Was surprised to find thnt tho bans wero
only n littlo distance from tlio hole in

founder. I had boon told that thorn
would be 19 bags, but I could lay my
hands on but 1 1 of tlmm. Finally I
spied a torn bag lying near the hole in
the hull, and on pit-king it tip discover
ed that it contained a few gold coins. I
decided thnt tho heavy triple sucking
had been torn open in some way or oth
er when tho schooner sank. I fastened
linos nbonttho 11 bags thnt were intact,
and hud them hoisted, nf tor ward gtiing
tip for air, for our apparatus was not
very good.
"In a few minutes I returned to tho
hold to search fur tho scattered coins.
Very few of them were in sight. It oo
curred to mo that they might have been
washed ontside tbe boat, judging from
ihe position of the wreck and the fact
that the hold was far down toward the
ship's bottom. I was abont to crawl out
Of the hole when I remembered that it
might hazard the air pipe, so I was
pulled up aud let down again over the
vossol's sido. I was disappointed not to
find any indication of tho gold near tho
Jaolo iu the schooner, but sot to work
digging resolutely in the sand. I had
,goue but a font down whon I struck the
gold pioccs all in a lamp- I picked out
a great, handful nnd turned the light on
them, for I was a lover of gold then,
evon though it did not belong to we.
"Just then I saw something that
made the rubber helmet rise from my
hoad. It wna a man eating shark. I
hadn't thought of one iu so long that I
had noglcctod to bring my knife. It was
rushing at roe. Tho stupid creature
never stopped to consider thut with a
rubbor aud lead dressing a diver makes
poor lunch. I was kneeling beside the
gold. At the shark's onslaught I natural
ly hnng to the handful of gold as though
to use it as a weapon. He turned on his
sido, opening his horrible mouth. A
feeling of grim humor had come over
me. The cruel goldbugs had tout me
down here to be devoured, after saving
thousands of dollars for thorn. I would
be a. spendthrift at the last So with all
my force"! flung the hoavy handful of
coin into tho yawning month.
"The shark must have thought H was
part of me, far ho snapped his jaws
over the golden morsel. I am satisfied
that lie broke aoino teeth. Ho rwaiu
back a little, and then rushed at me
again. I. had no weapon but the gold,
so aguin I flung into tho hideous maw
enough to buy me a home iu Now Eng
land. J saw him snap and swallow it.
Again aud again was the attack repeat
ed, aud as often did I hurl gold into the
shark's throat Pretty soon he became
dizzy, as it were, for .the gold had un
balanced Jbiui, settling in the forward
part of his body. Thou be writhed in
agony, and f .had to keep dodging his
flurry. Then, with one terrible shudder,
be sank to the bottom, weighted down
by the gold. I tied a line abont him and
then gave the signal to be pullod np.
Then I helped Juoist the slutrk. We cut
him open, ttettlemen, yog jnost take
the word of a ex -diver that there was
15,000 in him, Gold had kilted him. "

