THE CAPTAIN'S STORY.

Tins mny be a true story. It came to mo in tins wise. We had been arguing, Roger and I, as was our wont, whenever wo met, on half a dozen different subjects—last and fiercest on Irish misgovernmoufc and Irish discon tent. I was a fervid upholder of Home Rule with strong opinions on the hind ([Ueation. Roger's, wonted antipathy to all I hings Hi bernian was just then intensified by the fact of his regiment being under orders for the west of Ireland, with the prospect of dirty work before it. " I'll give in, Heaty," he said at last. " You and 'Gladstone together are too iniieli for any man. Hero's tea Shall I toll you a story while you make it':'1 "An Irish one?" " How else could I count on your atten tion for a moment!" "True?" " So the man says who told it to me." Roger leaned back in his chair mid gazud meditatively into the lire fora few moments. The brief March twilight deepened and deepened into " blind man's holiday," the witching moment for story-telling. 1 chose Roger's favourite tea-cup-old Liverpool ware, big, ugly, and precious—placed it within his reach, brimful, steaming and fragrant, and then nestled down cozily amongst my cushions to listen to his story. It ran very much as follows : "My hero—lot's call him O'Noil; that's far enough from the real thing—was one of your favourite tenant farmers, with as pretty a littlo holding as you could wish to see, Ulenduig by name. It lay in a groen little valley, shut out from the world by gently rising hills, on the western slope of one of which the grey old farm-house was perched, " Barry O'Noil was a handsomo, bright young fellow ; popular far and near : a bold rider, a good shot, and a clever farmer ; and when it was known that he had gone to England a-wooing, not a soul in the country round but wished him the best of good luck. ' More powor to him.' "He brought his pretty wife homo one minnv October evening.

"Tho hills wore golden with gorse, or royal in purple heathor A triumphal arch, with ' Cead millc failthe' in dahlias, spanned the road whore it commenced to ascend from tho village to tho house. Half the village was on foot, running besido the carriajjo, shouting a welcome, anil strewing the bride's path with tlowery compliments ; the other half was congregated in tho big fanr.houso kitchen, where tlracio ami Sheelah, the two servant girls, were busy dispensing 'the bit and sup' to all comers in honour of the day.

" All the lattice windows of the grey old house were ablaze with sunset red. A big myrtle treo shadowed the porch, and a passion-flower climbed up to tho chimney stacks ; a fuchsia hedge sheltered the garden, where all sorts of sweet-smelling, old-fashioned flowers, and horbs ran wild. llracio and Sheelah came smiling to tho open door ; and then the neighbours crowded round the carriage to welcome homo tho bride with hearty warmth and ready compliments. " Isabel O'Neil, fresh from a Lancashire manufacturing town, from surroundings of dirt, smoko, noise, ugliness, and riches, from the rough greetings, if any, of the factory hands, and tho oppressive splendours of the mill-owners, felt as if she.were begin ning life anew in another world—if not a better, at any rate a cleaner and kinder one.

" Sho closed her eyes that night full of happy thoughts, and slept the dreamless sleep of wholesome fatigue. "She d"d not know what hour it was when she awoko, and was at first perplexed by her strange surroundings, so much so that she sprang out of bed and rushed to the window before sbo quito knew what she was doing. To her surprise tho ground was white with snow.

" It was bright moonlight, almost as light as day. She could see the yard, with sonic outbuildings and a great turf stack in one corner, all covered deep with snow.

"A trail of black footmarks crossod the yard. ' Barry !' she called, at first gently then louder. ' Barry !' No answer.

" She looked ; his place was empty, and while she stood shivoring with terror, a Voice close by whispered clearly-:

" ' Fly ! For you)- life—fly !' "She screamed, struggling for breath, flung her arms in the air, and fell senseless across the bed.

"The room was full of warm sunshine when she unclosed her eyes again. Barry's arms were round her, and Barry's kind handsome face, full of dismay and grief, bent over her. Gracie and Sheeluh were hovering about with vociferous plaints in woebegone Irish. "'My darling, what was it? A bad dream?' Barry asked ; but she turned faint and sick at the recollection, and never re curred to it.

