The temperature of our bodies, which nor- mally is about ninety-eight and one-baif degrees, is modifled markedly by our clothing, our food and drink, our habits, whether active or other- wise,and by the temperature of the place in which we may happen to be. The point just | named is one of the most important, yet little | need be said of it for the reason that now this is | practically beyond our control.

( NanTUcKeT, Mass., June 28. The tropical heat had been gradually moving come to stay. That decided the family to delay no longer their flight to the sea breezes of Nantucket that are only tempered by the heat of the matnland. And after hastily packing, the eventful morning came when armed and equipped with shawl straps, umbrellas, satchels, books, papers, lunches, banjo, tennis rackets, and a palm leaf fan, the train from Washington to New York was laden with the precious freight. The passengers gazed af each other in agony as the heat of the way stations was wafted in, and there was scarcely a smile when, on ap- proaching a tunnel, asmall child remarked we “had better put down the windows, as we were going through a sewer.” Making connection with the Fall River boat by the Brooklyn annex, then securing the much-coveted stateroomsthat had been telegraphed for, and watching the passengers that arrived after the starting of the boat take a flying leap through the air and land safely in the arms of the crew and others of the sterner and stronger sex who kindly assisted, was the occupation of the hour. After supper there was a concert. and the sweet strains of “Bohemian Gi “Some Day,” waltzes and recollections ot minstrelsy were wafted through the saloons. ‘* Home, Sweet Home,” did not seem to touch the chord that it should have. “Tired nature's sweet restorer” was rudely | banished by the sounding of songs and pound- ing on stateroom doors, when Fall River was sighted in the morning. Then the train to New Bedford, and the disappointing announcement. “No early boat to Nantucket.” Breakfast at the Parker house solaced in some measure, and It was decided to take the ten o’clock boat for Martha's Vineyard, that part of the waiting hours might be spent in exploring Cottage City. While in the parlor waiting for the time of the boat’s leaving we were entertained by the appa- rition, seemingly from the dim past, of MISS SEARCHING, A BOOK AGENT. Her costume was antique, but not more an- tique than unique—the bonnet. oh, that bonnet! biack straw, that had bravely, with the rest of | her costume, withstood the summer suns and wintry winds of ages.

THE SHARP BOY OF NSTUCKET. When she reached the island, a small boy asked if she would not ride up to his aunt’s with him, as the sald aunt bad promised him ten cents for every passenger he brought to her house. She was ready to do so, and was greeted bout this de the i largest spare room in the house, and only made her pay one dollar aday, because she had on her nice traveling suit then; but that boy kept bringing up loads, and eight girls had to sleep in a row onthe parlor floor. Then a bride and groom came. There was a tap at her door, which she did not notice; then another, and she demanded to know what was wanted. The aunt merely desired to know if she would not vacate her room for the bride and. groom, be- cause there were two of them. “Not I,” says she; ‘ possession is nine pints of the law,” and sat like a queen.” The next day she returned tothe mainland. Boarding-house keepers had | been very kind to her, and she boarded for two | dollars & week, where others paid nine. But | they must not know it. She was from Boston, and had been brought up right.

She was an Orthodox, but had been in all churei The greatest disgust was for the Methodist church. No one but low kind of folks went to that,” she thought. At least they didn’t in Boston. There were six other board- ers where she boarded, counting the woman’s husband, and she called him a boarder, because his wife was the older, and he had what the others had not—‘dainty bits of cheese and strawberries.” Now in Boston they had straw- berries for tea every evening, ‘but not here. oy m her room rent”—ten dollars a m some magazine.

