Some time daring the in­ terim from Friday night to Monday morning some person or persons bad smashed in one of the windows, en­ tered the building, tore the teacher’s register in two and threw it in the atove, destroyed many of the school books, broke up slates, pens and pen­ cils, carried away the teacher’s bell and clock, and raised Ned generally. There are but faint clues to the per­ petrators of the deed, but the supposi­ tion is that they were bummers coming home fiom Nashville loaded to the muzzle with liquiddevitry. Penholders and pencils were found in the road east of the school house, from which it xs inferred that they went in that flirtation.

The stage and gallery were both crowd­ ed, and the floor was filled with the maskers, all of whom, were well gotten up, but few being recognizable in their disguises.XTaken altogether, they pre­ sented a merry party, and many ludi­ crous mistakes resulted from inability to recognize one’s friends. C. W. Smith, who was one of the maskers, and was scanning the spectators for Mrs. S., whom he thought was among them was greatly surprised at being accosted by a 'young girl shortly after unmasking, when be discovered that the missing lady had skated with him several times dunng the evening. After unmasking, at 8.30, an hour was spent in skating, when the floor was cleared, aud dancing was indulged in np to one o’clock by about forty couples.

A few days ago Mrs. McLaren wheeled her baby down town in a cab and left the little one outside the postoffice while she went inside after the mail. The walk at that poinl slopes gently to the southward, con­ sequently th e_carriage started with its occupant toward the fatal stairway. Arriving there, one wheel dropped to the first stair, over went the vehicle, and "baby and all” were precipitated to the bottom. Luckily no serious damage was done except to the moth­ er’s feelings. REQUESTED TO REST. Last week E. L. Parrish received a Christmas present from his dear friend Don M., in the shape of a request for him to take a vacation (at his own ex­ pense) in order to recuperate from his trying labors in the postal rervice. Mr. Parrish ffias been in the employ of the government for many years and has by hard work made himself so proficient that ho was one of the head clerks of the important run between Detroit and Chi­ cago, but he was just as "offensively partisan.” when on the road as he was at home and gets the natural conse­ quence. He will undoubtedly be one of the first men reinstated nnder the coming administration. His place was filled by L. L. Leatherman, of Valpa­ raiso, Indiana, who is a republican dis­ charged about election time. BRI0-ABRA0. Rev. E. A. Tanner, pastor of the M. E. Church, will deliver his lecture en­ titled "Bric-a Brae,” at the M. E. church, on Friday evening next, Jan­ uary Uth, under the auspices of the ladies of the church. The lecture will undoubtedly be of a highy entertain­ ing character, tinged with humor and pathos, and will be well worth hearing. The price of admission has been placed at ten cents, at which low price the house should and probably will be filled. Excellent music is being pre­ pared for the occasion. The proceeds are for the benefit of the Sunday school. RAILR0AD_N0TE8. The employes of the Michigan Cent­ ral railroad enjoyed a vacation New Years. The C. A. St. L. R.

A Tilt of Two Conthonta CHAPTER XXIIL * But Jeannette’s murderous scheme was not a success. In her anxiety to get rid of her troublesome “little tramp" she had given her a double dose, and it would not remain in the stomach a sufficient length of time to take the desired effect. Bnt for a whole long mouth Lenora was not able to leave her bed. Oh, what moments of awful agony Ray Bristol si>ent during the first two weeks of Lenora’s sickness, for he ex­ pected even- moment that they would tell him that she was dead. His mother would not allow him to go to the blue rooms during that time. How thin and pale she had grown from her worry and watch! The latter part of the third week,after that ter­ rible dav, Mrs. Bristol found Roy sit­ ting iu the library with his arms rest­ ing on the table, while his fac? was buried in the deep circle they formed. “My boy, what nils you of late? You have grown so pale and thin. Come, tell me all, Rny; you know I love to bear your burdens as well os shore your joys." She gently laid her hand upon his shoulder, but ns Ray raised his head and looked up into her face she shrank back, fur it did not aeeiu poarible that ffiis could be her Ray, her only bov. His face was so thin, pale, and Lag­ gard-looking; his eyes were tearless, but in their dee]), dark depths a sad, lonely, indescribable expression reited. As he looked up at his mother, she read th? plea for pity in liis face. "My precious boy, tell me all; I know you are suffering, and do not hesitate to tell me." The tender, loving mother kissed the white, nolfle forehead as the hot, throb­ bing temples rested on her bosom. "Can’t you guess, mother, or do you know all and do not want to speak yet?" "You know I am not good nt guess­ ing, Ray; but be frank. Is it our little bird?" ' y “Yes, it ia she. I do not’know how you feel about it, and I cannot help my own feelings, but I love her better than I do my own life. If she cannot be mine, I do not care to live. I am con­ vinced that she is as pure and innocent os a babe, but for some reason or other Jeannette docs not think an. I would give my right hand to know that strange mystery which surrounds that lieautiful girl; she seems so far above xqe, in her beouty and purity. Oh, I wish I could describe to yon, mother, the sweet comfort aud pleasure it gives me just to be near her. Life will be a burden without her for my wife." “My dear lioy. mv heart aches for you; but I know that you are old enough and man enough to do what is right. ’ But are you ante that she loves Eau? Perhaps you have given your eart and happiness to one who could not love you." “Oh, mother, I would stake my life that she loves me, and no one else!

She hss taken the veil It is a differ­ ent veil from the one which she has hitherto worn. It not only covers her face but envelops her hair completely, and is gathered closely under her chin. The picture shows' how it is commonly done. The veil is fastened clear around the hat by on elMticcord, so that it hangs from the brim, and, a.* that brim is more or less protuberant in front, the veil is not brought against the face, bat leaves a clear space be­ tween the gauze and the visage. That is more comfortable, certainly, and “probably healthier, than to have a cov­ ering, however tfiip, drawn tightly over tho eyes, nose, and mouth. The greater ]»eculiarity about the new veil. THE MEW HTTLE OF VEIL. however, is a puckering string by means of which it is gathered in around the neck, leaving u further depth of two or three inches spread out again like a wide lace collar. The whole thing has rather a stuffy look, but it is a welcome device for those who do notdeem their faces quite fine enough to Im- exposed to the glare of sunlight. About all the colors that tho dvera know how to produce are seen in these veils, and most of these are fieckfd with opaque dote which should, if the warnings of oculists be well founded, produce many cross eyes and impaired visions. It is not for tho promenade alone that women are doing now things to their heads. Highly decorative cups of laoe, feathers, and ribbons are being worn considerably at home. They are call, d “housewife caps," but unmar­ ried women are donning them. too. Three examples of these caps are sketched. Individual fancy can be in­ dulged indefinitely in these contriv­ ances, and New York ‘milliners are adding to their income by producing cape artistically suited to their cus­ tomers. They are not onlv worn at breakfast, the time for which they were originally intended—in order to conceal the fact that one's hair had not been very elaborately arranged so early in the morning—but are displayed at nil times of the day, and even occasion­ ally in the evening. In the matter of caps, it will be interesting to know -o HOUSEWIFE CArfl. that there is a revival of a fashion of several years ago in the “Dolly Var­ den" cap, which is now worn with tea gowns. It is now, os it formerly was, only a bit of gathered lace and n pnekered-up crown, with a few short lengths of ribbon of the same colors as the tea gown it accompanies. A differ­ ent style of cap is the “Marie Stuart" for elderly ladies, and made of soft cream or white embroidered net, or of black. lace. The jxrintcd velvet l>ond, resting on the head in front, supports tho delicate material which forms the cap. like a deep curtain, falling over tho l>ack hair and tying loosely in front at a little distance 'from tho chin. In black lace it ia particularly graceful and becoming, suitable alike for society or home wear. Other cans—if on ar­ rangement of lace beaded in different colors, taking the form of a butterfly with its wings fastened against the hair, can be called a cap—are very dainty and becoming. They are much worn at evening entertainments of all kinds. For the young girls there are instead of capa many varieties of littln Dorothy wreath and its accompanying single epaulet. These are made of small flowers, and the epaulet some­ what resembles a large buckle and fits GO WEST. ™ £ . ‘ „ ’ it will J?™.**? descnpUons it will lie seen that the stylish woman i» no longer dowdyish or csrelcsi in her drosH at home. That is commendable, surely, although it may considerably increase the cost of her wardrobe. More and more have frocks been ela1>orated for home wear until a preten­ tion* girl, robed merely to receive casual evening ckllcrs, sometimes looks as smart as though arrayed for a ball. The fact is that girls in society where elaboration ot dress and manners is practiced no longer possess much simplicity. Ever since the practice of making debuts came in, and every mniden found herself criticised like an actress upon her first formal appear­ ance, she can't hrlp knowing her, good and bad points, and naturally her ef­ forts to improve her looks are re­ doubled. We commonlv hear the faces and figures of our girls discussed in the moat critical and outspoken man­ ner, and tho society columns in tho Now York .newspapers are often free in the expressions of admiration or mildly expressed disapproval of wealthy debutantes. All this has render­ ed the girl of the period a much more careful dresser than her grandmother was when young. Articlea'are studded with imitation gems, and other objects than thoso intehde l to wear ore offered in the acme collections. I recently saw among other things some very handsome shades for candles or very tiny lamps, which were apparently composed of large rubies, emeralds and crystals in deep gold settings, the effect of which was exceedingly rich and beautiful The latest menu cards have the letters forming tho word “menu" or some cor­ ner design, such os a butterfly or pin, composed of what look like wee dia­ monds and amethysts, and so brilliant and beautiful ore’ some of these new carls that 1 feel sure guests will not feel at all inclined to leave them to the usual fate cf tho menu card, which is to be tramplod under the table or swept away when the serious part of the dinner is over.

Damcibo shoes are either of black satin or undressed kid, corresponding in color with the gown. Womes's watches are characterized by their smallness. Some of them are scarcely bigger than tho thumb nail. Fuss of all kinds axe worn without much prefen nee. Possibly good, heavy furs, which are genuine, are the favorites. Aprons are long, and mounted in small gathers at the waist Pongee silk aprons- have revers of velvet at each side. < Dresses of crepe de Chine or Ori­ ental silk arc much worn by young crirls. They are serviceable, and will stand wear. The latest ring for beantv's finger is of heavy twist-wire with three spark­ ling gems imbedded in diamond-shaped settings. Crepe is very popular and it certain­ ly is durable. A threadlike variety with almost imperceptible silk line is espe­ cially in vogue.

BY MAKY BARBIS II. One bright, beautiful summer morn­ ring, John Malcolm wu sitting in au invalid's chair, on tho piazza on his handsome country-eeat, which over­ looked the Hudson River, a short dis­ tance from New York. Ho wu in a decidedly bad humor, and the sound of a sweet, fresh voieg, singing a pretty love ballad, seemed to excite his ire otill further. “Lulu, will you. stop that everluting veiling, and come out here a moment?" “What can I do for you, papa?” And the owner of the voice, a bright, saucyfaced. attractive young girl, stepped through the low, open French window to liis side, and stroked liis hair loving­ ly, with .her soft,' white hand, while looking quizzically into his face^ *1 ■always know you are feeling worse, papa, when you stigmitiza my musical -efforts as 'everlasting yelling.*" Aud she laughed, a gay, infectious little .laugh, that brought an answering ismile to her father’s face. For, in spite •of his apparent ill-nature, that was more the result of a temporary physical ■-.suffering than a Lal disposition, John Malcolm dearly loved this bright, .•piquant, tcootnplished daughter of hia. “Are there no letters for me this morning?" bo questioned, and, receiv­ ing a negative reply, he continued, im­ patiently: “There, those horses are •tending in the stable, and no one •whom 1 could trust to exercise them, •while I am bound hand and foot with thia confounded rheumatism! That man whom Jones promised to send • ought to have Loen here last night,and there's rot a sign of him yet, nor any iletter explaining the delay." “Well, papa, I think you had better •agree to my plan, and let me drive them myself until you can get some one else,” said Lulu. "You! Let you drive those------" And here Mr. Malcolm stopped, breathless, at the mere proposition of such a mad caprice. “Do you want to be brought home with a broken neck?” he man­ aged to ejaculate, with a gasp. Lulu laughed gayly nt her father’s consternation, and was about to replv when ahe was interrupts 1 by the sud­ den appearance of a young man before them. He was a tall, muscular,'rother hand­ some mon. dressed in a gray suit that showed evidence of considerable wear. Am he approached he doffed his hat. -Mr. Malcolm exclaimed, irately: “So you have arrived st last, have ■you? Why didn't you come last night. you agreed to?" The stranger's face flushed hotly, and ho looked from Mr. Malcolm to AS nr. APPROACHED will I shall U of coagmud companions ahe took Lulu’s hand in liis. “Six, you insult me!” exclaimed Mr. Malcolm, sa he gaaed angrily at the young man. ’ “And yet you invited w here for tha express purpose of welting her for my wife," answered the other, coolly, and even* smilingly. “You are mod! I Dever mw you be­ fore in my life!" was tho astonished reply. * “Is not that your hand-writing? and did you not send me that invitation?'’, .passing the elder man a letter as he “It is certainly my hand-writing, but' lymnnot understand how you coma by this letter," was tfie amazed reply. ' “And I am Frad Davis Moreland, at your service," was the quiet reply. "The day 1 came I woe not certain that I was iu the right place, and before I could question 'you, you mistook me for the expected coachman, and would not allow me to explain .matters; so, acting upon a whim of finding out if I could obtain favor ip a certain ladv's eyes withouttho advantage that wealth confers, I accepted tho position you forced upon me, and for which I shall always be exceedingly prateful to you. It has enabled me to wm tho love of your daughter and her promise to be­ come my wife, provided I could gain youi consent." ’ “You Fred Moreland! How could I l*o sy stupid as not to recognize you by tho strong resemblance you bear to your father ? Can you forgive the illteinper that prevented your explana­ tion? Lultl, what shall I say to him?1’ continued Mr. Malcolm, turning help­ lessly to his daughter, jrho wna just as much surprised* as he by the disclosure. “I tfitnk tha-only course left is to accede to his demands," was the demure reply. "It is only a just indemnity for liis wrongs." t That the advice was .acted upon was proved by the wedding which followed a few months later. If tho promisee are fulfilled it will be sn unusually happy one. The Talk and the Test of Old Wines. Now, what are the real facts about old wines? After fermentation, which is a process of decay, wine will deteri­ orate ualess preventive measures arc taken, such as keeping tlui wine in a cool or even temperature, the addition of alcohol, boiling (the vinum cotturn of the Romans and tlie vino ontto of modern Italians), and the complete exclusion of tha ordinary atmosphere bv gond corks, by scnling-wax or by oil. Tlie most common method of preserving wine in modern times is by adding alcohol and by corking anil sealing. The alcohol in wines prepared for England is often in such propor­ tions that the wine ceases to bo any­ thing like the juice of the grope, and too often is as strong as a glass of brandy and water. But with all these precautions there, is a time when even the best of vines lose their character. When I first vent to reside in Portu­ gal a present was made ma of a few iMfttlcs of port wine of the famous vintage of 1820. Port wine, having naturally moresugir, has consequently more alcohol, and thus more power of resistance to decay anti deterioration. HE doffed his hat.

One day Miss Malcolm, strolling through the arbor, camo upon Davis as he sat poring over his book. When he became aware of her presence, he arose hastily, and in doing so drop|>ed his book, which fell at her feet before he had time to recover it. She was as­ tonished to see that it -was a standard French novel in the original. "Do you read French, Davis?" she inquired. “Yes, Miss Malcolm." ho replied, re­ spectfully. “I am ambitions of becom­ ing samething more than a coachman, and use all my leisure moments to im­ prove my mind." "Your ambition is a laudable one, Davis,” replied Lulu, approvingly, her respect instinctively rising for the man. “We have an extensive library, and if the use of the books would aid you any in your desire to advance yourself, I know* that papa will lend yon any you may name." "Thank you kindly. Miss Malcolm, for the interest you evince in one whose K'tion is so lowly. It you would not offended at toy request, I would like you to choose the books that you consider the most instructive for au in­ quiring mind.” “Very well, Davis, I will Select aome books for you, and -leave them on the hall table,’where you can get them at your pleasure."' ’ Then Lulu returned thoughtfully to the house, where she informed her father of the incident, and of her promise to lend the books. “I tail yon what, papa," said she, “I predict that our coachman is a bud­ ding g<~nins, perhaps a future Presi­ dent,” aud she laughed merrily. “Who knows but some day he might make you a foreign minister, to repay me for directing his studies?” “Well, Lulu. I should not be sur­ prised,” Mr. Malcolm replied. “The fellow has always puzzled me, any way,’ he continued, thoughtfully. “He is always respectful, and in the two months of his service I have not ■had cause to complain once, eren, but'■' he seems used Co giving orders, in­ stead of rec. iviag ttu m."

Lulu's terror was extreme, and she wus preparing to spring from the phae­ ton. when Paris, divining her inten­ tion, dexterously wound the reins about bis hand, and throwing his arm around her drew- her close U> hi* side. “Lulu, darling, trust me!” he said, turning a pale, set fuee toward her foj. an instant “Promiso that you will nf»t again try to jump out, and I will save you •unhurt" . ’ “I win trust you," she' replied, with a strange throb of pleasure kt her heart os she realized the import of his 'first exclamation. “Thank you for saying that,” ho said, os he turned once more toward her for an instant. “Now, clasp my arm tightly; and keep as close to me ns possible, for tho road is bad here, and I need both my hands-to guide the horses.” Silently Lulu did ns lie bait!; and watched, with admiration, the display of skill and strength which the driver used to subdue the maddened steeds. Suddenly one of the reins snapped in two, and the horses veered sligh>tly. In an instant tho catriage was upset and the occupants thrown to the ground.' Lulu was stunned fora moment, and upon recovering herself found that she had been thrown upon the driver, and thus been saved serious injury; while be lay insensible with an uglv gash in his forehead from a stone, which hh head had come in contact with when he fell. Lulu stanched the blood with her handkerchief and carefully bandaged his head.

Inateifti of a pound and a half iron dikk, or ring, we have a rock that must weigh at least thirty pounds, but may not exceed fifty. The shape of the curling stone is similar to a much-flattened orange. According to the rules its height must be at lout oneeighth of its circumference, and this must not be greater than thirty-six inches. Into one aide of the stone is fas­ tened a handle which the player grasps when he throws his stone. A curler's out­ fit consists of two of these ponderous scored by each side, ctoeidtug. u in auoiu, by ths proximity of the stecftM to the obTWO SEW 1'UEUXTKS. j«a( tee.

The player fortytwo ro<ls away cannot distiugniah accurately the relative positions of the stones alroad v at rest near the tee; he cannot sec with certainty just wbat it will be bed for him to accomplish. The skip decides fqr hftn, and from his position at the too decides tho play. Now, suppose the player has started hia stone; the skip may think it not coming fut enough to reach tbe de­ sired point, and he therefore orders his men who are in the middle of tbe rink to sweep with tbeir brooms in front of the cnrling stone. You have no idea bow much difference the sweeping makes, if snow is falling it can readily De understood that tbe brooms must be u«ed aetively, but on Bev. Charles C.

Though be wax a t.touch Unionist, he never, during those days, lost the warm affections of his Baltimore flock. He is regarded in Bos­ ton as a preacher of rare oratorial power, reminding some of tbe older Bo«toninns nt times, of Webster, and some who haw heard the pieacbers of.Notre Dime, Psrixr of tbe more noted or dors of the French church. He is personally gentlj aud simple in Lis ways. BISHOP KNIGHT. Rev. Cyrus F. Knight, of Lanca-tor, Pn . hax teen chosen a* the successor of Brihop Welles. The election of Dr. Knight is a victory of the cathedral and High Church party ov^r tbe Broad Church eleiueut in the diocese. Dr. Knight will accept the office. He was born nt Boston ij March, 1831, and is. coasequcutly, 57 years of age. Ho graduated from the general theologicaM seminary in Now York in 1854. and waa ordained to tho priesthood sboitir afterward.

Near each end the goals, o.- marks, are put down on tbe ice so that they are thirty-eight yards ajia t. Theae are called tbe “tees." Four y»r.ls back of each ooe a circle eighteen inches in diameter is drawn, within which tbe plater ninst place his right foot when throwing bis stouo. A circle uven feet in radius, drawn about each toe, indicates how close tbe stone must be left to tbe tee in order that it shall count at lost u a shot. Four men play on each side in each rink. Tho cap­ tain of a side is known as tbe “skip," a corruption, perhajw, of tbe nautical term the game is ready to tegin the skips take their positions at one of tbe tees, and the remaining four men arrange themselves along the intermediate space. Tbe skips have absolute authority over their respective sides, directing the piny of each individual. One of the men at tbe further tee. with his foot within the eighteen-inch ring, throws his stone along tha ice, aiming for the tie where hi« skip stands. If tha skip sees any snow or or other obstruction in tbe path of the on-coming stope, he cm order hi« men on tbe middle line of the rink to sweep it away with hu In oom.

In order Io get about quickly on tbe ice tho curie:8 wear rubbers. “The important thing for a carter to leant is just bow much force is required to propel his stone a given distance. No two stones, of course, ore exactly alike in shape or weight, aud It ia necessary that the player shquld have a pair that an as nearly mate* u possible. Otherwise be would be continually sending tho lighter oue too far and the heavier not far enough. After acquiring the proper judgment as to force, the curler must learn how to curve. Tho necessity for this is seen if we snp]>oMthst an opponent has delivered his stone ao that it rests directly in front of the toe, but several feet away. If tbe next player then throws hh stone so u to hit tho first one. aiming to knock it beyond the toe and outside the seven-foot circle, he is likely to do no more than knock it st.ll nearer the tec, hia own stone coming to test further away. Therefore, he will euifeivor by throwing with a peculiar twist, known os either the ‘in turn,* or ‘out turn.' according to tbe curve desired, to send the stone wo that it shall curve round that of his opi onent and come to test between it and the toe.

BY JAMES SETMOm. • Some years ago (said my friend, a real estate agent) 1 nad an office ou La Salic Street, Chicago. To it came Mrs. Capel, jWhom I had known iu Boston. She want­ ed a house. I had ouo on my list iu Hulsrted street. Her family consisted of her•elf, a child between 6 and 7, aud a ser­ vant. I rented the dwelling, but was as­ tonished in about ton days to rind her back. She stated that & port.ou of the premises which she did not require she bad locked. By some supernatural cauxe the doors would fly open. She had heard Some rumors in the neighborhood that the houre wa* haunted, but paid do attention to such superbt.tious gossip. Thea she proceeded to’tcll the following singular story, which'I will give in her own words: “Odo night as Margaret, the servant, aud I went up stairs I saw the doorat the head 'stood open. Wo went into the extension. All was'quiet, the dust lay thick on the -floor and ‘the spiders had spun the r webs across the wall, and one huge mush work lay directly across tho narrow, crooked stairs that led downward. I remember thinking as we descended that it would bo a terrible place for anyone to fall. At tho foot was a bit of cracked and broken flagging, and as I looked at it I fancied involuntarily tho dull, sickening thud of a heavy body thrown from above the stones. The 'thought win so re >1 that it mode me shudder in spite of myself, but I. shook it off u unhealthy and morbid. Wo secure­ ly fastened both doors and I began to hope that wo should be troubled by no more i i I ; i । ■uuk under me. I was powerlesn to open my lip*. Only my num! wa* free a* air to receive in every fiber this sanae of un­ utterable terror for that instant. Pear hold dominion over me. Fear, such aa I hod never dreamed of, ruled in every atom of my being. The sound of the Abutting of a door nwounded' in my ears like an unexpected thing, a faint light flitted for an instant along the wall, and in its mo­ mentary gleam I saw a woman's fsce, * wicked'face, and a girl’s form, a shadow crouched st my side. Tho light wm gone, but there alii! rung in my ears a long, low sob, like the cry of a lost soul, and the sickening noiao of a fall on the stone* below. "It must have been some time after this that Margaret found mo sitting on our stairs below the closed door. How I came there I do not know. She did not speak to mo. for I think she knew by my face what had happened, and she followed her instinct in treating me much a-i I had treated her. Aa noon as any power of ac­ tion returned to mo, I resolved upon Quit­ ting tho house instantly, and aet about preparations for our departure with a feverish activity. I could not bo easy so long a» we remained in the building, and we sj»ent the few days necessary for tho repacking of tno furniture at Leland's Hotel, visiting the bouse as little as pos­ sible and never remaining over night. Margaret went to hor mother's to stay till she could recover from the shock to her nerve* and be fit for work. “ I knew it would bo useless to try and pars undo Mrs. Capel that all she had re­ lated was bat the illusions of an over­ wrought imagination. I released hor, theve'.oro, from the engagement, and de­ terrain cd to inspect the building for my own satisfaction. An old doctor who re­ sided on West Monroe street, in thoneighborhood, to d me that the last permanent occupants of tho house, before it began to bear so evil a reputation, hod boon two women, a mother aud daughter. The mother, a widow, owned the place. She wm a tioree-tempered, bard woman, who seemed possessed, as the gossips said, by a spirit of unnatural hatred toward her daughter, a girl <ith a certain sad beauty of Lor own. a* the doridt described her t j me, but not r ght in her mind. Rhe was not an idiot, but "lacking." tho doctor termed it. As she grew into womanhood her mental deficiencies uiero4sed, un<l the mother, fiercely proud iu her way, could not endure the s;»ectncle of Ler child's u>Lfo tune. She would h ivo hidden her away from the world, but tfio girt rebelled. There were taunts* quarrel*, sometimes blows, between tho two. snd the mother, defiant and furious, loeke I her d ingbtor in the roar part of tho buUdiDg. Here the tragedy of her life phyed its-df out. and here she was found one morning by Urn servant, who dept in a remote attic, lying dead at tho foot of the stair*. How she camo by her death no one knew. There was nothing to directly criminate tho mother, and tho inquest that was held resulted in a ver­ dict of "Accidental death." Tho mother herself died soon after, leaving her prop­ erty to a distant cousin, who reaped little lieuotit from the house, since it soon boc.irac impossible to let it. The doctor's account socmed to lend weight to the statement of Mri. Capel. I entirely disbelieve iu the supernatural, and. after making an examination of the premises, was o:i tho point ot leaving, when I noticed a panel in the. open door that had a peculiar surface. As I stood watching it, while night-shades were fall­ ing, the outlines of two figures became more and more visible. Ouo was that of a middle-aged woman, with a hard, fierce face, while the other wns that of a young girl in a crouching attitude. When the door was closed tne panel could not be sTSrn extent from the extension. I exam­ ine.! the framework of tho door, and found it to bo in a rickety condition. A gust of wind from a social quarter striking the framework throw tho door suffi­ ciently aslant to free the bolt from the clasp aud allow tho door to swing open into the hall, and reveal the painted panel. On subsequent in­ quiry, I found Hint tho extenviou had at ono limo been occupied by an artist, who, doubtless, hearing of the tragedy as re­ lated by the doctor, had pointed tlie scone on the panel. I also discovered that the artist had been making experiment* with phosphorescent paint, and also with a point that changod color at various de­ grees of temperature. I hod the frame­ work of the door repaired and tho panel taken out, and since then no tenant has como to mo with ghost stories. I have the j anol at homo in my parlor. Iu the dark, when the weather is slightly damp, the two figures come out very distinctly, but nt times they are invisible. Tho luminous paint used is now quite com­ mon, but the artist who invented it has no idea of the supernatural sensation this early experiment made on the tenants of tho Halstod Street Haunted Monse.. “On Saturday evening, wishing to finish a piece of work with which I wo* busy. I •ent Margaret to put Alice to l>od instead of going myself as usual. The room in winch I was sitting was not directly be­ neath my bud-room, and I d d not hear the girl's I'cxH’rteps when she left tho chamber to come down. I noticed that aha remained away for a longer time than common, bnt 1 supposed that the child had proved wakeful aud difficult to get to sleep, and 1 thought little of her absence.

A* I approached her I found that her consciousness was beginning to re­ turn, and, at the same instant, ray ears caught a faint, soft rustle in tho «iarkne«s above, and the door closed with a hard •lam that resounded through the house. My foot wns on the lowest step. 1 would have rooponod it in another second, but Margaret caught my dres*. ‘ " ‘For tho love of God, don't go,' she whispered; ‘what you'll sec tbore isn't what He meant should ever be,' and she held mo with a force of which I would not have believed her capable in her weak­ ness. “ ‘Promise me, promise xr.o,' she whis­ pered. And seeing that it was the only way to calm her, I promised not to at­ tempt to cuter tho extension that night. "I helped her into hor own room, shocked at tho state is which I found ouo usually ao cahu and self-controded, aud I passed the hours till daylight in watching alter­ nately with her nud with Alice, who was restloss and feverish and muttered to her­ self in her sleep.

She did not close her eyes, but lay with her •yes fixed ou the opposite wall. Toward dawn she suddenly broke tho long silence by saying, musingly: " 'We don't kno. wh.it has been done in the old time by them that lived here, nor what their punishment is.' “ ‘Hush, hush!’ I answered, unwilling to encourage her talking, and to change the unwholesome current of her thoughts I drew aside tho window-curtain.

Montreat St. Paul, New Orleans and St. Louis will in tho next few months have their street* enlivened by the moving pageantry of a carnival.

Carnival* have been in Italy for many yean events looked forward to with special favor by all classes from the noble,.to the peasant. That of Venice is one that must l>e charming in every wav—the peculiar position of tho city and the joyous temperament of the people most materially enhancing its attraction and interest. Gliding about in decorated gondolas through the de­ vious canals, or joining in the Grand Canal, where choruses of laughter re­ sound on all sides, where merry pranks are continually beiflg played, where tho senoritas throw glances with killing profusion and cornucopias of flour with insouciant drollery, the eyes are attracted by the beauty and uniqueness of the scene. No mournful thought can long endure under that sunny, inviting sky, the enjoyment of the jmssinghour is the only object, and it is useless to attempt to be serious. In the evening the illumination and feux (Tartifice form an unparalleled scene of beauty—tho lights reflected in the water, the gondolas, with their variously colored lamps, tho serenades and choruses all liave a most pleasura­ ble influence on the senses. The carnivals in Rome also attract many, but are not nearly as beautiful us those of Venice—and necessarily so, os tho latter city is so peculiarly situ­ ated in the waters of the Adriatic. Who has not read the description of the Roman carnival in Monte Cristo ? Tho total abandonment to pleasure and the joyousness of the Italian nature are so intense that nothing can arrest the happy course of pleasure. The masked beauties, or at least, presumedly so, excite curiosity and by their actions cause many amusing escapades. 8t. Paul and Montreal are now pre­ paring to hold their “snow frolic." From the sunny, worm skies of Italy, the blue canals' of the “Queen of the Adriatic,” the historic streets of Rome, what a change. But one which We venture to say will in nowise detract from tho enjoyment aud novelty of our Minnesota and the Canadiau festivals. The blue skies, the merry tinkling of tho sleigh-bells, the measured tread of snowHhoers, tho moving line of torches, the graceful gliding of the skaters, the, moving panorama to l»e seen in a fancy dress carnival in the rinks, and tho many other enjoyments which can be provided, form an ottractive display entirely different from Italian or other carnivals, and fully as enjoyable.

A cow of Mr. Denton’s got choked on a turnip and the united efforts of seven men finally relieved her and saved her life. The next debate will be Tuesday evening and the question to be discussed will be: “Resolved that tbc love for the opposite sex baa more influence than the love of money.” The unyielding quality of European official red tape, compared with winch the domestic article is elasticity itself, it is well illustrated by the enforce­ ment of a rule ot the Danish state rail­ ways regulating the employment of guards at crosaings. Every one who baa traveled in the north of Europe has noticed the enormous number of guard houses along the railroads, and the fact that women usually signal the trains. As a measure of economy man ami wife are employed by the state, the former as track walker and the latter as guard. The rules specify the re­ lationship to exist between these two classes of employes and rules are made to be obeyed. When it happens that either die, the survivor has jnst six weeks in which to find another partner. Neglect to do so is disobedience, pun­ ished with dismissal. The employ­ ment of brother, sister or servant to fill the vacancy is not allowed. The guard or track walker must mairy m six weeks or leave. A case of the Kind occured recently near the old town of Ribe ou the German frontier. The stricken widower petitioned the gov­ ernment to allow him an extra week or two, alleging that his work of walking all day along the railroad track did not give him a chance to look for a wife; but his request was refused as in itself an infraction of discipline. The hapless widower had only six days of grace left, but he did not want to lone his job,* and went skirmishing with such energy that before the end of the fifth he had a new wife flagging the trains. Charlie: “Blanche, dear. I wish you wouldn’t wear that terribly low-cut dress again that you wore at the ball last night" Blanche: "Why, Charlie? Yon always said before we were mar­ ried that 1 looked lovely in it.” Charlie: “Yes, dear; but it’s different now. It causes remarks. Young Thornton said to me last night, “I see your wife’s back from Brookline.” “Mamma, may I speak!” “You know that you must not talk at the table.” “May I not say just one thing!” “No, my boy. When papa has read his paper you may speak.” Papa reads through his paper and says kindly: “Now, child, what is itf” “I only wanted to say that the water pipe in the bathroom hiul burst.” COATS GROVE.

We are accustomed to declare that the South went into tho war almost ignorant of the vast resources of the North in men, material and scientific skill.; We forgot that the ignorance was not confined to the South. We did not dream of the possibilities thaf the formation of the country itself offered to the Confederacy. We did not know, until bitter experience had taught us the lesson, that the State of Virginia in itself was an im­ mense fortified aud intrenched camp, with its mountain chains and navigable rivers; and that the Shenan­ doah Valley was a broad and inviting highway for Northern invasion, per­ mitting* a hostile army to reach the rear of Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia before it could l>e checked, ■while a force from the North using the same route would march directly away from Richmond, reaching a posi­ tion where that capital could not be threatened at all. All this was learned at the North by the actual progress of the war. The lesson be van in the spring of 1862, when Stonewall Jackson’s Valiev cami>aign crested a ]*aaic st Washington. It began t j be seen then that the national capital could never be safe while a large hostile fore? wm operating in the Shenandoah und threatening its rear.

'’The board of supervisors have decid­ ed to submit the question of a new court house to the people of the county to be voted upon at the time of the spring elections.^ We thought they would, and it only remains now for the intelligent voters to do their duty, and we shall have in 1890 a secure and com­ modious blace in which to keep the records and transact the business of the county. Appropos of this question, the Hastings Banner has a timely arti­ cle this week, embodying the salient pointe of our recent editorial and some new ones, which should be put in the hands of every voter io the county be­ fore the day of election. The amount to be expended on the building, includ­ ing furnishings, is $60,000, in-our opin­ ion a moderate and yet sufficient sain. A MEW ONE. Among our exchanges we observe the following swindle, which is being worked to advantage by a number of females who claim to bail from Chicago and are engaged in canvassing for a new Kind of soap. They call at houses and leave a cake of soap as a sample, asking that it be tried and the result noted. In a couple of days the party would return and ask the lady of the house to sign a printed “testimonial” of its excellence, which was to be pre­ sented to the grocers to induce them to handle the soap. These testimonials have been turning up as orders for trom $2 to $10 worth of soap at big prices.

Dakota has 4065 public schools. They are supported by a direct tax upon the people, amounting, in a recent year, to $1,688, 561—a sum which Mr. P. F. McClure says, in Harper’s Magazine for February, is larger than that de­ voted to the same purpose by- any one of twenty-four states. It is worthy of note that the law for­ bids a pensioner, bargaining, promis­ ing, or selling his quarterly pension be­ fore it comes due; and upon the other hand all persons are forbidden to ac­ cept the same in any manner, as security or otherwise. The find is fixed at $100 for any violation of the act, and is equal upon the soldier and dealer. Dr. S. M. Fowler, of this city, has es­ tablished himself for dental practice at Nashville, where he can be found on Monday of each week.

Ab Dr. Fowler has become an expert dentist,being a grad­ uate of the dental department of the University, the people of Nashvilleand vicinity who need work in his line will find that he is capable in every respect to serve them.—Hastings Banner.

In i'atUn'i Companion. EWe'* Soldier, Almost thirty years ago, a little flaxen-haired girl named Ellie lived in a little cottage among the hills of New Hampshire. She was very happy with her father and mother, her one sister, her big gray cat "Fremont," and her dear rag dolly named Ida Bell. She had a big brother, too, but ho was not at home; he was a soldier. ’ The big brother’s name was Harry. He had come one day in a blue coat, with brass buttons, that mode him look taller and grander than ever, Ellie thought, and when he went away again he hod takfcn her up in his arms and kissed her very tenderly, and Ellie no­ ticed that her mother's sweet face was very pale, and that her father had to clear his throat a good deni when he said, “Good-by, and God bless you, my boy.” But little Ellie felt very proud to Have a soldier-brother, and when long .letters cam<* from him, telling funny stories of living in a tent, with many hundreds of other soldier* all in t-nts, nnd of cooking his dinner over a little fire out of doors, and of marching to the sound of music, the little girl thought it must lx* al! like a great, big picnic, anl that it was a fine thing to "go to war." But there camo a sod time in the little cottage when the merrv letter* did not come, and father ana mother said there hod been a great battle, and that Harry was “missing." Ellie did not know very well what tint meant: but she knew that weeks and weeks went by. and still there was no letter. .And ut lust slie knew, by the things she heard her father and* mother say when they thought her busy at play, c.nd by, their sober f.ice*. that they were afraid her big, strong. Ix-autiful brother would never come home any more. But little Elli” never believed that, nnd every morning she hoped he would come home that very day, and looktxl many times down the road, thinking perhaps she should see him; nnd whe­ never lay down in her littl.» bed at night without adding to her jirayer, “And plia->e bless my soldier, and let him come home to-morrow.” She slept with her sister in a little room right off the sitting-room, and the door was always loft a little way open. One night, after she had bee i nsleep a long time, sh • awoke sud­ denly, thinking she heard voices. Her father often sat up tong after the others were in lied, nnd she thought he must be speaking to some one. Then she heard another voice that Bent a thrill all through bar li’tle body. She eonld not see anything from the corner where h?r little bed stood, but she sat up nnd listened. A bright light was slrning through from the sitting-room, and she heard a strong and gentle voice sav: “No, don’t ^disturb them to-iiigh*. i’ll lie right down here on the floor." Ellie's h^art beat s j hard that she could not hear wh it her father said in reply; but auddenlv the light went out and all was still. Who ciuld it have been? Was it, c »uld it be, the darling broth?r? It was his voice surely, but nobody seem­ ed to be nwa'te now. Her sister was sound asleep by her. Could she have dreamed it, after all ? She was only a little girl, and sbe soju grew sleepy while trying to think if anything so beautiful could l>e true; and soon she was really dreaming. But she woke very early in the morn­ ing. before any one else” i a the house; and her first thought was of what she had heard in the night. Was it a dream? It was just growing light. She would get right up and "find out. Out of bed she Boftly erupt, and . through the door into the sitting-room. The rosy dawn was just coming in at the east window. There on the floor lay somebody wrapped in a big bine soldier's overcoat. Ellie’s little bare feet made no noise as she stole along the floor and knelt down by the tail figure. The head rested on a soldier's knapsack, and the close brown curls were the same she remembered so well. The face was brown and very thin, and the eyes closed in sleep: bat it was the dear kind face of her lyg brother Har­ ry. But it all seemed so strange; could it be real ? She put out one lit­ tle finger and timidly touched his fore­ head. It was enough. The eyes flashed wide open, and the big strong arms clasped the little white night-gowned girl in a big bear hug. No doubt now whether he is real or whether *ho is awake. Her shouts of joy rouse all the rest of the household, nnd out they coirte, without writing for clothes, that small matter, like everything else, be­ ing forgotten in the won.lerful joy that had came. Only the father, wlio hod known it all night, could get his wits together enough to go about the regu­ lar marning duties, for a long time. As for little Ellie, the big brother himself drossud her; an l then she sal­ on his knee and heard his wonderful story of escape from prison ami long sickness. and how at lost he hail got back to bis old regiment and straight­ way been given a furlough to tnme home and rent and gain strength. And, in the happy days that followed in the cottage, little Ellie at least forgot all the pain that had gone h *fnre.

A Yflity aerious charge i* brought th© Voice—or more properly t •on md Dudley, the chairman, vice chairman and treasurer of the rcuubll can national committee. The firs charge is that they paid, on or abou October 15th, >350 for a copy of th mailing list of the Voice, which Kai been stolen, sheet by sheet, by a clerl named Durfee in tbe employ of th Voice aud which was transferred & Mr..Clarkson by another clerk in th same office, a deaf mute named San som, who had been discharged abou twe weeks previously. In proof o this charge the Voice presents thi sworn statements of the two disboncs clerks, giving the particular* of th< negotiations and of the payment of tbi money. Sansom swears that Mr Clarkson gave him a fifty dollar bil before the list was delivered and flv< ten dollar bills and two checks on tin Garfield National Bank for >75 each a another time, though whether subse' quent to the delivery is not stated Durfee swear* that when he called U see Clarkson about another matter af ter the election, and referred to whai Sansom had done, Clarkson remarked that Sansom did not want any money for it. While Sansom received >350 ht gave only >25 to Durfee. Although the men who make these affidavits are self confessed scoundrels, they give «uch circumstantial account* ol the alleged transaction that a simple denial from the officials implicated will not meet the case. A full explanation is needed. .There are no documents on tins charge given in the sworn state­ ment* or in connection with them ; but three letters, or note*, are printed in fac-simile, relating to what we may­ call tbe second charge. This charge is that Durfee, who remained .in the em­ ploy of tbe Voice, went to 'Clarkson after She election, with other property ot the Voice, and proposed to enter the service of the Republican National Committee at Washington. Durfee says he took with him a list of the contnbntors to the Voice’s Clergymen’* funds, aud subsequently submitted a plan for a bureau of statistics, and a “pledge plan for a campaign fund.” After hearing him, Mr. Clarkson gave him a note to Mr. Dudley, and subsequently Mr. Dudley in a letter from Washing­ ton, dated December 23d, agreed to ac­ cept bis services. What these services were to be none of the published letter* describe. We have only Durfee’s word font. Mr. Clarkson simply said in bis note to Mr. Dudley: “This gentleman is of value to us, and may bo able to give important information in the in­ terests of honesty.” We do not under­ stand why the republican national committee should want plans for a bu­ reau of statistics and a campaign fund late in December after the campaign was over; nor of what use to the com­ mittee at that late day, the list of con­ tributors to tbe Voice’s campaign fund would be. The second charge seems easily capable of explanation. Return­ ing to the charge concerning the pur­ chase of the mailing list, there is some points which tbe Voice baa not biade clear. It says, or rather intimates that the stolen mailing list was used by the committee to send documents to the Voice’s subscribers. In it* account of the matter it states that it Lad many complaint* from subscriber* .that re­ publican anti-saloon and tariff docu­ ments were inclosed with (the Voice. Bnt where did the committee get 40,­ 000 or 50,000 copies of the Voice for thi* purpose ! Did the subscribers of the Voice get two copies the same week, one in the regular way and one from the committee! Could tbe com­ mittee get so many copies without the knowledge of the proprietors of the Voice! These are pertinent questions. Furthermore, while the Voice tells us od the flr-t page that the documents folded with tbe paper* were "republi­ can campaign documents.” and de­ scribes them, it says in it* editorial that they were "democratic documents wrapped in copies of the Voice to make our readers believe that we were in al­ liance with the democratic party.” Here i* a direct contradiction. Which were they—democratic or republican ! But whatever importance may be at­ tached to these discrepancies, Jthe charges must be fully met. Tbe steal­ ing of a mailing list is the meanest kind of sneak-thieving, and tbe mar who would buy such stolen goods knowingly, is a* mean a* the thief the power to reguUteoommsroe, vested in congresp, does not protect a person in manufacturing intoxicating liquor* in the state of .(owe against the statute* of that state.

All that is needed to se­ cure absolute prohibition in any state is the requisite public sentiment there- HIS PAJTALOOM THICK. The other day a long man who I seemed to be built on the telescope plan, inasmuch as be worked up and down like an accordeon in action, walked into the establishment on a sort of limp, and said he wished to be measured for a pair of trouser* * In a few minutes he was led up stairs to the measuring department, and placed upon tbe customary pedestal to be surveyed. As he stood on the pedestal bo leaned on his cane for support, and tbe sur­ veyor noticed that bis left leg didn't touch the ground at all, being some­ thing like six inches shorter than the right. "How much for these trouser*!” in­ quired the customer of tbe tailor. "Ten dollars,” replied the tailor: "and you can’t get such a pair any­ where else for that price.” s “You see one of my legs is six inches shorter than the other.” • "Therefore, as it takes much les* cloth for one leg than the other, you save something; and I won’t let you make mo a pair unless you allow me a fair and just discount.” . The surveyor stopped his work im­ mediately, and hung hia tape-measure around his neck until the tailor and customer made a bargain. “I’ll tell you the best I can do,” said the tailor, scratching his face as though buried in deep reflection. “What is that!” asked the customer, anxiously. “It is this. In consideration of one of your legs being shorter than the other, I shall depart from our rules, and let you have the trousers for eight dollars.” "All right, you may make them.” The surveyor returned and measured the man, who, on going out, said: “I will call for them—when will they be done!” “On Tuesday.” "That means two weeks from Satur­ day does it notP "No, it means Tuesday.” "All right. I’ll call. Good-day.” And out be went. On Tuesday be called, and, much to to his surprise and delight, the trousers were done. “I would like to try them on,” said the customer. "Certainly,” replied the tailor, ex­ tending the trousers to the new cus­ tomer. In about five minutes the customer popped out of the dressing room, and looked as though be would like to eat some one without salt. "These trouser* are all wrong,” ho said, angrily, as be bobbled out to the light. “What’s the matter!” asked the tail­ or.

But toward the ond of tho first year of their wedded life his firm was sniu to be under heavy liabilitiae. and the anniversary of their marriage found the bou*e bankrupt and Clarence out of a situation. They moved out of their house and took a cheaper place in another part of the city. By this time their funds began to run lor and Stella wanted something now for her ward­ robe. "I shall find something by-and-by," tho husband said bravely. It was at this trying time that n little «psck of humanity was put into Stella'* «rm>, and its feeble cry told that the re­ sponsibility of motherhood wm here.

She ought to have been contented— ought to have thought with pride of the a»n who would thus brave tbe world's tag and came home late st night, his handsome face glowing with love. But the vere thought that her husband was brought down to the level of a common had moved about a groat dsal. hoping to find a place in a'hich tbe fretting gtrl-wi& would be contented. "XheM people are all alike, you know, and I may ax well bo iu one plaeo a» an­ other," was her reply to Clarence when he euggerted that they move, It was unwomanly in her to say this, she knew, and she thought to run after her husband and beg hia forgivunosa. but just then Freddy caught her by her dress, causing her to spill the water she was pouring into tho kettle, -which only in­ creased her vexation. "You cross little thing!" she exclaimed, impatiently. "Take that!" laying her hand. heavily on tho little bare shoulders. Then she sat down aud wont into hysterical weeping. Freddy, with tho prints of her fingers still on his neck, tried to climb। into her lap, but she pushed him away roughly. "Don’t do anything you'll bo sorry for, Stella," her husband said, coming into the। room just then. "I thought you'd gone to town," she re­ plied, sharply. "O, dear! If I had taken good adviso I would not have married a iKKir ninn." “You uro not yourself this morning. Stella." and his eyes were full of unshed tears as he saw the red marks on tho baby's neck. "Do you think I ccn endure every­ thing?" she cried, spitefully. “You are nervous nnd tired dear. Como hero." And he put out his hand to clasp her,, but she turned away from him and loft tho room. Something wot fell on the baby’s head, and he pressed him closely to hix bosom as bo caught tbo sound of her sobbing. "I hare heard of something new this morning, Stella, and I’m going to Now York by tho next train." "Yon are always hearing of Bomothing now," washer quick reply; “but wl^at does it amount to?" “I nm hoping for something better, and think I’ve found it now." . ” He rocked Freddy to sleep, put him into hie crib, then went to tho door of his wife’s room. ' , “Are you going to kiss me good-by, Stella?" ho asked. "I may be gone a day or two." "No," she replied, coldly; “you’ll be back *oon enough." “But I might never return, yon know." "Soo if you are not back in a day or two, with tho same old story.” Clarence lumod quickly and left her. She heard him cross tho room, nnd know he bent over Freddy's crib nnd kissod’tho little sleeper again and again. "He’ll como back before bo’s really gone." whispered she to herself, going to­ ward the door, but n turn in the street bid him from sight. He had gone,,without bidding her good-by. "Weil, wo’vo been married long enough to be done with such nonsense," she said, by way of consolation, yet there was a terrible pain at her heart. She sat still till Freddy awoke, then with a ory of anguish she ran aerosH the hall to the nearest neighbor with— "Flense como, Mrs. Wilson. My baby is dying." Mrs. Wilson came, for though rough in manner sbo was kind in heart. “He is in a fit," she said, tho moment aho saw the child. " Bring me some water aud help get off his clothes." Stella obeyed. "Hold him so till I run home and get some medicine. “ she added, putting him in tbe bath. “Such women as you ain't fit to be mothers," she continued, return­ ing with her hands full of bottlex. “1 have so many trials to bear," moaned Stella “Nonsense," replied Mrs. Wilton. "You hare a pretty homo if it was put in order." “I'm used to a better." “Young people can't begin where the old one’s left off. They must make their own homes." “I never understood it *o. My sister ad­ vised me never to marry a poor man." “And so you keep finding fault and com­ plaining, when your husband is trying in every way to make an honest living. It is a wonder rou haven’t driven him to drink long ago. “But my husband is a goo J man. "replied Stella, warmly, resenting the last part of the speech. ' "He has shown himself to be a good man." Tbe woman said it in good faith, wrap­ ping Freddy in soft flannels and adminis­ tering a quietiug potion. She had been watching the movement* of the people ever since they came to live in the Douse. “My baby will get well, won’t be?” was said, pleadingly, and tho poor thing sobbed again as if her heart would break. “YmI indeed.” “And you will stay with mo through tbe night?" forgetting that she was one of “tho«e people." “I'd stay with you a whole blessed weak," replied true-hearted Mrs. Wilson, “if I could make you a wife worth}- of your hus­ band." “Tell me what I shall do and I’ll do it willingly and without complaining." All through the long night, while Fred­ dy lay between life and death. Mrs. Wilson worked over him bravely, and told the girl-mother chapters in her own life expe­ riences. There were passages over which Stella wept bitterly, nnd when morning dawned, giving back the child from dan­ ger, in place of the fickle, unreasonable woman, there was one ready to meet life's work with firm purpose and strong heart. She tidied up each apartment, and in­ stead of going about in a dowdy wrapper put on a fre^h drees, arranged her hair be­ comingly. and changed tbe pucker about her mouth for her own rosy lips. “You’re a pretty little thing." Mrs. Wil­ son told her when she bad fastened a knot of blue ribbon in her hair. “ Sec after baby now. Ill look in eveiy now and then through tbe day. and to-night 1 will come back to you. Your husband will be here to-morrow morning." “¥•«," Stell* replied, with n bright look in her eyes. "He’ll bo Loro by 10 o'clock."

Contrary to Mrs. Wilson's conjecture.-he came by a different route. He had thought to telegraph, but “Stella won't worry, "ho said, “if lam late." The light faded from his eyes nnd his face turned ghostly white when he looked into the rooms. “Both"goner he groaned, walking from tbe l>ed to tbe concn. “No. no," Mrs. Wilson said, comforting­ ly. “Baby’s better, nnd your wife will como o'ut of this.

What could we ao if such as she-wero not stationed all along tbo walks of life? It was painful to listen to the wild talk. "If I might endure it," Clarence said- so many times. When at last Stella awoke from* tho terrible dreams her husband was bending over her. “Clarence," she said, very softly at first*, “Clarence," she repeated, putting her onus abont hi* neck, “if you forgive mo for striking Freddy, I’ll kiss you, O, so many times.

Haring Fresh Giris. Human nature is very much the_ same in all institutions of learning, and first-year students who venture to bo too presumptuous are usually dis­ ciplined by their upper classmates. It makes uo difference whether they ore attending a college for the develop­ ment of foot-ball players and crack oarsmen, or are cultivating the graces of dancing, music and needlework in an institution where the sterner sex is admitted. The fresh girl is treated verv much tho same as the freshman. When a young miss enters tho boarding-school she generally thinks she owns the half of the world which does not belong to her strapping brother, who is just matriculating at college. He sports a high hat and carries a bag and cane, and the name spirit prompts her to cliuib into high heeled shoes and don a sealskin sack and wear a bustle. In such a case the youth is put through a course of sprouts by the maturing sophomore, and the same thing must 1 e done to her of the bustle to mold the giddy girl into something like womanhood. This is how it works. The young lady of fifteen determines to wear a sealskin coat, although such articles are pro­ hibited by the sophomore girls of the college. * A sealskin fight follows just as naturally as a cane rush. It would not do to tear up sealskins promiscu­ ously, so when the young lady wants to appear defiant she ’ dons nn imitation sealskin, sometimes mode of cheese cloth, and parades before her irate elders. Then the fun commences. Half a hundred young Amazons putmee upon her, screaming aud shouting, and the way that imitation sealskin is ripped and torn would shame a flock of vuitures. Within two minutes the sack hSs lost al] resemblance to a neat-fit­ ting garment, and the victorious sopho­ more girls go on }Mtrade, each decked with a sort of imitation sealskin in bou~ quel de corsage. High-heeled shoes meet with much the same treatment But the glory of the female college shines the brightest in the bustle fight. It is a bold, firstclass girl that will wear a bustle be fort) she has aged a year in college. But now and then some warlike Boadicea determines to take to herself that article which has been likened to “manufactured to-baik-her.” She pur­ chases one of abnormal size, nnd once arrayed in it stands forth to onset. The bag fight, the hat fight, the cane tight, are nothing to the slaughter that fol­ lows. She’s tom by finger nails, crushed, scratched and pinched until the bustle yields and is made into a foot-ball.

Ail night long, alter that of the trag■ i dy, Jeannette had been haunted by the vision of her two poor victims, and the next morning she was un ible to go to the city. She did not leave her room for three, or four days, and of course could not go to the city, as she had expected, nor as vet carty out her plans to have her little tramp sant ’ away. Lenora grew rapidly better, and in a few days was able to go down to the conservatory, supported by Mrs. Bristol. She would sit as long as she could in the little recess in the conservatory, where she had fainted on th j night of the party. Monday night was that ever to be re­ membered night to the inmates of the Bristol mansion, and on the Monday morning following Mrs. Bristol re­ ceived a strange-looking letter; the handwriting was new to her, and as she tore ojx’n the letter her hands trembled so that she could scarcely hokl the paper. As she read on down the page her face became us that of the dead, and it seemed difficult for her to breathe. She was in Lenora’s room, and they had bean sitting by the grate talking when the letter was handed to her. Lenora noticed how pale she was when she finished the letter. “I hope you have no bail news, Mrs. Bristol; no death, I hope." “No, no death, but worse. Here i» lhe letter; read for yourself. I do not and can not understand how it can ba true, but hero it is on ]>aper before me. I would give half of all I ]x>ssess to know it is fals3, for Ray's sake alone; but what can I do or think? Here is tho letter, Lina; read for yourself." . The p;»or innocent girl took the let­ ter, and her great beautiful eyes fell upon thcae lines: Madam Bkistol: I. an a friend, think It my duty to warn you in time of tho danger you are in at present.

Lenora read on to the end of that terrible letter, while every word pierced her poor aching heart like so many daggers. Hhe knew, and knew that God knew, that it was false, and as tho letter dropped from her cold, trembling fingers she raised her beautiful, dark, troubled eyes to Mrs. Bristol's fsce. “Do von believe that, Mrs. Bristol ?" Her lipa were pale and parched, and her voice was low and husky. “I hardly know what to believe, Lina. You know of the manner iu which you came, and everything con­ nected with you seems very strange. Very strange ‘things have occurred since you came here that I am utterly unable to account for, and to-----But Lenora stopped her before she could finish her rebuke.

If* those who are in the habit of uttering them should ever be placed in a position where they would be enabled to judge from the stand­ point of actual experience it is safe to say the words would never be re­ peated the second time. Old sol­ diers are never heard to talk that way. Those who havesb od in “the imminent deadly breach,’ felt the shock of bat­ tle, participated in the deadly bayonet charge, or 'braved the perils of picket life, know from practical experience that the sane man “absolutely without fear’ does not, never did, and never will exist Not long since I was “swapping lies" with an old ex-Conft derate soldier, when I put the question to him whether ' he took any stock in the “absolutely L fearless’’ man chestnut. “Most assuredly." was the instant reply.

TRAVELING DAIS OVER. Morgan had L een on the road for one house about twenty years. This is a long period ot travel. In less time than that moat men work up or work down. No man can continue on a dead, level an a salesman during-that* time, even if hie habits are good. If he has ability ho ia sure, with rare exception, to work himself off the road. If ho is mediocre no one bouse con afford to carry him for twenty years. Morgan wa* the rare oxteotiou just meniiojcd. He was an excellent salesman, and his ability and success but served to weld him the closer to his work. Fba house had made him a partner long since, but the business he controlled was ■o large and so profitable that they all knew, and ho best, that to withdraWhim and experiment with a new man would be but playing with, fii© over a magazine of powder. So he w nt on his way year after year, making no plans for the future tbnt would change his work or his life. Hut his family, consisting of his wife and their one daughter, Mary, a romping girl of twelve, wns not of his disposition. Tho-e two could not see husband and father start off without a protest. The wife had always on hit heart a harden of anxiety nbont him: of.da gem on rail­ roads. of his possible robbery and murder; of tbe diftcomforts of hotels, and tbo fe ir of his falling sick among straagers. She aas naturally a timid woman, snd the re­ sponsibility of the hnnse weighed U| on her. The whole burdon of Mary's growth in body and mind, her training", her com­ panions. and her pleasures were matters tbe mother would gladly have shared with '.be father, but she w is generally com­ pelled to decide them slone. The father’s continued absence was a constant pain and grievance to Marv. There was neve** a week but that she felt deprived of some special outing because he was not at homo to go with her. Sat­ urday night and Sunday, if he was where ho could run home, were ro many solid hours of happiness to them all, bat to Mary they were full of perfect bliss. Morgan was known to all his friends as s man who never worried. If a train wns late bo sat down and wa ted; if a customer failed he always signod a compromise; if he didn't get the cost room in the hotel be took whst he could grt; and he lost no sleep in picturing boa his competitors might get ahead of him. He always left home with tbe assuraues that everything would go on all right until he returned, and when be wont awav ho thought of the two ho loved as being happy and well. But as he started on the trip he could not shake off a slight feeling of anxiety that had possessed him all the night, and had'grown since ho awoke Their talk the previous day bad been about the entrance of diphtheria into the ne ghborhood. and of the fatal cbm but two blocks away from their door. Mary had complained of a slightly sore throat, but on Mondav morn­ ing declared it was ent-rely well again, kissing him good-by with more spirit than usual, as it trying to ecuvince him of the truth of her words, ami send him away aaanred and happy. When he wns seated in the oars the shadows camo over hie spirits again and began to torture him with dunbta and pos­ sibilities. It might be. ho thought, that her sprightlinoss of the morning was due to fever, rather than health. lie wished he had looked into her t oroat, and be re­ gretted that he had not mationed his wife about ber. He nursed these fears until be felt himself becoming wild with appre­ hension, and then he i Molutely put the thoughts aside, declare 1 he was foolish -.nd would have no more of it. and devoted himself to a companion and to his papers. Men cannot always govern their minds. These are kingdoms that frequently rebel against all government. Several times during the day Morgan caught himself going back to his morning thoughts and ho resolutely changed the current. But at night, try as ho wou'd, be could not conquer tbrfn. Even his dreams took up the forebodings of the day, exaggerated and intensified them, and tortured him. Next morning found him out of sorts, nervous and miserable. He had a long drive to take in the country, but he shrank from it as if he saw danger in the track. All his intuitions seemed io bo crying to him to go'hotne, but what he thought was his common sense kept insisting that he should go on with his business, and not cross the bridge of trouble sxitil be came telL The day was one of tbe loveliest Octo­ ber days he had ever seen. His drive was shot at me, the loud report of a gun from another ]>oint rang out upon the air, and my blue-coated friend, without uttering a word, fell dead almost at my- feet. Ono of my comrades, a member of the Fourteenth Mis­ sissippi, attracted by the firing, had come upon the s?ene just in time to save my life. You may well imagine I was profuse in my thanks. “It was the cloest coll I svpr ha 1 in all my war experience.

He felt easier having done this, and passed a boUer night than the previous one, although there was in nil his sleeping and waking thoughts an under current of solicitude over impending danger to Mary.

Such a story would un­ fold soon enough. There were several hours before a train went his way; the discipline of twenty years asserted*itself, and he attended to his business. The ride home was one that can be un­ derstood in its depths only by those who have been similaily circumstanced. The train seemed to creep. The minutes wore like hours. The stops seemed to be in­ terminable. and every mile nearer bom© seemed to bo proportionately longer than the previous ime. He reached the c’.ty at dork. The store was closed. He had exKctod to find Manning there, but be sudnly remembered that he had not tele­ graphed to him the time of his arrival. As ne neared bis home the first glance showed him there was a change. The lower port of the house wav in darkness, and only a dim light shone iu the front chamber, which waa but rarely occupied. ’They have laid her there.* he said to himself, and nil bis soul cried within him in anguish. His poor wife! How she must have suffered, to have gone through nil this alone! What a brute he was to so away Mondvy. when be ought to have known." and did know, that something dreadful wan upon them! He reached the door; it was fastened; be would go to the other side and enter quietly. But some one heard his step, and. opening the door, called him back. “Is it Mr. Morgan?" The voice was that of a neighbor. "Yes." He passed in, expecting to see or hoar his wife. The friend closed the door and turned to him. "Have you heard------ she began. “I hate hoard nothing; is Mary------ ," he broke down. The door beside him opened. “Oh. papa!" Give him nirl What mystery was this? “Mary, is it yon? Are yoa alive? Why, I .bought—I feared------ Oh, darling, is it ron'r” Yes. it was Marr. Oh, thank God! Thank God! “Tell mo again, d«;ar, Are yoti well?" “Oh, yes. paim. bnt poor mamma!" "Mamma! What of her? Is she sick? What is it? Tell mo quick!" And again ho was pushed from the heaven of happi­ ness to the bottomless pit of doubt. 4Is mamma sick? Where is she?" “Oh. papa, the doctor says sheXs going "Hush," said the neighbor. “Step in­ side, sir; tbo doctor is with her now; he will soon be down. Prepare youraelf, Mr. Morgan; your wife is very low. The aervant's carelessness caused an explo-ion in the kitchen, setting her>clf on fire; your wife ran to her assistance and saved her life, but, I fear, at the expense of her own." "I must see her." “No. sir. not now; be guided by me for a moment. The doctor will soon b - down." Ho took Man* in his arms and they wopt together. Oh, if his wife, hie dar­ ling wife, were to be Liken from him! It was th© crudest blow God ever struck! Ami she saving another's life, too! He cursed and raved, but it Wws in hie own heart; and Mary, eryiog on his breast, only knew whst comfort it was to have papa once more with her. The physician enme down with mmner so grave th it it told its bwn story. “There is hcaredy a chance.” be said; “ydu can go to bar; she will not know you.’ “When did this happen?" “Monday evening.

He heggeu her to live, as only a man <nn plead whose soul is Ixiund up in a woman's life, and whether love, or whether medicine, or whether care saved her, I do not know. But she lived. But Morgan informed Manning that his travel­ ing 'lays w^re over; that a new man must be engaged for that route. They found him, after diligent search, and much to the surprise of everyone connected with tbe house, he sold more goods for tbe firm than Morgan had ever done. The on© who rejoices most al this is Morgan, who says be has mads his last trip.—From “A Man o/5asyirot’ty Fm. B. Maher. Movrarent wf 8bet When Fired. T, 1«». IDOLA found ionic flour.

You say they have an eighty-pound tub of the butter which they have jmt away for soa -grease. Now, that is a shame!—I say a burning shame!—to waste things like that, and I inclose the money lor the whole tub at three cents a ponnd, for I have a new- board­ er now. The clerk at the coiner store came over and engag'd board, and the sumo night I got a letter from granny and daddy, saying they had sold out, and were "coming her.? th live with me; l.ut I can tell you right hero that they have agreed "to pay f..ur dollars a week for their board, and granny will moke her own bed, nod daddy will pay for half the wood we bum, in the bargain. Now, Fidola, you needn't get jealous over their liv­ ing with me. for you know I Rin the youngest and have the best right to their things. I was tho lad one to leave home, and never drudged in early life like you did to get experience iu being economical. I have just finished Sophia Jane a now dress—that is, wo coll it new, though, goodness knows, it ain’t, for it is one Phyletus’ mother used to wear and wanted to lie buried in, but as her brown one was faded-and had a rip in the back, I had her buried in it and saved this for Sophia Jane. She says site believes dead folks know what is going on, but I don t care if they do. The only thing I fear is, that when Gabriel blows his trumpet and my mother-in-law comes sweeping up be­ fore the judgment seat, the church members will poke fun st her because of the patch on her bock. Goodness knows! her virtues wiHse far out­ shine theirs that she wiil soon forget the little mortification that may came her. I intended to have made tho dress over for myself, but you see Miss Hessbold dresses so fine that Sophia Jane began to look shabby, and so I sacri­ ficed mv feelings, and went to work and msae it up for her. And now you say you hear that Mrs. Littlesoul u talking of coming over here to lire. Well, if that don't beat all! But let her beware; I know a thing or two about her that I never even told you about You see. when she and I lived in the double bouse, wo used to get our things so mixed up that wo couldn't tell which from our chickens to­ > gather the egga _______ __ _ day. and divide them up. half and half. Well, we got along pretty well until last tell, when one day I was out looking among the squash vines, and all at once I came upon a hen's nest with about a dozen eirga in it. Now, I says to myself, ■ “Tryphona, you found "that neat of eggs, and, as tbe hon stole hor neat, the eggs are yours." Then, too, I ’re­ membered of having read somewhere iu a book of proverbs—I think it was called “Solomon's Many 'Wives Proverlw”— ■ that “whatsoever a woman findeth, that shall she also lose the half of, un­ less she doth straightway conceal tho same." It seemed to just fit my cmo exactly, and so I looked toward tho house" and, seeing no one in sight, I just unbuttoned my waist and put tho«e egir* in my bosom, and then started for the house. Now that old sneak of a M*odam Littlesou! was up in the chamber watching my meonderings all the time, though she took good care to stand back from the window where I could not see her, and, as I came on tho back porch, what should she do but meet me and liegin patting me on the chest and saying how fleshy I was getting, and such talk as that The vulgar thing just managed to smash two of these eggs right in my very bosom, and then she 'lowed that I would soon advertise myself for an incubator and go to settin. Oh! but wasn’t I mod! I tell you, Fidola, for the time being I laid aside my church garments entirely, and I boldly waded into the sin and" iniquity of n "first-class quarrel, and, bring in, I bore it that Littluaonls might beware of me next time. Not having any missiles handy, I made use of tho eggs, and though, to my everlasting regret, they were not rotten, yet I managed to smear her clothes in grand shape. Well, tho outcome ot it was that we left the house and moved over here to get out of such low, viio company. Now that you know how sneaking mean she is vou must try to keep her away from here. Why, Fidola. she would Xrteal the liceoffof a hen roost where the chickens had all died with the cholera morbus. But I got even with her, Fidola, for when we moved I had a big box fixed, and we divided the chickens by candle light, and after she had gone to bed I went out and slipped a few more into my box. Then I nudged Phyletus and says, “Tryjibena has a more diligent way of increasing her flock than by s' means of incubating, ot settin* either,^ and I went to l>ed and slept the sleep of the triumphant.

(S)>ottsviB« <Ky,j vprclaL] A dreadful accident, which resulted in tho death of a number of men, occurred here. For some time there has been a conflict between the officers of the Louis­ ville, St. Louis and Texas Hoad and the con/ractore who erected tbe company’s now bridge over Green River. Tbo con­ tractors refused to deliver the bridge over to the compsuy or to allow any trains to pass over itk Tbo railroad authorities at once appealed to the courts at Hendersop, and an injunction was granted Bgainst further interference with tho traffic of the road until the cos© had boon decided. This decision, granting tho temporary injunc­ tion, caused the road to announce when its first train would cross thp bridge. Forty men, acting under instructions from the contractors, grtbered upon the draw and placed on each end of it a number of hoary rails, intending to obstruct tho train in this way and not violate the court's in­ structions by opening tho draw. The Bowling Green packet General Dawes, bound for Evansville, Ind., whis­ tled for tho draw to be‘opened that It might pais through. Theroswas a prompt response, snd while all of the contractors' men were still standing upon it' the pon­ derous drew swung open and tho steamer passed into the opening, bnt as she got through the drew broke m two immediate­ ly over tho coater of the pier upon which it rested, and both wings, with their weight of iron and human beings, fell forty leet, and in an instant sank beneath the surface, amid wild sbr.eks from tho doomed workmen. Many of the unfortu­ nates had their limbs an 1 necks broken be­ fore the drew reached the water, and all were thrown downward upon the iron track snd beams, or, entangled in the debris, were borne beneath the water. The passengers of tho steamer saw three mon crushed by an immense beam os it broke, one being transfixed upon an iron spur. In falling tho draw only miss­ ed the steamer a few feet, and came near capsizing rt in tho water. Where the structure sank the water is thirty feet deep. Boats were at once lowered, and a little steamer, the Corinne, put out from tho .shore to rescue the drowning men. Many camo to the surface at once, some swimming and others ■ppareatly lifeless, who sank again. About eighteen were taken out, who were all that could be found.

Modern physiologists al! agree that the cell is tho neat of nutrition and function. It is composed of a mas? of protoplasm, an elementry organism capable of exhibiting independently all rhe phenotesna of life. While it is claimed the whole body is made up of cells or the cell ia itself tbe ultimate morphological element which is capa­ ble of exhibiting manifestation of life, it must be borne in mind that in a com­ plex organism, the phenomena of lifo are tbe resnlt of the combined activity of innumerable cells, many of which possess distinct and pecul iar functions, and that by their combinations they become endowed with new powers, and exhibit new forces, so that though each individual unit possesses an inde­ pendent activity, it is in a state of con­ stant dependence upon others with which it is more or lees intimately as­ sociated. The function of cells is to absorb and transform matter, and to excrete and growThe cell theory above described is*in contrast with that of Mark Twain. At tbe time of bis marriage ho was in an impecunious condition; for as yet the Goddess, Success had not placed him upon the pinnacle of fame. His wife’s father shortly after his marriage invit­ ed Mark and Lis wire to take a drive. They stopped at an elegant mansion. Entering they viewed the palace m all iU grauduer and when about to make their exit, the pater familllas, tapping Mark on the shoulder said, “it is all vours.” Stunned and bewildered. Mark eoald only say, “this la a grand •ell.” Cell life in a reformatory institution is in many respects closely allied to cell life in animal physiology. It ab­ sorbs tbe viciousness and criminal de­ generation and transforms the mao of unbridled passion and depraved habit into a remorseful character that regrets bis errors and in contrite atone­ ment awaits release from bondage that he may make the amende honorable, and begin anew the battle of life with purer, nobler aspiration and grander achievement There is an excretion of grosaness, hatred, moroaeness, false pride, deceit, malice and evil propensity. The convict puts on a new element of growth and development Mid gradually becomes uietamorpboeised into a man, by cultivating taste, truthfulness, honor, obedience, industry, frugality, politeness and general culture. As an angel once fell from heaven, so too there are exceptions to the above generally attained resnlt. But the rule is an indexible one and records and statistics verify our assertion. To un­ derstand this fully and beconvinced of tbe truthfulness of above premises, one must be familiar with the rules and re­ quirements and the means and influ­ ences utilised for the attainment of ac­ complishment , No literary college in America is more strict in enforcement of rules for rectitude of conduct and elevation of moral standing ot its inmates than the prison at Jackson, and there is this superiority, each person is placed upon his persona1 honor and to a certain ex tent governs himself. Under a new regime introduced by the present courteous and efficient WMden, Mr. Hatch, ably assisted by our venerable Chaplain, Rev. O. H. Hickox, and all minor officers, the institution is con­ ducted on a progressive plan. Each man is imbued with a spirit of emu­ lation. Each one strives to outdo his fellow in exemplary conduct and dilligence. He is stimulated to do this by his own sense of honor and manhood. He is taoght that beta incarcerated for tbe protection of himself and the com­ munity at large. He is at once dis­ abused of the idea that tbe state is aiming at bis humiliation anti punish menL In consonance with this general theory, rewardsand benefits accrue to the deserving. After three months so­ journ when the general deportment is good tbe deserving are permitted to don a suit of gray clothes in lieu of the regulation garb of stripes. Two months iu every twelve are curtailed from allotted sentence for exemplary conduct. Promotions from manual la­ bor to light and congenial employment also is accorded to those that excel. As excellency and right always court favor, and are made the recipient of re­ ward, so too, belligerency and wrong­ doing necessarily entails punishment of intellectual culture there exists the imbecile. When the moral training has been totally neglected there is present­ ed but an intellectual and physical montrarity. Iu spinal curvature, the eminent surgeon, Dr. Louis Sayres, ap­ plies a plaster paris jacket, which cor­ rects the deformity; and the hideous dwarf again puts on the look of physi­ cal symmetry. In order to make the application the patient is suspended by an apanuas, applied to the chin and occiput, which permits tbe toes to os­ cillate gracefully free from tbe floor. We have beard it alleged that a spec­ ialist of Jackson, Dr. Hatch, treats all bis patients who get their "backs up” in a similar manner, only substituting a strap m place of plaster of Paris; and the testimonials in corroboration of tbe success attending h^ method of treat­ ment are legion. In the animal economy the absolute and permanent arrest of nutrition results in necrosis or death. Anything that interferes with tbe supply of nu­ tritive material to a part, or destroys tbe activity of its cellular elements, may cause its death. Pathologists tell tu that the supply of nutritive material may be interfered with by obstructions in the arteries, capalariea or veins. Al­ so by diminished cardiac power and inflamatiou. And tbe termination of tbe necrotive process is either circum­ scribed gangrene or diffuse gangrene. In a healthy person it tends to become circumscribed, but when tbe circulation is enfeebled, or tbe vitality of the tissue is impaired it is liable to be diffuse, tn tbe (ormer a line of demarcation en­ sue*. and the necrotic process ceases, with only the loss uf tbe part marginal gradual tem. slo vitality and death ensues. Ki deemed and disenthralled, and once more be ATen. Another claas may be more deeply engulfed Mid coupled with their own depravity—ft want of desire for life and improvement, refusing all aid and smiting the hand that is prof­ fered. They will either anihilate them­ selves or only be sound after much la­ bor and lengthy atonement. Cell life is what we make it. It may be the chastening rod from under.which we may rise purer,' better, nobler men, and each nne of us may be ft silent fac­ tor in the promotion of order, discipline and good cheer. Tbe lengthy ha­ rangue; the logical theme of diucouree; the effusive essay; the brilliant oration all may possess merit; pleasing the fancy, convincing the judgment and verifying observation ; but acts are tbe stepping-stone* to the fruition of bene­ fit. alike to yourself and others. Promptness, punctuality, industry, studiousnuss, obedience and courtesy are the virtnes, and blessed is he who weareth them. And unless these are possessed and cultivated by every man tbe reform movement so auspiciously begun in Jackson prison will have reached its ebb, and perhaps it will be its final ebb. Exile. KALAMO.

He U now in the prime of life, just King on thirty-four, and he has had a ig< busy and earnest life for one no older. Losing his mother at eight,.at ten he commenced to experience life on his own resource*, and some six years spent in what was then the backwoods in Isabella county, taught him land surveying, to scale logs, estimate tim­ ber and ir fact more or less of every branch of lumber camp life. The rough corners acquirtfTJp this sort of life were then smoothed off by a short time at school, and then a baker’s dozen of. years were* spent in the various branches of lamber busineae comprised under the general­ heads of saw and shingle mills and wholesale lumber. Admitted to the bar in’81 as the re­ sult of leisure time was spent, he came to this country in the spring of 1884 and commenced the practice of law in company with R. Leavitt, now state senator. Successful in practice, but desiring to use it only as a stepping stone to other things, the bank of Bellaire was started in 1885 of which be has always been the head. Au enthusiastic republican, he has ever labored earnestly for that party and the three campaigns spent in this county have found him at the front with money and work to thcfullest ex­ tent of his ability. The Antrim County Advertiser started by him to properly represent his large-interests in Bellaire and An­ trim county, was changed from an in­ dependent to a republican sheet when the Bellaire Breeze saw fit to bolt the regular nominations and desert its party. The Advertiser is now the rec­ ognized republican paper of the county seat. Owing to his inters intense earnestness he has been regarded by some* of the older headsas somewhat hot headed, but events have shown that he has a good political judgment, unfaltering nerve and a bull dog tenacity of pur­ pose which makes him beloved by bis friends and bated by bis enemies.

In thia way we can, at a slight expense, ha ve those comforts and even luxuries \ ' would otherwise pay a great price. For instance, I economized once in the matter of paper­ hanging, deciding that I would save the paper-hanger's bill and pnt the money into preferred trotting stock. So I read a recipe in a household hint; which went on to state how one should make and apply paste to wall paper; how to begin, hdw-to apply the paper, and all that.. The paste was made by uniting flour, water and glue in such a way as to secure the paper to the wall and yet leave it smooth, ac­ cording to the recipe. First, the walls had to lie “sized," however. I took a tape-measure and sized the walls. • Next I began to prepare the paste and cook some in a large milk-pan. It looked very repulsive indeed, but it looked so much lietter than it smelled that I did not mind. Then I put about 5 cents' worth of it on one roll of paSif, and got up on a barrel to begin. y idea was to apply it to the wall mostly, but the barrel tipped, and *u I papered tho piano and my wife on the way down. My wife gasped for breath, bnt soon tore a hole through tho paper so she could breathe, and then" .she laughed at me. That is the reason I took another end of the paper and re­ papered her f.«03. I cannot boar to have any one laugh at me when I am myself unhappy. It wax good paste, if you merely de­ sired to disfigure a piano or wife, but otherwise it would not stick at all. I did not like it. I was mad abont it. Bnt my wife seemed quite stuck on it. She has not got it all out of her hair yet Then a.man dropj>ed in to see me about some money that I had hoped to pay him that morning, and he said the paste needed more glue and a quart of molasses. I putin more glue and the last drop of molasses we had in the house. It made a mass which looked like unbaked ginger-snaps, and smelled us I imagine the deluge did at low tide. I next proceeded to paper the room. Sometimes the paper would adhere, and then it would refrain from adher­ ing. When I got around the room I hod gained ground so fast at the top and lost time at the bottom of the walls so much that I had to put in a wedge of paper two feet wide at the bottom, and tapering to a point at the top, in order to cover tho space. This g.ive the room the air of one that had been toyed with by an impatient cyclone. 1 went to bed very weary and abrad­ ed in places. I had paste in my pockets and bronze up my nose. At night I could hear the paper crock. Just ns I would get almost to sleep it vfould pop. That was because the paj>er was contracting and trying to bring the dimensions of the room to fit it. In the morning the room had shrunken so that the carpet did not fit, aud tho paper hung in large mo­ lasses-covered welts on the walls. It looked real grotesque. Then I had to economize again, so I next resorted to the home method of administering the Tnrkfah bath. You can get a Turkish bath in that way at a cost of 4| cents, which is fully as good as one which will cost you a dol­ lar or more in some places­ I road it in a paper,.

I tried to toll her to oomo and search my neighborhood, but I presume I did not make myself understood, because I was excited, and the fluff and bloom of my calves were being singed off in a way that may seem funny to others, but not to one who has it to pass through. It bored mo quite a deal. Once the wicker seat of the chair caught! fire. “Oh, Heavens!" I cried, with a sud­ den pong of horror, “am I thus to be devoured by the fire fiend? And is there no one to help? Help! Helu! Help!" I also made use of other expressions, but they did not add to the sense of the above. I [wrapired very much, indeed, and so the bath was, in a measure, a suc­ cess; but, oh, whit doth it profit n mun to gain a bath if he lose his own soul ? Law and Lawyen. . It cannot be supposed that every one who appears in a court of justice pos­ sesses that amount of familiarity with his country's laws which would make him a tit 'or capable exponent of his own cause, although there are some chronic offenders who, by long experi­ ence, have become as expert in cheat­ ing the gallows and tho jail ni a regu­ larly ordained counselor at law. Almost every jierson who attains years of maturity, sooner or later, has some cause which can bo settled only at the bar of justice, os, for instance, when the matured person reluses to comply with his promise to commit matrimony, and refuses to meet his other obligations. The duties of * lawyer ore not such as can be discharged by one who is un­ familiar with their requirements, for the art of bullvragging witnesses and throwing dust in iho optica of tho jury .8 not as easy as mi.’ht be supposed. It requires time to harden the cheek of tho criminal lawyer to the requisite degree of toughness. At all times the harvest of lawyers has been abundant, and there is no jmmediate reason for fearing that the supply will diminish, as.the crop is no; aflocted by late frost, ordrauth or tho seventeen-year Iqcuata. Laws are formed to guide the good and restrain the evil, but they do neither the one nor the other, owing to tho skill with which the laws are per­ verted by th ‘ lawyers, who get them­ selves elected to the Legislature, where they can mix up the laws so ss to pro­ mote litigation. Its apostles and ex­ pounders should try above all others to sc' ita majesty maintained. The fact that a man is n lawyer dofs not argue that he is wholly abandoned; that bo has nothin' in common with hia fellow-man. Their interests are identical with those of other citizens. They cannot harm oth< rs without sooner or later harming themselves.

Tbe old eraj orr.ooet that need to be such a familiar sight on our streets is one of the rarest now; indeed it is ao seldom seen that we involuntary turn and gaze after it, m something that brings rad and often cruel memories The other day an old man wearing b coat of this kind, which reached to his heels, stopped at a cottage a little way out of town and asked leave to rest awhile on the pourch. “I’m a bit ured.” he said to the woman who opened the door, “and if you don’t mind I’ll sit here and rest myself a spell.” ••You’re welcome,” said the woman, kindly, with a glance at tbe martial blue. Then she lift him alone, but after a little returned with a bowi of coffee and a plate of white biscuit "Eat,” she said gently; "I hart a boy who was a soldier." "But I’m not a soldier,” answered the old man. “I was never a soldier ; my boy went to the war and was—was killed. He wm all 1 had. too. This coat wm hia; seems like he’s near ipo when I have it on. I gave him to my country ; the handsomest and bravest boy he was, too, in the whole regiment God bless him. He did his duty, died on the field, and this coat was ail that came back to his poor old dad. No; I never was a soldier." The woman went in and brought out some cako and tbe whitest honey, and added it to the coffee and biscuit. “Are you alone in tbe world!” she asked. “Oh, no,” answered the old man, cheerfully; “I’ve got a sister, but she’s old and lame, and she lias a daughter that is sickly and ailing. You see I have them to work tor, and they’re a sight of comfort to me. Many tbe time I’d have broke down since Mary died but for them two poor critters. Mary wm my wife ma’am : she wm a mMter band to nuss sick folks, and she thought after Tim died it were herduty to go into tbe hospital service and nuse the soldiers and she died there sixteen years ago. but she did a heap of good work first. Many a soldier hM kissed her shadow on the wall! Mary, darlin. God wanted ye in tbe ranks up there! ae often wished that I had been a diet, if only to be fit for the little mother and Tim ; but I never was." He drank the coffee, ate the good food thankfully and offered to pay for it with some boarded pieces of old worn silver, but the woman shook her head. "Put back your money. My boy wm a soldier;” she said. “But I’m not a soldier—well—well,” as he looked in her face, “I thank you and I take it for his sake!" He wished good-night to bis kind bntertainer and turned away. As he walked off slowly and limping, bent by ingrmity, the long skirt ot his army overcoat struck bright and blue against the splendor of the sunset; he shaded his eyes with one trembling hand and looked wistfully at tho rose aad ame­ thyst door that seemed to open in the west. What saw he there! A little, round-shouldered woman with a small homely face ; a lank, overgrown boy, with sparse, red hair. Aye! and of such as these are angels made ! So watch­ ing. be passed down into tbe shadows and disappeared. The woman at tbe gate looked after him. “No soldier!" she said, gently, “but I wonder if the boy who died oh hie first battle-field ever fought m he hM. or sacrificed m much to his country! All the soldiers didn’t go into the war with flying flags and rolling drums: some of them stayed at home and fought harder battles. Pm glad I gave him a bite and a sup!

For the display of human emotions on a grand scale there are few situa­ tion’s that can compare with that which was furnished by the de­ parture of a regiment from the county-sea* of its organutation to the front. At such fim< s more than one hundred meu, largely the youth of the vicinity, were leaving home, many of them for the first time iu their lives, on a dnngerpus service hundreds of mites away. To those who were going there was always the feeling of excitemeut to sustain them iu the sorrowful parting; that kind of buoyant spirit wluch always^ attends untried anti un­ known-adventure. With the parents, the wives, the sweethearts who thronged by the thousands to the vil­ lage to say their aad farewells, it was far different. They knew that their lovo.1 ones were simply treading in the path of duty, hard and stern as it was; out the heart, woman's heart especi­ ally, will cry aloud for it* idols, and it was more like the bitterness of the last parting than aught else, to give them And so, after the usual presenta•fibn of swords, belts and sashes to offi­ cers. the singing ami playing of nation­ al ain>, the oration by some eloquent lawyer or divine, came ---- Um *ti<Moa partings, aneb as prwss Tba lite cat ot )oanx Uo.ins. and eno*tin; slabs Such scenes were of common occur­ rence in the summer aud fall of 1862 all over the Northern States. It i* to one such, occurring in Western Ohio, that the attention of the reader is di­ rected. Possibly three hundred couple were sundered by thi* parting who wore as young, as (lovoted, and as grieved by the )>arting sa were Elbert Thorn and Emily Burt They shared to the fall measure the sorrow* aud the bopes of such a time. The more thoughtful of the girls realized, as did all the moth­ ers, that many ot these brave lads could never return from the South; and they prayed (as she did) that night in it* sloepleas hours, "O God, preserve him *nd bring him badk ante to me.” Thst winter passed; the spring and eummf.r brought the Vicksburg cam­ paign. Before the end of it earue the village had a sensation. The minister caused to l>e inserted in th* paper a notice of- the marriage of Elbert Thoro and & ' ’ ' „ _ week prior to the departure of th’regiment. Mfe*. it is true," said the good man. "They wauled it kept secret, for Elbert feared that his father would cut him off if he married a poor girt Bui it is necesaary for her now that the fact be known 4 Mr. Thorn waa a stern man, but an intense patriot, and the distress of poor Emily when her boy was b>m "Inquire at the hospital,” suggested the Colonel. "Nothing more has been’ learned of Sergeant Thorn; .1 'can think of nothing else that you can do." They went to the great general hos{>ital, and asked at the office for the ost one. A clerk ran over some very long printed lists. "Elbert Thorn?—Ohio?" he said. “Whv, yes; we have such a man here. I will call the surgeon; he will know if £•00’can oeqhim.” Hope sprang up madly with the twords. The lost was found! The doctor came and heard the statement of the father, saw the agi­ tation of the wife. He referred to the Tecord. “The man was wounded at Franklin, it seems,” he said, "and is reported this morning *,convalescent.’ Yes, you may see him. Steward, show this gentle­ man aud lady to cot 731, Ward D." They traversed the long halls, filled with clean white beds, and stopp-?d at one indicated by their guide. A bitter disappointment was theirs. Tho pa­ tient was a middle-aged man, not in the least resembling the object of their search; the card tacked on the cot bore jibe name Albert Thom. : Tho weary searchers remained at Nashville a’week. Thov visited the battle-field at Franklin. Not the slight­ est clow was found to show the fate of the lost one. They set their faces home­ ward in SLdue«s. The war<acted; years passed. Young Ellwart Thom was eighteen. The Louxjlj of his grandfather had brought him up and liberally educated luta, and the promise of Mr. Th<H?to Emily had lieen well kept ThrMiurdens of life bad been lightened for her, but her great sorrow was hardly lessened; tbe memory of her soldier, her hus­ band of one brief -week, ws* with her day and night A reunion of the Blue and Gray on the’field of Franklin was advertised. “Let us go," she said to her boy. “I "want to show you where your father fought for his country, and was last seen, before this groat mystery swal­ lowed him Irom ua.” Up >u that field the veterans surviv­ ing the struggle clasped hand* and fraternally fought the struggle o’er again. A grizzled Georgian looked intently at this mother mid son, and ■touched his hat to Emily. “1 beg your pardon, madam; thia young gentleman reminds me strongly of something that happened here eighteen years ago. Among our prisomrs was one mortally wounded, a fine voting fellow with a face ever so much like thi* one. I brought him some water, and he tried dreadful hard to talk, but he waa too far gom*. When he died, he had got me to feeling so badly for him that I took the body just over there to the hank of tho HaqMjth River and boric*! it, for I thought it might happen that I should find his Loved one* some day. I know the spot.” •• “Waa there nothing you could iden­ tify him by?" Emily oakel. “Only this letter that I t_ok from hi* pocket’ : He took it from hi* diary and handed ■it to her.

Before tho stern hammer at tho vera­ cious historian falls the beautiful struc­ ture that Bead reared in "Sheridan's Hide." In his “Personal Memoirs" Sheridan himself tells tho story, which, is graphic and interesting enough, but very much less so than the poem. In tlie first place he not “twenty miles "away,” out a little ro*ne than eleven. Instead of galloping all the distance over the "smooth, hard high­ way loading down," ha met the retreat­ ing troops before ho got half a mile from Winchester, and from that onp kept in the fields most of the way. Be did rally the troops and he “saved tho day," but that is atout all that is saved of the poem, which is a melancholy wreck when the "Memoirs” get through with the story.

Few of Son Francisco’s jeuitease doreex with hate a-rock and cones a-tip, gavo more than a passing glance at tho white-haired old gentleman. The lat­ ter sot and eyed them all, and seemed to note their air of indifference with an amused expression of his dark gleaming eye, which lay hidden l»ehind an over­ hanging brow frosted with silver. How many of the gilded youth bent only on a meridian cocktail and noonday lunch could have even guess d at the aged man'a identity, and if they had known it, bow few tfint would not have stared at him! And well they might. The old man—trim, erect, scrupu­ lously neat, and with an air that some­ how is not often seen in the present generation—is one of the few living and well-preserved of the mightiest performers in a nation’s tragedy. Gen­ erals Grant and Lee are gone. Han­ cock, Ewell, Hooker, Hood, Jeb Stuart, Pemberton—and now last and foremost of the recent survivor*, Sher­ idan; ha* been laid to rest at Arlington. The two most distinguished of the commander* of tho two great contend­ ing armies, Sherman and Joseph E. Johnston, are yet living, and of the reallv great one* on either side, they are left. Younger people who see the old General hardly realize that he is tho solo survivor of the distinguished Con­ federate leaders. He is the last of the officers of that army who bore the fall rank of General. There were but three of these—Leo, Johnston and Thomas J. Jackson'(Stonewall), killed atChanoellorsvillc. The leader* more closely remembered by the generation of to­ day-men like Beauregard, Early, Longstreet, Pemberton, Ewell, the younger Lees and Hood—w4ore Lieu­ tenant Genorals. There were scores of Major Generals. Nearly all of these who attaiied distinction or filled the world's eys in a great degree are gone. The only nsmrs now recalled of those of tho living who were the subordinate* of the old, gray-haired leader in tho rocking-chair are Longstreet,Jleanre­ gard, Early, Wade Hampton and Fitxhngh Lee. One memory of tho war he will speak of—one hero of the Uniod forces he is ever ready to discuss—Gt m ral Sherman. Let the name of Sherman be mentioned and the chances are that tbe old man's rye will soften, and he will say: "WeH, it’s all over, but ‘Tecump’ and I w< re classmate*.” And so it was. These two h:ghestranked combatants now living studied logarithms, made field-note* of en­ gineering defenses, rode horses in cav­ alry tactics, went out to old I?enny Haven's place for pop and ginger beer together, and now, when both have fought tliair fight and the years are gone, those whose rare privilege it i* to seo the two together and witnesi their antics often wonder if. after all, there ever was a war. ff-—jwA. • AMUEL A, AMbraze, a Corporal in Company B.

Recent­ ly the old. gentleman sold some cattle and realised $135 ou the sale. This fact, and the supposition that more money was in the house, is tbe alleged cause of an almost triple murder. Within a few miles of the Stochal home August Tonto has lived for some time. Tonto borrowed a repeating shotgun, loaded it aud visited the Stochal* He left abont G o'clock p. m., but returned I etween N and 9 o'clock, and approaching ote of the win­ dows fired four shots.

Tho druggist found his own bismuth bottle filled with with corrosive sublimate, aud thinks the awful mistake was made by the wholesale house.

BY MRS. NINA LAWSON. CHAPTER XXX. Thomas delivered the message to his 'mistress, and Slid that his master 'seemed in an awful hurry and excited overtomething. Ray did not come back as hehal promised. It wai long pad midnight, and the anxious, weary little wife was standing st the windo-v that overlooked the avenue, listening an l straining her -eye3, to catch, if ]K>ssible, n glimpse of her Ray. “I know something has happened— • something is wrong—or ho would be baejf long before this. 1 cannot en-dare this suspense any longer, for I know he is in trouble—something is wrong.” The little fairy-like form, in its long white robe, with long golden curls flowing down her back, quietly glided to her maid’s room, and awakened her. “Get up, Lula, and dress me •quickly, for 1 must know where he is." Lenora than went back to her own room, and pulled the long silken cord that would ring the alarm-i>elL Faithful old Tom was there in a min-•ute. “Thomas, you must go with me in search of your master; you know when he went away, and he has not yet re­ turned. Something has happened, or lie would be here Im*fore this; it is now past one o’clock; have a carriage ready .instantly, and drive mo to the-city yourself. I can trust you." “All right, missus; I’ll l»o rendv in jest a few minits, and you may oilers reckon on Tom." In but a few minutes a elosjnl car­ riage was driven from tho Bristol man•sion and rapidly flying toward tho city. Its only occupant was a little pale, -shivering woman, very richly dressed, but carrying a »-ad, aching heart. The carriage was driven to the hotel •when) Ray often lunch -d, but he was not there, md h ul not been that day. Them is went to every hotel in the -city, but Hay was not there, and the ■anxious little wife was cimpeded to re­ ceive the same answer every time. “Not socn here to-day.” ’ .T',.st as Lenora was leaving the ho­ ld she had b*en waiting at, a boy came running into the office and informed the clerk that a horse hal Immju left nt •a livery stable, and that it belonged to the master of the Bristol mansion. He did’ mt know who had left it there, but the party had gone to Chi««gn. This bit of news relieved Lenora 'so new hat, and yet she did not feel ■altogether satisfied; h*r husband had gone off and never bidden her good-by or said a word about it; a thing he had never done l-efore. "It w getting quite tat?, Thomas, and tat us go home ntow; perhaps your master will return to-morrow; m d’>ubt but that a tnessagn came for liim while he was here and he was compelled to start immediately.” Night had passed and day dawned. Lenora had not slept all night, and there were great dark circles under her eyee. which only added to her •beauty. That happy smile had gone from her •stained. About nine o’clock or half past of the morning afW Bay’s sudden departure, Lenora nxxived a telegram that almost •brake her poor aching heart. Chicago. III. Nov. 23, 1876. -Mrs. Bristol, of Bristol Mansion: i she look there of unutterable pain that for honre. She saw him as he pa-red the floor, and heard him vow revenge upon he knew not who; and as he left the libra­ ry to go to the city a low, scornful laugh of triumph rang through tho room, and Jeannette camo out from her hiding place. She knew only too well what ho was nuthing into, and what would happen that night. That piteous wail that escaped Le­ nora’s lips brought most of the servants to her room. As they entered they saw their mis’.ress lying, os if dead, upon the floor. • Jeannette was theremand recovered from the fright quickly. “She has o ily fainted; run for some water and the smelling salte.” But the salts anl water were of little avail, for Lenora lay for hours in that unconscious condition, and Jeannette b?gnn to fear that the blow had been too severe for her rival. She did not care whether Lenora re­ covered or not, but she waa afraid of that ever-haunting vision, and believed that she would lie struck dead. • Finally she and the servants suc­ ceeded in restoring the little mistress of the mansion to consciousness, and what a bitter, bitter consciousness it was. AU was-lost to her now, and the world seemed empty. She wanted to die, and asked the nervanta why they had brought her bock to life; slie lay on tho sofa for some time, where they had placed her; there were now but little signs of life, only occasional!v the lids would rise, and a pair of such usd, dreamy eyes would gaze round tho room, and rest that gaze long and wist­ fully upon the portrait of a tine, noble­ looking man, that hung ou the waU. The eyes were dry, and not a tear would come to her relief, and there was no one there to speak a word of ©omfort’to the heart-broken little wife. ’ • An she lay there many things passed through her mind, and she realized that she had a duty to perform; aye, what u sad one, too. She must go for her dead husband. “Lola, bring me some wino, and then you must pack Kime valises, for I must go to Chicago on the first train.” “My dear-lady, I fear you are not able to take sneL a journey." “Yes, I will feel stronger in a little while, and no one can go to him but me; how much I wish Mother Bristol were here.” She drank the wine and ate a little toast that the cook had sent up to her. In a short time she went into the nur­ sery to see her babe. . "My little darling—all tliat is left on earth to me—as dearly as I love you, I pray God may take you from this cold, wicked world now, if your future is to be as dark and sad as mine. “Father in heaven, con you not see what I have to bear, and do you not pity me? “Will you not send one spark of com­ fort to me now, in these dark hours ? What have I ever done, Father, that I must suffer so, mid love so much, and then lose all? 1 cannot believe that my darling took his own life. No; he was too uood, too brave for that. Some one has killed him, and now he waits for baby and mo in the pearly halls of heaven. Oh, Father, either give me strength to bear my burden or take me to him now. Have mercy on me, oh, God!—pity me!" • Lenora had knelt by the side of the couch on which her baby lay, and hail taken it in her arms and pressed it close to her bosom. As she ceased praying, the hot, scalding tears, like so many drops of blood, now coursed down her pale, sunken die ks. Those tears were the first she had shod since that awful telegram came, and they seemed to re­ lievo her, for she mss from her kneel­ ing position and loidther babe back on the couch, aud then returned to her Those few hours of untold misery had made a great change in her: tihe was now a woman, and had decided to bravo this great sorrow the best she could. Lenora was no longer the girl­ wife, but a woman, saddened, os if »he had lived years of sorrow and not hours. As she watered the room there was an expression on her face that Imd never been there before: she looked like an angel of light, saddened by the sins of the world. The valises were soon packed, and everything was ready for them to start to the depot Thomas and Lula were to go with Lenora, but she did not say one word to Jeanuotte about going. Since the night of the ball, almost two years ago. bhe instinctively shrank from’ the dark beauty. Although she did not like Jeannette, yet there had never a shadow of donut crossed her mind but that she was her friend, and that she really pitied her in her great trouble. The train was on time, and Lenora, with two of her servants, was rapidly whirling toward Chicaga It was rather late when the train stopped nt the great city. Lenora wa< driven immediatelv to the Pacific. Hotel and ushered to a parlor by one whom she presumed was a jx rter of the hotel. “Rooms for the night, lady ?" "No; I have come for the body of my dead husband—Captain Raymond Bristol.’ The porter smiled rather strangely at her statement, but replied very promptly: "Why. madam, didn’t the telegram state that he committed suicide ? He came here about midnight last night to meet a party—on business, I sup­ pose—and this morning when I went to call him there was n? one in the room, but I found a note lying on a table and a letter was hing beside it. Pacific Hotel. Sam. ’ Ah Lenora’s eyes rested on those few words a scream of such awful ogoov rang through the whole mansion that it •eat a chill to the heart of every one ' «a it Even the heartless Jeannette, who (jad all the while appeared anxious, and almost wild writh fear, at the nonatypeenuMw. of Hay, w as startled, and a be sent to you, and that he was tired enU-red of life, and that the bed of the lake hd? heart; butahehad bef would be a good re ting-place.

But Gerald noticed that he kept one hand on the ring of a padlocked iron box be­ side him as ho talked. “Well, young man, and what do you want ?” he asked impatiently, when the old woman, who evidently considered Gerald wa* no subject for tho hot water treatment, showed him in. “To inquire after your health’, Cousin HirAn,” said the voung man, smoothly. “Humph! My health is well enough. Better than you wish it, I dare say!” “My dear sir-----“But it will make no difference to you,” acidly went on the old man, still nervously fingering the ring* of the tax. “I’don’t deny that I have a treas­ ure to leave behind” (Gerald’s eyes glistened), “but it will ta given’to those who consult my wishes moro than you have done." ’ “But, my dear cousin-------" “Woqls ’are all very well,” said tho old man, shrugging his shoulder*, “but deeds speak the louder.

For nearly a month four hundred patriotic moles had been burrowing in the ground, carrying out tho earth in cracker boxes, concealing it from tho enemy’s view with underbrush and steadily under­ mining tho fort of tho unsuspecting foe. Night and day tho work goes on, and all heart* are centered on the proj­ ect, which, if successful, jwill insure the canturo of Petersburg, and, in all probability, the fall of Richmond. The evening of July 29 is at band, and under tho doomea fort 8,000 pounds of powder lie wiih deadly destruction emtadied in it* inert mass.

The suspense is painiuh Minutes seem hours, and yet no un­ usual sound disturbs the peace of that July morning. At lout two heroic spirits, a commissioned and a non­ commissioned officer of tho Forty­ eighth Pennaylvonyi, volunteer to en­ ter the mine and learn the cause of the delay or failure. It seemed almost certain death for them to enter tbe tunnel. The explosion is liable to oc­ cur at any mouuhit and blow them to atoms; -but they wont in. Tho fuse was found defective, and was speedilv replaced, and ere the sun had risen high over the old hills of Virginia the earth shook with the tremor of an earthquake, and through the earth thrown high in the air the exploding powder blazed like lightning, casting a lurid glare upon the confused mass of dismantled guns, shattered caissons, smoking camp equipage, and mangled human bodies. Simultaneously the or­ der to charge rang out, and the Third Division of the Ninth Corps advanced to the slaughter. The enemy, stunnod, almost paralyzed with fear and panic­ str icken, scattered in all directions. Tho concentrated fire from a half-hun­ dred guns made a pandemonium inde­ scribable. Into the vast crater into which the explosion had converted the fort tho troops were huddled. There was a strange and inexplicable delay, which gives tho enemy time to rally their flying forces. The hostile, angry guns enfiladed tho crater with fatal effect The attempt to advance is met with a courage born of despair. A general advance of the corps was or­ dered.

SLIPPED UP. MICHIGAN CENTRAL EXCURSIONS. Some time since three men, charged with burglary, were brought here from Nashville and lodged in jail to await trial at the circuit court. On Friday night they nearly effected an escape. They wrenched ofl one of the bare to their window and using it for a lever broke a bolt head so that the ad­ joining bar was made free. In the morning the result of tbeir work was discovered. A further development in tbe discovery would have soon made them free men. In order to repair the damage the men were removed to an­ other cell and locked Id. While Mr. Leonard, turnkey, was’ down town getting the necessary repairs, they burst open the door of tbe second cell and would have e. oed had not Mrs. Leonard, who beard the noise, rushed up, closed and held fast the door of the corridor, which was all there was keeping the prisoners from their liber­ ty. Mrs. Leonard pluckily held her position until assistance arrived. An examination of tbe timber where the injury was done in both cells showed them to be badly decayed, and de­ cidedly insecure. Doubtless it is the same in all the cells. So that Barry oounty’sjail is not so much of a jail as it might be supposed. It is in almost as good condition as what is called the court house.—Hastings Banner.

These textiles were usually of a solid color, as violet, mad­ der, crocus and the like, ornamentation being given by embroidery and stripes.

The wedding dress was white, the veil, or flanjmen, yellow, tbe shoes of the same color, and the hair in a yellow net ‘ By reference to the picture, it will [be seen that the Roman women wore their hair in various wavs. The most common, howe'er, and the simplest, was to draw it away from the forehead and arrange it in a plait or knot at the back.

Frightened at the unusual sight, the boy ran in search of his mother. •‘Come quick! Something awful’s the matter of Sis. ’cause she got a val­ entine'.’’ he exclaimed.

CHAPTER XXXI—Continued. A scornful smile of triumph flitted across her dark, fiendish face as she threw the letter into Lenora’s lap and left the room to return to her own. As she entered, a horrible vision appeared before her and never left her until the day of her death. . In tho distance was nn elevated throne of gold, atkV upon that throne sat three angels of light that she could easily recognize; to the right sat Ray, to the left Lenora, while in tho center, like a little dove, jiorched Upon their shoulders, rested the little babe. On one side of the throne stood the angel form of the simpleton, and on tho other that of the nurse; they were ever look­ ing toward the throne, and pointing with their fingers down toward a‘bot­ tomless pit, where the murderess hsw her own image, surrounded with dark, horrible fiends, while in front of her was a great hot fire, and th s.s fiends were dancing abound it, all tho while beckoning her to follow. At sight of this horr.blo vision she staggered to her bod, almost lifeless. So she remained for weeks and. weeks. As Jeannette turned to leave the nursery Lrnora rose from the chair with outstretched arms, u> it she would stop the retreating form, but she could not move and Hj-ecch Mnued to have left her. for she sank to the floor g>uq»ing far breath. Lula was by her side in a second, and drew tho limp little firm to u low couch and laid her down. “My poor little lady, I will always l»c your friend, no matter what may happen. I know they accuse you falsely.” Lenora ns yet could not st eak, but her eyes told how grateful she was for those"few words of comfort; she mo­ tioned to her maid that she wanted some water and Lula soon brought it. The cool water somewhat refreshed her, and the maid bathed the jioor wife’s face and throbbing temples in it. “I feel somewhat bettor now. Lula," she managed to say, “and you may go ,nnd tell tho cook to bring me «omething to cat, with some good, strong wine. “I im so weak, yet I must not give up, for’ there is much for mo to do. I cannot stay under this roof to-night. No; I would not for the world, so falsely accused. “All this must bo the work of my old- enemy, and Jeannette surely c »nnot think" me so low us to live so base and false a life. Go, now, Lula, and do\as I told you." As soon as Lenora was alone she tore open Ray’s letter and read it. It was snort, but the effect it produced upon the poor, heartbroken wife was so great that she never wholly recov­ ered from it. Tho letter ran thus, and in Ray’s owu handwriting, or one that exactly resembled it: 1’ACtwc Hotel. Chicago. IIL. I Nov. 25.1N70. f Mt Dear Little Lina (lor so 1 must call you. aven unto death) —We have both med. greatly. 1 am to blumu as much as your­ self. 1 ought to have been stronger—more of a man—and controlled my feelings better than to have allowed myself to love n per­ son of your character. Not but that rou have acted properly since we first met do I speak of your character: but I have had your life revealed tn me. und It I* such that it even make? mo shudder when I think of it. and then think of inn happy hours and days that wo have spent together. I want to leave all the post—to forget It. for my good name, which I* ruined tor ever—to forget it nil. To forget you. whom I so mad­ ly loved, will be to lone myself tn death, and my resting-place wifi be the bed of tho I can't speak of tho babe; my heart is too full. The pen drops from mr fingers as I write. Good-by. Lina! You were my true heart's mate- the only woman l ever loved—and if Tcould take back my heart. I would. Fare­ well] Why Jeannette Nathan wrote that | letter, convinced as she waa that Ray had once loved her, remains a mystery. Perhaps she knew the depth of Le­ nora's pure, loving nature, and knew that just such -accusation would cut deeper than the most sev<re. Whether this, or whatever was her motive, nothing could have been more cutting, or pierce that poor aching, bleeding heart more than those few lines from Ray, her lost love. As Lenora linuhed reading this let­ ter, in her weakness she sprang from her bed, and threw her arms up over her head, in a strange, wild fash­ ion,- still holding that strange missive tight in her fingers. “Oh, darling—darling—my lost, lost darling! how could you have been so cruel to your poor little wife? “Come back to me—come back just a few momenta, that I may tell you that it is all false, and then die at your feet. “If you wrote that cruel letter, enxna cue has blinded you to the truth, at last. ’ “It seems that my heart will break fnr f 1»a nain is <rrn«i ** She sank d-swn in * chair, and buried her face in Iter lap. and cried sml sobbed as if her heart wks broken; if there ever was a bruken-hearied woman in the world, this poor littlo woman was. The maid had been standing for some time, waiting lor Lenora to be­ came quiet, that she might eat a little. “My dear lady; do not weep so; I have brought you your lunch.” At the sound of, Lula’s voice, Lenoraraised her head and dried her tears. She ate the lunch, and the wine seemed to strengthen her. “I must go now, Lula, to my room, and prepare to leave. ’’ “You are not going to leave tho man­ sion this miserable night, madam?" “Yes; I cannot remain hero ohothor hour under any consideration; I will not slay near i>eople who-do not be­ lieve in me, and so falsely aceme mo," Lenora then went to ner room and took from a drawer in her bureau a photograph of Ray and a little gold locket, which contained two little curls of hair; one was pale gold, cut from the head of her babe; the other a riab dark brown, that sho had cut from Ray's head. The locket she hung round'her neck with a fine gold chain that her hus­ band had bought for her when she was a happy bride, while they were in Cal­ cutta, India; the picture she kissed again and again, and then hid away in the bosom of her dress. "Lula, you have been good and kind to me, and I will divide what money I have with you. Here is one hundred and fifty dollars, just half the sum my poor darling gave me the other day for spending money, and I have not ’had need for it yet.1’ "Oh, my lady, you must not. I do Hot want—it—you may need it—and must keep all yourself." “No, do. I wish you to take half; if I need more, there will be some way provided, no doubt." The maid was compelled to take half, and after Lenora had kissed again and again the chair that Ray sat in while in her room, she loft the man­ sion. alone, friendless and broken­ hearted. It was past midnight and very dark; it was still raining, damp mist was rising from tho earth, while the chilly wind whistled round the corners of the mansion, making a dreary, melan­ choly sound as it swept over the lawn and teased about tir- tall pino trees that dotted it here and there. Oh, the misery, the awful burden that Lenora bore, as sho slowly passed down the long, broad avenue, from the home where -she and her lost love had ones been so happy, blie was going to the city, au-1 intended to take the first train lor Chicago, but os sho entered the thick, dark lor. st, her heart »uok lower and her weary, trembling limbs refused to carry her any farther. An old log lay near the roadside, by the trunk of a tree; she sank down up­ on that and rested her bead against the tree; sho sat there for some time; by and by it Ix-gan to rain harder, and the large, cold drops fell thick and fast upon her pale, upturned face. The cool i-ain drops seemed to revive her. for she again resumed her sod journey. Occasionally in tho distance she could see a dim light; she could not tell how far she hod gone, but it ■seemed miles and miles. On she went and came nearer t > that flickering light. By and by she got so near that she could tec that it was a lang> in the window of a house; <n she went slowly, Step by step, until she stood at the gate of the hom-e, where the light had been placed in the window, it seemed, for her, and she colled it her guiding star. Sho went to the door and gently rapped, but do one open'd it. She rapped again and again, and yet no re­ sponse. The rain began to pour down now ami her clothes were dripping wet. Just os she was f oing to rap again tho door was opened and h r little body, weary and exhausted, fell into the room. CHAPTER XyjL Six months have elapsed since the close of the la-4 chapter. As time changes all things, so did it make a wonderful chiLg? at tho Bristol man­ sion. Raymond Bristol’s s:range d'sappearanoe yet remained a mystery, aud no one knew where his wife had gone, or wlut Lal liecome of the babe. Jeonnetto Nathan still remained at the mansion, but went nowhe.e and received no callers; every oao presumed that she was still mourning for the Iosh of her brother, as she hod o ten c'dli d him, and that she pr.-ferred soli­ tude to the pres.-nce of comforting friends. She wrote the sad news and the public’s opinion to Mrs. Bristol, and the shock was so gteat and sivldea that it almost killed the fond, Icv.ng mother. As yet sho was not able to u-dert ke fhe lorg voyag* ba.k t: Am.riua, and perh-ps would never be able t j return. One night in the middle of April, 1877, a terrific storm arcs? about dusk, and threatened to sweep everything before it. The wind blow a jhrfect hurricane and tore large trees up by tho roots as it pxfs.xl along; the light­ ning fir. shed, whil ■ tho heavens were in a perfect blare of electric fire; the thunder rolled up from the distance and fairly shook the foundation of the Bristol mansion. The stoim seemed to hang for.hours over that once happy but bow dark­ ened and dr sedate home. Th j servants were all gathered together in one room and all shivering with fright, while Jeannette's dark, will-looking eyes told only too plainly her thoughts and feelings. On raged tlist fierce storm unceasingly; the wind and thunder still shook the mansion. By and by the servants sought their beds, too frightened to leave each other, yet too weary to wait for the storm to abate. Jeannette lay dewn upon her bed, un- j dressed, weary and exhausted from fright. For some reason or other she felt strangely oppressed that night; whether it was the storm or nut she could not tell. ■ It grew late and all was still and dark within tha mansion, except tise yhid flashes of lightning that would illumine the whole building every few moment*. Alx»ut midnight the alan* bell rang again and ogam with auch force that tho loud, tbendvring sound* echoed and re-echoed through the halls and corridors. “Help! help! wake up! wake up!" went ringing through tiie whole man­ sion immediately after the ringing of the bell. The voice was a min's voice, and sounded strangely wild and palnfuL As Jeannette could not sleep, she htard the firrt tap of the liell, unt did not leave her room, thinking jt nothing of any importance; but when those piteoua wails for help rang through tbe mansion ahe thought there was s^methin^ strangely familiar in those tones, and immediately arose and turned up the gas in her room. Presently tlw sounds camo nearer, and she could plainly hear footstep* in tho corridor near’ her loom door. The mansion was now filled with hum­ ming sounds, as if many people were talking and passing to and fro in the halls. Jeannette’s door slowly opened, and she came out, looking wild with fright, while her face was ghastly white. An she opened the door, a cold draught of wind fanned her choeks, but she could see nothing; yet xhe could plainly hear voices and footsteps. She cautiously left the room and went down the long corridor toward the, farther end of the building. The lightning still flashed, while the thunder roared even more fiercely; just os she got opposite the room door that the poor lost wife hod occupied, u man came rushing ont, and almost ran against her. • Old, faithful Tom closely followed the man, who looked like a raving maniac; to take a second look at this frightful-looking man, yon would think it was a skeleton, with the skin of a human being stretched over the bones; Up was hktless and «hoeless, while nothing but an old ragged shirt and a pair of d'rty, worn pint* covered his body.

No wonder Jeannette shrank back, frightened still more; sho did not know who he wan. and in the dimly lighted hall it would have been bard to recognize any one, but irequently the hall was illumined bv a lurid flash of । lectricity, and then she could get a better look at him. There wan noth ng about this strange, wild-looking luau that any one could identify him by. except iha broad, noble, white forehead, which br-longcd only to a Bristol—and tliia man stand­ ing in front of Jeannette was none other than Raymond Bristol. “ Where is my wife and babe?” As these words mug clo^r and loud through the ball, there came a continu­ ous blaze of bluish light, followed im­ mediately by a ci ashing peal of thun­ der.

I could have had $10,000 to invested in real estate I would now hare a fortune ample enough to relieve me from my present rustle for wealth. Property has doubled nud trebled in value amce that time, and the growth of the city has been eimply wonderful. During tbe year just past eight million dollars worth of property changed hands. Over a thousand new buildings were erected at an expense of two millions, and a round quarter million of dollars were spent in street improvement*. Ten’ miles of streets were graded, twenty miles of sidewalk laid, and 44,000 feet ot sewerage put in. A motor car line was put into oper­ ation, and all the street car lines ex­ tended. Tbe Northern Pacific railroad company's improvements were over half a million. The volume of business transacted in Tacoma during tbe year was tre­ mendous; tbe commercial transac­ tions alone amounting to five million dollars. The saw mills of the city manufactured 125,000,000 feet of lumber worth two and a quarter millions, of which amount about one-half was ex­ ported. Nearly three million dollars worth of wheat aud a million and a half of coal .were exported. In the matter ot lumber exports Tacoma leads all porta on the Sound, and as to whea' every bushel of surplus of the great inland’ empire is brought here for shipment. The receipts of the North­ ern Pacific Railroad Co. at this ufllcu were nearly two and a half millions of dollars. Mammoth new saw mills are being erected and the lumber cut is computed at 275,000,000 feet for this year.*The largest saw mill now in operation here—and it is the biggest in the territory—employs 200 men nnd has a daily capacity of 230,000 feet. And dow having given you figures enough for the occasion I will try and write something refreshing. Would I had the ability to picture to you, dear News, the charming situ­ ation of thia beautiful city—which has been aptly named the “City of Des­ tiny.” Situated at the head of Com­ mencement bay, it rises from the ever­ green walers in a succession of terraces to an elevation of 300 feet, command­ ing a superb view of Mount Tacoma, 14,440 feet high and covered with the everlasting snows of winter; the rugged Cascades in their green foliage of fin; the Olympic mountains in the distance; the beautiful waters at your feet combine a picturesque view that tunes the heart to do reverential ho­ mage to the Great Artist. When the great Northern Pacific Railroad company decided upon this point as their terminus and determined to here build a city, it made no mis­ take. In a few years there has arisen from a forest of firs a new Venice—a beautiful . metropolis with electric lights, street railroads, palatial hotels aud the other conveniences of a modern city. The Tacoma, built at a cost of $250,000, is the finest hotel in the Pacific northwest There is not a shadow of dsubt but that Tacoma is destined to be the greatest city north of San Francisco. There is now in process of construction a two million smelter, a saw mill which will have a daily capacity of 600,000 feet machine shops and buildings of the Northern Pacific Railroad Co,, to cost half a million, a $100,000 opera house with a seating capacity of 1,100, and business blocks and dwellings ’till you can’t rest The subscriber has travelled a great deal, visited most all of tbe booming towns, and can truth­ fully say that I never saw such good buildings being erected in any new town as are being erected here. Per­ haps some other town may build a greater number, but there is a charm in Tacoma’s nnrivalled situation, bust­ ing wharves, broad avenues, palatial public and business houses and beauti­ ful residences that at once stamps her a metropolis. Last spring Tacoma bad about 12,000 people. To-day she has 22,000, if not more. Her real estate sales for the first month of the new year were over two millions, new business blocks and countless residences are springing up on every hand, and tbe city is just entering upon an unprecedented era of prosperity. Surrounded, as is Tacoma, with varied natural interests, includ­ ing agriculture, lumber, coal, iron, sbipning and manufacturing, she will surely develop into a metropolis that will, within a few ypars, command the admiration of the whole country. country, and return heavily laden with wheat or lumber. She is tbe terminn* of the Northern Pacific railroad, tbo Britiah Columbia, Alaaka, California Cbiaaaod Jojmn. Bbe is a tpUedid No matter what cranks prate about rall roads and land grants, the builders of die Northern Pacific railroad must be written down in the annals of history as publi<benefactors. The completion of tbe Northern Pacific railroad made accessible for settlement In the im­ mense territories of Dakota, Montana, Idaho nnd Washington, millions upon millions of fine agricultural, grazing, mineral and timber lands. It opened up, advertised and developed the country, and made property that had no value before, valuable to an extent impossible to estimate. The com­ pletion of the Northern Pacific railroad brought this wonderful country as near to the over-crowded east, u • was Baltimore to New York fifty years ago. And to-day by ita extension of branch lines in eastern Washington, tapping thousands of acres of wheat lauds heretofore inaccessible. It if* increas­ ing the profits of the farmers hundreds of thousands of dollars annually. Tbe Northern Pacific is a great rail­ road and has mure arable land along jts route than all other so-called trans­ continental Hues combined. Its road­ bed, equipment and running arrange­ ments are as perfect as any railroad. Its Pullman palace sleeping cars; superb diuiug cars, with a service equal to that of any first-class hotel, are as elegant as any in the land. Its free sleepers are fitted up with berths like a Pullman—minus its furnishings, of course—with cooking and bathing con­ veniences, and many high-toned people ride iu them in preference to the reg­ ular coaches. In fact the Northern Pacific has every appliance for tbe safety and comfort of its patrons known in modern railroading, and a. journey over this popular road is a pleasure Instead of a dread. It is tbe only line to this wonderful country aud the tenderfoot who is beguiled into taking another will get left. Mr. Chas. S. Fee, Gen. Pass, aud Tkt. Agt., St. Paul, Minn., will cheerfully furnish all needed iuformatiou in regard to rates, etc. The Northern Pacific still have millions of acres of land for sale upon most reasonable terms and if you are looking for land you cannot do better than write to Chas. B. Lam born, land comtuisrioner, St. Paul; or Paul Schulze*, general land aseut, Tacoma Tbe coming season will witness jthe largest immigration to Washington the country has ever known. Already the advance guard is arriving in numbers that fortells a crush. The discussion of tbe question of admitting Washing­ ton into the sisterhood of states ; her inexhaustable resources and healthful climate, constitute a theme that is told by thousands of tongues aud which must naturally result in a larger growth than ever before. The presen t population of the territory is estimated at 300,000. . In our next letter we shall have more to say of Washington, especially the Puget sound countiy. Yours, Orno Stroms. The assassination at Plnmmerville, Ark., last week of Col. John M. Clay ton, the republican candidate for con­ gress in the Second District of that state in the recent campaign, was un­ doubtedly a political crime. Colonel Clayton was in PlnmmeryiHe taking testimony to be used to contest his op­ ponent, Congressman C. R. Breckin­ ridge’s claim to represent the district in tbe next congress.. Mr. Brecken­ ridge’s apparent majority in the district was 846; bat Colonel Clayton charged that this result was due to frauds, one of which was committed in Plummerville on the night of the election when four masked men seized and carried off the ballot boxes, which have not yet been recovered. Plnmmerville is con­ ceded by Mr. Breckenridge to have given a majority ot from 400 to 450 for Colonel Clayton, while tbe republicans claimed 500. Tbe obvious inference is that tbe boxes were stolen by dem­ ocrats to prevent tbe republican canI didate from carrying the district, and honest democrats do not deny th.it this is a fair inference. Colonel Clay­ ton had secured over a hundred depo­ sitions in^Plummerrille concerning the fraud, and it is evident that the robbers, fearing that they would be discovered or that the republican candidate would carry his case, resolved to end the con­ test by assassinating tbe contestant. Hr was shot and isntantly killed while in bis room at night, receiving a load of buck-shot in his neck, through a window. No clue bss b**en discovered to tbe mumMins. The crime is of a most atrocious character. The mur­ dered man is highly spoken of by dem­ ocrats as well as republicans and no motive for ths net other than political difference is suspected. A c^pspiracy to prevent by murder the investigation of election frauds in the Second Con­ gressional District of Florida was dis­ covered late last week, and only frus­ trated by prompt action on tbe part of citixens, snerifl and governor. Aasass ination of political opponents has not been uncommon in Louisiana, Missis­ sippi and other southern states; but few such Crimea have stained the honor of Arkansas. There has been little to complain of in the conduct of elections in that state; ana the crime at Plnmmerville has been followed by such an outburst of indignation, without re­ gard to political lines, and by such prompt and energetic action by tire governor and tbe legislature for the tracking ot the criminals that it is im­ possible to believe that public seoti- self of responsibility for it by denouncIng it and preparing to punish it. strengthens the Vocal Organs; allay* When this spirit takes possession of -soreneas of tho Lungs; prevent* Con­ the gulf states and of South Carolina, sumption, and, even in advanced stages of bullets and bludgeon will cease to be that tllseaae, relievo* Coughing and induces legitimate pol'tics.

Does the law of the state df Michigan bind the county to do tills! Let us see: In Howell’s Annotated Statutes of the state of Michigan of Public Acts 9877, page 50, it will be seen that the law expressly declares that each organized cornnty shall, at it* own cost and expense, provide at the county seat a suitable court house and fire proof offices. The same tew that makes the county tbe possessor of all the evidence of titles to real es­ tate, which gives to it the custody of ail papers allowing what has been done in the various law suits tried In circuit court, which keeps the legislative and financial history of the county with tbe clerk aud treasurer, which compete the bonds and accounts of executors, adminis­ trator* and guardians to be filed with the pro­ bate judge. This same law, the tew of the state, also declares that each organized county shall provide a suitable court house and fire proof offices. Why shouldn't It so provide! If tbe law, as It certainly does, takes away from tbe citizen and gives to tbe county tbe poeresAion ot this awfully Important evidence, should It not also compel the county to proper­ ly protect this evidence! The writer believes that nothing te more certain than that the law does'provide Just as thoroughly that tbe county shall protect this all-important evidence as it provides that the keeping of it shall be with the county, and not with the citizen. For the proper transaction of its business, which includes the protection of this evi­ dence and the keeping of It in proper form, Barrv county p*ys an average of f'JO.lMXi yearly as county taxes. Suppose it were to pay that sum to an Individual for that purpose for a Steep tbe books tn the register’s aud treasurer's office, or the papers and books in the clerk's Office, Id such a flre-trap as the present court bouse: or allow tbe records in the probate of­ fice to be kept in tbe recoud story of a brick building that was flanked on tbe west by a row of wooden buildings, with no possibility of saving the books or the records of over 2,000 The people of Barry county would mob a board of supervisors that would pay 820,000 for such a miserably loose and awfully danger­ ous way of doing business.

