sure that my voice was exerted as only a
woman in distress knows how to exert her
voice. I retraoed my steps in as much of a
run as the flame of my candle permitted,
pausing at every Opening 1 passed to call and
listen. The echoes of my calls were simply
fiendish in the way they came back to me.
They were far from human in tone—more
like derisive howls uttered from the cold,

side with their hideous, sunken eyes. As
these echoes only added to my tribulation I
refrained from calling any more. My voice.
was gone, at any rate. The ghoulish atmos-
phere seemed to defy any efiort above a
hoarse whisper. Thus I wandered from one
gallery into another, into caverns and out of
them and back into other gflleries again,and
all the while going further and further into
the must dangerous section of the Catacombs,
wherq’p visitors are never conducted. I
wandered this way for nearly two hours.
The silence was so oppressive that even the
squealing of rats would have been welcome,
but the Catacombs are singularly free from
this vermin. So long as my candle held out
I kept heart and did not despair. When its
'flame‘began- to grow weak I lessened my

crawling creature was attacking me. Iemerg-

thought was an enormous chamber, but its
darkness was so black that I came to a stand-

The atmosphere was colder and purer than
what I had yet experienced in the place.

Going after Grapes.
‘On the morning of the ninth we started
out with about a thousand others—part from
Detroit and the rest from Windsor, on the
Canada side,—on an excursion to Put-ln-Bsy
Island, to visit the vinyards and eat of the
fruit thereof. Our steamer must have been
considered perfectly reliable, 'as it carried no
life preservers, excepting those said to be
under the berths in the staterooms. Those
were securely locked, and there were not >
even the short planks, with rope handles.that
we are so accustomed to see; not even the
awkward “life saving settee ;" yet, consider.
ing all that, the absence of those implements
suggested, we settled ourselves down to com-
fort, and listened to the music of the ‘hand
that came withu s to help beguile the time.
We watched the lovely emerald tints of
Erie water, and the pretty purple shadows
thrown thereon by the long and not lovely
train of smoke that drifted incur wake. As
bituminous coal is us'edihjerc’on the steamers,
one may imagine the dirt and smut that
gradually accumulated on us from head to
foot, as we sat on deck, till the sixty miles
were passed over and we touched- shore.
We passed Fort Wayne, 'Wysndotte, with
its iron work's, sno‘wnerezceienuo sends its
silver ore to be‘amelted : pretty Grease Isle,
with its sinnme'r hotsh‘snd just befofe’laudff
ing we passed a revenue cutter, standing in:
Put-in-Bsy. - ~ ~ "j."
We stepped ofl the gang plank to "the tune
of “Sweet Bye and Bye," and walked up
through a large grove 'that'is furnished with
seats and tables, much after the fashion of
our own Roton.
Some lingered here to spread the lunch
they had wisely 'brought‘with them, while-
others passed on to the numerous refreshment
rooms, to be “gullsd” more or less, according
to their own willingness. g
Soon the thousand were scattered here and
there among the vinyards, and myself and
companion wandered away by ourselves, till
we came up to a large party who had‘halted
by a hedge, on the other sideof which was
pacing a frightened German'girl. They were
demanding entrance to the field, and she,not
understanding English, and yet comprehend-
ing their desires, was vainly telling them, in
her own language, how that the man was
' away and she was in care but could not sell,
and also that the grapes of that particular
field, being Deiawares, were not yet quite
ripe. - - ~ _
The young men had lost their temper and
were pitching into her in a manner rinse um
“just awful,” while the women laughed, and
the little children laughed and grinned at the
poor girl.
Taking in the situation at a glance, I pass-
ed in through a gap 'in the hedge, and
mastering up my German, spoke for a mo-
ment with the girl. and then made an expla-
nation to the crowd, who quietly turned
away and bled themselves to other fields.
The poor girl was almost beside herself, and
felt so profoundly grateful that she offered
to give us all of the grapes we might wish
for if we would come again a little later.
Entering a yard of Concords we had our
fill of ulcer grapes than can be found in
market. A buxom madchen of some sixteen
summers clipped the handsome bunches with
a peculiar kind of shears, as she held the
stem carefully between finger and ‘ thumb.
So we received the luscious clusters with all
their purple bloom untarnished.
Near by was in extensive yard of Cataw-
bn’s, big drops of wine hanging in the sun,
not ready yet for the palate, though we took
a taste; two weeks more and who goes there
will have a rare treat. All anound us, every.
where, were these vinyards, and people
come through all the season,just as we came,
to get their fill of grapes, fresh plucked from
the vines. v
Of course they do not have this for noth—
ing, but the price is nothing to speak of ;
twenty-five cenu paid for all we cared to eat
and to bring away'in our hands. '
In our rambles we came across the build
ings of the “Put—ln-Bay Island Wine 00,"
where a stalwart German 'pilotedius about
among thewlae casks, and gave us eacha
glass of sweet Catawba—a charming drink
we found it, and this information he gave us
which may be interesting.— In the building
where we stood sr's' isveuty-six' casks, con-
taining from eleven hundred and fifty-two
gallons to twenty-five hundred and fifty gal-
lons, mostly ranging from fifteen hundred
to eighteen hundred (client; the oldest on
hand is six years old. Their wines are "Dry
Catawba," “Sweet Catawba," Delaware, Con-
cord, and Ives' Seedling Fruit. .
Just here we were joined by'another'Ger-
man, younger, but juwv as" stalwart "as the.
other. Withachecry face,‘ahandsome cleft '
chin and great honest eyes; he showed us
the half dozen large presses. I tried to find
out their wholesale and retail prices, but
they could not speak English sufilcient to
give the list plainly, and we had no time to
wait for printed liststo be hunted up. , One
may understand the extent of theseva
when I say that the coming 'oI'a‘ll this‘then- '
as made no impress on the vines, though
three-quarters of the number took baskets
of the fruit away with them, and just as we
came do others come, throughout the grape
season.
We visited only one island, and of islands
here, there are many, and most of them, like
this, are covered with vinyards.
Came across the sign “‘Huuker's bath
houses,” and followed the plank walk till we
reached the building containing the waiting
room; here were chairs in plenty and two
nice stuffed lounges; overhead hung life
preservers, and less then two hundred feet
out were stretched the life lines.
The bothers can step down into mud or
walk on large pebbles; it is not “nice" to
one accustomed to a good ocean beach.