TUDOR GOT A HUSBAND, Mrs. Tudor was the daughter of a very rich man, who died, leaving her uncle guardian, with charge of the property until her marriage. Theuncle kept her a prisoner in her own house. No one was permitted to see her but the ser- vant, who carried the meals. He kept her making her escape by briving the servant. She went down to the dock, and asked the captain ofthe ship lying there if he would marry her, but he told her to go off, as he was a married man. Then she went to the mate, who was sit- ting near—he was also married. In despera- tien she went to a common sailor, who con- sented. She bade him follow, saying she would explain later. She carried him to the barber, shoemaker, clothier, hatter, and last to the minister, where they were married. After this, she said, “Now, we will go home.” She went to the house, and sent for her uncle to come to the parlor. She introduced her husband as Mr. ‘Tudor and herself as Mrs. Tudor, and then gave her uncle twenty-four hours ‘to leave the house. This was a true story, for Miss Search- ing knew “all the parties,” and “they was highly respectable people of 'Roston,” ‘The time at Martha’s Vineyard was spent in driving over part of the island, and through the winding lanes ef Cottage City. At last the boat for Nantucket arrived. A fog-rain had set in, sea was rough, and all were giad to see Nantucket.

Lt The Career of a Great Detective—How He Iegan Life and Worked up the Agency Which Bears His Name—Some Famous Mysteries Which He Une Faveled—Protecting Lincoln. Allan Pinkerton, the famous fetective, died in Chicago onthe Ist instant. His lf was filled with startling events. He was born in Glasgow in 1819, the son of a small tradesman. He married young and immediately after left for the western hemisphere, landing in Canada. Anew post village in Bruce county, Ontario, is now ramed after him. The young couple’s early struggles were a series of hardships, and after many vicissitudes Pinkerton went to Chi- cago, where he engaged in the cooper trade. He afterward moved to the neighborhood of Dundee, Ill., where he purchased a small farm. This was, as near as can be ascertained, about 1847. Pinkerton was then about 28 years of age, and it was then that he made his first de- tective ventures as an amateur. Horse thieves were onthe rampage in those days, and Allan Pinkerton, after having been successful in hunting down a rascal who had stolen one of his horses, was employed by neighbors, until his reputation as a detective reached the adjoining counties. INVITED TO CHICAGO. What gained him a reputation all over the state, and even farther, was in exactly the same line. At that time there was very little ready money in the country ‘ricts of the northwest, and this scarcity was partially supplied by the checks of the Milwaukee Fire and Marine Insur- ance Company (now Mitchell's bank), which were crude and easily imitated. Pinkerton suf- fered by the torgeries,and he succeeded in huut- ing down one of the forzers—Jolin Gray, a Ver- mout an. The merchants of the country em— ved him to run down the other fergers, and Pinkerton succeeded in that. He was then in- yited to Chicago, followed the invitation, and was made deputy sheriff of Cook county. ’ This was in 1849, and in the same year Pinkerton re- ceived the appointment as special agent ot the Treasury under Secretary Guthrie. In this, and also in the positlon of mail agent, he distin- guished himself by numerous brilliant pieces of detective work. The first established agency was begun in Chicago in 1853. Beginning with a handful ot trusted employes, Allan Pinkerton steadily in- creased his business until there are now “Pink- erton agencies” in the principal cities of the Union, employing thousands of men and women in every state of the Union. Men of good char- acter are alone employed. The various agencies at present employ about two hundred 6 ass detectives, men and women, whose pay ranges from £5 a day to $5,000 per year. ESCORTING LINCOLN TO WASHINGTON. The feat which gave Allan Pinkerton a national reputation was to conduct Abraham Lincoln safely through Baltimore to the inau- guration in Washington. Pinkerton knew of the plot to assassinate the President-elect in Baltimore, which was then completely in the hands of a rebel mob. Riotous scenes and attacks upon Federal troops were the order ot the day. It was sald, though the story was Speedily denied, that Pinkerton accomplished his hazardous task with the aid of one of his female operatives, who occupied the same seat in the car as the President, who wore a bonnet with a thick veil which completely concealed lis vell-known features.

