What is the mystery, sweet rose,
Which thou wilt not reveal?
What secret in thy golden heart
Dost thou so long conceal?
The crimson of thy velvet cheek
Might seem the flush of shame,
Did not thy pure and modest air
Forbid the thought of blame.
Perelmnce ‘Iis angel’s fiery glow,
Because the lordly sun
Too ardent in his wooing grew,
And deemed thee lightly won.
Or to that dazzling butterfly,
That flirts with every flower,
Has! Loon too fondly listened
'Tlll'i'ni:'_‘,‘il one enchanted hour?
And since the faithless rover
Forgets r.;c‘.i whispered vow.
Like a mortal art thou pining
Upon thy lonely bough.
Still, still to my soft pleading
But half thv charms disclose,
Though in thy full orbed splendor
Thou wouldst be the peerless rose.
But, ah! take heed, thou blossom coy i
'l‘hy May will soon be past;
With every fleeting moment
Thy bloom is fading fast.
So hasten ere it be too late
To nobly master pain—
Shine forth in all thy vesture bright
And thou‘lt notlivc in vain.

THE CARPENTERS MATE.
Twenty years ago I commanded one of
their vessels, the Norseman, of the old Al-
esworth line of Liverpool. She was in the
‘ast India trade at the time, and I was
about to make my first voyage as master.
I had been with her the previous voyage in
the capacity of chief mate, and was more
than pleased when the li rm called me into
their private ofilce and offered me the com-
mand of the ship.
I had just been married, and it is need-
less to say that I accepted the firm’s Offer, ,
'it the same time arranging to have my
wife accompany me on the voyage.
“I have a favor to ask of you, Capt.
Thornton," said Mr. Burlingame, the sen-
or partner, when we were alone, “and I
rely upon your honor to keep the matter
onlixlential.”
l bowed, and Mr. Burliugame went on:
“My daughter Evelyn has become infat-
uated with one of my clerks, and he has
ad the assurance to ask her hand in mar-
iage. He has been dismissed from our
mploy, and I have seen nothing of him
ince. My daughter has taken the matter
not with you on a voyage, in the hope that
be change of scene and the companionship
f your wife and yourself may bring back
he roses to her cheek. Anything you can
0 to assist in having her forget this
vretched infatuation will be appreciated.”
I had little faith in my ability to cause
Iiss Evelyn to forget her lover; besides,
s I had just entered the married state my—
'elf, I could hardly be expected to sympa-
hizc with a plan for the separation of two
ving hearts, but I promised to care for
he shipowncr’s daughter as far as was in
1y power, and the interview terminated.
The following morning my wife audI
vent aboard the Norseman, which was ly-
ng at anchor in the Mersey.
fr. Burlingarne and his daughter came
board. The latter was a. handsome young
. oy of 22 years, but her sweet face was
ale and sad, and although she said noth-
ng, it was evident that the thought of
caving home affected her deeply.
Farewells were over, the anchor was
weigh and Mr. Burlingame, after a part—
ng grasp of the hand, and a whispered ad-
uonition to “take good care of Evelyn,”
tepped aboard the tender and returned to
bore. We were towed down the Mersey,
rosscd the bar, and dismissing our tug
ilot, bore away for the Cape of Good
Iopc.
- ter we were well under way all hands
ere called aft to 'choose watches As the
rew filed by one of their number, a fine
oking young fellow, attracted my atten—
lOll.
“Who is that young man?” I asked,
ointing him out to Mr. Everson, my chief
late.
“Kenneth Gardner; he shipped as car-
Ilenter’s mate,” was the reply.
Just as the crew ranged themselves in :1.
Inc, a little abaft the mainmast, the ladies
ame on deck and walked forward to where
was standing.
Aslturned to greet them Iwas startled
y a scream from Miss Burlingame, and
be next moment I was holding her limp
rm in my arms. She was at once taken
clow and soon recovered consciousness,
ut could give no explanation of her faint-
ig fit.
“’6 were scarcely two weeks out before I
oticed a great change in Miss Burlin-
ame. The roses had returned to her
books, and she seemed well pleased with
er situation aboard the Norseman.
She went all over the ship, sometimes
ccompanied by my wife, and sometimes
one. Several times I noticed her in con-
ersation with the carpenter’s mate, and,
y curiosity being aroused, T. walked for‘
and one day and got into conversation
'ith him. ’
I found Gardner an intelligent fellow,
ossessing a surprising familiarity with
Ic rules of navigation and all matters
ertaining to the merchant marine. I
nought it a little singular that a man of
is intelligence and apparent abilityhad
0 better position than that of carpenter’s
late on an English merchantman, and
id him so.
His reply was that his limited resources
ad prevented his gratifying in any other
.3). his passion for traveling and seeing
' e world. The explanation was not eat-
factory, but a look into the handsome,
muly face convinced me that Whatever
is reasons were for being on the Norse-
ian in his present capacity they did not
oncel‘ll me, and I asked him no further
nest-ions on the matter.
In due time we doubled the Cape of
ood Hope, ran the castings down, and
ossing the Bay of Bengal sighted one
orning the low sandhills and later the
at, sandy coast at the mouth of the Hoog-
5y. \Ve took aboard a native pilot,..and

