Are you a resident of the West End,

whom you meet during your promenade
in Regent street and the parks? If so,
you have perhaps seen a man who has
puzzled you—«a “swell," faultlessly “got

yet quiet display of jewelry. You may
havenoticed that, while he apparently»
participawd in the pleasures of the gay

masculine and feminine face that passed
him, and this too without the slightest
approach to rudeness ; and your keen

haiging round the door of a public-
house or gin~palnoe, With his hands deep
in the pockets of a pair of greasy cordu-
roys and his chin half hidden in a gaudy
”Belcher" neckerchief, while he passed
the time by pulling dense clouds of
smoke from a short black pipe. He did
not trouble you much however; you
simply said to yourself, “Some poor

to begin thou—Sergeant Trace and I are
one and the same person.
Many years ago I was instructed to
discover the whereabouts of a'young
lady who was “wanted "—why, it is un-
necessatyforme to. tell; but it was in
the execution of my duty that an inci-
dent Occnrred which nearly cost me my
life. “
I had tracked the fugitive to Brighton,
where'I made the discovery that she was
just upon the point of returning to. Lon-
don. 'This suited me admirably, as I
could delay the disagreeable business of
arresttillwe arrived at the end of the
journey; but, in order to be upon the
safe side, I Of course did not lose sight
of her, and finally seated myself in the
same compartment of the train asshe
herself occupied. 4
Itwason the morning express, and
our compartment contained but three
passengers, 'a gentleman, a lady—the
object of my pursuit—andimyself. The
guard locked the door; and then com-
menced the most terrible journey I ever
made in my life. I scanned the features
of the gentlemen Opposite to whom I
sat, and saw that his eyes were intently
fixedupon me.
The discovery was anything but pleas:
ant, far there was a dark malicious look '
' ' his face that ’I did not at all relish ;
g, quietly drawing a paper from my
pocket. . I became apparently absorbed
in its sealants.“ while from under my
lids I kept'a sharp eye upon the stranger,
When I again-fumed to meet his eye, I
wasmore than ever convinced that he
was bent upon mischief, though he had
not spoken, for his hand was clutching
Qel'vously at something in the breast-
pocket' of his coat, and his gaze was
riveted upon me. -
Was it a pistol he had in that pocket?
I wondered. Such a thing wail not at
all unlikely, and, coupled with the fact
that the man himself had every appear-
ance of a maniac, my position wins any-
thing but agreeable, for we had a fifty
minutes' run before us without a stop-
page. -
However, to have let him know,my
suspicions would but have been to place
myself at a disadvantage; . so, settling
myself down for a nap, I so arranged my
hat that Icould watch his hand without
his knowing it. No sooner had I appar-
ently fallen asleep than he jumped from
his seat with the evident intention of
springing upon me; but, quick cake
was, I was quicker, and in an instant I
had him by the throat and hurled him
on his back. BeforeI could thoroughly
master him he had turned the tables,
and} was down upon the floor of the
carriage, with a madman sitting upon
my chest. , '
' All-this occurred in a moment; and the
first sound that reached my car was a
piercing. scream from the lady whom I
was about to arrest; but she did not
faint, or I might not have lived to tell
my story. With admirable presence of
mind, she stood watching for my oppor-
tunity to render me any aid she could.
Brave little woman! I wonder
whether, if she had known I had a pair
of "braceleis"in my pocket intended
as tempbrary ornaments for her wrists,
she would have acted as She did
But I am pdigrossihg. N O sooner had
the superior ’ strength of the maniac
stretched me upon my back then,
clutching my throat with one hand, he
drew a dagger from his breast with the
other. _ _ _
"Wrétch," he birthed, rather than
spoke, “do you supplier) I am. going to
let a misbrable scoundrsl like you baffle
me in a love affair? You’ve been follow-
ing me long enough; but I’ll stop it
now!" , ‘ ,
“ No," I gasped; “you are really mis-
taken. It was nothing but chance that
throw me in your road; and I don’t even
know, whom you are, while I do not seek
to harm you."
I said this with the Object of mollify-