PRISON RBFUHM. In our expressionajeoncerning this important question, we shall chiefly confine ourself to the Views of the worthy and efficient warden of Jackson prison, as expressed tn his last blennial report. Two methods should be applied to the criminal class, perpetual confinement, so that they cannot violate law and reformation, so that they will not desire to do harm The state has a much higher duty to perform than simply to retain the prisoner for the term of nls sentence and then turn him out to resume his old life with renewed zeal, stimulated by long confinement and strengthened by J long associa­ tion with the worst criminal types. The pro­ tection of society is the only object of Imprisonment. ~ To ‘be de privet) ‘ ‘ of* *liberty “ _ la ’ pun* tahment, but this is no port of the object. It Is only Incidental to tbe process. At present pro­ tection It afforded against a criminal during hia confinement, but if be lie thoroughly re­ formed during that time society would be pro­ tected for al) time. If tbe prisoner is incapable of reformation he should not tie discharged at alL Hia right to liberty should depend upon hia ability to properly use It. His Imprison­ ment is not retributive, but correctional, and when lie 1ms established hia willingness to : properly regsru the righto of property and pergood citizens, uot bad ones. The whole object of all criminal Institution* should be to prepare every inmate far citizenship. Crime can only be removed by long continued application of second, mental development; third, moral and religious training.

Editor: An Item appeared in your paper last week regarding a certain letter that a-as pretended to have been sent to one of tbe members of the Woodland township board, re­ garding licensing a saloon. Now the facts of the case arc these: No member of the board has ever received any such letter nor knew ant thing of tbe existence of aueb a letter until wc read the Item in The News. Now the cow­ ardly sneak wbo wrote ibis letter did not have moral stamina enough to direct the letter to any member of the township board, but di­ rected it to the wife of one of item After looking bis letter over and sizing up bls man­ ner of writing and the way he spelled bis word*, concluded that be did not know enough to spell hte own name right was tho reason be di<! not sign bi* name to bis letter.-' This man claim* that bejhas been a lifelong republican but we think the facta In tbe case are that he !>u been a lifelong sorehead, and If It te possi­ ble that we have »uch a shaky republican in our ranks we would do well to give him a trans­ fer card to some unknown political organiza­ tion, for we could not transfer him to tbe dem­ ocrat party, as they would not have such a notorious coward In their party, and we could not transfer him to tbe prohibition party for they claim they want a man to come out and show hte true colors. Now If this man had taken tbe time that be used In writing » «»! poorly spelled letter that be dared not sign, in reading the law regarding the duties of a township board relative to a saloon bond, he would be much more Intelligent than he te now or ever was before.

Warrntx The News: ' There are plain facta, which are sometimes lost sight of by those whom they should the moat concern. In a town like Nashville—an inland town­ dependent on its commerce and mana­ factories, both commerce and manu­ factories are at least equally import­ ant. No matter bow important it may be to hare abundant facilities for banking aud tbe exchanges necessary to conduct commerce, it is plainly evi­ dent that In order for a town to pros­ per there must be manufactories to fur­ nish employment for a large number of workmen. Laborers without work or wages are far from profitable citizens. A town grows and thrives lost in proportion to its busy, thriving population. It is the artisans’ tidy, prosperous, well Im­ proved homes and well-kept families that form the basis—the foundation of the larger towns and cities. Large accumulations of money are necessary to conduct the enterprises that give employment; but a town of all men of wealth would be a stagnation. I have in mind a little town in an eastern state that waa built up of an “aristoc­ racy.” Its two rows of elegant resi deuces on either side of its shady streets were marvels of beautiful aich­ itectuie. Its society was exclusive. Its workmen came from a neighboring town, and when building and repairs were not going on. its streets were aa quiet, on ordinary days, aa the streets of a puritan town on the Sabbath. Its monied men’s wealth was invested in mortgages on some of the surrounding farming country, aud in interest-bear­ ing bonds and stocks of all kinds) Mark the outcome: Forty years pass, and the little town remains about the same aa of old. Its one charch, one school, one store, patronized by the servants, >nd occasionally—for things of trifling importance—by their em­ ployers. But, Just within its very shadow, across the line in an adjoining county, where forty years ago were for only workman's cottages, and tbe homes of tbe so-called bands on the new railroad then being constructed, has sprung up a town of eight or nine thousand Inhabitants, containing four large school buildings, each employins many teachers; six or seven churches, beautiful stores aud pu 'lie buildings of all kinds. While on every side of the town, at suitable distances from its brautiful Madison Square and finely fronted Main street, may be beard the busy whirr of its manufactories, which are the back-bone and sinew of tbe town. These are the secrets, if secret there need be, of its growth and pros­ perity. Iu two railroads did not of themselves, build up the place. True, they helped it onward topard prosperi­ ty ; and were and are. au important aid in all its business enterprises; but iu grimy smoke-stacks pointing skyward, and the large fopr or five storied fac­ tories, employing hundreds, have done more towards its maintenance and growth than both its railroads. Without railroad facilities no town can grow aud prosper to any great ex­ tent; bnt railroad, facilities without some business interests which can be made to utilize them* facilities, would be ef what advantage t g This if something which Nashville might well consider ’at this time, in viow of another line of railroad. Should the contemplated lire from Battle Creek to Bay City be completed by tbe way of Nashville, it will give newopportuuitiea and pro'^abilitiee for our town, which ought to be promptly im­ proved. Let us, of Nashville, ponder on the possibilities, aud not only pon­ der, leaving Sturgis. Athena and other places to work out tbe problem to their own interest, but let the men of this place not only ponder but act. XXX. , ——1 SMS ' Chloe—Good mawning. Aunt Dinah.

The music furnished by Squires’ orchestra, of Grand Rapids, consisting of six pieces, was exceptionally line, and con­ tributed much to the enjoyment of the evening. An excellent supper was served at I he lodge rooms by the ladies, and the receptfcn rooms o£ both the K. of P. and Masonic halls contained card tables for the use of those who did not desire to dance. Ivy Lodge should bo congratulated upon the success of the party. It seems strange that so long as it has been demonstrated in­ numerable times that the people of Nashville and vicinity always show their appreciation for a party of this kind in a highly substantial manner, that they have not the privilege oftener than once a year. AN ALARMING ACCIDENT. A story has just leaked ont which is causing considerable merrimentamong the friends of a certain Nashville busi­ ness man. His work does not re­ quire him to arise at any particular time, but occasionally he desires to cut his sleep short And accordingly he purchased an alarm clock. Upon retiring ho would "set it,” and put it on a stand by h is bedside, but often weakened on his determination to get up when the time came, and as the alarm was 1 oud enough to raise the dead it was an annoyance and he would reach ont and shut it off. The times when be did not want, to get np were more frequent than when he did, and be got in the habit of reaching over, shutting off the noise and going back to sleep. This was inconvenient, for there were times when he really wanted to got np, and he hit upon a scheme to break himself of the habit. He wound and set the clock, as usual, and putting it on the stand ftioved it a few feet away and crawled into bed and went to sleep. The plan worked, for in the morninv he found himself in a heap on the floor and the alarm going like fury. He found in reaching for the clock to stop the noise,' he had HALE’S T\ Ji JL?rUgfSLllQ w— _EXER0I8ES. LOCAL 8PLIMTEB8. E. F. Evans was at Heatings Wednes­ The Evangelical Sunday school en­ day. E.

He came in contact with Feighner in front of W. H. Kleinhan’s and a wordy conflict ensued, which ended in a ring being formed and operations commenced. First round, Bachellor takes the of­ fensive and also a black eye, which Feighner carelessly handed him. Spar­ ring was indulged in for a short time, with varying results, after which time was called. First blood for Feighner. Between first and second rounds an exhibition of .feminine pugilistic skill was witnessed, and Feighner’s face got slightly scratched. Iu the next round both participants bobbed up serenely, and a catcbascatch-cancan was indulged in, ending in Feighner riding around on Bachellor’a neck, and drawing more gore from the neighborhood of Bachellor’s optics. ! Just at this time, when the encounter had reached a high point rof interest, referee C. W, Smith called time in a very emphatic manner, and the partic­ ipants wore "marshaled” up-stairs be­ fore Justice Mills to answer to a charge of disturbing the peace. {While the complaint was bding drawn. Bachellor, with blood in his eye (and all over his face) rushed down stairs to finish the job of demoralizing the frightened populace. He encountered Vet. Over­ smith at the foot of the stairs, and im­ mediately proceeded to mount him, as be would one of the unruly mustangs grazing quietly in his father’s pasture lot. The crowd which had collected at the justice’s office, at this juncture made a rush for the street, overturning a stove and making a sidewalk of several unlucky victims. In a short time a sufficient number of on-lookers got hold of the festive Clar­ ence, and he was marched back to the court room, thus ending one of the most ttiriling incidents of the day. Bachellor pleaded guilty to the charge of disorderly conduct, and paid a fine of $5. He was immediately re­ arrested for assault upon Oversmith, and taken before Esq. Feighner, where he again pleaded guilty and was fined 83 and costs, which he paid. Feighner pleaded not guilty and his trial was ad­ journed till next week. ^Sidney Kocher’s case has been con­ tinued to the next term. ^Joseph Wilson was convicted of fel­ onious assault, he and Dode Smith be­ ing escorted to Jackson prison Thurs­ day m orning by Sheriff Shriner.

For a week before March 4th tho two Washington de­ pots were crowded with people night and day. It is estimated that 250.000 persons from other places were present. How to accommodate them had been ono of tho problems for tho Inauguration Com­ mittee. who appointed several hundred mefi to make a canvass of tho house­ holders who had room to spare and would bo willing to receive one or more of the tourists. In spite of the pre­ cautions all tho available apace was occu­ pied two days before the Inauguration, and tho thousands who arrived on the 2d and 3d of March were left to shift for themselves.

President H&rrieon waa inaugurated on Monday in tbe presence of the larg­ est concourse ever assembled in Wash­ ington. At noon on that day Grover Cleveland laid down tho care* of the Chief Magistracy and Ben­ jamin Harrison took them up; and cit­ izens of every state and territory in the Union was there to witness the scene. It was not a transfer of power by the outgoing to the incoming president; but Mr. Cleveland ceased by expiration of his term to be president. The exercises which accompanied this change in the administration of tho office were very simple. The outgoing president was in all this no more than a passive observer. The incoming pres­ ident simply took the prescribed oath of office, and began immediately to deliver the inaugural address. Thatwhich was official waslthe taking of the oath. All tbe rest, including the pageant which proceeded and followed, even the inaugural address, was unof­ ficial. There were no elaborate offi­ cial ceremonies to add to the i n press ivenees of the scene. But one official, tbe Chief Justice (any other; judicial functionary would have done as well), was necessary to the occasion ; all the rest was voluntary and unofficial. All ibis is eminently befitting the simplici- •. Cto.

If in any state public security is threatened by the ignorance of voters, education is the remedy; and commun­ ities struggling with special embarassmenta connected with the suffrage will have the sympathy and help of tbe peo­ ple if the remedies proposed proceed upon lawful lines. The president adds: . “How shall those who practice elec­ tion frauds recover that respect for the sanctity of the ballot, which is the first condition and obligation of good citi­ zenship! The man who has come to regard the ballot box as a juggler’s hat, has renounced his allegiance.” This is but a hasty review of a very able and suggestive address. It comes to us just on the eve of going to press, and we have simply tried to give our readers an idea of its drift and spirit. It is in all respects an admirable ad­ dress and the country will receive it withe great satisfaction.—New York Independent.___________________ ^Ixrttlc Kauffman baa been engaged to teach the spring term of school in the Matteson district.

There are some people in this district that are finding a^reatdeal of fault with tbe school board because they allow tbe lycetun to be held In the school bouse. If those people will rake over their memory they will recolect a Ume not very far back tn the dim vista of the past when a vote of the district was taken on the question' of holding the school bouse open to public meetings and that the majority said that It should be opened, and farther more the school law of the state of Michigan says that the school bouse shall (not may) be opened to all public meeting* unless otherwise voted by the district. The board have power to dose the bouse against meetings during school days and at do other time. A Sweed living over northeast called on Al.

I told him I had taken Hood's Sarsaparilla, knew what it was, was satisfied with it, and did not want any oilier. When I began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla I was feeling real miserable with dyspepsia, and so weak that at times I could hardly Hood’s stand. I looked like a person in consump­ tion.

He followed thia with his'weight, and held him down. As each weighed 160 ptunde, the fall was terrific. Whan help arrived Davis wm ordered to go on his daily walk with the bther patienta.

Baaitary; Ute teal purpose, a* openly • - - -by some of - -its advocates, - is to pre­ talked vent the sale of dressed beef from other States in tbo cities and villages of Michigau, in tho hope that such restriction will increase tho price of fat cattle, for the benefit of producers who Itve usar enough to local markets to sell on foot. The effect of the proposed enactment would be, if an abattoir should be estab­ lished in Jackson, for instance, to prevent thb sale of dressed beef in Saginaw, Grand Rapids, Detroit, or any other city or vil­ lage of the State. It would prevent farm­ ers from killing at homo and shipping to Saginaw for sale to lumber camps. Local markets would ha^e to be supplied from their immediate vicinage, or else have cattle shipped in by the car load from moronlbtint localities, in order that tho animals might bo inspected before killed for food. There is no complaint that bref sold in our markets endangers the health of con­ sumers. The real purpose of tbe bill is to keep out dressed beef and, if possible, in­ crease tbo price to consumers. It is based upon a false pretense. Like all false pretouaes it would Lo bod morally, and could hardly fail to bo harmful in practice. Its character would prevent its proving bene­ ficial to any class of our people. No provision is made- for protection or exclusion of canned moots or cured hog products. These are put up by the dressedbejf people and are subject to same risk of disease, and would be of just as much i>onaflt to the farmer if excluded. Not enough beef is produced within drjving distance of Jackson to supply tho city markets, nor can enough l>e produced without importing grain for fattening cattle. Michigan's supply of corn is in­ sufficient for home consumption. Each year large quantities are brought from other States to make up tbe deficiency. It will not pay to buy grain to mako beef. •Butchers would be corepelled to buy cattle on the hoof fattened in other States, to supply our markets. This is tbe pla;n alternative of tho proposed low. It would change the form of tho supply, but not the supply ilaolf. It is not probable, therefore, that it would increase the price of hoof, unless, by tho restrictions on tho purchase, it should throw the business into fewer hands aud create a monopoly. Being drawn in tho interest of tho Butchers' National Protective Association, there is no question but it is for their especial advantage, and will make possible tho systematic control of tho price of moat in every community, largo or small, in tbe State. The cost of inspection for tho whole State, if thoroughly done, will bo great, aud practically uselevs, as there has never Imjod an authenticated case of disease or death from eating dreised beef. In 1884 there wore 153 incorporated cities and villages in tho State, containing 720,302 of a lotal.popuUtion of 1,853,G58. The ex­ pense of tho small army of officials must be paid by the people. For what object? To increase tho price of beef if the real purpose of the inspection should bo real­ ized. Is it wise to create this unnecessary ex­ panse? Is it right to attempt, by indirec­ tion. to increase the price of beef? Can it be done by tho proposed law? Will not the jieoplo be injured financially to tbe full extent of the cost of inspection with­ out resultant benefits to any class? Wo confess our inability to discover the least probable benefit to any class of people from such legislation. If beef producers uhould be benefited beef con­ sumers would bo injured. There is no such thing as legislatin'; money into the pockets of one class, by direct or indirect methods, without taking it from other classes who have already earned it. If bsef should be increased in price to con­ sumers in cities and villages by the pro­ posed legislation that would lesson con­ sumption, which vould again reduce the price. Moreover, there is another difficulty to be encoantered. Congress is vested with the power to regulate commerce, and it will be found to be almost impossible, by any trick of legislation, to prevent com­ merce between the* States hi wholesome articles of food. And, furthermore, if possible. is it desirable? Would not ] Michigan's attempt to legislate against Chicago beef, as Germany legislates against American pork, do more harm than good? If Michigan desires even partial non-intercourse with other States bad it not better petition for annexation becoming to women than are tneirown hate. Why ? Simply because the lines of men's hats are pionoanced, un­ broken by' bows and feathers, and sym­ metrical They establish a pleasing harmony of lines in the face beneath them at once. ‘Women's hats are crowd­ • N spring a young ed with furbelows aud frenzies.

Bonnets with bead tops aud trisp satin finishing; bonnet* that avoid ligfft laca and gauze, aud light field-like flowers; bonnets that com­ promise themselves by neither a glimpse of straw nor of felt, but that uro fresh, crisp, and safely suitable for those uncertain months between winter an t spring, as if is recognized by tho feminine mind on millinery bent— these are tho bonnets you want to think about now. Except it bn the color of one's gown­ ing, thorn is absolutely nothing so distractiro, creative, or emphatic of a woman’s beauty as is tho shape and style of her headgear. Yet, instead of uudying all periods and styles and adopting what suits one’s own face, all women rush for “the latest** in the shop window. It is tho combination of you and your hat which must bo charming, stylish, beautiful. It won't do to buy a bat beeatiso it looks stunning on tho wax head in tho window. Women aro railed vain, but how much less atten­ tion they give t > themselves than to tho thing* they wear. Woman tl »n linnets that make frights of them l>e cause the thing happens to please their fancy, or to bathe prevailing shape tniong their friends. That doos not, I suppose, arguo lack <>f vanity 60 .dearly as lack of intelligence. The saucy Knight Templar looking hat given in tho above group ought to ampnasize all tbo piquancy of the treet, level-eyed, soldierly girl. She must have a well-defined oval contour, fnr a thin, long face could not bear the pinched joint Jn front. It is almost impossible to give any rules for the becomingness of hats. Tho reason why one hut makes you lo»k more or le -a charming, and’an­ other turns you into a fright, is often beyond discovery. In some sub 11 o way, I supjMise, an unexpected tilt to a I rim falls into harmony with the lines of the face, and so presents a new and satisfactory KVtnmetry. Witnesi lx>w the hat that suits us well when our g. Lien locks frizzle about our brow, looks like a cheese-basket on a barber-pole if'We brush our hair back from the forehead. Brushing the h&ir buck alters the character of a face, because it reveals new lines o£» o mtour. We mav find the style of hair becoming, and yet be almost un­ able to suit ourselves in hats without the relief that bang# or frizzle decora­ tion i give to the face. In such case the English round hat. built high or low to suit us, and that coines well down on tho forehoid, will be safe.

Ono of the Persian kings caused tho celebrated Attic figs to be set before liim whenever he dined, for one reason, to remind him that the land whero they grew was not yet his. and that, instead of receiving tlve fruit as a trib­ ute, he was obliged to buy it frorr abroad; and, for another, that it waA not only the emblem of health but the most wholesome fruit grown. The fig is now pretty well known to be, es­ pecially at certain seasons, almost the common food of the Italian ]>eople, and for months they may l>e said to live entirely upon it. As Dr. Nichols says, it is not only possible for a man to live upon figs, but, sitting under his own vine apd fig tree, a man has plenty of food and no landlord. When eaten fresh, the fig is a medicine as well as food; and they who eat freely need no potions and no aperients. Full of nu­ trition and all those properties that make it valuable as an article of diet, we are confident that the fig will take a prominent position in the estimation of all who work for and believe in food reform. For myself, I would simply add that, again and again, without liquid of any kind, the luscious green fig, eaten wfth whole-meal bread, has formed s meal at once simple but rich, and, like the Spaniard's salad, fit for a king. The fig is not only very ]x>pular but it is tbe most ancient fruit we cultivate. In many countries the failure of this crop also means starva­ tion and famipe. Trbvelera in Asia Minor and Southern Europe provide themselves with figs and olives As pro­ visions for long journeys, and not only live but grow fat on the diet. The fig has more medicinal properties and more nutriment than any other fruit, with the exception of the olive.—Interior.

Sarsaparilla purifies. * For many centuries there has been a tradition ot a long lost island called Atlantis. The Greek geographers located it in the Atlantic ocean, west of tbe north­ west part of Africa and the Pillars of Hercules. The ser-kings of Atlantis are said to have invaded Europe and Africa, and to have been defeated by tbe Athenians. All the legends agree that it was a vast island, of inexhaustible resources, and inhabited by a race of superior people. For ages this island has exist­ ed only in legendary lore. But now, when th»* light of modern research is turned full upon the investigation, behold the lost Atlantis at our very doors. So the bigoted medical fraternity goes groping about m the dark, seeking fer an Atlantis or Esculapius, when if they would investigate, they would behold the loss of Atlantis at their very door. With their ancient text book, a case of physic, a paper in their waistcoat giveing them license to practice, experi­ ment and dose with their injurious drugs, cauterize and perform unneces­ sary acts, with no person or law to hold them accountable, they continue their bigoted, unjustifiable practice, staring into vacancy, and imagining that they see themselves an Eoculapins. Wrapped in ancient biyrotry, they are crying out against all improvements that have been made in medical sci­ ence. They denounce any new idea advanced by a layman or an opposition school as a fraud. Why ! Because humanity will not be beneQttedTNotat all, but because their specialism did notfmake the discovery. Yet they concede that there is no remedy known to their materia medics that will cure an advanced kidney malady and tbe disease arising there­ from—although many of them know from crowning proof that Warner’s Safe Cure will—unscrupulously treat symptoms and call them a disease when in reality they know they are but symptoms. A few of tbe more honest physicians admit that Warner’s Safe Cure is a valuable remedy, and a great blessing to mankind, but sav, in so many words, when asked why they do not prescribe it, that they cannot according to their code. Nevertheless, the world is fast be­ coming satiQed that the cure for kidney ana liver disease*, in whatever form or condition, has been discovered, and there is no doubt bat what Warner's Safe Core and its fame will live long after such bigotry as we have in­ stanced is dead and buried. The late eminent physician and writ­ er. Dr. J. G. Holland, published in "Scribner’s Monthly," and showed his opinion of such bigotry, and no doubt was satisfied that Atlantis might possibly be discovered in a proprietary medicine, when he wrote editorially, as follows: Nevertheless, it ia a fact that many of the best proprietary medicines of the da} were more successful than many of the physicians, and most of them, it should be remembered, were first dis­ covered or used in actual medical practice. When, however, any shrewd person, knowing tbeir virtue, and fore­ seeing their popularity, aocures and adverthea them, in the opinion of tbe bigoted, all virtue went oat of them.’ Price $1; six, $5.

About three weeks since Miss Clara Schneider, a German girl aged 22 years, came from Chicago and entered the employ of Peter Mowry, sr. of Maple Grove. She had formerly been em­ ployed as assistant in a bakery at 181 North Clark street, jn Chicago, where she bad formed jLhe acquaintance of Ernst Bueachel, also employed there, and the pair had become very good friends, and when Clara left to come to Michigan^ Ernst was broken-hearted. Life soon became such a burden to him that.he decided he could not endure it longer without the company of his sweetheart, and accordingly on Satur­ day night last he left the employ of the baker and determined to follow her. He arrived in Nashville Thursday morning on the 3.80 train, and immedi­ ately started for Mowry’s. He arrived there in good season and was made welcome, eating breakfast with the family. After breakfast Mr. Mowry and his brother Philip started for the fields to work on a drain, leavingJBueachel in the bouse with Mr*. Mowry and Clara. During the course of doing up the morning work, the latter had occa­ sion to step outside the house and Ernst followed jicr out. intercepting her on the step os she was returning. A moment later Mrs. Mowry heard a scream and ran out, to find the couple struggling on the ground. She picked op a broom and commenced to thump Ernst vigorously over the bead, but without seemingly making any im­ pression. Seeing her efforts with the broom were of no avail, she dropped it and picked up a section of three inch tile which chanced to be lying near and retnrned to the attack, but Ernst saw her coming and skipped. It was discovered then that Clara’s hand was badly cut, as though with a knife, and her dress was also cut, across the breast, but fortunately not cut through. Buschel came to Nash­ ville and was waiting to board a freight train, when Philip and Peter Mowrv, jr„ came in and swore out a warrant for his arrest. Deputy Sheriff Osmun captured him and took him into cus­ tody, and oq a commitment issued by Justice Feighner he was taken to Hast­ ings jail to await his examination, which will occur before Feighner on Monday next. The News interviewed Buschel while he was waiting for the train. He is a young German, bat >20 years old, but looks much younger, is about five feet high, weighs about 125 pounds, has light hair, blue eyes, and a suspicion of a white mustache. He is a harmless looking Little fellow but has wild, rest­ less eyes, which be rolls about inces­ santly. He says he came to this coun-, try from Saxony about three years ago, since which time be has lived in Chi­ cago. That he met Miss Schneider about seven months ago and fell in love with her, and that the reason he followed her was because she told her cousin that she was in trouble through him and was going away to kill her­ self. He fliscovered her whereabouts through a letter which she wrote to her cousin, and immediately started to join her. In response to the inquiry as to why he attacked her, he said she told him she did not like him any more and that made him angry. He claims that be did not use a knife, but that in the struggle she must have cut herself upon a pair of scissors which she had in her hand. The charge against him is assault with intent to commit murder, and the examination next Monday will undoubtedly attract a large crowd.

A GARDEN GROUP. Avoro tho mistake of sowing seed too thickly in hotbeds, as crowded plants spoil quickly if Dot transplanted at just the right time. It is not an easy matter to keep down strawberry runners. Tho bed must bo ex amined frequently. As fast as the runners are pinched off others will appear. It is a safe plan, at least, to test all the garden seeds before planting; at . least, much disappoiutmdht can be avoided in this way. A shallow box will upswer to sow tbo needs in, filled with loamy soil and kept warm. Dr applying manure in tho garden it is very important to have it soluble, as it can not be used unless it is available. It Is important to secure a strong, vigorous growth, and if this Is done good care must be taken to have tho sod rich. Blossoms on potatoes, utuicccssary shooU on vines, maturing seed with others, are useless, and if those are allowed to develop or mature, it is, in a measure, just that much taken from the useful part of the plant. If tbo best results would be secured these should bo taken off.

This rclio of feudal times has now been abolished. Every Japanese is now at liberty to go where he pleases on foot. The revival of beard wearing in England is said to bo duo to two circumstances. An impulse was given to it by tho example of the ihroiigs of heavilv-bearded Germans aud Russians who flocked to tho first great exhibition, and another by tho return of tho British soldiers and officers, entirely un­ shaven, from tho Crimean war. Agmicultviial depression in Europe is not confined to Great Britain, but is felt even more seriously in Russia. Tho high charges for. railway transit, for commission and shipping, the “hopeless indebtedness of all classes possessing land,” tho exhaustion of fertility t>j' overcropping, are all given their duo share of blame for the present state of things.

The bite of the centipede is exceedingly painful for the moment, and is followed, unless the wound is taken care of in season; by great inflammation and high fever. If tho insect is a largo one, and the bite is se­ vere, life is not infrequently lost, especially if the patient is of a delicate constitution. Th* centipedes that live in the United States, certainly the Northern Blates, are, for the moat part, harmless. But the s-ime can not be said of multitudes of the race residing in the West Indic* and other warm climates. In these places the bite of the centipede is not only very painful but often dan genius Like some other animals, thuuppearance of the centipede is against him. Bishop Hebkr speaks of centipede* us being very largo and poisonous iu dif­ ferent parts of India. These insects have occasionally been brought to this country in cargoes of bides from countries where they are abundant, and where their bite is poison­ ous. Some years since a man who was em­ ployed in unloading a vessel in Boston lost hi* life in consequence of a bitu received from a centipede brought to this country in this way. Centipkobs are quite ready to stand on tho defensive when they are attacked, and when they consider themselves in danger. Their disposition to bite renders them rather troublesome bedfellows. When they get into bed the least movement of tho sleeper over whom they may be crawling, and who can hardly fail to be disturbed by their sharp, pointed feet and claws acting on hi* skin, is almost sure to provoke a ven­ omous bite, which will be frequently re­ peated if the midnight visitor is not re­ moved from the bed. OPTICAL SUGGESTIONS. Nkver sleep opposite a window which will throw a flood of strong light on Lhu eyes when you wake In tbe morning. When bathing the face do nof open tho eyes under watc<as this is apt to be in­ jurious to the epithelial covering of tho eye. Shuim on lump or gas burners should be of “milk" or ground glass, never of cq£%. ored glass. X Tn* short-sighted eye is essentially a diseased eye, and should be treated as such. It affect* by preference those woo use their eye* constantly for fine or neat work, aud is almost unknown among un­ civilized nation*. Ix all institutions, particularly for chil­ dren, where the eyes arc required to do close work, the proportion of ths square surface of the windows to tbo square sur­ face of the floor should never fall below one to four.

Suspected of a Crime Ho Novor Committed. * L Written (or This Paper.] T was late one Oc­ tober afternoon, when old Farmer Symms was poking about his large b a r ny ard getting things in shape for . apple-gathering on the morrow. The old man was not in tbo best of humor, for his hired man had loft that morn­ ing without an hour's notice, and it was just the time when help . was needed on the farm, “tho very worst kind.” Tho apple crop was largo and Farmer Symms had a big orchard, and it required a great deal of time and labor to pick the fruit carefully from tho trees, and, after sorting it, to load it up and haul it to market, ten.miles away. “Drat"*111010 hired hon’s!v tho old farmer snappod out as he founded a pail into the box he was making. “They’re wus’n gar broth. When a feller don’ need 'cm they’re mouty anx­ ious to git a job, but when they air needed not a dinged ono of ’em kin a foliar git. I’ll hor ter go now an’ hunt a han’ sum’ers. fer them apples has got tet i>o gethered right off or ther frost’ll git’em. sertain." As the farmer ceased talking he drove tho last nail in the box, and for a moment sat still, with his eye fixed on tho ho-id of tho nail. How long he might have remained thus absorbed in thought, no ono can tell, had he not been aroused by a small voice, saying: “G’evenin’." The old farmer sprang up ns if he had been shot, looked wildly around him on every side, but could see no one. “Humph, reckon I hain’t boon er dureaipin’,’’he mused. “Thatshorely wus somebody as spoke." Then ’ho glanced around again, but seeing no one ho rubbed his eyes and concluded that ho hadn’t heard any voice after alt Ho stooged and picked up his hammer and nails and was turning away when a hearty laugh ar­ rested his attention and looking close­ ly in tho direction from which it camo he saw a pair of bright eyes glistening through a crooked rail fence. For a little while tho farmer gazed at tho eyes and tho small portion of the face that was visible through tho narrow crack and then he said: “What d’yer mean a slippin’ up on er feller that ere way F’ “I never slipped up on nobody," tho small voice replied, and at the same time tho owner of the eyes began to climb up on top of tho fence, where ho soon perched himself in a. comfortable position. The old farmer eyed the ap­ parition in silent wonder and what he saw was a lad of perhaps fourteen years, tall, thin-faced, long-limbed, and dressed in a pair of cotton pants nt least six inches too short at the bot­ tom and equally as much too long a> the top. an old wool hat run up to a peak in the crown and flapped down In the brim. The farmer eyed him all over and then broke out into u laugh, saying: “Wei, yer a nice pickle, by gum. Ha, ha, ha!” and he held his sides and stamped his feet The boy looked on while a brood grim crept over his dirty features, making his mouth resemble a crack In a black log. “Say, whar d’yer come frumF’ the farmer demanded when he got over laughing. “Frum over thar," tbe boy said, jerking his head back in the direction indicated. “Frum ther city?" Now there wasn’t a more generous, kind-hearted man living than Farmer Symms, and no one, no matter how un­ worthy, ever went away from his door hungry. He was just going to say “certainly” in answer to tho boy’s question when he remembered that there was a thousand dollars hid away in the house,- and the thought came to him that the boy. might know of it and rob him in the night. “Them city boys is mighty sharp," ho thought, ••an’ they hain’t no tricks what they hain't up to; an’ a boy like this that hain’t had no trainin’ is mouty apt tor bo bad.” He pondered over the mat­ ter for a minute or so, but at last his discretion gave way to his gonoroelty, and he said: “Sartinly yer can have somethin’ ter eat an’ a place to sleep, an’ ye needn’t do no work to pay for it. Hist down offon there an' come along.” Tho lad “histed down” and followed the old farmer to the house. Mandy, the farmer’s wife, came to the door just as they came into the yard, and seeing the boy she held her hand up over her eyes and took a good, long look at him. Then placing her hands on her hips and folding hor arms akimbo she waited till they camo near, when she exclaimed: “Lan’ o’ gracious. Hank Symms, what is that’ere you airabringin’ with you? an’ where on the ycarth did you fin’ it?" And the good woman laughed till the tears ran from her eyes. Hank told his wife that he know -of the boy and that he wanted something to eat and a place to sleep. Amanda eyed him with distrust, for she had a dread of city boys and felt that it was a great risk to take this ono into the house.

When we read an author's thoughts, we are giving his message to some one. When a pupil realizes that in reading aloud he is to tell something to the other pupils, to interest them, give them his con­ ception of tbe matter, that they are listening to bear what he thinks and understands, ho will be spurred to do his besL Every child should feel that he can read; he knows that he can­ talk, and as reading is simply telling some one's else thoughts so that several may know, it follows that he can read, and, if he is painstaking, may read well. Evep’ pupil should be made to feel that his reading is not to be compared with the reading of either the best or the poorest reader in the class. His rendition depends on hiseducation, bis nature, his experi­ ence, and the teacher should judge his execution from an ideal standpoint, based on his capacity. Pupils under­ stand that in talkingevery word should not bo emphasized. They can readily comprehend that the same principle will hold good in reading. If a word in a sentence is to be em­ phasized, which word shall it be? Usually tbe answer is, Tbe important one. How can we decide which is the important one? Children alone are not at fault in this part of the work; men and women err, and not infre­ quently. In a simple sentence the important word is the one which can not be omitted without Strike oul evo> destroying tbe sense. I * .e out every word except one; the one which will couvcv tho idea is the important one. When the pupil understands which word is to be em­ phasized. tho next query is. how shall it be emphasized? Nine tenths of the pupils will answer. By force or loud­ ness. But by illustrating their theories, they at once perceive a lack,—and will probably suggest pitch, time, pause, emotion, etc. Pupils should be given extracts to illustrate different methods of emphasis.

If a child outside the classroom wqrc to exclaim, “Oh!" the pupils couldreadily determine whether the child were anSr5’’ pioase*!, surprised, or hurt. They see that by the sense of hearing only they can actermine tbe emotional condition of the unseen child. They themselves have experienced emotion, have distinguished ft in their own and comrades’ voices. If they express emotion when talking, they can . when reading, if they understand the ideas clearly and have had a similar experi­ ence. ' They arrive at the point when they see that each selection has a spirit of its own, and that if the spirit* of the reading is not given, the ideas and purpoaea are not truthfully depicted. They realize that if a general were ad­ dressing his troops on the battlefield, he would not address them in a shy bashful way, would not speak to them in a careless, flippant tone, or his soldiers would not be inspired to fol­ low him. The reader may give a different con­ ception, or may express ideas not war­ ranted by tho text In thus reading to himself, his mind becomes more. skill­ ful in formulation, and when he has the opportunity to express the audibly, his expression will have more force and clearness than if bis. mind bad re­ mained inactive. Not only is the pupil’s mind kept active, but tbe ear Is trained to dis­ tinguish any lack, whether mental, emotional, or physical on tbe part of the reader. By the term mental, I mean whether the reader comprehends the idea as a whole, together with its relationship to the other ideas and himself, or but partially. By emotional, whether be gives the correct emotion, or whether be substitutes one emotion for another, or mixes them. By pbysicial, whether he stammers, sjieaks with a nasal tone, breathy voice, or keeps his teeth close together. —Journal of Education. The Care of Books. The care of books is a sabiect con­ cerning which pupils should receive more instruction than is generally given In schools. The need of it is apparent in the soiled, dogeared volumes that are so numerous in every schoolroom. Much of this destruction of property is the result of ignorance train is moving or careleafcnees. Books are the tools I of the student, and be should be taught i pride in their condition ic takes in hit tools. Is ore the first ue<vs<ity in handling of books, and Eternal vigilance on the part of the teacher is the price of a well-ordered school-room. At least once a week every teacher should inspect the books of her scholars. .Let her do it after reading this article and see, what she will find. If they have been used for any considerable time tho majority of the volumes will be dog-eared, a proclivity that can not be stopped when once fairly begun in a book. Many books will exhibit the names of tbe owners, not on the fly-leaves, but also on tbe margins of the pages, some will be marred by comic ponand-ink sketches, of the teacher, per­ haps, showing considerable misapplied ingenuity, and, perhaps, a little talent which needs to be diverted into proper channel*. Here and there, on the pages of the mathematical works, problems will have been solved, while other are filled with their appropriate, or rather inappropriate, marginalia. Tho corners of tho Marne will be cut off, the leaves of. others missing, and -the backs of not a few broken, to say nothing of ink and fruit stains. Tbe teacher being i« loco parentis, this marring of textbooks should not be permitted, if ther are furnished by the parents, and still less if furnished by public funds. It is a common thing to find large dictionaries and other costly works of reference similarly disfigured, or left on window-sills to bo warped and discolored by the sun’s rays, or on hot steam radiators. It is, therefore, not to be wondered at that school directors are usually averse to spend­ ing money for costly books ana ap­ paratus which often last only' a few tenps;through the negligence of tho teachers"4n charge.

Sat*8*' ing that condemned criminals shall be put to death by electricity a storm of peaching the conatitutioqMlity of the statute. Complaint b made that tbo sheriff con Dot carry out tho law. beand that those who xre engaged in electrical pursuits will not make the proper machinery for the occasion; that the plans suggested are faulty, inasmuch as they contemplate causing death by applying the electrical cur­ rent to the brain instead of the heart, and that the tortures of the condemned by the new method will be so horrible that, by comparison, slow strangula­ tion by a rope is ecstncy. Those who projected this reform probably anticipated just such oppo­ sition. Even in an enlightened and progressive country like our own, it is impossible to rid the public of a bar­ barous and unsightly custom, about which clings the cobwebs of ages, without incurring prejudice, ignorance and a little of the old spirit which lin­ gers in every community long after it has ceased to be a live and potential factor. There may bo difficulties to overcome in enforcing tbe law. In dealing with a matter like electricity, about which there is much to learn, the law-makers may not have gone .in­ to details as elaborately as would have been prudent, but that there should be such unconquerable obstacles as is pro­ tended seems preposterous. The sheriff need not be an expert in the first place. Hangmen in America are never, experts, and yet they per­ form their duties as acceptably us their brethren across the water. A button will serve the purpose of a spring, and can be manipulated as easily. The numerous electrical companies in Now York will provide all the parapher­ nalia if offered sufficient inducements. The felon is not executed for his own pleasure or convenience, but to -deter others from committing crime, and the object of the law will be accomplished all the same, whether the current passes through his brain or his heart. As to the tortures, they are purely illusory. No one who has died by electricity has returned to give an ac­ count of his sufferings and certainly during tho brief space intervening between contact with tho current and dissolution tbo victim has not been able to give much satisfactory data on the subject. Those who have recov­ ered froipuM) electric shock, like those who btlve been resuscitated after being in Vjrc water or being hanged, any that th/process of coming to Is infinitely more painful than that of dying. But every large city in the world has had numerous illustrations of death by ‘electricity. A workman climbs a polo and absently touches a wire. Down he drops as dead as a door-nail, without even the fraction of a moment to think of torture. In the same way a citizen drifts against a wire left care­ lessly hanging near lhe sidewalk, and lies on the pavement a mass of inani­ mate clay. He may or may not have tried to shriek, but if ho did it proves nothing except his annulment at tho blow which hurled him Into eternity. Such momentarytpain can scarcely be compared with the writhing# of one w|jo is hanged. If the New York offi­ cials are cornered they can use the electric light wires. One of tbe latter can be conducted into the felon's cell, and if they are as efficient io the cases of condemned murderers os when they tackle innocent and unsuspecting vic­ tims on tbe sidewalks tho felons will scarcely have time to write out their sensations for the newspapers.—Balti­ more American. ^^1’* Willie found,a.

Since publishing the above, The Tradesman ha* detailed a reporter to make a careful Inves­ tigation of tbe method* adopted by the Pat­ rons of lndu»try to accomplish certain results, and be has succeeded In getting at the bottom facts in the matter, tbe plarf being worked sub­ stantially a* follows: One or two schemers strike a town and pick out a merchant—the selection usually de­ volving upon a man who Is not poeaessen of average shrewdness—who Is informed that iu consideration of the payment of the payment of a sum, varying from <10 to <100, to the schemer* that they will turn over to bita the entire trade of from fifty to two hundred families. The schemer* are invariably smooth talkers and the result is, lhe victim usually succumbs to their seductive promises and forks over the sum demanded. The rascals then begin an aggressive campaign among the work­ ing people and fanner*, who are assured th»t they can secure the privilege of buying tbclr supplies at 5 or 10 per cent above cost by paying certain sums to tbe schemer*—usually <1. for tbe beads of families and 50 cents for the wives. This money, like tbe sum paid by tbe merchant, goes onto the pocket of tbcorga- with considerable plunder in their possession. In the meantime the merchant makes arrange­ ments with the Jobbers with whoroe be Is deal­ ing to furnish him two seta of Invoices—ooe giving the genuine prices and the other naming price* which are “swelled" fron 2 to 20 per cent, according to the class of goods bought and the arrangementa previously made. The merchant files the genuine Invoices in his safe, but is free to display the “bulged" bills adding 5 or 10 per cent, to lhe prices theiein named In dealing with h.'s dupes Such, In short.

To the voters of Castleton township: It having come to <tir notice that the fact that Frank McDerby appointed a deputy to till his office of county clerk after his election to that office In 1886, is being used against him tn the present towbshlp canvass, we desire to again call your attention to the following ex­ planation, which was published In the Hastings Banner at the time ot Mr. McDerby’ ret ire men! from office. M. L. Cook, ® o .o M ° 02 s •Jto—< Frank McDerby, the retiring county clerk, has been subjected to unjust censure for not filling the office to which be was elected— county clerk. Mr. McDerby consented, fire weeks after tbe republican county .convention was held to fill a gap on lhe ticket, which no one at the time thought could be successful. He did this after the most persistent importun­ ity, and with the greatest reluctance, and upon the understanding that in case of tbe unlooked for event of his election, be would bare the right to use his ownJudgment aa to whether he should fill tbe office, and should have the the privilege of putting In a deputy whom no one would doubt could fill the office.

Thus wo are told that in Thuringa a servant-girl fell asleep while her champions are shelling nuts, when they observed a little red mouse creep out of her parted lips and run out of the window. One of those present then shook tho sleeper, but, not suc­ ceeding in waking her. moved her to another place. Presently tho mouse ran back to the former place and dash­ ed about seeking the girl, but not find­ ing her it vanished, when tho girl in­ stantly died. A miller cutting fire­ wood in tho Black Forest fell asleep over his work, when his man saw a mouse creep out of his mouth and run away; every ono searched for the ani­ mal. but could not find it, and the miller never awoke. In Bohemia it was con­ sidered dangerous to go to sleep while thirsty, as the soul was sure to wander abroad in search of water. BaringGould tells the story of three laborers, having lost their way in tho woods, and, parched with thirst, seeking in vain for water. At last ono of them lay down and fell asleep, while the others continued their search until they found a spring. After drinking they returned to their comrade, when they saw a little white mouse run out of his mouth, go to tbe spring, drink, and then return to the sleoper. In German superstition tho souls of the dead assume the forms of mice, and when the head of a house dies it is said that even the mice of the house abandon it, and that, in general, every apparition of mice, is considered a funeral presage; the funeral of St. Gertrude, represented surrounded by mice, being th us accounted tor.-Popular Science Monthly. / • neves himself of the weight.

When Bishop Vlad­ imir visited Alaska, Warn ken applied to him for permission to marry his dear Marcia, but again ho met with a re­ fusal. With a determination worthy . of a better cause, ho resolved to en­ deavor to marry his lady love under tho laws of tho United States. He stated to the father that by getting het to Kadjak he thought to enlist the ser­ vices of the school teacher, who is an ordained minister and also acts under a dispensation from Gov. Swinoford-as a justice of tho peace. Wittf many em­ braces aud vows of eternal love ex­ changed in a panotmimic manner, Johnny and his fair Marcia bid adieu. When the vessel returned to the fishery a letter was received from tho fickle mariner stating that "as he oould not obtain work in Kedjak for tho winter his dear Marcia must wait for him till next year. Meanwhile ho would save his money and work hard this winter so as to marry her in tho coming sum­ mer. This letter was written in Russis to the girl’s father and evoked conBiddable wrath on the head of the de­ parted swain. When tho last vessel | left the-fishing station there were ru! mors that the fair Marcia had trans| ferred her affections to a friend of Johnny’s, who remains at tbo station during the present winter.

It may be safely stated that not one drummer in ten likes his situation,says the Trade Review. After the novelty of the life wears off an intense loathing of the road grows upon him.

As most people know, tbe death watch is a small beetle which frequents decayed or rotten wood, and is of lonely and retiring habiu. It is ono of the smallest of the vagipennia, of a dark brown, with irregular bright brown spots, the helmet turning up and the upper lip hard and shining. It produces the ticking sound by pock­ ing at the wood with a small hard proboscis, when in the act of procuring food. Tbe writer once chased down a death watch through a pile of old papers in a cigar box, and was fortun­ ate enough at last to see it at work. The ticking was quite as loud as that of an old-fashioned watch, while the insect was not much larger than the head of a black pin.—Sun Francisco Chronicle. “I go to bed early-at half-past 10.

The Chinese are the greatest eggeaten in the world, Recording to the New York Ledger. They raise more poultry than all the other nations of the earth taken together, and have a way of keeping eggs for forty yean or more in sound condition. The older tbe eggs the more valuable they are, and it is a trick of the Chinese grocer to ring in fresh eggs on his customers whenever he has a chance to cheat them in that way. Our government should at once instruct our consular agents in China to discover what this valuable method for keeping eggs is for the benefit of American poMtryraisers. A MYSTERY OF THE ANCIENTS- • In the special issue No. 52 of the United States consular reports, just published, there is an interesting arti­ cle by Mr. Blissinger, our consul at Beirutt upon the recent discoveries of a Hittite palace and other remains at Marash, on the river . Jihon, in central Turkey, about one hundred miles west of the western-most bend of the Eu­ phrates river. Id 1869 the mound of Jerablus, on the Euphrates, was identified by tbe English consul at Aleppo as tho site of Carchemish. Inscriptions in the Hit­ tite character bad previously been dis­ covered at Ibrcez in Lycaonis. No satisfactory clew to tho rcadingof such inscriptions has yet, it may be observ­ ed. been found. Among the objects discovered at Marash, according to our consul, are two basalt lions, with Hit­ tite writing on one of them identical with that on tho famous Hamath blocks in tho museum of Constantino­ ple. The writing is in raised charac­ ters running from right to left and then from left to right Tho charac­ ters include the heads of men, figures •of oxen, goats, horses, and other ani­ mals. together with hands, feet, and other marks which do not appear to be meant to represent any natural ob­ ject Tho faces and feet of tbo first line look to tho right; those of the second to the left—indicating the direction in which tho writing is to be read. Slabs of black basalt, with Hittite inscrip­ tions, have been discovered in large numbers. One of them has the human figure in bas-rolief. the subject being a man dressod in a long tunic fastened with a girdle. In the hand is a staff. The beard resembles that of Assyrian sculptures, but the hair is gathered-in a roll behind tbe bead, and the shoes are turned up at the toes—a peculiar­ ity of Hittite representations. Another slab depicts two human figures sitting in chairs at a table, tbe menu being bread and fruit. Many slabs have been found at a place eighty miles north of Marash, and a fine inscription has been discov­ ered at Room Kala, sixty nd les east, on the Euphrates. Others have been turned up nt places from twenty to fifty miles south of Marash. It is inferred that Marash in its day was an important Hittite city. The country around has many mysterious mounds of various sizes, but generally from two to four acres in area an’d from fifty to seventy-five feet high, with a level area on top. A fountain of water is nearly always found near. It is supposed by some that these mounds were tho sites of forts, by oth­ ers that they are tho burial-places of kings, and by others still that they were tho bases of watch-towers.

You may, however, be­ fore this war dance ends,” fired the girl, with an emphasis quite unnecessary, bo thought. Ho remained cool under her withering gaze. This was not tho first time the two had crossed swords. Once, not a year, before, bo had actually paid court to tho fiery Mias Joyce. At the time he was led to. believe that she was to inherit a large fortune. A col­ lapse in her father's fortune came sud­ denly, and immediately after, tbe death of tho old speculator. Thon Captain Starbright lost all interest iu the girl, and had bad tho ill grace to make sport of her ut his club. Lura Joyoe had come into possession of the facte, and from being friendly she came to be the -Captain's most relentless enemy. He had more than once felt what it was to have Uus girl's bate, and he real­ ized that it was no small affair. Now she had followed him to Lone Hol­ low, and of course would use her influence to cheat him out of tho million that would fall to the fortunate one who married Grace Penroy. It was this fact that gave tho scheming man such uneasiness and vex­ ation. “Miss Joyce, of what use is it to put your­ self forever in my path !” he finally de­ manded. "If you would only show a proper regard for my feelings, I would be willing to cry quits and use you well in the future. There isn’t the least sense ia our being enemies." . "lam your enemy because I know you, Clinton Btarbright,” she said, grimly. "I know more than you imagine of the part you had in a tragedy of a year ago. 1 am here,for ono thing, to watch you and sec that you toko no unfair advantage of innocenceI suppose you can comprehend that.” “I think 1 ought." "You haven't a spark of honor in your composition," she went on. “I can read you like a book. To me your nature is os transparent as glass. I understand your motive for coming here; I realize the peril in which tho Pcnroys exist, and let me tell you at tho outset that if you win tn the game you arc playing you will have to earn your success." "You speak in riddles. Miss Joyce,” ho retunied, affecting not to understand her meaning. she retorted. “ Again I say yonr language is all a rid­ dle to me. I would like you to explain your­ self, Miss Jgyce." “I do not think it is necessary.”’ “ You doubt my sincerity!” A hurt expression touched his darkly handsome face. There was ono woman liv­ ing who could neither he deceived nor flat­ tered by the dangerously handsome Cap­ tain. a fact that ho was soon to realize to his chagrin. " I have no doubts on the subject.

Honesty and you parted company a long time ago, soon after you come to vears of understanding, I should judge. 1 know why you are a guest at Lone Hollow, and I mean to thwart you in every thing." "This is why you arc here!” “ Perhaps.” He smiled and plucked at bis mustache. However displeased ho might be he failed to show it on his countenance. “ I can afford to laugh at your insinua- tone. “I know how jealous women ar* prompted to do and say things that to sensi­ ble people seem extremely foolish.” He then attempted to rise to bis feet She prevented him with a sudden gesture of angry vehemence. “Coward!” she hissed. “That I could bs jealous of suoh a snake as you is beyond the possibilities.

BY JAMES FRANKLIN FITTS. VERY coinspeaking and writing about our great conflict is to call it a war f the North against the South. While it is true that the Union large majori­ ty of North­ ern-born men and that lhe Confederate urmie. con­ tained a large majority of Southernborn soldiers, it ia also truo that no such description as that of North and South arrayed against each other would convey to a person ignorant of the situation on accurate idea of "how _ we were 4 divided." Now that the ‘ struggle and all it involved are so en­ tirely things of the past, nnd the lapse of nearly a quarter of a century has so largely softened the asperities of tiiat time, it is to me not only a curious but also a pleasant task to review the ground and point out the striking evi­ dences that in many respects the strife was not sectional—that is, not alto­ gether carried on by one geographical division of oar people against tbe other. That there were men and money de­ voted to the Union cause in almost every seceding State is too well settled to be denied. In some of these States, before the irretrievable blow was struck in the firing on Sumter, the sentiment was quite evenly balanced, often seem­ ing to incline to the Union side. The natural result of the first armed col­ lision was to turn Southern opinion to the Confederacy; yet it is an indisput­ able fact that all through the war there were many Union people at the South. For the niost part they were comj>elle<l to remain quiet, out of regard for their safety, aud in some instances were sent beyond the Confederate lines; but there were places, notably Richmond, where this class waa united in a society that held secret meetings, and managed at great risk to convey important in­ formation to Washington and New York. Could the true history of the doiugs of the Richmond Unionists dur­ ing the war be told, it would moke a curious and exciting chapter. Something of a like state of things existed in the North, where there were very many who really wished the suc­ cess of "the Confederate cause, and •ome of whom were not over&crupulous in declaring it. These were not, by any means so-called "rebel emis­ sariesthe latter were a distinct class by themselves. There were people at the North who had never been in the Southern Stat -s, and who had no rela­ tive* there, who still warmly sympa­ thized with the Confederacy, and were willing to aid it whan that could be done without too much personal risk. This state of things made much noise in the politics of the time, but it is proper to refer to it now as showing a curious aspect of the division of senti­ ment Looking at the eo-ealled “border States,” some remarkable fact* a_pj>ear. Possibly the feeling on each side waa more intense there than it was farther North or South. Certainly, in no city of the land were there mare positive Unionists and more eagei secesriouists thin in Baltimore. In Tennessee, Kentucky, and Missouri, these diverse opinions were strong and unyielding. Each of these States *ent whole regi­ ments to both, hostile armies, beside?, thousands of individual recruits. Here is the most convincing proof that th© combatants were not divided by State lines. It wav no rare occurrence in some of the counties of these States for the people to take different sides, and it wore than once happened that on the aame field former neighbors and friends met as armed enemies. FamiliM were often divided by the war in these localities—a father frequently had a nod io each army.

The island of Nantucket Is off the • track of the modern world. The peo­ ple and their customs are very unlike those in any other part of the world— the "off-island part, as the Nantucket­ ers are wont to cal! it. Old fashioned customs and habit* prevail. They know but little eboot the new-faugird manners aud method* of modern social life. They follow the beaten path* of a century ago, live simple, thrifty, laborion* lives, and furnish little busintss for the doctors. They thrive financially and physi­ cally. A visitor at an evening gathering on the island, not long since, tells bow «>ne lady, aged ninety, preaided at the piano, and another, aged eighty-five. danced.VAud yon may take my word for it," adds tiro visitor, "that the dancing was sure-enough dancing, if one might judge from the lady’s snap­ ping eyes, nervous speech and decisive cbaract.;. ' Locality and climate won’d seem to have comparatively little effect on health and longevity if people lived simply, a* nature dictates, aud whrti ailing built up with nature* simple remedies, like Warner’* Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, instead of pulling down the system by using poisonous mineral drags. People who hasten to the physician every time they have a headache or experience any of the minor evidences of nature’* sure revolt against diaolrodience of her law a, will not be found dancing at eighty-five. The mineral poisons of the apothecary lead to early physical decay. The long-lived rugged Nantucketer*, who cn|oy life’* pleasures wi»h octo­ genarian* illustrate what the "offisland” portiop of the. world may ex­ perience if they live by nature’s law and use old fashioned log-cabin reme­ dies of roots and herbs for the ordinary ills that tieah is heir to. , Incredible—“I have seen some pret­ ty remarkable whist hands," san! a drummer as he began to deal. “When I saw one man hold ail thirteen trnrnDs.” "That’s not very unusual," remarked one of his hearers.

From Saco to Eastport numerous petitions In its favor, signed, it is sold, by about twenty thousand citizen*. have been sent to the Legislature. Remonstrances have been forwardtxi by about one thousand and two hundred women, mostly ot Portland aud Bangor. The petitioners include many women of the highest social standing, largo tax­ payers, and almost without exception tiie leader* in charities, reforms and beneficlent public enterprise*. They are representative of the best mental and moral elements of the Suite. The remonstrants are largely composed of "society women.” influential In that class whoso men are often most remiss in the exercise of thoir political duties and everywhere averse to change. It Is a strong argument for the proposed measure that women of this class re­ monstrate on the ground that if the right is conferred they will regard its exercise os a responsibility and a duty —unwelcome, but imperative. This fact affords a well-grounded hope that when the women of. this class vote, the very men who have hitherto refrained will vote with them, thus adding two vote* where now we have none. In the House ex-Governor Robie rep­ resents the Grangers, 20,000 strong, who have by resolution endorsed wo­ man suffrage, and be is himself an ar­ dent suffragist The chairman of tho Senate Judiciary Committee, a man of great ability and force of character, voted for woman suffrage two year* ago, and is believed to be in favor of the bill. Senator Libby, of Portland, is also understood to favor it Many leading Republican* and some Demo­ crats, among the latter Senator Looney, of Cornish, have expressed their inten­ tion to vote for the measure. It is proposed to give women citizens, otherwise qualified, and who can read and write, a vote in town and munici­ pal elections. In 1880 there were in Maine male citizens over twenty-one year* old 195,223. of whom 8,564 were •illiterates, and 11.776 of foreign birth. Of women over twenty-one, there were 189,723, of whom a similar proportion were probably of foreign birth, and 3,005 were illiterates. Woman suf­ frage, therefore, would add to tho 195,­ 223 male votes, in town and municipal elections 181,718 women who can read and write, ten cout of cloven of whom are of native birth. The effect, thereford, would bo to raise tho standard of education and still further to Ameri­ canize tho politics of tho State. Kansas has recently given municipal suffrage to ita women. There is a striking parallelism in the character and political condition of Maine and Kansas. Both are largely Republican, largely American, with a minimum of Illiteracy, and both have prohibition in their State constitutions. Lot us hope that Maine, like Kansas, will grant municipal suffrage to women. In Maine, two years agq, a woman suffrage constitutional amendment re­ ceived a majority vote In both Houses, but failed of tho needed two-thirds. Municipal woman suffrage, for its en­ actment, needs only a majority of both Houses with the assent of the Governor. If reason and not prejudice governed the opponents, wo should expect a much larger vote for this more limited measure than for a change of constitu­ tion. It this bill pass, the Legislature wilT continue to bo elected by men alone. If the participation of women In town and city elections prove un­ welcome to the men it will bo speedily repealed. And its repeal would be the greatest possible obstacle io its further agitation. On the other band. If it proved satisfactory, prejudice would disappear, and further advances would probably follow. Surely if the friends of suffrage are willing to abide by the experiment, its opponent* can afford to do sa But prejudice never discriminates, and the remonstrants of two yesu* ago will oppose this bill as vehemently as they opposed the con­ stitutional amend moat Meanwhile the uniform success of full woman suffrage during the last twenty year* in Wyoming and Wash­ ington Territories, of municipal woman suffrage in Kansas, Canada and Great Britain, and of school suffrage in four­ teen States, can not fail to impress every man who will open his eyes. And the fact that in the U- & Senate, in December, 1887, two-thirds of the Sen­ ator* from Maine to California, north of Mommi and Dixon's line, including one of the Senators from Maine, voted for a woman suffrage constitutional amend­ ment. should have great weight with the Maine Legislature.

Reformatory Institutions are in consonnoce with ;the apint of tbe age in which we live. In every other avenue of life and theatre of action radical fore- has been replaced by conservative reason, old wettiods of tyranny are succeeded by new and wiser means of humanitarian liberality prejudice, big­ otry and error are being supplanted by truthful inveet’uration and calm, dis­ passionate examination. International wars are obviated by treaty and con­ ference; their pen wields a mightier in­ fluence than the sword, and moral and intellectual progress strides ahead of blind fanaticism and.brutal ignorance The present age is the grand fruition of all tho centuries past. Illusions have been dispelled, errors have been corrected, superstition* abandoned and bigotries exposed. Today verified truths alone arc accepted, demonstrat­ ed laws of practicability govern and existent forces of nature are recog­ nized and utilized. The nineteenth cgntury has bidden adieu tb all myths, fancies, idols and goblins. The real stable, known and proven, have usurped their places. Apcient dogmas, beliefs and customs are recalled and studied with profit, as showing the limit ot knowledge, the narrow boundary of investigation and close confines of philosophical thought then ‘ existent, and the contrast with tbe progressive­ ness, invention, culture, growth and development of moral philosophy, ethical manners and humanitarian studies of today, is almost beyond hu­ man comprehension. Martin Luther, inspired by the sentiment, “the just shall live by faith,” exposed the luxury and venality of the papal court and kindled the fires of religious toleration and freedom which inaugurated the modern era. With sublime heroism aud unparalleled bravery, our fore­ fathers, under tbe guidance of God and Washington, secured onr national ex­ istence. eternally guaranteed our po­ litical freedom and forever sanctified American liberty. Tho mission of Christ was to atone for sin and redeem a world. Loye and mercy were his weapons of warfare, and lie taught that they who take the sword perish by it. He came not to call tbe rightbousr but sinners to repentance. His entire ministry was redolent with promises to the penitent and rewards to those who forsake evil and live righteously, Even upon the cross he communed with sinners, and through pardoning grace a thief was permitted to enter paradise by his side. Nowhere in the Testament Scriptures can I read that a man is proscribed for the com­ mission of one sin or several crimes. But upon the other hand the pardon­ ing power is ever extended to the co­ horts of sin, and the invitation to "come" is extended even to the elev­ enth hour. The free school system of to day has been evolved from its prim­ itive state of cruelty—when the birch exemplified the old dogma, "spare tbe rod and spoil the child’’—into the en­ hanced methods, discipline and culture of to day, which are permeated with justice, mercy aud kindness, and sup­ plemented with maxims of love, for­ bearance and forgiveness. In the schools of to day the most successful pedagogue searches for the motive which causes disobedience, and having ascertained this, alone seeks for its re­ moval. The child is awakened to the thought and realization that Wrong­ doing within iteelf provides a punish­ ment, which is always experienced by the evil doer through that inward mon­ itor. whispering clearly and distinctly, “1 have done wrong, and lis always succeeded by feelings of guilt, mortifi­ cation and shamefacedness. Ana when punishment ia inflicted for any misde­ meanor, whether by reprimand, isola­ tion or infliction of painful chastise­ ment. let the child be made to under­ stand tbaWhe punishment is alone for the object of correction, and not for the purpose of deterring, humiliating, debasing or revengeful retribution. All methods of discipline and instruction should be subservient to one ideal obiect, the gradual and symmetrical nnoldine, the growth and development of the intellectnsl and moral percep­ tions of the child, that right motives and actions niny result, 1 ecause they invariably accrue tp the happiness as well as tbe interest of those imbued by them and performing them. These Eractical methods and logical maxims, egun early and persistently put in force, incorrigibility will never exist, and even should it exist prior to the application of these influences, !t must and surely will lie eflaced, and stub­ bornness will give way to geniality, and bad actions will change to kibd manners and good deeds. If above principles will apply bene­ ficially to every age and condition of man, in the outside world, why not to inmates of penal institutions? By con­ tact with others and personal experi­ ences, we have learned that the ma« ter spirit which takes possession and controls ninety per cent of convicts as they bear the prison door clang belli nd them upon their entrance into prison life, is revenge. Prosecuting officers and witnesses have done us an irrepar­ able injury and we thirst for retalia­ tion, and impatiently await opportuni­ ty for malicious payment of the debt we owe them, society at large has bean a willful accessory, and we in­ clude lit in the category of those to whom we owe a little bill long past due, and we firmly resolve to liquidate that indebtedness as soon as opportun­ ity permits, and ere receipting m full, like Shylock—“Exact one pound of flesh.” We all enter prison work filled with Passion, malice and evil. We are charged with the belief that tbe state is inflicting the most tyrannic punish­ ment, for the exclusive object of met­ ing out ito us personal suffering, and the officers of Urn institution are paid hirelings of the state to regulate and administer the dose, and with exhuberant, glee and demoniac suavity they will at all times make us swallow the bitterest dregs and most nauseous de­ coctions. We thus enter the insti tn thin m dis­ cordant elements, hating the state, cursing society and loathing prison officials en masse. We are without a friend, solace, comfort or encourage­ ment. Tbo watchful guard is the sleuth bound we at all times see. The fiendish keeper is ever observant of the slightest infraction of rules and evenr element of our natures is raised to the fullest extent of beligerency.

At any rate there is quite a large per cent of them whose cattle are always lighter in the spring than they were the previous fall, so that a month or six weeks of the best grazing seaaon of the whole year is gone before they make up in the spring the flesh lost during the winter. Lt would be much bettor to have no cattle at all except what are needed to supply the familv than manage them in this way. Tens of thousands of cattle are sold every rear from farms worth $50 and upward an an acre, which do not pay over $1 Eer month for their keeping from irth to the day of sale, and the winter management is to a great extent the cause of this. The only way to make money out of cattle is to have first,-good stockj and secondly, give it good care. FOR THE FARMER.

A peculiar and not altogether pleas­ ing sight about the iron and steel ’work* in this city is the groups of men. women and childrec that are constantly prodding and digging in She cinder dumps, aud are known as •^cobble pickers." The men are al­ ways old and frequently weak and tot­ tering, The marc of poverty is on all the women, and tho children, who are in the majority, are abject-looking <creatures^ud range from tho age of 8 lo 16. Cobbles are the bits of iron and liteel that remain among the cinders .from the furnaces, and are dumped with them on the cinder piles. On tho .gathering of these bits of metal tho samall army of toilers referred to do-peud for thoir living. With hoes and rakes they dig in the cinders as they, are dumped, and struggle, and push and wrangle for tho possession of the xnetal as it is uncovered. Each picker has a basket in which is placed the result of the pickings. Over .200 persons daily delvo on tbo grimy -dump for cobbles. While they will «t*e all manner of means to secure pos­ session of a lucky find in the dumps, after a picker has filled his basket and emptied it on his “pile,” a few feet away, there is not one among the cur­ ious and by no means scrupulous pick­ ers who would touch ono of tho cob­ bles in it Each picker has his or her pile of cobbles.,and the iron company’s teams come around at intervals. The •driver weighs each pile, gives the owner a vouchor for it, and takes the accum­ ulated metal to the scrap heaps to bo xnelted again. The earnings of the -cobble pickers range from $10 to. $40 a month, and <here are women who have been on tho •dumps for years. The case of one woman and ‘her 12-year-old daughter is notorious, because they earn not -only thoir own living, but enough to feed and clothe the husband and father, •who is an employe of the iron works .-and gets $lu0 a month, which he squanders in drink and riotous living .as soon os bo is paid. One old man on •the cobble dumps, who is barely able .to save enough to keep him from ^starving, was once a prominent busisness man worth at least $50,000. The work of cobble picking is one of •the lowest forms of human occupation, and its degrading effect on the young girls and boys engaged in it is only loo apparent Maiy efforts have been made by the church and other societies ia Johnstown to suppress cobble pick­ ing among children, but with indiffer­ ent success.—Johnstown (Pa.)

The problem which the intelligent farmer "must solve in these days of lowpriced cattle is how to winter them at the least rust, and at the same time keep the young cattle growing and thrifty, and tho cows giving a Profit­ able flow of milk, says Waldo F. Brown in the Country Gentleman. I have ex­ perimented to quite an extent in winter feeding of cattle, and I find that in a thoroughly warm stable I can keep my cows up to a full flow of milk, or bring an animal to the spring in good beef condition, on a much lighter grain ration than is generally recommended. If I mistake not. Mr. Stewart usually recommends a grain ration of fifteen pounds a day, and in some cases con­ siderably more. Lost winter I fed five cows, most of them giving milk, and their regular grain ration was ten pounds uf bran and corn and cob' meal, mixed iu proportion of about four pounds of bran to six of the meal. I never had aows do better, or oome to the spring with smoother coats, and any one of them would have made good beef in April. In connection with tills grain ration I feed what fodder my cattle will eat clean at two feeds, and in pleasant weather they ran at the straw-stack from two to four hours in the after­ noon. I weighed the ration or corn and fodder to the cattle several times, and weighed back tho butts they re­ jected, in order to find out what the waste was. and I found that ten pounds nut of fodder was all I could get them to eat without waste, aud that my cattle did remarkably well on their twenty pounds a day, half grain and half fodder. I also found that the waste was very nearly one-third when the fodder was bright and well cured. I found that with this ten pound ration not a cow was off her feed all winter, but if I increased it much I was in danger of over-feeding and having my cows surfeited. The winter before I hnd beets and small potatoes, so as to give each cow a feed of them each day, but my cows did no better and indeed scarcely as well ns when* on this bran aud corn ration. At the prices now prevailing. $13 per ton for bran aud 30 cents per bushel for corn, this ten-pound ration will cost, including grinding of the corn, less than G cents a head a day. I am fortunate in getting my grinding, done nt a neighbor's, less than a fourth of a mile away, for only 4 cents per bushel of seventy pounds. He owns a thrasher, and as ins engine is not in use in winter, and his mill cost only about $1UO, be can afford to grind cheap. These iron mills, geared to rail at a high rate of speed, are a marvel of simplicity, and will grind from twenty-five to’ fifty bushels per hour, the lesser amount so fine as to make it difficult to tell that there is any cob in it, and it will be a great benefit to tlie farmers of any com­ munity if the men owning thrasher engines will introduce them. I had been thoroughly disgusted’ with cob meal, from fin-duig it ground on horse mills, which only cracked the corn and left many pieces of cob as large as F-ains of corn, and I had thought that would never feed cob meal again, but after using the finely ground meal made by these modern mills I am a thorough convert to cob meal, and shall always feed it in winter when it can be had. In our mills, which grind with buhr­ stones, a still cheaper iron mill is now introduced, costing, I think/ $35. which shells the corn, and then it is reground together on the buhrs. To feed a cow or steer 10 pounds a day of this mixed bran and corn and cob meal, for six months (180 flays,)* will require 15 1-2 bushel* of corn and 720 pounds of bran, and I will guarantee that if this is fed to a 1,000-pound animal in a thoroughly warm stable, and it has in addition what it will eat without waste of corn fodder or clover hay. that you will find you have good beef at the opening o'f spring. The animal fed on this ration, however, must not be turned out of doors to shiver all day in cold rains, or a zero temperature; neither must it be made to drink ice-water, nor must the stable in which it is kept bo so well ventilated that it feels every breeze that blows. I have not yet adopted the plan of warming the' water for my stock in winter, but I feel sure it would pay where a dozen head or more are koi>L 1 do however, pump fresh water for them which has a temperature several degrees above the freezing point, and I have a thoroughly warm stable. I have no doubt that a stable double­ boarded with building paper between will save one-third of the food, aud where ten or more cattle are kept I believe this saving in one winter would pay all the cost of the double ooaruiug. Cattle feeders on the prairiee who feed out of doors in all weather, tell me that 3-ycar old steers will eat an average of half a bushel of corn per day through the winter and during cold storms and will often lose in weight, for days nt a time at tbaL 1 wish some of your enterprising readers who are feeding cattle in warm stables this winter would try this ten pound ration for n few months, and report the result next spring. It will not be necessary to weigh the food each day. but you can provide a measure which will hold five Bounds, and give it full to each animal night and morn­ ing. . I have often wintered a fullgrown horse on corn-fodder and a much lighter grain ration than this, and brntighl it through to spring fat and glrMuy. Tbe weather has been excessively wet for six weeks past with t«», so that none of our cur® will do to grind, and I knee liecn feeding soft-ear corn, but ms soon as corn is dry enough I shall have a lot ground atu! lay in bran, and tret my cattle on this ration again, aipx ft »ll report in the spriug kuw they It ;hoy come throngh in good t-Muditinn I shall be greatly pleased, for niy eoru fodder is badly damaged by the wet weather and I have no clover bay.

BCKNK OMB. n Compel.©* 4.500 Ace©* -nd I" MtoekW with TJtrefl Hundred H«*d of C*Ul©- A cold kitchen, the cooking stove choked up with ashes, wooa out-doors, no kindling prepared, the breakfast potatoes in the cellar, and no ■ bread ready for that meal. Mr. Farmer gets up and calls the boys and the hired help; Mrs. F. hur­ ries into the kitchen with hair flying, and this is about what follows: Mrs. F. to boy—“Jimmy, run out and get mo some wood and kindling; Mary, hurry and bring up the potatoes and wash them.” While these orders were being exe­ cuted Mrs. F. cleans out the stove crate preparatory to making the fire. When the fire is started and the pota­ toes on she hurries to make biscuit; after which meat must be fried, coffee be made, and the table set. When breakfast is about half cooked in comes Mr. Farmer from the barn. "Breakfast ready?" “No," says Mrs. F., “it isn't. Do you suppose I can cook breakfast in a minute?" , “The men ought to be in the field this minute, ” says Mr.. F. “There’s time enough wasted here every morn­ ing waiting for breakfast to run a small farm. Why is it we can’t have breakfast earlier? There’s Smith’s bands now going to work. I wish there was such management in this house.” “Perhaps you had better take hold and manage yourself," snaps Mrs. F. “If yuu were like Mi*.

Bnt everything fs left for me to see to, and then you fuss because the meals are not ready tbe minute you want them.

The day has commenced wrong, and throughout all its hours the husband aud wife labor under a cloud. The couplet, “Commence the day well, and well it will end; but poorly begun ’tis a hard thing to mend." is a very true one. If the morning's work is retard­ ed all the duties of the day seem to lag.

SCENE TWO. A cold kitchen; but in tho well-clean­ ed grate of the cooking-stove is fire material just readv for the match. This was put in readiness by Mr. F. the night before. On the back of the stove is a kettle for tbe potatoes, waiting to be placid over the tire. On tho table is a pan of potatoes ready for cooking, and meat sliced for frying. Coffee and coffee-pot were near at hand. Plenty of bread in the bread­ box, and the table set ready for break­ fast Mr. F. gets up, and, after calling his boys and the "help, " proceeds to tho kitchen, lights the fire, puts water in the kettles, and places them over tho 6re. Mrs. F. suon appears, with hair nicely combed. By this time the fire is burning briskly, aud breakfast is soon cooking. Without any tarry or worry on tho housekeeper's part, when the men are through with tho morning "chores” breakfast is waiting for them. There is no loss of time or loss of temper. The farmer and his wife are both gainers by the good management, to say nothing of the comfort of having a fire quickly on o cold morning. There is just so much work to be done in getting breakfast, and where that meal must lie served early for working hands, it is a great help to have some of the work done overnight It is so much pleasanter working in the warm rooms in the evening than to jump out of bed on a Void morning and have to go to work before the fire is well burning. It is by forethought and good management that many of the rough places are smoothed out of the housekeeper’s life.—Country Gen­ tleman. Sugar. The Chinese, who invented almost everything before anybody else heard of it, claim to be the original discover­ ers of the process of sugar-making, and it Is said that sugar was used in China as long ago as 3,000 vears. This is misty, but the fact is well establish­ ed that it was manufactured in China under Tsin dynasty 200 years at least before the Christian era begun. India lias put forward a claim for priority in invention, but the probability is that the Hindoos learned the art of sugarmaking from the Chinese and that through them the knowledge finally spread to the Western nations. Nearchns, when sent by Alexander on an, exploring voyage on the Indus, brought back reports of “honey” which was made by the Asiatics from cane with­ out the help of bees. At this time neither tbe Greeks nor the Jews nor the Babylonians had any knowledge of sugar, but later the art of making the artificial “honey” became known and practiced, though its progress and de­ velopment was exceedingly slow. It was prescribed as a medicine by Galen in A D. 150, aud up to the 17th cen­ tury it had become nothing more than a costly luxury, to be used only on special occasions. Even as late us the beginning of the 18th century the annual consumption of sugar in Great Britain had reached only 20,000.000 pounds, whereas it is now* more than 2,000,000,000 pounds. Rcfiued sugar was uot made in England till lfi59. Tbe art of refining was learned by a Venetian merchant from the Saracens, who sold tbe secret to him fur 100,000 crowns.—Good Housekeeping.

Both ranches will make magnificent places when they are fixed up a little. “It is a popular delusion about Mrs. Langtry’s losing so much money in that wreck on the Erie. She lost but ono horse, which, with the trappings, was valued at $1,500. The horse was a present to her. and she thought a great deal of him. "Fred Gebhardt lost ten horses, and $300,000 wouldn’t begin to replace them. He had repeatedly been offered $40,000 for Eule, and he was but 10 years old, and was good for $5,000 a year for fifteen years al least, which alone is $75,000. Thun Gebhardt also lost several fine mares and two very superior stallions. But notwithstand­ ing this he is suing the Eric company for but $100,000—probably the least sum they would bring if the horsesand equipments had been put up and knocked down under the hammer.”• Mr. Aby said tho suit was set for a hearing in January.

It is de­ duced from the annual aud special re­ ports mode by special officers, clerks, and presidents of local boards of health, physicians, and others. Tbo work that has been accomplished during tho past few years by the State Board of Health in Repressing outbreaks of communicable diseases is almost inestimable, and this department is constantly becoming more efficient. . Whenever information is re­ wived at the office of the State Board of Health of the outbreak of diphtheria, fever, small-pox, measles, whoopingcough, or glanders, a letter is sent to the health officer of the afflicted locality, calling attention to the existence of tho disease within his territory. It indicates his power and also transmits documenta of instruction with regard to the preven­ tion and restriction of the disease, for dietributiou among families especially ex­ posed to it. It is believed that these documents, distributed in this manner, arc doing great good;, for tbe neighbors of the sick are sufficiently alarmed to rend the documents, and are thus led to co­ operate in stamping out tho disease. Tho report shoes that tbe communicable dis­ ease most prevalent during the year was diphtheria, and other contagious diseases in order wt re scarlet fever, typhoid fever, measles. small-pox, and typhus fever. In demonstrating tho practical results of ef­ forts at restricting diphtheria, it is shown that in 118 outbreaks in which isolation or disinfection or both were neglected, there averaged 11.79 cases and 2.71 deaths per outbreak, while in 78 outbreaks in which isolation and disinfection ware loth enforced, there averaged only 2.54 cases and .65 deaths per out­ break, indicating a saving of 9.25 cases and 2.00 lives per outbreak. Thus the local boards of health and office :s who faithfully enforced restrictive measures have tho s itisfaction of knowing that their efforts have proved a solid advantage in preventing much sickness and many deaths. The same result was attained with referenle to scarlet fever and other contagious diseases. It appears from tho report that of the two diseases, diptheria and scarlet fever, combined, during the two years, 1886 and 1887, over 11,190 cases were prevented, and 1,085 lives saved in Michigan by isolation and disinfection. Tho pamphlet is replete with useful in­ formation and will be found of great valua to physicians and local boards of health, and through them to the people generally. These pamphlets can bo obtained upon application to the Secretary of the State Board of Health at Lansing. —A Detroit special of the 2d inst. says: The election in this State yesterday was for n Justice of the Supreme Court and two Bogeuts of the State University. Two constitutional amendments were also submitted, one increasing tho salary of the Governor from $l,00<> -to $4,000, and .the other enabling corporations to con­ tinue their existence without reorganizing at the end of thirty years, as is now re­ quired. The returns received are frag­ mentary, but indicate tho olcction of C. B. Grant (Rep.) for Supreme Justice by a safe majority. The remainder of tho Republican ticket is doubtless elected, aud l>oth amendments have been carried. The vote was light. In Detroit tho ladies exercised tbe electoral privilege for the first time, voting for school inspectors and electing ono of their sox, who was in­ dorsed by the Democrats. Tho Tribune claims Grant's election by 20,000 plurality. —The largest wooden vessel ever built in Detroit has been launched. She is No. 93 of the Dry Dock Company’s build, her boilers and engines being the Dry Dock Company's product. Probably no vessel launched on Detroit River contained as many people, her deck being crowded. It is estimated that fully 1,000 people were on board, while the shore for a dis­ tance of several blocks was lined with people. She glided gracefully from her wavs stern foremost, amid thundering ap­ plause from those on shore. Almost si­ multaneously with striking thoawntor her name, Philip D. Armour, was unfurled from tbe mainmast. Her dimensions are: Length. 282 feet over all; beam, feet; depth. 23 feet. She is steeled eloped throughout and has the Detroit Dry Dock Company's engine, 28x52. Sbe has two fire-box marine boilers. 9j diameter, 14 feet long, i steel plate, and a 12-foot pro­ peller wheel Wiley M. Egan and Philip D. Armour, of Chicago, and R. p. Fitz­ gerald, of Milwaukee, are equal owners. Sbe will be engaged in carrying general loads between Chicago and Buffalo. Her coat is >140,000. —The furniture factory of Bing, Brady 11 Co. burned at East Soginaw, including >15,000 worth of manufactured stock and 200,000 fest of oak lumber in yard. Loss, >30,000; insurance, >25,000. Urey, a homesteader in the Flint Steel Valley, Ontonagon County, has the honor of being the first child Lorn in the new •ettlement. The happy father reports the * Fisher and Tcrasly *. Turner jointly. One hundred and fifty fest of dock was also burned. Loss, nearly >30,000; well insured. An earlier fire burned Bertecho’s extensive hog-pons, six miles oast of Bay City, with 100 large hogs and 2,000 bushels of corn. Loss over >3,000. —Gen. Cardenas, the well-known dwarf, who for seventeen years has made his home in Dexter, died of consumption. He was born in Mexico fifty-one years ago, and has been exhibited as a freak in all the principal cities in the United States. He was thirty-one inches in height, and weighed but forty-six pounds. —Considerable interest is manifested at Alpena in what is called tho Gaylord electrio light. It looks like a star and most of the spectators believe it is, but many assert it is an electric light floating above Gaylord five miles high. When tho star disappears below the horizon tho be­ lievers in tbo aerial lamp say it has been hauled down. —Tho annual statement of the Alpena City School Board shows the expenses of the schopls during the post year to bo $28,800.50, of which tbo teachers re­ ceived $12,058. During the year a largo now school house was built in tno Third Ward. The School Board has a balance on hand of only $753. Tho monthly wages of tho teachers amount to $1,­ 574.50. —There arrived nt Saginaw recently, from Ogemaw, thirty cords of hard wood consigned to Rev. B. Hunter and intend­ ed for distribution among poor people connected with the City Bethel Mission. The fuel was a gift from Charles II. Plummer, tho philanthropic lumberman, and the Michigan Central Railroad .Com­ pany hauled tho car to Saginaw without expanse. —So far as learned, the largest white pine tree ever found in this State was re­ cently cut and scaled by tho Brooking Lumber Company, which is doing a largo business near Hobart Station, on tho Grand Rapids and Indiana road. It meas­ ure 1 at tbe butt six feet iu diameter and scaled 10,331 feet of mercantile lumber. In the fall the top was broken, destroying about 3(0 feet of choice lumber. —The pews in tho Plymouth Congre­ gational Church, at Lausing, were offered for rent lately for tbe year beginning April 1. The rental was the largest in tho his­ tory of tho church, tho amount being $4,148.20. When all who were unable to be present at the meeting are accommo­ dated there will be but few unoccupied pews. —The Mackinac Lumber Company have sold about tho whole of thoir winter's cut of logs to an outside firm, says tho St. Ignance Watchman, and it is very doubt­ ful if their mill will run at all this season. This information comes from reliable sources oul warrants the assumption that the Mackinac Lumber Company have just about finished their operations in St. Ignace. Whether the mill will be leased or sold and whether or not it will be run this season has not yet been determined. Certain it is tho Mackinac Lumber Corm ]Hiny have sold about all their pine. —Tho mill and salt block of Smith Bros. 4 Co. at Bay City will be rebuilt. This is certain. The Bay City Press says that it was requested not to sny much about it, but tho nows is too good to keep. The members of tho firm have such valua­ ble interests in that locality that tho rumor that they would probably build a mill on the Upper Peninsula, where they have a largo amount of standing timber, is with­ out tbe slightest foundation. If they were to build on the Upper Peninsula they could not have salt, aud it would cost too much to got rid of tho refuse of the mill without a salt-block attachment. In ad­ dition to this, the product of the mill would bave to be shipped by rail, and this would cost too much. —Prof. George S. Morris, who has filled the chair of mental aud moral philosophy in Michigan University for a number of years, died at his residence in Ann Arbor. He had been sick but a short time with inflammation of tho bowels. By the death of Prof. Morris the literary faculty loses one ot its ablest and most influential members. Prof. Morris was about fifty years of age, and was the author of several philosophical works and papers. The literary department was closed and the University Senate and students attended tho funeral in a body. —A few weeks ago Mrs. Johanna Zschoegner and her daughter Emma ar­ rived in Detroit from Allegheny City on a visit to a son. John Zschoegner. On Feb. 28 they both were taken suddenly ill, and four days later they died. Zschoegner and bis wife, upon promising to return in time for the inquest, were allowed to take the body to Allegheny City for burial, but up to date nothing has been heard from them. At the Coroner’s inquest it was shown that the stomach of the dead woman con­ tained large quantities of arsenic. Anna Zschoegner, wife of John, has had two husbands previous to Zschoegner, both of whom died under peculiar circumstances. The authorities claim that tbe young woman, knowing that old Mrs. Zschoeg­ ner was wealthy, administered the poiset to her and io Miss Emma in order that her husband might inherit the property. —Reports from tho lumber camps show that the Alpena lumbermen hare some 3,000,000 feet of logs left on skids in the woods. These logs will have to be peeled in order to prevent the worms from bor- from getting aap stained. Men will also fires from destroying them. Powell aud children have donated tbe ford. This will (Washfniton (D.

There are three galleries circling the tower. The first great gallery, just above the archwv. stands 185 feet above tbe ground, and measures nearlv 300 feet each way. Here are placed cafes, restau­ rants. reading-rooms, smoking and loung­ ing compartments, nnd all the amuse­ ments and comforts of a French resort. Thousands of people at one time can be made st home tn this great inclosure far up in tho'cool sir without any necessity of crowding or treading on one another’s toes. It is also proposed to give band concerts daily at this stage in the journey heavenward, so that the first gallery wiU probably become the gre.it rendezvous and promenade, and the flaneurs and the hanta gommeux will use it. as they do the boulevards, for their afternoon stroll, even though they are os high in the air as tbe towers of Notre Dame. The second gallery, still forming part of the base of the tower, rests lightly upon its iron sup­ ports at a height of 380 feet, or about fiffifteen feet higher than the highest part of Milan Cathedral.

Barker, a mechanical genius of this village, has been devoting bis attention to the building of an automatic grain scale which could be put to practical use. He had built a machine before for Ute same purpose, the patent on which is now owned by J. J. Downs, of Hast­ ings. He thought, however, that he could make a better one, and after sev­ eral months of arduous work has suc­ ceeded in doing so, the new machine fulfilling the highest anticipations of the inventor and his backers, Messrs. H. M. Lee, Frank C. Boise and C. M. Putnam. The machine is about five feet in height and perhaps three feet square. The grain to be weighed is conducted directly into the top of the scales, where spouts conduct it to the weighing hoppers, of which there are two, one on each side of the scales. The machine is so constructed that as the hopper on one side fills,'the stream is gradually diverted to the other hop­ per, shutting off entirely from the first hopper exactly at the time the correct number of pounds has gone into it Hopper No. 1 then comically proceeds to dump itself and return to its origin­ al position, ready to be again filled. The trial machine, has been in opera­ tion this week at the elevator of Smith, Townsend &. Co., and the ease and ac­ curacy with which it worked was a source of wonder and surprise to those seeing it for the first time, and of de-' light to those interested, who have anxiously watched the progress of the wonderful machine. It makes no diflerence whether the stream comes fast or slow, the weight is found to be accurate every time, being repeatedly tested by other scales. A draught of the machine is being made, to be sub­ mitted to the patent office at Washing­ ton, and several machines will be ; built at once, for practical trial. The invention is one of the big ones of the age, the big scale companies having spent many thousands of dol­ lars in an unsuccessful effort to con­ struct an automatic grain scale which could be relied upon to do accurate work. There is call for such machines in every grist mill,elevator, brewery, etc., in the world, and it would seem to be a certainty that Mr. Barker has built a scale which will make his fortune if it is properly put into the market, as we have no doubt it will be. Circuit court re-convened Thm.u.r to finish the much adjourned term. The following cases were disposed of: Jose^Xennedy, appellee, vs. Chas. Knapp, appellant; assumpsit. Judg­ ment granted to take efft£t against sureties and principal.; Honry L.

Many Nashville people are well ac­ quainted with John Rock, of Haatipgs, and have generally supposed him to be a pretty decent sort of a fellow, al­ though a trifle fast. He is a married man, has lived in Hastings nearly all his life, played with the famous Clip­ per base ball team of that city for many years, conducted several excur­ sions to Detroit, etc., and seemed to be quite a wide awake fellow, with a teudancy toward “penny ante” and i other variations. About a year ago he went to Grand Rapids, since which time he has been night clerk at the Eagle Hotel. It seams that Rock be­ came enamored of a waitress at the Eagle, and the result may be learned pretty thoroughly from the following, clipped from Thursdays Grand Rapids Democrat: | Rer. Father Pulcher of BL James’ church, in Ireland, yesterday afternoon, asking if John i Rock and Annie Crane, formerly of this dly, could properly be married. He understood the. object of the sender of the message to be to learn whether there were any objections, legal or otherwise, to the proposed marriage, and Immediately started ont to investigate. He knew that Annie Crane formerly worked at the Eagle hotel and that she left the city for Irelanpa few weeks ago. Her departure was mentioned iu The Democrat at the time, a large party o'. friends and acquaintances going to Che depot to bld her good bye.

Some years since, before tho sale of game was legalized, and a present of it was thought worth the expense of carriage, an Englishman, who had rented a moor within twenty miles of Inverness, wishing to send a ten brace box of grouse to his friends in the South, directed his gilly to procure a person to.take the box to the capital of the North, whence the London steamer sailed. Not one, however, of the miserably poor tenants in the neighborhood could bo found who would take the box for a less sum than eight shillings. This demand was thought so unreasonable that tho Englishman complained to n Scotch friend who was shooting along with him. The Scotchman replied, "that the natives -always made a point of imposing as much as possible upon strangers; but,” said he, "if you will leave it to me, I will manage the mat­ ter for you; for, with all their incli­ nation to knavery, they are the sim­ plest people under the sun." A few days thereafter, going out a-shooting, they saw a mon loading his cart with peats, when the Scotchman approaching him, said, after the usual salutation: “What are you going to do with the peats?” 'Tm going to Inverness to soil them,” was the reply. "What do you get for them?” "One shilling and eight pence, sir." "In­ deed! Well, I will buy them from you if you will deliver them for me in In­ verness." "That I will, and thank you. too, sir.” "All agreed, the Scotchman re­ sumed his walk for about twenty yards, when he suddenly turned around and said: "By the by, I have a small box I want taken to the same place. You can place it on the top of the peats?” “That I will, and welcome, sir.” "Well, if you will coll at the lodge in the evening,. I will give you the direction' for the peats, and you can have the box at the same time.” He did so. and actually carried the box and gave a load of peats for one shilling and eight pence, although neither the same man nor any one of his neighbors would forward the box alone for less than eight shillings.— N.

Prof. Charles F. Chandler, of tho school of mines, Columbia College, said: "Yea, I have seen the jlispatch, and there is really nothing to say about iL I do not believe it, and yot if it is true iL will only be demonstrating what every­ body has believed to be true for years —that all of our supposed elements are mere combinations and alloys. Similar reports have come to us before fronrlong distant places and have not been substantiated. But in those days no man may say it is not true. It is not much more than a century since air wns found to be a composition, and recently we were informed that there were sterooecoptic reasons for believ­ ing that hydrogun was a combination of two elements called helium and croonium. No, there can bo no practical conjecture even framed as to what the constituent elements of cobalt and nickel are until the report of tho al­ leged dortunposition is received." A. IL Ledoux, on analytical chemist, also said the discovery, if true, would prove of vast interest and importance to the scientific world, and the details would be awaited with impatience by chemists all over tho United States. It would be accomplishing something that men hove been trying to do for years without an indication of success. As to the means employed to produce the solution, he thought it might be some new process, the application of which to other elements would pro­ duce like results.

I bare frequently heard men remark that they were terribly frightened in their first battle, but ever afterward they had no fear, or at least but little Their experience Is quite different from my own. I participated in several bat­ tles. and I always saw and felt that there was something to fear in every battle I engaged in, from first to last; but I felt lees fear while engaged in my first battle, and felt more like fighting and lass like running, than I did In any that followed. My first battle wuh at Okolona. Miaa, in the month of Feb­ ruary. 1864. To say that I was not frightened would be a statement which every body, who was ever cagaged Ina battle, would know to be false. And yet I did not feel like running. We fought while retreating. We were only permitted to fire one or two rounds, then fall back. Shortly after tho fight began, a regiment in our rear stami>eded. and came dashing through our lines, caus­ ing a general stampede of nearly tho entire force.

The OongreM of American Notions. Interest is already beginning to manifest itself in Wta^ilngton over the corning congresa or American nation® which issoou tq meet in that city. It will be a most interesting and i reportant gathering, for the co-operation of enough of our southern neighbors is already BMured to render the meeting a success. Formal acceptances of the invitation of the United Stateshave already been received from Venezuela, the Argentine Republic, Paraguay, Uruguay and tbe Central American republics. Mexico and Brazil have ac­ cepted informally« Only the republics on tho west coast of South America re­ main to be he<>rd from. It in possible that Chilli may decline to take part on account of her still somewhat ntrained relations with some of tho other pow­ ers, and her ambition to control the tehole of tao west coast. Columbia, Ecuador «nnd Pern, however, will probably be represented, if only by the gentlemen now here and accredited as their diplomatic representatives, j Oar own representatives come from the various parts of the United Staten, and will see that visitors are made acquainted properly with the resources and the civilization of all sections of our country. The New York delegate. Mr. Cornelius N. Bliss, is amply able to represent his city and state in the most efficient possible ways. Messrs. Hen­ derson, of Missouri, and Studebaker, of Indiana, will see that the West is properly represented, while tbe South has two representatives, Messrs. Trescot, of South Carolina, aud Pitkin, of Louisiana. The other delegates are: Messrs. William Pinkney White, of Maryland; T. Jefferson Coolidge, of Massachusetts, aud Andrew Carnegie, of Pennsylvania. After the congress is organized, it is intended to take the representatives of tbo southern republics on an extensive tour and to give them every facility for becoming thoroughly acquainted with our country and its people. Tbe consequences of such a gather­ ing m this cannot fail to be momentuous and beneficial to all the parties concerned. Our sister American repub­ lics will get better acquainted with us, and a more cordial spirit of fraternity and co-operation among the American nations will be established. Its results on commerce and trade we have not the space to discuss here. They ought to be, and no doubt will be, most favor­ able. A 00N80IENTI0U8 SENATOR. »® ®?o~» o J3 02 £?§ oho 'ci O ®_® ®2 2 45 o 0Q SATURDAY. a® -gE £ O ® § a Barry county’s able senator, Philip T. Colgrove, was one of the republi­ cans in tbe Michigan legislature who had tbe courage to vote according to his convictions in the famous ReutzDickerson contest, which resulted iu Rentz (democrat) retaining his seat in that body against the claims of Dicker­ son (republican). For this action, which we consider especially laudable iu Mr. Colgrove. considering the apti­ tude of politicians of tbe age to stick to'party through thick and thin in suite of truth and justice, the Detroit Tri­ bune of Monday last “roasts” our sena­ tor severely. Our impression is that the Tribune, iu its blind partisanship, has overstepped tbeLounds of decency, condemning where it ought to com­ mend. The following, from the edi­ torial column of the Lansing Itepublican, so fully expresses our sentiments in regard to the matter that we repro­ duce it entire: The Attack made by tbc Detroit Tribune upon tboac Republican *eoators who voted contrary to its urging in deciding tbe ReutzDlckeraon teal cootcat U aa unwiae a* It ia bitter. A| majority of all the Republican Senator* from the whole State, after a long in­ vestigation and a very able dlaceaaioa, voted uudvr the obligation* of ibcir oath* and ttelr honor that. In their opinions, a tntSdently strong case had not been paired against Mr. Bentz’ certificate of election to tbe scat to warrant them iu unseating him. Only ten Senators voted, under tbc wme Milcmn obliga­ tions, that they conaldcred tbe proofs suffi­ ciently strong to justify unseating him. The Tribune’s assertion that tbe minority of tbe Republieaii Senators—including President Pro Tern Ball, Chairman Giddings, and^uch well known and widely honored Senator* a* Hol­ brook, Colgrove, Taylor, Ranney, Palmer, Den, Herder, Galbraith, and others—•‘formally vot­ ed approval of infamous frauds, bribery aud Irregularities,” and It* intlmatjoo that tbe Senator* were swayed by ‘‘the liquor interests.'’ aud IU charges that ‘‘the Senate lias solemnly declared that election boards may safely dis­ regard all statutes designed U> protect tbe san­ ctity of tbe ballot box.” and that certain Re publican Senators are “pliable caupaws,” aud “mere jumplug jacks,” are expressions of *uch urjtul calumny and bulldozing violence aa to challenge contempt, rather than conviction. The truth la tbe Republican Senators who vot­ ed against unseating Rentz are Just a* arrongly opposed to corruption, fraud and error iu elect­ ions as the Senator* who voted In favor of un­ seating him. It is absolutely preposterous and caluniuktua to assume that tbe Republican Senators on one side are anv more virtuous, honorable, or wise, than tbe liepublican Sena­ tors on tbe other ■k’e. Most, If not all, tbe Republican Senators believe that election* in Detroit are spotted with fraud*. corrtipUons and error*. The Blate Repa Nman bo-, ed, aud many Senators hoped. ■ that enough of tbe fraud*, corruption* and error* iLul undoubted­ ly exist might be clearly proved and ex|x»ud In ibis case. Tlx majority of tbe Senator» looked upon tbe case as a quest kin to be decid­ ed upon the evidence whether Mr. Reuut' certi­ ficate to hk seat waa proved with reasonable rertahrty to be founded upon fraud, corrup­ tion, and error, or whether Mr. Dickei*ou was uiGVcd with reaaonatde cvatelnty to be elected. They decided upon rhe |>roof* tn tbe cbm?, aud not upon what they guessed, or suspected. We may be sorry that they could not ttmscientiooaly decide tbe other way. It nuy be a One night, at the Opera ball in Faria, there waa a troop of young fellows whose aole am nac tn ent H was to look out in tbc crowd for the face of wme unmistakably country cousin, whom they then proceeded to tcaae aa beat they could. The Rank came acrow a typical specimen of the official bump­ kin, fresh from acme unheard of coun­ try town: hu waa wandering alone iu the corridor. In a moment the moat audacious of th® party, a man named Matberon, who has been a calvary sub­ altern. went up to the man and said. B3int-blank,with the most refined poteueaa: “I beg your pardon, monsier, but there is some mistake. The trous­ ers von have on are mine. “Youra!” exclaimed the 'stranger, wrathfully "nre you mad!’’and be turned away. But the rest of the men surrounded him and declared, with the greatest gravity, that tho trouser* were indeed their triend’s, “and more by token,” added lie, putting in a word, “there is a number sewn into the inside.” This discussion had brought a crowd together. The countryman held his own and the Parisian no h«s at last the luckless wearer of the garment tired ot contention, gave references; tried to reason and argue out the charge of the theft, then brought against bim; finally, he agreed to prove his inno­ cence as the others suggested. The whole party were to go to an empty box on the third tier, where he had to takeoft the trousers to be examined. Up they went and the sequel may be guessed. Tho countryman took oft the trousers, tho claimant carried them carefully to tho front ot the imx’to en­ able him the better lo discover tho protended number by the light of the chandelier and tbeu calmly let them drop among the dancers below. Wheth­ er the young man from the country ever again went to a ball at the Opera house is not known, but be must have been the last one to leave it that night. —Paris Letter. ENGLISH AS BHE IS SPOKE.

At the conclusion of tho second verse of the hymn the patience of a workingman on his immediate left seemed fairly exhausted. Not recog­ nizing the dignitary beside him, the poor man, in sheer desperation, gave the bishop a sharp dig iu the ribs, and the latter, on turning around for an explanation, was thus addressed in subdued but distinct tones: “I say, gub’ner. you drv np, you’re spoiling the whole show.” A Prudent Mother.

I have sold thirteen books to merchants. They aro not so easy to get around as I expected, but they can’t resist the eloquence and soft arguments of an Eastern gentleman. Your off. son, Walter. Feb. 5.—Dear Father: Only sold four books to-day. One of them was to an editor, and be managed to get me to subscribe to his paper before I left. Some of the Westerners are pretty smooth talkers' themselves. Price of book, $3; subscription, $5. I believe I’ll Ijoep away from editors. Your aff. son, Walter.

And the superiority of Hood's Sarsaparilla for thia purpose becomes more and more widely known every year.

But there— Fm not going to quarrel with you. How much longer are you going to keep me up to abuse me?" and Ruby laughed aloud in her usual, saucy, tan­ talizing manner. Jatflc looked at her, his face black as a thunder-cloud, on which was written a stern determina­ tion, but she was in no way appalled Sr iL On the contrary, she looked at m gayly and carelessly, as if she wore perfectly indifferent to him or his toocmIs. "Miss Howard," he began, "Miss Howard," she mimicked mockingly; ■••since when, pray? How ceremonious are grow, to bo sure." He resumed, as if she had not inter­ rupted him; "I will not detain you but a moment longer. While I am conwinced that at thopresent time you are perfectly heartless, owing more* to the unhappy way of your bringing up and to the influences and fashion of society than to natural hardness of heart—” ••Oh! thanks, thanks awfully, are too good," she broke in again, laughingly. It was all as good as a burlesque to her, accustomed as she was to lovers' rantiugs. "I am as firmly convinced,’’ he went on, in so calm a tone, that it should have warnod her that this meant more than an ordinary tiff: "that you love me; but, with your natural perverseness, will neither acknowledge it to yourself nor me." As'he said this—with an air of a judge pronouncing sentence on some unhappy prisoner—with his grey eyes .fixed on her face with the sternest gaze they were capable of—in spite of herself the bloom on her soft round cheek deepened to a bright red aud for an instant her saucy, mocking eyes fell before his. A transient smile passed over his gloomy face at this evidence of his power, and left it even gloomier than before. As he regarded tho-lovely, half shy face before Sim ho commenced again bitterly. "And why will you not yield to that love and make us both happy? I will tell you. You do not wish to be tied tn one; to receive lhe love and homage of one is not to your taste. Oh, no; not for years to come. If I would wait pa­ tiently and in the meantime be always ready to dance attendance on all your whims, not noticing any one clse.'and always keeping in the background when a desirable flirtation came up, then, perhspa, if you didn’t meet some one you preferred to me, after keeping »ic in suspense all that time, you might any woman; and, as much as I love you, I am going to leave you forever.” ~ "Ha, ha!” aud her sweet, low laugh rang out like a chime of silvery bellk "The plot thickens. Please go on; it is as lovely as a play ” "I know and feel,” said Jack earn­ estly, "that we are especially suited to each other, and I believe that in time you will realize the truth of what I say and will regret me. oven as I regret you dow—but ne more. I’ve already said too much—more than I intended. Good-bye,’’ and with a deep |bow he turned and left. "Well, of all things!” she murmured. "Forever! Fudge. I’ll see him to-mor­ row on the promenade the same as usual. He is delicirxi*. I do like him the best when he asserts himself. He is grand when be gets enraged. He looks so stern and glares so. and is so unanproachable that 1 am almost afraid of him—the darling. If I don't look out he will end in ■making me marry him before the season is over. but I’m not going tv hurry myfelf; there’s plenty time.” After which sage conclusion she went up to her room in gay spirits, thinking of die good time she would hare in making meet Jack as usual. In fact a week ptused, and in all that time be had not called. She had missed his presence from ball and opera, and every place that she had graced with her bright presence. At last, making a few in­ quiries sho found that Jack was out somewhere on tho ocean on his way to China to join his brother, a tea mer­ chant and.wos likely to be absent a term of years. Although outwardly Ruby managed to conceal the shock sho had received, she could not conceal from her own heart that something had gone from her that she missed and longed for with an indescribable longing and a wild regret. It was all the more madr dening that no one was to blame fos her sorrow hut herself. The old placehad lost their charm. Everything and everybody was insipid, flat and monot­ onous. Ah! if he would only return, how gladly would she acknowledge her love, and how gladly would she marry him at tho earliest date he might men­ tion. Had she known his address at that time she would have written to tell him of her love and penitence. Four years after Jack was gone Ruby wtft at a fashionable watering place. She was still the belle of every assem­ blage. Her indifference and utter carelessness, combined with her rare beauty, brought her scores of admir­ ers, whom she drove almost mad with her coldness. She was still as lovely as ever, but in her big, brown eves there was a shade of sadness, ana a slight absent look which gave a touch of soul to a face that had heretofore sparkled with wit, and glowed with gaycty and high spirits, but had feel­ ing. Now it was perfect. If Jack could only see her now. Ono day sho was taking her morn­ ing stroll, and feeling an unaccount­ able depression of spirits. Hor great eyes were wearing their most absent look, and as they wandered over the crowd that was ever coming and going, she started violently and her delicate, high-bred face turned as white as the lilmy lace at her throat. Sho fixed an absorbed gaze on a vehicle that was slowly passing. Tho occupant was a broad-shouldered, grand-looking man dressed in grey. His shapely head was crowned with a while straw hat, a pair-of large, disfiguring spectacles of colored glass completely hid his eyes; his firm mouth was shadbd with a long brown mustache, and between his lips was the inevitable cigar. No whiskers hid his firm chin and finerounded throat. A footman at his side was driving a span of spirited blacks. In nn instant the equipage was hidden by the crowd, but Kuby’s oyes would have known that face, that form, if it had been a far more fleeting glimpse. Sho drawn long breath, and by tho time sho reached her hotel and looked al herself in her room, she was startled at tho joyous brightness that sparkled in her eyes and beamed from every feature. All day her face wore an eager, expectant look, her eyes were ever searching for something. At the hop that night it was still tho same. Sho withdrew early and sought her room, weary and heartsick. "Oh," sho said aloud, in a troubled voice, " does he know I am here, and still remain aloof?" She sat there alone, white and sad: her face wet with tears; her heart torn with conflicting emotions, aud a ter­ rible fear that he bad forgotten her. The next morning, after a sleepless night, she started out alone, hor cheeks pale, her spirits drooping. Sheshaned her course for a hidden retreat behind the rocks, where she had often dream­ ed away hours uninterrupted. As sho neared the place Ruby saw that her favorite rocky seat was already occu­ pied by an intruder. Ho sat in a des­ ponding attitude, with his head resting on his hand and his gaze directed to­ ward the sea. Occupied with her own thoughts. Ruby was about to turn away without taking any notice of him, when ho changed his position, re­ moved a cigar from his mouth, blow forth a cloud of smoke and Ruby saw who it was. Her footsteps had given no sound on tho soft sand. He had not hoard hor. Sho stood perfectly still, trembling so that she could scarcely stand. Here was tho man for whoso presence sho had longed for all these sad years, and now sho dared not speak to him. Ho might receive her patience with scorn, and bo might bo married! Terrible, cruel thought! While this was passing through her mind sho was startled by hearing some one coming that way whistling. Not wishing to bo seen she sprang behind a convenient boulder, just in time to escape the eyes of tho now comer, who was the same man she had seen with Jack tho day before. Tho man camp up and stopped beside Jack, who said, impatiently, "Why did you come for me io soon?” "Why, sir, you said *como in an hour,’ and it is up sure?” "I don’t believe its up,” Jack cried violently, "but because I am a poor, blind stick you think you can fool me. But you can’t. Go away and lot me be in peace if you can, and don’t dare to come near me again under an hour from now. Do you understand? an hour from now, a whole hour.” "Yes, sir, I understand,” replied poor Peter deprecatingly, preparing to move off, after casting a glance at tho watch he wore to make sure of the time. "Stay.” called Jack, irritably. "First tell me if anyone is anywhere in sight I don’t want to sit here as a show for any ono if I can help it” "Not a soul, sir, to be seen,” re­ sponded Peter, cheerily. "Then clear out” waa the gentle re­ ply. After John’s retreating form was lost to view Ruby stole forth pale and trembling — her cheeks moist with tears of pity. How wretched he looked —how sad—how she pitied him. She forgot even-thing except her love for him and wished to comfort him. Ou the impulse of the moment, she went to him nod put both soft, round arms around bis neck, and laid her cheek against his. Her sudden embrace aroused him effectually from the gloomy thought he was indulging ip, «nd gave him a little shock. “O<U1 as he could collect his woman! Yes, a woman!‘ A' mad woman, no doubt! Did sbe^iutend to strangle him. or what? Thh novelty of it pleased him. He remained per­ fectly still and awaited developments like a philosopher. . “J^ek— Jack Hunter, don’t you know me?’’ said & tearful voice, in his "Heavens! That voice! Ruby!” he cried, doubting, but nevertheless throwing both arms around her and drawing her to him while ho rained kisses on her face. At last he drew her gently down ou the rock beside him and said: "My darting, words are not needed to tell me it ik Ruby, or that you love me. But tell me—you are as free as I am.” He did not ask how or why she hap­ pened to be there. He did not care. That sho wns there was the one -su­ premo thought of that happy moment. •*I am still Ruby Howard/’ she mur­ mured in reply. ■•Thank God!” he said, reverently, "and for this hour. And now—will you, can.you—heart of my heart, mar­ ry mo, as I am—a blind man?” "Yes, Jack, gladly, if you will have me. I have longed for you ever since you left me,” she whispered; ’ "My treasure!” ho cried.. "It was cruel of me. Wo will never part again; wo will get married at once—within a wook,” ho went on in the eager over­ mastering way that she well remem­ bered. "Your people will not object, I fondly imagine, for I am rich, you know, and all that, besides, I am only blind fur a season.

At Foochow the candidates under­ went much suffering, and even death. One man went, mad directly bo saw the themes, and cut himself nearly into pieces with broken bits of pottery, a socond.nlso lost his senses and began to eat mud. On the second day a candidate spit blood from overexer­ tion, and died. Each student was in a separate coll, which was hurriedly run up, without any proper raised place for the men to sleep, so that many rolled off on the damp ground and in­ jured themselves, while ono was stung to death by a poisonous snake. Thou­ sands of students went up for lhe ex­ amination, but hundreds were plucked in tho preliminary before tbe literary chancellor, who was exceptionally severe this year. The present exam­ ination rules have been in fore*, for over a century, and aro most strictly observed, no district being allowed more than a certain number of de­ grees. If any district offends, this number is reduced as a punishment; while next year additional numbers will l>o allowed in honor of the em­ peror’s marriage.

The Code’s Decadence in Kentucky. An indignant citizen of Lexington went to the Transcript office, abused tho local editor, Mr. Moore, and struck him in tho face, says tbo Louisville Courier-Journal. The latter bcln^ a stronger man than his assailant, sim­ ply caught the angry individual by the wrists aud held him till he cooled down. The next, day the newspaper man wrote a personal statement about tho affair, saying: * ■- "I did what for years I have tried to school myself to do if tho occasion ever offered. I would not have the memory of having struck that man, and thus have admitted tho futility of the argmuent of my whole life fora very considerable amount of money, and tho happiness of conscience that I believe 1 would enjoy for having done as I have is nil that I have hoped for." All this is in curious contrast to the action which tho old code or the un­ written understanding which has pre­ vailed among men of spirit in this state so longj would have dictated. Has public sentiment reached the point where Mr. Moore’s conduct will bo applauded and held os an equally high proof of courage as if he had thrashed tho man who attacked him? Ono thing is sure: Kentucky ideas on this subject are undergoing a change. “Our Mary’s” Kind Act. . Here is a pretty story of Miss Mary Anderson told iu tho Boston Tran­ script : A few days ago, as Miss Ander­ son was passing througn one of the groat dry-goods stores, tho salesmen recognized her and whispered to each other. "There goes Mary Anderson!" A little cash-boy, hearing the re­ mark loo late to sec her face, ex­ claimed: "Ohl why didn’t you let me know in time? I haven’t got money enough to go see her play, but I might have looked at her." • The lady bad not passed out of hear­ ing. Turning back, she stooped and kissed the boy. “There, my lad,” she said, "you can not only say that you have seen Mary Anderson, but that she has kissed you.” Warner’s Log Cabin Remedies—old fashioned, simple compounds, used in the days of our hardy forefathers, are "old timers" but "old reliables."

POPULAR 8OIEI obigw the Otbvr’a C»r»l«Mir««. From an observation of the eclipses of Jupiter's first satellite, in 1675, Ro­ mer, a Danish Astronomer, deducted the velocity of light, his calculations establishing for it a velocity of 190,000 miles per second. $ M. Foucault succeeded in determin­ ing the velocity*of light experimentally by means of un apparatus based upon the use of the rotating mirror, and calculated it to bo 185,157 miles per second. In 1849 M. Fixeau measured the ve­ locity directly, by ascertaining the time It took to travel from SuresnuH to Montmartre (a distance \pf 28.834 feet) and back again, making a total travel of five and threo-quarter miles, nearly. Ho made use of a toothed wheel revolving at certain known ve­ locities; a pencil of rays being trans­ mitted through an interval between two teeth of the wheel, which was placed at Suresnes, was reflected by k* mirror placed at Montmartre, through p seribs of tubes and lenses, directly' back to the wheel. He found the velocity of light to be 196,000 miles per second. The mean of the three values above given Is 190,385 miles, and the value generally taken as tho velocity of light very nearly agrees with it, being 190,­ 000 miles per second. Wheatstone, by the employment of q rotating mirror and an interrupted coll to give sparks, ascertained the velocity of electricity to be 288,000 miles pei second. • . Kirchoff estimated thia velocity in b wire where it met with nokosistance to bo 192,924 miles per second. But ac­ cording to MM. Flzeau and Gounelle. ite velocity with an iron wire is 62,10C miles, and with a copper wire 111,786 miles per second. These measure­ ments, however, were made with tele­ graph wires, which induce opposite electricities in tho surrounding media, thus producing a resistance which re­ duces the yolocity. The nature of the conductor has some influence on the velocity; but not the thickness of tho wire, nor the tension of the electricity. Direct measurements toascertiau the velocity of sound were made by Moll and Van Beck in 1823. Two hills near Amsterdam, 57,971 feet apart, were taken as stations, and cannon were flrod at stated intervals simultaneously at both stations, and the elapsed time be­ tween seeing the flash and hearing the sound was noted by chronometers. From these experiment* the velocity of sound was estimated to be 1,092.78 feet per second in dry air. But it has been found that the velocity varies with tho temperature—L e.. at 32° Fahr., the velocity of sound is 1,090 feet per second and that for every degree of tempera­ ture above this 1} feet must be added to the velocity. Fogs or rains unac­ companied by winds, do not interfere with the velocity of sound, but wind alone will interfere with its velocity materially. There is soma reason to believe that loud sounds travel somewhat faster than low ones, which wa* first remarked by Prof. Mullet while carrying on blasting near Holyhead. In water the velocity is about 4,708 feet per second, nearly four times as much as in air; in wood, from 12,000 to 10,000 feet; in iron, 17,500 feet; and in copper, 10,500 feet per second.—Safely Valve. •• As is the case with the vast majority of inventors, it seems that the man who originated the idea of hobbtos for the threshing machine engine never-recelved a cent from the patent. Thoee who don’t know what hobbles are used for may be told that they arc two par­ allel bars of iron, which can ‘ be fast­ ened by means of taps and bolts, and are attached on each side of tbe engine from tho top of the forewheels to the lower felloes of the hind wheels, for the purpose of preventing the engine from shaking while It is running at a high rate of speed. Their invention camo about in this way: In u'cuuntry village, a few miles west of Indian­ apolis, Ind., lived a man named Harri­ son Swindler, who, besides being a local Methodist minister, a temperance lecturer and a farmer, also run a saw mill and a flouring mill, and in the har­ vest season ran three or four threshing Ing machines in ths neighborhood; in fact, ho seemed to bet "generalutility" mau in the full sense of the term, who not only saved souls, but slmoleans as well. As usual, necessity was tho mother of invention in this instance. It was several years ago that tho idea struck him that by placing a brace or support of some kind on the wheels of tho thresher engine to prevent its rock­ ing, It would run easier and smoother. Ho took two heavy pieces of scantling and fastened them on tho wheels by means of bolts and taps, and found that they answered the desired object exactly. This was considered only a simple contrivance, nnd ho used them for a long time without thinking of the .vajue qf the idea it incorporated In a patent right There was no name for ■the now invention until one day a countryman amusingly referred to tho engine as being "hobbled down," like a horse is hobbled sometimes by hav­ ing ite feet tied with ropes so it can walk, but not run away, while grazing. From that time the contrivance was alluded to as a ptdr of hobbles. Ono day an Eastern machine agejit hap­ pened through tho neighborhood and saw tho engine hobbles. Ho saw their commercial value in a minute and straightway hnd a patent issued in his own name and made a fortune off tho invention, while tbe original inventor has never received a dcfllas.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat PUBLIC LIGHTING. Growth of the Basinof IIlam!s*Ui( Streets and Square*. or 'TftroiE bam.” Speculation has recently arisen re­ warding the origin of the term "Unde Sam” rm applied to the United States government. ki the war of 1813, between t-hjui coun­ try and Great Brittan, Elbert Anderson, of New Yoik.Ipnrebased in Troy, NI., a large amount of pork for the American army. It was inspected by Sam tie! Wilaon, who was popularly known m "Uncle Sam.” The barrel* of pork were marked "E. A., U. S.,” tbe lettering lieing done by a facetious employe of Mr. Wilson. When asked by fellow workmen the meaning of the mark (for U. 8. for United States, were then almost en­ tirely new to them), said he "did not know unless it meant Elbert Anderson * and Uncle Sam,” alluding to Uncle Sam Wilson. The joke took among tbe workmen, and passed currently, and “Uncle Sam” himself being present, was occasionally rallied od tbe increasing extent of his possessions. Soon the incident appeared in print, and the joke gained favor rapidly, till it penetrated and was recognized in every part of tho coun­ try, and, says John Frost, tbe Boston historian, will do doubt continue so while the United States remains a nation. Ic is now firmly imbedded in tbe Mosiac of onr language, like "Tippe­ canoe,’’ "I»g Cabin” and other short but expressive phrases, which refer to important events in the history of the republic. Both "Tippecanoe” and "Log Cabin” have take on renewed force and vitality since their adoption by H. H. Warner, of Safe Cure fame, in tbe namingof two of his great stand­ ard remedies, tbe principal one known as Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. They are based upon formulas so suc­ cessfully used by onr ancestors in tbe cure of tbe common ailments to which tbeir arduous labor rendered them liable in the good old Log Cabin days.

An American Girl's Adventtfrd. American girls who live abroad un­ chaperoned aro often subjected to in­ dignities of a startling kind. It is not usual, however, that a cabman furnishes material for a gossipy story; yet, one young woman had an adven­ ture with a man of this class which she will not soon forgot. Sho is the daughter of a promincat politician who has hold many offices of distinction, and is spending the season in Berlin. Callings carriage, in tho early hours of the morning after a brilliant ball, the young woman started home. It is customary in Berlin, when sending a girl home in a cab, to require a ticket, which the jriiu is compelled to give, upon which are his number and the price of the trip, and which, in case of any accident, can bo used in evidence. The escort of the American girl had neglected this. The journev led her through a lonely part uf lhe Thtargarton, where oven in daytime people sel­ dom walk. When in the darkest cor­ ner the car suddenly stopped, tbe driv­ er descended from his box, opened the door, and thus addressed the young lady: “Miss, I have often heart! that a kiss from tho htgh Indies tastes bet­ ter than one from our people, and I am going to know for myself?’ With that, he stretched out his bands, covered wito their buckskin gloves, clasped Urts girl about the neck, and drew her. screaming, to­ ward him. Resistancawas impossible, her cries were unheard; and the coach­ man’s lips touched her own. With the aggravating remark, "Not a bit!” he clMed the door, and continued tbe journey, assisting his victim, to alight when the destination was reached. The young lady rushed into tbe house, not wait ng to pay her fare, and spent hours scrubbing her lips. She had no means of identifying the scoundrel and he escaped unpunished.—Berlin Letter. The growth of tho business of light­ ing public streets and squares may properly be classed as one of the won­ ders of modern times. Tbe first feeble attempts to light tbe highways were made at Eddesea and Antioch iu the fifth century, laws being peeoed to oblige persons to place lights in their windows. Similar laws were not paseed in England until the sixteenth century. In 1662 a body of torch boys was organized in London, who for a small fee accompanied pedestrians. Five years later, at Paris, chains were hung across the streets and lanterns suspended from them. Early in tbe present century the streets of London were lighted by insignificant oil lamps, but they were'still so dark that thieves Nourished and robberies wore common at night Tbe groat advauoo in the matter of lighting public streets has been made within the last half century.

Tom would go down-town, have some fun with the boys, get full, then come home and give his poor wife a pounding. The evening’s sport ended in a free fight with thwpolice and Tom in tbe cala­ boose. These wife-beating entertain­ ments usually occurred along in tho morning from 1 to 8 o'clock. Any­ where between those hours Peck was likely to bo routed out to go down and arrest Tom Mulcahy for beating his wife. This sort of thing went on for sometime. Then Peck became tired of getting out in tho cold from a warm bc<I. One day down he went to where Tom was working. Tom was at a bench when Pock walked in with a cheery; salutation. Tom looked at him suspiciously, half expecting a sum­ mons to go to tho calaboose. “No. I'm not after you this time, Tom," said Peck. “I just thought I would come down and see if I couldn’t enter into an agreement with you." “What is it sorF’ cautiously replied Tom. “Well, you know you are tn tho habit ,of beating vour wife.” The big IMshman nodded. “Now, I don’t object to that especially. Of course you have to have a little fun once in awhile, but I; want to see if you will not do it a little earlier. I go to bed at half-past 9 ,every night It isn’t pleasant to be ■ pulled out of bed along about 2 o’clock to come down and help arrest you. What I want to do is to arrange with you so that when you feel like pound­ ing your wife you will do it before 9:­ 30?’ Mulcahy's face during this intro­ ductory was a study. At last he broke out with: “Mr. Peck, it’s the gintleman ye ere. I’ll do it" A solemn hand-shake ratified tho agreement “Now understand, Tom, you agree to do all that sort of thing before 9 JO,” said Pock, as bo opened the door. “I do, sor. 1’11 remember.”' A few nights afterward, just as Peck had reached home a policeman came run­ ning up, crying: “Chief. Tom Mulcahy is pounding his wife,” Peck slipped in­ to his overcoat and went down to the Mulcahy residence. There was Tom, tho worse for liquor, and in one corner his wife, trying to save herself from another attack. A soon as he caught sight of Peck Tom yelled. “It’s meaclfs lived up to tho agreement, chief." “Tom, you’re a gentleman,’’ was tho reply. “Come, now, como along up to the jail.” Without a word Tom marched out between two police­ men with head up. prouder of having lived up to his won! than a general of conquering an army.

On the banks of Blue Lick, in Clark Coun­ ty, Ind., stands a cozy, weather-proof log cabin. There is nothing remarkable about the structure, but one of its occupants cer­ tainly is, for he has achieved the moat numerous fatherhood of any man in the State, so faros heard from. This man of many children is “Uncle” Alfred Evans. A Louisville (Ky.} Time* reporter hunted him up. and found lhe old man sitting before a blazing log-fire, musing and whittling a pine stick. He is a negro, aud, in answer to rcporlorpil inquiry, said: “I'se sixtyfour years old las' Christmas Day, boss. I’m been married foah times, an' bos thirty-six chillun." Evans docs not look quite so old, no white kinks orc yet to be seer in bis wool, and ho seemed os happy a block man as can be found anywhere. Me related his story without hesitation, and there can be no doubt about iu truthfulness, for tho old man is too innocent to construct a false­ hood. Ho was born in Hydo County. N. C-, thirty-eight miles from tho nearest post­ office, called Washington City. Of course ho was bom a slave, being the property of a Captain Blunt His first three wives ho married under the slave dispensation, and they presented him with a total of twenty­ seven children, fourteen boys and thirteen girls. Tbo wives were dead, but tbo children were all living when tbe war broke out. Then his master organized a •ompany, and, with Evans as his body serv­ ant, went forth to do battle. This was the last Evans ever saw of Ms “Tar-heel” children. Continuing with his master for several months through the varying fortunes of war, he finally, while in Tennessee, beard of President Linooln’s emancipation proclamation, and thereupon left the Confederates and made his way to Fayette County, Ky. Ho next en­ listed in Company A, One-hundred-andninetoeth colored troops. After u brief service, without participating in any im­ portant engagement, his regiment was mustered out in Louisville In He lived in Jefferson awhile, working to get money enough to take him back to North Carolina, and wrote to hu people again and again, but received no answer. ^Finally, falling to accumulate sufficient money to re­ turn, he married again. Twenty years ago ho moved to his present home, and there his wife mode him happy with nine more children. Evons bad a brother on the old North Carolina plantation, who, though younger, was probably as prolific a man us “Uncle” Alf, for up to the time when the latter left to fallow Ids master's fortunes through lhe war, his brother was tho father of twentyfive children.

