"Senor," says Dawson, "I know not how I am to play this part of a sea captain when we are sent on board an English ship, fur if they ask me any questions on this business of navigating I am done for a certainty." "Rest easy on that score, Evans," replies tho don. "I will answer for you, for I see very clearly by your complexion that you will soou be past answering them yourself."

Much encouragement is felt hereabouts regarding iihe picking up of the coal trade. Although the effect of the rise in New York prices is not practically noticed here, It has a strong tendeucy toward the restoration of confidence in all circles. In many oases the winter sales have all been contracted and the dealers here will not be benefited by the Improvement in prices. The fact that one of the biggest coal deals in our local hlttjry has been consummated the past week is a guarantee of • change for the better. Reference is made to the purchase of coal property by Mr. O. 3. Johnson from John Jermyn. The tract iooludee about 900 at.«s and is one of the most valuable in the valley. The price paid was $450,000 on the terms of $200,000 down. I„ in under*tood that Mr. Jermyn. das no* made much in the deal as h!s expenses on the property have been enormous. Mr. Johnson is a brother-in-law of Congressman Soranton and is one of the heaviest operators in this region. He Is » man of charming personality and mush nobilty of oharac er. His charities are farreaching and munificent. He lives at the Wyoming when in this city, where his business keeps him mnoh of the time. CHAPTER XIII. —us letting the goats loose, shaking lemons down on our heads as we lay asleep beiloath the tree, and the like. Being greatly smitten with the appearance of the Moorish women (who, though they are not permitted to wander about at will like our women, are yet suffered to fetch water from the pnblic fountains), she surprised us oue morning by coming forth dressed in their mode. And this dress, which seems to be naught but a long sheet wound loosely twice or thrice about the body, buckled on the shoulder, with holes far the arms to be put through in  iHif of the old Ureoks, became her eurprisi'agly, Lid w6 noticed then for the first time that her arms were rounder and fuller than when we had last seen them hare. Then, to get the graceful, noble bearing of the Moors, she practiced day after day by carrying a pitcher of water on her head, as they do, until she could do this with perfect ease and sureness. In this habit whj was mightily pleased with her looks, took her to the house of his friend and employer, Sidi ben Ahmed, where she ingratiated herself so greatly with the women of his household that they would have her come to them again the next day, and after that the next—indeed, thenceforth she spent far more of her time with these pew friends thaq wittf us. And here, from the necessity of making herself understood, together with an excellent memory and a natural aptitude, she learned to speak the Moorish tongue in a marvelously short space of tima Dawson and I were frequently asked to accompany Moll, and we went twice to this house, which, though nothing at all to look at outside, was very magnificently furnished within, and the entertainment most noble. But, Lord, 'twas the most tedious, wearisome business for us, who oould make out never a word of the civil speeches offered us without the aid of Don Sanchez and Moll, and then could think of no witty response, but could only sit there grinning like Gog and Magog. Still it gave us vast pleasure to see how Moll carried herself with this company, talking as freely as they, yet holding'herself with tlie dignity of an equal, and delighting all by her vivacity and shy, pretty ways. The surprising activity with which we attacked our domestic business at Elche lifted about two (lays and a half, Dawson laboring at his shed, I at the cultivation C Df the garden and Moll quitting her cooking and household affairs, as occasion permitted, to lend a helping hand first to her father and then to me.

Then when we were near enough to the foremast to see her English flag and the men aboard standing to their deck guua for a defense, our old Moor $r$& a gun in the air, takes in bis sails and runs up a grpat white flag for a sign of peace. And now with shrewd hMe a boat was lowered, mid wp were 6et in it with a p#lr of Oitrs, and the old pirate, bidding us farewell in his tongue, olapped on all sail and stood out before the wind, leaving us thCyo to shift for ourselves.

"He is a good, honest, simple man, and I think wo may answer for his accepting the conditions we make for ourselves, Then, with some reasonable guarantee for our future payment"— "That may bo contrived to our common satisfaction, I hope," says Moll, with a grivcious smile. "I owe you half my estate; share my house at Chiselhurst with me till the rest is forthcoming. That will givo mo yet a little longer the pleasure of your company. And there, sir," turning to me, "you can examine mv steward's accounts for your own satisfaction, and counsel me mayhap upon the conduct of my affairs, knowing so much upon matters of business that are incomprehensible to a simple, inexperienced girl. Then, should you find aught amiss in my steward's books, anything to shake your confidence in his management, you will, in justice to your friends, in kindness to me, speak your mind oponlv, that instant reformation may bo iaado." Don Sanchez and I expressed our agreement to this proposal, and Moll, turning to the poor, unhappy steward, says in her high tone of authority: "You hear this matter is ordered, Simon, Take up that purse for your own uses. Go into tho town and send such tradesmen hither a« may supply us with proper clothing. Then to your goldsmith in London and bring me hack £600.

