One fourth of tha wholo number wero required to attend publio worship, fully armed, every Lord's day, and such as oould camo on lecturo days to be at the meeting houso at the latest bofoie the so ocmd drum had left beating, with their arrnB complete, their guua loaded, and well provided with matches or Hint, and ammunition for at least five shots, beside the ohargo In their guna. Tha Bentrlca were to have thoir matches lighted. During the religious services tho arms stood in a raok near tha door. One of these faoks, uastf 200 years ago, is now in tha possession ot the Long Islsud Historical Society. They wera man who watched and prayod, woro those old settlors.

Tho churoh was built lu tha center of tha square iu the middle of tho town, ou tho highest eminonoe. The colony grow and thrived' apaoe and' began to send out offshoots in various directions. Rev. John Youngs diod February 24, 1672, and was burled noar the church edifice. He was twice married and had seven or eight A sketoh la given of the old churchyard of the colony, and somo of tha Inscriptions are copied.

The first churoh edifice stood in a part of what is now tho church cemetery of Southold, and its elte is marked by a locust poet set in a depression of tho ground. In 1G81 the original odifloe was converted into A jail. In 1664 Long Island was luoluded in the patent givon to the Duke of York, afterward James aud in 1664 when New York was surrendered to tbo English by tha Dutch, Southold fell undor the govornment of the Now York provinoial governors. Previous to this thoy had been a part of tho Connecticut colony. They found tha rule of tho duke's governors irksome, and thoro was some contention between tho colony and tho governor.

Iu July, 1073, tha Dutch retook New York and summoned the colonies of Long Island to aond deputies to Now York. But Southold, Southampton and East Hampton Bent deputies to the Connecticut colony asking for its governmout aud protection, and the threo towns were taken undor its protection and formod iuto a oounty. They declined tho Dutch jurladiction. Commissioners wore sent from New Amsterdam to arrange matters, but without success, and tho followiug Spring, whon the Dutoh finally yleldod up tha govornmeut of New Netherlands, the Long Island colonies passed again under the jurladiction of tho New York governor. THE SECOND PERIOD in the history of Southold, is oovered by the ministry of tho Rev.

Joshua Hobart, and extends from 1674 to 1717. Uov. John Youngs had died in 1672, and two yoars aftor Rev. Joshua Hobart was callod to tho pastorate of the Southold ohurch. Ha was born iu Eugland, came to this country with his parents hia fathor was forty yoara pastor at Hlngham, Mass.

and graduated from Harvard College, in 1C50. Ho was ordained pastor of Southold October 7, 1074, and died Fobruary 28, 1716. His salary was at firat 80 aud theu 100 pounds a yoar. A houso was built for him, and he received a grant of soma hundreds of acres of land altogether, a moat liberal sttlemont. A ahilllug then was worth a dollar of our money now, and his salary was equal to about $4,000, beside tbe revenue from his farm, which was given to him and his heirs forever.

His dwelling ha subsequently sold to tha town, and it was used as a parsonage until 1787. It stood ou Hallock's Nook, a fow rods eoutheaat of the present dwolling of Mr. Kobert Linsley. Tha remaliiB of the ohimnoy are still to bo seen. Mr.

Hobart was pastor of tho Southold Churoh forty three years. Ho was prominent in the elvil and industrial internets of his pooplo from tha beginning of his ministry. Ho was something ot a physician aud practiced mediciuo. Various obangea wera made aa tha town grow and prospered aud the colony sproad out ovor tha Burrouudiug country. The groat world beyond tha sea was in a mighty turmoil in theso yaart, aud quiot years they wore for Southold.

Soma of the most momoutoua ovonta in Europe's modern history wore enacting, but tho paopla in their far away corner pursued the even teuor of their way, undmlndful of their own affairs, and looking well to the material aud spiritual welfaro of thoir community. The author gives many extracts from tha old town records, showing their progress and illustrating tho affairs which on gaged thoir atieutiou. Hov. Joshua Hobart lived to tho ripo ago of 87 years, and was buried iu Southold. Tho Inscription ou his tomb 1b missing, but a copy haa beon pratorrod, and la given by tha author.

Tha third period iu Southold's history extends from 1720 to 1730, and Is coverod by tho ministry of Uov. Benjamin Woolsey. IIo oamo of Eugllah etoek, aud was born at Jamaica, Long Island, November 19, 1687, and graduated from Yolo Collogo in tho class of 1700, HIb class numbered nluo graduates, aud in respect to eooial standing, whloh was tho principle of arrangement in tho college catalogue at that time, ha hold tho central placo iu his class. Ho married Abigail Taylor, daughter of John Taylor, of Oyster Bay. He was pastor for sixteen yoors, and in 1736, when his wifo inherited a valuable estate from her fathor, bo removed to Oyster Bay.

No special oveut marked his pastorate in tho history of tho town. Tho church romainod without a pastor for two yoars, and then called Rov. James Davouport, who was installed October 26, 1738. Uuder hie ministry Southold rounded Out her first century. During tho later years of this period hor civil government was orderly and peaoeful the colony grow sud prosporod, and oxtonded its boundorlos.

Tho history of Uov. Mr. Davenport's ministry does not form a part of this volume. Tho author goes largely into the genealogical history of tho town, aud tracoa the caroers ot somo of tho descendants of tho earlier settlers, beyond its limits. Not much, perhaps, that 1b uaw is told of tho town's oarly history, but the arrangement is oxcallont and the narrative Interesting.

Tho book has throo illustrations, oue a picture of the present First Ohurch of Southold, tho second a copy of an old tombstone, and tbe third a sketch ot tha old Horton homestead. tho rear and cut of oicapa in that cireotion, ine young man averred that ha mentally resolved to fire over tha heads of any porsons attempting to gat out by tha bzck door: and the testimony of the two rheu who ona of whom was Bhot in tha arm at tho flrat Are, cor roborated hiB statement In this partltuiar.

THE CLOSING SCSNE. As the day of execution approached, and all hope of a naw trial disappeared, tho doomed mon admitted their guilt aud confirmed Wallace's story.

Lyons had littlo to say, but Poor weakened aud became quite garrulous, repeating the details of tho tragedy over and over again. On tha scaffold it waa tho same thing. Lyons appeared tho quiet, resolute, determined man that he was, while Poor raved and orieel and prayed by turns. True to hia nature and habits of life, Jim de oliuod the offer of a new Bint of black clothes to be hauged in, and woro his gray hunting shirt and the clothes he was accustomed to wear when tracking the grizzly lu tho fastnesses of tho mountains. He died ns ho bad lived without foar and on the fatal plattoroi fiercely donouucod his old euomy, Dufneld, whom he noticed gayly riding around tho vast crowd that on clrled tho scaffold.

BRITISH C0LUJIUIA. Appearance ot Victoria aud Klabltu of tho Peoplc Tlie Salmon Fishery Tho OhlueMO Question iu Australia. Correspondence of tho Euglo. San Francisco, April, 1882. In accordance with my promise I will now oontlnno tha "Impression da voyago" made from San Franoisco to Vaueouvors and Queon Charlotte Islands, and at several points In British Columbia.

Tho voyage by sea from San Franoisco to Viotoria, tha capital of British Columbia, situated on Vancouver's Island, took four days and was vary pleasant. Of eome 222 passengers only eleven Btoppod in the British possoaslouB. All the others woro bound for ports in Washington Territory, which is fast filling up with an industrious, agricultural people Inatoad of spooulatlvo fortuue hunters. Viotoria is a pretty littlo olty of 6,000 inhabitants, ploturosquely situated on a lovoly harbor, Its citizens extremely well oultivated, thoroughly English in their habits, and of unbounded hospitality to well accredited Btrangors. Iu 1849 it was only au Indian trading post of tho Hudson Bay Company, with a fow houses aud a brook house or fort, the whole surrounded by a stockade.

