The following are the facts, relative to.

after a summons was in the hands of the
Constable and the jury sworn, who arriv-
ed at the dock of.Capt. Bell about nine
o’clock. After viewing the body of the
deceased, it was put in charge of friends,
and the jury adjourned for a time. About
10 a. m. I heard that two mere bodies had
beenfibrougbt to the wharf. .5 Forthvvith saw-
thc jury and told .tbclnto proceed with
the inquest. Returning to} my office saw
Justice Craw. W. R."-Smitb,.Eb. Hill and
others. Ileanl .\lr.' smith advise, that there
be‘but one summons. When Justice Claw
said he. hadIissued a summons and told-the. 3'
Constable to select three lawyers, one doctor,
and two iron men as. experts. At this very
time it was known" throughout the city
that the jury had met for consultation at
my office after having viewed the body of
Mr. Allen. -
Justice Craw’s jury were not all sum.
moned at 11:} a. in. When theydid meet
at 25. p. m. to be sworn, it was found that
two of the 'jurors sworn. in the first instance
belonged to those of the sworn. About the
same hour 'named, .the latter jury arrived
at th'e steamboat wharf to view the two
bodies in the old freight house. At or near
4 o'clock they proceeded to-Gregory’s Point
to take evidence. Four ofthe first jury

noticeable that, although he calmly persisted
in speaking English and‘iguoring the volu-
blc German of his antagonists, he, in some
rude fashion, accomplished‘his object with-
out losing his temper. or increasing his tem-
perature, while his foreign 'enemy‘was crim-
son with rage and perspiring with heat,
and that presently. having violated a dozen
of the ship’s regulations, he took his place
by the side of a very pretty- girl, apparently
his superior in station, who addressed hi,
as “father.” As the great ship'swung out
into the stream, he was still a central figure‘
on our deck, getting into everybody’s way
addressing all with equal familiarity, im—
pcrturbable to affront or snub, but always
doggedly and consistently adhering to one
purpose, however trivial 'or inadequateto
the means employed. “ You‘re. sittin’ on

third or fourth time tothe elegant,_Miss
Montmorris, who was revisiting. Europe
under high social conditions. I f‘Jist rise' up
while I get it—‘twont take '~ but a- minit.”'
Not only was that lady forced to rise, but
made necessary‘the‘ rising and decomposing
of the whole Montmorris, party who, were;
congregated around her. Themissing “truths.
in” was discovered to be. a' very old- and
battered newspaper. “It’s the Cincinnatty
Times," he explained, as he quickly .took
it up, oblivious to the indignant glances of.
the party. “ It’s alittle squashed by: “you

his appearance one morning, with his daught.

was rolling heavily. at the time,vb_ut with
his usual awkward pertificity’ he insisted-
upon attempting to walk toward thc‘best
part of the deck," as he always did, as if it
were a right and a duty:. A lurch brought
him and his uncertain freight in contact
with the Montmorrisses, there was a moment
of wild confusion, two or three seats were
emptied, and he was finally led away by the
steward, an obviously and Obtrusively sick
man. But when he had disappeared below,
it was noticed that he had secured two
excellent seats for the female companions.
Nobody dared to disturb the elder, nobody
cared to disturb the yOun'ger—whoe it may
be here recorded'hada‘a Certain gaby re;-
serve which checkedaug'ht but 1113 simp-
lest civilities from the masculine paéengers.
A few days later it was discovered that he
was not an inmate of the first, but of the
second *‘cabin ;‘ that the elderly female was
not his wife 'as popularly supposed, but the
room-mate of his daughter in the first cabin.
These facts made his various intrusions on
the saloon deck the more cxasperoting to
, general nature, whemljrivas greatlygrelieved
deal with. Eventually, however, he had, as
usual, his own way; no place was sacred,
or debarrcdhis slouch hat and duster. They
Were turned 'out of the engine room to re-
‘appear upon the bridge; they were forbid-
den the forecastlc,,to rise a ghostly presence
beside the, office in his .solemn supervision

lashed .to the rigging on their way to the
malntop, but for the silent protest of his
daughter’sprescucc on the deck. Most of
his;intcrrupting familial conversation‘ was
addresScdj'to' the interdicted “man at. the
wheel.” _ 5 ‘
Hitherto I had : contented myself with the
f1§ciuutidn of, his presence from afar, wisely,
pll‘haps, (teeming it dangerous to a true pict-
5urcsequc perspective to alter my distance,
”and perhaps like the best of us, I fear; prc.

