RELICS OF DICKENS. f MANY QUAINT BUILDINGS MADE FA MOUS BY THE NOVELIST. Localities Peopled by the iieniuH of the Master Hand, with Character* That Appeal to All, Are Fust Disappearing from Old London —Illeak House. Ere long another of tho fast vanishing localities, peopled by the genius of the master novelist with characters more real to 11s in some respects than their present inhabitants, will be nonexistent. Entering Lincoln's-inn-fields from Great Queen street, turn to the right, pause at 58, and picture Mr. Tulkinghorn emerg ing one evening from chambers where "lawyers lie like maggots in nnts." Im agine him walking through the inn, passing beneath its ancient Tudor gate way, and visiting Mr. Snagsby, the law stationer in Cook's court, Cursitor street, with a view of ascertaining where Nemo, the mysterious law writer, lives. A little to the south of Old Buildings, on the west side of Chancery lane, are Bishop's court and Chichester Rents, the latter approached through a tun nelod passage alongside the Three Tuns public house. To tho Rents came the "two gentlemen, not vory neat about the cuffs and buttons," who instituted perquisitions through the court, dived into the Sol's parlor and wrote with ravenous little pens on tissue paper "those sensational reports of the inquest which had just been held at that well known and popular house of entertain ment, the Old Sol's Arms." Sol's is the present Old Ship Tavern. It stands at the head of the court, fac ing it on one side and tho wall of Lincoln Inn on the other. It is certainly ancient enough, and on the first floor can still he seen the identical long, low room where the coroner presided, and whero little Swills, the comic vocalist, pre sented to the harmonic meeting his ad mirable impersonation of that important official. So far identification is plain sailing. But where was the famous rag and bot tle shop, whose gin soaked proprietor died from spontaneous combustion? Mr. Rimmer, in "About London with Dick ens," is silent on the subject. The writer of "Dickens' London" thinks it must havo stood in Bishop's court hard by— for no other reason apparently than tho fact of its being "an old, narrow, dreary, decaying and mournful passage, just the place in which such people as tho poor law writer and crazy Miss Flito would have made a home." 1 But a careful study of every allusion made by Dickens to the locality will, I think, Bhow that Mr. Pemberton is probably mistaken. Krook's shop is spoken of as "lying and being in the shadow of the wall" "blinded by the wall." No house in Bishop's court exactly answers to this descrip tion. On the contrary, the only likely one at the corner next to Old Sol's faces an open passageway which leads to New square. Krook's must therefore he sought for at Nos. 8 and 8 in the Rents (now occupied by a law stationer), oi>posite the Old Ship, fronting the court on one sido and on the other "within a conple of yards off and entirely blinded by the wall" so often referred to in the narrative. Miss Flite, meeting Esther Summer son and the wards in chancery one morn ing in Old square, invited them to come and see her lodgings. So close by did she live that, "slipping out at a little side gate," sho "stopped most unexpect edly in a narrow back street" (Star yard, leading to Carey 6treet), "part of some courts and lanes immediately ontside tho wall of the inn," and she was at home. Sho lodged in a garret at the top of Krook's shop, described as "blind ed by tbe wall of Lincoln's Inn, which intercepted the light within a couple of yards." She lived in a pretty large room, from which sho had a glimpse of the roof of Lincoln's Inn hall; the new ono, bo it remembered, for the old hall is entirely shut out from view by the tall houses in old buildings. It is during the visit that the poor little creature draws aside the curtain of the long, low garret window and calls attention to a number of bird cages hanging there, whose occupants Lady Jane, the cat, is forever striving to de vour, crouching "on the parapet outside for hours and hours." This is conclusive testimony, for no other house In either court—save tho Old Ship—possesses an attio with on outside parapet. Tho win dows are mostly dormers, or flush with the wall, while from no other garret window—except Sol's—can a glimpso of tho old hall roof he hail. This can readily be tested by standing close to the hall and looking through the trees toward Chichester Rents, where tho slated top story and long, low garret window of tho rag and bottle shop may be identified. In a miserable back room on the sec ond floor of this dismal abodo Captain Hawdon, alias Netno, was found dead by Mr. Tulkinghorn and Krook—dying by his own hands from an overdose of opium. "To a hemmed in churchyard, pestiferons and obscene, they tuko our dear brother here departed and lowor him down a foot or two." On the steps leading to this charnelhouse Dame Durden finds her mother, "with one arm creeping around a bar of the iron gate and seeming to embrace it." This spot is rather hard to find, but walk up Catherine street from the Strand, and ■half way up on the right turn into Rus sell court leading into Drnry lane, and midway to the left of this passage, is the approach to the "consecrated ground." The little tunnel of a court is much as it was forty yeare ago. But the lamp is gone, and the old iron gate is not the ono depicted by H. K. Browne. Chil dren now play as best they can on the asphalted surface of the hemmed in area, where once poor Jo saw the mortal remains of the stranger who had been " werry good" to him put into the ground "worry nigh the top."