‘ iyg, and at the same time humoring him,
if, as it appeared, he thought that I had
been following him, while I watched for
any chance that might offer to free my-
self from his grasp.
“Liar!” he exclaimed. “Do . you
think I haven't. seen you? Why, you've
been a veritable shadow to me, dogging
my steps everywhere; for I’Ve been
following her, and you've been watching
meall the time! Presump tuoius wretch.
do you suppose she cares a fig for you?
Look at her”——and, to my surprise he
pointed to the. third occupant of our
compartment—“and say if a dog like
you is worthy of such beauty as that!
You, a more commoner and ugly as sin,
while I am a perfect Adonis and peer o;
the realm! But—bah——I am not going
to argue with such as you. See—I will
give you a through ticket for the next
world!” And in an instant he raised
the dagger and prepared to strike.
But an unexpected movement on the
part of the fair passenger caused my as-
sailant to turn his head.
“Stay," she said—“I will help you!
It be will such fun, you know. Listen!
I’ll count twenty, and, while I am doing
so, you hold the dagger suspended over
him. and, when I come to nineteen,
strike. But you must keep your eye
fixed upon him. or he may struggle and
bulk you yet i”
Good heaven, I thought, was she 30- ~
ing bassist him, or was it only a ruse
to gain 'time'for me?
“Wait!” he cried, in turn interrupt»
iug her “You are a good little woman,
. and I'll do as you say; but I must first
get a firmer hold of him;" and, tighten-
ing his grasp round my throat, he thrust
his knee deep into my chest and bade
her commence to count.
“Really!” he cried, and once more
‘ raised the dagger.
Then commenced what I thought was
my death-knell. Slowly she began to count-
“0ne—two—three;" at the same time I-
cast an imploring glance at the woman
who was thus assisting at my assassi-
nation, and who was standing behind
my assailant. when, to my surmise, I
noticed that she was stealthily removing
her shawl and misting it up rope-
fashion.
“Nine—-ten—eleven’7——by this time
she had crept a step nearer, and, before
“fifteen" was reached, the neck of my
would-be assassin was encircled by the
twisted shawl, and he himself dragged
backward, striking lit the air. .
The moment I was free I sprang to
my feet. and, seizing the madman’s
wrists, I was enabled, while my fair
assistant tightened the shawl. to put
on the handcuffs, but not‘ till after ,a
desperate struggle, accump’anied by
some nasty wounds from th87dagg: .
Then I bound his unkles together with
my neckerch:ef, which was a long one
of the old-fashioned kind; but. as I
had nothing with which to secure his
elbows to his side, I deemed it impru-
dent to allow him to rise until such
time as I had obtained further aid; so,
sitting astride of him, I took charge
of the shawl-ends, just holding them.
sufficiently tight, as occasiou'required'
to enable me to keep him down till the
train rolled slowly into the terminus at
London.~ »
When the guard, by our cries for help,
discovered our ~ predicament, strong
arms soon secured the madman and con-
veyed him to thelwaiting-room, where,
upon being searched, we discovered, by
means of his card case, his name and
address; and on inquiry it turned out
that he had been for some time the in-
mate of a private asylum, but had re-
cently made his escape.
Of course no time was lost in recon-
veying him thither; but the strangest '
part Of the affair was his meeting and
falling in love with the lady whowas,
then being sought for by myself. .And
it was while silently admiring at a dis-
tance that he conceivedlthe idea that I,
who had also an interest in keeping her
in sight, was dogging'his‘steps. .
, Certainly he evinced remarkably good ,
taste and ckeen eye for- a pretty face,
for the fair one was by no means devoid
of personal attractions; though I think
that had be known—. But I forget my-
self. It is not my intention to say mOre
than I can possibly Help contouring the
lady in question.
Did‘the “bracelets" afterwards adorn
her wrists, do you ask? Well, no. For,
strange as it may seem, for some incx'.
plicable reason I‘ could never trace her
after the dreadful affair in the train..and
my camest hope is that nothing more
harsh than the trinkets sold at a jaw-
eller’s has ever rested upon, her arms
since that terrible fifty min'utes’ ride.