" The terrors of that night gradually faded from her remembrance), ns the cares' and experiences of her new life filled all her time and thoughts. Mrs O'Neil was a high spirited, intelligent woman, little given to morbid fancies, and bent on filling worthily her place in the world, whatever it might be. Everything about her was very strange and perploiing at first: the want of near neighbours of her own position in society, the universal deference and undisguised admiration she encountered at every turn, combined with entire disregard of her wishes or flat disobedience to her orders ; the dirt, the squalor, the lavish hospitality, the grace, pootic sentiment, mendacity, generosity, and brutality of her people, all bewildered Lancashire Isabel unspeakably. However, she had tact, pood temper, and determination enough to carry her through her difficulties, and contented herself by doing her utmost in her own immediate sphere. Her garden, her dairy, her poultry yard, were her pride and glory. She ran singing up and down the old farm-house, brightening up the low dark rooms with crafty little touches of decoration and ar rangement, trying to instil orderly English ways into Gracie and Sheelah, and bewitch ing .them by her clever devices and pretty gracious ways, or tramped sturdily across the stubble by Barry's side discussing drainage, cattle food, or improved farm im plements as if she had been born to the work.

" At first she tried visiting the cottages regularly, but here was an unexpected stumbling block in her way. She was a Protestant, the only one in Glenduig, and between her and her Irish Romanist neigh bours, as Thackeray says, ' the Boyne water still runs.' No average English mind can conceive the bitterness and hatred which Still prevails in some of the more remote and uncivilised regions between the holders of the two creeds the animosity of the Irish Catholic, as an article of his faith, being a triflo the more virulent and openly manifested.

" Isabel soon guessed the meaning of the remarks in Irish shouted after her by the children in the one dirty street of ' the town,' and was calmly indifferent to the fact that the sick person who rained down noisy blessings on her head for her kind nPS3 most likely crossed himself and spat aftor her before she was well out of the cabin. She somehow expected a trifle more tolerance and culture from the parish priest, not understanding how slight a shade of superficial education distinguishes the peasant priest from his flock. "Father Garraghty, who at first hoped for a convert, seeing her Sunday after c',i'iy at Barry's side in the little

!i'i nl in the dale, finding his exneotations vain, preached a sermon one day that set Barry's ears and 4»?«rs a-tingling, and sent Isabel thence forward trudging steadily over the shoulder of the hill to church at Ballynaeross. After .that Father Garraghty confined his notice

of her to blackly scowling when they met, and shouldering her oil' the narrow pave ment, into tho gutter if she inadvertently gave him the chance. Nevertheless the autumn and wiu'er passed happily away. Then camo a long, cold, stormy spring, The. weatherwise looked gloomy and pre dicted a bad potato year.

" Rain, rain, rain : not, the soft, gracious, timely fall that gladdens the farmer's heart, swelling the seed in tho ground, and coat ing tho hillsides with soft green, but a pitiless, drenching downpour,'that Idled the furrows and rotted the root crops, brought disease in the fold and blight in tho Hold, and took (he heart out of all farm work.

" ' lending prospered fairly, but. tho mir rounding gloom was contagious, " Nothing was talked about but ' potato blight,' 'the famine year,' ' tho sickness,' anil then by the usual fatality, ' Kuglish misgovernmont,' 'Ireland for the Irish,' 1 the curse of the Saxon rule,' and so on.

" Isabel no longer hoard joking and laughter in tho big kitchon (always haunted by a 'dweller on (he threshold,' in the shape of a tramp, a pedlar, or a beggar of some description), but instead she would find tho girls and the newcomer mys teriously 'colloguing' over the lire, and Sheelah and (iracie would go about looking seared but olato in tho possession of some awful sccrot.

"Then camo rumours of midnight gather ings in the hills; of pikes brought into town concealed in loads of turf, of threatening letters to neighbouring landowners ; lastly, of a regiment, from Dublin coming to occupy tho long disused barracks on the Uallynacross-road. " Barry only laughed at the stories which Isabel repeated to him —talked her out of her terrors ; she was delicate and nervous just thon—and took her to call on the ollicers'wives who had accompanied their husbands to Ballynacross.

" They were three in number—bright, pleasant women, grumbling terribly at being sent to such a desolate region, but prepared to make tho best of all thoy found there. They made much of Isabel, cheered her' and amused her, so that tho short- too short summer sped rapidly by. Then came weeks of wild weather, closing in (ilcnduig from the world as with prison walls, and then one grey Novombor morning camo Isabel's little white, wailing baby son.

" '1 wonder what Mrs Fairfax will say to him,' said Isabel in tho pride of her heart when tho mite in question was about a week old. '1 suppose sho will have heard about him.' " Harry was silent. •' ' lias, she been here since, or Mrs .Los lie V " Barry stirred up the lire, making a little commotion amongst the wood ashes.

" ' You wore too ill to sco thorn, Hello darling. They enmo ovor—to say good bye.' " ' Oli, f am sorry ! Then they did get leave, ."ifter nil?"