Now, It has some beautiful private residences, wide streets, lino stores, a publio library, Ma sonio temple, Odd Follows Hall, woll appointed hospital, a large sominary, six ohnrchei, five publio aohools, solid stone publio buildings, euch as post oIUco, custom houeo, waro houses, large machine shops, foundry, two banks, five dooks, (oue stono dry dock in process of construction, at a cost of $2,000,000, will bo able to float tho largest vessel In the English navy), Houses of Parliament, all tho streots lighted with gas, fine water works, a paid fire dopartmont with two stoamors tho streets and roads are macadamized for twenty two miles around the city and kept In superb ordor by; tho chain gang, consisting of prisouoM oouvioted of minor offeuses. I thought what a saving to Brooklyn it would bo if our stroots wore kept oloan In like manner. The olimata Is mild, aud although 750 milos to tho Northward of 'Frlaoo, yot in Wiutor tho thermomotor is eeldotu below 40 and in Summor rarely abovo 70 degrees Fahrenheit. The business consists miinly in supplying tho mainland with merohondlso aud supplies of various kiuds, and small voiaol building. British Columbia has many resources, such os fluo bituminous coal and Iron mlnoB, wonderful lumber regions on navigable streams, which aro filled with Balinon, whiting, muscalougo, oulahan or uanilio fish (so nanisd from being driod and burned head downward like a caudle.) THE SALMON CANNERIES on tho Frasor Rive.

aro olevon in number, and theso caught and shipped to England 680,000 boxes, containing each 48 oans, of a pound each, viitls on tho Columbia Rlvor, In tho United States, 32 cannorlos only made 360,000 boxos of 4 dozon cans each. Why is it 7 Because lu this country our resources are allowed to bo drawn upon without regulation, whila in tho English possessions everything la woll regulated. You will bo, uo doubt, Bttrprlsed whon I make tho statement that the long and expensive Indian war wo had with Sitting Bull was not owing entirely to the trauafor from ono reservation to another, but to the scarcity of salmon iu tho upper waters of tha Columbia, which in foruaor yeara rurniBhod tho Indians of tho upper oountry with abundance of food, such as uuder thu fostering oaro of English laws tho MacKauzIe aud Fraser rivers do how aud will for all time. No canneries, or fish rendering works undor tho now law oan bo established, oxcapt at a iooation indicated by tho flahiug commissioner under a yearly llcanaa of $250 and a tonnage lioenso for each boat employed they cau only fish for certain fish at and between certain times and then only In tho districts indicated within thoir licensee. Tho number of faotorios at various localities Is left to tho discrimination of the Ashing ooinmlssloner, who being appointed for lifo or during good behavior at a round yearly salary aud being a mau of groat knowledgo In suoh matters oannot bo Improperly influenced.

What is tho ro ault of thia restrictive Bystam 1 Why, ovary British subject engaged lu the fisheries la doing well, and the fish ara plentiful, while those ou tho Columbia aro Boratohing every yoar harder, from tho comparative scarcity of flail, whloh will, probably, in a few years disappear, aa thoy have in tho Sacramento River. Wo see tho effect of unreatrloted fishing on our Eastern coast ou tbo great manhadon fishing Industry. Tha lumber districts are wonderful tho troea commonly aro as straight as an arrow, avoraglng about 100 to 150 foot high and from two to eoven foot in dlomotor. Tho treo oallod tho Douglas plno, a wood something like our yollow plno, only lighter, loss resinous aud more flexible, furnishes the largo mills on tho many deep inland bays with Materials and glvei oinployment to hundreds of Indians, who are woll lookod aftor by the Indian Commissioners, bo that they aro not cheated an honest polioy, praoticod for ovor two hundred years toward them, tbe result of which is a completo Immunity from Indian wars. Now, thoso oro practical foots, and the result of a wise polioy.

Look at tho way they havo dealt in Australia with the Chinese question. Thoy fouud, as in California, that formerly they required Chinese labor, that thoy do now to a groat oxtout, but that the Chinaman from his mode of living, his steady industry and frugal (but nasty) habits, wbb quietly sapping Ml tho industries, and taking tho broad out of tho mouths of the cltlzons, as thoy ore now doing in California; but still, recognizing tho want of their labor In many obanuola, and thero being ouough iu the country, what do thoso loug hoadod Scotch and English do In Australia? Thoy pass a almplo practical bill, violating no treaty, not prohibitory but Bimply restrictive iu its naturo, and it eottlos tho Chlupso quostiou thora at onco. The bill simply restrlota vossels undor heavy penalties from bringing over one Mongollau or Chinaman to oaoh 100 tons register, and adds $50 per capita to each ona landed thero, for whloh tho vosboI risponslhlo; and entering tho oountry in any other manner a per capita tax of $250 is laid, and auy Chinese mau or woman caught without proofs of how thoy came, with date of registered passport, ia immediately made to work out tha amount, either iu the work houses or chain gangs. Not bolng a lawyer It Bsoins to mo that such a bill COULD BE ENFORCED HERE so aa to proteot us lu a moasuro Irom ar. Asiatic r.ica bringing from thalr overorowdod country habits, customs, morals, vices and spirit antagonistic to our institutions; who, while being thrifty, industrious, economical aud frugal, uever booomo ldontlflod with our country, aud whose good traits of oharaotor are suck, ing dry tho means of livelihood of our own working olaseos, Bonding their earaiugs to China, instead of bolng epont in tho oountry, whioh would bo the case if earned by our own peoplo.

In justice, however, I will say that It is in a groat measure the fault of tbe working elaiass euch a state of things exists In California and othor Pacific States. Tho laboring olassca havo beon so uuoteady, so unreliable, so exorbitant in thoir dtmands for service, that California nover would have boeh where she la to day had it not baon for Chinese labor. But thoro Is ouough of them thare, and while i ooognlzlug the benefits thoir labor has baon to the Paelfio slope, yet "Blood Is thloker thau water," and I am In favor of my own race when it comes to a struggle for existence. Speaking of California, I will remark that my observations have proved to ma that the State has beon over written, over exaggerated, over described and over euloglted as to Its rosourcsa, soonery, ollmato, productions and inducements to live thora. It is a groat State thera li no doubt, and bad tha same money, labor, energy and talont boon expended In developing Its agricultural and manufacturing resources as was spout on Its mining onaa, to tho exclusion of all the others, California to day would be In a far more prosperous condition than aha now 1b, and Instead of tho millions being In the hands of a faw bonanza kings, tho people at large would hava them.

Tho mode of travel over tha Coutral and Union Pacific railroads is expensive, owing to tho high rates chargod for sleepers, aud you got miserable meals along the route, while tho journey is very tedious, owing to their running only about 18 miles par hour, and Is monotonous to a dogreo, as thero is not much striking aconery to speak of exoopt Cape Horn, over tho Sierra Madra (but whloh ia passed ovor at night), tho Devil's Slide, tho palisades aud a few other points but travelers vi ho have been over the Baltimore and Ohio, too Pennsylvania and Erie roads will seo no such scenery crossing tho continent by the Central Pacific and Union Pacific roads. I am psrfectly satisfied with old Brooklyn, but would like to see her have a flue central street, to placo her on a lsve! with many cities of tha country far beneath her as to population and Influonce.

Borne Extracts From the Rebel Poetry of the Period The Famous JJattle Sonar Writer of the South "The Sword or Kobert LeC "The March of the Deathless Dead" A Land Without Ruins The Prayer of the South The Conquered Banner, Sentinel Sonfjs, Etc.

Rhymes not Likely to Live with tho Songs of the Jacobites. Father Ryan's poems obtained a wide celebrity In tho South, published from timo to time during the last twenty years iu tho Southern 'Thoir reoent collodion aud revision by tho author, and their reproduction iu a neat Tolumo by tho Catholio publisher of n.i.timore, Mr. John B. Plot, glvo opportunity for tho readjustment ol what was a somewhat extravagant valuation ol Father Ryan's muse. Regarding theui collectively, itia quite cvideut that tho famo of tho poet rests largoly ou what ho calls hii patriotio Joeni8, those written iu favor of the secession causo and its bravo upholders.

Somo of those havo the true martial ring about them, but tho religious and miscellaneous poem1! can hardly be said to rise to the level of mediocrity. The author is ontirely correct wiieu ho Soils iisin tho preface that they aro incomplete in finish. Ho uovor dreamed of taking oven the lowest plaoo in the rani of authors. Theu why publish them? Tho old story Iudlscroot friends insisted, and so the author is forced to front tho vorld and iU critics. Thoy re, in fact, below oriticism, with the oxception of somo of tho secession songs.