mit'r DONELSON READY For: BATTLE.
The 6th of February, 1862, dawned
darkly after a thunderstorm. Pacing
the parapets’ of the work on the hill
above the inlet formed by the junction
of Hickman’s Creek and the Cumber-
land River, and a sentinel, in the servi-
ceable butternut jeans uniform of the
Confederate Army of the West, might
that day have surveyed Fort Donelson
almost ready for battle. In fact, very
little was afterward done toit. There
were the-two wafer batteries sunk in the
northern face of the bluff, about. 30 feel:
above the river; in, the lower. batery
nine 32‘pounder guns and one 10-inch
Columbiad, and in the upper another
Columbind, bored, and rifled as a 8"-
pounder, and two 32-pounder carronades.
These guns lay'between the embrasures,
in snug revetment Of san‘d in coffee
sacks, flanked right, and left withstout
traverses. The satisfaction of the sen-
try could have been nowise diminished
at. seeing the backwater lying deep in
the creek; amore perfect. ditch against
assaults could not ha been constructed.
The fort itself was 0. good profile and
admirably. adapted to the ridge it
crowned. Around it, on the landward
aide, ran the rifle pits, a continuous but
irregular, ' line‘of logs, covered withthe
yellow clay. From Hickman’s Creek
they extended for around to the little
run just outside the town on the south.
If the sentry thought the pits looked
shallow he was solaced to see that lhey
followed the coping of the ascents 70 or
80 feet in height, up which a foe must
charge, and that where. they were weak-
est'th'ey were strengthened by trees
felled outwardly in front of them, so that
the interlacing limbs and branches'
seemed impassable by men under fire.
At points inside the Outworks, on the
inner slopes of the hills, defen'ded thus
from‘view of an enemy, as well as from
his shot, lay the huts and loghouses of
the garrison. Here and there groups of
later comers, shivering 'iu their well
blankets, were visible in a bivouac so
cheerless that not even morning fires
could relieve .it. A little music would
have helped their .sinking spirits, but
there was none. Even the picturesque
effect of gay uniforms was wanting. In_
line, the Confederate. sentinel on the
ramparts that morning. taking in the
whole scene, knew the jolly, rollicking
picnic days Of the war were over.
MONTE CARLO.
There is a leavening of quiet gentle-
folks and aristocrats temporarily sojourn-
ing at Monte Carlo, with sundry flying
visitors of more or less distinction from
Cannes, Nice and Mentonc. But, as a
rule, the scum of Europeiain the as-
cendant, and the dregs Of society come
frolhiug through its scum on, the sur-
face. We believe that Monte Colo does
much' mischief, because it attracts so
many of the lower middle class to grief
or min; but we are not regarding the
tables now from a mom] point of view,
and we may say for the student of life,
manners and sensations, we know of no
spot upon the globe to rival these mag-
nificent rooms. There are volumes Of
blended comedy and tragedy in the
queer characters drawn from all climates
and nations who fret away their little
Very
brief their hour generally is, for the
, chances Of the bank run heavily against
them, and they play for the most part
with extraordinary recklessness. But
there is infinite interest in the range of
quaint and ridiculous types constantly
shifting in a grim phantasmagoria be-
fore your eyes, as, winning or losing
their money, they give themselves up to
joy 01" remorse. We know that Frith's
famous picture of the German gaming
tables was painted from fancy rather
than reality. At Hamburg or Baden it
is de rigeitr to win or lose with a decent
stoicism. But at Monte Carlo self-ro-
straint seems to be cast aside altogether,
and 'a' multitude of small adventurers,
playing-far beyond their means, are
quite indifferent to the expression
their feelings. The penalty of their fo -'
- lies fall heavily upon ‘,them,‘..but they are
a study for the digipas'si‘onatc spectator.
We do not mean to enter» by way of
postscript into the vexed quéstion of the
abolition of these tables. We may only
remark that, setting international
jealousies aside, ,‘it would be n‘daliger‘ous
precedent in the interests of interns;