"'Not exactly,' Harry faltered. 'Mi* Dyer has troue on a visit to lCngland, ami Mrs Leslie had to goon business to Dublin, so it would have been dull for Mrs Fairfax to stay here by herself—and didn't agree with the children —and so— '

"'I understand,' interrupted Isabel, quietly. ' Major Leslie not alarmed, and sent his wife out of danger. He said he should— —'

■••No, no' don't get frightened. Belle dearest. Leslie is a nervous old woman. and Fairfax and Dyer no bettor. Anyhow, i/ott're safe!' blundered poor Harry, dis mayed at Inning let out tlie truth : but Isabel scorned to pay little heed to hi news, ami lie hoped sho had forgotten if. "Early frosts followed the ilrcm-hini! rains, and sho appeared content to remain quiet in the cosy warmth and brightness of her own room, tended by tho funniest of little old lri.-h nurses.

" Biddy Kea y looked as old as the hills, iiinl as brown au'd hard as bog oak, with a little shrivelled face like a N'ormiwby pippin, and a big white cap with ilnppinjj frills. Sho trotted about, as lightly as it young girl, and was excellent company. Isabel had many a laugh over her comical stories, and sho was brimful of quaint say ings and old legends. She would settle Isabel and the baby comfortably, and then sitting on a low 'creepy' before the tire. bugging her elbows in default of baby, would swing backwards and forwards, with tier bright little eyes, as quick as a mouse's, fixed on Isabel, who listened, fairly fascinated by the weird interest of the old woman's talk. It was gruesome enough at times, chiefly when Bnr-y was out of boar ing. "Tho little old woman had played her own small part in the history ot 'tin troubles,' meaning the last years of the In-il century, and told how she, weeshy colleen a.s she was, had bathed the yeomanry, and carried a warning to Woolf Tone, when he was in hiding. " Sho had soon ' Lord Edward ' and his lovely wifo, and later on had helped to mako green cockades for the Peep o' Day Boys, who burned the Cork militia men and tho English troops in their barracks. Her talk was of strange names to Isabel - - Shanavosts and Caravats and United Irishmen. An' it was grand they looked, marchin' out wid their bip black flap, wid tho Woody Cross and 'Murthor AVidout Sin' (an' that's Prothestant murthor sure) on it. An' they tuk the hiritics wan an all and hold them, wid a pike boforo and a pike behind, over tho bridge till they'd say an Aye, and then dthropt them into tho Slanoy to dio asy. " 'An its moeself renumbers Father Clinch an' his big white horse, wid the scimetar at his side, and tho ' gospel' that would turn a Protestant bullet, round his neck — an' Father John wid tho big horsewhip, an' it was he kop' on lathering the boys when they wouldn't face- tho yeomanry, and those murthering villains of Hessians—tho curse o' Cromwell on them,' and so on and on the old crone would ramble through the hideous stories of Vinegar-hill and Enniscorthy, till Isabel shivered and turned faint, when sho would drop into a croon of some queer old ballad, or jump up and bustle about tbe baby with some comical chatter that sot the baby and mother laughing together.

" Isabel felt sorry and yet relieved when she departed a month later to her home somewhere up in the mountains, Gracie succeeding to the post of nurse, much to her delight. Then came snow, softly fall ing, never thawing, deepening imperceptibly aver the land.

"' An invitation to dinner at the bar racks, Isabel,' said Barry one day. 'I shan't go.'

'"Why not?'

" ' It's bad riding at night, now. There's a moon, but if it should turn stormy, I shouldn't get home.'

" 'Major Leslie wants you to stay all night. Do, Barry. You've been moping here with me long enough, /don't wnnt you, and Con ! the beauty, doesn't. He can take cave of me quite well now.'

" 'I don't like leaving you.' '"Why, what ails me? I can run all over the place now—should have been down the glen long ago but for the snow. Bo go, Barry, dear.'

"So off Barry rode, looking back and waving his hand at the last turn over the shoulder of the hill, and Isabel saw him go gaily enough.

" She busied herself about the houso to ! the last possible moment, then Graeie and sho had a grand function of baby-worship, putting Constantino Barry O'Neil, Esq., to bed in a queer little wooden cradle that had been a tight fit for his father before him. Isabel saw herself to the barring and bolting of the heavy shutters and doors, and then I retired to her room, not to sleep, however. : She felt restless and over excited, and sat down resolutely to read herself sleepy. She fell, at last, into an uneasy doze, her candle burned out, her fire sank low, and the cold roused her with a start. The moon had got round to her window and filled the room with chilly brightness, i

" She stood looking out on tho wild wasto that lay beyond the dark lino of the garden hedge, when sho suddenly became awaro of a stir amongst tho low range of outbuildings beneath her window. A (rack of dark foot marks led plainly across tho yard to the big peal stack in the coiner, and, watching keenly, she could sec three- -four sis black ligures clustered beneath it.