Of rather llyan'a personal history little Is known. Tho publisher, to whom appltoa tion was made for fncts suluelently ample to found It Sketch, that ho know no datailB, nor would tho author's friends furnish any, one of them, himself a priest, being then engaged on a biography to be published after tho poet's death. All that ia known is that Father Abrnm J. Kjau was born at Norfolk, became a priest and was for several years pastor of St. Mary's Church, Mobile.

As regards Father Hyau's secession sougs if anyone not acquainted with them expects to find in them tho quality of the old Jacobite songs 'he will bo mistakon. Xhe fact soeuis to bo that tho world, including the Southern people, now recognizos the truth that tho lost Causuwas about as bad a causo as ever bonded tnon together since tho world began, and that, save tho admiration which ono must feel for heroism everywhere, thora Ij but Jltilo of enthusiasm to bo roused in rocalllug that awful mistake that brought tho sections fiogethor in bloody conflict, Tho story can be told In rhymed vorses, but no admiration follows, or if it dooa appear it Is of a forced quality. In fact, coolly considered after twenty years, tho attempt tho South set forth on was in tho beginning madly Qtiixotfo, and the close of tho drama, after oceans of blood had boon gplllod, when Loo surrendered and Grant told tho Southernere, who regarded thcnliolves us hiatoriO Vic Hm about to bo offered up on tho altar of the Lost Cause to take their mnloa and horses and go home and plow and raise crops, and recover their lost proe parity, was almost as ludicrous as tho manner in which tho doughty Don finished boum of his engagements. If tho Lost Caueo had any dignity beforo tho bottom was knocked clean out then. There was only tho blood and bravery to ba recalled as tho result of what tho actors theinnolves must now rogard as tho most stupendous tnndness that over affected a pooplo.

The flroi if 'he poems wo shall quote is "The Sword of Robert Loo was, from a Southern standpoint, a immaculate as Bayard aud as accomplished as Cricitlou. He was, boforo John Brown's day and whilo a uij ir iu the regular army, confirmed as a Communicant in tho Episcopal church at Alexandria. At tho close of tho servioes Major Lee walked away from tho church arm iu arm with the bielmp on one side and an assisting clorgytuan, who related the story to tho writer, ou the other.

M. J.

An old gentleman who was washing dishes pulled out what at tho time constituted a banknote, aud holding it up to tho light said to tho kind hoartod clergyman "You seo that, well, a fow yonra ago It wa as good as a Government bond." "And bo In a country of ups and downs ltko Aniorica," continued Father Hat ton, "tho Importance, worth and value of such Homaa for tho Aged, aa havo beeu established, oannot bo overestimated," THB OKN'TEAL HOME, or that situated on Bushwick avenue, la full all tho time aud, what fs strauga to state, its death rate unusually Bmall.

Somo idea of the magnitude of the labors ot tho ordor of the Littlo Sisters of tltu Poor may bo Inferred from tho work accomplished.

Tho largest village in tho world is convulsed with tho wilitest eioltemont. Hyde Park, with its forty eight square miles of territory, its 30,000 peoplo, lis vast and varied lnduitrloi, its innumerable railroads, actual and projected, Is toru by internal dlssouilons, Its legal luminaries are armln; for the strifo to com. The Ifydo Park braurh of the Illinois Humane Association is ogltated to its profoundeit depths. The horizon is dark with threatening clouds, aud blood on tha surface of thu moon la hourly expected. Aud this is tha reason theieof Two gentlemen hitherto joined by ties of oldest friendship, board In the samo house In Hyde Park.

Ona owns a valuable dog. The other was tho reelplout, uot long ago, of a small alligator from au admiring friend In Fiorida. They kept thalrreipuotivs pete In tha urns barn. Tho dog occupied a kennel palatial Iu its mag nificonco, and dreamed its dream of tho "happy hunting grounds" ou a downy bed of Hyde Park'a ohoioaat, frasbest, moat aromatic prairlo hay. The alligator reposed In tho depths of a tub of tha sweat, pure lake rater supplied at raaiouablo rates by tha now wator works.

All was peaoa and harmony, but, alas I thara camo a ehauga. In tho dead of night tho dog awoka from a dream of duoks and tha mighty obluiueys of l'tihuau and South Chicago, with tho luHtlnotsof his race strong upou biro, and found himsolf ou a dead point ou ttm alligator. Ho was temporarily luBane. An instant, and tho alligator was no more. Next uiurninE, before braakfaat, tha two gentlemen Yleltod tlm baru.

Wuiit a change was ibei No longer was the dark hucd native of the land ot orauao flowers reputing lu tha liquid depths of fill sandal wood tub. No longer did tho faithful dog advance with tho ao customed wag of his graceful tail. On nis bed of fragrant nralrs hay ho lay stretched in agony, with a look of dogged endurauco ia hia fond brown ayes. "One swallow doeB not roako a summer," but It waa rapidly bringing tho dog days to a doio. Your infernal alligator has sickouod my dog unto doath." "Your voracious canino has swallowed my alligator." "1 deny tho allegation and hurl doflanco at tha alligator.

Ob, my poor dog "You'll bit your beastly dog if you do. Oh, my poor alligator "It was a scaly trlok." "It's a dogoned shame." "Seo the tears Iu ray poor dog'a ayi." "They're orocodiie teara." "I'll suo you for my dog." "I'll sue you for my alligator."

Lyons was a nntiva of Pennsylvania, a man of medium height and powerful frame, with keen gray oyes, overhanging brows, and bold, resolute, massive features, Tho rough, strangely marked face, so cold in danger and terrible in passion, was ordinarily ploasant and gonial in its expression. It would be hard to find a mauller looking man or ono of a more determined chars otor. Lyons had a ranch about twenty five miles above the beautiful littlo mining town of Columbia, but found hunting much more congenial to his nature than farming.

Day and night, Winter and Summer, ho followod his favorite pursuit. Armed with his trusty rifle aud a huge hunting kuifa, aud with no other. companiona thau hia dogs, Lyons loved abovo all thiuga to track tho grizsly to his lair and fightbim to tho death. Not one, big or littlo, old or young, was ever known to havo escaped him when once ancouu terou, although he bore on his porsou more thau one ugly mark of his flerco struggles with tho savage beu Tha man was a singular compound of good and evil. Time and agaiu had ho risked his lifo to save others, and in hours of suffering ond danger oxhlbitod a gonorous and horoio Bpirit.

Yot, notwithstanding this, tho name of Jim LyouB grew to be a terror iu tho mountains. Mysterious murders in the vlainity ot his ranch were attributed to him, and ho was arrested so oftou that he used to soy "It looks as If thora can't ba a man murdorod In the mountains without Jim Lyons is arrested right off." Aa a rulo ho mad light of such accusations, and had no difficulty In gottlug rid of thom. Tho suspicions, ft was remarked, uniformly took tho same shape the deceased haa in somo maunor crossed Lyons' path. At ouo timo it was a Frenchman, a partner of Jim's. Thoy wero known to have quarelled, and the'Frenohman was found dead with a bullet lu hia brain.

Again, it waa a rival huuter who hud spoken disparagingly of LyonB. No human eye other than that of the slayer had witupssod bis tragio doath, and yet thero was but one opinion in regard to it among tha mouutolnoers. Thio waa tho bad eldo of Lyona' reputation. Tho better oharacter came In from those who had seen him share his last tack of flour in the doad of Winter with a destitute family, and wltuessod his manly griof when a detracted mothor begged him, for God's sake, to go out In tho storm aud darkuoss lu searah of a lost child, whom he rescued from oertain death after an awful night of peril aud hardship. In bis nature wero blended vindictive and revengeful passlonB, aud wai generous, noble sympathies.

