A BAMBOULA.

Francis Underwood glanced about him az the train whizzed away, leaving him

} the sole oceupant of the narrow platform

upon which he had alighted. His small er luggage lay at his feet, but his travel. ling-trunk was nowhere in sight. The few idlers—a couple of sallow-faced, shock-headed crackers and a squad of noisy negro lads—who had collected about the little way-station while the train made its momentary halt had dis appeared. He walked to the end of the platform, where a dozen or more turpen- tine barrels stood on end, their contents oozing from the rifts in their sun-warped sides, and cast his eyes over the green flat, which was bounded in every direc- tion by low, red, pine-clad hills. The dim haze of an early autumn afternoon hung in the pine-tops ; a thin spiral of smoke arose from the chimney of the single cabin within range of vision ; a rickety bagsy over whose sagging top fluttered the loose end of a woman's veil, was just turning the distant bend of the road. There was no other visible signs of life. The perplexed traveller strode back to the dingy waiting room and looked in. The tripping click of the telegraph in the cubby beyond and a familiar opening in the thin partition indicated the occasional presence at least of aperator and agent But the indivi- dual who combined these two functions was in momentary eclipse.

Underwood thrust his hands into his pockets and meditated, frowning im- patiently. ;

‘“* De telegraph is boun’ fer ter clickety- click, sah,” said a voice over hisshoulder ; **she jes keep on er-talkin’ ter herse’f in

ander same ez ef de boss was ‘longside er ter write her down.”

The young map turned quickly and found himself face to face with a negro, who held a carriage whip in one hand, and in the other his own bag, top coat, and umbrelia.

**Seuse me, sah,” the speaker continu- ed,” removing his hat, ‘‘I reckin you mus’ be Mist’ Onderwood ?”

Underwood nodded assent.

“*Dey’s lookin’ fer you at Pine Needles, Mist’ Onderwood. Step dis way, sah. Yo’ trunk is gone on in de cyart. But I ain’ been able ter fetch up de cay’rge ontwel de ingine top her fool screechin,’ ‘caze my hosses is kinder res’less.”

He led the way as he spoke toa light trap, which had been driven up noise- lessly, and was waiting near the steps of the low platform.

Underwood settled inimself comfort- ably on the cushioned seat, and turned a gaze of wonderiag admiration on his conductor, who stood with a hand on the o- flank of one of the horses, respect-

lly awaiting orders. He was himself of unusual height, slenderly proportion- ed, but with an atheletic frame and well- knit muscles, which contradicted a rather boyish face, laughing blue eyes, and a sensitive mouth, whose weakness was not wholly concealed by a light drooping mustache. But he seemed suddenly dwarfed. The negro towered like a giant above the tall mulatto who held the bridles of the horses. His large head, crowned with abush of crisp wiry curls, was set squarely upon shoulders of enormous th. Underwood exam- ined almost with awe‘the broad chest and massive limbs ; the latter were straight and wel! formed ; the powerful wrist, indeed, and the hand, with its long fingers, perfect nails, and outward curv- ing palm, might have served for a sculp- tor’s model. He was jet-black. His square-jawed face was beardless. His long brown eyes had the melancholy softness characteristic of his race, the lips were thick, and the cheek-bones prominent, but the nose was straight and shapely, giving a curious und unexpect- ed dignity toan otherwise typical negro physiognomy. He spoke the uncouth patois of the quarters, but his bearing was one who held a position of trust and confidence. ’

He was clad inasort of homely livery of dark blue flannel—a blouse, whose open collar e hig full throat, and loose trousers held in at the waist by a broad leather belt.

Underwood wayed his hand as he con- cluded his brief, nalf-unconscious inspec- tion, and the black colossus took a seat beside him, the mulatto stepped aside, and the handsome bays sprang forward at the loosening of the reins. The road wound gradually up long sloping hills, dipping now and then into a moist hol- low, where the stu

lithe figure outlined by the pale glimmer of her gown. One hand, which held a cluster of vivid red leaves, hung at her side; the other was arched above her brows as she leaned forward in a listen- ing attitude. As they whirled past, Underwood caught the gleam of a bare tawny wrist and the glow of a pair of large lustrous eyes.