During the voyage the young lady had,
gained her health and spirits, and had
come well acquainted with the carpen-
:r’s mate. \Vhile he took no libertiesI
gun to feel anxious about the matter.
. d regretted that the handsome youth
as a member of my crew. I pitied the

At Calcutta we loaded a cargo of jute

grning of the sixth day out the hamme-

At 9 o’clock :
DAILY - NORWALK - GAZE
About 2 o’clock In the anemoon me any
to Windward showed signs of a gathering
storm. Professional pride told me to crowd
. on all sail 20 long as the wind continued
fair, but experience whispered that the
lives of the ship’s crew, my wife and Mac
Burlingame depended to a great extent
upon my seamanship and good judgment.
I considered the matter a few minutes, and
then, summoning the chief mate, said:
light sail, send down the studdingsail
yards and booms, skysail, royal and top-
gallant yards fore and aft, and close reef
the topsails and courses.”
The mate, Whose hair and beard were
whitened by the ocean blast of 40 years,
regarded me in surprise for a moment,
then touched his cap and returned to the
waist. I could see that the old salt doubt-
ed the advisability of the course I wm
pursuing. '
The orders for shortening sail were ra.
idly executed, and in less than twang
minutes the Norseman was all snug fore
1 and aft. In the meantime the horizon
I had become overcast withaheavy bank
i of copper colored clouds; in the thirty
. years I have followed the sea I have never
seen the elements arrayed in a more ter—
, rific line of battle than they were at 3:30
' of the afternoon of Sept. 15, 1809.
_ The hatches were carefully battened
1 down and the watch sent below to secure
E what rest they might, while I paced the
quarter deck, restless and uneasy. The
breeze gradually died out and a dead calm
ensued.
The ladies came on deck and chuffed me
for shortening sail.
The barometer continued falling, and I
again ordered all hands called. A line of
foam was approaching on the starboard
beam.
“Hard a port!” '
“Hard a port, sir!” responded the helm-
man. '
I seized the trumpet and gave my orders.
“Haul up the courses.”
The command was promptly executed,
and the men started aloft to furl. They
were too late. '
“Down for your lives! Down!”
‘ The tidal wave struck us on our port
quarter, breaking over the poop deck, ac-
companied by a. fearful gust of wind. Away
went our courses, and the topsoils were
literally blown from the bolt ropes.
I looked for the ladies, who had been
standing on the quarter deck. Merciful
heavens! they had been washed overboard,
and I saw their agonized faces half a ship’s
length to leeward.
With a yell to lower away the starboard
boat I plunged into the sea. As I rose to
the surface I heard a cool voice beside me:
i “Cheer up, Cap, we’ll save them sure.”
I glanced over my shoulder and saw the
carpenter’s mate. .
It seemed as though Providence had in-
tervened in our behalf, for after the first
terrible gust the wind had subsided. We
; reached the ladies and looked around for
i the boat. It was coming, the crew pulling
. like demons, While in the sheets sat Ever-
son, urging them to greater exertion.
By the time we returned to the ship the
cyclone had broken upon us in all its fury,
and for three days we drifted at the mercy
, af'thc storm.
' On the morning of the fourth day the
wind and sea went down, the damage to
i the Norseman was quickly repaired and we
.' stood away for Melbourne.
‘ Upon our arrival Kenneth Gardner asked