How neroe and terrible the battle wilhiu his own breast, whon his good angel aud ovil goniua struggled for the mastery, who ean tell? Undor soma clreumstanceB and oertain conditions of lifo ho would have boen a brave, harolo worker in tha causa of humanity. Under others, a niurdoror and an outlaw. In tho Spring of 1855 the troubles between tha minors aud owners of the old wator compauy, which had beeu going on for eoveral yoars, owing to the high and ox orbitant rates chargod by the oompauy, and which gave rise to mass meetings, big processions and stormy proceedings, culminated iu the determination of the people to form a water company of their own and build a ditch for themselves. Amoug the most enthusiastic lu this gigantic enterprise, for such it really was, all things considered, was tho late JaniOB W. Coffroth, who personally wont into the mountains and workod with pick and shovel llko "au honest minor," Much of his subsequent popularity was duo to bis manly actiou iu this practical strike against tho exactions of the water monopoly.

Ouo of tho greatest difficulties iu oarryiug out this ontorprisa was to provide food for tlio hundreds of men engaged in the work at different points higb up iu the mountains. Wheu hard pressed, aud suffering for the necessaries of life, "Grizzly Jim" camo to the rescue. Early aud late ha waa roamlug the woods with his dogs, and supplying oamp after camp with gtizziies, deer, and well nigh every kind of meat to bo found In that regiou. His surcoss In this roiqiept was woudcrful, aud won tor him tho gratitude and admiration of all aoucot ued. Whilo thus ongngod, on ouo occasion, Jim camo across a couple of miners who had left camp to do a hunting for themselves, and got into closo quarters iu cousequence.

They had stirred up a grizzly of enormous size and unusual ferocity, and after firing at him got demoralized and turned to run. Tha grizzly, Bllghtly woundod by tho shots and mado furious by the attaok, piirsuod tho unlucky hunters at a rapid gait, and was rapidly olosing upon one of theui, when Lyons oriuo upon tho econe, attracted by tho outcries of the terrified minor, Tho latter was making for a treo a Ehort distance off, but, although running for life, waa ready to fall at auy moment with fright aud exhaustion. With a yell to his dogs which made tho old woods echo and oauBed tho grizzly to stop and turn for a moment, Jim threw nimsolfn the path of the bear and covered the minor's retreat. The Infuriated brute, robbod of its prey, savagely rushed on LyonB, despite tho efforts of tho doga, and oveu tho Bbarp oraclt of tho hunter's unerring riflo fniled to bring him to the earth. Quick as a flash tbo man aud grizzly grappled in a doath struggle, Lyons using his ponderous hunting knlfo, aud the faithful dogs hanging ou to the monster like grim death.

Both went dowu at the euddou onset, and for a few sooondB rolled together on tho ground. Then Lyons, with a herculean offort, shook off his huge uutagonist, but fell beside him, more dead thau alive, and literally oovered with blood from hia own wounds aud those ho had given the grizzly. The minors now, in turn, came to Jim's assistance and put the fiuishrng touohos on tha common enemy, which was found to have beeu shot twice and ripped open with seven horrible knife wounds. The vitality of the brute was something wonderful, and even "Grizzly Jim" had to own up that this waa "a pretty olosecall," With the exception of an ugly gash in tho shoulder and a scrape across tho loins, which took olothes and hide along with ft, tho hunter's Injuries wero of a slight nature, and not deemed by htm BUllioiout to bothor a dootor about. But for the timely arrival of Lyons, there could ba no question of the miner's fata, as ha sank exhausted at the loot of tbe treo, which was exceedingly dlmoult for ona to ohmb uuder auy circumstances.

THE DUFFIELD SHOOTrXG AFFAIR. Among tho mountain meu who both foared and hated Jim Lyouo was M. II. Duflleld, lata States Marshal of Arizona. Tho oauso of tha feud botweeu them was not generally knowu, but of its existonoe and intensity thero oould be no room for doubt.

That blood would flow from It was a forogono conclusion. The desperate character of the parties placed this beyoud conjecture. Iu skill, oourago and determination tho men woro very well matched. Lyons was mora widoly known for Iub Banguinury exploits, but among thoso who knew tho man Duffloid had a reputation for uarvo, oulmuese and skill with the pistol second to His subsequent bloody caraor iu Arizoua and traglo death, If. proof woro wanting, prove this reputation to have boen well founded.

Finally the long lookod for affray camo off in the stroota of Souora, near tho old City Hotel. Lyons and a friend of his wro lu town, drluklug freoly, whon DnfUold arrived Iu their liquor they grew boisterous, and recklessly mado threats to kill Duffiold on sight. The latter was uot slow to glvo thom tho oovetod opportunity. His ap pearauoo on tho scene was tho signal for a brief but rapid exchange of shots, lh which all three participated. Duflleld fired with wonderful rapidity and precision, daugeruualy wounding both his autagonists, and getting off without a Boratoh.

LyonB recovorod, and claimed that Duflleld had taken advantage of hlin when drunk, but public opinion justlflod the latter, aud tho general verdict was "Served 'em rightl" Fresh troublo was anticipated, as the vlndictlvo character of Grizsly Jim'' was too generally knowu to admit of thoughts of reconciliation. Mora than once, afterward, thora would hav beou ugly work betwoen tho samo parlies, Lyons alwayB being the aggressor, but for the interference of hiands. Duffiold found eternal vigilance the price of lifo, If not of liborty, from that time forward. Night and day ho was constantly on his guard, and uover folt sooura until he stood beneath the scaffold and saw Jim LyonB launched into oternity. TUB BLAKEBLEE MUBDEB.

One dark and stormy Winter's night, news ot a most shocking aud horrlbla murder in the mountains was brought to Sonora. It appeared that the Diakesloo boys, who had a ranch iu tha direction of tho Lyons place, wera tho subjects of a murdorous attack. While Boated arouud tho table for supper, at the close of the day, soma oue from the outslda suddenly fired upon them through the window, and at tbo same instant tho door was burst open and a niau eutered with pistol cooked, filing rapidly upon tho terrified brothers, The latter Bought safety In retreat through the back door, where thoy found another man stationed with pistol In hand, but whose shots did not take effect, Two of tho Blakcslees mado their escape to the woods, leaving the other mortally wounded and In a dying condition. Robbery was ovidontly not the object of the murderous attaok, whouvor tha guilty parties were, for thoy loft tho placo immediately after it, wtthoutcarrying off anything. Tho wounded man survived long enough to glvo an account of the affair, and oroatod a sensation by positively affirming that tho mau who first entered the door, revolver in hand, was E.

F. HUNTER, a wall known and prominent lawyer of Sonora. Nothing could shake him in this belief, and lu his dying declaration he charged Huuter, in direct aud unequivocal terms, with being ouo of the murdorors. Strango to say, Huntor had beon engaged in Borne law business against the Blakesleea, and on the vary night of tbe affair waa in tho vicinity of thoir ranch. As if to give probability to tho tarriblo aocuaatlan, it was reported that the horBt Hunter rode into the mountains re tu mod riderless to Brodlgan's livery atablo, where ha belonged, at an early hour ot the morulng Buoooeding the night of the murder.

To make matters worse for tha limb of tho law, by adding to the likelihood of hie doing such an awful deed. Hunter had already killed ono man and wounded two or throe others In shooting scrapes. For years ho had appeared to court tho reputation of a fighting man, if not a desperado. Now, to bla horror, he found tha notoriety bo eagerly sought aftor a curse and a burden to him. In his dismay, for he was really dreadfully alarmed and wnrriod at the appalling accusation made with suoh distinctness and particularity uy tne uying man, liun tcr would have given worlds tor that well ostabliahod character of peace and qutotnass which stands as a shiuid of safety lu tho hours of trial and danger.

As it was, tho Hon. H. P. Barbjr, the DlBtriot Attorney, ono of the ublsst and most zaalous prosecuting officers in the Stato, was convinced of hia brother attorney's innocence, despite all appearances to tho contrary. Ho had known Hunter many years'and understood his character thoroughly.