CUSTOMS OF COUNTRIES. A North German custom and supersti lion is, that if thu master of the bouse dies, a pcrs8n must go to the bcc-hlvc. knock and repeat these words: •' The master Is dead, tbo master is dead,” else the bees will fly away. This superstition also pre­ vails in England, Lithusuia and in France. The Mexicans have a queer way of bury­ ing the dead. The corpse is tightlywrapped in century plant matting and placed in a coffin rented for about twentyfive cents. One or two natives, as the case may be, place the coffin on their beads aud go in a trot to the grave, where the body is interred, und the coffin is then returned. The wealthy class use tho street cars as hearses, und the friends follow beside the car oh foo V A LAKT, traveling .through Tyrol, over­ heard the driver talking to u man at his side od tho box, complaining of his occup iUon.

They found Aunt Pruo in the door­ way. watching -for her nieco. She gently reproved the girl for allowing herself to. bo overtaken by such a storm—at the samo time kindly thanking Arthur for tho service he had rendered. At her cordial invitation he accom­ panied them into thu house and re­ mained with them until the rain wo# over. Miss Dalton wa# nil solicitude when sho learned*that their friend, aa Ora styled Arthur, had come to the coun­ try at tho advice of his physician, for a few weeks* rest and recreation. "Ora and I will do what wo can to make your stay pleasant!” she assured him. "Our house and grounds will always be open .to you.” As Arthur looked into her genial, intelligent face he felt that distrust of human nature in such a heart as hers could only be the result of a great und cruel wrong. Arthur and Ora mot almost every day thereafter. ’Dio meadow wns n favorite resort of both, mid Arthur was not slow to avail himself of Miss Dalton’s hospitality. To him tbo hour# passed in Ora’# society seemed like moments spent in paradise. They were very happy hours to Ora. also, and she was too artless to wish to conceal the fact. . Miss Dnltcm evidently had no fear that Arthur would make any impres­ sion upon the heart of hornle-je. No doubt sho felt confident that it had be­ come invincible under her careful molding. "What do you think?" exclaimed Ora, in great glee, one day, os she und Arthur started for u walk. "Aunt Prue is going to employ a companion for me. She says I am too old for my years, and that it is because I have hud too little intercourse with congenial girl# ot my own age. Next winter I am to have a taste of city life.” "If you go to the city you may ex­ pert to have lovers by tbe score.” said Arthur, laughing. "They would desert mo. I fancy, when they found themselves treated like so many nobodluit!” was her characteristic reply. "What would you say if a very dear friend were to tall you thnj he loved you?" and he looked at her searchingly, as he put the question. "I #hould say.” she answered, her eyes frankly meeting his, "that the sooner he learned to forget mo the better; and for his Bake I should in­ sist on ending our acquaintance then and there.’’ "Just what one might expect from you. I am glad I have learned wisdom in time.” replied Arthur, jocularly. "Ybu are to be congratulated,” she returned, in the same lone. Arthur was silent awhile and his agitated face plainly showed that something unusual was passing in hi# mind. _ "What is tbo matter?" asked Ora. "I was thinking." he replied, "of a young ladv who. I feel sure, will exactly suit as a companion for you." "I# she a friend of your#?" inquired Ora "She was one of my earliest play­ mates." he replied, evasively. Her name Is Bertha Lenox, and she would like nothing better than to spend a summer in this quiet, country re­ treat. to Bcvvmpmiy■ Berths in her walk#. She did not feol like going, she would say, and her pale face und weary eyes certainly confirmed the statement. In the short space of a month #he changed from a blooming, vivacious girl into a pale, quiet woman, in whose face a history was written. Slowly but surely ber aunt learned the snd truth that her darling Ora bad given ber heart unsought to the lover of Bertha Lenox. The good lady hod fondly believed that sho had inspired her niece with a contempt of love so strong as to destroy her natural susceptibility. Poor, un­ sophisticated Aunt Prue! How bitterly she reproached herself for her blind folly, when too lata. ' • Sho said nothing to Ora on the sub­ ject of tho latter’# hopeless love, wisely concluding that the girl would be hap­ pier In supposing the secret safe in her own breast. One evening, Bertha blushingly told Mis# Dalton thntshe waa to be married the following wook, "I atn sorry to leave #o soon!” she said. "When I came, we bad deferred our marriage until next wintar. But now we have concluded to hasten it, to spare Arthur useless anxiety. He has been unexpectedly summoned to Cali­ fornia on business which will detain him there about a year. He can not bear to think of going so far away aud leaving me unprovided for.” They talked for some time, and it wns arranged, at Bertha’s request, that the wedding should take place there, . Ora, awaking from n troubled sleep on the sofa, wns a silent listener to the entire conversation. When left alone she arose, with a feverish-light in her eyes, and hurried to her room. She emerged In a few moments, closely veiled 'and carrying a small valise. Satisfying herself that she was un­ observed she stole noiselessly down the stairs und out of the house. "I can not stay and sec them mar- 1 rled. I should betray rny feelings, and Aunt Prue would despise mu as 1 despise myself.’! This thought kept whirling through her distracted brain as she rapidly pursued her way to the littlo station, about a mile distant. She boarded the cast-bound train which was just ready to move out. Her vague plan was to go to the city and endeavor to secure a situation as family governess. She trusted that her pocket money would supply her wants until sho could find employment. , Purchasing nn evening paper, she eagerly glanced through the adver­ tisements.

"If my Prudence is os forgiving as you are we may be happy yet." he said, tenderly returning her embrace, "for I have lately succeeded to an in­ dependent fortune." There was a joyful reunion that evening in the Dalton home.

TMIBTY-riVE TKABB WITH IKDIASB. —Rev. Father John E. Wiekamp died recently at the Franciscan Monastery, at Cross Village. For thirty.five yean Father Wiekamp had 1-een a missionary among the Indians in that part of the State. Tbs best years of his lifs had been da voted to their guidance and in­ struction. He bad been their spiritaal triend and tbeir adviser in business af­ fairs, and be possesned their love, esteem, aflH confidence. All tbe Indians for miles around who could reach Cross Vil­ lage were in attendance st bis funeral, and by tbeir actions demonstrated tbo deep grief they felt Father Wiekamp was loro in Westphalia, Germany, in 1818, and was ordained a priest in 1849. He chose tho missionary field "for his life's labor, came to America, and in 1854 arrived in Chicago. The following spring he went to Harbor Springs, and en­ tered upon bis labors among tbe Indians, who bad befqre received religious in■truotions from Bishop Baraga and other Catholic pioneers. The Indians at Cross Village, a small settlement on the lake ■bore a dozen miles north of tbo springs, seemed to be more in need .of spiritual advice, and in 1856 be located there. At that time there ware not a dozen white men in that part of the country. The Jiorth was a wilderness, and the only means of communication were tbo Indian trails to Maskegon and Grand Rapids, and by water with Chicago and around the lakes to Detroit. Tbe Indians, though partially'civilized, lived in the crudest manner possible—on the fish and game they caught and on the small crops of corn the squaws managed to raise. To support himself and not to be a burden on the Indians, Father Wie­ kamp, by hjs own labor, cleared a small farm. Lacking the necessary imple­ ments, tbe first crop of wheqt he raised was cut with knives. He toiled early und late, and sought by precept and example to inculcate principles of morality " and industry among tho Indians, arduous Finding his work too he founded & monastery of the Franciscan order, and for thirty years wm at the head of tho institution. Under his direAion a mngnificent farm was cut out of tbe virgin forest. He built a saw­ mill and a grist-mill—almost the first of the kind ia that part of tbe State. The monastery building is two stories in height, constructed of logs, cased with boards on the outside, and pointed white. Simple homes were erected as tbeir need was felt, and all tbe structures are of logs and all ore painted white. The farm is situated on a rolling piece of ground, sloping toward Lake Michigsn, which spreads out before it. The monastery, mills, bonis and outhouses can be seen from a long distance, and present a pictureoque view from the passing steamers. Tho property is valued at $20,000, and ia all the resnk of the work of Father Wie­ kamp and tbe Franciscan Brothers. Near the monastery that ho erected Father Wiekamp built a small chapel, in which he spent at leart on hour every day in meditation and devotiqg. In tbe floor of tho chapel was a deep open grave, which be dug himself, and for years his hour of prayer was passed beside the grave, and in this grave his body reposes. Tha funeral sarvioos were conducted by the Franciscans of the mon­ astery and tho«e who are located at Har­ bor Springs, assisted by all the Catholic clergy in that part of the State. There are nearly one hundred Indian families at Cross Village, with but few exceptions Catholics, and they were all in attend­ ance, from the aged brave to the smallest papoose. Nearly all the Indians of Har­ bor Springs and in that vicinity went to pay their respects to the memory of the dead, going on foot and in wagons over the rough rood. They ail loved the de­ parted Father, who for thirty-five years had officiated at all their cere monies, whether of joy or sorrow, and while the mourning was not demonstrative it was none the lees sincere. Michigan are pending in ths United States land office at MaiqneUe. The property in question is sevsral thousand acres of pins lands valued at between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000. Congress gave to Michigan to aid in lhe construction of a railroad ten sections per mile on each aide, with the right to Mlect indemnity within a fifteen* mile limit. Under Stats legislation tha Marquette, Houghton A Ontonagon Rail­ road Company became the owner of tha grant, which included 565,411 acres. The failure on the part of the company to con­ struct the entire line resulted in an order by Secretary Lamar, restoring all of the unearned land embraced in the original grant. Upon receipt of this order home­ steaders poured in and pre-empted the land which is principally in Ontonagon Coun­ ty. The time for filing claims in tbe land office expired Oct. 30.1887. Land lookers and locators were in great demand. Many men who were entirely ignorant of the surveys camo forward claiming to bo competent to locate the land. The result is innumerable conflicting entries, some sections of land haring as many as four contestants. Many pins dealers had acquiretl a largo number of soldiers' addi­ tional homestead scrip, upon which they had entered the land in 1883-5. Under the order restoring the land they prompt­ ly filed tbeir renewal applications ths monflng of Oct. 10, thus antedating, as their attorneys claim, the homestead en­ tries of the same date. These soldiers' additional8 cover a little over 3,000 acres of tho finest pine landa'in tbe State, every acre of which ia claimed by from one w five homesteaders. Tbe qnestion to be decided is this: The land having teen opened to settlers by order of tbe Land Office at Washington Aug. 15, 1887, and for actual filing in tbe laud office Oct. 10. could the soldiers* ad­ ditional homestead entries give any rights prior to making tha actual filing Oct. 10 under that order? If not tbe actual set­ tler between Aug. 15, and Oct. 10, 1887, would have prior right which would su­ persede any claim of the others. A peculiar feature of the contest is seen in the fact that there has as yet developed but little proof that the homesteaders settled upon tbo land in good faith. A ridiculous feature appears in the fact that tho "fanners," in their rush to acquire possession of the fertile soil, passed over nearly 200,000 acres of the finest farming land and lit upon the pine sections^ with­ out knowing it themselves.

J >M> ASM fit (Alt* (Samoa) spsdoL] Tho hurricane which passed over tho Samoan Islands March 16th aud 17th was the most violent and destructive storm ever known in the South Pacific. The loss to life and property was very Kat. The United ana Germany alone 1142 lives and $3,000,000 worth of property. 8tx.wasships and ten other vesseb were dislodged or drivep ashore. Of the American gunboat* the Trenton liesno*r the Unite'd States consulate and is fast going to piece*. The Vanda­ lia is buried out of sight between the Trenton and the shore. Her shattered foremast and smokestack rise from the water to mark the spot where the gallant vesael struck and lay for twelve hours before tho awful torrent of water swept our officers and thirty-nino men from her deck* and rigging. The Ninsic lay for several days alongside tho Vandalia, jrith her bow high ojn the heach and within five feet of the water's edge. The vessel, though badiy damoged, was-. hauled off a few day* after the storm and is the only warship afloat in the harbor. She lost five men by tbe swamp­ ing of a boat, and two others who jumped overboard were drowned. It wa* on the little German gunboat Eber that the greatest lose of life occur­ red. She had a complement of six offi­ cers and seventy-six men. Five men were ashore during the storm. When the vessel struck the reef she sank com­ pletely out of sight, and a minute later there was not a vestige of her to be seen. Every man on board was lost except one officer and four sailors. The German corvette Olga suffered les* than any of the other vessels. The British ship Cal­ liope was the only one that escaped. Bhe having very powerful machinery, put to sea. All tho other vessels had a full head-of Kteam on and three or four an­ chors out, but before that awful storm tltuy were like toys in the hands of a gi­ ant. Many of tho sailors became drunk soon after they got ashore. But the officers rallied them and the injured were cared for. The natives rendered every assistance, Americans and Ger­ mans being treated alike. The damage on shore was also very great. Houses wore pnroofed and blown down and trees and fences were thrown across tho streets so that passage was almost blocked. All tbe vessels weathered the storm through Friday night, but all had dragged their anchors. A little after 5 o'clock the first rays of dawn broke upon the scene and to those on shore revealed a spectacle not often witnessed. The position of the vessels wa* entirelychanged. The wind, which was blow­ ing from tho northeast, had swept them from their former moorings, and they were all bearing down in the direc­ tion of tho reef. Black smoke was pour­ ing from their funnels, showing that desperate efforts were being mado to keep them up against tho wind. Tbeir deck* wore swarming with men clinging to the masts or any other objects. The hulls of the war-ships were tossing about like corks. One moment tho vessels seemed to stand almost upon their beams* end aud tho next instant their sterns would rise out of tho water and expose to view the rudders and rapidly revolving propeller*. Thun the huge prows would be lifted high in the air, only to plunge into the next wave and deluge the ship* with a torrent of water. It was then seen that tbo vessels were doomed and they soon succumbed to the fury of the tempest. Soon tho Adler came ashore and sho was followed by the Nipsic. Most of the men on tho latter were got ashore on a hawser which tho natives mado fast. The British ship Calliope was still in the harbor. Bhe was lying near thb Van­ dalia and a collision between tbo two seemed certain. ThoCalliopo wa*nearer shore and her bow was close to the stem of the Vandalia. Great waves were toss­ ing the two vessels about and they were coming closer together every minute. Suddenly tho great iron prow of the thigh in the Englishman rose air on tbe crest of _an enormans wave and came down ‘ nth full force upon the jport quarter of the Vandalia. The eras! «n was awful. The jib-boom of tha Calliope was carried away and the heavy timbers of the Van­ dalia were shivered. Every man who stood npon the poop-deck of the. Van­ dalia was thrown from bis feet by the shock. A hole had been torn below the rail and tho water rushed into the cabin. It seemed that the Vandalia had received her death blow and the men rpshed up tho hatches in the belief that the steamer was Kinking, and it was only after great effort that the officer* persuaded them to return to their posts. Just after this collision Cspt. Kane of the Calliope determined to make an effort to steam out of the harbor, as he saw that to remain in his present posi­ tion would lead to another collision with the Vandalia or throw bis vessel on the reef. He accordingly gave the order to let go all anchor*. The Calliope's bead wm swung around to the wind, and her powerful engines were worked to their utmost capacity. It was an anxious moment on board the corvette, as with her anchors gone, she had nothing but her engines to depend upon to keep her off the reef. The steamer seemed to stand still for a moment, and then the rapidly revolving propeller had its effect, for tbe vessel moved up slowly against the great waves, which broke over her bows and flooded har decks from stem to stern. Clouds of black smoke poured from her funnels and fresh coed was thrown into the furnaces. All har great power was used in the des­ perate struggle against tbe storm. She seemed to make ber headway at first inch by inch, but her speed gradually increased until it became evident she could clear the harbor. As she passed abreast of the Trenton a great shout went up from over 400 men aboard tho flagship and three hearty cheers were given foe the Calliope. "Three cheers for the Trenton and the American flag" was the answer that came back across the angry waters. The Calliope passed safely out of the harbor and steamed far out to sea, returning after tho storm abated. An attempt waa then made to beach the Vandalia, aad she wm run along- share, when she grounded. Several at- they were in vain. The tuna with her broadside the light WM begiantna to fade away, and in half an hour tie Trenton had drifted on to within a few yards of the Vandalia’s bow. and the men in the rig- as they saw the Trenton approsehj The poor creature* who bad be«n cling­ ing for hours to the rigging of the Van­ dalia were -bruised aud bleeding, but they held on with the desperation of' men who bang by a thread of life. Theirfinal hour seemed to be upon them. Tho great black hull of the Trenton could bo seen through the darkness almost ready to crusb into the stranded Vandalia anagrind her to atoms. Suddenly a shout waa heard across tbewaters. The Trenton was cheering tho Vandalia. The sound of 450 voices brokeupon the air. “Three cheers for theVandalia** wa* the cry that wanned thohearts of the dying men in tho rigging. Tho shdut died away npon tho storm anti there arose from tho quivering masts of the tranken ship a response so feeble that it was scareely heard upon shore. Tbenound of music next came across tho water, the Trenton's band was playing “The Star Spangled Banner." The thou­ sands of men on tho sea and shore had. never before heard strains of music st. such a time as this. An indescribablafecling came overthe hundreds of Amer­ icans on tbo beach who listened to thunotes of the national anthem, minglsdwith the bowl of the storm.. For a mo­ ment only they were silent and then they broke forth w’ith a cry that rent -the airand reached each of the struggling mexa on the rigging of the Vandalia. Tbo men who had exhausted every means during the whole of that awful day of rendering some assistance to thefir comrades now seemed inspired to greaterefforts. The collision of the .Trenton, and Vandalia, which every one though* would crush the latter vessel to pieces^ proved to be the salvation of the men in the rigging. Notwithstanding the tre­ mendous force of the waves the Trentote dragged back slowly, and when her stem finally struck the ride of tho Vandalia* there was no shock and she gradually swung around broadside to the sunkete ship. 'As soon as the vessels touched, the men in the mizxen rigging crawled out on the yards and jumped to the deck, of the Trenton. Tbo men escaped just in time, for as the last left the yards the* mizzenmast of the Vandalia fell with te crash on tho ride next to tho shore. Thoother men escaped in the same way. After the storm abated somewhat, tbomen on tho Trenton were taken off ia boats. King Mataufa come down from his camp curly in tho morning for the* first time in several months. He wen* down on the shore and directed the na­ tives in their work. He then went to thatAmerican Consulate and offered tho services of all his men to Vico Coneuh Blacklock. By noon there were nearly 800 Ameri­ can sailors on the streets of Apia. Tho saloons were crowded with them, and itwa* not long before many were disor­ derly. Vice Consul Blacklock, resog— nizing the gravity of tho situation* issued a peremptory notice to all saloon­ keepers in town of whatever nationhlityforbidding them to sell or in any way furnish liquor to Aiut-rican sailors, ano. notifying them that if they did not obey! this order a guard of marines would basont to their places and all liquor emp­ tied into the street. Most of tho Trenton's crew remained: aboard of her after the storm subsided, and work was begun to lighten her nndl pump her out, but it is feared she wa»badly broken below. All the inhabitants* united in rendering aid to the shipi-wTecked sailors, many of whom ore shel­ tered in tents in Apia. Admiral Kim­ berly remained with the Trenton. MEN WHO DREW PRIZES. Thoma* B.

Go out at once,” ordered Captain Btarbright. At this moment tbe girl caught sight with a shrill of alarm she darted for­ ward and benttwer the old millionaire. “Grandpa! grandpa! speak to me," cried Grace Penroy, shrilly, seising one of bls ■bands. ' The chill of death was in tho old palms, and on tbo instant tbo girl realized tbe truth, that tho kind old man, kind to her al least, would never speak again. He was dead, hod died without looking again upon her face. Tho thought was a moat painful one to poor Grace. She could not weep then, for indignation bold sway In her heart. Turning upon Captain Btarbright, she cried: “ You promised to send for mo and did not. Cruel man 1” Then, without waiting for a word from him, she walked with bowed head and sor­ rowful mien from tho room, Scekraoro Gripes glided to tho door with a cat-liku trend and turned tho key hi tbe “.You should have taken that precaution before,” be said, piercing the Captain with his little gray eyes“ It was au oversight on my part," admit­ ted Captain Btarbright. “ Which may prove your downfall.” “ Don’t crook.

' Tho heartless lawyer penetrated his com­ panion with a glance. “This calamity is so sudden I am not pre­ pared to stale," answered tbo Captain, pacing the room with uneasy strides. “No will has been made,” remarked tho lawyer. “Death thwarted you there." “ Aqd tho property goes to tho next of kin!” “Certainly.” Btarbright thought of Mrs. Penroy and groaned. Ho knew that she hated him, and would lie only too glad to order him kicked from the houso should sbo come into posses­ sion. Should ho permit this pale, worn-out woman to win tho millions for which he had been scheming so long! No, ho could not tbinkof it. Ho believed now that a mistake bad been mado in giving that potion to tho old man. Although it contained but ono drop of the “cough dStps” obtained from Mother Caberu. that drops had, tho Captain believed, proved fatal “One minute more of IKo and tho will would have been signed,” uttered tho Cap­ tain at length, with a groan. “That is true.” Captain Btarbright bent over tho docu­ ment m it lay spread out on the lablo. With a name signed at the foot it would be a legal document, as it was it wus only so much blank paper. The Captain was not the man to permit a fortune to slip through his “ A few strokes of a pen would fix that,” fco said in a low tone, glancing nt Mr. The lawyer looked wise, but said noUiing. Perhaps be was keen enough not to advise in such an emergency. “It was evidently the old man's intention -to sign tho will," pursued Captain Starbright “It was his/frit Intention," returned Mr. Gripes, significantly. “There is a million at stake,Mr. Gripes." Tho lawyer nodded“Just turn your back ono moment." Soekmore Gripes did so. He heard the scratch, scratch of a pen, then the Captain’s voice: The lawyer turned about nnd camo for­ ward, peering over the Captain's shoulder at the paper now lying on tho table. One jdance sufficed to show that tho will bore in proper place tbe name of Morgan Vendible. “ How is that I" “It looks fair,” admitted tbe lawyer. “ It <s fair. I have only carried out tbo old man's wishes." “Hisjlrrt intentions, certainly.” “Well, first intentions are tho best ones," asserted Captain Btarbright “1 want you to take possession of the will, Mr. Gripes, and bring it forward at Ute proper time." Beckmore Gripes sat m bis room at hto boanimg-bouse (be wm a bachelor) oogerly scanning a legal document, no less a paper than tbo last "rfli aud testament of Morgan Vendible. It was a week subsequent to tbo funeral ot tbo old millionaire. Tho window was open, and a breath of fresh night air fanned the withered cheek of tho acute lawyer. Ho seemed satisfied with tils scrutiny just as a rap announced a visitor. Laying down the paper, Mr. Gripes crossed the carpeted floor and admitted.Captain Starbright. During this brief moment a hand shot from the outer darkness through tho open window, nnd quickly removed tho paper from tho narrow tabic. “ 1 come, as you have doublets guessed, to a peak of tbe will—’* “ Certainly, Captain. Here it to." Crossing to the table Mr. Gripes put out his hand, and thcn^glancing sharply about, uttered a low cry. “ What to It now, Beckmore!’’ queried tho Captain, quickly. “Tho will!" cried tho lawyer,. “It laid on that table a moment since, and now it to gone!" CHAPTER XV. A.V CXFLEASAXT INTEIUttrFHOR. “ Gone! The will gone! 1 f you have lost that paper, Seekmorc Gripes, I'll be the death of you,"cried Captain StarbrighU in astern voice, in which anger and alarm were mingled. “The wind must have blown it out the window," returned tho lawyer. “A look outside will mako every thing plain sailing again.” Procuring the lamp Mr. Gripes leaned out into the night, flashing tho glow up and down the jxirch that ran the length of that aide of tho bouse. He saw nothing of tbe tost paper, and as there was scarcely a movement of air, it was not likely that tho document bad been cast out by the wind. It was but a few feet from tho window to the j»rch, and both men proceeded at once to search the premises. Nq/diseovenes were made, however, save that tho imprint of a foot was found iu tho garden where the ground wtis soft and damp. Tbe track was followed to the sidewalk, where all trace wus lost. “ Somebody is on to your tricks, Captain,” said Mr. Gripes, after the twain stood once more in the lawyer's room. A black look came to the face ot the dis­ comfited Captain. “ It seems evident that a theft has cither been committed, or else—’’ The ferret eyes of tho lawyer were fixed in a keen gaze on tho face of the speaker. “ Well, Captain I" “ Or otherwise you arc playing a double gome !*’ “ Indeed! I am a gentleman, sir." “Doubtless" “1 have professional honor at stake, Captain Btarbright. Rather than go con­ trary to my convictions of right, sir. I would pluck out my rightcyc.” An incredulous smile moved the tawny mustache of the Captain. The lawyer did not seem to be offended, however. Evidently ho understood the man he was dealing with perfectly. It would be a bard matter to abnud the feelings of a manlike Beckmore Gripes, who had been for more than forty years a criminal de­ fender of the most conscienceless type. His class exist and prey on tho public in all large towns, as the reader knows, and in giving bis character an airing no offense Is mcunVJtoward that large class of honor­ able men who make law their calling in life. There was no disguising the fact that tbo will was lost Gnpes knew that it was stolen, the Captain could not be sure. In any event hewas puzzled and deeply chagrined. “1 do not understand it," finally muttered Captaiu Btarbright “Who could wish to destroy the will!” “That is not fo» mo to say. You ought to be posted.” “I can think of but one who would be ben­ efited by such villainy," said the Captain. • "Whois that!" “Exactly." “It can not be that she has had n hand In this. She hasn't the requisite nerve to do such a thing.” "A weak woman, eh!” smiied the lawyer. "I find them tbe hardest cases in my experi­ ence.” ’ “Then yon Imagine that she, that faded widow, without lifoenough to more than ex­ “True; that important part must not bo ist, lias compassed ten miles of space at forgotten.

I have gone too far for that—too many lives lie under my feet” Then tho Captain thought of th" mention of the forged Will in tho note ho had just received. “ I can only account for that on tbo sup­ position that It was done out of mere bra­ vado. No one saw the forgery. Wentword is at tho bottom of tne theft, and I’ll tura my attention to him immediately. Poor fool! He will find that he can not tamper with my plans with impunity.” In the meantime the person who had brushed against tho Captain and pressed tbe note into his hand hurried down tho street without ouce looking behind him. At tho intersection of another street he turned down and moved with rapid strides toward that part of the little city bordering on a river. He entered an ‘ alley-way, passed through a side door and up a flight of stairs, opening another door, admitting him into a small, dimly-lighted apartmeut, occu­ pied byliro persona “Ah, tbe gondolier has returned 1" A slender figure advanced, and, as tho light from above Jails on his face, wo rec­ ognize the well-known features of Louis Fingal. 1 • “Aye!” exclaimed the last comer, in a shrill, unpleasant voice. "The henchman of the Doge comes.

Como forward, Austin, and let us view your kindiy countenance." The third man stepped forward. It was Austin Wentword, tbe young me­ chanic. Ho was well clad, and there was a look of interest manifest on ins frank, hand­ some face. He had been iu deep trout to during the post few weeks on account ot bis quarrel with Grace. To-day, however, a change had come over the spirit of his dreams. Louis Fingal was tho-magician who had worked the transformation, and made tbe warm blood to flow with ita wonted fervor through the veins of young Wentword. “Grace still loves you, but Captain Starbright has planned your ruin and tbe pos­ session of tho heiress," asserted tho young hunter, and then ho entered into an ex­ planation that ein firmed all that he assort­ ed. Bo we find tbe young mechanic ready to enter into plans for the defeat of the scheming Captain. The third member of tho tno was a curi­ osity. He had removed his hat and stood plainly revealed. Above tho medium height, with high, noble brow, he would have been handsome but for tho wild look in the deep-set, dark eyes. His beard, almost white, reached be­ low bls waist, and tho thin hair was also long, though nicely combed and oiled. Tbe cheeks were ttiln and hollow, and every movement of the man indicated unsteadi­ ness of thought; that his mind was in a daze. His dress was of the coarsest ma­ terial, yet well fitting and remarkable for its neatness. "Is the council ready to hear tne report of the grand chamberlain!" questioned tins strange tuan, gazing about the room as though it were filled with people. “ We aro ready,’' answered Fingal. Then be turned to Wentword and whispered: "There is method la his madneas, I am sure. He has suffered some great wrong, "Listen to Don Benito's report," cried tbe strange old man, moving his hand sev­ eral times over the heads of his c<>m[>at>- Townships. We bare already explained that a contract has been made by the Barry county Soldiers and Sailors Monument Association with A. Black & Son-of Hastings, for a. $4,500 granite monu­ ment, to be dedicated to the memory of the 1,000 citizen soldier* furnished bv Barry county in the war for Union. Messrs. Black & Son have advices from the Barre granite works from whom the monument has been con­ tracted by qiem, that it is nearly ready for shipment, and will be sent very soon. \ The tithe fqr action is near -«t uauu. The necessary action must be taken and that very soon. This is a county matter, in which every man, woman and child in the county has an interest and should be willing and glad to pay something. The monument must bo paid for. It would be tbe blackestsortofarecord for Barry county if one man or firm or a few men should be compelled to paj for that which is to reflect to patriotic feeling of the people of Barry county, and a remainder to sulisequenc genera­ tions that Barry county people appre­ ciated the heroism, the self sacrifice', tip- love of country displayed by her 1,000 boys in blue. This monument is to reflect the apprcciatiOu the people of Barry county have for the blessings of liberty, the peace and prosperity and a united country, a “government of the people by the people nnd for the people” which tbe boys in blue saved aud perpetuat­ ed. That U tbe purpose. To lets few pay for such a work would be tbe most Ignoble thing Barry; county could do. They will Dot do it. We know the people of Barry county aud know that they will never permit sucli an injus­ tice such an outrage to be consummat­ ed. They will never let it go to tho world that Barry county people are built that way. * But something must be dune, and done soon. What is to be doneT Simply this: Every man, woman and child in Bar­ ry county must have this matter pre­ sented to him or her in such a way that his or her duty will lie plain. All must give bnmething. No oue could think of giving less than 10 cents. Every child can do that. No farmer’s wife | would fAil to give the price of two or four dozen of eggs. No farmer would ask to be let off for leas than 50 cents to or more according to bis ability. An average of one dollar a family must be reached and ought to be and can be. Don’t stop to ask what your neighbor does. Dont concern yourself about your neighbors. Do your duty and ex­ pect your neighbors to do the same. They will do it much sooner and bet­ ter if you do yours. How can all this work be done, to reach everybody? Not by one man, nor a dozen nor a hundred. First two good |men must be given charge of the work in tho townships. Then a school district committee of three must bo appointed, consisting of an ex-soldier, a civilion and a lady to canvas each school district thoroughly in the manner just stated, getting as near as possible ono dollar per family. The monument can't be paid for with a similar average. There niut-t uot be delay iu the work. One week’s time ought to finish the work in each township, and will if at­ tended to. Now is a busy time. But tbe work in the school districts can be done evenings as well aa in daytime. Ah'far as practicable Mr. M. L. Cook, who has the matter in charge, will ar­ range for appointing of committees at public meetings. When those cannot be held, be will personally to nam­ ing of committees. School district committees are to re­ port to township committee of two. Township committees will report to M. L..Cbok or C. W. Armstrong, Haat- Subacription papers will be fur­ nished.the diflerent committees by M. L. C<M>k. Now let the people of Barry county take energetic bold of this most lauda­ ble and patriotic enterprise and suc­ cess. It will be Barry county’s greatest shame and reuroach if they ; do not do so. It will be a lasting monument to their^credit if they do. It can be done, and done easily if all work together. Let it be done. “ Wo listen, Don Benito." uttered Fingal, with the most wonderful gravity. “ I hero produce a wonderful document that camo into my possession this night through a strange combination of circum­ MEnnraa. stances," said the old man, drawing forth a folded legal-looklug document and un­ The following meetings have been rolling It “The last wilt and testament of arranged for: Morgan Vendible."

Every morning when the miners em­ ployed in the mines at Bernard assem­ bled around tbe shaft to answer the roll-call, there could be seen arriving last of all a tall, sturdy-lookinjr fellow, who led by the hand a little girl seven or eight years old. They were Michel Pierron and his daughter. Before setting foot upon the platform of the car to descend the man took the little child in his arms and kissed ber, and then replaced her on the ground. Tho little ono criqd: “Good-by, papa.” When tbo signal for the descent was given she clasped ber hands and kept repeating the single word “papa” un­ til she was sure that papa could no longer hear her. Then she went on to the school house close by, where she spent the day. • When the evening came she was al­ ways first at tbe opening of tbe shaft, and Michel Pierron was always the first who came up. As at bis departure, be lifted the child in his arms, and she threw her arms around his nock, cry­ ing. “papa.” The miners bad heard ber repeal these two syllables so often, and had been so struck by the strange passion which she put into them, that they gave her tbe name of Miss Papa. And certainly no name was more applicable. Her father was everything to her. Her mother had been dead a long time; she had scarcely known her; she had only him. All ber mem­ ories of childhood were filled with him. To her his great rough hands bail been as gentle as a woman's. For ber, his hard, grimy face bad always worn a tender smile. For ber, this man bad become a woman and a child at tho same time. ’ Ah! how she loved her father, and how terrified she was every morning when she saw him descend into tbe great biack bole to which no one could see tbe bottom. One day a miner held her over the month of the shaft, and she gazed down into the dark depths. Uttering a cry of terror she drew back. “ Papa woes down there. ” she thought. “Oh, if he should never come Uft” • And that day, when Michel took her in his arms as usual and kissed her, she clung more tightly than ever to his neck, and said to him: “You will come up, won’t you?” “Of course, my little one. “Is there any danger, tell me, papar“Why, no, little coward.” “Does any one—can any one—die down there?” “Have no fear,” replied Michel, laughing; “I will not die without let­ ting you know.” “Ah! Good-by, papa.” All that ber father said was gospel truth to her, and she went to school completely reassured. But the memory of that black gulf into which her eyes had plunged could not be effaced, and from that time she was afraid every morning and trem­ bled every evening; she feared her father would never return from those mysterious depths into which she had seen him descend. Was it presentiment? Who knows? One day the report suddenly spread that an explosion bad occurred in the mine. In a moment’s time a crowd bad gathered at the shaft. From all directions people, wild with terror, came flocking to the spot Of all those buried far below there how many would ever see the light again? Michel's daughter was at school. She knew nothing of it, and besides if any one bad spoken of it before her would she have comprehended? Could she know, poor little one, what an explosion was? No. But at ber age one knows already what death is; one understands at ber age when one sees inanimate, mutilated bodies extended upon the ground, and the ap­ proaches to the shaft were strewn with them when she arrived that evening to meet her father. She was stupified for a moment, and then the truth suddenly flashed upon her; she had seen those men go down living, those men whom she knew so well, who had kissed ber many a lime: and now they were brought np dead. Would they bring up her father like them? This thought distracted her. She which they had brought up from tbe mine, crying: “Papa! Papa! Paps!” There were, it is true, many other* who cried and called “Papa!” but not one in such despairing accents. The others they drove back, but no one could be found to push her away. They let her run, poor child, from one body to another, sometimes slopping before a £lxf Tured face, hesitating tor the living. He was not there. She questinped everyone, but no one had seen him. Of the sixty miners who went down in the morning forty-five had come up alive; fourteen were dead. There re­ mained but one to be accounted -for; that one was Michel. She bad made them explain all that to her, and she understood. She clapped ber hands joyously, as if they baa said to her: “He is all right. You will see him again.” Ah! how she hoped to see him. Then she suddenly recollected tbe morning on which her father had said, to her: “I will not die without letting you know.” It needed only that to give her the certaintv that he was living. A child’s faith is strong. It is not has easy to drive out an idea which Liz once taken root in its mind. So. when the next morning—she had remained there all nigbt—they tried to make .her understand that there was no hope, that she would never again see her father, that they had explored all the galleries, searched every corner and,. had not found him, she shook ber head and began to weep, saying: "Seek for papa!” They paid little attention to her. For forty hours had they notexhausted every means? There was, doubtless, something strauge in this disappear­ ance. Living or dead Michel ought to have been found, and they had not found him. The chief engineer had himself di­ rected the search, but all in vain. In tbe opinion of all nothing more could be done, and it was possible that, by the force of the explosion, the unfort­ unate man had been buried by tbe falling debris, aud it was impossible to tell where or how. For forty-eight hours little Miss Papa, waited anxiously, but without mani­ festing the slightest uneasiness. At, every human form which appeared at’ the opening she started forward. Aud,’ not recognizing him for whom shai waited, she sank back upon thot ground with a . deep sigh. They■ tried to take her away, and she utteredI such piercing cries that they considered[ it best to leave her there. They■ thought that she soon must yield to> fatigue. . Whence comes to the weak and[ feeble such strength in the great crises। in life? Ask God; it is his secret. The third day the child was still att the shaft. “I must put an end to this." said the, engineer, approaching her. “Come,( ’ my little one. be reasonable?” “Papa! seek for papa!” "Alas! he is dead.” “No.” She uttered (his “no” with such en­. ergy that the engineer was struck by it., “Why do you say no?” he asked. “He would have told me.” "Poor Utile one,” murmured the en­. gineer. » And he made a sign to tbo men to> take her away. But she clung desper­. ately to him, crying: “t’apa is not dead. I want to go> down. I will find him.” They bore her away and left ber‘ with the school teacher. An hour lat­‘ er she was back at the shaft, and,» clinging to the engineer's knees, she kept repeating: “I want to go down! I will findI him!” He was a tender-hearted man, that* engineer, nnd be took pity on her. ' “After all,” he said to himself, “that will, perhaps, be the best thing. When1 she has seen with her own eyes, she’ will believe. This excitement, if it lasts much longer, will kill her.” And taking her in his arms, he bore’ her to the car and gave the signal to’ descend. She shuddered when she felt beneath1 her that yawning pit, from which1 arose a foul air which almost suffocat­ ed her. The engineer felt her little arms inclose bis neck, aud ber curly head was pressed against bis own. When they reached the bottom she disengaged herself, sprang to the ground and rushed straight forward, calling: “Papa! papa!” The engineer, who could hardly keep up with her, was tired of explain­ ing to ber twenty times what he had already explained—how the explosion bad taken place, where it had occurred and what they had done to find the ^victims, and the child kept questioning him, and repealed: “He is living! Seek for him!” She would have remained down in the mine three days, as sbe bad al­ ready done at the surface, if they had not taken her by force and carried ber up. The engineej gave orders that she should be taken back to tbe school teacher, and also orders that if sbe re­ appeared at the shaft sbe should be prevented from going into tbo mine. All his measures had been carefully taken, and tho next day, no longer thinking of ber, ho was inspecting one of the galleries when he felt himself siexed bv tho arm ot his coat. It was Miss Papa. She had escaped from the school a second time. Repulsed at the shaft, she had slipped into an eifrpty coal car and had thus descended into the mine. Sbe told all this to the engineer and obtained his pardon. Five minutes later she again began her search, still full of uudiminished faith. The min­ ers followed her with* pitying eyes, shrugging their shoulders, alying, “Poor little papa?’ Little papa kept on seeking with un­ abated courage. Suddenly they saw her running toward them, pale and ex­ cited. “Down there!” she gasped. Down there! Papa!” “ What? Down there ? ” said the miner. “His blouse!” ’ “Bah! Where?” “Down there!” In a moment every one had beard the news, and the mine was in a tum­ ult. The child declared that she had seen a piece of blue cloth in a hole, which she could not raise because it was held down by an enormous piece _____________________________ She could not find the spot. All the blocks of coal resembled each other; all tha cavities were alike, all the galleries were the same. And yet she was sure she had seen that blue piece of cloth. Where the blouse was tho man must be, living, no doubt, and that man was her father, and she could not find him! One by one. tired of the useless search, persuaded that the poor girl was crazed by grief, the men with­ drew and returned to their work. But they had hardly taken up their pick­ axes when a loud cry recalled them to the child. z*hbave found It! I have found it!” They pushed ber aside and looked. Yes, in,was a piece of blue flannel! It wab a |louso! There was a man there! They set to work with a will and in the twinkle of an eye the wall was beaten down and in a deep excavation they saw a man extended; it was Michel Pierron. He had been there three days and four nights. l,oud cries arose on all sides, and. ringing loud above the others a cry escaped from the lips of a childl She threw herself upon.the body*and clasp­ ed it in her arms, half mad, weeping and crying: “Papa! papa!” He was nearly dead, poor Michell Exhausted by lack of air and nourish­ ment ho recovered consciousness only to sink back fainting; but he was alive. Miss Papa had told the truth. The man would not die without telling his child, and the thought of her had sus­ tained him and given him strength to conquer death. A week later he was out and ready to recommence his work. On tho evening of the day before that on which he. was to return to tbe mine a grand-banquet was given by all the miners to Miss Papa. The place of honor was reserved for her. A loud hurrah and wild applause greeted her when she entered, holding du to Michel’s hand. There were kisses given, shouts of “Bravo!” and wild huzzas in honor of the little queen. And do you know what she replied to all this, smiling aud clapping her little bands? She replied: “Papa.” It would be difficult to describe bow and in what tone she uttered, that one word. But all the brave fellows whose eyes had never known a tear, will tell you that they wept that night. • bank The action of th«l Ne» in UnmpiMt U«« l» id payment of its cheeks--------------- — of a rival iastitutioD, brings up tbo question of legal tenders.

Senator Evart* has erected an old fa4itonwl Log Cabin on.• an elevated poiut of land which be recently pur­ chased on tho Potomac, just below Washington. It is much more elegant in its finish aujd appoint men ta than were the homes of our ancestors in the Log Cabin days «< long ago, but probably not more conducive to comfort. Outside it presents the appearance of tbe typical old fashioned house of tho piotM-vra, being built of togs hewn in the adjacent forest and hewed rim! ohinked in tbe olden stylo. Tho interii^will tw finished in native woods _ftnm the place, but, unlike the primi­ tive original, it will be finished in oil. Thin is luxury to which the dwellers in tlie i tide Cabins of early days dared mot aspire, it lieing pure luxury, aud not udding to UK> comfort of the domi­ cile. Senator Evart* began the Log Cabin last siimmer with tbo determination that, if General Harrison were elected, lie would reverse the popular campaign axiom of a century ago. “from the Log Cabin to the White House." to n •octal axiom of tbe present adminis­ tration, “From tbe White House to the Log Cabin." Harrison wits successful; Senator Ev­ arts’ now, old-fashioned Log Cabin will albo doubtless prove a great success. M.ujy a happy day’s surcease from the toils aud cares of his great station, our Log Cabin president will do doubt enjoy leneath its hospitable roof ns tbe guest of tlie genial, senior senator . front New York. Great ns the success may be that at­ tends the introduction of the oldtitiie log cabin to fashionable life, it eauDOt be greater than the success •which bus attended the introduction of ■Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, one of tho old time, eflective remedies, the snsc of niiidi, in ipriimtive times, gave our grand parents health aud rugged old age. Senator Evarts’ tog cabin is but an­ other evidence .of tbe tendency in fashionable society, al present bo marked, toward things primitive and smiquated. The new fashion is for things o!d fashioned, and a return to ■the old fashioned roots and herbs, remedies of log cabin days, is noted with pleasure, as their common use <loes not permanently injure the sys­ tem, as tho use of mineral poisons and drug* of modern medical practice does. A beautiful private car, to be used by ■President. Ledyard, of the .Michigan Onirnl, is now being built by the Michigan car wmk«.

SCHOOL SUFFRAGE. m Prraided Over by Men—Eligibility of Wo men to School Offiee*. . At this time, when there is so wide an awakening of women to their duties tn regard to tho public schools, tho fol­ lowing good article by Mrs. Ellen B. Dietrick, which lately appeared in tho Covington (Ky.) Daily Commonwealth, will have special interest: “That Kentucky once had law-makers who wore men of sense is evident from this extract from her Revised Statutes, 1852; Chapter 6, See. 1: • 'An election ahall bo held *t the *chool-hoose ot each school dlBirict, from 9 a. tn. till fl p. nt. elite first Saturday o? April of each year, for the election of three trustee* for the dlitrict for one year, and until other* are elected and qual­ ified. Tbe qualified voter* of the dlxtrict shall be the elector*, and any widow haring a child vote In person or by written proxy. If »hc ha* no child, but i» a tax-payer, she may vote on tho question of taxe*.* ••It is rather strange that they did not also limit the right of school suf­ frage to widowed fathers, in order to have tho scales of justice balance; but perhaps tho next Legislature will bo sensible enough to make voting for school trustees, with that of all munici­ pal affairs, equally just for all men and women. ’ ••Certainly, if cither sox should bo given tho solo right of deciding about children’s education, it should be the mothers, sisters and maiden aunts, as in nihoty-ntneout of a hundred families the men know little and caro less about what tho children are doing nt school. The mother, having boon educated her­ self with tbo idea that school affairs belong to ••politics,” siromits, .ns sho has been trained to do, to tho evils of tho ■■system,” without a protest “The trustees arc most of them men who, absorbed in their own business or profession, give the ’school tho very least amount of thought nnd time that will suffice to hurry through with that business. A former member of tho school board says it Is almost imi>08sible to get a quorum at any of tho ordi­ nary meetings, that it is a groat boro, nnd somebody ought to take hold of it who has more time and interest in tho subject of education. ••Now tho one point on which all men, the broad-minded men nnd tho little, narrow-minded men agree, is that it is woman’s |»ccuLiar duty to look after the interests of children. After a child is six years of age. tho greater pnrt of its life is spent iu tho school-room until It goes to the work-ehop, store or factory. With tho ago of six it passes from the mother's caro to the guardianship of tho school trustee. The guardian select* the man.or woman into whose hands aro given tho plastic souls nnd tender bodies of tho children for from three to six of their working iTours at tho most impressionable period of their lives, nnd concerns himself very little further about child, teacher or school-room. ‘•Aa all tho decision Is now left to men, mon appoint other men to wash tho windows, sweep the floors and make tho fires of tho school-houses. Not because mon like to wnsh and sweep; it ia doubtful if ono of them w'ould do it in his own house; but be­ cause in most Covington school-houses it pay* better to protend to wnsh win­ dows nnd sweep floors than it does to teach. For instance, thirty-five of tho women school-teachers aro paid less than any ot these male janitors, the wages of the latter ranging from nine­ ty to two hundred and forty dollar* per yoar more than these women teach­ ers receive. '•The women having no representa­ tive on tho school board, tho male trustees naturally allow the malo teach­ ers twice as much as some of the high­ est paid, and five times ns much as tho poorest paid women teachers are able to get Women must begin in the low­ est grade, pnd may work up to be man’s assistant, never higher, while any man who has influence enough to get in at all, goes in as principal. ••Do the male teachers have families to support? ••So do tho women teachers.

Our constant ex­ aminations, weekly and monthly, art about as wise as it would be for a gar­ dener to pull up by the roots every fort­ night to “see how his garden grew.” It teaches the children that tlie one thing in school life is to make a show of knowledge. ‘•Now, let the friends of the schools thoroughly canvass Covington, in the first place to rouse tho interest of all tho widow* entitled to vote, nnd per­ suade thorn to do their duty in 1890; next, to persuade all voters to elect at least two of our most intelligent and motherly women to the office of school trustee, and to sec tbat tho fivo now men, who go in nt that time, are the most broadly educated, tho wisest and best that can bo induced to give their services for the welfare of the city " Woman’s Education. Lndy Aberdeen, in nn address before an educational meeting not long ago, regarding women’s education, said: They serve on school boards and parochial boards, they act on commit­ tees, they take a lending part in “phil­ anthropic, religious nnd mission work.’’ If they aro to maintain this position— and it is tor the good ot tho community ns well ns for their own happiness that they should maintain it—they must pass througji a brain discipline that will fit them to grapple with the problems and perplexities of public life. There is no risk that the tenderness 'of their emo­ tional nature, the delicacies of their feminine sensibilities, will be destroyed by a sound culture of tho intellectual faculties. Women Contribute to tbo management of tbe jioor, the young, the infirm, in so far ns these aro thrown upon the public, nn inestimably valu­ able clement of kindness nnd purity. But there is not tho slightest danger that this element will be extinguished by brain power. A strong feminine understanding will bo tho best ally of a soft feminine heart. WOMAN SUFFRAGE NOTES." The Bostonian Society has voted to admit women, 74 to 14. The vote on tho municipal woman suffrage bill ir. the Ohio House of Rep­ resentatives stood 86 to 36. Thf. lower house of the Michigan Legislature has passed a bill conferring school suffrage upon women. Nothing can be more baseless than tho idea that education and patriotism unfit a woman for the duties of wife and mother. A vote on woman suffrage was taken the other day by tho employes of tho Cleveland (O.) Ship-building Company. Of 125 mechanics who voted, 112 wore in favor. Tho thirteen who opposed it aro foreigners unable to speak Eng­ lish. The argument that women must not vote unless sho chn shoulder the musket has no foundation in reason or in the facts of tho present century. Tho person of the clearest head and purest heart is the best voter, not the man or person of tho most muscle. The fact that three of the greatest books of the century have been written by women—Mrs. Harriet Beecher Stowe, George Eliot nnd Mrs. Hum­ phrey Ward—Is, in tho opinion of an admirer of tho fair sex, a good point for the advocates of woman’s emancipation Women ask for tho right of suffrage, not because they aro abused, but be­ cause they are half of the human race.

Just how restless and discon­ tented I grew with my quiet round, I am glad Salina never knew; for one I SAT AT MY WINDOW. day—one of tho days when I was the hottest with selfish impatience—I camo left, sat down in my window to finish homo nnd found my sister placidly waiting for me, as she had so often the charmed pages of "Eothen.” when, chancing to look up.

Salina, how much brighter and gayer than any thing we ever saw In the old town! Could you wonder. Sa­ lina, that I grow bold and told her my story, or blame me, that when she drew the curtains at last and nodded a fare­ well, I laid down and slept as if 1 had been drinking poppy-juice? After that I always got a nod from her whenever I chanced to see her, but sbe had evidently repented of her for­ mer impulsiveness,and would no longer respond when I tapped some courteous message over to her. Bui one dull Sun­ day, when there was a frightful down­ pouring of rain, I saw my bright lady at her window, and I counted on her ennui to make her kind. The windows were closed, of course, nnd the street quite deserted. Tlie nasturtiums were getting a drenching, the parrot waa not visible. Even the yellow curtains were pushed aside to admit the light, and my bright lady looked very dull as she sat in a prim black gown reading what appeared to me to be the Bible. • I tapped on thoVindow: "For mercy's sake be kind nnd speak to me.” I waited in breathless anxiety. She appeared to be looking for some­ thing. At last she found it. It was a pencil. • "What is tho matter," sho tapped. "What good will it do to have mo speak to you?" "I am perishing of loneliness," I re plied. “Why don’t you go see some ono?” interrogated her pencil. "I don’t know any ono—but you," said L "Thea smoke," suggested the saucy jiencil over the way. “Nonsense.’’said my pencil. “What are you reading?" “Thomas-a-Kcmpis," responded tho pencil . “And what does he say?" I inquired. “Ho says: ‘For I am better pleased with humility and pa­ tience, and deep contrition of heart in a disconsolate and afflicted state, than with an eager zeal,” replied tho lady, looking down at her book. • "To whom arc his remarks address­ ed?" I ventured. "To young mon," replied she. “But,” objected my pencil, “all tho young men ho spoke to are dead." "Ho also says," went on tho saucy pencil across the way. "For this is wisdom, indeed, when a man is not carried about with every blast of air; but stops his ears against the siren’s charms." “Really," returned I, “I can't quite make this learned gentleman out—nor you either.” “He says further,” continued my roguish one with her eyes demurely fastened on tho book, “my methods and dealings are to be admired and held in reverence, not saucily criticized upon. And what men can not compre­ hend they should not presume to take into examination. ” “Enough," said I, “I am reproved.” "Hush, hush," cried the other pen­ cil. "I hear my aunt coming.” “Why do you not cry anon, good nurse?” I asked, but tho curtains were drawn and 1 was left in desolation. The darkness had fallen early nnd I could sec the lights flame up over tho tho way. It was about ten minutes after this that the yellow curtains were parted again and a roguish face looked out “Are you there still?” tapped tho pencil. “Of course I nm," responded mine with as much sulllness as can bo put into telegraphic taps. "I have found a new passage in A’ Kcmpis’," tapped my lady, sparkling out in a red glow that lit up tho black street. "Here it is. ‘Now that thy applica­ tions arc come up into my ears and thou hast cast thyself upon my mercy, I will revive thy drooping spirits, and thou shalt. after this dark and dismal storm, rejoice again in the light of my countenance. ’" “Angel," I started to signal reck­ lessly, but tho curtains wore drawn again and I camo to tho realization, with a start, that it was time for mo to put on my rubber coat and go down to tho office, which I did. in a spirit much at variance with the gloom of tho even­ ing. After this, never a week passed witboutour having at least two or three little chats, by moans of these wonder­ ful signs, which 1 now appreciated for the first time. Sometimes I would see my lady at her window and would sig­ nal to her. and be met with blank si­ lence. Then I' always knew that some one was present in the room. One day, however, when she had consented to converse. I tapped. "Do you know, I think it is time you let me call on you." “Impossible. My aunt!" protested! my lady. “But I must see you." “And so you do." “I mean I must talk to you." "Perhaps you will tell me what you are doing now?" “I want to hear your voice." "It is frightful” • “1 don’t believe it.” “Why don’t you get an introduc­ tion?" “I don’t know a soul in the city.” “Get acquainted, then.” "With whom?

I refer to Captain Wilmer Brown, who " served with Pelham’s Light Artillerv in , most of the battles in 'which the Army of Northern Virginia •was engaged, and who. was at least once •wounded in its frays. Iu -1839, at the ;age of fourteen. be became a cadet in •the Virginia Military Institute, at Lex­ ington, Va., and was at that institution when the war began. He was among three hundred of these cadets who were _prcrmptly sent to Richmond, where they - were made useful in drilling the new Tegim'ents thatarere pouring into the • Confederate capital in those days. Naturally, these cadets were rapidly -commissioned and assigned to com­ mands in these regiments. They were ; all young, but they had education in the theory of war, and many of them rose to distinction and high command xin tho armies of the Confederacy. Captain Brown's military record was •interesting to me; but not so interest.ing as his accJbnt of General “Stone­ wall” Jackson, who, before the war, -was a professor in the Virginia Military Institute, with the rank of Major. All those connected with the Institute, professors and cadets alike, were in the’ military service of the State of Vir­ ginia by virtue of their position at the institution. Governor John Letcher, who was nt the bead of the Virginia militia at the outbreak of the war, was .-a resident of Lexington, where, by the way, in the summer of 18G4, his house •was burned by the Union General Hunter on account of an inoendiary proclamation found there. U]*ou the passage of the ordinance of secession ■by the Virginia Legislature Governor Letcher telegraphed the news to •Colonel Smith, who was in command of • the Institute at Lexington. Captain Browu described to me the ■ scene that followed. Tlie whole body • of cadets were assembled together and the commandant read the telegram. It was received with uproarions applause. 'The andience ‘was, in fact, a lot of •oager and spirited. boys, just as anx­ ious for fight as everybody was in tho*-days who had not seen any fighting. . and just as certain that the South must prevail as everybody in the South ws. ■ -who had no adequate knowledge of the • power of the Federal Government, the resources of the North, nnd the alnm-bering patriotism of that section, which -was yet to be stirred up to fever-heat. The excitement of the time was so .-great that the cadets releasinl them• selves from the military discipfine of the Institute, and began to call on 'tlie professors for speeches. One after another the professors answered: and -of course their remarks were full of -confidence end brag, nnd greatly in•creased the excitement. Finally the. • cry went round for “Old Jack.” ’ This was the nickuam^ by which the man • was known to the school who was about to achieve the second greatest military reputation of anyone in the Confed- '-eraev. 1 “ ‘But.’ he wentun, ‘we aro citizens of Virginia. Our State has seixxled; and if war comes wo must go with her. But do not think there will be any child’s play aliont this business. It will be a long, costly and bloody struggle. If you go into it, go seriously and prayerfully, not exjiecting n 8]M;etiy result.’ If you draw tlte sword, you must throw away (the scabbard!’ \ “You may imagine bow impressive fhese words were nt that time and place. Coming from such a source, they gave ns our first idea of what the war was likely to l>c. If we did not give them full weight then, we did afterward." The remains of General Jackson are at rest there at Lexington. It is inter­ esting to note, in this connection, that his reluctance to take up the sword against liis country was matched by that of General Lee. The latter held back until the last moment, resigning his commission in the United States army and casting his fortunes with tlie Confederacy only when Virginia, his State, had seceded. While the South was hurried on to war by the mad ap­ peals of men, of whom many never ex]x»sed themselves on the battle-field for the cause they could be so eloquent over, it is interesting, indeed, to note tho reluctance with which the two who became her greatest military chief­ tains took up arms for tho Confed­ eracy. ________ » his arrival; conseip , JMn*.ly elated over my pn friead: ship, ’and said we could of them. 3,000,000 feet of log* on Brush Crock for It happened that the difficulty was — Crim»<. caM**iti*>, the Morn Manufacturing Company. browing, though warm, on a dark, , *»«» Gemund n«w» 5ou«. • rainy and drizzly night, and the place 1 —Thu Th-j Supreme Court has decided in lost both of her eyes'a curious way. of meeting was in a aecludod part of the cue of Henrv Ling, of lion Bivsr, .!«• emp DMT n mud bob.

An Aidtnul That Hua Done GcmmI X'cltoa and Fira Duty tar X*tur». This city boasts of a dog that is a wrest­ ler, a police officer and a fire laddie, whose sagacity and efficiency have made him known throughout this Slate, writes a Now York Bun correspondent from Norwich, Conn. The animal is a big brute of mastiff and setter breed, with glossy black coat. White feet aud white star on tbe breast, and weighs one hundred and fifty pounds. His name isHhot, and he is tbe property of Policemen James Stanley, who patrol* Mam and Water streets st night. Shot al­ ways accompanies the officer on his beat, and when tho ”boys” are painting the town woe betide them If they don’t shy dear of that dog I The nativo “boys” know enough to keep out of harm’s way. But drummers and other foreigners who drift into Ibis •town and go out for a night’s fun are not so. discreet. A few nights ago a drummer for Elliott & Alexander, bool and shoe dealers of Duane street. New York, fell in with Shot on Water street and, offended al the dog's inquisitiveness, tried to lay the ani­ mal out Shot feinted for the drummer’s throat, and then suddenly darted between tbe man’s legs, gave a quick squirm, and down came his man all io a heap. After several more tumbles tho drummer con­ cluded he was overmatched and started to ruu. But ho didn’t run, for the dog got be­ tween his legs again and downed him Tho drummer was urrnigned in tho police court tho next morning as a “drunk-and-disorderly.” His clqjhing was u wreck and ho was all broken up. Beneath tho city at­ torney’s table the dog sat on his haunches, blinking his satisfaction at tho drummer. This wrestling trick of Shot's is an old dodge of his, but he’s so quick in doing it that even tho old rounders always havo to take the tumble In their tussles with him. One of Shot's eyes is blurred—the effect of a dash of ammonia that a drunken drug clerk gave him in a midnight scuffle. Tho dog retaliated by knocking him into the mud and rolling him about till the officer came up. Shot is very popular with tho firemen. When a fire bell rings oflt he goes into a frenzy, and bounds away to the proper en­ gine house aud rushes to the fire ahead of tho engine, clearing the way and barking like mad. On every fire parade be marches in front of tbe police vanguard with most impressive dignity, and when a corner is to be turned, and Shot doesn’t know which way to go, ho glances back at Captain Bowon, who points tho way with his club. On these parades the dog wears a police blue collar, studded with imitation brass buttons and clasped with a nickel shield. During tho Presidential campaign Shot led several political parades. Republican and Democratic alike, but be wJ» howlingly op­ posed to campaign oratory, and-when Hon. Jarnos G. Blaine spoke here in Williams Park Shot howled him into silence twice, and would havs utterly howled him down if two policemen hadn't seized the animal by the collar and escorted him from the park. Shot was originally good looking—a big, sleek fellow, prettily marked and without a defect. But now, besides his blurred eye, bo has behind his ear a small bold spot, where he was shot by a drunken todfeb, and ho also has the long, slender scar of a burn on his left side. His ribs also were once severely wrenched in a tussle with a run­ away tramp. This week he jiarticipaled in a police raid on a houso of cloudy reputa­ tion. The inmates, nnseen by the police, fled to a bar-room half a block away, but Shot tracked them, and the police took them all in. ■ Principal Nabobs of Amerioa and How They Made Their Money.

Hnw Ho Won tho Conldence of an UnsophUUeatod Iowa Landlord. “You had something to say a short time ago about the suspicion with whiclr board­ ing-house keepers regard printers,” said a typo-setter on a morning paper to a Chicago Mall man. “It reminds me of a printer named Jack Robinson I ran across out in Iowa a number of years ago before 1 mar­ ried and settled up. He told mo of an ex­ perience of his which 1 think is unique. He said he arrived in Des Moines one day with a trifle over five dollar* in money about him, and, finding tbe prospect good for work, asked one of tho boys at tho office to direct him to a boardinc-house. He called at tho address furnished, talked with the landlord, selected his room and agreed on terms. Finally the old man asked what his business was. Ho said be was a printer, whereupon the old man. threw up both hands. “ ’That settles it,’ ho said; ’you can't get in this house.' v •“Why not!’ asked Robinson. “ ‘Never mind, you can't got in this house. I wouldn’t have you here under any circum­ stances. Get out’ “ ‘But, here’!’ said Robinson. 'What kind of a deal is this? What have printer* ever done to you that you should treat one of them who is a perfect stranger to you in this sort of stylel’ “•I'll tell you,’ said tho old man. ’A printer camo here, engaged board with me, and skipped at the end of tho first week. That's all. I don’t want any more? •• ‘How much did he owe you?’ ‘“Five dollars? “ ’Well, that's all right; you don't under­ stand. It’s a custom among printers to do that once in awhile, and the next one that happens along squares 1L Here? and ho banded out the five dollars, which the old man accepted gratefully with the moat pro­ fuse apologies for being unocqusinUxl with one of the custom* in voguo among travel­ ing printers. “For the next two week* Robinson paid his board promptly, making fifteen dollar* which he had turned into the old man's cof­ fer*. Tho next week ho went to tbe land­ lord and said : ‘I want to buy some clothes and fix myself up, and I'm just fifteen dol­ lars short. If you'll let me have it I’ll start Jn next week paying it back, and won’t have to buy my stuff piecemeal? “The landlord thought pretty well of him by tnis time and readily loaned him the fif­ teen dollars. Robinson then bought his clothes and other truck and a day or so after he bought a railroad ticket to another town and quietly departed, leaving thia note to hi* landlord: “ 'I'm gone. The next'printcr that come* along will settle. Just Cell him bow much ills. Good-bye? “I reckon that that old man never could be brought to think that there was a printer anywhere alive that was any good.” How Milk BhooJd Be Kept.

Ita Strength in tho Northwest and la tho World. Major WliBtKiorr, tilvlilon Comm»nd»r, Talk* IntarssUngly A bool tbo Methods and Inoroaao in tha Numbor at tho Army —FncU Not Woll Known. Major What more, tho new commander of the Salvation Army, is planning many cam­ paigns, which will probably cover the relig­ ion* soldiers with glory from a Salvation Army point of view. The.Major’s division, say* tho Minneapolis Tribune, Include* Min­ nesota, Wisconsin and the city’ of Chicago, and includes twenty-eight corps, six of which are in Chicago. Tbo Minneapolis corp* is nearly three year* old. commanded by Captain McAlcr, and is said to be one of tbe best in the United States. Concerning the army and the prospects of his division, the Major ssld as follows: The army is eight years old in America, and ia made up of 250 corps. There are thousands of people reached by tho army who are not reached by other methods of Christian endeavor. The principal object ofwearing uniforms is not to signify organ­ ization, but many more opportunities are presented to talk to people concerning re­ ligious matters, as cvci^r one.knows a sol­ dier by the uniform and expects to be ap­ proached upon questions of religion. Nu­ merous cases can bo cited where jicople havo joined In tho procession, altractod by tbe drum and fife, and when the barracks were reached were converted. - We desire to reach the people who do not attend any kind of worship, and we have to adopt meth­ ods accordingly, and tho reason we ore misunderstood is that people look too much at our methods, rather than tho end wo have in view. Thousands of people attend our meetings who never entered a church, and hundreds of them have becu converted. From 20,000 to 30,000 War Cry's are issued weekly, and opportunities are given in selling these for the soldiers to in­ vito people to our meeting*. Our methods are the result of years of experience, and they have been changed as the best inter­ ests of religion demanded. Wo not only convert people, but make It a point to sec they remain good soldiers for life! I find It is a general belief that members of tho artny receive a salary, but they do not; instead, they are expected to giro all they can toward defraying expenses. Tho officers consist of lieutenants, captain* and cadets. A number of corps constitute a district commanded by an adjutant, and a number of district* constitute a division commanded by a major. As you know, our system is military. All American divisions are controlled by tho National head masters in New York. At present Marshal Booth commands the American forcea He receive* as a salary simply the necessities. A major, married, get* *9 per week; captain, *7; lieutenant. (6; cadet, board. Each officer, on receiving his commission, agrees not to ucfept any thing except his specified salary. Esch corps is self-supporting, surviving entirely upon tho money received by col­ lections at the mootings. The hoauquarters in New York uro kept up by the sale of publi­ cations and donations from independent sources. There are 7.000 officers in command in the world. Tho War Cry is printed in 23 differ­ ent languages and our flag float* in 33 dif­ ferent countries. Tbe international head­ quarters are in Loudon, Eng. The army has houses for fallen women, prison gate brigades and food and shelter for the desti­ tute, and tho Australian Government gives *5,000 a year to aid in keeping up three in­ stitutions The army has been under its present name for 11 years; it was previous­ ly known a* tho Christian mission. It is tho strongest and oldest in Great Britain, and is very strong in all Europe except Russia. Everywhere in the Northwest I have found tho work progressing tinely. At St. Peter aud Anoka the opera-house* were crowded when I was there, as was the case in many of the other cities and town*.

The logicians who argue that marriage is a failure, writes a Charleston World cor­ respondent from Versailles, 8. C., can find sturdy refutation here in the shape of Uncle Green Morgan, seventy years of age, who was to-day united in matrimony for the second time to tbe same woman, Aunt Prudence, whose kinky black hair the snows of sixty-eight winters have failed to whiten or straighten, and this, too, after each of the parties had been married to others and had raised families now grown. The story is quite a romance, going bock to ante­ bellum days. In 1838, during slavery, Prudence Mor­ gan, tho wife of Groen Morgan, of this place, was sold as a slave to a Louisiana planter, separated from her slave husband sod taken to u plantation in Louisiana Years rolled on, the war came and ended, slaves were emancipated and jieace came. But Morgan never beard of hi* wife, and Anally gave her up a* dead. He married again and raised a family, now grown. Last year the second Mrs. Morgan died. Uncle Green began sprucing up, and it was whis­ pered in the church that the old man was looking for a third wife. One day about a month ago he received a letter with a Texas postmark. It proved to b<> from his first wife, who was sold thirty years ago us a slave. She was alive and well and wanted to join tbe old man, who, she bad hdrd, was still ahve. She casually’ mentioned that she had married a man named Brown after the war, and they bad emigrated to Texas and raised a family. Brown had diod * few months before and tbe children bad gone into the family business themselves. Morgan at once wrote to Prudence to coms to him, and she arrived hero last week. The meeting of the old people was an affecting one. They started in to live together, but to avoid complication* concluded to have an­ other ceremony performed, and this was lone to-day._________ _________ FRAGMENTS FOR FARMERS. RUMORED OF ROYALTY.

Grace was think­ ing of Lura just now, and wondering if the mystery of her disappearance would never be solved. Tbe'faco reflected in tho glass was pale and thin, not tho one that looked out at her a few weeks before. A alight sound fell on tbe girl's car, the creaking of the door. Grace heeded it not, however, deeming it but the act of a gust of air along tho halt “Grace!" The girl before tho glass started at the sound of a voice pronouncing her name. There was a familiar ring in the voice that carried her back to other days. Tkirnlng quickly she saw a vailed female standing before her. “Will you pennit mo to rest here a mo­ ment!" uttered the stranger. "Rest! I do not understand. Who are you! Surely your voice sounds familiar,” cried Grace, in bewilderment. A low, musical laugh followed from the visitor, a laugh that awakened old echoes in , the heart of Grace Penroy. She stood thrilled, expectant, wildly excited, as a .. Grace Htarlc hand lifted .. the vail. ---------------... d for. .ward with a great cry.

You know, if you have, what a scary feeling shoots all over you; that was just bow I felt when those ruffians lifted me over that abyss. I was too frightened to utter a word—it was tho first instance in my life that I got so far used up as that. Presently I felt myself going down, down, shooting like a roaket through the air; then a bush switched against my face, a terrible scratching on hands snd limbs, then a crash and utter blackness.” Grace Penroy was breathing deeply, her face pale, her great, honest gray eyes dilating with the intensity of feeling aroused by the words of hv cousin. “ Go on, Lura, I am listening," aspirated the hetacsa after a brief moment of silence. “You wish to hear all about it now—you are not too tired!” " No, no, go on; I am dying to hear the whole story of your adventures, dear cousin.” “It seems wonderful, something like a fairy story to mo now,” proceeded Lura, “but 1 have evidence of its utter truthful­ ness.

Ho was kind and atten­ tive, however, ministering to my every want, but 1 had been so rudely, shaken up, it was more than a week before I was able to bo on my feet aud move about. Then I mado an examination of my quarters, to find quite an extensive cave. To me it seemed to have been fashioned by the band of man. Inquiring of the oid man, ho as­ sured mo that his name was Don Benito, »nce a subject of the Doge of'Venice, but now an exile, and'that tho cave had been excavated by men many years before for a hiding-place from tho wrath of the Doge. Of course, I knew that this was but the wild talk of a madman, in whoso power I had fallen after escaping from death at tho hands of trumps, as I then supposed my late assailants to be. “ Of; course I felt uneasy, and was anx­ ious to make my escape, but this I could not do, since Don Benito kept a close watch upon my movements. In my opinion the cave was excavated by horse-thieves or counterfeiters; and I am of the opinion that the present dweller may have been at one time a member of th& band. I mode no such suggestion to him, however. He was constantly harping about his wrongs, and assuring mo that the Doge had attempted to murder him with his own hand. To prove his assertion ho showed me a scar over bis right ear, where tho as assin's blow had been delivered. “ Of course I humored his hallucination, and so wo got ou swimmingly together. Of course ho left the cavo occasionally, and went in quest of provisions for his larder. On these occasions ho locked me in a room opening from tho mam cave, the door of which was made of heavy oak, I presume it had been used as tho prison-room of tho outlaws who once inhabited tbe place. “Itwas not until very recently that I persuaded my keeper to permit mo to ac­ company him on a visit to Stonefield, mado in tbe night and on foot. It was then that I gave him tho slip and managed to keep safely out of his clutches. I have met Austin Wentword since, and learned from him that Don Benito bus been known to hhn for a long time. He considers the old fellow harmless, but decidedly a lunatic." It was a strange story indeed that Lura Joycofold Grace Penroy, under tho glowof tho swinging'iamp in tbo privacy of her own room. It did scorn much tiko a fairy tale, and yet tho presence of Lura was proof that she liad escaped death. L must be true; in fact, Grace never thought to doubt for one moment. “ It is a strange story," breathed Grace, at length. “It seems like a dream to me, and I can not bo too thankful to have you back, alive and well.” “TO you I am alive and wclL to others I must yet be as one dead." said Lura, iu a low, guarded tone, as though she feared the walls might have suddenly acquired the gift of hearing. “ Wby is that!” “That I may the bettor frustrate hit wicked schemes.’’ "To whom do you refer! •’ “Surely you can guess.” dead, but you shall die in another minute.” .

Among\tho communications awaiting action *wns a regimental order from Colonel Peter T. Swain, of the Twentysecond Infantry, stationed at Fort Keogh, commending Private Coyle, Company B, Twenty-second Infantry, for an act of heroism displayed in the Yeltowstone Park recently. Accord­ ing to tbe statement of the commander, Coyle is ono of the detail of solU^crs in tho government park guarding tho 'propertv, .and stationed near Old Faithful Geyser, which is well knjwn to tourists who have inspected the wonders of the Yellowstone. A few days ago a party of ladies from the East were doing the park, and in tbe course of their rambles they 'strolled in'tbe vicinity of the crater of thegoysor and one daring spirit essayed to pene­ trate the mysteries of a spot where fre­ quent but fruitless efforts have been made to lind the bottom. She passed in safety along a narrow ridge/which divides the pool of boil­ ing water, and peered into the danger­ ous crater a few feet distant. Old Faithful geyser derives its name from the fact thnt'cVer^Jifty-iivo minutes there is a discharge from its depths which replenishes the pool near which the venturesome tourist stood. t Pre­ monitory symptoms of an eruption are conveyed by a hissing sound, as of escapiug steam, and tho day in question the tourists had been frequently noti­ fied of the fact. Female curiosity, however, would not be baffled, and tho lady approached nearer to the forbid­ den ground, which is a mere crust of limestone and sulphur formation. Sud­ denly there was the usual sign given by Old Faithful geyser of Ins inten­ tions, and tho lady tourist startled by tho sound, shrieked and fell back into tho pool of water. About ten feet distant tho crater yawned in front of her, aud in her fautic efforts she was rapidly drifting toward tho bottomless Sit. At tho juncture Private Coylo ravoly sprang into tho boiling water to tho rescue of tho unfortunate victim of her curiosity, and unmindful of the fact that ho was being badly scalded, sueceetled in saving tho tourist and himself, but not without terrible re­ sults. It is only about twenty feet across tho pool, and tho water was not more than three feet deep, and in an incredibly short space of time both tho lady and her brave deliverer were terri­ bly- scalded and in a helpless condition. XV hen tho lady fell into tbe pool she mado an attempt to spring forward, and fell upon her faco in tho soothing waters, and her principle injuries were found to be about the head and face, while her clothing had protected other portions of her body. A few seconds and all would hnro been over with her, for in her struggles shu had approached the brink of the crater, and as she grabbed with her bands a*t the appar'ent rocky formation, it crumbled like powder. Luckily, Coyle knew the dangerous character of the surround­ ings of the pool, and amid tho plaudits of a few spectators bo carefully re­ traced bis steps along the narrow path­ way to firm ground and sank uncon­ scious beside the senseless form of the rescued woman. At regimental parade that afternoon the heroism of the brave follow who had dared so much in be­ half of a woman was fittingly com­ mended, and a story of tho affair seut to General Huger, who will transmit the details to tho Secretary of War. It is proposed by friends of tho lady that an appropriate reward shall be mado for the services of Private Coyle, and it has been suggested that a Lieutenant’s commission would not be too great a recompense for his self-sac­ rificing performance. —St Paul Olobc. iu religious contemporary which points out that pugilists are “almost exclusively men who are without any religious instinct” forgets that they are all devoted musclemen.

' Yet bow many are dishonest through ignorance, expediency or intentionally. ■One can be dishonest andjet say noth- A clerk who lets a ’customer buy a •damaged piece of goods, a witness who iiolda back the truth which would clear a prisouer, a medical practicioner who takes his pa'ients’ money when he fcnows he ia doing himjno good, -all are culpably dishonest. . Speaking of tbe dishonesty of medi­ cal men reminds us that only the past week there liiut come under our person-al obeervation a form of dishonesty which ia almost too mean for narration. It is generally known that doctors ■bintLtliemselvea by codes, resolutions and oaths not to use any advertised medicines. Now, there ia a medicine ■on the market, which, for the past ten years, has accomplished a marvelous amount of good in the cure of Kidney and Li ver diseases, and diseases arising from the derangement of these great organa,—wo refer to Warner’s Safe Cure. So wide-spread are tbe merits of this medicine that tbe majority of the doctors of thia country know from actual evidence that it will cure Ad­ vanced Kidney Disease, which is but another name for Bright’s Disease. The medical profession have put themselves od record as admitting that there ia no cure for this terrible niala■dy. yet there are physicians base ■enough aud dishonest enough to pro­ care Warner's Safe Cure in a surrep­ titious manner, nut the same into plain, four-ounce vials, jind charge their pa­ tients $2.00 per vial, when a sixteen•ounce bottle of the remedy, in its orig­ inal package, can bo bought at any drugstore in the world for Perhaps "the doctor argues that the cure of the patient justifies bis dishon­ esty, yet ho'will boldly stand up in the county medical meeting and denouncer • Warner’s Safe Cure as a patent medi­ cine, aud one which we cannot and wiil not use them. * The fact is time the people are wak­ ing up to tho truth that tbe medical ■profession is far from honest, and that st does not possess a monopoly of wis­ dom in the curing of disease, doctoring the many symptoms of kidney disease instead of striking at tho seat of dis­ ease—the kidneys themselves,—allow­ ing patients to die rather than than use * remedy krifftvn to be a specific, sim­ ply because it has been advertised, and when patients are dead from Advanced Kidney Disease*, still practicing decep­ tion by giving tho catiso of death in their certificate as pneumonia, dropsy, heart disease or somo other accom­ panying eff-ct of Bright’s disease. All this is prima facio evidence of incompetency bigotry and dishonesty. Wo speak but rhe truth when we say that Messrs tII. H. Warner & Co. have •done a meat philanthropic work for tbe past ten years in educating the people up to Uie knowledge they now enjoy, especially of maladies growing out of diseases of the Kidneys and Liver, and are deserving of al! praise, for their honesty and straightforwardaess in exposing shams and dishonesty of all kinds. An old man was arrested on Cham­ plain street the other day for kicking up a disturbance, and on tbe way to tbe station he said to the officer: "I don't want to bo locked op, and Fl I give you ten cents to let me gu.” "No, sir—no, sir I” "I’ll make it twenty.” "No, sir!” "Say twenty-five,” "No, sir—not for fifty.” "What! Fifty cents! Say, this must be a mighty serious matter, old fellow. Bet you three to one you think you have got tbe fellow who stole Charlie Rosa!—Free Press. bis essays, has pointed out that, while in some respects Americans are a great deal "newer” than ourselves, in spme others they are considerably older. Much that has died out of our politierf, our societies, our habits and customs, stiff survives in the States. So it is with the language. As every investi­ gator-known, much of it is not now En­ glish at all, but genuine old English. Oid provincial forms, old local words, old dialectical peculiarities, which have become obsolete or more vul­ garisms with us, have kept their freshness in the New England States, and thence have spread over tbo conti­ nent—to spread iu time over the world. A good deal of what we regard as Yan­ kee vulgarism i? good, honest AngloSaxon that was current in conversa­ tion and books for centuries before tho Mayflower sighted Plymouth rock. Tho perpetual “I guess” of the New En­ glander is a case in point "Full twenty year he was of ago, I guess,” says Chaucer, concerning the "yonge squyro’^of the Canterbury pilgrimage. Hosea Biglow would hardly have used the phrase differently. Similarly such words as "peart” and "brash” and •■slick" and even "squirm,” which strike us as specially racy of the States, are used to this day in tho common speech of the common people in north­ ern and eastern England. Ill the works of that eminent philologist Sam Slick one may find mention of a person be­ ing “smoked”—that la, made a butt of —just us in Smollett and Fielding it nd others of our last century novelists. An American will use "sick” or "mad" just as their forefathers would have done in places where we should em­ ploy 'ill” and "angry.” We owe our cousins a certain nmount of gratitude for recJothing with con­ versational respectability many of the highly-conveuient words which had somehow dropped out and been re­ placed by much less direct and much less expressive substitutes. Whether we need be .so much obliged to them for the odds and ends which they have picked up everywhere and put into current circulation is more questiona­ ble. For the American is the most lar­ cenous of linguists. He has "been at a feast of languages and stolen the scraps.” Tho slang of tho Chicago or San Francisco loafer has levied con­ tributions on hslf the Aryan and two or three of the non Aryan tongues. All the elements that go to make up the cosmopolitan population of the union have contributed something to tho medley. There is a little French, a good deal of “Dutch,” a fair quantity of Spanish, a sprinkling of Scandinav­ ian, Italian, a hint nt Chinese, aud something more than a perceptible dash of the tongue of tho red mau. It is altogether a strange amalgam, this American language—not unlike tho equally remarkable mixture out of v. aich in due courso tho American peo­ ple is to bo evolved. But nt present both tbe people and the language are in tho process of making, and it is pretty certain that they will exhibit more remarkable developments still bofore tbo manufacture is completed.— Loudon Telegraph.

Tho genius of hard work, of earnest, diligent. Intelligent effort, is the key to success in whatever direction such effort may be employed, and ho who bears off the palm to-day is entitled to Lt as a prize well and deservedly won. In tho so-called darker ages, when education was restricted to the favored few. and tho many were but considered as tiie natural servitors of the former, tho favored ones found it easy sailing for honors on the sea of intellectual ef­ fort. The polished crystal may outvie the diamond when tho latter ia in its crude, rough state, its lustre hidden by Its earthy incrustations; but the lapid­ ary comes to the aid of the real gem, and lo! tho crystal is ignominiously Kt in the shade. And so it was with self-conscious crystal of the privi­ leged classes; it shone because that which could eclipse it waa kept away from the light Not but these same privileged classes gave us some won­ drous example* whose fame is honored to-day; but thoy were not called upon for tho exertion of their great gifts to the fullest extonL The path of prefer­ ment waa a rosy one, and the competi­ tors for the prize few in number. Occa­ sionally somo diamond blazed out among the "common herd,” startling his generation with wondor, and leav­ ing tho impress of a name that is im­ perishable. but this was necessarily rare. Tho masses were handicapped by their burdens; and so the few. in tho main, divided the honors easily. Life was a holiday race to thorn, and work was not to be mentioned in their presence. At last that great discoverer of human diamonds, that intellectual lapidary, the schoolmaster, went about removing tho -incrustation of ignor­ ance; and lo! the light of popular edu­ cation revealed the glory of earth's hidden treasures. The honors of life were not henceforth to be confined to tho few, but became prizes for tho com­ petition of tho many, and civilization mado such a move forward in a few years as it had not hitherto accom­ plished in as many centuries. We have but to look at the progress of tho present century, its record ot discovery in every field, the manner in which it has revolutionized the world's affairs tor the world's good, to see what human effort, unhampered by unnat­ ural restrictions, has produced. That which has already been accomplished is but an earnest of what is to follow. Mau stands or fulls to-day, as he him­ self prefers. The world is all before him, its avenues for the employment of his powers are all open to him and nothing but his own incompetency, his own lack of wisdom, energy and In­ tegrity* can prevent his rounding out his life to that completeness, to that point of usefulness and honor, for which ho has been equipped by the Creator. It is a practical age. The senti­ mental glamor of birth and descent is little aid to tho former or little loss Co tho one who has not been cradled in its effulgence. The age demands a practical demonstration of human powers and human energies, and upon tho thoroughness with which personal worth is so demonstrated depends tho measure of success it proposes to ac­ cord. In whatever honorable direction man'll energies are to-day employed, ho finds "a fair field and no favor,” and his success or failure depends up­ on himself.—Boston Budget AN ALIENIST'S FEE. Dr. Forbes Winslow, the late wellknown "alienist,” was some years ago summoned by telegraph to pronounce professionally ou n suspected lunatic at Manchester. After traveling all night he arrived very tired, and waa surprised to find no one to meet him at the station. Hailing a cab he hurried to tho address mentioned in the tele­ gram, stopping the cabman twice on the way to inquire, "Are you sure this is right?” as .he noticed the neighbor­ hood was deplorably humble. Hoping, however, for better things, his thoughts were arrested by the cab pulling up at a small shop, over which were tho words "Builder and Contractor." "How thrifty, nay. bow almost parsimonious, are these Manchester contractors!" thought the distinguished Doctor, as he was deferentially received by an elderly "Manchester mon.” He saw the patient, the builder’s wife, certi­ fied that she was a lunatic and was conducted into the shop, where a guinea was banded to him from th* till. "Mydearslr, I want my fee," gasped Dr. Winslow. -When I wrote you six months ago, sir, you answered your fee were a guinea," was the Lancasterian’s argument "What,” said Dr. Wins­ low, "from London to Manchester?” It’s cost me £5 to get here." "You told me your foe were a guinea; the missus is worth no more, and I ha’n’t got it4’. Forbes Winslow pocketed tbe guinea, and turning to his Impecunious patient, said: "My good man your ‘missus’ is a harmless lunatic, you are a danger­ ous one!" and he galloped off to the station and shook the coal dust of Man­ chester from his patent leathers. — [Pall Mall Gazette. —A telegraph operator in Minne­ apolis has invented a word-counting machine, which may be used by itself or attached to a type-writer.

It ia found in practice that the higher tho insulation tba eaalcr it is to maintain oieotrie-light circuits in running order. Ax iron drawbridge at Bridgeport, Conn., will be turned by electricity, aud is be­ lieved to be tho first of its kind in tho country. An exceedingly sensitive electric bell has lately been introduced which will ring through a quarter of a-milo of wire when only one Lcclanchc cell is used. It was stated at a recent meeting of tbo British Association that the persons de­ pendent upon the use of electricity ndw number no fewer than live millions. It has been discovered that a current of electricity passed through impure-water restores to purity by destroying any living germs with which it may be impregnated. Ln the lighting of the American section of the Paris Exposition the . Heisler Company propose Inserting ten miles of circuit wire to indicate the practicability of carrying tbe current to any desired distance. It is claimed that cable telegraphy is still open to improvement in more than one di­ rection, and that th6 matter of tho best type of cable to be used is far from being settled. The pnze offered by the French Academy of Sciences for u paper on the transmission of power by electricity has been with­ drawn, no paper of sufficient- merit having been received. Scarcely a week passes without some fresh practical application of the principles of electricity, and wo seem to be only on tbe shore of that sea of economy and be­ neficence which expands with every new discovery of the properties of electricity and spreads already beyond the mental grasp of any one single worker.

The celebration consisted of a street parade, a meeting at the Detroit Rink, and a ball at tbo same place. It vru* just seventy year* ago, in the elty of Baltimore, that Thoma* Wildey bounded the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. The lodge thu* farmed still flourishes in Baltimore, being known a* Wmhington Lodge No 1. The order-of Odd Fellow* i* supposed to date back to that time “whereof tho memory of man runneth not to the contrary." There were several union* in England at tbe time Wildey founded the I.O.O. F. in this country. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows is in reality a seceding body. The anti-Briti*h feeling was then strong, and the secession wa* probably largely caused by it Since 1819 the L O. 0. F. ho* steadily increased until it now numbers over half a million people in this country. The anniversary wo* celebrated in every city of the Union. Some 600 or 700 Odd Fellow* paraded in Detroit. Tho procession consisted of twelve lodges, four encampments, and tho Detroit Canton, which is the only uniformed body in tbe order. Hudson’s band split up into two section*, so th st both end* of the procession coaid have Bowe music by which to march. The pai-adc waa a long and imposing one. The officers of tbo grand lodges and those who were to speak at the meeting occu­ pied the carriages that brought up tbo roar. They wore as follow*: P. G. M. Gon. Oscar A. Janes, of Hillsdale; P. G. M. Mcllvee, P. G. M. Jones, of Minne­ sota; F. G. M.N. H. Martin, of Chatham, Ont.; Past Grand A. W. Brooks, Mnj. James Deen, Post Grand Herman Lippold, Hon. C. J. Reilly, D. 8. Freeman, George McAllister. Past Grand C. P. Collins, and Grand Walter Beckwith. Following is a list of lodges and en­ campments in the procession: Olive Branch No. 38, Western No. 370, Michi­ gan Encampment No. 1, aColnmbns No. 215, Riverside No. 303, Detroit No. 128, Wayne No. 2, Michigan No. 1, Washing­ ton No. 54, Amity No. 333, German En­ campment No. 45, First French Lodge of the Wert No. 147, Eastern No. 837, In­ gersoll Encampment No. 29, Bide* No. 155. At the rink a large American flag was suspended overhead. Arrranged after the manner of footlights on the front edge of the platform were nineteen circular shield* bearing the name* of tho twelve lodge*, four encampments, the two lodges of the Daughter* of Rebecca and the Detroit Cautou., The gallery front wa* deeorated with small flag* and shield* of stare and strip* and emblem* of the Order of Odd Fellows. At the conclusion of the overture Hon. C. J. Reilly delivered <ho address of welcome. He alluded hbriefly to the early history- and struggle* of thu order in Michigan? “The princi­ ples of the order," said Judge Reilly, "are such as upbuild the character of a mau.” Judge Reilly, who acted a* Chair­ man of the meeting, then introduced F. G. M. Gen. Oscar A. Janos, of Hillsdale. Gen. Jane* said that he wa* pleased to bo with tho Odd Fellows on such an occa­ sion. “We foil proud of the order be­ cause of it* rapid growth," said Mr. Janes. “It numbers over 550.000 in this country and 100,000 in Europe. He who enter* our rank* becomes virtually a shareholder with ns. In-^he dark hour of gloom iLe honest grip of an Odd Fel­ low will cheer the heart. The sentiment upon which Odd Fellowship rests is the principle of the brotherhood. ’ After tho band had played “Hail Columbia" in pa­ triotic fashion. Judge Reilly introduced the next *peaker, P. G. M. S. T, Jones, of Minnesota. Mr. Jones filled the place of Judge Gartner, whose name appeared on the programme, but who was unable to leave hi* court. Mr. Jones said: “Ono thing that Odd Fellowship has failed to do' in the la*t seventy year* is to die. It ha* failed to let a brother go un­ cared for. It has failed to let a broth­ er go unburied or a widow uneared for. I am glad to belong to an organization that hM bo many failures. I tali you, brethren, I am chuck full of Odd Fellow­ ship. If any of you ever eomo to Min­ nesota we'll extend io you a warm wel­ come ia St. Paul." P. G. M. Rer. N. H, Martin, of Chatham, Ont., was then in­ troduced by the chairman. Rev. Mr. Martin said that that son of the Emerald Isle probably spoke the truth when he remarked th:d Adam won a "t-carlet" mem­ ber of the Odd Fellow*, and Eve a Daugh­ ter of Rebekah (laughter). Mr. Martin alluded to tha founding of the order by Wildey in Baltimore seventy year* ago. He also briefly pointed out some of the strong points of Odd Fellowship, ‘its age was one of it* principal strong point*. "Another thing I like about this society," aaid Bev. Mr. Martin, “ia that it does •omathing for a man while be ia alive. ! If you have a kind word or a kind dood the ball.

Brae’*. �...A-V VOLUNTARY BONDAGE. ard lamp of wrought iron- The condition uf wompi in tbe United States to-day is in striking contrast to that of by-gone oenturies. or, indeed, to , that of women, in Eastern countries at the present time. American women, for the moat part, can do pretty much as they please. If they fail to enjoy privileges; it is because they choose not to take them. The flower of Amer­ ican manhood is tbe embodiment of a perfected chivalry. The American nnu, as a general thing, is trained to yield to the wish of woman. Neverthe­ less, women are content to remain in a certain degree of bondage, a voluntary bondage in which are found some of the most powerful cia^acs of delicacy and lack of physical force which has ted one of thefor^uost novel writers of the day to speak of “that state of permanent disrepair into which sooner or later every American woman falls/’ The voluntary bondage of women is direefold—political, intellectual and so­ cial Women are awakening’ to the fact that. hey have permitted their intellectual .'acuities to lie dormant and have willingy remained in intellectual bondage. It is only about twenty years since the Irst woman’s college appeared in tho .and. As a gauge of the difference bo.ween feminine and masculine mental ‘raining, contrast tho hundreds and 'housands of young men who go to col.ege to tho one young woman. The -on of tho family goes to college as a •natter of course: tho young woman of the family after great discussion and -consultation. How much oftener is she ■tent to some Inferior school, where in­ dead of a broad, thorough collegiate • raining, she is' content with a smatter­ ing of many things and a general tinish Ing-off process. Many young women of tho present day, after leaving school, 'glean a sort of aftermath of information and culture which stands them in good stead; but the reason we have not -Siiakcsjxjares, Bacons, Humes -and Carlyles among women is, not because they have not ’intellectual caliber, but because wonen, having held in domestic bondagb, which is now in a measure cast off,voluntarily remain in somewhat he same condition. Wo most firmly believe that the body Is oil the more ~ound and healthy if it is the abode of a tound mind, and that much of the non-adjustment of physical force found in our homes, especially among the daughters, is due to the ffet that the powers of their minds are not properly developed and trained. A strong wilt an absorb­ ing purpose, a high literary or artistic pursuit; exalt the spiriL and listleesnoss dyspepsia, imperfect circulation, which breed hysteria, melancholy and hypo­ chondria, pass into oblivion in conse­ quence. The iron rule of custom and tradition governs women. It is simply amazing to think of the submission and defer­ ence which all women pay to Mrs. Grnndy. It would not so greatly mat­ ter if women were not so physically crippled by iL Let us take a hasty re­ view ot the voluntary social bondage to which all women bow in a cheerful, glad submission, and note its relation to health. Let us first take the matter of etiquette, it must be remembered that there are two kinds of etiquette—that founded upon the golden rule of “Do unto others as you would have them do to you”—the sweetest, most perfect blos­ som of u Christian civilization —and that which is the dictate of a punctilious and overwrought ceremony. It is the broadening of the phylacteries which tells upon the physical strength of wo­ men. Take the matter of ceremonious ■alls, of dinner-giving, of formal festiv­ ities. The truth of it is, the men, in the rush and hurry of business and money-getting, have thrown the for­ malities upon women, and they have to io a tedious, thankless, joyless task. Fhe visiting list of many ladies, con■ isting, as it often does, of several hunired names, consumes time. thoughL -trength. without any adeqnte recom­ pense. How few of the dear four hun­ dred are wot th the trouble bestowed upon them! Why can not all this be Amplified? The universal 5mstom of women to remain within four walls after dark un­ less they have a masculine escort—the bondage that this is to women who are leprived of ‘•natural protectors” only women' know. They fail to go to places of amusements, of instruction, yt social and religious enjoymenL in­ numerable times because uf lack of initabte escort It is all a matter of custom- The electric lights render the streets of cities and towns as light as .Jay. If all women went out in the evening just n» in tbe day, as they well might do, they would make on innova­ tion which would show another step in the direcUon of freedom and ndvanoomer.L; and It would not be lung before It would seem os strange to think of tho present opinions with reforcuce to wo­ men venturing forth alone after dark as it seems to American women to think of the women in the East who never appeared un vailed in the street It is not the custom for women to take physical exercise as men do. fhere is a beginning awakening In this respect, but muscle reeeivM by no ricans the earn j worship- biceps. his aid, vexed with herself at having so little muscular ability. Putting forth all her strength, she at length brought the lamp to -the ■ .. _ desired . • I’Osition. “ Every day she carried the . . lamp from one place to another, as the occasion arose for 1L and in five days she found she could easily carry the lamp in one hand. and. if she wished, hold it at arm's length. Her muscles wore ready to respond to oven an irregular effort to educate them. How few women can open a car window! Th© frantic, futile, puny striving avails nothing, except to enlist a man’s sympathy and muscle in the contest The popular notion which as­ signs all the physical strength to the man, and expects next to none of the woman, does the latter a great physical injustice. It is exercise which is need­ ed to secure proper circulation, proper nutrition, and consequent building up of tissues which are the component parti of a healthy body. These uro only a few of the direc­ tions in which, through etiquette, wo­ men are socially in a voluntary bond­ age.’’—Grace Peckham, M. D., in Chris­ tian Union. A Radical Change. In a recent address before a St Louis audience, Susan B. Anthony argued that the female suffragists were not striving to establish any new principle! of government but that they were merely endeavoring to emphasize a principle as old os government itself— the right of every citizen to a voice in the governmenL This right was em­ bodied in tho Constitution, but by rea­ son of tho false construction put upon that instrument by the Supremo Court at Washington, the women were compell­ ed to ask for a right to which they were fully entitled in all fairness aud justice. Such women as Hannah Corbin, Mary Otis Warren and Ablgal Adams had keenly felt tho injustice done their sex ip denying them tho right of the bal­ loL and their names stood upon the pages of history as having protested against this crying wrong. The women of New Jersey were the first to vote, and they participatodfin the election of Wash­ ington, Jefferson and Adams, but in 1807 this right was denied them. In 1840 the constitution of that State waf amended by the insertion of that beautiful little word “male”, in thcsuffrago clause. Every st?p of the way had been contested inch by inch, and os late as 1840 women were denied tho right to speak in public. At the great anti-slavery convention held Id Itopdon in that year, the question o! admitting the female delegates from America was discussed for three days, and at the end of that time was nega­ tived by a large majority. Not only were they not allowed to give expres­ sion to their thoughts and opinions in public, but were practically debarred from employment in the many trades and professions by which un honest livelihood might bo obtained. “All this, however.” said she.

The only trouble is that they are generally paid smaller wages nnd given inferior positions, no matter what their capabilities.” mind and sedate in manner, whoee plain dress exactly represented her de­ sire to be inconspicuous, to do good, to improve every day of her life in actions that should benefit her kind. She was a serious person, inclined to Improving conversation, to the read­ ing of bound books that cost at least a dollar and a half (fifteen cento of which she gladly contributed to tho auther), and she -had a distaste for the gay society which was mainly a flutter of ribbons and talk and pretty faces; and when she meditated, as she did in her spare moments, her heart was sore over the frivolity of life and the emptiness of fashion. She' longed to make the world better, and without any prigglshneas sho set it an example of simplicity and sobriety, ot cheerful acquiescence in plainness and incon­ spicuousness. One day—It wan in tho autumn— this lady had occasion to buy a nedr hat. From a gneat number offered her she selected a red one with a dull red plumb. It did not agree with the rest of her apparel; ft did not fit her apparent character. What impulse led to this selection she could not explain. She was not tired of being good, but something in the jauntiness of tho hat and the color pleased her. If it were a temptation, ahe did not intend to yield to iL but she thought sho would take the hat home and try IL Perhaps her "nature felt the need of a little warmth. The hat pleased her still more when she got it home and put it on and surveyed herself in the mirror. Indeed, there was a new expression in her face tha£ corresponded to the hat. She put it off and lookpd at 1L There was some­ thing almost humanly winning and temptations in iL In short, she kept it, and when she wore it abroad she was not conscious of its incongruity to herself or to her dress, but ot tho in­ congruity of the rest of her apparel to the hat which seemed to have a sort of intelligence of its own, at least a power of changing and conforming things to itself. By degrees one article after another in the lady’s wardrobe was laid aside, and another substituted tor it that answered to the demanding spirit of the hat In a little while this plain lady was not plain any more, but most gorgeously dressed, and possessed Si th the desire to be in the height of tjie ishion. It came to this, that she had a tea gown made out of a window-enrtain with a flamboyant pattern. Solomon in all his glory would have been ashamed of himself in her pres­ ence. . But this was not alt Her disposi­ tion. her ideas, her whole life, were changed. She read nothing but stories in paper covers. In place of being sedate and sober-minded, she was frivolous to excess; she spent most of her time with women who liked to ••frivol.” She kept Lent in the most expensive way, so as to make the Im­ pression upon everybody that she was better than the extremest kind of LenL From liking the sedatest company she passed to liking the gayest society and the most fashionable method of get­ ting rid of her time. Nothing what­ ever bad happened to her. and she is now an ornament to society.—Charles Dudley Warner, in Harper's Magazine. SLIDING IN EARNEST. IN WOMAN'S WORLD. !

In 1882 there was a spot which was visible to the naked eye— through a smoked glass-and big enough, almost, to have held all the planets and their satellites ; now it is only here and there a little fleck, dis­ coverable by telescopes of power that reveals the fact of disturbances iu the inner regions of our celestial light­ giver. It is a curious fact, which has been noticed by a few eminent scientific ob­ servers, but is not generally known, that at the time of maximum spotted­ ness of the sun tho trousers of male persons who have a proper regard forthe fashion of their garments are as tight as it is possible for trousers to be. Conversely, when, as is now tbe case, there are no spots to speak of on tbe sun, the trousers worn by fashion’s ex­ emplars are wide and flowing in their outlines. In 1882, if the reader can remember styles so far back, the fash­ ion for trousers was very tight, and so it was in 1870-71. At just these periods the sun-spots were at their height of activity, great magnetic storms pre­ vailed, and the aurora borealis was flamboyant in the heavens. Similarly 1887 was a period of great size in trous­ ers, just as tbe season of 1888-89 has has been. As the sun spots grow more frequent and increase in size the trous­ ers will shrink, until, in 1894 95, the spots will be at their maximum and the trousers at their minimum. What the reason for this strange connection between limbs of the sun and limbs bf men may be we do not undertake to say. We leave that to the scientific men. But a aerie® of ob­ servation extending over many years amply establishes the fact®. Scientific, men cannot explain what the connec tion is between the sun spots, magnet­ ic storms aud the aurora borealis ; but they assume because these things occur with the greatest frequency about the same period that a casual connection doe® exist between them. Is it not just as reasonable to suppose that such a connection exist® also between BUD spots and tight trouser®. "Madam,” said the young man.

Notwithstanding ti ©'enormous for­ tunes accumulated through the use of printer’s ink, large muih of money, are annually wasted in ineffectual and nn■remanerative advertising. Tbe merits of a really valuable com­ modity properly portrayed in the col . umns of an influential aud widely read newspaper, like the Nashville News, will speedily become generally known and appreciated, while tbe .return* reaped bv the advertiser will be like xthoaeof the wise husbandman who “planted his seed in good ground, wherein it boro fruit aud brought forth some an hundred fold, some sixty, tome thirty.” . The wording of an advertisement is an all-important mutter. Clearness, attractiveness, brevity aud sincerity; must characterize any aunuuvceitieut intended to cutch the pub­ lic rye and appeal to too public confi­ dence. An advertisement inserted in a London journal a few days ago brought instant and multitudinous re­ plies accompanied by an unlimited supply of bank notes, simply because it touched the chord of nature which makes all mankind akin. Its simple pathos and self-evident truthfulness appealed to every heart. The advertiser sought for a lost rela­ tive, and, giving his name said: *T am ill aud friendless. My last half crown is expended in paying for this adver­ tisement. Write mo at”—(giving the address). As already stated nearly everyone who read tho announcement hastened to relieve the necessities of toe sufferer—a real sufferer iu thia case, though many swindles are perpetrated iu the divine name of charity. Thus it is with areally meritorious commodity or preparation; if its vir­ tues be properly and truthfully set forth in toe public press, its success is prompt nnd certain. On the other hand, the public is quick*and unerring to detect deception and cbarlantry; and, accordingly, no amount of “puffery” will force a vile nostrum into public esteem and patron­ age. Untold sums have been sunk in vain efforts to advertise into popularity so called medical preparations which do uot DosseM the virtues or properties claimed for them. . Valuable medicines, however, like Warner’s Safe Cure and Warner’s Log Cabin Sarsaparilla, carry their own commendation in tneir power to cure the particular diseases for which they are a specific. They require no labored panegyric to convince tue people of their power and efficacy, for they have been tried and found perfect. Nature’s remedies, by their own in­ trinsic merits have conferred a lasting boon upon mankind, and they have secured an enviable reputation and unlimited sale tbrcpghotit the civilized world. __________ Turing tho rebellion I was living In Scotland County, Mo. In July. 'fil. there were more bush whackers in Scot­ land and adjoining counties than Unlou men. These bushwhackers were a class of men too cowardly to go into the main army and had formed thctaselves 'into camo leaving homo and about nine miles on my way, I met fifteen men. each having a gun and a long rusty knife. They shot <ne down, took my horse and watch, and I have often wondered that they did not tako my pocket-book as they jought _ .......... "_i. m 11 to . have . known that preachers always carry a large amount of money. They took me back three ’miles to Memphis; the county seat of Scotland County, and delivered me to Colonel Green, who was in Memphis with 1,500 men on their way to Athens, in Clarke County, Mo., where they had a battle and were repulsed with considerable loss. After these scrubby bushwhackers turned me over into the hands of Green, they returned to their pandemonium in the dark recctwes of tho woods. I was taken to the second floor and placed upon a bed in a rebel’s hotel. One of the officers said to me: “There is one of two things which must be done and that without delay, for we have no time to tarry here. You must either take the oath to support tbe Southern Confederacy and give no aid or comfort to Federal soldiers, or you must die hero and now.” Draw up the instru­ ment and let me see what it Is.” I looked at it for a moment and remem­ bering that my eldest son and neigh­ bors were in the Federal army, I said, “Gentlemen, you have me in your power, you may tako this head from this body If it is your pleasure to do so, but you can not get my name to that instrument of writing." This caused much agitation and confusion among them. Some were In favor of shooting me dead, others for hanging, but after much disputing and consultation, they took a vote, the majority were in favor of releasing mo, which they did.—Rev. A.

They would secret them­ selves in the thick brush or in deep ra­ vines, and like wolves, from their dens, would come out from tbeir hiding places at a late hour in the night and seek ths residences of Union men. If they found the mnn of the house nt home, they would put a rope around his neck, drag him from hi* bed across tho floor and out of the-door and bang him to a limb or the most convenient place.

A great investigation; of no less than secondary importance to tho ori­ ginal discovery, lies before tho bac­ teriologist, to ascertain the truth about these complications, and to dis­ cover means of excluding them in in­ oculations. This work has been com­ menced under the Belgium Govern­ ment, which has ordered that tho ani­ mals from which vaccine has been obtainc shall be killed and carefully ex­ amined for other germs of disease be­ fore using the vaccine. So much, at least ought to be done universally and at once. There is not doubt whatever that consumption, as well as other diseases, is caused largely by the meat and milk of Infected animals. The bacilli appear to be extensively trans­ mitted from animal to animal by the habit of licking each other's noses, the discharges being doubtless heavily loaded with the germ.—Sanitary Era. A PORCINE PARADOX. Tho strange story which floats in from Freehold, N. J., concerning the learned pig whose iatelligence so whptted tho curiosity of the Free­ holders that they killed him in order to analyze his “thinker," is a chal­ lenge to scientists and psychologists. The porcine brain cavity was empty. “Timo was that when the brains were out, tho man would die,” observed the immortal William. But now it appear»^-that'is, if the Freehold story be a true one—that when the brains are out the pig may live, and not only live but exhibit so many fine intel­ lectual qualities as to endear himself to a wide circle of distinguished and admiring humans. It is, indeed, somewhat difficult to believe the rela­ tion; for if the Freehold pig was ut­ terly brainless, how did his sensimotor functions operate, to say noth­ ing of his other cerebral arrange­ ments. It is to be feared that the Freehold pig has no concrete exist­ ence, and never had; that he is the in­ vention—tho idea, so to say—of some New Jersey mind yearning for proof of the possibility of existence without brains. And what a soaring ambition is here, when one comes to reflect upon IL Science of the materialist order is assailed with a dreadful shock by the Freehold pig, and the evolu­ tionary theory is wrecked upon this For what become* of all the discus­ sions aboutAhe transformation of phos­ phorus into thought, about the in­ creasing perplexity of the brain con­ volutions with the progress of intelli­ gence, about the correspondence be­ tween cerebral organs and mental conditions, if a learned pig can estab­ lish his reputation upon an empty cranium? It Is a revolution and noth­ ing less; for be it observed that the mental eminence of the Freehold pig was conditional upon his entire free­ dom from brains; and if a pig can dis­ tinguish himself under tRpse circum­ stances, why not a man, or any num­ ber of men? It is sometimes said of an erratic genius that ho has “too much brains.” Hereafter it may have to be predicated of great men that they have no brains at all, and persons like Daniel Webster, who carry fiftyfour ounces of cerebral substance, will be viewed with suspicion, if not cata­ logued at once as lunatics. Tbe op­ portunity is to tbe dudes, in short. The ranks of the nuinber six heads are led by the phantom of the Free­ hold pig. and the procession is im­ mense. All it waits for at present Is a little more definite information con­ cerning the initial facts.—N. Y. Trib­ une. It always pays to hold on to a good thing. People who have tried Santa Claus Soap hold on to it because it is good. Some may think that because there are other Soaps that give more in bulk for the money, that they are cheaper; but such bulk is made up with rosin. When quality is sacri­ ficed for quantity, such soap is not cheap at any price. Santa Claus Soap is the best, and is sold by all grocers. It is made only by N. K. FAIRBANK & CO., Chicago, IU.

This was in the latter part of tho sixteenth century. It Is supposed that the word was at that time in familiar use tn London, having been brought in by tho North German merchants, who managed tho trade on tho Baltic and in Russia. The modes of execution for capital crimes vary in different countries. In the United States the method ia hanging, ex­ cept in tbe State of New York, where elec­ tricity haa lately been adopted. Hanging ia also excluiivcly employed in Austria, Great Britain, tho Netherlands and Portugal. In Russia, shooting, hanging or beheading ia resorted to, while in Bavaria, Belgium, France,-Denmark. Hanover and Saxony the guillotine is the cboaon implement. In the majority of foreign countries the executions arc held In public, while in this country they are mostly private. The earliest celebration of Washington’s birthday found on record occurred in Rich­ mond, Va., February 11 (old style), 1782. The day waa celebrated in New York in 1784, and, from that time until 17V3, the 11th of February was selected. In the latter year the day was changed to the 23d, to adapt it to the new style. During tbo first term of the Presidency of Waahfngton hi* birthday wa* celebrated by visita ot con­ gratulation, and by bolls, parties and other, festivities, not only in Philadelphia, but in many of the principal cities and towns in the Union, notwithstanding the fact that quite a number of carpers were alarmed by what they considered a "step in the diroo­ tion of monarchy.” THINGS OF THE PAST. » All night long tbeir neu they threw For tbo fl»h la the twinkling foam; t Gerbert, A.

I do not suppose that tho Ex-Minister of Italy is more than thirty-five or thirty-six years of age. and he has a magnificent physique, but the general effect after a hasty look at his face is that of a man who has had a stormy life and is nearing his forty-eighth or forty-ninth year.

He drank a cup of tea with his lunch­ eon, and when he had finished he took an old book from tho pocket of bis overcoat and sat reading it for half an hour.

The designer is* oot known, but is supposed to have beon tho famous German astronomer, Nicholas Crataer. )This venerable curio was only dis­ covered about four years ago in a shed adjoining the palace. It was restored by the secretary of the Board of Work*. The dial is made up of three copper disks of different diameters, with a common center. The smallest disk is S feet inches in diameter. Its spaces represent the quarters of the moon and the hour for crossing the meridian. Th* second disk is divided into twentynine space*, numbered from right to left, which represent the moon's age in days. The third, or outer, disk is 7 feet 10 inches in diameter and bear* several sets of concentric circular spaces, showing the name* of the months aod days and th* signs of the zodiac. Each zodiacal space is divided into thirty degree* and an outer circle divide* the days of the year. The weights which arc used have a drop of 60 feet and take half an hour each wsfek to wind. The clock is set in a stone frame about 16 feet square, with the badge of Henry VIII above the portcullis and flour de lis, with the initials "H.

AGE2<*T« WARTKOT (O»K«UM EARTHSEAsSKY �—1 WHO WORK. ▲ Picture of Their Indoatrlal aud \ Social Conditlona Chief Cltiva annual report of tho Commissioner of La­ bor, which is devoted entirely to tbe condi­ tion of working-women in the United Blates. The compilation of tbo statistics and information embodied in the volume, says the New York Bun, are due to tho enfleevor of two young women, working with Blight assistance from one man, under the direction of Mr. Carroll D. Wright, Comxmasioner of Labor, end with the purpose Of presenting an authentic picture of tho industrial condition of working-women of tbe day, to furnish a valuable addition to the history of the times which should bo absolutely true, l^nd to gather date for its •clentlfio bearing upon social problem*. When Mr. Wright was in charge ot the Bu­ reau of Statistic* he conceived tbe idea of making a report of tbo working-women of Boston with respect to their homo as well as shop conditions, and to this end ho had LOGO representative working-women, not including the semi-professional women, In­ terviewed personally. At his appointment as Commissioner of Labor by President Ar­ thur he determined to extend his Investiga­ tions to other duos, and accordingly all tbe representative cities from Now En­ gland to the Mississippi river, and as far south as Now Orleans, as well as tbo largo cities on tbo Pacific coast, whore working-women are cosgregutod in large numbers, have been visited and tho condi­ tion of their working people very thorough­ ly looked into and accurately reported. Tho gathering of this information required the greatest tact aud sagacity, for working­ women are, us a rule, extremely reserved, too proud to confess their actual needs and deprivations, suspicious of interviewers, and antagonistic to any-thing that suggests Charitable interference, fearful of com­ promising themselves, and sometimes in­ timidated by employers and superintend­ ents. Ip spite of all this, between 17,000 and 18,00) wsmen have be?n . interviewed and visited not only in tho shops but at their homes, and tho bulk of the work has been accomplished by ’he two women to whom it was relegated. They have together visited Boston, Brook­ lyn, Buffalo, Newark, Cleveland, Chicago, BL Paul, and BL Louis, Louisville, Cincin­ nati, Baltimore, Philadelphia, Now Orleans, Atlanta, Savannah, Charleston, Now York, Indianapolis and Richmond, remaining from three weeks to five months in each city, ac­ cording to the number of the working­ women and tho difficulty in obtaining tho desired information. Thffy would go into a strange city alone, pick up such Information os they could concerning ito industries by consultation of the census and questioning the people they met, and then proceed to Interview the employers, and if possible to gain admittance to the work-rooms. This waa frequently denied them, and tho ad­ dresses of the women flso refused. They would quietly visit another establish­ ment, and, sooner or later, woro sure to find some one who had worked In tho factory or shop to which they had been refused admittance, and who 3Hid toll thorn its condition, as well as tho dresses of some of its employes. Fre­ quently, too, they found the employes and employers arrayed against each other in most hostile relations, and to gather tbe de­ sired information from both sides required infinite tact and diplomacy. The days were thus devoted to tho collecting cf informaticn, the evenings to making out the written reports of the same, and Sundays were spent in visiting tbo working people at their homes. Sometimes Ln interviewing a trade they would visit every house in a street, for operatives in tho same branch of laoor are inclined to group themselves m tho same neighborhood. Their interviews consisted tn learning tho nativity, age, conjugal rela­ tions, ago at which work was begun, effect bf work upon health, wages and hour*, work previously done, if differing from that en­ gaged in at. the time, from every woman they visited. From nine to ton per oont of employes, in a shop or factory were visited. When once the working-women became sat­ isfied that their inquiries camo with Flndly rather than charitable or reformatory mo­ tives, they talked freely and intelligently on tho subject and allowed tho'figures to bo copied from their little pass-books'in which was tho actual amount of wages they re­ ceived after all fines and other expenses de­ manded by tho employers had boon sub­ tracted. Employers frequently allowed their pay-rolls to bo copied, and from the two account* the correct average will bo made. ■ Ono of these remarkably bright and in­ teresting young women, who is from the South and requests that her name be with­ held, says aa a result of her two years’ in­ vestigation : “While I find many serious evil* in the working-woman’s condition, I also find a brighter side than is popularly behoved to exist. Women work under a great disad­ vantage from want of proper training. Tho less desirable portions of ‘ho work are as­ signed to them, and an infinite number of influences besides the rapacity of employers affect their wages. Immigration, while it tends to build up the country, reduces tho rate of labor very materially. The unfort­ unate conditions under which women work and amid which they bro arc often owing to the meanness of landlords in re­ fusing to make needed repairs or build san­ itary tenement houses. But 1 also find working-women on a much higher plane than they were ten or fifteen years ago, and many of them attained independence by their unaided labor. Whore there were there arc now about 400 in which money may be earned. I find that many of them well, and sometimes save. Families in which there are many daughters live very nicely off the aggregate income, very often, especially among foreigners, owning tho bouses in which they live. They invest their savings in a variety of ways in differ­ ent places, in 8t Paul they buy lota and speculate in real estate; in Indianapolis they invest in tho building and loan asso­ ciation, and in Boston put their funds in the savings banks. As regards their moral con­ dition, it compares very favorably with that of women in other walk* of life, and consid­ ering their exposure aud temptations, I should call it better. They are a heroic baud, constantly exhibiting evidence of brave endurance, unparalleled devotion and patient self-sacrifice, and the only diffi­ culty with them is that they do not know their own value and can not lay aside per­ fare of xbemaaaew'* GOLD IN ARIZONA. ............ WOMEN OF WEALTH. It Wm Originally the Battle Ciy 'What a Now York Lady Baa to Say About Them. and Michael Sullivan, are all well known in Arizona, having boon engaged in searching for nature’s hidden wealth for many years. After monumentinv tbsir respective claims the two former returned to camp to pre­ pare the proverbial beans, bacon, bread and black coffee on which the prospector thrives, while Sullivan lagged behind on the hillside. Fretty soon ho saw a curiouslooking stone, it was about five Inches long, three inches wide and an Inch thick, and though dark in color it had yellow streak* and ridges intersecting on ito sur­ face that made his heart give a sudden Jump. Ho stooped and picked it up. It weighed about three pounds, anti he saw at a glance that it was solid gold. He consid­ ered that to be a prstty fair afternoon's work, in view of the fact that gold Is worth 4301 45 a pound, so he returned to camp and partook of his bean* In silence. After sup­ per, as tbo three lit their pipes and drew around the camp-fire in thi gathering dark­ ness, he drew out his gold specimen. By tho flickering firelight they recognized It at once os tbe royal metal, and were wild to know where he had found it. But Sullivan was astute. He had, not picked it up on ono of hl* own claims, but nevertheless he wanted “some of the pie” himself, so he said: “Look hero, fellows! We throe are out in these mount­ ains all by ourselves, and I say lot us bang together. If yon will both agree to con­ solidate our nine ^claims and work as partners I will show you where I found the gold." Tho consolidation was made, and it then turned out that tho gold had been picked up on Walton’s claim, within six feet of a holo he had dug that very after­ noon. Ho had named the claim tho "Gold Hill," and it did not belie ito name. Tho next morning the three fortunate men, already millionaites in imagination, repaired to tho spot, aud during the next two or three days picked up on tho surface of the ground nearly forty thousand dollars in gold in lumps of from twenty pounds downward. It was several weeks before tho startling nows reached the city of Phcenix, the nearest point of supply, but when it did come and spread onward to Tucson and Tombstone, aud into California, an Immense rush of prospectors and miners commenced, that is still increasing. Hun­ dreds of xn ining claims have since been taken up, for this district, so long unno­ ticed, turns out to be absolutely impregnat­ ed with the precious metals, and within a radius of ten miles of ths bonanza numerous largo bodies of gold, silver, copper and ar­ gentiferous galena ores are being assidu­ ously worked. Of these, however, no ex­ plicit 'account can oe given as yet, as no final results have been obtained. FIGHTING WOMEN. Them England Owm Much at In warlike times when battle was the business of life and victory over a foe* the highest honor that could be had, wheu homo in the true senso there was none, and when castles were less houses for pleasant living than strongholds to shelter raiders and resist assault, women were as heroic as their age. If they were not so accurate in their aim as tho archers, of whom it was said every English bowman “boro under bls girdle twenty-four Scots,” they know how to man tho ramparts and defend tho bridges as well as their lords themselves. Womanliness in the bower, dignity in tho hall, courage In tho castle— that was tho whole duty ot these noble women of a rude but manly age, and to their example, their influence and their shaping power oa mothers England owes much of her greatness end half of her strength. Letting Boadicea pass as an ex­ ample of tho feminine fighting blood, wo find in Damo Nichols do Cornville an early specimen of the war-like political woman. She took tho royal side in tho famous war with the Barons, and hold Lin­ coln Castle against Gilbert do Gaunt, first for King John and afterward tor Henry HL, till the battle called Lincoln Fair broke her power. Tho beautiful Countess of Salisbury, she who was so ar­ dently beloved by tho third Edward, was another instance of feminine daring, in her case coupled with tho loveliest and most gracious-sweetness. Black Agnes waa again a heroine, of tho virago type, and Queen Philippa, Queen Margaret, and others of tho same kind honored their adopted nationality by their courage and devotion. Meaner women were as brave. In a skirmish at Naworth (1570) Leonard Dacres hod in his army “ many desperate* women who there gave tbo adventure of tholr lives and fought right stoutly." And at the end of tbo last century and tho beginning of this about half a dozen women on the whole enlisted as privates in tho army, and “pulled their pound” aa gallantly as men. Mias Jennie Cameron, Scotch and Jacobite, was another example of the fighting wom­ en with whom nature had stumbled and spoiled the original design. AMERICAN APPLES. Tho American apple has become such an Important item iu English markets that the British fruit grower has been roused and the British economist has been stirred into Esch and action may follow. A writer in London Horticultural Times (Mr. Hamp­ son Morgan) furnishes a mass of figures, from which it appears that, in 1888, 811,410 barrels, containing 2,434,230 bushels of ap­ ples, were imported into England from this country, in addition to thousands ot tons brought from various pans of tbe conti­ nent England is paying out otrr $40,000,XX) a year to foreign fruit-growers, and more than 8500,000,000 yearly for imported Morgan contends, could easily be raised at home. The* value of imported fruit was tour time* greater in 1865 and id 1845, and has grown to be nearly ten times as much Ln 1881 And yet, with all this inereajoof supply, price* have not fallen. A* the Kent farmers have realized hand­ some profits on apples, and od the nearlyrelated fruit,' pears, the further develop­ ment of the industry 1* urged. The writer also insists on the superiority of the En­ glish fruits over tho same varieties raised abroad. On thi* point there is opportunity tor discussion, but every observing man will echo the writer's appeal that tho great demand for fruit be utilized by extending it* culture so that a half ot tbe population, instead of being driven Into the already congested cities and towns, shall find em­ ployment in field* and orchards. It is in­ teresting to note that the writer insists on ths superiority of tbe home-grown fruit as the fruit raised in countries where, for marketing is lew. It fa stated by the same After a superficial research Into the “Genesis of the Hebei Yell,” our some- historical essays for Eastern readers have Inclined to the opinion that it Is a Texas modification of the guttural Comanche whoop. This is clearly a mistake, based on insufficient information, say's tbo BL Louis Republic. The veil was heard in tho Texan war for independence. It camo clear and strong from tbe throats of the men who followed Houston at Ban Jacinto, but that was not its genesis by any means. Tho Texans of that day were all, or nearly all. Datives of other Western States, and their war-cry was a part of the equipment they carried to Texas with them. All the reliable evidence shows that the robeiyell was a contribution of the great West to tho cause of American freedom in the rebellion against England. Before the revolution a handful of Virginians had pushed across the Alleghenies and built at Wautauga, in what la now Tennessee, one of tho first outposts of American civilization tn tho then unknown West, lying between the Alleghenies and the Pacific. They held in check tho 15,000 Chcrokuo warriors who were incited by the English to attack the rebels of the seaboard in the rear, and when these Eastern rebels seemed totally demoralized, when Cornwallis, with Tarle­ ton and Ferguson under him had cut tbe confederacy in two, “the rebel yell" waa beard for the first time oast of tho mount­ ains. It was the accompaniment of a style of fighting with which tho English regulars were entirely unfamiliar—the massing of a small force against tho weaker point of a scattered opposing force, and then, without regard to the numbers ot ths'Opposing fores, a headlong rush and tho wild charg­ ing cry which has since become memorable as “the rebel yclL" When the brave Colonel Ferguson re­ treated to King’s Mountain and intrenched himself there in what be supposed to be on impregnable position, his second in com­ mand, Du Peyster, said to him as tho Wesb ern men charged up tho mountain under the galling fire of his superior force: “Thero are those yelling devils again." Bix hours later the yelling devils from the West had won the battle of- King's Mount­ ain, captured its surviving defenders, and turned the tide of tho revolution back against England, sending Cornwallis In confused retreat to the surrender at York­ town. There is no doubt at all of the genesis of tho rebel yell as it was heard at King's Mountain. It was the war-cry of men os brave as ever died in defense of homes—the Tennessee Cherokees, whose language ho* made tho river* and mountains of their old hunting-grounds musical with tbo names that are aa soft as Italian. Witb the possi­ ble exception of the Natchez, they were tho most intelligent and least cruel of North American Indians, holding tbe universal Indian law of retaliation, but more capable than any others of tho Indian stock of for­ giving injuries. Under Ocouo^tata aud Old Tanel they made a heroic fight against tho Westward advance of civilisation, and tholr battle cry wo* beard in defense of Tennessee soil at tbo first fight on Lookout Mountain os deflantiy as at tho second. It was turned against them by the white Tennesseeans who followed John Bevier in over a hundred fights with them, in every one of which tho Cherokees were losers. Before Sevier's time, most of tbe fighting against Indians had been done from behind stock­ ades, or in skirmishing from behind trees. With a military genius that was Napoleonic before Napoleon, Sevier adopted, and never swerved from, u policy of sudden attack In the open field, always in the enemy’s coun­ try, without waiting to reckon up how many men the enemy could bring against him if given time. This art of war was defined in 1865 by the Tennessee cavalryman whom General Lee called tbo greatest of his Gener­ als in the West, as "getting therp flrat with thomost men.” Against this method of fight­ ing the untrained Cherokees could do noth­ ing. They fought for every foot of terri­ tory, but always with great loss of their own warriors, inflicting little in return. Tbe author of the “Rear Guard of tho Revolution" has no theory of his own con­ cerning the origin of tho rebel yell, but tbe facts bo has collected make it certain enough that it was originally the battle cry of these red Tennesseans, who called their warriors “Sons of Fire” (Cherahkces). In all mouths but theirs il has been n rebel yell invariably. It was raised by rebels at King's Mountain; again a few weeks later at Jonesboro, where 1,500'."onnessee rebels assembled to rescue John Bevier, who had been kidnaned by North Carolina and car­ ried across tho mountains to bo tried for treason aa the heaii of the Tennessee rebel­ lion against North Carolina; it was a rebel cry at tho Alamo and Ban Jacinto; later on it was heard again at Shiloh and Chicka­ mauga from the throats of Tennesseeans who rebelled against Tennessee for tbo Union, and of other Tennesseeans who rebelled against the Union for Tennessee. It is in accord with eternal fitness that the rebel war-cry should trace it* origin to Tennessee—which above all others is tho rebel State—tho only State of tho second rebellious Confederacy which waived all discussion of the constitutional right of se­ cession, and, standing squarely on it* rebel­ lious record against England and North Carolina, rebelled out ot tho Union instead oi seceding out of it Lexington, Go., thinks that it has one of the most unique club bouses in the country.