'■' While,-he watched, two of them stole out. and, still keeping in the shade of the outbuildings, disappeared round the corner of the house. More black ligures came and went, till tho original group was increased to a crowd that might, number twenty or more.

"'They will attack us! They do not know I'.arry is away: if he returns they will kill him !' Hashed successively through Isabel's mind, sharp and clear as if a voice hail spoken in her car; and then rushed across her memory the dream of her lirsfc night iii Clondiiig: 'Fiji! I'm- ijuur lifr— /hi!' rang again in her ears.

"Shi hastily clothed herself in her warmest wraps, lifted sleepy Uttlo Con from his bed, and with a long crib blanket girded him to her breast, and then guided by some sure insfincl—for of a certainty deliberate thought was impossible to her then — stole from her room to the one window whore ogress was practicable -ft little ease ment in the corner of tho staireaso, opening over the sloping roof of a shed outside. It was in shallow, and by some blessed chance iinwatched. She dared not lose time in rousing (Iraeio and Shoelah in their remote sleeping-room. Even as she slippod from tho window a heavy blow fell on tho front, door. Sho dropped from tho roof on to a snowbank and lied.

"Oh, the weary toil and tho terror of that strugglo uphill through the deep snow with her heavy burden. Sho know tho road well, but all tracks were obliterated in tho universal whiteness. A low wall of rough stones guided and screened her till she came out on the shoulder of (he hill —on the very spot, she remembered, whore Barry had turned for his last look at her. Out sho came into the bright moon light. Tho sound of blows and angry shouts reached her ears, and looking back down on (ilendnig sho saw the house sur rounded by n mob of dark figures. Stones wove Hying and torches blazing, and as sho stood panie-slricken, one of tho crowd and thon nioro separated Ihcniselves from the rest, and with a tierce yell came racing up the hill towards her. " The pour hunted creature lied she never know how long, along the mountain road.

" The moon blazed cruelly bright. The shouts and savage yells drew nearer and nearer. On one side of her was the steep slope of the mountain, down which b!io dared not venture with her boy ;on the other eido the rough wall that, while it marked the way, shut out all chance of escape for her on that side. She ran and ran, downhill now, so she gained on her pursuers. At last came a Hap; sho might creep into tho shallow of the wall perhaps—for run farther she could not. And now -by Heaven's mercy—came a thick black cloud. Sim thing herself over tho opening slipped—rolled. Tho thin crust of snow which covered a deep drain gave way, and sho fell in, witli a heavy mass of the snowbank crumbling down over her.

"How long sho lav she never knew. .11 seemed warm ami safe under the snoiv, and sho might have dosed her life away had not little Con stirred with a sharp pry like a little hurt bird. She, even in falling, had sheltered him instinctively, and he lay snug enough in his blankets till sonic molting snow chilled and woke him.

"She listened sharply all was still ; then drugged her aching, bruised limbs together and uhook herself clear of the snow. She scrambled somehow up tho bank and puopect around fearfully, then ventured to tho gap. The mad as far n« she cmld sou was utterly deserted ; so, trembling and faint with little Con wiiilinir at her breast, she .stumbled on, groping her way by the friendly wall till, arrived at tho barrack gate, sho had just life enough to givu one feeble call of ' Harry ! Harry !' boforo she sank an in sensible heap at tho feet of the astonished sentry.

" bive minutes moio and Hie was in safety. Barry -moved by I dou't know what foreboding of ill—had suddenly re solved to return that night at all hazards, and was mounting his horse in the barrack yard when his wife's voice reached his care. Ho waited to see her safo in the care of some of the friendly soldiers' wives and the regimental surgeon, and then joined the party that with Captain Fairfax were start ing for (llonduijj.

" lie walked tirst, tracking her poor halting little footprints through the snow — and told many a time after how his heart stood still when, at that gap in the rough stone wall they came upon a crowd of following steps that collected and dispersed within a yard of the spot where his wife and child lay concealed by the blessed snow.

"They reached Glenduig only to find the big turf stack slowly burning with a white reek in the grey light of dawn. His cattle had been driven from their stalls, maimed or killed out right ; his liiii- barn demolished, and when they reached hi* house door, they found it beaten in—thu poor girl Gracio lying face downwards on the doorstep, shot by mistake they supposed—and a threatening notico from "Ilory of the Hills" fastened with a knife to the doorpost.