They wore bitter political enemies, and more than once got into angry personal alterations during hut cumpalgua and in tha trial of oxoltltig criminal casos. But Barber knew Huntor, rash and reckless as ho wa to bo utterly incapable of a deed like that rt ith whicu he stood charged, and with a manly, generous spirit, meriting all praise, proclaimed his con. vie'lons aud caniostly assisted in bringing to light the guilty parties. ARREST OF ORTZ7.LT JIM. Iu working up the cice and cujiiug about for ovory causs or eircuiustauco which might operate oa tho mind of anybody and bs likely to lead to such a revengeful uct, it waa rocolitcttfd that a brother of Jim Lyons, muie timo boforp, bud trouble with the liiakos leiis about hit ranch.

They li.id got thi he.it ot the lit. igutiou whloh followod and there tho matter cenid to Knowing, howover, tho vindictive temper or Grizziy Jim, who could never rest easy under a Benao of wrong, suspicion immediately fastened upon him ond a watch was set upon his every movsnio t. A warrant was finally sworn out for his arrost, together with a bad character uamod Bob Poor, and a teamster called Wallace, both of whom were knovtn to hava been at Lyons' plaoo about tho time of tho murder. The latter waa a young man of Industrious habits and uever Defore accused of crimo. Zealous and persistant effort woro made by both ladles and gentlemsn to induce Wallace to mako a confession.

Nothing could be expected in this direction from such hardened natures as Lyons and Poor, who treated tha matter with ecornf nl indifference. Notao with thiB young asaoolite, who grew pale and trembled visibly whan informed of tho terrible consequences to himself In the event of either of the othors turning State's evidence. At last ho broke down and mads a full statement of tha tragic occurrence. Caught in bad weather ho had atoppod for tha night with Jim Lyons at his ranoh, where he also met Bob Poor. Lyona, during tho couno of the long Winter ovonlng, got te talking about tbe wrong dono bio brother by the Bakosleee, aud proposed to go thare next night and kill them.

Poor readily seconded this proposition, aud Wallace said he was afraid to refuse to Join in tha atrocious undertaking. Ha hesitated at first, and urged haste in getting away to attend to some important business. But a significant hint from Lyouo and tho dark looks of tho two mon torriflod him ao that he agreed to go with thom and taka part in the bloody work. Early next day thoy mads lhatr preparations and set out for the Blakeslee ranch, hiding in a cava or tuunei near tha place nntll aftar dark. The weather waaverrbad.

Theooratio Government of the Puritan Settlement The Four Pastorates From 1C40 to 1740 Founders of Well Known Families of the Present Day. The town and county histories of the older States form a valuable adjunct to tho genoral history of tho Stato or country. Thoy are miuuto in matters of dotoil and aro apt to bo protty noarly correct.

A satisfactory history of any one of the pldor States of tho Union would not be possible wero it not for tho local and town histories which havo beeu written from time to timo. As mere records of early settlers thoy aro extromoly valuable, while the pictures of life and manners which they repreaont oro exceedingly interesting and instructive. The colleotor of a library upon American history will sadly miss it if ho does not solzo upon ovory local history that comes In his way. A valuable addition to this class of historical literature has recently boon mado by Itav. Epher Whlttaker, D.

pastor of the Firat Churoh of Southold, L. who has published a "History of the Town of Southold, L. The period oovorod by tho book is tha first coutury of tho town, from 1040, when it was founded, to 1740. This period is of course the most interesting portion of the towu's history, and that part which la moat liable to bo lost in mist and obscurity. Mr.

Whittakor'a volume numbers 35i pages of convenient well printed, aud la noteworthy for a very ooroplote and exhaustive index, a thing groatly to be desired iu all books of history. Tho tables of contents aro also Vory full and voluminous, Tho author haa been for thirty years pastor of the First Church of Southold, oud tho preparation of this volumo, ho says, has boon his rest and reoroatlou In many a weary time. Its preparation has beon a labor of lova and caro, and the work has not beon rushed hastily and promaturoly through tho pre with all its imperfections on Its head, but its publication has been carefully ooneiderod aud well thought ovor, Mr. Whlttaker has divided the first ooutury of this old Long Island town the first sottlod on Long Island into four periods or parts, corresponding to the yoara of tho Inoumbency of tho four pastors who, from 1640 to 1740, mlulBtorcd to tho of souls iu Southold. Wo aro not prepared to coy whether this arrangement of a town hiBtory is unlquo or peculiar, but in tho history of a Puritan town it is certainly justifiable.

Kc ligion was the motivo principle which founded theso early town. The church waa the first edifice and the central influence In the town, and the pastor was the chief citizen, deferred to oven by tha magiBtratcB. The early New England towns were in some sort theocracies, and were rulod as noarly in accordance wllh Sorlpture precept and procedent as it was poasiblo to gat. Opinion may bo divided as to whether thia was tho boat form of governmout for an iufant community. Ono thing is oertain that, bard and unlovely as tho Puritan character may havo Iwen iu its geuoral out linoB, thoir theooratio form of govornment was an admirable foundation upon which to build tha superstructure of a liborty loving commonwealth.

This clergyman came to this country from Suffolk County, England, aftor which our own Suffolk County is named.

Ho was a minister at homo and the locality whoro he was established is soraowhat in doubt. Thoro aro two localities in the mother country which hava boon thought to bo tho original locale of tho Southold pastor aud tho ohurch to which ho ministered. One la Southold, iu Hoxno Hundred, aud tho other Southwold, in Blythiug Hundred. Mr. AVhittaker inclines to tho opinion that the latter is tho proper locality.

Indeed, he shows pretty conclusively that the former was uot. Southwold, Suffolk County, lies upon the borders of. the North Boa, and, upon a headland looking out over the oooan, there was erected a church, in 1460, and dedicated to St. Edmund. It waa a chapol attaohed to tho vlcarago of Eoydom, of which tho Itov.

Chrlatophor Youngs was reotor from 1611 to 1620. It is poBSibla that this was tho churoh with which tho Rev. John Youngs was oounooled. It appears that in 1637 he proposed to sail from Yarmouth with hie wlfo and children, and some of his parishioners, but was forbidden to go. Some of his people, howover, onme in the vessel, landing in Massachuwtts Bay, and it was not long after before ho alao appeared thoro, in Salom, whore his people who had prooaded him had located.

Ho may havo soiled by way of Holland. Mr. Youngs did not stay long Hn Salem, although lands were offere'd him and; his oompany, If thoy would remain. It i thought by soma that after tho attempt to sail from Yarmouth ho was pastor of a churoh at Hlugham, and that it was from this congregation that the people came who precodod or followod him to tho Now World. At any rate he ap poarod in New Havon in 1638.

Tho first settlors in Southold appear to have settled in that looality in 1638. Thoy came to tha eastern end of Loiig Island by way of Now Havon, and probably roachod that point through Salom. The first church was organized on the 21t of Ootober, 1640. Tho author holds to the bo iot that tho formation of the Southold ohurch followed a yoar or two aftor the nrBt settlement of tha locality. He points out that it was not the oustom of tho early Now England settlors to purchaso the Indian title before thoy began their settlement.

The settlements were begun first and subsequently, as trade with the Indiana developed, the title was purchasod. There is no roaBou to suppose that a different rulo was followed in wis case. The Indian title was purchased aa early as August, 1640, and oil tho indications are thcrofore that the first settlers bod been on the ground for eome timo. AH tho ovldonoe seems to point to tho fact that Southold precedes by como moutha at loast the settling of Southampton. Naturally tho organization of the town was followod ol06ely by tho organization of the chureh.

Many of tho first Bottlers had been associated apparently with tho Rov. John Youngs In hia chureh in England, and others came from other parts iu the old country. Thus oue of the leading men in the new colony was BARNABAS HORTON, of Mousely, in Leicestershire. He is tho ancestor of tha Horton family iu this oouutry, and our well known clt izon, Mr. T.

K. Horton, tho Fulton Btroet merchant, is hfa lineal descendant. Barnabas Horton beooino a man of subBtanoo and infiuanco in the infant colony of Southold, and diod there, at the rips ago of eighty years, July 13, 1680. A massive Blub of blue slate, imported from Mousoly, Eugland, reats upon the walla which surround his gravo in tho old ohurohyard of Southold. Ho is supposed to hava landed in Southold 'n 1640.