candle expired, and here nature gave way. I
fainted within three feet of the edge of that
awful abyss. The chilliness of the air revi-
ved me after awhile. Iopened my eyes.

out my arms, and felt only the slimy mud in
which I was lying. I turned my head and
my cheek rested against a clammy skull.
Ohl mv God. how I prayed for death. One:
more I became unconscious. and I lay for
eighteen hours insensible. It was fortunate
that I fell where I did. Had I fallen in any
of the galleries restricted to visitors I might
have lain undiscovered thirty days, for, as
you are aware, the ‘Catacombs are on public
view only once a month. As it was 'I fell at
a spot frequented by the workmen daily em-
ployed in the place. The pitnear me they
used as a dumping hole for refuse bone litter.
Had I tumbled into that pit my body- would
have been covered 'up with tons of ghastly
dumpings before the search for me would
have been extent‘ed to the awful hollow."

“What were the. circumstances of your
rescue?" the reporter asked. = I . .-
“I again recovered consciousness," Miss
Darling narrated, “just-=1nsefloh to attract
the attention of 'a retreating'wo'rkmau. Too

he was a courageous fellow to return my fixed

managed to touch his foot, whereupon he
started up, lit a spare candle, placed it on the
ground beside me, and then hastened away.

feet‘ that I had been found dead. It was ten

I had been lost’in the Inferno of Paris since
two o’clock the previous afternoon."
. st ARM or m suaeon.
“Had there been any search for you insti-
tuted in the meantime ‘r” the reporter in-
quired. . .
'“None whatever," the actress rejoined.
“My companions knew nothing of my mis-
fortune until they'read it in the next day's
afternoon papers. There were so many of
us, and we had been somewhat independent
in our movements in the Catacombs, lagging
behind or distancing each other, and disper-
sing unceremoniously upon regaining terra
"firma, that my absence could not have been
definitely noted. , My family were ignorant
of my having gone to the Catacombs. I met
the party on their way there and was person:
tied to join them. There was, of course, no'
little commotion at my hotel when I failed to
return that evening. The police were notifi-
ed and preparations made to begin, the next
morning, to drag the River Seine for my
remains, on the suspicion that I had been
waylaid, robbed and murdered and my body
cast into the river. But the intelligence of
my rescue obviated that intention. "
Miss Darling here brought from an adjoin-
ing room the once handsome dress she wore
on the eventful night. It was stiff and caked
with mud, and irrctrievsbly ruined.
“This adventure of mine," the heroine
concluded, “is not likely to befall any one else
in the future, for the guides have since been
instructed to count their parties in escort at
certain points in the Catacombs. Some years
agoa gentleman went astray just as I did.
He was found dead two hours subsequently.
I cannot conceive how I survived, for I used
«to be a fearful coward. If anything, the mis-
hap has made me braver, but not by any

Another Acquisition.
John B. Moore, of Concord, Mass. , is well
known as the originator of the now famous
Concord Grape. He has recently propagated
a new and larger grape of much the habit of'
the Concord, but twenty days earlier and so
much larger in size that its bunches looks like
well perfected Black Hamburgs. George
Seymour having purchased a lot of the vines
last Spring, Mr. Moore has sent him several
bunches of the delicious grapes. It is cer—
tainly a very great acquisition in our hardy
