Good results should not be expected with one gun and onekind of ammunition at all distances and for all purposes. A gunbarrel clampedin avise wiII not shoot its bulletsso close together as when a good marksman shoots it from a rest. Violent exercise just before shooting will ruin any man's score. Dissipation of any kind will have the same effect. The mun'e of a gun is always dangerous ; if not so considered, one soon contacts the habit of being careless with loaded firearms. It is any easy matter to sho.t when the trap is up, or to shoot on the wrong target; both these errors should be guarded again at each shot fired. Primers should be seated carefully to avoid crushing of fnlminate, and when seating them care should betsken that pcwderis out of ‘herange of any that may explode. No one who is afraid of the recoil of a gun can make a good score. Never wince before you are hurt; there is plenty of time to do that afterwud. Not one half of the guns made are worn out ; by far the greater number being ruined through lack of care or on account of being tinkered by their ownlrs. Examine your firearms frequently to see if rust has begun to form. Make it a point to prevent rust rather than remove it. Keep guns away from damp walls, and do not save them in positions that tend to warp the stocks. In shooting, the longest range of the gun should be taken into consideration. Ask yourself : Where will the bullet drop! The man who uses a long range rifle to shoot at a bird in a tree, is either very careless or very ignorant. A gun may shoot poorly because it is not fitted with fine sights, a fact which some- times is not fully appreciated. For instance, a telescope, spirit-level and vernler add no- thing tc the accuracy of a gun, but only af- fect the power of directing she‘s. Hold your gun in the same manner every time it is fired ; that is, with the same pres- sure to the shoulder, and do not hold the too to the shoulder at one time and the heel to the shoulder at another. The proper way is to hold the centre of the butt plate to the shoulder. The man that doesn't leave his wits at home is the one who succeeds in any kind of shooting, whether in the field, at the trap, or before the target.

In 1007 Virginia was colonized by Sir Walter Raleigh; in 1008 Champlain found- ed Quebec; and the following year New York was settled by the Dutch. To these settlements, in 1620, was added that of Massachusetts after the historic landing of the “ Pilgrim Fathers.” Horace Walpole relates that when the beautiful Countess of Suffolk married Mr. Howard they were both so poor that they went to iianover, before Queen Anne's death,to pay court to the future Royal Family. Having a party to dinner, and being disappointed of a remittance, the countess was forcedtosell her hair to fur- nish the entertainment. Imag wigs were then in fashion, and her hair, being very long, fine, and fair, produced her twenty pounds. Tea, according to Chinese writers, was first discovered in the 18th century. An lmpost was placed upon it by the Emperor Te-Tsaug in 781. It was introduced into Japan from China in the 9th century. The Dutch introduced it into Europe in l591 ; it was used in England on some rare occasions prior to IBM. and was sold at from £0 to £10 per pound. Millions of pounds weight of sloe, liquorice, and ash-tree leaves are every year mixed with Chinese toss in Eng- land. The annual consumption of tea in Great British is 30,000,000 pounds, while that of all the rest of the civilised world only amount to 92,000,000. A paper by Admiral l-‘. S.