SOME 1 His first important case on resuming his for- mer duties was the robbery of the Adams ex- | press company, near Baltimore, by throwing | the safes from the train while in motion and | ing away with over $109,000. This case, like other cases uf the saine nature, was a suc- . the thieves, six in number, being arrested, tried and convictedand the money all recovered, | ome time later came the robbery of the Harn- den express company, in Baltimore, by which | $20,000 w cured; the thieves in this ¢ 1d the money recovered. was the robbery of the rbondate, Pa.. in which ed and the money, £40,000, ‘covered. Following these came the robb [the Adams express company on the kand New Haven railroad, on January 6, 1866. The thieves, six in number. including the brakeman, entered the express car by wrench: ing off the lock and bursting the safe. They se- cured about $70,000 from this exploit. Through the efforts of Mr. Pinkerton and Mr. Frank Warner (the latter being at the time superin- tendent uf the New York office), the thieves were convicted and the money all recovered but about #12.000, the most of which was after- wards returned through a Catholic priest. The arrest and conviction of the robbers of Mylart’s bank at Scranton, Pa., next followed. The next case of importance of which Mr. Pinkerton had charge was the robbery by Mor- tonand Thompson from the expresscar of the Merchant’s Union Express Company on the Hudson river railroad of $300,000. These men were tracked to Canada and there arrested, and in spite ofall that money could do and the help which they received from corrupt government officials they were extradited to White Plains, N.¥. They atterwards broke from prison and raided the Boylston Bauk in Boston and then fled to Europe. THE RENO BROTHERS. In the same year came the death of the Reno brothers and Anderson, of Seymour, Indiana. These men were desperadoes of the most pro- nounced type. They robbed stores and express trains, burglarized safes, and their very names became a terror along the railroad lines in that ‘ction of the country. Entire discontinuance of express service was seriously thought of by the companies. In 1868, near Osgood Station, | Indiana, they robbed the Adams Express Com- pany of £97,000 by boarding the train, throwing the inessenger from the car, opening the safes and deliberately appropriating their contents. This case was given to Mr. Pinkerton, and Simeon and Bill Reno were arrested by him at Indianapolis. Frank Reno and Charles Anderson fled to Canada, were pursued to Windsor, Ontario, and’ extra- dited after a long siege of more than three months. During the trial which followed another portion of the gang, for the purpose of screening the prisoners and throwing suspicion from them, attempted another express robbery, but of this Mr. Pinkerton was fully advised and prepared for them. After one of the men had been shot the rest were captured, but before awaiting the action of the law the indignant and outraged populace of the county took them out and hung them within full view of the jail. When Frank Reno and Carles Reno were returned to the United States they were thrown into jail at New Albany, Indiana, in company with Simeon and Bill Keno. About three weeks after their arrival there one hundred masked men marched to the jail, having come in on the north-bound train, overpowered the sheriff and jailer and hung the three Renos and Anderson, and that ended the banditti in Southern Indiana. A MAN WITHOUT FEAR. Allan Pinkerton was a man who knew no fear, and numerous are the exploits in which he took his life In his own hands. On one occasion, in Detroit, he was so severely handled by his ad- versaries that his lite was despaired of. A par-| tial lameness remained to the last as the result of the bloody encounter. He was a man who detected at once what qualities there were in a person that came under his observation. A striking illustration of this fact ig the career of MeParlan, the great detective in the Molly Ma- guire cases. MeParlan was a coachman in the employ of merchant who resides in Chicago. ‘The stables of this gentleman Joined those of Pinkerton on Monroe street, and ‘the old man,” then deeply involved in the study of the Molly Maguire cases, came to the conclusion that “Mac” was his man. He engaged him at a high salary, instructed him personally for hours every day, and finally turned him over to the Phila- delphia agency, which had the special manage- ment ot this great case. Mr. Pinkerton was the author of fifteen vol- umes of detective experiences. He has left several volumes in maauseript. He never could be induced to operate in a divorce case or where family matters were in dispute. He leaves a widow, Mrs. Joan Pinkerton, the devoted wife who followed her young hustand in his yolun- tary exile to America, and who has been his con- stant companion and wise counsellor through the many years and changing fortunes of their wedded life.