—St. James Ga zette. 1 As long ago as 1800, Behm, a leading llerman authority, estimated the popu lation of the earth at about I 4HO.onn.DOQ An Old Circus Rider's Munlu. Old Eaton Stone, tho circuß rider, lives on an eighteen acre farm near this vil lage. He is almost as active as he was years ago, when his daring feats on horseback made him famous all over the world. He is seventy-four years old, but keeps constantly busy. When he has nothing else to do he gets out his oil colors and adds to tho unique deco ration of the ancient farmhouse in which he resides. Nothing exactly like Mr. Stone's painting is to be found else where, and what he has done in a score of years must have kept him well em ! ployed. Almost everything in the house is decorated. Red of the brightest ver million hue, green which rivals tho grass in June, yellow which would do credit to the daffodil and blue of tho most lively shade, go into all his scrolls, stars, flowers, stripes and nondescript ! figures. I Tho ceiling of the dining room is hid | den in wonderful designs traced in vivid colors. There is no attempt at blending or compounding colore. They are laid on as they come from the pots and tubes, and the patterns are original creations. Even the stove lias come in for a base line of vivid decoration, and one of the two clocks in tho room is completely covered with paint. The picture frames are decorated; the mantel has a gener ous share of decoration; tho oilcloth tablo covers have added designs tho makor never contemplated, and even the chairs have been treated to a display of tho old man's handiwork. On the walls, and even on the doors, he has oil paint ings and compositions from his brush. They are not high art, but they are very effoctive and show considerable genius. —Franklin (N. J.) Cor. Boston Herald. The UlußCular Strength of a Trout. We sat for an hour or more on the east hank of the Beaverkill at Rockland and watched the trout of that celebrated river passing over the dam, which is nearly three feet high, with about a 4-inch volume of water pouring over it. The trout ranged in size from ten to eighteen inches, and during the time we sat there at least twenty managed to get over. In many instances a first attempt failed, owing, however, more to an ap parent want of judgment, or perhaps of experience, than from lack of physical ability in the fish to accomplish the foat, the smaller fish as a rule failing to get over in the first effort. But few of the larger fish made a clean jump into the smooth water übove the apron of the dam; most of them passed perpendicularly up the falling waters and with apparent ease. These fish were enabled to swim straight up this downpour of tho waters by the great muscular power they possessed; there was no trick, no sleight of hand about it—it was pure Btrength of body, which is evidently centered in the pe duncle or tail and the tail fin. They actually sculled their bodies up this comparatively dense mass of water. The query naturally arises; If a 10- inch trout can swim up such a fall, whut is tho capacity of a salmon of forty inches under similar conditions?— Ame rican Angler. Why the Car Went to Kiel. There is not another place in the world where tho emperor of Russia feels so secure and so easy in his mind as at the court of his father-in-law, King Christian of Denmark. They were sitting together on the day of the golden wedding of the king, when the emperor, in the exuberance of his feelings of com fort, said that he wished ho could think of something by which he could give to his beloved father a very great pleasure. "You could not give 1110 a greater pleasure," replied the king, "than 1 should feel at your resolve to go and pay a visit to the emperoT of Germany," The czar consented, but ho would not go to Berlin. Thus the meeting at Kiel was arranged. What all the cleverest moves of the diplomats of Germany had failed to accomplish a wise prayer of old King Christian thus easily brought about—Chicago Times. Speaking of Daten. "Did you ever notice the curious dif ference in the sexes which is shown in the way a man or a woman fixes n date?" remarked a gentleman to a lady the other day. "You ask a man when such and such a thing happened, and he always answers, 'in the year so and so,' or, 'about 1800 and something;' but the woman invariably says, 'About so many yearH ago,' or, 'it was so many years after I was married;' or, 'the year after Teildie was born,' and so on." "Yes," replied his companion, "I have noticed it ill myself. I feel that lam getting like the western widow who dated all her farming operations from or before'the year I planted Jim,' which was her realistic way of referring to her husband's burial."—New York Tribune. A Ten Thousand Year Clock. Herr A. Noil, of Berlingen, Germany, has constructed the most marvelous timepiece that was ever evolved from tho human mind. Calculations based on two years of solid going prove what tho maker claims for his wonderful clock, viz., that it will run for 10,000 years without winding. Hands on the dial point to the time of day, the day, the week, months, seasons and years. It also calculates the changes in the moon and tells when the sun is "fast" or "slow." The clock is tho result of five years of patient, arduous labor.—St. Louis Republic. An ExpreHnmim'H Trial. A woman in Biddeford to whom a stove was sent by express requested the driver to get it up two flights of stairs for hor. He did so, and then she desired him to set it up and start a fire in it to see if the chimney drew all right. This sent him home in a fainting, almost ex hausted condition.—Augusta (Mo.) Jour nal.