than to run the risk of alteringit by acloser
acquaintance. But, one daywhen [was loung-

shadow of the slouched hat and the trailing
dustertell upcn‘mc. Thercwas nothing to
do but acceptrit .meekly. Indeed my theory
of the man made me helpless.
' “ I didn't knOw till yesterday who you be,”
he began deliberately, “or I shouldn’t hcv’
been so‘onsocial. But I’ve .always told my
datter that in permisskiss trav’lin a man
oughtcr be keerful of who he meets. I've

5 The most delicate flattery could not have
édone more. To have been in'tbe thought of _

‘ed-Ztn notice even those who paid her atten-
tion was—

appeared in Indian file from behind the,

only to. the Anglo-Saxon nature, shook my
land deliberately, and then dispersed them-
' ,lves in' various serious attitudes. against
the railings. They were honest, well-mean-
ing countrymen of mine, but I could not re-
call a single face. 5 \

ever, ostentatiously went on: -“You see

"and laying his hand familiarly on my knee,
said. “Did I ever tell ye how I kem to go'

I As we ' had never spoken together before,
it was safe to reply that he had not. He

“No,"- I said hastily, “Go on.”
He felt of his kne‘és for amoment, and
then drew a long breath.- “Perhaps,” he be-
gan deliberately, “ye don’t know that I'm a

“Kan’t do it? I’ve done it !"

Cook’s tourist; I kin see Cook and give him

I don’t recken on travel with Loo. She’ll go
first class. But I’ll be near her if it’s in the
steerage of the ship, or in the baggage car of
a railroad. I don’t need much in the way of
grub or clothes, and now andthen 1 kin
pick up a job. Perhaps you disremember
that row I had down in the engine room,
when they chucked me out of it ?"
I could . not help looking at him with as.
tonishment; there was evidently only a
pleasant -‘memory in his mind. YetI rc-
called that I felt indignant for him and his
daughter. - _
“Well, that d—m fool of a Dutchman,
that chief engineer, give me a job the other
day. Andef I hadn’t just forced my way»
down there, and talked sassay at-~ him, and
criticised his'macheen, he’d hev never knowd

Do you see the pint?” .
I thought I began to see it. But I could‘
not help thinking what his daughter thought
of traveling in this inferior way.
He laughed. “When I. was gettin’ up some