Nothing oan be farther from the truth. Mr. Oonnell has a fiery temper, but his wrath goon cools and he has the most forgiving and tne gentlest nature In the world. He oan no more hold a grudge against a man year after year than he oould burn down Elm Park Uhuroh, his pride and delight. He does sometimes get thoroughly exasperated with his old-time political enemy, and frequently declares with emphasis, "I'-n done with him now; this is the last time I am ever going to help him." But somehow, as the months roll on, he forgets the disturbance and Is again ready to adopt a peace and harmony programme. Candidly, I believe the two men, down deep in their hearts, have a genuine respect, if not a sort of afieetlon for each other, jast because they are both such good fighters. I don't imagine they would have had snch an intermittent feud all these years had it not been for oertain officious persons who were friends of neither "boss" but who, in the hope of being with the winner, have acted as tale bearers and kept the two ttlrred up by a sort of contemptible "walking delegate" process. As it is, Mr. Connell declares 'hat he would have no trouble with "Joe" if only "Joe" didn't insist upon having all the pie himself. Then the captain of the Talbot and his officers, gathering about us, wero mighty curious to know our story, and Don Sanchez very briefly told how we had gone in the Red Rose of Bristol to Agent Thomas F. Burke, of Upper Pittstin, who perhaps has tae l»rg»st local steamship bn-luess, told the Notes a d Comments man an Interesting ttoty of the oontest. The original cause of the t rouble was the alleged Intrusion of the Eogtlsh lines into what was regarded as the natural territory of the Continental lines. The latter made no tfifjrt to get steerage business from the brltish domain, and they considered taat the English lines ought no to make any eff Drt to get business from tie continent The English lines did not agree to this reasoning, and the cutthroat policy followed The steerage tariffs were tho only ones affected, and thesa were cut and slashed as never before known. The regular steerage pass age rate between New York and the British seaports had been $25, and between New York and C ji.tiuental ports, such as Bremen, Hamburg, Antwerp and Rotterdam, from $35 to $&) When the quarrel between tha steamship linae broke out the steerage rate between N-w York and anj pa t of Great Britain was, by one cut, reduced to 110, and to the Continental seapoita to $13 "Why, we may be blows with a vengeance, if he come ferreting sr Ciigh as that," says Dawson, "and we eie like to rot in jail for oar pains." The poor man in pocket, and bringing out o, purse laid it open, iome four or five pieces of silver and one of sold, which he hastily covewi with his hand.

John McDonnell, atCed 26, of Dunmore. who ia po&eeesed of the hallucination that he is the Rev Kichard H Walsh, of Moeoow, Is confined in the 8cranton police sta'ion. About a week ago, says the 3cratt)n Tribune, McDonnell left home and went to Tobyhanna. When he arrived he was travel stained and daaty, and excited not a little suspicion when he registered as Father Walsh. H* left with out paying, and then It dawned upon the proprietor that the man was crazy. Me- DCDunell left Tobyhanna and went to MoeD cow. Arriving at the parochial reaidenoe he Informed the servant that admitted him that he had come to tike possesion of the house and the church. The matter was not debated in the haste with which the servant felt it incumb nt upon herself to made good her escape. Father Walsh tried to put him off without occasioning any but Mc- Donnell was convinced taat he was right and would listen to no overtures. Seeing tbat he had a lunatic to deal with, the privet imuaedlat ly swore out a warrant. "Six—hundred—pauiaisl" cries he, hardly above bis breath, and with a pause between each word as if to gain strength to speak 'em, The don hunched his shoulders.