I am going to have a plunge in the Serpentine," said a well- dreased, middle aged gent'eman to me, one warm Summer morning a few years ago, as I was on duty at the park gate of Knights' bridge Clvalry Barracks. “ All ri,ht, sir," I replied. “ If I am re- lieved before your return, I shall hand it over to the next sentry." “Oh, I shau't no more than half an hour at the latest, as I mu~t be in the city by nine. It doesn't contain very valuable propertyâ€" only a suit of clothes and a few documents ‘ of no use to any one but the owner,’ as the saying is. All the same, however, I have no desire to lose it." So saying, the gentleman turned away. The reqth to look after his property did not in the least surprise me, as numerous robberies from the clothing of persons bath- ing had for some time before been reported to the police. The barrack’s clock struck eight. Fully half an hour had elapsed since the owner of the bag departed, and as yet there was no sign of him; the " quarter past’- was chimed from the neighboring clocks, and. still he did not turn up. About half past eight I perceived a great commotion in the park. Men were rushing from all quarters in the direction of the Serpentine 5 and soon afterwards I ascertained from a passer-by that the excitement was caused by one of the unmer us bothers having been drowned. An uneasy suspicion was at once excited within vallse in my charge, which suspicion was in- tensified when I was relieved at nine, with the article still unclaimed. I handed over the bag to the sentry who relieved me with- out meutioning to him any of the circum- “ You forget that I am on sentry," I re- plied. “ Iwon’t be relieved until four. I daren't leave the guard." During the interval that elapsed until my period of duty was ended the gentleman paced about in a most impatient manner, ever and anon seeming to relieve his feelings by stopping to pat my horse. At length I left my post, and dismouuting, led my char- ger to the stable, and handed it over to a comrade; then divesting myself of my cui- rass, was ready to proceed to Scotland Yard. One of the corporals on guard received orders to accompany me ; so, together with the gentleman, we started, and crossing the street reached the police headquarters in a minute or two, and on making enquiries, were directed to the “Lost Property" do, pertinent. We stated our business, and an official, after receiving an assurance from me that the applicant was the right person, speedily produced the valiso. “ IV'hy didn’t you see about this before!" he asked, addres- sing the gentleman. " Because I was too ill to see about any- thing," was the reply. The gentlem u then signed a book, certi- fying that his property had been restored to him. giving as he did so the name of Nobbs. Having thanked the ofiiclal, Mr. Nobbs caught up his property and we left the office. When we got to the door we found assem- bled a small crowd of men employed about the entablishment; for the unusual spectacle l of two helmeted, jack-booted gnardsmen had caused a good deal of speculation as to our business there. Mr. Nobbs hurriedly brush- ! ed past them, and gaining the street hailed me that the person who had come to such a i 8 95331118 cab» find the derOI' Mi 01106 pulled sad and was the gentleman who had left his i up. “ Here is something for your trouble," he said, slipping a sovereign into my hand.

I also ascertained from the newspaper report that a man had been apprehended on suspi- cion of having attempted to ride the pockets of the clothes of the drowned man, and who had been roughly handled by the crowd, be- fore a policeman could be procured to take him Into custody. After a moment's refiec tion I decided to call at the address given in the paper, in order to arrange about the res- toration of the bag to the relatives of the dc- ceased. I was shown lnto a room, and immediate- ly afterward was waited upon by a young lady, the daughter of the deceased, who nat- urally enough, was perfectly overcome with grief. I explained to her in a few words the object of my visit. “ I am uncertain whether poor papa had a valise of that description when he left this morning," she said; " but possibly you may recognize him from the photograph," sub- mitting one she took from the table for my inspection. I experienced a strange sense of rzliefâ€"ths features in the photo were those of a person bearing no resemblance whatever to the in- dividual who had left his bag in my charge. The young lady thanked me heartin for the trouble I had taken in the matter; and I left the house of mourning and returned to the barracks in a very mystified state of mind. " Could the owner of the bag be the thief who was caught in the act of [lundering the dead man's clothes 2" I asked myself, but immediately dismissed the idea from my mind, as being absurd and improbable. After this the bag ceased to interest me, as the valueless character of its contents caused me to speculate less on the unaccountable conduct of its possessor