" Barry looked his last that day on Glon duig. He gave up his land and took his wife back to her own people. Neither could think of their Irish days without a shudder for years to conio, and at last he accepted the offer of one of her relatives to join him in a business, and ended his days as a Lancashire millowncr."

Hero Roger's story came to an end ; but, I, womanlike, would still know more.

" What had tho O'Neils done, Roger ?"

" How can I tell ? They never knew. Paid the rent, or refused to join some black guardly secret brotherhood most likely."

"What became of tho baby?" I asked, like "the Cheshire Cat."

" The baby is our senior Major, and goes to Ireland in command of the regiment next Friday .'"—From "Temple Bar."

DISCOVERY OF INFERNAL MACHINES.

Attempts on Two London Stations.

(Fkom ol'b London Coruespondkn't. )

Scarcely had the excitemont consequent on the explosion at Victoria Station commenced to die away than two other attempts to cause death and destruction at our great London Railway Stations came to light. Tho Fenians are evidently hard at work, and, what is worse, tho detective police seem entirely unable to cope with them. Tho discoveries at Charing Cross and Padding ton appear to have come about quite accidentally. On tho evening of the 27th the clerk of tho cloak-room at the former station was moving the left luggage about and checking parcels, when his attention was aroused by a strange ticking noise that emanated from a heavy black bag on one of the counters. Recalling the circumstances of the explosion at Victoria, the youth's suspicions were aroused, and he sent in a hurry for the policeman in charge of the station. The bag was then opened, and it was found to contain a box, carefully and closely sealed up on all sides. Next the police authorities were communicated with, and, though no particular alarm seems to have been felt at first, it was decided to open the box itself, due precautions bein X taken, The reaulfc was the discovery that

within this carefully-closed receptacle wcro a clock nf llio American alarum pattern, a pistol, and several layers of a substance that was subsequently found to be dynamite, of which I here was about 201!) in all. The case and its contents were conveyed In Woolwich yesterday morning, and there examined by Colonel Majcndie, who pro nounced the dynamite lo be of American manufacture. The clock was attached lo tho pistol before-mentioned, so that on tin: hammer coming down on the cartridge it would be lired. The clock seem- to have worked perfectly, but, the cartridge, though il had been struck, .lid not explode, and thus prevented what muni otherwise have proved a fearful calamity -. for the bag containing the machine was left in the eloak-r on the evening of Monday, and, (he clockwork being sol to run for four hours, tho explo sion most probably would have laken place before midnight, while there were yet many people in (lie station. Kvcn, however, had that, place itself been deserted, it N so closely surrounded with hotels anddwolling houses that, had tho explosion laken place, the loss of life must: inevitably have been very serious.

There is no doubt that the outrages were (he work of tho same persons, who had hoped to bring about three horrible explosions on Monday night instead of one. It is stated that t he police had been warned by a man described as a foreigner that an attempt was to be made to blow up Charing Cross Station, but littlo heed was paid to the circumstance, so many similar communications having recently been made to the police authori ties

it has been ascertained Unit the timepiece stopped exactly at three minutes pust four Wliothor the explosion was intended to occur at that hour or earlier is n matter ot oonjecturo, as tlie clock may have continued running after the haminor fell. The pro bability is that it was timed to go oil'simul taneously with the oxploaion at Victoria Station early on the Tuesday morning bo fcwoun twelve and one o'clock. By search injr the books at the parcelsollice, and com paring t.ho number past eel on the bag by tho booking clerk with the numbers in the book, it has been absolutely ascertained that the bag was deposited shortly beforo seven o'clock on Monday evening. The clock w/is set to ({() in any position, and therefore thcro was no need for tho dyna mitard to tnve instructions -which ho did not— for the bag to be placed on any par ticular side, and during tho two days that the bii{; has been in the cloak-room it has been frequently moved to make room for other parcels. Tho cloak-room is situated in the western portion of the block of build ings failing into tho Strand, and extends tho whole width of tho premises, the upper Iloors of which form part of the Charing Cross Hotel. It is a long narrow apartment, and on throe sides— west, north, and east it is bounded by wills of unusual solidity, their thickness being in no place less than '2ft., while at some points they extend to 4ft. Parallel to the cloak-room on the western side runs the nrchway through which conveyances make their exit from the station, and eastward is the passage devoted to the exit of foot pas senders. The thick walls described are pierced on the west with three windows, anil on the north with a similar aperture, otherwise there voukl not be a weak point in thoir structure. At the southern end of tho apartment, where the business is trans acted, a wooden erection which abuts upon the platform is the only protection. Imme diately above the cloak-room is a suite of incut, and on the door above that are situated three suites of rooms belonging to tin; hold, one ol them being it) the occupa tion of Colonel Surtees, a director of the South Kastern Hailway. Had the dyna mite exploded, its greatest force would un doubtedly have been felt ill the station it self, although the rooms above must also have snil'el'cd covertly. The booking otlico to the east and tlw station-master's rooms to the west would have been protected to some extent by the solid masonry, but the cellars below used for tho storage of lager beer must have been wrecked. The officials of the (ioverninent who have inquired into the case have come to the conclusion that the explosion at the Victoria Station was tho work of the same hand which designed the plot at Charing Cross,and some even go further, and state that the explosions of Oct :!0 last at Praed-strcot and West minster were due to the same agency. In the Praod-street case sonic pieces of tin were found embedded in the wall where tho explosion had fractured tho brick-work, and at Victoria Station similar fragments of tin have been found among tho tlrbri.t corresponding to the quality of the tin case found at Charing Cross.

