It is a mortu ary wreath in memory of her husband, who was dead nearly five years before the curious symbol was begun. She made it of relics of her late husband, and of the articles which were the prop erty of the wives who preceded her. The frame is of putty, into which, while soft, the widow placed, among others, the following articles: In the center of the top cross-piece are the spectacles of her late lamented and a small vial contain ing the pills which were left over from his last illness. Besides these, there many small stones which he had treas ured during life, his jack-knife, a piece of candy which she says he had left un eaten, buttons of all kinds from his ok! clothing, and a small bottle containing cheese made by his first wife. All of this collection is labeled, as, for instance: "The smelling-bottle used by the wife before me." In closed in the frame is a picture of him whose memory the wreath is supposed to perpetuate. The wreath above the portrait is composed almost entirely of flowers and leaves, each of these made either of somo portion of his coat, waistcoat, trousers, neckties, or suspenders, and worked together artist ically. The shirt in which he died is honored by having m-ade from it a showy bird, too wonderful and strange for des cription. Just outside the wreath are placed suspender buckles and watch chains entwined with the hair of the mother of his first wife. Some of the hair from his own head has been made into tendrils and the stamens of one of the flowers is of the material that lined his coffin. On another side of the wreath is a hunch of raisins ho bought her tin winter before he died, saying: "Now, dos't cook any of these, but eat every one." Balancing the raisins are three wires, each supporting one of his teeth, and behind them is the lasttooth- Eick he ever used. Waterbury (Conn.) letter.'-') . i . - the Wife as a Chattel. ' Four thousand pounds were awarded last week to a husband for the loss of his wife. That any damages can be ob tained by husband against a "Co." is re garded on the continent of Europe as being on a par with the rights of a hus band to sell a wife. It is considered that it reduces the wife to a chp.ael. In this continental opinion is righc. If tho "Co." merits a pecuniary punishment, then the fine ought to go to the State. In these matters it is generally as much the fault of the wife as of tho "Co." six of one and half a dozen of the other so that, strictly and logically speak ing, if the chattel theory bo correct, and the husband has a right to claim damages of the "Co.," then tho "Co." ought to hae a right to claim damages of the hushmd as responsible for an act of his wife that has caused the "Co." pecuniary loss. London Truth. AN ANTE-WAR STORY. How m Bright Young- Slave Egeaped Betag Sold to a Dealer. , A little while ago a colored man from an adjoining county came over into this county, his former home, and met many old friends. To one he related a re markable episode of the days "befo th wah." He says he was as tough mulatto as the country ever produced, and his youny , master resolved to "send him down the river," as the slave owners used to ex press it. One day the young master told Mm to have the horses ready, and they would depart early the next morning for Knoxville. The young master had re ceived information that a certain slave buyer from the cotton fields would visit the city mentioned in quest of "likely negro men." The early dawn found the young farmer and his valuable human property speeding away over the smooth road south. After they had gone a little way, "Rich," for that was the cognomen by which the "likely boy" was known, inquired of his mastr if he was going to Knoxville to put into execution a threat ho had often heard him make to sell him to a cotton planter. The master told him it was his mission. Rich be came much affected by the announce ment and shed tears, ne recalled the hours of their boyhood, and dwelt upon the pathetic in general. The young master's heart was touched, but bis re solve was not. Night came on, as it always did when travelers by the "Old Wilderness Road" got well into the mountains. A jug of fine old Bourbon steadied their nerves and brought balmy sleep to the restoration'of their strained energies. Next morning they were up with the lark, and all day they talked about the endless separation soon to follow, pausing occasionally to admire the rugged scenery and take a drink. The rabbit hunts by day, the coon hunts by night, the romps, the fights they had, the floggings they had caught from "the old man" were all lived over again. Another night and another day and their journey had ended. But the raid on the big jug had not They "hit it purty lively" that "last night on earth together forever and evermore." They were comfortably full long before mid night At least the young master was full of old liquor and the slave was full of pretense. He had dropped upon a scheme. With dawn, Rich was np moving about the city. A shave, clean clothes, a cigar, a cane, and many extras were added. Finally he sought the slave buyer and introduced himself as Mr. of Madison County, Kentucky, stated that he was in the city with the "splen did young nigger" of which he had writ ten him, and was now ready for a trade. The boy was described in glowing terms, and the price fixed at $1,500, which the t rader said he would give, provided the description was accurate, So they pro-. ceeded to the tavern and into a little back room, where the young master was found snoring away on a pallet beside the bed where Rich had taken the pre caution to tumble him before going out nis beard of several days' growth, dusty and soiled attire, unkempt hair, and general appearance was any thing but attractive. "Fifteen hundred!" gruffly remarked the old dealer as he glanced at the pitiful-looking object. "Fifteen hundred dpllars for that thingl I wouldn't give you a cent more than half that much," and he walked out on the street It is useless to say they didn't get their prices near enough for a trade. About noon the young master awoke, not feeling the best in the world. He was compelled to borrow a shoe horn to put on his hat, and there was a mighty bad taste in his mouth, to say nothing of considerable red in his eye and a feel ing of a sort of goneness in general about his stomach. Rich told him that he had been out to see the buyer, and the old fellow wanted to know tho prioe, as all depended on that the least he'd take was the question, and to be in a hurry, as he, tho buyer, had made about all the purchases he wanted and was ready to leave town. The young master called for paper and envelope and wrote as follows:- "Dear Sir: You have seen the boy. My lowest prioe is $1,200. He is worth every cent of it." The note was duly conveyed and was soon returned with an answer on the back, saying: "We can't trade." The following day the well-rested horses, the happy mulatto and a disap pointed white man "might have been seen wending their solitary way through the woods" toward Kentucky. Rich mond (Va.) Climax.