only princes, fools and Americans travelled
first-class.’ You see I told her it didn’t any
‘women' for they naturally would ride first-
classfiand Amerikan gals being princessess,
didn't count. Don’t you see ?” '
If I did not quite follow his logic, nor see
my way clearly into hisdaug‘ater‘s acqui-
escence through this speech, some light may
be thrown upon it from his next utterance.
I had risen with some vague words of con-
gratulatiOu on his success, and was about to
leave him when he called me back.
“Did I tell ye,” he said, cautiously looking
around, yet with a smile of stifled enjoyment
.in his face, “did I tell ye what that gal—my
darter—sed to me? No, I didn’t tell ye——llcr
no 0 c else alore. Come here i" ,
He made me _draw 'down closely into the
shadow undflsecrccy of the round house.
“That night that I told my gal she should'
go abrOad, I say. to her, quite chipper like
and free, ‘I say, Loocy,’ sez' I, ‘ye’ll be going
for to marry some 0’ them counts, or dukes,
or potentates, I reckon, 'and ye’ll "leave the
old man. And she sez, scz she, looking me
squar in the eye—did ye ever notiss that gals
eye?” ‘ .
“She has fine eyes,” I replied cautiously.
“They is ez clean as a fresh milk pan, and
cz bright. Nothing sticks to ’cm. Eh?"
"‘You are right."
“Well she looks up at me this way"—
llel'e he achieved a vile imitation of his
daughter's modest glance, not at all like her
--"and looking at me, she sez quietly.
"That’s what I'm goin’ for, and to improve
He! He! He! It's a fuck!
To marry a nobleman, and improve her
mind! Ha! Ha! Ha!” '
The, evident-enjoyment that he took in this,
and the quiet ignoring of anything of a moral
quality in his daughter's sentiments, or in
his thus confidingthem to a strangel’s ear,
again upset all'm‘y theories. 1 may say here
that 'it is one of ihe evidences of original
character, that is apt Tto ‘bafilc all prognosis
from a. mere observer's standpoint. But I
recalled it some month’s after.
We parted in England. It was not neces-
sary, in this brief chronicle, to repeat the
various stories of “Uhcle Joshua,” as the
younger and more frivolous of our passen-_ ,
gers called him. nor that'two-thirds of the
stories repeated-were utterly at variance
with my estimate of the character of the
man, although Imay add that I was also
doubtful of the accuracy of my own estimate.
.But one quality was always dominent—his
resistless, dogged ‘pertinacity and calm im-
perturbability! “He askeu Miss Moutr
morlis if she ‘minded’ singing a little in the
second cabin to liven it up, and added, as
auindupement, that they didn't know good
music from bad, said chk ,Walker to me.
"And when he mended “the broken lock of
my trunk, be absolutely prepothed to me to
athk couthiu Grace if she didn‘t want a
‘koorier’ to travel with her to ‘do mechan-
ics’ provided he would take charge of that
dreadfully dcaf-and-dumb daughter of his.
Wothn't it funny? Really, he’th one of your
characters,” said the youngest Miss Mont-
morris to me as we made our adieu on the
steamer.
i am' afraid he is not, although he was
good enough afterwards to establish one or
two of my theories regarding him. I was
enabled to assist him once in an alteration he
had with a cabman regarding the fare of his
.daughter, the cabman retaining a distinct
impression that the father had also ridden
in as he undoubtedly had. I heard that he
had forccd‘his way into a ccrthin great house
in England, and that he was ignominiously
rejected, but I also heard that ample apolo:
' gics had been made to a certain quiet daught-
er of his who was'witllout on the lawn,
and that also a certain personage, whom I
approach, even in this vague way, took a
fancyto the poor child, and hadiuvited her
to a reception. ' ‘
But this is only hearsay evidence. So also
is the story which met me in Paris, that he
had beep up with his daughter in the captive
balloon, and that at an elevation of several
thousand feet from the earth, he had made
some remarks upon the attaching cable and
the drum on which the ‘cable revolved,
which not only excrtedthe interest of the
passengers, bat attracted the attention of the
authorities, so that he was not only given a .
gratuitous ascent afterwards, but was, I am
told, offered a gratuity” But Ishall restrict
this narrative to the few facts of which I was
personally cognizant in the career of this
remarkable person;
I was at a certain entertainment given in
Paris by the heirs, executors, and assignees
of an admirablevmau, long since gathered
to his fathers in Pcre la Chaise, but whose
Shakespeare-like buststill looks.calmly and
benevolently down on the riotous rovelry
of absurd wickedness of which he was,
when living, the patron saint. The enter-
tainment was of such a character that, while
the pcrfprmers were chiefly women,ama-
jority of the spectators were men. Tllc few
exceptions were foreigners, and among
them I quickly recognized my fair country-
women, the Moutmorriscs. “Don’t they
that you've tllccn us here," said the young
‘est Miss Montmorris, “for itll only a
Itll awful funny! And that friend
of youth from Injiauny ith here with llitll