When tho discovery was made at Charing Cross tho Scotland Yard authorities at once communicated to the other railway stations advising caution in dealing with any sus picious packages left at the cloak-rooms. Among other places, notice was sent to the Great Western Terminus at Paddington. Mr Hart, who had early on Tuesday in spected the ruins of tho Victoria Station, and had made up his mind that the source of tho mischief was dynamite, had on his return given special instructions to his staff to oxerciso the utmost care in taking in parcels. On receipt of the intelligence from Scotland Yard, ho immediately ob tained a list of all the packages and parcels deposited in the cloak-room on Monday, which had not been claimed. There wore but live or six loft over, and he at once pro ceeded to examine them. The third or fourth article handed to him was a .small ordinary portmanteau, about 15in long and llin high, which he lifted to test its weight, and then, thinking it very heavy for its size, he gave instructions for it to be opened. The straps were unfastened, and it was then discovered to bo looked. Fortunately, among his keys lie found one that fitted, and on unlocking tho bag he came upon somo cakes of a yellowish tint, which one of the men described as looking very like soap. They wero about f>in long by 2Jin broad, and about half an inch in t'lickness. Ho did not recognise them as dynamite, and had no misgivings until a further inspection re vealed an ordinary black japanned tin cash box. This, when oponod, contained an American metalled clock with white face, of the class that are sold at about six or seven shillings apiece Firmly attached to tbis clock was a small pistol, tho whole being packed close with cakes of dynamite above described. The muzzle of the pistol pointed to about eight or ten detonators, which would have been fired when the pistol exploded. In all there were a little over forty cakes of dynamite, weighing in the aggregate about 21b, a little more, both m number and in weight, than had been discovered at. Charing Cross. Mr Hart observed that tho clock had stopped at ten minutes past nine, and lie immediately placed the whole apparatus in the charge of ono or two officials, and hurried off to Scotland Yard with tho news. He informed Mr Hart that tho com pound was of tho most destruc tivo and deadly character, and that the buildings had had a miraculous and providential escape. Tho cloak-room where the parcel was deposited is situated on tho departure platform, and is tho lower room of a building five stories high. The portmanteau was loft about half-past five on Monday, the very busiest portion of the day, as the express trains then starting are crowded with passengers, many of whom leave their coats, rugs, and bags in the morning, returning for them about this time. The attendant in charge remembers the portmanteau being brought in, but is not able to give a description of the man who left it with any degree of certainty. The name of Berry was given as tho owner of the potmanteau, and so far as he can , offer any opinion on the matter, he believes it was a thin, tall, dark man who handed him the article. The clock had stopped at ten minutes past nine, and Mr Hart is of opinion that, being a new one, it had not

been properly oiled, and that owing to thin j a great disaster had boon averted. When \{,\k considered that thews clocks arc con structed to go in any position, and that even after it had Htoppod how slight, a movement of the portmanteau would be necessary to set it: in motion, tho terrible risk run during the scvonty hours it was lying in tho ollico may bo easily conceived.