in never returning for it. Some time afterwards I was on Queen’s guard, Westminster. I had just mounted my horse and taken up position in one of the two boxes facing Parliament street, when a gentleman st pped opposite me and scanned I me curiously. Addre-ing me, he said, “ Don‘t you remember me 2" There was no mistaking the voice it was Otherwise he “ Well," said the man, who I at once sur- mised was a member of the detective force, “that's the name you gave anyhow, when you were had up on the charge of feeling the pockets of the gent's clothes who was drown- ed in the Serpentine a week ago. I know you, although you've had a clean shave." I started on hearing this statement ; my suspicions, ridiculous as they seemed at the time, had turned out to be correct after all ; while Mr. Judd, alias Nobbs, turned as pale as death. “ Come out of that cab," said the detec- tive. “ You've no right to detain me," said Nobbs, ” I was discharged this morning." “ Because nothing was known against you â€"But look here, old man, what have you got in that bag 2” “ Only some old clothes, I assure you," said the crest-fallen Nobbs. " Come inside, and we’ll see," said the do. tective, roizing the bag. “Out of the cab â€"quick 1 and come with me to the office." Mr. Nobbs complied with a very bad grace; while the corporal and I l llowed, wonder- ing what was to happen next. We entered a room in the interior, and the bag was opened ; but it apparently con- tained nothing but the clothes. “ There is certainly no grounds for do. taining this man," said an inspector, stand- ing near. > Mr. Nobbs at once brightened up and cried ; “ You see I have told you the truth, and now be good enough to let me go." " All right," said the detective. Pack up your traps and clear out." hir. Nobbs this time complied with ex- ceeding alacrity, and began to replace the articles of clothing, when the detective seemingly acting on a sudden impulse, caught up the valise and gave it a vigorous shake. A slight rustling sound was dis- tinctly audible. " Hillo l what's this!" cried the ofiioer. Emptying the clothes out of the bag, be pro- duced a pocket knife, and in a trice ripped open a false bottom. and found about two dozen valuable diamond rings and a magni- ficent emerald necklace carefully packed in waddlng, besides a number of unset stones. The jubilant detr ctive at once oomparrd them with a list which he took item a file, and pronounced them to be the entire pro- coeds of a daring robbery that had recently been committed in the shop of a West End Hr. Nobbs, alias J addâ€"these names were two of a formidable string of aliasesâ€"tamed out to be an expert oolner, burglar and swin- dlcr, who had long been “ wanted " by the police. He was convicted and sentcuced to a lengthened period of penal servitude. A few weeks after Mr. Nobbs hid receiv- ed his well-earued punishment, I received a visit from a gentleman, who stated that he was cashierin the jeweller‘s establishment in which the robbery had been committed He informed me that his employer, having taken into consideration the fact that I was to a certain extent, instrumental in the re- covery of the stolen jewellery, had sent me a present of thirty pounds. I gratz fully ac- cepted the money, which, as I had seen enough of soldiering, I invested in the pur- chase of my discharge from the Household Cavalry. THE LONELY A BC I‘IO. During the three long weeks in which we were beset in ice, time hung heavily on our hands, although we all had some daily duties to perform. Occasionally we would get a shot at a mum or a gull, or, if the ice opened up a little, a shot at aseal. After living for some time on salt meat, a delicacy like curried gull or seal pie or boiled seal flipped was highly appreciated. For amuse- ment and exercise we were obliged to con- tent ourselves with pitching rope qnoits on deck, walking over the ice, or, when a par- ticularly largo ice pan was near the ship, by a game of 'roubders.’ Those who, like myself, belonged to the gr: at order of land- blubbers, would make vain attempts to imi‘ tato the sailors in climbing about the rigging, and to impress the crew with the idea that we were old hands at it. STRANGE ancrlc scusrs. But in spite of the occasional tedium of our monotonous life while imprisoned in the ice there was much to interest one who had never been in Arctic regions before. At times one would be impressed with the supernatural things which the surroundings would give, Everything seems odd and the world upside down and chaos came again, who re nothing was to be seen but iceâ€"ice everywhere except where the black rocks of Resolute Island broke the surface. On the evening of June ‘21, the longest day of the year, I remained a long time on deck. it was bright clear and cold, the thermometer at 8 p.m., registering 31 deg. In that region the variation of the llugneiic needle is very great, being 55 dog. to the west of true north. Sunset occured about 10 p. m. on that evening. It was difiicult almost