Tac apparition was first discovered by a farm hand whft was returning late from courting a pretty maid. Emerging from a wooded pathway that skirted an old forest for miles, this rustic won startled to hear a sepulchral voice commanding a team to halt. He looked in vain about tho place for a moment or twb, and was about moving on again when tbo same sound fell on his ear.

Browfi, 11 ko many ot the loungers in the store, smiled incredulously, and ad­ vised Cooper to “reform." A discussion arose, in which hot words were made that Cooper was drawing the long bow. Tho upshot of the matter was that tbo crowd adjourned to tho alleged aceno of tho ghost’s operations, to verify or disprove Cooper's tale. They had not long to wait Without tbo noises that had warned Cooper tho night before, tho phantom farmer appeared be­ fore tho eyes'of tbo seven men who sat upon the fence, or, to bo tnoro accurate, who almost fell from it in terror. His long white hair and beard streatqed tn tho pass­ ing wind. No hat waa on \his bead nor could any portion’of his face M seen except the glistening eyes. These shot out from a height of more than seven feet from the ground, indicating that the spectral granger was taller than tho average of human kind. About his body, which could not well be traced, there was a posphorcsccnt glow which dazzled the eye* of the terrified spectators and shown far ahead of tbs steadily moving horses. Tho plow bo leaned on seemed of skeleton frame, but it tossed off the soft, moist earth as easily us a steamer turns the river waves. On ho came, tho horses seeming to exhalo fire, thsir heads erect and arching, and footfalls as firm and clear us any the watchers ever heard. At the corner of tho field they turned obediently at a word from their spectral driver, and again passed before the affrighted spectators, who thereupon fled in haste. On tho following morning a crowd of rus­ tics determined to go to the field to sm whether any trace of tho farmer could bo found. As they came in sight of the inclosuro one of the number exclaimed In as­ tonishment: “I’ll bo durnod if the thing doesn't plow, sure enough."

Of oourse they would not invest all their wealth, but enough of It to make It the greatest financial organization on earth. I know many of these women personally, and I am sure they would much prefer to have their money actively employed than locked up In diamonds, fine residences and unpro­ ductive securities. Talk about tho ‘op­ pressed sex.’ These sixty-two women could ameliorate tbe whois femalo population." The lady went on to explain that this gigantic aggregation of wealth meant a sum much greater than tho combined wealth of tho Vanderbilts. 1 find by ref­ erence to the latest estimate on the Vander­ bilt estates that In this jibe is right The best information on tho valuo of tho Van­ derbilt wealth Is as follows: 1110,000,001) Cornelius Vanderbilt , K6.000.000 Wtuiam K.

News, all are unmarried, and John, tbo brother, is a study. There were once three boys. The father was odd He would never go in debt. Once ho wont to buy the boys a coat each, but his money gave out, and ho only got two. Ho told John the circum­ stances, and said that ho would g*. him one next time. John got mad. said he need never buy bins ouc, and that ho would novor wear one as long as his father lived. Going to his room, John remained fourteen years without a coat, and no ono ever saw him out of that room. His meals were sent to him and be sat there and read and thought When tho father died John came out, put Glenns are Scotch-Irish. Tbo coat-of-arms ornaments the silver, china and front door. Tbo old man bad money and bought largely of land, and the estate is ono of tho most valuable Lu Champaign County. After tho father died, tbe children, none of whomever married, although all liavo been carefully educated, decided to have the whole house frescoed. For ten months an artist worked at tbe bowse, and the walls and ceilings are covered with grotesque figures, serpents and animals. John got mod once about these decorations, and shut himself in his room for four years, coming out to attend the funeral of tho brother who had provoked him. Mary, tho youngest sister, has charge of tho finances now. John is sixty-five years old, and bleached white by his confinement. Prof. Poe, ot Bridgeport, Conn., has In­ vented an artificial pur of lungs which ho uses in restoring life in cases of drowning and asphyxiation. He is experimenting on a pet rabbit, and has already drowned it and restored it to life eleven times. The rabbit has also been suffocated by the fumes of burning charcoal until all signs of life were extinct The professor then attached his patent bellows to ths animal's mouth and forced oxygon into the lungs. The re­ turning suction drew out the deadly gases, and tbe artificial respiration produced u muscular contraction and expansion of the lungs until life was restored. Prat Poe claims that his invention will save human beings as well as rabbits. ’ The washerwomen of Paris, to the num­ ber of 10,000, “fully qualified and duly accredited,” have agreed to form them­ selves into a syndicate, for tbe purpose of looking after their interests m an official manner.

The enterprise that might bo carried out with this combination of capital staggers tho imagination. 'Old Hutch,’ who made such a furor and so much money by cornering tho Chicago wheat market, is worth but $.8,000,000. Not half of bls fortune was used in this specu­ lation, and yet he mode $1,000,000 out of it. What, then, might bo accomplished with $371,000,0001 It would buy tho Western UqIou Telegraph Company, at it* actual value, eighteen times; it would buy tho en­ tire oil regions of Pennsylvania; it is more money than has been mode from tho Kim­ berly diamond fields of South Africa, and vastly more than has been produced from ths great Comstock lode, the princely fort­ unes of Mackay, Fair, Flood, O'Brien, and tho rest of tho golden Californians." I asked this woman of vast figures if sho had outlined any plan upon which such a Woman's Trust might be operated. She had not got that far along with tho novel enterprise, but her opinion was that u wornip like Hetty Green, herself worth $40,000,­ 000, should be at tho head of iL ’There are a dozen women managing fortunes that would be useful in tho executive departmsnt of such a combination. She named Miss Mary Garrett, of Baltimore, with her 430,000,000 Mrs. Nicholson, chief ownlr of ths Now Orleans Picayune; Mrs. Frank Leslie, and other ladies of mindsand means. She believed that such a combination would accomplish a great deal of good In tbe world by "knocking out” those who op­ posed tho poor. “If these women should go into Wall street or tho Chicago wheat market with their money they could clean out the whole army of speculators and pile up more money than ever came from the mines of Golconda." "But might they not get scoopcdt” I asked. Bhs thought not, but the suggestion set bar thinking. AN OLD SLAVE’S SECRET. He B*qu«atha His Knowledg of a Silver Mino to Ills Son. Silver mining upon an extensive scale is to be begun in the mountains near hare, •ays a Richmond (Va.) dispatch to tbe New Yerk Tribune, as soon as tho weather will permit In connection with the beginning of this industry there is an interesting and unusual story. Almost from the period of the first settlement of the country there has been a popular belief that a silver mine of considerable richness existed somewhere in tbe middle mountains, but although search­ ing parties have tramped over almost every foot of the territory, beginning their opera­ tions long before the war, no trace of tbe vein was ever found by white men. About 1858, however, a slave named Gaiter acci­ dentally found the silver-bearing ledge, and took the story to bis master, with tbe offer to reveal tho location if he could be assured of tho freedom of himself, wife aud son. The master, thinking it was only a ruse on the part of the colored man to get away to the North, refused to take any stock in tbo alleged discovery, and the John Brown raid, together .with tho outbreak of the war, caused tbe silver legend to be com­ pletely lost sight of. Gaiter and his family moved to Mount Pleasant, Pa., whore he died a few years ago, but not before he had confided his secret to his son Henry. Henry made a number ot trips to the secret mine and secured a considerable quantity of the metal. A short time ago be visited this place and entered into negotiations with local capitalists.' They were so impressed with his story that they consented to pur­ chase a largo tract of wild land In the mountains a few miles south of the town. As soon as that was accomplished they entered into an agreement with GaiteY to give him one-fourth of the net proceeds of be hired for work and to make their own Here is your oppor­ tunity!

On May 11, Earl Emery, a 10-yearold son of Arch Emery, while playing with a loaded shotgun, accidentally shot himself ip the face, indicting a dangerous wound. - The charge entered his mouth, cutting away a part of his upper jaw, onehalf of bis nose and one eye; yet> strangs to say, at this writing (May 13) the little fellow is still alive. Medical aid was summoned at the time of tbe accident, and every means employed to alleviate his sufferings. His mother had just left the house to go to a neigh­ bor’s on an errand. No blame can be attached to the parents, as the gun was kept in a secluded part of the house and supposed to be out of children’s reach. Mr. and Mrs. Emery are hard­ working, industrious people,* and should have all the little kindnesses that can be shown them in this, their unlooked-for bereavement, and we have no doubt that our people will readily respond, as they always do to anything that appeals to their charity.

I imagine I had him completely under the in­ fluence of tho drug, but It seems lliat tbe cigar was not as heavily charged as I imagined. I was foolish to permit him to escape. I should, in jastice to all con­ cerned, havp placed him under arrest. And yet such a move might block the game entirely, and prevent the ends of justice. "No, I must permit th© Captain fall swing for a little longer. Tho face of Don Benito has startled tho Captain, and that certainly means something. I might bo able to guess tbe truth had the queer old fellow com­ pleted the story he was once telling. He seemed sane enough then; he is at times, and but for an interfusion I should have known all. However, danger menaces Don Benito and 1 must avert it if possible." In tbe meantime tho Captain turned down tbe nearest alley, crossed a block, und thence passed down a narrow street to the stable where he had sheltered h!s horses. Beseemed to think that it would be time lost in searching for Don Benito in tho city, since he ordered his animals at once and was soon riding swiftly out of the city. He was not long in crossing the ten mile stretch to Lone Hollow. He passed into the house, to his own room, without disturb­ ing the inmates, seeming regardless of the fact that Mrs. Penroy had* once ordered turn •to depart from Lone Hollow and never to return. As he paced tbe floor ho muttered: "The elements of danger thicken. Tbe man I left for dead In California still lives, although I believe him to be insane. What of that! He saved Lura Joyce from my hand last night. There’s method in his maduess. He scorns to recognize me, and while be lives tho danger is doubled.

I possess both, if I do not permit my nerves to be unstrung at the outset. “Mrs. Penroy threatens, too. Confound the sex. I will never trust a woman again, never. They arc all treacherous. That will. The loss of that precious paper has doomed me to much trouble." He turned to a small cupboard and drew forth a flask. He placed 'this to his bps twice ere bespoke again. “Ah! that is th* pure stuff," he finally ejaculated. “That gives me strength, and nerves me to the work in hand." Thrusting tho flask in an inner pocket he passed from the room aud the house. He did not go toward tho road, but walked around the mansion and disappeared in the woods at the foot of the hollow. . An old man stood on the verge of Hang­ man’s Gulch iu the twilight, tall and slender, with long beard and Lair of silver. He presented a patriarchal appearance us he stood leaning lightly on a staff of native acene. Presently a splash and gurgling sound announced the work complete. The man in the shadows breathed easier as ho saw the form of Don Benito sink beneath the waters of the forest pool. He had nothing to foar from tbe madman of the gulch. Neverthe­ less he realized that ho had placed himself In a dangerous position by cmplojrtng the -twins to commit a murder. He waa now tn the power of these two low villains His only safety lay In placing a wide distance between the Cabera*’ aud him­ self. Tbe Captain would never have vent­ ured upon this last tragic work but tor the exigencies of the case. Tho sudden ap­ pearance of one he had supposed long since dead quite unnerved him. Ho had shown his hand in tho attempt to remove Lura Joyce from his path, and ovary step In crime seemed by fate to aeecssitato an­ other, so that to night be stood a branded murderer in tho eyes of at least throe per­ sons. It won highly necessary that he should speedily get his hand into the rich coffers of tho late Morgan Vandiblo; once thus, and he felt that he could bid defiance, to all danger. Hurriedly be walked from the spot, ac­ companied by the twins. Once more a con­ sultation was held in the front room of the cabin with Mother Cabera as ono of the auditors. "It is for tho benefit of all concerned that you go from this place," concluded Captain Biarbright, after a long and earnest talk. "Go west, anywhere to bo out of this neighborhood." "A nice plan.” cackled Mother Cabera. “I'm onto your .tricks, Cap’n.” "Then you refuse to go!” "No, we don’t," put in Hank Cabera ■cond." "You know I will do that." After a little further parley the Captain placed a roll of bills in tho hand of the wom­ an. a considerable sum of money, which at some future time Biarbright promised to duplicate many times. “One o.f you come to me again al Lone Hollow six months from this data and you shall have money enough to make you all Independent,” answered Captain Starbright. This seemed to be satisfactory, and Yhe unsavory two promised to depart and re­ main away during the time specified, when one of them would return for the promised money. Thus did CapUtjn Starbright shake the tools of his villainy for tho time. Ho was ready to repent using them, but it was too late to recede. One false step led to an­ other, and now the Captain was on the highway to what to him seemed a grand consummation of all his hopes, or to utter ruin. "Now. then, to find the will and make my­ self master of the Vendible million,*’ mut­ tered Captain Starbright as he walked hurriedly on his return to Lone Hollow. CHAPTER XXII.

Something must be done st onco or I am ruined.” The Captain seemed really pale and conecrued. Seekmore Gripes regarded the floor intently, and slowly polished his knee with the back of bis baud. "It's a peculiar cose, as I said before," finally proceeded the lawyer. “There cer­ tainly was a will made, and it is exceedingly annoying that it can not bo produced. Time may aid us.

The belief is notoonflned either to race, ereed or locality. When the la«t maft had left an idea had got abroad among tha coolie population that a number of heads was required in laying the foun­ dations of some government works at Singapore; and so there was a general fear of venturing out after nightfall, lest tho adventurer should bo pounced on and decapitated. Ono might have tboughyxhe ways of tho Singapore gov­ ernment ware better understood. That such ideas Should get abroad about the requirement of governmontr oven in China or Annam, is curious enough, but the British government of tho straits above all othert! Yet there it is; tho natives had got it into thoir heads that the government stood in need cf 9B0 human heads to Insure tho safe completion of certain puMic works, and that 480 of the number weYv still,wanting. A very similar panic occurred at Shanghai in connection with the build­ ing of the Cathedral. The idea got abroad that the municipal council wanted a certain number of human bodies to bury boneath the foundation of that edifice; and a general dread of venturing out after nightfall—esjiecially of"getting past the Cathedral compound—prevailed for weeks, with all kinds of variations and details. A slmiliar notion was said to be at the bottom of the riots which broka out last summer at Saul. Foreigners—the missionaries for chfiideAwero accused ot wanting children for some mysteri­ ous purpose; and the mob seized and decapitated in the public streets nine* Korean officials, who were said to hare been parties to kidnaping victims to supply the want This, however, seems more akin to the curious desire for Infantile victims, which was charged against missionaries in tho famous Honan proclamation that pre­ ceded tho TIenstein massacre Some­ times children's brains are wanted for medicines; sometimes their eyes are wanted to compound material for photography. A case came to u«, however, last autumn, from Calcutta, which is so ex­ actly on all fours with this latest mani­ festation that it would almost seem the idea had traveled like an epidemic and broke out afresh in a congenial atmos­ phere. Four villages of the Dinage­ pore district wore convicted lost Sep­ tember of causing the death ot two Cabulis and injuring a third, for the precise reason that they had been kid­ naping children to be sacrificed in connoction with the building of a railway bridge over the Mahanuddl. A rumor had got abroad that such proceedings were In contemplation, and when these Cabulis came to trade with the villagers they were denounced as kidnapers and mobbed. Two were killed outright, their bodies being flung into the river, while the third, being severely handled, escaped by hiding himself.—London Telegraph._________________ MAKING GOLD THREAD. The silver is brought from the Bank of England in cakes weighing about one thousand ounces. To secure tbe necessary degree of tenacity a certain proportion of copper is added, and the alloyed jnetal. in the form of cylindrical bars, is next thoroughly heated. The hammering process follows, and the, bars, oriftaally about two feet in length and two inches in diameter, but now half as long again and proportion­ ately thinner, are in the next place filed and rubbed until their surfaces are perfectly even. What wo may call the second part of the process begins with the laying on ot leaf after leaf of gold in the proportion of two per oenL Afterward each bar is wrapped in paper and well heated in a charcoal fire. A ►sort of vice stands ready, and in IL bar after bar as it comes from the fire, is fixed and thoroughly burnished. All trace of its silver original has now dis-­ appeared, and the bar in ready for con­ version into wire. This is accomplished by drawing it from one hundred to one hundred and fifty times through ever­ diminishing holes in ateel plates; and finally, when the capabilities of this metal have been exhausted, through apertures in diamonds, rubles, or sap­ phire*. The delicate wire thus obtained must now be passed through the steel rollers of one of Herr Krupp’s little “flatting mills.” This brings us to the final process—the spinning of the flat­ tened wire round silk, to form th© golden thread of commence. These spinning machines are worked by water, although two steam engines are to be found in tho factory; for water power is considered to bo more regular and even in its action. There is a small home demand far the round wire for the adornment of epaulets, etc.; but tbe bulk of the manufactured article finds ito way in the shape of silky gold thread to India ai& the far East yeneralbL where it is oonvarted by skilled natiWli labor into those gorgeous cloths and tissues in which tLe heart of the Oriental delights.

Roberts, M. D., Physi­ cian to and Professor of Clinical Medi­ cine at University College Hospital, London, Eng., says: “Bright’s Disease has no symptoms of its own, and may long exist without the knowledge of the patiem or practitioner, as no pain will be felt in the kidneys or that vi­ cinity." This accounts for many peo­ ple dying of Bright’s Disease, or ad­ vanced Jridney malady. The disease is not suspected until it roaches a fatal period. If Warner’s Safe Cure is used at the proper time, the fatality from that disease would be greatly de­ creased.

The soldier who marched and ■ fought through toilsome and bloody campaigns often gets the idea, justly or not, from the accounts of them that he reads in these later days, that the v soldiers who did the fighting nnd en­ dured the hardships were frequently mere puppets, laboring in great mili­ tary enterprises which it was never in­ tended by those in authority should succeed, nnd laboring successfully only when beyond the reach of people in high authority, whose delight it seemed to be to bring to naught tho toils and sufferings of the soldiers. • Those who may think that the pres­ ent writer speaks too loudly are advised to read on.

There is one curious fact about thip business, which is, that the severest critic* of the management of the war have been upon the side that they criticised. The most scathingaccusation* against Jefferson Davis for his favoritism and harmful interference with the plans ot his General* have al­ ways come from Southern writers. The verv best description of the horrors of Andersonville, and the plainest protest against their continuance, are found in tlie report of the medical officer who was sent from Richmond to investigate. A Confederate who fought through the whole war (George Cary Eggleston) give* in his little volume of experiences such startling picture* of the Confod- 6 to wonder how the war could have been carried on so long upon that aide with such drags upon it. tate to express in plain terms and at considerable length his contempt for die Unndering stupidity that he nays characterized nearly all the acta of the Confederate Congress. He even goes so far as to say that the men who were naturally fitted for seats in that body were all in • the army, and that the upon that ride than Salmon P. Chase, Secretary of the Treasury, and after­ ward Chief Justice. No official stood nearer to Mr. Chase than the late B. Field, hia First Assistant in the Treas­ ury. Mr. Field has put in print (in his published “Memoirs") that Mr. Chase started in under the Lincoln administration with the resolution to keep r. diary of daily important occurrences, more particularly aa to what was said and done at the Cabinet meetings; and he allowed his assistant to copy long extracts from t hat diary. Bnt, as tho war progressed, ho discontinued it entirely, and frankly stated to Mr. Field his reason for doing so. It was, that the discussions at the Cabinet board over proposed war-meas­ ures grow so bitter as to degenerate into quarrels, on account of which some of these high officers would not recog­ nize each other for a long time; and Mr. Chase expressed the opinion that if the true star)' of some of those con­ troversies were to be put in print, it would bo a lasting dishonor to the American Government. This will read queerly enough to tho*<> who have been iu tho habit of thiuking that-<jotiling but lofty patriot­ ism controlled the immediate advisers of President Lincoln. But it is the truth that is here stated; and as I have often remarked in these columns, we are dreadfully in need of the truth about the war. Can the diligent and thoughtful stu­ dent of our war history give any good reason why certain General officers were court-martialed on the Union side, some of them disgraced (although not near as many a* ought to have been), and other and far worse offenders never brought ter trial at all ? Can he give any explanation why a General officer was summarily imprisoned after tho slaughter at Ball's Bluff, denied lx>th inquiry and court-martial, though ear­ nestly demanding both, aud was finally released after almost a year’s confine­ ment. without charges or explanation? Can he say why the General in com­ mand of the right at Chancellorsville. by whose criminal negligence and wrong-headedness thousands of men were killed and wounded, and the Army of the Potomac -was almost sacri­ ficed, was never brought to trial? ' He cannot tell. He can only say -that gross favoritism wns at work in high quarters, and that the secrets of the conduct of the war. when brought \to light, will explain those things. | Such strange instances as these were of continual occurrence during the war. They were the rule rather than the exception. But what would the men, in and out of the army, who lived in 1863, say if they were told that during that sum­ mer, while the sieges of Vicksburg and Port Hudson were going on. General Banks was peremptorily ordered from Washington to relieve General Grant, in command of the forces before Vicks­ burg? And so ordered not only once but twice? Aud that the order was not in either case complied with, solely on account of Bunks’ unwillingness, and his inaistance that Grant should not be interfered with? Ajid that there is an officer now living who per­ sonally knows of these facts ?• These are mere glimpses at the truth—just.tho raising of the corners of the great curtain. They are indica­ tions of the surprises that are in store for tho people and tho veterans, when we begin to get the secret history of R. WM. H. Standish. Co. K. 53d Ohio, living at Dak., b UiOH al Tribune: CBVt- w- v WilliamM, who ** ' was with Longstreet’s forces when they came through Thoroughfare Gap on* August 2G, 1862, states that it was accom­ plished in this wise: Tliey had at­ tempted to cross into East Virginia and join Lee’s forces at Wnterloo Bridge, but were confronted at the bridge by McDowell, and retired. Then they struck north by the road leading through Salem and White Plains; thenoe south through Thoroughfare Gap—perhaps one division by way of Hopewell Gap; that Thoroughfare Gap had been blocked by a force of probably about 4,000 cavalry, placed there by Pope’s orders, nnd had they remained there the Gap would have been impregnable; but shortly before Longstreet, with his 16,000 men, was to arrive on the north side, his cavalry advance found this force on the north aide of the pass, went in, showed fight, retreated, and drew the force holding the pass in the direction of New Balti­ more along the west side of the moun­ tain ridge to the south, and while they were out of the pass Longstreet’s army passed through it unharmed. In the Thoroughfare Gap passage there was no lack of loyalty in the com­ manding officer, but he lost sighfof the importance of his position when he pulled out and pursued the advance­ guard of Longstreet. Captain WHliains says this pass was a long, narrow defile, just sufficient to make a good roadway; that half an hour’s work could have rolled it full of bowlders from either aide, and the long, narrow line of LoDgHtrectfe men, as they would have had to string out, could have been cut off completely had they attempted to pans. Staying in the pass by us and holding it would Jiave comi>elled Longstreet to back out and come in by way Of Hopewell Gap, a distance around of about forty miles.

[Norfolk (Va.1 dispatch.] Ono of tbe most severe hailstorms that ever struck this section has just pasaad over Norfolk, Portsmouth, and vicinity. Ice particles of extraordinary «i»o came down with tbo bail, and several inches of hail lay in drifts before thedeHtgo of rain th«t followed carried it away. Tbe shade trees of the street* and the flower and vegetable gardens were badly wrecked. In the country tbe truck farms were badly lorn up, strawberries, peas, cabbage, and other crops being beaten to the ground. The vineyards and orchards suffered se­ verely. vines and trees being cut terribly and the fruit destroyed. Many of tho trucker* express themselves as ruined for the season. A swath of five or six mile* broad waa cut through Norfolk and Nansemond Counties by the storm. The truck­ ers all around the Hodges Ferry section and between the Western Branch River and Portsmouth lost everything. Tbe loss will probably reach a million dollars, and it 4s too late now to attempt Io recover. The hailstorm and rainfall swept over Southampton County in thevicinity of Newcom's Depot, and the growing crons and orchard* were badly damaged by large pieces of ice and the great quantity of it. The drifts ot hail were twenty-four inches deep in some places, and twelve hours after tbe storm the drift* were over six inches in depth. TLo barn of W. 8. Francis was blown down by the wind nnd demolished and . three horses killed. Other farmers suf­ fered in damage to their building*. The storm struck the great bridge section of Norfolk County, the hailstones in some cases being an large as pullet eggs. The potatoes aud vegetable gardens were dam­ aged.

Con Hide ratio di^oussion has been aroused in tho various European capitals lately by the belligerent tone assumed by tbe Russian and German press toward Switzerland on account of the liberty al­ lowed by that ancient confederation ta the Socialist and Nihilist refugees within its borders. Doubtless the diatribes al­ most daily hurled against theiSwiss Gov­ ernment aro intended chiefly to intimi­ date the Swiss into taking steps toward the expulsion of the hordes of plotters against royalty and society whohave betaken themselves to Switzer­ land to escajie long terms of' imprisonment or to save their necks, bnt there is still less doubt that both the Cznr and the Kaiser have more than once cast covetous eyes upon the territory comprisiegthe little republic, and would glad­ ly, if they dared, odd its acres to their al­ ready enomons domains. In this view the current of discussion runs toward a careful calculation of tb<- chances of an attack upon Switzerland by one or even both of tha powers named. England would certainly not permit such a move w ithout a formidable protest, and France's interests under her present form of gov­ ernment lie in tho direction of preserving the integrity of the only really success­ ful European government by the people, to *ay nothing of the other consideration* which would influence her action in a matter in which Germany was deeply concerned. Even Austria and Italy, subservient ns they arc to Germany, would hardly counleuance an invasion of Switzerland, and many Europeans bcl eve that tha United States, though in no way interested in the internal affaire ot Europe, would, fiom sentimental motives, interpose her veto on an act which would cause the overthrow of the Swiss confederation and the annexa­ tion of its territory. Then, too, the peo­ ple of Switzerland uro to l>e considered in such a contingency, nnd not lightly. The peacefully inclined Swiss Government might possibly submit to a mild degree of coercion applied by tho stronger pow­ ers for the purpose of compelling the ex­ pulsion of plotting socialists and anarch­ ists, nihilists and the like rather than be drawn into armed conflict with its neigh­ bors; but tho memory of countless victo­ ries by Helve:inns in years long gone by, ■cognition of Swiss inde inde-­ ending in the recognition pendence tho world •orld over, over. is Is still fiosh frosh in the national mind. TLo hardy Swiss mountaineer is just as bravo and unconquerablo to-day ns he was hundreds of years ago, and with tho assistance which w ould surely be forthcoming at the outset of any attempt to subdue Switzerland that country could successfully resist any. foe. _________________ Reflections of Frenchmen.

The young captain of one of Mr. Astor’s clippers taught, on one of l<i« trip*, a new cluotiotuvler, and with its aid made a quick ptuumge, and arrived first. He put the price of it into the expense account of the trip, hat Mr. Astor threw it out, insisting that snch an item of expense fur new fangled notion* could not be allowed.

EGG-SHELL WONDERS. Tho shell proper of an egg Is made up mostly «of earthy materials. The proportions vary according to tho food of tho bird. but 90 to 95 percent is car­ bonate of lime. The remainder is com­ posed of from 2 to 5 per cent of anima] matter and from 1 to 5 per cent, oj phosphate of limo and magnesia. Now, Mr.' P. L. Simmonds asks, where doe* the hon procure tho carbonate of lime with which to form the shell? Jf w< confine fowls in a room anti feed there with any of the cereal grains, exclud­ ing all .sand, dust or earthy matter, they will go on for a time and lay eggs, each ono having a perfect shell, mad< up of tho same calcareous elements. Vanquelin shut up a hen for ten day* and fed her exclusively upon oats, oi which she consumed 7,474 grains in weight During tills lime four eggt were lakLjhe shells of which weighed nearly 409 grains; of this amount 27t grains were carbonate of lime, 17 1-5 grains phosphate of limo, and 10 grain* gluten. But there is only a little car­ bonate of limo in oats, and whence could this 409 grains of the rocky material have been derived. The answer tc this question opens up some of the most curious and wonderful facts connected with animal chemistry. Tho body of a bird, like that of a man. irf but a piece of chemical apparatus, made capable ol transforming hard and fixed substance* Into others of a very unlike nature In oats there is contained phosphate ol lime, with an abundance of silica, and the stomach and assimilating organs ol the bird are made capable of decompos­ ing the lime salt and forming with the silica a silicate of lime. The now body is itself made to undergo decomposi­ tion, and tho base is combined with carbonic acid, forming carbonate oi lime. The carbonic acid is probably derived from tho atinoephere, or more directly, perhaps, from the blood. These chemical changes among hard inorganic bodies are certainly wonder­ ful when we reflect that they - are brought .tout to th. dollc.u orgun. ot' a comparatively feeble bird, under the influence of animal heat and vital forces. They embrace a series of de­ composing and recomposing operations, which it is difficult to imitate in Uie laboratory.—Popular Science Monthly.

These towers are of various shape, round, square, octagonal, some very lofty, others less tall, but for all the general dispositions are identical.

This signal is repealed from watch­ tower to watch tower, tho telegraph ticks from one tiro station to another, and in a few minutes nil the firemen of the capital are ou tho alert.

Injurious EITecI* of the Electric I.faht on Some very Interesting statements re­ garding the influence of the electric light on the eyes were recently made at the Russian Medical Congress by Dr. Lubinsky, of Cronstadt. During the last ten years he has had the oppor­ tunity to observe thirty cases of disease* of the eye in young seamen who were obliged to serve in the vicinity of the electrical apparatus. The symptoms ol the disease which Dr. Lubinsky calls photo-electric eye inflammation are quite unique. They appear only during sleep; the patient is suddenly awakened during the night by a copious flow ol tears which pour from the eyes, accom­ panied by a vehement pricking pain. At the same time there arises an un­ usual aversion to light Upon examin­ ation of the patient there is found a swelling of tho eyelids and astrong flow VA V.1WM nviu LUU UJU. of blood from the vuiuei corner V. of the eye.

In the month of February, 1863, our cavalry headquarter* were in the vicin­ ity of Bril Plain, Va., and from that point detail* wore sent to maintain A pickotrllne extending from tho Left of th© main army before Fredericksburg, down along the Rappahannock, on the south tide of the Peninsular region ly­ ing between till* river and the Potomao. Owing to the high condition and width of tho river, tho apparent *nmll force of the enemy below, and tho small amount of trouble they gave us, our Hue was light; ono regiment often guarding or watching, by picket and patrol, the whole extent of country reaching from the left of our infanfry nearly to the Chesapeake Bay. During the time thi* duty was assigned to our regiment, lasting, as it did, about three weeks, we saw scarcely any fight­ ing, s but tho terrible marching Im­ posed upon us in patrollng such a dis­ tance at regular intervals, with the fact that the roads wore made almost im­ passable by rain and mud, told with destructive effect upon horseflesh and tho health and strength of tho men. By reference to tho map* of Virginia, it will bo seen that the distance by an air-line from Falmouth to the Chosajxjako ia about eighty miles. As wo started from a point about half wtyr between Falmouth and Port Conway, and at tho end of oar march down the Peninsula retraced our stops at a point about twenty ratios from tho bay. tho distance direct is probably fifty or sixty miles; but as wo wore obliged to follow a road the windings of which would bo difficult to trace on paper, tho march book and forth must have compre­ hended a distance of more than 125 miles. Wo found it next to impossible to ascertain distances from citizen* and negroes whom wo .saw and questioned; th© ideas of tho negroes in regard to distance* being, as they expressed them, vaFy vague to us. On the afternoon of the 9th day of February our regiment received orders to relievo another regiment of ths brigade then picketing at Klug George Court-house; so at five o’clock we were on tho march, and reached tho reserve at twelve o’clock that night We passed t>Hroe day* picketing. At twelve o’clock on tho night of tho 12th, however, wo were suddenly aroused, the outposts withdrawn, and were soon on tho march. From that time until wo reach­ ed our destination we stopped only when it became absolutely necessary. About noon ono day near the last part of our hard march my horse gave out, and I was obliged to abandon him by the roadside and undertake the al­ most hopeless task of keeping pace with tho regiment on foot. To best ac­ complish this I left the road and struck off aero** tho country In a straight line, through bramble, bogs, pine thickets and uncultivated fields, trust­ ing thus to shorten my own walk, and, if possible, strike tho road again. After about three hour* scrambling ov©r this trackless rome. I was finally favored with tha sight of a cluster of plantation buildings, and upon reaching it found to my unspeakable delight a stable, and in that stable three finelooking horses. My prasaoee brought a concourse of woolly heads about tho stable and two white women, fairly dressed, who set up a terrible outcry when I saddled a bay horse and proceeded to lead him out. An elderly white man then ap­ peared. and with menacing manner, commanded mo to relinquish the horse. I Mmply tapped the handle of my revol­ ver and sprang into the saddle. Ho then began to beg mo to take the black horse- Just then I noticed an old darky close by the horse, and I foil by his actions that he wanted to say some­ thing, but was afraid. 1 leaned over on his aide as though to adjust the ^tirrup-strap, when he hurriedly whis- effort iiml uloured tbv brueli hedge and trench with pqrtet* «*s*.

Mrs. Judge Humphrey, of Kansas, tays: "Every pure woman’s ballot may bo an effective protest against wrong, and if she fails to cast It. by so much is she responsible if wrong rules in­ stead of right" The Ludington Record says: "Thou­ sands of ladies in Detroit voted for school inspector, and exerted a bene­ ficial effect ou tbe bystanders at the polls. None of the baleful things hap­ pened that croakers have predicted." The more radical friends of thecause in Great Britain say there is no earthly reason why married women should not vote; and they even take the extreme position that they will oppose the pas­ sage of any bill which doe* not include married women.

All that the people there have got to do is to keep up courage and not be scared by tho idle talk ot a few cranks who know everything and don’t know anything.

I wrote to tho address given, and within a week I was traveling down to Geldham, Norfolk, engaged to teach “one little girl, aged six,” at a salary of thirty-five pounds a year. The correspondence bad been carried on by my future pupil'* father, who said ho would meet me at tho station at Beaeonsburgh, tho markeb-town nearest to fieldbam. ' It was about five o’clock on an after­ noon in early August that I sat at tho window of the railway carriage as tho frain steamed into Bcaconsburgh sta­ tion. I looked out on to the platform. At one end there wore two young men engaged in securing a large mastiff. I got out and spoke to the station-master. “There is Mr. Rayner himself, ma’am,” said he, pointing toward tho two young men with the dog. Ono of thorn was now looking about, as if in search of somebody; and I walked timidly toward him. lie raised bis hat. v “Miss Christie?” ho said, growing ▼oxy red. । “Yes,” salfl I, bowing and blushing too. " “Will you come and show me which ps your luggage?” I was surprised to find Mr. Rayner so much vounger and less self-possessed than I had expected. I followed him and pointed out my boxes. “The dog-cart is waiting outside,” gaid he, “let me carry your bag.” i I followed him through the station. Ho helped mo into tho dog-cart and then stobd by the *h cad of the brown mare. 1 was trying to get over mv be­ wilderment Of course I might nave known the father of my six-year-old pupil would not be tho middle-aged, gray-haired man I had pictured; but for him to appear not more than four and twenty was a surprise. He left the mare and stood by me. Wo fell Into a conversation, in which ho expressed the wish that I would not find my duties in the school-room irksome, remarking that he had always hated school. “I hope your daughter does not share feer father's dislike of school,” 1 broke out, anxiously. He started 'and looked up at me, col­ oring vividly, and then said: “Did you take me for Mr. Rayner? My name la Reade. Mrs. Rayner sent her brougham for you; but a wagon ran into it and took one of the wheels off; so I put my cart at your disposal. 1 hope you don't mind driving in a thing “Ob, nor I said. ’•That was Mr. Rayner on the plat­ form with me,” be went on. “His dog rushed out just as the train came up, nnd hearted mo to see to your luggage while he held him.'

I saw that ho was a few years older than my com­ panion, and boro the impress of town breeding as clearly as Mr. Reade did that of tbe country. He was slight, well made, with delicate features and a dark golden beard and mustache. He camo up and shook bands with me, apologising for his delay, and express­ ing the hope that his sprightly young friend bad entertained me well. “Misa Christie took me for you, Mr. Rayter,” said Mr. Reade, shyly red­ dening again. “And has now to suffer the awful disappoiutuie.it of finding that Mr. Rayner is an old logs, after all.

The young man drew back and mut­ tered: “I beg your pardon." I was sorry directly; but ray dignity forbade my calling him back to retract the snub. Yet I was dying to know the reason of his violent prejudice against Mr. Rayner. To my relief, in a few minutes he camo back to me of his own accord. •• Miss Christie,” he began, nervous­ ly, “I am afraid I have offended you.

"It is not his fault that, with all his cleverness, his ease of manner is not quite the ease of a gentleman.” I considered for a moment and then said, timidly: “Won’t you tell me anything more? I am alone in the world and need all the knowledge I can get of the people I live among to guide me in my conuucL” Ho seemed to debate within himself for a moment, and then drawing near said, very earnestly: "Seriously, then, “Alias Christie, I would advise you- to leave the Aiders as soon as you possibly can, even^efore you have got another engagement You are in,the midst of more dangers than you can possibly know of, more probably than I know of myself, more certainly than 1 can warn you against” His voice was very low as he finished, and while wc both remained silent a dark figure suddenly appeared before us, blocking out the light It was Mr. Rayner. Mr. Reade and I started guiltily. The new-comer had ap­ proached so quietly that we had not heard him; had he heard us? Air. Rayner was in the brightest of bumons; and his first words dispelled my fear that he might have overheard the warning that Air. Reade had iuat given me. lie caught sight of me first “At last.

We all went toEther as far as the park gates, where I. Reade left us. "Nice young fellow that" said Mr. Rayner, as soon as the other was out of ear-shot. "Handsome, frank and good-natured.

The shock given me by those few overheard words—“You should not have spoken to her. Don’t you know she comes from the house on the awake half the night, asking m; whether it would be wise to stay ‘ house to which it was plain thi somewhat and I began to feel sleepy, I made up my mind to set down those unlucky words as the prejudiced utter­ ance of some narrow-minded country girl, to whom the least touch of uncon­ ventionality seemed a dreadful thing. a Although Geldham church was only a short distance from the Alders, Mrs. Rayner waa not strong enough to walk; so she and her husband drove there in the brougham, while Haidee and I went on foot. Wo started before them, and Mr. Rayner was carefully helping his wife out of the carriage as wc got to the gate. When she had alighted we all went into the little church. There was a square family pew just In front of ours, which was empty when we took our seats;- but, when I rose from my knees, I found fixed upon me, with a not very friendly stare, the eye* ot a girl two or three years older tfian . myneif, whom I recognized as the own­ er of the voice whicn had said of me. “Don’t you know she comes from the house on the marsh?” By her side, therefore also facing me, was the younger sister, with whom I had talked. As for me, I felt that I hated them both, and was glad when the gentle­ man who was evidently their father changed his position so that he almost hid them from my sight Next to him sat a stout lady, who wore a black silk mantle covered with lace and beads and a white bonnet trimmed with yellow bows and unlikely clusters of roses. Aly heart sunk curiously when I caught sight of the third person in the row, at the further end of thepew. 4 It was Mr. Laurence Reade, my triend of the dog­ cart; and I felt as if a trusted ally had suddenly proved to be an officer in the enemy’s camp. Having found mvself in an'uncongenial household, I had un­ consciously looked forward to seeing again, at some time or other, the only person I had met since I came to Nor­ folk to whom no associations of mys­ tery or melancholy were attached. And now to meet him with those hor­ rid girls! He was their brother evidentiy, for the elder harpooned him sharply with her sunshade several times for dozing during the service; but, when the sermon oegan and he had settled himself sideways in the cor­ ner with the plain intention of sleeping - through the entire discourse, and the ly took the weapon from her and kicked it under the scat I rejoiced &t this, and so missed the text, which waa given out during the struggle. When the sermon was over, and wo filed out of church, I noticed that old Mr. Reade exchanged a few words with Mr. Rayner rather stiffly, while the two girls deliberately turned their heads away from us. But Air. Laurence Reade hung back behind the rest of his family, and stopped to -■peak to Haidee, <rho was holding my hand. He asked her to give him a kiss, and she refused—and I was very ’lad. Of course, it was my duty to reouke her for rudeness, but, instead, I ooked carefully the other way and tretended not to be aware of the little comedy. •‘ Oh, Haidee, you shouldn’t turn nway from your friends!” said he, in iis musical voice, with rather more ot rrave reproach than the occasion, rejuired—to a child. At dinner Air. Rayner was very severe indeed in his comment* upon •ustic wits and rustic governors, call­ ing them sheep and donkeys and other things. Then he grew' merry and nade jokes about them, and I ■aughed; and, finding in me an ap­ preciative listener, bis spirits rose still 'ugher, and 1 thought before dinner was over that I had never heard any me talk more” amusingly. I think Mrs. Rayner made only one remark, md that was when I was furtively wiping some tears of laughter from my tyea, she asked me: "Do you care to go to church this ifternooD, Miss Christie?'’ I suppose I looke<| rather snubbed, for Mr. Rayner broke in: “Poor girl, how frightened you look it the thought! Know then. Alias Christie, that it is not one of the condi­ tions of residence under this moist but hospitable roof that you should trudge backward and forward to church all Sunday, with intervals of pious medita­ tion. We never go ouredves more than once. But I had quickly made up mv mind that I had better go. Indeed, 1 liked going to church; and, even if I had not acquired fhe taste already, the dullness of the Sundav before—which I had spent in the drawing-room with Airs. Rayner and Haidee would have made me love it. So I said I should like to go, and, as there was no afternoon servioe at Geldh&m, Mr. Rayner told me toe way to church at Gulliiiglmrough. the next pariah, which was not far ofL It was a sultry summer afternoon, but to be alone and out of the somber atmosphere of the Alders was a relief. which I saw a big square white house; an American chxxr stood on the grass In the shade, and a young man In a light suit, with cravat hanging loose, was lying at full length in it He had a cigar in his mouth, a book in his hand and on a rustic table was a half empty glass containing some liquid with ice in it I only glanced that way but recognised the gcntlema> as Air. Laurence Reade. He saw me, I think* for ho started up and coughed; but I was looking the other way, and I thought best not to,hear him. As I turned the angle of the park, I glanced again at the white house, ana I saw. with a little surprise, Mr. Reade run­ ning toward it I got to church in very good time, and, being given a seat in'thc chancel. I could watch the country people as they filed in; and just before service began, Mr. Laurence Reade, having exchanged his light suit for church­ going attire, strode up the middle aisle and banged the door of his pew upon himself. . And, remembering how cool the iced drink looked, and how cozy the arm-chair appeared, I thought it did him credit to come to church the sec­ ond time. The sky had grown very dark by the time service was over, and the occa­ sional rolling of distant thunder threat­ ened a storm. It was nearly half an hour’s walk to the Alders; my way lay where there was little or no shelter, and my umbrella was a small one. However, there was nothing tp be done but to ctart. I had left all chance of shelter behind me, when the rain came pouring down. I stopped, gathered up my skirt round me, gave a glance round to see that no one was in sight, and then ran for my life. Beforelhad gone many yards, I heard some one running after me, and then Mr. Reade’s voice calling: "Miss Christie!” I ran on without heeding him, ashamed of my plight; but he would not take the rebuff, and in a few more steps he had caught me up, and taking away my smtul umbrella, was bolding his large one over me. He opened a goto to the right that led into a field. "But this is the wrong way. I have to turn to the left, I know," said I ••There is a shed for carts here where we shall get shelter,” said he. And in a few minutes we reached it, and I found myself under a^low root watching the downpour outside. A few days before I might have found something to enjoy in thia curious en­ counter with my fnend of the dog-cart, but the rudeness and suspicion of hi* sisters had made me shy with him So I merely sat there and looked straight in front of me, while he, infected by my reserve, leaned against the aide ol the shed and looked at me. “I wish it would leave off,” I re­ marked, stupidly, at length “Are you in such a hurry to get back to the Alders? It is no dryer than it is here." “But at least one can change one’t boots.” “Have you^g?Jt your feet wet? You will be laid up with rheumatic fever, or something of the kind,” said he, anx­ iously. “Oh, no, no,” said I. “It isn’t that. But Air. Rayner will be anxious.” “Mr. Rayner; and Mrs. Rayner, won’t she be anxious, too?” “Oh,. Mrs. Rayner is never anything! At least -I mean," said I. “she it sc reserved that—” “That you like Mr. Rayner best?” “Oh, yes!” He drew himself up rather coldly. “So do most ladies. I believe.” “One can’t help liking a person who talks and laughs, and is bright and kind, better than one who never speaks, and glides about like a ghost, and looks coldly at you if you speak tc her.” “Perhaps she means to be kind,” said he, gently. "Then she ought to make her mean­ ing plainer. She can’t think it is kind to fix her eyes upon me as if I were something not human, if I laugh; to give me her hand so coldly and unresponaively that it seems like a dead hand in mine, and at other times to take no more notice of me than if I were not there. Besides, she knows that it is the first time I have ever left home, and she must see sometimes that I am not happy.” Thcq,! remembered that I had no right to make this confession to a com­ parative stranger, and added, quickly: “I ought not to talk as if I were illtreated. I am not at all. If she would only not be auite so cold!” “ Perhaps ber own troubles are very heavy andjiard to bear. ” “Oh.no, they are not!" I replied, confidently. “At least, she has a kind husband and a pretty home, and every­ thing she can wish for. And I think it is very Bullish of her to give herself up to brooding over the memory of her dead child, instead of trying to please her living husband.” “Herdead child!” “Yes. She had a boy who died some years ago. and ahe has never got over IL That is why she is so reserved. ” “Oh! How long ago did this boy die?” asked he. in a curiously incred­ ulous tone. “About five years ago, I think Mr. Bay ner said.’’ “Oh, then it was Mr. Rayner who told youF” As we entered the garden gates I saw a woman’s figure on our right I could not recognize her on account of the darkness and only guessed it was Airs. Rayner. The idea of those great weird eyes watching me made me un­ comfortable. Mr. Rayner did not look that way and left me in the hall, going to his study, while I went into our little school-room to put my church service The French window had not Deen closed, and I walked up to it to see whether the rain had come in. The sky was still heavy with rain-clouds, so that it was quite dark indoors, and while I could plainly see the woman I had noticed stepping over the flower­ beds on the lawn, and making her way to the front of the house, she could not see me. When ali<’ camo near enough tor me to distinguish her figure, I saw that it was not Mrs. Rayner.but Sarah, the housemaid. I stood rather in awe of this woman; she was so tall and so thin, and had such big eager eyes and such a curiously constrained manner. She was only a few steps from the win­ dow where T stood completely hidden by the curtain, when Mr. Rayner passed quickly and caught her arm from be­ hind. She stopped short with a sort of g"P“What were you doing in the shrub­ bery just now, Sarah?” be asked, quiet­ ly. "If you want to take fresh air in the garden, you must keep to the lawn and the paths. By walking over the beds you do damage to the flowers— and to yourself. If you can not re­ member these simple rules, you will have to look out for another situation.” She turned round sharply. "Another situation! MeV’ •'Yes, you. Though I ahould be sor­ ry to part with such an old servant, yet one may keep a servant too long.” “ And Mrs. Rayner has never got over "Old!

Mr. President, Ladles and tlemen : The subject which I Gen­ have chosen for the occasion is in relation to the neccessity of a parole law and its attending obligations. I did this for tb&jtaaon that it appeared to me to be the1 moat appropriate one 1 oould select. It seems that after all these years of apparent indifference the people of the great state of Michigan have awakened to the fact that stale radical legislation is absolutely necessary for the better management of the criminal por­ tion of her population. For yean they ueem to have presistently refused to be profited by the experience of sister states in respect to tbe measures in operation-there, and which have proven so beneficial, not only as affording a means for the better probation to soci­ ety, but for that greater desideratum, the reformation of the criminals. (While I place the greater emphasis upon reformation, 1 do not wish to have it understood that they are separ­ ate questions, for they are not, since reformation is morally the method by which society is protected.) When the „ thinking men of the state have arrived at their present convictions, out of pride, in that they do not like to see Michigan relegated to a second position as a progressive state, whether it is out of charity, tbe continued demand on legislation for appropriation for new prison shops, tbe enlargement of old ones, new sell blocks, or even the building of a new prison, all of which is disproportionate to tbe natur­ al increase in population, or whether it arises from a better and more enlight­ ened conception of tbe relations which should exist between those who have, and those who have not erred, I »m unable to say for a certainty, although I believe and earnestly hope that it is tiie resultant of all these influences. One man may have considered the auestion from one of these standpoints, le next from another, and so on. but it matters little in the abstract which idea predominated as each one is good and sufficient and the result has been the same, viz:,That tbe'parole system is an indispensible factor in any scheme of prison management designed for the better protection to society and for tbe reformation of the criminal. The history of tlie treatment of crim­ inals from ancient time down to the present day is but a corroboration of tbe prevailing ideas among prison re­ formers of this age and Is replete with lessons for our present law makers. They could learn, if tb£y would, that tbe more barbarous and inhuman the \ treatment, in whatever country or age Nt occurred, the more numerous were the crimes committed, and a correla­ tive sinking of the moral standard of tbe populace. The abuses of the present day, while not so obvious to the masses, as to the thinking few, must in time be­ come so and be relegated to the rear, where, being left without support and unable to keep up with the progress of the times, they may properly be allowed to fall into a state of harmless neglect, otherwise oblivion, in company with kindred ideas concerning criminals and their curse which are now gennerally conceded to have belonged to, and is comprising a part of that celebrated epoch in history known as the Proto­ plasmic Era. in former times men were imprisoned more with the idea of punishing the individual and ridding society of bis presence than as a means of reforming the law-breaker himself. In fact this Idea still remains in many states as may be seen from the fact that most all of their prisons, in­ cluding this one, were nuilt with the idea of punishment predominating. Such side issues as the reformation of the criminal and the proper protection to society, as we understand it, were secondary considerations and might come about incidentally. But happily for us, happily for all, the Christian and philanthropic ideas concerning the ulterior aim of modern prison manage­ ment are bringing about wonderous changes for the better, and the prevail­ ing thought among enlightened men today is to make reformation the prime feature of imprisonment with punish­ ment incidental. Tbe world has come to believe that solong as hereditary taints multifarious as their manifestations are—moral, social and other environ­ ments—play tach an active part as predisposing causes of criminal acts, those who may have been fortunate enough to escape them, should at least be compassionate toward their less fortunate brethren, and in consequence of this fraternal feeling men are not blamed so much nowadays for falling into the mire as they are for persistent­ ly refusing to help themselves or be helped out of it. Of course it may be sound policy to permit them to flound­ er about in the mud until their system becomes thoroughly saturated with its oflensiven«as, in fact till its noxious effluvia has permeated every tissue of their bodies; but just as soon as they declare they have had enough, that they are sick of their surroundings and will make an honest endeavor to walk on dry land in the future, then it is the duty—nay, I believe, the imperative obligation—of the legislature to have at hand some effective means of assist­ ing them. It was hoped that the advisory board would prove to be an effective means m bringing about an equalization of sentences approximately at feast for like offenses, because it was for this purpose chiefly that General Alger urged its creation in bis message to the legislature, but I believe it is generally conceded that this same board with its ironclad and arbitrary rules is more effective in presenting worthy applica­ tions for executive clemency than in facilitating them. I know of one vic­ tim who spent nearly a hundred dol­ lars and he wouuld nave spent five hundied if he had had it, in trying to comply with one or their requirements. Failing in thia he had the supreme sat­ isfaction ot seeing his case registered and consigned to a pigeon hole, or to some other place. An executive clemency cannot be extended to all the worthy ones, simp­ ly because the proper discrindnation con not-lie made; it is left for the parole Jaw io bring about in it* way, this de­ sirable equalization. Many a man has received an excessive sentence, not be­ cause justice demanded it, but because gruutfed, or mayhap a dyspeptic judge saw fit to impose it. In my opinion, if we had a board simply a matter of business, and they composed of men of the sam« temper­ have only lately demonstrated that ament and moral good, of sterling there is at least one day in the year integrity, empowered by law to deter­ when the lion and the iamb may lie mine tbe length of time each man down peacefully together (without the should serve them, the flagrant wrong lamb being inside the lion either.) of disproportionate sentences for But, generally speaking, our interests like offences committed nnder like are aa distinctly opposed to each other circumstances would be done away as day is to night, and in any institu­ with.

E. sends to the Atlanta ' Constitution the story of btouching incidentofthel&te war which has never before been told in print: During the great battle of Gettysburg, and while the chances of success were about equally poised in the balance, a young man from Atlanta, as delicate as a girl, but ns brave os Napoleon, received a terri­ ble wound from a cannon shot, which laid open his vitals so that his heart was actually seen to pulsate bv his companions, while ho was yet talking and telling them of the preparation for the change then at hand, and his will­ ingness to meet his Master. Soon af­ ter he was shot General Lee came near. When the wounded man saw him he expressed a desire to shake his hand and bill him fatewell. General Lee was called and rode up to the woundeil man. who was raisetl to his feet by two of his companions, and, holding Ids en­ trails with his left hand, he extended the other to the great captain, saying: “Good-by, General. I am killed* but I have been a gixxl boy, and am pre­ pared to go. I shall meet you in heav­ en.” General Lee gave him a hearty shake of the hand and said: "Good-by, my l»oy. I shall try to meet you on the other side." This young mo*was Lewis Morris, of Company “D," 44th regiment, Georgia volunteers, who was known to hii\ comrades as “ Crick " Morris. He had a large kinsfolk in and around At­ lanta, among them Councilman Morris, a brother. Probably some of them never heard of his dramatic, heroic and triumphant death until now. The scene presented is not overdrawn. It was witnessed by many of the sun­ burnt veterans of Jackson’s old corps, a few'of whom are yet living to testify to the fact that all who saw it, includ­ ing General Lee himself, shed tears. “Crick" Morris died a few minutes after General I/ce rode off, and, like thousands of noble men, is sleeping qui­ etly to-day in an unknown grave.

No one is allowed to ace him. Mr. McGeehan camo to Chicago about trade. He left a lucrative^ position in Philadelphia some seven weeks ago. He also, it is said, left a wife And an interest­ ing family in that city, an l'since he came to Chicago he has done little work. He sought employment at Pullman, obtained, it, and worked a few day*. Tho major portion of the time, it is alleged, he spent in saloon*, where bo was a boon compan­ ion of tbe enemies of Dr. Cronin end a eulogist of Cronin's most malignant antag­ onists.

Chicago McGeehan hat associated with the enemies of Cronin and that be expressed an enmity for tho doctor,- even going so far as to make threats against him. It is said that his remarks reachinc the ears ot Cronin the letter remonstrated with Mc­ Geehan. These statements were made by several prominent Irish-Americans who were told .-.j McGeehan's detention, They also said —-1 that Dr. Cronin mrt McGeehan ono one day , opposite his office on Clark street, and challenged, him to re|*cat the statements bo-had made concerning him (Cronin) in a Randolph street saloon. McGeehan, they say, made a baiting apology. These men say that since Lc Caron's testimony was published McGeehan has tried to impress ou his friends that Cronin wn one of the inform­ ers referred to in Lo Caron's evidence. He was put down a* one of tbe men whom Le Caron said would be executed if their namea were publishedTbe persons wno gave the foregoing in­ formation say that McGeehan answered to tbe description given by Mrs. Conklin of tbe man whojdrove tho buggy from the house on North Clark street the night of Cronin's disappearance. They say be also answers to tho description of ono of tho Williams bro tiers given by Mrs. Carbon.

When Dr. Cronin remon­ strated with McGeehan about his threats it is said that McGeehan was furious and liecame more violent and more frequent in his denunciations, of tho doctor than he bad been before. Now, the question arises, did his threats have any bearing on subsequent developments* Did bis com­ panions here sympathies with hi* views! it is rumored that he was acquainted with P O.

Tho chief said ho had been deceived in some thinjQi aud would make a thorough investigation. One of tbe most surprising features of Coughlin's connection with tlie ca.se is that Mike It halon, another detective who, with Coughlin, was detailed on the Cronin cas->, is a brother-in-law of Sullivan, the ice man. Coughlin has admitted to Chief Hubbard that Smith, the man who b-ok the white horse from Diuan's stable at Coughlin's order, -gave him *3 to pay for tbe horse and afterward left tho city for New Mexico.

The most startling rumors have been cir­ culated regarding the enmity of Detective Coughlin to Dr. Cronin nnd tho probable friends of Dr. Cronin are outspoken in their assertions that Coughlin was a spy in the local camps of tbe It ish Revolutionary brotherhood.

But she interrupted him in a tone of half-suppressed savagery that made me shudder. Looking at her, talking to her, not be­ cause he wants to make use of her, but because he likes her, loves her”—she hissed—“as he has never loved any of his poor tools, though they were hand­ somer a thousand times than this wretched girl! If I thought that, I’d ?>oil her beauty for her, and for him, if hanged for it!” Oh! what an awful woman! And all because poor little Jane was younger and prettier than herself, and had had the misfortune to attract the attention of her unprincipled lover! The man spoke again, this time very gravely. “Safty, don’t do anyting foolish,” said he. “Jim isn* a fool, and he knows how to have thrown could tell Mr. Rayner. There was nothing for it but to- hope that little Jane would be wise and leave off pro­ voking Sarah, ’ and that Providwioe would bring Sarah herself to a better mind. But what a drendful woman to have The next morning I woke up with that strange feeling of oppression membered what it was, and tried to shake off the recollection of the talk in the plantation and of Sarah’s vindic­ tive tones. 1 looked at her searchingly as she came In demurely to prayers with the cook and poor little Jane, and I could not help thinking that Tom Parkes, or “Jim?’ as the stranger had called him—but then a man of such a desperate character as they had de­ scribed him to be woujd have a dozen aliases—might be excused in preferring the simple little kitchen-maid Jane to that forbidding-looking shrew. I had seen Tom Parkes two or three times and should have supposed him to be stolid and good-humored, and cer­ tainly not the man to rule the formi­ dable Sarah with a rod of Iron. That afternoon when Haldee and I returned from a walk we passed the servant’s entrance. Tom Parkes was sitting out­ side the door, eating bread and cheese; while opposite to him stood Sarah and Jane, Doth apparently in high good humor. One held a jug and the other a glass, and they seemed united in the desire to please him. They were talk­ ing about kisses, and I think they were going to illustrate tho subject, when Tom suddenly became aware of our presence, ana, taking his arm from around Jane’s waist, remained stand­ ing until we had gone by. What a strange contradiction this scene seemed to give to what I had overheard on the night before! Sarah was scarcely the sort of a woman to exercise great self-control when among her equals; yet here she was, all laugh­ ter and rough gayety, submitting in the best of temper* to receive only the smaller of Tom’s attention with her rival Jone. That evening, when tho time came for Guizot, I remembered, with a pang of conscience, that I had left that nice­ ly-bound book out in the damp all night. I hurried through tho planta­ tion, eager to see whether it was much injured; but, when I got within a few yards of my nest, I saw Mr. Rayner there before me, standing with the un­ lucky volume in his hand. If I had been conscience-stricken be­ fore, when my guilt was known only to myself, what did I feel now that it was discovered? I had not the courage to face him, but turned, and was sneaking back toward the house when he called me: “Miss Christie!” I went back slowly, murmuring: “Yes, Mr. Rayner,” and blushing with mortification. He was turning the leaves of the book as I came up. “lam very sorry, Mr. Rayner,” I began, with a voice which threatened tears, “I was inexcusably careless—in­ deed I will never bring one of the library books out again? r “ And why not.

I have just the same admiration for the successful diamond robber that you have for Bobin Hood and Jack Sheppard.” “Oh, but that is different!” I broke in. hotly—for I always put down “Robin Hood” as “my favorite hero.” ••Oh. yes, it is very different, I know!” said Mr. Rayner, maliciously. “Robin Hood wore Lincoln green and carried a picturesque bow and arrow, while Sheppard’s costume, in colored prints, is enough of itself to win any woman’s heart.” “Well, Mr. Rayner, their very ap­ pearance, which you laugh at, shows them to be superior to the modem burg­ lar.” “Have you ever seen a modern burg­ lar?” “No; but I know what they look long, like.

With a good-humored smile the doctor lit a lamp and retired into a small apartment that ho was pleased to term his labora­ tory. The lime passed slowly to Lura after the departure of the doctor. She was consumed with eagerness and impatience and was soon up pacing tbe floor. Slowly the minutes waned. » Lura thought of Grace and Lucy, and -wondered if Captain Btarbright would en­ deavor to effect an entrance during her absence. Sbe was in a ferment until Dr. Colton returned after on absence of half an hour. “Well?” questioned tbe girl, as sbe gazed into the grave faoo of the doctor. He folded the paper and pinchod it tightly be­ tween his fingers and regarded tho girl be­ fore him fixedly. “ Where did you get this, Lura Joyce!" “Do you suspect what it i*F’ “Medicine." “I thought so!" exclaimed Lura. Then she stood for some minutes regarding the doctor with clasped hands, paling checks and labored breathing. “Wheredid you ge.lt!" again demanded Dr. Colton. “Arthur, I took that powder from a stand in the room occupied by Grace Penroy at Lone Hollow; it is one of many similar that sho baa been swallowing during the past three weeks—” “Good heavens!

I think I shall forbid it in the How eool he was after what had happened earlier in the evening. “Indeed," retorted Lura. “And you have worried, too, no doubt, betwixt hope and profoundly happy." “You continue to think harshly of me, my “1 protest that you wrong me.' “How is Grace I" trary to your orders, 1 am told.

I went to town to consult a doctor with regard to your case." “You are very kind, and I am so selfish," murmured tbo sick girl, and then she began selfish," soothed Lura, kissing her cousin tenderly. Acd then came a light rap on the door. It proved to bo Captain Btarbright to in­ quire after the sick girl. “The miserable hypocrite," thought Lura after ho had gone. Bho remembered the discovery she had made that-night, and she oould only regard the Captain with feelings of the utmost loathing. Dr. Colton had sent medicine by Lura to be given at stated intervals, for tho purpose of counteracting tho poison that Grace had been swallowing during tho past throe weeks, and hud promised to come over him­ self within a short time and personally take charge of tho case. Of course it was impossible for Lura Joyce to be always with her patient, but usually she contrived to learo the black maid in the room wbon sho was absent, if only for a few minutes. Greco felt'deddedly better in twenty-four hours after beginning the new treatment tain Btarbnght realized that Lura had as­ sumed to doctor Grace, but he did not know of tho discoveries she had made. Ho had become impatient and uneasy, howev­ er, and was anxious to have tho tragedy come to a speedy termination. “ A drop of Mother Cabcra’s cough drops will do it. I will risk it, and put this un­ certainty at rest forever," reasoned tho scheming Captain. One afternoon, while Lucy sat in the room alone with Grace, Captain Btarbright put his head into the room, and said: “ Lucy, your mistress is feeling bad and wants you to come to her at onoe. ” “Missus Lurai" “Deed, mass*—” "Go at once,” ordered tho Captain, and a* the maid stood in deadly terror of him when ha was angry, *bo forgot her promise to Lura Joyce and left the room. Captain Btarbright stood alone. He hurriedly closed and locked the door, then walked over and glanced at Grace, who, ho was glad to note, lay In a seml-utfconscious doze. “Al last!" bo muttered. Then ho turned hurriedly to tho little stand which contained s glass half filled Ho lifted tbe glass, glanced at it an In­ stant, then drew from his pocket a small glaaxtoppered vial aud poured a few drops into the glass of water. "That will do tbo work at once and leave no trace. I was a fool not to havo resorted to tho swift method before." Secreting tbo-gial, ho bent over tbo bod. “Grace, just a sip of .this, please.” With one hand be lifted the girl’s head, and pusstfd forward the gloss with tbo other. “What is it!” questioned the sick girl, wearily, not fully comprehending. “A little cordial that Lura prepared.” Grace opened her lips to partake. “ Stop. Grace, for your life I There'» drafA <n the Qian!" uttered a voice, husky with intense excitement. CHAPTER XXX. Captain Btarbright started back with a wild thrill of alarm at bis heart. The voice seemed at hi* very elbow, and in his nerv­ ous excitement he dropped tho glass to the floor. It was shattered, and tho poison dissipated over the carpet. Grace lay breathing hotly, quite as startled as tbo Captain. Lura had not as yet dared whisper ber suspicions to the sick girl, and so the accusing voice frightotmd Grace almost to fainting. •• What wa* ill" questioned Grace, after aa instant of terror. Captain Btarbright turned swiftly to tbe door without reply. Ho realized now that tbe warning must have been sent through tbe keyhole. He crossed the carpet, turned tbe key in tho lock and opening tho door sprang quickly Into tho upper ball. Not ton foot distant be saw the form of a man mov­ ing swiftly away. He recognized the intruder a* Louis “Halt there, you scoundrel I" Bukthe young huntor evidently wished to avoid the Captain, and began moving at a swifter gait. Then tho Captain started tn pursuit, resolved on bringing tho fellow to account for his interference. Down the hall, up a flight of narrow stairs to tho garret tho young hunter fled, and here in the shadows tho Captain lost bls enemy. Ho groped about for fully half an came full upon Lura Joyce. ‘■What in tho name of ail that is lovely were you doing up yonder,CaptainT" the girl demanded, with a piercing look. “See whom!" “That infernal hunter, Fingal." “Of course not.

In the afternoon Captain Btarbright left tbe vicinity of Lone Hollow on foot. He, too, wa* gloomy and dissatisfied. The im­ mense fortune lay almost within his grasp, “Lura Joyce has thus for proved my evil genius," muttered tho Captain. "I would certainly have long since been in undisputed possession of the Vendible fortune but for her. Fool that I was to ever pay coart to such n strong-minded woman. Sho fotaw* mo like a cat, watches and suspects some­ thing wrong always. I believe she knows that Grace was dying from a subtle poison, and has determined to thwart, perhaps to crush me. ButJ am too clever to permit a girl to corner me. I will crush her and that young hunter, Fingal. Ho, too, seems to be in the league against tno. Confound Gripes 1 Ho ought to have put that will through tho court before this." Tho Captain followed tbe path that led to tho Cabcra cabin. When ho reached tho place ho tried tbo door. It opened to his touch and he entered. Ho found tbe place deserted. Tho Cuberas had gone, he knew not whither, and ho hoped that he might not see them again. If one of them Uvod, how­ ever, be know that be might expect a visit at tbo end of six months. The house was gloomy, and tho sound of his feet sent a cold chill over him. Ho passed out and walked to tho edge of tho gulch, a little way off. The depths were shadowed and gloomy. Autumnal frosts had changed the leaves to brown and yellow in places, and the air that sighed through tho trees was chill and uncomfort­ able. There seemed premonition of an early winter in its breath. While ho stood there with the grim shad­ ows of tho short afternoon lengthening into tho gloom of night. Captain Btarbright thought of tho post, of tho year gone hi which his brain had schemed and plotted for self-aggrandizement. struck tho first blow for tho Vendible mill­ ion amid tho hills of California,” he mut­ tered, inaudibly, while bis thoughts ran on. “Thcu came tho sudden death of tho other, and my coming to Lone Hollow to win tho friendship of an easily-duped old man.

It was ghastly white. There was a rope about tbe neck, a dinging stone, drip­ ping wet! Btarbright gazed in silent hor­ ror at bis murdered victim. It was the face of the dead man of the pool!

He passed to the end of the hall, lifted a window and peered out into the night, listening intently. tered. “I hope Dr. Colton and his patient will not disappoint me to-night. To watch that villain, and guard a precious Life, without making a balk, is tiresome aud dangerous. It must be time, too, for that infamou* Captain to como nosing about.

Ho wa* out until late last night, and seemed pale und agi­ tated when be returned." Tho reader can readily guess why the Captain was agitated on the previous night. The apparition at tbe pool had completely unnerved him for a time. On the morning following he had driven away toward Btonefleld, assuring both Lura and Lucy that he Intended to be absent several'days. Fingal had been where he overheard this, but be had not believed'lL After listening a minute Fingal closed tbo window and turned his steps toward Grace's room. He found tho door closed, and at once applied his hand to the knob. It refused to yield. • Dropping to the floor Fingal attempted to peer Into the room through the keyhole. No light glimmered there, and then the young hunter seemed to realize for the first time that something wa* wrong inside the sick chamber. Ho thrust a small reed that he picked from the floor into tho keyhole. He then made a discovery. Tho bole bad been stoutly plugged I Something surely was wrong. Ho grasped the knob and shook the door. ' No answer from within. A chill shot to the heart of Fingal. He called the name of Lucy and of Grace, but received no answer. A terrible fear op­ pressed tbe young hunter's heart as he turned from the door and hurried to the stair*. He sped down these, three steps nt a time, and came near landing in tbe arms of the colored maid. “Lucy, you here!" demanded F.ngal, hoarsely. “Who is with Grace!” “Miss Lura, I ’spect." “I do not believe lu" “But I left her dar—" “Something is wrong," Interrupted Fin­ gal, seizing and shaking tbo maid furiously. “ You haven't been faithful, girl. Tho door to Grace's room is locked. Havo you the key!" • “ Deed, marse, I hasn’t" Fingal stood irresolute for one moment, then sprang to the outer door, opened it and passed out into tho night Ho hast­ ened to the sido of tho building, to a spot where a light glimmered from an upper window, tho window of Grace Penroy's room. For an instant the young man stood irresolute; then, seeming to remember something, be sped to the rear of the old bouse and ip less thana minute returned bearing iu his hands a ladder. It was but short work to place this up against tbe side of the house. It just reached the window-silL A moment later the young hunter was mounting swiftly upward. He soon gained tbe top and although tho curtains were drawn ho found a crevico through which he could peer into the room. What bo saw caused him to start and nearly fall from the ladder. His hands clinched the stone sill until the blood seemed ready to burst from beneath the nails. In the center of the room stood Captain Btarbright, with a look on his face that was actually terrifying. It was only with the utmost effort that Fingal held himself from falling. Tbe Captain’s hat lay on tho floor. Hi* and ho was evidently meditating someterrible deed. Fingal saw him move toward tbo bed, gaze for one moment at the placid face of the apparently sleeping girl, then bend forward with the look of a fiend, and twine his fingers about the throat of his unsuspecting victim. “ Great heaven t ho .would strangle her!" gasped Fingal, hoarsely, almost losing hi* bold in tbo intensity of his horror. With a mighty effort be steadied himself, seized the sash, lifted it-awiftiy and plunged head­ long Into the room.

You had tho reputation of being a generous gentleman, with few bad habits, and all your acquaintance* looked upon you as an honorable man." “Really,” sneered the Captain, “you do me proud, Dr. Colton." “You may feel less so before I am through with’a little history I propose to relate.” “I pray you, don’t put youraelf out on my account, doctor." “No, but on several accounts I will pro­ Pcnroy, Grace's father, and became very Intimate with him.

Overseers should remember that our township has a sufficient quantity of good plank on hand and they should not let any defective bridges in their districts go without repairing them. The plank will be found at D. B. Cooper's. .

At the regular election held in their hall on Monday night June 3d, tbe following brothers were elected to fill the different elective officers of the Masonic lodge: N. G., Herman J. Wheeler; V. G.» John Wunderlich; R. S., Frank P. Palmerton; treaaurer, John Velte. The meeting passed ofl pleasantly and all seemed to work har­ moniously together. Our people are taking the advantage of their new facilities of transportation between here and Hastings and every morning Quds an anxious crowd at the depot waiting the arrival of the 9:30 train. The dreariness of a 13 mile travel over all kinds of roads and in all kind* of- weather that our people have always been subject to is now overcome and they, can go to the county seat do matter what the road cr weather ia, with a full degree of comfort. Don’t forget that we take subscrip­ tions for the Nrahyille News,. collect back pay on same, give rates on all kinds of job work and deliver it free of charge at our office, and look after thk business part of the paper gener­ ally, and we are also rtady at all times to publish items of interest that may be handed us, to supply strangers with a sample of our paper and show him its advantages and aak for bis patro nage, all thia v^e feel at liberty iu doing and at the same time do not try to injure any other paper. Mr. Tolles, of Lake Odessa, has rent­ ed die L. D. Warner building and will open up a restaurant there in a short time; thus another much felt want will be Buppliod, and we can say to strang­ ers and others, that we have a place where a hungry person can be accom­ modated without begging for the privi­ lege of getting a meal aud paying for it. We are sure our people will give it a liberal support. Let them come. Efery week bring* some new enter­ prise here. Now for a furniture store and our word for it, we will not have to wait long before someone will see the opening and take advantage of it. There will be a tent meeting held here, commencing on Wednesday eve­ ning, June 19th, and continuing until Sunday evening, the 38d. The follow­ ing ministers will be present and assist in the services : Revs. A. P. Moors, of Ionia; Jacokes, of Lyons; Van de Walker, of Orange; Arney, of Danby; Bennett, of Lake Odessa; Weyant, of Saranac; Keiller, of Bowne; Townsend, of Freeport; Rowland, of Hastings, and August F. Nagler, of Sheridan. Meetings will be held daily st two o’clock in the afternoon and eight in the evening. All are cordially invited. As predicted, Wopdland will hold a big celebration here the forth. The necessary funds have been subscribed and we have the material for tbe rest. Nashville and Hastings will not cele­ brate and we will draw largely from those places. Of course our neighbors at Lake Odessa will celebrate after we kept quiet last year to let them have every advantages to show off their town besides furnishing them with nearly half their crowd. They recip­ rocate by endeavoring to choke us off this year, but nevertheless Woodland czn hold its own and perhaps when they want to celebrate again we will feel just like doing the same thing. One of the principal amusements at our fourth of July celebration will be a prize shooting for a prize of <5.00 and the championship of tho county. Each dub competing to consist of ten members, all to belong to the town or yillage that they represent. The gun to be used is to be a 22 calibre and tbe target to be what is known as a bell target. Tbe distance to be 90 feet in the open air. Each club to have 50 shots to be shot asfollows:|each mem­ ber to shoot 4 shots apice and tbe re­ maining ten shots to be shot by any member or members that the captain may designate. Tbe club making the greatest number of counts out of the fifty shots to be declared, the winner. Each club entitled to a referee. Each club to pay down the sum of <2.50 to entitle them to enter as a competing dub and the winning club to have all such proceeds in addition to the regu­ lar prize. Each captain to send in the names of his club to C. S. Palmerton, captain of the Woodland club, as early as Tuesday, June 35th, so their names can appear in the Woodland News of June the 39th. A failure to comply with this rule will debar a club from XTc. 20. competing on tbe fourth following. Knowing m we do that these are a great many men in oar sarroanding country who would rather witness a good team shoot than any other amuse­ ments we hare pereuaded tbe com nittee on program to pat that feature of the games on the bills. This is not sec­ tional bat is open to any of oar neigh­ bors and we hope there will be a large turn out to see the sport which will be conducted with all fairness, aa we wish to know who are the 1>ea\ shots in and among our adjoining townships. north Ida Reilly has a new organ.

Tho simple micro­ scope was very early known, a convex lens of rock crystal having been found in the ruins of Nineveh. The idea of the more perfect form of this instru­ ment is said to have occurred to Hans Zunsz. or to his-^on Zacharias, spec­ tacle-makers in Holland, about 1590. It is very probable, however, that the same idea was suggested, either acci­ dentally or by way of* experiment, to others. Galileo, for instance, the great Italian astronomer, it is said, had. before 1610, directed a tube fitted with glasses to the observation of small, near objects. He stated, short­ ly after this date, that he had been able to observe through a lens the movements of minute animals, and their organs of' sense. In a letter written in 1614 he says that he has with his microscope "seen - aud ob­ served flies as large as sheep, and that their bodies were covered with hairs, and they had sharp claws.”—Youth's Companion.

Dlassctsd by the I>oor- Ever}’ country boy who comes into town has more or less experience be­ fore he becomes able to discriminate. Early in life I had been educated to obey orders in tbe same manner a threshing machine takes in wheat— with no respect to individual straws.

My instructions were to admit no person without a ticket I carried them out wisely, as long as every applicant had a ticket But after awhih a man came along and started to walk in. With­ out hesitating. I stopped him, when he showed mo a badge, and said he was a policeman- He was dressed in uniform, to which he called my atten­ tion, and started in again. But in the discharge of duty I knew no police­ man.

D., in the Wo­ man's Journal, there have been revolu­ tions, but all upon the heaven-ordained axis and within the divinely appointed sphere. That marks the Individuality of humanity as co-ordinate with the ranks of intelligence, beneath and above. "He that breaketh a hedge shall be bitten by a serpent," but the field of human privilege and enterprise must be enlarged in spite of the snake*. Let us candidly Inquire whether It Is wisest and most just to hinder or to help the movement now being made on behalf of eo-ordinating women with men all along the lines of industrial, social, educational, governmental and religious engagements. There is no sex in mind. Examples are so numerous of the capabilities of THEN AND NOW. In Washington's time women had scarcely any rights or opportunities out of the domestic circle. A married wo­ man was. a legal nonentity. The hus­ band was the legal guardian of the wlfp, or rather he possessed all the rights of both. In law tho twain were one, and that one was the husband. To-day a wife is in many respects a distinct, independent being in law. She may acquire, hold, convey and will property. She may engage in business, carry on trade, make contracts. She may sue and bo sued, may enforce her rights and ^defend them. Both married and unmarried women have acquired political righto. In cer­ tain territories a suffrage-aqual to that enjoyed by men has been conferred on thorn. In some States they may goto for certain officers and hold certain offices. Everywhere there is a grow­ ing tendency to enlarge the political righto of all women ns there is to en­ large the civii rights of married women. Still more striking has been the open­ ing of a vast and varied sphere for the occupation of women. In literature they have come to the front in large numbers. In trade and industry count­ less thousands are employed. They are found in office and store,' in shop aud factory. A large proportion of the sex have ceased to be dependents. They have become wage-earners and self­ supporters. They arc respected and honored for battling with the neces­ sities ot life and earning their own livelihood. And this vast army of em­ ployed women and girls is destined to increase with every* coming year.—N. Y. Herald. .

The main argument tor women was former­ ly that they could do this and that if they only had the training and tho chance, but now the argument is that, having had tbe chance. they are doing large part of the lines of diclpline in Harvard University pa«aed through tho hands of an exceedingly reeolute wo­ man, in the capacity of clerk, it used to delight me on occasional visit* to her office to see some big athlete standing meekly, hat in hand, before her, en- her inexorable pencil was wrong, and that he had really missed a few recita­ tions less than it recorded.

But while this consideration has its influence, the change was really based upon the principle, first formu­ lated by Horace Mnnn half a century ago, to the effect that tbe educational instinct is akin to parental, and that women, more than men. are fitted to manage children. Certainly the pres­ ent writer had a striking illustration of this in the first country school of which he ever had charge as committee-man. where two successive male teachers had been thrown out of the window into a snow-bank by tho big boys of tho winter school, and k was decided to substitute a woman, who within a few weeks had those very boys enlisted in decorating the walls with Christmas evergreens In general it may bo said that tho more extended employment of women even in public office has come, not from any outburst of theoretical legislation, Lui by tho gradual discov­ ery that they are competent Where they have been elected on school com­ mittees or public charitable boards they have usually been chosen first and the election made valid by law after­ ward. It was not a legislative theory, but the common sense of the commun­ ity which brought it about Because women were the natural custodians of children it seemed fitting that they should be employed first to teach schools, and then to superintend them. Because they were naturally the house­ keepers of the community, it soumed very fitting that they should have some­ thing to do with the joint housekeeping of the poor-house x>f pour-farm. So their experience in dealing with tbe sick fitted them to superintend hos­ pitals, and their frequent necessity of reforming the sinful led to their being put very properly on prison commis­ sions. To all these things they have proved themselves competent, on the whole; and how far It will continue no one will predict.

When we consider that the whole variety in which men are there engaged is but 116, it is plain that wo­ men have in that region but few more doors to open. This opening of the doors settles the-question of compo­ tenoy; that of comparative training, pay, and promotion \nust follow. In these things there is yet much to be gained; but it is evident that tho time will como when all these matters will ba settled, not by mere prejudice, as formerly, but by real competency of hand, eye and brain. Undoubtedly there are employments which are ihtrinsically better suited to women, and others for men; but we "have never yet had the opportunity to determine by fair comparison which these were, be­ cause the whole thing was formerly controlled by a mere tradition, now happily passing away.—Harper's Ba- THE BASIS OF VOTING. Wh*t Should Con*tltut« Ballot. Kll<lbUUy te At one of tho recent hearings before the woman suffrage committee of the Massachusetts Legislature, objection was raised to letting women vote, on the ground that “a large majority ol them are not engaged in any branch of business or industrial occupation.”-' In reply the Boston Globe sensibly says: “It seems to us that this* argument proves too much. It makes business or occupation, and not manhood, woman­ hood pr citizenship, tho basis of voting. But it would hardly be admitted that the consequences that result from tak­ ing business or occupation as tho basis of suffrage. There are largo numbers of gentlemen of leisure, mon who never had any business or occupation, and who never earned a dollar in their Uvea Should they be disfranchised? "On the other hand there are, in this city alone, many thousands of women who have business and occupation, who are compelled to earn their Uvlng by hard and educating contact with tho business world. Shouldn't they have the ballot? If not, explain why the young salesman, standing at the counter of a dry goods store, has a more edu­ cating businees experience than the girl wbo stands beside him and does the same sort of work? . Or why the man who runs a pegging machine in a factory has an occupation better fitting him to vote than tho wonlon who rung a binding machine in the same room? ••It will do to say that women should not have the ballot because a majority of them have no occupation. A majority of them work harder than men. And even if only a minority of them arc engaged in occupations which fit them for voting, .what justice is there in withholding the ballot from that minority? There is only one just basis for suffrage, and that is manhood and womanhood ’’ ‘ The Kirghiz are amonw the most con­ VERY BLIGHT CLEWS. “Tom" Marshall was at one time the favorite hero of the bar In Kentucky* His acumen, his wit. his magnetic power over a jury, whether he hap­ pened to be drunk or sober, gave rise to numberless anecdotes about him. One of the least known is tho follow­ ing: , Marshall, after a prolonged holiday, found himself in a little Inland town, the center of an admiring circle of newly-made friends who were ignorant ot his real position or occupation. Chief among these was a young den­ tist, a hard-working, frugal fellow, who, by dint of strict economy, had saved a few hundred dollar* He was about to be married, had bought a snug little house, and withdrew his money one day from the bank to pay for it. The bargairf was to be completed on the (following day. He carried the money to his chamber, a bmall room back of his shop, and, locking up the roll of bills in his secretary, went to bed. About midnight he was wakened by the flash of a dark lantern in his face. Ho sprang up. A man was climbing out of the open window. His desk was open- and rifled. He rushed upon the thief, wbo fired at him twice and escaped. The poor dentist, on the eve of his wedding-day, was left danger­ ously wounded and penniless. The county was searched for traces of tho thief, but in vain. Marshall took a keen Interest in the matter, questioned the policemen closely, and when they gave up in despair, asked permission to visit tho dentist’s rooms. After $ close search, he found upon the floor a small pellet of burned paper, which he carried home. It was the wadding out of tho thief's pistol. When examined, it proved to bo half of a receipt for water-tax, signed by John Jones, town clerk. The date was entire, but the name of tho man paying his tax was torn off, excepting two letters’/ Pe------- . Mar­ shall at once searched the records of tho town clerk, and found on the givpn date Peter Scott had paid his water tax Peter was arrested, and the money was found in his possession. Marshall soon after left the village, followed by tho blessings of tho grate­ ful dentist and his bride. Long after­ ward they discovered that‘their friend was the famous eccentric lawyer of Kentucky. Another story which lingers in the gossip about tnc courts in tbe same State is of an old lawyer named Hunt, who, in the early part of this century, was known as “the sleuth-hound." so unerring was his pursuit of a criminal On one occasion be was employed to defend a poor colored porter in a bank, accused of robbing the vaults aftor the cashier was gagged and tied. The circumstantial evidence wits cemplcte against the negro, but Hunt was convinced of his innocence. The thief, too, had dropped a bit of cloth on the floor, apparently the torn lining of a hat, about which Hunt's keen scent detected a faint, peculiar per­ fume. “The man who. wore this is a tan­ ner," he said to a detective, There was but one within forty mile* One of tbe dissipated young watched, and was soon detected in passing some of the stolen money. Being arrested, he confessed his guilt, and .Hunt's client was saved. The old saying, “Murder will out,” is true only when some intellect is acute enough to gather the-proof of guilt from trifles which other men neg­ lect—Youth's Companion.

A., and a committee. Tho floral tribute from the commander/ placed on the grave was in the form of Gen. Sheridan's battle flag of crimson immortelles aud white flowers, with n gilt staff resting on an easel of smiiax and asparagus vines. When the last strains of the dirge played by tbe Marine band died away a veteran of the old guard pulled the rope that de­ tached the fastenings and tho flags that covered tho monument fell to the ground. Just at that tbe members of tbo Woman’s Relief corps throw a shower of roses upon the grave. This ended the simple ceremony. The monument Is a plain, broad granite shaft of sharp and strong outline, upon the face of wbich rests the bronze medal­ lion of SAeridou. The bronze medallion shows Sheridan in las-ralief, framed in a laurel and palm wreath with tbo head­ quarters flag for a background. Just enough of tho shoulders and cheat is shown to display the General’s uniform and military de orations of distinction. The artist has taught the most familiar ex­ pression of Sheridan's face -a look of strength without sUrnncss—and tbo whole pose of the head, without seeming con­ strained, is indicative of the determination and ruggedness which were so char­ acteristic of tho aggreesive soldier. Tho likeness is excellent and tbo design is in most perfect taste, suited in its strength and simplicity to tbo character of the man whose life it commemorates. The flag that forms the background is gracefully arranged in folds and the effect of tho curves is heightened by tbe rigid flagstaff which utagonaily projects at tbe top and bottom from beneath tbo drapery. Two corded tassels depend at the left of the fag from tb® spear-like top of tbo staff. The medallion rests against the granite shaft about twenty feet from tho ground. The shaft stands 13 feet high and has a massive appearance. Tbe base is II feet <1 inches broad. The bas-relief is 10 feet from tbo ground.

Notable among tho vast throng was tho wife and daughter of President Harrison, leaning on tbo venerable Dr. vclling of the monument to tho memory of tho heroes of tbo Haymarket massacre. Notwithstanding the steady, unceasing downpour of rain there were not lew than 1,000 people gathered on tho corners in tbe vicinity of the monument when the hour for unveiling arrived.

Every day an old lady would drive out to the camp in > । wagon loaded with cakes, pies, etc., which she disposed of to the half-fam­ ished soldiers at exorbitant prices. , One day she camo out, and among j other edibles was a “squirrel" pie about the size of a cheese. Several of onr boys clubbed together and bought it. The woman ,pocketed the money, and was waiting on some other customers. The men had the pie about half con­ sumed, when tho old lady's little boy. who accompanied her, began to cry Ls if his heart would break. The little fellow was a favorite with the soldiers, and, of course, we tried to pacify him. He would not toll us what he was cry­ ing for. Finally the old lady's patience was exhausted, and she told tbe boy if he did not tell the men what he was crying about she would take tho wagon whip and wear him out. With the tears still streaming down his face he said between his sobs—“Mammy s-s-said if I'd 1-1-let her kill dem pup­ puppies to make dat pie she'd gi-give me de money, an’ she done gone and put it in her own pocket—boo-hoo-oo!" This information came too late, as by this time the pie had vanished from sight. Although there were several attempts made to cause that “squirrel pie to reappear, they were all ineffecttnal. The old lady mounted her wagon and drove away, and we never saw her again.—Hartwell (Ga.) Sun. One Hundred Tears Aro. There was not an iron plow in the United States then. The first iron plow was patented in 1797, but it was a flat failure. The intelligent farmers of New Jersey, upon, the first trial, pronounced the plow not only worth­ less but a great evil, on the ground ’ that “it poisoned the soil" so that seeds would not germinate. About the mid­ dle of tho last century it was not .un­ common in England tnat tho point of the plow w»s shod with iron, and'in 1785 an Englishman invented a castiron share and in 1790 the “land-nide” of the plow. In 1798 Thomas Jeffer­ son wrote an elaborate essay on the proper construction of the mold-board of the plow. But progress was slow, owing to the prejudice and ignorance of tho farmers. In view of the gang, riding, and sulky plows now in use on almost every farm it seems like telling '» dream to say it was nqt until 1804 that David Peacock obtained a patent for a plow having the mold-board and land-ride of cast-iron and separate, while the share was of wrought iron, edged with steel. Good Idea*. Nothing is bo indicative of deepest culture as a tender consideration of the ignorant. There is no bcautifier of complexions or form of behavior like the wish to scatter joy and not pain around us.

The cool weather and excess of rain were generally unfavorable for growing crop* in tbe Stales north of the Ohio River. In the Northwest the coo weather and frosts caused some injury to crops, but in Dakota. Minnesota, and Ne­ braska the general conditions were favora­ ble for wheat and corn, excepting, possibly, the coal weather, which has retarded the growth of corn. In Missouri. Illinois and Kansas, excessive rains and frost’ ore reported m having been Injurlto the corn crop. In Kentucky. Tennessee, Arkansas, and Texas, tho crop conditions were doubtless Improved by the rains, but cool weather was unfavorable and some slight damage occurred from frosts on the low lands. Drought conditions continue In the southern portions of MlssiMippi and Louisiana, while the rainfall In the northern portions of these States was favorable, but the weather was too cool and bud shine insufficient for the growth of cot­ ton plant.

It seems to as that the school board has done rather a foolish thing in put­ ting so many new teachers into our schools this year. Misses Flanagan and Fraser, both known to/be splendid instructors, could have been re­ tained at their old salaries, but would not stand a reduction, and their places must consequently be filled by new in­ structors, who may or may not keep the school up to its present high stand­ ard. It is indeed fortunate that Prof. Bemis has consented to remain, and as far as his personal labors can prevail the school will progress. Mrs. Bemis has been engaged to assist him one half of each day. Mias Lillie Wardell, of Hastings, will fill one of the vacan­ cies, and we understand that a lady from Yipeilanti will fill another.

At Franklin, Ind., two sisters, indignant because a young man deserted one of their family whom be had been courting, followed the door-step gave him a good thrashing. A Texas steer tackled ene of Barnum's elephants on the highway the other day, and the results were eminently satisfactory to every body but the elephant Ho was so well licked inside of three minutes that ho turned tail aud ran away. having lost ten days by sickness, “made it up" at tho end of the term, after all the children had left school, by dally going through all tho forms as Lt they were pres­ ent, thus drawing her salary. Lightning acted strangely in a Middle­ town (Pa.) barn. One largo steer next to the wall was found dead, two next without a hair singed, while the fourth was killed outright. Then it crossed the entry and performed the same feat, the one next the wall and the third one being killed. Oxs ot the most accomplished young la­ dies of Selma, Ala., was hailed on the street by a bystander, who very politely knocked a rat off her bustle, where,it was enjoying a delightful ride. As tho varmint struck tho ground, and the lady saw that it was act­ ually a live rax, she had a lively foot race for some distance. Pmouadly the oldest couple that ever stood before a marriage altar in Ohio is John Shilling and Mrs. Tabitha Ackerman, who have just been made husband and wife at Burbank- The groom is eighty-seven years of age, and thia is his third matri­ monial venture. The bride, who becomes a bride for the second time, ui eighty-three years of age. Both are fairly well to do.

QUEER NOTIONS OF PEOPLE. A Buffalo bachelor has a memorandum book in which be keeps the name of every girl he has ever kissed. He had 923 names on the list the last time bo coiintod up. A queer old man died recently in Stewart County, Go. For thirty years be has do-c all his plowing with one mule, raising crops large enough to support a large family. Every year during that time ho mortgaged the animal to buy supplies. Belonging to the family of which bo was the head are three old maid daughters, who have not been seen by. masculine eyes for y**rs. Men have tried repeatedly to each glimpses of them, but the women always manage mysteriously to disappear. The surrogate of Buffo.k County, N. Y., has admitted to probate a rather novel will, that of Richard L. Peters, of Bouthold, Long Island. It directs the investment of a sum of money, the Income of which shall ceased covered with growing flowers. An­ other request is that a sum bo invested at compound interest for 100 years. The prin­ cipal and interest at the expiration of the time are to be used to erect a monument and celebrate the centennial of his death. Ira Trot, a millionaire coal operator of Scranton, Pa. who is now eighty, waa'an inveterate smoker until he was sixty, when he waa told by his physician that he must quit the habit or die. He has not had a cigar or a pipe between his lips since, but has indulged bis love for tobacco smoke by inhaling it from cigars smoked by others. Ho finally resolved to biro a man to ac­ company him wherever he went, the man's only duty being to smoke a choice cigar as often as one was furnished him, and to blow tho smoke in his employer’s face. His present smoker is a colored man, who has been with binrfor several years. Am old-faahloncd housewife in a Clifton, Pa., farm-house will never permit her hus­ band to be without at least one black sheep in his flock. She has got a notion that it is not healthy to wear stockings with any kind of dye in tho wool, and as she dislikes to wear white hosiery, all her stockings arc made out of natural black wool. Bhe cards the wool into rolls by hand, just an people did three or four generations ago, spins tho rolls herself and knits her own stock­ ings. Once a tree fell on her only black sboep and killed it, and her husband had to bustle around and find another. It took him three days and miles of travel, but he finally came across a black ewe lamb fifteen miles away and bought it. INGENIOUS INVENTIONS; One of the latest inventions is a three­ cornered steel nad that will drive easily and will not split the wood. Ax "opera hat" for ladies has been pat­ en ted by an En gllsh woman, and consists of a hut on a wire frame, trimmed with lace and flowers. It will close similar to a gen­ tleman’s evening hat and can be oat upon Without injury.

It is just as serviceable as the old-fashioned way. A new sort of rum has appeared. It is a boat furnished in the forward part with a heavy cylinder like t hut of a steam engine, fifteen feet long, with a piston-rod twelve inches in diameter.

There Is no crop on the farm that de­ crop. It is the basis of good agriculture. More and finer fruit can bo secured by heavy mulching than by cultivation. Deep cultivation near the roots of small fruits is worse than neglect The roots extend as far from the tree as its entire height; clean and mellow cultiva­ tion should therefore cover a surface twice as wide as its height strawberry runners. Tbe bed must be ex­ amined frequently. An fast as tho runners are pinched off others will appear. * As clover depends more or less upon manure it is safe to say that tbe quantity of manure made and saved on tho farm should determine the fertility of that farm. The breeding and feeding of animals pays to a greater or less extent, the rA turns varying with the knowledge and experience of tho farmer. Dairying, sheep-breeding and hog-raising all pay a living profit if conducted in a business-like manner. Ir the grass be cut moderately early, though there may be a slight loss in weight, thia la much more than counterbalanced by the gain in the digeatibility and padatabllity of the feed, and tho waste from shattering, that usually attends late cutting, is avoided. Who has not noticed bow eagerly cattle prefer the sweet, fragrant bay, a mow of which smells like a huge tea-chest, to tho dull, odorless stuff that some farmers put up! There is a certain time for cutting grass and a certain way of curing it that creasing or crooked limbs. This will ob­ viate heavy pruning in after years. The radish-fly lays eggs, close to the earth, and when batched tho maggots feed on tho roots.

The location of a garden for early veg­ etables should be on a southern slope, sheltered from the northerly winds, with a warm, loamy soli. A garden thus located, with proper care, will mature crops several weeks earlier than if tho location bo an un­ favorable one; but carliness Is usually at the expense of quantity, therefore tho prin­ cipal garden to furnish products for homo use should be on a strong, moist soil, lo­ cated on a gentle slope to the north. Gophers are so numerous in Dakota that they arc a great nuisance to farmers. Fre­ quently the little animals get in a fluid and spoil a day's labor of tho husbandman by digging up tho corn which be has just plant­ ed. A South Dakota man has hit upon the expedient of smoking his seod corn, and he says the gophers won't touch it. He puts it in a sack, hangs tho sack in the upper part of a barrel, then builds a smudge Id the barrel and smokes it just as ho would a To have tho pco-vinebear well it is neces­ sary to apply to the soil a liberal dressing of phosphoric add. One of tho best forms to apply this is in fine ground bone; ten pounds of this for each pint of peas planted, scattered in the drill, will make a wonderful difference in tho number of needs also potash and nitrogen the land should be liberally manured with stable manure, which should be thoroughly mixed with the soil. ODD OCCURRENCES. Yorxxrs recently carried thousand miles), in a twenty-eight-car train. A woman in Baltimore bled to death from a cut on the leg, caused by the breaking of a whisky-bottle that she habitually carried In her stocking. Ax old man from North Carolina went to Plymouth Church cn a recent Sunday to hear Henry Ward Beecher. He hadn’t heard of his death. Miluoxs of minute snails fall in a shower at Tiffin, O. They were alive and crawled away to places of security soon after they reached the ground. The wife of a Wail street coffee broker, in her suit for divorce against him com­ plains that he devoted too much of his time to his toilet and took two perfumed baths a day. A couple waa hud been divorced forty years be fore in California melon a railroad train out In Arkansas the other day. They recognised each other, and, after a short talk, concluded to remarry, and the cere­ mony was performed that evening on reach­ ing Eureka Springs. Ten years ago the superintendent of an Iowa railroad booted^ tramp out of his of­ fice for having tbe check to ask for a pass. To-day that tramp is the superintendent of that same road, while the man who lifted him on his boot keeps a restaurant and sends him over lunches. A bridegroom who created a sensation in Ohio by failing to put in an appearance at the time fixed for his wedding, turned up some days later at his prospective wife’s horns with the explanation that he had been serving a week's sentence in jail for en­ gaging in a little street fuss.

I of the Alders BY FLORENCE WARDEN Romantic Tale of Love Adventure. CHAPTKH VnT soon alter Sarah's somewhat nareh and uncalled-for reproof of my vanity I began to suffer a punishment for it The country air, which had brought unwonted roses to my cheeks while th< weather.was fine and dry, af­ fected me very differently when, in the first days of September, the rain fell daily in a stmuly, continuous downpour that turned part of the marah from a swamp into a stagnant unwholesome lake. The air round tbe house seemed never free from mist: the lower part of the garden that touched tho marsh was a bog; tbe moss grew greener and thicker on the pillars of the portico, the untrimmed ivy that clung round the house and made it so beautiful dripped all day long, and bright green stains grew broa er and broader down the side of that wing of tbe house where Mr. and Mrs. Rayner’s room was. I often wondered why they slept there. I knew by the doors and win­ dows that the ground-floor of th at wing contained two rooms, a large and a 'small one. Mv own was in die same wing, but on the story aboye; and over mine was a turret that looked out high above the trees, but which was not used, so far as I knew. Haidee slept en the ground-floor in a cot in the dressing-room next to her parents’ bed­ room, i knew, while the nursery and ■ervants’ rooms and several spare rooms were on the upper story beside mV own. Why did not Mr. and Mrs. Rayner make one of these their own. and lift themselves out of the reeking damp which must be poisonous to delicate Mrs. Rayner? Even I, who slept in the upper story, soon began to lose my color and my appetite, and to feel at first lanpiid. and then reallv ill. I ■bowed the change more quickly than any one, being loss used to the place: but little fragile Haidee soon followed suit, and grew more wan and listless than ever, until one day, putting her little dry hand in mine, she said: “Yon are getting thin and white, too, Hke mamma and me. We’ll all go away and be angels together. Miss Christie, now you have begun to love me." I burst into tears; I bad begun to love Xhe fairy-like little creature long before, if she bad only known it. And, after that, without any more explana­ tion or comment, the sympathy botween the child and me was perfect But although the little one’s love Vm a great solace it also brought fresh trouble. For in Mrs. Ray­ ner's dull eyes I could see a flame of jealousy when the child would rest her languid little bead upon my knee and say: “Tell me a story, Miss Christie, about fairies.” 1 thought Mes. Rayner very unreasofiable, and from pitying came almost to dtoEke her. It wm unreasonable to exC* to retain tbe child’s undivided aftion when she gave her no attention, and yet at meals, when we all met togetaer, she seemed to look at Haidee wfth strained, wistful eyes, as if she loved the child, yet dared not show it. But what was there to prevent her, ex­ cept the shroud ot reserve she seemed to nave wrapped round herself? The weather had been so bad that for taro Sundays we had not been able to go to choreh at all. So we knew nothmg of what was going on in the parish for two whole weeks. We did not have to wsM until the church-poreh gather­ ing on the followmg Sunday, though; for on the second day after the weather had at last grown fine again, we heard the sound of a hone’s hoofs coming down the drive. Mr. Bayner threw open the window and stepped out on to the broad opaes of gravel before the front of tbe house “Hallo, LaareDce, you are m weiark!

Mrs. Manners was the clergyman's fess I thought, when I heard what a flimsy sort of errand had brought Mr. Reade, that perhaps some other silly Motive had brought him. But I was disappointed. Mr. Reade devoted aH his conversation to Mr. and Mrs. Rayner and did not notice mt ■ven when I made a remark.

As Dr. Dwight, tho celebrated* president of Yale College, seventy odd years ago waa traveling through New Jersey, hi chanced to stop at a stage hotel, in one or its populous towns, for tbe night, says th< New York Ledger. At a late hour of tin same, Mr. Dennie (a once noted writer) arrived also at tho inn, and hod tho mis fortune to learn from tho landlord that hit beds were all paired with lodgers, cxcepone, occupied by the celebrated Dr. Dwight “Show me to his apartment," cxcltumee Dennie; “although lam s stranger to thi Rev. Doctor, perhaps 1 can bargain will him for my lodgings.” The landlord accordingly waited on Mr Dcnnio to the doctor's room, and there lef him to introduce himself. The doctor, al though in his night-gown, cap and slippers and just ready to resign himself to tho ro freshing arms of Bomnus, politely request ed the strange intruder to be seated. Thi doctor, struck with the intellectual pbysi ognomy of his companion, unbent bit austere brow, and .commenced a literal? conversation. Tbe nanies of Washington Franklin, Rittenhouse, and a host of liter ary and distinguished characters, for >omi time gave a zest and interest to their con versauon, until Dr. Dwight chanced to men tion the name of Dennie. "Dennie, the editor of the • Port frolio,' said the doctor, in a rhapsody, "is tho Ad dison of tbe United States—the father o American belles lettres. But air,” con tinued he, “is it not astounding that a mat of such u genius, fancy aud fueling, shoulc abandon himself to the inebriating bowl and to bacchanalian revels!” “Sir,” sale Dennie, “you are mistaken. I have beer intimately acquainted with Dennie fo: several years, and 1 never knew or saw him Intoxicated." “Sir," rejoined thi doctor, “you err; I have my informatior from a particular friend; I am confldcm that I am right, and that you orc wrong."

Tho fire leaped across Front strict at Madison and caught in the new Opera House, and in half on hour laid an entire square across Front street in ashes. It wan then ap­ parent that the Occidental Hotel must go, as well as the most substantial buildings in its neighborhood. By 4:30 o'clock the fire htul swept over tho best dry-goods stores, and all tho banks, telegraph of­ fices aud newspaper offices in the city, and had gone south of Yesler avenue, ^outh of which lay an immense area covered with " tene­ ments, lodging houses, cheap hotels, rail­ road and steam warehouses, wharves, saw and planing mills and the whole­ sale district of the town, all built upon piles and sawdust. Here the progress of the fire was terribly rapid. By 8 o’clock tho whole area of 'sixteeij squares long by from three to six wide, not counting the long piers on which many of tho largest warehouses and mills were built, was invohod ,'n flames, which now lit up the heavens for many miles. From being madly frantic the populace had become apparently resigned to the situation, and nearly everybody «aw that he could do nothing to quench the fire, and coolly turned his attention to saving us much as possible of portable property. Tho three companies of militia belong­ ing to the city were called out snd put on guard around the limits of the fire. Two or throe hundred special poiireinen were sworn in to help them maintain order, which they found little difficulty in doing. The burnt-out residents ot the tenement house district managed to save a good many of their goods, aud with them they camped down in the streets on vacant lota, or in the door-yards of more fortu­ nate people and made themselves on comfortable at possible for tbs night. Dispatches which bad been sent to llcoma. Olympia, and Port Townsend brought in some fire apparofua, and many willing hands to help fight the flame*, but when they arrived they found tbat noth­ ing could be done except patrol the street* and protect the tbouaanda of dol­ lars’ worth of property that was exposed. This they did, finding* little to do, how­ ever, except to keep in order the crowds of sight-seers which all night long surged through the burned region. AU estimates of tbe lose, of course, vary* widely. Nobody puts it at less than 810,­ 000,009, and none rate it so high as 820,­ 000.000.' Among the institutions and firms burned out wire five banka, throe theaters, eight agricultural implement warehouse*, eight iron and machine shops, four newspapers, four large job printing offices and binderies, seven commission firms, five drug stores, two of them wholesale, nineteen dry goods, boot and shoe stores, six wholesale deal­ ers in cigars and confectionery, twelve furniture dealers, three dealers in general merchandise, twenty-one groccriss, the best hotel in the city, and nt least ten oSher hotels and lodging bouses, one hundred and sixty saloons, four livery stables. forty most mar­ kets, sixteen clothing nnd furnishing bousea, three laundries, four paint and oil dealers, five dealers in musical instru­ ments, the Western Union and Postal Telegraph office, the American District Telegraph office, and the telephone office, all tbe warehouse* of the Columbia and Puget Sound Steamship Company, three of the O.

Tho streets of tta burnt section this morning were filled aith fallen walls, oolumns, and charred telegraph poles, twisted and tangled wires, and bentstreetrailway rails. There waa nleo a vast amount of furniture, trunks, and hun­ dreds of safes rescued from the burning office^, all of which stood in the open street al! night long, with nobody offer­ ing to molest them.

Deceased the chimney when the lightning struck, was well and favorably known in Nash­ and was severely injured. Had she ville, and her demise is sadly regretted . been six feet further forward at the time of the stroke she would undoubt­ edly have jieen fatally injured. The children also had very narrow escapes, pne sleeping ou each side of the chim­ ney where the lightning descended. The lightning passed down the stove pipe, through two or three rooms and out of the back door, tearing a hole through the frame of the screen 4oor, finally striking and passing through a borrd on the barn, located several rods back of the house, and going down into the ground. A carpet was ignited but was extinguished before doing a great deal of damage. The lightning was m nearly every room in the house, and it is almost a miracle that the family escaped with their lives. The discovery of a small snake on the street the morning following the Gilmore concert, was commented upon quite extensively, some people even stating it as their opinion that it had been brought from Grand Rapids in some one’s boot, it being of the kind commonly known as milk (shake) snake. . Claude Downs, a nine-year-old son of Steve Downs, stepped into D. A. Green’s store Monday and calling for a bunch of fire crackers, threw down a twenty dollar gold piece. Mr. Green picked it up and asked him if he knew what it was, to which the boy replied, "Yea, it is a dollar.” Suspecting all was not right,' Mr. Green told him he bad better take the money and go right home with it, which he did . Half an hour afterward his father was informed of the circumstance, and remembering he had some gold in his pocket looked to see if it was there yet. He found it, as be bad expected, all there, and de­ cided that it could dot have been his boy who had entered Mr. Green’s storeUpon investigation, however, it was discovered that the lad had taken the money from his father's pocket, but upon being unable to use it had re­ turned it within half an hour without bis father’s knowledge.

He has bean afraid she would want more knowledge and gel Into more mischief, and so he has put limitations hero, there and everywhere; physical, mental and moral limitations Forty years ago a few women who had somehow become good and brave and strong in spite of these limitations, feel­ ing that Eve-'s daughters had been suf­ ficiently punished for their mother’s sin, gave voice to the feeling of injus­ tice within them; and aakeJ that these limitations be removed. Since that time many women and some men have joined in making the demand that jus­ tice bo done to women, and they be given the same liberty as men to devel­ op the powers God has given. But. it Is asked, do all women want this liber­ ty? Alas, the answer must be “No.” Many have all their lives worn the bonds, and think they would be uncom­ fortable without them. Others do not think women are yet prepared for per­ fect freedom. They wade in the shal­ low streams of literature, but they must learn how to swim before they go near the deep waters of religion and politics. Can a full-grown person learn to swim in water a foot deep? Is it not possible for women at once to do away with all the artificial and arbitrary lim­ itations which impede the vigorous growth and symmetrical development of our sex? Surely the obstacles which nature presents aro all-sufficient, and wo may trust God to deal wisely with his children. Ho needs not any Inter­ ference from us.—Woman’s Journal. Entitled to Vote. The general argument for letting wo­ men vote, says A. S. Blackwell, in Woman's Journal, is the same ns the argument for having a» re­ publican form of government rather than a monarchy. It is fair and right that those who aro to obey the laws •hould have a voice in making them, and that those who pay taxes should have a voice as to the amount of the tax and the way in which it shall bo spent The fundamental principle of a republican government roughly stated, is this: In deciding what shall be done, where everybody’s interests are con­ cerned. wo take everybody's opinion, and go according to the wish of the majority. As we can not suit every­ body, we do what will suit the greatest number. That seems to be, upon the whole, the fairest way. A vote is merely a written expression of opinion. It is written down and put Into a box. so tiiat it can be counted. In thus taking the sense of the com­ munity, certain classes of persons are always passed over, whose opinions, for one reason or another, are not thought worth counting. The laws of different States differ, but all agree in excluding minors, idlota, lunatics, felons and wo­ men. There are good and obvious reasons for all these exceptions but the last It is evident that the opinions of children ought not to be counted, nor those of idiots, lunatics and criminals. Ts there any equally good reason why, in reckoning up the opinions of the community, no account should be taken of the opinions of women? If not, they ought to be allowed to vote. Surplus Women. A recent article by Mrs. Anne Wit­ ten myer, in the Northern Christian Advocate argues against allowing wo­ men to be lay delegates to the Metho­ dist General Conference, pointing out that there aro more men than women ifl theUnitefl States, and implying that all women ought, therefore, to be fully busted in taking -care of the homes ot these men. ••There are no surplus women in the United States,” says Mra. Wittenmyer—an assertion which would be more to the point if the men were not massed in the Western States and the women in the Eastern. The same issue^of the Christian Advocate publishes the following appeal: "Wanted Immediately: For Chill and Brazil, South America, unmarried ladies to servo ns music and nrt teach­ ers. and teachers of the higher and ordinary branches taught in schools." Now, if unmarried women can be spared to teach for years in South America, might they not ba spared for a few weeks to go to Conference? Even a married woman generally takes time to visit her parents occasionally, and it would require no longer time for her to attend the Conference. When we consider that no one is obliged to accept an appointment as delegate who finds it inconvenient to go, and that an case the regular delegate is kept away by any emergency, this objection does not carry much weight Undoubtedly Il I* true, as a general proposition, that UteMMU-wMcfa b e at Bcroe Ltahnent wttl butn» nil the lime. — Woman's Journal.

Mutual love and a common interest make every privation endurable; and there should bo no thought of ‘•mine” and ‘thine" on either side. Then if proper provi­ sion is made for the wife Ln case she be left alone, she will not have to reflect, as many a sorrowing widow has done, on the injustice that deprives her of entire control of the home she has had an equal or harder share in earning and making comfortable.

Willard in » recent speech, “I ’ believe the present marriage system to bo the greatest tri­ umph of Christianity, and that it has created and conserves more happy homes than the world has ever before known. Any law that renders less binding the mutual, life-long loyalty of one map and woman to each other, which is the central Idea of every home, is an unmitigated curse to that man and woman, to that homo and to hu­ manity. Around this union, which alone renders possible a pure society and n permanent State, the law should build ito utmost safeguards, and upon this union the Qospel should pronounce Ito most sacred benedictions. But, while I hold these truths to be selfevident, I believe that a constant evo­ lution is going forward in the home as in every other place, and that we have but dimly dreamed the good in store for those for whom God for holiest love hath made.” ITEMS FOR WOMEN. Journal. Bar. V. O. Gee, -of Bowling for knowledge, the subject of “equal righto for men Tbe natural righto of both i»exes I beHere to bo identical. Each can surrender certain righto by any forma! rolation it outers into. By the marriage vow, both husband and wife act on this principle, oral least should, according to the divine cconpmy, and surrender in a measure certain' natural righto, each agreeing to keep \tho stipulation. In entering into this covenant, volun­ tarily, of course, there is only one point of difference between the two; the wife surrenders to the guidance of the hus­ band in controlling the general Lntercats of ths family whenever there bo an honest difference'of opinion in such matters. They both should go hand in hand, bearing and forbearing, consult­ ing together onfall subjects pertaining to their welfare and the'welfare of those dependent upon them; neither should keep from the other any plans or designs contemplated, but be ever free and open to each other, and when a decision has to be arrived at, affect­ ing their common interests, and on whiefe there is an honest divergence of opinion, the husband's counsel should prevail, as I believe God has made him the head of the family in this regard. This does not teach the inferiority of the wife, as I conceive, but in all unions or co-o{>ertttlvc associations there must be a head, and in accordance ^ith God's plan this has been .given in tbe marriage covenant to the husband under the conditions stated. This headship, mark you, is confined strictly to the family circle, family duties and family interests, and only In the sense stated. "There are other obligations outeide of this relation of marriage, binding upon both, and for the proper exercise of these each Is only responsible to God. These obligations aro of a religious, social and civil character. The wife should be as free and independent in arriving at correct conclusions, when­ ever any proposition affecting her du­ ties or relations in these directions is presented for her consideration, as tbe husband is; just so she keeps inviolate the vow she made to him at the con­ nubial altar. She has duties to the church, duties to society, duties to the State, justas binding and obligatory upon her aa the husband's are upon him, and whenever any of these righto are in­ fringed, her rights, both from natural and religious point of view, are tramp­ led upon. So I claim that if woman should be deprived of the ballot, then man should for the same reason. His peculiar prerogatives In this matter are altogether assumed and arbitrary. Why should he have any better right to make laws tor the governing of woman than she should tave to make laws for the governing of him? If she has no voice in the enacting of law, then she should cot be amenable to the law. (We aro. of course, here speaking of human and not divine law.) Else wo shall make her but a serf and a slave. 1 conceive it the worst kind of a slavery for an intelligent and reasonable being to be amenable to a law which it has had no voice In making or determining; and yet we boast of our free and groat country, the land of liberty! It !s a land of freedom with a vengeance, when one-half of the people rule the other half. AntDhgain, 1 vnuld say woman should either be alter, cd the franchise or bo exempt from taxation. Taxation without representation or voice in the government was the ground of our severance aa a nation from the mother country. Consistency, truly thou art a jewel! "I wish I had tbe lime to enter into Bn argument, both from Scripture and reason, for supporting the position here taken. I will in any event take the lib­ erty of referring to one of the most flimsy and silly objecttons, to my mind, that is often raised against equal suf­ frage, and that is the Indelicacy or im­ modesty in woman's presenting herself at the polls to cast her ballot, when the same objectors often go with their wives and daughters to a circus, and there submit to all kinds of crowding and pressure, just to hear the droll witticisms of a clown and witness in­ delicate performances of various na­ tures; and those name people think nothing of ladies visiting theaters and looking on at the ballet fiances. To me tbe two latter are 'much more ‘objectlonable than the former; but. if ministers and ladles could have the op­ portunity of exercising more influence on our politics, why could not the law bo so arranged as to allow a |»11 to be opened In a church building, and then, after £devout prayer to Almighty God for guidance and direction, have both mon and women deposit their votes in the fear of His holy name and in con­ formity to His divine will? I am crank enough to believe that this will be the case lx:fore many decades shall have passed by, and that all Christians will learn to sanctify their politic* as much aa they do their re­ ligion. _______ Tue Women's Anthropological So­ ciety of America, the first purely scien­ tific society directed exclusively by women, was organized in Washington in June, 1885, and has since held fort­ nightly meetings from November to May.

Like unlike most South­ ern ladies, my mother greatly dreaded the con- ‘ fluence of negro asy sociates for her children. To guard against this, a plonk wall, about ten feet high, was envied between th© "great house” and tha negro cabins, and it was as much as my life was worth to be caught on the wrong side of it. But from the days of our grand­ mother Eve downward, prohibition has had but one effect on depraved human nature. L e., to maxv uh long more ardently for the thing prohibited. A nocturnal visit to Uncle Isaac’s or Aunt Easter's cabin had always been delightful, but it became irresistibly enticing after the erection of that fence. Many a night, when I was sup­ posed to be sledding the sleep of in­ nocence, I had scaled the barrier and was snugly ensconced in a huge chim­ ney corner, luxuriating on hot ash cake and roasted ’possum, and listen­ ing with all the ears I hud to negro songs and stories. One night I made up my mind to accompany Undo Ike on a 'possum hunt. Wo both knew such an expedi­ tion would be considered un overt act of high treason against the reigning powers, and entail direful consequences if detected. Nevertheless, I was bent on going, and Ike was equally eager to take meTen o'clock of an autumn night found us trudging towards Cocodri swamp, accompanied by a mongrel cur which Ike pronounced "do pow’fules’ ’possum dawg en all dqsc dig­ gins.” At first, our way lay through the pine woods, and the moon lighted our path and silvered with melancholy luster the smooth brown trunks and huge swaying tops of the pino trees. But as we approached Cocodri, the thicker growth intercepted her rays and made a twilight through which we had some difficulty to avoid stumbling over the cypress knees and breaking our own. We had gone a mile in the swamp when our attention was drawn to the strange behavior of Ike's dog. Instead of questing round in search ot game he slunk close to his master's logs, his tail between his own, and shivered all over. “ ’Fo’ Gawd, Marse Harry, yer done see dat dawg? I b'liove, ’fo’ my marster, dal dawg done sec sum pun we dem cain’t see. Now I try him. JH. Cesar, hi, boy, ’possum up er gum tree; sick him, boy, sick him!” But Cesar declined to "sick him,’’ , or to do any thing but slouch close to Ike’s heels, his hair bristling and showing his teeth with a faint snarl " What makes him do that way, Uncln Ike? I never saw him behave so before." " I done lole yer, young marsejd&t dawg got mighty keen . nose. He kin smell 'possum whar yer neber think ha’r uv 'possum tail was. ’n’ he smell ’ 'sumpun now. Sho's yer bora, honey, dar sumpun aln’ sniptious roun’ 'ere. Dart Hants som’ers.” " Hants! stuff! more likely he smells alligators. Cocodri Lake swarms with ’em, and he’s mortally scared of them ever since one snapped off a piece of his tail in the bayou. ” ** Yah! yah! so he am, young marse, "'“'Sul ’tain’ no allumgaitcr. We dem ent nigh 'nough der lake fur dem. Cesar he snuff up her spook, chile, sho’s yer bora. Wen he stick he I So we set out toward the light; Ike most unwillingly following me, and Cesar still more unwillingly following Ike. As we approached, it grew con­ stantly broader and brighter until it seemed to soar in one unbroken, un­ wavering column half u high as the forest trees. We did not venture with­ in the cirole of radiance, but stopped some distance off and looked from the dense shadow of the overarching fo­ liage upon a wild, weird scene. We had paused on the brink of one of those lagoons so common in a Southern swamp. On the other side of it, on a knoll that seemed to rise from the midst of a morass, a drama was acting that thrilled me with' hor­ ror and makes me shiver now to think of. The great boles, of the forest trees draped with funereal wreaths ot Spanish moss, the oozy fetid water circling the mound, tho flame lurid!jlighting up near objects and intensify­ Ing the darkness around, the Wild ' vines twisting from tree to tree, look­ ing in tho lurid light like the huge folds of twining serpents, all made a fit setting for that picture. Seven figures were grouped within that frame. A white man. tall and handsome; a girt, young and very, very beautiful; four stalwart negroes, who seemed posted as guards, and, in "the canter of the group, an old, withered witch-like crone with a face black as ebony, so seamed with wrinkles that it looked as if it had just come out of a crimping machine, and small, keen, jet-black, gleaming, snaky eyes, i hose evil eyes seemed to warn like the rattle of tho deadly snake: "Keep off from me. I am fatal!” Yet the young man spoke to her in a tone of good-humored im­ patience, as if she were quite a com­ monplace character. ""Come. Venus, hurry up and finish this business. I must get back to camp before I am missed ’’ What an evil look she gave him! Her beady eyes looked more than ever like a serpent’s coiled ready to strike. She answered with a hideous chuckle: "Young mas’r en big hurry? Myra, too, s’pose? Neb’ min’, mas’r; obeah k>man mek charm, fetish come, den mas’r all right, Myra, too. Lib ’n’ lub togeder till dark night come; den go togeder—where? Kin white mas’r toll obeah 'oman dal? No; white man, black man, putty gal, ugly ole ’oman, all go en dark togeder.

Dar! w’at I done tole yer?” I looked where Isaac pointed and saw a light twinkling faintly through the trdtw. "Well. I see a light. What about it? Hunters camping out. I suppose.” "Never mind the balance,” cried the young man, impatiently. "I know the catalogue. ‘Eye of newt and toe of frog.’ You don't suppose I believe in your gibberish, do you? I only want to satisfy Myra that I mean honestly by her, and if she thinks your voudoo charms will bind me closer, get to work with your hellish ingredients and let’s see what you make of them, old Satan's grand­ mother.” “Hi yi! young mas’s so funny! mek ole ’oman laugh! Putty Myra right, obeah ’oman mek charm you neb’ part nummo'. Now I work.” As she drew near the fire, my fas­ cinating eyes never left her for a mo­ ment, The young man and girl stood close together. His arms were clasped around her, and she stood with her beautiful face lifted to his. But his eyes were on tho old witch. The four sentinels stood motionless at their posts and watched her too. So did Ike with ashy face, starting eyes and blub­ ber lips, troubling over the awful word “Voudoo!” So did Cesar, crouched close to his master’s feet, his morsel of a tall clear out of sight, and , shrinking in his bide as if he were try­ > ing to get out of it Strange, even in a moment of supreme expectation, how trivial details will strike the eye. It seemed to me niy gaze had never left the hideous face of old Venus, yet all these things flashed on me, and in tho some instant I was looking fixedly al her. She drew close to the Are and cast into it various articles drawn one by one from a bag, * mumbling and mut­ tering and working her wrinkled jaws as she leered horribly at tho couple clasped close in each other’s arms. Some of her ingredients must have . been more powerful than those she i had named, for a thick white smoke | poured out and spread over every i thin» around.

We know not, nor did wo greatly care; all our thought was to remove ourselves from the scene ot such mysterious hor­ rors. “ Do good Manter erbovo hab mussy on us!” groaned Ike, as soon as he ■dared speak. " Did ober der blessed sun - shine on sitch unodcr caper!

But Ike begged hard for silence, well knowing what would be the consequences to him of carrying me off on unlawful expeditions, though, if the truth must be told, it was I that carried him. We finally agreed to keep our own counsel and make our own inquiries. ' We learned that a gang of negroes, mov­ ing from North Carolina to the new lands of the Southwest, had camped in our neighborhood on the memorable night of our 'possum hunt They were in charge of a white overseer, who had mysteriously disappeared in company with a pretty quadroon girl. The supposition was that he bad car­ ried her off to a free State and married her. No one felt inclined to interfere until the master of the slaves was heard from, and by that time it was too late to think of pursuit. Nothing could be heard about old Venus and her confederates. She was still in camp, and held in great fear by the negroes asu native African obeah woman of mighty and occult powers. What she wasted kept secret was not likely to be told. I often ponder on the horrible scene I witnessed and try to understand it, but in. vain. Of one thing I am sure; the young man and girl were victims of some terrible fate brought on them by the malignity of that old witch, but whether natural or supernatural agents were used in their destruction remains an Insoluble problem. * As Ike said: "It am all er muddle, young morse, ’n’ dis chile cain’t mok head nur tail squirmin’ round’ dal night bed er been n&t’ral varmint. like allumgaters ’n’ sitch. Cesar neber tuck he tail 'tween he leg ’n’ squatulate roun’ dal er way. He sho ter bark at ’em anyhow, ’n* yer knows yerse’f dar warn’t er piece er bark leT en him.” On the whole, I agreed with Ike that something more than natural was abroad in Cocodri that night, but al! its incidents remain now, as they were then, an impenetrable mystery of the swamp.