How Jones Made His Money. Pittsburg Special to Philadelphia Times. Mr. B. F. Jones owes his fortune to his shrewd- ness in taking advantage of an accident. About thirty years ago, when the rolling mill of his firin, then Jones & Lauth, could have stood on 5th avenue without obstructing the pavement on either side, one of the workmen got his heavy tongs, welghing about flity pounds, fast toa bar of hot iron. The bar was already in the tly whirling rolls. There was no time to rele throu: zh the rolls under ponderous. pre def being crushed and broken, th t the other side flattened out of s . but a bar of iron o! at it, but had a a among themselves ny and experimenting. instead of a discharge the work- the tongs go through cold got a 000, and in 1 the present immense plant It is Valued It scold rolled iron under an exclusive pat- ent at an immense profit, and the long hea the Iucky firm, who was ‘to-d le cl of the republican national committee lionaire about ten times over.

From a Paris Letter to the Boston Journal The dynamite vigil on the other side of the Channel is making the traveling public very sour against the English. In their clownish zeal the employes, who seem convinced that the ex- plosive material is brought in from France, are frequently bratal, and are almost invariably impertinent. A well-known American attempted to jest with one of the guardians at Dover, the other day, by “elicking” in his hand, while the honest islander was peering into liis valise, a small toy made to produce a noise like the tick- Ing of a clock. At first the examiner's hair stood on end. And, when he saw the joke. he was wild with rage, “— — you,” he said to the American, “Ihave a mind to knock you into the water! I'll teach you to try your Yankee game on me!” Click went the toy again. “I'll call a policeman, and have you locked up!” cried the examiner. ““—— —— | have a mind to knock you over the head. Till have you te understand that this is no laughing matter. And so, indeed, it is not. The consternation is widespread, and seems daily to deepen in degree. You have heard how Lord Hartington was detained the other day by a zealous fool, who thought there might be dynamite concealed within a wedding cake which some one had asked the noble lord to add to his baggage. eee Dundreary in Parliament. One of the most singular figures in the house of commons is Lord Henry Lennox, who was announced for some time in the society journals as affianced to Mrs. Hicks-Lord, and who has recently married another very wealthy widow. He has been known as th er from as far back as 1852, when he was private secretary to Disraeli on his first assumption of office, and acted as his cup bearer, supplying him with draughts of port wine to sustain him in his memorable speech in detense of his first budvet. The Spider combines the aze of sixty-three with the vivacity, not to say the vanity, of twenty. He recalls Mr. Dombey’s noble relative, Cousin Feeniz; Ne also recalls Lord Vorisopit, and makes a distinct suggestion of Dundre . His patent leather boots are the nattiest’ in the house; his clothes are of the cut of the most ac- complished masher; his hair, which is a lovely brown—what there Is of it—is parted down the middle; his manners have the repose becoming the De 'Veres and people of that class. In short, Lord Henry is at all times and under all circuit stances an Tuteresting object and an instructive study. deserving the observation of American yisitors to the house. Saturday Smiles. “Hard workers are never troubled with insom- nia,” says a physician. Very true; look at the hardworked policemen.—Philadelphia Call. The bells of Grace church, New York, are said to weigh over uine tons. The dudes never offer to carry them on their laps at crowded picnic excursions.—Burlington Free Press. The woman who thinks more of her spring bonnet than she does of her husband and chil- dren is—is—well, reckon she's like the majorit: of fashionable women.—Kentucky State Journal A woman may be imbued with a feeling of joy and kindness second only to that of the angels, but for all that shecan never succeed in wash- ing a pair of men’s cassimere pants, and have them set as they did before.— Chicago Sun. Telemachus, don’t let me hear you laughing, at a woman again because she can’t sharpen a pencil. When you want something in that line to laugh at, do you just contemplate a man cut- ting out a paper pattern with a pair of scissors by the united efforts of his right hand, lower Jaw and two-thirds of his tongue.—Burlington Hawkeye. “When Iwas young,” sald Mrs. Yeast, Principle used to be to spend as you go.” “Well, isn’t it just the same now?” inquired Mrs. Crim- sonbeak. “Bless you, no;” replied the old lady, throwing down the paper in which she had been reading of a recent bank defalcation; “the principle with bank people seems to be ‘spend before you go.’ "— Fonkers Statesman.