to con- vince myself, knowing the time of the night, that I was not dreaming. And strongest of all the sun was setting east of north by l compass. A DOUBLE EXECUTION. ‘l'wo Murderers Gnluotlned at Dnyb‘eak Before a rarls Crowd. The two notorious criminalsâ€"Gaspard, who murdered the old Dclsunay in the Rue d'Angouleme, and Marchandou, who cut the throat of the Creole lady, whose service he had entered, according to his custom, for the purpose of plunderâ€"were guillotiued shortly after daybreak. It was expected that the wretches would be repr‘oved, as Gaspard had hadan accomplice, and March- audcn's friends had made energetic efi’orte to save him from the guillotine. Their ap- peals, however, were rejected, and both the criminals were handed over to the common executioner. At 1 o'clock in the morning the Place do is Roquet‘te, cu'sido the prison of the con- demned,'was fallof people, who, as is custom- ary on such occasions, had remained up all night to witness what, in the annals of re- cent seusltion, Was an exceptional sight, namely, a double execution. The police had considerable difiiculty in keeping the crowd of sightseers in their places, and the mount- ed gendarmes were frequently called into re- quisitionto clear the approaches tothe places of execution. The usual horseplay, low jokes, and badiuage were freely indulged in by the expectant crowd in the roadway, composed as it was of the lowest strata of the Parisian rabble. Snatches of obscene songs were even sung by some of the villain- ous gamins and vicious girls who pressed through the crowd to obtain a view of a scene which seemed to have no terrors for them. ' At 1 o’clock a moving light was seen ap- proaching. It preceded a dark mass scarce- ly discernible through the enveloping dark- ness. This was the car conveying the ter- rible bar's do justice, or guillotine, which had once more been removed from its resting place in the vicinity of the prison. It was followed by Deibler and his assistants, and was well guarded by policemen. Turning the corner of the Rue Folio Reguault, the ghastly caravan lumbered heavily into the Place dela Roquetto, and stopped before the door of the 1 ill. The guillotine was promptly dismounted and by 2 o'clock everythlng was ready. Del- bler, having snporintended the preparatory measures, went into the jail with two of his men, and there was then a long spell of wait- ing and expectation, during which the day dawned on the impatient and chattering crowd that filled the Place de la Roquette. At 4 o'clock the numbers were increased by workmen and others who were obliged to be up early, and barricades were put up by the police to prevent the people from filling up the approaches to the place of execution. A long narrow basket was now placed near the block of the guillotine, and at ten minutes to 5the huge, heavy and gloomy doors of the prison swung open amid a dead- ly silence, only broken by the sharp rattling of the geudnrmes' swords as they were drawn from their scabbards. Gaspard was the first of the felons led to death. Tall and muscuo lar, he walked firmly between two priests, whose ministration he had rejected until the approach of his term. His face was pale and his features con- tracted convulsiver as he neared the guilloo tine. Here he stooped toward the prison chaplain, the Abbe Faure, and embraced first the priest and then a crucifix held by the latter in his hand. He was now seized by the executioners. his head was placed in he Inmate, and, after an awkward pause, during which Deibler seemed to have lost the momentaryfcontrcl of his instrument, the knife descended, and the headless trunk of the criminal fell away from the baseule. The head was then put into the basket. The guillotine was now washed, and every- thing set in order for the next execution. After an interval of seventeen minutes, dur- ing which the olamorous crowd seemed to have lost its grotesque gayety, the doors of of the prison again opened, and hiarchandan, looking like a pale boy of 17, tattered feeny out, supported by the Abbe Faure and the other priest who had assisted Gaspard. The criminal was evidently more dead than alive. Be still were the patent leather boots with painted toe caps which he had on when arrssted in his country house at It was a weird, eerie, impressive l behind the ice, as if conquered by obstinate I frigidity, the still Arctic twilight shed its ‘ pale light about. Clouds, like a funeral: pail, hung over the grave of the extinct sun. Solemn, mysterious, gigantic icebergs moved slowly along, carried on by hidden currents which were powerless on the sur- face. The ghostly procession passed in re- l view while our little ship lay mntionleas in icy fetters. Resolution Island, black, for- ' bidding, looked like the evil genius of this strange scene. Later on the moon rose and filtered pale, flickering rays through the u clouds which, mixed with the peculiar Arc. tic glow, made the most singular and super- 4 natural light I have ever seen.