How­ ever, as the fork seemed about to end, wo determined to round a particularly high, dense point of grass and see what was on the other side, upon the prin­ ciple that the really desirable fish are all ‘jfist at the next bend.' As we slowly turned the point we slid (I use the word advisedly) upon a pair of these enormous sea cows having a quiet feed. There was an awful -splut­ tering and boiling of tho water as it closed over tnelr huge gray-brown backs and a hasty ‘back water' on tho oars. The boat rocked as If it had been a mere chip on the water, and I am free to admit I was too frightened to even use the rifle at my feet. "While the manatee b indigenous to tho entire St Lucie, tho South Fork b Jib favorite feeding ground. A few years ago they wore quite plenty oven in January. They have a tremendous wake as they plow along, which grad­ ually becomes V-shaped as they near tho surface of the water to blow. A rifle-ball sent into the apex of tho V will cause a very satisfactory commo­ tion. "Sea-cows are taken alive by stretching a wide-meshed not of ‘rat­ lin’ stuff across tbe channel of their feeding-ground. One end of tho net b securely fastened, while the other is simply buoyed in position. Meeting the obstruction the animal endeavors to push its way through, becomes en­ tangled and ends a captive. Notwith­ standing their great size and their weight of thousands of pounds, they are tender and must be promptly un­ wound and carefully looked after. "Some years ago we had one in a staked pen at our camp on Indian river that would eat out of your hand.

This was more of a ‘draw’ than they hod bar­ gained-for, and they put for home.” MENDING FURNITURE. To mend a break in any part of the furniture, if tho parts havo been glued together before, scrape off all the old glue ere putting on the new; but If a new break, with a brush put on the glue, and do not be afraid of using too much, as any superfluous glue can be removed after the work has hardened. Press the parts broken together close­ ly, and tie them with a stout cord to keep them in place until tbs gluo hardens. Put away for a day or two, one day at the least, in a cool place, then remove tho oord, and the article will be as firm as when first made. If the break is in an out-of-theway place, such as the leg of a table or chair, after the glue hardens scrape off that on the surface of the break, being careful that tho wood or varnish does not suffer; but if tho fracture is where it will l>e easllyr observed, after scraping off tho glue go over tbe whole with a coaS of furniture varnish, and if done correctly tho break trill scarce­ ly be noticed. An old cane-sealeftehair that is worn in tho seat may bo made with little trouble into a very pretty and useful article. Cut out all the cane from the seat, and into the latter fit a board or stiff leather seat. Make a cushion of stout unbleached cotton to fit the seat, and fill with curled hair. With some good gilding go over the whole of tho chair, with the exception of tho leather or board seat which should have been fastened to the chair before. Put the chair aside un­ til perfectly dry, then give It a thin coat of white varubh. to prevent the gilding coming off us easily as It would otherwise, also to give the woodwork a luster. Tack the cushion firmly to the seat of tho chair, and cover with peacock blue plush, finishing the edge of the plush with blue gimp. Use small brass-headed Uu:kt> when fasten­ ing on the gimp, but if these are not convenient, the small black round­ headed furniture tacks may be used, taking care to conceal tho heads in the gimp. Tie a bow of broad peacock­ blue satin ribbon on the upper left­ hand corner of tho back, and the chair b finished. Be sure that the chair b firm, so it may bo of use; otherwise, all the time and labor spent on it will bo almost thrown away, as a chair that con not be used b ot little value, even uh an ornament. —Boston Budget —‘«o long as Ireland was silent un­ der her wrongs.

Those who have not contributed towards paying for the new monament erected at Hastings to tbe memory of the brave boys in bias who sacrificed tlieir lives on southern soil should take a trip to the county seat and view it as it stands there, representing the many brave boys from Woodland and the balance of Barry county, who left their homes during the dark days be­ tween 1801-5 never to return, or if they did by chance get back, to linger and die from wounds received or diseases contracted while facing the enemy. Can it be that tbe patriotism of Barry county is at so low an ebb that they will stand by and see a few pay for such an emblem of patriotism as may now be seen in the city of Hastings. Some of our neighboring dealers in farm implements may go too far yet and then want to get back on the same track again and fail. It is going too for to say that John Metzger has no credit and is a deadbeat, and the like, just because be felt like selling a ma­ chine he had honestly and eqavely bought, as be did in the case just closed. This is another reason why our people should buy at home, where they can buy without being abused by an agent of a neighboring town. Mr. Metzger wishes to publicly say that he bought the binder in question. The agent took part of the pay and then squarely backed oat of his bargain, and to get out of letting him have tbe machine told him his credit was not good and otherwise abased him. Forepaagh’s great show will exhibit at Kalamazoo Jnne 28th, ono of the principal features being tho great wild west show. At that time the C.

Returning train will leave Kalamazoo at five o’clock p. m. It will be seen by the above regu­ lations that our people can not only have a chance to see the best show od earth bat will have an opportunity to see the prettiest city in Michigan, and as our people have always had to ride from five to fifteen miles to take the can whenever they wanted to go to any place of amusement they should now embrace this opportunity of takeing a pleasant rid* over oar new road. .

CM AFTKit DC Mr. Reade's cruel and prejudiced eo-nsations against Mr. Rayner had not n the least shaken my faith in the kindleas of the master of the Alders; but I 'eU anxious to prove to myself that the •barges brought against him were rroundh-as. Mr. Reade’s RUggestion hat he let his family sleep in the damp rouse while he passed his nights elsevhere, for instance, was absurd in the xtreme. Whcre^ehe could he sleep without anyone's knowing anything About it? I often heard his voice and tep about the house until quite late; ie was always one of the irst in tho dining-room io our ight o’clock breakfast, anff even be wettest mornings ho never looked is if he had been out in the rain. It rften seems to me that when I have mxzled myself a long time over some natter I find out in some simple man•er what I wish to know. Thus the day after my talk with Mr. leads in the shop Hatdee said to me: "Do you ever have horrid dreams, diss Christie, which frighten you and Jicn come true?" "No, darling; dreams are only 'anciee, you know, and never continue, j except ju«t by accident" ' -Buc mine ST A t«ll you .bout i ; IHkehavfng Rayner, Pbuicsm Cmxixtiax and Princea* Louise toward cold wife. crites. and was putting upon hh ili., under the semblance oi devoted aff ctton, a partial restraint which was aa purposeless as it was easy for her to break through. This idea was absurd. The other supposition, dreadful as it waa, waa far more probable.

The immediate result of the child’s confidences to me was a great increase of my love for and interest in herself. We became almost inseparable in and out of school hours; I encouraged her to talk; and she noon fell into the habit of telling me. whether I was listening or not, those long rambling stories which have no beginning, no seauence and no end, which are tho soladb of children who have no companions of their own ago. And sometimes she would say: “Let us sing.

"Oh, no, Mr. Bayner! But I won’t come in, thank you. I am at leseons with Haidee," said I. And I returned to tbe house with Moua. It was to his studio then that Sarah had taken his violin. I had never heard of this studio before; but I knew that Mr. Rayner was very careful about the condition of the stables, and I could imagine that thh two-windowed upper room, with its tire, must be a very nice place to paint in—dry, warm ana light Could this bo where Mr. Rayner slept? No; for in that cose he would hardly have asked me to come up and took at his painting. And I should not like to think that ho had made for himself a snug warm little home here while his family slept in the damp vapon of the marsh at the bot­ tom of the hill. Yet I should have liked, in the face of Mr. Reade's tiresome suspicions, to be sure. On tbe following night there was a high wind, which made the door which stood always fastened back at the top of the kitchen stairs rattle and creak on its hinges. At last I could bear this last souna no longer. I had been sit­ ting up late over a book, and I knew that the■household must be asleep so I slipped down-stain* as softly as I could. I had got to the top of the back staircase and had my liana on tho door, when I saw a faint glimmer of light coming along the passage below. I heard no sound. I drew back quickly, so quickly that my candle went out; and then I waited, with — M| *-beating -•- my v heart fast, not so much to see who I did not it was, as because _____ dare to move. The faint light came along swiftly, and I could sec that it was a shaded lantern, and could just distinguish the form of a man carrying it. For the next few moments I scarce­ ly dared to breathe, and I could al­ most have given a cry of joy whfcn, by some movement of the head, I recog­ nized Mr. Rayner. He did'not see me; he put the key in the lock, turned it, took the key out, went through and locked it after him so quickly and so entirely without noise tfiat a moment afterward I could almost have thought that I had imagined the dim scene. It had been so utterly without sound that, if my eyes had been closed, I should have known nothing about it. I made the door secure with trembling fingers, and weut back to my room again, not only profoundly sorry that Mr. Reade's surmise was correct—for I could no longer doubt that Mr. Rayner did sleep over {he stables—but,impressed with an eerie dread of the man who could move about in the night as noiselessly and swiftly as a spirit When I awoke, however, in the fresh morning, with the wind gone down, and the sun shining in through my cast window, all unpleasant im­ pressions of the night before had faded away; and, when Mr. Rayner brought into the drawing-room after dinner a portfolio full of his sketches and panels, and was delighted with my ap­ preciation of them—I knew something about pictures, for my father had been a painter—I felt that it was not for me to judge his actions, and that there must be some good motive that I did not know for his sleeping far out of the damp, as for every thing else that he did. He proposed to paint me. and I gave him a sitting that very after­ noon in the dining-room, which had a north light, though there was not much of it; and he said that he must finish it next day in his studio, and, when I objected to neglect my lessons again, he said the whole family should emigrate thither for the morning, and then perhaps I should be satisfied. So the next day, at eleven o’clock, he came into the school-room with Mrs. Raynor, who wore her usual air of being drawn into this against what will she had, and wo all four crossed tbe garden to tho stablee, and went up through the harness-room to the big room over the coach-house, whicn looked even more comfortable than I had expected. For the floor was polished, and there were two beautiful rugs, a haudsome tiger-skin, and a still handsomer lion­ skin with the heat’, attached. At one end of the room was a partition, and behind this partition I guessed that Mr. Rayner slept There was a bright fire burning in tho tiled fireplace, and tliere were soft easy-chairs rather worn by constant use, but very comfortable, and there were pictures on the walls, and there was a dark carved-oak cabi­ net full of curious and beautiful things, and a writing-table; and lastly there were the easel and a great ’ confu­ sion of portfolios and half-finished sketches and studies. Altogether the room contrasted very favorably with the moldy-looking drawing-room. Per­ haps Mrs. Bayner thought so as she sat down, with one eager intent look round the room, as if she had never seen it before; and then, without any remark, she took out her knitting, and worked silently, while I posed again as I had done on the previous day, with my head on one siile, and my hands, as Mr. Rayner had placed them clasped under my chin, while he painted and talked. After two hours’ work, Mr. Rayner called us to look at his sketch, which represented a very lovely girl with dark gray eyes a little larger than mine, a red-lipped mouth a little smaller, teeth a little whiter, and a complexion a little creamier in the White parts and n little rosier in the red; aud tbe brown hair coiled on the top was just a little glossier and smoother than mine ever was. It was just a little like me all the same; and I was rather hurt when Mrs. Rayner summoned spirits enough to say that he had flattered me, although I knew it quite well. But Mr. Rayner said that it was impossible for a portrait to flatter a handsome woman, and Mrs. Rayner raised her thin shoulders in a slight shrug and turned to leavu the room. "You are an excellent model, you ait so still. It is a pleasure to paint you for that and—for other reasons," said he, slowly and deliberately. “What sitali I give you as a reward fur rpmainingso long withput blinking, qr enough for a woman, they say," said 1. laughing and following Hsidee to the door. . . "I shall find something more "sub­ stantial than that,” said Mr. Rayner, in a low voice, as if half to himself, looking up with a very kind smile m I left the room. That afternoon Haidee had just left the school-room when Mr. Rayner came in. He held in his hand an old and shabby little case. ‘ "The poor painter has not forgotten hin promise," said he, with mock hu­ mility. "Now see what you have earned by sitting stilh” He drew mc»to my window and opened the caso, keeping his eVes fixed upon my face os he did so: The case was lined with old and worn red vel­ vet, and had evidently not been made for the ornament it contained. This was a large pendant in jthc form of a heart, which was a blaze of what seemed to me the most magnificent diamonds I had ever see,L The sight of them inspired me not with pleasure, but terror. I drew a long breath of ’surprise and admiration. “ It is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen,” said I at last, not qu(to able to take in yet the fact that it was meant for me, and hoping against hope that it was not "You like diamonds?" said he, hi a low voice. . "They are lovely—tho most beauti­ ful of all jewels, I think." said I, with a break in my voice. "Would you like to have your hair and neck and arms covered 'with dia­ monds, like a duchess nt court?" asked he. I looked up and laughed with rather an effort. "1? Oh, no! I shouldn’t care for., diamonds myself; I should look ab­ surd in them. Diamonds are for great ladies, not for governesses.” •‘Well, without being a great lady, a governess may wear an ornament 'she has fairly earned, may she not?" "Yes, if it has been fairly earned,” said I, trving to keep up a light tone of talk, though my heart was beating fast ••And so you can accept this pretty little thing as the reward of your serv­ ices to a grateful painter and a souvenir of our pleasant morning all together in the studio." "Oh, no—oh, no—I can’t indeed!” said I earnestly. "Don’t be angry with me, Mr. Rayner; but the very thought of possessing any thing so valuable would be a burden to me night and dav.” Mr. Rayner burst into a long laugh. "Oh, you simple little creature! I did not think a London lady would be so unsophisticated as to mistake very ordinary paste for diamonds," said he. with much enjoyment. "This pend­ ant, the enormous value of which frightens you so much, is worth about fifteen shillings. No, no, mv dear child, you need not be alarmed at tho mere money-value of the tiling, which is very little. It bas a value in mv eyes, but for a different reason. Look here.” He turned it over, and I saw on tho back a monogram, and the date 1792. "What are the letters of the mono­ gram?" I read—“R. G. D." ▼as D. Rayner—my own initials and those of my father and grandfather Be­ fore me. That this belonged to my CTandmother makes its only value. But I have plenty of relics of her; bo you are robbing nobody and pleasing one old friend—I may call myself an old friend already, may I not?—very much by accepting this. In full fam­ ily conclave at tea, you shall hear me announce the presentation, and then you will be satisfied, won’t you, you modest little girl?’’ / So I took it with most ungracious feelings, and thanked him as well as I could. True to his promise, Mr. Ray­ ner said to his wife at tea-time: “I have with the greatest difficulty prevailed upon this proud Miss Christie of ours to accept as a reward of her services as modal a twopenny-half­ penny trinket, which she almost told me was not fit to wear—” "Uh. Mr. Rayner!" He was putting suth a different color upon my reluctance, as if I had not thought it good enough. And there is a great deal of difference b<?tween fif­ teen shillings and twopence-halfpenny. I saw Sarali, who was in the room, look at me very sharply, and Mrs. Ray­ ner did not look pleased. Altogether, the beautiful ornament that I had admired so much, but cer­ tainly not coveted, had brought me more annoyance than pleasure. It procured me one mure little trial that very evening. When I got upstairs, I sat down and looked at the ornament. It certainly was veiy splendid, and I thought, that, if this were paste, and worth only fifteen shillings, it .was great waste of money to buy real dia­ monds, which cost so much more and looked no better. And, as I was hold­ ing it up to the light, and feeling at last a shrill of pleasure in its possession, I heard a voice behind me say— “So that’s the twopenny-halfpenny trinket, is it?" Of course it was Sarah. She had come up to brihg me some water, and I had plenty in the iug. I shut up the case, and said coldly: •‘Of course Mr. Rayner would not give any one a thing which really cost only twopence-half-penny, Sarah." ** No, miss, not for such services as yours.’’ And she said it in such a nasty tone that, when she had left tho room, 1 threw the caso down upon the table Pmixcb Hkxxt. of Germany, is one of the vainest of mortals.

(Written WARM September sun shone brightly down on the dancing waters of the blue lake. The bolder waves, tipped with sparkling white cape rolled up to the peb­ bled beach and broke foam. g A towered above the sands crowned with forest foot a miniature wharf jutted out into the lake. A deep ravine, dark with a heavy growth of underbrush and the shade of many trees, down which dashed a brisk little brooklet, wound around the- southern side of the cliff. Walking absently along a narrow foot-path, which lay ribbon-like on the edge of the highland, was a gentleman whose every movement betrayed his profession. His head was erect, his shoulders thrown back, his face was regular. As he brushed aside the bending limbs, or the rank growth of shrubs and weeds which at times ob­ structed his path-way, or stood gazing over the blue waters, he was plainly lost in thought He scarcely heeded the beauty of the scene, he saw not the loveliness of the autumn woods now aglow in a hundred varied shades of gold and cardinal. His features wore regular, his eye piercing, his brow broad and full, his dark mustache but half concealing a mouth whose outlines at once expressed sweetness and deter­ mination. His clear olive skin, un­ stained by wind and weather, showed plainly that Douglas Atherton had not won the Lieutenant's straps on his shoulders in any hard-fought campaign under the ruthless suns of summer or in the fierce, cutting winds of winter. Lost in deep thought, he made his way down the sides of the ravine, where the air was cool and damp, crushing under his feet the tender ferns that car­ peted its surface. Reaching the sands, he sat down near the wreck of a sail-boat, which some winter's storm had tossed up on the beach. Half hid­ den by the drifting sand was the name “Mary." once painted In brightcolors. but now dim and faded. Sitting there, lost tn reverie. Atherton looked out over the dazzling waters, dotted here and there with snow/ sails, or dark ened. perchance, by the black, smoky trail of a steamer swiftly moving bo yond the horizon.

Again I seem to be floating over th« bay of Naples, the satire of the sky lifted the dark ringlets from her brow. Her cheeks were flushed, her eyes sparkling, and a little tip-tilted nose and a pouting mouth gave a piquant expression to the pretty face. Her companion advanced with more seri­ ous movements. Glancing at her for an instant, Douglas saw a pure, ma­ donna-like face crowned with soft brown hair, beneath which lay a pair of melting brown eyes. It needed not thought Alle. -ery lowly. •> ■> —< opposite him, her navy-blue wool dress relieved by a white polka-dotted hand­ kerchief tied In s nautical fashior. around her throat, her face shaded by a blue silk umbrella. As they rowed over tho water she sang a barcarolle, her voice coming back over the water in answering echoes. “See that vessel," she cried; "how motionless it lies there far out on the water.” . i'Yes," he answered, glancing at the limp sails; “it is becalmed. \ It saw it there this .morning." • ] “Does it not remind you Of an aim­ less life, dependent on the winds of cir­ cumstance, blown here and there, tho case may be?” “No; rather of one who takes the good the godh may give and calmly enjoys life undisturbed by the deep waters that may bo surging beneath him." “Could any one do’ that? Wmitd it be possible to live such alite? Aro wo not placed in this world to be, to do and to suffer? Dare wo drift with the tide?" Allee, as she spoke, became very earn­ est. Unconsciously her eyes sought those of Douglas and seemed to ques­ tion his very sout Like an accusing judge, that glance revealed to him the selfishness of day* past He saw the dolcc far niente life he had led. quaffing the pleasures and leaving the dregs for others. Feeling this, be dared not speak of his love; dared not offer a life so selfish to her ho loved, but when she bad .gazed at him so earnestly Dougins' soul had seemed to awaken from slumber, and had leaped forth in an answering gaze. Earnest purpose seemed to lie there, and to have met its complement in the soft beam of her own. For an instant they seemed to be revealed to one an­ other, but when tho thought of his life came back. Douglas dared not speak. Bravely he put aside the temptation, resolving to make himself worthy of that pure soul ere asking it to share his life. The con­ versation now drifted into a dis­ cussion of what constitutes a real hero, and Douglas accustomed to studying tho lives of Napoleon and Alexander was hardly willing to admit with Alice that as Carlyle says: “If a hero means a sincere man why may not every one of us be a hero?" leaving Alice that evening Ather­ ton pressed her hand ever so lightly, and gazedat her with longing, but his lips spoke no word of love. Reaching his friend's bouse ho found a telegram calling him to join his reg­ iment at midnight as it passed through Lawrenceburg. There was a terrible uprising of Indians in tho mountains, and the troops had been ordered out at an hour’s warning. There was barely time to reach the city and join his men. Long, weary days of toil and danger followed. Many lives were lost in the first encounter, and then Lieu­ tenant Atherton was ordered far up in the mountains to guard a mining camp from the savages. A premature winter shut them in and cut them off from communication with the outside world. Illy prepared forthis, only a most careful husband­ ing of their resources kept them alive. Brave soldiers perished with oold; sickness was in tho little camp. Car­ ing for his men, watching beside the sick. Lieutenant Atherton scarcely had time to think of his own misery; went about unmindful of frozen fingers and toes and of a racking" cough that was wearing him out At times, as he hovered late at night over the scanty fire, or sat beside some poor suffering man, he seemed to hear a sweet voice singing “Home, Sweet Home,” and an unutterable longing to look into the eyes of her ho loved would warm him like a stimulant,and he would rouse up to still more earnest .work. It waa months before they were relieved, and when help came he was carried in an ambulance to the nearest fort. There he lay, tossing with fever, and only came forth in the late spring the shadow of his former self. Very wan and thin he looked, but the story of his devotion to hte men had become known, and he was the hero of the hour. One day while ho waa still con­ valescing be passed along the village street and stood spell-bound as he heard her voice ginging: • z “Break, break, break. the one he had dreamed of so long.

E. E. J. WEATHER AND A Fine Quality of KT A REASONABLE PRICE LOOK FOR THIS s WITCHES St Thomas Aquinas used to hold ' that angels and devils made the at­ mosphere their battle-ground—the angels that live in the calm upper spheres, the devils that fill the im­ mensity of space; and thus he ac­ counted for tbe injurious changes oi weather to be experienced in certain countries. For tho mortification and rout of these demons bells were conse­ crated and hung in the church spires, usually inscribed, “Vivos voco. mortuos plango, sulphurs frango;’’ and their ringing was thenceforth con­ sidered to be one of the potent means of- dispeling evil influences and of .abating tempests. These evil powers, according to mediaeval legend and be­ lief. were able to produce hail, thun­ der and stornjB at thefr will, and those among them called witches took serial voyages, exactly as the witches of much later days were held to do. although more particular detail is given of their operations, as it is known that they smeared their broomsticks with witch-salve, after which, mount­ ing them, they could sail where they would through so much of this atmos­ phere as was within their jurisdiction. “The air," says Rydberg, speaking of those days of the Dark Ages, “was saturated with demoniacal vapors," all specters, ghosts and vampires mul­ titudinous added their horrors to the fertile Imaginations of people. - The rude and unread of past ages have al­ ways connected natural phenomena with supernatural agencies, adoring the sun and the moon with altar fires on high places and in groves, of which the witches' Sabbath was a fancied de­ scendant, and even in the twelfth cent­ ury there were remnants of these forms in the fire-worship supposed to be led by old women, one of whom was called the night-queen, and who, as old women will, cherished traditions and forms to such an extent that the bishops were finally ordered to have them watched. It was but a little more than three hundred years ago when it was generally believed that the appear­ ance of a huge comet was the work of Satan, and its disappearance was the work of the church. Perhaps we have not left all these follies quite behind us yet. People who nowadays make a wish at the first sight of the evening star, expecting to receive tho thing wished for, who are particular about seeing tho new moon, not through glass, and with silver in their pockets, and who hold that the position of the slender horn signifies either a dry month or a wet one, os it may be— such people have hardly any right to call in question the demonology be­ lieved in by tbe people of the Middle Ages and the old dames of later days. The great forces of nature in rain and shine are wonderful and mysterious enough when taken according to the statements of science, which has pene­ trated them only so small a way, and do not gain either greatness or clarity by calling in the aid of the supernat­ uraL—Harper's Baiar.

The Indians had appointed a large number of soldicis be­ fore the council met, and said the rush, was made to prevent any Indian* from speaking in favor of tbe bill after the Commissioners had finished their talk. Thi* action indicated the existence of an unfriendly feeling toward the bill, aud < led to tbe difficulty to be overcome by the Commissioners. The following d«y another council was held at which Old-Man-Afraid-of-His Horses, Red Cloud, Little Wound, Blue Horse. Young-Man-Afraid-of-His-Horses, and other chiefs spoke. Their talk was a rehearsal of their individual views as to the promises of tbe treaty of 1868, which have not been fulfilled. They ■poke at length with the evident intent of using up time aud preventing an im­ mediate decision. When they finished, Mai. Warner ex­ plained the provisions of that treaty. Gen. Crook then talked to them much tn the same way a* at Rosebud, and in addi­ tion explained the part of the bill in ref­ erence to paying Red Cloud for his ponies, and told them to be careful of any men who wanted to get any of this money; that advice from such 'men was not worth much; that while he thought it was for the intereat of all of them that tho bill should be accepted, still the Com­ missioners wanted them to do a* each thought best.

Anson came down here from Chicago sot upon winning at least two out of the three came-, or making it mighty uncom­ fortable for nnvbody that got in hi* wav. Vmgire Fessenden happened to lx> tbe man to get into Anson's jray during the second game of the eerie*, and the result wa* about two hours of the liveliest kicking and fun for everybody iu general ever seen upon a b*ll field. “The old man" commenced to kick on Fessenden's- calling of balls and atrikes in the second inn ng. and thereafter ran things with a high hand. "I’ve been robbed of games enough this ssaaon al­ ready," said he ufter the game, “and I made up my mind aa soon as I satr how things were going in that game that it was time to do a Tittle kicking myself, and I did it." No one who waa present at the game that afternoon will doubt Anson's state­ ment. There wa* not an inning of the game in which the big Captain's powerful voice was not heard in determined dis­ pute with the umpire. Fe«*enden threat-' ened. aud blustered, aud bluffed at the “old man" throughout the nine inning*, but the beauty of Anson's kicking ia that ho alway* knows what he is talking about, and, couaequently, has the best of an argument upon any rule or point of play tnat he may decide to kick upon. Before Anson began to kick the game promised to be us tame a one a* that of the day before, when Cleveland had won by a score of 5 to 4. The "old man'*" kicking, however, hud tho effect of awak­ ening the members of both team*, and the amount of ginger they threw into their work made the game a bitter fight to tho very end. Chicago finally took the victory by a score of 5 to 4, Dray's hit to center sending in the winning run in the lost half of the ninth inning. Another good effect of the “old man's" kick wax the battery work done by the team. Ans* himself went to bat four times and made four beautiful hits,each of which helped along or biought rn a run. Duffy and Ryan also did great stick work, and where Chicago had not been able before this reason to hit O'Brien they jumped upon hl* delivery and deliberately batted out their victory. It was a triumph in­ deed for the “old mao,” who of l*te ha* been doing little or no batting compared to his record of laxt season. Cleveland captured tho third game of the series handily—score 7 to 4—thus winning two out of the three, much to the discomfiture of the big Chicago cap­ tain. In this game the double umpire system waa introduced, and Fessenden and McQuaid worked together in firstclaas style. There was no wrangling, badgating or kicking, and the balls and strikes were attended to with care. Chicago has returned home, and during tho remaining days of the month it will meet the four Eastern league teams— Washington, New York, Philadelphia, and Boston. Williamson will rejoin the team July 4, when Ire expects to play his first game of the reason in Chicago. The return of the big short-stop will be hailed with joy by even lover of base-ball in the lake city, for his coming will put tbe teem iu amooth working order again. CCMKEJTT RASE-11ALL TALK.

I concluded to pay as little attention as possible to her.

Mr. Rayner had sug­ gested I should wear it under my ureas. I was grateful for his kindness, and would have been glad to oblige ihim, but- there were two reasons •which prevented me. The first was that it looked as if I were ashamed of it, and the discovery by Mrs. Rayner, or Sarah, for instance, that I was •wearing it concealed, would have gnadc me feel guilty and uncomfort­ able. The other? reason was that I al­ ready wore around my neck a little case made out of the back of an old E, and it contained the bit of 1 with Mr. Reade’s apology which pulled off the rose.

Then, as Mr. and Mrs. Ray­ ner stopped to speak to some one, Mr. Reade said; “It seems such a long time since Tuesday.” • Tuesday was the day on which he bought the marbles. I said gravely: . “It is just five days.” . “Yes, but they have been such long days.” said he. in a low voice. “Not really,” I answered. “The days are getting shorter and shorter now.” . “ Don’t you know how long a day seems when you want to see a—a per­ son, and you can’t? But perhaps you see the person you like best to see every day?” “I like to see mv mother best, and she is a long way off,-" said I gravely. "Ah, yes. of course! But I wasn't thinking ot one's family.” “Perhaps you were thinking of the pretty girls who were in your pew last Sunday?” "The Finches—Ethel and Katie? Oh, no, 1 wasn't! I see quite enough of them. They’re coming again, too, to the school-treat. Don't see why they can’t be contented with their own tea­ fights. No; I was thinking of some­ body quite different Can’t you guess iwho?’1 In the pause which followed his words I distinctly heard Mr. Rayner’s bright voice saying archly: "Laurence seems to have a great ad­ miration for our pretty little Miss Chrislie; doesn’t he, Mrs. Reade?” . I did not hear her answer, but it was given in a displeased tone; and a min­ ute afterward she called her son sharp­ ly and said they are waiting for him. This was to be a busy week in the parish. The school-treat, was fixed to take place on Saturday; and the fol­ lowing^ day was to be the harvest fes­ tival. The blisses Reade had undertaken most of the decoration of the church, as the vicar’s wife had enough to do in preparation for the school-feast and ac­ companying sale. The next day Haidee and I took a longer walk than usual; and. when we returned, Jane met me with a mysteri­ ous air in the hall. “Oh, Miss Christie, young Mr. Reade called while you was out, and asked to Bee you! He said he had a message for you. And, when I said you was out and offered to give it to yon, be said he had better write it, as it was impor­ tant. So he wrote a note for you; and please it wasn’t my fault, but Sarah Et bold of it, and she took it to Mr. yner. I told her it was directed to you; but she wouldn’t take no notice.” I went up-stairs very much annoyed by this fresh indignity offered me by that hateful Sarah, and hurt and sorry besides, for I was longing to know what the note said. As soon as I got into the dining-room, however, Mr. Rayner came up to me amilllng, and put it into my hands. “Here is a billet-doux which has been left for you. Miss Christie. Now whom do you expect one from?” “From nobody, Mr. Rayner,” said I, bkuhinz verv much. I opened it at onca to show that I did not think it of any consequence. It only said: I think I was a little disappointed in the note; but it was all the better, as 1 could repeat in quite a careless way what it said; and then, just as 1 was wondering whether 1 should tear it up to show that I did not care, I saw that there was something written on the in­ side leaf, and I put it back into the'en­ velope as if I did not notice what I was doing, and slipped it into my pocket. Dinner was long that day; when it was over I went into school-room and Why were you so unkind on Sun­ aaswar; I coulS only wait tnl next day al a quarter past two. Bat I think I oouid have sung through the lessons like tLa heroine of an opera that after­ noon. I bad not thought it necessary to mention to Mr. Rayner the time at which Mr. Reade Lad said he should bring the work; at a quarter part two wc were always ia the drawing-room all together. But the next day, the day of all others when it was import­ ant that I should stay and hear the explanations about the work I bad to do, Mrs. Rayner asked me. directly after dinner, If I would mind writing some letters for her, to go by that afternoon’s post I should bate sat down to write them in the drawing­ room. but Mra. Rayner said: “ You would like to be undisturbed, I know. Shall I send your coffee to your room or the school-room?” I said “ to my room, if you please,” and went up stairs trying to swallow the lump in my throat. I had got through one stupid letter— they were not at all important—when there was a knock at the door, and Jane came in, giggling and excited. “Oh, miss. I've brought you a par­ cel, and I have made Sarah so wild!”— and she laughed delightedly. “I an­ swered the bell, ana there was Mr. Reade on his horse with this; and he said, ’take it to the school room, please; it's for Miss Christie;’ and then he got off, and I sliowed him into the drawing-room. And I saw you wasn’t, in there, nor yet in the school-room. So. when I got into the hall, thinks I, •I’ll be beforehand with old Sally this time!’ when out she comes and says, •give that to me. I’ll give it to Miss Qiriatie.’ ‘Nover mind.’ nays I, half way up the stairs—’don’t you trouble.’ And she made a grab at me, but I was too quick for her, and up I run; and hero if is, miss.” And she slapped the parcel down upon the table triumphantly. "Thank you, Jane,” I said quietly. “It is only some work for the church from Miss Reade." Jane's face fell a little; and then, as if struck by a fresh thought, she gig­ gled. again. I cut the string and opened the parcel to prove the truth of my words, end showed her the red Cannel and the wheat-ears, which were to be sown on in letters to form a text. But in the middle was another note, and a box wrapped up in paper, both directed to "Miss Christie;’’ and at sight of these little Jane’s delight grew irrepressible again. • «."! knew it!” she began; but stopped herself and said: “I beg your pardon, miss,” and left the room very de­ murely. But I beard another burst of merri­ ment as she ran down stairs. Then 1 opened the note; it only said: “Diab Miss Christis—I take the liberty of senates you a few late ru»es from a tree in a sheltered corner where the rain can not spoil them. 1 hope they won't smell of cigars; I could not And a better box. 1 trill call to tetch the text, if you will let me know when The roses were in a cigar-box. and as long as they lasted they never smelt of any thing but tobacco; but I began to think that perfume nicer than their own. I was so happy that evening that I was glad when Mr. Rayner asked me to accompany his violin. It was halfafter ten before we ceased playing the (ituwionate and sweet music he had se­ eded from “Il Trovatore” and similar operas. When we had finished, Mr. Rayner put down his violin, and, drawing a chair close to mv music-stool, ran iiis lingers over the keys of the piano. . "Do you know the words?’J’to the aajn'te cAe cos’ eamorc,' ho sung softly. “Do vou know what that means?” "Oh, yes!” said I, rather proud of showing off my small knowledge of Italian. “ ‘You know what love is.’ ” I drew my music-stool a little back. and listened while he sung it softly through. I had never knmyn a love­ song touch me like that before. When ho baa finished he turned round. 1 did not move or speak, and he jumped up, walked to the shutters and unbarred them and threw open the windows. “I am suffocating. Oh. for a Vene­ tian balcony!” said he. “Come here, little woman.” I rose and obeyed. He threw a woolen antimacassar round my head and shoulders, and drew me to the window. “Look up there, child, at the moon through the tree-tops. Wouldn't you like to be in Venice, listening by moonlight to those sweet songs in the very native land of the love they sing about? I would give the whole world to be there at this moment with the woman I love. I could make her understand there!” I was struck by the passionate tenderness in his voice, and suddenly mbde up mv mind to be very bold. “Then why don’t vou take her there, Mr. Raynerr” I said, earnestly. As I spoke, smiling at him and speaking as gently as I could, though I felt terribly frightened at my own boldness, his eyes seemed to grow darker, and his whole face lighted up in an extrabrdinaiy way. I saw my words had made an impression, so I went on eagerly, pressing nervously the hand with which he was holding mine, for I was still afraid lest, my audacity should offend him. "Mr. Rayner, forgive me for speak­ ing about this; but you spoke first, didn't you? I have so often wondered why you didn't take her away. It seems so hard that you, who'want sympathy so much—you know you have often told me so—should have to live, as you say. a shut-up life, on ac­ count of the apathy of the woman to whom you are bound.” He seemed to drink in my words as if they contained an elixir; I could feel 5' his hand that ho was actually treming; and I grew more assured my­ self. “Now, if you were to take her away, although you might have a difficulty at first in persuading her to go, and force her, with the kina force you know how to use, to go among fresh faces and fresh people, I believe she would come back to Hfd again, and hoc liow much better you are than other husbands, and love you just. as much as ever. Oh, she couldn’t help it; you are so । kind and good!” j Then mv heart sunk, for I saw I had ' gone too far. As I spoke, from p**I rtonately eager, he looked surprised, .UM then w-u his »» face clouded over ' puzzled, ana that chilled — me ~?± with : with u X. a _ cold frown 2_; fear and shame. I drew my hand out tiie room. Ho followed and took my hand again, •■Nevermind, little on®; you have not offended me by speakingyour mind out; don’t be afraid. But you don’t or how deep a man’s cares may be while be is obliged to bear a brave front to the world. I think youswould be sorry for me if you knew them.” “I am sorry even without knowing them,” I said, softly. He bent down over me and looked into my eyes for a few moments. Then he raised his head, and laughed lightly. “You are a fraud. Great gray eyes ought to be passionate, and yours are as cold as a lake on a still day. I be­ lieve you are an Undine! You have no soul. . “Oh, Mr. Rayner!” I said, mourn­ fully, and I turned slowly to the piano to put away the music. “Nevermind; I will do that," said he. in his usual tone. “I have kept Slong enough.

CHAPTEH XII. I went to my room very quietly for fear of waking Mona. It was a calm night, but as I entered the room my candle went suddenly out, and I fan­ cied I heard a slight sound of a human breath blowing it The room was very dark for the fire was out and not a ray of moonlight could penetrate the tight­ ly closed blinds. I was somewhat frightened and began a timid search for the matches on the mantle piece, and in passing my hand over the. vari­ ous articles thereon I knocked ovei4 a china ornament, which fell into the fireplace. Just as this happened I heard n noise behind the screen and turning was in time to see the dim out­ line of a figure pass out of the room through the still open door. I was faint with fear and could not move for a few momenta Then I searched further for the matches without suc­ cess. It was out of the question to think of disrobing without a light, so I determined to conquer my fears and go down stairs and procure matches which. I reflected. I should be sure to find in the kitchen. So I groped my wav down the back staircase, where I bad never been before, and opened a closet door. The moment I did so I beard a sound on the floor which I knew was the rush of myriads of block beetles, and as I would rather face a dozen people than feel under my foot the "scrunch” of one black beetle I shut the door quickly. The only thing left for me was to grope my way through the passages to the ball where I knew the exact posi­ tion of the match box which stood on the hall table. Having got safely to the bottom of the staircase without seeing or hearing any thing, I was creeping along the passage when I caught the first faint ' sounds of voices. I stopped, then went on again softly, while the sounds be­ came plainer. I found that they proceeded from Mr. Rayner’s study, the door of which I had to pass. I dis­ . covered by the thin thred of light it let out upon the passage that this door ’ was ajar, at the same moment that I recognized Sarah’s voice. She was speaking in a low sullen tone, and, as ! I drew nearer. I wm arrested half 'against my will by words which seemed to apply to myself—"Against the stupid 1 baby-face of a chit hardly out of the nursery herself. Governess indeed!” “is that all you have to say?” said , Mr. Rayner, very low. bat in his coldest, 'most cutting tone. "That’s—that’s all I have to sav,” said Sarah, with a choking sound inner voice. The woman was ev dently unhappy; I. almost pitied her “Then the matter is easily settled. ■ You can go." “I can go! I go! Do you know what .you're saying? Do you think you •could replace me as easily as you can such as her?" "That is my affair. You wished me ( to choose between the services of an underpaid governess and those of an overoaid servant.

My work is not over yet, and, if I don’t work for you. I’ll work against you," she broke out in a fury. ‘Til—” “ Not so fart, nut so fart,” said he alowly. "You will find that up-hill work when you have to deal with me, Sarah Gooch.” He spoke in the hard tone I had heard him use once or twice before—a tone which always made me shudder. Then bis voice changed suddenly to a genial. almost caressing tone. ** Now do you think you will be able to get on without me as well as I can without you?" There was a pause. Then I heard Sarah burst into aobs and low passion­ ate cries for pity, for forgiveness. “ Why are you so hard?

They have made the temperance sentiment in this coun­ try. They are called fanatics, the) are called cranks, they are called lunatics.

It will jih them up more than anything else to a plat­ form of equality with men. Do you expect all manner of dire result from it? Do you expect they will simply duplicate men’s votes? I have been in Kansas since the women were allowed to vote, and they told me women were the most independent voters in Kansas. They will not duplicate the men’s vote*. My husband voted the Republi­ can ticket. If I could have voted, I should have voted for Ffak. My hus­ band voted for protection. I should have voted for free trade.

We quartered ouraelyes at the Occidental, where we found the rest of the “gang” domiciled, and at once made our way to the opera house, where an executive meeting of the ^Association was in session; the principal business of this session being to make about forty of us new fellows full-blown members’of the Association and to listen to an excellent paperiby James Slocum, of the Holly Advertis­ er, on “The Cash in Advance System.” grounds, where we were highly enter­ tained by the process of operations. Returning to the Ottawa street depot, the train took on the tardy members, and steamed past the Monroe Manu­ facturing Co.'s works, the Muskegon Car works, the Muskegon Furniture Factory and other pointe of interest, to Fruitport, where we witnessed the process of bansfonning iron ore into pig iron. Also an interesting new process of unloading an ore vessel. Then via Kirk’s Junction and Mona Lake werode on to Lakeside; stopping to inspect the two great saw mills of the Thayer Lumber company, one mill fitted with two endless band saws, the other with two circulars and a “gang” which indeed seemed capable of eating more than the “press gang.” Here also we saw an immense 10-block shingle machine in operation.

Shortly after one o’clock the frater­ nity, accompanied by the citizens’ com­ mittees, boarded the steamer Van Raalte, took a trip around Muskegon lake, and several miles out on the blue waters of old Lake Michigan. Re­ turning to Port Sherman we witnessed an interesting drill of the well-traiued "U. S. Life Saving crew. Afterward, re-embarking, we were taken to Inter­ lake Park, at North Muskegon, where an exhibition drill was given by the Muskegon Rifles, a wonderfully welldrilled company, under the command of Capt. J. R. Bennett. This exhibition was followed by a game of base ball between the Muskegon club and the Owashtanongs of Grand Rapids, the latter being easy winners in a five In­ ning game. At six o'clock we returned to the city, and after supper witnessed an exhibition by the MuakegontCbemicalFire Engine Company. A pine cottage had been erected in front of the Occidental. This was drenched with oil and other inflammables and set on fire. After the building w as so enveloped in flames that it seemed im­ possible to save a board of it, a stream from a small extinguisher was turned on and in an incredibly short space of time the flames were suppressed and the charred remains of the building left standing.

When the editors first arrived in the city, the officers of the Muskegon club generously turned over to them then magnificent club house, and the offer was accepted in the same spirit by the editors, who took possession of the beautiful home and occupied it as though it were their very own.

This branch of the amusements will be watched by lovers of the rifle from all perts of tbe county. This being the last chance that we can pub­ licly fnrite you aa friends and lovers of your township, as well as those living outride; to be with us on that glorious Fourth, to commem­ orate the birth of our glorious and prosperous government* I ask you earnestly and cor­ dially to consider well before leaving us. A few facts that I should endeavor to bring be­ fore you, concerning celebrations of this kind. We have a past record to tall back upon, and that record shows that every celebration that that was ever held at Woodland was a success. That although we did not advertise extensive­ ly we showed all and a good deal more than was on our bills, and each and every time people went home satisfied that they had been amply repaid for their trouble and time. Ara just so it will be this year. We have not put up a great big spread eagle, whose teak is feeding quietly upon tbe rock-bound shores of the Pacific, while its tall feathers are lulled into slumber by the gentle waves of the Atlan­ tic. Such advertising looks well on paper, but like tbe crack regiment of Zouaves, who were organized, drilled, equipped, and dressed tn tbe most gorgeous style, they showed up well on dress parade but signally failed when It came to general action. Just so it will be in this case. Our people arc quietly but surely preparing to give yon a good rousing time, and If you come you will be sure to have it. Don’t be allured elsewhere upon the flimsy pretense that you are going to see a man jump from a scaffold a couple of hundred feet, for if you go with that Idea In your bead you certainly will be mistaken. Again It is a well known fact that a certain custom has prevailed In this vi­ cinity for a number of years, that when one village celebrates tbe rest held over and helped them make it a success, that custom our village has always observed, and last year every thlug was quiet and our people went and helped their neighbors, butlo, mark tbechange when it comes cur year, to celebrate. Our neighbors got together and with might and main arc trying their very best to knock us out. That is the kind of reciprocity that they believe in returning for the favors shown them by ns last year. People of Woodland, It re­ mains with you to say whether they will suc•are of outside help enough from the east, south and west to insure success. Time alone tell whether our people will cruelly desert us at the critical time or not, we do not believe they will. Our committee on arrangements have the fireworks ordered and those who were with us two years ago can judge what they Of course we have no saloons to put a big bonus into our contribution for the purpoee of letting them violate tbe laws of our state and pour out intoxicating drinks until the ground is submerged. We have none of those advan­ tages, but we have a great many generous business men who have contributed to our funds uutii we nave ample funds to defray all you will never regret tbe time when you stood by your people in the prosperous moments.

Mr. Cha^lea French, of New York, easily adapted himself to his sudden and nbvel environment. He was mak­ ing » tour of his own country previous to going abroad, and cared very little about an adventure which so far bad terminated so happily for his life, and limbs. His quick perception told him that he was the hero of an adventure. His guide and his boon companions on the hunt had all witnessed the acci­ dent and although they might now bo searching for his corpse, they would, when they found Miu alive, verify his marvelous story. What an adventure for a club tale, backed *ip by a half dozen club men as spectators! In his golden dreams of himself as the future hero of the club he stretched out on his back on the big log and went to sleep. Two hours elapsed before he awoke. A load eall as of some one in distress had dismrbed his slumbers. Looking around half dazed, and trying to re­ member where and why be was, he saw a girl on a narrow strip of ac­ cumulated silt and at the base •• Help! ” she cried wildly gwticulatIn*.

He was enjoying the scenery of the canyon and specu­ lating on tbe ve­ locity of the river beneath. He had not long to wait to •seertain the truth. Tho rock on ■rhich he was standing suddenly broke off; he was pitched violently out into fihe stream, narrowly escaping death from the rock itself. Here’s a pretty mess," he mused, climbing on to a big floating log and blowing the muddy water from his mouth. “Now. why in the name of the dickens couldn’t 1 havo had my tahot-gun in hand when I fell. What chance shots at ducks and geese I bright have had! Then there’s the dog, and the horse, and tbe luggage. »nd oh. blame it all, the provisions at the mercy of fihat rascally, big-mouthed, alwayshnngry guide.

Query: Can a man kill a duck with a ritol? she cried. placed his hands on one end and with hit feet as paddles and rudder steered it ashore as millions ot boys have done when in swimming with other boys. When the prow of his strange craft run its nose upon the silt bed he lazily climbed upon the outer end and sprawled out in tho sun to dry. “Oh, sir! can you not get mo out of this dreadful position? If the current should rise a foot I would be swept And if so, need he starve? If “Certainly, miss! Allow me." He sprang ashore, gallantly assisted her to get upon the log and pushed off. Then he seated her as comfortably as possible and sat down beside her. He looked at his watch and ascertained that it was not yet noon. The girl, who had at first turned pale with fright, began to got calm in the pres­ ence of his utter indifference to enTironmenL “Excuse me," he said, abruptly. “Now. bow in the deuce—I beg your pardon—I mean, how did you get in such a place as that Come down in a ballooa?" “if it wouldn't be impudent, sir, might I enquire how you camo aboard such a craft as this?" “I was hurled off the precipice by a section of the rock giving away. When 1 saw this big log floating with a nice moss back, I just naturally climbed aboard and concluded to take a little ride before dinner." “How wonderful! But, really, can’t you assist me to the top of tho canyon wall again? My friends will be crazed at my absence.” •• Certainly, at the first opportunity. I wouldn’t mind meeting your friends myself, particularly if they happen to have a morsel to eat along, and a little old rye to brace one. This is a great atmosphere for something bracing. You haven't informed me how you got on to that silt bed. No living being can climb up or down these walla" •• My story is brief and not so thrill­ ing as yours. I was out collecting the strange, wild flowers that grow in this country, and gradually worked down a favorable incline of the can­ yon until 1 got to the bottom. I tried to get back but couldn't climb up. I shouted for help, but could attract no attention. Finally I saw the lug and a man asleep on top His lack of real­ ization of danger gave me courage. You know tho rest." “Oh. no! I don’t know the rest am thank* Tv! even for life, to be aerioua Few people who fall two hundred feet know ■what the enjoyment* of life are.

This log might be so small that we ■oould not sit on It high and dry above water. It might havo been slimy and slippery instead of beautiful and heavi­ ly overgrown with moss. By tbe way, Door child, doesn’t your back ache on Account of sitting up so straight with nothing to lean upon? ’’ ‘‘Yes, very much; but I don’t mind It You have given me courage and 'hope. Do not also worry about me." “We can mend matters by sitting With our backs together if you don’t mind." ' The pair arranged themselves, seated in an upright position with their backs together. Somehow, when they spoke they turned their faces so that their eheeks rubbed together, at which Miss 'Harrington blushed violently and hastily turned her head, while the young man’s heart throbbed as it had never done before. “By the way," said Mr. French at last, “I am fearfully hungry. How do you feel?" “I am quite hungry, too, but don’t worry about that Let us not talk on the subject, but try and forgot our “ Not at all. I am going to shoot one ol those ducks ahead there, one of the canvas backs Now if you will excuse the use of my back temporarily I will blase away. One shot, uo good. Sec­ ond shot—ah, two ducks dead—pretty good for a pistoL ” As the ducks were floating ahead of the log at the same rate of speed, he •prang into the water and rapidly overtook them. He was somewhat ex­ hausted on returning, and handed the ducks to Miss Harrington. Thon he tried to climb on the log. but slipped back, exhausted. Miss Harrington put out her hand aud grasped his. Many a man has seen times in his life when, if a girl had put out her little hand when he was all surrounded with darkness and despair, his fortunes would have bloomed again as the rose. Many a girl lias lost the man she loved for hesitating at the critical moment when her lover’s fortune hung in a balance. Remember, young ladies, that the man who falls rises higher than ever when he again gets up. With the aid of Miss Harrington, Mr. French once again was safe on the log. “I owe my life to you," he said, fervently pressing the hand that saved him. ••But I owe mine doubly to you. You not only rescued me but risked your life to get me some food.’’ ••Can you cook?" he asked, sudden­ ly changing the subject’’ ••Oil, yes,’’ said the yonng lady, blushing and' laughing at the ridicu­ lousness of the suggestion. Mr. French took a metallic box from his pocket and with a match set one end of the log on fire. ••Now," said he, “while I confine the fire with water, you roast tbe ducks." In a few minutes tbe girl pronounced the ducks as in. a proper edible con­ dition, and Mr. French carved them with bis pocket-knife. The pair then sat down facing each other and en­ joyed the novel banquet as they had never enjoyed eating before- It was late in the afternoon when the can▼ass-backs had satisfied them. The sun was getting so Suspiciously toward the horison that his light no longer touched the east wall of the canyon. Miss Agnes Harrington suddenly looked up, with a half appealing, half dread expression on her beautiful face. “Mr. French." she said, “do you think we will have to ride all night?" ••I fear so." “Oh. this is dreadful" and she bowed her face in her hands. He looked at her a moment in puazlod manner. Then he comprehended. -Moving very near to her be took the hands in his own and kissed them very tenderly, considering abort acquaint­ ance. “Miss Agnes," he said, “pardon me for calling you Agnes, I feel the am in for a voyage down the Mis­ souri on a tog, why not enjoy myself?

When this in­ formation camo upon the State's Attorney and tho Investigating committee It was a complete surprise.

"She shall not come near you, child: l swear it! You are quite safe. I will lock the door at the bottom of these stairs, and como and let you out my<eif iu the morning,” he said, in a low voice. The thought of being locked in did not reassure me much; but I -hanked him and wished him guodlight, with a last piteous appeal to keep Sarah away. Then I groped :n the dark until 1 found a match and lighted my candle which I placed by my bedside. > lay awake a long time but finally, worn out, I fell asleep. The following morning Mr. Rayner .inlockod my door and conducted me to the breakfast-room. I was looking very white and haggard. The thought of having Sarah wait on me at the Able filled me with dread, and with •jghtly closed lips I awated her appearince. But to my great relief Jane waited an tbe table. Had Sarah, gone already? My heart leaped at the thought Al breakfast Mr. Rayner proposed that Haidee and I accompany um.to town, saying that both mistress :md pupH were looking as though a holiday would do them good. 1 as­ sented. rather nervously, and he told me to be ready in an hour’s time. After breakfast I went to my room, where I found Jane attending to tbe work. She looked at me shyly and I feit iure she had heard some’tliing of my idvcnture. I wanted to know what. She prepared to leave the room as I entend. "Never mind, Jane; don’t go. So you are doing the rooms this morn­ ing?'’ "Yes, miss. I have got to get into the way of iL You know Sarah is going away, miasP" "Is she?" and I could not keep my face from brightening. "But what is she going away for?" "Oh its all along of you. miss! She burst into cook and me this morning, and said she would not stay iu a bouse where there were sucu goings on. Oh, she said all kinds o’ things about you; but cook and I paid no attention to them; we’re used to old Sally. But then she said—she said—” • “ Yes—well?" "She said as how she went up to your room, hearing a noise, and then —as how—” “Go on.” •• Then as how—Mr. Rayner came up and—and wasn’t best pleased to find her there—” “ Yes—well." But Jane would not go on, but got very red and fidgeted about with the doth she was holding. And suddenly, as I watched the gin in wonder, the whole awful truth flashed upon me of tbe complexion that Sarah Lad given to the story. I did not speak for a minute—and then I said very quietly: " I suppose she didn’t tell you that Ae tried to steal something I wear -ound my neck; that, when she found •be couldn't, she threw a handkerchief steeped with some drug over my face jo make me unconscious, that she night get st it more easily; that It was ny screams that brought Mr. Rayner .rp-staira, and that he stood outside and jailed her till she came to him. Here, m show you the very handkerchief." I had tucked it down in the corner •if one of tbe drawers. It still smelt faintly of the stuff it had been soaked in. Little Jane's face brightened with wondar and downright honest pleas­ ure “Tm that glad, miss, I could dance," said she. “She said Mr. Rayner let harfaH down-stairs in tho dark, and went on up without taking no notico— usd she really is a good deal bruised, ind serves her riglrt. But there never is no believing Sarah. And for her to talk about goings-on! Oh. my, we did laugh, cook and me!” And Jane chattered on about Sarah and her many .mpleasant attributes till she had •imsbed her work, and left the room with, a bright pin of friendship. 80 Sarah, after doing me a wrong, worse Chan all the rest in circulating lies to injure my reputation, was go­ ing. But she would probably not go it once and I felt I could not sleep an>ther night in the same house with her. I had resolved to leave the Alders as I lay awake the night before. I disliked Kayner and sweet little Haidee. And1 there was still another reason which made the thought of leaving Geldban* harder than ever. But the terrors !, had passed through outweighed all other considerations. So I packed my, boxes and was ready to go. I had no salary yet, as 1 had not been two months at the Alders, but my uncle hadgiven mo a sovereign for emergen­ cies' So I went to the study to inform Mr. Rayner of my intention, rather nervously, and I took the drugged handkerchief with me to convince him my adventure was not mere fancy, as I thought he might try to make me be­ lieve! Mr Rayner received me kindly and gave me a ehair. Then asking me to wait a minute while he spoke to Sam, but a moment when I heard a noise and looking up saw Sarah. I sprung to my feet with a scream and darted to the bell. mg. I did not mean to hurt you last night; and I didn't’ want to Meal your letter. 1 only wanted to read it. I am hoiror little Having a call out of town aom* five the I’ve come to ask you to forgive me." She said all this In a hard dry tone, not Im though she felt ft at all. “Ng, no; - I can’t forgive you,” I said, incoherently. “It wasn't only your trying to steal my letter and to stupefy me, but the cruel way you looked at me—as if—you would like to kill me. I can’t forget it—Oh! I can't forget it. And you did worse than that. You told cook, Mr Rayner was coming to my room. Oh that was wicked of you, for you knew It wasn't true." “That’s that little tattling Jane, I know!” said Sarah, vixenisuly. “I never said such 3 thing at all; but she likes to make a story up of everything she hears.” I was silent for a minute. Sarah be­ gan again in a different tone: vant. Miss Christie. I don’t deny that I was jealous of you. and that I want­ ed to prove to Mr. Rayner that you had letters on the sly from a young gentle­ man. There now—I’ve made a clean breast of it! But don’t it seem hard that I, who’ve served him and his well . for nigh seven years, should have to go just at the word of a young lady who hasn't been here two months?” “It Isn’t at my word, Sarah; I have had nothing to do with it And, as to your going away, I heard about it only this morning through asking Jane why she was doing mv room." “Then you don't want me to go awav?" • “It doesn’t matter to me whether you go or stay, as I have packed my boxes, and ani going back to London myself this very afternoon.” Sarah started. Then she gave a dis­ agreeable laugh. •• You won't go." she said. “You can go up-stairs. and look a! my boxes," I said, indignantly. “Have you spoken to Mr- Rayner about it yet. may I ask, miss?" said she, drylv. “Not yet; but I am going to tell him this morning." “Then would you mind, licfora you go, miss”—she laid a peculiar emphasis on these words—"asking Mr. Rayner to let me stay? It won't matter to .you, you see; but it's more to me than Y can telL" “But what I might say wouldn’t make any difference, Sarah," I remon­ strated, presently. "You overrate my importance in this household in the strangest way. My words haven’t half the weight with Mr. Rayner that yours have.” Sarah looked at me eagerly as I said this, but she did not seem satis­ fied. "That is quite right and natural, j ns you have been here so long and are so much older, too." She did not like my saying that, I saw, by the tightening of her thin lips; but I certainly had not meant to offend her. However, after a minute’s pause, she said again: “Then, as you won’t be afraid of your words having any effect, miss, perhaps you will the less mind asking Mr. Rayner to let me stay.” I concluded that as I wns goingawav it would make no difference, so I said: ••Very well; I will ask him." As soon as the words had left my lips she thanked me coldly and left toe room without showing the least grati­ tude. When Mr. Rayner returned to the study I informed him of my intention to leave the Alden at once. ’"And, oh, Mr. Rayner," I went on quickly, "yoq mustn’t think me ungrateful or ca­ pricious; but I have packed my boxes, and I want you to release me from my engagement, and let me go back to Loixlon by this afternoon’a_lrain! For, if I had to sleep in that room another pight. I should go mad." "My dear child," he said, gravely, “you can’t do that—for our sakea” “But I must—I must, indeed,” I cried, piteously. “You don't know, Jou can’t tell what I suffered when I elt her hand creeping up to my throat, and thought I was going to be killed— I did, indeed. Ana then I thought the stuff on the handkerchief was poison. She says it is only something to make me sleep. Is it true, Mr. Rayner? Hero is the handkerchief." And I pulled it from my pocket and gave it to him. "Quite true," said he; but I saw him frown. “It is chloroform, which she got out of my medicine-chest. No, that wouldn’t have hurt you, child; but it was a cruel trick all the same Do you know what she did it for?" "Oh. yes, she told me! She wanted to get at a letter—from a—from a friend which I won round my neck. But I have forgiven her and promised I would aak you to let her stay. I told her iTwouldn’t matter what 1 said; but she made me promise.” "And what made you think what you said wouldn’t matter?” asked he, gentty. • "There is no reason why It should.” said L “But I couldn’t have promised to ask you to let her stay if I had not been going avjayipyself. Mr. Rayner, you must let me go.” “I will let you go if you wish IL But you can not go to-day. Think what people would say of us if it got rumored about that our child’s governess was so cruelly treated under our roof that she went away without a day’s ■warning. No; you shall have a differ­ ent room, or Jane shall sleep in yours for a week or so, until your very natur­ al nervousness has gone off; and then, if. at the end of the three months, you still wish to go, why, we won’t keep you. child, though I think some of us will never get over it if you leave us too suddenly.” He spoke so sweetly, eg kindly, and yet with such authority of superior wisdom, that I bad to give way. Then, bound by my promise, I had even to ask again that Sarah should stay, and he agreed that she should. But later in tho day it was not pleasant to see Sarah’s acid smile as she said, when she heard I waa going towtoy: "I told you so, miss.” And when I said to her: "I kept my —____ _____ : promtre. and a»k«l Mr. Karaerforyoa to .lay, Sarah.” .he answ«4d: -rten lamtoatay, ofoourae. in tho same tone.

When the history of English horti­ culture in the nineteenth century comes to be written its remarkable feature will be the position held by the orchid family. In a period of less than fifty years tho cultivation of orchids has developed into almost a passion, and has become an important commercial industry. There are mill­ ions of pounds invested in orchids iu England alone. Collectors are in all parts of the wc^ld searching for them. They are objects of interest to all classes of the community. There are a few horticutlurists who profess to despise orchids, and who constantly discover that a reaction against them is setting in. But these plants are more popular now than over, and this popularity seems on the increase. And yet there is no orchid society in England. Such plants as chrysanthemums, carnations, auricu­ las and roses have each their own so­ ciety. Weak efforts to start an orchid society have been made, but they came to nothing. There is. however, special representation prom Led for orchids now, the Royal Horticutltural Society having decided to appoint a committee of specialists to adjudicate on orchids alone. such a committee is wanted is abundantly evident The number of mon who possess a knowl­ edge sufficient to enable them to decide which orchids are good and which bad, what is new and what is simply an old plant under a new name, is quite lim­ ited. When one remembers that at the present time there are close upon two thousand species in cultivation, not to mention the most countless va­ rieties and hybrids, the necessity for the step which the Royal Horticultural Society is about to take must be ap­ parent —Garden and Forest Breeding Rafi in London. —Eugene Field.

STRAY STATISTICS. It is asserted by a leading statistician of England that more person* annually choke to death while eating in that country than are killed oa tho English railroads. Statistics show a growth of >38,000,000 in the value of tho country's exports in a twelve month, and a growth, also, in the value of imports to the amount of >18,000,000. Ur to 1884 the English post-office had Is­ sued 31,302,000,000 postage stamps. That would cover 3,703 square miles, and would reach to the moon and back if placed end tc Evropb raise* 1,200.000,000 bushels of wheat yearly, twice as much as th* Amer­ ican production.

Five per oent. ot all marriages are fruitless, 19 per cent, among tho “nobility.” Out of 1,000 persons, 603 ore unmarried, 345 mar­ ried and 53 widowed; and over half of tho women between 15 and 45 are unmarried. There are 83 births daily for each 1,000 of population; 11 twin* in 1,000 birth. The report of the Commissioner of Labor gives these figures concerning strikes: During the six “contentious years," 1831-86, there were 3,903 strikes, involving 22,304 es­ tablishments and 1,323,203 employes; 2,214 establishments ordered lockouts of 100,823 employes. The total loss of wages to em­ ployes was nearly >60,000,000. The employ­ ers suffered to tho amount of >34,163,814, making a loss of nearly >100,000,000. The total tobacco consumption in tho Netherlands is a little over seven pounds to each inhabitant; In Austria-Hungary, 8.8 pound*; in Denmark, 8.7 pounds; in Switxerland, 8.3 pounds; in Belgium, 3.2 pounds; in Germany, 8 pounds; m Norway, 2.3 pounds; in France, 2.1 pounds; in Sweden, nearly 2 pounds; In Spain, 1.7 pounds; in Great Britain and Ireland, 1.34 pounds: in Italy, 1.25 pounds, and In Russia, 1.2 pounds.

During the carnival fetes the two armies, the armydn petticoats and the army that wears epaulets, learn to know each other thoroughly. Friendships spring up, the young man pays court, and one day, without hav­ ing consulted any body, two fiances como to ask of the parents -a blessing, which ia never refused. The church doos not marry durlug. Lent, so they have to wait until Easter Fashion demands for the celebration of the ceremony the chapel of some pri­ vate house, if the couple have not suf­ ficiently lofty relations to secure the chapel ot tho palace. A family that respects itself ought to have at its wed­ ding as honorary father and honorary mother, if not the Emperor and Em­ press. at least a Grand Duke and a Grand Duchess. The honorary father gives tho holy image, which some little child related to the families carries in front of the fiances. They enter tho church, followed by all their friends in..gala uniform. The ceremony begins; it is very long, and complicated with many symbolic rites; a small table— a sort of movable altar—is placed in the middle of the oratory; the couple are separated from it by a band of rcse-colored satin; when the priest calls, they must ad­ vance, and the first who sets foot on the band, whether husband or wife, will be the one who will impose his or her will In the household. This is an article of faith for all the matrons, who watch them at that moment. On the table is placed the liturgical for­ mulary. the candles which they must hold, the cross which they will^ kiss, the rings which they will exchange, the cup of wino in which they will moisten their lips, and which is called in tho Slavonic ritual “the cup of bit­ terness. •’ Pages relieve each other to carry with outstretched arms two heavy crowns, which must be held above the heads of tho fiances while the ceremony continues. At the de­ cisive moment, when the priest is pronouncing the words that bind them together, the couple walk three times around the altar, followed by the crown-bearers; until the third turn is completed there Is time to turn back: after that the die is cast, the couple are united for life. Thereupon the singers strike up in their most strident voices the joyous hymn, “Let Isaiah rejoice.” Tho bride and groom then go and prostrate themselves before tho Virgin of the Iconostuse. and kiss her filigree robe, after which they pass in­ to the neighboring saloh. whore they gayly clink glasses of champaigns, while the invited guests receive boxes of sweetmeats marked with tho mono­ gram of the young couple.—The Vi­ comte Eugene Melchior de Vogue, in Harper * Magazine. TANNIN FOR THE NEXT CENTENNIAL. Wk»: th* Condition ot Public AtOHre Will Be a Century Hance. Wertdlnr PHTHISIC. Dr. E. Houze, of the Hospital St Jean, Brussels, after having tried the tannin treatment on all his phthisical patients for the last year and eight months, states as the reeult of his ob­ servations that it gives exeelent results In all stages of tbe disease, and espe­ cially in the condition where eavitie* exist. Indeed, he has no hesitation in declaring that of all the different kinds of treatment for phthisis which he has tried this has given by far tho most encouraging results. The dose he em­ ploy* ordinarily is fifteen groins, which quantity is taken three times a day. It is. as a rule, well borne. Where this is not so, it is ordered to be taken with meals. After tho first few days the expectoration and the sweats diminish, the cough decreases, ned in many cases Che appetite undergoes a marked im­ provement • , The majority of tbe patients suffenL from some slight degree of constipa­ tion, though in some this feature was sufficiently marked to require treat­ ment, while others, again, suffered from diarrhoea. The character of the expectoration changed for the better, the sputa be­ coming white'"and frothy instead of green and firm. In some cases the diminution of the expectoration was followed by increased dryness of tbe cough, so that the patients complained that it fatigued them more. This was easily remedied by prescribing a few spoonfuls of sirup of codeia The physical signa underwent a remark­ able change for tbe better, at least those depending on auscultation, moist rales giving place to dry chonchi, and large gurgling rales decreasing prog­ ressively until they gave place to mere blowing respiration. These change* were evidently due to the drying up of the cavities, in consequence of which tbe hectic present in many of the cases vanished, the patients increasing con­ siderably in weight and gaining strength in a remarkable manner. The percussion signs were not found to undergo so marked a change as those dependent on auscultation, but even here some improvement could be de­ tected. No bacteriological observa­ tions were made. —London Lancet The great Centennial is over. That it wan a magnificent occasion goes with­ out saying. Only one criticism will be made when tho scene is contemplated in the perspective of history—the women-patrlots were totally Ignored. Tho white male dynasty was at the fore in full force, and even Whittier, the noblest friend of woman that Amer­ ican manhood counts, made no allusion to us In his magnificent poem of the day. Men everywhere and all tbe time; a spectacle of halfness; of the onesidedness that now imperils the Re­ public; and with no realization what­ ever of the abourdity of their position in thus ruling the Lord's heritage of humanity. Their blindness to tho real rituation, to the most significant feature of the century—"woman’s discovery of her­ self." to employ Francis E. Willard’* phrase—was <ajtor all the most im­ pressive feature of the occasion. Its only parallel is tbe sublime stolidity of the Czar, the Emperor and tho King, to the fact that the only actual King, Emperor and Czar, tho people, have taken up tho calling, tho "divine right,” by which these puppets of an hour ar* supposed to rule; tho "satanic wrong" ot the century, to be put away before another century gets itself well under way.

If tho history of civilization points any one moral so plainly that "ho who runs may read” it is that moral degen­ eracy exists wherever men attempt to banish women from equality and re­ sponsibility, woakoning tho race just in proportion as tho attempt succeeds. I do not think women are naturally better than men; any apparent difference in morals is purely and solely tho result of difference in education. But man and woman may be likened to a pair of scissors, before whom nature has placed the web of life to be cut into shape. Joined together, each part of this hu­ man instrument is ablo to do its share deftly and with good economic results. Our present bungle arises from the fact that in all public affairs man refuses to be riveted to his better half, and clum­ sily and heavily tries to cobble out his work alone.—Mrs. Ellen B. Dietrick.

Gaining Ground. Woman suffrage, instead of losing ground, is steadily gaining. Every year shows some advance, and when we glance over a period long enough to give a fair perspective, tho gain is very considerable. Twenty-five years ago, women, with insignificant exceptions, could not vote anywhere. To-day they have school suffrage in fifteen States, full suffrage in one Territory, munici­ pal suffrage (single women and wid­ ows) throughout England, Scotland, Ontario. Now Brunswick, Nova Scotia, British Columbia, and several of the British colonies at the antipodes. Slowly but surely, the common-sense of the world is evidently working around to a belief in woman suffrage.—Wo­ man’s Column. WHAT WOMEN ARE DOING.

THE BORDER PREACHER. A Singular But True Story—Lights and Shadows of Western Life. [Written for Thli Paper.] LIGHT Rhone from the open door o! the low log struct­ ure that answered the double purpose school-houBC. The gleam fell upon the yellowish leaves of a paw-paw tree that stood close to tho path that led to the door. Beyond the regular mass that moved restlessly in the darkness. Observed closely, it would have resolved itself into a num­ ber of horses -Hod to sapplings, and stepping about restlessly as they stretched their heads toward the tempt­ ing leaves beyond their reach. Divine services were going on in the log building and the tones of the min­ ister floated 'out into the darkness in solemn cadence. Often they were interrupted by a doep, grunted "A-a-u-men!" or “U-m-mah! Yas, Lord!” the manner in which many border worshippers express their approbation of the preacher's utterances. A mounted figure came close to the shaft of light and dismounted. As he did so, the stamping of the restless horses reached his ears. Noiselessly he made his animal fast to a red-bud stem and crept through the bushes to where the uneasy equines were tied. • He passed from horse to horse, feel­ ing swiftly over each, as if in the dark­ ness bis hands were doing duty for eyes in revealing the merits or de­ merits of each animal. The result was not a pleasing one for he uttered a grunt of disgust and muttered, half aloud: “This yere’s the orneriest lay out o’ horses in seven States. Horses, huh! They’re buzzard bait This leetle filly is the only one wuth takin’.” The voice of the preacher came clear and strong to the ears of the man among the horses. He listened a mo­ ment as the clear voice told in simple words the sweet truths of the Bible. Some how. the words of tho Good Book seemed to the man in the dark­ ness to be addressed directly to him­ self. and, presently, as he listened, he removed his old slouch hat as rever­ ently as if he had been within the sanctuary. Then, as the words of invitation and consolation rang out clear and sweet, the man by tho horses removed his hand from the neck of the little mare and muttered; "Preacher is a stunner, shore. Beckon FU leave the filly. Might belong to the preacher, an’ bein’ a preacher, o’ course, hit’s tbe only A* he returned to his own animal, be paused again to listen. Presently, he dropped the hand that was untying the .bridle, imd strode into the bar of light that shone from the open door. 'Hanged if I don’t try Mt a whirl,” I've Mt ia a church." Hi» alouehlng entranoe wa» scarcely »o attentive were they to the preacher's HE MANAGED TO CONVKT THE UNCON­ SCIOUS MAN TO THE UTTLE LOG HUT. The preacher’s slight form stag­ gered under the task. but. by a series of heroic efforts, he managed to con­ vey the unconscious man to the little log hut whore he lived alone. It was many days before the sufferer could domore than sit like u helpless child in the old splint-bottomed rocker and watch the preacher us be limped and forth attending .back ~*~*~ “~« **— to tho wants ot his unexpected guest. .. Tho stranger had been badly hurt. Tho blow on his head as ho camo in contact with a low-hanging limb, had very nearly fractured his skull, and the kick of the horse had broken several ribs. However, he bore his pains without a murmur, and did little but hold his peace and watch every movement of the young preacher. The latter wondered, as tho days passed by, why his guest gave not the least account of himself and expressed no desire to see or send any message to any one. Ho did not mention his name, and the preacher, not given to prying into the affairs of othors, did not ask it. Each day tho preacher seemed to work harder and grow palor. Night­ ly ho preached at ono of several log school-houses, and nightly he walked, llmpingly, to and from the place of worship, unless one of the congrega­ tion furnished tho means of transpor­ tation, and as they rarely did so he most generally walked. During hjs absences the wounded man busied himself with reading tho scanty literature of the house or thought fiercely and often half aloud. One day, there came a letter ad­ dressed in a dainty feminine hand, and the preacher had almost completed its answer when the hour arrived for him to start for tho little log church. After he had gone, the invalid saw that the letter and its unfinished an­ swer lay on the home-made table, and without scruples proceeded to road both. “Frum his sweetheart,” the Invalid said aloud as he finished reading tbe letter. "Pore leetle gal. I kin almost seem to see her as I road them lines. Thar she is, ’way back East waitin’ fer the day when her lover kin send the money to bring her out yere to him. The time hns be’n a mighty long obe already, she says, but she’ll wait fer him if hit takes half her Life- Brave leetie girl! Blds him keep up his cour­ age fer she is shore he’ll soon git the money, fer every body's so generous in the West, and will pay him well for his work, she is certain." The Invalid paused and shook one hard fist at an imaginary auditor. “Yaa, hang ye! Pay him well? Yaa, you’ll pay him well w’en yer dadblamed souls get bigger. If you was white you’d pay more money an' do leas gruntin' in church. Look at hit!” he went on, with rising wrath. “Yere’s a man an’ a Christian a-workto’ tbe life outen his crippled body to save yer souls, an' in return you give him jest enough to keep him from plumb starv­ in’. All the whole kit uv ye air good fer U to raise horses fer me to run oft” Again he shook his fist fiercely at the imaginary auditor. “Thar’s dirt far ye, the dad-blamedetrt dirty dirt ever I seed worked on a answer to the letter Though simply told, it was a story with a world of suspiciously once or twice and rubbed a rusty sun-burned hand across hit >eyea It dwelt but lightly upon hit •trials and spoke most hopefully of the lhappy future when they should meet again. There was pathos In his very (hope, hoping as It wms against almost ‘absolute certainty. It told of the religious enthusiasm of the worship(Pers who nightly listened to the touch­ ings of the Good Book, but said not a word of tho scanty pittance they paid him for his labor, not enough to per­ mit him to buy or hire a horse to ride to and from his labor of duty. When he reached tho abrupt ending of the letter, the reader again shook his fist at the imaginary listener and cursed him roundly. “Two. hundred dollars fer me an' nuthin’ fer this man —this hero!” he half shouted. Suddenly, a thought seemed to strike him. and he brought one hard fist down on the table with a sounding thump. “Hl do hit!” he said, earnestly. Then, as he seized a pen and a piece of paper, he muttered again: "I’ll do. hit; blamed if I don’t! He thall have his sweetheart, an’ that, too, mighty quick!” It was after midnight when tho preacher returned and it seemed to the other that he looked paler and limped more painfully than usual. “My friend,” the preacher said, pres­ ently. "I am glad you have so nearly recovered, for this house can shelter you but a few days longer.” "W’y?” asked the Invalid: “air ye gittin’ tired o’ me?" "Certainly not. But the owner of this house has warned me to-leave* be­ cause I am unable to pay the rent and—" “Is he a member uv yer congrega­ tion?” "He ia” “How much docs he give toward payin’ yer salary?” “It seems as if he could be a trifle more liberal, but the fact is, he gives just one dollar per month, and I am almost forced to bog to get that.” ••What’ll yo do now?” "I do not know. Doubtless I’ll see my way out of it all, but I do not, now, I—’’ k “Parson, will yo do me a favor, one more on lop o’ all you’ve done fer me?” ••Gladly, If : the young preacher replied. “Take this note to the leader of the Protective Association—” , “Amos Hudden?” "That’s him! He's a partic’lar friend o’ mine, an' ’ll be mighty glad to see me. Do this right now an’ hit’ll be the last thing I’ll ask uv ye.” When the young preacher had limped wearily away in the darkness, the other thumped the table with one hard fist and chuckled audibly: “Oh, you bet yer life Amos Hudden’U be glad to see me! So’ll all tbe balance of the vigilantes. Two hundred dol­ lars reward fer me an’ nuthin’ fer the preacher! Wai, he’ll have the two hundred (or givin’ me up an’ tho vigilaates'll have rpe.” Then he sat silent­ ly thinking. “I could skin out yit an’ give ’em the slip,” he muttered, pres­ ently. "This means penitentiary or lynch; most likely lynch!” He picked up the letter from the preacher’s sweetheart, and road it again tn his stumbling way. "Two hundred dollars’ll make them pore souls happy,” he mused. "This yere means lynchin’ fer me, I reckon. Wai, let ’em lynch! Mubby—mebby—” He faltered and paused ns if trying to recollect something. "Mebby—what’s that thar verse in the Bible I yeared the preacher re­ peatin’ t’other night: ‘Greater love hath no man that he lay down his life fer his friend.’ That’s hit, an’ meb­ by-” . The door opened softly and half a dozen mon wipfweapons in their hands entered without a word. Not a move­ ment of the invalid’s face showed that he understood the errand that had brought those stern, silent men to the cabin. “Howdy!” he saluted. "Take cheers, gentlemen.” “Jack Harris,” said the loader of the vigilantes, "we want you!’’ “Wai, haint ye got me?” asked the other, quietly. "Yes,” muttered the leader, we’re a-goin' to keep ye!” "Wai, I don't reckon I blame _ye,. ’ Harris answered. “Hit’s be’n a long time senee ye got a chance at me an’ I don’t wonder ye want to keep me- Did the preacher give ye information?” “Has he got the reward yit?” ••No, of course not! We want goto’ to do no cash in advance business.” There was the sound of a struggle at the door and a voice crying: “Let me go in! I will go in!” “Hit’s the preacher,” some one said. ••Bill’s a-holdin* him outside." A pistol gleamed from beneath the table and Jack Harris' hard hand leveled it at the leader's head.” "Let him in!" he said, sternly. Tho preacher’s white face wm flush­ ed and there were tears in his eyes as himself to death fer yer souls, ye pay him no leetie that the time when he ho limped across tho room to Jack Harris ’ side. kin bring hi» leetie waitin' sweet­ “Oh. my friend,” he cried, "what heart West off! have I dona?

Then each produced his pocket-book and dropped a sum of money into the leader's slouch bat Ab the money was poured on the table, Harris laid the pistol beside it “Thar,” he said, ‘•take me.'" Then, as hand-cuffs were quickly snapped onto his wrists, he turned to the young preacher. "Parson,” he said, "that’ll make you and tho leetie gal in the East happy. Good-bye!” Tho young preacher sprang forward. "Mon,” he cried, ' “one moment!” Then in tones that thrilled the hearts of the listeners he told tho story, of the horse thief's sacrifice. The little group shuffled about uneasily when he had finished. "Boys," said the leader, suddenly, *Tm Ikh8 o’ this yere association, haint I?” "You air," they answered. "An’ what I say goes?” . "Hit does jifit that!" “An’ hoes stcalin’ means hungii' don’t bit?” “Hit does!” “Wai, I senteflee the prisoner. Jack Harris, to be hung this day week. In the meantime, I place him in the keep­ in’ uv Shorty Myer, the leetlest man in the crowd, an’ if he let’s the prisoner escape. I’ll fine him two dollars and a half." Shorty Myers extracted two dollars and a half in sliver from his pocket and handed, the money to the leader. “Yere’s my fine,” he said. "An’the preacher keeps the reward?” Jack Hurri asked of tho leader. "An" the preacher keeps tho re­ ward," the other answered. "You bet!” chorused the rest of the vigilantes. "Wall, any how, I'll git my rent now, I reckon," said a mop-headed vigilant. "Sam Dyson," said the leader, stern­ ly. “git out an' mount yer filly, leas’n ye want to be fined, too.” "Hold on!" said Harris. "Is yer filly leetie, with a lump on her jaw?" “Good thing I didn't know hit the other night." “Why?” " 'Cause if I had you'd a-be’n out a filly; that’s all." Two weeks after, when tho ceremony was over that made the young preacher and the bright-faced Eastern girl man and wife, the bride looked fondly into her husband’s eyes as Bitowtid: “How much these people seem to think of you, and how generous they are toward you! Have they been so over since you camo out here?" “No, the change took place only a few weeks ago.” "And, who were those stern, rough­ looking men who shouted so when the ceremony was done?” “They are tho vigilantes." "Ab I entered tho State," tho young wife said, presently, “just such a rough­ looking man asked my name, and, when I told him. he said: ‘Tell tho parson ye saw Jack Harris, an’ tell him I hope he’ll be happy.’ Then he disappeared.” "Heroic Jack!” the young wife ex­ claimed, when the minister had told her the story. .

Tho Burmese are Buddhist*, and a Budd­ hist woman has no chance to go to Heaven, save by her soul at death passing into the body of a man. If she is wonderfully pious during this life such a transmigration many take place, and I note that the chief worshipers at tho pagodas hero are women. Budd­ hist teachers put womon much lower In the scale of morality than man, and they maintain that the sins of one woman are equal to the sins of 3,000 of tho worst men that ever lived. There are about 200,000,000 Buddhist women in tho ’.world and none of these have any other hope of immortality than thia Nevertheless, I am told that tho Burmese women are more honest than the men, and that their business promises are more to be trusted. They are not educated, as a rule, and it is only lately that there have been schools in Burmnh for wom­ en. The Baptist missionaries are do­ ing a great deal in thb direction, and I visited a female seminary^here which contained about one hundred girls. They were very bright-looking girls, too, and the president of the school told me that many of them could speak three languages and that they were fully as bright as the average Amer­ ican girl. During my stay an English spelling match was gotten up for my entertainment and a class of thirty girls wfire spelled down. They were all clad in the Burmese costumes and bare-footed, bare-headed, and with these tight dresses about their limbs they stood and spelled the words almost as readily as the teacher could utter them. They had a queer pro­ nunciation and accent, but they did remarkaly well, and two of the girls remained on the floor for a full half hour, going almost through the spell­ ing book in that time. As the girls missed they one by one went back td their scats, some laughing and some pouting. But the two who remained to the last tired out their teacher aud as she said “enough,” they walked off proudly kicking out their bare heels as they lifted them from the floor in this approved Burmese fashion, which serves to keep the dress closed in front] The Burmese woman has few of tho troubles and pleasures of a New En­ gland housewife. All of her cooking b done out of doors at this time of year, and her range never gets out of Order. She builds her fire on tho ground, and her cooking utensils con­ sist of two or three earthen pots. These and. a jar of water, with a co­ coanut ladle, make up the kitchen furniture, and our Burmese wife is not troubled with table spreading nor dish washing. She is never worried about her flour nor her baking powder. The Burmese use neither knives nor forks. Their staple food is rice, and a huge platter of this is cooked for tho family and placed upon tho floor. In addition there is a bowl of curry, a kind of soup, gravy-Hko mixture, which is seasoned with flsh and pepper, and which b very hot Tho family squat around tho rice dish, and each has his own little bowl for curry, and a larger ono for rice. Every one helps himself, putting his "fingers into the rice platter and taking as much as he can squeeze up in his hands. The food b conveyed from the bowl to the mouth with the hand, and at the close of tho meal every ono is expected to wash his own dishes. No drinking b done during the meal, and at tbe end each goes to the water jar and rinses out hb mouth. I have seen many families at meals, and in oo case have I seen chop sticks or knives'aud forks. The Burmese dinner is thus a perpetual picnic.—F. G. Carpenter, in Louisville Courier-Journal. JULY e. 1888. ZETLAND.

"1 forgot to put it on till after dinner.” " Yes, that’s always the way. You never think of nuthin’ when your nose is stuck in a book. If. I’d a know’d what I do now, Td never a sent you to school a day.” Lucy made no reply to this tirade; but her sensitive lips quivered and her eyes filled with tears which she strove in vain.to repress. Scenes like this were of daily occur­ rence in the Ross family; for the mother's natural irritability had been greatly increased by years of hard work and ill-health, and Lucy pro­ voked her beyond measure by the growing Itotlessness with which she went about her household duties. The truth is that Lucy had become en­ grossed. heart and soul, in the pur­ suit of knowledge—it being the fixed purpose of her life to rise above the station of a mere toiling machine. Mrs. Rosa, incapable of mental labor herself, was equally Incapable of form­ ing any conception of it. Drudgery was her ideal work. What wonder, then, that she mistook Lucy’s preoc­ cupation for indolence, and that she lost no opportunity in rating her soundly for it When the dishes had been washed and put away Lucy returned to where she had left her book, ,,, but to her sur, prta it w- rone. Sb. wm not do. tp conjecture what had happened. One of the children had hidden it to tease her. Hardly a day passed that she was not made the victim of one or more of their pranks. Tim, the oldest was four years her junior; and added to this difference in ago was a yet greater difference In disposition. Lucy had, consequently, retired more and more within herself, and had grad­ ually come to regard her brothers and sisters as so many necessary evils. They, on their part, looked on her quiet studious manners as indications of dullness and stupidity, and thought ft fine sport to anger her, or "wake her up," as they termed it On this occasion she was too much concerned for the fate of her missing book to feel angry. "Mother,” she called, as she 'Searched aimlessly about the room, "make the children give me back my physiology. They will get It soiled or torn, and then what will Kitty say?” Mrs. Ross usually sided with the children against Lucy — in their diffi--------- ----------------------culties, but the knowledge that the book in question was a gift frota Kitty Olwirt made her equally anxious for it* safe restoration. Accordingly, she summoned the children, and tried first persuade and then to frighten the guilty one into revealing Ito whereabout*.

When sho returned to the house her mother scolded her for not keeping her appointment with Kitty. "You know the children’11 give back yer book when they’ve bad their fun over it!” she snapped. "And you could a' told Kitty you mislaid It!" Before Lucy could reply, her little sister camo running In. calling ex­ citedly to her to como and look In tho rain-barrel. They’s book In there!" said the child. “Mebbe it’s your’n! I’d a' brung it to you. but I couldn’t reach it" Lucy hardly heard tho last words as she ran to the rain-barrel, closely followed by her mother and sister. And there, sure enough, was hor muchsought-for book, completely Immersed in woter. »"Jbt let me find out which one o’ tho young 'uns done that and I’ll lar­ rup it within an Inch of it* life!" stormed Mrs. Ross, as she surveyed the dripping volume in Lucy's hands. Tho unhappy girl said nothing, but repaired with it, weeping, to the kitchen, where she spent the next half hour in thoroughly drying it over the stove. But, alas! her beautiful, new physiology was Boiled and faded al­ most beyond recognition; the print be­ ing, in many places, blurred into illegibility. While the family were at supper there was a knock at the door, and Kitty Olwirt made her unexpected ap­ pearance. “Here you are, you little truant! Tve come to look after you!” she said, playfully, as Lucj; admitted her. Mrs. Rosa, anxious to explain mat­ ters ver* in iu her ucr own uwn way, interrupted intemipicu the uh tre„Wod on her dBU<htcr-, •11• j>k <' | , • "Lucy’s nigh about crazy.

You couldn’t • help it, and will have a new one tomorrow.” 1 "Oh, don’t get another one!” plead• ed Lucy. "I never can take it" , And then, completely overcome by ’ a sense of the wrong her mother had done and of It* injustice to herself, she ! abruptly left the room, sobbing con| vulsively.

"Kitty a gone home mad: an* it’s your fault far leavin’ her tbe way you did.” "I couldn’t help it, mother!” Lucy answered, sorrowfully. “I couldn’t stay and see her so deceived, and I couldn't tell on my own mother.” "You’d better never tell, either!” was the threatening rejoinder. "I didn't do no harm, anyhow. If I'd a-told her one o’ tho children sp’Ut yer book she’d a blamed mo fer not learnin’ *um better. But when I told her ■ you done it accidentally she thought nothin’ uv it, an’ I knowed she wouldn’t.” Lucy made no attempt to oombat this characteristic logic, realizing that it would be useless. And hor mother ended tho conversation by reminding her that the supper dishes were yet to wash. Tim was unusually kind to Lucy during the remainder of the evening. But she took little notice ot him, and retired with a very heavy heart Her elastic spirit* oould not long be depressed, however, and tho next morning sho was again her bright, happy self. It was in vain that she tried to reflect sadly over tho occur­ rences of tho previous day. Her mother had not meant to do wrong, she reasoned, and the children wore young and thoughtloss. She would go to Kitty aa soon as hor morning’s work was done, she told hersolf, and apolo­ gize for leaving her. When she came in from milking, shortly after breakfast, she found the household in great commotion. Tim had cut his foot to tho bone while out chopping wood. "I never seen any thing bleed like It does!” said Mrs. Ross, as tho blood trickled through tho thick bandage she had applied. "I wish pap was hyer to go fer the doctor. But he won't git back frum tendin’ that trial before to-morra, an’ he's got both the horses." *T11 go, mother,” Announced Lucy, promptly. "H’s only three miles. I can walk. But let mo see first if I can’t stop tho blood. I know a way.” "Well, be quick!” replied the anx­ ious mother. Lucy then assisted her In placing Tim on tho bed; and, while removing the blood-soaked bandage, her mother, under her directon, made a pad of doth. This pad Lucy pressed firmly on tho wound, securing It by means of a tight bandage. She then elevated tho foot upon pillows, and, without wait­ ing to learn the result, hurriedly started on her errand. "Lie still, just as you are, till I fetch the doctor!” was her parting injunc­ tion to Tim. And for once he willingly obeyed her, though he found the hours of waiting very long and tiresome. To Lucy they seemed llko so many ages, as sho sat anxious and expectant In the doctor's little office. He had been called some distance into the country, and it was after noon when he returned. He was the only physician the village afforded, so she had no alternative but to await his leisure. "We have not a minute to said, when he had heard count of tho case. “If your brother has cut an artery, as I fear bo has, I may be too late to render assistance." This statement so alarmed Lucy that sho quite forgot the attempt she had made to stop-the bleeding, and prepared for the worst. When they reached the house they were surprised to find Tim laughing heartily over a story which Kitty Olwirt had just told for his amuse­ ment “You have had a narrow escape, my morseful boy. "Hl git you another book with the money I made a pickin’ berries, and do without skeuto this winter.” •Tve brought her a new physiolo­ gy!” said Kilty, producing the book and handing it to Lucy.

John Dvvoy, who was Mclnerny's associate In the Irish Nation, believes Mclnerny was lured to bi* death by tbe telegram. AU agree that there is just as good ground for believing that Mclnerny was assassinated aa for tbe assert ion that Cronin was slain by tbe in­ ner circle of the Clan na-Gael, which bad doomed Cronin, Mclnerny, Devoy and Dr. McCabey, of Philadelphia, to death.

Sheriff Shnner was dqwn Tuesday with a warrant for Taylor Walker, oil a charge of selling liquor at Woodland on the 4th of July, the charge being preferred by B. 8. Holly, a prominent citizen and merchant of Woodland. The sheriff secured his man and took him before Justice Kenastun, of Hast­ ings, who set next Tuesday as the date of the examination. Walker gave bonds to appear and was immediately re-arrested for selling liquor without government license. He again gave bonds for appearance, and is now at home again.- SHORT BUT LIVELY. A horse belonging to Frank Griffin and hitched in front of his building on Mai n street, took it into his head to create a little excitement Tuesday and did M»>in his own way. He broke loose, ran around tho corner and started down the alley back of Powers A. Strin gham’s grocery. Arriving at tho cellar where the Boise block formerly stood he decided to rid himself of all incumbrance in the shape of vehicle; and dropping the same into the cellar, retur ned to Main street, where he was secund. A broken thill and a few other slight breaks was the extent of the damage done.

KNEW IT WAS LOADED. Several of Nashville’s enthusiastic and patrioticjuvemles enjoyed them­ selves hugely loading and firing an empty shell which bad formerly been used in a shotgun, until an interrup­ tion occurad in the shape of a prema­ ture explosion. The lads filled the shell with powder, wadded down with paper, arranged a fuse, touched it off and then placed an empty fruit can up­ side down over the whole concern. This was all right for a while but the fuse which was attached to the shell refused on one occasion to burn mod­ erately and the explosion occnred while one of the boys, Clyde White, was in the act of placing the fruit can over the miniature cannon. The can flew up and struck him, cutting an ugly gash in his face, while his face and eyes were filled with powder. It was at first believed that he would lose the sight of one of his eyes, but under tho treatment of Dr. Young be is rapidly improving and will retain the use of both eyes. A SKY SCRAPER. Prof. Charles Wolcott, whose fonnei home wm in Nashville, but who has recently made hi* home at' Chicago, made a grand and thrilling balloon ascension at Lake Odessa July 4th. Unlike other aeronauts, Prof. Wolcott both manages the ascension and rides the balloon, a very difficult feat, and one which requires not only nerve and ability but a thorough knowledge of hi* businesa. His balloon is sixty-eight feet in height, and fifty-four feet in diameter, being a considerable larger than the hot air balloon. Tho balloon rose with Mr. Wolcott to the distance of 3,000 feet, be appearing as a more speck of sparkling humanity. Mr. Chandler, a balloon photographer of Chicago, secured four good negative* of Mr. Wolcott while making the ascension. The ascension was a glo­ rious success and those who witnessed the same were well pleased. Mr. Wolcott has host* of friends in Nash­ ville who will rejoice that he has made such a glowing success in so perilous an occupation. ANOTHER RESIDENT GONE. For some time past there has been trouble in the domestic relations ot Mr. and Mrs. Horton, who have been living about three miles north of town. The husband, it is averred, is a quiet, sober and industrious man; too much so, in fact, to suit the extravagant and fas­ tidious tastes of the ruler of the estab­ lishment. He has at times absented himself from home for a period of sev­ eral weeks to enable himself to better appreciate the society of his wife, who ba* of late become famous, or infam­ ous rather, for her apparent weakness for diversity of company and friends, several Nashville gentlemen, we un­ derstand, sharing the blessings of her indiscriminate friendship. On Thurs­ day of this week Mr. Horton prevailed upon her to sign over to him her right, title and interest in the estate, and she left on the noon train for Grand Rap­ ids, stating that she was going there to work in a hotel. We are always pleased to note the movements of peo­ ple of interest, especially such people when they move out of the vicinity. TIME, 2.06. LOCAL 8PLMTEBB. Sherm Fowler and Will Conley ac­ companied by Misses Gertrude and Kittie Stebbbins, of Hastings, started on the morning of the fourth, witlrTtn elegant double rig from a Hastings livery stable, for Lake Odessa. When' about four miles from their destination the bolt which held one whip pie-tree in place came out and the whipple-tree dropped against the heel* of the horse. This, of course, startled him, and he leaped forward, tnrowing tfce neotyoke off from the end of the tongue, which dropped upon the ground and was broken. -The team then became unmanagable and rushed along the road at breakneck speed for a distance of forty rods, finally overturning the carriage on a bridge. Help immedi­ ately arrived and on examination re­ vealed the former occupants of the carriage strewn along the roal all more or leas seriously injured. Miss Ger­ trude Stebbins was probably the most severely hurt. She was taken to her home at Hastings and it was at first feared her injuries would result in brain fever, but she isnow.a greatdeal better. All are progressing rapidly to­ wards health, and will soon be none the worse for what came so near being a fatal accident. Lovely moonlight evenings. Gaze at Lee’s change of ad. on 8tb paac.

Considerable excitement and fun was caused on the streets of the village Tuesday at the expense of a couple drummers from the Marshall Field company, of Chicago. While showing some goods at Truman’s one of the drummers laid his hat on a trunk, and Ins associate placed it upon the sign over the awning, tying a string to it and running the string down to the sidewalk. The drummers then went inside and for an hoar or more were earnestly engaged selling goods. Meanwhile tho spirit of practical jok­ ing had been caught by several Nash­ ville sport* who had appropriated the hat and had it safely bid—we won’t say where. Having concluded his business at Truman'* the drummer be­ gan a search for his hat, in which be was joined by his comrades. After half an hour spent in fruitless endeavors to find the missing "dicer” they were quietly informed that the bat was up in front of Aylswortli A Lusk’s store. Strolling np that way, he dis­ covered a package nicely done up in wrapping paper and having the shape of a four dollar "Stetson.” ~ The drummer's heart beat high with hope and exultation at the thought of once more possessing his attrac­ tive derby. With trampling fingers he untied the string and was greeted by a shont of amusement from the on­ lookers, a large number of which had congregated, when his nerveless hand8 drew forth—not the neat and stylish hat he had been led to believe was there, but a hat which had done ser­ vice since the year 1, on the head of some painter, and was bedecked- 'with all the colors known to man. Our readers will be able to receive a better idea of the hat when informed that it was often spoken of a* the "Partello landmark,” having been worn by Mr. Partello ever since his advent into the village of Nashville. Mr. York, the drummer, eventually se­ cured his own hat and went on bis way rejoicing, bnt not until one of his friends had made the remark that "he had been in a larger place than ^this! and wasn’t to be fooled with.” * MICHIGAN CENTRAL EXCURSIONS. NUMBER 44 and a nephew of Janies Fleming, of Nashville, was in the village Thursday visiting his uncle, and soliciting bus­ iness in his line. Dr, J. W.

The Hastings base ball nine which was to play ball here last Tuesday failed to put in an appearance. They undoubtedly disliked going to certain defeat. T. D.

Elder Holler will discourse this com­ ing Sabbath at the Fisher school bouse. Text, "And the Word was Made Flesh." The privilege will be given to any one present to ask questions on the text. The large celebration at Charlotte undoubtedly took the crowd which be­ longed to Kalamo, a* the latter place was not a great deal crowded on the Fourth, although those who attended report a good time. Wm. Woodard held No. 284,thenumbhr which drew the upholstered anu chair at Aylswortli A Lusk’s. It will be remembered that he is the same gentleman who drew the stove at the same store last winter. Hastings seems to be in earnest in regard to the establishment of factor­ ies. The Powers wagon company, re­ cently organized, has commenced oper­ ations. A whip company has been organized, and now strenuous efforts are being made to induce a furniture factory to locate there. Probably a larger number of Nash­ ville people celebrated the Fourth at Thornapple than at any other one place, and all seemed to enjoy them­ selves hugely, picnicing, boating, danc­ ing, etc. A moat orderly company was present, and one was not continually greeted by the fumes of liquor and the rude remarks of drunken rowdies. For a nice, quiet place, Thornapple collars the product of the culinary de­ partment.

Miss Christie, for my presumption in thinking you would accept mine after bis. Good­ evening." He strode off toward the plantation path, and. he would not turn round when I called "Laurence, Laurence!” I could not stay to run after him, even if I had been able to overtake him; so, with tears in my eyes, I plunged into the flower bed where bis rose had fall­ en and picked it np, and put Mr. Ray­ ner’s gently on the ground instead. It was an ungrateful thing to do; but I must do what Laurence wished, even If he did not know it. And so with a very heavy heart I ran up the path to the carriage, and started on a visit which was to be strangely eventful to me. CHAPTER XVL There were four ladies already in the carriage which was waiting for me at the gate—Lady* Mills herself, with an­ other more matronly-looking Indy by her side, whose name, 1 already knew', was Mrs. Cunningham; and on the op­ posite seat were a younger lady with a rather sharp expression, named Mrs. Clowes, who was considered very clever, and an unmarried one some years older tii.in 1. 1 made tho third on that seat; but there was plenty of room for us all. We drove back first to the High Field, where there was a dog-cart waiting, with a gentleman in. it smoking; and standing by the horse’s bead, also with’ a cigar Tn Lis mouth, was the tall fair gentleman whose face 1 now seemed to know the best of all. As soon as wo drove up, be camo to the side of tbe carriage. "You are horribly crowded in there; let me take Mist—Xli.-s Christie in the dog-cart." “No, Tom; Miss Christie is better where she is.” I waS glad Lady Mills would not let me go, for I did not care much about the gentleman they called “Tom,” and Laurence did not like him either. The drive from Geldham to Denham Court was about seven miles and through a beautiful country. I wm shown to my room as soon as we arrived. I had no't much time to grieve over my quarrel with Laurence about the rose, but 1 did shed a few tears and thought I should not be able to enjoy myself at all at this pretty place without him. Then I put on my muslin frock and fastened tho black velvet around my throat with the glittering, flashing pendant upon it, and a little lower down pinned to the lace edging the red rose Laurence had given me. 1 looked so much nicer than I had thought possible that I wished Laurence could see me. I had left my room and was going along the corridor when I met a man who looked exactly like the mysterious visitor to the Alders, whom Mr. Ravner had described as “a gentleman/’ and whom 1 bad seen two nights before going into the stable with Sarah and Tom Parkes. But this man stood aside with the manner of a servant not of a gentleman. I hurried past him. quite shocked at the resemblance, for of course a friend of Mr. Rayner could not be a servant at Denham Court. I wandered into the conservatory and was admiring the rare collection of beautiful flowers when the gentle­ man called “Tom" came up to me and said: "Nicely kept place, isn’t it? Shall I cut you some flowers?” “By no means. I could not think of allow'ing these plants to be robbed for me.” “Now, that is your pride, Mias Christie, v preventa you from ac­ cepting f.. But I suppose one must not expect humility from a lady who wears such diamonds;" and he glanced again at my pendant, as he had done several times while we talked. “They are not real diamonds,” said L laughing. "They are only paste." He raised his eyebrows. “Then allow me to congratulate you, MLss Christie^ on possessing the very best imitation of the real thing that I have ever seen. I know some­ thing about diamonds and 1 never was deceived before.” « “Look! I will go to the door,” said I, fur the light was fading, "and then, as you are such a good judge, you will be able to tell." I walked to the door, and hd bent his face down close to mine and exam­ ined my pendant carefully, presently he gave a slight start. "Am I taking loo-great a liberty in asking if there are initials on the other side of that?” “Yes, there are,” said I, surprised. “And will you tell me what they arc?" I hesitated. If this gentleman should persist in thinking the ornament to be genuine diamonds, he would con­ sider it strange that Mr. Rayner should give such a present to his child’s gov­ erness; so I said, quietly: “I would rather not tell vou ’ “I beg your pardon. I have seen only one ornament exactly like this, but It was real diamonds.” •‘What was it worth?” said I. “About fifteen hundred pounds.” "And you thought I had on an orna­ ment worth fifteen hundred |»ound«P” said I, laughing heartily. "Oh. if the person who gave it me could know, how h« would laugh!” He caught at my words. "He would laugh, would he?” I was annoyed with myself, for I had not meant to let out even the sex of the giver of my pendant He con­ tinued: ____ ____ ______ _________ ' “__ He___would be r pleased, I should I think, to have his paste token for diaI moods." i 1 did not answer, bat only laughed again.

"Not Lord Dalston, with his different crazes? You speak tu if you were not sure.” "I am sure I don’t know him,” said I. "But I was trying to remember what 1 have beard about him, for 1 seem to know the name quite well.” In the most gravely ]>er!>istent man­ ner Mr. Camitbers went on probing my memory about Lord Dalston; but I could not even remember where I bad heard the name mentioned before. • When, at last, long past the hour when the household at the Alders re­ tired to rest, we dispersed to our rooms, I made a mistake in my cor­ ridor, and found myself in one which led to the servants’ wing; and I heard a man's voice that I knew saying per­ suasively: "Don’t be in such a burh! She won’t be up for half an hour yet, nor my man either. I never get a word with you now/’ Suddenly it flashed upon me whose the voice was. It was the voice I had heard talking to Sarah in tho planta­ tion, the voice of Mr. Rayner’s mys­ terious friend. And the person ho was talking to. and with whom ho proceed­ ed to exchange a kiss, was Lady Mills’ maid! It wm a strange thing, but one about which I could no longer have a doubt. The respectful man-servant I had met before dinner in the corridor and the visitor who wm shown into the study at the Alders as a gentleman, and who was yet unfamiliar terms with Tom Parkes and Sarah, were one and the same person!

Qi of eighteen and twenty-one, military duty may be forced upon them by the vote of exempts, and they have no voloe in the matter. But thia is not all. Wonot leas important than that performed "by the fighting men. Well do I remem­ ber that April day in 1861 when! a lad noi.yet eighteen, wrote my mother that I felt that duty called me to enlist for the defense of the country. Her reply came promptly. “The country needs you and you may go." Three times after that, before the struggle ended, my mother was called upon to surrender other sons, young­ er than myself, to the country. The younger celebrated his fifteenth birth­ day as a private soldier in the ranks oi that grand command then defending Nashville under the lead of General Geo. IL Thomas. The patriotism and self­ sacrifice of that mother wore greater than mine or that of any of her sons. She deprived herself of support, and sent her.sons into different armies and fields, so that she was never free from anxirfty for one or the other of us sup­ posed to be for tbe time in peril. The soldier* know how much they owed to their mothers, wives, sisters and sweet­ hearts. No, Mr. Chairman, you will not deny this petition, because a per­ son, himself exempt from military duty on two grounds at least, and who was of fighting age and did not fight in our last struggle for the life of the nation, objects that "woman must not vote be­ cause she can not fight” If there is no stronger argument than that to urge, the opposition had better stand 'aside and let this measure become a law. I would remind these clergymen that the women support their churches. The public duty assigned them in church work are not unlike those the ballot would Impose upon them, and when rightly understood are fully as disa­ greeable. "It does not necessarily follow that women shall perform jury duty because they are given municipal suffrage. But if they du I shall hove no fear that their verdict will bo more prejudiced than are those o f men. I believe you will find them far more inclined to re­ gard their oath, and their verdicts will be more in accordance with substantial justice than those you now toko from men.

In this least, to disregard tho small courtesies of life—the Intangible yet very per­ ceptible little thing* that make tho man a gentleman. Many persons con­ tend-that outward manner is a very secondary consideration if the head la well stocked with knowledge, aud that If a young man has tho faculty to get on in the world it is a matter of very little importance if bls manners do not model themselves after a Chesterfield. That this idea is prevalent is provt£f~ by the grefit number of well-educated men—men of ability and power—who, however, one would never accuse of being gentlemen—who, clever and with no lack of brains, are painfully deficient in good breeding. With no intentional lapses, they are awkward, bumptious, presuming, oven vulgar.' In most countries an educated man aud a gentleman are almost synony­ mous terms. On this side of tho At­ lantic they by no means always belong to the same man. Educational advan­ tages are within the reach of all classes of people—people who have the benefit of no home training for their manners, or any cultivated persons among their acquaintances. Oiie fact is true all the world over, that where, by some freak of nature, a man shows himself superior to his own class in intelligence and tal­ ents. ho bz never content to remain on the lower stave of the ladder. Many persons assert that the self­ made man is always the best In point of ability he proves without doubt that he has within him that which has determined his fitness for thc-place ho has earned for himself. -But because a man by his brains, en­ ergy and pluck carves out his own fortune, putting himself In a prom■ Inent position, is It not very desirable ' also that ho should also cultivate tho courtesies of life so that tho talent bo not hidden by roughness and uncult­ ured bearing? Because a man is a ! successful lawyer, it does not justify him to say that he can bo his own tailor, or that ill-fitting clothes, if be­ longing to him and of his own make, are as suitable as those of good cut So it is with tho intellectual giant who takes no hoed of his manners.

The jury delib­ erated long. The court was about to lock them up for the night, when they speedily agreed upon a verdict bring­ ing the prisoner in guilty and sending him to prison for two years. I do not believe that two women who believed a person Innocent would have yielded thus easily, finding him guilty of a State-prison offense. I am sure we should have more verdicts of guilty In cases where disagreementsand verdicts of not guilty are now rendered, if wo­ men were on the jury. Then one reverend gentleman is very much afraid that the ‘boss* in politics would have his power increased if women voted. I do not believe it I am sure it would be the reverse, and as this is a matter of speculation and opinion, perhaps mine is as good as his. Tbe men have generally made a pretty bad mess of the government of our citie*. I doubt if it is easy to make them worse than they have been. I feel certain, from what I saw on the last election-day, that to enfranchise the women will do more than any other one thing I know of to promote good government in our citlea" , _____ WOMEN IN’THE WORK. Lady Sandfivkst was elected to the London (Eng.} County Council at tho late election. Mrs. Gladstone in a let­ ter seconded her election. Lady Lansdowme is carrying out the movement begun by her predeces­ sor, Lady Dufferin, for providing the women of India with women physicians.

In the court* of Venice a curious custom boa been observed fof five hundred years. When the Council of Ten, a body of men acting as a jury, brings in a sentence of death, before the presiding judge puts on the black cap the venerable crier advances and cries three times in a loud voice; "Recordatevi del povera Marcolini.” Near the grand landing place of the ^gondolas are the columns of Saint Mark and Saint Theodore. Nearly all the people passing the grand landing place pass around the columns. Only for­ eigners and strangers pass between tho two slender pillars. It is the ancient place of execution, and there Mar­ colini met his death. Many years ago Marcolini, a young Venetian noble, paid court to the beautiful Giulietta, whose family occupied a palace on the same square. Ono night as the dial on the clock tower marked the eaaiy morning hour he was returning home from a visit to his inamorata, softly singing in the exuberance of his spirits, for he had been accepted, and tho par­ ents of his fiancee had given consent to their nuptials. Passing across a small campo ho picked up an embroidered belt, with an empty jewelert scabbard, and fastening tho girdle around him, he continued his course, still humming his tune. When he came to the steps of the Rialto he was seized by the guard and accused of murder. He was'taken to tho spot where Senator Rinaldi lay dead with a dagger in his heart It was found that the stiletto exactly fitted tho sheath which Mar­ colini carried. Ho was speedily tired, condemned and beheaded. Giulletta went mad and was confined on tho lit­ tle island devoted to-Che insane. Many years after a bandit on his death-bed confessed to a priest that he had been hired to murder tho Senator. The sentence against Marcolini was re­ versed and his confiscated estates wore restored to his family. But poor Giuletta's reason could not be restored by an edict of law. * When the judge who condemned Marcolini came to die he provided in his will that a mass should be sung every night forever in a chapel of the ducal church, St Mark's, for the soul of Marcolini and others who had suffered from unjust judgments. Such is the story of tho Twilight Mass and the words of the court crier: •■Re­ member poor Marcolini.” Every night the bell is rung and a ray of light is seen to issue from the little Gothic window that looks upon tbe ancient place of execution—a recognition of human fallibility.-—N.

It is top half white, lower half btae, and indicates that light or local rains, or showers will occur in different portions of the state. This Hag is used only in Michigan and is used to indicate local rains, on account of the frequency of them in this state, and is intended only as a warning that the conditions are favorable for local rains or "snows.

On Tuesday last Frank Bartier with­ drew his suit in the circuit court against E. M. Everts, of the Farmer’s and Merchant’s bank, for alienating the affections of Mrs. Barber. This case attracted considerable attention when it was first brought, but few people anticipated any trial of the case, the general Impression being that the suit was brought about through the machinations of outside parties. Mr. Barber admits that he brought the suit in a moment of anger brought about by things said to him by others. All of die friends of both parties will be glad to near of the amicable settlement of the difficulty. OUR SPEEDY FOREMAN. think be bad be would leave it with hup.

Mr.'.Harry Andrus, Hastings, local committee. The value of the*instruction received at these in­ stitutes is being very generally rec­ ognized by teachers and school officers. As a rule, it has been the experience of county examinersand other examin­ ing officers, that the most successful teachers pre those who have availed themselves of the normal instruction offered by these local institutes. The dally sessions of the institutes for this year will, as heretofore, be devoted ex­ clusively to topics of special interest to teachers, presented by persons of extended practical experience as teachers, and who have made a special study of institute work. The evening lectures will be of popular character. The institute law allows teachers, whose schools are in session at the time appointed for the County Insti­ tute, held under the direction of the state superintendent, to close their schools during the continuance of such institute without forfeiting their wages for as many half-days ns they are in attendance at the institute. This pro­ vision of law, and the fact that there will be no tuition or enrollment fee exacted, should insure the attendance of every teacher in the county who pos­ sesses the true frofessional spirit. Full particulars in regard to bdard, etc., may be obtained upon application to the local committee. "VTASHVILLE LODGE. No. 255, F. A A.

While at Woodland this week we called on the firm of Benson & Co. who we learn, have been complained of for illegitimate liquor selling. Wc find the sympathy of tbe best business men in the yillege with the firm, and look upon their prosecution as a matter of persona] revenge more than a matter to wright wrongs. The boys say that they are willing to be punished for anything of which they may be guilty, but to be persecuted and published to the world as carrying on on illegitimate business is unpleasant to the firm, a drawback to the village and to the welfare of the community at large. Benson A Barden are at Woodland to stay and challenge comparison with any other business men for their liberality in the con­ struction of railroads, in village im­ provements, and benevolent in­ stitutions generally. No person con or docs feel the stigma of which be is ac­ cused more than Dr. Benson, a gentle­ man opposed to intemperance in all its forms, and whose voice is always heard to denounce the improper use of ardent spirits. Wonder and amazement per­ vaded the minds of the members of tbe firm when they learned that complaint had been made against them for selling to a young man, who came to their store for thair very best brandy, for medicinal purposes, and then published to the world that he did not so receive it. Many things look pleasant to the world that are cutting and stinging to individuals.

Miss, as not to mention as you’ve seen me' before, I should take it kind." “Very well, Tom, I won’t betray you," 1 replied, laughing, and then I went into breakfast The bells of Denham Church had be­ gun to ring before breakfast was over, and Lady Mills wanted to know who "ifo t^' to make up a respectable number," said she. “We scandalize the neighborhood quite enough as it is by not going to bed at ten o'clock and other wicked practices. And last week we were only three at church out of a party of seventeen.” , “Are you going MissChristie? I’ll go if you w’U find all the places for me," said Mr. Carruthers. And when we got to church—we mustered, eight altogether—he sat by me, and picked out from among the books the biggest church-service ho could find, which he put in front of me when the collect was given out, whis- it for me, please." ' r‘ At first I would not take any notice, for it wu just like playing in church; but he began making such a disturb­ ance, rustling the leaves of his book, looking over those of his neighbors, and dropping with a crash all those within reach on the ledge before him, that I was obliged to find it for him, and all the other places too during the service, just as if he had been a little boy. But I was very angry all the time, and when we came out I would not speak to him. He came, however, and walked by my side, while I talked to somebody else, and at last he said, meekly:' “Have I offended you?" "Yes,” I rtid: “I think you arc very irreverent.” “I did not mean to be irreverent,” he said, in a still meeker tone. “ I don’t believe going to church does people like you any good at all,” re­ marked L gravely. And Mr. Carruthers burst out laugh­ ing. and said it was very wrong of me to discourage him just when he wanted to tn' to be good. Mott of the people spent Sunday afternoon just as if it bad not been Sunday at all, except that nobody rode or drove. But some went on the river, and some plaved lawn tennis, and some lounged about and read novels; and others, of whom I was one, sat un­ der tbe trees on the lawn and drank iced champagne, which is quite the nicest thing 1 ever tasted. I heard the mysterious man-servant give an order to Tom Parkes, calling him: “Here, Sou, gardner, what's your name?" as 1 he had never seen him before, and walked up and down Mr. Rayner's garden, and gone into Mr. Rayner's stable with him only two nights l>efore. What a silly fellow Tom was with his little mystery. I pointed out the other man to Mr. Carruthers, and asked if be knew whose servant he was. “He is mine, and the best I ever had. I've, hud him six months, now, and of late I’ve given up thinking altogether; he docs it for me so much better.” I began to wonder whether this mys­ terious man-servant was some poor re­ lation of ‘ Mr. Rayner's who had taken to this way ot earning bis living, but was ashamed of it. and who came pri vateJy to see his richer connections, to spare them the talk of the neighbors about what people like the Reades, for instance, would certainly consider a great disgrace. So I said nothing more about him to Mr. Carruthers,who wax sitting near me, smoking, and teasing me-to read a Sunday newspaper, which 1 did not think right After a time I left him and went to my room to sec how the pendant I had left in my desk would look at my throat with some flowers I had just"pinned there. But when I unlocked my desk and opened the shabby case in whicli Mr. Rayner had given it to me, the pen­ dant was gone. Nothing else in the desk had been disturbed. I made ‘a careful search without success. I was certain 1 had placed it in my desk be­ fore retiring. It had been stolen—by whom I could not guess. I was frightened by its mysterious disappearance. At first I thought I would tell Lady Mills of my loo, but my courage failed me.

So I went down-stairs to dinner with I a piece of plain "black velvet round my throat, told Mrs. Cunningham, who asked why I did not wear my pendant, that I had come to the eonclurion that it was too handsome an ornament for a girl in my position, and heard Mr. Carruthers «ay that the same remark would apply to my eyes.

Take the lines—so—and pull which ever one I tell you.” I disengaged my hands from the shawl I was shrouded in, and. over­ whelmed by a sense of by new respon­ sibility, did as T was told without a word. And, as there was not much steering required, I fell to thinking of Laurence. “You are not thinking of me,” said Mr. Carruthers, quietly. I started, blushed, and pulled tho wrong line at once. “Why is it,” ho asked, suddenly,, “that a woman never cares for the man who loves her best?” “Doesn’t she—ever?” I asked anx­ iously. “I—I am afraid not," said he, in a very low voice. "But how is she to tell?” I asked, tremulously. “I think she can tell best by the look in his eyes when they are bent on her," he whispered, with a long steady gaze which disconcerted me. I turned away my head. “If,” he went on, still in the same soft voice quite close to my ear, “she raises her lips to his and then tries to read in his eyes tbe emotion he feels for her—” • “But I did," said I quickly, turning to him with my heart beating fast at the remembrance of Laurence nrst kiss. Mr. Carruthers drew back, siroaed his mustache and looked at uie in quite a different manner. “You have not lived all your life in the country. Miss Christie, I think*” said he, dryly. And I saw in a moment, by the change in his look and voice, what I had done. He had been making love to me, while I was thinking of nothing but Laurence. 1 put out my hand to his very gently, and said: “"Don’t dc offended with me, Mr. Car­ ruthers. I dare sav all you say is true; but I am so fond of him I can not help thinking he does love me best” He took my hand and kissed it, and then said it was time we were getting back. It was just half-past one when we landed at the boat-house. Mr. Carruth­ ers proposed 1 should slip into the li­ brary and pretend 1 had fallen asleep while reading. “But why should I do all that?” said L “I haven’t done any thing to be ashamed of. You said Lady Mills would not mind." "No, of course not, my dear child; I'll tell Lady Mills all about it. Don't trouble your bead about that. She won’t say a word to you, and you need not say a word to her. But'none of the other ladies could have done a thing so unusual as you have in your Inno­ cence—and—and Sir Jonas would scold you for your rashness, and say you might have taken cold.” “But it wouldn't look innocent to Eretend I had never been out at all, Lr. Carruthers. And I wasn't alone; 1 was with you—so I was all right. I dare say Lady Mills has not gone to bed yet I’ll go and sec." And I ran away before he could pre­ vent me. and found Lady Mills looking anxious and grave. “My dear child, where have yon been? We thought you were lost!" Her voice trembled. “Oh, Lady Mills, I am so sorry! I went on the water withMr. Carruthers. He said you would not mind; but I ought to have known better orhen it wm go late." Lady Mills' face was lightering as she looked at me. “Don’t you know, my dear, that Mr. Carruthers is one of the most dongerous men—’’ Then she stopped, for Mr. Carruthers had oome into tbe room; ariff, turning from me to him, she said, in such a stern voice that it made me tremble: “Tom. aren’t vou just a little ashamed of yourself?" And he answered, very gravely: “Perhaps, but that doesn’t matter. This inquisition is out of ' place, Stephana, for it is easy to see that to that child night and day are all the same; and, if I had been my respected father in iniquity himself, she would have been none tho worse for my sodety. It was very sensible of you to come to Lady Mills, child,” said he to me kindly.

Tbe bill places on the county' supervisors the authority to call a special option elec­ tion after receiving a petition to that effect from one- fifth of the qualified voters of tbe county. If a special election results in fayor of prohibition the supervisors are given power to pre­ vent the sale of liquor in tbe county by the adoption of a resolution to tba t effect, but are under no compulsion to adopt such a resolution. The following is a synopsis of tbe important provisions of the new 4bh law: Tbe catching of trout, salmon and grayling is lawful only from May 1st to September 1st, and then only by hook and line.* Bass may, nt any tifne, but only by hook and line. You cannot law­ fully spear them at anytime. The use of explosive substances in catching any kind of fish ia unlawful. Spearing of fish, excepting mullet, grass pike, red aides and suckers. Is prohibited from March 1st to July 1st The nseofauy species of net, excepting dip net in catching mullet, etc., is unlawful at all times. A violation of any of tbe provisions of thia law is punishable by a fine ot not less ’han $5 or more than $100 and cost, or imprisonment 30 days if fine is not paid. The most important busiucM of the last hours of the legislature was a pass­ age by the bouse of tho senate election bill. It provides for the printing of election tickets by the state printing office. They are to be uniform in size and provided with such a vignette or picture at the top, not less than four inches long, as the party committee or chairman may design. The election room is to be divided by a railing, with gates for entrance and exit, and a gate -keeper, who is to admit but one elector at a time and each in his turn. The elector must pass through a booth supplied with all kinds of ticket^ and slips, and here, unobserved, he can se­ lect his ticket, and fix it to suit him­ self. Having voted, he must pass out and will not again 1h> admitted. Chal­ lengers of each party are allowed in tbe room where the election board sit and tbe board is empowered to preserve tbe place and commit offenders to jail, it not obedient to the commands of the peace officers. During the laat fiscal year the gov­ ernment received $388,591,(175, and spent $300,064,703, leaving a balance of of $88,596,883. This, together with about $34,000,000 of tbe surplus of the year before, has been used in purchas­ ing government bonds aud reducing the public debt. This is done by an­ ticipating the public debt as repre­ rented by the government bonds. Of the 4 per cents, $88,000,000. Of tbe 4| per cents, $82,000,000 were bought at a total cost of $89,306,044. Tlio iuterestbearing debt is now $804,477,502, of which $130,639,000 is in 4f per cents, due in 1801 and $676,096,350 is in 4 per cents, due in 1907. The treasury figures show that tbe national bank circulation has fallen off $40,051,275 during tbe fiscal year, standing now nt $211,215,361. The government bonds on deposit to secure this circulation amount to $193,121,450. This decrease iu the national bank circulation is due to tbe rapid purchase of the bonds by the government. ABOUT ADVERTISING. The man who is in any kind of busi­ ness whatever, who refuses th adver­ tise, is going to regret it sooner or - slater, but probably sooner. Not only • must the business man advertise, but he must keep on advertisihg if be ex­ pects to prosper. A single advertise­ . ment is not enough. Yon cannot eat enough to last a year, any you cannot advertise on that plan either. Adver­ tising nays, and pays well. The surest way to aid is—to advertise. When a certain man was asked how he was going to manage bis business during his vacation, his reply was: ‘I’ll just take my adveitiaement out of the paper and there will not be any business to manage.” A well known autboyty on advertising says: "The man who says he don’t believe in advertising, is doing just what he depreciates. He hangs coats outside of his door or puts dry goods in his windows—that’s advertis­ ing. He has painted cards lying on his counter—that’s advertising. He sends out drummers through tbe country, or puts his name on the wagon—that’s advertising. If be has lost a cow, he he puts a notice in the postoffice, or tells his sister-in-law—that’s adver­ tising. He has his name in gilt letters over—well what is that but advertising. He paints bis shop green or red; or, if he is a tailor be wears the latest style; if a doctor be has a boy call him out of ch arch in haste; if an auctioneer, be bellows to attract the attention of the passer-by; if a heavy merchant, he keeps a pile of boxes on the sidewalk in front of his doors—and all for adver­ tising. A man cannot do business saccesafully without advertising, and the question whether to call to his aid the moves the world—the i with its thousands of as it interests your subscribers and ) treats of a subject which at the preaent i time is agitating the minds of the com। munity in general.

Tho woman who has always been sur­ rounded with plenty, whose every need and nearly every want has always been supplied by means aside from her own efforts, and who has never had occasion to sorrow over the modern downfall through legalized methods of some one in whom she has a deep personal inter­ est. is not very likely to desire the bal­ lot—partly because of early teaching and the influence of her surroundings^ but chiefly through pure indifference. Yet she baa no more right to lend h«r voice and her influence and the use of • her name to hinder any other woman from securing tho elective franchise, who has felt tho need ol it and who docs desire it, simply because she does not herself appreciate its value, than an­ other person would have, had he the power, to deny her a coveted privilege to which she is justly entitled, because he never happened to wish for a simi­ lar pleasure himself. —Seattle Leader.