I for his discharge, which I could not well
i refuse him. After the papers had been
. filled out I took occasion to thank the
I young man warmly in behalf of Mr. Bur-
i lingame, and intimated that it would be
to his advantage to return to Liverpool as
soon as possible, giving him at the same
time a letter of introduction to my em—
ployer, which contained a detailed descrip-
: tion of the gallant conduct of Gardner in
saving Miss Evelyn’s life.
The ladies were ashore, stopping at this
; very hotel, and I was to join them later in
l the day. I appeared about 5 o’clock. Mrs.
Thornton was suffering from a headache
' and Miss Burlingame had gone for a drive.
after. accompanied by Kenneth Gardner.
After exchanging greetings, the latter
placed in my hands a document. I opened
it and was takenflat aback at the contents.
It was a certificate signed by a. leading
clergyman of Melbourne, stating that
Hiram Holdsworth and Evelyn Burling-
game had that day been united in mar-
riage. ° .
' Of course I gave them my blessing; I
couldn’t help it. I believe I kissed the
bride several times, and would have con-
tinued had not my wife objected.
The next thing was to inform Mr. Bur-
lingame of the condition of affairs, and as
gently as possible I broke the news that
his discharged clerk had rather played it
on the old man. I recein his aDSWeI‘ at
San Francisco in the person of Capt.
’ Gregson, who had beensent out to relieve
me of the command of the Norseman. but
the agents of Burlingame &. Co. were in-
structed to pay me a. full year’s salary. '
Burlingame died of apdplexy, and as
Evelyn was the-only heir she inherited all
of his vast wealth. Today the firm of Hi-
ram Holdsworth & Co. own more tonnage
than any other in the United Kingdon.——

The Italian Navy.
The rise of Italyas a. naval power has
been extremely rapid. It began with the
construction of the Dandolo and Duilio in
1872-73. For these ships the Italian au~
thorities accepted the conclusions of the
English board on designs, butiu their next
vessels they introduced to the world a new
type of battle ship, which, after thirteen
years of adverse criticism, is today in most
respects nearer exemplifying the current
ideas upon the question of armor than any
ships .laid down for the succeeding ten
years In any navy. ,
The Italians had grasped the fact that
gun protection must be the chief future
use of armor; that high speed is a requi-
site of a. battle ship as well as of a cruiser;
that the heavy guns of the main battery
need supplementing. by medium calibers;
that the necessary qualifications of a bat-
tle ship for general service cannot be at-
tained upon asmall displacement. Not-
withstanding the fact that we see the in-
fluence of foreign minds in the later de-
signs Italy has in the main clung to her
original ideas, expanding or changing
them, but never giving them up entirely.
The result is that today she has aprac—
tically homogeneous fleet of ten of the
most powerful battle ships afloat—New

A Skillfnl Eye.
It is-easy to tell the relative amount of
, wool and cotton in a piece of colored un-
! derwear, when you know how. Men who
have made the subject a specialty can do
this by holding the cloth in the light and
looking along it. The cotton and wool can
be distinguished by the difference in their
colors, which exists, although the same
dye was used for both. The untrained eye
could hardly detect the fact that the cloth
had two‘shades, but the skill. that comes
from long practice makes the thing simple.