fruit line.
The Historical Dictionary of thewEnglish
lang which the Philological Society has
has h in band for more than twenty years
is at last to be nblished. The Delegates of
the Clarendon rcss in the University of
Oxford, have assumed the entire financial re—
sponsibility of the publication. Dr. Murray,
the President of the Social , has undertaken
to edit it with a corps of an ditors. A first
part of four hundred pages, containing the
etter A, is to be ready in 1882, and the rest
to follow in thecourse of ten years, if pos-
sible. The raw material for the work con-
sists of quotations illustrating the use of all
the English words by all writers of all ages,
and in all senses. 'lhese are written accord-
ing to a uniform plan, each on a slip of paper
of the size of a half a sheet of note paper. ,
An appeal wasmade in January, 1859, to the
English and American public to assist in
making these quotations. Dr. Murray finds
some two tons' weight of slips accumulated.
In the earliest period, where the books are
few, the work is fairly done or promised, but
in the later centuries man books remain an-
touched. A new “Ap‘pea " is. issued for help.
A thousand readers are asked for'to complete
the reading, and send in the slips'within the
next three years. For Amencan readers
American books-are left. Hardly} any have
yet been touched. _ Dr. .Murray has also,
with generous confidence in American schol—
ars, left them the unfinished books .of the
eighteenth century. :. , At 'least four or five
hundred American readers are needed in or-
der to accomplish thoroughly so soon what
is thus allotted to them. Any one can help,
especially with modern books. Mr. Murray’s
pupils have supplied him with five thousand
good quotations during the past month. But
of' course persons who have access to original
editions of authors of the eighteenth century,
and who have some scholastic preparation
for the work, must do the most important
part of it. ‘
Prof. Marsh, of Lafayette College, has
urged Prof. Johnston, of Norwalk, to lend
his services in the above elaborate work and
he has consented to act as one of the assist-
ants in this country. .

A rare Plant about to Bloom.
m LARGEST CENTURY PLANT EVER GROWN
HERE TO BE BERN IN BROOKLYN.
There may now be seen in the grounds of
John F. Phillips, a Broad street broker liv.
ing at No. 1 Second place, Brooklyn, a cen-
tury plant which will shortly blossom. This
plant was brought from Cuba. about five
years ago, and was then as large as it. is
now, with the exception of the tall stalk
which rises from the centre. This stalk, or
flower-spike, began to grow July 12. It
has already reached the height of twenty-
two feet, and is about five inches in circum-
ference at the base. From the upper part
of this branches, in length from a few in—
ches to two feet, grow out at irregular in—
tervals, and on these the flowers are pro-
duced. Mr. Phillip’s gardener estimates
that this plant will have 800 to 1,000 blos-
soms. It was expected that the plant would
bloom this week, but the cool weather has
hindered its growth and the flowers will not
be seen, probably before September 1. This
century plant, standing in Mr. Phillip’s
grounds, which can be seen by passers on
Henry street, has attracted much attention
and many persons have come to see it. Flor-
ists and others, who have seen many of
these plants in both this country and Eur-
ope,';say that this is the largest overgrown
in temperate climates, Its thick lsnceo-
late leaves measure seven feet in length and
six inches in width.