Mr. T. K. Hortou's genoalogy oomes down through Jonathan, James, Barnabas, Bonjamiu (all buried iu Southold), Osborne (buried in Greenwood) and T. K.

Horton, now surviving. The family has widoly extended and thoro ore now many branches, as is recorded iu tho "Horton Geuealogy," by G. Horton, M. D. As tha now settlement was an offshoot of tho Now Havon colony, Southold vary soon affiliated with tho parent colony in oivil Jurisdiction and ecolesloBtioal conneotion, and to Now Haveu tha colonists always lookod as their civil and religious capital.

Tho author Bays that for thirty years ho haB been carefully at work making a Hat of the oarllest settlors, gathering thalr names from tha town rooords, deeds, transfers of property, old tombBtonos, etc. Tha list thus compiled numbers 138 males. Of these not a few subsequently removed to other places and became important aotorB in the settlement of other towns. Among them was Philemon Dlckeraou, the ancestor of the late Daniel S. Dickersou, United States Senator from this State, whose record as a statesman and polltioal leader ia too recent and well known to need comment here.

John Bwezey was the sarlier settlers, and from him was descended Hon. William H. Seward, Govrnor of tho State of New York and Seoretary of State. Tho author tracei the history of a number of these early BOttlors whose descendants have made a noma in tho laud. Ho points out at some length tho motives which prompted tho Battlement upon tha shores of Pe conic Bay.

Briefly, it was tha desire to prootlco their religiouB faith aooordlng to the dlotates of their own consciences tho same principle whloh aotuatod the Pilgrim Fathers of Massachusetts Bay. While they established their religious and polltioal Institutions and guarded tbe freedom in both churoh and commonwealth with prudence, foresight and otroumapectlou, thoy woro equally oareful and busy In promoting their material welfare. They planted thsJr settlement nhera it waa conveniently accessible from tho harbor putting up from tho deep, broad and beautiful Feconlo Bay, and from tha head of the harbor they opened a road running nearly north and south, and at right angloa thoy laid out tha main street of tha village Tho first lot on tha south side of the main Btreet became tbo minister's house homo lot the ono opposite, tho lawyer's. Tha lots of the other settlers were along oaoh ido of tho main street, wherever, it would seem, each maa'alot hnppenod to fall. THB TOWN BEOOBDS.

begin iu 1631, and glva an account of the ownership of various parcels of land in the town, beginning naturally with the minister's lot. The author quotas from these quaint old record), and gives somo idea of the customs and laws of the early settlement. Tho records contain tha laws of tbe town, determining when woods may be fired to improve the pasturage, and what privileges should bo givon for building a mill on tho point of Hallock'i Neok. They show what kind of a ladder each inhabitant must keep to enable him easily and rapidly to reaoh tha top of his thatch ooversd house In caaa ot fire; who should be frea from training, watching and warding; how tha raeorder must keep a permanent record of the levies and payments of tha town; how the constable muat ba paid for gathering tho town's and minister's rates, yoar by year, and how respaot for wealth, rank and other considerations must control tbe action of the committees appointed from tlma to time to seat tha meeting house. This wag dona as lata as 1797, Sabbath breaking was punished by a fine of even and a half bits ot nine ponce each, swearing, one and a half bits, and for the aeoond offense three shillings.

This sliding scale mad ona offender's fine eight shillings and so on. In thoso days a barrel of pork was valued at throe pounds tan shillings, a barrel of boot at two pounds Ave shillings, a bushel of Summer wheat at four shillings and sixpence and a bushel of peas at three aud six. They had to spend money and tlma for proteotion to defend themselves, ospoolally during tha wars between the Dutch and English. Every man between tbe ages of IC and SO waa raquirad to have a good, serviceable gun, always fit lor uo, with. aword and a good supply of ammunition.

It waa tha duty of the ohlaf military officer of tha town to aea that every man was well fnraUhM with, KBW, and traiasjd, at lut sis UiBU Brooklyn as a Great Commercial Port. The Ambrose Dry Docks What Enterprise and Capital are Doing BaHdlng np a Section of the City by Giving Employment to Hundreds of Mon and adding Revenue to tho Treasury. Brooklyn Already Surpassing New York in Its Mercantile Accommodations A Few Significant Facts. Brooklyn is not only destined to become ono of tho most important coinmorcial confers of the Uniled States, but has already achieved a proud position among tho groat morcautilo cities of this continent. Tho reason for this lios in the fact that tho city poBBOBses a magnlflcaut water front, rarely equaled uud no where surpassed ou the Atlantic seaboard.

Along its wharves vessols ranging iu Blzo from tbe little fruit coaBtlng craft which makes its tripe to tho Wost Indies to the stately and ninjestio merchantman with its towering masts and ahopoly bows, bringing its woalth of freight from Europe, Auatraila and South America, may bo seen a fitting tributo to the oxcolionco of Its shipping accommodations. Horo at our doors aro tho products of two continents and tho time le coming whon Brooklyn's reputation will not ret alone on its famo ae a City of Churches, homoe, distinguished divinos, fluo parks, seaside resorts, excellent water facilltios, culture of its inhabitants and general convenience, but ou its prominent advsntagos oa a coninierclnl port. With a river front of tweuty flvo miles, including pior linos and a system of warehousing which represents of capital, some idea of tho great possibilities of the future may bo inferred. Hut aside from this it may not be widely known that Brooklyn during tho poat two years has accommodated moro vessols than Now York, which assor tion ia confirmed by the last report of tho United States consuB. According to tho figures furnished by that aource In 1S30, thero were 0,282 vosaela lying at the Brooklyn wharves, while New York City had only or loss than this city.

In 1881, New York tried to regain its commercial prestige, but again Brooklyn surpassed tbe great metropolis, by accommodating 8,000 veasola to 6,000 of tho Sister city, still excelling Now York by 2,000 vobboIs. It should be remembered, however, that tho water front which may bo Boon ou tho great ferries which ply from this olty to the one acroBS tho river, iB not alouo in the immense transaotion of busiuoeo, but that Gowauus and tho Wallabout canals havo Bix bridges, which turnod 25,000 times last year to permit 18,000 boats with 2,600,000 tons of freight to pass. In these flguroB alone is material for oouteuiplation, both for merchant aud capitalist, aud tho class which contributes to the onterpriso, wealth, progress and stability of a commuuity is not alow in reoogulziug tho opportunities proBeuted. Already a rogion which only a ehort timo ago was as quiet in its rotiroment as a Shaker settlement is teeming with life and exhibiting an activity and a vitality that ia simply oBtouisbing and amazing. Lot tho reoder of tha EAOI.E, If he is doslroUB of witnessing tho rapid strides in tho commercial prosperity of the city, take elthorJtho Court street or Third avoiue car, rids down to Third avouue and Twonty flfth street, walk one block to Twouty Bixth street, and then turn down toward the river.

Lot him keep hia eyos wide open, aud iu a half mile walk he will see a scries of WHARVES, DBT DOCKS, SLIPS AMD PIF.RB, which now pay a valuab rovenue to the olty, and which only a few months since were not in existence. Like some of tho fnMert riches of Aladdin's lamp they havo sprung into being almost within a night, but, un like tho unsubstantial and transitory charaotcr of that illuminating power, tho best proof of their permanence 18 in their contributions to the ooffors of the city. About two years ago a party of capitalists, consisting of two Now Yorkers imd ono Drooklynito, having unlimited faith lu tho commercial advantages and resources of tho city, visitod thia section, aud aftor oxaminiug it thoroughly decided on organizing a company, as Boon as the purchase of the lands aud wator front oould bo consummated. Tho gontlomon who wore intorestod in tho enterprise, j. W.

