THE MORRILL TWLS. 4
"No boy or man," said the Doctor,
"accomplishes so much in life as the
ono with the bull-dog jaw and set pur
pose in short, the quality of holding
on.
it
"N-no," hesitated the Colonel. "And
yet, the success of these strong-willed,
obstinate fellows depends altogether on
the track on which they run. They go
down hill just as they go up. Did I
ever tell you about James Morrill?"
" Probably not. I don't recall the
name.1'
"Well, he was a classmate of mine
when I went to a distant school, up in
the mountains in Vermont.
" There were two of the Morrill boys
twins James and Jack. Red-headed,
ugly fellows, so much alike that
their mother scarcely knew them apart.
But Jack was an easy, good-tempered,
noisy boy, while James was silent, slow,
and almost as sure as death itself.
"James had few ideas, and as few
friends, but he held to them both with
a tenacity which I never saw equaled.
" One day, Mr. Ruddiman, the teach
er, accused James Morrill of some mis
chief I have forgotten what the break
ing of a window, I think. Jim denied
it; and the Doctor, to punish him for ly
ing, whipped him severely.
" Teachers are mortal, and the Doc
tor was mistaken. Jim, as it turned
out afterwards, was innocent. He
bore the thrashing without a word.
When it was over, he stood up before
theDoctor,paleas acorpse. The Doctor
was a big, burly man, and Jim a little
fellow of 10.
" I'll pay you for- every blow,1 he
said, 'if 1 have to wait for 50 years todo
it! I never was struck before, and I
never will be again ! '
" Ha walked out of the school, and
never came back. The Morrills, soon
after that, moved to Boston, and James
a few years later, went with his uncle to
China.
"He was employed in an English
house in Foochow as tea-taster, and did
not return to the States until he was a
man of 35, with a grizzled beard, and
strong as Hercules.
" I suppose that the comparative sol
itude in which he had always lived for
there were bat few Englishmen, and no
women, then, im Foochow had given
morbid strength to the feelings and
prejudices of fis childhood.
" He came home purposely to see his
brother-John.for whom he had that
'strange attaphioamt-Wkich often, exists
golden eagle; but the priest said "nay,"
with kindly smiles for penitent sorrow;
x'ou must find the person from whom y
between twins. John bad gone to New
Mexico, on some wild exploring expedi
tionfor the vagabond blood was strong
in him yet but he should have returned
in Jane, and this was in August.
" 'He will be in New York by the time
return,1 said James, 'in the mean
time, I have a little business to attend
to in Vermont. Old Ruddiman, I hear,
is still living.1
" I looked at him in astonishment.
" Morrill,1 1 said, you surely do not,
after half a lifetime, bear a grudge for
that childish squabble.1
" 'He was no child ! He was a man !
He struck me unjustly. There is not a
day in which those blows have not
burned into my flesh! I am a man, like
himself, now, and 111 give him blow for
blow!1
" I also had business in Vermont, and
I went with him, hoping to interfere, if
possible. But the sense of injury had
rankled so long in his brain that it
amounted to insanity.
" He was a genial, kind-hearted fel
low, except when Ruddiman's name was
mentioned. Then he would grow gloomy
and silent.
" His long absence from a civilized
country made him ready to note all that
happened about him. He took, too, the
keenest interest in every child and
woman that entered the cars, and was
always ready to help them in any way
he could.
" At a station among the hills, a lit
tle girl came into the cars, leading a
feeble old man. Morrill sprang to help
them to a seat, and then he came back
for his vali3e.
"He's blind!1 he said. Must think
of it! to live in your own country, and
not be able to see it! The old fellow is
poor, too, I'm afraid. I'll go and sit
with him.1
" He sat by the old man at intervals
during the whole day, helping him off
and on the train when we stopped for
meals, and, I fancy, paying for sumptu
ous repasts, to which his companions
had long been strangers.
" Once he came back to me.
"A fine old gentleman,1 he said.