A strange tale of a gold plate with inscriptions falling from Heaven, printed in Tamil and Tolegu, is in cir­ culation in India. This mysterious tale is as follows: A plate which was made of the most beautiful gold, with the following inscription, accidentally fell down from Heaven, on the Temple of Cast Viswnnnth, at Benares: "From the month of "November, 1888, God Himself will rule a* Emperor of Hindustan, incarnating Himself in hu­ man form. From this time there will be justice all over the world, and tho Munis—that is, sage*—will lie in a very prosperous condition, and will be worshiped by the people. On the 6th.of March, 1889, at Aswani Nakshet, the sun will rise on the 45’ in Mena Lunga. The day will increase and the night will decrease till the day be­ comes fourteen hours and tho night ton hours. All the diseases of men will be cured, and the age of inan, which is at present established as 10U yeas, will in future be 125 yuars.”— Hindoo Patriot. POFNTS OF PROGRESS. •Thebe are 4,000 women In Govern­ ment employ at Washington. WOMEN aro rapidly getting In the real-estate business of tho northwest, and some of them have already realiz­ ed handbomoly upon lucky invest­ ments. Miss S. M. Wells, ot Fisk Univer­ sity, went South from Michigan twen­ ty-three year* ago, and has been ever since engaged in missionary aud edu­ cational work. In New York women, married ones among them, are becoming real estate agents, druggist*, clerks, doctors, law­ yers and barbers, us well as- type writers, florist*, milliners and actresses. The patent-ofilce is a great tempta­ tion to womankind, and in the United States they have patented nearly 3,000 inventions. A Southern colored woman is said to have invented an ingenious device for coupling cars. The printer girls of Topeka, Kan., have organized "The Leslie Club/' named after Mrs. Frank Leslie. They will soon issue the first number of tho Printer Girl, which will be tho organ of tho printer girls ol tho United State*. Mils. Lillian M. Paw, of London, England, is a commercial traveler now visiting tho Western Stales In the in­ terest of an English house. She travois alone and finds that in this country a woman does not need an escort to pro­ tect her from annoyance. The Indies' Library and Educational Association of Topeka have commenced writing tho history of Kansas women, and one year from date expect to have it completed. Taking the counties alphabetically, they design making a thorough and conclso biography of the women of tbe Slate. The late Emperor of Germany dis­ liked to near any body speak slightingly Of women. When he wa* crown prince an officer once remarked to him of a wounded comrade that he was "weep­ ing like a woman." "Never make that comparison,” said the prince, with a frown. "Crying like a child would be better. Women have more fortitude than men." THE wortien are, write* a Paris corre­ spondent, coming to the front more than ever in France. They not only set the fashions and are miracles of "make-up,” but are pushing their way everywhere among the men. We have lady doctors, lady stockbrokers, lady reporters, end recently a lady defended her father In a law court with acumen worthy of an ancient forensic hand. 'Women lawyers aro becoming a pow­ er in the land. Michigan University has already sent out twenty-four young women holding the degree of LL.B. This year a young woman from tho Sandwich Islands, Miss Alma Hitch­ cock, will make the twenty-fifth. In England there is a club of women law­ yers It is mainly a correspondence Club, yearly letters from the members being printed and circulated. Mrs. Belva Lockwood, and Miss Waugh, from tho Law School in Chicago, are among the members Tho motto of the club is: "All the Al.les of Each.” Mk& Maria E. Beasley, of Phila­ delphia, has made a fortune from th* most remarkable invention which the mind of a woman ever conceived. In 1884 Mrs. Beasely took out a patent fox a machine for the construction of bar­ rels Up to that time the barrels had been made almost altogether by hand. The machine is worked by three men, and turns out more than six hundred completed barrels a day. Mrs. Beasley was born in North Carolina of wealthy parent*. She possesses wonderful mechanical genius- Her first invention was a machine for hooping barrels. It will hoop 1,700 barrel* a day. and it used by the Standard Oil Company.

In a distant corner two tough-looking fellows, one an Irishman and the other a Mexican, were busily engaged in a card game. Several spectators were watching them, all mon—more or less repulsive look­ ing—with one exception. This excep­ tion was a pretty girl scarcely more than a child—certainly not more than pretty—ehe was evidently destined to levelop into a moat magnificently beautiful woman. Sue possessed bright, intelligent eyes, an almost transparent complexion and a shapely form, the perfection of which was her a crowd of rough men FLASH AMD A BKPOKT. tendon is to work a claim up the gulch, 5r Ton ““*’” ll find me square, ’but “** death *on “ Tbe girl Deb crossed to where Blod­ gett was standing, and. without the slightest affectation, placed her plump little hand within the broad palm of the miner. She was used to rough scenes, and even sudden death, so she merely said, very quietly, but very gratefully: . “Thank you. stranger.” It was a strange introduction for Rufus Blodgett to the community ot Nineveh. Aria, but within a few weeks he had settled down to steady work, and soon became the most popular man In the gulch. As for Deb, she well-nigh worshipped Blodgett whom she regarded as her savior from a terrible fate; and while she looked upon him as her natural protector, she felt bound to render him all tbe loyal service that she could. ^To, gentle reader; such scenes are not very pleasant, nor, in themselves, very edifying to dwell upon. But, be­ cause hackneyed and because vulgar, they are none the less real; and, being real, we may reserve our judgment of men and women whose passions are not curbed by years of training in civilization’s rigid school Wc need not criticise harshly and hastily from our own more advantageous stand­ points, remembering that it is far bet­ ter and decidedly wiser to “Judge not, that ye be not judged.” Doubtless Rufus Blodgett knew little or nothing of Him who said: “Vengeance is mine.” Three thousand miles from Ninevah, in a quiet Massachusetts village, a per­ plexed young mon was daily sinking deeper and deeper into the mire of vexed theological questions. This same young student, Calvin Bruce, possessed all the advantages of moderate wealth and a liberal educa­ tion. He had'graduated with honors from Yale and then, following tbe wishes of his dead father ns well as his own inclination, he hod entered a theological seminary with the inten­ tion of ultimately becoming a minis­ ter. But young Bruce wns not the man to take every thing for granted which he found printed in the text-books and commentaries, and he was too thor­ oughly conscientious to enter tho min­ istry upon a false basis. So he plunged into all the dissertations, analysis and arguments upon all tho-ologie* andi*m* which he could procure, and his reading ranged from Jonathan Edwards to Robert G. IngersolL But with Calvin Bruce, as with many another honest searcher for the truth, the more he groped and waded ths more thickly did'tho darkness seem to gather about him. And at last* when his heart grew sick and his brain ached with perplexity, he resolved to call a halt and to seek, by travel in the great and boundless West, new vigor of body and of mind. He did not follow the beaten paths of cheap-round-trip tourists, but wander­ ed off into the almost trackless prairies and the wildest districts of the Rocky mountains. Partly his fancy and part­ ly the circumstances of travel led him Into Arizona, though how be finally brought up in Nineveh matters little. At all events, the Calvin Bruce who entered the little mining town on the box scat of the lumbering Prescott stage was a far different man to the pale young student who had left his Massachusetts home just two months before. The bracing atmosphere of the open Western country and the wildly-gongeous scenery which surrounded him day after day, acted like a tonic upon both body and mind. Once again he was filled with the enthusiastic ambition be had known ns a lad. and the hair-splUtering questions which had worried him for years seemed to be buried In a distant past Life ut the mining village was very novel to Calvin Bruce, fresh from tho conventional surroundings of the East As day followed day be still stayed on among the strange medley of hu­ man beings who delved for silver, gam­ bled. drank vile whisky and quarreled. The longer he stayed the more his in­ terest was awakened. “Here," thought Bruoe, “is a grand opportunity to do good work.” And right cheerfully and gladly he buckled down to his self-appointed task of at­ tempting to better tlio moral and spir­ itual condition of those uncouth min­ ers. It was up-hill work at first, but Calvin Bruce was hardly the man to mind that- At first the boys jeered •the parson” when ho talked to them, and “guyed” him u good deal when ho attempted to preach to them in the general rendezvous of the hotel. But, by and by. they gave him “a show,” and as the weeks passed along tho young student settled down to serious and earnest work. Before very long Calvin Bruoe was well beloved in Nine­ vah, both for himself and for his works sake. So well did most of the boys es­ teem “the parson,” as they called him. that scarce one but would have risked his life, had the need arisen, in behalf of their new friend. And yet there was one man. at least, who constantly wished that Calvin Bruce bad never come to the gulch: that man was Rufus BlodgetL The reason for Blodgett's hard feel­ diligently, early and lata*, and by dint wealth to warrant him in taking up his abode in some place where the benefits of civilized life oould be enjoyed to better advantage than al Nineveh. Not that Blodgett himself hankered after ease aud luxury to any extent. No, there was another consideration which impelod Rufus Blodgett to the course which he had mapped out in his own. mind. That consideration was the girl. Deb, whom he had shielded from insult on his first night in the camp. For Rufus loved pah, and none the less truly, in that, so fan his love had remained unexpressed.' Not once had he breathed a word of his love for the girl, tor there was very little of sentiment about BlodgetL If he had good luck and could manage to “salt down" a few thousands, he figured on asking Deb to be his wife, when he would remove her with, him­ self from her wild and uncongenial surroundings. If, on the other hand. fortune*failed to favor him, he would “saw wood’’—and no great harm would be done. Deb, untutored Western waif as she was, read her big friend "like a book," and knew full well that be loved her. But Deb certainly did not reciprocate Blodgett’s tender feelings. Of course, in a community where there was so much that was bad. and so few manly men, pho could not well help perceiving that Rufus Blodgett tow­ ered head and shoulders above his fellows in* tbe gulch, though he wns a moral giant, as be was a physical giant, only by comparison with his immediate surroundings. He had his failing* aud defects, naturally enough, and would perhaps have proven woofhlly deficient in an examination for Admission to church membership; but. as far as ho knew how. he was honest and conscientious, and an utter stranger to cowardice. So, fully con­ scious of These facta. Deb gave Rufus Blodgett the first place in her heart— until Calvin Bruce made his appear­ ance at Nineveh. And when that event occurred, all the world changed for Deb, and Rufus Blodgett receded into a very ordinary individual as compared with the bandsome, eloquent and fascinating young parson from the East Young Bruce became deeply inter­ ested in Deb, with her quaint, yet piquant Western freshness. He opened up to her mind such possibilities of u useful, womanly life os the girl had never so much as dreamed about, and he gladly lent her books and instructed her in loro with which most children' aro familiar, but which was all strange to neglected Deb. It was not the rqsult of a moment, or a day. or a week, but gradually Calvin Bruce was captivated by his pupil He loved her, and de-! clared his passion, which Deb returned j with all the intensity of her warm Western nature. And thus it came to pass that Rufu* Blodgett tnought harshly of the parson, and became morose and sullen; for, ac­ cording to the miners' code, it was not quite the honorable thing for a preach­ er, of all men, to come between a fellow and his “best girl." Calvin Bruce remained at Nineveh all through the winter. In the spring of the year, when the snow had wellnigh disappeared from the mountains, the parson saddled his horse and start­ ed upon a short excursion. He pur­ posed to be gone aU night, intending to return upon tho following day. On the second day of the parson’s absence Rufus Blodgett left bis work about four in tho afternoon, and was seen to start up the canyon afoot. It was rather strange that, for some dis­ tance out of the camp. Blodgett should take the unfrequented aoulh side of the creek—the beaten track being on the north side. Howeter, it was possible for him to cross the creek to the road­ way at several points, the stream being but a shallow one. Rufus Blodgett had walked a consid­ erable way along the canyon, when he heard a soft* musical voice very famil­ iar to his ear. The owner of tho voice was behind a lodge of rock, quite out of sight, but he knew well that it was Deb—and she was praying-! These were the curious words which fell upon Blodgett's ear: “Lord, I have tried to love Rufus Blodgett, because 1 owe him so much; perhaps I ought to love him, but Ican not, I can not. Lord, bless me and bless him, who is more than life itself to me; and, dear Lord, comfort and help poor Rufus, for whom we are both sorry." They were simple words—childish words—but the man who overheard them stayed to hear no more. Ho passed on quickly, for he would not have disturbed Deb at that moment for all the visible and hidden wealth of Arizona. He pursued his way and crossed the creek to the roadway, but Deb's quaint yet thoughtful and heartfelt prayer rang incessantly in his ears. He walked about a mile and then sat down • near the mouth of an old disused mine­ shaft, over which a derrick with a long rope still hung. Not a soul wn with­ in more than a mile of whore he sat and waited for Calvin Bruce, who shortly rode up. “Ah.

' • Bruoe was greatly grieved at what Blodgett told him, but cheerfully prof­ fered his hand to the miner. As the two men stood in that wild, forsaken spot with clasped hands, a deep noise not unlike thunder was heard. The rumbling sound increased in volume and apparently came nearer. ••Water!’’ exclaimed BlodgetL and added: “Tbe creek is rising with the spring thaw and the rains. I know it well—this is my third year in the gulch. In a few minutes the creek may be twentyJoot deep and rushing like a cataract!” The two men were on the road, out of all danger. But suddenly Blodgett recollected Deb, and it struck him that possibly she bad not yet left her rocky hiding-place on the south side of the Re______ For Strain*'and Sprains. Evidence, Fresh.

Climb up!" ’ Bruce mounted and Blodgett clam­ bered after, dragging with him the rope which had been dangling from the old derrick. The sturdy horse sped like the wind over the mile of horrible road, but the water was too fast, and before they reached the point opposite to where Blodgett had left Deb, there was"a deep stream fifty feet wide—a stream which was rising at the rate of a fool or more every few seconds. The shades of evening were already falling, and they could not see across tbe can­ yon. “Deb!" shouted BlodgetL in a ’oud voice. For answer there came a pecul­ iar halloo, which Deb had learned when a little girl. “Parson ” said Rufus, 'this flood is only just commencing. If Deb stays over there she will probably never see * .

When, however, >e election of the French Chamber of Deputies in October, 1877, resulted in a defeat of the Government—316 Republi­ cans being returned against 199 official candidates—a new order of thing* gradu­ ally *et in. . The first national fete under th* Repub­ lic took place on Jun* 31), 1878, as a com­ memorative date had not yet been fixed upon. Never did a public rejoicing better deserve the epithet national. Tho unanim­ ity with which the citizens—without the distinction of class, fortune, or opinion —decorated their houses proved that patriotism took precedence of politics. From tho bumble flag at oue son to tbe sumptuous standard with a fringe of gold, from the modest paper lantern to the dazzling gas jet, every sort of decqrative device and luminous apparatus charmed the eyes of those who witnessed the meaner tbe *treet* and the more distant the quarters the richer was the display. A*, however, some historical date had to be fixed upon the Republican* finally selected tho 14th of July, and on July 14 of the same year, tbe centenary of Jean Jacques Rousseau and the anniversarv of the fall of the Bastile. were celebrated iu Pari*. Of course the fall of tbe Bastile did not found a republic in France. It only proclaimed that the French people were tired of the old regime, and had dis­ covered their strength. It wa*. however, the first ring with which the link* of a long chain have been formed. There were pre­ cedents. too, for its adoption. It was on that day that the first "Fourteenth of July" anniversary was celebrated in the Chrmp-de-Mar*. where tbe Exposition now hold* it* assize*, that tbe fete of the Federation was held in and that all classes, high and low, labored with pick and spade to erect the "Altar of Country." The French, therefore, rightly regard the attack on the Bastile an the turning point in their history, and the birthday ot the.Republic. For twelve year* past the day ha* been kept in a manner worthy of the event which it commemorate*. The one hundredth anniversary of th* fall of the Bastile was celebrated by the public mooting* and fetes in Paris and throughout the province* say* a cable dis­ patch from the French capital. Trans­ parence* bearing representation* of Gen­ eral Boulanger were displayed in the win­ dow* of the League of Patriots and at other Boulangist resorts. These devices called forth a few hooting* from passeisby, but with the exception of tbedisorders in the Place de La Concorde and at the office of la Prt.tmc the day passed off without disturbances of any kind.

The Mayor said that, although be had not been able to understand the preceding speaker's rematka. he wa* surd he con­ curred in what he had said, because be sympathized with the people of France. He said he could not help but be touched by tbe mingling of the stars and stripes and the tricolor in the decorations, when his mind reverted to the time of tho rev­ olution, when France came so nobly to the aid of ths American colonies. * The French citizens of New York and vicinity celebrated the 100th anniversary of the fall of tho Baatile with a grand re­ ception and concert at Washington Park. The large hall of the park had been spe­ cially decorated with a profusion of tri­ colored flags and banners. The exercises opened with an official reception to Con­ sul General Bruwaert.in which M. Henry Maillard, President of the French Cen­ tennial Committee, made tbe address of welcome. Letters of regret were read from President Carnot. Ferdinand de Lessenor. Fr. Coudert, Mayor Grant, Governor Hill, Grover Cleveland, President Harrison, and Vice President Morton.

THREE PRISONERS BURNED UP. Jackuonvllte. Oregon. Mon th ■ of 1880. The Railtran Age reports from thirty-one States and Territories for tho past six months show that the aggregate of new railway construction Is 1.5S2 miles, distrib­ uted over 123 different lines. Ot this smouut more than half Is credited to ten Southern States. An Immense amount of new railway mileage has been planned and only awaits a more favorable opportunity for raising tho necessary money. Much more would ba built this year than Is now possible but for the nlsrm which was raised in financial circles lest railway building should bo over­ done. and which caused a reaction that is now delaying the completion of many meritorious and needed enterprises. The estimate of now construction for the year Is put at 3,500 to 5.000 miles, as against a total of 7.100 miles in 1888. Nearly alFof the construction of this season la in tho form of extensions of old lines, which or» being added ss tho demands of business call for them. DEATH OF EX-CONGRESSMAN RICE.

The largest crowd which ever con­ gregated at the driving park in this village to witness a plain every day game o’f ball, gathered there Tneaday to witness the game between the HastingWand Nashville nines. The game was called by Umpire John Whooton at about 3 o’clock, and at about one min­ ute after three a nice little summer shower commenced which lasted until the last half of the third inning when the sun came out and beautiful weather prevailed throughout the remainder of the game. The Hastings nine went to bat and knocked out one run; Nash­ ville managing to rdn in two scores. Daring the second and third innings the rain increased, seeming to bring bad luck to the Nashville nine, at the end of the third inning the score stand­ ing 7 to 3, in favor of Hastings. Then the rain let up and Nashville managed to get 0 in the fourth, 5 in the fifth, 10 in the sixth and G in the eighth, while Hastings made 5 in the fourth, 2 in the fifth, and then received four goose eggs. At'the end cf the fourth inning a wrangle occurred m which the cries for a new umpire were most noticeable, and after about twenty minutes spent in arguments and gesticulations, it was finally decided by both clubs to put in W. E. Holt, of the Vermontville Echo, to umpire. Mr. Whooton having de­ clined to continue acting in that capac­ ity. While we believe Mr. Whooton decided to the best of his knowledge and belief, it must be said that a great many of his decisions were very far from correct. Some excuse can be made for him as he is a cripple and u nable to run out into the diamond to watch close plays. At the beginning of the fifth inning the good battery work of Hough and Weber asserted it­ self, and during the sixth and seventh innings not a Hastings man reached first base, and in the ninth none reached second; Jewell attempted to steal it, bat was caught in the act and sentenced to go and sit back of the backstop with Frank Heath, and there they sat and wondered why, and if not, why not The following is the score by innings: • Hastings........... 1 3 3 4 2 6 0 0 0-14 Nashville 2 0 0 C 5 10 0 6 •—29 Owing to the slippery condition of the ground it woaalmoat impossible to field a ball, which accounts, in part, for the score running up so high.

The impression of lom s desperate wickedness which Sarah's first talk with the stranm.*r had made upon my mini} had faded away, but his stealthy manner in visiting the house nt that time of night aroused my suspicions anew. What it Sarah, in her muster’s absence, hail been per-. Bunded to take care of stolen property? They disappeared up the stable path , and I took the opportunity to ring the door bell. Jane came down, vensleepy, and admitted me. I told Jane to go to bed, and hearing no noise in the kitchen took my candle and slipped down there. The side door waa ajar, and just inside was a small brown port­ manteau. I did not dare to inspect it closely, but it seemed to mu I had seen it somewhere before. Then I turned and fled guiltily to my room. Haidee was sleeping quietly and looked less feverish than wnen U went away. The fire was burning cheerfully, and the moment I laid my head on the pillow 1 fell asleep and did not awake until morning. Haidee was already awake, and un­ doubtedly better. "How did you sleep, darling?*’ said 1. sitting on the bed aira kissing her. “Oh, beautifully. Miss Christie. I hardly ever woke up ontfc, and when I did I watched the beautiful fire, it is so nice and warm up here; I should like to be here always. I think I should have nice dreams up here, not like the ones I have down-staira." "You shall stay here until you are quite well, my darling,” said* I, re­ solved to ask that she might sleep in my room permanentlv. “Miss Christie, I dreamed a dream last night with my eyes open, just like as if I were awoke,’’ said she, after a pause. "That was because you were ill," darling. When people are ill they dream like that.” "Do they—quite plain, like as if It was all quite real?” “Yes, sometimes they think they see people and talk to people." ' “That was like my dream. I dreamed it was while I was walking at the tire that the door there opened quite gent­ ly and softly, just a* if it moved otiito of itself, and then I saw papa's face, and he had in his hand something red and sparkling; and, just when the door came quite wide open, I thought I sat up in bed. and he looked at m<!.

Papa didn’t really come, did he?” “Oh. no, darling! Papa is away in London. See, tho door is locked. I was beginning since tho night be­ fore to be very sorry for Mrs. Rayuer. Tho deep affection and real feeling she manifested for her child led me to won­ der if through Haidee 1 might not have tho powbr to draw nearer to her and through sympathy with her corao to understand her better. And what if I might be able to win myaway to her heart and persuade her to leave Geldham for a lime, meeting Mr. Kayueron his return with the news that his wife, at last, was ready to break through her apathy J and come back to tho world again. The thought mado my heart beat faster aqd I longed to begin my delicate work at once. But I was disappointed. I bad all my meals by myself that day, except' tea, which I had up-stairs with Haidee, for Sarah said Mrs. Rayner was too unwell to leave her room. When wo had finished tea, I still sat up-stairs by my pupil’s bedside, and my.high spirits at tho thought of Laurence's exjiected visit infected her, and sho laughed Mid chattered to me in a fashion very un­ usual with her. Afc last I heard the front-door bell ring, and my heart seemed to stand still with joyful antici­ pation. But no one came np-stnirs to fetch me, and after a few minutes' breathless waiting, I ran down-stairs, unable to bear tho suspense any long­ er. I met Surah in the hall. “Who was that, Sarah?” asked I, too much excited to think of a decent subterfuge. “ Only one of Gregson’s boys asking for Mr. Rayner, miss.” Strange that Gregson’s boy should come to the front door, I thought. 1 coaid not go up-stain again. It was half-past six; and at half-past seven I was to be at my “nest,” if Laurence had not come before. I thought that hour would never end. It seemed to me to be getting very dark, too. When the hand* of the school-room clock pointed to twenty minutes past, I put on my shawl, and had opened the win­ dow to go out, when Sarah came in.

Then ho re­ placed tho jug. ‘That’s a fair all-round whisky— doesn't grow in those parte?” suggested Mr. Hudson, as ho smacked his lips after a long draught, that brought the oolor into his face. Neither father nor daughter observed him bury his face* in his handkerchief for a moment, nor that ho slipped the contents of his cup into it. with a toss of his hand. When bed-time camo the old man proffered his guest the hospitality of the loft, and his horse was staked on the mountain side, with Fan outside, as guardian.

Nato Hudson asked of tho mountain girl, his hostesa “I kin purtoct myself, as I tolo you afore," answered Lou. proudly, and with significance. Thon this audacious stranger commenced a siege of tho most romantic and desperate love-making that any gallant over indulged in. Ho told this freckled-face, angular girl, who had never had a lover in her life, that ho had been drawn to her by some blind Instinct, that he could not define, but which ho now know to bo love. HtJ praised hor eyes, her hair, her lips, and swore he would stay there until she smiled on his suit. Ho promised to do a thousand mad things to prove his loyalty. When bewildered and charmed like tho bird charmed by tho serpent, Lou Insisted that ho climb that unromantle ladder before hor father's re­ turn; ho caught her hand and pressed it to his lips. * “Good night, darling,’’ ho whispered, "I know that you must love mo, and I will wait until then.’’ Tbo first sight that greeted the eyes of this hasty lover on tho next morn­ ing, as ho peered out of tho small open­ ing between tho logs which* answered for a window was Ix>u carrying two groat cylinders, filled with milk. , “So there is a dairy.” ho muttered, “I must look into this.'' Poor Lou had not slept at all. Sho was in a dazed condition, and had spent the most of tho night in caressing the hand this rash lover had kissed. It was tho first sign and seal of lovo sho had ever experienced. The young man rodo away after breakfast, but at night he returned as ho had promised, bring­ ing with him a plain gold ring. "It is tho bosUthat I can find hero he said, “but when I return to my Northern home I will find something better for my mountain daisy. ’’ Poor Lou! hor heart—hor loving wo­ man’s heart, was beating rapturously, and nothing now seemed too wonderful to happen to hor. Sho took a sudden distaste to dishwashing and cooking. ^11 hor life was aglow with roseate huea It was as if. a sun-god had tumbled down from his bright lair In the skies and offered to marry hor. “How do you live here, my darling?" asked the lover, on the second day of their mad betrothal "Does tho milk ‘ ’from tho dairy bring in enough for comfort? Take mo with you to the dairy—lot mo help you, Lou." “They ain’t no better nor root houses, an’—an’ there’s only two cows," Lou answered, with a fooling of shamo; bet yer kin come if yer want’s ter." Sho led the way through a ravine quite a distance frota the house. "Why do you keep tho cows such a long way off?’ he asked, curiously. •There’s a spring-house there," she said, in a low voice. "Oh, what’s tho use"—as sho looked in her lover's face Mth a frank, confiding smile, "we ain't a-goin’ to begin with secrets—the fact is, wo’re afeared of tho revenooe." "Now. who are tho "rovonoos?”’ askod tho young man. with a bright smile. “Tho officers lookin’ for stills." "I see; and the cows are a blind. Oh, you cunning puss!

She was afraid of her father and somehow she did not believe she ought to take even her lover In upon him unbidden. But while she hesitated Nate’s arm drew around her waist, and she felt herself compelled to lead on. But where? There was the miserable stable and the cows in the yard; there could be nothing here." Lou stooped and brushed tho malted straw aside and Nate Hudson saw an iron ring in the floor. He stooped and tried to lift tbe trap-door to which if was attached, but he could pot move i> "Wuz it him?" asked the girl, turn­ ing to the foremost man. tho sheriff ot tho county, "wuz It Nato Hudson as brung ye here?

At that moment Lou was aware that the sheriff had gripped his rifle, and brought it to bear on her father, Quick as thought tho report of two rifles rang out When thq smoke cleared away Lon lay in her father’s arms. “I wuz fooled” she gasped "cruelly sartinly fooled.

CayiO The toa-drinklng millions in the United States must hare been impressed by the recent report of our Consul at Amoy, China, upon the quality of some of the tea shipped to tho American market. He told of the extent to which it is adulterated, and of the means employed to palm it off upon American consumers. The question is of importance to all men and women who quaff the Chinese beverage, for the stuff of which our Consul speaks Is undoubtedly detrimental to health. Borno years ago we learned from an English paj>er that ten million pounds of adulterated tea held in bond in Lon­ don had beep condemned as unfit for consumption, and not long afterward it was ascertained that large quantities of it had actually been sent to the New York market, though the British in­ spectors had declared that it was doc­ tored in an evil way. Now, this is not a thing of slight account If the teas outlawed in London dr# to bo shipped here, the people ought at least to bo made aware of tbo fact so that they may make up their minds what to do about it There are some kinds of tea exported from China that might prop er ly be labeled "slow poison.’’ They do harm to those that consume them, pro­ ducing stomach and kidney complaints.

During the post year they amounted to UM3.360. Last Friday afternoon a district tele­ graph messenger, who was speeding along tho street with a telegram valued at fifteen cento a minute, was run over and seriously Injured by a blind man named Standfast.

He had taken this leg off to rest it while he by the wayside and begged, and somo mischief loving boys had taken the leg and hid it Standfast missed it, was groping along tho sidewalk feeling for it, and inadvertently moved directly in the messenger boy's wake. Several persons, seeing that he would run the boy down, shouted to the latter that the blind man was after him, and the boy, realizing his peril, made a desper­ ate sprint for his life and for a few feet gained on his pursuer, but before he waa far enough ahoad to turn out with safety the cripple was upon him and ran clear over him before he could be stopped. The boy’a injuries were very serious, as ha fell upon his wrist, spraining it so that it will probably be two weeks before ho can hang on to the step of an omnibus going in the wrong direction. It was reported lab* that night that, owing to his inability to utilize his favorite official timekiller, tbe boy had delivered one message nearly on time, but the rumor waa In­ dignantly denied at headquarters, the superintendent offering to prove by the books that such a tiling had never oc­ curred since the invention of human speed.

From this he was presently roused by his slaves, who reporting In agonized panic that soldiers were in sight, hur­ ried him almost by force into a litter, and plunged into the thickest of the shrubbery between the villa and the sea. Half-way down the slope they encountered the troop, when Cicero, hearing the clang of arms, looked out, and ordered his men in a loud, clear voice to set down the litter, and offer no resistance. Laying his left hand on his chin, with an unconscious gest­ ure very common to him while speak­ ing, he fixed his eye steadily for a moment on tho captain of the band, one Herennius, whom he recognized and called by name. “Come, then, old soldier, if you know your duty, and strike quickly." He stretched forth his emaciated neck, the bystanders in­ voluntarily covered their eyes, and the blow fell. The severed head was set up above the rostra, according to the barbarous fashion not so long gone by, and Fulvia, “with half tho wolfs milk curdled in her veins,” drew out the tongue and pierced it with her bodkin, assail­ ing the dead man with such invective as a Roman virago might compass. But the fickle people of the streets, who had sat so many times entranced under the music of that lifeless tongue, lifted up their voices when they saw the ghastly relic, and wept without restraint.—Harriet Waters Preston, in Atlantic. ROBINSON CRUSOE. Th* Original Hermit of the Romantic Isle , of Juan Fernandes. . When Captain Watling and his com­ pany escaped from Juan Fernandez they left a Mosquito Indian on the island, who was out hunting gonts when the alarm came. This Mosquito­ man. named William, was the first and tho true Robinson Crusoe, the original hermit of this romantic solitude. . A few years afterwards, when Dam­ pier, the celebrated English navigator, visited the island ho and a few of William’s old friends, together with a Mosquito-man named Robin, put off for the shore, where they soon per­ ceived WHllam standing ready to give them welcome. From the heights ho had seen tho ships on the preceding day. and knowing them to be English vessels by the way they were worked, ho had killed throe gouts and dressed them with cabbage of the cabbage tree, to have a Coast ready on the ar­ rival of the ships. How great was his delight, as tho boat neared the shore, when Robin leaped to the land and running up to him fell flat on his face at his feet! William raised up his countryman, embraced him and in turn prostrated himself at Robin’s feet, who lifted him up and they renewed their embraces. "We stood with pleasure," says Dampier, ‘to behold the surprise, tenderness and solemnity of their in;, terview, which was exceedingly af­ fecting on both sides; and when these their ceremonies of civility were over, we also that stood gazing at theni drew near, each of uh embracing him we had found here, who was over­ joyed to see so many of his old friends, come hither, as he thought, purposely to fetch him.’’ At the time William was abandoned he had with him in the woods his gun and knife and a small quantity of powder and shot. As soon as his am­ munition was expended, by notching his knife into a saw he out up tho bar­ rel of his gun into pieces, which he converted into harpoons, lances and a long knife. To accomplish this he struck fire with his gun-flint and a piece of the barrel of his gun, which he hardened for this purpose in a way he had seen practiced by the bucca­ neers. In this fire he heated his pieces of iron, hammered them out with stones, sawed them with his jagged knife or ground them to an edge and tempered them; "which was no more than these Mosquito-men were accus­ tomed to do in their own country, whore they make their own fishing and striking instruments without either forge or anvil, though they spend a good deal of time about them. ’’ Thus furnished, William supplied himself with goats’ flesh and fish, though, till his instruments were formed, ho had been compelled to cut seat He built his house about a half­ mile from tbe shore and lined it snugly with goat-skins, with which he also spread bis couch or barbecue, which was raised two feet from tho floor. Ab his clothes wore out he supplied this want with goat-skins, and when first seen by Dampier and his companions he wore nothing aavu a goat's skin about his waist.—N. Y.

Sheriff Shriner, of Haatings, was in town Thursday for the purpose of se­ curing Eol Dunham and Frank Treat who were wanted at Hasting* to an­ swer to the charge of selling liquor to minors. Treat was not on band bnt Dunham accompanied Mr. Shriner on hie return trip. It is alleged that some of the Hastings ball nine who were in Nashville last week Tuesday, and who were not of an age to warrant anyone in selling liquor to them—procured liquor at the saloon of Dunham A Treat which made them so gloriously ■happy that they did not go to Hastings until the early morning train. Later—Treat went to Hastings at noon Thursday and both he and Dun­ ham waived examination and gave bonds in the sum of $500 each, to ap­ pear for trial at the September term of court.

Klmishaxb, Clkmbxt A GIKIBAL BA] Wednesday, while George Phillips and bis brother were drawing Takings from the wheat field at their home in Maple Genre, an accident occurred which reacted in the death of George. His brother was driving and George walked along the roadside until they arrived at a hill down which they had to drive, at a short distance east of the Quailtrap school house, when one of the horses showed signs of fright and attempted to run. Geprgo succeeded in grasping him by the bits, thinking thus to be better able to manage the unruly beast, while bls brother clung tenaciously to the lines. In some un­ known way George was thrown under the horse's feet, where he was trampled upon and so badly injured that he was unable to moye, and the large wagon with its load passed over his head, cutting an ugly gash five or six inches long, and killing him almost instantly. It is believed that the horse, which is an unusually vicious animal and had previously attempted to run away, struck him with his foot, causing him to release his hold and drop to the ground,where thelife was soon crushed out of him, either by the Worse's feet or by the wagon wheel. The wagon was a very heavy one, the tire being three inches wide. Mr. Bassett was standing bnt a'few rods from where the accident Occurred and hastened to the spot, ar­ riving just in time to see him breathe his last. Help was procured and be was placed in a vehicle and conveyed to the home from which but two short hours before, be had gone forth from dinner a strong young man in the prime of life and glow of health. He would have been twenty years of age this fall, and was a young man of sterling habits and character, and the community deeply mourns bis demise and sympa­ thize with the hefrt broken parents, who were so suddenly and sorrowfully bereft of their loved one. The funeral was held at the house on Thursday af­ ternoon and a large number of friends and relatives attended. New wheat is coming in quite rapid­ ly already, but the bulk of it is badly shrunken.

For The News : Possibly some of my friends who read The News may. wonder where lam spending the va­ cation, and what I am doing with my­ self. I have spent a good share of the past month here. Thia is a little vill­ age of four or five hundred population, situated on the bank of tbe lake bear­ ing the same name, ten miles east of Stanton and too miles north by west Carson City. The only attraction is the lake, and to show that this is an attraction one needs only, to say that at this writing two large hotels are filled with reporter* from Stanton, Ionia, 8t. John*. Lansing, Ithaca, Saginaw and other towns of tbe state. In addition to those stopping at the hotels, many are tenting and renting cottages. The fishing is quite good. Have caught about two hundred of the finny tribe, varying in size from a half pound calico bass and perch to six and eight pound black bass. For a lover of Botany, this is one of tbe finest points in the state, both land and water plants being abundant in almost endless varieties. The lake is one of the finest in the state, is about two miles long by one and a half wide and takes its name from the wonder­ ful purity of the water. Among the persons of note who are here for a short time, trying to renew their youth are Captain Weatherwax, of Stanton, and Judge A. B. Morse, of the $tato supreme bench. Although the judge is getting gray and has but one arm, yet ho can fish, spin yarns and dance as lively as any boy in the company. I have been in the sun so constantly that my complexion might well be envied by the most rugged farmer, and while inclination would lead me to con­ tinue this sort of life much longer,! will return to Nashville within a week.

Over this route there are twenty-nlno changes of grades, some of them very heavy, even to the extent of 1(8 feet to tho mile. It is claimed that ut this experimental sta­ tion two miles per minute are made around a heavy curve, ortho equivalent of 180 miles an hour, or throe miles a minute on a level track.

There are no extensive works, and tho motor car, when it comes out from under its shod, in obedience to tho will of tbe engineer in the-distant plant building where the electric dynamo generates the current, moves deliberately, slowly and with ao absence of all sound. This cigar shaped car, painted a bright red and moving sharp end foremost, at first tight does not seem a wonderful thing as it goes quietly along tho track, but later, when tho engineer at the dynamo puts on more power, or as a steam-car man would say, more stoam, and the creeping thing on tbe ground hastens its movement until it fairly files, and becomes a moving speck of red, spectators feel the progress being made of electricity, and tho great things it will accomplish In the active affairs of life in tbe near future.

If the refined Bostonian desires u bath in old ocean's stimulating bnno he is no long­ er compelled to seek it—in case circum­ stances compel him to enduro tho sum­ mer’s heat in town—by a journey to the beach. He can obtain ono almost at a moment's notice, writes a correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, oy simply stepping into a certain establishment on one of our main thoroughfares in tho heart of the city. Here is found what Is boasted to bo tho most gorgeous and complete plant for ad­ ministering ablutions In tho Turkish style so far known in the United States. It was only opened tho other day and its most re­ markable feature is tbe facilities it offers for sea-bathing on the spot. The proprietor of the concern, as a pre­ liminary to starting it, sunk an artesian well on the premises and struck, not fresh water, os he had expected, but a vein of the purest sea-flood, which camo in straight from tho Atlantic between two strata of slate at a depth of a little over two hundred feet This was considered a misfortune, for it costs money to bore Into the earth with pipes, and another attempt was made some distance away from tho first holo. Two thousand dollars more was ex­ pended, and the flow of salt water was struck again. Scientific ex­ perts were called, and they said that it was evidently a subterranean branch of the ocean, of no great depth but of unknown extent. The phenom non was considered so extraordinary that learned Harvard pro­ fessors have been making it a subject of serious discussion. Tho o wner of the wells was not much Interested in the geological aspects of the matter. It merely occurred to him that ho was <4,000 out. But at length the notion struck him that be might employ tho water most profitably tn a different w^y fend make real sea-bathing one of tho attractions of his place. 8c he constructed an enormous ttfbk, to hold many thousands of gallons, and turned tho flow of tho ocean­ wells Into it. And now, after going through the sudorific and other exorcises incidental to a Turkish bath at this institution, one en­ joys the luxury of a delightful and Invig­ orating plunge in the sea. Tbe tank aforesaid is built, with It* ac­ cessories, in appropriate imitation of a beautiful ocean grotto. It Is lighted by electricity, illtv. red through colored glass of many tints, which illuminates tho walls and roof of what appears to bo a rocky cavern.

It is within the last ten yean that the manufacture of cathedral and rough plate has been thoroughly established, at first disputing and now controlling the home market against England and Belgium. The improvement in window-glass has also been great, and there are workmen and manufacturers who think they see the rising sun of much better days and a much .better American glass. Tbe concentration of capital in powerful concerns must certainly lead to changes In the system of labor that are bound to insure a more finished product A new glass recently invented in Germany is said to add marvelously to the power of the microscope. w A Yule professor announces the invention of a perfect acromatic telescope lens. Legend tells of the lost invention of “malleable glass." Tiberius is said to havo discouraged a genius who found the secret by beheading him, fearing the innovation would reduce the value of gold. It is also recorded that Cardinal Richelieu was presented with a bust of malleable glass by a chemist, who purposely lot it fall into fragments, and mended it before his eyes with a hammer. The inventor wns promptly rewarded by perpetual imprisonment, lest his ingenuity should ruin the “vested interests’’ of French manufacturers. But if glass may not ape the metals in malleability, it may imitate them in another respect just as important. A more fortunate Frenclimaa (M. de la Bastie) has with­ in a few years introduced into Europe a transmuted glass which, he claims, may displace cast-iron. If it fulfils his expectations it will make a new era in glass, and tho old adage “as brittle as glass,” will be superseded by a now one, "as tough as glass.” By his process railway sleepers, fence posts, drain pipes, tanks, etc., are cast in molds, and so toughened by a bath in oils as to be stronger than iron, though much lighter, and costing onethird as much. But it is questioned whether his results reach what is claimed for the process. These un­ developed toughening processes augur astounding changes in the future of glass. "Glass ,houses" may become tho fashion, and we would have to re­ verse our proverb about them, for they would be bomb-proof. Already transparent glass bricks are made. Extending the possibilities of glass a little further, why may we not build the entire structure of glass? The walls might be cemented blocks cast like hewn stone, but translucent, and of any color. Onc»could thus Inhabit a huge pile of amber or of gigantic gems. The windows could be multi­ form. some of them telescopic, bring­ ing dislant things near, some with lenses or mirrors guiding the focussed sun's heat for culinary and comfortable purposes, others straining out the light or chemic rays. Tapestries, furniture and utensils might to mado ot the universal materiifl. The whole would be more endurable than granite. No fire could harm it; lightning would shun it Such a dream, blossoming from this miraculous substance, may be realized by an Aladdin whose lamp is of glass.—Harper’s Magazine. TELEPHONE VIBRATIONS.

STUD EBAKER’S WAGONS NICHOLS & SHEPHARD'S At a recent meeting of the Physical Society, Berlin, Dr. Frohlich mado a further communication in connection with his older, resultless experiments on the objective demonstration of tho vibrations of a telephone disk, in order to describe his new method by which positive results had boon obtained. In his earlier experiments he em­ ployed manometric flames, and en­ deavored to photograph their move­ ments with the help of a rotating mir­ ror; now, however, he attached a small mirror to the iron plate of the tele­ phone, and from this the light of an electric lamp is reflected on to a poly­ gonal rotating mirror, from which it falls upon a screen. The vibrations of the plate were thus made visible on the screen, and since each side of the polygonal mirror cast its own image, when the mirror was rotated the curves were seen moving over the screen. Tho more rapidly the mirror was rotated the slower did tho curves move over the screen, and when the rotation was as rapid ad tho vibration of the plate, the curves became sta­ tionary and could thus be exactly ob­ served and drawn. These luminous curves could also be photographed. The speaker had employed this method in a series of researches on certain electrical phenomena which might in­ fluence the<efficiency of the telephone. Thus the action of alternating cur­ rents, of self-induction, of the rise and fall of the current on making and breaking, of tho introduction of electro-magnets, and of other condi­ tions, were studied by means of tho altered mode of vibration of the tele­ phone plate. The speaker had further obtained a graphic record of the vibra­ tions of the telephone plate when vowels and consonants are sung and spoken into it Many other problems may. by the above method, be brought nearer to their solution. —Science. —A man in Port Huron lately sold tho city seventeen acres of land to be used as a cemetery, provided no liquor should be sold on the premisea — Bur­ lington Free Press.

BarwiMox. «rand riy le, ha* a SATURDAY, PERILS AUGUST A IBM THAT THREATEN SECOND CENTURY. OHB Tbe national evils and dangers that are recognized by the majority of the American people are already in r fair way of being either largely mitigated or wboly averted. As the echoes of our just rejoicings over the magnifi­ cent success of a hundred years of national government are dying away, it is fitting that we should begin the second century with a feailess and candid survey of tho elements of de­ moralisation and trouble that threaten onr future. Blabofk^rthnr Cleveland Coxe, in a verv earnest contribution to the Aug­ ust number of the Fontm, discharges his duty in this regard and utters;warn­ ings that may well be heeded by tbe thoughtful Americans who can du so much to remedy the evil conditions be so clearly depicts. He strikes the true note when he says: A "happy-go-lucky” spirit predom­ inates infall social and civil affairs. We have no class of educated statesmen, devoted to the public welfare and fearlessly expounding tbe dangers and the resources of their countrymen. All sails set, and not a bushel ot ballast, we are careering over waters that may soon be convulsed by storms, and rare­ ly do we consult charts or take our bearings. We have no fear of shoals or of rocks. "Fair laughs tbe morn and «ofl tbe zephyr blows." . • Yes, indeed, and not less true is the poet’s picture of the ship of state in another respect— “Youth ou the prow and Pleasure at tbe helm!" It is time that the young men and the youtlis who will soon control gov­ ernment afid-public opinion and affairs should consider Bishop Coxe’s concise statement of the elements that are es­ sential to our future success in any noble sense of the word. They are, first, a capable foundation of nice; second, a fixed and hereditary system of public morals, and, third, a spirit of fidelity to national traditions and of adhesion to tried and long established institutions. Our first century was controlled by tbe Anglo Saxon stock and by the Protestant religion. But we aro threatened by invasions that bring hostile or incongruous elements. "We do not,” says Bishop Coxe, "rec­ ognize the immigration as an invasion, which it really is, simply because the invaders land wflhout arms and am­ munition. We forget that they come with weapons of fatal import to our civilization and to our race. Vice, ignorance, corruption, superstition and hereditary enslavement to a foreign court, which makes war upon all free institutions, are the destructive ele­ ments, worse than dynamite bomba, which they distribute through the land. What boots their lack of guns and bayonets? We give tbe invaders votes, and they are soon drilled and magnified into a ‘balance of power' which makes them our masters." « Bishop Coxe maintains that tbe perils of alien control are glaring in New York city and threatening else­ where. He says: But if tjiecity of New Y'ork, in its actual state of alien control, is not enough to awaken what is left of pat­ riotism to make thorough work of re­ form, tbe history of every nation where the Jesuits hare been permitted to have their way, will soon be ours. Who is tbe superintendent of public schools? Who co trol the six millions of our school funds? Who these "godless schools.” to which children should not be sent? How is it that their teachers are so largely supplied by the enemy? To the salaries they do not object; much less to the exercise of that subtle influence which a teacher can exercise over children. Tbe public school sys­ tem itself.on which we drowsily rely to make Americans of aliens, is largely in the bands and under the control of those .who will see to it that nothing of the kind shall be effected. Bishop Coxe'insista that Christianity has been "presupposed as the univers­ ally accepted base of our laws and in­ stitutions,” and urges these proofs. The Constitution, {t is true, enacts thia idea. What is enacted may be re­ voked, but wnat suffuses tbe spiriti of constitutional laws rests on the base of a pre-existing social estate which they ate designated to perpetuate and sup­ port. The English language is not made our national speech by Statute, but our laws are written in it, as a mat­ ter of-course, and ao it becomes part and parcel of the law of the land. So the Christian era is assumed in the dating of the constitution itaeif, in the publi­ cation of statutes, the convoking of legislatures, the ordering of elect­ ions, and all other affairs of the nation, and is thus quite sufficient to prove of what sort is the civilization that under­ lies the whole structure of the State and inspires its-legislation. Tbe com­ mon law, recognized in the Constitu­ tion and in all our courts for a hun­ dred yean, is of itself sufficient to de­ fine ourcountry as socially a Christian country. Not dogmatically, as has been shown by Kent and Webster and others of the noblest expounders of our Constitution, but morally, and with re­ gard to those religious motives and principles of actiou which are honored by judicial oaths, by the separation of the loom’s Day from the secular week, and by the dignity assigned to the Bible when oaths are administered in tbe ordinary manner. For a hundred years all this has been ruled in our courts of justice and enforced by our most eminent jurists, but of late there is a base surrender of throe fundament­ al ideas in our journalism and in all our political manifestations. Bishop Coxe goes still further, and maintains these propositions: I have not dwelt upon tho apparent tKat AMr (’nn.Htntlnw’. . m. Tbe thirteen colonies were Protestant. Their unanimous voice in tbe coogrere of 1774, of which Washington was a member, denounced an set of Parlia­ ment for the settles ent of Canadian affairs as "dangerous to the Protestant religion,” and recent events in Canada have demonstrated the wisdom of the protest. But, at all events, such waa tbe spirit out of which our Constitution grew. Maryland was no exception. It was settled by tbe pro­ tectants so numerously from the out­ set that Lord Baltimore foresaw their speedy predominance and, aa Mr. Glad­ stone has observed, most sagaciously be issued his toleration edict in behalf of bis own co-religionists and as a measure of self-protection. We have presented the same ideas that are defended so vigorously by Bishop Coxe and illustrated by refer­ ences to the present dangerous conflict of race and religion in Canada. His forebodings of national evils are not those of a pessimist or of an unbeliev­ er in American institutions, but of a through American who recognizee on wbat solid foundation the Republic was built. His words of warning are likely to stimulate other expressions by Americans in other walks of life who agree with him as to essentials and who believe that for a nation, as for the individual, true wisdom consists in tbe frankest possible admission of real evils and public dangers and the brav­ est condemnation of all that is hostile to abiding gdelity to right principles and to tho conditions of pure and right development. It does not pay to be a hog. Two thieves appeared at a house near Montreal, where a peddler was spending the night, and demanded money. The peddlar gave them bis pocketbook and contents, but they said this was not enough to pay them for their trouble, whereupon be shot them both dead. Mira Kiddle and Mr. McMillin,young people of prominent position in Cleve­ land, were to have been mimed on Friday, but an hour before the time appointed for the ceremony the youug woman decided that she loved another man better and refused to proceed. She is generally condemned, but moit people will believe that for her to have married under the circumstances would have-been little less than criminal. The department of agriculture has just issued a bulky volume of reports on the mischief done by the English sDarrow. The conclusions are that all laws protecting the English sparrow ought to be repealed, and tho killing of tiie sparrow and destruction of its nest and eggs at any season legalized. Farther, it should be a punishable of­ fense willfully to shelter tbe sparrow or to introduce it to new localities. The birds that feed on the sparrow, as tbe batcher bird, sparrow hawk and screech owl, shbul<h be protected; and game constables should have it as part of their duty to bring about tbe de­ struction of these spanows as far as possible. It is beyond all question that these birds have become a serious nuisance. They are quarrelsome and destructive. It is not generally known that they have one excellence: they are good eating. The Rev. Calvin Fairbank is now living in Angelica, Allegheny Co., broken in health and very poor. He will be remembered as one of the heroes of -the anti-slavery contest. About the year 1840, while a teacher in a Ken­ tucky school, he was appealed to by a beautiful girl to save her. Upon learn­ ing her history, be found she was the daughter of a wealthy slave-holder by a slave mother. Her father had allowed her taught at home, and she had proved an apt scholar, and was far in advance of the other daughters in the home, and the wife demanded of tbe husband that she should be sold South. She wasextensiyely advertised and on account of her beauty of person and accomplishments, bidders were promised from liundredsof miles dis­ tant. Upon Fairbank listening to the history and the appeal of tbe slave girl to save her, he set out at once for Cin­ cinnati and laid tbe matter before Levi Coffin and Edward Harwood, the great Abolitionists of that day in Cincinnati. They raised $500 and sent him to Salmon P. Chase. He gave $200, and took Fairbank to old Nicholas Long­ worth. He listened to tbe story and sac down and wrote out a check for $1,000. Chase, Harwood and Coffin then met and pledged $2,000 mure if necessary. Fairbank got back in time for the sale, and bid the girl in for $1,485. The poor girl, atthe laststroke of the auctioneer’s hammer fainted dead away, not knowing whether she had been saved or waa tbe property of a gay Frenchman from New Orleans who had boasted of wbat be would do Witcher. To niake the story sh^rt, Mr. Fairbank took the girl to Cincin­ nati, freed her, and she was mkde tbe adopted child of Gamaliel Bailey, the editor of the National Era. It waa not generally known that she bad any African blood in her veins, and she entered a young ladies’ seminary and graduated witii great honor. From that time on Calvin Fairbank was a marked man in tbe eyes of tbe Ken­ tucky slave holders. He was imprison ed in tbe penitentiary of Kentucky and lashed nearly unto death, under tbe charge of aiding slaves to escape.

Observer savs again, if little one man towns will do why not take our wool, wheat, cattie, poultry, butter, eggs, potatoes, berries, etc., there to sell? If there was a railroad at Kal­ amo Center there would be a maiket there for wool, wheal, or anything else which a farmer has to .sell, and is shipped. As it is, butter has brought a better price there, and it also has at other small towns, than it has in Nash­ ville all summer. As far as a few new potatoes and berries; they are a small matter and but few farmers sell them anyway. It is not the number of stores in a town that makes the market It is the shipping facilities. What means except competition can we employ to know whether we are paying 10'per cent or 25 per cent. When a merchant makes a contract with the patrons, he finds that bis trade increases very rapidly. That he gets cash for his goods. That his wares do not have to lay on the shelves for years before he sells them. He soliliquizes thusly : "I have got it and it is good Actual Field Scene, showing a One-Armed Boy doing First-Class Work with renough for me, if I deal honestly witii “ Big Injun.” From a Photograph taken by tbe Instantaneous Process. these people they will stay by me.

Lord Dalston, whom I bad been staying with not long before. He believes 'that It is the work of a regular jewel robber, and that very likely he got a discharged servant to supply'him with the information. I pointed out to him that no servant who had long left could have given him such precise de­ tails as he seems to have had concern­ ing the jewels of the ladies who were only visiting there, for instance. But 1 could not convince him. As for Mrs. Cunningham’s, that really seems mar­ velous, because she is a cautious sort of woman. I suppose her maid somehow found out tbe secret, and then told it to—Heaven knows whom.” “I suppose so,” said I. mechanically. I was trying to put together what I had just heard and what I bad already known. Mr. Carruthers rose. “1 need not trouble Mrs. Rayner at all now that I have seen you,” said he. “Mrs. Rayner!” I repeated, in the same mechanical stupid way. "Yes. When the servant told me vou were out, she said I could see Mrs. Rayner. I did not want to disturb her, knowing that she has the reputation of being an invalid. But «he insisted.” “Wait one moment," said I, as ho took my hand. “Are you quite sure, .Mr. Carruthers, that the robbery took place !n.-<t night?” Before 1 uttered tho last words, bls eyes suddenly left my face, and were fixed on some object behind mo. I turned, and saw in the doorway Mrs. Rayner, paler and more impassive than ever, and Sarah. All the doors nt the Alders opened noiselessly, and thev had overheard me. And. a.*- I looked nt Sarah's face, my heart heat faster wltll fenr, and witii suspicion become certainty, for I knew that I was on the right track. en ot persuasion to induce her to move. Tell her that it is only for a time, that she shall go back to her own room as soon as tho weather is warmer again; tell her I wish it, tell her any Thing you like to affect her. I have great trust in your diplomatic powers, little madam, and f anticipate the hap­ piest results from them in this Instance. I have given Sarah orders by letter to prepare the big front spare-room.” I was delighted with this letter; It made me for tho moment angry with Mrs. Rayner for her persistent ignoring of his kind feeling toward her. She was always supposed to be attached to her room on the ground floor, and Mr. Rayner wrote as if it would be difficult to persuade her to move. But I had two. powerful weapons in her husband's loving letter and her affection for Haidee, and I resolved to use them well. I desired very much to see Mrs. Ray­ ner alone, and after dinner I went out to my scat in my “nest” for a little while to plan some method for meeting her. While I was there I saw Sarah come out and take the road for Beaoonsburgh with a black bag in her hand. I asked Jane where she had gone.wno replied to the station, to buy some groceries. This was my chance. I put on my galocbes, for it was verywet in the grounds, and 1 went past Mrs. Rayner’s window singing softly to attract her attention. My ruse suc­ ceeded, and just ns 1 pulled one of the branches asiue Mrs. Rayner’s pale face, looking astonished and alarmed, ap­ peared at the window. I smiled and offered her some flowers, motioning for her to open the sash. This she reemed reluctant to do. But I stood .my ground until at last she put a hesi'tating hanj upon the fastening. When tho-window was just a few inches up 1 said-, opening upon a point where 1 ’knew we baa sympathy: “Sarah has gone to Beaconsburgh. I saw her off. I hope she will be a very long time.” ■ 1 was right. She opened the win­ dow, which was a little above ’.ho level of my head, more confidently; and 1 saw that it was burred inside. "Haidee is so much better to-day, Mrs. Rayner,-I think she might come down-stairs fora little while to-mor­ row into the drawing-room, if we make a good fire there. She is very anxious about you.” “Give her my love." said Mrs. Ray­ nor, with a faint smile. "I could Dot do her so much good as you have done.” There was a plaintive ex­ pression Of helplessness in these words which touched me. ‘Thank you. Mist Christie.” "Wouldn’t you be more confortable in one of the rooms up-stairs while the fogs last?” I insinuated, slyly. “Did any ono tell you to say that tc me?” she asked, in a whisper. . “I told Mr. Rayner, when I wrote, that we had a alight fog hero on Tues­ day night, and this morning I had a letter saying that he thought it was bad for you to sleep on tho ground floor when the mists nail begun to rise high, and that he had told Sarah to prepare the largo front spare-room for you.” Instead of looking grateful for this proof of her husband’s thoughtfulness, she became agitated, and at last her agitation grew almost uncontrollable— it looked like fear. "At iast—at last! I have been here too long,” she gasped. I thought that too effect of her nerv­ ous temperament of making her leave the room against her will would out­ weigh any physical good the change might do her. Thu wnd look was com­ ing into her eyes which I had seen there twice before, so I said gently: “Of course Mr. Rapier would not wish you to go if you aid not wish it." But she shook her bead, aud, put­ ting her face between the bars to be closer to me, she said, in a low broken voice: “Do you know what his wishes mean when Sarah carries them out?” I stood looking up at her, appalled. Her terror was so real that it infected me, and for the moment 1 almost shared the poor lady’s mad belief that there was a conspiracy against her. But her next words restored me to my senses. “Are you against me, too?" she asked, piteously. "I always thought you were; but then vou were kind to mv child—and I don’t know whom to trust!” "You may trust me, dear Mrs. Ray­ ner, indeed,” said I, earnestly. "I would not have suggested your leaving your room if I had thought it would cause you so much pain. Indeed, I did not know you were so much attached to 1L" “Miss Christie,” she said at last, “you have influence in this house. If I may trust you, give mo th is proof—get one day’s respite. Let me stay in my own room till—to-morrow.” Her voice sunk till 1 could hardly catch the last words. “I will try,” said L softly. “And, oh, Mrs. Rayner, shall I tell Sam to take the dead leaves away in a wheel­ barrow?” V “No, no, leave them—never mind," said she hurriedly. “You must be in the water. Yon will catch cold. GoHeaven bless you!” She shut down the window in a frightened way, and disappeared into the room. I turned and splashed my CHAPTER XXIL In bls astonishment nt Mrs. Rayner’s ghost-like entrance and appearance, Mr. .Carruthers had not paid much.at­ tention to the find of my question, and I determined to try to get another op­ portunity of putting it to him.

Den­ ham Court. She made no comment until it was over; then she turned to him and asked, with a faint expression of relief: “Then nobody was hurt?” "Oh, no, there was no collision at all! They vanished like spirits, leaving no trace.” "I am very sorry thev were not caught. My husband has been in town since Tuesday morning, and I am nerv­ ous while he is away,” said she, like one repeating a lesson. All this time Sarah stood by her. smelling-bottle in hand, as if prepared for her mistress to faint. Yet to my eves Mrs. Rayner did not look worse than usual. When Mr. Carruthers arose to go I accompanied him to the dftor. but had no chance to communicate my suspi­ cions as to the burglary, fur Sarah followcd closely behind. To give vent to my excitement I wrote to Laurence. With Sarah around I could not be too cautious so I contented myself with an account of Mr. Carruther’s visit and tho robbery at Denham Court, saying in oewetamon that it might have some connection with what I had seen. And then 1 said a great deal concerning less important tilings but much pleasanter to write about. When the pontman called I waited until tbe other mall had been given him anffthen ran out and deposited my letter in the bag myself. I was congratulating myself upon hav­ ing outwitted Sarah, who bad not seen the direction on my letter, when I saw her flit after him and take a letter from the bag. 1 ran up just in time to hear her mutter something about a misdirec­ tion. I saw her place a letter in her pocket wkfeh I knew was mine and walked up twildly to her. " What did you take mv letter out of the bag for, Sarah?” said I. half chok­ ing with anger. "It’s not your letter, miss. What should I want witii any letterofyours?" she said, looking down at me insolent­ ly. “It’s a letter to my sister that I’ve forgotten to put the number of the street on. ' I knew quite well that this was a falsehood, but I could not prove it, for 1 had indeed been too far off to recog­ nize my letter when she put it into her pockeU and my moral certainly count­ ed for nothing. She knew this and stalked off defiantly to tbe house with mv letter, while I crept back to the school-room and sobbed bitterly at the tyranny I was suffering from tills hate­ ful woman. There was one comfort, it could not last long. Mr. Rayner would soon be home and I would tell him about my discoveries. 1 congratulated myself on having been so cautious in my letter to Lau­ rence that Sarah would, not learn much by reading it, and wondered when I and stockings, half crying for pity for could make on excuse to go to Beacons- the poor, helpless, forlorn lady for whom I could do so little.

Bashford in an addrees before the Massachusetts Woman Suf­ frage Association, recently: Ho said: “Our opponents generally go baefras far jw Genesis for arguments, but evefl then they do not go back far enough. They stop with a true account of tho false relation into which man and wo­ man were thrown by sin, and quote this account as the original charter for mankind: <Tby desire shall be to thy husband and he shall rule over thee.' If they will only go rack to the creation of Adam and Eve and to their natural and divine relation before the fall, they will fail to find a sentence which hints at the subordination of woman. Woman was not mado in man’s imago, neither was the dominion of the_ world com­ mitted to him alonty Qn the contrary the record plainly saysf'-dn tho imago of God created Ho them; malo and fe­ male created He thorn, and God said: Let them havo dominion over all thb cartin’ “Now when Adam and Eve descend­ ed from tho sphere of spirituality to tho animal sphere, when the}* turned from a life of faith to follow appetite. God said to man that even nature should rebel against his animal life: ’The earth shall also bring forth thorns and thistles.’ Tho history of every drunk­ ard and man of lust proves that nature fights against him 'and confirms the prophecy. And God said to woman that in this lower animal life with man sho would be constantly worsted: ■Thy desire shall be to thy husband and ho shall rule over thee.’ Six thou­ sand years of history havo proved the terrible truth of this prophecy. “And yet this declaration of wom­ an’s subordination which docs not be­ long at all to tho accdunt of her origi­ nal creation, and which is directly duo tocsin, and which wo see sprang from the very nature of the two and from tho sinful contest on which they thon entered—is quoted rejieatedly as the divine declaration of the ideal state of tho sexes, and wo aro constantly told that any attempt to change it 4s a vio­ lation of tho divine constitution. As well might ono declare that tho thorns and briars which God said tho earth should bring forth on account of man’s sin aro an expression of the ideal atti­ tude of nature toward man. and that we violate tho divine constitution in tilling tho soil and improving its pro­ ducts. "Again, the whole effort of Christ lost in Adam. ’For as in Adam all die so in Christ shall all be made alive.' 11 Christianity is completely to restore that xblch was lost in Adam, how can it skip short of completely abolishing the subordination of woman, which the Bible declares to be the direct result of sin. and leading us back to that Edonio proclamation: ’Let fAcrn have domin­ ion over all the earth?’ “Paul wrote the letter to the Corin­ thians, and all his other letters, not from tho platform of tho rights, but from tho higher platform of love. He declares that he has, from the stand­ point of justice, a clear right to pay­ ment for his labor, but refuses it; says he has a plain right to eat any kind of meat, but declares that if meat cause his brother to offend ho will eat no meat while the world stands.- He asks the Jews and Romans who may be in Co­ rinth. not to confess Christ in Hebrew or Latin unless an interpreter is pres­ ent, tells tho women to keep silence in the meetings and obey their husbands, forbids the slaves to contend for their freedom, but to choose service rather. He even says: ‘Let no man seek his own but every man his neighbor's good,’ and <he argument fitly culmi­ nates in the marvelous exultation of love in the thirteenth chapter. “After reading Paul’s letter as a whole, who would dream of affirming that Paul i» writing, not rd apothesto Of love, but a magua charta of personal rights?

DY JAMES FRANKLIN FITT8. HERE is a strange type of mankind which Ims existed a s long ns written history, and probably longer. 1 refer to the “Soldier of For­ tune;” the Inan to whom the • time of i>cace is the time of sloth and inaction, and to whom actual ... war offers the only inducement to existence. Not only romance, but the sober pages of history ore full of the personnel nnd the deeds'Pf.thi^jwcll-dcfined charac­ ter. Onr own national story so abounds in the coinings and goingx of this person, that he is at least entitled to respectful treatment from any Amer­ . ican who seeks to write of him, and to have a good deal of care exercised in treatingsof and classifying him. He presents hi niseif in so many different aspects, not all of them meritorious or praiseworthy, and is on the whole such an incongruous person, that a column would be required to do him justice. Yet a sharply drawn sketch may illus­ trate many of his different peculiarities. While our ancestors were subduing the native vfildernesa and overcoming the savages, scientific war was being made a business of in Europe. Dur­ ing the whole of the seventeenth and the eighteenth centuries, the years whe.n England and tho Continent, or parts of it, did not have a war on hand were few and far Itetween. Vast stand­ ing armies were tho fashion there then, as now, and this condition of things gave rise to that phrase which has dow lxx»me stereotyped in language and print—“the profession of arms." It had a wider significance than would at first be discovered in the words. It meant not only that men were by the thousands bred, educated, and habitu­ ated to war as a pursuit, but that, failing to find war at home, they must seek it wherever it exfeted, in sny quarter of the globe, civilized or bar­ barous, and take a hand in it. W’e aU laugh at the stock anecdote of the Irishman at Donnybrook Fair, going about with his shillelah in his fist, begging some gentleman to tread cn the tail of his cost. Yet that has been in every age the precise spirit of the soldier of fortune. He wm ever “spoiling for a fight." If he could not have it-at home he would go abroad for it. And the good service wrought all over the world, far remote is home, and in many good has shed much luster on his of fortune. We would doj illustrious Lafayette among- patent of nobility at home, hi? birth­ right as a Frenchman, #nd his influence with his countryman. In fact, he re­ garded his American experience only os an episode—though a very import­ ant one—in hW career. But there waa a host of European Boldiers who throw themselves info out Revolution, loving liberty, no doubt, but also strongly desiring to bear n hand in tho actual fighting. There waa Baron Steuben, a soldier of the . • Frederick, _ rjiQwho gave great j drill, and ."the ability to marie over ___ _ f __ to ____ the ,ContiDental army,.and who was afterward rewarded by the State of New York with a large grant of land, und became an actual citizen and settler. There waa Baron DeKalb, who fell at Cam­ den; Count Tulaski, who was killed at the assault of Savannah; and it is even contended that the great Marshal Ney was, in his early youth, a soldier in our Revolution. The entire list would bo long. There is one grand name which is fairly connected with this subject, and which I still hesitate to classify among those of “i*oldiers of fortune." Gen­ eral Phil Kearney was an American, thoroughly imbued with love of his native* land, and died in her cause. He lost an arm in Mexico, and made a shining record in the war of the re­ bellion, until* his career was untimely ended September 1, 1862, by a Con­ federate bullet at Chantilly. " But be­ tween tho close of the Mexican war and the lieginning of tho rebellion he was in the foreign military sen ice; in­ deed, I believe he hurried home to take up arms for his country. He was so thoroughly a soldier that it was im­ possible for him to be anything else. The business of arms and'fighting en­ tirely engrossed him. When our great rebellion was sud­ denly launched, there was a large hastening of unemployed military men from all the civilized 'countries of Eu­ rope to offer their swords to one side or the other: with many of them it mado little difference which, so long as they wore given rank and active service. Some of those mon were, real soldiers and mado their mark in the war; many other^were arrant hum­ bugs and adventurers, whoso cowardice was disclosed by tho first smell of burnt gunpowder. Not only di.I foreigners claiming military rank and experience hasten to our shores upon the outbreak of the great struggle, bnt tho pcoplo in al­ most every part cf the country wore amazed to discover the great numl>er of foreigners settled -imong them who suddenly blossomM out into military heroes, soldiers of professed long ex­ perience beyond tho Atlantic. A great deal of awe and respect was felt in those days, both nt the North and the South, foAncn who had seen sometiling of war, especially if they were of another country. Commissions were often issued to Germans and French­ men merely on the faith of a jaw­ breaking name, and » good deal of brag as to what they had done and seen on European fields. Some of these gentry turned out well; many of them were of no credit to any cause; and after the first year of the war, the business of looking up adventurers from beyond the seas to make field and staff officers out of, was pretty gener­ ally discontinued. Wo had by that time thoroughly developed tho neces­ sary material on our own soil. It is pleasant to be able to record from actual experience the names of foreign officers who did good Work in our service. I knew quite a number of such. Space is given me for the men­ tion of one only. Who. in the First Division of the Nineteeth Army Corns, has forgotten Lieutenant Colonel De La 1’aturelle, of the Ninetieth New York? He was a typical Frenchman, vivacious, brave, experienced, and aljray popular. His only blunders were those of tho English language, which he could never master. an<l his absurd mistakes in wrestling with it were tho laugh of tho division. He was a true soldier of fortune; getting safely through tho rebellion, he drifted back to Franco, and fell at Gravelotte, fighting the Germans.— Chicago Ledger. _______ or I Saved a tytldier's Life. BY MAUDE MEREDITH. T the begin­ ning of the dv a child, id onlv n rl at that. chance to stinguish myself as a drummerboy even; no pos­ sible way in which I could aid my coun­ try except by sitting in the through tho bright summer days and picking lint. Probably guard duty was never more irksome to a soldier tlmn was the en­ forced qrtiet to.me; bfft I pulled away determinedly. I was bound to do something to help on the cause. Again . and again came the call for more troops, and the home ranks grew thin. One day orders were sent to a regiment then recruiting to move for­ ward in one week’s time. Accompa­ nying the order came material enough for uniforms, with directions to have then) made at home. How the busy fingers flew, and how our sewing ma­ chine, about the only one in the neigh­ borhood—for sewing machines were a new invention than—how its busy I waa already a good operator, and sat bravely by the machine, while my hand grew weary and my overtaxed muscles ached. At last the machine­ work was complete, and I wa*< thrown out of. employment. I could Dot go back to my lint while all was hurry and oonfuairin alx»ut we. Hearing Dan Poynette, an eidcfly man, juat enlist­ ed, nay that he dreaded neuralgia in bullets, I bethought myself of a flaa risil to my grandfather's cut a pattern of his cap, got a niece of the brightest scar­ let flannel, and faahimed the cap. Luckily it was a fit. Teasing the re­ mainder about idly iu my hands, I con­ cluded to make a pin-wheel. Up stairs I went searching my trunk for some­ thing that-should make the firm circu­ lar fonndarions. In doing so I came upon two silver dollars. “I’ll take these," said, “and if he ever gets hungry nnd has do money, they may aoine liandy." Dan was n j»oot man, and somethiug like e twenty-fifth cousin of ours, but mast of all, ho was to be a soldier, and. what would not the patriotic civilian do for anyone who wore the blue. I parted with my “pin mon"y" without a shade of regret, stitched the wheel, stuck it full of pins, and, rolling it up in the flaming cap, presented them to Poynette. He tried on the cap, declared it would l>e the saving ot his life, won­ dered that he or his wife had not thought to make one, and taking up the pin holder asked what it was, and cried out at its heft: “ What has the child got in it?”„ho said, balancing it on his hand. “Oh, if you over get hungry just take it to a sutler’s tent and— cat it,” I sung out, dancing away on a hippoty-bop. Early on the following morning the boys marched gayly away. Again wo won't back to picking lint and watching tho telegraph dispatches. Thon tho air scorned to fill again with recruiting officers, more men hod been called for, and we saw bravo boys marchifig up '.nd enrolling their names among those of their country’s defend­ ers. There was news of battles, and tho awful words, “Killed." “Wounded," “Missing” flooded the land with tears. In ono ot tho lists we read the name of Dan Poynette among tho wounded. We thought pityingly of the wife and children, and offered thorn all the help ixMsible. There were many colls for help in those days, and every heart was sore and bleeding. “Dan has three wounds," his wife told us, “not any of thorn fatal. Ho expects to get entirely well, bnt ho says tell tho little ono that he has a miuie ball lodged just ovor his heart, flattened against w pin wheel, if you know what that is. I don’t." I clapped my hands in ecstasy. Then my silver dollars had saved his life. I had builded better than I knew. I think tho knowledge would send a. thrill of pleasure through tho consciousness of one grown staid nnd reserved with years, bnt to me. an im­ pulsive child, it was simply delightful. Dan never grew entirely well, ns he had hoped, but was given an honorable discharge, soil sent homo with a kneo that would never bend ngnin. On the evening of his first any nt home he came hobbling ovor to our house, wearing his bullet-riddled uni­ form, to show us the dent in tho outer silver dollar of his pin-holder. “I don’t know that 1 ever killed a mon," ho said, looking down to mo with a smile; “I hope not, Jhongh I shot nt them. But I’d rather be in your place, little one, and know for sure that I had saved a man’s life than wear a Genoral’s straps.” Ho had been promoted-for bravery nnd given a Colonel’s strops, so I took my compli­ ment proudly. “The nightcap saved me many an ache, I know, for I have not had an attack of neuralgia since I l>egan to wear it. I’ll never be without ono ngaiurRut it was the money tliat saved my life. There is nothing between mo and a trench in Virginia but that," he said, holding it ont in his hand. Mrs. Poynette came across the room und, stooping down, kissed mo. I fumbled in my small pocket for a handkerchief, bnt failing to find one slipped out when no one noticed, and mopped up my eyes on tho corner of my print apron. “It’s an awful jolly thing to save a man’s lifo,” I muttered, “but" (sniff) "it” (sniff) “sorter mokes ono feel * ' kinder funny." Duacquz, Iowa. The G. A. B. encampment at Jackson, on tho 24th. 25tb, and 26th ult., was largely attended, and was a brilliant sunreal from every point of view. The street* were gayly doepreted, and the parade of Wednesday was a highly credit­ able ono. The make-up of'the. parade waa as follows: ■ Col. G. M. Devlin and staff, consisting of Capt. C. L. Negus,’of Chelsea; T. 0. Brooks, W. W. Bennett, ’nckson, and C. M. Hadley, Litchfield. u,tb 1‘hil Withington no aid**; a detachment of pfllice under command of Capt. John Boyte; tho Purifier Band; the Jackson battalion, consisting of the Jackson Guards, the Jackson Greys, Emmet Rifles. Business College Cadets, and Company D. under command of Lieut. Col. J. E. Tyrrqll. Next camo Gov. Luce and Staff, Com­ mander Brown and staff, and tho officers of tho association, all mounted; a car­ riage containing Mayor Donncoker; oxGov. Blair and Col. Eaton, President of tho Southwestern Michigan G. A. B. As­ sociation, who is here as a guest, (md a carriage containing disabled veterans; tbe G. A. R., under command of Lieot. Col. Dean, and tho Sons of Veterans, un­ der command of M. 8. Redfield. As the head of the column reached Maia street on Jnckson, Gov. Luce and Col. Devlin reviewed the parade and were greeted with frequent cbeers os tho different posts passed. After passing tho reviewing stand the Jackson battalion drew ont to ono sido and halted until the G. A. R. and Sons of Veterans passed, when the different companies returned to their armories. Tho G. A. R. continued the march to the camp ground. As tbo head ot the column entered tho gate a Governor’s salute of seventeen guns waa fired in honor of Gov, Luce. Ranks were broken upon reaching camp, and the .veterans, many of w hom were tired ont with their long march, re­ tired to. their .tents or sought shelter in tbo shade to rest. The parade occupied about two hours and. was w.lnessod by fully 20,000 people. At 5 o'clock tho bugle was sounded for the first dross parade and nearly all tbo comrades responded. The line was formed on tho west sido of the parado ground by Adjt. Gen. Newberry, under the direction of Col. Devlin. Tho Purifier Band furnished tho music and the old vets went through tbo maneuvers of tho dross parade in excellent stylo. In the evening a camp-fire was held in the largo hall, which was attended by all who could gain admission. About 200 members of the Woman's Relief Corps were present, representing corps from Camden, Hansom, Lansing, Kron tier. Eaton Rapids, Hubbardston, Ypsilanti, Williams, Dundee, Coldwater, Litchfield and Adrian. Major Loennecker delivered the address of welcome, and 0/ A. Janes re ponded. Rev. Washingtoti Gardner, tho orator of the day, next delivered an eloquent ad­ dress. . Mr. Gardner was followed with brief remarks by Gov. Luce, Gen. Alger, ex­ Gov. Blair, Hon. Jus. O'Donnell, and Mrs. Harriet P. Thompson, Department President of the W. R. C., each of whom was received with hearty applause. Immediately after the speaking an in­ formal reunion of all members of New York regiments was held in the grand stand. At 7 o’clock a dress parado took placo on theparado ground which was witnessed by about 2,000 people. In the evening a camp fire was held, at which, as Capt. Allen expressed it, they nil spoke, aud which lasted until a lata hour. Tho third day of the encampment was an interesting one. There were no exer­ cises in the forenoon except two contests for prizes, one for the best martial band, in which bauds from Coldwater and one from Jackson were the contestants. Cold­ water captured tbe first prize, Jackson tho second. Tho next contest was for a prize of $50 for the best drilled post, and Butterworth Post, of Adrian, carried off tho prize. Tbo business meeting of tho associa­ tion was attended by a largo number of veterans. Col. G. V?. Devlin, Vice Pres­ ident of tho association, presided. The annual report of the Secretary was rend aud adopted. Tho Secretary announced tho following award of prizes: For the best uniformed nnd drilled G. A. R.

BABE BALL Nashville Wtea a Qane Moaday from the PiehHR, and Lmm eae Tueadaj tu VerBMatnlla According to previous announcement, a mongrel nine picked np about town met the regular nine in battle array at the driving park Monday afternoon. The victims selected to thus sacrifice themselves upon the altar of Captain Weber’s famous team were as follows : Mallory, p; Munger, c; Goodwin, 1st b; Diamond, 2d b; Durkee, 3d b; Francis, s. *.; J. Weber, 1. f.; E. M. Everts, c. f.; L. W. Feigbner, r. f. The pickups were first at bat and sur­ prised themselves, and everybody else by slugging Wizard Hough for seven runs. They kept the lead thus gained until the fourth, when the regulars forged ahead of them by making eight run*. After that the regs, -had every­ thing their own way, winning the game by a score of 29 to 16. Following is the score by innings: ■ 123456789 Pickups............. 7 3 0 2 3 1 0 0 0-16 Regulars............ 3 2 5 8 2 3 1 5 The Vermontville team was expected over here to play Tuesday afternoon, but sent word they could not come, and requested our boys to come over there. They accordingly wandered over to our sister vi’lage on that bright and glorious summer day, accompanied by a diminutive mascot in the person of Guy Hyde, and with S. J. Truman as umpire. Nashville was first at bat and touched up Boyle for four runs. With hearts beating high with hope they went into the field, little dream­ ing of the terrific cyclone which was bearing down so rapidly upon them. Big, brawny fellows, with muscles standing out in bold relief, followed each other at bat in fapid Huccession, lined out the ball into the slippery out field, and chased each other across the plate until the patter of their footsteps on the rubber sounded like rain u$on Qie roof. Before three of them were out, eight runs were piled up to Ver­ montville’s credit, and the smile of confidence on the faces of the Nash­ ville light weights bad changed to a sad, sad look of dismay. Imagine their consternation then, when "Cannun Ball Barber,” whoso lightning throwing has made him famous in thia section of tiie Htate, confronted them in the box in the second inning. Al. Weber was th^only man to get to first, but bis run wa* scored before the inning ended, Vermontville was also satisfied, (acase of compulsion) with oue run iu the second, but braced np again in the third and fourth shutting Nashville out both timesand making for them­ selves five run* in the third and three in the fourth. The fifth was a blank for both teams, some very pretty play­ ing being done. In the sixth the Nash­ ville boys began to get over their fright and with the score standing 17 to 5 against them, went at their old trick of redeeming a lost game. They turned out three runs in the sixth, five in the seventh and eleven in the eighth, while a death-likD silence reigned over the field and even the scorching sun held its breath. In the ninth, only three of our boys went to bat, none of them reaching first, and by aggravating errors three runs were allowed Ver­ montville, tieing the score at 24 runs each. Nashville secured one run in the tenth, but Vermontville went them one better, getting two run* after two men were out, and winning the most hotlycontested game in which Nashyiile ever had a hand. The score by innings is given below. 128456789 10 Nashville...... 4 1 0 0 0 3 S 11 0 1-25 Vermontville.8 1 5 3 0 2 0 9 8 9-36 AROUND THE BASES. Furniss is developing into a sure and hard hitter. The Nashville team goes to Lake Odessa next Saturday to see what they can do with the famous team of that place. Baker made a wonderful one handed catch of a hot liner, in the V ermontville game, which looked good for three bases. Vermontville i* expected over here next Monday, and a red hot game may be expected, with our boys as the winner*. "Cannon Ball Barber” has nb longer any terror for the Nashville team. They long to get action on him just once more. The Vermontville team is composed of gentlemen. They treated our boys well all through the game and made a’ very favorable impression on the Nash­ ville people who were in attendance. The Nashville boys have a peculiar habit of letting their opponents get a big lead in the first half of the game, aud then winning a victory by great playing on the home stretch, but they waited too long at Vermontville. Emmett Everts la the first Nashville man ever known to be sound asleep on second base. In Monday’s game, Emmet was on second and Mallory on first, when Diamond made a two base hit. Mallory run down to second and had to hit Everts with his bat to wake him np. before he could get him started for third. LOCAL SPLINTERS. A. Selleck waa at Hastings Thursday.

Brice's elegant residence' In Fifth avenue. The handsome apartment set aside for the use ot Chairman Brice’s billiard playing friends was trescood In blue and panne led in matting of the same hue, and, to maintain the barmo«iy in color, the cloth, Jt was reported, was dyed a dark blue instead of giffeen, and the effect La said to l>e decidedly pleasing to the eye. ! The example is being followed now by other rich house owners. Women billiard- players have more eccentric ■whims in this respect than the male devotees of tho game. A lady who in­ tended having a billiard room put into her new residence near the pahk saw ; veteran John D. O’Connor about the tables a fortnight ago He showed her various patterns all covered in green. "Good gracious; that cloth will never do!" she cried. "Why. it wouldn’t match our ceiling at all!" ’ Mr. O’Connor playfully suggested that a deal of bother would bo saved if the owners would only remember that green Is tbe best and most lasting color; and have their ceiling ffrescoes made accordingly. The fair customer entiled, and finally selected a cloth of dark gray hue from a sample exhibit­ ed on cardboard. Red eloth is consid­ erably used now in covering tables, and yellow is employed, also, in rare cases to match golden frescoes and hangings. The climax of oddity was reached the other day."though, in an order received from a large firm of decorators on behalf of a New York woman of means who is fond of fifteen­ ball pooL It was for the most ex­ pensive style of table, to be finished with a bright yellow cloth, with pocketa lined with yellow silk, und covers of burnished brass. Tho billiard table maker would not reveal the identity of the customer for whom tho table was made. • The furnishing of private billiard rooms is the most profitable of all the work now done by tho billiard manufacturers. They build tables nowadays, not from standard designs, as in former years, but from special patterns designed by the furniture contractors. calling for the most elaborate and costly carv­ ing and finishing. For years the table built for Patti, und now in tho billiard room at her castle Craig-y-Nos, in Wales, was considered the most mag­ nificent in the world. It cost $3,000, and was finished in satin-wood and other costly woods. Exquisite handpainted panels and tllo work of mother of pearl helped to make its aides things of rare beauty. But it has been sur­ passed in costliness and exquisite finish in the tables built for certain Ameri­ can millionaires. A famous New York art decorator received an order for a table that is to cost $8,000 when com­ pleted. It is to be finished in ivory, with blue tritammings, and the cushion rails are to be inlaid with ivory and blue jewels. Thocloth is being woven in Brussels. The trtbl© is for the wife of a New, Yorjp raillionuiVe. The popular taste now demands an­ tique oak of exquisite carving for the body of the table. Tho pretty ginger­ bread work of paneling and tiling that was tho rage a few years ago has been almost entirely banished. The effect of the rich carvings and old oak appears to be more captivating _ ' to tho eye of tho wealthy bil­ liard players of to-day. Tho billiard table of a famous millionaire in Fifth avenue, near the cathedral, is of an­ tique oak, and is set In a room that is finished in tbe Moorish style with an amazing splendor of decoration. The walla are set with tiles brought from Spain, and tho mantels are of Mexican onyx. A cue rack with columns of of onyx rises above the mantle. The billiard room of an equally famous young railroad magnate is finished in old gold and black hangings, with antique oak and ebony furniture. The ceiling is frescoed in old gold and black, with which tbe green cloth of the tabic matches. Art work has also effected a revolu­ tion in the making of the cues, and some of the handsomest now cost as much almost as an ordinary billiard table. The sticks are inlaid with costly woods, and decorated with gold and silver to please feminine tastes. The most remarkable cue of recent years was made not long ago for a young society belle who has a liking for billiards. Il was inlaid with as many as thirty different kinds of wood, and the butt was set with jewels. Jt cost nearly three hundred dollars.— N. Y. bun. An Ancient Church Organ. The oldest orgam in the United States is said to be in SL John's Church, Portsmouth, N. IL It was imported by Thomas Brattle in 1713 and pre­ sented to the society worshiping at King's Chapel by him.

George Francis Train was born in Boston March 24. 1829. In 1833 his father, mother and three sisters died of yellow fever in New Orleans. In 1842 he was in college In Cambridge. Mass. He was married October 5, 1851. In 1853 he established the house of Goorge Francis Train A Co., shippers, in Melbourne, Australia, and during the samey ear declined the presidency of the Australian republic. In 1860-61 he devoted himself to the introduction of street railways iq London, but, not succeeding in this, returned to America in 1862 and be­ came noted as a public speaker. In 1862 Train was assaulted in Boston, Dayton, and elsewhere-on account of his utterances, and an attempt was also made to assassinr’e him at Alton, III. He obtained the original capital —about $2.000;000—to construct the Union Pacific. In 1864 he organized the Credit Mobllier with a capital of $10,000,000 and obtained donations of land grants for the company- at Oma­ ha. In 1872 he wont to Europe and delivered many public speeches, and on his return published some alleged obscene literature, and Anthony Com­ stock put him in the Tombs. Train was also adjudged a lunatic, but aftqf a year’s confinement was released. In 1874 he became the champion of work­ ingmen. and quit eating animal food, butter and condiments- He refused the Greenback presidential nomina­ tion in 1876, also refusing invitations to lecture- In 1877 he began psycho­ logical conversations in Madison Square. Train is said to be rich. He owns real estate in Omaha and other parts of the West. For many years Train has refused to shake hands with men and women, claiming that it weakened bis physical and intellectual powers. He goes every day to Central Park to feed the birds aud enjoy the company of the chil­ dren, with whom he is a great favor­ ite.

How It Was Done—An Interesting Little Romance. [Written for Thia Paper.] -taflMftw. MORE charming quartette of girls could not be found though Gus len­ ders. as he sat just behind them nt a matinee one Satur­ day afternoon. Their tongues ran at a rate which dis­ couraged that rep­ resentative of the press, for he was . the society editor of the Sundag Morning Circle.* He gathered from their conversation, however, that Richard Stanwood had been ensnared into a matrimonial en­ gagement with one Virginia Lester, n Kentucky belle, while summering among the Jakes. One of the girls ob­ served that Dick Stanwood was so nice, she had met him at the Bement House, while two others asserted in the same breath that Virginia Lester was tbe dearest girl in the world, in every way worthy of him, that her father was just determined that she should marry her cousin whom she hated, but that she would not listen to such a proposition. These two pieces of information greeted ihe ears of the astonished society editor simultaneously and re­ solved themselves into tbe following bit of news which appeared In next morning's paper: ••Die engagement of Mr. Richard Stanwood and Miss Virginia Lester has been announced. Mr. Stanwood is a rising young railroad attorney and has a host of friends in this city, who tender their congratulations.” On Sunday morning, us Mr. Richard Stanwood seated himself in his favor­ ite arm chair in his luxuriously fur­ nished apartments, he took up his morning paper; he glanced at the tele­ graphic column, read a few patent jokes, skipped the poetry and finally settled down to rend the “Personals,” which the Social Circle made a apo­ dal feature. As he came to the middle of the col­ umn he began to read mechanically: /•The engagement of Mr. Richard Stanwood—’’ Presently he began to realize, in a dozed way, that the name was familiar to him. Thun he ru-read it carefully, and exclaimed: “The deuce! This is some of ‘.hat scoundrel Gus Landers' work. I’ll hunt him up and cane him.” Stan­ wood was one of tho many Cleveland bachelors who pride themselves on their Impervious hearts, and his dis­ gust and anger were deep and sincere. He would be guyed to death by his friends; it was t-oo bad of Gus. And who was Virginia Lester? He had no acquaintance among the famous beljefc of the Blue Grass region, and had never set foot in the State. He wa» sure to meet Gus at the club some time during the day—they both be­ longed to the "Pocahontas”—and he would make him explain. For many days tbe name of his sup­ posed fiancee haunted him; he won­ dered what sort of a creature she could be. At times he imagined her tall and dark—a typical Kentucky beauty—with the grace and refine­ ment peculiar to her class; again he pictured her bold, assertive and mas­ culine. until, between his desire to settle his score with Gus and to know quietude in terfered seriously with the He was that anomaly found only In vyalems centering in Cleveland. one I’ve met has congratulated me. I’ve denied St, but they won’t be­ lieve me.” said Stanwood, with a deeply injured air. •Til make a retraction,” interrupted Gus, cheerfully. “Retraction be hanged. I know what you’ll say. The retraction will be worse than the original offense.” When Gus saw that his friend was really disturbed, he said: ’Tm really dfrrry it happened, old fellow. I hadn’t time to hunt you up and get you to corroborate the report; in fact I knew you would deny it. after tho manner of mankind in such matters. Any how. I’ll toll you how it hap­ pened.” Thereupon he proceeded to relate the story of his oaves dropping at tho matinee, explained how the mis­ take occurred, and apologized humbly. ••I was at Genova only a few days.” said Stanford, somewhat modified, “and did not make any acquaintance at all.” Then he asked: “Have you any idea who the girls were?” “I knew none of them personally, but fancied that one was Mollie Curtis, who Ilves on tho avenue. Her cousin, Jim Curtis, is a chum of mine; ho works on the Evening Moon. I have heard him speak of her frequently," said Gus. "Oh/I wish you’d get mo an in­ troduction.” said Stanford, hesitating­ ly, then adding, apologetically: ••Of course it’s only natural for a man to have some curiosity concerning tbe woman whom It has been announced he is about to marry.” “Oh. of course.” answered Gus, “I’ll manage to get Jim to take us to call on Mollie. I’d like to know her my­ self. • She’s such a gay little girl.” As Stanwood took his leave. Gus chuckled to himself: “Tho leavon is working!* anyhow. Who knows but that it may turn out a mutch? I must have misunderstood those girls. Their tongues ran at lightning speed.” . A short time after this Stanwood and Lenders accompanied “Cousin Jim” to cnll on Mollie Curtis. Stan­ wood wits not quite so much nt case as usual, and it was some time before he had an opportunity to broach the sub­ ject which had occasioned the visit; for Gus, with assurance natural and acquired, appropriated the young la­ dy’s attention. Never hud Stanwood heard him talk so glibly and on so wide a range of subjects, from the Bulgarian complication to the yacht race. When he touched upon the lat­ ter Stanwood summoned up courage and interrupted him with what, under other circumstances, he would have considered unpardonable rudeness. “I beg pardon.” he said, “but. Miss Curtis, 1 believe you spent the sum­ mer at the lakesF’ An overt wink from Gus rather disconcerted him. Mbs Curtis, mentally wondering how he knew, answered: “O, yes, and such a lively time as we had!” “I suppose you went down the St. Lawrence and shot the rapids." “No, we didn’t. Wo went the other way and stopped at Mackinaw." “Isn’t it strange how many typus-of people one meets on such journeys, and always some congenial onesF’ ob­ served Stanwood drawing her out, with professional craftiness. “O. yes. wo mot such a nice party from Louisville, so interesting—a party of teachers. They were so gay, and enjoyed every thing so much." FROM WfHVILH Stanwood’s interest waned instantly, for he had an unreasonable prejudice against school teachers, and he en­ deavored to change the subject. No school teacher for him! Gun. however, was more liberal, and was determined to find out all about them, so he took up the thread of talk where Stanwood dropped it. and boldly asked: •‘Did you meet a Miss Lester—Vir­ ginia Lester—with that party?” “Why yes, how odd. Do you know her?” “No.” he answered, unblushlngly, “but she’s a friend of a friend of miae. and I naw her name among the list of guests at the Leland. suppose a finale—a luncheon at the Palladium, and a walk aftorwarda” Hi* salary would not stand it, poor fellow. The call ended and was never re­ peated by Stanwo<xl. ungrateful wretch, his curiosity being entirely satisfied. Not so with Gus, however, he went so often afterwards that the burden of his nightly petition was for a raise of wages, that for him, too, there might be post-matinee repasts— a petition, that was finally answered. ralMtlMt ExjKmttioD ot 1W5 in Philadelphia. entittai Fourth of July, rattling the old enare drum with angular fiouriutaa of hie antique stick* by th*, old-time fl for and tbo PART n. “Hl: with Cupid'* arc • A week after this memorable event Stanwood was ordered to Louisville to transact important business for his system. The notice given was short, and he was disgusted upon presenting himself at the office to learn that all the berths had been token, and that ho must^make the long journey with the vulgar herd in a common coach. It was in no pleasant frame of mind that he arranged his belongings in a seat which happened to be just in front of a remarkably pretty young girl, whom he did not notice, however, at the time. Tho train rattled on through the dark­ ness, making the necessary stops. It halted finally, and. after waiting some time, tho passengers began to question the cause of tho delay. The mon, with one impulse, left tho car and Stanwood wtw among them. Ho re­ mained outside for some time and m he was resuming his seat, a voice, sweet and unmistakably Southern, asked: “Will you please toll mo want is the matter?" “A freight has been derailed - four miles ahead of us. Wo shall bo de­ tained here four or five hcurs. until the track .is cleared,” ho answered looking at her intently. "Is it late or early?” she asked again. “I have been sleeping so soundly that I have no idea of the time.” “It is just ten minutes until four," ho said, consulting his watch. “It will be light in less than an hour,” She thanked him, naps were re­ sumed and the car became quiet. Stanwood dozed.but not so soundly that he was unconscious of his neighbor’s movement*. An hour afterwards, when she woke again and sat up, he noticed that she looked pale and fa­ tigued from the cramped position in which she had been forced to lie, also that she was well dressed and lady­ like. So, venturing to make himself agreeable, ho said: "Pardon me, but would you like to go out on the plat­ form a little while? it is so warm in here ” She, having long since made up her mind as to hisstatps, gladly consented taking advantage of that informality which seems to be jwrmissable in ac­ cidents, or on belated trains. They walked up and down the plat­ form of tao station, which proved to be a junction with no other accommoda­ tions than a small waiting room. Their conversation was restricted to the ac­ cident, its cause, tho probable length of the detention, and like topics. Finally Stanwood remarked, look­ ing at his watch again: “It isn’t often I take so early a morning walk, and I must confess it has given me a fero­ cious appetite, which is aggravated by tho fact that there is no hope of getting any thing here.” “I can come to the rescue. If you will permit me,” she said. “If you will ac­ cept the half of my luncheon.” He thanked her; they went back into tho car, found tho lunch-box and re­ turned to tho platform. The sun was rising, tho morning was bright and warm, and they cast about for a suit­ able’ place in which to take their im­ provised breakfast. “I don’t fancy having a dozen hungry people watching me while I eat," said Stanwood, indicating a small grove near the track. They selected a log for a tableand spread the food on a newspaper" between them. She polite!}’ gave him the only napkin, which he reluctantly accepted when she* insisted and said with a smile: “I suppose you will miss your ac­ customed luxur^ss, but it is the best at my command.” “Your provider must hare had a pre­ monition of this accident; every thing is by twos,” he said, smiling in return. “Shi^knew-I coulinotget borne until late this afternoon, so sbe gave mu enough for breakfast and luncheon, both, f do w dislike getting out in the mob nt the eating places.'' The meal prooeedod merrily until not a scrap remained, and was finished by a drink from a little stream near by. Stanwood then observed:, “Our break­ fast was so very informal that I had almost forgotten tbe conventionali­ ties. It is well sometimes, to de­ mand tbo credentials of one’s chance acquaintances.n With this he handed her a card. She took it and made no other reply than “Thank you,” glanced at it and flushed slightly. Just then the engine gave a warning whistle.

I would bo glad to have you call to-morrow, that my mother may add her thanks to mine.” Stan­ wood accepted the invitation with . alacrity, and when tho door had closed, declining to intrude at that' hour, he walked away. Two hours later, ns Stanwood was passing through the corridor of tbe Galt House, he ino| an old friend, Jack Shirley, who impulsively grasped his hand and said: “You are tho vary man of all men I am glad to see. My mother gives n reception this evening to my brother Tom. who starts on his wedding journey to Europe to-morrow. I came here to meet! some friends, but they did not arrive.” Stanwood interrupted this stream of talk by saying: “Can’t possibly do iL I have no dress suit with mo, and it's too late.” “O. nonsense! Tho fun has _just began. I’ll fit you out, necktie, bou­ tonniere and all, nt the house-” Accordinglyv in a short time, ho found himself in the midst of a gay and ani­ mated throng, comprising the youth, beauty and fashion of the place- He was soon so engaged in conversation with n captivating little brunette so that he did not notice the later ar­ rivals. When the beauty had excused herself to dance, Jack came up, and said: "Stanwood, 1 want to introduce you to one of tho nicest girls here. Not rich, you know, but belongs to one of our best old families. Here, you know, we go more on that than any thing else. Her name is Virginia Les­ ter.” • At mention of the name Stanwood started. Then he said, coldly: “l^ell. Jack. I don't believe I care to meet any more strangers. I am staying such a short time.” , But, were the day's adventures to never end? At that moment his eyes fell upon the familiar figure of his traveling companion, who had exchanged her rough cloth dress for a gown of soft cream­ colored mull, w\th a brood sash of cardinal silk, and a great duster of cardinal salvia on her bosom. There was no trace of weariness in her face; her eyes) and checks were glowing with pleasure and excitement Catching Jack’s arm. Stanwood said: “But do introduce me to that lovely girl there—tho one in white and red." “Why, that's her! Come along.” They danced and talked together, and she explained that the bride was a dear friend of hers, otherwise fatigue would have kept her at home. • On bidding her good night, for the second limo. Stanwood whispered: "You may expect me to-morrow after­ noon al four.” The appointed hour found him punc­ tually waiting for her in the pleasant but plain little drawing room, as did the afternoon of many succv: ding days. Finally, upon the day fixed for his return to Cleveland, he rose from the chair in which he had been sitting and Bat down beside hqr. on a little divan where she had established herself, closer to the open fire. He took from hi* pocket a memorandum book, took therefrom a printed slip, handed it to her, and said : “So this is the reason you would not tell me your name when I gave you my card." She glanced at it, blushed very red and murmured : “Yen.

He resided in Tuscola county, Michigan, when the flag of our nation- was fired upon at Fort Sampler—Of his seven sons, four of them obeyed their coun­ try's call. One of them after faithful service was di»chargt«l for disability and returned an invalid for life. An­ other one was never to come bock to the dear ones at home, but was mas­ tered into •’The great army of the silent dead.”—Oar hero was not long discussing the4|ueation of duty, or the amount of sacrifice he was called upoy to make, and though he was 50 years of age, he still gloried in his strength, was perfect in his physiqae, full of en­ durance, and a patriot’s blood ran in bis veins. Bidding good-bye to wife and children, he recruited 50 men, and to save his town from the draft he too enlisted, marching with them to Sag­ maw. He was offered, the position of lieutenant, but declined tbe honor, choosing rather to sene as sargeant, that be might be with “the boys.” His regiment was known a* the 29th Mich, completing its muster October 3d, 1864, broke camp October 6th for Nashville, Tecnesce, bat was sent on to Decatur, Alabama, arriving theie October 36th, 1864. ia*t ip time to march from the car* to its position in line of battle to repel the advance ot the eDemy under Gen. Hood, whose forces were attack­ ing that place. Sergeant Snrine was in the right wing of the regiment, which was immediately ordered to the front to occupy the line of rifle pits on the left of the redoubt. In gallant style, and with firmness they withstood the hot fire of tbe artillery and musketry of the enemy until dark, at which time the Rebels M-omed to understand the reason why1 they could not advance, for wit h such soldiers as Sergeant Snrine and his comrades, as well might they attempt to storm Gibralter’a rocks as to move the immovable ard invincible heroes of the 20tb Michigan, for only by marching over the dead bodies of our heroes could they gain an inch of ground. The main part of our forces were, for the night, withdrawn in "ide the main works, and one hundred men were to strengthen the picket line and hold the rifle pits. Sergeant Snrine was oreot the picked bundled and tfieir line was kept intact. A part of the left wing of tbe regiment bad been ordered to fort No. 1, and for three days 500 men kept the enemy, 5,000 strong, at bay until reinforcements arrived when tbe rebels were driven from their last line of rifle pits and victory perched upon tbe colors of the 29. This success­ fol aud noble defense of Decatur in which Sergeant Sai ine eo heroically bore his part was second to no minor enengagement daring tbe rebellion. The vigorous, splendid fighting of this regi­ ment under Col. Taylor and his officers, although but a few days in the field, coaid scarcely be excelled by long tried veterans. Sargeant Snrine waa in five battles within two months time and he served faithfully in every position and what­ ever duty called until he waa hororably discharged. He returned to his home in Tuscola Co., with his strong right arm weakened, his life was laid down for his friends and his coon try. About twenty years ago he settled in the township of Vermontville with his family, wbo coaid no longer depend upon him fortheir support, as before the war. A few years before hia death he filed a claim for an invalid pension, but died before it matured, and it still lingers in the “pension mill”. / To Mrs. Surine we tender our heart felt sympathy...

At the bottom, on almost sense­ is** heap, lay Sarah, one arm twisted under her and her head m ja pod! oi blood. Her arm was doubtless orbken as she moaned when it was touched. Jane and the cook were summoned aud made their appearance. It was past midnight hut I waa obliged to send Jane to the village for Sam to tell him to take one of the horses and ride to Beaeonsburgh for the doctor. And then we crouched down and watched her, the cook supporting the wounded woman against her knee until the front door bell sounded and we heard the doctor’s heavy tread noon tho stairs. "It was Dr. Lowe. He said we were right about iter arm being broken. He ent off her long black hair, bandaged her wounds, and then placing her upon a mattress she was carried to her own room. •'Who is going to sit up with her?” asked he. “I will.” said I, but added doubtful* )y: "U-” •‘If what?” said the doctor, turning upon me sharply. I drew a little apart, and said: “Dr. Lowe, do you think tho sight of one sho disliked very much would bo bad tor her?” Hr looked at me keenly as he an­ swered: • “No. She jvon’t bo .able to recog­ nize any body; but I warn you she will be restless. How did the accident hap­ pen?” I told him all about it, and he ad­ vised me to get out of the house as soon ns possible. Then after giving instructions as to the care of Sarah he left the house. 1 sat by her side for some tlmd and had fallen into a slight doze when I was suddenly awakened by the low hoarse cry of “Jim.” “Jim!* Then she added in a whisper.* “They are after you, Jim! It’$ about the check. You must bo off to-night Go to the old place. I’ll put ’em off, and I’ll let you know." Then more mutterings and exclama­ tions, and before long she began again to speak incoherently: “Ifs too risky, Jim. I’ll do it if you want me to; but it’s putting yourself in danger as well as me. All right. I’ll pass it" Then she broke out passionately: “It’s an ill thing vou’re going to do, James Woodfall. What do you want of a lady for a wifp? Her money’s none so much, and, as for her pretty face, it’s the face of a foot I’m twice the woman to look at that she is, and I’m only twenty-fire; and I’ve stuck to you through tliick and thin. Why don’t you marry me. Jim?” "Don’t go for that, James,” she once said, imploringly. “It’ll be a lifer if they catch you; and they’re had their eye on you lately. There’s many a safer vw of pHtfar mouev thin that." Another pause, and then came a speech which chilled me with horror. “Dead men tell no tales, Jim.” said she, in another fearful whis­ per. “It’s easy done, and it’s safer. What’s an old man’s life, that you’re so shy of touching him? You've done many a riskier thing. Why do you al­ ways turn coward at that?” I could scarcely sit and watch this woman fiend after that I seemed to see murder in her fierce fiery eves; and Ishuddered even as I moistened herdra lips and touched her burning forehead. She rambled on in the same style, men­ tioning other names I had never heard, and not a word of me or Mr. and Mrs. Rayner, or even of Tom Parkes, until she broke out angrily: "Jim’s mad about that little Christie girl. Tom, and he says he’ll marry her iff spite of every thing, and I've got to bring it about,’5 she hissed between her teeth. -.. What awful confusion in her mind was there to connect me with her criminal lover of years before. There suddenly woke np In my mind the re­ membrance of the evening when, hid­ den in my ••nest." I hail overheard a conversation between her and Mr. Rayner’s mysterious visitor, who had afterward tamed out to be Mr. Car­ ruthers’ man servant, and I remem­ bered that she had expressed jealousy of some man called • Jim." Was it the same man? How was it that he never appeared? 1 bad thought at the time that she must mean Tom Parkes, and that the woman sbe was jealops of was Jone, but, on the whole, she got on well with Jane, and tho only person in the house against whom her animosity took any serious form was myself. And now she fancied thia “Jim" wanted to many mo—and 1 had never even seen him!’ She was rambling again into the present, though, for the next speech that caught my attention was: "Ifs a good weight, Tom—Jim might have lent you a hand. The water’s deep in the cellar, but it won’t hurt the jewels, and the plate'll clean. Come on." Wav it the Denham Court robbery that was on her mind now? I held my breath while she went on: ‘•Tom. that sneaking Christie girl’s got wind of it somehow. Jim’s that gone on her he won’t listen to me; #id, if I don’t prevent it, she’ll be his ruin.” Again that strange confusion of my name with that ot the unknown Jim! the last few houta waa too much for ma I fell fainting to the floor. The next morning I owoko with £ headache. The grease had been re­ moved from the stairs, but I Devci went down them at night without s shudder. I telegraphed Air. Rayner to tell him of the accident, without in­ forming him of the cause, and re­ ceived a reply before dinner time. "Am much distressed about accident Give her every care. Hava sent off an experienced nurse already." And by the afternoon train she ar­ rived—a silent, middle-aged woman, the very Bight of whom inspired re­ spect, which in my caso amounted tc awe. I sat’with Haidee in my room most of the day. Just before dinner time Mrs. Rayner cam j into the room. See­ ing her in the full light of mV font windows. I was shocked nt the change in her appearance which had taken place since my arrival at the Alders, n little over two months before.

Sho made little reference to the previous night's adventure, only "I ^iear Sarah is ill. I had to go in greasing the stairs.

Bat to all we said sbe only replied steadily and coldly that she disliked traveling, did not fed well enough to undertake a journey, and preferred remaining at the Alders. She added, in tho same parrot-like tone, that sho thought the change would do me and Haidee good, and that It was very kind of my mother to go. | After dinner I ran up-stairs to my room, and sat down to write my scaroely-begun letter to Laurence.

A woman :who ia always “just out” of saleratus .will stir up more trouble Ln a neigh­ borhood than a mad-dog. anda flock x>f fifteen hens, and a rooster. J Sho will run Ln on you at any and all hours, and want to borrow just a little sugar, or spice, till she can send to the •grocer's. She really did not know she waa anywhere near out, till she went about her cooking, and then she found that she hadn't a dust of sugar in the house, and not a soul around anywhere that she could send out after any! And she will tell you that she does •o hate to trouble you; for if there is any thing on earth that she dislikes to ■do do. it is to borrow—and she never does it when she can help it; but now her pie crust is all on the plates, and she was obliged to, because sbe could not spare tho time to run to tho groc­ er's. And she will sit dowq In your kitchen, and stop half an hour, and talk about every body in town; smd, meanwhile, she will take an account of •very thing her eyes fall on, and she will see behind your stove the cobwebs that you forgot to brush down this morning; and sbe will notice the old books that your husband left on the wood-box to dry. and she will see that your lamp chim­ ney* have not been washed, and that your dishes are in the sink, and that you had ham for breakfast, by tho •patter of grease on the stove; and when she goes into some other neigh­ bor’s house, on a borrowing expedi­ tion, site will give a report of what she saw in your kitchen, and swear the neighbor over to eternal socresy re­ garding it; and the consequence will be that in a week it will be all over town that your folks live on ham, and that you are tho most untidy house­ keeper on the footstool. When the borrower returns what she borrows, it is always in a little smaller measure, if, indeed, she returns it at all. And you may congratulate your­ self if you get half what belongs to you. A regular borrower will borrow every thing, from a piece of salt fish for breakfast, down to your boy, if you have one. The book borrower is even a greater nuisance than the woman who borrows household supplies. She never hesi­ tates to ask for the choicest or costliest books in your house. And she seems to think that she confers a favor on you by so asking. And if you croJool enough to lend, the possibility is that you will have to go after the books in question, and will find on doing so that sho has lent them to some friend of hers, who wanted to read them; and she will tell you that she know you would be willing—you are so good-natured. In the course of our life we have been asked to lend every thing in tho book lino that over we owned, except our Bible, and somehow nobody has ever seemed to care about borrowing that; and in nine times out of ten, when we have complied, our literature ha* come back to us Ln a shape that fitted it only for kindlings—if, indeed, wo were lucky enough ever to set eyes on it. So we say to all our friends, if it be possible to avoid it, never have a bor­ rower for a neighbor.—N. Y. Weekly. HEAD TO THE NORTH. Why W« Should SU«p with Oar Bodice Lying Xorth uu<! South. Scientific investigation prove* that there is the beet possible foundation for the belief that we should sleep with our bodies lying north and south. Each human system has magnetic poles, one positive and one negative. It L* true that some persons have the positive pole in the head and tbe nega­ tive pole in the feet, and others the reverse. In order that the person sleeping should be in perfect harmony with tho magnetic phenomena of the earth, the head, if it possess the posi­ tive pole, should lie to the south, or if the feet possess the positive pole, the head should lie to the north. The positive pole should always lie opposite to the magnetic center of the continent and thus maintain a magnetic equilibrium. The positive pole of the person draws one away, but the magnetic pole of tbe earth draws the other way and forces the blood to­ ward the feet, affects the iron in the system, tones up the nerves and makco sleep refreshing and invigorating. But if a person sleeps the wrong way and fails to become magnetically in sympathy with tbe earth, be will then probably be too magnetic and will have a fever, resulting from tbe magnetic forces working too fast; or he will not be magnetic enough and the great strain will cause a feeling of lassitude, sleep will not be refreshing, and in the morning he will have no more energy than there is iu a cake of I soap.

AN INVENTOR'S FATE. How a Chicago Tailor Waa V.ctlmlcad by a DUhiXMHl Parta er. The recent experiences of a Chicago inventor may benefit soma He was a thoughtful, hard-working tailor on the West Side. The fact that he had a wife and throe daughters to support helped to sharpen his wits. While sitting with his legs doubled under him oh tho tailor's table he devised a contrivance for the pressing ot seams on tailor-made or rougher home-made garments. Hu said little about it to his co-workora until his lawyer told him his patent was properly applied for and that he could make and soli his invention. He had a few dozen manu­ factured. He t»ied to sell them to the large stores dealing in household arti­ cle*. No one wanted to handle them be­ cause there was no demand for them. Here his ingenuity camo in again. He had his wife visit several establishments to purchase the new pressing-board. The next day hl* oldest daughter in­ quired at the same place for the same article. Tho merchants could not pro­ duce it A week later tho inventor sold his little stock easily to the parties who previously would not touch it So much for his ingenuity. Then ho took in a partner and enlarged his opera­ tion*. The little “presser” was manu­ factured by the hundreda Tho part­ ner offered to go on tho road and intro­ duce the invention. He went to St. lx>uis and telegraphed for a car-load of pressers. Thoy wore forwarded at once. Another cur-lond was ordered for Peoria and Springfield. Thoy went, and tbe last cent of capital tho poor in­ ventor could raise went with them. Tho partner forgot to remit The partnership was broken, and so was tbe tailor. So much for hi* business capacity. Tho inventor sold his right and title in the thing to pay his debt* and went back to his needle and his bench.—Chicago Journal. ENGLISH ’DWELLINGS. Honwx ot Thoughtful Civility wad Unawarrtng Loyalty. The characteristic English dwelling Is described as a two-story brick house, walled in, and with the best part of the house at tho back; there are the drawing aud dining-rooms, while the kitchen and pantries are in front In suburban and country houses the rooms are largo and are arranged around a hall; but the windows and doors are smalt Tho outside of the house is almost uniformly without architectural decoration*, and the dull­ ness of the climate is seen in tho som­ berness of the furniture and the adorn? ments of the housa The Interior is dull and uncheery. There is little “sweetness and -light’’ in the colors, forms and expression*, except in the dwelling* of more recent building and furnishing. Up to with­ in a few years the inside finish was all ot dark wood and tho furniture was mahogany, of very heavy and ungainly construction. But if you can dissoci­ ate the idea of comfort from that of art, the English home has a very marked spirit of oomfort. The sofa is easy and big, and tbe chairs were made to use. The walls are papered, never painted, the papers being dark and of large pattern. The dining-room lathe living-room of the middle class fami­ lies. Such of the family as remain at home sit in that room during the fore­ noon and until after the noon meal. Were the color of the English house leaa somber and the furniture lea* cum­ brous; were the rooms more open and lens separated from each other, it would be tho center of Uiu most per­ fect external comfort known to the do­ mestic life of this world.

Smith of title After making a careful comparison between the courses of study in the Hastings high school and those of our own high school we find the compar­ ison so favorable to our schools that we feel impelled to say a few words, es­ pecially to those living within a few miles of Nashville and who think of sending their'children away to school. In the past five years Hastings has graduated seventy-five pupils. Two have taken the classical course, twelve the scientific and sixty-one the English. Now anyone who will take the trouble to make the comparison will find that the work done there in the English and scientific courses in no way surpasses the work of the 'Nashville school. Hence, only two graduates at Hastings in the past five years have bad a fuller course of study than our school is now giving its pupils and unlees students । desire a little Greek and more than two years of Latin we can see no sufficient reason for their going to Hastings if it is as convenient for them to come to Nashville. Tuition in the Hastings high school is $14 a year, while with us it is $13, and othfir expenses are cer­ tainly in our favor. Our schools have continued in a healthful growth during the pMt year. The attendance in the high school has been greater than ever before and we have all reasons to believe that the coming year will be equally as prosper­ ous m the last has been.

It was somewhat startling, and if the re­ porter bad net had a warning ns to what to expect he would probably have boon fiur- Mr. William Gee sells shoes mada from the .“.kin of human being*. Ho baa done it quietly for some time, and is dow making a pair of low shoes from the skin taken, according to bls own story, from the leg ot a woman. Of course Mr. Gee one* does not aoverusc advertise inc tbe fact that he lice makes shoes from human skin, but some of his patrons have been told that they could have some of these "extremely durable Hd lied ’ — a Chicago Tribune man, so he promptly repiled that he preferred the skin ot a white woman. Mr. Gee lock a parcel of yellow leatber from a cose and said.: “Here it is. It is the l.*t while woman’s I bare. It is pretty hard to gat it now." “Why!" asked the reporter as he felt of tho leather. "Well, it’s hard to get it tanned," re­ plied Mr. Gee. "Wo used to send it out as pig-skin, but before tanning it is too easily distinguished, and tanner* are super­ stitious. I can get the skins easier than I can get them tanned.” "How do you get th© sides!” "I know a mun who used to be a medical student aud be supplies them to me. He's a practicing physician now." A question us to who tbe medical man was seemed to make Mr. Gee suspicious and the matter was dropped for a moment while tho reporter’s foot was being measured. "What are tho peculiar advantages ol finmnn *kini" ventured the reporter after awhile. “It never wear* out,” replied Mr. Geo. “and it never cracks. It is the most dura­ ble of any leather. You can wear it for years. It stretches well, too, and is a most comfortable shoe." “Do you make manvi” "Na 1 haven't bad much to do lately. You see it isn't generally known, and then I find it hard to get the skins tanned now." "Where are they tanned!” Mr. Gee evaded the question. Several hours later the Tribune man called again and suggested that tbe skin was not human skin at oil, but that deceit had been attempted. On this call a young worian was working at a machine near the front of the store. Her material was ap­ parently from tho same pfeco of leather that th© reporter bad seen earlier in the day. "U any one wants to bet that this is not human skin," said Mr. Gee, "toil mo what the -amount is and I will put It up and fur­ nish tbe proof. 1 can prove it by the doctor who got it for me and by the tanners.” of either "unless there is something to be gained by it, you know.” “I would like to know, though,” said the reporter, “if that is surely from a human body.” The girl at the machine made some sort "She hates to wor'c on iu" .

Now, take Mrs. James P. Kernochon. She has 11.500,000 m money and real estate at a low estimate. All these estimates are low indeed. By tho some apportionment Mrs. Jdhn C. Green has at least <3,000.000, and Mrs. Mason Jones, so often called by queer old people "Lady Mary Mason Jones," she has fl,000.000 ot her own and is contest­ ing tbe Hammersley will besides. And so gossip goes on. Mrs. Josephine Ayer, tbo widow of tho doctor who made a fortune in patent medi­ cines, is said to have received from him about 15,000,000. Mrs. Martin Bates was left by her husband 11,800,000. which ha made in dry goods, and Mrs. James Brown, who lives in a fine house on Park avenue and Thirty-seventh street, received from her husband's estate about <4,000,000, which ho accumulated as a banker.

Look iu direct- if there la any one article in a fcuthtonable and underwear have their separate sachet pillows; dresses are hung among the bags of sweet clover that perfume every closet; even bonnet-boxes emit fragrant odors when uncovered, and in the linings of-many overcoats the wadding is dusted with orris, but not a trace of scent hangs about the sheer little square of laco-cdged mull. counterbalanced by faint sweet odors that linger about the folds and hem of drew skirts and the bows of ribbon jwndant from Jeweled garters. Even card-cases and small blotter bought with fashionable sta­ tionery. But those item* are insignificant compared with tho coat of perfuming a summer outfit which requires the services of a maid and an outlay equivalent to that expended for gloves or shoes. For instance, there is the corsage sachet made of fine satin to match the dress and filled with a perfume too delicious for de­ scription. The sacks, which arc an inch square, retail at nine dollars a dozen, and it takes about twenty to go round the edge of a Josephine dross. Of course every low corsage has to be sacheted, and if a belle cares to buy them by the hundred she is charged at tho rate of fifty cents each. An­ other perfumo trick is to pour scent over the hair just back of tho crimps or frixzes. Every woman rub* the stopper of her scent­ bottle across bcr lips and eyebrows before leaving the mirror, and the habit of dousing a feather or satin fan with wild rose or blue­ bells of Scotland is as old as vanity itself. Tho puffed sleeves of the hour are also used to sweeten a woman’s presence, the essence of chypre, magnolia or jasmine being poured among the gathers at the elbow where it is least liable to bo detected and most readily perceived. Desirable perfume* cost seven­ ty-five cents an ounce, and the least popular girl in society will dash twelve dollars* worth over a two weeks’ visit and half a dozen summer toilets. A BOSTON HEROINE. There Is an old lady living on Columbus avenue, writes the Boston correspondent of the Chicago Tribune, whoso particular weakness has always been a dread that alio would be robbed of her •u’rcr. She has a (mkqnuuatfnlubla oM f.mU,pl.w, of It d.U« book to r«,ol«lta»wr times, when such treasure was not so very verv plentiful among tho early colonists. For fear of burglars she always keeps it in her bed-room at night, a maid-servant assisting her each evening to lug It up in a big basket to tho third story front. One night last week the robbers so long expected came. The old lady, ever on the alert for such an event, heard them below. Bho wo* fright­ ened for her own safety, nobody else being in tho house at tho time but tbo maid-serv­ ant aforesaid, and yet her chief anxiety was lor tho silver. No pistol or other weapon was at hand, as she was afraid of fire-arms. She might howl from tho window for a po­ liceman ; but suppose none would be within hearing. The predatory ruffians might come up and take the plunder before help would come. The case was desperate and called for corresponding action, do sooner thought of than performed. Bho seized the big basket by the handle at ono end, and, having opened tho door softly, dragged the wicker receptacle with Its precious contents as noiselessly as pos­ sible along the entry to tho stair wall. She looked dowr. and distinctly saw, by a ray of moonlight that came through an entry win­ dow, two men, who presently disappeared, presumably into the dining-room. Without losing a moment sEft strove to get the basket on the top of a trunk which stood against the rail at the landing. By a great effort she succeeded, and another hoist bal­ anced it fairly on top of the rail A turn of tbo band and the entire maaa of knives and spoons, tea-urns napkin-rings, mugs, otc., was dumped out and precipitated two stories' distanej to the hardwood floor of the hall below. Tho crash was something appalling. Tbo robbers must have supposed that hades had broken loose. They were so frightened that they Jumped through a glass window from the dining-room to the garden and ran into the arms of a police­ man on t he next corner.

Advancing Aavaueiog to ma a table weviu weeping bitterly. near the light she drew a photograph from her bosom, regarded it wistfully for a moment and then, kissing it pas­ sionately. she tore*it into bits and dropped them into the waste basket. Tbe curtain noiselessly resumed its place and Danforth turned to his guide. •‘What done ft mean?” ho asked in a puzzled, noxious tone. •’You are blind.” was the reply. •‘She loves tbe man who. to-morrow is to become her sister's husband.” The revelation was *o sudden, sogn;thirty-six in bed. It erefore. that with his flood of hap pinews into hia hungry *°°l d by constant worry A* be looire*d around Hous position, he saw light streaming from a window a few feet above his head. He could see that tho curtain was raised several Inches; but he was too far below the lighted space to look into the room. The limb to Which he was dinging brushed against the build­ ing making a sharp gratingnoisc which evidently attracted the attention of the occupant of the room for the curtain; was immediately drawn down. Sud­ denly a dog began barking furiously in the yard below, and for the first time1 it flashed across Danforth’s mind that he bad been walking in his sleep, and had found his way into the great elm; tree opposite Gertrude Maybury's window. He could understand, now, how his sudden awakening had caused him to lose his balance and grasp for support the first thing that came within hUreachk But the limb was growing weaker at every vibration. He reached out his feet in every direction, but found noth­ ing capable of holding his weight Then he tried to gain the trunk ot the tree by passing hand over hand along the limb. His first effort, however, was the hair on the camel's back. With a crash that awoke the echoes, his sup­ port gave way and the unfortunate somnambulist fell to the ground. His last thought after the limb broke was of the humiliating position he would be in if he were discovered, then his head struck a lower branch with such force as to render him insensible. When Danforth again awoke to con­ sciousness. he found himself in bed. in a strange room. Feeling a stinging sensation in his forehead, he tried to raise his right hand to examine it, but his arm would not move. It was broken Succeeding better with his S “LOOK.” SHE left hand, he found his head tightly bandaged. ••Where am I and what is the maU ter?" he asked as a woman came to the bed. to adjust the covers. "You have been sick nearly three weeks," replied the nurse, “and you are at Mr. May bury’a But you must be quiet They wouldn’t have you excite yourself now for the world. Take a good nist, then you will be able to talk •Utile.” Thus enjoined he hold his peace and soon fell asleep^ From that on his im­ provement was rapid. Had he been a member of the family tho Maybury* could not have been more interested in his recovery. One morning he tried to explain to Mr. Maybury his pres­ ence in tho yard on tho night of tbe ac­ cident, but that gentleman, with a good naturod twinkle in his eye, re­ plied: “No need of an explanation. Dan­ forth. You explained all in your delirium. I didn't know you were a somnambulist. But you were in luck that time if you did oome very near breaking your neck. After you are married Gertrude will hare to tie a string to you nights to keep you in­ doors.” “Why do you say Gertrude?" asked Danforth, his pale face turning scarlet “Oh! that’s all arranged," returned the old gentleman, smiling and subbing his hands. “Bertha is glad to be re­ leased. You may have suspected that the wind had changed to another quarter. So our timely discovery of your love for Gertrude makes it possi­ ble for all of you to be happy.” “What!" interrupted the sick man. “does Gertrude love me after all?” “Indeed, she does.