"I was pretty near heaven for half an
honr.'Vaid H. 0. 1'rontico, the acrobat.
Acrobat i'rentice's remark just quoted
was tho prelude to the story ho told the
Buffalo Express reporter nf his adven
tures whllo viewing Niagara falls for
the first time.
Mr. Prentice and Thomas Adninson
went to tho fulls, and they tried to keep
together ns thoy went from point, to
point viewing all tho famous spots about
tho cataract. They spent mi hour or so
in viewing the falls from above, nud
then they put on rubber suits nnd start
ed below. They went down tho elevator
nnd then down tho stairway to tho
rocks. After a time they concluded that
they hnd seen nil that wai to be seen
below, and wero tipnn tho point nf re
turning when Prentice told Adamson to
go and ask ono nf tho guides if there
wero anything elso to bo seen down
them, Mr. Adamson ttimrTl about nnd
went to htyit for tho guide. Hn was
gone nbont live minutes, and when he
came back his friend Prentice was
missing. Adamson was puzzled nt tlio
ilisapiienraiico "nf Prentice. Adninson
had spout about half an hour looking
for Prentice, when tho news reached
him that his companion had been found
down between tho rocks up to his neck
iu water. Iu a few minutes after this
news reached Adninson he was joined
by Prentice, who told nf his oxiericnocs
after Adamson had loft him to look for
the guide.
Mr. Prentice said that after Adninson
turned bnck ho thought hn would Walk
down into a gully between tho rocks.
Ho noticed that it was comparatively
dry there. He was therefore considera
bly surprised soon after ho got down
into the gully to have a stream of wa
ter two feet deep and moving with
great violence strike him in tho back
of tho legs. The stream was so strong
that it stnggnred kim, nnd to avoid be
ing swept from his feet and carried on
into the river he crouched down in an
nnglo of ono of tho rocks, with his bnck
to tho torrent nnd braced himself to re
sist tlio power of tho stmnm thnt had
cut off bis lino nf retreat. He hnd hold
of the edge of tho rock with his hands
nnd ho did not dnre to let go for fear
the current wonld sweep him out from
behind the nnglo. Ho yelled for holp,
but tho noise of the water drowned his
cries. At ono time ho looked over tho
edge of the took and saw tho Maid nf
tlio Mist 100 feet nwny in tho river. Ho
shook his head, hoping that tho passen
gers on the littlo bant would notice tho
motion, but no ono saw him.
After ho orouohed down behind tho
rock the water washed nvor his body np
to his neck. He was on tho point of giv
ing np whon a stranger who hud ulso
come down to the rocks saw him nnd
notified the guides. Prentice was hauled
out with a polo. The stream of water
that surprised him came from a lnillrace
that is closed port of the time.
BROKEN HEARTS IN FRANCE.
Bold of L.M Account by tha Law Ttma
Brokan
In no instance does the profound dif
ference of national character in England
and France appenr more striking, says
our Paris correspondent, than in the
views held on both sidos of the channel
regarding breach of promise. Of course
cngngemonts Aro broken off in France
as well as iu England, but it hi only in
Englund that heavier damages are
awarded for a broken heart than for a
broken leg. The offense is all but un
known in the French law courts,
whether it is that Frenchmen are less
inclined to it or that the French girl
dislikes bringing her sentimental trou
bles into court. To show English read
ers how incredibly prejudiced French
persons of both sexes are upon this sub
ject it is enough to say that a young
lady who attempted to turn her wound
d feelings into cash wonld be regarded
as only a degree less mean than the
faithless man.
The very small number of suits for
broach of promise have always been
supported by a pica that the lady was
put to expense, and there must be be
sides evidence of an intent to deceive.
Damages in any case are very small be
side the royal amounts awarded by Eng
lish juries. Recently an action for
breach of promise a l'Anglaise was
brought into the Third Paris police
court The lady and hor father, as near
est friend, produced a bill showing that
they were 50 out of pocket tor the
broken -engagement. Thoy might have
had this ; but, badly advised, they put
on another item of 350 for the moral
prejudice. The French judge did not
understand this, and he dismissed the
case. London News.

When Napoleon was on his deathbed,

as guilty of tbe duke's murder. The dy

Paris. Under similar circumstances I
would again do likewise." Neverthe

In this snmn yenr, 1R48, Lowell sent
forth also "The Vision nf HirLamifnl,"
his first attempt at tolling a story in
verso. Porhnjis it is tho best nf nil his
serious poems loftiest in conception
nnd most careful in execution. His
habit then, as always, was to brood over
tho subject he wished to treat in vorso,
to fill himself with it nnd finally to
writo it nut nt a sImrIp sitting, if possi
ble. Ho rarely rewrote, nnd hiB verso
lacked finish nnd polish, though it never
wanted force. It was at this timn thnt
ho told Longfellow hn meant to give np
poetry boconso ho could "not write
slowly enough. "
His poetry also suffered from another
failing nf his. He was not content to set
forth beauty only and to let tho rentier
discover a moral for himself. Longfel
low, Whittlor nud Lowell nil insisted
too much nt times on tho lesson of tho
soug. And Lowell know his own defect
and wroto Inter in life, "I shnll never

Itlcycla WIimiIs.
It is not as generally understood ns it
should bo, perhaps, that bicyclo wheels
seldom or never nre subjected to lateral
strains. They need to resist only those
strains which pass through their own
plane, and in this piano only hnve they
any strength worth speaking of. This is
worth remembering when tho nso of
wheels nf this type is being considered
for three or four wheeled vehicles, where
tho conditions nre essentially different,
and whore, in turning corners rapidly,
or in going over ground that causes the
vehicle to bo inclined sidoways, a very
considerable lateral strain may bo
brought upon tho wheels a strain
which tho ordinary bicyole wheel is,
very properly, entirely unfitted for.
This is to be considered also In connec
tion with devices for attaching two bi
cycles sido by sido to make a duplex, or
four wheeled mnchino, of them. Neither
the framo, the bearings nor tho wheels
of a proporly constructed bicyclo are
adapted to such use without injury.

A quaint old superstition as to the
modioiual virtues of "June water" still
obtains in Hingham and other old towns
in Massachusetts. It must be caught
from the first shower that fulls after 1 3
o'clock cn the night of May SI. An old
lady of Hingham tolls a writer, who
sends an account of "June water" to
the Boston Transcript, that it is bottled
and used for sick folks mostly. "You
oughtn't to give 'em medicine in ordi
nary water, didn't you know? Why, I've
had my son's wifo send up from Boston
for a bottle or two when the boys was
siok. Then if I feel as if I can spare it
I use it for preserves. They'd never
spoil done in June water if you'd kep
'em 100 years. Why, there ain't a speck
or a mite of dirt in it It's real different
from other water whon you come to
look."