Singularly intelligent. And thero's
something very reverend in his simple
piety and goodness. If you had lived
among heathens for 30 years, you'd ap
preciate it.1
" At sunset, we reached C , and
Morrill assisted the feeble blind man to
descend from the platform.
" This is my home,1 said he. 'Do
you stop here?'1
" 'Yes,1 stammered Morrill. 'I have
business in C .'
" You will come to my house, then,
when it is finished?' said the old man.
You have been very kind to me. I feel
sure that we shall be friends. My name
is Ruddiman.'
" Morrill's face grew first pale, then
scarlet. He shook hands without a
word. When we had gone down the
street, he laughed aloud, like a woman
in hysterics. But when I smiled, he
turned on me fiercely.
" 'Stop!' he said. 'I'm a fool, but I
know it! I know it!1
" He proved a good friend to the old
teacher, whose lite became more com
fortable after that. Morrill was a gen
erous fellow, had plenty cf money, and
I think felt that he ought to make
amends for every blow that he had not
given.
" One instance more of his dogged
persistence :
" I left him in Providence, on his way
to New York to meet his brother. A few
days later, I received a letter from a
friend, in which he stated that the ex
ploring party had been attacked on the
Plains by Indians, and all but three had
been murdered.
" The next week I went down to New
York, and hunted up Morrill. He was
very pale and quiet, but had made prep
arations for a journey across the Plains.
This was before the days of Pacific rail
roads, and the journey would be one of
months, and must be made in a wagon
train.
" 'John, they tell me, was murdered.
They buried him there. I am going to
bring him home.1
11 Bring him home ? Impossible ! '
" 'I must see John, dead or alive. Do
you think I would leave him there for
the cayotes and savages to dig out of
the ground?1
" He went. The men who had re
turned gave him accurate directions as
to where their slaughtered comrades
were buried.
" 'But there were twenty of them,1 1
remonstrated. How can you tell which
is John's grave? It is unmarked.1
" 'I shall dig them up until I find
him,1 he said, with compressed lips.
" And he did it. I am stating a fact,
and one that always seemed to me ter
ribly pathetic. The man journeyed for
months before he found, on a boundless
sage-plain, the heaps of earth over the
murdered travelers.
"Then, alone for his companions
would not aid him he uncovered every
grave, looking for his brother, and cov
ered them reverently again.
" John was not there.
" One or two of the bodies had al
ready been torn up by the cayotes, and
his, it was supposed, was one of them.
" James Morrill returned to the States,
and prepared to go back to China,
to remain there the rest of his life.
" The day before he was to sail, I was
walking with him on Broadway, when
his brother John met us, face to face.
" James stood looking at him in blank
amazement, with stirring eyes and open
mouth. Then he laid his hands on his
shoulders.
" You are a fraud,1 he said, quietly.
You ought to be dead. I've been dig
ging for you for months.1 Then the
tears came to his eyes, he choked, as if
he had swallowed something, and was
silent.
" The two men walked away together
as calmly as if they had parted but yes
terday, instead of thirty years before.
"But they did not separate again.
They went together to China, and are,
most likely, still wandering through the
world in each other's eomrjanv "
company.
Youth's Companion.
An English gentleman traveled over
a railroad line where the fare was 7d,
but not having a ticket before entering
the cars, the company undertook to
charge him 8d., reckoning the distance
from the terminal station, from which
he had not started. The company sued
for the Id., and was beaten in all the
courts. The Court of Appeal ruled that
the company might insist on a passen
ger paying for his ticket before carrying
him, or, if he was given credit, could
insist on his paying such fare as they
demanded, but only for the distance ac
tually traveled.

Reaarkable PevelepascHts at a Salt
Well la Western Sew York.