Those Original Packages.
FARGO, N. D., Feb. 0.—The anxiously
awaited decision (if the state supreme court
on the right to handle liquors in original
packages has been handed down. The
lower court has held that it was not un-
lawful for a non-resident importer to keep
a. place of business in this state where in-
toxicating liquors are stored and kept for
sale and sold, provided that the liquor thus
stored and sold is in the original and un-
broken packages in which it came. The
supreme court decides that. the judgment
of the court below in dismissing the action
must be reversed and a new trial granted.
About the only change which this decision
will make in this city will be to transfer
liquors from saloons which are now run-
ning to. club rooms.
Alliance Co-operatiou.
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 6.~—The executive
committee of the Farmers‘ Alliance of the

ing officers of the committee were elected-
President, Eli Hobson, Mechanicsburg,
Ind.;_ vice president, F. S. Melville, of
Genoa, Ills; secretary, A. A. Brown, 01
Anderson, Ind. The officers of the co-
operative committee hope to have the com-

buggy, and each intent on calling on the
same fair damsel. With little preliminary
ceremony Samuel Maxwell lashed at
George Fairman with his whalebonc whip,
and George lashed back. This exercise
continued until the horses, annoyed at the
proceeding, took fright and ran away at
breakneck speed. The buggies were
smashed, the fighters were thrown out and
their martial ardor disappeared. They
walked to their homes and sent boys to re-
capture the horses.

SNAKE BlTES ONLY TICKLE HIM.
A Haytian Who Makes a. Business of
Catching Venomous Creatures.
Silas Foman is a. copper colored fellow
about five feet eight inches in height,
broad shouldered and open faced. He is a
good dresser, and is proud of his collaryand
cuffs and belts of rattlesnake skins. The
house in which Foman lives is unpreten-
tious, and there is nothing about it that
suggests it is the residence of the most fa-
mous snake charmer in the world, and
that in the rear yard is one of the finest
collections of poisonous “creepin’ ” things
in America. In stoutly constructed cages
are magnificent rattlesnakes, huge moc-
casins, the deadly zypher, and the vicious
coach whip, besides scores of less promi-
nent members of the serpent family.
Foman is as much at home with these
slimy creatures as is a father with his chil-
dren. He handles them at will and with
the utmost confidence. The creatures do
not appear afraid of him, yet submit in a
passive sort of way to his manipulations.
Foman says:
“I am a. native of Hayti, and have been
in this country seventeen years. A few
years ago I determined to engage exclusive-
ly in the snake business. In my childhood
my parents would gratify me by permitting
me to have a. rattlesnake as a companion,
and as I grew older I became fender of
these reptiles, and always delighted in
making them a study. I would sometimes
get hit by them, but my father had a
remedy that would soon heal the wound.
In 1883, while in Lee county, near the Ever-
glades, I captured a snake which was
shipped to New York. I was paid $70 for
it, and I have been following the business
ever since.
“On all rattlesnakes four feet long and
over I realize from 825 to $50 each. The
smaller snakes I generally use myself for
the manufacture of snake oil, which will
cure any rheumatism or neuralgia in ex-
istence. I learned this from the Seminole
Indians. Before Pablo Beach was thor-
oughly settled I caughtrhundreds of snakes
in that vicinity, but the largest and best
quality of rattlesnakes to be found in the
country are at Fort George Island at the
mouth of the St. J ohn’s river. The snakes
at this place are very gentle, and can be
easily tamed. I succeeded in capturing
forty-four snakes there and was only bit-
ten eight times. I have secured from the
Seminole Indians a fluid that I use when
bitten, and with it the bite of arattlmuake,
or in fact an y other snake, is no more se-
rious than the bite of a mosquito.”
Afew days ago Foman gave an exhibi-
tion of his powers in snake catching to a.
number of New Yorkers. He has a small
dog trained to “point” snakes. The party
proceeded to a place Where rattlers were
likely to be found. It was fully an hour
before the dog obtained a clew and began
barking; finally he dropped and pointed
his tail straight into the air. The snake
charmer ran to the spot, and by the use of
a mirror attached to a stick six feet long
he gradually drew the snake until within
arm’s reach, when he reached out and se—
cured the reptile, not, however, without
the fangs penetrating his right hand. He
applied his antidote, and smilingly re—~
quested the reporter to “take a bite,” too,
which was emphatically refused. Return-
ing,r home the snake charmer took outa
piece of red silk, shook it in front of the
reptile, which, with its deadly fangs pen-
etrated it. Silas then jerked the sill;
violently away, and the fangs were re-
moved—Jacksonville (Fla) cor. St. Louis