Then be hasn’t forgot^ten!” she said, in a hissing whisper. 1“I suppose you know what it is; it’s about getting Mr. Reynolds to come here next winter. Oh, do keep him up to lit! ru do any thing in the world for you—that won’t get mo into trouble rith mamma or Alice—if you will!” “I wilt I’ll remind him again In my next letter—or when I seo him. I’ll say: ‘Don’t forget to Invite Mr. Reynolds iu the winter.’ Will that idoY” “Oh, yes, that will do beautifully! But it is a long time to wait,” sighed the girt | I thought she was much too young to bo in love, when sho was still in •hort frocks and wore her hair in a pig-tail; but I was obliged to help her, in return for the service I wanted her to do me. A “I have brought my letter,” said L mysteriously. “Shall" you be writing soon ?” I “I have a letter ready now, and 1 will nut yours inside and give it to a Eutleman who is here, and who Is go­ g back to London directly after tea, and I will ask him to post it at once.” “Oh, thank you!” said I: and trem­ blingly. with fear lest tho dreaded Alice should get hold of it, I put my letter into her hands, and soon after­ ward left tho house. » A fog had gathered thickly and I could hardly find my wav across the grounds. Hearing voices, 1 supposed it was some of theservants talking, and was just upon tho point of asking one of them to direct mo to die gate when a few words in a man's voice caused me to stop suddenly and listen. » It was tho voice of Tom Parkea He was protesting that one of the maid servants, to whom he wa* talking, was very cool in her manner. | “Yes, to such weathercocks a* you,” answered the girl, with rough coquetry. :“Why, you »re keeping company with that ugly Sarah at Mr. Rayner’s; and, now, she 1* ill, you want "to take up with me. Oix, a fine sweetheart you’d jmake!” I But she was not as obdurate as these words promised.

Presently I heard the sound of a kiss, and he promised to come and see her again on Wednesday; and then they went away; while I, seized by a sudden inspiration, found my way not to the park, but back to the house, which was less difficult. I asked for Miss Maud Reade again; ••d this time she rushed out of the drewing-room aud met me in the hall as soon as I was announced, and whis••They are all in there.

I heard the voloe of Tom Earkes in the Certainly I liked Laurence’s kisses; but the tone in which Mr. Rayner said tin* grated upon me, and brought the hot blood to my cheeks uncom­ fortably. He $aw the effect his word* bad upon mu, and he jumped up and light niy candle. "You look hurt, my child, but you have no reason forit Don’t you know that ail these things are the lawful right of pretty womtm?" "Then it is a rights good many of them are kept out of all their lives, Mr. Rayner,’’ said L smiling. "Only the silly ones,” he replied, in a tone that I did not understand. “Well. I will explain all that to you on our journey to Monaco.” He looked very much excited, and his blue eyes flashed and sparkled as he held mv hand. “Don’t be surprised at what I have said to you this evening. You have brought mo luck and you shall share It This journey shall take you to the arms of a lover who will give you all the things I spoke of and more—a thousand times more!” That was true, indeed, I thought to myself (but did ho mean what I meant?) a* I tore myself, laughing and blushing, away and ran up-stairs. Thero was more delight In tho fact that Lawrence preferred me to pny other woman in the world than in all the beautiful gowns and‘jewels that ever Pnnocss wore. And i went up to sleep that night with my hands under my pillow clasping his letter. Haidee left iny room next day for the first time and spent the afternoon by tho dining-room fire. Soon after din­ ner Mr. Rayner came in with his rid­ ing-boots on and asked with a smile if I Had not a letter to send to the post. He was going to ride to Bcaconsburgb, and, if I gave it to him, it would go a pose earlier than if I put it into the bag for the postman to fetch. “No, I have no letter, thank you, Mr. Rayner,” said L with a“blu»h. “Not a line fof—Nice, to tell—some one you are coming?” said he, archly. “No,” answered I, shaking my head. “You posted that one yesterday yourself, didn’t you. Miss Christie?6 whispered little Haidee, putting her arms round my neck. Mr. Rapier heard the whisper. “Yesterday?” asked bo, ouiokly. “ I—I gave a note to Miss Reade to put with Dera,” said L A curious change passed over Mr. Rayner. The smile remained on his face, which had, however, in one sec­ ond turned ashy white. He said: “All right, my dear/’ in his usual voice, ex­ cept that I fancied there was a sort of hard ring in. It, and left tho room. “Was it naughty of me to say?” said Haidee, feeling that something was wrong. , "Oh, no, darling!” I answered. L too, was afraid I had displeased Mr. Rayner by going to tho hall, with­ out saying any thing about it to any one, in what must seem a sly, under^ hand manner; and I wished Laurence had not enjoined mo to send my letter in that way. That evening, at tea-time, Mr. Ray­ ner announced that he had found a let­ ter waiting for him at the Bcaconsburgh post-office which obliged liim to go to Monaco a day sooner. So Haidee and I must be prepared to start ou Thursday morning. CHAPTER XXVL Tuesday afternoon there was a ring at tho door bell, and Jano came to mo saying there was a man in the hall who had asked for Sarah, and who, upon being told that both Sarah and Mra. Rayner were ill, had insisted upon see­ ing me. I went down to the hall and found a respectably looking man who asked if he could speak in private to -mo for a few minutes. I said he could, and opened the door of the school-room. He followed me in and shut It care­ fully. "I am the brother of Sarah Gooch, miss, whois a sen-an there.” Inodded aasenL “I’ve been abroad and worked my­ self into a good position, and now I want my sister to leave service. And I don’t want the other servants to know I’m her brother. It may be pride; but perhaps you’ll excuse it, miss. Would you mind sending for her without saying it’s her brother want* her?” How could I break the fact of her ill­ ness to the poor man? “Oh, please be prepared for bad news! I’m so sorrv!” said L gently. " She is ill—very ftl.” To my surprise, he looked more in­ credulous than unhappy. He said very suddenly: “Shewa* quite well last Friday after­ noon." “Yes—an accident happened to her Friday night. She fell down a flight of stairs and injured herself severely. If you will only wait until Mr. Rayner comes, he will speak to you. Sarah is a very old servant in this family, and much respected, and she has everj-pos­ sible care, I assure you.” But he still seemed more curious than anxious about her, I thought “She has been -in the family a long time, then? Excuse me, miss, but I’ve been away so long that she is almost Like a stranger to me, and I had great difficulty in finding her out But I'm very glad to hear she is thought so well of.

But the name did not seem new to him, ns it did to nie. "Yes, sir; I’ve been sent. aftes a woman named Sarah Gooch, from in­ formation received that she was in your service. Mr. Gervas Rayner, 1 Believe, rirF’ Why did he not own he wa* her brother? I toought to myself. " Yes, that is my name. But. what on earth do you want with my servant Sarah Gooch?” Tho mat glanced at me. Mr. Ray­ ner said: "Goon. Never mind this lady; she is as much interested in the woman a* I am. What do you want with my old servant Sarah?” “ Suspected of complicity in tho Den­ ham Court robbery, air—some of the property traced to her.” I started violently. This man, then, was not Sarah’s brother at all, but a detective who had been trying to ex­ tract information from foe by a trick! Mr. Rayner stared full in his face for a few moments, as if unable to find words; then he exclaimed, in a low voice: “Impossible!” “ Sorry to shake your trust in an old servant, »ir; but proof is proof” " But what proof have you?” asked Mr. Rayner, earnestly. “Last Friday afternoon, between half-past four and twenty minutes to five, your servant Sarah Gooch was seen to give the contents of a black bag to a man in Bcaconsbuig. The fact excited no suspicion. The man took the next train to London, travel­ ing second-class. But south of Col­ chester he was seized with a fit; he was taken out at the next station, the bag he bad with him examined for his ad­ dress, jewels found in it, and the police st Scotland Yard communicated with. Tho man escaped; but, on inquiries be­ ing made, witnesses were found to prove conclusively that toe biscuiUttn which contained the jewel* had been handed to him in a street in Beaconsbuig, on Friday afternoon, between half-nast four and twenty minutes to five, by a woman who was identified a* Sarah Gooch.” I remembered seeing Sarah pass through the plantation on Friday after­ noon, on her wav to Beaconsfield, with the black bag. But I was too horrorstricken to speak, even if I had not been, now that tho blow had fallen, as anxious to screen her as Mr. Rayner himself was to prove her innocent Mr. Rayner still protested that he could not believe in Sarah's guilt The detective said that a* the jewels had been traced to her the next thing was to see and question her. Mr. Ray­ ner told him he could see and judge for himself whether she was in a condition to answer questions. He asked me to accompany him to tho room and we went up together. Sarah lay moaning and muttering, feebly. A glance was sufficient to show the detective that her illness was no sham, but he remained for some time listening to her mutter­ ings. “You see,” Mr. Rayner said, as they left tho room, “sho is quite unable to speak for herself at present You snail remain hero all night and when the doctor comas in the morning- ho may be able to tell you when she will be able to talk.” ’ A room was ordered prepared for the detective and Mr. Raynor treated him with much courtesy. Jane being ab­ sent the work of putting the room in order fell upon the cook, at which sho grumbled very much. Mr. Rayner en­ tered while she was complaining aud “I am •tfraid I have entailed a good deal of trouble upon you, cook, by thoughtlessly giving Jano permission to spend tho night at tho farm if tho fog grew thick; so I havo just asked Mra. Saunders to take h*r up-stairs duties till Jane comes back, in return for which ydu will be kind enough to watch by'Sarah during her unavoid­ able absences. ” This silenced tho cook at once. It, wu* a just punishment for her grumb­ ling, for there was no duty sho would not rather have undertaken than that of watching by the unconscious Sarah, even in her quiet moments. Sho said to me afterward that the nuroe was very good; directly Sarah began to talk or grow excited, Mrs. Saunders always managed to hear, and camo In to relieve her from the unpleasant task of listening to the sick woman’s rav­ ings. When tea-flmo ermo Mr. Rayner en­ tered with the detective, whom he now addressed as “Mr. Maynard,” and treated as a distinguished guest. Mr. Maynard went to his room early, and when Mrs. Rayner bad gone to liers 1 remained in the drawing-room putting tho-ciusfc in order, as Mr. Rayner had told mo to do. “This day's events havo upset me more than vou can imagine, child,” said be, passing his hand through his hair, wearily. “That vixen Sarah ha* always seemed honest, and yet I,don’t know what to believe.” “And you know tho portmanteau I found in the cellar,” I whispered, tim­ idly. f “Good Heaven, I had forgotten that! Or rather 1 had dismissed it from my mind a* a fancy brought about by the excitement of Sarah's accident, and hastily connected in your mind with your view of poor old Tom Parkes car­ rying a box across the lawn. Where are the store-room keys, child?” asked he, excitedly. “We must go at once to the cellar, and— Heaven help us if what I took for yourfancy should prove to be the truth!” Much against my will I took the keys and accompanied' Mr. Rayner to the left wing. I put my finger through the little ring and raised the trap door, all the while trembling with fright and excitement Mr. Barner went down while I held the candle for him. Soon be spoke and said in a tone of great ro- Minly. He came up and took the candle from me, while I descended. The water, I knew by the number of step* which were dry above it, was at the B&mo level as before. 1 looked through the ladder and round it- Table and portmanteau hod utterly disappeared. As I looked up suddenly, Mr. Raynor's face, distorted by the weird light thrown on it by the flickering candle, seemed to me to wear a mocking smilo which made tho handsome features hideous and alarming. "Let me come up,” said L sharply. He held out his band, and when L trembling and tottering, reached the top of the ladder ho flung his arms round me to support me. But I .was so sick with the horror of finding my story—my true story—disproved, and with tho fancy I had bad ou looking up at Mr. Rayner’s face, that I slid from his arm, ran out of tho store­ room, along the passage and through tho swing-door, and leaned against the hall door to recover myself. Mr. Ray­ ner was at my side in a few minutes, and, almost unconsciously I let him lead mo back into the drawing-room. Ho brought mo some brandy and water and made mo drink it, and bathed my forehead, and told mo gently not to be frightened. " But I did see the portmanteau,” said I, piteously. “ Yes, dear child, I know” said Mr. Rayner, but 1 saw he did not believe me. He then spoko again of Sarah, say­ ing the detective would bo ^xiund to trump up some story to show his superiors that ho had accomplished something, and ho supposed ho would leave Sarah without a shred of charac­ ter. " But do you know, Mr. Rayner, I don’t think Sarah has always been as nice a woman as you suppose,” said L timidlv. “ From what I havo heard her say, I think, when sho was young, she must havo had had some horrid •friends who mado her do <all sort* of wrong things; and that is why I can not be as much surprised as you are at her doing wicked things now.” "Did you tell Mr. Maynard that?” " No, I only answered his questions. He said ho was her brother—and, of course, I did not want to make him doubt his own sister. But, Mr. Ray­ ner, I want to ask you something. Have you over heard of a James Woodfail?” • He was’sltting by me on the sofa, with bis bead turned away. He did not answer my question at once. Then he said, very quietly.“ Did Mr. Maynard ask you that?” " Oh, do! I heard Sarah say the name when she was delirious—the first night-vFriday night,” I whispered. “ Oh! was he a friend of Sarah’s?” " Oh, yes! I think she must havo been in love with him when she was young, and ho must have been a very bad man who mado her do any thing lie liked, and the most curious part of it is that she—sho mixes his name up with the people she knows now,” said L lowering my voice still more. “How?” asked Mr. Rayner. “Whoee name does she mix his up with?” “Why, with—with mine, Mr. Ray­ ner!” said I, blushing uncomfortably at tho very thought "Sho kept say­ ing in her ravings that this wicked forger—for sho said he was a forger— James Woodfall, was in love with mo and wanted to marry me, and that ho wanted her to help to marry this com­ mon thief to me. Wasn’t it dreadful to have to listen to that?” whispered L excitedly. “Did she say James Woodfall was a common thief?” “No, I gathered that from what she •aid. Did you ever hear of him, Mr. Rayner?” r" — '“Yes, I have heard of him, and I believe he is alive now,” said he. “Then I believe that sho is in love with him still, and that he is at the bottom of this dreadful robberyl” cried L much excited. “Oh, Mr. Ray­ ner, couldn't you find out from Sarah where he is now, while the detective is here, and get aim caught?" I said, breathlessly. Mr. Rayner shook his head thought* fully. "I am afraid not, my dear child. If James Woodfall is the man I mean, he will never be taken alive,” said he. and on tbe third that of Abbie Morrow. An old resident of the locality said of tbe fam­ ily: “I knew tho Morrow* well. William and David wore brother*. End Abbie, their sinter, kept bouse for them. They were saparill* i» »Uil the and no wonder, for nhe died of a broken heart." Tho Morrow* lived near Belfast, Ireland, do a farm they caUSd “Tne Knock.” They were in comfortabl^ circumstance*, bad been well educated, and were Presbyterian* In faith. Near by thorn In Ireland lived th* father of the late A. T. Stewart The two families were intimate and the children grew up together. Young A. T. Stewart find Abbie Morrow were childtab lover*, although Stewart wm several year* her When a lad Stewart, aa t* well known, left Ireland and made hi* way to New York to better his fortune. He corresponded regularly with his little sweetheart aero** the waters, and It was understood that behind. Year* rolled by and death came. hr*t it took away Abbie's father, and * few month* later the mother, unable to bear *cr grtef, followed her husband. The cbilArcn retained the farm and prospered falry. Stewart** father wa* dead and hl* old mother lived on ber little place and strained aer eye* hopefully toward America. Final­ ly she died and Stewart went to Ireland to MJttlo the estate. While there he renewed h!s engasement with Abbie Morrow and «po^e so well of the United Slates that William aud David Morrow were Induced to sell their farm, ind, with Abbie, camo with their former friend to New York. Stewart rralupd about WOO from hl* mother'* estate, wh!cb-he inre»ted in Irish linen* and lace*. These ho ted shipped to New York, and they formed the foundation of the great establishment lhat afterward bore his name. The Morrows had friends tn Northern Ohio and so they came to Cleveland. They purchased a farm in East Cleveland Iowaihip, built a oom fortab lo boose, and were toon known a* substantial citizens. Thta was nearly sixty years ago. They seldom visited the village of Cleveland unless It was to purchase supplies or dispose ot produce. A few months after they came to Ohio A I. Stewart paid them a visit. He wm cor­ dially welcomed a* tbe fiancee of the stater, remained a few day* and returned to New York. That wm tbe tast Abbie Morrow ever s*w of him. He wm doing well in New York and wa* rapidly making a fort­ une. HI* letter* became brief and les* frequent, and finally ceased altogether. Finally the news ot hta marriage reached the brother*. They kept It from their sister m long m they could, but were at tast com­ pelled to tell her of her lover's inconstancy. Bho wm too high-spirited to peddle her grief among ber acquaintances and kept about her household duties in a quiet man­ ner for thirty year*. Then they laid her away on a hillock In the center of tho farm. Afterward her remain* were taken up and interred here. Every year during her life Stewart sent her • silk dross, but sho never wore any of them. As fast os sho received them they were laid away untouched, and when she died the brothers returned them al! to the donor. Bhe received many offers of marriage, but never again pul her trust superior to the terrible fear excited by th* appearance of a mud dog, says the Pitts­ burgh Dispatch. A doctor whoso name is one of the best known in Pittsburgh told me the other day of an experience that he had a good many year* ago. “There had been many reports of mad dogs in the village in which I then lived, and there was a certainty that at least one of tho report* was true. It wa* blazing hot weather, x Late one night, or rather early one morning, I was called by a bare­ footed boy to hurry a* fast as possible to the bedside of his brother, who lay sick with typhoid fever in a sort of shanty cot­ tage on tho river bank a couple of miles away. “I got on my hors* and rode rapidly over tho quiet road. There was a Little moon­ light. The sky was cloudy and tho moon would be covered and disclosed again every minute.

This is true of all classes of stock and also of poultry. It is better to feed hay alone than to allow a sur­ feit of grain, especially iu summer. A variety of food promotes digestion and pre­ vents disease. It is also more economical to give a variety, as less food is then re­ quired. As a general rule the natural life of animals is about five times as long as the period required to attain maturity. This rule may be modified by artificial condi­ tions. Thus certain breeds of cattle, sheep and swine have been brought by careful systems of breeding and feeding to mature at a much earlier age than *hc original period, without materially shortening tbe length of life.

The War Department officials have been recently giving their attention to the causes which depopulate the army. From late statistics it is shown tbat the evil I* largely on tho Increase. During tho six months ending June 30. 1889. the records show an increase of 135 over the number reported for the corresponding period of last year. For the laat six months of the pres­ ent year there were 1.4S7 desertions, about 1.209 for tho same period of 1888. Fully seven-eighths ot the desertions took place during the first year of enlistment. Tbe importance of these figure* is appre­ ciated by General Schofield and Adjutant General Kelton, and some plan of action which will look toward the modification of the existing articles of war will re­ ceive their earnest advocacy and be presented to Congress. Quite a num­ ber of officers believe that one of the best ways to break up desertion In the army would be to put a stop to the soldiers doing so much extra work. When a man enters toe army be expects to become a soldier. When he finds that. In addition to his duty of a soldier, he ha* to do all the work around the garrison and officers' quarters, the soldier feeling die* out and he deserts al the first opportunity, generally in the first yew ot his enlistment.

As he was falling the Deputy Marshal shot again, but missed him, tho bullet going through tbe floor. Both shots were fired in very quick succession. Tho Judge never uttered a sound after being shot. Judge Terry had hardly fallen when Mrs. Terry rushed to the side of his body and threw herself upon it. Then ensued * scene of wildest ex­ citement. People rushed from the din­ ing-room and others rushed in. During this time Justice Field and Deputy Mar­ shal Nagle retreated to the sleeping-car. where they were seen rely locked within, while Mrs. Terry called upon the citizens to arrest them. Before tbe train pulled out Constable Walker entered the sleeper, and was car­ ried sway on board the train.

Dunham of murderer Gosch. who has been bunted by every officer in this section of the state, since the 13th inst. His capture was effected with daring and ingenuity on the part of both of his captors. During the afternoon a farmer came into town and informed Mr. Osmnn that a man answering the description of Gosch had been seen in the vicinity of Baltimore. Mr. Osmun i mmediately hired a livery rig and se­ curing ths services of Rollo Dunham, started for their man. He was found in Baltimore township, sitting by the road. The officers acted as though they were drunk and drove up to Gosch, disputing as to which should have the flrat drink from the bottle. They asked Gosch to decide for them and then get in and ride. Thia he did; Mr. Oamun then got Gesek’s revolver from the aide pocket of his coat, and asked him if his name was not Gosch, to which question be replied in the af­ firmative. Mr. Osmnn then told him that be was the man they wanted. Goeeh resisted but too late, as they had the handcuffs on him. On being taken to the jail at Hastings he was a pitiable object, completely cowed and exhaust­ ed. He said he had had nothing to eat for three days, and food was given him, which he ravenously devoured. After he bad rested, he talked freely, and said that he would tell of the affair just as it was. He said: “I am 43years old; have a wife and six children.” At mention of his family be bant into tern. ••About 1 o’clock To«d.j bight I heard a pounding on my door.

I dressed as quick as I could. My wife and children were crying and my wife u clocked the door and pushed it open. Then 1 saw two officers one on each side of the door with guns jiointed at cross-fire. My wife told the dog to aiek them, then they fired into the house and my wife screamed murder. Since four weeks ago last Tuesday the Nashville team has been aching for an opportunity to prove to Lake O dessa that the game the latter club won here on that day waa not a fair sample of the ball playing usually done by our nine. The opportunity pre­ sented itself last Saturday and the boys took advantage of it in a way which made the Lake Odessa nine livid. At half past two the two nines went into the field, with Lake Odessa at the bat. Hough had not got thor­ oughly warmed up yet, and they man­ aged to touch him up for three runs in t he first This ended their runs, how­ ever, for during the remainder of the game but one Odessa man reached first base, and be waa unable to score, owing to the inability of the batters to find Hough’s snake curves, and the good fielding done by the Nashville players. Nashville then took their turn at the bat and secured four runs. Goose egg after goose egg followed for the Lake Odessa nine, while Nashville was slugging the ball repeatedly and making every hit count The Nash­ ville nine baM a reputation for getting three bases on a two-base hit and they kept their reputation unmarred Sat­ urday. The second inning for Naahv i 11 e was a foot race between the man at bat and the preceding one. They chased each other over the base line like one marble after another in “pigs in clover,” and when, worn with their exertion and satisfied with the result of one inning’s work, they finally took their places in the field, they had the satisfaction of knowing that ten scores more had been piled up to their credit.

Sunfield was first allowed the privilege of feeling for the deceptive sphere, and after much work succeeded in pulling in one lonesome little score. The Nashville lightweight giants then tried their powers with the bat. Being determined to play this “crack” n ine as good a game aa possible" theygrasped the stick with a grip of muscle and determination and each and every man in the nine had the p leasure of being at bat twice in one inning. With the strength born of desperation they slugged the ball square on the trademark every time, lining it way out beyond the fielders and taking as nssny bases as their con­ science and close proximity of the ball would allow. Weary and footsore they were finally retired, but not until they had breathlessly repeated the word “score” fifteen times. After this the game was all their own way, Sunfield at no time having any chance of win­ ning the game. * 1 2 3 4 5 Sunfield............................... 1 0 7 0 5-18 Nashville...........................15 .8 2 6 •-33 No particular play can be remarked upon as the finest one, for the reason that the mention of one would necasitate the mention of a score or more of equally good plays made by other players. The Sunfield nine changed pitchers at the end of every inning, but were unable to find any man in the nine who could fool the Nashville sluggers, while the little straight ball thrown by Kid Hough was so deceptive and wary that they were compelled repeatedly to listen to the voice of the umpire sing­ ing, "Three strikes and out.” SHORT INTERVIEW8 WITH JUDGE Thursday evening.

On Monday last a destructive fire occured at the home of Gee. Franck, five miles north of town, undoubtedly caused by a spark from the threshing engine which bad been at work all morning. The force bad gone to din­ ner and Mr. Franck went out to draw another load of wheat. After drawing the load he looked toward the engine aud stack to see that everything was ail right and was unable to discover anything amiss, but in a very few min­ utes the remaining wheat stack, con­ taining about ninety bushels of wheat was discovered to be in flames and be­ fore help could reach the spot the fire had progressed so far that it was im­ possible to check it, the flames extend­ ing to the barn standing near and consuming barn and contents. Besides a number of other thing there was fifteen tons of hay in the barn. The only solution to the origin of the flames is that a spark must have dropped from the fire box while the engineer was preparing the fire before going to dinner and slowly crept to the stack, aa when the fire was first discovered a small line of fire running from the engine to the stack was ob­ served.

At the meeting of the directors and stock­ holders of the Farmers A. Merchants’ bank, Thursday it was finally decided to make the change. A few necessary preliminaries will have to be gone through with which will probably oc­ cupy three or four weeks. The ad­ ditional $15,000 has been secured and arrangements will be made as soon as possible. E.

Several of tho most valuable were sent to President Van Bure-i in 1839 by the Maum of Muscat, a country of Asia, as a testimo­ nial in recognition of some service to that country by the United States: just what it was nobody appeara to know. They were i sent as a personal gift to tho President, bu{ he could not accept them by reason of the clause in tbe constitution which forbids any person connected with the Government receiving any present or decoration from any foreign power or potent­ ate. To return them would have been an Insult to tbe royal giver, and what to do with them was a question that puzzled tho presidential mind. They were finally turned over to tho treasury, and there they remain unto this day. The entire collection has ac­ cumulated tn a similar way. Other pres­ ents were sent to Government officials by kings and princes who had not rend tire constitution o! the United States, and noth­ ing oould be done with them but to stow them away in the vault They do not have any definite ownership and hold about tho same relation to the government that un­ claimed packages do to an express company. The treasury people haye lot\g been in a quandary what disposal to make of them. Two or three times in years post tbe atten­ tion of-congrcss has been culled to tho mat­ ter, but no action has been taken, as none of the statesmen seemed to know what to do in the premises.

As soon as she win given her freedom she worked hard and saved her earnings to enable her to pursue her search.

"There is something curious about (he American silver dollar and half­ dollar of 1804," said a numismatist. •There were about 90,000 of the dollar* coined, but not one of them ever got into circulation. Two of them are in well-known coin collections to-day, however, and they are the most valua­ ble of all American coins. Why the dollar of 1804 was never seen in circu­ lation after leaving the mint is one* of the unsolved government mysteries. It Is asserted as good authority that the two 1804 dollars now in existence, while having been made from the original die, were in reality not coined for many years after that year, when they were surreptitiously struck, and, it Is supposed, issued to a person in high authority, from which they sub­ sequently passed into the collections referred to. Tbe half-dollar of 1804 is surrounded by a mystery equally profound. There were over 150,000 of these coined, but not one was ever known be in circulaion. On the other hand, but 7,000 quarter dollars were coined in that year, and specimen of these are In every collection and nu­ mismatist’s shop.—Philadelphia Press. Bl'CKLEN’a XRS1CA BALVI.

Arrangements will be made, tar all thoae wishing to attend the state fair, beginning September 9th, to go from our depot, at that time, without a change of coach. There has been considerable fault found with the company for not running regular trains on tbe road for some tyne past, but after lookinginto the matter thoroughly we do not believe our people would ask them to loae^SSO.OO a day, in work caused by their bands lying still while they were carrying a few passengers to and from Hastings. We think the company have done all in their sower to push the road, and now the Ime is close at hand when we shall derive full benefit from it. . At last the farm ere’ picnic has ended and from reports recieved we hardly know whether tbe farmers were' tbe ones that had the picnic or whether it was a picnic for tbo numerous gam­ blers, confidence men, thieves and thugs that congregated there to steal tbe hard earnings of those who gener­ ally attend such places, yet there are a certain class who hold up their hands in horror because they suspect that certain drug stores once in a while sell a little whiskey, and in their righteous indignation they will forever banish such places of business, aa too vile to be patronized, but let them get a chance to go to a plaice where they know that whiskey aud beer will flow moreplenty than water, and that all tlie gambling devices known to man, will be found, and then they will hitch up their team and go. It Is such a pleasant resort, you know, and the people are so refined, is it any reason why some towns will flourish and others do not! It seems to us that tbe only way to make a village flourish is to permit those things that we have mentioned, to come and be wetcom**, and then when they have a picnic or something else advertised, they will draw largely from the moral men and women of their vicinity.

Bat I did not know 2trite all until your own sweet naive jtter opened my stupid eyes.” “Oh, Laurence, Laurence, what dreadful things are you saying?” I cried, shaking with fear, even in his arms. “Never mind, my own darling; you are safe now," said he, very gently. “But, Laurence, my mother is going with us. Didn’t I tell you that? I had a letter from her—” “Which she never wrote. On my way back to London, I telegraphed to your mother to meet me at the Charing Cross station, and there she told me she had never seen- Mr. Rayner and never heard a word of the journey to Monaco.” This blow was too much for me; I fainted in his arms. When I recovered, I found that he had carried me some distance; and as soon as I began to sigh, he put me down and gave tne some brandy and water oat ofnis flask. As soon as I'was able we walked slowly down the laue to the high road. “But what shall I do, Laurenoe?” I asked, tremblingly. “Shall I tell Mr. Rayner you have come back and don’t want mo to leave England?” “Not for the world, my darling," said he, quickly. “Nobody in Geldham—not even at the Hall—knows I liavc come back. The boy I sent for Ton ” you rlrvo does not not Irnnw know mn me." “But what is all this mystery about, Laurence? Why don’t you go to the Hall, and see your father?" “Ah. that'Is a secret! You won't mind waiting till to-morrow to know that, will you, darling?” “Oh. yes. I shall! I want toknow now,” said I. coaxingly. “Won’t you trust me with your secret?"’ He did not want to do so; bat I was curious, and hurt at his refusal, and, when he saw the tears come into my eyes, he gave way. . He had been so impressed by the postscript to my letter-telling of. a sus­ picious lookingperson who was hanging about the hall, and promising to visit it again Wednesday night, that he had telgraphed the Metropolitan police for a torec of constables t§ lie In wait abput the hall that night He was to attend to stationing them himself. I had also mentioned Sarah's ravings about James Woodfall, and one of the constables was a man who knew James Wood­ fall, and was certain be could identify him. This Woodfall had been a clever forger but had been lost sight of for four years. There was nnly a chance that ho might be concerned in this af­ fair, but it was worth taking. "So now, my darling, Laurence added, "you know every thing, and you must keep my secrets, every one, like grim death. As for your journey, don't be alarmed. I shall be in the •am* train with you; and your mother wiM really meet you at Liverpool street station, for I have told her to do ao.” Laurence insisted on seeing me home. We had crept along the high road anti! we were close to the cottage nearest to the Alders, when we heard the sounds of hoofs and wheels, and men’s voice* halloing through the fog. Laurence opened the gate of tbe cottage garden and led me inside till they should have passed. It was tbe dog-cart, with Mr. Rayner on foot, leading the horse, and Maynazd still in it. ‘*Lueky y«i are going to stay the night!” &Ir. Rayner was saying. "1 wouldn’t undertake to find my way to W* followed tbe dog-cart at a sale distance, which waa not very far off in the fog, until it stopped at the stable gate. Then we slipped past quite unnaen on the other aide of the road, white Mr. Rayner wa* busy opening the gate; and at the front gate Laurence left me, and I groped my way down the drive as fast as I could, and got in some min­ ute* before Mr. Rayner and his com­ panion. And a* I could rely upon the silence of Mrs. Rayner and the cook, I said nothing to anybody else about my excursion. After dinner Mr. Rayner asked the detective if he liked violin music, to which he replied that he did not care for it ranch, it being rather a scratchy sort of an instrument. “Give me tbe concertina.” aaid Mr. Maynard, geni­ ally. “Then I won’t a*k you to listen to my music," said Mr. Rayner. “I’m oaiy a fiddler.

Never mind; you shall make amends for it by and by. Now will you go and help Mrs. Rayner to entertain our lynx-oyed friend? You shall come baak and fetch me at nine o'clock. Bun along now, my dear." He gave me a gentle little tap of dis­ missal, and, rather crestfallen, Ireturned to the dining-room. But neither my entertaining powers nor Mrs. Ray­ ners were called into play; for Mr. 'Maynard was already rather drowsy, ana after sleepily muttering “Bravo— very good!" as the last sounds of Schu­ bert'* “Adieu" died away on Mr. Ray­ ner’s violin, I heard the regular breath­ ing of a sleeping penion from the arm­ chair where he wm sitting. But I waa paying little attention to him. The door being shut I had gone doser and closer to it, u if drawn by an irresist­ ible fascination, as Mr. Rayner seemed to play tbe “Adieu" as he had never played It before. Every note seemed to vibrate in my own heart. When the last notes of the “Adieu" had died away. I listened for the next melody eagerly, and was struck with a chilly scuse of disappointment as an air from “Rigoletto" followed. It was not that I did not care for that opera, but a certain hardness of touch, which struck mo at once as be­ ing unlike the rich full tones Mr. Ray­ ner generally drew 1 rom his loved vio­ lin, grated upon my ear and puzzled me. My glance stole to Mrs. Rayner; and I could soe that she also was struck by the curious change of style in her husband’s playing. It was as brilliant as ever; the execution of one of the dif­ ficult passages in the arrangement of ••Martha” was clever, more perfect than usual; but the soul was not there, and no brilliancy of shake or cadenza could repay one for tho loss. It did not sound like the playing of tho same man, and my intere*» in tho music gradually died away; and, after watch­ ing Mra. Rayner curiously for some minutes and noting the intentness with which, sitting upnght in her chair, she was listening to tho violin, and at the same time keeping her eye* fixed upon tho slumbering Maynard, 1 gave myself up to my own agitated thoughts. What was going on at the hall now? Would the constables catch Tom Parkes, and would Gordon prove to be mixed up in it? I hoped they would capture the unknown James Woodfall, who must be a desperate criminal from tho eager­ ness with which the police had snatch­ ed at tho possibility of capturing him. Poor Tom Parkes was probably only a tool in tho hands of this monster. And then I fell to thinking sadly of2he de­ ception Mr. Rayner had practiced on me, and Mrs. Rayner’s warning came to my mind. But it still seemed as though there must be some explanation which would exonerate Mr. Rayner from intentional wrong doing. One does not quickly lose confidence in a friend who had been so kind a* he had been to me. But when I realized the nature and strength of the evidence against him my tears fell fast. Sud­ denly the silence in the house was broken by a howl from Nap, Mr. Ray­ ner’s retriever, who was chained to his kennel outside. tical authority. Germany. Belgium .... Netherlands. Spain..........

Now ©Or viau must soon end: our last excursion with onr friends was to be our best, they said, and so we found ourselves, as I said before, on the road to Gettysburg. The day for oar journey was all that the 'most exacting of mortals could have desired. One of those fresh, delightful days when tho enrapt­ ured earth still thrills with the warm kisses of summer's blooming lips. The sky, serenely blue, was reflected in the waters of a shining, gayly wandering little stream that bean/the pretty In­ dian name of Conewsgo. Leaving the miniature river, the journey was in aud ont of dim and quiet woods and along wide roadways. Driv­ ing over that still and fieocefnl country, we eoulij scarcely realize that its tranquil beauty had ever been marred by the footsteps of tbe invader. Nt-vertht iess.liking this very “pike" had marched Lee’s mighty army that sunny summer day in 1863. Before long the rugged peak of celebrated Round Top loomed up in the purple distance, and my eyes for the first time reste*l ujmjq one of the most renowned battle-fields of onr country, if not of the world. We entered Gettysburg by its pret­ tiest street and found the little town filled with visitorn. The “National Guard” of Pennsylvania were en­ camped upon the battle-field, and everywhere one saw blue coats and heard martial music; the long lines of tents, white and glistening in the sum­ mer sun, aud—the crowning event of tbe day—the review of the troojm by General Sheridan, all combined to give an exceedingly fnilitary asjiect to the whole affair. It seemed peculiarly fitting that even in times of peace there should be these suggestions of war upon this sjiot whose very name has bectMne the synonvm for desperate aud bloody fighting. We walked from place to place; we read the inscriptions so carefully and fully made upon the various monuments and tablets; we listened to the explana­ tions of our patient guide; we endeav­ ored to recall all that we ever had read or heard of tbe tattle, end tried to pic­ ture thufr far different scene, when during those dreadful first three days of July. 1863, death and destruction held high carnival. But, as I said be­ fore, it was difficult to bring before the mind a realization of the fact, and es­ pecially ao for those of us whose whole life lies between those sad days and these. Perhaps, too, we had our minds too much upon the present. At all events, when in the evening we bode adieu to Gettysburg, it was with the guiltvcon^,^0™ of having obtained but a mesxzer knowledge of tta detail* of the great tattle, although with full information of the encampment then in pro­ green, and happy in taxing seen our hero, General Sheridan, now, alas! ity. Thus I had opportunities for visits as frequent as my interest in the place prompted. I received much informa­ tion, too, from persons whom I met— who hod been eye-witnesses of the bat­ tle, and to the’ recital of whose “expcrienceB" 1 w-as ever an euthuriastic and fascinated listener. Of the great imjiortance of the bat­ tle of Gettysburg every intelligent schooltxiy and schoolgirl in America knows. 'Like Waterloo and Marathon, and “Flodden’s fatal field,” it has taken its place in history. The obscure coun­ try town has grown into world-wide re­ nown. Every summer it is visited by tliouaands of tourists. It is the Mecca toward which veterans of the war love to direct their footsteps. Here they come to relive in memory the far dif­ ferent scenes of the past. The men who wore tho blue and, they who wore the gray meet here again, in love and good fellowship, loyal sons of a re­ united country. And where could be found a more fitting spot for such a re­ union? In one particular Gettysburg differs from all other battlefields—in the num­ ber of monuments and commemorative tablets that the survivors have erected to tho memory of the gallant dead. Thus the study of the Union positions is made comparatively easy. Although Gettysburg, now of his­ toric fame, would never have been known to the world at large had it not been for the deadly encounter of two preat armies that took place there, yet it wields a certain quiet though none the leiq* effective influence, for it is the seat of Pennsylvania College, founded by Thoddeus Stevens, as well as of a theological seminary of the Lutheran Church. These are flourish­ ing institutions, and they hove left their impress upon the town, as may .be seen in the refine*! arid cultured people one meets among its citizens. The battlefield of Gettysburg is a comprehensive term embracing the town and adjoining country for several miles around. Indeed, the great area of the field is, to a stranger, one of its most astonishing features. The face of the country is. for the most part, roll­ ing. although hills and ridges of mod­ erat? height abound. These ridges run nonk ;.ud south. The most west­ ern of these is called Seminary Ridge. Running parallel to this, and about three-quarters of a mile to the east, is Cemeterv Ridge, at the north foot of which lies tbe town of Gettysburg. At the southern extremity of Cemetery Ridge is Roafid Top. an' abrupt peak about two hundred feet high. In front of this lies a gorge bearing the signifi­ cant appellation of Devfl’s Deo, which, consists of immense bowlders piled up into all sorts of fantastic shapes and crowded into a narrow ravine; it was a favorite and most effective lurkingplace for the Confederate sharpshooters. A curve of Cemetery Ridge, where it turns to the north and east, is called Culp’s Hill. Here there was tre­ mendous fighting. This* hill was thickly wooded, and hundreds nf trees were killed by the storm of shot and and shell. Many that survive to this day l>ear marks of battle. All these points, os well as the historic peuchorchard and Spangler’s Spring, in whose cooling water friend and foe alike slaked his thirst, the tourist, even if he has but a day at his com- But the great central point of in­ terest is the Soldiers’ National Ceme­ tery, one of tho eighty two consecrated spots where repos*! the nation’s dead. In the number,of its interments this cemetery ranks among the smallest, having about 4,000; the dead c! each State and of the regular army are buried in separate lots, arranged in rows in a semicircle. Upon the lowgranite headstone that marks each grave are placed tbe name and rank of the occupant, when known. The beautifully kept grounds con­ tain seventeen acres: thev are inclosed by a handsome, well-built wall, sur­ rounded on the inaide by a row of evergreen trees, tall and stately. There are tracks for vehicles and walks for pedestrians; seats are scattered hero and there, so that the sight-seer may rest and muse at will. The first thing that meets the eye as one enters tbe cemetery is a bronze statue at General Reynolds. The hand­ some, rtwolute face is turned toward that part of the field to which the Confederates were advancing, when a bullet from tta gun of a sharpshooter suddenly ended the career of tine of Pen nnyl vania’s bravestand truest sons. The right hand, tanging carelessly at his side, holds a field glass; the left grasps the hilt of his sword. Passing on, one comes to the most conspicuous object in the cemetery, and one that is in many respects the most interesting—the National Monument. This occupies tne center of the ceme­ tery and marks the spot ujxiii which President Lincoln stood at its conse­ cration, Nov. 19. 1863, when he mode his immortal “Gettysburg speech.” This monument of white granite is a most , beautiful specimen of the sculptor’s art.

Not indeed in the ranks, amid fire and smoke, were they performed, but after the battle, among the dead and dying. And it is heroism of no mean kind that enables a woman whose practical knowledge of surgery ex tends no further, perhaps, I than the bidding up of a cut finger, to face the sickening sights of an army hospital after a great battle. But here, as elsewhere during tho war, were found tender and noble hearts who did not shrink from the dreadful task, but patiently worked on as long as strength held ont, their only cam.-A.hat' the wounded might bo restored, or, if that might not be, that'dying might be made as cosy as possible. Yes, faithfully did the women of Gettysburg do their work of mercy to friend and to foe alike. Many, too, are the interesting stories of hospital experiences which one may hear from the lips of actors in the drama—stories tinged with pathos and romance that rival tho most extravagant productions of fiction. But alas! the number of those whose delight it is thus to re­ count the deeds of old is growing smaller and smaller. On each visit to Gettysburg I miss the face of some, dear old friehd at whose feet I sat an interested learner. Each summer brings throngs of pil­ grims to whom the story of the battle must be told anew. So let it ever be. Thus may we learn to love with a more fervent devotion that country, the peace and happiness of which have been purchased at such a cost. ’Tim holy ground. Its memories, its asso­ ciations, its influence, must stir the heart to nobler things.

The father and son pooled capital and efforts, and pi the succeeding 10 yean paid for the fkrm, added more land, and thoroughly demonstrated the fact that farming pays. During this time Mr. Davenport taught three terms in teachers’ school which he had attended when younger. The attention of the college faculty having* been especially directed upon Mr. Davenport's work and study by an able paper which he p repared and read at a farmers’ in­ stitute, bis case was thoroughly exam­ ined, and in 1884 the degree of master of science was, unasked for, conferred by the state board of agriculture.

He turned to the other man again. “A trick.” said tho latter simply. “Who is with him?" asked Laurence again. "Nobody," said I, surprised and rather frightened by these questions. "Mrs. Rayner and Mr. Maynard are in tho diuing-room." "Maynard?” "Ye*. He is asleep." * The middle-aged man gave a snort of disgust "Hasn't Mr. Rayner been In the din­ ing-room at all, dear, this evening?" asked Laurence, gently. “Not since dinner. I left him play­ ing in the drawing-room at five-andtwenty minutes to eight and he told me to call him at nine/* “But it is nine." “Yes. When I went to the drawing­ room door just now I found it locked, and I knocked; but ho did not answer.” “Will you go and knock again, and say you wish to speak to him particu­ larly. dear?” said Laurence, gravely. I hesitated, trembling from head to foot f*. “Why?" asked I, in a low voice. “Because wc want to speak to him particularly," said the other man, ■gruffly. But I looked at his hard face and panted out: “You are a policeman. I know! What do you want with Mr. Rayner?" “Never you mind, my dear; we won’t bort you. Just go and say you want Ito speak to him?’ “No, I won't!” I cried—not loudly, for my voice seemed to grow suddenly weak. "Whatever you think he has done, or whatever he has done, I will Dever help to harm Mr. Rayner!” The man shrugged his shoulders, walked to the window, whistled softly. Laurence put me in a chair, whisper­ ing: "That’s a brave girl!"—but with such an anxious, stern face. And tho other man came back into the room, followed by a policeman with his staff ready in his hand. "Wc must break open the door,” said the elder man. I started from my seat. I wanted to rush to tho drawing-room door and warn Mr. Rayner; but Laurence pre­ vented me, whispering, gravely: “My darling, you must leave it to us now.” Every word, every movement had been so quiet that the music still went on while they opened the school-room door and crossed tho hall. I stood watching them breathlessly. _ The three men, Laurence, the most Stalwart, foremost, placed themselves against the drawing-room door, and by one mighty push burst it open. I ran forward to the doorway just in time to see Gordon, Mr. Carruther’s servant, fling down the violin and rush to the opposite window, the abutters of which were unfastened. But I beard the crash of glau and at the same instant two policemen dashed ^through tho shattered French window, seized and handcuffed him. Then ha stood be­ tween them, white and immovable, without a struggle. “It's no go. We know you’re one of the gang,” said the middlosged “Gama’s up. We’ve got your ‘•What leader?" leader?” asked Gordon, calmly. “James Woodfall.” “It’s a lief” snapped out the immov­ able Gordon. “James Woodfall would­ n’t let him»cif be nabbed by such as “Why not?

Laurence did not join in the chase after Gordon, but tore off the body of my frock and bandaged my arm himself. He wished to go to Beaconsbnrgh for a doctor, but 1 insisted tliat the injurvj was trifling, and his bandaging would serve until tho doctor cn.me m the morning to seo Sarah. '•Now tell me about the robbery. Did you find the policemen in the park?” Then auddenlyl sprang up from the sofa. "Where la Mr. Itayncr? Why was Gordon here instead of him? Oh, Laurence, my head seems to be go­ ing round! I don’t understand it at alL I am getting quite bewildered. Why " Let mo tell you about the rob­ bery,” said be, very gravely and gent­ ly. “ I found tho policemen in the park and stationed them in tho shrub­ bery, and I stood myself, with that man over there, and ono other, as close as possible to the back entrance of the house; and there wo waited un­ til nearly half-past seven, when a man came up through the fog and tapped at the door.' Ono of tho maids opened it, by appointment, as it turned out, for she was expecting him, though I don’t believe tno poor girt suspected what his real business was; for it was Tom Parkes. And, when they went inside, Tom went last, and left the door ajar. A few minutes later another man came up and slipped 'in so quietly, so quickly, that we could hardiy havo sworn in the dense fog to his coinc in at all- Then presently l orn nnu tho girl came out lie said goud-bye to her, walked a few steps away, until sho had shut tho door, ' then returned and crept alongside the wall of the house until he was under the strong-room window. There were four of our men stationed very close to that and their chief, who was with mo, crept along easily under cover of the fog, which was as thick as ever, to join them. I fdllowed with tho otheF men. In a few minutes wb heard a soft whistle from the strong-room win­ dow, as we guessed. Tom answered by another, and wc saw a third man come up and join Tom. I was so close that I saw a bundlo let cautious­ ly down from tho window by a cord. Tom handed it to tho third man. whom wo allowed to walk off with it —followed, however, by two policoj men—in order to watch the further proceedings of tho other two thieves. Another bundle was let down, which Tom carried off himself; and then we watched anxiously for the next move­ ment of the man in tho house. The strong-room window is about twenty feet from the ground; but tho man jumped down and landed on his feet. In an instant five of us were upon him, but, though I think each of us in turn thought we had caught him, ho eluded us all and got clear away, and in the fog escaped us But the man at the window there, who has been so many Ecars on tho force, recognized him and lentified him as James Woodfall, and I recognized him, too.” "You. Laurence! I didn’t know you had ever seen him!” I cried. At that, moment tho elderly man left the window. "It’s of no good, sir, I'm afraid. The one rogue’s got off as clear as the oth­ er. Can you tell me where Maynard is, m;ss?’r I got up from the sofa and led the way into the dining-room. Mrs. Ray­ ner was still sitting, pale and upright, with staring gray eyes, Maynard still sleeping. The other detective shook him. and glanced at the wine. * "Drugged!" said he, shortly. With a few vigorous shakes he suc­ ceeded in rousing Maynard, and, when he began to look round him in a dazed way, the other said, sharply: "Pretty fellow you are to be hood­ winked like that, and drink and sleep quietly under tho very roof of one of the greatest scoundrels unhung!" "Who?” aaid the other, startled. "Mr. Rayner?” “Mr. Rayner! Yes, *Mr. Rayner’ to simple folks like yon; but to me and every thief-taker that knows his busi­ ness—the missing forger, James Wood­ fall!" CHAPTEll XXIX As the detective pronounced the name of "James Woodfall," I gave a cry that startled them alL Shaken as my trust in Mr. Rxiyner had already been, the shock seemed in a moment to change tho aspect of tho whole world to me. My wild wandering eyes fell upon Mrs. Rayner, who sat with her hands tightly clasped and head bent, listening to the proclamation of the secret which had weighed her down for years. I sunk down upon the floor beside her, and she put her thin wasted arms round my neck and kissed me without a word. And the three men quietly left the room. "Ob, Mrs. Rayner,” I whispered, “it is terrible for you!" “Not so terrible to me," sho whis­ pered back, wearily. "I have known It for years—almost ever since I mar­ ried him. But don’t talk about it any more, said she, glancing furtively round the room. “Ho may be in tbe house at this moment; and they might search and watch for months, but toey would never catch him. But he will it must have been you who sei Laurenoe Reade upon the track.” "Not of Mr. Rayner. Oh, I never thought,of ■“ob » thing!" I whispered, shuddering. And I told her all snout ray kimpicions of Tom Parkes, my visit to the ball, my letter to Laurence and all I said in it “Mr. Reade has Bhown energy and courage,” said she. "But ho will suf­ fer for it, too. You don’t snow that man yet He will never let Laurenoe < “Will you forgive me for the blow I have innocently brought on you?" " It is no blow to me," said ike, rais­ ing her aad eyes to his face. "That man—my husband—would have got rid of me long ago, but that-ha hated violence and dreaded it Every thing abort of that he baa triad,” ahe whis­ pered; "and it is not my fault that my wretched life has lingered in spite of him.” Laurence ground his teeth. "Tho wretch!" he Baid, in a low voice. "But he shall pay for it now. I’ll ransack the whole world till we have unearthed him.” “ You will never do that,” Raid she, , calmly. " He dares too much for that Ho is no coward to lie in a corner." she went on, with a sort of perverse pride in the man for whom every spark of love was long since dead. “He will brave you to your faces and escape you all But you have done your best You are a bravo man, Mr. Reade. You would help mo if you could. Good­ night” She shook hands with him and left tho room. Eo turned to mo quickly. "You must both leave this place,” said he. “The long-continued suffer­ ing has almost turned that poor lady’s brain. But she is safe from that vile wretch now; and you, too, oh, my dar­ ling, thank Heaven!" There was a tap at the door, and the voice of the elder detective said: “Are you ready, sir?” ‘•AR right,” said Laurence; and then added, in a voice for me only: “I’m not ready a bit I ahould like to stay and comfort you forever. Take care of your poor little wounded arm. Good-night, good-night, my darling!” I awoke next morning feeling ill and arose with a hot, aching head and with toy arm paining mo not a little. The doctor called during the forenoon and at once ordered mo off to bed. Although my faith in Mr. Ravnerwas entirely gone my afl'ection for him was gradually coming back. The wicked tilings he bad done I only heard about; and how could tho impression so given outweigh the stronger one of his con­ stant kindness to me? ’ And to think I had drawn down justice upon him— for it was justice I sorrowfully admit­ ted—caused me bitter remorse. Laurence told me, in one of the little notes ho kept leaving for me all day long, that it was expected that Mr Ray­ ner would bravo every thing and return to tho Alders sooner or later, if only for a flying visit, and that, in conse­ quence, tho search of tho house which must take place was to be postponed, and the place watched, with as much caution as possible, from the outside. By letting the life at the Alders go on as usual, it was hoped that he might be lured back under the impression that -he was not expected to return there. Laurence had telegraphed to my moth­ er to tell her that I was quite safe and the journey put off, in order to allay her fears about me. Mrs. Rayner brought one of these notes up to me late in tho afternoon. In audition to her usual pallor, she had great black rings under her eyes and, in answer to my inquiries, she confessed that she had not slept all night “I have something to tell you,” she whispered in my car. “Mrs. Saunders drinks, and is not a proper guardian for Sarah. Sho is afraid of Mr. Rayner; but last night knowing he was not in the house, she waa in nearly as excited a state as her patient and was very rough with her. Sarah’s room is near­ ly opposite mine, and I opened my door and heard what sounded iiko a struggle. Maynard, whq^was iu the room next to the dressing-room, either did not hear or did not like to interfere. But now he is gone; and I ought to be used to terrors, but I am afraid;’’ and abe shuddered. "Surely there is nothing to bo afraid of if you lock vour door, Mrs. Rayner?" "I havo no key. Will you leave your door open and the door at the foot of tho turret staircase? I know you must not leave your bed, but it will be some comfort to know you are within bear­ ing.” I promised, and that night, when Jane camo up to my room for the last time, I made her leave tho doors open when she went down. Tho sense of being on the alert made mo wakeful, and two or three times during the night I rose and stood at the top of my staircase, listening. And tho third time I did hear something. 1 heard a faint cry, and presently the soft shutting of a door, then steps in the corridor oelow, and whispering. I crept half way down the stairs; the whispering continued. I got to the bottom, and recognized Sarah’s voice muttering to hersolf. I would rather have again faced Gordon with his re­ volver than thia madwoman; but I was so anxious aboutMra. Rayner that after a few minuted spent in prayer I vent­ ured out from the doorway, and found Sarah crouched in a comer mattering to herself. The wretched woman started up on stffeing me, but, instead of attempting to approach mo, she hung back, moving her still bandaged I' ve done it—I’ve done it He’ll cornu back now. I’ve done what he wanted. Ho can marry the Christie girl now.” • With a terrible fear at my heart I dashed along the corridor to Sirs. Ray­ ner's room and went straight In. The atmosphere of tho room was sickly and stifling. I went up to the bed. Mrs. Rayner was lying with a doth over her face! I snatched it off. It was steeped in something which 1 afterward learned was chloroform. Thank Heaven, she was alive!—for she was breathing heavily. I rushed to the two windows and flung them wide open, pulled the beH-rupe until the house echoed, and moved her arms up and down. The oook and Jane came in, terribly alarmed, in their night-gowns. I left them with Mrs. Rayner, while I ran down-stairs for some brandy. There was some on the side-board in the dining-room, I knew; and I was returning with it when I caught disappeared. and I bet ba bad »! d*red not lol I crept op^udn, too much tgiuted to fell dsv was fading fast, for it wm five o’clock.

With cook’s assist­ ance Sarah was persuaded to return to her room, where Mrs. Saunders was found in a drunken stupor.

The woman’s tone had re­ sumed its usual submissive quality, and die question was evidently set­ tled. “I reckin I kin get ready next week; ther's the tent fixin's ter make, an’ advertisements an’ sich truck ter see to, an’ ef you hev the boy ready we kin start week alter next.’’ “We kin, kin we? We’ll see about that, we will, darn ye." and a great pair of misshapen fists were clinched and shaken at the speaker. A rickety lean-to joined the main part of the bouse, and there the sub­ ject of the conversation crouched near the partially open door. He was a terribly misshapen creature, with 3 head many sizes too large tor his shrunken body, and great, burning, black eyes looked out from under a crown of shaggy, uncombed hair, giving him an air of strange ferocity, borne disease of the joints had enlarged these useful portions of his anatomy, until they were not only comparatively useless, but hideously distorted, and be was far from being a pleasant object to look upon. Nature, with one of her strange freaks of compensation, had given him a soul superior to tbe uncouth temple In which it was placed, and if poor Nic Vedder could have had the ghost of a chance in life, he might have been, at least a creditable specimen of his race The groat block eyes were the tnd6k of what might have been in­ tellect with proper encouragement, and the uncultivated heart burned with real affection toward those who treated him kindly, though unhappily, these had been so few tn his hard and soul-crushing life, that he would have been puzzled to define his feelings upon the rare occasions. The coarse father had hated and de­ spised him from his birth, and kicks and cruel blows had been his portion from him from infancy. Even the scanty food w.hich was as grudgingly thrown out to him as the bones to an unwelcome dog. was accompanied with railing tor the expense of his kwpine. The mother, left to herself, might have been kind in a weak and unsatis­ factory way, but she stood in mortal tear of her husband and was too indolent to make any decided stand tor right. Bull, she lacked the co..r»e brutality of the father, and when he had broached * his project of making a traveling show of tbe boy. with a double-headed call to well as unavailing. Nic had submit Usd to curious looks hood with indifference. but of late ha had shrunk away from observation. with YOU inc!" “Whar we be goin’P" Tho boy turned and looked the man in the eye, his own burning with a fierce light “Oh. we’re goin’ ter make a bit o’ money, Nic,” with an uneasy laugh. “How we goin’ ter make money, pap, tell me that?” “Oh. ye’ll find out when we git •started.” Nic glared at him with a malicious look. AU the hatred In his soul looked out through his eyes, but a strap with a buckle with cruelly sharpened points hung in full view, and tbe boy’s bare back had tasted its horrors too often to forget its persuasive and quieting pow­ ers. and he slunk down before the fire without the words which were burn­ ing on his tongue. , The man eyed him furtively. “Th’ boy’s got th’ very devU in him. an’ he'll do mo a mischief ef I don’t watch ’Im,” ho muttered as ho got up uneasily and went out of doors. “Mam, be you willin’?” The poor boy turned to the mother with an im­ ploring look as tbe door closed, and then she knew that he was only too well aware of the nature of tbe ttanatural plan. . “No, Nicky, I bean’t,” she answered with a half-whining tone of kindness, but what kin I do? Pap ’ud take the strap ter me jest ex quick ex he would ter you ef I sh’d cross ’im. Mebbe you’ll like it, Nicky.” •‘Like it, mam." and such a tempest of repressed wrath and woo burst from the boy’s Ups as tbe feeble mother had never dreamed of. “Hush. Nicky,” she whispered fear­ fully, as tbe flood of vituperation and grief poured forth from the over­ charged heart. “Pap ’ll hear, an’ I’m afeard he’ll strap ye awful." •‘I wish’t he’d kill me an’ have done with it.” “No, no, Nicky, thet’s wicked," in her surprise and perplexity doing what she had never done in her life before, smoothing his unkempt hair with a touch of pitying tenderness. It was toi much, and with a quick upward glance in her face he burst into a flood of tears. One touch of kindness had broken his heart, and. bearing tho father's returning foot­ steps, he crept away to his hard bed, sobbing as if his poor stifled heart would break. The days followed each other in monotonous succession as the white covered wagon Jolted from town to town. It was only the poorest classes of course which patronized the pitiful show, but Sam Veddcrs’ itching palm was satisfied as nickels and dimes passed in oven faster than he had an­ ticipated. and he had relented toward his unhappy charge to the extent of bringing him a bag of candy and pea­ nuts as a peace offering, for the boy had borne his indignities in sullen si­ lence, turning his glaring eyes upon the sightseers at times with alarming ferocity. One day Sam pitched the tent on a green common just in the outskirts of a large village, and announced his in­ tention of staying nntll the town was thoroughly worked for customers. “You jest spruce up an’ look alive, Nic, an’ I’ll buy ye a picter book ef we do well here,” be said, with his nearest approach to good humor. A purpose had been forming in the lad’s mind, a settled determination to run away at the first suitable oppor­ tunity, and an idea of beguiling his unnatural parent with caning entered his untutored brain. golden teat door. "Pease, may Dolly turn inT’ said a sweet, silvery voice. “I boughted oo a tookia, a pitty tookie, Dolly did.” Nic started. Ho had seen pictures of angels and had dreamed of them, but had never seen such a near ap­ proach to one as this soft-eyed little cherub, her white hand stretched out to him with its cookie offering and tho lovely blue cyos filled with timid wonder. "Come in, little Dolly," said Nic, in a voice which was a surprise to him­ self, he wm> so little accuHtomed to speaking gently. The child sidled in, and he took the cake from her dimpled hand as reverently aa if it had been manna from Heaven. “Is oo all alone?” said the midget, laying her little hand softly on Nic’s arm. "Poo boy. Doily is awfy sorry foroo.” Her innocent baby heart had divined with pitying instinct that he was not like others, and her sympathy was genuine and outspoken. Poor Nic. He had so sold pm heard a word ot sympathy, and he gazed at her with eyes of adoring admiration. An impulse had seized him to throw himself at the foot of the lovely, gentle little creature, and kiss the tips of her dainty, bronze shoes, when a voice was heard calling: “Dolly, Dolly, where’s my Dolly?" “Here I is. Katie,” and turning, tbe little charmer tripped away to the door; she paused a moment “Dood bye, poo boy. Oo be dood an’ Dolly turn see oo again some day." The place was charmed after this for NJo, and ho found a variety in his dreary life,, by watching through a .hole he had made in the canvas, the little home across the way, where the children played through the sunny hours of the long summer days, and tears often filled his eyes as be noted eagerly every motion of the little one whose sweet presence had come across his darkened life like a ray of heavenly light, and his plan of running away was forgotten in his new interest The day camo when Sam announced that they would leave the town on the following day. and it seemed to Nic that be was about to leave all that he held dear on earth and a wild desire to see this little blue-eyed comforter once more took possession of him and he betook himself to his post and watched more eagerly than ever every motion at tbe white bouse. There were very few visitors at the tent and Sam spent the most of the day outside in an effort to attract customers; it was nearly noon and Sam had gone to an uptown grocery to buy Nic’s meager dinner when the boy's watchful eye discovered the child toddling down the street alone. The mother was busily engaged in the kitchen preparing her noon-day meal, Katie had gone on a needful er­ rand and little Dolly had Improved the opportunity of making a tour of in­ vestigation by herself. Nic watched her until the flutter of her little white garment disappeared around a corner, and then ho waited with a feeling of strange unrest tor her to come back, but she did not, and the mother, busy with her cares, had not yet missed her. It may havo been a, providence, God knoFs, which put the feeling of alarm into the poor boy’s heart, but at any rate he crept from the tent, and seeing no signs of Sam's approach, for he was strictly forbidden to leave it under pain of fearful punishment, bo ran as fast as he oould in the direction the little one had gone. A moment brought him to the cor­ ner, past which the railroad ran, and he looked up and down tho track with a vague sense of impending danger. A huge something was coming puffing and roaring around a curve, and, oh horror! there was little Dolly toddling along on the track, her sunny curls she had brought out for an alrln unwonted cheerfulness, "ther’ll be tightly clasped in her chubby arma lots o’ folkses here. Say. pappy, Tho nearest approach to a prayer prayi won’t ye buy me a jack knife, too?” that he hod over uttered broke from fro “Mebbe. Nic; mebbe."

The stream goes dancing down, and the merry globules hud­ dled all together are laughing as they pass away to tbe deep sea. to mingle with the millions of others gathered from all sorts of places. . There arc happy drops, escaped from the caverns and the rocks from the depths of the darkness under the mountains; there are unwilling drops, that in the morn­ ing lay on the rose leaves and took tho hues of dainty beauty from their tints; unhappy drops, that long again to be mist and bang over the mountain tops and creep among the fragrant pines; gay and laughing drops, that have been tumbling over the bowlders, in and out of shadow, looking forward to the hour when they would rush out into the valley and be free at last And among the joyous group one lit­ tle drop goes silently and sadly along, jostled by the rest, but heeding not their merriment. “Why are you sad?” asks one who has but seen the glorious sunlight for a few hours. “Are you not glad to bo out dancing and sparkling liko the rest of us? Did you love your dark chamber in tbe rocks so much?” “My chamber was darker than the rocks,” answers the other.' “I am a tear from a mother's heart, a mother who wept for her child.” And a little way off two other drops fall together, drawn by mutual sor­ row. They wander down side by side, neither^ speaking. The gay. flood dashes * on the banks, flashes over rocks, makes a feint of climbing up to seize the flowers that bloom above it, and rattles laughingly away. Some of the drops, too venturesome, throw themselves up at the bending sprays of green and are caught and lost. But through it all the two sad little things, holding on to one another, float on to­ ward the sea. “And what hre you!” asks one at last. “Did you come from the mist or from the earth? Were you a dew­ drop this morning, or did you fall from the cloudsF’ “I am none of these.” it answers. “I am from a woman’s bright eye. I am the tear of a woman for her false lover.” “Grieve not!

Tbe hole was apparently growing ve-y rapidly. Tho only living object iu sight was a cow a few hundred needed iu rescuing. the valley At the evoniu? atesion Russel! A.

They came from all sections of the country, among them being Gen. Hurst, ot Ohio; T. A. Bean, of Penn­ sylvania; Gen. Ginty. of Winconaiu; and Corporal Tannar. of New York. Gen.

They were followed by twenty deputy sheriffs to the boys’ jail, on the Leonard street ride. The lost rites of the church were then administered. At fi;4u two of the con'demned men, Pawkenham and Nolan’, emerged from the jail Father Pendergast supported Paokenham and Father Gelinas walked by Nolan’s side. Father Van Reneellear followed. Packenham’s face was ghastly pale, but his step was firm. Nolan hardly appeared to realize his poiltioa. Reaching their plbces under the ropes both men turned and grasped tue priests by the hands. In a twinkling tho black cape were adjusted, and Atkinson rapped three times in rapid succession on the riJe of tha box, wherein a third assistant stood with a hatchet. Tho third rap had hardly been given when the bodies of tho murdorent were swinging in the air. At the expiration of four minutes a mighty throe passed through both of the suspended men. At 7:10 o'clock both men were pronounced dead, but were permitted to hang fifteenminutes longer. While this scene was being enacted preparations were being made for what proved to be tho most chocking spectacle that has over been witnessed within the walls ot tha Tombs prison. At 6:43 the two murderers received their last spiritual consolation. At 7:02 Carolin and Lewis, accompanied by tbe priosta, came through tho door. Lewis walked unsteadily for the first dozen paces, but quickly recovered himself. He was smiling anff looked fearlessly around him. Carolin’s face was pale and the scowl upon St almost demonaicab He glared at the priests as he turned around and felt the rope' touch his shoulder. Then hq broke out into blasphemy that horrified tho spectators. Looking sullenly at the priests the doomed man suddenly ex­ claimed : “I die an innocent man,-------------------- ; I didn't do thh tiling.” Lewis half-turned his head and said: “What's the matter with you, anyway* Why don't you die like a man*” *T will die like a man,” shrieked Caro­ lin, his face turning perfectly livid. “I will die like a mon—an innocent man.” Tho words were scarcely out of his mouth when the black cap was clapped over tbe murderer’s face, tbe signal was given and tho weight fell. Instead of bounding up­ ward as Packenbam and Nolan had done, the wretchod men went into tbe air with such little force that there was scarcely any spring at alb Lewis immediately be­ gan to struggle in the meet sickening manner. He threw his legs about so vio­ lently as to kick off hia slippers. Then be began to gurgle and chokn. The rasp­ ing, wheezy sound came from under the cap for fully ten seconds. His body turned and swayed, ami tbe contortions were so painful that tbe spectators turned away their head-. The man was slowly strangled. Carolin’s body also underwent violent -contortions, 'but he uttered no sound. Tbe weight fell at 7:03 o'clock and at 7:10 both men were dead. IOWA’S BLUE GRABS PALACE.

Good judges of tho game in Chicago begin to believe that had Clarkson not. been sold the Chicagos would now be in­ to tho pennant fight. Wbnt the team needs is one good pitcher andleasiu-audouters. Its batting, fielding, and iwuorunning are good enough. Tim Keefe, the famous pitcher of tbeNew Yorks, has turned Benedict. Ha Moss., to Mrs Helm, a sister of Mrs. Helen. Dauvray Ward. Artie Latham is back in his old plncoon the St Louis Browns, after a suspen­ sion of two weeks. Latham said that ho wouldlnover again give the club managoincut auy cause for complaint, and it wais on these conditions that he again entera the clubs ranks. He loses his salary dur­ ing suspension. Xt is reported that President Brush, of Indianapolis, is urging the adoption of a. plan to get the Cleveland, Indianapolis^ Columbus and Cincinnati clubs into » contest after the championship season closes. He proposes that each of thaeo four elub« put up $2^0. and that tho Surso of $1,000 thus obtained shall bo itidod into two Pri«ca, tho first of #750 and tho second of $250, to be played for­ ty the two Association aud two League­ clubs. the series to consist of two gamee in each city by each club, to be playedbetween Oct. 14 and 28; the winner to bo awarded first prize and a pennant em­ blematic of the interstate chiunpionahip. The Indianapolis directors have not con­ sidered tho matter fully, but will likdy decide in favor of it Cincinnati is said to favor the projio'ition. Manager Mu trie tolls a story of how, iu order to avoid a game with the Giants on a wot day, to make things worse, tho ■ Loos er groundket<per had brought out hoso and sprinkled the base lines, pitch­ er’s box. and home plate to such an ex­ tent as to make a game wholly impossi­ ble. Jim insisted on a game, as it wannot raining. The Hoosier people hummed end hawed, aud finally agreed to play wt. 4:30. They did play aud defeated the Giants, much Io Mutrie’s chagrin. The Association has another club fighton its hands. Louisville opened negotia­ tions for the purchase of Catcher Doyhu of tho Cantons and bad him at I. on is-, villa, when C olumbus stepped in, outbid' Louisville, and got the man. Tbe row over him will bo a spectacle for cirvdiaation. Pitcher Krock, formerly of tho Chicagos, bai been signed b/ the Milwaukee*. Earl will catch him. Tbe plan of equally dividing tbe gate receipts to future league championship­ guinea is being quietly discussed by ih.v clubs. Chicago, Cleveland, Pittsbnrg.. Washington, and Indianapolis are aaid to favor such a division, and New York, Boston, and Philadelphia to oppose it.

JIM HILL TO RESIGN. James J. Hill, the rnilrond king of the NorthwoaL will. It is said, resign tbo Presi­ dency of the St. Paul. Minneapolis and Manitoba Road at tho annual meeting to be held Sept. 12. Rumors of the proposed, or. to be more explicit, forced, retirement of President Hill have been current In St. Paul for several months, and are now con­ firmed by one who has tho confidence ot the magnate. Tho Manitoba Road has been losing money for some time, while its ex­ penses have been enormously increased by President Hill's recklessness in building extension* and absorbing feeders. Mr. Hill's friends aver that he will resign with no regret, but will devote hia time in future to travel and a general supervision of hia vast interest*. BASE-BALL HATTERS.

We should like the opinions of some of our thinking people od the subject. Our schools, which opened Monday, are in a very prosperous condition, more so, in fact, than nt any time since they were first established. There are over 9G0 names enrolled in the different rooms, the high school having a larger number than ever before, there being but one vacant seat in the room.’ The number of pupils in the high school wbo pay tuition is exactly double what it baa been in any previous year, while the number in the other rooms is equally as large as heretofore. The grammar and intermediate rooms were so overoowed that it became nec­ essary to make a division, and to ibis end the north room of the third story was fitted np with new seats, and a ■ umber of the pupils from each of the two rooms placed therein, with Miss Jennie Mills as instructress. The list of teachers in their respective rooms is as follows: A. L. Bemis, supt; Mrs. A. L. Bemis, asst, so pt,; Miss Lees, second grammar room; Miss Mills, first grammar room; Mias Smith, intermedi­ ate; Miss Wardell, second primary: Miss Fuller, first primary. The present arrangement of classes, however, we think should be changed; as it now is. Prof. Bemis has only 35 minutes during school hours free from class work, which we;think does not allow him sufficient time for properly overseeing the work of the lower grades, which is an important part of his work aud should be neither overlooked nor slighted.

I had ridden all day, and now, nt •undown, I found myself in an violated spot, without any prospect of a docent eight's lodging. No sign of a habitation could I see, as I peered this side aud that in tho dusky shadows—nothing but hilly, sparsely timbered country, as far as the eye might discern. I had started some six weeks pre­ vious for the cheap lands in the West, intending to purchase a home with the little allowance I possessed. I had been rather unfortunate all my life. When a mere child, my father went to the frontier, and my mother, after hav­ ing looked in vain for word from liint for a year or more, concluded that the Indians bad murdered him—they at that time being in a state of hostility ■—and, gathering her little all about her, went back to Now York, broken­ hearted aud disconsolate. In a few months after her arrival she sank into the grave, leaving me a penniless or­ phan. A gentleman of her acquaintance adopted me and removed me, with his family, to Indiana, liefore the grass grew green on my mother's grave, and thus hurried me away from all I held dear on earth, and many were tho bit­ ter tears shed in tho ’deep woods of Hoosierdom in memory of the lonely grave near Utica. Nevertheless, when I liecaine of ngo I remembered, iu looking over tho past, that I had had a kind father in my foster-parent, aud when ho gave we quite a little sum and a sprifeditly pony, saying, “Go West, Clifforu, and get rich," I started at once. As a sequel, at the close of a cold, raw November day, I found myself toiling over a winding, isolated road, bound for somewhere. I hardly knew where. ' Dismounting, I slipped the rein over my arm and concluded 4o walk down the rocky declivity before me: as I proceeded slowly, wondering where I might camp out for the night, I came suddenly on an old man, with a bundle on Ids back, at a turn in tho road. He looked up with a quiet “Good evening," and turned aside to let me pass. “Could you tell me,” I said, “where I might find a shelter for the night?” • lie looked at me again steadily for a moment, then, without answering my question, asked cautiously- where I hailed from. “From Indiana,” I replied. “I am hunting a fortune in the great West, aud I rather think I have struck a poor section to-day." “I guess ve have, sir; but iust be­ yond these hills lies a beautiful strip of faru.ing land," he said. “As to your stopping for tho night," he continued, shifting his bundle a lit­ tle, “if you're net over particular as to ’com xnodations, why, I reckon you can "bunk with me; and your nag can do very well iu the shed wjth a bunch o' Jodder.

A quart® of a mile further ou and we came to liis domicile. “Here’s where I stay," he said, opening the door to a rude log hut which seemed to have grown into the side of a hill. On entering I found it quite com­ fortable on the inside, despite the un­ promising exterior. “Now rest your­ self." he said, putting down his bundle and striking a light, “while I give your nag a Irite under the shed." With this the old man laughed a little, as a sort of apology, I thought, and disappeared outside. I sat thinking. Somehow I rather liked his looks. Not so very old. he seemed cheerful, notwithstanding his gloomv surroundings, and I wondered ■why fee was here alone. “Wife is dead,” I tliought, looking about me •round the plainly furnished, onexuomed abode. “Maybe a confirmed old bachelor, or—o notorious character hiding from justice, and one who in­ tends finishing me for his own agpaadizemant," whispered an evil genius in ay ear. Thia suggestion made me shiver and X sat revolving it in my mind until it Menied the most natural thing iu the world, and by the time he returned I was in good trim to watch every move­ ment of the nansas pec ting old man as he bmded himself about tho evening jaeal. ’ “A short nag is soon curried," he add with a smile, arranging the corn bread, bacon and coffee on the table. I wa>. MMnewhat taken aback, however ___________________ -KI- When I told him. he gave a little start aud eyed me curiously for a mo­ ment, before ho settled back into his former quiet demeanor, but said noth­ ing. After the repast he took n pipe from the shelf and a-ked mo if 1 smoked. . Upon my replying that I did not, he filled tho’corn-cob invention with home­ made twist and sat down to enjoy a whiff by himself. “ I don't use tobacco much" ho said apologetically: “ bnt I generally smoke afore I go to bed, a pipe or so; it kind of drowns trouble. " . “ Thon vou have had trouble ?" I asked. ' “Yes, young man, a great deal of sorrow, though youngsters can’t untrrstand it by the tolling," ho replied, with a sigh. My heart roftenod toward tho old man as he sat thoughtfully looking into the fire, while tho light danced over his long, gray beard. . I had a great curiosity to find out more of his history; but he revealed nothing more, and, as I was fatigued with tho journey of tho day, I was ready to retire. “You can sleep with me, or bunk on tho settee," he said, at bedtime. I pre­ ferred to sleep alone, and forthwith he drew from a great red chest in the cor­ ner of the room % couple of heavy com­ fortables and proceeded to make up a bed for his guest on the aforesaid “sottoe " I forgot my suspicions as I rolled up in my impromptu couch and dozed off to restful repose. How long I slept I know not; but I was awakened suddenly by some one’s breath in my face. A chill .of horror ran through my HEART SOFTENED and ah I live Up here alone.

And I, more bewildered than ever, nnd overcome with happiness and good fortune, murmured, "Yes, father." Well, we did go over to manage the farm; nnd I invested my means in im­ provements, so that we now are getting along finely. That old gentleman sitting there on ths porch is my father, whose story you've heard in part; and that lady flitting about the house in there is my wife. Happy? Oh, yes; we are vorvhappy in our cozy Wes'tem home; ana I often look at father and remember tho old man with a bundle who seemed so willing that I should lodge with him. Wood in Her Stomach. A case which is likely to attract the profound attention of the medical minds of the State has been developed in Burlington, Ala. Mrs. J. J. Murphy, the wife of a laborer, died recently after a short Al­ ness of some disease of the stomach, the nature of which physicians were unable to determine. After her death Dr. Steves, who had boon her attend­ ing physician for two weeks prior to her death, obtained the consent of the dead woman’s husband to make an au­ topsy, to ascertain the disease from -the effects of which she died. He ac­ cordingly opened the stomach aud found most surprising conditions. On TOWARD THE OLD MAN A3 HE SAT THOOGHTFCLLY LOOKING INTO THE FIRE." * veins. Was he going to kill me?

It was evening. Tbe stars were as thick in the sky as freckles on a red­ headed girl’s face. The waves camo in on the beach with a swish-irwashtiwosh just as-they have done eversince . the second day of the • .tion. More piercing than the bong of tho waves were the notes, and more multi­ tudinous than the stars of heaven the number of the mosquitoes that haunted that piazza, and every one of them was “looking for blood.” The mon hal ceased smoking for fun. They now puffed their pipes and cigars to keep the mosquitoes away. “Something funny alxiut mosquitoes," said one, rather absent-mindedly. “Yes, rather," was thediawlingreply.. “Funny how much blood it takes to fill one of them up.” “No; but honest, now, do you know that if a mosquito’d get his bill down into vour hand ho can’t pull it out while you hold your breath?” “Don’t believe it." > “It is true, however, for .1 have tried it." “Bet you the cigars a mosquito can take his bill out at any time he wants to do it, and we will try it right here. Is it a go?” . “It is, and I’ll lot them try." A lamp was lighted, the cigars put out, and all waited. In less than a minute a mos­ quito hod placed himself on Tom’s hand and l>egun operations. “Now,” said Tom, and placed the forefinger of his other hand down cIomj to the mosquito. I| did not budge. He placed his nail against the abdomen of the insect nnd whirled it around. Still it remained fixed. “You can do it every time,” said Tom, as he killed the mosquito aud drew a long breath.

If people who are troubled with that form of egotism which they are belfilattered into behoving is “family pride” would catch hold of the idea that in this republican country every tub stands on its own bottom, and that nobody can disgrace them except them­ selves, they would escape much misery. The sad case of thn three ladies in Washington, belonging to “one of tho oldest families in the District," who have gone insane os the result of brooding in private over the shocks to their pnde, illustrates the folly of this tendency. Ono of their troubles was due to the fact that a half-brother con­ tracted a marriage some years ago which waa kept xecret for several months, the wife beiug known during the time by her maiden name. An­ other brother, a ne’er-do-well, “ac­ cepted a position" as marker in a bill­ iard-room. What is there iu either or both of these occurrences to cause a poiguaut feeling of personal disgrace in the mind of any relative of the imrtia* who was not res]>onsible for them? .An honorable secret _ marriage, with true affection as a basis, is much more creditable than the open sale of them­ selves for money which many “jxxir but proud" daughters of old families consummate. The “black sheep” of a family may disgrace himself, but there is neither rhyme nor reason in his sis­ ters and brothers taking uj>on them­ selves any of the shame. The “old family" pride is one of the most absurd and illogical of all the survivals and ajiings of aristocracy in a republic of equal citizens. Some of its vagaries are amusing, bnt the Washington case is pitiful.—New York World. ________________ A gentleman meeting one of hh the reply. “’Us not I. his my creditors �J RAXCK la etty vism. wribs* Bill •e from Porta to the Ica.o Utrjlii.

The Newest Game. The newest game takes the form of an information party, and i». begun by passing to each gentleman a card, and to the Indies small pieces of paper, which should lie numbered. Those who discover tho same number on their card and paper are partners in the game. Each couple must think of a ques­ tion, sensible or ridiculous, historical or in regard to the weather, to be writ­ ten on the cards, after which the cards are to be gathered together, and tho leader roads each in turn, giving a few moments for the partners to consider the subject and write the answer, which should bo read aloud in turn. Thin is where the fun of the game be­ gins, as many of the answers are ex­ ceedingly queer. Those having a cor­ rect answer mark their card 18. a wrong answer 0, nnd if tho answer is anywhere near right it is counted 5. When all are added, prizes may l>e distributed as in progressive games for the best and poorest record. The instructive part of tho game is the discussion which follows the ques­ tions. The height of Bunker Hill monument is what everybody living near it ought to know, and yet at an information party held a few evenings ago only on© person in a company of twenty was snre of the exact number of feet.—Boeton Traveller. Singular. An old lady of 75 or • more- met an acquaintance in a Boston horse-car, ami-imparted to her the information that she was intending to start shortly for California. “My only daughter lives out there." added tho old lady, “and I want to be with her. You know I’m an orphan." More surprising even than this woman** case was that of a “contra­ band,” who came into tho Federal lines in North Carolina, in tho winter of 1863. He reported himself to the officer of tho day, and the following dialogue ensued: “What’s your name?” “Mv name’s Sam." “Sam What?” * “No, sah, not Sam Watt; I’so just Sam.’’ “What's your other name?” • “I hasn’t got no oder name, tuxh! I’sc Sam—dat’s all.” “What'a your master’s name?" “I’*o got no massa now — massa runncsl away. Yah! yah! I’se free now.” ’ “Well, what’s your father's and mother’s name?". “I’se got none, sah—neber had none. I’a just Bam—ain’t nobody else." “Haven’t vou any brothers and sis­ ters ?" t “No,* sah — never hod none. No brudder, no sister, no fader, no mudder, no massa! Nothin’ but Sam. When you see Sam, you see ail dore is of us.” “Where dooa he live?” “Well, you take this road, go about five miles and come to a gum spring. Then you turn to the right, go about two miles and come to the river; cross over, and keep on the right till you come to an old log housl?. It used to be a church, but it’s a still-house now. Then you take the left-hand road and that leads yon right to Tony’s house. Is he a friend of yourn Y’ “No,” the traveler answered. “What sort of a man is he?" “Oh, he’s a putty stirrin’ feller.* “Is he quarrelsome ?” “No; can’t say that lar.” “Will he fight—that ia, would you term him a deperate man ? “Don’t believe I would say he is des­ perate.” “Do you suppose he would shoot rather than submit to arrest ?” "Don’t think he would. I had a diffi­ culty with him once and he didn’t try toaLootme.” • “You don’t like him very well if you hnd a difficulty with him, do you?" "No, I don’t." “Well, then, Til tell you my business with him. He stole a very fine horse in Texas some time ago end he is wanted in that State.” “You don’t say so! I ain’t surprised, though. The reason I didn’t appear to know much about him when you .first asked was because I was afraid you wax a friend of his. Stole a boss, hah ? Well, you can jest slip over there and nab him as easy as slippin’ off a sycamore log. I’d go and help you but I ain’t got nothing to ride.” “I wish you could. I suppose, though, that I can make inquiry along the way ?" “I wouldn’t do that, for he’s got a good many kin folks scattered along and they moot drop on you.” “You are doubtless right; I am glad you cautioned me.” When the stranger had gone the old fellow got off the stump, and, taking up a bridle, said: “Mr. Tony Beers, you’ve got to do some riding now on that fine boss from Texas. That chump will have a nice wild goose chose while I am getting out of the country in another direction.

Jay Gould, it appears, hankers not after the per­ fumed flesh-pots. He is satisfied with nu ordinary grade of liver. Russell Sage eats dried apples. Berry Wall lives ou ice-cream; Charles A.

The enterprise displayed by those journalists in gathering such important information should serve as a lesson to the sluggish newspaper men of the West. ________________ The plan of organizing town socie­ ties, which shall have for their object the improvement aud adornment of the places in which they are formed, is a movement which deserves to be en­ couraged. The proverb, what is every­ body’s business is nobody’s business, is strikingly applicable io a great many classes of public work; but a town society formed of intelligent, disinter­ ested. aud public-spirited citizens, suj>pljps a medium for creating public sentiment, and for wisely directing it when created. It is not a shifting iKMly, as u board’ of selectmen is apt to l>e, but having prepared a policy for public improvement it can continuously work toward its development. Such an organization is also useful from tho force of criticism it can bring to l»ear upon public officials who are not satis­ factorily performing their duty. It is needless to say that a town improveTnent society ought to be made up of those wbo do not hold and who are not seeking public office. < *F—■■ "I"AH EBE I* *==•~I OQ* locality ’T. *\7»\ I of peculiar w interest t o qKviV a., rL'li° buntr*, arcba^ologiat*. i *tnd*nt* Ot hl»- I torr that, being ' aomewbat obscure | THS KLKFuasr vu-g. and rarely vlaitad by i writers. ;a eom)Miretlvely unknown to the | general public: and yet it la one of tile moat : remarkable spots on the continent.

We don’t want any." “How's real estate?” queried the Buffalo man after a while. “Advancing, of course. Six months ago I offered lots on Washington ave­ nue for $10 a foot. To-day I am asking $20, a foot. Thot’s 100 per cent., isn’t it, and nothing like a lx>om. We are simply growing on our merits alone. That's .the proper wav for a town to grow."

There has twen no boom, however—remember that. It’s just a natural growth." , “What's the population?" “That’s one of the strong points in my new prospectus. A year ago I was here alone.

BI QEOBOE H. COOMER. Uncle Ben was long past going to sea. but his stories of the deep were always interesting, for they were tales of ex'perience, and uot of imagination. I recall one of them in particular, the incidents of which occurred in his youth, a little previous to the war of 1812. “At that time,” he l>egan, “sailors had more to dread than now, for they were in constant dread of impressment by the British. Sometimes they would be nicked up while on shore* in tho English ports, and whisked off on board a man-of-war; but oftener they were seized on the broad ocean—taken right off their own decks, and com­ pelled to sen e among strangers. "How would it look at this dav for a British officer to come on board, an American vessel and order the caj>taiu to muster his crew, just as slaves are brought out for an auction sale in the West Indies? Think of it 1 What would the news|*apers say? What would the people sav? What would the President say ? Wouldn't there be a call to arms from Maine to Cali­ fornia? And wouldn’t every man in the county, capable of shouldering u musket, be eager to volunteer for die honor of our flag ?" Uncle Ben looked full of enthusiasm os he said this; full, too, of a just in­ dignation at rememberetl wrongs. . "But habit,” the old mariner re­ sumed, “is everything. Our people had got in the way of looking upon En,£Und as having a’ kind of ownership of the ocean, and it took them a long while to forget this inherited feeling. “Why, some of our vessels, brought to by the British cruiser?, would be left with hardly men enough to work them into port. And yet, our folks took it as a matter of course, seeniing to think that nothing could' be done about it. Wasn’t England the ‘mother country?’ they said, aud the ‘mistress <rf the oceau ?* “Before going to sea, I got what was called a ‘protection,* telling where I a as born, how old, how tali 1 was, and what color my eyes were. The very fact that an American sailor should be obliged to procure such a writing, with such an object, was enough to fill one wi:h shame. t But, still worse, the thing did no good. “A ‘protection,’ in so far as regarded the danger of impressment; was worth just its weight of blank paper, and no more. It is true that the British pro­ fessed to seize only their own country­ men; but, in reality, they paid no at­ tention to any affidavit of birth. ‘We want men. and will have them,’ they sai<l; and that ended the matter. ' “All my sea-going acquaintances had th* like passports, subscribed and sworn to ‘in proper legal form, and as humiliating, under the circumstances, as if in.bo many words they had asked John Bull to grant the bearers the lib­ erty of sailing on his big jxmd. “The one I carried answered very well for three years, ktaiphr because it never happened to be called for, and *UI-U, UUUW(, then, finding miovu myself gni»u grown wounaua too tall and robust to answer the description. I got" -n. ° another. “At that time I was going to Lisbon in the ship Rebecca. The captain was an excellent man, named Eddv. whose family lived directly across tfie street from ours, and who had known me from my birth. “The entireship s company was made vip of our townspeople) to that when we went out of port it hardly seemed like going away from home, we had so xnauy familiar associations in common. “The Rebecca reached Lisbon in about thirty days, and our »tey there was very interesting. The foremast hands being all »ol>er and w ell-informcd man, there became treasured up in the forecastle a great deal of enter­ taining knowledge concerning the ■ Portuguese and their country. “ We had all heard the story of the destruction of old Lisbon by the tre'•unendons earthquake of 1755’, and im­ agination vividly painted the scene as we looked up and down the Tagus. “At the time we were there Marshal Jnnot, with a French army, had poscession of the citv, for Napoleon had then jast laid his hand upon Portugal. | “I shall never forget the appearance of those Faeneh troop*. Every morn­ ing they used to turn out for exercise, •nil I OMOre you they were no holiday soldiers. Tlie grenadiers, esperially, were very imposing, for they wore huge LeAiwkin shakos, and were,, besides, taller than the other*. "When, finally, we had secured tour cargo of wine am! dates, aud were once Captain Eddy gave orders to haul around th© maiuyard. He looked ter­ ribly vexed aud stern, bnt be was In die ’ lipa's mouth, and could Dot help hiniHftlf. “8o the Rebecca,, with her foro-to]>aail aback, lay tumbling in the sea, with her headway entirely stopped. “The British cmucr also hove to, with her jib and staysail loosely ping. and the canvat on her mamsiaal holding her where she was. Then a Lieutenant, with a number of marines, came on board of um^; The Teasel alongside, ho said, was} his Majesty’s brig Falkirk, Captain Downs. “First he asked for the Rebecca’s papers, and, having read them, or­ dered onr Captain to have all mwk tored aft. “ ‘You have no authority,’ said Cap­ tain Eddy, 'to command me in such a manner. My men, I presume, are all on deck, aud you can see them. I shall moke no special muster df my crew.’ “The British Lieutenant looked sur­ with ioUrol. o< the Army, into the pushed u* to. the gangway, and, though we turned desperately upon the sharp steel, it was only to rooeiye wounds which, if not deep, were at least painful. “Cajrtain Eddy, forcing his wav be­ tween the soldiers and ourselves, shook hands with us heartily before we wont down our good ship’s side into the En­ glish boat. . “ 'Don't be ■down-bearted, my good lads,* he said; Til see you through. Iliis matter isn’t to stop here! If they take you, they take me. And, remem­ ber,’De added, with emphasis, ‘that even English law does not sustain this thing. The officer at my elbow knows this as well as I do. Or, at least, if you do not, sir,’ he continued, address­ ing the Lieutenant, ‘you are ignorant of the laws of your own country.' more or less their relative jxuritions with the unsteady puffs of air. yet never getting very far from each other. And all this time Captain Downs seemed in a state of imtotpm. “Oxi the evening of tho same day we were once more decidedly ahead, and, nearing the great naval anchorage at Spithead, between the island and the main land, where the harbor of Ports­ mouth'is aitnated. • "As the day broke, a ship was ob­ served off our quarter. Lighter and lighter grew tho sky, and more and more familiar tho appearance of the accompanying vessel. “ ‘Confound tbo miserable Yankee T cried Captain Downs, at last out of in spite of Ilia bravado, looked a little patience, and grown terribly nervous with his three or four days of'suspense. ‘Can it be that he really means to fol­ low me into port? I'd no idea the would carry his contemptible folly to thia extent T “He had, indeed, good reason to feel disturbed, for. there, before hia eyes, and not two miles off, was the Rebecca, bearing straight up for Spithead. “No doubt he thought of the Board of Admiralty, the Court of King’s Bench, the interminable discussion in Parliament, and all the weaxving com­ plications, both national and interna­ tional, which this vexatious matter in­ volved. And who could say how many individual cases might be held up to the light, which would reflect little credit on his Majestv’s service, and still less on the immediate actors ? “Upon his own side he might plead the countenance of immemorial cus­ tom; bnt would he not be confronted with that brood construction of Engli-h law which is the guarantee of personal liberty ? And besides, would not the Yankee Captain lie abundantly able to prove the naavity of the four impressed men? “Every moment we were getting nearer to Portsmouth and Spithead ; but so. too, vvlh the Rebecca.

CHIU PERU ' Of the estimated Population In 1890: 42.655.977 will reside West of this Line. 22354.186 will reside East of this Line. flaces on the Heavy Line are Equally Distant from Chicago and New York City.—■Races West of this lino are Nearer to Chicago. _ Notes ox the above Chart.—The equal length of the dotted lines extend­ ing from Chicago and New York to any point on the heavy perpendicular Line, show, that all places in the United States weal of the Heavy Line are nearer to Chicago than to Now York. An accurate Railway Map indicates that nearly all places west of the Lfoe. ami even some places east of it, have shorter nnd more direct railwavconnections with Chicago than with New York. For’ex­ ample, Pittsburg, I’m., twelve miles east of the Line, is practically nearer to Chicago en account of the straight and level non-monntainons railwfcT line -westward. Many times more Railways radiate in all directions from Chidago than from New York or Washington. ' THE MONEY IS IN SIGHT. I1 !S The population for -1890, given for each State, is partly estimated from the percentage of increase between 1880 and 1885 ih States taking a census in the latter year, and iu others from the increase between 1870 and 1880. But other circumstances affecting this increase have also been taken into account. Though some of the estimates may vary consideraWy from the actual count in 1890, the variations will be quite’ as great east of the Line as west of it. As the West is much more rapidly populating than the East, there is no doubt whatever that by 1892 much more than two-thirds of nil the people in onr country will be found went ot the Line, and therefore nearer to Chicago. * barber aa liia chafr, writing myself,” he continued, m he filled the reporter’s eyes with lather. “Yea, indited. I’ve written a poem that was published if the Barber/ Journal, and I am at work on a temperance* story that will paralyse the ruinsellers. Shall I repeat it ’’ Aa the barber had by this time be­ gun operations on the reporter’s chin with his rator,. protestation would have been unavailing, and the author^ con­ tinued: “It begins like this: In a lofiely house—a small house furnished taife-L there sat u thin, p'allid woman dressed in meagre garments, through which the cold wind blew in fitful gusts. Around hpr were huddled three thin, pale, half-starved children. There was no food in the pantry, no fuel in the stove. Why was this the care?’ Ah! that’s the question. “In a low grog-shop in the neighbor­ ing hamlet, surrounded by a crowd of drunken men, there sat a being that had once Ix-en’a man. He was besotted with rum. His bloated face was buried in his red hands. *He was asleep. He was a drunkard. Why was ho a drunk­ ard? Ah! that’s the question. “ ‘Mother, why doesn't father come home?’ asked one of the three pale children of the pallid woman in the lonely house. Ah! that’s the question. " ‘I will start out for him aud bring him home, mother,’ exclaimed the child. “ ‘Bravo boy!’ replied the parent, between her sobs. And so into the cold, dark night the fearless child went out. -But why was this midnight and perilous journey necessary ? Ah! that's the question. . “A tap at the door of the grog-shop. A deep mutter among the men whose unlawful amusement it had inter­ rupted., The door opened and the child walked in. “ ‘Fat her!’he cried, as he leaned over tho sleeping wretch, ‘will you come liome with me? Ah! that’s*the ques­ tion. “Father and child—drunken beast und pure innocence—hand in hand pur­ sued their lonely way over the dark and rockv road tkat led to the deserted home. 13 y the side of the patlf was a steep precipice. Here the twain paused. The man sat down to think. What thoughts, think you, were pann­ ing through his rum-crazed brain ? Ah I that’s the question. “They were awful thoughts — thoughts of murder! He had been torn awav from hia haunts by the firm, palehanu of his little .child. His wife had set a spy on hfo track. The insult should be wiped out. But how? Ah! that’s the question. “Five minutes of silent but awful meditation suffice. Starting to hia feet, .the enraged man grasped his little son by the waist, and held him at arm’s length over the steep precipice. “ ‘Father,’murmured the child plain­ tively, ’ahull I ever see mother again ?’ Ah! that’s the question. “ ‘I don’t see why little Johnny does npt come home!" exclaimed the'pallid woman in the lonely house as the first streaks of dawn lit np the empty pantrr shelves. Can any harm have be­ fallen him?* Ah! that's the question. “Dawn saw a pale man, trembling at every joint, gazing with bloodshot eyes over a steep precipice at a little heap of clothes lying on the cruel rocks lielow. The drunkard's brain reeled with horror. Had he murdered his child? Ah! that's the question. “In a solitary cell in the Blackwell Island Insane Asylum there aits a pale, thin man, with long white hair and vacant eyes. All day long he moans aloud, ‘Why di 1 I do it ? Oh! why did ; I do it ?* Ah! my friend, that’s the ques­ tion. “I think that will produce an effect," continued the barber as ho finished the narrative. The story is a true one, and I have written it in poetry as well as in prose. If you will come in to­ morrow I will give you a copy of the verses. Thank you. Very much obliged, sir.

He had returned home from a party about midnight with his wife, aud couldn’t get in.

They probably knew who it waa working at the door, but wanted-io get credit for zeal in defending the domicile from midnight marauders. The Colonel fnmbled away at tho door for some time, now cursing the lock, and again launching imprecations at the dogs, who were likely to awaken tho whole neighborhood. '“Confound this lock—shut up, you whelps!—wish the man who put it on had to swallow— curse the measly dosg! I’ll break tho head of that locksmith—I’ll shqpt every son-of-a-gunof you!” The Colonel’s wife interposed, re­ minding him that swearing was reprehensfble in n man with grown-up daughters; besides that it wouldn’t do any good. In the meantime several windows, and occasionally a voice, had been raided fo the vicifiitv. A truce was called, and a council of war was held to determine what to do. Mrs- Blank said she could get in a back window if she could only gain the roof of the kitchen, and thfc Colonel set himself valiantly to work erecting a staging under the eaves. This was constructed of empty boxes and bar­ rels, surmounted by a tin boiler. On this precarions structure they mounted, but just as he had succeeded in helping her on to the roof tho platform gave way, and the Colonel was sprawling on the' ground, tho dogs redoubling their uproar. Another dilemma arose. His wife fonnd that she was unable to open thewindow, so she wanted to get down. “Stay where vou are, dear,” said tho Colonel, “and I will go fetch a ladder." There was an engine house a couple of blocks away, and there he was able to Ixirrow a ladder. Divesting himself of coat and vest, for it was a warm night and he a fat man, the Colonel started back with bis burden, which was not a light one. Ho met a lot of people going home from the party, and they Ten­ dered what freak the Colonel was up to dow. Some laughed and said tney reckoned the Colonel had drank too much punch at the party.

C. rail­ ways, the Goshen (Ind,) News says • *The result of this sale means that the gap of about 100 miles between Battle Creek and Midland wil be constructed as^soon as possible, to be finished next season at least, giving us direct com­ munication with Bay City and the Srginaw Bay, about 200 miles north of Goshen.” The St. L., S. A B. C. and B. C. A B. C. roads were sold at moi tgage sale Wednesday at Detroit to Henry A. Gardner, of Chicago, the purchaser of the C. A St. L. road in Indiana, the price paid therefore being a total of <570,000, or <390,000 for -_.mer road and <180,000 for the latter. This' tra naaction insures an early comple­ tion of the line from this city to Bay City and leaves matters in a very satis­ factory shape as far as the new road is concerned. It is not probable that there will be anything done this year in the way of construction on the line from here to Bay City, but it is almost certain that tbe lower end of the road will be completed and tbe southern connections for St. Louis made as soon as tbe work can be completed.—Sun­ day Morning Call. A number of Nashville musicians took part in the concert given by Miss Jones, at Hastings, last night. Miss Hortense Osman and George Bell each sang a solo, and Miss Mabie Selleck rendered several pieces of instru­ mental music. Several more suits this week against delinquents who are from three to ten years in arrears and won’t pay. We can’t help it. We must have the money or go under, and when we can’t get our pay nor even a promise to pay, it is the only thing left for us to do. The several days of cold weather we have bad this week have called forth some curious combinations of wearing apparel. Straw bats and overcoats, fur caps and seersucker costs, and one man has been wearing a dqjefted look and the soles off from an old pair of hob nailed shoes. Fred Downs, a fifteen-year-old son of Steve Downs, got his hand caught in the jointer at Lentz A Son’s furni­ ture factory Saturday afternoon and when he took his hand out discovered that he bad but three fingers on that hand and one of them was in a pre­ carious condition. The Bullis district, Johnstown, prides itself on having one of the very best schools in the county. It is being taueht by Miss Mary E.

ARTHUR ’Hartwellof tlieUnuan army had rarceivtd a wound in limbs trembled from fatigus. Ha stood oiiioaike skirmishing parties had sun>ri»ed \ each other on tho fiKOyT* White River in Ar■K gjl aHl kannas. . M/t fV>» However, the young officer was ODO now sufficiently convalescent ■Sal .to mount his jet-black war MM'horet and ride about the -tuKrnp for exercise. He hoped noon tojpet himself into fighting trim egailK'^xin wa- a zealous, courageous young soldier, and he could not endure with patience his enforced inactivity. Hearing that excellent wild fruit abounded in the woods about one mile and a half from the Federal camp, Hartwell determined to ride over and enjoy a delicious treat. While riding leisurely along through a largo canebrake, midway between the camp and tho woods to which hewas bound, ho was surprised and cap­ tured by a band of rough guerrillas who had been reconnoitering the ene­ my’s position from a safe distance. Tho Union spies had reported only that morning that there were no ene­ mies within ten miles of their own lines. So Hartwell had ridden off alone, never dreaming of what was to befall him. He had been riding carelessly along, inadvertently whistling some little tune heard at camp, and think­ ing of the dear old mother far away in her cabin on the Kansas line. Suddenly his horse was stopped, his arms were pinioned to his sides by brawny hands, while villainous, hard­ ened countenances leered upon him. “Don’t yer chip n^ry word, or by ther holy smokin’ powers o’ t'other world, I’ll send a bullet clean through yer durned Yankee carcass," said one ro­ bust guerrilla, holding an old musket threateningly near the captive’s hand­ some head. Hartwell was too completely sur­ prised to frame an answer. The guer­ rillas surged about him wild with glee over their great capture. A Yankee officer wan not picked up every day. Their rejoicing, uncouth and profane, rendered them for a short time in­ cautious. The tramp, tramp of com­ ing horsemen threw the jubilant band of four guerrillas into considerable ex­ citement. In a moment every mon was quiet and on his guard. Instinc­ tively, each rough fellow sought inusket or carbine, tho rifled property of some dead soldier. Every eye was turned in the direc­ tion of the approaching riders. That there were not more than two or three could easily be told from the sounds that the horses’ feet made on the hard, clay-baked rood by the canes. Lieutenant Hartwell was for the mo­ ment forgotten. Were those riders weare-sof the blue or the gray? _ The tall, dense, intervening canes prevent­ ed an answer to that mute question., Three guerrillas had stationed them­ selves behind clumps of vegetation, while the fourth held Hartwell's horse with his left hand, his right grasping a carbint. It was a favorable moment for Lieu­ tenant Hartwell. He recognized it a** such. While the short absorption of the guerrillas* attention lasted, Hart­ well, quick as a wink, slipped from the saddle, and, ere his captors were aware, with far more agility than his weak physical condition would seem to war­ rant, he had darted off through the towering canes, where a horse could not follow. Tho guerrillas, so absorbed in await­ ing the approach of the invisible horse­ men, did not for a moment observe the empty saddle. Then, with a smother­ ed oath, the one holding the officer’s horse struck him a severe blow to make him stand aside. The spirited animal resented the blow, and with a savage lunge the bridle-rein was jerked from the grasp of the irate man who was thrown hardly to the ground, where he lay half stunned as the Lieuten­ ant’s fiery horse went tearing away down the road. Then the horsemen lode into view. An exclamation ot rude pleasure fell from the lips of the guerrillas. The grips on the carbines loosened. They recognized in the newcomers two of their own men, who were ^deserters from Van Dorn’s ranks, although they still wore the gray. These men were soon informed of the capture and sud­ den escape of tho Federal officer. “Jes’ plum like a blamed Yankee," remarked one of the newcomers. “They’re all slicker *n a eel; they’ll any of 'em squeeze through a knot-hole ef they’re gin half a chance.” “Waal, I Hortain believe yer,” said the leader, who had menaced HartweM; "but he kain’t be fur off, boys. Them Yankees kain’t run through a cane-patch no better’n a city gal kin. Lei’s l>e au his trail, an’ not stan’ hyer a-givin’ sich chances ter beat we ’uns.” After a hasty consultation it was de­ cided to conceal the horses iu a grove hard bv, and every enter the pur­ suit, which they felt sure would lead to the recapture of their escaped pris­ oner. Striking into the cane-brake, they were noon on the Lieutenant's track, which led through the intricacies of the tldckct. Meanwhile, Arthur Hartwell was making gigantic strides through the bosky brake, stumbling over clinging vines, which were densely entangled about the canes; splashing aud dash­ ing into bidden pools of stagnant water; then out again and into another worse than the first, despoiling the polish of his No. T’s and flicking with clsvey splashes his spotless uniform. m.rcwuu sruut uuiuu camp. Where would he seek refuge? His strength waa fadtng. Ha could not keep up the flight any longer. Then ho dared not hide among the canes. Already, in nearing pursuit, he could hear the heavy boots of the guerrillas crushing canes and brambles, leaving no nook unsearched. Just before him, through a grove of cottonwood, walnut, and hickory, all tinged with autumn's russet geld, he caught sight of a handsomer southern home, built of red sandstone, with clambering vines half veiling the front and roof, and beautiful flowers of every variety surrounding it, lending to the entire place the splendid glow and beauty of tropical aspect. It was the homo of some abettor of the Southern cause. Hartwell knew this, and he felt quite sure that if he sought refuge there ho would be handed over to his rough captors, who, if they did not belong to the Confederate service, favored it, while they bitterly opposed tho Federal army. But haste, not debate, was neces­ sary. He could hear the guerrillas drawing nearer; their curses, too, reached him, as non-success at every turn baffled them. They had expected 'SINGING DC A CLEAR, BIRD-LIKE, SO­ PRANO VOICE.” to find it no task st all to run him down. But tho end was not yet. Hart­ well, however, knew that they would soon reach tho southern limit of tho canebrnke; then escape would be im­ possible. . Not pausing to think again that it might prove “out of the frying-pan into the tire." tho hunted officer dashed forward toward the house. Ho leaped over the low, well-trimmed hedge that surrounded the attractive grounds of the lovely Southern home, then he stood motionless and gazed in evident admiration nt tho sweet picture which confronted his vision. A beautiful girl, with plump, grace­ ful figure, wonderful masses of dusky golden tresses Mowing in luxuriant rip­ ples all over her proud little head, and wine-dark eyes starry with mirth and intelligence, was nt work in the yard near the house. She was singing in u clear, bird-like soprano voice some­ thing about a brave lover wearing the gray. Her deft, snowy fingers un­ pinned from a clothes-line, stretched from an Indian peach-tree near the house to a stout cherry iu the corner of the yard, miscellaneous article.} of muslin. These she deposited into a large, old-fashioned clothes-basket that rested on the soft, velvety grass at her feet. In another moment Lieut. Hartwell stood uncovered before this fair South­ ern girl, bowing with the urbanity of a perfect gentleman. The song ceased, and Elma Starlton Kve a start when she discovered the ndsomo Union officer bowing so po­ litely before her. “Pardon me,” he uttered rapidly; “I did not wish to startle you." Then he briefly mentioned his cap­ ture by the guerrillas and how he had escaped, ending by entreating her to ! show him, if possible, some secure hid­ ing-place. Would .she heed his im­ portunity? Elma Starlton had two brothers and ! a father, jn the Confederate service. This man was an enemy to the dear Southern cause. Would it be right to assist* him in his efforts to avoid re­ capture? Would it not be the very height of disloyalty in her to hide this Federal officer' on" the Starlton prem­ ises? The girl thought rapidly, one hand, taautiful and shapely, resting on the clothes-line, the other dropped nt her aide. he pale but firm face of th had applied to her for aid. rare so blue and manly, his ___ JU____________ noble, her warm heart felt a throb of pity. His capton were not soldiers but swamp guerrillas—a bold, evildisposed band. She had quite forgot­ ten that he had told her that. Elma ante to "the demand which his really Starlton was not in sympathy with the Mperate effort to escajm enforced. guerrillas infesting the swamps aod till, on he hurried. ■ The early autumn day wan intensely ticolar spite toward that spot, aud ’ man’s ikedtiu awaiting his -'doom or his salvation at her fair hand*. Yea; she would save him. But how? Ah I it is surely too late to help him to escape recapture. See! two of tho guerrillas have started toward the Douse, leaving the others in consulta­ tion at tho border of the grove. In another moment they will hare seen the hunted man, screened by the clothes on the line. On they stalk to­ ward the house. Elma is a girl of ingenuity, one ac­ customed to acting in emergencies. She will foil those rough outlaws yet. It is not too late. “Here," she said, in a very low voice, and she quickly lifted the clothes which sholiad thrown into th? capacious bas­ ket, “if you will lie down in mv old clothes-basket I think I shall be*able to hide you securely." Very obediently, very quickly Ar­ thur Hartwell coiled himself up in Elma Starlton's clothes-basket, and very skillfully she covered him com­ pletely with the clothes she held. Then she went on unpinning clothes from tho line, which she threw loosely upon the basket. No one would have guessed there was a man beneath that mass of clean clothes. Elma was ogain singing as merrily as a lark when tho guerrillas drew near. One of them bounded over the hedge. He approached the girl, who gave a well-feigned start, greeting him thus: “Ike Carter! What do vou mean by startling a body this way?" She know him well, as his homo was not far from the Start ton s'. "Didn't go ter startle yer, Miss Elmy; Pm on ther hunt of a blamed Yankee off’ccr what’s escaped us." - “Wall, Ike. we’re not in the habit of entertaining Yankee officers hero un­ less we are obliged, to. It is not a good place to hunt for them on the Starlton premises." “I know hit ain’t, Elmy," said the fellow; “but we tracked him this away," he explained. “How did he escape you, Ike?" she asked, trying to show an interest in the subject. Doping thereby to allay any auspiofon that might have been formed in tho guerrillas* minds. Tho guerrilla launched out a full ac­ count of tbo capture and escape of Lieutenant Hartwell Elma listened as attentively as if it were all a now storv to her. “As we-uns was consultin’ in yon grove, Pete Jarvis 'lowed he done seed a blue uniform, or somethin' thet looked mighty like one, over hyar by these clothes. Tlffit’s why I come hyar a botherin' you-uns.” ' A musical laugh followed this an­ nouncement. Then Elma said: “An optical illusion. I suppose it was mother’s blue muslin curtains that Jarvis took fora Yankee uniform." And Elma held up to view a pair of pretty blue curtains. Ike’ Carter eyed them closely, then glanced at the overladen basket ou the grass, then back at the girl who was smoothing the azure curtains. “Hain't Pete Jarvis a good un ter sight Yanks? No wonder we-uns done los* his trail with sich a leader as Pete. I’m plumb sorry, Miss Elmy, thot he insulted them curtains thet away, by takin’ ’em fur a Yank’s trousers.’’ And Ike Carter laughed at what he oonridered a clever joke. “I should think," the girl remarked dryly. “Ike, tell your party, with my compliments, that I think "their eyes must be full of cobwebs brushed from the canes. Tell them to wash them out aud make another investigation of the thicket," she called to him as he strode awav, looking rather crestfallen; for Ike had seen what Jarvis hod, and both hud decided it must be Hartwell’s uniform. But Jarvis being absent had to bear the ridicule. Ike Carter could not stand it to have the bright South­ ern girl laugh at his blunders. Dear reader, you and I know that it was a glimpse of a blue uniform that those guerrillas had caught. But we can smile over the cleverness of Elma Starlton in turning it off so nicely, and heave a deep sigh of full'gladncss that her mother had those blue curtains, and that they happened to be in the wash that week. The guerillas went off, aud evidently .felt too sheepish over their mistake to venture within range of those mocking, dancing, wine-da-k eyes, tor they did not return.

One of the Chicagoans returned from Portland with a unique story. A small boy said to his mother: * “Mother, give me money to go to the circus." • “No, I can't let you go there." “Then let me have a tooth pulled; I summer resort, but Cushing's Island has a brainy element, and its visitors want to do something." There are many beoqtiful things to are not judged by ordinary standards. The artists and pupils who came here be seen about Cushing's Island, but from the West have had but since the among the living pictures few call out first of Julv in which to prepare the as much admiration as is bestowed many sketches now on exhibition. The upon “the pretty girl," as she is called pictures have been placed in the hotel by the msnv who have eyes for the reading-room. The sketches include beautiful. Tho "pretty girl" is Miss water-colors, oil paintings, and studies Lilia Wittredge, of Lynn, Moss., who came here with her mother. Miss Wittredge has been likened unto a wild rose, she is so fair to look upon. She is of the brunette type, with dark, lustrous eyes, a plentiful supply of black hair, a complexion that is rich and rare, defying description. Miss Wittredge is about 17 years of age, but is nevertheless a belle. has an immense “repertoireof dressed,” in the selection of which she has 4hown not only startling originality but exquisite taste. The professional/artists have thus far been unsuccessful in getting Miss Wittredge to pose for them, but here is an attempt at a portrait taken in charcoal and pencil. Some of them have been so meritorious as to meet with immediate purchasers. Many of the sketches shown are the work of be­ ginners, who hove begun well. Many of them never did any outdoor sketch­ ing before. It is remarkable that there is an absence of figures and flowers— unless exception be made to the study of a head for which pretty little Edith Sexton posed. The two little Sexton girls are excellent models, and would prove valuable aids to any artist who cared to paint a picture representing the two little English princes in the tower.

The parties to the contract were Moy Sing, a disciple of Confucius, and Miss Ida Wagner, a comely German girl from Streotor. The ceremony was performed in a room richly hung in Oriental trappings, near Hip' "Lung's Hotel. There wore present a score or more Chinese, a few of whom had wivei of Anglo-Saxon blood. All were in holiday attire, and when the marital knot was tied there was a general rejoicing. The rites were pronounced after the manner set forth in the statute books of the State of Illinois. The performance was soon over, and then the friends gathered about to congratulate the newly wfedded pair, just as Americans do. ’ Then a queer little orchestra, consisting of four Celestials, performed on several odd­ looking stringed instruments and a tom-tom or gong, producing a weird kind of music. There was nothing elaborate in the dress either of tbe bride or groom. Moy Sing wore a royal Earpie silk robe, with the usual flowig sleeves and wide skirt, while his bnde appeared in a suit of India silk. At the conclusion the groom led his bride to Hip Lung’s hotel, at 223 South Clark street, where he h^j rented a suite of rooms. It is an eminently re8}>ectable house, and is known to the Chinese from San Francisco to New York as the resort of the silk stocking element of Mongolian society in Chi­ cago. In this hotel two other China­ men with American wires occupy apartments, and the advent of a third white woman was duly celebrated. The groom, Moy Sing, is a native of Canton, and is 23 years of age. He is a dgarnisker in the employ of Sam Moy. It is said that Mr. Sing met Miss Wagner in Streator some years ago while he was conducting a launjrv there.—Chicago Inter Ocean ences on the boat.

She sat down on the floor and stared at the brass bedstead. It was just as bright and just as pretty, and had just as many balls on it, but—wonderful, most wonderful .'—it was at least three times as big as it had been when she got out of it in the morning. Never­ theless, it did not seem in the least proud or stuck up, but stood there very quietly. “Beddy, dear,” said Lucy, “how you have growed?” But the bedstead made no replv. “Beddy, dear,” she went on, “if you had only* told me this morning I would have tried to- grow, too, if you had showed mo how.

I pray, And give me my morning elixir.'- Iowa’s Walled Lake. The greatest wonder in the State of Iowa, and perhaps any State, is what is called the “Walled Lake,” in Wright County, twelve miles north of the Dubuque and Pacific Railway, and 150 miles west of Dubuque city. The lake is from two to three feet higher than the earth’s surface. In some places the wall is ten feet high, fifteen feet wide at the bottom, and five feet wide on top. The atones used in its construction vary in weight from three tons down to 100 pounds. There is an abundance of .stones in Wright County, but surrounding tho lake to the extent of five or ten miles there are none. No one can form an idea as to the means employed to bring them to the spot or who constructed it. Around the entire lake is a belt of woodland half a mile in width, oomposed of oak. The trees must have been planted there at the time of 4he building of the wall. Iu the spring of the year 1856 there was a great storm, and the ice on the lake broke the wall in several places, and the farmers in tho vicinity were compelled to repair the damages to prevent inundation. The lake occupies a grand surface of 2,800 acres: depth of water as great as twenty-five feet. The water is clear and cold, roil sandy and loamy. It is singular that no'has been 'able to ascertain where tho water comes from nor where it goes, yet it is always clear and treeh.—Burlington (Iowa) Hawk­ eye. ______________________ A reedt individual being told that his coat “looked as if it hadn't had a nap in a dozen rears,” replied: “I beg your pardon, tmt thia coat has been lying in my wardrope two and twenty yean till to-day, and that's time enough to have had a good long nap."

LD Hiram Jordan, a prim­ itive sample of tho rough, outspoken frontiersman, was a Justice of the Peace on tho Raw River, in Kan­ sas, in tho days prior to the sanguinary struggle thst marks such a heart-touch­ ing epoch in tho history of our country. ‘ This old Justice was froqnently called uj»on to tie the nuptial knot for some very peculiar backwoods couples. One afternoon Hiram was sitting in the door of his dingy, time-blistered eabin, perched upon a bluff overlook­ ing the blue waters of the Kaw. The old fellow was contentedly smoking •way atan old clay pipe,strongly enough impregnated with “long gre6n” to scare off a hungry buzzard from a tan­ ? Tho old Justice was bare-footed, and his well-worn. ■ coarse, blno jeans trousers was rolled pretty well up to the knees, disclosing unlovely, sinewy ankles. Ho was costless and suspendor- Hiram wore neither in tho summer limo. His shirt was of tho thinner quality of bed-ticking stuff, and made after tsomo nondescript stylo unknown east of tho Missouri Biver. He was bare-headed, and tho recreant breezes that blew up tho Kaw Valley rufiled the thin, long locks of reddish hair on his fat, slock pate aud played hide and seek among the sandy Bristles of his stumpy beard. Old Hiram was a bachelor, and Have the old bound stretched in profound •lumber at his feet, ho had no com­ panion. But ho was well used to his Isolation from society, and if ho ever yeared for a companion of tho opposite ■ex, he kept his wish jealously locked in his own heart., Perhaps the core­ monies that he performed for his Kaw Valley neighbors were sufficient for him, and diverted his thoughts from himself in a state of connubialism. It ia proverbial of u carpenter that he never attends to his own house, and it may be that a man whose business it is to marry others never devotes his | thoughts to his own marriage. But be that as it mar, old Hiram was a single unin on the shady side of fifty. The Justice puffed away at his -■hort-eteturned pipe, aud gazed with -•vident complacence down the pic• tureeque valley through which the Kaw wound its placid way. Suddenly 'Bi* contemplation of Nature's superb painting before him is disturbed. An odd-looking young cou^lo on horseback have ridden up tho bluff ■ and approached tho cabin of tho Jus­ tice.

Thurston, the well-knowu Republican leader of Nebraska, was stumping tho State in an important campaign, says the New York Tribune, ho inclndea its extreme western part, then a decid­ edly wild region, in his circuit. Ho was proceeding by stage to Sidney ouo day when they stopped at n little sta­ tion to change horses. While this im­ portant operation was going on, a large, determined-looking man, whose most conspicuous article of clothing was a big revolver, approached the stage cautiously, and, while occasionaUy glancing nervously ataAinall buildiug, some hundred yards away, witha large sign of “postoffico” on it, ho inquired for Mr. Thuraton. That gentleman made himself known, and the stranger said: “You speak down at Sidney to-night, hear." “Yes, I expect to." “I reckon I’ll come down with my partition aud do a little work.” “What is vour petition for?" in­ quired tho judge. “The jiostofiice up there," and the man pointed at it with his thumb. “Is there a good prospect that you will get it?" “You bet—I'm sure of it, but I lowed a few more names wouldn’t do no hurt. When I got it there's goin' to be doggondeat biggest change you ever seen in a win all tilane ” “Why, I ain’t had a letter out o’ that air office for over two years.” “Why not?” “The dinged critter (hat has it now says he will shoot me on sight, and you bet he’d do it, too, so I lay mighty low.

I didn't touch none of his steen till he prove it. But jess you wait till my commission gets hero and I get hold of that office.

Wno Can Afford Expensive Habits! “Two things I could neverafford are getting shaved by a barber and smok­ ing cigars," remarked a wealthy Trojan recently. As he is also abstemious in an alcoholic sense, and declines to par­ take of even a glass of beer, wo infer that he thinks he can not afford liquid luxuries. And yet he lives in an ele­ gant house, drives fine horses before costly equipages, and has a handsome income. Isn’t it curious that he is la­ boring under the hallucination that he can not afford luxuries which many a dollar-a day clerk indulges iu exten­ sively ? The man is honest. He really thinks he can not afford to drink whisky, smoke cigars, or get shaved— lass of time waiting at liarber-shons being his principal objection to the latter practice. He doesn't understand what an educational and news center a barber-shop is. On other subjects this Trojan is perfectly sane, aud we might say sagacious, for’in spite of these hal­ lucinations ho developed himself from a j»ennilex* boy into a man of wealth.

Taking a stroll a few day* after, Mr. Kemp was surprised and de­ lighted to fimf the applicant flourish­ ing. He was sitting at a bootblack stand, smoking a cigar and having hi* boots jiolished. From beggary he had reached that point in a few brief days where he could afford the luxuries named. All he needs is a little sub­ stantial encouragement from openpocketed men like Mr. Kemp to be­ come a leisurely man about town, and a welcome and valued patron of boot­ blocks, beenhops, ami rigar-stands. With such an example of what a mere mendicant can afford, the rich man must blush to acknowledge the frugal remark with which this article is intro­ duced.

BOOTS AND SHOES Have become so well-known to tbe public, and have been so thoroughly tested that it is superfluous to praise them to those who are familiar with their many excellent qualities. To those who have not tried them we say, they are better beyond comparison than any other boot and shoe made. Their great success and an ever-increasing demand speaks more than anything we could say in their favor. The Grand Rapids Hand-Made Boots and Shoes are thoroughly good in every particular, made from Selected Stock and no Paste Board, Leather Board, Paper or any other deleterious stock in them; and as the only au­ thorized agents of the Grand Rapids Hand-Made Boots and Shoes we are instructed to warrant every pair.

As I am much interested jn telegraphy, and I had a ’circular letter of introduction from Sir James Anderson, the man­ aging director of tho Eastern Exten­ sion Telegraph Company, I determin­ ed to pay these exiled electricians a visit And then I learned that twelve* years ago an operator had shot a tiger that liad come on tho veranda aud looked in at the window while ho was at work, and that three months ago another had been killed in a more or­ thodox way. So. when the next steamer of the Messagerics Maritimes picked up her pilot at 4 a. m., off Cape St. James, I tumbled with my things into his boat and rowed ashore as the ihip’s sidelights disappeared in the distance and the lighthouse began to grow pale in the sunrise. Next morning an Annamite hunter who had been sent out by Mr. Lang­ don, the Superintendent of the sta­ tion, to look for tracks, returned and reported that he had builta“mirador," and we were to make our first attempt that evening. At 5:30 that afternoon we-started, Mitt (that was his name or nickname) walking and running ahead, and I following him on a pony. We ■were on a small rising ground, dotted with bushes, in the middle of a rough tangle of forest and brushwood. I looked for the “mirador," and, not finding it, I veiled an inquiry into Mitt’s ear (for he was tone deaf I. He pointed to a tree fifty yards away, and I saw how . .rvelo'usiy he had con­ cealed it. He had chosen two slim trees growing four feet apart; behind these he had planted two bamboos at the other corners of the square, and then he had led two or three thickly leaved creepers from the ground, anil wound them in and around and over a tittle platform and roof, till he had made a perfect nest of live foliage. The floor was about twenty feet from the ground, and it looked perilously fragile to hold two men. But it was a masterpiece of hunting-craft. In re­ sponse to n peculiar cry from Mitt, two native* appeared with a little black pig alung on a pole, yelling lustily. The “mirador" (or “mechan," as I believe it is called in India i overlooked a slight depression in which an oblong pond had been constructed for the buffaloes to wallow in, as tho ugly brutes can not work unless they arc allowed to soak themselves two or three times a day. By the side of this Master Piggy was securely fastened, neck and heels, to his infinite disgust. Then the two natives took themselves off with their pole, Mitt gave me a “leg up" into the mirador," which shook and swajed as we climbed gingerly in, and wo ar- 4) ....... . ........