“Who was that?” he demanded, abruptly. :

“S'lome,” responded his companion, with affected indifference. ‘‘She Miss Cecil's own maid,” he added, after a pause.

“1 thought at first that it was Miss Cecil herself,” said Underwood, glancing back over his shoulder.

“S'‘lome do look lak—” the negro checked himself and averted his face, flecking Dandy’s arched neck with the whip-tassel. :

Something in his tone struck the young man at his side; he drew the lap- robe closer about his knees, for the air was growing chill, and remained silent until Marcus sprang to the ground to open the boundary gate of Pine Needles, Miss Cecil Berkeley's fine old country place

‘How old are you, Marc?” he asked, atruck anew by the negro’s noble physi- cal proportions.

“Twenty-five come Christmas, sah. Bawn jes inside o’ freedom. Hit’s mighty liftin' ter be bawn free an’ ter be raise’ up free, Mist’ Onderwood,” he went on, resuming his seat and taking the reins from Underwood's hands. ‘But my ole daddy ‘ain’ had no call ter complain while he was a slave.”

«‘Where—” began Underwood.

“My daddy was an Affican prince—” the fine nostrils dilated and the broad chest heaved. ‘Colonel Berkeley bought him out'n a slave-pen in Charl’s’n, wher he was dyin’ lak a dog, an’ fotch him home. An’ fum dat day twel de day he died he had the treatments of a genter- man at Pine Needles. Dere wan't a drap o’ blood in his body dat he wouldn't ha’ spill’ fer de Berkeleys!

crook through the dark mould on the sheltered slopes. The hill-sides were brown with pine needles. The sky, in the waning sunlight, was a fine soft purple ; the plumy tops of the lofty pines seemed to melt into it far overhead ; the warm air was charged with aromatic odors. Underwood bared his head, and expanded his lungs with an idle sense of well-being. His ve followed dreamily the flight ofa hawk across the sky. A faint smiled curved his lips.

** Dar’s a Molly Cotton-Tail !” sudden- ly exclaimed the negro. A rabbit sped across the road a few paces in front of the horses and scurried up a ridge, her gray ears laid back and her white bit of atailinthe air. ‘‘ Dat’s bad luck, Mist’ Onderwood !”

Underwood recalled a half forgotten superstition. ‘‘Not for me,” he said, gaily. ‘‘I carry a rabbit foot in my pocket ! What is your name—boy ?” he continued, stumbling over the last word, quizzically conscious of its inappro- priateness.

‘ Marcas, sah,” retmrned the “‘ boy,” sromptly. ‘‘Dey calls me Bluegum Mare,” he added, with a side glance at the questioner; and a suppressed chuckle.

* Blue gum Marc?” echoed Under- wood, interrogatively.

The giapt opened his mouth, drawing back his thick lips, and pointed signifi- cantly to a double row of glistening white teeth, set in gums of a dark leaden blue. ** Dat’s de reason, sah,” he said lightly.

WERE SUSPICIOUS.

It Was Only a Girl’s Handkerchief, but All Were Afraid of It.

It lay on the sidewalk near the en- trance to the bank. The eirl with the brown fedora stopped and looked at it She was going to pick it up, but her mother interfered, says a writer in the Chicago Tribune.

“Don't you know any better,” she said, “than to doa thing like that?”

“I don’t see why I shouldn’t,” re- monstrated the girl. ‘‘It’s made of the finest linen and lace, and would be a creditable addition to anybody's stock of handkerchiefs. Somebody’ll take it in a minute.”

“Let them,” said the elder woman, | decisively. ‘You're not going to. You don’t know who had it. It may be full of germs for all we know.”