The Vacuum Oil Company of this
city, says the Rochester Democrat, has
for come time past been engaged in
sinking a salt well at Le Roy, and the
enterprise has been watched with no
little curious interest. There were no
verv decided results, however, until yes
terday afternoon, but the demonstration
was lively enough then, and for a few
moments the frightened workmen were
under the impression that their drill
had pierced the infernal regions. Short
ly after 12 o'clock the depih of 4'0 feet
was reached when gas appeared in mod
erate quantities, but gradually the sup
ply increased, and at 2 o'clock it came
out with such a rush that it was ignited
by the fire in a coal stove, 10 feet dis
tant from the mouth of the well. The
house in which the men were working
was instantly filled with flames and they
barely escaped with their lives. In a
few seconds the woodwork caught tire
and the destruction of the entire derrick
seemed inevitable, but the gas was fol
lowed by a rush of water which rose to a
height of 50 feet in the
air, quickly extinguishing the
flames. Then followed alternate
floods of gas and jets of water, each one
holding its own for about a minute and
a half before it gave way to the other.
The water had a strong sulphuric taste
at first, with a slight appearance of salt,
and as the supply of gas commenced to
diminish the flow of water increased.
By degrees the water became less sul
phurous and more thickly impregnated
with salt, until at half-past 5 o'clock it
was a strong brine, spouting to a height
of 70 feet. Steadily increasing at half
past 7 o'clock, it reached an altitude of
110 feet which it held. The bore of the
well is eight inches, and the casing tak
ing up about an inch leaves an opening
of seven inches in diameter from which
the solid stream is thrown high in the
air. At the latest reports last night the
field in which the well is located was
flooded with brine and jet there was no
indication of a cessation of the deluge.
What the result will be, of course, no
one at present can tell. Perhap3 salt
will be found, and if not maybe the gas
can be utilized for lighting and heating
purposes.

Massacre of a
Missionary
Africa.
Party in
The Abbe Debaize, sent out by the
French Government, was, when last
heard of, on the way from Unyanyembe
to Ujiji. He is an energetic man and a
quick traveler. It is reported that be
fore reaching Unyanyembe he came
into collision with some men of an
Unyambezi Chief, a relation and rival
of the present Unvambezi Sultan of
Unyanyembe, much given to highway
robbery. be Abbe found with these
men ten tusks of ivory which they had
plundered from an Arab caravan, and
were spying out his position in order to
bring down a gang of robbers upon
him. This ended in the Abbe killing
the men and taking the ivory to Unyan
yembe. After thi3 a party of the Church
Missionary Society apparently under
Mr. Stokes came up, but having dis
covered that the Chief Myungu was
plundering, they took the road by Ituvu,
and thereby avoided him. Another
church missionary party, seemingly
under Mr. Penrose, fell into his hands,
and was attacked near a lake or pool of
water, where the trees gave cover to
the enemy. Mr. Penrose was killed,
also sixty-two of his men, chiefly Unyan
wezi porters, but including ten Zanzi
barians. Mr. Penrose is said to have
fought bravely, holding the robbers in
check so long as his cartridges lasted,
killing sixteen with his own hand before
he fell. Every thing was lost; and a
few days after the empty packing cases
lay on the ground, and sixty-three dead
bodies were counted, including that of
a white man, supposed to be Mr.
Penrose.
Services of the Late YIcar-Geaeral
KuftigDariag a Cholera Epidemic
Of the Christian fortitude and brav
ery of the late Vicar-General Kundig,
who died in Milwaukee recently, a
former resident of Detroit presents
this illustration : " In August, 1834, the
cholera burst upon Detroit with a fe
rocity and slaughter that it never ex
hibited elsewhere; when, in 60 days, it
swept away 10 per cent, of our people;
when it crept up and down our river,
along our docks, catting down all ages,
sexes and conditions; when it mounted
the decks and shrouds of our vessels,
and nen fell as if struck by lightning;
when at early dawn the old French
carts could be seen in line, like the com
missariat at the grand army marshaled
by Sextos Noble, stretching away to the
old seminary,"a fearful line of festering
corpses; when all men, no matter how
brave, seemed appalled; when he had tetl no cow. 0 ,..:". ,,. w..,-, , ,, . ,

Sage Virgin.
In a review of a recent publication,
the New York Lun critic incidentally
recalls the story of the three Misses
Caton, of Maryland:
Since their names and striking for
tunes have passed into histor, we may
recall with profit, and doubtless without
reproach, some incidents of the tale. Of
course, most people havo heard of the
felicities which befel the Misses Caton
in England, but few know what slender
portions they carry to their fniuro lords.