treaties that guarantee the independence

A correspondent in London says:
Who would expect to find ill the cargo
of one of the magnificent New York
liners three thousand boxes of clothes-
pegs? Yet such an entry is common
enough. “Bless my soul!” somebody
will say. just as I did when I noticed it.
“are we dependent on the States for
such things?” Pursuing my' investigne
lions further, I found that this was only
one out of many of the same kind. It is
evident, therefore, that it pays to cut
down timber, convert it into the manu-
factured article, pay carriage to a port,
shipping charges, freight, charges,
carriage to inland towns anywhere.
in England, commissions to several—a
score, for anything I know—intermedi-
titles, in order that the British .mnter-
families may buy a dozen clothes-pegs
.‘fOIthree-halfpence, which is wlidtfmy
'fiifeutclis me she, paid lash. Ignever
sawthe boxes as imported, but 'Isholild
imagine they would be large, and hold
several hundreds each-thousands, may
be. . '
Does not this give us an idea of the
enormous quantity that must. be turned
out every year in the States? I pre-
dsume even there the \vasherwoman is
not yet emancipated from the tyranny
' of the clothes peg. and this being so,
just fancy what a lot. must be consumed
by fifty millit'ms. of people. :Yet they
' are able to supply, not only their in-
ternal demand, but to send , them :to us
by the million. Likely. enough they
will send them as well to some other
European countries. though the .de-
maud there will not be so great as here,
if only from the fact that the weekly
wash is not such a national institution.
One cannot help thinking what. has
been, is, and will be, the effect of this
large importationou the home-made
article. .' It is possible from such an in-
significant stand-point as the clothes-
peg to soar into the highest politico-
economic, regions. Are our native
clothes-peg makers free-traders, or fair-
traders, or protectiOnists, and if so, why
so? _ and if not, why not ?. I pause for a
reply! But none is forthcoming, for I
don't know a. soul in thc’trsde. If I did
I have no doubt he would glow with the
ferver of his convictions. But the trade
is, I fancy, modest and retiring in its
nature ;,nobody ever hears of its griev-
ancesfiin the House, or through long
letters in the “ Times.” And yet the
native clothes-peg maker has to live; it
must be a serious question with him
whether the trade is being driven out of
country by foreign imports, or whether
it still defies competition. Perhaps the
demand has outstripped his powers of
supply, or perhaps he holds his head up
proudly, and asserts boldly that if you
want a really first-rate article you must
still come to him. Perhaps the trade
has quietly died out and made no sign.
I should not be surprised to hear this.
If my recollection is to be trusted, the
present clothes-peg did not make its ap-
pearance here till some twenty or twenty-
fivc years ago. Everybody who can
look back so far will remember that the
clothes-peg to which he was accustomed
was evidently a piece of branch peeled,
shaped, out in two, and then bound
together with two or three inches of tin,
which were fastened by a bit Of wire
driven in. Such was what I may term
the pro-American, or the antique clothes-
peg. .
I cannot assert with confidence that
this ancient [style has disappenrd, for I
confess that I do not keep my eyes open
purposely to study clothes-pegs. But
this much may be allowed; the antique
is not prominent ;- possibly it yet lingers
in out-Of-the-way and Old-fashioned
places. In the centres of civilization,
however, it is conspicuous by its ab-
sence, its place seems to be taken by the
modern article. This, as is well-known
is all in a piece, and might be prO‘
nounced artistic, were it not evidently
made in a machine, and therefore, ac-
cording to Mr. Ruskin, an' utter abomi-
nation. '