sternatiou, was his shy and modest daughter.
In another moment I was at his side. “I-
really think—I am afraid—” I began in a
whisper, “that you have made a mistake. I
don’t think you can be aware,of the char-
acter of this place. Your daughter—3’
“Kern here with Miss Moutmorris. She’s
yer. I’ts all right.” ‘
I was at my wit’s end. Happily at this
moment, Mlle. Rochefort, from the Oranger-
ieskipped out in the quadrille immediately
before us, caught her light skirts in either
hand and executed a pas that liftedthe hat
from th e eyes of some of the spectators, and
pulled it down over the eyes of others. The
Montmorrisses fiutteredaway with a. half-
hysterical' giggle 'and ,a' half-confounded
escort. The modefitylookiug Miss Loo, who
had been staring at everything quite indiffer-
ently, suddenly stepped, _._up,took her father’s
arm, and said sharp y, .’.‘.§Come.”
At this momenta voice in English, but an-
mistakably belonging to, .the politest nation
in the World, rosc'zfrOm behind the girl,
mimickingly. “My God! it‘is shocking. I
bloosl'll O dammit!” ‘ . -
In an instant he Was in the hands of
“Uncle Joshau,” and forced back clamoring
against the railing, his hat smashed over his
foolish furious files,~and half his shirt and
cravat in the old man’s strong grip. Several
students rushed to the rescue of their com-
panion, but one or two EngliShmen and half
a dozen Americans-had managed in some
mysterious way to bound into the arena. I
looked hurriedly for Miss Louise, 'but she
was gone. When we had extricated the old
man from. the melee, I asked him where-
she was. '
“Oh I reckon she's gone off with Sir Ar.
thur. I saw him here just as I pitched into
the damned fool.”
“Sir Arthur 1” I asked.
“He’s an acquaintance 0' Loo's.”
“She’s in my carriage, just outside," inter;
rupted a handsome young fellow, with the
shoulders of a giant and blushes of a girl.
“It’s all over now, you know. It was rather
a foolish lark, you coming here with her
without
about it you‘_kuow. But this way—thank
you. .She’s waiting for you,” and in another
instant he and the old man had vanished.
Nor did I see him again until he stepped
into the railway carriage with me on the way
to Liverpool. “You see I’m trav’lin first-
class now," he said, “but goia’ home Irdon't
mind atrifie cxtry expense.” “Then you’ve
made your tour,” I asked, ,‘_‘and are‘succcss.
ful ?” “Wall, yes, we saw Switzerland and
Italy, and if we hadn’t been short of time,
we’d lhcv gone to Egypt. Mebbe next win-
ter I’ll run over again to see Loo, and do it.’-
Then your daughter does not 'return with
you ?” I continued in some astonishment.
“Wall, no—she’s visiting some of Sir Ar-
thuris relatives in Kent. .Sir Arthur is there
-‘—perhaps you recollect him ?” a He paused
a moment looked cautiously around and
with the same enjoyment he had shown on
shipboard, said: ‘fDo you remember the

Of love that faded e'er its prime.
_ ,1 of. filled some life with glory.
Not mine the lips to tell the- bliss
Of youth’s first happy dreamings
The ecstasy of love’s first kiss,
So heavenly in its seeming
Not mire to tell of hopes that rose
Bes'phn‘lant, at their dawning,
It; bitter anguish each heart knows-
Another’s’ pity accruing.
What boot; it now to tell of eyes
_ That shone with starry splendor,
Thlugh blue as clouds in yonder skies,
Though seeming true and fender,—
Though filled with liquid shining light,
Yet provel they oft deceiving,
Till love’s sky turned to darkest night
No hope its gleam relieving. ' '
With folded hands above the heart
That breaking, hid the sorrow,
Why strive to raise the veil in part
Eor such there dawns no marrow.

“Justdoyour best for Jesus‘ safes."
“Twas mother whispered in my ear! .
I’ll do my best for mother deart'.’
Said loving Ben, in softer mood;
“She is so gentle and so good,"—
And reached his hands his books to take.
“Nay, do your best for Jeaus‘ sake !"
“He loves you better far than I!
Think how He gave himself to die !
And every thing that gives you joy ‘
Comes from His loving hand, my boy.