Uut tbe Missile Was Projected by a Harmless Airgun. "I had a curious experience while passing through New York," said a I western lady to some friends on the beach at Newport. "We had taken rooms at the B k, and unfortunately reached New York just in time for an absolutely torrid 'hot wave.' As I had pressing need for a few days' shopping I kept my husband and brother in town for forty-eight hours, to their great dis comfort, and they spent their evenings by the windows of our sitting room in the lightest of attire, drinking iced drinks and trying vainly to keep cool. The night before we left town we re tired rather late, after the men had been solacing themselves in their usual fashion. " 'lt was so hot that it was some time before I could sleep, and just as I was dozing off I remembered that I had left my rings on the dressing table near the sitting room door, tho windows of which were wide open on a little iron balcony. 'A good chance for robbers,' I thought drowsily, but was too lazy to get up to put them in a safer place. Late in the night I was aronsed by the report of a pistol, or what sounded like one; and my first impression was that I was shot, for I was literally bathed, head and shoulders, in something tliut I folt sure for the moment was blood. " 'Henry,' I screamed, 'I have been ! shot! I am dying.' And I felt so strange and giddy that I was sure my end was approaching. 'Take good caro of tho children,' I murmured. 'And, oh, Henry, promise me not to marry that horrid Miss M that you seem to ad mire so much!' 'What nonsense, Em!' said my callous spouse, as ho struck a light and turned on the gas, 'you have been dreaming.' " 'But I am wet with blood!' I ex claimed indignantly, feeling that after all ho wasn't worthy of a tender death bed scene, and that I felt all right again. 'By Jove, yon are moist,' he said, put ting his hand on my shoulder, 'but it is not blood, whatever it is.' Suddenly he gavo a great guffaw of laughter and pointed to the parlor, which was dimly I lighted by the gasjet in my room, j 'Well, what is it? I don't see any thing,' I put in crossly, for by this time I folt thoroughly upset. " 'Oh, it is too delicious,' he gasped. 'You have been shot, you poor little thing, but not by burglars; only by a soda water bottle, and there on the table, whero he and my brother llarry had left them, lay a couple of bottles, one point ing as straight for my bed as if it had been aimed at me. Henry hud cut the wires confining the cork of one of the bottles and had then concluded not to open it, and I suppose the heat may have helped the effervescence, for tho force of the explosion carried both cork and tho soda water across the room, hitting mo on the shoulder. "Of course you may imagino how my two men enjoyed my 'shooting uftnir' and what capital they have made out of it."—New York Tribune. The Value of Lime Water. The value of lime water übout tho house in the summer can scarcely be overestimated. To preparo it is an easy matter, as all that is necessary is to put a layer of unslaked lime in a wide mouthed jar and till it with cold water. There is 110 danger of using too much lime, as the water will only take up so I much, however much is put in. It takes only a few hours for the water to tako tip all the lime that is possible. After it has stood say five hours the wa ter may be drained off and more wa ter added until tho lime is all absorbed. Acidity of the stomach is corrected by adding a little lime water to the drink ing water. A teuspoonful of lime water added to a glass of milk corrects tho tendency which milk lias to coagulate in the stomach, forming a hard, indi gestible mass. For this reason it should bo added to the milk fed the little children, and nursing bottles should be rinsed with it. As a mild disinfectant there is nothing safer or better. Columbus' Idea of tlie World. Columbus believed the solid part of tho sphere to be larger than tho liquid part, and tho distance by tho sunset road between the East Indies and western Europe to be less than it is. But in those two capital errors lay tho great incentive to the execution and suc cess of his purpose. Had he known the vast planetary spaces covered by the waters; the continent interposed be tween his own Europe and the land of diamonds, gold and spices; the difficulty and peril of the passage yet to be braved in tho far regions of tho antarctic pole in order to sail from our continental Eu rope to tho oriental Indies by the west ern way, he would perhaps have shrunk back in alarm and dread.—Emilio Cas telar in Century. Why, Indeed? "Why does a dog run sideways or di agonally?" inquired the purchaser of a fine black Newfoundland pup of a dog fancier the other day. "Well, sir, that's a question I've been asked frequently, and after some investigation I have con cluded the reason is that the animal has been brought up that way. Why does a chicken roost on one foot, or an owl keep its eyes wide open all nightlong, or a rooster crow vigorously at the break of early dawn, or a pig run homeward with straws in its mouth before ap proaching rain? These are questions that are as difficult to solve as some of the astronomical problems."—Philadel phia Press. The Eskimo Circus. The Eskimo are very fond of theat ricals. They mimic all sorts of animals wonderfully, and the man who can do this best is considered a great actor. This sort of mimicry is woven into the shape of dramatic entertainments. One performer will be a bear, for example, clad in appropriate skins, while the others hunt him. Commonly the hunt winds np with the death of the bear or seat—Boston Transcript. OUR LIVELY SUBURBS.