They had been standing still in the middle of the pavement looking fixedly atthe dainty white trifle, and by the time the mother had impressed upon the young woman's mind the indis- cretion of an act that might result in assoctation with germs, quite a crowd had gathered around to find out what the attraction was. A fat Irishman was the fifth person to arrive onthe scene, and he, too, seemed actuated by a desire to possess the handkerchief. He stooped over until his fingers were »vut an inch or two above it, then, looking up suddenly, he encountered the suspicious glances of the bystanders and concluded he would rather not.

The crowd grew momentarily larger.

‘What's the matter here?” asked the policeman, who had been called over from the opposite corner,

For answer the Irishman pointed to the handkerahief.

The policeman bent forward ginger- ly and was about to turn the suspici- ous looking handkerchief with the end of his club. The crowd drew back to insure personal safety in case anything should happen.

“Oh, here it is!” she cried, excitedly, “I was so afraid I wouldn't findit. I just bought it last week,” she explained to the policeman. ‘‘It cost $15,”

“Now,” said the girl in the brown fedora, “don’t you wish you had let me alone?”

Breakfast at Headquarters,

After the officers at headquarters had obtained what sleep they could get, they arose about daylight, feeling that in all probability they would wit- ness before night cither a fight ora foot-race—a fight if the armies encoun- tered each other, a foot-race to secure good positions if the armies remained apart,

General Meade had started south at dawn, moving along the Germanna road, General Grant intended to re- main in his present camp till Burnside arrived, in order to give him some directions in person regarding his movements. The general sat down to the breakfast-table after nearly all the staff-officers had finished their morn- ing meal. While he was slowly sip- ping his coffee, a young newspaper re- porter, whose appetite, combined with his spirit of enterprise, had gained a substantial victory over his modesty, slipped up to the table, took a seat at the farther end, and remarked, ‘‘ Well, I wouldn’t mind taking a cup of some- thing warm myself, if there’s no ob- jection.” Thereupon seizing a coffee- pot, he poured out a full ration of that soothing army beverage, and, after helping himself to some of the other dishes, proceeded to eat breakfast with an appetite which had evidently been stimulated by long hours of fasting.

The general paid no more attention to this occurrence than he would have paid to the flight of a bird across his path. He scarcely looked at the in- truder, did not utter a word at the time, and made no mention of it after- ward. It wasa fair sample of the im- perturbability of his nature as to trivial matters taking place about him.—“‘Campaigning with Grant,” by General Horace Porter, in the Cen- tury.

The Scene of the Battie of the Wilderness.

A little tothe east of the cross-roads stood the old Wilderness tavern, a de- serted building surrounded by a rank growth of weeds, and partly shutin by trees. A few hundred yards to the west, and in the northwest angle formed by the two intersecting roads, wasa knoll from which the old trees had been cut, and upon which was a second growth of scraggy pine, serub- oak, and cther timber. The knoll was high enough to afford a view for some little distance, but the outlook wag limited in all directions by the almost impenetrable forest with its interlacing trees and tangled undergrowth. The ground upon which the battle was fought was intersected in every direc- tion by winding rivulets, rugged ravines, and ridges of mineral rock, Many excavations had been made in opening iron-ore beds, leaving pits bordered by ridges ofearth. Trees had been felled in a number of places to furnish fuel and supply sawmills. The locality is well described by its name, It was a wilderness in the most for- bidding sense of the word.—Century,

Combined Tube Scraper and Brush,

A combined tube-scraper and brush has been designed for cleaning the tubes of marine, locomotive, water- tube and land boilers, sanitary and other pipes, etc. The special points of this device are that, being made with acircular spring, it bears a uniform and easy pressure on the walls of tubes, and travels parallel ; it sharpens itself; it will not open up a weld in any tube; it is adjustable, and not liable to break or weaken the spring; it is fitted with circular steel and asbestos brushes, which enable boiler tubes to be cleaned under steam, no other brush being re- quired ; andit willclear out ali scale from boiler tubes of years’ standing and expose the surface of the tube to the flame, thereby saving much fuel.