So much has been said about Smith's ad-
venture with the moose in Janet near Jack‘s
Lake, and so little of which approximltes
‘the truth, that the writer who was one of
the party. deems it best to give the details in
as few wards as possible. _
The party consisted of .seven men, all ex-
perienced in wood life and memberd'o'f the
“Norway Foresters," as' folloWs: Charles
Hall, M. D., Hiram Austin, Walter sewn, ;
Zenas Smith, and Willis Kelley,_of Nerf
way, and Jay Delevan and 'George IL; ’
Worden, of Prospect. They organizcdfat
the house of Ed, Wilkinsou, at Wil‘m'urt,
J title 5, and proceeded‘to the mouth ' of
Indian River, which makes into the west‘
branch of the West Canada creek, about
fifteen miles above Ed. W:lkinson’s on the
side. Here we went into camp :and stayed
until after dinner, when Smith’s adventure"
began. . ’
Zénas Smith :is rather below medium
height, with sandy complexion, clear gray
eyes, and, withala fine looking, frank, easy
appearing young man Of twenty-fiveyears-
He and myself were to take the baskets and
go to the "Four Mile Stillwater," on the
West Branch, and if we found the fishing
good, were to camp there and fish the ne‘x't‘
day, a distance of about five milesfrom
where we were. We left camp about 12
11., and kept along the creek trail for over'
a mile, when we came to the marked birch
for the cut-of. saving about a mile’s" tramp
from the bend of the creek. Taking ach‘
supposed, the right direction, we travelled
for three hours, and not reaching Our desti; '
tidation concluded we bad;been bearing too.
much west, so made a sharp turnito the-
right, expecting to strike the stream in half ’
an hour 'at most. ‘
While we were clambering along in this
manner we w’ere suddenly startled by' the
appearance directly in- front of us, and not
more than twenty rods distant, of a large
mo'csc, and making directly for us. In the
same breath Smith caught me by the should-
er and pointed to a tree near the moose,
where I beheld the glittering eyes of a pan-
thcr. We were without "arms or ammuni-
tiou of any kind, the only. offensive or" ‘
defensive weapOns we possessed being cur
pocket-knives. I“ confess r-to being more
than frightened at the time, and seeing the
coolness omeith‘ _I determined: not to let
himsee my knees rattle. ”-By this time the
moose, was upon us; at'a glance we knew
that he came for protection, but the huge
panther still loomed upon _ us, but had stop-
ped in his headlong course ?”
“Smith,” said I, “how is this i"
“I believe we are all right,” said Smith.
“The moose has come to us for protection,
consequently he is' not belligerent; the pan-
then is undoubtedly. cowed by‘our. numbers,
or dare not tackle a 'man'. ‘Let us build a
fire and I will stay here wfiile you go back .
to camp and bring my rifle, and have one of
the other boys come back with you.
To this I demurred for along timc,but
finally concluded to ' go, leaving all my traps
with Smith, to make the more rapid pro-
gross. This part of the Story cnnbc told
very shortly. I got lost, wandered around
till after dark, built a fire, slept some, got
up next day and travelled till dark again,
built a fire, and started next morning and
ll'al'nped man about 10 A. 11., when I came ' . 4
ton stream, and, folldwing it down, came '
to Jock’s Lake outlet shanty, and from'
there went ink to the Indian shanty, with
the first man to greet r.me was Smith-whom:
[supposed had been converted into pan”-
starved, but asked, “Smith, how he was?"
“After you left,” said Smith, “I got all
the wood together I could and kept up the.
fire, the moose standing backa little, but
keeping the between itself and the panther,
which kept his position in the tree. We
kept this up all night, the moose one side
of me. the panther glaring with his eyeballs.
of fire upon the other, and you may imagine
I acted my part as middle-man without
getting very sleepy. About sunrise Thurs;
day morning the panther gave a- terrific
growl, sprang from the tree and rapidly
- good shape, the youn
disappeared in the forest. While I- was
watching the panther I had .not thonght
anything about the moose, and finally, when
I turned my head, he was gone. Iimme-
diatelv came to camp and found you gone.
Some went to look for you, some went back
- with me, but we found no further trace of
either the. moose or panther.”-—Leuer in