The great state of Pennsylvania, which is noted for its wealth and charitable institutions, has at last come down to the humilialingspectacle of sending its agents, book in hand, begging through the mines for the sum of fifty cents a piece from the poor miners who are only working three days a week. Of course we are told it is not compulsory, but such is the ease under Markle & Co. at tli is place. The object is to improve and maintain the grounds around the Hazleton hospital. This method of do ing business must he mortifying to the trustees, but if they sanction the move ment, these agents should be furnished with a crutch and the usual red bundle, then send them broadcast over the state I to enlist the sympathy of the entire public. Then, perhaps, tbe lawmakers of this generous state could be induced to lend a helping hand where it is needed, in stead of giving millions to the world's fair or spending thousands in protecting Carnegia's mills. But even this could hardly save the trustees from censure, as they should close up the place before indulging in a begging scheme of such a character, and wait until they can secure money more honorably. That the grounds should lie improved is true, hut men who are worth millions, or representing others who are, to sanc tion such a movement, no matter how ! good their intentions may be, will only bring ridicule in the end. Some of the Sons of Rest of this place are working diligently to acquire fame and fortune as acrobats. They have been performing some daring feats pri vatly to friends, and in a few weeks ex pect to give a public exhibition. Fore paugh is the only person that could make them famous in this line and they should try and strike out without delay, | as the circus season is growing short and < they will have to quit eating or go to work before circus season comes again. ! Miss Joe Lockman, of Hazleton, is visiting her friend Miss Annie Boyle. John Mcllngh, one of our oldest resi- j dents, removed his family to Oneida 1 last week. Con. McCole, who lias been suffering I from a weakness of the eyes caused by an attack of the gripp last winter, went | to Philadelphia for treatment last week. John Carrigan, of Mauch Chunk, is here on a visit for a few days. Win. Walters, candidate for sheriff 011 the Democratic side, was hero getting tilings in shape last week. Since the base ball ground has been destroyed alley ball has become a favor ite pastime. The new road which is being con structed is almost completed. Invitations have been extended to a j large number of ladies and gentlemen of this place to attend a farewell hop at | Hazleton on Tuesday evening. We are still in league with the Read ing combine. Half time is their motto, j Leap year is the cause of a little hard j feelings here just now. Two of our \ young ladies and gentlemen took a walk and as it was the boys first attempt, I naturally they were timid. After being I guyed unmercifully one made his escape, I but the othr said lie didtn't care as long I as the TRIBUNE man was in Philadelphia, but be made a mistake. X. HIGHLAND DOTS. John J. Boner and Ralph Sweeney, of Oneida, drove to our little village on Saturday. Miss Annie Canty is spending a few days among friends in Alden. All the sports of town witnessed the game of alley ball at Freeland on Saturday. Thomas J. Boyle attended the C. T. A. U. convention at Hazleton yesterday. Michael McMahon and wife, also Miss Mary Boner, left on Saturday to visit friends in Wilkes-Barre. Michael Murrin had a valuable cow killed by a freight train last week. Peter Ramaneski, who was injured in tlie mines here by a fall of coal, was taken to the hospital last week. 1- rank Seigler, who drives the storo delivery wagon, came to town with a load of goods drawn by two new mules the company had just purchased. The team took fright at a passing train, ran away, smashing the wagon and badly injuring Mr. Seigler. McCann and Boyle feels none of the best since their orchestra was advertised last week. They say it was rather pre mature, but will be ready when the ball season opens. We had a three-cornered race here last week. The contestants were J. J. McGinty, W. H. Hines and a congres sional office. The office was so far ahead last week that they will scarcely over take it. Miss Mame McGeady, of this place, is visiting friends at Wilkes-Barre. Bridget O'Donnell, of Bristol, is so joining at the residence of her friend, Miss Waters. A large number of our residents drove to Laurytown on Sunday, where Rev. P. F. McNulty celebrated his first mass. Misses Bridget Waters, Ella Meehan and Bridget O'Donnell