Ambrose and Robert J. Mills, of New York, and Dr. D. Ambrose, of this city, with commoudablo forethought and an appreciation of tho bouofita that would aocruo to Brooklyn by tho utilization of tho wator front, did uot wusto auy time, Negotiations wore ontered into at ouco for thu purohaae of twenty seven aeros of land, running from tho central line of Twenty sixth to Tweuty oightu attoet, aud oxtonding from tho vicinity of Third avoiiuo to the channel lino of Gowanus Bay, or comprising a territory of laud aud wator about 2,600 foet in length. Tho street from Third avonne waa paved and flagged at private expense, and a roadway, which now constitutes a fine drive of a half milo in extent along tho river front.

enableB tho visitor to obtain, oven at glauco, some idea of tho vastnesa of the under toking. Tho objeot of the purchase was tho organization of a company which should be ontirely dovoted to commerolol purposes. The geueral rlan or echoms oi tho corporation embraced tho establishment of dry docks, piers, a sorios of warehouses and, indeed, such other improvements aa tho enterprise would from time to timo develop. In short, it was the practical resoue by capital of what had hitherto been only a vaBt expanse of wator aud ewamp. and its subordination to tho spirit of progress.

SInco that time ono holf of the property, including that part between Twenty sixth aud Twenty seventh streets, or a little over two hundred lots, by making deep wator, Bluking cribs aud building land behind thom, has beeu improved. Thero is Biifllcient water to allow vessels to come in and out, and the cribs have been sunk to a distance or depth sufflciont to float tbe largest vossoli that como to this port, thus anticipating by a year or two the dredging of tho channel by the United StatoB Government, which is now iu progress under tho supervision of tho distinguished engineer Gonoral John Nowtou, and which, when completed, will bo a work of Incalculable importance to tha interests of tho city at lare. Hut continuing tho march of improvement tho company built from tho bulkhead lino to tho oxterual or pior lino, a distance of about 700 feet, two pile piors, between whloh were placed two immense Bootional dry docks. Thoae docks aro capable ot lifting tho heaviest Blitps, and have all the appliances known to modern shipbuilding. Sinco their construction they havo been tn conBtant use.

Tho advantages accruing from tho Bituatiou of the docks aro, thoir central location, abundant Bpace, immunity from tho depredations of river thiovep, freedom from tho commercial annoyancos of low tides, aud their constant employ moutof largo numbers of meu who havo came from Now York and other citiea to resido permanently in Brooklyn, and thus contribute to the bono and the Biuew of itB working community. From trustworthy Bourcea It is estimated that, owlugto tho Influx of popu lition by reason of this great coinmorcial improvement of the city, OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS Is distributed annunily, whilo small houses in tho vicin ity of tho ship yards aro iu tho greatest domand by the families of mschanica who have oomo to stay, and who oonBtltuto a little aettlemout of thoir own. Oue of the many interesting features in connection with tho im provomont of thio property is tho eight great tubular wells, locatod at a depth of about six feel, and wnlch furnish a supply of fresh, doliolous water, limited only by tho capacity of the pipoa Bunk. From this source 20,000 gallons of water are obtained, and tho supply can bo increased almost indoflnltoly. It is distributed iu elx ineh pipes over a groat part of the property, and through these aro numerous tapa aud nozzlos, ready at any time to be brought into requisition, either for goneral use or in oasa of fire or other emergencies.

Tho water haB been analyzed and found to bo free from any substances deleterious either for drinking purposes or boiler uso. On tho piers and slips running away out into the water and invit ing, aa it wore, tho merchantmen of distant shores to oomo into a safe and convoniont harbor is a little vii lago of store houses, blacksmith shops, offices and other bulldlngi. Probnbly the most attractive of those is tho olegant offlco occupiod as the business headquarters ou tho dock, which Is built on pile foundations in ordor to make it as substantial in oonatruotion as possible. In imitation of corrugated iron, and both finished and furnished in hard wooda, it marks a happy combination of commerco and art. From tho balcony of the aooond Btory a blrdseye view of the active, busy Bceno below and tbe superb water front Is presented, while a perfect forest of masts rises up toward tho aky, emblomatioal in its upward tendency of Brooklyn's commeroial future.

Along tho 4,000 foet of rivor front may Been tho Winter quarters of numerous yaohts, excursion boats and Btoamers. James Gordon Bennett's famous yaoht Dauntless, the Tidal Wavo, Eolus, Pocahontas (built to compete with the Canadian yacht Atalanta) and othor BWift sailing craft nestle aide by side, and are a marvel of American yacht building. Only a short dlstanos further off are a number of vessels used lu the North River froight trade, ono of tho Old Dominion Hue of steamers aud several vsbeois whloh have either been on the dry docks or are awaiting their turn for repairing to be done. Over toward tho extreme river front tho Iron Steamboat Company has leased for five years about 700 feet of tho dock, which is to bo occupied as a dopot for its boats In Winter, as a storage placo at nights fa Summer, owiug to the inadequacy of accommodations in New York for that pnrposo, aa a ooallng bunlc and to take In wafer for tho boilers from the oapaclous water works already described. Tho superintendent of the oompany, Captain O.

H. Longstroet, a veteran steamboat man whose name is literally as familiar to ol Brooklynites and Now Yorkers as household words, haB hia office on tho dook, thus bringing to this city In fact at least $100,000 to be distributed, owing to the euiploy mout given by the company to representatives of many famfiTos living in the vicinity. The seven great boats of the line, named after tho constellations by Rufus Hatch, of New York, and beginning with Taurus "Tho Bull," a gentle reminder of tho animals which aro supposed to frequent Wall street, in midday, attract the oyo of the visitor by the grace and symmetry of their proportions. Looking IN ANOTHKB DIRECTION may bo seen tho dredging machines busily at work In Gowanus Bay lifting up huge buckets full of mud and constructing a ohannel whloh will enable the largest European ocean steamers to avail themselves of Brooklyn'! commeroial advantages. The bay la being dredged to a dopth of 19 foet at low water, or 24 feet at high water, tht contraot having: been awarded to J.

W. Ambrose Company, who wera tho highest bidders. It will cost about $150,000 when eompleUa. The block of aalmproved property south of that whloh Is now oosupied by Messrs. Ambrose Company will be improved In a thoroughly substantial manner, as soon as proper legislation is obtained for tha removal of the ewer whloh now discharges Into Twenty eighth, street, but whloh was originally intended to and should have been carried into Forty second, atraei.

The Intention Is to ereot warehouses (or tho storing ol grain, ootton, tobasoa and tuoh other merchandise as may ba brought to this port, and the managers of tha enterprise confidently look forward to a day and that not a distant one when that pari of tha olty will ooonplod by immense baildinga elmtUr bMtK piers, thus making tho neighborhood at night almost as bright as day. Mention has been mado of the dry docks In a oursory manner, but a visit to them is far moro interesting. To eo an immonso vessel float in whoro apparently there is nothing but water, and wntch tho mathematical nicety with which it is placed directly in tho center of the dock the Bllghlost varlatlou hav ing an important bearing on its position is ono of tha moBt ploaaing of spectacles. To note the closing ot tuo gates and the pumping of tho wator from tho ooiBBono by dogreos, through tho aid of powerful engines, uutil the vessel is lifted high and dry out of water, in only an hour's tlma, gives one an opportunity of Judging of tho solonce oonnooted with the building and repairing of a ship. On the day when tho.ropreseutative of the Kaglb visited tho dock ho saw the finiehlng touches to a merchantman of 1,500 tona burden, and realized the beauty of Longfellow's description And soon throughout the shipyard's bounds ero heard tho iutormiugled sounds Of axoB and of mallets, pliod With vigorous arms on every side.

A few miles beyond Campbell Livingston's mill, and two miles from Brown's station, it struck the reBidenco of Mr. John McCarthy, a well to do farmer, whioh it completely domollshed. Mr. McCarthy's family consisted of himaelf and wife and Miss Talbot, his wife's Bister. Hearing tha storm coming, Mr.

McCarthy hastily arose from bod, and told his wifo that they mnat get out of the house. But before thoy could do so tho house was blown away, and he and hia wife fortunately foil whoro the floor between the hall and their room separated, thus being lu a measure protected by tne sillB and a portion of tho floor. Oue of the sills was blown scrota Mr. McCarthy, also acrosB Mrs. XlcCartliy's feot.but she managed to disengage her feet and thou roll the siil from her husband mid assist him to crawl under tho floor, so as lo partially protect him from tbo severe bail that was thuu falling.

Going iu tho direction from which tho answer came, she found her in a hole whore a largo oak had boou blowu from, up to her arm pits in water. She succeeded in getting her out of tho hole of water, aud draggid her under tho floor where Mr. McCarthy was sheltered.