"I am astonished," says Moll, returning from the door and Simon, witij IfuWa upon her brow, "that $ou are not better furnished to supply my want*, knowing by my letter how I stand." I think no ooqntry in Europe can be richer than this Elclie in fruits and vegetation, more beautiful in its surrounding aspects of plain and mountain, more blessed with constant, glorious sunlight, and the effect of these charms upon the quick, receptive spirit of our Moll was like a gentle May upon a nigtitLfiguiti, so that the days were all too short for her enjoyment, and she must need vent her happiness in song. But on us they made no more impression than on two owls in a tower, but if anything they did add to that weariness which arose from our lack of occupation. For here was no contrast in our lives, one day being as Jiko another as two peas in a pod, and haying no sort of adversities to givp savor to our ease we found existence the most flat, insipid, dull thing possible. I remember how, on Christmas day, Dawson did cry out against the warm sunshine aB a thing contrary to nature, wishing he might stand up to his knees in snow in a whistling vyiud, and taking" tip the And here, lest it should be thought that Moll could not possibly play her part so admirably in this business, I do protest that I have set down no more than I recollect, and that without exaggeration. Further, it must be observed that iu our common experience many things happen which would seem incredible but for tho evidence of our senses and which no poet would have the hardihood to represent. 'Tin true that in this, as in other more surprising particulars to follow, Moll did suriiass all ■oommon womeu, but 'tis only such extraordinary persons that furnish material for any history. And I will add that anything is possible to one who hath the element of greatness m her composition, and that it depends merely on the aoo;dent of circumstjunces whether a Moll Dawson becomes a great saint or a great sinner—a blessing or a curse to humanity. But that which iinbittered us as much as anything was to have Moll holding her nid«Ds fur laughter at onr attempts to catch these two devilish goats, which to our cost, wo found were not so feeble after all, for getting one up in a comer she rain* herself up on her hind legs and brings her skull down with such q Htiiuek on my knee that I truly thomght she had broken my cramp baae, while t'other, taking Dawson in tha ankles with hir horns as he was reaching forward to lay hold of her, lay him sprawling in our little stieam of water. Nor do I think we should ever have captured them but that, giving over our endeavor* from sheer fatigue, they of their own aixxjrd sauntered into the shed for shelter from the sun, where Moll clapped to the do.* upon them and set her back against the gap in the side until her father came with a hammer and some stout nails to secure the planks. So for the rest of that day Jack and I lay on our backs in the shade doing nothing, Ijui D-Kot**iiugiy s»irn one against the Miter for these mischances. "Why, to be sure," says Dawson; "that way all hangs together to a nicety. For only a wizard oould dream of coming hither for our undoing." "For tho rest," continues the don thoughtfully, "there is Vtfte '*9 few Judith Godwiq Ctyee the color of jkfoJVa, and In all else Simon must expect to find a change since he last saw his master's daughter. They were in Italy three years. That would make Judith a lisping child when she left England. He must look to find her Why," adds he i$ $ piare gentle yokxi. as if by some inner feeling of affection and admiratipp, podding toward Moll, "see how she has changed in this little while. I should not know her for the raw, half starved spindle of a tiling she was when I saw her first praying in the barn at Tottenham Cross," 1 "Mistress," replies he humbly, "hero is all I could raise upon such sudden notice," laying his purse before her. This story was accepted without any demur; nay, Captain Ballcock, being one of those men who must ever appear to know all things, supported it i« many doubtful particulars, saying that he of Bristol quite well ; that he himself had seen a whole ship's grew sold into slavery for no greater offoHPe than breaking a mosque window; that the duke's pass counted for nothing with these Turks; that he knew the galley we were brought in as well as he knew Paul's church, having chased It a dozen times, yet never got within guhshot for her swifij sailing, eto., which did, £mch content us to hear. But the officers were mighty curious to know what ailed Captain Robert Evans (meaning Dawson), fetu-ing he might be ill of the plague. However, on the don's vowing that he was only sick of a surfeit, Captain Ballcock declared he had guessed it the moment he clapped eyes on £tm, as he himself had been taken of the same complaint with only eating a dish of pease pudding, Nevertheless be ordered the sick man to be laid in a part of the ship farthest from his quarters, and bo great was the dread of pestilence aboard that (as his sickness continued) not a soul would venture near him during the whole voyage except ourselves, which also Cell to very well with our wishes.! And so after a fairly prosperous voyage we came Tip the Thames to Chatham the thirc\ day of August. "What is this?" cries she, emptying tho contents, pppu the table. M 'Tis yothiUg.

Every steamer leaving New York for Bremen, Hamuurg, Antwerp or Rotterdam, called at Qaeenstown an Liverpool, and thus the trade of the English lines was bbeorb.d to no small exteat The Eaglish liuee furiously retaliated and offered such inducements to the Continental trade as filled their ships to overfl Dwiug on every trip.