(Jood looks (by no means superlative,
however) they had, and they unques
tionably were granddaughters of Charles
Carroll, of Carrollton. Of accomplish
ments or culture of any high order they
could not boast, and as to their estate,
veal or personal when the husband of
ono of them bestirred himself, rather
late in the day, to institute some cau
tious inquiries, that sardonic old gen
tleman, their grandfather, could not re
member any, present or prospective.
Neither had they powerful connections,
well placed about the court, or indeed
any facilities beyond a few letters of in
troduction supplied by an English ac
quaintance residing in the States. A
modest outfit this, and yet these sage
virgins so trimmed their lamps and
wove their nets so cunningly that po
tentates no less high and mighty than a
Duke of Leeds, a Marquis of Vellesley
and another scarcely leas conspicuous,
fell prompt and unresisting victims. It
was the future Marchioness, they say,
who unlocked for her sisters the door of
opulence and pomp, and a pleasant
story is related of her first introduction
to the noble Lord, some details
of which those of our fair
readers contemplating the conquest of
the British Islands may do well to in
wardly digest. It seem? Miss Caton
was staying at a country houso when
the Marquis arrived, and soon thereaf
ter, yielding to a natural curiosity, the
young lady ascertained from an obedi
ent abigail the precise whereabouts at a
given moment of the distinguished guest.
Bv an odd coincidence, some minutes
later, Lord Wellesley, who happened to
be in the library intent upon a newspa
per, was considerably perplexed and de
lighted to find two soft arms about his
neck, two velvet lips upon his cheek,
and his ears saluted in delicious accents
by the words, "My dear, dear grand
father!" Now, as a matter of fact, his
own courtly features bore small resem
blance to the wrinkled visaire of the
master of Carrollton ; moreover, the ti
tle of grandsire is not grateful to un
married men of a certain age ; but the
soul of the Marquis was too lofty and
generous for sucn considerations ; be
sides, he had no time, for the piteous
confusion into which the damsel fell on
detecting her error, and which indeed
seemed likely to deprive her of her rea
son, must have melted a heart of stone.
When, with much pains and tender so
licitude, ho had succeeded in calming
her agitation, and she, still bathed in
blushes, tripped lightly from the room,
the pulses of the gallant veteran beat a
reveilleto which his blood had been long
a stranger. Here, certes, was the one
maid in all wide Britain whose artlcs3
innocence and simple faith might be
trusted to love him for himself alone.
A Saw-Hill Speculation.
A gentleman named David Barnes, of
Loveland, Col., heard of tho great scar
city of lumber and the plentiful supply
of logs in this camp, and having an eye
to bnsiness he purchased a sav-mill for
1,600 and started for Leadville. At
every station along the route he heard
well authenticated reports of the rapid
rise in lumber, each furnishing a new
incentive to hurry his team.
Mr. Barnes and his saw-mill headed
into Chestnut Street yesterday after
noon, when he learned that lumber was
in demand at 360 per thousand, and at
that price none to be had in the market.
He ordered his team to halt while he
made some inquiries about location, etc ,
and when he returned to issue march
ing orders he found a party waiting to
see the man that owned that mill."
Is this your mill, sir?" said one of
the party.
"Yes sir."
" Going to use it yourself?"
"That's the calculation."
" What does such a mill cost?"
"Paid $1,600 for it."
"Want to sell it?"
"Don't care."
Well, whatUl you take for it?"
"I'll take $2,600."
"Reckon you didn't come np for
your health?"
"No, ir; come op to saw lumber.
Drive on, boys."
"Just hold on a minute," said the
purchaser; " friend, if you will step
oyer to the bank 1,11 give yon a check
for the money."
Marching orders were countermanded
bv Mr. Barnes, and in rive minutes he
pocketed his $2,CQ0, making a coal thou
sandon hi3 speculation, and L now on
his way to Denver for another mill.