The rest, and xe sharp eyes of mv companion to rely pon, made me doubly attentive, and I atehed every twig. Suddenly, in perfect silence and withpool. It waa like the swoop past i owl in the starlight, like the »w of a iNMaing bird, utterly noise- my tlio pig who bad woke to find himself in the clutches of the tiger, and the effect on nerves strained in silence to their utmost tension was electrical. I «hal! never forget that moment. The tiger was there before me. he had the pig in his grasp, in an­ other second he would probably be gone. And I could see nothing, abso­ lutely nothing. It was pitch dark in the depression whore he was standing, and I might a* well have fired with my eyes shut. Stare as I would, I could not distinguish the least thing at which to aim. And all the time the pig was veiling laud enough to wake the dead. Suddenly I saw the same black shadow pass up tho little incline for a dozen yards. The pig’s screams dropped in­ to a long howl My heart sank. Had the tiger gone? No, for an instant af­ terward ihe shadow shot down the slope again and the yells broke out afresh. The situation 'was agonizing. I could hardly resist the temptation to fire both barrehi at random into the darkness. Do I’see something? Yes, .the black mass'-of the pig, spinning head over heels on his ropes like a butterfly on a pin. And just above him a very pale faint curved line of white. It is the white horseshoe of the tiger’s chest, and the inside of his forelegs, as he has turned for a moment in my dii ection. Now or never. A last glance down the almost indistinguishable bar­ rels, and I press the trigger. Tho blinding flash lenp.s out, the answering roar scares even the terrified pig into silence, and a blue veil of smoke, hid­ ing everything, hangs before ns. Mitt turned toward me with interrogation or reproach iu his eyes, and shook his head doubtfully. ' For two minutes we sat and listened. Then a long; hard-drawn breath, ex­ pelled in a painful, heavy sigh, camo out of the bushes on our right. I never heard a sweeter sound - in my life. It meant that the tiger was hit so badly that he could not get away at once, and evidently hit somewhere about his lungs. Every two minutes for half an hour this sobbing sigh w*s audible. Then it ceased, but no matter. If ho was hurt as badly as that we should get him for certain. So I lighted my pi|>e and tried to wait patiently for daylight. It was so long in coming that 1 liegan to think the sun had over­ slept itself, but at lost at 5 o’clock we climbed down and stretched our cramped" limbs; the coolie arrived at almost the same minute with the pony, the two natives returned with their pole, and we started out to reconnoiter. First, os to the pig. Instead of being half eaten, as we supposed, he was all right except for five long scratches down one side, where the tiger had ev­ idently put out liis paw and felt of him with a natural curiosity as to what ho was doing there. Just behind him were two deep footprints. That was all. No blood, no tracks, and we looked cautiously round without seeing a sign. Fifty yards away there was a stretch of grass three feet high where he was very likely to be hidden. Where could the tiger be, anyway ? Mitt and I walked over to the edge of the gross and looked carefully all along it for tracks. That moment came very near being the last for one of ns. While we were peering about the tiger suddenly sat up in the grass not ten feet from us, and, with a tremendous roar, sprang clean out into the open. He was so near that it was out of tho question to shoot. If I had flung my rifle forward it would have fallen on him. I could? see his white teeth dis­ tinctly and the red gap of his throat. I remember even at that moment won­ dering how he could possibly ojieu his mouth so wide. Mitt and I were, per­ haps, ten yards apart, and the tiger leaped out midway between us. In­ stinctively thp Annamite made a wild rush awaV on his side and I on mine. The tiger had evidently walked just far eiu&gh into the grass to lie hidden and had then lain down. His presence there took u* so completely by sur­ prise that we were helpless. I may as well confess that my state of mind at that moment was one of dreadful funk. If the tiger had been slightly less wounded than he was, it is perfectly certain that in another instant he would have killed one or the other of us. We had not the remotest chance of escaping him by running away. But his first spring was evi­ dently all he could manage, for ho turned immediately aud sneaked back into the cover. Mitt fired into the moving grass after him, in spit* of my shouted protesta, tearing a piece of skin off his flank, vs we afterward dis­ covered. We took five minutes to re­ cover from our scare, and then, as the beast was practically helpless, we followed him through the axafie. After a hundred yards, his grows brought us up short again. I sent Mitt up a tree, and he reported the sight of his head. Bo I beckoned him down,climbed up myself, pulled up tho rifle after me, and there I could distinctly see the tiger alraut seventy yards away, sitting on his haunches, with hi* back toward me. I aimed at his spine behind his shoulders, and when the bullet struck he simply got up and turned half round, giving me a splendid chance. My second bullet struck him in exactly’the right place, ami he made a grab with his mouth when it entered, then spun round three or four times, like a terrier chasing his tail, and fell in a Imp. At this moment the three other I men, who had not gone home after all, arrived o:. their jxiniwt, so we walkad carefully up to him in line.

The Emperor, we were told . by our informant, hod given Loris Melikoff unbounded power to act against the nihilist*, and had virtually created him Vice Emperor, a* Melikoff himself used to My. Now, Melikoff had discovered that one of tho leading nihilist chief* wa* in the habit of fre­ quently visiting Count Tolstoi, tho novelist, and one day he went out to Tolstoi’s country house. Before the visitor had announced himself, Tolstoi recognized him, and said: . “lou are Lmla Melikoff, chief of the Third Section. Do you come to see me officially, or as a private man ? If you come officially, here are my keys; search; open everything. You aro free." . • “I come not officially,” replied Meli­ koff. “Very good,” answered Tolstoi, and calling' two mnjik* he said to them: “Throw this man out of the house." The mujik* obeyed Tolstoi to the letter, and Loria Melikoff had to ac­ cept this treatment, for in his way Tolstoi is a mightier man than even “our father the Czar.” In the eyes of the Russian people he i* an exceptional being, being more than a saint and al­ most a savior. Tho mention of Loris Melikoff brought up another anecdote. Some twelve years ago the Emperor sent for Melikoff and annouced to him that the plague was raging in two village* of the empire, and ordered him to do whatever was needful with n view to stopping its ravages, nt tho same time ginng him unlimited, power*. Thereu]>ou Loris Mo!fkoff went first of all to tho Minister of Finance, informed him that ho should per­ haps require a great deal of money in order to carry out tire Emperor’s commands, and demanded a credit of 50,000,000 of rubles. The Minister of Finance madg a long face, but was un­ able to refuse. Loris Melikoff then posted to the village in question, and, haring observed the situation, he tele­ graphed for twentv fire-engines to be seut from the neighboring towns, had the pumps charged with petroleum, and ordered the firemen to approach the village* by night, inundate the cot­ tages with petroleum, set them on fire, and save nobody. The order was exe­ cuted, the cottage* and their few hun­ dred inhabitants—men, women, chil­ dren, and cattle—were burned to ashes, and those two village* disappeared from the map of Russia and from the registers of the empire. The measure was radical, but it stemjxxl out tho plague effectually. Loris Melikoff thereupon reported to the Emperor that his command had l>een executed, and then called on the Minister of Finance to tell him that out of the credit of 50,000,000 of rabies granted to irim he had only spent 200 rubles to buy petroleum, and that consequently his excellency tho Minister could dis­ pose of the balance.—Theodore Child, in Harper’s Magazine. about continually under » wind of anv force.

Tho suburban passenger train which wm wreaked loft tho Rock Island depot at Van Buren street at 6:30 o’clock, with Conductor C. 8. Mills in charge and En­ gineer Parker at the throttle. At 6:19 o'clock the tram had passed Auburn Junc­ tion station nnd had discharged nearly all its passengers. The passenger train was made up of an engine and seven coaches. Just beyond Auburn Junction, at Eighty, seventh street, the rear car is uncoupled to be sent on toWashington ” ‘ Heights, while tho forward cars continue on tbo branch south to Morgan- Park and Blue Island. Tho. train had stopped to letan D incoming train from the Washington Heights branch pass and to uncouple the rear c*r whan freight train No. 91 crashed into the rear. Tho pMsongois in the forward cars were badly frightened, but did not real­ ize the extent of the accident for some time. They heard the crash and felt a alight shock, but did not take in the situ­ ation until the smoke and hissing steam attracted their attention. The greatest confusion followed, and nearly every one rushed from tho trsin. The locomotive hod forced Its way clear inside of the rear coach, and tbe hissing steam and the shrieks of the wounded and imprisoued passengers increased the horror. There were between twenty-five and thirty people on board tho fnted car, and that any of them escaped alive ia a mira­ cle. The passengers from the other cars at once lent a helping hand, and many were saved who but for timely assistance must have succumbed to the scalding steam and choking smoke from the en­ gine. By some at present inexplicable reason. time, ana presumably to this ia tbo sad accident alone due. The track is a straight one at this point, and Engineer Twombley must bars seen tbe passenger ahead some time before he struck it. He says that be reversed his engine immediately and whistled down brakes, but the veloc­ ity of tbo train pfoved too great to be halted in time to avoid the smash-up. According to some of the spectators tho freight was running at the rate of twenty miles an boor. It was a heavily loaded train, and from the fact that the engine crashed almost its whole length into the car without seriously injuring the sides, it must have been running at a high r-te of speed. The bodies of the dead were in a horri­ ble condition, and in some instances were literally cooked. Miss Kelly was so badly scalded that it was almost impossi­ ble to distinguish her features at all. 1 he Deadly Black Damp.

London dispatch: A story from fit Petersburg says that previous to the Czar’s departure for Copenhagen a chest of dynamite exploded at the 1’eterhoff station. Tho buildtag was badly wrecked and a railway signal man was killed. It is fully believed that ths intention was to have tbe explosion take place when tbe Csar passed through the station on bis way to tho train, but that through some miscalculation It oc­ curred before tbe time of His Majesty's departure. Twombly was leaning out ot the cab. he said, and bo could not say whether tho engineer was asleep or not; but bo knew that hl* companion was under the influence of liquor. LaClocbe swore be­ fore tbe jury that be dk!-not seo tho .ad danger signal until within three or four ear-lengths of It. After tho verdict he ad­ mitted that he saw It half a mile away. By his post-verdict confession it appears that both Twombly and LaClocho jumped a* soon as they saw their danger. From oth-r portions of hi* ■ dm inion it seems that Twombly and lACioche, sobered by the accident, walked several .blocks , to­ gether that night and concocted tho sto£y tho fireman told tho jury. Intimations wore given out also that high officials of tho rood had connived at the suppression of tbo facte. WHEAT MUST GU UP.

Tho average net imports for ten years of wheat and flour Into France Is 5,500,‘>00 quarters and wants are placed by tbe United States statistical agent to Europe at 4,000,000 quarters. As to supplier, India shipped a fraction over 4,000,000 quarters in tho last crop year, ana since tbe beginning of tho present crop year, April 1, is nearly 1,000,000 quarters behind last year's movement.

Russia shipped 18,242,000 quar­ ters in 1888. 6,640.000 quarters in 1887, and is looked to for 11,000,000 quarters this year.

A few days ago Thomas Higgins, a break, man, fell from the lop of a moving train, train was stopped and backed up to him it was found that the man was terribly mangled, the head, lying a dozen feet from the body. Firemrn Matthew Bjopicked up the head in order to dispute the remains decently for removaV-hrthe stricken to sec the staring eyes slowly close. In tones of terror ho was telling ■his eoxnpanionv, who were also butty, of tbe strange incident, and all eyes turned •on tbe gory skull which the fireman held in his bauds. -As if consciousness still reposed there, tho closed eyes slowly ^opened again, staring, wide, nnd again •lowly closed, to remain so forever.

The charge was indorsed by the afflicted woman’s friends, and when they met on tho street Mrs. Osoaki pro­ ceeded to beat tho evil spirit out of Mrs. Freedowski with a club. She was arTested and appeared in court to answer a ■charge of assault and battery. Her only •defense was that Mrs. Freed owski had bewitched all tbe poor children of the town and wns making them sick.

A little girl of three or four years had gone from her home and spent a large part of -the day with a childless wife. Getting weary, she was kindly and snugly tucked away on the lounge for a nap. Afterward, while quietly engaged iu her household duties, her nap over, the little one awoke, and, sitting up, surprised the lady "by say­ ing with earnest enthusiasm, “You seem just like a mamma."—Boston Traveller. Choo*iuj; a Profession. Twenty years ago Thomas Scott, of Pennsylvania, ono of the shrewdest of railway men, spent a few days in a country village. An active, bright­ faced boy in the house where he board­ ed attracted his notice. He asked the school-master what was the capacity of the lad. “He is dull." was the reply. “Thick­. headed and inca] able, though willing. enough to learn. " His father wishes to, make a chemist of him, but ho can not master the first phinciples of tho( science." Mr. Scott, watching the lad. observ­. ed that in tho affairs of daily life hie, judgment was clear and just’, and bis। observation keen. Ho showed, too. ak singular faculty for managing his। school fellows. The boy’s parents! were induced to take him from school, and Mr. Scott gave him work in tho, yard of a railway. “Now," he said, “you have no longer. to deal with books, but with things। and men. Make you? own way. I be­, lieve you can do it.” It was the first time the boy hod[ been told that ho was not wholly a, dolt. He proved to l>o energetic, in­. telligent, end enthusiastic ia his work. There was a certain firmness aud cor­. diality in his manner which gave him control over his associates. He was, soon sent out upon the road in chaige, of a gang of men. A few years later, when Mr. Scott came that way again, the young mau was superintendent of1 a division. He afterward rose steadily to the front rank in his profession. ' A boy is too apt to be influenced in tho choice of his life-work by some ac­ cident or petty motive. His father. and grandfather have been successful physicians, or manufacturers, or. -butchers, and it seems natural and right for him to fallow in their foot-. ateps. Or his intimate friend at col­. lege Ls going to study law, and he must, do the same. Sometimes a pious father and moth­. er cherish a fond hope that the boy■ will devote his life to preaching the, gospel, and, rather thau disapi>oiut; them, he does it, with no fitnias nor. real zeal for tho work. In each case the lad’s life is a failure! for the want of a little deliberation and a careful examination of his natural abilities. Among our readers there are tens of। thousands of boys who must soon make choice of their profession or■ trade, one of tho most momentous। earthly questions which will be set be­ fore them. Don’t l»e in a hurry, lioys. Do not let an accident decide for you. Do not choose an occupation because it is1 more “genteel" than others. It is the1 man who gives character and dignity to Ids occupation, as to his clothes. Do not think because you were rated dull nt school that there is no honor­ able place in tho world for you. There are talents and powers wh’iqJT do not deal with books. God sends no man into the world without providing an occupation for him in which he nmy earn respect. You have yours. Bui toko care that the* work is that far which the tool is fitted. The mere fact that the work seems pleasant and attractive to you does not prove that it is fitted to your faculties. You msv bo ambitious, but you cannot climb a lad­ der without feet and hands. Learn the strength of your feet and hands, find the right ladder, and then trust only in God and to yourself to make yonr way up it. —Ex-Senator Ferry bos gone to Utah to visit his brother, Edward P.

Loa» uuum He was’ twisting and snapping his fingers with some nervousness as ho walked along, and I have learned since that this is his in­ variable habit. It is tho only outward sign of what is-said to be an exceed­ ingly nervous tcmjierament—a tem­ perament kept in control by nn iron will. . ’ The political ride of tho Marquis’ character is well euough known. So­ cially, ho is an amiable host, and en­ tertains lavishly, both at Hatfield and in London. He’ is, above all, a aerions man, and his quiet, reserved, and al­ most sullen demeanor impresses one os being ~moro“or” iesiT affected "at ■ times. At a cabinet meeting he is invaria­ bly find to arrive and tho first to de­ part. He listens to his advisers with studied quiet and entire courtesy, and then makes a little speech, puts tho responsibility whore it belongs, dele­ gates what action is to bo pursued, closes his -brand-new blotter, pushes his fresh stick of seaHng-wax and newly sharpened pencils aside, ai.d rir-es and departs. The.premier rises at eight o’clock, and invarUblv takes a walk before breakfast. When at his magnificent country estate he goes out in his park, and very often reels off three or four miles before taking his coffee. Like many other prominent political lights, from Bismarck nnd Gladstone down, the Marquis is a very light eater. Ho ^breakfasts at nine, and at least COO days in the year tho meal conri-staonly of a rasher of bacon and a poached egg. At luncheon and dinner he is apt to take a glass of light red wine, but as often as not he goes entirely without­ drink of any sort. Ho has one hobby, and that is an in­ tense aversion to smoking. Even his own sons never approach him when nuffing a cigarette or a cigar. Unliko most public men, the Marquis is in­ visible even to his Secretaries or stenog­ raphers in the morning. From break­ fast until 1 or 2 o’clock he is absolutely alone, and it is at these hours that ho indulges in whatever medhation char­ acterizes his life. He has three personal secretaries, and their work is so thoroughly graded that only a very small proportion of the communica­ tions addressed to the Prime Minister aro actually laid before him for con­ sideration. Lady Salisbury attends to all the social details of his life, and all the work that he does in the way of seeing jieople and attending to "the actual business of hia office is transacted in the course of two or three hours in the afternoon. In tho club, as well as in Downing street aud nt home, the Marquis in­ variably addresses the servants with the utmost courtesy. It is always: “Flease hand me this-- ” “I’ll thank you for that.” It may strike an Ameri­ can that snch a char'acteristnr-like this is not worth noting. He may, indeed, think it is a matter of course among Englishmen of title, but it is not, by a very largo majority. The aversion of the Marquis to be gazed at or noticed iu the streets is so extreme that he very often emulates the Prince of Wales aud takes a pub­ lie hansom instead of the showy pri­ vate carriage iu which he is expected to drive. It is said that that which his con­ freres dread most is the moment when the Primo Minister makes up his mind; for, having once reached a con­ viction on anv oue subject, it is almost impossible to move him, no matter how plausible the arguments or how much evidence they may be able to lay before him._________ Indifference to Peril. A Denver gentleman who has been on a camping tour through tho mountains has recently returned and relates an incident which testifies to the state; ment that even the most dangerous callings become ordinary every day affaire to the men engaged in ’them, the element of danger being apparently lost sight of.

In this latter were the driver aud his wife, and. as the passage was narrow and rough, Lberv bwhig urau« Lvuldexo on the side where tho turning out had to be made, hia wife got out of the wagon.

Last year the twenty trunk lines termi­ nating at Chicago brought there in 210.807 .tars. 2.011.543 cattle. calves. 4.921.712 'bogs. 1.360.862 sheep, and 55.S33horses. and curried away., to bo slaughtered In other cldcs and towns nnd distributed upon (arms. 968.386 cattle. 23.663 calves. 1,751.82!) hogs. 601.341 sheep, and 52.866 horses, for the transportiGn of which 78.174 cars were required. In addition to this, vast quantities of dressed meat wore ship­ ped- «or which purpose a largo number of refrigerator cars were employed, one single firm of packers owning and operating nearly 2.0)0 of them, to say not rung of the cured meats transported in ordinary cars. None of*tbe railway systems have direct connection with the Yards, which aro reached by a circuit, or belt system of rail­ road. owned aud operated by tho company, and Intersecting them all. The franchises and rights of way were acquired long ago. when the city was small in comparison to its present extent, and property compara­ tively valueless. To secure them now Would be well-nigh Itnpossiblo and would require an outlay ot many millions of dol­ lars. Originally thia belt lino, or transit system, was outside the. city, but recent annexations of territory have brought the greater part of it within the corporate limits. and are fed and watered at certain places on the way. the bill for the same following tho car and being collected with the freight. By whatever railway they arrive the stock-cars are switched upon the transit lino and brought st once to the yards.whore their living freight is unloaded and placed in pent. These pens, which vary In aixa to suit different consignments, nro laid out In divisions and block*, after tho manner of cities, and aro reached by intersecting streets or lanes, furnished with innumera­ ble gates, by thu opening and closing of which stock can readily bo driven to nny desired point. Tho pens are provided with racks and troughs for feeding and watering the stock. Every pen has its own water­ pipe. the supply comingfrpm artesian wells, or which there aro several in the yards, with a tower and pumping system. Tbe unloading, driving, yarding, feed­ ing. watering weighing, reloading, all work in fact, is performed by tho employes of tho Stock Yards Company, who num­ ber more than 1.000. For this -the only charge Is a “yardage fee* of eight cents each for hogs and sheep, and twenty-five cents for tattle. This fee is paid but once, no matter how long the stock may remain on the market. As a further compensation, however, the company charges an exgc»sive price for feed—130 per ton for hay and, SI per bushel for corn. This foe seems’asmall one when it is remembered that It secures every advantage and convenience of what is by far the gruatost market of its "kind ip thu world. Indeed, nothing but tho universal prevalence^ of sys­ tem could render it profitable to tho company. A record ot. every transac­ tion is accurately kept, and all the method and care o[ a bank is employed. so that everything ia done with the greatestrilspatch and tho least possible laLoj^tyrxpense. The offices of the company nro in ATI ar go building, wherein aro also located nearly ail of the various commission flrms'OoIng business at the Yards. These last number over 100. and have connected with them more than 500 different men. The selling and buying is ‘done through the commis­ sion men. When the market is brisk the buyers seek the sellers, and tho reverse There are two daily stock papers pub­ lished at tho Yards—the lirttric and l»ro~ trrt’ Joumat'and the latter has Just erect­ ed a new and very handsome building. The banks transact the financial business. Of these tho National Live Steck Bank is as perfect in its anpointments nnd elegagt in its- fittings as the best of oity banking houses. There Is a fine hotel, the- Transit House, on the grounds. This, together with the restaurant in‘the main building—every­ thing. in fact, except the barber shops and fruit stands, which aro farmed out—is operated by tho company, and. as in the case of feed for the stock, a good round price Is charged for everything. The Block Yards have recently become quite a market for horses. Several Arms operate largo sale-stables there, nnd have auelion sales twice a week. This branch of the business is rapidly increasing. The Htock Yards proper are entered through a rather pretentious stone gate­ way. It is said to have coat $14,000. but hardly seems to justify so large an ex­ penditure. It was not for some years after the yards were opened for business that any consid­ erable amount of slaughtering was done ytoek business was transacted at numerous jmall yards upon her outskirts Tbe pres­ ent yards were built tn 1865 and opened for business on Christmas day ot that year. They are situated about five miles from the businros esnter in the town of Lake, which, in July last, was formally annexed to the city. They ore easy ot nocess. being reached by steam railways and several lines of street cars. The yards mainly cover tho ground from Thirty-ninth street south to Forty-fifth street, and from HaUted st-eet weM to Center avenue. They comprise 330 acres. They can accommodate at one time 2SJXJ0 entile. 1AJ.WJ hogs. 12-lW ih -p and numerous Htalla for th« cover. the othcre being OVtT- Texas and the Territories furnish a largo share of the cattle, except during the win­ ter months, when the receipts aru main y “native.- that in. onttte grown or fattened In IlTnols.

During the month of February, 1853, Seth Damon, of Acton, instituted an action at -law against Gabriel Butter­ worth, of the same town, for the re-' ■covery of thirty thousand dollars, of which he claimed that said Butter­ worth had defrauded him. The circum­ stances were these; Butterworth owned and kept the Erincipal xtoro in Acton, and though e had never been regarded as an ex■emplary gentleman, his honor in busi­ ness had not been impugned. Those who had the faculty of looking upon the undercurrents of human actions ■decided, that he was a man not bound by honor, but who understood the laws of self-interest too well to be guilty of email meannesses in business. JVhat he was capable of doing on a grand scale was not mooted until the occurrence of which I am about to speak. Seth Damon had removed from Ed­ son to Acton in the fall, and had pur­ chased the iron works. Shortly after •concluding the purchase he had a pay­ ment of thirty thousand dollars to make, nnd late on a Saturday after­ noon he arrived from New York with the money—port of it in bank notes «nd part of it in gold. When he arrived he found that the parties to whom the money was to be paid had left town, and would not return till Monday. Mr. Butterworth had the only reliable safety-vault-in town, and to Mr. Butterwofth Damon took the thirty thon­ -sand dollars, asking permission to lodge it in his vault over tho Sabbath, which permission was readily and cheerfully granted. During Sunday night the people of the village were aroused by the alarm •of fire; and upon starting ont.it was found that the alarm came from But­ terworth's store, but Mr. Butterworth Lad l>een active. He lind discovered the fire in season, and, with tho asxist■ance of his boys, had put it out before much damage had been done. Uj»a looking over the premises it was found that^the fire had not only been the ev­ ident work of an incendiary, but that it.had been set in several different places. . “How fortunat?^ said the owner, ■“that I discovered it in season.” But verv soon another discovery was made. The safety-vault had been pro­ ken open, and every dollar it had con­ tained stolen away! Here was alarm and .consternation. Gabriel Butter­ worth seemed fit to go crazy. "For myself I care not,” he cried. *A few hundreds were all I had in there; but my friend had a great sum !” Immediate search for the robber, or robbers, was instituted, and word was sfent far and near to all Sheriffs and their deputies, and to the police of the •cities. Now it had so happened that on that rery Sunday evening — or, I may say, Sunday night, for it was" near midnight—I, John Wateon, had been returning from my brother’s, in Dunstable. I had left my lured team at the stable, and on my way to my boarding-house I passed the atorc of Mr. Butterworth. In the back yard of the store was a horse trough, and. being thirsty, I stepped around that way to get ’a draught of water. As I stooped to drink nt the ■apout of the fountain I sow a gleam of light-through a crevice in the shutters ■of one of the s\ore windows. Cuiioaity impelled me to go and peer through; for I wondered who could be in there at that hour of a Sunday night. The •crevice was quite large, mode by a wearing away of the edges of the abutters where they had been caught by the hooks that held them back when open, and throught it I looked into the store. I looked upon the wall within which the safety-vault was built; and I saw the vault open, and I saw Gabriel Butterworth at- work therein. I saw him put large packagce into his breast pocket, and I saw him bring out two or throe small canvas bags, and net them ujxjn the floor by the door that Ojrenod toward hw dwell­ ing. As I saw him approaching tliis ■outer door a second time I thought he anight come out, and 1 went away. It was an hour afterward that I heard the alarm of fire. And it was not until the following morning that I heard of the robbery of the safe. bod aeen; and also gave him liberty to call upon me for my testimony in pnblic when he should need it. Until I •Uottld be so called upon I was to bold "Dick, put on your shoes.” "Yes. mother, in a minute." “No: do it at once.'’ there in company with Mr. Itarnon, | get rid of me.

Yet this judgment would be incorrect Tha railroader* subjrctcd to the greate-it danger-, and who most frequently lose their live* and limbs, are undoubtedly the switchmen. Of those the general public his little knowledge. We all toe tbe keen-eyed engineer, with his hand upon the steel bar which servo* a* a reiu to occtrol the “iron hois*,” tho fireman shoveling coal, th* conductor making signals, aud tho brakeman turning tbe circle which seta or releases the clamps that retard tbe movement* of the wheel*; but few of us know an thing of the man who transfer car* from track to track and from yard to yard; who break up incoming train*, and who, from many sources, make up others to go out again in tbeir stead. As everybody (with the possible excep­ tion of the New-Yorkers, who ere strug­ gling for tho World's Fair* well knows, Chicago, tho terminal point of more than a score of trunk lines, is tho greatest railroad cantor on tho globe. More trains being there received and dispatched then elsewbere, it becomes the Lest possible place to study the switchman at his task. To select the best hotel in Chicago, tho finest store, the largest grain elevator, or the moat imposing building, is an under­ taking few would care to essay. Tbe same difficulty would confront one who dqsired to point out tho loading railroad switching yards. Many of them aro on •o vast a seals a* to leave the critic ia grave fear of making dlr error if be deaignated any on* of them in particular. Al tbe hum time be would hazard nothing in pronouncing tho-e of the Chicago. Milwaukee, and St. Paul Railway to be quite the equal of any and all others. At Western avenue, three miles back from tbe lake, a great viaduct crosses the tracks of the Northwestern and St. Paul Roads. Here, as evening cluses in and tbe work of making up the trains for Che next day begin*, au animated scone may be witnessed. Th* trails left by light-boarted chll•eren sporting iu tbe first snow of winter would seem scarcely more confused then ■do those lines of intersecting steel rails, which from the viaduct stretch out for two miles and more to the westward. Here, at seven o’clock, tbe hour when the night gang* of switchmen go on duty, and tha hears work begins, half a score and more of huge engine* may be seen, while st tha roun 1-house nearly a* many more are making ready to do their share in the labor* ofnhe night. • Tbe scene from the viaduct is at once imposing and fascinating.

When the draw-bar by means of which cars are coupled together is pulled loose, the situation is described by tho expressive words, “lung out," to which is generally added the bit of profanity most appropriate to th.-situation. A “lungless" car is as useless aa a wagon without a whiffletree to which the horse should be attached. . Chicago railroads demand more of tbeir switchmen than do those of any other city in tbe world. Thia is due to the hun­ dreds of mile* of track, far surpassing that of any other city, with all of which he must be familiar. A single trip frequently takes a crew to hnlfa-aoten yards filled with locomo­ tives and moving trains. They mu*t not only understand tbe different signals in use, out be familiar with nil the time tables as well. A seemingly trifling blunder may destroy much property ana take away numbers ot lives. No very entire cod* of signals which reduce* ac­ disastrous accident has ever occurred in cident* to a minimum. any of the Chicago yards, which fact is Unfortunately there is no universal in itself a high encomium on the fidelity system of .lights nnd signals, though with but few exceptions tho various roads of tho country use tbe code adopted by the convention of freight managers held in the city of Philadelphia a few yeaia ago. Before that time on.ii road had it* own code, Which added to the switchman’s care end danger, since a crew from one yard must often invade others, and must thoroughly understand the different sys­ tems nnd the point* at which they change. The Philadelphia code has'bettered things and largely reduced the list of ac­ cident*. but matters in tnat direction can be still furtner improved, and no doubt this will be brought about at no vary far distant time. It anrely will be if the men who do the actual work in the yards ever come to decide the matter. A* it is, the switchman ia not completely ml nested in the knowledge of bis craft until he knows the meaning of every signal light in each and watchfulness of the profane yej con­ and every one of the numerous Chicago scientious switchmen. yards. One light only has a universal As was stated in tbe outset, tho life of meaning. Red is everywhere the signal a switchman is surrounded by danger. A false sten or loss of balance may cc<a a leg or a hand, while a mixunderstanding a* to a signal or a switch may bring about a horrible death. Long familiarity with danger produces lack of caution, and th* oldest nnd most experienced men often lose their live* or Umbs through sheer thoughtlessness. Few switchmen serve many years without losing some member, a finger at lea«t, and tbe hands of many of them present a decidedly crippled appearance. At a great many of the railway cross­ ings in Chicago flagmen are stationed to warn people of the approach of trains or locomotive*. Of these, who number more than 500. tha great majority have once been switchmen. *nd nearly all of them are crippled in eome way. Many stamp about with a wooden log, while a still larger number hare Uh the one hand of danger.

Young Sothern’s name was first made Edward, but it was changed at the christening to that of Edward. Edwin Booth nnd the elder Sothern were very intimate friends, and when young Sothern was lx>rn the father cho*e Booth, of all his friends, to stand godfather to the boy, . Mr. Booth ac­ cepted the honor, and told a number of his friends, with some pride, that he wa* going to be godfather to Ned Sothern’s son. On© of hia cautious friends asked solemnly if he realized the fearful responsibility he was going to take on himself by accepting the honor. “Hew so?" asked Booth, slightly alarmed. “You will have'to be responsible for the boy’s entire career," answered tbe friend.* Knowing the somewhat erratic disposition of the cider Sothern, this suggestion almost paralyzed Mr. Booth. “Good heavens!" he exclaimed, “I can’t undertake such a reejwnsibility as that for Ned Sothern’s son," aud ho at once telegraphed to Sothern hia re­ grets st being unable to accept the in­ tended honor. Young So:hern’s name was, as a ecusoquence, changed from Edwin to Edward, and now. in view of the young man’* career, both profes­ sionally and socially, Mr. Booth re­ grets that he gave the excuse for | changing the nama. 21,809.708 buxhela the total acreare of corn, 814.077, aud the yield 22, *32.073 du «mis: too bushels: tbe total acreag* acreage ot of oariry. barley. z»>,255,MW, and the total yield 4,455,777 bushels: the total acreage of rye, 19,754, and tbe total yield 301.10* bushels; 3,033 acres of buckwheat yielded 82.5*4 bushel*: 45,656 acre* of ftotatoes yielded 4,0:18,262 bush­ el*; whit* 403.314 acre* of flax produced 3,28", 115 bushel* of flax reed. ” A VIGORduSDOCDMENT.

The writer, from a long association with the Sioux, as hunter, scout, trader, end Deputy United Stales Marshal, thor­ oughly scum ring the Sioux language and a knowledge oj their habits, has been able to gather dils inaccessible to tbe transient or casual observer. The name and fame of Gen.

Lincoln to th* Black Hills, through the very heart of their country, with a part of bis regiment, without firing a The result of this expedition was tho finding of gold in paying quantities in the Black Hills, nnd from that time dates • hatred by the Sioux that only ended with his death. Th* Sioux then foresaw that, iu.a short time, they would lore thoir choicest hunt­ ing-ground*. an ivent which, when consum mated, they traced directly to Gen. Custer.

The Sioux failed to comply with these orders, and in March. 18«G, Gen. George Crook took the field a^ain^t them hated foe, is no longer a subject of-wonder. About the first of June. !67«. tbe *piss who had been *efit out to watch ths movsments of the enemy returned with the new* that Gen. Crook, with a large command and an ally of Crow and Snak* Indians, had appeared on tbe Tongue River. A* soon a* this was learned it waa resolved to send out a party to make a sortie, to di*eov*r their strength and engage them if practicable. This was continued from day to day, in the hope of drawing the enemy into some ground where an ambush could be laid. Thia they came near accomplishing on th* J 1th, and if they had been decoyed into the canyon of tbe Rosebud the fate that awaited Caster woald have fallen on Crook.

In th* midst of all thi* confukion the blood-curdling war-cry of the Bioux sounded on tbeir ear*, and hundreds of painted savages, heretofore hidden by tbe underbrush, sprang up and delivered tbeir galling fire in the front, while R^inin-the-face, from hi* position with- lu* brave*, delivered a raking, murderous fire on their flank.

An intel­ ligent Newfoundland, whose varying shades of thought could be made known to us, would prove anything but a stupid companion, I fancy, while a philosopher speaking Sanscrit to the average uneducated Anglo-Saxon, would certainly not be amusing -for any length of time. To return to our original theme, however, there can be little question but that we are too stoical in onr proud silence as td our real feelings. Let us learn to speak ont more freely, more pleasantly, but, above all, more frank­ ly. to our masculine companions.

Instinctively she is well aware of this unwritten law, andiw-iste tenaciously upon following it wherever it is ]XM*ible. There have been instances known where a woman has made the discov­ ery that her mate was at least half a head below her in height, of her stooj>ing her shoulders, and having the high heels taken off from her shoes, in or­ der to lessen her apparent height, while at the same time she Would en­ deavor to add to her husband's stature by compelling him to wear very high­ heeled Ixxita and the tallest of tall hats. I will merely say that tho spir­ itual analogy of this is a matter of every-day occurrence, so common os to excite no interest. Who among us has not known some bright, sensible, and amiable woman, whose charming abil­ ity socially was wasted or sadly marred by her efforts to soften, smooth over, or in some way make less glaring her husband’s aggressive stupidity, boor­ ish brutality, or irrepressible silliness. He may have been of that goodnatured yet very trying type, the man who merely insists upon making a fonl of himself, bv clownish attempts to display in public a wit he does not possess. Whose laugh but his wife's will ring out “with counterfeited glee” at his flattest, most painfully point­ less, silliest jokes, although the flush of mortification upon her cheek and the shame and pain in her proud eyes corroborate onl» too well what the false ring iu her laugh has betrayed to the careful observer. “Mr. Smith is so funny, he will have his littlo joke,” she says. When she departs with Smith, who is radiant at his own brilliancy, people ask each other how it is possible for such an intelligent woman to be so blind as to fancy her idiotic husband's buffooneiy, genuine wit. Alaa, my friends, she does not fancy it wit, not for one instant.

A Beautiful Souvenir Picture Card Given .WITH EVERY POUND PACKAGE LION COFFEE We have on hand a communication from J. M. Wood, of North Baltimore, Ohio, formerly of this village, bitterly’ opposing the water works. He claims that water works would swamp the town; that we might as well agitate the subject of water works for Mor­ gan as for Nashville; that no man wlir ever pay out a dollar in so small a town, so heavily bonded, unless he hall from the lunatic asylum; and that we might better agitate the sub­ ject of .the equalization of the assess­ ment He claims that the owners 6f small properties in Nashville pay more in proportion than the larger owners, and says the best thing a poor man in Nashville can do is to give his property away if he can find, some one foolish enough to take it, and thus get rid of paying taxes for the rich. It may be that Mr. Wood is right, but we have a better opinion of Nashville than he seems to have. We.pwn a small property in Nashville, and dont kick on our assessment. We believe every poor num in Nashville would earn more thsn enough while the water works are being put in to pay all extra taxes the water works would put on him, and enable him to live comfortably, too. We do not know of a Nashville man who desires to give his property away. Neither do we know of a man in Nashville at present who wants to work that is out of em­ ployment. We want in this town, more than any one thing, nianufacturiqg enterprises, and we believe the properly blended and is conceded by all to make the nicest cup of Coffee in the load.

I would not have mentioned it at all. It isn’t a very long story, bat I think it a very unusu»l one. I met Lois Drayton when my regi­ ment wa* stationed near Wentholt. and we were engaged lor a year. I knowaho loved me; I have never doubted that, though what followed would bars led almost any man to believe her utterly wanting in anvthintr approaching affecl.on.

"We spent a very happy-afternoon in tho great, dusky parlor, and after supper tho Squire took mo out for h long walk, wishing to show me some im­ provements ha had made in drain ace and parking. We left Lois in the ball, talking t«’> an <>ld woman who had come to get some medicine for a sick child. 1 remember that I looked back -when 1 reached tho yard and waved my hand to mv little girl, thinking how sweet and fair aud gentle she looked as she stood listening to tho description ot the child's illness!

"Never to soe her again ?" echoed Arthur Hazard, as his friend paused. •No; I have never aeon her since that ■evening.

Spot wns aocus‘ tomed to play with n kitten, whoso flower­ like’face gave her the name of Pnnav. Spot would take Pansy’s head in Lis mouth and gently roll her to nnd fro. One Sunday morning the two were at pl a v, and, as it proved, the dog was too rough, for wheu-he let go ot the kitten she did not scnmjier away aa usual. The do? .capered about her, running backward nnd forward, to entice her to play. Bpt the kit t ten did not move. Then Sl ot camo to her, tnrnod her over with his nose, tensed her with his paw, and - began to sh/iw signa of great uneiwinesi. He would pause, then begin again to coax her to pet up.

Three times a day the wound waa dressed, and after a- time, when the dog wns brought, without a* word ho would lie down and raise his fnw for lhe doctor to begin. The wound nppily healed by first intention, and in three weeks Plinlimmon was well. I’linlimmon is the moat expensive dog in the country. Mr. Emmet paid $5,000 for him in England. He is a St. Ber­ nard, tawny orange with white mount­ ings, a gigantic fellow, and oa Fritz's friend and companion be has a larger number of friends aud admirers than any other dog in the country. The next most popular dog recently died of the now popuiw disease, heart failure. This was a mastiff owned by Mr. Moore, of tbe Melrose kennels. Mas­ sachusetts, who paid $3,000 for him on the other side. Th* prices paid for dogs are enormous. A common price is $250 for a valuable hunting dog, nnd puppies $25 and $50.

It is impossible to overestimate tho effect of simple earnestness and con­ centration in the affaire of life. “I sometimes wonder where I should be now. if I had always given my whole mind to my work," said a middlo-agcd 'man, engaged in a pursuit for which he had no particular love. He occupied a fairly good poritlou, os it wm, and was "well respwkit," but tho something beyond, which ho might have attained, had his energy and force of will been stronger, would always haunt him: ' Larkin Dunton, a practical educator, says in writing abojit this very point, that he once asked a boy a question in regard to his enjoyment of a certain study, and received this reply: "Oh, the time spent on that doesn't amount to much, for tho teachers don’t core anything about it," That carelessly spoken reason would exactly touch the root of many a simi­ lar matter. The teacher has no inter- eat, no stimulating enthusiasm, and so the bov has ufibe. A clerk is content with doing mechanically the liberal amount of work required of him, and his employer feels no interest in open­ ing before him the way to a better i»osition. There is no affair of practical life, no matter however unimportant, which'is not marvellously influenced by earnestness or sloth. ’ “Why don’t you mend your harness some rainy dav, instead ot tying it up, with strings?*1 asked someone of a boy who had taken a summer’s contract to drive a milk wagon. “Oh, he don’t care," said the • la<1, jointing to his employer, who sat *ou the fence dangling his feet, and smok­ ing. “he'd oslieves 'twould be all string, if ’twould hold together.” But the time came when it - did not hold together, and then boy and man parted, while a river of spilled milk rolled between, and neither could rea­ lize that it was only their eo-uiion “shif’lessness" which hod been thae- «*e of the separation. The Indians, with their fondness for svmbolic titles, called 1’hil Sheridan, “The-little-man-t hat-means-business." Very few men deserve to wear the name after him, but those who have •any intention of succeeding to one re­ flecting a faint degree of its luster will need to throw an exceeding earnest­ ness into every act’of their daily lives. —Youth's Companion. The Verdict of Suicide Stood. Andy Bolling was a bad citizen of Jackson County, nnd had killed half u dozen of his fellow-ci:izens. One even­ ing Bolling killed his seventh man in Clover Bottom. The next day a jury waa impaneled to inquire into the affair. The testimony was that tho deceased had called Bolling “a liar," aud that Bolling immediately drew his pistol and fired, killing the man who had in­ sulted him at the first shot. The jury went out to deliberate, end after a short time returned the follow­ ing verdict: “We find that the-deceased, Henry Jo&es, committed suicide." Tho coroner was amazed. “I shall not receive theverdief," he said; “the testimony wa* positive that Andy Bol­ ling did the killing.’’ “Yes," replied the foreman, “and the testimony was equally positive and un­ equivocal that the deceased ttos of sound mind and in full ]x>ssession of all his faculties just previous to his death, and that while in this condition he called Andv Bolling 'a liar.’ It tdands to reason that if he had not meditated self-destruction ho wonld not have been so rash. He knew what tho con­ sequences would be and he evidently wanted to die.” Eo tho verdict of suicide stood.— Louisville Courier-Journal. “In whst shape did you leave your friend the King?" “Koiakaua?

Last year they exported some $12,000,003 worth of sugar—all of which, of course, went through the Consulate. Of thid itomeniMi trade the United States got ninety-two percent. And furthermore, the United States supply Honolulu and the islands with about ail of their im­ ports of every kind." “How do the other nationalities rank in numbers ?" “There are 2,500 Americans on the islands; 1,200 Gormans, 1,003 English. 3,000 Japanese, 1,200 Portuguese. 5,000 half-breeds—the aristocracy of the kingdom—and 40,000 natives.” “What figure do the natives cut in the affairs of the island?” "None worth mentioning. They are lazy, ambitionless and not very intelli­ gent, and are satisfied to live off of a paste made by grinding up a vegetable they grow with little trouble. This paste they take up on their fingers, and after giving it a twirl or two, take it into their mouths and swallow it. And then they eat raw fish; in fact they de­ pend largelj- upon nature for a living. They ore no good as laborers, or very little. The Portuguese are worthless, too—the scum of the nation. They come tuainlj* from the Madeira anil other outlying islands. The. Chinese are the laborers of the islands, aud arc absolute!v necessary to the welfare of the kingdom. The natives are rapidly dwindling away. When Cook first visited the islands there was a native population of twp hundred thousand.” “Are tho native woman at all hand­ some?” “No: many of them are very large, but none of them are attractive. But the half-breed women- are beautiful, much like some of our fine types of octorpons. They have magnificent complexions, finely colored cheeks, black hair and beautiful forms. White men of all nationalities in early days married the native women, and this half-breed population is the result. As I have said, they comprise the aristoc­ racy of Honolulu. Some of them ore very stylish. Pretty much all the women are given to wearing the ‘holacue,’ a garment exactly like the Amer­ ican ‘Mother Hubbard? They wear this loose about the house, and with a belt when they go upon the streets.” [Mr. Putnam is much attached to the island.] Making His Meaning Clear.

Then the two Egyptian boatmen fell on their knees, and begged the travelera to abandon such a wild attempt. They were poor men; they were tho slaves of his excellency, the pasha, who accompanied tho party; they would die for him, but would not go down ths cataract with him. “Thia ia all rubbish," cried the pasha, exasjierated; “hundreds do it. every year, and we must do it." Another agonized conversation fol­ lowed, and then the interpreter re­ ported, "Well, yonr excellency, he say not mind kill other gentlemen, if thev give him certificate they don't mind, but he say if he kill jour excellency he bo hanged. “Tell him wo have decide;! to die to­ gether.” said one. "Tell him he shall have four napole­ ons," said another. The Egyptian’s eyes twinkled. "Make it five," he oaid. "You go at once, or you shall bo hanged whether I am drowned -or not," announced the pasha, aud finding that he meant business, tho guide accepted the sitnniion. Up the “stream goes the boat, cau­ tiously approaching tho mid-curront a few inches at a stroke. “Hold tight!" and auddenlv, with a swing, tho boat’s bow wheels round twice, and we are in full stream. Very gently move the oars now, for they arc not needed, and only kept near the water to steady her. Quick flics the bout, and tho whirl of tbc water lashes angrily against the black bowlders on either ride. “Bab ya Abu Bab? cry the sailors in monotonous chant, and the old guide sits grim and black in the stern, with watchful oye on his men and grim out­ look ahead. “Great Ammon! look nt that rock ahead!" whispers the pn-Uia. It grew nearer, and the guide ap­ parently frantic with anxiety, screamed his directions at the top of his voice.1. Back screamed the sailors angrily, as if in mutiny. “Allah help us! Great Bab help us!" rise iu agonizing cries. “We're in it!" said the pasha. “Don* waste your strength lighting y-ith the stream," said another, quietly, as he slipped his arm out of his coat. A big wave seemed to lift the boat in air, and to be about to dash it on the black rock. A look of horror came over the guide’s face, and he uttered one despairing shriek, .as skimming the crest of tho breaker, the boat gave a turn at right angles, pawed the rock at a yard's distance, turned completely ro'uhd twice, and was riding placidly in open current. “All finish!" cried an Egyptian, and the guide added solemnly, “very clever!

' He had asked the girl to see the lady of the house, and when she appeared he took off his hat and said: “Madam, I am no trajnp or beggar. Next week I begin work, and I want a few shillings to tide me over.’’ “What are you going to work at?" she asked. “Planting corn, madam. I have taken a job of planting twenty acres, and that will give me a big start.” “Well, if that’s the case, I’ll give you a quarter. I am willing to help any one who seeks to help himself.” “Many thanks." And he had been gone half an hour when the woman suddenly ran down stairs and queried of the cook: Say, Jennie, you used to live in the country.

The police officers were asking her questions, and although she would talk plainly enough there was nothing rational in what she said. She was drunk. Hgr breath waa laiden with the odor of beer and whisky, her fair blue evea were bloodshot, and tho baby could scarcely stand on her tiny feet. She would laugh and joke at the patrol-men, who, in their big hearts, pitied the little baby, and talked to her in the kindest manner. They did not confine her in a cell, but let her play about the office until the effects of the poisoning drink had passed off. She seemed at home, nnd soon adapted her­ self to her surroundings. When she could talk more rationally she said: •"My name's Johanna, and they call me ‘Little Jo.’" “Who do yofi live with?" asked one of the officers, wbo had interested him­ self with the little waif. “I live with my sister. My mamma's dead. She died four weeks ago, and my papa is in Cherokee County. He’a minin' to see mo when I gets 12 vears. old." “Where’s'your home?" “It's on Lowe’s alley and corner of Rhodes street. That’s where my sister­ lives,” replied the little child. " “WJio gives you beer, little one?* a-ked one of the listeners. “Everybody," she replied. “I drinks beer and toddy all the time. My sister can drink this hon.se full of beer," tbe baby prattled on, “and I love beer. It’s nice, ain’t it ?” and she laughed merrilv. * “There's a case,” said Dr. Foote, as he turned awav, "for the home of the friendless.

The Old Commodore. Commodore Vanderbilt made $100,­ 000,000, beginning with no money and very little education. He could 'write his name, and* that was about the ex­ tent of his scholastic acquirements. His name, which was good for any amount on a check, was not much to look at. He could not pronounce the /letter V, and always called himself Vanderbilt. A new clerk at the Postofiice grcatly’annoyed him by looking for Ifis letters under the W’s." “Don’t look among the Ws; look among the Wees,” said the millionaire. the age of 80, the Commodore was a match for the whole street. He opened all his own letters, dictated his answers on the margin, spent an hour in transact­ ing business involving many millions, , and then went to his stables.

For a generation the pile will undoubted re­ main as it is now—one of the wonders of Chicago aud of the world. Tbe mammoth structure will be ready for dedication on the night of Dec. 9, when Patti, the queen of song, will face Chi-' cago's culture and beauty. That will be a great night. Already the dress­ maker' of two continents are design­ ing and making the costumes which will be worn on that momentous occa­ sion. In company with Milward Adams, a reporter made a partial tour of the Auditorium. The impression created was that there is morn room in the building than there is outdoors. That is the only serious objection to tho structure. ’ ' "Did you ever stand on the twentieth storvuf a building?" asked Mr. Adams. “No; ot course not. for the simple reason that >uch buildings exist onlv ■ in the imagination of aspiring archi­ tects." Mr. Adams said nothing in resjionBe to these insinuations, but ded the wayupward. The pair traveled the first J50 feet without difficulty on an elvator which made no stems until the tenth floor was reached; The next ninety h>et jauut was different—de­ cidedly so. The towerof the Auditorium is n great building of itself. It w ould compare favorably with the l>est structures in New York City. Each of the seven floors of the tower proper ha# from six to ten large rooms. Ou tho seventeenth floor are the rooms re­ served for the Signal Service. In fact, the weather shaqi# have rented the seventeenth, eighteenth, nineteenth, -and twentieth floors of the Auditorium Building, aud are now fitting up the ; l>est api»inted signal office in the country. . "We will now go to the twentieth floor,” said Mr. Adams. The twentieth floor is au airy affair comjmsed of an upu framework. It is 2fi6 feet above Michigan lioulevard, but seems higher. What a view is spread out before the eyes of those who climb to this awful bright-. The great me­ tropolis is been as from a mountain top.

It lifts itself, iu ita noble site on the short of Lake Michigan, in such dignity and greatness as no other private building in the new world can approach. The whole structure is a victory of archi­ tecture, and the Congress street facade is over IMJO feet long, and is hardly sur­ passed by tho grandeur and eloquence of expreasiou of the noted Capitol it­ self. New York and Philadelphia have nothing to offer in rivalry to it. It is the moat typical building yet erected of the greatness, progress and civiliza­ tion of America. No provincial city could have been th® *eat of it. It u nt once a triumph and a proof of Amer­ ican daring and enterprise and gener­ ous public spirit. Europe has no thea­ ter. opera house, or hull to match it, either in magnitude or result. Yet great as is the Auditorium, it is not half of the real glory of the building. The vast hotel, with its five hundred rooms, and the Urge store-rooms, all add to the greatness and wonder of it all. Chicago itself has yet no idea of the reason for pride it has in this build­ ing. The genius And daring of its builders have given in this enterprise the crown to all of Chicago’s greatness. It .will stand for hundreds of years, still a marvel. It will become th© his­ toric Imll of America, for in it is sure to be held the most famous of all American gatherings hereafter. She Fainted Her Lip*. A very funny incident happened at a reception where a bright woman, who was out fbr the first time after a long illness, waa the victim. Just be­ fore she left home some one said that she had better put some coloi on her lips, as they looked perteecly blue. A serpent in the shape of a charming girl offered her mixture—one of car­ mine and glycerine—which, if any is to be used, is moat desirable: and she riircfully painted the invalids mouth, putting tho most coloran the center, to give it the desired rosebud effect. The newly painted was warned ihat she could eat or drink anything cold, but of anything hot she was to lieware. Remembering thia, she declined going into the supper-room, and was the center of a group of men, and having the largest kind of a time, when au imp of darkness in the form of a foot­ man came along with a tray on which were cups of coffee and glaiiaes of punch, without a thought tho layde faire took a cup of the coffee; she hipped it slowly, aud then, horror of horrors, made bad worse by wiping her mouth on a tiny napkin which had been given her. She #aw surprise on the face# of some of the men. One glance at the damask' in'her baud told her whatvwas the n atter, and with providential presence of mini the put it up to her lips again, leaned on the mau nearest to her, whispered in muffled tones that she wa.* ill and must go liome. Out of the drawing­ room. she quickly got on her wrap^, and when she wm helped to her car­ riage the man who had been her stand­ by could*not resist telling her that he was sure she must be ill, because her lips had grown so pale. However, the meu were good fellows, and they n«yer told of her, but she swore by every one of the Buddhist gods and all of the Chinese devils that she’d submit to green lips before she'd get into such * fix again.__________ "What thall I call my play?" asked ths roan who hail stolen one from the French; and his friend advised him to call it Elijah, because it was trans­ lated. liolder. brontr nt Kidney* and Arid I’rtue. bfoddy Brine, FA IN IX TH K HACK. lUlentlom.fr rise. ir'r la penna* ad.

A very-quiet and pleasant wedding occurred at the cozy home of Mr. and Mrs. Russel Stanton, tn the township of Baltimore, on Wednesday last. The contracting parties were Phin. G.

The happy couple, immediately left for Marion, Indiana, and the Itest wishes and hearty congratulations of hosts of friends accompany them. It isxeported that a wedding recent­ ly occurred in the vicinity of Nashville under peculiar circumstances. Tire young man in the affair has been “sweet" on the girl for a long time, and he knew that his affection was returned, but still was not happy, for the reason that the stern sire of his inamorlta put his ponderous foot upon their pretty plans and cruelly crush­ . ed them. Oh, woe! Alas! Alas! But like truth crushed tb eaHh, their love would not be obliterated, and they have still loved on, hojied on, and their persistance has Anally brought forth the desired result.

A proposi­ tion quickly made! and quickly ac­ cepted is to the effect that if the youngster will help dig the “mur­ phies’’ he may have the girl, aud we are informed that before Saturday night the crop was housed and that the happy couple was married Sunday. Peace and potatoes be with them. . And have reduced tbe price to get rid of them. Robert Pointer, who waa arrested at Eaton Rapids about six months ago ou complaint of Will Allen for obtaining property fraudulently, waa acquitted in tbe circuit court by tbe jury after 15 minutes deliberation.

BY EDWAIID F. STONE. HE $tory I am alxuxt to re­ late, earning a* it did under my I'i-Miuual observation, I have no hesitation in vouch­ ing for tiie truth vl. The scene is in u pretty town of about 5,(MX) inhnbitante, which nestles cosily in a broad valley between the foothills af one of the mountainous tVeetern State*, pierced by one of the great iron arteries of Commerce of the Gould Southwest Hyutem of nulwnyK. The time was tha month of May, 18d-. At the period mentioned I was asso­ ciated with my brother in the publica­ tion of a small weekly paper in this flourishing little town of D------- . I be­ came acquainted with almost every one in town, and was always ready to par­ ticipate in such of tho tocial pleasures as the limited popnlation allowed. The roller-skating craze had seized .the town during the preceding winter, and of course all tho girls and boys 1 tamed to okAte. Tbe society boys and girls of D----- were like all boys and girls of small towns, in that they di­ vided themselves into •‘sets” or crowds, and it is with the members of tbe set to which I belonged that my story has to deal. Fcr present purposes we will know them as Maggio Reynolds' and ■William Byron. Maggie Bevnolds was the ac­ knowledged belle of the town, and she carried her honors with becoming grace. She was a slender, delicate little bunch of nerves, of tho brunette style. The only daughter of wealthy patents, ahe was sjioiled, petted and ' willful. She was both vivacious and pretty, and of course a most agreeable companion. William Byron, who, by the wav, was a close friend of mine, was a train dispatcher in tho service of tho rail­ way upon which D------ is located. He was a good mate for Maggie, and from the time the pair become close friends at the skating rink everybody thought it would be a match. ' ’ Byron was also of small stature. He hed seen a deal of tho wot bl and was a ready wit, very much of a gentleman, and exccedinglv well thought of by the girU. a* well as by the public gen­ erally. He was temperate and inddstrious, which, taken in consideration with the fact that ho wai an excellent dispatcher, established him in the con­ fidence of both Iris chief and the super­ intendent of the division. William Byron and Maggio Boynolds wore both graceful, finished dancers, and. ns they learned to skate together, made the most accomplished _ and best-appearing couple that fre' quanted the rink. TWy were together so much that the rumor of their en­ gagement was finally accepted as a . * r at the depot cl « o’clock a. m.. relieved the man sht> had Been on since midnight, he looked badly, and the other dispatchers noticed that he was nervous and unsteady. He hat down at his tabla, took the key in a mechanical way, and commenced work. He was handling the north cud of the hue between St. Louis and D——, forty-two miles of road. It vm)» busy day. Besides the two or three freight trains each way. Will had to handle one nnrth-bound aecouitaod&tion,. the south-boutra through expresa, and the branch mail line, and added to this, two work-trains were put out between St. Louis and n point tweatv-two miles south, and n short suburban accommodation train was or­ dered on for the summer mouths, afid iu half tin hour he had the roadTclear for the passenger trains, and brought the new suburban out to K , the end of its run. where it was to lie until ita return nt nofia. At this juncture the Division Sunerintendent waa notified that the,Gen­ eral Superintendent was coming out over the rood in his sjiecial car. ac­ companied by two New York xailway ■kings, one of whom had his ton along. The Superintendent aaid he would be reaily to leave St. Louis at 9 o'clock, aud wonted to run regardless of all other trains. The Division Superin­ tendent turned to Will, saying: “Byron, tho Superintendent, wants to leave St. Louis at 9 o’clock on his special. He wants to reach hero by 11 o’clock, and will have the right of way, and yon hardly *haye time to moke a schedule, so you can run him down tliis far by wire. Give him a good run.” It was no little work to rearrange the time of all trains betwefci the two points, but Will soon had. everything of>en so that he could come right through. ’ The arrangement was no vooncr made than the Superintendent fcont. a second dispatch to the effect that he would not leave until 10 o'clock.1 This upskt all previous arrangements, and new time must be made, and new or­ ders gi *en to every train. It required Careful, level-headed work, and it was done. At JI o'clock the Superintendent again c.ianged his leaving time toll o'clock, and the exaaperating work had to lie again gone over. The crowding of «» much work into such a short spuee^of time resulted in another delay, and the special did not leave S'. Louis until Keverel minutes after 11 o’clock. The Superintendent’s private car carried the two millionaires aud that official, while the ion of one of the rch men iodo on the engine. The Erst twenty-five miles of their course lay along the river bank. The special would reach K------- .* where the suburban accommodation, north bound, was dn< to leave nt noon, at jn-»t about the sair 3 hour—possibly a few minutes after 1’ o'clock. Following the ser­ pentine curves of the track along the river bank, the special bounded on its Two miles rorth of K-------was the M------ River, which was biidged by the railway. It was a r.mall stream, only about two hundred feet wide. Ou the soutli bank,nearest to K—, was a switch and a small station, at which au oper­ ator was not regularly stationed. The little station was known as W------- . The bridge was put at the confluence of the small stream with the mighty Missis­ sippi. Coming on to the bridge from the north the tracks rounded a preapi­ tons Iduff with a sharp curve bo that to n south-bound train the bridge was out of sight until the locomotive was al­ most upon it. ' With the intention ot making W—a meeting poiut for the north-bound suburban and south-bound special, by giving the *uburbsu the siding, WflJ called up K------- , and gave the en­ gineer of the suburban orders to leave on time. On that fatal day there was no operator at W——. Of course the suburban would stop nt W-------, but it should have had orders to take the sid­ ing and wait there for the special. Now it was bonnd to meet the special before another stop was made, for the latter had orders to “run regardless.” The suburban had hardly more than started until Will called up W------- to give it orders to take the siding for the special. He l ad not known that there was no operator at W------- that dav. He received no answer to his call. Time was precious. He called again, and received no answer. “What's the matter with W------- ?" he asked. “I can’t rai^e him. and if he don’t come to his key before the sub­ urban reaches him. there will be a col­ lision with the Superintendent’* spe­ cial." . “ There is no operator, at W------ to­ day." answered the trainmaster, who hail just entered the room. “My God! then they will meet on the bridge, and nothing can prevent it!” A ghastly ludlor came over Will’s face, aud he sank back in hi* chair in a dead faint. The trainmaster took the key, and Will was carried into tire next room and reviver! with cold water. They kept him close iu the Superintendenti room, aud would tell him nothing save that tbe wreck vm not very bod. It cost two lives. The ron of the New York millionaire, who was riding oh tbe special’s engine, was jammed into the fire-l>ox and literalb*. burned alive. The fireman of lhe special en­ gine wan caught between the engine and tender and so badly crushed that *he died in a few hours. At 11 o’clock that night I met Will as he came out on the street from the Superintendent’s office. I linrdiy knew him. *<nd a* I took his hand he scarcely spoke to me. He didn’t know yet the result of the accident. /fhe rink was to dose for the sum­ mer with a grand masquerade and skating contest, numerous prizes be­ ing offered. It was knownjthat Mag­ gie and Will 'intended to contest for the first prize, and everybody said they would win it. I never knew the causes which led up to n change of this programme, but the change was made,, and it was an expensive one —nt least I al wavs thought it had a very strong bearing on the evepls of the succeeding hours. I am not a believer in premonitions, but I can recollect very distinctly that I never looked upon the friendship be­ tween the two with oven the smallest degree of favor, and I know Maggio's disposition and feared that she was merely having a little pastime at Will’s expense, and I felt equally uh sure that Will was deeply in love-w’ith her. When the night for tbe contest final­ ly arrived, thu whole town assembled at the rink, and from my jiositiou in the callery J could see even* one in the hall. Maggie hud arrived, accom­ panied Uy her mother and brother, and Will wak«ou the .floor s few minutes before she arrivell. She went im­ mediately to the gallery with her mother, while Will remained on the floor bd»w. mingling with the merry throng of maskers, and I no­ ticed that he was not in his usual spirit*. Ho looked and acted ill at (we. He was nervous, and acted as though ho knew ho was being scruti­ nized. Maggie did not wear her usual bright , happy smile, and did ndt oct as thcn.gh she intended to skate. At the last moment before the con­ test began, a well-dressed, dapper "yoang man, a passenger brakeman em­ ployed on tbe road, who passed n good deal of his time in 1>- , and whom I bod ofuni seen at the rink, snd noticed as an excellent skater, as­ cended the gallery stairs sod sought Mis* Maggie's side, and they exchanged a few words, and Maggie arwe, accom­ panying him to tho floor below.

A series of experiments have just taken place in England in connection with tbe thirty-six-jiounder quick-firing gun. The experiments were to deter­ mine (1) the velocity of the armor­ piercing shell at different ranges which would enable it to penetrate armor plating; (2) to determine at what angle to the line of fire one armor plate will keep out the thirty-six-pounder armorpiercing shell; (3) to determine tho thickness of plate which will keep out a common steel shell fired direct with a full charge of powder. Tho results were that at 2,(500 yards the armorpiercing shell, with a velocity of 1.076 feet per second, jwnetrated a plate of mild steel>tbree inches thick.

During the John Brown,raid ut liarIieria Ferry, while Brown held the ar­ mory yard and engine house, he had pickets stationed at different points commanding the approaches. ' John Brown’s right-hand man. Lieut. Ste­ vens, with four men, held the end of the bridge which crosses the Potomac until they were driven thence by the citizens of Harper’s Ferry. They then retreated toward the engine bouse held by John Brown. Meantime ten or twelve men (citizens) entered the Gault House by means of the rear entrance, and by tiring from the windows and doorway of the bar-room of the sa­ loon. they were able to command the street from the end of tbe bridge to the engine house*. As Stevens and party retreated along this street they were fired U|*on by the men in the Gault House and one of tbe men, Thompson by name, fell. Stevens did not know thia until he reached the engine house. Nothing daunted, he returned alone and tried to carry his friend and comrade, Thomp­ son, away. He was tired at and fell badly wounded, but not before he had returned the fire. He and Thompson were then carried into the Shenandoah Hotel. Then Thompson was immedi­ ately taken out on the bridge and shot and his body -thrown into the river. 'Checrowd then returned for Stevens. Just as the.v entered the room Mrs. Fonlke, the wife of the landlord, en­ tered, and with the tender heart and love of mercy of a woman, pJeadqd with the crowd to spare Stevens’ life. Stevens, supposing that they were go­ ing to kill him then and there, with an effort raised liimelf ou his elbow aud said: ••Gentlemen, have respect for the lady; do not kill me in her pretence, but take me out and kill me.” His bravery saved his life for tho time. He was taken to Charlestown, and afterward tried, convicted and hanged. He mounted the scaffold firm and unflinching, with a smile ou his countenance. It was a quarter to 12 o'clock night, and the streets were deserted. The air was raw. and proximity to a fire a desirable thing. As lielated pe­ destrians passed up Woodward avenue they were confronted Ixstween Con­ gress and Ford by a barefooted, shiv­ ering, crying boy of 8 years of age with the piteous request: “Please, mister, buy a paper." This was accompanied by a lifting up from the cold Hag-stones of first one bare foot and then the other. The boy had an armful of payers which he had apparently been unable to sell. “Why don't you go home?” asked a slightly inebriated individual who was wending Lis way home after a jolly evening. ‘ “Get a licking if I don’t sell my pa­ pers." whined the bov. “It’s a shame,” said the vinously af­ fected person. “Here; I’ll bay your papers, and yon go straight hoiue’and St warm," whereupon he tossed the ya dollar, and to provide against his remaining longer took the bundle* of papers.

The glove has l>oen the emblem of power and of purity, of defiance and subjection. Lands and public prop­ erty were once conveyed by the de­ livery of a glove; the nnthoritv of kings over provinces wns atteHtcd by pre renting a glove: kings invested txtrons with domination by bestowing ou the favorite one of the kingly gloves, and many ecclesiastical and legal cere­ monies could only be performed .with white gloves, the eihblems of purity. Tho antiquity of gloves is very great; they doubtless antedate history, for the earliest literature alludes to them, and they have been known and worn from the earliest ages of which we .have any knowledge. Homer, in the “ Odyssey,” de-*- il>es Laertes, the ■farmer-king. th. »ther of Uiysses, in Iris retirement: ' A'hile gloves secured liis hands to shield them from the thorns.” Xenophon jeers st the Per­ sians for wearing gloves as a protec­ tion from the cold. In their earlier days the Greeks and tb<y Rotnaus scorned such effeminacy, but at a later day, iu the time of Pliny, the uncle of that lively historian is described as traveling with an aMAnuensis “who wore • gloves upon his hands in winter lest the severity of the weather should make him lose any time jn” writing. From time immemorial the glove has Lad a legal significance in Oriental countries in the transfer of property, just as the “God’s penny” was former­ ly used to bind a bargain in the West. Later, the glove, as a pledge or em­ blem of conveyance, came into use among the Bomans, whose ancient law held propertv to have passed with ita literal transfer, or of part of it, into the hand of the purchaser, and the glove, doubtless as a matter of con­ venience, took the place of aud sym­ bolized this ancient transfer. is a medium of exchange they have long been doomed, >aid an official of the Philadelphia Mint. We are only coining about five thousand i>er year for monetary circulation, and this small amount is meant by the Treasury De­ partment to be merely for the purpose of keeping enough on hand to make change in paying depositors of gold bullion. If it were not for this, prob­ ably the coinage of gold dollars would be ouspendqd. Nearly all the gold dollars in exist­ ence have l»een turned into articles of jewelry or are in private desks or bureaus to i>e kept as keepsakes. This disuse of ti»e gold dollar us a medium uf exchange has l>een caused by its small size, being m> diminutive that the l-osHefifror is continually alarmed lest it might drop through the seams of the jMxket. On March 184'J. the United States Mint was authorized by law to' coin gold pieces. The weight fixed for the coin was 25.8 grains, and thedegree of fineness IMiti. Immediately upon the coin’s introd oction to the peo­ ple it receiv<<] a cold shoulder, because 3f its inconvenient size. The Treasury authorities endeavored to obviate this unpopnlaritv of the coin in 1885, when it was ordered to be mode thinner, and conswp.ently greater in diameter. But this enlargement of the surface of the gold dollar did not suffice to clear away the popular opin­ ion that the coin was too small. After thecoinageof gold dollars was virtually stopped there came u rage for gold-dollor bangles. The young man in society was obliged, in order to keep on good terms with the fair sex, to give them ?oins to jingle from their bracelet. Silver dimes had first caught the j»opular eye, but in a very short tin e ail ver­ bangled bracelets were thought com­ mon. and gave place to gold ones.

One of the earliest speeches that he made offer becoming a politician was in Terre Haute, Ind., and it was irresistibly funny from end to end, and the people laughed “consumedly." But Alorton saw that that wouldn’t do. He argued tbat a poli­ tician who goes into wit as a general thing must expect to sacrifice every­ thing else for it. He will gain little reputation as a sound man. He will never get very high in honors. People will say that he is a good “stumper," but his judgment will be a thing of suspicion. People will dislike to trust him. They will not deem the author of witty savings capable of originating large, solid measures. So Morton dropped funny speech-making, but he won his next audience by the matchless jKJwer of his oratory. And yet, had there been no,“Sunset” Cox in onr public life.

There were five or six of us drum­ mers out of Chicago who used to bring up in Cairo in a bunch on Sunday, and one of the gang was a billiard expert. I don't mean that he could have held his own with the big gnns, but he was way above the common, and runs of from thirty to fifty were every-day things with him. He used to dress up as a farmer, steanilfcatiuan. or cattle­ buyer, enter a billiard parlor, and after fooling around for n while ho would caich a sucker and stick him for the drinks all around. Nearly all the boys in Cairo had go* on to his game, when one nigiit we dropped into O'Neil’s as a sort of cleaning up.

Already preparations are making for the long winter session of-congresa In Washington and the statesmen are now arriving al the capitol Id- con­ siderable numbers In anticipation of the opening which occurs four weeks hence. The lower house will consist of 330 representatives and the senate flflM members. Both houses are re­ publican. The house is divided po­ litically as follows: 169 republicans and 161 democrats as lhe case now stands, which credits several scats to democrats who were not elected. In making up the roll of members the clerk of ths last congress is empowered to put upon the-list those who pre­ sent certificates from the proper officers of t heir respective states, and in doing this he exercises the most ar­ bitrary authority, from which there appears to be no appeal. The present clerk Is a democrat, and it is expected that he will see to it that every mem­ tar of his party who has any show of title to a seat in congress is duly re­ corded, but it is nut probable that any trouble will result therefrom as the republicans have a clear majority of members -whose seats are not con­ tested. The 169 republicans represent 33 stales, and the 161 democrate repre­ ’ sent 28 states. Ten states send solid republican and nine states send solid democratic delegations. This is in­ dependant* of the four new western . stales. Of the 33b member^, 203 served in the last congress, and 127 are new members. Five members of the new congress have died since the election, one year ago. They are Messrs. Town­ send. Gay, Laird; Cox, and Nutting. Their places will all be filled by mem­ bers of the party to which they be- imaged. The first business of the house is to elect a speaker, and for that pur­ pose a caucus /rill’ be held the Satur­ day evening previous to the opening session It will require 85 votes in the republican caucus to select a candidate for speaker, and there are five or six congressmen who are ambitious of that honor. Since the western states » have 85 republican members this sec­ tion could secure the prize by united action. The eastern states have 23, the middle states 44, and the southern states 17 republican members. The outcome at present remains in doubt. —Jackson Citizen. The president has appointed Col. Charles P.

One da v Louise happened to be in the great kitchen all alone, when >he thought she heard some one at the door. It was not a loud knock. It sound­ ed like this: “Tack, tack tack. ’ Tack, tack, tack." Louise listened a moment, and then she heard it again: “Tack, tack, tack. Tack, tack, tack." “Wclj," she thought, “I suppose I must open the door, because grandma has gone over to Mrs. Burton's, but J’m almost afraid to.” So she opened the door snd looked up to see who it wan, and at first she thought that no one was there, but when nhe looked down again there stood the old fat vellow hen that grandma called “Biddy.” "Why, Biddy," said Louise, “did you knock on the door?” “Yes, yes, yes,” said Biddy, by nod­ ding her heat! a great many times. And then she walked into the kitchen and walked about in a very curious way. She went up to the great water­ barrel which stood in one corner, and strained her neck to look into the dark space behind it. Then she went to all the other corners of the room—and th-re were a good many—looked care­ fully under the old “secretary,” and stood for some time gazing into grand­ pa’s straw hat, which had fallen upon the floor. Just then Louise looked up and saw grandma standing in the doorway. “O grandma!” she cried, “what does make Biddy act so?" “I think I know what Biddy wants," said grandma, “but I can’t quite let her have grandpa’s hat tor a nest." Then grandma went out to the barn and brought in half a keg, in which she had nicely arranged a bunch of sweet hay, and this ste set on the floor in one comer of the roots. Biddy seemed to recognize this at once, and she immediately jumped into the nest. But, dear me, what au idea to think that anybody bnt her could arrange that nest! She picked it, and trod it. and ruffled it for more than an hour, until she panted faster tb> Louise could count, and she had . hold her wings out straight, she was so hot. Louise sat and watched her with wonder and delight, until at last Biddy sat quietly on her nest, and tbe hum­ ming of the bees came so drowsily through tbe widow that Louise was having just a little nap in her chair, ■when she was startled by a very sud­ den and joyous sound. It was this: “Cut-cut-cut-cut-enttv-ca-da-cut, cuteut-cut-ent-cutty-ga-^a-cut,” over and over again, and \thero stood Biddy, cackling, and looking with pride at a new white egg. “O me! O me! O me!”cried Louise, dancing up and down with delight. “Grandma, come here, quick! Biddy has laid a g-r-e-a-t. white egg T It waa. indeed, true, and Biddy con­ tinued to do so for twelve days, and she and Louise became firm friends. But after that'-Biddy grew esoss. and .said “Kor-r-r-r!” whenever Louise came near her. Then Biddy sat upon the eggs almost all the time for three long weeks, until one morning when Louise came into tbe kitchen she heard a faint “poep, peep, peep,” which seemed to come from underneath Biddy’s wings. After breakfast grandpa took Biddy from the nest, and there were eleven downy chicks, and one little follow who could only get his bead out, and sat disconsolately in the bottom of his shell, blinking his eyes at the world. "Oh, thev axe so lovely!" cried Louise; “ma that little fellow is in his cradle.” and she took him out of the nest and rocked him in his shell a min­ ute. and then grandpa picked him out and put him with Biddy and the others in a nice large coop in the yard. There Louise watched and fed them every dav, and after some time grandpa opened the coop one dav and let Biddy go to walk with her children. This waa Biddy’s hour of triumph. She marched straight for the kitchen means, but how Karsh and rasping is the thought of breaking the golden doze! He puts one leg into his trou­ sers, and. with the silken strand of a dream still iu his mind, he rinks back upon the pillow. “1 am coming!" he exclaims. Ho hoars his father’s footsteps. Ho mut­ ters as he startetoward the steblo: “I dont believe in people working them­ selves to death. Hojie there’ll come a time when I can lie in bed as long as I want to. This thing of sdatching a fellow out of bed at finch an hour is all >rrong. The hogs and the dogs are all s’leop, but I’ve got to poke around here and feed the-stock. Wish I were a man-^-or a dog—I don’t care much which." I he years pass on. The trees:in the orchard have grown old. It is early morning on tho farm. A man gets out of bed aud looks at the clock. ’ “What time'is it, John?” -his wife asks. “Only three o’clock. It does seem as if day will never come, and thnt bottom field of corn has been literally run away with by the grass. It does seem that we can’t get time to do anything.” He goes back to l>ed nnd vainly at­ tempts to sleep. Rheumatic pains are sending dispatches up and down his legs. An hour passes. A cock crojrs and birds begin to twitter in tho locust trees. “Well, it’s time we were stirring. Jim.oh! Jim.” “Yek, sir,”*comes a drowsy answer. "Come, get up now and’ feed your horses.” Ten minutes pass. No Jim. "Confound that l>oy, he's os lazy as a dog. Jim, Jim!” ’ “Yes, sir.” “Hustle out of there now or I’ll come after you.” Ten minutes pass. "I’ll go in there and take a strap to that lazy rascal.” He starts; Jim comes out. "You ought to be fiahamed of yourself, wanting to lie in l>ed at this time of day. W lien I was a boy you couldn’t have kept me in bed at this hour. Jim starts toward the stable, mutter­ ing as he goes. "Hope the time will come when I can sleep as long as I want to. Wish Lwas a man, or a dog. I don't care much which.” Ah, Lord, how we do forget. The lesson we learn is that everything comes too late.

Whether the forceful intellectu­ ality of Wagner's alchemy, or not, remains to be acet ism, we may resign ourselves to lotuseating dreams, lulled by the sensuous strains of less complex compositions. The question is one thatis fraught with interest, to the high priests and priest­ esses of art aud lestheticism chiefly. In the meantime, the vast army of ns, the rank and file of humanity, as we march along, time our steady footsteps to the cheery music of the fire-' side. It is a low-toned, unobtrusive and comfortable melody, scarcely noticed amidst earth’s more turbulent noises. Yet, what a dread and awful stillness would it leave in our lives should it suddenly go out and forever cease to be. In the morning this fireside music is a kind -of choral hymn, wherein are blended the voices of the children, raised in affectionate morning greeting; the silvery ripple of their happy laugh­ ter ripples through all th© composi­ tion. It is the variation, played in tlate-like tones upon tho sol»er theme of breakfast table, household conversa­ tion. And now, the canary bird, hearing the joyons stir - about him, concludes that it is high time for him to strike in with his part, and he pipes uj>, with spirit, giving us a pleasing variety of trills, shakes, runs aud roulades; while the pet dog contributes a few staccato yelps, purely from a spirit of emulation. Tha coffee urn makes no noise, only offers up a fragrant incense of steam, as its shoe of the performance; but at evening, when the family HhaU gather aiountl the cheerful fire, where snap­ ping snd crackling coals, like the tainlioniino in an orchestra, are more for looks than for sound, then the boiling tcaki tile will siug melodiout ly, a dreamy toft alto, and (if our fireside happen? to be in an old country house) the c.icket, sweet minstrel of domestic ]>eace, will emerge from hi > secret Book, and tuning bis violin to a high and res­ onant pitch he will pipe in pleasant accord to the kettle’s low drone. And now, pe.hapi, leading this de­ lightful orchestra of quaint aud origi­ nal if humble musiciaus. softly rises toward lieaven the voice of the mother, as with a tender lullaby she gently/ rocks her nestling off into slumber­ land. And call you not this harmony? It is the harmony of home, the blessed music of the fireside, .

It is the music of sweet and wholesome home affections, bubbling up incessantly from the deep heart of lifejwrmn ir:g praise to the giver of all good.

Here's a health to’ the shade of the glorious master, Wagner, a health to all artists and composers in the divine art of music; but after all, the music thnt we should miss the most, the mnsic that makes life Endurable, that -sounds sweetly, oven to the ears of the •cherubim and seraphim, is the cheeriul yet holy music of the fireside.— Chicato Ledger.

A writer in the Ccntunj, who has no faith in the Indian school*, and who ignores facts well known to persons who have taken an interest in the In­ dian question, says: If anything is done to relievo the condition of the Indian tribes it must be a scheme which begins at the bot­ tom and takes the “whole outfit," as a Western man would say. in its scope. If these measures of relief are at all tardy, liefore we realize it the wild In­ dian* tribes will be, as some writer has said, “loafers and outcasts contending with the dogs for kitchen setups in Western villages." They have all raised stock successfully when not interfered with or not forced by insufficient ra­ tions to eat up their stock cattle to appedse their hunger, and I have nehrer heard that Indians were not mode of' soldier stuff. A great many Western garrisons have their corps of Indian scouts. In every case they prove efficient. They are naturally the finest irregular cav­ alry on the face of thii globe, and with an organization similar to. the Kossian Cn<sacks, they would do the United Staten great gpod and liecome gradual ly civilized. An irregular cavalry ia every year a more and more important branch of the service. Any good cav­ alry officer could, I ^lieve, take a command of Indians and ride around the world without haring a piece of bacon, or a cartridge, or s horse issued by his Government. So f.tr as effective police work . n the West- is concerned, the ooqis of Indian scouts do nearly all of that service now. They all like to be eniirited into the service, uni­ versally obey ordcra, and are never disloyal. Miss Boston—“You will please excuse me, Mr. Schraubstader; I believe mother is calling me."

To the abuse of the credit system, which is directly traceable to the mer­ chant from the lack of firmness and fear of loss of trade, is due an im­ mense amount of misery and crime. For many who receive credit under these circumstances gradually become lax in their payments, or otherwise only pay.a small amount on account and keep on buying, thus enabling Don’t forget Miss Jones' concert at the opera house next Wednesday eve­ ning.

Tbe Free Metbodlat quarterly meeting was held at the Rod Rlbboa ball, In Morgan, Friday, Saturday and Sunday of last week. Fred Neatdtt got his hand hurt quite bad by getting too near the saw in tbe «*w mill at the joke. He says It doesn’t agree with him to work when it rain*. them to keep the account running in­ definitely and’* In ever increasing amount; being able thereby to indulge in luxuries which they would have been unable h> obtain if they had been compelled to buy only for cash. Finally the merchant requests’ full payment and the parties being unable to pay. the merchant promptly stops the credit, thinking to compel them into either paying the bill or paying cash for what they get afterwards. The ‘ customer, however, takes his trade to another merchant on whom he soon imposes in a similar manner; which would perhaps never have oc­ curred if the merchant to whom ap­ plication was made in the first in­ stance had had the courage to meet It with a prompt refusal. This would have perhaps discouraged the buyer in the attempt to seek credit elsewhere, but would have in most instances have also enabled the dealer to retain them as cash customers, thus com­ pelling them to resort to such economy as would have enabled them to live within their income and, jxThaps, save a portion for future need. There are many who, after they have once discovered and enjoyed this laxity of the credit system, will .eventually re­ sort to it as a means of obtaining what they require without payment, that they may live without the need of performing any laixir; becoming so inured to it that when all such re­ sources faift he desire for honorable employment having died a natural death, they seek to obtain their liveli­ hood by other more questionable means, and in the end either become candidates for the penitentiary or the almshouse. The decision of the supreme court of Michigan that the mechanic's lien law* is unconstitutional, leaves the law of the Stfite where it was previous to 1887'., No mate,rial man, or mechanic can recover an amount greater than that due from the land owner to the principal contractor and unpaid. If a land owner pays in advance, me­ chanicsand material providers have no lien on the house or land, and must look solely to the contractors. The court held that the lien law struck at the foundation of all property in Ihnd, by providing that hemight be de­ prived of his*property without his own act or default. Though he might have paid a contractor all that was due, his property was held by the law liable to the mechanics and material men for what was due them The state public school loard of con­ trol has issued circulars to all persons holding children adopted previous to June 6,1887, who were wards of that institution informing them that by the recent decision of the supreme court the welfare of the child is in jeopardy. They request those having adopted children from there to write at once and signify their desires to re­ adopt the children when blanks and instructions will be forwarded at once. =THEY MAY ALL TALK!

How the Arab* Make Tea. # The mistress of the tent, placing a large kettle on the tire, wiped it care­ fully with a horse's tail, tilled it with water, and threw in some coarse tea and a little agU. When this waa near tbe Ixnling'point she touted the tea about with a brass ladle until the liq­ uor became verr brown, and then it was poured off into another vessel. Cleansing the kettle as before, the woman set it again on the tire in order to fry a paste of meal and fresh butter. Upon tins the tea ami some thick cream was then poured, tbe ladle put in req­ uisition again, aud after a time the whole taken off the fire aud set aside to cool. Half-pyit wooden mugs were handed around and the tea ladled into them, this tea forming meat and drink and satisfying both hunger and thirst.

It is only lansibl* that Mr. Windom'* plan of treating tbe silver embraces the issue of rilvor bullion certi­ ficate*. Tula idea is by no mean* a new one. but tbe secret >ry is said to hnvs a somewhat complex though novel method of developing it, with whim he wishes to surprise the financial world. Bom* of tho le»* important reason* for issuing certifi­ cates against th* bullion pureha-uw of the government are that the expanse and trouble of coinage would be saved: that the expense ot tran*]»ortation would bo lessened: that th* expendv* recount* of th* immense numlier of silver dollars would b* avoided: that inasmuch as But a small percentage of the silver dollar* alreadr coined are tn actual circulation it is perfect'/ futile to x«ep on coining tnem, and that by having the silver in bars the government could mor* readily sell it for manufacturing purposes. Any scheme that will not increase the government's monthly purchase* of silver is not liksly to be satisfactory to th* silver intlatloni«ta. It is probable, therefore, th<ugh it can not ta officially confirmed, that Mr. Windom intends to recommend a considerable increase in the monthly pur­ chase of silver, and to satisfy tbo** who fear a further increase of a depreciated currency by issuing currency on a basis approximating the market value of silver —that i* to say, a certificate dollar *ball represent, not a silver dollar of 412} grains, but a quantity of silver that would bring $1 in the market Tnh would per­ haps be a dollar of between 51)3 aud 600 grains. ___________ Eatix Doxarcb, a young lady of N*w Haven.

Washington dispatch: Just forty-two days after tbe morning of Oct. 3, when tbe special train bearing tbe International American excursion party pulled out of Washington, the same train, beaded by the locomotive which had drawn it nearly 6,000 miles, rolled triumphantly into th* Capital city and drew un attestation, having suc-emfully completed the most in­ teresting and, from a railroad standpoint, the most extensive trip ever undertaken by on* train. It was plannsd that instead of taking th* more direct southern route from Philadelphia to Washington, the train should run down by way of Harrisburg, so that tbe delegates might see tbe beautiful Susquehanna valley and the ^ich farming lands of that part of Penn­ sylvania. Th* plan was followed, but unfortunately tho country was not seen at its beat, a* tbe lowering skjps and ths heavy, driving rains confined th* land­ scape within narrow bound*. Th* big locomotive, weighing 95,000 pound*, drew tho entire train over every foot of the 5,825 miles, and < am* to a full stop in tho station as fresh and as power­ ful as when it steamed out th* morning ot Oct. 3 No record for speed wa* made or gr»«* has been established by tbe locomo­ tive which is unrquatod in railroad history.

Do we realize that these best works of good men and women are the epitome* of vast labor, research and thought? Then let us house them with genuine tenderness. It is a good plan to have the bottom shelf broad enough to hold atlases and books of reference, like heavy cyclope­ dias when laid on their sides, unless we have for them special re«ts or tables. Large, heavy leaves are in­ clined to break away and drag down from the back, and then a book soon goes to ruin. ' That is the reason why children should be taught never to pick up a book by one cover only. It tears the cover loose from the back. For no reason ought a child to be taken by the ear except to show* it how a book feels—or to a book lover seems to feel—-when dragged about by a single cover. After the books are arranged in the case there is left the upper shelf for a couple of pictures. on easels, with a central flower vase or bronze. But to dedicate the space to an indiscriminate lot of bric-a-brac is a desecration. Nor should it be used for an old paper shelf; let papers be relegated to their proper receptacles. It is, though, a place for current magazines and a book or two subject to daily perusal. But the bookcase is not yet’finished.

A man who was recently arrested on a charge of vagrancy waa asked by the magistrate why ho did not go to work. “I cannot,” the man replied. “You cannot? Why, I haven't see a more (strapping fellow in many a day than you are. Does anything ail you ?** “No, sir.” "Then why can't you work?" “Because I used to keep a toll-gate on a turnpike in the South.” “You are discharged,” said the judge. “Here, take this dollar." The judge was a wise man. He knew the nature of a toll-gate keeper; he knew that the most active ana indus­ trious man in the world, if put down to toll-gate keeping, would soon become a slc^h, incapable of self-sup]>ort. The town constable is lazy, and the country school-teacher is not given to undue' exertion, but the toll-gate keeper is the head waiter (we can think of nothing more exalted) of indolence. The old-time toll-gate keeper waa a sort of news budget. He had nothing in. detail, but held the paragraphic gossip of several neigfaborboods. In season he had a little^ weedy garden hack of his house, and in it yellow cucumbers could be seen, withering under the fierce rays of the ■un, but no one ever saw him chop down any of the weeds or gather any of the cucumbers. Near his house there was a well from which water waa drawn with a long pole, set on a “aeesaw,” and with a heavy weight on one end. It would be risky to say that ‘ there was any worse water in the world. It was brackish and had. in con­ nection with its other atrocities, a burnt-leather taste. But how the old follow did delight in handing out that water to a thirsty and dust-covered traveler! He had a gourd that had been broken and sewed up with a twine string, but the wound had never healed, and through it the water poured down the waytarqr’* sleeve. As a rule the old follow had seven children and several grandchildren. His daughter, a pale-faced woman, with large, sad, brown eye*, had buried her husband away over on the hill under the per­ simmon tree. The oldest of the grand­ children, a chubby little rascal with a daub of molasses in his hair, would tod­ dle out to collect the toll. The old fellow does not keep the toll­ gate now. He lies under the persim­ mon tree on the hill.—Arkansaw Traveler.. Thought It Was Meant for Him. Just before the train going east left Buffalo n heavy-set, red-headed man with a grip-sack, got into a dispute with an engineer at the door of the baggage-room. I did not hear the first of it, but I did hear the fat man say: “If it wasn't right here, Td lick “I wish’ you’d try it." replied the other. . “I’ll try it soon enough. I’m going to lay foryou, old fellow.” “And I’ll lay for you! Mind, now, what I tell you! Ilf do you np before you are many years older!" The train started and rushed along for fifty or sixty miles, and then some­ thing gave way on the engine and we came to a stop. It was eleven o'clock at night, and the brakeman who ran back fell into a ditch and broke his leg and lantern at the same moment. Ten minute* later an accommodation train came booming down upon tix.

His two friends, with which he usually worked, and which fell to the-govornment at the easae time, died twenty-five years ago. In 1880 it war decided to sell all the elephant* belonging to tho Public Works Department, and Sella fell to a resident of Colombo, Mr. De Soysa. The animal was a tuskar, very docile, and worked steadily all his life. It aided in several operations for the capture and taming ot wild elephants, bat became totally blind about three years ago.

"Yes, I remember that anecdote." tbe Sunday-school soperiztendent said with tbe old pathos in his voice, and a sad look in his eyes. "It waa about a simple creature named Higgins, who used to haul rock for old Maltby. When the lamented Judge Bagleytripped and fell down the court-house stairs and broke his neck, it was a great question how to break tbe news to p< or Mia. Bagley. But, finally, the body was put into Higgins’ wagon and he was instructed to take it to Mrs. B, but to be very guarded and discreet in bis language, and not break the news to her at once, but to do it gradually and gently. When Higgins got there ; with his sad freight, he shouted till Mre Bagley came to the door. Then he said: "Does widder Bagley live hereF’ "The widow Bagley! No, sir.” "I’ll bet she does. But have it your own way. Well, does Judge Bagley live here!” "Yes, Judge Bagley lives here.” "1’11 bet be don’t. But never mind; it ain’t for me to contradict. Is tbe Judge inT” “No, not at present.” “I jest expected as much. Because you know--take hold of suthin, mum, for I’m going to make a little commu­ nication and I reckon maybe it’ll jar you Mime- I’ve got the Judge out here in the wagon, and when you see him you’ll acknowledge yourself that an in­ quest is about the only thing that could be a comfort to him!” The Toper—Put me in a little bed. Tbe Conductor— Ring tbe bell softly Tbe eoctor—AU’a well that ends well. The Hatter—Will he ever shoot that halt The Barber—Silence is tbe fool's salvation. Tbe Cabman—Han’som’ is that han’som’does. The Pickpocket—My heart goes with my hand. The Policeman—Far from the mad­ ding crowd. The Insurance Man—A long life and a merry one. The Thin Man—May my shadow never grow leas. Tbe Pugilist—Knocking, knocking; who is there! The Fat Man—Oh, that this too, too solid flesh would melt. The Politician—A long pull, a strong pull, and a pull altogether. Tbe Old Maid—’Till better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all. Editor—All liars shall hare their part in the lake th»t burneth with fire and brimstone. At a recent Sunday-school service, the clergyman was illustrating tbe ne­ cessity of Christian profi ssion in order properly to enjry tbe blesssings of providence in this world; and, to make it apparent to the youthful mind, he said: "For instance, I want to intioduce water into my house. I turn it on. The pipes and faucets nnd every con­ venience are in good order, but I get no water. Can any of you tell me why I do not get any wateiT” He ex'peered the children to see that it was Ih-cuubo he had Dot made a connection with tbe main in the street. The boys looked perplexed. They could not see why the water should refuse to run into his premises after such faultless rlambing. "Can no one tell me what have neglected?” reiterated tbe good mln, looking over tue flock of wonder­ ing Inces bowed down by the weight of the problem- "I know.” squeaked a little five-year-old. “You don’t pay* op!” PERIODICALS.

Within an hour after the first alarm sounded tbe whole structure of frown, Dorrell £ Co's building collapsed with a tremendous crash. Tho flames was dart­ ing from doors and window*, aud tho interior of the block was a glowing fur­ nace. Dry goods and other combustible materials with which tho floors were parked burned to a white heat Granite crumbled, and iron girders melted away like ice. Tho streams from the engines were dissipated in vapor before they touched the flre. Suddenly the cry arose: "Tbe walls arc falling!" Back! Back!” Tbe crowd s'Lrgrd back for their very lives, startled by tho shout. Firo­ men dropped their noszles and ran to save tbe apparatus. Great gaps opened in tho walls, and bricks from cornice* dropped into tho street with an ominous crash. There was a confused and deafening roar and a dense cloud of smoke and dust mounted heavenward. When it cleared away tbe luxurious palace of trade had vanished, only a fantastic heap of brick, broken columns marking tho site. Two engines which had been stationed at Chauncey and Bodford streets still stood upriebt amid tbe wrack, but ruined beyond repair. The boiler of Na 22 had burst as a monstrous stone fell directly upon it, flattening it out like a msss of tin. The machinery was broken and bent end the wheels and woodwork wore burned entirely away. Tho ladder truck was charred and splintered into a thous­ and fragments and tho water tower was smashed into an indistinguishable wreck. Viewed from thia point of vantage tho scene was one of thrilling grandeur. Di­ rectly opposite tbe towering Ames block, occupied by Taylor Bros., wss ablaze from 'roof to basement. From this building tbe Chauncey street, despite tbe thousands of gallons of water thrown upon it The immense stone and iron block oc­ cupied by Samuel Williams and Brigham £ Co., on tbe corner of Chauncey street and Rowe Court marked the farthest pro­ gress of the fire hi that direction. Al­ though apparently fire proof It was en­ tirely gutted. On the corner of Chauncey aud Bedford streets the large block occu­ pied by Smith, Hogg & Gardner and oth­ ers was in almost as had a plight and tbe buildings between these twn were utterly destroyed. Tbe leaping flames succeeded in crossing Chauncey street to the upper stories of tbe huge Alien block, largely oc­ cupied by Farley, Harvey & Co., aud those adjacent as far as Essex place. It was hard to direct streams of water effectively, and for a time it seemed as though Warren street might yet be reached.

These banks held *194,972,900 iu the United Hates bonds (of which *146.471,-. ■C00 was to secure circulating notes), *164,8*16,4411 of specie, and *8 >,752,0J,) ot ■legal-tender notes. Within tho year 211 Lank* were organized, having an aggre­ gate capital of *21,940,000. These tanks deposited with tho treasurer to secure cir­ culation*, *4,878,550 United States bonds, upon which ware ia-ued *3,8)?,975 in cir-culating notes.- Within the year forty-one banks went into voluntary liquidation and ■only two failed. The increase of the national banking •system, the comptroller says, has not kept pace with tho needs of the people. The tendency to in orpornte under Blate Jaw< is due, according U> the comptroller, to thu fact that no profit results to lianki from tbe depoelt of bonds tosecure eijeuiation, while in the West, where interest is high, it often results in actual lose. It h ■deemed certain by the comptroller that withdrawal of bonds held in excess of the •xninimum requirement* will continue » long as tbe uresent conditions exist, and it is asserted that legislation is necessary •to prevent a contraction of tbe volume of national-bank currency. In the opinion of the comptroller the Inws .governing national banks should be so amended as to produce tho following modi­ fications : “1. The minimum deposit of bonds to secure circulation should bo fixed at 10 per centum of capital in respect to associations -having a capital of *300,000 or less, and for all banks having a greater capital n minimum deposit of *30,000 in bondi should be required. “2. Circulation should be issued to the par value of the bonds deposited. “■?. .Semi-annual duty on circulation should be so reduced as' to equal ouoXourth »-f 1 percent per annum.’’ It is held that these changes in the law would slo little more than save the nation­ al banks from loos on account of circula•tlon if the present premium on United States l>onds is maintained. Taking as a basil of computation the capital stocx as :it appears in tho summary of reports for ■Sept. 3'1, 1889, tho present minimum of deposit of bonds is found to be *95,297.283. If the law is amended as proposed, the minimum of bond deposit required will lie reduced to *43,891,551, making pons: bio a withdrawal of *51,405,7'12 in bonds, upon which is based *4'1, 65.132 in •circulating notes. It is asserted that this -would greatly exceed tbe limit of possible •contraction, it being fair to presume, says the comptroller, that tile banks now main­ taining a deposit in excess of legal require­ ments would not withdraw tho bonds thus The Postmaster General's report haa been given out for publication. . It opens as follows: “To the Prkkjdxxt: Tho first Post­ master General submitted his report to President Washington 100 years ago. Its exact date was Dec. 0, 1780. I mention master General of the United States is committed tbe management ot tbe largest busineM concern iu tbe world, consisting of a central establishment, with almost 60,000 branches and employing over 150,­ 006 people.

Tbe capital in uso in carrying on this vast business was Inst year *1 to each man, woman and child in the United States; nevertheless, the postal service is not a money making enterprise. It is not in­ tended to be. It’s a mistake to expect it to be self-sustaining until ft is fully per­ fected. Tbe postoffice is tho visible form of tho federal government to every com­ munity and lo every citizen. Its band is the only one that touche* the local life, the social interests and business concerns of every neighborhood. It brings the government to every door In tho land and makes it tho ready and faithful servitor of every interest of commerce and society.

It i* not to work in poor quarters, it is not to transport mails afoot when they should go in railroad trains; it is not to toh-rato disloyal or listless employes if better ones can be had; it. is not finally to keep unwillingly abreast of the tunes; “Ancient regulations and time-honored customs require the Postmaster General to make numbrrlvu signatures each day to vouchers, journals and papers that could as well fall into other hand*.

The Senators and members of thu House must represent their constituents at the Po>toffice department and have tho 1'oatmaster General's best attention consider­ ing the 2,600 presidential cases. Com­ plaints of irregularity at the various post­ offices and demands for enlarged service come to the car of the Postmaster General. The various department heads must refer many subjects and Ims in Irequent consul­ tation on the dally work of the office. <bers is but little timo to originate plan.. tern, or to improve tho service.

As Buxton Block. everyone knows, they probably keep the most complete stock of drugs and medicines in the village. They strive to please by fair dealings and moder­ ate profits. They do not claim to sell on ten per cent., nor do they sell ten per cent, drugs. In view of writing a Christmas column we stepped into their store and looked over tnelr stock: we were surprised at the amount and variety of holiday goods they have got together. As to prices, we can hon­ estly say. things are as low as in any store in Barry county. They have an immense line of albums, in plush and in leather. They are the first to offer a plush cabinet album for fifty cents, and others at all prices up to five dollars. In toilet cases their stock is truly elegant. Collar and cuff boxes, glove and handkerchief boxes, Jewel cases, shaving sets, tourist’s cases, mirrors, dolls and other toys are to be found with them in an endless variety. The book department is another spec­ ialty of Goodwin & Co.; they have a large line, of over 200 volumes, .cloth bound books, of all the standard authors, at twenty-five cents. But we cannot describe their whole stock. Go in and see for yourself, and pick out what you want before It Is too late. City Drug Store, nights of pythias, ivy K K. of P., Nashville.

Keyes, both of this place, gave a catch-as-catchcan wrestling match in the opera house, Saturday evening last. At 8:30 the contestants appeared in the ring, surrounded by over 200 people. They are well matched in size and weight,—both being lightweights, and It was plainly to be seen at the com­ mencement that they meant business, and that the best man should win. The first fall was won by Downing in 24 minutes, and in order to give these contestants time to rest, Charlie Heckathorn, of this place, and Vern Young of Hastings, stepped Into the ring in a collar and elbow contest. The boys showed remarkable skill and quickness, and went into it for all they were worth". Young, however, succeeded In obtaining both falls and was given the victory, after which Downing and Keyes again stepped Into the ring, and after some careful manoeuvreing on the part of both,, clinched, which resulted in ” -----Keyes again going down; giving Mr. DownIng the victory. her Philadelphia appearance she hasung In New York and many other cl ties with equal success.

THE CLUB BY CJUtBIK M. ABHTOB. “I have the beat little wife in the world, boys,” said Lou Adams, as he walked into the pleasant club-room, in the great metropolis of Chicago, that he used to freouent bo much in hi* bachelor days. "We have been married E" uit a month, and ahe is the dearest ttle woman in the world, and perfect­ ly devoted to me. Why, if I told, her not to do onvthing, that would lx* suf­ ficient. She tlcx*8 not require reasons, end my word is law to her; she never argue." tLe question. I tell you, it is worth getting married if you can find such a wife as mine! She's a little beauty, too. I’ll Ixjt you’ll all be en­ vying me when you’ve Been her. We just got home from our wedding lour last night. We took in all the rights of Boston, Washington and New lork, besides many other jdaces of interest While she was busy unpacking and getting tilings straightened around, I just hurried down hero to see you boys. You know I bought a pretty little kouse over on Michigan avenue and wave it to Hazel for a wedding present. You must all come and dine with us when we get settled.” At this, Jones said: "Well, Lou, are you such a model Jiusbaud ? Surely, such a wife as yours must be, judging from your deacription, deserves one of the lieat. I sup pose you have deserted us, and have come to-night to bid us farewell.” “Why, yes; you all know I am n pretty gooii nort of a fellow, don’t you? Of course a man is expected to sow a few wild oats when he is a bov, but that don’t count. And so you tLink 1 •m going to desert you just because 1 am married ? Not mbeh, Icon tell vou. Guess I am my own master, and no woman will lead me around by her apron striugs. Whv, I tell you. my wife is a different *kind of a woman and she won't try. She has a beautiful home, a fine horse and carriage, and all the money she wants to do what she pleases with. Is that not enough to make any woman contented? Yon -needn’t think you can get rid of me so eoon, boys.” As the weeks flew by, and Lou fre­ quented the club rooms just the same «a in his bachelor days, his chum, Tred DeForest, said, one day : “Say,- Lon, do you know' folks are treally talking about the way you are 'neglecting tnat little, brown-eyi-d bride •of yours? You ought to be the hap­ piest man in the world with such a •wife. Do you want to break her heart •with your cruel neglect ? If her own people lived here in Chicago, it might be a little different; but to bring her •away out here from a home of affiu•ence and love, among entire strangers, and then go off every evening and leave her atone. I tell yon it’s a burnting Hhamo. How would you like to be -in her place ? I know what yon are qoing to say— that women are differ­ ent. Indeed they are, and if it were •not bo, what on earth would become of <his world? Would you be willing to enarry u girl who had led the life you iiave? Oh.no; that is altogether "dif­ ferent. You could not even respect such a woman, let alone marry her. And yet you expect that the purest girl will give up everything for you ard be glad to be your wife. Can you '_xpect that women will go on loving jus; such men, no matter how much they -re neglected? I know full well that tto. world frowns on a woman and encour­ ages a ukn for doing the self-same Two wrongs never did make a right. Well, I know 1 have wearied you with any long sermon, and perhaps offended C; but remember w hat I have said been for vour own good and the ■dear little girl whom I have learned to both honor and respect in the past few weeks. But for our long-standing friendship I should never have dared to say all this." As Lou Adams walked slowly home ho soliloquized thus: “I just wish folks would attend to their own business, and not meddle with other folks’ affairs. If Hazel don’t complain. 1 don't see why anyone ■etoe should. I can't see as I ha>e neg fect/xl her, but I guess I will skipthat ■dia'Kir of Jones* that I promised to go to to-^ight, and for a change stay home wish Hazel." As be i«w*cd a greenhouse, he stop­ ped and bought a most beautiful bunch of Jacqueminot roses, such as he used to buy so frequently before his mar­ riage. Hard was extremely fond of xoaee, and at her own home, in Phila- They had A oozy little supper, and then Lon said: “Well. Hazel, my dear, I am going to stay home with you to-night; won’t you sing for me like a good girl ?” Not one song, but many, did she sing in her rich contralto voice; and before they were aware of it the mantel clock .chimed 11. . . “Well, well, I don’t know when I have passed bo pleasant an evening. I had.no idea it was 10 o'clock, and here it is 11,” Lou said. Hazel gently said: “I used to* think we might spend many such evenings together, but you seem to find so many things to occupy your time that I have about given up seeing anything of you except at meal times." A week passed by and Lou grew .tired of spending his evenings at homo, and he commenced to plan something for every night. What could Hazel do ? Patience had ceased to be a virtue, and she must do something, or go distract­ ed. She thought it over end over, and spent many sleeplees nights; but at last she hit upon a plan—one that she did not wholly approve of. however. She was a proud, sensitive little crea­ ture, and dreaded the ordeal through which she must pass in order to cure this handsome husband of hers of his love for club-life. She finally sent for Fred DeForest, who had proved in mapy ways that he would be to her a true and loyal friend. She told Lim all—what a surprise and disappointment it was to her w hen she realized ' that Leu loved his club, the theater, the champagne suppers and “the boys" fai»bettdr than he did her. One thing was sure, they could not go on living as they had. Something must be done, and the plan was this: That Mr. DeForest should help her in everv |(ossible way, and together they would “take in" everything that Lou did, where ladies were admitted. The plans could not be perfected too soon, and after a long talk, Mr. DeForest took his departure, leaving Hazel to await further . developments. That ■very afternoon Lou walked in and said: “Say. Hazel, yon don’t care if I at­ tend the masquerade down to the club looms to-night, do you?” "Are they nice places to go to, Lon ?” “Uh, yes; every one goes. But I thought, as a matter of courtesy, I would ask you.” "Will you take me with you, Lon? You know I never went to a mar |Uerade, and I should like td go out of cariosity.” "Well, the truth of it is, dear, I can’t very well, as Mrs. Wilson stopped me on the street, yesterday, and a*<ked me to be her escort. Of course I could not very well refuse her. Don’t suppose I shall have a very good time, but yon know folks have to n-.ake martyrs of themselves sometimes." "Oh!" said Hazel, meekly, “I under­ stand, perfectly." And as he walked down the street, he said: “What a gord little wife Hazel is! ,.* . . , . .1 .Sue never scolds or makes a fuss when she is refused any request." A few hour.s later, when he looked across the hall at the masquerade, who should he see but his Hazel with Fred DeForest. At first it was hard to be­ lieve his own eyes, but when ho saw Hazel and Mr. DeForest waltz past him, he was sure of it. Never did Ha­ zel look more charming than in her short picturesque suit, representing snow; but when she came up to him he said: "Why, Hazel, ore you hero?" “Yea: von said every one came, and when Mt. DtfForest came over nud asked me to come, I was delighted to accept his invitation. Isn’t it lovely?" Strange to say, Lou Adams’ evening was spoiled nt the sight of his wife's fresh young face in that crowded ball­ room. The next day he, was nearly through dinner l>efore Hazel came iii, nearing a handsome afreet costume. Her face was flushed from the wind, and in reply to Lou's inquiry, said she had such a delightful drive with Mr. DeForest. “But, Hazel, it doesn’t look just right for vou to be running all around witix Fred DeForest." “ Why, he's vour friend, and you ride with him and invite him here. MThy shouldn’t I? You know when I mar­ ried vou your friends became mine, and I try to make it as pleasant as I can for them." It was useless to argue the question, and ao he hurried away to hia club, wonderiug. after all, if he had been wise in marrying so young, innocent and inexpeiienced a girl. That very evening he said: “Old Mrs. Wilson is coming to spend the day with you, to-morrow, Hazel, and I shall probably be called out of the city ou important business. She has taken a great fancy to you, little girl, do yon know it? I have known her ever since I was a child, and as her own boy died ao young, she sort of adopted me, and has always been a very warm friend of mine.” “Oh, I am ao sorry she is coming to­ morrow, for I have promised to attend the woman’a club at the Sherman House parlors in the afternoon. You know I was elected President of it at the lost election, and we are planning for a coavention Boon. Do not know where we shall hold it yet, but some­ one has suggested Battery D. Susan B. Anthony, Frances Willard, Helen M. Gougar, Mrs. Louise Bounds and other noted women will be here, and the gem of the whole week will prob­ ably be an address by Mrs. Laura .Ormiston Chant, of Ixmdou. I have "•promised to entertain her. They say she is a lovely woman, and has done ao much for suffering humanity through­ out her own country, and others, too. Perhaps Mrs. Wilson will go with roe to the club. You see, I was lonesome, Ix>u, and bo when I was invited to join thia club, I thought it would be a good place to spend i>art of my time when you are gone so much. And thei we, are doing ao much goo-1!" I ly said: ; "I don't know what wonu n have to ! <i«. w.th club.. I should think they had ruoug.'t to attend to their homes, ! their husbands, and children, if they , have any; without running off to clubi." . “I suppose they enjoy clubs for the ! same reason that meu do. I thought if you lielnnged to five, I could at -least join one." What had changed Hazel ao? She surely * as not the sweet, docile girl he had married six months ago. His house was always in perfect order, bis meals well cooked and nicely served, but he seldom found Hazel there: she was continually gone, from morning until night, but he could get do Hatisfaction py complaining. Finally, her mother-in-law came to visit them—a sweet-faced old lady, whom Hazel loved at sight. She l^ad been there but a week, when one day she said: “My dear child, I am an old woman, but it hurts me cruelly, Hazel, to see vou and Lou drifting ao far apart. Why is it? What makes Lou bo wretched .and unhappy? 4' Can't you tell me, dear? You nave become very dear to me, child." “Why, has Lou said he was unhap­ py? I was not aware of it. He never told me so. I will ask him.” And away went Hazel, more of a puzzle than ever to the elder Mrs. Adams. Hazel had just come in from a long drive, and after removing her things, she went directly to the library, where she found Lou an the nofa, reading. Kneeling down by his side, she asid: “Are you sick, or what is the mat­ ter?

Growing boys, who are, it is need­ less to say, always hungry, should not be allowed to cram thom«elves with all sorts of rweeta and rich things, but neither is a meager fare at all advisa­ ble. The following is the dietary of one of our better boarding-schools: Breakfast—Oatmeal, with an abun­ dance of pure milk, bread and butter, a little meat or eggs, but not both. Lunch—Fruit, rolls, buns, Albert bis­ cuits, milk, panned oysters in season, or sardines. Dinner—This meal should be served after study hours, and nhould oontist of at least four courses. A light soup, two kinds of meat, potatoes and another vegetable, a salad with crackers and cheese, and a plain nour­ ishing pudding. If the dinner is served earlier than five o’clock, would suggest a wafer with a tumbler­ ful of milk at right. As all Loys require fat, and universally dudike fat meat, leaving it «n • tamr plates un­ touched, it is well to- give them light suet puddings or similar dishes, with fats nicely blended throughout.

The man who -Haves something every vear, quotes a contemporary, who had heard the remark from every quarter, ia on the road to prosperity. It mav not be possible to save much. Tf not, save a little. Do not think that a dollar or a dime is too small a sum to lay by. Everybody knows how little expenditures get away with large sums. But few seem to know that the rule is one that works both ways. If a dime sjxent -here and ' a dollar there soon makes a large hole in a man's income, so do dimes and dollars laid away soon become a visible and respectable accu­ mulation. In this country any man can make himself independent or keep him­ self under the harrow for life, accord­ ing, as he wastes or spends his small change. Most of our millionaires laid the foundation of their fortunes by saving. It is said that Senator Farwell com­ menced life as a surveyor. Cornelius Vanderldlt began life as a farmer. Cyrus Field began life in a New En­ gland store. Postmaster Wanamaker's first salary' A. T. Stewart made his first start as a Kchool teacher. Andrew Carnegie did his first work Mohos Tavlor clerked in Water street, New York, at $2 a week. George W. Childs was an errand boy for a bookseller at $4 a month. Whitelaw Reid, our minister -to France, did work as correspondent of a Cincinnati newspaper fur 85 a week. And to the above names, which are familiar to uioxt persons, might be ad­ ded hundreds of others whose fortune and fame had the same small be­ ginning. The same or' letter opportunities exist to-day for bright, energetic young men to succeed that existed when the above millionaire:) began their business life, but to accomplish it, the aame perseverafice aud economy which charac­ terized thtur early career must be ob­ served.—Scienlijii: American.

When Thomas H Benton waa on his way to hu first seat in Congre-M. he, with a large numlwrof other members, stofiped'at a way side inn for a relav of stage horses—it being before the dars of railways. The members began tell­ ing from whence they came, and ex­ changing anecdotes about their States. Young Benton was silent during all the evening. Jnst»before they began to retire, some one asked Benton why he didn’t talk. He said he didn’t know much, and had nothing to talk about. Thia caused a laugh, and an old memher a«ked him where he was from, and if he was ashamed of his State. rNo." answered young Benton; “bnt I don’t think you will care to hear where I am from." “O, out with it. Don’t be ashamed.” (“Well, then. I'm from Arkansas. Now laugh, everyone of you blank fools.” It i* needless to say they all laughed, but young Benton was voted to be the lion of the assembly from then on.— Chuayo Ledger.

Parasites of tbe Blood. Some years ago a Russian observer discovered in the blood of birds living organisms strongly resembling those existing in the blood of jrenions attacked by malarial fever. It has since been found that these minute parasites are much more common than was at first suspected. Cold-blooded animals are especially liable to them, and the carnivora more i>o than other warm-blo-xled animals; but it is only rarely that they seem to cause incon­ venience, and in only four or five out of three hundred birds examined did death result in conse juence of lesions produced by the paratites. In those cases the symptoms were identical with those observed in victims of ma­ larial fever. k Pror.rb Well IrtoiwL “Remember, my boy, that time is money, and you must use it to tho best advontage," said old Parrott to bis nephew, at the conclusion of an hour's harangue. •I will try to." replied the scape­ grace.

The children, as they grow np, are at­ tracted by its illlustrations, and so coine in time to have a taste for read­ ing. There is always something that is new. something that is strange, something that is interesting; and we consider that we are doing our readers a positive benefit if we are instrument­ al in placing such a publication within their reach. The special arrangements which we have made with tbe Cosmo­ politan presents veiy unusual induce­ ments. That magazine, although only in tbe tenth month under its new man­ agement, is already recognized as one of the most interesting publications cf the day. It is seeking subscribers everywhere’and obtaining them. The proprietors believe that the Cosmo­ politan has only to be examined to se­ cure a permament subscriber.

Eight wit­ nesses were Introduced for the plain­ tiff and two for the defendant. Tne de­ fendant's witnesses ‘swore substantial­ ly, that Mr Dunham came down to the hotel, and io response to an invitation from Mr. Osmun got in the buggy to ride with him: while the plaintiff’s witnesses were called to show that Mr. Osmun came up to Mr. Dunham's glace of business, and after disclosing is plan to h|m, asked him to accom­ pany him. and assist in the capture of the murderer, Gosch, which he agreed to do: after which • he stepped into Mr. Osman’s rig. which was waiting at the door, and started on their mission. Mr. Dunham also in­ troduced further testimony to show that Mr. Osmun had said in presence of two witnesses at Hastings, in reply to a question asking him how much there was in the capture, that there was “8100 each for himself and Rol.” The’ case was decided against Mr. Osmun. plaintiff getting a Judg­ ment of 8100 and costs.

When he boarded the train, he was recognized and arrest­ ed by Sheriff Pollock of Charlotte. Euton Co., who was on his way to Grand Rapids, where it was supposed Hutchinson had gone. The prisoner was wanted at Charlotte for attempted murder. On Saturday evening last the prisoner and Mike Rankle if Char­ lotte concluded to settle an old' score which had existed between them for some time, which resulted in Rankle getting some hard blows over the head with an Iron poker, which, It Is thought, will result seriously.

The verdict returned Is tbo subject of general discussion, and tbe comments made on It a* a whole are by no mean* favorable to the jury. The almost uni­ versal opinion I* that the result of the long trial came little short of being a gross miscatyiago of justice. Everybody seem* to think that the death penalty would have been all too light a sentence for men found guilty of being particlpints in such a brutal murder as was'that of Dr. Cronin. There were not a few who advocate the propriety of the prosecution in the case not resisting the motion of a new trial, but allowing it to be granted, in the hope that the result ot a second trial would be that tbe three men who received life sentences in tbe penitentiary, should be given the death •penalty. The prisoners. If they secure a new trial, must bo tried on the same charge of which they have been convicted, but a heavier punishment may be visited upon them if the jury before whom they are tried so decides. In the case of Kunze, on the other hand, he could only be tried for njanslaughter, Lut ho might receive a long­ er sentence for that crime than this jury gave him.

This, I know, will he quite a disappointment to many of my cus­ tomers, and for their benefit will say that I will sell what sizes I have in their make of goods at reduced prices; in fact, cheaper than you ever bought the same grade of goods for in your life. As I cannot sort up on sizes, as heretofore, I offer extra inducements to sell them. I mean business, and hope you will find it out before it is too late. We have been doing a rushing busi­ ness in CLOTHING for the past sixty days, whichis evidence to us that our goods and prices are right.

AT THE OPEN WINDOW ALLING WATER is n? name of thp most picturesque spot in y i 11 . theCumberland coun­ try of Tennessee. It r>’r is situated a few mile.* CrU south of' Cookeville, IfcP? and is one of the first —3__ i luces visited by tourt_r *"*" who venture up lo that highland vifUgo. Caney Fork, a tributary of the Cumberland River, rises in the moun­ tains, and surges over the rocky ledges « full hundred feet into the sequestered valley below. And it is this cataract that is known as Falling Water. Tho surrounding country is wild, lonely, and romantic, and was a favor­ ite resort of tho moonshiners, until the United States revenue officers swept down upon them, shooting a few of them dead and sending many of them to tho penitentiary. Not far from Falling Water is a deep, pi ecipitous ravine, the sides of which are <xnrered with pines nnd an impenetrable undergrowth of vine* and shrubbery. The density of the foliage hides the bottom of the ravine frorn*view, but if you follow « dim bridlo-path trending from the road, vou will find that it leads to t he door of an old cabin sur­ rounded by a stake-and-rider fence, half hidden by blackberry bushes, sassafras, and weeds. This cabin was the home of old Mel­ ton. a moonshiner, and his family un­ til the spring of 1079. The still was located within a stone’s throw of the house, between two gigan­ tic bowlders, and so cleverly was it hidden by the rocky walls that towered Nip on three sides* of it, and so cur­ tained in was it on the remaining side ■i>y the vines that fell in green festoon* from the gray ledges of free-stone .above, that the old moonshiner felt ihimself perfectly safe from tbe prying •eyes of both officers and informers.* One evening about dark, as old Melton >aat in tho gallery of his cabin, drawing ■consolation alternately from a stone fug and a corn-cob pipe„he was sainted by a young man on horseback, who had ridden up from the right and whose face betrayed an expression of keen annoyance. “Hello!” cried the horseman, draw­ ing- rein, “can you tell me how far it is to Cookeville?" " ’Boat fo’ miles, stranger," replied Melton, rising to his feet and slonching forward. “Hev yo’ lost yer bearin’s?" . “Yes; went down to o"l<l Davenant’s to collect a bill this morning and------ " “Long Jack Davcnapt’s, stranger ?" “Yes; up at the head of Caney Fork, and— “Why didn't yo’ turn to the left when yo’ came to Squar Mills’ place ?" “I did; but I took the wrong road out in that confounded flat woods." “Jes.ro, jesao!

Bn*) was a lank and angular woman of forty, barefooted anddrewed in homespun.* She rose as Wilford canie iu. responding tp his bow with a queer little bob of her head, 'and then withdrew into the kitchen. The room in which Wilford found himself was large and trimly kept. A bedstead stood in one corner, while a row of nwh-lxittom chairs, a table and a sninning-wheel completed the stock of furniture. On the log walls of the cabin were tacked a few unframed photographs ot familv relations, -while on tbe mantel was a little mirror in a pine-cone frame. ' J Mrs. Melton returned presently, and began to spread the table for sup}>er. While bringing ib the last di-shos, a large, bony, and sallow girl ran into the room, "her garments dripping with rain and clinging close to her stalwart frame. “Whoop-ee! but wusn’t I sheered I” The lightnin’ struck a tree not------ ” She stopped short on seeing Wilford, her eyes flashed with anger, and she ran out of the room as nnceremonfously as she had come into it. “Thet thar’s my darter Nance,” re­ marked old Melton; "an’ she’s tho smartest gal in these hyar mountings. She win sorter set back when she seed yo’, but she'll conic in artererwhile an’ play us a chune on the organette. Nance is "a pdw’ful hand at the organ­ ette, Jfance is." “Supper’s ready,” vouchsafed Mrs. ■ Melton, in a high, cracked voice. “Sit thar. stranger, an’ reach for yo’self." Old Melton bowed his head, said grace with all the gravity of a* minis­ ter, and then plunged headlong into a discussion of religion. b , .

Nance thur’s been a threatnin’ ter jine the'Methodisses, but if she <to 111 drub her till she cain't holler." The wife made no reply to the fling at her faith, but Nance glared at her father, and then, bringing her fist down on the table so fiercely that the dishes danced, she cried: ’ “1’11 jine—III jine—Ill jine—Ill be damned ef I don’t jine!” and turning over her choir she fled the room, bang­ ing the door behind her os she went. ■ Old Melton said nothing, but he clinched his teeth with an ominous sig­ nificance. Supper .over and the table cleared off, the old man went to the kitchen dqpr and colled for Nance. “What do yo’ want?” inquired the girl. “I want yo’ to come an’ play us a chune on the organette.” “I-wfont." •Yo' wfll." “I tell you. pop, I wont." “Yo' wuthless wench! I’ll lam ye who’s boas. I’ll beat you till the blood runs down yer iegs. so he’p me!" Running to a distant corner of the main room he caught up a gnarled hickory cane and hastened bock to the kitchen. “Where's Nance?" he demanded of his wife. "She dono put out while yo’ wus lookin’for yer stick," was the answer. “Thealut! I’ll find her an’wallop Ler like I would a dog." “Stay, sir!" cried Wilford,as Melton opened the door. “Stay, air! Surely you wouldn't strike a woman ?" “I wouldn’t, eh ? I’ll whip her like a dog, I tell yo*. Stand back!” and tearing himself loose from the grasp of his guest, he rushed out into the darkness and was swallowed up in the night. Suddenly a wild scream rang high over the roaring of the wind m tne piM»—a scream so pitiful that Wilford rushed' off in the direction from 'Help I kelp! help I* -p.mnjm-1 jine th* Melhodiasea, will yo’?" and with that he struck hia daughter a fearful ’.flow, cauadng ber to reel foru ard at the feet of the young man. “Dog!" cried Wilford, “devil! Take that!" and throttling Melton, he dashed him against the rocky wall and struck him between the eyes. Melton drew a revolver, hut, before lie could use it, Wilford wrested if from hU hand, and knocked him head­ long into the Hheller of the still. “Ha!” cried W'ilford, as a vivid flash of lightning revealed the character ol his aurronndings. “A moonshiner, I ace. I thought as much," and, taking a pair of handcuffs from his pocket, ho clasi>ed them on the wrists of the prostrate man. “You will- come with me," he con­ tinued, dragging his prisoner into the opon air. “You will come with me. I have been looking for this still oi yours rince last December, but I wouldn't have found it if you hadn't been the brute that you are." Stunned, confused, the old man staggered to his feel. "What is hit, daddy? Why don’t yo’ »]>eak ?" It was the. daughter who spoke—it was the bruised and bleeding daughter who now flung her apron around the old man, and kissed his wrinkled' face. “Hit's all up with we’uns, Nance,” answered the old man in a husky voice. “Hit’s all up with we’uns. This feller's a detective.” “I knowed hit. daddy—I knowed hit. He’s been prowlin’ ’round hyar all day. I'd a-told yo’,.but I seed ho hadn't dis­ kivered the still, an’ I didn’t want his blood on yo’ hands. But,” and she hissed the words through her set teeth, “I’d a warned vo’ when I went home ef I’d a knowed hit’d come ter । this."

The lamentations of a mother over the conviction of her son in the district court of Douglas county, on Friday, drove the judge from the bench and turned the lawyers to tears. There is something infinitely sad nlxjut tbe de­ votion of a mother, and the human heart can never resist a throb of sym­ pathy when that mother’s love assarts itaelf.

This, I know, will be quite a disappointment to many of my cus­ tomers, and for their benefit will say that I will sell what sizes I have in their make of goods at reduced prices; in fact, cheaper than you ever bought the same grade of goods for in your life. As I cannot sort up on sizes, as heretofore, I offer extra inducements to sell them. I mean business, and hope you will find it out before it is too late. We have been doing a rushing busi­ ness in CLOTHING for the past sixty days, whichis evidence to us that our goods and prices are right. For Clothing, Boots and Shoes, Hats and Caps, Gents’ Furnishing Goods, Carpets, and Wall Paper, call and see and we will promise to make a lower price than any re­ tailer in Michigan.