were visiting friends at M. Pleasant last week. DRIFTON ITEMS. A large number of people from here wilj attend the firemen's excursion which will leave Freeland 011 the 20th inst. Miss Hannah Gaffney, of Lansford, is visiting at the residence of Edward McGeehan. It is said that several parties here are making an effort to have tho old hospital cpnverigd into a place of amusement lor the benefit of the town people. This movement can hardly he sanctioned, as the sad scenes which have take place within its walls make it unsuitable for a place of the kind proposed. ' That awe and death-like silence, which is so pre velent in a cemetery, is felt by nearly all who enter it thus banishing all mirth and jollity. Nevertheless, we should have some place to hold public gather ings and festivities. Since the famous Cross Creek hall was burned such affairs have been held in Odd Fellows' hall, but that building is nusuitable for a large crowd. If the company could be induced to rebuild on tbe site of the big hall it would give amusements, etc., quite a boom. Mrs Michael Kelley, formerly of this place but now of Priceburg, Lacka wanna county, is visiting her mother at No. 2. Michael Marley, assistant mine fore man at No. 2 slope, resumed work on Monday, after an illness of several months. Frank Fiburski will take a course of studies at Villanova college, beginning with the next term. Ned Quinn, of Highland, spent Sun day here with friends. The horse shoe extension of the D. S. & S. around the breaker here is nearly completed. .lohn O'Donnell has been lying danger ously ill with miners' asthma. •Tiis. A. O'Donnell and D. J, Kennedy stood examination before the mine fore men's examining board last week. llenry Lockman, of Hazleton, was here visiting friends last week. The story going the rounds of the newspapers that Danny Coxo is being pushed by his friends for senatorial hon ors must have originated with some per son who is not accquainted with the man. lie is not a politician, nor is he l ikely to be one, and all concerning him in this line is pure nonsense. W. 11. Hines, who ist-seeking the nom ination for congress on tho Democratic ticket, was here on Friday viewing the field. He had scarcely left the town when Joe McGinty, his opponent for the same honor, arrived and made a survey of the place. On account of Mc- Giuty being somewhat better known here than Hines he will be likely to get the support of this district. UPPER LEHIGH NOTES. John Lesser was slightly injured by a runaway car on Tuesday at No. 5 slope. He is able to be about again. Thomas Davis is suffering with a sore hand. Misses Jennie Lind and Nettie Synaril returned to their homes in Lansford last week. P. J. Duffy Sr., has been suffering the past week from a severe attack of quinsy. Some of our young men propose starting in the milk business on an ex tensive scale in the near future. Mike Mulligan, Jr., while fishing at the Oley yesterday, had his fishing outtit stolen. Mike, you have our sympathy. We have been very fortunate, as far as steady work is concerned, all summer. The collieries are running almost every day. However, we have the promise of a few idle days this week. John B. Sweeney is building the largest hennery in Northeastern Pennsyl vania. He is also importing a fine stock of chickeus, among which are the black game known as the Katers. Jas. \. W. O'Donnell will shortly make his home in the Argentine Repub lic. Thos. Price, one of our former resi dents but now of Silver .Brook, was here visiting relatives yesterday. Peter McDevitt and Patrick Murray, two of our oldest residents, will remove te-morrow to Providence, Lackawanna county. One by one the old friends are leaving us. Those of our people who have been picking blackberries this Benson, report rattlesnakes very numerons in the Honeyhole. Four were killed yester day. A young married man of this place is receiving considerable attention of late from many of tho residents. It is thought he is guilty of the great crime of writing up the town. To these people wo would say, you are barking up tho wrong tree. It looks as if our base ball club desert ed us. Wake up, boys, the season will soon be over. This place is infested with Knights of the Road, and it would be well for tho people to watch them. These fellows follows the Central road from White Haven, and as this is the end of the branch they are never in any hurry to retrace their steps. The Coopersburg, Lehigh county, Sen tinel offers a year's subscription for the first correct translation into English of "Neapolilanersdudelsackpfeifergesellsch aftsunterstutzungsverein."