l-Iad Traveled with a. Magician.
Coming across on the Aurania with me
were a number of intensely cOnvivial spirits,
among whom were several ladies. Accord-
ing to custom, as the steamer approached
Sandy Hook, the steward made up his bill
f or sundries, and presented ‘the several ac-
counts to whom they belonged.
A genial old party from Chicago offered
to mat-ch pennies with a man from ngh-
keepsie in order to see who should pay for
the cigars. The man from Poughkeepsie
won.
Then a New Yorker became interested
and offered to match the victor for his bill.
The man from Poughkeepsie again won.
Then all of us in turn matched him for
sundries, and the man from Poughkeepsie
still won. In fact, the man from Pough
keepsie won everything.
The last to match him was a some-what
giddy specimen of young womanhood of
the blonde persuasion who hailed from‘
Detroit. She had a. bill to pay, and again
the pennies were flipped with the usual re-
sult. For the fourteenth time the man
from Poughkeepsie was proclaimed the
victor.
“Oh, Mr. S——-” petulautly exclaimed
the representative from Detroit, “you
ought to give me another chance. I’m
sure you couldn’t beat me again.”
The man from up the Hudson smiled
gravely.
“Madam,” he said, “I promised a dying
brother just before I sailed never to beat
anybody at anything from seven up to
matching pennies more than fourteen
times.”
He then politely turned on his heel and
went on deck. “I didn’t travel one season
with Herrmann for nothing,” he afterward
observed as he ' made his final adieu.—

How Spain Gets a Little Tobacco.
On our homeward way we encounter the
nightly exodus of Spaniards, male and fe-
male, young and old, who come into-the
town on daily permits for trade or labor,
and have to return before the fortress gates
are closed. Of these there are between three
and four thousand, and many of them make
a handsome income by daily smuggling
small quantities of tobacco, concealed by
many devices in their clothing or their
loads. Their numbers are so great that,
even if the Spanish frontier-guard does not
afford some connivance, which is not very
improbable, it must be impossible to search
them all effectually, and the womenespeci-
ally are .the greatmt and most successful
defrauders of the Spanish revenue.
Any one who waits at the Landportgate
may see stockings, dress improvers, and
other recesses being stufled, comm publico,
with small packets, which, as the average
profit is 70 per cent, will well pay the
trouble and risk of carriage. I was told of
one very successful method of smuggling
which is much practiwd. Degas-e brought
to Gibraltar from their Spanish homes.
From sixto eight pounds' weight of tobacco
is tied round their necks, and with this
they‘run straight home, carefully avoiding
everybody in the shape of a. custom house
officer. They are trained to crime by the
agency of men dressed in custom house
uniform, Who thrash them unmercifully,
and thus instill a Wholesale horror of the
appearance of a government servant. ’
Nor are frauds committed upon the Span-
ish excise alone. Often enough it is found
that the food supplies for the Gibraltar
market have been cunningly tampered
with, as when the vendors of ‘ live turkeys
increase their selling weight by cramming
sand down the throats of the poor birds-be-
fore they cross the neutral ground—Mur-