TOBOGGANINO.
The Canadian girls who engage in
this sport dress comfortably and suit-
ably. They appear to good advantage
in, the skating-rinks, skimming the
smooth, frozen surface as birds cleave
the air. They are as fond of tobaggau—
ing as a society girl of waltzing, and
they do it with far more case. One of
these girls will step on to a toboggsn's
cushions, wrap her skirts around her
ankles and then throw her feet under
the curve of the thin board with the un-
conscious grace Of a'duchess atainll.
It is great fun to see one give her
Yankee cousin a ride. The visitor has
seen the toboggluls go whizziug down
the smooth track and shows rather a
' doubtful interest. But it is of no use to
Object. Everybody must have a slide or
be laughed at as cfl‘eminate. So he sits
down awkwardly—for a novice finds it
no easy matter to get. down on a board
with. any appearance of comfort when
- his trowsers are half-frozen and his feet
persist 'in- slipping from under him-—
and, whenhis position .is fairly estab-
lished, the girl. seizes the rod on each
side, gives a little run and jumps on in
a way American boys call "'sideset."
Her weight rests mainly on her strong
arms and she steers with her right feet,
which extends behind the toboggan.
One can never appreciate the delight of
toboggauing till he has, tried it. The
track for a third Of a mile or more is
made purposely smooth as ice. The
bottom of the toboggan is equally
:smooth, and" it seems to the Yankee
icousin us' he whizzes down the course
that there cannot be any great amount
of friction. The torches on either side
run together till they look like a single
stream of fire. But hardly has the

Gymnastics are not, and cannot be,
the ordinary mode of exercise fqr the
community at large. Their influence is
chiefly concerned with youths, and with
,them‘it is cf great importance. Much
of their future health depends mainly
on the physical training received in
childhood and boyhood, and we hope
tosec systematic gymnastics, under ox-
perienced masters, gradually introduced
into all our schools. It will, of course,

SIR J OHN GILBERT.
Sir John Gilbert began his career in a
counting house, but was so often caught
making figures other than arithmetical
ones that it was soon perceived he was
quite unfit for commercial occupation.
He then studied art for a profession,
sought admission into the school of
the Royal Academy. and failed to meet
those preliminary tests of ability, which
were not than, however, either so severe
or so strictly enforced as they have been
since.
many of his great predecessors had
been under similar circumstances, Sir
John began to draw and paint with no
other assistance'than a few lessons in
color given him by the famOus fruit and
flower painter, George Lance, who was
then, like Gilbert, himself, young and
comparatively tmknown. Like Harvey,
Gilbert was compelled to abandon the
brush and canvas for pencil and wood
block. In this field of art exertion he
soon came to the front, and quickly
out-distanced all his competitors’pub-
lishers contending for his Work with the
utmost eagerness, bidding one against
the other to secure his services, wood-
engmvers being not one whit less aux-
ions for the honor of “ cutting ." for him.
He was a constant contributor to the
early volumes of the. Illustrated London
News, and sent into the world many hun-
dreds of drawings in connection with
literary works of every kind—good, bad,
very bad, and indifferent. He illus-
trated “ Pickwick " and Shakespeare. in-
numerable serial novels and short stories,
turning but an incredible quantity of
productions, but not one, however
slight, that gave signs of indolent,
.slovenly, or careless work. The draw-
ing was often strikingly inaccurate, but
his wealth of originality and imagin-
ative pOwer, notwithstanding the inces-
sant drain it sufi'ore'd,‘ never failed him ;
the delicacy and freedom of his execu-
tion, the singular success with which he
met the'roquirements of both engraver
and printer, his admirable grouping,
composition. and knowledge of “color ”
(as the, term is applied to~black and
white, with their intermediate terms)
awakened universal admiration.—