The SYMPTOMS of Liver Complaint are a bit-
ter or bad taste in the mouth; Pain in the Back,
Sides or Joints, often mistaken for Rheumatism;
SourStomach ; Loss of Appetite : Bowals alter-
nately eostlve and lax; Headache; Loss of mem-
cry, with a painful sensation of having failed to
do something which ought to have been done ;
Debi‘li'ty, Low Spirits, a thick yellow appearance
of the skin and eyes, a dry cough often mistaken
for Consumption.
Sometimes many of these a ptoms attend the
disease, at others very few; at the LIVER, the
largest organ in the body, is generally the seat of
the disease, and if not regulated in time, great
suffering, wretchedneas and Death will ensue.

Celebrated Safes,
In purchasing a. Safe, we wish to call your
attention to some of the important advantages
our Safes possess over all others, and which
make them the cheapest and best Safes now
made. -
1st. Our “PATENT Insmn Ben's WORK"
consists in placing the bolts and locks on the
inside of the door (as shown in the cut abovo;
where they are at all times accessible, an
can be cleaned and kept in order, and thus
prevent them from unexpectedly looking you
out. In all other Safes the bolts are placed
next the outside plate of iron, being covered
completely by the filling, consequently im-
possible to oil or clean them without digging
out the filling, which is expensive, besides
losing the use of the Safe several da s. As
the filling in our Safes is between t 9 looks
and bolts and the outside plate of the door,
in most cases we can unlock our safes on the
combination after they have passed through a
severe fire, which saves breaking them open.
2d. Our "PATENT HINGE!) CAP" consists
of the back plate of the door being hung on
hinges, and fastened by a. thumb-serew,which
enables one to have access to the locks and
bolts by simply removing the thumb-screw.
3d: While other safe-makers use three
wheel locks on their firoiproof safes (reserv-
ing the best four-wheel locks for bank safes),
we put on our FOUR-WHEEL Loans .on all
safes, from the smallest to the largest, and for
4th. All our Safes are IRON-LINED msrmr,
instead of wood-lined as in other safes, which
enables us to use the the‘greatest amount of
water in our filling without' dan er of the
Safe's being damp. All corners o the Safes
are secured with angle iron, which, together
with the vezohard nature of our filling, pre -
vents them in injury from falling, or fall—
ing walls or timbers. Our Safes have THREE
missus instead of single or double as in
others, and are made with and without inside
doors. In the great Boston fire our Safes had
the champion record, as was fully proved at
the time, to these important improvements
do we owe our success and fly great popular-
ity our safes have attained throughout the
country. After that great fire we published
a complete list of our Safes exposed,thoae that
failed to preserve their contents, besides those
that were successful, and for months chal-
lenged our competitors to follow our example
which they would not do, as they knew that
by so doing they would only assist usin dem-
onstratin to the world the superiority of our
Safes, an our claim to the champion record.
Although that Great Fire so conclusively
roved the superiority of our Safes to resist
intense best, we behaved that we could im.
prove them, and we have, therefore, since
that time, increased the thickness of the walls,
added to the number of flanges, and strength-
ened them in various ways, until we now
manufacture a Safe better than ever before,
.and unetiualled for its excellence. It has been
our constant aim-to make the snow Sara that
can be produced, believing that, especially in
purchasing a safe to keep’ that which may
have cost a lifetime to accumulate,'the best is
decidedly the cheapest. In these dull times
it is the custom of many safe—makers to man-
ufacture several grades of cheap safes, and
recommend that which can be sold the cheap-
est, without regard to quality, and. many
safes are now in use that are painted finely
outside, but are worthless to preserve their
contents from fire. We make but one class
of Safes, which is the best we know how to
produce. Send for descriptive catalogue.