Home consternation was caused in the city about midday on the following Satur day (March Jst) by the report: that an infer nal machine, almost identical with those found at Charing Cross and I'addington on tho Wednesday and Thursday, had been discovered in the cloak-room at the Ludgatc hill Station of the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway. This, on inquiry, proved to be the case, and there can be no doubt that it was part of the plot planned for thu previous Monday night. At J-udgutc liill, as at the other chief railway stations of tho metropolis, the luggage deposited in the cloak-room dining 1 lie week was sub mitted to a close inspection under the per sonal supervision of the fitutvn-miister, when many of tho articles lying unclaimed were opened and their contents examined. Nothing was found of an explosive character. Tho cloak-room at Ludgate-hill Station is a very small and artificially lighted place under tho passage connecting the stairways from the booking-ollice with' the platforms. Here there is no room to stack the luggage properly, so that every article can be seen at a glance, and numerous packages have to be piled in heaps by the attendant, in ac cordance with the exigencies of the day's business. To this crowding it is probably owing that tho bag containing the infernal machine was overlooked when the examination was made. The station master, however, gave the attendants instructions that not only were they to insist on seeing the contents of any heavy or suspicious parcel before receiving it, but also to examine anything lying un claimed beyond the ordinary time. In look ing through the olfice at about ten o'clock on Saturday morning, tho porter in charge of tho cloak-room-Stephen Holland—ob served a now black leather Gladstone bag with dust upon it, showing that it had been t hero for some days. 'Die deposit label at tached was "No 80S," and a reference to the book with the counterfoil showed it to have been left on the evening of the pre vious Monday at about eight o'clock- On lifting tho bag, which was eighteen inches in length by nino inches deep, ho found it to weigh about twenty-six pounds, and at once resolved to open it. The only mnrk outside it was the remnant of a black and white label which had been pasted on the side, of which the capital letter 11 !/' was all that was decipherable. Holland succeeded in opening the lock with a key in his possession, when he dis covered what led him to decide not to pursue his investigation further single handed, but to send for his superiors and the police. At the top of the bag was the plate from the back of an American white metal clock, lying on a copy of '-The Standard " of February '22. Immediately below the newspaper were a number of Hat packages wrapped in thin oiled paper of a light brown tint, with labels on them, " Atlas powder," with the capital letter "A " underneath. Mr Bowman, the Station Superintendent, together with Inspector Pitney and a detective otliceF of the city police named Taylor, from th» Bridewell police-station, were speedily an the spot, and a further search showed there were forty-five pack ages of tho powder, a pair of pliers, and some portions of a clock, while in the centre was a tin box wrapped in a dirty-coloured cotton shirt, a white .lapan silk handker chief, and a coloured cotton handkerchief, with the name on it of Creenoy and Sons, Washington. The tin box having been re moved from tke vicinity of the other pack ages, the police and railway oiiicials went by cab to the Chief City Police Office in the Old Jewry, where they were received by Colonel Fraser, the Chief Commissioner, and Superintendent Foster. A telegram was sent to the Home Oth'ce acquainting Sir William llarcourt of the matter, and a messenger was also despatched to Colonel Majendie, her Majesty's Chief Inspector of Explosives, with the result that Colonel Ford drove down to the city directly, ar riving at the Police Ollico about a quarter to one. The instant that the machine was placed before tho Colonel he pronounced it to be a fac simile of those discovered at Charing Cross and Paddington. Without hesitation he opened the tin box, which was about live inches lone and four wide, by two and a half inches deep, and found it to contain an American clock with loaded pistol barrel attached, and two cakes of "Atlas Powder ' dynamite, one broken asunder and placed opposite tine muzzle of the pistol, with ten detonators in it. Pre cisely as was the ease at Charing Cross, the hammer of the pistol had fallen, but with out exploding the detonating cartridge in it. The clockwork arrangement was set for it to go off at about the same time as the others, at which the explosion at Vic toria Station actually occurred ; but after the cartridge missing tire the clock had run itself down.

An examination of the packets taken out showed them to be precisely the same quality of dynamite as that already found elsewhere, while the quantity, forty-seven cakes, weighed twenty-one and a quarter pounds, enough to have caused terrible destruction. A further search through the contents of the bag showed a direct connec tion between this attempted outrage and that at Paddington, as amongst the articles was tho back taken from tho clock found at tho latter place, and the labels torn off the forty-two packages of dynamite used there, which it will bo romei ibered were missing. Tn tho tin box and round the dynamite was a piece of quick-match, a yard and a half in length. After detaching tho explosives from tho clockwork, and drawing tho charge of tho pistol, Colonel Ford had the dyna mite sent to tho Home Office Magazine at Woolwich, and took away the machinery with him for tho use of the authorities. The powder magazines in which the three lots of dynamite have been deposited are situated in an isolated portion of Plumstead Marshes, and aro placed in telegraphic com munication with tho Royal Arsenal, whilst they are protected by a strong military guard. Had the dynamite gone offin the Ludgate hill cloak-room, the results would have t>een far more serious than was the case with that which actually exploded at Victoria Station. Instead of the surroundings being of a light lath and plaster character, with a roof with a quantity of glass in it, they are all of the most solid nature. The cloak-room is under the stairway leading to the platforms, which aro built on arches. Opposite the cloak-room, and fronting it, is the booking office; on the right is the first-class refresh ment buffet of Messrs Spiers and Pond, whilo on either side and to the rear are other waiting rooms and a smoking room belonging to tho refreshment contractors An explosion at any time about midnight, when there are always a number of passen gers returning from the theatres to the suburbs on the platforms and in the wait ing-rooms, must have had terrible results.