”ROYAL" THE ONLY ABSOLUTELY PURE BAK-
luc POWDER HAUL—ACTION or THE NEW
roux STATE noun or HEALTH. ,
_ Under tile direction of thc.New York
State Board of Health, _ eighty-four differ-
ent kinds Of baking powders, embracing
all the brands that could be found for sale
'in the .State, were submitted to examina—
tion and analysis by Prof. C. F. CHANDLER,
a Member of the State Board, and Presi-
dent of the New York City Board of Health,
assisted by Prof. EDWARD G. LOVE, the
well-known late United States Government
chemist.
The ofliciul report shows that a large
number of the powders examined were
found to contain alum or lime; many of.
them to such an extent as to render them
seriously objectionable for use in the prep-
aration of human food. .
Alum was foundin twenty—nine samples.
This drug is employed in baking powders
to clicnpcn their cost. The presence of
lime is attributed to the impure cream of
tarter of commerce used in their manufac-
ture. Such cream of tartar was also ana-
lyzed and found to contain lime and other
impurities, ill some samples to the extent
of 93 per cent. of their entire weight.
All the baking powders of the market
with the single exception of “Royal" (not
including the slum and phosphate‘powders,
which were long since discarded as unsafe
or inefficient by prudent housekeepers)~
are made ‘from the impure cream of tartar
of Commerce, and consequently contain
alime to a corresponding extent.
. :Thppaly, baking powder yet found by.
chemipai analysis to be found entirely
'f’flc'fi'Om lime and absolutely pure is the
“Royal." This perfect purity results from
.‘ timiexclusive use of cream of tartar spec--
ially-réfined and prepared by patent pro.
' cusses of the 11.". '1‘ tar Cm, which to-
tally remove the tartrn 'cflime and other
impurities. The cost. of 'this chemically
pure cream oftartar is much greater than
any other, and on account of this greater
cost is used ill no baking powder but the
“Royal.”

Ibrepreseuting the wealth contained,
in the sea, Professor Huxley has poi ntcd
out that an acre of good fishing ground
will yield more food in a week than an
acre of the best land will in a year. He
also has drawn a vivid picture of a
“mountain of cod "—120 to 130 feet in
height—which, for two months ill the
year, moves westward and southward
past the Norwegian coast. Every square
mile‘of this colossal column contains
120,000,000 of fishes, which, even on
short rations, consume no tenor than
840,000,000 of hex-rings every week. The
whole catch of the Norwegian fisheries
never exceeds in n'year more than half a
square mile of this “cod mountain," and
one week's supply of the herrillgs needed
to keep that area. of cod from starving.
The harvest Of the sea is truly inex-
haustible.

_ HEAR Silt: lam an engineer on me Olil ('olony

Fall River and Lowell, residing in ’l‘uuuton. For
ten years I sulfered everythlng but death from
dyspepsia. OftenI had such binding sick head-
aches thutIcould scarcely see. I think this was
due partly to irregular habits of eating, and partly
to the ler 0f the engine. Somcllnlcs my head
would snap like neuralgia, and again the pain
'would settle in my eyes, which would feel as big as
a mall's lists. My breath was very offensive, and
my food soured as soon as it entered lily stomach.
ln fact my stomach felt as though ,it. were a great
raw and sore surface, and what. agony it gave per-
haps you can imagine.
in the summer and fall of mm when we had the
heavy centennial travel, the constant jar brought
on acute attacks nearly every week and i thought
i should have to leave the road. not 1 kept. at
work until the next spring, when i grew so much
worse that i could virtually out nothing, and mu-
l'luded that my labor, and my life loo, were about
over. -
Remember that I had tried every medicine i
heard Of, and had been treated by some of the best
physicians in 'i‘nuuton and Lowell. At this critical
time Dr. DAVID KENN EDY’S FAVORITE R EM-

it is the only llling‘lhnt ever did me the least good,
and it drove every ache, pain and discomfort com-
pletely Ollt Of my body. Now 1 keep Kennedy’s
Favorite Remedy wiih me on my engine. and it
goes wherever I go. .
Why, I believe Favorite Remedy Will cure any-

engineer who runs the mainline boat train from
Boston, came on my engine sick as dent-ii. lie was
worn out with work, had a high fever, and was so
nervous he almost broke down crying. “Nonsense
John,“ I said, “cheer up, I’ve got something on my
engine that will set you up in a jiffy." ‘I took out
my bottle of Favorite 1temcdy,hited ills head and
gave him a good dose, lie went to bed. 'I‘w-y
days after I saw him looking healthy as a bulifbr.
