A resident of the city named llolsen- boc'k , a butcher by trade , appeared in police court and plead guilty to two charges a few days ago , tno complaints coming from a widow lady . > 'ing in the Hume part of the city. Ono of tno complaint - plaint ; was for assault and ill-treatment of the widow's sou George , n nine-year- old lad. For this abuse Holscnbeck paid : i line and costs amounting to cloven dollars lars and some cents. The other com plaint against him was for creating and maintaining a nuisance by throwing re- luso matter that was both odoriferous and unhealthy upon or near the promises ot Mrs. Virden. For this amusement llolsonbeck paid another line amounting to some eleven dollars. Mrs. Virden hnu him then bound over under bonds to keep the peace. It was rather an expensive piece of litigation for the butcher and one to remember. A CASK JiKTWKKX WOMEN .

The complaint Mid warrant wore made by Miss SholTicId , a lady on Twelfth street who deals in mu sical instruments , and the charge was that Miss Stewart had shipped a musical in.striiment east that slip hail bought of ] Miss Shollield , and which was not yet fettled for. Miss Shelliold , hearing that Miss Stewart was to lollow the instru ment in a few days , took the action in the case to effect a settlement. When the ofticcr went to the homo of tuoynung lady in the country to serve the warrant ho was mot at the door by her parents , who declared that the girl had gone to San Francisco , and was not about the place.

The judge threatened nnd frowned , nnd tried every way to stop the llowof billingsgate , but it was wholly unavailing , and hesa glad to send lior back to n cell to gut rid ot the appalling language that she shrieked forth to the auuiouco.

Now York Graphic : Nearly every second end man you meet lias studied .shorthand ; it one time or another in his career , but lot one in 10,000 is able to write it rap idly. The complications , the queer twists and hooks , the dots nnd holes , the cmi-circles and zigzag scratches , and hen tlie fact that all these mean some thing else when written heavy or light , and then four times something else when ( iitt above , upon , through , or under the line , with a few thousand exceptions to rules thrown in , everyone of which must bo remembered are enough to perplex ; ind dishearten all but the most deter- nined. Indeed , considering the amount of worry ho has gone through , the practi cal stenographer is deserving of the high est public regard , as nn abiding example of what patience and determination can lo in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles. As regards the delusive pictures drawn of tlie average stenographer's life by some gullible reporter , it may bo said that they have been printed with such regularity for tlie last ten years that the effect is now to be seen in an overcrowd- ng of the market and a consequent fall n wages. As much study and patience s required to master tlio science as would lit nn average young man for a doctor , and yet when ho comes to grasp the prize for which ho has so persistently worked ho linds but husks. For , if the truth must bo told , the average stenogra pher earns little more than the average clerk and ono is a fixture in an ollico with little hope of promotion , while the other sees the .way clear botore him to one day sitting at the manager's desk with u comfortable salary , dictating let ters to the hopeful young man \yho came into the ollico years before nnd is a gray- headed , careworn individual , with no higher mission in life than to bo "dic tated'1 to and play upon a typo-writer all dny long. A glance at the advertis ing columns headed "Clerks and sales men" in a morning paper will show what salaries are paid to shorthand writers and wltat a glut there is in tlie market. Young men and women anxious to make a short cut to nn easy Hying should not bo misled by the articles from time to time in the press telling what n nice in come may bo made by a stenographer or fitonogrnphcss , if the word must bo coined , nnd how short a time it takes to learn the business. "From two to four months" is the vague remark made as giving the time in which the science of shorthand writing may bo mastered. This is an exaggeration , for tlie intricate sys tem of writing known ns shorthand de mands moro study than the urorago man can devote to it in two months before it can bn learned. Hut , grahting that it can bo done in four months of hard studj- , only half a third of the journey is tlion accomplished , tor between theoretical and practical shorthand writing ithcro is a wide gulf. Wo all remember how David Cqppcrliold was nearly driven insane by Iho study of phonography.- .how , thinking no know It all. ho attorn pted to tnko down u speech in the House of Com mons , with the result that the speaker got nwa.y from him in the lirst sentence and loft poor David's pencil wildly staggering - goring about tlio paper witli the opening words , while the honorable member was nway In the distance preparing for a well- rounded period. It will then Uo remem bered that David hired a boy to rend to him slowly , nnd was delighted to lind how easily ho could follow him night after night uutil the end of the book was reached. Hut when he nttomptcd to read I these shorthand notes David could not t make out a word of them , nnd hnd to begin all ovur again and study the sys tem anew , and begin to practice slowly for many months so ns to bo sure anil write in a readable manner. According to Mr. Dickens , U was many years before It's ' here was able to tnko down a speech. The soioncu of fonotio writing has been somowhnt improved since tiioso days , but there is still nn enormous amount of work and disappointment before thu aspiring stenographer , and nearly every ono has experiences similar to the = o of David Copperliold before being able to do nny practical work. The liardcst part 01 learning shorthand is in acquiring speed nnd otliclcncy m its practice , and than the reward hardly compensates for the work. _ A Sydney paper avers that the prince of Wales gives to ladles diamond latch keys which are worn ns a sort of decora- Don't worry about how you got rliott- matiitn , but cure it by taking St. Jacobs Oil. _ _ A green crescent moon lias been a Now Zealand novelty since the volcauio up heaval there , Lnco is said to bo driving out frillings in England , and the Ilouiton factories tit Exeter are overrun with orders.

