They evidence entire familiarity with the outgoings and the In. comings of the gentle Maryland their chief purpose is to make appointments with the girl which, by the way, she never ao. oopts. The girl must marry the handsome pirate or die this is the substance' of the documents ; she may have two weeks in which to prepare herself for the bridal or the altar ; the writer is an escaped convict, and will never be taken alive ; be is on the track of various parties, and some detec tives aie on his track ; his plans are work ing ; his enemies must beware, likewise his amiable and persecuted Mary ; he sees her very often! but she does not know him, as he is in deep disguise, and so on. These letters naturally alarmed Mary, and she laid her case before Joab Stafford, a well-known detective of' Canajoharie. Joab perused the letters and then compared them with the handwriting of the girl, and the result was his confident .belief, which he still retains, that she was 'i putting up a job," that she wrote the letters to herself, and was her own mail-carrier. Neverthe less, he gave her a six-shooter with which to protect herself, and she carried it home hall, his mother came down stairs in a blue cashmere morning wrappor, a delicate lady with her.'

This is the story that Mary tells ; and she has certainly been shot, two competent pnysiclans testifying to the fact, and one of them asserting his confidence that she did not shoot herself. The Stafford six-shooter has been examin ed,' and all its' barrels were found to be charged, and the pistol on the examination exhibited no evidence of recent use.'' No other pistol can be found either j so that if the gentle maiden did shoot herself, she was wonderfully expert in removing traces of the fact. , . . .'' , The .question is, then, is there a hand some pirate, or is this girl the authpr of ft profound sensation ? , t .. The region of the affair is greatly excited, and reporters, fiom a dozou city journals nave visited it alroady. There ought to be littlo doubt in the premises, it seems to us. No man sufficiently cracked to write such trash as the' letters contain is capable of keoping out of the hands of the authorities. No handsome ' pirate has been arrested ; and, therefore, Miss Stevens, who is 'a silly girl according to all the- evidence at hand, must bo, as ' Deteotive Stafford 'believes, " putting up a job," and a very weak one, too, ..- . i , , -. .-,, -; ., .,,, ......

Stevens Is A Camp Meeting In the Olden Times. r"T HE order of the day would be almost JL uniformly this: The horn (which was a long' tin 'one, . filling in the' preaching stand) was sounded at sunrise, when it was expected that all persons in the tents would rise. Half an hour later it was blown for family worship, which Must be observed in every tent, after which breakfast was pre pared and' eaten.'; 'At 8 or 9 according to the season, the horn announced prayor moeting fn the tents; at 10 it proclaimed preaching; after that followed prayers at the stand and a call for mourners, or, as is was more correctly or elegantly express ed' " an invitation to suoh aa desired an interest in the prayers of those present from a conviction that they were- sinners," Then came a recess for the mid-day meal, ond after this there was preaching again at 2 p. m. There were prayers at the stand, and mourners called forward again, after which there was usually an adjournment to the open part of the ground, and a grand prayer-meeting organized in " the ring." The ring meeting was formed in this way: If there wore many mourners at the alter, as it was called, that is, two or three des ignated benches irk front of tho pulpit, some one in authority would order a re moval, on which some active fellows would shoulder a few benches and carry them to the square, and have them placed in a convenient manner, and ready for the the mourners to kneel by or sit upon. Be fore these were removed, but in an incred ibly snort time, enough stout young men would join hands around the benches to ii form a compact inclosure. These again were inclosed by another ring of those who were the first of tho place, that they might have a full view of the proceedings; for it was understood that this circle was not to be entered except by the mourners and those who were to talk and pray with them. . Tho young people of the country were genorally good singers, and knew the hymns and tunes mostly in use, and tho numbers who could join in singing would now be surprising. Two resolute ones of the living wall of this ring would be des ignated as at one doorposts and doorkeep ers, who at their discretion admitted per sons within tho inclosure. The mourners were then brought on, and entering kneeled at the benches, while a brother of leading voice would start . " Come ye sinners poor and noedy," or some similar song, in which every available : voice would join, not a brick of the wall of this tabernacle keeping silence. Thon followed a prayer, then a song, and thon prayer,', and at last a; steady stream of song and supplication, running together like the parts of a fugu, harmon izing in spite of all discord. - ' '., " f,. .A.

At a recent meeting of the Polytechnic Club of the American Institute Mr. Boyle told the following incident: "At a newly erected light house along the New Island Bound an old sailor was recently appointed as keeper. On brie of the first evenings, when trimming his lamp, he neglected his instructions to draw the curtains down, and the setting sun, shining through one of the large lenses, had of - course,' the rays con centrated iu the focus, and as here the lamp is placed, the heat was sufficient to light it, to his utter amazement. He put it out, but had become so nervous for the whole night that his own imagine fright ened him; as he ' saw it reflected in the plate-glass of 'the lantern, with the dark sky outside and the strong light insido. The next morning at daybreak he put out the light, when at Sunrise the sun lit It up again, for the same reason as it happened tho evening bofore.'1' This was too much for the old salt. Ho immediately ' packed his trunk aud left, without notice to any ono, and was only missed when at night the light-house remained dark.