Mr Ruekin says, "What was beautiful yesterday is beautiful to-day." There are exceptions, Mr Ruskin. A young man who took his girl to the opera one night re cently thought she was the personification of beauty. Next day he made an early call and found her attired in a faded calico dress, dilapidatedslippers,andherown hair'; and— well—

She wears finest diamonds and laces. And is worth half a million, thoy say; Her set socialistic embraces The faßhion and wealth of tho day; Her face is a model of beauty— Her praises are sung o'er and o'er; But what are her health and her booty. When a foghorn can't equal her snore ?

COLLIS BROWNE'S CHLORODYNE, THE ORIGINAL AND ONLY GENUINE. Advice to Invalids If you wish to obtain quiet, refreshing sleep, free from headache, relief from pain and anguish, to calm and assuage the weary achings of protracted disease, invigorate the nervous media, and regulate the circulating systems of the body, you will provide yourself with that marvellous remedy discovered by Dr. J. Collis Browne (Late Army Medical Staff), to which he gave the name of CHLORODYNE, and which is admitted by the profession to be the most wonderful and valuable remedy ever discovered. CHLORODYNE is the best remedy known for Coughs, Consumption, Bronchitis, Asthma. CHLORODYNE acts like a charm in I Diarrhcea. and is the only specific in Cholera and Dysentery. CHLORODYNE effectually cuts short all attacks of Epilepsy, Hysteria, Palpitation, and PCHLORODYNE is the only pallative in Neuralgia. Rheumatism, Gout, Cancer, Tooth ache, Meningitis, &c. From Svmes & Co.. Pharmaceutical Chemists, Medical Hall Simla, January 5,1580. To J. T. Davenport, Esq., 33, Great Russell-street, Bloorusbury, London. Dear Sir,—Wo embrace this opportunity of congratulating you upon the widespread reputation this justly esteemed medicine, Dr J. Collis Browno's Chlorodyni'.has earned for itself, not only in Hindostan, l,ui all over tho East. As a remedy of general utility, we much question whether a bettor is imported into the country, and we shall be glad to hear of its finding a place in every Anglo-Indian home. The other brands, we are happy to say, a:e now relegated to the native bazaars,and judgiti? from their sale, we fancy their sojurn there will be but evanescent We could multiply instances ad infinitum of the extraordinary eflicaey of Dr. Collis Browne's Chlorodyne in Diarrhoea and Dysentry, Spasms, Cramps, Neuralgia, tho Vomiting of Pregnancy, and as a general seda tive, that havo occurred under our personal observation during many years. In Choleraic Diarrhcea and even more terrible forms of Cholera itself, we have witnessed its surprising controlling power. We have never used any other form of this medicine than Collis Browne s from a firm conviction that it is decidedly the best, and also from a sense of duty we owe to the profession and the public, as we are of opinion that the substitution of any other than Collis Browne's is A deliberate breach of faith ON* THE PART OP THE CHEMIST TO PUESCRIBER and patient ALiKK. We are, Sir, faithfully yours, Symes & Co., Members of the Phar. Society of Great Britain, His Excellency the Viceroy's Chemists. Sold In bottlos at Is ljd, 2s 9d, 4s 6d, and 11s each.

The value of this well-known Family Medicine has been largely tested in all parts of the world, and by all grades of society, for upwards of fifty tears. IU well-earned extensive sale has induced spurious imitations, some of which in outward appeabancb so closely resemble the original as to have deceived many purchasers. The proprietor, therefore, feels it due to the publio to give a special caution against the use of such imitations. Purchasers are therefore requested carefully to observe the four following distinctive char acteristics, without which none are genuine :— Ist—ln every case tho words John Steed man, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, are en graved on the Government Stamp affixed to each packet. 2nd—Each Single Powder has directions for the dose, and the words John Steedman, Chemist, Walworth, Surrey, printed thereon. 3rd—The name Steedman is always spelt with two EE's. 4th—The manufacture Is carried on solely in Walworth, Surrey.