STORY OF THE LONE FISHERMAN A Mysterious Crcnturo Who Took DC- light In the Fierce Storms or Mfilit. It was told tno a fownighls ago writes Hamilton Jay from Lake Kttslis , Honda , to ( ho Philadelphia Times-when tlio beautiful lake was peopled with shadows and from the dark encircling woods came the plaintive notes of the whlp-o'- will. Kustis is ono of a chain of lakes that have water cominunieation with the the outside world by means of the Ockla- waha river. The latter is a narrow , crooked stream , hedged by swamp and and hammock , loafing lazily wherever HIP notion seem * to take it. These lakes are beautiful clear-water streams , and embellish and make comfortable the prettiest and most delightful portion of Florida , the hill and lake region. The hills sloping down to these lakes are now dotted with the handsome villas and thrifty orange groves of both permanent settlers and winter residents : . Lakes Har ris and Kustis , in the meeting of the waters , are twin sisters in u realm of beauty. 1'ishing , b'oating and sailing are pleasures much indulged in by the lake frontors. and now , with this preface to my strange , weird tale , 1 will proceed. "Some few years ago. when this coun try was sparsely settled and everybody knew everybody else , much speculation was excited by the appearance of a stranger upon these lakes. Tlio only place where ho was ever seen , however , was in his boat fishing or poring over some tattered book. Lake Kustis seemed to bo his favorite resort. Man } ' ellbrts were made to attract Ins attention and to discover something about him , but they all failed. He would answer no ques tions , nor even look tip when ho was ad dressed , lie appeared to bo about sev enty years old. of thin , but wiry build , his long , wl'lto hair falling down over his shoulders , his long white beard reach ing to his waist. His clothing was of gray , almost threadbare , neatly patched in "places with what looked to be the skin of some animal. His boat was a long canoe , evidently hollowed out of some tro'3 by his own hands , of very graeful outlines and so jight as to be al most transparent. This lie managed with consummate skill , and when his in quisitors became too troublesome ho would speed away from them like some frightened bird. A Child of tlio Night anil Storm. "At night- this strange creature was more of a mystery thiin ever. Then his canoe was rigged with a homely canvas and would outsail the fastest craft. The lovers Moating idly on the sliming waves , where the moon showered down its silver lorv , would sec oil' in the distance the Lossfng craft of the hermit. Pleasure boats , merry laden with laughing youth and maiden , would greet him with song and jest. To all of these he made no sinn. When the long roll of the thunder was heard and the storm king was seen mtuslialling his black squadrons along the dark hon/.on all other boats would dasli for the shore , but he was in Ins glory then. Those hurrying from the scene , eager to escape liio storm and danger , would experience a strange thrill at tlio sight of this old man , who scorned to revel in the tempest. His boat would sweep through lhu blinding sheets of rain like a meteor , sometimes almost disappear ing in the trough of the waves , then leap- injr to their topmost crests. At these. Limes tlui hermit would stand ereut , and bare-headed , in his boat , wildly gesticu lating ; , sometimes giviuir vent to 'shrieks of maniacal laughter. Every effort was made to track him to his hiding-place , but they nil failed. Once , a party \yho liad been endeavoring for a long time to solve the mystery , followed him cau tiously , as ho seemed homeward bound , and unaware of their espionage. He pad dled out of the lake into the river , and when a short distance out , making an ab rupt turn , apparently disappeared in the saw-grass prairie at the edge. The hunt ing-party could see no trace of him and returned to their homes in greater bewilderment. A week passed and the hermit was still missed upon the lake. Another week having passed and still n'o sign , the young men who had originally followed him determined to make a thorough search. They wcro prompted to this by tlio common feelings of humanjty as well as by curiosity. lie might be sick and in great distress. Procuring a light boat they sot out on thcirself-imposed mission. Reaching the point where lie had disap peared they pushed resolutely through the tall matted grass , and after a short distance , to their nstonishmcnt.thoycamo to a narow branch or creek easy navigable from this point to small boats. Two hun dred yards was a clump of hammock , and here their search ended , The hut was before them. Tying their boat to a largo exposed root , they gently approached it. It was about eight feet long nnd four feet wide , made with saplings , thatched with grass , the sides covered with the dried hides of alligators. The stench that came from the interior of the hut was almost overpowering. Propping the door back witii a polo they looked in. Tlio hermit lay dead upon tno lioor , his body badly decomposed. Death had evidently approached him very suddenly as his lingers still held a little niomoran < duin book which he had been reading The partv covered the body as well as they coufil and , tumbling the hut dowi : upon it , left it to await the final trump. THE STOItY OP 1118 1.IFJI. "From the little book which I saw.1 said the narrator , "for I was ono of the party , wo learned the following facts : The man supposed to bo over seventy years old was not yet lifty. Years a o , a few miles out of Savannah , lived 1 rank Walton and Minnie Jofleott. The farms of their parents adjoined- , they two hni grown up together.