his establishment the greatest armory in. the
world, manufacturing all kinds of munitions
of war, but his early death, at forty-six,
seemed to put a stop to all progress. It ap-
pears remarkable what the man accomplished
in his comparatively short career. But his
whole life was full of spirit, dash and cour-
age, over-reaching all opposition and defying
it, and if be had attended to business alone
and encouraged no artificial excitement he
would have added vastly to Hartford’s busi-
ness enterprise, I have heard recently of an
incident characteristic of his methods, when
he was living a bachelor life in a suite or
rooms in the old Union Hall building. One
of our staid, temperate -citizens went to
him and solicited a subscription in aid of a
new church building. ‘Yes,’ said can, ‘I’ll
give something, provided you'll take a gins
of brandy and water with me and let me mix
the drink—I’ll give $500." The temperance
man said he never drank, but Colt’ said he
would give under no other consideration.
Total abstinence and moral convictions held
in the balance against the good cause, and
finally the man yielded. Colt gave him an
unusually solid drink,and then drew his check
for $500. The man started on a run almost
for his house and went to bed as speedily as
possible, having aboard Colt’s brandy and
check as heavy weights, and when he awoke ‘
sober—minded he looked at the $500 and for-
gave himself his temporary stupor, and has
since this day, I believe, been a consistent
temperance man.”—Hartfcrd 'Post.

SHE was a true woman—a woman of sound,
practical sense, with a big heart, brimming
with a woman’s generous and thoughtful
sympathies. She was no idler, waiting for
somegood occasion to do good to her fellow
mortals; but she improved all the little daily
opportunities of her humble and narrow life.
She lived in Wisconsin. Her husband was
one of the early settlersvof the state. They
had gone far out on the open prairie and
taken up their half section seven miles from
any neighbor. And in these early days of
Wisconsin it was years before there were
other settlers within that circuit.
It was a. tempestuous winter night, the -
good woman with her husband and little ones
were gathered about their blazing fire in their
lonely but comfortable home. The howlings
of the wind awakened anxieties that disturb.
ed her woman heart, and every little while
she would go to the windows and earnestly
peer into the pitcliy blackness that had settled
upon all the prairies.

.And the lighted candle was placed in the
window, and faithfully returned there every
night through all that winter. And the next
winter too—every night the same kind,
thoughtful hand put the light in the window.
It was far towards spring in aterrible Febru-
ary storm. when the little solitary candle was
sending its blessed rays as far into tne dark-
ness as their feeble power could reach, when
a rap, quick and anxious, was heard at the
door. A traveler, with his wife and babes,
perishiug with hunger and cold, having lost
the narrow road, after long hours of wander-
ing upon the trackless and unmarked prairie,
at length had discovered the light, and had
found shelter and all the comforts of a happy
home. '
And the good woman had found her re-
ward. It was a little thing in itself—the
simple placing of a candle in the window—
but it was born of a generous impulse and
faithfully persevered in, and at length had
saved a family from a cruel death.
Dear reader, how much would be added to
human happinessif we would all have a care
for the little things which lie right about us.

Thou no ray of light and joy can’st throw;
If no silken chord of love hath bound thee

“If no dear eyes thy fond love can brighten;
INo fond voices ansWer to thine own ;
If no brother’s sorrow thou can’st lighten
By daily sympathy and gentle tone."

Thieves Living In Clover.
A peculiar pleasure incident to a vacation
out of town will long he remembered by a
family dwelling in Madison avenue in this
city. Some time ago the members of this
family locked up their house and went to
Massachusetts. It is to be hoped that. they
enjoyed themselves there, because they can

scarcely feel very happy upon their rotum
home. It seems that their house has been
entered by burglars and robbed. This Is bad
enough, but such things happen now and
then, and the risk is one which the citizen
runs more or less consciously. But this is
not all. - The thieves have been living in the
house-for several weeks it is supposed.
They evidently have had a good time during
the summer, whether the lawful owners have
had one or not. They furmsh' ed themselves
with comforts in the shape cf beds and other
necessary things, and with luxuries in the
form5 of champagne and other wines and like
delicacies. To the injury of robbery is thus
added the insult of occupation; and as the
family sorrowfully wends its way back from
Massachusetts perhaps, it will agree . with "an
eminent poet of that State, that “To stay at
home is best."—.N'. Y. Evening Post.