A Grand Excursion.
The Georgia-Alabama Investment &
Development Company has inaugu-
rated, and will conduct under its own
management and auspices, a ten days
excursion to Washington, D. C., Talla-
poosa, Ga., and Birmingham, Ala.'
The train will leave Boston on the
evening of Tuesday, February 1'7, and
New York ‘Wednesday morning. It
will be a special Pullman vestibule
train, consisting of four sleeper
coaches, ‘one dining car, one parlor
smoking car, with barber shop, bath
rooms, library, etc., and run over the
New York & New England, Pennsylva-
nia, and Piedmont Air Line roads.
This is the quickest, safest and most in-
teresting route for the tourist. The
trip will last ten days and all expenses
will be settled by the company and cov-
ered by $75 from Boston and $70 from
New York. The company has been led
to offer this rare excursion because of
receiving so many applications from
people who desire to visit and inspect
its properties, as an investment.
The route will be by the N. Y. & N.
E., Pennsylvania and Piedmont Air
Line railroads, through the picturesque
Piedmont region of the South, in sight
of the great battlefields and by way of
the national capitol.
Ample opportunity will be aflorded
in \Vashington for the excursionists to
inspect the city, visit Congress, 9170.,
and for sight. seeing in Atlanta, Bir—
mingham, and Anniston.
The train will be an exact counter—
part of the New York and Chicago
“Limited,” run on the Pennsylvania
and New York Central railroads, and
will be in charge of representatives of
each of the three lines of roads over
which the train will pass.
The number of excursionists will be
limited to one hundred, and applica-
tions for sleeper accommodations will
be booked in the order received. The
special train will be the finest equipped
and most magnificent that can be pro-
cured in America, and it is intended to
make the excursion one select in every
particular, and no expense will be
spared to make the trip a delightful
one to all who shall accompany it.
The rate for this excursion has been
made at $75 per passenger, which in-
cludes railroad fare. sleeping car, car-
riage drives, meals, and every expense
for the entire trip. Tickets will be is-
sued to the excursionists on leaving
Boston. with proper coupons entitling
them to all expense during the ten
days. .
The rate from New York city will be
355 less than from Boston, or $70, and
passengers can join excursion atany
of the points named in the itinerary.
Those who desire to accompany this
excursion should. write or call at the
Boston office of this company at once,
where diagrams are on file and sleep-
ing accommodations can be secured.
As the number that can be accommo-
dated on this trip is confined ,to one
' hundred, a deposit of $15 will belre—
quired at the time of the application
and the assignment of berths. The
balance payable at the time of leaving
Boston or New York when tickets with
coupons attached, covering the entire
expense of the trip, will be delivered to
each of the excursionists.
Ladies are especially invited, and a
considerable number have already sig-
nified their intention of going.
Gen. Benjamin F. Butler, president
of the company, will accompany the
excursion, it being his first visit south
of Richmond since the war, and many
of the other officers and directors of
the company will be among the num-
ber. Hon. James W. Hyatt, Treasurer
of the Company, also expects to go.
It is intended to make the excursion
a select and delightful one in every
particular, and no pains or expense will
be spared by the company to make it a
trip long to be remembered by those
who accompany it, and it will afi'ord the
best opportunity of the year for seeing
the growth of the new South, in a way
that will not be fatiguing, but a con-
tinual round of pleasant surprises from
time of leaving until the return, com~
pleting a trip of nearly 4,000 miles
through the heart of the New South in
a palatial train, at an expense of $7 per
day, per passenger.
Applications for sleeping accommo—
dations should be made, enclosing $15,
as soon as possible to the Boston office
of the company, as the number will
probably be filled in a very short time,
and under the terms by which the spec-
ial limited train is chartered, the num-
ber must be confined strictly to one
hundred.