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE , The Crime for AV'lilcli nn Innocent Man Was Jjen'tenced to Pennl Servitude. London Queen ; Jsot long ago a well- set-tin. well-looking , well-dressed , and superficially well-nmnnercd young gen tlemen with a moro than respectable name and title , took up his quarters at a certain hotel , where were a lady with more money than wit , and her daughter with more beauty than repute. This daughter had weathered moro London seasons than slu ? and her mother dared to count : and paint ami dye , with the most becoming toilet. * that could bo devised , and an air of greater naivete thu older she grew , were beginning to fail. She was brooming distinctly passe nnd failed and the days of sarcasm were as buy with her name as the vultures of blander had been a few years ago. This well-seeming young gentleman with a good name was adopted with both hands bv both mother and daughter. They made no inquires , but accepted his own sponsorship as quite sutUcicnt for anyone not born a child of doubt hardened' into skepticism. The young man asked noth ing better. Ho courted the mother nnd made love to the daughter ; and both capitulated as if he had soun.lcd the horn of Oberon or blown a blast through the trumpets of Joshua. The mother was rejoiced to have found a husband at last for her canary-headed daughter with the blackencd-eye-lashes and rose- pink checks ; nnd the daughter was re joiced to have at last the chance of tin ow ing on" the disgrace of .spinster-hood , and nuttinir on tno newly-minted respecta bility of a bride. So the affair went on , and the trousseau was bought , the wed ding cards were printed , the ring was lilted , the marriage license was had , and the imperfect evidence of Lord 11. 's identify was no heavier as a hindrance than ono of the marabout feathers in the bride's best bonnet. It was on the eve of the wedding day. l\ly \ lord was distrait and 111 at ease. He accounted for his state by the aiiMcty , natural to a lover who is to secure his treasure to-mor row. "Always that to-morrow ! It is so long in coming ! ' ' ho said , with a forced smile. And the canary- headed liked him all the better for the melancholy which sprang from impa tience. To-morrow , however , came in .hie course and all things were ready , when , as the bridal cortege assembled at tlio door of the hotel , tlie omnibus of the establishment drove up , and a fine , soldierly-looking man came out. lie went up the stops of the hotel , and lightly touched the bridegroom on the shoulder : "Well , Jenkins , " he said , sternly , "now that 1 have found you wo will have that little affair of the check explained. " "Sir , 1 do not know you. Who are you ? " stammered the bridegroom , with a face white as his own gloves. The sol- tliorly-looking man gave a short laugh. "That is soon settled , " he said , turning to the porter. "Here ! " call a carabi- niere ! " he added. "I want to give this fellow in charge. He was my valet , and he robbed mo of 000. 1 am Lord 11. if you want to know my name , and this fellow is John Jen kins. ' ! did not taVo your money , my lord , " answered1 John Jenkins , firmly. "Whatever follies and sins I may be guilty of , I am dearof that. " "We shall boon'soo about that , ! ' answered Lord H. , and with this he turned into the holul , where all the pcoplb had assembled in dismay at the turn things had taken. The bride was in hystcncs.and the bride's mother was in a rajjo , while the bride groom was shivering between two stal wart ciirabinieri , who represented justice and vengeance combined to punish the false lord and paV him the wages he de served. But for ail that , ho had not taken my lord's money and when ho denied the theft ho spoke /more truly than when ho had called himself Lord II. Yet 'ho was condemned and sentenced , imperfect as the evidence against him was. Ho had played such a sorry trick in thus deceiv ing the two ladies who had been saved from life-long ruin by the merest chance , that this went for something in the in dictment. If not actual evidence , it was next to it , and the law profited by it. So John Jenkins got so many years penal servitude for a crime ho dfd not commit , for tlio imperfect evidence of the prosecu tion was so ingenious tilled up by such pcrfectly-litting appearances and reason ings and hypothesis that justice , who is blind , did not see the artful joinings , and gave the decree as she thought the truth of things deserved. It was a case of im perfect evidence all through , and the ono side blundered just as much as the other. A Liovcly Complexion. "What a lovely complexion , " wo often hear persons say.

