grocs from Arkansas, who havo re
turned from Liberia, whither they
went as colonists soma months ago.
Of nenrly a hundred companions In
tho expedition, some nro said to havo
died of starvation, and others lire
eking out a wretched existence In
Africa. Tho three men are farmers of
JelTerson county, Arkansas. Prank
Hlie.lton, ono of the men, has a wifo
nntl four children there. J. It. Tucker,
another, hns a family, and Kbenozcr
Russell, the third, Is unmarried.
They wiy tho International Migra

offered twenty-flvo ncres of land to
every colonist, and used as Indorse
ment the namo of llishop II. M. Tur

Do tho freckles provo stubborn? There
is tumally a clamor for "frocklo cures"
about this timo of tlio year, und tho
very best thing that proves reliable year
after year is simply common buttermilk.
Secure it as fresh an passible It will bo
found that nothing cuu equal this fresh
buttermilk for removing tun, freckles,
sunburn or moth spots. It lias tho grout
advantago that it does not injure tlio
skin, but makes it soft and white. Tnko

Then wipe off tho drops lightly. In tho

off tho tun and freckles and keep tho

Galveston Streets.
Tho streets of Galveston aro not moro

but in Galveston thoy namo some of
tho streets with half lottcrs. This pro
duces 'such mi astonishing system that
ouo roads on tho carts that milk can bo
had on P-aud-a-half street and eggs aro
for snlo between N nnd N-and-u-half.
Presumably wicked porsons do not moro

FORTUNE IN BLACK DIAMONDS.
Talue of the Thousands of Tons of Coal at
l'crth nud South Aiuhoy,
Thousands of tons of coal nro shipped
from thoixjits of Port)) und South Am
boy, at tho mouth of tho Rnritnn rivor,
ovory month. It is loaded in vessels for
all points along tho Atlantic Fcaboard
and many European ports. Tho coal
Jocks of tho Lehigh Valley railroad at
Perth Amboy aro among tlio largest in
tho world. Tho docks of tho Pennsyl
vania railroad at South Amboy aro
nearly as largo in shipping capacity.
In connect ion with tho handling of
such immeiiso quantities of coal ono of
tho most troubkvomo problems for tho
railroad companies is to keop their roll
ing stock in constant motion. It is con
sidered a loss of rovenuo for a car to re
main several days at n given point, and
everything is dono to facilitate tlio rapid
movement of tho cars, both loaded nud
empty. For ti number of years loaded
ctn'S wero kept standing in tlio storago
yards of tho Pennsylvania railroad ut
South Amboy for weeks at a timo. At
times tho company was embarrassed for
want of cars to traussport tho coal from
tho mines. Tho difficulty was finally
solved about throo years ago. In placo
of tho long Htring of loaded cars may
now bo seen iinmcnso pilos of coal.
When a train arrives from tho mines,
tho various kinds of coal aro sorted out
and tho cars drilled to tho proper sido
track for unloading. In oloso proximity
'io each sido track stands a largo derrick
with n movablo boom extending diagon
ally into tho air about 80 foot. To this
boom is attached a largo trnvoling bolt,
on which nro fastened largo buckets. Tho
bolt is operated by a small steam cngino
in chargo of tho man who manipulates
tho olovator. As tho coal drops from tho
outlet iu tho car it falls into tho buckets
on tho olovator bolt nud is carried to tho
cud. of tho swinging boom, whero it is
dropped in tho center of thopiloaud dis
tributed by gravity. Tho coal remains in
theso pilos until it is required for ship
ment ; then it is loaded in cars and trans
ferred to tho docks.
Tho immouso pilcu of coal
contain from 10,000 to 12,000 tons eact
and nro worth from $ 40,000 to $50,000,
according to tho market value of tho
coaL It is frequently tho caso that thoro
aro 13 of theso piles of coal iu tho stor
ago yard, representing a valuo of from
500,000 to $000,000. It was discovered
recently that tho coal rusted whilo in
thoso piles. This did not detract from
tho burning qualities, but affected tho
selling valuo. To provont this canvas
covers woro mado at u cost of $1,000
each. When tho pilos of coal nro all
covorod, tho storngo yard resembles a
largo circus. Tho sight of such an im
mouso quantity of coal is viowod with
astonishment by straugors, although the
residents of South Amboy tiro so accus
tomed to it that thoynovcr givo it a sec
ond thought. Now York Telegram.
AN ANCIENT BLOCKHOUSE.

Horo in Pennsylvania wo find what

ono of tho original blockhouses built
beforo tho Revolution and still in a per
fect stato qf preservation. All tho others
havo disappeared. Forts Duqucsno and .
Pitt aro things of tho past, but) tho re
doubt of Colonol Bouquet stands today
as it stood 1!10 years ago. To tho Pitts
burg chapter of tho Daughters of tho
Rovolution wo nro indobted for its res
toration. It has boon owned by thorn
sinco 1888. Until that year tho old
redoubt of Bouquet, as it is called, was
occupied as a tenant houso, and within
its walls was bom Pittsburg's local his
torian, tlio lato Novillo B. Craigo, Esq.
Down ou "tho point," on a narrow,
dirty littlo stroet culled Port stroot, sur
roumlod by tumbledowabuildings near
ly as old us itself, is a littlo 'fivo sided
building of stono and brick erected by
uoionoi tionqucc in 1 1 U4 as a derenso
agohist tho Indians. Tlio lowor story is
of stone and tho upper of brick. In both
nro perforations or loopholes, through
which tlio defenders could nro with
comparative safety from tho cuomy.
Why this redoubt wtw erected has
boon a query to us, as but a short dis
tunco away stood Fort Pitt, a work of
considerable mugnitudo and wliaso