A Mall Carrier's Itaco tar Life Over Idaho mountains.

Wood Itlvor (Idaho) Gazotte.) Thursday afternoon Goorge Henningnouse, a short, thick German, who is omployed to carry tha mall between Bullion and Hailoy at suoh tlmos as tho road Is Irapassablo tor teams, loft Hailey with a Book of mail weighing about soventy pounds for Hulllou Camp, which Is bovou mllea almost duo wost from this city. As Henniaghoueo started down Bullion street toward the river, mounted on suowshoos and tho sack of mall swuug over his shoulder, ho remarked "A heavy Bitowstorm is anproacklug, and I must make haBta or I'll lose the way." The course taken from Hailey to Bullion by Bnoivahoes is over the mountain, and tho well worn trail is easily followod, except during or just after a storm, when fresh enow obliterates tho tracks mado by tne Bhooi. Honuinghouso had gona as far as tho road which turns off to fbe Warm Springs, about two rnlies, whon a blinding storm Bet in, blowing almost a galo. All Blsn of tho road and trail was soon obliterated, aud as tho outlines of the mountains were not distinguishable through tho de acending buow and sleet, Henuiughoiiso was forced to go cousidorpbly by guess. Miscalculating tbe distance ever whioh he hod traversed, he turned off tho road too soon, ascended the blonk, wild mountains to the north, aud must have followed tho precise course of tho unfortuuate Allen, who perished on a similar trip a fow weohs ago.

Upon reachiug tho highest point no familiar landmark met his vision, and, cot daring to dosceml without being sura of tho way, ho wandered about for hours in search of some clow to bis whereabouts. Night sot iu cold and dreary, and as ho was about to give up from exhaustion and lay down to reBt tho dismal howl of a wolf wab borne to his ear. Boused by this ominous sound, fear lout ctrongth to his weak muscles, and ho started along tho ridge he knew uot whithor. Soon othor wolves wero heard, aud from tho dlBtluctnoas of tha sounds ho know they must havo scented him and wero ou his trail. Now thoroughly awakened to a souso of dangor, ho hurried forward, wildly peering out In the darkness, hoping to boo tho friendly light of some raucher'a or miner's cabin.

Nenrer cauio his pursuers, and, aa no light appeared, tuo howling, snarling fieude upon hia traok Beemed to bo sounding his death knoll. Soon ho could hear their loud breathing and the pat, pat, pat of thoir many feet as thov camo awiftly ovor tho frozen snow. With hia oyoa staring wildly Into the great blank beforo him, aud the nerspiration Issuing from ovory poro llko rain, ho hastened forward. At last he folt instinctively that the gauio waa up, that hia pursuers wero upon hini, aud as ha was about to halt and faco them a wolf sprang upon tho heol of his snow shoes aud threw him. Iu his great fright he had not thought of dropping his heavy burden of mail, but as ho fell It was hurled mauy yardB away, and immediately Bet upon by tho tamishiug wolves.

Taking advantage of tha mo mout, Henuiughoiiso etruok alight, and, drawiug some papers from his pocket, sot firo to thom, and tho glara of tho flames frightened tha wolves. This gave him time to mount his shoes, and, turning them down the steep mountain sido, ho flow forward with the speed of tho wind, knowing nothing of tho course before him, whether it lod to aafuty or over a prcolpico hundreds of foot lu dopth. An angry snarl told htm that tho animals were ugain upon his track. In about twenty seconds ho placed half a mile between himself and pur Buers, and as he rode out ill the valley he beheld a light only a short distanoo ahoad. Screaming for help, he pushed on, aud was soon met by the iumatos of Virgil Lamb's cabin.

As they came up to him ho faiuted from exhaustion, and was carried in aud carod for by Mr. and Mrs. Lamb. Two wolves camo cloie to tho cabin, but after a few howls they retraced their steps and dis appoarod iu the darkness.

TABLE ETIQUETTE, Somo Valuable Sug gestions aa to the Uso of the Napkin anil Finger BOWl. Bill Kyo's Booneransf. Tt has been stated and very truly too, that the law of the napkin Is but vaguely understood. It may be said, howover, on the start that good breading has uttered tho deeres that it ii iu poor taste to put the napkin in tho pockst and carry it away.

Tho rule of etiquette Is beoomlug more and mora thoroughly established, that the napkin should bo loft at the house of the host or hostess after dinner. There bas been a good deal of discussion, also, upon the matter of folding the napkin after dinner, and whether it should be so disposed of or negligently tossed into tho gravjboat. If, however, it oan ba folded easily, and without attracting too much attention and prolonging the session several hours, it should be so arranged aud placed beside tho plate, where it may be eaaily fouud by tho hostess, and returned to her neighbor from whom she borrowed it for tha occasion. If, however, the lady of the house is not doing her own work, tha napkin may be carefully jammed into a globular wad and fired under the table, to convey the idea of utter rooklessneis and pampered abaudou. The uso of tho fiuger bowl is also a subject of muoh importance to the lion foil guost who gorges himself at the expense of his friends.

Tha oustom of drinking out of the fingor bowl, though not entirely obsolete, has been limited to tho extent that good breeding does not now ptruiit tho guest to quaff the water from his finger bowl unless he doeB so prior to using it as a fiuger bowl. Thus, it will bs soon ttjat sqcjal oushjmi are slowly but suroly cutting down and elrcumscribtug fua lights and privileges of the masses. At tho eourt of Eugenie the customs of the table were very rigid, and the most prominent guest of H. R. H.

was liable to get tho G. B. if he sproad bis napkin on his lap and cut his ogg iu two with a carving knife. Tho oustom was that the napkin should bo hung on one krido aud tbe egg busted at the big end aud scooped out with a Bpoon. A prominent Amerloan at his table one day, In an unguarded moment shattered the shell of a soft boiled ogg with his kulfe, and while prying it apart, both thumbs 'were erroneously jammed into tho true inwardness of the fruit with so much momentum that tho juice took him in the oye, thus blinding him and maddening him to suoh a degrea that he got up and throw the remnants into the bosom of the hirad man plenipotentiary, who stood near the table, Boratohing his ear wish a tray.

As may readily be euppoied, there was a painful interim, during which it waa hard to tall for five or six minutes whether the prominent American or tha hired man would come out on top, but at last tho Amerloan with tho egg in his oye got the oar of the high priced hired man in among hie back teeth, and tho honor of our beloved flag waa vindicated.

It is strsnge that a woman oan lovo two men just tho same, but I do, all the same. Dick, you are a man of influence. It Is said that you can kivor more corn with a hoo In a day than any man in tho neighborhood. Thia is a poworful advertising card, I must admit.

Mr. Hemy WattorBou writes iu tho April Cenlury upon tho Oddities of Southern Life," introducing tho subject follows: Every people is known by its jokee. Mon aro leaat reatrained ill thoir mirth, and give therein tho largeBt play to their HkeB and dislikes. The humor of Harry Fielding, Thackeray tells us, is wonderfully wise and detoctivo; It flashes upon a rogue and lightens up a rasoal llko a policeman's lantern. The saiuo may be said of the humor of Rabelais, though tho objects of its ridioule are uot always cheats aud scamps.

Tho difference betwoen opera bouffo aud Anglo Saxon farco represents tho difference betweon the llfo of tho French and tho life of the English. With tbo Amoncana it is not the snub and the husband who aro satirized our domestio Jocosity embraces chiofly tho small boy, tho widow aud tho mother in law, reserving for its most palpable hlta tho bully, tha visionary speculator, the gamester aud the oouimerclal agent. Thus American humor may be divided into two classes that whioh relates to fighting aud that which rolatas to mouev. Iu the South this goneral classification grows still narrower, gaining, howevor, in whimsicality and local oolor what It lacks iu breadth. Thero can bo no mistaking tho origin of the old story of the travoler who asked a Miselssippiau whether It was worth his while to carry a pistol, and was told "Woil, stranger, you mout movo around hero niore'n year an' never ueed a pistol, but of you should happen to neod ono, you'd need it poworful."