Weeks in thn Cosmopolitan : 'nw persons have a right concept ion of he immense area and peculiar physical characteristics of that barren portion of outhcastern California known as the 'olorado desert. It embraces almost the entire surface of San ISenardino county uid part of tlio counties of Lo * Angeles , nye and Kern. In other words , it has in area of between 'M\M \ and -10,000 quarc miles , or more than the combined irea of New HampshireVermontMassa * chnselts , Connecticut and Now Jersey. Some years ago a prospector doter- nined to extend his search over thai part ) f the desert that is several hundred feet > olow the sea level , and that is seldom , s ever , visited by white man or Indian , vith a supply of provisions and canteens of water to last for several days , and nountcd upon a horse accustomed to irivalions , lie struck out from the little msis of Indian Welts in n southerly dl- ( etion , and for some time climbed the tills and traversed the valleys where no igns of human presence were mot with. The daring prospector gradually s'orked his way southward for many niles , until Dually , .stretched out nt the oot of the ridge as far as the eye could ee , lay a perlectlv level valley. Its stir- ace was s-eomingly as smooth as a lloor or miles on mile.- ) , while Us appearance vas of a most peculiar nature , being of in ashy whiteness and without a rock or u'ottiberance of any kind to break the nonotony of the dead level. A singular obloct a mile or so from the eel of the hill nttracUul his attention , le shaded his ees with his hat brim and ookcd again and again at it. If that vere the ocean , instead of the desert at lis feet , ho would btirely say that a vessel ay at anchor there. Surely no rock ever ixisted that resembled so much the hand work of man. What could it boV Slowly ho rode down the hillside , do- ormined upon getting a nearer view of he strange object. At last the level was cached , and there , apparently less than i mile away , lay what was uumicstion- ibl.v the worn and battered hulk of an indent vessel. The stumps of the masts itill remained , while the hiih stern and iceuliar .shajlc of the entire ship be- okcncd its ancient origin. 'Iho bul- varks seemed to have been partly Carried away , probably by the falling of he masts , whoso stumps projected ten or liftecn feet above the decK. Hut other- vise all the contour of the old hulk was icrfoct , though of a design vastly diller- siu from any that had over been scon by lie astonished discoverer. The prospector , with all his faculties jnnt upon a close examination of this strange apparition in the desert , urged lis horse forward , but the ground broke icneath his weight , and then it was seen hat the entire surface was but a crustan nch or moro in thickness , but not of Btif- ieiont strength to bear the weight , of mrso and rider. Underneath this crust was n dark-colored mixture of mud and water. Horse and rider approached nearer and .nearer , but iinally the poor animal sank BO deeply in the o'oze that it became ap- larcnt that it was impossible to advance another step in the direction of the ves sel , which now seemed almost within pistol-shot. Reluctantly the horse's head was : urncd toward the shore , which was inafly reached after a hard struggle. The prospector dismounted and cast about for some means of reaching the wreck , which his imagination had by this ; ime freighted with all manner of wealth , lie attempted to make his way over the crust on loot , but ho lound that it gave way almost as readily as under the horse's hoofs , nnd so was obliged to aban don the attempt. Unable to devise any means for satisfying Ins curioiity by sot- Ling foot on the long-deserted deck that lay so temptingly near , ho at last reluct antly decided to make haste for the near est settlement , and there organize a well- equipped expedition with every appliance necessary for reaching and making a thorough search for the stranded hulk. Hut on turning to his horse a most piti able sight was soon. The poor animal's legs were raw and bleeding for the entire distance that had conic in contact with the muddy deposit beneath the surface crust , and an examination showed that this deposit was so highly impregnated with alkali that it had eaten the horso's limbs almost to the bonp , and consequently quently ho was in no condition for further trayel. The only tiling to bo done was mercifully to put. the poor creature outof His snll'orings , and a pistol ball soon ended the life of the faithlul beast. The prospector was now loft on foot to con tend with Uio multitudinous and almost insurmountable dillioulties that confront ed him. Imagine his condition ; his horse dead , himself lost , and with scant supplies of water and food. However , ho know the general direction in which tlio old road across the desert lay , and ho knew , too , that if his strength only held out and he traveled far enough to the north ho was certain to roach assistance in time. Ho reached a station three days after and his life was saved. When ho recovered so ns to bo able to travel , ho was carried by stage to the San Bernardino valley , where ho soon regained his strength , and then imparted to a few friends the strange discovery that ho had made upon his trip. Among others , the writer was told of the wonderful stranded ship , and curi osity was aroused to the utmost. Many theories wcro advanced to account for its presence there. The most plnusablo explanation and ono easily within the bounds of belief , was that a long time ago some hardy mariner sailed north , ward along the Mexican coast on n voyage ago of discovery. Fearing to venture on unknown seas ho hugged the shore , never losing sight of land. When the Gulf of California was reached , instead of following the ocean line , ho entered the gulf , the southern extremity of the peninsula now known as lower California , not being in sight from the coast of the mainland op posite , Sailing on and up the gulf , which unmistakably at ono time extended much further northward than It docs now and had arms reaching tip to what is now known as Colorado desert , the ves sel , missing tlio mouth of the Colorado river , was Iinally driven by storm or ran ashore whore the prospector found it cen turies later. The writer , whose curiosity was greatly stimulated by the tale , consulted ono of the old padres about it , and from him he learned that in certain ancient historical volumes in Ins possession ho had found an account of how some vessels laden with gold and all manner of valuable commodities in transit from the East Indies had boon dispatched to the north * ward from Acaptilco during the sixteenth century , in the expectation that a route would bo found by which the valuable cargo might bo taken directly to Spam , instead nf being transported across the wilds of Mexico , and rcshippcd on the Atlantic coabt : Thtso f.hi | > .s hud never after been hoard from , and they di.-ap- peared us mysteriously from sight as the mirage of the desert. It was entirely witliili the bounds of reason 19 suppose that one of these gul- Icons , mistaking the Gulf ot California for the wishcd-for passage , had finally boon lost sight of Sti what is now the desert. At all events , there is enough to show that perhaps no moro thanJi'iO ' years have claused since the reeedeneo of the waters of the gulf to their present bound * , nnd licnco it requires no violent stretch of the imagination to identify the \\rcck willi outof the lost vp * -l and to load it with nn imperishable store of gold and silver. Throe or four rnthu < dtislip souls wore enlisted , ami it was proposed to make n systematic pll'ort to reach the wreck. It was Iinally decided that the only feasible plan for overcoming the obstacles pre sented by the crust and the alkali of the valley was to employ broadtint-bottomed boats mndo of shoot iron , such as duok hunters oeenMonnlly IHO. These nro made In sections and nro easily trans ported long distances. A supply of light but strong rope was to bo taken , and it was thought that it would bo possible to " 1'ole" the boat over the crust to thu wreck without breaking through , sinoo it would present a broad , ivi. tant surface and sustain considerable weight. Calculations were made ns to the rmunint of food and water necessary for tlie party and the loams that would bo required to haul the outfit to the desired spot , and the entire plan seemed most feasible. Hut tlio fact that for nt least three ( lavs the discoverer hnd been stiller- ing so severely as to bo unable to tell in wiiat direction ho had boon wandering after leaving the scene of the wreck ; Hint ho had taken little notice of the course followed in reaching itthereby rendering the retracing of his steps exceedingly pro blematical , anu that during that very season no less than lifteon persons were known to have lost their lives on the desert , led Iinally to the abandonment of tlie scheme. So the vessel lies there unvisllcd to this day , awaiting t advent of some daring adventurer that is willing to risk his life in the { .catch.
